A pretty little carryall of white straw. It has a decorative panel on the front with flowers made from pastel colored ?plastic sea shells. There are faux pearls and gold cord. It is in good condition. It was loveingly carried by it's owner and has a few flaws. There is a pic where I tried to show something on the bag above the front panel. I do not know what it is and was unable to get it off. It is a lot like old glue. Other than a few places where it has a minor scuff, that is it. It measures aprox. 10 1/2"X4 3/4"X14" high.

This is my first javascript program. I've been studying for a few days and thought I'd put it into practice.
The problem is I'm trying to grab 2 numbers and multiply them. This will be a program to calculate percentage of something. I'm testing if two numbers can be multiplied and the output inserted into a span tag with id="total". When I hit calculate, it prints the total in span tag but quickly refreshes with default value over the total value.
<form method="get" action=""> <fieldset> <legend>Find Percentage of a Number</legend>

 Base: <input type="text" id="base" />

 Percent: <input type="text" id="percent" />

Total?

 <input type="submit" id="submit" value="Caculate?" onclick="mainInit()" />

 </fieldset>  </form>
Hey there,
What's happening here is that your JavaScript code runs and executes correctly, but as soon as it does the <form> is submitted because you used <input type="submit">.
If you want to stop this from happening you can use an <input type="button">
I'll also remark that your mainInit()'s if statement probably doesn't need to be there. It's pretty safe to assume that document.getElementById() is available (unless you live in 1994 )
It is however a good idea to test for features that are not available in all browsers, for example if your code made use of document.querySelectorAll() it would be a good idea to perform a test and run alternate code.
Thanks. And it didn't have anything to do with javascript. I was looking over and over in the wrong place.

Metro Theater
2055 Union Street,
San Francisco,
15 people favorited this theater
The Metro Theater opened as the Metropolitan Theater on April 23, 1924 with "The Fighting Coward", a second-run attraction. It was built by Samuel H. Levin, and, from the beginning, was a key link in his San Francisco Theatres Inc. chain, which originally consisted of the Alexandria, Coliseum, Metro, Harding, Balboa and Vogue (in 1949, the Coronet was added to the group.)
In 1941, the Metropolitan Theater was extensively remodelled, both inside and out, and it re-opened on June 7, 1941, its name now shortened to Metro Theater.
In the mid-1950's the Metro Theater was home to the just emerging San Francisco Film Festival, and eventually upgraded to a first run venue, with bookings usually carefully chosen so as to maintain its image as one of quality and prestige, and far better maintained than most of its siblings elsewhere in San Francisco.
The Metro Theater continued to operate as a single screen theater until its closure in October 2006. In June 2009, the developer extended a commitment to preserve some of the historic features inside, including a series of murals by interior designer Anthony Heinsbergen, Ioinic columns, grilles and urns on the stage.

The SF Landmarks Board will consider landmark status for the Metro Theater next Wed., Feb. 6 at 12:30 pm in Room 400, City Hall. See www.sfntf.org for more info or email Alfonso Felder at … the Metro item is #14 of a 14-item agenda so it will be later in the afternoon . .

I managed the UA Metro around 1990. Of all the theatres I ran for UA in San Francisco, it was my favorite. Such a beautiful building, mostly unchanged from it's opening state. Huge Lalique-style murals on the walls. a Todd-AO projector with 70mm capability and very decent sound. Among the movies that screened there during my tenure: • MEMPHIS BELLE in 70mm • BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES in 70mm • NOTHING BUT TROUBLE with Chevy Chase (total bomb. averaged 8 admissions per day. got a lot of gum scraped off the seats that fortnight) • PARIS IS BURNING (a documentary about transvestite "balls" in New York. The SF Chronicle reviewer said up front that it had no business playing at the Metro, and should have opened at the Castro. With seven shows a day and sellouts every night, I totally cleaned up.) • PRESUMED INNOCENT
Here is a quote from the Landmark Designation Report for the Metro Theatre, regarding the involvement of architect Otto A. Deichmann in the 1941 remodeling of the house, and his professional relationship with Timothy Pflueger:
"While architect Timothy L. Pflueger (1892-1946) has long been associated with the 1941 renovation of the Metro Theatre, his involvement is less clear than that of architect Otto A. Deichmann (1890-1964). A city permit, dated 1941, for interior work and plumbing lists the name of the architect as Otto Deichmann, 321 Bush Street. Historical consultants involved with the 1998 renovation of the theatre believe that Deichmann worked with Timothy Pflueger during the renovation. Research has not confirmed that Deichmann worked in the offices of Pflueger's firm, Miller and Pflueger, but the two men were associates and overlapped on important projects, most notably the Golden Gate International Exposition, 1939-1940, where Deichmann designed the Shasta-Cascade Building. The well-known mural by Diego Rivera, Pan American Unity, now located at the main campus of City College of San Francisco, was commissioned for the Golden Gate International Exposition. The mural depicts both Pflueger and Deichmann. Pflueger, friend and patron of Rivera, collaborated with him on the mural."Click this link to download a PDF file of the Landmark Designation Report. It has a fairly extensive history of the theater.

The facade of the Metro is essentially finished. It, and the marquee and vertical are repainted in two shades of taupe, and all the neon is back in place. Construction still continues inside. The 1920s ticket lobby ceiling in the entrance has either been preserved or carefully replicated. Through the new entry doors, one can see that the central one-third of the stenciled lobby ceiling has been faithfully replicated.

The Holiday Formerly Known as Halloween
By David Nelson
CLAL: the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, 2000
Although Halloween is not supported by many Rabbis, a myriad of Jewish children just can't resist the festivities of the holiday taking place around them. Taking this into account, the author recalls how a number of Jewish customs, such as the spinning of the dreidel on Chanukah, are borrowed from other cultures and are given meaning in a Jewish context. Why not, he asks, take the festivities of Halloween, such as dressing up and going trick-or-treating, and give them some Jewish meaning? The result would be a holiday called Chag Or Habayit (the light of home), with of course, a celebratory Ya'akov (Jacob) lantern.

Divers, engineers and a small flotilla of specialised salvage vessels are working round the clock to prevent the wreckage of the Costa Concordia liner languishing for a second full winter off the coast of the idyllic Tuscan island of Giglio.
[Click on the image above or HERE to launch the gallery]
It is nearly18 months since Captain Francesco Schettino deviated from the prescribed route to pass close to shore. The cruise ship hit a rock and eventually made a U-turn and headed back to the island's port, capsizing precariously on a sea shelf just outside the harbour.
Of the 4,252 who set sail from Civitavecchia on 13 January 2012, a total of 32 lives were lost and two remain unaccounted for.
Fears of an ecological disaster on the environmentally sensitive coast thankfully came to nothing; the oil and sewage were pumped clear in the first months after the tragedy.
Captain Schettino, who left the ship before all the crew and passengers had been taken ashore, is to be tried for multiple manslaughter, abandoning ship and other charges.
Islanders who were widely praised for helping the rescue and for their response to the disaster have erected a memorial to the victims on the harbour wall and are now looking forward to a return to normality.
It is expected that a lift will be started in August or September before the wreck is floated away to be cut up for scrap on the mainland.

Nothing delights a Dewey editor more than a snippet of Dewey in the midst of leisure reading. We've suffered nearly a year-long drought of Dewey teasers--imagine then my delight last night just before drifting off to sleep to encounter the following passage in a novel I'm reading:
Reshelving books, he began to notice plays. Toward the end of Dewey Decimal 822, Walter became acquainted with a two-foot stretch of small blue clothbound books with gilt titles on the spines. The plays of Shakespeare. Dewey teaser rules are here, and teasers of the past can be found in the Dewey blog category, DDC in arts and culture. The first person to identify the source wins a citation in the Dewey Hall of Fame. Extra points are awarded for citing the WorldCat.org entry!

Apple's iPad Mini media event has gone by and one thing most of us are definitely surprised about is the next generation iPad. The iPad 4. If you are confused on what I'am talking about, well folks Apple unveiled the next generation iPad. Here are the details on Apple's iPad 4.
Apple's iPad 4
Most of us were expecting Apple's main focus would be on the iPad Mini, not on another next generation iPad. Although the focus was on the iPad mini but some of us were shocked when SVP Phil Schiller was on stage and announced iPad 4. Yes, that is the next generation iPad, which certainly is an upgrade from the iPad 3 but an upgrade worth spending money on? Well you be the judge on that.
iPad 4 Specifications
As most of us did not predict another iPad on the way but some of us were expecting a slightly modified iPad 3, which might fits this category. Apple's iPad 4 is a moderate upgrade from the current (maybe not?) new iPad or the iPad 3.
iPad 4 packs in the new and more powerful A6X processor which according to Apple is twice as fast as the iPad 3. It also delivers twice the graphics performance compared to the previous model without scarifying the battery life. It offers the same battery life that is the standard Apple-y 10 hours.
iPad 4 also features an HD 720p front facing camera, which will surely be a welcome to those of you who really needed a better front facing camera compared to the VGA of the iPad 3.
Apple iPad 4 Price & Availability
So you have decided to buy an iPad 4 and now wondering when you can get your hands on this new shiny product from Apple. Well folks, iPad 4 pre-orders will start this coming Friday the 26 October. So get your wallets ready by that time.
The price of the iPad 4 (Wi-Fi) is $499, $599, $699 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models respectively. The 4G LTE iPad 4 will cost you another $130 on top of the Wi-Fi model ones.
So are you going to buy the unexpected iPad 4? Well those of you who have never bought an iPad or currently own an iPad 2 should definitely get this but those of you who have recently got the iPad 3, it is not worth the upgrade, but again this all depends on you.

Oh, please, more Hobbes & Bacon! You've got a totally untapped market of Calvin & Hobbes fans out there. A reboot would be so, so sweet. Think of it as a tribute to Bill Watterson.

I adore this – please do more! I so miss Calvin and Hobbes and this is a genius and touching way to re-enter things without "undoing" or "redoing" what came before… I know others feel the same way – would LOVE to see more!
My little girl plays Xbox 360!?
I demand more of these comics. Calvin & Hobbes are legendary and this is the best thing that could ever pay homage to them. Keep it up or we RIOT! … Or just play some Calvin Ball. Either way, BE WARNED!!!!!
Wow you have started something of EPIC proportions! Can not wait for more!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I love these very greatly. Calvin and Hobbs was my favorite strip growing up, and these make me remember the original fondly. :}
Thank you so much for bringing them back!

TY very much for doing this, just 2 strips but it was enough to touch my heart.

Who the fuck names their child "Bacon"?
These are so awesome. They really feel like C&H comics!
And do the person above me, obviously people who have regular conversations like that would name their child Bacon!
not 'that' Bacon.
Philosopher and writer. from the late 16th century. best known for developing the concept of Empiricism and the scientific method.same as Calvin being named after;
Theologian and Philosopher, early 16th century. best known for defining the concept of Predestination.and Hobbes being named after;
Poltical thinker and Philosopher, late 16th century. was the guy who defined the ideas of individual rights, equality, and consent of the people in government. -
Mithril: You're mostly right, I had the idea for naming her bacon partly because it's a nickname I use for my niece, and partly because it would nicely fit in with the canon of Calvin & Hobbes.
But yes, she's named after Francis Bacon -
Good job, I love new Clavin and habber strip……good job again.
I'd be curious to read or hear what Mr. Watterson thinks of this.
plz continue Hobbs & bacon !!!!pleeese!!!!!
I personally liked how Susie grew to be more like Calvin, instead of the other way around.
What is the boy and girl name?
what do u say?
My grandmother introduced me to the C&H comic strip when I was a kid (probably around young Calvin's age). Grandma and I were extremely close; she's been dead 15 years now. When I saw this, I couldn't help but well up a little bit now that I'm older Calvin's age.
It's really a joy to revisit these characters; it takes me back to a place I never thought I'd get to see again. In a way, it's like getting to spend just a couple more minutes with my Grandma.
Hmmm, yup no hesitation Google namely finest for blogging but nowadays word click is too fine as a blogging for its Search engine optimization is pleasant defined already.

New Machine, Same Tooling
B.C. fabricator places importance on punching tooling from day one
In planning the recent expansion,it was important to the company that it be able to continue using its large pre-existing inventory of punching tooling.
Expanding by adding new automated systems while upgrading worker skills continues to attract and satisfy a growing portfolio of satisfied customers for Metalcraft Technology, Coquitlam, B.C. Despite uncertainty in the manufacturing industry, Metalcraft continues to broaden its fabrication offerings around its core business of metal punching.
"Being a full-service fabricator is extremely important to the future of Metalcraft Technology," explained Feroz Abdulla, customer support/ lean manager. "That is why in the last year we invested millions of dollars in expanded facilities and equipment, including a new automated laser/ punch combo, more Mate Ultra- TEC® tooling, a new press brake, an automated power wash system, and powder coat painting. We've added 15,000 sq. ft. to our plant, hired more workers, and continually train all of our workers with new software and processes for more complex fabricating projects."
The company's goal with this expansion was not only to attract more Canadian customers, but to increase projects from U.S.-based customers too. Achieving this goal required state-of-the-art punching and downstream processes for finished parts. The expansion is paying off, according to Abdulla.
"We have added significant business from the Seattle area and the western U.S. with new customers in telecom and electronics. We've developed more business in western Canada, including nice work coming in from the oil and gas industry," said Abdulla.
Punch Tooling Addresses Needs
Founded in 1997 by Azim Abdulla, Metalcraft Technology now is in the hands of second-generation sons Reh, general manager, and Feroz. According to Feroz, "We've experienced 20 percent growth this year and expanded our floor space from 25,000 to 40,000 sq. ft. We now employ 40 full-time workers, up from 15 a few years ago, and operate two shifts. This growth really expands the use of Mate tooling since every customer's part project requires punching."
In planning the recent expansion, it was important to the company that it be able to continue using its large pre-existing inventory of punching tooling.
"Over time it's a big investment, costing more than a new machine," said Abdulla.
Success in business most often starts with personal relationships among highly competent people, and it is a belief on which Metalcraft Technology built its success. One of the first acquisitions founder Azim Abdulla made was UltraTEC tooling from Mate.
"From the start we wanted to be able to operate our Amada presses at top speed—400 hits a minute depending on material and thickness —with the assurance that the tooling would perform well, delivering top quality. It's done that and more," said Abdulla. "Now, the transition of [our] tooling into our new Amada punch/laser combo has gone well, including its use in the automatic tool loading system."
Expanding Product Mix
"The opportunities for growth required fabricating complex geometries, not just edges and holes, but irregular shapes, sweeping contours, enclosures, and other components of near-impossible configurations with everything from knockouts and tabs to thread forms and card guides, to name just a few," said Abdulla. "A large majority of our new work not only has these complex punched and laser-cut features, they are meticulously cleaned and powder coatpainted so when assembled into a finished product, they are ready for the marketplace. In a short time we have become a one-stop fabricator."
The company's decision to expand into laser cutting was a good one with the acquisition of its new Amada EML 3610 NT punch/laser combination. It combines servo-electric motor punching technology with a hybrid laser motion system. It features a standard 58-station King turret, which includes two 4½-in. and two 11⁄4-in. autoindexing stations.This additional tool autoindexing capacity is important to Metalcraft's projects because it allows for a wider variety of special form tools to punch part features such as louvers, knockouts, and card guides.
The punch/laser combo is equipped with an automated load/unload system and a single-part picking machine. To maximize machine utilization, the punch/ laser also is equipped with a PDC automated tool changer (ATC). The system provides fully automated production of complex parts, including nested sheets with a large variety of components, while eliminating manual tool changes.
With Metalcraft Technology's widely varying part runs, the transition from one type of material and thickness to another can get complicated and timeconsuming. The autoindexing stations with Multi Tools loaded with tooling helps shorten the tool setup process for job changeovers.
While the bulk of the tools in the turret are standard and do not change, the Multi Tools are loaded with the UltraTEC special application tools to form the features.
"Die penetration and length adjustment with UltraTEC tools is really fast," said Abdulla. "The tools pop apart with just a touch of a button and go back together just as fast. They are easy to adjust and assemble visually. The punch, guide, and other components are easily disassembled by hand and lock up correctly and quickly. With UltraTEC, our operators set tool length in just 5 seconds, no shimming needed. The push-button design allows for fast and easy setting of overall length and die penetration in precise increments (0.006 in. for a ½-in. A station tools and 0.008 in. for larger station tools) without the need for measuring tools."
Metalcraft Technology reports that 75 percent of its originally purchased tooling from 18 years ago is still in everyday use, even when punching difficult materials such as stainless steel. One of the reasons for this longevity is the tool steel, which when combined with heat treating, results in punches with superior compressive strength and high wear resistance.
"The tooling platform my dad started and grew with have helped make Metalcraft Technology what we are today. Our fully integrated and precise punching, laser cutting, and bending have resulted in a 30 percent increase in productivity. That certainly is something we are proud of." said Abdulla.

How ROTC Fits Me...
The most important focus for our Cadets is their education. Unlike the service academies, Cadets in Army ROTC do not have highly regimented schedules. ROTC Cadets attend classes for their chosen major just like the rest of the student body. In addition to their major course work, Cadets will take one ROTC academic class each semester. ROTC training should not interfere with any of the course work that needs to be completed for other academic classes. Students and Soldiers that are interested in the Army ROTC program are encouraged contact the enrollment officer, Mr. Wil Massidas, at (516) 463-7682 or via email in order to learn more about the program.
High School Students
High School Students interested in money for school should fill out an Army ROTC application to compete for a 3 or 4 year ROTC scholarship.
On-line High School Scholarship Application
Once students arrive on campus they will take the Foundations of Officership (MS 1C) and Leadership Laboratory (MS 1D). This will introduce students to the Army ROTC Program and the basics of being an Army officer.
College Students
The recommended track for completing the ROTC commissioning program is to begin the first semester of the freshman year. However, there are several ways to condense the time frame for students that have less than four years remaining until graduation, including enlisting in the Army National Guard or Reserves, or attending the Leader's Training Course.
Prior Service Soldiers
The Army ROTC program is an excellent way for prior service soldiers to take the next step in their military career. Soldiers that have served in the enlisted ranks prior to joining the program find that their enlisted experience provides an excellent base to the leadership training they receive in ROTC.
Soldiers that have already completed Army Basic Training are only required to complete the last two years of the four year Army ROTC commissioning program. However, we encourage students to participate in the program as early as possible. It is also important to contact the ROTC enrollment officer well in advance of joining program to allow time for application and medical processing.
Guard and Reserve Members
Army National Guard and Reserve members often find that Army ROTC is a great way to further their army careers. Students attend all of their classes for their major, to include one Army ROTC course, while continuing to drill with their units. Once students are contracted with ROTC, they will then become part of the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). As a member of the SMP, soldiers will drill as a cadet in their unit and shadow an officer. The SMP program is designed to give cadets the opportunity to have some hands on leadership experiences while progressing through the ROTC program.
Nursing Students
The Army, like the civilian community, needs highly qualified nurses. Students that plan to receive a Bachelor's in Nursing are encouraged to consider the outstanding opportunities available to Army Nurses. The Army ROTC program will teach you to be a strong leader while preparing you to accept a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army.
Once on you are on active duty, you will quickly be put in positions of responsibility. You will also receive specialty training after the first year in one of the following areas: Critical Care Nursing, Community Health Nurse, Emergency Nurse, OB/GYN Nursing, Preoperative Nursing, and Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing.
Nurses that choose to remain in the military as a career are also eligible to apply for a fully funded Masters program in one of the following areas: Anesthesia Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner, Health Care Nursing, Nursing Administration, and more.
Interested students should contact the Army ROTC to learn more about Army Nursing opportunities and nursing scholarships. To find out more, you can also visit the Army ROTC Nursing Web Site: Army ROTC Nursing.

New 3M LED Advanced Light Bulb Delivers Energy Efficiency Without Compromise
ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M, a leader in light management technologies, introduced its first venture into the home light bulb category today with new 3M LED Advanced Light that delivers uniform distribution of pure light. This innovation comes at a time when Americans are seeing the phase out of incandescent bulbs that emit the quality of light they know and love.
For the first time, Americans will need to think about the purchase of a light bulb given the array of options filling the aisles. According to a recent survey of Americans1, the top consideration factors for purchasing a new light bulb are energy efficiency (67%), cost effectiveness (65%) and brightness of light (65%). In fact, 47% of Americans consider the overall quality of light when making a light bulb purchase.
"All light bulbs are not created equal," said Ray Johnston, scientist for the 3M Display and Graphic Business Lab. "3M LED Advanced Light delivers on energy efficiency, cost savings and quality of light, all in a beautiful and familiar shape."
3M LED Advanced Light has a lifespan of 25 years2 and an estimated energy cost of $1.63 per year. However, its shape and light quality are inspired by the iconic incandescent bulb so Americans won't have to compromise when making the switch.
Proprietary light guide technology permits 3M LED Advanced Light to imitate the light distribution of an incandescent bulb. A combination of the light guide, multilayered optical film, optical adhesives and heat management technologies allows for 75% of the bulb surface to emanate light. As a result, light is comfortably and evenly distributed throughout any room in the home rather than concentrating in one direction like many other bulbs on the market.
Other similarities to incandescent bulbs offer Americans familiar conveniences including instant illumination and the ability to dim.
3M LED Advanced Light bulbs are made in New Ulm, Minnesota with globally sourced materials and are available in 800 lumens (the equivalent of 60 watts) in soft (3000k) or cool (4000k) white light at select Wal-Mart's nationwide for $25. For more information, visit www.3MLighting.com/LED.
About 3M3M captures the spark of new ideas and transforms them into thousands of ingenious products. Our culture of creative collaboration inspires a never-ending stream of powerful technologies that make life better. 3M is the innovation company that never stops inventing. With $30 billion in sales, 3M employs 84,000 people worldwide and has operations in more than 65 countries. For more information, visit www.3M.com or follow @3MNews on Twitter.

Ten best non-conference games this season
Published: Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 6:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 9:33 p.m.
While the 2014 college football schedule is littered with the typical marshmallow matchups that you wouldn't watch if they were played in your backyard, there are some gems to get ready for as the season approaches. Of course, one never knows how the seasons of these teams will transpire, but in the preseason we can still salivate. The Top 10 non-conference games for 2014:
1. Michigan State at Oregon, Sept. 6.
This would be a national championship elimination game if the playoffs weren't upon us. The winner will put itself in position to be in those playoffs while the loser will have to battle back. It's a classic defense vs. offense battle.
2. Clemson at Georgia, Aug. 30.
Right out of the box, we'll find out a lot about two teams trying to break in new quarterbacks. Last year's game was a classic and we might not get the same firepower, but it should be a great indicator.
3. LSU-Wisconsin (Houston), Aug. 30.
LSU makes a habit of opening with a toughie and any time you have an SEC-Big 10 battle there is a lot on the line. This will be — in a word — physical.
4. Stanford at Notre Dame, Oct. 4.
Is Notre Dame back? We'll know a lot more after this one. Two excellent quarterbacks — Stanford's Kevin Hogan and Notre Dame's Everett Golson — will be in the spotlight.
5. Notre Dame at FSU, Oct. 18.
The Irish are kind of an ACC team, but not really, so we're counting this as a non-conference game.
6. South Carolina at Clemson, Nov. 29.
Nothing better than two teams and two coaches who don't like each other.
7. Notre Dame at Southern Cal, Nov. 29.
This could be a huge game, but even if it's not the history is so thick it's must-watch TV.
8. UCLA-Texas (Arlington), Sept. 13.
OK, Charlie Strong, let's see what ya got. Jerry World is the perfect setting for a game like this.
9. FSU-Oklahoma State (Arlington), Aug. 30.
The Cowboys can go from under-the-radar in 2014 to national contenders if they can beat the defending national champs.
10. Florida at FSU, Nov. 29.
The last time these two teams played in Tallahassee, it was a signature win for Will Muschamp.

Recent polls have Congress with just a 10 percent approval rating. Not that I'm a math whiz – but that means that 90 percent of the people polled thinks Congress sucks! I wonder if the pollsters were only able to get a hold of those still with landlines in remote Kansas for this survey?
Actually, this finding doesn't surprise me much. Congress will continue to have a bad rating until both sides can set aside their differences and work together. This is not news, by any means. Republicans aren't willing to concede when it comes to meeting the expectations of their constituents. It's just fact. Too many of these men and women aren't willing to move with the times.
I'm sorry folks, but just like Elvis once said, "The times are a changing and we need to change with them."
I'm afraid that most of the current Republicans in office now won't make it through re-election with these kinds of attitudes any longer.
Let's get to the real facts for a second: A 10 percent approval rating can only mean one thing in terms of the future. Ready to find out? OK, here it goes – The rating can't get much worse, which only means that it can only improve from here on out. Am I not right?
I have to say this, too. Republicans can't even congratulate Pres. Obama for things they should be happy that worked out under his watch. Take, for instance, the auto bailout. It was the right thing to do. Was it controversial? Absoulutely! But, it was still the right thing to do. Look at GM now – They paid back the bailout monies and now they're raking in record profits. They're also the top-selling vehicle manufacturer beating out Toyota. That's big news but, you won't hear Republicans rejoicing that fact.
Gay rights is another big hot button issue. Statistics show that the majority of Americans are now in favor of supporting the issue. Where are the Republicans? I'm assuming in the corner scared to death waiting to see which other one of them will come out of the closet. Again, this is not an issue that is just going to go away. I suggest they start talking about it.
I could go on and on about hot button issues that each side feels they have a better grasp of, but it won't matter until they drop their party loyalties and do what's right and in the best interests of the American people.
Does anyone approve of Congress?

I'm a university professor, born originally in Coimbra. Having lived in this town for the last 3 decades the more I travel around the whole more I'm in love with my hometown.
Jose purchased this apartment in 1996
In the heart of town, no need to commute and it is even possible to go home for your lunch break! Besides, it has a beautiful garden and the whole building has been redone recently.
One apartment per floor, very quiet, large rooms, excellent overall conditions.
We stayed in this beautiful apartment in the April. It was a perfect stay with all the amenities one needs to feel at home. It is very spacious and with a great kitchen for preparing meals. Jose, our host, provided us with many great ideas to explore this wonderful area of Portugal. Coimbra itself is a beautiful town with lots to explore. The apartment is kept to perfection with a nice living room, formal dining room and plenty of space for two couples or a family. We would highly recommend this apartment and look forward to returning.
We (4 adults) stayed in this comfortable and well - equipped apartment for 10 days. The kitchen was the BEST in any apartment we have stayed in and the "vinyl" collection was amazing! The welcome pack was a kind extra on our host's part. Jose was the perfect host and pointed us in the direction of interesting places to visit and, also, to taste wine. Coimbra is a beautiful city with so many antiquities. It is also easy to reach larger places by the direct and fast train service. If we should visit Portugal again we would certainly return to this apartment and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. The only negative thing I have to say is that the bed in the second bedroom could be larger.
We were very impressed by the apartment. It was beautifully equipped and appointed and we had a very comfortable stay. It was immaculate and exceptionally well maintained. We have rented many properties in Europe and the apartment in Coimbra was exceptional. Our host was extremely helpful and met us on our arrival and checked that we had everything we needed. We really appreciated the welcome pack that was left for us. The apartment was a very relaxing place to return to after a day exploring the city. There were shops, cafés and restaurants nearby. Coimbra is a beautiful city and has much to offer. I would not hesitate to recommend the apartment to prospective visitors.
We second the review from HawaiianStyle. We stay in many homes and apartments and highly recommend this one for discriminating travelers. It is spacious, nicely furnished with some antiques, and extremely well equipped. All shopping needs are only a couple of blocks away but it is quiet and peaceful. What really makes it special, however, are the owners who are extraordinarily nice, knowledgeable and helpful (including on Portuguese wines). They offer an experience that goes beyond superficial sightseeing and made our visit to Coimbra exceptional. You will enjoy your stay there.
We got VRBO apartments in all the cities we visited in Spain and Portugal and this Coimbra apartment was by far the most spacious and well appointed on this vacation. Over the years we've had some wonderful hosts but we've never met one as helpful and accommodating as Jose. He gave us great advice re restaurants, sites to visit, wines, and history. The apartment is very spacious, clean, quiet, and tastefully decorated throughout with interesting and beautiful paintings and artifacts from around the world. There are markets, bakeries (try Venus Bakery) and restaurants nearby as well as lots of parking out front. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Our favorite sites to visit were the Roman ruins at Conimbriga, the magnificent old library at the university, and the Dux Petiscos e Vinhos restaurant.
For 12 days we (2 adults, 2 older children) were hosted by José, and we felt very comfortable. The apartment is nicely furnished and fully equipped with everything you need. José's record collection is awesome and has beautified us some evening hour.
José is a very friendly host and approachable - if we had needed something, but we missed nothing.
The apartment is located above the old town, walk took us about 15 minutes from the city center. The campus is a 10 minutes foot walk.

Francis Moloney is a John expert and Catholic priest who currently teaches at Catholic Theological College in East Melbourne, Australia.
This commentary is the fruit of many years of research and reflection on the fourth Gospel. I greatly enjoy using it and definitely recommend it to others because of Father Moloney's careful attentiveness to the narrative of John. He helps the reader of John see the powerful Gospel for what it is: a unified story that has been written "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (20:31).
Moloney's commentary is also technically informed without being bogged down by lots of other scholars' opinions. Each section deals with a pericope in a holistic way, relating the theology and narrative developments back to the whole story in John, and only after that does Moloney look at textual issues in the final verse-by-verse portion of the pericope section. This technical portion often refers the reader to other scholars' writings without long quotations that would detract from the flow of the narrative. Moloney looks at the opinions of Brown, Barrett, and Schnackenburg frequently. As a Lutheran, I greatly appreciate Moloney's words on John 6 about the miraculous and real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Throughout this commentary Moloney allows his sacramental, Catholic views come out without compromising his excellent scholarship. Overall this is a very fine commentary.
