Erinn Lauterbach Feb. 28, 2014 Chapter 5: Hearing the Other Side and Standing Firm Arceneaux and Johnson
Main point: What role could partisan news play in hardening the attitudes of viewers against opposing arguments? Example: Birthers in 2008 These shows both bolster pre-existing attitudes and help hone viewer defenses to arguments from the other side. Partisan show hosts (OReilly & Olbermann) Promote their own views Tear down others with whom they disagree These kinds of communications can wall off like-minded viewers from hearing the other side.
One theory of political communication is that if people are exposed to opposing arguments (both proattitudinal and counterattitudinal) they will have more moderate views and reasonable opinions. Authors use a hypothetical counterfactual Questions: will hearing the other side moderate views (increase openness) or will exposure to countervailing views harden partisans against those arguments?
Again the A & J are borrowing from the psychology literature Exposure to proattitudinal information increases peoples political efficacy and bolsters their initial opinions Primes group identity If counterattitudinal information signals an out-group threat it would motivate people to defend their groups position This desire for in-group cohesion can mediate even reasonable counter arguments Examples? Climate change?
Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) (Petty and Cacioppo) Helps the authors incorporate how the audience might differ in their receptivity to pro and counterattitudinal arguments. some individuals have a strong need to intellectually process, or elaborate, arguments while others are less inclined to do so Need for cognition Individuals high in need for cognition are better at and enjoy dissecting arguments as well as generating their own counter arguments.
People who have weak attitudes and high need for cognition tend to moderate their opinions when exposed to both side. People with strong attitudes and high need for cognition tend to counterargue when exposed to counterattitudes. Rehearse counterarguments Distrust the source Resist persuasion
Experiments Selective Exposure Experiments (SEEs) 09 & 11 Randomly assigned to 3 groups: Proattitudinal show Counterattitudinal show Entertainment show (later to became channel changing group) Focus on tax policy (Warren Buffet) Asked to watch the news selection and rate the counterattitudinal persuasiveness on a 9 point scale ELM measure was given in a pre-test
Results If a respondent claims the counterattitudinal argument was not persuasive (weak) then there is evidence that watching partisan news hardens peoples opinions making them less open to opposing viewpoints. This is what they found. When compared to the control group, those in the counterattitudinal group rated the given argument as weak.
ELM? Low need for cognition participants: In both pro and counterattitudinal groups did not evaluate arguments differently from the control group. High need for cognition participants: The partisan arguments caused participants to be more resistant to opposing arguments.
Entertainment Folks? News seekers have a desire to maintain their opinions and should be capable of resisting counterattitudinal arguments. Entertainment seekers however may benefit from exposure to both pro and counterattitudinal news. Have less defense against counter arguments. ELM? May lack the desire to connect arguments made in the news to any pre-existing opinions.
Experiment Fall 2011 Participant Preference Experiment (PPE) Shorter version of the fall 2011 SEE Before being randomly assigned to a group, participants were asked what they preferred to watch. ELM was given in the post-test
Results Partisan news shows have a larger affect on entertainment seekers Specifically, proattitudinal group entertainment seekers substantially increase their resistance to counter arguments. ELM: Both low and high need for cognition entertainment seekers are more likely to resist opposing arguments after watching proattitudinal news. It does little to harden attitudes further though
Takeaway: Partisan news has the potential to have massive effects, but these are likely unrealized because the most susceptible tune out opinionated cable news programs.
Chapter 6: The Salience and Framing of Issues
Agenda Setting: By reporting on some issues at the expense of others, news media influences what issues the mass public sees as most important Salience Primes: News media can construct shared perceptions about a collective experience and thus influence peoples political judgments Helps people decide what information to rely on when constructing attitudes Frames: How a problem is defined can affect what people think about an issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfb9f7yFYgw
Question: Does the rise of partisan media alter agenda setting? Possible theories: Partisan media may focus on different things. Stroud (2001) looked at the 2004 Presidential election. He found that the agenda on each side was similar, but the way they framed the issues was different. Implications: audiences of one news outlet will have a different conversation from that of the audience of other news outlets. Viewer watching a counterattitudinal show may accept the agenda, but not the partisan definition given with the issue. A & J find that both pro- and counterattitudinal shows can shape perceptions of issue salience.
OReilly devoted much of his time to talking about the budget and economy Olbermann did not discuss the economy at all Olbermann viewers were 14% less likely than OReilly to mention the economy as the most important problem. Olbermann successfully shifted the focus of his viewers away from the economy.
Experiment Winter 2011 SEE Focus on the ACA/Obamacare Posttest includes and overall evaluation of the president The liberal and conservative shows presented the ACA in completely different ways
Findings Control Group There was basically no relationship between health care and their performance evaluation of the president Counterattitudinal Group Participants were more likely to bring health-care specific and evaluations of Obama in line with each other Partisan (especially counterattitudinal) news appear to prime the issues relevant to their evaluations of the president. However, counterattitudinal shows magnify partisanship in issue-specific presidential evaluations.
Agenda Setting: Most likely to happen among entertainment seeking groups assigned to proattitudinal shows. News seekers in the counterattitudinal group appear to resist agenda setting (they were 10 percentage points less likely to mention the environment as a problem) Issue Framing Partisan media not only wants to set the agenda but also to affect how viewers define the issue. Priming Because counterattitudinal shows attack peoples core predispositions and partisan identities, a defensive priming effect may be more robus than simple agenda-setting effects are.
Experiment Fall 2011 PPE Participants were presented with six problem definitions of federal tax policy and asked to rank how important each was. Definitions taken from the news shows, 3 liberal & 3 conservative Participants physically drag each definition to the spot where they thought it belonged.
Findings: News Seekers Were highly likely to choose attitude-consistent problem definitions without the aid of partisan news Definitions were unaffected by pro or counterattitudinal shows. Entertainment Seekers Proattitudinal shows appeared to facilitate an attitude-consistent problem definition (only slighly) Counterattitudinal shows lowered the probability that they chose an attitude-consistent definition as their first choice. These shows may successfully alter problem defintions

Because neither of our families are in close proximity to us, we often celebrate Thanksgiving with friends in our home. This year I got to have a double celebration. I just returned from an impromptu trip home to Newfoundland over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. It was bittersweet. You know how wonderful it is to be back in the house you grew up in, with family all around? I had all that, but the reason I went at this particular time was because my grandparents are seriously ill.
My grandparents have always been a major part of my life. Even though I don't get to see them every day now, they are daily in my heart. Sometimes I find myself doing something a certain way and wonder "why did I do that?" And when I follow the thought, I discover Grandma at the end of it; she did it that way. Or I realize when something frustrates me, I step back and figure another way to go at it and keep on keeping on. That's like Grandpa. He's tenacious.
My grandparents are neat as a pin. Their home is comfortable and peaceful. Not only does their house look orderly, it always sparkles. As a kid, I knew I liked to be with them at their home but I didn't process why. Now, I recognize that their home was an extension of their way of looking at life. Their view has influenced me! I still think a clean and well organized house says "welcome."
When we got back from Newfoundland, one of the first things we did was go to Walmart and stock up on supplies and food since our cupboards were bare and company was coming! While I was back home, I noticed my stepmom was using Scrubbing Bubbles® Toilet Cleaning Gel in her toilets and I really liked it, so I grabbed some. Besides making sure the house is picked up and dusted, getting ready for company always means being sure the bathroom is fresh and ready for guests. The Scrubbing Bubbles® Toilet Cleaning Gel is a continuous clean product, with a fresh scent. I especially like the lemon citrus.
Grandma always says dirty windows are depressing (she's right!) and "let the sunshine in" so Windex® Original Glass Cleaner helps me easily comply with that rule!
With the house in order, I'm ready to turn my attention to the menu. This time I wanted to take some traditional flavors of the season but serve them in a non-traditional way and I didn't want it to take forever! Baked ham slices, Canadian bacon and pineapple with a rich butter sauce would appeal to my guest list. Sweet kale salad and an upside-down sweet potato tart completed the main menu.
- 1/2 ham, cut into 6 slices
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 6 pineapple slices
- Preheat oven to 350
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 stick butter
- 2 teaspoons lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 package puff pastry
- 3 shallots
- olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- balsamic vinegar
- feta cheese
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Bake ham slices on cookie sheet for 15 minutes
- Fry bacon for approximately 3 minutes per side
- Remove ham from oven, layer bacon and pineapple
- Bake for approximately 15 more minutes
- Whisk yolks on high until doubled in mass and creamy.
- Melt butter.
- Put yolks in a stainless steel bowl, place over a small saucepan with simmering water. Do not let the water touch the bowl.
- Gradually add butter and lemon juice, whisking until doubled again.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Thinly slice sweet potato. Place in a single layer on small cookie sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While sweet potato is baking, roll out puff pastry into a thin layer the size of the cookie sheet.
- Remove sweet potato from oven and raise oven temperature to 400.
- Drizzle sweet potato with balsamic oil. Cover with puff pastry (be careful, cookie sheet is hot).
- Light brush exposed side of pastry with egg.
- Bake according to package instructions.
- Remove from oven and flip.
- Garnish with shallots, feta cheese and additional balsamic vinegar.
I love the abundant blooms on the orchid centerpiece! Notice the white-on-white planter too.
Candlelight adds ambience like nothing else. The purple glass exterior boasts a simple pattern and the silvered interior multiplies the glow.
It felt a little overwhelming to come home, needing to prepare for company as soon as we walked in from my family holiday, but an evening with our friends turned out to be just what we needed. Life is worth celebrating, whether it's spicy, sweet or bittersweet!

Lab results, 21y/o
Lab results, 21y/o
I'm a 21y/o male who has been on nebido for the last 2 year. My endo has decided to cease treatment in june as my testosterone levels are within normal range. I will be going for another review at the end of this year.
my recent lab results revealed that i have anemia.
however, according to the results, my macrocytes are up, indicative of megoblastic anemia. BUT my b12 levels are 583pmol/L and folic acid levels are 53.5nmol/L and my ferritin levels are 56 and potassium levels of 4.0mmol/L
so my GP says i need a iron and potassium supplement, whereas my endo says i shld be supplementing with a b-complex.
who is right in this case and what is causing the increase in macrocytes exactly? both of my doctors could not give me a definite answer, which is just highly suspect :/
i also had my thyroid checked:
Free T4 : 11.3pmol/L
tsh : 2.55 uIU/mL
current testosterone : 12.5nmol/L - 10-13-2007, 03:21 PM
I can't answer your question, but would you mind sharing with us how you felt on the Nebido?
How much were you injecting how often? -
Ferritin levels of 56 are not bad may be do 50 mgs of chelated iron a day for 2-3 months then get retested and eat plenty of red meat and some black strap molasses is good as well. You may need to increase vitamin C to increase iron absorption. Ferritin levels for normal males are about half way mark on the ranges, but with ferritin more is not better. I suggest people to keep it about mid range or even a tad bit below better to error on the side of caution then anything with iron. People that need supplement with potassium need to eat more fruits and veggies rather then to get it from a supplement. Potassium level are more dicated by medcines and manly insulin levels.
I would supplement with 5,000 mcgs sublingual methylcobalonin and 2000 mcgs folic acid and that should take care of alot of problems.
There are 60 different types of anemias where one exists other mask it. What looks like a folic acid defieincy is actually a b-12 and vice versa so both have to be supplemented as well as iron..there is acctually an iron suppment I had that contained all indredents in vit B coenzymatic form along with iron. Same company that make thyroid helper I am pretty sure.. - 10-13-2007, 06:46 PM
pmol.... canadian??
your test levels SUCK, especially for a 21yr old... 360ng...
enter JANZ, patent get this blood test copy and paste....lol - 10-13-2007, 08:49 PM
well thats still low BY FAR !!
If i was going to deal with this client i would have to do a hour or 2 interview or questionaire on life style behaviors and so forth to see if any slight changes can be made to improve his levels. I have an idea it may be cortisol or stress (lifestyle related) altered sleep patterns and typical things that young adults deal with the problem of environmnetal stress which we really did know about 10 years a go is making a hidden impact of cellular metabolis on top of daily stresses and is causing basically mitochondiron dsyfunction unseen by blood tests - 10-13-2007, 09:03 PM
:bruce1: come on HAN!@!
earlier i converted it to 360NG....hell i have the 0.347 memorized for ya...
you GOTTA KNOW BY NOW THE RANGE...
300-1100ng/dl - 10-13-2007, 09:06 PM
SI Units for Clinical Data
my FREE T3 range was 4-6pmol...not sure the range for T4 - 10-13-2007, 09:17 PM
im an idiot... my wife has this done all the time...trying to think of the range....
i THINK it 10-21pmol for FREE T4
just checked... 10.2-19.6pmol... - 10-13-2007, 11:31 PM
on nebido, i recieved one dose (1000 mg testosterone
undecanoate) every 3 mths.
on the first week after injection, my appetite increases, mood and overall wellbeing improves. but 2mths in the good feelings slowly start to wear off. sorry for my poor explanation. - 10-13-2007, 11:38 PM
sorry for not providing the ranges,
testosterone : 8.4-28.7 nmol/L
Free T4 : 9-25.0pmol/L
tsh : 0.4-4.7 ulU/mL
This is my lipid profile
Total Cholesterol : 160
Total/HDL ratio : 2.2
Triglycerides : 106 - 10-14-2007, 10:14 AM
That's not a poor explanation and actually confirms what I had thought about Nebido.
I think Nebido could be a very promising therapy, but IMO the titration/injection frequency could be better fine tuned.
For example, current CW for most docs is 200 mg enanthate every 2 weeks; cutting edge TRT docs do 100 mg per week which better matches the PKs of the shot.
That said, I'm not wondering if a smaller dose of Nebido more frequently might be a good idea. 500 mg every month?
Food for thought, anyways.

Just an update on my latest order for currency for those that were interested in reviews a month or two ago. It's the 4th or 5th time I've used them (can't quite remember now) and Saturday all my currency turned up, ~$6,000 at $1.77 to the pound. That was a day early as others have reported recently. Usual caveat about risks blah blah. Me very happy as iPad just got a lot cheaper at 1.77 rather than 1.45
Same for me I ordered back in March when one of their cancellation deals was 1.74 dollars to the pound. My dollars arrived last Tuesday (well, that's when I picked them up, they had arrived the Sat before) this was my first time using them - I'd been recommended by work colleagues.
As an aside, they emailed me this week about $1.57 cancelled contracts for anyone that is interested. I'm holding out for higher for next trip but might suit someone.
We have used this company now for 4 years and have always had fantastic service You get a mixed review from people on the boards as some say the risk is to high to pay in advance for your currency etc etc.. but for me, I would never use anyone else. 1.77$ to the £
I used them last year and booked last month when one of their deals was on for our trip in October this year. I was really impressed last year so hoping for the same this year! Got 1.75 to the £ so feeling happy with that at the minute!
Forgot to post, but another happy customer here too....I got 1.76 $ to £, delivered mid-April. I know people say it's risky, but that's life. I'm happy.
Mine also came early last Saturday. Managed to get $176.99 so very happy Just wish I had $6000 dollars spends and not $2500 but hey ho thats the budget
Don't get me wrong, I save all year to buy work suits and shirts over there and it's the Mother In Law's money too. We're not flash lol
another happy customer here, got rate at $1.77 and arrived last wednesday, exactly when they said. happy days got next batch due in june but only at $1.58, giggler
Excellent prices, must use them next time we go. I got my $ when they were $2 £ about 18months ago, knew I was going so thought what the heck.
After reading this last week I signed up for Crown Currency's emails . . . I just ordered half of my currency for October (to be delivered in June) at 1.54, which I'm happy with. I really can't see the exchange rate being much above that by the time we go in October!
I have never used Crown Currency before, how do you pay for the currency, is it easy to do? I am watching the rate daily but will have to order soon for late August delivery. TIA
very simple, you either order on line or over the phone and get the contracted exchange rate at the time you place your order. You have to pay for all your currenty in full up front (within two days I think). We have successfully used CCE on several occasions but there is a risk with this. First you give them your money up front and then wait for the currency to be delivered at the agreed future date. If they go bust or run away in the night you lose your money. The other risk is that you are tied into an agreed rate, therefore if the rate improves in the markets you may find that you end up with a rate which isn't as competeive as it was when you ordered. Having said that we did very well at $1.76 when ordering in March and now we have the $$$
Another happy customer here - got my currency today. Only at 1.54, but its still better than the rate today, so am pleased!
After hearing a few negatives about CC I am glad to hear people are having good service.I have never used them and have invested 1500 in them which will be delivered 3rd sept. Got 1.58 so happy with that.Still keeping an eye as have another £800 to change.Was 1.49 yesterday. as soon as I am happy with what I see will buy the rest. Lets hope for a good rise.

Oratropin-1 Users CHIME IN..
Oratropin-1 Users CHIME IN..
Looking for some guys that have used oratropin-1 (preferably during a bridge between PH\Steroid cycles). I know most users will report gains from 2-5lbs fromt the 30 day oratropin cycle alone, but I am interested in hearing back form people who have used it in the months past. Have you seen the effects of maturing the new muscle cells. Does it really make a difference down the line in strength, size and development??
Yes I've noticed over the last couple months ive grown more overall than prior to not using IGF. I believe this has alot todo with the maturity of new cells. Its like I can't platue right now. When I hit another one i'm gonna run more Oratropin. I liked the product alot. BTW it seemed I got more out of my cycle than I expected. I ran halo, trn, zol, together and I gained quite a bit of weight and I kept everybit. I actually ended up weighing more with less body fat after the cycle ended. I did the Oratropin 2 months prior. I am still gaining strength and size and I finished my 6 week cycle about 2 months ago. I haven't had those good of results in the past.
I used the double dose for a month and was very pleased will the comp effects..made me rather hungry at times,but i def did not gain any body fat from eating more.....good stuff,but WAY !!!!!! overpriced.....go with injectable and save yourself like 150 bucks..
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.-Psalm 18:2 - 06-07-2007, 08:33 AM
yea tell me about the double dose thing.... is that commonly used? any side effects? did you use double dose of the oral or the inject? the only thing that makes me hesitate with the injections is the reconstitution and stuff. I havent read up on that much yet, and I dont want to mess it up. Injections dont really bother me otherwise. plus as you mentioned much less pricy
the kit comes double dosed at 80mcg a day,every other day you would take one..as far as with the injects it's much easier than you would think...you recieve usually 3 vials AA(acitic acid) the Igf-1,and steril water....you would need to purchace some insulin syringes(easily to obtain) The process is super easy....and safer in my opinion....i could walk you through the steps,or there are several posts on how to do it.......Once and for all: How to mix IGF (for research)
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.-Psalm 18:2 -
Thanks man, I'd Really appreciate the help. So do you definately think the IGF-1 injections are the way to go instead? Are you talking about systematic Sub-Q injections or IM? Becuase people debate whether injectable IGF-1's effects are localized or not. (hence an IM injection post workout in the muscle worked)..
I used it during P.C.T. (along with a SERM and anti-cortisol) and was pleased. I kept gaining strength as well as a few extra lbs of LBM.
I agree with Trip, though, that it is overpriced and injects are very easy. Pinning is definitely the way to go. - 06-11-2007, 08:42 AM
if taking PGH-T with the oratropin-1 to prevent the suppression of endegenous GH production, should they be taken simultaneously? or should the PGH be started say two weeks into a 4 week cycle of the IGF-1 sot that it is still being run for 2 weeks after the ora runs out.... or what is a good protocol. (it is most effectively taken at night yes?)
one thing I forgot to add, TRIPDOG: I read on another thread that you usually take oratropin-1 when you wake up in the middle of the night to piss. I was thinking about setting my alarm for an hour before I usually get up, squirting it in, then letting it sit in one cheek for 10-15, and then turning over on my other side and letting it sit, then Ill probly doze off for a while again...any suggestions?

On LB Louis Green's injury suffered during goal line drills
"We have lost a few guys over the past years during our goal line period, and I thought we had snuck away without an injury and then Louis Green stayed down on the ground. I thought the worst at first, but it looks like he is all right. He came back and practiced. I think he just got a little bruise on his knee, so hopefully there is no setback. For a guy to come back like he did, is a good sign."
On RB Travis Henry not practicing
"He is just a little bit sore, but it's nothing serious. I think it was a sore groin or hamstring. We thought it was smart to keep him out because it was just a little bit tight, but he should be ready to go."
On the first week of camp
"I thought we have had some great effort, but we are a long ways away. I thought we made some strides, but part of this is the evaluation process and getting down to 53 players. We are looking for guys that aren't going to make mistakes, guys that can handle it mentally as well has physically. We threw the whole playbook at them this week, and we have run the whole play book. There have been a lot of mistakes and their timing is not perfect, but we have had a chance to evaluate them both physically and mentally and see how guys step up."
On DE Ebenezer Ekuban
"He is fine. He just got a little banged up. He got the wind knocked out of him, but he should be fine."
On if QB Jay Cutler is wearing a special helmet to protect against concussions
"He will be wearing his regular helmet. These guys get concussions all the time. They get a lot more attention for them. A guy used to have a couple concussions a year and they would do smelling salts and then go back. Obviously we are a lot more aware of the complications that come from concussions. They see the doctors and go through a rigorous routine to make sure everything is all right. Obviously with Jay, there is no problem with his head so we won't use any preventative measures to deal with that situation."
On WR Brandon Marshall's expected return
"I don't know when he is going to be ready. When he is ready, he will be able to go out there and practice at full speed. I told (Strength and Conditioning Coach) Rich Tuten that I don't want to see him until he is ready to go and he feels like he can go through two practices. We can't take reps away from guys that are already playing."
On the Broncos' leaders
"John Lynch was a captain and he is still here. Any time you lose a guy like Al Wilson, someone else has to step up. Rod Smith is still with us and he was a captain last year. You take a look at Keith Burns, even though he is not on the field, it is nice to have him here as a coach. We have a number of guys that I think are potential leaders both on offense and special teams. It is a group of guys playing together rather than who is a so called captain."
On the players not practicing on Sunday
"I think it is good. Any time you go for a week, it is nice to get a chance to have the body recover. I think it is mental as much as it is physical. Even though they are sore and worn out, when you throw as much as we have thrown at them in one week's time, it is tough. They will get a chance to relax a little bit and go back through their play books and we will start all over on Monday."
On the team practicing in full pads
"When they are in shoulder pads, it is full speed. What I like to do, and I only do it one time a year, I put the full pads on them that way before we play San Francisco, they have the feeling of what it is like to put the pads on the knees and go though a practice like that. We are not trying to tear them down by putting the pads on but traditionally we do this one time and when we do goal line we like to do it."
On the crowd of 3,089 fans that attended Saturday's practice
"It is great to see the support by the fans, and I think the players really enjoy it. From a coaching standpoint, I had to make plans. I have never made plans for the fans before because usually you can take care of them on one side of the field. We anticipated a lot of people coming out today and it was great. They were probably five or six deep on each side. I thought it was great to have the fans here supporting our team and I think the players thoroughly enjoyed it."
On RB Mike Bell during goal line situations
"Mike has always done a good job in the goal line offense. He has a way of getting up in the air and he also can stay low and run over people. That is one of his strong attributes."
On bringing P Todd Sauerbrun back to Denver
"We were hoping Todd would be back with us. With the contract situation, we never knew how the NFL was going to rule. Having him in our camp is a big plus."
On LB Warrick Holdman's return date after suffering a spinal cord concussion
"I really don't know. He had some numbness when he came out of the hospital and until that numbness goes away he is not going to practice. We will evaluate that on a day-to-day basis. He thinks he is going to practice on Monday. I talked to him and he said, 'Hey I am ready to go.' I don't want to say that before the doctors look at him. They are going to be very cautious in that situation so we will just wait and see."
On how Holdman's injury affects the competition for the Broncos' starting strong side linebacker spot
"It has nothing to do with it. When the doctors OK him that means he is ready to go. This has happened to a number of players through the years. Obviously he is not going to practice until the doctors clear him. We understand the consequences if he is not 100 percent and feeling good and all the signs that he had that day are gone. It is numb a little bit in his fingers and the left side of the body. As Greek (Head Athletic Trainer Steve Antonopulos) explained to me, I haven't talked to Warrick, but he is feeling much better. We won't have him out there on the football field until he is 100 percent."

To show how mindless this liberal proposition is, the "red state welfare" argument appears to be entirely based only on how each state voted in the most recent presidential election. This results in entirely junk science.
First off, states that are either "haves" (i.e., give more to the federal government than they receive) or "have-nots" (i.e., get more from the federal government than they give) do not just arise overnight. State finances take decades to develop as either "haves" or "have-nots," so looking at only a single election is meaningless. Rather, we need to look at how a state has voted over several decades to obtain any relevant insights.
Furthermore, it's equally nonsensical to just consider how a state votes for the president. We also need to look at how each state votes for its senators, representatives, and even governors. Given how Congress has the "power of the purse," this is core to assessing how a state's welfare status relates to its Democrat versus Republican voting record. And this is where the "red state welfare" hypothesis disintegrates.
At the senatorial level, how can you call North Dakota, Louisiana, and West Virginia "red states" when their voting record is overwhelmingly Democratic over the past three decades? Even South Dakota and New Mexico fail the "red state" test. West Virginia hasn't had a Republican senator since before 1960!On the other side of the aisle, New Hampshire — supposedly a blue state — has only elected a single Democratic senator (the currently serving Jeanne Shaheen) since 1980. Minnesota and Colorado also fail the blue state designation based on who they have put in the Senate over this timeframe.
The "red state welfare" vitriol in the left-wing media has been intense. Witness these statements from a 2011 Business Insider piece on the topic:"[R]ed states … are overwhelmingly the Welfare Queen States. Yes, that's right. Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill … Go ahead and bookmark this article. The next time some smarmy teabagger tries to tell you it's liberals who are ruining the country and spending us into oblivion, kindly point them to the evidence that shows it is GOP states, not Democrat states, who are Welfare Queens. It is GOP states who spend more than they collect in taxes. It is GOP states who are out of balance, nationally. See if they still want to cut off funding when it means no more socialism for slave states."
Here is what Slate had to say last year:
"Now, one more cross-reference: these facts compared with the know-nothing rhetoric of the Tea Party. There are only two ways to parse that result: one is ignorance — which we should be willing to forgive in anyone as long as they revise their views when faced with reality. And the second? Selfish hypocrisy. How else can you explain the fact that the denizens of the most welfare dependent states in the country — dare we say, those who enjoy the most benefits from socialism — profess to abhor welfare?"
Fascinating storyline the liberals tried to construct. Too bad it is entirely false.
"On the other side of the aisle, New Hampshire…"
Which came THISSSSSSSS close to zero deficit, but then…..well, math is hard.
It turns out that imaginary future income, or Presidential "promises", don"t count in the ACTUALasset column.
Even the "imported" tax refugees from peripheral states, while desperately clinging to their expectations of "free stuff", have sorta figured that out.

As a travel writer, I tend to work on the road most of the time. Nearly every minute of downtime, whether it being on a bus, train, ferry or plane are spent in front of this laptop, where I write for you all. My hope isn't that you will be jealous or think I'm leading a better life for it, but it is to spread the joy, the experience, and the love I have of traveling. I want everyone to experience what it's like to travel, because it can change you, and to be frank, I think everyone needs to experience it. Travel gets you out of your everyday routine, and makes you think, question, and understand, while helping to guide you to happiness, ego-less, and peaceful living in a modern age where society demands a new way of thinking. Ocean City, Maryland is a town that began as a tourist attraction in the late 1800s. Originally it was a very small attraction, but it soon grew. Within several years a boardwalk was added so that travelers could continue shopping and never lose their view of the glorious Maryland Atlantic. In the modern age, many inventions are created for the simplicity of our everyday lives, while others are invented to revolutionize our world. Over the past decade, we have seen drastic changes with our smart phones, computers, and in our technological and electronic experience in almost every way and industry. Everything is getting smaller, more compact, streamlined and better thought out, and today I am here to talk to you about another such invention... Exploring the last wild places of Ohio took me to the southern areas of the state with nothing but my pack, tent, sleeping bag and stove. Having lived in Colorado for the past two years, the type of wilderness I was used to had changed, perhaps not dramatically, but was definitely noticeably. The lack of wildlife was the largest indicator, and of course, the elevation, or lack thereof. There were no fears of bears (well, not really), and to be honest, I was thankful for that. I left my car on a forgotten gravel road and hiked into the thicker, younger surrounding wood. The leaves were falling from burnt orange and yellow and red trees, and with the ease of the wind came the silence. It fell like a heaviness on the air, and my heart eased with it. I hiked for nearly an hour before I found the perfect view on a foothill and I setup camp. My tent went up without issue and the sleeping bag was rolled out and ready for bedtime, before I started a fire in a ring of rocks from the surrounding area. I gathered thin, browning sassafras twigs and limbs and broke them into 3-6" pieces. I struck steel against the edge of my flint and a spark lit the charcoal clothe, which I placed in the middle of a ball of frail jute. I blew and the flame caught on strong. The sweet smelling sassafras piled over the smoldering ball of fiber smoked then caught fire. I placed larger pieces of limbs and wood and the fire grew in size. The familiar pangs of hunger were apparent in my midsection. It was time to cook... The theory goes that however you welcome in New Year's Eve will set the tone for the following 365 days. Basically, if you spend another one sat in with your parents, struggling to keep your eyes open, you're signing up for a long and boring 2017. |

By Elizabeth White While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input.

By Liz McMillan Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation.

I thought that this year the challenge would only involve dealing with the fabric that's had me paralized for 4 years. But actually it's turned out to be not only the fabric, but the pattern choice too. I've flip flopped back and forth several times on pattern choice. I've also made 2 1/2 muslins in the process of the flip flopping. Yep, I am the self proclaimed THE MUSLIN QUEEN. Time consuming?, YES. Worth it?, I think so, and I'm so glad I went through the process. I realize that the fabric only cost about 10 bucks, but I do love it (hope that feeling lasts), and I can't readily replace it so I don't want to mess it up.
Here's my pattern choice, the latest muslin rendition, and my first "FINISH LINE LIST" (so named by Oonaballona) of what I need to do to fix it so I can get to the point of actually cutting into the fabric.
Oop Vogue 8548, I'm making View C, the middle version |
Muslin #2 1/2 |
- increase center back bodice seam 1/4"
- lengthen shirt length 4"
- make a 3/4" sway back adjustment in back skirt
- add faced side seam pockets
- taper side seams from proposed pocket area to hem 2 1/2" (it's a little to A-lineish for me)
- ??? Raise shoulder 1/2" (not decided yet)
- ??? Shorten sleeve and add cuff (not decided yet)
On top of all this, my MOTHER has been strongly insisting (in her subtle Motherly way) that I make a full length coat for at least 5 years. I HAVE STRONGLY RESISTED!, saying that "I DON'T WANT A FULL LENGTH COAT"! In a recent conversation when the subject surfaced yet again, I even offered to make one for her instead so we could change the subject. Well that didn't work either because she wants it for me??? Well, deep down I always want to please my Mother, so I've finally given in. Late last month she asked me what my next project was going to be. I told her it was a secret. She said, "but you never keep secrets from me". ???? So I had to tell her.
So here's to you Mother!, you'd better be keeping your fingers crossed for me and praying (which I know you always do) that all goes well with this...

The great Jimi Hendrix is widely quoted as saying that 'music is my religion' and it could quite easily apply to our family as well. Despite not being able to play an instrument or hold a note, I have always loved music. My wife is considerably more talented than me, which isn't saying much, and we have both sought to use music with our son right from a very young age.
Now that Mr. T is 2 ½ it seems he has developed his own musical tastes and is very happy to sing his songs on the toilet, in the supermarket or in the car. Unfortunately, he seems to have inherited his both his father's enthusiasm for music as well as his lack of talent, but that never stopped me so why should it stop him?
Here, then, is the Top 8 (it was originally 5, but since I decided to write this his choice has expanded) of Mr. T's favourite songs that he knows how to sing/shout at least part of. There is no Jimi Hendrix yet, but just give me some time and I'll sort that one out.
1 – Hello Goodbye by The Beatles
This started a while ago when we were teaching him how to say 'hello' and 'goodbye'. The tune just popped into my head and I started singing it to him. He quickly repeated me and so I went to find it on youtube. When Mr. T watches it now he waves ant John and Paul when they wave to him. It is by far his favourite song and when we are in the car he will often demand that we play it.
When we were in the UK my mother took Mr. T to the supermarket. All the way around the supermarket he just sang various bits of the song at the top of his voice. Apparently, even the most disgruntled of shoppers had a smile on their faces as they went by.
2 – Yellow Submarine by The Beatles
We have a series of books called Amazing Machines by Tony Mitton. One of the books is called Super Submarines, and of course the submarine in question is yellow. After about the 50th reading of this book I grew so bored I just sang the song as I turned the pages, and it was a great hit.
When I got the video on youtube I discovered that it could almost have been designed for kids. The illustrations are so vivid with lots of fish and other creatures swimming in front of the screen that Mr. T delights in counting and naming everything that he sees.
It has also lead to a bit of creativity on Mr. T's part as he is no longer content to just sing 'We all live in a yellow submarine,' apparently, I live in blue submarine, his mother lives in a pink submarine and his doe doe (granddad) and nana live in a green submarine.
3 – Blitzkreig Pop by The Ramones
The affection for this song was born at the beach during the summer. We were getting ready to leave the house and I just blurted out 'Hey ho, let's go'. The walk to the beach consisted of the whole family just repeating this refrain ad nauseam. I still haven't been able to correct his pronunciation of 'Ramones' yet, but it will happen one day.
4 – Paradise City by Guns 'n' Roses
On our last trip to the UK I was in the car with my mother and Mr. T in the back. I was talking about something or other with my mum and, at the same time, Paradise City was playing on the radio. To be honest, I wasn't paying any attention to Mr. T and very little to the song, when all of a sudden a little voice popped up from the back seat singing 'Take me home' and I realised he was enjoying the song. One of the few examples of him finding his own music rather than being introduced to it, and it shows impeccably good taste.
5 – What Does a Fox Say? By Ylvis
I can't figure out if this is a brilliant parody of modern music, or itself an example of how crap a lot of stuff is. I am siding with the last interpretation, but my son would probably say it is the height of excellence. I showed him the video when it first came out and he didn't seem to be that interested, but recently he will just randomly shout out 'What a fox say?' for no apparent reason.
6 – Happy by Pharell Williams
Ok, so this song has been almost everywhere in the last few months, so much so that it was starting to get slightly annoying. That was until Mr. T heard it one day and just started to sing the word 'Happy!' over and over again. Even better is that he seems to mean it as well as he always has a huge grin on his face as he sings it. I can't help but smile now whenever I hear it.
7 – Love Me Do by The Beatles
It would seem that Mr. T is growing up to be a big Beatles fan. I was saying 'I love you' one night as he was going to and he repeated after me. I said it again, and so did he. I realised at the time that he was probably doing it just to be able to stay awake an extra few minutes, but this was one occasion when I didn't mind. After a few repetitions of 'I love you' I started singing 'Love Me DO' but it didn't get much of a reaction. A few days later I found the song on youtube and now he will start singing the chorus whenever anybody says they love him.
8 – One More Time by Daft Punk
Mr T's catchphrase over the past couple of months has been 'one more'. If he wants to watch more Peppa Pig, he'll look at you with the cutest face ever, hold up one finger and say in a very determined voice that would almost truck no disagreement, 'One more, ok daddy!?' The first few times I actually fell for this ploy as I thought he really only wanted more, but I think you can probably guess what happened after that one more. So the other week I found this on my iPod and played it for him. He was a bit confused to start with, and then he heard the refrain 'one more time' and loved it. He tries to sing the rest of the chorus as well, but he slightly mangles the words.
