A suggestive interface for 3D drawing
Graphical user interface
In computing, a graphical user interface (GUI, commonly pronounced gooey) is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices using images rather than text commands. GUIs can be used in computers, hand-held devices such as MP3 players, portable media players or gaming devices, household appliances and office equipment.
more from Wikipedia
Drawing is a form of visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals. An artist who practices or works in drawing may be called a draftsman or draughtsman. A small amount of material is released onto the two dimensional medium, leaving a visible mark.

3D computer graphics
3D computer graphics (in contrast to 2D computer graphics) are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be stored for viewing later or displayed in real-time. 3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector graphics in the wire-frame model and 2D computer raster graphics in the final rendered display.
more from Wikipedia
Thumbnails are reduced-size versions of pictures, used to help in recognizing and organizing them, serving the same role for images as a normal text index does for words. In the age of digital images, visual search engines and image-organizing programs normally use thumbnails, as do most modern operating systems or desktop environments, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, KDE and GNOME.
more from Wikipedia
Usability is the ease of use and learnability of a human-made object. The object of use can be a software application, website, book, tool, machine, process, or anything a human interacts with. A usability study may be conducted as a primary job function by a usability analyst or as a secondary job function by designers, technical writers, marketing personnel, and others.
more from Wikipedia
User interface
The user interface, in the industrial design field of human¿machine interaction, is the space where interaction between humans and machines occurs. The goal of interaction between a human and a machine at the user interface is effective operation and control of the machine, and feedback from the machine which aids the operator in making operational decisions.
more from Wikipedia
Game engine
A game engine is a system designed for the creation and development of video games. The leading game engines provide a software framework that developers use to create games for video game consoles and personal computers.
more from Wikipedia
A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication in which visible bodily actions communicate particular messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel with spoken words. Gestures include movement of the hands, face, or other parts of the body. Gestures differ from physical non-verbal communication that does not communicate specific messages, such as purely expressive displays, proxemics, or displays of joint attention.

What is your favourite Margaret Mahy book?

International tributes for Margaret Mahy are rolling in as news of her death spreads.
Mahy, 76, died in Christchurch yesterday after being diagnosed with cancer in April.
In an obituary in The Guardian, Mahy was described as one of New Zealand's "most acclaimed literary figures".
Fellow New Zealand children's author Judy Corballis, who is based in London, told The Guardian it was a "huge loss".
"She was only 76, we might have expected another 10 years," Corballis said.
"There was such scope and depth in what she did.
"She confronted any topic in her writing, particularly for older children, and she had a tremendous sense of fun, underpinned by a very high intelligence. She was interested in science, in the nature of death - all sorts of things. She was very widely read."
Both the Washington Post and the Huffington Post ran tributes to Mahy and Australia's the Herald Sun detailed her work.
Prime Minister John Key this morning expressed his sorrow.
Key said Mahy's books, short stories and contributions to the New Zealand School Journal hade been part of children's lives for generations.
"She is widely acknowledged as one of this country's finest authors, and one of the world's greatest writers of children's and young adults' stories."
Her stories were translated into many languages and resonated with children worldwide, said Key.
Key also extended his condolences to the Mahy's family and friends.
Mahy was awarded the Order of New Zealand in 1993. She won the Carnegie Medal in 1982 and 1984, making her the first writer outside Britain to receive the award. In 2006 she was awarded the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award for her enduring work.
Her daughter Penny Mahy, and her sisters Bridget and Helen, were at her side when she died at the Nurse Maude Hospice in St Albans just after 3pm.
"It was very special," Penny Mahy said.
"We're all in shock. Despite the fact we've known it was inevitable, it's still a shock when it actually happens. We're trying to group together as a family.
"We're hoping we'll take a lot of comfort in that."
"She was peaceful in the end," her daughter said.
Penny Mahy, said her mother's passing was a "double whammy", after the author's younger brother Frank died unexpectedly on Saturday.
She had "one or two [books] in the pipeline" when she died.
"She just had such an enormous output.
"Even in her last few months when she was suffering and in a bit of pain she would say 'oh, that could be an idea for a story'.
Even in her last weeks she still had an eye for a story. It was so much part of her and central to who she was."
The family received copies of one of Mahy's final works, The Man from the Land of Fandango, last week.
Penny Mahy described her mother as "quite eccentric".
"She was a weirdo at school. She used to have a lot of fantasies.
"I think it did sort of mark her as being a bit special."
Award-winning author and literary professor Bill Manhire said the literary community would mourn Mahy's passing for some time.
"I think she was loved at the same level that Sir Edmund Hillary was. She's right up there as one of the great icons of New Zealand."
Her imagination set her apart from her peers, both at home and overseas, Manhire said.
Mahy was a bigger name internationally than many people realised and would not look out of place on the same pedestal as famous authors Katherine Mansfield and Janet Frame, he said.
"I think people will mourn Margaret's death but at the same time they will celebrate her work. So she's not going to die at all really, she'll live forever.'
Fellow author Steve Evans said his friend "had a great feeling for people".
"She was outside the box.
"I knew her back when she was working at Canterbury Public Library.
"She was just wonderful with children. She had this gift. She would read them stories and later she would put on this crazy wig.
Literary blogger Graham Beattie called her one of New Zealand's greatest-ever writers.
"I put her up there with Katherine Mansfield," he said.
Mahy wrote more than 200 books and poems and won many prestigious children's book awards, including the Carnegie Medal, and was the only New Zealander to receive the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
Last year she won the New Zealand Post Children's Book of the Year award for The Moon & Farmer McPhee with Dunedin illustrator David Elliot.
Mahy was made a member of the Order of New Zealand - the highest of the country's honours and open to only 20 living people at one time - in 1993.

This study presents a stochastic-based approach to evaluate the probabilistic transient stability indices of a power system incorporating wind farms (WFs). In this context, investigations have been conducted on a hypothetical test system representing a typical power system taking into consideration the uncertainties of the factors associated with the practical operation of a power system, namely fault type, fault location, fault impedance, fault clearing process, system parameters and operating conditions and high-speed reclosing process. The effects of the WF sizes and locations on the overall system stability have been investigated. Moreover, this study presents stochastic models for the wind turbine as well as the spring constant of the reduced two-mass shaft model of the wind generator. The time-domain simulations are obtained using the electro-magnetic transient programme.

8 reviews | 3.1 out of 5
Over my many years I have always had Black & Decker toaster ovens. They have always pleased me both functionally and appearance-wise. Therefore, when my present oven failed after 6 years, I went shopping for another B&D Toaster Oven and purchased this one. When I unpacked it and turned it on, I was completely disappointed; it was tinny, unattractive and made of thin material. The parts rattled, and when I turned on the bake cycle, I came to really dislike this product. It made a terrible noise which I assume came from the convection mechanism. All-in-all, a very poor product. I then shopped and found a very satisfactory oven from another manufacturer and for less money. I can only hope that Black & Decker will some day regain its former product quality.
Easy to use with good size interior. Fits easily on counter top under upper cabinet.
it is what I expect and needed
I bought this unit for baking small bundt cakes since I live alone. I don't trust the old oven in my studio kitchen and wanted something for light baking and toasting. I baked two individual size bundt cakes and they took twice as long to bake as they should have and still didn't come out well. I know how to bake and this unit just couldn't do the job. Toasts well enough, but I would have bought a toaster for that since I have such limited counter space in my tiny kitchen. Don't buy if you want to use it for any type of oven capability.
The settings are so small I need to use a magnifying glass when I select the temperature and settings. Also you cannot turn this on with a simple "on/off" switch. You need to use the timer, which is annoying. Would not recommend this oven.
Although it works.......its smaller than I expected.....in order for this oven to turn on you must activate the timer...this means you will hear a constant tic tic tic...when its running, it does however work...oh I said that already...6 slice don't count on it...4.5 or 5 maybe...
I've only used the "toast" function - which is what I bought it for - and it does a good job.

Benchmarking Stability of Aspect-Oriented Product-Line Decompositions
Product-line stability is essential to promote the longevity of its core assets and products. Even though modularity is a key principle to achieve stable product lines, many of their varying concerns are crosscutting. Aspect-oriented decompositions are aimed at fostering superior modularity of such crosscutting concerns. However, their ability to improve stability of product lines has been rarely tested and, as a consequence, their industrial adoption has been hindered. This paper presents a stability benchmark for aspect-oriented product lines. It allows characterizing, quantifying, and comparing product-line stability promoted by aspect-oriented and conventional variability mechanisms.

Each week, we'll take an in-depth look at our All-State preseason football team and let you know how a few of those athletes are faring as the season progresses. We'll highlight a blue-chipper (a first-team player), an OTP (other top player) and an under-the-radar pick (someone who didn't make the squad but is making a case to be on the team).
This week, a running back rushes for nearly 800 yards in two weeks, a quarterback puts the defending champs back on the map and a rusher puts together back-to-back big games.
Blue Chip: Drake Johnson, Pioneer, RB
There's no need to disguise rushes for Johnson, use him as a decoy or find creative ways to get him the football. He's going to get his yards and touchdowns pretty much any way you want him to. Johnson already has 1,396 yards on the ground this season and has scored 20 total touchdowns (19 rushing and one receiving). In the last two weeks he's rushed for 789 yards (394 last week, 395 and five touchdowns this week) to help Pioneer topple Temperance Bedford, 38-14.
OTP: Sean Charette, Lake Orion, QB
Remember when Lake Orion won the state title? For many football fans in Michigan, it's as if the Dragons won, then were subsequently wiped out of contention after a big loss to Oxford in the first week of the season. But Charette has picked the team up off the mat after that frustrating first-week loss. He has thrown for 15 TD passes and thrown only three interceptions this season, and he threw for two scores in Lake Orion's 17-7 win over Troy over the weekend, helping the Dragons to a 5-1 record.
Under the Radar: Michael Berry, Fordson, RB
Having a 3-2 record is precarious. With a 3-2 record you're either on your way forward or struggling to stay above .500. With his team needing a win, Berry made sure Fordson was moving forward this past weekend. He rushed for 319 yards on just 22 carries and scored four touchdowns to help his team earn a 35-16 victory over Edsel Ford and a 4-2 record. It was the second week in a row that Berry has gone off; last week he managed 284 yards and four more scores.

We are at the stage now where we are just getting back into exercising and trying to get off the last of our baby weight.
The procedure is really simple, we post a picture of ourselves on the scale (see pic below) and then, based on weight loss percentage, we are ranked in order from highest to lowest. Everyone pays 5-10$ (depending on what the group agrees upon) and then at the end of the challenge, the highest 3 ladies split the pot.
If anyone is interested, I can get it started for this group - it went so well for January that we did it 3 times. Please let me know if you are interested.

They have changed the date on their website three times now. There is NO phone number to call and you can only email them, which they do not reply to. I ended up disputing the registration fee on my credit card and got my money back.....
If I could give this run negative stars, I would. It was easily the worst organized, worst attended, worst event I have ever experienced. Obstacles were broken with nails sticking out. A slide with no water that landed directly into the dry dirt. It was as if someone had created the event without ever doing a mud run EVER. Stay away for your own safety!
Stay away from this race. This is either run by or affiliated with Ralph Avallone. Google "Ralph Avallone Military Service" to find a change.org petition that outlines most of his charity fraud (like representing himself as a charity and using collected money to travel for races). As long as Courage Challenge has any affiliation with Ralph Avallone, they are a run you should avoid.

A tracking device based on gas electron multiplier scintillation using a high-resolution cooled charge-coupled device (CCD) camera was developed. The CCD is sensitive to the 400-1000 nm band, and standard glass photographic lenses are used. The active gas is an Ar-CF4 mixture. The prototype detector is described and images of single alpha tracks are presented. The light yield and detector performance for several other gaseous mixtures, such as 4He-CF4, are also investigated

Oil Kingdom gets strict with money: KSA rolls out new financial rules
On 2 July 2012 the Saudi Council of Ministers issued a package of five new laws which many believe will dramatically change the finance market in the Kingdom.
These new laws have been anticipated for some time and are as follows:
1) The Execution/Enforcement Law
2) The Finance Lease Law
3) The Real Estate Mortgage Law
4) The Real Estate Finance Law
5) The Law on Supervision of Finance Companies.
Currently, copies of these laws are not yet published; however, The Minister of Finance has announced that they will take effect 90 days after the Royal Decree which was issued on 1 July 2012, although the earlier drafts of these laws indicated that they were to come into effect after 90 days from the date of publication in the Official Gazette.
See also: Saudi Arabia's new real estate, mortgage rules create 'a new financial sector'
The Minister of Finance has also announced that the implementing regulations of the Finance Laws (which is likely to refer to the Finance Lease Law, the Real Estate Finance Law and the Law on Supervision of Finance Companies) are to be drafted by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (the KSA Central Bank).
Hesham Al Homoud, the Head of Al Tamimi's Corporate and Commercial Department in Riyadhsaid, said, "The introduction of these new Laws has been keenly awaited for some time. A draft of the Real Estate Mortgage previously sighted by us, provided for the introduction of a system under which mortgages over Saudi land could be registered in favour of financiers and the registered mortgagee would have priority rights against third parties." He further added: "We also expect the other Laws included in the package to have a very significant impact upon the Finance Industry in KSA, both in terms of regulation and the way in which banks and other finance providers conduct business in KSA."

Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir has 133 square kilometres of forests land under encroachment, a state minister said here on Friday.
"The total area of the forests land is to the extent of 20,230 square kilometres in Jammu and Kashmir. Out of this 133.60 square kilometres is under encroachment in the state", Minister for forests Mian Altaf Ahmed said in a written reply to the question of Congress member Mohammad Sharief Niaz in the Assembly.
He further said that department has taken several measures to retrieve old encroached land.
"An area of 127.10 hectares of forests land has been retrieved from 2005 onwards in Jammu region and 987.01 hectares in Kashmir region had been evicted from encroachers from 2007 onwards", he said.
Besides, 13 attempts of fresh encroachments have been foiled and an area of 309 acres of forests land have been saved from clutches of land mafia in Jammu area, he said.
FIRs have been lodged against the culprits and forests land record is being updated and for this, the help of the revenue officials are also being obtained wherever necessary.
Awareness among the people is being created with the help of Village Forest Committees (VFCs) against the menace of encroachments, he said adding retrieved areas are taken up for the plantation after fencing on priority.
Jammu and Kashmir is the first state in the country to create forest protection force which is helping in protection of forests from all sorts of damages, including encroachments, he said.

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Katie Holmes in Current/Elliott
Although she's been getting some poor reviews from the critics for her latest projects, The Kennedy's and Son Of No One star, Katie Holmes, seemed to be in good spirits at Sundance. She attended the premier of her latest film, Son of No One, which also stars Channing Tatum. It seems like Katie has a lot of upcoming projects! Hopefully that means we'll see her in some great red carpet looks!
For the after party, Katie wore her Current/Elliott The Skinny jean in Loved with a top by Isabel Marant. This top matches her Isabel Marant polka-dot jeans perfectly. Buy Katie's Current/Elliott jeans at Shopbop.com for $206.00.
Reese Witherspoon in J Brand
Spending a relaxing Sunday with her family, Reese Witherspoon attended church before heading to brunch. Reese has certainly been busy since announcing her engagement! First, she was promoting her film in Europe and shopping for wedding dresses in Paris. Rumor has it that she stopped by quite a few Couture houses in Paris. Who do you think will design her gown?
Reese battled the rain with a pair of black leather boots, which looked great against her J Brand skinny jeans. Reese seems to have a great boot (and denim!) collection that I wouldn't mind sharing! You can buy J Brand jeans online at JBrandjeans.com.
Zac Efron in a Denim Shirt
Zac Efron was spotted doing some shopping at Urban Outfitters in Studio City, California. He was trying to dodge the paparazzi, but they were still able to get them. It looks like he was just having a play with them though.
He was wearing his favorite denim shirt. I don't think we have ever spotted someone wear their denim shirt, yet alone a single one, as many times as this one on Zac. It is a great one though. I think it has to be one of my favorite ones to spot. The other one would be the Current/Elliott one with sun fades.
Kourtney Kardashian in 7 For All Mankind Georgia Trouser Jeans
Kourtney Kardashian does some shopping with her sisters, Kim and Kendall. It looks like they're breaking Kendall in with their shopping habit! Kim tweeted, " "Eating lunch with my sisters, Masey, and friends! Couldn't be yummier and happier!" While I may not be the Kardashian's biggest fan, I love that they're all so close!
Coincidence or maybe not but both Kim and Kourtney rocked a 70s look with flare jeans and silk blouses. Kourtney wore 7 For All Mankind's Georgia Trouser jeans. Tons of celebrities have been seen in these jeans recently, Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba just to name a few! I have a feeling that these are going to be the 'It' jean of the season. What do you think? You can buy these jeans at Shopbop.com for $189.00.

Skip to comments.How the NRSC, Cornyn, Graham and Rove lost the GOP as many as five Senate seats
Posted on 11/06/2010 1:49:30 PM PDT by nhwingut
The National Republican Senatorial Committee spent $3 million in the week before the election on the ill-fated campaign of Carly Fiorina, despite polling that showed her trailing by 9 points to the tiny Marxist Barbara Boxer (Fiorina ended up losing by... 9.8%).
In the mean time, Ken Buck lost by a tiny margin in Colorado; Nevada's Sharron Angle lost by a similar narrow vote total, Dino Rossi was edged by Patty Murray in Washington, 27,000 votes swung the election against Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and and Joe Miller is hanging by a thread in Alaska.
In Alaska, the final results may not be known for some time, but the NRSC's final ads actually ended up helping Lisa Murkowski in her write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller. Instead of attacking Murkowski -- the candidate who most threatened the party's nominee -- the NRSC instead took aim at Democrat Scott McAdams, who had no chance of winning. Any support they drove from McAdams was far more likely to go to Murkowski than to Miller -- meaning the NRSC effort probably did more harm than good for Miller's campaign.
In other words, the NRSC's idiocy -- combined with outrageous remarks by Karl Rove on national television -- likely doomed four or five true conservative candidates to extinction.
In the post-election debrief, the Nixonian RINO contingent of Whimsy Graham, John Cornyn and the rest of the NRSC's ludicrous cadre of losers blamed... staunch conservative Jim DeMint, who had funded a handful of Tea Party-backed Senatorial winners like Pat Toomey (PA), Marco Rubio (FL), Rand Paul (KY), Mike Lee (UT) and Ron Johnson (WI).
Oh, but that $8 million spent on Fiorina's campaign didn't hurt at all -- right, boys?
(Excerpt) Read more at directorblue.blogspot.com ...
Very good analysis indeed. Imagine what Rossi could have done with some of that eight million.
"In other words, the NRSC's idiocy..."
It wasn't idiocy ... it was the ruling class in action. The Grand Old Potty needs to be reminded they work for us.
Delaware is a tiny state. 27,000 votes is a huge margin in Delaware.
When NRSC calls asking for donations, tell them you want your name removed from their phone and mail list.
If this was the result of a misinformation campaign by the RATS, I give them kudos.
John Kasich (very possible future president), Toomey, and many others who won across the states should thank Fiorina for taking on Boxer until the last days of the campaign!
A friend in Reno told me that in her neighborhood there were ONLY Angle signs until the dsy AFTER thre election, at which time Reid signs showed up.
A friend in Reno told me that in her neighborhood there were ONLY Angle signs until the dsy AFTER thre election, at which time Reid signs showed up.
Barbara Boxer was a tempting target due to her high negative ratings. Conservatives (myself included) didn't think that Californians who disliked Boxer would vote for her, but some of them clearly did.
Christine O'Donnell was not ready for prime time. She was a strong conservative running in an urban liberal state where Obama remains popular. In fact, she was so inept, she could be described as Katherine Harris on steroids. I don't like Mike Castle's record, but he would have waltzed into the Senate. I predicted disaster in Delaware if O'Donnell was the nominee and I take no joy in being right.
As for Alaksa, the NRSC's decision made sense in a way. Perhaps they hoped that liberals would react against the negative ads and swing from Murkowski to McAdams, handing Miller the election.
It's quite possible that some of the money spent for Carly Fiorina would have been a boon to Ken Buck and Dino Rossi. In retrospect, the NRSC was too hopeful about the prospects in California, but I can't condemm them for that because I was too.
As Rush so rightly pointed out, Graham & Lott, along with Cornyn, told us we needed to support RINOS: Fiorina, Crist, Castle, Bennet (Utah), Lowden (Nevada). Proving these guys know zilch. And I have had it with Rove. He's nothing but a Progressive Republican. His 15 Minutes is long since over. He needs to get the hell off the stage.
1 - A pathetic and disgusting Harry Reid will still be the face of the democrats in Congress.
2 If the pubbies took the Senate, Obama fully supported by his mediawhores - would run against a do-nothing-Congress.
3 Pubbies might have defacto control. Manchin cant support Obama, otherwise hes toast in 2 years. theres a dozen demholes in red or purple states up for re-election in 12. They wont be marching in lockstep with dear leader anymore. Ill bet now that the Repubs pick up another 6 seats in 2012.
4 the most important plus is this: Having 51 R seats would put too much power in the hands of RINO fools like Graham, McCain, Snowe, Collins, etc
Obama could easily pick-off any two of these losers on any given issue.
It was a great day. However, the Tea Party are the WINNERS. The RINOs got the boot along with the 'Rats. The NRSC screwed the pooch. The blame goes to the RINOs, not the Tea Party candidates.
Rove continues to gloat over being right about O'Donnell losing. Instead of helping her he did what he could to sabotage her and then taking credit for saying she would lose.
I think we should tell them every time why we are not supporting them via our $$$ anymore! Say it loud, clear and often. It's fun and it just might finally get through to them.
I'm pretty much as pissed at the Republican party as I am with the Democrats. The party as a whole sucks. I don't even tell people that I am a Republican anymore, I say I'm a conservative. Rove, Lott, Graham are a disgrace and even Steele and other high up leaders who are not quite as bad are still needed to be removed from their positions. From now on, anyone who even uses the term "compromise" is out as far as I'm concerned. We don't need the President to "work with us" we need to remove him from office.
That is the truth.
...and I'm saving this on my bookmarks and every time I see Palin cost us the Senate I'm putting this up....and the O'Donnell seat would not have cost us anyway with only 6 seats won.
That's because in reality it's global elites versus the people. The elites don't support the people, regardless of party.
There is one so-called Republican organization, the National Republican Senate Committee that I refuse to give one cent. This is controlled by a bunch of rich liberal Republicans who have no use for us regular American folk.
Very good points. Plus, with having to garner 60 votes in order to move a bill through the Senate, even with a Republican majority, the Dems would have made sure nothing the Republicans put forward would pass.
Just the same, I am disappointed at the poor campaigns run by Fiorina and Whitman here in CA. Boxer and Brown were so beatable. Both had high negative ratings. Fiorina's campaign was a joke.
" I know one thing: that $3 million spent in the final weeks on those five campaigns could have swung four or five seats to the GOP."
American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS spent 38 million running ads all over the country helping get Republicans elected nationwide.
No other group raised as much.
They coordinated with candidates and conservative groups and shared resources and strategy in a way that has never been done before by Republicans.
They plan on running ads during the lame duck session of Congress against the Democrats.
The two organizations are founded by Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie .
"One of this election cycle's major third party groups is announcing it will spend more than four million dollars in the next week
in its largest media buy of the season spread across eight of the key Senate battlegrounds.
In an effort to help elect Republicans in these races,
American Crossroads will spend almost $800,000
in Colorado and $350,000 in Nevada while its affiliate Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (GPS) is buying time in Illinois,
Washington state, Missouri,
Kentucky and Pennsylvania. "
the NRSC's final ads actually ended up helping Lisa Murkowski in her write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller. Instead of attacking Murkowski -- the candidate who most threatened the party's nominee -- the NRSC instead took aim at Democrat Scott McAdams, who had no chance of winning. Any support they drove from McAdams was far more likely to go to Murkowski than to Miller -- meaning the NRSC effort probably did more harm than good for Miller's campaign.This was not idiocy. It was intentional.
In other words, the NRSC's idiocy
I had not given a thought to that. Thank you for pointing that out.
How about realizing some of the candidates were not going to get elected no matter what.
If the respective campaign managers couldn't figure out how to run a winning campaign, maybe the issue is the manager himself. Sometimes the opposition just has better political talent.
Excellent. I concur with your analysis. I have no love for any RINO country club type, but what the heck? We won big. In the wake of such a great victory why start a bickering contest over what might have been?
Let's enjoy the huge victory and work to try and make greater gains against Democrats and the Republican establishment RINOs in '12.
They knew what they were doing-hedging their bets so that if 'Murk' won she wouldn't be mad at them.
In the late summer of 2009, Larry Elder went to Cornyn and the NRSC to solicit their support in running against Boxer. He was rejected in favor of Fiorina. I contend that Elder would have been both more energizing to the conservative base, drawn a larger minority vote and squelched liberal turn out. In short, he would have had a far better chance at winning.
By that reasoning, COD did a great job, since they has to spend a greal of resources in Del.
That stroker would rather be right than do right. It is all about him. A pox on'im.
In the future do not send any money to any National RINO Committee. Send the money but sent it straight to a real conservative. It would be far better to a RINO loose than to have a Fifth Column in our ranks working against us.
Amen, Brother!
I think the failure to get at least two more Senate seats was a disaster. If we win the presidency in 2012, we still need at least 60 votes in the Senate to break a filibuster of Obamacare repeal. As of today, we are 13 short, and I don't think we will get nearly that many in 2012.
Once the "benefits" start kicking in, it may be impossible to get rid of this monstrosity as there will be too many people dependent on it. Health care will be the way for the left to rule America forever. Even if it is not in power, its policies will still be in force. We are this close to being royally screwed for generations.
The article names some of the people we can thank.
*****Rove, Lott, Graham are a disgrace and even Steele and other high up leaders who are not quite as bad*****
I'm beginning to believe Michael Steele was used by Rove and others as the fall-guy. Steele could never match Rove's PAC and stop the internal backstabbing. The failure of GOP leadership to support conservative nominees, or stay neutral tripped and trapped Steele, causing RNC donations to plummet.
I don't know about 5, but they could have at least saved a couple of those if they weren't so RINO-ish.
I wrote something similar to this on Thursday.
As far as I am concerned come January we are on a two front war.
I want to wipe out to Benedict Arnold's even more than I want the democrats.
Vermin like this need eradication.
I see Roves name on the roster list and I will thump on him every chance I get.
I will send money directly to a democrat just to make a point.
Graham, Alexander NRSC, et all. Don't care.
This election should have been a tsunami that washed away any democrat hopes for staving off our demands and followed by an earthquake that flattened any thing left.
FUKR, FUMR, FULG, FULA and a very heartfelt FUNRSC.
That's 27,000 due in large part to that fat ass Karl Rove who just couldn't STFU on top of Castles shenanigans.
Even after the election that snide buffet eating over achiever couldn't top flapping his lips.
Friggin' sociopaths.
Delaware is a tiny state. 27,000 votes is a huge margin in Delaware.
There were about 197,000 votes cast for Coons/O'Donnell with Coons getting 174,000 of them giving him a win by almost 51,000 votes. You are correct that 27,000 votes is a big swing in that election.
Christine O'Donnell isn't an unknown in Delaware. She ran for the Senate in 2006 losing in the GOP primary and then entered the General election as a write-in. She then ran again in 2008 with no primary opponent against Biden. Then in 2010 she won the GOP primary against Castle and then lost to Coons in the General. She should have some name recognition with the voters after that many times on the ballot for the same position.
She maybe more of an asset in future elections by finding ways to help other candidates with their campaigns and helping educate the voting public as opposed to being the candidate herself.
Verdome is VerDONE! LOL
Based on your tag line and previous comment, should we call the hospital or undertaker?
I'll call a vet 'cuz you're having a cow.
Maybe he has the "muleskinner blues"?
Oh well, then we should give a pass to these A-holes.
Rove and the NRSC were not one bit helpful and may have been all they needed to undermine Christinne.
The RNSC blatantly said they would not support Christinne as did the state org.
These Plicks even sent sent Graham and Alexander down to support Crist for the sole purpose of knee capping Rubio.
Thankfully a good American with a real backbone won but not for any support he recieved by our so called vaunted leaders.
Dems in 2006 ran as Blue Dog Democrats. Many of these Democrats got elected in red states. That mask is completely exposed and they'll get destroyed by real conservatives.
Also with our tremendous successes in state legislatures and in Governor races, this creates a farm team for the future. These candidates will have actual records to run on instead of making these vanity runs at Congress.
Nope. O'Donnell lost by over 50,000 votes.
So much for "pretty good analysis."

Premier League Manager Sacking Odds
The Premier League Manager Sacking odds, interestingly has Manchester City boss, Mark Hughes to be the first to leave his post this season. Hughes is 4/1 to either leave or get the sack, but why he should be favourite is quite bewildering. It is probably because of the club's outrageous treatment of Sven Goran Eriksson last season and maybe Hughes could indeed be in for a similar fate. His odds are 4/1 which are quite short, particularly as the season has not even kicked off yet. Second in the betting is West Ham boss, Alan Curbishley.

He is 5/1 to be first out of a job but again the reasons can only be spurious. Curbishley, was not so long ago being tipped to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and although that is not likely to happen now, he is still a Manager with a good reputation and why West Ham would want rid of him or indeed he rid of them is not clear. A much more likely candidate to be first to get the boot is surely Paul Ince of Blackburn. There is already much speculation about dressing room dissent and at least two of Ince's signings, Robbie Fowler and now his former Captain at MK Dons, Keith Andrews, have had a bit of a gobsmacking effect on plaudits and fans alike. At 7/1 Ince is worth backing we think, especially if they get off to a bad start this weekend against Everton at Goodison ParkOdds currently are 4/1 Hughes, 5/1 Curbishley, 13/2 Megson, 7/1 Keegan, 7/1 Ince, 9/1 Moyes.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Financial Services Authority (FSA) will be scrapped on March 31 to reform a supervisory system that failed to spot the financial crisis coming, forcing Britain to bail out banks.
The new system gives regulators stronger powers to intervene early to stop the mis-selling of financial products seen over the past two decades.
The main elements are:
* Financial Policy Committee:
- Based at the Bank of England and chaired by the central bank's governor, its job is to spot system wide risks, such as property bubbles, before they destabilise the financial system.
- Sets overall tone for regulation and has powers to direct supervisors to raise capital levels at banks generally or in specific sectors like property to cool activity.
* Prudential Regulation Authority:
- New subsidiary of the Bank of England with its own chief executive, Andrew Bailey, and based in a separate building.
- Remit to make sure banks, insurers and building societies hold enough capital and abide by rules to curb bonuses.
* Financial Conduct Authority (FCA):
- A new body employing about 2,800 staff and headed by Martin Wheatley, based in the former FSA's building in London's Canary Wharf docklands.
- Ensuring all financial institutions and markets behave according to the rules and don't rip off consumers. It conducts enforcement cases with tougher powers and much higher fines.
- New power to ban products and warn the public early if it thinks a firm is not behaving. New power to appoint someone to report on a firm with the firm footing the bill.
- Remit to ensure there is enough competition in financial services, a new departure for a UK financial regulator. The FCA will be responsible for supervising consumer credit from 2014, widening its scope substantially.
