Rancho Cucamonga, CA + Add a trip
People on Dopplr have been to these places in Rancho Cucamonga
Q&A for Rancho Cucamonga
Getting There
Let's cut to the chase: you need one of these to get a real flavour of LA (even if the freeways are hell on wheels). Zoom around like Hollywood starlets in a classic Corvette or Cadillac from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car (+1 310 337 1400; www.bhrentacar.com). If you care about your carbon footprint, they also have hybrid vehicles.
LAX - aka Los Angeles International Airport (+1 310 646 5252; www.lawa.org) - is the somewhat chaotic international airport 16 miles from Downtown. Forget public transport: if you don't have a car, take a SuperShuttle minivan (+1 800 258 3826; www.supershuttle.com) or taxi from outside Arrivals. The ride to Beverly Hills will cost about $35 and take around 30 minutes (longer in heavy traffic).
Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) connects Los Angeles to other US cities via Union Station at 800 North Alameda Street in Downtown; Metrolink serves regional stations (www.metrolinktrains.com).
Local Knowledge
Country code for the United States: 1. There are several area codes in the city and calling outside of these can be expensive. Downtown: 213/323; Malibu, Venice, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills: 310; Hollywood, East LA and South Central: 323.
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler; Black Dahlia or LA Confidential by James Ellroy; The Comedy Writer by Peter Farrelly. My Lucky Star by Jo Keenan is a farcical, fun-poking, fictional look at Hollywood.
Do go / Don't Go
Spring and autumn sees LA is at its best. Days are often warm and sunny but summer can see a rise in smog levels and sea mist (known as 'June gloom').
You can get anything and everything in LA, from dim sum in Chinatown to Mexican enchiladas, but in SoCal, it's all about low-cal. This star-stuck city is dedicated to food fads and major-league schmoozing, so don't be surprised if your fellow diners at Ivy are sticking to a strict raw-food, low-carb 'reverse French' regime that excludes red meat, caffeine and fun. Californian wines from the nearby Napa and Sonoma Valleys are justly popular, and low on air miles. LA is not exactly the greenest of towns, but there are plenty of farmers' markets, particularly in Santa Monica (www.farmernet.com); and Grace restaurant at Beverly Boulevard (+1 323 934 4400) offers a 'Close to Home' tasting menu featuring ingredients sourced from within a 400-mile radius.
LA's sprawl means taxi rides can be expensive. You're unlikely to find a taxi rank, so book with one of the large cab companies, such as the Yellow Cab Company (+1 877 733 3305; www.layellowcab.com) or United Taxi (+1 800 822 8294; www.unitedtaxi.com).
Tipping is always expected in restaurants: 20 per cent is not unusual - it's easy to calculate by doubling the amount of tax on your bill. It's also the norm to tip a dollar for every drink at the bar. Don't forget to leave something out for your housekeeper to ensure your toiletries get stocked up to the max each day.
US dollar ($).
That film script you've been working on (preferably stuffed into a serious It bag).
Worth Doing
Along Hollywood Boulevard is the Walk of Fame, where more than 2,000 industry greats from Orson Welles to Lassie are memorialised with marble stars in the pavement. This is also the location of the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where the autograph patio is dotted with the handprints and footprints of screen legends (plus the odd cigar impression and hoofprint). Another result of the city's movie wealth is the Walt Disney Concert Hall (www.laphil.org) on Grand Avenue in Downtown; it's home to the LA Philharmonic but it's worth a visit just to see Frank Gehry's fantastic cubist architecture.
West Hollywood is the place for retail excess, particularly on Rodeo Drive and Beverly Boulevard, but less label-conscious shoppers love Robertson Boulevard's boutiques and Melrose Avenue's vintage wonderlands. La Brea Avenue is great for homewares. If you prefer everything under one enormous roof, mega-mall the Beverly Center (www.beverlycenter.com) is the place for you. The Grove (www.thegrovela.com) on Grove Drive is a boutique shopping mall next to the Farmers Market (with butchers and bakers and peanut-butter makers) - worth a peek after you've exhausted the wealth of shopping possibilities on West Third Street. This is not to be confused with Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade - also good for browsing. For something a little more bohemian, head to Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice; the best indie stores include Equator Books (+1 310 399 5544; www.equatorbooks.com), Japanese design emporium Tortoise (+1 310 314 8448; www.tortoiselife.com), and retro-furniture showroom Surfing Cowboys (+1 310 450 4891; www.surfingcowboys.com).
Drive up to twisting Mulholland Drive for exhilarating views over the city; the road runs for 50 miles from Hollywood all the way to the Malibu coast. There are also fine views from the Getty Center (+1 310 440 7300; www.getty.edu) in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains; it's one of LA's finest museums of art, sculpture and photography (closed Mondays).
Almost everywhere in LA has been used as a set, and each familiar façade will frustrate forgetful film fans: play the Total Recall game (better known as, 'Hey, I bet that diner was in Pulp Fiction/Pretty Woman') and then settle scores online at www.movielocationsguide.com or www.movie-locations.com.
Some of these events could only ever happen in LA. Late February The Academy Awards (Oscars) at the Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard sends the city into a frenzy (www.oscar.com). March/April Holy cow! Farm animals and pets are blessed by the city's cardinal at the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Monument in Downtown on the Saturday before Easter (www.overa-street.com). Late July Expect punk music, hot rods and Catholic priests at the Blessing of the Cars - yes, cars (www.blessingofthecars.com). The Honda US Open of Surfing kicks off at Huntington Beach in Orange County (www.usopenofsurfing.com). December Celebrities, razzmatazz, marching bands and colourful floats can only mean one thing: the Hollywood Christmas Parade on the Sunday after Thanksgiving - it's 100 per cent Tinseltown (Christmas is just an excuse).

Bambara Mystic Soul – The Raw Sound Of Burkina Faso 1974 to 1979Various
CD (Item 579183) Analog Africa (Germany), Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy
Raw sound, indeed – and possibly one of the most hard-hitting compilations so far from the Analog Africa label! There's a quality here that's mighty fresh, and which shows us that there's still plenty of African nuggets to find, if you know where to dig! Much of the music has a dark, moody quality that's really striking – still the grooves you'd expect, but an exotic undercurrent that's almost like Ethiopian music – although very much it's own vibe too! The mix is really wonderful, and makes these tracks from Burkina Faso a rich musical discovery – one that's very thoughtfully put together by the Analog Africa label, with their usual strong attention to sound and detailed notes – not to mention a very handsome package. Titles include " Kabendo" by Konde Mangue, "Sie Koumgolo" by Coulibaly Tidini, "Rog Mik Africa" by Orchestre CVD, "Kodjougou" by Abdoulaye Ciess, "Dambakale" by Compaore Issouf, "Tink Tank" by Afro Soul System, "Love Music & Dance" by Mamo Lagbema, and "Johnny" by Amadou Ballake Et Super Volta. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

'Crossword Ease' is a play on the term 'crosswordese', an in-house word used by crossword puzzle aficionados (often called 'cruciverbalists') to describe obscure words that turn up in crossword puzzles quite often, but hardly ever in that hard-to-define place known as the 'real world'.
In this book I'll help you decode the clues that stop most people from finishing their morning newspaper crossword puzzle. While you're at it, you'll learn a whole bunch of fascinating stuff about how puzzles are made and how their makers try to trick us at every corner!
But the obscure words you'll master in this little book will prepare you for much more than crossword puzzles. You can use them to kick butt in Scrabble, Words With Friends, Lexulous, Text Twist, Spelling Bees, or a million other vocabulary games.

In his op-ed piece for The Wall Street Journal, The Economic Windfall of Immigration Reform, Professor Giovanni Peri shows that large economic gains are achievable if the immigration system is reorganized. "From 1990-2010, scientists and engineers admitted by the H-1B visa program added $615 billion to the economy." Professor Peri has outlined three fundamental principles for immigration reform: first, simplify the current system that has more than 30 categories of temporary visas each with specific provisions, numeric limits, requirements and fees; second, the number of temporary work visas should respond to the demand for labor rather than a set number irrespective of economic conditions; and third, identify and admit workers whose skills bring the greatest value to the American economy.
Giovanni Peri is Professor of Economics at the University of California, Davis. His recent work has focused on the impact of international migrations on labor markets, housing markets, investments, and productivity of the receiving countries.

Finland's national strategy for sustainable development "Towards sustainable choises. Nationally and globally sustainble Finaland" was adopted in June 2006 by the Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development
The characteristic feature of the Finnish national sustainable development policy is a wide-reaching participation of various societal actors both in the definition of the contents and implementation of the measures. The approach is already referred to as the "Finnish model", in which broad-based, multi-stakeholder participation is combined with high-level political leadership.
Since the late 1980's, Finland has strived to enhance the role of sustainable development in mainstream politics. The Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development has been working continuously since 1993. Led by the Prime Ministers for 14 years until recently, it has brought into the limelight of national debate several important themes of sustainable development. Four national policy documents for sustainable development have been prepared and endorsed and, beside the newest one from 2006, also implemented and assessed.
Beside environmental considerations, the social, cultural and economical aspects of sustainable development have increasingly gained foothold in Finland. One of the ultimate aims is to consider impacts of sustainable development in an integrative way and, consequently, enable the materialization of the potential win-win-win opportunities in building up a sustainable society.
Finnish municipalities are also active in promoting sustainable development. In 2007, two thirds of the Finnish municipalities had either established or were in the process of establishing their own local agenda 21.

Sports Update
A tale of two halves: Boyd surrenders lead, falls to Plano
By Richard C. White,
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 10:48 PM CST
PLANO -- The McKinney Boyd girls basketball team gave Plano Senior all it could handle in the first half of its Tuesday night game. The Lady Wildcats, though, would quickly do the same, turning the table on their district rival in the second half, on the way to a 67-43 victory from Plano High School.
"That's the tale of our season right now," said Rochelle Vaughn, Boyd head coach. "We have not figured out a way to play four entire quarters at one time. We played a great first half, had the lead, then we came out in the third and let Plano get a quick 6-0 run against us and our body language completely changed and it snowballed from there."
Boyd (9-14, 0-2) led Plano (18-6, 2-0) by a score of 20-19 at the half before the Lady Wildcats promptly turned things around.
"It was hard-fought as Boyd gave us a game in the first half," said Lynn Meger, Plano head coach. "It scared us a little. They're very disciplined. They have some great aggressive, physical players who made things tough on us. In the second half we kind of woke up."
Leading the way for the Lady Wildcats was Wilma Afunugo with 22 points, followed by Grace Mitchell with 14 and Haley Wray with 10.
"I told them to be patient," Meger said. "The difference in the second half was really due to two players, Haley and Wilma. Haley didn't have any turnovers in the second half and Wilma also had a strong, dominant second half, which helped us. They were key to our turnaround."
Meger was also impressed by the play from Mitchell.
"Our offense is pretty much ignited by our defense," she said. "Grace Mitchell did a great job of putting the pressure on the ball, which made things easier on the offensive end. That was pretty big."
Julia Hendrieth had a team-high 15 points for the Lady Broncos, while JJ Brightwell contributed with 10 and Haley Carruthers scored nine.
"Julia didn't start tonight," Vaughn said. "She was sick, but came in and gave us great effort off the bench and provided us with a spark. And Haley is always consistent for what she provides for us as far as leadership on the court and JJ is getting better every game."
The trio was instrumental in the Lady Broncos' strong first half, which saw them give the Lady Wildcats, one of the District 10-5A favorites, plenty of trouble.
"I saw a lot of great things in the first half, especially as far as our defense was concerned," Vaughn said. "We rotated pretty well, matched-up well, and executed our game plan."
Boyd may be 0-2 to start district, but Meger sees a bright future for the Lady Broncos throughout the rest of this district season.
"They controlled the tempo to start," she said. "They were out-rebounding us early. We had to overcome some adversity because we haven't been down much at halftime. They're going to be fine in district. I think they got a good shot at making the playoffs."
The Lady Broncos, though, were unable to maintain their effective play from the first half as the Lady Wildcats outscored them 21-12 in the third quarter, something Vaughn said has been an unfortunate recurrence this season.
"For some reason, we always have one bad quarter that seems to set us back," she said. "We have to improve our effort and consistency."
Plano would gain even more separation in the final frame, outscoring Boyd 27-11. At one point in the fourth quarter, Boyd committed back-to-back turnovers as Plano sank several shots from beyond the arc to further expand their lead.
"In the third quarter we made shots and that opened up a whole lot of other things for us," Meger said. "That was the biggest difference; that we settled down. And we were able to wear them down a little by the fourth quarter."
The two teams return to action Friday night when Plano travels to Plano East while Boyd hosts Allen.
While Boyd's start to its district schedule may not be what she would have liked, Vaughn is encouraged all the same by the promise she sees in the Lady Broncos' near future.
"Hopefully we can build off the first half moving forward and just keep getting better," she said. "We are slowing seeing improvement in every game. The players have to be able to see their potential and experience it themselves and they did that to start this game."

21. | Joel | ||
A faggotrocious ass bitch who enjoys swallowing bags of dix. Jerry is being a real joel
1. | joel | ||
Refers to a cool, intellectual, popular, well-liked, needed, or otherwise important person. A person that's more important than regular people. Arrised from the word "yo" which resembles the word "joel," used to call important people who have been predefined as a joel. Person: Hey joel!
Person who is a joel: Hey what's up? |
2. | Joel | ||
You'll never meet anybody whose as interesting as a Joel. It's hard to wrap your fingers around him because he isn't stable. This guy is so good at reading people and playing mind games that he'll have you wrapped around his finger before you know it and you'll fall so in love with him that you'll begin to disregard all of the bad qualities that he has. A Joel is passionate and driven, someone who can overcome challenges without letting the pressure enthrall him. Truly a calm and cool individual. He's smart,cunning,and deceitful but that just adds to his hotness. He's well liked but he can let it get to his arrogant head and become a rude and selfish jerk. Beware if you aren't in his inner circle or a complete hottie because that's when his rudeness becomes noticeable. Despite his many faults he will cherish those that he love and remain loyal and dedicated to you once you've been accepted by him. He's cautious about who he chooses to surround himself with and thus he knows many but has few true friends. He is the epitome of an evil genius. Girl 1: Hey who is that hot guy over there???
Girl 2: Oh that's Joel but he is such a smart ass player!!! Girl 1: I've finally found what I've been looking for!! |
3. | Joel | ||
1. An awesome name for an awesome guy. 2. To be Joel is to be really hot. (e.g. wow. you are Joel) alex: Wow that guy is hot!
karina: Oh that's Joel. alex: oh my goodness. |
4. | Joel | ||
(n.) Joel- The Latin version of the Hebrew name Yo-el, meaning 'Jehova is God' or 'Yahweh is Lord'. The Greek version ,Ioel, has a similar meaning.
This name was possibly derived from the sun god of Ur, Yo`el, during a time of great cultural mixing. Joel was also the name of a prophet in the To-rah whom warned of the Apocalypse. "Would you please open your Bibles to the book of Joel."

Economists say Oregon tax revenue up slightly
Feb 15, 2013
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The state of Oregon will see an influx of tax revenue from investments in the next few months, followed by a drop in future years as investors carry forward income to avoid potential tax increases, state economists said Friday.
The projection means the state should have about $87 million more to spend in the next two-year budget — a slight bump over the last projection — as lawmakers craft a new spending plan.
Still, the $16.6 billion in total anticipated revenue for the general fund and lottery is $700 million less than the estimated cost of continuing state services at current levels.
Economists expect capital gains taxes will be up 44 percent this year, and say corporate income tax collections also are coming in higher than projected.
State Economist Mark McMullen said it's now possible that those taxes will rise fast enough to trigger a tax provision known as the corporate kicker that would provide millions of dollars in tax rebates for corporations.
Oregon voters approved a ballot measure in November redirecting corporate kicker rebates to schools, but the measure wouldn't apply in this case because the initiative doesn't take effect until the next two-year budget period.
Economic growth is improving a bit but is still slower than typical economic recoveries, McMullen said.
Since Oregon doesn't have a military base or much defense industry, the state wouldn't be as seriously affected by automatic federal spending cuts set to take effect in March unless Congress cancels them, McMullen said.
The biggest risk to Oregon's budget would be a cut in federal funding for Medicaid, the health care plan for low-income Americans also known as the Oregon Health Plan.
"As long as Medicaid is off the table, it probably won't be catastrophic on the local level," McMullen said.

Which Script Variable to use with Windows 7 Install
Posted 19 December 2012 - 08:32 AM
I want to use a script that will tell WPI to execute after it installs all my apps that will remove all the desktop shortcuts. The general thought is to use -
del /s/q "%allusersprofile%\Desktop\*.lnk"
However, research on the web says that the variable %allusersprofile% has changed in Windows 7 to %programdata%. Can anyone confirm this and if so does the rest of the script change in any way?
Posted 19 December 2012 - 09:52 AM
DEL "%SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Desktop\*.lnk"
Posted 19 December 2012 - 10:28 AM
Posted 19 December 2012 - 06:22 PM
Will try that later today and post my results.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 06:35 AM
DEL "%PUBLIC%\DESKTOP\*.lnk"
DEL "%SystemDrive%\Users\Public\Desktop\*.lnk"
del /s/q "%allusersprofile%\Desktop\*.lnk"
and it fails every time with the returned code:
(returned code 999)
Any ideas?

As I stated above I did use your suggestion to no avail. I'm starting to wonder if I'm putting in the wrong place. I didn't want to have to add that command to every individual app command page so I put it in the "Execute after" entry on the Options/Tools tab.
Is that the wrong place?

So for cmd styles you would add the ACTUAL command:
Execute after:
Regedit /s %path%\reg.reg
(As noted in recent post I am not actively developing WPI for a long time so who knows when that will change?)

EASLEY — It's been an eventful year in Easley, and we've had plenty of stories to share throughout 2012. With the New Year rapidly approaching, we thought this would be the perfect time to catch you up on the five biggest stories of the year.
Easley soldier killed in action overseas
A crowd of over 500 people gathered to witness the body of Sgt. 1st Class Brad Thomas arrive home in Easley after he was killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan in July. Heavy hearts looked on, as the war suddenly gave a shocking reminder of its devastating effects. "It was hard because it was emotional for us," said Easley Fire Chief Butch Womack. Thomas left behind a wife and son. Easley Mayor Larry Bagwell said Thomas' death is a horrific reminder of what is sacrificed for Easley and the United States each day. "Military families play a big part in this community," said Bagwell. "The City of Easley recognizes the part (the military) plays in protecting our freedom. We respect and depend on our military in all forms."
Kinsela found not guilty on murder charges
A jury found Donald Kinsela not guilty of murder and arson after about an hour of deliberation following a trial in early December. Kinsela's wife, Cheryl, died in a shed fire behind the couple's residence in July 2010. The trial, which lasted about a week, was concluded after it was determined the prosecution did not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The fire, which occurred on July 3, entrapped Cheryl Kinsela under a stairway in the shed behind the house, according to law enforcement. Authorities say she died of carbon monoxide poisoning and was never burned in the blaze. Donald Kinsela was an Easley businessman.
Chihuahua feud headed to civil court
An Easley resident is claiming that a city councilman currently maintains possession of her four-pound Chihuahua, and the two human parties will be headed to civil court to determine rightful ownership. Kerri Blanton says her family, which includes five children, lost the dog in May while on vacation. Blanton says City Councilman Dave Watson gave the Chihuahua a home for a little over four months, but now realizing where her dog resides, Blanton has asked for "Lucy" back. Blanton says there was an unsuccessful search in the days after losing the Chihuahua, and says her family had nearly given up. Watson has refused to return the dog and a court date in Liberty is set for some time in the near future.
Easley High moves into new location
Easley High School has been at its location off Pendleton Street since 1939, the same year that Hollywood produced "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz." Students and faculty moved into the new location near the J.B. Owens Complex this year, which includes new sports facilities, state-of-the-art classrooms and an all-around different look. Since leaving the old high school, renovation on Pendleton Street has begun. A wall that once separated Brice Field from the street is now gone, along with several other structures on the campus. Plans are in place to turn the building into Brice Middle School.
Saying goodbye to those who have served Easley and Pickens County for so long
2013 will be a strange year for Easley and Pickens County residents. David Stone won't be your sheriff, Tim Morgan won't be your assistant sheriff and Henry Hunt won't be your superintendent. Even Baptist Easley's Roddey Gettys only has a short time left with the hospital before his departure. It is definitely going to be a year of change. We owe a great deal of gratitude to those who have served and made Easley such a great place to live. To the police who protect us, the hospital administrator who helps our sick patients and the superintendent who looks out for our kids — we say thank you. As we welcome new faces into Pickens County, let's keep in mind that change isn't always bad.

Gravity is the means by which objects with mass attract one another.
The sun has a mass that is 330,000 times the mass of the Earth.
The sun is a gravitational monster! The gravity of the sun is so powerful that other objects of massive gravity, such as the Earth, are attracted to it and surround it.
We call it orbit.

Just curious and turned the tv to CNN where the talking heads are basicly laughing it off by claiming this was just a Republican thing because it's an election year. I know, I know, what else would they say especially so soon? Still, the FACT of the matter is Obama is HIDING something and no amount of smirks will change that. How I wish I could see some of those smirks get wiped off that but that's a channel I usually NEVER turn on.
No smokin, what this is is the usurpation of the United States government by an outside entity. One that is bent on the destruction of the Republic, and which has employed the chocolate messiah as their "tool" to make it happen. And this "tool" has now openly declared that the Constitution is no longer the law of the land in the United States. All the while those elected to the other branches watch this happen without taking the slightest action.
If ever I saw "the time" for the Second American Revolution, this is that time.
There are supposed to be multiple whistleblowers. I wonder does the committee already have copies of the pertinant documents?
With this act bamma has made it clear that not only his AG is guilty of some/many offenses but the WH is too.
Why would Bamma be willing to take this hit during election season? I think the hit he'll take now is much less that what would come out of the AG doc were released. I don't think bamma or his guys will comply with congress or anything close to a controling legal authority now or after the next election. (Will there be an election?) He's made it clear that the constitution and rule of law are no longer matter in this country.
He'll get away with this since no one will stand up to him. We are now a banana dictatorship.

Issa pushes ahead with Holder contempt vote despite Obama intervention
Published June 20, 2012
| FoxNews.com
Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday that he is pressing ahead with a committee vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, despite an 11th-hour move by President Obama to exert executive privilege over the Fast and Furious documents at the heart of the dispute.
The announcement immediately touched off a caustic debate on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, as Democrats accused Issa of prosecuting a "political witch hunt" and Republicans stepped up their criticism of Holder's "stonewalling" over the Fast and Furious probe. Even for Washington, the tone at the hearing was decidedly bitter and accusatory.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was first informed of the president's decision to exert executive privilege in a letter Wednesday morning, shortly before the contempt vote was scheduled.
Issa said committee staff are evaluating the letter but described the move as too little, too late as he and other GOP lawmakers questioned the basis for the assertion.
"This untimely assertion by the Justice Department falls short of any reason to delay today's proceedings," Issa said.
Issa accused the Justice Department of trying to compel the committee to close its investigation in exchange for documents it hasn't yet seen. "I can't accept that deal. No other committee chairman would," he said.
But Issa's Democratic counterpart, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., fired back that Holder never made such a demand, and said the attorney general had come to the committee in "good faith" to try and work out an agreement.
Cummings said the upcoming contempt vote has "diminished" the prestige of the panel. "For the past year, you've been holding the Attorney General to an impossible standard," he said, addressing Issa. "Mr. Chairman, it did not have to be this way. It really didn't."
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., added that she was "horrified" by the panel's looming vote, calling it a "political witch hunt" and accusing Republicans of "overruling" the president.
If the vote proceeds, Republicans have more than enough votes on committee to pass the contempt resolution. However, Holder would not be considered held in contempt of Congress unless and until the full House approves the measure.
The move by Holder and Obama to lock down some requested documents only complicates the fight over the botched anti-gunrunning operation between the legislative and executive branches.
After Holder made the request to Obama via letter on Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., on Wednesday informing him that the president has granted the request.
"We regret that we have arrived at this point, after the many steps we have taken to address the committee's concerns and to accommodate the committee's legitimate oversight interests regarding Operation Fast and Furious," Cole wrote. "Although we are deeply disappointed that the committee appears intent on proceeding with a contempt vote, the department remains willing to work with the committee to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of the outstanding issues."
Obama's decision pertains to documents from February 2011 and afterward examining how Justice officials learned about the Fast and Furious probe.
Holder, in his letter to Obama, said those documents pertain to the "deliberative process" on how to respond to congressional and media inquiries.
Wednesday's developments follow a flurry of activity Tuesday, as Holder tried to negotiate a way to avert the contempt proceedings. Issa had earlier indicated a willingness to postpone the vote after Holder indicated a willingness to make compromises and supply some documents in response to House Republicans' subpoena.
But Issa told reporters after a roughly 20-minute meeting with Holder Tuesday that the attorney general instead briefed them on the documents in lieu of delivering them.
Issa told Fox News that Holder didn't provide "anything in writing," and said the family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry wants the documents as much as he does.
"We want the documents. Brian Terry's family would like the documents that are responsive to how in fact their son was gunned down with weapons that came from lawful dealers but at the ... behest of the Justice Department," Issa told Fox News. Weapons from the Fast and Furious anti-gunrunning operation were found at Terry's murder scene.
Issa further said during the committee meeting Wednesday that the purpose of the probe "has never been to hold the attorney general in contempt." He said the committee had an aide on Capitol Hill all night in the hope that the Justice Department might send over documents to the panel.
The failed Fast and Furious operation attempted selling thousands of guns to arms dealers along the U.S.-Mexico border to trace them to leaders of drug cartels. However, many of them showed up in crime scenes.
Congressional investigators have been trying to determine if and when high-level Justice officials knew about problems with the operation.
Holder said Issa rejected what he thought was "an extraordinary offer." Holder called for the Capitol Hill meeting late Monday in a possible attempt to make a deal with Issa and avoid the contempt vote.
"We offered the documents that we thought would resolve the subpoenas," he said. "The ball is in their court."
The contempt vote in the oversight committee will likely pass considering Republicans outnumber Democrats 22 to 16.
GOP House leadership has given Issa the green light to proceed how he sees fit, sources told Fox News, which suggests the vote would reach the House floor.
Issa had demanded to see a trove of documents on the controversial Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation. He also wants to know who prepared a now-retracted letter from Feb. 4, 2011, in which the department claimed the U.S. did not knowingly help smuggle guns to Mexico, including those found where Terry was killed.
Issa wrote back to Holder later Monday requesting he deliver roughly 1,300 documents pertaining to the Feb. 4 letter.
The letter also stated Holder needed to deliver a description of all the documents he will not produce. Issa said the log is "essential for the committee to determine whether the department has substantially met its obligations" -- a statement he repeated Tuesday after the meeting.

Um, one thing to keep in mind. Even if Holder receives the contempt of Congress ruling, nothing will happen to him. Yep, NOTHING! He may get a little embarressed about it, but that's all. Remember in the Bush admin, the Atty General got the contemp of Congress ruling over firing all those federal judges. But nothing, zero, zip, nada ever really came of it.
Sheesh, a waste of executive priviledge. Or a showing of true colors??
Stupid outta hurt immediately!
This buys time. If they take it to Federal court--and then to the supreme court no decision will come before the November elections...
As others have said I do expect a false flag event now--gotta get the media reporting and diverted to something else.
Just something you ought to read before we all get too crazy over this. As posted elsewhere this morning:
History of presidential use of executive privilege
President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege for the first time Wednesday. He applied the presidential power to withhold documents a House committee is seeking in an investigation of a flawed gun-smuggling probe called Operation Fast and Furious.
Presidents have the right to invoke executive privilege to preserve the confidentiality of information and documents in the face of legislative inquiries. The White House says presidents have asserted that privilege 25 times since 1980.
Here's a look at how many times each president since Ronald Reagan have asserted executive privilege:
President Barack Obama: 1
President George W. Bush: 6
President Bill Clinton: 14
President George H.W. Bush: 1
President Ronald Reagan: 3
And if you think we're crazy in this country, look at this:

So when's the Revolution? God or Money? Choose.
Amazingly arrogant or ignorant move.
Not only is this scandal now blowing up but so is Leakgate and both those scandals can bring federal charges against members of the administration and imprisonment.
This may be proven the most corrupt administration in history.
No way I am going anywhere near a mall, or letting my kids anywhere near a mall or an amusement park. Don't like those places anyway, rather enjoy the great outdoors minus tourist traps.
Kitty, the raw statistics really aren't applicable to this. Why? Because IN THIS CASE the investigation is about an issue that is PLAINLY CRIMINAL, that RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, and those involved have PERJURED THEMSELVES about the activities and participants. Most of the previous Exec Priv declarations were for minor things that would embarrass the president. Not this time. And IF the president was in on all this, and IF the actual motive was to build a case upon which to attempt to ban firearms in this country in direct violation of the Constitution, this is a very, very big deal. Makes Watergate look like a paperwork SNAFU by comparison....
There are a lot of good comments and questions on this thread.
If Mr. Holder is held in Contempt of Congress, will he be able to keep his membership in the bar or be disbarred?
The claim of executive privilege is a qualified privilege for the President, what he knew and when he knew it, so Mr. Obama is specifically involved.
Looking back at the precedents set in the Nixon controversy, the Supreme Court can move quickly. Even the slobbering old Justice Douglas got sober enough to issue a timely decision, even though he couldn't tell the proper time of day.
With a Contempt of Congress charge against Mr. Holder going around, a movement for a Special Prosecutor or so, and a pre impeachment plan being proposed, this will be a busy few months.
If convicted, the HNIC would instantly pardon him.
And, I might add, in consideration of the weak and vague assertions in the latimes article,
'The Supreme Court confirmed the legitimacy of this doctrine in United States v. Nixon, but only to the extent of confirming that there is a qualified privilege. Once invoked, a presumption of privilege is established, requiring the Prosecutor to make a "sufficient showing" that the "Presidential material" is "essential to the justice of the case."(418 U.S. at 713-14). Chief Justice Burger further stated that executive privilege would most effectively apply when the oversight of the executive would impair that branch's national security concerns.'
But were these invocations of Executive Priviledge made during an ongoing CRIMINAL investigation?
Given that we ALREADY have a Supreme Court ruling, from 1974, that spells out when a President can invoke Executive Privilege and when he can't, does this really need a whole new "going to the Supreme Court" process?
Can't Congress simply invoke the earlier SCOTUS ruling from the Watergate years and use that to proceed?
In other words, by this action, Obama is either:
1. Using EP to protect a NON-Executive official, in which case it doesn't apply
2. Using it to protect HIMSELF, in which case he's as good as saying he's guilty
3. Saying to H with all rule of law and the other two branches of govt., and using this as a smokescreen to do whatever His Highness pleases.
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
There is one report of todays hearings that says that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was, by law, to be informed of the gun running scheme. Ms. Clinton claims she was never informed of, nor approved of this scam.
If anyone can post a site or link to a transcript of the hearing, I would appreciate it.
Or is Mr. Obama setting up Ms. Clinton?

According to libs, Obama has rarely used Executive Privilege compared to Bush. (Of course.) While 1st time Senator, Obama even denounced him for doing so:
CNN'S LARRY KING: "Do you favor executive privilege or should Karl Rove and others in that like position be forced to testify before the House or Senate?
OBAMA: "Well, you know, I think we'll -- we'll determine over the next several weeks how this administration responds to the very appropriate call by Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, to have these individuals come in and testify. You know, there's been a tendency on the part of this administration to -- to try to hide behind executive privilege every time there's something a little shaky that's taking place. And I think, you know, the administration would be best served by coming clean on this. There doesn't seem to be any national security issues involved with the U.S. attorney question. There doesn't seem to be any justification for not offering up some clear, plausible rationale for why these -- these U.S. attorneys were targeted when, by all assessments, they were doing an outstanding job. I think the American people deserve to know what was going on there."

If at first you don't secede, try, try again!
The papers in question have nothing to do with national security so I think they can continue putting pressure him and obama to hand over the documents.
EDIT ADD: In a way it does have much to do with our national security and its at risk because of the criminal acts that were hatched out and then carried out and also involves death or murder of a united states citizen.

Would this disqualify the two SC justices appointed by O if this were to go to the supreme court? Setting up a 5-2 or 4-3 decision?

A senior administration official tells Fox News that Attorney General Holder asked the president Tuesday to invoke executive privilege and the president completely agreed that it was warranted in this case.
"The reason is the president believes the documents in question are "not anything material to [the] Fast and Furious [investigation]." Instead these documents are "internal deliberations within the Justice Dept" about how the administration planned to respond to congressional investigators and media inquiries about Fast and Furious - not the actual Fast and Furious investigation itself, per the same senior administration official.
"The president feels strongly this is a protected group of documents" because it falls under the principle of internal deliberations and advice within administration, noted the senior administration official. Presidents in both parties have asserted this same privilege.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, though, questioned whether Obama's assertion means White House officials may have been involved in Fast and Furious discussions.
"Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding 'Fast and Furious' were confined to the Department of Justice. The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the 'Fast and Furious' operation or the cover-up that followed. The Administration has always insisted that wasn't the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?" Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said.
But the assertion does not necessarily mean that President Obama himself was involved in the internal deliberations. Remember that during the U.S. attorney scandal the Bush administration was asserting executive privilege for Karl Rove's conversations with Justice Department officials - this did not mean that then-President George W. Bush was involved in the conversations themselves.
Obama administration officials also point out that Bush asserted executive privilege six times and Clinton 14 times - both of whom protected the same category of documents being protected today. Dating back to President Reagan, presidents have asserted executive privilege 24 times.

Fox News hosts falsely claimed that a federal program that helps low-income Americans obtain phone access is paid for by individual taxpayers, when in fact the program is funded by fees levied on telecommunications companies. Fox fabricated this falsehood in support of a new smear campaign against low-income phone programs from conservative activist James O'Keefe.

PHILADELPHIA For the first time in a month, Eagles quarterback Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy practiced Tuesday.
Both were listed as limited participants on the injury report.
Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder intimated both could play Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals if theyre cleared by an independent neurologist and have no further concussion symptoms.
Privately, dont look for them to return this week, if they get back on the field at all this season.
Vick threw the ball effortlessly during the early portion of a light, noncontact practice.
How did he look? wide receiver Riley Cooper said rhetorically. He looked like Vick.
McCoy walked in by himself long after practice. Asked how he was doing, McCoy replied not so good. McCoy entered the trainers room before it could be ascertained if it was concussion symptoms or a dose of the flu causing the discomfort.
At any rate rookie Nick Foles, off his best game of the season, a last-second 23-21 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was happy to see both standouts return to work.
Its great having them out there, Foles, who makes his fifth straight start Thursday against the Bengals said. We love both of those guys so just having them out there on the field, just as a presence to be out there with us young guys is great for the team. Its a great vibe for the team so its just great to have them out there.
Rookie Bryce Brown has rushed for 100 or more yards in two of his three starts and has four touchdowns in that time.
Burkholder said Vicks concussion impact test was back to normal, enabling the veteran quarterback to ease back in.
Hes really in Stage 5 of this rehab process, Burkholder said. And if everything goes well today, if I can get him in to see the independent neurologist tomorrow hell go see him.
McCoys concussion symptoms are gone, per Burkholder. But he had an upper respiratory cold over the weekend, and was slated to practice on a limited basis just to move around and get his legs back underneath him.
If hes OK well send him to the independent neurologist tomorrow if I can get him in, Burkholder said. Yesterday Mike wasnt here because he had a little bit of what LeSean had over the weekend.
Were not listing them as out. Theyre still very much alive for things and well see how they do today and take it day by day. Of course they have to get through this fifth phase. They have to get through the independent, which could be tomorrow and they have to see Dr. Dorshimer and get his clearance, as well.
Tough as it is to imagine that Vick has thrown his last pass for the Eagles, its not the least bit difficult for Foles to function with Vick watching his every move.
No, theres no awkwardness, Foles said. As Ive said before, Mike and mines relationship has stayed the same. Ill always support Mike and I know hell always support me no matter what. Our relationship will stay the same.
Vick, to his credit, has been much the same positive influence on Foles as veteran backup quarterback Trent Edwards, who deserves a high-five for basically serving as the rookie passers personal quarterbacks coach.
Vicks positive attitude has impressed several people on the Eagles payroll.
Eagles tight end Brent Celek and defensive tackle Mike Patterson formally are out Thursday.
Celek sustained a concussion on the first play of the win over the Buccaneers. He told Burkholder he lost consciousness for a few moments, and although he appeared OK to the trainer, NFL and team protocol dictated he had to exit.
Celek had X-rays on his neck, which revealed no damage and had balance issues that abated and was back to normal after the game, according to Burkholder. Celek had no symptoms Monday, got an MRI on his neck and is in Stage 1 of the concussion protocol, according to the Eagles.
Interestingly, Celek already passed his impact test. He could be in Stage 2 tomorrow per Burkholder, who also intimated Celek might be able to play against the Bengals using the NFL concussion criteria.
We feel like they have to get through those five phases of rehab, Burkholder said. And its impossible to do five phases in four days. So hell miss Thursdays game.
Patterson was discharged from the hospital but has been weakened by pneumonia. Hell miss his second straight game.
NOTES: Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin revealed he hurt his groin getting jumped by Nnamdi Asomugha after catching the last-second touchdown pass that beat the Bucs (insert your Nnamdi tackling joke here). Maclin was limited at practice Reid said safety Kurt Coleman, who has a bruised sternum, would be a stretch to get on the field against the Bengals. Coleman said the issue is coming along. Guard Evan Mathis (ankle) didnt practice but expects to play Thursday Asomugha (neck stinger, quad contusion) practiced fully Referee Carl Cheffers and his crew officiate the Thursday game. The Eagles have won their last two games with Cheffers. Ron Winter, the referee in the Birds win over the Bucs, has presided over half of Reids triumphs this season.
The other two Eagles victories came with replacement referees Owlscoop.com confirmed that University of Miami defensive coordinator Mark DOnofrio was at Temple today to interview for the football head coaching job. Eagles interim defensive coordinator Todd Bowles also is to be interviewed for the vacancy.

After being wrapped in a Torah and declared a king, Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, apologized for the ceremony that many Jewish leaders found offensive.
A Youtube video of the Jan. 31 event shows Long being wrapped in a Torah and later lifted in a chair by four men who carry the bishop around the stage in front of a worshipping congregation.
"He is now raised up from a commoner to a kingship," said Rabbi Ralph Messer, who performed the ceremony. "He's raised from earth into a heavenly realm.
"He is a king," Messer said. "God's blessed. He's a humble man. But in him is kingship. In him is royalty."
In an apology to the Jewish community, Long said, "The ceremony was not my suggestion, nor was it my intent, to participate in any ritual that is offensive in any manner to the Jewish community or any group.
"Furthermore, I sincerely denounce any action that depicts me as a king, for I am merely just a servant of the Lord," Long said. "I apologize for any action on my part that may have caused damage to the Jewish faith."
Long said he understands that the ceremony caused harm to the Jewish community, but believes Messer had "good intentions."
Messer's website says he is the president and founder of Simchat Torah Beit Midrash, a congregation and school based in Colorado. He is described as an internationally acclaimed Bible teacher, conference speaker and Spirit-filled minister who teaches the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith.
Rabbi Joshua Heller, of Congregation B'nai Torah in Atlanta, described the ceremony as "a misuse and abuse" of the Torah.
"When I saw the video online, I was really disturbed," Heller said. "The way we are lifted by the Torah is by reading it and following its teaching, not by using it as a garment."
"There is nothing in the Jewish tradition where we would wrap someone in a Torah," Heller said. "There are cases in history where Jews were burned alive wrapped in a Torah, but clearly that is not anything someone would want to emulate."
Heller said Messer is "a self-declared rabbi."
"The title for him is something of a misnomer," Heller said. "He is not regarded as a rabbi by the vast majority of the Jewish community."
Heller said he was "really disturbed, offended, put off, confused" by the ceremony.
"What is portrayed is not really reflective of Judaism or Christianity," Heller said. "It is outside the bounds of both."
Heller said it is possible that the Torah used in Long's ceremony could be one of the "thousands of Torah scrolls that survived the Holocaust."
"Even if it were a Holocaust Torah, it is upsetting to see it used that way," Heller said. "I wouldn't want to take the ritual objects of another faith and use it in my worship."
Rabbi Michael Bernstein, of Congregation Gesher L'Torah in Alpharetta, said Long's ceremony "doesn't represent anything of the religion that I represent.
"I don't think that it represents Christianity either," Bernstein said.
People who understand the Jewish traditions "relate to the Torah and show a lot more respect than to use it for a ceremony that is self-aggrandizing," Bernstein said. "There isn't going to be anyone in the Jewish community …that sees the Torah as a symbol of coronation."
The Torah was "used as a prop in a ceremony that doesn't have connection with anyone's religion," Bernstein said. "I don't find that appropriate."
Rabbi Steven Lebow, a reformed rabbi in Cobb County, said that "wrapping Bishop Long in a Torah scroll is a cynical attempt to shore up his failed ministry.
"Bishop Long, by having himself declared king, has sunk to a new depth in the history of religious hypocrisy," Lebow said. "The guy exhibits an incredible sense of chutzpah. He is a legend in his own mind."
Messer could not be reached for this story, but New Birth released a statement from Messer, who said his message was about restoration and encouragement for Long.
"The presentation of the scroll of Torah was simply a way of bringing honor to a man who had given his life to the Lord and had given so much to his church, the Atlanta metro area and throughout the world," Messer said. "It was not to make Bishop Eddie L. Long a king."
Messer said lifting Long in the chair was a way to "acknowledge and honor him."
"It is done all the time at Jewish weddings and bar mitzvahs," Messer said.
Rabbi Joseph Prass, of Temple Emanu-El in Sandy Springs, said the lifting of the chair is never done during a worship service.
Messer's ceremony was an "awkward and odd blending of Jewish elements," and the incorporation of the Torah in the ceremony was an "inappropriate and made-up use," Prass said.
"Jews and people of faith take great strides to ensure that the Torah is not touched," Prass said. "To wrap someone in a Torah is to show disrespect. To wrap it around Bishop Long is just a careless and disrespectful treatment of a scroll."
Rabbi Fred Greene, of Temple Beth Tikvah, said the video "was not easy to watch."
"I find it to be really sad and quite offensive to use a sacred text…to repair his image," Greene said. "The whole act was disrespectful."
New Birth church members were "sold a phony bill of goods" by Messer, Greene said. "The leadership should know better."
