Not happy. Poor standard of room
For the money, I paid to stay for one night I expected a higher standard.
Our room was located at the front of the hotel which meant noisy shoppers during the day and clubbers during the night as well as a very noisy delivery man at 4 am. There were no main light in the bedroom (only lamps) and one did not work. The light by the entrance of the room worked along side the TV so you had to have both on or non at all. The bathroom wasn't clean and bin wasn't emptied.

Utterly disgusted !!
The rooms are very basic and very untidy!!, booked through this site as a last min thing and was disgusted at the state of my room!.
Firstly upon entrance I noticed there was no AC, the receptionist was dripping of sweat (it was when we had a heat wave of around 2weeks) which my partner pointed out was a bad first impression. Being of the younger generation you think I may not mind certain things not being perfect, but this kind of took the biscuit. The toilet didn't flush properly, the window opened about 5 cm wide, the tap only had luke warm water, the bed sheets were dusty and to top it off the door didnt even lock !. (had to put a table infront of the door).
The standard of this hotel is very poor, you had people walking down the Hall way banging doors, and the smell of drugs was over powering . My partner was actually also bitten. We are not entirely sure what by but it was as a result of sleeping in the bed. Luckily I never got into the bed myself else I would of suffered the same fate. She is currently on a antibiotics as she had lumps behind her ear and in her head!. I was quite concerned when I reported this to the duty manager of the weekend, when told that my partner had been bitten she replied "we will call in the pest control" which by my taking is not the first time its happened.
I would never return to this hotel and I suggest anyone with a brain will pay extra money to avoid this place as quiet frankly, it needs knocking down!

So its that time of year again, no I don't mean the whole season of giving thing, thats cool, what with all the stuff, but its not my point today. It is that lovely time when the first semester of post secondary school winds down and there is a blissful reprise before the second one starts. Its the time that I try and jam as much gaming as possible. It's probably going to be more so this year cause I had an insane paper writing stint in November. So here I'm probably going to ramble about what I plan to play for my glorious two weeks off of school.
First of all World of Warcraft, well kind of. I was so happy when I found out classes ended on the 6th at my school cause it meant that on the 7th I was free to play as much WoW as I wanted. I got up at stupid o'clock in the morning and went to buy my copy of Cata after waiting outside in the cold for the store to open, then I get home, put it in my computer and it tells me "does not meet the minimum system requirements" I almost cried. No Worgen for me. There is hope though, as it turns out a computer is heading my way for Christmas. As soon as I have it and spend the hours installing that game I'm going to be ALL over it. Probably sink some ridiculous amount of hours into it.
But before I get my computer I need to play some stuff to kill time. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is right up there on my list. A game that I was so excited for but had to for the most part delayed playing because of school. I've played a bit now and so far I have pretty much loved it. I was excited about it cause it was multiplayer that I wasn't going to completely suck at. I am in fact not sucky. While I don't think I like the single player quite as much as AC2, it is still pretty awesome.
Alan Wake is up there too, if I get the chance to steal it from my roommate for the holidays. I remember being kind of interested in it back when it came out but I was trying not to buy too many games and I had probably already gotten a stupid amount that month. So when I moved back when school started it was forced upon me by my lovable roommate. I love survival horror games but I'm not usually the one who plays them. The controller more often than not is handed over to a friend and I sit and watch, its how I do things. So it's been different with Alan Wake, me actually in control. So far I'm enjoying it and I'd like to get as far in it as I can while I still have time.
There is a bunch of other games too that I'm probably going to end up playing, a whole list that I need to beat. Mass Effect 2, that one upon a time I had been so close to beating before I got to know the red ring of death. Persona 3 Portable getting really close to the end now and its about time cause I own all the other versions of this game and have never gotten more than half way. Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals cause I spent a stupid amount of time trying to get my copy. As well as a replay of Golden Sun so I remember what happens before I play the new one.
So this blog entry isn't very exciting and I'm going to try and work on that but it's what I've got for now. Also if anyone has any suggestions of things for me to play, I play just about anything.

Head of the Breast Unit, The Royal Marsden Hospital
London, United Kingdom
Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer makes up more than two-thirds of all breast cancer cases, particularly those that occur after menopause. While a variety of successful anti-estrogen drugs are available to treat ER+ cancer, resistance to these therapies remains a significant clinical challenge. Drs. Dowsett and Smith are using a new clinical trial platform called POETIC-2 to identify potential combinations of anti-estrogen drugs and other drugs that target anticipated resistance mechanisms in individual patients. In the coming year they will conduct a feasiblity study to test the platform in order to identify any major impediments so that a full trial can be initiated as soon as possible. These studies will improve our knowledge of the characteristics of an individual's tumor and offer the potential for individualized therapy and new drug development.
Ian E. Smith, MD, FRCP, FRCPE, is Professor of Cancer Medicine at The Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research, London, United Kingdom. He is also Head of the Breast Unit at The Royal Marsden Hospital.
His initial medical training was in Edinburgh and he came to the Royal Marsden, London, for specialist training in cancer medicine. He spent some time in Boston at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard. His principal clinical research interests have been in breast cancer, lung cancer, and in new drug development. He was involved in the early clinical development of several anticancer drugs that have subsequently proved effective in the clinic, including carboplatin and letrozole. In the last decade he has become increasingly involved in neoadjuvant therapies as a research approach towards individualizing treatment for breast cancer. He is currently Chief Investigator or UK Principal Investigator for several international multicenter breast cancer trials involving in particular targeted therapies and aromatase inhibitors. He publishes and lectures extensively. He was awarded the Susan G Komen for the Cure Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction at the 2009 San Antonio International Breast Cancer Conference.
Professor Smith is Co –Chairman of the ASCO Clinical Guidelines Group for Chemotherapy in Metastatic Breast Cancer, and has just been appointed the first Chair of the newly formed UK Breast Cancer Clinical Reference Group. He is a patron of Breast Cancer Care, the largest UK breast charity for patient support.

As Wall Street waits — with increasing impatience — for Avon Products Inc. to name a new chief executive officer, more names have surfaced as potential candidates for the top job.
This story first appeared in the March 9, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The din surrounding Avon's search has also prompted several people who were once thought to be lead contenders to distance themselves from the post. HSN Inc.'s ceo Mindy Grossman, former Procter & Gamble Co. executive Ed Shirley and, most recently, Susan Arnold, also a P&G alum, have all declared that they are not pursuing the corner office at the beleaguered direct seller.
RELATED STORY: Mindy Grossman Quashes Avon Talk >>
In an e-mail sent to WWD earlier this week, Arnold said, "I am not considering the Avon ceo position," adding that she is "not interested in taking on this kind of challenge at this time."
Investors have quickly moved on to naming other favorites for the job, including a string of veteran ceo's from outside the beauty industry. They include Dawn Hudson, the former ceo of PepsiCo's North American business; Carlos Gutierrez, the former ceo of Kellogg Co. and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce under the administration of President George W. Bush, and William Perez, the former president and ceo of Nike Inc. and of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. Perez has served on Johnson & Johnson's board since 2007, and is a senior adviser for the investment banking firm Greenhill & Co.
Investors have focused much of their attention on Hudson, who currently is vice chairman, head of consumer practice at The Parthenon Group, a business consultancy. Adding to their interest is Hudson's link to Avon board member Gary Rodkin. Both Hudson and Rodkin have held senior posts at PepsiCo North America. Prior to joining ConAgra as ceo in October 2005, Rodkin was chairman and ceo of PepsiCo Beverages and Foods North America.
Gutierrez, for his part, is touted for his prowess at building higher-margin consumer product brands, including the Special K and Kashi cereal businesses.
Avon has said little about the progress of its search for a ceo to replace the embattled Andrea Jung, but Wall Street analysts expect a decision prior to the company's shareholders' meeting in early May.

We still need to bring in a left back.
I guess thats gonna happen in summer now..
At least we didn't pay way over the odds for a player this transfer window.. ie Carroll.
Although I wanted additional cover at the back, and Ince (while I think he makes equal sense in the summer), I would also say yes.
We added a player who can become a top goal scorer, with bags of pace, talent and a multi-functional attacker in Daniel Sturridge, who's just 23 years old.
And, in Coutinho, we got the player for 2M less than Inter wanted, and 4M less than some other clubs were willing to pay. He won't have a massive impact immediately, but he's immensely talented, again with bags of pace, dribbling skills equal to that of Suarez, and again, another multi-functional attacking player who can even come from a bit deeper, plust he's only 20, so a long term player with tons of upside.
We got rid of Cole, loaned out Morgan, Ngoo, Wilson, and Pacheco who all needed to get regular playing time to see what they're made of and if they will have a future, while it also makes room for players who seem more ready made for the next step up in Yesil and Adorjan.. both amazing talents up top.
And, we didn't sell anyone to buy, or sell anyone we didn't want to. There was no rumblings far as I can see/read anywhere, so we have the biggest/most talented squad I can really remember, with a mix of youth and experience, and since nobody left or wanted to, it seems they're all committed to the cause..
And last, but certainly not least, we were THIRD in the EPL in spending, and on just 2 players vs QPR, and Newcastle, who were 2M and 1M ahead of us respectively, but brought in handfuls of players..
20.5M spent on two players, while Chelsea spent 8M, for 1 City no clue on a relatively unknown, Arsenal under 10 for their new LB, Spurs 0 for January, Everton 3-4M for a CB..
So, our owners laid out more money than any of the teams in front of us, with more funds available in the summer, for the likes of Ince, a CB, a GK, and whatever else Rodgers wants... And Rodgers will be here in the summer, barring some catastrophic finish..

Advice on the DX sensor format needed
I have been shooting a manual focus camera until now, and am getting ready to make the transition to autofocus. Given the fact that I am starting from scratch, I am trying to take into consideration as much as I can in commiting to a system, especially the likely possibility that I will be getting a digital body in the near future. Although I am a Nikon guy at heart, I am concerned about Nikon using the DX format sensor as their standard size for their digital cameras. I am mainly someone who is interested in wide-angle photography, so the DX format is a hindrance to me, as well as being frustrating generally. As such, I welcome any input on the following questions:
1.) Is there any indication that Nikon would be likely to eschew the DX sensor size in favor of a full frame sensor? I have read reports that Nikon is committed to the DX format; this seems to make sense taking into account the fact that Nikon is now producing DX lenses. On the other hand
2.) For someone principally interested in wideangle photography, is it justified to jump ship with Nikon (i don't want to...) and go to the other company because they are embracing the full frame sensor? I really like the idea of having the same focal length to film size view ratio between a film and digital body.
3.) Am I overly critical of the DX sensor size?
Thank you ahead of time for everyone's input.
#1. "RE: Advice on the DX sensor format needed" | In response to Reply # 0avm247 Charter MemberThu 26-Feb-04 09:38 PM
First and foremost, Welcome to Nikonians!
Now then, I'm no expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but you did ysay that you would welcome "any input."
1) I think Nikon's latest press release clarified that for the time being, the AFS sized sensor will be the standard, as that makes the most sense currently. A full frame sensor seems to have shortcomings. Most comments on the F-6 are rumors, so I won't go there.
2) Kodak does produce a FF sensor camera body with the Nikon F-mount. The Pro 14n, and there is the just announced Pro SLR/n that should be replacing it. Nikon's DX lenses put you right back in there with respect to 35mm focal length lenses: The 12-24DX is equivelent to an 18-35; the yet to be released 18-70DX is equiv to a 27-105. The 10mm DX fisheye is equiv. to the 16mm.
The reality is that these are different formats, just as 35mm is a different format from 2-1/4. You just need to get used to the different focal lenghts. Yes I understand that perspective doesn't change with the 1.5x multiplier, just the apparent angle of view is cropped.
3) Are you being overly critical? Only you can answer that. There are photographers here that said they needed FF, 16MP cameras to even be interested in a DSLR. Those same photographers are very happy with their D100's, S2's, D1X's, D1H's and D2H's. Personally, I wouldn't jump ship. I don't like the other guys' interface, it just isn't fit me. The copier company always releases three new bodies to fix something wrong, where as the Nikon releases one and gets it right. (Just look at the D100 vs. the D30, D60, 10D; the D70 vs. the DRebel - the copier co. dropped that one - of course they're selling like hot cakes because its available NOW.)
Technology is changing everyday. The camera today will be "obsolete" a couple of months from now. So will your computer. So what. It's just a tool. A camera now gives you the opportunity to shoot NOW, not waiting on the sidelines.

The DX sensor size clearly presents issues given the existing line of lenses, mostly because very few lenses have been built strictly for digital SLRs. Wait a couple of more years, and you'll see more digital only optics which will satisfy your wide-angle requirements, hopefully at a lower cost than what DX-lenses cost today.
#3. "RE: Advice on the DX sensor format needed" | In response to Reply # 2StevenVW Registered since 20th Aug 2002Fri 27-Feb-04 06:26 AM
I heard that the reason Nikon chose the DX format, is because the full frame sensor show too much the shortcomings of today's wide-angle lenses. It makes much more sense to invest in the development of ultra-wide angle lenses that still provide a reasonable angle of view on a DX sensor.
#4. "RE: Advice on the DX sensor format needed" | In response to Reply # 3Covey22 Charter MemberFri 27-Feb-04 03:04 PM
True - traditional wide-angle optics revealed the weaknesses of digital FF - particularly at corner and edge aspects. But the development of dual-use optics (both film and digital) is occurring with the third-party manufacturers only (Sigma's notable 12-24 FF and Tamron's Di series). Nikon's roadmap seems filled with future DX-type lenses only.
#5. "RE: Advice on the DX sensor format needed" | In response to Reply # 3mgsylvestre Registered since 27th Jan 2003Fri 27-Feb-04 03:08 PM
I suggest you ponder the economics of it a little.
Producing FF sensors is currently extremely expensive, and so are the cameras which incorporate them. You can solve the format "problem" with just one DX lens, the 12-24DX, which is a lot cheaper than going FF at this point.
Only time will tell whether the DX/APS format is going to stick or not. Many people seem convinced that it is only a matter of time until FF cameras can be produced at reasonable costs and that it will not be possible to bring the APS sized sensors to the level of pixel dimensions that the market will eventually stabilise around.
From my perspective however, shelling out around USD $8,000 or more today for FF is just not justifiable. If things evolve in the FF direction, which remains to be seen, you'll conceivably be able to get a FF camera of better quality than what is available today for the price of a D-100 or even less in a few years at the rate things are evolving.

Using a spatially and temporally extensive monitoring database of fish populations (France), we modelled the occurrence of species as a function of several climatic and habitat variables and projected species distributions across the whole of the French hydrographic network. The benefits of occupancy models were then assessed from the differences in both predictive performance and species distribution.ResultsWe found that although the occupancy models enhanced the performance for difficult to detect species, consensus models outperformed occupancy models for highly detectable species. In contrast to the minor differences observed in performance measures, estimates of species distributions were severely affected by whether or not imperfect detection was accounted for and varied linearly according to species detectability.Main conclusionsThis study demonstrated that false absences could have major consequences in estimating species distribution ranges. However, accounting for imperfect detection may not be enough to improve conventional SDMs. These findings could have important implications for conservation, notably in developing large-scale distribution models and documenting species range shifts in the context of recent climate change.

Skip to comments.Bernie Goldberg to OReilly: Tea Partiers Are the Real RINOs in the GOP
Posted on 11/12/2013 12:10:28 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Bernard Goldberg joined Bill OReilly Monday night to address what he believes is a potentially fatal split in the Republican partys immediate future. He said that if the tea party keeps rejecting anyone who isnt basically Ted Cruz for the 2016 presidential nomination, the partys going to be in some big trouble and invite in a strong Democratic victory.
OReilly framed the fight as a classic moderate Republican versus hard-right Republican feud, and Goldberg rejected the ideological rigidity of people who will sit on their hands and refuse to vote for a Republican presidential nominee if they arent sufficiently conservative enough. And this is what led Goldberg to accuse these tea partiers of being the real RINOs in the GOP.
As far as the tea partiers are concerned, anybody to the left of Ted Cruz is a RINO but you know what? The real RINOs are the real people in the tea party and on the hard right, because they have made it clear over and over again that their allegiance is not to the Republican party, but to their particular brand of conservatism, so theyre the RINOs.
OReilly suggested Cruz, if he ran, could rally the nation behind him if Obamacare continues to be a disaster, but Goldberg said anything short of horrendously bad will not be enough to help them. He also warned that if someone like Cruz gets the nomination, every registered Democrat will vote, and thats a recipe for a Democratic victory?
Watch the video below, via Fox News:
M'Gawd that's just stoopit.
The Republican Party is dead. It committed suicide by rat poison.
Better get someone in to cart off the carcass before it stinks up the house.
The positions of the Tea Party are within the Republican platform while RINO's are not.
The GOP has become a "straw man" for Democrat/Progressives. Bernie Goldberg is speaking for the Vichy-Republicans again. We tried it with the Moderate "electable" people and we got Mitt, John McCain and Bob Dole—maybe, we need to try something new. Now they are pushing Christie down our throats as the Only guy who can beat Hillary or who ever the Democrats come up with. If we are going to lose to the Democrats—lets try Ted Cruz and Mike Lee? Trump and Palin? Lets not let the Carl Roves and Goldbergs or Krauthammers pick our people again! I say we bolt the party and switch to another! Whigs? Conservative, Reform, etc...
"...Goldberg rejected the ideological rigidity of people who will sit on their hands and refuse to vote for a Republican presidential nominee if they arent sufficiently conservative enough."
Hmmm... Aren't these elected folks SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT the PEOPLE VOTING for them????????
These idiots have it turned around 180 degrees! -We're supposed to vote them in to let THEM tell US how it is!
Time for the pitchforks, people!
That's tagline material right there...
Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial. Since the Democrat party is really a collection of interest groups it is not so dependent on arriving at either a candidate or a platform which embraces all its adherents. African-Americans will vote in the 90 percentile for the Democrat candidate whenever the chips are down, the Chris Christie election in New Jersey to the contrary notwithstanding. The model to watch is the Terry McAuliffe victory in Virginia.
Add to the African-American block the Hispanic block, the public service unions, the gays, the Jews, unwed females with children, and you have a formidable and virtually unshakable coalition.
In addition to this factor, the Democrat party maintains discipline through its finances. That is particularly clear among elected Democrat officials. David Horowitz has demonstrated in his blog, Shadow Government, that much of this money is controlled by very few hands and two of those hands belong to George Soros. A maverick Democrat politician faces a dubious future indeed if bucks this system. Not only will he be be defunded for reelection but he will find himself in the wilderness looking in vain for a sinecure.
On the Republican side we see Karl Rove trying to impose the same kind of discipline on behalf of Rinos and we see grassroots resistance that is not apparent in the Democrat party. In fact, the Democrats are able by bully tactics to extort money from what used to be Republican supporters, such as Wall Street and now Main Street.
So we have grave lack of discipline on the Republican side coupled with a vulnerability because the party is not built on blocks but built retail on individuals.
Bernie Goldberg commits the sin of most media types, he equates by resort to relativism the Rinos and the Tea Party. The Rinos have been in control of the party for years and they have consistently lied to the base and disdained the base. Which brings us to the next problem which faces Republicans, whether Rino or Tea Party.
The media will consistently portray the Republican Party as extremist and they will consistently portray the tea party as the extremist wing of the Republican Party. They will not, for example, describe Barack Obama as a radical Marxist. There is clearly an unequal treatment of these players in the media which manifests itself, for example, in permitting the Democrats to choose the issues upon which the election will be decided. So we have the Virginia gubernatorial election decided on the issue of condoms.
The media will do the same to Tea Party candidates as it does to Republican candidates generally. Consider that the media uniformly presented to the public the fixed conclusion that it was the Republicans and especially Ted Cruz and the Tea Party who shut down the government.
On this tilted playing field the Tea Party must prevail against the Rinos and then prevail against the Democrats and that is a daunting prospect. The media, like Bernie Goldberg, create much of the problems described here and then label The Tea Party as radical because it will not submit to them.
Which would be the brand of conservatism that intends to destroy communists that just stole the middle class taxpayers disposable income via Obamacare, the CPUSA, and anybody who is allied with them, including the parasites that vote for them and their fellow travelers in both parties.
These DC insiders have no idea of the shitstorm on the horizon.
Eff the commies and smash the system that lets them run roughshod over American values
Anyone who isnt prepared to go to DC to fight the the communists is a sworn enemy of the working taxpayer and must be destroyed.
That includes the GOP-e greedy blue blood country clubbers and their greedy pulled back wives, and any other sorry son of a bitch who thinks campaign commercials are going to beat those who intend to go to DC not to work with the communists and reform the syetem, but to destroy the communists and smash the system.
The first of a series on the Communist conspiracy and its influence in this country as a whole, on religion, on education, on labor and on our government
^^No Communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become President of the present government. When a Communist heads the govern- ment of the United States and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises the government will not he a capitalist government hut a Soviet government, and hehind this government will stand the Red army to enforce the dictatorship of the proletariat,
Sworn statement of WILLIAM Z. FOSTER
Head of the Communist Party in the United States
If you ever find yourself in open debate with a Communist the facts here given can be used to destroy his arguments completely and expose him as he is for all to see.
Every citizen owes himself and his family the truth about Com- munism because the world today is faced with a single choice: To go Communist or not to go Communist. Here are the facts.
1 . What is Com-munism? A system by which one small group seeks to rule the world.
2. Has any nation ever gone Communist in a free election?
No. 3. Then how do the Communists try to get control?
Legally or illegally, any way they can. Communisms first big victory was through bloody revolution. Every one since has been by military conquest, or internal corruption, or the threat of these.
CONSPIRACY is the basic method of Communism in countries it is trying to capture.
IRON FORCE is the basic method of Communism in countries it has already captured.
1 2. What would happen to my insurance? The Communists would take it over.
34. Where are their headquarters in the United States, and who is in charge?
Headquarters are at 35 East Twelfth Street, New York City. Wil- liam Z. Foster, of 1040 Melton Avenue, New York City, has the title of Chairman of the Communist Party of the United States, but Foster is actually just a figurehead under control of foreign operatives unseen by and unknown to rank and file Communists.
55. What is the emblem of the Communist Party in the United States? The hammer and sickle.
36. What is the emblem of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union? The hammer and sickle.
57. What is the flag of the Communist Party in the United States? The red flag, the same as that of all Communist Parties of the world.
49. What kind of people become Communists?
The real center of power in Communism is within the professional classes.
Of course, a few poor people respond to the Communist claim that it is a working class movement.
But taken as a whole the Party depends for its strength on the sup- port it gets from teachers, preachers, actors, writers, union officials, doctors, lawyers, editors, businessmen, and even from millionaires.
This primary season has to be about drawing lines and targeting GOP-E that is willing to work with the communists and turning the primary into a referendum on communists and their fellow travelers in the GOP.
Naming names.
Grassley will work with communists and needs to go.
Playing nice with the reds is no longer to be tolerated.
The whole RNC/GOP Washingtonian political class in DC needs to be decimated, this is revolution.
These people are delusional. Dont they see the GOPe already handed the democrates the antiracism card, the economy card under Bush1, the legal welcoming immigration card and a host of other things the GOP lost in credit via welfare for all.
The GOPe now plays bad cop for the left and for the right. The GOPe fails in playing bad cop for the left only and good cop for the right. They are imploding.
The media would do well to think about why it became subservient to one side.
It was the whip of islamic slaughter as much as the carrot of establishment baksheesh.
At one point, the whip will rule the day.
Speaking of Vichy.....I was just thinking about how they are almost at the stage of Capos.
"The first of a series on the Communist conspiracy and its influence in this country as a whole, on religion, on education, on labor and on our government"
The words of Nakita are ringing true:
"You Americans are so gullible. No, you wont accept communism outright; but well keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We wont have to fight you; we will so weaken your economy until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.
Well, where is the Aw Geez guy when you need him?
It's all our fault because we want a candidate who even gives a scrap of hope that someone will pay attention the the Constitution?
Well, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for most anything.
OK, so let's leave the Republicrat Party. Let the fans of Jerry Ford, George Bush, and Dick Nixon have it. To hell with them.
I can tell O'Reilly and Goldberg that this lifelong Republican will NO LONGER VOTE IN ANY ELECTION. I'm through with this country and if i could take all my assets and go somewhere else, I'd do it.
All I know is that right now, people like Goldberg, O'Reilly, Rove and all the rest of the GOPe are ringing some bells that can't be unrung.
If they want to lose several million conservatives right off the bat, just keep it up. They'll have to work all the harder appeasing illegals, gays, minorities and 'independents' just to make of the difference - if they could even do that.
Frankly, I'm sick of all of them. I just know I'm not going to vote for one again.
I reject the ideological rigidity of Jonah, GOP and "moderates" who will sit on their hands and not support anyone who does not pass the liberal purity test. Ken Cuccinelli being the latest example.

Very impressive narrative. Someone is bright eyed and wide awake at this ungodly hour.
I've been keeping my eye out for another country as well.
"...and you have a formidable and virtually unshakable coalition."
Yes, right up until the guys writing the checks every tax quarter stop doing so...And that is what it is going to take to "shake" them.
Fear God - Not Man!!
Your base is gone.
Obviously, by the continuous attacks upon them, the Tea Party has a ligiment place in politics and pose a huge threat to the survival of the RINO's and also the demodummies. No doubt, the Republican party is a thing of the past and no longer demonstrates what they were originally founded for. The Rino's need to be replaced by people who will once again forge conservatism.
Right now, the only thing holding the Tea Party back is a common leader and that person will soon surface, its just a matter of time.
Just think of the possibilities......
Time for ALL conservatives to RUN for the exits vis a vis the Republican party...let the RINOs try to attain power in competition with a truly conservative party...they wouldn't stand a chance.
On a side note - other than talk radio and Free Republic, I have heard nothing on how the GOPe did not support the conservative in Virginia. Actually helped the dem. Reminds me of the scene in the movie Signs, where Mel Gibson is trying to explain Gods will and coincidence to his brother. At the end he states - we're on our own. That is how I feel.
Stay in the Party and at least vote in the primaries. That is where you can be the biggest nuisance to the GOPe. If your guy doesn't win in the primary blow off the general.
Another faker exposed.
My rule of thumb is that where a pundit or pol stands on Sarah Palin is a good indicator as to whether they are conservatives at all—or the usual GOPe-type fakers.
By that measure, Bernie Goldberg was actually exposed at least as far back as 2010:
The biggest threat to the UniParty are the primaries....
I have often said that RINO is an inaccurate term. When Conservatives see Republicans acting like Republicans instead of being conservative we call them RINOs. They aren't Republicans in Name Only, they are real Republicans. That's how Establishment Republicans are-—always. If you want to insult some mushy, middle of the road moderate call him a Republican not a RINO. In that sense oldberg is correct, Conservatives are RINOs. They call themselves Republican because there is no viable alternative party, but they are actually Conservatives. This Conservative would like to abolish the term RINO and replace it with the term Squish.
Sorry Bernie, but watch this conservative sit on his thumbs if the Fat Man is the nominee. No more Dem Lites for me. None. Never again. I'll choose the Samson Option over the GOPe.
It's Bernie, not Jonah.....Jonah is Lucianne's son
Head explodes!
O'Reilly allows/encourages talking excrement heads like Bernie to say junk like this!......just furious
THIS is their meme till the election.....Ted Cruz...far right....can't win the election.
This is the path 'they' will go down and this is the path to destruction.
Who needs shrill Democrat talking heads when a Bernie Goldberg will do....(or is he Democrat too)
"of people who will sit on their hands and refuse to vote for a Republican presidential nominee if they arent sufficiently conservative enough."
The part that sticks out: "if they arent sufficiently conservative enough" could better be written as: "if the are traitorous democrat wannabe's".
Just why in the hubs of hell would any rational person want to vote for someone trying to be the identical twin of their enemy??????
The Democrats crucify anyone straying from their ranks, why can't conservatives?
Another sidenote to Krispy Kreme. What these two idiots - BOR and Goldberg - fail to take into account is the New York press. I bet anyone a dollar to a donut that the NY Times has a file on Christie about as thick as he is. They will cheer him on for the nomination and once he gets it, all kinds of excrement will hit the fan. He will not know what hit him. They did the same thing to that guy Bush put up for DHS Secretary - the guy who was head of NY Police. The NY press probably does this all the time.
In the *moment* a new party is established, with Cruz or Palin or both on the ticket, the GOP is history. And so, for that matter, are the dems.
And as luck would have it, the new party establishment infrastructure has already been set in place, with Palin's State campaign orgs, which have probably not been completely idle.
Better use what you have, gents, while you still have the freedom to vote. It will be gone soon enough.
I've been saying this for a while now. The term "RINO" is not accurate. The vischy republicans own the republican party. Squishy, socialism-lite is what the party "stands" for. The people we oppose are actually "CINO", that is Conservative In Name Only. Folks like McCain, or Perry talk up their 'conservativeness' in the run up to elections, then switch back to form once the election is over.They are republicans, but CINO. Anyone who was paying attention to Virginia will know that the republican party is not on our side, and never really has been.
When you look hard enough, it all comes down to crony capitalism. Both sides play this games, because it makes them millionaires. The leviathan government that has been thrust upon us exists because in such a government, it is easy to reward your friends and punish your enemies. Look at Obama. He has taken crony capitalism to an extreme, yet the vast majority haven't even noticed.
"Tea Partiers Are The Real Rinos In The GOP"
I don't take issue with that particular statement, because it's correct. What does "RINO" stand for, anyway? "Republican In Name Only." Well, we know what the GOP is: a bunch of statist quislings. We have nothing in common with them, and we are, in fact, conservatives, not Republicans. THEY are Republican, not conservative.
As I have said before, either a new third party or primary all RINOs. If the RINOs still win, vote for the DEMOCRAT. This will guarantee a loss for the RINOs. The Conservatives will now control the smaller Republican party and can shape it how they want.
We must play hardball. Change is hard, but you have to START before you can win.
One wonders if we need to rename Fox News, Republican News.
Call me whatever you want, but seems like it might be sinking in finally.
That is good tag material.

Bible Studies
Comments (4)
This isn't what you asked, but I honestly don't have any recommendations. Have you looked for an Awana group near you? They usually have weekly meetings and work on memorizing scripture and doing stories and things. Here we start with 3 year olds, but some start at age 2. You might be able to get your hands on the Awana material and that might work for you. Or maybe search Christian preschool crafts and use those instead of a study - DD (3) and I have learned through some crafts - the resurrection garden at Easter was a huge hit.

Do you have a children's Bible? A quality one?
My parents used to do "Keys for Kids" with us as children. I don't know if they're still in publication, but for those of non-denominational theology they work well. They also loved a book that had devotions around animal stories and facts, they were these huge hardcover books... wish I could remember the name!
Right now we use a combination of the Catechism, "The Story Bible," "My First Hymnal," and "Treasury of Daily Prayer" piecemealed together for our evening "small chapel" (words of DD#3).

Product Description
Clone Wars was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, whose resume includes such stylish series as Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, and The Powerpuff Girls, and the program won a 2004 Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour or More). These 20 episodes, which played on the Cartoon Network (and were originally designated seasons 1 and 2), can be viewed as a seamless 69-minute whole or as individual chapters. DVD features include two commentary tracks, a making-of featurette, video game and Episode III trailers, and an Xbox playable demo of the stealth game Republic Commando. If you're a fan who can't wait for Episode III, Clone Wars is essential viewing. --David Horiuchi

Like most fans of Genndy Tartakovsky, I was hyper-ventilating when I heard that he was going to be creating Star Wars cartoons. The man had already proved time and again with Dexter's Lab and the Powerpuff Girls (to say nothign of Samurai Jack), just how tight, slick, mesmerizing (and just plain cool!) action sequences could be in modern cartoons.
Like those shows, the Star Wars cartoons were at first to be only a few minutes in length. "Oh no!", thought many. "How can you tell Star Wars in a space of a minute or two!?". Well, it just so happens that these guys specialize in making minutes count like no other, creating dramatic tension in seconds instead of minutes, and thowing elaborate fights at you right and left, smoothly flowing from one episode to another.
Of course when I saw these awesome cartoons on television I kept telling myself that I HAD to have them on DVD. For animation of this brilliance, the crystal-clear quality of DVD was just an absolute must. The wait HAS been worth it.
While the original flow the show had to be changed (each episode doesn't end in a dramatic musical moment and there are no lightning-fast preveiws of the next episode to grab your attention), these changes were neccisary to make the cartoon episodes flow smoothly in one continuous story arc.
In fact, I'd say I like the DVD version better. In place of individual episodes with beginnings and endings, we have one episode changing to another with screen-wipes (an old Star Wars standby that works to great effect here). The sparkling transfer and high-fidelity sound really add to your enjoyment of the show. And the two short documentaries (and the two commentaries!Read more ›
I don't want to be excited about Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, I really don't. Lucas' last two movies have dulled what was a bright spot of my childhood.
So why am I watching the old movies (yes, even Episodes I & II), reading Labyrinth of Evil and playing Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy?
Somehow excitement about Star Wars stuff is just hard-wired into me, no matter how much Jar Jar you throw in.
Thankfully, Genndy Tartakovsky and crew have given me a new hope (pun intended) with the beautifully conceived Clone Wars, Vol. 1.
Airing originally on Cartoon Network and bridging Episodes II & III, Tartakovsky's animated shorts have the goods. Twenty episodes follow Anakin, Obi-Wan and a host of other Jedi as they wage the long awaited Clone Wars.
There's plenty to keep Star Wars aficionados happy. Memorable quotes include a few "I've got a bad feeling about this" and a nice homage to Vader with Anakin commenting "I have you now" with an enemy in his ship's sites. I'd have loved to have seen a nice stormtrooper head bumping, but what are you gonna do.
The episodes that impressed me most included the Kit Fisto underwater battle (this makes Aquaman look like a punk), the Mace Windu sequence (although I could have done without the doe-eyed anime child onlooker), and the hissing lightsaber duel in the rain between Anakin and Asajj Ventress.
George, buddy, take a cue from Clone Wars! Less political wrangling about separatists and more cool stuff like this that made Star Wars great in the first place.
(BTW, check out the latest episodes on Cartoon Network and at StarWars.com. You get to see C3PO showing off his new bod!)

When the user is connected the submit button Changes from "Submit" to saying "Submit Query" How can I remove "Query" from the string.
If you search for the function "setup_feedform" in fbconnect.js you'll see where the new input button is created. It doesn't set any explict name on the button so I think "Submit Query" must be a default.
Try adding something like
subbutton.setAttribute('value', 'Submit')
where the button is being setup. I'll make this change in the next version. Thanks!
Anyone else having issues posting comments with this plugin? I'm getting the comment sent back to my Facebook profile, but the comment will not post to the blog and the Facebook Connect container for the status publication will not close. I have done a small edit to fbconnect.js as detailed above to make the form appear the same to Facebook Connect users as it does to normal logged in users by adding 'value' and 'id' setattributes.
This page on my test installation demonstrates the issue, probably much better than how I've explained it: http://www.globalf1.net/wordpress-development/2006/04/30/gf1w-promo/ ;)
Ignore my previous comment - I hadn't noticed the comment in the javascript file regarding the id attribute for the submit button. Oops!
@ ahupp
If I make that change to the .js file, how do I get it to follow the same formatting from the theme?
Without using FB connect, it's a regular submit button with a green box background. But when a user logs in with FB connect, it seems to be a default submit button of some sort.
Is there a way to make it follow the CSS from the theme?
@ ahupp
.... to add to my previous question, I have just noticed that it the plugin adds its version of the submit button directly below the original submit, therefore having two of them.
Any advices on what I should do?
I use an image instead of text in my regular commentform... would it be possible to call the image throught this feature?
For those of you that had problems with publishing feed stories that bug is fixed in version 1.1.1.
@jasonCWms, vefritid,
There are some changes in the most recent version (v1.1.1) that should resolve this issue. The reason we have to modify the submit button in the first place is that the default theme (and many derived from it) has a bug that gives the submit button an attribute name="submit". This makes the .submit() function on the form become the button, and prevents the plugin from working.
If you make sure the submit button has some other name (e.g. name="submit_button") the button won't be touched by the plugin at all.
You can download the new version here:

Each year about 485,000 people leave high school before they get a diploma. Students drop out for myriad reasons: They struggle in classes, have personal or family obligations, don't see the connection between school and their lives or, quite simply, the school environment has become unsupportive. A new report examines the use of blended learning as a strategy for pulling these students, aged 16 to 24, back into high school for completion or an equivalent credential.
Effective classroom technology initiatives should include instruction on digital citizenship, according to a new white paper from NetRef, a provider of Internet management tools.
A national nonprofit has created a series of free Web-based surveys that schools and districts can use to assess the climate of their schools.
A recent survey found that half of school districts believe they've completed their 1-to-1 initiatives and the infrastructure required; and almost 4 in 10 (38 percent) are planning to or will definitely "modernize" in the next 12 to 24 months. More districts also have digital content and curriculum strategies in place this year compared to last year — up from 49 percent to 62 percent. Another 33 percent of districts have one under development. More than half of those existing strategies incorporate the use of open educational resources.
Global sales of wearable devices will top 10 million this year, up 32.8 percent over 2015, according to a new forecast from International Data Corp.
Now that more control over education decisions is being handed back to the states with passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act, they need to be "thoughtful" in how they design their education systems to make sure every student's growth is taken into account, said a new report by an education organization that advocates for personalized learning.
Teacher prep reform efforts are misguided, according to a new study. "Teacher preparation has emerged as an acutely politicized and publicized issue in United States education policy and practice, and there have been fierce debates about whether, how, by whom and for what purposes teachers should be prepared," according to the report.
More than half of America's newest teachers believe that an infusion of technology in their classrooms could help them be more efficient. They also tend to be "comfortable" with major areas of teaching responsibilities according to a survey of 2,886 new and more experienced teachers done last fall by Simba Information and MCH Strategic Data.
Educational technology can help students develop social and emotional learning skills such as collaboration, communication and problem solving, which are critical factors for success in the 21st century job market, according to a new report from the World Economic Forum, prepared in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group.

Median filters are probably the most widely used of the noise suppression filters that are commonly applied to digital images. They are vastly superior to mean filters since the latter are well known to blur images as well as removing noise. Median filters do not suffer from this disadvantage. Although median filters do not blur images, it has been found that they can cause a certain amount of image distortion by shifting edges (Davies 1997). This paper reviews previous work on the computation of shifts produced by mean, median and mode filters using continuum models. The paper proceeds to show how, in the case of median filters, it can be extended using discrete models to give more accurate predictions that are in line with experimental measurements
