PG Pre-Draft to be live-streamed
: : Story
Jeff Dahn
Sunday, May 12, 2013
To view the full workouts and batting practice, please visit this link:
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The Perfect Game Pre-Draft Showcase is one of PG's longest running, dating to 1999 when young prospects such as Carl Crawford, Joel Hanrahan and Jeff Clement were in attendance. Now, years later, the Pre-Draft has its foundation firmly planted in the 21st
century while it welcomes the next generation of future major-leaguers to eastern Iowa.
The 15th
annual PG Pre-Draft Showcase will be held at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Monday, May 13, and for the first time the event will be live-streamed on
. This will provide scouts, college coaches and the prospects' family members and friends that are unable to attend the showcase an avenue on which to watch online.
Skillshow will be producing video from the entire event – workouts and game action – and iHigh will live-stream the video through a link on Perfect Game's website. PG Vice President of Player Personnel David Rawnsley will provide live on-air analysis and insight on all of the nearly 50 prospects that will be in attendance.
The PG Pre-Draft Showcase is designed to give top high school and junior college prospects a final opportunity to perform in front of the scouting community before June's MLB First-Year Player Draft. The showcase is always held on a Monday so as not to interfere with weekend college games, thus providing scouting directors and cross-checkers an event that won't conflict with any others on their schedule.
Highly regarded prospects from nine states and Puerto Rico will be in attendance. But it is the presence of three prospects from Venezuela and five others from Canada that make this year's Pre-Draft Showcase a truly international event.
The two mostly highly ranked draft-eligible prospects in attendance happen to be a couple of left-handed pitchers from the Midwest. Jake Brentz, a left-hander/outfielder from Ballwin, Mo., has signed with Missouri and is ranked the No. 51 overall prospect in the draft; A.J. Puk, a left-hander/first baseman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has signed with Florida and is ranked No. 71 on PG's draft board. Those rankings project both players to be selected sometime in the first two rounds.
Brentz is ranked the No. 18 national prospect in the high school class of 2013. Puk, who played in the 2012 Perfect Game All-American Classic, is ranked No. 20.
Another 2012 PG All-American who will be on hand is Alabama right-hander Kevin Davis, an Auburn signee from Brewton. Davis is the No. 69-ranked national prospect in the class of 2013 and is projected to go anywhere from rounds 4 through 10 in the draft.
Texas right-hander Andrew Dunlap, a Rice signee from Houston who set an event record when he threw a 96 mph fastball at the PG Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase in February, will also pitch Monday. He is a converted catcher who is ranked 56th
nationally in the 2013 class, and who, like Davis, is projected as a rounds 4-10 type of guy.
2013 right-hander Casey Meisner from Cypress, Texas, is ranked 93rd
nationally and is yet another prospect projected to be taken in the first 10 rounds. Meisner is a Texas Tech recruit and will be joined at the showcase by fellow Red Raiders signee Bryce Welborn, a right-hander from The Woodlands, Texas.
The highest nationally ranked 2013 position players that will be on hand include: No. 75 Ronnie Healy, a catcher out of Jupiter, Fla. (Broward CC); No. 79 Ian Hagenmiller, a shortstop from West Palm Beach, Fla. (Palm Beach State); and No. 89 Stephen Alemais, a middle-infielder from New York City who attends Elev8 Sports Institute in Florida (Tulane). All three are projected as first-10-rounds selections heading into Monday's Pre-Draft Showcase.
2013 Canadian prospects Lachlan Fontaine from North Vancouver, B.C.; Malik Collymore from Mississauga, Ontario; and Daniel Pinero from Toronto, are all intriguing. Fontaine, a third baseman, is ranked 136th
nationally (both U.S. and Canada) and No. 2 in British Columbia (Central Arizona CC); Collymore, a shortstop, is No. 178 nationally and No. 3 in Ontario (Blinn College); and Pinero, also a shortstop, is No. 406 nationally and No. 5 in Ontario (Virginia).

Manager Brendan Rodgers showed the £35 million striker the door at Anfield despite failing to bring in a replacement.
Carroll scored just 11 goals in 58 games for Liverpool, but earned a place in England's Euro 2012 squad with some impressive performances in the spring, which included a goalscoring cameo in the FA Cup final.
"I haven't got a fair chance at Liverpool, and I was told that I should move on to a team where I'll play regular football," Carroll told ESPN.
"I kept my head a lot, and I could have lost it at Liverpool but I got my chance when we went away to the Euros and I took it.
"I know what I'm capable of and if other people don't believe it then that's fine really; I'll just get on with it."
The England striker is expected to return from injury for the Hammers' game at home to Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

Columns in the WCR
In his column on Page 19, Father Ayo Ayeni contrasts the conventional thinking and life of our age with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. The pursuit of wisdom, he says, leads one to communion and to understand love as sacrifice. The sinking into conventionality plants one in a blah existence, one lacking even in moral signposts.

A number of years ago, accompanied by an excellent Jesuit director, I did a 30-day retreat using the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. In the third week, there's a meditation on Jesus' agony in the garden. I did the meditation to the best of my ability and met with my director to discuss the result. He wasn't satisfied and asked me to repeat the exercise.
The designers of the format of the Western Catholic Reporter merit a goodly measure of credit in their choice of the name for this column the Word Made Flesh; even if on occasion the title may have an ironic, if unintended quality. (Did these planners enjoy its twin treasures of reverence and humour?)
Since we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity June 3, let us assess our understanding of the Trinity.
Pentecost is a feast of unity, as the gift of the Holy Spirit makes possible the unity that the Lord Jesus desires for his Church. To preserve the unity of the Church is one of the first duties of the pastor. The flock is to be brought into the one sheepfold.
Her rough voice rang in my ears. "I was just saying to someone at lunch I would far rather get a basket of those little packages of special food than get flowers. They just die."
The expected objection to the Canadian bishops' Pastoral Letter on Freedom of Conscience and Religion is that conscience rights cannot be given as high a priority as human rights. By allowing individuals to exercise their freedom of conscience in the public arena, so the argument goes, one is allowing them to infringe on the rights of others.
Recently a new expression has made its way into our theological and ecclesial vocabulary. There's a lot of talk today about the New Evangelization. Indeed the pope has called for a synod to meet this year for a month in Rome to try to articulate a vision and strategy for such an endeavour.
Occasionally, I reflect on the purpose of this column. So this is simply a personal meditation on the Word Made Flesh and our call to be disciples of Jesus.
On May 17, the Alberta March for Life event was held in Edmonton. I participated as a representative of Covenant Health. From the steps of the Legislature, I offered this selection of comments in solidarity with the marginalized, in particular those living with addictions and mental illness, a frequently overlooked and underserved population.

Authentic chalet style hotel, built entirely out of wood. Luxurious, nice gym and indoor pool, great outdoor jacuzzi, nice surroundings.
The outdoor sauna looks good but is not up to standard; guests were complaining to the concierge about it. Typically french service; we showed up 5 min before the end of breakfast hours and the staff was not pleased; they did not handle this the way you would expect in a 5* hotel, which is what they charge you for anyway. Be ware of the bartender, he'll serve you a 50$ drink without blinking!
the whole is staff is fantastic. Benn, the concierge was wonderful. they really made our stay even more special . We were to stay four nights, and we ended by staying a whole week.
What an amazing find; such friendly and helpful staff and welcoming guests - most of whom are returning for the umpteenth time. One of the French Alps best kept secrets - don't tell anybody......
Great location close to center of town, right next door to the grocery. Friendly staff, great wifi, pool, and just enough parking for my little car. We got some end of the season room rates, so we were very satisfied.
I think the little twin beds are on wheels so it was a challenge to keep them together. Couldn't really figure out if the restaurant was open. Also "end of the season" meant we couldn't stay an extra night because the hotel closed! However, the girls found us another room in town. Thanks!
Excellent, friendly, intelligent reception
Clean, cheap and a good location.
This hotel provides within its capabilites a good comfortable base from which to explore the area, with good quality food and service. Nice for a few days but then you would want to move on as repitition would errode the novelty.
Wooden traditional looking building, blends in well. Manager was pro-actively helpful to us from the get-go, and fluent in English; a good guy. 5 minutes nice stroll up to town. Good shower. Parking available. Great breakfast room view over the mountains
Lacked a mirror in the room and smells a bit musty. A bit of fruit at breakfast would be welcome. Nothing of consequence that detracted from the visit though
easy access to ski area and downtown. low budget.
downside is the fact that hotel staff wasnt so good at english.
Contemporary, luxury, design; comfortable rooms; an excellent spa; resourceful and friendly staff.
No outdoor pool or hot tubs. Too far from town centre.
A very nice hotel, we hope we could have stayed longer...To be tried at winter time!

Punkette dressed in tin foil
and celluloid, mini-skirt ephemeral
as an aura made hazy by Ecstasy
and weed, watercolored now, streaking,
painted like mascara on ladies room
mirrors punched into pieces and spread
among the stalls, a leprosy of dreaming,
flaking off as skin, extraneous limbs,
throbbing parts, disconnected in strobing
lights, tenuous as nightmares over the edge,
razor cut and bleeding, removed to
the dance floor, invincible and godlike,
hair like streamers on fire, eyes, neon headlamps,
flashing green, yellow, red so wide vehicles
might drive inside, become trapped, lost;
the sound of them fading the deeper they go.

Posted on 06/01/2011 2:01:36 PM PDT by turdhopper
WASHINGTON, DC- Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) released the following statement after he declined the President's invitation to the White House this morning: "I have respectfully declined the President's invitation to the White House today. I don't intend to spend my morning being lectured to by a President whose failed policies have put our children and grandchildren in a huge burden of debt. Over the past two years, President Obama and congressional Democrats have overseen the largest budget deficits in U.S. history. On top of that, the President's budget adds $1.3 trillion to our national debt every year for the next ten years - a budget that failed to muster a single vote in the Senate. Until the President produces a responsible deficit reduction plan, I'm not going to the White House to negotiate with myself. Our conference has put out for months where we would start the process. The President has done nothing, just like he has for the people of the Gulf Coast. For months, the Louisiana delegation has sent the President numerous requests to meet with him or his chief of staff concerning the de facto moratorium issued in the Gulf of Mexico, a de facto moratorium that has driven gas prices up and now threatens to derail economic recovery; the President hasn't even had the courtesy to write us a note back. I refuse to partake in his political grandstanding that will ultimately do nothing for debt reduction and job creation."
Bravo sir!
Good for him.
We need a few more in the GOP like Rep. Landry.
Let's start a trend, shall we?
has this guy formed an 'exploratory committee'? Sounds like he's running for President. Bravo!
Funny how those "dumb" Cajuns are a lot smarter than the smartest president in the universe!
(This caustic remark comes from a Cajun who'll debate any MSM idiot any day.)
I wish more PUBs had courage to respond that way. Accepting a meeting with this prez is like endorsing his theft of the future of the next generation.
Hear, hear!
Well done.
(standing ovation)
Congressman Jeff Landry, one of few with the courage to tell it like it is and not play "I'm the Magic N " games with the street hustler from Kenya.
A politician with guts!
How novel - and laudable!
The people of Louisiana are indeed fortunate.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Good going.
Thank you sir!
Good for you Rep. Landy!
Good for you Rep. Landy!
What he said.
A star is born! Well done, Sir.
Debt is only part of the problem, and one that Hussein proudly blames on GWB.
Hussein has sided with America's enemies, sued one of the 57 states, refused to prosecute thugs with weapons who intimidate voters at polling stations and has failed to provide even a basic history of who he really is.
I applaud Landry and his remarks. But members of congress should be calling Hussein on all of this and not just the debt.
I am totally impressed by his integrity AND courage of convictions!
Now HERE. Is a real man!!
Wow. Good job, Mr. Landry!
Awesome statement. Right between the eyes. We need more, much more. Every Republican in the House needs to be echoing this. The people are slowly waking up.
Scream and yell. Call out the arrogant SOB!
It's a tipping point. When everyone realizes that Landry won't spontaneously combust over this, they'll pile on :)
Neither of those links contain the complete statement as does this one.
Bravo Congressman Landry!!!
I salute you sir!
Landry for President!!
(before I get scolded it was a joke, but you never know)
A conservative populist who is not afraid to speak the truth can beat President light in the loafers.
Hey John Boehner! you listening?
Sorry he doesn't have a email for me to offer my hardy Bravo to him from outside his district.
Contact through his website:
Representative Jeff Landry

Fax: (202) 226-3944
I agree! This honesty is certainly a breath of fresh air for us all.
Now that Congersman Landry has a few extra minutes by skipping the meeting maybe he'll be the one to write up Obamuzzie's Articles of Impeachment——there's plenty of grounds. Try naming a combatant target personally for assassination. Or failing to produce a budget. We really, REALLY need to get rid of this dumbass before '012.
Wow, I guess the Republican can rent a set once in a while.
Who knew?
We should be seeing this type of thing constantly, not once every few months or even a year or so.
Boehner is tearing up over it.
Use ZIP Code 70360.
Veruh nice!!
That's going to leave a mark!
He is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm, having been discharged from the United States Army with the rank of sergeant. He served eleven years in the Louisiana National Guard. His military commendations include the Army Achievement and Army Commendation medals, National Defense and Overseas Training ribbons, and the Louisiana War Cross.
Landry is a former sheriff's deputy in St. Martin Parish and was previously a police officer in Parks in St. Martin Parish. He was formerly employed by the St. Martin Economic Development Authority. Out of high school, he worked in the sugar cane fields.
He is an attorney and small businessman from New Iberia, Louisiana.
Landry is a member of the Roman Catholic men's organization, the Knights of Columbus, as well as the American Legion, the American Bar Association, and the Iberia Parish Republican Executive Committee. An avid sportsman, he is a member of Ducks Unlimited and the National Rifle Association.
AMEN!!! This Dumbass was too stupid to legitimately get into Harvard Law or graduate! He was clearly sponsored by big Donors, most likely the Saudi Family of Saud. Obozo couldn't write a book or a real sentence! so he had his best friend, the Pentagon Bomber and Avowed Guity terrorist, Bill Ayers create the work of Fiction, "DREAMS FROM MY DRUNKEN, POLYGAMOUS, ILLEGAL ALIEN, HARVARD FLUNKOUT
ALLEGED FATHER!" We now have the teleprompter Presidency, the guy is too Illiterate and empty suited to provide his own words and beliefs, he is a terrible Liar, its so easy to see thru his bullcrap and objective of destroying AMERICA!
May America wake up to this Enemy of America and Freedom!
Pass the pig and some lipstick? /s =.=
To everyone in Louisiana:
Landry's Congressional district is dissolved in 2012, and he is up against the insider scumbag Boustany to see who represents the new 3rd district.
Make sure this guy wins the primary!
Well spoken. He has the good sense and taste to call a spade a spade.
My goodness gracious, this is a thing of utter beauty!
It's like Benjamin Netanyahu holding Ozero down while Cong Landry smacks him around and then a certain tour bus rolls over him just to make sure he doesn't get back up. All metaphorically speaking, of course. If this keeps up, more of our GOP politicians are going to find their balls.

Hi Ron, still testing out this plugin group and so far, loving it - thanks!
We run multisite and have a client moving in with a Thesis theme. We've not used Thesis before so I'm not familiar with it. We enabled the Theme only for this client rather than network-enabled.
On the Manage Menus page for the client's subsite, we clearly have all the expected Thesis menu/sub-menu options shown as expected. None are checked, so my understanding is that should enable the entire Thesis theme menu to Site Admins.
For both client (as Site Admin) and a test user I tested (as Site Admin), the Thesis menu is not displaying. When accessing the URL for the Thesis menu, I see the message that I don't have proper privileges.
I also tried checking/unchecking the Thesis menu to hide/unhide it.
Any thoughts to cure this would be greatly appreciated.

Saving the kitchen from David Fine's sledgehammer, one dirty dish at a time.
The goal of the Kitchen Working Group is to protect and improve the resource that is Noisebridge's Kitchen, so that it can be safely used to enable food hacking, community eating, and other nice stuff. See also kitchen
The Kitchen Working Group should develop some positive goals and write them here.
- collaborate on one group meal per month, consisting of super awesome food hacking results.
- give classes in cooking, brewing, fermenting, economizing, etc
- ...?
- profit
The Kitchen Working Group should:
- develop a set of safety guidelines to prevent disease, mold, vermin, and other pests.
- ensure that people who use the kitchen follow the safety guidelines
- establish a regular cleanup routine
- make sure food is all labeled, and that old food is thrown away /before/ it goes bad.
- recruit more members as needed (keep people from getting burned out on cleaning!)
- coordinate regular DEEP CLEANINGS (e.g. that Really Gross Stuff that builds up under the stove)

Philosophy of Operation
Everyone using the kitchen should consciously participate in preventing entropy.
The KWG is a type of FractalWorkingGroup (read that page for meta-information on how groups can/should be run)
Safety Standards
- food poisoning (e.g. it is not a good idea to leave butter out, no matter what you do at home)
- cross-contamination (e.g. use of knives and cutting boards)
- pile-up of dishes (some people tend to make huge piles intending to clean up in a batch job; maybe people should always clean a thing directly after they've finished using it.)
- fair and effective clean-up strategies (not letting anyone get burned out)
- upkeep of appliances, deciding when to end-of-life (things do wear out)
Working Group Meetings
...schedule goes here, also links to meeting notes

Candy Corn or Tootsie Rolls?
The better choice: It's a tie between the two.
There's actually a trick answer for these treats: At 20 million pounds consumed annually, candy corn wins the popularity contest, but in the nutrition competition, this one's a draw. Though you would need to eat 26 pieces of candy corn to rack up the same number of calories—140—as in 6 Tootsie Rolls, both candies contain artificial color and flavor. Vegetarians should go for Tootsie Rolls, however, since candy corn contains gelatin (an animal by-product).

Leigh Paatsch's blockbuster movie guide (May)
- From: News Corp Australia newspapers
- May 03, 2012
LEIGH Paatsch previews the big movies being released for the US summer blockbuster season and hitting Australian cinemas this month.
Men in Black 3
May 24
Stars: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson
They say: Agent J travels back in time to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.
We say: It's been 10 years since the last one. Public demand hasn't exactly been through the roof in that time. Better bring its A-game.
Close Up: The whole shebang has been rather rushed for a $200 million movie, to say the least. To score a tax break, filming commenced before a script was anywhere near finished. Extensive re-writes and unplanned re-shoots were the order of the day throughout production.
Wide Shot: Smith came up with the original storyline, which consigns Jones to the subs' bench for much of the play while Brolin plays his younger self in the swingin' 1960s.
The Dictator
May 16
Stars: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, Jason Manzoukas, Ben Kingsley
They say: The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.
We say: Baron Cohen is already the market leader in being foreign, funny, inappropriate and insane. Clearly playing to his strengths here.
Close Up: SBC fans will notice one big change: the guerilla, mock-doco shooting style has been dumped. It's time for a script and proper actors. The lead character is a African-Arab amalgam of dead despots like Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.
Wide Shot: While SBC has made more bad movies (Bruno, Ali G Indahouse) than good (Borat), he does have a knack for getting the world's attention when needs be. Here's hoping the jokes will live up to the hype.
Dark Shadows (May 10): Johnny Depp is a vampire transitioning from the 1700s to the 1970s. Based on an old cult TV show director Tim Burton loved as a kid.
What to Expect When You're Expecting (May 31): The self-help best-seller for first-time pregnant types becomes a "mom-com" starring Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Elizabeth Banks.
Get the Gringo (May 31): Mel Gibson is thrown in jail in Mexico. Only a little kid can bust him out.

As a kid, anyone who shared the same forename as myself was up for a touch of hero-worship. Have no idea why, but that led me to Mike Hawthorn and Mike Hailwood.
I remember best though, Hailwood's return to the Manx TT in '78. I was riding a bike myself by then, though this would become increasingly difficult as my family grew in size. I also recall quite vividly the sense of shock/numbness that I felt when news of his death filtered through.
Bikers a just plain mad, I think, though there's a few F1 drivers down the years that could have made a go of the bike circuits. Damon Hill has said that he really wanted to race bikes ratehr than cars, but his dad's legacy made that difficult - and I think his mother would have had something to say on the matter. And Schummi seems to enjoy falling off his bike...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
In my fantasy I could imagine myself driving an F1 car. Remember this is fantasy!
I could imagine myself possibly riding in moto gp.
I could never ever in my wildest imagination driving a rally car i a race.
I mean sitting there responding to the navigator's instructions and driving flat out.
No never never never. As far as I am concerned those guys have don't have plums they have avocados.

Skip to comments.HURT: Obamas flexibility to lie after election
Posted on 03/28/2012 10:19:31 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike
Turns out hes not Kenyan after all. Hes KGB. All this time, people were worried that President Obama was born in Africa and that his radical agenda had been crafted by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Saul Alinsky on the streets of Chicagos South Side.
Now we know his real radical hidden agenda is in service of the Kremlin.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Dah Komrade.
Putin probably has a copy of the real BC.
Sounds like we have a new Obama Drinking Game!
First, mix up some Black Russians...
"Now we know his real radical hidden agenda is in service of the Kremlin."
President "Obamarade".
There's some interesting history on this subject. Fred?
Anyone who watches this video and refuses to vote for WHOMEVER the GOP nominee is out of "spite", well, I ....I'm gonna keep quiet.....
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008
Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the Diva leak was Nicolle Wallaces husband."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
"Ah ha ha ha..."
0bama's mother and "father" MET IN 'RUSSIAN LANGUAGE CLASS' in Hawaii. I guess she dropped out, but interesting though. She may have been 'encouraged' to take the class by her would-be handlers.
His writings, his speech, his actions, all prove he hates America.
His affiliations, origin, and sympathies are unimportant.
He will only be dethroned when enough people who love America defeat him.
Criticize his actions the results and you won't have to debate his motivations.
And here some people were worried about the "Manchurian candidate", all the while we should have been concerned about the "Siberian Candidate".
Well, there's quite a lot of connections. Obama's childhood mentor, specially chosen by his grandfather, was an important Stalinist KGB agent, as well as a pervert and a child molester. And Stanley Ann appears to have had KGB connections, although the evidence is tricky.
Railla Odinga, Obama's Muslim terrorist cousin whom he forced on the Kenyan government after he lost the election, was also a Communist, who was educated in East Germany.
And the Russians seem to have known who Obama was long before we did.
Many more connections, too many to go into here. But there's no doubt that Obama is a real Communist as well as a real Muslim.

During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.
V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause - a cause she obviously was not abandoning.
One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.'s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions.
As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge - one her husband tried to quietly rein in.
The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:
"You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven't you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn't do it."
The general response went something along the lines that you don't vote for someone just because of their sex. Besides, you don't vote for vice-president, but the president and vice-president as a ticket.
"Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon."
The consensus we expressed was that we didn't think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.
"What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?"
The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, "Well, you will; and he will be a Communist."
It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, "It sounds like you know something we don't know."
"Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call "Ivy League". You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your President."
She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly - as though all were foregone conclusions. "It's all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won't have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He's gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America."
We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: they would give us a black president and he'd be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.
She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.
She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. "Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet."
At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn't understand what the point was and don't recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.
Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: "If I remember correctly, 'Barack' comes from the Arabic word for 'Blessing.' That seems to be an odd name for an American." She replied quickly, "Yes. It is 'African'", she insisted, "and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world."
She continued with something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for Communism. America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.
So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?
Well, it's definitely anecdotal. It doesn't prove that Obama has had Soviet Communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it does show one thing that I think is very important. It shows that Soviet Russian Communists knew of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed Communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came personally to me from one of them long before America knew he existed.
Although I had never before heard of him, at the time of this conversation Obama was 30+ years old and was obviously tested enough that he was their anticipated rising star.

Is there anybody in a position of power who isn't too corrupt or spineless to stand up to this traitor? Where are the patriotic Americans in our government who care about this country? This is disgusting.
In other countries, journalists have died rather than do the bidding of tyrants. In our country, they do it with fervor and joy.
Its next to impossible to prove the following - as nearly everything else about Obama's life before October 1992 - but it is believed by some researchers that there MAY be some correlation with this Tom Fife story and the nationally-published story BELOW from Feb 13, 1992, which was a plea for cash from the Left elite to get communist and socialist students out of Moscow.
One of those students, curiously, was a law student, born in 1961, with the last name "Obama" - what are the odds of that? It is believed that "Roman Obama" is NOT from Equatorial Guinea, rather he was going THROUGH then-Communist E.G. to his final destination ... elsewhere.
And Obama's connection to the NEW PARTY and their ties to CPUSA...it appears that we may have a communist infiltrator in the White House.
I'm certain Putin has Obama's whole bio - the real one, not Ayers' fantasy concoction.
What a great photshot....good job...I looked at every face!
My question is this. Why did Obama present such an obviously forged long form BC?
Was it incompetence or was it on purpose? Understanding the motivation would be helpful.
I have always believed Tom Fife. Now what happens if the "people" responsible for his presidency see that slipping away. All that time spent to get him into power. All that money. Do "they" watch him lose the election? Do "they" get this close to destroying America to watch that plan fall apart?
And I don't see Putin giving Obama space. He will push back hard.
I think it's likely Putin has the upper hand, knows who zero is, and zero hasn't been able to deliver on a 'promise' yet.
Russian media expose Obama birth 'forgery'
World Net Daily ^ | Mar.28, 2012 | Chelsea Schilling
The Russians have probably known who he is since that three hour passport delay fiasco with Lugar. Remember this:
Both from EG.
Dear Mr. President,
I request your urgent explanation of your comments to President Medvedev in Seoul this morning.
During the New START treaty ratification process, you made specific promises that Russian concerns about missile defense will not be allowed to affect U.S. missile defense deployment plans. You further committed that the United States will make both qualitative and quantitative improvements in its missile defenses. You have already walked away from detailed promises to modernize the U.S. nuclear deterrent; are you now planning to walk away from your promises regarding U.S. missile defense as well?
As you know, in the FY12 National Defense Authorization Act, Congress enacted, and you signed into law, a provision constraining your ability to share classified U.S. missile defense information with the Russian Federation. Congress took this step because it was clear based on official testimony and Administration comments in the press that classified information about U.S. missile defenses, including hit-to-kill technology and velocity at burnout information, may be on the table as negotiating leverage for your reset with Russia. Despite signing the FY12 defense authorization legislation into law, you then issued a signing statement signaling that you may treat that provision protecting U.S. missile defense information as non-binding. This mornings comments, on top of that action, suggests that you and your administration have plans for U.S. missile defenses that you believe will not stand up to electoral scrutiny.
Congress has made exquisitely clear to your Administration and to other nations that it will block all attempts to weaken U.S. missile defenses. As the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, which authorizes U.S. missile defense and nuclear weapons policy, I want to make perfectly clear that my colleagues and I will not allow any attempts to trade missile defense of the United States to Russia or any other country.
Michael R. Turner
Chairman, Subcommittee on Strategic Forces
House Armed Services Committee
Well first of all he doesn't have a real BC to present so he has had to fabricate them. I don't think he or his handlers realized that the file wasn't flattened. The "forger" is believed to be the HDOH and he/she purposely left clues. Like the smiley face and TXE in the Alvin stamp to possibly indicate thet Alvin was the who ordered the forgery.
"Exactly at a time when Russia and the USA are finding that they have far more in common than differences, exactly when they see that they are much more friends than foes, when they see that there is so much to be gained through collaboration, a foul-mouthed, big-headed oaf like Romney with more money than sense makes a comment that reveals who he really is to the world: a pea-brained, pith-headed simpleton with too much testosterone and too little common sense, with zero tact, no diplomacy and a paramount grasp on the intricacies of world politics. A prize, good-for-nothing ignoramus," writes Pravda.
Russia will always act in its own interests, which is more than you can say for zero.
This is not a surprise evaluation to me. I have the report of a business man in Moscow in the 1990s telling about a communist hostess at a party in Moscow who was describing Obama as the future POTUSA. Obama's Kenya ties are known as are Kenya's ties to communism. I believe Patton had a much more appropriate opinion of communism and Russia than Ike. Patton knew history.
Pravda has a point. Obama doesn't make a good POTUS, sure. So doesn't Romney. The problem Obama is a democrat and it is not surprising if he is after classic liberal doctrines. At the same time Romney pretending to be a conservative.
If you 'have the report' then why don't you post the link?

Crytek Details Cancelled Game, Redemption
Written Friday, July 12, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Crytek' has detailed its cancelled project, Redemption, describing it as a cross between The Last of Us and Crysis 2.
First revealed in 2011, and signed to EA, the game is a third-person shooter that sees players attempting to protect a ten year old girl called Jelena. It was inspired by an incident where Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli was unable to find his young niece.
Further gameplay details include, rather oddly, the ability to zoom into Jelena's face to check if she is okay, calling out her name to find her and ordering her to hide. Ultimately, however, the game was canned partly because Jelena was so annoying that testers just wanted to shoot her.
"At that point we knew – or I knew – this [was a] project we could not pull off yet," said Yerli. "We don't have the technology and the capabilities here. Not just the company, but the industry as a whole."
Of course, since the release of both The Last of Us and BioShock Infinite, Yerli can perhaps have a little more faith in the ability to deliver believable, don't-want-to-shoot-them-in-the-face AI companions. We're just going to gloss over the existence of Half Life 2, by the way, which did it years ago.
Indeed, Yerli is confident that the project will be returned to at some point in the future.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The president of the university system
that oversees both North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central
wants the schools to be responsible for disciplining those involved
in a postgame brawl.
Erskine Bowles, who leads the University of North Carolina
system, spoke with the colleges' chancellors about Saturday's
"We are all in complete agreement that this sort of
unsportsmanlike behavior was just plain wrong, and that it will not
be condoned or tolerated within our university," Bowles said in a
statement released by his office.
"I am confident that both chancellors are going to handle this
matter appropriately on their own campuses and will take steps to
ensure that this sort of thing doesn't happen again."
The fight broke out shortly after N.C. Central intercepted a
pass to seal the 27-22 victory and the Eagles stormed the field and
jumped on the A&T logo, prompting the Aggies to confront them.
Coaches were unable to stop the melee, and after several minutes
at least one police officer from Central used pepper spray to break
it up. The schools said nobody was hurt, but N.C. Central suspended
an unidentified player for this week's game against Presbyterian.
It is unclear whether North Carolina Central and North Carolina
A&T will meet as scheduled next Aug. 30 in Durham.
"We owe them a game, and at some point, we will honor our
agreement that we will return the game," A&T athletic director
DeLores "Dee" Todd said. "When that's going to be, I can't
Neither Todd nor Central athletic director Bill Hayes returned
phone messages left Tuesday by The Associated Press.
"We've moved on, and we're looking forward to playing
Presbyterian this weekend," first-year coach Mose Rison said at
his weekly news conference.
The chancellors of the schools, Charlie Nelms of N.C. Central
and Stanley F. Battle of A&T, issued a statement Monday night
saying no decision has been reached about the series, but "we are
jointly collaborating as sister institutions to decide the best
The game was billed as the return of a rivalry between two
historically black schools that dates back to 1924. It was the
teams' first meeting since N.C. Central beat A&T 23-22 in 2005.
N.C. Central is playing its first season in Division I as an
independent after moving up from Division II. A&T is a member of
the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference of Division I's Championship
The Eagles have expressed interest in joining the MEAC, the
league they helped found in the 1970s. They left the conference
when it was reclassified into Division I.

The NIH has awarded Seattle Biomedical Research Institute (Seattle BioMed) a $16.6 million grant over a five-year period from NIAID to take a comprehensive systems approach to the problem of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The research will be focused on predicting which carriers will become actively ill with TB.
Seattle BioMed says that the grant, titled "Omics of TB Disease Progression," will for the first time allow researchers to study many sides of TB infection simultaneously with the goal of finding out how and in whom TB causes illness. The grant will involve a team of several scientists at Seattle BioMed, in collaboration with the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) and ETH Zurich, that reportedly comprises experts from both the host side of the disease and the pathogen side, along with authorities in the field of systems biology and biotechnology.
"Research in TB has never been more critical, and this collaboration represents an important change in how disease research is done, making a move from a 'trial and error' approach to predictive modeling," said Alan Aderem, Ph.D., president of Seattle BioMed, in a statement. "By drawing on our collective expertise, and by taking advantage of the predictive power of systems biology, we can tackle the problem of TB in an entirely new way, potentially elucidating new drug targets or informing vaccine development."

This stone sculpture, also in front of the fire station, at least has the honesty of being heavy.
And non-combustible!
Whimsical art is the opiate of the middle class
Can you write 500 words giving a Marxist interpretation of Anne Geddes' photography by Friday? That would be awesome!
This is just filler between the usual tit posts.
Giant butt-plugs! I hope public arts funds paid for them...
That's a lot of filler, Chuck, just to describe a place for dogs to pee.
chaz suffers from tardism.
Most public art is lighthearted. Most of it is politically motivated. Depends on who is running city hall and views of the age group and their views that decides upon these things. Most fall into the clasifaction of "Baby boomers". Comfortable powerful individuals that want things to be "nice" whimsical and inoffensive. There is Graffiti and there is public art. One is produced by Anonymous artists trying to make a statement the other is produced by artists that are known and have to jump through hoops set up by bureaucracy. We end up with tons of public art reflecting those in power at the time and never end up with something that is powerful and loved by many. Something people would stand up for if it was to be torn down. Banksy is an artist that has crossed over into that realm in which the people love his work but it was never chosen by panels of people in power. It goes against that decision making by powers that want safe whimsical art.
Public art today is for tourists. Public art in the past was above the thinking of the average person heading to work in an office high above the street only to come out for lunch and sit next to a Henry Moore unaware that its' power was playing on their minds while they sat and had coffee and lunch outside next to the art. This whimsical art is plain and safe. "Vertebrae" or "Knife Edge" wasn't.
"Whimsy has no power because it has no enemy"No enemy? You are much too modest, or, well, maybe not, the "Dear Science Letter of the Day" got about 3 times as many comments, and it was just a copy and paste of an anonymous letter.
"Today, whimsy is far from revolutionary. It has been absorbed by the order it originally opposed"You mean like this?, not that the subject was whimsical, but the placement of it seems to be.
big square turd in front of firehouse
I don't like the way that grown up male "hydrant" is looking at the little boy "hydrant." How much more CHILD RAPE is Seattle going to tolerate in its public art?!
This perverted art ought to be burned! (Whoops, I said "ought", that's a capitalist word...)
Charles. You've heard of Bobby Knight? Bobby has a simple rule: no dunking till you can dribble.
You spelled Engels wrong.

DOHA: Qatar Airways Thursday announced it will begin daily flights to Tokyo's Haneda Airport (HND), the airline's third destination in Japan.
The non-stop flights on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from its hub in Doha will start from June 18 this summer, Qatar's national carrier said today.
Haneda will be Qatar Airways' third route to Japan after Osaka, launched March 2005 and Tokyo Narita in April 2010.
Osaka and Tokyo are currently non-stop daily operations.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said, "The airline has pursued aggressive growth in the Asian market to cater to the demand of our business and leisure passengers."
"Haneda is a key gateway into the city of Tokyo that will offer passengers a second option to arrive into making it more convenient."
"Last year we launched four new destinations in Asia; Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Clark International Airport in the Philippines, as well as Chengdu and Hangzhou in China."
Haneda International Airport is one of the two major airports that serve the Greater Tokyo area.
In 2012, Haneda was the second busiest airport in Asia with more than 66 million passengers.
Qatar Airways will operate a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Haneda Airport in a two-class configuration, with 22 Business Class and 232 Economy Class seats.
Qatar Airways currently operates to 24 destinations in Asia.
The addition of the third route to Japan further boosts its growth in the region with Asian destinations making up approximately 18 percent of the airline's overall route map.
The daily schedule to Haneda effective June 18, 2014 is:
Daily Schedule
QR810 Departs DOH 0735 hrs Arrives HND 2325 hrs Travel time: 9 hrs 50 min.
QR811 Departs HND 0100 hrs Arrives DOH 0600 hrs Travel time: 11 hrs. (QNA)

While I was growing up on our farm, we used to get shipments of about 30,000 chicks at a time. Apparently I dodged a machine-gun spray of salmonella bullets over the years, because I used to have to look after the little peepers, keep them from drowning in their drinking water. Huh. How much did my parents know and when did they know it?

1) To assist young people going on short term mission trips with Christian agencies, which are in agreement with the ethos of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
a) The maximum amount available to any individual is £500.
b) A young person may only receive one grant from the fund.
c) The young person must be a member of a Presbyterian congregation
d) The young person must be aged 18-25 years old.
e) Only one application will be considered per team or project and the application must be signed by the team leader.
f) In the case of a team application the maximum amount available will be £600 and must be distributed equally amongst all eligible team members.
g) The fund is not available to help towards university electives, work experience placements or Bible college training.
h) YAC Overseas teams will receive the maximum grant each year. The money will be transferred internally and used to reduce the cost of our teams to participants.
i) The young person must apply for their grant before 1 March if they are going that summer (June, July and August) and if outside that time then they must apply 3 months prior to going.
To sum up my experience on my short term mission team; it was incredible and I would recommend a short term mission trip to everyone as it is so rewarding and incredible in various ways. Going to Japan, my eyes were opened and humbled to Christians around the world. I was humbled in the sense that, compared to Christians in Japan for example, we have it comparatively easy. They are frowned upon widely across society and mistrusted, with tiny churches scattered in a country that so desperately needs the Love and Grace of God. This was definitely an eye opening experience for me, challenging but also wonderfully rewarding. There was something beautiful about worshipping God in two languages, singing together; "so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:6
So I am very thankful for the opportunity to go on this trip and for the many blessings it has been to me and to others, and I am thankful for the Concorde funding which helped.

Poor lad, he`s obviously finding it difficult to come to terms with arsenal`s poor second half performance against a 10 man liverpool. So much so that he`s taken to inventing things about other teams to cheer himself up. He`s also probably feeling very bad about posting that Chamakh is better than Henry, especially as until the last couple of minutes of yesterday`s game he was all but invisible. Indeed arsenal`s new striker seems to have attempted to divert attention from his poor performance by trying to claim a very obvious OG by the liverpool keeper.
talking of own goals devon, drogba,s 3rd goal, his, or an og, only i seem to remember carrick, i think, losing a goal that was not too dissimilar.
