Your human is having way too much fun at your expense, Spitty.ReplyDelete
Quick, transport here. My silken tum is waiting! And Marley says he will get you a small bird to enjoy in the morning...ReplyDelete
Hullo? Is this the same Human who promised you devotion and attention 24 x 7 during her vacation from the Education Factory? What - does she think your memory only lasts a few days??? Damning evidence that she can't be trusted. I agree with the Lone Star Cats that a meaningful response is called for (President Barlet's advisers would counsel you to make it a proportionate one). I look forward to seeing the pics on Sunday!ReplyDelete

Oh no! What a cad. Her, not you.ReplyDelete
Humans that play Bridge are a special breed. My human never got into it, but one of her heroes, Buster Keaton, was a FIERCE Bridge player. He was legendary in Hollywood for his Bridge games.ReplyDelete

Dear Spitty, maybe you need to paw up (draw up) a contract to the humans outlining that if they go on any future excursions outside the home without you, you will require them to give double the pets, belly rubs & treats when they return. Hugs! -Valentine (& Mom) of Noir Kitty MewsReplyDelete
Forgotten and forlorn. That's just not right. We're sending our love!ReplyDelete
That's just wrong, Spitty. Yes, where is the love???ReplyDelete
Humans, humans, humans...How is it that they forget it is always about the love? Purrs from the Zee/Zoey gangReplyDelete
Hah! What a sweet thing, you Spitty dear!ReplyDelete

A drop in non-residential permits in November, especially in Ontario, more than offset gains in the value of residential permits.
There were $2.2 billion worth of non-residential permits issued in November, down 17.6 per cent from October.
Permit values in the residential sector rose 6.9 per cent to $3.9 billion following three consecutive monthly declines.
The value of building permits for single-family dwellings rose 8.2 per cent to $2.4 billion, while multi-family permits rose 5.0 per cent to $1.5 billion.
Nationally, municipalities approved the construction of 16,895 new dwellings, up 5.8 per cent from October.
There were declines in all three components of the non-residential sector.
Institutional permits declined 34.1 per cent to $692 million, following an increase of 178.8 per cent in October.
The largest drop was in Ontario, where there were fewer plans for new medical facilities and government buildings.
Municipalities issued $439 million in industrial permits, down 12.3 per cent from October.
The largest declines were in permits for manufacturing plants in Quebec and utilities buildings in Alberta and Manitoba. Ontario recorded the largest increases as a result of higher construction intentions for transportation and utilities buildings.
Commercial building intentions were down for a second consecutive month, slipping 5.1 per cent to $1.1 billion.
Commercial gains in seven provinces did not offset decreases in Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. Ontario posted the largest decline as a result of lower construction intentions, mostly for retail stores and recreational facilities.
Overall in November, the value of building permits decreased in six provinces, led by Ontario, followed by Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Ontario declines were institutional and commercial buildings, as well as multi-family dwellings.
In Alberta, the drop was particularly attributable to institutional and industrial buildings and single-family dwellings.
The Newfoundland and Labrador decrease was mainly the result of lower construction intentions for commercial buildings.
British Columbia recorded the largest increase as a result of gains in the residential sector as well as in the institutional and commercial buildings. Nova Scotia followed with increases in both residential and non-residential sectors.

Activists Claim, ISIS Is Killing Babies With Down Syndrome
Here's a little more:
ISIS militants have reportedly authorized the terror group's members to kill newborn babies with Down Syndrome, as well as other disabled children, Iraqi activists claimed on Sunday.
According to the group known as Mosul Eye, 38 babies have already been killed since the religious decree was issued.
The information and video have not been confirmed. Abu Said Aljazrawi, a Saudi judge on the Shar'i board of ISIS, issued the so-called "Oral Fatwa," those activists report, saying babies as young as one week old have been killed as a result.
The babies were suffocated or given lethal injections, according to Mosul Eye.
Here's hoping that this report is absolutely NOT TRUE. Plus, with everything that is going on this holiday season, let's all take a moment to send our thoughts of love and peace to those who need it most in this world.

I'd like to oppose headline and last statement. "We" can do better, so let's go ahead :) I don't know MythTV, but I tried tvheadend. It has a really attractive backend, but no (working) frontend. Starting vlc from browser crashes the browser and the frontend does not connect to backend at all. With available docs from programs website there's no way to get a working C/S solution (refering to debian stable). So from a users point of view, I prefer a working solution with "suboptimal" design over an attractive design, that does not work. >> If Klaus is clear about what he wants and is in good communication with >> other coders, perhaps it could become more of a team effort with Klaus as >> team captain.. +1 >> Keep in mind, people have been wishing for VDR to go this route for quite a >> while so even if it means extra work fixing plugins, I think you'll find more >> people welcoming this change than not. +1 >> maybe it would be a wise idea to start a dedicated thread to it for >> collecting information on identifying the needs/wants, and ways they can be >> met.

Q. What is non-juried research report?
This refers to any publication that is not a "Peer-review" or "Juried" publication. The emphasis is on research and researchers in the same area of study reviewing submissions for publication.
Non-juried, or publications that are not peer-reviewed, may be considered academic or scholarly publications. Journals (with titles such as Bulletin of..., Transactions of... Society of...) also have a review process. The rigor,or the standards, of these publications are similar to peer-review. These publications have an editor or board of editors who review the content for reliability, research quality, scholarly merit, contribution to a field of study, etc.
Scholarly journal publications and peer-review are both considered sound, and reliable research. Even when research is refuted, or challenged later, an article in these publications is part of the history of the field of research.

Human Development and Decent Work: Why Some Concepts Succeed and others Fail to Impact the Development Agenda
This paper examines the impact of the ILO's concept of Decent Work on development thinking and the associated literature. We attempt to answer the question of what makes a development initiative successful by comparing the decent work approach to the UNDP's human development concept (in conjunction with the human development indicator). We consider that the latter has been one of the most successful development concepts ever to have been launched, while the impact of decent work by comparison has been limited.
Our hypothesis relating to the question of what makes a development initiative successful has four fundamental components: first, a solid theoretical foundation that justifies the launch of a development concept. A second vital factor is the availability of sufficient national and internationally comparable data that enables researchers and policymakers alike to apply the concept, preferably by means of a synthetic indicator. Third, the political will and institutional structure of the development institution that launches a concept is a key factor, particularly if data availability is limited as countries then have to be persuaded to generate new data. Finally, the intellectual environment into which the development initiative is launched has to be "ready" to receive and accept the new concept.
Keywords: Decent Work, Human Development, Human Development Indicators, Employment, Development Institutions

Masquing act
This weeks challenge at Less is More is "masque". I used this technique on last weeks LIM card and so decided to go for the same kins of effect.
I sprayed some purple ink through a stencile, drew around it with a black pen then stamped one of the new Waltzing Mouse stamp through the same stencil. I sprinkled a bit of gold embossing powder over my stamped image and voilà! I hope you like it and that it inpired you!

Escape to the Movies: G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
Agreed on all counts! I thought to myself "ya know, this movie wouldve been the single greatest thing in the world...if i was 12." Im 19 now and i like my movies with a good amount of action and a great amount of story. G.I.Joe is no perfect movie, but it appeals to the 12-year-old in me. Good guys, bad guys, secret bases, cool gadgets and weapons, NINJAS! If this movie tried to be smart or, God forbid, politically correct it wouldve severely disappointed me. But its not, so it didnt.
It's no Hurt Locker(amazing!) or District 9(going this weekend!), but it's worth $8.
I tend to take everything MovieBob says with a generous sackful of salt, but I'll probably go see this regardless. Hopefully it's a lot less Michael Bay so I don't find myself getting headaches.
Well, unlike Bay, they spent the amount all around instead of spending most of it on effects.
I saw it this Friday and I totally agree. It's just fun for the sake of fun. A movie based on a toy line/cartoon doesn't need to be smart. I'm glad that they didn't overdo it. Thanks, Mr. Sommers.
I don't normally listen to this guys reviews, after him having slated transformers and star trek and finding them to be pretty bearable, but i wasn;t sure i wanted to go and see this but now I think I will
I'll agree that Star Trek was good...but seriously. Transformers was little more than a CGI orgy. They could have taken out every last piece of dialogue and ever person and what they had would have been no less enjoyable.
I would love to see a Transformers movie made by people who actually liked transformers. Michael Baye is a douche bag. Star Trek was good because it was made by people who fapped to Star Trek as kids. I respect that kind of directing. I want people who idolize a franchise to try and redo it because they will sweat and freak over the minor details.
Baye turned transformers into a joke...and that's even taking into context the old cartoon and marketing and putting it into modern day America. If you took ANY OF THAT it would be less ridiculous than the bullshit he did.
But yeah, harping on star trek is a pretty difficult thing for me to see justifiable. I mean...it had Nimoy :).
How can you blast Transformers then not blast this?! This movie was godforsakenly awful.
At least transformers was fun this was just a poorly acted poor CGI fest with random flashbacks to everyones past and lackluster action scenes (other than the paris one).
I think everyones reaction after this movie about sums it up. "well at least district 9 looks good"
Actually, the story is crap. Rather, the way the story is told is crap. Character backgrounds would be scattered sporadically throughout the action and fight scenes would get interrupted by 2-second flashbacks. And if you werent paying attention, you'll go "WTF was that?!"
Also, the lead actor has about as much emotion as a can of tuna.
But as a mindless action movie with lots of cleavage, it's passable.
The last two James Bond movies were masterpieces, showing us that we can have both good action AND good plot in the same movie despite what was previously believed. If you think a shitty action film with no plot can beat those films you are sadly mistaken. I'm not saying it's not good, but I can tell you without having seen GI Joe, that they aren't even shooting for the level of awesome that was achieved by the last two bond films.
Hmm, maybe I'll actually see this now when it hits the cheap-seats, if nothing else but to see that kid from "3rd Rock From the Sun" try to pull off Cobra Commander. :-P
This movie BLOWs. How can any selfloving person think this movie would be fun. As a kid never did Duke and the Baroness fall in love. How is the Dr. Cobra Comander. You take out two main Cobras. The only good part about this movie was Snake Eyes oh and Zartan was spot on. This movie was junk. the flashbacks were sooo sad. who needed that. the love stories were not needed. Never I mean never did my G.I. Joes fall in love. Sad.
Listen to the review again
maaaaaan, the quality of the video itself is so BAD. Its insane, the screen get distortionned (sp?) so freaking badly its hard to read or even see wtf is on the screen... am I alone?
Movie Bob, God bless him and his really poor taste in movies: 1. that it's better then the last 12 Bond Flicks? Not even the worst Roger Moore Bond like Moonraker. We've recently had Casino Royale, and in the 90's Golden Eye. 2. That it's not a flaccid movie cash in. Yes, yes it is a crappy movie cash in.
If I was 8 I'd like it, but even a 12 year old after seeing their dad's collection of great action flicks can recognize how thin G.I. Joe is. what a piece of crap. I listened to Bob's review, and said well he said it's "Fun" so I went to see it. This is the last time I'll ever take Bob's advice. He was dead wrong on Star Trek, and damn sure wrong on this movie.
ok bob, I might just go see this. I was completely convinced this was going to be a shitfest of a film, especially after seeing how awful the transformers sequel was I wasn't ready to believe in toy movies. If it's good, I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in NY.
What he did wasn't rediculous, transformers was a great action film and i don't care what anyone says to me about it, sure it doesn't have much plot to it, neither did 300 and that was pretty decent, and sure it didn't stick to the old cartoons and comics, but seriously i couldn't care less, I grew up watching transformers and I still enjoyed it.
I didn't say you couldn't enjoy it. I just said that if you stripped out every last communication and person from the film it would be no less entertaining. He sold people on the lowest common level. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but its not hard either. Anyone could have made that movie 'that' good.
I went to see quantum of solace. I had not gone online and seen any of the plot or anything. So I thought the main villain was the #1 yesman of the main villain. I did not understand what on earth the plot was with the movie. And when it ended, I thought it was only halfway through. Thats how confused I was. I had to ask someone else what on earth had just happened. I sort of got the love interest plot. But I was expecting a Bond movie to be more. No Mr. Bond I expect you to die! clear evil villain with a cat.
I guess they were trying to be more mature or something. But mature doesn't always mean better.
like this movie. if it tried to be mature and serious, it would have failed epicly.
Oh, God. The "letting the kids play with action figures and recording everything they come up" bit was hilarious. I've heard nothing but good praise for this film... But, I absolutely refuse to believe that it's any good. Nope. Maybe I'll see it when it comes out on DVD, and I MIGHT change my mind. But, until then, I'm going to stick my fingers in my ears in sing.
read movie bobs addendum
which basically said, the last 12 james bond movies dont have that travel all over the world, evil villain stroking a cat, underwater lair stuff. this movie does.
He does say casino royal was better than this movie. even though I hated QoS I liked royal. The poker scene had me on the edge of my seat the entire time :3 And im not a poker fan
read some of the other comments. he adds an addendum. and im tired of paraphrasing it.
please see my comment about QoS
Casino Royale was good though. In one of his later comments Bob says that CR is better that GI Joe.
Hah, nice to come back and see I was right (post 78, second negative review after seeing the film).
Might be a rental, but it was not enjoyable. Not worth the $10.50 they charge for tickets here.
I saw it, I lol'd at the puns in regards to the original action figures I played with as a kid, I enjoyed it as the brain at the door eplode-a-bad guy movie that it was, well crafted for that niche.
Also FYI "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" earned around $100 million These kind of numbers are apparently good enough for Paramount to start thinking of expanding the franchise. The studio's vice chairman, Rob Moore, confirmed that a sequel will soon go into development."

Nice review Bob :D
So it suppose to be awesome, but it still stupid action movie, right? I know what to expect and I'll be happy with that, but will I be suprised?
I'm amazed how many people enjoyed this movie! Personaly I felt like my childhood was being tortured to hell and back... No, I never expected a good plot and yes I expected a lot of action, nice I got those two. However, there are somethings you don't expect to EVER change, Scarlet was supposed to be Snake Eye's girl, and Snake Eyes was supposed to be MUTE (silence oath?! come on!!!). But worse than anything, where the heck did those suits come from?! The coolest thing about GIJoe was that the good guys were so "normal", instead the movie introcued us to a couple of "Master Chiefs" ¬¬ Commander Cobra was also a very weak version to the famous villain of my childhood... Transformers was MUCH better, it kept the essence of the cartoons and comic books...
Umm, well I think it depends on which James Bond you grew up with. He's been around long enough where the style has changed.
For example, I think the current Bond is absolute garbage and while he churns out a decent action flick, he's too much of a thug to be James Bond, and on top of it I think they have overplayed the whole "at odds with M" thing which grated on me back when they did it with Brosnan, and it's just getting worse.
But I digress, during the Roger Moore/Late Shaun Connery era of James Bond you had villains stealing spacecraft while they were in orbit to start wars (using a giant spaceship of their own), and operating out of their own underwater bases and giant Volcano Doom Fortresses (indeed I believe James Bond invented that whole stereotype). The idea being that we are supposed to take for granted that the bad guys can put together armies of dudes with star wars weaponry, and develop elaborate constructions in unusual locations with nobody noticing. The logistics making absolutly no sense, even if it makes for a cool movie.
GI Joe is in that spirit. How does ANYONE assemble a military force of this size, and then construct a base under a polar icecap patrolled by a combination of heavily armed subs and ROBOTIC SHARKS... and then catch anyone by surprise. It's very similar in portrayal to a classic Bond movie.
One thing I DO disagree with Movie Bob about though is that I think they would have done better to keep something closer to the original origin of Cobra. As I remember things (and it's been ages), the root of Cobra was with Cobra Commander being the last scion of a long dead race of hyper-advanced serpent people who lived underground. When he came out of stasis he had this hidden infrastructure and technology that was sitting in mothball. He came out and slowly recruited his people starting as a snake cult and expanding from there. The world was caught by surprise by his armies and such because Cobra pretty much went from being a wierd arse international cult, to an army with super-science weaponry capable of decimating the regular military more or less overnight.
That's probably wrong on a lot of levels, but that's how I remember the basics (from wherever).
The movie instead took the James Bond route of not even trying to justify how even a private military contractor gets this kind of stuff. Or rather they stop half way through the movie. To begin with there was some comments about "Destro" running a scam to get the world goverments to fund his development of those weapons, and discussing funding with "Cobra Commander" briefly. Of course this quickly fell apart when you started seeing the scope of the aquatic doom fortress with the polar ice elevator, and robotic sharks. I mean honestly, as cool as the movie was I almost let out a teedle of glee at the idea of robot sharks (it doesn't get any more cheezball than that), sadly they didn't seem to do much in the final battle.
Hmmm, well actually if it was the movie you describe I probably would have liked it better to be honest (and I already thought it was fairly decent). It seems to be "wrong" to be patriotic or nationalistic about America, even when other nations do the same thing.
I was personally a bit miffed about GI Joe being turned from an ultra-patriotic power fantasy (AMERICA will save the world!) into some kind of international organization. Okay replace "miffed" with the fact that I am still somewhat mortified about it. One of the big reasons being that G.I. Joe basically means "General Issue American" which in of itself is a somewhat intentionally arrogant name. If they are an international unit WTF would they call themselves that? Heck why would they even use the term "Joe" which is a referance to what a lot of foreigners have generically referred to Americans as (or at least that is how I learned it).
No, granted, what I am saying is not mature, nor is it "enlightened" by modern liberal standards. But then again I was sort of hoping we'd see something that would get back to 80s-esque American Pride. None of this "international anti-terrorist force" BS. GI Joe is basically supposed to fart Red White and Blue, and head out to save the rest of the world because only AMERICA can successfully police the globe. Occasionally they might make some diplomatic gesture about the sovreingty of another nation, before just going in to do what they need to do for everyone's good anyway irregardless of popularity. By jove that is the healthy American attitude! (or power fantasy if you prefer to think of it that way).
It depends which version of continuity your working from, really.
When they first started the 80s run of GI Joe figures, Hasbro didn't really have much planned out in terms of a "story" beyond "these are the good guys, these are the bad guys." Marvel comics scored a big license to produce the tie-in comic series, the writing of which they turned over to a "new" talent named Larry Hama who saw it as a vehicle that'd allow him to use a lot of material and ideas from a rejected Nick Fury retooling he'd pitched ahwile back. Hama pretty-much created ALL of the GI Joe backstories, relationships and personas we know today, but he (and Hasbro) went about keeping Cobra Commander's identity and origin "unknown" for awhile at first. In the comics, Cobra is less "public" an organization, and is based mainly within (and underneath) a typical all-American suburb called Springfield who residents, business and infrastructure are ALL a Cobra front.
Concurrently with the big toy sales and what turned out to be the HUGE success of the comic, Hasbro seperately licensed an animated series which borrowed/mirrored a good deal of Hama's early background for foundation but quickly went off in it's own direction (the show was a bit more "bound" to go wherever Hasbro's toy-line went than the comic) but initially kept CC similarly un-identified. In this version there's no Springfield - Cobra is public and likes to build giant snake-decorated bases everywhere. The only consistency i.e. Cobra is that in both versions it's hinted that CC is basically a guy who came out of nowhere with a gift for co-opting various terrorist/paramilitary entities (like the ones run by Destro, Zartan, Baroness, etc) into a single unit under himself. Not even Destro knows who he actually is.
The cartoon spawned a feature-length movie (later split up for TV) that revolved around introducing a new Lovecraftian/biotech-inspired enemy that was part of Hasbro's next wave of figures. This became "Cobra-La," an ancient antediluvian race of snake/bug people that Cobra Commander was revealed to have been a (failed) advance-attacker for. This is probably the origin you remember. Neither the movie storyline or the Cobra-La figures went over very big with fans, and the events of the movie were mostly undone and never mentioned again in subsequent seasons of the show.
Over in the comics, Hama (who had a military background and served in Vietnam) had been trying to keep his storyline mostly grounded in a mix of Marvel-type scifi and real(ish) military action/drama; he HATED the "Cobra-La" concept and other dictums Hasbro was sending (kill-off Cobra Commander, at one point) and didn't use it. He had his own (previously set in motion) origin for Cobra Commander that's... actually waaaay to complicated to repeat; but suffice it to say he was a regular American guy (used car salesman at one point!) who through a series of bad decisions, criminal dealings and hard times eventually transformed himself into a domestic (and then international) terrorist. Really.
keep doing the good work bob
I still think that 007 is diferent from GIJoe; I have all the 007 movies, and if we go back to Dr.No, he had the armies and all, but that 007 was very VERY investigative (most of Sean Connery movies were), which is why I like the new movies so much, in my opinion they're back to the roots... Actualy the only 007 I don't like is Pierce Brosnan's...
I was going to make a review, but I accidentally deleted it... sigh.
I'll just get to the main point then: What's the gripe with the technology? Both sides used the most ludicrous gadgets in the 80ies, just because most of it is common-place NOW doesn't mean that either the COBRAS nor the GI Joes didn't use very advanced and futuristic techs at the time. And what are the most apparent future techs that make the modern general wet his panties? Soldier enhancements. Either in the form of nanotechnological bioenhancements and psychological conditioning (COBRAS) or the form of computerized gizmos and power armor (GI Joes). I actually found it nice the duality of the different forms of technology both sides went with (as Nanotech and Psychological warfare are pretty grim, fitting the Cobras perfectly).
It's a good film. Lots of stuff really surprised me in a good ways. Some stuff could be better, but also had potential to be much, much worse (Baroness and CGI), a few were underwhelming (the main character blandness, but that's sort of expected from holywood these days... and the random flashbacks, that was largely unneeded), but most were well over any expectations (a plot that makes some semblance of sense in an action movie? With a backup plan that actually worked? A chekhov's gun that's used by the VILLAIN? Heroes who actually get accountable for their faux Team America actions? Having the good sense to make the American anti-anything-that-looks-funny-at-america (mercenary) sect become an international anti-terrorist (mercenary) sect? Not being afraid of being cheesy when it was needed? Damn, there's too much stuff here that caught me off-guard.)
Also, on a completely different vein, @Therunmance: What kind of mentality is that? Most of the problems with the world is that everyone think of themselves as American, or Iraq, or Christian, or Muslin, or Capitalist, or Communist, or Nazi, etc... first and foremost, instead of thinking of themselves as, I don't know, PEOPLE. Even worse, this kind of mentality that you so ironically says not to be "enlightened" by modern standards (while being kind of the rule for most people, really) is the kind of thought that motivates terrorists in the first place. This condescending, superior mentality that "I'm better, so lick my boots or else"? Well, guess what, it pisses off just about EVERYONE that's not you. That's why it was so easy to hate the great US of A during the Bush terms and it is so hard now at Barack's terms (really, the American republicans are about the only ones who actually, sincerely hates the guy. What gives?), because of their views of global relations. Bush saw everything and everyone as enemies of the "American way", while Barack is not blind to what is completely fucked up about their own american policies (the world always considered the American "healthcare" system to be some sort of sick joke a Nazi would come up with... and the legal system too, but in this case it is the sick joke... well, an american would come with). People (and nations) like people (and nations) who admits their own mistakes, and completely abhors anyone who can only see wrong on others. Weird thing, huh? That's why in any high school story you're not supposed to root for the bully, but the bullied.
Really? You just had to just shove your political BS into this, which only relates to the aforementioned topic of discussion by a few strands? How does the healthcare system relate to G.I. Joe?
I invoke Godwin's Law. For the Lulz.
Being a Marvel child, I was pessimistic going in to see this, but they succeeded in taking my preconceptions and tossing them out a very high window. True, the action was somewhat to rapid at times (much like Quantum of Solace >>twitch<<) but they made up for it with snappy one-liners and the partial destruction of France, which is enough to cheer anyone up...except the French.
I agree with this review--mostly. Saying that this movie is better than Casino Royale is blasphemy of the highest order, but it's still very fun to watch.
What makes this movie actually good is the fact that unlike Transformers, it's bad scenes are so overflowing with Narm that they complete the circle and become good somehow. The bad scenes are so bad that they're good, and I found myself giggling out loud at points--unlike the bad scenes in Transformers 2, where I found myself fighting the urge to leave the theater.

On September 7, 1956, US Supreme Court Justice Sherman Minton penned a note to President Dwight Eisenhower. Minton, a former Democratic senator from Indiana who had been appointed to the Court by President Harry Truman, was in ailing health. He informed the president that he was retiring from the Court. Eisenhower responded with a note expressing his hope that Minton would enjoy his time off.
Justice Minton left the Court on October 15, 1956, as the country was focused on that year's presidential campaign and intense battles for control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Eisenhower, the Republican nominee for a new term, had a lot on his mind. But he found time that week to fill the vacancy created by Minton's departure. As the Senate was in recess, the president simply appointed New Jersey Supreme Court Justice William Brennan Jr. to the High Court.
Justice Brennan took his place on the bench immediately.
That was that.
And that is a part of the history of how Supreme Court vacancies are filled in election years.
Recess appointments are rare (although Eisenhower also made initial appointments of Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Potter Stewart during recesses in 1953 and 1958, respectively) and are eventually followed by post-recess, post-election nominations, and confirmations (as was the case with Warren, Stewart, and Brennan). But nominations and confirmations of new justices in election years are not particularly rare. (Indeed, the authoritative Scotusblog notes, "The historical record does not reveal any instances since at least 1900 of the president failing to nominate and/or the Senate failing to confirm a nominee in a presidential election year because of the impending election. In that period, there were several nominations and confirmations of Justices during presidential election years."
There is ample precedent for nominations and confirmations in politically contentious periods on the cusp of presidential election years. And there is a long history of nominations made and confirmations delivered during off-year election seasons when control of the Senate is at stake.
So why are supposedly responsible Republican senators like Ohioan Rob Portman and otherwise serious media commentators according even the slightest respect to the off-the-deep-end proposal by Republican presidential candidates (included alleged "constitutionalists" Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio) and Republican Senate leaders that a vacancy on Supreme Court be left open for a year so that, if the 2016 election goes their way, a Republican president and a Republican-controlled US Senate can name the successor to the late Justice Antonin Scalia? Why would anyone with access to the historical record and a desire to provide a clear picture of the process of filling vacancies on the nation's highest court perpetuate the fantasy that a sitting president ought not move to fill an opening on the Supreme Court during the term to which that president has been elected?

Actually, if you're cheating anyway, check out the Shivan super laser. I bet you'll have more fun with that thing.
Awesome, completed the campaign and got a 45% score.
The mass on that thing is MESSED UP. The Akrotiri jug I hit with it went flying at 300 m/s or something.
I think it's probable. Maybe I can help you, Edivad. We'll check it out via MSN tomorrow.
Yeah, I realized why I was getting beamed, but it was a little bewildering at first, because there was no other notice given, just a main beam to the face.I think the model problem might be it, because I noticed too that the commander ordered to attack the other cruiser, but no shot ever was fired. I'm using 3.6.8 zetas, with the fixes, and my other mods are in their own directories. Could it be a problem with the executable? I compiled from cvs a few days ago.

Foam is a dispersion or colloidal mixture of gasoline bubbles in a strong medium resulting in formation of foam rubber and many different goods like foamed metal, poly foam. Most typical one being foam rubber. As afact, it depends upon the strong media used because the dispersion medium. It has a number of characteristics not supplied by cotton quilted or innerspring mattresses like it is resilient, breathable, great ventilation, tough, long lasting, hypoallergenic, anti-sagging, no flipping needed, temperature insensitive and dust or mite resistant.
Foam mattress pads can be of three primary kinds, that is latex, tempurpedic and memory foam. These are the new generation synthetic mattresses in contrast to conventional innerspring and cotton quilted mattresses. Each one of these kinds of foam mattresses pads offer enormous comfort and alignment of spinal cord to support it totally to ensure that back muscles are not constrained throughout the sleep. They even don't need periodic flipping and tossing as seen with conventional mattresses. The firmness of foam mattress pads depends upon the density of the foam. Foam and latex from thebest-mattress orderscan be too soft at occasions when the density of foam is not kept up to right requirements. As mattresses are in vogue now and are choice for much of buyers nowadays.
They can be fooled in the title of foam mattresses because the reduced priced item uses degraded quality of foam and is prepared by an outdated technique. These reduced quality mattresses have substitutes that are toxic and at first do not show their toxic results but later on trigger allergic reactions to body. Also, the reduced priced foam mattress pads are soft and have density of 2lb that cannot offer the needed contour support and trigger spinal alignment support. Distinction in between latex and memory foam mattress ought to be clear as each of these are foam mattresses and have the inherent quality of supplies.
A latex mattress is like an innerspring mattress that offers the feel of spring,while memory foam is firm and feels like one complete foam pad. Foam mattress pads are comparatively simple to clean and can be cleaned by vacuum cleaner and consequently sustaining them is bit simpler. Many researchers have found that while sleeping, the shoulders and hip ought to go in the mattress however the lower lumbar area that is the waist ought to be supported and the spine ought to be straight while sleeping also. Foam mattress pads are suggested as orthopedically best mattresses for sustaining great body posture and healthy, sound sleep.

(PRWEB) August 26, 2014
Miss America 2014 Nina Davuluri, the National Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, visited patients at PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital and delivered Blizzard® Treats during the ninth annual Dairy Queen® Miracle Treat Day, August 14, 2014. One dollar or more from every Blizzard® Treat sold at participating locations will be donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®, a charity that raises funds for 170 children's hospitals across the United States and Canada, including Children's Specialized Hospital.
Children's Specialized Hospital will receive donations made in central and northern New Jersey Dairy Queens. In 2013, 34 North and Central NJ Dairy Queens participated in Miracle Treat Day and raised $24,578 for Children's Specialized Hospital. This year, 44 North and Central NJ Dairy Queens have signed up to participate in Miracle Treat Day. These donations will help the hospital provide life changing services to children affected by brain injury, spinal cord injury, premature birth, autism, developmental delays, and life-changing illnesses.
"It was a true pleasure visiting the children here at PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital," said Davuluri. "Seeing the joy on their faces as we handed out the Blizzards touched me knowing that we were able to make their day just a little bit brighter."
Since 1989, Miss America titleholders have supported Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, helping with fundraising and visiting hospitalized children. Miss Davuluri served as the honorary spokesperson for DQ® Miracle Treat Day.
Amy B. Mansue, president and CEO of Children's Specialized Hospital thanks everyone who supports Miracle Treat Day.
"We look forward to Miracle Teat Day each year because it brings national awareness to the thousands of medically complex children we treat each year and the tremendous need for support," Mansue said. "Miracle Treat Day has become such a celebration of life and hope, as well as a fundraiser that draws support from people from all walks of life who are eager to help the children in their cities and towns who need it the most. Thank you Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the Dairy Queen system for your continued collaboration and for everyone who buys a Blizzard in honor of our kids."

Yes, it's summer and I'm looking for content to blog about and thankfully, I can make a tenuous link between beaches and Higher Education with this web site and, I hope, help you to enjoy one last trip to the sea before the students comes back and the next academic year begins in earnest.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has launched a new web site www.eyeonearth.eu which profiles European beaches on a map and provides EEA water quality rating information. I checked out the beaches I visited this year to see how they all faired and, luckily, they all scored extremely well.
Eye on Earth is the result of a partnership between Microsoft and the EEA and shows information on water quality at around 21,000 sites in Europe. As a portal, it brings 7 years of historical data to users and should become a "global observatory for environmental challenges". It uses state of the art mapping from Microsoft Live Earth as well as environmental headlines from the MSN news feeds.
Just to prove that this is about work - where's the link to Higher Education? Peer Review. Ok I did say it was tenuous but here's a Web 2.0 site that allows users to search for and access relevant data, view it in multiple ways and provide input to a wider community. The site encourages users to rate bathing sites and comment on them too. This will add to the data and should help make European bathing sites a safer and more pleasant place to visit.
Just for interest, here's one of the beaches I went to over the summer to illustrate how the site functions. There's also a handy Vista gadget with direct access to the sites data.

Blights on the community such as a drug house, open air drug sales in a neighborhood and illegal alcoholic beverage sales locations, which tend to be the hub of illegal activities, are a detriment to neighborhoods and reduce the quality of life of citizens.
Chapter 19 of the North Carolina General Statutes provides for a civil action to effectually close a property declared to be a nuisance. Brought on behalf of the State of North Carolina, the civil action targets property used for specified illegal purposes. As defined in statute, nuisance activities include prostitution, gambling, illegal possession or sale of drugs or alcoholic beverages, and repeated acts which create a breach of the peace. The civil penalties for operating a nuisance include fines, forfeitures, perpetual restrictive covenants on property, and subsequent jail time for failing to comply with judgments.
Alcohol Law Enforcement agents receive specialized training in the use of the state's public nuisance law and civil procedure. Special agents work with local governments and citizens to rid neighborhoods of drug houses, liquor houses, clubs and other nuisance properties that spawn serious and violent criminal acts.
Nuisance Abatement investigations commence by a written request from the local district attorney, chief of police or sheriff. Upon such request, ALE investigates nuisance properties to determine if the location meets the criteria for a nuisance action. If such action is recommended, ALE special agents coordinate interviews, prepare affidavits, conduct property title searches, and thoroughly research law enforcement records from local departments.
The attorney of record is presented with a court-ready case against the property owner. Property owners can face civil judgments including, but not limited to, fines and forfeiture of property. Furthermore, the property owner is prohibited from operating a nuisance anywhere in North Carolina, and the property itself can never be operated as a nuisance, regardless of ownership.

Mark von Rosenstiel is a multi-disciplinary artist using mathematical algorithms that interact with and explore human relationships and emotions. Through feedback loops and technology he strives to reveal the middle ground people occupy -- the undeniably human place where truth is agonizingly close, but never touched. Mark's site specific installations create internalized representations of the human experience that explore the boundary between observation and participation.
Mark's work has been featured in galleries across the globe, from Seattle to Bangkok. He lectures on ideas of incompleteness, randomness, and scale variance in relation to art practice and the potential to discover truths by creative means.

I've recently been reading Science and Hypothesis by Henri Poincare. In his writing about the evidence of geometry, he talks about our awareness of muscle movements (both our eyes and body) that result in the objects within our visual field deforming (i.e. their perspective is changed). He argues that these deformations that we witness, in conjunction with the subconscious awareness of our bodies movement in relationship to these objects, gives us the ability to deduce the construction and geometry of solid objects. I started reading his work because I have for a long time been fascinated with internal and external perspectives, and how we relate ourselves (the internal Self) to an external world view.
The phrase that spearheads the direction of work I would like to investigate is Sound As Substance. I would like to explore how we create context for sound in environments where the sound has no source that relates to previous experience. Poincare talks about how we use our bodies movement in space to ascertain the geometry of solid objects, and I'd like to take that idea conceptually further and look at our internal/external spaces in relationship to the constructed sound of our environment and how we then contextualize those sounds.
To do this I would like to explore making simple machines that create very basic soundscapes that immerse and interact with the viewer. The physical construction I see as giant wooden nests, or groves of artificial trees, with computer driven hammers that knock on them. The soundscapes would be self-organizing, in that they would use mathematical algorithms derived from flocking, nesting, or cellular behavior. I would then explore how these soundscapes could bend and alter based on a persons immersion in them and play with how to make the viewer contextualize and take on the experience in an internal way.

Yes, skiing is expensive, and it's not going to get any cheaper — at least at the walk-up ticket window, where peak-season rates at prominent resorts now top $100 a day. But for those who embrace the virtual world, there's no need to shell out a C-note for a day of play in the white stuff.
Mountain resorts, taking their cues from airlines and hotels, are selling discounted lift tickets online and pricing them according to projected demand. In many cases, they're also enlisting third parties to push sales. But there's a catch: Just as with buying an airline ticket, consumers have to shop early, shop around, be flexible with dates and take their chances with the weather to get the best deals.
"The airline industry did a good job of conditioning people to book in advance, and that's what the ski industry is doing now," says Ron Schneidermann, co-founder and CEO of Liftopia, a website that is to snow-sports enthusiasts what Expedia is to air travelers. "The focus is on advance-purchase online bookings, whether through the individual resort websites or us."
Another trend: To counter the marketing clout exerted by industry giants like Vail Resorts, which maintains a sophisticated ticket-selling platform, many small, independently owned ski areas and some larger ones are forming alliances to lure skiers and riders into trying something new.
"Smaller areas have to broaden their appeal; otherwise they're conceding a slice of the market to larger areas with more sophisticated programs," says Bob Roberts, president of the California Ski Industry Association. "In the end, the consumer is better off with all these options because they can pick and choose what they want."
Season passes purchased early in the year (the deepest discounts dry up after Labor Day) still offer the best deals for frequent skiers loyal to their home mountains. But for those who visit the snow infrequently or want to ski around, the new breed of purchasing power opens the door to tempting possibilities.
"Whether there's a lack of snow or a lot of it, resorts can adjust their rates on the fly," says Brandon Quinn, founder of GetSkiTickets.com, a startup competitor to Liftopia. Variable pricing, he adds, "is a great tool for getting more people out there at a cheaper price and for resorts to effectively market their products."

Since a dear friend asked me why the Hermès scarf is so special. I would like to share something I know. The first Hermès scarf was produced in 1928, inspired by Napolean's soldiers. It was a big success, Hermès later launched its first carré in 1937 at a factory in Lyon. This is the begin of a silk journey.
- each carré measures 90cm × 90cm, weighs 65 grams and is woven from the silk of 250 cocoons
- carrés are printed using multiple silk screens, one screen for each color
- 43 is the highest number of screens used
- 6 to 8 weeks are required to prepare for silk screens and colors
- the hems are all hand-stitched, it takes 30 to 45 minutes to finish one carré
- each design takes 9 to 12 months of research and development
- there are 50 carré designers, contributions also came from artists like H. Matisse and most recently J. Albers
- Hermès issues two carré collections each year. Half are new designs, half are re-colored classics
BTW, I store all my carrés in their orange boxes (wrapped in the original acid-free paper). Tagged their names and colors on the box so that I don't need to open each box to find the right one. ;-)

Publisher: William Morrow
Publication Date: September 2, 2014
Origins: From Publisher for Review
Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman's beloved Decker and Lazarus embark on a new life in upstate New York—and find themselves entangled in deception, intrigue, and murder in an elite, picturesque college town.
As a detective lieutenant with the LAPD, Peter Decker witnessed enough ugliness and chaos for a lifetime. Now he and his spirited wife, Rina Lazarus, are ready to enjoy the quiet beauty of upstate New York, where they can be closer to their four adult children, grandchildren, and their foster son, Gabe.
But working for the Greenbury Police Department isn't as fulfilling as Decker hoped. While Rina has adapted beautifully to their new surroundings, Decker is underwhelmed and frustrated by his new partner, Tyler McAdams, a former Harvard student and young buck with a bad attitude. Just when he thinks he's made a mistake, Decker is called to an actual crime—a possible break-in at the local cemetery.
The call seems like a false alarm until it's discovered that a mausoleum's stunning Tiffany panels have been replaced by forgeries. Soon the case escalates into murder: a co-ed at an exclusive consortium of liberal-arts colleges is brutally slaughtered. Poking into the hallowed halls of academia to find a killer, Decker and McAdams are drawn deep into a web of nasty secrets, cold-case crimes, international intrigue, and ruthless people who kill for sport.
Suddenly Decker's job is anything but boring, and the case might be too much to handle for a sleepy town that hasn't seen a murder for nearly a quarter century. Decker will need to use every bit of his keen mind, his thirty years of experience as a homicide cop, and much-appreciated help from family and old friends to stop a callous killer and uncover a cabal so bizarre that it defies logic.
Series: Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus
Review: MURDER 101 is the twenty-second book in the Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series and the first Faye Kellerman book I've read. I didn't feel lost because the characters were accessible and the story stood well on its own. Peter Decker has retired from the LAPD and moved to upstate New York to be closer to their family. Decker is now working for the Greenbury Police Department, whose biggest cases usually involve rowdy college students. When Decker and his new partner, McAdams, are called to the scene of a break-in at the local cemetery, they find out the priceless Tiffany panels in a mausoleum have been replaced by forgeries. As they dig deeper into the case, it turns deadly as a college co-ed is brutally murdered. The trail leads to more bodies as Decker and McAdams must quickly learn to work together to solve this complex case. MURDER 101 is what a well-written mystery should be, including the use of deductive reasoning, research, and old-fashioned pavement pounding. With all the focus on the art world, it appears to me Ms. Kellerman has done an excellent job of researching the subject matter. I was a little disappointed by the ending which seemed to be more amorphous than it seemed it should have been. As MURDER 101 is set, appropriately, many years after the first book in the series I may have to go back and start from the beginning. I feel, however, MURDER 101 is a solid mystery with interesting and likable characters.

Bradley replaces Paterno at PSU
Becomes first coach other than JoePa in almost 50 years
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- New Penn State coach Tom Bradley says he is replacing Joe Paterno with "very mixed emotions."
The defensive coordinator is Penn State's first coach other than Paterno in almost half a century. He was appointed interim head coach after Penn State's board of trustees fired Paterno on Wednesday night in the wake of a child sex-abuse scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky.
"We're obviously in a very unprecedented situation," a somber Bradley said Thursday morning. "I have to find a way to restore the confidence ... it's with very mixed emotions and heavy hearts that we go through this."
Bradley, nicknamed "Scrap" for his scrappy style on special teams while a player at Penn State and known for his animated machinations on the field, showed little emotion during the half-hour news conference except when talking about Paterno, major college football's winningest coach. Paterno had announced early Wednesday he would resign at the end of the season, his 46th leading Penn State, but the board fired him, anyway.
Tom Bradley will assume head coaching duties for the Penn State football team for the remainder of the 2011 season, replacing long-time head coach Joe Paterno.
In his 33rd season on the staff and 12th supervising one of the nation's top defenses, Bradley has played a large role in the success of the defense and recruiting efforts during his tenure. Bradley helped develop four All-Americans in the secondary.
In addition to the defensive backs, Bradley also has coached five other positions, including outside linebackers and defensive ends, coordinated the special teams and served as recruiting coordinator.
Bradley was a football letterman at Penn State in 1977-78, a graduate assistant in 1979 and became a full-time staff member in 1980.
The 55-year-old Bradley said he found out he was the new coach while watching game film Wednesday night. He called Paterno about 11 p.m., but declined to say what they discussed.
"I think that's personal in nature," Bradley said.
He made clear, though, that he has great respect for the Hall of Fame coach, whose 409 victories are the most by any coach in major college football.
"Coach Paterno has meant more to me than anybody except my father," Bradley said. "... Coach Paterno will go down in history as one of the greatest men. Most of you know him as a great football coach. I've had the privilege and honor to work for him, spend time with him. He's had such a dynamic impact on so many, so many - I'll say it again - so many people and players' lives.
"It's with great respect that I speak of him, and I'm proud to say that I've worked for him."
In the days since Sandusky, Paterno's onetime heir apparent, was charged with sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year period, the scandal has claimed Penn State's storied coach, its president, its athletic director and a vice president, all of whom have been criticized heavily for failing to do more to bring the alleged abuse to prosecutors' attention.
"We all have a responsibility to take care of our children. All of us," Bradley said.
Sandusky has denied the charges against him through his attorney.
Bradley replaced Sandusky as defensive coordinator following the 1999 season, and testified before the grand jury that indicted Sandusky and two other university officials. He declined several times to answer any questions about his involvement or testimony, finally saying he had been advised not to by attorneys.
Bradley's Penn State roots go back more than three decades. He went from special teams captain to graduate assistant in 1979, and has been in Happy Valley ever since. He took over as defensive coordinator after Sandusky resigned in 1999, and the Nittany Lions are third in the country in scoring defense (12.4 points per game) this year. They rank eighth in total defense (282.3 yards per game).
Bradley was Paterno's lead assistant on the field for the last 11 seasons, and considered the leading in-house candidate to replace his Hall of Fame boss.
"I am who I am, I'm not going to change," Bradley said. "I'm not going to pretend I'm somebody else."
Bradley grew up in Johnstown, a western Pennsylvania mining town, as the second oldest of seven kids (three boys and four girls). His father, Jim, played basketball for Pittsburgh but, like many Irish Catholics, the Bradleys' football allegiances were to Notre Dame. The Penn State connection started with his older brother, Jim, who played defensive back for Paterno from 1973-74.
Tom played defensive back from `77-78, and his younger brother, Matt, was a linebacker from `79-81.
Bradley also encouraged students, some of whom scuffled with police Wednesday night, to act with class at Saturday's game. He also said his team, which had met earlier in the morning, would be ready to play.
Bradley acknowledged the magnitude of the job ahead of him, saying he had not slept. Asked when he might, Bradley flashed one of the few smiles of the morning.
"Do I look that bad?" he said.

PARK: 96 Acres is a public art installation and data visualization proposal by artist and designer Landon Brown and developed for the Chicago arts and advocacy organization 96 Acres. 96 Acres is a series of community-engaged, site-responsive projects that involve community stakeholders' ideas about social and restorative justice issues, and that examines the impact of incarceration at the Cook County Jail on Chicago's West Side.
Since 2014, eight artists and artists groups have produced on-site art projects chosen from almost fifty call for proposals from all over the U.S. PARK by Landon Brown was identified as a project that would create opportunities for community engagement, while at the same time interrogating the jail's history, and provoking a dialogue around its political, historical, and cultural resonance. Working collaboratively, the PARK team of Landon Brown, 96 Acres Director and artist Maria Gaspar, Simone Alexander (Enlace Chicago), and Ayana Contreras (Vocalo), will produce the PARK event in August, 2015.
Funding for 96 Acres and PARK has been generously provided by The National Endowment for the Arts, the Chicago Community Trust, The Field Foundation, and Local SSA #25 with fiscal support by the Chicago Public Art Group and production support by Enlace Chicago.
