Skip to comments.Hosts of ABC's The View GANG UP on Giuliani for Backing Bush (TRANSCRIPT & FREEP ALERT)
Posted on 09/01/2004 9:30:22 AM PDT by fight_truth_decay
The heated argument consumed nearly eight minutes, so space permits only some limited excerpts as provided by the MRC's Jessica Anderson who caught the August 31 exchange:
Joy Behar: "Did you really say that, 'Thank God he was our President'? That's the first thing you said? You didn't say 'Oh, expletive,' or something?"
Rudy Giuliani: "No, no, that wasn't the first thing I said. That's one of the things that I said on September 11th to my police commissioner. It really came out because that was just a few months after that disputed election, and so I had called the White House to ask for support, and I felt very, very comfortable that he was in the White House because I know him, and because I knew he would be tough about it."
Behar: "I know, but so would Al Gore. Don't you think he would have been as tough on it? Of course he would. Any President would respond."
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "I don't think so." [Audience applause]
Giuliani: "No."
Behar: "You don't?"
Giuliani: "No, I don't think there's any chance at all that Al Gore would have been as determined. I think Al Gore would have backed off now about four times with the kind of criticism that George Bush [trails off]" [Audience applause and boos] . Giuliani: "Taking out Saddam Hussein was critical to defeating global terrorism."
Vieira: "But one is terrorism and one is the particular war in Iraq, and that's what I think people are upset about, because we went to war believing there were weapons of mass destruction. I was at the demonstration there on Sunday, that's what people were talking about. There were mothers of soldiers there. People weren't arguing against terrorism, it was the war in Iraq in particular."
Giuliani: "There's a tremendous amount of emotion always against war, always. In 1863, New York had tremendous riots against the Civil War and against Abraham Lincoln because they didn't want to be in the Civil War anymore. A President has to be able to withstand that. He has to be able to stand up to that." . Hasselbeck: "It's a long process."
Giuliani: "The idea that taking out Saddam Hussein wasn't part of the War On Terrorism really misunderstands the War On Terrorism."
Behar: "No, but people say it was a distraction from going after bin Laden."
Giuliani: "No it wasn't! Saddam Hussein was one of the principal supporters of international terrorism. He was sitting on top of $4 billion or $5 billion, he had used weapons of mass destruction, and Abu Nidal, who killed Leon Klinghoffer and maybe about 25 other Americans and a hundred other people, was operating out of Iraq."
Behar: "So were the Saudis!" .
Giuliani: "But the reality of that, that followed a quote of John Kerry's about an $87 billion supplemental budget that was to support our troops. And John Kerry voted against it, and then he explained it by saying, 'Before I voted against it, I actually voted for it.'"
Hasselbeck: "Right."
Giuliani: "And it seems to me you can't have it both ways and that's what he's been trying to do."
Behar, not joking: "He change his mind based on nuance."
Giuliani: "Everybody changes their mind. He makes it a rule to change his mind."
Vieira: "But being consistent isn't necessarily right if you're wrong in the consistency. You can be consistent, but if you're-" [Audience applause]
Behar: "You could change your mind. You change your mind."
Giuliani: "Sure I do, occasionally, but I don't change my core principles." [Audience applause]
Jones: "Come on, Mr. Mayor. You stand at that podium and support that President when you disagree with almost everything the Party socially says. You don't change your core issues? That's not fair, Mr. Mayor." [Audience applause]
Giuliani: "No, those aren't, my core issues are the national defense of this country, national security, and the economy. To me those are the two things on which I assess candidates that have the biggest impact on us."
Jones: "What about patriotism, Mr. Mayor? Because you know, you quoted something the President said that scared me. You said, you quoted him as saying 'either you're with us or you're with the terrorists,' and the President did make that statement. Don't question people's patriotism because they don't believe in the war."
Giuliani: "I do not."
Jones: "We love America! So why would the President make that statement? That scared me."
Giuliani: "It shouldn't because the president made that statement on September 20th."
Jones: "I don't care if he made it yesterday."
Giuliani: "He made it on September 20th of 2001, just a few days after the horrible attack on this city and Washington, DC."
Jones: "But you quoted it last night, Mr. Mayor!"
Giuliani: "I quoted it and gave you the date, because this country was united then."
Jones: "Do you believe that?"
Giuliani: "This country was united in the effort to go after terrorists and prevent what happened from happening again."
Jones: "Do you believe that today? 'Either you're with the terrorists or you're with us' -- that's not American!"
Giuliani: "Of course it's American."
Jones: "No, it's not! With 'us' -- who is 'us'?"
Giuliani: "You're either with the Nazis or you're with us. You're either with the Communists or you're with us." [Audience members boo]
Jones: "No, that's still not fair, Mr. Mayor. I'm surprised at you."
Giuliani: "Well, I'm surprised at you."
Jones: "I'm surprised you would say that."
Giuliani: "The terrorists killed almost 3,000 of our people. So what side are you on? Are you on their side or are you on our side?"
Jones: "I am on the side of men and women fighting in Iraq right now, and I want us to support those people."
Giuliani: "You can't be on their side and be on the side of the terrorists."
Jones: "No, being against the war is not on the side of the terrorists, okay?"
Giuliani: "Nobody is saying you can't be against the war. Nobody is saying that."
Vieira: "The implication is that if you disagree, I think, with the administration that somehow you are on the side of the terrorists."
Giuliani: "That isn't who George Bush said that to, that isn't what it means. That's a way of misunderstanding what he's saying, which is what people do to him all the time."
Jones: "Well, please clarify it for us."
Giuliani: "No, I'm not going to clarify. You're either with the terrorists or you're with us."
Jones: "Why not?"
Giuliani: "Because there is no distinction."
Audience member yells out: "Who's 'us'?"
Giuliani: "'Us' is the United States of America. The terrorists are the people who kill innocent people, the people who killed people in Madrid."
Behar: "We agree with that."
Jones: "We agree with that."
Giuliani: "Good, now we agree. Then why try to misunderstand it?"
Vieira: "Can you be on the side of 'us' and also believe that the war in Iraq is flawed and wrong?"
Giuliani: "Yes."
Vieira: "Fine, fine, fine. So you're running for President in 2008, correct?"
+ Check the posted version of this item later this morning for a RealPlayer clip of the contentious session.
Vieira: "My sons didn't want to protest. They chose to not go, or even just experience it. I wish they had because it was peaceful, the New York City police department, phenomenal. They did such a wonderful job. They had 40,000 of them out there and the people that demonstrated I would say, by and large, there were a few probably, I didn't see anybody that was out of hand at all."
Star Jones: "Aren't you impressed that your kids made choices? You know, one son decided ideologically he just disagreed with you, and he didn't want to be there so that nobody could misinterpret his presence."
Barbara Walters: "It was interesting when you mentioned the war, that here it is, and instead of discussing the Iraq War that much, we're discussing Vietnam war 35 years later. Doesn't make any sense."
Vieira replied: "I know, I know."

I see this man knows how to deal with the imbuciles permeating the quisling media these days, huh?
...gotta love ol' Rudy, don'tcha?
I'm confident Rudy can hold his own. Go get 'em Rudy.
more to the story here .........from Media Research and external links as well. Thanks.
Bunch of washed up old women who have no sense of honor, duty, country, decency. May they rot in hell.
yes, and that other information could have been added to the existing thread. Having different threads for the same story just because a little information is added just clutters up the site and pushes down other threads.
Does anyone believe for one moment that Joy-less Behar was thinking.....oh I wish Al Gore was the president on that awful day?
I have always posted MRC and checked first for the Alert version posting duplicates on FR. I also try to add more to the comments. You are new I see. I have emailed Brent on our confusion. This is the first time the story has come out with 2 titles. It was not of my intent..so take it easy to me! ;(
Sorry for the confusion.
fight Truth decay
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
I have no clue who these folks are, but they're idiots.
Such a collection of nitwits with an aggregate IQ not too far exceeding the size of a large woman's shoe(Payless) are deserving of our pity.
Much more the people who get their opinions from them.
...sorry you are not that New! ;)
That one put Kerry down for the count.
Guiliani should have pointed out the "For or against us" line was directed at NATIONS that either align with us, or through their inaction and self-interest give aid and comfort to the enemy.
And Viera and the other Manhattanite airheads marching to oppose the president on the liberation of Iraq DOES give aid and comfort to the enemy, and emboldens them to keep spilling US blood to fire up the opposition to the war here in the US. Thanks Meredith, you friggin' ditz.
In this case, however, Giuliani has been clever to use those women to shape the political debate.
Now we are talking about the kind of leader to go after terrorists. Notice that the women start out defending Al Gore, as if he was capable of going after terrorists, but they quickly dropped that line of their defense because it is apparent and obvious to all that the Left doesn't have that sort of leader on tap.
But that's what the debate is now focusing on...the kind of leader who will relentlessly hunt down terrorists.
Because Giuliani has shaped the political battlefield to that of our choosing, we have already won. The Left can debate nuances all day long, that won't help them win on this battlefield.
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
Jones: "You know, one son decided ideologically he just disagreed with you, and he didn't want to be there so that nobody could misinterpret his presence."
I think all the quotes from the women on this show pretty much translate into "Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!" Gawdamighty, what a bunch of cackling brainless hens! I give Guiliani credit for sitting through it.
Giuliani: "The idea that taking out Saddam Hussein wasn't part of the War On Terrorism really misunderstands the War On Terrorism."
Behar: "No, but people say it was a distraction from going after bin Laden."
Giuliani: "No it wasn't! Saddam Hussein was one of the principal supporters of international terrorism. He was sitting on top of $4 billion or $5 billion, he had used weapons of mass destruction, and Abu Nidal, who killed Leon Klinghoffer and maybe about 25 other Americans and a hundred other people, was operating out of Iraq."
Behar: "So were the Saudis!" .
The proper response to this DNC/Michael Moore talking point is always "So then you support going to war against Saudi Arabia?"
no, I'm not, Ive been here since november of 2000 when rush mentioned free republic during the election dispute.
For the good of the board don't get territorial about 'your' threads. If there's an existing one, help the site by contributing to that one and not clogging up board with minor variations on the same article.
Every morning I go through all the threads since I last read the board and usually see many articles that are posted 2 or 3 times because people don't bother to check for duplicates before posting. Then we have 2, 3, or 4 threads each with it's own comments that is just wasting bandwidth and making it more expensive to operate the site. And the clutter wastes the time of people reading the site. It's inefficient.
I'm anxiously anticipating the roll call of celebrities who'll be calling for the carpet bombing of Riyadh.
It seems like they want to intentially misunderstand this statement. I think of it this way. Imagine two football teams in a game, the Cowboys and the Steelers. One of the players for the Cowboys criticizes the coach for bad play-calling. This does not mean he's 'with the Steelers'. However, if he begins rooting for the Steelers to win, then he IS. In fact, this is what some on the Left seem to do. They actually want the terrorists to win.
"Does anyone believe for one moment that Joy-less Behar was thinking.....oh I wish Al Gore was the president on that awful day?"
I sure do. Which is what gives me such worry about our future.
Here in L.A. we had some sort of local election with a couple of ballot measures shortly after 9/11 and I recall some old woman saying right there in the polling place how horrified she was that Clinton was no longer president and what are we going to do now?
Behar: "I know, but so would Al Gore. Don't you think he would have been as tough on it? Of course he would. Any President would respond."Sure Gore would have attacked Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from power and scooped up Al Qaeda members-- just like Bill did when Al Qaeda attacked us all those times. Oh, wait.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "I don't think so." [Audience applause]
Giuliani: "No."
Behar: "You don't?"
Giuliani: "No, I don't think there's any chance at all that Al Gore would have been as determined. I think Al Gore would have backed off now about four times with the kind of criticism that George Bush [trails off]" [Audience applause and boos] . Giuliani: "Taking out Saddam Hussein was critical to defeating global terrorism."
Again, we all will be alerted to our wasting the time of readers as well as the bandwidth thru our faux pas in posting.
Thanks again and...
You have a good day,

Brooklyn native.
Though overall it sure looks like Rudy put his foot in a few butts pretty hard, straight and true -- There is one thing I wish he would have said to further clarify the point about with-us-or-against-us:
Yes, you can have misgivings about the invasion of Iraq without being unpatriotic. It's the REASONS GIVEN for said misgivings/objections/dissent that determines whether you are patriotic or not.
For example: if you're a military wife with 5 mouths to feed and no family or support system to help you if your husband is KIA, I can understand being against invading Iraq.
But if you take the Michael Moore/Noam Chomsky/Jim McDermott/Hollywood line that the invasion of Iraq is more evidence that America is an inherently evil, corrupt, genocidal institution, then I don't know how much more UN-patriotic can get than that. Sheesh -- with "patriots" like that, who needs traitors?
The View, or as Hubby calls it "The Screaming Witches"
He pronounces "Witches" with a "B" though.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
LOL! Repeat, as needed.
Watching The View.
Edvard Munch's "The Scream":
Some uninformed viewers think the host's "views" are the actual facts on a subject. They use Barbara Walters's background and those of some of the hosts', as well, to present an image of a news team...with "giggles".
Some uninformed viewers think the host's "views" are the actual facts on a subject. They use Barbara Walters's background and those of some of the hosts', as well, to present an image of a news team...with 'giggles'."
True, and I used to be one of them 20 years ago. Any time a 60 Minutes or 20/20 "expose" came on the tube, their credibility with me was very high and I sat there wide-eyed because, hey -- these are 'serious news people' so this must really be a serious situation!
But after years of soaking up rather gratuitous (to say the least) hip Anti-American cynicism from people I knew and having it largely supported by these serious news people, I was at the tipping point. It had been grating against my North Carolina conservative value system (not to mention common sense) on a subconscious level and this frustration was finally bubbling to the surface.
Then I caught Rush one day on the radio -- and like most converts, I didn't like him at first.
But his slogan he used to say a lot in those days was to listen for 6 weeks and you would start to "get" the show definite applied. The braggadocio and bombastic-ness, I figured out at long last, was just a way to tweak lib noses, and when I understood it that way, it was hilarious.
I made it official in '92 when I registered Republican. I was never exactly a Joy Behar but I was a bit soccer-mommish (embarrassing for a guy).
They can revise their stories but they can't revise the truth.
I was there!
Hmmm. Perhaps he can have that lisp checked. ;)
Here, honey, let me help you bash those dishes. Say, can you bake me up at 6:00 tomorrow morning? I bonder what's on TV now?
"From my recollections, the dems were whispering among themselves that they were thankful it wasn't Gore.
They can revise their stories but they can't revise the truth.
I was there!"
I believe you. Gore was never nearly as solidly backed and loved by the Democrats as Clinton, but they had no choice since he was the sitting Veep and not nominating him would be admitting they made a mistake. But he was Clintonian vacillation and indecision without Clinton's charm and charisma (as is Kerry).
I'm not saying that none of the Democrats secretly prefer Bush against Al Qaeda & Co., only that I believe someone like Behar could be that way and that she is far from alone.
Pres Bush aimed his "With us or with the terrorists" statement at OTHER COUNTRIES, not the other political party! Here's the quote in context:
"And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
Behar: "I know, but so would Al Gore. Don't you think he would have been as tough on it? Of course he would. Any President would respond."
Al Bore said "I would have found out why they were mad at us."
Behar, your proctologist called, they found your head.
She was soon fired but it gives you an idea of the hatred for republicans that dwell in the hearts of these entertainment types.
Maybe her mailbox is overloaded. I'm guessing she's getting plenty of hate mail from leftist celebrities and media personalities for daring to break ranks with them in their pure hatred for Bush and the real America he represents.
I like Elizabeth Hasselbeck -- she needs to get OFF that show and get her own.
I'm emailing Elizabeth, as you suggest. She's always in the minority on The View whenever politics is "discussed." I saw Hillary Clinton on The View and the three idiots drooled as Hitlery told lie after lie. Only Elizabeth frowned and questioned her, though she was drowned out by the others. To reflect the approximately 50-50 split of the country, the show should at least have two Republican women on the panel.
Unfortunately the show is probably a pretty accurate depiction of voting women in this country. Leftism does pull at the heartstrings...
That lovely P. Diddy! I know he wants to party with those Bush twins again, attempt to weasel himself closer to George W. Bush. I hope it IS true that Laura refused to be photographed with him. Has to play this nonpartisan b.s. He doesn't exactly provide good music talent or anything else. I hate that loser.
In a perfect world, the View's cast is tossed into a Gulag (without make up artists) to carry on doing their "show."

Yarn-bombing… mushroom style! American artist Leigh Martin makes these little wooly fungi, and places them in nature. I wish she left them there for awhile, but I suppose that wouldn't be very eco-friendly. It sure would be cool to unexpectedly see her work while out for a leisurely walk in the woods! And with that, I wish you a happy weekend filled with outdoor {and artsy} adventure!
Ok. A few days ago, I saw these shoes on Pinterest, which of course sent me on a mad hunt to find more from this artist… and boy oh boy, did I! This is the work of French designer/artist Emilie Faif. Aren't these paintings on clothing lovely? Well, they're just the tip of the iceberg! Her portfolio is full of crazy installations and soft sculpture. After you stare at these for a few minutes, you have to go check them out!
Oh my. This is the lovely work of Washington State based artist Stasia Burrington. Washy drawings covered in flowers… flowers that happen to be hand-cut from quilt fabric, which are then glued on, resembling tattoos, gardens, or scars. Gorgeous! Oh, and I couldn't finish this post without showing my favorite image from the "drawing" section of her portfolio:
Sigh ♥
I'm sure you all know of American artist/knitta Magda Sayeg, the queen of knit-bombing, {I showed this bus in 2009, and I've seen her work featured all over the place} but today I saw this video for the very first time:
I don't know how to knit, but watching this on a Sunday afternoon made me want to make stuff. Colorful, happy stuff. Right now!!! I love it when I feel like that. So, ok, off I go to make stuff. See you there?
♥ City map quilts. Paris, New York, San Francisco… and your home town!
Gasp! So gorgeous! They are made by Haptic Lab, in Brooklyn. The company was started by architect/textiles designer Emily Fischer in 2009, but the "soft-maps" were originally part of an academic experiment in tactile wayfinding {2002}; the quilts were inspired by Emily's mother, Peggy, who had begun losing her eyesight from complications of glaucoma.
There are cities from all of the world available on their website, BUT you can get them to make custom quilts! Your favorite runs at your local ski hill, your tiny town, or have your house/address sewn right onto your street! YES!!! {This is in bold so that you don't skim over it, because you would hate to miss this part… I just know it.}
I already said Gasp, right? I just moved back to my tiny little home town, and you probably can't guess how badly I want my town map laid across my bed!!! {Answer: Badly!}
But wait, there's more… what better way to teach your baby a little local geography:
Love. So, so, so much.
{via Design Crush}
Wow. Stunning, detailed, beautifully-executed beadwork over portraits, photographed by Alfred Cheney Johnston, of actresses from the 20′s and 30′s. Latvian bead-artist Binka Rigava was recently commissioned to create these pieces for the newly remodeled restaurant & bar at at Hotel Monteleone, in New Orleans' historic French quarter. I got an email yesterday from a restaurant/hotel designer named Ashley Wilkins, who in partnership Lindsay Broad, {both of whom work at Puccini Group in San Francisco} were the amazing team on this project. They wanted to "commission art that would speak to the mystery and golden age of the hotel"… luckily, they found Binka's work on Etsy, and the rest is history!
{Speaking of history: Hotel Monteleone is a Literary and Historic landmark. The hotel has been open since before the 1930′s and has been written about in novels from authors like Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and many more. The carousel in the bar is existing and has been there for over 70 years. The carousel even slowly spins completing a full circle once every 15 minutes.}
Have a look:
Love with a capital L! I saw that final piece, titled Painted Pebbles I, on Pinterest the other day {via Meighan O'Toole} and absolutely loved it… so, of course, I dug a little further and found a whole bunch of work by New York based textile/printmaker Garima Dhawan that I loved just as much! Well, maybe not quite as much… I'm about to pop over to Society6 and order this:
Embroidery & crochet. On leaves. And rocks. And sticks.
Gah! My artistic mind is officially blown. These stunning little pieces are the work of Cornwall based artist Susanna Bauer, and yes, I am now planning to spend my weekend looking for leaves, and rocks, and sticks. Maybe I'll be able to convince Susanna to cover them in yarn! ♥
Gasp! Can you imagine seeing this rainbow in person?! If you did, that means you were in Como, Italy for Miniartextil, and that you were one of the lucky people to see this unbelievable thread installation by Mexican artist Gabriel Dawe. If you were, in fact, one of those people, you're officially added to my list of people to be jealous of! This. Is. Stunning!
{via My Modern Met}
Whoa. An embroidered "carpet", on a wall, partly finished, and then stretched across the room. This insane installation is the work of Faig Ahmed. He is a master of textiles, and clearly has a thing for carpets… and I have a thing for his work! Not only has he created this beautiful embroidery installation, but there's also this:
A wooden wave, covered in a woolen, handmade carpet. Whoa… x 2. Oh, and also, this:
A 'stretched' handmade carpet. Whoa… x 3. And on that crazy beautiful note, I hope you all have a lovely weekend ~ see you on Monday!
{first installation via the artful desperado, other images found on Faig's portfolio site}

When you're traveling, every inch of suitcase space and every ounce of weight matters. The ideal hair dryer to take with you is as small and light as possible—ideally with a fold-up handle to fit into an even smaller space. However, there are tradeoffs to consider as hair dryers this small are liable to be underpowered and somewhat flimsy. We didn't find nearly as many recommendations for travel hair dryers as we did for salon hair dryers and cheap hair dryers that are full-sized, but a few good choices do emerge.
At the top of the list is the Revlon Perfect Heat Fast Dry Compact Dryer (Est. $15). Though small enough for travel, it offers many of the features you'd expect to see on a full-sized dryer. The 1,875-watt dryer has both ceramic coating and tourmaline technology for even heat distribution, as well as the all-important cold shot button for setting a style and improving shine. It also has additional features that are important specifically for travel, including a folding handle and a dual-voltage switch, so you can use it in countries that use different outlet voltages. On the downside, it has only two settings, high and low, so you can't combine high speed with low heat.
Good Housekeeping names the Revlon Perfect Heat as the runner-up in its June 2013 test of travel hair dryers, describing it as "quiet, fast, and easy to use." Editors also note that their consumer testers found the dryer comfortable to hold and say it left their hair smooth and shiny. Reviewers at Amazon.com tend to back up these claims. In over 140 reviews, the product earns an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5. Owners love its small size and weight, folding handle, and dual-voltage switch. Most also say it's quite powerful for its size, without being harsh on hair.
On the down side, we saw quite a few complaints about this hair dryer's reliability. Several owners say it simply quit working after anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. Others complain that it gets uncomfortably warm to hold and use. Reviewers also gripe about the Revlon's limited power settings and the design of the on/off switch, which many users find really difficult to grip. But, while these issues might make most think twice about using the Revlon Perfect Heat as their primary home hair dryer, they aren't outside the norm of what we spotted for any travel hair dryer, at a price of less than $15, it's cheap enough to be a great alternative for those who want an occasional use dryer strictly for travel.
We also found a couple of other travel hair dryers with generally positive reviews, but also some drawbacks to consider. For example, the Conair Cord-Keeper Compact Styler (Est. $25) earns an overall rating of 7.9 out of 10 in a survey of users at TotalBeauty.com, 4.3 stars out of 5 among BestBuy.com users, and 3.9 stars out of 5 at Amazon.com. What owners at all sites love most about this dryer is the "cord keeper" feature, which keeps the cord snugly tucked up and out of the way when it's not in use. They also say the 1,875-watt dryer is a convenient size for travel and packs enough power to dry hair quickly, while its ionic technology fights frizz effectively.
However, while we didn't see this reflected elsewhere, this dryer had many complaints at Amazon.com about its reliability—and in some cases, its safety as well. We found several reviews saying that the Conair shorted out, resulting in a broken dryer at best and a fire at worst. This is concerning, but we didn't note similar comments at other user review sites, and the Cord Keeper has not been the subject of any recalls that we could find.
Another product that's worthy of a mention is the Conair Minipro Tourmaline Ceramic Styler (Est. $15). This amazingly lightweight hair dryer—just 0.6 pounds—was the top pick in Good Housekeeping's tests and also earned a recommendation from Lucky magazine, as well as generally positive feedback at Amazon.com -- 4.2 stars based on more than 525 reviews. It would easily have been our Best Reviewed pick in this category if not for one problem: it appears that Conair no longer makes it. As of this writing, it's still available at Amazon.com, but it's not clear how long that will last.

Eric D. Larson
Senior Research Engineer
Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment
Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544
Phone: (609) 258-4966
Fax: (609) 258-7715
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Abbreviated CV
Larson is a senior member of the Energy Systems Analysis Group at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University and an affiliated senior researcher in the University's Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy Program of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Larson also spends some time with Climate Central (http://www.climatecentral.org/), a non-profit, non-partisan science and media organization created to provide clear and objective science-based information to diverse audiences about climate change and its potential solutions.
Larson's research interests include engineering, economic, and policy-related assessments of advanced clean-energy systems, especially for electric power and transport fuels production from carbonaceous fuels (biomass, coal, natural gas) and for efficient end use of energy. His work addresses technologies of relevance to developed and developing countries. He has participated in collaborative research efforts with colleagues across the United States, and in Brazil, Cuba, India, Italy, Jamaica, Sweden, and elsewhere. He collaborates on analysis of low-emission energy strategies and technologies for China with colleagues at Tsinghua University and North China Electric Power University (Beijing).
He is also involved in research efforts focusing on analysis of production and conversion systems for modernizing renewable-biomass as an energy source, including advanced gasification-based technologies for power generation (various advanced gas turbine cycles) and for production of transportation fuels. These efforts have included assessments of potential gas-turbine based biomass electricity supply and use in sugarcane industries, in pulp and paper industries, and in stand-alone electric power generation.
Larson supervises graduate and undergraduate thesis research and occasionally teaches courses in the engineering and in the public policy schools at Princeton.

In March of 2005 Josie Merck and Wendy Wilder Larsen traveled to Baja California, to the San Ignacio Lagoon, to see firsthand where gray whales are born, and where mothers present their calves to the...

This pristine birthing lagoon was saved from being developed into a huge salt plant planned by the Mexican and Japanese governments, thanks to the efforts of many individuals, companies, school children and non-profit groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council. Moved by the adventure each recorded her joy and astonishment: Merck with paintings, charcoal drawings and collages, and Larsen with poems.

Living La Vida Loca: When the Dream of a Life in Mexico Becomes Reality
eBook (PDF): $13.99
This book is for anyone who has ever thought, even fleetingly, of making a life as a "snowbird", or even as a full-time resident, in the warm climes of Mexico. Just what is it like to... More > make that dramatic step? What is the reality of the dream? What should I know before I take steps to make it real, or decide it's just not for me? There are several books that cover the physical mechanics and issues of living in Mexico. The more interesting and critical issues are those of being able to align yourself psychologically with the demands and opportunities of life in Mexico. So this book is about the internal experience of life as a foreign resident in Mexico. It looks at what drives people to come here, what surprises they found, how they cope with and grow from the experience, how reality compares to their expectations, and what they would do differently knowing what they do now. 79 pages, 13 photos< Less

Birmingham, Alabama has the Ringling Bros. Circus going on..... TONIGHT!
Over a year ago
I do not know any people who are going to this to protest only people who are going to see this 'fun for the family' event.
I wish I could go to the protest which is going on tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday but since I can't I hope some of my fellow Alabamians will take a stand against this madness.

I love many things that IW has done with Call of Duty, especially Spec Ops and the multiplayer. Adding in extra bonuses, callsigns, and emblems was a step in the right direction, but the campaign falls a bit short.
For the most part, I enjoyed it, but at other times, it seems to try to hard to one up its predecessor. My first gripe has to be with Roach himself. IW knows that when the player gets hit, knocked down, or is facing impending doom, that it adds tension and excitement, but in MW2, Roach manages to get knocked out any chance he gets. It is done to death to the point where it starts becoming predictable and stops making people say "oh crap." I doubt that there were many people surprised to see Roach get knocked out by the mortar fire while he's on the way to get killed by Shepherd (that one was pretty shocking. The scene left me pissed off and wanting to give Shepherd what he deserves).
Then there's the ending. In the first Modern Warfare the story ends nicely, wrapping itself up while leaving enough open to permit for a direct sequel. Modern Warfare 2 could have ended the same way, but they decided to add "Da, I know of a place." I really hate it when game designers add that last second quip of info. It is such a cheap copout in games nowadays that is done to ensure that there is enough interest in the title to get a lot of hype for sequels or DLC packs. The biggest issue I have with that line is that MW2 doesn't need one at all. If the story would have ended with Soap being carried off by Price and Nikolai, there would be a better close while leaving enough left open (How are Soap and Price going to clear their names?).
I know this is just me being nit picky about the campaign and that this has nothing to do with the rampant campfest in multiplayerm, but the campaign in Modern Warfare was so nicely done that it is sad to see that the campaign in MW2 does not do as well.

O'Brien was knocked out cold in the build up to Saints' second try in the first half of the Super League clash at Stade Gilbert Brutus, which the visitors won 26-6, after he was taken out by New Zealander Taia in an off-the-ball challenge.
St Helens boss Nathan Brown described the tackle as "disgraceful" and Taia now faces a suspension of two to three games.
Taia's Catalan team-mate Mickael Simon and Saints' Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook have both been charged with Grade A punching offences from the same game while Hull KR's Lincoln Withers has been charged with a Grade B dangerous contact on Wigan full-back Ryan Hampshire.
All four players have until 11.00am on Tuesday, August 6 to submit Early Guilty Pleas in relation to the offences.

text: There's no doubt businesses are starting to realize the broader marketing potential of location-based check-ins. We've seen hotels using Topguest, for example, to reward consumers for checking in at a variety of locations; we've also seen HBO rewarding "check-ins" to select TV shows. The latest spotting? Shopkick, an app that goes beyond check-ins to reward consumers for actually walking into a store.

May 6, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- College Football Performance Awards, the largest awards organization in D-I college football, recently announced its watch list for the 2013 CFPA FCS Quarterback Award, and San Diego quarterback Mason Mills earned a spot on the list. The preliminary watch list highlights thirty-two returning performers, vying for the top quarterback honor in the Football Championship Subdivision.
"Congratulations to Mason Mills on earning a spot on the 2013 CFPA Watch List," stated CFPA Executive Director Brad Smith. "Mills will likely play an important role in San Diego's success in 2013."
Last season Mills was tabbed the team's Most Valuable Player as well as a second team All-PFL performer. For the season Mills completed 252-of-360 passes for 3,106 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 70.0% completion percentage was the top mark among all FCS players this season. He also ranked 5th in passing efficiency (154.26) and 21st in total offense (270.91 yards per game). A two-time PFL player of the week recipient, Mills played a key role in the team finishing out the year with six straight victories and their second straight share of the PFL championship.
All CFPA recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions; players are not preemptively eliminated from consideration.
Currently, there are 111 CFPA recipients listed on official 2013 NFL rosters. More than 130 CFPA recipients have signed professional contracts, and twenty-one have been first-round NFL Draft selections. Past CFPA recipients include: Colin Kaepernick, Trent Richardson, Dez Bryant, Von Miller, Patrick Peterson, Earl Thomas, Blair Walsh, Dennis Pitta, and C.J. Spiller.
Last season, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel earned the 2012 CFPA National Performer of the Year Trophy, while Harvard quarterback Colton Chapple earned the 2012 CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year Trophy. Multiple award presentations were broadcast live nationally on ESPN, CBS, Fox Sports, Big Ten Network, Pac 12 Network, as well as internationally on BYUtv.

DOOM may have set the standard, but it was Serious Sam that first truly reinvented the twitch shooter genre in that glorious, fully 3D experience. Painkiller follows the same ideology: lots of shooting, no thinking, plenty of graphical flare. Travel around the world enjoying the scenic beauty of God's greatest creation and then kill the pain of tortured demons and devils that want to ruin the party. Kill, kill, kill.

Marriage after 60….or just live together?
October 15, 2009 at 3:45 pm in Family & Relationships, Love & Sex by Sunblossom
At the ages of 60 and 67 and having been together 6 years, my significant other and I do not discuss marriage, and for the most part it is all working well–except for the constant questioning and pressure from co-workers and acquaintances about then the "big event" might happen. Any thoughts on marriage after 60??

It's a lite spring here, with babies on the way for two important members of the Guster team. Follow us on Instagram for photos of Luke and Dave holding swaddled infants in the coming months.
In the meantime, since it's a Guster Holiday (Jesus On The Radio Day) (March 16th) (5AM), we're introducing a limited edition Guster-t-shirt-that-doesn't-even-say-Guster-on-it.
It's a good-lookin' shirt and I am dashing as a t-shirt model:
We really really wanted to make this show happen, people of Philadelphia. Alas, the timing of this blizzard is terrible and it's just not safe to be on the roads Saturday. The show will happen on June 16th instead, after another round of Guster babies (Luke) (Dave), and we will all be six months more musical by then – your January 23 tickets will still be honored, so if you plan to come see us all you have to do is show up! If you can't make it, refunds are available at point of purchase. We're gonna make it worth the wait and then some. Hunker down and be safe y'all!

Welcome to Surrey Gymnastic Society
RecreationalIn B.C. alone, over 93 percent of our gymnasts come to a club for an hour of recreational classes once or twice per week. There they learn the basic body movement patterns that are part of physical literacy. Only a small percentage of Gymnastics BC's 36,000 gymnasts will ever take part in a competition, at any level.
Womens CompetitiveWomen's artistic gymnastics, a combination of power, strength, artistry and courage remains one of the most prestigious of women's sports today. It is a valuable foundational sport for overall athletic development and at the highest international levels, some call it the most extreme of all sports.

The rep demanded that I let him into my home to get the computer, I told him NO and that it was paid for. He called me a liar and this man than shoved his way into my home and went into the living room and took the computer from the desk! I did not let him in, he SHOVED me to get in! The neighbor called the police, they did nothing.
The rep LIED and stated to the police that I let him in and that they have been to my home 9 times this month. They have not come over once! I wrote a letter to the BBB and to the corporate offices of Aarons. I want everyone to know how much they are not customer service orientated, they could care less.
I didnt even get an apology from anyone when I proved them in the wrong!! I didnt get my computer back either! I am having to take them to court and file a civil lawsuit to get my money returned. I dont recommend that anyone trust these horriable people and NEVER rent from them.
