Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg, Part II
When we left off last time, Goldberg's book was just beginning. Here's what happened in the States.
Progressives in America approved heartily of Europe turning Red, and they set about duplicating the successes of their foreign brothers. To get a rolling start, they looked to the settled science of eugenics.
Nobody did more to advance the practice of eugenics (in America) than Margaret Sanger. She took her cue from sophisticated intellectuals like Karl Pearson, Ronald Fisher, John Maynard Keynes, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Julian Huxley (founder of the World Wildlife Fund), Adolph Hitler, and others. They thought "undesirables" were breeding so fast that the world would soon be overrun.
Sanger said, "The mass of significant Negroes…still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes…is [in] that portion of the population least intelligent and fit." She also said, "We do not want word to go out…that we want to exterminate the Negro population." Some things are better kept quiet.1
Sanger founded Planned Parenthood whose then mandate was to issue condoms and literature to help slow breeding. She would have had mixed feelings of that organization's eventual success. Thanks to Planned Parenthood, there are a lot fewer "Negroes" around than there otherwise would be. But most of this surplus population was prevented by abortion, which she did not cotton to. (Blacks disproportionately account for the largest number of abortions in the States.2)
Was Sanger the only American eugenicist? Not hardly. There was also progressive jurist Oliver Wendel Holmes, who thought imbeciles should be sterilized. He was broad minded, however; he wanted degenerates' tubes clipped, too.
President Woodrow Wilson, PhD, a progressive intellectual, thought himself superior. Before he assumed the American throne, he created in New Jersey a eugenic-minded "Board of Examiners of Feebleminded, Epileptics, and Other Defectives."3 Progressive Teddy Roosevelt warned of "race suicide." It wasn't just whites. W.E.B. DuBois wanted to blow out the racial pipes, too.
True, there was the odd liberal who disputed the consensus, just as there was the occasional right winger who was for it. But it was largely conservatives who had inveighed against the settled science of the day.4 This quotation from G.K. Chesterton is long, but worth reading carefully:
It is necessary to point out the essential fact which the eugenists seem to have forgotten all over again. We breed cows for milk; and not for a moral balance of particular virtues in the cow. We breed pigs for pork…Therefore we cannot, and do not, criticise them in the way in which we criticise our fellow creatures when we call them feeble-minded; or when we betray our own feeble-mindedness by calling them Unfit. For the very word Unfit reveals the weakness of the whole of this pseudo-scientific position. We should say that a cow is fit to provide us with milk; or that a pig is unfit to provide us with pork. But nobody would call a cow fit without naturally adding what she was fit for. Nobody would call up the insanely isolated vision of the Unfit Pig in the abstract. But when we talk about human beings, we are bound to break off the sentence in the middle; we are bound to call them Unfit in the abstract. For we know how varied, how complex, and how controversial are the questions that arise about the functions for which they should be fitted.
How did the scientific consensus of eugenics dissolve when there was such overwhelming support for it? Well, there are two ways to rid yourself of "undesirables." You can whack or prevent them before they make their first appearance, or you can kill them afterwards. Like Hitler did.
After the Holocaust, progressives looked into the mirror and did not like the evil they saw staring back at them. But they were unable to admit that the faces they saw were their own. So they convinced themselves that what they were seeing were hate-filled Others.
Why? Progressives then, as now, thought themselves both purer of heart and blessed with more intelligence than the other fellow. Accepting these comparators as axiomatic, it followed that the other fellow's motives were either evil, inferior, or both.
For example, Wilson, PhD, said that the rule "that all just governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, applies only to those who are capable of self-government." And since only a few had that capability, the state would have to look after the rest. Intellectual newsman Walter Lippmann, who leg was thrilled by Wilson, said that most citizens were "mentally children or barbarians." (Nowadays they say we are "ungovernable.")
Luckily, Wilson, PhD, had the advantage of the War that did not end all wars to mobilize his progressive army. He created a Sedition Act, which banned "uttering, printing, writing, or publishing any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the United States government or the military."5 (Nowadays we hear of the "Fairness" doctrine.)
His Justice Department created a Night Watch-like group6called the American Protective League which encouraged citizens to rat out their neighbors. APL patrols cracked the heads of those deemed against the government. These culminated in the Palmer raids, where subversive (i.e. non-progressive) elements were rounded up.
Goldberg says, "Hard numbers are difficult to come by, but it has been estimated that some 175,000 Americans were arrested for failing to demonstrate their patriotism in one way or another. All were punished, many went to jail."7 175,000!
In what must seem like a shocking coincidence, these were the same sorts of things Mussolini was doing.
Looking back on this era, progressives now say, " ." And they say it often.
In Part III: FDR, the Camelot myth, Johnson, and more!
1 Goldberg, p. 273. (All references are from the 2009 paperback edition.) Amusingly, a whitewasher has been active at Wikipedia (which I won't link to). The entry on Sanger contains the words "Despite allegations of racism…" Allegations! Sanger is a secular saint, of which no progressive dares speak ill, even anonymously.
2 If you want to have fun with a progressive, remind them of this fact.

4 No, I am not comparing climate science with eugenics; just as those who call skeptics "deniers" are not invoking the Holocaust.

An explicit example occurred in Britain, where Sir Oswald Mosley went through a complete "progressive" trajectory. As Wikipedia recounts:
He became a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP ) at only only 21, fell out with the Conservatives, and "crossed the floor" to sit as an Independent MP on the opposition side of the House of Commons.
In March 1924 he joined the Labour Party. He immediately joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP) as well and allied himself with the left. Mosley and his wife Cynthia were ardent Fabian Socialists in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1926 Mosley returned to Parliament and when Labour won the 1929 general election he was appointed to the post of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, de facto Minister without Portfolio, given responsibility for solving the unemployment problem, but found that his radical proposals were blocked. Mosley was always impatient and eventually put forward a whole scheme in the 'Mosley Memorandum' to find it rejected by the Cabinet; he then resigned in May 1930. Thirty years later, in 1961, R. H. S. Crossman described the memorandum: "… this brilliant memorandum was a whole generation ahead of Labour thinking".
Determined that the Labour Party was no longer suitable, Mosley quickly founded the New Party. The New Party increasingly inclined to fascist policies, becoming more radical and authoritarian. After his election failure in 1931 Mosley went on a study tour of the 'new movements' of Italy's Benito Mussolini and other fascists, and returned convinced that it was the way forward for him and for Britain. He determined to unite the existing fascist movements and created the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1932.
So there you have it: impatient with compromise, radical, keen to learn from foreign example, he differed from many American progressives by being rather honest about his increasingly loathsome and authoritarian ideals.
The history professor at my college has answers to all of this, cleaner even than the pages of Wikipedia. Of those imprisoned in the Palmer raids, and who were released by Harding, of all people, he says "Harding was simply following the commands of the Supreme Court." As though the original imprisonment had no significance at all, and that Harding obviously would have kept these people in prison without the Court commanding otherwise. In his mind Harding is somehow the less honorable.
Our arguments about the Mellon Tax Cuts, and the New Deal, and the Hoover Administration (being not free-market oriented as he maintains) are all equally unsatisfying. Once these historians have settled on an explanatory story, no doubt about it ever creeps into their minds again.
Though the 1960s, Byrd Machine bureaucrats followed the worst of ´progressive´ impulses. Virginia´s totalitarian regime was not unique, in the South nor nationally. ¨Science,¨ mis-read Darwin and Freud, translated by politicians, produced what I consider the worst and most harmful violations of human rights.
´Post normal science´globally echoes the attitudes and actions of my grand-parents´generation.
"… just as those who call skeptics "deniers†are not invoking the Holocaust."
Are you being sarcastic? Because it seems quite obvious that is precisely what is implied by the term "denier."
Seldom if ever mentioned by anyone, but particularly by liberals, is the fact that Catholics and Evangelicals had as a primary reason for opposing the teaching of evolution as then practiced the support in evolution instruction for eugenics; that's also why they favored the prosecution of Scopes as a way to oppose eugenics and propaganda in favor of eugenics.
In Germany the academics and medical doctors were ardent supporters of Hitler. The head of the German equivalent of the American Medical Association wrote a gushing letter to Hitler declaring they were at his service.
I strongly suggest that anyone interested in this topic get a copy of a stunning 2 hour documentary called: Maafa21 . Maafa21 is the most stunning and "offensive" look behind the eugenic agenda still going on today. The producers of Maafa21 went directly to the source, researching the information from the papers of Margaret Sanger , Planned Parenthood, their board, and their eugenic supporters. Fully documented quotes and video of the founders and US eugenics society links to Hitler and the Nazis will leave you stunned. Maafa21 shows evidence that Margaret Sanger – founder of Planned Parenthood was a member of the American Eugenics Society (AES), spoke to their meetings, met with their VP's and also spoke to the KKK (proof in Sanger's autobiography). In addition, other Planned Parenthood members were Eugenics Society members, including Alan Guttmacher, who was at one time the Vice President of the AES. Maafa21 will leave you asking how Planned Parenthood receives millions of tax dollars a day from the American Government. . Maafa21 will tell you things the media and the government do not want you to hear. This film is not partisan either. Maafa21 shows how both parties are involved in eugenics against the Black Community and includes racist audio of President Nixon explaining why people vote for abortion – any guess? Maafa21 will walk you through history and push you straight into the 21st Century where you will see all the dots connected and this evil and racist Eugenic Plot revealed right in front of your eyes.

For some interesting stats, see:
The twin fascisms that causes most massacres, wars, "conflicts" today:
Arabism is racism (Arab racism)
Millions upon Millions are/became victims of [pan-] Arabism which is the worst current form of racism in its gigantic proportions, like: Kurds Jews (not just in Israel) Berbers (the real natives of North Africa), Africans (not just in the genocide in the Sudan or in Egypt on native Nubians by Arab invaders – till today), Persians, etc.
Islamism is bigotry (Islamofascism)!
The Islamic supremacy that "works†towards its vision of "final Islamic domination on the entire planetâ€, from Middle east to Africa from Asia to Eurabia, from terrorism & massacres in multiple countries (like: Thailand, Phillipines, China, Indonesia, Tunisia, Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon India, USA, France, Israel, Russia, UK, etc.) to propaganda, the war includes on Muslims who are not radical enough…,
Let's face it! that entire war on Israel & the Jews since the 1920's by infamous facsist Mufti Haj Amin Al-Husseini who started the "genocide campaign†[and continues by the children, grand children of Arab immigrants into Israel – Palestine – now convenienently called "palestinians"] in a clear outlined declaration to 'kill all Jews', is nothing but out of pure Arab Muslim bigotry.
Why does biased media blame Israel defenders from vicious Arab Muslims who use civilians when they attack Israeli civilians… so that their civilians (they prefer kids to) die then parade with the casualties as "innocent victims"???
While the Islamo Arab dictatorship goes on…
Israeli [ungrateful] Arabs won't mention FAVORITISM by democratic pluralistic multi-racial Israel in: land, courts & universities, by the same token, the totalitarian & mullahcracy dictators of Iran with its Hezbollah thugs & militant "Palestine" anti-freedom forces cast their genocide plan under "freedom fighting."
William, sorry, my sarc-o-meter must have been on the fritz! Excellent article, by the way.
Sorry I missed it.
"Progressive Teddy Roosevelt warned of "race suicide.†It wasn't just whites. W.E.B. DuBois wanted to blow out the racial pipes, too."
Never mind.

I just bought a house and the banisters are gummy-sticky dirty. You can actually scrape some of the yucky stuff off them. I'm wondering if there is anything that would dissolve this stuff. They are nice wood so I don't want to mess them up. Thanks!

Have you tried Goo Gone?
Yeah, I would suggest anything citrus-based. It'll make the wood super shiny, too!
Hi, there's a product called "Cabinet Magic" that I used on my kitchen cabinets and it really did a nice job. It removed the grease and grim...the kind that can dull the finish and they look great. I believe it was purchase at Home Depot. They do have a website...www.magicamerican.com
Good Luck
For older house: I cleaned the banister in my (100-year-old) house with mineral spirits and a lint-free cloth. It will remove wax and scunge without removing the shellac or varnish underneath.
I cleaned my grandmothers 125 year old bannister with Murphy's Oil Soap. Good for wood.
I get good results with foam kitchen cleaner. Spray and let the foam do it's job. It will lift the gunk without soaking the wood.
For oil, varnish or lacquer finishes:
1 qt Warm water
3 tbs Boiled Linseed oil
1 tbs Turpentine
[test in an inconspicuous area first]
Keep the mixture warm in a double boiler.
Rub the finish with a soft cloth dampened with it.
Wipe the surface clean and polish with a dry cloth.
Have you tried a product called Awesome from dollar tree stores? I have used it for everything. Also try a magic eraser.
Don't use magic eraser!! I did and it took off the varnish on wood railings
Murphy's Oil Soap might work and not harm your wood.
21 year old home with my banister my husband re varnished it 3 years ago. Now has gooey gummy stuff on it. What is a smart way to get it off.
I use the MR CLean magic eraser.
I used Murphy's oil because I already had some and didn't want to go to the hardware store. I got it super clean, but did take the varnish off.
Equal combination of coconut oil and baking soda. Make a paste and rub onto banister with a damp micro-fiber cloth.

Turas-Mara is Gaelic for a long journey. The 19th century saw many Diurachs leave Jura in search of far-off lands and pastures new. Jessie Scott was one such Diurach who wrote a heartfelt poem of her sorrow at leaving. "Through ne'er to tread they shores again, my heart with thee shall aye remain. Where'er I wander I'll retain, my dearest wish for Jura."
Turas-Mara is an expression matured in casks from around the world that honours those who carried Jura in their hearts as they journeyed to distant lands. Adorned with a compass to steer you home, Turas-Mara is a little bit of Jura to take with you, wherever you're travelling.
Finished in a mix of bourbon barrels, Bordeaux wine and ruby port casks resulting in an array of enticing flavours of honeyed vanilla, succulent black cherries, fleshy grape pulp and juicy raisins.
Rich and Intense with black forest fruits and plums.
The Isle of Jura can be found nestled off the west coast of Scotland. After a lengthy crossing, the Paps of Jura, the islands three magnificent peaks, break through the clouds to greet your. To a Diurach this is their welcoming home. The bold outline captures the soul of the island with its strong community spirit, well-loved local characters, captivating tales and of course an unrivalled whisky from the distillery established in 1810. Their peaceful and fortunate way of life is the only one they know, the only one they'd choose. With its one road, one pub and one distillery producing the finest single malt whisky, Jura is, quite simply, in a world of its own.
Become a Diurach
Diurachs is the Gaelic word for the people of Jura. Proud of our land and out whisky, we will gladly bend the ear of any visitor willing to take the time to listen. We are a small and close-knit community of less than 200, united by the island we love and the warmth of its people. With a dram of the good stuff in hand, we toast the health of our friends near and far. Life doesn't get any better. So why not become an honorary Diurach?

Height Ideas For Kitchen Bar Furniture
Height Ideas For Kitchen Bar Furniture – For most people the breakfast bar in the kitchen is somewhere to sit for a few minutes while you grab a quick bite to eat or drink your morning coffee with one eye on the clock. Most of the time the short period that you spend sitting here is due to the bar stool. Many people purchase bar stools that aren't comfortable for more than maybe 10 minutes and this has a detrimental effect on the kitchen as a whole. Before we get into the specifics of bar stools it is worth mentioning that you should opt for a design that allows you to sit on the stool for extended periods of time.
Breakfast kitchen bar furniture is the same height as the rest of the kitchen worktops. Most of the work surfaces have a height from the underside of the work surface to the floor of just under 1 meter (90 cm). You need to measure it first however we know that this kind of height is quite common so a kitchen bar stool with a seat height of around 65-68cm is recommended. This will allow enough space to sit comfortable and will be high enough so that you aren't stretching to reach to the top of the breakfast bar. A good rule to follow is to measure the height of your breakfast bar to the floor and your seating height should be around 22-25 cm below the underside of the work surface.
We have already seen how the height of a kitchen bar furniture stool can affect the comfort of sitting at the breakfast bar however it has more far-reaching consequences. For instance a bar stool that is low down can look out of place in the kitchen and one that is too high can be uncomfortable to sit in and take away from the overall design. If you want your kitchen or home bar to look and function as it should then the height of your bar stools is something to take into consideration. Not only does it affect comfort levels and how long you can sit in the stool itself but it also contributes to the design and look of the room.bar kitchen ideas, small kitchen bar ideas, small kitchen bar design, small kitchen bar, kitchen snack bar ideas, kitchen bar top ideas, kitchen bar images, kitchen bar ideas, kitchen bar design ideas, home bar furniture ideas, height of kitchen bar, contemporary bar ideas, breakfast area furniture ideas, what height should a breakfast bar be

little abner
As Sadie Hawkins Day approaches, Daisy Mae hopes to win the hand of Li'l Abner by catching him in the traditional race. A senator comes to visit to tell the residents of Dogpatch that their town is to be used as an atomic bomb testing ground, unless they can find something necessary about the town. Could Mammy Yokum's Yokumberry tonic (which Abner has taken every day since he was a baby) be the key?
The story of Winston Smith presents the world in the year 1984, after a global atomic war, via his perception of life in Airstrip One (the former United Kingdom), a province of Oceania, one of the world's three superstates; his intellectual rebellion against the party and illicit romance with Julia; and his consequent imprisonment, interrogation, torture, and re-education by the Thinkpol in the Miniluv.

Argentinian star and Inter Milan captain, Mauro Icardi may be on his way to Real Madrid in a move €110 million move. This follows its post on his Instagram page where he posted, "to say goodbye is to grow" .
The 24-year-old striker has been linked with a multi-million euro move to the reigning Spanish and European champions.
The Argentine has attracted Real's interest after scoring 18 times in the league.
His wife, Wanda Nara, who is also his agent, is an avid user of social media.
And the forward quoted the Argentine song 'Adios' with the phrase "to say goodbye is to grow" on his official Instagram page, along with the caption "Bye Bye", and a waving emoji.
Inter insisted no negotiations were under way with Real Madrid or any other clubs. Moreover, the 110 million euro termination clause cannot be exercised in January.
Coach Luciano Spalletti has insisted Icardi is committed to Inter but the coming months could be decisive for the Argentine's stay in Milan.
After Inter's storming start to the season Spalletti's side have faltered and have not won since 3 December.
Inter are in fourth and the final Champions League spot for next season, but are under threat.
Forty-eight hours from the end of the transfer window, the words of their captain inflamed a day of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain to bring Argentine midfielder Javier Pastore to Milan.

Existing aquatic environmental conditions in this reach of the Carp River are described in the Carp River Watershed Study (Robinson Consultants et.al. 2003). Relevant information is summarized below.
Stream flows through the summer period in the Carp River are very low often in the order of 50 l/sec in the vicinity of the Village of Carp although the drainage area upstream of this point is nearly 120 sq. km. At the other extreme spring flooding is extensive, because the river flows through a broad, flat floodplain. The floodplain defined by MVCA in this river segment is 200 – 300 m wide, with flooding routinely extending beyond the pastureland along river as shown in Figure 1. Surface water quality conditions are relatively good, however nutrient levels, as typified by total phosphorus are routinely in excess of the PWQO of 0.03 mg/l, indicating moderately eutrophic conditions. These nutrient enriched conditions are made worse by the general lack river flow during the summer season. The combination of low flows and readily available nutrients has led to extensive aquatic plant production in the river, to the point where there is no evidence of a weed free channel.
Land use in the Carp River Watershed is rural with more intensive agriculture concentrated within the broad floodplain of the river. Historically and currently both the tributaries, the main channel and the streamside environments of the Carp River have been extensively modified to improve drainage and facilitate agricultural land use practices. These practices have modified the morphology of the river and altered its sediment load and sediment carrying capacity leading to a number channel adjustments that have contributed to the current degraded condition of aquatic and streamside habitats. Examples of these changes can be seen within the study area and include:
• Straightening and widening of the river, eliminating historic bends and ox-bow meanders;
• Side casting dredged material on the riverbanks, increasing bank heights, disconnecting the river from its floodplain;
• Removing most of the woody and non-woody natural vegetation along the riverbanks;
• Creating a uniform channel, eliminating aquatic habitat features such as pools and riffles;
• Increasing sediment loading to the river from traditional cultivation practices, increasing the amount of fine sediment deposited in the river
The current "bankfull" channel dimensions vary from about 15 –20 m with a current water depth of approximately 15 – 30 cm over a soft clay-muck substrate. In late summer, much of the channel is obstructed by dense, emergent aquatic plant growth, often dominated by cattails. Stream banks are low (in the order of 1 m) and show evidence of trampling by livestock, resulting in slumpage and minor failures. Stream velocities are extremely low, negligible under low flow conditions, particularly where aquatic plants completely cover the channel cross section. Based on the remnant meander features, the old river channel had a meander length of about 200 m and a width of about 160 m and would likely be classified as an "E" type channel (Rosgen 2000). Existing channel gradient is negligible through the entire study reach. Side casting of material dredged from the channel has created a berm that, once over topped by spring floodwaters, actually retards the recession of floodwaters from adjacent lands thus delaying drying of farmland.
A typical bankfull channel dimension for a natural watercourse with this drainage area should be in the order of 12 m with a depth of about 1 m.
Fish and benthic invertebrates were sampled at a location immediately downstream of the study area. The benthic invertebrate community (aquatic insects, clams, snail, crayfish) that was present is typical of degraded water quality conditions, primarily as a result of high nutrients, low baseflows, poor habitat conditions and periodic low dissolved oxygen conditions. The community received an Ephmeroptera-Plecoptera-Trichoptera (EPT) score of 2 and a Water Quality Index (WQI) score of 4.4 indicating poor water quality. These indices are based on the various types of aquatic invertebrates present at the site which are given a score based on their relative abundance and general sensitivity to water quality degradation (nutrient enrichment and chemical contamination). The benthic invertebrate community scores (WQI and EPT) may also reflect suspended sediment loading that leads to a reduction in the diversity of habitats for these organisms and may regularly smother existing habitats. The fish community present is a tolerant warm water fish community with a total of 6 species present and an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) score of 27, represented by the following:
• Tolerant warmwater fish community: this community includes longnose dace, creek chub, white sucker, common shiner, pumpkinseed, central mudminnow, johnny darter.
The IBI score is similar to the EPT and WQI scores except it is based on the abundance and relative tolerance of fish species. At this location, darters and dace were not present primarily as a result of lack of coarse sediments (sands and gravels) and the paucity of riffles.
The target fish community for this segment of the Carp River is a diverse, moderately tolerant, warmwater community, represented by the following:
• Diverse, moderately tolerant cool/warm water fish community: This community includes rock bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye (seasonally), redhorse sucker species, a number of sensitive minnow species such as blackchin shiner, blacknose shiner, rosyface shiner, mimic shiner.
While it may not be feasible, except in the long term to restore conditions suitable for all of these species, it is feasible to restore suitable conditions for many of these species, in particular northern pike, smallmouth bass and redhorse suckers. Without a concerted effort to restore both instream and streamside habitats, these species will continue to be restricted to the lower river downstream of Kinburn and some of the tributaries such as Poole, Huntly and Corkery.
There are some minor drainage features that discharge into the Carp River along this segment of the river, however these are intermittent in nature and do not provide fish habitat. They do provide a source of seasonal flow, primarily during springmelt.
There are several old meander features that represent the historic pattern of the river through this reach. Several of these features contain water for much of the year and also appear to be underlain by fine textured, organic substrate of indeterminate depth. There are some large trees, probably willows associated with these remnant features.
Riparian woody vegetation is generally lacking along most the river, except in the vicinity of the old meander features near the south end of the study area and some small areas near the north end of the study area near the Carp Road Bridge. Some springs are reported to occur in this vicinity.
Land Use/Agriculture
There is currently one active farm, located on the southeasterly corner of the study are, and two other properties, one opposite the farm and one northwest of the farm that includes both sides of the river. The farm includes a farmstead and is an active dairy farm. The northwest property is used as seasonal pastureland and the property opposite the farm is retired agricultural lands that have been partially planted with trees.
The lands adjacent to the river are used as pasture and are currently limited to unimproved pasture as a result of frequent flooding poor soil conditions (productivity and drainage) and the presence of remnant meander scars from the former path of the river. Livestock are pastured for at least a portion of the year on these lands and livestock have unrestricted use along both sides of the river along all of these three properties. Livestock occasionally cross the river. Under current conditions, these lands can only be used as marginal pasture.
Other Land Uses
There are a number of older residences along Rivington Street adjacent to the river as well as some newer residences that have recently been built, that are set farther back away from the river. There are a number of storm water management issues associated with runoff from the urban lands along the northeasterly side of the river that may result in nutrient and sediment loading to the river. Some of these lands and associated road drainage enter the river via some open drainage channels.
Recreational use of the river and its banks is limited to private use and current access to the river is very limited, since the riverbanks are relatively steep in the vicinity of the bridges. The river itself is quite shallow and weed-choked in summer making navigation, even by canoe, very difficult. The soft substrates in the river and along its banks also make access difficult if not treacherous, at best. In general, there are few points where access to the river is feasible within the Village of Carp.
The existing rail line is currently in periodic use, however, ownership will be transferred to the City of Ottawa in the future. Current plans are to use the rail line as part of a recreational trail system linking to communities and features along the river. This trail system is envisioned to include trails along the Carp River as well as making use of some rural roads, and will link up with other existing trails in rural and urban communities.

I'm bleeding again. Nothing serious, just a scratch. It'll stop soon.
Ironically, I was searching for the safety guard for the scroll saw because I promised to refit it before putting my hands near that blade. It gets in the way, but then that was probably the point of it. Anyway, I caught my arm on something sharp in one of the boxes of stuff but at least I found that safety guard.
I'm not used to having someone worry about me. I've never been a worrier myself until recently, but then I spent most of the last three decades pretty much oblivious to the world. Last I recall, everyone was scared of nuclear war and a new Ice Age. Then it became rising sea levels and mass immigration. Now it seems everyone worries about everything.
Being scared of nuclear war was an odd one. They used to tell us we'd get three minutes' warning before the bombs hit. What were we supposed to do in three minutes? What if you were out in the garden when the news came on the TV?
In the end, most of us decided we'd rather not have the warning at all. One second happy-go-lucky, the next second radioactive ash. Sounds like a good clean death, and we'd enter whatever afterlife there might be in a good mood.
Now we have to worry about being inexpertly decapitated by a lunatic with a knife, or shot while sunbathing, or just plain old stabbed. These are all horrible and massively painful ways to die. Can't we have our atomisation by nuclear explosion worries back? They were, in retrospect, so much easier to deal with.
Those grooming gangs in the Rotherham area are finally being rounded up, slowly. Not too fast or there'd be nothing to worry about. The rogue travellers who have had pretty much free rein for so long are now being stamped on. Slowly. Not too fast, you have to stay worried about those too.
And of course, ISIS. Or whatever satellite group claims the name. There is now talk of sending in the military to fight them. That'll be the same military that has been hammered by cuts, underfunded, undermanned, underequipped and with morale beaten down by the threat of redundancy notices being issued on the battlefield. Yes, that military is to take on a guerilla army that's dressed like civilians and will then be castigated for shooting people who are dressed as civilians.
Going in to war knowing you have no way to really win must be the ultimate feeling of hopelessness. Whatever worries appear in my life surely cannot compare to that.
These days there is so much to worry about that I can't find it in me to worry about any of it. It's an overload of external worries. Yes, it's dangerous out there in the world but you know what? It always was and always will be.
You can't go through life worrying that you might be beheaded while unfashionably dressed in an Iraqi desert. That worry is easily circumvented by not going there.
Yes, you might get stabbed in the street or even in your own home. Trust me on this, it doesn't need any fanatical interpretation of any religion for that to happen. That risk has always existed and will continue to exist even if knives are banned from private homes.
Guns are banned but people still get shot. Drugs are banned but people still go crazy on crystal meth. Criminal gangs and some religious fanatic groups are illegal but they're still here.
Child abuse is illegal but still happens. It's not new. Even the scale of it is not new. Most of the cases coming to light are historic, from years back. Nobody seems much interested in stopping the abuse that will be happening right now. It's so much easier to prosecute the old cases.
So many things to worry about. So many scares and fears. So many monsters under the bed. There seems to be a new one every day.
Yet I don't worry about any of them.
I worry about what they're distracting us all from.
(I've stopped bleeding, by the way. I know someone out there would want to know that)

Its probably been discussed many times...... but no change or comment from SWC.
Why do Imperials get snipers and rebels get Van Guards in Guard Reserves.... not least as Imperials use the Sniper upgrade and before you know it there's starships bombing you too! They're so much more powerful and knock a Jet with Jet skins on before you can get near them....
it seems so unfairly balanced i just can't understand the thinking.....unless of course the SWC staff are all imperials and want to give an unfair advantage?
Can someone confirm if this is being addressed as I am close to walking away from nearly 3 years of playing

A pay policy for the whole City
When I reported back in June that a revised European Union directive would have the effect of applying new rules on how bonuses are paid to more than 2,500 City firms - up from just 26 large banks right now - there was widespread scepticism (see my post, Crackdown on hedge fund pay).
However the FSA has today confirmed that is what will happen.
And the City watchdog points out that equivalent restrictions are also to be applied to insurers and most fund managers, including all hedge funds, when two other EU directives come into effect in 2012 and 2013.
However the FSA's consultation document on the implementation of the rules implies that it may in practice allow some firms to breach the pay restrictions, if those firms are not regarded as big enough or important enough to pose dangers to the stability of the financial system.
That said, many firms will henceforth be obliged to defer between 40% and 60% of any bonus over three years and to pay no more than half of any bonus in cash, as opposed to shares or other securities.
Many City firms won't like this infringement of what they see as their fundamental right to pay as much as they like to whom they like in whatever way they like.
But there's no escape from the rules within the Europe Union. And for big banks, there's very little hiding place anywhere in the world.
But for other financial firms, shelter from the official scrutiny may be obtained by fleeing to Asia or Wall Street or Switzerland.

Bo and Luke decide to leave Hazzard County to start their own lives, but with out each other even a family seems lonely, will they leave their new lives and go back to Hazzard? Find out tonight.
Bo looked sadly at the childhood room that he shared with Luke ever since he was a small child; the fond memories of the past came to his mind. This was a place of happiness, through good times and some tears where shed here as well. Bo took in his hand a picture of them when they where boy's he looked at the picture with tears in his eyes. Bo put the picture back on the shelve as he took one last look at the now empty room, as he closed the door behind him. Luke stood waiting in his brown jacket holding his black suite case, as Bo came out and shut the door behind him.
He looked up at his older cousin with a lonely expression, Luke saw the look in Bo's eyes and cast his own to the ground. Well I guess this is it, as he put their cases in the back seat. Daisy came out with tears in her eyes. I'll miss you boy's be careful and don't forget to write, Luke and bo gave daisy a hug and a kiss on the cheek as Luke touched her face and wiped the tears away from daisies eyes. Please don't cry daisy well come visit again, oh Luke be quite and get on out of here! She said laughing half heartedly as tears filled her eyes again. bo was next as he gave her a brotherly sisterly hug, now you and uncle Jessie take care now, said bo his voice quivering as he held back the tears. Jessie stood watching as the boy's said their good by's and climbed into the general lee as bo started the car and drove down to the Chickasaw airport.
Hogg had declared their probation through so that they could leave and live their own lives, when they pulled into the air port friends where there waiting to see them off. Roscoe, enous, and cooter stood by their cars as Bo parked the general a few feet in front of them. They both climbed out the window as they took their luggage out and placed in front of the general. Calling crazy cooter this is lost sheep one, calling crazy cooter. Cooter smiled sadly, this is crazy cooter here ya loud and clear over, you're a good friend cooter we'll miss you an awful lot, and yeah so will I.
Well I guess that's it this is lost sheep 1 hanging up for the last time over and out, cooter voice began to quiver as he smiled half heartedly tears coming to his eyes. that's a big ten four lost sheep 1, a shout out to you too lost sheep 2, Luke smiled tears swelling in his own eyes as he and cooter hugged in a friend way. As did Bo, roscoe smiled and was almost in tears himself, Luke I just want ya to know that well miss chasing you boys! Said roscoe, sure will Luke I'll miss you and Bo something awful. Said enous smiling his usual goofy smile, Luke shook roscoe hand as did enous, and then Bo did the same.
They both turned back to cooter. You look after the general lee for us, cooter again said half heartedly. Don't you worry none about ol general I won't sell him, Bo and Luke took one last look at the three. Flash gave a bark as they smiled, and good luck to you to flash you ol scoundrel, said Luke as he patted flash on the head. Flash barked again; well I guess this is good by for the last time, said Bo to roscoe and the others.
I reckon it is, and with that Bo and Luke got on the plane as they waved good by to cooter and the others. Bo sat in his seat next to Luke looking lost in thought them where silent for a moment then Luke broke the silence. So I guess this is good by little cousin, said Luke smiling slightly, Bo sat silent then looked at his older cousin. Yeah I suppose so but it ain't for ever, said Bo his pushing his blonde hair out of his eyes. For the rest of the trip they where silent neither spoke to the other, 3 hours later the plane landed at the air port in Oklahoma they exited the plane as Luke turned to Bo. Bo looked up at his cousin as he smiled weakly. Luke turned to leave but just before he did bo said his name, he stopped took a deep breath and turned around, tears where running down bo's face as he ran over to Luke and hugged him tight Luke placed his arms around bo in a brotherly embrace. Luke's tried to hold back the tears, as he breathed in deep; you take care of your self Bo. Bo clung to Luke as he continued to cry not caring that he sounded like a child, Luke's voice began to quiver as tears escaped his hold.
Bo let go of him as he tried to dry the tears, you be careful now Bo. you to Luke, said bo Luke picked up his suite case then turned and walked toward the airport station, his eyes filled with tears as he knew bo was watching him leave. Bo watched Luke until he was out of sight as Bo picked up his own bag and placed his hat back on his head, he wiped his eyes and walked toward a different plane as he boarded and took his seat. The man next to him noticed the look of distance in bows face, well hey there kid what seems to be the problem? Asked the old man, Bo shook his head as he cleared his thoughts then looked over at the kindly man. Nothing I'm fine, said Bo oh come now I know that look any where you defiantly have a problem now why don't you tell ol Lennie all about it.
Again Bo looked at the man strangely then sighed as he sat silent thinking hard, well when ever you're ready to talk I'm here. The plane ride was very long on a count he was going to Louisville to work as a car dealer; Bo woke as he looked out the plane window at the inky darkness. He looked over at the man who was watching the movie gone with the wind on the airplane screen. The man sensed Bo's awareness as he turned and smiled, well hello again young man I trust you had a good rest. Oh yeah sure, said Bo blinking the sleep from his eyes, so do you want to talk now or not at all? Asked the man, Bo looked at him again and smiled, sure why not. after bo finished telling his sad story, the man nodded his head, yes I know exactly how you feel I left my cousin's in hazard county as well about 35 years ago, and there's not a day that goes by that i don't ask myself did I do the right thing? But nothing ever goes back to the way it was before. Bo nodded his head in agreement, as he turned and looked out the window again thinking on what the man had said.
Bo felt himself slip into a light sleep as he leaned back on the seat and let the comfort of the cushioned chair take him into a silent slumber. One of the women who worked there covered Bo with a blue blanket as he pulled it up around his shoulders leaning back on the pillow she put behind his head. Luke entered his new house as he set his suite case down on the table; the new house was completely furnished as he flipped the switch on. he took a seat on the couch and sighed a heavy sigh, he felt tired so he drifted off to sleep on his couch as he lay there sleeping bo's face came to his mind. His big smile his thick curly blonde hair and a laugh that could heal even the saddest of hearts, the next day Bo awoke only to find that the plane had just landed. he stretched and stood as he grabbed his bag and followed the people off the plane, on the far side of the parking lot sat a small but roomy car it looked a lot like a small SUV with the ragtop down.
The color of the car as red, Bo sighed and headed toward the car, all ready he missed the general lee as he climbed into the driver's side of the car. He remembered the sound of the horn and the thrill of the chase, when he and Luke would try to out run roscoe and enous. bo started up the car and drove away from the air port as he pulled up to the first stop light, a man behind bo honked his horn as bo continued on up the road until he pulled down a dirt road. The breeze blew his long blonde hair as he pulled into a small drive way and killed the motor, he looked up at the small farm house and gave a deep sigh. This home reminded him of his home in hazzard it was small with 3 rooms, and a circle drive way. Just to the left a large fence sat surrounding 4 acres of knee high grass brittle and yellow, it would take work but Bo was determined to be a simple farmer just like the good ol days. Although it would not be the same with out Luke and the others but he would manage some how, he entered the small house and flipped on the light, the living room was small but roomy as he too sat down on a recliner that sat in the corner in front of the room.
A small TV stood in front of the room as he flipped it on and surfed through the channels, a few minutes later Bo had drifted off to sleep until the next day. In the morning Bo woke early and realized he had better get to work, so he slapped a piece of meet on two pieces of bread and hurried out the door. When he arrived the shop sign said welcome to zuzu's shop, he parked the car in the small space between the building and the flag pole that flew the American flag. Bo looked up at the flag as he saw the rebel flag instead, even though it really wasn't the rebel flag. Well hello there stranger what can I do for you this fine day? Asked a young woman behind the counter, howdy names Bo duke I'm here about the head mechanic job I was offered. Oh we've been expecting you Miss Zuzu's office is on down the hall way last door on the right.
Thank you kindly, said Bo tipping his hat and walking toward the door, he knocked lightly on the door as a soft voice answered. Come in, Bo entered the room and closed the door behind him; the woman looked up at Bo with a warm smile and asked him to take a seat. Howdy mam names Bo duke I', here about the job, oh yes Bo duke you subscribed for the head mechanic job. Uh yes mam, please call me zuzu! She said smiling, Bo just smiled a little. Now where are you from? she asked, hazzard county miss zuzu said bo with a country boy smile on his face, hazzard county huh I have some relatives up that way you wouldn't happen to know them would you? Well I might what are their names? Asked Bo, Mister JD Hogg. she exclaimed, bo started laughing of course I know him he's only the biggest money monger in the whole hazzard territory, he's the one always pulling shuck n jives on me and Luke.
She laughed, yeah that sounds about like him, now here's your uniform if you wish to wear it! She said looking at him smiling. Well do you want me to wear it? Asked Bo looking at her side ways and smiling with that cunning charming smile of his. Honey I don't care what you wear as long as you do the work, she said. Bo just smiled and stood, well mam I think I best be getting to work, I'm much obliged for the job Bo tipped his hat and nodded his head then left the office. Smiling as he shook his head and tisked at the way she acted, Luke sat up in his own home as he looked at the clock, ooh shoot I better get to work. said Luke hurried to the bathroom as he checked his appearance in the mirror so as to look good at the interview, he placed his hat on his head and hurried out the door, he climbed into his large crown Victorian and drove out of the drive speeding up a little.
Luke missed Bo and the general lee the thrill of speeding down the hazzard county roads, throwing up dust and out running roscoe p Cole train, and enous straight. It was only a few minutes before he pulled into what looked like a forested area as a large sign said commission of loggers this way, with a big arrow pointing to a small log cabin. He made his way over and knocked on the door, yes come in came a female voice Luke was surprised to see one of his child hood friends sitting behind the desk. Jessica is that really you, she looked at Luke squinting her eyes why Luke duke you ol sun of a gun what you doin all the way from Hazzard County? She asked, well me and Bo decided to leave hazzard to start own lives, said Luke as he sat in the chair in front of the desk. gee it must have been hard on bo I know how much you boys' cared about each other shoot when we was growin up you two where inseparable. Luke smiled sadly as he cast his eyes to the floor, yep walking away from him just leaving him there at the airport was the hardest thing I ever had to do. said Luke almost in tears, Luke I'm sorry I upset you, no it wasn't you it's just I don't think I can manage with out bo he's just like a brother to me.
Well you let me know when your ready and I'll pay your way to go see Bo and give him my regards. Luke smiled and looked at his hands as his thumb rubbed the end of his hat, well I trust that you can handle being head logger you'll be over all the other workers and if they don't listen you let me know and I'll see to it that they know. Luke smiled and tisked, he stood placed his hat back on his head and said later Jessica then walked out the door. Bo entered the shop as the other workers looked up from their work, howdy! Said Bo as he took his hat and placed it on a side table, one of the workers wiped his hands and stopped in front of Bo. So your the new head mechanic well welcome to zuzu's work shop names jimmy and these three loafers are john, jimbo, and lacy.
Howdy every body names Bo duke, he shook hands with each person and smiled, so what do we have to do? Asked Bo, well this car here is having some problems but I can't seem to figure out what the deal is. Well let me have a look, said Bo be my guest said jimmy stepping aside. Bo rubbed his hands together as he rolled up his sleeves and moved to place himself in front of the car, he felt around for a moment then with a smile on his face turned back to jimmy. There's yer problem the oil tank has leaked all over the carborator, all we need is to clean it up and replace that oil tank and carborator. Jimmy smiled wow you really do know something about cars don't ya? Asked jimmy, well I should me and my cousin built a dodge charger together.
Wow a dodge charger we don't see many of them around here now a days, Bo just smiled. Luke made his way toward a small group of men as they looked up at Luke, howdy names Luke duke. Said Luke stopping in front of a rather large man, the man smiled warmly howdy there stranger names roger and these here lazy bums are Lennie, Rodriguez, and Antonio. Olla senior, they both said Lennie just nodded his head. So what are we doing? Asked Luke, well where cutting some small trees and carrying them to that truck over there, mind if I help asked Luke, not at all right then let's get to work. after work bo said good by as he drove back to his little farm he used the money he made that day to buy a push plow and a small hoe as he headed to the fence and opened the gate closing it behind him. He spent three hours working on the 1st acre until just about all of it was plowed and degrassed. A tired Bo tromped through the door as he headed for the bathroom to take a nice cold shower.
after wards he ate some cold chicken from the fridge and then headed for bed, he set the alarm clock for six as he laid back and put his hands around the back of his head staring at the ceiling wishing that he had his cousin Luke to talk to, with in the next hour bo had fallen fast asleep as did Luke 2 weeks passed and still bo and Luke became more and more adapted o their new life style, bo had almost the whoa 4 acres plowed and ready for seeding, as Luke became more and more popular with the workers at the logging job. But it didn't seem to matter Bo felt like he was all alone, he felt distant and spaced out sometimes he would break into tears for no reason and would just want to ly around and stare at the ceiling. Likes mind had wandered away from him as he sat one of the logs and stared blankly into space, antonym noticed this sudden change in Luke as he looked at his newly found friend. Senior Lukas what is wrong? Asked Antonio sitting next to Luke, Luke did not answer. What is bothering you my friend? He asked again, Luke snapped back into focus as he looked at Antonio he could see the worry in Antonio's eyes. Oh nothing I'm fine just a little tired that's all, Antonio knew why he was so distant. Ah me! Said Antonio, Lukas my friend you miss your young cousin don't you? asked Antonio, Luke nodded his head as he fought back the tears, I just can't manage with out him he was my every thing the one purpose I had to live, I just can't make it with out him Antonio, I just can't. By this time tears streamed down his face as he buried his hands in his face, now I know it was a mistake to leave Hazzard County. Said Luke, I know it seems like I am a child. said Luke, Antonio placed a hand on his shoulder, my friend you take it from a friend if it was me I would not just sit around feeling sorry for my self and beating my self up.
I would how you say leave my new life and return to the old, because a man who is not a happy one might just as well be dead, that is what my mother always told me so lukas maybe you should consider what I said. He stood up and smiled, then returned to his work Luke sat for a moment as he thought about what Antonio had said wiping his eyes. Bo sat in the far corner of the shop starring blankly at the floor with a lost _expression on his face, jimmy was concerned for Bo he had been acting like this for almost 2 weeks now. Jimmy wiped his hands free of grease and walked over to Bo as he pulled up a chair and sat down, hey Bo what's wrong you seem distant almost not here. Said jimmy, Bo looked at jimmy and sighed, oh nothing is wrong I just don't feel very good that's all. Jimmy snorted, oh come on Bo vie known you long enough to know that something is bothering you, now come on tell me I'm your friend.
Is it your cousin Luke? Asked jimmy, Bo tried to hold back his tears but they escaped his grasp as they trickled down his face. Yes Jim, I just can't function with out him, we grew up together we never went anywhere with out each other except when we argued. I just can't believe he's not here, when he left me standing there at the air port I wanted to die. well let me tell you something bo if I where you I would not beat myself up over it I mean if it where me I'd drop what I was doin and head back to hazzard. Bo wiped his eyes as he looked at his friend jimmy; jimmy said nothing else as he left Bo sitting there. Bo knew that jimmy was right and that he had made his mind up, he walked up to jimmy and spoke. Your right I'm going home to hazzard I can't stand being away from Luke, and even if he doesn't come back then edleast I would have daisy and Uncle Jessie. Lacy came over to him and smiled, good for you Bo we'll miss you, and he nodded his head and shook each of their hands. Good luck Bo, and with that Bo drove back to his small farm house as he packed his clothes quickly and drove to the air port. Yes I would like one way plane ticket to hazzard county, name please? Asked the girl, Beauregard duke.
She printed out the ticket and handed it to him; he paid and hurried off toward the plane. In likes town he had just bought his ticket as he entered the plane, hours later likes plane arrived at the hazzard county air port. Shortly after Bo's plane arrived, Bo hurried off the plane as his feet touched hazzard soil, Bo took in a deep breath of the familiar air that he was so used to. He was finally home, Bo looked around and what he saw made his heart leap for joy there on the far side of the parking lot sat a red dodge charger cooter and his eldest cousin Luke. Bo ran all the way over until he was about 4 feet away from Luke, Luke, said Bo softly. Luke turned as he stared at his cousin, Bo! With in the second Bo and Luke where locked in a brotherly embrace, tears of joy streaming down their faces. I though I'd never see you again I missed you so much, said bo crying and laughing at the same time, they broke the hug as they all laughed and cried, even cooter shed a few tears. come on little cousin let's go home, Luke slid across the hood as he jumped in through the window, bo jumped in thought the drivers side as he started up the car and speed out going 70 as he speed past a small place where roscoe sat. they stopped the car in front of roscoe as Luke called out to him, come on roscoe ain't ya going to do your job the dukes are back and where hell on wheels yeeeeeheeee! Bo sped off throwing dust up as roscoe giggle that little laugh, come on velvet ears let's cuff'em and stuff'em gugugu!!! He chuckled and sped after Bo and Luke. Hey Bo you remember that bridge out at peach tree creek? Asked Bo with a smile on his face, he shook head with a sly grin.
way ahead of ya cousin, bo made a 180 as he sped around in the other direction until the bridge came into view, half the bridge was destroyed as bo gave it more gas, the general hit the bridge as it sailed through the air and landed with a thud on the other side. Roscoe saw the bridge and tried to jump it, but his car splashed into the creek as the water came up to the window, Bo and Luke stopped to make sure he was all right, as roscoe pulled flash from the car. Luke and Bo laughed out as they sped away. Roscoe with a mixture of anger and complete joy yelled out, I'll get you dukes.
Bo and Luke sped into the yard as they parked and jumped out of the general, Daisy looked out the window as her heart jumped for joy. Uncle Jessie Bo and Luke have come to visit; Jessie and daisy hurried out the door daisy threw her arms around Bo as he picked her up and spun her around. Oh Bo, Luke I'm so glad you are here, well get used to it daisy cause where back for good. Daisy cried out with joy, what made you boys changes your minds? Asked Jessie, Bo put his arm around likes shoulder and shook him lightly, well let's just say an unhappy man would be better off dead, daisy just laughed as Luke and Bo smiled. Come on let's go inside I'm starved, said Bo as they all went inside.
The end.

What's a 'dueling piano bar,' you ask? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. At Bobby McKey's (172 Fleet St.National Harbor, MD 20745), two to four piano players take your song requests and turn them into some of the best live entertainment you'll find. And I'm not just talking about moderately okay singing. I was seriously wowed at how talented these guys were. They turned Eminem's 'Forgot About Dre' into a classic show tune. If that's not talent, I don't know what is.
I recently visited Bobby McKey's and had a wonderful girl's night with my friend, Candice. We arrived a little late (and by late I mean by 15 minutes), and the place was already packed to capacity. However, because we made reservations, our seats were saved and we sat next to one group celebrating a birthday on one side and a group of friends enjoying a night out on the other. We quickly made friends with our neighbors and they showed us the ropes for surviving a night at Bobby McKey's.
In order to hear a song we liked, we were to write our request on a piece of paper, walk up to and place it on the piano and include a tip (which increases the likelihood your song is played). There's also a way for you to let your waiter/waitress know when you're ready for another drink, which is always a plus in my book. Seating was a little tight so it's best not to get up unless you really need to.
After one of the piano players hit on a girl celebrating her 21st birthday with her parents AND grandparents in tow, I knew I was in the right place.
I didn't have cash to tip so my request - Back That Ass Up by Juvenile - wasn't honored (but would have been hilarious to hear). But that didn't mean I didn't enjoy the variety of songs played. From Whitney Houston to Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift to Eminem, there was something sang for everyone's musical taste. And when crass jokes are made between songs (in a good way), it makes the night that much more enjoyable.
I had a hilariously good time at Bobby McKey's, which is why I'm giving away a $200 gift card for you and your friends! Enter to win by following two simple steps:
- Subscribe to Will Drink For Travel's YouTube channel; and
- Follow Bobby McKey's on Instagram.
That's it! Are you celebrating a birthday? St. Patrick's Day? Bachelorette party? Or just want to do something fun with your friends? This is the perfect gift to do just that.
Tips for having fun at Bobby McKey's:
- Make reservations and be on time.
- Become fast friends with your neighbors.
- Take advantage of the drink specials.
- Come with cash so you can tip to hear your favorite songs.
- Have a sense of humor.
The giveaway will end next Thursday, March 16th, at 5 p.m. EST, just in time for St. Patricks Day. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!

First Impressions: Minami-ke Tadaima
Posted by du5k Labels: 3 Episode Test, First Impression, Minami-ke, Winter 2013
I'm in the camp that only acknowledge this as the second season of Minami-ke. While I'm not completely wowed by the first season create by Daume, Asread's Minami-ke Okawari and Okaeri had a pretty shitty sense of humor, coupled with some of the worst animation I've seen. I've always missed Minami-ke's unique sense of comedy, and it's about time they brought it back.
I didn't have high hopes for Tadaima, because I'm mainly just hoping that they don't fuck this up too badly. And while I didn't have a very good impression of studio Feel... man, this season is simply awesome! Gone were are horrible acting and animation, and even the first season's awkward pauses. Within three episodes, Tadaima has already became one of the funniest, and cutest slice-of-life comedy I've seen.
I love the sisters of the Minami household. Touma, Uchida and Hosaka are some of my favourite characters too. Minami-ke has one of the most likable sets of characters out there, and it's just awesome to see them in the proper, beautiful form they deserves. This is going to be the best season of the title yet.
Outlook: Awesome!

Those that know me in person have likely heard my stance on children already but for those that have just stumbled onto my blog I'll cliff notes version it for you and say; it's complicated and it would have to be the right person for me to want them.
Today I got this email:
"Let me ask you something: Not that I wanna knock you up before our first hello, but eventually I am hoping to become a father and have a (small) family life. A family that combines travel, sports, arts and lots of love…are you gonna be wanting the same? Your profile seems vague on that."
My profile states that I don't have kids and I am "not sure" I want them, which I guess is "vague" but not really.
So I answer this guy back telling him that kids are a big deal. Not something you just jump into with no regard (if you can help it). I mention the rate of pregnancy complications that go up the older a person is. I also mention things like Autism and Downs Syndrome that start to hit scary high numbers the older the couple is. I talk about not wanting to be 55-60 and sending my first kid off to college. All to say I am open to the idea of kids but the older I get the more I wonder if it is in the cards for me.
I should prob. mention this guy emailing me is 43, which means almost all those things I mentioned above apply to him; but double.
He responds back:
"You crack me up in a good way….because you're very thoughtful and analytical like me. But I think you may have me beat there…:-) How do you know you won't meet a man and just know he's a man you wanna create life with instantly? I have that effect on women…j/k – I'm being waaaay facetious now but I found your thought process to be pretty cute.
How long do you take to order a meal?"
I know the meal comment is likely a joke, but I have a real problem with flippant comments like that. Comparing the life changing choice of bringing another human being into the world with if I want chicken or a salad for dinner is like comparing . . . Shit I don't know what it is comparable to as the mental leap is so huge I can't even think of something like it. It is NOT being over analytical to put real thought into a human life. We are not talking about a gold-fish you can flush down the toilet when it gets hard, you get old/tired or want your old life back.
Umm, I think I'll have the chicken.
For those wondering what some of the risk factor break downs actually looks like (and these are only female risk factors for this one set of defects, older men bring their own set of risks as well, plus there are lots more out there):
Mom's Age Risk for trisomy 21 (downs) Risk for all triomies
20 1 in 1,667 1 in 526
25 1 in 1,250 1 in 476
30 1 in 952 1 in 384
35 1 in 385 1 in 192
40 1 in 106 1 in 66
45 1 in 30 1 in 21

It is almost two decades now since people started drinking Red wine for heath benefits but a very later study states that Beer too has many benefits to offer, particularly to women, if consumed in moderation.
Ranging from reducing the risk of breaking of bones to combating diabetes,the benefits of Beer are listless.. To begin with,Beer increases the longevity of life and protects,more particularly women,from problems related to mental derangement.
Health Benefits Of Beer
> Though the amount of antioxidants contained in Beer are equal to Red wine, the exact anti oxidants are different from Red wine because the hops and barley that are used in the production of Beer contain flavonoids that are slightly different from those flavonoids found in grapes and used in the production of Red wine.
> As far as the nutritious values of Beer are concerned, it contains more vitamin B and proteins than Red wine.
> Though, physicians as a rule, may not prescribe any alcoholic beverage for the health benefits of their patients, a moderate consumption of average alcoholic beverages like Red wine or Beer have many benefits to offer… But to derive maximum benefits from these beverages you need to exercise caution and limit your consumption to moderate levels only.
> It is also important to note that consumption of alcohol in excess, for sure, damages your liver and may cause certain types of cancer… So moderation is the key word here.
> According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderation means one glass (five-ounces) of Red Wine per day for women and two glasses for men.. In case of Beer it is 12- ounces per day for women and two for men… Any consumption beyond this level is definitely harmful to health.
If you are sure about being in limits as suggested by the Dietary Guidelines For Americans then you can enjoy the following health benefits of Beer.
Beer For A Longer Life
The most important benefits of Beer is offering longer life… After reviewing around fifty studies, The U.S Department Of Agriculture, in 2005, stated that moderate drinkers of alcohol live longer than non drinkers.. The USDA also estimates that a reasonably controlled drinking prevents about 26,00 deaths a year caused due to lower rates of heart disease, stroke and Diabetes.
Beer For A Stronger Heart
In a 2011 analysis of sixteen earlier studies that involved more than 200,000 people and conducted by the researchers of Italy's Fondazion di Ricerca e Cura, found a 31 percent lesser risk of heart disease in those who consumed one pint of Beer a day than those who consumed greater amounts of alcohol,whether spirits,Wine or Beer… One or two glasses of Beer per day raises the levels of HDL ,the good cholesterol that prevents arteries from getting clogged… > A Harvard report also states that moderate consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of heart attacks or death caused by cardiovascular diseases by 25 to 40 percent. > Researchers at The Harvard School of Public Health found that moderate consumption of alcohol,including Beer,helps in preventing blood clots that block blood supply to brain,heart and neck.
> These are the clots that cause the most common type of ischemic stroke.. This is one of the vital health benefits of Beer.
Beer Reduces The Risk Of Cancer
One of the other most important health benefits of Beer according to a Portugese study is that A certain type of carcinogens called heterocyclic amines(HCAs), produced when meat is pan fried, can be eliminated by seventy percent if steak is marinated in Beer.. Researchers believe that the sugars in Beer help in blocking HCAs from forming.
> The scientists also found that Wine and Beer contain same amounts of anti oxidants but there is a slight difference in them because of the flavonoids found in grapes and hops are different.
Beer For Brain Health
According to a study conducted on eleven thousand older women in 2005 by the New England Journal Of Medicine, it is found that a moderate amount of Beer a day has kept many mental ailments in them, including Alzheimer's disease,at bay.
Beer For Stronger Bones
Perhaps the biggest health benefits of Beer lies in its silicon content.Very few people know that Beer contains high levels of Silicon essential for bone health… In a study conducted at the Tufts University and other centers in 2009, men and women who enjoyed one or two glasses of drink every day had higher bone density with the maximum benefits found in those who opted for Beer or Wine… However, gulping more than two glasses of Beer in a day increases the risk of fractures.
>In a study conducted in 2010 on hundred types of Beer from around the world, the Beer Pale Ale is found to be the richest in Silicon content and offers best bone building benefits, while non alcoholic Beers and light lagers contained the least amount of Silicon.
Beer For Healthier Kidneys
A study conducted in Finland states that men who drank limited amounts of Beer daily have lowered their risk of developing Kidney stones by about 40 percent. It is also said that since dehydration increases the risk of kidney stone formation, the water content in Beer helps the Kidneys to function healthily… It is strongly believed by researchers that the hops in Beer curb the leeching of calcium from bones.
> Most of the times that lost calcium could end up in Kidneys as stones… Another important point in the health benefits of Beer.
Beer Boosts Vitamins Levels
In a study conducted by the Dutch at the TNO Nutrition And Food Research Institute, the researchers found that the participants who drank Beer had thirty percent higher levels of vitamin B6 in their blood than those non drinking participants.It is also twice the amount of vitamin levels found in Wine drinkers.
> Surprisingly, Beer contains a good amount of vitamin B12 and folic acid too. Since women need quite a lot of vitamins they can enjoy maximum health benefits of Beer by consuming it in moderation.
Beer Reduces The Risk Of Diabetes
In a Harvard study conducted on 38,000 middle aged men, the researchers found that alcohol increases insulin sensitivity and thus helps in protecting against Diabetes.
> Men who drank one or two glasses of Beer per day reduced their risk of developing type 2 Diabetes by 25 percent.
Beer Lowers Blood Pressure
In A Harvard study conducted on 70,000 women aged between 25 and 40, the researchers found that moderate Beer drinkers are less likely to develop high blood pressure, the vital cause of heart attack.
Physicians for the fear of over dosage do not as such prescribe alcohol or Beer for health benefits… However, if you are habituated to gulp Beer or for that matter any other alcoholic drink, be warned that it should be within the parameters of strict moderation and if you cross that,you know what happens.. But if you are not used to drinking, there's no need to start right away.
More or less you can derive similar benefits from a daily dose of exercise, warm ups or other strenuous work outs.. However, if you are a man or woman at a moderate to high risk of heart disease and with no history of alcoholism, a limited dose of daily alcohol consumption would lower the risk .
These are the health benefits of Beer according to the researchers but to be extremely judicious is my view point here.

Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty.
I wish you gladness,
friend of mine,
And so this wish conveys,
Good Will and Cheer in every line,
for this rare of day..
Like birds, let us,
leave behind what we dont need to carry,
GRUDGES SADNESS PAIN FEAR and REGRETS.
Life is beautiful Enjoy it.
Grant that I May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
Happy New Year Isn't it a bit early for a
New Year drink and resolutions and plans for
the coming year? Well, not in this part of the world.
Because it is of course time for.
Janus the Roman God with two faces,
one head looking forward to the New Year
and the other looking back at the old is
yet another image associated with New Year
New Year Wish.
Perhaps a bit wiser
a bit kinder, too,
a little bit braver
a heart that's more true
a touch of believing
I've not known before
in joys I'm receiving
a little bit more.
