384 Tasting Notes
okay, i really need to review my personal standpoint on stubbornness. i did this tea SUCH a disservice yesterday. overleafed, oversteeped…… i wonder if admitting that and having the brilliant new fancy kettle permits me to buy teas i might have muddled….? lol. ah, life is full of justifications for loose leafers!
WHEN IT'S DONE RIGHT and you aren't being a know-it-all-jerk (that would be me i'm talking about)this tea is: light and sweet. almonds, but not marzipan. reminds me very much of amaretto the alcohol. if you OVERLEAF it it will come across much more like amaretto but with a harsh acrid bitter kick. which i totally deserved. …. ……. …….. i might have put in 2 tbsp. …. ……… and left it for 6 minutes. possibly. lol.
light, sweet. very smooth! i'm not used to ceylons (heh heh, the sci-fi dork in me wants to say cylons) being so agreeable! the tea base is warm and round on its own, separate from the flavour level. it gives me a light amber flavour, though a darker colour steep.
very nice.
back to lab 5. we'll see how up to date my human geography professor is with sex ed is in sub saharan africa. i think my analysis may catch him a tad offguard, lol. but i always get good marks. partly because i citation him to death.
Yes! Cite everything! One of my friends is marking for a first year class, and it's an automatic D if they don't cite. You wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) how many students don't cite their sources. :/
we have three pages of citations. for a lab. it makes it much harder to argue with us. our information is rock solid…. if he disagrees with our opinions or my somewhat shocking analysis then that's a different thing, but our numbers and our data are BACKED UP.
(hmmmm….) we're evaluating the 5 best and 5 worst countries for child under 5 mortality and i stumbled onto a fascinating piece of information…… not sure i should reveal it here, but i don't think he's expecting it.
my lab partner and i like to be bullet proof. =0)
ah! my first birthday review! i've been 38 for a whole half a day and nothing….. i feel no different. then again, it's always like that =0)
after last year (when my mother bought me a huge amount of wine most of which is still kicking around our kitchen) i went out on a limb and discussed with her the concept of going a different direction this year: if she really wanted to pour a couple hundred dollars into beverages in honour of my birthday, could we go with something that I like? please? are you imagining me tap dancing dear friends? can you imagine how dicey that conversation that might have been? she laughed, said that if i wanted my GRANNY'S habit indulged she SUPPOSED she could. granny? really? what part of tea says senior citizen? i mean i'd have thought she could have gone for grampa at least….
anyway, as always, i digress!!! when the box from dammann freres arrived my mother could have called me anything she wanted. the smells drifting up from the box after i carefully opened it! berry and biscuit, chocolate and nuts….. separate blends that somehow all played together happily; separate but still comprising a mutual fan club. this one was the first of my day….. i sipped it in a daze on the way to school. what a way to wake up on your birthday!
this in my cup with music that was likely way too loud, smile wrapped around my head two times. i worked all weekend on a lab that i only got half done until i ran it by my prof who said i could stop with what i had because i had done so impressively much. it's been a good birthday so far!
sushi coming up for dinner, new kettle kettle humming in the background…. a buffet of spoiled boy teas to chose from. why is it i shouldn't like birthdays again?
my wife refuses to try this tea…. though she says she might consider wearing it as a perfume. =0)
thank you! they wrote 'happy birthday' with a smiley face on my sashimi container and i swear it tasted better than usual, lol. maybe they reserve the best stuff for birthday boys?
okay, i cannot express the value of a temperature programmable kettle!!!! wow stuff tastes amazing!!! i feel very spoiled. and i found out at about 3 this morning that i got 90% on my big psych project and she's offering me 100%. THAT is a hell of a birthday!
i love this tea…. go figure, it was made for me! but it's not just the blend i love…. it was the whole process.
stacy is brilliant. we all know that, but working with her one on one that is absolutely reinforced. we tried tons of combinations. we were all over the map! she listened to every idea i had and added in her experience, what did we get? a delightfully NOT tropical coconut/baked banana praline invention that makes me feel like i'm eating dessert even though i have very proudly (and honestly!!!) been off sugar for 2 weeks now.
the banana level is deep, very reminiscent of when i make baked bananas with butter, lemon juice and a pinch of brown sugar. the hint of lemon is there, i swear. the coconut is beautifully balanced by the banana and praline. not to mention the taiwanese assam! i love that the blend has a brilliant tea to back it!
if you have dreams of tea i cannot recommend stacy lim highly enough. the person, the process and the result. she even allowed for my particular fondness of cream and sweetener (formerly known as sugar, lol). it's great with, without. hell, it's just great.
thank you so much stacy…. i have sent a bunch of it out, though only two know it's coming, lol!
of course it gets 100%! oh, and in case you need the reference that stacy and i geeked out over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-q3_XoS2T8 …. believe you me, there were many, MANY discussions about dr. who tea names!
it was alot of fun. at a certain point stacy said 'it needs a fruit balance'. i disagreed. i finally conceded with 'bananas' to which she disagreed but agreed to make up a batch with prejudice (LMAO) then she wound up loving it and so did i. which is amusing because i usually have a hefty banana bias. it was awesome.
truly my friends…. PM me your addresses, i'll shove a sample in an envelope and shuffle it your way. i have a ton of tea, no swaps, but you are more than welcome to try it. i have zero problem buying some US stamps and sending a sample your way. obviously same for my fellow canadians. =0)
OMG, a River Song tea. Are the bananas from a grove in Villengard, by chance? Heh. PS I want to try some, and apparently we live in the same city? How's that happen? :P
I JUST NOTICED THAT 30 SECONDS AGO, lol. yay powers of observation. well, we'll just have to meet up so i can hand you over a sample. not sure about the origins of the bananas, but i can tell you this much….. if stacy has access to a TARDIS or an atypical presentation of time and space in any way whatsoever then i want in!
Yep. Anyhow, it won't be in the next week, since I am traveling stateside to visit friends, family, and go to Long Island Who. :P But after that, for sure.
This blend was soooo much fun to make! This was the first time working with someone where we just let the flavors go wherever they wanted to go. The only two requirements were coconut and complex flavors. We even tried a lime, rose, coconut. In my head that one sounded so good but in reality it tasted like musty curtains.
HAHAHAHAHA….. that is an awesome taste metaphor!!! i have sent a bunch out. i will be sending more. appropriately my dear you are brilliantly appreciated and not just by me! xoxo
i'm not sure if i get to say thank you or not….. my wishlist our con-joined fussing, stacy's work? lol!
Send it whenever lol. I'm in no rush. Like i said, I don't need Nina's :) stacy teas on the other hand…
i don't know what i expected from this tea…. but is is most certainly not what i got.
as a rule, things that are are harvested in canada in fall like the grapes for ice wine and winter like maple syrup are viscous and have an intense potential for sweet. playing off the word 'frost' i think that, paired with the colder weather, had me expecting something with an element of sweetness. i was entirely wrong.
while i smelled a light floral from the dry, the strangest thing i have ever encountered happened with the water added: nothing. well, almost.
i have an autoimmune disease that impacts my nervous system primarily. i have some abilities that could be called rather rare, though certainly not unheard of— like being able to smell the metal UNDERNEATH the plating metal. weird. i know.
this tea is cold. it smells like ice. yes, for me temperature can have a smell. screaming hot, steaming away, scalds my tongue….. and it is ice. pure ice. i have never encountered such a thing!
i don't know if i like it… i don't DISlike it, but i want a repeat performance. thinking that i might be having an early moment of dementia i wrenched the top off my tea cup in class today and shoved it under my lab partner's nose. (she's used to this by now)
'what do you smell?'
'i….nothing?' (perplexed look) she grabbed the cup and took a more serious sniff. 'how can it smell like nothing?'
'it smells like ice to me.'
'james, ice doesn't have a smell!'
'yes it does.'
Thinking about the Maple Pecan Oolong, I totally get where you're coming from. I wouldn't have phrased it the same way, but I do get it. Now I want to try the base tea on its own! :)
me too… mine's a nervous system disease byproduct. i don't get headaches, well, barometric if there's a real swing….. but i can usually smell it, before it happens lol!!!!! although i get clogged up really easily from stuff too and i wind smelling nothing. sigh. everything is a coin toss: the up side, the flip side.
ooooh, very nice mandala! simply complex.
very smooth, reminiscent of a tie guan in, or yellow…… i really don't think i would have guessed it was anykind of oolong had it not been on the packaging. robust but in a light hearted kind of way.
on a completely separate note, i wanted to thank your group for your product excellence. i had lunch with my mum today. often we don't get on, but life has been a bit tough on her lately and the place where we meet always has great food but ghastly tropical flavoured bagged green teas. i brought my bag of yellow buds with me and made her a pot at the table. she loved it! she was very surprised at the steep time, the colour, the taste. i know things are going to be difficult in her life for a while longer, so i sent her home with the tea and told her i'd get her more when she ran out.
your company really is a class act. and while my mother doesn't know you at all, on behalf of us both i will thank you.
i find these days i bounce between paris (mariage and dammann) complexity and manadala's understated simplicity. but that's like calling a circle simple to someone whose only ever drawn straight lines. thank you for the introspectively quiet circle.
most sincerely, james.
James, thank you so much for not only taking time to write the reviews, but for the kind words about our humble endeavor here at Mandala Tea. I am honored to have earned such accolades from you. This makes my day. Truly.
this tea is grand, i mean truly exceptional.
dry it reminds me of ripe strawberries and raspberry jello, but once the water goes in there is a premeditated tartness from the green base that negates any thoughts of jello whatsoever.
my unsolicited advice (as someone who thoroughly messed up their first attempt), believe the 3 minute recommendation on the bag. nina's has been doing this long enough that they don't recommend halfheartedly.
the green they have chosen is very smart indeed…. it has a sharp tang that is absolutely timed to the minute. the berries are balanced against a three minute time…. like a smartypants i figured more was better and went for 4 the first time and got no berries whatsoever. when correctly timed you get a perfect equation with perfectly (not over) ripe berries with a medium strength green tea. this is a flavoured green, there is never any doubt that it is a tea. with some flavoured blends the tea essence is lost, but not here.
very nice. little doubt i will buy again!
this tea has frustrated my intelligence. true i can be stubborn and do things in my own manner, but i have followed the instructions for this beautiful tea. i love the smell, i love the appearance….. but i get a mediocre taste!
1 minute, 1.5 minutes…. 4 minutes. hotter, colder. nope.
it is so highly sought after, and there is no more to be had this year at least and with every steeping i am wasting my supply.
i will rate this one… i do not believe it is a failing on my part or my other teas would be impacted. very sad…. i really did want to love it as others do….
It makes me sad that you are having issues with this tea.:((( I LOVE it. I knew it was discontinued, and I've heard a rumor that Garret isn't sure he will ever be able to get more. That also makes me very sad :(( I'm hoarding what I have. I don't even know how I steep it. I would have said that you can do anything to it and it just works.
Do you like Teavivre Black Pearls?
i was curious, so i looked up the history: nina's paris, (named after the founder's wife mme nina diaz) was founded in 1672 as the furbishers of fragrance to versailles. it shows.
this tea is red, and round. it actually creates a spherical shape in my mouth. i am not referring to the natural process of swallowing here, i feel the flavour in a spherical shape, over my tongue and against my cheeks.
this blend is an exercise in just enough and not too much; had the raspberry been stonger it may have evolved from a balanced tart to sharp or bitter, but it did not. the red currant adds the round component i think, as well a classic element. the caramel is very quiet… three fingers brushing one time lightly between your shoulder blades after a long day. soothing.
this tea is lovely. i was surprised at first when i learned that the french tea apothecaries were also frequently parfumeries, but it makes perfect sense now. how the two vocations could ever be separate is a foreign thought to me now because it is. so. logical.
while she did not send me this tea, i really must thank ysaurella for playing the part of brilliant catalyst for this part of my tea journey. our swap caught me so offguard i think my heart may continue to dwell in parisien tea houses.
nina's paris is one of two companies where caramel even registers with me…. the rest i can't detect at all. this blend was so very well done!
I was enamored with the sense of being transported by the tea to the Orient Express for some reason. Nina's reminds me of elegance…brocades velvet, polished wood, leather, perfume, plumes and jewels. Bowls of fruit, flowers and silver samovars.
Well, my grandmother was born in San Francisco in 1883. (Not great-grandmother). My mom singing Opera when I was young had some effect on my being a dreamer and a string of exotic travelers in need of lodging in the 1950's…friends of my linguist Aunt. In other words, I'm old.
Haha! I still remember dancing with my grandfather at the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill in S.F. on my 13th birthday…1961. A scene out of Mad Men, evening gowns and furs.
Jaaaammmmmmeeeeessss! How much do I have to pay you/what combination of favours would let me snag a teeny teeny sample of this from you? Feel free to say "there's nothing you can do, keychange, and I'll politely eff off.
I adore this tea. I plan to give it to my future son-in-law as a wedding gift soon, as it is precisely the flavor profile he likes, and the name is perfect! It reminds me of a tea he and my daughter bought for me when they were in Budapest. It is exquisite.
struck by the sheer terror of midterms after nearly 2 decades i behaved very badly and broke into my birthday tea with the intention of piping this mate directly into my brain if need be for my exam yesterday.
the exam the night before had been a NIGHTMARE. because of the impairments i do my exams on a PC….. which halfway way through my psyche exam timed out, drop kicked me and ERASED all of my answers.
… …. …… they called a tech from the library and shuffled me to a different spot to keep working. they did not shuffle me far enough….. i heard every groan of despair.
'the bad news is your work is gone and i can't get it back…' and thus a debate about what to do. i'll admit it, i had a brief (although polite) moment where i lost my cool.
'FOLKS! the option is exactly ONE! i need some quiet and i need to get the exam done. PERIOD.' and i did, because there was no other choice. especially with an exam the next morning first thing.
thus, with the advent of a new exam and a palpable frisson of fear STOMPING through my heart, i broke into my birthday tea and grabbed this mate hoping it would turn me into a genius and that i wouldn't have a repeat of the night before. it was a risk folks…. i have mentioned several times that i don't tolerate mate well. it usually curdles my stomach and makes me jittery.
seeing as i'm sure you are all waiting with baited breath i will tell you about exam 2: my prof will hate me. i wrote and wrote and wrote. i am expecting an A, but i'll settle for an A+, lol.
my glitches with mate? apparently only with ones from this continent.
this tea has marshmallow notes that soften a beautiful balance of fruit and flowers. very light in colour as well in taste. it is complex, but not complicated, and not the least bit imposing. beautiful, smooth, cleared the fuzz out of my head in record time. i will absolutely buy mate from mariage and dammann.
by far the best mate i have ever had. by leaps and bounds! and i will keep one in the house for as long as i'm a student.
agreed! hopefully i'm not completely cracked though and i did as well as i think i did on exam #2!!!
Oh god, reading this reminded me of all the horrors of writing adapted exams in the accessible tech labs at school. The computer would crash; the screenreading software would turn out to be a demo 40 minutes in; I'd lose my work and want to throw things. Good for you for keeping it together, because that's legitimate melt down teratory. i'm glad the second one went better, but uggh ugggh ugh.
oh no! there's this hope that someone gets what you're saying when this junk happens, but then you feel bad when they really really get what you're saying.
i have been talking back and forth with my prof, the disabled student resource center has yet to report anything to her. all i keep screaming in my head is 'SERIOUSLY??? GET IT TOGETHER!!!!'
Oh geez. In my befuddled state I thought your terrible experience WAS a nightmare! Kudos for making it through. You might want to actually mention to the centre that your prof needs to know about this kind of thing ASAP. I would have thought they would have been phoning your prof and cancelling and rescheduling your exam for when they had their act together.
Well, and the suggested remedies are never anything you'd want to deal with. Re-write the exam? Are you effing kidding me? go through that again because they're inept and don't ensure a method to back up stuff?
my dear keychange…. we should discuss who the owner of the page that we are both on is, lol. shared custody do you think?
i find myself at a cross roads with this puerh. on one hand there are aspects that i find vastly superior, on the other i find some elements disconcerting.
i really like the fact that it isn't musty as some puerhs i've tried lately are. there's a healthy but not overpowering astringency that balances the flavours out so that i am certain i am drinking tea and i haven't been whacked in the mouth with a moss pillow.
what i find odd are the smell and taste. it smells like popcorn, and it tastes like sticky rice. makes a certain amount of sense, it's a rice shu…. but sweet rice in my tea cup is new for me and i don't know what i think of it yet!
thank you very much to tao tea leaf for the sample. i always enjoy an opportunity to try.
no numbers, not yet. i'll try another steep and see if i can come to a conclusion!

This is a projection of the amount we'd have to pay to re-sign our STAR and soon upcoming free agents: (this is why Scott McC. is hesitant to spend money$$ in this years free agent class.
To Re-Sign:
PATRICK WILLIS: at least 6yrs 52 Million with 20 Million Guaranteed. (Comparable to James Harrison)
Vernon Davis: at least 6yrs 36 Million with 16-20 Million Guaranteed. (Comparable to Dallas Clark)
Dashon Goldson(if he continues to impress): 6yrs 26-30 Million with 10-15 Mill Guaranteed.(Comparable and just a little under to what Drew Rosenhaus is going to ask for, like the Packers safety Nick Collins.)
Manny Lawson: 5yrs 20 Million with 8-10 Million guaranteed (Comparable to our very own Parys Haralson.)
David Baas: 6yrs 30 Mill with 12-14 Mill Guaranteed( Similar to the Justin Smiley Contract.)
Alex Smith(if he does well in 2010 and we commit to him for the future) : 6yr 50-60 Mill with 18 mill guaranteed(similar to the David Garrard contract.)
Aubrayo Franklin(if we extend him): 3yr 27 Mill with 16 mill guranteed (Similar to the Casey Hampton contract.)
So in conclusion: This is why Scott McC. is so hesitant to spend money in this F/A and build through the draft. It gets very expensive if we sign other players and attempt to keep our own. That is a combined: 200+ mill spent to all those players and thats just what it would take to keep our free agent classes of 2010,2011. So maybe dreaming for Julius Peppers, Daunta Robinson, Karlos Dansby, Logan Mankins is a bit out of reality.
Lets brace ourself to an interesting but rather low spending 2010 free agency period.

Hello, I wonder if you can play on the same campagin and get diffrence traitors if you play more of the knight that was the traitor the first time? I hope you all will understand.
Sorry, I don't understand you but I don't know Settlers 6 very well.
Which campaign are you playing. I don't remember any of the knights to be traitors.
The first one not the eastern realm Think its after mission 12 when you see who the traitor is.
Can someone please tell me if this work. And what was the traitor when you played settlers rise of an empire?
Well, KillingBobo, I only have 10 campaigns. I guess that means I reinstalled ROAE but didn't replay it all.
I will try to play it through again, If no one else comes to help you.
OK. I have played the 12th campaign twice, once with Marcus for my knight and once with Hakim. The traitor was the same both times - Thordal.
Does that answer your question?
Last edited by sings_in_tune; 07-21-2012 at 04:22 AM.
But thank you for playing so you could answer the question thank you so much.
I am playing it again.
I have a poor memory, and its been a while but after my previous post I think I played with Thordal as my knight every mission, starting from the first mission that he was available. And then Elias was the traitor.
Replayed: With Alandra as my knight, Elias was the traitor (same as last time I played it).
Then with Elias as my knight, Kestral was the traitor.

Green Laughs at Mundine's Fantasy Mayweather Jr. Fight
Danny Green was laughing hard at the recent comments that were made by his Australian rival, Anthony Mundine.
Mundine, who was recently stripped of his WBA interim-title, believes he can land a fight with full WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"I just want to go after Mayweather, I don't want nobody else," Mundine said. "He's the only one on my level."
Green is very confident that Mayweather doesn't even know that Mundine exists.
"I'm sure in Fantasy Land it's a chance [Mundine can fight Mayweather]. But here on planet Earth, it's not even something Mayweather can have considered because he doesn't know the bloke exists," Green told Fox Sports.
so does everyone else :DComment by ironmike2012 on 05-16-2012
I agree with Danny.Comment by FUC_U_PAYME on 05-16-2012
lol.............Comment by Mr. Invincible on 05-16-2012
Let's get real, Mundine is a draw in Australia and has some boxing skills but Floyd probably doesn't know who he is and probably too small to fight him anyways. (Not saying he couldn't beat Mundine)Comment by nycsmooth on 05-16-2012
Mundine's on a level w/Trout which isn't saying much & 4 FM it's always about $$ & mindine can't draw, or even b comtetitive 4 FM, plus I'm sure FM goes bk 2 '47...2 much danger @'54 but 1 never…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (9)

Flax Seed-Bran Muffins
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
These are low-fat and low-sugar, which is good for us diabetics. I use a little real sugar with the Splenda, because the texture turns out better, and my blood-sugar levels are under control, but some diabetics may want to use a cup of Splenda and no brown sugar. (or use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend-I have never used it so don't know the proportions)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml all-bran cereal (shredded, not flakes)
- 59.14 ml Egg Beaters egg substitute
- 236.59 ml nonfat milk
- 29.58 ml canola oil
- 118.29 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 59.14 ml light brown sugar
- 236.59 ml unbleached flour
- 4.92 ml cinnamon
- 29.58 ml flax seeds
- 177.44 ml Splenda granular
- 9.85 ml baking powder
- 4.92 ml baking soda
- 1.23 ml cream of tartar
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Coat a 12-count muffin tin with nonfat cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine liquid ingredients with All-Bran and brown sugar. Stir until moist and set aside for 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add to bran mixture and stir gently until blended. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups (batter will be thin) until they are 1/2-3/4 full. Bake 15-20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool.

Ooohhh...these are so so good Mike. I love a bran muffin and these with the addition of the flax seed meal are wonderfully moist and delish. I used a combination of 1/2 wholewheat flour and 1/2 all purpose. I also used one egg in place of the egg substitute. Also, I took your advice and used 1/2 cup splenda and 1/4 cup regular sugar. They are still plenty sweet. A great low-fat treat. :-) Made for HolidayTag.
This recipe makes wonderful, full-flavored, good for you muffins! I made 2 batches-one as written (with the exception of replacing Splenda with sugar) the second one I used whole wheat flour instead of unbleached flour. Both batches were devoured in minutes. The majority of the people liked the ones made with whole wheat flour better. I think next time I will try Stevia and see how they come out.
GREAT, super-healthy muffins! I omitted the oil, used all splenda (though a reduced amount), used buttermilk, added 1/2 cup skim milk powder, and an extra 1/2 tsp. baking soda (as per Splenda baking tips). These turned out fluffy and high for the little fat they had in them. Tasty and a feel-good muffin! :) Thanks so much!

Definition of conduction band in English:
conduction band
A delocalized band of energy partly filled with electrons in a crystalline solid. These electrons have great mobility and are responsible for electrical conductivity.
Example sentences
- The laser light lifts electrons from the valence band into the conduction band, where they travel freely when a voltage is applied to the semiconductor.
- The electrons in the conduction band of this metal have no restrictions in their movement.
- In semiconductors there is a band gap - an energy barrier that electrons must overcome to reach the conduction band.

Skip to comments.Vice presidential debate: Who won?
Posted on 10/11/2012 11:08:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Erika Lovley Moderator :
Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan debated Thursday night on a mix of policy issues.
Did Biden recover the ground that President Obama lost in the presidential debate last week? Was Ryan able to hold his own against the senior politician?
David N. Bossie President of Citizens United :
Paul Ryan looked presidential tonight and Joe Biden acted like a child.
It was clear that the Obama-Biden game plan is to lie to the American people because they do not have the facts on their side. We all know that President Obama failed miserably last week, and what Joe Biden displayed tonight is what liberals love to do...whine. When all the debating is done this country is still in despair because of the failed policies of the last four years.
Jim Manley Senior Director, QGA Public Affairs; former spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid :
For me, the funny thing was that Paul Ryan more than held his own on a perceived weakness - foreign policy - while Joe Biden largely dominated the budget and tax issues, which was supposed to be Ryan's forte. As far as these things go, it was a helluva debate, but Biden did what he needed to do. He was succinct, direct and to the point. He won....
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Biden absolutely was NOT succinct, direct and to the point. He was
Confusingly wordy, all over the map, and obfuscating (both during his own time AND during Ryan's time)
It's just the photo.
This made me laugh:
"Celinda LakeDemocratic strategist :
Biden absolutely recovered the ground.
1) He energized Democrats. Like Clinton, he called out the lies and inaccuracies. This will energize Democrats who feel we are right but felt trampled on.
2) He showed a mastering of foreign policy that is unparalleled. He was reassuring in his approach.
3) Ryan was scary to women. How many more wars will he get and keep us in - Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and saber rattling with the Soviet Union reminiscent of the Cold War?"
So, how many ladies here were "scared" by Ryan and his big blue puppy eyes?
I thought the moderator was very biased, she pushed Ryan on many questions, she didn't for Biden. Biden got the soft treatment.
Celinda Lake. LOL! Is she still around?
Who knew the Soviet Union had re-formed since yesterday? You'd think that would've made Drudge, that crappy AOL News and Yahoo! News.
And still crazy after all these years.
Big Bird apparently bumped that headline down.
You gotsta have priorities in da news bidness...
I actually came to a different conclusion regarding the moderator. I thought she was more biased against Biden with her questions (as I watched the debate).
That being said, your opinion is shared by the majority here in FR and on Twitter and knowing who she is is can easily concede that you're right.
Maybe my expectations were lowered so much after learning about the wedding that she went above what I thought she would do.
I do think Ryan won the debate. Biden appeared to me to be there solely to be a debate crasher more than anything.
Who won?
Some are giving it to one, some to the other.
It will probably shake out as being about even.
And since vice-presidential debates historically don't make much difference anyway, the lack of any big winner means any impact will be pretty small.
More critical factors are going to be:
* how Romney does in the next two.
* the October jobs report, due out 4 days before the election.
* enthusiasm on election day.
Telling people not to sweat Iran because they have a long way to go to make a bomb wasn't reassuring. He is an idiot.
Ryan was scary to women
I watched a good portion of the debate replay on CNN where they had "undecided" voters watching with meters. The women loved Ryan. They liked everything he said. I think for a lot of these people this is the most they have ever heard from Ryan. He is a very likable guy, even when he is talking about our depressing economy.
It.. may be the photo. People tell me I look 16, but I'm getting on towards 30.
The moderator allowed Biden to interrupt and talk over Ryan when he was trying to give the facts supporting his policies. The moderator also cut Ryan off just when he was set to conclude his remarks with the winning statement. Finally, Biden would make the most outrageous charges and the Moderator did no allow Ryan to answer them.
Sal, "And still crazy after all these years."
Yep for sure, me to, Rab.
Ryan V brain dead. Pretty crappy job over all.
Did not stand his ground. Let moderator / Biden control the field.
Would it be shallow and disrespectful of me to say ... "Yum!!" LOL!
I was kind of disappointed that he didn't throw out the "X".
[but if you squeal, the Dems might mistake it for "scared" so try to be fairly quiet whilst ogling]
And 7 foot yellow fowl are breaking head line news, *always*.
I just saw "Beau" Biden yapping.
Made me think of Sean Connery telling Harrison Ford "We named the DOG Indiana!"
He could've just ripped off his shirt.
People who fervently support O/B will think that he did well, people who fervently support R/R will think the same for their slate. Each candidate got their slate's points out to the public.
The deciders are the uncommiteds and the persuadables.
If the debate were basically to be considered a draw on substance, it comes down to demeanor [style] - and that is where Biden probably "lost". The majority of uncommiteds and persuadables did not like what Biden did. Biden probably came off as bitter, petty, and petulant.
In 1960, historians generally agree that Nixon won on substance in the first debate.
HOWEVER, the public declared that Kennedy won that debate - and it was basically on style. Kennedy was well-rested and tanned. Nixon was sick with the flu and was sweating under the bright lights of the studio.
Big Bird is overpaid. Big Bird pulled down $314K in 2010.
If Big Bird were a creature of a free economy, he would be entitled to every penny. However, he is not.
It's time for Big Bird to go extinct! It's time to can Public Broadcasting!
Right! Now that they've been busted for incomplete data in their most recent report, they've pretty much shot their chance to manipulate those numbers just before the election. They're under the microscope.
I disagree. They've got away with two blatantly ridiculous job reports now. It'll be worth it to them to cheat on a third one four days before the election. It won't matter to them if it's exposed as bogus by day five.
Biden has got that silly grin on his face because the moderator was sitting on his lap all night.
Is David carville Erika's dad? She has the same space alien looks.
Poll in Miami Herald currently has Ryan the winner.

SANA'A: Two suicide bombers drove a car packed with explosives into a Yemeni army base in the southern province of Al Bayda yesterday, killing one soldier, the Defence Ministry said, in an attack for which Al Qaeda claimed responsibility.
Another soldier was killed by one of two blasts aimed at a central security forces building in the southern coastal town of Mukalla, where a suicide bombing a week ago killed at least 26 people. Authorities said they had made several arrests.
Militants linked to Al Qaeda have exploited political upheaval to strengthen their foothold in Yemen, particularly in the south which is also home to rising secessionist sentiment.
Yemen's south has been mired in violence since protests against former President Ali Abdullah Saleh took hold early last year, weakening already loose central government control over whole swathes of the country.
Yesterday's attack in Al Bayda, which targeted barracks of the Republican Guard forces, came just days after the interior ministry said it had information about an Al Qaeda plot to blow up eight cars in the capital Sana'a and the port city of Aden.
"The explosion was very loud and took place in Dar Al Nasr, which is a military site of the Republican Guard," said an opposition website. "Residents of the town were frightened by the force of the blast, which was felt more than two kilometres away and damaged dozens of neighbouring houses and blew their windows out."
In a text message Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack it said was revenge for crimes committed by the Republican Guard. There was no way to verify if the text was from the militants but they have used the method to communicate with media in the past. The United States, wary of Al Qaeda entrenchment in Yemen, backed a plan brokered by Yemen's Gulf Arab neighbours under which Saleh handed over power to his deputy last month and secured himself immunity from prosecution.

on December 8, 2013 - 12:01 AM
For more than 12,000 years, the international Niagara River has flowed its 35 descending miles from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It's ecological, cultural, historic and economic significance is world class.
This river, the Great Lakes and the biodiversity that they mutually sustain are important to the whole earth's ecological life-support system. This includes habitats supporting healthy wildlife and plant populations, and the generation of ecosystem services that clean our water and air, and provide climate stability. These services are fundamental to the health and well-being of the human species.
We have long known that the Great Lakes and Niagara ecosystems are in serious trouble. Since the dawning of the Industrial Age, human dependence on these waters has grown exponentially. Economic growth has relied on the exploitation and wholesale destruction of our local natural resources. This includes the world's first great clear-cut forest on Grand Island/Tonawanda in the 1840s, subsequent regional urban and industrial sprawl, and the creation of massive power plants on both sides of the lower river.
Jill Spisiak Jedlicka, executive director of Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, said, "The entire ecosystem of the river has been permanently altered, with 90 percent of historical wetlands decimated, and dozens of miles of shoreline hardened or inaccessible."
Exploitation of our resources has created great wealth, but the harm to our ecology has created economic harm. Funding strategies to remediate our natural assets are big-picture issues. Nothing less than the sustainability of our region is at stake.
The good news is that while restoration is a work in progress, we are moving forward. Government agencies, often working in concert with citizen-based groups and businesses, have engaged in cleanups, fixed infrastructure problems such as sewer and storm water discharges, addressed agricultural and industrial contamination and re-engineered growth strategies.
In 1996, an important initiative emerged when the Niagara River Corridor was named a "globally significant" Important Bird Area by a consortium of government agencies, citizen groups and nature organizations. Niagara habitats support hundreds of species of breeding and migrating birds, some of which come from as far away as the boreal forests of coastal Alaska and/or travel to the Amazon rainforest. These animals depend upon and support uncounted species that in turn generate ecosystems and ecological services that connect vast reaches of the globe. The Niagara is an epicenter of ecological stability. The IBA designation has brought worldwide and local attention to our stewardship of these resources.
History of greenway
By the late 1990s, the New York Power Authority was in the process of relicensing the Niagara Power Project in Lewiston, due to expire in 2005. Negotiations began to focus on the environmental and economic harm that had been done to the river, including ecosystem-disrupting problems related to the raising and lowering of water levels by power plant infrastructure.
Stakeholders in those negotiations included government, business, the Tuscarora Nation, Niagara University and an 11-seat Niagara Relicensing Environmental Coalition that included groups such as Riverkeeper, Adirondack Mountain Club, Niagara Frontier Wildlife Heritage Council, Sierra, Audubon and Western New York Land Conservancy.
In September 2004, as part of the relicensing discussions, then New York Gov. George E. Pataki created the Niagara Greenway Commission. Its purpose was "to undertake all necessary actions to facilitate the creation of a Niagara River Greenway." This was defined as a linear system of state and local parks and conservation areas linked by a network of multiuse trails connecting lakes Erie and Ontario. In April 2007, a Greenway Plan and Final Environmental Impact statement were published.
Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper's engagement and policy development has driven the conservation playbook for the river, and champions the greenway.
"The greenway is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bolster our blue economy," Jedlicka said. "Investments in the greenway and water-based restoration projects can be leveraged for a multiplier effect of investment in natural capital, economic development and community health and well-being."
On Sept. 1, 2007, a relicensing settlement was initiated in which the Power Authority committed more than $1 billion in financial support and benefits to stakeholders related to the greenway during the 50-year term (2005-2055) of the new license. This includes direct greenway money of $9 million a year – for a total of $450 million over the term of the license – to be spent by four greenway standing committees: Host Community, $3 million; State Parks, $3 million; Buffalo/Erie County/Olmsted, $2 million; and Ecological, $1 million.
The relationships between the standing committees, other funding related to the settlement and the Greenway Commission is complicated. Basically, most of the settlement money is intended to support the greenway concept with the four standing committees' funding directly tied to the greenway.
"Critical language within the NYPA settlement is dedicated to the mitigation and revitalization of the health of Niagara's ecosystem. An important component in building the greenway is the identification and funding of strategic places for restoration or conservation," Jedlicka said.
However, the Greenway Commission has no spending authority other than limited staff and facilities money. It reviews projects that are brought before it to determine whether they are "consistent" with the purpose of the greenway. The "consistency" findings are advisory, and the standing committees are not required to follow the recommendations of the commission.
As a result, some projects that are "not consistent" with the greenway have been funded. This has led to criticism.
In March, the Partnership for the Public Good, a Buffalo-based advocacy organization, published "The Niagara River Greenway: Fulfilling the Promise," which analyzed settlement money funding and found that only about half of the projects have advanced the greenway as originally envisioned. Sam Magavern, co-director of the partnership and principal author of the report, said the original greenway legislation and the adopted greenway plan are inconsistent.
"The plan defines the greenway much more broadly, which gives flexibility to fund projects such as Lew-Port athletic fields, which are not consistent with the greenway," Magavern said. "One solution is to introduce legislation that reconciles the two."
Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan agrees. He plans to introduce legislation this session that will resolve the disparity.
"Funds should be only used to support the primary mission of the greenway," Ryan said. "My legislation will guarantee that Western New Yorkers will get what they were promised."
New chairman lauded
Many stakeholders and leaders have driven the greenway process. Gregory D. Stevens, former board chairman of Riverkeeper and an experienced businessman, was recently appointed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo as chairman of the Greenway Commission. Stevens knows he is walking in big footsteps. He said he is honored that Cuomo has given him the opportunity to lead this effort.
"Growing up in Buffalo, I was horrified at what we had done to our waterways," Stevens said. "I believe the greenway is the opportunity of our lifetimes to undo this damage, and restore ecological health and public access to water across our region."
Stevens' appointment has been widely praised.
"He understands that the greenway not only affects New York, but also the Tuscarora Nation and Canada. This is an important perspective," said David Hahn-Baker, a greenway commissioner.
Another commissioner, Paul G. Leuchner, said, "Greg is doing a great job and he can take us to the next level."
Stevens is generating confidence by enacting a strategic game plan that involves meeting with and helping to coordinate stakeholders, including the standing committees, state agencies, businesses, organizations and others in order to develop the understanding of consistency, and to promote synergy.
One of his first acts occurred in October, when Stevens hosted a bicycle tour of the greenway, from Buffalo's outer harbor to Niagara Falls. The purpose was to evaluate the gaps in the current trail system.
"The linked trails are the spine of the greenway," he said.
Participants included members of the standing committees, and representatives of state agencies that are linked to greenway funding.
"There are a few remaining gaps, such as portions of Niagara Street in Buffalo, and in the Tonawandas, where there is a great opportunity to link to the Erie Canal Trail," Stevens said. "We intend to complete the trail, lake to lake, by the summer of 2014."
He added, "As we build out these trails and make connections, we build a constituency of users. This helps to broaden support and understanding of the greenway. This constituency will help us to move more toward the critical conservation strategies that we need to fulfill."
When asked about project "consistency" issues, Stevens said he is working to meet with all stakeholders so that the Greenway Commission can coordinate an understanding of what "consistency" means, and how it can advance the plan based on consistency findings.
"The commission is leading by example," he said. "We take consistency very seriously. We think that we will find more and more projects brought to us that reflect our approach."
Success and opportunity
Beyond the spine of the trails, there are stunning "habitat" success stories. With the support of the Greenway Commission and funding from the Ecological Standing Committee, the Western New York Land Conservancy is acquiring the Stella Niagara Preserve in the Town of Lewiston this past summer.
The 29-acre property stretches from Lower River Road and the Seaway Trail connector down to the river. This ecologically and historically significant property includes a quarter mile of natural and undeveloped riverfront habitat surrounded by meadows and forests. It is a significant bird and wildlife habitat and a critical conservation area in the greenway.
Nancy Smith, executive director of the Land Conservancy, said, "Stella Niagara is perfect for walking trails and a kayak launch. When complete, this will be the first nature preserve along the river to be owned and operated by a not-for-profit. It will be a model for creating great new public spaces along the greenway without burdening local government with increased costs."
Margaret Wooster, a Riverkeeper and member of the Ecological Standing Committee, has spent a lifetime working on Niagara River issues. She compares the greenway to an emerald necklace connecting the two lakes.
"The Niagara Gorge is one of those emeralds. It was one of the most botanically diverse areas in North America, and still retains amazing plants like the thousand-year-old white cedars," she said. "We need to protect the gorge. One strategy is to move the Robert Moses Parkway away from the rim. We funded a study that demonstrates the ecological and economic benefits of doing that, and now we have to act."
Wooster added, "More emeralds – the wetland-shallows-island habitats near the south end of Grand Island extending over to historic 'Tonawanda Flats,' once one of the best birding spots in the Great Lakes, and Buffalo's outer harbor area down to Smoke Creek Shoals – are important natural areas that need to be preserved and restored. Local waterfront development plans need to respect that the greenway requires an ample living shoreline for it to have any lasting value."
Greenway stakeholders are looking at the outer harbor and its relationship to the greenway as a valuable opportunity to realize the full vision. It is unclear how the Buffalo/Erie County/Olmsted Standing Committee and the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., the state agency that seems to have taken over planning for the outer harbor, will engage the full greenway vision.
This past summer, a citizen-based proposal for the expansive 21st Century Olmsted Park, an outer harbor park plan supported by Riverkeeper, received a "consistency" vote by the Greenway Commission but was rejected by the Buffalo/Erie County/Olmsted Standing Committee. It would be a shame to ignore a broadly supported desire by Buffalo stakeholders and the greenway vision to develop open space and public access in favor of the privatized development being pushed by the Harbor Development Corp. Buffalo's outer harbor could become the crown jewel of the greenway. Or not.

What causes cellulite? There are three structural problems that cause the appearance of cellulite. First, the connective tissue bands beneath your skin surrounding fat cells can become tight and inflexible. Second, enlarged pockets of fat trapped by the rigid bands push up against skin. Finally, thin skin makes the appearance of cellulite even worse. And you know what that means—the dimpled, orange peel look that makes you cringe. Other factors associated with cellulite are aging, heredity, hormones, weight and gender differences in skin architecture. That's why any effective cellulite treatment has to address more than fat and the surface of … Continue reading

John "Quincy" Thomas's first full day as Lebanon Water Works Company's superintendent was a doozey.
It was Monday, Jan. 17, 1994, and it was 20 degrees below zero.
Water lines were freezing and breaking all over the city.
That morning alone, water lines had burst on Boldrick Avenue, at Graham Memorial Park and on Woodlawn Avenue.
"That was my first day on the job," Thomas said. "But, things got better real quick."
An artist must be inspired to create. That's why the piano trio, Longleash, picked the Loretto Motherhouse as the location for their annual celebration of American new music called The Loretto Project.
The event will be held on Aug. 19-20 in Loretto, and will continue on Aug. 21 in Louisville.
The first day will feature Longleash, which is made up of a cellist, violinist and pianist. John Popham, the cellist, is originally from Louisville, but now lives in New York where the trio is based.
Joy Global recently announced an agreement to be acquired by the Japanese-based mining company, Komatsu, for $3.7 billion, but working through the acquisition could take some time.
Job Global Advertising and Public Relations Manager Caley Clinton said that the agreement will not affect workers for at least another year.
"Until the acquisition closes, which will be mid-2017, nothing changes in terms of our day-to-day," she said. "It's business as usual here."
The Marion County Sheriff's Office has plans to employ another officer to help fight drug abuse throughout the county.

The indictment also states that he intentionally or wantonly caused physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument.

Beau Baker was "very excited" when he was chosen to compete in the recent Baseball Youth All-Star Challenge in Branson, Missouri, but even that feeling was nothing compared to how he felt after winning the 10-year-old Home Run Derby and being a contributor on a team that would go on to win the event's championship.
"It was a good experience," Beau said. "Not a bunch of kids get to do this … You've gotta take advantage of it."
The Marion County Knights finally hit the soccer field for the season opener on Aug. 16 against the Campbellsville Eagles and notched a 6-3 win, powered by four goals from junior Logan Spalding, who played his first soccer game since the end of the 2014 season. He had left the team to focus on motor cross.
"Logan absolutely exploded in this match," Head Coach Greg Conley said.

For the past six decades, 78-year-old Don Wood has been a fixture in Kentucky golf circles.
The easygoing gentleman is well known to golfers in the area.
Since 1961, he's made the trip to Bardstown nearly every Sunday during the golf season to play golf with the likes of John Prewitt, Randall Burba, Haydon Spalding, Tommie Hurst and others.

The records will show that a flash of lightning early in the second quarter stopped the Marion County-Nelson County football game with the Knights leading 33-7.
However, lightning actually struck much earlier - on the game's first play from scrimmage when the Knights' Trey Downs took a hand-off from Mason Sullivan and scampered 51 yards for a touchdown.

Let us prepare for re-colonisation (1)
By Idang Alibi
If I were a man of some great consequence, I would have the audacity to say that Thursday the 20th of October, 2011 will go down in my diary as one of the saddest days in my life. For it was on that day that the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, one of the most nationalistic, intelligent, caring, responsive and responsible leaders among leaders of the developing nations, was killed and humiliated by imperialists powers under the guise of freeing the people of Libya from his dictatorship. My sorrow was so immense not only because a great leader and humanist was killed by the forces of greed and injustice, but because some members of the human family, including, unfortunately, some brain-washed citizens of Libya, did not know the import of what had, some years ago, happened in Iraq and which had now come upon Libya.
And who can blame those who do not understand the significance of what happened on Thursday 20th October? Being victims of several years of Western media propaganda which demonises any uppity Third World leader that the West cannot easily manipulate for their own purposes, it is hardly surprising that some people, including Libyans, were wildly jubilating and celebrating what they foolishly thought was the fall of Gaddafi, the deserved end of a dictator, a tyrant, a corrupt man, etc. But the truth of the matter is that the Americans, French and Britons who killed Gaddafi had no noble thoughts on their mind at all: that they were out to take out a man who was giving pains to some Arabs. As far as they are concerned it will be better if some crazy folk can kill off all the Arabs in Libya and leave the place empty for them to get their crude oil which is what all the adventure in Libya is about.
What took place that day was not the fall of Gaddafi as is erroneously being thought. What happened is another signpost that the world is being led back to the era of colonisation of various peoples adjudged by some unjust and greedy people to be primitive but who have the strategic resources that the West need for their industries back home. This, in reality, is what happened and, as I said, first, in Iraq and now it has been accomplished in Libya. And instead of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, some people were rejoicing? Is this not a case of ignorance being bliss? We are experiencing the beginning (in Iraq) and the consolidation (in Libya) of a people being subjected to the loss of their country, their freedom and the resources which God is his infinite wisdom gave to them yet, some are so ignorant and so blissful of their impending bondage?
Western powers who feel entitled to all the resources of the earth, are about again to begin a second colonisation of Africa, the Middle East and the rest of the ŌĆś'primitive world''. Remember that in recent times the West has been referring to Africa as the last frontier of resources in the world. This is a Freudian slip which reveals their covetous desire for the crude oil, gold and other strategic resources of Africa.
With the type of simple minded attitude of taking in and believing everything that our predators tell us about our leaders and their offer to ŌĆśhelp' us do away with them, we should just begin to prepare for re-colonisation because that is one of the guises they will hide under to invade our countries to install puppets who will rule us on behalf of the imperialists. Let me tell my people one truth: there are dictators everywhere. Our own may not be worse than those of Europe. The difference between our own dictators and those of Europe and America is that while our own may kill their own citizens who disagree with them, those of America order the killing of thousands of peoples of other countries who have no quarrel whatsoever with America. Please, may I know something: How many ordinary Afghans who cannot locate the map of their own country or that of America's on the world map and who have no quarrel whatsoever with America have been killed on the orders of Dictator Obama and other dictators of America before him? What are American soldiers doing in Afghanistan? When was there a vote that they should go there? Is that their country? Did the people of Afghanistan ask ŌĆś'democrat'' Obama to come to their aid against an aggressor? If they did not, what legitimate right does America have to be in that country? If they went to Afghanistan uninvited, theAmerica leader who gave the order for his troops to occupy that country is he a democrat or a dictator? Let someone please tell the simple son of Alibi the answer, please.
I am trying in my small way to puncture some of the fraudulent and fallacious arguments these imperialists put up to justify some of their costly adventures but which some among us who call themselves democrats, human rights activists, non-state actors, feminists and the likes, choose to buy and swallow spoon, fork and knife.
The Americans and the Europeans are in trouble and only their leaders know it. Many of the leaders and ordinary peoples of those continents have sold their souls to Satan. We live in a moral world and whether we believe it or not, there are consequences of our actions. The people have squandered the resources most of which they stole from other people through outright theft, piracy, unfair trade policies and living a life of insatiable greed fuelled by smart advertising in which most of their citizens, especially women, buy what they do not need but which they have been led to believe they must possess if they want to live a good life and be like the Jones across the street. Payback time for a life of greed and living on credit has come.
The politicians of those countries have unsuccessfully tried so many things for their countries to remain afloat but no dice. Imperialism in which an imperial power extracts the resources of client states is not bringing as much money and wealth and with as much speed as the West would like because some leaders of ŌĆśprimitive' countries like Saddam and Gaddafi are not pliable. The West is at its wit's end: they do not know what trick in the rule books to employ any more. The new option is therefore recourse to old-fashioned re-colonisation: re-colonise the countries of Africa, Latin America and Asia.
What strategy to adopt? Start with those countries with huge strategic resources but which have wise, intelligent, nationalistic and assertive leaders such as Saddam and Gaddafi who could act as obstacles. The calculation is that by such a strategy they can shock, destabilise, intimidate and overawe the rest. To be concluded next week.

@ K_Station
This shows that your understanding of your so called "global geopolitics" leaves a lot to be desired. I suggest decolonizing your mind first, then, may then, you could begin to understand what really happened and is happening in Libya, to start with. I leave it at that.

If Gaddafi had died in office, he wouldn't have left a legacy different from that which the Saudi, Quattari, Omani, Brunei, Bahrain ruling families have been leaving. The only difference is that Gaddafi refused to pulled around with a rope round his neck. Yes he did go to extreems, he did alling with terrorism, he did rule with Iron fist but the motives of his removal and assassination are far beyond those because I know that same guys who killed him and destroyed Libya will always go to bed and romance worst dictators if the economic arrangement suits their greedy desires. For your Information, there is apartheid in Palestine and Bahrain worse than what we had in South Africa and yet your so called promoters of democracy are deeply on the side of the villians.If there were oil in Somalia, we all know who will be incharge today. The wheel of bankcruptcy rolling out against Europe and USA is driving them into other forms of seeking survival and heading back to overun Africa is rith there on the plan. But Sorry for them because whatever they do China has their balls. It is now a competetion between those who physically work very hard and those who prefer to have more of good lives and less of hardwork. The Capitalist block ignored the warnings of Karl Max but now the world is naturally metamorphosing into a socialist arrangement. Hence we are now having the Occupy Movements spreading across USA and Europe.If the capitalist cannot check their greed tenedencies, then no amount of clandestine crusade shrouded in the cover of democracy and protection of human rights will hold out long enough for them to bounce back. The law of kamar is here!

all that rubbish you said is nonsense,
at no time did the west prevent africans from building sewage systems, farming to feed themselves, produce adequate amount of children.
Gaddafi was a tyrant, he had 42 years to fix his country but he did not and the monster he created and nurtured came back to destroy him. The same gaddafi killed more nigerian and african citizens than many western countries ever did.

I suggest you take your own advice first before dishing it out...lest the educated-illiterate ends up educating anyone else.
People like have only 2 groups to blame for your troubles, the west and your leaders...you cannot muster the mental courage to look inside you and see how dated and stale the mindset has become.
If anyone is colonizing anyone it is the Africans themselves, and of course with a "victim mindset" many who think like you don't stand a chance. they will always ben stuck in that time warp of conspiracy theories and innuendos.
How else will you ever move on when you are still in bed with with monsters like Gaddafi?
Re: Let us prepare for re-colonisation
Igwe posted on 11-12-2011, 16:20:43 PM
You call Gaddafi a monster, but OBJ killed more Nigerians than any non Nigerian ever did. Remember Odi and Zaki Biam? Indeed, the so called Libyan rebels were the ones who killed Nigerians and other black Africans and, yes, even black Libyans. Get your facts correct before you open your mouth to insult yourself.
Some people have no sense of history. Very soon you'll tell me that colonialism ended 50 yrs ago, thus exposing your ignorance even more. A few months ago in C├ā┬┤te d'Ivoire more than 3000 people were killed because France has an interest in who runs the country, that is, in who would protect their interest, so they used the UN and their powerful media to get rid of Gbagbo, and in the process killed thousands of people. I'm sure that was caused by us, wasn't it? Gbagbo should've surrendered to France without a fight! The elections in Nigeria were not in any way better than what happened in CI, but because there was no danger to the Western interests in Nigeria it was hailed as free and fair. Imagine for one second that it was Buhari as president who ILLEGALLY sacked Salami who was handling a petition against him? The West would have descended on him with all their might and people like you will be cheering them on. Buhari is an undeclared enemy of the West because he refused IMF and WB loans and such other imperialists institutions and meddling in the internal affairs of Nigeria.
People like you who think that everything the West does in Africa and around the world is wonderful are suffering from mental colonisation. Your colonized minds are the most potent weapon of the colonizers as Steve Biko rightly said.
More than 20,000 Libyans were killed by NATO bombs and all you're doing here is calling Gaddafi a monster. Omar Bongo stayed in power for longer and was a friend of France and West. His son who took over from him was recently received in the WH by Obama. Compared to some European Countries and the USA, Libya under Gaddafi was doing much better. Don't take my word for it, just look at the available data even from the UN itself. Compared to Nigeria, Libya under Gaddafi was light years ahead!!!!! You should condemn yourself first before condemning Gaddafi, going by your own argument. The undertakers known as IMF and the WB are now descending on Libya! In Nigeria your so-called govt is doing whatever they tell them to do, and even more! They routinely send in their agents to become your ministers, and top adivsers. So you have a president gloating about Obama commending him. When they say 'devalue your currency' the puppets will say 'yes sir;' when they say 'remove oil subsidies,' the puppets will say 'yes sir.'
And you who are an expert in Western benevolence in Africa, do you know that there was an election in Cameroun two weeks ago where the incumbent, Biya, 78 and in power since 30 yrs, just won another 7-yr term in an election that even France itself condemned as not free and fair? So why didn't they send their bombs to kill Camerounians? Because Biya is protecting their interests in Cameroun. Same is true of Burkina Faso and other places in Africa. Same is true of Nigeria under Jona boy, under IBB, under OBJ...
Decolonize your mind my dear, and then may be your criticism could make more sense and be more balanced. For now you're just singing your masters' song. A master who doesn't want your own good.
Nonsens and ingredients!

could someone provide the css to change the tagline font size on my site http://www.poodle-doodles.com?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
could someone provide the css to change the tagline font size on my site http://www.poodle-doodles.com?
Absolutely... in the style in question is found in the style.css file around line 289 and looks like this:
h2#site-description {
font:normal 14px arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 0.875rem;
Hopefully you are going to use a child theme to make modifications, or if you are using Jetpack, you can use the css editor instead. But, if you decide to edit the size directly, the second font size shown as 0.875rem will override the 14px value. So to make it easier for you, remove the rem line and then just change the 14px size.
SWEET!! thanks soooooo much. :))))
would you be able to tell me how to get my background image to appear at the top as it is on the bottom?
you will have to modify code for that ability, but the option (although not really the best way) is to add new css:
#page-top-bg {background: none!important; border-bottom: none!important;}
