*/**** Image A Sound A- Extras C
starring Hiroyuki Sanada, Jang Dong Gun, Cecilia Cheung, Nicholas Tse
screenplay by Chen Kaige and Zhang Tan
directed by Chen Kaige
by Walter Chaw Any fad reaches its nadir in due time and the Western wuxia infatuation, which started somewhere around Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and more or less peaked with Zhang Yimou's exceptional Hero, has found its basement in the truncated version of Chen Kaige's already-pretty-embarrassing The Promise. Somewhere, King Hu is spinning in his grave. An abomination just about any way you slice it, this ultra-expensive, CGI'd-to-exhaustion wire-fu epic--especially as sanitized for North America's consumption--suggests the world's saddest public display of penis envy. Chen, hailing from the same Fifth Generation school as Zhang, produces a show-offy, self-indulgent bit of flamboyant one-upsmanship destined to become a queer camp classic. When the Crimson General (Hiroyuki Sanada) trades in his fabulous duds for a lavender muumuu in which to trade barbs with archenemy Wuhuan (Nicholas Tse, suspended somewhere between pretty girl and Japanese anime hero), a bad guy garbed in white feathers who wields a gold staff topped with a bronze hand, index finger extended in proctological menace, the homoeroticism of the piece--already distracting in the subtext--suddenly becomes the main event. It's probably this unfathomable cut of the film's Rosetta Stone, in fact, pared down to some half-assed companion piece to Chen's own Farewell My Concubine. Without much strain you can see The Promise being transformed, in all its kitsch excess, into a Broadway pop-opera: Memoirs of a Geisha: The Musical.

Vince Young clearly needs better PR help. That's because he recently admitted that he did in fact nearly quit football last year after getting showered with boos from fans and ultimately losing his job to Kerry Collins, who is I believe 57 years old.
Young has already said he wants his starting job back this year, but this admission just continues to make me wonder what is going on in this guy's head.

Post subject: Laughsmith's Our Gang DVD set
I was just looking over mark Brumfiel's Little Rascals site
and noticed he had he had a picture of the art for Laughsmith's upcoming DVD collection-
There's some great info on the work being done to put together the set and also a listing of some of the probable contents for the set. (Can you confirm Paul?)
Fire Fighters
Young Sherlocks
Saturday Morning
The Cobbler
The Champeen!
A Pleasant Journey
Fast Company
July Days
No Noise
The Buccaneers
Seein' Things
The Sun Down Limited
Every Man For Himself
Dog Days
Official Officers
Boys Will Be Joys
One Wild Ride
Good Cheer
Buried Treasure
Monkey Business
Thundering Fleas
The Fourth Alarm!
War Feathers
Olympic Games
Old Gray Hoss
Fast Freight
Buster's Picnic (Buster Brown)
Buster And The Tutor (Buster Brown)
Funny Face (Big Boy)
The Klynick (Hey Fellas)
Mickey's Eleven (Mickey McGuire)
No Fare (series unknown)
I'm pretty sure that No Fare is a Big Boy comedy from 1928 (with Wallace Lupino in a supporting role).
Looking forward to this one.

There is definitely a Big Boy comedy called No Fare that has Wallace Lupino, Eva Thatcher, Jackie Levine, Lila Leslie and Malcolm Sebastian as Big Boy in it. We own a negative of this film. This sounds like a fabulous set that Laughsmith will be putting out. I did notice that C-W films may be supplying Laughsmith with some titles missing from their list most particularly "Your Own Back Yard." To quote thelittlerascals.net: "Your Own Back Yard was a Hal Roach favorite that went entirely missing for years until most of reel two was turned in to the Library of Congress in 1979. C-W Films has a copy of reel one and the beginning of reel two that was nowhere to be found, and then purchased a 35mm safety print of reel two from the Library of Congress (with original text titles) to combine and restore the film. Robert Demoss of OurGangFollies (Yahoo Group) provided them a 16mm home movie footage of Your Own Back Yard with the original text titles and two seconds to bridge the gap between C-W Films' print and the Library of Congress' print." I just wanted everyone on the forum to know our collection has a negative of "Your Own Back Yard" in it from the Charles Tarbox library that has not yet been restored by us but which may be a good candidate for full HD restoration.

Post subject: When?
This is #1 on my wantlist, but it seems like it will never be released. I am so frustrated by checking out the site, only to see "Please visit us again soon for details!" I am pretty sure that message has been there for at least a year.

My understanding is that the contents of the package has been revised since that list was put together. Just for the record, my contribution to "Your Own Back Yard" was verrrrry minimal - just a tiny bit of footage I lent to Robin Cook to link the two main parts.

This set contains some of the very best surviving prints, restored and remastered in HD with breathtaking results, and footage that is unavailable anywhere else. Many archives and generous individuals have contributed to help make this the definitive silent Our Gang collection.
(Yes, Joe, there is also an additional disc featuring a large selection of rare imitator comedies.)
The release has been delayed because of a series of disputes with our former distributor. When these issues have been resolved we will report the details here.
We truly appreciate everyone's continued patience.

Oh, I knew that Paul. I was just trying to ID the NO FARE title which they had listed as "series unknown".
Anyway good luck on untangling yourself from Mackinac.

Will this Laughsmith set ever be released?
Their website says that it is "in production" & "please visit us again soon for more details". But that information hasn't changed for a LONG TIME!
I wonder if they plan to include some of the recent Our Gang film discoveries, such as: "Fair & Muddy", "Spanking Age", "Smile Wins", "The Old Wallop", "Our Gang", etc... I hope so

I only recently heard about FAIR AND MUDDY being extant myself when I read the following post by Robin on the Our Gang yahoo group.
"Hello everyone, I have been waiting for this day to come. It is
exactly 80 years ago today that "Fair And Muddy" was first released
and I would like to announce that this film is known to exist! The
picture quality isn't perfect but it is virtually complete. At this
moment in time, I have no idea when it will be available on DVD, etc.
Any of you are invited to view it before then but you would have to
come to England."
Always great to hear about another "lost" Roach comedy turning up especially one of those late MGM silents.
Chubby, the trouble with putting most of the titles that you mentioned is that (with the exception of OUR GANG) they are are still under copyright which means that RHI has the rights to them so it would entail licencing and would run the price of putting the set together up.
I know that Paul would love to get this set out to us all as soon as he can but until he gets legally disentangled from his former distributor his hands are somewhat tied in the matter.
When that day does come though I'm sure we'll all agree that the set was worth the wait.

I can't wait for the Our Gang DVD set to be released, either. But I'll bet Paul G is a thousand times more frustrated than anyone else who is part of this forum that it hasn't hit the streets. All good things take time.

I had no idea there were so many Our Gang silents in existence. (I never thought to check You Tube!)
The silents have a charm all their own. They're almost a completely different series to the sound shorts. I have a low-budget DVD with some of their silents on it, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of them (Mary Queen of Tots) has a sweet elegance to it that one would not expect in Our Gang.

Paul and partners, hope I'm not pushing it, but, I'd love to see the complete two-reel version of Mack Sennett's
"The Hollywood Kid" included in this collection. Come to think of it, Charley Chase in "Fraidy Cat" is a good one too,
as, aren't the Gang in this as a bunch of bullies to Charley? (been years since I saw it!).
I'm also looking forward to this collection, Paul!

Contractors say upsurge in MACs leads to duplication, added costs

I'm often asked by parents what advice can I give them to help get kids interested in science? And I have only one bit of advice. Get out of their way. Kids are born curious. Period. I don't care about your economic background. I don't care what town you're born in, what city, what country. If you're a child, you are curious about your environment. You're overturning rocks. You're plucking leaves off of trees and petals off of flowers, looking inside, and you're doing things that create disorder in the lives of the adults around you.
And so then so what do adults do? They say, "Don't pluck the petals off the flowers. I just spent money on that. Don't play with the egg. It might break. Don't…." Everything is a don't. We spend the first year teaching them to walk and talk and the rest of their lives telling them to shut up and sit down.
So you get out of their way. And you know what you do? You put things in their midst that help them explore. Help 'em explore. Why don't you get a pair of binoculars, just leave it there one day? Watch 'em pick it up. And watch 'em look around. They'll do all kinds of things with it.

Bottled Water Sales: The Shocking Reality
The Beverage Marketing Corporation, which tracks sales and consumption of beverages, is reporting that sales of bottled water grew nearly 7 percent between 2011 and 2012, with consumption reaching a staggering 30.8 gallons per person.
Despite having one of the best municipal tap water systems in the world, American consumers are flocking to commercial bottled water, which costs thousands of times more per gallon. Why? Four reasons:
- First, we have been bombarded with advertisements that claim that our tap water is unsafe, or that bottled water is safer, healthier, and more hip, often with celebrity endorsements. (Thanks a lot, Jennifer.)
- Second, public drinking water fountains have become increasingly hard to find. And the ones that exist are not being adequately maintained by our communities.
- Third, people are increasingly fearful of our tap water, hearing stories about contamination, new chemicals that our treatment systems aren't designed to remove, or occasional failures of infrastructure that isn't being adequately maintained or improved.
- Fourth, some people don't like the taste of their tap water, or think they don't.
Some people, including the bottled water industry, argue that drinking bottled water is better than drinking soft drinks. I agree. But that's not what's happening. The vast increase in bottled water sales have largely come at the expense of tap water, not soft drinks. And even if we pushed (as we should) to replace carbonated soft drinks with water, it should be tap water, not expensive bottled water.
This industry has very successfully turned a public resource into a private commodity.
A beach for everyone: physically handicapped individuals took part in the "Praia para Todos" (Beach for Everyone) project on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last week.
The project, run by volunteer physical therapists and students, offers a weekend at two of Rio's beaches to the physically handicapped, many of whom don't have the means to reach the beach, let alone swim in the sea.

Famous beautician Bobbi Brown, has written a strong opinionated piece about Botox. How it doesn't necessarily help you in the long run, and how you should do these kind of cosmetic options to help your face, not change it. The interesting piece was published on The UK Times website over the weekend.
"There are two red-haired actresses whom I will not name but will leave for you to identify: one looks amazing for her age and the other has had far too much work done and looks like an alien. She can't have started out wanting to look like that, but once you have had a lot of work done, you can't turn back. It is not just celebrities who have gone over the top messing around with their faces. Look around you. I'm so sad that visits to the plastic surgeon are becoming as commonplace as visits to the hair salon. These women do not look better afterwards. They just look "done". To me, women who are doing these things, like Botox, are not looking better. Botox is a poison: when we are so careful about what we put into our bodies, why do we want someone to shoot poison into our faces?
I tried Botox once, a couple of years ago, between my eyebrows. I really didn't like it. I looked unnatural. Going down this route is a bit like weeding your garden. When do you stop? When have you finished? You think you have done it, but then you notice another weed emerging and you rush to pull it up. It is not a good look. As we age we should still want to look like ourselves.
A face without lines looks expressionless — it lacks warmth and personality. I think there should be a movement away from using Botox and back towards real beauty. The use of Botox has gone too far and it is one of the reasons why I have decided to use real women instead of models in my next advertising campaign. There are bartenders, professional women and housewives, from their twenties to their fifties.
Yes, some of them have lines. Beauty and youth are not the same thing. Of course we all want to look better — but that doesn't have to mean looking younger. Women simply do not need to mess around with their faces in order to look good. Once, a friend of 50 came to me saying she was depressed about her age and wanted surgery. I disagreed and showed her how to lift her face using make-up. She was amazed by the results and agreed that she did not need a facelift. This kind of treatment is available to anyone who can find their way to a make-up counter.
Getting older is about creating a new aspiration for yourself: making the most of what you have, concentrating on what you are putting into your body and being at ease with yourself and full of confidence. It is not about getting nipped, tucked plumped and pulled — which, usually, leaves you looking weird. I can almost always tell when someone has had something done.
Collagen in the lips never works. That over-plumped look is extremely unattractive. You might as well take an advertisement out in a national newspaper, saying: "I have had my lips done."
I do understand that when you go through your forties and fifties there are some things you really want to get rid of. But you should know where to draw the line. Improve your skin, yes, but don't try to change your face. Over the past four years I have had half a dozen treatments for facial hair and for brown spots caused by sun damage. The treatments have worked well. They provide minimal improvements — but that is rather the point.

Air Jordan XII Low 'Black Patent' – Available Early on eBay
March 31st, 2011 by John Kim | No comments
If Tinker decided to carry over patent leather to the Air Jordan XII, you can pretty much expect these (but in a Mid version). All-new for 2011 is the Air Jordan XII Low in this Black/Varsity Red colorway, utilizing patent leather on the mudguard and nubuck on the remaining upper. There's no doubt a Mid-top version of these would've absolutely killed, but the Lows are a nice touch as well, especially with warmer months ahead. These aren't designed exactly like the originals, as the upper features the minor perforations that we first saw on the Air Jordan XII 'Rising Sun' of 2009. These are slated to release soon, but grab them early right now from hot_sella_stop on eBay.

Dads Make A Difference Overview
Add to my favorites Added to favorites!
Target demographics: We train high school-age teens, boys and girls, to be peer educators of middle school-age youthusing the DMAD curriculum in schools, community agencies, and faith-based groups.
Direct beneficiaries per year: About 1,600 youth annually
Geographic areas served: Minnesota statewide, about 70% metro and 30% greater MN. We have also done some national replication and have an international presence as well.
Two of the major causes of children living in poverty are too-early parenting and absentee fathers. Our MISSION is to promote the positive involvement of fathers and to educate youth about responsible parenting.VISION: DMAD envisions a future where society values and supports healthy male socialization and the important role of involved, responsible, and committed fathers in children?s lives.VALUES- DMAD recognizes the research that finds that positively involved fathers have an impact on the social, psychological, emotional, and physical well-being of their children and families, as well as on the health of communities.- DMAD believes young people who are engaged in research-based youth development programming like DMAD will build the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and experience that prepare them for the present and for the future.- DMAD believes communities have a responsibility to provide opportunities that empower both boys and girls with the information and skills they need to make responsible decisions about fathering and parenting.- DMAD believes that young people are positive resources capable of making significant contributions to their communities, and are essential to program implementation.- DMAD recognizes the research that finds that peer education training provides leadership skills development for youth.- DMAD respects all aspects of diversity among Minnesota families, and the different cultural norms regarding adolescent sexuality, pregnancy prevention, family formation, and parenting.- DMAD recognizes that its work is strengthened by collaboration and partnership and works with other organizations at the local, state, national, and international level.Dads Make a Difference objectives are to:- Increase the awareness of how the positive involvement of fathers benefits children and families. - Increase understanding of how paternity is established and the benefits it provides for each family member.- Increase the critical thinking and decision-making skills of youth regarding sexual activity and parenting.- Increase planned-for parenting so young people do not become fathers and mothers until they are financially and emotionally prepared for parenting.- Build the capacity of young people and their communities to form healthy, stable families with involved parents.There is a compelling need for DMAD within the fathering and teen pregnancy prevention fields. Research shows that children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behavior, and avoid high-risk behaviors such as drug use, truancy, and criminal activity compared to children who have uninvolved fathers (Father Facts: Fourth Edition). Research also shows that the economic impact of teen pregnancy and father absence on children and families is significant. A common consequence of father's absence is a major decrease in the financial resources available to his children (Young Fathers). Two-thirds of families begun by young unmarried mothers are poor (National Campaign to Prevention Teen Pregnancy, analysis of 1999 Current Population survey), and almost 50% of all teen mothers, and over 75% of unmarried teen mothers, began receiving welfare within five years of the birth of their first child (U.S. Congressional Budget Office). The social and economic stability of a family is significantly impacted by decisions made early in life by teens who just didn't think about the responsibilities involved when they have a baby.

One new feature I had not paid much attention to in Drupal 5.x is the installation profiles. I almost did not notice they have their own download section on drupal.org. You can set almost anything post-install, including
- Turning on modules (core and contrib)
- Set permissions
- Create default user roles
- Enable translations
- Enable specific theme
- Enable blocks
- Setting site variables
This could save peoples hours, and enable newcomers to easier enjoy the power of Drupal. It is not always easy to know which modules you need, and how to configure them. Wiki and developer site with CVS+project are two good examples. (Or may be a profile for this, yes it runs on Drupal. :D)
Currently, you still have to pre-download all the required files, but I see a discussion somewhere saying there will be facility for profile creator to specify modules/themes/etc to be included, then the tarball will have all that is needed in one download. It still seems very manual and complex to create according to this manual page, but this discussion sounds like that will improve soon. (Though I'm not sure how, I admit I don't know what CRUD is or how it improve your life.) Further development can be tracked in the Distributions Group.

I'm a student at the University of Florida and I'm building a Web site about wine for a class. I saw a picture you took on Flickr and was hoping to use it. (Racks of wine on the wall).
I was also wondering how you would like to be attributed in the Reference section of my site. If you give me a link to your homepage, I'd be happy to include that too.
This site is not for commercial purposes. I had to build a site and I like wine, so that's pretty much it! I've already manipulated the photo to it's final product, so if you'd like to see what I've got, just shoot me an e-mail.
Thanks for the great pic,

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Dates have been set for the 16 sites for the first and second rounds of the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship, with Rutgers University playing host to games on Saturday, March 21 and Monday, March 23 at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.
Rutgers is one of 16 host sites for the first and second round games that leads to four regional sites (Oakland, Raleigh, Oklahoma City and Trenton) for the Sweet 16, and culminates with the 2009 Final Four at the Scottrade Center in Saint Louis, Mo. The other 15 first and second round host schools include New Mexico, LSU, Western Kentucky, Tennessee-Chattanooga, Maryland, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan State, Iowa, Texas Tech, Notre Dame, USC, San Diego State, Washington and Connecticut.
The 8,000-seat arena, also known as the Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) has played host to several NCAA Championship games, most recently serving as the host site for the 2001 first and second round games as the Scarlet Knights were one of the top seeds in the tournament that season. The RAC also hosted NCAA Championship games in 1999 and 2000.
The 2009 NCAA Championship marks the first time Rutgers will host an NCAA Championship game since pre-determined sites were adopted beginning with the 2003 Championship.
The Louis Brown Athletic Center, the home of the Scarlet Knights since the 1977-78 season, has also hosted the 2002 and 2003 BIG EAST Women's Basketball Championship.
Ticket information and game times will be available at a later date.

Normally I don't do this but, I know many of you are HP fans. If anyone wants to friend me on Pottermore, my username is WizardLeviosa210.
p.s. Also let me know who you are if you add me!
9:00 PM for me and I live in California.
Well, if you want, let me know what you'd like to be listed as and I can link to your facebook if you so wish. Nothing more to know about PanemOctober right now, the Gamemakers have been very quiet…
So awesome the Pop Culture Brain guy is lovin' him some Hunger Games.
Happy anniversary, Mockingjay!
Episode 21 of the Hunger Games Fireside Chat podcast airs LIVE tonight, August 22, at 10pm ET/7pm PT! In addition to the usual movie-related discussions, Sara Gundell (The Hunger Games Examiner) will join us to share some incredibly exciting news and we'll celebrate the one-year anniversary of Mockingjay's publication in Cinna-esque style! See our promo for all the details!
Garret Hedlund. After seeing Tron Legacy, I realized this is who I want for Finnick. I hope they at least consider him!
I feel bad for the dude. It must suck having to watch your best friend go through the games and hook up with some guy knowing you were too late in telling her you liked her romantically. He was just really….angry and sometimes a little selfish. But then again, who isn't? The point is that once Katniss came out of the first games, they couldn't have a complete understanding anymore. Naturally, Katniss became a different person, which was no ones fault. I wish they had stayed friends because I did like Katniss and Gale that way. But given the kind of person Gale was, I don't think he could bear being around Katniss or District 12 after all that happened.
As for Johanna, I love her. She is kick ass. She's got attitude, and can occasionally be hilarious. We really start to feel for her in catching fire when she says, "There's no one else I love". I don't know if that's the exact quote, but you know what I mean. She too has had suffering in her past and has no one else. I love her and Katniss. I hope after Mockingjay they became besties. Katniss treated her as a friend, such as giving her something to keep in her drawer, and I loved that Katniss was able to be a friend to her. Johanna is one of my favorites.
I will be getting to some of your questions now!
To celebrate our 20th episode of Fireside Chat (and Jennifer Lawrence's birthday), we bring you Round 2 in our Ultimate "Team Peeta vs. Team Gale vs. Team Katniss" Showdown. This time, we take a close look at the concept of "teams" and why it's okay to acknowledge the presence of a love triangle in The Hunger Games. Supporters of Peeta and Gale go head to head and explain why their preferred District 12 boy is the best fit for Katniss. We also ask a question that not many people dare to ask: Is Katniss what's best for Peeta? Additionally, proponents of Team Katniss join the fray and argue that this is one heroine who doesn't need a hero.
Don't miss out on tonight's Fireside Chat! Listen live 10PM ET/7PM PT here and tweet along using the #HGFiresideChat Twitter hashtag.
Come on, now! It's "Cave, Marry, Kill"! So says the Hunger Games Fireside Chat.
Cave: Finnick
Marry: Peeta
Kill: Gale
Boom. Sorry Gale fans, but I can't kill the other two since they're my top two favorites.

I was looking for a way to use the kale that came in my weekly organic produce delivery - thank goodness I found this recipe - it's a winner. Don't forget to pick up a loaf of crusty bread while you're at the market. As others have mentioned, all the great savory flavor comes from the chorizo, so keep that in mind if you're substituting. I used about 1/2 lb chorizo and will consider adding even more next time.
This is essentially a variation on caldo verde (Tuscan kale soup with chorizo, on this site) and since I love that, I also liked this. The chickpeas add a nice earthiness and texture. My kids cleaned their bowls. I used a half-pound of mild italian sausage links that I broiled in the oven before slicing and stirring in at the end. The chorizo I've been able to find locally has an overly strong smoky flavor that overwhelms this kind of soup so I actually prefer the milder sausage.
Since we do not eat pork our household we used turkey sausage. To give it the spicy kick that it needed we added some finely chopped pasilla peppers and extra garlic. Came out fabs and will be a regular in our household.
This is an outstanding soup and very easy for a weeknight dinner. I definitely recommend substituting a sweet potato for the white potato. Also, I pureed half the soup once it was complete to smooth the texture slightly and thicken it a bit. My kids loved it.
I loved this soup. I made it without chorizo, but I added McCormicks Mexican Seasoning to keep the spice in it. It was great. I shared it with friends who loved it too.
This was delicious, my husband and I both loved it. I used a couple of packages of frozen kale instead of fresh to make it quicker to prepare and it was fantastic. I also didn't bother removing the skin from the chorizo, just cut it up with the skin on.
This is a really good and nutritious soup recipe. I made some modifications to suit my taste. I substituted fresh chopped pumpkin for the potato and regular smoked sausage for the chorizo. I also added some more seasoning to spice up the broth a little. It was bland when I tasted it so I added about 1/4 tsp. of Sazon Goya and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme in addition to the salt and pepper. I also thickened the sauce a bit by adding some whole wheat flour that had been mixed with butter. It was delicious. Will definitely make again.
Loved it! Had everything in the cabinet or garden, and happened to have chorizo in the freezer from my favorite local pig farmer. The only thing I changed was I used a variety of both greens (kale, collards, chard) and potatos (yellow, red, and purple)...my soup was so colorful. I also added fresh rosemary which really added a nice aroma. Easy and lovely. Served with crusty bread and topped with good parmesean. delish!
I don't eat much meat, so I made this soup without ANY sausage or sausage substitute. My partner raved about it, while I thought it was just ok. If I made it again, I would try something different with the broth, which I thought was too bland. Of course, this is probably mainly because I left out the chorizo. Perhaps a bit of clam juice, as suggested by a previous reviewer, would help in this case.

Iran Gets Missile Shield
Barack Obama's administration, despite all the blood and treasure America spent in Iraq, somehow managed to fail in reaching a Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government.: That means that the United States, after overthrowing Saddam Hussein, and freeing a country uniquely located on the most strategically important piece of real estate in the Middle East does not have strategic residual forces within Iraq.
That failure has allowed Iran to fly freely over Iraqi airspace, prolonging the Syrian civil war by delivering arms to Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.: Month after month, nothing has been done by the Obama administration to help the people of Syria while Assad has butchered them.
Could it be that the plan all along has been to enable Iran's assistance of Syria so Iran could get their hands on a sophisticated, mobile missile defense shield, thereby tipping the balance of power in the region away from Israel towards Iran?
That Israel is destined to strike at the existential threat posed to them by a nuclear armed Iran demands the question: Has the Obama administration been actively working on behalf of Iran's Islamofascist regime, enabling them to obtain the tools needed to ensure an Israeli attack is incapable of eliminating their nuclear capabilities?
Is this part of Obama being "more flexible" on missile defense now that the election is over?
Just a little something to think about next time you hear Obama and/or whichever weak, dishonest: enabler he names as Secretary of State to replace "Hillary-the disaster going someplace to happen" (read: John Kerry) bragging about how through the UN, America has imposed "crippling economic sanctions" on Iran.

WOODBRIDGE, Va.- Virginia's new role as a presidential battleground means the state must do better to ensure voters can cast ballots without enduring four-hour waits.
That was 1 of the messages to emerge Monday at a congressional forum in Woodbridge focused on the problems voters experienced in November's presidential election.
U.S. Reps. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., heard stories from voters who endured lines of more than three hours at polling places across northern Virginia.
Elections officials attributed the delays to multiple factors, including a lengthy ballot, lack of money for new voting machines and heavy turnout fueled by Virginia's battleground status.
Connolly is sponsoring an election-reform bill in Congress designed to encourage states to adopt early voting, same-day registration and provide states with funds to buy election equipment.

Renting gets a new lease on life
Millions of Americans going through foreclosure will become renters by necessity. Many others will rent by choice. Should the government keep subsidizing owners?
Related topics: homes, home selling, rent, foreclosure, property taxes
The dust is settling from the nation's housing disaster, and the verdict is in: Renting is the new green.
"We're going to take 5 million to 6 million homeowners and turn them into renters because they're going to lose their house to the bank," says housing analyst John Burns, the CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting.
Homeowners, he predicts, soon will make up just 62% of the population, putting the own-vs.-rent balance back where it was in 1960, as the "ownership society" was ramping up. Homeowners are at 66.9% right now but falling fast.
The federal government has been pushing homeownership since before World War II. By 2004, almost 70% of Americans owned homes. Experts can't put a finger on exactly where we crossed the line from supporting homeowners into outright craziness.
Some say the government pushed mortgages like crack. Others blame lenders for products such as no-income, no-asset loans. Still some blame borrowers for violating the simplest rule of personal finance: If you can't afford it, don't buy it.
Although the emphasis may be changing, we're unlikely to completely cut off housing's IV drip of tax money, because withdrawal could flatten the economy. The mortgage-interest deduction alone ($131 billion) far exceeds the cost of the Afghanistan war ($105 billion) and dwarfs the $48 billion being spent on all Housing and Urban Development programs this year.
"We have a fixation on ownership," says Dean Baker, a co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C. "The idea is, if you're not an owner, you're a second-class citizen."
Are you better off renting?
Homeownership is thought to give communities greater safety and stability, and to help individuals build wealth. But the government is going to expensive extremes in the name of homeownership, Baker says.
Take the Obama administration's Home Affordable Modification Program: It has paid lenders $22 billion to modify troubled mortgages but has actually rescued relatively few homeowners. "I'm very sympathetic to helping people trying to stay in a home," Baker says. "But we're giving the banks money, and people end up losing their homes anyhow."
The government's fixation with homeownership isn't likely to disappear. Politicians use tax subsidies to manipulate the economy and appease their campaign contributors and other constituents. And, motives aside, homeownership is what many people believe makes America America. Federal Housing Administration Commissioner David Stevens recently told USA Today, "We have to be very pro-homeownership." He added, "We strongly believe in a balanced housing policy. . . . Not everybody was prepared to own a home."
Most tax money spent on housing favors owners. Last year, federal tax breaks and subsidized mortgages cost $230 billion; just $60 billion went to making renting more affordable.
It's not like this everywhere. In Germany, for example, nearly 60% of people rent their homes. The family and neighborhood stability that's supposed to come from encouraging homeownership comes instead from laws protecting renters, Baker says. Carefully written laws take landlords' rights into account as well, he adds.
'Could' does not mean 'should'
Not everyone should be a homeowner -- not even if, because of plunging prices and record-low interest rates, it's cheaper in many cities to buy than to rent.
No, the reason it's smarter for many people to rent is because it's flexible. With buying, you're stuck if you can't sell. You should rent if you're just starting out, haven't saved much, may get divorced or have several job moves or life changes ahead. People in their 20s, for instance, change jobs an average of seven times. One-third change homes in a given year, and 40% return to their parents' homes at least once.

Jordan commented on the Wild Country Website:
"This stunning E8 7a climbs up very easy ground before arranging gear on a massive sling to reduce drag as you pull through the roof above on amazing holds. Not 'amazing' as in massive holds but in that to make them work allsorts of heel funk has to be employed to make the sequence work."
Jordan also recently flashed the giant gritstone roof of Paralogism at The Roaches.
He commented on the Wild Country Website:
"As it cooled down i decided to have a crack at flashing it, the first two pulls on got me through the first bit but, feeling something was not quite right, I down climbed the hard bit which seemed a bit stiff. On the ground I took my boots off, had a word with myself. Then when suited and booted up again I went for the crush. I felt steady away and to be honest I cant remember much other than a large crowd of spectators...!"

How to Defog Bathroom Mirrors
Tired of waiting for your mirror to defog when you crawl out of the shower? Tired of having to wait to put your make up on or shave? Here are 15 tips for defogging your shower mirrors.
1. Fog Proof Mirrors
Replace your existing mirrors with fog proof mirrors which are made from fog proof glass. They are perfect while you are in the shower and they never fog up no matter how much steam in the room.
2. Hair Dryer
If you want to defog quickly use your hair dryer. It will get rid of the steam in less than 15 seconds.
3. Anti Fog Cleaners
These are different types of glass cleaners that claim to have defogging ingredients. Some work better than others so try small bottles first until you find one you like.
4. Shaving Cream
This is a very cheap way to defog your mirror. Just apply shaving cream to the entire mirror then rub in well some shaving cream all over your clean mirror, and wipe off with a dry cloth. It lasts about 3 weeks.
5. Candles
Place a lit candle near your mirror about 10 minutes before you hop into the shower. When you shut the shower off and open the bathroom door or a window just a hair the mirror instantly clears.
6. Dawn
Apply Dawn dishwashing detergent all over the mirror then buff it clean. Nice cheap solution.
7. Fog-X
This is a chemical that you apply to the entire mirror and you won't have to worry about fog again. It's cheap and reliable.
8. Liquid Soap
Take liquid soap and mix with water and apply to the mirror. Don't wipe off just let dry. It lasts for about a week.
9. Fan
A small fan left running while you shower will ensure your mirrors don't fog up. Use your bathroom fan or add an additional fan.
10. Vaseline
Smear Vaseline over the entire mirror. Let it sit on the mirror for one minute and then wipe off with paper towel. The next time you shower you'll find your mirror stays nice and clear. This simple fix lasts about a month.
11. Towel
Hang a towel over your mirror while you shower. When you are done showering remove the towel and your mirror will be clear.
12. Shampoo
Put a small amount of shampoo on the paper towel and then cove the entire mirror. Take a clean paper towel and dry the mirror. This works for about a week.
13. Rubbing Alcohol
On a clean mirror apply rubbing alcohol and then wipe off. You won't have to worry about fogging again.
14. Open The Door
After you get out of the shower just open the bathroom door just a crack.
15. Open The Window
Leave the window open just a crack while you shower. You'll crawl out of the shower to nice clean shower mirrors.
Your shower mirror won't do you a lot of good if it's all fogged up. But any one of these 15 tips will leave your bathroom mirrors nice a clear and useable.

Taunton: Pakistan one-day captain Shahid Afridi says it is proving hard to lift the morale of his squad following the allegations of fixing against three of the players.
Afridi is captain for two Twenty20s and five one-day matches after taking over from Salman Butt — one of the three players returning to London to face an internal inquiry by Pakistani officials.
Afridi says the remainder of Pakistan's tour of England will help the players get over the stress of the past few days but added that "it has been really difficult."
Pakistan plays English county Somerset on Thursday before the first Twenty20 against England on Sunday.

Charles A. Stanley, MD, is the medical director of the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a professor emeritus of pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a past-president of the Pediatric Endocrine Society (formerly named in honor of Lawson Wilkins) and currently serves on the Awards Committee.
Dr. Stanley is a world- renowned expert on disorders of insulin regulation in children. He has helped define the various types of hyperinsulinism (HI) and pioneered best practices for diagnosis and treatment of congenital HI.
Research into the genetic causes of HI (hypoglycemia caused by high levels of insulin in the blood) is an area Dr. Stanley is particularly passionate about. His laboratory is currently supported by a prestigious MERIT award from the NIH.
"Genetic diagnosis will enable physicians to determine with greater accuracy and speed which babies have the best chance of cure by surgical treatment," he says.
Under Dr. Stanley's mentorship, researchers were able to identify specific mutations in GLUD1, the gene that causes the hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome.
Under Dr. Stanley's direction, CHOP's HI program is one of few in the world that offers qualified patients a special positron emission tomography (PET) scan under research protocols. The 18F-DOPA PET scan helps the medical team distinguish between diffuse HI (spread throughout the pancreas) or focal HI (concentrated in one spot). For children with focal HI, the scan acts as a roadmap which allows the surgeon to remove only the affected part of the child's pancreas and to cure the patient's hyperinsulinism while minimizing the chance of diabetes.
Dr. Stanley has published numerous articles in journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Pediatrics, Diabetes, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, and The Journal of Biological Chemisty. He was recently co-editor of Monogenic Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Disorders, volume 21 of "Frontiers in Diabetes." Additionally, Dr. Stanley has served as an editorial board member, guest editor and reviewer for more than a dozen medical journals.
In conjunction with his published work, Dr. Stanley has also lectured extensively around the world about the causes and treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in neonates and young children. He coordinated two international symposia where thought-leaders converged in Philadelphia to share their research and develop collaborations in the area of congenital hyperinsulinism and monogenic forms of diabetes.
Dr. Stanley earned his bachelor's degree in biochemical sciences from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, and his medical degree from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, VA. He completed his residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in metabolic diseases, both at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school has no idea how to teach child in ways that are exciting for them. I see my daughter's classmates giving up as the teacher drones on and on. I would imagine public school has better teachers and a better community and I plan on enrolling my child there.
I taught at the school for 7 years- outstanding in every way! Leadership was exemplary. Children who were labeled 'at risk' as 3 years entered the local public schools in regular programs and 90% of the children who applied to the gifted and talented programs in the public school were accepted. Music, Dance, Yoga, Tai chi, Karate, German, Spanish, French and Arabic were offered.
Having briefly taught at this school, I would never send a child here. I left because it was chaotic, there was a leadership void, random people were asked to teach without proper training and without consulting the teacher. A few pupils were frequently out of control on the playground and no constructive solutions were available.
