Signs of exaggeration.
"Scott Walker hates WI people."
"I never thought I'd miss Nixon."
"Walker Spread Yer SHIT!"
"My new tools"... "Union Power" is a hammer, pounding nails into a coffin labeled "The Republican Party."
At least this one sounds nice: "We are all one union."
But it's the utopians you most need to look out for.
(All photos taken by me, today, in Madison, Wisconsin.)

Just as a mental exercise: what would the media say if the prevailing metaphor of the Tea Party's indignation were to compare the chief executive to "shit"?

Name calling is a great substitute for substantive argument. Especially if you want to avoid the issue of substance.
The unions and liberals have done a great job of avoiding an issue of substance. Now it's Walker's job to bring popular attention back to these issues.
It won't be easy while surrounded by an incompetent and biased press. - 3/12/11, 7:43 PM

Or, to avoid distracting issues: if Nancy Pelosi in her glory during the Healthcare debate, had been prominently sloganeered on a Tea Partier's poster as "shit"?

Because we all know the only way to ensure you have food on your table and keep your neck out of a noose is to be part of a union and force your fellow workers to give part of their paycheck to fat union bosses and the Democratic Party. Makes perfect sense.

I noticed the hammer/screw thing. I was wondering if there was some "hidden message" there? Probably just a bunch of shitbirds drawing what they think real workers use every day. Sad on more than one level.

Hey, can someone out there explain to me this concept of "middle class"? I mean, we're always seeing it- Scott Walker is attacking the middle class, the middle class is disappearing, that sort of thing.
Seems to me that middle class would be anyone who can meet basic needs with a few extras but is not doesn't-have-to-worry-about-the price rich. Which is almost everyone I encounter on a regular basis.
How is the middle class being attacked here?

Ya gotta love the AFL-CIO adopting the Socialist Party of American fist, changing it every so slightly by coloring it blue. But alas, I am left with so many questions:
who is organizing this
who is paying for the porta-potties
who is busing people in from other states
what dog in the hunt does Michael Moore-on, Jesse Jackson and Susan Sarandon have
why are the police telling Republican Congressmen not to attend St. Patrick's Day parades without having arrested anyone for violent threats
why did the police allow the Capitol to get so out of control
where did the handcuffs come from
The protesters have shown the dark side of our nation. Hate filled signs, protests, property destruction, disrespect for those who happen to have a different viewpoint, intimidate against businesses and people.
I want to think that the protesters represent just a small portion of Wisconsin citizens. For if they don't, if they are truely representative of the people of Wisconsin, then Wisconsin has more than just fiscal problems. - 3/12/11, 8:03 PM
- LawGirl said...

Nah. Just because the unions do not know how to ponder without groupthink, just because they insist on acting as a collective, and just because the protestors have clearly taken a long drink at the Kool-Aid trough . . . Why would you say they're acting cultish? *shrug* - 3/12/11, 8:05 PM

I'm guessing that, once the screws were drawn, they realized that following through on the metaphor by drawing the obvious tool might have negative connotations for them, so decided "screw it, I'll draw the hammer."

They really think they'll hang or go hungry (not that most of them would be the better for missing a few meals)? If they did, they wouldn't be there. These are people who always take the path of least resistance.
And the guy who says he misses Nixon should live so long. Back then, the Guard, or even Federal troops, would have been called out once the cops showed whose side they were on and the rabble would have been scattered efficiently. - 3/12/11, 8:21 PM

How is the middle class being attacked here?
Union members not only are middle-class - including the bosses, mind you - they represent the entirety of the middle class.
It works the same way as "union members" = "working families". Actual working families who pay net taxes to pay the government employees? They sort of... don't exist. Since they are not union members, they are not part of the group, and therefore are to be disregarded. Outsiders are defined as either "rich fatcats" or as non-existent.
It's your basic tribalism: everything for the group, nothing outside the group. All sympathy to the union, no sympathy for those outside the union.

All the Mom and Pop operations aren't middle class?
Well, now we know what the Demos mean when they cry for the middle class, don't we?

Typical union/democrat intelligence - a horribly rendered drawing of screws being driven with a hammer.
Forty years ago when I learned carpentry we called a hammer a "Philadelphia screwdriver" as a slam on northeastern y*nkee union type morons who would use a hammer to drive a screw. They are stupid, slovenly, do poor work, overcharge, talk funny and they are usually fat. It's good to see that some stereotypes hold up over time. - 3/12/11, 9:18 PM

Wrong. Once you get into the internals on most of those polls, you find that most agree that there should be some restrictions on collective bargaining privileges. And, that is all that happened with the WI bill.
And, in the latest poll of actual voters, 56% favor what Walker is doing & a whopping 66% of independents agree. Independents swing elections.
Although, I'll admit that I think most polls are bogus and can be skewed any way you want, we'll see where they wind up after the next few weeks. You're probably not going to like it. - 3/12/11, 9:20 PM

This is the upper Midwest, the whitest part of the whole North American continent. So it's not surprising there are no visible minorities. So the 'racism' thing is kind of silly.

Protesters who live in Madison really should think this through.
My hometown of 30,000 suffered though a long Teamster strike in the 50's. The community was divided. Businesses were targeted if they were perceived to be against the union. Small businesses who had no skin in the game couldn't get supplies or deliver goods and were forced to close, families were bankrupted. Memories are long, the schism in the community exists to this day. - 3/12/11, 11:21 PM

Would it kill Althouse to post non-derogatory images and information about these protests?
Some of us are far, far away, so it'd be nice to have a fuller picture. Althouse has said that she feels obligated to cover this situation because it's in her backyard. And, she frequently whines about the lamestream media's bias and incompleteness.
So, why can't she lead by example? Instead, she's even more biased and intentionally incomplete than the lamestream media could hope to be.

Signs are a welcome reminder of freedom of speech, in poor taste though some of them may be. A majority of Wisconsin voters object to this new bill. The Republicans will be removed from office in the next election cycle or before that through recalls. 100,000 people came from all over the state. That, my friends, is plenty enough to change an election. Don't forget it.

Gyalwang Karmapa Supervises Rehearsal of The Cham Dances
Februrary 10, 2012 – Bodhgaya.
As the Tibetan year draws to a close, Tsurphu traditionally offers a special ritual known as Gutor. This ten-day long ritual is dedicated to the Great Protector of the Karma Kagyu, Gonpo Bernakchen, (Mahakala in Sanskrit). This year's ritual will be very special as, for the first time since the Gyalwang Karmapa came to India, the complete Tsurphu Gutor Ritual will be offered, including ritual dances, known as Cham in Tibetan, performed by monks from seven Karma Kagyu monasteries in Nepal and India: Rumtek, Ralang , Mirik, Benchen, Phodong, Old Rumtek, and Old Ralang. An audience of about one hundred devotees clustered together in the chilly shrine hall at Tergar Monastery to watch an all-day rehearsal of Read the rest of this article

"I had my first kiss on your street," said the salesman who just sold my younger son, Ted, his first new car. "We were under a big, old tree, and I can't even remember the girl's name." Turns out that our salesman grew up in our neighborhood and had gone to the same grade school as my sons. Our sales guy chuckled as he punched the calculator to give us the drive-out price. I chuckled as I wondered whether it was that kiss or the commission that was bringing this man such obvious joy.
Oh! First kiss, first car! The list goes on - the first word spoken, the first step, first grade, the first day in high school, in college and in that first job. We have all experienced many firsts.
Sometimes, we need to return to some of the first foods we've really enjoyed. Those foods are the ones that we love and sometimes crave because we remember that first taste. Sometimes, it's the comfort foods that we need from time to time when we're looking for a culinary "hug." They just make us feel better. "Have a cookie," I can hear my mom say when I was young and she wanted to offer me a fix for whatever ailed me. "Little kids, little problems," I can hear her say. I sometimes still follow her sage advice. Now, though, I say, "Just leave the cookie jar." (Just kidding!) Although food shouldn't be a panacea for life's struggles, it's nice to have a little something good to soothe a craving soul.
Generally, I do not use much shortening in my cooking. But sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. This recipe for Philadelphia German Butter Cake requires the addition of Crisco, butter and yeast, and produces a rich, buttery cake. If baked just long enough, it forms a cake bottom and a gooey center that has a light, crackly top.
The following recipe has been in my recipe box for many years. Sheer joy, pure bliss, decadent indulgence, all describe the first taste that I remember when I recall eating the butter cake that was also sold at the local baker shops that were once abundant in Northeast Philadelphia. Although a few stores still sell this cake, the following recipe is authentically Philadelphia Butter Cake.
1 package active dry yeast
½ cup warm milk
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup shortening (Crisco)
¼ tsp. salt
1 large egg
2¼ cups flour
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 cup butter (2 sticks) at room temperature
2/3 cup flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 to 5 Tbsp. milk
-Dissolve yeast in the warm milk. Cover mixture loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
-Combine the sugar, shortening and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and beat until well blended.
-Mix in the flour, then the dissolved yeast and the vanilla, beating about 1-2 minutes to incorporate.
-Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
-Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Stir together the flour and sugar, then gradually beat flour mixture into the butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Slowly beat in just enough milk to make the topping easy to spread, but not runny. Set aside.
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-Punch down dough and divide it in half. Roll or pat it into two well-greased 8" square pans or one 9" x 13" pan. Push the edges of the dough halfway up the sides of the pan and prick dough in several places with a fork to release any air bubbles. Spread topping evenly over dough. Let stand for 20 minutes.
-Bake in preheated 375-degree oven until topping is golden and crusty but still gooey, about 25-30 minutes. Do not over-bake. Let cool in pan efore cutting.
Eat well, live long, enjoy! ull;•

Instead of just 14 crossing delays in November and December, for example, the true number of delays was 1,457, according to a federal audit estimation. And using the same method of reporting both stopped and slow-moving trains-as opposed to CN's data of looking only at stopped trains-monthly delays this year show a marked increase from monthly delays last year. And those numbers are increasing.
In January, there were 1,156 crossing delays. February increased to 1,239 and March saw 1,804. That's up from a monthly average of 946 from July through December 2009.
Daily Herald Transportation Writer Marni Pyke detailed the worst areas Sunday. Intersections in Mundelein, Bartlett and West Chicago all are on the list. So are those in Naperville and Aurora. The problems are system-wide on the tracks that stretch from Waukegan to the West suburbs to Gary, Ind.
It's true, as Pyke reported, that delays were expected when the federal Surface Transportation Board allowed CN to move freight trains onto the underused tracks to help ease freight congestion in other areas. But that's also why CN was directed to help pay for noise and safety improvements and to provide monthly reports on the effects of the merger.
So to find out those reports are flawed, through an outside auditor brought in to check up on CN, is disturbing to say the least. And, at the very minimum, a five-year oversight plan should be extended by one year as has been suggested.
"It's not clear if we would ever have gotten this information if we had not been diligent," said STB member Chip Nottingham, who wants the oversight extended.
Barrington Mayor Karen Darch agrees. Barrington has been fighting the merger from the beginning and is one of 11 communities along the EJ&E that has not signed a deal with CN for the improvements. Instead, they hope the entire plan will one day be reversed.
We agree with Mundelein Village Administrator John Lobaito who said towns need to be resolving issues with CN rather than trying to overturn a decision not likely to be reversed.
And we believe CN still has much work to do to be a true partner with communities along the tracks rather than a nuisance. The oversight needs to continue for a longer period, and CN needs to work on improving its standing in the region.

You have the ability to go anywhere, be anybody, at anytime, in anyplace. All you have to do is write. And when you embrace your characters and they're situation, you really can escape from your angst-filled daughter, your wife's office politics, and untimely in-law obligations.
Writing is your zen hour, your meditation moment, your daily enlightenment. And you need this time because when you leave the world of the story, your daughter is right there with yet another life "crises", your wife wants to "talk" about work, and your father-in-law "needs" you to pick up a table and drive it to Mexico.
But back in our real world, our ability to live in the moment is suspect. Life is hard, and when we're trudging through the daily business of our lives, we often fail to see the beauty of "the now." It's a skill to live in the moment, and I would argue that when we do it well and consistently, it's art.
As writers, when we're in "the now", we're actually working. Every person we meet, every situation we're in, every moment we live are all potential material. But if we're not in "the now", we may never see it.
Your melodramatic daughter is vulnerable, needy, misunderstood – and the core of creating a great character. Understanding your wife's co-worker chaos might be the germination of a killer spec script. And you, your father-in-law, and a table to Mexico sounds like an awesome lock-in for a trip with destination scenario.
Be in the now. Embrace the moment. You never know where it might take you.

Section 3: Preconditions
51.Section 3 imposes conditions which the Minister must consider to be satisfied before he can make an order containing provision under section 1(1) or 2(1).
52.The conditions set out in subsection (2) apply (where relevant) to provision made under sections 1(1) or 2(2) which is not merely restating an enactment (as defined in subsection (5)).
53.There are six conditions set out in subsection (2).
The first condition is that there are no non-legislative solutions which will satisfactorily remedy the difficulty which the order is intended to address. An example of a non-legislative solution might be the issuing of guidance about a particular legislative regime.
The second condition is that the effect of the provision made by the order is proportionate to its policy objective. A policy objective might be able to be achieved in a number of different ways, some of which may be far more onerous than others and may be considered to be a disproportionate means of securing the desired outcome. The Minister must consider that this is not the case, and that there is an appropriate relationship between the policy aim and the means chosen to achieve it.
The third condition is that the provision made by the order, taken as a whole, strikes a fair balance between the public interest and the interests of the persons adversely affected by the order. So it will be possible to make an order which will have an adverse effect on the interests of one or more persons only if the Minister is satisfied that it will also have beneficial effects which are in the public interest. Whenever an order imposes or increases a burden for a person, it adversely affects their interests, so the Minister must take into account any new or increased burdens when considering whether or not this condition is met.
The fourth condition is that the provision made by the order does not remove any necessary protection. The notion of necessary protection can extend to economic protection, health and safety protection, and the protection of civil liberties, the environment and national heritage. Protections which would have been thought to be necessary in the past may no longer be considered necessary.
The fifth condition is that the provision made by the order will not prevent any person from continuing to exercise any right or freedom which he might reasonably expect to continue to exercise. This condition recognises that there are certain rights that it would not be appropriate to take away from people using an order, and has certain parallels with the concept of 'legitimate expectation'. Any right conferred or protected by the European Convention on Human Rights is a right which a person might reasonably expect to keep.
The sixth condition is that the provision made by the order is not constitutionally significant. This condition would allow orders to amend enactments which are considered to be constitutionally significant, but only if the amendments are not themselves constitutionally significant.
54.The Minister is also required to set out in the explanatory document which he must lay before Parliament (section 14) why he considers that these conditions are met.
55.Where provision made under section 1(1) or 2(1) is merely restating an enactment, the six conditions listed in subsection (2) do not apply. However subsections (3) and (4) have the effect that a Minister may only make provision of this type in an order if he is satisfied that the provision would make the law more accessible or more easily understood (for example, by consolidating disparate pieces of legislation or restating existing provisions in accordance with modern drafting practices).
56.The meaning of the term "to restate" is given in subsection (5). This also applies in relation to sections 4 to 7.

Trade back to mid to late 20's (24-29). If I have to try and guess to who or why I'll say its to a good team like the Packers or Bears who need an OT and want Matthews/Fisher. We receive an extra 2nd round pick in the trade. 1st round- Barret Jones, OC/OG Bama- Starts day 1 at either C or G without question. Its that simple. The guy is a beast and would do wonders on our line. 2nd Round- Kawann Short, DT/DE Purdue- Between Short, Sharrif Floyd, and Sylvester Williams I think 1 drops this far and I pick anyone of them here. I have Short because he's my personal favorite of the group. Huge guy at 6'3 315 with a giant wing span and surprising quickness. Great at getting penetration and when he doesn't he bats a lot of passes down. Has some consistency issues, but as an all around athlete I like the value here. 2nd Round- Brandon Jenkins OLB FSU- This would be a typical Jerry pick here, and I would love it. 6'3 260 with a great 1st step and an arsenal of pass rush moves. If he wasnt injured he would probably be a top 20 pick, but here he has great value as long as the injury isnt a big red flag. 3rd Round- Baccari Rambo S Georgia - Ball hawking FS. Great athlete and has a nose for the ball. Always in the picture around the ball. Has some character concerns, but from what I understand it was just the typical stupid college kid with pot. I can look past that personally. 4th Round- Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech- 2x all ACC OG who fits our zone scheme nicely. Not the biggest or strongest guy and 305, but he has good feet and great starting experience. He could challenge for a starting spot quickly I believe. 5th Round- Dennis Johnson RB Arkansas- Has been a bit overshadowed due to bigger names at Arkansas, but he has shined when he has gotten opportunities. Averaging 6 YPC in over 350 career rushes in the SEC is pretty impressive. Also, has good hands out of the backfield and was the primary kick returner for Arkansas as well. Could be a late round sleeper as a useful and versatile back. 6th Round- Joe Vellano DE Maryland- 6'2 285 guy with one of the highest motors you'll ever see. Not the biggest or most physically gifted guy but his production has been very impressive despite that. Had 94 tackles as a Jr playing DT, and now has 14 TFL and 6 sacks as a 3-4 DE in his Sr year. Would make a good rotational high motor guy on our d-line.
It depends on where we end up getting slotted. If we are around #14 then a drop to #24 could definitely net us an extra second rounder.
Two offensive lineman and a safety would fill needs weve been having for 5 years, the rest is gravy. like it
That's more or less what I figured the trade back would be. We would actually be getting a slightly worse deal by a little over 100 points according to the trade value chart.
True. That's a lot of spots to drop for acquiring a late second rounder though. Hopefully the team we trade with has another 2nd rd pick in the first half of the 2nd round if this is the case.
Nice mock if you replace Short with Williams, Floyd or an OLineman like Holmes. Players with questionable effort (motor) are immediately off my list...see MartyB. People will say that the trade chart is "outdated" or "not what teams really use", but it is a good basis for mock drafts, IMO. Here is the version that I use: http://www.walker-texas.com/draft-value-chart.pdf
Then with the 24th pick we could trade back to the 30th and get a 3rd round pick and still select in the first round. Wouldn't an extra 2 & 3 be great?
I'd rather have Dallas Thomas and Khaled Holmes where you have Jones and Uzzi slotted. Maybe Carradine over Jenkins. Getting Holmes might require some reshuffling to the third.
I don't think Holmes is a starter in the NFL. I've seen enough evidence to believe he's going to end up on his back regularly in the NFL. Want no parts of him. Dallas Thomas is nice but I think a good C will help this line more than good guard
I don't really agree with it but I feel like either Free or Parnell will be our starting RT next year. Adding 2 interior o lineman in the draft is probably about the best we can ask for.

Through the power of technology both old and new, we have a completely new track from currently incarcerated rapper Max B, felon spitter Isaiah Toothtaker, and the Hood Internet. You see, Max B, who's in jail for the next 75 years, recorded verses over the phone for his upcoming EP with Toothtaker and the Chicago production duo.
The Hood Internet then threw his and Toothtaker's vocals over a beat that uses an uncleared, albeit legit, sample from Madonna's "Live to Tell." The end result is the track "Hold On," an '80s-heavy piece that showcases just what artists can do these days with technology. You can stream the track below and buy it on LegitMix. Under the stream, you'll find the video.

In pairs skating, Gordeeva & Berezhnaya have been deservedly admired for their basic skating: edging, flow, speed and mastery of the blade. Among single skaters which female skaters have/had the best basic skating skills?
Yuka, Carolina, and Shizuka are often mentioned on here as having the best basic skating skills among the ladies. I had a rank the skating skills of these ladies thread once... Can't find it right now, but someone else might able to.
Yuka Sato -- watch the perfect alignment and positioning between her body and blades. Perfect control and positioning Carolina Kostner/Shizuka Arakawa -- magnificent edge quality and power in their stroking Others: Kiira Korpi, Laura Lepisto, Kimmie Meissner, Mao Asada, Yu-Na Kim, Yukari Nakano, Michelle Kwan, Angela Nikodinov
Early Tonya Harding . . . try to just watch her feet and ignore the jumps. It is quite impressive. Tonya Harding - 1985 U.S. Olympic Festival, Figure Skating SP . . . I love how she demonstrates a very secure edge by kicking forward and backward with her free leg while continuing to move forward on her LFO. Tonya Harding (USA) - 1986 Skate America LP . . . Of course, the deep leaning pivot . . . Of course, all these things seemed to not be quite the same after 1990.
Thanks for bringing up Adelina. Yes, she has great skating skills. Her steps were intricate and fast and showed good control with flowing edges. Try to remember the following bullets: * Whenever a Lady skater lands 7 triples all of her components rise. *If she does it on home ice they rise again. *If all of this happens on Olympic ice they receive yet another boost. So yes, Adelina should have received higher marks than Carolina as she checked off these three key requirements while Carolina only checked off two of them. The COP makes this so much easier to understand than 6.0 ever did.
Of course, and the fact that she often starts with flat to go to an edge, and rarely puts her foot on the edge is a sign of very good skating skills. Well... Anyway, this is not the debate, Adelina is far from being a ladies skaters with EXCELLENT basic skating skills. I agree with those already mentioned. My favorite is Yuka Sato.
On her steps in particular there was a clear lack of speed and flow. In comparison to most top skaters, she 'walked through' her step sequences. And her edges all around are a bit flat. Cross-overs, progressives and toe-pushing.
She grew up having to figures in competition but not actually doing them. Her mother was her coach and she: - didn't know anything about figure skating - didn't care about figures
I remember Surya competing at 1990 world jr when there was still compulsory figure. Of course, Yuka won the compulsory figure.. Surya placed 12th in compulsory figure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caaJWLvyB_s
For current skaters, I'd like to give a nod to Polina Edmunds. Watch her feet - she always steps on a clean and correct edge and moves wonderfully from step to step.
Are her skating skills really that good? Her stroking seems so choppy to me. If anything, I think Ashley Cain has some of the best edges right now.
I didn't think she ever showed up to competitions early. Do you think that was related to the demise of figures?
And don't forget--she also checked off "Skated in the Final Flight." The only one she didn't check off was "Big Reputation." Preprogrammed Component Scores. Gotta love 'em.
Edges and flow have a very different context in freeskating so I would not say that training compulsory figures necessarily equates to great skating skills.
Here are videos of two of the very best skaters at compulsories doing free skates as cases in point: Beatrix Schuba Isabel de Navarre OT, but I am shocked to be reminded that the same rink was used at the 1976 Winter Olympics for both ice hockey and figure skating.
Of course, Adelinas SS are the worst ever and there will never be anybody worse. She for sure is the new Surya Bonaly of Figure skating. You know, if youd gain more speed by toe pushing than by proper pushing with the blade, probably everybody else would do it as well. Do you guys get some free beer or anything similar for bringing in Adelina in almost every thread even if its off topic? Talking about Russian Ladies I`d like to give an honourable mention to Irina Slutskaya, loved her one foot flowing SS in her 2002 SP.
Take a look at those videos of Beatrix Schuba and Isabel de Navarre that I posted earlier. There is very little to their free skates (especially IdN's) except for jumping passes.
Schuba program is more like an imprisonedskate in the middle 2/3 of the ice. I actually like IdN's spins and jumps when she was not falling all over herself.
Amelie Lacoste has very soft knees and gathers speed with very little effort. Overall, I think the Finnish women have amazing skating skills. Poykio, Kettunen, and Lepisto have/had edges like buttah.

I don't like Valentine's Day. Glittery cards with swoopy handwriting, hokey haikus, special trips to the lingerie store for February 14th: No, thank you. Shouldn't love be celebrated, enjoyed, or suffered through every day?
While I don't think I'll ever convert to the commercial cult of Saint Valentine, I do believe in making food that induces love, or at least, infatuation. If you are a floral bouquet kind of guy or gal, this is a fitting end to the romantic candlelit meal you've elaborately planned, but if you're not, these can make a declaration of love year-round: the cupcakes delicately exhale rosewater, their cores beat with red raspberry hearts, and their gently iced tops lie demurely under sugar-dusted satiny petals.
It's a funny thing, love...it's so very similar to hunger: visceral, gnawing, gut-wrenching—like the most acute of hunger pangs. The craving, the desire, the search for something that will satiate. Love and hunger consume, madden, and hold the senses hostage.

Florida election supervisors, at their annual convention in Tampa this week, find themselves focusing once again on a familiar and troubling issue: the accuracy and reliability of the state voter registration database.
It's not a problem of their making, and that only adds to their frustration.
As the elections officials convene, they are simultaneously seeking to verify the legal status of about 2,700 voters who were red-flagged by the state motor vehicle agency as non-U.S. citizens and thus ineligible to vote. Problem is, some people on that can legally vote.
One of the people on the list is Manoly Castro-Williamson, 48, of Wesley Chapel, a U.S. citizen and a registered Republican who has voted in every election in Florida since 2004. She was one of 13 potential non-citizen voters forwarded to Pasco County by state elections officials.
Pasco Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley said he finds it troubling that Castro-Williamson, known as a "super voter" for her commitment to casting a ballot, now is being forced to prove her citizenship status just four months after voting in the Republican presidential preference primary.
Corley said she did, by faxing his office a copy of her Ohio birth certificate. But that was after she got an ominous-sounding letter from Corley that said: "You may be in violation of Florida Statutes by being a registered voter in the state of Florida," and telling her she was entitled to a hearing to challenge an adverse decision.

Hello, I'm using memcached + srcache. I need to modify the $args and take it as the cache key.

Below is a minimal example that demonstrates this: location = /t { rewrite_by_lua ' local args = ngx.req.get_uri_args() args.SID = nil args.UID = nil ngx.req.set_uri_args(args) '; echo $args; } Here we use the "echo" directive from the ngx_echo module to dump out the final value of $args in the end. You can replace it with your ngx_srcache configurations and upstream configurations instead for your case. Let's test this /t interface with curl: $ curl 'localhost:8081/t?RT=62&SID=BC3781C3-2E02-4A11-89CF-34E5CFE8B0EF&UID=44332&L=EN&M=1&H=1&UNC=0&SRC=LK' M=1&UNC=0&RT=62&H=1&L=EN&SRC=LK Please see the related parts of the ngx_lua documentation for more details: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.get_uri_args http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_uri_args It's worth mentioning that, if you want to retain the order of the URI arguments, then you can do string substitutions on the value of $args directly, for example, location = /t { rewrite_by_lua ' local args = ngx.var.args newargs, n, err = ngx.re.gsub(args, [[\b[SU]ID=[^&]*&?]], "", "jo") if n and n > 0 then ngx.var.args = newargs end '; echo $args; } Now test it with the original curl command again, we get exactly what you expected: RT=62&L=EN&M=1&H=1&UNC=0&SRC=LK But for caching purposes, it's good to normalize the URI argument order so that you can increase the cache hit rate. And the hash table entry order used by LuaJIT or Lua can be used to normalize the order as a nice side effect :) Best regards, -agentzh

Bayern Munich clinches fifth Champions League title over Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich overcame the heartbreak of losing two finals in three seasons by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in a memorable all-German Champions League final on Saturday to become European champions for the fifth time.
Bayern Munich: road to the final
Group F: First place - four wins, one draw, one loss
Round of 16: Arsenal 1-3 Bayern
Bayern 0-2 Arsenal (3-3 away goals win)
Quarter-final: Bayern 2-0 Juventus
Juventus 0-2 Bayern (4-0 aggregate win)
Semi-final: Bayern 4-0 Barcelona
Barcelona 0-3 Bayern (7-0 aggregate win)
Goals from Croatian Mario Mandzukic after 60 minutes and Dutchman Arjen Robben, with a stunning 89th-minute solo strike, settled a superb final after Dortmund had levelled with a 68th-minute penalty from Ilkay Gundogan.
The victory kept alive Bayern's hopes of a treble as it has already won the German league title and faces VfB Stuttgart in the Cup final in Berlin next Saturday.
"It's a final, we were at the same level, we both had our chances," Robben told ZDF German TV.
"I was able to push the ball through at the end. It means a lot to me.
"It's still hard to fathom. I'll be able to put it in words later. There are so many emotions right now, it's incredible.
It's still hard to fathom. I'll be able to put it in words later. There are so many emotions right now, it's incredible.
Bayern midfielder Arjen Robben
"So many people told me I'd score a goal tonight. the first few chances I missed. I got another chance at the end and took advantage of it."
The match, played at a ferocious pace, was full of superb attacking football and seemed destined for extra time until Robben burst through a gap in the defence and rounded outstanding Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller to score.
Bayern wins in high-tempo encounter
Dortmund began at blistering pace which it maintained for almost 30 minutes with Marco Reus and Robert Lewandowski pulverising the Bayern defence.
Lewandowski had the first of his side's seven first-half scoring chances, powering in a 30-metre shot which goalkeeper Manuel Neuer turned over the bar for a corner.
Neuer also made a superb stop when he stuck out his left leg to prevent Jakub Blaszczykowski scoring from close range after he was set up by Lewandowski.
Bayern was virtually over-run at the start but battled back to create five good scoring chances of its own - three falling to Robben who could well have netted a hat-trick by half-time.
A poor touch scuppered the first when he had only Weidenfeller to beat, and the goalkeeper stopped him again by taking a shot straight in the face when Robben had the goal gaping just before the break.
Weidenfeller also stopped a powerful goalbound header from Mandzukic after 26 minutes, tipping his powerful effort on to the bar and over.
Both teams maintained the high tempo until the half-time break and the only surprise was that neither made the breakthrough after 45 breathtaking minutes of superb football.
The game continued to be end-to-end for most of the second half, but Bayern gradually took control as Dortmund faded.
The nature of the first two goals also reflected the see-saw game with Dortmund equalising just eight minutes after Bayern scored.
Robben was at the heart of that opening goal, providing the final cross for Mandzukic to sweep home with his left foot from close range but the lead only lasted eight minutes before Dante's rash challenge on Reus gave Dortmund the penalty from which Guendogan scored.
In the end, the balance swung Bayern's way with Robben's stunning solo goal making Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes only the fourth man to win the European Cup with two clubs after leading Real Madrid to victory in 1998.
Bayern Munich: 2 (M Mandzukic 60', A Robben 89')
Borussia Dortmund: 1 (I Gundogan 67' pen)

A woman in her sixties was taken to hospital after driving her car through a fence and into a house in Waihi yesterday afternoon.
The woman was believed to be driving home from Cooks Beach in the Coromandel, Waihi Chief Fire Officer Moe Stevens said.
"We assume she went to sleep and veered off the road and went through a fence and into an older house that was being done up."
No one was at the property when the car smashed into it, however the house sustained "quite a bit of damage", Mr Stevens said.
"A little porch on the front of the house has been completely demolished."
Mr Stevens said the female driver was injured in the accident and was taken to Thames Hospital by a St John ambulance crew.
A neighbour said she was at a funeral and didn't see the accident, but she saw the damaged house when she arrived home.
"My father-in-law lived there and he's not long moved out. Thank goodness he wasn't there because it's crashed right into his bedroom."
The neighbour said the house had been recently sold to a local builder who was doing the house up with the intention of moving in with his young family.

Posted Fri 2nd of March 2007
A bet lost, payment in full.
I'm on my way to pay a bet. You and I were playing cards last night. And we bet that the loser had to flash as many people of the opposite sex at the Large Dog, dog show the next day. I lost.
At the LD dog show, there seemed to be more men there than women. As I wander around the show with you at my side I am already getting lingering looks, my thin backless sundress doing nothing to hide my curves or the unfettered state of my breasts. My heels only actuating the bareness of my legs, and lower thighs. My red hair was brushing against the top of my buttocks…as I walked.
We end up in a pavilion, almost a dog house really. It had a low canopy and 15 stalls. Each stall held a dog, some were German Shepherds, others were Rotwielers, and there were a couple of Labradors. And every single one was male. Also in the pavilion there was a raised area where the dogs are shown and judged.
Each of the dog's owners is in the pavilion mingling and chatting. You leave me standing next to the raised stage area, while you go and mingle, with every stop you make glances are thrown my way and the men start grinning…a few leave and come back with a friend or 2. By the time you get back to me, someone is closing and locking the pavilion up…there are 25 men inside it.
You lead me over to a curtained off area I hadn't noticed when I walked in, you told me to strip and hand you my clothes. I give you my dress but you let me keep my heels on. You then slip a collar around my neck…and I start to ask you what the hell is going on. You just look at me and say…you're paying your bet.
You clip a leash onto the collar. A friend of yours appears next to you and you hand over the digital video camera you brought with you. He steps back, turns it on and pans around the pavilion before coming to rest on me. He pans the camera up and down my body…zooming in on my breasts…capturing my nipples hardening, then zooming in on to my shaved pussy, you holding my lips open so he can get a good look at the juices being produced. You turn me around and bend me over…he zooms in on my ass as your spread the cheeks and push a finger into my ass.
He walks into the crowd…you lead me out on to the raised area the camera trained on me most of the time…the others getting the reaction from the crowd of men. You tell everyone that I had lost a bet last night and this is how I was paying it back.
You lean down…pulling the lead after you…and attach it to an eye in the stage…this had the effect of bring me to my hands and knees. You start by slipping out of your clothes…and fucking my mouth.
Your hands tangling into my hair…pulling my head back and forth as you pump your hips…you press right down into my throat and cum shooting it straight into my stomach. You step back and stoop down…pulling out a cat o' nine tails.
You lay that on the floor in front of me…you also lay out a riding crop, a cane, a wide leather belt, a paddle, and a wooden spoon. You step behind me and bring your hand down on my ass…SMACK….SMACK…SMACK.
You ask the assembled crowd who wants to spank my bitch…before we fuck her. Several hands go up as well as several voices. You pick out 10 men and get them to come up on stage. You hand out the implements…then the remaining four using their hands.
You line them up, You tell them they only have 5 hits…and that my breasts are also targets…but they will be targets for the men holding the cane and the wooden spoon. The man with the riding crop can have my pussy as a target but not to hit too hard.
The man with the paddle steps up first…he swings…the paddle lands with a hard thump and I scream. He swings again and again covering my ass in the 5 strokes. The next man can feel my ass turning red…and the heat as he uses his hand. They step up one by one till only 3 are left. One with the riding crop, one with the cane and the other with the wooden spoon.
You undo the lead from the stage and pull me up till my ass is resting on my heels….it hurts so I kneel up higher. You grin but say nothing. You nod to the man holding the wooden spoon. He steps up in front of me, he swings his hand down and SMACK my left breast right over my nipple. I let out a strangled scream, and then SMACK he hits the right one over the nipple…tears are running down my face.
He raises his arm again and brings it down on the top of my right breast and then again on my left. His last he directly between my breasts. I look down and my breasts have turned pink. The man with the cane steps up and brings it down hard across the top of my breasts…I howl. He then brings it down again across my nipples…tears are pouring down my cheeks.
You pinch my nipples between your fingers…I whimper…but my whimpers turn to moans of pain as you lift my breasts up by the sore swollen nipples. He brings the cane down on the undersides of my breast…causing me to scream. He slashes the cane across my nipples again quickly and then again same spot.
You press my shoulders forward getting my to lie my hot sore breasts on the floor after the camera gets a close up of the welts forming. You tell me to lift my ass up in the air and I do so…you spread my legs as wide as you can.
You bring your hand down on my ass a few times SMACK…SMACK…SMACK. The man with the riding crop steps up and hits the inside of my left thigh…I whimper…then against my right inside thigh. He runs it along between my lips coating it in my juices… He then slaps it against my lips one strike either side of my slit.
I'm moaning and whimpering…but with every sound I make you slap my ass with your hand…adding to the swollen sore heat of it…increasing the glowing redness. You tell me to reach down between my legs and pull open my pussy lips nice and wide.
I do as you say…exposing my clit to the air…and then pain explodes in my groin as he flicks the riding crop hard against my clit. Even as the pain hits me…I start to shiver and shake and then scream as I explode into orgasmic bliss.
You start grouping the men into 3's…smallest penis sizes to the largest. As I was coming down from my cum…I was picked up and impaled on a cock…it wasn't very long about 5 inches I'd say and very thin. Another cock…pressed its way into my mouth…It didn't even reach my throat…and the last cock was shoved in to my ass.
These 3 cocks pumped in and out of their respective holes…the one in my mouth cumming first…shooting streams of cum down my throat not pulling out till I'd swallowed it all. The guy in my ass shot his cum next by the pulled out and shot it all over my ass and back.
The one in my pussy just pumped his cum into me before pulling out…the camera came in for a close up of his cum leaking out of my pussy. The next group stepped up and shoved their cocks into me. Again and again...till all 8 groups have fucked and cum in or on me. You step up and shove you cock into my mouth…fucking it hard. Shoving your cock down my throat.
You start cumming…shooting it in my mouth and on my face. You then tie the leash back to the floor. I'm tired after cumming with every second cock. You look down at me and get a small malicious smile on your face.
You give a signal and the dogs are released. They run up and their cold noses are all over me. I start to scream. You just laugh and tell me to shut up and enjoy. All of a sudden a long rough tongue starts working its way into my cunt.
It laps away making me shake and scream. Then a dog mounts me…shoving his cock into my mouth…fucking it hard and fast as only a dog can do. Another dog mounts up and starts fucking my cunt…pumping hard…his belly rubbing against my sore ass.
Each dog fucking my cunt…presses his knot in me before cumming. The dog's cumming in my mouth…having swallow in case I drowned in dog cum. My pussy sore and red…any touch now setting off flickers of pain. Once all 15 of the dogs had, had their turn…they pissed on me…covering me in the piss and cum.
You motion up some of the men…and you all fuck me again cumming all over me…I'm moaning and crying in pain and arousal. All the men cumming on me and in me.
Covering me with it. Then you all stand around me and piss on me and in me…filling my ass and pussy with piss…the camera capturing all of it…the piss pouring down my legs. My swollen red ass. My sore swollen pussy lips. My welted tits. My cum and piss covered body.
You make me stand up and you put all my clothes and your toys back into your bag. The pavilion is unlocked. You take your camera and put it back into its case. You then grab the leash and lead me out to your car…you open the trunk and motion me inside. Telling me to get in the trunk. I climb in puzzled.
You close the trunk…and get in the car. You drive what seems like hours to me. When the car stops you open the trunk and pull me out. You hose and dry me off before tugging me into the building by the leash.
Inside there are a group of men. You hand them the camera…telling them to watch whats on it. They go into another room and do. You amuse yourself buy sticking things you find in the room in to my cunt and ass. When the men walk back in you have stuck a can into my ass, a bottle in my cunt and your cock down my throat.
The men chuckle when they see this. And say she will do nicely. The hand you a case…which you open…I can see money inside it. I wonder whats going on. You explain to me that from now on I don't exist outside of this establishment. That I'm going to be the kinkiest whore there ever was. You had the leash over to the ringleader and leave. I cry out after you to take me home and not to leave me here but you ignore me and then my cries are shut off as a cock is shoved down my throat. You look back over your shoulder, and watch as the door slowly swings shut.
I never saw you again…but every night I entertain the men who come to this building with any perversity they can name and pay for.

The downfall of popcorn like so many other snack foods that start out healthy is the addition of too much fat and salt. I love these 100 calorie natural popcorn packs made by Newman's Own.
For starters they are portion controlled – 1 bag is just 100 calories with 2 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. They are lightly salted which is nice and the fat is kept below 3 grams (1 gram of which is saturated). I wish there wasn't palm oil in the ingredients and rather a vegetable or canola oil but it's a minimal contribution to the overall diet and this is as good as it gets with microwave options. You can never go better than the old airpopper or kernels in the pan on the stove but if you need something quicker and easier try these out next time you go shopping!

There were quite possibly more members than the ones on screen. Particularly, as Kira and Lupaza are the only female members mentioned, and Ducat's remark about Shakaar's charm would seemingly imply there were a bunch of them. Course, there's no proof either way. But "The Darkness and the Light" did not say Silarin killed them all; he only targeted the members directly involved with the bomb that disfigured him. 220.127.116.11 02:37, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Abstract?A variable-threshold net is a network of variable-threshold threshold elements in which the threshold of all elements is a common variable parameter. Synthesis of such nets to realize a given set of functions not realizable by a single element is discussed. An application to realizing sequential machines is described. The problem of prevention of malfunction due to component drift is formalized and solved.
Index terms?Threshold logic, threshold logic networks, variable-threshold elements, variable-threshold nets.
