Skip to comments.The Reagan Myth
Posted on 07/17/2006 4:21:23 AM PDT by The Raven
Liberals pretend the Reagan years--in contrast to the Bush years--were a golden idyll of collaboration between congressional Democrats and a not-so-conservative president. When Reagan died in 2004, John Kerry recalled having admired his political skills and liked him personally. "I had quite a few meetings with him," Mr. Kerry told reporters. "I met with Reagan a lot more than I've met with this president."
(Excerpt) Read more at opinionjournal.com ...
I admired Reagan a lot, but today we know he made a very big mistake in telling Israel to get out of Lebanon when they had conquered it. Let's face it: either Israel runs Lebanon or Syria does - one or the other.
And so, by being claimed by politicians of all stripes as one of their own, Reagan enters the pantheon of the great Presidents.
I'm sure there are a long list of small mistakes made by the Reagan administration that can now be found with the gift of 20/20 hindsight. But the thing I remember most about those years was the personal differences between Reagan and Carter.
On the whole, I say, it was Reagan who shot Liberty Valance, and that's good enough for me.
Claimed or just used? Either way I agree it is a sign of greatness. What politician does not try and use the words of the founding fathers? However, I'm glad someone took on the issue of St. Reagan being used as a way to Bush-bash.
Indeed yes. And should we not recall the contrast between Clinton and Bush as well?
Which makes what Bush had to do even harder.
>>Which makes what Bush had to do even harder.<<
Agreed. And whoever comes next is gonna have a hard time too - the country is really split.
I agree that there is a split in the country. However, I won't go so far as to say it is the worst it has ever been. Geez, we had a civil war. You can't get much more of a split than that. Also we've yet to see members of Congress physically attacking each other which we've also seen in the past. The appearance that we are split in terrible ways is promulgated by the old guard main stream media because they have lost their ability to define unity of thought. With the rise of alternative news sources we are finally free to enjoy that split rather than suffer from the pronouncements of Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather et al.
There isn't as much. I'm no fan of Clinton, but he wasn't a disaster on the scale of Carter. Once he abandoned the idea of universal health care, he basically let the economy trundle on on its own. While he let a lot of things slide foreign policy-wise, he didn't actively court disaster like Carter did.
I've a feeling Clinton will go down in history like Calvin Coolidge: Admired by the history-minded within his party, but otherwise dismissed, far from a national icon. Carter is going down like Harding: An embarrassment best forgotten.
The result is even if Bush were as great as Reagan -- which he's not -- the contrast between Bush and Clinton would be less than that between Reagan and Carter.
BTW, down here we refer to that conflict in the 1860's as the War of Northern Aggression or The War between the states when we are trying to be polite. :)
After the Nov 8, 2006 mass liberal hate-fest, this will be less of a problem, as the loudest-barking moonbats will finish off the remaining credibility of the left once and for all.
I fully agree. And he's just grown worse with age. Carter's ineptitude just made it easier for Regan once in office.
The result is even if Bush were as great as Reagan -- which he's not -- the contrast between Bush and Clinton would be less than that between Reagan and Carter.
I think you are making this judgement WAY TOO SOON and perhaps even and apples to oranges comparison since they both faced exremely different challenges. As you point out, Reagan had an easier row to hoe due to Carter being worse than Clinton. The advantage Bush had over Reagan is the rise of a more diversified media to help get the message out. Reagan's advantage as an actor served him well against the traditional media that was aligned against him. But a silver tongue alone does not greatness make. For now and the next 2 years Bush is our guy. Let our children's children worry about greatness provided they're not wearing Burkas.
A very good article. It's been only less than 2 decades since Reagan era, yet there are so many myths about Reagan. Both from left and right.
Hah! :-) Next time the South decides to make a stand for "states rights" pick a better issue. By standing up for cheap (free) labor the South did more to hurt States rights that ever before in the history of the Republic. Couldn't they have just hired illegal Mexicans to do the jobs Americans weren't willing to do? /sarc
Hey, I'm just kidding. Don't call out Nathan Bedford Forest's insurgents on me, OK? /more sarc
I remember being struck by how they increasingly marginalized Reagan beginning with the '86 elections. During the campaign for the '88 presidential election, it seemed like the president was an afterthought. The pols & the media treated him as if he were a ghost-- they no longer had a use for him.
Watch for the same process to begin after these coming elections. Being a lame duck is a terrible indignity.
Wrong about the spending part Fred. Had the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, no doubt Reagan would have at least had the power of impoundment restored. This would have allowed him to cease funding those true wastes of money, like the Legal Services Administration and greatly cutback on waste in all department. It would have been interesting to see how much of the NEA or CPB was left, if he had been able to impound funds. The fact that GWB hasn't asked for this authority speaks volumes.
"I've maintained for a long time that for the Democrats, Clinton was the exception. He was a man of such strong personal charm that he was able to sell the same old tired class warfare and socialism package of the left to the Democrats one last time."
Oh, right. Like that was a hard sell. /sarc The Rats love that old schtick. It's all they have to unite the various interest groups that otherwise wouldn't hang out in the same room together.
The hard sell was the American people, who wouldn't have been fooled were it not for Poppy's tax sellout, which gave them a choice between a covert leftist and an overt liar.
Liberals pretend to have liked Reagan so they can villify Bush. "Look, we LOVED Reagan, it's just Bush that's bad."
The truth of the matter is that they DISPISED Reagan & everything he stood for. They went against him at every turn.

Which principles exactly? I can't agree with you if I don't know what you are referring to.

>>Wrong about the spending part Fred
Yep. He had Dems in both houses. In addition, the defense budget was far higher in those days. Clinton used the fast declining defense spending (the "peace dividend") and higher taxes to claim a balanced budget, while increasing domestic spending.
Reagan didn't necessarily have a Lott, McCain, or Specter to muck things up for him. He didn't have anyone.
You're right that they should have, but all I remember was non-stop hatred and the persecution of his staff by way of the courts, and of course the Fifth Column . . . I mean the Fourth Estate.
"Reagan didn't necessarily have a Lott, McCain, or Specter to muck things up for him."
Actually, Specter DID muck some things up for Reagan. He helped engineer the defeat of Robert Bork.
You addressed the wrong person. I'm not "Fred". I didn't speak on the subject you're talking about, either.
No, I replied to Fred Barnes. Understand you didn't write the column...Fred is usually right 80% of the time. This article is about 60% correct. Then again, back in that time he was more liberal.
Definitely. But since we're contrasting the contrast between Bush and Clinton vs. the contrast between Reagan and Carter, we have to make some sort of prediction of what history will say.
History? Haven't met him yet. I sure hope it isn't written by the usual suspects. Of course times have changed which is probably yet another reason Reagan is being appreciated more. We don't have to trust the PhDs living off their Gov't subsidized jobs to tell us who is "great".
Top four. There have been four Presidents, IMO, who, as President, made or remade America, for better or worse: Washington, Lincoln, FDR, and Reagan. (Only Jefferson, among Presidents, measures up to them in importance and that, IMO, is more for his work before he was President than as President.)
>>>>"Kerry told reporters. "I met with Reagan a lot more than I've met with this president."<<<<<
Kerry gives all other parasites a bad reputation
Thanks for that post. We don't need to pretend President was perfect to recognize that not only was he a great man but that providence gave him to us at just the right moment.
Lincoln did win the election. Let's fast-forward to the year 2000. What if those in California and a handful of other states decided to secede because they didn't like the results of the hanging chad election. Then those states demanded the return of all military bases and federal parks located there. Would that be consistent with the principles of the Declaration of "self-determination"? If not, why? If so, where does it end?
To answer the question, if California really was determined to secede, I think in the end we would let them go. But there would be a thousand details to be worked out.
OK, in your world, when the going gets tough anyone who wants to leave can. However, I would think the same rules for admitting a state to the union should apply to rejecting a state from the union. In otherwords it's not just up to the legislators in that particular state particularly with respect to federal property which is owned by all of us (military bases, state parks, etc). Further when speaking of the Civil War you stated the North had not lived up to the principles of the Declaration. One of the first principles discussed is the follow: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I'd say the North did a better job holding to that principle than the South did...unless of course one disputes the definition of the word, "men" which I guess is what the anger was all about.
Ho hum. Yet another of Barnes' tiresome revisionism attempts aimed at morphing the socialist Bush into the libertarian Republican Reagan. In an ironic twist, Barnes seems to be attacking historical revisionism in order to engage in his own.
Sorry, Freddie-boy, the argument doesn't get any better through repetition.

Kachchh possesses a fault-controlled first-order topography and several geomorphic features indicative of active tectonics. Though coseismic neotectonic activity is believed to be the major factor in the evolution of the landscape, detailed documentation and analysis of vital landscape features like drainage characteristics, bedrock gorges and terraces are lacking. The present study is a site-specific documentation of gorges developed in the central part of the mainland Kachchh. We analyzed and interpreted four gorges occurring on either side of Katrol Hill Fault (KHF). The Khari river gorge is endowed with six levels of bedrock terraces, some of which are studded with large potholes and flutings. Since no active development of potholes is observed along the rivers in the present day hyper-arid conditions, we infer an obvious linkage of gorges to the humid phases, which provided high energy runoff for the formation of gorges and distinct bedrock terraces and associated erosional features. Development of gorges within the miliolites and incision in the fluvial deposits to the south of the KHF indicates that the gorges were formed during Early Holocene. However, ubiquitous occurrence of gorges along the streams to the south of KHF, the uniformly N40‡ E trend of the gorges, their close association with transverse faults and the short length of the exceptionally well developed Khari river gorge in the low-relief rocky plain to the north of KHF suggests an important role of neotectonic movements

No doubt he has some serious business acumen after a 30-year
stint in the advertising world in Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and America since he transferred his Australian-born
talents north of the equator.
But his decision to embroil himself in a review of Adam
Thomson's week ban for trampling, through social networking
site Twitter, is not promising.
It may be a sign about his lack of administrative rugby savvy
but this utterance in the public arena, via Twitter, was not
Gosper succeeded Mike Miller and began work in August charged
with moving the game towards the 2015 World Cup and driving
its commercial business. He may have spoken to the media at
times up north but his seemingly sudden outburst about
Thomson's sentence, as revealed by Twitter devotees, was
Gosper was not as vociferous to my knowledge when Springbok
prop Dean Greyling was banned for just a match when he hit
Richie McCaw with a flying elbow-jolt.
To equate that with Thomson's offence is bizarre.
For the IRB boss to tweet about a review into Thomson's ban
was rash.
Rugby authorities and lawyers love process and Gosper, no
matter his opinion, should have stayed quiet while he and his
review officers pondered the case.
Once they had assessed their next move, a statement could
have been issued.
Thomson was fortunate.
His action could be dismissed as careless but he looked at
his target, a red and black scrumcap which could not be
confused with the white and blue ball, and then scratched a
lame boot on it.
Dumb, daft, brain explosion, go sit on the naughty chair for
a few weeks. An original two weeks' ban was about right and a
reminder of his obligations.
Changing that penalty to a week because of Thomson's clean
record was as sensible as skateboarding in Harrods.
Global judicial consistency needs to be near the top of the
IRB's must-do list.
Until that uniformity is delivered there will always be these
Sanzar and the IRB need to dovetail their processes and
penalties, it is lame that the IRB, who allegedly run the
world game, does not have any sanction about Sanzar matches.
They have tried to merge the global itineraries, now they
need to do the same with their judicial system.

Researchers have developed a checklist to help spot those at potential risk
When you're studying food labels at the grocery store, keep in mind what "free" means. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, "free" means that the food contains none of or only a very small amount of the nutrient in question: fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugar or calories. "Calorie-free" means fewer than 5 calories per serving. "Fat-free" means less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.

The signboards put up in the hope of helping hundreds of tourists visiting the temple city were being removed in deference to the wishes of the people, Collector Anshul Mishra said after the move drew the ire of several local outfits.
"Respecting sentiments of our Tamil brothers and sisters, I am ready to take back my words regarding issue of trilingual boards and use of Hindi in these boards....I am here to serve people of Tamil Nadu and not to promote my mother tongue," Mishra, who is from the North, said on social networking site Facebook.
Officials said the installation of such signboards has been interpreted by some groups like Tamil Desa Pothu Udamai Katchi, which had demonstrated over the issue this month, as promoting Hindi by Mishra.

Infinite Dimensional Analysis: A Hitchhiker's Guide
Springer, 1999 - Business & Economics - 672 pages
This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but who does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as a functional analyst. It develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences (multifunctions), and the analytic approach to Markov processes. Many of the results were previously available only in esoteric monographs. The choice of material was motivated from problems in control theory and economics, although the material is more applicable than applied.

Starting with two 8-foot-long 1×8 cedar boards, use a circular saw to cut two 30-inch lengths for the side panels and three 15-inch lengths for the ends and divider.
Then cut a 15×281/4-inch panel for the floorboard from 3/4-inch-thick pressure-treated plywood.
Apply waterproof polyurethane glue to a long edge of the floorboard; use deck screws to fasten a side panel to the edge, leaving a 7/8-inch overhang for each end panel. Glue and fasten the two ends and other side panel the same way.
To create a quarter section for a planting bed, glue the remaining 15-inch length in place as a divider. Secure with nails driven through the sides and floorboard. Cut four corner cleats from an 8-foot length of 1×2 cedar and coat the inside faces with wood glue. Position and nail the cleats onto box corners. Use bar clamps where needed to apply pressure to the joints while the glue dries.
Paint the inside of the box with rubberized sealant, or install a pond liner (a liner is preferred if you're planning to add fish).
On the garden side, drill two or three holes in the base to provide drainage for plants. Set the 30×15-inch box on bricks to elevate it.
Fill the garden compartment with potting mix and your choice of plants. Top with an ornamental rock, if desired.
Add water and pond plants to the other compartment, as well as a fountain pump.

Mandatory Arabic study for 5th and 6th grades in Jewish schools
The Ministry of Education just announced that spoken Arabic will become a mandatory subject for Grades 5 and 6 throughout Israel, starting next year. This follows 12 years of The Abraham Fund's work in the field, bringing spoken Arabic classes to 24,000 students a year. We applaud the Ministry's decision and believe that it has the potential to be the beginning of a revolution in Arabic education for Jewish students. Read our
press release here.
Fostering Jewish-Arab Multiculturalism through Staff Trainings at Hebrew University
The Abraham Fund, in partnership with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and supported by the Hanns Seidel Foundation, today began operating a pilot program which, for the first time, trains University staff to provide culturally attuned services, fostering a multicultural Jewish-Arab campus.
The pilot program will bring the course to 20 members of administrative staff and a summer course for 20 members of the University's security staff.
The Segregation of Jewish and Arab Women in Maternity Wards
After the unofficial segregation policy between Arab and Jewish women in maternity wards in Israel was exposed on the Israeli radio station "Reshet Bet", we Issued a letter to Minister of Health, Yaakov Litzman, in collaboration with The Coalition Against Racism In Israel and The Reform Center for Religion and State, requesting that he issue clear guidelines and clarifying that distinction between new mothers is prohibited. Additionally, we requested that the ministry develop a system for both following up and enforcing these guidelines and regulations.
We invite you to read the attached full letter
Public Education, Advocacy and Government Relations
The Abraham Fund's reputation – within government, civil society and the media – as a valued partner and resource in the field of Jewish-Arab relations positions us as one of a handful of shared Jewish-Arab NGOs with trusted access to both Israel's Arab leadership and government officials.
Economic Development and Employment
The Abraham Fund's Sharikat Haya jobs program was created to address the massive unemployment of Israeli Arab women. Five successful years later, our model is going national through a new government-funded effort to train and place Arab women in their first-ever jobs – good for Arab women and good for the Israeli economy.
Equal and Accessible Services
This new Abraham Fund initiative works with government agencies, businesses and civil society organizations to advance the provision of equal and accessible services as we aim to narrow the gaps that divide Israel's Arab and Jewish communities, while strengthening the foundation for a just and inclusive society.
Policing in a Divided Society
The Abraham Fund's work with the Israel Police has resulted in significant changes in policing policies and practices informed by international learning. Government's recognition of its failure to provide appropriate police services to the Arab community underscores the need for our continuing efforts to improve relations between the police and Arab society.
Emerging Leaders
Wanting to see more women and young adults in leadership roles within their communities and Israeli society at large were among the encouraging findings of a recent Abraham Fund study of Arab voter attitudes. Pilot programs now underway will chart the course for a multi-year investment in training next-gen Israeli Arab leaders.
Education for a Shared Society
The Abraham Fund's groundbreaking coexistence education programs already reach 25,000 Jewish and Arab elementary school children throughout Israel – a stepping stone toward our goal of requiring that every Israeli youngster learn the language and culture of their neighbor as we build a foundation for peace.

The Aristocrat Group Corp. (ASCC) Pursues Opportunities To Maximize Impact Of New Vodka's Launch 0 commentsApr 22, 2013 9:55 AM | about stocks: ASCC
Today before the opening bell, The Aristocrat Group announced its executive leadership will be in Sin City this week to scout unique launch opportunities for vodka line set to be released by its brand management division, Luxuria Brands. Known for its attachment to fine spirits, Las Vegas is the perfect city for the ultra-premium spirit's debut.
"We'll be speaking to club owners, beverage directors and other influential people in the Las Vegas restaurant and bar scene," stated ASCC CEO Robert Federowicz. "We're aiming to make as big a splash as possible with the release of our first distilled spirit, and nobody throws a party like Vegas."
ASCC believes the successful debut of its American-made vodka will serve an important role in its growing brand management business. Vodka is America's most popular spirit, accounting for nearly a third of the market by volume and half of its growth. U.S. sales of super-premium vodkas, which typically retail around $30 a bottle, have risen 32 percent in the last two years to $1.2 billion, according to industry trade group the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS).
"We're very proud of the vodka we've created, and we can't wait to give beverage industry professionals a sneak peek in Las Vegas," Federowicz said.

This question already has an answer here:
I have a new 2TB external drive formatted as exFAT.. when I started copying data to it, I heard very mild clicks (I know more or less how a failing drive sounds and this was a lot more quiet) and then it stopped... It still happens occasionaly for a few seconds (every few hours or so), but I don't know if that's something newer WD drives just do or I should be worried.
So please tell me if any sound like this is a reason to return the drive? Should it not make any quiet clicks at all? I have a similar 1TB WD hdd and I haven't heard such sounds from it...
thank you! david

TRENTON, N.J. -- Elegant in both appearance and purpose, the arch has allowed people to build bigger and better for more than two millennia. It opened up spaces otherwise beyond our reach, just as the Gateway Arch that stands sentry on the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Louis symbolizes the start from which earlier generations set out toward an unfamiliar horizon.
It's in the shadow of that 630-foot arch that Connecticut, Louisville, Oklahoma and Stanford gather for the Final Four, each a marvel of construction in its own right and each eager to use St. Louis less as a destination than a layover on the route to greater things.
This might be portrayed as the Final Four of foregone conclusions, but it's more than a coronation. The three games between now and Tuesday night are not just ceremonial.
It doesn't hurt that more than half of the AP first- and second-team All-America teams will be on the court in St. Louis, with at least one representative playing for each of the four contenders. Granted, three of them -- first-teamers Renee Montgomery and Maya Moore and second-teamer Tina Charles -- play for Connecticut, but Louisville's Angel McCoughtry, Oklahoma's Courtney Paris and Stanford's Jayne Appel can each be the best player on the floor on any given night, even when the team from Storrs is on hand.
It's going to take a team playing its absolute best to beat Connecticut, but grit and luck aren't enough. It's also going to take talent. Put another way, Hickory High doesn't win without Jimmy Chitwood hitting shots, but it also doesn't win without Merle getting rebounds and Buddy feeding Chitwood the ball. And in addition to three of the biggest stars in the game, the teams seeking to deny the Huskies in St. Louis arrive as the three most complete challengers in the field.
Oklahoma's Paris rivals Moore as the college game's most recognizable name, in part because of the lineage she shares with twin sister Ashley and NFL father Bubba, but mostly because of the scoring and rebounding records she has all to herself. And after three years of trying, Sooners coach Sherri Coale came up with a mix of players who could avoid simultaneously weighing down Paris' back and withering in her shadow.
That started with Ashley, who after last season's disappointing second-round exit remade herself into the kind of inside-outside, offense-defense jack of all trades largely missing when the team took on quicker, more athletic teams from the Big East, ACC or SEC (the Sooners were 0-3 in marquee games against Maryland, Tennessee and Connecticut the last three seasons). But the process included the arrival and maturation of ridiculously quick point guard Danielle Robinson and freshman Whitney Hand, a shooter with the size and handle to compete at both ends in the increasingly athletic upper levels of the game.
While the Sooners built a fitting team around their high-profile star -- complete with everything from Robinson's flash to a Super Bowl quarterback's sister in Carlee Roethlisberger -- Louisville coach Jeff Walz constructed a team content to let its actions speak louder than its words. Such was the necessity with a star whose energy and emotion can fill an arena the same way she fills a stat sheet.
Lovingly dubbed the team's "crazy aunt," McCoughtry sometimes looks like a one-woman wrecking crew, twisting and turning her body to knock down shots from impossible angles or jumping passing lanes to swipe passes and propel herself into the open court. But from a coach who devises meticulous game plans to the cast of characters who know when to let McCoughtry do her thing -- waiting in the wings for 3-pointers, following up for offensive rebounds and ensuring her defensive gambles are supported -- there is pinpoint precision and quiet resolve behind the star's soliloquies.
Stanford was supposed to be the team that didn't have the right fit to reach the Final Four this season. Not after Candice Wiggins, the Pac-10's all-time leading scorer, took her game to the WNBA and starting point guard JJ Hones went down with a season-ending knee injury in her second game of the regular season. But just as nothing seems to get to Appel, as unflappably intense on the block as she is unfailingly mellow off the court, obstacle after obstacle fell by the wayside for an improving team.
The Cardinal didn't have a point guard after they lost Hones, so sophomore Jeanette Pohlen stepped in and led the team in assists, nearly doubling her freshman total without a corresponding bump in turnovers. There wasn't enough diversity from behind the arc without Wiggins and Hones, so forwards Kayla Pedersen and Jillian Harmon knocked down 44 3-pointers -- exactly four times as many as their combined total last season.
And for an event held with the sole purpose of determining the sport's biggest winner, there's going to be a lot of talk about losing leading up to Sunday's semifinals.
Louisville and Oklahoma will square off in the first semifinal Sunday (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET), leaving the winner just 40 minutes from what would be the first national championship in either program's history. And yet as they prepare for each other, both will face questions about losing to Connecticut by 28 points earlier in the season (in Louisville's case, a result that was actually the least painful of two losses against the tournament's top seed).
Then, chasing perfection in the present and basketball immortality for the future in the nightcap, Connecticut must first confront proof of its own flaws. It was just a year ago that Stanford interceded to prevent an anticipated championship game between old rivals Connecticut and Tennessee, beating the Huskies 82-73 in a semifinal, only to watch its own season end one win short of ideal with a loss to the Lady Vols in the title game.
"It's poetic," Connecticut's Kalana Greene said of the rematch. "It's like a movie or something. It never happens like that, and I'm happy it's happened. You know, last year we thought it was our dream season, and it got cut short. And I think we're going back for revenge. They exposed us last year. And hopefully we can do what we've been doing all this year; we're a different team, different mindset. And hopefully we can go out there and win the game."
The Huskies certainly arrive in St. Louis as the heavy favorite to win two games, but all four of these teams are constructed elegantly and efficiently enough to dream of doing that. And all four belong under the arch.

Cats are beautiful Lynn, thank you for all the photos.
Thanx Lynn and Danuta
You know your cats, Nyack! Micky is indeed a Maine Coon. My granddaughter has his uncle. They're both gorgeous! The small cat inside the cabin was a feral cat that my daughter was feeding in her office parking lot. There was another larger cat with her, but seemingly no relation. They were very skittish at first but after about a month, they knew her and allowed her to pet them. Eventually, she was able to take both cats home....her neighbor friend took the larger one and my Sue took "Little Bit". That kitty was so grateful that she shows her love any time Sue sits down by getting up into her neck, hugging her and purring so loud she sounds like a truck. Little Bit took to the other 3 cats, too. The first time I walked into the apt. after Little Bit got there, she jumped into my lap and started nuzzling my neck. That was it....I fell in love.
Here she is when she was still in the parking area at Sue's work.
Another "awww" picture.
Can you let me out, please? See, here's the lock....
beautifull pictures thanks Lynn for posting
They are beautiful pictures. Thanks Lynn.
As always some wonderful pictures Lynn! It brakes my heart to see the gorilla (?) locked up, but we need to see those kind of pictures also because it is reality! Thank you for posting!
Awwww....so sweet and Thanx Lynn
Adorable pictures. Thanks for sharing.

AMD Radeon R7 Series SSD Review
The AMD Radeon R7 Series a high-performance SSD designed for enthusiasts who want the most out of their computers. The drive isn't exactly a new offering from the ground up though, it's made and manufactured by OCZ, and leverages their Barefoot controller and parent Toshiba's MLC NAND. While AMD has a pretty complete PC portfolio including CPUs, GPUs and memory, they don't have a storage component. That said, this is an intriguing route to take by AMD, as entering the already saturated SSD market is a risky endeavor. Even with a pre-made drive from OCZ, it will be interesting to see how well the AMD brand travels to storage, with so many other options available. The Radeon R7 Series does hit all the key spec sheet buttons though, with excellent throughput endurance of 30GB per day and a warranty of 4 years. Of course gamers have also come to love AMD's Radeon line which should give the AMD SSD a better starting point than most other new entrants.Read more

Seagate NAS (2-bay) Review
The Seagate 2-bay NAS, along with the recently reviewed 4-bay configuration, is part of Seagate's latest NAS line release. The Seagate NAS line is aimed at small or home offices without dedicated IT resources. It includes a Marvell 1.2GHz processor, 512MB of DDR3 RAM, and ships with Seagate NAS HDDs for a maximum capacity of 10TB (users can choose to receive their NAS drive-less or equipped with two 2TB, 3TB, 4TB, or 5TB drives). All hardware, software, and drives are made by Seagate allowing all parts of the NAS to work together seamlessly. Unlike its larger sibling, the 2-bay NAS only has a few RAID options (RAID0 and RAID1, with a JBOD option) but comes preconfigured to save setup time but users can change the configuration through SimpleRAID technology built into the OS.Read more

WD Red Review (6TB, NASware 3.0)
WD was first to market with a duty-specific NAS drive when they launched the Red family over two years ago. They're now onto the third iteration of the 3.5" drive (we previously review the WD Red Pro), which includes an updated firmware, NASware 3.0, and new larger 5TB and 6TB capacities. The top end 6TB drive of course offers a 50% bump over the previous largest Red and is now the largest NAS HDD on the market as of this review. As part of this release, WD is also supporting 8-bay NAS units with the Reds, up from a recommended 5-bays in the prior generation, creating a grand total of up to 48TB raw within a single NAS unit. That's a massive amount of data and thus good news for small offices or those with ever-expanding media collections that need to be able to keep up with their data growth.Read more

OCZ ARC 100 SSD Review
OCZ ARC 100 Series SSDs are designed for mainstream consumers who want the benefits of flash storage without a big price tag; the ARC 100 gives consumers an aggressive suggested price point of .50/GB. Of course as the SSDs get into retail, pricing will fall even further. OCZ doesn't cut corners though with the ARC 100, part of the pricing power is due to the vertical integration with parent company Toshiba. Jointly they own all of the core components in the drive, including the controller and Toshiba MLC NAND. The ARC 100 offers a good endurance profile, supporting 20GB of writes per day (same as the Vertex 3) and the drives come with a three-year warranty.Read more

Seagate NAS (4-bay) Review
The Seagate NAS line is a 2 or 4-bay NAS designed for SOHO users and small businesses without dedicated IT resources. The Seagate NAS comes with a Marvell 1.2GHz processor, 512MB of DDR3 ram, and can run up to 20TB in capacity. The NAS also comes with Seagate's new operating system, NAS OS 4 and ships with Seagate 5TB NAS HDDs. Having all of the software, hardware, and drives made by Seagate enables the system to work together seamlessly. The NAS come preconfigured to save setup time but users can change the configuration through SimpleRAID technology built into the OS.Read more

Corsair Flash Voyager GTX USB Flash Drive Review
Corsair has recently released the Flash Voyager GTX flash drive, which is optimized for speed and hailed as their fastest USB drive yet (with reported transfer speeds approaching 450MB/s read and 350MB/s write). Corsair designed this flash drive for professionals in mind, but casual users too can revel in the high-speed transfer of large data collections like operating system images, game installs, video and music production projects, and large media libraries.Read more

Intel Pro 2500 SSD Review
Intel Pro 2500 Series are SSDs designed largely for enterprise client solutions (desktops, notebooks) that require reliability, power-efficient performance, enhanced data security, and remote manageability. While the Intel 730 SSDs are catered towards enthusiasts and the Intel 530's demographic is more mainstream consumer, the Pro 2500 series (and the Pro 1500 Series before it) are specifically architected for businesses who need to deploy a large number of drives into their organization. Intel's new Pro 2500 Series features quoted throughput up to 540MB/s and a random IOPs up to 80,000, all the while offering low-power modes to extend battery life and improve the mobility of the drives. For example, when the new Pro 2500 Series SSDs are combined with the Intel Core vPro Platform, Intel states that power consumption can be reduced by substantially: from milliwatts to microwatts.

Synology DiskStation DS414slim Review
The Synology DiskStation DS414slim is a direct replacement for the DiskStation DS411slim that we reviewed about three years ago. It is a 1.2GHz 4-bay SOHO NAS optimized to be as compact as possible while still providing ample storage and modern features. It houses 2.5" drives and can accommodate a maximum of 6TB through four 1.5TB SSDs. At first glance it is almost identical to the DS411slim; it has the same dimensions and general layout. However, users can look forward to new USB 3.0 connectivity and a few new features.Read more

LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 2 Review
The LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 2 is a recently released desktop storage solution catered to media enthusiasts and professionals. It comes in capacities of 6, 8, and 12TB, and could provide up to 60TB of storage if five 2bigs are daisy-chained together. The 2big was designed to be compatible with both Macs and PCs, providing Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 connectivity (the former of which results in an impressive 420MB/s reported read when equipped with 12TB and configured in RAID0) and compatibility with Time Machine or Windows Backup if professional-grade backup solutions are desired. This device would be best implemented in the storage of large audio, photo, or video libraries, especially where frequent transfers are needed.Read more

Drobo Review (Gen 3)
Created by Connected Data, the Drobo Gen 3 is a direct attached storage device (DAS) with four 3.5" SATA II/III HDD carrier-less bays and one USB 3.0 connection port. The new Drobo sports a new design and continues Connected Data's focus on simplicity for their storage solutions. For example, this simplicity includes the ability to use drives from any manufacturer, capacity, and spindle speed with no carriers or tools required for installation. This type of functionality is definitely welcomed, making this little storage solution quite a versatile DAS.Read more

Egypt Military to Maintain Security After State of Emergency
Egypt's ruling military council pledged to continue its oversight of security even after the expiry of the state of emergency, which was set to elapse today after nearly three decades.
The military council said its vow comes "as a result of its national and historic duty," the state-run website Ahram Gate reported. Renewing the state of emergency would require the government or the military council to submit a request to parliament, the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper reported today citing lawmaker Sobhi Saleh. If the assembly approved the request, the decision would then be put to a referendum, it cited Saleh as saying.
"This is a significant change because the emergency law in our view is a main tool for human rights violations," Hafez Abuseada, president of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights, said by phone after the military statement. "For the Egyptian citizens who have been ruled by the emergency law for about 30 years, this means freedom. I don't think this could have happened without the revolution."
Termination would mark the effective end of one of Hosni Mubarak's most reviled legacies - the implementation of a law that gave authorities sweeping powers to limit freedom of expression and to detain individuals for months without due process. Lifting the state of emergency has been a core demand of the protesters who ousted Mubarak last year.
'Suppress Opposition'
"The regime wasn't able to rule without the emergency law because it had no popularity," Abuseada said. "To ensure its survival, the regime had to suppress opposition figures, journalists, parties and civil society groups."
Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi on Jan. 24 said the state of emergency would be partially lifted the following day, except for crimes of "thuggery."
The legislation under which the measures were implemented was reintroduced in 1981 after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.
The military's pledge, in part, reflects the ruling generals' long-standing view that they are the guardians of the country, Anthony Skinner, head of the Middle East practice at political risk consultancy Maplecroft, said by phone from London. It also reflects their determination not to see Egypt turn into a theocracy as the Muslim Brotherhood pushes for the presidency after Islamists won control of parliament, he said.
"They need to have a number of tools on the table they can actually use to safeguard their specific interests," he said. "Of course, they are fully aware that civil society at large is tracking very carefully whether they are holding to their promises in terms of improving human security and the violations and abuses we have seen."
Since Mubarak's ouster, tensions have increased between activists and the military council whom they accuse of mismanaging the transition and employing Mubarak-era tactics to stifle dissent. The council has pledged to hand power to civilians by the end of June, when a civilian president is to have been elected.

Find a Doctor
Request an Appointment
It is not always easy to sustain a mature perspective on life.Virtually all of us want to live long and healthy lives, and we experience varying degrees of anger when that wish is challenged.Of course we want to be around to watch our grandchildren grow up, but that goal can feel pretty lucky when the next person in the support group has 2 year old twins herself and does not anticipate seeing them reach kindergarten. It feels scary and sad and awful to be diagnosed with cancer when we are in our 60s or 70s or 80s, but it is not unreasonable to pause for a second and be grateful that this news did not come to us thirty years earlier.
I will begin by admitting that the title of this piece, Wonder Drug, is sort of a bait and switch tactic. The so-called drug in question is exercise. Before you hit "delete" or move away from the page, let me say that I have never been an athlete, that I rarely enjoy my daily exercise, that I have never experienced those famous endorphins that are supposed to flood long-distance runners. I have run a marathon, and it was an exercise to convince myself that I could do whatever I needed to do. For that self-confidence goal, it worked.
Many people are surprised at the rather minimalist approach to follow up care after breast cancer treatment. Ongoing oncology appointments vary, of course, doctor to doctor and practice to practice. There are big differences among different kinds of cancer with some requiring more tests and scans. If there are blood markers that are useful, as in leukemia or multiple myeloma or ovarian cancer, bloods are routine, and other tests may be offered, too. For other cancers, including breast cancer, the standard of care does not usually include invasive tests and is, instead, a clinical exam, a conversation, and an annual mammogram/possibly breast MRI.
In the world of breast cancer, this is a really important study. As you may know, the rate of newly diagnosed women opting for mastectomies rather than wide excision/lumpectomies has really increased. Even more surprising, the rate of women opting for bilateral mastectomies. Approximately 20% of all newly diagnosed women make this choice as opposed to 5% ten years ago. This is stunning. In spite of a great deal of medical data indicating that most of these surgeries are "overkill", women continue to too often believe this is a safer choice. There is, of course, the celebrity influence, too. How many times have we all read about Angelina Jolie's cancer surgery? And remember that her surgery was to prevent cancer since she carries a BRCA gene mutation; she, blessedly, has not had breast cancer.
With all the terrible things happening in the world, it is nice to bring some good news. From CBS News and Healthday comes this headline: U.S. cancer survivors living longer than ever before. Before I share more from this article, I will add even more good news: in almost all situations, BIDMC's cancer statistics are a bit better than the national average.

This dress fits true to size but I find that the jersey fabric is a bit see through and clingy. The design of the print and the style of the dress are very stylish, but without any lining, in my opinion, the dress is more like a tunic and looks better with leggings or skinny leather trousers.

For Time, Stories Exploring Whether Animals Can Think Are Timeless
They've had three covers on the exact same topic.
This morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe hosted Time managing editor Richard Stengel to discuss the magazine's new non-mutilation-related cover story: "What Animals Think." As Stengel explained, the story is "about whether or not animals really think or not." Interesting stuff, though as Slate's Jack Shafer pointed out in a tweet, Time actually had a similar cover story in August of 1999 called "Can Animals Think?"
But, in fact, the magazine's fondness for this exact topic seems to be cyclical in nature: Time had a cover story in March of 1993 also called you guessed it "Can Animals Think?" Of course, each article contains new scientific research and insights into the mental capabilities of animals, so it's not as if they are just repeating the same information over and over again. No magazine would be that lazy.

The Serpent of Venice (Large Print / Paperback)
Venice, a long time ago. Three prominent Venetians await their most loathsome and foul dinner guest, the erstwhile envoy from the Queen of Britain: the rascal-Fool Pocket.
This trio of cunning plotters the merchant, Antonio; the senator, Montressor Brabantio; and the naval officer, Iago have lured Pocket to a dark dungeon, promising an evening of sprits and debauchery with a rare Amontillado sherry and Brabantio's beautiful daughter, Portia.
But their invitation is, of course, bogus. The wine is drugged. The girl isn't even in the city limits. Desperate to rid themselves once and for all of the man who has consistently foiled their grand quest for power and wealth, they have lured him to his death. (How can such a small man, be such a huge obstacle?). But this Fool is no fool . . . and he's got more than a few tricks (and hand gestures) up his sleeve.
Greed, revenge, deception, lust, and a giant (but lovable) sea monster combine to create another hilarious and bawdy tale from modern comic genius, Christopher Moore.
About the Author
Christopher Moore is the author of twelve previous novels: Practical Demonkeeping, Coyote Blue, Bloodsucking Fiends, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, A Dirty Job, You Suck, Fool, and Bite Me.

Yes, its only a cap but If you look at annual sales vs the marketing design I still think that the small market that buys this style would pale in comparison to the group that would buy the classic style.

My Startup in 60 Seconds: Grant Fellow
- Posted: Jun 13, 2014 at 2:30PM
- 31,627 views
Right click "Save as…"
Nicholas Liu, Co-Founder of Grant Fellow, shares with us his startup story and describes his company's service that he and his partners created with the help of Microsoft's Imagine Fund.
Grant Fellow is an online aggregator, common application, and application manager for grants. We want to revolutionize the grant application process to make it easier for professors to find the grants that they want and for grant organizations to find the researchers that they need. Our grant aggregator collects information about both public and private grants and posts them onto our database. Instead of spending time looking through pages upon pages of irrelevant grants, professors can now use our proprietary matchmaking system, which ranks grants based on their relevance. Our common application system saves time because researchers will no longer need to input information that is already on their profile. Finally, our application manager helps researchers keep track of upcoming application deadlines, so that no opportunities are ever missed. All of this is now available through a single, intuitive system, Grant Fellow.

With an economics degree from George Fox University, you will be equipped for a career in the business, government or education sectors. The economics major is ideal for those anticipating graduate study in law, business administration, public policy, public administration or economics.
Economics is the study of how human societies coordinate to meet needs. It is thus a science concerned with decision-making, allocation, social customs and political realities. It draws upon philosophy, mathematics, history and other social sciences to study issues such as:
- Individual and household choice making
- The behavior of firms and industries
- The allocative and regulatory roles of government
- The social challenges of economic growth, distribution, unemployment, inflation, globalization and environmental issues

Space Shuttle Blues: County Commissioner Calls for a Congressional Investigation (UPDATED With NY Smack Talk)
Answers are demanded, even though they're obvious.
You know what the Space Shuttle fiasco needs? Congress getting involved.
At least that's the thinking of Harris County Commissioner Jack Morman.
He's introducing a resolution at next week's meeting demanding Congress investigate "Nasa's decision-making process concerning the permanent location of the space shuttle orbiters."
Yes, that will help.

Some of Houston is still reeling from not being named as the home for one of the four shuttles that are going to museums. We get that.
But let us save Congress the time and money of an investigation.
Politicians in Houston and Texas fell down on the job.
Did Rick Perry ever make much of an effort to land a shuttle? No. Did Annise Parker? No.
The city, state and congressional delegations got on the job way too late and with way too little.
We agree with the take of Wayne Hale, former Space Shuttle Program Manager, who wrote this on his blog:
Houston didn't get an orbiter because Houston didn't deserve it....
Houston is blasé about the shuttles. Houston and Texas have come to regard NASA and JSC as entitlements. We deserve JSC and the shuttle just because of who we are....
No disrespect to those who spearheaded the effort to bring the shuttle here, but the response was lackluster. The local politicians gave lip service, some weak letters to the NASA administrator and little else. We got a limp editorial or two in the local newspaper. The movers and shakers downtown barely lifted a finger. Its hard to tell if Austin and the Texas Legislature even knew what was happening. A rally at city hall was poorly attended, too little, too late, and totally ineffective.
You can tell that Texas regards involvement with NASA as an entitlement by the evidence: when was the last time a sitting governor came to JSC? I know the answer: Ann Richards in 1995. When was the last time the Houston mayor bothered to visit JSC? Anybody remember?
But hey, maybe Congress will come up with a different answer. Like (gasp!!) the shuttles went to blue states.
Update: CultureMap found on New York Senator Chuck Schumer's generous, sympathetic response to Houston's heartbreak in a New York Daily News piece.
"I say to Houston, when people all around the world, in London and in Tokyo and in Paris, Buenos Aires say 'Gee, I can't wait for my trip to Houston,' then you can have a shuttle," said Schumer.
