Debonair Flair in Men's Casual Shirts
Shirts have always had the air of superiority and have generally been associated with rigidity and formality. But now, they have transcended to take over the easy styles of dressing as well. A little more freedom with the cuts and shapes and with a little bit of colour and prints thrown on, mens casual shirts have the uncanny ability to look classy and edgy at the same time.
With the shifting paradigm in fashion and wearability of clothes, they have become prevalent at the workplace, parties, evenings out and various other events and functions. It can be a slightly difficult task picking a one that can double up for multiple occasions and you may require different styles for each season. Collared work shirts are perfect for the business look while light materials make brilliant summer men's casual shirts.
A laidback dress shirt combined with a thin pullover or sweater can look very suave and stylish with the right colour combinations and appropriate pants. Casual shirts are great when paired with blazers as bold prints can be conveniently hidden at work and when day turns to night, one can remove the sweater to reveal a great look for a night out.
Men's Casual Shirts from Zalora.sg – Versatility and Classic Charm
Zalora's collection begins with classic designs like checked and striped shirts from Weathered. Pair them with jeans or chinos. The Academy Brand aims for a younger target audience with plaid and checkered shirts with cooler cuts. Try interesting prints, patterns and switch things up with a combination of colours on the same shirt -- look up Korean Selection and their ever-eclectic style. For a very manly informal look that goes great with cargo pants, jeans or in the outdoors try Deacon instead.
Whatever your style, the beauty of online shopping at Zalora brings you the ability to make your choices in clothes with complete ease. Check out Zalora.sg to buy a few mens casual shirts to get that clean classy look all men want.

Easy-to-install adapter bracket fits all common front-mount playground backboards with 5" x 5" hole pattern. Remove or insert goal from the ground using special telescoping pole, or lock with a padlock, not included. Kit includes goal, nylon net, bracket, and pole. Bracket and Pole Set also sold separately.
The type of backboard you have determines whether you need a rear-mount or a front-mount goal. |
Rear Mount | |
For 54"W x 35"H rear-mount steel fan-shaped backboards only. Common in noncompetitive play, side courts, and outdoors. |
Front-Mount | |
For all front-mount backboard types, indoors or out. |
Stationary | |
Primarily for noncompetitive play. Stationary rims (often called "fixed" rims) attach directly to the backboard and do not release when pressure is applied. A good choice for younger players who don't have the size or jumping ability to reach the goal. |
Breakaway | |
For main-court backboards and competitive play. Spring-loaded so they bend at an angle (from front to back) when pressure is applied, relieving pressure on the backboard. Positive lock goals have a mechanism to adjust the amount of force required for release. Flex rims do not include this mechanism, so there is no force threshold. |
Single Rim | |
Good quality, often cost effective. The only chioce for indoor competitive play. |
Double Rim | |
Stronger than single rim. For any backboard. Use when player-goal contact is likely and especially for outdoor play. |

Deep in the Costa Rican jungle, a fisherman named Chito discovered a crocodile that had been shot in the eye by a cattle farmer and left for dead. Chito was able to drag the massive reptile into his boat and brought him to his home, where he stayed by his side for months, nursing him back to health.
He named the croc Pocho. "I stayed by Pocho's side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad." said Chito, ""It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals – especially ones that have suffered."
The day finally came when Pocho was strong enough to go back into the wild. Chito took him to a lake near his house and released him, but the animal simply got back out of the water and followed him home.
"Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me." says Chito. The fisherman has been hesitant to tell his story, even though 20 years have passed since he first rescued Pocho.
Pocho is roughly 5.18 meters (17 feet) long. He and Chito play, wrestle and hug on a daily basis. That bond, Chito said, took years to forge.
"After a decade I started to work with him.", says Chito casually, "At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more."
Chito has told his story now only to raise awareness of the cruelty that can be done to animals, and the difference that affection and treating other rightly can make.
"He's my friend, I don't want to treat him like a slave or exploit him." said Chito, "I am happy because I rescued him and he is happy with me because he has everything he needs."

Corporatism is Fascism, as the New Supreme Court Decision Shows
"When corporate takeover of government happens that is fascism, pure and simple.
"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power." And this so-called decision by the Court proves that.
Corporations taking over our Supreme Court to regulate voting, and we all know there are too many RIGHT wing judges on that bench, is the obvious and blatant fascism that Adolf Jr started when he stole the presidency over 10 years ago.
The only thing they're going to do is continue the right wing cheating, so they can steal more elections. Talk about voting against your own interests. Is this Nazi Germany or the US (using Godwin's Law automatically loses the argument because my point is valid). This country nearly turned into a carbon copy of then and I have nearly 400 examples that show it.
This decision IS un-American and stomps again on the Constitution, which is there to stop these sociopaths from destroying the country and to keep them in line. And yes, including those on the Supreme Court Bench.
And who is putting their own interest over the good of the country? The Right Wing. It's their way or else and they'll do everything they can to stop us from fighting back. Blind obedience to the REICH-wing has gone too far. Enough is enough.
The right wing also stole the "election" the 2nd time where they changed votes automatically on voting machines, which are "regulated" by... Guess who? Yes, Republicans. You do the math.
Germany learned. Obviously America didn't. The last thing we need is a bunch of little Frieslers on the Bench. Is the Supreme Court turning into the "People's" Court, which is everything but?"

Actually, under Fascism it is just the opposite. Under Fascism, the government takes over business. Your "anonymous" is dead wrong. No wonder he wanted to remain anoymous.
"In the economic sphere, many fascist leaders have claimed to support a "Third Way" in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control of state socialism.[15][16] ***This was to be achieved by establishing significant government control over business and labour (Italian fascist leader Mussolini called his nation's system "the corporate state").[17
As you can see, it was the government CONTROL over business. Very much like what you guys believe should happen here.
Do you guys even READ anything about history, or do you just fly by the seat of your pants? - January 30, 2010 at 6:12 PM

"Do you guys even READ anything about history, or do you just fly by the seat of your pants?"

- RayGun said...
"Do you guys even READ anything about history"
That's all you cons do is read history, or rather watch history according to Faux News. Progress silly cons, move forward, learn from the past, don't just keep repeating past mistakes.
1. Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.
Hey cons, blood letting worked for years, or so they thought.
Blood letting and voodoo economics, ancient ideas proven wrong, but some of which cons still rabidly cling to. - January 31, 2010 at 5:48 AM
- Casey said...
The article also makes inference to fascism as being far RIGHT, when in fact, if this guy were to know history or even FACTS (I know, weird concept)fascism is far LEFT. Fascism has more in common with communism than anything else.
Hitler called it the National Socialist Party, and in fact Mussolini was a Marxist first. Leon Trotsky spoke of fascism as being akin to Marxism.
Then there is Stalin's famous dictum that, rather than being opposites, fascism and social democracy (marxism)were "twins".
I know that the Progressives like to accuse the right of being fascists; it sounds really good and is a usful scare tactic, but it is not based in fact.
Fascism takes over the businesses.
Whoever wrote this article, CJP needs to read a book, or take a class. This is simple stuff - January 31, 2010 at 6:08 AM
- RayGun said...
"I know that the Progressives like to accuse the right of being fascists;" --CC
1. a person who believes in or sympathizes with fascism.
2. (often initial capital letter) a member of a fascist movement or party.
3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.
Number 3, I say we have a BINGO. And cons sure love their military and sure love their police, to enforce their fascist views. - January 31, 2010 at 6:16 AM
- Casey said...
Rg, I don't know where you got that definition, but #3 is not true. Facsism is not right wing, however it has become popular to call it that. I know you hate history, but you really need to get a book on this before you drink the Kool Aide. Fascism and Marxism are very close. So close that the Nazi Party was called, National Socialist Party.
You guys want government control of business. That's what Facsist do. Facsism restricts freedom in the same way that Stalin did. Mussolini was a Marxist, then joined the Facsists. Was Stalin far RIGHT? Oops! I forgot. You don't like to read history. - January 31, 2010 at 6:47 AM
- Casey said...
You guys can TRY to get me on this one, but you won't be able to. I know something of this as my Major was in History. In other words, I have read a book or 2 on the subject and actually TOOK CLASSES and got a Degree!

Fascist Cons
3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.
Sure sounds like most cons I know. And you cons do love your military, like most fascist leaders from the past, and you do love your police, like Hitler loved his SS. Doesn't the left tend to be liberal?
1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
Liberal Definition
The above definition does not sound "dictatorial" to me.
Case, isn't it true, that past fascists loved their military and loved their police? And aren't cons always accusing dems of being week on defense and soft on crime?
I think you have been listening Beck and his alternate view of reality. I skimmed a piece in Politico on that show. I think I am about done with Politico, as they seem to be going the way of Faux News. - January 31, 2010 at 7:10 AM
- Casey said...
You are done with Politico because they are saying things that you don't want to hear. The Truth?
"Doesn't the left tend to be liberal?"---RG
Another obsurd statement. Stalin LOVED the military and the police. Stalinist Russia was crawling with both. Try to go to Cuba and be all liberal and see where that gets you. See how long you last. No, RG. The Left is not a fan of freedom. Neither was Hitler, but I am.
My degree is in history. I love history. I know a bit about it. I didn't get my information from Glenn Beck. However his analysis of Facsism was very accurate.
But you don't even have to watch Glenn Beck to find out. Get a book. There are many out there on the subject.
Facsism has features of nationalism and socialism and are combined and interrelated.
That is the truth. READ. - January 31, 2010 at 7:34 AM
- Casey said...
One more thing. What was one of the first things that Hitler did? He Nationalized healthcare, of course. doesn't sound very conservative to me...
- January 31, 2010 at 7:49 AM
- RayGun said...
"What was one of the first things that Hitler did? He Nationalized healthcare, of course."
Wow Case, using Becks and your logic, the rest of the world is on a rampant collision course with fascism because rest of the world has nationalized health care?
I am currently reading Lolita, by Nabakov, a book I am sure is on many cons wish to ban list.
Didn't sweet Sarah want to ban some books in Wasilla, or so there were articles written saying such, right? - January 31, 2010 at 8:23 AM
- Casey said...
"Using your logic, the rest of the world is on a rampant collision course with fascism because rest of the world has nationalized health care?"
Actually, if you learn the similarities between Facsism and Socialism you would not have to ask that question.
Yes, that is the first thing that both systems institute is Nationalized Healthcare. Also, goverment take over of private business. Marx saw socialism as a short stop off to Communism. Why is that?
No one wants to ban books. Now you are just being silly.
If you take a look at the list you'll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban…that hadn't even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn't published until 1998.
This is an internet rumor that has never been proven.
June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed for a list of propsed banned books. - January 31, 2010 at 8:49 AM
- RayGun said...
"Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

Who do I believe?
Face it, you cons are fascists. You love telling others what to do and enforcing it with heavy handedness including military and police. - January 31, 2010 at 8:55 AM
- Casey said...
Okay. This is stupid. I keep giving you the information on what a Facsist is, and you ignore it. If you were into learning as much as you are into mudslinging and name calling, you guys might have challenging arguements. Did Stalin ban books? YES. Did Hitler? YES. There is another similarity.
It is interesting that Mary Ellen Baker was not available for comment, however I have given you the name of the President of the Library Association, who could not find such a list. BTW--Time has been highly critized for the article, as there was no basis for the allegation. - January 31, 2010 at 9:21 AM
- Casey said...
"You love telling others what to do and enforcing it with heavy handedness including military and police."---RG
You have lost your mind. I am convinced of it. Give me ONE instance of conservatives using military and police to enforce ANYTHING.
Woodrow Wilson did that, but he was a big fat Progressive! - January 31, 2010 at 9:24 AM
- RayGun said...
"Palin has acknowledged she twice raised the issue in 1996 of how books could be removed from the shelves, but said it was only a "rhetorical question" and that she did not ask for any books to be banned.
Palin's church at the time, the Assembly of God, had been pushing for the removal a book called "Pastor I Am Gay" from local bookstores, according to the book's author Pastor Howard Bess, of the Church of the Covenant in nearby "
Hmm, wonder whom I believe. You guys are Facists, admit it. - January 31, 2010 at 9:25 AM
- RayGun said...
"Give me ONE instance of conservatives using military and police to enforce ANYTHING. "
RayGun with his war on drugs.
Fascists using a heavy hand to enforce their dictatorial message.
Remember, liberals by definition want personal freedom. Cons by definition live in the past and are fascists.
Oh how about the crazy cons bombing abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors? - January 31, 2010 at 9:29 AM
- Casey said...
You are insane. "Reagun's war on drugs"? GET A GRIP! Yeah, he had miltary out patroling our streets!
I can't even comment further on that---it is just too rediculous.
And Palin's Church, is different from Palin doing it.
How about crazy libs, bombing research buildings and setting fire to homes in the name of enviromentalism? You have your share of loons, too! No, you wont want to admit to that. I expect no less. - January 31, 2010 at 9:57 AM
- Casey said...
Actually, if you read about Facsism (silly concept and you would never do it, but I have to make the suggestion anyway) you will see that what you are proposing and supporting is much CLOSER to facsim than what I believe in. Conservatives are in favor of LESS government and Liberals/Progressives in favor of MORE government. The whole accusation of facsism is childish in the face of the actual FACTS.
We are in favor of keeping the internet free, while your side advocates censorship of the internet. Your side would like to see Fox News shut down, while my side believes that all stations should be kept free while the free market should decide the fate of the opposing views. The list goes on and on.
I refuse to believe that you are as ignorant as you are begining to sound. I think that you are debating for the sake of the debate, RG. - January 31, 2010 at 10:07 AM
- RayGun said...
Sorry Case.
3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.
The extreme right wing views is a lot of cons in this country. Fascists. - January 31, 2010 at 10:15 AM
- Casey said...
Not a valid arguement. Simply not true that the views are extreme right. Why was it called National Socialist Party? Why does it combine Nationalism with Socialism? In spite of your little inaccurate definition, the reality is the above. Nationalism and Socialism. Combined. Actually, Stalin thought that Facsism was fine except he objected to the Nationalism part. This arguement that you are putting up continues to be silly. It is like trying to nail jello to a wall.
You-- 1) don't know facts 2) don't want to accept history---in the face of history itself 3) even when shown that you are wrong, you repond to the equivalent of a child sticking it's fingers in it's ears because he doesn't want to hear the truth! - January 31, 2010 at 10:32 AM

Cons are dictatorial AND have extreme right-wing views. - January 31, 2010 at 10:41 AM
- Casey said...
You are hopeless. You know that I am right, yet you don't want to face it. It flies in the face of everything that you believe in. It must be rough for you. I understand.
It is a progressive tactic to confuse facsism with the right. It has been used for so long that people often accept it as fact, and don't even question it. However the facts do not support it. - January 31, 2010 at 10:56 AM
- RayGun said...
"However the facts do not support it. "
Just the dictionary definition supports that cons are fascists. Cons don't like words, or they don't like words meanings, so they make up their own meanings. - January 31, 2010 at 11:02 AM
- Casey said...
RG, go read up on Facsism and Nazi Germany and then get back to me.
And NO ONE is telling you what to do. That is childish. - January 31, 2010 at 11:04 AM
- CJP said...
Casey, you are dead wrong. Communism/Socialism are vastly different from Nazism/Fascism.
Communism and Socialism stand for government ownership of the means of production. When the Communists took over Russia in 1917, they immediately nationalized all industry, and Stalin went so far as to eliminate small farmers and turn all of agriculture into large collective production.
Nazi Germany was powered by huge industrial corporations, including Siemens, Krupp, I. G. Farben, Bayer, Messerchmidt, Junkers, Daimler-Benz, etc. -- many of which used vast amounts of slave labor during the war.
The Soviet Union had no such large private corporations. All means of production were owned by the Soviet government.
There was a world of difference between the Russian and German economic structures. The fact that Hitler's Nazi Party was an acronym for National Socialism does not mean that the Nazis were Socialists. On the contrary, Hitler was dedicated to the destruction of Marxism. Marxist Socialism and Communism were Hitler's avowed enemies, not part of his movement.
So, large corporations had lots of power and control under Nazism and Fascism, but such corporations did not exist under Communism where everything was controlled by the government.
In the United States, we always have the risk that big corporations and wealthy individuals will gain too much power over the rest of the people. Here, we use government as an arbiter, as a counter-balance, to prevent corporations from becoming so rich and powerful that they destroy everyone else.
Obama is not trying to introduce Socialism here. He is trying to save capitalism from self-destruction, preserve our banks and financial system, and use government to prevent corporations from becoming so all-powerful that the working class and middle class are crushed. - January 31, 2010 at 11:47 AM

"Hitler was dedicated to the destruction of Marxism. Marxist Socialism and Communism were Hitler's avowed enemies, not part of his movement."---CJP
We disagree again. The only reason that they BECAME avowed enemies was because Hitler's Nationalism. In the begining, the 2 countries carved up Europe and Stalin was good with that. Stalin was distrustful of Hitler as Hitler's asperations were to invade Russia and Stalin knew that. Hitler did not want to share world domination.
The main difference between Marxism and Communism is the Nationalism. Both are totalitarian regimes, with the government in control of everything.
I have never said that Hitler was any part of a Marxist regime. Fascism is different from Marxism, but the fundamentals are similar. Very similar. Total government control of business and industry are goals of both. The WAY that that is acheived is where the difference lies.
The arguement here (and my objection to your statements)is that you people were comparing the right to Fascism and that is just not true. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The desire for limited government separates the right from any similarity to facsism. To equate the 2 is to show ignorance of the facts.
Is Obama trying to introduce Socialism here? Not sure yet, however he is in favor of the expansion of the Federal
Governmemnt, and that cannot be disputed.
The Constitution limits the size of, and the role of the
Federal Government in our lives. We tend to forget that, or think that the Constitution is no longer relevant. I distrust that line of thought. And yes, Hitler did institute nationalized healthcare as one of his first accomplishments. And yes, Mussolini was an avowed Marxist before he was a Facsist. Such were the similarities. - January 31, 2010 at 12:53 PM

Who does that remind you of? Hint, sounds like con.
CJP, you can't argue with these guys about this crap. Up is down, left is right, evil is good in their world. They were completely wrong about the economy, under w, and they are completely wrong now. They are trying to paint Obama as a fascist and if anyone is fascist it's the cons. They live in an illusory world, and it's all in their head and impossible to argue with in any rational matter. Think brain washing. Think religious programming. Same thing. - January 31, 2010 at 1:09 PM
- Casey said...
RG. you can be a nationalist (I believe you mean patriotic---not quite as extreme as Nationalism) without being a Nazi. You have to have all the components to be a
Facsist. How rediculous to even bring that up!
I made one mistake in my last post. I said, "The main difference between Marxism and Communism is the Nationalism". I meant to say, the main difference between MARXISM AND FACSISM is the nationalism.
You guys, I would put my degree in history before your quick internet search any day of the week. Sorry if I sound snobby, but that's the way it is. - January 31, 2010 at 2:03 PM

I agree with you, Casey, that Fascism and Communism are both totalitarian. They both have that in common.
But Fascism is Corporatism. It is a system where large corporations and business people have the control and the power. Everything is not owned by the government, as under Communism. Fascism exists for the perpetuation and prosperity of the wealthy few at the top.
That's why so many German businessmen supported Hitler -- while they opposed Communism. Hitler and the Fascists were there to protect the interests of the super-wealthy, whereas the Communists would have nationalized their businesses.
The American Far Right, to the extent that it allows unbridled freedom to the super-rich, and does away with government regulation and controls, is creating a system that leads to Fascism.
Ronald Reagan said that government is the enemy. He was wrong. The American government represents the American people. Our government is the only force powerful enough to prevent unbridled power from residing in the super-rich, and provide protection for the vast majority of people who are not at the top of the economic ladder.
To oppose government programs like Social Security, Medicare, minimum wages, maximum hours, government regulations providing safe and sanitary workplace conditions, etc. -- is insane and delusional. To eliminate these programs would hurt most Americans, not benefit them. - January 31, 2010 at 2:27 PM

Did you read "Mein Kampf" by Hitler?
Guess not, it must be on the banned list of books there. Lots to learn by reading that book.
History is supposed to be facts. Most countries write their own and other nations' history as fact while they're writing through their own colored glasses as how it all REALLY happened.
Think about the above.
The only valid HISTORY FACTS are dates, (not the edible ones, lol) the majority of the rest is disputable baloney.
I learned the history of my country and found that others from other countries learned it far differently than us. Why, if history is supposed to be FACTS? - January 31, 2010 at 2:50 PM

Over zealous fervent nationalists. Our dear cons.
Fascists are nationalists and also often racists, but I wont go there directly.
"Amazing Grace", a movie about Wilbur Wilberforce, who led the movement to abolish slavery in Britian. He also pushed for free education and free health care, all around 1883. Is the rest of the world furthur evolved than we are? The US eventually comes around but it takes so very long. I think our religious cons are holding us back, although Wilbur was a religious nut. Ironic eh? Nah, not really, as we know the cons real God is Mammon. Wilburs God was the real deal... You know what I mean. - January 31, 2010 at 3:49 PM

Where are we at? Ok Obama may have socialist leanings, because he wants universal health care, as most the rest of the world already has, but cons are pretty much fascists, as they fit text book definitions perfectly. [Case] closed.

Yes, I did read "Mein Kampf", Anon 2.
I don't know how much there was to learn from it.
All I could see were the insane ravings of a madman, who should have spent his entire life locked up in a padded cell, instead of writing and publishing a best-selling book that was filled with so much raving lunacy and so many criminal lies.
The publication of "Mein Kampf" by itself should have been sufficient evidence to cause Hitler to have been kept in an asylum for the criminally insane for his whole life. You can see how much good releasing him did for the world. - January 31, 2010 at 3:57 PM

"all around 1883"
OOOPS, all around 1807-1833, well before the US civil war. Speaking of civil war, sure seems cons like war for their causes, however misguided those causes may be. - January 31, 2010 at 4:17 PM

"Yet, we continue to wage war on those with chemical dependencies. We persecute and prosecute them, limit or bar their access to treatment, strip them of their dignity -- in large part because of the myths surrounding addiction.

Are you suggesting that the Civil War was a misguided cause? That's just crazy
As for Facsism, let me give you this:
Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society's economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners.
Same f'ing thing guys! The government running business, directly as in Marxism and indirectly under Facsism. Do you honestly believe that HITLER would have been willing to split the power with ANTONE? Get serious.
Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the "national interest"— Do you think that they had a choice?
Now who is "splitting hairs"? - January 31, 2010 at 4:40 PM
- RayGun said...
"Are you suggesting that the Civil War was a misguided cause? That's just crazy"
Uh suggesting that the cons (southerners) had the misguided cause.
GD while watching "Amazing Grace" (that beautiful song was written by an ex slave ship owner) I saw the British Parliament jousting back and forth, with those evil words, and the guys for slavery sure reminded me of you know who (cons). The British cons talked, how our wealth will disappear, oh how the slaves really don't mind, oh how the country will lose all its wealth... Sound vaguely familiar but in a different age?
Go read the words to Amazing Grace. Here is the beginning:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

"I don't know how much there was to learn from it."
You answered yourself in your post.
Hitler was a dangerous madman who's listeners to his (dangerous) speeches took a whole country and many others to destruction and 60 million lives. He had them entranced, brainwashed with his speeches. That was according to live witnesses.
There is the danger of Beck, Limbaugh and their ilk in being able to a certain extent produce what Hitler produced by his ranting dangerous speeches, especially during the (world) German Depression.
People become mesmerized by Beck etc, hanging on to their every untrue word and believing all of it. Sounds like Hitler stuff if you listen to their voices.
Have anyone of you ever heard Hitler speak? Of course, through tapes.
Mobs can be and were easily created by people such as Hitler.
Brainwashing, people hanging onto their lips (radio, TV etc) for more lies, desperately wanting to believe the deceptions.
People are gullible and easy prey. A lie becomes a fact if it is repeated enough. Cons are master in the latter. - January 31, 2010 at 6:44 PM

The fascist cons will not stop until they get their way. No abortion, no homosexuality, complete ban on drugs including alcohol (oh wait they already tried that and failed), ban the right to die with dignity (make them suffer like the dear lord intended), ban birth control (Catholics sure want that), on and on.
Ironic, that Jesus and his Apostles, never mentioned any of the above, and exemplified socialism, which the cons equate with evil.
If Obama is anything, he is a socialist, which I am not saying he is. But ironic that the zealot con right wing, decided to call Obama (the one who the cons call the LEFTs messiah) a fascist. Hmmmm, proves once again who the cons real God is and He is MONEY, and not Jesus. Cons don't really want to follow Jesus, as He taught sharing and compassion for thy neighbor and for thy fellow man, and that flat hurts the cons bottom line. - February 1, 2010 at 2:53 PM

You're right, Ray Gun. The Cons' God is Money -- period.

The group of Conned has a lot to do with the Conned's God RayGun [Reagan]. They really believe his bunk.
"The Wire", the Bunk, is one of my favorite characters. Big lovable teddy bear, like RayGun [Reagan].

Chrysler Readies the Dodge Dart as Jeep Rolls On
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Things are going so well for Chrysler that at the New York Auto Show the automaker unveiled the fifth generation of its high-performance Viper.
"That says the company is feeling confident again," said Karl Brauer, CEO of auto comparison site TotalCarScore.com. "A company doesn't build halo cars when it's barely staying alive."
As Ralph Gilles, CEO of Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology team, put it in a prepared statement, "We simply would not let the performance icon of the Chrysler Group die" ... (even during) "a gut-wrenching period of uncertainty."
The auto show opened the day after automakers reported sales numbers, which in Chrysler Group's case included a 34% gain and the best monthly sales since March 2008. Jeep sales rose 36% while Chrysler brand sales rose 70%.
Year to date, Chrysler Group sales are up 39%, Chrysler brand is up 85% and Jeep brand sales are up 35%.
"Chrysler volume is growing even before the Dodge Dart, which will likely be its No. 1 vehicle, goes on sale," Brauer said. "The Dart is a good small car, and that's where volume comes from."

Varadero Tourist Attractions
Varadero is Cuba's most popular tourist destination. It stretches along the Peninsula de Hicacos, which juts out into the sea off the north coast and is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. There are over 50 hotels along this strip, which is regarded as an exclusive and expansive tourist center. The beaches and resorts along here draw visitors from all over the world.Varadero caters almost exclusively to foreign travelers and offers every type of service one would expect to find at a major tourist resort. Sports options available here including diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, golfing, sky diving, and more. As one of the most upscale and expensive areas in Cuba, few Cubans come here. Consequently, visiting Varadero will not offer a "Cuban" experience or give visitors any real insight into what Cuba is like, but will definitely satisfy anyone who is looking for a sun and sand holiday.
Restaurante Las Americas (Villa Xanadu)
The former Villa Xanadu, now the Restaurante Las Americas, became the property of the Cuban government when the original owner fled the country after the revolution. This marvelous villa was owned by Alfred Irenee Dupont de Nemours, who had it built in 1929. Constructed with Italian marble, chosen wood, and thermal insulated ceramic tiles, the Villa Xanadu was an incredibly lavish retreat. When the Cuban government took over the property it was converted into a fine restaurant, Restaurante Las Americas, which features fine French cuisine. It is possible to go see the villa without having to order in the restaurant. On display are some of the original furnishings, information on Dupont, along with old photographs.
Parque Josone
Parque Josone is a large park in Varadero. It was built in the 1940s and was originally the property of factory owner Jose Uturrio who is thought to have built the mansion here for his wife Onelia. The peaceful Parque Josone is home to gardens with large trees and flowers, a small lake with geese and other birds floating around, and ornamental bridges. Tourists come here to rent rowboats and paddle around the lake. What was once the main residence on the grounds is now a restaurant, as is the guesthouse, which makes for a nice afternoon or evening outing in Varadero. There is also a swimming pool at one end of the park.
Varadero Museum
The Museo de Varadero is a nice distraction from the beach. The museum is housed in a 1920s beach house designed by architect Leopoldo Abreu. The design, with the surrounding balconies and wood veranda, is a typical example of beach houses from that time period. It was renovated extensively in the early 1980s.The Museo de Varadero contains some mildly interesting exhibits including, stuffed animals, period furniture, and the remains of a small two headed shark. Some of the old photos on display show Varadero in the 1940s and 1950s. There are also a variety of miscellaneous historical items from around Varadero.
Parque Natural Punta Hicacos (Parque Natural de Varaderos)
The Parque Natural Punta Hicacos, also commonly referred to as Parque Natural de Varaderos is located at the far end of the Hicacos Peninsula at Varadero. This protected area is a nature reserve with a nice sand beach, a variety of plant species, a lagoon once used to mine salt, and caves. The two caves, Cueva de Ambrosio and Cueva de Musulmanes contain some unique finds, including rock paintings and aboriginal fossils. Off shore from the Parque Natural Punta Hicacos are over 20 popular scuba diving sites.
Cayo Piedra Underwater Park
Northeast of Varadero is a popular diving and snorkeling area called Cayo Piedra Underwater Park. Here underwater explorers will find shipwrecks and all kinds of brightly colored fish.

Salt Lake City is probably one of the last places that a group of 7 girls living in the Tri-State area, would pack up and choose to vacation. But when we heard that's where the Adult National Volleyball championships were going to be located, Utah soon became our destination for Memorial Day weekend 2012!
Although a few of us have competed at past Adult National Championships, this was the 'Teal-Quila' team debut! We came out strong with an undefeated record in pool play and then advanced directly into the Gold Bracket! But our final four hopes fell short, due to an unexpected circumstance. And we had to play 'iron man' style in playoffs with only 6 players. We had higher goals for ourselves, but we had a blast and we are proud to say that we went out fighting!
'Teal-Quila' is excited to redeem ourselves in 2013!

Hinsdale Central specialist 'leaps' into retirement
Vivian Kane of Willowbrook retired from Hinsdale Central High School in December, but will stay involved with the school's Leap into Africa service club. | Kimberly Fornek—Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 4, 2013 6:25AM
HINSDALE — Vivian Kane retired in December from her job as a computer specialist with Hinsdale Central High School, after working 30 years for Hinsdale High School District 86.
Q. What were your responsibilities?
A. I did the computer backup and the help desk for the staff. Of course, the computers were different back then, they were three large washing machines, that's what they looked like to me anyway.
Q. What brought you to District 86?
A. I came from the Florsheim shoe company.I was working downtown (in Chicago) on their computers. I was spending 12 hours a day at work. After my divorce, I wanted something closer to home. And I always wanted to be a teacher, . . . and this was the closest I could get to that.
Q. How did you learn about computers?
A. I learned it on the job. As we had conversions to different systems, the district would send me to be trained. It just came to me.
Q. What were your job responsibilities?
A. Writing reports, helping parents with home access (to their students' records), and doing the quarterly report cards. I have to run the GPAs and do all the background work for the report cards. I also run the yearly master schedule (where the list of courses for which students registered are matched with the available class sections and time periods). That's a huge, huge job. It takes me almost all spring.
Q. What was your favorite part of your job?
A. (Helping prepare) the master schedule. It was very stressful, but it was very challenging. And being with the staff, they're a great staff, and the kids. I am going to miss the kids more so than the job really.
Q. How much interaction did you have with the students?
A. I'm involved with (Operation) Snowball, a weekend retreat focusing on drug prevention and keeping kids healthy. Six years ago, I became involved with the Leap into Africa club (a service club at Hinsdale Central that raises money for a math and science school in South Africa). Two years ago, we went on a trip to Cape Town. It was a very life-changing experience to see how the people lived. Cape Town was beautiful, (but outside the city) people live in metal shanty homes with dirt roads. They cook outside . . . there were no facilities.
I felt helping these students and their education will help the future of their country. I knew we did the right thing.
Q. What do you plan to do with your new free time?
A. I'll spend more time with my grandchildren . . . and I'll stay involved with Leap. The kids told me I could take two Fridays off, and then I had to be back.
Q. When does the club meet?
A. Every Friday morning at 7:15.

When I introduced my first young lady to my parents my Father took me to one side and said 'Son, if it has blonde hair on top of it or tyres underneath it will be trouble and expensive'. Life proved Him right, so it was with some trepidation that I purchased a 10 year old Mercedes S500L Mercedes from BuyaCar off the net unseen. The car arrived presented as if it was new and a thousand miles to France and North Wales in the first week of ownership was without incident. But, as with the... (read more)

I had taken a leap of faith and ordered a new Toyota Verso through them, saving £3k off the list price. Two weeks after signing up and paying my deposit, they contacted me to say the manufacturer had provided them with the wrong price plan and they had to add £1k to my order price. Alternatively they offered me a full refund. The revised price was the same as that quoted by my local dealership so I decided to go with them instead, as I thought they might be more reliable.

I, like many, was a little sceptical about buying a car over the internet. I purchase many things over the web but nothing that remotely gets close to the amount of money a new car involves. After the value of the savings Buyacar were quoting, the value of a new car from them was actually lower than what the local dealerships were quoting for an older model with 30,000 miles on the clock! It was this level of savings and the fact that the firm has been around a while that made me take the... (read more)

One bit of advice then, if you are far from a fuel garage. Your new car when delivered to you will have NO fuel in it, so advise you have a can of fuel at home, unless you have a fuel garage very very near by.

How Does Your School Measure Up?
Parents, students and teachers are being asked to take an online survey that will help highlight their particular school's strengths and weaknesses.
Parents, teachers and students are invited to take a statewide survey aimed at identifying strengths and weaknesses at local schools. The Illinois 5Essentials Survey, run by the State Board of Education (ISBE), opened Feb. 1 and can be taken online through March 31. It focuses on five essential components for school success: effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment and ambitious instruction. The survey will also be administered to students in the sixth through 12th grades. Survey results will help Illinois "lead the nation in providing a unique opportunity to deliver more comprehensive and reliable information on how to improve schools that test scores alone simply cannot capture," according to …

BIDWELL — A local restaurant is working to ensure that no one in Gallia County has to go hungry this Christmas by allowing its customers, just for one day, to pay only what they can afford.
Adopting an idea that that has proven successful in national chains, the Wounded Goose in Bidwell has planned its first "Turn the Tables on Hunger" fundraiser for Tuesday, December 18. Between the hours of 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. customers will be able to decide what they are willing to pay for a meal. Those who can afford to pay more than menu prices are encouraged to do so, and any extra income for the day will be donated to the Living Water Food Pantry in Vinton.
"The idea was inspired by an article I read about certain Panera Bread locations, as well as some restaurants owned by Bon Jovi which have adopted a pay-what-you-can philosophy," said Samantha Brabham, marketing director for the Wounded Goose.
Brabham said that the Wounded Goose already participates in an ongoing fundraising program involving area schools and churches. If the "Turn the Tables" day is a success, then the restaurant's owner Katherine Brabham plans to repeat it about once a month, with all surplus income donated to the Living Water Food Pantry.
"Living Water serves over 600 families in Gallia County," noted Samantha Brabham, "and one family has ten people. That's around 1,000 to 1,300 people altogether. We'd like to make a difference in their Christmases."
Brabham said that customers may bring non-perishable food items on Tuesday for the pantry for a chance to win door prizes, and customers can also earn $5 in Goose Bucks for every $50 spent during the event. She added that people can find flyers for the fundraiser on the Wounded Goose's Facebook page.
"Red's Rollen Garage and Red's Truck Center will donate a dollar to the pantry for every share and every 'like' we get for the flyer," Brabham said.

(CNN) -- An expressway bridge in central China partially collapsed Friday after a truck carrying fireworks on the bridge exploded, state media reported. The number of casualties from the blast and collapse in Henan province wasn't immediately clear. The state-run Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that at least 4 people had been killed, but state-run China National Radio said as many as 26 people were dead.
