Have a favorite subject?
English. I love to read and write.
Do you have a favorite book?
I don't have a favorite. I like so many. I like fiction. Any fiction you can throw at me. I finish, like, a book a day.
Favorite movie?
I hate watching movies when I read the books because I analyze everything. But I like most romance movies. I don't like action movies much, but I can do a romance movie. My favorite is probably The Notebook.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Europe (excluding the United Kingdom) (02/19/09)
TITLE: Among the Shafts of Cathedral Light
By Jim McWhinnie
As I leaned my weight into the door, its majestic weight began to yield. Then with its closing behind, I left the world of crowded, noisy madness into a solitary, quiet of holy light and shadows.
At first, the cathedral hushed the world I had left me, taking away its heated breathing. But then, not long after, the cathedral snatched away my panting breath and then began to breathe into me its timeless, eternal breath. And indeed, I must say, I could hear this sacred lady that had lingered here all these many generations whisper to me her sighs and prayers. She breathed the air of ancient saints, the air of faithful prayers, the air of candle smoke mixed with five centuries of hymns. She spoke in Latin; she spoke in French; she spoke in the language of farm boys now grown old.
My footsteps echoed off the stones and upward into the lower realms of heaven. I felt that if listened ever so carefully I might hear the very footsteps of immortality, the weary feet of humble pilgrims finishing their journey from once where they were to where they were called to be. Six hundred steps it took to make my journey down the holy mile, to stand amidst the shafts of stained glass light that descended down through dusty air and unto me. I closed my eyes so that I might feel that light, that light of majestic red and regal blue and old, so very old gold. The light felt warm. The light felt like mother's grace. The light felt like the touch of wisdom far wiser than my own.
There I prayed midst the grand and noble towers of granite and glass. There I prayed humbled by the vastness of it all, in what ought to have been a strange land for a soul saved in white clapboard, country chapel. Yet, it felt like home. I could still hear townsfolk singing the well-worn hymns; I could hear the old preacher giving it all he had one more time; I could hear the water being poured into the baptismal font as a sinner knelt down to pray.
Yes, here among the shafts of cathedral light, the God who stops and visits country churches that are nearly lost on backwoods roads, came to sit with me in the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

About This Class
Every entrepreneur has a startup idea they'd like to get off the ground. Good news: Gone are the days when you have to spend millions of dollars to find out if your business idea will succeed or fail.
Whether you're looking to launch a tech startup or open a new restaurant, enroll in this class if you'd like to learn how to quickly validate your ideas.
In this class, I'll share the secrets behind the early success of Skillshare. We spent less than $5,000 to launch Skillshare and ended up raising over $10M. A lot of Skillshare's early success is directly correlated with talking to users, iterating, and moving fast. You'll learn how to:
- Communicate Your Idea. I'll define what an MVP is by using Skillshare as an example, then I'll discuss how to develop and communicate your idea with others.
- Conduct Customer Interviews. You'll find the holes you need to plug based on customer interviews.
- Build Your MVP. You'll define your MVP and begin setting initial goals.
- Test Your MVP. You'll optimize your MVP and share your plan with your peers.
You'll leave this class with a finalized Minimum Viable Product and the skills to define a great MVP for any future venture.
I've taught this class in-person to hundreds of students. Some of my past students have been featured on Mashable, The Next Web, and have started successful companies. Hope to have many more students that are successful!

How to CookCookie
How to Form Perfectly Sized Cookies (or Meatballs) Every Time
You could use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to get perfectly-sized, uniform cookie dough balls (or meatballs), scooping, leveling, dislodging into your hand, and then rolling so they're round balls instead of half spheres.
Or, you could do it an easier way.
We learned this trick from the February/March issue of the now-defunct Publix FamilyStyle Magazine:
- On a piece of parchment paper, roll out or press your mixture into a rectangle.
- Trim the sides so they're straight. Roll the side bits into a ball or two (or if it's cookie dough, eat it and tell no one).
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut the rectangle into even squares. To make sure you're getting even squares, you could use a ruler, but I use my fingers (they already have food on them): Place a certain number of fingers on the dough, mark with a little knife cut, then cut all the way along.
- Roll each square into a ball. That's it!
If your recipe calls for each ball to be a certain size, you can play with the square size to see which will give you what you're looking for. Cut one row of various sized squares, roll to see which is the right one for the job, pick the winner, then cut the rest of the dough.
Go forth:

Some people are saying the latest type of jeans goes too far.
First it was "jindows" or jeans with knee windows for $90 dollars, then it was fake dirty denim for $425 bucks.
But that's nothing compared to this detachable design.
"Convertible Jorts" can be worn as jeans with large open sections along the thighs. You can zip the lower part off to turn them into jean shorts.
They are the work of design house Opening Ceremony and will also set you back anywhere from $425 to about $500 bucks.
These are certainly not your mama's jeans!

A Dinner Table Study Game
A quick, engaging and fun way to review several different concepts is a hands-on activity called "I Have, Who Has?". Players compete with the clock, reviewing facts as quickly as possible. It's a game that you can play around the dinner table – before and after you eat. Your kids will be finishing their dinner faster than ever, ready to beat the clock again!
What You Need:
- 3x5 cards (cut in half)
- black marker
- stopwatch
What You Do:
On the first card, write:
I have START, Who has 1 x 2?
On the next card, write:
I have 2 Who has 2 x 2?
On the next card, write:
I have 4 Who has 3 x 2?
Continue making cards in this way through 12 x 2.
The last two cards should read:
I have 24 Who has END?
I have END. THE GAME IS OVER!
- Choose a concept your child needs to review, such as vocabulary, spelling, people or dates. For the purpose of this demonstration, simple math facts are used to show how to make the cards.
- Begin with the "Start" card.
- Shuffle and deal the cards. Depending on the number of cards and the number of players, deal players multiple cards (this makes it more challenging). Now you are ready to play!
- The first round is practice. The player with the "START" card begins by reading her card, "I have START. Who has 1 x 2?". The person who has the "2" card reads his card, "I have 2. Who has 2 x 2?". The person with the "4" card reads her card and play continues in this way until the last card is read. Now, read through the cards again and time yourselves with a stopwatch. Record the time and repeat the game, trying to finish faster each time.<
- Eat dinner and set a goal for how fast you will get through the cards after you eat!
- "I Have, Who Has?" is a fast, hectic game. Be prepared for players to get loud – and a little impatient!
- With this activity, you and your family can review any concept that requires rote memorization.

Taylor Seaman is a Finance major who will be graduating this spring. Taylor has been very active in campus clubs and the community and was a finalist for the Spark Awards. You can learn more about Taylor by reading the interview below.
CB: Tell a little us a little bit about your background.
TS: My name is Taylor Seaman and I am a Senior Finance major at CBU. I was born, raised, and have lived in the Memphis area my entire life. I have two loving parents, Tommy and Denise Seaman who have helped shape who I am today. I also have a little brother and sister, Bryan and Kaitlyn. I attended and graduated from St. Benedict at Auburndale High School. During my time at SBA, I learned a lot about the Catholic faith and how giving back and helping the community was important. During my sophomore year at SBA, I went through the RCIA program and became a member of the Catholic Church. During my high school years, I also had a love for the game of baseball and played all 4 years. The values I learned at SBA as well as my love for the game helped me choose to attend CBU.
CB: Why did you choose CBU?
TS: During my time at SBA, I learned a lot about the Catholic faith and how giving back and helping the community was important. During my sophomore year at SBA, I went through the RCIA program and became a member of the Catholic Church. During my high school years, I also had a love for the game of baseball and played all 4 years before I was offered a scholarship to play at CBU. I also loved the small school environment that CBU seemed to have. The values I learned at SBA as well as my love for the game and the size of CBU helped me choose my college.
CB: What drew you to the field of finance and what has your experience been so far?
TS: Honestly, I loved the idea of money! Analyzing, evaluating, even the way it is manipulated interested me. I had always been a stellar student in the field of Mathematics and just simply loved the idea of using my math skills with money. My experience so far has been everything I could have ever imagined. I love Finance and have been very successful in all of my classes dealing with it. It was definitely the right field for me to go into and I could not be any happier with my choice.
CB: You have been highly involved with campus life. Tell us a little about your experience with campus activities, groups, fraternities/sororities, etc., and what it means to you.
TS: Being involved on campus is the single most important thing I would stress to any prospective student or even current freshmen or sophomores on campus. During my freshmen year, I was a member of the baseball team, but was not involved with any other organizations on campus. I believe that I was more or less getting a feel for the college environment and enjoying my first year of freedom. Towards the end of my freshman year, I realized that I needed to be involved in something on campus. Most of the faculty members didn't really know me and I was not seen participating with really anything on campus. I felt like I was missing out on all the wonderful things that CBU had to offer and was holding myself back from standing out in a crowd. During the Fall of my sophomore year, I decided to change this perspective. I decided to pledge Delta Sigma Pi, where I immediately inserted myself into a leadership role being the pledge class president. After being initiated in December, it was only a short 4 months before I was elected President of the entire Epsilon Psi Chapter, but this still was not enough. During the following summer, I attended a 5 day leadership conference in Seattle, Washington, and a 2 day conference the following fall that Delta Sigma Pi offered. Since joining Delta Sigma Pi my Sophomore year, I have received 4 Delta Sigma Pi Scholarships and was selected as the 2013 Mid-South Regional Collegian of the Year, but I was still not yet satisfied. During the Spring of my Junior year, I was approached by a School of Business faculty member about starting up a new Entrepreneurship organization on campus called Enactus. I was quick to jump on board with this idea and wanted to make a sustainable and lasting impact on CBU once I am gone. Dr. Vitali and I decided to pick a core group of 15 to start this organization. After selecting our beginning core group, we had officer elections where I was elected as President. Being a new organization on campus, we have had our initial struggles, but I am confident that by the time I graduate, I will have left a lasting impact on CBU and the community.
CB: Have you done any volunteer work or performed community service through any of the organizations you've been involved with?
TS: More than I can honestly remember! I believe it is extremely important to give back to the community and promote growth and change in the Memphis community. The first step in any community service or volunteer work is getting involved with an organization that shares these views!
CB: I understand you are completing an internship with FedEx. What can you tell me about your internship, the business, how you got there, and what you're learning in the process?
TS: My internship with FedEx was an amazing experience. It was great to find and work for a business that shares some of the same morals and values as me. FedEx operates through the PSP principal: People, Service, Profit. Any organization that puts people and service before profit really stands out to me. I received this internship opportunity largely because I went to Career Services on campus! This is where I first found out about the opportunity at FedEx. I applied, got an interview, and landed the summer internship all before February! During my internship, I was responsible for learning all the bells and whistles of a new software program that my department had recently begun using. After I learned just about everything there was to learn about the program, I had to create a user guide for others who would begin to use the program after I was gone. I excelled in my work as an intern at FedEx which lead to my recent job offer for a full time position upon my graduation. I recently accepted the job offer of being an Associative Corporate Financial Systems Analyst. All of this was made possible from taking a small step through Career Services' door.
CB: What accomplishment are you most proud of at this point and what would you like to achieve next?
TS: I think I am most proud of being selected as a finalist for the Spark Award. The Spark Award in the collegiate category was given to an individual who had ignited positive change in the Memphis area. Although I did not win, it was a great honor sitting at a table with other finalists. I also was happy to see that FedEx was a recipient of one of the corporate Spark Awards.
I honestly don't know what is next. I am a true believer that when an opportunity presents itself, I need to jump on it and give my all in making it successful.
CB: What are your plans and goals for life after college?
TS: My goals in life after college, hmmm. You know, I haven't really thought about my extended future. If I had to talk about my years to follow graduation, I would like to own a house, get married, have children, receive a promotion, continue to participate in community service, and keep the relationships with the people that have got me this far in life.
CB: You have worked very hard to get to where you are right now. Who (or what) has inspired/motivated you?
TS: I would have to say my mom and dad. I grew up on the outskirts of Memphis in a pretty rural community where there was always work to be done. From an early age, whenever I would be lazy and not complete a task to the best of my ability my parents would drill one thing into my head. "If you're going to do something, do it right the first time." This principal has motivated me throughout my life. Every time I take on a new challenge, a new project, a new class, or even a new assignment, I have worked hard to make sure that I am doing it right the first time. I think that this discipline has gotten me to be where I am today. All of my success can be traced back to this fundamental principal.
CB: What will you remember the most when you look back on your college experience at CBU?
TS: The single thing that I will remember most about my experience at CBU will be the lasting relationships I have made with other students, professors, and faculty members. They are the people that have helped make me successful in my time at CBU and the gratitude and appreciation that I have for them is overwhelming. I don't think I could ever thank each and every one of them enough, but I hope they realize how important they were to me.
CB: Looking back at all that you've learned and experienced, what advice would you give to a first-time freshman?
TS: Get involved! Your college experience is completely dependent on the decisions that you make. If you do not want to be just another face in a crowd, then get involved and get busy! There is no such thing as a non-busy college student, so it is best to go ahead and get involved with something important. Also, I would tell them to use their resources on campus. CBU has so much to offer their students that some may not even be aware of. When the time comes for you to get a real job, visit career services and they will help place you in the exact job that you are looking for. And last, but not least, your professors are your friends, not foes! Get to know your professors and develop lasting relationships with them. They are at CBU because they love teaching and helping develop students into professionals.

New Orleans, Always, in the Rear View Mirror, She Seethes Ecstatically
Peaches En Randalia #23
The motel were staying in is right next to a brick courtyard that used to be a holding chamber for slavesAfricans, prisoners of war back in the dark continent, they were shipped as human sardines, urinating and defecating, one atop the other, sordid mathematics created outrageous biology on a ship crossing the Atlantic. New Orleans has them bolted to a brick wall, a brick wall that someday will be a school house for little white children and a teacher, brick school house burns down, little white children and a teacher perish. Justice? No. Two atrocities dont create equality. The black slaves died together and so did those white children. Teacher? Oh, she had a lesson or two, but the cruel flames of death mock, mock her arrogant indolence in the face of reality: how can one be used as barter from the Old to the New? Segue from Old Treachery to the New Sublime: Natives offer friendship, Europeans push the Natives west, continually west until less than one percent, less than one percent survive, mathematics disrupt biology, Thomas Jefferson negotiates the Louisiana Purchase, Tennessee Williams documents the Louisiana Refuse, Andrew Jackson encourages slavery, Abraham Lincoln emancipates slaves, John Wilkes Booth murders Lincoln, several assassinate Kennedy and elect Nixon who contributes compost to Southeast Asia and the American Dream, the dream that this land is your land: Woody Guthrie begets Bob Dylan who echoes Theodore Roosevelt who introduces environmental issues onto the political platform, wooden frame sags

Groping around in the dark, that's where I am today. The lights are on, but there is not much to see. At least that's the way it feels when I'm debugging this nasty piece of spaghetti. There's no one to blame but myself. I rolled this lump of pasta.
The debugger is nice, but it's difficult to get the big picture when my data structures are huge and nested to the nth degree. I can click, click, click at the tree window and follow it to my heart's content, but the bits I need to compare and track are at the deep outer edges. So I resort to all sorts of 'backdoor' debugging; writing giant messages out to the console, and then debugging changes from looking at the code to staring at my own obscure hieroglyphics. I'm sure you do it too.
So I was thinking that we (meaning you all out there) could compile some sort of compendium of secret tricks for debugging apps that are unwieldy just due to the large amounts of data and or complexity in their states.
I'll start.
1) Writing tons of obscure messages to the console window.
2) Abandoning all hope, avoiding the problem, blogging instead, and hoping my brain works on the problem in the background.
3) Staring at the code outside the debugger until I magically see the problem. (This actually works much of the time.)
4) …

Ovid was born in Sulmo, in central Italy. His family was of equestrian rank and therefore fairly well off (cf. Catullus' family background). Ovid was given the standard education for a young man of his rank and was groomed for a career in law (the ancient equivalent of the civil service). He held a couple of minor posts, but then turned to poetry, for which (he tells us) he had displayed a natural talent since youth. He soon won the patronage of M. Valerius Messalla Corvinus (64 B.C. - A.D. 8), a patrician who had won fame as an orator, soldier, and linguist and was a well-known patron of the arts.
[Messalla fought on the Republican side at Philippi but later became a supporter of Antony. He transferred his allegiance to Octavian in disgust at Antony's liaison with Cleopatra and fought against Antony at Actium. He was the man who proposed the title of pater patriae ('father of the fatherland') for Augustus in 2 B.C.]
Ovid was not a part, therefore, of the 'inner circle' of Augustan poets associated with Maecenas. He did become part of the younger, 'fast' crowd at Rome, however, the most prominent member of which was the emperor's daughter, Julia (see below).
Ovid's poetic output is quite varied. In addition to the Metamorphoses, he composed collections of sophisticated love elegies (the Amores), a collection of fictitious letters (in verse) written by famous women from ancient myth (Heroides), a poetic handbook on the use of cosmetics (Medicamina faciei femineae; cf. Amores 1.14), a tragedy (Medea, now lost, but much praised in antiquity: cf. Metam. 7), the Ars Amatoria (usually called The Art of Love among English writers, but in reality a technical handbook [in verse] on how to commit adultery [amor]: cf. Amores 1.4), and a poetic account of the Roman religious calendar (Fasti), describing the various annual rites, their origins, and the myths with which they were associated. Despite the variety of topics and genres evident in Ovid's works, there are certain elements that characterize his oeuvre as a whole (note, e.g., his interest in love themes and in the emotional distress of women wronged); above all, his works are marked by wit, sophistication, and irreverence, the latter often taking a particularly subtle form of parody. (E.g., the Ars Amatoria can be read as indirect mockery of Vergil's Georgics: where Vergil celebrates the life of the country and traditional Roman morality by composing a verse handbook on farming, Ovid composes a similar work celebrating the sophisticated life of the young man-about-town and the pursuit of amor.)
In A.D. 8, at the height of his career, Ovid was suddenly banished to Tomi on the northwest shore of the Black Sea. This would have been a devastating blow for any Roman, but was particularly distressing for Ovid, who found himself separated from his circle of friends and fellow literati, and from the sophisticated society of Rome in which he was at home. His final works are a series of laments addressed to Augustus from the lonely isolation of exile: Ovid begs the emperor's forgiveness at length, but is quite vague regarding the cause of his banishment. His most specific reference (Tr. 4.1099) mentions 'a poem and a mistake' (carmen et error) but expressly denies that he had committed any crime (scelus).
The poem in question is usually assumed to be the Ars Amatoria (published c. A.D. 1). This work clearly would not have found found favor with Augustus, who (as we have seen) promoted his reign as a spiritual and moral, as well as a cultural, renaissance. The man who sponsored the moral legislation of 18-17 B.C. and, more significantly, that of A.D. 9 clearly frowned upon Ovid's ditties on love affairs and parties, harmless as they may have been. Ovid was out of step with the official policies of Augustus' regime and seemed to go out of his way to poke fun at the high-sounding ideals of that regime as portrayed in the works of Horace and Vergil. (Contrast, e.g., Horace, Odes 3.2 and Ovid, Amores 1.9.) The timing of Ovid's banishment suggests that his exile may have been used as a symbolic gesture on the emperor's part, a signal that the regime was renewing its efforts to pull Rome out of its moral decline. (Note that the emperor's granddaughter Julia, the daughter of Julia and Agrippa [see below], also was banished in A.D. 8.) To that degree, the 'poem' to which Ovid alludes may have been no more than the stated excuse for his banishment.
As for the 'mistake': it seems that Ovid saw something that he was not supposed to have seen. The common assumption today is that he took part in one of the notorious escapades of the emperor's daughter *Julia.
[Julia (39 B.C. - A.D. 14) was Augustus' daughter by his first wife, Scribonia. (Ironically, given the way things turned out, many think that she is the divine child whose birth is celebrated in Vergil's fourth Eclogue.) Her life was far from enviable and gives a good indication of how readily female children in important families could become pawns in their fathers' dynastic machinations, particularly when 'dad' happened to be emperor. The women of Augustus' family were compelled to live lives of severe simplicity and to model themselves after the women of early Rome, becoming living symbols of Augustus' restoration of the pristine mores of the Early Republic: "The education of his daughter and granddaughters included even spinning and weaving; they were forbidden to say or do anything, either publicly or in private, that could not decently figure in the imperial day-book. He took severe measures to prevent them forming friendships without his consent..." (Suetonius: R. Graves tr.). At 14 years of age (in 25 B.C.), Julia was married to the dashing young *Marcellus (42-23 B.C. — the son of C. Claudius Marcellus and Octavia [Augustus' sister]). The marriage was dynastic in nature, intended to mark Augustus' son-in-law as the heir apparent. After Marcellus' sudden death in 23 (see Aeneid 6.854ff.), Julia was married (in 21 B.C.) to Augustus' leading military advisor, *Agrippa (64-12 B.C.), a man older than her father. Again, the intention was to ensure an orderly succession. Agrippa and Julia had a number of children, including another Julia (see above) and Agrippina, mother of the future emperor Caligula. On Agrippa's death in 12 B.C. Julia was again married off, this time to the future emperor *Tiberius (in 11 B.C.), who was compelled to divorce his wife Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippa's daughter by an earlier wife), with whom he was very much in love. The marriage of Julia and Tiberius, predictably, was not a happy one and Julia began to take part in a series of ever more scandalous affairs. Her profligate lifestyle eventually became an embarrassment to the Augustan regime. In 2 B.C. she was banished to a small island near Naples where she was put under house arrest, with severe restrictions regarding her visitors, her diet, and her daily pastimes. In A.D. 14 she died of malnutrition, virtually starved to death.]
Ovid seems to have been unfortunate enough to have gotten caught up in Julia's company and perhaps was involved in the affairs of the younger Julia (daughter of Augustus' daughter Julia) as well.
To a certain degree, Ovid's poetry can be seen to reflect an Augustan 'generation gap'. Where the poets Vergil and Horace give voice to the combination of angst, guilt, relief, and gratitude that mark the age that witnessed the collapse of the Republic and the rise of Augustus, Ovid's generation could not remember a time when Augustus had not been in control. (Note: Ovid was born after the death of Julius Caesar and was only 12 years old when the battle of Actium occurred.) Like the generation of the 1950s on this continent, Ovid's contemporaries knew only peace and plenty, and were quite willing to mock the older regime and its dour obsessions. To this degree Ovid can be seen as the antithesis of Horace and Vergil. One example: we have seen how the Jupiter of Horace's Odes (e.g. Ode 3.5) and of the Aeneid is associated with Augustus: both are stern authority figures who impose order and rationality upon an unruly and recalcitrant world. Contrast the Jupiter of Metam. 1.163ff. (pp. 33-36 in Innes' translation): the "mighty Thunderer" who lives in the Milky Way (which is expressly compared to the Palatine Hill, where Augustus' palace was located) and determines to wipe out the present sin-ridden generation in disgust at its crimes, promising to create "a new stock of men, unlike the former ones." There is nothing overtly parodic here, but it is tempting to see in this blustering Jupiter a caricature of the august god of Horace and Vergil, and to detect uncomfortable similarities to the Augustan Principate and its program of moral, social, and political regeneration.
Herein lies one of the principal distinctions between the poetry of Ovid and that of Catullus. In many ways, the two poets are quite similar: the works of both present the life of the wealthy, carefree, irreverent young man-about-town. In contrast to Catullus, however, Ovid's work seems continually to reflect an awareness of authorized forms of literary expression and moral deportment against which he playfully rebels. Catullus may poke fun at the censorious older generation (e.g., the "critical old men" of poem 5), but does so in a vein that recalls the rebellious youth of New Comedy. Ovid, by contrast, seems to enjoy tweaking "the Authorities" (i.e., the Augustan regime) in a manner that, for all its clever sophistication, suggests a type of adolescent naughtiness. Whether he intended the allusion or not, his relationship to the dour Augustan moral program recalls the contrast between the humorless Minerva and the rebellious young Arachne at Metamorphoses 6.70-128.
Others compare Ovid to Oscar Wilde: both were outsiders who used their subversive wit to gain admission to the upper echelons of society; both lived a life at odds with the official morality of the ruling regime (Ovid and the life of amor vs. the Augustan Principate; Wilde's not so covert homosexuality vs. the Victorian Age); both died miserable deaths when that regime decided that it was time to swat them down.
Ovid's poetry is often dismissed as frivolous fluff, and to a large degree it is. But it is very sophisticated fluff and, if read carefully, presents interesting insights into the less serious side of the Augustan Age.

Gonçalo Amaral strikes again against the McCanns
Google translation from The 3 Arguidos: 24 HORAS - Amaral & Anthony Bennett
Former English lawyer counts on Former PJ Inspector
A former British lawyer has a foundation that exists to tell the true story of Madeleine McCann. And he wants the McCanns accused for negligence.
By Luis Ferreira
Gonçalo Amaral might be called to testify in England in the scope of the Maddie case. A new Foundation with the name of Madeleine intends that the process is reopened with the intention of finding the answers to what happened to the older daughter of the McCanns. "When that happens Amaral will be a key-witness" said to the 24 Horas Anthony Bennett, a retired lawyer that is the maximum responsible for the foundation that was created after the former coordinator of the Polícia Judiciária published his book "Maddie, the Truth of the Lie".
The Foundation has edited its own book, called "What Really Happened to Madeleine McCann? - 60 Reasons which suggest that she was not abducted" and it is sold in England for 7 Euros.
Gonçalo Amaral has been contacted in order to elucidate legal reasons that involve a possible reopening of the process in England. "It will be more difficult to reopen the case over here. But in England, to the contrary of what has been alleged by the Courts, who say that they have no jurisdiction about the case, it is possible that might happen", explained Amaral to the 24 Horas, clarifying that it is a matter of International Law. "The little girl is English, the parents are English and they live there".
Proving Negligence
One of Amaral's aims is to prove that there was negligence by the couple in the care for the girl. For that reason, in England, through the site of the foundation, there's a petition that wants to see punished the act of "leaving alone at home a child under 12 years of age". After that it is to prove that the McCann were negligent when they left their 3 children unguarded", says Amaral.
The foundation does not exist to raise funds to look for Maddie, but shares the point of view of Amaral, who defends that the child died in Praia da Luz. The foundation has caused the rage of the McCanns, which have advanced with a law suite against the use of the name Madeleine.
MOITA: Gonçalo Amaral is not the first PJ inspector who enters in a race for mayor. Moita Flores has already done it and won for Santarém, by the PSD. But now, Moita reveals that has been contacted… by the PS, to be a candidate again to the City Hall. "There have been conversations", he told the newspaper "Mirante".
On The Side
The Former PJ inspector is about to start a political career but he is still connected with the case that brought him to the limelight.
He wants to change the city of Olhão
Gonçalo Amaral may be the PSD candidate to the City Hall of Olhão, running against the actual socialist Mayor Francisco Leal. That only became possible because he is retired from the PJ, which happened in the sequence of the Maddie case. Amaral is a militant member of the PSD for the last 7 years, but he says that he has "voted for the PSD since long ago". He is going to keep doing in politics what he did as a policeman. "I shall continue to be concerned about the people, about their well-being, understanding why they act in a certain manner", said to 24 Horas. Amaral believes in a victory because "people like to change when there is a lot to do" and he speaks about Olhão as one of the poorest regions in the country.

In his opinion, Rory McIlroy should be a unanimous choice for 2012 PGA TOUR Player of the Year and while he will win the award, it will not be a unanimous decision for a number of reasons including the fact that many players on the PGA TOUR are very insular and do not tend to vote for players who are world travelers as often as they would vote for players who make the PGA TOUR their exclusive home.
On the question of Rookie of the Year, you have a number of very worthy candidates and many PGA TOUR players look at quality of win when it comes to their vote. Some players look at Jonas Blixt's win in the Frys.com Open as being the biggest win while others look at Ted Potter, Jr.'s win in The Greenbrier Classic in part because Tiger & Phil were in the field at The Greenbrier. Hoggard believes that John Huh will win the award because of the fact that he qualified for the Tour Championship and that will be enough to separate him from the other Rookie of the Year candidates.
It was very surprising that Comeback Player of the Year was not even offered for 2012. There are a number of worthy candidates including Tiger Woods and J.B. Holmes but Hoggard seems to think that the awarding of the honor to Steve Stricker in consecutive years soured many people on the award and as a result, it is not being handed out. Ben Curtis is another candidate for the award although he would have personally voted for J.B. Holmes. Looking ahead, if Jarrod Lyle were to make one start in 2013 after his battle against leukemia, he would win the Comeback Player of the Year on a unanimous vote.
On the subject of a possible ban on anchoring or on the long putter, the language of a potential ban if it were to involve anchoring would include stating that players will be allowed to have two points of contact between the body and the golfer. If that is indeed the case, a player could anchor his putter as long as he or she held it one hand or a player could anchor the putter to their forearm.
Charlie Beljan's week at Disney where he went to the hospital on Friday and won on Sunday cannot be scripted even by the best Hollywood writers. It was truly an unbelievable circumstance and he found it difficult to figure what the doctors actually told Beljan on Friday at the hospital in relation to whether or not he should even try to play on Saturday. But regardless of what they said, he played and he won.
Looking ahead to 2013 and how 2012 rookies will perform, Hoggard said that he is looking for good performances from Jonas Blixt and Charlie Beljan. Both of them took some time to get that first win but both have been touted as players who could become incredibly successful once they broke through for their first PGA TOUR wins. Beljan's 2013 season will now include the Hyundai Tournament of Champions as well as all of the invitational events and it was special to see Beljan express his excitement at exactly what this win meant for his life.

France may be frustrated after being held 1-1 by Serbia on Friday, but the prolific Abdallah Yaisien was determined to keep his chin up when speaking to UEFA.com after the game.
France begun the UEFA European Under-17 Championship among the favourites to lift the title, but have thus far struggled to stamp their mark on Group A. Held 2-2 against England before adding another point to their tally against the hosts in Indjija, Les Mini-Bleus nevertheless know that victory against Denmark – already confirmed as section winners – in Novi Sad on Monday will be enough to earn a semi-final berth.
"It was a frustrating result for us, of course, given how the game went, and we wanted to win," Yaisien said following the Serbia draw. "But with this result, we still have our destiny in our own hands for the third game against Denmark.
Our coach told us that we could have won but we should stay positive ahead of the final game of the group against Denmark. We will have to refocus on the third game and make the most of the two days of rest ahead of us. Denmark are qualified and are under no pressure to get a result in their next game, which may be an advantage for us. We will give all we have and hope for a victory against them."
The Paris Saint-Germain FC playmaker scored eight goals during France's qualification campaign, including four in the defining 9-0 triumph over Belarus. And for Yaisien, representing his country is the pinnacle for any player.
"Playing for France means a lot to me on an emotional level," he said. "My goal is to play well with this team and participation in this tournament is something I have been working towards and preparing for all season. It's one of my top goals of the season to play well during this competition."

Stitches for Hagar
Georgian woman uses hobby to transform lives
Most afternoons, Emily Gross, of Kennesaw, Georgia, combats human trafficking with her sewing machine. Two years ago, she started taking online orders for children's clothing. While her own children nap from 2:00 to 4:00pm, Emily sews. Each month, she donates 100% of the profits from her cottage industry, called 'Stitches 418' to Hagar. As a result, Emily's sewing is transforming lives of women and children from devastating backgrounds.
Emily says that she wasn't really conscious of human trafficking until a few years back. Suddenly, she was compelled to get involved. Without much money of her own to give, she got creative. "One thing I knew how to do is sew," Emily told us. Beginning with a FaceBook blast and an announcement on her blog, she posted photos of clothing she was ready to make and began taking orders.
Emily's enterprise is small scale. She doesn't even keep fabric on hand. But each month, without fail, she sends off a check to Hagar. It's always a different amount. It's always appreciated. And it always helps women and children from backgrounds of trafficking and abuse become whole again.
Emily isn't looking for a whole lot more business, as her sewing time is limited. But she'd still love to have you visit her blog. Most of all, Emily wants to encourage others to come up with their own ideas. "Everybody has something that they already know how to do. For me, it was sewing. So this has worked perfectly for me. I love doing it."

Nebraska Coach's Prayers One Year Later
Almost a year after he led the on-field prayer in the first game without Joe Paterno, Nebraska's assistant coach, Ron Brown says he's praying for Jerry Sandusky. In an interview after Nebraska's win over Penn State on Saturday, Brown who is known as being a devout Christian, made headlines when he said that he spent most of Saturday "praying for Jerry Sandusky" and hoping that "the Lord would reach down and touch Sandusky's life."
"No matter how atrocious the sin was or how little it was, it's a failure before God. God is willing to forgive every sin," Brown said.
Last year, Brown was standing the center of the Penn State and Nebraska players, leading them in prayer as the stadium fell silent. It was to be the start of a very long healing process, a step away from the media, and a kind gesture from the opposing team. In the on-field prayer, Brown asks that Beaver Stadium and State College be protected.
Brown has garnered attention before for his conservative positions on religious based social issues. He stirred up some controversy earlier this year when he was quoted as saying, "Based on the Bible, homosexuality, the lifestyle of homosexuality, is a sin."

text: Finding Storage in Cincinnati, OH On the hunt for Cincinnati self storage? You've come to the right place! Storage.com is here to help you find a storage unit that specifically matches your storage needs. Whether you're moving to the area, need more space in your current living space, or are looking to use self storage for business, we can help you find a storage solution! COMMON USES FOR SELF STORAGE IN CINCINNATI Self storage facilities offer a wide range of services and storage unit sizes to accommodate different storage needs. By taking the time to identify the options that work best for your specific situation, you make things easier on yourself and will have a much more enjoyable storage experience. Let's take a look at a few common uses for Cincinnati mini storage, and some of the things you should consider. Moving to Cincinnati In a city with a population of over 2 million, people are constantly moving in and out of the area. With the average cost of living sitting at roughly 20% below the national average and great employment opportunities at rapidly growing companies like Graybach, The Business Backer, and Healthcare Regional Marketing, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Cincinnati is attracting new residents. If you're in the process of making a move to Cincinnati and plan on renting a storage unit to help during this time, there are a few things to consider: Determining storage unit size - When moving the contents of an entire home, you're going to be renting a larger storage unit. But renting a storage unit that's too large means you're wasting money. Before you make the decision on which unit size to rent, make a detailed inventory of everything that will be stored. It will give you a much better idea of the space you will need. Finding a storage facility with drive-up access - Moving the contents of a home means moving couches, mattresses, dressers, desks, and other heavy items. Believe us when we tell you that renting a storage unit with drive-up access is the only way to go during a move, as you'll be able to pull your car or moving truck right up to your unit and unload everything without having to carry it across the facility. Flexible leases - In the instance of moving, self storage is usually a short-term solution used until a new living space has been identified or is ready for move in. This can sometimes be a few weeks or a few months. Fortunately, most Cincinnati storage facilities have month-to-month leases; some may even have week-to-week. Using Storage While Attending College in Cincinnati If you're among the 40,000+ students enrolled at University of Cincinnati, or you attend other schools in the area like Xavier University or Mount St. Joseph University, renting a storage unit during school breaks might be on your mind. Especially over summer breaks when many students head home for the summer, self storage is a better option than renting a moving truck and driving everything home for a few months. Some things to think about when renting a Cincinnati storage unit over the summer include: Renting storage during a high-demand season - Not only are other students trying to rent storage units during this time, but it's also a busy season for storage due to people buying and selling homes. Stay ahead of the game and start looking well before you need to use storage. Using smaller unit sizes - Depending on how much you plan to store, a 5x5 or a 5x10 storage unit should be more than capable of holding your things. A 5x5 storage unit will typically work for students moving out of the dorm rooms and rent for $25 to $50 a month. If you're moving out of an apartment and have more furniture, a 5x10 storage unit will rent for around $40 to $60 a month. You can also share a storage unit with a roommate or friend to save money. Choosing a facility location - Since you'll likely be moving your things to a storage unit at the beginning of the summer and moving them out at the end, proximity to campus doesn't have to be high on your priority list. Some storage units near University of Cincinnati rent for nearly double of those farther away. If you'd like to save some money, keep this in mind. Living in Downtown Cincinnati When you live in Downtown Cincinnati, you're close to all of the action. Having the ability to walk to restaurants and nightlife options in the area, easy access to concerts at Fountain Square and U.S. Bank Arena, and watching games at Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark means you'll always have something to do. There is a downside to living downtown, though, and that's the lack of space in apartments, lofts, and condos. That's why residents of Downtown Cincinnati often use storage units to get additional space. In these situations, Cincinnati storage units are often used to hold seasonal clothing and decorations or even modes of transportation, such as a car, motorcycle, or bike. It's a great way for downtown residents to have enough space for all of their items without having to downsize or upgrade to a larger apartment. When looking for mini storage in Downtown Cincinnati, keep these things in mind: Proximity to your home - If you plan on keeping belongings you need frequently, being able to walk to the facility is a must. You wouldn't want to drive your car or ride your bike unnecessarily, would you? Access hours - When storing things you might need at a moment's notice, make sure you can get into the storage facility. Extended access hours or even 24-hour access would be a good idea in this instance. PROTECTING YOUR BELONGINGS IN CINCINNATI STORAGE When looking for self storage in Cincinnati, the safety of your belongings should be at the front of your mind. There are two things you should look out for to make sure your things remain safe while in storage: Security features - Storage facilities throughout Cincinnati offer security features ranging from basic to more advanced. Basic features include gated access and unit locks. Advanced security options include alarmed units, video surveillance, and resident managers. Climate control - Items like electronics, antiques, and photos are susceptible to damage caused by extreme temperatures or humidity. With climate control, you can protect your storage items by maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level inside your unit. RENT YOUR CINCINNATI STORAGE UNIT You've seen what storage can do for you and which features make the most sense for your situation. Now, it's time to rent. All you have to do is find the storage unit that matches your personal needs, and you can reserve your unit directly on our website, or by calling in to speak with one of our storage representatives. 13 Things to Know About Living in Cincinnati Finding a job in Cincinnati won't be difficult if you plan to move there, considering it is home to nine Fortune 500 companies. With a growing job market with no intention of stopping, it's a great place for grads. Check out this Cincinnati city guide to find out why living here is pretty great.

How to Drink Aloe Water
Aloe vera is a plant that belongs to the cactus family. Aloe vera has many applications as a natural remedy, some of which have been studied and some of which are purely anecdotal. Aloe vera can be used to treat constipation and might be effective in treating high cholesterol and ulcerative colitis, according to MedlinePlus. One of the easiest ways to take aloe vera by mouth is to prepare your own aloe water.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Use fresh aloe vera leaves whenever possible. The pulpy flesh of the leaves contain the most juice when used immediately after cutting them from the plant. If you wait, you'll lose at least part of the juice. If you don't have access to an aloe vera plant, look for concentrated aloe juice, sold in small bottles at health food stores and vitamin shops.
Step 2
Peel the leaves and remove the pulp. Either mash it with a fork or drop it inside a blender. Add water and blend well. The proportion of aloe to water depends on your taste. Start with 8 oz. of water for every medium-size aloe leaf. Add more or less depending on whether the flavor is palatable or not. If you're using concentrated juice, read the label to see what ratio of juice to water you need to use.
Step 3
Drink 2 oz. of the aloe water twice a day to start. If it doesn't cause diarrhea, you can increase the dose to 4 oz. twice a day. You might need to experiment with different proportions of water and aloe until you find the right one. If you experience stomach cramps, frequent or loose bowel movements, nausea, or other side effects, adjust the dose accordingly.

A healthy diet is defined as the food intake that helps maintain or improve general health. A healthy diet lowers many chronic health risks, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
A healthy diet involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water.
A healthy diet needs to have a balance of macro-nutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), calories to support energy needs, and micro-nutrients to meet the needs for human nutrition without inducing toxicity or excessive weight gain from consuming excessive amounts.
The World Health Organization (WHO) makes the following recommendations for a healthy diet:
(1) Achieve an energy balance and a healthy weight
(2) Limit energy intake from total fats and shift fat consumption away from saturated fats to unsaturated fats and towards the elimination of trans-fatty acids
(3) Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts
(4) Limit the intake of simple sugar
(5) Limit salt / sodium consumption from all sources and ensure that salt is iodized
(6) Sufficient essential amino acids to provide cellular replenishment and transport proteins. Fruits such as avocado and pumpkin seeds also have almost all of the essential amino acids.
(7) Essential micro-nutrients such as vitamins and certain minerals.

Farm slurry tank fumes death 'accidental'
The death of a worker who tried to fix an anaerobic biodigester on a Dorset farm was accidental, a jury has found.
Matthew Pitt, 29, was overcome by fumes while working on the giant tank of slurry and farming waste at Lowbrook Farm, Belchalwell, in 2009.
He was taken to hospital but never regained consciousness.
The inquest at Bournemouth Town Hall heard he may have removed his mask and was poisoned by hydrogen sulphide gas.
Baby daughter
During the inquest, the jury was told Mr Pitt had been working alongside another man, David Bartlett, to remove the roof of the tank to fix a blockage.
Mr Bartlett told the inquest that they were both wearing masks when they started the work.
After opening the seal, both men passed out, the court was told.
Mr Bartlett said that when he regained consciousness he was not wearing his mask.
He looked over to his colleague and saw that he was not wearing his mask either.
Mr Bartlett ran for help and Mr Pitt, from Sturminster Newton, was given CPR and airlifted to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Mr Pitt's parents, Jan and Ray, said in a statement after the verdict: "We have heard evidence of the lack of care and responsibility towards Matthew, and from those he worked with, and for, on that fateful day.
"In Matthew's case, it was clear that his task should have been undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced people.
"The real tragedy of this accident is that his daughter, Lauren, will grow up not knowing her daddy."
The £750,000 biodigester had been installed a year before the accident and worked by burning methane gas from rotting manure, crops or slurry to produce electricity.
But it also produced highly poisonous hydrogen sulphide, which smells like rotten eggs.
Mr Pitt had become a father eight months before he died.
A joint investigation by police and the Health and Safety Executive at the time found there was "insufficient evidence to support a prosecution for manslaughter or corporate manslaughter".

I did that with a pineapple bum.
And for almost 2 years it grew and grew and grew and grew and grew and I had to prune it, and it grew and grew.. then withered and died..
What a bugger... They take a long time to produce 1 fruit and I missed out.
You'll notice - at least I have - that it's hard to get a pineapple with a full bum on it. They cut them off right down, so .. as far as Im concerned.. you can't grow them.
And most seeded fruits etc, are sterile or produce very sour runts.
Even my poor avacoda seeds just turned into black balls as I tried to get them to start.
I'm just a killer of anything that grows in dirt. I noticed my cactus today, even looks like it's trying to run away from me.
I think the pineapple harvesters cut the tops off of pineapples and let them fall to the ground, where they start rooting and grow to full fruit once more, I think that was showed in a movie called diamond head?

Homophobia Exposed!Peter Espeut
I must congratulate the gay lobby for conducting one of the slickest and most comprehensive public-relations campaigns I have ever seen.
In their struggle to remake the world in their own image, they have taken on every social and political institution, including the family, the school, the Church and the State. By dressing up their cause as one of 'human rights' and 'justice', they have managed to capture much of the discourse, and make gains in supposedly sensible places such as Europe and the United States of America. Even the Episcopal Church has lost its way.Describing an element of their strategy in my column last week, I wrote: "The gay lobby abuses all those who disagree with their lifestyle by branding them as mentally ill, as 'homophobic' - a word which they have concocted."
In his column last Sunday, 'The 'facetiest' red man in Jamaica' (not referring to me, by the way), Gordon Robinson, wrote: "By the way, Peter, 'homophobia' is very much a real word and a real worldwide disgrace. It's not 'concocted'. Look at the Oxford Dictionary."Gordon is usually more perceptive. The Oxford Dictionary contains words in use, whether concocted or properly derived. My point is that the word 'homophobia' has been specifically invented as part of the campaign to 'normalise' the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lifestyle, by asserting that persons who disagree with it are psychologically disturbed.
'Phobia' in Greek means 'irrational fear of', and 'homo' comes from the Greek word 'homoios', which means 'same', as opposed to 'heteros', which means 'different'. The word 'homosexual' refers to persons of the same sex (gender), while heterosexual refers to persons of different gender.
'Homophobia' then would mean 'an irrational fear of sameness', which is meaningless. What humans actually fear is people who are different from them (heterophobia?). 'Homophobia' is a word (poorly) concocted as a campaign slogan intended to demean straight people who believe that homosexuality is not a lifestyle to be considered normal.The word 'homophobia' was coined by gay activist George Weinberg in the 1960s to refer to heterosexual men's fear that others might think they are gay. In his 1972 book Society and the Healthy Homosexual, Weinberg used the word 'homophobia' differently, as a personality profile to describe the psychological aversion to homosexuality. He describes the concept as a 'medical phobia', proposing that those who harbour prejudice against homosexuals are suffering from a psychological malady, an irrational state of mind. There is no doubt that the intention is to brand all people of conscience (including Christians, Jews and Muslims) who genuinely believe homosexuality to be an aberration as mentally ill.
Medically, there is no such phobia, but the concocted word has caught on, and those who use it - like Gordon Robinson - are unwittingly buying into the LGBT campaign. Intolerance towards gay people there certainly is, and a real worldwide disgrace it certainly is! But worldwide mental illness? No!
But give credit where credit is due: it has been an effective slogan.
'eye-for-an-eye' approach
If the cause of the LGBT lobby is just, and rational, they should be able to advance their cause through the use of reason, avoiding abusing their opponents in the same manner as gay people are abused. Manufacturing abusive words such as 'homophobia' is the sort of 'eye-for-an-eye' approach that will make the whole world blind.But the LGBT PR campaign is one of abuse, where they attack the messenger rather than trying to refute the message. Since religion (not just Christianity) is the main opponent of the normalisation of the LGBT lifestyle, the goal is to destroy and discredit religion, to demean the noble (if embattled) institution of marriage, and to redefine 'the family' in their own image.
George Davis, in a well-researched column ('Is Jamaica ready for the 'coming out' party?' Gleaner, December 12, 2012), demonstrates how "homosexuality is now firmly mainstream after years of strategic effort to have it permeate popular media". He writes: "But how did we get here? How did homosexuality wriggle its way into the mainstream, to be front and centre everywhere we look? The answer is startlingly simple: television." By first capturing Hollywood, the LGBT lobby is winning the media war.But I disagree with George on one point: He calls the LGBT victory an "immutable reality". The LGBT public-relations campaign (posing as a campaign for 'human rights' and 'justice') can be easily exposed and discredited as irrational and illogical and nonsensical. But if no one consistently answers and refutes these foolish arguments, people may believe they are true.

Long Live McCurry!
Reporters love the new guy on the plane.
PHILADELPHIA—"Long live McCurry," wrote the Boston Globe's Glen Johnson in a Tuesday pool report, distributed to the members of the traveling press corps who hunt the elusive Senatorus massachusetts. The occasion for this joyous outburst: John Kerry responded to a question, and the press credits Mike McCurry, the former Clinton press secretary and now the "adult on the plane" for the Kerry campaign, with making the Democratic nominee more accessible. "Will transcribe, but nothing earth-shaking," Johnson wrote. "At least he stopped to answer, though. Long live McCurry …"
McCurry denies that he's responsible for the shift and credits communications director Stephanie Cutter for pushing for more accessibility long before he arrived last week. Either way, the reporters don't care. We were just happy Thursday that Kerry was answering questions again. He did it twice this time, very quickly on the tarmac here with unified middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins and earlier in a more formal environment in Columbus, Ohio. Of Hopkins, Kerry said, "He was giving me tips. He told me exactly how to do it over the next days." Hopkins said, "Exactly, the left hands, the jabs, the whole nine yards." The Globe's Johnson asked, "So you're coming from the left, sir?" Kerry: "I'm not telling you where I'm coming from. That's the secret, right?" Hopkins: "That's right. You don't tell everyone, especially the opponent." For the record, Hopkins has successfully defended his title 19 times, which beats Bob Shrum's 0-7 mark.
In Columbus, Kerry took only three questions, but again, we're not complaining. ABC's Dan Harris asked: "You criticized, to the AP, the president for 'retreating,' I believe was your word, from Fallujah. Given the situation on the ground in Fallujah when there was an offensive there, when there was a rising civilian death toll, a rising criticism among Arab media for our actions there, what would you have done differently?"
Kerry responded in what was almost a reproachful tone, complaining about how "you people judge me" and how his policies "would have prevented Fallujah." Here's his response in full: "Let me tell you, I've said many times, I wouldn't have just done one thing differently in Iraq, I would have done almost everything differently. And when you people judge me, and the American people judge me on this, I want you to judge me on the full record. I stood in Fulton, Mo., and I gave the president advice about what he needed to do. He didn't take it. I stood at Georgetown University a year and a half ago, and I gave the president advice about what he needed to do. He didn't take it. I stood on the floor of the Senate and gave him advice about what he needed to do. He didn't take it. I've laid out a whole series of things I would have done that would have prevented Fallujah. Let me tell you, if the 4th Infantry Division and the diplomacy had been done with Turkey, you wouldn't have had a Fallujah. This president rushed to war, without a plan to win the peace. And ask the military leaders. Go ask the military leaders. General Shinseki told this country how many troops we'd need. The president retired him early for telling the truth. That's why you have Fallujah. That's why you have a mess in Iraq. And that's not the kind of leadership this nation deserves."
As for McCurry, I had dinner with him Thursday night. Here are some quick takeaways from our conversation:
—He's concerned that the message-masters at the Bush campaign, such as Nicolle Devenish and Mark McKinnon, have a better understanding of the Internet and nontraditional media than the Kerry campaign. The slow response to the Swift boat ads was a sign of that, a lack of awareness that voters can acquire information from places other than newspapers and the nightly news.
—John Glenn told Kerry Thursday not to worry about the polls that show Bush opening a big lead in Ohio, McCurry said. That always happens around this time, Glenn said, and the mistake people make is to write off the state because of it, as Gore did. McCurry said Glenn persuaded Clinton to remain in Ohio after a similar spike in the polls in 1992, and Clinton carried the state.
—Why are the polls showing an increase in undecided voters? One theory: Soft Republican supporters and soft Democratic supporters are highly volatile this campaign, and the conventions made them "more inchoate." The Republicans are mostly pro-choice moderates who are wondering whether Bush is really compassionate, and the Democrats are moderates who are wondering whether Kerry is really a New Democrat.
—The windsurfing ad that the Bush campaign is running against Kerry is an attempt to be this year's "Dukakis in the tank" spot. McCurry thinks the Kerry campaign neutralized it with their quickly assembled response ad, though it's not over yet.
—McCurry would like Kerry to talk more about abortion, about how he struggles with it because of his Catholic faith. He thinks Kerry needs to come up with a "safe, legal, and rare"-type formula that assures anti-abortion swing voters that he understands their moral concerns and isn't dismissive of them.
—McCurry has never been a big believer in the role of advertising or get-out-the-vote drives in presidential campaigns, though he's acquired a new respect for GOTV after 2000 and 2002. He thinks presidential races come down to whether the candidate can make the sale on the stump. You can't, after all, run TV ads that are completely different from what voters are seeing on the news.
Which leaves the obvious question: Can Kerry make the sale? That was where the race stood before the Democratic Convention in July, and that's where it remains two months later. Kerry hasn't shown he can do it yet. He's got 40 days.
