Kings, Queens, and Courtiers: Royalty on Paper
Images of royalty in all their splendor, designed to convey the power, majesty, and accomplishments of European monarchs and their courts from the 16th century to 1900, are presented in Kings, Queens, and Courtiers: Royalty on Paper at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
On view through June 16, 2013, the exhibition highlights some 35 prints and drawings from the Museum's collection, with select loans from private collectors. Among the works on display is Albrecht Dürer's monumental Triumphal Chariot of the Emperor Maximilian (1522), printed on eight large sheets of paper and joined together for the first time at the MFA. Other artists represented include Goya, Jacques Louis David, and Honoré Daumier.
The exhibition explores the varied ways in which European monarchs and aristocrats were represented by court artists and those outside of these rarified circles in works that served as propaganda, commemorated an historical event, or even poked fun at perceived excesses or ineptitude.
Highlights include multiple images by various artists of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, Louis XIV, and Queen Victoria, as well as select images of Henri II and Marie Antoinette of France and Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I of England, and others of noble birth. In these regal portraits and depictions of lavish court entertainments, the artists captured a world of unbridled privilege that only the royals and their attendants could enjoy.
To enhance the appreciation of exhibit, the New England Historic Genealogical Society has produced a detailed family tree tracing Maximilian I's relationships by birth and marriage to the royal houses of Europe, available on its website.

Prologue0 Reviews
After Gaara's siblings decide it's in his best interest and (Suna's) if he gets married, a leaf kunoichi is picked and a marriage is arranged. Can Ino and Gaara find love despite the circumstances?
Kankuro stared at his brother from across the Kazekage's desk. Gaara was going through papers, stopping every once in a while to rub his eyes or head and sigh. Kankuro was fascinated. Even though it had been years since Gaara's personality had taken a turn for the better after his fight with that Uzumaki brat and since Shukaku had been extracted Kankuro still found the sight of Gaara peacefully working away incredibly interesting.
Gaara sighed once more before looking up at his older brother, who was staring at him from the chair on the other side of his desk.
"What do you want Kankuro?" Gaara asked. Even though he was no longer a cold-blooded killer Gaara was still not the most sociable creature.
Kankuro was spared the pain of explaining himself when Temari barged in, arms full of yet more scrolls for Gaara to go through.
Gaara looked up at her with pleading eyes, but she just laughed and dumped them on her younger brother's desk before dropping into the chair next to Kankuro.
"What's up with you?" Temari asked Kankuro casually.
"Not much. Got another date with that girl from the market tonight," Kankuro shrugged.
"Getting serious?" Temari asked hopefully.
"Nah, I'm not ready for commitment, not for a long while," Kankuro grinned. "I'm a free spirit; places to go, things to see, people to do..."
Temari lightly slapped her brother on his arm. "You're impossible," she said in a voice that let you know that this argument was old and she was resigned to her fate as the older sister of a pervert.
Gaara looked up from his paperwork and cleared his throat. "Ahem. Some people are trying to work here," he said a little petulantly.
His older siblings ignored him as they continued to chat about their love lives.
Finally Gaara closed the book he'd been skimming through with a loud snap that made Temari and Kankuro jump in their seats, and then slowly turn their heads to face him, wide-eyed.
"As fascinating as your social lives are, I am trying to finish up this paperwork, so if you wouldn't mind carrying this conversation elsewhere..." Gaara intoned, staring at his siblings with his patented death glare.
Unfortunately, the death glare had lost its effectiveness on his irritating siblings due to extreme overuse. Temari waved her hand at him in a shooing gesture while Kankuro just burst out laughing – again.
Seriously, what was the point in being Kazekage if your own siblings wouldn't even listen to you?
"Gaara you need to get a social life," Temari said in that 'I'm-your-older-sister-and-I-know-what's-best-for-you-so-listen-to-me-okay?' tone of voice. "All you ever do lately is work."
Kankuro's eyes lit up – it was obvious he had just come up with an incredibly genius idea (at least in his eyes).
Gaara, however, elected to ignore his brother and respond to Temari's comment. "That's because there's a lot of work to be done," he grumbled. "Being Kazekage isn't exactly easy you know."
"You know what he really needs?" Kankuro decided to chime in, unable to contain his glee at his great idea.
"What?" Temari asked, turning back to face him with obvious interest.
"He needs a girl," Kankuro said matter-of-factly.
Gaara's eyes shot up from the book he'd gone back to perusing.
"What?" he squawked.
"Actually, Kankuro might have a good point here..." Temari said thoughtfully.
"Of course I do. All you need to do is get laid and all that tension you're carrying around will just go awa- OW!" Kankuro shrieked, cut off by a whack on the head from Temari's fan.
"That's not what I meant," Temari said, glaring at Kankuro angrily. "Gaara's old enough that he should be looking for a wife."
Silence greeted her as her two younger brothers stared at her as if she'd just said that Shukaku had really been a friendly old demon who never did anyone any harm.
"B-but your both older than me – and you're not married," Gaara hastened to point out.
Temari sniffed. "I happen to be in a very serious relationship, and Shikamaru and I just don't feel ready to take that step yet."
"And you expect me to-"
"I on the other hand," Kankuro interjected, "am in several relationships and don't feel the slightest inclination to mess with things right now. I am perfectly happy."
"So why do I-"
"Besides," Temari said with an evil grin. "You're the Kazekage. It's expected that you'll marry, even if it's only for the good of the state. No time like the present."
"But I-" Gaara attempted once more to state his opinion on the matter.
"Good, that's settled then," Temari smirked.
Gaara was speechless.
"So who do you think he should marry?" Kankuro asked in the awkward silence that followed their earlier conversation.
"Hmmm, well not anyone you've dated, that could lead to complications," Temari said pensively.
"Agreed," Kankuro said, looking thoughtful for what might be the first time in his life. "Actually, he probably shouldn't marry from the Sand at all."
"How do you gather?" Temari asked.
"Well, as the Kazekage he has the opportunity to make a political alliance with his marriage, which is something we should take advantage of seeing as how we're not the strongest village. And we still haven't completely recovered from the damage Orochimaru inflicted while he pretended to be Kazekage. Besides, people here may still be a bit more – umm, timid – around Gaara, what with all their lovely childhood memories of him. Oh, and you might be hard pressed to find a decent girl here I haven't already dated. Besides, those Leaf kunoichi are hot," Kankuro smirked. He saved himself from another rap of Temari's fan by adding "-and a stronger alliance with the Leaf can only be beneficial right now."
"Point," Temari conceded.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Gaara whined, sounding an awful lot like a five year old for the leader of a ninja village.
"Nope," Temari said, before catching her baby brother's crestfallen and worried look. "Look Gaara, I really do think this will be good for you. Trust us, okay?"
Looking scared beyond all belief, Gaara held his sister's gaze for a few moments before nodding almost imperceptibly.
"Great," she grinned. "I'm off to talk to the council about this then. They'll be thrilled!"
She turned and exited the room, pulling Kankuro with her as he ranted on about the leaf kunoichi.
"And there's that pink-haired girl, although she's a prude and hits too hard – oh and that girl with the two buns in her hair, great body – oh, and how could I forget, that absolutely gorgeous blonde-"
The door shut on Kankuro's ramblings, hiding his almost drooling face from Gaara and enveloping the office once more in silence.
Finally. He could work. Picking the book up once more Gaara returned his attention to his original task.
Unfortunately, all his peace of mind had been brutally shattered and working was now impossible.
Damn it. Honestly. You'd think there were some things he'd get a say in. He was the Kazekage after all.

Ahead of the curve: VN 670 test drive
Ask a truck maker if you can take one of their trucks for a spin, and they usually toss you the keys to the baddest truck in the lineup, complete with every bell and whistle. So I was a little surprised when I arrived at Volvo's headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., to discover Frank Bio, Volvo's product manager, had selected a mid-level trim VN 670 for my drive.
In Bio's nearly 40-year career with Mack and Volvo, he's probably forgotten more about trucks than most people will ever know. I quickly see his wisdom in selecting a mid-tier tractor to show Overdrive: It packs a ton of performance and capability to boot, and there's nothing middling about its appointments.
During a walk-around, it was easy to forget just how different the VN tractor was when it first appeared on the North American market in1996. It was one of the first true aerodynamic tractors, a real departure from the long, square noses of most other tractors.
|Click here to see a video tour of the VN 670 featuring Overdrive Equipment Editor Jack Roberts.
At the time, Bio says, "A lot of people just didn't see the point. Fuel was selling for about $2 a gallon at the time. But when fuel prices skyrocketed, the VN made perfect sense to fleets and owner-operators alike. And today, virtually every truck you see introduced to the market has an aerodynamic design."
Volvo engineers haven't let up over the years, so this is still one of the most slippery tractor designs available. This particular truck features Volvo's full-on aerodynamic package with an adjustable roof wing, full side fairings and a host of back-of-cab features designed to facilitate air flow around the cab-trailer gap.
The spacious cab interior looks better than a typical medium-level trim package. The skylight and upper side windows can be quickly covered to black out the sleeper area. This model features a twin-bunk sleeper configuration for teams. Both bunks fold out of the way to reveal a well-situated work station with comfortable couch seating and plenty of storage.
Up-front instrumentation is sparse on this trim level, but no worries: The Volvo Driver Information System featured in the center of the instrument cluster makes most of the gauge banks you see on premium-spec interiors obsolete anyway.
The system is directly tied into the drivetrain and all critical vehicle systems to deliver performance and diagnostic information as well as real-time driver performance and fuel economy data. The truck also is wired for the new Volvo Link telematics system. Not only will the truck tell you if there's a problem – an alternator not putting out a full load, say – if you're a Volvo Link subscriber, the truck will alert your fleet or home base to the nature and severity of the problem.
If the problem isn't critical, it will tell you to keep rolling while a repair facility is located, parts availability is lined up and an ETA/repair time is scheduled. It's all done wirelessly via the Internet. In a related touch, Volvo also recently made Bluetooth capability standard on all its tractors.
Bio picked a 250-mile loop for us, heading out of Greensboro on I-40, where we'll kiss the suburban edge of Raleigh before picking up quiet back roads through Sanford, N.C., and back to Volvo headquarters.
We'll have to pull some moderate hills, but my main challenge today will be traffic in this booming area of North Carolina. It's no sweat, though.
At highway speeds, the D13 diesel lugs effortlessly, and you hardly notice – the interior is quiet, thanks to the sleek aerodynamic profile and Volvo's sound- and vibration-dampening engineering.

May 08, 2013
At a Capitol Hill hearing, physicians offered thoughts about Republican efforts to change the way they are paid by Medicare. Meanwhile, Speaker John Boehner said the House may again consider a bill that would use money slated for prevention efforts to fund high-risk insurance pools.
CQ HealthBeat: Medicare Doctors Pay Legislation Still In Planning Phase In House
House members continue to build agreement on replacing the formula that dictates payments to Medicare physicians but have not yet come out with a timeline for advancing a proposal. Witnesses at a House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday largely praised the outline from GOP committee leaders that would put in place a three-part system for Medicare physician payments (Ethridge, 5/7).
Medpage Today: Uniform Quality Measures Sought For An SGR Repeal
Doctors need quality measures from a single source and more avenues to qualify for value-based payments under a post-Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) reimbursement system, physician groups told Congress Tuesday. As Washington lawmakers work to repeal and replace the SGR, which determines physician payment, and replace it with a system that rewards high-quality care, medical societies offered their views on how to measure quality in a hearing before the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee. Multiple panelists voiced support for National Quality Forum (NQF) Standards. The NQF is a Washington-based body formed in 1999 to review, endorse, and recommend health care performance standards (Pittman, 5/7).
And in other news -
The Hill: GOP Weighs Second High-Risk Pools Vote
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated Tuesday that GOP leadership could bring back a bill to strengthen part of ObamaCare. The measure to shore up the law's temporary high-risk insurance pools, lacking enough support for passage, was recently pulled from the House floor before its final vote (Viebeck and Baker, 5/8).

I am having issues with my Walther PPS. I called Smith and Wesson and they sent me a pre-paid FedEx label to ship it back to them. Here are some of the instructions.
I called the local Kinkos/FedEx just to verify. The guy said that for <blah><blah><blah> reason, I have to take it to the World Service Center which is substantially further away. Fiiiiiiiiiiiine. I go to the local Kinkos to get a box and again ask, this time to the manager. He says that he can accept the package under certain circumstances.Firearms may not be shipped at FedEx Office, KINKOS or FedEx Drop Boxes
FedEx requires that you verbally inform the receiving FedEx employee that a package contains a firearm.
- It is going to an FFL or the manufacturer
- It ain't not loaded
OK, so I take the box home, pack it up and the next day, bring it back, unsealed, just in case they want to check it. I am speaking with the clerk.
Me: I wish to ship this package.
Clerk: No problem. I can handle that for you.
Me: Well, you should know it is a firearm.
Clerk: Oh. Let me check. (Speaks with a manager type and comes back). I have a few questions. Is it going to an FFL?
Me: Actually the manufacture for warranty repair.
Clerk: Well, I guess that is ok. Is it loaded?
Me: (The smart a** in me is thinking, of course it is. It has a full mag of HD ammo and one in the chamber just to test out the firing pin disengagement mechanism but I say) Of course not. Would you like to check?
Clerk: No, that is OK
So I seal it up and hand him the package. The guy next to me says, "Is that a Ruger needing a trigger recall?" He had a Ruger SR9 that he needed to ship back. We get into an interesting conversation and a few other people chime in. I was wondering if any of them were carrying.
Package was sent off and hopefully S&W can fix my issues and I get it back quickly.

NASCAR has suspended a Nationwide Series driver for violating the sanctioning body's code of conduct.
The suspension of Jeremy Clements, who is from Spartanburg, was announced Wednesday. It is indefinite.
Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations, said Clements made an "intolerable and insensitive remark" during the course of an interview. No other details were given.
Clements finished 33rd in Saturday's race at Daytona after dropping out early with an oil-line problem.

This album truly depicts the Indian spirit through chanting melodies, flute and the sweetened strings of the famous Indian sitar.
Terry Oldfield
|Total Time:
"The lovely songs on flautist Terry Oldfield's passionate but ethereal Spirit of India begin slowly, gradually cohering out of thin air, building layers of intense beauty, making them ideal for closed-eye voyages through "the land of mystery" (this kind of beginning, where the song seems to develop gradually out of thin air, is a hallmark of Indian classical music) and change, blossom, die, and be reborn as time seems to stand still. A beautiful and evocative flute over growling tamboura opens "Sandalwood & Jasmine" before a simple four-part melody begins to weave a loving tunnel of spiral light. The music beckons your third ear forward with pulsing chimes, recalling Oldfield's brother's classic Tubular Bells, before the sitar and short-note flutes take over and you realize that the the long tunnel you've been following has been gradually outlining the contours of a gigantic Hindu temple in the starry night.
"Voices in the Wind" and "Jayadev, the Bard of Love" take things deep into the void beyond time and space though flutes, sitars, tablas, and male and female voices singing and chanting mantras as they ride the currents. "Of a Love That Sweetly Dwells" finds Oldfield's flute fluttering in merry play like a child among the adults, with heavy Indian strings that sometimes melt the whole track away into the resounding simple notes from the sitar. Echoing voices come in and out of each track, sometimes soaring to the forefront, sometimes hanging back, barely audible in the distance, like a half-forgotten dream.
First and foremost an album for meditation, with plenty of Terry Oldfield's patented mystical flutes on board, this is still a voyage deep into the textures and tastes of one of the oldest and most deeply spiritual countries on the planet. We can lose ourselves completely in its colorful, swirling winds and spirits, and never even scratch the surface of its mystery. So light some sandalwood incense and a candle, grab a pillow, assume the lotus, and let Oldfield whisk you off into temples along the Ganges wherein ego and worry dissolve and Spirit of India becomes your spirit in the most real and ancient of senses"

At first I didn't think much of the "scare" put into Manhattan yesterday by Air Force One and its fighter escort. But once I saw the pictures, it was all too easy to see how ominous it would have seemed.
And how stupid somebody was to approve it.

""Statement from Louis Caldera, Director White House Military Office, on Air Force One flight over New York
"Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused.""
I'd like to know what the "proper steps" were…but he needs to go.

You're telling me the is the FIRST time you noticed Obama and his staff wasn't too bright after 99 days??? All the really big and important problems breeze right over your heads, but a dang airplane and fighters are visible at low level in NY and now the Country goes "whoa, wait a minute, that was dumb"… Wow…simply wow….
April 28th, 2009
7:32 am
Did NO ONE say, "Hey, some folks might find this frightening" even if 911 had not happened?
I'm sure some did, but obviously there wasn't enough attention paid to the potential for panic.
Mayor Bloomberg's take sounds about right:
"Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo-op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination. Poor judgment would be a nice ways to phrase it, but they did. I also think that once they had told us, we should have done a better job. Had I known about it, I would have called them right away and asked them not to. It is the federal government and they can do in the end what they please, but I would have tried to stop it. I don't know there's a lot else to say other than they shouldn't have done it."

Gee, BD. New administration waiting to be tested by extremists, low flyover near the very site of the worst terrorist attack on America.
Yeah, I'd say the people and leaders of NYC have a right to be a bit touchy, don't you?
Maybe if a couple of million tons of buildings had fallen on you, you might be a bit touchy, too.

Make fun of organized protests all you want, we were out there protesting for you to. Has Obama and his staff really helped anyone yet…REALLY??? Didn't think so. Even the poor homeless woman in FL who was given a temporary house by a REPUBLICAN'S WIFE-she's regretting voting for Obama because she now knows he is doing NOTHING to help her. It's funny how the left will organize and protest ANYTHING in a minute (especially if Sharptongue is involved), but when the right protests, it doesn't seem that important.
Yes DB, it was just as dumb to call them tesbagging, which why we called the TEA PARTIES. Remember, the left technically coined 'teabagging' as their word, so yes, the left is dumb. Thank you for proving my point!

I'll bet it took a lot of people's minds off of their day-to-day issues for a little while. That would have been the perfect stunt for the GOP to pull the day before an election. Somehow, it just would not work for the Democrats though. They would have just kept on shopping like good citizens.

"Yup, that one just wasn't bright"
One? We wish it was just one.
If he was the actual CEO of any business, he would be gone already. He had the audacity to "fire" Rick Wagoner after his own performance in first 100 days?
Geithner (although we all now have the ultimate excuse if we screw up our taxes)
Napolitano – Vets are terrorists
Holder – Americans are cowards
The folks at catepillar that lost their jobs after Barry said otherwise
Torture prosecution – yes, no ,yes, no ,maybe, who knows
Arrogant America
Mexico is our fault
Closing Guantanamo without having a clue as to where to put them – probably coming to a neighborhood near you
Overseas abortions
Pelosi writing porkulus plan
Taking a 4-day holiday weekend before signing "emergency" legislation
Signing an order that doctors must perform abortions, in violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
Signing earmarks while denouncing them.
Quadrupling the deficits, while denouncing them.
Considering having the VA charge veterans for service-related injuries.
Thanking himself
Saying his bowling is "like the Special Olympics."
AIG Bonuses
Banning the press from covering his acceptance of a press association award
Firing Rick Wagoner
Flying plane over NYC
And thats just a partial list.
I try that in any of the companies I've ever worked for, and I'm out the door.
And for those that say he didn't personally do half the items on my list, you are correct. But he is the CEO, just like Wagoner. Thats his team and he is accountable.
And the real scary part – its only been 100 days.
We can make a list for Bush too for all those posters that will counter this with Bush this or Bush that. Take notice, that Bush has been fired, and we now have a new CEO.
Time to worry about the current problem, not the past problem.

It happened under President Obama's oversight of the country. We appropriately place the blame on him. What I, and many others, should contest is how serious this actually is. I mean, the plane trip was simply not thought out very well. They didn't have malicious intent or anything. Main point: who cares? No one died, no one was injured by the plane which didn't ram into a building. Some people are acting as if this will somehow lead to the crucifixion of Obama. Let me shed some light on how incredibly stupid this is. We're still in an ongoing war which has about 30,000 casualties and a death toll in the 4000s. We have a trillion dollar debt, which is increasing by the day by the billions. The recession is only getting worse, and you people think this is a big deal. You know what's a big deal? Look around your neighborhood. Find the person who has a son or daughter in the military. Ask them if they care that a plane flew too low in Manhattan.

Sabrina and I do not understand the New York reaction to this fly-by. Atlanta's reaction is equally puzzling. Surely everyone is aware that any threat of an attack of this nature ended on January 20.

Lets put it into context for you.
As an employee, how many mistakes do you get before you are deemed to be detrimental to the job at hand? Most people get written up in some form of progressive discipline program which ultimately leads out the door.
CEO's are and should be held to a higher standard. Or maybe some here like their CEO's to be on a drawn out discipline program. That would certainly bode well for the company, wouldn't it?
Small problems lead to bigger problems. The man just does not have the experience not to make the mistakes.
Once again, I am an independant voter and do not back your party dogma. Too bad some of you are so caught up in being "left" or "right" that you can't recognize mistakes when you see them. Guilt is guilt, everything else is excuses.

Just to put it all into context, let's look at tobacco deaths:
"We found that the absolute annual burden from tobacco use was highest for the United States at 514,000 deaths per year in 2000, which is equivalent to the impact of an 9/11 type terrorist attack every 2.1 days," says Dr Thomson.
The study, which is published in the international journal Globalization and Health, is part of wider attempt by the researchers to put international terrorism into a public health context, by comparing its mortality burden with those of other preventable causes of premature death.
"In the last 20 or more years governments have spent considerable sums in attempts to combat international terrorism, as well as introducing new laws," he says. "However, despite tobacco mortality's far greater scale, the policy response by government on tobacco has been much weaker."

The efficacy with which President Ob-amateur pulling the levers of power behind the government of this great nation reminds me of a monkey playing with a shiny bauble.
(Note: the monkey has no racsist symbolism, it was selected because of the stupid, confused look that exists when a monkey holds something beyond its very limited comprehension.)
April 28th, 2009
8:34 am
With the exception of the telepromter – which was again an embarassment yesterday – the rest are "right" talking points. Just as silly as your "left" dogma.
Open your eyes and see. Mistakes are mistakes, left, right, or middle.

Hey Jay, maybe this afternoon's post can be a summary of the comments Julia is receiving about the new print format. OMG! I haven't looked at the new format myself, but I was 40 or so posts down the list and not a single positive comment. Not one. And Julia jumps on and tells all the stupid readers how their research shows the direct opposite of what your customers are telling her. Laughable. And sad.

New Yorkers looked up in the air, see an airliner and two escorting fighters and several seconds later nothing happens. Sounds like the worst thing to ever happen since over 4000 men and women are blownup and shot on a humbug. But then there's that little water problem in New Orleans a few years back.
April 28th, 2009
8:46 am
BD, you need to try a little harder. Compare apples to apples.
Is Obama not the CEO of this country?? Yet he has never run even a small business. Many politicians have not, especially perennial sitting congresspeople. That is why we have had no Senators recently. Governors have experience running a business, as do Mayors. From a business perspective, it makes more sense to have someone with at least a little experience.
Sorry, I prefer my CEO's to know what they are doing. It seems you don't.

"They (the Obama administration) have nothing on Bush."
Peadawg, I did not vote for Barack Obama. And said on this very forum that would never happen.
But, and I admit it is still very early, Obama has not gotten 4,275 Americans KIA'd needlessly in a botched, deceitful clusterf&ck. He has not gotten 30,000+ GIs wounded, many gravely. He has not spit on the US Constitution via over 800(!!!) signing statements and secret memos allowing torture, etc. And he has not taken the enormous good will of the American people and the world, for that matter, and flushed it down the toilet.
In their first 100 days, this administration has already overturned numerous boneheaded neo-con "rules" regarding the Endangered Species Act, stem cell research, limiting public access to presidential records (you know Cheney is just seething over that one), the Bush administration's ban on project labor agreements, ending torture and closing secret CIA prisons overseas, and the list goes on and on.
A mixed bag so far? You betcha!
And I am still very, very leery of BHO as CIC.
But BushCo's record was NOT mixed. It was consistently inept, deadly, short sighted and worse, in many (most?) American's minds, immoral.
Other than that, I guess you have a point…

md, If you can't understand the focus of my argument, let me spell it out in simpler terms:
A terrorist threat is not something to be scared about, we have a gazillion times greater chance of dying in a car wreck. In fact, I'm sure there is a much higher chance we might die in a plane crash than in a terrorist attack.
You're trying to make a political argument. I am trying to make a different kind of argument. Can you not understand that? One is about politics and blame and one is about liklihood of dying from a terrorist attack. Does that help you wrap your head around this?
Sure my argument isn't apples to apples, I suppose I could cite some car-related deaths. But I think most of the readers here get what point I was trying to make.

Then again, there are a lot of things done that just are not too bright. For instance, flushing your 'toilet' into your drinking water.
…Smithfield, which is led by pork baron Joseph W Luter III, has previously been fined for environmental damage in the US. In October 2000 the supreme court upheld a $12.6m (£8.6m) fine levied by the US environmental protection agency which found that the company had violated its pollution permits in the Pagan River in Virginia which runs towards Chesapeake Bay. The company faced accusations that faecal and other bodily waste from slaughtered pigs had been dumped directly into the river since the 1970s …
I am so glad to be finally getting people back in the government that actually care about the health, safety, and welfare of we the people. A concept that completely escapes the GOPers.

I seem to recall Wild Bull making the decision to once again post something that I'm sure he considers to be of value. So, all I did was try to follow, and it was a struggle, his line of 'thought' and identify some shred of true worth in his post. The association between Reagan and the chimpanzee was the best that I could come up with. Have fun with that.

9:13 am
Taxpayer at 9:01,
I second that. In order to have safe drinking water and safe food supplies you have to have inspectors and a system set up for inspection and all of that costs money which comes from taxpaying Americans.
Of course, the Republicans were willing to make cuts in those areas and that was just fine because they don't like paying their taxes. "Hey, we can drink bottled water. chortle, snort, chortle>/i>"

More on the proper steps taken…..From the NYT
"A senior administration official said that an F.A.A. official notified Mayor Bloomberg's office last week about the flyover. She said that Marc Mugnos, the director of operations in the office of citywide event coordination and management, was the official notified about the Air Force operation.""
""The mayor said the Police Department and someone in his administration – he did not say who – received an e-mail from the Federal Aviation Administration late on Thursday, informing them that there would be "a fly-by for a photo-op, as they described it.""
Jim Peters, an F.A.A. spokesman, said "the photo op was approved and coordinated with everyone." Notification was made in advance to the mayor's office, "including its 911 and 311 operation centers," the New York City Police Department, the New Jersey State Police, the United States Park Police and other agencies, he said.
The Police Department confirmed that it had been notified about the event but said it had been barred from alerting the public. "The flight of a VC-25 aircraft and F-16 fighters this morning was authorized by the F.A.A. for the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it but to direct any inquiries to the F.A.A. Air Traffic Security Coordinator," the Police Department said in a statement""

People do seem to be scared of the strangest things. The odds of getting struck by lightning are 1 in 280,000 and the odds of getting killed in a terrorist attack are about 1 in 9,000,000. Then again, the odds of winning the Georgia MegaMillion jackpot are 1 : 175,711,536 and people just blindly dump their entire paychecks into those games. I think that pretty much sums up people's understanding of probability.

How much of a carbon footprint did this photo op leave? It was done so close to earth day. Forget the fear of a terrorist attack, what about the whole global warming(or is it now climate change?)fear? How many polar bear deaths is this photo op going to cause?
April 28th, 2009

I hear running planes around just to use for publicity is good for the enviroment.
Is there not one person that thinks it sets a bad precident to emite the mass amount of carbon that those planes give off.
Where was AL Gore?
Guess there was no money to be made by him, so he was not there to have anything to say.
Funny how I have not seen any of the normal global warming people speaking about the impact this had on the enviroment.
Wonder why they didn't care this time?

"Its been a long time since I've heard a white house official say "my bad"." I think President Ob-amateur apologized, once more, for another screw up last week or was it the week before.

Mrs. Godzilla
So the White House office took the proper steps in notifying state and local authorities? And the mayor sounds like he wasn't read in? Kinda sounds like Katrina all over again – local authorities are innocents, devoid of any responsibility, while all blame goes to the White House. Nothing changes.
DB, Gwinnettian
I read they wanted updated pics of AF One with the Stature of Liberty. According to the mayor's criteria (why would they do this near Ground Zero?) all of Manhattan, heck all NYC should be off limits for photo ops of this kind. Wonder what he'd say if they purged any publicity photos that have NYC in them? Yowza!
And it appears the good mayor isn't up on who's who. The White House Military Office is not under DoD – it falls under…the Executive. The White House. I had to check that when I saw a headline along the lines of "White House Causes Terror Scare in NYC." But that's accurate. Even if the request came from DoD, it's still the White House Office who's responsible.
But I give the guy in charge credit for saying "My responsibility." But the local guys are the ones doing the "what, me? Not me!" routine.
Mrs. Godzilla
Thanks for your 9:13 followup. Again, sounds like the locals blew it.
And are perfectly happy to let the White House take the heat.
Aren't these people all in the same Party? With friends like that…

[[CEO's are and should be held to a higher standard.]]
While companies handle this differently, what we saw in the meltdown is just how corrupt, self serving and detached many boards and CEOs of large companies are. Merrill Lynch goes under and the director gets rewarded with tens of millions. Even now, the poster boy – the guy who runs GE – took over from Welch, in great shape, over the years the stock has plunged. And he's still CEO and getting tens of millions a year. Higher standard? Hardly. Then again, the White House appointed the guy as an economic advisor. The only way I feel good about that is if all his reports get filed under "What not to do."
You're not suggesting that the same things the Left criticized the Bush Administration for are fair game for criticizing the Obama Administration for, are you?

ty, when did the GOP "leadership" completely cede it's role in properly protecting our environment and our finite natural resources? And why?
Teddy Roosevelt created our first national parks and was a huge proponent of good stewardship and respect for the natural world. And even as late as Richard Nixon, who signed the Clean Air Act and created the Environmental Protection Agency, our history shows that reasoned and reasonable environmental protection wasn't always the province of non-Republicans.
The USA pumps into the dumping ground called our atmosphere, 12,000,000,000 pounds of poisons every single year.
And the enviro-rapers laugh all the way to the bank while in some cases, denying the very science that their own scientists provided.
This is no real surprise, given that the corporate destruction of capitalism knows no bounds.
But I must confess, that to apologize for these people is hard to understand…

Mr. McCarthy explained it this way to me: "When Senate Democrats didn't have the votes, they voted to make waterboarding illegal. Now they have the votes, but there's no effort to ban waterboarding. And the reason is that they are more interested in setting off a partisan witch hunt than passing a principled ban on something they say is torture."-Wall Street Journal

You can call me a flat-earther if would like, but I don't buy into the whole man made global warming hysteria. I do believe we need clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. I am all for the EPA making sure that corporations are held responsible for keeping the environment clean. I just think the whole "global warming" angle was created to make some money. I guess this makes Al Gore a capitalist(sorry for the slur, lefties)

A question for those that compare the chance of death by tobacco or car accidents to being killed by a terrorist attack, and think the people of New York overreacted. When was the last time someone died in a fire in a movie theater? Why is it a crime to yell 'fire' in a theater?
Flying a commercial airplane low over New York City is no different that yelling fire in a theater. Someone in Washington should be charged with inciting panic.
April 28th, 2009

One last item, before I'm off, ty.
You talk about global warming as a ruse for "making money" as though the hyper-polluting corporatists denying it is not, is not the very epitome of not doing such???
I guess I'm still trying to figure out the "money making" role of the dozens and dozens of organization like National Geographic, whose long-term track record in such matters is impeccable…

Is this all republican's have to whine about? Seems to me most of the whinning here is from dems. Conseratives are whinning about out of control reckless spending. I personally don't think the fly by is a big deal, but it concerns me that we have borrowed 361 billion dollars in the current quarter alone, and in july we will have to borrow over 500 billion additional dollars. This is more than the US has ever borrowed in one year and we need it in one month.
This whole faux outrage is just a media ploy to take everyone's mind off the real issues. Those issues which may may raise questions about the big O.

The point is that Obama is the ultimate CEO. He should absolutely be held to the highest standard of them all.
Problems within the ranks of present CEO's – you bet. That is not an excuse for the premo CEO.
How does one fire Rick Wagoner for making mistakes (arguably) and not get fired for consistently making mistakes as well??
The problem as I see it, too many here give todays politicians a pass on ineptness. All politicians. Society as a whole has degraded itself and allowed lower standards. The era of personal accountability and responsibility has passed. Too bad for us.

Come on – it's been 100 days and you are calling for Obama's impeachment based on your opinion that he's made mistakes – obvious partisan hyperbole. Be real. If we impeached our POTUS every time some partisan hack said he made a mistake – we'd never have a POTUS.

The problem with your assumption is the partisan part. Unlike yourself, I hold all politicians equally accountable. Bush, Obama, it makes no difference.
Try it sometime. It may allow you to see beyond the "left" "right" fiasco that is the USA.
Bosch, Too many here pick "sides" and defend at all costs. Mistakes are mistakes. And maybe, just maybe, if these POTUS's were actually held accountable and not given passes by their parties and constituients, we would get a better quality leader.
Unfortunately, the smart ones want nothing to do with politics. How sad for us.
April 28th, 2009
10:59 am
Unlike myself? Nope, not even close. I try it much more than you do, trust me.
Your opinion that Obama has made mistakes and needs to be fired after 100 days are partisan – please don't feed us that line of crap.
People calling for Bush's impeachment had legitimate concerns based on thing he'd actually done – complaints about Obama is nothing more than Limbaugh talking points – nothing based in reality.

Tray: You are a liar–unlike the dimwits who follow faux noise word for word I did my research–the lady is just worried that the republican who allowed her to stay in the home will soon sell thus leaving her homeless.
Yes, that was insensitive especially when you have lived thru the 9/11 nightmare that Dick the Bush administration did not keep us safe from–next time it should be a News Flash before they actually fly over NYC.
I say impeach the Republicans.
April 28th, 2009

Thanks Mrs. G for the 9:13. SoundBiteCity (the MSM) by and large left the impression that the flyby happened spontaneously and to everyone's surprise.
The money quote: "…with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it but to direct any inquiries to the F.A.A. Air Traffic Security Coordinator…"
I'd like a name attached to that one, please.
All that said, the NYC skyline and Miss Liberty are awesome touchstones for Americans and the rest of the world. It'll make one helluva print.

Bosch, you're so blind to Obama's 'mistakes', it's not even funny…based on Rush's talking points..??? I don't need Rush to figure out there's an idiot in charge, i can see it plain as day.
GLOBAL WARMING IS A DARN MYTH!! Made up by government for more government control! Ask Al Gore why he won't debate any scientists head to head about 'warming'. It
s a dman cycle you morons. I can't wait, about 15 years from now (and I'll be alive then to rub it in your face), the left will be screaming GLOBAL COOLING, because that's when the next cycle will be full swing.
In case you don't know, the earth has cooled 2 degress over the last 4 years (could be 5). All of you believe in something completely intangible, and if the left EVER did research on anything, instead of playing who said what, they would see.

The blind following of the left to this clown's programs and plans for this country astound me. There have been some pretty prominent narcissists in our past who look upon themselves as a bit better than the average voter…. a sense of self importance where humility doesn't have a chance. He's just a mere mortal, liberals, although he envisions himself as a savior. Surrounding yourself with a bunch of yes men and women to stroke your own ego is demonic. Someone to blame for all of our ills…..Bush should fit the bill. Look upon disagreement as a personal affront. A sense of entitlement should be thrown into the mix…. " I deserve all of this attention and all of these people who bow down are my children and I know what's best for them and for the country". Anyone who disagrees is the enemy…. how dare you criticize me for wanting to save this great country!! If that's not enough, severe criticism will be viewed as an attack on me and my race…. be careful.
Be careful who you blindly follow, liberals….. it has a way of biting you in the a** when you least expect it.

What do you expect from people who can't even get casualty figures correct, such as Ambling Veterinarian and Susan Myers.
They more than DOUBLE the wounded numbers every time they post about the Iraq invasion, even though the Pentagon (and yes, that's the Pentagon under Hope & Change) says the wounded count is less than half the figures thrown out by those two yahoos.
And great – the WH did notify all those NY agencies, but specifically BANNED that information from becoming public. It is NOT the officials that had a problem with it. It is the residents and workers who have already lived through an attack. I can see the reason for not announcing this for security purposes, but the photo-op fly-by was a waste of money, fuel and a generally bad idea in it's location.
At least Caldera was taken to the woodshed for this stunt – allegedly.
April 28th, 2009

Tray, sorry, your "data" on "cooling" is incorrect.
The facts cannot be politicized, as you Republican zealots fervently wish.
Fact – all eight of the hottest years for global temperature have been since 1998, and 14 of the hottest years have been since 1990.
Fact – the Arctic and Siberia had the greatest temperature increase, between 3 and 4 degrees Celsius. This heating was responsible for, or a direct result of, the smallest Arctic ice cap since records have been kept.
s a dman cycle you morons."
Alas, there is just one teensy weensy little problem with this idiotic "theory".
These "cycles" as you call them, take centuries and millenia to manifest themselves. Not twenty-five or thirty years.
But it matters not. Truly. Seriously. Absolutely.
You ostriches have been overtly ostracized. Because of loony theories such as sunspots, wobbles int he earth's orbit and cow farts. i.e. a complete, utter and total lack of a real alternative explanation that is superior. (This is science remember? It doesn't care if you're a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent or a Bible thumper).
And irrefutable, the flat-earthers without King George in a science-free White House have no real say going forward now. The brightest minds on the planet agree and the deniers will have to be content to sit on the sidelines and hurl feces.
Don't shoot the messenger…

One thing I thought was interesting when people want to talk about when discussing the merits of this fly-by photo-op or the smarts behind is that the person who directed is someone who also worked in the Bush White House!

Liberal idiot, still it was the left that coined the teabagging phase, or was it some gay in a downtown bar?

no one died? No one died in Guantanamo, but I bet for a lot of New Yorkers it was torture! I love it when people put links to the huffingtonPuss, that is like saying the sky is green because I saw a picture of it. What does some pissed off rich b!tch have to say today… RLOL

Topic - UKClimbing: new look, new competition..
Charles Arthur, UKC Editor on 26 Jan 2003
If you've ever visited UKClimbing before, you'll notice that this is a new look. After a lot of thought and observation of where people actually go and how they use the site, we've reorganised it into more logical (at least, as you all use them) categories. You can see them in the navigation bar above.

And to celebrate, we've started a new competition: write about your best climbing experience in 500 words or less and you could win a Berghaus jacket, a rope of your choice, a Rockfax guide, or a Rockfax miniguide subscription.
Read all about it at the competition page.
And tell us what you think of the new look....

Caroline Rush backs high street LFW shows
British Fashion Council chief executive Caroline Rush believes it is ''great'' high street retailers have started showing at London Fashion Week because it makes British style accessible to all.
Caroline Rush thinks it is ''great'' high street retailers have begun showing at London Fashion Week.
The British Fashion Council chief executive believes having lower-priced retailers such as Topshop, River Island - who unveiled their collaboration with Rihanna at their show on Saturday (16.02.13) - and Whistles, exhibit alongside high-end designers makes British style more accessible to people would would otherwise feel excluded by the high price tags.
She said: ''It's an opportunity for the general public to access fashion and trends that all start here at LFW, so it's no bad thing at all - [high street brands] are all building international businesses too, so it makes sense to show here when they've got the world's attention and international retailers and department stores in town.
''There's a really positive feeling not only in terms of the designer-end of the spectrum but also the high street. It's a great way to communicate British style to an audience that maybe can't afford designer fashion. It's fun.''
And Caroline also thinks having famous faces such as Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel attending the shows can only be good for the industry.
She added to Vogue.co.uk: ''It drives media coverage which in turn drives sales.
''It's a good way for the public to identify with the brand and understand who their supporters are. It may well be that they aren't already a follower and a supporter of the designer, but then a celebrity will bring them to discover that designer. We've got great talent here and that's what makes it so exciting.''

Two people injured in SPID accident Monday
CORPUS CHRISTI - A woman and a man were taken to the hospital after a Monday morning accident on South Padre Island Drive.
The 21-year-old woman was the driver of a car that struck the back of the pickup truck westbound on SPID near the Staples Street off ramp, police said. The accident, which happened just before 8:45 a.m., closed two lanes of the highway for about 30 minutes. Police were still investigating the accident at 9:30 a.m. and had not issued a citation.
The woman was complaining of chest pain, while the 56-year-old man had back pain. Both injuries were non life-threatening.

Dalek-Shaped Spoilers for Series 7!
As we near closer and closer to the beginning of Doctor Who series 7 and the beginning of what will surely be one of the show's most epic and ambitious bunch of episodes yet, more and more spoilers are leaking out into the big wide world for you to sink your teeth into…if you want to.
For those of you who suffer from a severe allergic reaction to spoilers, you might want to look away now, or remove this article from your window or put your hands over your eyes as you're about to read some mild, but not disastrous, spoilers.
[spoiler style="2"]
According to sources (although nothing has been 100% confirmed as yet) the pre titles sequence for the Dalek opening story will be a whizz of excitement with both Rory and Amy kidnapped by Dalek agents. Amy will be taken by a mysterious character named Cassandra (played by Naomi Ryan) as she models for a photo-shoot, which seems to be her full time job now. Rory, who is apparently on his way to file for divorce, is taken by an agent posing as a London bus driver.
Both Dalek lackeys appear human but then transform into something very different before they take their respective Ponds, cue the screeching title music and the beginning of one of the biggest Dalek stories to have ever graced our screens!
Sound exciting doesn't it? And that's only the first few minutes of the episode, imagine the rest! However, these things are always subject to change and since there has been no official confirmation from the BBC as yet about the episode, don't take this as gospel just yet…
5 Responses to Dalek-Shaped Spoilers for Series 7!
Cassandra's returning? Seriously? Unless it's a different Cassandra.
Must be a different Cassandra.
I would class that slightly higher than a 'mild' spoiler. Not complaining or anything.

Wives Who Sue Mistresses: Is This OK?
NBA star Dwyane Wade's estranged wife is suing his girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union, and claims that their relationship is causing their two sons emotional distress.
The lawsuit alleges that Union engaged in sexual foreplay in front of the boys, which "severely inflicted the Plaintiffs emotionally and mentally."
"Defendant has played sexually explicit roles, including roles as a seductress," the lawsuit reads. "Defendant has apparently decided to take her role beyond the films and into the home of a married man, Dwyane Wade, in the presence of his two minor children."
Siohvaughn Wade is seeking $50,000 in damages.
But she's not the only one who wants to take her hubby's mistress to court: David Boreanaz's wife is reportedly considering filing a lawsuit against his ex-mistress, too. Boreanaz confessed to the affair on May 3rd, and says that the ex-mistress is trying to extort money from him. RadarOnline has reported that Boreanaz's wife is already considering taking the mistress to court.
The queen of all mistress-suers, Cynthia Shackelford, sued her husband's mistress, Anne Lundquist, for ruining her marriage, claiming alienation of affection and intentionally or recklessly causing severe emotional distress. She was awarded nine million dollars. Yes, NINE MILLION.
Attorney Robin Sax says, "These types of suits are called 'alienation of affection.' While [most] laws have abolished them, seven [states] still have the law on the books: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah. Supporters of the laws say the threat of such legal action helps protect the sanctity of marriage. But in reality, they do not protect the sanctity of marriage -- and don't help the odds of amicable divorce. These cases result in already-contentious divorces getting even more heated. Then add the public airing of the dirty laundry -- the personal shortcomings and wild tales of infidelity. That does little to benefit anyone -- especially the kids who have to live through it."
Psychologist Wendy Walsh doesn't think that suing the mistress is a good idea, either. She says, "When women sue and attack other women -- no matter the transgression -- we are living out a damaging double standard. Before the sexual revolution, the double standard said that men gained points for sexual experience and women lost points (and their reputations) for their own sexual behavior.
"In the new post-feminist world, where everyone seems to fairly own their own orgasm, the new double standard implies that men cannot help themselves for their bad behavior and women can -- and should -- stop men," she continues. "While I think that many, many women have taken sexual equality a bit too far and are acting EXACTLY like the worst form of promiscuous man, I also think that men should be forced to act a little more like ladies and show some restraint. A mistress is never the cause of a divorce. She is but a symptom of the problem. And the problems include a lack of relationship skills within marriages, a lack of intellectual commitment to monogamy and a sexualized media that glorifies infidelity."
Not everyone agrees. Most moms we spoke with said that if someone went after their man and threatened their family, they'd sue them without a second thought. What about you?
Great read! However, I had difficulty viewing this article in Safari 5. Just wanted to bring that to your attention! Best regards.
Just killing some time on Stumbleupon and I found your article . Not normally what I prefer to learn about, but it was definitely worth my time. Thanks.
Wrong. Just because a man OR woman decides to cheat, does NOT mean there are problems in a marriage. In fact, that only shows a problem within the cheater. MANY cheaters are with GOOD, FAITHFUL partners, however they have a form of self-destruction going on. When it comes to being able to sue, I say YES! Why not encourage more consequences for cheaters? However, I do also feel that the GREATER blame falls on the partner. I am sad that there aren't harsher punishments for adultery, - it almost seems as if it isn't a real crime, which is why so many who are hurt by being cheated on are seemingly forced to "take matters into their own emotional hands" to find justice and closure. Shame.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead.
Fine reading. Thank you, looking forward to your feed updates…
Pay no attention to what the critics say… Remember, a statue has never been set up in honor of a critic!

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth—anonymously and posthumously.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
Awsome website! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am taking your feeds also
Can I simply say what a reduction to search out someone who really is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know how you can carry a problem to light and make it important. Extra people have to learn this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant believe youre no more widespread because you undoubtedly have the gift.
Well I sincerely liked studying it. This information procured by you is very helpful for proper planning.
