During what was surely the first ever Wimbledon match played during a severe thunderstorm, a stadium-rattling thunderclap gave Sabine Lisicki a jolt while she was preparing for a second serve:
Wimbledon's retractable roof debuted three years ago, just in time for an unexpected run of good weather during the fortnight. This year it's gotten a workout, being used in all but three days of the championship. Never before have players ever competed during such a storm, though.
The sound of the pouring rain was deafening. Imagine being under an umbrella or an awning during a heavy storm and amplifying that sound to a 15,000-seat arena. John McEnroe, calling the match for NBC, said he couldn't believe it wasn't distracting the players.
Perhaps the noise bled into the background enough (think of the collective roar at a football stadium) where the players didn't notice. The thunder, though, was inescapable.
Lisicki went on to win the match in three sets and advanced to Thursday's semifinal. She'll face Maria Sharapova.

Loved it
Great toned down and relaxed song. I so wanna use this for my upcoming flash. If thats OK..
That's fine, and thanks for the review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really relaxed beat... I thought it was brilliant... That'll help me to sleep tonight when i put it on my iPod :) reminded me a little bit of a band called Mogwai (if you don't know them, look them up on YouTube)
Faved :)
Ofcourse I've heard of Mogwai, but I wouldn't call them an influence here. The only influence on this song is the slowcore movement. Thanks for the kind review.

Moonrise over Manhattan Island
After watching the lunar eclipse and pondering how ancient man would have reacted when their moon turned red -- and how different the reaction today in much more sane times -- this glorious skyline above caught my eye: Moonrise over Manhattan Island. [Click pic to enlarge]
The man-made world really is something to cherish, isn't it.

I love layering done on the dragon, well done!
incredible work
like the way the images overlap...

This makes me feel like I can FLY So cute and free-spirited!
This is very nice art. I don't want to sound rude or anything but this kind of reminds me of the Yogcast from Youtube. XD
The only reason I said I didn't want to sound rude is because people sometimes take things as insults even if they aren't.

Try this Green Chile Stew-Healthy Mexican Cookbook recipe, or contribute your own.
3 people want to try | 13 have favorited
Cut the meat into 3-inch chunks and rub with the chile, cumin, and oregano. Heat the oil in a heavy 5-quart pot and brown the meat chunks 3 batches at a time, removing as it browns. When all the meat is ready, saute the onion until softened. Next stir in the garlic, the stock, and the bay leaf. Put all of the browned meat back into the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes. While the meat is simmering, prepare the chiles by charring and removing the skins and seeds. Chop the chiles and stir into the meat along with the chopped jalapenos. Prepare the vegetables and add them to the pot. Simmer until they are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve meat and vegetables with some of the chile broth in wide soup bowls. Serve blue corn muffins or corn bread as an accompaniment. PER SERVING: 271 calories, 27 g protein, 27 g carbohydrate, 6 g fat, 74 mg cholesterol, 172 mg sodium. The cookbook author says that this recipe is her sons favorite. She says one of the reasons is: they love the chunks of browned meat, carrots, and potatoes--all identifiable foods--nothing suspicious. This is one of the most widely eaten stews in the Southwest.

Before you install a plug-in, always check up to which version of WordPress it is compatible with - it says it right on the WordPress download page. In the case of Authors Index Page, it states it is only compatible up to WordPress version 2.7.1 so it's not surprising it doesn't work with more recent versions. Good luck finding an alternative.

The ad hoc committee on affordable housing has several recommendations for the planning and zoning committee, with the biggest suggestion to create a new single-family zoning district.
The district, R-1D, would have a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet. The minimum side lot setback, the committee agreed, is six feet, which will conform to the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) standards.

Looked around forums and google, can't find answer so far.
I'm using Twenty-Ten, I've opted to use an image (paint.net text) in the site-title field, and have removed entirely the giant header image. Easy.
I would like to have multiple site-titles for my site that either randomly appear or are keyed with certain pages. Not really particular on how thatworks just that site-title will change page to page.
Fairly competent with CSS and php so if there are instructions just point me that way.
Also. I am using a child theme so please don't tell me to use a child theme.

ADHD in Children Health Center
Teen Use of Stimulants for ADHD on the Rise
Side Effects of ADHD Drugs continued...
"One needs to be attentive to side effects, especially cardiac effects in a patient who has heart problems," Vitiello says. "They are being used more and more and this means that people are accepting their drawbacks and risks."
There have been reports of a rise in prescription drug abuse -- and stimulants typically place high on the list of drugs that may be abused.
"There is ongoing concern that these drugs may not be used properly, especially when they are prescribed to college students or children in their late adolescence who are more in charge of their care and may not be using the medications as prescribed," he says. The study did not look at these issues.
There is always that issue of stimulant misuse, says Marshall Teitelbaum, MD, a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist in private practice in Jupiter, Fla. The abuse may be a result of what happens to medications that are left unattended in medicine cabinets, he says.
"Stimulants are still the most effective and commonly used medications that we have to treat ADHD," he says. "If we didn't have stimulants for ADHD, we would not be treating the vast majority of patients to our best ability."
It makes sense that the rate of stimulant use is low among preschool-aged kids, he says. "The younger the child, the more careful you are with medications in general. There are kids who are younger than 5 with ADHD and we would rather try behavioral techniques first before turning to any medication."

Missing music producer found alive
Grammy-nominated Chris Julian discovered naked, washing clothes in creek
MSNBC News Services
Updated: 3:07 a.m. ET Aug. 27, 2005
LOS ANGELES - The nearly weeklong search for a Grammy-nominated producer ended Friday after a resident spotted the man sitting naked in a backyard creek, washing his jeans.
The Topanga Canyon resident found a distraught Christian Julian Irwin saying he feared he was being pursued by Nigerians who had contacted him in an Internet scam, sheriffs Capt. Ray Peavy said.
Authorities began looking for Irwin on Sunday after he made a panicked phone call to a friend, saying he was being pursued by people with dogs. He told his friend he was running through water and had lost his glasses and shoes in a creek.
The most bizarre element in the case is Irwin's recent involvement in a Nigerian Internet scam. The swindle involves e-mailed appeals for advance money to help move large sums out of Nigeria. Victims are told theyll get a big chunk of the fortune in exchange for their help.
Irwin is an independent record producer and engineer whose work has brought three Grammy Nominations, over 50 Gold and Platinum albums and an Emmy Award. He has worked with David Bowie, Jimmy Webb, Vanessa Williams, David Crosby, Chaka Khan, Don Was, Art Garfunkel, Carly Simon, Queen Latifa, Isaac Hayes and Lisa Stansfield.

Too much crack will do that to you!!
In the old days, we would call this a "bad acid trip".
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't following you.
Well, you don't want to be caught with dirty clothes when being pursued by Nigerians. Sounds like he's just fine.
So we have a talented idiot.
antelopes crouching in fields of purple tunafish
the dogs are chasing me
was it the brown tabs, or the red pills
i forget.....
Shoot! I was going to sign up for one of those Nigerian deals so I could make big money too! But I don't want to be chased by people with dogs, so I guess I'll pass. All that money gone to waste. Maybe I'll become a music producer instead.
Sounds like drug trip gone really bad.
Gotta find a new drug.
He's probably just another one of those idiots who actually replied to the infamous Nigerian email.
Were the dogs poodles?
So thats how Boxer got her job.
Its time for the California Democratic party to run this guy for office.
Hewey Lewis and the News
I Want A New Drug
I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that won't make you nervous
Wondering what to do
One to help you run
when Nigerians are chasing you.
Sounds like a good plan to me! The concerts are to be staged in the usual places...London, California, New York. We'll get MTV onboard and turn this thing into a real extravaganza. Then we'll put the concerts out on DVD and we'll sell some of the prime cuts to iTunes. Not to mention a real party backstage. Catered food and all the alcoholic beverages you can think of. A good time to be had by all. And it's all for a good cause - we are doing something for Africa. Yay!
Damn those vicious Nigerians!
Bush must be lurking in the background somewhere.
That Nigerian Mafia is ruthless, just give them anything they ask for!
Somebody call Cindy Sheehan and tell her we found her soulmate.
..of course, that's been done already. :P
"drugs", was my guess too. Sounds like he had too much meth/lsd binge. He's lucky he didn't wind up dead due to his own hallucinations. Druggies = Morons
Seems to the the era of "runaway brides".
Another fine exmple of Hollyweird intelligensia. All of us in fly over country better listen to him rather than think for ourselves.
Now I understand the Hollywood Left..Drug induced visions of Marxist paradise mixed with self hate and loathing of a country that would give them such wealth..topped off by neurotic FEAR of the great mass of American citizens who are..war mongers and shop owners unable to understand the deep insight LSD and mescal give the Entertainment elite.
And at the end they want to go out in a blaze of glory via inside bottle rockets set off by Johnny Depp(Dip)
Send him to Crawford!
Your relative needs to find a dealer he can trust. Unless your relative's pot was laced with something (or he's smoking way more than most people do), there's no way in hell that pot will induce paranoia.
Now, I never trust those Nigerians, but I just got a solid lead on some big bucks in Iraq. This is that Bush connection I was just talking about. As soon as I finish brewing up this fantastic mix of chemicals I discovered and have it for breakfast, I am going to contact Mr. Al-najjar. Don't any of you try to contact him before I do or I'll tell the Nigerian dog-men! Remember, they contacted ME due to my HONESTY and TRANSPERENCY. I'm not sure what "transperency" is but I know is it DAMN important to the Iraquis! Here is his letter for your perusal.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. said Al-najjar, I am working in Economic Development and ForeignContract payment Operations Department, in the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). My aim of writing you is to seek for your kindness assistance to allow
me quickly transfer the sum of US$15.million dollars, into your account.
It will interest you to know how this huge sum amount of funds came about.
About two days before the United State and British, bombing began, Saddam Hussein, ordered his youngest son, Qusay, to remove the sum of US$1.billion (£640 million) from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) The cash which was loaded on to three lorries.
That memorable day Qusay and a senior aide to the former president Saddam Hussein delivered the instruction in person to the bank,s governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). And the money was removed without proper official documentations. The money was not debited. It was just remove from the foreign reserve vault. This illegal withdrawer created opportunity for our staffs working in the foreign payments department. We hastingly remove from the vault the sum of US$75.million, which we shared among
ourselves working in the department, five in number. My share was US$10 million, the deal which was absolutely successfully, I am now seeking your help to allow me prepare transfer document in your Name to enable me transferred the
funds the security company holding it into your account, for futher investment.
I have agreed to offer you 25% of the funds for your assistance 5% is reserved for expenses 70% will be kept for your account for me. Note this transaction is risk free since it is assumed; Saddam Hussein was responsible for removing the funds.
I have formalized every necessary arrangement with regards to this transaction and the services of a legal firm will be employed by me to see to the legal transfer of the fund to your nominated account.
What I needed now is your HONESTY and TRANSPERENCY Please I need conviction and assurance of TRUST from you. Of course, you can see the reasons for this, is that, it involves a huge sum of money and I have not deal with you in anyway
If I am convinced and with your declaration of interest in this deal, then I will tell you the procedures to follow and with other vital information, Kindly contactme through the above email.
For the security of this transaction, I do hereby implore you to treat and maintain it with the absolute confidentiality and secrecy it requires to avoid exposing our intentions, there by jeopardizing this project.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Looking forward to your urgent response.
Best Regard
Mr. said Al-najjar
A Phil Spector starter kit in the making?
Sounds like he is living the ultimate lifestyle that is promoted by the whacky environutto liberal fools. Communing with nature, washing his clothes in a stream, living off the land, the way we were all meant to. Ask any libonut.
"there's no way in hell that pot will induce paranoia."
Said Bob, the friendly neighborhood drug peddler.
LOL now that was funny. I have been laughing out load on this thread.
Now that she's paranoid, she can't trust anyone, so she is screwed! At least it will get her off the stuff.
sound like superman girl friend about two years ago
That is a double whammy, to be paranoid and be followed!
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
rick james
I like the Donald Trump quote: "It's OK to be a little paranoid because some people do want what you have".
Well, everyone seems convinced it's drugs but just to put an alternative viewpoint out there, it could be schizophrenia. Schizophrenia usually strikes otherwise healthy people, usually relatively young people, without warning and it's very sad when it happens. I'd hate to be making fun of a man who's going through that.
Drugs! He was hopped up on some kind of mind altering substances.

Skip to comments.Why not let taxes rise on the middle class?
Posted on 12/29/2012 7:44:09 AM PST by Hojczyk
Barring a last-minute breakthrough, taxes will go up for every U.S. taxpayer on Jan. 1 and thats a development conservatives should welcome.
Dont get me wrong: It would be better not to raise taxes on anyone, pursue pro-growth tax reform and cut the size of government instead. But thats not what the American people voted to do last month. Americans cast their ballots for big government.
Now its time to pay for it.
Until now, the growth of government under President Obama has not hit the pocketbooks of most Americans. During Obamas first term, federal spending grew to more than 24 percent of GDP the highest it has been since 1946. Yet almost no one in the country (except smokers and those who frequent indoor tanning salons) saw their taxes rise. Quite the opposite: 160 million Americans saw their payroll taxes reduced from 6.2 to 4.2 percent.
How can we expect people to care about the growth of government if it doesnt cost them anything?
Instead of paying for the current miasma of spending, weve been borrowing the money from our children and grandchildren. The national debt has grown by nearly $6 trillion in the four years since Obama took office. That generational theft cannot continue. We must not keep financing big government by passing the bills on to the next generation. Ideally, we would stop the spending binge and live within our means. But if the nation is not up to that, then we should all pitch in and pay for it all of us.
Until then, Republicans need to stop protecting Americans from the consequences of their decisions to elect profligate politicians.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Last November we voted for big and bigger government, by virtue of the singles demographic.
VAT is the only wat to go.
Yeah, after all, what's wrong with the Clinton tax rates? I thought they were the cause of all things good in the 90's.
Republicans should have made this a slam dunk.
1. Make Bush tax cuts permenant for everyone.
2. Cut spending to 2000 levels.
There are only 3 solutions.
1- cut spending
2- raise taxes
3- cut spending and raise taxes
It's just math. We are robbing our children
No, "we're" not borrowing it. Obama is just printing most of the money. He's stealing it from people who are naive enough to think that $1 today is going to be worth $1 tomorrow.
Am I the only cynic who thinks that both sides of the aisle WANT taxes to go up - any way they can get it - and that they will both blame the other side but both be secretly delighted that they went up?
This is not about money.
This is not about the economy.
This is pure and simply about power, and taking more and more of our money to redistribute is power.
Spare me the crocodile tears, and spare me the explanation of how this bad thing is really, secretly a good thing - I had enough of that with Roberts and his Obamacare decision...
Let it go over the cliff. All these jerks who voted for Obama because he promised to raise the taxes on the top 2% can start paying their fair share now. Raise everyones taxes, cut the spending and go on down the road. Time for the 47% to step up to the plate.
Obama and the lame stream media will blame the Republicans for the tax increases and the "low information" voters (e.i. idiots) will believe this BS. I fail to understand why the GOP isn't hammering on the fact that Obama's tax increase on the "rich" making $200,000+ wouldn't fund even two weeks of government spending at current levels. This tax increase is Marxist income redistribution plain and simple and does not even make a dent in our deficit. Why doesn't someone in the GOP have the balls to call this tax increase what it is... pure Marxism?
Who robbed our children? I sure didn't . You add up ALL of the taxes and fees that we pay to our government which is probably close to 40 % and you say that isn't enough?! NO, OUR government is robbing us blind and misusing our funds like an attorney that embezzles from his own clients when he's the manager of their trust funds.
This guy NAILS IT...and sounds a lot like me.
I'm am SICK OF PLAYING TAX POLICEMAN for the wealthy INGRATES that keep voting Democrat.
If they want Democrats so bad and the big government that comes with Democrats, THEN FINE, let them start paying the taxes.
Sorry for you conservatives, that, like me, will also get hit, but the INGRATES will be SCREAMING like mad at the Democrats they elected, especially in the Northeast and California, and I would JUST LOVE to see that.
Most of them won't bother to file. A chance to turn them in and collect the IRS reward.
I say we meaning our collectively elected government.
Then get ready for government spending to rise to 35% and then to 40% of GDP... I know Obama would dearly love to have a VAT in addition to the Clinton income tax rates (and all of the other taxes). You'll never get the dems to give up any of their tax policies, so adding a VAT is just an invitation to more spending and ever larger government.
Absolutely. For a decade we have been hearing about how the Bush tax cuts only benefited the rich. So let them expire and this should screw the rich. Or will the meme suddenly change?
"VAT is the only wat to go."
AGREE!!! We also need to raise the gas tax to about $5.00 per gallon (total), and let the Bush Tax Cuts expire.
All three of the above will get us closer to a balanced budget - maybe all the way, providing that the Republicans keep spending under control in the House.
I am SICK TO DEATH of the INGRATES, including many on this site, that insist on their goodies (like Social Security and Medicare) but want my kids and future grandkids to have to pay for it. If you want your GOODIES, then PAY FOR IT YOURSELF and leave my kids alone!!!
"I say we meaning our collectively elected government."
Exactly. All we know is that our kids and grand kids DID NOT vote to start life off with what is now $50,000 of debt on their backs, and going up at $5,000 per year.
Yes, I know that most here never voted for the nimrods that are doing this spending, but most here still feel ENTITLED to the money my kids earn, for their goodies from the government (i.e., Social Security and Medicare). So I have no sympathy for them and hope those pyramid schemes collapse tomorrow.
I agree with this...
If the voters want the spending, then they need to be willing to pay for it. Every body's taxes SHOULD go up to pay for it. As long as the voters think they are getting a free ride, why not have obama phones for everybody...
Why not start taxing the 47% that pay no federal income tax at all?
Fiscal cliff is avoided, but sequestered cuts proceed.
Predictions are there will be enough WH, House and Senate support to make Bush tax cuts "permanent" for all below 400 or 500,000.
No spending concessions now other than those sequestered.
Republicans then hang their hopes on major spending cuts or in exchange for a debt limit increase in a month or so.
IF Republicans do hold on the debt limit, this could work. Big IF, however, as York notes, but they are apparently girding their loins for that fight.
AGREE!!! We also need to raise the gas tax to about $5.00 per gallon (total), and let the Bush Tax Cuts expire.
We part ways on gas tax. Cheap energy is the only way to grow this economy.
However, as long as VAT is not means tested, everyone feels it via higher prices.
The reality is that we voted for bigger government.
"Why not start taxing the 47% that pay no federal income tax at all?"
Ending the Bush tax cuts likely snags at least 10% of that bunch, as they lose the much lower tax rates at the bottom end, and the children's tax credit - and probably other stuff too.
Remember that most of that 47% still do work - they just don't pay any taxes because of the stupid Republicans giving them a pass on it.
>> I am SICK TO DEATH of the INGRATES, including many on this site
Remind me again what branch of the military you served within?
Why not let taxes rise on all those who say "why not let taxes rise," and on all those who say, "I need to pay more taxes."
And leave the rest of us alone.
"I am just a few years away from collecting but I would happily give up ALL of my socialist security and medicare if the government would just cancel those programs and get GTF out of my life"
I like you. Unfortunately, it seems that half of the people in your shoes just want their goodies and could care less how they get them. I'm sure they have kids - but they just unable to see any linkage to the damage they are doing.
"Remind me again what branch of the military you served within?"
No, sorry, but serving in the military DOES NOT give you the right to make debt-slaves out of my kids and grandkids. If you feel differently, then you should have fought for the other side.
>> No, sorry, but serving in the military DOES NOT give you the right to make debt-slaves out of my kids and grandkids.
I don't believe I ever said it did. I merely asked you a simple question, the answer to which you side-stepped.
May I assume, then, that you have NOT served in our armed forces?
Dumbass GOP
The Demoncrats want to go where the REAL money is. That
would be the MIDDLE CLASS (sorry for screaming). They can't
get there until the "middies" have been convinced that the
wealthy have been tapped out first. What the GOP would be
smart to do is to announce that they would not stand in the
way of increased taxes on those w/$500K plus income but that
the Demos would have to pledge not to mess w/the middle
class for ten (or whatever) years. Let them sweat for a change.
You DO NOT have the right to silence people you disagree with, for ANY REASON.
Sorry, again, but I will not stop fighting you guys.
I believe most people hold to the "our children and grandchildren will pay" doctrine so as to affirm that they will be paid Social Security and other various welfare schemes such as Medicare, government pensions. They believed they have earned it and are entitled to it and besides they were promised, the politicians squandered it, its an inter-generational pact, they sacrificed....
"What the GOP would be smart to do is to announce that they would not stand in the way of increased taxes on those w/$500K plus income but that the Demos would have to pledge not to mess w/the middle class for ten (or whatever) years."
Sure, the Dems will promise ANYTHING now, just as they've promised spending cuts in the past - starting with their deal to get Bush Sr. to give up his "Read My Lips" pledge. In other words, that will never work.
Hold the phone BobL......you say there are those on this site that insist on their goodies like Social Security and Medicare? Uh, excuse me, but haven't we ALL been forced to pay INTO it all these years?? How's about the gooberment paying back the monies they've stolen from Social Security and go after the FRAUD in Medicare for starters? I'm down to my last nerve with those that think that 50 years of working and paying into these programs that we're somehow responsible for all the ills of society and we should give up our benefits and dare I say our PENSIONS to which alot of us paid about 10% of our pay toward said pensions for years on end? Those that are the loudest about this better hope they never get old and if they're in some kind of pension plan and yes, SS and Medicare....they better hope they get it back!
>> You DO NOT have the right to silence people you disagree with, for ANY REASON.
I think you have a chip on your shoulder. It's not my intent to "silence" you.
>> Sorry, again, but I will not stop fighting you guys.
Who exactly are "we guys" that you will not "stop fighting", and how do you know that I am part of "them"?
Let's review the facts, shall we? I asked you the sum total of ONE question. I have made ZERO comments about the views you have expressed. Everything you have said since then is your own "allergic reaction" to my simple and innocent question. This reveals a lot about you, your views, your temper and you personality. Very interesting!
I'm in complete agreement. The problem with those programs is that they were turned into a slush fund for the politicians. We need to end them ASAP. I am 50 and I will gladly pay for SS for those older than me provided I can turn my IRA savings into a Roth. Other people who did not save should be given a bigger tax break for saving.
While we are at it, let's get rid of the Fed and their war on savers.
"Hold the phone BobL......you say there are those on this site that insist on their goodies like Social Security and Medicare? Uh, excuse me, but havent we ALL been forced to pay INTO it all these years??"
Doesn't matter...the money you paid in IS GONE, and everyone knows it and they have known it FOR DECADES. I knew it nearly 30 years ago when I first started working.
So, with the money gone - we're now talking about programs that are no different than Welfare - which is the TAKING of money by force from people earning to and giving it to the people that don't work.
I simply have a problem with that, as it's no different than me 'investing' my money with Bernie Madoff, losing it to him, and then me going to may neighbor's house with a shotgun to demand he pay me back. It is NOT my neighbor's fault that the money is gone. It doesn't matter that Bernie sent me the nice statements telling me how rich I was - the money is simply gone.
...and no, we will NEVER be able to get it back from the politicians who spent it - it's long gone, at least 99% of it.
Government pensions of any sort are purely political calculations. They are not earned and invested in any sort of actuarial basis. You got paid in promises of a pension. So those who made the promise should pay you. Disagree? Look up what Jefferson says about the theory of "inter-generational debt".
Regardless, this is not a thread about military service, so by bringing it up you are attempting to discredit me, rather than respond to my point.
That is a legitimate way to argue when you don't have a leg to stand on, but it doesn't mean that I will fall for it.
>> I assume you have a government pension based on your military service?
No, I don't. Why would you assume that?
The programs were not turned into a slush fund. They were always a slush fund. There is no "Paying into it" because there never was an it. SS is not broke because it owes nothing.
Based on your earlier question. So if you didn't serve why bring it up? Or were you bating us? If so, well played.
You're both utter morons. Like good little Liberals, you go about attacking the messenger, as if their past or present status has ANYTHING to do with the point they are making. There's a reason most others ignore your posts here.
Conservatives... should be all about less government and hence lower taxes. And such taxes should hit everyone or we get bigger government [anathema of conservatism.]
So go over the cliff with the purpose of reducing the size of government. When everyone pays for government, everyone wants it to cost less.
So, if taxes must go up, conservatives should want to have everyone's taxes go up - NOT just some.
0imposter wants us to give-in on this principle and just tax some. DON'T DO IT!!!
>> you are attempting to discredit me
Actually, no. That's just another one of your projections. I don't really care to argue with you at all.
In this thread and others, you put on those ol' Judge's robes and slam down that gavel pretty hard on all of us. Just checking out your credentials, Judge, to see if it's worth my valuable time to sit in your courtroom audience in the future, or perhaps instead find someone with more wisdom and experience to listen to.
>> So if you didnt serve why bring it up?
I didn't say I didn't serve. I said I don't have a pension, which was the answer to the question you actually asked.
"Actually, no. Thats just another one of your projections. I dont really care to argue with you at all."
Then you're trolling.
"In other words, it will never work."
Oh, yes it will. True, Demos will not worry about breaking a
pledge down the road. But they will shutter at the thought of
having to make a promise they don't want to keep. This is as
much political theater as it is anything else and the Demos are
expert at tossing the GOP into the orchestra pit. Time to change
the show a little. You just need to understand that the Demos
crave middle class tax money because that is where most of the
money is.

The management of buyers' perceptions of waiting time by service businesses may be critical to customer satisfaction. Although reducing actual waiting time is important, what managers view as a short time to wait may feel too long to customers. Relevant literature from architecture, environmental psychology, psychology, physiology, operations management, sociology, and marketing is integrated to build a conceptual model of how the service environment may influence affect and, in turn, waiting time perception. Based on this model, propositions about how specific service environment elements (e.g., lighting, color, temperature) may influence affect and time perception are presented. Finally, a research agenda and implications for service facility design are proposed.

After: Weathering the Storm
Three hurricanes, 20 unresponsive contractors, and a whole lot of love later, Beth and her family had their final, beautiful product. "We feel that the look of the house fits nicely into the look of the neighborhood," she said. They used energy-efficient, low-maintenance products, and Beth and her husband did as much work on the renovation as they could. Despite the hurricane damage along the way, Beth and her husband finally have their historic pre-1900s home back to restored beauty.

Worst Mat I've Ever Used
By Mother of Ten
from Sullivan, Il
I used this one time and will not use it again. I felt like I was on a skating rink and would fall at any moment. The bubbles on this mat are very slippery like bubble wrap.I feel like this is made of the wrong material and should have some rough texture to the top of it. I had a shorter bath mat that I had used for a long time and like very much but wanted to get a new and longer one so I ordered this one. Very disappointed with this mat. Went back to the old one I had.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Non slip even on fiberglass tubs
By Marti
from East Brunswick, NJ
I purchased this mat in 2013 & am still very pleased with how it's held up. I have a fiberglass tub and am always cautious when stepping into my tub, but find this mat anchors well to the tub floor and I have never slipped on this mat to date. Very pleased with my purchase.

"The Lost Village" Masca by DUNK67
Masca Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 8 photos
I had been to Tenerife four times previously but had never heard of Masca before. It turns out it is a lost village which probably why I had never heard of it before. It turns out that it isn't really lost as it is a popular tourist stop off point on some of the many tours around the island.

I've seen this asked a few times, but couldn't find an open discussion.
I'd like the Previous and Next links to stay within the same category as the current post. The codex says its possible with a 'True' parameter but I can't get it to work.
The codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/previous_post_link) doesn't mention why the default theme code includes 'twentyeleven' as a parameter.
My code in single.php is:
<?php previous_post_link( '%link', __( '← Previous', TRUE,'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>
<?php next_post_link( '%link', __( 'Next →', TRUE, 'twentyeleven' ) ); ?>
The links still ignore the category and just go by date.
Any help much appreciated

Brooke Shields was involved in a wee bit of an accident. The actress was in a fender bender the other day. But it wasn't just two automobiles locking bumpers, the plane she was riding in careened into a 2010 Buick SUV.
Brooke was in a Cessna prop plane along with Jim Belushi they were being flown to Hearst Castle in San Luis Obispo for a private event. Brooke's kids were safely at home. The plane and passengers landed safely, but when they stopped the pilot forgot to put the brakes on. As he was helping Brooke with her luggage, the plane started to roll right into the SUV. Damages sound like they were minor and no one was injured in the incident, but still a report was filed with the NTSB.

How do I display the picture title just below the picture? I looked for an option and couldn't find it.
How do I display the picture title just below the picture? I looked for an option and couldn't find it.
You can display the description below the picture by adding template=caption to the shortcode but I too am trying to figure out how to both add the title under the picture and how to show the description when I open in lightbox or vice versa.
Forgive my ignorance.
But, what and where is the shortcode?
you can use [ngg gallery id=x template=caption] and change the gallery-caption.php file or the css if necessary.
What would I change in the caption.php or the css to make the captions appear?
Nothing to change if you use the ngggallery tag ...
[ngg gallery id=x template=caption] and all is ok with the 1.4.3 version and the default style, don't know for other version
I just created this site and used the gallery plugin. But I want to have captions show below each image, and I got it to do that on the first page of the gallery but it wont show up on all the other pages 2,3,4 and so on. Does anyone know how I can get it to work, heres what im talking about : http://nwcanopies.com/gallery/
Hey Mike...I just checked your site and it looks like you got it figured out...how'd you do it? :-)
Hey, Mike hasn't responded yet, but he said it had something to do with captions.
Yeah, he sent me an email about it and I'm still stumped...I'm really an amateur.
I had to use [nggallery id=x template=caption]
Still can't get mine to work.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm using WP 2.9
Same problem here... I am using [nggallery id=1 template=caption], and the thumbnails are okay...but not displaying desctiption and title.
Using Nextgen version downloaded 2 days ago, on Headway 1.56 and WordPress 2.9
It looks like it is trying to get the info from somewhere as it is adding this into the code after each image.
<span> </span>
Has anyone any ideas which bits of code we need to be looking at?
I have done a fresh install on a spare domain with only the gallery as the only plugin so it must be a coding or database issue.
The problem seems to be replicated for a few people and it would be nice if the code creator could comment on the issue.
There is nothing wrong with the code!!!!
The issue is with the colour contrast in the "Manage Gallery" section.
By this I mean that you can't see that underneath "Alt & Title Text / Description" there are two text boxes one above the other for every image.
The first one is for the "Alt & Title Text" and the one below is for the "Description".
Now I know this the "template=caption" is working fine!!!
I've installed a higher contrast theme by using an admin theme plugin.
Hope this helps.
Hi there,
The same issue. Titles are displayed besides the images, even if I use this code: [nggallery id=1 template=caption]
In the other hand, I am getting two Add button per image! The first one is showing a piece of code as follow:
" class="shutterset_set_1" >
Any idea on how to solve the problem. You could see the problem here: http://www.severus.es/blog/2009/12/prueba/
In my case I see clearly the two boxes. That one is not the issue, the issue is somewhere in the code
Is this possible:
[ nggtags gallery=cologne template=caption ]
Hi, I'm trying to understand this, I'm afraid I'm a little clueless.
Where do I find this tag:
[ngg gallery id=x template=caption]
You must add that to the page or post where you want the gallery to show up.
I have wp3.0 and netgen1.5.5 and the captions are still showing up along side the floated images (see http://leogoode.com/galleries/) so it's not a matter of just adding template=caption.
Any solutions to this yet?
My captions work just fine, but I'd like to get the image title to show up on the Shutterset view... any ideas?

Skip to comments.Obama Experiences Epic Meltdown as Romney Crushes Him in First Debate
Posted on 10/04/2012 6:59:37 AM PDT by OneVike
I have seen many debates in my life, but never before have I witnessed such a complete defeat of an opponent. Obama was so outmatched, that it was almost as if Romney was toying with the one term president at times. It even seemed like he was holding back a chuckle, as he watched Obama incoherently ramble on in a pathetic attempt to match wits with a man who's IQ is vastly superior to his. More then a few times Obama wanted to continue, but wasn't allowed to because I am sure Jim felt pity that he would just inflict more damage upon himself. Maybe that's when Jim Lehrer realized that Obama was going to get routed.
Near the end of the debate, when Mitt responded to the question of what he thought the role of the government was, you could almost sense him going in for the kill as he began reciting the constitution and what our founding fathers meant by the words they wrote. By then Lehrer must have known that he was witnessing a meltdown of his Manchurian President. From beginning to end, Obama was playing small ball against a big leaguer who spent 90 minutes schooling him on the fine art of debating. If it were a boxing match, Jim would have stopped the debate while awarding Romney a TKO.
What I witnessed was a real leader exposing Barrack Hussein Obama to be nothing more than a small time community organizer. A small time Chicago thug being crushed by a like a cheap tin can. It was the kind of defeat that many do not recover from, and only time will tell if the man-child who would be king can. Yes, in my opinion, it was that complete of a defeat.
Truth is, if I had not watched it myself, I would not have believed it, but I have never been so delighted to admit I was wrong. Yesterday I posted my opinion that regardless of how bad Obama did, the MSM would find a way to claim he won. However, even when Ranaldus Magnus handed Carter his ass on a platter, he didn't look as pathetic as Obama did last night. Now we can all sit back and watch the MSM begin their damage control. After all, Obama's own campaign was downplaying his chances long before the debate began, so I expect them to quickly change the subject as they get back on message that Obama is invincible.
On FOX news,(video below) Krauthammer may have stated that he thought Romney won big by two touchdowns, but he preferenced it by making excuses for Obama when he brought up the way George Bush lost to John Kerry in their first debate. He went on to say that, like Bush, he expects Obama to recover and do better in the next debate. So it seems like inside the beltway Charly has already began downplaying the significance of Obama's meltdown. (by the way, GW did not lose that first debate to Kerry)
As I scan the reports, it looks like most conservative and liberal pundits think Romney won decisively. Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, believes the debate will go down in history as "one of the most historically one-sided debates in history."
Liberal comedian and TV host, Bill Maher, tweeted: "Obama's not looking like he came for a job interview, Romney so far does." In another tweet he said,"Obama made a lot of great points tonight. Unfortunately, most of them were for Romney".
Bill Gasto, a senior fellow of the liberal think tank, Brookings Institute, commented that: "Romney did himself considerable good. ... I would not be surprised to learn that a majority of American people think he won it outright." Probably the most telling response came from MSNBC's uber liberal pundit Chris Matthews, who was so upset with Obama that he recommended the president begin watching more MSNBC:
"Where was Obama tonight? He should watch -- well not just Hardball, Rachel, he should watch you, the Reverend Al, Lawrence. There's a hot debate going on in this country, here on this network is where we're having the debate. We have our knives out, we go after the people and the facts. What was he doing tonight? He went in there disarmed."
I am guessing that Mathews has lost that tingling feeling he had in his legs for Obama, after he listened to a speech he gave during the 2008 Democrat primary.(video above)
I understand that somewhere between 55 and 60 million Americans were expected to tune into the debate. In a poll of 430 people by CNN/ORC International, 67% thought Romney won, compared to 25% for Obama. A CBS News instant poll, had uncommitted voters agreeing by 2 to 1 that Romney beat Obama, and in an experimental online poll by Google, 38.9% to 35.5% thought Obama was performing better early in the debate, but after the debate ended, the numbers were 47.8% to 25.4% in Romney's favor. All that being said, I expect that by the time they meet for the next debate on October 16, the media will have discovered enough problems with Romney's win to have convinced at least half the voters that that Obama had actually won.
Only time will tell, but it's no secret that I have thought this race was over before it began. That's why I am still upset with my fellow republicans who fell for the lie that only a moderate could beat Obama. I think any one of the Republican primary candidates would have done just as good against Obama, but we are stuck with Romney.
For those who are inclined to betting, two offshore gambling sites both have Obama losing ground. Pinnacle Sports, has Obama's at 73% odds of winning re-election, where as his chances were at 80% before the debate, that's a 7% drop. Intrade of Ireland has Obama's odds dropping to 66% for winning, down 12% from 78% before the debate. Finally, I wanted to share the video below of Sarah Palin's take on the debate with you. She almost felt sorry for Obama.
Air Time: 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Location: Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York (Tickets)
Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates
Participants: President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney
Moderator: Candy Crowley (CNN Chief Political Correspondent)
The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting,
Stop being a snot about it. Ping a person if you mention them in a comment. You know the rules.
Town Hall debates are always set ups. They pack the audience with lefty college students and union members with pre-approved questions to favor the Democrat. What will happen is that Obama will not be asked any tough questions that he can't answer with canned pre-prepared lines from other speeches and campaign ads.
I'd like someone to smuggle in the Obamaphone lady. I think that would be really funny to see.

WOODLAWN — An online petition to keep open Virginia's training centers for the intellectually disabled, including the facility in Carroll County, has set a goal of collecting 10,000 signatures against the action.
Gov. Bob McDonnell announced in early 2012 that the state planned to close four of the five training centers, reduce the fifth in Chesapeake to 75 beds and transition residents into community-based programs.
The Southwestern Virginia Training Center is slated to close by 2018, with all closures in the state to be completed by 2020.
Those with loved ones at the training centers have met the decision with trepidation.
Members of the community have wondered what the change will mean for the residents and how it will impact employment in Carroll.
Maurine Houser of Reston submitted the petition to www.change.org, saying that the five training centers "provide safe and supportive environments for more than 800 individuals with significant intellectual disabilities, most of whom also have either severe behavioral problems or complex medical needs."
State officials have chosen to close four training centers on "an arbitrary schedule, before good placements have been found for each and every resident," according to the petition.
Lack of a community placement options by the time a training center closes could mean a transfer to another training center farther away, which also may be marked for closure, the petition notes.
"Virginia is continuing down this path even though the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and federal District Court Judge John Gibney have stated that the DOJ-Virginia Settlement Agreement to increase community living options for people with ID does not require the closure of these training centers, and that the final decision resides in the hands of the General Assembly," the petition says.
Transition efforts have begun, even though the General Assembly has not specifically endorsed the training center closures, the petition continues. "Nonetheless, the DBHDS [Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services] continues to pressure representatives of training center residents to move their medically fragile and severely disabled loved ones into communities that are not ready to receive them."
There are also concerns about the funding needed through the Medicare waivers being on schedule to provide the financial support for the community services.
The petition encourages those persons 18 years or older with an interest in the training centers to sign.
The stated goals of the petition include:
• slowing down the closure process so that state officials may "take a closer look at the needs of Virginia's most vulnerable and fragile population."
• removing the "unrealistic timeline" for the training center discharges.
• keeping the training center residents from being transferred into care hours away from their families in case the needed services aren't available closer to home.
• allowing state officials to consider other options, such as downsizing the training centers and trying to achieve economies of scale by sharing the facilities with groups involved in similar services.
• and keeping in mind all the jobs that would be lost with the closure of the training centers.
(At the time of McDonnell's announcement, officials said that more than 3,000 employees statewide would be affected by the closures.)
After being released on Saturday, the petition had gained 196 signatures by early Monday, leaving 9,804 to go, according to information at the change.org website.

A: I didn't have really bad heartburn, but my friend who was also pregnant the same time I was, did. Our doctor told her to drink something acidic like lemonade. You would think it would be the last thing to help relieve the heartburn, but it worked for her.
I used to drink milk, it seemed to help. Talk with your OB too, they may have some recommendations that will help.
best regards!
Q: Can you take tums dual action while pregnant?
I was wondering if you could take the tums dual action while you are pregnant.
Thank you for the replies.
A: I ate Tums like mad when I was pregnant. They are actually good for you because they have calcium in them. If Tums don't work try drinking a glass of milk, that usually helps me.
Q: Whats all this about "celebrities" showing off their pregnant tums in the glossies?
"Look at me aint I preggers?" Whats the story please tell me?
My friends buy them – girlies
And I get exposed. Not that way!
A: Propbaly the same old rubbish – any talentless twit who has appeared on a reality show or sung a one hit wonder or snagged a footballer is classed as a celebrity and therefore worthy of filling the gossip mags and many brain-dead slobs will buy them further increasing the profits for all involved. Very sad. Don't feed into this manipulative crap. Donate your money to a worthy cause instead.
Q: What are the syn tums for a dog being pregnant?
I think my dog is pregnant because my other dog looks like he is horny and he wants to have sex with my dog but i think they already did and how can i tell that my dog is pregnant?
A: Did you really not expect this to happen when you have a male and a female dog, neither which are spayed/neutered?
Q: Is it ok to take tums while you are possibly pregnant or trying to conceive?
I have heart burn really bad and I want to know if it is safe to take tums
I gotta know
A: Tums are OK during pregnancy. Like everything else though; during pregnancy only take them if you have to and in moderation.
Q: Is it OK for a pregnant woman to take Rolaids, Tums or other antacids for heartburn?
If the answer is no, please give some recomendations of alternative ways for a pregnant woman to combat heartburn throughout the night. Thanks
A: tums are safe. but do let your doctor know if you have heartburn often.
Avoid over-the-counter heartburn relievers that contain cimetidine (Tagamet HB) and famotidine (Pepcid AC) because there is little evidence as to how safe they are to use during pregnancy.
An old wise tale my family told me was the baby would have a lot of hair when you have a lot of heartburn boy were they so true. lol
Good luck with the baby!
Q: Im 27weeks pregnant and im suffering with indigestion, what helps faster besides tums?
Im currently taken tums for it, but they're not helping any. What else can i take? Sounds like there's a war in my tummy.
A: Try eating papaya. Fresh or dried works. You can also chew on fennel seeds.
Q: Can you take tums while you are pregnant.?
Can you take tums while pregnant. I have never had heartburn before and lately i have had some heartburn that gets so bad i feel like i'm gonna throw up. Can you take tums or should you stick with milk.
A: yes u can take tums while pregnant.. its completely harmless…
Q: Can you take anything besides Zantac and tums for GERD while pregnant or TTC?
A: Priolsec OTC is AMAZING!! I had horrid heartburn while I was pregnant with my daughter. Tums, maalox, tried everything, nothing would touch it! I couldn't sleep, everything I ate or drank would cause it to flair up. Talked to my doc, she put me on Prilosec, THAT day had some relief, next morning it was completely gone! Next time I will not wait so long before asking for some assistance from my doctor!!
Q: Are Tums the only anti-acids you can take while pregnant?
I'm 9.5 weeks w/ #1. I have all-day morning sickness, and now I'm getting heartburn too. I take Tums daily, but they really don't seem to be cutting it for me. Is there anything stronger I can take?! Or, how many Tums do you think I can take in one day?
A: Whoa, do not take Pepto while pregnant- it contains asprin….Zantac, mylanta, and pepcid are all okay as well as Tums…Yeah, Tums never cut it for me either!!!
Q: I took exlax and tums last week, but think I may be pregnant now. Am I going to be okay?
Has anyone taken medicine before you knew you were pregnant and had everything turn out okay? I'm just looking for some hope. I had a miscarriage 3 months ago and really want this baby if I'm pregnant.
My cycle is supposed to start on Sunday.
A: Tums are good for you, have you seen how much calcium they have? =) You should try and steer clear of the ex-Lax, but really, it shouldn't cause any harm if you are pregnant now.
Q: 33 weeks pregnant and tums/rolaids no longer work for heartburn?
can you recomend any safe alternatives
A: Have you tried milk yet? This works for a lot of pregnant women. I hope you feel better – heartburn hurts!
Q: apparently my two year dumped a whole bunch of tums in my water,im 29 weeks pregnant is it gonna hurt the baby?
No rude answers please
No i mean i drink it and didnt know till after
A: Well how much did you drink. I would be surprised if you didn't taste is after one sip. If thats the case then you should be fine. You can take tums while pregnant. If you however, drank the entire glass(8oz) then I recommend contacting a doctor. Thats seems like a lot of tums and may be harmful.
Q: Is there a limit on how many tums a pregnant woman can take?
I know that when you can take ten or twelve in 24 hours when you are not pregnant. I can't find on the bottle where it says how many a pregnant woman can take. And I GOOGLED it. It might be right in front of me; being pregnant has made me a tad oblivious to the obvious. And I have heartburn really bad. I tried the natural route with a cup of decaf tea with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar then with a glass of milk and it just keeps coming back after easing up for five minutes. ]: I have already eaten four tums so I know that is alright, not all at once. I am just curious on how many we preggies can take.
Ha ha, thanks. I will attempt to trot downstairs and read the bottle, then bring it up stairs with a bottle of water. ^_^
A: I was wondering the same thing. I meant to call my doctor and ask, but I forgot. I have my next appointment on Tuesday so I'm going to talk to her then. I have wicked heartburn too…sucks doesnt it? I think you would be ok to take at least 4 or 5. If you need more then that then likely you need a different antacid all together so I would check with your doctor.
Q: Is it safe to take Tums while pregnant?
Regular strength…..
A: It's completely safe. My doctor actually recommended that I eat two a day to supplement my calcium intake. But like everything else, make sure you ingest them in moderation.

Are there any good database abstraction layers/object relational mappers/ActiveRecord implementations/whatever they are called for Android? I'm aware that db4o is officially supported, but it has quite a large footprint and I'd rather use a more conventional database (
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Are there any good database abstraction layers/object relational mappers/ActiveRecord implementations/whatever they are called for Android? I'm aware that db4o is officially supported, but it has quite a large footprint and I'd rather use a more conventional database (
I am the main author of ORMLite which was designed to be small[ish] but still provide higher level functionality. ORMLite makes calls to the native Android OS database APIs to support its ORM functionality. See the following for general information
Here are some Android example applications:
I tried the Sugar ORM, which is very basic (and easy to use) but it worked for my needs.
Try ActiveAndroid. There's a sample app here: https://www.activeandroid.com/help/sample-project/
There is an 'android-active-record' project which provides ActiveRecord abstraction for accessing Android SQLite database. It's available here: http://code.google.com/p/android-active-record
It allows to eliminate most of boilerplate coding when performing CRUD operations on database entities and also minimizes efforts for creating/maintaining a database structure
If performance and size matter, you should have a look at our open source ORM tool greenDAO. We wrote it because we did not want to compromise on speed. Other tools heavily rely on reflection, which is very slow on Android. Despite the tiny size (<100k), it supports relations, query builders, etc.
Shameless plug, but I've been working on a new open source Android framework called Infinitum. One of its main features is an ORM which has a criteria API similar to Hibernate and a few other nifty features (associations, lazy loading, etc.). It's still in its early stages, but I think it's coming along pretty nicely.
I have written a new ORM, for android, that's aimed and being as easy as possible to implement. It support lists and SQL free migration a couple things which I always found had an overhead in other libraries.
I faced the same problem and looked at both android-active-record and ActiveAndroid. I found android-active-record didn't handle the things I cared about (relationships for example), and ActiveAndroid isn't free. Therefore, I decided to write my own library. It's called AndroidRecord and it's hosted on GitHub and you're free to do with it what you want (I think I'm going to go with the MIT license). I use this every day and I'm content with it, but I'd love to get feedback.
If you need to know how to use it, I'm working on the documentation. If you need it right away, you can check out this lame example project which should be enough to dip your toes in. You can also email me of course.
There's also Neodatis and Perst (Lite).
EDIT: In 2012 the advice would be to use the ORM component of DroidParts (which is my project).
Have a look at Androrm. It is open source and well documented (see here). If you ever worked with django, you will notice, that the syntax is very similar.
Androrm also supports abstraction classes for the most common field types, plus relational fields. This way it enables you to query for your data in an very easy manner with only very little effort on your side.
I was comparing basics of ormlite and greendao some time ago. You might want to take a look there. I plan to write some follow up with more advanced stuff in the near future but for now it's only a basic stuff. In my own project I'm using GreenDAO.
SQLite is explicitly part of Android:
However you might have to create your own abstraction layer (query builder for simple queries), or otherwise deal with SQL.
Maybe http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteQueryBuilder.html is what you need?

I have dealt with the South and southern politics in previous posts; so we are not going to break major new ground here. But I think it is worthwhile to update what some of today's experts are saying about the South and its role in American democracy and history.
It would be a pleasure to report that what John Malkovich has come up with as part of the 2013 Lincoln Center Festival is a refreshing aperitif. It isn't.
The pro-gun vs. anti-gun debate does not address the realities of gun violence in America and the most critical issues in preventing it.
It was inappropriate to deny playwright Tony Kushner an honorary degree. Although, in my judgment, he is hostile to the State of Israel, he was not being honored by John Jay College for his views on Israel.

Right now, I'm reading:
This website form, growing eerily agitated as I do so, I might add.
My favorite story of all time is:
The Hobbit
In bed I like to read:
Smut...pure, unadulterated, x-rated...smut, most definitely, doesn't everyone?
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
so many frickin blogs and websites I couldn't begin to list them all. I also still read stories at the library down the street.
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
I might be referring to a comic strip, something like "The Born Loser," or maybe something involving Charlie Brown
What six words would I tell my teen self if I could go back in time?
Be your own best friend, always
The song that encapsulates the soundtrack of my life is?
The Crying Game
If I could have one person read my writing on SMITH it would be?
Mrs. Carolyn Pell, my high school English school teacher, from whom I learned so much.
