Michigan Democrats assailed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney Tuesday over remarks made at a fundraiser in which he said 47 percent of Americans are victims who pay no taxes and seek government assistance.
Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer, U.S. Rep. Sander Levin of Royal Oak, and 5th Congressional District candidate Dan Kildee held a conference call to take Romney to task.
Romney was secretly recorded at a May fundraiser in Boca Raton, Fla. The video was posted late Monday afternoon on the website of Mother Jones magazine.
"It's hard, if not impossible, to be president of all the people of this country when you write off half of them," Brewer said.
Said Levin: "I think the governor not only misspeaks, but he misbelieves and he misreads the people of Michigan and this country."
Kildee said Romney's remarks are dismissive of both soldiers and students.

"There's a couple of groups that don't pay taxes that are included in the 47 percent that Mitt Romney says he doesn't care about," Kildee said. "Military personnel serving in combat zones do not pay federal income taxes.
"The population of 47 percent that he refers to includes college students trying to put themselves through school," he said. "What he said is that those students who work hard, who take on a job, do all the things they need to to get themselves through college are unwilling to take personal responsibility for their lives."

Romney's Michigan campaign sent out a statement in response.
"In the Obama economy, American families have suffered from chronic unemployment, increased poverty and falling incomes," Romney spokesman Sean Fitzpatrick said. "At every turn, as the economic pain Americans feel increases, the president has proposed failed policies that have led to more and more government, and greater and greater debt. Mitt Romney's plan for a stronger middle class will create 12 million new jobs and move Americans off of government dependency and into greater prosperity."
Fitzpatrick also offered a statement from Romney in which Romney sought to take the fight back to President Obama with less than seven weeks until election day.
"The president believes in what I've described as a government-centered society, where government plays a larger and larger role, provides for more and more of the needs of individuals, and I happen to believe instead in a free enterprise, free individual society where people pursuing their dreams are able to employ one another, build enterprises, build the strongest economy in the world," Romney said. "I happen to believe that my approach is the approach that will put 23 million people back to work again.
"We've watched the results of the president's approach over the last three and a half, four years and his government-centric, larger and larger government approach has meant that we have 15 million more people on food stamps, 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work or underemployed," he said. "We've had 43 straight months with unemployment above 8 percent. And my view is that the right approach for our nation is not to adopt a government-centered approach, but instead a free, free people, free enterprise, free market, consumer-driven approach and that will build the strongest economy for ourselves and for the coming generations."

I just moved to Neosho, MO, and have an antenna about 30 feet up on my house pointed towards Joplin MO and Pittsburg KS with nearly 100% signal for about a week with no problems.
Now the signal is basically "all or nothing" with a full signal and rapidly going to zero then full again, on nearly all channels. I'm about 35 miles from the towers, and I have not split the cables to other tvs. I have an AP-8275 pre amp from my previous home, but it is not really needed here as I'm so close to the towers, so do not have it installed.
What might be giving me this "all or nothing" signal on all channels? With the signal being so good and working for a week plus, I don't think the problem is the antenna.
My 100 foot cable is not very old, and looks to be in good condition.
EDIT- Just to try, I also replaced the 100 ft cable last night, but the problem persists. I've tried with and without the ap-8275, and it still goes in and out... practically full signal to no signal and back again.

Aargauer Kunsthaus opens monographic exhibition featuring Swiss artist Roman Signer
Roman Signer, Gelbes Band, 1982. Super-8-Filmstill© Roman Signer.
The Aargauer Kunsthaus
kicks off the new year with a large one man exhibition of internationally renowned Swiss artist Roman Signer. The idea for this monographic exhibition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus arose from a desire to introduce a wider public to the artists photo series Street Views, which was acquired in 2011. The photographs of this series are juxtaposed with thirty-six projections of super 8 films that Roman Signer made between 1975 and 1989 to document actions, in most cases quite spectacular ones.
The exhibition stands out for the way in which the projections of the thirty-six super 8 films are orchestrated: following traditional ways of mounting pictures in museums, the projected films are shown side by side. In order to allow this expansive mode of presentation, almost all movable exhibition walls on the ground floor of the museums extension building were removed. The parallel arrangement of the projections in a single large exhibition gallery with over 600 m2 floor space provides visitors with an opportunity for a comprehensive and comparative viewing of Signers super 8 films.
Roman Signers actions the artist himself refers to them as events are ephemeral in nature, virtually demanding to be captured on film. Early on, before the video camera and before digital recording, the artist therefore started using super 8 technology. Among the most important documents that make his performative work accessible, the super 8 films encapsulate Signers early work. Although short and focused on the main events, the films do not simply cater to viewers media-conditioned curiosity for the moment of shock or surprise. Rather, the individual shots and subtle stagings emphasize the situational nature of the performative act. If the artist himself appears in a film as happens quite often - , he is shown not as a protagonist, but as a mere facilitator of the events conceived. Recorded without sound, the films convey only the visual aspect of the events, thus pointing to their potential as ephemeral sculptures. Ever since the 1970s, Signers artistic oeuvre has been informed by a concept of sculpture as process-like and de-materialized. Close collaboration with Roman Signer has resulted in an impressive array of film projections at the Aargauer Kunsthaus, in which the super 8 films transcend their documentary character, becoming works of art in their own right.
Constituting a counterpoint to the filmic works is the 47-part photo series Strassenbilder (Street Views), likewise shown on the ground floor. Being more self-contained, the galleries devoted to the Strassenbilder photographs reinforce the sense of compactness that characterises the presentation of the super 8 films. While taking up the scenographical approach of the film projections, the numerous photographs point to yet another aspect of Signers work: analytical observation and its presentation in a coherent sequence. The work Strassenbilder consists of two series of 23 and 24 photographs that each present familiar sights encountered when driving through rural regions of Eastern Europe: makeshift stalls selling fruit and vegetables on the one hand and memorials commemorating road casualties on the other. Signer took these serial images of similar subjects during travels through the Carpathians, the Ukraine and Romania. In both series, the needs of individuals either to market the produce from their own garden or to express the pain suffered through the loss of a loved one take on a physical shape. In spite of their unspectacular look and random nature, Signers photographs particularly in their serial form render these everyday arrangements as installations of high aesthetic quality.
In devoting an exhibition to Roman Signer, the Aargauer Kunsthaus honors a renowned Swiss artist, paying tribute to his work on a national level. The unexpected presentation of Signers super 8 films allows for a focused look at his performative work. At the same time, as a result of their juxtaposition with the photos series Strassenbilder, the super 8 films present themselves within the expanded framework of Roman Signers artistic oeuvre, opening up new levels of meaning and bringing home to the visiting public the status of the films as works of art in their own right, rather than mere documents of actions.
Following an apprenticeship as an architectural draughtsman, Roman Signer (b. in Appenzell in 1938) attended the Schule für Gestaltung (School of Design) in Zurich in 1966 and, from 1969 until 1971, the Schule für Gestaltung in Lucerne (School of Design), topping off his art education with a year abroad in Warsaw, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts. Since 1971, Roman Signer has been living and working as a freelance artist in St. Gallen. From 1974 until 1995 he taught at the Lucerne School of Design. Starting in 1972, Signer participated in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. Selected solo exhibitions in recent years: Roman Signer Acht Stühle (Ocho sillas), Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (SAPS), Mexico City, 2011; Roman Signer - Four Rooms, One Artist, Swiss Institute, New York, 2010; Roman Signer. Projections, Helmhaus Zurich, Zurich, 2008; Roman Signer - Reisefotos, Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau, 2006.

Benedikt Ruf is not one to waste quality footage, this edit is top notch and just shows how much ends up on the cutting room floor!
I got the opportunity to be a part of the "Suzuki Nine Knights 2012" during a "Wanna be a Knight - Filmmaker" Contest (Video-Dustride: vimeo.com/46845303). I met a lot of insane people and it was a pleasure for having me. After a awesome week I spread my footage to the other filmmakers who were engaged for the project. But after a week of filming you have more footage than you can us. We were so lucky with the weather that it would be really stupid to throw the nice footage away.

So we'll have to settle for the Amrita ($15, sample), a white blend that is a fine wine in its own right. It's mostly chardonnay and riesling (plus eight other grapes for good measure), and is fresh and lively and without the stilted, heavy fake oak that so many wines at this price use to compensate for poor quality fruit, to cover up a winemaking flaw, or to add oak flavor because they think it makes a more popular wine.
The Amrita, like the muller-thurgau, is a food wine with enough sweetness to pair with spicy food (look for a little citrus and apricot fruit), but not enough to offend people who think sweet wine means white zinfandel. In this, it would be a huge hit at Thanksgiving, what with turkey and cornbread dressing.

We learn that the Marilyn workshop will perform in front of an invited audience in one week. But before that, Ivy (Megan Hilty) is singing "Let Me Be Your Star" in front of her dresser mirror and her voice cracks. Eek!Meanwhile, Eileen (Anjelica Huston) is in a decidedly less sexy situation with Ralph, a Broadway producer she is trying to woo into financing Marilyn. We don't understand why he doesn't agree to come to the workshop. Also, there is something about Ralph that doesn't read "rich, powerful producer" to us, but then again, we don't know very many rich, powerful producers.At rehearsal, Derek (Jack Davenport) is angry that Julia (Debra ...
