Live and Let Live: In Search of an Alternative to Preemptive Strikes against Iran
After the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released its report on Iran on 18 November 2011,1 the discussion of what should be done, both by America as well as internationally, has increased significantly in response to the pressure of growing fear. Among other places, the issue has become prominent in GOP campaign trail, on which former Governor Mitt Romney has called Iran "the greatest threat that the world faces over the next decade," and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has argued what is needed is a regime change in Iran.2 Perhaps regime change is another cloaked component of Gingrich's proposed Reaganomics 2.0.
In swift response to the IAEA report, sanctions against Iran have intensified in an attempt to contain its leaders by posing significant setbacks to its economy. Despite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's warning in 2010 that the passing of new sanctions against Iran would mean "relations between Iran and the US will never be improved again,"3 President Obama still proceeded to enact the most recent and aggressive sanctions against Iran into law last week.4 Similarly, the European Union has indicated this week that it will take similar action against Iran at its 30 January meeting.5
For many, though, sanctions do not yield enough pressure to disband the threat of Iran attaining nuclear weapons. In the most recent issue of Foreign Affairs, for instance, Matthew Kroenig argues that "the consequences of a U.S. assault on Iran would be as bad as or worse than those of Iran achieving its nuclear ambitions."6 The entirety of his article, pessimistically sub-titled "Why a Strike Is the Least Bad Option," seeks to dislodge arguments against military action against Iran's nuclear facilities. Kroenig's concerns reiterate those of Eric S. Edelman, Andrew F. Krepinevich, and Evan Braden Montgomery, who published similar concerns exactly a year ago in the same magazine.7 These same three authors reiterated their concerns later in an online Foreign Affairs article on the IAEA's findings, and they conclude that "the United States faces the difficult decision of using military force soon to prevent Iran from going nuclear, or living with a nuclear Iran and the regional fallout."8
Despite these hawkish concerns from current or former government officials and advisors, the sanctions seem to be significantly effective. As Fareed Zakaria observes, the sanctions have "pushed its [Iran's] economy into a nose-dive."9 Amir Taheri questions the effectiveness of Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key strait along which much oil exports pass, and he notes that Saudi Arabia plans to increase its oil exportation by 1.5 million barrels a day.10
Though it seems to be fashionable to call Iran's actions "saber-rattling" these days (as seen in Taheri's title), it is well to remember that Iran's actions are increasingly defensive rather than offensive. In his 2006 book Iran's Nuclear Ambitions, Shahran Chubin explains that, in both its offensive and defensive actions, Iran is driven more by its goals and aspirations than its worries stemming from international pressure against it. What we are now seeing, however, is, I would argue, increasingly clear evidence that Iran is—and perhaps has been for some time—primarily on the defensive rather than the offensive. Iran seems not only to be concerned over its incompatibility with U.S. presence and interests in the Middle East, as Chubin notes.11 (Precisely this point was made in 1975, when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi reportedly complained that the U.S. was infringing upon Iran's sovereignty in its pursuit of nuclear technology.12) It is now also recognizing its incompatibility with the emerging form of democracy being demanded from various citizenries in the wake of the Arab Spring.13
Recognizing this shift toward defensiveness helps explain Iran's desire to continue to pursue nuclear energy, despite international resistance and calls to cease its nuclear programs. In some ways, it could even be likened to Israel in the 1960s as it developed its nuclear weapons. Like Iran, Israel at the time was considered too instable to possess nuclear weapons, and the U.S. aggressively resisted its pursuit of nuclear technology. By 1969, Henry Kissinger admitted controlling Israel's nuclear program was possible, and he instead recommended that America "persuade them to keep what they have secret."14 Israel's policy of secrecy has been problematic and has created innumerable problems for nuclear discussions surrounding the region. The keeping secret of its nuclear weapons in the future will be all the more difficult for Iran, seeing that it is severely lacking in allies.
I say, though, that it is wise to look to Israel when considering Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons because it, oddly enough, is in a very similar position to Israel: it is surrounded by countries who think ill of it, and it finds little support in the world at large when it looks beyond its immediate neighbors. In so many of the discussions of what to do about Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, what one may notice is that Iran is never treated as a sovereign nation; rather, it is spoken of as an overgrown child who still has an unhealthy fixation on a dangerous toy, and the adults around it must intervene on its behalf to keep it from seriously harming itself and others.
Perhaps now is the time to begin treating Iran as a sovereign nation rather than persistently threatening to attack it—or even, as did Secretary of State Hillary Clinton while she was campaigning for the presidency in 2008, that America would "obliterate" Iran if it were to strike Israel.15 To argue this is not to suggest that nations like the U.S. and Israel should suddenly become allies or bed-buddies with Iran; on the contrary, they should maintain their vigilance and tread carefully when dealing with a leader such as President Ahmadinejad, who recurrently denies abundantly documented events such as the Holocaust and 9/11. Sanctions should, I think, be maintained in order to strain a country behaving dangerously and making serious threats.
Yet nations can remain defensive and vigilant, all the while beginning to respect the sovereignty of another nation, even if that nation is currently defined as an "axis of evil." Perhaps the most immediate way to do this is to take seriously Iran's claims that it needs to develop means of creating a great deal more energy. It has, after all, been saying this for decades, and it has renewed this claim in recent years as international pressure has swelled. Almost everyone suspects that Iran's claim to be pursuing nuclear energy but not nuclear weapons to be completely false—and, let's face it, they are more than likely right.
But what, I must wonder, would happen if the international community called Iran's bluff by taking its claim to need to pursue means of producing more energy seriously? Furthermore, what would happen if the international community, alongside strict sanctions, also invested in alternate, non-nuclear forms of energy production in Iran? The Iranian government was able to quickly back-pedal when President Ahmadinejad threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, saying it had no such intention of doing so and that the President simply misspoke (that is, "over-spoke"), but it cannot easily alter the line it has presented for decades about needing more energy for the country. This is, I think, a way to test the veracity of Iran's claims without committing acts of war against it and creating inevitable human casualties (also known, rather unjustly, as "collateral damage").
Kroenig is surely right when he claims in his new article on Iran that "time is a valuable commodity."16 Yet it seems there must be other ways of delaying Iran's attaining of nuclear weapons without preemptively initiating war with it, causing collateral damage, violating its sovereignty, and endangering the fragile state in which the world hangs at present. Perhaps peacefully calling Iran's bluff and helping rather than hurting it is, for now at least, the best course of action to take alongside sanctions.

Close supervision is the best way to prevent accidents, but even the most vigilant parent cannot prevent every accident. Take these simple steps to make sure every part of your home is safe.
It may seem silly, but getting down to your child's level can help you spot potential hazards. Spend some time looking around your home from your child's eye level. Note anything dangerous within your reach and target these areas during your childproofing.
When childproofing, keep in mind the most common household hazards. These include:
These childproofing rules apply to every area of the house:
Make your child's bedroom a safe place for sleeping and for playing. In addition to following the general childproofing guidelines above, consider these ways to keep your child safe in their bedroom:
Take these steps to make your bathroom safe:
It is probably best to keep young children out of the kitchen, but that may not be possible for many families. Take these steps to keep your child safe in the kitchen:
Even if your child does not spend much time in the garage or basement, it is still important to have these areas childproofed.
Make your yard safe for your children by childproofing your outdoor space:
Childproofing your home may take some careful planning, but it is a small price to pay to keep your child safe. Take some time to look around your home and evaluate any areas that may need childproofing. And remember—no amount of childproofing can replace the need for adult supervision.

The millionaire bookworm - Feature Stories
June 2013 Issue
Even as he slowly amassed a fortune of nearly $4 million, through owning stock in Georgia-grown companies such as Coca-Cola, and penny-pinching grocery bills, Sidney Samuel Thomas loved splurging on books and the UGA Libraries. Thomas (BBA '46, MAJ '50) devoured three to four books a week, even in the days before he died at age 89. Armed with release dates, the voracious reader—and retired librarian—visited Barnes & Noble weekly to buy the newest biographies, novels and other books. "He always had a book. He was consumed until he got finished with the book," says Thomas' cousin, Bill McGraw (BSA '71, MEd '72). When Thomas died of congestive heart failure in May 2012 he left his fortune, believed to be worth between $3 million and $4 million once the estate is fully settled, to the UGA Libraries. Thomas designated the money be used to buy books and help pay for construction of the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries. Thomas …

Meet the Mind Behind Barack Obama's Online Persona
You've most definitely seen it by now. Michelle Obama, wearing a red-and-white checkered dress, stands with her back to the camera. Her arms are wrapped around her husband, the hints of a smile lingering on the edges of his lips. "Four more years," reads the text, which was posted on the Obama campaign's social media accounts around 11:15pm on election night' just as it became clear the president had won a second term.
The photo, taken by campaign photographer Scout Tufankjian just a few days into the job, pretty much won the internet: 816,000 retweets, the most likes ever on Facebook; thousands of reblogs on Tumblr. And yet it wasn't chosen by the president's press secretary, or even a senior-level operative, but by 31-year-old Laura Olin, a social media strategist who'd been up since 4am. For the first time since the campaign ended, she talked to Tumblr, in partnership with The Daily Beast, about what it's like being the voice of the President — where millions of people, and a ravenous press, await your every grammatical error.
So how does it actually work, being the voice of the President? Who makes the decisions about what to post?
All of our decisions were made in-house — in Chicago, mostly — so we weren't getting direct directives from the White House or anything. But we tried as much as possible to have voices for each account, so depending on the message — because we had all these channels — we had an appropriate place to put it. Obviously some stuff was sufficiently huge so that it went everywhere, but as much as possible we tried to tailor the message for the channel and the audience.
It must be daunting.
It was kind of terrifying, actually. My team ran the Barack Obama Twitter handle, which I think was probably most susceptible to really embarrassing and silly mistakes. We didn't ever really have one, which I still can't believe I pulled off.
Laura and her team were so, so good; they're the standard that future campaigns will have to live up to.

ClamXav: Free Anti-Virus for Your Mac - Help Protect Your PC FriendsBy Todd Ogasawara

So, I took a look at the free ClamXav (based on the Open Source ClamAV proejct) as an anti-virus tool.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The state's highest criminal court has struck down a Texas law banning sexually explicit Internet communications between an adult and minor.
The Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously determined that the 2005 law violates free speech protections. The Austin American-Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/1cpN2Ay ) the law was intended to target "grooming," in which predators befriend children online before making explicit comments.
A companion law criminalizing the sexual solicitation of minors was not affected by Wednesday's ruling.
The court noted that lawyers for the state argued that perverts "will be free to bombard our children with salacious emails and text messages." But it said children already are protected by other laws banning obscenity, harassment and other conduct.
In its ruling the court dismissed an indictment against a Harris County man whose trial was delayed while he challenged the law.

The Baltimore Ravens are not done making changes to their coaching staff. The team recently announced several coaching changes after the arrival of Gary Kubiak as the team's new offensive coordinator.
The Ravens have hired Brian Pariani as tight ends coach and appointed Steve Spagnuolo as secondary coach. Spagnuolo has also been named the team's assistant head coach.
"How fortunate are we to have a former NFL head coach, former defensive coordinator and secondary coach become the Ravens' coach for our defensive backs?" Harbaugh said. "Steve is one of the outstanding teachers in the NFL, and he already worked with our defensive staff and players last season as a senior assistant. Our players respect him, and a number of our veteran defensive backs recently said to me that they wanted Steve to coach them."
Traditionally, tight ends have seen a huge role in a Kubiak-led offense.
"Brian has earned a reputation as one of the NFL's top tight ends coaches, and we're excited that he was available and willing to join us," Harbaugh stated. "Another factor that immediately makes him valuable to us is his familiarity with the offense we want to run. We are making changes on offense, and Brian will be able to help teach and implement them."
The Ravens have also named Special Teams Coordinator Jerry Rosburg as associate head coach.

Gaming and Christianity… should there be a connection?Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
After seeing all the hype surrounding the soon-to-be released Kinect for Xbox 360 from Microsoft, I found myself quickly getting caught up in all the excitement. If you're not familiar with what Kinect is or what it can do, it's basically the new ultimate in home gaming entertainment. Not only does it offer full body game play that requires no equipment, but it also claims to have a new technology that is "intuitive" and is supposedly so natural, that all you need to do is "just jump in" when you're ready to participate. I admit, it sounds fascinating and I'm definitely intrigued. I have always been into tech and gadget stuff and it seems that the more I see–the more I want.
The buzz surrounding Kinect got me thinking about our needs as individuals and how we sometimes allow ourselves to become influenced by outward opinions, products, or ideas. If we think back to when home entertainment was as simple as renting a video or watching a movie on cable, it's interesting to compare how far and how fast things have changed and progressed. It seems today's new products are desperately trying to fulfill a need in people, and even though most of us deny that we chase fantasies, it's becoming more and more obvious that, in fact, fantasies do sell. Most individuals want something supernatural and different because we've been conditioned to believe that "newer is better." I sometimes find myself thinking as a Christian, is it still possible for me to be satisfied with the "old school" things even though the new stuff looks better, more exciting, and much more fun?
When it concerns television programming, I think about companies such as Sky Angel and what it offers for me and my family. Sky Angel has a mission "To build and operate a global communications system as the most effective means of assuring that the Gospel will penetrate every nation, culture, and people" and I wholeheartedly believe it delivers. When I'm looking for a variety of faith and family cable television programs, I don't need to look any further than Sky Angel and the options it provides. But when I think about gaming, especially PC and home video games, it's hard for me to think of a faith based service or a Christian provider who can compete with the big popular game makers who dominate the industry today.
I think the lack of a successful Christian (or any other religion) video game reveals a lot about what our nation wants and ultimately responds to. I think many people still identify Christianity as something that should only be packaged and consumed one way. And when it relates to creating Christian video games, I can definitely see the challenge and difficulty in taking on such a task, but if us Christians are using new technology in other ways, I'm sure a fun and interesting video game can't be far behind… right?
My opinion on why there aren't any good Christian video games is simply because today's games are mostly based on fantasy, and it's really hard to tie any religion to fantasy, even if it is just a game. I also think that many people are dealing with the myths that Christians don't have fun, or that all video games are somehow connected to gambling. While this makes sense to me too, I still think those old ideas and the fantasy connection are really what's hindering progress and preventing a shift in the gaming industry.
So what's the answer? I honestly can't say what the solution is to this "problem." All I know is that there has to be a way to use video games and electronic gaming in a way to further God's kingdom, because what really matters is that lives are changed for the better. Video games have been entertaining all ages for decades, so in reality, video game technology and content should not be immune to the presence of faith, nor should it be completely void of the message of Jesus Christ–because I am so ready to play… aren't you?

As a mother and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I strongly encourage your company to drop all plans of financially supporting the inappropriate NBC program "The New Normal." This show is degrading to families and damaging to our culture.
I am appalled that NBC network is airing a show that features homosexuality in a positive light and mocks anyone who disagrees with the sinful lifestyle choice.
Millions of Americans strongly believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. In fact, thirty-two states have voted in defense of traditional marriage between one woman and one man. Out of the states who voted, it is 100% in favor of traditional marriage. NBC's "The New Normal" is attempting to desensitize America and our children.
While your company is a household name, I do not agree with your financial backing of this program. As a Christian, I feel you are attacking my faith, morals, and values. Not only is this program insulting to conservative viewers and traditional families, but it also focuses on a controversial subject that your company would probably not desire to be associated with.
As a consumer, I am asking you to please pull your ad immediately, and to support traditional family values and family-friendly programming instead. My decision to support your company depends on it.
I urge your company to place "The New Normal" on your "do not advertise" list and consider pulling all ads from the NBC network in protest.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.
I think I might have just threw up a little in my mouth. This is the default email that One Million Moms has written for people to send out to the companies that air advertisements during the show 'The New Normal'. October is National Anti-Bullying Month, a month dedicated to putting a stop to bullying of all types. The ironic thing is that OMM is doing exactly that to all of these businesses. Families come in all shapes and sizes, so to say this is not appropriate for families is not only closed-minded and ignorant, but an insult to "nontraditional" families. It says to them that they are less than. I refer back to a post I made a few months ago about a comment Mitt Romney made towards a gay woman about what she should tell her daughter about why she and her partner could not marry. Romney responded with "I don't care what you tell your adopted daughter". The woman was the child's biological mother, but even if she was not, why do we make certain familes to be less real than others? If there is not ONE mother, ONE father, and BIOLOGICAL children, why is it not good enough? I don't know if any of the companies who have/do advertise for this show will ever find this, but DON'T GIVE IN! You cannot send the message that bullying is ok! That is FAR more harmful to any child than seeing a happy gay couple on TV. Suicide, drug use, harassment, homelessness, these dangers are all too possible in the lives of LGBT youth. Why? Because they've been told it's wrong, and they have so few places to turn for help. Shows like The New Normal are important. They can say "it's ok to be who you are". Seeing happy, healthy, successful role models (even in a scripted series) can provide much needed hope for someone right on the edge.
Look what came today! Can't wait to show off my Obama AND my Ohio pride around town! (Did I mention that I just moved to Florida? ;D!) <3
Hey Guys!
So these are most of my designs from my RedBubble shop! Some of them come in a few different colors as well, so be sure to check them out!
I have the 'Don't Forget To Be Awesome' in Gallifreyan design, but I can also create just about any other quote in Gallifreyan! Quotes that are about as long/complex as DFTBA are preferred, but slightly longer/shorter is no problem. It's no extra cost to ask me to create these for you!
I also have two Tom Hiddleston quotes ("Never Stop" and "Love Your Life"), a Loki/Magneto Helmets design, "Stark 2012", and a LuRe/Reid Oliver quote. All of these are available as t-shirts/hoodies, stickers, prints, and phone cases!
If you are considering purchasing any of my designs, PLEASE do so in the next 4-5 days. RedBubble made a mistake (they admitted to it via email) last month and listed TWO major sales that ended up being cancelled in my history and told me that I would be paid for them - only for me to find out later that I would NOT be paid for them, and that without them (a total of $32 going to me) I was literally only $0.34 short of my $20 threshold, aka the minimum I have to earn in order to get paid. So I got paid NOTHING for my sales last month when I was told (I even emailed them and asked to be sure before the month was over) that I would be receiving nearly $50. Which really sucks as I am unemployed and just moved out of state.
I could really use the money, but I'm still $9 away from my threshold - which isn't that much. TWO shirt sales would do it for me!
If you have any requests (quotes are really easy and quick to do, as well as the Gallifreyan quotes) please send them to me ASAP and I will get them done and put into my shop as quickly as I can.
Again, if you are considering buying any of these designs, please try to purchase them in the next few days. I would truly appreciate it so much!
Thank you to everyone who HAS bought from my shop, and to anyone who does in the future. Also a huge THANK YOU to any of my awesome friends and followers that reblog this and signal boost it for me!
And one more link to My Shop!
<3 Nephie
I have one message burned into my memory for everyone who cares about the outcome of this year's presidential election:
Respond quickly and powerfully to attacks from the other side.
What makes 2012 different from when I ran for president in 2004 is that the other side doesn't have to wait for an outside group to come along with false attacks.
Consider this: Swift Boat Veterans for Truth spent about $23 million on smear ads against me in 2004.
This year, the Romney campaign and super PACs have promised to spend more than $1 billion.
Barack Obama has been a tremendous leader who has moved our country forward in more ways than we even probably now realize. He needs another four years to get the job done.
If you tune in to the convention, you'll see that Mitt Romney and his allies have no qualms about misleading voters if it means defeating President Obama.
But their attacks won't work if enough people step up to protect the President's record.
Don't let them get away with it.
John Kerry (via BarackObama.com Mailing List)
Jim Messina (BarackObama.com)
Obama's Keynote Address supporting Kerry 2004: He spoke of American values, of what makes America great and how Kerry/Edwards would help to continue moving America into the future. Bush was barely mentioned (I don't actually remember him even saying his name, and I watched it yesterday.)
Ryan's Keynote Address supporting himself & Romney 2012: Obama didn't do this, Obama didn't do that. Obama should have, shouldn't have. God. Obama. Romney has bad music taste. Obama Obama Obama. Our rights come from God, not government. We'll be better I swear, but I won't give examples of why. Obama. God.
Unfortunately it's just not possible for me this year, but I've known that for a while.
I'm currently unemployed (by choice, but it still means no income) because I am getting ready to move out of my parents' home for the first time, all the way from Northeast Ohio (Cleveland Area) to Central Floria. I can't afford a U-haul or anything like that so I'm stuffing as much as I can into my little Pontiac Vibe (that I bought with mostly my own money earlier this year) and heading down in two weeks time.
I'm out of school because after graduating from Lorain County Community College (which has hosted Obama twice now, much to my excitement and pride!) with my Associate of Arts on a scholarship that covered about 75% of the expenses for two years, I couldn't afford to transfer to any of the schools I loved because most of them are private schools or simply expensive (Champlain, NYU) and even in-state schools' tuition is just too far beyond my reach. My parents can't co-sign my loans because of financial problems the past few years, and so I was going to be buried in literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans for just two years to finish out my Bachelor's degree. [On a positive note - I recently decided 'screw it', next year I'm going back. I don't care about the debt - I have faith we'll fix the system and that my own talent will pay off int he end. But, that's still at least a year away.]
I'm twenty-two years old, living the life so many others my age are living. We are trying to figure out who we are, how to make a name for ourselves, how to merely get by in this world that promised us so much but has so far delivered so little.
I still have so much faith, though. I love America. I love it's people and it's promise. I believe in President Barack Obama and the progress he has made. I believe that four more years of an America under his leadership is the absolute best thing that could happen to this country and to people like me, who have so much to offer but just need help showing it.
My family has been going through tough times, dealing with financial and medical dilemmas and struggling to find a way to put two kids through college (with another headed there in a few years). We have been deeply troubled by debate concerning women's health issues (not just my mother and I, but my father and two brothers as well) and LGBT equality (an issue we all support, myself especially). My 'adopted brother', a friend who has been living with us for two years, is in the National Guard and being deployed next year, bringing the issues of the war in Afghanistan closer to home than any of us would like. There are so many problems facing this country, many of which personally affect us. One of the things that gives me hope, that gives my family hope, is Barack Obama, and the policies he's put into action (some of which have directly improved our lives) and the policies he believes in and plans to make a reality. We have hope because of his administration and his leadership, and hope is a powerful thing.
Ever since I was fourteen years old and I watch Barack Obama give the keynote address at that year's DNC, I knew he was someone to watch for, someone you could look up to and put your faith in. Four years later I made phone calls, handed out flyers and canvased by city, encouraging others to participate the way I finally could. (I even received cards from family members and friends, congratulating me on being old enough to finally vote!) I knew he would change our lives, and he has. I wish I could be there, to add my voice to the crowd's and to let him know just how much I appreciate all he has done for me, for my family, and for our country.
It's alright, though. Just like millions of Americans, I'll be proudly sitting at home, watching with excitement and conviction as the DNC unfolds, cheering wildly in the privacy of my living room, and proudly sporting my Obama 2012 pins and bumper stickers when I have to leave the house.
This is our year. This is our time. My generation showed the world what they are capable of four years ago, and I believe we can do it again. Barack Obama is worth it. Our nation is worth it. We are worth it.
Safe travels to all making their way to North Carolina!

Basically I posted a quote from the other day where Obama said (not a direct quote) that he believes that politicians, which are mostly men, should not be making health decisions for women.
My friend commented saying "Too bad he already has."
I finally got her to 'explain' what she meant, and she sent me this article (x).
My response:
I've agreed in the past that there is still a lot to be worked on to improve 'Obama Care' (much of which isn't being improved thanks to party politics rather than a lack of good ideas), but that still doesn't show how Obama is trying to control what women can and cannot do when it comes to their health. The article you provided points out a flaw in the overall health care system, which affects both men and women. The commonality between those affected is where they stand financially, not if they are a man or woman. Obama has fought to keep Rowe v Wade intact, he is fighting to get insurance companies to include birth control, and he opposes the regulations that many conservative groups are putting into affect in many states requiring investigations if a woman miscarries or vaginal probing for those requesting an abortion, or making the regulations for doctors who perform abortions so ridiculous that it is practically impossible for ANYONE in to perform them in their state, etc.
Romney and other conservatives want to outlaw abortion, support the legislation requiring invasive probing and that treat women who miscarry like criminals. Many not only want to keep insurance companies from covering birth control for women, but they want to make it ever harder to get even without insurance. While Obama and especially Joe Biden have supported women's equality in the workplace and in terms of pay and have supported the Violence Against Women Act, conservatives have opposed many of these bills and kept them from getting through congress.
There may be flaws in Obama's plan, something he has readily admitted to and that many agree was inevitable to just get the damn thing passed, but his administration and those who support the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act ('Obama Care') have made it clear that they intend to continue working to improve this health care system and to make it work for our country the way similar programs work so well in other countries around the world. This is the first step, and to expect perfection is naive. Most conservatives know this, but they attack him for it anyway because they know that people will buy it.
When you look Romney/Ryan versus Obama/Biden, the record speaks for itself. Romney and Ryan have both voted against women's health and equality legislation, while Obama and Biden have championed for it. Biden specifically has voted in favor of nearly every single women's health and equality bill. Their record for civil rights including LGBTQ (which is also a Women's Rights issue when you think about it because women are being told they do not have the same rights as a man - to marry a woman. [And vice versa]) is impeccable, while Romney/Ryan are very openly against LGBTQ rights and have even suggested that they would support legislation that basically annuls all standing and LEGAL same-sex marriages.
When it comes to my health, the health of my family members and my future children, I do not trust them in the hands of Romney/Ryan. And when it comes to over all equality, I trust those I love in the hands of Romney/Ryan even less. I want to help create a world that I would be proud to let me kids grow up in, that I feel they would be allowed to grow and strive and be accepted for who they are no matter who they are, and that they will always be safe, both from crime and when it comes to their health. I honestly believe that world will not exist in my life time if Romney is elected and he is allowed to take us backwards instead of forward. I DO believe that President Obama is the best man at this time to take is into that world I imagine. His policies are not perfect and he has definitely made mistakes, but he is human, and sometimes I think people forget that. He may not get everything right, but he gets the important things right and he is willing to grow and gain acceptance and understanding toward people (such as his evolving views on LGBTQ) and he continues to show me that he truly has the best interest of every single American citizen, and not just those he agrees with or finds 'important' or 'right', at heart. I just don't feel that way about Romney. Not at all.
So yeah. Agree, disagree. You're allowed to do either. That's kind of the beauty of this country - freedom. And I'm fighting to make sure we all keep those freedoms.

Healthy Eating: What Should You Do With Goji Berries?
We have a family member who is obsessed with goji berries — for good reason, we suppose.
They are the current darlings of the superfood world for being much higher in antioxidants than pomegranates and having cancer-fighting qualities. Of course, we wonder how it took us so long to discover something that the Chinese have been eating forever...
We've tried goji berry juice (a gift from said family member) but not the dried berries, which are said to taste a bit like cranberries but not as sweet. We're all for throwing the little bundles of antioxidants into our cooking, but what's the best way?
Several things we've read, including this thread on chowhound, suggest that they taste better after soaking at the bottom of a cup of tea, a traditional Chinese practice.
We think they'd be good in a rich chocolate cookie or brownie or tossed into homemade granola. You could also add them to a pot of Dried Fruit Warmed with Red Wine and Spices or a bowl of Steelcut Oats with Dates, Coconut, Cinnamon, and Pecans.
We've heard they go well in savory dishes — on top of pork, or even in a chicken soup (the chowhound thread mentions this, too).
As far as the juice, we think it tastes like a lighter, more pleasant prune juice, although our prune juice memories are foggy... We'd add it to a smoothie in a second, though.
Most goji berries are grown in China, although there is some debate about whether ones labeled Himalayan or Tibetan are better. We've read that some US farmers are starting to grow them, but for now, they likely fly on a plane to get to you.
You can find goji berries at health food stores, or buy them online:
- Gojiberries.us
- LiveSuperFoods.com
- NutsOnline.com
- Goji berry juice at Amazon.com.
Anyone out there eating and cooking with goji berries? How do you use them?

I mixed them in some homemade granola bars instead of dried cranberries.
They also go well in a Taiwanese herbal chicken soup, seasoned primarily with ginger and goji berries.
Homemade granola!!! Although I've only become accustomed to it in the last year or so, I love putting it in alongside cranberries and apricots and of course lots of tasty oats/grains and cinnamon, nutmeg, honey and maple. It's been the best way of flavoring plain yogurt!
I find that goji berries' fruity flavor goes great with chocolate. I've made fabulous dark chocolate ice cream and a dark chocolate brownies using them. Not the most healthy of foods but certainly some of the tastiest I've made.
I've seen people just throw them in their water bottles and drink them all day.
The dried berries are also great in salads - they give a touch of sweetness and a great crunch. If you're in NYC they sell them at the Manhattan Fruit Exchange in Chelsea Market for cheaper than Whole Foods.
Muffins made with whole wheat and grains, then add some goji berries and pumpkin seeds. =)
i second the taiwanese soup idea. it's really good and healthy and good if you get a cold! google it.
soak gojis in a nice, thin, garlicky salad dressing, & put on salads. yummmy.
Dried Gojis are a staple in Chinese herbal soups/tea/medicine. It's very cheap (it's not usually used on it's own, it's always mix with other herbal ingredients), and I was quite amuse to see the huge markup whole foods and health food stores sells them for, now that they are the "miracle" berries.
Chinese supermarkets have them. At chinese herbal or dry goods stores you can buy them in bulk. For those who are worried about chinese imported food.. Gojis are fairly safe, else Chinatown(s) wouldn't be as crowded as it is. We are force fed soup made from these stuff from infancy.
I don't really find their taste to be anything unique. I prefer to eat them in the Peace Ginger Hemp cereal. Delicious.
Gojis have traditionally been revered as a longevity food and contain high levels of cholesterol-reducing phytosterols and eyesight-protecting carotenoids.

%% Old pic moved to Narm/JackChick. Discussion here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1326204594031000100&page=1
->''Moviemakers talk about "bad laughs." That's when the audience laughs when it's not supposed to. This is conceivably the first movie which is in its entirety a bad laugh.''
-->-- '''Creator/RogerEbert''', ''[[{{Main/Hindenburg}} The Hindenburg]]'' (1975)
Narm is a moment that is supposed to be serious, but due to either over-sappiness, poor [[SpecialEffectsFailure execution]], excessive {{Melodrama}}, or the sheer [[SoBadItsGood absurdity of the situation]], or even a ''slight ''[[{{Engrish}} mistranslation]], the drama is lost to the point of surpassing "cheesy" and becoming unintentionally funny.
It is [[TropeNamer named for]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiOKNggPh4Q the famous scene]] in the last season of ''SixFeetUnder'', where a main character suffers a brain embolism. He suddenly grabs his right arm and repeats "Numb arm." At this moment the scene is still genuinely creepy, but then it quickly degenerates into "N'arm! N'arm!" before he comically rolls up his eyes and drops to the floor. Even though this was the climax of a highly-acclaimed show, fans and critics overwhelmingly found the scene to be funny.
Were you to discuss this phenomenon in a scholarly work or literary circles, the word you would probably use is "{{Bathos}}". Though all the implications of the technical term do not match up exactly (Bathos can be intentionally invoked for humor, for one). If you're talking to non-tropers and don't want to have to make fun of the unintentional [[BlackHumor comedy]] of brain embolisms, [[TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary that's probably the word you want to use]].
Not to be confused with the FunnyAneurysmMoment, in which something wasn't meant to be upsetting but is, thanks to later events or unfortunate RealitySubtext.
Narm often stems from a failed attempt to pull off a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming or a TearJerker. Alternatively, a good performance in a bad movie will evoke Narm because the actor TookTheBadFilmSeriously. Anything that falls under {{Wangst}} and DeusAngstMachina runs the risk of falling under Narm, as what is ''intended'' to be angsty and dramatic can instead come across as over-the-top ridiculous and absurd. In subtitled {{anime}}, Narms are often created through the use of [[TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary badly used]] [[GratuitousEnglish English]], with TotallyRadical dialog in general being another rich source of Narm. In dubbed anime, Narms are more likely to result from the combination of a budding [[WilliamShatner William Shatner]] reading an overly-literal translation. In CGI movies or video games [[UncannyValley unrealistic movements or facial expressions]] may result in Narm. Dated special effects during dramatic scenes can cause Narm for younger audience members who where raised on nothing less convincing than the Phantom Menace.
{{Large Ham}}s are vulnerable to this trope. See also NightmareRetardant and many cases of SnarkBait, as well as FetishRetardant for erotica (of which [[IKEAErotica the Swedish home furnishings variety]] is a particularly good source of Narm). Not to be confused with [[TheVietnamWar 'Nam]], or the [[Series/BabylonFive Narn]], or [[Series/SesameStreet OMMM-NOM-NOM-NOM]], or [[{{Cheers}} a certain heavy-set Boston barfly]]. Also not to be confused with the [[PushingDaisies National Area for Retired Mills]], [[http://www.narm.org North American Registry for Midwives]] or the [[http://www.narm.com National Association of Recording Merchandisers.]].
Much of the strength of a Narmy moment comes from the severity of MoodWhiplash caused by it. Compare with NarmCharm. Contrast with DudeNotFunny, LevelBreaker or ComicalOverreacting. Sometimes Narm examples come from a moment being too realistic, in which case it falls under RealityIsUnrealistic. May lead to the line/scene in question becoming [[MemeticMutation a meme]].
%% Note: This is for moments that are unintentionally narms, not for moments where something ridiculous was intended.
