Skip to comments.Obama's cheap 'shot': These men died with honor, but the president dishonors their memories
Posted on 08/14/2011 5:39:36 AM PDT by lowbridge
Thirty American troops came home to Dover Air Force Base last week.
They died when their helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan by Taliban with rocket-propelled grenades. Many were members of SEAL Team Six, the fabled special operations unit that flew stealth choppers into Pakistan after Osama bin Laden, putting the old monster down in a pile of his porno tapes.
Nineteen of the 30 families asked for no media coverage of the ceremony at Dover that request for privacy was, of course, honored.
By everyone, that is, except Barack Obama.
He slipped in a personal photographer, who snapped a dramatic photo of the president saluting in silhouette.
This was not an item for the private Obama scrapbook, to go beside a copy of the Standard & Poors letter downgrading Americas credit rating. The White House pushed it to every major media outlet, and made it Photo of the Day on its official website
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
| The press wasn't allowed at the ceremony when the service members came home because the majority of the families said no. Why is there the photo, from the White House out there showing Jackwagon Obama saluting?
Obama brought along the White House photographer sort of 'incognito' to get a photo of him saluting, in an effort to make him look like an actual leader for campaign usage.
The transparently and consistently self-serving Zer0 was trained to bow, not to salute (except for political necessity). He's not heartbroken for the loss of these fine men. This destructive, anti-American, anti-military, socialist cypher has no right, whatsoever, to return any salute... but the show must go on. He'll do whatever he wants regardless of the Pentagon or grieving families' desires.
This administration was so self absorbed with winning the next election it revealed to our enemies the unit involved in the Bin Laden raid, putting a target on these soldiers. They now have the blood of these defenders of our freedom on their hands. Then he insults us with this photo op. Our country deserves better than this, and so do the fallen.
Two hours into freshman orientation my son could salute properly.
This salute would benefit greatly from a few minutes in the shark tank.
How many times do I need to flush before he goes away?
Just noticed the gentleman at the far left. He's covered but is not offering a salute.
Odd. Or protocol that only the highest ranking officer salutes?
Frankly, Obama looks like he is making a call to prayer. Odd photo. And isn't the middle person really Jughead from an Archie comic book?
I've seen that man render a proper salute.
He crashed the memorial service for the CIA operators too. He's a puke. No wonder he wasn't invited to the Royal Wedding.
Looks rather like he is being sworn in before a judge.
p.s. there must have been strict instructions to not have his ears visible.
Funny how the leftist media always took pot-shots at Bush and Reagan at every opportunity when they paid their respects for fallen heros, even though their love for our military was well-known and accepted. With Obama, he has no respect for the military. He has no respect for the average American, in fact. This POS should be frog-marched out of the WH straight to prison for what he's done and is still doing to America. It just goes to show you how far America has fallen in just ten years due to the ever-destructive "enemy within".
The "Stolen Valor" poster you've shown should be plastered EVERYWHERE in the fall of 2012, so we don't forget what kind of opportunist we've got for CIC.
Why should anyone be surprised?
One has to know what honor IS before one can observe it.
To many more times, we have over a year to go. This was a shameful act by a despicable boy child. Yes a boy child, to use to getting his way.
Those brave men who gave their lives for this country deserved better than this.
Trace Adkins Salute to our Fallen
Looks like he's thumbing his nose.
Everything this guys does is a photo op.
At least he didnt give the "Crotch" Salute like he did in that one photo.
He is a classless buffoon. Like a wedding guest who wears a Tux even though he isnt in the wedding.
But they dont teach manners in Kenya.
Maybe bozo was saluting when it was not the right time to salute.
Is he saluting the fallen American servicemen or the Muslim scum who killed them ?
Why yes, it does look like Obama is thumbing his nose. Would the master of the middle finger salute stoop so low?
Just noticed the gentleman at the far left. Hes covered but is not offering a salute.
That guy must be O's chauffeur.
I would have delayed the announcement until some date when the harvesting of the info is complete and only remarked that OBL was killed in a raid and showed off pics of his dead carcass.
I think we squandered an opportunity to take advantage of the intel taken from OBL's compound.
> The only thing that was going to be said about who killed OBL was supposed to be this: it was done by a Special Ops unit, nothing else was to be said.
Put this bum in Khost with a beanbag gun.
You beat me to it. In addition, the American people were denied the viewing of Osama Bin Ladens body or the so called ceremony at sea. We didn't get the chance to see the justice done, but he couldn't wait to go meet our Seal Team bodies in order to salute who? He makes me sick!
Most likely. He surely had a choice of photos to select from-and this is what he picked. No coincidences.
...and could make an attempt at delivering a reasonable one out of politeness and duty even with his arms full of a liberal-reporter-killing-canine-machine...
In looking at salutes, though, I find that Obastard salutes most like Good Old Cow-Taint Face himself:
Or some other third world dictator:
"That ain't no salute ... it's a read-between-the-lines hand signal."
You have a point.
A difference between the military hand salutes of the U.S. military and the Russian military hand is that the former touches the brim of the cover and the latter approaches but doesnt touch the right temple.
The alleged photographer shown getting aboard the helo for the trip to Dover was carrying a camera capable of capturing any proper hand salute O may have rendered in this instance.
The fact O and his advisors selected this photo raises any number of questions and observations.
"How. You paleface, me big Chief."
And in light of that, which is which indeed? Gadaffi or Obama?
The Royal couples loss. Now they're out a great wedding gift of all the Abbott and Costello movies on Region 1 DVD.
Looks like he's thumbing his nose at them. Thanks lowbridge.
Oh Yeah !
I started yesterday.
Thanks.... Now I have coffee sprayed all over my screen. You nailed it.
Chauffeur maybe?
Da**! Side by side like that pretty well nails it for me. Those pics should be plastered around. He deserves a full "swiftboat" approach.
The fact that it was announced in the press before he went and that he wanted the press there but the families said NO tells us all that this was for his new movie coming out in Oct '12.
W went to many of these homecomings and to Walter Reed to visit the wounded completely unannounced before or afterwords and without press.
He can't help put his hands where they do not belong, and this necrophiliac likes to molest the dead too.
Sicko of the whitehouse, brought to you by a clueless government and electorate. Bubye.
That pic was photo-shopped. Look at the edges of the silhouettes.
That moment never occurred.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I seem to remember that Obama, when addressing the troops, said something to the affect of "You guys make a great photo-op."
Seems nothing has changed.
The f**king idiot doesn't even know how to properly execute a US military salute.

Is Democracy Possible Here?
Principles for a New Political Debate
Ronald Dworkin
Princeton University Press, $19.95, 192 pp.
Ronald Dworkin is a distinguished legal philosopher who also participates actively in academic debates concerning moral and political philosophy. As a longtime contributor to the New York Review of Books, he also comments regularly, as a public intellectual, on questions of policy and politics. Is Democracy Possible Here? represents a fusion of these modes-an effort to reconfigure American political discourse around basic moral principles.
It is hard to quarrel with Dworkin's point of departure. Contemporary American politics is not only polarized, but stupidly so. Combatants hurl words at their adversaries like infantrymen flinging grenades from foxholes. The point is not to persuade, but rather to demonize and if possible destroy. Dworkin asks whether this rhetorical free-fire zone corresponds with the deep structure of our politics. Is it the case that red and blue America have so little in common that political speech is war by other means? On closer inspection, might we not agree on certain basic principles, and might these principles not serve as the basis of a more reasonable and productive political debate?
Dworkin answers these questions in the affirmative. He believes he has identified two principles-two dimensions of human dignity-that we share, regardless of our political differences. The first he calls the principle of intrinsic value. It holds that "each human life has a special kind of...

2012-13 Reasonable Expectations: Dennis Wideman
Ryan Pike
September 11 2012 09:40AM
Outside of bringing in Jiri Hudler and Roman Cervenka to the organization, arguably the most important addition to the Calgary Flames this summer was Dennis Wideman. In fact, he may be more crucial to the success of the club than any of the new forwards.
To be blunt, the Flames got very little offense from their blueline last season. Consequently, their power-play also got very few goals from their back end. Enter Wideman, who was tenth in points among NHL blueliners and, had he been on the Flames, he would've had more points than anyone not named Iginla, Jokinen, Tanguay or Glencross.
But how will Wideman fare on the Flames?
Flames Forwards Shot Rates - Part 1
Kent Wilson
September 10 2012 12:11PM
Ryan Lambert recently noted Mike Cammalleri's low shot volume in his Five Things feature. That mention got me curious about investigating the main guy's shot rates last year in depth and to relate it to their possession rates and overall performance.

Usually we'd be starting to talk about training camp around this time. Instead, the focus is still the possible lockout, the summer's activities by Canada's NHL teams and advanced stats and how they enhance our enjoyment of the game. We explore these topics and others with guests Harrison Mooney, Terry Jones and more.

FN Weekend Open Thread - What We Lost In the Lock-out
Kent Wilson
September 08 2012 10:23AM
Thinking about the current labour situation and the possibility of another lock-out, it got me reminiscing about the previous work stoppage and what it cost the Calgary Flames. This time, the price may be Iginla's final season in Flames colors or even Kippers. It could mean the end of era, snuffed out by the venal interests of very rich men.

Release Date:
June 15, 2010
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was formed in 1847 and the all-volunteer choir recorded its first record, "Let the Mountains Shout for Joy," on September 1, 1910, and in the hundred years since, the choir -- which currently has 360 members -- has recorded 175 albums and done thousands of concerts and performances. This two-disc set (which also includes a bonus CD and DVD) collects some of the best tracks from that long legacy, including a digitally cleaned-up version of the original 1910 recording of "Let the Mountains Shout for Joy" and a similarly reconstituted "Worthy of the Lamb" from 1927. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has become an American institution (they're the longest standing recording group in the United States) and this fine set shows why. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

From the Inside Flap
Roslyn Byrne is twenty-four years old, broken in body, heart and soul. Her career as a professional ballet dancer ended with a car wreck and a miscarriage, leaving her lost and grieving. She needs a new path, but she doesn't have the least idea how or where to start. With some shoving from her very Southern mama, she immures herself for the summer on
Manny's Island, Georgia, one of the Sea Isles, to recover.
There Roslyn finds a ten-year-old girl, Damascus, who brings alligators, pumpkins and hoodoo into her sorry life.
Roslyn rents a house from Damascus's family, the Trezevants, a strange bunch. One of the cousins, Nonnie, who works in the family's market, sees things Roslyn is pretty sure she shouldn't, and knows things regular people don't. Between the Trezevant secrets and Damascus's blatant snooping and meddling, Roslyn finds herself caught in a mysterious stew of the past and present, the music of the river, the dead and the dying who haunt the riverbank, and a passion for living her new life.
From the Back Cover
Can she find herself in the sweetness of old songs, old ways, and the gentle magic of the river people?
"Kimberly Brock has an amazing voice and a huge heart; The River Witch welcomes the reader to a haunted landscape, authentically Southern, where the tragedies of the past and the most fragile, gorgeous kind of love-soaked hope are equally alive. This is one debut that you absolutely should not miss."
~~ Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times Best-Selling author of Backseat Saints
"Kimberly Brock's The River Witch achieves what splendid writing ought to achieve - story and character that linger in the reader's consciousness. Such is the power of Roslyn Byrne, who retreats to Manny's Island, Georgia, in search of herself, only to discover her great need of others. Tender and intriguing, often dazzling in its prose, this is a mature work of fiction worthy of the celebration of praise."
~~ Terry Kay, Honored Georgia author of To Dance With the White Dog
"There is magic and wonder in "The River Witch," but the real enchantment here is the strength of the characters Roslyn and Damascus. Their voices are the current that carries the reader along in this compelling tale of healing and discovery."
~~ Sharyn McCrumb, New York Times Best-Selling author of The Ballad of Tom Dooley
"With lyrical prose, Kimberly Brock explores the hidden places of the heart. The River Witch is a magical and bewitching story that, like a river, winds its way through the soul. In the voices of her wounded characters, Brock takes us through both the breaking and the healing of a life."
~~ Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times Best-Selling author of Driftwood Summer

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a firewall on Windows 7 that can only allow network traffic to one IP address, and from that one IP address?
I'm using a VPN that tunnels all my internet traffic to one I. However sometimes my computer will still receive traffic from other IP's, and send out to other IP addresses.
This happens especially if a program is already open before the VPN tunnel is established. If anyone would happen to know any decent freeware firewall that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

Dec. 6: All About Developmental Disabilities Opens New Family Support Center in Atlanta
Providing Vital Life Transition Assistance to Georgians Living with Disabilities
WHERE: AADD Family Support Center, 125 Clairemont Avenue, Suite 300, Decatur, GA 30030
WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 6, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
WHY: For people living with developmental disabilities, transitions are a challenge, be it from elementary to high school, high school to college, to a new job or to a new living place. There are emotional, physical and financial issues, and the new FSC is designed to make it easier for families to navigate the process.
Funding for the FSC was made possible through money raised by the Cathedral Antiques Show, a community outreach project sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of the Cathedral of St. Philip. The 2012 show raised $312,000, specifically to benefit the FSC.
Family Support Center Services
Developmental disabilities cover a wide spectrum, making it crucial that the services are tailored to each individual's needs. Services offered by the Family Support Center include:
· Person-Centered Planning – A process-oriented planning approach to empowering those with developmental disabilities, focused on putting people in charge of defining the directions for their lives.
· Personal Advocacy — FSC staff work with individuals and families to gain access to appropriate resources and services through consultation, advice and information.
· Navigational Advocacy – Government processes can be insurmountable obstacles to those unfamiliar with them. A team of consultants helps individuals and families understand the various offerings of government and educational institutions and assists them in obtaining the most appropriate services and financial aid available.
· Peer Support Groups - Offered weekly for women, teens, men and caregivers. Support groups are formed in the fall and spring for six-month cycles.
· Resource Center – Provides information on services and referrals to other organizations and services in the community.
Available Interviews:
· Board President, Lisa Blanco
· Interim Director, Kathy Keeley
· Family Support Services Director Azalene James
· Client families
About All About Developmental Disabilities
Founded in 1956, All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating lifelong support, education and opportunities for children, adults and families living with developmental disabilities.

I LOVE dirigible tours!!!!
That WAS the governor, Jonah.
Um, he's not the governor, he lost, remember?
My goodness what a good plan. Thank god he thought of the hydrofoil and derigible tours. Otherwise I would've though "THIS MAN IS CRAZY" but now I realize just how thin the line is between insanity and genius.
The part that's not crazy is that we are building disposable bridges. The I-90 has a useful life of 75 years. The current 520 apparently only was good for about 40 years.
Washington has 4 of the 5 longest floating bridges in the world.
Most people think Lake Washington is too deep but it's deepest point is only 214'. That is deep but bridge footings have been built deeper, for example the Bay Bridge has a footing over 230' deep.
I'm stunned by the brilliance of this plan!!
IF we would loosen up roads and bridges from being the near-total state monopoly that they are now, we would get more innovative solutions. Maybe not the one above, but more innovative stuff.
The monorail was supposed get extra money from renting out party trips. So this is better, really. If we built the bridge sixteen lanes in each direction and had it feed into the three lanes of I-5 going each direction, traffic would on the bridge would basically come to a standstill, and we could just charge people overnight fees to sleep in their cars on the bridge, kind of a fancy KOA with a lake view--could even put in fire rings and showers.
THAT (the inset text) was the best Mudede post EVER!!!
You know, if we just mined the lake with those WW II floating mines, we could rent out guides to small watercraft to guide people across ...
Don't want to pay the toll, hope your not in a mined lane ...
How about the state just pays for the State Route bridge and stops whining?
I'd pay millions to live in a condo built on a bridge tower in the middle of a huge lake under which a large fault runs.
Of course, it would be earthquake proof...
Any place to land my jet pack and park my hovercraft out of the rain?
The reason there are hardly any other floating bridges anywhere else in the world is that we in Puget Sound are smarter and more advanced in our transportation planning.
Some of those bridges that float can last as long as 60-75 years.
That's decades. Decades. Longer than the bonds to pay for them.
Longer than many of us LIVE.
This is all out of order. First we get back on the gold standard. Then we withdraw from the UN. Then... no wait first we elect Ron Paul. Then we do that other stuff.
THEN we get dirigibles, hydrofoils and helipads on our bridges that pay taxes.
This is one of those moral truths that can be proven MATHEMATICALLY! Read Starship Troopers people. For GOD'S SAKE read Starship Troopers while there's still time...
WashDot's official reasons not to build conventional - apparently they don't know that the deepest spot is just over 200' although I'm only guessing that's what "Lake Washington is between 200 and 400 feet" means - gives one a lot of confidence in their analysis. Could they maybe tell us how much more it would cost for a bridge that could last much longer.
Why is WSDOT building a floating bridge over Lake Washington as opposed to a conventional suspension bridge? A conventional suspension bridge over Lake Washington would not work for several reasons:
Suspension bridges need to travel in a fairly straight line. Because SR 520 is a curved corridor, a suspension bridge would not be possible.
Lake Washington is between 200 and 400 feet, and the bridges support towers would have to be approximately 630 feet in height, nearly the height of the Space Needle, to support the bridge. These massive towers would be out of character with the surroundings because it would create more noise and block views.
Conventional fixed bridges, such as the new bridge over the Tacoma Narrows, are expensive to build in deeper waters with soft beds, such as Lake Washington.
next time i get really stoned, i will be sure to send my ideas over to the stranger.
then again, at least whoever sent that in was at least rubbing a couple neurons together as opposed to our legislators who are all in too much of a food-and-cash coma from the various lobbies to even think about doing anything out-of-the-box.
We have floating bridges because we can't build any other kind. Not only is Lake Washington 400 fucking feet deep, it's bottom is amorphous, which mud of varying and changing densities going down for another undetermined depth. We can't build pilings.
Barring a massive leap in technology, or a seismic event that puts some strategically placed bedrock, we're gonna have floating bridges for a long time.
I think the floating bridges should also have turrets with cannons in them, so as to ward other, competing floating bridges away from their turf, and to blast away vehicles that have the temerity to stall along the shoulders during rush hour.
Floating bridges are retarded. So are canoes.
They should both be banned.
gitai its 200 feet deep where's your can do attitude?
the depth of Lake Washington doesn't matter if the base won't be stable, go to Bellevue on your hydrofoil whatever
The bottom of Lake Washington is murky, nasty shit that just keeps getting murkier and nastier as you go down. The depth to the "bottom" of the lake is pretty arbitrary - it depends on what density of muck you use to define the "bottom." You'd be sinking caissons for a LONG time before you got to anything solid. Oh, and the deeper you go, the wider your columns need to be. A floating bridge is in fact more feasible than a suspension bridge. That's why both I-90 and 520 have floating bridges.
VD84 - Sims will own the hydrofoils, check the new county ferry system.
Greg - why is it that in the whole world Seattle has four of the five longest floating bridges?
How do they anchor the current bridges in the muck?

Incredibly located only metres away from the historic centre of the Etruscan Perugia, this wonderful apartment offers terraces, views and stunning garden.
Just a short distance (100mt) from the ancient "doors" of city of Perugia, this beautiful home is a true jewel. Only newly made available for rental, the apartment is situated on the 3rd (top) floor of a large restored farmhouse with medieval origins.
The apartment has independent access through an external stairwell covered in wisteria.
It is a large apartment (100 square metres) with a spacious bright living/dining room and open kitchen.
Two bedrooms; one with king bed, the other one with twin beds, one 90cm and one 120cm large, each have an en suite bathroom. If you need a baby-cot it is available.
The apartment has an East facing terrace, perfect to enjoy breakfast, and a "covered" West facing terrace, ideal for al-fresco dinners.
All linens for bed/bathroom and for the kitchen will be provided.
Hair dryer
Free wi-fi.
The house is set in a green surrounding with flowers and olive trees, although in the middle of town, right on the hill heading up to the center of the city. (I'm very fortunate to live here all year.)
Upon arrival, I will make sure that you'll find all that you need: coffee, milk, sugar, salt, oil, a pack of pasta and tinned tomatoes, bread and jam.
The kitchen is fully equipped with micro-wave, toaster, boiler and coffee-machine.
So do not worry about anything and start enjoying this beautiful heart of Italy.
And upon your return enjoy a bottle of complementary wine.
The apartment is situated at walking-distance to the Universities (Italian Uni.+Uni. for Foreigners) and the city centre.
Within the neighbourhood, at less than 10 minutes' walk, you'll find the tennis club, the swimming centre, and the mini metro', which can easily take you to a number of destinations. A 15 minutes' drive takes you to the golf courses and the equestrian centre.
Perugia is a stunning town and is also incredibly located. Some of the most beautiful Italian sites are only a short drive/train ride away. From Perugia you can easily do day trips by bus/train/car to: Assisi, Spoleto, Gubbio, Lago Trasimeno, Spello, Siena, Firenze and the National Parc of Monti Sibillini.
I love having guests and will be at your disposition for advice on day-trips, places where to eat and even offer Italian cooking lessons.

Ciao! my name is Cecilia and it is now a couple of years that I decided to make the third floor of my home available for rental. I have so much enjoyed this first period of renting, since you have all become personal friends! And some of you have also come back again and again!
I have lived in Perugia for over 40 years and love this corner of the world with its traditions, natural and historical beauty and culinary feasts. Umbria is the Italian region with a perfect balance of great locations, friendly people, good quality of life, safe cities, medieval villages, superb food and wine....a kind of paradise! Perugia is a real jewel, narrow medieval streets, wonderful restaurants, good wine and olive oil, along with hundreds of great locations to visit within less than 30/40 minutes by car/train. If you decide to come here, I will be delighted to suggest itineraries, places to visit and share with you a bit of real Italian life. I would be delighted to also show you how to cook some Italian specialties, as cooking is my passion! Hope to meet you soon, Cecilia

6. Wine
Probably, of all tastes, wine is the most intimidating. There are so many varieties from so many countries that it is almost impossible for a beginner to know where to start. But, it is definitely worth the effort and dollars to find out what you like, because few meals ever taste better than they do when accompanied by a terrific bottle of wine.
Despite the popularity of wine, many people only allow themselves to choose from a limited range for fear of wasting their money on a bad bottle or, even worse, looking dumb to wine store staff or restaurant servers. They also tend to keep it domestic and, while there are some exceptional wines being made in the U.S., this really does limit the experience. My advice is to look at the grapes used in the types of domestic wines you like to drink and then look to buy wines from abroad from the regions where those grapes originated. That way, you can compare and see if you think they are worth the extra expenditure. If you like Oregon Pinot Noir, try wines from Burgundy. If you like Zinfandel, try Italian Primitivo and if you like Tempranillo, try a great Rioja.

WHITE ROCK — While the lock on the recently erected gates at the west beach boat launch have been removed and public access once more allowed, Coun. Alan Campbell is reminding the public not to push the issue.
According to Campbell, who sits on the city's rail safety task force, as the city continues to work with Transport Canada and railway owner Burlington Northern Santa Fe to resolve the issue, residents can do their bit by adhering to the rules and staying off the tracks in the meantime.
"We're at the municipal level and we're dealing with this provincially and federally — as well with the United States," he said. "So it moves slowly and you've got to get all your ducks in a row."
Campbell said the recent orders from Transport Canada were likely due to the death of jogger Anita Lewis last July, a senior citizen recently being struck by a train in February, as well as the continued focus on coal trains and dangerous good transportation in the community. As a result, Campbell said while the intention of the latter two topics is to enact change, it was inevitable that they would also highlight people's behaviours around the tracks.
"What happens is that the bear has been poked, and when you poke the bear BNSF and Transport Canada come down to meet with us to see what we can do to mitigate the safety issues," he said. "So BNSF came for a walk and were astonished to see people walking on the tracks, crossing where they shouldn't as was Transport Canada."
As a result, BNSF requested the city put up additional railings on the tracks a few weeks back, which it did and then just last week Transport Canada ordered a two-metre tall gate be erected at the west beach boat launch. The gate lock was later removed Friday, allowing residents to continue passing through the launch so long as the gates remained closed after use.
"Closing the boat launch was a real stinger for us," said Campbell.
In addition, the city has released several proposed points of action to be undertaken in order to have the current restriction of access removed. Those points include the installation of signs and painted lines and text on both sides of the tracks, 'no parking' markings added to the north side of the track and replacing the railway crossing sign on the south side of the track.
"So we're going to get back to it but you have to be aware if you poke the bear there's going to be consequences," said Campbell.
"In the meantime the general public continue every day to break the rules, they go under the rails and over the rails, they run across in front of trains and they need to stop.I know people get frustrated but that's how it is with government, it's a lot of phone calls, meetings, correspondence."

Noah Baumbach: Visibly Human
Scott Foundas
Mar 2013
In his films, Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Kicking and Screaming) punctuates "cruelty with tenderness, always taking pains to make sure his characters remain visibly human," writes Village Voice critic Scott Foundas, who interviews Baumbach at the Walker April 5. Here he reflects on Baumbach works that tend to focus on issues of "intellectual one-upmanship and questionable parenting."

Painter Painter: Reframing a Medium
Julie Caniglia
Jan 2013
The resolute materiality of painting continues to attract artists, says Painter Painter co-curator Eric Crosby.

"A lot of artists today embrace that notion, going where the materials take them, not where the history of painting tells them to go."

"Undiscovered Paradise (Under Constrution)" Carriacou Island by TuanRonski
Carriacou Island Travel Guide: 24 reviews and 97 photos
That is what the Carib meant by Carriacou, and that is what you get here- beautiful beaches, stunning reefs, colorful waters, and succulant seafood. Don't look for a Walmart or McDonald's here, nor a super resort teaming with sunburned tourists. You get sun, sand, surf and great food, deserted beaches, and lots of friendly people.
- Pros:Great beaches, reefs, seafood, privacy
- Cons:Mosquitoes
- In a nutshell:Can just relax and enjoy life without any pressures here.

Reviews for Love Link Ministries Inc
A friend once said to me, "Love Link stretches a dollar further than any other charity I know about." That's true. Love Link Ministries mobilizes a lot of volunteers to accomplish it's mission of meeting needs and helped people experience life transformation. It recently has brought back to life an historic old building that had fallen into disuse.

I had a friend say that Love Link could make a dollar go further than any other non-profit they knew of. I think that's true. With a small paid staff and a host of volunteers, they do an incredible amount of good.

A Rustic County At Rest in Beauty
By JON PARELES
Published: June 6, 1997
''NATURE has been very lavish here in the gifts of her beauty,'' the landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church wrote to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow from Hudson, N.Y. Church was quietly boasting about Olana, the Persian-style mansion he had built on his hillside overlooking the Hudson River. A century later, Church's assessment still holds true, not only for Olana itself but for all of Columbia County.
My wife and I spent a long Memorial Day weekend in Columbia County, which stretches from the Massachusetts border to the Hudson River. About a three-hour drive from New York City, Columbia County has a full-time population of 63,200 people, along with plenty of cows and sheep. Although bagels and cappuccino can be tracked down in towns like Hudson, weekenders from New York City haven't brought too many pretensions to Columbia County. It's still farm country, where most of the tallest structures are silos and it's hard to find a road that's not breathtakingly scenic.
There is open, rolling farmland on the western side of the county, the legacy of huge tracts claimed by Dutch and British landholders in the 17th century. To the east, where New Englanders pushed into New York State, the land furrows and rises toward the Taconic Mountains and the Berkshires. Along with the cows, there's history built on the hillsides, from opulent river estates like Olana and Clermont (the Livingston family mansion in Germantown, N.Y.) to the idealistic austerity of a former Shaker village in the hills of New Lebanon.
For our visit, we intended to see some mansions, soak up some history, rummage through antiques stores and gaze out over green vistas, which were everywhere. A stretch of County Road 10 has a sign announcing it was the ''National Beauty Award Highway 1969,'' but in Columbia County it's just an average street; we saw equally bucolic stretches on Route 203, on County Road 31, on Route 23 and even on parts of Route 9. We stayed in bed-and-breakfast inns at two ends of the county. The Inn at Green River, in Hillsdale, was built in 1830 and was once a parsonage for the Lutheran church next door. It's tucked into the Berkshires foothills at the Massachusetts border, and our room looked out on a meadow where Adirondack chairs and a hammock awaited warmer weather. The room was uncluttered and well furnished, with a desk, good reading chairs and a queen-size bed; the innkeeper whipped up breakfasts like lemon-ricotta pancakes.
Hillsdale is an unprepossessing town, but it has one superb restaurant: Aubergine, in a handsome old Federal house. The cooking was distinctive, unflashy and utterly satisfying: salmon with asparagus risotto, farfalle with home-smoked vegetables in rosemary cream sauce. For dessert, we shared a gravity-defying hazelnut souffle. Dinner was about $100 for two.
Hillsdale also has the Rodgers Book Barn, well stocked and far more extensive than it appears, although it's three and a half miles from any main road. As we looked through books, rose-breasted grosbeaks tussled with a Baltimore oriole at a birdfeeder by the window.
In southeastern Columbia County, we stayed at the Inn at Blue Stores, in Livingston. It's an oddity: a Spanish-Mission-influenced building built in 1908, with a stucco exterior and a terra-cotta-tiled roof, in a working farm on Route 9. Inside, the inn is a Victorian apparition, with dark wood paneling, leaded-glass windows and old brass light fixtures. The rooms, which have televisions, are filled with mirrors, figurines, a butterfly in a glass box, embroidered flowers and lace everywhere, from the lampshades to the shower curtain. There were Dutch apple pancakes for breakfast.
Just across the street are a pair of rusting gas pumps that Edward Hopper might have depicted. And up Route 9 in Claverack we happened on a true country flea market, open on weekends in a former apple-processing barn at Bryant Farms. With three dozen dealers, it's a place to find silver dollars, sleds, books, fishing rods, shotgun ammo, old door hinges and all sorts of other things on the border between antiques and junk. There was a nice selection of stag heads, along with a stuffed bear.
The Shaker Way
Our first day's itinerary led us north toward Chatham, a bastion of New England-style and Shaker architecture. Chatham itself (population 1,920) was a thriving whistle-stop at the end of the 19th century, with four railroad stations. Railroad crossings still stop traffic in the center of town, which holds an 1811 inn, a movie theater, an antiques center and a jaunty old clocktower. In nearby New Concord and Old Chatham, genteel white clapboard farmhouses loom among the pastures.
The Shaker Village in New Lebanon, where more than 30 Shaker buildings still stand, must have seemed like a hamlet of skyscrapers when it was built, from the end of the 18th century to just before the Civil War. Its three- and four-story buildings have an image of straight-backed rectitude, with long windows that are narrow as if to point heavenward; originally, many of them were painted ocher yellow, while the meetinghouse, with its arching roof, was white. Earthly and spiritual wisdom are still being sought on the site, which is now divided between main owners. One is the Darrow School, which allows visits to some of the buildings (though not on the Friday we were there). Just over a hill is the Abode of the Message, a Sufi order that presents courses, lectures and retreats; a large sign at the entrance proclaimed, ''Welcome Retreatists.''

Tickets on sale for 'Tartuffe' at Brevard College
Published: Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 10:08 p.m.
BREVARD -- Brevard College's Department of Theatre Studies will present Molire's "Tartuffe" April 29 through May 1 at the Morrison Playhouse in the Porter Center for Performing Arts.
First performed in May of 1664 in Versailles, "Tartuffe" was quickly banned by King Louis XIV after the Archbishop of Paris threatened to excommunicate anyone who watched, performed in or read the play.
Moliere's classic satire, about a con man who uses religion to capture his prey, will be brought to life at Brevard College, with modernistic and hyperbolic influences on the production design.
Tartuffe (played by sophomore Alex Tompkins), a con artist whose latest con has him posing as a holy man, effortlessly dupes the patriarch of a prominent French household into giving him all that he owns in the name of God.
There's just one problem: Everyone in the family, with the exception of the head of the household, Orgon (played by sophomore Adrian Wagner), and his mother, Madame Pernelle (played by junior Bethany Tebo), know of Tartuffe's evil schemes, and it's up to them to stop him before the family's future is left in ruins.
This version of Moliere's play, translated from French by Ranjit Bolt, is "irreverent and blessed with a filthy wit," says Charles Spencer of The Daily Telegraph.
In a world rife with schemes and tricks around every corner, Tartuffe expresses that, no matter the time period and no matter the situation, anyone can con and be conned.
"Moliere's style of comedy is one that transcends time and place, easily bringing the audience into his fantastic and chaotic world," says Tebo, one of the actors.
"Brevard should be ready to be tantalized by Tartuffe!" says junior Caitlin Kennedy, cast in the role of the family's maid, Dorine.
Curtain time for all performances is 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets are $10 for adults and $2 for students (with a student ID).
They may be purchased from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Porter Center Box Office. For ticket information, call the Porter Center Box Office at 828-884-8330.
