Washington Religious workers can't sue for job discrimination, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, saying for the first time that churches — not courts — are the best judges of whether clergy and other religious employees should be fired or hired.
But the high court tempered its decision bolstering the constitutional separation of church and state by refusing to give a detailed description of what constitutes a religious employee, which left an untold number of workers at churches, synagogues and other religious organizations still in limbo over whether government antidiscrimination laws protect them in job bias disputes.
It was, nevertheless, the first time the high court has acknowledged the existence of a so-called "ministerial exception" to anti-discrimination laws — a doctrine developed in lower court rulings. This doctrine says the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion shields churches and their operations from the reach of such protective laws when the issue involves religious employees of these institutions.
"The interest of society in the enforcement of employment discrimination statutes is undoubtedly important," Chief Justice John Roberts said in a unanimous opinion. "But so too is the interest of religious groups in choosing who will preach their beliefs, teach their faith and carry out their mission."
Douglass Laycock, who argued the case for a church school that fired a teacher for bringing about an employment discrimination lawsuit against it, called it a "huge win for religious liberty."
"The court has unanimously confirmed the right of churches to select their own ministers and religious leaders," he said.
The court's recognition of the ministerial exception likely ends any chance members of the clergy and church leaders have to sue churches and other religious organizations for job discrimination, experts say. The U.S. Census identified 429,000 Americans as members of the clergy in 2010.
"Clergy who are fired for reasons unrelated to matters of theology — no matter how capricious or venal those reasons may be — have just had the courthouse door slammed in their faces," said Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United.
But there need to be future court rulings to spell out exactly which other church employees fall under this ruling, like teachers and instructors at religious schools. Some teachers will and some teachers won't, said Rick Garnett, associate dean and professor of law at Notre Dame Law School.
"There are going to be some employee relationships involving religious institutions that are not religious at all, and those are not going to be covered" by the court's ruling, Garnett said. "But there are going to be some that are religious, even if they are not ordained clergy, and they are going to be covered. The way the court put it was that some employees are essentially involved in the religious mission of the institution and those employees are covered."

Righthander Scott Feldman, the Astros' presumed opening day starter, gave up three runs over four-plus innings Sunday afternoon against the Washington Nationals.
Feldman gave up eight hits, including two home runs by Steven Souza Jr. He also struck out five and hit a batter while throwing 50 of his 82 pitches for strikes.
"I'm still working on things and trying to get that command going to where I know where the ball is going a little better," he said. "But I made some mistakes, and they hit fly balls. Especially out here in spring training they're going to go a long way."
Souza hit a 3-2 curveball for a solo home run to left in the second. Then he hit a fastball for a leadoff homer to left in the fourth.
"I thought the first one he hit pretty good," Feldman said. "The second one he hit it good, but it was just so high. I don't know. It was a bad pitch. Just tip your cap. He hit it good."
Manager Bo Porter said he expects to reveal his opening day starter this week. When asked if the team had informed him of the opening day nod, Feldman would only say that the team hasn't announced that yet. Then he said he would plead the fifth on that question.

The role of the professional test engineer determines how to create a process that would test a particular product in manufacturing, quality assurance or related areas, in order to assure that the product meets applicable specifications. They are essential in the IT industry to ensure that an automated product is working according to plan. In short, they are responsible for ensuring that new products and design or production changes to existing products meet design objectives.
Engineers operate in a range of different environments, from testing plant and machinery to the testing of new electronic devices or software applications. Typical duties might include maintaining a safe working environment, designing prototypes, reviewing test solutions with partnering test engineers, analysing infrastructure requirements, managing, training and supporting operators, debugging and isolating problems and writing test procedures and plans. Other opportunities for test engineers are specialised fields within test engineering, usually on very large or highly specialised jobs, for example, software applications testing, quality test engineers, technical test engineers, communications test engineers, and production test engineers.
Test engineers need to be flexible, thorough, self-motivated and have good communication, IT and problem-solving skills.

A Sociology of Happiness
Edited by: Kenji Kosaka
Written by the sociologists at Kwansei Gakuin University who are engaged in 'Social Research for the Enhancement of Human Well-being,' this study explores issues of happiness from a wide variety of sociological perspectives. It includes: a meta-analysis of suffering; an axiomatic approach to constructing an index for measuring social suffering from an utilitarian perspective; a proposal for a new qualitative methodology for social science research; a Nietzschean analysis of happiness; a proposal to codify linguistic rights drawing on notions of the universal right to pursue well-being; an analysis of the role of folklore in articulating a society's implicit understandings of happiness and suffering; a critical exploration of the impact of social surveillance on happiness; and a clinical sociological approach to happiness and unhappiness.

As an 87 year old school we have accumulated many traditions. Although we revel in our traditions we are not afraid to venture into uncharted territory embracing innovative programs and teaching methods. The intentional balance of tradition and innovation is one of things that makes Crane work.
Our traditions build our sense of community and provide a predictability and constancy that our students find comforting. Some of our traditions have carried through since the schools inception in 1928 such as daily assembly and the Eighth Grade current event presentations and many started as innovations eventually becoming essential components of our program such as Crane families, singing "happy birthday" in daily assembly, the Upper School day of service, Lower School Spring Study Week, Music Hour, the Thanksgiving Feast, the seventh grade QED project, and the Upper School xylophone ensemble: Vibes.
At Crane, innovations emerge both organically and by design. Hands-on learning opportunities permeate the program such as the cross-curricular integration of the Seventh Grade towers project co-instructed by our science and art teachers incorporating the mathematical and scientific elements of building as well as the artistic and aesthetic elements of architecture.

I loved going down to the local cricket club with friends and family, we used to know everyone there, all the local schools etc used to advertise it and there was a really sense of community. In recent years the bigger displays seem to be attracting more people and our little community seems to be getting smaller...its a shame I think!
I saw a blog on the gardencommunity.co.uk website about how traditions such as bonfire night change and evolve too,...I just hope that the community aspect in all our festivals dont dissapear and turn in to one big money making circus!
oh and P.S is it just my family that have a home cooked chilli on bonfire night tradition??? lol

During the Hunter Mountain Triathlon a few weeks ago I encountered a really, really unhappy guy on the run portion of the race.
He was messing with his heart rate monitor/GPS/watch thingee the whole time I was near him. Streams of profanity flowed from his lips like a river as he stared down at the misfunctioning doo-hickey.
He was not having fun and wasn't fun to be around. This provided ample motivation for me to speed up just to get away from him. I wanted to tell him maybe his energy would be better off used on, you know, racing instead of fiddling with the gadget.
I had taken my bike computer off my bike for the race and the episode encouraged me to leave it off. Just as an experiment, I left it sitting on the kitchen counter.
I would just ride. Not obsess about doing a ride while keeping my pace above 20 miles an hour. Not taking the long way home to get my bike computer to read 50 miles instead of 49.3.
If I have three hours for a ride, I'll go out for an hour and half then turn around and try to make it back in the same time and figure out the distance when I get home. In short, I just ride now.
Going fast still feels good, even if I don't know how fast it is. Riding a long way is still fun even if I'm not sure how long until I get home.
I read the same magazines and training manuals that you probably do. The pros track their heart rate and elevation gained and time and Chrissie Wellington-knows what else.
But I'm not a pro. I do this for fun so I'm going to cycle Amish for a little while longer. I'm sure I'll put the computer back on, eventually … maybe.

I have been looking high and low around localy for a 5/16 32 NEF tap for the main jet (emulsion tube) hole an the flo-jet 2 piece carb. I stumbled across the Briggs Part # 19245. It includes a 1/4 - 32 NEF tap for the low idle jet as well. Listed as $ 15.95 internet price. Most small engine guys I have talked to said that once the threads are stripped they are ruined. One old guy as well as a member or two here have stated that you can save the carb by retaping it. I have two that are stripped and I want to try to save them. They are like hens teeth around here. No one has any used or abused. I bought an engine a couple of years ago and the carb was stripped. It is the best of the two I have and I really think it can be saved. I also will order the proper screwdriver for the main jet also. Once I get them and ge them done i will let ya know how it works out. Probably should of put this with my other post for carb help. thanks. Roger.

Educators from Around the Globe Grapple with Same Issue: How to 'Teach' Ethics
June 15, 2004
Bentley faculty met last month with counterparts from around the world during a groundbreaking 10-day Global Gadfly Workshop. This pilot program in business ethics initiated an international network of educators dedicated to helping students raise their ethical awareness and ability to make rational, ethical choices in the business world.
The workshop was the first-ever global version of Bentley's long-running internal "Business Ethics Gadfly Workshop," established in 1991 by Bentley's internationally-recognized Center for Business Ethics.
The gadfly reference "dates back to Socrates who described himself as a gadfly, a stinging insect, whose purpose was to harass and sting the citizens of Athens out of their ignorance and intellectual complacency," said Robert Frederick, Bentley professor and Chair of Philosophy and a workshop co-facilitator.
The global session drew visiting scholars from Budapest University (Hungary), the University of Pretoria (South Africa), the Norwegian School of Management (Sandvika, Norway), York University (Toronto, Ontario), IAE (Argentina), L'Ecole de Management de Lyon (France), DePaul University (Chicago) and Western Washington University (Bellingham, WA).
"The entire workshop went well beyond any expectations we had," said co-facilitator Tony Buono, professor of Management and coordinator of the Bentley Alliance for Ethics and Social Responsibility. "We now have the beginnings of a great international network. It was a wonderful opportunity to get perspectives from people of different cultures and from different parts of the world. The reality is that we're all grappling with similar issues: As educators, how do we capture the attention of our students and bring the issue of ethics to bear in the educational experience?"
Workshop presenters included Center for Business Ethics founder and Executive Director Mike Hoffman; Barbara Kipp, Global Ethics and Business Conduct Leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers; and Ed Petry, executive director of the Ethics Officer Association.
Since a majority of attendees were not ethicists, one goal of the workshop was to immerse educators in ethics training in order to broaden their understanding of ethics concepts, analysis and application in their respective courses. The workshop offered a balance of ethical theory and hands-on practice in analyzing cases and other teaching materials from ethical and discipline-based perspectives.
"The goal of ethics education is to give people the knowledge, skills and judgment they need to grapple with very tough ethical problems that all of us face at some time or another," said Frederick, who noted that most ethical problems are very complex and charged with deep disagreement about the morally right thing to do. "There is no easy, common sense solution that moral inclination delivers to everyone. To suppose that an alleged inclination will somehow rescue us from these problems, or that we learned what to do about them at our parents' knee, is to deny our own moral autonomy and responsibility."
Lea Dippenaar, an ethics lecturer at the University of Pretoria, said one of the most valuable aspects of the workshop was "sharing ideas with peers and getting a better perspective on how ethics is incorporated in various fields and getting an idea of how countries and continents differ as to our understanding of ethics, as well as the teaching methodology used."
"The workshop not only helped me to be more aware of the ethical and moral implications of the accounting profession but to apply it faithfully and professionally," said Charles Malgwi, Bentley Assistant Professor of Accounting. "This is essential for every profession in strengthening the code of honor."
The Global Gadfly pilot will be followed up by a more intensive global workshop in business ethics at Bentley, tentatively scheduled for 2005.
"When you don't make ethics the central focus of business education, things can go awry," concluded Buono. "If we interweave ethical issues into what we teach will students make the right decisions in school and out in the real world? I don't know. But our hope is that the discussion will expand the decision logic that students go through and get them to think about problems from a different vantage point, to consider alternative perspectives so that they make better decisions as they begin to look at a problem. That's what we attempt to do when we talk about business ethics."

A nonprofit educational and consulting organization, its vision is a world in which all businesses contribute positively to society through their ethically sound and responsible operations. The Center has sponsored ten major conferences on business ethics, the first in spring 1977, attracting hundreds of national and international leaders and scholars from a variety of constituencies. The Center also provides a variety of publications, research and teaching materials, as well as consulting services. Its board of advisers is comprised of senior corporate executives.

The Legendary Peter Tosh Honored
- Written by Reggae 141
- Read 1536 times
Dr Michael Barnett, who lectures at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, got involved with the annual Peter Tosh Symposium in 2010. It is unlikely that anyone, even with the aid of Tosh's Crystal Ball, would have seen a posthumous Order of Merit (OM) for the late singer and musician in Jamaica's 50th year of Independence. So when the 2012 staging of the symposium takes place this evening at the Neville Hall Lecture Theatre on the Mona campus, the award, officially handed over on Monday, will loom large. "We are going to basically consider - because to some people it is controversial - the question is if Peter would accept the award or not. Herbie Miller will speak to that," Barnett said.
Miller is part of a panel that includes Tosh's children Niambe and Andrew, Professor Carolyn Cooper and Dr Clinton Hutton. The symposium starts at 6 p.m. This is the second consecutive year that members of Tosh's family will be speaking at the symposium, Dave doing so last year.
However, in looking at Tosh's music, Barnett makes a comparison with the current output of Jamaica's popular performers, saying "It is also a time to reflect on the music now, the state of the music, what is being produced now, and what was being produced in Peter's time".
Barnett points to Tosh's lyrical content as "outstanding". And it is not Tosh alone, as Barnett said he has done presentations which also explore the lyrics of Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear and Bob Marley, "not singing the lyrics, but reading them as text".
He said he teaches a course on the African Diaspora in which he utilises the lyrics of Tosh's African. "Tosh was very Pan-African in his outlook, especially on the Equal Rights album," Barnett said. "Even today, many people don't consider themselves African." So Tosh's African still stirs debate, as does his stance on marijuana, most notably in Legalise It.
"There are so many talking points and social issues when you look at Peter's lyrics. When you look at artistes today, you have a few (dealing with social issues), but not as many," Barnett said.
Barnett describes himself as "just a great fan of Peter. That is my motivation, I would like to think I am contributing to the legacy, the memory of Peter's legacy. I did some work with the family. It is not just coincidence that family members are on the bill. They want to push their father's legacy".
However, while there is heightened interest in Tosh this year with the OM as well as it being 25 years since he was murdered, there is the matter of sustainability. Barnett said "part of the sustainability happens when people come together to push that legacy. I think you have enough people out there, but it is about combining energies. Sustainability is not a given".
"The other thing is - and I think this is a project in itself - is to introduce Peter and that generation of artistes to the youth. Some of them are not familiar with that generation of artistes from the 1970s and 1980s," Barnett said.
Looking ahead, Barnett has a Wailer on his wish list of presenters. "I would like Bunny Wailer to talk, to give a perspective. Not a musical tribute, but speak, his memory of Peter. That would be beautiful," Barnett said.

Council members also hired Jordon Rouse to fill a general
maintenance position.
After a lengthy closed-door session, the council choose one
of the two finalists. The city had received 53 applications
for the job, Sanders noted.
While other water providers have initiated drought
contingency plans, Eustace utility director Gene Burns noted
that Eustace has plenty of water.
With the fourth well at Stockard, drilled through two water
tables and capable of pumping 140 gallons per minute, the
city has much more water than it needs.
On average, the city is using 53,000 gallons per day, Burns
said, well below the city's trigger point of 402,000 gallons
per day to initiate Stage 1.
At Burns' suggestion, the council updated its drought
contingency plans to include the fourth well. The trigger to
initiate Stage 1 is set at 88 percent of total capacity of
four wells, instead of three wells.
On a related matter, Burns pointed out the work being done
throughout the city to fix pipe breaks, due to ground
movement related to the dry conditions.
"The water department needs tools to do the work more
efficiently," he said.
The council approved expenditures up to $3,500 for the
purchase of a metal detector, pipe cutter, electric pump and
generator, work lights and a gas-powered saw.
In other business, the council:
• agreed to purchase asphalt up to $3,000.
• reinstated the city's members in the Texas Rural Water
• agreed to renew a collections contract with Henderson
County Tax Office at 90 cents per parcel.
• tabled discussion on the FY 2011-12 budget.
Debt Ceiling agreement is
step in right direction
More steps needed to balance budget
By Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
Special to The Monitor
WASHINGTON–The debt ceiling agreement recently passed by
Congress and signed into law by the President, while not
perfect, is a step in the right direction.
Sensible spending cuts, not tax increases, are the right
path to a balanced budget. Here's the quick outline of the
The agreement will cut nearly $1 trillion in federal
spending during the next 10 years.
It also sets up a joint Congressional committee to recommend
additional cuts of 1 trillion to 2 trillion.
The Committee's recommendations must be finalized by Nov. 23
and must be approved or disapproved by Congress before Dec.
23, or $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts would be
triggered, starting in 2013.
The only alternative to across-the-board spending cuts is
Congressional approval of the Balanced Budget Amendment,
which would require Congress and the White House to balance
the federal budget.
I am a co-sponsor of the cut, cap and balance legislation,
which includes the Balanced Budget Amendment.
It would reduce federal spending by as much as $6 trillion
dollars over 10 years.
Unfortunately, it did not pass the Senate. I believe this
legislation would have best served our nation's long-term
economic and national security interests.
The final debt limit agreement, although more limited in
scope, is a step in the right direction.
The agreement rejects the tax-and-spend policies advocated
by the White House and Democrat-controlled Senate and takes
constructive steps in the direction of fiscal
When the debt ceiling debate began several months ago,
President Barack Obama called for a "clean" debt ceiling
bill. This would have given the Obama administration a blank
check to raise the national debt and increase spending by
trillions of dollars.
It would have enabled the administration to follow through
on its stated intention to finance its continued spending
spree by boosting taxes to the highest levels in modern
American history.
Fortunately, America's common sense prevailed. Faced with a
wave of opposition from across the county, the U.S. Senate
unanimously rejected the Obama budget plan, (97-0).
After months of political posturing and maneuvering aimed at
increasing spending and taxes, the White House and its
Congressional allies finally succumbed to fiscal
responsibility on Aug. 2, with approval of an historic new
The new legislation marks the end of automatic debt limit
increases. It has no tax increases.
Instead, a new precedent has been created that will require
the president and Congress to offset increased federal
borrowing with spending cuts that are at least
dollar-for-dollar match.
When President Obama was sworn into office, the national
debt stood at $10.6 trillion – a stratospheric level. During
only two and a half years of the Obama presidency, the
national debt has risen to more than $14.3 trillion.
This almost inconceivable level of national debt is a heavy
anchor on the American economy. It has stalled the job
creation engine of our country and brought us to the brink
of a double-dip recession.
This mountain of debt, combined with a tidal wave of
bureaucratic federal regulations and the impending
multi-trillion dollar costs of implementing Obama healthcare
reform, has stalled job creation and economic growth in our
Instead of economic recovery, the Obama administration's
policies have increased unemployment by nearly one-fifth.
Nearly one American in 10 is unemployed today. The same
policies have doubled the cost of gasoline, seen the number
of Americans on food stamps swell to 45 million, and allowed
home values to drop by 12 percent.
The debt ceiling agreement signaled an end to the status quo
in Washington, D.C. Aug. 2.
Calls for fiscal responsibility from across Texas and across
America are being translated into action.
The thinking in Congress and in the White House has begun to
change from "how much can we spend, and how much can we
raise taxes," to "how much do we need to spend and what
should be cut."

Florida the rules are different here Chapter CVII
An Ocala teenager grows marijuana on property owned by the Deputy Chief of Police. What an enterprising youth he is. Isn't this a great state or what?
Linked to- Outside the Beltway, Perri Nelson, Pirate's Cove, Right Voices,
OCALA, Fla. - A 17-year-old boy was growing marijuana on vacant property owned by Ocala's deputy police chief, authorities said. Deputy Chief Greg Graham said he was told about the plants by neighbors on Saturday. He had bought the lot two months ago as an investment, the Ocala Star-Banner reported. Deputies with the Martin County Sheriff's Office confiscated nine potted marijuana plants on the lot.
Graham said he has known the teen, who was not identified because of his age, for several years.
"I have no idea why he picked my property," Graham said.
A neighbor witnessed the teen in the wooded lot on Friday, according to a sheriff's report. The lot was about 100 yards from the teen's home. The neighbor said the teen's presence on the lot seemed suspicious.
While the investigators were on the property, they spotted the teen walking toward it, according to the report. The teen admitted to investigators that the plants were his and that he smokes marijuana.
He also had pictures of the marijuana plants on his camera cell phone, according to the report.
The teen was charged with cultivation of marijuana and taken to the county's Juvenile Assessment Center.

Be American
There is a difference between the opportunities this nation has to offer and the wealth it possesses.
Too often, lately, the objective has been to come to America to obtain some of its wealth, through any means, preferably without effort; as "payback", maybe for transgressions of the past. I find this repulsive.
President Obama, with his "amnesty" and with the cooperation of the Republican Party (how well did that vote go for you all?) has encouraged the wrong type of people to seek citizenship. There are tons of Pakistanis who would love to come to this nation in search of a better life, of better pay, even of better social customs, who would work, gladly, to get the sort of opportunities being offered freely to those who DO NOT respect America, Americans or our "traditional system". These are not just manual labor emigres, but skilled emigres. Pakistanis, however, cannot come to America because of 9/11.
America is special, even to those who hate it. They hate it because it is successful, because it is largely Christian, because it is the pinnacle. Any nation at the pinnacle of power is going to receive criticism. Russia (prior to the plunge in oil revenues) was starting to receive the sort of criticism America has endured for centuries.
When America is criticized, it is out of envy. That is the truth. Britain criticizes America largely because the best of the Brits (intellectually) rebelled against the King. Does anyone remember the names of the political figures on the British side? No, they don't. But, everyone remembers the political figures on the American side of the conflict. Not just Americans, but people worldwide.
People worldwide respect America, therefore, they criticize America. It is the fact that they all know, they all point to; there is a common source of reference that they can criticize. Criticism is a part of knowlegdge.
One cannot criticize what they do not know, therfore one might criticize what they DO know and therefore, what someone criticizes, someone knows. Criticism, therefeore, suggests knowledge, while that may or may or not be true, it is accepted and that is the crucial misunderstanding between knowledge and knowledge.
Having been in the Middle-East, let me explain from a knowledgeable point of view that while America is still respected and admired for its abilities and accomplishments, it is also a common point of discussion. What is the point of discussion if not to criticize? Truly, is there some point of specific knowledge that you have that you are not quick to criticize, to demonstrate your depth of knowledge? Is it a mark of expertise that you criticize that of which you are knowledgeable? Is that not right?
So, to establish oneself as a sophisticate, one must criticize America, the leader of the world, in order to be heard amongst the rabble.
Go on America, be bold, be resistant, be AMERICAN.

How well did that vote go? Don't know yet. THE NEW ONES HAVEN'T EVEN TAKEN OFFICE YET! It's like asking whether next year's apples are worth the pruning given the trees this fall. Won't know until the end of the growing season. However, it's a pretty good bet...ReplyDeleteReplies
The answer was in the actions of the current congress once they were given a majority to be seated. It should have been a time of bold action, or at least blocking legislation. The first thing they did was fund DHS and Obamacare. The election gave them the support of the people to resist Obama, not capitulate. That should tell one that the election did nothing. But, I guess it didn't tell you anything.Delete

Tomorrow's headlines todayReplyDelete
Feb 2015
Around the time the Repub's try to confront Obama on de-funding his illegal amnesty, the Democrats will suddenly do an about face and decide that terrorism and Ebola are a danger and that it'll be the Repub's fault for any attacks and/or outbreaks.
Headlines from this time period will be in the following form:
"Democrats warn that failure to fund DHS will leave the country vulnerable to terrorist attacks and Ebola outbreaks."
After all this bad press on the issue the Repub's will relent and fully fund DHS – and Obama's illegal amnesty.
Spring 2015
With the promise of Obama's illegal amnesty, the flood of illegals over the border will turn into tsunami of invaders.
With this news ringing in everyone's ears, it will be revealed that the 'initial' figure of 5 million to get Obama's illegal amnesty was way too low – and that it will really be 15 – 20 million.
This only serves to cause untold more millions to surge across the border.
Any attacks/crime upswings and Ebola outbreaks will be blamed on the Repub's 'de-funding' of DHS.. even though that didn't happen..
Summer 2015
The tsunami of illegals over the border will be cited as justification as the reason for sweeping illegal amnesty orders since this is the only way to know if the invaders are criminals or terrorists.
[As though criminals or terrorists would turn themselves in anyway]
A new 'civil rights' cry will be heard throughout the land, that the millions of illegal amnesty invaders should be granted de facto citizenship. Or at least they will be called for to be given the right to vote.
Nov 2016
"In a stunning landslide victory, the Democrats will be swept into office countrywide borne on the tide of millions of new invasion citizens."
And thus the Repubs will be relegated to the dustbin of history, pushed there by the overwhelming Democrat majority.Replies

In other news, the American people; finally fed up with the nonsense and stupidity; begin to use their God given rights to take back their country. Deciding to oust the political hacks, freeloaders, and illegal invaders; and coordinated online and by word of mouth; they turn away from the ballot box and pick up the cartridge box. The exodus out of the country and back across the border to avoid persecution is almost as swift as the exodus out of Washington DC and back into private life of those who considered themselves the ruling elite...
And now, traffic and weather...
Anon@1231, that scenario is possible, but your description ASSumes that there's a difference between dem and repub and that the morass currently known as society will continue.

Actually, I think the free market had a lot to do with American prosperity. And people in other countries tend to be critical of the American government (and well they should be - empires are hard on people). I spent a year in France and did not experience much criticism at all, and that was due to the US government which of course I had no control of.ReplyDelete

People from other countries do not hate America because of our prosperity or out of envy, it is because we butt into their problems, kill their people and try to force our will on them. Our so called rulers are corrupted and are ruled by the rich elite class.ReplyDelete
This has to end, we all should strive to end this system and bring it back to what the founders intended.Replies
In the Middle-East that is true to some degree, but we have not invaded Scotland, or Finland, or Sweden, or Britain and that is where the criticism is motivated by envy. In the Middle-East it is more or less split, but it is myopic to believe that all Middle-Eastern nations feel the same. They have bigger enemies in their own region, among Muslims and look to us as an ally and a defender of last resort.Delete
We don't have enough jobs, and particularly good jobs, for the people who are BORN here. Why the hell are we allowing all these foreigners in? There was a time when this country was young and this level of immigration served a purpose-that time is long gone. We need to take care of our own not everyone else. Bring our troops home to guard our southern border. We should stay out of other countries and keep them out of ours.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree, but our positions have not carried the day, have they? So, the reality is we should enforce our immigration laws and be more choosy about who we let in and perhaps that is no one. But, we are doing ourselves no favors by allowing this flood of immigrants from the south.Delete

Best Traditional Cookware
This is the Cadillac of food thermometers. Made of stainless steel, it's handsome, highly accurate, and easy to use. The base sits on the countertop, top of the range, or grill sidebar and has a long wire attached to a probe that you insert into food at the beginning of cooking (don't worry, the wire won't block the oven door from closing properly). You can choose one of the preset temperatures programmed into the unit or select your own. When the food reaches the desired temperature, the unit beeps to alert you that it's ready. If you like, you can also use it as an instant-read — it responds in less than five seconds. (williams-sonoma.com)
Although designed to be used on the grill, there's no reason why this thermometer with a probe couldn't be used indoors as well. It has a red, hard-plastic base to place beside, clip on, or attach with a magnet to your grill or oven. Attached to the base is a cord with a probe, which you insert into food. You can select from a menu of recommended temperatures or program in your own. In the unit there's a timer that you can use at the same time as the thermometer — set it to sound off halfway through cooking to remind you to flip the steak. With its fast response time, the Weekend Warrior can also be used as an instant-read. (lowes.com)

Many of the objects I post on Tuesdays are impossible to duplicate, but here is one that's not.
Every spring as I purchase more plants than I have places for, many go on a plantstand that I made out deck stair stringers and posts from my local home improvement store. It's not pretty even with the lovely blue stain. This one is so much more elegant and relatively easy to interpret as a DIY project although it would take years to get the same patina. I'd put on on my patio for sure.
If you want to take the short cut and just buy one…they're from English Accent Antiques in Atlanta.

It seems that everybody has an opinion on the inclusion of a Starbucks on Main Street at Disneyland. I went to the park this week and was inspired to toss my two cents into the wishing well.
First a disclaimer. I don't drink coffee. Never liked the stuff. Give me a Diet Coke in the morning and I am a happy guy. Therefore, I cannot comment on whether the coffee is a step up or down from what was served before. I did like the idea that you could get refills all day at the old Market House. I suspect that Starbucks is not so generous.
Walt Disney's version of Disneyland was meant to contain large set pieces that represented the various movie and television genres of the day. He invited his guests to become the characters and to play along. That was part of the magic of Disneyland and it was the start the theme park industry. His Imagineers created spaces that people wanted to be, regardless of whether they were going on rides.
It was not only an aesthetic consideration, it was financial as well. At the time, you could buy a general admission ticket, buy tickets for individual attractions, buy souvenirs, and food. For a broad pleasurable experience which would also generate a lot of money, Walt wanted to see some folks standing in lines, a lot of people eating, and the rest milling about, hopefully in the shops. A lot of people would find it fun just to sit around. That is why many older Disneyland fans from Southern California seem to have this weird connection to the park. It was a park.
What does this have to do with Starbucks? I believe that the coffee house is beautifully designed and decorated. It is function over form, which was the priority. It is not really themed but it is an attractive retail space using an overlay of historic items designed to maximize revenues. Just like your local Cracker Barrel.
The original Market House was built around the heart of the Main Street USA community – the pot belly stove. Want to have a relaxed chat with a neighbor? Play checkers. Need more local news? Pick up the party line phone. The Market House was like the Upjohn Pharmacy across the street. They were less stores and more like museums. Their real function was supposed to help to reinforce the illusion that you were some place from another time.
Am I overthinking this? Maybe. But architect Charles Moore, a fan of Disneyland when most professionals held the park in contempt, said, "Place is the projection of the image of civilization onto the environment." What may be a vacant lot to some can be a holy space to others.
With the rise of Paul Pressler and his successors, the thinking about space has changed and everything is judged by how much money can be made per square foot. After all, management schools teach us that you can only manage what you can measure. Maximizing square footage is the thinking of a shopping mall manager. Pressler may be long gone but his approach continues to drive the park's design to this very day. If there are exceptions please highlight them in the comments.
I applaud the Imagineers for retaining three signature elements; the pot belly stove, the impromptu checker board game on a barrel, and the party line phones. The stove has been placed in a new space called the Book Rest. Nice space. The stove is no longer the center of attention. It is tucked oddly in a dark corner. The queue for coffee is the new focus. The history geek in me notes that Walt personally made miniature versions of pot belly stoves and sold them.
I typed this article while sitting on a nice little bench at a table toward the back of the Book Rest. I think it is supposed to be a bookstore (Mr. Peavidy, Bookseller) but I am not sure. It feels like a library. It is nicely decorated with period books and artifacts. I think it may turn out to be a a great "Hey I will meet you at…" spot.
Instead of the checkers board near the stove, they have been separated. The protective little railing that surrounded the stove and game board is long gone. That sense of security while playing a game is gone. But who plays checkers, right?
Since everything at WDI is about story, I am sure that there is a very eloquent back story that supports what the guests now see. Just like the Carnation Cafe has nothing to do with the ice cream company and has to do with a guy's wife. I look forward to the Disney Parks blog revealing that story or if somebody with a press release can send it my way, I will highlight it in a future column.
I could get really picky. Just look at the roof. The air conditioning vents are pretending to be structural beams but it is obvious that this is a modern air conditioning system covered by a fake wood veneer. Next time you are at the park look up at the ceilings of the older stores and you will see what I mean.
Don't get me wrong. Disney and Starbucks are going to make a lot of money. Coffee fans have a real alternative (I know how crazy some of you get before your first cup). It is hard to imagine how they could accomplish the goal of moving hundreds of people through a space while retaining any sense of charm. Today's Disneyland is not Walt's park. But look for me typing away at the Book Rest the next time you visit….

Being tied 1-1 with Tampa Bay after two games is hardly reason to push the panic button. And I'm certainly not advocating any kind of sweeping changes. But I have a couple suggestions for coach Dan Bylsma that might help the Penguins' cause.
First and foremost, I'd bench Chris Conner in favor of Eric Tangradi. It's nothing personal. Conner's a gritty little guy who works his tail off each and every shift. But aside from pushing his sweat glands to the limit, he simply doesn't produce (two goals over the second half of the season). Considering his small stature and the fact that he's easily muscled off the puck … well, we're not talking about the second coming of Martin St. Louis.
It's true that Tangradi hasn't exactly burned up the track, either. However, despite limited playing time he's displayed good instincts and a nose for the net. He enjoyed arguably his best game in the black and gold on February 11–until Trevor Gillies tried to deposit his head into the 10th row of seats.
The reason Conner dresses over Tangradi is speed. But wheels don't necessarily make for a better hockey player. Guys like Rico Fata and Konstantin Koltsov could skate like the wind. The last time I checked, neither was on the Hall of Fame ballot.
Tangradi is part of the team's future. Conner isn't. It's time to give the kid a chance.
Along the same lines, I'd like to see Deryk Engelland return to the defensive mix. While Brooks Orpik has made it his personal mission to thump every Bolt in sight, the Lightning forwards are a little too comfortable around the Penguins' net.
I guarantee Ryan Malone won't try to crawl inside Marc-Andre Fleury's jersey after every whistle with "the King of Engelland" patrolling the blue line. I doubt if Vinny Lecavalier would be as anxious to shed his gloves–as he did in the opening moments of Game 2–if he knew he might have to tangle with Deryk.
Engelland brings more than a touch of nasty to the table. He's a "fox hole" guy–an outstanding leader who'll sacrifice himself for the good of the team. He's one of the Pens' best defenseman at getting his shots on net. While it's true Deryk has a little trouble with his turns, Bylsma can limit his exposure to the likes of St. Louis and Steven Stamkos. The pluses outweigh the minuses.
Of course, this move's a little problematic. Who do you sit? I watched Matt Niskanen closely in Game 2, and he played really well. He's an excellent skater, handles the puck well in tight quarters, and makes intelligent reads. Ben Lovejoy was terrific down the homestretch, although he looked a bit ragged in the first two games of the series.
It's a tough call. But the Pens need Engelland's grit, especially in front of the net.

Sure, that makes sense, especially if it uses a "toggle" akin to <noframes>, where it is a block element that does not display the content if the ability to show the video is there. It can even work on <img>, too. Whatever happens, I believe that it is important that it be applied identically to at least the following elements: * img * video * audio * object Consistency goes a long way towards adoption. :) Lachlan in his response to you has stated that getting HTML authors to write meaningful information for those with accessibility needs here will be an uphill battle (as <noframes> is indeed a good example). But honestly, getting HTML authors to put any kind of accessibility-useful information in documents is an uphill battle, so what else is new? At least this way, we provide the hooks for it, and maybe make at least 1 textual representation mandatory at all times. > > Does this make sense?

Nope. I simply didn't think of putting anything into the element itself. Why? Well, for me (and this is *strictly* personal opinion), anything that smacks of metadata or something that it not critical to the display is an attribute of an element, not content. That's just my personal opinion, I know many fights get started on the "attribute or element?" question, but because of my personal tendencies, it rarely even occurs to me to think something like this would be content. And yes, I am a big believer in void elements as well. :) J.JaReceived on Tuesday, 2 September 2008 04:49:40 UTC

Is Coloccini Here In Mind As Well As Body?
It's no secret that Fabricio Coloccini wants to leave.
It's also no secret that it's for personal reasons.
Now rather than speculate on the real reason why he wants away, we have to examine where we stand at present with the news that a proposed move to his local club, San Lorenzo has fallen through.
Firstly Id like to state that it's a disgrace that a player under contract can be blatantly tapped up through various media sources and it may have unsettled him further.
A major coincidence that the local club back home come in with an offer on the back of 'personal reasons'. He wasn't homesick as he's been here a few years.
If his wife was sick then surely we have adequate facilities in this country to get her well looked after but as much as we want to avoid the rumours, it's looking more likely that there is some truth in it with Colo himself in reality unable to get out of his final three years of his contract, so a dilemma will be going though his head.
Personally, his mind will be back home if his family are back there and would echo the recent statement by Alan Pardew of letting his game blank out any bad thoughts. His football doing the healing.
If he stays then there's a big crossroads approaching in the Summer, where a 3 month break may not be enough to get his life back on track, so either way, I think his time is up.

Moomba/ indmar throttle problem
This weekend my 06 outback V with the 325 assault in it started acting up. I am not 100% sure what all was going wrong because my dad was using it while I was working, but the main problem was that the throttle was not responding until pressed to about 50% throttle. Long story short it was in need of a new belt for the alternator. I figured that that must of been causing the problem, maybe from not enough voltage for the electronic fuel injection. After I replaced the belt and cranked the engine it was pulling 14 volts, but still had the throttle problem. I am not sure if it could cause such a problem or not but I have a fuel filter on the way, regardless of that being the cause of the problem or not I have been needing a new one. So unless the fuel filter fixes the throttle I am not sure what the problem could be. My next step is just checking all of the grounds, fusees, etc unless you guys have any suggestions. Thanks.
Does it have pp? Have y checks the throttle linkage in top of the engine to make sure one of the brass fittings didn't possibly let go.
yeah it has pp
Check your servo motor and throttle linkage for sure then. The servo should be right on top. Run the perfect pass diagnostic test. You can get it off their website and make sure the servo is winding and engaging properly.
Does it happen when pp is disengaged as well? If so I am willing to bet you just need to adjust the linkage. Could just be a bad cable tho as well. Sometimes they just expand , crack or fail. Either way hopefully it's a simple cable thing and not computer related thing involving injectors and fuel delivery. It will probably take two people in order to make sure the linkage is all moving correctly while you push the throttle. Also move the linkage by hand to see if it hesitates the same way. If not then u so know its servo/ throttle cable related
I woul start there and then move on to something way above my capabilities involving the computer side
I had the exact same problem on my 05 Mobius LSV, turns out the turn dial on the PP motor was rubbing the water pump hose and got backed off (i think??) , i shut everything off and re-tightened the tension knob and all was good. There was to much slack in the PP line.
hope this helps..
Geoff, that seems to have been the problem thanks for the help.
sweet.... glad i could help... i was pretty confused when it happened to me, but after about 5 minutes of tinkering i found it.

Challenge Coin Kickstarter Ending...
The Schlock Mercenary Challenge Coin Kickstarter, successful beyond my fondest nightmares, is drawing to a close. As of this writing you have 29 hours to get on board. It ends Friday night at around 8pm my time, and I have exactly ZERO control over the final lock-down.
A dollar gets your foot in the door, assuring you the opportunity to acquire one of the numbered exclusives and/or the discounted bundles. Just make sure you can use PayPal to add funds later.
We will be carrying all of the non-numbered coins as inventory, and as of this writing it looks like there will be a total of 13 coins minted as part of this project. Several are in-universe replicas, a couple are handy tools, and a few will serve as reminders, decision-makers, or excellent gifts.
I'll be doing four ship commemoratives as part of the project (I assume we'll unlock that last coin in the next 29 hours.) Designs for the first two have been submitted, designs for the second two are precipitating from the concentrated solution of my brain. None of these will be finalized before the project closes, which is a horrible thing for me to do to you, but there, I've gone and done it. I'll get the designs finalized in time for the final pledge management next week, though. If you're not sure whether you'll like them, pledge now for the ones you DO like, and decide on the ship coins later.
We still aim to ship these in April, though it'll probably be late April. Imagine! A Kickstarter that delivers product within 45 days of the project closing! Who would have thought it possible? Who would have dared to speak these words, risking that he might have to eat them whole, with or without serifs, forty-five days from now?
Yeah, that'd be me. Mercenary schlockishness notwithstanding, my customers come first, and I will deliver the goods.

Friends comes first for Abhishek Bachchan
Actor skips picking up his awards trophy to attend buddy's wedding
All eyes were on him when Abhishek Bachchan left a recently concluded award ceremony without receiving his award for Bol Bachchan. He was at the event for a while but didn't wait to collect his prize. The reason being that AB had to attend a close friend's wedding in Mahalaxmi.
A source says, "Abhishek was at the event hosted by Salman Khan and was seen spending time among the audience. But when his name was announced in an awards category, he was nowhere to be seen." Insiders say he had reached the venue for the awards gala at 8 pm with Karan Johar. He waited for a long time but he did not want to let his friend down. He left around 10 pm."


text: Bikejoring is similar to dog scootering but uses a bike instead of a kick scooter. The bike is also equipped with a special adapter to keep the leash away from the front wheel. The main difference between dog scootering and bikejoring are: on the bike you can drive faster but the kick scooter is safer as the centre of gravity is lower; a rider can get off the kick scooter faster than from the bike and stopping the kick scooter is also quicker.

Where Bombs Fell: A Design Week Talk
Wednesday 25th Oct: 5.30pm-6.30pm
Where Bombs Fell: A Design Week Talk
Why does Sheffield look the way it does? What have been the drivers for the design and re-design of the city?
This short talk looks at the role of design in shaping Sheffield through the lens of a design project developed in the graphic design department within Sheffield Institute of Arts ('Where Bombs Fell'). The talk takes place in the Head Post Office building on Fitzalan Square and will give an overview of the project and its future intentions. At the centre of the talk is a 1942 wartime public information film, set in Sheffield and scripted by Dylan Thomas, called 'New Towns for Old'. Like many other propaganda films at this time, New Towns for Old intended to assure audiences that the work done to improve British housing in the 1930s was continuing despite the war.
Sheffield, battle-scarred and laden with slums, is re-imagined here as 'Smokedale' – an industrial Everytown where planners are working to clear decrepit and bomb-damaged back-to-backs and maintain a green belt around the city. (BFI)

Stephen's Writing Credentials
Stephen has written five books and over 100 magazine articles for a variety of magazines. He has interviewed more than 350 people for his work as an author, magazine writer, and award-winning podcaster.
As a contributing editor for Space and Time Magazine, he has also been a regular contributor for Robot Magazine, Humanity Plus Magazine, Grim Couture Magazine, and Port Iris magazine; and he spent three years as a columnist and contributing editor for Jim Baen's Universe Magazine.
His nonfiction books include A Brief History of Predicting the Future as well as Indistinguishable from Magic: Predictions of Revolutionary Future Science. His novels include Bones Burnt Black, Plague at Redhook and Skinbrain.
He has spoken to over 150 audiences at the many conventions to which he has been invited.
Since 2005, he has produced over 400 episodes of his weekly podcast, The Future And You, which explores, through interviews, panel discussions, and commentary, all the ways the future will be different from today.
He is also an essayist, artist, game designer, and is on the advisory board of The Lifeboat Foundation.
Stephen's Interviewing Credentials
In the 2010 movie The Ghostwriter, the actor, Pierce Brosnan (playing a former British Prime Minister) asked Ewan McGregor (playing his ghostwriter) how the ghostwriting process works. Ewan McGregor explained it very simply, "I interview you. I turn your answers into prose. Here and there I'll add linking passages, imitating your voice."
For those books in which the client will be the main source of its content (memoirs, autobiographies and about half of all nonfiction books, such as business and self-help), that is an accurate, if highly condensed, summary of the process. It also points out three of a ghostwriter's most vital skills: interviewing, writing, and imitating the client's "voice" in the form of word choice and sentence structure typed onto a page.
The first skill is interviewing.
Stephen won a Parsec Award in 2006 for the quality of his interviews.
Interviews are used at the beginning of the process to learn exactly what the client would like the book to contain; as well as its tone, voice, layout, organization, and emphasis.
For some books, all the information the finished book will contain exists only inside the mind of the client. In these cases long interviews, spread over days or weeks, totaling twenty hours or more, are used to capture that information so that it can be transformed into the client's book. Exploring the content of a mind to find the golden nuggets is a specialized skill. If done poorly, the book will suffer; but if done well, the quality will show through.
For other books, however, only part of the information will be from the mind of the client. The rest will be provided by researching many outside sources. In these cases, interviews may total as little as three to five hours and focus as much on collecting the client's knowledge as letting the ghostwriter know what topics to research, and what to emphasize about the information that will be gathered.
Thanks to Stephen's years of experience in conducting interviews, he has developed the skills needed to make this a comfortable and conversational experience.
Here is a partial list of the more than 350 people Stephen has interviewed. (No list will ever be made public of those people for whom Stephen has ghostwritten.)
