Trump Forces GOP to Decide What Kind of Party to Be
The crowded GOP field is like the Tour de France peloton, with the candidates pumping promises and throwing surprise attacks on each other as they pedal furiously down the campaign trail. And now that clown from Manhattan - if you believe the GOP establishment - has the nerve to wear the yellow jersey. Donald Trump is out in front in the latest poll, by CNN and ORC with 18% support, even among GOP voters. While Donald on steroids is unsettling to say the least, it's more likely that his cheating centers on his hair color, if we need to accuse him of something. And the GOP establishment is frantic over Donald and do indeed accuse him. Not to say Trump does not say outrageous things. But his support is growing and he really is an indication of a groundswell of anger among Republican voters.
We could talk about how Carson has dropped by half in these poll numbers, but that's back page news now. Occasionally Scott Walker can push his way to the front with some tough pragmatic talk on fiscal policy and devolution, but did you notice Jeb Bush is second and no one is talking about him? That may be a good thing, slow and steady, just like Jeb. Or actually his campaign, to be fair to the brainy centrist Bush. But instead it's all Trump. And yes his style and his salesy showmanship have given him a ready-made public base. But it seems to actually be what he's saying. As much as what he's saying is denigrated or winced over by beltway veterans, it plays wonderfully in much of red state America. In much of America itself, perhaps. And that means illegal immigration and amnesty matter even more than pollsters thought they did as flashpoint issues. It's as if Trump is the only candidate to have taken Lou Dobb Tonight's Broken Borders seriously. Like GOP voters. Unlike GOP establishment types. In some ways, it seems Trump will force the GOP to decide what kind of party they will be in the next election. The stakes are important for November 2016, but they are even more important in terms of the electoral cycles that follow. Unless Trump offers the GOP the easy way out by eventually running as a third party candidate. What that would do for the chances of the GOP candidate left standing is another matter.Posted by Keeley at July 29, 2015 9:26 PM
Trump is a moderate Democrat who became a Republican when far-left liberals took over the Democratic Party.
He supports gun bans, single-payer healthcare, abortion etc…, but because he is against illegal immigration, as most Americans are, he is now a Republican?
Trump isn't forcing anything, the Republican Party is becoming the Democrat Party of yesterday on its own.
Way to aid in keeping the country moving left, Republicans and so-called Conservatives.Posted by: kctim at July 30, 2015 10:12 AM
In 2012 it was common to compare the field of GOP presidential candidates to a clown car. In 2016, we've moved beyond the clown car and three ring circus anaology. Now, we are talking Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Keeley & kctim, I do not think Trump actually has any policies. His immigration 'policy'? Build a wall, charge Mexico to build it, and deport everyone because they are murderers and rapists (some, he assumes, are good people). Goodness gracious! The financial cost would run in the billions, perhaps hundreds of billions. His foreign policy? Get tough! Just get tough! And no, that is NOT a foreign policy.
Believe It or Not. Calling his support a groundswell of anger is putting it kindly. I would agree it is irrational. I would also point out it grows from a Nativist base. It comes from the dark side of the American character- inarticulate, full of hatred for THEM, and angry about being sold out year after year by the business/establishment/corporatist wing of the Republican Party.
Believe It or Not. I predicted this will be the first time in a long time the business/establishment candidate did not win the nomination, because this time, that candidate is Jeb Bush. His last name is Bush. Game, set, match.
Believe It or Not. My early pick for the nomination was Cruz. Cruz did succeed in raising $38 million, but $36 million of it comes from just four people. It will keep him in the race as long as he feels like running, but will Cruz continue to run as a Republican? He has already burned his bridges in the Senate. He is done there. The rest of his term will be symbolic, and sooner or later, Texans will notice their Senator is all talk and incapable of any action whatsoever. McConnell and crew will take their revenge. So Cruz is incentivized to tuck into Trump's wake and hope to pick up those votes when Trump crashes and burns, or turn his back on the GOP and run as independent with Trump.
Believe It or Not. Trump may run as an independent. He already smells a rat in this upcoming debate. FOX is very ambivalent about this nominee. On the one hand, Trump has "fired up the crazies," something that FOX has been doing for years. On the other hand, Murdoch and friends are not stupid enough to believe Trump will succeed. Turning the race into a reality show and supporting a candidate with no policies is obviously a bad idea.
Carson, by the way, is fading fast. He could not successfully staff an organization- they quit on him- and he has a reputation for squandering campaign funds on the good life. Nothing but the best for the Doctor!
Oddly enough, the best candidate looks like Kasich from OH. He's a lock for VP. He actually says sane things most of the time (as long as he can stay away from the social issues). Even on social issues, he does all right when he expresses the need for compassion.Posted by: phx8 at July 30, 2015 10:40 AM
What's not hard to believe is that you are repeating exactly what everybody else on the left is saying. Like you guys all get on the same page in hopes of forming a narrative that will best help Hillary get elected, lol.
Are you guys seriously that worried about the joke known as Trump? I don't put much stock in polls this early, but he11, even that nut Sanders is up by 6 or 7 over Trump right now.Posted by: kctim at July 30, 2015 12:20 PM
I love it. Thrash the R candidates while the beloved Hillary is swooning in the polls. Is it time for Biden to enter the race to prevent a debacle?Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 2:12 PM
Trump and Cruz are the most exciting thing to happen to the Gouty Old Party since Sarah Palin. The GOP has nominated every tired old horse and "weak as puke" guy they could find to ensure a D win.
We've got some real firebrands running this time around in the R party. Win or lose, they will shake things up and get Americans attention focused on our bloated and non-functioning Democratic Republic.
Hillary is the status-quo candidate with absolutely nothing new to offer citizens. She stands for nothing but big spending, big regulation and big coverup of her dismal record.Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 2:28 PM
"What's not hard to believe is that you are repeating exactly what everybody else on the left is saying."
I'm not sure what you are referring to, but maybe everyone is saying it because that is what is actually happening.
Hillary will win in a landslide. She's doing the smart thing right now by keeping a low profile. There's no reason to distract attention from the spectacle of the GOP presidential campaign.
Should Trump be taken seriously? No. But the fact is, he is being taken seriously by conservative voters in the GOP. He's in first or second in most polls, sometimes in first by double digits. And let's face it- Trump is entertaining. I mean, I literally laugh out loud when Trump does his schtick. "I'm so rich. I'm very, very wealthy. And I'm going to make America great again. It's going to be wonderful. That's the best part about being rich. I know how to make Americans richer." He's a lot more fun to watch than Scott Walker refusing to answer whether he accepts the theory of evolution. "I'm not going to answer that question."
Will Biden run? I doubt it. He's been VP for eight years and he just went through a really hard experience losing his son. I know his deceased son asked him to run, but Biden has already had a long and distinguished career of public service. It would be understandable if he chose to leave the stage.
By the way, as if the upcoming debate was not enough, the GOP is heading towards a self-implosion in September. They only have 12 days to pass a LOT of crucial legislation to keep the government running, and there are some conservatives who want to blow it all up over PP and other issues.
When Hillary's opponents are bent on dousing themselves with gasoline and lighting a match, there is no reason for her to shout 'look at me.'Posted by: phx8 at July 30, 2015 3:22 PM
It takes a fleet of bellhops to handle Hillary's political baggage.
I do miss her shouting. She sounds like a squealing pig when she does. And, I miss her really poor imitation of "poo" "blackspeak".
Hillary makes more gaffs than Biden and I relish that as well.
Let's see now. It will be fun to listen to her defend obama and his outrageously poor decision making. She must support whatever wacky social positions come down the line. She must endure taking a leak in unisex bathrooms on the campaign trail. She must defend selling human baby body parts. She must defend killing and rape in sanctuary cities. She must defend selling out America to the Iranians. She must defend her publicly known infamous lies.Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 3:41 PM
It would take a miracle for HRC to win the 2016 election. Fortunately, the GOP has over a dozen such miracles vying for the nomination.Posted by: Warren Porter at July 30, 2015 3:50 PM
Lol. Good one. It's a veritable odditorium of GOP candidates. Believe It. Or. Not.
Btw, Rand Paul's campaign is dying on the vine. He can't raise money. Cruz and Perry can raise money. They just can't get votes.
Could it be? Could it be? Jeb!
Wait. No.
"It would take a miracle for HRC to win the 2016 election."
Ah, yes…Satanic malevolence.Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 3:58 PM
Come on Phx8, there are only two reasons Hillary is keeping a low profile:
1. Negative baggage.
2. She is trying to ride the fence on every issue in order to be seen as the moderate candidate.
Trump is being taken seriously at this moment for two reasons:
1. He tells it like it is.
2. People are pi$$ed off about the negative economic and social impact of our uncontrolled illegal immigration.
Looking at it from the outside, this whole thing is quite amusing.
The democrat establishment has already picked who you guys will vote for and is using an extremely far-left loon to make her seem sane.
While the Republican establishment wants to pick who will run, but their voters keep telling them to stuff it.
No more Clintons
No more Bushs
No more illegals
No more adding to national debt
No more bowing to Iran
No more unconstitutional acts
Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 4:17 PM
This is hilarious. On a posting regarding Trump and his possibility of either getting a nomination or starting a third party candidacy, all the conservatives want to talk about is how bad the Democrats are. Not a peep about anyone they can support or admire, sorry guys.
Still pushing the meme that President Obama is a failure after nearly 7 years of what some consider one of the most successful Presidencies in recent memory. I'm pretty sure the Democrats learned in 2014 that it didn't do them a stitch of good to not align with President Obama, it cost them the Senate due to the deer in the headlights look by some of the candidates when asked did they support President Obama. Well he was re-elected and they didn't even get close in the Senate. The Democrats should come out loud and proud next year regarding President Obama's accomplishments but hey who knows, they are politicians and have been known to do really dumb things.
What about this scenario, as improbable as it may seem? Trump decides that the Republican party money men disrespected him enough and starts a third party campaign(quite likely to happen). Sanders somehow surges enough to convince him to run as an Independent (because that is what he is, although I don't think that it would be very likely to happen at all). But just as a what if, that would put 4 candidates up for President in the next election. Bush, Trump, Sanders and Clinton. Bush and Trump would cancel each others support and Clinton would still make it due to a less divided electorate when it comes to her candidacy. Wow, 4 presidential candidates! Could it happen?Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 4:33 PM
Trump could bring back the Know Nothing Party. Very similar sentiments back then except they were against Irish and German immigrants and the Catholic Church where as now they are against Mexican and Hispanic immigrants mostly. Their recent dislike of Pope Francis has the same undertones that was displayed by the Know Nothings back in the mid-1800's. Plus the words "Know Nothing" sure seem to describe some of the conservative raging white males today. History may repeat itself?Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 4:44 PM
"….now they are against Mexican and Hispanic immigrants mostly."
Voted the most stupid remark on WB this week…congrats.Posted by: Royal Flush at July 30, 2015 4:53 PM
RF, gee I'm just quoting Trump. Remember him saying Mexico is sending us the criminals? You are nothing if not really dumb sometimes. Who do you think he was talking about the city of Mexico in Missouri? Yikes man, you just can't keep a consistent thought going it would seem.Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 4:58 PM
Wait, I know. He was talking about Mexico Maine or Mexico Pennsylvania or Mexico Indiana or Mexico New York. Or maybe Mexico Beach in Florida? RF, I know you might not harbor the same feelings towards Mexicans and Hispanics but you have to see what is being promulgated out there, don't you? Or maybe not?Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 5:02 PM
As much as I like some of what Sanders says, there are other things I would never go along with. He will not run as a third party candidate. There's no chance.
Trump? Maybe. The GOP could very well be headed for a brokered convention. In that scenario it is inconceivable the leadership of the GOP would go along with Trump as their candidate. If he is still around at that point, he might do a third party run.
Hillary is smart to keep a low profile. Why should she let herself be the story right now? It is SMART to be perceived as a moderate and move to the middle. And her "negative baggage" is largely a figment of the right's imagination- lots of accusations and never any evidence.
Trump "tells it like it is"? What, exactly, is "it"? Listen to him carefully. It's all bluster and boasting and bragging. There is virtually no content there. It's like we are all living in the movie "Idiocracy."
You'll be glad to know the recent weekly unemployment claims report was the lowest in 40 years. Make sure you thank a liberal. You'll also be glad to know the national debt is stabilizing at a number far lower than anyone would have guessed a few years ago. And remember how the Bush administration used to hide the cost of the Iraq War by excluding it from the budget, and started with a budget surplus, yet finished with a trillion dollar federal deficit. Well, the Obama administration lowered that deficit every single year in office, and it we will be close to a surplus again by the time he finishes. Make sure you thank a liberal.
And what would be so bad about another Clinton? The last time we had one we had a fantastic economy, with 23 million jobs created in eight years and a federal budget surplus. No one has ever come close to that performance, although Obama did amazingly well, considering how bad it was when he came into office.Posted by: phx8 at July 30, 2015 5:09 PM
phx8, I agree about Sanders that is why I would hold that probability as highly unlikely. He also seems a lot more intelligent than Trump and would realize that his run would not do good for the country, unlike the out of control ego that we call Donald. We do however live in "interesting times". Just some musings on the 2016 election year, that's all. But what would you think if it did come about that way? Or is it too far out there to even consider for you?
I also agree that it is HRC's election to lose. There is so much going for her that it seems impossible to think that loses unless she somehow snatches defeat from the jaws of victory but it is politics. I am fairly certain that she will dominate the ladies votes and they are a bigger percentage of voters than almost any other segment.Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 5:19 PM
The difference between Trump and Sanders is the difference between night and day. It is the fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives.
Sanders is specific about his policies. His ideas are well thought out. His plans resonate with Americans because they address real issues, such as the cost of college debt. He is invariably polite and insists on discussing issues. He refuses to attack Hillary no matter how often the media baits him. But I don't think Sanders will go there. Hillary could buy him off with a plum cabinet position or promise to fulfill something off his wish list, and I would have no problem seeing Sanders take that position or make that deal.
Trump is just the opposite of Sanders. His policies are… well… There are none. Saying "stop illegal immigration" is not a policy. He is rude and boorish, calling illegal immigrants from Mexico rapists and murderers, disrespecting war heroes and POWs, and calling his opponents names at the drop of the hat. It is modern conservatism writ large, a reality show mentality on the national stage, a freak show in the odditorium.
Yes, Donald Freakin' Trump leads the polls among Republicans. Believe It. Or. Not.
It is only a matter of time before one of the Republican candidates bites off the head of a live chicken on camera.Posted by: phx8 at July 30, 2015 5:31 PM
phx8, maybe next week on the chicken head biting? I disagree about Sanders. We need him in the Senate and he knows that. He has never seemed to be the type of politician looking for a plum political offering, unless you are talking about supporting some of the policies that he is talking about now. I could see HRC scrumming the Democrats and popping out with the ball to cross the line. That is what a good politician does. Turns adversaries into supporters by recognizing their ideas. I am not certain that she has the political acumen to accomplish that, I think Bill did. We shall see.
But enough of this talk of the Democrats. You've touched on several of the Republican candidates. But after yesterdays announcement by Gilmore, there are now seventeen (count them 17) Republican party candidates. Maybe you need a bigger keyboard to go into all of them?Posted by: Speak4all at July 30, 2015 5:39 PM
I'm not suggesting Sanders would take a position in the Clinton cabinet out of some kind of corrupt venality. He would make the trade in order to advance what he believes in- and I think his values and HRC's are similar enough for them to work together.
Meanwhile, Trump announced his 'policy' about illegal immigrants. His plan? Deport 11 million people. It's a monstrous thing to propose. Why would anyone want to cause so much suffering? Why would anyone want to punish 11 million people for the crime of wanting to be Americans? We would become a country where people live in fear of the midnight knock on the door. To make nativism and the hatred of THEM into a national policy is an embarrassment. The weird thing is, this is what Trump supporters believe will 'make America great again.'
Some conservatives think Trump is a Democratic plant. That's silly. But a Democrat could not wish for a more damaging candidate to the GOP than Trump. But it's not just Trump. It's the base of the GOP. They want to defund PP again- the 8th time in eight years- and they are depending on gory videos to help their cause. What they are counting on is the usual ignorance of science prevalent among that base. That base does not understand medical research, or what is involved in seeking a cure for cancer. They do not understand the repercussions of shutting down over 700 clinics dedicated to the health care of women. (Closing the clinics and giving those funds to hospitals is NOT an equivalent, because 700 clinics would still be closed). The conservatives don't get how damaging this is to them. It is like they are writing the script for a movie called 'The War on Women' and casting themselves as the star, and they don't even see that it's obvious to everyone that they are not the star, but the villain. They're completely oblivious.Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 1:08 AM
Trump's deportation plan gets a bit crazier when he couples it with an expedited opportunity to return to the US. We round them all up, send them out one door and take them back in through another door. So, why bother with the first step?
When it comes to the "Dreamers", Trump says that he actually has a "big heart." He intends to do something for them.
So, the more specific, he becomes on illegals, the more he sounds like any other politician. Mexico isn't going to build a huge wall for the US. We aren't going to actually permanently deport all the illegals residing in the US. We aren't going to throw away the "Dreamers."
Reality is beginning to meet bluster. Even the "Donald" admits in a CNN interview that he has exaggerated some of his promises. He is after all a salesperson.Posted by: Rich at July 31, 2015 7:49 AM
Low profile? LOL!
The media has already dubbed Hillary the next President and she is smart enough to keep her mouth shut and let them do all the work right now.
Are you seriously you talking about the imagination of others? Come on man.
Your accusations and assumptions are nothing but partisan imagination. Your "evidence" is based entirely on what you think somebody "really meant," when they said something.
"Trump "tells it like it is"? What, exactly, is "it"?"
"It" is the fact that we have a serious illegal immigration problem that needs addressing and he says it without mincing words. Something the current administration is not willing to acknowledge or do.Posted by: kctim at July 31, 2015 9:54 AM
phx8, I think I understand what you mean about Sanders, might be very interesting to see him as Secretary of Labor. But I just think we will need every voice in the Senate that we currently have to accomplish what the next President may try to do or undo. If HRC does gain the Presidency, I can't see her raiding the Senate to fill cabinet positions because she knows she will need them for support for her there. Anyway it's all a bit of conjecture right now but interesting to discuss possible outcomes.
O'Donnell had some very good points last night about Trump and the first debate. He expressed some trepidation about how the Fox moderator would be able to handle Trump. His bombastic proclamations could present a problem in being able to exert controls over the questions and answers. I will be watching.
Rich, exaggeration can be a tool for some sales people but I am not sure if the Republican electorate is sentient enough to see through them as long as he keeps their diet of red meat wild talk filling their need for rage. For myself I wouldn't buy anything that Trump was selling and have always felt that way, I don't understand what people see in him but that's me. Never watched that reality show he has but I don't watch any of the others either. I did see that he brought a former Sarah Palin campaign person into his campaign organization, can't remember who it was, but that tells me a lot about what he is trying to do. Yep, he's a $ale$per$on alright and a grifter too.Posted by: Speak4all at July 31, 2015 11:42 AM
""It" is the fact that we have a serious illegal immigration problem that needs addressing and he says it without mincing words. Something the current administration is not willing to acknowledge or do."
What! The Senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill and sent it to the House. The House Republicans refused to compromise. They refused to vote for the bipartisan bill. Instead, Congressman King- the one who said the typical Mexican had calves the size of cantaloupes from hauling pot across the desert- yeah, that guy- and Michelle Bachman authored a nativist piece of legislation that went nowhere.
When conservatives failed in the House, Obama signed an executive order that partially addressed the issue. He did as much as he could do, given the limits of his branch of government.
Obama, Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, and House Democrats all worked together on legislation. House conservative Republicans failed. It's that simple.
Meanwhile, Trump came out with his plan to address illegal aliens. He wants to deport all 11 million. When pressed on specifics, he had none. Apparently some would be allowed back into the country but not given full legal status. Again, there are no specifics. No one knows how a Trump administration would round up 11 million people. It conjures up a nightmarish vision of what America could become…Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 11:56 AM
Rand Paul, Rand Paul is he just sitting back and watching the rest of the repubs, doing a Hilary as it were, or has he gave up.
With Trump leading the crazy it won't be long before the rest of the bunch sounds normal…..well maybe normal is pushing it, but less than crazy. I think Trump is more of a repub plant than a dem plant. I mean he is rabble rousing working the TRC's up for the election and all, making the others look like real presidential timbre and getting some issues out of the way for when things get serious.
So what does it tell you when Graham and Kasich can't even make the top 10 according to Fox yet Perry, Carson, Walker, and Christie are in.Posted by: j2t2 at July 31, 2015 12:38 PM
That bipartisan immigration reform bill did not address our problems with illegal immigration. It was nothing but more kabuki theater to prevent losing votes.
Illegal aliens DO bring drugs and crime to the country.
Obama signed an executive order to benefit his political party, NOT to address our illegal alien problem.
We are still over a year out, a candidate not going into depth on illegal immigration is no different than a candidate who's ONLY answer to EVERY question is 'tax the rich.'Posted by: kctim at July 31, 2015 1:01 PM
Rand Paul looks like he is doomed. He cannot raise money. His foreign policy alienates the Neocons. His stand on abortion alienates libertarians. Politically, he is neither fish nor fowl.
Carson can spend money just fine, but he can't run a campaign or successfully staff and direct his own organization. No surprise there. He has no business running for president and he has no business being in that debate. He's easily the most ridiculous candidate that will be on that stage.
Perry has a lot of money. He'll be around for at least the first few primaries.
I wouldn't count Kasich out. He will make his stand in NH, and I think he will do better than anyone thinks.
It's true, Trump makes the rest of the field sound relatively normal and sane, and that really takes some doing. 'Eleven million immigrants? Deport them all!'
Sure, Donald. Perfectly reasonable.
The debate will be totally awesome for Democrats. Every Democrat and liberal in the country will be crossing their fingers and saying 'please, please, PLEASE shut down the government over PP funding. Do it! Come on!' And just about every one of those conservative yahoos on that stage will spout some utterly insane statements support of it- in fact, they will vie with each other to see who can be crazier.Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 1:08 PM
Now here's the really funny thing, and I don't think many people have figured this out yet. In a debate setting with a large number of people on stage, it is usually considered an advantage to be in the middle. Positioning would then be determined by polling popularity. In other words, Trump would be in the middle, flanked by either Jeb!, I mean Jeb:-/ and maybe Scott Walker. It will be almost impossible for Jeb:-/ to ignore Trump. The pained look on Jeb's face as he listens to Trump bloviate will be a ratings goldmine for FOX. And if Jeb:-/ tries to engage Trump he might sink his candidacy right then and there. Walker is not sharp enough to engage Trump. He knows he will be in way over his head, so he'll just stare into space and hope Trump goes away. But Trump won't. And Trump knows Walker is not quick on his feet, so Trump may make him the main target on stage.
Of course, FOX may not observe this format for the debate. They can do anything they want, and they know whoever they put in close physical proximity to Trump risks seeing their presidential campaign turn into a puddle of mud on that stage.
It will be fun fun fun!Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 1:59 PM
I will watch the Republican debates in hopes of seeing something substantive addressed but I am not expecting much. Have you heard about the new drinking game for this debate? Every time a candidate touches on a substantive subject with thoughtfulness you have to take a drink. Alcoholics Anonymous and Citizens for Sobriety have endorsed the game. OK, it's a joke.Posted by: Speak4all at July 31, 2015 2:14 PM
I do not expect anything substantive either.
But the positioning of the candidates will be extremely informative. It will be something like reading the tea leaves from those Cold War parades in the Soviet Union &
China, where the position of leaders revealed the amount of their power within the political hierarchy.
Like I said, as the candidate leading in the polls- gack- sorry, I just coughed up a hairball at the thought of President Trump- anyway, by rights, Trump should be in the middle of the stage. He will literally be the center of attention. If Trump is off to one side or the other, the fix is in. FOX and the RNC will have the long knives out for him. If Trump is flanked by a strong personality like Christie, the fix is in. If there is one or more candidate between Trump and Walker, the fix is in for Walker. FOX and the RNC will be protecting the college dropout from the Wharton graduate. That may well happen. If low polling, marginal candidates are in the center of the stage, the fix is in.
It will be incredibly interesting.Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 3:04 PM
You are absolutely right. Kasich is the Republican with the most potential. I wonder how far he can go.Posted by: Warren Porter at July 31, 2015 7:07 PM
Kasich is the sleeper in the race and I think he is the best choice for VP. The fact that he comes from the swing state of Ohio is huge. However, he does have some major baggage. He was on the Board of Directors for Lehman Brothers, an investment banking firm whose risky investments in mortgage derivatives caused it to fail, setting off the Great Recession. Kasich also signed a draconian anti-abortion bill in OH, and he approved Medicaid expansion under Obamacare for his state. He's not as wacky as Huckabee, Carson, Cruz, or some of the other candidates- he usually conducts himself in a dignified manner- but he does have vulnerabilities.
He occasionally says things like this:
"Now, when you die and get to the meeting with St. Peter, he's probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small. But he is going to ask you what you did for the poor. You better have a good answer."
And unlike so much of what conservatives say, that is the kind of statement that invites respect.Posted by: phx8 at July 31, 2015 10:10 PM
So the best we can hope for from the repubs is "well he isn't as crazy as Trump". My God aren't repubs shocked at the effects of "conservatism" on their party? They seem to be able to crucify Hilary for no apparent reason yet they cannot police their own. Perry has the bucks but not the brains to be in a debate with anyone without drooling on himself. Walker cannot respond without his owners telling him what to say and whne to say it. Carson, the repub token black, is spending the bucks and living it up on the donors dime while unable to tie his shoelaces on the national stage, Cruz is trying to out do Trump when it comes to crazy, Rubio, who? Huckabee has turned into a fascistic huckster who embarrasses himself as bad as Perry. Christie is a loser who relies on his bully shtick to score points with the repub TRC's is just another face in the crowd.
My god repubs what has happened to you guys. Seventeen people running and no one who deserves a shot to run the country. I say you flush this group down the toilet and at random get a welfare mother of three as your candidate and you will be better off when it comes to serving your agenda and your country.Posted by: j2t2 at July 31, 2015 11:28 PM
I don't think the Lehman Brothers connection will hurt Kasich in the primary. Remember that the recession was the result of Fannie and Freddie. Firms like Lehman Brothers were blameless. You forget the private sector can never do wrong and whenever something bad happens, the government needs to be the scapegoat.
I also wouldn't count Walker out of the race. I don't understand the comparison to Bush. Bush is somewhat centrist, whereas Walker is uncompromisinglyPosted by: Warren Porter at July 31, 2015 11:46 PM
Most people do not understand what happened to the economy in the Great Recession. The conservative narrative is that it was the fault of poor people for getting mortgages they couldn't afford. As a result, conservatives have not been able to say anything sensible about the economy ever since.
Agreed, I wouldn't count Walker out either. But he is owned by the Kochs, and it is tough for Walker, Perry, and others to criticize Trump after asking Trump for handouts in previous elections. A classic example of why biting the hand that feeds you is a bad idea. No matter how ridiculous Trump may be, at least he is his own man. No one else owns him. And that makes it easy for him to shame people like Walker, who is owned by the Koch Brothers.
Of course, if you're going to sell out, and you're going to be owned by someone, it's nice to owned by the richest guys out there- guys much, much richer than Trump. Walker will never lack for funds.
Unlike Perry and Christie, Walker is home free with his legal problems. Some of his aides were convicted in the John Doe One scandal, but the John Doe Two investigation, which was aimed at Walker, was squashed by four GOP judges on the WI Supreme Court. And those judges, by the way, had their election campaigns funded in part by the Club for Growth, the same group that was accused of breaking laws with Walker in the first place. Ugly, ugly stuff. But for now, Walker is out of the woods.
Bush and Walker are not alike. Bush is a lot smarter and a better speaker. I'm not saying Jeb is a great speaker. Just better than Walker, who is a real snooze fest. Walker is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but he knows when to hide the crazy from the public. Walker and Jeb do have this in common: their main goal for the next few months will be to avoid Trump at all costs. They're too weak to handle him in person and this debate will be an absolute nightmare for both.Posted by: phx8 at August 1, 2015 12:38 AM
I agree with most of your analysis. However, in the long run, Trump won't be a problem for Bush/Walker. One day Trump's flame will burn out. Kasich, Walker and Bush just need to hang in there until the inevitable happens. By then, it will be a 3 way race (or 2 way if Kasich is unable to raise enough money). I can almost guarantee the GOP nominee will be one of those 3. Rubio and Cruz are senators and eventually that will come back to bite them.Posted by: Warren Porter at August 1, 2015 7:31 AM
I can't believe Trump has lasted this long, between the racist comment about illegal immigrants and insulting American POW's- and then defending the comments! Yet here we are. But I think you are right about playing the waiting game. The serious candidates just need to bide their time. In OH, Kasich has an approval rating of 55%. That's very good. Obama has an approval rating of 49%. That's good too. Congress has an approval rating of 8%. It will probably get worse, if possible, with a whole variety of legislation that must be passed in September, yet a GOP who seems more interested in defunding PP than governing. So yeah, you're right, Rubio & Cruz have built-in vulnerabilities.
Kasich will have a hard time fund raising. The Koch Brothers won't help him because of his support of Medicaid expansion, and comments about how helping the poor is doing the right thing.Posted by: phx8 at August 1, 2015 11:15 AM
I thought that Trump would get away with the immigrant bashing but was astounded that he got away with the comments on McCain and the implied insult to all POWs. Hard to understand. Truly hard to understand. In fact, downright scary.Posted by: Rich at August 1, 2015 7:08 PM
It's hard to understand, Rich. I can understand slamming Kerry's bronze star and purple heart. That was just crass partisanship. I can understand slamming McCain because he lost in 2008. It's ugly, but I can understand it. But to slam American POW's for being captured in the first place? It boggles the mind. It's like… there is no bottom for these people, no depth too low, no tasteless behavior too over-the-top, nothing out of bounds as long as it calls itself 'conservative.'Posted by: phx8 at August 1, 2015 7:32 PM

Trolls Costumes for Halloween 2019: Poppy, Branch
Few animations have succeeded in presenting a lot of pomp and color like the Trolls film. Almost every child has watched the multi-colored collectibles where Perky Troll Poppy seeks the assistance of misery Branch to lend a hand in the search for Tuff haired happy. In addition to glaring bright colors, the cartoon also has incredible head bumping songs.
Thanks to its widespread popularity, trolls costume look like they are going to be a hit during the Halloween season for a very long time.
Princess Poppy
The 3D computer animated musical fantasy romantic comedy takes viewers to the Trolls Universe. These are small creatures who are always in a perpetual state of singing, happiness, hugging, and dancing all day.
Sadly the Bergens, which are large unhappy creatures, discover them and soon notice that they can achieve temporary happiness by devouring a troll. They put the trolls in a cage and hold annual festivals to eat them.
Luckily, the Trolls with King Peppy as their leader, his daughter, and princes' poppy escape via an underground tunnel on the say that a young Prince Gristle Jr. was supposed to consume his first troll.
King Gristle
Gristle Sr. becomes furious about the escape and ends up banishing the chief who was responsible for preparing Trollstice (the annual festival for feasting on the Trolls).
The Trolls, on the other hand, could not be happier, and two decades later, King Peppy's daughter who is an extremely happy pink troll organizes a huge celebration in honor of the escape. She does this despite the warnings and fears of the Branch the gray troll.
Branch has concerns about the party because he feels as though large festivals are likely to attract their biggest enemies who are the Bergers. His fears come to pass because the Chief of the Bergers spots the fireworks and swiftly moves in to capture some of the Trolls.
Poppy manages to hide and soon discovers that no one wants to venture into Berger land to rescue their captured friends. It makes her sad as she organizes a solo mission. Branch reluctantly joins her because he knows that she will not succeed alone.
Cloud Guy
Before getting to their destination, Poppy and Branch have to go through some tunnels one that leads to the Trolltree and perhaps their death.
Branch has to high give cloud Guy to get the right directions, but he is not in the mood for this; thus, only does a fist bump which makes Branch Mad enough to chase Cloud Guy.
In this pursuit, they stumble on their destination, i.e., the Troll Tree. The duo discovers that it was the night when the Trollstice would be held where they would have to witness the death of their friends.
On a mission to free the Trolls, Poppy and Branch discover that the guard who is a scullery maid is attracted to Gristle Jr. They use this to their benefit where they strike a deal telling her that is she helped them she would finally get a date with the king's son.
Despite many challenges where the two find out that one of their friends was setting up the Trolls to become Berger's food, they get a way to escape after Brach confessing that he loves Poppy something that helps to bring out the color that has once faded.
Trolls Costumes present an incredibly extensive selection that people can explore during Halloween. They are an excellent choice as they have a way of letting true colors shine through as you feel immense happiness flowing through.

The emerging IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 by the Wi-Fi Alliance, promises to be a "game-changing" technology for today's WLANs.
The IEEE 802.11ax technology improvements will focus on network efficiency and traffic management in an effort to clean up the congestion in high density venues, increasing capacity up to 4X. Despite the increase of wireless speeds over many years, high-density environments are experiencing congestion due to the number of connected client devices and the requirement for more wireless access points. Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands will see benefits, though it is recommended that IEEE 802.11ax operate in the 5GHZ band. Additionally, IEEE 802.11ax introduces OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). This includes many other technologies, such as IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 MIMO and MU-MIMO, which improve traffic efficiency and throughput.
Full adoption of the IEEE 802.11ax will take place in 2019, however some products are shipping now.
Who will benefit?
Any high-density venue with large numbers of access points and Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as:
- Airports
- Shopping malls
- Stadiums
- Citywide Wi-Fi
- Corporate
- Multi-dwelling
- Theme parks
- Dense suburban
- Healthcare
- Higher education
- E-Education
Will future IEEE 802.11 technology advancements potentially create challenges for the physical deployment of the APs?
Oberon continues to keep up with the changing needs of the wireless industry, as well as follow access point form factor changes. What we have learned is that as IEEE 802.11ax advances toward greater performance, technology advancements may require more internal antennas, potentially increasing the size of many popular APs.
How can Oberon help you future-proof your wireless access point physical deployment?
Oberon is ready to help! If you are looking for a future-ready 2 x 2 ceiling locking enclosure, Oberon's Wi-Tile™ 1047 series is what you need.

I am a teacher at an American school in Casablanca, Morocco, and have just graduated from college in the U.S. I spent last summer and fall in Morocco studying Arabic in Rabat and then enrolling in Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane as an exchange student. The last time I was in Morocco, I learned valuable lessons such as how to make juice out of bananas and avocados and how to relax and not worry that nothing seems to happen on time. I started eating meat after seventeen years of vegetarianism, and fasted during Ramadan to better understand the meaning of the holy month. This time around, I hope to improve my language skills, both speaking and teaching, and to start showing up late to things myself.
Morocco Mall, the biggest mall in Africa
(You can tell it's fancy because it has trees growing on the inside)
If you are unfamiliar with the movie Casablanca, the title and byline are references to quotes from the movie 🙂

Cover Letter Workshop - Formatting and Organization
Media File: Cover Letter Workshop - Formatting and Organization
This resource is enhanced by an Acrobat PDF file. Download the free Acrobat Reader
The cover letter is one of the most challenging documents you may ever write: you must write about yourself without sounding selfish and self-centered. The solution to this is to explain how your values and goals align with the prospective organization's and to discuss how your experience will fulfill the job requirements. Before we get to content, however, you need to know how to format your cover letter in a professional manner.
Formatting your cover letter
Your cover letter should convey a professional message. Of course, the particular expectations of a professional format depend on the organization you are looking to join. For example, an accounting position at a legal firm will require a more traditional document format. A position as an Imagineer at Disney might require a completely different approach. Again, a close audience analysis of the company and the position will yield important information about the document expectations. Let the organization's communications guide your work.
For this example, we are using a traditional approach to cover letters:
- Single-space your cover letter
- Leave a space between each paragraph
- Leave three spaces between your closing (such as "Sincerely" or "Sincerely Yours") and typed name
- Leave a space between your heading (contact information) and greeting (such as, "Dear Mr. Roberts")
- Either align all paragraphs to the left of the page, or indent the first line of each paragraph to the right
- Use standard margins for your cover letter, such as one-inch margins on all sides of the document
- Center your letter in the middle of the page; in other words, make sure that the space at the top and bottom of the page is the same
- Sign your name in ink between your salutation and typed name
Organizing your cover letter
A cover letter has four essential parts: heading, introduction, argument, and closing.
The heading
In your heading, include your contact information:
- name
- address
- phone number
- email address
The date and company contact information should directly follow your contact information. Use spacing effectively in order to keep this information more organized and readable. Use the link at the top of this resource to view a sample cover letter - please note the letter is double-spaced for readability purposes only.
Addressing your cover letter
Whenever possible, you should address your letter to a specific individual, the person in charge of interviewing and hiring (the hiring authority). Larger companies often have standard procedures for dealing with solicited and unsolicited resumes and cover letters. Sending your employment documents to a specific person increases the chances that they will be seriously reviewed by the company.
When a job advertisement does not provide you with the name of the hiring authority, call the company to ask for more information. Even if your contact cannot tell you the name of the hiring authority, you can use this time to find out more about the company.
If you cannot find out the name of the hiring authority, you may address your letter to "hiring professionals" - e.g., "Dear Hiring Professionals."
The introduction
The introduction should include a salutation, such as "Dear Mr. Roberts:" If you are uncertain of your contact's gender, avoid using Mr. or Mrs. by simply using the person's full name.
The body of your introduction can be organized in many ways. However, it is important to include, who you are and why you are writing. It can also state how you learned about the position and why you are interested in it. (This might be the right opportunity to briefly relate your education and/or experience to the requirements of the position.)
Many people hear of job openings from contacts associated with the company. If you wish to include a person's name in your cover letter, make certain that your reader has a positive relationship with the person.
In some instances, you may have previously met the reader of your cover letter. In these instances it is acceptable to use your introduction to remind your reader of who you are and briefly discuss a specific topic of your previous conversation(s).
Most important is to briefly overview why your values and goals align with the organization's and how you will help them. You should also touch on how you match the position requirements. By reviewing how you align with the organization and how your skills match what they're looking for, you can forecast the contents of your cover letter before you move into your argument.
The argument
Your argument is an important part of your cover letter, because it allows you to persuade your reader why you are a good fit for the company and the job. Carefully choose what to include in your argument. You want your argument to be as powerful as possible, but it shouldn't cloud your main points by including excessive or irrelevant details about your past. In addition, use your resume (and refer to it) as the source of "data" you will use and expand on in your cover letter.
In your argument, you should try to:
- Show your reader you possess the most important skills s/he seeks (you're a good match for the organization's mission/goals and job requirements).
- Convince your reader that the company will benefit from hiring you (how you will help them).
- Include in each paragraph a strong reason why your employer should hire you and how they will benefit from the relationship.
- Maintain an upbeat/personable tone.
- Avoid explaining your entire resume but use your resume as a source of data to support your argument (the two documents should work together).
Reminder: When writing your argument, it is essential for you to learn as much as possible about the company and the job (see the Cover Letter Workshop - Introduction resource).
The closing
Your closing restates your main points and reveals what you plan to do after your readers have received your resume and cover letter. We recommend you do the following in your closing:
- Restate why you align with the organization's mission/goals.
- Restate why your skills match the position requirements and how your experience will help the organization.
- Inform your readers when you will contact them.
- Include your phone number and e-mail address.
- Thank your readers for their consideration.
A sample closing:
I believe my coursework and work experience in electrical engineering will help your Baltimore division attain its goals, and I look forward to meeting with you to discuss the job position further. I will contact you before June 5th to discuss my application. If you wish to contact me, I may be reached at 765-555-6473, or by e-mail at email@example.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Although this closing may seem bold, potential employers will read your documents with more interest if they know you will be calling them in the future. Also, many employment authorities prefer candidates who are willing to take the initiative to follow-up. Additionally, by following up, you are able to inform prospective employers that you're still interested in the position and determine where the company is in the hiring process. When you tell readers you will contact them, it is imperative that you do so. It will not reflect well on you if you forget to call a potential employer when you said you would. It's best to demonstrate your punctuality and interest in the company by calling when you say you will.
If you do not feel comfortable informing your readers when you will contact them, ask your readers to contact you, and thank them for their time. For example:
Please contact me at 765-555-6473, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Before you send the cover letter
Always proofread your cover letter carefully. After you've finished, put it aside for a couple of days if time allows, and then reread it. More than likely, you will discover sentences that could be improved, or grammatical errors that could otherwise prove to be uncharacteristic of your writing abilities. Furthermore, we recommend giving your cover letter to friends and colleagues. Ask them for ways to improve it; listen to their suggestions and revise your document as you see fit.
If you are a Purdue student, you may go to the Writing Lab or CCO for assistance with your cover letter. You can make an appointment to talk about your letter, whether you need to begin drafting it or want help with revising and editing.
Click on the link at the top of this resource for a sample cover letter. Please note that this sample is double spaced for readability only. Unless requested otherwise, always single space your professional communication.

From 3rd of November 1969 until 9th of May 2017, one of the biggest trance dj's in the world said goodbye way to early. His music inspired millions, including artists like ATB and Mephisto which is as good as Robert Miles was. So, I wanted to share this song with you as it makes me remember Roberto Concina which is Robert Miles original name.
Robert Miles dies way too early! Only 47 Years old
Regarding sources, Robert Miles passed away on 9th of May 2017 because of stage 4 metastatic cancer. He battled with the cancer for over 9 months OpenLab Facebook site reports.
Robert Miles was way more than just an artist. He was a pioneer, a creator, a father and our friend. He was incredibly brave and did everything he could to fight his cancer. This extravaganza trance dj came from Switzerland that will be missed for milleniums to come.
Mephisto and ATB piano inspired trance Music reminds of Robert Miles
When I was younger, it was Robert Miles and ATB that teached me about trance music. André Tanneberger is the artist name and is from Germany. He was born on 28th of February 1973 and is today 44 years old. He is in the same category. He is a DJ, producer and remixer. He's been active since 1998 and got many songs popular like Robert Miles.
Movin' Melodies was my first ATB album, and since then his music have grown on me like the ones Robert Miles did. You could sort of say that these two are the almighty ones regarding trance music. They filled each other completely. So to loose such an incredible talented trance producer is a loss. He showed that trance can be beautiful. He showed that trance can be a genre for the masses and he showed how his piano tones moved peoples minds.
We really hope that ATB and Mephisto which is a lovely Italian DJ will survive and make music for many years to come. This is for sure a genre that needs to be lifted up again. There is simply too much of 128bpm trance songs now florrishing on the video watching sites. Some of these songs are nice, but its just too much and too depressing. Trance should be uplifting and that's what ATB does today and what Robert Miles did!
Roberto Concina which is Robert Miles will always be remembered in my heart!

UFO's -NOT!
by John H.
Considering that I have been a stargazer most of my adult life, you might think that I have seen a lot of strange things in the sky. The answer to the question: "Seen any UFO's?" is pretty simple: "No." This lack of UFO sightings on my part is perhaps remarkable. After all I am out two or three times a week (weather permitting) looking at the sky with a variety of telescopes and cameras. I have taken close to 5 000 pictures on film, and more than three times that number of digital images. This is by no means unusual for a die-hard stargazer like myself and I number myself among a million or more amateur astronomers around the world. The USA has about half of those and Canada probably has close to 50 000 or so.
There are rarely reports of unusual objects (UFOs) from this large group of sky-savvy folks. The simple reason is that people who know the sky well can identify 99.99% of what they see as natural objects. These include ordinary aircraft, bright glints of sunlight from satellites or moving points of light such as the International Space Station, meteors of various brightnesses, some exploding at the end, bright planets like Venus (the single object most often mistaken for a "flying saucer") and even bright stars refracting the colours of the rainbow when their light passes through the thick air near the horizon. I have seen Sirius, for example, flashing colours across the entire spectral range from red to violet.
There is, however, one incident that had me stumped, for a little while anyway. If I had not used all of my senses, I would be puzzled to this day. But it took only a simple observation to get an answer for the UFO that I saw. (it is now an IFO on my list, -an Identified Flying Object).
It happened in May 1980, in Thompson, Manitoba chaperoning a group of Bruce County students who had won the right to compete in the Canada-Wide Science Fair. I had a great experience with that wonderful group of young people and several came back home with Canada-Wide awards. We were housed for several nights in a college residence and at night, (after my charges were safely tucked away in their rooms...) I would go out for an hour or two of stargazing and photography. The residence parking area (within sight of our rooms) was an ideal spot to view the northern sky and I came home with some good photos of aurora and some interesting planet groupings in the western sky. I was particularly impressed with how low Polaris was compared to its 45° elevation back home.
Venus appeared in the sky of Thompson Manitoba in May, 1980 and no one mistook it for a UFO. Photo by John H.
My UFO experience started rather simply with a moving point of light that was just like many meteors I had seen before. Then another one appeared from the same direction and split into two at the end of its path. "Wow", I said, "a fragmenting meteor!" I went back to gazing at the stars and it happened again, but after the trail split, the two separate trails started criss-crossing each other! Meteors breaking up do not do this, so was this a UFO mother ship and scouts?. More trails appeared, even three together and some performed the same crossing pattern as before. I was stumped, but then I started actually hearing the meteors! -a faint, swish, swish sound in the quiet of the night. It sounded just like the beat of wings of low-flying birds.
In fact, these UFO's were birds. The faint light was reflection from feathers covered with chemicals that make them water resistant and which also fluoresce in the UV light, spilling upward from the streetlights below. The flight paths of birds often cross from our perspective on the ground.
If I had only seen and not heard the event, it would have gone down in my book as a genuine UFO.
UFO sighting statistics always have a small percentage of UFO sightings that remain "unexplained". My contention is that if more details of the sighting were available or if an experienced sky-watcher was observing, most, even all, sightings could be explained. I know this will not satisfy those folks out there who want there to be extra-terrestrials visiting us, but my own experience and that of thousands of amateur astronomers familiar with the sky indicates otherwise.

She Breastfed Her Child And Officials Say It Killed Him
A Pennsylvania mother's 11-week-old son died in April, and she has now been charged in his death. The Morning Call reports Samantha Jones, 30, is in Bucks County Jail after failing to make her $3 million bail in connection with the homicide charge. A probable cause affidavit reveals the baby, identified as RJ, died from ingesting methadone, amphetamine, and meth, which were allegedly transferred when Jones breastfed the child.
She allegedly told police that she had switched from mainly breastfeeding to using formula only a few days earlier, but that when RJ awoke crying at 3am on April 2 she was too exhausted to prepare a bottle in the kitchen and instead breastfed him. NBC Philadelphia reports she later gave him a formula bottle her husband had prepared around 6:30am, and found the child in distress an hour later. One hour after that he died in an ER. Jones says a painkiller addiction led to a prescription for methadone, which she had taken while pregnant and post-partum. Bucks Local News reports Jones also has a 2-year-old son; she has been ordered not to have contact with any minors.

If you try to pass a JSON string as a command line argument in the Terminal like this:
It is expected to that $argv[1] will contain the JSON string. But unfortunately, it gets chunked. This is what you get when you do a print_r :
This is not desired. We want the whole JSON string in one index, but the terminal breaks it into multiple chunks. To fix this problem we need to use proper escaping. This is what we do:
- Wrap the JSON in double quotes ("")
- Add escape character (\) before double quotes present inside the JSON. You can do this with addslashes()
The JSON will now look like this
This should work as expected:

One of my favorite TV shows is "The Voice." But it's quite intimidating when I think about my own voice. I've had a few voice lessons but it's time for a tune-up – after all, your instrument gets rusty if you don't use it.
As an aspiring songwriter, I have to work on 3 parts: writing the song, singing the song, and playing the song (for me, that means the keyboard). It's a lot to work on all at once and sometimes I feel like I'm not making much progress. At times I think about just working on one thing at a time and if that is true, my voice will have to come first.
My solo in high school was "If You Go Away." Frank Sinatra and many others have also recorded it but I had no idea back when I chose the sheet music in the music store in 1969.
I'm working on the French version, although that is pretty ambitious, so I may have to stick with the English version.

What are the problems facing prospective teachers?
Those who are changing careers: The current system of teacher certification in most states leaves little room for mid-career changers. Everyone is herded into a full-blown teaching degree program no matter what kind of previous education or work experience. An online master's degree is perfect for professionals looking for a career change. Hey, you already have a degree and work experience. You just need the requisite education credits to qualify for certification.
Those who already have advanced degrees: Many people who have already earned a master's degree, or even a PhD, are qualified to teach in every respect. They simply don't have a teaching license. If you fall into this category, the last you thing you need is another 45 credit graduate program just to get certified. An online degree program can help you earn the education credits needed to start your new career.
Those who have years of prior teaching experience: Many people have extensive experience teaching in private schools. In many cases these are excellent and seasoned professional teachers. Yet they are not qualified to teach in public schools for the simple lack of a teaching certificate. A teacher is made through the practice of teaching, and this kind of experience should be enough to certify teachers. If you are a seasoned teacher in need of education credits for a certificate, an online teaching program may be right for you.
Those who don't have time for a traditional program: Many great prospective teachers are at a time in life when a full-time campus experience just is not possible. The nearest program is too far from home. A full-time job prevents travel and day-time classes. How many excellent teachers are lost because the traditional certification process does not accommodate life's complications?
I know the difficulties first hand, because for years I was one of those prospective public school teachers who have a master's degree and several years of teaching experience in a Catholic school.
Yet I was not able to find a job teaching in public schools.
By taking courses online and via weekend seminars and week-long classes, I was able to earn my New York State teacher certification.
Today, there is no reason to fight the system the way I had to fight. Options are available to earn your graduate teaching degree online.
This website and blog are dedicated to helping prospective teachers find the shortest, cheapest, and best path to teacher certification.

FTC encourages mobile apps to have same privacy as desktops -- disco "kids" don't care
Mobile devices so far do not seem to offer users the same degree of control over privacy or "do not track" possibilities as laptops and desktops, and that is a situation that the FTC wants to change, according to a New York Times story Saturday in the Business Section by Edwart Wyatt, link here.
The article discussed a social network called Path.
Many people don't want mobile applications to disclose their physical locations, invitations to burglary or to stalking. That doesn't seem to be as controllable as it should be.
On the other hand, if you just notice how people behave on dance floors, interrupted by constant texts – they want to know where their friends are – exactly, and constantly – even if only fifty feet away in darkness, strobe lights and noise. I don't see how kids can text so well without seeing anything. I can't.

Doing the same workout routine over and over again can be tiring and boring as well. In a worst-case scenario, you may end up losing your motivation to get fit. Are you looking for a way of spicing things up? Then, you should try out trampoline workout, also referred to as rebounding. Still, there are so many other ways to lose weight. Check out the latest coolsculpting treatment plans in Dallas. Believe it or not, but you can see changes in three weeks after your treatment.
Trust me; using trampolines is not just for kids to prop up during their birthday parties or for fun times in the park. If you thought so, then you are absolutely wrong! Rebounding on a trampoline is an effective exercise that's capable of helping you lose weight and get back into shape.
When you do an exercise that you enjoy, then you will likely start to realize better results. Trampolining works just like an anaerobic and cardio workout to increase heart rates and strengthen body organs.
The more you continue to dispense energy on the trampoline, the more weight you lose, thus a leaner you. But the burning question is this, how much weight will you lose after 1 month of playing trampoline?
Trampolining and Bearable Weight Loss
Here is a plain truth, apart from a healthy diet; cardio training is the other means of a sustainable weight loss. If you are thinking of losing some weight without activity, then you need to think again. Engaging in such practices puts you at risk of melting too much muscle mass.
Also, a successful workout is one in which you do not over-exert yourself. Jogging and trampolining are such exercises that facilitate fat loss from the muscles. Part of the reason why rebounding on a trampoline is sustainable is that your breath replenishes the oxygen used by the muscle cells. Therefore, at no time would you overwork your body.
Then, there is the possibility that you are a workout newbie. If you are in this context, starting your training light is the key to not giving up on your workout. That's why trampolining for a couple of minutes per day is recommended to optimize on your well-being and health.
Should you Jog or use a Trampoline?
Jogging beats quite some exercises when it comes to efforts applied, and benefits realized. I think it is how simple jogging is that even I can't resist the urge for a 30-minutes session every day except on weekends. All I need for the workout is a pair of designated running shoes.
Even so, this type of cardio exercise is too strenuous for a good number of people. Waking up in the morning and bringing yourself out of the house for jogs sounds like too much effort to make for some people. If that's so, then trampolining is the ideal option for the fitness enthusiast, yet busy you.
If you own a mini trampoline in your house, then you will be having a 2-in-1 advantage inducing fitness activity. The genesis of the benefits is from studies conducted by NASA. These studies concluded that rebounding for at least 20-minutes a day yields better training results than a 30-minutes jogging session.
In short, according to these NASA findings, you are better off trampolining than jogging. To this effect, the organization emphasizes rebounding among the astronauts to train muscles and build on endurance. That's two benefits from a single workout activity.
After spending almost 2 weeks in weightless conditions in space, the astronauts recoup about 14 percent of their muscle mass that was lost. Want to be cool like astronauts? Well, take up one of their favorite workout routines which is a fantastic way of getting lean, even on water.
Another reason to take up rebounding is its low-impact nature. This low impact strength and cardio workout alternative absorbs almost 80% of the shock that would have been felt by your knees and joints. As a result, a person between the age of 2 and 99 years can rebounce.
If you had excuses of not going outdoors for an exercise, you can still stay indoors with your family and work your way to full-body fitness.
How Many Calories Can You Burn in an Hour of Trampolining?
The question as to whether a trampoline actually blasts fat has lingered through the minds of many people. While the number of calories burnt is varies, what is clear is that this form of exercise does help you lose weight.
According to some trampoline gyms, an individual can burn as many as 1,000 calories in an hour of jumping up and down a trampoline. Putting this into perspective, running for 10, 6 minutes per mile jogs would yield the same number of calories.
The number may seem high, but trampoline gyms are usually more intense than your typical in-house trampolining session. These sessions are considered as High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, thus believed to burn a maximum of 500 calories every 30 minutes.
This means that if you go for a 1-hour workout, then you will have burnt 1,000 calories. Of course, this figure is not constant and depends on the individual's weight and performance characteristics.
On a separate study, it was found out that men burn an average of 11 calories while women torch about 8.3 for every minute of trampolining. If you compute the math for an hour based on these stats, then men would have dispensed 660 calories while women 498 calories for an hour.
The number of calories burned depends on how intense your workout session is and your weight. Engaging your arms, jumping higher or running about on the mat increases the number of calories dispensed per hour.
Based on data I retrieved from various calorie calculators, an hour of jumping burns between 130 to 240 calories for a 150-pound person. But then again, these calculators aren't known for their accuracies. However, the results can give you a great indicator of how much weight you can expect to lose in a week.

How Much Weight Can You Lose in A Month?
Since calories are stored in fats, torching up these fats essentially uses up the fats, thus reducing your weight. Fewer fats in your body mean reduced weight. Hence, the basics of weight loss through trampolining comes down to the calories you burn is more than those that you take in. If you want to shed weight, eat fewer calorie-rich foods and then hit the trampoline. Additionally, it is important that you Check out from many sources of how much your food contains animal products, so as to maintain a low calorie intake.
On an average, 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat in the body packs about 3,500 calories. From this relationship, if you burn the same number of calories, then you technically lose the exact number of pounds.
So, if your trampolining session burns the average of 500 calories per hour per day of trampolining in the gym, then it takes you 7 days to scorch the 3,500 calories. That translates to 1 pound loss every week, then 4 pounds lost per month.
But if you burn the 1,000 calories I had mentioned earlier, then expect to lose about 8 pounds per month on the higher scale, provided you maintain the same level of calorie intake.
Also, the process seems simple and straightforward, while in reality, it isn't. It is not only fats that are lost when you exercise. Also, lean tissue and water are also lost. Likewise, the body itself undergoes through a lot of changes that may necessitate that you further cut down on calories if you are to lose a steady stream of weight.
Basic Trampolining Exercises
There are several exercises that you can perform on a trampoline as you have fun. Because of the low impact nature of the exercise, you can vary the options as much as you want, provided you remain mindful of the persistent danger that exists with trampolining.
1. Bouncing and Stretching
Before you start any workout session, you have to warm up. Stretching your body forms part of this warming up that's even recommended by health professionals. It reduces workout-related injuries.
As you start bouncing, stretch out your arms at the same time. Hand movements are exercises that you can modify as much as you can. Alternate between overhead stretches, then have the hands in front of you, then repeat.
2. Trampoline Stretches
This exercise is more interesting than the one in which you were rebounding on the trampoline. You don't always have to be rebounding on the trampoline. Take this exercise for example. It involves using the mat as your prop support.
For this, lie flat on the ground, while your legs rest on the trampoline mat. While comfortably in position, lift your legs up and down for a couple of minutes.
3. Trampoline Jog
While a trampoline is a great substitute for jogging, it doesn't mean you shouldn't jog on it if you hate going outdoors for the same. Plus, the elastic mat would be absorbing most of the impact as your feet land on the surface.
To mimic an aerobic workout and elevate your heart rate, jog up and down as you alternate your arm position. If the right leg goes up, then the left arm goes down, and vice versa.
Continue jogging for 3 minutes straight, then take a 1-minute break as you catch your breath. Proceed with another 3 minutes before you can revert to another exercise.
4. The Normal Trampoline Bounce
This is the usual rebounding that your kids enjoy all over the place. You jump up and down on the mat for a period while giving yourself time to recover, then proceeding. It's a lot of fun that imparts great health benefits for you.
Make things more interesting by adding kicks into the bounce. The kicks are not as simple as it sounds and will take a lot of toll on your body, which is the aim either way.
So, how much weight will you lose after 1 month of playing trampoline? The number of calories burned during a trampoline session differs from person to person. Facts depend on weight, workout intensity, and calorie intake balance. However, the fact still remains that you will eventually lose some weight.
Figures of calories burned can be measured with the help of online calculators or if you have a fitness watch, the better. Factor this figure for the duration of the week, then extrapolate for the whole month. The results should give you an insight into whether your trampolining is just for fun or a serious weight loss workout.
My name is Larry Dunn from Dallas Texas and I have a deep passion and love for the trampoline.
With many years of experience in the field of healthcare service, I have decided to start his own website which is about a trampoline.
With this website, I will share his experiences and expertise advices on different factors to consider when deciding whether or not a trampoline is safe for you and your family.
