Excellent 4.3 /5 from 136 reviews
The front desk lady was very nice, sorry don't remember her name. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. Great for a one night stay. If I was staying longer, I probably would've needed more room for my toddler to run around. Good breakfast! Slow elevators, used the stairs mostly since we were on the 2nd floor.
Comfortable and GREAT location. Heating and AC unit a little loud and refrigerator had irritating ticking.
Service and room was great. Although not listed as such, the tub was a deep soaking one. Breakfast was just fair except for the waffles. Unlike most hotels with a large Belgian waffle maker, theirs makes 4 small ones. Less waste when you can make small waffles. You can choose regular or blueberry. I would stay here again if I was in the area. Convenient to food and shops
Very friendly front desk staff! Good choices at the breakfast buffet. Most comfortable pillows and beds I've found in this area. Just need to update the shower heads to make this place outstanding.
Convenient access to main roads and highways. Thanks!

Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) newly released Live Writer for Windows is getting oodles of praise, but I'm going to demur. It's typical Microsoft eye candy: Pleasant to look at, but seemingly designed by people who have only seen photographs of real bloggers. Some examples:
1. On setup it refused to auto-recognize my blog at its actual address. And the typically over-controlling Microsoft software wouldn't give me a manual config mode screen to set the blog up directly, simply blowing up with an error instead. I had to trick it into giving me a manual config screen by giving it the incorrect URL for my blog. Go figure.
2. The "Web" layout in the app is nonsensical. Because I have a three column CSS layout Microsoft Live Writer faithfully mimics that on screen. Except there is a problem: On the blog those two other (outer) columns have content. On the editor screen they're empty, like giant white margins that should be able to get rid of, but can't. Go back to normal view, however, and it screws up the HTML formatting, like block quotes. Great.
3. It doesn't auto-load your most recently posted stories. Instead, it forces you to go find some stories and load them in yourself. That's dumb.
Do yourself a favor. Don't bother installing Windows Live Writer. Go get Firefox, and load the excellent Performancing extension. It does everything (useful) Live Writer does (and more), it's free and open source, and it's browser-integrated. Who needs another standalone binary app anyway?

Most of the rooms/buildings are closed to the public, however you can look into a few of the dimly lit rooms and imagine how wealthy and opulent the city was at the time.

Hutongs, Summer Palace, Peking Duck
This is our last day in Beijing. We have found the pace quite demanding and were dubious about our ability to have another full day touristing, but as this is our last day we decided to make the most of it. We started a little later than usual so that we could relax in the morning and catch up with mail, news and have a slightly slower start.
Our first stop was a pedicab ride through the Hutongs of Beijing. This was a fun ride for us ...
Things Are Looking Up
... in China, we didn't budge until every seat was full. We drove up a pretty steep incline and were let off in a parking lot, where we were to walk up to the cable car station. Somehow the incline seemed even steeper when I had to walk it. On the way up I noticed an earth-moving machine lying on its side. I wondered how something so heavy could tip over and then I looked at the incline again and had my answer. This was a very steep hill. I was ...
The Rest of Beijing
... red lights. It's like the entire building is a series of geometric red cubes.
We woke up early to head to a giant flea and antique market. It was overwhelming. There were sections for everything from furniture to painting to jade and pearls. Everywhere you look there is something to buy. We saw replica Mao-era weaponry, stuffed wolves, painted scrolls, prayer walnuts, carved wooden furniture modeled after different dynasty ...

... home in a torrential downpour. I was soaked through within the first three minutes.
Today was spent walking up stairs, and down stairs, until I learned to hate whoever decided to invent stairs. The Great Wall of China has a section built in a wooded mountain pass, and we (fools that we are), decided to climb the steepest section of air on one of the rare sunny days in Beijing - thanks to the downpour last night. Seeing how worn down the steps are on ...

|Canned chicken broth/Stock
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|Dry white wine
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Black pepper
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|Olive oil
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Clove (5 gm), minced or crushed

2. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch, chicken broth, wine, salt and pepper. Set the sauce aside.
3. Spoon the olive oil into a large heavy skillet and place over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 seconds.

hi, recently i acquired my z10 with the bb os10 software. However, there is a problem with the BBM as it can't connect to server. Then i use the autoloader for bb dev alpha and the bbm works. Now i want to revert back to bb os10 for the official release, is that possible? because i can't access my media features and most features went missing. Please help me with this problems.
The BBM server issues from the past 24 hours should be remedied by now, and you should have no problems.
If they persist, you should call your mobile provider and have this issue escalated to RIM's technical support.

|Singles from The Dreaming
The Dreaming is the fourth studio album by the English singer Kate Bush, released in 1982 via EMI Records. Recorded over two years, the album was produced entirely by Bush and is often characterized as her most uncommercial and experimental release. The Dreaming peaked at no. 3 on the UK album chart and has been certified Silver by the BPI, but initially sold less than its predecessors and was met with mixed critical reception. Five singles from the album were released, including the UK no. 11 "Sat in Your Lap" and the title track.
The critical standing of the album has improved significantly in the recent decades.[6] Slant Magazine listed the album at #71 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s".[7] It is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die',[8] the Mojo "Top 50 Eccentric Albums of All Time" list[9] and The Word magazine's "Great Underrated Albums of Our Time" list.[10]
Recording and composition[edit]
Bush's third album Never For Ever had been a co-production between her and Jon Kelly. For her fourth album, she elected to produce the work entirely herself. With her newfound freedom, Bush experimented with production techniques, employing a diverse blend of musical styles. She also made extensive use of the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer, which she had first used on Never for Ever. She also collaborated with a variety of engineers, including Nick Launay, who had previously worked with artists such as Public Image Ltd and Phil Collins.[6] Recording began around the release of Never for Ever, with the first demo for "Sat in Your Lap" being laid down in September 1980, inspired after Bush attended a Stevie Wonder concert.[1]
According to critic Simon Reynolds, "armed with the Fairlight and other state-of-the-art machines, Bush pushed her existing maximalist tendencies to the brink of overload."[11] In June 1981, the first single was released, "Sat in Your Lap", which peaked at No.11 in the UK. Work however was proving more time consuming with a release date for the album not forthcoming. Bush spoke of experiencing writer's block.[6] Over the summer of 1981, Bush worked on the album in Abbey Road Studios and Odyssey Studios as well as working with Irish bands Planxty and The Chieftains in Dublin.[12] After long days in the studio, Bush decided to take a break from the album in the latter part of 1981 and resumed work in the early months of 1982 - laying overdubs and other final touches throughout the period January to May 1982 in Advision Studios.[13]
The Dreaming has been characterized as an experimental release.[14][6][15] Sonically, the album employs folk instruments such as mandolins, uilleann pipes, and didgeridoos,[16] shifting time signatures and textures, polyrhythmic percussion, samples[6] and vocal loops.[17] Its songs draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including old crime films ("There Goes a Tenner"), a documentary about the war in Vietnam ("Pull Out the Pin"), the plight of Indigenous Australians ("The Dreaming"), the life of Houdini ("Houdini") and Stephen King's novel The Shining ("Get Out of My House").[18] Other tracks explore more personal issues; "Sat in Your Lap" examines feelings of existential frustration and the search for knowledge, while "Leave It Open" speaks of the need to acknowledge and express the darker sides of one's personality.[19][20] The Quietus suggested that "The Dreaming's disparate narratives frequently seem to be tropes for Bush's quest for artistic autonomy and the anxieties that accompany it."[6] Barry Walters of Pitchfork described its sound as more similar to experimental post-punk bands such as Siouxsie & the Banshees and Public Image Ltd in comparison to her previous works.[21]
Release and commercial performance[edit]
The album was finally released in September 1982 following the second single, title track "The Dreaming". The single performed badly, peaking at a low 48, but the album fared better, peaking at No. 3 in the UK. It however only remained on the chart for 10 weeks, making this Bush's lowest-selling album, being certified just silver.[22][23]
"The main thing I heard was 'uncommercial'… the label that the press, the record company put on it. "But for an uncommercial record to go straight in at No.3 in the charts seems ironic to me."— Kate Bush (1984)[24]
In November the next (and final UK release) single, "There Goes a Tenner", was released in the UK. It failed to chart at all - Bush's only single not to enter the UK top 100.[22] In Europe, "Suspended in Gaffa" was released instead, which performed better chartwise. Belatedly, another single, "Night of the Swallow" was released in Ireland in November 1983.[13]
Despite the album's relatively lacklustre sales elsewhere, The Dreaming was Bush's first album to dent the US Billboard Top 200, largely due to the growing influence of college radio. Following this, an EP was released in 1983, which also charted. In 1984, her second album Lionheart was belatedly released in the US.[13]
With the lengthy and expensive studio time used to complete the album, EMI Records were concerned at the relatively low yield of the album. Following this, Bush decided to build her own studios where she could be free to spend as much time as she liked. Although her next album was another long-gestating project, it returned Bush to the top of the charts.[25]
The album cover depicts a scene described in the lyrics to the song "Houdini". In the picture shown, Bush is acting as Harry Houdini's wife, holding a key in her mouth, which she is about to pass on to him.[18] The photograph is rendered in sepia, with just the gold key and Bush's eye make-up showing any colour. The man with her on the cover photograph was her bass player, engineer and former long-time partner Del Palmer.

Initial response[edit]
Upon its release, The Dreaming met with a mixed critical reception. Many were baffled by the unconventional techniques and dense soundscapes Bush had employed.[6] Writing for Smash Hits, Neil Tennant described the album as "very weird. She's obviously trying to become less commercial."[6] Colin Irwin of Melody Maker wrote that "initially it is bewildering and not a little preposterous, but try to hang on through the twisted overkill and the historic fits and there's much reward." He labelled "Suspended in Gaffa" the only "vaguely conventional track" and predicted the album failing in the charts.[28] American critic Robert Christgau wrote that "the revelation is the dense, demanding music," calling it "the most impressive Fripp/Gabriel-style art-rock album of the postpunk refulgence."[16] Jon Young of Trouser Press called it "a triumph of inventive songwriting and unpredictable performances" but warned that "its sensory overload will drive away the less than dedicated."[29]
Contemporary reception[edit]
In a later review AllMusic called it "a theatrical and abstract piece of work," as well as "a brilliant predecessor to the charming beauty of 1985's Hounds of Love."[17] The Quietus called it "a brave volte face from a mainstream artist" and "a startlingly modern record too," noting its "organic hybridization, the use of digital and analogue techniques, its use of modern wizadry to access atavistic states."[6] In 2014, critic Simon Reynolds called The Dreaming a "wholly unfettered mistress-piece" and "a delirious, head-spinning experience."[11] Bush herself has called The Dreaming her "I've gone mad album" and said it wasn't particularly commercial.[25] On later revisiting the album she said she was surprised by the sound, saying that it was quite an angry record.[30]
In recent years, musicians such as Björk and Big Boi cited The Dreaming as one of their favourite albums of all time.[31][32]

Optimism and Pessimism in Games
This paper considers the impact of ambiguity in strategic situations. It extends the earlier literature by allowing for optimistic responses to ambiguity. Ambiguity is modelled by CEU preferences. We study comparative statics of changes in ambiguity-attitude in games with strategic complements or substitutes. This gives a precise statement of the impact of ambiguity on economic behaviour. We also the possibility that players may be overconfident in the sense of over-estimating the probability of favourable outcomes. This has a similar effect of increasing equilibrium strategies in games of strategic complements, Finally we consider RDEU preferences.

Ace Hardware, Nordstrom and Costco also rank in a Temkin survey.
Amazon.com Inc. and Sam's Club topped the retailer category but trailed grocery store chains and a fast food company in a report released today that ranks 246 U.S. companies on customer experience.
The report from customer experience consulting firm Temkin Group shows Amazon.com Inc. tied with warehouse discount store Sam's Club for No. 5 in the rankings. Sam's Club is a unit of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., No. 4 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. Both Amazon and Sam's Club were beat out by grocery store chain Publix Super Markets Inc.—Publix was No. 1 overall—followed by Trader Joe's, Aldi and fast food company Chick-fil-A.
Retailers took eight of the top 25 spots among the 246 U.S. companies in 19 industries. Fast food chains also landed eight of the highest spots. Grocery stores, which Temkin categorizes separately from retailers, took seven spots. Banks took the last two.
Television providers, Internet service providers and health insurance plans earned the lowest marks.
The Temkin Experience Ratings are based on responses from an online survey of 10,000 U.S. consumers conducted in January 2013. The survey asked consumers to rate their recent in-person, phone or online interactions with companies in the previous 60 days. Among the ways that consumers scored companies was functionality, or to what degree the consumer was able to accomplish his goal when interacting with the company. Respondents also rated the companies' accessibility, or how easy it was to interact with them, as well as how the consumers felt overall about the interaction.
Companies received a percentage score out of 100.
Here is how some of the top retailers—apart from Amazon all sell through physical stores as well as online—scored in the study, as well as their rankings, where applicable, in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide or Second 500 Guide.

Talk:Pisan–Genoese expeditions to Sardinia
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Ci sono un mucchio enorme di supposizioni in questa voce che non hanno nessun fondamento storico. La storia non è fatta di supposizioni ma di fatti comprovati da fonti storiche. Non basta che un autore ipotizzi un fatto, tale fatto deve essere dimostrato. La Sardegna non è mai stata conquistata dai mussulmani e non c'è nessuna fonte storica che provi il contrario. Tutto il resto sono illazioni belle e buone. Sarrabus deriva dal fenicio Sarcapos non dall'arabo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:49, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have clarified the caption. There is ample evidence—and don't lie, the primary sources, which are mostly Italian, are presented—that the judicate of Cagliari was conquered and that the Saracens attempted to secure by fortifying it. They failed within a year or so. The whole island was never conquered, but a part of it certainly was. This was not mere raiding. (In the future, please use English to the best of your ability on the English Wikipedia. Thanks.) Srnec (talk) 04:06, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- http://www.provinciadelsole.it/giudicale.html http://www.provinciadelsole.it/eng/giudicale.html --126.96.36.199 (talk) 13:10, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Those are nice web pages, but they are not primary or secondary sources. The article cites its sources quite clearly. In 1015–16 some Saracens from Spain attempted to conquer Sardinia. They were at least partially (albeit ephemerally) successful. That is all. Do you have a specific beef with one of the sources used in the article or do you have sources that argue that the Saracen adventures were mere raiding? Srnec (talk) 20:51, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Historical mystification[edit]
This article is an historical mystification, i read absurdities like Pisa in Tuscany and Sardinia that was captured by Saracens, but there aren't confirmed historical sources that claim it or some references here are based on impartial writings by arabs and pisans (that both contended the conquest of Sardinia). By the way in Sardinia and Tuscany were never found traces of arab settlements, none neither a helm, a coin, a sword, a hut, or a ship wreck. So anyone can explain how is it possible, if this article speaks about "conquest"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:54, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- All the sources are in the article. The Liber maiolichinus says that the Saracens held the coastal plain. This is a conquest, however ephemeral. Srnec (talk) 00:29, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes really where? can you explain which plain? and what means "coastal plain"? large part of sardinian coasts are constituted by high cliffs, the rest of coastal plains were deserted wetlands infested by the malaria. So can you tell me where to find traces of an arab conquest in sardinia, obviously if you are right, there will be some settlements or archeological remains, like happen in Spain, Balearics and Sicily, but may be you are only person in the world who suppose it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codex1985 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- 28bytes: Good head on shoulders. Support.
- AGK: Hasn't quite been the white knight I'd hoped for, and have been a little concerned with having something of a brush-off approach to some people. Still, a generally sensible Arb as Arbs go, so unless a slew of great candidates show up (which seems about as likely as a flying pig marathon occurring across the snow-capped hills of hell), this will be a support.
- Arthur Rubin: Editor was sanctioned in the Tea Party case, and I've not seen any evidence this was ill-deserved (though certainly at least one sanction given in that case was ill-deserved). Like Bishzilla, I can't say his suggestion to topic ban KillerChihuahua seemed right, furthermore, he also indirectly called her an offensive epithet[1]. So, this one's an oppose.
- Beeblebrox: Neither outstanding nor horrible. Not ready to support, but not sure I'll oppose, either.
- Bwilkins: Oppose. After his block of PumpkinSky, it's questionable whether he should even be an admin, let alone an arb (he blocked him whilst edit warring with him). Enjoys enforcing the civility policy whilst being unwilling to follow it himself.
- DavidGerard: I have never once seen any indicator that DavidGerard ever believes he could possibly be wrong. He comports himself in an arrogant fashion that is wholly unsuited for the committee. Oppose. (And by the way, this has basically nothing to do with any of the stuff concerning the Manning case, which I didn't follow very closely. It's a greater pattern of behaviour.)
- Floquenbeam: No-nonsense straight shooter. Doesn't mess around with civility drama and will consider baiting properly. Support.
- Gamaliel: This did not impress me. Yes, it was two years ago, but still, someone with a willingness to edit war is not the kind of person I'd want on ArbCom, which has to pass sanctions for such behaviour. At this point, it's an oppose unless I can be convinced this is a thing of the past.
- Georgewilliamherbert: Inactivity is probably sufficient reason to oppose in this case; even without that, I've generally found him overly block-happy on the civility issue in the past. Oppose.
- GorillaWarfare: Generally good impression; will look for a bit more.
- Guerillero: Supported last year. Expect I'll most likely do the same this year.
- Isarra: Will need to determine if the preference is for cherry, apple, pumpkin, lemon meringue, something else, all of the above etc.
- Kraxler: I really want to support a non-admin. And I really want to support a content contributor. But looking at the answers Kraxler has given just don't convince me that he understands what the committee has to deal with. I just can't see a support here. Leaning neutral at this point.
- Ks0stm: Didn't convince me last year; will have to re-evaluate this year.
- Kww: I was really and truly impressed by the decisive and calm way in which he showed the WMF who's boss here over the VE issue. I'm not sure how germane that is to arb work, though. I also continue not to be a fan of his approach to civility, which seems overly whack-a-mole to me.
- LFaraone: Forthcoming.
- NativeForeigner: It could be really nice to have a relative outsider join the committee, and his answers to questions seem clueful and thought-out. ReaperEternal's endorsement is also a good sign for me. I'm leaning support at this point.
- RegentsPark: Spectacularly unimpressed by his most recent unblock of Darkness Shines, in that it was done while the blocking admin objected and without achieving consensus. His comments in this thread suggest that he considers this "no big deal". POV warriors in contentious areas, including the India-Pakistan, are anything but no big deal, and I find such an attitude greatly undesirable in an arb, since the committee needs to be the final stopgap in dealing with such people.
Still, one vote mightn't kill the committee. I will have to think about this one.Wrote those previous sentences when there was still a candidate shortage. At this point, support is completely out of the question. I do think there are lots worse than him here, so I'm debating whether this is neutral or oppose.
- Richwales: Running on a civility platform leaves me wary of another bad words cop. We've had enough of those on ArbCom. Intend to ask him a question to try to figure out where exactly he stands.
- Roger Davies: Not the worst incumbent one could get, though five years is an awfully long time to be serving. Will think.
- Seraphimblade: Been a good arb enforcer. Leaning support.
- The Devil's Advocate: Gets involved in lots of ANI drama, and I can't think of even one time I thought it was helpful. I can't tell sometimes if he really thinks his criticisms are valid or if he just criticizes for criticism's sake. And this was just plain ridiculous and insensitive, as was his subsequent snipe when called out on it. Nowhere near suitable for any position of trust on Wikipedia. Oppose.
Second opinions[edit]
- NuclearWarfare. Some great ideas from a sadly short-lived arb.
- Reaper Eternal. Also well written and thought out.
- Ealdgyth. Some very good analysis of answers to questions.
- Boing! said Zebedee
- And if you wanted more levity: The bane of Tokyo!

Artist: Marcantonio Raimondi (Italian, Argini (?) ca. 1480–before 1534 Bologna (?))
Artist: After (?) Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90?–1576 Venice)
Date: ca. 1517–20
Medium: Engraving; second state of two
Dimensions: Sheet: 8 3/8 × 5 7/8 in. (21.3 × 15 cm)
Classification: Prints
Credit Line: Purchase, Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, 1917
Accession Number: 17.50.40
Often regarded as the first modern pornographer, the poet and satirist Pietro Aretino (1492–1556) penned some of the most lurid and salacious verses of the sixteenth century, most famously the sixteen sonnets he wrote to accompany Giulio Romano's I modi and the erotic dialogues featuring a worldly-wise puttana (prostitute) Nanna conversing in explicit and lively detail about endless and infinitely varied sexual adventures—her own and those of innumerable others that she surreptitiously witnessed.
Marcantonio Raimondi's engraved portrait of Aretino was probably designed by the Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo, although the name of Giulio Romano—with whom Marcantonio collaborated on I modi—has also been proposed. It may date from the early moment of his career, when Aretino was still an unknown newcomer to Rome and he and Giulio were working for the wealthy papal banker Agostino Chigi; an alternative view is that the print was executed about 1525 as an expression of gratitude by Marcantonio to Aretino, who had negotiated the engraver's release from prison after the scandal of I modi.
Aretino's dignified mien and elegant costume impart to him the refined aspect of Renaissance courtier. That facade is belied by his conspicuous hat badge—an invocation of the satirist's transgressive, obscene pronouncement that the phallus should be venerated and displayed as proudly "as a medal in one's hat."

Skip to comments.Some Republican leaders fear Gingrich rise could be their downfall (Written by John King's wife)
Posted on 01/23/2012 3:46:37 PM PST by tobyhill
Newt Gingrich might have led Republicans to their first House majority in 40 years in the 1990s, but the prospect of the former House Speaker becoming their presidential nominee is producing significant GOP angst.
"If he's the nominee, it's a disaster. There is no way to sugar-coat it," said one GOP congressional strategist describing the tension after Gingrich won South Carolina.
"There is a reason most people who know him best aren't supporting him," said a former House colleague still serving in Congress.
Asked why he had endorsed opponent Mitt Romney if he had served with Gingrich for so long, a House Republican replied with a smile, "Because I served with Gingrich for so long."
Those GOP congressional sources and many others spoke on condition of anonymity because they believe Gingrich, who is running against the "Republican establishment," will only turn the criticism into his advantage.
"The less they talk to the better," said one of the GOP sources concerned about Gingrich, "it only feeds into his narrative that the establishment is out to get him."
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
D*mn funny, lol.
aH AH AH
Well if the Republican establishment is against him...that solidifies it for me!
A little pay back for the backstabbing?I should think so.Be scared rinos, be scared.
Go, Newt!! Rip the GOP-E a new one!!
Rebellion is on!!
Their careers in politics are now in tatters. None of these guys will ever see a national level executive job nor even election to the Senate.
They threw their political lives away opposing Newt.
Our biggest problem, as said for so long, isn't Obama and the Demagogues. It's the GOP establishment which has given Obama and the Demagogues center stage.
Used to be Republicans would line up behind the front-runner to help their race.
This is the first time that I can remember where Republicans turned on the front-runner to help their race. Says a lot about the party and power in 2012.
Thanks for posting. Perhaps some senators and congressmen do fear Gingrich because he knows how to bring an end to "business as usual" in Washington, D. C. Also, if what is being said in the article is true, it confirms they would have neither respect nor regard for the voters who would be nominating Gingrich.
The wife didn't like ole Newt pounding her husband.
Man....I made the mistake of looking her up on Wikipedia. She's hagorific.
He alienated the conservatives. He's never met an idea he doesn't like.
Newt know where the bodies are buried?
If he takes down the corrupt GOP he also takes down the corrupt DNC.....replacing the corrupt in DC......Hmmmmm
Go for it Newt!

So Dana Bash thinks Boehner and McConnell will go for an Obama reelection if Newt's the candidate. She may not be that far off because they maybe firing their warning shots by leaking this.
They damn well better get behind him or their career might be over.
I always referred to her as "The Cretin".
"Virginia had the most Conservative Republican Establishment in the history of the state, and they ALL turned on Newt and embraced Mitt.
Their careers in politics are now in tatters. None of these guys will ever see a national level executive job nor even election to the Senate.
They threw their political lives away opposing Newt. "
My guess is that the same comment will apply to Niki Haley. The only thing I can think of is that the "establishment" pressure behind the scenes has been intense. The truth of the matter is that the RINOs would be content to get back their committee chairmanships in the Senate with all the perks and let Obama have four more. They, from all outward appearances, are much more concerned about their personal circumstances than doing something meaningful for the country. Newt will upset their apple cart and that's their main focus. Go Newt!!!
"Got a name?"
She bears a vague resemblance to Debbie Washerwoman.
Much nicer hair.
This story has more unnamed sources than most stories found at The Weekly World News website.
Bottom line; no Mitt Romney. Not now. Not never.
The only demise because of Newt's rise or any other republican nominee is going to be OBAMA'S. Obama could'nt beat a dried turd in a tuxedo in Nov.
serious photoshopping...
the suit is too perfect the face is obviously touched up.
This is a fine example of excellent journalistic professionalism. If the quotes are true, then those RINOs have no balls. The RINOs and journalists like Bash and King are the reasons why we have a community organizing socialist residing in the white hut.
This is war. Steel yourselves and fight to restore the Republic.
Perhaps this is not the time to be sugar-coating things. The daunting and overwhelming fear among the non-Establishment persons of the conservative persuasion, is that Mitt Romney cannot and will not take the fight TO Obama, making this a referendum on the policies that have been in place since January 2009, and exacerbated more and more every day.
Romney SAYS he will stop all these abuses, but will he, really? The big question mark, is what he feels about what is without a doubt, the system he himself instituted in Massachuetts in regards to "mandated" health care. The "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act", the formal name of Obamacare, neither protects patients nor provides affordable care, and certainly shall not be able to do either in anything like a timely basis.
Depending on others to provide the basic elements of health care is not, and never was, the duty or responsibility of anyone other than the individual or those to whom the responsibility is delegated by law and by custom. The very young, the old, the infirm, and those who have suffered huge misfortune through either their own failing or the acts of others, are first and best served by those closest, and as designated by local authority. This responsibility should have never, ever, devolved upon the Federal government, because the very remoteness almost assures that timely and effective care will not be delivered. Even at the state level, there is a serious time factor, and the degree of assistance that may be provided always doubles back on the resources available.
In the end, it falls back upon the local community in which the unfortunate afflicted one dwells, and sometimes, an even more narrow definition of family, or religious affiliation, or neighbors. Do some of the subjects fall through the cracks? Yes, they do, but how many would just be left lying in the dust if the responsibility gets shrugged away and bucked on up to ever more distant supposed "benefactors"?
We cannot cure inequities of outcome, we may only attempt to assure equality of access to an upwardly mobile path. And by this I do not mean access to the fruits of others' labor, only the opportunity to acquire fruits of one's own.
Otherwise we all are reduced to a treadmill to oblivion, and the despair of the spirit that is its signature.
That is the complete antithesis of the American ideal.
That's pretty much the case.
I believe that both Boehner (House) and McConnell (Senate) are up for re-election this year. If McConnell starts playing traitorous games, I'm sure some TEA Party people in Kentucky would not mind making things very difficult for him.
As for Boehner, we probably do need a new Speaker of the House, preferably a conservative.
"Used to be Republicans would line up behind the front-runner to help their race. This is the first time that I can remember where Republicans turned on the front-runner to help their race. Says a lot about the party and power in 2012."
I agree. But I think what we're observing is more due to The Establishment not getting their way. They ALWAYS get their way...except in very rare circumstances when the Republican electorate (yes, there is one) steps up and essentially says: "No, our situation in the world is too dangerous for a country-club guy that is more interested in losing with dignity (ala Bob Dole, and McCain), than winning with a mandate."
The last time this happened was 1980. Hopefully 2012 will be the next time.
"So Dana Bash thinks Boehner and McConnell will go for an Obama reelection if Newt's the candidate. She may not be that far off because they maybe firing their warning shots by leaking this. "
I always go back to 1980 because it is the best parallel to what's going on with Newt.
In 1980, The Republican Establishment tried to stop Reagan from being elected, first by trying to get Bush-41 nominated, and then by running John Anderson as a Third Party (to them Carter was a better choice than the 'unstable' Reagan).
Third Parties can work...Perot help greatly to bring down Bush-41 in 1992. But third parties are NOT effective against a candidate that has locked down the base (aka, Reagan). And given the Tea Party support that Newt now has, he is VERY CLOSE to that accomplishment.
said one of the GOP sources concerned about Gingrich................................... Ah yes, another CNN GOP source, aka known to all as Mr/Mrs Anonymous.
Think she looks much more like Secretariat.
Article says this. Sounds like treason to me. Someone needs to shake the Tea Party third party mutiny stick at these whiny RINOs.
"If Gingrich does win, veteran GOP strategists tell CNN to expect pressure on Senate Minority Leaders Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican leaders to call key GOP donors and ask them not to contribute to Gingrich's campaign."
That pretty much sums it up for me, too. I don't like his amnesty but it's not like any of them will rid of illegals in my life time.
The GOP is more scared of the Tea Party than the dems. Fear is blood in the water. Attack!
Does FR ever do any e-mail campaigns? If Newt wins FL, we ought to set up a spot to coordinate an e-mail campaign to Boehner and McConnell to tell them to lay off Newt or else.
Mitt wants amnesty, too. Newt is willing to give amnesty to people who have lived — and worked! — here for 25 years, provided a *community* board votes to approve it. So at least there is some limit on whom gets amnesty.
Are there any limits to whom gets amnesty under Mitt?
FR E-mail campaigns? You bet. Plenty of times. The most recent notable one I recall was during the Oct 2008 TARP debacle.
Now I see it, and just as I thought it will be. They will do anything in their power to see that OBAMA is reelected, but that was the same premise they had in backing Romney. They knew Romney could not beat Zero.
They don't want anyone beating their Golden Goose.
BUT WE WILL SHOW THEM SOMETHING DIFFERANT. President Gingrich has as nice solid ring to it. Lets make it happen.
If that was photoshopped, they could have done much better.
Still, there's somebody out there who probably loves her.
Also, remember that the TARP mess was a primary catalyst of the Tea Party Movement.
Mitt still wants his lawns tended by trained professionals. The Japanese-Americans gave that stuff up 60 years ago!
Fixed it. And yes it will.

Contemporary Politics in Australia by Rodney Smith
Book DescriptionContemporary Politics in Australia provides a lively and wide-ranging introduction to the study of Australian politics. Written by a diverse range of experts, the book offers a comprehensive overview of current theories, debates and research in Australian political science and looks forward to new developments. It encompasses not only formal and institutionally based politics, but also the informal politics of everyday life, including the politics of Australian culture and media. The book is divided into six key sections that cover: * political theory * politics in everyday Australian life * elections * participation and representation * the Australian state * contemporary political and public policy issues Contemporary Politics in Australia challenges the assumption that the study of Australian politics can be dry, descriptive or uncontroversial. Rather, it encourages an understanding of politics in Australia as contested ground. Featuring a glossary of key terms and a companion website, it is essential reading for students.

Political parties have always been fundamental to Australias representative democracy. As organisations, however, their continued centrality and longevity depend upon their ability to respond to changing political, social and technological circumstances, such as declining levels of membership and partisan affiliation, and the rise of social media.

My ratings aren't based on specific criterias. If I rate an anime or manga with 1 star I didn't enjoy it at all, if I rate it with 5 stars I really loved it. My rating is as simple as that.

Hi! Sorry for the week late reply. >< Been busy. How ya doing?
All three of my cats technically belong to the family, but nobody wants to take responsibility so they just tag them as my cats, haha. =] It's okay though, then I get to pick their names. xD I named the one Akihiko.
Yeah, I heard 358/2 wasn't the greatest, but I still wanna play it if nothing for the sake of playing the entire KH series. BBS is supposed to be their current big project, so it better be good! :D
Haha it's all good, I can write just as much if not more so don't worry about it. ^_^
Haha, seriously! I've never met another person that likes all three series. =] It's great that somebody else does.
How couldn't I love cats? <3 They're so fluffy and cute, so elegant and I just love them haha.
Funny story about the new KH game. I had it on preorder at the Game Crazy near me, and I went to pick it up the day after it came out? They permanently closed two days before, and NEVER told anybody. I want my money and my video game. :(
Welcome to AP! I also used to love Sailor Moon :)
Welcome to AP! :D Hope you like it!

A statewide football all-star game in Syracuse pitting upstate players against their downstate counterparts appears to be close to reality, two years after New York bowed out of its annual contest vs. New Jersey.
Speaking at the Section I football awards banquet over the weekend, North Rockland coach Joe Casarella indicated that an official announcement should be coming soon, and the New York State Sportswriters Association reported that the Carrier Dome has tentatively been reserved for June 6.
Each team is expected to have a roster of approximately 50 seniors, all nominated by their own coaches and then narrowed down by a selection committee.
New York has been without a statewide showcase since withdrawing from the Governors Bowl after the 2008 contest vs. New Jersey due to a dispute about scheduling venues. New Jersey officials wanted to keep the game anchored at Rutgers University rather than alternating with West Point or another New York facility.
One sticking point for the new all-star game, however, will be the date. Sectional and state playoffs in the major spring sports, including lacrosse, baseball and track (all popular with football players) are still in progress. Final exams, graduations and the July 4 holiday chew up the next three weekends, after which many of the top players would be unavailable because of commitments to their college programs.
More football: UB finds Gill's replacement
Athletic Director Warde Manuel moved quickly in replacing Turner Gill, with the University at Buffalo announcing this week that Cincinnati offensive coordinator and interim head coach Jeff Quinn will take the helm after the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1.
Quinn was introduced on campus Tuesday and made a good impression with Western New York high school coaches by vowing to continue recruiting actively in the area.
He'll already be inheriting a much stronger program than Gill was handed there four years ago, but there are big challenges on the horizon. For starters, UB did not reap a significant recruiting windfall from last year's winning record and bowl appearance because some recruits were scared off by hearing Gill's name mentioned as a candidate for several of last season's coaching vacancies. Though he stayed on an additional year, Gill was lured to Kansas this month as the replacement for the embattle Mark Mangino.
The Bulls have seven early commitments, and two of them are regarded as a notch better than anyone to have entered the program during the Gill era. But that goes by the wayside if Quinn can't conveince running back James Potts of Delray Beach, Fla., and QB Rudy Johnson of Owings Mills, Md., to remain onboard.
It will also be interesting to see how Quinn fills his coaching staff, since Gill is likely to bring some of his staff to Kansas and several Cincinnati assistants could follow Brian Kelly to Notre Dame after the Bearcats' bowl game. Quinn has coached alongside Kelly for 21 of his 26 college seasons.
Quinn was a potential permanent hire at Cincinnati, but Butch Jones of Central Michigan ended up getting the job. It's likely that development created urgency for Manuel since Quinn would have been a logical candidate at Central Michigan.
Wrestling: Circle these dates
Chenango Forks and Spencerport share the No. 1 spot among large schools in the season's first state wrestling rankings, and it shouldn't be long before the issue is settled head to head.
Chenango Forks (262 points, Ridgeway, Pa., (226½) and Spencerport (209½) took the top three positions at the 25th Jamestown Holiday Classic. Chenango Forks and Spencerport are on a collision course to meet in the final of the prestigious Union-Endicott Duals Jan. 2-3, though one of them likely will have to squeeze past No. 3 John Glenn to reach the final.
No. 7 U-E and No. 8 MacArthur are also in the tournament field. No. 3 Greene is the highest-ranking small school scheduled to compete.
* Beacon senior Ryan Tompkins had a memorable week. First, he signed a letter of intent to wrestle for the U.S. Military Academy after being informed that his nomination to West Point had been approved. And then he picked up career victory No. 193 on Tuesday to become the winningest wrestler in Section I history.
Tompkins won a pair of 152-pound matches via pins in duals against Arlington and Roy C. Ketcham to pass Joe Mazzurco, who won 192 matches for Mahopac before graduating to 2001.
Ice hockey: Hobey Baker Award slated for New York
The Hobey Baker High School Character Award is coming to New York hockey this season for the first time.
The award was founded in 2003 and is already presented to a player at every hockey-playing school in 15 states. St. Anthony's Athletic Director Donal Buckley has been enlisted to get the New York chapter up and running.
The award will go to a player at each school demonstrating character, commitment, teamwork, persistence, selflessness, academic excellence and sportsmanship.
Buckley is in the process of collecting contact information for each school and expects to send out information in mid-January. School officials seeking more information can contact him via e-mail.
* Defenseman Ryan Michel's two goals and two assists lifted unbeaten and top-ranked West Genesee to a 4-0 victory over No. 5 Ithaca. It was the 10th straight win for the Wildcats.
Boys basketball: Rush-Henrietta stays perfect
Juniors Mandell Thomas and Ashton Broyld combined for 43 points as Rush-Henrietta improved to 4-0 with an 87-77 victory vs. 2009 state quarterfinalist Greece Athena in Section V action. Thomas scored 13 and Broyld nine in the fourth quarter for the Royal Comets. John Wallace scored 26 points for Athena, which cut a 16-point deficit to three in the third quarter.
Girls basketball: East Irondequoit pulls surprise
Eastridge pulled one of the biggest surprises in recent Section history with its 54-53 upset of Pittsford Mendon, which was coming off Friday's upset of state-ranked Pittsford Sutherland.
* Watkins Glen sophomore Taylor Chaffee scored 26 points and grabbed 24 rebounds to beat Odessa-Montour 53-48.
