As warm afternoons give way to cool, crisp evenings, cities awaken from their summer nap, abuzz with new openings, performances and cultural events. Vibrantly hued country roads become stamping grounds for food festivals, wine tours and leaf peepers.
Rather than retreat to the sofa when it's time to put away the hammock, check out these fall getaway itineraries. They are all within a few hours' drive from Baltimore.
Festive fall cities
This city, filled with historic sites, also offers world-renowned arts venues and cultural communities. The question isn't what to do here, it's how to get it all done. Here's a sampling:
Leger: Modern Art and the Metropolis (Oct. 14-Jan 5). This highly anticipated show, in the only U.S. stop on its world tour, features Fernand Leger and his post-Cubist masterpiece "The City, 1919," accompanied by pieces by Leger's avant-garde colleagues Piet Mondrian, Alexandra Exter and Francis Picabia. Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, 215-763-8100, philamuseum.org
Life and Death in Pompeii (Nov. 9-April 27), premiering at the Franklin Institute, invites visitors to experience what happened to the unprepared residents of Pompeii 1,900 years ago.The Franklin Institute, 222 N. 20th St., 215-448-1200, fi.edu
Design Philadelphia Festival (through Oct.18) offers views into Philadelphia's creative industries, with over 100 events, including open studios, exhibitions, lectures, runway shows, and workshops. designphiladelphia.org
Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct. 17-27). The 22nd annual event also includes the debut of the Philadelphia Film Society's new digital and 35-mm projection theater. 2023 Samson St., filmadelphia.org
Dance Africa Philadelphia! (Nov. 7-9) presents three days of African dance, music, lectures, exhibitions, and the Afro Beauty: Health and Wellness Marketplace. Various venues in West Philadelphia, cecarts.org.
First Person Arts Festival (Nov. 6-16). The only festival of its kind in the world, the event celebrates the power of storytelling. Scheduled artists include Toni Morrison and Philadelphia's first poet laureate, Sonia Sanchez. firstpersonarts.org
New York
As the temperatures drop, this metropolis heats up, offering hundreds of diversions each week. Many of the once-ignored outer boroughs — Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens — have become epicenters for progressive-minded entrepreneurs and artists. And New York's subway can zip you there (and everywhere) in a matter of minutes for just $2. Here's a sampling of what's happening this fall in the Big Apple:
Open House New York (Oct. 15-16). The city drops its members-only stance during this event, inviting visitors into some of most exclusive off-limit sites and landmarks, including the intriguing New York Marble Cemetery. ohny.org
The NYC Food Film Festival (Oct. 23-27). This five-day event provides opportunities for foodies to watch screenings of food-related films and then sample those foods. thefoodfilmfestival.com
Lincoln Center's White Light Festival (Oct. 24 to Nov. 23). This festival features more than 20 performances and films by artists from more than a dozen countries. whitelightfestival.org
The ING New York City Marathon (Nov. 3) covers 26.2 miles through five boroughs. Onlookers should claim their perches early between 60th and 96th streets. nycmarathon.org
Broadway: Samuel L. Jackson stars as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in "The Mountaintop," opening Oct. 13 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater. With so many shows available, it's worth looking into discounted "rush" tickets. For that, you'll need to walk up to the box office about an hour before the performance or check out the deals on nytix.com. telecharge.com
New York Comedy Festival (Nov. 6-10). Stephen Colbert and Larry David are two of the headliners featured in the dozens of performances at this annual event. nycomedyfestival.com
'The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk' (Oct. 25-Feb. 23), the first international exhibit of the famed designer's work, is at the Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway), its only East Coast venue.brooklynmuseum.org

Dear Sydney,
Why must I say goodbye to the Australia Vacation? Do I REALLY have to work full time in the gorgeous place with wonderful weather and no shortage of sunshine? MUST I sit at a computer from 9-5? Yes, I know. I'm going to hell for complaining about working in Australia. But for real, it's been the next hardest transition of the trip so far. After not working or even going to school for over a month, I'm not just returning to a couple hour long classes, I finally had to enter the world of adulthood and start working full-time (minus Fridays of course ). Therefore; my attention span is untrained again and lasts little over 20 minutes at a time, business attire feels suffocating and tedious, actually putting make up on and straightening my hair daily has become a chore worthy to be compared with laundry, and the indoors for 8 hours straight gives me cabin fever.
However, I digress and I admit I really do have an amazing opportunity on my hands. In case you didn't notice from my earlier posts, yesterday was my unofficial first day and interview with the International Company, Brown Forman. Since a majority of you may not know what that is, Brown Forman is the parent company for a number of name brand liqueurs. These liqueurs include but are not limited to; Jack Daniels (it's full line including the Winter Jack , 1907, & Gentlemen Jack), Southern Comfort, Canadian Mist, Finlandia Vodkas, Chambord, Jagermeister, and Herradura Tequila. Stop there right? It's obviously already the coolest place ever to work, especially in Australia where they drink 2x the amount of Jack Daniels than Americans do.

This is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus), a burrowing predator which subdues its prey by delivering the fastest recorded punch of any living creature. (!) (Other mantis shrimp- members of order Stomatopoda -also share these traits, although the peacock mantis shrimp looks more fabulous while doing it.)
Here's a youtube video of one of these things beating the hell out of a crab, with commentary by a very educated-sounding
British Australian lady.

Birthday Suite: Minissha Lamba
Minissha Lamba
Minissha on romance and sensuality: 'I think sensuality goes very well with romanticism. Therefore it's the more beautiful part of being sexual. It's the more emotional part of the idea of sexual. When women feel stressed, tired or run-down, they often lose the desire of being sensual. Take time to give your body a treat; indulge yourself and awaken your five senses of smell, sound, sight, touch and taste.'

Ever since its launch, the iPad has captured the hearts of users with its sleek design, advanced features and ease of use. With over 275,000 apps on app store that are designed specifically for iPad.
iPad app developers face the daunting challenge of designing an app that stands out in the crowded marketplace. This involves making the best use of the larger screen and advanced features rather than merely replicating a smart phone app.
TechAhead has a team of dedicated iPad developers who are technically qualified to work on iOS and are familiar with the latest SDK. They also have years of experience in working across various genres of apps for the iPad.
Hiring Offshore iPad developers from us comes with several advantages:
Superior development expertise & programming skills – Our team of iPad programmers are familiar with the various versions of the iOS SDK and have completed several app development projects, including working on business and consumer apps. With their experience in customizing apps for the iPad interface, the 'go to market' time for your app reduces significantly as our iPad app programmers have the skills to bring your idea to life in the shortest possible time.
Open approach to development – At TechAhead, our development process is transparent. As a result, the client is kept in the loop at every stage and continuous feedback is sought for ensuring that the end product meet with expectations without any time wasted on reworking right from the beginning. With years of experience and rhetoric, iPad development team, there's no risk of misinterpretation of an idea.
Scalable development team – Unlike with in-house development, where the costs of permanent hire of a skilled professional eats into budgets, when you hire iPad developers from us you can scale the team size up or down without having to worry about recruitment formalities or long-term costs.
Competitive development costs – Owing to the expertise of our iPad programmers, the development cycle is shorter. Add to this lower manpower costs and on-time delivery and your app development costs are significantly reduced.
Flexible contracts – When you hire offshore iPad app developers from us, you continue to retain complete control of the project, which means that you have the liberty of cutting short the project after the minimum term or extending it based on requirements.

There are some things that you just don't do in life. One of those things would be making blatantly racist ads. Right before the Olympics. That specifically target the host nation. A host nation which has a habit of making people "disappear."
But hey, I guess if you're Spain, which has been rolling in the sports world of late (until Sergio choked at the PGA), why not go all in, right?
Here's a picture of the Spanish national team that's part of an advertising campaign for the team's courier company sponsor. The ad's been running on a full page in the country's best selling sports daily Marcia. In case you can't tell, everyone's making slit-eyed gestures, including Pau Gasol there on the right side in the #4 jersey.
When pressed to apologize by the Chinese, I'm told the paper responded by saying "Me so sorry! Me love you long time!"
I'm just wondering how an ad like this gets approved, because obviously it had to go through multiple people before it was accepted.
Oh come on Fernando, that's horribly racist! Let's just go with the slanty eyes.
Anyway, glad to see all the peace and harmony that's coming out of these Olympics. By the way, Spain and China play tomorrow. Should be fun.

The Gallery : Andrew Zarou
Introducing Andrew Zarou, an artist who works with collage, combining all manner of "found" paper -- such as lottery tickets, magazine cutouts and cigarette foil – with a meticulous layering process of paint and drawing.
There is something of the aerial view…of maps, of labyrinths… and an infectious delight in patterning and layering. I like the variety in his quality of line and the colors and shapes he chooses to juxtapose in the areas of flat color.
Take a look at the interactions between the drawn, the painted and the collaged layers… each material answering, emphasizing or jostling the other.
Zarou's work has been shown at PS1 and in the Pierogi Flat Files traveling exhibition.
See the work in person at the Hogar Collection Gallery's current show, Ebb and Flow, up through Monday, March 13 at 111 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211 (L to Bedford, walk up to Grand and hook a right toward the river). Gallery hours: Thursday - Monday 12:00 - 7:00pm and by appointment.
Prices range from $800-$1300 -- Inquiries about the artwork, please write or call the Hogar Collection Gallery directly at email@example.com (p:718.288.5022).

Three questions with new Georgia State football coach Trent Miles:
Q: You have stressed the goal for the players to win on the field and off. Who taught you how to do that?
A: Well, my dad. But I was with Tyrone Willingham for eight years. The man is an unbelievable person as far as just…we are in this to help young men. We are in this to make a difference in lives. He taught me that, as well as Marvin Lewis. I was with Marvin Lewis at the University of New Mexico. He's one of my dear friends. He keeps me going in this profession. He sent his son to play for me.
I'm a sponge. I learn from everybody. Pat Hill is an excellent football coach. I take from what Pat did at Fresno State. It's a little bit intrinsic. You learn from everybody you've been around. You take a little bit here and now and go.
Q: How much did you know about Georgia State football before this process started?
A: I knew that coach Curry started it. I'm a football freak so I know a little bit about

The UFC delivered an exciting finale, to one of the most exciting seasons of The Ultimate Fighter in recent memory last weekend. They're not giving that event much time to simmer in our memories, as they move forward with another free event, this time on network television as the 7th UFC on Fox event goes off this weekend. The UFC returns to California, more specifically to San Jose, California, the home base of their former sister promotion Strikeforce.
It's fitting that the UFC is hosting this event in San Jose and at the HP Pavilion the home of a number of Strikeforce shows in the past, since this card features a number of fighters that were prominent in Strikeforce's success. In main card action former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Josh "The Punk" Thomson battles former Lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz.

"It's entirely possible the Lieberman Campaign was indeed paid up on whatever hosting package they purchased, but they had not purchased sufficient bandwidth to meet the demans. It's important to understand the difference between not paying your bill, or just not planning properly. I suspect for the Lieberman Campaign, who appear to be leaning toward being luddites, simply didn't know or plan for the bandwidth demand their site might see.posted by ericb at 11:37 AM on August 8, 2006
Certainly Lamont cannot be blamed for Lieberman or his campaign aides being ignorant."
...I own a web hosting company (***********.com) that uses the same software as the Lieberman site. That screenshot that the Lamont folks grabbed is a standard automated warning from a website control panel known as "Cpanel". Most large webhosts host many thousands of domains and their systems are automated. If a bill goes unpaid, or bandwidth is exceeded by a specified amount, the site gets auto-suspended and that Cpanel page replaces the index page. It's possible that the site was suspended for exceeding their bandwidth allotment as opposed to not paying their bills, but for someone like Joe Lieberman to not have his ducks in a row on the night before an election like this is quite telling.Other knowledgeable emailers suggest the same possibility -- not that Joe folks necessarily forgot to pay their bill but that they tripped some bandwidth or server load limit and hadn't made arrangements in advance to keep the site online if this happened." -- Josh Marshall
OK, so http://joe2006.com/ is hosted by http://www.myhostcamp.com which is currently redirecting to http://suspended.page/ which is obviously not a proper address. Looks like their ISP is INCOMPETENT, speaking as a UNIX admin, there is no excuse for redirecting to an invalid domain other than stupidity. I was thinking that the redirects could be done as a last ditch attempt on a load balancer if the server farm was overwhelmed, but guess what. There is no load balancer, a tcp fingerprinting shows its a Linux host, and not only that, it's not even running a firewall.. MySQL is running on an open port (pretty sizable security hole), and oddly enough, it's running an IRC daemon - which is a notoriously stupid thing to run if you value your bandwidth (its a service just begging to be used for DoS). Looks to me like it's either 1) amazing incompetent admins or, more likely 2) a honeypot server just asking to be crashed so someone can point fingers. No admins I know are stupid enough to setup a server like this.posted by ewagoner at 12:03 PM on August 8, 2006
...so it looks like a managed server which planet.com leases to myhostcamp.com, who runs multiple domains on that one machine (unless its a round robin DNS load balancing scheme, but I haven't detected that after resolving from four different locations, so it looks like a single machine).
Oddly enough, myhostcamp.com has a very small (re: almost no) online presence, tho it does show up here: http://www5.geometry.net/... "Geometry.Net - Religion: Evangelical Free Church Of America" some sort of click harvesting link page.

...it's clear that Lieberman's website isn't suffering from a Denial of Service attack.[source]
But now I have the definitive answer as to why Lieberman's site went down.
They are paying $15/month for hosting at a place called MyHostCamp, with a bandwidth limit of 10GB. MyHostCamp is currently down, along with all their clients.
Here's the deal -- you get what you pay for. My hosting bill is now over $7K per month. A smaller site doesn't need that much bandwidth, but if you're paying $15 because your $12 million campaign is too freakin' cheap to pay for quality hosting, then don't go blaming your opponent when your shitty service goes out.
For their part, the Lamont campaign has offered its technical expertise to get Lieberman's site back up (which could be done in an hour by a competent sysadmin), and has added a link to the googlecached version of Lieberman's site at the top of their blog.
One side is acting mature, the other is running around making baseless accusations.
Update: Dan Gerstein, Lieberman spokesperson, admits they have no evidence Lamont's campaign or his supporters are behind their website woes.
I'm telling you, it's down because they were too cheap to pay for quality hosting. That's a lesson to all of you campaigns skimping on hosting. $15 won't cut it."
1. Unless and until Lieberman's hosting provider releases his logfiles (gateway router, www server, mail server, DNS server) for forensic review, all of this is speculation.[source]
2. Using the following information:a. the site has been down for 18 hours3. It's highly unlikely this is a true DoS of DDoS attack. This is because we can ping all the IPs noted above and we can see the page at http://server1.myhostcamp.com/suspended page. If this was a real DoS or DDoS attack, we'd not be able to see any of this and their servers would not be answering their ping at an average of 50ms (millisecond) per packet. True attacks bring down servers, routers and networks. From all available outside evidence this does not appear to be the case.
b. email to (and from?) Joe2006.com addresses has been affected
c. Joe2006.com and mail.joe2006.com resolve to IP 220.127.116.11
d. the reverse lookup on that IP is 82.81.3845.static.theplanet.com
e. joe2006.com now forwards to http://server1.myhostcamp.com/
4. Here what might have happened:a. Web traffic spikes as national focus on the campaign grows5. Regardless of the explanation (3 or 4), here is what you do when that happens:
b. Based on (2b) above, if the webserver is throttled by traffic (due to actual traffic or poor response tuning or an attack or a combination of the three), this would also affect mail delivery to joe2006.com. It could also affect outbound mail if users on that domain use that address for SMTP service.
c. The server is most likely a shared one, since the name, server1.myhostcamp.com, implies lots of other hosts live on it.a. You grab your local backup (you do have a local backup of your files (both scripts and database snapshots, right?).Steps a-e can be accomplished, especially with the kind of site Joe had up and running before this incident (nothing particularly complex), in less than an hour or so by a competent sysadmin."
b. You find a host that specialized in high bandwidth hosting and you get an account going ASAP. There are plenty of ISPs that would take your money to expedite this.
c. You move your files up, test that everything is working
d. You redirect your DNS so that Joe2006.com points to you new server; this change doesn't take very long to propagate because you make sure that the DNS update uses a very low TTL (time to live).
e. If needed, you separate your mailserver mail.joe2006.com from your webserver joe2006.com/www.joe2006.com so as to keep your mail up and going.
"For the past twenty-four hours my toaster oven has been acting funny. I turn the little darkness thingy all the way up and the toast still comes out only half toasted. I believe this is a retaliation by my political opponents for my blogging about their dirty tricks.[signed] BranfordBoy
Since becoming a left-wing wacko I have lived my commitment to being lax on security by occasionally leaving my front door unlocked. It would be child's play for my political opponents to sneak in, diddle with my toaster oven, and slink back out into the night their nefarious diddling accomplished. Of course, it's totally unreasonable to expect me to be able to fix it myself.
I call on Senator Lieberman to make an unequivocal statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately. Any attempt to suppress voter participation (how can you vote when you're worried sick about your toaster oven?) and undermine the voting process on Election Day by depriving me of decent toast on which to slather my peanut butter is deplorable and has no place in our democracy."

The campaign of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman admitted that their website was not "hacked" on the day of the Democratic primary race for the United States Senate between Mr. Lieberman and Ned Lamont, a Greenwich multimillionaire whose antiwar candidacy proved unexpectedly strong, but that it "crashed" due to the "gross incompetence" of the system administrator responsible for maintaining their technical operations. "It's true," said Mr. Lieberman's campaign manager, Sean Smith, "We should have never listened to Senator Stevens' recommendation that we hire a television repairman to maintain our tubes on the Internet." Smith, referring to Senator Ted Stevens (R.-Alaska) recent claim that the Internet is a series of tubes, and "not a truck," added, "It is unconscionable that our opponent did not inform us earlier that we were operating a sub-par website and e-mail operation. Furthermore, how dare they wait until the day of the election to offer us their technical support at the time of our greatest need?"I doubt it.
http://www.meetned.com/ 126.96.36.199DoS attacks don't affect particular accounts on a server. They bring down the whole server. The attack site is up, their campaign site is down. This isn't a DoS attack.

MeetNed.com - Up.
Joe2006.com - Down.
Lieberman's internet consultant Dan Geary, who oversees Joe2006.com, says he's still sure that their site suffered a "malicious attack." But when pressed, he said that they weren't sure that it was a "Denial of Service" attack, as he'd said earlier. He didn't have any more information about the nature of the supposed attack. "I've spent 99% of my time speaking [to reporters] about the story," he said.(emphasis mine)
"Why the hell is Joe Lieberman's campaign site hosted by these people (site down — probably not because of dirty deeds, by the way) under the cheapest plan available? And why do Lieberman's FEC filings say he's paying $1500 to a different company for web hosting? No, we seriously want to know. These aren't rhetorical questions.posted by ericb at 3:14 PM on August 8, 2006
We have to assume that Lieberman paid the guys named above (click to enlarge slightly) to find hosting, and "2 Dog Media" went with the cheapest option available..."
"Joe2006.com was setup by Dan Geary who has an e-mail address at Hotmail and no discernable website. Likely, someone in the Lieberman camp knew Geary to be 'technical' and someone who could help out. I've never heard of myhostcamp and I've been working with websites and website providers a long time, making it possible that Geary personally knows, or is even involved with, the myhostcamp.com hosting company.posted by ericb at 4:00 PM on August 8, 2006
While it's possible that someone actually hacked joe2006.com, from what I've seen, this seems to be the least likely option.

Anyway, this looks like a DoS attack to me.1Presuming you're not equating high volume, legitimate traffic, like the Slashdot Effect, with a denial of service attack, would you mind taking a few minutes share what evidence you've seen that lead you to conclude this?
Being from CT, Lamont winning is probably not a good thing.2In a few hours we'll find out if most of Connecticut's Democrat's agree with you as long as Lieberman doesn't contest the election. However, Lieberman, as you know from his vice presidential run in 2000, does have a history of contesting elections.

We're going to be breaking some news shortly on the Lieberman mystery site outage. Stay tunedSomething's stirring at talkingpointsmemo.
"We just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead."That respect I had for Senator Lieberman a few posts back? Gone.
Now he's saying he's going to "unite, not divide." By running a rogue candidacy.That sounds so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on why.
the last one I saw showed Lieberman winning by a HUGE margin, bigger than any lead he ever had in the Dem primary.You're referring to this poll which was three weeks ago. Since then, Lieberman lost the primary and then told Democrats in Connecticut that he was going to unite them by running, moments after the same Democrats told him they didn't want him to represent them. If Lieberman wins, he's winning on the strength of the Bush conservatives. And that's a base I'm not certain I'd want to count on in this next election cycle.
Maybe, just maybe, we'll get lucky and see more politicians from both parties abandon their party and actually care more about their constituents than their political affiliation.What leads you to believe that Senator Lieberman actually cares about his constituents more now that he's been rejected by the constituents of the party that helped him to power in the last three elections? That's right: nothing. Any politician that abandons their party via a primary loss, but stays in the game could care less about the people they represent. The only thing Senator Lieberman cares about is staying in power. If Gerstein, Smith, and Lieberman think they can win by courting Republicans after 18 years of being a Democrat, and maintain the party loyalty of enough Democrats and independents to win then I hope their ready to spend a fortune on a losing cause. Read this very carefully.
this is his last chance to save both from the cesspool of unbridled partisanship.Enabling whomever is in power is not bipartisanship, unless we're not talking about democracy here. I hate partisanship as much as, if not more than, most people, but I'm honest enough with myself to see that there hasn't been a sincere bipartisan politician in a long time. I've long held that term limits of two terms or less, preferably less, would lead to better representation and less cesspool.
its that Lieberman will be forced to tack right for the rest of campaign in order to win, and will undermine other Dems nationwide in the process.Lieberman can't tack much further right on a number of important issues. Furthermore, Lieberman can't harm the party that just rejected him. We'll leave that job up to the DCCC and other Dems that supported him during the primary.
"Dear Senator Reid:posted by ericb at 10:03 PM on August 8, 2006
With Senator Joseph Lieberman's loss to Ned Lamont in yesterday's Connecticut primary for the United States Senate -- in which he was running as a representive of the Democratic Party of which I am a proud and registered member -- and his subsequent public statement that he would be abandoning the party to run as an independent candidate this coming November, I call upon you to strip him of all committee appointments effective immediately. He has taken a definitve stance in seeking to run counter to the majority vote of Democrats in Connecticut. Such a position demonstrates a lack of commitment to the party in general. No longer does the Senator deserve the committee positions he holds."
"[FBI Field Agent David] Straretz noted that if Lieberman 'hacking' charges prove false, the FBI and federal prosecutors could pursue charges against those who reported them. 'If it was fabricated and you could prove intent, there's Title 18, Section 1001, which is providing false statements to an FBI agent. That can be prosecuted at the discretion of the U.S. Attorney's Office.'"posted by ericb at 11:40 AM on August 9, 2006

....Sixty-one percent...said they believed at least some U.S. troops should be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of the year.
....Asked about a timetable for withdrawal of troops from Iraq, 57 percent of poll respondents said they supported the setting of such a timetable..."
"The defeat of Senator Joseph Lieberman at the hands of a little-known Connecticut businessman is bound to send a message to politicians of both parties that voters are angry and frustrated over the war in Iraq. The primary upset was not, however, a rebellion against the bipartisanship and centrism that Mr. Lieberman said he represented in the Senate. Instead, Connecticut Democrats were reacting to the way those concepts have been perverted by the Bush White House.posted by ericb at 5:44 PM on August 9, 2006
Ned Lamont, a relative political novice, said he ran against Mr. Lieberman because he was offended by the senator's sunny descriptions of what was happening in Iraq and his denunciation of Democrats who criticized the administration's handling of the war. Many other people in Connecticut may have felt that sense of frustration, but no one else had the money and moxie to do what Mr. Lamont did. Mr. Lieberman was stunned to find himself on the defensive, and it was only in the last few weeks that the 18-year veteran mounted a desperate campaign to reclaim his party's support.
....The rebellion against Mr. Lieberman was actually an uprising by that rare phenomenon, irate moderates. They are the voters who have been unnerved over the last few years as the country has seemed to be galloping in a deeply unmoderate direction. A war that began at the president's choosing has degenerated into a desperate, bloody mess that has turned much of the world against the United States. The administration's contempt for international agreements, Congressional prerogatives and the authority of the courts has undermined the rule of law abroad and at home.
Yet while all this has been happening, the political discussion in Washington has become a captive of the Bush agenda. Traditional beliefs like every person's right to a day in court, or the conviction that America should not start wars it does not know how to win, wind up being portrayed as extreme. The middle becomes a place where senators struggle to get the president to volunteer to obey the law when the mood strikes him. Attempting to regain the real center becomes a radical alternative.
When Mr. Lieberman told The Washington Post, "I haven't changed. Events around me have changed," he actually put his finger on his political problem. His constituents felt that when the White House led the country into a disastrous international crisis and started subverting the nation's basic traditions, Joe Lieberman should have changed enough to take a lead in fighting back."
[New York Times | August 9, 2006]
"...in two House primaries on Tuesday, Republican and Democratic incumbents also lost. Usually these upsets suggest the national mood is rising against incumbents, as well as against Congress itself.posted by ericb at 5:49 PM on August 9, 2006
And well it should.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds Americans who approve of their own representative's performance is at the lowest level since 1994 - the last time control of the House switched parties. Usually, voters simply have a low opinion of Congress but then vote their senator or congressman back in. Incumbents have well rigged the electoral system to give them many advantages, from fundraising to gerrymandered districts. But now the percentage of voters disenchanted with their representatives has risen seven points, to 45 percent.
Some of that increase could be related to a rising disgust with the way the Iraq war has been handled by both Congress and the Bush administration. But it may also arise from Congress allowing its powers as the first and most representative branch of government to be eroded by a wartime presidency and by a string of Supreme Court decisions.
And voters are increasingly turned off by the extreme polarization of the win-at-any-cost politics that's developed over decades and ends up with both parties using national issues to score points rather than solve problems with a bipartisan spirit.
The image of a gridlocked, dysfunctional Congress is very clear in the way lawmakers have failed to pass reforms that would solve the crises in immigration and energy, and that would translate into reality for voters. Impasses within the marbled halls of Capitol Hill that then lead to blame games - e.g., 'do-nothing Republicans' or 'obstructing Democrats' - may play well to the most partisan of voters, but not to the vast moderate voters who increasingly declare themselves as independent. And let's not even dwell on recent cases of blatant graft, a rise in pork-barrel profligacy using undebated earmarks, a decreasing number of days in session, and strange timing in House roll-call votes.
Those in a supine Congress who would reform the institution itself - even if Democrats win a majority of seats in November - are still too few, but perhaps growing. The first override of a Bush veto came only last month, six years into his term. Senate oversight of Bush's wartime legal powers seems to be increasing.
Too much can easily be read into Lieberman's primary defeat. But perhaps it really is the signal of a political shift toward institutional reform that would outlast the current national debates over the Iraq war or the Bush presidency."

text: How exciting! Meetings and Conventions PEI has invited our crew to film their 2011 destination planner-FAM. It'll be the first time we haven't had the experience all to ourselves. My initial concern was ensuring the other 16 planners didn't have a compromised experience with our camera gear, lighting, microphones and professional technicians running around. But as it turned out, MCPEI incorporated our team right into the experience, ensuring we were treated just the same - same VIP hotels, unbelievable F&B, generous gifts and professional courtesy. This, in turn, aided the other delegates in seeing our team as 'one of us', and we all got along famously. We were discreet, accommodating, and had fun along the way. And I personally enjoyed meeting fellow Canadian planners. It was a win-win situation! Considering destinations really go above and beyond during a FAM, it was a great opportunity to show the world how it should be done - setting the standard for an outstanding FAM experience. If dealing with MCPEI during the pre-production process is any reflection on how kind, proactive and professional they will be with planners intending to bring their meetings/conventions/incentive groups to the island, it will surely be a success.

Click here for my resume
I'm Amber, but my friends call me Tiff, short for Tiffany, my first name.
I am in my mid-30's, married to the love of my life since July 2007, have a daughter and a son, and live in
Colorado. Here, I am content to do what I love—write, speak, and offer virtual assistance.
to the gentle nudging of a fellow author -- Tracie
Peterson -- in 2002, I
joined the American
Christian Fiction Writers and wouldn't be published today without them. For those of you who are also fiction writers looking for a wonderful
support group, check
them out! My
very first book, Promises, Promises, sold in December 2006 and released in February
2008. I've been going steady ever since. Check out my books page for further details.
Another facet of my life involves web design. I got involved
with it in 1997, when I was asked to take over running the official
web site for the television series Dr.
Quinn, Medicine Woman. That eventually led to being offered the job of running world-renowned actress
Jane Seymour's
official fan site. That has since branched into doing web sites for a variety
of clients, including: authors J.M.
Hochstetler, Trish Perry, Kathy
Susan Page Davis,
Martha Rogers, and Jill
Elizabeth Nelson, actor William
Shockley (the voice of AT&T and Toyota) and many others through Eagle Designs. Feel free to visit and see our other clients.
I've included a picture of our "puppy", born July 4, 2007.
Her name is Roxie. She's half Australian shepherd, half Flat-Haired Retriever. We've since acquired another Australian shepherd (Aussie) named Bronco. Will get a picture of the 2 of them as soon as I can get them to pose together.
I love to
hear from those who visit this site. You can find my mailing address or leave your email message through
the Contact page. Thanks for stopping by!

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say that 'I am a Christ-follower', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living.
I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say 'I am a Christ-follower' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

The more thumbs down, the higher it goes. $108 is my target.
That key support was a great entry at about $73. B/o to $87 & ready to go higher. We need to protect our systems from Ruissia to take our infrastructure & financial systems down. The damage will be worse than we can imagine.
Never know Chinese stocks. Only 7% of Chinese own cars not in our country over 80%. still a lot room for expansion. Just move up slower is better. StocksTwit posted about merger ATHM & BITA.
Thank you so much for taking time to write such a long message. I see the potential H&S like you posted. It's way way overbought & way far from all MAs. Unless it 's a cancer cure or something, price can continue to move in a big way. $43 for less than 2 months ago & $53 just first week of this month. I have been swing trading this since $33. Chasing here is dangerous & we need to be disciplined. I know quite a bit about Chinese stocks & fundamentals do not support the price.
You know options very well. Your post helped me to see more facts. Baron or Market watch wrote an article a couple of days ago saying Chinese stocks are being manipulated so we need to understand that. So they push prices up in this case. Scary!
I see ATHM followed BITA too but weaker.
Thank you again & good luck.
By the way YY ready to b/o. They have been trying so hard to keep price under $91. maybe they will manipulate this one next to the upside. I can only use the chart. FA is very good, so cheap, PEG only .35
Leader in what? It is so so expensive, P/S is 33.2. One of the most expensive P/S in the market. They just have a website for people to market and buy cars. !!! All about manipulation. VIPS BIDU are leaders in their space. YY is so cheap and great great growth. PEG is only .35
I happy for you that you have a good friend Cle.
BITA just a website, not like TSLA, BABA can compete easily.
BITA does not have the fundamental to support the crazy move. This is unusual to me. When there is no fundamental to support the high flying stocks then they can drop quickly too.
You see a H&S pattern but also options with higher prices. Interesting.
How about ATHM? What's your opinion.
Yes. YY is so undervalued. PEG only .35, the cheapest tech growth stock out there. Even a bad tech had PEG 1.2 or so. Fair value 3 times more.
S&P over 2000... Above $100 will go back to $110
JPM upgraded to $120 today. Good potential to break $100 level.
No reasons for the huge drop from almost $91 2 days ago except manipulation. Add on dips and be patient. Impressive growth and low PEG
A long way to retrace back to $29.40
Way way oversold and has room to retrace.
They gave VIPS $300 target, up from $200. 100% upside.
BITAR is way way overbought now. Look at that scary RSI
Above $98 now. That was a good Chart prediction. Need good good news or strong market to break $100 level than momentum will lead to old high $110.
PE is current PE. PEG is forwarded PE taking growth inti the calculation. So before you post comments like this ask me first to learn,
Hi Mytek, Justanotherxx...who would be that generous with the red thumbs like you. I do not post here that often. If you dive me a dozen of green thumbs then I will be here daily..
Very good post. ATHM will go back to $51 and above. More people knows about ATHM now and how cheap it is..Forward PE only 4.75
Industry PEG for this sector is 1.09
Growth rate 106% YoY. PEG is only .36, so low
To bring PEG to 1 , YY can be 3 times higher..yes, I said that
Stronger than usual..baby steps but up up even in weak market..JNJ talking?
Yes, a lot of potential in the used car market. Give it time and it will get to $78 and higher after next earning.

Austin Family #3: A Ring of Endless Lightby Madeleine Lengle
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Vicky Austin is filled with strong feelings as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service. Watching his condition deteriorate as the summer passes on beautiful Seven Bay Island is almost more than Vicky can bear. To complicate things, she finds herself the center of attention for three very different boys: Leo is an old friend wanting comfort and longing for romance; Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently caused the Commander's death, is attractive and sophisticated but desperately troubled; and Adam, her older brother's friend, offers her a wonderful chance to assist in his experiments with dophins but treats her as a young girl just when she's ready to feel most grown-up.
Called upon to be dependable, stable, and wise, Vicky is exhilarated but often overwhemed. Forces of darkness and light, tragedy and joy, hover about her, and at times she doesn't know whcih will prevail.

Eurolot Signs for Q400s
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft saw its backlog for Q400s grow last month by more than 25 percent with a single firm order from Poland's Eurolot for eight of the high-speed turboprops, along with options on another 12. The deal not only helps rejuvenate the Q400's recently growing, but still weak, backlog, but it also signals a shift in Eurolot's loyalties from ATR, 14 of whose airplanes the Polish airline now operates.
"We are embarking both on a fleet-renewal program and route expansion," said Eurolot president and CEO Mariusz Dabrowski. "We require aircraft with excellent operational flexibility, which is absolutely essential in the competitive European environment. The Bombardier Q400 NextGen airliner promises to meet our high expectations."
Bombardier placed the value of the contract at $246 million, based on list prices. The value would rise to $625 million should Eurolot exercise all its options.

President Barack Obama says he hasn't yet scheduled a meeting with Republican Mitt Romney.At a news conference Wednesday, Obama said he hopes to have the chance to talk with Romney before the end of the year.Obama said the election was only a week ago, and that everybody needs to catch their breath.He said he thinks Romney did a terrific job with the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Obama said he's not pre-judging how the former Massachusetts governor may be interested in helping the country, nor does he have a specific assignment -- but Obama said he does want to talk about some of Romney's ideas.

Just wanted to tell you0 Reviews
just wanted to update I guess
After finishing up the details, my brothers and I went home. We all rode in a silver Lincoln Navigator we'd pooled our money for. There was even room for our instruments. In two days we would leave to go on tour. I needed to pack. And Shop. Don't get me wrong, I hate shopping. But there's just something about shopping for a trip that was exciting.
I glanced around the vehicle and not for the first time noticed how much different I looked than my brothers. The twins, Seth and Dean, had black hair. Keenan was blonde. They all had mischievous green eyes and tanned skin. I was pale, had brown hair, and light blue eyes. At least we were all tall. I'm the shortest and I stand 5' 9" Of course I was adopted. My birth family lived in Austria. I can speak German and English. I have almost no accent because I've been in America since I was ten-for the last eight years. Though people said we looked related just because we looked so…together. Like we were meant to be in a group together.
At home we quickly unloaded the instruments and went in the house. Malikai was there, waiting for me. He bounded and tackled me as soon as I got there. Malikai was my huge shepherd mix. His head reached my stomach, and he was muscular. He had tan paws and a tan face. The rest of him was black. His fur was thick and right now I sunk my hands in it. "Hey Malikai," I laughed as he licked my face happily. His eyes were so pretty, a beautiful golden brown. "Wanna go outside?" I asked. The dog ran to the back door in response.
I opened it and the dog ran outside to run around in the yard. I waited, leaning against the doorframe. I gave a little shiver, it was cold for a day in October. After Malikai had done his business and run around for a bit, I gave a sharp whistle. Malikai immediately ran back to me, tail wagging and ears perked. He trotted past me, back into the small house.
When I got back in I found that my brothers were asleep. Dean and Seth were on opposite ends of the couch while Keen was sitting in the chair. The tv was on and I saw that Saw III was playing. Rolling my eyes, I pried the remote out of Seth's hand and turned the tv off. None of them stirred.
Then I went into the bathroom and took a shower. I stayed under the hot water for a long time, feeling the tension in my muscles ease. With a sigh I turned the faucet off and got out, drying of and pulling on a pair of loose shorts and a t shirt. Both were white in color. As soon as I opened the door I saw that Malikai was outside the door, lying on the carpet. He didn't lift his head, but his tail thumped on the floor a few times as he saw me.
I made my way to my bedroom and Malikai followed me. As I threw my clothes on the floor, the dog hopped up on the bed. I had to shove him over to get in bed and pull the covers up, and as soon as I was comfortable Malikai crawled over so that he was lying on me. The big cow.
I woke up around eight in morning. Malikai was snoring, his head on my shoulder. Quickly I pushed him off, and he opened his eyes. "Time to get up," I sighed, poking him in the stomach. He stood up and stretched as I got up and did the same.
After I got dressed, I let Malikai out into the backyard for about ten minutes. After he was satisfied, I brought him in and clipped a leash to him. I left a note for the boys, who were still sleeping in the living room, that said I was going to see Zephyr. He was my other brother, and the oldest out of all of us. He used to be in the band, but now he had his own show.
Outside it was probably fifty four degrees. I shivered but went on. Malikai bounded around, sniffing at everything. Finally I pulled him back and told him to heel. He did so, looking sheepish at my scolding him.
Zephyr lived a good hour away, but I wasn't going to his house. Instead I was going to where he…err…worked. I knew that even though it was early morning he'd be there. Sometimes I wondered why he didn't just sell his house and live at his job.
Zephyr was a….performer of sorts. His place of work was an old abandoned warehouse that had been turned into a stage. It was like a club, and we played there a lot. But usually the only performance was Zephyr, and for most people that was more than enough.
His work wasn't that far away. It took me about a half hour to work there, and I stood outside one of the big doors, screaming and banging on the door. After about two minutes the door opened and I saw my brother's girlfriend, Kitten. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Kitten was pretty. She had long hair that was naturally blonde but she had highlighted her hair with strips of bright pink. Her eyes were jade green and her skin was somewhat pale. She had her ears pierced about nine times or more. Her eyebrow was pierced and so was her nose and lip. As she greeted me I saw she'd pierced her tongue as well. "Hi Li," she greeted me.
"Hey Kitten. Is my brother here?" I asked.
"Sure is. He's back with the cross. Can I take Malikai?" she asked, already patting him.
"Be my guest," I replied, handing over the leash. Then I walked past her and into the warehouse. The cross was behind the stage, which was a good fifty feet in diameter. I knew it had to be big enough for Zephyr, Kitten, and their assistants to be on it at once.
"Zeph!" I yelled, not sure exactly where he was. "It's Aaliyah!"
"Twenty feet to your left," came my brother's reply, and I looked over in that direction. Sure enough he was sitting on the floor next to a big wooden cross. Did I mention Zephyr was a masochist who did stunts that usually had the audience puking up whatever they'd last eaten?
"Hey," I greeted, sitting beside him on the floor. "What're you doing?"
"Just making this look a little better. You?" I saw that the points of the cross were now sharpened like stakes.
"I came to tell you we got discovered."
"No shit?"
"No shit. We're leaving in two days to go on tour with My Chemical Romance. Isn't that awesome?"
"That rocks, Aaliyah. Really." He leaned over to give me a hug.
"I'll miss you," I whispered into his neck. Unlike the others, Zephyr was my real brother. He was six years older than me, though we had both been adopted at the same time. We looked a lot alike, both of us pale and had brown hair. Even our eyes were much the same.
"I know you will, little sister," he whispered back. "Then if you're leaving, will you do one more show with me?"
"Hell yeah I will!" I replied.
"That's great! I'm so glad we'll be back again. Zephyr and Aaliyah-feats that deny pain to its limit!" he imagined, letting go of me so he could 'picture' it.
"And we always knew I was better with pain than you," I laughed, punching him in the arm. "And what will we be amazing the crowd with?"
"What do you want to do?"
I smiled. "A crowd favorite."
"You sure? You haven't done that in awhile."
"Hell yeah I'm sure. I won't be back for a long time, this'll b my last big show."
Zephyr leaned over to wrap his arms around me again. "It'll be so great!" he exclaimed.

Out of so many tragedies involving children come stories of unfathomable heroism and inspiration, and teen Madison Leigh Wallace's devastating drowning is no exception.
The 16-year-old's body was found Friday in an icy river in South Dakota's Falls Park, after she'd jumped in Thursday night to save her 6-year-old brother Garrett. Police think Garrett either slipped on rocks and fell in or was covered in the bubbling water's rising foam, which reached 10 feet high. The little boy lived because Madison -- and another man passing by who also leaped in to help -- saved him.
As wracked by grief and shock as Madison and Garrett's parents must be, they also are probably overcome with love -- and yes, pride -- that their daughter died doing something so noble for their son. Wouldn't you be?
What happened to Madison is one of every mom's (and dad's) darkest nightmares. The death of your own child is the worst loss any parent could ever experience. But losing one of your kids because she was saving her sibling's life? I can only imagine the array of emotions that mother must be feeling. Overwhelming sadness mixed with overwhelming gratitude. Love, emptiness, pride, shock, horror. Anger at the whole situation. And of course immeasurable pain over the death of her daughter tinged with joy over her son's survival.
Madison, the oldest of Jay and Lara Wallace's six kids, died when she was only a teenager with her whole life ahead of her. But Madison Wallace died a heroine, a brave sister who loved her baby brother so much that she gave her life for his. And the 28-year-old stranger, Lyle Eagletail, who jumped in to help both children and who was also swept away, died a hero too.
If Madison were my own daughter, my heart would be full of every emotion in the book right now. But through the terrible grief and loss, I would be so proud of my little girl for doing what she did for my son. I hope that one day, those poor parents will be able to focus on that pride and love, and feel inspired by and in awe of the selfless young woman their daughter Madison was growing into. Maybe that will carry them through this tragedy and the lonely times ahead to a place of peace. I can only pray that it does.
Do you have any words of comfort for Madison and Garrett's family?
Image via jacjac.dk/Flickr
To the loved ones of Madison Wallace: Please never forget what a special girl your Madison was. She knew she was loved as she knew how to love, selflessly, just as our Lord has directed for us to do. She may not have always had the words readily available to tell you all of those things you wonder about, she did not need to. Her actions have spoken loudly and clearly. She knew the true meaning of loving. She is not only a hero for her selflessness, but an inspiration and shining example of how our Lord would have us live, for others, without hesitation. Blessed be her memory.
The world, we live in today, can be very dangerous, & so loving, at the same time. Each person born has, a destiny! All of us, feel for, both, families, & at the same time, I believe, both people who died that day, that God, planed every little, detail. I know, some of you will think I'm a non,caring, person, but I'm not. I have seen, my loved ones, suffer, through long drawn out, incurable dieases, for long periods, of time. Which is a better, slow, or quick? To both families, all of our prayers, go out for you, in your, losses. Your daughter was filled, with love, for her little brother, enough to die for him. How lucky you were, to have had her, for 16 yrs. You brought your children up, with love & understanding, of life. God Bless, & keep you in his, mighty hands. This time, to shall, pass.
