I have here a test build of a remake of sorts of Doom 2's MAP04: The Focus. It's for Vanilla Doom 2 and should be fully playable in Single-Player as well as 4 player CO-OP. I put a lot of work into making this map Deathmatch compatible as well, but the layout probably isn't good for that (It's a lot bigger than the original), and I haven't added Deathmatch items as of yet. Not sure if I will because it might make CO-OP too easy having all these extra weapons and items sitting around, and the main emphasis is on SP and CO-OP. It also features a new sky texture and a short piece of MUS music.
Anyway, just need some people to test and give feedback before I plan to finalize and upload to /idgames. Let me know of any bugs, especially if there are any problems in Vanilla or Chocolate Doom with the REJECT lump, or if you run into a savegame overflow, though hopefully both of those things should be pretty well worked out at this point. There may be a few minor slime trails.
Test Build Download Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpe2lr55zwoti ... 2.WAD?dl=0
And it's in the MAP01 slot, not MAP04 as might be expected. Enjoy!
Spoiler:UPDATE: See the 9th post of this thread for a long overdue but minor update (no new Test Build yet).

If anyone can one-up the Nuforce, it is Maximo. They sport many reasonably priced headsets and upgrade inner earphones which work well and sound good to boot. The iP-HS5 is their premium model which hits the important price point set by Apple's new dual-driver inner earphone headset. But unlike the white-on-white of Apple's sparsely accessorised kit, Maximo pack in a lot of black. In fact, its accessories kit might even make Jays blush.
UPDATE: Maximo have informed me that newer iP-HS5 cables are different to the model I have. If that is the case, I will update this review accordingly.

NEW YORK, December 11, 2012 - Continuing its efforts to improve educational opportunities and its support of KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) today donated computer hardware estimated to be worth more than $500,000 to KIPP New York, Inc. (KIPP NYC). The donated hardware - three racks of servers and storage - will become a core part of the elementary, middle and high schools' technology infrastructure network and dramatically improve their ability to fulfill and expand their curricula. As KIPP NYC grows into an established, scalable network that sets the pace for high-quality public charter education, the organization will require a parallel evolution of its technology infrastructure. The donation from JPMorgan Chase will catalyze that technology evolution.
The donated hardware will support a wide range of KIPP's programmatic and operational needs. In the near term, the hardware will increase efficiencies for the teachers and administrators at KIPP NYC's nine schools, and expand and centralize data storage capabilities, as well as support more robust backups and disaster recovery protocols. Over the long term, the hardware will enable KIPP NYC to offer more classes to students in new disciplines, such as video production and editing.
"This donation to KIPP continues our commitment to supporting education and doing our part to help strengthen our communities," said Guy Chiarello, Chief Information Officer, JPMorgan Chase & Co. "This new hardware will not only enable KIPP to continue to provide quality education to students in New York City, but it will bring new classes to the curriculum. We are pleased to make this contribution to KIPP."
"This donation has the potential to address the schools' disaster and business recovery needs, improve file storage and help move along educational solutions the schools are working on, said Ed Laux, Managing Director for Technology at KIPP. "We have limited resources internally - we're focused on the children. But through this unique relationship that we've developed with JPMorgan Chase, they've become an extension of our team. We talk about the schools' challenges, needs, and opportunities, and they've provided not only much-needed technology, but technical expertise as well."
Earlier this year, JPMorgan Chase provided several technological improvements to KIPP NYC, configuring the schools' SharePoint software to enable teachers and the administration to more efficiently create and search reports, which in turn will help improve the quality of education they can provide to students. The firm also collaborated with Syracuse University, whose Information Technology students are helping to develop requirements and provide an analysis for an Open Source Curriculum Platform (OSCP), which will allow KIPP teachers to upload their documents, pictures, videos and other materials from their curricula to a website that is accessible to other teachers in the network. With the OSCP, educators will be able to perform various functions, such as search and browse, add, update, and branch the curriculum.
JPMorgan Chase also recently provided financing to help KIPP expand its network of schools in low-income communities in Bronx, N.Y.; Lynn, Mass.; and Washington, DC. Through the New Markets Tax Credit program, the firm invested over $38 million to help KIPP construct the first high school in New York City, a middle and high school in Lynn, and a renovation and expansion of KIPP DC. KIPP NYC College Prep in the Bronx will be KIPP's first high school program in New York City. It will enroll up to 1,000 students. KIPP Academy Lynn is a new middle and high school building that will house more than 40 classrooms in addition to a library, cafeteria, gymnasium and outdoor ball field. JPMorgan Chase also facilitated a transformational renovation and expansion of KIPP DC's Shaw campus that will eventually enroll approximately 1,000 preschoolers through 8th graders.
About JPMorgan Chase & Co.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) is a leading global financial services firm with assets of $2.3 trillion and operations worldwide. The firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and small businesses, commercial banking, financial transaction processing, asset management and private equity.

Morgan and Chase brands. Information about JPMorgan Chase & Co. is available at www.jpmorganchase.com.
About KIPP NYC

Today, KIPP NYC serves 2,916 students and 707 alumni through nine schools and its alumni support program, KIPP Through College.

Yesterday, Taylor Swift's Vanity Fair excerpt was released, in which she said, in regards to a Golden Globes joke by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women" (more on this quote later). Amy Poehler was asked about Taylor's comment and had this to say to The Hollywood Reporter:
"Aw, I feel bad if she was upset. I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff. "
Tina Fey's response was more pragmatic and a little sassy, as she told ET, "If anyone was going to get mad at us, I thought it would be James Cameron. I did not see that one coming. It was a joke, it was a lighthearted joke."
Both their reactions to Taylor's hissy are so genius it's like a mic drop and head pat all at once. Poehler and Fey's dismissal shows how young and humourless Taylor Swift looks without even meaning to highlight how young and humourless Taylor Swift is. Run along Taylor, the adults are talking.
No apology, no compromise, no fake earnestness, no righteous defensiveness. This is how real people (not just women) handle their sh-t. Celebrities are always pulling out the placating, self-serving apology, but we expect better from Tina and Amy. And we got better. As a reader named Kate pointed out, it would be an honour to be gently ribbed by Tina and Amy.
But one of the many reasons Amy's response in particular is so great is because she uses the F word so carelessly – she's a feminist, and doesn't play coy about it. Taylor may have brought up sexism, but it was only in the context of criticisms about her, her music, her style of writing. I feel like Taylor (and Lena Dunham, whose show I do enjoy) grew up in a world that thinks being a woman protects them from criticism, that saying the word "sexist" is a failsafe defense.
What women like Amy and Tina know is that being a woman only makes you MORE scrutinized, doubted, questioned, dismissed and maligned, which is why they know they need to be so much more awesome than their male counterparts to get the same respect and opportunities. Taylor won't overcome this wave of negative press if she doesn't wise up to the fact that just saying people are sexist towards her means NOTHING... especially when it's largely women who are starting to dislike her.
But why the growing faction of Taylor naysayers? Why was it OK to be the aw-shucks girl who everyone wanted to protect from the big bad rapper just 2 years ago? The girl who – so cute! – dated the boy with the same name as her? Why did we turn on Taylor Swift?
Is it the fickle nature of celebrity? Is it that we don't want to see our teen stars evolve and grow? Is it because she's a woman? Or is Taylor Swift simply overexposed? She has one of the most curious modern celebrity personas: she's respected by other musicians, sells millions of albums, sells out shows, has a sunny disposition, a very aspirational yet attainable look … yet many people groan when they hear her name, even if they will happily sing along to her songs. But no one can really tell you why. Part of it is because just like Rooney Mara decided to co-opt "aloof," Taylor has tried to make coy her thing. She won't tell you anything about her love life, she's too coy. She won't answer any direct questions, she's too coy. And that's a persona people seem to be tiring of.
Look, Taylor's ahead of the game in every way and is immensely talented and successful. Here's a rich white girl with access… and her biggest trouble is boys. Well we're not short on perspective here, are we? As she will repeatedly tell you, her ONLY trouble is boy trouble. Of course it is, because in this image she's created, what else would it be? What else COULD it be?
What's actually sexist is when an E! News Correspondent places photos of Miley and Taylor side-by-side for a "slut" face-off and says Taylor's been with 13 guys in 3 years. (Click here to see.) This was messed up on so many levels: pitting two young females against each other, counting off how many men each woman has been with (and "been with" = photographed), and basically saying that if one is not a "slut", the other one is.
That was barely a ripple to Taylor, and yet what she chose to take on was two of the funniest, most revered women in Hollywood making a tiny joke and it's war. And she attributed the "special place in hell" quote to a very seasoned journalist in a very big magazine in a very calculated way. Notice how she said Katie Couric only heard the quote, and didn't attribute it to Katie? She did her research – the quote is reportedly from Madeleine Albright. Taylor rehearsed that wording, for sure. It's her deliberate way of saying if you are not with her, you are against her and against Women.
You are with Taylor or you are with Tina and Amy. Because women throwing down against each other over something petty is not at all a sexist stereotype, right Taylor? All this over a Golden Globes joke! Is it any wonder people think she's ultra sensitive? Which as an artist, particularly a singer-songwriter, is a wonderful thing. But as a pop star who actively markets her feelings and banks on them being celebrated, sung and downloaded, she can't expect the same impunity as someone like Fiona Apple.
And it doesn't seem as if Taylor wants privacy per se, she just wants to control the message, which is what every celebrity wants to do. But if her ego is so big that she can't let a joke like that go, she has trouble ahead that goes way beyond boys.

Hi guys,
just wanted to say thank you for this fantastic game! I got into Ageod with AJE a couple months back but then decided to purchase all the titles available on Steam and play them in chronoligical order. Being a big fan of Friederich the Great and a student of history, I am needless to say totally addicted to ROP (currently trying to beat the very challenging Great Campaign).
The quality of these games, together with the great community here at the Ageod forums, makes it very difficult for me now to think of playing anything else. Again thanks for this masterpiece and keep up the great work!

Pageant winner believes title is another open door
PLAINVIEW - Ashley Applewhite has always believed in divine intervention, but her belief is even stronger these days.
Applewhite was crowned Miss Wayland 2004 on Saturday evening, Nov. 8, in her third attempt at the title since coming to the university four years ago. The irony is that Applewhite almost didn't even enter the pageant.
"I really wasn't sure if that was the direction that God had for me this year, and I'm in a lot of upper-level courses that are more in-depth, so I was concerned about my time," she said. "I was encouraged to run again by Joe Provence (director of alumni services) and the alumni services office. I really did it because they asked me to and because it gave me another chance to perform and share my talents, which I love."
Applewhite said she really didn't expect to win this year and did not know she had won until she heard Penny Greer named first runner-up.
"Honestly, my first thought was, 'why do I deserve this more than anyone else,' because there were so many outstanding girls in the pageant. It was completely a shock," she said.
Knowing the responsibilities that lay ahead for Miss Wayland can be daunting to any young woman. But Applewhite is excited about the possibilities for service.
"I'm glad to be out in the community and helping with the smaller pageant events. It'll be exciting to serve Wayland in another way and a good opportunity to be involved in other areas."
Applewhite believes she brings a different viewpoint to the title because of her classification as senior and her years of experience at Wayland. A music education major minoring in management and marketing, Applewhite hopes to pursue a master's degree in music business after graduating from Wayland in May 2005. She wants to someday own a business advocating fine arts in public education.

Adam Smith is justly regarded as the first of the modern economists given his deep insights into the functioning of the economy and his comprehensive approach to the subject. Nevertheless, those economists of the 17th and 18th centuries who preceded Smith also had important insights even though there were many false trails and wrong turnings. This collection of economists documents the 150 years of growth in economic thinking which predated Smith.

For over 50,000 years the Nopal Verde cactus has been consumed for its medicinal properties and its nutritional benefits. All warriors eat this. Nopal Opuntia ficusindica species is considered a vegetable. Nopal cactus is also called opuntia, nopalli, prickly pear, cactus pear fruit, nopol, tuna cardona or "tuna", and westwood-pea. You can find it all throughout our country and many regions of the world. I'ts tender paddles whose taste can be compared to a French bean, an asparagus or a cucumber. If you're ever stuck in the dessert without food and water, think again.
With its primordial appearance and afflictive attributes the Aztecs compared the prickly pear or "tunas" of an intense red hue to the bloody hearts of warriors and that the divine properties were attached to it. The warriors convinced that eating tunas gave unwavering courage and resolution. Keep also in mind a super antioxidant buzz.
First blend the prickly pears in vitamix and strain with strainer or nut bag to get 1 cup of prickly pear. The fruit is much like a pomegranate with its dietary potentials; however the seeds are hard as rocks so they will leave hard granules in the juice and must be strained. You may micronize them but you will have the juice to a soup by the time they finish blending. Just strain it. Trust me. You will benefit Vitamins A and C, high amounts of calcium and magnesium, B complex, potassium, iron and plenty of fiber. Eating nopal provides 17 amino acids and eight of which are essential for the human body's constitution.
Ideally Well
For diabetic and insulin sensitive dieters add 1 tsp of (DGL) Licorice Root. Perhaps juicing one bitter melon and adding that to the mix. 1 large bitter melon will give you 1 ½ oz of bitter melon juice.
Being a life coach and a holistic consultant I have many accounts of emails with "questions to photo" and picture text messages in the late hours asking identification followed by demands for some kind of solution. I bless every one of you. All I can is expend my knowledge and help my fellow brother and sister. It is your decision and I thank you for listening, listening to yourself, the professionals in your life and the knowledge you seek. Serve the highest good. Remember these are highly uncomfortable situations that individuals are experiencing constantly and most people are not knowledgeable enough of their own body. Think diet in preventative maintenance and optimal functioning, two words for you,
"PRO-BIOTICS" and "ENZYMES". Get to know them. I suggest Google. search engine. Other than that, please hydrate. Drink 1 gallon of structured water or more a day. These few steps will revolutionize your life. If you are local to the southern California area, I suggest starting with the abundant Nepal cactus and prickly pear.
Nopal considered "fruit of the earth." Given this name is meaningful since this plant only needs its seed to be buried in the earth in order to grow. You can see how well and abundant it grows to our local region of southern California and Mexico. It can withstand the most inhospitable conditions; it grows in desert and extremely cold regions.
2 large nopal pads
½ large onion, sliced
2 fresh Roma tomatoes, cubed
1 TBSP fresh chopped cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, deveind and chopped (optional for hotness)
1 avocado, cubed
juice of one lime
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Himalayan pink salt
1. Clean nopales with a peeler or a small paring knife. Make sure to remove all the thorns and nods paying special attention to the edges of the pads.
2. Cut in bite size pieces and place into a zip-lock bag or container to marinate with onion for 4hours or until tender. The best is overnight. Add apple cider and lime juice and add salt to taste. Drain. (you can keep juices to make salad dressing)
3. Mix with the rest of the ingredients in a salad bowl and refrigerate until cool.
4. Enjoy!

The latest additions to AT&T's new data plan stable are ostentatious, we'll give them that. Want 30GB, 40GB, or 50GB of monthly mobile data? Sure thing, chief. That'll just be up to $500 per month. Oh, plus another $30 for each additional smartphone. Per month. Go over that massive cap? An extra $15 per gig please.
It's not that the fees are crazy for what you're getting; if 3GB runs you $30/month, 30 might as well cost you $300. But as any dedicated Costco member knows, buying in bulk usually justifies at least a tiny discount.
Obviously these aren't plans that you yourself will ever need, unless you have an unhealthy relationship with LTE. They're for businesses, allowing up to 25 devices to feed from the same massive data trough. So at worst, you can feel bad for the suckers in accounts receivable who have to fork over that much cash. And at best? That $50/month plan's not looking quite so hurty any more. [AT&T]

UKULELE WORLD CONGRESS 2012 * 4th Annual! *
JUNE 1st-2nd 2012
NEEDMORE (Brown County!) INDIANA
About 10 miles from Nashville Indiana off HWY45 at @ 4600 Plum Creek Rd.
Free! Compliments of Mainland Ukes
Most people start arriving late Friday afternoon, although several people came Thursday last year.
You're welcome to come a day or two early, but you might end up helping with the mowing and set-up.
Some people didn't leave till Monday or later!
There will be a potluck again Friday evening at 7pm. Mainland will have free water and drinks available until they run out.
There is an open mic each evening as well as a lot of other jammings all day and playing around the bonfire all night.
Nothing official planned for Sunday, but it's YOUR party so you guys can do what you want! Last year, Sunday had some nice low-key jamming and folks hanging around trying to find any excuse to prolong the experience.
The site for the UWC is a couple of big, well maintained fields with no permanent structures except for the stage. Both the fields are at least partially bordered by woods and a creek. As Bassuke has said, camping under shade is a good idea. There are alot of good on-site camping areas that weren't really explored last year, in the back of "parking field" there are some sweet drive up and camp spots that have shade for alot of the day.
There is basically an unlimited amount of parking and camping space. Portable toilets will be on site.
Nashville is only about 10 minutes away from the UWC site and has a good variety of hotels and Bed and Breakfasts. Here's some options.
Primative camping is free at the UWC site! (No showers sorry)
The local YMCA in Nashville sells $5 day passes, but I think it's free the first Saturday of the month.
Nashville is not far and the Needmore store, good for some basics is only about a mile away.
Nashville has an IGA for food and other supplies.
There is also a CVS (cheap booze) and a liquor store in Nashville.
If you are flying ,Indianapolis International airport is about an hour or so away.
Google map to the site:
See you there! Mike

This is a Maternity Monday post by still-pregnant guest blogger and teaching artist, Jess Levey.
Yup, the time has come, and gone, for the final looooong stretch. Although my husband and I are both very punctual people, I have always been pretty sure that baby would be late. My due date was January 12th – two days ago. Children are known to test their parents' patience on a routine basis, so what better time than now to put me to the test?! And, it really wouldn't be all that bad if it wasn't for that fact that it is flu season (and as we have been told the WORST ever on record) so going to crowded movies or museums or taking the subway is pretty much not an option. Although, I may go against doctor dad's orders on this one if baby doesn't arrive soon!
So, basically we quarantine ourselves at home, working as much as we can on our photography biz, taking long walks, watching way too much TV, cooking, eating, and making up silly songs that we sing to the baby asking it to come on out. On top of all the waiting are the constant stream of phone calls, text messages, and emails from friends and family asking what's going on. Just when I feel like I have successfully distracted myself from the looong wait, I get another text saying something like "I can't believe you don't have a baby yet." Really? YOU can't believe it?! But, I shouldn't complain, all these texts and calls are from a place of love, even if they do sound like a broken record.
My husband and I are working as hard as we can to get this labor started so we can welcome our new amazing baby. I'm taking primrose oil and blue cohosh, eating spicy food, going for long walks, getting acupuncture treatments, and of course that other task which is how we got to this finish line in the first place (and, which really is not has much fun as it was 9 months ago!). So, basically, our daily lives are being taken over by this curiosity and attempt to control biology. And, then there are these blissful moments when I feel normal, like this is just how my life is.
My body is bigger but I'm not in any terrible discomfort.
I get to have my shoes put on for me.
I get to eat chocolate every day.
I have an excuse to not do anything or go anywhere, including to work, and life is quite relaxing.
I like these moments, when I can forget, maybe work on a project rather than obsess about the unknown.
And, I'm pretty sure it is during this relaxed state that baby will most likely decide to make his/her debut.
Just like a watched pot never boils, I know that baby ain't gonna arrive until I chill out. But then, the phone rings, or a text comes in, or an email arrives, saying "So??? What's going on? Any baby yet?" And, I am reminded, once again of my main goal in life right now – to wait, and it may just be the longest line ever!

The People are Speaking – and They're Rejecting Pelosi and Obama and Their Very Expensive, Jobless, Liberal Agenda
Ethical and transparent is all well and good with Republicans in power, but devious is just fine when the Democrats are back in power.
The Wall Street Journal's John Fund sat down with Rep. Brian Baird, a six-term Democrat from Washington State. He's not running for a seventh term. He's retiring and going home to be with his children while they're still children. With a close to his political career, he had nothing to lose speaking his mind. And he did. (See Requiem for the Pelosi Democrats posted on line 10/30/2010.) One thing this Democrat wasn't happy with was the Democrat leadership.
Mr. Baird recalls that he was "very excited" when his party took control of Congress in 2006, but he saw ominous signs early on. Before the 2006 election, he says, Mrs. Pelosi had 30 members working on a rules package to make the House more ethical and deliberative. "We abandoned all that work after the election, and leaders told us we should trust them to clean things up. I don't know a single member of the Democratic caucus who saw the final rules package before they voted on it."
Even her own don't like her. Nancy Pelosi was going to have the most ethical and transparent House. Of course, Pelosi initiated that initiative when the Republicans were in control. When she was working on a very draconian set of rules for the House of Representatives. Then, to her shock, the Democrats won a majority in the House and, with it, the leadership positions. And the 30-member panel stopped their work. Why? Those draconian rules had but one purpose; curb Republican power. With them being in the majority, they didn't need any set of rules to curb Republican power. And they sure as hell weren't going to implement any rules that would curb their own power. For the devious like to work outside the rules as much as possible.
Obamacare – long and convoluted, best passed without reading (for it's not as quick a read as War and Peace or Atlas Shrugged).
Once back in power, they were giddy with that power. They took it as a mandate to change America. But it wasn't. It was a mandate to change Washington. But they tried their level best to remake America to what the people wanted. Demanded. To make it liberal. To give us Big Government. This is what they and about 20% of Americans who call themselves 'liberal' wanted. So they ignored the other 80% and went to work. Their bills were so long and convoluted that it made Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged (both in the 1,000-page class of novel) seem like Readers Digest reading by comparison. And one of the longest and most convoluted? Obamacare. Which few read before voting.
"What the hell were we doing voting on this? I had labor groups come to me and insist the bill was so important we couldn't wait to know what was in it," he recalls. "I asked them if they were handed a new union contract and told it was so important they had to agree to it without reading it, would they go along?" They continued to insist he vote for the bill and threatened him with a primary challenger.
Even Nancy Pelosi said that Congress would have to approve it before they could learn what was in it. Remarkable. Can you imagine the teachers' union agreeing to this? Saying to the school board, "Sure, whatever you say. If the contract's fair that's good enough for me. We, the teachers, can learn about what we agreed to after we vote to ratify it." No, they wouldn't. Neither would Nancy Pelosi pass a bill sponsored by Republicans without reading it. It's okay for her, though. Because she's an elitist. And doesn't really care what we 'rubes' think anyway.
Obamacare – We'll pay for filet mignon but get hotdogs and hamburgers, a very expensive mediocrity.
Passing Obamacare required some financial shenanigans. They needed CBO to score it under a trillion dollars. Which was like giving everyone filet mignon at the family reunion BBQ by asking everyone to pay $5 to cover the cost. You can't do it. If you're buying food for everyone and only collecting $5 a head, trust me, you're serving hot dogs and hamburger. But if you collect the money first and don't feed anyone until after, say, 4 years, you'll be able to stay within your imaginary budget in those first 4 years.
"I warned my fellow Democrats that the insurance companies they were whacking could increase premiums just before the midterm election and blame them for it," he sighs. "I pointed out that the major benefits wouldn't kick in till 2014, but the costs were up front. I asked them, where was the political win? There was no real answer."
Of course, people are not going to enjoy paying for nothing. They're not just going to sit idly by with their wallets open, whistling a happy tune. There will come a point when they're going to ask what they're getting for all their money. And then after 4 years of paying for filet mignon, they'll finally get to enjoy the benefit they've been paying and waiting patiently for so long. And, guess what? They'll still get hot dogs and hamburger. Because everyone can't have filet mignon. It's just too damn expensive. So like with everything else Big Government does, we'll end up with a very expensive mediocrity.
The rubes in flyover country have had enough of deficits. And enough of the arrogant and condescending Pelosi and Obama.
Nancy Pelosi and most in Congress are elitists. They are so far removed from ordinary America that it's like visiting a foreign land for them. That's why they call it 'flyover' country. The only thing the country outside their liberal districts is good for is flying over en route to another liberal district. They either think everyone thinks like they think. Or that those too stupid to be able to think like they think should just be seen and not heard, grateful for whatever alms they hand out. The concept of alternate viewpoints is alien to them. So when advisors told them to go ahead and spend because the people (the people that count – the 20%) don't care about deficits, they listened. Well, not so much listened. But heard what they wanted to hear.
Democrats, he says, will also have to recognize why they lost touch with voters. "Back in September, we had pollsters and strategists from my party tell members that the mass of people didn't care about the deficit. The mind-boggling lack of reality coming from some of the people who give us so-called advice is stunning."
Well, people care about deficits. Like the Left used to care about when Ronald Reagan was running up a deficit the size of a drop in the bucket compared to theirs. And the amazing thing is, they aren't done spending yet. Which is really frustrating the 80%. The rubes. The good people in flyover country. Who are growing weary of the condescending and arrogant Nancy Pelosi and President Obama.
The mandate was to change Washington, not America. Now, America is polarized. And it's business as usual in Washington.
Toby Harnden, American Way, wrote a piece appearing on www.telegraph.co.uk called US midterm elections: Barack Obama's world turned upside down as Democrats face electoral disaster. Those familiar with history will be familiar with part of this title. For tradition says that when Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, the British marched out while their band played The World Turned Upside Down. How very apropos. For the ruling elite is stunned, much like Lord Cornwallis was, at the thought of being defeated by a bunch of rubes. So desperate to avoid such a 'Cornwallian' disaster, the Left is trying everything within their power. Even abandoning the lie that brought them into office.
The irony of Obama being the blue-state president is acute. Back in 2004, the then state senator shot to international attention by mocking the pundits who "like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States".
He declared: "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America. There's the United States of America."
Of course, once he got into office, it was all, "I won. You lost. Nyah nyah, na nyah nyah."
Swept into power on a wave of adulation and talk of an historic new era, Obama never felt he needed to work with Republicans. It took him 18 months before he invited Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, to the White House.
But the center-right, the 80%, were not amused.
The problem was that his world view was that of a conventional liberal Democrat but he was president of a nation that was centre-right. His victory came from those who wanted him to change Washington, not America.
And by governing against the will of the people, America is polarized more than ever. And it's business as usual in Washington. Perhaps a bit dirtier, though.
Jobs talk and liberal BS walks. Yeah, it's the economy, stupid.
Obama ran as a centrist. But once in office, he ruled as a liberal. The most liberal president ever. And like Nancy Pelosi, he is getting exasperated by these rubes who are just too stupid to know what's best for them. So he's abandoning that reaching across the aisle nonsense and doing what Democrats do best.
Obama's high-minded appeals for national unity are no more. His electoral strategy is one of desperate damage limitation. Most pollsters expect Democrats to lose more than 50 seats and control of the House of Representatives.
They will probably keep control of the Senate but at least six seats look lost. Obama's response has been to "slice and dice" the electorate in the way he condemned. He endured the indignity of being called "dude" on Jon Stewart's Comedy Central show as the price for enticing young voters.
He's appeared on the Reverend Al Sharpton's internet radio show to woo black voters. On Univision radio, he told Latino voters of the need to "punish our enemies". He routinely attacks Fox News and Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's former adviser, as a way of energising liberals.
With the realization that America doesn't want what Pelosi and Obama are pushing, they reach out to those who they once simply took for granted: the young, the blacks and the Latinos. Who they need more than ever now that so many women are turning to the Republicans this election. Because there are no jobs. After 2 years in office. And trillions of dollars in spending.
What was that the Democrats used to say? Oh, yes, I think I remember. "It's the economy, stupid." Duh.

Nigella Lawson recently spoke of her worries about whether she was good enough as a mother, saying: "One is always aware of what one isn't doing right."
Now it appears that any skills she may have as a parent were learned in spite of, rather than because of, the way she was treated by her own mother.
The 52-year-old television cook, who has two teenage children, has revealed that she was physically abused by her mother when she was a child.
A violent and depressed woman, Vanessa Salmon - who was married to Conservative politician Nigel Lawson, the former Chancellor - would lash out when her children made too much noise, Lawson said.
She said she faced her mother's wrath because she "just didn't like me".
Lawson, who is married to 69-year-old art collector Charles Saatchi, was 25 when her mother died of liver cancer aged 48.
In the past she's spoken about how her mum inspired some of her signature dishes, including a "praised chicken", the smell and taste of which "says 'family' to me and my siblings, and brings our long-absent mother back to the kitchen and the table with us".
However, she has now revealed that her relationship with her mum was complicated and abusive.
"I never thought I could please her," said Lawson, one of four kids.
"She was funny but depressed and so sensitive to noise. The sound of a plastic bag being crinkled would send her deranged. She'd shout at all of us and say, 'I'm going to hit you till you cry', and so I never would cry. I still don't.
"It wasn't a calculated thing; it was hot-blooded hitting, a thrashing out of things. Once she had to stop hitting Dominic [Nigella's brother] as she hurt her hand.
"She just didn't like me; maybe because I came after Dominic the princeling and I was my father's girl she was jealous, I don't know.
"I would say I'm sorry for whatever it was, some mess, and she'd say, 'Why do you think being inconsiderate is an excuse?'
"It was like children of alcoholic parents who know right away when they've been drinking, we always would know in an instant if it was going to be bad."
Lawson, who studied at Oxford University and is estimated to have earned £15million from her cookery career, had a far closer relationship with her father, who divorced his wife in 1980. She said Lord Lawson was a relaxed parent, who would congratulate her on being a terror at school but well-behaved at home.
He also encouraged the teenage Lawson to have a drink of whisky with him as she studied for her A-levels because he did not like drinking alone, she said.
Lawson has faced plenty of personal tragedy in her life.
Her younger sister, Thomasina, died from breast cancer at 32, and her first husband, journalist John Diamond, died of throat cancer in 2001, aged 41. She had her two children with him, Cosima, now 18, and Bruno, 16.

Occupation: College Student Personal Claim to Fame: I came out as gay when I was 12 years old, sixth grade in South Alabama. My parents definitely did not run out to join Parents of Lesbian and Gay (PFLAG) and it took a long time but they came around. It was weird at school but I didn't play the victim and run home to cry. I stood up for myself and explained that being gay wasn't who I was but part of who I am. Inspiration in Life: My nanny/ grandmother who is technically my great-aunt but she and her husband took my mom in when she was 2 months old after her dad abandoned her. My grandmother is the most amazing person I know. She is literally my 73-year-old best friend! She has been there for me through everything, definitely the biggest impact on who I am today.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: As far as my personality goes I would be a mix of Queen Parvati, Corinne and JT. I embody three of their distinctive traits; heartlessness (in a loveable way), low tolerance for trash and that people hate me but still want to be my best friend. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to play the game! The strategy, the challenges, I want it all! I don't care about the fame or whether people love or hate me. I would love nothing more than to see my verbally abusive stepdad's reaction when I win a million dollars on national TV. Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I live my life as I if I'm playing Survivor! I have a strategy for everything. Hell, the way I got my boyfriend was a strategy.

Today in Crazy-Ambitious Kickstarters That Might Wind Up Costing Way Too Much And Getting Delayed But Hey They Sure Sound Cool, here's The Mandate, a game about space.
The premise: you're the captain of a big spaceship, and you have to manage your crew, explore space, fight against other ships, and so forth. Also there's political strategy and RTS-ish combat and a giant space sandbox to explore.
It sounds wonderful, but they're only asking for $500,000, which strikes me as a very low amount for a game with goals this lofty. Check out some excerpts from the Kickstarter:
Explore a world of culture, with 1500 years of lore, ruled by the Tsars.
Survive a world of pirates, mercenaries & faction forces with their own agendas. Make enemies, or appease more powerful factions. The world reacts to your choices, and you must live with the consequences.
Utilize the human chain of command to manage your crew. All hailing from various colony ships, tasked by you to fill their stations. Watch them grow, learn, and experience… watch them tire, break down, and die.
Ships in The Mandate are the crew's home. Blast through shields and bulkheads to knock out the various sub-systems, ejecting the crew into space – all in real time. Board the enemy, or defend against boarding! Fight from space as your friends put boots on the ground, or team-up and storm the enemy ship with RTS mechanics.
Scavenge derelict wrecks and salvage what you can to survive. Expand your home base to rearm, upgrade and design new ships. Grow from a single frigate to a powerful battle squadron.
We've written 1500 years of history. It's up to you to write the future. The explorable reaches of space mix hand-crafted and procedurally generated content and is packed with historically relevant easter-eggs offering insight into the Mandate's rich lore.
Each level of the game, from the political tier of warring empires, through the strategic level of individual star systems and naval battles, down to personal interactions with other characters impacts on how your story develops.
The decisions you make in Mandate affect the world around you, and your crew. Every action has a consequence, and as you push your ship to the farthest reaches of the universe, diplomacy, and morality are pushed with it.
Affect the world with your actions, not with your words. The Mandate will not be challenged with a dialogue wheel.
I guess they had to throw in a dig against Mass Effect, huh? The Kickstarter's right here, if you want to check it out.

July 20, 2013
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's interim president selected a team of legal experts Saturday to rewrite controversial portions of the Islamist-drafted constitution, as the military-backed leadership moved quickly to try to capitalize on the coup that ousted the country's first freely elected leader.
While supporters of former President Mohammed Morsi still protest in the streets, Egypt's new prime minister called for consensus and participation of all political groups. But Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group officially has refused to negotiate with the new government, saying they are open for talks only after he is reinstated.
The persistent protest and clashes, however, continue to rock hope for stability in the country. Moves to amend the constitution are the latest push by the country's new leadership to move ahead with a military-backed timetable for a return to democratic rule to Egypt. The drafting of Egypt's constitution was one of the most divisive issues that came to characterize Morsi's first and only year in office.
In his decree Saturday, interim President Adly Mansour appointed the 10-member committee of judges and law professors that will propose amendments to the constitution. They have 30 days to suggest amendments. A second committee, comprised of 50 public figures including politicians, unionists and religious figures, then will have 60 days to review those amendments.
After that, citizens will vote on the proposed amendments in a referendum, according to the military-backed timetable. Parliamentary elections are to follow. In an interview with Egyptian state television aired Saturday night, Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said it is vital that Islamists take part in the political process, though none of Morsi's supporters are in the new Cabinet he leads.
"We cannot write a constitution when the country is divided. The country needs consensus," he said. "It is important we return to a country of laws." The Brotherhood say the only legitimate constitution is the one approved in a nationwide vote and ratified by Morsi in December. The military suspended the constitution after the July 3 coup.
El-Beblawi also denied that the country's army chief, Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, was pulling the strings from behind the scenes, saying he only spoke to the interim president regarding the formation of Cabinet.
Liberals twice walked out of committees drafting the constitution under Morsi, complaining that the Brotherhood and its allies dominated the process and stifled their suggestions. Protests over the constitution and the direction of the country turned deadly after Morsi issued temporary decrees in late November that put himself and the drafting committee above judicial oversight. The charter was then finalized in a rushed overnight session and passed in a referendum.
Unlike the previous drafting committee under Morsi, at least 20 percent of the second committee is to be represented by young Egyptians who helped galvanize street movements and women. Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, a leading figure in the Tamarod petition drive that mobilized the massive street protests that led to Morsi's ouster, said his group has launched a new initiative to collect suggestions from Egyptians on the constitution.
"We want to reach a constitution that is representative of the people's will," Abdel-Aziz told The Associated Press. He declined to comment on which articles the group wants amended. Meanwhile Saturday, a security official said unidentified assailants threw a bomb at a police station in the governorate of Ismailiya, between Cairo and the volatile northern region of the Sinai Peninsula. Part of the building and a police vehicle were damaged, but no injuries were reported, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
Clashes between protesters and security forces have erupted into violence several times since Morsi's ouster, killing more than 60 people. The most recent incident occurred Friday night in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura when unidentified assailants opened fire at a Brotherhood-led march, sparking a melee that killed three female protesters, authorities said.
The Brotherhood said two were killed by gunshot and one died after suffocating on tear gas. Medical officials said the protesters' bodies were examined Saturday. The prime minister and Vice President Mohammed ElBaradei condemned the incident in separate posts on Twitter.
The Brotherhood said the killings "shed light on the bloody nature of dictatorship and the police state under a military coup." Authorities are clamping down on the group, with eight top Islamist figures are under arrest. Prosecutors issued another arrest warrant Saturday for the Brotherhood's top figure, Mohammed Badie, and four others. The latest warrants accused them of inciting violence with police that led to the deaths of seven pro-Morsi supporters in Cairo this week.
Morsi has been held incommunicado at an undisclosed military facility since his ouster. He has not been charged with any crime. The Brotherhood's television channel and others sympathetic to the group have been taken off the air. On Saturday, security officials said that police raided the Iranian Alalam TV station and arrested its manager. Authorities said the station did not have the proper permits to operate in Egypt. An employee at the station told BBC Arabic that they had applied for permits, but, as has happened with other stations in the past, authorities delayed issuing them licenses to operate.
Rights groups have criticized the clampdown and Morsi's detention, as well as the deaths of dozens of protesters in recent weeks. In another sign of the interim government's drive to move on with the transition, Jordan's King Abdullah met with the country's president, army chief and other top figures Saturday in the first visit by a head of state to Cairo since the coup. The king's visit highlighted his support of the coup that ousted the Brotherhood from power.
Additionally, Egypt's new foreign minister Nabil Fahmy said Egypt continues to support the Syrian uprising but has no intention of supporting a jihad — or holy war — in the nation. Fahmy said that "everything will be re-evaluated" regarding the country's stance toward Syria. Morsi had severed diplomatic ties with Damascus just weeks before his ouster.
Fahmy also said Cairo is also "seriously assessing" its relations with the Syrian regime's key regional backer Iran. Morsi moved to improve diplomatic ties with Tehran.
Associated Press writers Maamoun Youssef and Mariam Rizk contributed to this report.

VDI Adoption Holds SteadyBy Guy Currier Print
While it won't be the shooting star of enterprise IT in 2011, virtualized desktop infrastructure is growing -- and the 3rd biggest tech trend of 2011, says Baseline research.
In another example of a market pausing to take stock of a promising new development, the speedy pace that virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) showed in 2010 should slow somewhat. But this is not to say that growth will not continue: A good VDI system offers management, security and energy advantages, particularly in organizations with a large, disparate user population, such as those in the education sector.
For example, the Dougherty County School System in Georgia deployed 1,500 seats in classrooms and computer labs in seven schools, using solutions from NComputing.
"Buying new desktops would have cost too much," says Les Barnett, who oversees educational technology for the school system. "We saved tens of thousands of dollars just on the initial hardware and software investment."
Nevertheless, while we do see increased deployment growth of VDI in 2011, many other areas of virtualization are likely to get more attention, so we don't expect VDI to be the shooting star it was this year. 2011 is the time for a good, sober assessment of this technology, to plan and strategize in order to take the best advantage of it.

What better way to move on from a failed marriage than to buy a sweet new bachelor pad? Well, newly single Ashton Kutcher is doing just that. The actor is reportedly drowning his sorrows and mourning the end of his marriage to Demi Moore by scoping out mansions where he can fully embrace his new bachelor lifestyle. The Two and a Half Men star is said to be perusing swanky homes, including a modern Hollywood Hills crib on the market for a whopping $10 million.
The chic bachelor pad that Kutcher most recently toured for more than an hour is fit for any bachelor wanting to capitalize on his single status. The home features a private screening room, a bar, massage room, infinity pool, open sky terrace, and of course, a hot tub. While the bachelor pad is on the market for $10 million, it's also available to rent for steep $50,000 per month in case after his divorce, Kutcher is in the noncommittal mood.
U.S. & World
Unfortunately for Kutcher, he did indeed own a home, which he renovated himself, located in the Hollywood Hills. However, Kutcher recently sold the modern craftsman likely because he thought his bachelor-era days were long gone. Now that's bad timing.

Hi Kristin, I too am considering merging my 3 blogs into one. It is especially hard to build a following when your readers have to go to different places. I will catch you over at Finding Eliza.

I believe your decision to merge the two blogs is going to work out beautifully!
I started out at LiveJournal in January with the notion that I would set up two blogs for both sides of my family tree. But when I got going and finally made the decision to move from a hosted blog network to self-hosting the blog on my own, I saw where one blog could handle both sides of my family content nicely.
