Within a year the stupids who voted for Oboy will be the loudest crybabies because they're having a worse time making ends meet than before. They voted for more failed Dummycrat policies along with Oboy's tyranny expecting different results. Young people marching the streets jubilantly shouting Karl Marx and Socialism are perfect examples of dumbed down America. These punks haven't the faintest idea what or who they're endorsing. They're up to their socks in hock for student loans and despite the years in college haven't learned a thing or got any smarter. We're in for a four year rougher ride with a budgetless government and a milquetoast congress which grew by 3 seats in the senate of more liberal failures.

The Liberated Keith Olbermann Is Making Powerful TV
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
On Tuesday, Keith Olbermann anchored a special live broadcast of the News of the World hearings from Parliament. Interspersing Rupert Murdoch's historic testimony with commentary and conversation from John Dean, the former Nixon counsel turned progressive commentator, the several-hour broadcast was Olbermann at his finest: calm, cool, collected.
The topic, of course, was as delicious for him as it was for the rest of us—watching the super-wealthy, super-conservative Fox News godheads squirm under the interrogation of government—and so he certainly cracked a few jokes here and there. (Referencing the widespread web meme that Rupert and James Murdoch are akin to the Simpsons' Mr. Burns and Smithers, he playfully compared Rebekah Brooks to Sideshow Bob.) But it also underscored a point longtime fans of his political commentary have known: Keith Olbermann is excellent at times like this; a level, serious breaking-news reporter whose demeanor under duress belies the hot-headed persona his deriders like to trot out. Even clearer, his new slot on Current is letting him stretch out and break free. We're almost exactly one month in to the new slot, and these days, Keith Olbermann is better than ever.
It was no secret that his final days at MSNBC were riddled with strife, unhappiness, and depending on whom you believe, conspiracies to oust the outspoken anchor. While the network is no enemy to progressive viewpoints—they have Maddow, after all—the chatter was that new owner Comcast had, in the words of head conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck, " marked Keith for death." As Howard Kurtz put it at the time, he was "on the defensive about his intense and sometimes incendiary style."
But Olbermann had his own beef with the network, particularly when MSNBC suspended him without pay in November 2010 for making three political donations to Democratic Congressional candidates. When his final day eventually came without warning, the break was rough to begin with, but in retrospect it was one of the greatest things that could have happened for fans of Olbermann and of progressive reporting. The quality often termed "combativeness" has toned down a bit—he is not less passionate, but he does seem much more relaxed. Amazingly, even his hair is a little looser, poufed with a little swoosh and less gel than before. It gives him a more confident visual demeanor.
As Olbermann promised, he's gathered together a smart but motley crew of contributors and guests for the Current iteration of Countdown, ranging from the expected, like John Dean, Senator Chuck Schumer, Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas and relationship advice columnist Dan Savage, to the less traditional. Janeane Garofalo, for one; as he told Rolling Stone last month in a preview piece, he admires and respects the truth that comedians can get away with in political commentary simply because they're framing statements with jokes. "We'll make mistakes, but it will be such a great relief to not have to spend all day executive-icizing," he said, "and just go out and do what I'm really good at. This is as close as I'll get to a comedian's freedom." For a Countdown online extra, Garofalo spoke jovially with Olbermann on several topics including the Tea Party, which still harps on her two years after she called the organization racist. "I do not enjoy when people don't like me," she quipped dryly. "I would prefer to be well liked in any and all situations. I also feel it's quite unjust to be punished for calling racism racism."
With Countdown on Current, Olbermann's found a way to strike a balance between celebrity and activism, eliminating the concept of shallowness that sometimes accompanies famous Hollywood activists and delving deep into their beliefs. In the meantime, he's helping to chip away at the tired idea that show business is full of a bunch of leftists who blather but do little else. For instance, beloved actor Mark Ruffalo is not only a leading man, he's also one of the most recognizable and outspoken voices against fracking, and Olbermann capitalized on that in a segment posted July 13, Ruffalo's first as an official contributor to the program. "This is an industry that is the dirtiest, slimiest, most arrogant and negligent that you could imagine," said Ruffalo. "Everywhere they grow, they wreak havoc. You wanna know how they're lying? Their mouths are moving."

Lasting Legacy
Tony Fernandez helped cement reputation of San Pedro de Macoris as the cradle of shortstops
September 28, 2012
By Connor O'Gara
Baseball players are considered memorable if they achieved success in the city in which they played in.
Tony Fernandez, on the other hand, left his mark on three countries.
The San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic native, spent his 17-year Major League career playing America's game – and helped bring a World Series title to a hockey country. Fernandez's road to international baseball success started when he was just a kid with a dream.
"A seed was planted in my heart," Fernandez said in his Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech. "I needed good soil to develop and for me that was the Toronto Blue Jays from the day Epy Guerrero signed me April 24, 1979."
The 16-year-old shortstop spent five years in the Blue Jays' farm system before he got his first call-up in 1983. Fernandez transformed himself into an everyday player and even an All-Star in his second full season in the big leagues.
His 213 hits in 1986 set a single-season record for hits by a shortstop. But it wasn't just his offense that made him one of the Blue Jays main cogs.
"When you talk shortstop, you're usually talking about defense," said former Blue Jays manager Jimmy Williams. "But in Tony's case, you're talking about a complete ball player."
Fernandez notched three All-Star Game appearances and four Gold Glove Awards by the time he left Toronto after the 1990 season. Fernandez, paired alongside Hall of Fame second baseman Roberto Alomar, led the Blue Jays to their second straight World Series title after he returned to Toronto in the middle of the 1993 season.
"He's just so mentally tough," said former Blue Jays hitting coach Gary Matthews. "He feels he can hit any ball at any time. He hits with no fear."
Fernandez played seven more seasons in the big leagues and battled through a series of injuries. Yet despite missing the entire 1996 campaign, Fernandez bounced back and hit a blistering .321 in 1998 and .328 in 1999. Fernandez finally retired in 2001 with 2,276 hits, five All-Star Game appearances and a World Series ring.
He became one of several big league shortstops from San Pedro de Macoris – including Mariano Duncan, Manuel Lee and Jose Offerman – helping establish that city's reputation as a factory for middle infielders.
"Other players might have more natural ability," former Blue Jays general manager Gord Ash said. "But very, very, few have his self-discipline and dedication."

Lembit Opik stretchered from wrestling match
Opik's latest publicity antic backfired somwehat when he made his pro wrestling debut. After the former leading Liberal Democrat, who has attempted a career as a stand up and appeared in a music video, tried his hand at wrestling he probably wished he hadn't as he was battered and thrown around the ring.
St John's Ambulance paramedics had to come to his rescue, much to the delight of the Twitterati.
Gaz Weetman@GazWeetman tweeted: 'For all of Lembit Opik's doomed PR stunts, he's probably going to be the only credible Lib Dem left by 2013'
Bob Hudson@SAFCBOB asked: 'Lembit Opik stretchered from wrestling match by paramedics - a metaphor for his party's fate?'
Pete Deveson@PeteDeveson stated: 'I don't believe in karma, but right now both Joey Barton and Lembit Opik are trending for being punched in the face. Where's Andrew Lansley?'

When Anderson Silva finally walks away from the UFC, he may go down as the greatest champion that ever set foot in the Octagon.
But for all the talk about his eventual retirement, Silva is more motivated than ever coming off a tough win over Chael Sonnen, preparing to face former training partner Vitor Belfort at UFC 126.
Training only in his home country of Brazil for the fight, Silva has a renewed vigor. His manager, Ed Soares, isn't sure what in particular lit the fire under the UFC's reigning middleweight champion, but the flame is white hot heading into Saturday night's main event.
"He's very motivated for this fight. I haven't seen Anderson this motivated for a fight in a long time," Soares told MMAWeekly Radio. "I don't know what it is (that is motivating him for this fight). I just know that for one reason or another he's very focused and motivated for this fight.
"He likes training in Brazil. At the end of the day, it's his home, and he likes it. He wanted to be near his kids, especially during the holidays. It would have been difficult training in a foreign country, especially without your kids."
Heading into his last fight, Silva was dealing with a sore rib suffered just a week out from his bout against Chael Sonnen. Following the fight, Silva took some much needed time off to recover and now that he's at 100 percent it's a whole new ballgame.
Some have speculated that there is some sort of rivalry or maybe pride on the line when the two Brazilians step into the Octagon. Soares downplays the chatter, but says there's a definite mutual respect that could lead to a very exciting fight.
"I think Vitor respects Anderson a lot, his stand-up game. Vitor is a very good boxer, he's got great hands, but Anderson's got great hands also. Neither one has ever been knocked out. They both can take a good punch," Soares commented. "Anderson's got maybe a few more weapons standing up because he's got the clinch, the knees, the kicks. Vitor has knees and kicks too, but I don't think they're as good as Anderson's knees and kicks.
More MMA
"But Vitor is a very dangerous guy and very technical. I think that it could be one of the greatest fights in middleweight history."
Being a part of big fights is nothing new for Anderson Silva or Vitor Belfort. For Silva's part, his second fight in the UFC was against Rich Franklin with the middleweight title on the line.
Since that time, Silva has either been in title fights or co-main event bouts throughout his UFC career. The fight with Belfort will be no different.
What is different however is Silva's mentality. If he's entering the twilight of his career, you couldn't tell it to listen to him. Silva is having fun training and is excited to fight again, and a motivated yet carefree Anderson Silva could be the scariest fighter yet.
"I'm doing what I'm doing because I love doing it," Silva said recently. "I'm well trained, I've been doing this since I was a kid, so I feel very natural. I'm not doing this for the fame, I'm not doing it for the money, I'm not doing it for the belt. I'm doing it because I love doing it."
If all of the training pays off, Silva could walk out of UFC 126 with his 13th straight win in the Octagon, and ninth consecutive title defenses.
Clearly whoever wrote this story does not know Anderson Silva, or just fed to his bullshit. Anderson Silva is a mean person, he doesn't even talk to the press so i dont know how you can say he such a humble person who loves the sport, everyone loves the sport – doesnt mean thats what hes in it for. Hes threatened by Vitor, and get your facts straight Anderson Silva is a douche asshole, i promise if you knew him personally you would understand… talented fighter, doesn't care bout anyone but himself
@johnny, if your saying this about anderson you must not know much about this sport, clearly Anderson Silva is the king of MMA , his record in the UFC says it all, he his a humble guy, he doesnt talk much shit, cuz people that talk shit get wat they deserve, like Sonnen!!! Im sure he will do alot in the octagon come feb 5…Anderson Silva Baby!!!!!! And For Vitor He Says hes gonna knock out Silva i doubt it good luck with that one…
he was the king of MMA in a Middleweight class with nobodiess, will see saturday, im not knockn his talent, im not denying his skill, but his past his prime, and the main thing im sayin is hes not a humble guy, he really is an asshole, go to Brazil and go see who they love, they love Vitor
Not sure why people think Vitor is such a big challenge for Anderson. Belfort is playing right into Silva's game. The people that do best against Silva are wrestlers. The strikers he has faced he dispatches easily.
Silva will win by knockout in the 1st
@johnny..Anderson has been at the top of the UFC Throne since 2006 and no one hasnt beat him..Leben, Franklin twice, Lutter, Marquardt, Henderson, Leites, Cote, Irvin, Maia, Griffin, Sonnen ..All of those guys have tried and all have failed..Hes in His prime, Like When Michael Jordan was in his prime…im sure people in brazil liked Vitor but way back in the day, were in the present 2011, Anderson is The champ and thats that…if people like him more and if you think Vitor is humble why is he talking trash…cuz hes scared of Silvas talent..like Anderson Silva said "Even a Parrot can Talk"…So i say Silva is humble and keeping quiet and waiting to unleash in the octagon….

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This tour allowed me to have a different perspective of Sao Paulo's favelas, how their their social and living conditions have improvedwhile getting to know some very amazing artistic works. The Favelas are a whole different world within Sao Paulo, waiting to be discovered.
Great experience and not at all dangerous as one might think. It's an educational tour of local Brazilian life where you will learn about the residents of Paraisopolis and their social and economic well being. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the history of favelas in Brazil, government aid for the locals and was able to answer any questions we had. Visiting the artist's workshop and home was fascinating, something I'll never forget!

Soledad O'BrienLast night, CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien held a town hall-style show Beyond Trayvon: Race and Justice in America in which a wide-ranging group of people -- from professors to moms -- discussed the implications of the Trayvon Martin shooting and what it says about the state of racism in America.
After the show, O'Brien talked to reporters about her on take on the Martin case.
She said,
I actually get the sense that it's more like a Rosa Parks case [than other shootings have been]. There is this case that is so clearly defined in a lot of people's minds that it sets the bar for them ... people said, 'if this could happen to Rosa Parks, it could happen to anybody.'
And she's right.
Trayvon Martin did nothing wrong but walk down the street at night ... while black. George Zimmerman would like you to believe otherwise, but his claims of being in fear for his life and physically injured are become less credible by the second (that's if you ever believed him at all).
Zimmerman has yet to be arrested and Martin's parents are still grieving their dead teenage son and hoping justice will be done. But even if Zimmerman is arrested and tried, we'll never be able to rectify what happened that night unless we get to the core of the problem. Racism still exists in America, and it's much more rampant than any of us want to believe.
We've seen it rear its ugly head in the weeks since the shooting. Bloggers, the media, twitter-ers, have all been quick to jump on the "it's not racism" bandwagon. Spike Lee has been the recipient of oodles of racist tweets after his twitter snafu last week. Geraldo Rivera was lambasted for blaming Martin's hoodie. President Obama himself commented on the case.
Here's the thing: George Zimmerman probably didn't see Trayvon Martin walking down the street at night and think to himself, "Ooh, there's a black kid. I hate black people. I'm going to kill him." If he did, we can all agree that's all kinds of messed up. But it's unlikely (so let's give him the benefit of the doubt). More likely: He was suspicious. And then he acted in a way that totally crossed the line -- and for which he should be held culpable.
Let's get back to that suspicious part -- because it is very, very important. Why was he suspicious? By all accounts, Martin was doing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary (let's give him the benefit of the doubt too). So ask yourself this: If Trayvon Martin had been a white guy wearing a suit -- but otherwise behaving the same that evening -- would George Zimmerman still be walking around a free man?
Doubt it.
Even sadder, the 17-year-old would still be alive.
Zimmerman was suspicious because Martin was black. And that's why he's now making up all these lies about what really happened. Because he realizes it. He had no good reason to shoot the teenager. But he didn't act alone. Movies tell him to be suspicious of black people, our country's history tells him to be suspicious of black people, institutional discrimination and prejudice tells him to be suspicious of black people. Racism is still very much a part of America's DNA.
Rosa Parks was kicked out of her bus seat over 50 years ago and yes, America has made a lot of progress since then. But the Trayvon Martin case shows we've got a lot of work to do.
Do you think the Trayvon Martin case is about race?
other than they both were doing tasks relatable to most (sitting on a bus and walking down the street), there really isnt a draw between the two cases. i guess a case could be made that they both were "straw that broke the camels back" moments for a population of disenfranchised people- but so was oj, and i so dont want to purposefully draw that parallel.
i can tell you without a shred of doubt- it is not the media blowing this up to be about race. anyone who interacts with minorities online will tell tumblr, twitter, facebook, etc were ablaze with outrage long before this story made national headlines. it became a story because of social networks and the people on them that are tired of being disposable and to blame in any case. something goes wrong- its the minorities fault- either in charges or bringing it on themselves. it happens over and over. to know this reality while hearing america is "post racial" is INFURIATING and this case is a huge deal as a result of these feelings.
as far as "they act like they are the only people on the world who hasnt had justice done", billsfan- ummmmm.... ANY injustice is unacceptable. are you seriously suggesting because its not the first, we should be quiet? how about NO.
I absolutely think it's about race, thanks to Al Sharpton, Soledad O'Brien, etc. I belong to a Conservative blog, here's their take:
Give it a read, if for no other reason than to see how the media is lying.
billsfan- Yes, many people of all races have "not gotten justice for their family." And some of them quietly accept it. And some of them (like Natalie Holloway's mother) take their concerns to the media. Did you feel this way about Natalie Holloway's parents? How about Amanda Knox's parents? Do you perceive something about these parents that makes them less deserving of having their son's killing adequately investigated? Why don't you tell us why these people are not worthy of taking their concerns to the media, like many parents of other races and ethnic groups have done. You have an unsavory habit of bring race into areas where it isn't relevant...
And for you to say "they have also acted like it was just black people that this happened [sic])" sounds frankly, ridiculous. You're just race-baiting, pure and simple. These people never implied or stated anything remotely suggesting that this situation has never happened to any other people but black people. Perhaps you are reading something into their statements that isn't there due to some bias on your part? Lastly, enough with the "race pimp" line. I get it- you saw someone say it on Faux News, and it struck you as oh so clever. But really, it just makes you sound like a conservative parrot, as it is clear from your limited grasp of the written language that you could never come up with such bon mots on your own.
@ countrygirl "But really, it just makes you sound like a conservative parrot, as it is clear from your limited grasp of the written language that you could never come up with such bon mots on your own"
And there you have it...you were making a nice counterpoint until you had to be insulting. Fine, you didn't like what billsfan had to say , so you had to call him(her?) stupid?

"Good news for negatively impacted investors to hear that Bruce Tichbon is on the side of the royally shafted. All the best for the fight ahead, Bruce."Featured comment
Investors in Ross Asset Management face a "gruesome legal fight" to recover their funds if investigations by regulators show David Ross was running a ponzi scheme, investor spokesman Bruce Tichbon says.
The receivers of the Ross group yesterday applied to the High Court to liquidate the companies and a hearing date has been set for December 17. Receivers have uncovered only about $11 million of the $449.6 million purported to be under management.
Mr Tichbon is among investors who put money into David Ross's funds on the recommendation of an adviser and the Financial Markets Authority wrote in a letter to him yesterday that it was "actively engaging with such advisers and will take appropriate action where, after investigation, any breaches are discovered".
"Some people have done very well out of David Ross," said Mr Tichbon, who has lost almost $1 million. "There will be a terrible legal battle between those who put more money in and those who took more money out. First it has to be determined whether or not David Ross was running a ponzi scheme."
Mr Tichbon represents more than 50% of the affected investors. In an effort to develop a strategy he has been in contact "with the people running the Madoff unwind" in the US.
He declined to give details until the plan is developed. Bernie Madoff was jailed after pleading guilty to running the biggest ponzi scheme in US history, involving billions of dollars.
In Mr Tichbon's case, David Ross was recommended by a friend's accountant, though others may have been steered toward the funds by another authorised financial adviser.
"This is how he seemed to operate," Mr Tichbon says. "Why have an expensive marketing campaign when word of mouth is bringing you clients anyway."
Receivers John Fisk and David Bridgman of PwC yesterday sought the liquidation of four Ross companies: Ross Asset management, Bevis Marks Corp, McIntosh Asset Management and Mercury Asset Management.
They also flagged the liquidation of four more companies – Dagger Nominees, Ross Investment Management, Ross Unit Trust Management and United Asset Management – by way of a special resolution of shareholders, acting through the receivers.
Messrs Fisk and Bridgman are seeking to be appointed liquidators.
Mr Tichbon says he has already written off his losses and any return "would be a bonus".
Mr Ross, formerly a sharebroker, managed funds on behalf of 900 privately wealthy individuals, with management fees averaging $4.4 million a year paid in each of the last three years.
The Serious Fraud Office and the FMA are investigating his companies.

Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, dental sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic "coating" is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively "seals" the deep grooves, acting as a barrier and protecting enamel from plaque and acids.
Sealants protect the depressions and grooves of your teeth from food particles and plaque that brushing and flossing can't reach.
Easy to apply, sealants take only a few minutes to seal each tooth. Sealants hold up well under the force of normal chewing and can last several years before a reapplication is needed.
Children and adults can benefit from sealants in the fight against tooth decay.

The world economy isn't growing fast enough and this is starting to cause some serious problems. One issue in particular that comes to mind is revolution. Any number of countries suffering from low growth and high unemployment could explode in the next few years.
So how can a human resources executive help save the world – or at least his or her country? The answer starts right in your own workplace. HR executives can save their countries by building stronger companies. That means helping their businesses get new customers – or building out the current ones they have.
And there will be plenty of new potential customers in the coming decades. Right now, the world's GDP is $60 trillion, and that figure will grow to $200 trillion in the next 30 years. Simply put, the global economy will have $140 trillion worth of new customers. Nothing is more important to the future of Singapore than winning a significant amount of the $140 trillion. Competing for those customers will be the global Olympics for world economic dominance. The winners will enjoy thriving economies and workplaces. The losers will face unrest and revolution.
HR executives can help Singapore vie for world dominance by building workplaces that win and grow customers.
Here is the math: 25% of Singaporean employees are what Gallup calls "engaged." That means they work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward. These employees are the ones most likely to bring your company new business, because Gallup has found that engaged employees create engaged customers. This 25% will determine how much of the $140 trillion Singapore wins.
Half of employees are "not engaged" (50%): they're sleepwalking through their workday with no energy or passion. Then there are the "actively disengaged" (25%), who are not just lousy, but aggressively lousy. They go door to door petitioning misery, and undermine what engaged employees accomplish. They drive away customers.
Here's how Singapore can win the global Olympics for the lion's share of $140 trillion in new customers: Every company must double the number of engaged employees. That starts with you, HR executive, in your company. And it spreads around the country from there. When and if Singapore doubles its workforce engagement, only great things will follow: an economic boom, an explosion of innovative ideas, and a surge in entrepreneurship. No country can ramp up ideas and entrepreneurship high enough right now. There are literally trillions of dollars of customer revenue waiting to be won.
Hiring and developing great managers, and building up and leveraging the strengths of every individual employee are the two keys to doubling employee engagement. How employees feel about their jobs starts and ends with their direct supervisor. If employees feel, among other things, that their supervisor takes a real interest in their development, or offers frequent praise and recognition, they are very likely to be engaged. Hiring the right managers is absolutely essential to building an engaged workforce. If companies throughout Singapore hire the right people to lead and supervise their workforces, economic dominance will be sure to follow.
And great managers know what decades of Gallup research has revealed: Trying to get employees to fix their weaknesses – through "360 degree feedback" and "competency models" – doesn't work. Weaknesses can't be developed much at all – but employees' strengths develop infinitely. The problem is, too many companies focus on weakness fixing, and this only breeds non-engagement or worse, active disengagement. No company or country will win the global economic Olympics with this approach.
Great managers build development plans around every single employee's strengths. When employees work from strengths, nothing motivates them to achieve more – not money, not love, not vacations, not good benefits, not company volleyball games, not motivational speakers. And employees working from their strengths win new customers.
There are many tests and assessments out there that help companies uncover their employees' talents and strengths. Equipped with the knowledge of their dominant talents, managers and teams learn to accomplish tasks with greater effectiveness, set more targeted goals, maximise collaboration among members, increase productivity, and perform to the highest. Increased understanding of one's greatest talents also leads to deeper employee engagement and higher levels of performance. In fact, our studies indicate that employees who have an opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs.
As an HR executive, you play an essential role in doubling your company's employee engagement. Imagine the benefits your organisation would reap if it could strategically hire candidates based on their talents, and then help them leverage those talents to perform with strength. Motivation and engagement levels would soar and turnover and attrition would be minimised. Only HR can hardwire strengths throughout the organisation and ensure that your business hires the right people to be managers. Do your job right and you'll save not only your company but help your country to thrive – and win the global economic Olympics for $140 trillion in new customers.

great for Scoutcraft
September 22, 2000
During the summer, I work at as Scoutcraft Director at a Boy Scout camp. I spend alot of time building projects such as towers and bridges with rope and spars. I previously used a Gerber tool, which did the job, but I wanted the individual tools to lock. Also since I used the knife blades most frequently for cutting rope, the wave's super-convienent one handed blade opening feature came in handy, especially when I found myself hanging on with the other hand while 20 feet above the ground. Of course, the tool was very useful for other random tasks also. All in all, the Wave is worth its high price.
Well worth having
May 27, 2001
I had the Super Tool first, but I was kinda clumsy. So I got the WAVE. Much better, a bit smaller and lighter, blades on the outside is great, so you dont have to open up the tool to use a knife
Nice to have but lacking in CQ
January 18, 2002
I have had the Swiss tool made by Victorinox and it was very well made. The leatherman wave is nice, but it should have locking tools as well as looking blades. The unit I have is loose when the tool is closed that is why I give the low rating for quality. I would have given this tool a higher score than I did if it were not loose where the handle connects to the plier joint. I do like the needle nose plier on this unit it is very nice. The knife blades are very sharp out of the box for a non custom made knife this is not common. I think this tool is a step in the right direction as far as the design goes, and with a little improvement on the QC it could be a very good tool.
August 04, 2003
at first i thought my wave tool was the greatest thing goin', until i started using it for fishing. all the pivot pionts rusted solid, even though i cleaned the tool after every fishin' trip. they must have used poor quality stainlees, because i never seen this happen befor. now i have to keep the tool in a pail of wd40 for several days just to be able to use it...
Leatherman Wave - the only tool you'll ever need
July 09, 2001
I never go anywhere without it. It was exceptionally handy one late night when I was helping a friend install a new rack mounted server and we found that the rails in the cabinet were not spaced correctly. We used the Leatherman to dismantle the rails in the cabinet, space them correctly, and tighten them down again.

Turkish Aerospace Modernizes Used F-16s
Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) has announced that it will modernize the 17 used F-16s that were previously provided to the Kingdom of Jordan by the U.S. This upgrade program will begin in April 2006 and will involve installation of Falcon-UP, Falcon Star and other Lockheed Martin mid-life upgrade (MLU) modifications of these aircraft. TAI and the Royal Jordanian Air Force have recently signed the final agreements for this program, which will have these F-16s modernized at TAI's facilities through October 2009, when the last of these upgraded aircraft will be delivered back to the Jordanians.

Family Promise Brevard would bring churches, needy together
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD - Dick "Lovi" Lovisone, a Viera resident, is a 26-year veteran of the U.S. Army. And even though he carries the thick skin that one grows after fighting for freedom at extended lengths, the mention of the population of homeless children in Brevard brings him to tears.
"When I saw statistics regarding homeless data - both nationally and locally - I said, 'There has to be something that churches can do about this,'" Mr. Lovisone said.
So six years ago, Mr. Lovisone brought the national Family Promise organization to the church he belonged to near Orlando, where he resided at the time.
Family Promise is an organization that relies on the charity of churches to feed and house homeless families. Currently, the organization has 180 affiliates located in 41 states around the country, as well as Washington, D.C.
After moving to Brevard, which contains more than 1,304 homeless families, Mr. Lovisone realized that the area is in need of help, too.
"Right now, there are 2,475 children in Brevard who are homeless," he said. "And 1,099 are under the age of 5, while 1,376 are in school. So, is there a need for Family Promise of Brevard? Yes."
In order for an affiliate of the organization to serve homeless families locally, 13 area churches must agree to become host churches, which would provide food and shelter to four families, within its walls, four to five times per year.
Currently, Mr. Lovisone has 10 churches on board.
In addition to hosts for the families, Family Promise of Brevard requires professionals to serve on a nonprofit board; funding for supplies and costs of operation; and help with renovating the aspiring affiliate's day center, called Grace Family Center, a building donated by Grace Fellowship in Viera that will serve as the central facility for the local organization.
"We hope to be operational in 2013," Mr. Lovisone said. "We're praying like crazy that we make that goal, and we have a lot of people out there working hard to make that happen."
He said that many aspects of Family Promise inspired him to organize an affiliate in Brevard. Not only does the national organization maintain a 77 percent success rate for helping families gain independence and find homes in about nine weeks, it also stresses the importance of keeping the family unit intact.
"Most rescue missions take fathers and teenage sons and put in one place," Mr. Lovisone said. "And then they take mothers and daughters and put them in another place. It splits families up. We need to be keeping families together, in my opinion."
Mr. Lovisone said that above all other reasons, his main goal in launching Family Promise of Brevard is to help children.
"The thing that really drives me is the children," he said. "They aren't in control of this. They are victims. Kids shouldn't be forced to live homeless."
On Saturday, Nov. 10, at 8 a.m., Family Promise of Brevard will host a golf scramble to benefit homeless families at the Indian River Colony Club in Melbourne. To register, call (321) 255-1182, or email email@example.com.
To learn more about Family Promise of Brevard, email email@example.com. To donate, send funds to P.O. Box 100339, Palm Bay, 32910.

Notes and thoughts from the games:
- Lightning's Brett Connolly got some real ice-time after being the 13th forward in Canada's previous game as he was recovering from an injury. He didn't figure much in the scoring, but you saw a lot in his game as to why he was so touted. His frame is really filled out, he moves at a plus level, he's very aware with an active stick and he can distribute the puck. As he starts to get his legs under him, I fully expect Connolly to be a contributor as we heads towards the medal round.
- Sabres' Zack Kassian was removed from the game due to the IIHF's regulations on hits to the head after he delivered a huge blow to a Czech player. The call was close and one could make an argument he barely grazed Senkerik's chin but it definitely wasn't a vicious blow. This is where a coach's challenge would come in handy, especially when the difference is a two minute minor and a five minute major, game misconduct and possible supplementary discipline.
- Columbus had two prospects in the Canada-Czech game with Ryan Johansen and Petr Straka. Both are very different players and both were impressive in this outing. Ryan displayed some of his plus physical assets that had scouts salivating over him going into the draft, combined with impressive patience and skills with the puck. Straka showed the above-average skating ability he has and was one of the sole Czech forwards who even looked remotely dangerous.
- Capitals' Cody Eakin had a good game; he was impressive physically and showed a willingness to engage and used his shoulder well to protect the puck. He also got to use his above-average shot to quickly go top corner after receiving a nice feed from Cizikas.
- Kings' Brayden Schenn was great in every aspect. He is one of the game's elite prospects and the Kings should be nothing but thrilled with his development.
- Predators' Patrik Cehlin has been nothing but impressive from the word go at this tournament. He's a plus skater with impressive hands and combines that with good hustle to disrupt plays and come back hard on the backcheck.
- Oilers' Anton Lander scored a terrific goal in the Sweden-Russia game. He fired a backhand shot top corner from the middle of the ice from the top of the circles. Lander's game has developed so well from his offensive skills to his skating that when combined with his hockey sense and other tools he is a great prospect for Edmonton.
- 2011 top prospect Adam Larsson had a good game. He showed confidence carrying the puck up the ice and pinching in. He flashed above average puck skills and was making smart plays up and down the ice.
- Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov had a game to forget. He was invisible for a good portion of the game and just couldn't get anything going. He was put on Russia's second line and his linemates weren't helping his case, but he still was making poor decisions and just wasn't creating.
- NY Rangers' Jesper Fasth is a guy to keep an eye on. He's a plus skater with hustle to his game and also showed some decent finish when he one-timed a Calle Jarnkrok play into the twine.
- Ducks' Kyle Palmieri has been great all year outside this tournament and his play has continued in Buffalo. He scored twice and was a contributor this game by using his above average shot, good strength on his skates, ability to protect the puck, and anticipation to jump on scoring chances.
- Capitals' Philipp Grubauer was yanked in his first game after allowing four goals and only making a handful of saves, even though the chances were hard to stop. The athletic goalie bounced back by making 35 saves on 37 shots versus Slovakia.
- I can't recall the last time I saw in an International tournament where the host city booed one individual player for the home country every time he touched the puck. That's what happened with Emerson Etem after he called out the quality of the city of Buffalo. He happened to score in this game too, although it was a very weak goal on the Slovakian goalie.
Coverage of the tournament will continue with three days of round robin action remaining. I will be covering the event on twitter as well. For all thoughts, questions, comments or concerns you can reach me at email@example.com.

Killing Spree
A stick figure decides to go on a killing spree!
In the poopshoot!
Rihm & Maurice
Ren and Stimpy fans rejoice, this series takes it up a notch!
Back by popular demand! I got so many opinionated reviews on my first NG logo concept, that it would be unfortunate for me to let the saga end.
In this scene, the NG logo driver has problems with his tank. Fortunately, there is a female volunteer mechanic who has immediately identified the problem and will make the proper adjustments and fixes at once.
I sure hope the same crowd who had their minds in the gutter when viewing my last submittion don't turn around and mis-interpret anything in this movie as having a sexual nature. Please, if your interpretation of my movies falls victim to your wild imaginations, don't blame me!
[UPDATE: 01.01.2002] I revectorized the file. The text looks better and the filesize went from 30KB to 19KB. If you think this should be the NG logo, vote 5. I have done other NG tank logo movies, but they were just for fun. Go vote them down if you like, but a lot of peeps think this one should be the official Logo!
hee they were um doing blowjob hehehehehe funny as a dead panda, (in other words, funny)
way to keep it short and sweet man, loved it!
Thats awsome
That should not only be NewGrounds logo, but it should be Americas logo!. Very funny man, short and sweet.
That was pretty funny. Yep. It was. Ok. Bye now.
glad it is the logo of newgrounds, pretty good joke you made

Long-Term Changes in the Economic Activity of Older Males in Korea
AbstractThis study estimates the labor force participation rate (LFPR) of older males in Korea from 1955 through 2000 and analyzes the effects of several determining factors on labor force participation decisions at older ages. The LFPR of men age 60 and older increased substantially from the mid-1960s to the late 1990s. This pattern is in sharp contrast to the historical experiences of most other OECD countries, where the LFPR of older males declined rapidly over the last century. The rise in the LFPR of older males in Korea between 1965 and 1995 is largely explained by the dramatic increase in the labor market activity of the rural elderly population. The results of regression analyses suggest that the acceleration of population aging in rural areas as a result of the selective out-migration of younger persons was the major cause of the sharp increase in the LFPR of older males. It is likely that the relative decline of the rural economy in the course of industrialization made it increasingly difficult for the rural elderly population to save for retirement.

'Real World: Portland' basically 'Jersey Shore: NW'
New trailer promises 'pumped,' 'beautiful' playmates and dudes trying not to 'be a slut'
By Kenny Herzog Feb 18, 2013 5:10PM
Halfway through the two-minute "Real World: Portland" trailer officially released today (and viewable below), housemate Marlon confides, "The biggest thing I'm afraid of in my life is disappointing my father and my family." It's a sentiment that begs the question: He does realize what show he's signed up for, right?
Bing: "Real World: Portland" | "Jersey Shore"
Then again, foresight and self-awareness have never been signature traits of "Real World" applicants, which isn't all they share in common with MTV's recently dispatched "Jersey Shore." From the above-pictured, obligatory hot tubs to priceless narration such as, "On the outside, we look like seven, beautiful, confident individuals" and, "It's amazing to me that someone who's so happy actually has big issues inside," these "Portland"-ians might represent the franchise's ultimate, incestuous mutation. In other words, it appears that "Real World" stars, once the template for Pauly D and his comrades, are now taking their on-air cues from the "Jersey Shore." Trippy.
All of which is to say, naturally, that I am irrationally excited for the premiere of "Real Jersey Shore: Portland, Oregon."
"Real World: Portland" premieres March 27 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Brown, blue and tan - Savile Row style
There is something very appealing with the combination these three colours. In my book they are as good as the navy and grey combination from yesterday and as especially so during autumn.
Both the jacket and trousers are bespoke from Savile Row, alas not made for me but rather thrifted for only a faction of the original cost. The jacket was made by now-defunct tailors Fallan and Harvey and the trousers by the still existing tailoring house Davies and Son. An interesting bit of trivia is that Davies and Son actually incorporated Fallan and Harvey back in the late 1990s along with a number of other old tailoring houses. So there is some historical connection between top and bottom in todays fit.

A lesson in scales
Mixing patterns is one of the trickiest things when dressing. If you read books on classic menswear, such as "Dressing the man" by Flusser, suggestion are that when mixing similar patterns, the scales should be different enough to not clash. For instance, a wide stripe tie works with a pencil-striped shirt, even if both are striped patterns.
In this regard, I realised when I looked at the photo above that the paisley pattern of the tie I am wearing today is too close in scale to the houndstooth pattern of the jacket. The end result is just "busy" and not at all visually appealing. A better choice would have been either a solid tie (possibly with some interesting texture to it) or a tie with a large scale pattern. Back to the drawing board…..

The houndstooth jacket
This is one of my favourite jackets, mainly because of the colours and the houndstooth pattern (which I am very fond of)., but also because it is a great "three season" jacket. It is light enough to wear comfortably on days when the temperatures might reach 15 C (like today) but still substantial enough to wear right through winter (with an overcoat of course). One of my greatest thrifting finds, made by now defunct London tailors Fallan & Harvey. It is starting to show a little wear and tear, but that is really the charm of jackets like this one.

Derby could have Simon Dawkins back in contention for the trip to Doncaster.
Dawkins has missed the last six matches with a groin injury but the attacking midfielder resumed full training this week and is pushing for a place in the matchday squad.Fellow forward Jamie Ward returned from a four-game absence with a hamstring problem against Huddersfield last weekend and he will be hoping his substitute appearance has put him in the frame for a starting place at the Keepmoat Stadium on Friday night.Victory for Derby would assure them of a Sky Bet Championship play-off spot but the Rams still harbour faint hopes of chasing down Burnley for that second automatic promotion place.

Critical Review by Robert Wilson
SOURCE: "Dreaming of War and Peace," in The Washington Post Book World, February 19, 1978, p. E4.
In the following review, Wilson favorably comments on O'Brien's realistic descriptions of war from a footsoldier's perspective in Going after Cacciato.
Fantasies must have fed the spirit of the American infantryman in Vietnam just as the canned peaches he carried in his knapsack nurtured his body. Hell means no escape; but in dreams the soldier can escape his fear and dread, and war can become, merely, a ghastly purgatory.
That is why Paul Berlin, an intelligent, sensitive foot soldier in Tim O'Brien's novel about Vietnam [Going after Cacciato], spends so much time fantasizing. On patrol, his eyes may be focused on the ground in front of him, as he looks for the enemy mine which could...

You seem very dedicated to the content you post about and are willing to go out of your way to educate folks as well as posting large pieces in responses to others. I think you'd do very well selling a book!
If I were to write something I would almost certainly write something in a similar style as Starship Troopers… a fictional story used to espouse my views and predictions.
No… because pursuing a "biological solution" to the "masculine problem" is.
i think that if we are going to be intellectually honest always, and commit to going to the ends of our thoughts, we cannot take anything off the table. and that includes biology, and biological explanations for mens sickening behavior. and if this turns out to be the case, then to consider a biological solution. we must consider this. and this past year or so that i and others have been so vocally PIV-critical and committed to acknowledging womens shared experience *as women* around the world, its become so obvious that *biology* is critical to womens experience and its the one place the pomos refuse to go. they flatly deny that there is any such thing as a female-bodied person. even as they are all taking fucking birth control pills (and in the case of transmen, even taking testosterone, which they do not produce enough of on their own for some reason….now why might that be?) could it be that all this denial and willful ignorance about biological femaleness (and maleness) is precisely because the only solution to womens suffering under patriarchy *is* a biological one? that men are biologically, genetically mentally ill, and the only solution to this is a biological solution, and the last thing they want is for us to solve this problem? the problem of them?
this is absolutely a taboo subject, but it has got to be discussed, and it is being discussed. thanks for this thought-provoking guest post vliet!

TRIGGER WARNING: Rape and sexual assault
And responsible fans should be enraged that Sam Raimi went back on his apology for the tree rape scene in the original, and demanded that it be included in the remake and made even more brutal.
1 out of 6 women will be sexually assaulted in her…
So I looked up your stats from rainn… because hey, a feminist with citation.
1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape).1
1 being: National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey. 1998.
attempted It's strange… the two authors who wrote that study… one went on to a fulfilling and lucrative career… talking about violence against women, strangely enough. The other has been described as a "high profile feminist researcher".
It's like taking the fucking KKK at its word on whether or not blacks are more likely to commit crime. Jesus christ I can't be the first person to find this shit out.
The whole fucking 1 in 6 statistics is a fucking MYTH. It's bullshit statistics made up by people who have fucking careers making money off the very shit they're supposed to be reporting on impartially.
Explains why ANOTHER cdc study, not less than 10 fucking years later found the number had dropped DRAMATICALLY to 1 in 10.6…
Something is seriously fucking off here.

Frequently Asked Questions
The mission of the M.S. program in Rehabilitation Counseling, Community Counseling Track is to educate individuals to be socially responsible counseling professionals who will work competently, creatively and collaboratively with and within the community in an environment of diversity so that persons in the community including those with disabilities are empowered to pursue career and other personally important goals with success and satisfaction. We also seek to address New Jersey's ongoing needs to prepare counselors with specialized expertise in providing counseling in community settings for people with disabilities of all types, including psychiatric, physical and developmental. The increased availability of counselors with this expertise is expected to benefit persons with disabilities as well as their families and communities by providing community-based counseling services that will enable such individuals to enhance their quality of life including their ability to live independently, get and keep employment, gain an education, and form social relationships and networks. Additionally, students are prepared to consider the community as a client and deliver needed direct and indirect services in this context. To prepare students to address these needs, the program curriculum emphasizes development of critical thinking, provision of counseling services in an environment of diversity, and adherence to ethical standards. The mission of the program is consistent with that of SHRP in serving both the individual and the community.
SHRP has traditionally responded to existing academic, health personnel, and service delivery needs in the State of New Jersey. This degree was designed to address existing gaps in the counseling field as related to providing counseling and other services to individuals with disabilities residing in the community and to the community itself to address wellness and health as well as other community needs. There has been a long-standing shortage in New Jersey of highly qualified counselors with expertise in these areas to meet these needs.
The degree is offered at two campuses, one in Scotch Plains serving students in Northern and Central New Jersey and the other in Stratford serving students in Southern New Jersey. This assists in meeting needs for qualified professionals throughout New Jersey by permitting students to take courses at a campus near home or work.
Consistent with SHRP's overall mission, this degree expands educational opportunities for New Jerseyans and seeks to improve the quality of life of all New Jerseyans through preparation of professional personnel who will provide high quality counseling services in the community. The program is also available to students from regions surrounding New Jersey who are interested in preparing for a career in this field.
Also consistent with SHRP's mission, this degree program's mission involves educating socially responsible counseling professionals who will work competently, creatively and collaboratively in a dynamic, community-based health care environment. The curriculum emphasizes the development of critical thinking, proficiency in providing counseling services in an environment of diversity, and adherence to ethical standards. The philosophy of SHRP views education, quality health care, practice, and research as a community effort that is responsive to the needs and preferences of the community.
Specific contributions to the mission and goals of SHRP include:
Objectives for the M.S. program in Rehabilitation Counseling, Community Counseling Track include:
Preparing at the master's degree level highly qualified counselors prepared to work in a variety of community settings including working with persons from diverse populations including persons with disabilities.
To accomplish the mission of the program and to prepare program graduates to work in a variety of settings including community agencies, government agencies, and other community based services, we seek to provide students with a broad knowledge of the counseling field including theory, research, ethical practices and decision-making, a well-developed set of interpersonal and counseling skills as applied to the helping relationship, and specialized knowledge of working with the community in an environment of diversity and of counseling individuals with disabilities in the community. The curriculum is designed to educate students in the knowledge base of the field including current research combined with supervised clinical experience in counseling to practice that knowledge base. It is recognized that interaction between these elements is essential.
Counselors have extensive contact with other helping professionals, paraprofessionals, self-help groups, community leaders, and other members of the community. The faculty is committed to the development of program graduates who can work competently, creatively and collaboratively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. As part of accomplishing this, students are encouraged to learn about existing community resources and make maximum use of them in their counseling as well as assess needs for resource creation or modification to meet identified community needs.
Program graduates are also prepared to work with the wider environment as consultants, advocates and change agents. Besides proficiency in working with clients to modify their behavior to accomplish goals, proficiency is developed to interact with the environment to negotiate and, if needed, modify the environment in the interests of providing high quality services to clients.
Faculty members seek to promote an open environment for the consideration and discussion of a wide variety of theories and points of view. As part of this orientation, information and methodology from a range of disciplines are presented and discussed. In promoting understanding of the complexity of human behavior, all the behavioral and social sciences need to be considered. In teaching professional counseling skills, many faculty members have training and experience in cognitive and behavioral counseling approaches such as the Boston University approach for assisting clients to choose, get and keep goals of their choice in the community. Key tenets emphasized in this approach include active involvement of clients in planning and goal setting, behavioral improvement in the environment of need in the community as a critical client outcome, and a primary focus on improving client competency to assume community-based roles. The uniqueness of the individual is also emphasized with choice, empowerment and growth identified as core values. Services are individualized for the needs and preferences of each client as part of the counseling relationship with a focus on the identification and use of client personal strengths. Among the roles individuals are interested in attaining and maintaining are worker, student, independent community resident, and member of a social network. Through professional practice, the process of finding or renewing purpose and meaning in life is enhanced as clients gain or regain roles that they prefer and value in the community.
The faculty encourages applications from individuals from diverse backgrounds interested in studying for this degree. We recognize the need for diversity as part of preparing to serve clients in our pluralistic society and welcome applications from a wide variety of personal, social, ethnic, cultural and educational backgrounds.
All Department faculty strive to create an environment rich in opportunities, experiences, and knowledge that enhances the education of our students. We are committed to the highest standards of excellence in preparing the professionals of tomorrow. We seek out the latest research to inform our academic and professional practice, and share our knowledge in a stimulating, friendly and professional atmosphere.
