A crowd of supporters cheered tonight as Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan landed in Kentucky.
Ryan's plane landed at 5:00 p.m. in Lexington, where he walked down the stairs and immediately began a meet and greet with nearly 200 supporters.
Students from UK, Transylvania and Centre College gathered along the fence and took pictures with Ryan as he passed.
"He looks like I kinda thought he would," a Centre College student said. "I was super impressed by his casual cowboy boots and his khakis... He's super personable."
Centre College has been busy preparing to host the debate. The students said today 100 Centre College students were chosen to watch the debate in person.
Republican Congressional Candidate Andy Barr of Lexington was also at the airport today to welcome Ryan to the Bluegrass State.
"I'm gonna tell him good luck, and I'm gonna tell him thank you for your service to our country," Barr said about talking to Ryan. "I know he's going to represent us well and he's going to be an excellent Vice President."
Barr added that the debate is a chance to see the candidates in an unfiltered light.
"When you see them in a debating position, unfiltered, having an opportunity to present their views," Barr said, "That is a more enlightening insight into who these men really are, and what their positions are, and how they're going to solve the country's problems."
And when asked if he thinks if the VP Debate will have an impact on voters, Barr said, "When you have 70 million viewers tuning in and watching these debates, I think it absolutely does matter."

Police said one other person was inside the carriage house when they arrived, but that person is not considered a suspect.
Investigators have no suspects at this time. AN LMPD homicide unit is investigating.

According to the VCA Animal Hospitals, dogs that have excitable natures are not calmer after being neutered. The only behaviors affected are those specifically linked to the presence of male hormones, which are no longer produced after the procedure.
VCA identifies hormone-driven behaviors that are typically reduced after neutering. Sexual behaviors, such as seeking out female dogs, roaming, mounting and masturbating, lessen or disappear. Male dogs are less driven to mark their territories and aggressive behaviors affected by hormones also decrease.
In addition to diminishing negative behaviors, VCA states that neutering prevents testicular cancer and lowers the odds of prostate cancer. Both are significant threats to older dogs that have not been neutered. Neutering also helps cut down on the number of unwanted dogs that are euthanized annually.
1. Massage the dog, moving your hands soothingly in a circular motion from the tops of its ears all the way to its tail. The dog will more than likely lie down and close its eyes,
Sometimes after they have been neutered, like after a week or two, they still have the ability to want to mate and they can still impregnate another dog, so u gotta be careful. Source
Try playing classical music to calm your dog. Is he hyper because a...
He just thinks he can do whatever he wants

Still confused on what paper stars are? This'll be a little card in each of my paper star packets from now on! I have a limited space to work with so this is what I could fit~
just adjust opacity and size depending on how crisp lines you want
and here's the brush for that last WIP
I've seen a few fashion posts trying to expand the "Marie Antoinette is not Victorian" rant, but this stuff can get complicated, so here is a semi-comprehensive list so everyone knows exactly when all of these eras were.
Please note that this is very basic and that there are sometimes subcategories (especially in the 17th century, Jacobean, Restoration, etc).
Handy, basic visual reference tool.
Then it becomes The Great War, inter-war, The War, The Cold War, the "holy shit not that much war this decade", and The War on Terror.

Yes just what I needed
(Source: bakrua)
So my historical costuming resources list from 2011 was less than a page long- I'm not saying that I've learned a lot in the past three years, but this list is now sitting pretty at a solid nine pages. Whew. And people wonder why I want to redo this damn series.
This list is by no means an exhaustive one- it's a list of (primarily western) historical fashion resources, both online and offline, that is limited to what I know, own, or use! It's a work in progress, and I'm definitely hoping to expand on it as my knowledge base grows. First things first, how about a little:
- Read, and read about more than just costuming. Allowing yourself to understand the cultural and historical context surrounding the clothing of a particular region/period can be invaluable in sussing out good costume design. Looking at pictures is all well and good, but reading about societal pressures, about construction techniques, daily routines, local symbolism, whatever else will really help you understand the rhyme and reason behind costuming from any given context.
- Expand your costume vocabulary. When you're delving into a new topic, costuming or otherwise, picking up new terminology is essential to proper understanding and furthering your research. Write down or take note of terms as you come across them- google them, look up synonyms, and use those words as a jumping off point for more research. What's a wire rebato? How does it differ from a supportasse? Inquiring minds want to know.
- Double-check your sources. Especially on the internet, and double especially on tumblr. I love it, but it's ground zero for rapidly spreading misinformation. Books are usually your safest bet, but also take into account their date of publication, who's writing them- an author's biases can severely mangle their original source material.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. Do everything you can to find out information on your own, but feel free to reach out to people with more specialized areas of knowledge for help! Be considerate about it- the people you're asking are busy as well- but a specific line of questioning that proves you're passionate and that you respect their subject matter expertise can work wonders.
Okay, onto the links!
It's impossible to overstate the importance of getting off the internet and looking into books! God bless the internet, but books are (generally, this isn't a rule) better-researched and better-sourced. Bibliographies also mean each individual books can be a jumping off point for further research, which is always a fantastic thing.
Remember- owning books is awesome and you should absolutely assemble your own library of resources, but LIBRARIES. Libraries. You'll be surprised to find what books are available to you at your local library.
- British Costume from Earliest Times to 1820
Fine book with lots of first hand sources, but be wary of the photography in the book- reproduction costumes and thus somewhat less reliable. Though hilarious.
- Corsets and Crinolines
Norah Waugh's invaluable survey of corsetry and corset patterns- used the world 'round by modern corsetieres.
- Costume in Detail: Women's Dress 1730-1930
Elaborate line drawings/diagrams of extant period garments! A fantastic survey.
- Cut of Men's Clothes
PDF available online! Patterns for men's period garments.
- Cut of Women's Clothes
Patterns for women's period garments.
- Greenwood Encyclopedia of Clothing Through World History
This is a library find, unless you have a pretty three hundred bucks lying around- a great, general resource.
- A History of Costume
A lot of good text and info, to be taken with a grain of salt. Be wary of any reconstructions and or "supposed" patterns that aren't directly based on extant garments or firsthand accounts.
- Fashion (Taschen 25th Anniversary)
A survey of the Kyoto Costume Institute's fashion collection- broad but beautiful. On every fashion student's bookcase.
- Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style
Great overview of fashion history from the Smithsonian and DK publishing.
- The History of Costume: From the Ancient Mesopotamians Through the Twentieth Century
Broad costume survey, second edition.
- What People Wore: 1,800 Illustrations from Ancient Times to the Early Twentieth Century
this is one of those "I am putting this here because I used it a ton when I was younger" but man, mixed bag. Really cool survey to browse through, but also work that is a copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy in most instances and thus not necessarily trustworthy as a resource.
- What People Wore When: A Complete Illustrated History of Costume from Ancient Times to the Nineteenth Century for Every Level of Society
A collection of Racinet and Hottentoth's costume plates from the 19th century. A beautiful survey but, since these are later illustrations, to be taken with a grain of salt.
Patterns fo Fashion books
Detailed, hand-drawn diagrams of historical fashion, inside and out. Pretty amazing stuff.
- Patterns of Fashion: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women, C.1560-1620
- Patterns of Fashion 1: Englishwomen's Dresses & Their Construction C. 1660-1860
- Patterns of Fashion 2: Englishwomen's Dresses & Their Construction C. 1860-1940
- Patterns of Fashion 4: The Cut and Construction of Linen Shirts, Smocks, Neckwear, Headwear and Accessories for Men and Women C. 1540-1660
Fashion in Detail books
Not what you want if you're looking for photos of entire costumes- note the "in detail" bit up there. Just a beautiful series, and great reference for all the little things you might miss otherwise. The V&A has an amazing fashion collection, and it's great to see them share it with the world.
- Nineteenth Century Fashion in Detail
- Seventeenth and Eighteenth-Century Fashion in Detail
- Underwear: Fashion in Detail
- World Dress: Fashion in Detail
The one non-western entry in the series.
- Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700 - 1915
LACMA's response to the V&A's series mentioned above, also an invaluable resource for historical fashion detail.

Pilot of Crashed Sikorsky S-76C Recovering
Mark Schaberg, one of the pilots of MBNA's Sikorsky S-76C that crashed into New York City's East River near 42nd Street on Friday, was released from the hospital yesterday and is "resting comfortably at home," according to a company spokesman. Schaberg was the most seriously injured of the eight people on board–which included another pilot and six top executives, one of whom was the CEO of the Delaware-based company. N317M, a 1996 Turbomeca-powered version of the twin-turbine helicopter, crashed into the river and went inverted moments after taking off from the 34th Street Heliport. The NTSB is investigating the accident. The company said a second S-76 that was scheduled to fly MBNA executives from the heliport to Delaware that day was grounded after the accident. Meanwhile, the Safety Board continues its investigation of the crash of another helicopter into the East River just three days before the S-76 accident. In a preliminary report published yesterday, the NTSB said it confirmed throttle and flight control continuity, as well as fuel type and quantity in the 1977 Bell 206L that went into the East River as it was taking off from New York City's Wall Street Heliport on June 14. The pilot and five passengers received minor injuries in the crash of the sightseeing helicopter, operated by Helicopter Flight Services. A sixth passenger was seriously injured in the crash.

Not only does this mess with my gait and flow, it also causes pain during and after running. Sometimes after a longish run my right foot has been sore for days. The Bunion Bootie has fixed that. It not only gives me good support during the run, it also has significantly reduced the after-run soreness to almost nothing. Just as importantly it improves my confidence and disposition! I have not really tried anything else expect explored the option of surgery which I am not keen to pursue. I have never had surgery so I don't want to start now. I have always preferred to find alternative remedies. Bunion Bootie is my kind of solution."

Snowing in Sun Valley!
It is snowing in Sun Valley! There is a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until Sunday and they are calling for three to five inches of new snow in the next 24 hours.
The inch of new snow that accumulated overnight on Friday made for some seriously happy skiers and boarders early Saturday morning. The soft layer of fresh snow over the machine-groomed terrain was pretty packed for most of the day, but the skiing was still good. With the opening of Ridge, Blue Grouse, and Lower College on Friday, the most snow and the most terrain of the season made for a day of soft snow, weekend-crowded slopes, and some fun turns. Lookout Express also opened to the delight of many, though plenty of cold skiers and boarders were still seen riding the Gondola to stay warm.
Ski team kids covered the mountain, amped to get the race season started. The Snow Sports School was also busy, with ski and snowboard lessons taking place all over the mountain. The mini Terrain Park on Lower River Run was packed with riders in bright jackets, tall T's, and big pants. The lodges are busy, with kids racing to get the chocolate chip cookies in Warm Springs Lodge when the bell rings and friends crowding around the new River Run fire pit. 'Tis the season for things to get busy and for the snow to keep falling!

With a focus on the overall speeds across the globe there is also a focus on the state of mobile which simply shows the use of mobile data booming. Take a look for yourself.
Akamai Q1 2013 State of the Internet Report
What does this mean for marketers? It's pretty simple. Faster connection speeds means less lag and cleaner delivery of content whether it is advertising, posts or whatever. As we move more toward an image centric web it is nice to know that image heavy sites and specific content options will be less likely to bog down in delivery.
Of course, it will be incumbent upon marketers and do what people do when they have more money. Meaning that people spend to their level of available cash in many cases. With connection speeds increasing, marketers have to be careful not to go over board with their use of super-rich media which will only get slowed down no matter what bandwidth is available.
How does the increase in capacity of Internet connectivity impact your marketing efforts?

Anyone take Bio202 at Rio?
- 0Jul 11, '05 by Calzonan RNThe reason I'm asking is I'm studying for the midterm right now and my instructor gave us a 'focus guide' to study from. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of info we 'need' to know for the midterm compared to what the lesson plan usually has. I took 201 through Rio and remember how the midterm and the final were, it just seemed with them that I hadn't studied the right info (even though I did pretty good on them, thanks to the essay portion). Unfortunately, my instructor is very hard on the essay portion so I can't really count on getting the complete 20 points there.
Did your instructors give you this same 'focus guide' and if so was studying that enough to do well on the midterm?
- 2,654 Visits
- 0Jul 12, '05 by Curious1alwysThat is a negative on that. Nope, no "focus" thingie. Just the explanation of how the midterm would be set up.
Rio's tests are big time yuck. Best advice? Memorize the essays, or atleast have something to say on each. That is your best gaurantee. I studied like you and still felt that I had studied the wrong things. But I think most everyone feels that way. I did well anyways as I am sure you will too. Good Luck to you!!!
- 0Jul 15, '05 by Calzonan RN:hatparty: Just wanted to say that I passed my midterm!!!! Whoo hooo
Didn't do as good as I hoped, only got a 55, but I'm pretty sure I got all the essays so that gives me a 75. Hopefully I can pull a B out of this class now.
- 0Jul 15, '05 by Curious1alwysSee........................I told you so!!!! Great job!!:hatparty: :hatparty:
Thanks for comin' back to tell me!
- 0Jul 15, '05 by Calzonan RNAnytime, thanks for replying to my posts, sometimes it seems so hard to get information when you're in the process of trying to get into nursing school. It's nice to have this forum, just wish more students and potential students were on it.
Did you hear that Gateway is offering a new part-time, evening program? My friend got a letter in the mail about it.
- 0Jul 18, '05 by Calzonan RNKlone- Thanks. I actually am in my last pre-req class and applied for nursing school in June. I'm hoping to get into the Spring nursing program, probably at Glendale (part-time), I think you're already in that program, right? It's been a long road getting these classes done, I figured since I already have a BS most of my pre-req's would be covered, wrong! I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel though. Is the program at Glendale really hard? What are your hours if you weren't taking any co-req's? I'm taking FON and patho in the fall to get them out of the way, and that's all the pre-req's I need.
Eelyak- The midterm and the final for Bio202 are both very difficult. It takes a lot of dedication to study in your own time, but it's doable. My biggest tip would be to study really hard and get to know all the systems each week, and refresh the systems you've already learned from past weeks, every week so that you're not bogged down when it's time to study for the midterm. There's a LOT of information you need to know, and it's not just memory, it's more application for a lot of the questions. Also, learn your summarize your learning ?'s like the back of your hand. I really felt I nailed them, but my instructor still docked me 4.5 points (he's a tough one). Also, there's one instructor that is really really hard, PM me and I'll tell you which one to avoid.
- 0Jul 19, '05 by Calzonan RNSorry, my bad. Congrats on 10 more months!!

All right, all right, everybody. We need to get back to the gripes here.
My GOTD: ANTS!
Damn and blast the little buggers to hell and back. I have to be really careful about keeping the kitchen clean and dishes washed etc. during the summertime to keep them at bay but yesterday, when the power went out, I just left the dishes in the sink. They were asking people to conserve water because they weren't sure when they would be able to get the pumps re-started plus it is kind of difficult/dangerous to wash dishes in the dark. This morning my sink was crawling with the little beasts. I know they have a place in the ecosystem and all that but the ecosystem is outside, not in my kitchen.
My gripe-
I can't sleep. I hate working night shift. I feel tired a lot and my sleep pattern sucks. Slept yesterday (Friday) from 1 pm to 530 pm. Went out to dinner and then came home and fell asleep on the couch from about 930 pm to 12 pm. Been awake since. Its almost seven. I have to work tonight and I am going to have to sleep sometime today. Who knows when I'll be able to?! Eff...

Has anyone used the Taco X-Pump Block? (10 Posts)

Have used the mixing block a few timesbut never with steam, so can't answer for your exact application. Worked great for the small radiant, and one s/m I used them for. The 510 tekmar is a great choise in m opinion. We use a lot fo Tekmar, but usually complete controls, injection pump mixing, etc., and a lot of TN4 stuff. The Taco control on the mixing block is actually something Tekmar makes for them, and takes care of the mixing, outdoor reset, etc, and the 510 and 079 sensor should match up great. Steve

Looking for advice or experience with using the X-PumpI am (slowly) renovating an 1830's farmhouse and have gotten around to creating a new 160 sft bathroom on the second floor. I've done my heat-loss calcs and come up with 16-18 btu/sqft. I am using WarmBoard with ceramic tile. One loop for the whole floor, about 140 ft of pex-al-pex. I've calculated max water temp to be about 90. In the basement I have a new MegaSteam from September (very happy with it) which was piped with valves to facilitate hooking up the required HX, pumps, etc. for the new radiant zone. Any thoughts on using the X-Pump in this application? It looks like a nice simple package which would require very little additional hardware (exp tank, air eliminator, over-pressure, isolation, and fill-drain valves). My primary concern is with the desire to get the source-side pump as low down to the floor as I can get it, and whether there might be some other reason that makes this a bad idea that I've missed. Thanks in advance, -Phil

these are all....good ideas....but...if it's only 160 sq. ft. would not electric mat be more cost effective? Or if you have the tube already in..a small electric water heater. set the heater to 95 and you are done....just a thought.

Also looking for thoughts on thermostatI am planning to use a tekmar 510 with the 79 floor sensor. Any thoughts on that selection? Thanks!
Dave Stroman April 4, 2008 @ 11:28 PM
Contact this userWhen you use a steam boiler in this way, you are pulling the water from the bottom of the boiler. Lots of sludge down there. Per one of Dan's article's, you should use a bronze pump with a large inpeller so it will pass all the junk right through it. A strainer will just plug up causing pressure drop and the pump to cavitate. See this link- http://www.heatinghelp.com/newsletter.cfm?Id=29 Try using a small indirect water heater. Pump the boiler through the coil and set the aquastat to the desired tank temp. I have used this for radiant floor jobs and it work perfectly. Dave StromanDave Stroman

sludgeThe megasteam supplies a tapping for indirect circuits which is just below the nominal water line. I currently have an indirect providing DWH using this supply (the returns are merged after the hartford loop), and this setup has been working great. The people who installed my system left additional isolation valves on the supply and return for the radiant zone so the connections would be easy. I understand that there is a big difference between a flat plate HX and the large coils in the DHW tank, but do you still think this will be a problem if the boiler water is coming from the top instead of the bottom? Thanks!
Dave Stroman April 5, 2008 @ 12:43 PM
Contact this userThe only thing I can say is the passage ways through a flat plate HX are pretty small. Dave StromanDave Stroman
Steve April 5, 2008 @ 9:19 PM
Contact this user
Why take a chance?Use a plate exchanger off the DHW side of the indirect.
Dave Stroman April 4, 2008 @ 8:44 PM
Contact this userI used one for a one room radiant floor job. Used the water heater as the heat source. Worked beautifully! I do not think you will want to pump the condensate from a steam boiler through that flat plate heat exchanger. Will probably plug it up. Dave StromanDave Stroman
N/A April 4, 2008 @ 8:56 PM
Dave,If he used a wye strainer & mixing valve, could he not achieve the temp he needs from the steam boiler water?,,, just curious.

I have a problem with dotTrace...
JetBrains dotTrace Performance 4.5.1 Professional Edition
Build 4.5.922.8 on 2011-08-03T20:55:00
If I run it in samling mode I got 99% in native or optimized code in snapshot (which is not true obviously).. which makes it absolutely useless... I mean while it's possible to have native method call (or callback) in stacktrace it doesn't mean that I'm not interested to know which methods are calling 'native or optimized code'...
I'm running win7x64 .net4
Needless to say that in tracing mode I don't see these native mode but it's so much slower compared to sampling mode (which is also terribly slow) that it's not possible to profile real life scenario...
Any ideas of how to deal with 'native or optimized code' ???

ST. LOUIS (AP) - St. Louis police are trying to determine what happened after a man was found dead on a city street.
Police were called Monday night and told a man was in the street after being struck by a vehicle. But officers determined the man had apparently been stabbed and had perhaps been dumped at the scene by a van seen in the area earlier that night.
Police have identified the victim as 53-year-old Benny Hill of St. Louis.
Witnesses told police they saw Hill pulled from a white van that fled the scene. Police found the van Tuesday morning and say it had been stolen from the victim.

As historian Newt Gingrich sees it, the American people are suffering "a fundamental assault on our liberties by the courts." Unless we fight back against this "grotesquely dictatorial" judiciary, our nation is destined to slide toward "a secular, European sort of bureaucratic socialist society."
More specifically, Gingrich argues that the liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has proved itself to be "anti-American" and thus has forfeited its right to exist. Congress, he says, should simply pass a law to abolish the court altogether, false concerns about "separation of power" be damned.
Gingrich also proposes to haul a series of federal judges before Congress where they can be forced to defend unpopular decisions. As he explained in an appearance on "Face the Nation" Sunday, he would even empower federal marshals to arrest any judges who refused to heed congressional demands for testimony.
According to Gingrich, such steps would have been applauded by our founding fathers, who feared from the beginning that unelected judges would become a tyrannical ruling class. He and his aides lay out that theory, complete with its alleged historical underpinnings, in "Bringing the Courts Back Under the Constitution," a 28-page white paper available at the Gingrich campaign website.
Those who take the time to read the paper will find that it is less the work of Newt's inner historian than of Newt's inner fascist. It represents a profound distortion of our nation's history, the writings of our Founding Fathers and the basic core of the American philosophy of government. It is dishonest history.
Consider, for example, Gingrich's underhanded, deceptive attempt to draft Alexander Hamilton as an supporter of his anti-judicial crusade. Using selected quotes from the Federalist Papers, Hamilton is depicted by Gingrich as a supporter of efforts to use the legislative and executive branches to rein in a tyrannical, overbearing judiciary.
That is a 180-degree reversal of Hamilton's actual position. He saw the courts as vulnerable guarantors of freedom whose independence must be preserved at all costs against the likes of Gingrich.
In Federalist Papers #78, for example, Hamilton writes that the judiciary "is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power; that it can never attack with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks."
In other words, while Gingrich proposes to undermine judicial independence, Hamilton warns us to take "all possible care" to ensure that the judiciary is protected against such attacks.
The debate between Gingrich and Hamilton goes on and on.
Here's Gingrich:
"A judicial branch that is largely unaccountable and not subject to meaningful checks and balances can — and does — routinely issue constitutional rulings that threaten individual liberties, compromise national security, undermine American culture, and ignore the consent of the governed."
Here's Hamilton:
"The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution…. Limitations of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void."
Gingrich denies that "the Constitution empowered the Supreme Court with final decision-making authority about the meaning of the Constitution." Hamilton, in the excerpt cited above, explicitly says otherwise.
Gingrich proposes that judges must be kept in fear of their jobs through such steps as impeachment and the abolition of courts that offend public opinion. Hamilton warns that "from the natural feebleness of the judiciary, it is in continual jeopardy of being overpowered, awed, or influenced by its co-ordinate branches; and that as nothing can contribute so much to its firmness and independence as permanency in office, this quality may therefore be justly regarded as an indispensable ingredient in its constitution, and, in a great measure, as the citadel of the public justice and the public security."
But here's the crux of the issue. It is a commonplace within the conservative movement to point out that "we are not a democracy, we are a republic." In plain terms, the saying makes no sense; a republic is a type of democracy, just as an orange is a type of fruit.
That said, the phrase does attempt to express a larger and fundamental truth. We are not a democracy in its purest form, in which the majority can outvote the minority on every issue without regard to individual freedom. We exist under a limited government, a government of laws not of men, where the power of the majority is constrained. "A republic, not a democracy" is intended as an endorsement of that principle.
As we've seen, however, the majority does not like to feel itself constrained. It gets frustrated when it is told that on matters of fundamental importance, such as religion and free speech, the viewpoint of the majority does not matter because, well, we're a republic not a democracy and certain things are off limits to the majority. And it is usually the courts that have to deliver that unwelcome message to the majority.
As Hamilton wrote:
"Considerate men of every description ought to prize whatever will tend to beget or fortify that temper in the courts: as no man can be sure that he may not be tomorrow the victim of a spirit of injustice, by which he may be a gainer today. And every man must now feel, that the inevitable tendency of such a spirit is to sap the foundations of public and private confidence, and to introduce in its stead universal distrust and distress."
That final sentence — " … the inevitable tendency of such a spirit is to sap the foundations of public and private confidence, and to introduce in its stead universal distrust and distress" — seems directed across the centuries right at Gingrich.

Nice piece of writing Jay.
Keep Up is correct, the Check is built into the system.
Hamilton in the Federalist Papers said one thing, the Constitutional Convention said another. The Convention debated who would say when a law of Congress would be Unconstitutional. Idea floated were a committee of the President, Speaker and President of the Senate among others. In the end they decided to let the first Congress make the decision. And like today's congress the first one could not make a decision.
Then John Marshall stepped into the vacuum and made a decision. And his decision has worked for over 200 years.
People get upset with "activist" judges. But only when activists judges make decisions they do not like. If the activist decision is OK with them, then miraculously it is not an "activist" decision.

"You have to take another politician's ego, double it, and add cheese and a side of fries to get to Gingrich. An especially heaping, unhealthy diet of self-regard slogs through his veins."
" If Obama is The One, Gingrich is The Plus-Size One. "
"If you watched the debate Thursday, you could sense, from the clench of his jaw, that he wasn't merely biting his tongue but making an unhappy meal of it."

And just what would that message be?
That dog t*rd has such an inflated self-image he thinks the first commandment refers to him…
December 19th, 2011
6:20 pm
Ooops…I left out Bruni's best line…
"He thinks a lot about himself and thinks of himself a lot."

Those who have bothered to notice and have the education to see it have seen the Republicans becoming more and more fascist. It goes without saying that most of the simple Republican electorate would not know a facist from a faucet. Let's just hope that enough independent voters see what a disaster Newt and the other fascist's would be to our country.
December 19th, 2011
6:22 pm
I think Gingrich overstepped here and made a bad tactical statement. Instead, he should have advocated for the "type" of judges conservatives want …………… those who interpret the Constitution rather than usurp it.
That said:
It's very easy to know when Congress violates the Constitution and very easy to reign them in.
It's very easy to know when the President violates the Constitution and very easy to reign him/her in.
It's very easy to know when SCOTUS violates the Constitution but very hard to reign them in.
Just sayin' …………………….
December 19th, 2011
6:24 pm
The joke that is the GOP primary is getting less and less funny, and more crazed by the day. Now Gingrich wants to competely side step the Constitution and balance of power because he doesn't like the decision of the justices. Talk about anti-American. He doesn't just want small government, he wants to completely dismantle it. Go back into your hole Newt.
December 19th, 2011
6:25 pm
Well, he does put himself in the company of Jackson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.. soooo…

Where's jay's outrage about Obama signing a bill that actually takes away liberty? Hmmm
Guess he's ignoring Obama signing it.
December 19th, 2011
6:26 pm
Ok, I thought this was a big deal when he said it.
I'm glad others noticed it too. Newt is a sad, sad, tempest in a teapot.

Not to argue too much with that, but the Dems seem to find habeas corpus and impediment…fascist? Yep.

Couldn't have said it better. Newt is the perfect example of what's wrong with our political system. Anybody with common sense know's that he is the complete opposite of what we need, yet he's a top tier candidate for the highest office in the land. What will the history books say about us when it's time to explain what in the hell was going on in this day and age?

Oh. And newt's a moron in so many ways. But we already knew that.
December 19th, 2011
6:31 pm
Its very easy to say, but difficult to be responsible in saying:
It's very easy to know when Congress violates the Constitution and very easy to reign them in.
It's very easy to know when the President violates the Constitution and very easy to reign him/her in.
It's very easy to know when SCOTUS violates the Constitution but very hard to reign them in.
So is the ACA constitutional? Congress said yes, the President said yes, some courts have said yes….and others have said yes. The people have said they want it. I wonder who the activists are?
Remember this claimed "easy" poster also has claimed that the President was not born in this country and later claimed that there was something in the imaginery Box 26 which became box 23……
December 19th, 2011
6:32 pm
Well, when I heard old Newt say that the other night I yelled out "Hot Dang!" He sure knows how to go after Judicial Activism. See, Judicial Activism is when the SC makes a ruling that favors the libruls. Upholding The Constitution is when the SC makes a ruling that favors the Conservatives. Most of us Rednecks and a whole bunch of other people besides want the SC to Uphold The Constitution.
That's the reason why I'd like to see judges hauled onto the carpet when they make a ruling that's Judicial Activism. They ought to be fired on the spot. That way, sooner or later all the judges will be Upholding The Constitution. The reason is because the Constitution is what we say it is.
Anyhow, I'd like to apologize for being so scarce on Bookman's blog today. I was trying to learn all I could about the death of this Won Hung Lo, or whatever the name of the N. Korea leader was. They say they don't know what killed him. Well, I can guess. He probly got a look in the mirror on that train and seen what the barber done to him and just decided to end it all. It looks like somebody just put a bowl over the top of his head and hacked off all the hair that didn't fit inside. Down here we shoot barbers that give us a haircut like that.
Have a good night everybody.

If so, I've got a few ideas of my own.

6:33 pm
I don't agree with Jm much, but he's made a valid point there…more than one of us here about want to know about that…outrage? I, too, wonder where it is…
December 19th, 2011
6:34 pm
Yep …………… and how about these jewels I found ?
"If a constitutional amendment "trumps" a prior Supreme Court decision (as the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments trumped Dred Scott), it is because the text of the Constitution (where sufficiently clear) always prevails over a contrary holding of the Supreme Court."
"Can the Supreme Court strike down a constitutional amendment and just reaffirm its earlier decision?"
"If the Supreme Court must treat the text of the amendment as prevailing over its contrary prior opinion, why does not the same principle apply to every text of the Constitution?"
December 19th, 2011
6:36 pm
"I, too, wonder where it is…"
When you pay Jay's salary, maybe you can dictate what he writes about. In the meantime, blogspot.com is ready for you too.

Have you no idea whatsoever of what the suspension of habeas corpus means?
December 19th, 2011
6:39 pm
1) "Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers … a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."
President Thomas Jefferson
2) "That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them."
James Madison

And just to clarify things, it wasn't JUST Jay I was referring to on where's the outrage…the whole country should be up in metaphoric arms over this…
December 19th, 2011
6:40 pm
What is it with these spineless Republicans?
I can recall no other group of men in our history who have advocated that the legislative branch simply and cravenly cede so many of its Constitutional duties.
Mario Cuomo, for one, excoriated the US Congress for their naivety and willingness in simply giving up their responsibilities. And to arguably the worst administration in modern history, no less.
There are, in fact, entire books that have written on this horrible, modern day perversion of the separation of powers.
And at the time, I thought that one of the more cowardly proposals of the past 50 years, was the now infamous Line Item Veto that these screw ups dreamed .
But no. The jellyfish in Congress were just getting started.
Fast forward to Boy Emperor and his Reign of Error (2000 – 2008). Never mind his jaw dropping use of signing statements to circumvent said separation of powers. Which, along with other egregious abuses of power and the United States Constitution, got him in repeated hot water with the American Bar Association. (Like that mattered to these torturing, spying, habeus corpus hating quasi-fascists.)
To really up the Boy Emperor's control, he desperately wanted to implement a "unilateral presidency". Because a unitary presidency just wasn't good enough.
And damn, if most of these panty-waist GOP representatives don't pretty much agree..

I was wondering when someone would expand upon the context of what Hamilton wrote. Leave it to you. Nicely done, Jay.
As long as Newt keeps doubling down and making voters aware, I think we'll be just fine.
December 19th, 2011
6:42 pm
"Have you no idea whatsoever of what the suspension of habeas corpus means?"
I have an idea that if you want to comment on that and not on what Jay wrote, you need to start your own blog and DO IT. Or find a blogger that better fits what YOU want to talk about.
Jay is pretty flexible, but it's past annoying when ANYONE comes here and immediately wants to talk about what Jay DIDN'T WRITE.

Silly girl, I'm generally a one-man Jay PR Department…you're just in a worse case of Mad Cow Disease than me today…and what I was talking about if you'd get over your snippy self for a minute was NOT to Jay personally nor an attempt to "ell him what to say and what not to. I leave that to you. It was instead a support of his posting this thread and bringing it to discussion the direction we're headed…and the suspension of habeas corpus is the very foundation which would make it possible for the Newties of the country to pull it off…
And yet WE as a society are strangely silent on that one…

Another lame Obama attempt to raise money by selling lottery access to the president
So lame and pathetic. I thought this guy was above this level of pandering. He's like a used car salesman.
"What's more, they've never done one of these dinners together — not even in 2007 or 2008.
And I personally can't think of a First Couple I'd rather have dinner with than this one, because they're not just the President and the First Lady — they're Barack and Michelle.
Three grassroots supporters of this campaign will get that chance, and the opportunity to bring a guest.
How's that for a holiday present for someone you love?"

I said he made a valid point. And now, Missy, have you reached the point that you can no longer see that someone you may disagree with vehemently has made a valid point. That's precisely the type of narrow mindedness that's gotten us into the fix we're in, imo.
December 19th, 2011
6:59 pm
"And now, Missy, have you reached the point that you can no longer see that someone you may disagree with vehemently has made a valid point"
If I read it yes, I can. But the point he made was to try to dictate what Jay should write. If he, and YOU, don't like what Jay writes…why are you even here?

Newt is a bright fellow who spews 100 ideas per day, approx 10 of which are half-baked and a little loopy. This particular solution is within the latter class, although he is correct to magnify the problem of the imperious judiciary.
The Ragnar solution requires a Constitutional Amendment, to fix the term of all Article III appointees at 10 years. An alternative solution would be to simply abolish positions, and a third solution would be to simply urge Congress to pass a law directing all courts to do contrary to whatever the judge held (i.e., openly conspire with Congress to ignore the improper ruling.)
December 19th, 2011
7:03 pm
Doggone went blind long ago. I'm not sure she could ever see to begin with, frankly.
She's just a bundle of reflexive actions.
Jay will write but he wants. That goes without saying. But while he's roasting Newt, I only think it fair to point out that our ACTUAL AND CURRENT AND DEMOCRATIC president actually just did something that undermines liberty.
December 19th, 2011
7:04 pm
I think we can all agree that the crazy 9th circuit court of appeals compels some thoughtful solution, and Newt's solution is both more thoughtful and generous than most of the decisions of that circuit.

Newt never was a top tier contender, only in the MSM's eyes. Ron Paul has won more of the straw polls than any other candidate:
Ron Paul has garnered 19 GOP Presidential Straw Poll wins — more than ANY other GOP candidate — and ALMOST FIVE TIMES AS MANY as establishment favorite, Mitt Romney. Flavor of the Month, Newt Gingrich, has won ONE straw poll. Ron Paul's straw poll victories constitute 48.7% of the 39 GOP Straw Polls thus far.
2011 GOP Straw Poll Wins for Ron Paul:
1st – February 12, 2011, Washington, D.C. – CPAC Straw Poll.
1st – February 27, 2011 Phoenix, AZ – Tea Party Patriots Virtual Summit Straw Poll.

Feds issue warning to unconventional sperm donor
SAN FRANCISCO — A man from the San Francisco Bay area has fathered 14 children in the last five years through free sperm donations to women he meets through his website — and is now in trouble with the federal government.
[T]he Silicon Valley computer security specialist had made 328 sperm donations to 46 women, a number he said is now higher. He can continue to donate sperm while the case is pending.

7:07 pm
Eye-of-Newt is just a big ol' panderer bear. He got his shorts all in a bunch when the 9th Circuit of Appeals ruled that the pledge's use of 'One nation under God' made it unconstitutional.
Even tho the court has since reveresed that ruling (no federal law requires students to recite the pledge or that reference to God), that gas-bag still loves to shove that oh-so-tasty bit of red meat down the throats of his evangelical sheep and other such followers of that I-refuse-to-think-for-myself ilk.
That said, I hope he takes it all the way to the GOP nomination so that we can watch him flame out going up against this President.
December 19th, 2011
7:08 pm
I am not at all dictating what Jay should and should not write…even if his protection to do so under habeas corpus IS MIA…indeed, it's the opposite…the point JM made was that the current President has added his imprimature to that suspension and it's very, very, disturbing…

Gingrich's Poll Numbers Drop
Two new polls from Iowa, one from Public Policy Polling and the other from Insider Advantage show Gingrich dropping back in the GOP race in the Hawkeye State over just the last week.
Insider Advantage polled in Iowa on December 12 and had this:
Gingrich – 27%
Paul – 17%
Perry – 13%
Romney – 12%
Bachmann – 10%
The latest poll from Insider Advantage from December 18 now has Ron Paul in the lead and a giant drop in support for Gingrich:
Paul – 24%
Romney – 18%
Perry – 16%
Gingrich – 13%
Bachmann – 10%
What's interesting about the Insider Advantage poll is that the company is run by someone who has close ties to Gingrich -

Term limits for judges is a good thing. The 9th circuit is liberal cesspool of O'bozo-like socialists. Hauling their destructive behinds into congress periodically to explain themselves to Americans sounds like a good idea.
December 19th, 2011
7:14 pm
Much has changed since the days of Hamilton. These days we have naive socialistic secular September 10th McFly activist judges who are dedicated to destroying this once-free nation. Speaker Gingrich is right when he correctly states that it's a slippery slope when we move away from strict constructionists from those on the bench who adhere to the law instead of engaging in re-interpretation based on Euro Marxist socialistic-secular ideals. WE THE PEOPLE need to see that the we restore power to the presidency, instead of activist liberal judges who will jail those who invoke the Lord Almighty in a public setting. We are slouching ever more towards a 1984-type society whereby secular-progressives police the free speech of patriotic Christians. Listen to the words of Speaker Gingrich on this "Face The Nation" appearance where he is simply stating a volley of facts. OH MY GOD, WOULD THIS REAL MAN DESTROY OBAMA IN A DEBATE! LISTEN TO HIM TAKING DOWN THIS SCHIEFFER FELLOW.

Sounds like it fails the equal protection clause. Easiest fix is to get the government out of marriages and get the church out of civil unions. A marriage is nothing more than a religious ceremony that carries no weight outside of that religion. The certificate or contract is what gives it legal binding. Let the church marry whomever they want to, and leave the government to deal with the civil union aspect, which has nothing to do with religion whatsoever.

"A marriage is nothing more than a religious ceremony that carries no weight outside of that religion. The certificate or contract is what gives it legal binding."
Nope. A marriage is a legally binding contract. The first written reference to marriage is on a tablet of LAWS. Laws refer to marriage. We need to get religion out of marriage of ANY legally binding kind.

Memento Mori is a deeply evocative and physically dynamic, mesmerising piece made in collaboration with Tanya Khabarova from Derevo and it is based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
An abstract exploration of the myth of Orpheus' descent into Hades (the underworld) in search of his wife Eurydice. An intense and powerful journey through the mind of Orpheus; from the first human, to love, death, the dark insanity of the underworld and the self-discovery of a man."Amazing... Memento Mori is a one hour, non-stop drama in which two dancers constantly surprise... the company has an originality I have rarely seen before " - Phil Key, Daily Post
"Physical Theatre of the highest class- one dipped quickly into the world of Orpheus and could only be astonished by the outstanding body control and beauty of the two performers" - Wupperguide/Germany
"A powerful, moving and jaw dropping performance" - Bristol Dance Paper
Memento Mori has toured in the UK, Greece, Italy, France and Germany.

Synopsis: One of cult director Hisayasu Sato's more warped entries in the Japanese pinku-eiga genre, this one plays out like an even less responsible satiric take on themes better explored in Natural Born Killers. A pirate DJ and a young girl drive around the city broadcasting music and play-by-plays of sexual assaults which they witness on their nightly escapades. Before long, the youths find their star in a sadistic young rapist whom they join and elevate to a bizarre kind of celebrity. The Shintoho release ... Full Synopsis

Grand Theft Auto 4 has barely been out for a week, and you're already really tired of reading about it. I know you are, I am too. If you don't have it yet, you're sick of reading about this apparently fantastic game that you can't play. If you have it, you've probably been reading about it for 3 months already, and now you just want to play it, and maybe blog about it yourself.
So, to hell with what GTA4 is. You already know. It's everything, it's 10 different games crammed onto one disk, it's everything that made San Andreas good without most of the things that made it suck. Here's what I want it to be, in my boundless ingratitude.
I want it to be a police game without having to steal a police car. I want it to be a game about saving people without having to steal an ambulance. I want it to be a game about fighting fires without having to steal a fire truck. I want to make money hunting down crooks and saving lives. I want to rat on all these terrible people the game makes me work for, and I want to become an undercover agent for the FBI – I'm sorry, FIB – so I can meet up with my contact at regular intervals and make up for all the crap they make me do.
But all that's just details. I can steal my way to being good if it's necessary and still enjoy the game. What I really really really want, what I think I just might enjoy so much that it'd be worth learning to program so I could create it myself once the game comes out for PC, is a Game Master client. A seperate client that you can use to control a multiplayer game. Imagine that.
A whole city, complete with pedestrians, traffic, shops, apartments, minigames, radio, TV, cell phones, an almost fully functional Internet, and then the tools necessary to control it all. 2 GM's, 4-5 players, and the means to spawn and possess characters, award money or equipment, control the behaviour of the police, jump players around, etc. I would put together a really epic The Departed-style campaign with the players taking the roles of undercover FBI/FIB agents charged with infiltrating a network of gangs and criminal organizations. Each player would have a car, an apartment, and even a family if they'd want it.
Imagine the sucker punches you could pull off in a setting like that. The more a player has, the more you can take away from him. You could have the bad guys trash a player's apartment, you could have them abduct or even kill a player's family. Liberty City is a dangerous place, and as an undercover agent it'd be a fine balance between maintaining your cover and maintaining your morals. It'd be The Shield in game form, with a hard-working GM pulling the strings.
All that's pretty much a pipe dream of course. I would be a huge asshole to demand that of Rockstar, it's just not what the game is about. But I could throw it out there to the modding community – Jedi Knight 2 had a similar client thanks to its modders – or I could get off my ass and implement it myself, maybe find a good coder or two to help me out. Of course Rockstar would have to release that PC port first. Until then, I'll just enjoy GTA4 like everybody else. Well, maybe slightly less – some of those missions are still too damn hard.
