A mother is quick to defend her 14-year-old son who is found naked and asleep in a young woman's bed. However, Detectives Benson and Stabler try to figure out what truly happened.
Plot Edit
A naked teenage boy found asleep in a woman's bed puts Detectives Benson and Stabler on the hunt for what turns out to be a possessive mother who has a "reasonable" excuse for his every misbehavior. As they attempt to ferret the truth out of the manipulative teenager, a bigger truth may await them.
Summary Edit
A couple on a first date stand at the doorway of the woman, Annie's, apartment. Things seem to be going well until the man, David, reveals that he's a Republican and then insults Annie for being a Democrat. The date is over. David asks if he can use Annie's bathroom before he leaves. He heads down the hallway and opens the wrong door, then asks Annie how old her kid is.
Annie has no idea what David is talking about and joins him at her bedroom door. She sees Hunter Mazelon, age fourteen, curled up on her bed, naked and asleep. Annie is terrified.
Munch brings a handcuffed Hunter into the squad room. Hunter is a smart-ass and claims he had his first drink last night and learned his lesson. Once Stabler hears that Hunter is fourteen, he tells Hunter that they can't talk to him without a parent present. Munch shares that Hunter's mother let him spend the night in jail.
Annie enters the squad room with a backpack. She announces that Hunter was trying to rape her and shows the detectives the backpack she found in her closet with an empty bottle of whiskey. Stabler asks Munch to escort Annie out.
Benson examines the contents of Hunter's backpack, which include schoolbooks, duct tape and pantyhose. Stabler finds a butterfly knife and asks Hunter why he has it. Hunter smirks and declares that "it's cool."
Stabler brings a still-handcuffed Hunter into a windowless office, telling Hunter that he'll have to wait there, in the "child-appropriate room," until his mom shows up. Hunter gives Stabler a hard time, claiming that he's claustrophobic. Stabler steers Hunter to a bar bolted to the wall and tells him to stand still while he uncuffs one hand. Hunter makes a joke about a cavity search, then when Stabler is standing behind him, Hunter yells for help because Stabler is "touching his junk." That brings uniformed cop Nelson into the room through an open door. Stabler assures Nelson that Hunter is just being a wise-ass.
Nelson asks Hunter if he wants him to send someone in. Hunter declines and Nelson leaves. Stabler comments that Hunter is already in enough trouble without adding a false allegation to his charges. Hunter laughs it off, saying he was just making a joke.
Hunter's mother, Bree, barrels into the squad room looking for Hunter. She confronts Cragen, asking why Hunter is in the sex crimes division. Cragen explains that there's been a new development. When he tells Bree that Hunter isn't the victim, she becomes indignant. Cragen wonders why Bree wasn't concerned about Hunter's whereabouts the prior night. Bree explains that Hunter was spending the night at his friend Jake's so they could work on their science project.
Munch and Fin pay a visit to Hunter's science partner, Jake, who lives next door to Annie. They ask if Jake and Hunter were partners in more than science. Jakes insists that they weren't and says that Hunter showed up high and bailed early. Jake remembers that Annie was leaving her apartment when Hunter arrived at Jake's the prior night and Hunter made dirty gestures while she was walking away.
Jake shares that Hunter has displayed a violent streak in his cruelty to the frog they used for their project. Munch comments that animal cruelty is an indicator on the triad of sociopathy.
Benson leads Bree into an interrogation room. She asks Bree if Hunter is sexually active. Bree scoffs at the suggestion, commenting that Hunter is a baby. Stabler brings Hunter into the room. Hunter is hostile and rude to Bree, who slaps him. Hunter assures the detectives that Bree's abuse is normally limited to verbal assaults. Benson tries to move things along. She asks Bree to initial a Miranda form as she reads Hunter's rights.
Bree declares that she's taking Hunter home to deal with this herself and tries to walk out with him. Ben son stops her, explaining that while Bree is free to go, Hunter isn't because he's been arrested. Bree says she's calling an attorney. Stabler comments that the attorney can meet them at the arraignment.
Cragen, Munch and Fin meet with ADA Sherri West in her office. West explains that she can't charge Hunter with a sex crime because she can't present a "thought crime" to a jury. Cragen suggests that West charge Hunter with the crimes they have on him and make enrollment in a sex offender treatment program a condition of any plea. West argues that Hunter is fourteen and it's his first offense.
Munch responds that it's not, as Hunter grabbed a teacher's breasts two months ago, but his mother made the incident go away. West comments that she won't even be the one trying the case because Hunter is a minor. Cragen points out that Hunter can be charged as an adult for first-degree burglary with a deadly weapon.
Judge Ridenour presides over Hunter's arraignment. Hunter's attorney argues for the case to be moved to Family Court. West asks the judge to detain Hunter at a juvenile facility instead of setting bail. Judge Ridenour sets bail, so West asks for an order of protection barring Hunter from having any contact with Annie, which he grants. Hunter is furious and says that he's the one who needs a protection order, claiming that he was molested by Stabler.
In the squad room, Benson learns about Hunter's accusation of Stabler. She finds Stabler in the kitchen and tells him about it. Benson warns Stabler not to do anything stupid. Stabler tells her about the incident with Hunter in the windowless office. He explains that he didn't write it up because Hunter played it off as a joke and Stabler forgot about it. Benson reassures Stabler that this will work itself out and tells him not to confront the kid.
Stabler says that he won't. He's going to set this right with Internal Affairs (IAB) before they make it public.
As Stabler heads to IAB, he runs into Bree and Hunter leaving. Stabler and Hunter verbally spar until IAB Lt. Ed Tucker interrupts them. He orders Stabler to his office. Tucker advises Stabler that he's entitled to have a lawyer present, which Stabler declines. Stabler tells Tucker that Hunter set him up and is retaliating. Tucker gives Stabler a hard time, commenting on the number of times Stabler has had run-ins with IAB.
Tucker asks Stabler about the details of the incident in the windowless office. Stabler is frustrated and reminds Tucker that the door was open. Tucker comments that he knows, as that's why they have a witness.
Benson stops Officer Nelson to ask him what he told IAB. Nelson says that he told them the truth. Benson says that he must've explained that Stabler was being set up. Nelson uncomfortably reveals that all he could do was tell Tucker what he heard and saw. Nelson saw Stabler backing up off Hunter when he heard Nelson, but Nelson didn't see Stabler's hands or him uncuffing Hunter. Benson is incredulous that Nelson let Hunter play him. Nelson walks away.
Cragen warns Benson and Stabler not to harass Officer Nelson. He tells Stabler not to get near Hunter because the defense would have a field day with any new dirt Stabler found on him. Benson points out that they would claim Stabler planted evidence as revenge. Cragen tells Benson to inform Munch and Fin that everything they're doing has to be beyond scrutiny. Cragen comments that Hunter is smart, so they have to be smarter.
Hunter's lawyer, Kressler, meets with West. He offers to drop Hunter's molestation claim if West drops the case against Hunter. West declines. Kressler asks if West will at least consider pleading Hunter out. He points out that West will have a hard time getting a jury to convict with no victim, since Hunter never actually touched Annie. West comments that she doesn't want to let a "future Ted Bundy" skate. Kessler offers that if they work out a deal, at least they can stipulate that Hunter get help.
Benson calls Stabler at home. His wife, Kathy, answers. Kathy reports to Stabler that he's off the hook on the trumped-up molestation charge that Stabler never bother to tell Kathy about. Kathy tells him that West let Hunter plead out.
At allocution, Judge Emery insists that Hunter take full responsibility for his actions, or she can't accept his plea. Stabler interrupts and tries to get West to request a recess. Bree announces that they have a restraining order against Stabler, and he's not supposed to be within 500 feet of Hunter. Judge Emery orders Stabler out of the courtroom. She returns her attention to Hunter, who continues to make excuses for his actions.
Over drinks, Fin points out to Stabler that West cut the deal to cover his ass. West interrupts, tells Stabler that she didn't make the deal for him. West explains that she got a three-year suspended sentence for which any violation will result in mandatory detention, and Hunter will have to enroll in alcohol treatment classes and a sex offender program. Fin gets a call. He tells Stabler that Munch caught a case, but Stabler should stay away.
Despite Munch's warning, Stabler goes with Fin to Munch's crime scene. A woman has been raped and murdered. Munch reports that a wino saw her killer and said he was dressed in black, reeked of whiskey and was wearing pantyhose over his face. The wino also said the suspect looked like a kid and matched Hunter's physical description. Stabler is convinced it was Hunter.
Stabler and Sawicki, Hunter's probation officer, go to Hunter's apartment. They inform Bree that it's a surprise visit to confirm that Hunter is in compliance with his seven o'clock curfew. Bree assures them that Hunter is in his room and has been there all night. She knocks on Hunter's door, but he doesn't respond. Stabler hears a noise from the other room and goes to investigate.
Stabler finds Hunter in the kitchen with his back to Stabler, standing at a drawer. Hunter turns, holding a steak knife. Stabler orders him to put the knife down. Instead, Hunter approaches him with the knife. Bree and Sawicki enter the kitchen as Stabler disarms Hunter. Sawicki asks where Hunter has been. He claims that he was just out getting some air on his roof.
Stabler and Sawicki go to check Hunter's room. Stabler notices that the clothes Hunter is wearing don't fit him. Bree covers for Hunter. Stabler reminds Hunter that sobriety is a condition of his probation. Sawicki requires Hunter to blow into a breathalyzer. The device registers a .09, which indicates that Hunter has been drinking, thus violating his probation. Stabler tells Sawicki to arrest Hunter. Bree panics and begs Sawicki not to take Hunter.
The next day, Fin asks Cragen why Probation didn't haul Hunter in the previous night. Cragen explains that Probation has a higher standard than parole, and they can't make a summary arrest without a hearing. Munch catches up with them and shares that he can't find a connection between Hunter and the rape/murder victim. Cragen thinks it was a crime of opportunity.
Fin and Munch stop by the morgue to talk to Medical Examiner Birch. Birch has finished the autopsy on the rape/murder victim. She choked to death on her own blood after her attacker slit her throat from behind. Her attacker didn't wear a condom, so he left DNA. Fin and Munch have to find a way to get a sample of Hunter's DNA.
Fin and Munch visit Annie at her apartment. She's already thrown away the nightgown that Hunter was clutching against him when she found him in her bed. They use luminol to check the closet where Hunter was hiding and find DNA samples aplenty.Stabler stands out of view as Hunter leaves his school.
Stabler sees Hunter follow a girl into a church, so he goes after him. In the church basement, Stabler grabs Hunter and reminds him that he's supposed to go straight home after school. Hunter tells Stabler that he's following court orders. He opens a door to a teen AA meeting.
Cragen reprimands Stabler for not staying away from Hunter. Fin interrupts them to point out that Birch has arrived. Birch reports that he ran the DNA from the rape/murder victim through CODIS and got a hit on five unsolved rapes in Oregon. Birch further shares that the DNA from the closet is a definite match to the others. Stabler is stunned that Hunter is a fourteen-year-old serial rapist.
Munch and Fin arrest Hunter at his school. They inform him that the law is the same in Oregon, not that he'll be going there any time soon. Hunter comments that he hates Oregon and that his father fought so hard for summer custody only to ignore him.
Benson and Stabler lose patience with Bree's blind defense of Hunter. They show her photos of Hunter's Oregon rape victims. Cragen shows Bree a composite that the Portland PD put together. It resembles Hunter, but Bree refuses to acknowledge that it looks anything like him. Benson comments that Hunter thought it did because he started wearing pantyhose over his face after that. Stabler tells Bree that Hunter's sperm was found inside the women.
Benson shares that twenty percent of all sexual assaults are committed by teenagers, but their victims are usually kids of the same age or younger. Stabler wonders why Hunter is fixated on older women. He suggests that maybe someone Bree's age molested him. Bree is incensed and denies the implication that she molested her son, offering to take a polygraph. She demands to see Hunter.
Fin calls the precinct to report Hunter was injured jumping out of the police car he was being transported in. Munch reprimands the officers for rolling down the window for such a con artist. Fin insists on accompanying Hunter, who has been fitted with a neck brace, in the ambulance to the hospital. Fin tells the others to meet him at Bellevue. At the hospital, Munch reports to Cragen that Hunter didn't break any bones. They run into Fin in the hallway.
Cragen reminds Fin he was instructed not to let Hunter out of his sight. Fin explains that Hunter is getting an MRI and he couldn't stay in the room with his gun because it's metal. Cragen realizes that Hunter must be uncuffed. He rushes into the MRI room and finds the unconscious tech lying in the MRI machine. Hunter is nowhere to be found. Fin notices an air duct covering askew.
Stabler and Fin visit Bree to find Hunter. The phone rings and they tell Bree to pick up but to keep quiet about the fact that the police are there so that they can trace the call. Bree answers and Hunter is on the line. Bree notices Hunter is slurring his speech and he admits that he's been drinking.
Bree begs Hunter to come home so she can take care of him. Hunter says Bree hasn't taken such good care of him and that she should've "done something," and now Hunter has to do it himself. Before Hunter hangs up, he says goodbye to the cops, telling them he's going to do their job for them. Bree doesn't know what he's talking about. Fin gets a location on the call.
Using the phone's GPS, Munch and Fin locate the cell phone Hunter used. They find it in the possession of a homeless man. He confirms he loaned his phone to Hunter to make one call in exchange for alcohol. Benson and Stabler report to Cragen that they've had no luck finding Hunter, and he plans to do something drastic, possibly suicidal. Bree interrupts saying that his dark behavior wasn't his fault; it was all hers. She tells them that they were right, and Hunter was molested. Bree explains that ever since Hunter was seven, she knew something was going on with him and got him to talk to her. She knows she should have pressed charges against her, but she didn't want anyone to know. Cragen ask Bree who molested her son, if it was one of his family member or his father. Bree reveals the person who molested him was the woman who babysat him, and she cannot describe what Hunter went through. Bree never sought counseling for Hunter because she wanted him to forget about it and be normal again. This obviously failed, because his experience still haunts him, turning his behavior into that of a psychopath. Stabler wonders if Hunter would know how to find the babysitter. Bree says Hunter used to spend time at her apartment, but that was seven years ago. Her name is Ellen Huffiner.
Benson and Stabler go to the babysitter's apartment. They find the babysitter dead on the living room floor and Hunter lying next to her, covered in blood. They think he's dead at first, then Hunter rolls over. Hunter says that he's not hurt, just hungover, and the blood is all Ellen's.
Hunter says it wasn't him who hurt the other women, and he doesn't know why he kept doing those things. He also thought that if he confronted Ellen and made her tell him why she molested him, his personal torture would end. She never gave him a reason. Hunter says he's made sure that the Ellen will never do those things to anyone else. And neither will he, says Hunter. He tells Benson and Stabler that he thinks he's going to be all right now.
It is believed that Hunter is full of hatred and rage against the world after what Ellen, who was supposed to protect him, molested him. He was physically, mentally, and emotionally traumatized by this abuse, which manifested his behavior into that of a manipulative psychopath bent on getting revenge by targeting older women close to Ellen's age, making them suffer the same way he did. in the final scene, his real intention is by getting revenge on Ellen and made her talk of why she molested him, maybe it will bring his suffering and his psychotic-behavior to an end. Since, she wouldn't tell him, he violently kills her hoping that it will bring his ordeal to an end forever and makes sure that no one will have to go through the same vengeful behavior like he did.

Chapter 12: The Future and the Present
Sentinel Facility – Main Hub
Pierce was poised to finish what the Hellfire Club failed to do twice. His army of mini-sentinels had their sights locked on the X-men and Magneto. They were powerless and drained due to his enhanced power dampening machine. Even they couldn't escape this time. He left absolutely nothing to chance.
"It's over, X-men. You lose," he taunted.
"Go to Hell, Pierce!" spat Rogue.
"You first," grinned Pierce, "And please give my regards to Selene and Shaw."
He was about to give the order. Cable turned to Scott, whose plan would have to come through now. Surrounded and outnumbered, he nodded to give the signal.
"You can tell them yourself," grunted Cable, "NOW!"
Pierce looked at him strangely. Then suddenly, a small bat flew out from the rafters above him and went straight for him. It let out a deafening screech, which drew the attention of the mini-sentinels and Pierce for that matter. And before he could react, the bat shifted into Mystique's full form and she attacked with a flying kick to the chest.
"Hrrrraaaaahhhhh!" she yelled as her foot made contact with the cybernetic man.
"Augh!" he grunted, dropping the small controller in the process.
Mystique quickly picked it up and hit the red button in the center, causing the power dampening device to deactivate.
"No!" exclaimed Pierce, "You bitch!"
"You don't know the half of it," grinned Mystique, feeling a new rush now that she got to play the hero for once.
With the device off, the X-men and Mutant Liberation Front felt their powers and energy return to them. It took a moment to shake off the fatigue, but they were back.
"Ugh, my head," groaned Bobby.
"Shake it off, Iceman!" said Logan, drawing his claws, "You can rest after we send these things to the scrap heap!"
"Guess that means we won't be needing this," said August
August then waved her hand and an image of Mystique that had been with them since they entered the area faded. It was then Pierce realized what they had done. That girl must have been a mystic and cast a spell that created a fake image of the shape shifter to make him think he had them all right where he wanted them. It was classic deception and it worked. Now he was really angry.
"You deceptive little…" he began.
"Just returning the favor, Pierce," said Cable as he cocked his gun, "For once, this is going to be a fair fight."
He then charged his weapon and fired at the power dampening column, blowing it to pieces along with a few mini-sentinels. It effectively took away Pierce's trump card and he knew it. But he was far from defeated. He still had an army of machines and he would use all of them in order to protect Mastermold.
"You pitiful excuse for pond scum!" exclaimed Pierce, "Sentinel army, attack!"
The mini-sentinels obeyed without hesitation and aimed their armaments at the group of mutants. They all fired at once, but this time Jean and Magneto had the strength to put up shields that deflected every incoming round. And to break up the formation, they each delivered a burst of electromagnetic energy and telekinesis to knock each mini-bot back. Now that their organization was disrupted, they could fight back.
"X-men, attack!" ordered Scott.
"Mutant Liberation Front, attack!" ordered Magneto.
"I thought he'd never give the word," grunted Laura, who wasted no time in tearing into the mini-robots.
"Finally, a chance to break some of his toys," grinned Gambit as he charged some cards and began his barrage.
"Don't get too cocky, Remy," said Scott as he fired a barrage of optic blasts, "We're vastly outnumbered in case you haven't noticed."
"Oh please," he scoffed, "When are we not?"
Every one of the X-men and Mutant Liberation Front fought with their full collective power against Pierce's army. Piotr shifted into his metal form and did a ramming charge at a cluster of mini-sentinels that were firing at him. But their blasts had no chance against his metal skin and he blasted through them like bowling pins. Those unlucky enough to survive the onslaught were shorted out by Kitty, who ran behind her boyfriend and phased through anything unlucky enough to get in her path.
Rogue and Warren took to the air, flying up to draw fire away from their friends and leave the mini-sentinels open for attacks from their friends. Warren's wing was still sore, but he toughed it out and played his part. This time, Betsy made sure nothing hit her boyfriend again. She used her psionic blades to cut through and dismember every mini-sentinel that got in her way. Logan and Laura fought close besides her as well, ripping apart every robot in a berserker style rampage.
"Guess Pierce hasn't worked out the kinks to these things!" grinned Betsy.
"Just like ripping apart the danger room," grunted Logan.
"Only more satisfying," added Laura as she decapitated another mini-sentinel.
The mayhem escalated as Vincent joined Piotr in running head first into clusters of mini-sentinels, drawing fire away from others who weren't invulnerable and smashing these mechanical monsters to pieces. He soon joined Rogue and Warren in the air as the coordinated flying swoop attacks they had practiced in the Danger Room to clear out clusters of robots so they wouldn't be able to organize and concentrate their fire.
Ororo soon joined as well, summoning her weather control powers to create whirlwinds around the confined area to form clouds that unleashed bolts of lightning. These powerful sparks arced across clusters of mini-sentinels, shorting them out and even causing a few to explode. They tried retaliating by firing on her, but they were made sitting ducks as Bobby froze them into giant blocks of ice while August melted them away with fire blasts.
"Eh they aren't so tough," said Bobby with growing confidence.
"I agree," grinned August, "Fire and ice are definitely not a machine's best friend."
"Amen to that, shelia!" grinned Pyro, who still wouldn't leave August alone.
August suppressed another groan as she stuck to burning through the onslaught while Pyro summoned massive balls of fire and torched large numbers of the mini-sentinels. His maniacal laughter showed he was enjoying himself a little too much. But that was just the pyromaniac in him. Lance tried to keep him in check, but that was not really possible with someone like Pyro. He had sympathy for August, but could do little to help her so he focused on making tremors that would knock the mini-sentinels off balance so they were easy targets for Bobby and August.
The most intense fighting continued in the central area where Scott, Jean, Cable, Alex, and Beast stayed close to the Professor. With no attack capabilities of his own it was up to them to protect him. Cable was especially determined to see to it that he was unharmed because should they fail, Xavier would still be the best hope for the future. But failure was the last thing on their minds as wave after wave of mini-sentinels poured into the area.
"Jeez, how many of these things are there?!" exclaimed Alex as he and Scott kept up a steady barrage of blasts.
"Knowing Pierce, plenty," said Scott, as he shot another sentinel that tried to leap towards the Professor, "Just keep shooting!"
"And then what?" grunted Alex, "We do have a plan, right?"
"Of course," said Scott, "We improvise."
"That's not much of a plan, bro."
"Until you think of something better just go with it!" said Jean, who kept putting up telekinetic shields to protect them.
It didn't seem like much of a strategy to him, but Alex kept fighting none-the-less. They had gotten through these things without much planning before. He trusted they could do it again.
With Cable, however, it was becoming increasingly apparent. Just fighting off Pierce's drones wasn't enough. They had to take it to the next level and attack the heart of Mastermold. And that meant going on the offensive.
"We can't keep this up!" he said as he blasted another sentinel's head off.
"I agree," said Beast, "And I'm very much open to suggestions."
"As am I," said Xavier, who could only watch as the melee escalated, "Where can we attack Mastermold's main programming?"
"All AI is routed in a neural-computer in the head," said Cable, "I'm guessing that's where all the data is."
"Then that's where we'll have to go," said Beast as he smashed the two heads of a couple of mini-sentinels together, "If I can get there, perhaps I can hack the mainframe and delete the primary files."
"That may take a while," warned Cable as more robots tried to attack, "These systems are pretty advanced."
"I'll go with you," said Xavier, "We can work faster together."
"That may be a problem given your mobility," said Beast.
"We don't have a choice," said the Professor strongly, "We have to destroy this monstrosity from within!"
They were brave words from someone who couldn't walk. Cable couldn't help but admire that, but it was still risky. If something happened to the Professor, there was no telling what that could do to the future. It may even make it so he didn't exist and they never even began this assault in the first place. But there was little time to debate. They had to make their move.
"You're a bold man, Professor," said Cable, "Here, take this!"
Cable then reached to a holster built into his cybernetic leg and pulled out a small side-arm. He then armed it and tossed it to the Professor. It didn't pack the power of his main gun, but it should give him some protection in case they faced any major obstacles.
"I know it's not your style, but you may need it," he said.
"Understood," said Xavier, "Hank, I don't think this chair will do us any favors so I'll need to hitch a ride."
"Very well, as long as you don't mind getting fur on your suit," said Beast as he picked Xavier up and hitched him over his shoulder while Cable covered him, "Now we just need an opening."
"You've got one," said Scott as he, Alex, and Jean got together and prepared a full attack.
Together with Cable, they concentrated their firepower and blew away an entire legion of mini-sentinels that were charging them from afar. Jean used her telekinesis to create a wide ram to knock them back while Scott, Alex, and Cable blasted away to keep them from regrouping. They had been blocking the ladders and elevators leading up the rafters and onto Mastermold. Pierce probably programmed them to keep anybody from getting that close, but with the combined power of the X-men the onslaught would be halted.
"Hang on, Charles! This could be a bumpy ride," said Hank as he leapt up onto the rafters.
"I would expect nothing less," said the Professor as he gripped Hank's uniform tightly.
They began making their way up just as the mini-sentinels regrouped and concentrated their firepower. This forced Scott, Jean, Alex, and Cable on the defensive. Cable and Jean stood up front, blocking for the others. Cable used his cybernetic arm as a shield and took a few rounds that dented his appendage, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. Jean was already nearing the point of mental fatigue from all the shielding she was making. Sweat poured down her face, but she never let up.
Then a lone shot from a mini-sentinel from her blind side fired a shot that grazed her shoulder.
"Ahhhhhhh!" she cried, falling to the floor.
"Jean!" yelled Scott, catching her before she hit.
"Mom…" grunted Cable with a new wave of anger.
Cable made sure that mini-sentinel paid. He used his own telekinesis to rip off every limb and fling it at other robots that were unlucky enough to get in the way. Alex had to cover him for a moment, but he didn't complain. He would have done the same for anything that hurt his sister-in-law.
Up in the rafters, Pierce was in a bitter fight with Mystique. After the shape shifter landed the first hit, the half-man half-machine tyrant went on a vicious attack. He had been so close to finally ridding himself of these pestilent X-men. He should have known they wouldn't be so foolish as to come in without a plan. That was naivety on his part and he was determined not to make the same mistake twice.
He showed early on that his strength was far greater than Mystique could hope to muster. Pierce smashed his fists at her, breaking iron bars on the rafters and putting dents in the floors. Mystique could only duck, dodge, and jump in order to avoid the punishing attack. She tried countering with a few kicks and punches to the face, but Pierce showed remarkable speed for someone who was part machine. Those upgrades were more advanced than she thought.
"I'll make sure you and your kind pay for this!" howled Pierce as he smashed another rail.
"Funny, I used to say the same thing," said Mystique as she did a back-flip to avoid another punch, "Now I see how annoying it was."
The shape shifter finally began to counter, finding a window and attacking the parts of this man that were still flesh and blood. Her anger was driven by the knowledge that this man had been part of the group that inflicted so much pain on her children. The rest of the Hellfire Club wasn't around to take her anger out on, so this man would have to do.
She landed a few good blows on his face, but they did little to slow Pierce down. Now he was getting really annoyed. For a blue-skinned woman, this freak was really testing his patience. Looking down at the fight below he saw that his mini-sentinels weren't making much progress either. But he refused to give in.
"I will not be denied!" exclaimed Pierce as he charged the shape shifter.
This time Mystique wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. Pierce tackled her and grabbed her by the neck, knocking her over the guard rail in the process and sending them falling to the hard ground below.
"Ack!" choked Mystique as she braced for impact.
"Mama!" exclaimed Rogue.
"I got her!" said Jean, catching the falling duo with her telekinesis while clutching her shoulder.
This sudden change in the fall startled Pierce enough to loosen his grip on Mystique's neck. When she felt this, she made her move and kneed him right in the gut where he was still flesh. The former Hellfire elite gasped at the blow and let her go. From here, Mystique turned him around so that now he was the one falling. When they hit the floor, he bore the blunt end of the punishment and Mystique nimbly leapt off.
"That was for my kids," she said in a stern tone.
Pierce groaned as he forced himself up. His limbs were fine, but the rest of his body was stinging. Maybe he should have had more work done to make the rest of him machine. Flesh was still very painful.
Upon seeing Pierce fall, Magneto's gaze narrowed. This was the man who was directly responsible for so much suffering in both the present and the future. This man not only hurt his kids, he also dared to use the mutant race as his pawns. As leader of the Mutant Liberation Front, he was going to make sure that didn't happen. He would give Pierce a real reason to fear mutants.
"Donald Pierce!" said Magneto sternly.
His fists clenched as he summoned the maximum force of his magnetic powers. Everything metal, including Pierce himself, shook at the sudden rise in magnetic activity. The X-men noticed the remaining mini-sentinels and even parts of those they had already defeated started to shake. They then looked over at Magneto and saw what he was doing.
"Oh boy, why do I get the feeling this isn't a good thing?" said Alex.
"With Magneto, when is it ever?" said Piotr, who was forced to revert to his flesh form.
"Relax X-dorks," grinned Pyro, "The boss man is just doing the hard part for us."
Magneto rose into the air, kicking up a whirlwind of dust in the process. Then every mini-sentinel in the area levitated as well. Some of them kept trying to fight and some tried to aim their weapons at Magneto. But it was too late for them. They were made of metal and they were nothing but scrap for the master of magnetism.
Then to Pierce's dismay, Magneto used his powers to mash every mini-sentinel into a warped ball of metal. And with that ball, he rammed it into the tunnels and entry points where the mini-sentinels had been pouring out in the first place. The destruction that resulted was severe. Gas tanks and oil lines ruptured, causing leaks of chemicals all throughout the area. This effectively stopped him from summoning reserves and left Donald Pierce defenseless against an angry Magneto.
"Uh…should we be rooting for him?" said Bobby.
"He got rid of dem annoying robots, didn't he?" shrugged Magneto.
"It doesn't matter," said Cable, "Without Pierce, the future will be changed."
"Will it stop Mastermold?" asked Vincent.
"I don't know. We may already be too late for that."
Cable did nothing to stop Magneto and neither did the others. While killing was not part of the X-men tradition, Magneto had no qualms about it. And as he floated towards Pierce, the former Hellfire leader got the message.
"Your toys are useless against me," taunted Magneto, "Now you will pay for all the pain you've caused and the havoc you are destined to inflict."
Magneto then used his powers to levitate Pierce by his limbs. Since they were made of adamantium, they could be magnetized. Pierce probably should have gone with the anti-magnetic coating, but he had no idea he'd be facing his enemies this soon.
"Let me go you mutant freak!" he struggled, "I swear my machines will…"
"You're machines will do nothing," said Magneto coldly, "It all ends now. Today, your insane plot ends. And I'll see to it that no machine will allow you to function when I'm through with you."
Pierce still maintained a cold gaze in the face of this powerful mutant, but there was little he could do. This freak had him trapped and powerless. It seemed to be the end of the line for him. He only hoped that Mastermold would be able to carry out his plans.
Magneto was just about to rip Pierce apart by his own limbs. Then suddenly, a figure shot out through the tunnel they came in and fired a lone shot at the hovering master of magnetism. Cable was the only one who reacted fast enough to recognize it. Nimrod had found them. He didn't know how, but it found them. It all happened so fast. He had little admiration for Magneto, but he couldn't allow him to die for the sake of the future.
"No!" he exclaimed, using his telekinesis to shove Magneto out of the way.
But he wasn't fast enough. The shot still hit Magneto right in the lower left torso. It wasn't the lethal shot it could have been, but it tore into a significant level of flesh that sent him falling to the floor in agony.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" howled Magneto.
"Oh shit…Nimrod," groaned Logan.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" exclaimed Lance, "This thing again?"
"At the worst possible time as always," said Cable, having to catch his breath, "Hurry guys! Protect Magneto!"
"Oh this is bittersweet," groaned Piotr, who didn't like the idea of protecting a man who once threatened his family.
Now that Magneto was wounded, his hold on Pierce was loosened. It took a moment for him to process what was going on, but when he saw the strange robot humanoid flying around the area his eyes lit up.
"Well I'll be," said Pierce, a grin forming on his face, "I just finished a sketch of you this morning. That could only mean…"
As he began piecing together the puzzle, Nimrod analyzed the situation. Its shot against the target Magneto had been right on, but the target moved at the last moment. He was injured though, so much so that his powers shouldn't be a factor anymore. But the rest of the targets quickly gathered around to protect him. And the pestilent interferer known as Cable was already firing relentlessly at him.
"Come down here you bucket of bolts!" he yelled, "Come down and face me!"
This was not a tactically good situation. Cable and the targets were well-coordinated and in a good position to counter any attack it unleashed. In addition, they were in close proximity to its creator, Mastermold. This made the situation far more volatile. Emergency measures had to be taken.
"Situation assessment complete. Potential time disruption identified. Objective: neutralize threat and guard creator."
With Cable still firing at it, Nimrod ascended higher into the hollowed out mountain complex. At first Cable thought it was getting out of range of his blasts, but then he saw how close Nimrod was to the compartments where inactive sentinels were being stored. It was then he realized what it was doing.
"Oh no," he grimaced, "Guys, we may have a problem."
"Oh what now?" groaned Kitty as she helped Lance tend Magneto's wound.
Everybody looked up to see Nimrod's eyes flashing. Whatever it was doing, it required a healthy level of computing power.
"Acquiring signal access. Override code analyzed. Initiating activation command."
All around the high-tech killing machine, eyes of inactive sentinels lit up. Pierce's remote for activating them may have been destroyed, but it was nothing Nimrod's advanced computing power couldn't handle. There were over two dozen complete sentinels ready for battle. Dozens more were near completion and would be ready to fight soon. To ensure their numbers would be steady, Nimrod also activated the automated construction mechanisms. This way there would be no end to the sentinel onslaught and the targets would have no escape.
"Good God…" gasped Scott as he and the X-men watched the sentinels descend on them, "Guys, I think we're in serious trouble."
"Thank you captain obvious!" exclaimed Pyro.
"Cable, if you have any bright ideas now would be the time," said Jean.
Cable just stared at the descending sentinels with a hard gaze. All his life he had fought against these things and never before were the stakes so high. This was the fight he was groomed for. This was the mission he was sent back in time to complete. His gaze was fixed on Nimrod as it led the attack. He promised his friends and family, past and future alike, that he would undo the carnage done by these monsters. And if there was one thing a Summers always did, it was keep his promise.
"Yeah…I have one," he said, cocking his gun, "We kick their robot butts!"
Hank and Xavier
While the fight against Pierce and the mini-sentinels raged below, Hank used his ape-like reflexes to nimbly scale the rafters. His target was the head of Mastermold where hopefully the main systems would be located. A part of him couldn't help but wish that Sage was with him because she was more a wizard on computers than he was, but he would have to make due. And with Xavier on his back, they definitely had the brain power.
"I think I see an entrance," said Xavier, "Head for that door on the right."
"I see it too, Charles," said Hank, "Let's hope this leads us to the mainframe."
When they reached the door, they found out it was locked. But that was nothing a solid kick from Beast couldn't handle. Parts of the facility were still old and it looked like Pierce cut corners in setting it up. His lack of foresight was their opportunity because the path ahead looked clear.
They continued down a dimly lit stretch of hallway. This facility's history of being and old Weapon X lab really showed. There were piles of laboratory junk and barrels filled with chemicals every step of the way. There was also the distinct smell of mad science. Hank and the Professor knew it well and it was all the more important they put a stop to it. They just had to see if Mastermold's mainframe was as vulnerable as they hoped.
"I think we're near the head," said Xavier, "All these wires seem to be leading to that door over there."
"And judging by the poor lighting, it's probably taking up a healthy amount of power," said Hank, "Let's hope we can pull the plug and get back to the others."
The door leading to their goal was more secure than the last one. This one was too heavy even for Hank to knock down. Thankfully, the handgun Cable gave the Professor offered help. While still holding onto Hank's shoulder, the Professor aimed the gun at the locking mechanism near the handle. It took only one shot to blow it off. Since the weapon was from the future it had a lot more kick to it. Even the Professor was surprised by the recoil, but then again he wasn't used to using firearms.
"I think this is it, Charles," said Hank, his anticipation growing.
He entered the room with Xavier still hitched on his back. This area was much better lit than the rest of the facility. It was also noticeably cleaner, most likely as a safeguard for the sensitive computing hardware. From what they could tell it was pretty advanced. It was right up there with their systems back at the institute, if not more so. There were dozens of servers stacked on top of and next to each other running at full throttle. Whatever they were doing, they were using a lot of computing power.
"My word, this is some hardware," said Hank, brushing his hand over a couple of servers, "Advanced quantum supercomputing with a touch of pulse protected, fiber optic AI."
"Admire it later, old friend," said Xavier, "We have to find the main terminal."
"Yes, of course," said Hank, shaking out of his state of mind, "If my computer knowledge serves me right it should be on the biggest, most active machine."
Following his instincts, Hank scanned the area. He didn't have to scan long because Pierce made the main terminal pretty big. It was built in a similar fashion that the main terminal was constructed at the institute. Either Pierce had a fetish for bigger, better tech or he was compensating for something. It was probably a combination of both.
"Ah, there it is," said Hank, "Mind if I set you down, Charles?"
"Of course not," said Xavier, "Do you think you can hack it?"
"It may be a while," he said as he set the Professor down, "These systems are running at full throttle. Whatever they're processing it must be very large."
Hank didn't waste time. He turned on the monitor and began going over the processes. And what he found didn't bode well for their timeframe.
"Oh no…" grimaced Hank.
"What is it, Hank?" asked the Professor anxiously as he held himself up next to the terminal.
"Pierce has already started loading Mastermold's AI! He's effectively locked the systems so I can't hack the data."
"Can you unlock it?"
"I can try, but…"
But just as Hank began typing on the computer, a figure snuck out from behind a server and attacked them.
"Get away from my life's work!" yelled Bolivar Trask as he charged the two mutants with a metal pipe in hand.
Xavier hadn't sensed him. Hank didn't hear him. He stayed quiet until he saw what those freaks were trying to do. Even if he was just a human and they were mutants, he couldn't let them destroy his masterpiece. So he summoned all his courage and attacked.
"Hank, look out!" shouted the Professor.
But it was too late. Hank barely turned around halfway when the pipe struck him on the head. And with a hard clang, he fell to the floor with a pained yell. Xavier fell as well, having lost his grip on the console. His paralyzed legs offered no escape as he tried to pull the gun out.
"Oh no you don't!"
Trask swung the pipe again, hitting the Professor in the hand and knocking the gun out. Xavier grunted at the pain, but tried to crawl towards the weapon none-the-less. But Trask beat him to it, dashing across the room and picking up the weapon before Xavier could get to it. And with the weapon in hand he pointed it right at the Professor, his finger trembling on the trigger.
"Surprised, Xavier?" said Trask with a look of rage on his face, "I know a thing or two about freaks like you. I know how to guard my mind now thanks to Pierce."
"Trask…" said Xavier, not expecting to see him here.
"That's right," he said sternly, "I, a lowly human, have the upper hand on you, the world's most powerful telepath. And I won't let you destroy my life's work! Face it, Xavier…it's over. You and your kind lose. Now…you die."
Up next: Nimrod and Pierce lead the sentinels against the X-men for a final onslaught.

Amazingly there have already been 460 hits on this thread - thank you all those who have visited.
Granted that tea drinker's experiences are just one example of the terrible neighbour problems that people have to put up with - but the way everything can be compounded and worsened by 'withheld protection' of indifferent local authorities has in her case become an issue in itself.
Over a decade ago, when my wife and I were suffering from a longstanding antisocial neighbour problem, Jack Straw, the then Home Secretary (I think) initiated a real push to give local authorities extra powers to deal with such situations. At the time it seemed like a godsend. But where are we now?
It occurs to me that there are others out there who are suffering not only from antisocial neighbours but also like tea drinker from similar 'withheld protection' of indifferent authorities - but specifically in the case of neighbour problems with a garden theme, if possible.
Why not continue the use of this thread to record your experiences of dilatory or ineffective help from local authorities.
We should still keep tea drinker's thread separate - since, as anyone reading it will know, her experience has become a real saga (incidentally, 'A Social Saga' was one of my original working titles for The Bully and the Policeman).
East Anglia: Damp and dull earlier, became brighter until 4ish when the the rain started - just after I got out to cut my hedge with electric hedge trimmer - not good idea to carry on!
Have you tried Growing Success Cat Repellent?
It comes as granules which you sprinkle over the ground. It leaves a garlicky smell which certainly seemed to deter any repeat of the problem I had with cats leaving their mess in my newly dug flower plot.
It is also safe around other pets and children.
I have a little hardwood table that's been left out all winters - it is probably teak because it seems to have suffered little apart from a bit of green mould And one slight crack (see below*)
My only concern is that because the table legs are in constant contact with the ground during all the wet weather they are more likely to suck up water by capillary action through the end grain of the wood and can retain water longer standing on the wet ground - not good if followed by frost.
*Since noticing a bit of a crack in one of the legs which I put down to frost damage, I now like to try and 'perch' the legs on 4 round pebbles during Winter which gives them a chance to drain / dry out after each soaking. Fussy, I know, but it seems to work.
Waterbutts: I did exactly the same thing a month or so ago when I installed new butt for the front of the house. It started to overflow even though I followed the instructions nd measured very carefully.
Eventually worked out I had probably measured a little too closely (to maximise the volume of water collected before the diverter sent the excess down the drainpipe) and also not allowed for really heavy rainfall.
I bit the bullet and just cut another centimetre off the lower section of the downpipe and reattached the diverter. Amazed myself how quick it was to do.
Assuming your diverter has the the same type of design, the only thing to watch for is to make sure the upper section of downpipe is still long enough to reconnect to the guttering because that is the bit that will drop a centimeter lower when you reconnect the diverter (attached to its bottom end) to the lower section of pipe that goes into the drain/ground.
Blessèd rain most of the afternoon, with occasional gaps.
Watered this morning - that must be what did it!
Haven't checked my waterbuts either, Waterbutts, but did you know you can install a diverter in the down pipe that doesn't need checking. You've just got to get the diverter outlet from the downpipe a bit lower than the top of the waterbut and physics does the rest! (It's zee old syphonage ploy, ennit? But you probably knew all that!)
Evening Panda! Haven't been on this thread recently but just picked up a few of your last posts.
Also noticed your photo of Heleniums - they look nice and healthy and bright.
Are they grown from seed? I'm wondering the best way of getting some ready for next year. I think they could create a lovely splash of colour in some of my bare patches which I've been a bit tentative about filling this year where I'm rather finding my feet with managing a garden on my own for the first time.
Glad to hear you have felt better today - I'm now retired but still vividly remember the relief of Friday evenings.
My Bramleys seem to have more codling moth in them this year and the Victoria Plum seem to have more plum moth.
What is worrying is that I hung up pheromone traps for the two respective fruit moths on the relevant trees and I'm wondering whether the pheromone has attracted more moths than I otherwise would have got!
Or are there just more of those moths around this year?
waterbutts wrote (see)
Yes, cut off shrivelled bits and burn them (bits on the tree, that is).

Heather, are you using an iPad? I find this sort of thing can happen even if I only slightly brush the touch sensitive screen.

Whether you use patternCooler for a commercial or non-commercial project, I am always keen to hear how people are making use of this resource. I'm always keen to collaborate with other sites and individuals selling and creating products bearing patterned designs. One of my aims for this site is to link through to third parties selling products carrying patternCooler designs for a small commission.
For digital non-profit-making projects I am happy to make my resource available for free and if you want to show your appreciation by making a small donation then that is fantastic and very gratefully received. This site would not exist if it were not for all those developers who spend time freely offering their skills and knowledge; replying to threads on coding forums and posting tutorials that novice developers like me use on a daily basis. It is my wish to be able to return something of value back to the the net and keep the core of patternCooler freely available to all. Inbound links to patternCooler are also welcomed where a donation is not possible.
I am happy to let those who use patternCooler for small profit-making ventures to evaluate how much value my patterns are adding to their project and donate accordingly. However, it is my specific request that those who do use this resource to increase the profitability of their product do contribute something back to this project. Without the generous support of its users, the PatternCooler resource would not continue to be developed and its potential to become a truly great and useful resource for all designers would not be realised.
For small business only wanting to print my designs on a relatively small number of products I have devised a simple advanced commission license. A flat rate commission that can be negotiated will be paid for every item sold carrying any pattern from my patterncooler library. Each item can carry a different pattern if desired, so there is no limit to the number of themes or color variations used. Advanced payment is made for 100 items. If for example a flat rate of È5 was agreed, a advance of È500 would mean 100 items could be sold carrying any combination of my patterns. The license can be renewed after each subsequent 100 items sold.
Below you will find a pricing table that should serve as a guideline only for companies wanting to carry my designs on their products. For individuals wanting to print my designs on low volume products then a specific license can be arranged to meet your requirements and budget. An unlimited printing licenses can also be quoted for on request.
It might be that I am able to provide more suitable design files than what are available on the the site or help with the promotion of a product. I am open to ways of working together for mutual benefit. As indicated in the table I am keen to take design commissions and willing to sell designs with an exclusivity licence where required.

An exquisite dish! the cabbage leaves meltingly tender and the meat and rice stuffing give a comforting feeling all permeated by the faint taste of lemon, garlic and mint. It can be partially cooked and frozen which makes it ideal for a party. This is Lebanese cuisine at its finest, humble yet refined…
- 1 large cabbage (weight about 3 lbs. or 2 small ones
- Several lamb bones (can use leftover bones from chops, for instance)
- 15 garlic cloves, peeled 5 garlic cloves, peeled and mashed with a teaspoon of salt in a mortar (or with a knife)
- 3 Tablespoons crushed dried mint
- 4 oz. fresh lemon juice
For the stuffing:
- 1 lb. ground lamb or beef chuck or ground round
- 3/4 cup sushi rice or medium-grain rice or Egyptian rice
- Spices consisting of salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice, about 1 to 2 teaspoons each.
- Prepare the cabbage leaves by coring the cabbage then steaming it or boiling it until the leaves are tender. Place on a colander to drain and cool. Reserve the cabbage broth.
- Prepare the stuffing by mixing the ground meat with the rice and spices in a bowl.
- Prepare the dutch oven by sprinkling it with some olive oil, then spreading about 3 tablespoons of powdered dried mint on top. Add a sprinkle of garlic cloves (about 6).
- Cover the pan with all the lamb bones you have, leaving gaps to be filled up by the thick cabbage rib pieces. Separate the leaves, cutting them in half if necessary and taking the rib out (to be used to line the pan) Stuff the leaves one at a time by placing a generous tablespoon of meat mixture in the middle and rolling it like a cigar. Place each stuffed leaf in the pot, one layer at a time, taking care to insert garlic cloves here and there.
- Now place a small plate on the cabbage rolls to maintain them in place; gently pour the cabbage water (or plain water or light chicken bouillon) to which you would have added the lemon juice and crushed garlic cloves on top of the rolls. You should have about 2 cups of liquid. Cover the pan and bring to a slow boil. Uncover pan and simmer until the water has evaporated. Usually the cooking time is about one hour from start to finish, unless you plan to freeze the dish, in which case you will cook it halfway.
- Serve by carefully flipping the cabbage rolls onto a pretty platter, to show off your beautiful work. Remove any ribs or bones however, unless you have splurged and used whole lamb chops, then you can serve them alongside the rolls! The dish will serve 6 people. Mehche Malfoof can be accompanied with a bowl of cold plain yogurt and some pita bread.

As people shopped for Super Bowl supplies at grocery stores today, they also had a chance to help domestic violence victims.
It was part of the 6th annual "Shop and Share" campaign.
According to the Center for Disease Control, Kentucky ranks 11th in the nation in terms of people who have been abused by their partner.
The event is led by Kentucky's First Lady Jane Beshear.
It's a one day goods drive where people donate items and money to benefit Kentucky's 15 domestic violence shelters.
In Fayette County, the Richmond Road Kroger had thousands of donations before noon, according to the store co-manager.
Since the "Shop and Share" campaign began, organizers said the event has raised more than $2 million for the shelters.

Will U.S. Government shutdown only further isolate the Tea Party movement?
Now nearly inevitable: A partial shutdown of the U.S. Government.
While one can never predict these things with absolute certainty, it would seem a government shutdown will only further marginalize the Tea Party movement nationally, yet accentuate its appeal in those rabidly red, conservative Congressional districts.
Add to that if the debt ceiling isn't resolved, and Wall Street and global economic markets have a coniption.
This analysis from The NEW REPUBLIC pretty much nails it...

The way America will see it, is if you are driving down the road and your passenger suddenly grabs the wheel and pulls it to the right, and you run off the road into a ditch, it is that passenger's fault, and not the driver's.
No matter how much bloviating the passenger says over whether the driver should have just taken his hands off that wheel instead of trying to get the car back on the road, will not matter.
The officer will cite the passenger for the accident.... Republicans will probably lose both houses, governorships, and never be heard again for 65 years because of this....

Especially if the economy goes into the tank because of this. Republicans have a history of not doing well after depressions.
But the Tea Dummies will be happy and that's all they care about.
If there's a depression because of all this, Obama won't be looking good either. He was in the Senate for only two years, but didn't show up much because he was too busy running for president. As a result, he is completely inept at dealing with legislators and the legislative process.
LBJ was the master of Congress while he was in the Senate and he could handle the Tea Bigots' predecessors, the Southern Democrats. Not Obama. He's even more inept than Kennedy was (and for the same reasons). And notice Biden hasn't been any help, either. He has always been over-rated as a Senator by the lapdog local media that wanted to inflate his importance to inflate their own (and to pander to Delaware's statewide inferiority complex).

Kavips: Good analogy. I don't know about 65 years [Americans have a much shorter memory than they used to have years ago - probably all that TV watching], but the rest of it is probably correct.
The question I have for those who hate Obamacare so much that they'd gladly watch the government shut down, the nation not pay its outstanding bills, and probably get our financial rating lowered thus again, not to mention the havoc it will have on our economy and the world's economy is:
Are you sad that you'll have Social Security and Medicare when you retire? Most folks, other then the truly wealthy, are glad to have both programs as senior citizens. Yet, the same types of folks back in the 1930's and 1960's rallied against those respective programs. So once Obamacare gets off the ground, people will receive the intended benefits and just like Social Security and Medicare, folks will be glad we have it. That's why the big push now to unfund it. Because once folks start getting the benefits of Obamacare, the G.O.P. will never convince folks to get rid of it [The G.O.P knows this from their failed attempts to get rid of Social Security and Medicare].
What I believe the issue is, partly is that all of those programs were implimented by Democrats, so the DEMS get the credit for them [FDR - New Deal/Social Security, LBJ - Medicare, and now Obama - and the Affordable Care Act a.k.a. Obamacare].
Sadly for the G.O.P., Obamacare was a Republican plan originally, but the ultra rightwing of their party prevented it ever being seriously considered until the DEMS reintroduced it in the Obama presidency. So the G.O.P. could have claimed it as theirs many years ago, but instead would rather let the DEMS have it as they are doing and it will now be considered a DEM program like Social Security and Medicare. Once again proving that the G.O.P. is not for the best interests of the little guy [working-class folks], but for the robber-barrons and wealthy folks.

I wonder how many people (besides news-junkies like most here) are really paying attention to any of this?
Mike: Just because many years ago Republicans wanted more government-intrusive health-care doesn't mean it was a good idea. I wasn't a big fan of Bush's increase of government's size and am not a fan of this president's intent to increase governmental involvement in our daily lives.
The question many honest Democrats, Republicans, and Independents need to ask is this...would they still support the policy if someone from the opposite side of the political aisle instituted it or if the "other side" comes into power within the next election cycle? Do you really want a powerful Republican president/administration having the same power as a Democrat? I doubt it and I myself don't trust either side with that much power...ultimate power corrupts ultimately.

All of this could have been avoided if the person being paid to be President of the United States had simply done his job. And that job is not to fly around making speeches every day. It is to direct his cabinet secretaries, department heads, and staff to draft a budget each year. He has only done that once and the U.S. Senate sent it down in flames because it was pure nonsense. If Mr. Obama is not capable of doing his job, then the government SHOULD be shut down until he grows up and takes responsibility for the job he is being paid to do.
I know he takes a dim view of actually doing some work. But until he becomes an adult, the government is going to be dysfunctional.
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 12:09pm
Both the Democrats and the media are convinced that the public will blame Republicans for the government shutdown.
The media blamed the G.O.P. back in 1996 for causing the shutdown...but the voters didn't seem to have the same view. At the next election...Republicans retained their majorities in Congress. (The Senate G.O.P. even picked up 2 seats, in a year in which Clinton won re-election)

EarlGrey: The other question the G.O.P. needs to answer in a clear way is how do we as a society provide health-care coverage for those who have pre-exisiting conditions, or cannot afford to buy health-care insurance as their employers don't offer it, OTHER than them simply going to the ER and you and I paying for that, OR Obamacare? Surely there must be another way, but let's be really honest here: The G.O.P. doesn't really have a plan other than that half-baked thing they quickly came up with last week, that offers no details, etc. Just pie in the sky.
Bottom-line: Insurance companies are not going to take those with pre-existing conditions unless the GOVERNMENT requires them to, so on some level there will have to be some government intervention, a thing TEA folks totally oppose.
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 1:41pm
Earl brings up a valid point. However that evidence should be weighted with the knowledge that his total was achieved by having 3 Senate races flip Republican and 1 flip to the Democrats giving up a net gain of 2.
Often one puts too much attention on party affiliation. Occasionally a state party runs a really bad candidate as did the Republicans in Delaware during the 2010. Some on this thread have even stated that had Castle run instead, that 2010 flip would not have occurred.
In the 3 wins, all three Democrats retired in Southern states, which were controlled by heavily Republican majorities. Those Democrats originally elected during the Dixiecrat era had simply held on to their seats as has Tom Carper here.
The surprise was that a Democrat was able to carry South Dakota, and that was probably due to a national distaste for anything Republican.
Further information: the Dem's won 2 additional seats in the House (rare for a second term president across the average) The Dem's picked up or held onto 7 governor ships; the Rep's 4.
To judge the full extent of the public's hatred for Republicans back in 1996, one should look at a race not influenced by local politics, such as the Presidential campaign results. Did Clinton's veto of Newt's irrational budget taint the president?
Let us put it this way... The Democrats even carried Arizona! West Virginia! Arkansas! Missouri! Louisiana! Tennessee! Kentucky!
Hopefully those states' Republicans are prepared to lose next fall as well...

Part of the problem with this is most of us do have health-care insurance from our employers, so we really do not benefit by Obamacare [I didn't get the check in the mail that was touted]. My employer continues to raise the rates each year [I'll find out this November how much more for 2014]. Another thing to consider - and EarlGrey mentioned it vaguely - is that most of us do vote with our wallets. That's why no politician in his/her right mind will campaign on raising taxes in an election year.
So that is the one hope the G.O.P. does have, that more folks will say I'm not hurting, so why should I want to vote for Obamacare, especially if I'm going to have to pay higher taxes, etc.? Based on the info EarlGrey posted about the votes in the election after Newt and company shut down the government, maybe the G.O.P. isn't taking that big of a risk after all.
I know folks who need medical insurance, who do have pre-existing conditions (they are the reason I believe we need Obamacare or some variation on it), so folks like that can get the care they need. As far as I know, I will not benefit by Obamacare, but still believe it or something like it needs to happen for those other folks. I'm open to better ideas, and that's where the G.O.P. seems to fall far short.
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 7:11pm
What we have with the TP/RR people is extreme selfishness and indifference. AM right-wing talk radio is for geezers and biddies, angry and working class. They've got Medicare but they don't want anybody else to have health coverage. The motto of the TP/RR should be "Hooray for me; to hell with you." "I'm alright; screw you."
Watch out. The rest of you are so nasty that MikeFromDelaware is so appalled he's turning liberal.
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 7:22pm
I don't know if GOP/TEA will win or lose in 2014, but I'm glad to see a politician like Ted Cruz stand at the Alamo for what's right and let the chips fall where they may.
It's all a matter of conscience.
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 10:06pm
Mike: The Republicans have a plan that keeps some of the good parts from the ACA (like pre-existing condition coverage, insuring "kids" till their 20's). The Republican plan also offers state-to-state insurance competition and personal health-care not tied to one's job and thus portable...removing the fear of changing jobs. How many people stay at their current jobs for the benefits, but hate their actual jobs?
Why is it we can we shop around for the best car insurance and homeowner's/renter's insurance coverage for our family's needs... and none are tied to our employment/employer?
Mike from Delaware
Mon, Sep 30, 2013 10:52pm
EarlGrey: What about the uninsured, those who go to the ER that we all pay for while they freeload off of us? Obamacare gets them insurance too, which will save all of us money.
Those things you mention sound good; where have they been for the past three years? It seems strange that the G.O.P. finally comes up with a competing plan of sorts one week from the date Obamacare officially kicks in. It comes across more like just a stalling tactic than a serious proposal.
I remember Newt's Contract on America. One key plank of that contract was term limits. The G.O.P. showed how honorable & honest they are when after winning that election, the G.O.P. said, "We won so we don't need term limits any longer."
So given how they'll say anything to get their way, and I haven't forgotten that lie from the Gingrich Congress, I don't believe the G.O.P. is serious about providing a workable health-care program. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 7:21am
Earl. Health insurance was originally offered as a perk, to help one's competitiveness against one's competitors in the labor pool. Originally it was endorsed by those companies because it also, as does a pension, work to keep long-term employees on board.
One of the side benefits, was that because of the larger pool, the risk factor was lower and insurance would cost less when sold to an employer, than if one bought an existing policy. Especially if someone had a pre-existing condition.
The biggest difference between then and now was that most hospitals back then were non-profit. Originally there was no incentive to add unnecessary tests to jack up the price.
Quite simply, as medical costs rose, insurance companies had to scramble ahead of them and raise the revenue to be able to pay for them.
Businesses were getting socked, so they put pressure on insurance companies to cut costs, and co-pays, deductibles, managed care became the response.
As people began paying more out-of-pocket, they pressed for change, blaming the insurance companies for taking too much off the top.
And so we arrived at the point, where it became a campaign issue, and the person winning the election was bound to tackle the problem.
The Affordable Care Act was put together "by committee" and therefore has a lot of moving parts. But, each part was vetted and agreed to by those opposed, so they really are not that bad in scope. (Not as if they were mandated by a dictatorial power). Of course this makes it ironic that the name Obamacare has stuck, because essentially, the White House had very little to do with its making.
It said, "you should do this", and "here is what we think should go into it" and signed the official product; that is the quick explanation of its entire involvement.
But the bill was put together primarily by lobbyists from the medical profession, the insurance profession, and consumer advocates. They all said they could sign on, and the Congress passed it on the lines of whether they were willing to give Obama credit for it, or not.
It is a good bill. Or about as good as one can get out of a committee..
And the prediction is that as businesses get anxious to shed the yoke of health-care, the government will be given more and more responsibility out of necessity.
A business that must pay the premiums of its employees, has to be even more efficient elsewhere, when it competes globally against those nations where the government provides health-care, and does not saddle its businesses with the cost.
We will probably see single payer in our lifetimes, primarily at the behest of American businesses.
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 8:41am
OK, the TP/RR crowd says they don't want to be required to get health insurance and start talking about "freedom."
Fine. Here's the deal. Health insurance is optional. Completely voluntary. At age 26, you have a 90-day sign-up period under terms like those of the Affordable Care Act.
If you don't sign, you have no insurance. Hospitals can refuse to treat you. Even emergency care. They can demand cash on the barrel head up front. If you decide later on you want insurance, insurance companies can turn you down for all the reasons they've used up to now (like pre-existing conditions) or for no reason at all. And you have to pay all the back premiums from age 26 (Easy payment plans available).
Lotsa luck. Stay healthy.
Also whatever employers kick into your health insurance should be taxed as personal income (and you should be able to take the amount in cash and use as you want).
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 6:44pm
Just a casual unscientific observation... but I have heard so many people who NEVER utter a word about politics, totally shred the Tea Party and Republicans today. Getting totally angry even.
Perhaps we are finally making progress.

MFD: Theoretically.
Tue, Oct 1, 2013 11:46pm
As for isolating the Tea Party... Let me let you in on what New York's Peter King had to say about the shutdown....
�That�s Ted Cruz�s fault. Ted Cruz led us down this path. This was a disaster from the start,� King said. �I could have predicted this and this is what the leadership predicted three weeks ago when they said they would never pursue defunding because it was going to work against us and we�d be blamed. But Ted Cruz insisted that his people follow him, and we did it, and that�s why we�re in this position. It�s his fault, and he wants us to get him out of it. Listen I�m saying the president should negotiate, but I �m saying that this was caused by Ted Cruz and his acolytes in the House of Representatives. They led us down this dead end street.�
King continued battering Cruz, citing other prominent Republicans who had attacked Cruz�s strategy in the past.
�Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove, Tom Coburn, all solid conservatives said this was a terrible policy to begin with,� King said. �We had a Republican Senator say it was the dopiest idea they�d ever heard. Ted Cruz is to blame, and those in the House who stand with him have brought about this train wreck. It�s up to us to try to get it out and it�s up to the president to step in and stop standing on the sidelines.�
And a quote from Trent Lott....
"I'm of two minds," Lott said. "I'd like to be in the arena and help work something out. But it's gotten too nasty and too mean these days. I couldn't work with these guys." "That Ted Cruz. They have to teach him something or cut his legs out from under him."
This was un-named but came out of the Republican House Caucus...."Nancy Pelosi is more well-liked around here."
� GOP aide (National Review)
Still proud to be a Republican guys?.. It is getting worse for you by every minute... lol.. :)
Wed, Oct 2, 2013 8:12pm
I couldn't care less what Peter King has to say. He's a traitor and should switch over to the Democrats.
Sun, Oct 6, 2013 1:31am
Same with Ted Cruz. He's the biggest traitor since Benedict Arnold. He should switch over to Soviet Russia.

Your Starbucks latte is going to cost you a little bit more. The coffee chain is raising prices by an average of 1-percent. The price hike will affect Starbucks' brewed coffee, tea, latte and espresso drinks.
While drink prices vary from city to city, customers in some markets could pay about 10 cents more for a tall brewed coffee. Prices will not increase at a vast majority of Starbucks stores for its vente and grande-sized brewed coffees, or for its frappuccino drinks.
This is the first price hike in nearly two years for the coffee chain.

Made this for a potluck buffet because I thought it sounded fun. Love the idea but the recipe lacked flavor and needed a lot of tweaking! The dressing for the coleslaw easily needed double all the ingredients EXCEPT for the rice vinegar. I shredded the cabbage and cut the cuke slices into quarters so that everything was more manageable to eat. Follow directions for prep time or the slaw will get soggy. Also added more lime and Siracha to the mayo so it had more pizzaz. Loved the crunch of the peanuts and the cilantro but could do without the radishes. Didin't feel they added much and there was enough going on otherwise. People enjoyed this with the changes.

State GBI agents say they are interviewing all the friends and family of suspected killer Sonny Neal this morning and following up with every lead after he eluded a manhunt last night.
"He's priority No. 1 in North Georgia," said Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Dan Simms.
Neal, who was spotted walking down Highway 201 toward Varnell Wednesday afternoon, spurred a massive search that lasted most of the night. Tracking dogs, dozens of officers on foot, SWAT teams and a helicopter with infrared cameras participated, but Neal wasn't found.
Neal is suspected of killing his wife, Jessica, and her grandfather, Donald Shedd, last week then fleeing in what police are calling one of the goriest killings in Whitfield County history.
Police say Sonny Neal is armed and dangerous and if he is spotted called Whitfield County Sheriff's Office at 706-278-1233.
