A Daring Desire
Dare Menage Series Book 4
by Jeanne St. James
Genre: Adult MFM Romance
Gryff Ward made a serious mistake when he hired the hot-as-hell defense attorney Rayne Jordan as an associate in his high-profile legal firm, even though she's one of the best. Now he's struggling to keep it professional, especially when she insists on calling him "Boss."
Rayne's been attracted to the firm's top attorney ever since her interview. And she's well aware that calling the conservative man "Boss" drives him crazy…in a very good way.
Add Trey Holloway, their newest client, a troubled NFL quarterback, into the mix. Tension arises when it's clear that both Gryff and Trey want Rayne and Gryff is willing to fight for her. However, Trey doesn't hide the fact that he wants Gryff too.
Now Gryff's having a hard time fighting not only his attraction to Rayne but to another man. Even though he stubbornly refuses to admit his deepest, darkest desires.
Then Rayne takes control. She's determined to have them both in not only her bed but her life, and she won't give up until she does.
Note: This book in the series can be read as standalone. It includes an HEA ending. It is intended for audiences over 18 years of age since it includes explicit sexual scenes between all three characters.

We shot a fashion spread for our favorite magazine Monster Children that hits store this week. I can't begin to tell you how proud we are of these photos and how excited we are that Monster Children gave us the space in their magazine to share them. There's also one of the best photos I've ever seen on the cover. We'll post more soon.

The chairman of the House's top energy committee says it might be time to bring competition back to Vermont's electricity market.
Rep. Tony Klein, an East Montpelier Democrat, said Tuesday that he'll entertain a proposal to partially deregulate the state's utility market, and allow the state's largest corporate consumers of electricity to negotiate with power dealers outside their service territory.
The proposal comes as large electricity customers bemoan the cost of power than can account for as much as 20 percent of their operating expenses.
"I want to talk about creating a program, a model program, where some of the larger industries can benefit from a deregulated power market for some of their power needs," Klein said while attending an annual meeting of the Associated Industries of Vermont. "It would be a big deal, but it's something to think about, because the world is changing."
Klein said he's discussed the idea with the Department of Public Service and the Agency of Commerce.
Under the proposal, still in conceptual form, industrial customers would continue to pay the transmission-infrastructure fees assessed by the public utility in whose service territory they reside. But Klein says customers would be able to broker deals for the power flowing through those lines with whatever entity offered the lowest price.

A successful graduate of our program will be eligible for an additional 2 years clinical cardiology training that will allow the trainee to sit for the cardiology board examination. A one-year peripheral vascular interventional training program also is available after successful completion of the vascular medicine training program.
The clinical component of the Vascular Medicine-Clinical Research Training Program is based on the existing vascular medicine training program. Dr. Roger Shepherd is the director of the Vascular Medicine clinical training. Both required and elective clinical rotations are described below. Following completion of the clinical training, the trainee will be required to take the Vascular Medicine Board Examination and strongly recommended to pursue the Registered Vascular Technician (RVT) diploma.
Clinical Rotations in Vascular Diseases
Required clinical rotations will include: Vascular consults (outpatient and inpatient), Vascular Laboratory, Vascular Surgery, Vascular Radiology, Wound Care Clinic, and Thrombophilia Clinic. In addition, a series of elective rotations will be available for trainees to choose from including the Vasculitis Clinic, Early Atherosclerosis Clinic, Vein Clinic, Neurovascular Clinic, Lymphedema Clinic, A-V Malformation Clinic, Coagulation Laboratory and Clinic and Vascular Pathology. Each rotation is allotted a one month block, however this duration is flexible based on the needs of the trainee.
Required Clinical Rotations
Duplex ultrasound has become a cornerstone in the evaluation of many if not all vascular disease processes. Hence it is mandatory that the trainee get adequate exposure to this modality of vascular testing. It is expected that the trainee will develop an appreciation for the types of ultrasound imaging studies currently available as well as the strengths and potential pitfalls of this type of imaging modality. Vascular Ultrasound is also located within the Gonda Vascular Center distinct from but adjacent to the Vascular Laboratory. This laboratory encompasses 2,850 square feet with 14 examination rooms fully equipped with the latest Acuson Sequoia ultrasound machines. This laboratory is staffed by five vascular radiologists and 40 sonographers all extensively trained in vascular ultrasound (RVT certified). In 1994, Mayo Clinic began its own sonographer school to train the many sonographers needed to staff the busy ultrasound practice. The majority of studies performed in this area include aneurysm screening, carotid ultrasound, venous ultrasound for deep venous thrombosis and venous incompetence, vascular bypass graft surveillance, and renal ultrasound. In 2004, 13,689 procedures were performed in the Vascular Ultrasound laboratory.

Files compressed for upload. Prints made directly from Ultra High Definition originals.
Posters are prints of images or text, used for decoration, advertisement, or education. Many of our posters are reproductions of classic images and artworks, while some are original works. Add color and character to your home, office, classroom or other personal space.
Our posters are produced by printing on professional-grade art paper, in very high resolution, with Canon LUCIA EX pigment inks. Posters can be displayed as-is, by hanging directly on a wall, and are also suitable for framing.
Choose from three available finishes: matte, high gloss, or satin. Some images may not be available in every finish.
Matte finish reduces reflection from light sources and is the least susceptible to fingerprints. The trade-off is a minor reduction in color vibrancy. If the poster is going to be in a brightly-lit area where readability is a major concern, matte might be the preferable finish.
Gloss finish offers a dramatic or classy feel, which is why many movie posters and photographs are printed in high-gloss. Gloss finish media has a shiny appearance which excels at showing the details and colors of the image, but can create a glare when it reflects bright light, potentially obscuring the detail. If displayed unframed, glossy media is also the most susceptible to fingerprints.
Satin, also known as luster or semi-gloss finish, can be thought of as a midway point between matte and gloss finishes in all areas. Less dramatic and striking than gloss, but also with less glare. Often appropriate for reproductions of paintings.
Our posters are supplied rolled, ready for framing or mounting with any commonly available method.
All of the gallery wraps and posters that we sell are produced on equipment sold and serviced by our sister company, Dorado Graphix LLC.
Canvas wraps are an elegant, frame-less presentation for an art canvas. An image is applied directly onto the canvas, which is then wrapped tightly around a wooden structure called stretcher or strainer bars. Wraps therefore have a printed image not only on the front of the canvas, but also carrying over onto the sides. The "wrapped" imagery on the sides may be a continuation or reflection of the main image, or a solid color or gradient that compliments the main image. On our site, we usually distinguish between the different types using industry standard terms as follows:
Gallery Wraps
Gallery Wraps have an image on the sides of the canvas. For some images, this is merely the continuation of the image on the front, literally wrapped around the sides to the back. In other cases, where this is inappropriate because the main subject of the image is too close to one or more of the edges, the sides may show a reflection of the main image or gradient of the the image's main colors, giving the impression of a seamless continuation of the image without spoiling the subject.
Museum Wraps
In some cases, the best presentation of a canvas wrap is to simply have a solid color on the edges rather than any image. The color may be matched to a major color in the image or complimentary to the image. Wraps with a solid color around the sides are referred to as Museum Wraps.
Our canvas wraps are produced by printing on professional-grade canvas in very high resolution with Canon LUCIA EX pigment inks. The canvases are then secured over solid wood stretcher bars, keeping the canvas from bowing or bending over time.
All of the canvas wraps and posters that we sell are produced on equipment sold and serviced by our sister company, Dorado Graphix LLC.
At Artful Underground, we use the term Photographic Gloss to denote the very highest quality printing. Whether or not the original image is actually a photograph, generally our art can be reproduced as either a poster or canvas wrap. The highest resolution images with the most detail and color gradation can benefit from an even more specialized technique, representing the ultimate state-of-the-art in printing technology. Framing is recommended for these prints.
Photographic Gloss products are always reproduced on a Canon PRO-series printer using the Lucia Pro Ink System. This state-of-the-art system uses 11 colors plus Canon's Chroma Optimizer. By being applied over the printed image to cover the bumps between ink droplets, Chroma Optimizer levels the ink droplet height to form a flat and smooth ink layer. The result is evenly reflected light, deep blacks, and bright, saturated colors. This allows our glossy photographs to be viewed at their highest quality in any lighting condition and is something most competitors simply cannot match.
We use the highest quality, professional-grade archival photography substrates available. This ensures excellent durability as well as extraordinary color performance with vivid colors and firm blacks. This is a much heaver weight medium than the gloss used for poster printing.
All of the equipment, ink, and paper used on Artful Underground is available from our sister company Dorado Graphix LLC.

From travel bans and social media scrutiny to what happens if you admit smoking marijuana or get caught in a lie, here are six things about U.S. border rules you should know.
1. The Trump travel ban
Anyone holding a Canadian passport should theoretically be fine, but things could still be uncomfortable for a person born or raised in one of the banned countries who now is a Canadian citizen.
2. Your life is an open book
The idea of giving a border guard your social media passwords might seem like a hill worth dying on. But unless you're willing to risk future access to the U.S., you should make peace with the idea that there are just no secrets at the border.
3. Don't get caught lying
If you get caught lying to a U.S. border official, chances are you'll be banned for life from entry. Somewhere down the line you might be able to obtain a waiver and get in, but it will be an expensive hassle.
4. The marijuana Catch-22
While lying could get you banned, there is also an increasingly common scenario where being truthful can do the same. A lesser-known border rule is that if you admit to the elements of what would be considered a crime in the U.S., you can be inadmissible for life.
5. Know your rights, or lack thereof
You do have some options if things become uncomfortable. If you've decided you don't want to answer certain questions or unlock your phone, you can simply withdraw your application to enter, and cancel your trip.
6. The common sense part
Now that you're on the edge of panic about your U.S. trip, take a breath. The fact is that the vast majority of Canadians who try to cross into the United States do so with little or no problem. Canadians make more than 30 million cross-border trips a year, and the U.S. is in no hurry to turn away our tourism dollars.

Before you read my thoughts on the subject, here is what Thoreau wrote in 1854:
I don't learn anything in the news. It's the same content regurgitated with changed names and places. That's boring. That's a waste of my productivity.
Instead, I click over to Twitter where I follow a few hundred curated souls and peruse what they're talking about. If there's anything important in the world for me to know, they will share the same links. This is known as social proof. More often than not, they're saying the same things every day which tells me there's nothing new going on.
Besides, even when there is something worth knowing, it tends to be irrelevant in the sense learning it doesn't change my life. News is bad for you so stop reading and start living.

1976 was a good year if you were a blaxploitation film. The genre was riding high and just about all of the films were turning a profit. It was an even better year if you were a blaxploitation film with an amazing soundtrack. The movie best fitting that bill was CAR WASH.
Michael Schultz, the man behind the camera that has given BADMOVIEART lots of lovin'( CARBON COPY, THE LAST DRAGON, SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND) almost doesn't seem to know what he has on his hands and somehow it works. With a surprisingly tigh script by Joel Schumacher, CAR WASH is at one minute fluff and witty, then suddenly is hardcore and gritty. The balance between both feelings are so well done that it doesn't seem jarring at all. You almost don't even notice it until it is done.
CAR WASH is one of those great " a day in the life of" movies. It starts when the work bell rings and ends just after closing. Within that day we see a parade of customers ranging from the well to do to the hobos that live around the corner. We catches glimpses of the employees that work at the CAR WASH throughout the movie, but never staying to long on one and never really getting the whole story. Little moments ranging from silly love stories to the hearbreak of a father trying to do what is right all are played with sincerity and full of honest and humble emotions. Something that I never ever thought I would see from the writer of DYING YOUNG.
The two characters that truly hold the movie together are two of the ones with the least amount of lines and screentime, but everytime you see them, you heart races with joy! First is Marlene. We first see Marlene asleep in a taxi. When she wakes up and realizes that she doesn't know where she is or how she is going to pay for the taxi, she bails and hides out at the car wash. She spends the entire day there, washing her clothes in the bathroom, lounging around, giving out blowjobs and sipping beer through straws. Truly, a woman after my own heart. Her bored and mindless journey through the car wash sums up the feelings of the workers there. Lost souls trying to connect somehow in this weird sudsy world.
Next up is Calvin. The character of Calvin is from the heavens. Calvin is this nightmare child who runs around the city block, tormenting just about everyone in sight. Armed with only his skateboard and his sassy tongue, Calvin will read you to flith in one second and then skate away. He pops up at the best times during the movie to give the entire cast raspberry after raspberry. No one is safe from Calvin. Strangely enough, this was Calvin's only film credits besides being a dancer in SING (which i love!).
Hot topics such as racism, homosexuality, poverty, religion and damning the man, are all touched on, but quickly dismissed, because at the end of the day, all that matters is that the car is washed to perfection. CAR WASH cannot be mentioned without discussing its soundtrack. Rose Royce pumps tune after amazing tune on the soundtrack and the film pulls off its biggest coup. Two of the employees are practicing for a their two man singing/dancing gig and what better place to practice, but at work. Randomly, you will see these two men busting out dance moves in the background, giving the film a strange musical feel to it.
CAR WASH surprised me with just how big its heart was and it was actually in the right place. And the POINTER SISTERS are in it!!

Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes in May fell one point to 45, from a downwardly revised April reading of 46, on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index released Thursday.
The reading is now at a 12-month low, and this is the fifth month in a row that the index missed expectations.
"After four months in which the HMI has shown little signs of fluctuation, it is clear that builder sentiment is becoming more in line with the market reality of a continuing but modest recovery," said NAHB chairman Kevin Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. "However, builders expressed some optimism that sales will pick up in the coming months."
Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as "good," "fair" or "poor." The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as "high to very high," "average" or "low to very low." Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.
"Builders are waiting for consumers to feel more secure about their financial situation," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "Once job growth becomes more consistent, consumers will return to the market in larger numbers and that will boost builder confidence."
The index's components were mixed in May. The component gauging sales expectations in the next six months rose one point to 57 and the component measuring buyer traffic increased two points to 33. The component gauging current sales conditions fell two points to 48.
Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the South rose one point to 48 while the Midwest fell a single point to 47 and the West posted a four-point drop to 47. The Northeast held steady at 33.

Uncommon Toxicologic Profile at Toxic Doses of CPI-613 (an Agent Selectively Alters Tumor Energy Metabolism) in Rats and Minipigs Reflects Novel Mechanism
King C. Lee, Claudia Maturo, Robert Shorr and Robert Rodriguez
DOI : 10.3844/ajptsp.2010.183.208
American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Volume 5, Issue 4
Pages 183-208
Problem statement: CPI-613 is a novel anticancer agent and the toxicological profile has not been assessed. Accordingly, the objective of these studies was to thoroughly evaluate the Toxicokinetic (TK) effects of CPI-613 in rats and to compare the toxicological profile of rats to minipigs to determine if there were differences between the two animal species. Approach: These studies involved assessments of multiple toxicological parameters (including clinical signs as well as full panel blood work, necropsy and histology) at multiple times in animals treated with the threshold dose (i.e., a dose that did not induce significant effects), toxic dose (i.e., a dose that induced significant toxic effects) and dose that approximated the LD10 dose (i.e., a dose that induced death in approximately 10% of the animals). CPI-613 was given intravenously 2x weekly for 3 weeks, a dosing schedule that is used in clinical trials of CPI-613. CPI-613-treated animals were compared to absolute control treatment as well as vehicle treatment. Furthermore, the correlations among toxic effects of CPI-613, plasma concentrations and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of CPI-613 were evaluated to establish the TK effects of CPI-613. Results: The results demonstrated the uncommon toxicological profile at toxic doses of CPI-613, which were related to induction of inflammation as the primary and the only toxicological effects in both animal species. The induction of inflammation was consistent with the dose-related increases in plasma CPI-613. Other changes such as elevations in reticulocytes and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) were also observed, but they might be secondary to the inflammatory effects of CPI-613. The toxic doses of CPI-613 were ~60x the anti-tumor dose levels observed in mouse tumor xenograft models, suggesting a wide safety margin of CPI-613. Conclusion: CPI-613 had an uncommon toxicological profile (induction of inflammation) in both animal species, which reflects its novel mechanism of action.

California Paraplegia Lawyer, Southern California Paraplegia Attorney
Paraplegia is the loss of movement of the lower part of the body, essentially from the waist down. While quadriplegia is the loss of movement of a person's arms and legs and essentially, the loss of control of muscles from the neck down, paraplegia is still the result of major damage to a person's spine.
Paraplegia is also paralysis.However it is paralysis of the lower body.In addition, when one has suffered paraplegia, they may also incur injuries to other parts of their bodies, especially when the cause of the paraplegia is a car accident, work injury, violence, sporting injury or as the result of a fall.
Often paraplegia results as a consequence of someone's negligence.That negligence may be the negligence of another driver, a co-worker, the manufacturer of a dangerous product or machinery.Even where negligence isn't necessarily involved, paraplegia can be the result of working in a dangerous situation, such as on a fishing vessel that by virtue of its condition is deemed to be the cause of the injury under the Jones Act.
Paraplegic injuries are normally due to an injury to the spinal cord and what is often referred to as an orthopedic injury.Such injuries often occur in connection with horrific auto or motorcycle accidents, bicycle or truck accidents, bus, pedestrian and airplane accidents and even in unexpected situations such as a slip and fall that can have unforeseen consequences.
Paraplegia also often causes additional symptoms such as the loss of bladder control, loss of sexual function, back spasms and a shortened life expectancy. The financial and emotional toll on a person suffering from paraplegia can also cause severe emotional trauma.
If you believe there is the possibility that your paraplegia, or that of a loved one, is due to the actions / negligence of another person or entity, we would encourage you to contact the Law Offices of your California Personal Injury Lawyers, Southern California Paraplegia Attorney for an analysis of your case. If your condition was caused by the negligence of another, you may be entitled to your medical costs and future medical treatment, loss of past, present and future income, and money for your pain and suffering

"Who is Puss in Boots, girls?" I idly asked the Princess Jemimah and her best friend, the Princess Pea, last weekend in the car. "Ooh, I know, he's in Shrek!" cried Pea. "No," I persevered, "the original character – the one the Shrek Puss came from. You know, like the Gingerbread Man comes from the story of The Gingerbread Boy." No answer. Then I asked Jemimah's Daddy. "I don't know," he admitted with some surprise. I had asked the question because it had occurred to me that I didn't know the answer either. Surprising, I thought, given the number to fairy tales we've read, but not an indictable offense. (What about you? Do you know the original story? You can get a refresher here.)
As it turned out, Jemimah and I had actually had read about Puss in Boots once or three times, as we discovered when we re-read the story through the week. It is one of the literally hundreds of fairy tales contained in the utterly peerless fantasmagorical read aloud book, Time for Fairy Tales - old and new edited by the equally incomparable May Hill Arbuthnot and published back in 1952. We read this book over and over when Jemimah was a wee-un. I think it is the best single read aloud book there is.
We also found Puss in Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book, which we'd read for AO1 a few years ago. Phew, I thought, I hadn't let my daughter down after all, even if neither she nor I hadn't remembered without a prompt and a revisit.
Kids nowadays don't seem to read fairy tales. Sure, most will have a little book containing retellings – probably by Disney – of Little Red Riding Hood, The Gingerbread Man, Cinderella, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and The Three Little Pigs; which must have come as some relief for the creators of Shrek, which features most of them, but what about Mr Vinegar or Tom Tit Tot and Rumpelstiltskin or Tattercoats or The Frog-King (sorry, he's in one of the Shrek sequels as Princess Fiona's Dad, I think) or Henny-Penny or the Three Billy Goats Gruff or Gudbrand or Little Freddy with his Fiddle or Urashima Taro and Momotaro, or Whippety Stourie and Lothian Tom, or Aladdin and Sinbad or Granny's Blackie or the Fire-bird, the Horse of Power, and the Princess Vasilissa or Sadko or Clever Manka and Budulinek or Connla and King O'Toole? Who knows of all of those characters nowadays? Not many adults, I hazard to guess, and even less of their children.
Which is sad.
How can you go through life without knowing this stuff? A childhood without the wise, witty, gentlemanly, urbane, suave, classy and elegant Padre Porko is seriously lacking something special. How can a child exist without the elegant and beautiful French Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, the moralistic tales of Hans Christian Anderson, the amazing vernacular of Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus and the delights of the brothers Grimm?
A childhood without Fairy Tales is a life without bloodthirsty giants and fearless giant killers, fairy spells and fairy godmothers, three wishes and magic spells, enchanted princes in the guise of beasts or bears or swans. It is life without witches (the benign one with a long pointy black hat and a wart on her nose; not the witches of the occult), gingerbread houses, dwarves, pixies, gnomes, ogres, beautiful princesses, gallant brave princes and cruel stepmothers. It is a childhood bereft of enchantment, magic, joy and imagination.
It is a childhood with something missing. It's a life lacking cultural literacy. Fairy tale characters appear over and over during the course of a lifetime - and not only in Shrek. If you don't know the stories you miss the subtle nuances of the argument. Some of the meaning is lost.
Fairy Tales introduce us to the delights of the repetitive tale. Read this little bit aloud and listen to your tongue tripping along with the animals:
So they went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Foxy-Woxy, and Foxy-Woxy said to Henny-Penny, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Poosey, and Turkey-Lurkey: "Where are you going, Henny-Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Poosey, and Turkey-Lurkey?" And Henny-Penny, Cocky-Locky, Ducky-Daddles, Goosey-Poosey, and Turkey-Lurkey said to Foxy Woxy: "We're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling."Kids love this stuff, and will quickly learn the refrain, joining in with the fun bits as you read.
Oh joy, fairy tales are stories of courage and bravery, but they're also such fun. Repetitive tales are an ideal introduction to poetry, by the way - their rich lyrical language is almost poetry already.
Fairy Tales have phraseology all of their own, without which our vocabulary is the poorer: Once upon a time; Alas, Alack; …while I go to Squintums; Fee-fi-fo-fum; Queen, you are full fair, 'tis true, But Snow-White fairer is than you; Flounder, flounder in the sea, Come I pray thee, here to me; Snip, snap, snout, This tale's told out. Then there are the words: cottager and husbandman and goody and goodman as well as balls and coachmen and footmen and coaches for them to ride upon; enormously rich merchants from far off kingdoms ruled by Princes and Kings and Tsars and Emperors and the Lord Marquis of Carabas. There are farmers and shepherds and burgomasters and fishermen and boys called Jack. Lots of boys called Jack.
The worse for witches and trolls; but even the most horrific of these tales, "are predominantly constructive, not destructive, in their moral lessons. 'The humble and good shall be exalted,' say the stories of Snow Drop (Snow White), Aschenputtel (Cinderella), the Bremen Town-Musicians, and dozens of others. 'Love suffereth long and is kind,' is the lesson of East of the Sun and One Eye, Two Eyes, and Three Eyes. In The Frog-King, the royal father of the princess enforces a noble code upon his thoughtless daughter. 'That which you have promised must you perform' and 'He who helped you when you were in trouble ought not afterwards to be despised by you."Fairy tales teach moral truths. 'Use your head' is one. 'Good things come to him who waits' is another common refrain, as is 'Kindness will triumph over evil in the end'. The good thing about the morality of fairy tales though, is that it is presented in a way that children find it palatable physic rather than a bitter pill. Fairy tales teach about brave self sacrifice, keeping a civil tongue, family loyalty and loving wives and mothers. They teach about decency, kindness and courage. They teach about keeping promises.
Children and Books May Hill Arbuthnot 1947
Fairy Tales encourage us to be good.
You don't need a huge book of Fairy Tales to begin with. Most good stories bear repetition, and in fact some get better and better the more they're read. Just grab a book of good unabridged tales in their original language and get started.
We're currently reading Joseph Jacobs' collection of English Fairy Tales. Written especially for children, Jacobs' idea was 'to write as a good old nurse will speak when she tells Fairy Tales'. In this aim he succeeded wonderfully. In his delightful book you'll get it all – the repetitive, the funny, the realistic, the wildly ridiculous, the long and the short. There is Henny-Penny; Tom- Tit- Tot; The Three Little Pigs; The Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk and more. Lots more. You can even find it free online. Andersen, Grimm, Lang, and most of the others are there as well.
Whatever you choose, and however you do it, don't neglect the Fairy Tales.
Allow your child to imagine, allow your child to laugh, allow your child to dream.
Kids love these stories.
They'll understand Shrek better as well.
Master of all masters, get out of your barnacle and put on your squibs and crackers. For white-faced simminy has got a spark of hot cockalorum on its tail, and unless you get some pondalorum, high topper mountain will be all on hot cockalorum…………………………..
…That's all.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande's spot-on musical impressions blew our socks off when she appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last fall. Two weeks ago, the 22-year-old singer doubled down on her chameleon-like vocals and showed off comedic prowess when she appeared as the musical guest and host of Saturday Night Live. Now Grande has released the first video of the title track off her forthcoming album, Dangerous Woman. To tide us over until her album drops in mid-May, here, five things you likely didn't know about Ariana Grande.
1. Despite her four-octave range, Grande has had no formal vocal training. "Music just kind of happened, I never really trained for anything," she said in 2013. "I played French horn for a few years, that's where I learned a lot about sheet music and theory. I play a little bit of piano by ear but it's mostly just singing, which I never was trained in." Grande's musical impression skills, however, are no coincidence: "Growing up, I was listening to Whitney Houston all the time, The Bodyguard soundtrack, a lot of Judy Garland and oldies, and divas."
2. Grande, who's said that she wished "every day were Halloween," explained she was somewhat out of place as a child in her sunny hometown of South Florida. "I always wanted to have skeleton face paint on or be wearing a Freddy Krueger mask, and I would carry a hockey stick around," she once said. "For my fifth birthday party we had a Jaws theme and all my friends left crying. I mean, I still am that way. But when I was little it was more concerning. There was a stage, when I was 3 or 4, where my mom thought I might grow up to be a serial killer."
3. Blackfish, the 2013 documentary on Sea World and its captivity of killer whales, had a tremendous impact on the singer and animal lover. "I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding," she said. The film led her to become a vegan and speak out against animal cruelty. "I used to love Sea World," she said. "I thought the animals were safe and happy. Then I learned what happened—that they're taken out of their habitat and kidnapped. It breaks my heart. They're not ours."
4. When Grande's half-brother, Frankie (also a successful musical theater performer) came out as gay, the singer began to question the tenets of her faith. "When my brother was told that God didn't love him I was like, " 'Okay, that's not cool,' " she said. Her spiritual exploration eventually led her to Kabbalah. "They were building a Kabbalah center in Florida so we both checked it out and really had a connection with it," she said. "[It] sort of stuck with me. And since then my life has unfolded in a really beautiful way, and I think that it has a lot to do with the tools I've learned through Kabbalah, I really do."
5. After repeatedly dying her hair cherry-soda red for the role of Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon's sitcom Victorious, the show partially responsible for her breakthrough, Grande revealed that she has to wear extensions due to her hair damage. "Some people make fun of me for [my hair], but I don't know who those some people are, so I don't care," she once said. The singer is also somewhat mystified by fans' response to her signature high ponytail. "Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to become a thing. I wasn't expecting to ever have a signature look. But it became one," she told Ryan Murphy. The Scream Queens creator even said that he received "death threats" on Twitter from fans who were concerned that he would make her change her 'do for the role on the FX show.

Buhari Hails Lai Mohammed Over Response To Obasanjo
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday night gave reasons why he prevented his Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, from responding to an attack on him by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo in January had issued a statement criticising Buhari's administration and advising him not to recontest in 2019.
Receiving members of the Buhari Support Organisation at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Buhari said that he stopped Adesina from replying Obasanjo's letter on account of Adesina's age and the need to uphold respect for elders.
According to him, the second reason was that himself and the former President were from the same (military) constituency.
Buhari however said Information and Culture Minister Lai Mohammed, "disobeyed" him on the same issue by responding to Obasanjo's letter and did a good job of it.
"We were constrained to explain our position when the former head of state wrote a letter. Adesina, my Special Adviser on Media, was agitated and wanted to immediately reply. I stopped him for two reasons; firstly, he was much younger than both myself and Gen. Obasanjo," he said.
"Secondly, we came from the same constituency with Gen. Obasanjo. So, I wouldn't know how it would affect him if I allowed him to go wild or to go public. But when Lai Mohammed came I said he shouldn't.He insisted, he said `no'. He disobeyed me.
"He said I must allow him to talk. Then, of course being a professional information person I listened to him and asked him what are you going to say? He said he was going to remind Nigerians where we found ourselves when we came in as government, where we are now, what we have done in between with the resources available to us.
"And I understand he did a good job because a number of people rang me and said Lai Mohammed has done a good job because I went public several times.
"I said it is on record and I challenged anybody to check from Europe, United States and Asia that between 1999 and 2014 the 16 years of previous administration there was an average production of (crude oil) was 2.1 million per day at the average cost of 100 dollars per barrel. This can be checked in these continents."
The President said he deliberately refused to replace Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele when his administration took over the mantle of leadership of the country in May 2015 because he wanted to give him the opportunity to salvage the economy from its terrible condition.

You Will Be Using The Fishing Gear - That We Always Wanted
Be forewarned. Fishing with us here at Dream Catcher Charters has caused many of our anglers to make a serious deposit at the local tackle store. Our gear is not cheap and its the latest stuff from DAIWA and ORVIS.
When we invite anglers to see our rod room Comments like "Oh My", "Good Lord" and one of my favorites "Honey Come Look At This" are not uncommon. Its impressive. With over 100 Rods and reels loaded and ready for battle with fresh line it takes a minute to let it all sink in.
We like nice gear. We don't get to fish much on our own so we use nice gear with our clients. Its easy.
From 12 inches to 1200 feet we are loaded for anything that swims. Fly fishing, spin fishing, bait casting and conventional. We have all levels of fishing gear to suit the needs of our days fishing.
See The Detailed Article And Review
Daiwa Saltiga Spinning Reels
Writen By Capt. Steven Lamp
Spin Fishing Gear
Our spin fishing reels are all 100% DAIWA. In our arsenal you will find names like Procyon, Ballistics and Saltist. Expertly maintained our reels all look and function like brand new every day NO EXCEPTIONS!
Spin fishing Rods are sets of a few different manufacturers such as DAIWA Coastal and DXI Rods, Ugly Stik Custom Graphite, All Star Premium Edition Rods and Key Largo Rods built by our good friend Rick Berry.
Bait casters
Not a super common piece of fishing hardware here in the Keys unless we are talking about the larger bait casters we use for tarpon otherwise known as "conventional". True bait casters require talent to cast and many of our mid west and Texas fishermen use them. We have them. We like the DAIWA Zillion series bait casting reel. We have them filled with a very small diameter braided line from FINS and they are bolted on to a very nice graphite All Star casting rod perfect for the long casts we need here to accomplish most anything. NOTE: We have these in left or right hand retrieve..
Line and Terminal
We use a TON of mono filament. Generally we like Stren, Suffix, Momoi or plain old Ande. Our Mono line is changed out by habit, never will an angler see ratty, frayed, bleached or half spooled line on any of our fishing rods.
Braided line is a staple with us for our flats fishing and tarpon fishing. We also use braid for many other tasks as warranted. Big news is we have it and we spare no expense to make sure its fresh. The brand we trust with your fishing is FINS Situational Braid.
Hooks are super important and we trust the best name in American made hooks. OWNER. Super sharp, very strong and reliable. We have been using Owner Hooks here at Dream Catcher Charters since 1998.
Fly Fishing Gear
Orvis. Yes only but the best for our anglers we use ORVIS fly fishing rods and reels. Names like Helios and Mirage are the line up you will see here. We have 8-12 wt fly rods and reels all spooled up with floating and intermediate line both left and right hand retrieve on all line weights. The line we use is nothing but Orvis Hydros. We find this combination has been the very best for what we do.
About Our Fishing Gear
We are very proud of our fishing gear and really enjoy sharing information regarding it. If you have any questions about our gear, how we use it and why we like it. Please email us with your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com we are delighted to share with you anything we know.

"Because Your Mommy Loves You" By Andrew Clements and R. W. Alley (illustrator) is a heartwarming book that shows how a mother's love and support can overcome many obstacles.
In this companion book to "Because Your Daddy Loves You," a little boy and his mom go on a hiking trip and camp out under the stars. Mommy is as calm and reassuring, but also goes far to foster her son's independence in an encouraging and loving way. As heartwarming as its predecessor, this read-aloud book is sure to become a family favorite.
My wife read this book and enjoyed the lessons on self-sufficiency, but couldn't relate to the camping. She's not really the outdoorsy type. However, she liked how the love and affection between a mother and son was portrayed.

Fiend without a Face (1958)
Nomination Year: 1998
SYNOPSIS: There's a top-secret U.S. air force base in Canada (British Columbia -- where they grow the finest coffee in the world ... and boil it). A scientist is conducting experiments which spin out of control due to the nearby nuclear power plant (you want details? too bad). Mysterious disappearances are caused by what turn out to be brain-like creatures that move on stalks (suspiciously spinal-looking stalks). The creatures attack the airbase, attempting to take control of the nuclear reactor that (somehow) fuels them and powers their unnatural energies.
- Stupidest-Looking Monster
The Crawling Stop-Motion Brains
They're brains that crawl around what appear to be spines (and neural ganglia). When hit with sledgehammers, they lead to the saying of things like "With a brain like Smuckers, it has to be good."
- Worst Science
It Won't Respond to the Switches -- Blow It Up!
Yes -- the scientists decide that the best way to stop the floating brain things is to stop the nuclear reactor. And the best way to stop the nuclear reactor is to blow up the control room.

The death of former UCLA player Tyler Honeycutt earlier this month was ruled a suicide, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office on Wednesday.
Honeycutt, who played at UCLA and was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the 2011 NBA draft, was pronounced dead on July 7 after a shootout with police at his home in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles. Honeycutt shot at officers and then barricaded himself in his home in the standoff that lasted nearly nine hours.
The coroner, according to USA Today, listed suicide by a gunshot wound to the head as the cause of death. Honeycutt was 27.
Honeycutt played two seasons at UCLA from 2009-2011. He earned first-team All-Pac 12 honors in his sophomore season before declaring for the draft. The Kings picked up the 6-foot-8 forward with the 35th overall pick in 2011.
Honeycutt sparingly played for the Kings before he was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2013, though he never saw the court there. He then played overseas.

SQL Server 2012 Unattended Installation
Automating installations is a good thing. It means that the installations are consistent across multiple installations, there's (by necessity) documentation for later reference of what and how something was installed, and automatic, unattended installations scale really well. If you're doing it more than once, you should be automating it.
There are two ways to specify installation parameters for an unattended install of SQL Server 2012:
- Manually, specifying each parameter:
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=PrepareImage /FEATURES=SQL,RS /InstanceID= /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS ...
- Easily, specifying a configuration file that contains all of your configuration parameters:
Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile="ConfigurationFile.ini"
I much prefer the second method of provided a configuration file as I don't have to remember all of the required parameters and I know my parameters are correct. Most of the time all I have to do is take a previously used configuration file, tweak a few lines, and I'm good to go.
Creating a Configuration File
You have a few different options for creating a confirmation file: You can create it from a previously existing one you may have or an example one provided by someone else, make your own from scratch (you may want to reference the Microsoft documentation, or opt to have SQL Server 2012 Setup create it for you. There isn't much too it, as it's just a plain-text INI file. Read more
Implementing a Proper Backup Plan
Who has heard this scenario before from a friend, family member, or co-worker?
Them: "Hey, so my computer was making this weird ticking noise and then this morning it said it couldn't find the hard drive."
You: "Uh-oh. It sounds like your hard drive is toast."
Them: "Can you fix it?"
You: "Sure. I'll pick up a hard drive after work. We'll have to reisntall everything though. No big deal though, because you have a backup, right?"
Them, after a brief pause: "Um, no. I've been meaning to do that."
Suddenly a not so painful task has turned into a matter of life and death. It's imperative that you get that iTunes collection and picture of Aunt Agatha from the last family reunion back. Too bad there wasn't a backup. Read more
Peeking Inside Windows Image Files (WIMs)
As everyone's well aware, creating unattended scripts for Windows is really useful, and any time spent upfront making answer file easily pays for itself in the long wrong (even if the only thing it does is fill in the product key for you). When building answer files for operating system such as Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, you need to write in the name of the image (from the WIM file) you want the installer to use. In some cases this is pretty straight forward, but in other cases an image file can actually have many images in it. For example, Server 2008 R2 has all of these images in its install.wim file: Read more
Learn Even More About Your Users in Active Directory Users and Computers
Did you know that there's a very easy way to view all sorts of additional user account information within Active Directory Users and Computers? I'm a little embarrassed that it took me so long to figure this out. For the longest time, as I'm sure many of us other administrators will have to admit to, I have resorted to having custom scripts run that tie into Active Directory in order to view some simple things such as the last time a user logged on, or a user SID.
Well, all of it and more can be found on the Additional Account Info tab of a user account within Active Directory Users and Computers.
"Wait, I don't have that tab!" you say? Yeah, neither did I. There's a step or two you have to take in order to get it, but well worth it.
First, download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools if you don't already have it. You don't need to install the entire package, but you do need to extract a dll (acctinfo.dll) from it otherwise (In my case, for instance, I'm setting this up on my workstation where I do administration from, and there is no need to install the entire resource kit.). If you choose the extract method, copy acctinfo.dll to your %systemroot%\system32 folder.
Then all you have to do is register the dll:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\acctinfo.dll
There will always be a place for scripts, don't get me wrong, but in this case when dealing with user accounts, you're often busy in Active Directory Users and Computers anyways. Only makes sense to consolidate your tools.
Use Netsh to Change TCP/IP Settings from the Command Prompt
Netsh is a tool that allows you to change TCP/IP settings from the command prompt. You can even make changes to remote workstations that you have access to. Once you learn the basics of scripting with netsh, it's effortless to make changes (especially when compared to using the GUI and endless windows and dialogs). Netsh has been available in all versions of Windows since the Windows 2000 days.
The things you can do with netsh are pretty extensive, and there's no way that I can sum them all up here in a simple post. What I will attempt to do though is make mention of a few examples of netsh's usage, and add more examples in the future. For anything more extensive, the accompanying documentation is fairly decent and can be viewed by using the /? switch.
View TCP/IP Settings
netsh interface ip show config
Set IP Address
Set a static IP of 192.168.1.100, with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway of 192.168.1.1.
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Obtain IP Address via DHCP
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
Set DNS Server Address
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.5
Dynamically Obtain DNS Settings
netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" dhcp
Silently Install CutePDF Writer and Ghostscript
I was quite recently looking to find a way to install CutePDF Writer silently (like most corporate setups) as to keep user interaction to a minimum. Getting CutePDF Writer fully installed consists of intsalling both the writer itself, as well as the GPL Ghostscript. Here's the fix:
- Download the Ghostscript converter.
- Rename converter.exe to converter.zip.
- Extract the contents of the zip file.
- Run converter\Setup.exe.
CutePDF Writer
- Download the CutePDF Writer installer.
- Run CuteWriter.exe /verysilent. Using the /silent switch also works, but shows the status of the unattended installation.
Pretty simple. I opted to combine the two into a batch file:
converter\setup.exe cutewriter.exe /verysilent rd "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\CutePDF" /S /Q
SSH on Windows Server 2008
Even in this day in age with hightened security throughout it, Windows Server 2008 still lacks a native SSH server. Luckily though, with open source tools such freeSSHd, we can still get the end result. FreeSSHd even has a built-in SFTP server which makes accessing your remote file securely, surprisingly easy.
Install FreeSSHd
Download and install freeSSHd from FreeSSHd.com. The install is pretty straight forward: Run the installer and accept all of the default options. The only exception is to opt to run the SSH server as a service when you are asked.
Add Firewall Rule
A new inbound rule needs to be added to the Windows Firewall in order to allow TCP SSH traffic in on port 22. This can be done either from the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in or the command line with netsh. The snap-in has a wizard that works great and will walk you through step by step. I prefer the command line with netsh if it's going to be straight forward with nothing fancy:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SSH" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=22
Configure freeSSHd
To configure the freeSSHd server, run the freeSSHd application (either desktop or Start menu shortcuts) as administrator. Not running with administrator rights will result in your changes not being saved.
A tray icon will appear, which will allow you to open the freeSSHd settings dialog. Essentially, it's just a GUI that makes changes to the FreeSSHDService.ini file (C:\Program Files\FreeSSHDService).
Create a user account for yourself. I didn't have much luck getting NT authentication working as the authorization mode. I think it may have something to do with UAC being turned on on Server 2008. Selecting Password stored as SHA1 hash worked great though.
Once you've created your user accounts, among changing other settings, close the dialog to save the changes. To put the changes into effect though, you'll need to restart the freesshdservice:
net stop freesshdservice net start freesshdservice
That's it. You should be all set and ready to test your connection with Putty or some other SSH client.

From Magic City Morning Star
Doug Wrenn
I'm beginning to have flashbacks to the 2008 Presidential campaign and I'm worried that this is a nightmare, and when I wake up on Election Day morning, I'll again be stuck with one of those "lesser of two evils" type of choices yet again.
In that campaign, pundits of both ideological stripes, as well as Republican Party establishment gurus warned us with their allegedly sage intuition that the GOP must settle for a "centrist," "middle of the road," "moderate" candidate to win both independent as well as Republican voters. Good morning, America! So....how did that little pearl of wisdom work out for you?
Worse than the semi-flip-flopping, foot-in-each-camp, John McCain, now it looks like (and I hope I'm wrong), we may be stuck with the incessantly flip-flopping, left-leaning (at least as far as anyone can truly tell), uptight, plastic, elitist, Ken-doll look-alike, Mitt Romney, with his paste-on smile, and abysmal, fumbling attempts at humor, awkwardly ambiguous references to his preferred height of trees, and perpetual lobbying to convince us that he is a regular guy. This is the same stiff, corporate, cover-your-butt buffoon, who in a 2008 Presidential debate when asked what he would do if America was being attacked said he would consult his lawyers while Ron Paul trumped him and brought the house down with raucous laughter and applause by saying he would simply "consult the Constitution." I would just be impressed if Romney could just make one definitive issue statement and actually stick to it for more than an a hour without taking a poll.
And the opponent is the same, Barack Obama, the most socialist thinking President and greatest danger to our Constitution and liberties since Woodrow Wilson. (With a couple of rest stops along the way at Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, and FDR!)
Different year, same mantra. The alleged "conventional wisdom," as we are told, is that "Flip" Romney, who has referred to himself in the past as a "moderate with progressive views" and formerly promised not to take us back to the "Reagan-Bush" years, and now is feebly trying to promote himself as a conservative, has the ability to capture the far right wing as well as the center of the electorate. I'll just be happy to see where the dart lands next on the ideological dartboard of this now alleged and self-promoted "conservative," who once claimed to be further to the left on gay issues than Ted Kennedy. (Gee, and I always thought the wall was there!)
That's my problem. First of all, did we ever hear anyone from the left warn us that Obama was too far left and could not capture both the left and the center? And then, just the other day, we have former First Lady Barbara Bush shooting off at the mouth, whining that no one in the GOP is now capable of compromise! Gee, does she mean like her "Republican In Name Only" ("RINO") husband? Hey Babs, "Read my lips...."
As unabashedly far right as I am, even I have to admit that I still have more respect for a far left Democrat who knows what he believes and who he is than a liberal Republican who either is so bereft of core values that he is unable to formulate an opinion, or is such a political whore that he keeps a foot in each camp to placate the ever dumbed down, mouth breathing electorate, who would be hard pressed to name their elected representatives, but can quote you chapter and verse of the stats of the entire bench of their favorite baseball team, or who got knocked off on the inane reality show du' jour on the boob tube the night before. And yes, these are the same morons who voted in this smooth-talking, inexperienced activist clown from the corrupt and incestuous Chicago Democrat political machine, right after wiping the drool off their chins because they still think "Constitution" means a lack of success on the commode!
The polls even show that many voters are favoring Romney (even if while holding their noses) because they believe he can beat Obama. Well, now there's a vote of confidence! With that kind of deep thinking, why did Castro have to lead a coup against Batista?
I am also not ruling out the strategic thinking of these voters, assuming they still realize that newspapers are for something else besides fireplaces, litter boxes, bird cages and fish wrap, and that the Internet can actually provide resources besides video games and pornography. Romney, of the four GOP candidates, has the best funded and best organized campaign right now. He should. He's been running for this office for six years now, and maybe even longer. So in terms of both money and name recognition, he now has a leg up, even if the attached foot is wearing a flip-flop.
The establishment GOP for far too long has treated the conservative faction as red-haired step children. Come Election Day, they desperately want us, but the rest of the time, they ridicule us while their pointy little noses are maintained in the same northerly direction as their pinky fingers while supping from their martini glasses. Being principled does not necessarily mean being "opinionated," any more than being "reasonable" (in their vernacular) always must always mean having no core values other than only serving one's self interests, and the country be damned.
I have personally known disgruntled "moderate" Republicans in politics who have picked up their bats and balls and gone home, and backed a Democrat candidate over a conservative Republican or even independent conservative. I've lived among and worked with these "Republic-crat" frauds in my home state of Connecticut. When push comes to shove, they inevitably lean left, while fiercely bristling at their alleged Republican credentials. Yeah, right. And the Emperor is wearing new clothes. In 2009, we saw the same scenario in New York's 23rd District Congressional race, when liberal Republican, Dede Scozzafava dropped out and endorsed Democrat Bill Owens, rather than endorse Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Undoubtedly to Scozzafava's delight, Owens won, but to New York Republicans, both conservative and otherwise, "Scozza" certainly did them no "favas." Unlike more national Republicans, who are both fiscally and socially conservative, for the alleged "moderate" Republicans, the bottom line is simply money, power, and greed.
George W. Bush proved to be less than conservative everyone thought, and more of a big government, big spending liberal, but he still won in two terms and against two far left liberals, as did Ronald Reagan. What is the Republican establishment afraid of? (Besides everything!) The party of the feckless needs to man up. So what if our final candidates in an election are a far left wing Democrat and a far right wing Republican? Given that premise, if even at surface level, we've won four times already. For that matter, how does a conservative Republican like Bret Shundler get himself elected Mayor to an ultra-liberal city like Jersey City, New Jersey from 1992-2001, when that city last elected a Republican Mayor in 1917? America's predominant ideology is supposedly center-right, and when explained rationally, in context, clearly, and fully, our conservative principles and issues make sense, and they work.
Republicans of the country's two fringes (geographically, as well as politically), the liberal northeast and the west ("left") coast, cannot be trusted, period. There are far more Scozzfavas out there than we realize, who, I believe, sub-consciously, if not deceitfully, are more Democrat than Republican, and want Democrats to win. They are political chameleons, canards, who are little more than "frugal Democrats," and in some cases, not even too frugal. Many of these two-faced hypocrites claim to be fiscally conservative at least, even if they are social liberals, and in many cases, they can't be trusted in either circumstances when the time counts. They are their own self-made gods, and such is where their true allegiance can be found. If the pinnacle of their conservatism is about fiscal matters, then why do they so detest and separate themselves from the Tea Party folks, who are simply garden variety Americans with a concise three-plank-platform of less taxation, smaller government and elimination of wasteful spending? On the federal level, many so-called "moderate" Republicans cozy up to one-world order organizations like the Council On Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergs, etc...They ridicule true conservatives because like the Communists before them, they try to silence dissension first with insults and to give the impression that they are the so-called "main stream." To paraphrase Hitler's propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, a lie told often enough eventually becomes truth.
Given the prospect of voting for a far left or far right candidate, independents have four choices:
Some of these voters may walk away, but others will vote for somebody, and predictably some votes will go to both of the two major candidates. So where do these Republican elitists dream up this tripe? They keep dredging up Richard Nixon, another quintessential politico, who advocated veering right in the primary, and back to the middle in the general election. Like I said before, "whore." Freud once said that sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, and likewise, sometimes, a whore is simply a whore. Too many of these political hacks are whores. We have too many politicians, from both parties, and not enough statesmen, and a clueless, apathetic, moronic faction within our electorate that frankly deserves what it gets. (The problem is that the rest of us get dragged along kicking and screaming !) It's a simple theory really: crap in, crap out. The only unresolved issue is whether the chicken came first or the egg. (Or is it just both?)
While I would favor a conservative candidate, that's not to say I am advocating that "moderates," should never be candidates for either party. I am just sick of being dictated to by self-aggrandizing bluster bags with the pabulum that only centrists are capable of capturing the majority vote. Both parties have now proven that such is not the case, but only the ever compromising, apologizing, bowing, cow-towing coreless, cowardly, two-faced, Republicans haven't gotten the memo yet. Wake up, folks! In political parties, the only thing you typically find in "the middle of the road" are long, yellow streaks, and dead skunks. And if you continue to follow that "middle of the road" long enough, it just might even lead you to a surprise gift - in the form of a Trojan Horse.
Unless of course, that's what you really want anyway (wink, wink, nod, nod...).

If Chelios' Pub and Grill in Aurora wasn't the loudest collection of Blackhawks fans in the metropolitan area Monday night, it was in the running.
The Blackhawks captured their third Stanley Cup in six years with a 2-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning and the place was packed with a standing-room only sea of red-sweater wearing Hawks fans, who began the night merely loud and slowly progressed to ear-splitting.
"I'm beyond amazed," Brittany Case said after the final buzzer. "I'm very happy."
Case gave credit to her boyfriend Sean Hall for turning her into a hockey fan and he said simply, "It was amazing...another great game."
