Greg Michaels' Review: Mac's Downeast Seafood in Auburn is Awesome
The kids were home from school today and neither Lynn nor I wanted to cook so we decided to go out. In the neighborhood there is a seafood diner; Mac's Downeast Seafood and up to this point hadn't gone. Granted we just moved nine months ago but still had never been in.

Elven Alliance vs Empire (D2)
So what exactly does the Empire do that the Elven Alliance doesn't do better? It seems on the whole, the Alliance are better in both units and magic. What am I missing?

OK, so I've made an account here and waited in queue to get it activated, just to write this reply :P
I'll try to make it short, so...here goes. UNITS Melee Centaurs are decent melee units but lack in upgrades. The Chargers are great rushing units, but in the late game, they are next to useless (apart from tanking with defend all the time) due to their low damage (even with +levels gained). The XP limit is another problem. Having such a low XP bar (around 500 I believe), makes them lose a lot of XP from way too often overflows. The other option is even more useless being comparable only to the Grand Inquisitor which is mediocre, to say the least. Still, lack of armor and the low initiative make the Centaur Savages way to vulnerable to be worth your while. On the other hand, the Empire has those awesome Defenders of Faith; with 20 (+1 added per level) armor and 70 initiative, IMO they are one of the best (one square) unit in the game (only Phantom Warriors best these guys). Ranged Here, there are no doubts, The Alliance is the clear victor, as the best Empire ranged unit is only comparable to the Stinger, a mediocre archer IMO (if you plan on rushing, the Sentries or Wardens are the way to go, due to their high initiative). Casters The Casters tab is a touchy subject. Many may disagree, but I believe we have a draw here; it's really a matter of preference...whether you fancy HP and damage (Empire), or speed and maybe Shatter? (Alliance); do note here that in order to be absolutely sure that you hit first, you need to have the initiative with at least +10 more than your oponent's. So 45 vs. 40 is not that great. Healers Another touchy subject. But here I'd say the clear winner would be the Empire. 70 heal all + Cure is a much better deal than any ward (which can be easily obtained through magic as duels rarely last more than 2 turns :P) + that cr@ppy 50-55 heal all. MAGIC Here I was, thinking this would be easy. Again, it's a matter of preference, either defensive or offensive spells. I fancy defensive spells as they prove to be much more useful against towns or capitals, so I'll have to go with the Empire on this one as well (the only two spells they lack would be a level 2 damage spell, and an armor reducing one). Bottom line, the Alliance offers more options (especially in terms of archers) but are somewhat weaker overall (lower health). Anyway, they both put up a good fight Hope this helps... |

quick question on closet flanges
Hello all. I'll get right to the root of my question (background is included below for those interested!).
How important is it for the closet flange to be level (with respect to the bottom of the toilet)? My inlet is not exactly plumb, so when I went to install a new flange I noticed that it will not be level with respect to the subfloor or finished floor. To simplify my question, let's say that the flange (although not level) is sitting flush on the subfloor so that it is not unsupported anywhere along it's circumference. It's looking as though the new flange, once installed, will sit about even with the final floor at the front and about 1/4" above the finished floor at the back. I'm assuming that a wax ring should be able to take into account any difference from level around the flange. Is that correct? If the flange is above the floor in all areas around the flange, would there be any need to use an extended wax ring (or are they only needed if the flange sites below the final floor)? I can measure the distance from the base of the toilet to the underside of the opening on the bottom of the toilet to see what that distance is - I've read that you want the wax ring to be able to compress at least half it's thickness to get a good seal, so a ring with thickness twice that distance (bottom of the toilet edges to underside of opening for flushing) would be needed (taking into account any distance that the flange extends above the floor). Thanks, Corey --------- Background to my question, for those interested (and for those that may come across a similar situation). I noticed that the toilet in my main floor ensuite was leaking around the edge. Taking a look at the underside from the basement, it appeared to have been leaking for a while without any coming out from the base of the toilet, as the underside of the subfloor around the pipe was stained. I pulled the toilet off, and saw a few things that amazed me (I found that buying an older home can be interesting - you never know what is hiding just under the surface). The closet flange, while in decent shape, was complete unsupported (hanging in mid air). For some reason, a previous owner had removed half the thickness of the subfloor (I'm guessing had leaked before and was wet/rotten). Also, the wood in the area where the screws where used to 'secure' the flange to what was left of the subfloor had given way over time, so the screws weren't doing anything (expect rusting, as they weren't brass or stainless). Since I can't remove the entire section of subfloor in the area (I'd have to remove the sink cabinet to remove enough of the floor to get to the next floor joist), I'm doing the following: First I've glued in some dowels into the former screw holes to stabilize those areas. I also glued (with 'no more nails') a new thickness of plywood under the subfloor area from below, to get some additional backing for when I do install a new flange and screws (the good news is that the screw holes in the new flange do not match the old holes, so at least I'll be in somewhat better wood in the existing subfloor). I've used a mini hacksaw to remove the old flange (it was glued to the piping). For bringing the subfloor back up to it's original thickness, I'm going to try using liquidwood to stabilize the remaining part of the subfloor, and use woodepox to bring the area that was subcut back up to the original thickness. I've read that woodepox and be drilled and screwed. I'm planning on leveling the upper surface of the woodepox to match the 'pitch' of the new flange (caused by the inlet not being perpendicular to the top of the floor tiles), as I want the flange to sit flush and be fully supported. Long story short, the flange, while fully supported, will be a bit uneven with respect to the top of the tile floor at the end of the repair (by about 1/4" I figure). Hence my original question!

Sorry for the double post folks. The site kicked me out when I tried to post the first time, so I figured my login had time-out and that the message wasn't posted. I should have checked before re-posting. A moderator can delete one of the threads as needed.

We are having typical Sunday problems. Usually starts after midnight, then goes back to normal later in the afternoon. If I had to guess, the hosting runs a backup on the servers that they have on site, which slows down websites.

#1 Al Sharpton: Civil disobedience will escalate if Zimmerman remains free03-30-2012, 10:36 PM
2:22 p.m. EST, March 30, 2012|
By Arelis R. Hernández, Orlando Sentinel
If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, theRev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions.
Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police department's handling of the case.
Saturday's scheduled 11 a.m. march from Crooms Academy of Information Technology to the Sanford Police Department headquarters was organized by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Coordinators said people will be bused in from other states to participate.
The civil rights activist and syndicated television show host said he will elaborate on this plan Saturday.
"I will speak about how the National Action Network will move to the next level if Zimmerman isn't arrested," Sharpton said, who founded the organization. He added that it was the Martin family and lawyers who first asked him to get involved and nationalize this story.
TheRev. Jesse Jacksonis also expected to participate in the event.
The case has ignited ire and debate across the nation, galvanizing thousands of Trayvon supporters to the streets and social media, donning hoodies and toting Skittles.
Sanford police this week released a video of a handcuffed George Zimmerman apparently showing no visible signs of physical injury after he claimed that he shot the 17-year-old Miami teenager in self-defense.
Zimmerman's family have come to his defense on national news networks, releasing details about his version of what happened the night of Feb. 26 when police found the teen face down in wet grass.
Sharpton said the recent revelations only underscores the need for an immediate arrest and trial.
"Whether he [Zimmerman] had a swollen or broken nose, neither one means he had to take a 9mm and kill someone," he said. "It's not about saying Zimmerman is innocent or guilty, this is about whether there was probable cause to arrest him."
He criticized the way authorities have released information about the case and said they are setting a harmful precedent, he said.
Sanford city officials announced several road closures in anticipation of the march including 13th street, from U.S. Highway 17-92 to Lake Avenue; as well as, Persimmon Street from McCracken Road to 13th.
The demonstration is expected to end at 2 p.m., organizers said.

03-31-2012, 05:20 PMAl Sharpton has been at the forefront of this thing. He is the motor driving it. Now he's shaking down the whole country: arrest Zimmerman or he'll bring out the angry mob. Watch as Occupy Wall Street brings legions of its unwashed to join the fun. Then maybe the black bloc anarchists will show up, just 'cause. Add everyone who trashed Oakland and we'll have screaming, violent people blocking traffic.

I find this funny that Sharpton wants someone who has yet to be charged with a crime apprehended and held until such a time exists, however, isn't Sharpton on the Gitmo detainees bandwagon for the same thing?

Buzz is that Suniel has been signed by Sohail Khan for Jai Ho
Remember Suniel Shetty? Now, you must be wondering why we are asking such question despite him being such a popular figure in the B-town. Well, we couldn't help, because off lately the actor has been working in some not-so-mentionable productions which almost got him out of the scene. Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai, Tum Milo Toh Sahi, Thank You are some recent disasters which Suniel was a part of. These films failed to create magic at the box-office and striked Suniel out from our starry list.
But now it looks like, Suniel Shetty is giving showbiz yet another chance. Courtesy Sohail and Salman Khan. If rumours are to be believed, Suniel has been signed by Sohail Khan for Jai Ho, where he will play the role of a military officer. The actor has already played similar roles in Main Hoon Na, Border and LOC Kargil. Suniel will start shooting for the film starring Salman Khan next week and has already got his military cut look for the film.
Now all we can do is just wait and watch if Suniel will be able to entertain the masses or not. What do you think peeps?

When looking at home safety there are several different aspects of the home to maintain and check like ensuring you install hurricane shutters englewood fl prior to expecting a hurricane. It is extremely important to keep the home safe to avoid catastrophes. In order to prevent some of these catastrophes from happening, it's important to discuss, and review them to be aware of the dangers found in everyday homes. The purpose of home safety is prevention. In order to prevent accidents from happening in or outside the home.
We all know accidents happen, especially with smaller children. In order to safeguard the home it is necessary to know the risk. Another necessary step to take in ensuring safety in the home is preventive maintenance. Many accidents occur each year, that could have been avoided. In order to be safe, in the home it is important to know some of the areas, in the home that can be a risk, to one's family. Water, and drowning can be a huge risk, for smaller children that do not know how to swim. Having a locked gate, to prevent children from gaining access, can and will prevent accidents. Another way to prevent drowning is making sure the bathtub is drained. Never leave small children unattended in the bathroom.
There is another hazard, in the home, that most do not even think about, and its batteries. A singing holiday greeting card can be ripped apart, and lethal if ingested. it is also a hazard, to leave keys watches or anything containing, button batteries. It is important to keep these batteries tucked away from children, if that is not possible a piece of strong tape can be used to insure it is not opened so easily. One, huge hazard in the home is fire safety it imperative to check fire detectors on a monthly basis. Its also important to always be aware when cooking in the kitchen.
Someone who is cooking in the kitchen should stay in the kitchen and keep debris off of the stove and away from hot surfaces. If there are children in the house never hold a child while cooking. Keep children away from hot appliances. it may be important to set the water heater to 121 or below to prevent children from being scalded. Keep gasoline, and matches away from children's reach. When children start to get older it is also important to teach them about fire safety.

Cracking the BYOD Security Nut
While so-called BYOD isn't necessarily new — IT departments, after all, have been supporting mobile road warriors since the 1980s — the rising tide of end users seeking the use and support of their own consumer devices is something quite different. It's so different that IT departments are grasping for any standard or proven approaches that make Bring Your Own Device access of enterprise resources both secure and reliable. The task is dauntingly complex, and new and unforeseen consequences of BYOD are cropping up regularly.

Burn Brightly Beyond
We are Celebrating our Church Retreat from, Friday evening 8:00pm to Sunday 1:00pm, October 5th to 7th, 2012 – this coming Weekend.
Our regular service will be on Sunday Morning at High Retreat at 10:00am, in the Mountain View Retreat Center.
Because of our Church Retreat at Highland Retreat Center, in the Mountain View Retreat Center, we are not going to have our regular Sunday morning worship service in our building in Harrisonburg this Sunday, at 3156 North Valley Pike. Please come and join us at Highland Retreat, or please find another local church to worship this Sunday.
Come and join us again next Sunday or any other Sunday.
Our resource couple is Kyle and Amy Ledyard.
Our theme for the Weekend is: "Walking in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit."
The blessings of The Lord be with you.
Our Vision:
"We are God's Ambassadors, through the Power of the Holy Spirit, who
Transforms Lives."
We Commit to Worship, Honor, and Obey the Father.
We Commit to Care for, and Equip, the Followers of Jesus Christ for Ministry.
We Commit to Break Down Dividing Walls, by Sharing the Gospel Locally, and Globally, with the Help of the Holy Spirit.
The Kingdom begins when our ability ends….
The ark: It had never rained before. The first boat of its kind. Noah followed God's instructions and voice. The people mocked and ridiculed him and his family. Noah wasn't a boat builder. It had never rained before. Then it rained. Noah's faith was that of Abraham and more. Noah placed his trust and very life in God's provision.
The fortress: Jericho never fell before. It was securely shut up, none went out and none came in. They thought it couldn't fall. Fear gripped the land.
The Kingdom: God's ways many times do not make sense. The Kingdom begins when our ability ends. When our rights are surrendered; Jesus steps in.
1 Corinthians 1:17-18

Liverpool suffered its second Barclays Premier League defeat of the season as it went down 2-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
The Gunners took the lead inside the opening 20 minutes when Santi Cazorla reacted quickest to blast home after he'd watched a header rebound off the post.
The Reds began the second period in positive manner as they sought an equalizer, but Aaron Ramsey's dipping 20-yard drive doubled Arsenal's advantage just before the hour.
Luis Suarez hit the base of the post as Liverpool looked to claim something from the game, but Arsene Wenger's men held out to remain at the top of the standings.
The pregame team news confirmed Liverpool was without the services of Glen Johnson due to illness.
Jon Flanagan was the England man's replacement, making his first appearance for the Reds since the FA Cup tie with Mansfield on January 6 in what was an otherwise unchanged starting line-up. Meanwhile, the fit-again Philippe Coutinho was named on the substitutes' bench.
The game got underway with second-placed Liverpool trailing table-toppers Arsenal by just two points, with both teams having only lost once in the opening weeks of 2013-14.
Tomas Rosicky fired the evening's first effort with six minutes on the clock, finding space inside the box only to see his effort across the face of goal diverted wide by the palm of Simon Mignolet.
At the other end, Jordan Henderson bounded into the area only to miscue when well positioned to shoot.
The opening exchanges had been fairly even, with the visitors having settled into their stride positively in north London.
However, Arsenal took the lead with 19 minutes on the clock when Bacary Sagna found space down the right. The full-back's center picked out of the head of Cazorla, whose initial attempt cannoned against the post before he swept home the rebound.
Liverpool almost mustered a swift riposte, but Kolo Toure's downward header from Steven Gerrard's free-kick was blocked by the boot of the sprawling Wojciech Szczesny, though the flag was raised for offside in any case.
Back came the hosts, and Mignolet needed to get down to repel Ramsey's drive after a slick one-two with Rosicky.
Brendan Rodgers opted to make a change during the break, introducing Coutinho into the action in place of Aly Cissokho.
The manager will undoubtedly have been urging more from his players going forward during his half-time team talk, and that's what was delivered in a positive opening to the second 45.
First, Suarez escaped the attentions of Arsenal's defense to race into space in the right channel of the box before toe-poking off target. Then, moments later, he was again afforded space in a dangerous area and the No. 7's cross to the back post was volleyed over by Henderson.
But the Reds' promising work was almost undone when Olivier Giroud beat Martin Skrtel to Toure's under-hit pass, but the striker's attempted chip found the side netting.
Arsenal didn't have to wait long to claim a second, however, when Ramsey connected with a half-volley that looped over Mignolet and found the back of the net from 20 yards on 59 minutes.
Victor Moses replaced Flanagan as Liverpool attempted to set about salvaging something from the clash, and they almost had a goal back when Suarez's outside-of-the-foot effort struck the base of the post from a tight angle.
Liverpool continued to toil in their endeavors to reduce the arrears, and Suarez spurned a gilt-edged chance in the dying moments as he side-footed wide when through on goal as Arsenal held on to clinch victory.

Political Action Committee To Defeat Barack Obama As Soon As They Spell His Name Correctly
Paperwork to form the new committee, the "Campaign to Defeat Barrack Obama," was filed with the Federal Election Commission on April 5. Ten days later, the PAC's name was changed to "Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama." The group filed its first financial report this week.
"The original registration form had the incorrect spelling, but the committee has since filed an amended registration form to correct the issue," FEC spokesman Christian Hilland told TPM.
The treasurer who filed the paperwork did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.


text: One word, Grilladelic. The word behind the movement my dad has started in West Michigan. A former owner of a barbecue store, 15 year veteran of the Michigan barbecue competition circuit, a man with a passion. He's the Buddha of BBQ, on his quest for grilled enlightenment. An inventive guy who's used everything from Dr. Pepper to coffee beans in his custom creations. For years he's traveled to competitions with nothing more than 2 Weber kettle grills and hung with the big boys who come with their thousand-dollar grills from around the country. He's been hailed as the man who's going to bring barbecue to Grand Rapids, working with people around the state saying "Grand Rapids is going to be the barbecue capital of Michigan." It would mean the world to him for his protege (myself) to win him a trip like this, plus, The Windy City could use a little Grilladelic.

Aaron's Talladega Dream Weekend Winners To Be Presented With Custom Sam Bass Trophies
May 05, 2012, 11:32 ET from Aaron's, Inc.
ATLANTA, May 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE: AAN) will present one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Sam Bass trophies to the winners of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Aaron's 499 and Nationwide Series Aaron's 312 at Talladega Superspeedway May 5 and 6.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120505/CL01710 ) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090423/CL03821LOGO )
This will be the third time Aaron's has contracted with renowned motorsports artist, Sam Bass of Concord, N.C., to design and produce a unique trophy that will be coveted by drivers and racing teams. Aaron's and Bass together developed this year's concept – the trophy will feature an image of the driver standing atop a custom painting of the winning car.
"Aaron's Dream Weekend at Talladega features some of the most exciting, exceptional racing seen in the sport, and we wanted to create a trophy that exemplifies this unique event," said Ken Butler, Chief Operating Officer of Aaron's, Inc. "Sam Bass consistently delivers original, matchless designs every driver dreams of putting in their trophy case, so he was the natural choice in designing this year's trophy."
Bass will begin his painting in Victory Lane at the close of the race and will be present with the winners when they receive their trophies. He will complete the process in his studio, then deliver and insert the painting into the trophy at the winning team's shop.
"I am honored that Aaron's has chosen me once again to design the winning trophies for such a prestigious event in the sport of racing," said Bass, NASCAR's first officially licensed artist. "This is truly an opportunity to combine my passion for both art and motorsports, and I'm especially looking forward to painting the winning moment live in Victory Lane."
Past Aaron's Dream Weekend at Talladega winners and recipients of Sam Bass trophies include Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch. Aaron's 499 2010 winner Harvick said, "It's always a great feeling to win a race and add the trophy to your collection, but to be presented with a special one-of-a-kind trophy always adds a little extra special meaning. Sam does an amazing job creating his designs, that it's more of a piece of art than an actual trophy. To know you have a trophy of that caliber in your collection always makes it a little more special."
About Aaron's, Inc. Aaron's, Inc. (NYSE: AAN), the nation's leader in the sales and lease ownership and specialty retailing of residential furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, has more than 1,960 Company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada.

ABC in Reverse
Pattern: Claudia Scarf, by Rebecca Jackson
Yarn: Classic Elite Summer Sox, 40/40/20 cotton/merino/nylon
Hook: 3.50mm
This isn't my first Claudia Scarf, and it may not be my last. It's pleasing to work, and the results are so pretty.
I used a sock yarn that's part merino, part cotton, to make it an all-seasons piece, and I aimed for a width that would allow it to function as either a wrap or a scarf. At 12 inches wide after blocking, it's just about right. I'm almost always cold on airplanes, so this will definitely be in my carry-on bag when I go on vacation this month.
B is for backstitch (not to mention Bonnie and Blue Peninsula) ...
Work continues, bit by bit, on my Stitch Dictionary sampler. At the end of a long day, it's fun to wind down with this little project.
A is for August ... I don't think I'll be blogging much (maybe not at all) during August. In addition to traveling, I'll be getting a new fingerless mitts pattern ready for publication. And I'll continue working on Pomegranate, under the watchful eye of Inspector Snickers ...
(more info about Pomegranate on Ravelry)
And A is for Arch--as in the Gateway Arch. I'll be up at the top of the Arch soon, enjoying the views. I haven't been there since I was a child and am looking forward to seeing it and other Saint Louis sights again. My family and I are gathering not far from Saint Louis for a reunion in Waterloo, Illinois, where my mom and dad grew up, met, and married. I can't wait to see everybody!
Adios, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen ...

Wait! What? I grew up in Red Bud, just south of Waterloo, went to high school in W'loo, my dad and sister and fam still live there.

If you are in the neighborhood and want to grab a coffee, send me an email!
- Bonnie said...
Wow, Sally, as they say - it's a small world! If I'm near you, I'll shoot you an email.

What a treat to see Snickers! Love the scarf, too.
- Karin said...
Auf Wiedersehen!! Enjoy and I'll see you soon. :)

You have the most amazing gift when it comes to matching just the right colors, texture and gauge when it comes to your needlework. Love the scarf!
Have a wonderful trip, and enjoy your time with your family! - 4:55 PM

text: Japan Nearly Puts A Satellite In Venus' OrbitMike Fahey12/08/10 2:30pmFiled to: ScienceSpace ExplorationjaxaISASJapanAkatsukiMissMeteorology187EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Launched earlier this year, Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft was supposed to enter equatorial orbit of the planet Venus yesterday, using a combination of specialized cameras to track clouds and watch for Venusian lightning for two years. Whoops. Advertisement The Akatsuki was an ambitious project for JAXA, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. Dubbed the world's first planetary meteorological satellite, the spacecraft would orbit Venus for two years, helping scientists unravel the secrets of the high-speed winds constantly propelling the cloud bed covering the planet's surface. Its data would complement that of the Venus Express, the European Space Agency's satellite that has been in place since 2006.Alas, it was not to be. Advertisement During its orbit injection exercise the craft passed behind the planet, and JAXA lost contact. Once contact was reestablished it was discovered that one of the thrusters had failed to function. Akatsuki had missed its window, and was continuing along a path orbiting the sun.A press conference was held at NAXA's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), announcing the failure. Project manager Masato Nakamura apologized for not meeting the nation's expectations. He did not look pleased. NAXA isn't an organization that gives up easily, however. After their Nozomi probe failed to achieve Mars orbit in 2003, they landed it on an asteroid and had it bring back space dust to Earth. There's a chance that Akatsuki can be salvaged as well, as long as there's enough fuel left six years from now when the spacecraft and Venus meet once more.

The 5th – 11th March 2012 is British Pie week and in true Gourmand fashion the next 7 days will be dedicated to Pies!
Day 1 Pie is a Lamb and Mint pie from the Misletoe Bakery in Jesmond , Newcastle upon Tyne
The pastry on the pie was perfect and not at all dry or crumbly.
As you can see the pie was jam-packed with Lamb, unfortunately the filling was rather dry to eat on its own and had a fair bit of gristle.
After eating one half of the pie I couldn't continue with the other half and had to throw it out. Not a good start to day 1 of pie week.
Unfortunately Mr Gourmand is unavailable for the whole of pie week, as a pie connoisseur his opinion will be sadly missed.

It has been a very long time since your blogstress last occupied her own breakaway republic; would that she could tell you why. Oh sure, she's been mighty busy, doing the things one might expect a blogstress to be doing--singing torch songs, shopping for lingerie and watching C-SPAN, with box of bon-bons at hand. Yet, instead of turning her taunting wit to the plethora of scandal and perdition now gripping Our Nation's Capitol and all in its realm, your cybertrix finds herself adrift in a sea of listlessness, barely able to raise her well-manicured middle finger in the direction of the White House. In short, your Webwench is consumed by--for lack of a better term--outrage fatigue.
So shamelessly consistent are the thieving hucksters who control the executive and legislative branches of our superior form of government that, with each successive outrage--say, the revocation of food stamps from several hundred thousand single-parent families even as Congress stands poised to give America's wealthiest citizens a $70 billion tax break--one feels one's capacity for indignation diminishing. We've been breathing the toxic waste of lies and blood and graft for so long that we've developed a sort of emphyzema of the soul, gasping for truth as we wheeze out a wimper of protest.
Perhaps your net-tête should return to the third person singular and speak only for herself. Perhaps you feel nothing like her exhaustion in the face of news about our government's torture of prisoners, the name-calling of combat veterans who speak against the war, the revelation of the president's demolition plan for al Jazeera, the attempt to throw Hurricane Katrina survivors out of their government-funded quarters, the fleecing of taxpayers in the post-Katrina contracting, and Vice President Cheney's plans to skip the White House Christmas party in order to attend a fundraiser for the indicted Tom DeLay. Perhaps you are out there, screaming at the top of your lungs, blogging three times daily, calling into C-SPAN and writing your congressperson. You would then be a far better man than your blogstress.
But if you are like your blogstress's many friends, you instead whisper in her exquisitely delicate ear about fascism--e.g., we're on the cusp of--fearful of being overheard lest one be branded an alarmist nut, or worse. Indeed, in at least five different settings over the last week, your écrivaine has been presented with that partcular F-word--not in angry invective, not as a mindless perjorative, but, rather, as a description of a state of being towards which les amis de la cyberscribe fear our nation is marching.
Said a friend who works on the Hill: "I know that Goebbels wrote a book; I've been thinking I should read it--just to know what they're up to."

Sitting outside in the sun on a white plastic garden chair, Antonio Luis, the man who describes himself as the last of Chascomús´ black Afro-Argentines, keeps watch over the chapel his enslaved ancestors built 150 years before.
From his garden on the plot of land next to the 'Capilla de los Negros', he oversees the comings and goings of coachloads of tourists, pensioners, and schoolchildren who arrive from the capital seeking some green respite.
The task of taking care of the capilla(chapel) – cleaning it, attending to the people who visit it – has been Antonio´s for the past 22 years, ever since his mother Elíosa died.
¨For me, this is paradise,¨ he says, when asked what the capilla means to him personally.
¨It´s where I was born and raised. A treasure.¨
Many historians and Afro-Argentines would agree. The simple brick and adobe building, surrounded by a luxuriant garden, dates from 1862 and forms part of UNESCO´s Ruta del Esclavo del Río de la Plata. It was declared a historic site in 1962, and has been described as one of ¨the few testimonials to the presence of a black population, not just in the city, but in the country,¨ by philosopher Dina Picotti, who authored a chapter on the building for UNESCO´s Sitios de Memoria last year.
In censuses taken in Buenos Aires in 1810, 1822 and 1838, blacks and mulatos were reportedly more than 25% of the population.
But ask any Argentine about their nation´s black heritage, and you will likely hear narratives about Africans being cannon fodder during the wars for independence and subsequent civil wars, and thus having been erased from the face of the nation.
¨It´s not a myth that blacks were cannon fodder,¨ Afro-Argentine activist and academic Miriam Gomes explained when asked about the supposed ¨disappearance¨ of Afro-descendants on television. ¨We were. But it didn´t end the black population in Argentina. There were women and children who were then mixed into the European population.¨
An analysis of blood samples in 2006 by the Centro de Genética de Filosofía y Letras de la UBA found that 4.3% of people in Buenos Aires and surroundings had African genetic markers, which could indicate a national Afro-Argentine population of nearly two million.
Gomes points to the combined processes of geographic dispersion, invisibilisation through historiographical racism, and ethnic mixing that together led to an Afro-Argentine population far less visible than those of neighbouring Brazil or Uruguay. ¨We´ve been made invisible, people don´t see us even though we´re right in front of them,¨ said Gomes in a slot about the chapel on the television programme 'Vivo en Argentina'.
Antonio´s niece Soledad Luis, a direct descendant of the chapel´s founders and a tour guide for the monument, has shared this experience. ¨People will see you on the street and ask you where you are from. It´s something cultural, that there aren´t any blacks here.¨
According to Picotti, who was described by La Nación newspaper as having ¨rescued¨ the black race in Argentina, and who dedicated a good part of her life to studying the black presence here and across America, Argentina began ¨denying¨ its black history because of its links to slavery.
This is despite the indelible marks African cultures have left on Argentine culture.
Words such as zambo (a person with one black and one Indian parent), malambo (a folkloric dance), mucama (maid) and tango have their origins in black Africa, as do the 2X3 rhythms of folkloric music and the use of percussion.
¨Those who were reduced to slaves, sent to the battlefront in wars, employed in inhumane conditions in all manner of jobs, gave to us, despite all of this, song and dance,¨ argued Picotti in La Nación.
Soledad Luis certainly encounters a wide range of opinions from Argentines while on the job.
¨There are people who attempt to justify slavery, elitists, or those who go to the other extreme and apologise for being white,¨ she says.
Nestled in the province of Buenos Aires, the historical centre of the small, quiet, rural town of Chascomús was so visibly and audibly populated with African slaves and their descendants that it was known as the barrio del tambor, or 'Drumtown', a name that remains in use today.
Men did farm work on the estancias in the area, caring for animals, driving carriages, taming horses, while women and children were delegated domestic tasks.
¨In those days, parents would travel often, and they left their children. They were practically raised by the slaves,¨ says Soledad.
Blacks were given the surnames of the hacendados, not because they wanted them to be part of the family, but because giving them their surname demonstrated ownership of the individual. Thus, many Afro descendants have or had double surnames that came from well-to-do families.
The chapel in Chascomús, built as a headquarters for a black community association, originally had very little to do with popular religion. The modest construction with dirt floors and open walls was, in fact, something of a good time venue.
¨It was for meeting up, for joining together, for celebrating candombe and carnaval. They went to dance, to smoke leaf tobacco, drink white liquors, to converse,¨ recounts Soledad.
They also went to celebrate their saints and their particular form of spirituality, mixing African rituals with Río de la Plata candombes, the dances and musical expression of African origin that served as a resistance to the oppression of slavery.
During epidemics of cholera and yellow fever in the middle of the 19th century, the building operated as a quarantine for the ill.
Up until the death of Soledad´s grandmother Eloísa in 1990, it was where the family met every Sunday, and where the comparsa, a music and dance group, was organised.
¨People said that when they played the drums, you could feel it. It was a huge, immense fiesta. We had big parties, asados, with my family, and people who didn´t have anything to do with us came and joined us all the same,¨ Antonio remembers.
¨But the traditions have just about all been lost.¨
Soledad also laments the chapel´s change of role from epicentre of the Afro-Argentine community to depository of artefacts from popular religion, such as images of saints, rosaries, artificial flowers and crucifixes.
This likely came about in the 1950s after the building was nearly destroyed by a cyclone. It was rebuilt by neighbours, but with modifications such as an altar added in.
Nonetheless, the chapel is taking on a significant role as a resource for the transmission of Argentina´s African heritage and as a focal point for candombe groups.
Soledad has recently been organising anniversary festivities involving the monument in November and June next year, as well as finishing off a short film about the chapel which is to be broadcast on the INCAA television channel.
She also works with DIAFAR, the Diaspora Africana de la Argentina, an NGO which aims to increase the visibility of Afro-Argentines and tackle racism and discrimination. At the same time, other Afro-descendants such as Gomes are advocating for the inclusion of Afro-Argentine history in the school curriculum. Until that day comes, they say, the history of Argentina is not going to be complete.
In the meantime, creeping vines are entwining their way into the roof and the adobe of the building – and it´s going to take specialists to remove them and to fix large wooden windows with appropriate wood. Being a national historic monument, any changes require paperwork and patience.
Antonio Luis is in no hurry, greeting neighbours and listening to the radio in his garden, his dog Benito asleep with his belly full at his side.
¨They built the capilla. They sang, they danced, they gathered. Some died, some left, and I´m the last one,¨ he says, smiling into the sun.
[box_post] Mind Your Language
Argentine Spanish speakers frequently, if perhaps unwittingly, spice their language with expressions considered derogatory towards Afro-descendants.
A report published by the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism (INADI) targeting local media aims to rid the country of colloquialisms that don´t sit well in a nation rediscovering its multicultural roots.
The word ¨negro¨, for instance, is sometimes used to describe workers pejoratively.
It is commonplace in workplaces, the report says, for superiors to refer to their employees as ¨los negros¨ collectively. It´s also used to refer to marginalised Argentines, indigenous descendants and Latin American migrants in a discriminatory manner, a manifestation evident in the chants of football fans.
The report also recommends not using ¨negro¨ as an adjective to describe an element or situation negatively. For instance: a ¨día negro¨, or ¨trabajar en negro¨ (work illegally), the latter a ¨naturalised expression which evokes work without pay and in terrible conditions which slaves were subjected to¨. It suggests ¨trabajo informal¨ as an alternative.
The word quilombo is of African origin, referring to South American settlements of escaped slaves, something clearly considered threatening and undesirable by colonial society. Thus the term was negatively appropriated and came to mean a brothel, or a mess in colloquial Argentine Spanish.
Argentine media have also been advised by INADI not to associate Afro-descendants with foreigners, since the vast majority of Afro-Argentines have been in the country for many generations, or describe African religions as sects. [/box_post]

Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
Totally UnAcceptable!! To me this is symptomatic of what has been wrong with this team - Lack of Discipline! The HC has got to take control of this team. It frustrates the Hell out of me when we have players killing drives because they want to demonstrate their 'manhood', and I use this term lightly, because in most instances they were just outmanned by their opponent - '53 Mighty Men' you NO longer are!

Re: Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
I started a thread on this shortly before the Cleveland game and at the time the consensus was that the data was skewed given the presence of replacement refs. 3 games later it's still a problem. Discpline on the field and between the whistle is definately a problem and uncharacteristic of John Harbaugh's teams. Let's hope this improves because we've enougt issues on both sides of the ball to contend with.
Re: Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
Uh-oh.... wan't that one of Billick's big downfalls? No discipline?
Sharpen the ax Stevie B. That "gut feeling" might hit you
Re: Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
I was really hoping it was the replacement refs. Very difficult to change this in season. I remember Billick having a year like that and the next season the Ravens were among the least penalized because he focused on it during camp. Other than telling the players to stop and think I don't see how Harbaugh fix it. No one is getting benched because we're not deep enough to do it.

Re: Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
I consider penalties right up there with turnovers. They stall/kill drives and protract our opponents drives. They contribute significantly to losing games. I also agree with GOTA that it's hard to fix in season. I think we're going to see a lot more of it and it will undoubtedly hurt us.

Re: Nfl's most penalized team - ravens
Honestly, at this point, I don't understand what the problem is.
I am not even sure it is the coaching per se.
When our linemen that we have had for a few years still jump offside, I can't explain it.
When our defenders try covering wideouts and touch them and we get flagged, I say ok...unless of course I watch everyone else around the league grabbing and pulling and holding the entire play and nothing is called, including against our wideouts, I can't explain it.
When I watched our receivers get held the entire game against the Eagles and then offensive PI was called on us on a TD play, I can't explain it. Yes, it was rental refs.
And when I see our Olinemen called for holding and then see our DLinemen held all day and no calls, I can't explain it.
But in the end, the players themselves should be accountable. I do think one of the hardest things to do in football is to be a defensive player in pass coverage since they are not allowed to touch them or hit them as the ball gets there. Sometimes it's called hitting a defenseless player and sometimes its called a great play and sometimes its called illegal contact.
The ones that get me are the trashtalking and pushing after the play is over and/or jawing to the refs.
It doesn't help anything. I understand the frustration because our defense is getting pushed around like never before, but you have to act like you have some sense and know they are trying to get our guys to blow their lid and it's working.

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...EBECC2E072D1314C7156EB&view=detail&FORM=VIRE2 I had to think about whether or not to post a thread about this movie, as it may degenerate into a political slanging match. But as I don't bother with the Neutral Zone, I'll just hope that we're mature enough to discuss the movie as a movie and not sound off about the 2008 US Presidential Election and the personalities involved. Anyway, this movie aired last night on UK tv and presumably has already done so in the US. It's based on the book Race of A Lifetime - How Obama Won The White House (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Race-Lifetime-Obama-White-House/dp/0670918024) and is written and directed by the team of Danny Strong and Jay Roach, who also made Recount, the gripping movie about the post-Florida fight for the 2000 election. (And yes, it's almost bizarre that one of the three nerds from Season 6 of Buffy and the director of Austin Powers could turn out two such superb political movies). Unlike the book, this movie concentrated solely on the Republican side of the race - Obama and Biden appeared only in archive footage (well, there was a stand-in for Biden used for a 'from-behind' close up during the recreation of the VP debate), whereas the Republican team were played by actors. The movie was essentially about how the Republican campaign was at first galvanised, then basically derailed by the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. Palin, played here uncannily well by Julianne Moore, has denounced the movie, while McCain's campaign manager, Steve Schmidt (played by Woody Harrelson, looking remarkably like the real thing) has apparently said that watching it was 'like an out of body experience.' McCain is played by a similarly convincing, if slightly too youthful and robust Ed Harris. Palin may well have been surprised had she watched this movie. I didn't feel that it was a hatchet job on her. She came across as a woman simply out of her depth, thrust into the spotlight by a team who didn't do the proper vetting and checks on her. The movie didn't appear to pin blame on any one person for this, rather it was a combination of enthusiasm for her, anxiety to get one over on Team Obama and tongues being bitten by the wrong people. Palin was, for my money, portrayed as a genuinely loving and protective mother. The scenes of her and the beautiful Downs Syndrome baby who played her son Trig were touching. Additionally, scenes of Moore's Palin meeting with adult Downs Syndrome people while canvassing endeared her to the viewer. And when she criticised any adult who could make fun of a teenage girl (i.e. her daughter) on tv for the sake of some laughs, you could not but agree with and empathise with her. As against that, the movie did remind us of the unpleasant side of Palin - Troopergate, the tantrums with her staff, her lack of any grasp of foreign policy and her 'dog-whistle' attacks on Obama. McCain too came across better here than he did in the original book, where he often seemed to be losing his mind. The film concentrated on the better aspects of his character and personality; towards the end, we saw scenes of him defending Obama in front of rallies and in his concession speech. It didn't include his infamous 'lizard face' at Obama's back after Presidential debate or his rude 'this one' gibe at Obama durung another debate. He was portrayed as genuinely wanting to avoid a negative campaign - something that is perhaps open to debate. The bottom line is that this was an entertaining movie, cleverly scripted and well-played, not just by the three leads but by the likes of Sarah Paulson, Peter McNicoll and Ron Livingston. Conservatives and Republicans were not portrayed as either living saints or the devil incarnate - rather, they were people doing a job for reasons they believe in and trying to put their country on a path they genuinely believed to be the right one. In particular, when Schmidt told Palin that the election of America's first African-American President was a momentous occasion and that she should do nothing that could be seen to take away from it, you came away with an enhanced respect for him. Anyone else watch it?
I did and I thought it was well done. I think it could've been helped by being a miniseries as opposed to a movie because quite a bit was left out.
I read the book right after it came out. It was a very good book. The bulk of the book was actually about the democratic candidates: Obama, Clinton, Edwards, with probably only 1/4 of the book being about McCain and Palin. Furthermore, at the time of the book's publication, the big revelations from it were about the Edwards and, to a lesser extent, some intemperate remarks by Bill Clinton and Harry Reid. Conversely, by the time of publication, there was really no big surprise in learning that Palin was ill-prepared at the time she ran for VP. That was pretty clear from watching Katie Couric live as it happened. In fact, the title of the book, "Game Change," was about Obama and the Clintons. Obama, widely seen as an underdog was able to "change the game," win the election and, ultimately, have Hillary Clinton work for him. And, yet, from what I understand, the movie has none of that. Instead it was all about a minor--and well trod--part of the book. Combine that with the fact the director is a democrat partisan and, right or wrong, it would tend to make conservatives suspicious.
Great performances by all the cast especially by Moore and overall I enjoyed the film, it was very interesting no doubt. I do have a few issues that seem too bad to be true though if she really thought the Queen ran my country FECKING HELL. I have little doubt though that Sarah probably did begin to believe it was all about her, shes oozes living in a fucking giant bubble with no information about what goes on arund her.
Fair enough. But I'd urge them to give the movie a try. I thought it did try to be fair and respectful towards McCain, Schmidt and Palin herself; indeed, I'd say none of the Republican team suffered a hatchet job in it.
I thought McCain came off very good in the movie and I also have to say if its true that Palin's teleprompter broke during her convention speech then it was a fantastic recovery.
Yeah I thought it was quite good as well. Whether it's accurate or not, the portrait of Palin drawn by Moore and the writers certainly felt real and believable. The mix of small town charm, general naivety, religious fervor, and a swelling ego all felt very true to what we saw in interviews and on the campaign trail.
Despite the real hatred some have displayed over this movie and the characterization (go on.. check IMDBs message board for it ) of Palin i think it was a well balanced movie and if true what Schmidt claims confirms everything i suspected about Palin. She, like Bush jr., were just people who were out of their depths for the position they were intended to take. Palin always struck me as the typical soccer mom cliché.. sometimes not too bright but the heart of the family and the glue that keeps it all together. She was overwhelmed by the demands of a national political campaign and when pressure increased she cracked and lost it.. it could have been prevented by a proper vetting procedure but this was also the failure of McCain's team by not doing their job properly because they basically wanted a nice looking figurehead to help push McCain but it turned out she was not fit for the job as soon as their opponents started zeroing in on her. So for all intents and purposes i think it was a fair and balanced movie with a brilliant job by Moore.
I liked the movie, haven't read the book. With the events still relatively fresh in my mind, the material in the show seemed a little "stagey;" a more documentary style and naturalistic dialogue may have worked better for me. I agree that Palin is treated more sympathetically than I would have guessed from the pre-airing denouncements, but she still comes off pretty bad. You'd think that someone the lest bit reflective or self-aware would realize that she was out of her depth and needed to cooperate with the campaign and help them help her. Instead she went into some weird kind of passive-aggressive resistance. Naivete and arrogance is a bad combination. I had vaguely heard about Palin wanting to deliver her own concession speech. If it really went down like it was shown in the movie, the obliviousness is stunning. I also thought McCain was presented in a very favorable light, perhaps due to Steve Schmidt and Nichole Wallace's involvement as sources. I'd like to think that's how he really was, with some of his old "maverick," McCain-Feingold persona showing through the strong partisan facade he had to adopt in the campaign. Justin
Netflix finally, finally brings the longed-for disc! McCain definitely got a kid-glove treatment. Of all the main characters, I think he's the only one never to lose his temper, which is ironic. I think everything showed of him in the movie was more or less accurate, though they didn't show any just-as-real moments of him looking totally out of touch, crabby, or peevish at Barack running for prez so soon. (He respected the guy, but definitely didn't think he'd earned the cred to run.) Other than that, though, it's a fantastic and wonderfully entertaining movie that neatly demonstrates why we don't get great horror movies like The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby anymore. Who needs demonically possessed children, let alone torture porn, when you can just show what the GOP actually does? As cool as it'd be to see another Game Change movie focusing on the Dems, it's easy to see why they aren't doing one - Barack is extremely difficult to cast, HBO's Hollywood types probably aren't that interested in showing just how far up their own butts the Clintons went, and, the Edwards meltdown aside, the story just isn't as twisty. But the upcoming 2012 Game Change book has already been optioned, so we'll see how it goes...
I thought this film was pretty good. All of the main cast did great jobs, but Julianne Moore definitely stood out. It was like she became Palin. I also think that the film didn't slam Palin necessarily, though it didn't lionize her either. I agree that it portrayed a woman out of her depth, essentially a caring person but also one with an ego and insecurities. What was a bit chilling about the film was watching her descent into egomania. I was also chilled by John McCain's unwillingness to keep Palin in check. His own desire to win at all cost could've put a person clearly unready to succeed him as President.
It is strange that a retired Navy captain was so reluctant to assert his authority. At first he just didn't want her screwing up so badly, but by the home stretch, as the movie shows, he was genuinely afraid of ticking her off.
Harry Lennix if it's TV and Denzel if it's a movie and who cares whether he actually looks like the guy? After googling to find out who Obama wants to play him in the movie of his life on a hunch, I came up with this:
I caught most of this on HBO while staying in a hotel one night, and have been waiting impatiently for it to come out on DVD so I can finally watch the whole thing.
I don't do Red Box, so I wouldn't know, but it's a good bet that Game Change will probably show up at a library.
