They say timing is everything, and apparently mine isn t so hot.
The day I ve been so gung-ho about for the past few weeks the day my first professional blog goes live I ll be on a much-needed vacation away from all this frigid weather.
Trust me, a vacation is necessary so my brain can re-charge and I ll be fresh and sharp when I throw myself into the blogosphere making insightful comments about the always-crazy world of Reality TV. (Did I just use "insightful" and "reality TV" in the same sentence?)
Besides, because Las Vegas is so much closer to Hollywood than Toledo, I have complete confidence that I ll overhear some inside dirt regarding the upcoming Hollywood week on American Idol.
But for now, all I know for sure is that I can look forward to dozens of hopefuls forgetting the lyrics to popular songs that everyone, except apparently them, knows the words to.
Until then, here s some juicy gossip to whet your appetite: American Idol Worship.
And we ll also catch up with the strange relationship between Alex and Colie, even though they re both dating someone else, on The Real World.
Be prepared for those topics and more once I get back later this week, refreshed and inevitably with a lot less cash, so I ll have no problems getting back into the swing of watching reality TV.
That s when the real fun begins.

Some media pundits see in the growing proportion of non-white groups in the population a growing opposition to the Republican Party that will sooner or later make it virtually impossible for Republicans to win presidential elections or even to control either house of Congress. But is demography destiny?
Conventional wisdom in the Republican establishment is that what the GOP needs to do, in order to win black votes or Hispanic votes, is to craft policies specifically targeting these groups. In other words, Republicans need to become more like Democrats.
Whether in a racial context or in other contexts, the supposed need for Republicans to become more like Democrats has long been a recurring theme of the moderate Republican establishment, going back more than half a century.
Yet the most successful Republican presidential candidate during that long period was a man who went completely counter to that conventional wisdom namely, Ronald Reagan, who won back to back landslide election victories.
Meanwhile, moderate Republican presidential candidate after moderate Republican presidential candidate has gone down to defeat, even against Democratic presidential candidates who were unpopular (Harry Truman), previously unknown (Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton) or who had a terrible economic track record (Barack Obama).
None of this seems to have caused any second thoughts in the Republican establishment. So long as that remains the case, demography may indeed be destiny and that destiny could be Democratic administrations as far out as the eye can see.
If non-white voters can only be gotten by pandering to them with goodies earmarked for them, then Republicans are doomed, even if they choose to go that route. Why should anyone who wants racially earmarked goodies vote for Republicans, when the Democrats already have a track record of delivering such goodies?
(Excerpt) Read more at creators.com ...
What if it's not about policy.
What if it really about likability.
Reagan had that in spades.
Some moderates who lost last week, heres a few:
Linda McMahon
Scott Brown
Tommy Thompson
...there were more
if being moderate were the key to winning, why didnt they win?
Pravda/Tass USSR kept the subjects ignorant via non-stop one party brain washing.
Pravda/Tass (aka MSM) keeps the subjects ignorant via non-stop one party brain washing.
Plus training the herds to expect ever greater 'gimmies".
Likeability factory? Only a racist or a Liberal (is there a difference?) could think Obama has more likeability than Romney. The debates showed Romney to be a decent guy and Obama (for those lacking a closed, washed brain) a jerk.
The takers are not interested in logic or reason. They will always vote for the ones giving them the most goodies. Since there numbers can now control elections it s game,set match.
We do have something to look forward to. Eventually, the Democrats won't be able to give out any more 'things', and will have to institute biting austerity. Oh, imagine the riots we will have.
Then the red states can just secede and leave them to their own ways.
"But if Republicans continue inarticulate, then it is they who are in big trouble. More important, so is the country."
Reagan could articulate that which was best for all. Something in which the GOPe is NOT interested.
As Mark Stein said: the country voted for a lifestyle they are unwilling to earn. It can't last long. Illinois will be the first to fall.
You are quite right. As long as the doers consent to supporting the slackers; there will be peace of a sort.
But when the last dime has been wrung from the taxpayer that can be extracted from them and the job creators are brought to poverty themselves the riots will begin.
My preference would be to starve the deadbeats and slaggards now while we have something left. Put your assets somewhere beyond their reach until sanity returns to this country. At least use them for your own family before the Democrats take it away from you to feed their useless voting base.
The outcome is not a "surprise" or "unexpected."
As long as half of the people see government as a way to get a free phone, TV, housing and medical care they will elect democrats.
Since Republicans are the party of hard-working, productive intelligent individuals, they will get votes only from hard-working, productive intelligent individuals.
Slackers will vote democrat. democrats want more slackers. democrats don't want hard-working, productive intelligent individuals in their party.
Looks like it will be democrats for a while with the hard-working, productive intelligent individuals supporting the slackers.
Bingo. The majority of voters are either incapable or unwilling to sit and intelligently digest platforms and philosophies. They react to quick bits of information and are remarkably naive in their decision making. Democrats hold the edge in EMOTIONAL arguments, and that makes it very difficult for conservatives or libertarians to make sound counterarguments that will resonate. Like many others here, I think it will come to the 'takers' taking to the point of collapse, and then the reset button will be pushed. In the meanwhile, if you're a person of sound conservative leanings, do what you can to protect your family and yourself from the disastrous consequences.

It's pathetic that the MSM is so in the tank for the Rats and it won't be changing real soon.
Demography is not destiny.
CULTURE is destiny.
The invading barbarians have brought their culture with them, and too much of today's youth have adopted the urban ghetto "gangsta" culture.
Between the two, we ARE doomed.
I'd betcha nobody at the RNC is listening to the man with the plan jaz. Thanks for the ping.
Toothpick, you and I think a lot alike. Too many people vote based on what they are told, not based upon what is true. It's a shame that we can't filter out such people if they are ignorant of political truths. The malleable ignorant voter. Its my strong belief that if only informed voters (those who really had an understanding of political truths... principles of the founding fathers, free-market principles, liberty principles, history of Marxism/ProgressiveIdeology, difference between "right" and "left" etc...) were allowed to vote, that the Democrats would never win another election.
-—"What Republicans need are MORE PEOPLE who look like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Star Parker, Allen West, Lloyd Marcus, and Mia Love who are constantly in the forefront defending our values!"
You are SOOO right. I view that as the ONLY way we can elect a conservative in this ANTI-WHITE racist country.
We need a "Trojan Horse" (like Hermain Cain was to be) to get elected and then thru example and leadership make being conservative "cool."
This country is just too racist (read: anti-White) to elect a white conservative.
Common sense article by Dr. Sowell; common sense, unfortunately, is not very common with the political elites in the Republican party.
His theory is that if we just explain why our policies are better for the voter (because the benefits are not self-evident) they will vote for us.
He's giving them too much credit.
This election has reinforced for me that: The Right hopes that th voters are smart. The Left knows that the voters are stupid.
And frankly what conservative would even want the job ruling over a bunch of stupid people in the first place?
Northwestern U. Marxism conference packed with teachers
GREAT article - there's a reason why Bill Ayers chose to enter the field of "education". It just took one generation to re-program the yutes.
The voters are stupid. The Dems play politics 24/7. Republicans only every election cycle. That puts us at a distinct disadvantage. To convince some poor/minorities to come out way is a very difficult challenge. How do you fight free food? The answer - school vouchers and medical IRAS for the poor. We talk about these things but we never do it. It would not cost more money because we are just shifting existing resources directly into people's hands rather than through government agencies. Half the poor are too damn lazy to want that control. They prefer to be slaves. But the other half we got a shot at. The goal is to implement these things in just one state and make them work. Other states will follow. The Dems will fight these initiatives because they are not about helping poor people but controlling them.
Yes, we need to starve the beast, I would rather put my extra taxed money into a 401k, an IRA or real estate and make tons of capital improvements, than send a dime to DC.
I would rather take the risk of loss, another tax write off, in the stock market or real estate than send anything to DC.

Iran is expanding a promise to insure shipments of its oil to include both Iranian and foreign tankers, in an effort to get around EU sanctions crimping its crude exports, reports said Saturday.
The insurance will be made possible through a new multi-billion-dollar line of state credit, Iran's OPEC representative, Mohammad Ali Khatibi, was quoted as saying.
"Iran is ready to give total insurance for the transport of its oil... and the commitments by Iranian insurers are no different from those by Western insurers and therefore all risks and dangers are insured," state-run newspaper IRAN reported him saying.
Crude buyers have the option of using Iran's fleet of 47 oil tankers or their own, he said.
"Deliveries that don't obtain insurance from other countries will be insured by Iran," Khatibi told the weekly news magazine Mosalas in an interview.
The Fars news agency cited an unnamed official saying the government had given the central state insurance agency, Bimeh Markazi, a line of credit worth several billion dollars to insure the tankers.
It said 10 percent of the money had already been transferred.
The measure expands on a promise of insurance for deliveries of its oil using Iranian tankers to major customers China and India. South Korea is also mulling joining that offer.
Iran is suffering a cut in oil sales abroad of up to 40 percent, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), because of an EU embargo on Iranian crude imports and a related ban on European insurers providing cover for deliveries of Iranian oil anywhere in the world.
European insurers accounted for 90 percent of coverage for Iran before the EU sanctions took effect on July 1.
Iran is striving to maintain a semblance of business as usual in its oil exports.
"Export volumes are the same as before" the sanctions, Khatibi told Mosalas.
By attempting to fill the insurance gap itself, Iran faces several obstacles.
US sanctions targeting Iranian financial transactions worldwide make it unclear how Iran could pay out any claims arising from accidents involving its tankers.
Oil tankers are typically insured for up to $1 billion because of the risk of oil spills.
A European analyst in Tehran noted that the 40 tankers in Iran's fleet owned by the NITC, formerly known as the National Iranian Tanker Company, each had a long-distance capacity of up to two million barrels of oil.
Iran, before the EU sanctions, exported around 2.5 million barrels of oil per day. The IEA estimates that has now been cut to around 1.5 million barrels per day.
Several of the NITC vessels were being used in June to store Iranian offshore crude that Tehran has not been able to sell because of the sanctions, according to industry specialists.
Iran has announced plans to quickly expand its onshore storage capacity, which has been saturated, including by subcontracting to private firms. Tehran has also ordered 12 new supertankers from China and should receive the first in December.

The Self Employed Start Trading In Their Shingles
Aaron BernsteinWhen Gary L. Daugherty lost his job in 1989, he decided to cope in the same way as many other professionals: He became a consultant. Daugherty, 45, had spent most of his career at Nashville-based Aladdin Industries Inc., rising to vice-president for human relations. He soon landed several assignments, including a major one to recruit for a small company in the Northeast. By hustling, Daugherty was able to maintain the pay he had enjoyed at Aladdin. But in July, when a job as vice-president for human resources came up at Gibson Greetings Inc., he grabbed it. Says Daugherty: "The hardest part about being self-employed is finding new work."
Daugherty is not alone. With many white-collar industries hiring again, some self-employed are going back to work for companies, bringing to an end the extraordinary surge in self-employment that began in the 1980s. That, in turn, may force a revision of some popular notions about white-collar workers. Since the recession began, many observers have argued that with big corporations restructuring and thinning the ranks of managers and professionals, the only way for many professionals to survive in the '90s would be to hang out a shingle and go into business for themselves.
NEW WAVE. Today, this theory seems to have parted company with reality. After rising steadily through the 1980s and then shooting up early in the downturn, self-employment among professionals in the past year has dipped. While very large corporations have cut their ranks of professionals and are still shedding workers, small and midsize ones, especially in business services, have been creating white-collar jobs. That's enough to give some of the world's Daughertys a chance to get back into the corporate fold. "If self-employment by managers and professionals was the wave of the future, it's not happening now," notes Andrew M. Sum, a labor economist at Northeastern University.
It's easy to see why analysts believed that the self-employment boom of the 1980s would be fueled by the recession. The economy shed 1.3 million jobs from the third quarter of 1990 to the first quarter of 1991, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And large companies--even many of those in the manufacturing sector--cut white-collar jobs mercilessly. That sent plenty of managers going into business for themselves. It all fit neatly into a longer-term trend toward white-collar self-employment, which grew by 30% from 1982 to 1991, vs. an overall employment gain of just 18% over that period.
RECLASSIFIED. Yet since then, the trend has gone into reverse. From the second quarter of 1991 to the third quarter of this year, white-collar self-employment fell by more than 6%, to 2.9 million (chart).
Where did all those consultants go? BLS surveys don't track the self-employed closely enough to know for sure, so some could have retired or withdrawn from the labor market. And some may simply be reclassifying themselves as employees after the Internal Revenue Service in 1987 began a crackdown on companies that carried contract employees on their books as self-employed. But some are getting jobs again. Headhunters say they're now placing more self-employed professionals in corporate jobs. Says Dan Parker, a vice-president at A.T. Kearney Inc. in Atlanta: "Many of these people are going back to smaller companies, which is where the hiring is."
The sluggish economy still is causing plenty of turmoil for white-collar workers. But hiring by many corporations is increasing, not shrinking. And if there's a company job to be had, many of the self-employed are only too happy to jump at it.

Yesterday morning, AiG staff had the privilege of hearing a special guest speaker expound Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps."
Our guest speaker was Don Green, Managing Director of Grace to You, where he oversees the daily operations of John MacArthur's international media and radio ministry. According to his bio, Don was a litigation attorney in Chicago for several years before leaving his law practice to attend The Master's Seminary, where he completed his M.Div. and Th.M. degrees with highest honors. As an ordained elder at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California (just north of Los Angeles), Don pastors GraceLife, a group of more than 600 adults. He has published several articles on biblical themes.
Don was in the area to meet with a local group that has called him to pastor a church plant in Northern Kentucky—he has accepted that call.
As many of you have expressed interest in being able to listen to presentations given to our staff at their special chapel time, I do make a number of these available to you throughout the year. I encourage you to listen to this challenging and uplifting message from Pastor Don Green. You can listen to this 20-minute powerful message below:AiG staff are often privileged to hear presentations from many well-known Christian leaders at their weekly chapel times.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

Branson Belle Sucked Into Branson Triangle
FairCityNews.com | Dec 13, 2010 | Comments 1
Branson, MO—Saturday night the Showboat Branson Belle fell into the dangerous grip of the Branson Triangle, an area where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly and mysteriously disappear. The Branson Triangle, a region near State Park Marina on Table Rock Lake, was blamed for creating gusts of 45-miles-per-hour and causing a problem with the Belle's propulsion system.
Captain Rotten Swagger said, "I ne'er dare travel down dem Branson Triangle waters. Dey be dark waters indeed." Swagger confirmed that the 4:00 cruise of the Branson Belle was off course and encountered some electronic failures leading to the loss of propulsion causing the ship to run "quiet" and wait for a tug boat's rescue when it was blown into a rocky, ice shoreline.
The 600 stranded passengers and crew were finally unloaded after spending 15 hours on the disabled boat. Louis Gennbrat, a passenger, said, "fortunately we didn't have to resort to spam and pop-tarts to eat, but we did consider which passengers would be most likely to be eaten first. I think most agreed that Todd Oliver and his dogs were at the top of the list to cannibalize."
Strange behavior was reported by other passengers; one woman – saved from an suicide attempt by a poor artist – apparently left her snobby fiancé after spending the night dancing in the bowels of the Belle with said pencil-sketch artist.
Due to confusion and a lack of lifeboats, the artist was the only person unaccounted for and considered perished. The Showboat Branson Belle plans to remedy the lifeboat situation in the future by affixing Ride the Ducks vehicles to the side of the ship.
All stranded passengers were offered refunds as well as ironic free tickets to the Titanic Museum attraction in Branson, MO.

Sports are about RELATIONSHIPS. If you've ever had that feeling of letting that certain someone go, if you find yourself thinking of the one(s) that got away. Then you can relate in a basketball sense to what the Nets have gone through over the years.
Here are the FIVE players that the Nets let go too soon to other teams.
1. Ryan Anderson – The sharpshooting power forward left New Jersey after his rookie year. Anderson has increased his scoring average from 7.4 in his 1st season to 15.9 points per game in 2011-12. Ryan has also develop into a steady rebounder for his position. The Nets will look to re-acquire Anderson as a free agent this summer.
2. Jordan Crawford – Jordan has developed into a reliable scorer throughout his short career. Despite his erratic shot selection, Crawford has become one of the few bright spots on a struggling Wizards team. Jordan has the potential to be a Jason Terry-type player for a winning team.
3. Kyle Korver – This long-range shooter was traded before ever playing a game for the Nets. Kyle has made his career as a three-point threat who helps spread the floor for D. Rose & the Chicago Bulls. Korver averages over 40% from the 3-point line and he once shot a career high 53% in a season.
4. Anthony Parker – This journeyman has established himself as a solid NBA player throughout his nine seasons in the league. Parker is deadly shooter who can play the two, three or four positions. A.P. is a career 40% three-point shooter & around 80% from the free-throw stripe.
5. Derrick Favors – This young power forward was traded for Deron Williams last season. Derrick has formed into a part-time starter for the Jazz. Favors had shown glimpses of his potential to become a monster in the paint for Utah.
Now, grant it none of these players are superstars. Yet, these FIVE players could have helped the Nets form better teams in the past few seasons. Still, Nets fans shouldn't live with regrets about what could have been.

The last of my three cakes in one week. I don't know how some of you make so many cakes in a week. I was so stressed with making the three, and was up until the wee hours of the morning just trying to finish up. I'm happy with how they all turned out, and when they are for friends and family, it's hard to say "no, I don't have time". Little smash cake with gumpaste topper, and 50 assorted cupcakes with daisy, ladybug, and #1 fondant toppers. Carrot cake, chocolate, and vanilla. Thank you so much for looking, and a Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers!!

About this time two years ago, I took my Variax 600 apart. I completely sheilded the coffin with liquid electrical "tape". It worked great, for a while. Then the all the patch banks shifted over one and anything below Special would have something sounding similar to flipping the 5 way really quickly between patches, no matter what position it was on. Per the advice of my tech, I run the thing exclusively on the power supply. At rehearsals and very short gigs, I use the batteries. I have noticed that everytime I use the power supply, I get the problem detailed above. When I use the batteries; not one problem. I know it seems as simple as, "Doctor it hurts when I do this" "Well don't do that", but I actually use the power supply A/B switch to swith acoustics direct to the board... I also have a Roland GK-2a pickup on it and have bound together the TRS cable and the 13 pin cable to run the GR-30 and the Variax. True, I could get another 13 pin, or take the TRS/13pin Snake apart, but if I remember correctly, there was a discussion some time back that faulty power supplies were causing problems similar to the coffin sheilding problem. If that is the case, it seems a spare power supply would be in order. Just curious if anyone has had a similar problem. Thanx.
The Continuing Saga Of The Dreaded Coffin Sheilding... Or Is It?
Posted 17 July 2013 - 10:43 AM
to me it sounds like i would look at the input jack itself, but no i've not had the problem.
Posted 14 September 2013 - 08:31 AM
Ever since I posted this, I have not used the power supply. The Vax has worked flawlessly... until a few weeks ago. It then began doing the same thing I described. I opened up the input jack plate... everything looks fine, but I really don't know what's going on. Nothing is loose and nothing looks damaged or burnt. This, more than likely will require a trip to the service center... I just have to make sure all my other guitars are ready to take over. You don't realize how attached you get to taking just one guitar instead of 3-6.

Different powertrains have different cost reduction potential for Revolutionary+ autos. By 2020, for example, battery electric vehicles would be priced about $6,000 above business-as-usual autos as forecasted by the EIA. However, by 2050, this price difference drops to $500 given movement along manufacturing, battery pack, and composite learning curves with increasing volumes. In 2050, plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles carry the greatest price premium due to their inclusion of both a combustion-based engine/generator and a battery pack capable of 40-mile all electric range. Our battery curve assumes a 2015 price of $400/ kWh dropping ultimately to $165/kWh with 193 million packs produced by 2050. Similarly, our fuel cell curve assumes a 2015 price of $200/kWh dropping ultimately to $48/kWh (consistent with longstanding analyses by General Motors) with 193 million units produced by 2050.

1955-1957 Small Block Chevy Chassis Headers, Plain
Click image to enlarge
Please note the following about this product:
- This item is sold as a set.
Reviews (3)
What's in the Box
These Speedway headers allow you to keep the exhaust system under your '55-'57 Chevy car. The "3/4-length" design provides more ground clearance than full-length headers, yet makes more power than "shorty" style headers. These chassis headers fit 283-400 S/B Chevy V8s and has 1-5/8" primary tubes with 2-1/2" collectors.
- Mid-length design offers maximum ground clearance
- Designed to work with stock or 605 power steering box
- Fits cars using an original V-8 pitman arm (some aftermarket arms may cause an interference)
- Will work with side engine mounts with engine in stock location
- Fits standard and Vortec-style small-block Chevy heads (not D-port, LT-1 or ZZ-4)
- Does not work with stock clutch linkage
- The use of a shorty spark plug may aide in clearance between the plug wire and header primary tubes.
(Please use the chart below to help with dimensions.) Drivers side A dimension is 3-1/2" up by the head and 5-5/8" at the collector, B dimension is 15", and C dimension is 21". Passenger side A dimension is 4" at the head and 6-5/8" at the collector, B is 15", and C is 21".
Dimension Chart (GIF)
These headers do not fit angle-plug heads. They do work with a "605"steering box. They work with most any bellhousing and most any motor mounts. Some aftermarket starters may be in the way. Designed to fit cars using an original V-8 pitman arm. Some aftermarket arms may cause an interference.

I think I'm a 2.5 or 3.0 if that matters (I really have no clue). I would say even lower because I never really get to play lol.
Anyways, right now, I'm pretty much free almost all the time so if you wanna play, please contact me and let me know your schedule.

Albatron is showing off their PCI based graphic cards. These use the Geforce 8500 and 8600 GPUs as well as an additional chip on the rear, which translates the PCIe interface of the GPU to PCI and back. These are low profile and feature the usual spec's of their PCIe counterparts and use active cooling. Albatron also offers AGP variants for these cards. Considering the fact, that mini-ITX board usually come with a PCI slot, these should make for some interesting combinations. The company does make other products as well. A 22 inch IR based touch screen monitor can be viewed and tried out as well. It supports multi-touch and should come at a siginficantly lower price as smaller, capacitor based touch screens. Besides these parts, they are also showing off P45 and X48 boards, as well as mini-ITX boards for various chipsets, using Intel G945 and AMD 690G chipsets. Source: Albatron
The touch screen is only a demo of a small unit and it's actually using IR technology, not resistor based touch screen technology. You can see a video of it in action here http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Fudzi...tiTouchDisplayVideo/photo#5207684690927739634
It is actually 22 inches large, but can be applied to much larger screens as well. I have no Idea why I wrote resistor it is late...thanx
I guess it's just that the input would feel more natural than using a mouse. I think there were a few cards from the previous generation based upon PCI and PCIe x1, and they performed horribly compared to the PCIe version, but really, it is to be expected. Still, they were at least found to be a good compromise for some. A mITX system would certainly gain from a graphics boost.
miniITX and also those computers out there of the P4 Dell Era with no AGP/PCIe slots but there CPU's can handle HD content
this PCI-E on PCI card system would rock for updating this POS Dell so I can use it as a backup rig for when friends come over


text: At the weekend I featured a music video made for a pittance by a talented guy who wants to break into the business. Then I featured a movie made by a fan who happens to be a professional. Now it is There's a Light drawn, directed and animated entirely by the artist himself, Reno Bo, using iMovie, the video editing software. Reno is ex-Mooney Suzuki & ex-Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes. In the publicist's blurb "the video combines elements of modern psychedelia with child-like imagery reminiscent of classic 60's and 70's animation such as Schoolhouse Rock, Monty Python, Yellow Submarine and the drawings of Shel Silverstein." I had a healthy scepticism about such claims but in fact the film is an accomplished piece and should singer stop singing there is an alternative if less lucrative career awaiting. Little boy follows butterfly, seizes balloon and is carried high above a series of montage images that certainly have leanings towards the illustrious antecedents mentioned above. Reno has had fun using text as the lyrics are presented imaginatively. As for the music, there's something of the embryonic rock anthem about it and no bad thing to attach one's song to the greats.

Affleck's star-power saw a huge decline in the wake of failed big-budget films Paycheck, Surviving Christmas, and Daredevil. However, Affleck's prestige has seen a huge surge once again on the backs of the films Gone Baby Gone, The Town, and Argo – the first two he also wrote. Even before last year's Argo won Best Picture at the Oscars, the studios have continued to be impressed with Affleck's work and the opportunity to have him direct a potential Justice League film seems almost assured to be a huge factor in the recent choice to cast Affleck.
However, even if fans don't cool to the idea of Affleck playing Batman, there's at least one rumored casting choice that fans everywhere seem to agree with: Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor. If rumors flying around the Internet are to be believed, the role seems to be Cranston's at this point with an official announcement theorized to be after the series finale of Breaking Bad.
Rumors indicate a potential six "appearance" movie deal at the very least, with some saying it could be as high as ten, which is being likened to the deal that Samuel Jackson has for Marvel and Disney's (NYSE:DIS) The Avengers for his Nick Fury role. And by Monday, the rumors surrounding Cranston's deal were being reported by several mainstream publications, including Rolling Stone.

St. Patrick's day is quickly approaching us and because of this there will be a lot of drunk Irish men and woman roaming the streets as they stagger out of bars and taverns across the world. I wanted to do something for St. Patty's day that wasn't just a typical shamrock or leprechaun. Instead, I thought of one thing that I remember seeing and hearing about all the time as I was growing up as a kid. It is a piece of jewelry that has been a part of Irish culture for centuries and will stay with their culture for centuries more. Here is my interpretation of "how to draw a Claddagh ring", step by step. I was going to make a tattoo style ring, but then I thought a traditional design might be better because the finished drawing can be given to a loved one for a gift on St. Patrick's Day. The history behind these rings date back to over three hundred years ago and the fantastic thing about the history, is how much of tradition is behind the Claddagh ring. Even though there is so much behind a simple ring, questions like where did the Claddagh come from originally, and what is the meaning behind the ring itself. Well I think I can answer some of those questions for you. First off the ring originated in a small fishing village called 'Claddagh' and it is there where the traditions behind the ring started. As for the meaning and how the ring is worn, well from what I understand there is three ways to wear this ring. The first way is to wear the ring is in a manner if you where engaged or married. The individual wearing the ring should be worn on the left hand with the crown pointing away from the heart of the person wearing the ring. Another way to wear it is on the right hand with the crown pointing away from the heart which signifies a person that is at a time in their life that they are willing to except love. Then there is the way that people wear the Claddagh which is worn on the right hand again, but this time the crown is pointing towards the heart. This means that the person wearing the ring is not interested in starting a relationship. As you can see there is many meanings behind the ring and there is even more meanings that I don't know about because I'm not familiar with Irish culture. All I can do is teach you the process to drawing a Claddagh ring or your own. I will be back with one last lesson so stay tuned in to see what it is. Peace out and enjoy!

hey folks,
im actually more interested in learning to develop with max for live rather then looking for someone that would program me a plugin or teach me the basics. But, … since my time has been very limited in the past i wonder if there are any developers out here how i can hire to teach or program a plugin for me. What i want to program is basically similar to the 2 surround plugins in the max for live repo – i think its not that complicated. So if anybody is interested to collaborate shoot me a line.
Im located in Granada, SPAIN.

Press Release
From: Marshall Space Flight Center
Posted: Wednesday, October 20, 2004
Something strange happened on the sun last week: all the sunspots vanished. This is a sign, say scientists, that solar minimum is coming sooner than expected.
October 18, 2004: Six ... long ... years.
Solar physicist David Hathaway has been checking the sun every day since 1998, and every day for six years there have been sunspots. Sunspots are planet-sized "islands" on the surface of the sun. They are dark, cool, powerfully magnetized, and fleeting: a typical sunspot lasts only a few days or weeks before it breaks up. As soon as one disappears, however, another emerges to take its place.
Even during the lowest ebb of solar activity, you can usually find one or two spots on the sun. But when Hathaway looked on Jan. 28, 2004, there were none. The sun was utterly blank.
It happened again last week, twice, on Oct. 11th and 12th. There were no sunspots.
"This is a sign," says Hathaway, "that the solar minimum is coming, and it's coming sooner than we expected."
Solar minimum and solar maximum--"Solar Min" and "Solar Max" for short--are two extremes of the sun's 11-year activity cycle. At maximum, the sun is peppered with spots, solar flares erupt, and the sun hurls billion-ton clouds of electrified gas toward Earth. It's a good time for sky watchers who enjoy auroras, but not so good for astronauts who have to be wary of radiation storms. Power outages, zapped satellites, malfunctioning GPS receivers--these are just a few of the things that can happen during Solar Max.
Solar minimum is different. Sunspots are fewer--sometimes days or weeks go by without a spot. Solar flares subside. It's a safer time to travel through space, and a less interesting time to watch polar skies.
Hathaway is an expert forecaster of the solar cycle. He keeps track of sunspot numbers (the best known indicator of solar activity) and predicts years in advance when the next peaks and valleys will come. It's not easy:
"Contrary to popular belief," says Hathaway, "the solar cycle is not precisely 11 years long." Its length, measured from minimum to minimum, varies: "The shortest cycles are 9 years, and the longest ones are about 14 years." What makes a cycle long or short? Researchers aren't sure. "We won't even know if the current cycle is long or short--until it's over," he says.
But researchers are making progress. Hathaway and colleague Bob Wilson, both working at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, believe they've found a simple way to predict the date of the next solar minimum. "We examined data from the last 8 solar cycles and discovered that Solar Min follows the first spotless day after Solar Max by 34 months," explains Hathaway.
The most recent solar maximum was in late 2000. The first spotless day after that was Jan 28, 2004. So, using Hathaway and Wilson's simple rule, solar minimum should arrive in late 2006. That's about a year earlier than previously thought.
The next solar maximum might come early, too, says Hathaway. "Solar activity intensifies rapidly after solar minimum. In recent cycles, Solar Max has followed Solar Min by just 4 years." Do the math: 2006 + 4 years = 2010.
By that time, according to NASA's new vision for space exploration, robot ships will be heading for the moon in advance of human explorers. If Hathaway and Wilson's prediction is correct, those robots will need good shields. Solar flares and radiation storms can damage silicon brains and electronic guts almost as badly as their organic counterparts.
For now, says Hathaway, we're about to experience "the calm before the storm." And although he's a fan of solar activity--what solar physicist isn't?--he's looking forward to the lull. "It'll give us a chance to see if our 'spotless sun' method for predicting solar minimum really works."
Solar Max will be back soon enough.

text: Dealers Ordered To Stop Selling Some 2015 Volkswagen GTIs Over DefectPatrick George7/08/14 9:21amFiled to: 2015 volkswagen gtirecalls1427EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink It turns out safety issues, recalls and stop-sale orders aren't just for General Motors vehicles. Who'da thunk it? Volkswagen has confirmed it has ordered dealers to stop selling about 800 2015 Volkswagen GTI models over a suspension issue. Volkswagen of America spokesman Mark Gillies confirmed to Jalopnik that about 800 cars currently on dealer lots are being pulled due to the potential for the front stabilizer link fasteners to become loose. If this happens it could affect the GTI's steering, Gillies said. Advertisement Advertisement No crashes, fires or injuries have been reported, he said, and Volkswagen plans to notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the issue. Current owners of the new car will get a notice in the mail about a recall. Volkswagen will replace the front stabilizer links at no charge.Gillies said that some cars currently on dealer lots are not affected by this issue, presumably because they have the corrected parts installed already. Has anyone bought the new GTI and/or encountered this issue?Reply142 repliesLeave a reply

Drug Offenders:
Various Factors May Limit the Impacts of Federal Laws That Provide for Denial of Selected Benefits
GAO-05-238: Published: Sep 26, 2005. Publicly Released: Sep 26, 2005.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2758
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Several provisions of federal law allow for or require certain federal benefits to be denied to individuals convicted of drug offenses in federal or state courts. These benefits include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), food stamps, federally assisted housing, postsecondary education assistance, and some federal contracts and licenses. Given the sizable population of drug offenders in the United States, the number and the impacts of federal denial of benefit provisions may be particularly important if the operations of these provisions work at cross purposes with recent federal initiatives intended to ease prisoner reentry and foster prisoner reintegration into society. GAO analyzed (1) for selected years, the number and percentage of drug offenders that were estimated to be denied federal postsecondary education and federally assisted housing benefits and federal grants, contracts, and licenses and (2) the factors affecting whether drug offenders would have been eligible to receive TANF and food stamp benefits, but for their drug offense convictions, and for a recent year, the percentage of drug offenders released who would have been eligible to receive these benefits. Several agencies reviewed a draft of this report, and we incorporated the technical comments that some provided into the report where appropriate.
For the years for which it obtained data, GAO estimates that relatively small percentages of applicants but thousands of persons were denied postsecondary education benefits, federally assisted housing, or selected licenses and contracts as a result of federal laws that provide for denying benefits to drug offenders. During academic year 2003-2004, about 41,000 applicants (or 0.3 percent of all applicants) were disqualified from receiving postsecondary education loans and grants because of drug convictions. For 2003, 13 of the largest public housing agencies in the nation reported that less than 6 percent of 9,249 lease terminations that occurred in these agencies were for reasons of drug-related criminal activities--such as illegal distribution or use of a controlled substance--and 15 large public housing agencies reported that about 5 percent of 29,459 applications for admission were denied admission for these reasons. From 1990 through the second quarter of 2004, judges in federal and state courts were reported to have imposed sanctions to deny benefits such as federal licenses, grants, and contracts to about 600 convicted drug offenders per year. Various factors affect which convicted drug felons are eligible to receive TANF or food stamps. This is because state of residence, income, and family situation all play a role in determining eligibility. Federal law mandates that convicted drug felons face a lifetime ban on receipt of TANF and food stamps unless states pass laws to exempt some or all convicted drug felons in their state from the ban. At the time of GAO's review, 32 states had laws exempting some or all convicted drug felons from the ban on TANF, and 35 states had laws modifying the federal ban on food stamps. Because of the eligibility requirements associated with receiving these benefits, only those convicted drug felons who, but for their conviction, would have been eligible to receive the benefits could be affected by the federal bans. For example, TANF eligibility criteria include requirements that an applicant have custodial care of a child and that income be below state-determined eligibility thresholds. Available data for 14 of 18 states that fully implemented the ban on TANF indicate that about 15 percent of drug offenders released from prison in 2001 met key eligibility requirements and constitute the pool of potentially affected drug felons. Proportionally more female drug felons than males may be affected by the ban, as about 27 percent of female and 15 percent of male drug offenders released from prison in 2001 could be affected.

Confederate Ancestors Fed Up
8 comments:
You are the first American I've ever encountered to know about the Confederados! I lived in Santa Barbara d'Oeste for a year when I was in high school and participated in the annual festival at the Campos cemetery. It was a big deal and appeared on their TV news. Thanks for sharing this info on your blog. It brought me back to that special time and place in my life.
DionneHello Kathleen,
I just left Thomases' blog, GeneaBloggers where he wrote in glowing terms about your blog. I'm so glad he has introduced you. I'm like the others who have commented above, I had no idea about the numbers of people leaving for Brazil after the Civil War. I found one of my ancestors arriving in New York and the manifesto said he was arriving from Brazil. I found myself imagining why he had gone there. Never did find out or come to a good conclusion. Now I will go back and look at this one a little more closely.

I'd like to see a way to filter objects that will be included in the documentation. Some of my databases contain many dynamically generated but permanent tables. These follow a known naming pattern, so I could easily construct a filter to exclude them from my documentation.
Basically, I'm suggesting that you port the object filter capability from SQL Compare to SQL Doc.

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards are coming at you live on ABC for 3+ hours Sunday (Feb. 27) and Zap2it is here with you for every sparkly minute of the festivities.
Is it a foregone conclusion that the big prizes go to "The King's Speech," Colin Firth, Natalie Portman and David Fincher? We'd love to see an upset, but we aren't holding our breath.
The fun starts at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT. All times Eastern.
8:08 p.m. – T-minus 22 minutes 'til Oscar time. Who has been your favorite red carpet lady? We think Natalie Portman, Jennifer Hudson, Mandy Moore and Hailee Steinfeld look gorgeous. We are more divided at the Zap2it offices on Cate Blanchett's purple gown.
8:16 p.m. – Film critic Ben Mankiewicz just said on the red carpet that Colin Firth is a lock to win Best Actor. Fine. But he says it's as though the Green Bay Packers were playing a high school football and not even a very good high school football team, that's how much of a lock it is. We're not sure Franco, Eisenberg, Bridges and Bardem = not-very-good HS football team.
8:30 p.m. – Well, this is ominous. The telecast is showing clips of the Best Picture nominees set to "Hall of the Mountain King," which I always associate with Fritz Lang's "M." (Look it up.)
8:35 p.m. – The Hathaway/Franco opening video montage was cute. We didn't laugh out loud until "The Fighter" and "True Grit" parts, though. "The Guy from 'General Hospital'" line was a nice touch. Seriously, how weird is James Franco for doing that?
8:38 p.m. – Can't not love a "Back to the Future" insert, even if it's totally random.
8:42 p.m. – The Hathaway/Franco opening monologue is cringe-worthy. This "casual chit-chat" instead of Ricky Gervais being "mean" is no good. At least Gervais made us laugh.
8:45 p.m. – Kicking things off with an award that only the nominees and their mothers care about, Art Direction goes to "Alice in Wonderland." They spent three minutes prepping this award using shots from "Gone With the Wind" and "Titanic." Because this telecast isn't long enough.
8:48 p.m. – Keeping up with the Do the Boring Ones First theme, Best Cinematography goes to Wally Pfister ("Inception"). Excited to see "Inception" win something, it was such a good film. But bummer for Roger Deakins ("True Grit") because he's amazing and has been nominated nine times and never won.
8:51 p.m. – Kirk Douglas in the house. Over/under on number of tweets surprised that he is still alive – 200,000. Of course, he's funnier in 2 minutes than the opening monologue was.
8:55 p.m. – Mr. Douglas gives Best Supporting Actress to Melissa Leo. No big surprise there, she's won everything else. But my upset pick was Hailee Steinfeld.
8:59 p.m. – In her acceptance speech, Melissa Leo alternately sort-of grabs the Oscar from Kirk, hits on him, meanders through her speech, drops an F-bomb, yells something at the end about respect, then steals Kirk's cane and hobbles off-stage with him.
9:03 p.m. – Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake have a weird intro for Best Animated Short before awarding the Oscar to "The Lost Thing." Then the film-making version of "Twins" take the stage to accept the award.
9:08 p.m. – Mila and JT then award the Best Animated Feature Film to "Toy Story 3." Yay! What an excellent movie. Director Lee Unkrich accepts the award by thanking the audience that supported talking toys who "hopefully had something very human to say." Aww, we're getting teary just thinking about it.
9:14 p.m. – Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin are white tux twinsies in the best episode of "Party Down" ever as they award Best Adapted Screenplay to Aaron Sorkin for "The Social Network." This speech should be good.
9:18 p.m. – Javy and Josh award Best Original Screenplay to David Seidler for "The King's Speech." Since Nolan got snubbed on Best Director, we were kinda hoping he's swoop in and get this one.
9:25 p.m. – Anne Hathaway wants to do another duet with Hugh Jackman, but since he "won't," she sings "On My Own" instead with made-up words. Seriously, WTF. That was neither funny nor served any functional purpose. Then Franco comes out dressed like Marilyn Monroe, which doesn't make it any funnier. The obligatory Charlie Sheen joke doesn't even save the bit.
9:28 p.m. – Russell Brand and Helen Mirren give Best Foreign Language Film to "In a Better World" (Denmark). Did we see a clip in that nominee montage of a man going after a cat with pruning shears while two girls screamed? That's terrifying.
9:30 p.m. – This is Andrea Reiher signing off, turning things over to the capable hands of Rick Porter. Thanks, y'all!
9:33 p.m. – As expected, Christian Bale wins best supporting actor for "The Fighter." He jokes that he's not going to drop an F-bomb like co-star Melissa Leo did — "I've done that plenty of times before." Well played, Batman. Also: He tears up while thanking his wife, "my mast through the storms of life." Aww.
9:38 p.m. – Go get your sandwiches now, folks! Academy president Tom Sherak is on stage. So is Disney/ABC honcho Anne Sweeney, talking about their renewal of the broadcast rights through 2020.
9:42 p.m. – Whoops. That didn't take long. Hathaway forgives Hugh Jackman ("We made out backstage") as she introduces him and Nicole Kidman. After an overlong montage about sound and music in movies, they present the award for best original score to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for "The Social Network."
9:45 p.m. – Franco says he's six degrees of Kevin Bacon away from the next two presenters, Matthew McConaughey and Scarlett Johansson. "Look it up on the Internet," he says. OK, we will.
9:47 p.m. – In the meantime, "Inception" wins the Oscar for best sound editing.
9:49 p.m. – "Inception" also wins for sound effects editing, as Johansson and McConaughey talk all over each other in their presentation.
9:55 p.m. – Marisa Tomei and her giant dress summarizes the sci-tech awards. Kudos to you, innovators of bounce-light technology, facial motion-capture and other stuff. "All right," Franco says. "Congratulations, nerds."
9:56 p.m. – Ladies and gentlemen, Oscar winner "The Wolfman." For reals — it wins for best makeup. (Even though presenter Cate Blanchett said, "That's gross" after seeing a wolfman transformation.)
9:59 p.m. – "Alice in Wonderland" gets its second award of the night, for Colleen Atwood's costumes.
10:01 p.m. – Best original song time, introduced by a bunch of people at Hollywood & Highland (down the street from the Kodak) talking about their favorite movie songs. And also: Barack Obama. Really? 'K. Anyway, he likes "As Time Goes By."
10:02 p.m. – Kevin Spacey sings, then says "Good evening, I'm George Clooney." Oof.
10:05 p.m. –
Hey, everyone, it's "Chuck"! Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore sing the nominated song "I See the Light" from "Tangled." "Chuck" airs at 8 p.m. ET Mondays on NBC, btw.
10:07 p.m. – So, circling back to Franco's Kevin Bacon comment: According to The Oracle of Bacon, he only has a Bacon Number of 2, and his connection is neither through Johansson nor McConaughey. It's through Sonja Bennett, who co-stars with Franco in "Rise of the Apes" later this year and appeared with Bacon in "Where the Truth Lies."
10:12 p.m. – "Shorts are also the hardest pick on your home Oscar ballot," presenter Jake Gyllenhaal notes. He ain't lyin'.
10:15 p.m. – "Strangers So More" wins the Oscar for documentary short. The narrative short subject award goes to "God of Love," whose writer-director-star Luke Matheny says, "Wow — I shoulda got a haircut."
10:18 p.m. – Best use of auto-tune ever.
10:19 p.m. – Anne Hathaway is snitting next to Borpoh!
10:21 p.m. – La Winfrey presents best documentary feature to Charles Ferguson's "Inside Job."
10:27 p.m. – It's many-time Oscar host Billy Crystal. "Some things never change — the producers have asked me tell you we're running a little long." Joke, joke, joke, by way of introducing a tribute to even more many-time Oscar host Bob Hope. Clip package!
10:31 p.m. – OK, that was kind of creepy. Beyond-the-grave Bob Hope introduces presenters Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, who give the award for best visual effects.
10:32 p.m. – Great bit with Downey and Law, as RDJ "gripes" about effects people keeping him hanging from wires all day and stuff. "If it wasn't for them," Law retorts, "the closest you would have ever gotten to a superhero is in 2001 in a cheap motel room with a woman dressed as Batgirl." Fantastic.
10:34 p.m. – "Inception" wins the visual effects Oscar, its fourth of the night.
10:35 p.m. – Downey: "Jude Law no longer has a ride to the after-party, if anyone's interested." And then: Best editing to "The Social Network."
10:38 p.m. – Rick Porter signing off. The lovely and talented Jethro Nededog will take you to the end of the show.
