Can I vote for Glen Johnson for President?
"I think you're rude and ugly!"
Is that Michael Moore's nephew?
I rmember a few years back when it was OK for Americans to be less than satiusfied with America but Americans were careful to point out that they ,"Weren't happy with AMerica but they loved Americans."
I recently heard the old man, George Carlin saying something along the lines of, "Someone's electing these assholes. Face it, Americans suck too. Fuck hope. The public Sucks."
I think you're rude and ugly (As opposed to the candidate who just lied to her face...way to fuckin' nail it Savage!)
The public sucks. Fuck hope.
It doesn't matter who America elects. We need a better public.
Which is why we should elect someone like, say . . . Ron Paul, who will do away with the Department of Education, so that nobody is smart enough to make an informed decision at the polls. Then we'll see who's rude and ugly!
Hear hear! Best work from a mainstream reporter I've seen in my life.
Wow. The amazing irony of someone who will, in the same breath and sentence tell someone they are both rude AND ugly. Because telling someone they're ugly when they, you know, do something you disagree with, is apparently not rude. Classic Republican thinking right there.
That's awesome. Let's daydream for a bit about what it would be like if all reporters were like that... Sigh.
I try to hate Romney's guts, but his sons are just too damn hot. Does good breeding genes trump bad politics? Anyone?
@8: Republican thinking. Weird, explain, please.
@8: In the South, "ugly" is used more often than not to describe behavior, not one's physical looks so she was being redundant when she said "rude and ugly."
The woman wasn't calling Johnson ugly in the sense that he is unattractive. This usage of ugly is a southern colloquialism meaning "mean" or "ill-tempered." Yeah, she's not the sharpest tool, but she certainly wasn't calling him bad looking.
I think the only time that good genes should trump bad politics is if you're running in the Triple Crown.
That does it! I'm switching my support to Fred Thompson. It's been too long since we had a President who slept through eight years in office...like Reagan.
As an aspiring journalist, I can say that this reporter is my new hero. Fantastic.
Now, can someone tell me why Romney was holding his press conference in an office supply store? He couldn't find a reasonably nice office? Is this some kind of trick to be seen as the "common man"?
Whoa, wait a minute...are you trying to say that the moon ISN'T made out of green cheese?
It's an Office Depot. I know those planograms!
War is peace. Lies are truth. Let's give Mitt the benefit of the doubt, shall we? I mean, maybe he just got confused and thought he was doing a screen test for the film version of the book 1984?
@ 19...well put.
I'm at the boiling point with doubletalk and newspeak.
I'm not sayin' I'm just saying'.
Mostly useless clarification to Mr. Poe:
It's actually in a STAPLES (they're having a 20% rebate special on Sharpies all January. I recognize the sign behind Romney).
Now, carry on.
Then Staples is copying Office Depot's planograms. Which is typical. And sad. At least OD shoppers have a helping hand.
It's Staples. Romney helped start that company.
i don't know -- i think it might be inappropriate for a reporter to interrupt a speaker before the question period. not only that, he was argumentative.
it would have been better for him to wait, and then ask his brutal but appropriate questions at the right time. also, he got emotionally involved, which isn't a sign of a good reporter.
what i'm saying, is there is a better way to do this.
people only like the reporter's actions when they both agree with the reporter and don't like the candidate.
@24. No. I want reporters interrupting politicians. I want them cutting them off and saying to their faces "you aren't telling the truth." I want an argumentative, distrustful, obnoxious press corps.
This is absolutely routine in England and western Europe. In the US the press is barely better than hand-fed lap dogs.
@24: The problem with the vast majority of journalists in this country is that they are trained in J-School is be "objective", and therefore never get emotional, which is guised as professionalism.
Journalism didn't emerge as a "profession" (as in, there were no university offering degrees in it) until right around the 1920's, not coincidentally, during the consolidation of major newspapers, and the trampling of literally 1000's of independent publications stocked of opinionated, passionate writers. Where has that led us? Journalists self-sensor themselves or are pressured to sensor themselves and we end up with the bullshit farce of..."we report, you decide".
i don't know -- i like a person to have the ability to state their case, then defend it later. i mean, this guy was somewhat hostile. i don't want that happening to hillary or obama on issues that could be taken up with them... i mean, it would kind of be a free-for-all. i'm all for debate, but to work, it has to be structured.
that said, maybe i should add that i do like it when someone calls another on a lie. maybe that's the seattleite in me.
Hooray for Glen Johnson! Romney is the most shameless liar running for president (a title not easily attained). He will say ANYTHING to win. I wish every reporter had the balls to interrupt a candidate when they're spouting bullshit - that's what a good reporter SHOULD do!
Yeah, well, Clinton flat out lied in the Nevada debate - she said she took Bob Johnson's word that he was referring to Obama's community organizing and not youthful drug use, then IN THE NEXT BREATH answered that yes, what Bob Johnson said was "out of bounds" - so either communtity orgainizing is now out of bounds or she just lied. But whatever.

I second that.
Good for Glen for pointing that out. It would have been better if he had not proceeded to get argumentative about how close lobbyist-guy was to the campaign or not, but I'd much rather he err on the side of calling him on b s than letting it slide.
I think it is fine for the reporter to call Mitt out on the lobbyist on Mitt's staff. But I think the reporter acted like a little child. He just blurts out his objection. He should have waited to ask a formal question at the end. "Gee Governor, you say this, but what about Mr. Kaufman." Glen Johnson write-up about the apparent discrepancy is fine and objective. But his behavior at a press conference was absolutely out of line. I thought Romney handled it very well. He certainly didn't miss a step. So I doubt he was lying.
that is another point -- pick your battles. i was left with the impression that mitt didn't think he was lying, and the reporter seemed childish. but whatevs...
Anyone else listen to As It Happens? The mild-voiced anchors in that program interrupt and challenge the statements of the people they interview. This happens *occasionally* in the US, but it should be ROUTINE. The deference is one of the worst things about the US media.
I'm so jealous. I enjoy As It Happens but half the time when I'm listening to news about Canada I'm wishing that the program was US-based.
@ daniel (34):
Actually I hear that on some BBC programs (programmes?) broadcast in the US, and I spend my spare time in Italy and you see that there too.
In fact, I would wager that it's the norm around the world, except on state-run networks... and on the private networks in the US.
Sad that we're one of the few countries in the world explicitly guaranteed freedom of the press, and said freedom is used so poorly. I'm all for porn, but I think that asking hard questions of leaders (and potential leaders) should be the very first thing we should expect of our 'free' press.
Doesn't Mr. Johnson know that his job is to report what he's been spoonfed?
His disobedience of his corporate masters is not likely to be forgotten soon.
here is the real deal on lobbyists and Romneys total lies....
oh ok, put the flip flopper in there too.
Notice that Paul and Kucinich have not taken lobbyist money... Dr paul doesnt need to.
"I think you're rude and ugly."
I think you're old and ignorant.
Think about it guys, if he waits until the end to object, then Romney has a nice clean soundbite to throw up on his website, and the local news has a clean 10-15 seconds to lead with, and nobody but the other 20 jerks in Staples hears the good stuff. Hear Hear for Captain Interruptus!
Tubby Glen must be Moore's nephew, as Mickey is too effing fat to get off any more. Maybe Glen should ease off on pretzel consumption?
I LOVE GLENN JOHNSON. I am making a bumper sticker and a poster. My God, he is one sexy Tiger.

That was the main factor accounting for the drop, but there were others, mainly the call by some senators for criminal investigations into BP's actions before the Deepwater Horizon accident on April 20. Apparently there is no situation desperate enough that some politicians won't risk inflaming it with vituperative, populist rhetoric if there might be a few votes in it one day.
I thought BP's stock was worth a speculative purchase when it was trading in the high $40s, about halfway through its decline (so far). Based on huge corporate accidents of the past, such as the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, I called the selling in BP "an overreaction based on emotion and not an adjustment based on a reasonable estimate of the impact that the accident will have on BP's financial condition and reputation."
I clearly underestimated the fear on Wall Street and the wrath in Washington, but I still expect BP's stock to recover. Here are some existing or potential developments that could get the stock moving higher again once the panic and anger subside:
We're all in this together. Members of the Obama administration have threatened to take control of the well-capping operation and then backed off. Either they will keep quiet and admit tacitly that they do not have the expertise to stop the leak or they will follow through and prove that they don't. Either way, it could win some sympathy for BP.
Letter of the law. An article in the Wall Street Journal cited three requests to federal regulators - all of which were approved - to make changes to pipes used in Deepwater Horizon just before the accident. The inference that investors are likely to draw first is that BP knew that the well wasn't working properly and was clueless as to how to fix it. When the crisis moves from the Gulf of Mexico to some courthouse or another, BP can present it as evidence that it was aware of the problems and working to resolve them and that regulators had given the company their seal of approval - three times. The fact that the requests were granted almost immediately suggests that there was nothing out of the ordinary about them and that the accident and spill could not have been foreseen, no matter how certain it appears to some in hindsight.
In for a drop, in for a barrel. The harm to the Gulf Coast and the Gulf itself is extensive, and the urgency to cap the well remains. But at this point the environmental and financial impact from each barrel of oil that's released is bound to diminish.
Foul-weather friend. Hurricane season began Tuesday, and it is expected to be an active one. That could hamper efforts to cap the well. As ironic as it may seem, however, with the region still recovering from Hurricane Katrina five years ago, it could also help to accelerate dispersal of the oil out to sea, limiting BP's financial liability.
So cheap, it's worth the trouble. BP's stock has been hammered so relentlessly that it trades at less than five times analysts' estimates of next year's earnings. The massive cleanup and legal costs of the spill almost guarantee that earnings will come in below those estimates. But BP is undeniably cheap by another yardstick that investors seem to be overlooking. Its market value Tuesday of $114 billion means that each of the company's 18.3 billion barrels of proven reserves costs about $6.20. That's barely half of the $12.10 that each barrel of reserves of Exxon Mobil (XOM) costs. That discrepancy could be great enough for a rival to try to launch a takeover bid for BP and grab its reserves on the cheap, viewing as a strength what Wall Street only sees as a weakness - the fact that BP still has plenty of oil left in the ground.

Daybreak Daily's afternoon photo shoot of the pop-culture world finds a pretty good bar, many different shades, other things, and the mystery music video.
HOT 100: Bar Refaeli is No. 1, per Maxim, "As we're reminded every four years, democracy is the cornerstone upon which our great land is built. That's why this year, for the first time in Hot 100 history, we let you, the readers of Maxim, weigh in on who should comprise the definitive list of the world's most beautiful women. From movie stars to murder suspects to a cartoon, here are the sexy results. God bless America!" http://bit.ly/JO9Z6s
MEANWHILE: She has high-flying fans, per People, "Bar Refaeli has gotten plenty of attention from her very sexy Maxim photos - a trend that's unlikely to end any time soon. The magazine's Hot 100 list topper Tweeted a photo on Monday of herself with one of her many fans. "On my way to LA. Had to chat with the pilots ..." the model (and Leonardo DiCaprio's ex, 25, Tweeted with the picture, in which she sports a baggy sweatshirt, and a much more natural, little-to-no makeup look." http://bit.ly/K96LHj
CATCHING ON: Perhaps you've heard of this book. Selena has, per PerezHilton, "Everyone's jumping on the Fifty Shades of Grey bed train including Selena Gomez and we find it exquisite!! In this daring, suspenseful parody, Selena meets Carl Blue a sexy painter ready to give her his calk!!" http://bit.ly/JDmMYE
CLASS WARFARE: Hey, it's timely, per the Los Angeles Times, "Most feature filmmakers shy away from acknowledging overt political messages in their films, hiding behind platitudes such as "I just wanted to tell the best story" or "I'd rather let others be the ones to interpret my work." Not "Killing Them Softly" writer-director Andrew Dominik and his star-producer, Brad Pitt, who offered with frankness -- both in the film and at a Cannes Film Festival news conference that followed on Tuesday morning -- their unfavorable opinion of capitalism as recently practiced in the U.S." http://bit.ly/JzvC47
MEANWHILE: Brad makes his case, per The Hollywood Reporter, "Meeting with the press at the Cannes Film Festival where the movie is having its world premiere today, Pitt did acknowledge the upcoming November elections, saying, "I think we're going to see more negative ads than ever before, and I certainly don't want this film to in any way be mistaken for that." http://bit.ly/LjnJDP
SUMMER FUN: So print, clip and save. This is a great roundup of the nation's upcoming music festivals, per the New York Times. http://nyti.ms/LyGV3A
SPEAKING OF WHICH: More stars for Jay-Z, per Rolling Stone, "Pearl Jam will perform at the Jay-Z-curated Budweiser Made in America festival this Labor Day weekend at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, the band announced today. The bill will also feature sets by Skrillex, D'Angelo, Odd Future, Calvin Harris, Dirty Projectors, Janelle Monae, Rita Ora, Santigold, Afrojack, Passion Pit, X and Miike Snow. Other acts will be announced in the weeks to come." http://bit.ly/KbX6Qv
MOVING LIPS: With no voice, per Newser, "Chris Brown just got a little less popular. Singers including Pink and Joe Jonas are lambasting him for lip-syncing "Turn Up the Music," the song he performed at the Billboard Music Awards program." http://bit.ly/Kk3S7m
WILL SMITH: He's eyeing a certain role, per E!, "In a recent interview with the BBC, the Men in Black III star said playing Barack Obama "is "definitely something I would consider." He also revealed the hilarious reason he feels he's "the most natural choice" to play the president." http://eonli.ne/JzJGKT
IF YOU'VE GOT IT: She's sure flaunting it, per Radar, "Proving once again that she simply can't be tamed, Miley Cyrus nearly had a wardrobe malfunction on the streets of Los Angeles Monday, and RadarOnline.com has the pics." http://bit.ly/KJ2zke
IT'S A TREND: In some places, anyway, per the AP, "Wedding bells will ring this summer for Marvel Comics' first openly gay hero, super speedster Northstar, and his longtime boyfriend." http://apne.ws/JOiFtv
AND FINALLY: Today's mystery music video. http://bit.ly/Kkhcc2

Maybe it's the way the visual here is presented, but this doesnt make a whole lot of sense, even for an Asian ambient. There's a pair of jeans. A headline that says "live unbuttoned". And something about a magazine from a pair of jeans? Can someone please explain this? I'm sure I'm missing something painfully obvious, but...

Book Theme: 2 columns with sidebar on left.
Magazine Theme: 3 columns with sidebars on right.
Both: First line indent for paragraphs with the exception of the initial paragraph in a section, sub-section, or sub-sub-section. Serif font for body/content/post text. Book/magazine layout for posts.
In short, I'd like a book/magazine look; single spacing between paragraphs, wider spacing between sections, sub-sections, and sub-sub-sections. No indent for first paragraph, first line indent for subsequent. I have in mind a different graphical look for the book blog, so a 2/3 column theme wouldn't work. Do you know of any candidates?

Motorists passing through Cardrona on Saturday were
momentarily transported back in time as they shared the road
with horses, stagecoaches and people in period costume during
the community's 150 Years of Gold celebrations.
The event drew many visitors to the tiny village, while most
of the residents of the valley got into the spirit of the
occasion by dressing in 1800s attire. Local children took
part in a period school class re-enactment in the Cardrona
Hall and, outside, the crowd was kept entertained throughout
the day by dog trials, equestrian events, gold panning
competitions, music, can can dancers, blacksmith
demonstrations and historic displays.
At 3.15pm, a Scottish piper led a procession along the main
street, with the official party - including Cardrona's
mayor-for-the-day John Lee - waving at spectators from a
stage coach. During the opening of the event at midday,
Queenstown Lakes Mayor Vanessa van Uden spoke of the
importance of retaining the special characteristics of places
like Cardrona.
''The things those pioneers recognised and put in place are
still the things today's population want to see protected
forever and I think that's one of the most fitting tributes
we can pay to the people who have lived in the Cardrona
Valley over the last 150 years,'' she said.
Mr Lee also gave a speech, providing some history on the
Cardrona valley, where he had spent all his 76 years.
He made special mention of the McDougall family, who ran the
village's post office for 86 years, and the Scurrs, who also
have a long association with the area. Mr Lee also paid
tribute to the hundreds of Chinese miners who lived in
Cardrona a century and a half ago, and called for a memorial
to be put up in their honour somewhere in the village.
Yesterday, the celebrations continued with the annual
Cardrona Vintage Fair in the grounds of the Cardrona Hotel.
Hundreds of people attended the fair and dined on rabbit
stew, broom flower and watercress scones, spit-roasted merino
lamb and other produce from the area.

Frank Rosolino

August 20, 1926

|November 26, 1978
(aged 52)
Van Nuys, California, US
|Cause of death
|Suicide by gunshot
|Other names
|"The Lemon Drop Kid"[1]
|Musician, Trombonist
Frank Rosolino (August 20, 1926 – November 26, 1978) was an American jazz trombonist. He shot both of his sons, one fatally, before committing suicide in 1978.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Frank Rosolino studied the guitar with his father from the age of 9. He took up the trombone at age 14 while he was enrolled at Miller High School where he played with Milt Jackson in the school's stage band and small group. Having never graduated, Rosolino joined the 86th Division Army Band during World War II.
After Rosolino returned to Detroit following his period in the Army, he often sat in at the Mirror Ballroom or the Bluebird, where other renowned musicians also congregated: the Jones brothers (Hank, Thad, and Elvin), Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers. Later on he also sat in at the 3 Deuces on 52nd Street in New York City with Charlie Parker. During these years Rosolino was also performing with the big bands of Bob Chester, Glen Gray, Tony Pastor, Herbie Fields, Gene Krupa, and Stan Kenton. After a period with Kenton he settled in Los Angeles, where he performed with Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars (1954–1960) in Hermosa Beach.[2] Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, between nightclub engagements, Rosolino was active in many Los Angeles recording studios where he performed with such notables as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, Michel Legrand, and Quincy Jones among others. He can also be seen performing with Shelly Manne's group in the film I Want to Live! (1958) starring Susan Hayward, and also in Sweet Smell of Success (1957) with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. He was also a regular on The Steve Allen Show and a guest artist on The Tonight Show and The Merv Griffin Show. Rosolino was also a talented vocalist, renowned for his wild form of scat-singing. He recorded one vocal album, Turn Me Loose!, featuring both his singing and trombone playing. He can also be seen performing in the half-hour syndicated program Jazz Scene USA, hosted by Oscar Brown, Jr.
It was during the 1970s that Rosolino performed and toured with Quincy Jones and the Grammy Award winning group Supersax.
In 1978, Rosolino shot both of his sons as they slept - one died instantly; the other survived, but was blinded. Rosolino shot himself in the head immediately after shooting his sons and died.[3]

Over 1,600 Modern Warfare 3 players receive bans for cheating
Infinity Ward has started laying the ban hammer down on those who "cheat, hack, or glitch" in Modern Warfare 3, with over 1,600 already banned from the game's multiplayer. According to a tweet from Robert Bowling, attempts to cheat "will not be tolerated" and he asked that folks continue to report offenders until a patch, currently in the works, is released. Bans from the leaderboards and playing were issued on launch day as well, with Bowling stating that anyone "attempting to play unfairly or boost rank" would be culled. Thanks, VentureBeat.

Another four incidents of theft from vehicles were reported

Regular police warnings to the public about not leaving

I have stayed here a couple of times for business. The staff in general has been good, except for the last time. We had a toilet issue when arriving and the front desk suggested that I fix it myself. I had to persuade her to send maintenance. Very poor response.
Great Staff

This is our second visit to this location. James was fantastic at the front desk assisting us with early check in and late check out during our first stay here. The next visit was equally accommodating with Paula being available to dogsit for us! Thank you Candlewood Suites for your great staff and dog friendly rooms. Love the full size frig and small kitchen in the room - and even had steaks on the outdoor barbeque one night!
clean rooms, great service

"The Communist Guerillas" Betong by l_joo
Betong Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 27 photos
We went to Betong in October year 2002. Our transportation was Proton Wira, a proud national product and l_joo of VT served as the chauffeur driving a long way from Penang following the road to Baling and last to the border town of Pengkalan Hulu. This little border town has only a few shops, restaurants and budget hotels mostly expecting a big tourist bus brought them business. After a long drive, all of us decided to stretch legs and release, so we take a short break for lunch before we head to the custom. Custom is always the same and this one looks ordinary enough without big troops or super units, very quiet indeed while scrutiny work going smoothly for us. Road was clean wide, good condition and even well planted with flowers. About 10 minutes of drive, we saw the first hotel of Betong, not the huge grand type but 2-star probably.
Rubber plantation district of Betong at Yala province is located in Southern most of Thailand and the town is less than 10km from the Thai-Malaysian border. Once arriving, it reminds me of Haadyai in its overall mood. Somewhere around has a big red post tower height roughly 30 feet as landmark and in the middle of the town stands a clock tower round-about. Taxi tuk-tuk all over the place, massage parlours meanwhile bunch of Malaysian tourists (mostly Malay-Muslims men) smile all the way and Thai girls smiling to you too. Be careful with bird *** that will drop onto your head as they are anywhere on the power cable. Eating was so easy same as hotels were plentiful, travel agencies and many other shops.
Chinese and Thai are two major languages in this town of Betong, English is not so popular instead. One hotel I went to ask for room prices in English but they look at me with big eyes until I pause a while and they replied in Chinese ?Mister, you can speak Chinese because all of us speak Chinese here?. Oh I see, it?s easy then, I can speak fluent Chinese.
We stayed at a 3-star hotel cost RM60 (they accept Malaysian Ringgit in Betong). Double beds with air-con, clean bathroom attached. Just opposite our room was a massage parlour and we can see about 10-15 Thai girls sitting and waiting for customers in their purple color uniform. They charge a fair reasonable price but I couldn?t remember how much, somewhere around 240 Thai baht per 2 hours for each person.
The Ex-Malaysian Communist
They are already old and harmless to Capitalism, living a tranquil life inside the hill of Betong, the place they live approximately 15km outside the town of Betong and the name was something like Friendship Village if I memorize correctly. The road signboard has English written as Piyamit Tunnel so we suppose that should be the one we are looking for. We set out from our hotel around 11am, after asking one hotel attendant about the direction, we roughly get the location idea. Road was okay, very wide big clean road, straight ahead without much turns and then about 15 minutes we come to a shop housing area. A Chinese medicine shop appeared and we decided to ask the shop owner regarding the direction and we got it. The Chinese doctor sends us one aunty whom he claimed as his patient that lived near to the Friendship Village, so we bring along this aunty for her to give directions. She can speak Chinese dialects and we can understand her, why not. Less than 5 minutes, we come to an old Chinese village with Chinese temple and Chinese words written on walls as road sign. Here is her house, she pointed at one alley and so we drop her there and then we drove ahead as according to her estimation about 30 minutes more to that village. Now the road has becoming very narrow, some portion already in bad condition and very stiff up and down. It?s like a 4-wheel-drive adventure tracks, I have to make sure my right foot step firmly onto the brake and up to one stage we even have to stop to cool down the brake. Anyway, we finally arrived at the Friendship Village. It looks like an ordinary kampong but with some old military vehicles on display and some outdated Communism slogans written here and there, wow let?s explore.
Meet the old Commies
This is not Cold War because Lenin and Mao already gone but only some remaining old Malaya Commies. The official name of this place is Piyamit Tunnel but the Thai-Chinese called it Friendship Village, I didn?t ask them why. Anyway, we met a guy age around 70?s where we chit chat with him nearly two hours about his Communism days. He told us many old stories from why he joins the Communist until they surrendered. One thing he repeated many times was his origin motivation of joining the Communist party, he said it was all because he was a very poor young man from a village in Kedah state (Kedah is a northern state of Malaysia) and when the day Communists came to recruit party members, he went with them. He also told us many insider?s secret of how they eventually splitted into two gangs where each of them has their own viewpoint about their philosophy of Communism. We asked him by what way they get communications with Mao?s Communist in China, he said the Chinese built a radio station somewhere in Yunnan province so that comrades from South East Asia can receive their latest news.
Piyamit Village - Guerrilla Tunnel
Entrance was 50 Thai baht for each person and visitors must climb up the hill slope, not easy for non-exercise tourists. About 10 minutes we can see up there a tunnel but not immediately walk in because we want to wait for the old comrade to give us direction and also he will explain to visitors some exciting old war stories.
This tunnel is not a grand huge stunning work like Angkor Wat, it is only a 3 month?s digging by approximately 50 peoples, length nearly 1km and some 55 feet wide. The Malaya Communist Guerrillas use it to hide from air attacks and also for store provisions. It was said a group of people called the Thailand Joint-developers in year 1976 first came to settle here. The moment I step inside, it was very clean and well taken care of for tourism purposes and next to the tunnel has one small museum look-alike building. This museum has many old Communistic materials for you to enjoy. According to the history written on the display box, the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) was first established in Kuala Pilah of today?s Seremban state in Malaysia. To read more about Communist party of Malaya, there's a book (Alias Chin Peng: My Side of History) and for the Location map to Betong, click on this link

Christmas is finally here
Christmas is finally here,
Let us go out and spread the cheer,
Let us send out sincere wishes to all those we meet,
May our hearts be filled with purity from underneath.
Merry Xmas to you and your family.
Christmas is forever
Christmas is forever,
not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving,
are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel,
in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others
is good you do yourself.
What do we love about Christmas
What do we love about Christmas,
Does our delight reside in things?
Or are the feelings in our hearts,
the real gift that Christmas brings,
It's seeing those we love,
And sending Christmas cards, too,
Appreciating people who bring us joy,
Special people just like you
Evergreen Boughs That Fill Our
Evergreen boughs that fill our homes
With fragrant Christmas scents,
Hearts filled with the loving glow
That Christmas represents;
Christmas cookies, turkeys stuffed,
Festive holly berry,
Little faces bright with joy,
Loved ones being merry;
Christmas Is Forever
Christmas is forever,
not for just one day,
for loving, sharing,
giving, are not to put away
like bells & lights and tinsel,
in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others
is good you do yourself.
On The Morning
On the Morning of Christ's Nativity
This is the month, and this the happy morn
Wherein the Son of Heav'n's eternal King,
Of wedded Maid, and Virgin Mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring;
For so the holy sages once did sing,
That he our deadly forfeit should release,
And with his Father work us a perpetual peace.
Twas The Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
Christmas Treasure
Dear Lord, we're here at Christmas time
To honor your sacred birth,
Dear Savior, thank you for bringing all
Your precious gifts to earth.
As we delight in this holiday
With its bright and special pleasure,
We pray to remember all year round
That You are the only true treasure.
In Jesus' name we pray, Ameen.
A Christmas Lullaby
Sleep, baby, sleep! The Mother sings:
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
With swathes of scented hay Thy bed
By Mary's hand at eve was spread.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
At midnight came the shepherds, they
Whom seraphs wakened by the way.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
And three kings from the East afar,
Ere dawn came, guided by the star.
Sleep, baby, sleep..
Don't Forget Jesus
Christmas is a special time
To reflect on Jesus Christ
The wonder of His lowly birth
Brings meaning to our lives
There really is no other reason
We celebrate this day
The birth of God's precious son
And the life He willingly gave.

I am building my 1st WordPress site. I am using a theme called Picture Perfect. I made a page called "Got Questions." This how my page is set up, "If you have any questions on Post Processing just e-mail me and I promise to get back to you. If I don't know the answer, I find the answer."
This is the code I used: "
[contact-form-7 id="57" title="Contact form 1_copy"]."
When I go to page on the site I see this: "You seemed to have found a mislinked file, page, or search query with zero results. If you feel that you've reached this page in error, double check the URL and or search string and try again.
Alternatively, a more personalized method of tracking down and searching for content can be found below."
Can anyone tell me what I did to cause this and how do I fix it?

These are very similar companies. Look at what happened today with each. Very curious. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=GKK#chart4:symbol=gkk;range=1d;compare=sfi;indicator=volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=on;source=undefined
It's hard to think of many similarities between SFI and GKK other than REIT status.iStar has $14 Billion in unsecured assets and $12 Billion in unsecured debt, with about 25% of its assets in bricks and mortar. At the end of Q4 it had $570MM in unrestricted cash/liquidity and is about to close on a new $700MM - $1 Billion revolver.iStar also has (i think) more NPAs than GKK and (i think) higher reserves.The financial structure makes them quite different though both obviously share the CRE space.Quad
they are both Hybred Reits, with NNN lease real estate portfolios on the real estate side and a mixture of 1st mtge whole loans and mezz loans on the debt side. Both finance with LOCs and CDOs as well as mortgages on the real property. DFI is larger, but I see many similarities...
Hedgies shorting GKK to cover SFI?
SFI had a very large bounce on Q4 earnings. SFI also have a large bounce today.Expect GKK to move strongly on earnings unless they announce bad news going forward.

Installed in a 2006 Kia Sedona mini-van without issue in Feb 2011. FM transmitter works very well assuming your DVD player (which is NOT included with this product just as a reminder) has a decent audio output. Very simple connections: 2 sets of male RCA cables (Y,R,W) in case you want to connect to two inputs and switch between the two. The RCA cables are attached to the monitor and are only 12" long at best, so your or your installer will need likely need to purchase long cables. Relative to other overhead monitors in this price range, the screen is HUGE and excellent quality even though it is not "name brand". Just FYI - when driving, it will completely block rear-view mirror; however, the screen does a good job of staying static even when swiveled and does not shake all over the place unless you are hitting a lot of potholes in a row or something. This was the greatest bargin I could find for a monitor by far compared to Amazon, Frys, and Best Buy. Minor gripes:
The lights are not overly bright which may be an issue if this is installed over a dome light (mine was not). The rubber material looks and feels nice, but as with most dark materials, fingerprints of ours and the little ones are constantly visable everywhere. When you are storing the monitor away, occasionally, you will need to slam it closed for the screen's latch to catch on to the base.
I purchased this for a Ford Expedition. The image is bright and clear for both 2nd & 3rd row passengers. The wireless IR headphones work well with it. I've used SHP brand and Farenheit brand wireless headphones with it. with good results. The screen image gets brighter and clearer if you tilt it down more. In our vehicle, instead of pointing the screen right at the viewer's face, we point it down more towards the seat and we can see it better. Not sure if all of them are this way, or just ours, but it works find for us. There is definitely a little shake to the screen when driving, but not to the point that it makes the movie hard to watch. The angle of the IR wireless sound beam is a little narrow, so 2nd row passengers cannot lean out to rest against the door or their sound drops out. As long as they sit with their head on the headrest, no problems.
I looked at many different models before I chose this 12" overhead monitor. 1st thing you should be aware of is many products out there are only 4:3 aspect ratio. The OVR-121WFM is a 16:9 widescreen LCD. It also has a excellent picture being Bravo uses high-resolution LCD panels. It also has the soft rubber finish so it looks really good!
Very sturdy design, solid exterior. Great picture quality for this relatively large screen. Looks good for both 2nd and 3rd row passengers in a mid-size crossover vehicle. Pretty much no instructions on how to install it, just basic wiring info and a couple of sentences on mounting it. The assumption is that you either know what you are doing or have someone else who knows do it for you. Can't really expect much in the area of instructions since there are so many vehicles out there.
I returned this unit shortly after receiving it. I hooked it up before mounting it just to find out the image was unacceptably dim. It was barely good enough to watch at night, I can't imagine being able to see anything on a sunny day. To be fair, maybe I had a bad unit. I was not interested in trying another one - I ended up buying a different one all together.
Has 2 AV inputs, connected to a DVD player known to be working correctly had no video and only mono audio on AV1 input, connected same DVD player to AV2 and no video or audio came from the unit.
Very well priced and quality is great.
Does what it is supposed to do. Please note there is an external switch that controls the dome lights, which can be bypassed and wired into your car to illuminate when door is opened. If you want this to come on and off with car ignition, you will probably need a relay which will send power to this monitor when ignition is turned on. This is a pretty big screen probably best suited for big vans where you are sitting 3 to 4 feet away. We'll see how it holds up.

MAN is this an awesome hill. 1800 vert and the softest most consistent snow in the state. 400" annually and they mean it. A great mountain for all ability levels. Nothing extremely steep here, but there are some rocks to jump off and a couple short chutes if you want a bigger thrill. The groomers are ballroom wide cruisers and have an amazingly consistent pitch. Pretty affordable, and the staff are laid back and fun. New terrain on the back of the mountain gives you awesome views of Payette Lake. They also really take care of their mountain in the off season to make sure it is really ready to open when it does. This includes mowing the bushes on the mountains groomers, something Bogus should pay attention to.
However, recent ownership shuffles have resulted in the company acquiring much of the land surrounding its base area (currently a parking lot and the lodge) and plans are in the works to build a significant number of condos and vacation homes and an expanded base lodge area. WHY they still wish to proceed with this plan in THIS housing market, AND knowing full well what happened to Tamarack just 30 miles away has me completely boggled. Claims are that this is the only way this mountain can compete against other destination resorts, but I cry foul. The mountain already has a well established reputation and could certainly operate in a financially sound manner without relying on real estate deals to keep it open. Real estate development will undoubtedly ruin the charm of this mountain and turn it from the true skiiers mountain to some sell out vacation home boondogle that I would certainly discontinue visiting.

Warren County Judge Executive, Mike Buchanon said it would not surprise him at all if the 501(c)(3) group, Good Citizens for Good Government is used to attack him in the weeks leading to the election. Buchanon said his Democratic opponent, Harold Brantley has boasted for months about doing whatever it takes to win in November.
WBKO learned about the group on Oct. 6, 2006, after it was filed with the Secretary of State's office that day. The groups Incoporator, Dewey Glasscock of Alvaton, Ky., is a good friend of Brantley, as well as a contributor to his campaign.
"I've known Dewy Glasscock for forty years, yes a dear friend of mine."
According to the groups articles of incorporation it states the organization is exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes. When asked, Brantley told WBKO he had heard about the group and further reiterated the underlying educational theme.
"That is an educational corporation that just informs voters about certain issues, it's not only about elections its any kind of issue that wants to be aired."
It is against the law for charitable, non profit groups to back a political candidate or their campaign. Buchanon said when he heard about the group being formed he wondered why it was a 501 (c)(3).
"I heard that one of his friends was going to form it, then I heard about another one that is going to be a part of it, and I thought they were going to form a 527 which is the type of thing which are really used for political attack ads."
"They do not advertise for a candidate, they are an information corporation that talks about issues not a candidate but about issues," Brantley said about the organization.
"I expect to be attacked during a campaign, that's part of campaigning anymore unfortunately. I love campaigning, I love going out and knocking on doors and going to functions and meeting people and talking to people. And I absolutely hate the last four or five weeks when all the negative stuff hits," Buchanon said.
On Oct. 6, 2006, Buchanon retained the services of Bowling Green law firm English, Lucas, Priest, and Owsley. The firm sent a letter to Brantley and Glasscock as well as four other named members of the Good Citizens for Good Government group. The letter warned of violating state and federal campaign laws if the group made expenditures or conducted advertising campaigns.

We loved Levoca too but when we were there many of the houses looked neglected. Your accommodation sounds great, we might use it someday. We visited yet another restaurant and thought it was super too.
This unknown city is really very charming. I stopped there twice as for now and liked it a lot.
Nice pictures of Levoca. Did you make it to the church on the hill?

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Charlie Crist urged Floridians to help persuade the federal government to release $3.4 billion to the state in recovery money for education Thursday as he announced Florida's stimulus Web site is up and running.
Florida needs a waiver from U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan to get the stimulus money because the state is spending less on public schools than it did three years ago. Crist recently met with Duncan in Washington.
"I'm encouraged that we will get the waiver," Crist said at a news conference. "But I would also encourage our fellow Floridians to e-mail the secretary and ask our members of our congressional delegation to weigh in and ask for his support for the waiver."
The stimulus Web site -- www.FlaRecovery.com -- was launched to report how an estimated $13 billion in federal money will be spent in Florida over the current and next two budget years.
Crist has proposed using the stimulus money to help offset potential deficits in this fiscal year's $65.5 billion state budget and next year's, which will go into effect July 1.
State officials had hoped they'd have the waiver by now, but Crist's budget director, Jerry McDaniel, said he's now been told a decision may not come until the end of the month.
Lawmakers, meanwhile, have begun writing the 2009-10 budget and are considering some major spending cuts to keep it balanced. They are facing a gap of about $6 billion between expected revenues and spending to keep current programs going.
The stimulus may fill only half that hole. Increasing taxes on cigarettes and other ways to raise money have been proposed including the repeal of some sales tax exemptions. Crist, though, continues to say tax increases aren't needed because of the federal money.
"I'm a stimulus fan," Crist said, but he acknowledged more spending cuts also will be needed.

Denis Farrell, Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG — The body of Rwanda's former spy chief was found, possibly strangled, in a hotel in South Africa, police said Thursday. Rwandan dissidents accused President Paul Kagame of ordering his assassination.
The suspicious death of Patrick Karegeya, a former Kagame ally who turned against him, follows a pattern of assassinations ordered by the Rwandan president, said Theogene Rudasingwa of the opposition coalition Rwandan National Congress. Kagame's government vehemently denies it has targeted dissidents.
Karegeya's body was discovered in a room at Johannesburg's plush Michelangelo Towers hotel on New Year's Day, and many questions remain unanswered in a country with a high crime rate.
"He was found in the hotel room dead on the bed," said a statement from South African police spokeswoman Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale. "A towel with blood and a rope were found in the hotel room safe. There is a possibility that he might have been strangled." She said a murder investigation has been opened in the death of the 53-year-old who reportedly fled to South Africa in 2007.
Rwandan High Commissioner Vincent Karega told local broadcaster eNCA that talk of assassination is an "emotional reaction and opportunistic way of playing politics." He urged people to wait for a report from the South African police.
Gunmen twice tried to kill Kagame's former chief of army staff, Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa, while he was living in exile in Johannesburg in 2010. Nyamwasa told The Associated Press in 2012 that Kagame has hunted him and other dissidents around the world, "using hired killer squads."
Karegeya, the former Rwandan intelligence boss, said in a conversation on Nov. 30 with an AP journalist that he understood that his organizing of opposition to Kagame was risky and could cost him his life. Karegeya said his family was being persecuted: his daughter's Rwandan passport was revoked on Kagame's orders while she was trying to leave Uganda, where she grew up in exile, and his own quest for work with the United Nations had been obstructed by Kagame.
Kagame's spokesman and Rwanda's foreign minister could not be reached by telephone and did not immediately respond to email requests for comment.
Rwandan exiles from the president's Tutsi tribe say British, U.S. and Belgian law enforcers have frequently warned them that their government is plotting to kill them. Two British legislators called for Britain to review its relationship with Rwanda in 2011 when they said a Scotland Yard investigation led to the deportation of an alleged Rwandan assassin trying to enter Britain. Two Rwandan exiles said they received warnings from Scotland Yard that the Rwandan government posed an "imminent threat" to their lives.
Kagame's government issued a statement then saying, "Never does the government of Rwanda threaten the lives of its citizens, nor use violence against its people, wherever they live."
In 2012, Sweden and Belgium both deported Rwandan diplomats, Sweden for spying on Rwandan refugees, and Belgium for activities inconsistent with his diplomatic status.
Kagame has long been accused of extra-territorial killings, including ones committed when Karegeya was the feared boss of Rwanda's external security agency.
In 1996, former Interior Minister Seth Sendashonga and businessman Augustin Bugirimfura were gunned down in Nairobi, Kenya. Kenya detained a Rwandan diplomat briefly then released him under pressure from Kagame. Also in Nairobi, legislator and former government intelligence chief Theoneste Lizinde was assassinated in 1998. In 2000, presidential adviser Assiel Kabera was shot dead in Kigali, Rwanda's capital, reportedly by men in military uniform.

2016 Infiniti Cars
Infiniti was created in 1989, when Nissan needed a channel to sell premium vehicles that were more appropriate for higher price points. Their first model, the Q45, was a large luxury sedan that was sold until 2006, while the G35, introduced in 2003, became the G37 and has been credited with reviving the brand.

Very nice Saturday night supper! I did make one change, I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, about a quarter teaspoon, it added a nice zing. The recipe was quick and very easy to put together; we will definately make it again, thanks for sharing.
Oh maaaaa-aa-aan - THIS is an awesome recipe! Made it last night for dinner - definitely moves into the top 3 faves list! Couple'a switches - I kicked up the pepper to 1/2 tsp; made the bell pepper 1 red and 1 orange; made the onion a red one and shook in some really good curry powder and fresh dill. Served it over brown rice and couldn't believe how good this was! Thanks for posting this to RZ!
I love that it was easy and used ingredients I typically have on hand. For me it seemed to lack something as I found the flavour kind of bland. We tried topping it with southwest flavoured cheese and that actually did improve it. Maybe a jalapeño or two? I don't know. I was a little disappointed. I may try it again with some tweaking for my tastes because I do like the idea of this dish.
