first off i have too say that this battle report was not fair for my opponent. he told me his army list about 2 weeks before the game, so i tweaked some of my magic items and it ended up being way to over powerful. here are the lists.
His VC
Ghould King
Sword +3 attacks
2+ ward against flaming jewel
potion of strength
red fury
maybe something else
Vampire BSB
barded steed
hvy armour
red fury
flaming banner
Vampire LVL 2
lore of metal
barded steed
hvy armour
red fury
39 ghouls
20 zombies
std. mus
20 zombies
std mus
5 wolves
17 woves
6 blood knights
mus. std.
standard of blood keep? (4+ ward against shooting)
My WE list
alter kindred
ASF sword
helm of hunt
potion of strength
annoyance of nettlings
Dispell scroll
1+ despell dice
great eagle
2+ armour save
2+ ward against flaming attacks (fire gem?)
great eagle
LA, S, spear
helm of dragon? (10 points, 1+ to armour save, 2+ ward against flaming)
dawn stone
11 dryads
11 drayds
10 dryads
18 archers
mus. std.
5 scouts
Great eagle
so if you've been reading carefully you'll see that i got 2 hero's on GE with 2+ ward against flaming attacks. i was going to use both of them to tie up his 700 point blood knights with BSB.
we played the scenario where you cut the table at a 45 degree angle? know which one? anyways, i deployed first, then him, i was in a rush as i had to go home, so i rushed him a bit here too.
i deployed (from left to right) scouts in front of one unit of dryads, other dryads beside them in forest, both heros on GEs with archers behind (mage with archers) and my lord and treeman on the right flank.
he had (from my left to my right) 5 wolves, his blood knights with vampire, big unit of wolves with LVL vampire, zombies, zombies, ghouls with ghoul king.
Turn 1
VC turn:
he goes first, moves everything up (a little too cautiously i think). magic nothing.
WE turn:
i move up also cautiously. my great eagle moves behind one unit of zombies. i shoot almost everything at his large block of wolves and kill 5.
Turn 2
VC turn:
moves his LVL 2 vampire with blood knights (this was a mistake but he couldn't have known that at the time, he was trying to keep his vampire save from my archers). declares charge with wolves into my scouts, i flee, he fails to redirect so they're stuck there. again he moves up cautiously? i did not understand this but was happy as i was able to dictate the flow of the whole game.
WE turn:
i declare charges. this is where he was caught off guard. both my heros charge his blood knights. he's thinking i'm insane as they will get eaten alive, but he doesn't know i have 2+ ward against flaming attacks on both my heros. i declare a charge with my lord into his ghould king (i made a small mistake here) and so does treeman. dryads fail to make charge against 5 lone wolves way off alone.
my lord drinks potion of strength and i'm about to teach his vampire a lesson (he's been boasting about how his ghould king will kill anything before it even has a chance to attack) and accept swith his ghast!?!?!?!? i'm like why? he says he's worried cause i drank potion of strength. now i'm worried as PoS only lasts one phase! he instead kills my treeman with his ghould king (poor treeman didn't even get a chance to attack) and my lord cuts his ghast into ribbons (5 wounds). i lose, take a LD test on 7 but pass! he holds.
one hero declares a challenge against his BSB. he accepts. i attack, i think maybe inflict a wound, but not a big deal. he attacks back, is happy as a pig in $hit when he inflicts like 9 wounds, but then is shocked when he realises both have 2+ ward save against flaming attacks (which his whole unit has thanks to flaming banner on BSB). i save everything! i win by like 1 or 2, a couple more crumble. he is pi$$ed!!!
Turn 3
VC turn:
he tries to flank my heros with wolves but doesn't have charge arc. everything else shuffles up.
my heros continue to win by 1 crumbling another 50 point blood knight. no wounds back.
it gets interesting. i declare a challenge with lord, has to accept with ghould king. i get a bit lucky and inflict 2 wounds. he gets made when he realises he needs 6s to hit (annoyance of nettlings!). he only inflicts 2 back. MY LORD IS STILL ALIVE!!! take a LD test on 7, pass (whew). i got one more turn to kill him.
my heros continue to nibble away at his vampires and blood knights. he has like 2 left i think by this point.
WE turn:
position my dryads to cut off his zombies/wolves from reaching my glade gaurd. i made the best move of the game here (i think) by moving my LVL 3 closer to my lord. wasn't sure what i was going to do, but did it anyways.
magic phase, cast 3+ attacks and 3+ strength on my lord, he fluffs his dispell attempt!! my lord inflicts a monstrous 6 wounds on his ghould king! we go to my heros, i get lucky and finish off the rest of the blood knights and his 2 vampire heros! my dryads crash into his zombies, mauling them, my other dryads kill his large unit of wolves (easily) and my other dryads kill the last unit of wolves (easily). he has one strong unit of zombies left and a small dieing unit, with no characters left
he calls it here.
WE massacre!
I lost treeman and 1 drayd.
he basically lost his whole army.
i have to emphasise at this point that i did tool up my character specifically to fight his army. plus with the knowledge of what magic items he had, i definitely had an advantage. however, even with that said, this list has served me well and i did not completely revamp it for this game, thus proving WE can be competitive!
also, somewhere in there i rallied scouts and archers killed some woves/zombies. whatever . . .

Rob says they 'might recast' him in a sequel. Would you see a 'Twilight' movie without R-Patz?
Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella's (Kristen Stewart) epic love story may be timeless, but Rob says his career as Edward Cullen definitely has an expiration date. "I'd be curious what Stephenie [Meyer] would write," Rob said Feb. 17 at the Bel Ami photo call during the Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin. "I would think I'd be too old [for a sequel]. I'm already too old. It might be kind of interesting — they might recast me."
Yes, you read that right. Rob officially hung up his fangs when he finished filming Breaking Dawn, Part 2, which hits theaters this November. To be fair, if Stephenie did write a sequel, Rob would be significantly older by the time the book made its way to the big screen. You can't play a teenager forever!

As I've already said, it was running at 720p on and LCD (higher res than your plasma I might add) using component cables.
The games just didn't give me that WOW effect like the PS2 and Xbox did when they where realesed.
Good that you said 'demo' as well as that is exactly what it is.
After seeing it in action, I'm not going to run out and buy it straight away like I was originally planning to do but I will end up getting it.
You must be smoking something, games like project gotham racing 3, kameo, condemed, PDZ all look fantastic. Who cares if FN3 is a demo, it is a great demo that looks awesome and plays well too, definitely a must buy for the majority of people that have tried it. Don't use wow and ps2 in the same sentence, PS2's games look horrible for the most part, a jagged aliased mess. It has a lot of good games, but it also has a lot of horrid looking games, some of those being the good games. Apart from a handful of titles, PS2 underdelivered in a major way on a visual standpoint. I sold my PS2 about a year ago, and I'm quite glad with that decision as the original xbox was quite a bit better.
As for being biased, I just love games and gaming in general, and 360 delivers in a big way in my opinion. Launch titles are never going to be as amazing as those titles that come out after, because generally they are rushed to make the launch, and developers don't know the hardware inside out, but these launch titles are really quite fun and look fantastic. On top of this though you have the improved XBLA with fantstic arcade titles and great XBL functionality, not to mention the marketplace where you can download new game demo's and other items for 360. No, 360 is all that they've claimed it to be so far, it does deliver. You'll just be missing out, that is all.

A Cautionary Tale for All Women in My Vicinity
Maybe there is a reason. My therapist is taking a hiatus and I haven't seen her in over two years anyway so I don't get professional help anymore. Instead, I discuss things with the voices in my head and if there is a disagreement or confusion, I go to
The Google. Besides, I'm not sure how much that particular therapist can help me anymore. She was quite attractive and talked to me like a buddy at a bar. I found myself losing focus and instead of listening, I'd tilt my head with a crooked grin on my face and hope she would suddenly kneel down to give me a blowjob. The result of that mindset was that I extended those sessions an extra few weeks that I probably didn't need just because I am forever optimistic and I thought she might want to give me head.
I seem to have a lot of pent up energy. I've been putting unnecessary blue words in front of nouns a lot lately. "Anybody want a fucking coffee from next door? Those are nice goddamn shoes. Please hand me that cock-sucking pen. " I'm not saying these things with anger, but rather some sort of underlying antsy feeling.
And the running. It coincides with working out regularly again. Basketball, elliptical, some weights (I hate lifting more than running – those fucking weights are really heavy) and the running. Of course I am doing this to be healthier but also because I have to release this energy before I start cussing at the intern during idle conversation.
I didn't even need The Google to figure it out. The voices inside my head told me. Actually, both heads told me. The issue is that I need to get laid. It has been over two months now. Snow White and I broke up after our Mexico trip, so I know exactly when the last time I had some serious action was. We had to end our fairytale romance. With her living in the forest and me in a kingdom far far away combined with us both having dwarfs to take care of and our own stalls at the market, we simply couldn't keep going.
I'm one horny mofo. I really need to get laid because all this swearing and exercising is great, but not a good replacement for a little sumthin' sumthin'. The voices inside my head have all taken construction jobs, but they never work. They sit around making crude comments about every skirt that walks by. The wind blows and I have to carry a newspaper in front of my package. The Google seems to deliver nothing but porn (no idea how that keeps happening).
People say things and I turn it into something sexual. Somebody says, "Our special today is roasted chicken…" I think – choke this chicken, baby
"Can you come to a meeting this afternoon…" – all over your face
"We have a big problem..." – in my pants
I've even turned the simplest and most innocent things into something inappropriate.
"Is it okay if I bring the puppy I'm watching into the office…" – oh yeah, doggy style
It gets worse.
"I have to go to a funeral…" – I'll do your sister!
This is a serious problem. All the exercise, swearing and masturbation in the world isn't gonna solve this issue.
In the meantime, I gotta jet now. I'm going for a goddamn fucking run and I hope I don't stop to hump a cock-sucking tree.

:-) I LOLed. You are just all kinds of wrong.
I've written about my own dirty mind. I think what makes mine even more fun is the fact that I have the kind of face that, when men swear, many of them apologize to me -- even if there are other women in the room as well.
They have no idea...
PearlAmen for honesty,,, I am feeling your pain. Not literally, but almost. I am on hiatus as well, stupidly self-imposed, but I see that lasting all of about another 48 hours and then I may or may not hurt someone....in a very good way.... yum.... shit, what was I talking about? Oh, I forget, now I'm thinking about sex.... gotta go!
ReplyDelete@pearl: I'm glad we recognize the inner wrongness in each other you fucking nut.
@lickety: Your name is lickety. You know I can't get past that. Where are all these women in heels?
@mandy: Backed up! That is an awesome alternative title to this post.
@eva: Well, I just humped a tree. I guess a blowup doll could be good, especially if she will clean my home.
@randomgirl: Yes, please FEEL my pain.Dear Mother Mary and all the saints I am paralyzed with trepidation. This may be too much for me to think about seeing I know you personally and you vacation chez moi. I am slightly traumatized by any actions that may have been taken in my facilities. I actually avoided the master bath after reading this in fear of visuals. You poor sad and bloated sack. I thought about informing Santiago of your predicament but unfortunately I know he cannot relate. Love you kiddo.
ReplyDeleteYour therapist was just asking for it, talking to you like ya'll are in a bar.
But seriously, running does cut down on the horniness. It's been a whole week since I attempted to hump a tree. And that was because I was tired, not because of that policeman who caught me trying. With his six-year-old daughter in tow.Holy sheet this post was hilarious. Have you tried chewing ice or lifting cars? Stop counting the days since you last had it - that always helps.
I started running after a breakup and it actually really helped. And it stuck - I still do it today. Although I fear that your running might just turn into chasing and leg-humping...
When you're ready to sign up for online dating, let me know. I'll proofread your profile.@dawn: And that concludes today's lesson in Metaphor's Aren't Just for Breakfast Anymore. Thanks for your support.
@kimmie: Some people get to do Easter egg hunts in the spring. I gave you the gift of a spooge hunt.
@starkicker: I don't know how much longer I can get away with running and tree humping. Why is a six year old tagging along with her cop dad while rounding up tree humpers anyway?
@mel: You don't think humping trees will attract curious women?
@shrinky: You need a release too?Two months? Amature!!!
Love your casual swearing (HAHAHAH "Anybody want a fucking coffee from next door?"). I'm swearing like a cunt as well. I posted a recipe for cake the other day where i called mandarins "bastards", the cake a "prick", and my readers "bitches". Your theory would explain a lot.@vapid: What is holding me back? Kids? Work? Newly single? Wandering around with my fly down all the time? Hmmm. Pot luck time...
@robert: I do love Vegas. But I wouldn't know what to charge anyone to let them have sex with me.
@ladypants: Good god, are you backed up too? Seems like your blog always has boy stories in it. I'm not buying your shit or your fucking cake recipe!So you're saying all that swearing doesn't give you tongue cramps?
I think you should do some gardening. Much more satisfying than running, and if you're good at it - you will never find something more pleasurable than planting seed and watching them burst forth after all your hard work.
And if that doesn't work...lots and lots of Skittles.@periodically: That's why I want to go to a hoe down.
@bridgette: Would the four ordinary ones be at the exact same time? That is a lot of holes! Foiled by orange poppyseed muffins yet again.
@consciously: I like my special services to occur more organically. But if things get desperate, how much do you charge? Oh wait you don't mean you are offering, do you?@minxy: Calling all slutty friends...!
@periodically: Down on a hoe?
@jnufish: Nobody likes hockey do they? And hey, picking on the Cubs is like pushing around the nerdy weak kid on the playground! Shame on you!! Thanks for introducing the word skookum. All was not lost with your comment.
@goldengirl: Colorado is a great place to visit. ;)In much the same way I often wonder if painters like Frances Bacon, Van Gogh, or Jackson Pollock would have been as great as they were if they'd been regular Joes instead of bat shit crazy, I now find myself wondering if you'd be as funny if you started getting regular nookie again.
Talk about suffering for your art.

Rocky View opposed to changes to firefighter work regulations
Rocky View County plans to fight changes to the employment standards regulations for firefighters, approved by the Province on June 21.
The amendments, which will come into effect Sept. 1 pending approval by individual municipalities, allow for 24-hour shifts and makes changes to overtime laws.
The changes prohibit shifts from being scheduled in the 24-hour period immediately following completion of a 24-hour shift, meaning full-time, paid firefighters will work a maximum of two shifts per week before being paid overtime.
Previously, firefighters were able to work 12-hour shifts, which could be scheduled each day. Longer shifts required a special permit.
�This is a huge move backward in employment standards,� said Rocky View Councillor Greg Boehlke.
�This is a huge loss for every entity that employs firefighters in the province.�
Boehlke said the changes will decrease availability of firefighters, and that working 24-hour shifts poses a safety risk.
�Studies have shown that for every hour you work over an eight-hour shift, your capacities are impaired,� he said. �There is no way anyone can function after working for 24-hours straight. I am surprised that the provincial government would do this when studies have come out strongly against it. They know full well that it�s a safety issue above all else.�
According to Rocky View Fire Chief Ken McMullen, council has the final say whether or not to adopt the changes.
�Council will make the decision to contest or follow this. Whatever the County agrees to, we�ll follow,� he said. �We will work with our department and with council to make sure people are competent to do the job.�
Boehlke said council would only allow the changes if forced to do so by the Province.
�Council has made a strong stand against it. We don�t want to allow 24-hour shifts,� he said.
�If we get ordered that we have to allow 24-hour shifts, then we have no choice, but we will resist as hard as we can for as long as we can. Hopefully the government will come to their senses and repeal this. It�s absolutely foolish.�
In a letter to County Manager Rob Coon, Human Services Minister Doug Hancock said the ministry consulted with firefighters and municipalities across the province to determine the best option, noting that several communities currently already use 24-hour shifts.
�The amendments reflect current industry practice in the firefighting community,� stated the letter.
�For most fire services, the amendments will not lead to any significant operational changes.�
Hancock said fairness and safety were the primary focus, and the ministry will continue to monitor the use of long shifts and study their effects on employee safety.
�We have assessed the information available and listened carefully to the concerns raised by stakeholders with respect to the use of long shifts,� penned Hancock.
�The regulation amendments are intended to establish reasonable standards for firefighters around hours of work and overtime, and ensure appropriate rest periods are available for those who work long shifts.
�We believe the mandatory rest provisions will provide firefighters with the rest they need following long shifts.�
McMullen said his main issue is how the changes will impact availability, especially when it comes to training.
�The reality is that with a composite department, 24-hour shifts make it more problematic to operate,� said McMullen.
�To have people come to work on a regular basis is important. Everything that we do in terms of training now can�t happen on a continuous basis.
�It puts more constraint on how we train and changes the balance of availability.�
In order to run a 40-hour training course, McMullen said Rocky View County Fire Services will have to flip shifts and change training officers� hours to train at night.
�It�s not impossible, just more difficult,� he said. �We will have to find more creative ways to have those people trained.�

School Profiles
The 1960s and 1970s saw a rise in the development of distance- learning MBA programs as an alternative to the traditional MBA. In the United States, the cost of traditional resident education was rapidly growing and American society was becoming more and more mobile. Another important factor of distance-learning development was the early success of Britain's Open University. Since then, public acceptance of distance MBA degrees has increased steadily. A sharp increase in the number of well-established and recognized MBA schools offering distance MBA degrees has led to greater public acceptance. Distance learning offers a certain number of advantages and develops a particular set of important skills in short, it allows for greater explanatory and cognitive learning as compared to traditional face-to face learning, which in turn heightens and improves "social and procedural learning".
Two modes:
Candidates considering an online MBA know that these programmes fall into two broad and overlapping categories: a virtual format based almost exclusively on online communication, and a blended version where students in the same class are expected to come together to...
Three years or longer
No geographical constraints
5,000 to 40,000 euros
A Bachelor's degree, essays, TOEFL and at least three years of work experience.
Employers are more willing to pay for the distance learning MBA than for any other MBA programme.
- Various study materials: course books, a study guide, CD-ROMs, videotapes, audiotapes and website access.
- Online lectures delivered by video conference, which allow live interaction between students and the lecturer.
Most students are sponsored by their company. After graduating one is likely to stay with the company, which can lead to a limited access of career services.

Q&A: Alcohol — deterrence and enforcement
Q&A: Alcohol — administrative license suspension
May 2013
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have per se laws defining it as a crime to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above a specified level, currently 0.08 percent (0.08 g alcohol per 100 ml blood).
License suspension or revocation traditionally follows conviction for alcohol-impaired driving. Licenses can also be taken before conviction, under a procedure called administrative license suspension, when a driver fails or refuses to take a chemical test. Because administrative license suspension occurs immediately, it has been found to be more effective than post-conviction sanctions. Administrative license suspension is allowed in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
In many states driving privileges can be restored during a suspension, but drivers usually must demonstrate special hardship, and the restored privileges often come with limitations. For example, a person could be allowed only to drive to work or could be required to install an ignition interlock.
An interlock device is a breath-testing unit that a driver must blow into before starting a vehicle. The device disables the ignition if alcohol is detected. All states have laws either requiring interlocks for certain offenders or allowing courts to order interlocks at their discretion. In 19 states and four California counties, all alcohol-impaired driving offenders, including first-time offenders, must install interlocks to resume driving. An additional 12 states require interlocks for offenders with high BACs (usually 0.15 percent or higher) and for repeat offenders, ten states require them only for repeat offenders, and two states only for high-BAC offenders. Seven states and D.C. have no mandatory interlock requirements.
1Drivers usually must demonstrate special hardship to justify restoring privileges during suspension, and then privileges often are restricted.
2All offender pilot program in 4 counties - Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Tulare.
3Interlock is mandatory unless waived due to financial hardship.
4In New York, administrative license suspension lasts until prosecution is complete.
5In Texas, an interlock is mandatory for first offense high-BAC as a condition of suspending the jail sentence.

Renewed efforts by the National Assembly to review the 1999 Constitution may gulp a whopping N6billion, LEADERSHIP SUNDAY checks can reveal.
Key among the over 42 items listed for overhaul by the Parliament, it was learnt are the controversial six-year single tenure as proposed by The Presidency, rotational presidency and the creation of more states.
Though an official budget of N1 billion was released for the 2010 review of the organic document, LEADERSHIP SUNDAY gathered that more than N3billion was spent on the exercise.
A Deputy Director in the office of the Clerk of the National Assembly, who sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, also told LEADERSHIP ON SUNDAY that, "I cannot really say how much will be required for this new exercise, but we can not expect anything less than double the amount that was used in the last exercise, because the items required for review now are more".
"Take the issue of state creation, you have to go to all the states in the Federation to get their nod on each state, and all that can consume a lot of money and time".
But another top bureaucrat however, warned that the exercise might take "the entire four years of this administration or the tenure of this National Assembly".
A senior bureaucrat at the National Assembly and one of the clerks of the 2010 constitution review exercise also informed our correspondent that, "Though it was officially announced that each of the arms of the National Assembly will spend N500million each, it was later discovered that the money was not enough and we ended up spending over
He said, "You know better than I do that, the JCCR idea was later abandoned, each chamber House of the National Assembly decided to carry out the exercise on their own. That also upped the initial budget, because the ad hoc staff and lawmakers that would have been involved in the exercise were increased". It would be recalled that either chamber of the National Assmbly was regenerated by 44 members.
Though section 9(1) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, says, "The National Assembly may subject to the provisions of this section, alter any of this Constitution", the National Assembly bureaucracy however, controls the budget for the function.
The most contentious on the tentative list of items for review when the two chambers resume, remains the six-year single tenure proposal by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, Mr. Ishaaku Bawa, in an earlier interview with LEADERSHIP SUNDAY, described the six-year single tenure proposal by The Presidency as distractive and retrogressive.
But the proposal has continued to attract criticisms due its timing and desirability. A former Military President General, Ibrahim Babangida, has even described it as a "stupid idea".
Though Jonathan had said that the proposal was not his idea alone, he later said the issue would be taken to the National Assembly as soon as it resumes in September.
But a principal Officer of the Lower Chamber, Mr. Bawa, in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP SUNDAY was piqued that The Presidency will be distracting the attention of the National Assembly and Nigerians in particular with such an unnecessary idea.
"But at this time, I am of cthe opinion that it is not what we are supposed to focus on. As we are resuming after the Ramadan break to continue our representation of the people, we must be focused on more serious issues. We need to look at the infrastructural decay in the country. The problem of this country is not tenure-based. It is a problem of infrastructure.
"We cannot ignore the continuous degeneration of our infrastructure and concentrate on the unnecessary and contentious issue of tenure. Everything is collapsing in Nigeria. If you look at the industries we had in this country in the 70s and 80s, they are nowhere to be found today. Whether in Lagos, Kano, Ibadan and other cities in Nigeria that had functional industries, you will be depressed", he said.
Despite his caution, the lawmaker advised that as representatives of the people, whatever the the House would grant what people wanted.
"Well, I think a single-term proposal by the Presidency is an offer to the people of Nigeria. If the people of Nigeria accept the single tenure through a constitution amendment, so it will be. If Nigerians decide that they want to migrate from two terms of four years to a single term of six years, then we would look at it," he added.

Alexis de Tocqueville described America as the most magnificent habitation ever prepared by God for man. He did not exaggerate. Taking advantage of those resources, America has produced the most vibrant economy in history. No other country has the combination of bountiful natural resources, an educated and adaptive work force, numerous colleges and research institutions, a technologically advanced public, a history of innovation, free institutions, and the political stability that we enjoy.
As the richest nation and the only super power in the world, America should have balanced budgets, a surplus in the treasury, and properly funded entitlements. With sensible and courageous leadership in Washington, the country would have all three. But, instead, America has the largest national debt ever accumulated in history, an annual budget deficit of a billion dollars a year, and enormous unfunded entitlement liabilities.
Outside of Washington everyone knows that the current policies cannot be sustained and that drastic changes are needed. It should be apparent to all that the federal government, which has grown larger in recent years, is bloated and inefficient. The enormously complex federal tax code satisfies no one and should be simplified and reformed. The conditions demand austerity in Washington, but life goes on as if there is no problem.
In more than four years, the president has yet to pass a budget, eliminate a wasteful program, address the obvious need to reform Social Security before it goes bankrupt, or reform the tax code. Instead, he states that we do not have a spending problem. And to prove it, he has recently proposed yet another federal entitlement — pre-school education — even though no money is available to pay for it. In addressing the nation's fiscal problems, he says he wants a balanced, fair approach, but when the Simpson-Bowles plan provided that approach, he ignored it.
To restore our fiscal system to health will require major surgery, including much pain and suffering by the American people. But thus far, both parties have offered only band-aids, and no one is talking about sacrificing now for improvements later. Rather than address the obvious fiscal problems by slashing salaries and eliminating departments and non-essential government programs, the president tours the country claiming that cutting 2.2 percent of the federal budget will have dire consequences. Of course the cuts he has chosen will have unfortunate consequences because he chose them to create maximum disruption.
To argue that every dollar in the federal budget is so essential that nothing can be cut is beyond absurd. The miniscule 2.2 percent cut could be accomplished without releasing any personnel, as Rand Paul has shown, by not replacing federal employees who retire, cutting travel budgets, and making federal salaries comparable to the private sector. And, even before any reductions have taken place, Obama has released hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals for lack of funding. Why not wait to see what funding is available or transport the criminals back to their native country instead of freeing them to prey on the American public?
Many commentators have observed similarities between America's current conditions and the fall of Rome. Such comparisons have much validity, but 18th century France provides a better historical comparison. France was then the great power of Europe, and it had dominated Europe culturally for many years. In 1789, France — like America today — was a rich society with an impoverished government. Also like America, the upper class in the old regime of France received a disproportionate share of the nation's wealth and the masses suffered.
The government of Louis XVI spent lavishly, as had his predecessors. Numerous finance ministers pointed out that the government had to balance its budget either by reducing expenses or increasing revenues. The only way to increase revenues was to tax the nobles. Lacking the courage to confront the powerful nobles or the desire to alter his profligate life style, the king did neither. He drifted along as long as he could. Finally, when the moneyed interests refused to lend the French government any more money, the whole system collapsed, inaugurating the French Revolution of 1789. Violence and chaos ensued, and the leaders, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, lost their heads in the Reign of Terror.
Already heavily in debt, the French budget in 1788, just before the collapse, had expenses of 629,000,000 livres and expected revenues of only 503,000,000 livres. Obama's government is now spending roughly 35 percent more than it receives, a far greater deficit than France had when its government collapsed.
What will happen when inflation arrives and interest rates rise? How will the government be able to function? Soon a treasurer secretary will say to Obama what Calonne said to Louis XVI before the deluge: "Sire, in its present state, the country is impossible to govern."

Just a casual observation as noted on several blog posts of late.If you have tweet arguments (is that a real term or did I just make it up?) they can come back to bite you. There are other examples we could share here, but don't want to stir up crazy people from past tweet discussions that seemed to drag on beyond it's life span.
One recent example of that is right here below. Or you can go to the site to see the original post here:
WhizTechCafe's social media missby ericasmithA spat between a local business and one of its residential neighbors turns ugly.
" | It sounds like there is some sort of party under my window, what the hell @WhizTechCafe, this is why no one who lives here likes you. | ||
" | @TabithaKMeyer @WhizTechCafe rent space from time to time.. If u don't like it or us were not mad it's about business at the end of the day | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe understandable that you rent space. But if you're going to be a coffee shop otherwise, be open during coffee shop hours. | ||
Then it started to take a turn for the worse:
" | @TabithaKMeyer Its called part of downtown living maybe you should consider suburban living or get a loft that is not on the 2nd floor | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe Thank you, I'll take your advice into consideration. Have a fantastic day! | ||
But others already had picked up on the public conversation:
" | @WhizTechCafe Swing and a miss! Come on guys, can't talk w/ customers like that. At least, it's a bad idea. cc: @TabithaKMeyer @michaeltomko | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe if you're going to call out a customer ( @TabithaKMeyer ) at least use proper punctuation even if you can't be a good neighbor | ||
" | Wow, @WhizTechCafe, I think you picked the wrong person to aggravate. cc: @TabithaKMeyer @rizzotees @michaeltomko | ||
" | @therebirth @WhizTechCafe @TabithaKMeyer @michaeltomko Yes, Tabitha is not to be played | ||
" | @therebirth @WhizTechCafe @TabithaKMeyer @michaeltomko And btw, the wrong person to aggravate is…… your next customer. #justsayin | ||
Again, that could've been the end of it. But it wasn't:
" | @RizzoTees @michaeltomko talk like what?? @TabithaKMeyer has some sort of personal issue with @WhizTechCafe our REAL customers are all :-) | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe how many people were real customers before they got bad customer service from you ? @RizzoTees @TabithaKMeyer @michaeltomko | ||
" | @PTtheIslander lol punctuation this is twitter @WhizTechCafe offer 10% discount to printer lofts we r good neighbors but we cant pls every 1 | ||
" | @PTtheIslander @WhizTechCafe have been open almost 1 yr I have never seen @TabithaKMeyer you have to visit to get bad customer service | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe nope, you don't. This is an extension of your business. And please learn have vs had. Cc @TabithaKMeyer | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer With respect, telling someone to move to the county. Just an odd tweet from a business | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer Unless you're a real estate agent, that's just a weird msg to send. | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer Again, with respect, you have customers that have expressed confusion at multitude of changes | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer changing hours, etc. I don't make it downtown much anymore, but downtown residents feel this way | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer If your message to them is, "Just move, you're not a REAL customer," then we're clear. | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer I sense you guys are trying hard and want to stick it out, and I've had good food there | ||
" | @whiztechcafe @michaeltomko @TabithaKMeyer But respectfully, & last thing I'll say, this entire Twitter conversation should not be happening | ||
That last tweet, by the way, is the moral of this story. But I'll go ahead and let it play out.
" | @TabithaKMeyer @pttheislander stay out of this?? WOW!! You are the one who started this if there was a problem our number is listed 241-whiz | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe @pttheislander Ok, I was trying to stay out of this. But now you're lying. I ate a Cobb salad there last week! Never seen me? | ||
" | Is the customer always right? Appears that @WhizTechCafe and @TabithaKMeyer have a difference of opinion. #twitterspat #meantweets | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe And you could have DM'd me rather than starting a visible argument. | ||
" | @TabithaKMeyer WHO DO U THINK U R?? YOU STARTED WITH THAT IS Y NO ONE LIKES U N THE BUILDING SO DO NOT TELL ME WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE!! | ||
About 30 minutes after this story was published and shared, Whiz Tech Cafe deleted all of its tweets related to this conversation.
" | @WhizTechCafe nice strategy to delete all your tweets. Good thing it's been given the @storify treatment | ||
" | @PTtheIslander deleted = non-factor @WhizTechCafe | ||
" | @WhizTechCafe Wow. If you think that, you understand social media even less than you let on. | ||
By then, this story was trending in St. Louis.

Hodgson grabbed a first-half try, added the conversion and landed seven penalties from eight attempts in Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter at the Kassam Stadium.
Despite soaking up Saracens pressure for most of the match, Welsh had Sarries hanging on at the end after producing two breakaway tries from Canada wing Phil MacKenzie and full-back Tom Arscott.
Henson's boot contributed their other 13 points as they collected a losing bonus point.
The 30-year-old double Grand Slam-winning Welshman's first Premiership appearance for the newly-promoted Exiles had been delayed after he fractured his cheekbone in a pre-season match against former club Scarlets.
But Henson, called up in place of former Scotland international Gordon Ross, made his mark with an assured performance for Welsh.
They were dealt an early blow when lock Matt Corker was yellow-carded in the fourth minute as their pack desperately tried to disrupt a series of forward drives by Saracens.
But, three minutes later, they broke out of defence to take the lead, totally against the run of the early play.
Just inside the opposing half, MacKenzie kicked a loose ball deep into Saracens territory and won the race to collect and cross the line, leaving Henson a simple first conversion for his new club.
The fly-half attempted to capitalise with a penalty kick from inside his own half but his effort fell just short.
Welsh were conceding a serious number of penalties and Hodgson, after striking the post from 50 metres in the 10th minute, pulled back three points with a straightforward kick from the 22-metre line five minutes later.
The almost constant pressure of the visitors finally forced the hard-pressed Welsh defence to crack in the 18th minute when Hodgson took a short pass from scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth, stepped inside and raced over between the posts before adding the conversion.
Hodgson stretched the lead with a penalty from 48 metres but, within two minutes, Henson cancelled it out when Sarries strayed offside 40 metres from their posts.
But Hodgson struck two more penalties before half-time, with Henson pulling another back to restrict the visitors to a 19-13 lead at the interval.
Another burst through the Welsh defence by Hodgson should have resulted in a second try for Saracens but Andy Saull let the ball slip from his grasp as he stretched for the line.
Two more penalties from Hodgson increased Saracens' lead to 25-13 before Henson kicked his third penalty in the 60th minute.
But Welsh never gave up and they scored a second try when left-wing Nick Scott made a superb break from the halfway line before passing inside to full-back Arscott, who raced clear of the Saracens defence, cut inside and touched down behind the posts to leave Henson a simple conversion.
Hodgson landed his seventh penalty four minutes from time but it was not enough to deny the Exiles the hard-fought consolation point they deserved for their never-say-die efforts.
They finished the match driving the Saracens pack back towards their own line to force a penalty.
They elected to pack down and scrum-half Tyson Keats tried a burst down the short side but was dragged down just short of the line.
Saracens were forced to defend desperately but, despite conceding three penalties, they survived a series of late drives by the home forwards to hang on to their lead.

Tools and Materials
- Cotton or linen napkins, starched
Bunny Fold for Napkins How-To
1. Fold starched napkin into thirds to form a rectangle. (If you're using a square napkin, you'll need to fold in half, and then fold in half again to get a long rectangular shape.)
2. Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold top corners down along this line.
3. Fold up from bottom corners along dotted lines.
4. Bring left and right edges together on center line.
5. Flip upside down and over. Turn up bottom point.
6. To fasten: Fold left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up base.

It is, to my mind, only a slight exaggeration to say that the best thing about the onset of cool weather is that it lets us wear flannel once again. My favorite suits are of the stuff. It is soft and warm-wearing, because its nap traps pockets of air against the skin.
The classic flannel is the gray chalk stripe like the one on the man in the Esquire illustration. The weave gives it a somewhat casual air, making it not quite formal enough for serious business. And that is of course also a good thing, for few men should look serious every day.
Two lengths of flannel sit on the ledge behind my desk, waiting to be turned into wearable art. One is the years in the making Eden in Paris from the London Lounge Cloth Club, a subtle blue and white check on gray in a 15/450 gram ounce weight. The other is a lovely 13 ounce/400 gram glen check, also in gray. Each will become a single breasted, to be worn with a white cashmere waistcoat.
I do love flannel.

In Praise of Flannel
7 comments:
- initials CG said...
This post could not have come at a more inopportune time...the economic crisis has agitated my tailor whose children I have supported since I became his devoted client...I have thought about nothing but flannel for the past two months.
Mine will be a solid blue flannel, single breasted with a vest and two pairs of trousers. One with outward pleats and the other with inward facing pleats specifically made for braces/suspenders. I hope to have it with a touch of cashmere within the weave to give it a slight softened hand. If I could only find the right hue of blue... - September 21, 2009 at 12:54:00 PM PDT

Double breasted shawl, yes.

Will, you have stirred the pot. I ordered a gray with chalk stripe, DB 4X1 inspired by your recent post, with single pleat and cuffed and Daks waist trousers.

Just a post request here - I'm a young guy that's trying to build a wardrobe to last. I'm finishing law school, so my uniform will be suits daily - I prefer to be the best dressed in the office.
So I'm looking for some advice on the basics to know when replacing cheap of-the-rack suits with newly discovered custom clothing. Pleats or not, and if so, what type. When to cuff, and when not to. Shoe choices, etc. Subtle choices to add some custom flare. Do's and Don'ts (to button or unbutton the cuffs, etc.)
Maybe a good introduction to the newly introduced. Great blog. I look forward to every post. - September 21, 2009 at 9:43:00 PM PDT
- JC said...
For a starter, consider Will's posts of Nov 27, 2006, Feb 7, 2008, and Aug 12, 2009. These will help with foundational information. Beyond tis foundation, many of the specific details you ask about are scattered throughout ASW. - September 21, 2009 at 10:19:00 PM PDT
- Horatio said...
Being the "best dressed"--an admirable goal--should not be confused with "most noticeable." For most of us, "best dressed" means avoiding affectations, like unbuttoning one button of your jacket's working sleeve buttons. Also, to make a good impression on your boss and coworkers, start by dressing well but discreetly. Once you have built a good reputation, it's easier to dress with more flair.
Keep reading ASW, read its archives, and find one or two other men's style (not fashion!) blogs for more guidance. You should also talk to some established lawyers for advice. If you're lucky, you will find mentors whose wisdom will take you far. - September 22, 2009 at 4:46:00 PM PDT

Museums & Galleries in Flagstaff
Recommended Museums & Galleries by Groupon Customers
In 1906, after studying disruptions in the orbit of Uranus, Percival Lowell began to suspect the existence of a planet beyond Neptune. He referred to it as Planet X, and he scanned the night sky from his Flagstaff observatory until his death in 1916. More than two decades passed after the initial conjecture before Lowell astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh sat down in the very same observatory and confirmed the existence of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Though Lowell and Tombaugh's planet was kicked out of the solar club in 2006, their discovery led to several decades of essential research at Lowell Observatory. The observatory's astronomers have since discovered evidence of the expanding universe and have also provided exhaustive measurements of the motions and basic properties of stars. In 2012, the nonprofit observatory became home to the Discovery Channel Telescope—the fifth largest telescope in the continental United States and currently the only one capable of observing the astronauts stranded on Neptune.

Despite a slow economy, Hudson County towns saw a number of new businesses and even new shopping areas in 2010, from a mall in Bayonne to major chain stores in North Bergen. Restaurants, companies and supermarkets dotted the landscape.
The Hudson County Economic Development Corporation's 2010 Demographic Profile projects that from 2004 to 2014, the number of local accommodation and food services jobs will increase more than 26 percent.
Yet some are concerned about Gov. Christopher Christie's deliberation over continuing the state's Urban Enterprise Zone program, which allows cities to charge half of the usual 7 percent state sales tax to attract shoppers, and allows that money to go back into the district to hire police and make other capital improvements.
Here are some of the business highlights from the past year.
North Bergen/Guttenberg
North Bergen, with its industrial corridor along Tonnelle Plaza, saw several new chain stores and companies this year.
In November, Burlington Coat Factory opened a new store, their first one in North Bergen, at the Tonnelle Plaza Shopping Center. In January, Walmart unveiled a 217,240 square foot store at 88th Street and Tonnelle Avenue. The store is open 24 hours a day and features more than 30 merchandise departments, a photo processing center, a drive-through pharmacy and garden center, and North Jersey's first Walmart grocery, which includes a bakery, deli, and fresh produce.
Last month, a new Sonic Drive-In restaurant opened in that town. One also opened at the Bayonne Crossing Mall on Route 440.
On a down note, the Pathmark supermarket located at 69th Street and Tonnelle Avenue closed at the end of October.
Weehawken, Union City, West New York
Earlier this year, King of Wings and Pizza opened on Willow Avenue near an entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, by Bayonne residents Waleed Awad and Raafat Tawfik.
"My heart is here, but I couldn't justify it monetarily." – Sandra Bendor, owner of the recently closed ArtsEcho shop in Union City
Further up on Park Avenue, this time in Union City, the ArtsEcho Galleria was expected to close by the end of the year. It was part gallery and part fashion boutique as well as part of an up-and-coming North Hudson art scene. According to Sandra Bendor, shop owner and executive director of ArtsEcho, "My heart is here, but I couldn't justify it monetarily."
The Walmart in Secaucus reopened with an expanded store in June. It was an 18-month remodeling project that added 32,000 square feet to the existing Walmart retail store at 400 Park Place. The renovated space - now 199,000 square feet - includes a complete grocery department, wider aisles, low-profile shelving, a new interior paint scheme, enhanced lighting, and improved signage.
The D'Agostino food store chain has taken an interest in a 15,000 to 20,000 square foot retail space at Xchange, near the Secaucus Junction train station, with supermarket officials visiting the site in the summer. Currently, the company is putting together architecture plans for a grocery store at the development.
More significantly, Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli is looking at bringing more business by developing the center of town, known as the Plaza, as it currently embarks on a beautification plan for the area. At the end of the year, Gonnelli met with business owners to find ways to lure more customers to the downtown area.
Hoboken is considering redevelopment proposals for formerly industrial areas near the town's borders, and several of them include a commercial development.
The proposed Northern End redevelopment site is one of them. The Rockefeller Company, the owners of Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, have been purchasing buildings between 14th and 17th streets from Grand Street to Park Avenue. Original plans called for office towers up to 40 stories tall. Currently, the area uptown is zoned industrial and caps development to two story buildings.
A bit of history returned to Hoboken when the Clam Broth House – the legendary Hoboken restaurant on Newark Street that dates back to the early 1900s – reopened in June after being closed for seven years. New owners and a new management team operate the eatery, with plans for a grand opening in the spring.
Among restaurants that came on the scene was The Wicked Wolf, opening in September on Sinatra Drive. It is a combination sports bar/restaurant.
Lepore's Homemade Chocolate, which has been in business for 30 years, relocated to 105 Fourth St. in November from its old location on Garden Street.
On the downside, the Barnes and Noble bookstore on Washington Street in Hoboken closed in March, part of a trend in recent years of bookstores closing in Hudson County that included Unique Books on Broadway in Bayonne in October.
Jersey City
Jersey City, which has developed into a financial center of its own and earning the moniker of "Wall Street West," continues to benefit from companies deciding to leave Manhattan.
Intrasphere Technologies Inc. a life sciences consulting firm, relocated to Jersey City's Harborside Plaza 10 building in July when its lease expired in New York City at the end of June. Princeton Information Ltd., an IT consulting firm, began shifting employees from New York City to its new headquarters at Jersey City's Harborside Terminal starting in January, and completed the move in May.
Moving closer into the city, several restaurants opened this year, offering a variety of cuisine. For those with a taste for Korean-style fried chicken, the fourth Bon Chon Chicken restaurant to open in the state did so on Newark Avenue in Jersey City in October. The Hamilton Inn on Jersey Avenue near Hamilton Park and the Holland Tunnel made its grand entrance in April due to the efforts of Hoboken restaurateur Michael Gondevas. And Teppan is the Japanese word for "iron plate" and also the name of the new hibachi spot on Warren Street in downtown Jersey City, not far from the PATH Grove Street stop. It had its grand opening in May.
In the entertainment sector, Pole Position Raceway (P2R), a new 80,000 square-foot entertainment facility, opened in December near Liberty State Park in Jersey City, helping the public get better acquainted with kart racing, a sport popular in the U.S. as well as countries like Australia and France.
Jersey City also looked at new ways to put small businesses more in the spotlight. In November, one week (Nov. 15-21) was devoted to the fledging entrepreneur with "Make My City" initiative, a movement challenging Jersey City residents to shop exclusively at local, independent businesses for a full week, and Global Entrepreneurship Week in Jersey City to acknowledge local enterprise in a tough economy with host of events featuring a variety of local businesses, and government and community leaders.
The new Bayonne Crossing Mall, after more five years of planning and development, is now a reality. The Sonic Drive-In restaurant opened in December as the mall's first store.
Two Sonic Drive-Ins opened in the county this winter.
But Bayonne commercial development did suffer a bit of a setback when Gov. Christopher Christie in July put a halt to a proposed off-track wagering facility on a 6-acre tract on Route 440 North in Bayonne, just off the East Fifth Street exit. He continues to study how to revive New Jersey's money-losing horseracing industry.

Xanadu making a comeback
Xanadu gained fame originally as the Chinese province where the Mongol emperor Kubla Khan had his garden, was namedropped in a poem by English writer Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and was the title of a cool Olivia Newton song and the lame 1980 movie that it was featured in.
But mention Xanadu now, and it is known as the $2.3 billion retail/sports/entertainment complex on Route 3 in East Rutherford that didn't know when to die.
A consortium of five lenders announced in August that it had taken financial control of Xanadu from Colony Capital, a private equity firm that had been developing the project for several years. The controversial project, whose original plans included a 287-foot Ferris wheel, an aquarium, an indoor snow dome for skiing, two skydiving tunnels, movie theaters, and up to 200 stores packed into its 2.3 million square feet of retail space, collapsed in 2009 after a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers and one of Xanadu's financial backers went bankrupt.
In the meantime, a panel put together by Gov. Christopher Christie to study the state's gaming and entertainment industry is currently advising the governor on four potential developers vying to build out the complex. - RK
