FORGET PRAYING that something will prevent Trump from taking office! It's like signing the stupid Impeach Bush or Obama petitions that does absolutely nothing except giving you the feeling like you did something by doing absolutely noting! If you give a crap, DO SOMETHING like look into this, download/fill out the forms include in this and other sources under Faithless Elector or any source that deals with the electoral college. They have the power to alter their electoral votes and void Trumps presidency. This needs to be done as soon as possible. I believe the electoral college meets on Dec 4th. The following is such an incident where the presidency was denied to a victorious candidate.
During Faithless Elector (wikipedia) During the 1836 election, Virginia's entire 23-man electoral delegation faithlessly voted against victorious Democratic Party Vice Presidential Candidate Richard Mentor Johnson[1] due to Johnson's openly admitted, publicized, long-term interracial relationship with his slave, Julia Chinn. The loss of Virginia's support caused Johnson to fall one electoral vote short of a majority, causing the Vice Presidential election to be thrown into the U.S. Senate for the only time in American history. However, Virginia's electors voted for Martin Van Buren as pledged, meaning the presidential election itself was not in dispute. The U.S. Senate ultimately elected Johnson anyway after a party-line vote. Despite 157 instances of faithlessness as of 2015, faithless electors have not yet affected the results or ultimate outcome of any other presidential election.

Well now , Lets just get rid of him , Hey "I know a guy that knows a guy , you know what I mean ?". Why don't we impeach Trump even before he is officially in office ? How about we invoke our Revolution Restitution Clause and just burn it down! .Join the thugs in the street and burn a few police cruisers Why don't we ask the Clintons what we should do ? The people and the electoral process have spoken clearly , IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT OUR FIFTH ESTATE DIDN'T LET YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOUR AND THIER THEIR INCREDIBLE BIAS AND BLINDING HATED ! What the left has to do right now is just plain suck it up , grow a pair and move on , wait for your turn . much like mommy used to tell you when she said ;
"Now honey , Put on your big boy pants " Might as well listen to her, Canada wants to put up with such childish and meaningless selfish attitudes almost as much as Putin would.
You got a vote - and you lost . welcome to VOTES -R US !
Hillary Clinton attempted to calculate a win through electoral college votes and miscalculated. Karmic justice, I say. But, on the surface, I agree the electoral college might need to be set aside. We've had this conversation after quite a few presidential elections. Unfortunately those who back the winner rarely like the idea. And when the roles are reversed those who were complaining become those smugly smiling.
What might be a more doable task is to clean up the corruption within the DNC so when it has an electable candidate seeking the nomination they might stand a chance of winning the nomination.
Trump stated he will bankrupt America and make a new deal. He is right, most people know it too, America is going bankrupt either way. It is just that he is not the man to make new deals based on his corporatism corrupted and failed businesses background.
War is the only answer for people to wake up and take control of their live rather Corporatism running Americans lives into servant and slaves or ruins our lives like in the middle East.
Sorry, I am not Frontline insane enough to join this civil and world war revolution. Yet will return with solutions and to help clean up the mess. These massive white heads on many US CITIZENS neck, must grow to a full size second head then into a two face head. Then explode it with a guns and bomb's like how Hollywood hit series of fantasy violence that been preparing YOU's Alll for this for a long time.
Sorry, if we have to take drastic action to clean this mess up we won't be looking to a coward to step in after the danger and take charge.
Remember I'm fearless, just not stupid. It takes alot more courageous person to do what ever it take to improve the natural environment than to steal and damage from it. It takes more courageous person to give kindness, harmony and be harmless for all earthlings than to create the greatest genocide for both creatures and humans in this world today.
Take your pick, it is your karma at stake?
Tooting your own horn doesn't equate to you actually being whatever you immodestly claim to be. It's a faceless forum here.
That is my face on this forum and yours is a pussy and get a load of that TRUMPET.
I will say that this pussy as you pointed out would be in the line of fire if need be. Although with my abnormally large head for a cat I'd probably be an easy target.
Then switch to a tiger or a golden lab of charactor, what is wrong with your own face. Just don't including your name for privacy act.
Well, if I used my own face I would be recognized. Can't be having that now
Anything other than a pussy with a big head at that.
On a political forum, please seriously.
The big head is, unfortunately, necessary to encompass the exceptionally large brain. But, cats are traditionally walkers between the worlds so not only do I benefit from a really, really, big brain but the spirits point extra stuff out too. It would be a travesty to bemoan my look when I benefit so much from it.
Sure, your blond hair may excite the ladies but is that anywhere close to what I'm getting from my avatar?
Avatar is the most popular film ever and mine too.
Use an avatar creature both fantasy, honorable ethics, strength and above all truth warriors of nature. Too many people will step on your tiny pussy like a door mat.
Step on me like a doormat? Have you ever attempted to tame a wild kitten? Step on me and be ready for stitches on your ankles. How dangerous are you? The only thing you can threaten is locking someone into one of your tiny eco houses without room for a microwave.
If anyone is afraid of a baby ball of fluff, they need to be examined. I was licked by a 500 Pound Siberian Tiger. Then he walked over and chopped through a cow bone bigger than my arm in one bite. Now that is a Cat.
For the X and Y generations of people these tiny house are twice the size they are living in now. They are affordable to 90℅ to buy of the world's population for both energy and comfort. Housing today kills animals habitat , what more destroys and kills most animals on the planet?
It takes more than courage to build an entire community of them.
It just occurred to me. I wonder if any study can be done to determine how many people swapped votes, if that vote swapping actually caused any upset in the balance of the electoral college.
Wouldn't it be a hoot to find out that attempt to manipulate the system (by democrats) caused that party to lose.
Now is not the time to be discussing the possibility of scrapping the electoral college. It's like trying to claim the $500 for landing on Free Parking when all players agreed to leave Free Parking out of the game. It's done. The point is that had circumstances been reversed and Clinton won all her supporters would acknowledge the validity of the electoral college. Wait one year begin complaining. However, by that time I'm sure there'll be plenty of other things for the Left to complain about; eg an improved economy, a strengthened military, things like that.
It is a solution, yes. Simply throw ethics out the window in an effort to get what you want. It is the way of the swamp, after all, and the biggest reason Trump is President, so why change anything? After all, liberals don't want ethical and responsible legislators, so why should they retain any ethics themselves?
The whole Government is Illegitimate, base on Corruption of Corporatism. It is not base on sound ethics like the American Constitution or true democracy like it drums repeatedly like a Religion. Large Hierarchy systems will always break their own ethically rules more than anyone.
No argument from me. And when we advocate losing the ethics of the people themselves to get the results we want we are no better than that government.
There are smaller, more ethically, more happier Governments in other countries. Just get rid of your FEDs and you got one too.
While a novel idea, the Faithless Electoral Vote will not work.
The largest amount of Faithless electors was 36, in 1836, when Greeley died unexpectedly causing his entire delegation to vote third-party. In order for Clinton to overturn the current electorate, she would need minimum of 72 faithless. Given the Republicans now have full control over the House, Senate, Supreme Court and Executive branch, fail to see any going no-vote.
The reality is in the map. By comparison, Red outweighed Blue & Yellow 15:1. Frightening? Absolutely. Even inversely, would still be frightening.

I wasted my college years on a guy who played with my head, played with my heart. I was blinded by the fairytale, the one that didn't exist.
The day I gave up on the idea of happily ever after, my focus became me. Moving forward and establishing my career. Until one day…I didn't expect him. My new boss, a six foot two, inked rock god. I believed I was working for the record label, I was wrong.
It's impossible for me to keep my distance, believe me I've tried. He's not who I expected him to be. He's so much more he's…Emphatic
I have a new author to add to my One Click list. I was not expecting to read this in one sitting, but darn I could not stop. The words just pulled me in and the beautiful descriptions of the island, beach, and growing passion kept me there.
Logan is on her way to paradise to celebrate her graduation with her best friend and the breakup from her loser/cheater boyfriend. She has a job lined up for when she gets back to Nashville, and plans to enjoy her week as Paige. What she doesn't expect is to meet Michael, and to spend the entire week having fun and falling for him.
Michael is in paradise to decompress from his hectic life as the front man of a rock band. He is tired of the busy schedule, the girls and the constant go go go. What he doesn't expect is to see her standing on the deck of the house next door as he walks down the private beach.
What happens when the week is over is where all the magic and excitement lies in this book! It is an amazing story that you will not believe. I would give this 6 stars if I could. Loved every word.
Five Stars
Kaylee Ryan has had a passion for reading since she was a little girl. That passion has slowly led to spinning romantic tales, and a one-click addiction. When she doesn't have her nose stuck in her kindle or fingers glued to the keyboard, you can find Kaylee hanging out with friends and family. She loves all genres of music, and enjoys scrapbooking. She lives in Ohio with her husband (her real life happily ever after) and their rambunctious little boy.

Meanwhile, life insurer Hansard Global (HSD) cheapens 12.5% to 122.5p as lower fee income sees pre-tax profits slide to £14.9 million from £8.4 million. This is partly the result of the European division being closed to new business and adopting new accountancy practises.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Gaming' started by ewsrocks, Aug 31, 2006.
no prices have been released yet for the individual components, although its pretty safe to assume that the sensor bar will be included in any console you package you buy.
Afterall the Wiimote wont work without it
Welcome to the forums btw
yeah i would turn on nintendo if they pulled a sony on me, making me have to buy the memory card seperate, and for the ps3 you have to buy an adapter just so you can play ps2 games on the ps3. and then the remote for the xbox, just so you can play dvds, i mean cmon!.
i wouldnt want to have to go out and buy a sensor bar just so i can play the wii. i mean they wouldnt sell the wii package so you would have to go out and buy acsessories.
but it would be resonable if they sold it with the package. theyre probably also going to include a nunchuck attachment, 512 memory card thing, and suposedly it comes with a remade duckhunt, and wii sports, but that was on that fake note i read.
yes u do get a wii, infact iOn gave me a wii and i'm actually typing this from the web browser that coem with wii, but yea the sensor bar comes with the system...its has to
Sure you do, check the link in my sig
at least you could play dvds unlike a certain unnamed console
Wii dosen't need a DVD player it already has tons of things 360 & PS3 don't have.
Uhm... the sensor bar is included in the box...
welcome, but a tip on posting. . . check the date of what you are responding to. The conversation you responded to took place before Nintendo officially anounced what was in the box. So these guys obviously know that the sensor bar comes with the wii by now. Try to respond to fresh threads. again, welcome
The Wii comes packaged with the Sensor Bar, you don't need to buy it seperate.

Inconsistency on chemo payments
Why is it that a chemotherapy drug that is proven to be effective on one type of cancer and insurance is covered for it is not covered on another type of cancer even if it too has good results?
Cancer treatment may be covered for low income patients, but for a medium income patient ($100,000 or less, not $250,000-plus like our money bag politicians say) it is not. I guess the saying that insurance is supposed to help people is not true anymore, or never was.
Wouldn't it make sense if the big amount of money our politicians raise for their campaigns was put to better use toward cancer research?

There's more art in New York than anywhere else and Armory week boasted several fairs as well as the usual 50-odd institutional spaces, some of them huge, with over 400 commercial galleries – roughly half in Chelsea, a quarter mid-town and on the upper east side, and a quarter down town in the more recently thriving Soho / Bowery area. Pretty hard to narrow to ten plus an out of town bonus, but here goes…
Donald Moffett: The Radiant Future @ Marianne Boesky Gallery – Chelsea (see Above) To April 7
Several New York galleries are showing abstract paintings which emphasised their objecthood (I also liked James Busby at Stux, Michiel Ceulars at Anna Cristea and Zak Prekop at Harris Lieberman). Donald Moffett may have taken that furthest. He had already established a repertoire of holes, together with a similarly fetishistic way of extruding paint into a texture like artificial grass. Now he extends the holes into tunnels through contraptions which hold the paintings away from the wall, feeling that the wall 'has let him down' as a place to put paintings.
Martin Roth: Untitled (Persian Rugs) @ Louis B. James, 143b Orchard St To 14 April:
On to real grass: downstairs at this young gallery the New York based Austrian artist Martin Roth, whose CV includes releasing crickets as a sound piece and turning his studio into a bird retreat, had persuaded it to grow through Persian carpets. This – especially after seeing Moffett's show – seemed a further step in radicalising the painting process as well as combining inside / outside and nature / culture in a way which reminded me of Walter de Maria's nearby Earth Room, which Dia still maintains. And Wardell Milan, upstairs at Louis B. James, is also interesting.
Bharti Kher The Hot Winds That Blow from the West @ Hauser & Wirth, 32 East 69th St. To 14 April:
Newcastle-born Indian Bharti Kher swells domestic concerns to fabulous size and fabulent effect. There are fresh variations on her characteristic use of bindis, some on shattered mirrors, some on a found staircase reaching only to the ceiling. The title work is a room of old American radiators which Kher assured me really had been shipped to India and back, picking up an aura as well as shipping costs along the way. Bodes well for her biggest British showing yet – at the Parasol Unit in September…
Polly Apfelbaum: 'Flatland: Colour Revolt' @ The Hansel and Gretel Picture Garden, 511 West
This gallery, small by New York standards, is packed with tables on which which Polly Apfelbaum has arranged explosions of colour and glitter which can be moved only with great horizontal care. Adventurous, but consistent with her previous conflations of painting and installation through fabric works on the floor. The result was startling and beautiful enough that the 'revolts' were selling despite the challenges of moving and displaying them.
Jeanne Silverthorne: Peripheral Vision @ McKee Gallery, 745 Fifth Avenue To 18 April:
Jeanne Silverthorne mines her 19th century Soho studio as a physical, emotional and creative place through thirty new sculptures, made in clay after the studio's features then cast in silicone rubber to haunting effect. They include floor pieces with grow-through dandelions, a light bulb with a genuinely circling moth, a series of storage crates (are they the work or its containers?) and – slightly more off kilter – sticks of dynamite, and the abstract presentation of offcut globs of rubber. Peripheral, perhaps, but peculiarly affecting.
John Chamberlain: Choices @ the Guggenheim, 1071 Fifth Avenue To May 13:
My favourite among the major shows was the timely retrospective of John Chamberlain (1927-2011) at the Gugggenheim. A chronological spiral up the ramp revealed more variation than I had expected from the his base of combining junked cars: the addition of expressive colour to the found elements from 1972 onwards, crushed box and foam works which foreground process, smaller works made from Tonka toys, the late adoption of a more minimalist chrome and white palette using only selected parts of the cars, and alumnium foil works. It all looked tremendous.
Jorinde Voigt @ David Nolan Gallery, 527 W 29th St To 28 April:
When I asked how to spot upcoming German artist Jorinde Voigt at her crowded opening, I was told she looked like a model – tall and beautiful with a trendy short haircut. So it proved, and her work is just as striking: cool objects and intricately annotated rhythmic drawings which pull you in whether or not you follow through on the complex intellectual algorithms which underpin them. The Lisson Gallery brings an overview of her previous work to England 21 March – 28 April .
Francesca Woodman: The Blueprints @ Marian Goodman Gallery, 24 West 57th Street
Francesca Woodman, who killed herself aged only 22 in 1981, is having something of a posthumous moment in New York. That includes a retrospective at the Guggenheim; her largest single work, 'Blueprint for a Temple', on show at the Met; and this broader exploration of her blueprints (ie photographs, drawings and texts run through an architects' blueprint machine) from the summer of 1980. They're actually sepia and purple as well as blue, and combine zig-zag motifs with a broader cultural references than the intimate black and white photographs for which she's best-known. Is the myth too big for the work? Perhaps not.
Jonathan Horowitz: Self-portraits in Mirror #1 @ Gavin Brown's enterprise, 620 Greenwich St To 21 April:
What looks at first like a room full of those Lichtenstein mirror paintings which combine a metaphor for painting with a paradoxical failure to reflect proves to be a series of copies made by Horowitz and 19 other artists from a small image of the original. Consequently the results are rather variable, emphasising the differences of hand and eye. Thus, they constitute self-portraits of a sort, leaving their multiply-unreflected viewers to ponder where they stand.
Dan Flavin: Drawings @ the Morgan Library, 225 Madison Avenue To 1 July:
This is a surprisingly broad and fascinating account of the role of drawing in Flavin's life: his early use of it to teach himself; plans for possible light pieces; records – by others under his supervision – of finished installations; impressively economical portraits, landscapes and seascapes he sketched for pleasure; and items from his own collection of master drawings with a comparable emphasis on the exploratory rather than the finely worked.
Jean-Luc Moulène:La Vigie;@ Dia Beacon To 31 Dec:
A pleasant 75 minute train trip north brings you to Beacon, where the Dia Foundation has spectacularly converted a factory to show its mass holdings of Flavin, LeWitt, Serra, Bourgeios, Knoebel, Heizer, Martin, Beuys etc in ideal conditions. I was also impressed by the temporary exhibition of French artist Jean-Luc Moulène, especially 'La Vigie' ('The Lookout Man') a series of 299 photos telling the seven year(!) story of the life of a Parisian weed and its surroundings near the Ministry for the Economy, Industry and Employment. We see the weed flourishing and cut back in turn, an outsider dealing with hostility…

text: Get Up and Go April 29, 2015 GET UP AND GO (Ireland/15A/94mins) Directed by Brendan Grant. Starring Peter Coonan, Killian Scott, Gemma-Leah Devereux, Sarah McCall, Ryan McParland, Natalia Kostrzewa, Aidan Lawlor, Sara Lloyd-Gregory, Fionn Walton, Paul Woodfull. THE PLOT: Life is coming to a head for Dublin buddies Coilin (Scott) and Alex (Coonan). The former is a struggling stand-up comedian convinced that one-night stand Lola (Devereux) is the girl of his dreams. Alex, on the other hand, has already found his beloved, Sinead (McCall), who just happens to be Lola's sister. She also, it turns out over pillow talk, pregnant. Which kinda scuppers the couple's plans to travel the world. Sinead realises that having a baby will be adventure enough. Alex is not convinced. At all. And so he openly sets about getting the hell out of Dodge, enlisting the listless Coilin as he heads around town, trying to call in favours and loans, or just borrow some moolah. As the day progresses, both Coilin and Alex are faced with a few grim realities, and the convictions that they set out with in the morning begin to shift, and wane, and wobble… THE VERDICT: All the ingredients are here for a funky little film, including the highly likeable Coonan and Scott – best known, of course, as Fran and Tommy in LOVE/HATE – in the lead roles, plus a hip, happy supporting cast and a kick-ass Domino Records soundtrack. So, how come GET UP AND GO lacks a certain, well, get up and go? There's a growing air here of a smart writer/director just finding his feet, of the wheels of his would-be clever scripts grinding to a halt every now and then. As likeable and thoroughly modern as these young Dublin hipsters might be, there's a lack of truth about the characters and their stories here that robs GET UP AND GO of some vital emotional grit. You don't fully believe in these guys, as much as you want to. Given that it's Coonan and Scott. In the end, the soundtrack – Villagers, Jon Hopkins, Bill Ryder-Jones, etc – is the best thing about this film. Oh, and that funky mixtape-head poster. RATING: 3/5 Review by Paul Byrne Get Up and GoReview by Paul Byrne2015-04-293.0Kick-ass Soundtrack filmbuff2011 Reviewing Irish films can be a tricky affair. The film industry here is so small that it can often feel judgmental when criticising the latest low-budget effort to hit our screens. But while recent efforts like Run & Jump and Glassland deserve praise, the same can't be said for Get Up And Go. This Dublin-set drama revolves around a quartet of twentysomething friends. There's stand-up comedian Coilin (Killian Scott) who is more sad sack than laugh bag. His best bud Alex (Peter Coonan) is afraid of fatherhood, given that his on/off girlfriend Sinead (Sarah McCall) tells him that she's pregnant. He wants to leave Dublin, preferring to be the guy who left rather than the guy left pushing the pram. Coilin also has lady problems, pining for his one night stand Lola (Gemma-Leah Devereux) who just wants him to get lost. Coilin and Alex hit the town and try to make some money and hopefully find the path to their now-uncertain futures… Get Up And Go was shot in familiar Dublin city centre locations, so it's refreshing to watch a film knowing that the locations are just around the corner. There's some amusement in knowing that Alex works in the Screen Cinema, though the titles on the marquee give away the fact that the film was made 2 years ago (look quickly for Much Ado About Nothing and Blue Is The Warmest Colour, which were actually released months apart). Dublin itself is a character. It looks great and is the best thing about this rather muddled and aimless film from director Brendan Grant. The characters are typical Irish twentysomething types, earnest but unsure of their direction in life and desperately wanting to leave the fair city while also eager to stay. You can't beat the 'aul sod. While the performances are good, this reviewer felt that the characters never really had a story arc worthy of 99 minutes. They don't seem to go anywhere story-wise and don't learn much along the way. The audience doesn't even get a great farewell scene, instead cutting unexpectedly to the end credits. Get Up And Go isn't a bad Irish film overall. It's just not a particularly good one, which means this is far from an essential watch. Catch it on RTE in a few years time. **

While I navigate this new website stuff, I have been working. Very hard work, I might add. As I type this, I am trying to figure out how to enlarge the type in the body of my post. Oh joy! Meanwhile, yes, working as I hold off Mr. Resistance, my old buddy, my pal!
Finished products are amazing things, let me tell you. Some how the work gets done as I am in that hazy fog of creativity. Then I blink and Voila! finished products. It's hard to explain, but, there you have it.
Two finished paintings, another started, and two finished jewelry pieces are the result of that working haze. You already saw the finally finished work in a previous post. The second piece is a smaller work I started and finished immediately before I moved onto the painting I was avoiding. It helped to have one work done to spur me on.
This little watercolor painting was done in twenty minutes from a photo I took of my granddaughter at my favorite beach, Pt. Lookout, NY, on a warm September day. It's been sitting on my art table for a while and just pulled me in. The vulnerable quality of the pose, a view of the back of her head, is so lovely.
It was the right work to do at the right moment, to help push resistance aside and get to work.

With the launch of its historical magnum opus 'Jodha Akbar', Zee TV has launched a Facebook app that allows couples to immortalize their love by inscribing their names on 'virtual' historical monuments! The idea is to support the preservation of our heritage by encouraging lovers to write their names on virtual monuments rather than defacing the real ones. The app gives users a choice between four different monuments where they would like to have their names inscribed. Once the user has typed their name and the name of their partner, the app gives them a choice between posting an image of their 'immortal space' on their Facebook pages or sending their significant other a more detailed love note via a message. The app can be accessed on Zee TV's official Facebook homepage https://www.facebook.com/ZeeTvIndia
"Very often, one finds people in India using the facades of national monuments to engrave their names alongside their lover's as a sign of eternal love. However, it is important that India takes adequate and timely measures to conserve its national heritage rather than allow its own citizens to deface historically significant monuments with graffiti. This is what prompted us to come up with a unique solution whereby we provide lovers with an interesting space to express their love in the virtual arena." says Mr. Akash Chawla, Head - Marketing, National Channels, ZEEL.
Watch 'Jodha Akbar', every Monday to Friday at 8 PM, only on Zee TV.

TIC, innovation et effets perçus dans les entreprises luxembourgeoises
[ICT, Innovation and perceived effects in Luxembourgish firms]
This study has two main contributions summarized as follows: 1. Impact of ICT on the capacities of innovation: The most intensive firms in ICT are also those that tend more frequently to innovate and to combine several innovations types - i.e. they are also "intensive innovator". However, this assertion must be moderate when the type of combination of innovation is taken into account and either only the number. 2. Innovation impact on firms' performance: In first seen, effects of the innovation depend on the intensity of innovation activities measured as number of innovations of various types implemented during the last period. In the second approach, detailed analysis of the particular combinations of innovation deployed show different performance. Moreover, all combinations of innovation do not produce positive effects and, according to the desired effects, some combinations appear more effective. More precisely, the expected impacts of each type of innovation are more frequently reached when the innovation combined at least organizational change with others.

Some people just cannot take no for an answer. Every time Chris Christie was asked if he was running for president in 2012, he always responded the same way. For whatever reason, the media and élite Republicans don't know what "NO" means. Christie even joked about killing himself to show that he is serious about not running. And even then, after making that statement, the media asked, "what will Christie do, will he run?"
After Christie answered that question again in his well publicized speech at the Reagan Library by directing all to a political video where he said "NO" a number of ways, the media asked again, "what will Christie do?" Apparently, the word "NO" coming from Christie's mouth is not an acceptable answer for the media or the elites.
And now this: Christie will make another statement explaining whether he plans to run or not. The Wall Street Journal has a story that says, just last week, Christie made a pledge that he will not run.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has kept the political world in suspense for weeks over his presidential intentions, told prominent California fund-raisers and donors as recently as last Wednesday he had no plans to seek the White House.
One assurance took the form of a pledge Mr. Christie made to Meg Whitman, the newly appointed Hewlett-Packard Co. chief executive, said two people familiar with the matter. As a condition of Ms. Whitman's hosting a high-priced fund-raiser for him, Mr. Christie said he wouldn't enter the Republican presidential contest, these people said.
But that cannot be right. The media and the Republican elites would not rest until poor Christie says yes!

When Your Corporate Policy Says Far More Than Intended
February 17, 2012 social media No commentsGo take a look at this beautiful picture Xeni Jardin took. Seriously. It's gorgeous in an utterly human way.
Xeni Jardin has been documenting her experiences fighting breast cancer. Her openness and honesty in discussing her care, her experiences, and her hope have had an amazingly positive impact.
I know this not only from the comments on Instagram and boingboing, but from actual, real people that I've personally met who tell me how inspired they are. Whether they are diagnosed with breast cancer, or have been concerned about it (I understand the latter encompasses pretty much all women in the US), Xeni's story has been an inspirational tale.
Chemo is a bitch. You're essentially trying to poison the cancer faster than you poison yourself. Knowing that there are caring, wonderful, real people taking care of you is a tiny reassurance when you find that your own cells are revolting against you.
I think her story is inspirational, and that dozens of stories like them exist at every hospital. Those stories are capable of reducing fear and possibly even helping people heal.
So, given the power of this medium, of these stories, of how much this unpackaged, raw, non-corporate press-release story can positively impact people's lives... ...when another hospital system says you can't talk about them on social media, or take any pictures of volunteers or staff even with their permission, you gotta wonder what they're trying to hide.
#disclaimer: As noted, I am not talking about the facility Xeni is at. She and I have only traded a few e-mails; she probably doesn't remember I exist. I am deliberately not naming any specific hospital, health network, or other corporate entity. I am not speaking about a specific policy at any institution, but am speaking about a principle that I've spoken and written about many times before (see this post from 2009 for an example). I am not speaking on behalf of any corporate entity. Duh. This is a scheduled post written over seventeen hours before it posts. And if you're drawing conclusions based on the fact that I have to include this long-ass disclaimer... well, those are your responsibility, aren't they?

Fact Sheet: John's Vegie Plot
Presenter: John Patrick, 12/09/2009
SERIES 20 Episode 33
It's been nearly a year since John started his garden plot, and things are going quite well. Adding organic material to the area has really paid dividends, as the soil's becoming friable and there are quite a lot of worms too.
The Update:
- Asparagus:The first thing John planted in the plot was five crowns of asparagus. These are doing pretty well, with some good shoots growing, but it's still too early to pick them. The asparagus plants need to establish and develop their root systems, so it might be another twelve months or even two years before John takes a crop from them.
- Potatoes: These are shooting really will and now is the time to put soil over them to keep the growing tubers in the dark which prevents them turning green and poisonous. Traditionally, this is accomplished using soil but John doesn't have enough soil to spare so uses pea straw instead. The added bonus of using straw is that, as it breaks down, it helps improve the soil. Place more and more straw onto the plants over the next few weeks, but remember to allow a small amount of light to penetrate the plant so it can still grow.
- Leeks: One of John's favourite vegetables. The only downside is that they take quite a long time to mature which means they take up quite a lot of space on a small plot, but they make up for that inconvenience by being such a versatile vegetable.
- Kale: John's most pleased by the progress of his Italian Kale. He says, "It's a bit tough as a steamed vegetable, but put in minestrone, it gives it real personality. It's absolutely delicious."
What John Planted Today:
All of these are green vegetables, so they really depend on good growth. John's going to give them ongoing fertiliser application using a soluble fertiliser every couple of weeks.
- Kale (Zingiber officinale) John plants seedlings into the ground and seeds into pots to ensure continuity of cropping. These should provide a crop in a few weeks time.
- Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis): John hasn't grown this before, so it's a bit of a trial. They're not the healthiest looking plants but John's hoping they'll improve.
- Silverbeet (Beta vulgaris): John makes some space for this staple vegetable in his plot.
Seed Raising:
Buying seedlings from the nursery is fine if you want to grow every-day, common vegetables, but if you want to grow something special, then you may have to raise your own seeds. Fill a seed tray with good quality seed-raising mix. Seed trays are available from nurseries. Tamp the potting mix down a little to ensure it's not too loose as having space between the particles can make it harder for the tiny roots to secure themselves.
John has seed for Red Marble Onion, Asian greens and 'Trout' lettuce, which has a lovely cos-type leaf with red marbling running through it. Moisten the potting mix then scatter the seeds over the surface and sprinkle a thin layer of potting mix on top. Water them and put a sheet of glass over the top to create a small conservatory to keep them moist and warm.
John says, "Well, that was a pretty good couple of hours work. I'm going to take these seed trays home with me, put them on the porch and keep them nicely watered and as soon as the weather warms up, I'll be able to plant them out."

So many posts about politics, yet there are so few posts about education. The future of our communities rests with our young people, but so few residents of Clarksville seem to care where their property taxes are going in regard to the schools. Are you aware that the Renaissance Academy has less than 95 students with 7 full time teachers and a principal? Are you aware that Clarksville High School lost three teaching positions from the previous year, yet has 360 students and must offer a math class after school because there enough teachers have not been provided? Last week the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast was held at IUS and the only high school students in attendance were those from the Academy and the middle school. The CHS students were not invited by the CCSC administration. This week, the Academy students were taken to the state house on a field trip in a chartered bus free of charge to all students. Blatant favoritism with your tax dollars. When is it going to stop?
Ask about last year's test scores from both high schools. If you knew the truth you would be demanding your tax dollars back.
It's time to step up as a community and demand some accountability, or you might not have a school corporation much longer. The Academy is bleeding the community dry with little or no data to back up its preferential treatment.

Home-alone child rescued from roof
Two mothers have been charged after a toddler was rescued from the roof of a three-storey home in the US .
Police and firefighters rushed to the north east Philadelphia home at around 1.30pm on Monday after residents spotted the two-year-old boy on the steep sloping roof wearing only a nappy.
An official pulled him to safety through a third-story window just as firefighters erected a ladder.
A neighbour, Jacob Durant, said a crowd gathered below the home kept talking to the boy, trying to get him to stop moving around on the roof.
Mr Durant took mobile phone video of the toddler while he was on the roof.
Police said two toddlers had been left home alone. Both mothers were charged with child endangerment and reckless endangerment.
The two-year-old's mother, 22-year-old Cleaira Bell, is charged as an adult. The younger child's 17-year-old mother is charged as a juvenile.

About the Book:
Elaine Jackerson is in quite a predicament.
Her husband, Bob "The Bulldog", is sleeping with his secretary, her daughter Lexi is experimenting in the backseat with random boys, and copper top eight year old Charlie wants nothing to do with her.
Enter the Herschel Grammar School PTA. They are women and they are not messing around.
Elaine reluctantly joins the PTA when she slips into the gymnasium for coffee on the first day of school. As soon the ink is dry on the sign up sheet, Elaine is thrust into a world that she never knew existed. A world where the PTA gets things done with blackmail, bribes, threats and quite possibly guns. A world that hummed right under her nose, taking over the town one woman at a time.
About the Author:
Elsie Love lives in the western suburbs, a mere stone's throw from the great city of Chicago. She resides in her garden cottage with her husband, children, and numerous animals that require constant care.
Confessions of a PTA Mafia Mom is her third novel. Her fourth book, Sixty Pounds of Sh*t & Counting, is a work in progress and should be ready by next spring. In her spare time, Elsie lunches with the ladies, vacuums, and dreams of running away to paradise to live as a woman of luxury and extravagant means.
(Come on…nobody's that perfect. For the real scoop on Elsie, check out her blog)
You can find Elsie Love here:
"…"Lanie Jackerson, when you signed on to become one of us, you joined more than a ladies' social club. You raised your hand before God and country and joined the PTA mafia. We are women, we are powerful, and we are not f…ing around." "
"He stepped closer. Heat radiated off his skin enveloping her without actual contact…Reaching for the flower, he gently traced the lace petals. "I like it when the bloom fades. I think flowers are at their peak of perfection when they are just past their prime." "
"His voice, husky and low, was filled with desire. "Later." "
"She had two last coherent thought as he pressed his lips into the curve of her neck,…"
"She could see the headlines now, Middle-Aged Couple Beds Hot Young Criminals. Children Kidnapped as a Result."
My Review:
"I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife. Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Jr. High…"
The Herschel Grammar School PTA is one hell of a PTA. You don't choose them, they choose you. They'll corner you and lock you in the gym until you sign up. Then, they initiate you into their little mob world where no one is safe. This is not a ladies' social club. Got a kid flunking off of the football team? Gather 'round ladies, we guarantee we have something on the coach, and it ain't pretty!
Got a husband that's been screwing around? We'll fix him, and good. We'll even send you out of town on a paid vacation to Las Vegas. Meanwhile, we'll kidnap your kids to keep you straight. We will even set you up with a stud muffin to help you enjoy yourself while we take care of the deed. You don't have to worry about a thing.
This is what the Herschel Grammar School PTA is all about. Rope 'em, tie 'em up, full-fledge mafia women. They take their positions in suburbia seriously. This book is hysterical. You don't know if you want to hide from the PTA or join up. I picked the quotes above because saying too much more will just give it away. You will laugh uncontrollably. But, make sure you are in a secluded place because I guarantee you will be spitting Root beer out through your nose.
On a scale of 1-5, I'm giving it five Root beers!
Author Interview:
Please tell us a little about yourself.
First and foremost, I have a mad passion for Dean's peppermint ice cream. I'm also a wife, mother of five humans and a few German Shepherds. I used to work with children who have been diagnosed with autism. Recently, I took leave to write full time. I'm hoping it will be the event that tips the scales in my favor (to actually make my living as a writer) but I'm not holding my breath.
Have you always wanted to be a writer?
I've always loved to read and write. I dabbled in writing a bit over the years. I wasn't serious until 2009 when I wrote my first book, Killer on the Key. When I reached the end of that project, I knew I was (and always have been on some level) a writer.
If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing?
Trying to become rich and famous by any means necessary.
How many books do you have out? The names?
I have three books out. My first two, Killer on the Key and Opals and Rubies are written under E.B. Loan and currently published by Wings Press. Both fall into the thriller/suspense categories (with Opals actually hosting a bit of horror in there). They will be re-released next spring under a different house. My third, Confessions is my first foray into humorous writing—hence the Elsie Love moniker. Readers don't like it when their authors make dramatic genre shifts. My fourth, Sixty pounds of Sh!t & Counting should be finished by the fall. I'm currently seeking agent representation for that work. We'll see…and last, but certainly not least, I recently sold a short story titled, Looking Glass Lilly, to Istoria Books. It will be released as part of their popular lunch reads series, shortly.
How did you come up with the idea for the book? (Personally, I can't wait to hear this answer.)
I had been referring to my local PTA as "The PTA Mafia" for years. It just seemed that so very often it was the same group, of the same oh-so perfect- (& tightly knit) ladies every year. If you weren't one of them…watch out! I saw one lady drive a veteran teacher to tears. Another raked a mom over the coals on the playground for not lying on residency form to keep the class sizes smaller.
*The National PTA BTW does not sanction such behavior and disavows all knowledge of such ghastly behavior*
Can you describe your book in one or two sentences?
It is about a middle-aged woman who finds out that the life she thought she had was a farce. In the end, she walks away with a much more glorious existence, but she goes through hell (and some hot bods) to get there.
Do you get caught up in the writing and the story and find yourself laughing out loud?
Nope. Most of the time I'm convinced my writing is inane drivel that no other human with half a brain would read. When I read the published version, then I see a smidge of talent—and that makes me happy.
What is coming up next?
Sixty Pounds of Sh!t & Counting. All I'm going to say about that book is: if you liked Confessions, You will love this. It is laugh out loud funny, I'm sure of it! Also, Looking Glass Lilly, which is a thinker. I'm telling you, for .99 cents @ Amazon.com, you can't go wrong.
Who is your favorite author?
I love Erma Bombeck. I believe her to be the pioneer of women poking humor at the idiocy that exists with parenting/marriage/life. Before she came along women weren't allowed to laugh at themselves or their lives. We all had to drink the Donna Reed Kool-Aid. Face it ladies, if you can't laugh at the dried boogers shellacked on your walls, you're going to end up in the loony bin.

|The Gathering ; Mike Peters & The Alarm - Prestatyn, Pontins - 29th & 30th January 2010
|Written by Dom Daley
|Wednesday, 10 February 2010 16:46
Where do I begin? I guess I'd better go back to the start and introduce you to one of the best...no, scrap that - not one of, but simply 'The Best' band ever to hail from this beautiful country that I dwell in or, more to the point, the lead singer from the band - stand up Mr Mike Peters. Singer, songwriter, survivor and 100% rock 'n' roller who has stayed true to his roots and done things his own way in a murky business.
It is testament to the hard work that one band, or rather one singer, can pull off such an audacious attempt on such an impressive scale. I excitedly embarked on the comparatively short 200 mile trip north with pass in hand through snow showers and sleet to see how a weekend of The Alarm could compare in the wild surroundings of a Pontins holiday camp and my recent Hard Rock Hell experience.
The band slammed into venomous versions of 'RIP', 'Regeneration' and 'Feel Free' playing the songs like they were written yesterday and not at the peak of such personal and turbulent times. For the encore, Peters returned to the stage in Elvis-style Vegas jumpsuit to crank out a rip snorting version of 'Gone Elvis'. It was time for more songs from his solo career before finally calling it a day for the first of two long nights for any performer....but we're not talking about any performer, we're talking about a man once described by Billy Duffy as 'The hardest working bloke in music'. Talking of Billy Duffy..... he once said he was so glad The Alarm existed because in the 80's they took a lot of negative press away from his band The Cult and if the press were slagging off The Alarm then it meant they were giving The Cult a week off. Since then Billy Duffy has recorded an album with Mike, recorded at Bob Rock's studio, contributed and played on his solo records and also performed at previous Gatherings. 2010 saw a sold out Pontins rock to the sound of old and new songs with fans both young and old.
This, however, wasn't the end. The night was still young; it was only just gone midnight for God's sake and it was back to the ballroom for the rare as hen's teeth performance from Children Of The Revolution as for the next fifty minutes the crowd were treated to Alain Insain's troupe of glam hags as they blasted out a near perfect set of stack-healed, spangly-shirted glamtastic tracks from all your favorite 70's bands. T'was Vince St. Claire's flying V that rocked the house through 'All The Young Dudes', 'Blockbuster', 'Motorbikin', 'Ballroom Blitz' and 'Get Down And Get With It', a couple of T Rex classics were laid bare for the Bowietastic finale before the crowd was finally slayed by the Quo's 'Sweet Caroline' and off trumped the glam titans and that was the Gathering 2010.

Sticky likes to say "Brand, when you're right, you're right. And when you're wrong, you won't admit it." And while that may be true a very minuscule percentage of the time I am here to wholeheartedly admit that I was wrong about Irish coffee.
Apparently coffee with a shot of Baileys (or weekend coffee) is not Irish. It's good coffee, but it's not Irish. Irish coffee is a little more high maintenance and a lot more sophisticated. Plus there's this fun step where you pour cream over a spoon. I mean who doesn't want to do that?
Alright, before I scare you off with words like "high maintenance" let's walk through how exactly we make our coffee Irish.
First, you pour hot water in your mugs and then pour it out. Easy enough.
Next we spoon some sugar in the glass (or 2 sugar cubes if you are the type of person who keeps those handy). Fill the glass with hot black coffee leaving around an inch for booze and cream. Maybe more, it is booze and cream after all. Stir to dissolve the sugar and then add a shot of whiskey.
Look at the images below. Aren't they pretty? Well they are wrong. So wrong. You see Sticky, I am admittedly wrong all the time. That spoon – it's suppose to be upside down. Crap.
Unlike me, place a spoon upside down above your glass. Slowly pour your lightly whipped cream over the bottom of that spoon. You are forming what is known as a "collar" for your coffee at this point. Or as I like to call it "dreamy cream cascading into coffee laced with liquor".
(Let's talk about that whipped cream. Lightly whipped means not runny but not stiff. Basically stop whipping before it begins to stiffen. You can also add a sweetener to it if you would like – aka Baileys. But you absolutely do not need to – plus it might nix your official Irish coffee status.)
Look at the collar. Just look at it! Can you imagine if I would have had the spoon turned the right way?
Let's be real here. I am absolutely not going to fuss with this more than I am going to put Baileys into my coffee. Just like I am not going to always make my own irish cream over purchasing Baileys. But St Patty's day is coming up…can't think of a better time to give real deal Irish coffee a try.
- Hot Water
- 2tbsp Sugar
- 2 cups hot black coffee
- 2oz Irish Whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream lightly whipped (stop whipping right before it begins to stiffen)
- Pour hot water into 2 clear glasses with handle. Once glass is preheated (not even a minute) dump out water.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of sugar into bottom of each glass. Fill with coffee until about an inch from the top and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour and ounce of Irish Whiskey in each glass.
- Top with a "collar" of heavy cream by pouring cream into glass over the bottom of a spoon. Enjoy!

Some types of site that you go to really does put you more at risk than others. Some people are starting to recognize this fact and are adjusting their web browsing habits accordingly. But it is hard to try and profile a site that you are most likely to get attacked from. Sometimes it is not the content of the site that puts you at the most risk but the technology that the site is made with. While we mostly think of adult web sites and warez sites as the one where you will pick up malware from, there are other kinds of sites that will put you at risk as well. A new type of site that might put you at risk is something that you might not ever visit. If you have kids it is the type of site that they will visit. But it doesn't matter who is going to the web site, all that matters is that your computer is now exposed to whatever malware that is on there. So let's take a look at why some of these new kids sites can put your computer in danger and what you can do to stop it from happening.
What makes the kid sites so dangerous?
When it comes to attracting the new tween market on the web there has been one thing that has proven to be very popular; the use of interaction. There are a lot of web sites that cater to kids who will either make a chat application or an easy game that will allow the kids to talk to each other. The parents do not mind because since the web sites are targeting kids, they are more restrictive on who they let on. They also monitor the participants more vigorously than the other web sites do. So you might be wondering if that is the case then how can the site be dangerous. Well most of the danger from the site comes from not the people who are on there but the technology that is running it.
So what is the technology that is running the site?
So how is Flash dangerous?
While for the most part the Flash technology is pretty safe, it does have some serious holes from time to time that need to be patched up. And sometimes there are web viruses that will also pretend to be a Flash security patch but it is really not. But for the purposes of this article, the main thing you have to worry about on the kids sites out there is a black hat hacker that is able to get in a hole in them. There are certain methods that are used in the Flash programming language that is called Actionscript that make the runtime act like it is a native client on the computer. A native client means a program that is installed right on the computer and not on the web. The Flash plugin is in the browser but it has some access to the file system of the computer. While, for the most part, the permissions are sandboxed, some of the black hat hackers out there have figured out a way to get past this limitation. This is why we see all of the security patches come from Adobe. The hackers target the kid sites because when kids are talking to their friends on the site, the last thing they are thinking about is computer security. So they are more willing to click on a bad link than an adult is. This leads to a huge opening for the bad guys.
If you want to keep your computer safe while your child uses one of these types of sites then I would suggest that you watch them the whole time. This way you can be sure that they are clicking on what they are supposed to.

U.S. Rep. Ron Barber will join several local leaders tomorrow in highlighting the devastating impact that automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will have on Southern Arizona and the local economy.
"One week from tomorrow, sweeping budget cuts will go into effect -- cuts that could cost more than 49,000 jobs in Arizona," Barber said. "These cuts will weaken our military, undermine our economic recovery and harm Southern Arizona families. We must get to work immediately to craft a bipartisan solution to reduce the debt so these cuts can be avoided."
Joining Barber at tomorrow's press conference to discuss the impact of the cuts to their organizations will be:
Dr. J.C. Mutchler, executive director and vice president of the University of Arizona.
Albert Elias, assistant city manager for the city of Tucson.
Brett Klein, assistant chief of the Tucson Police Department in charge of investigative services.
Greg Dickson, regional operations director for DaVita, a company that delivers dialysis services to patients with chronic kidney failure and end stage renal disease. The company has nine facilities in the Tucson area.
William Carnegie, president and chief executive officer of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Julia Strange, vice president of community benefit for Tucson Medical Center.
Art Del Cueto, president of Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council.
Matt Sherman, vice president of Local 2924 of the American Federation of Government Employees.
The cuts will be especially harmful to the Department of Defense, to national security and to military installations in Southern Arizona, Barber said.
Earlier this week, the Pentagon notified Congress that it will be furloughing its civilian workforce of 800,000 employees if sequestration goes into effect March 1.
The Pentagon furloughs will affect civilians across the country.
The cuts could force civilians to take up to 22 unpaid days off, one per week, through the end of the fiscal year in September, the Pentagon said. The employees would receive 30 days' notice before being furloughed.
Barber pointed out that sequestration never was supposed to happen. As part of the 2011 agreement to raise the debt ceiling, Congress approved a series of mandatory, automatic cuts to federal programs.
Those cuts would go into effect only if a bipartisan "supercommittee" charged with coming up with a package to cut the deficit failed to reach an agreement.
No agreement was reached. So $1.2 trillion in cuts -- half from the military, half from domestic programs -- are scheduled to go into effect one week from tomorrow.

The pioneers of Farwest Nepal
Posted By: FarwestNepal
The first training for trekking guides and porters was organized and conducted in cooperation with the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management (NATHM) and Tourism Development Society (TDS) in Farwest Nepal. Two courses were held from February 23rd to March 9th 2016 for Trekking guides and from February 23rd to March 2nd for trekking porter guides. As a venue the Bhada Homestay Village of Kailali was chosen.
Both organizations NATHM and TDS have similar aim to develop skilled workforce required by hospitality and tourism industry in Nepal. In the newest destination of Nepal is a challenge, but at the same time an opportunity for the region.
All together 40 participants, 40 pioneers were striving to be certified by NATHM: 26 participants were registered for the trekking guide training, and 14 trainees attended trekking porter guide course. The participants were from 8 districts of Farwest region and 3 districts of mid-western region, which allowed information exchange between participants and established the network of trekking guides between 11 districts.
Shankar Baral, participant from Darchula shared with us: "The three-week training was intensive, but at the same time it was exciting and interesting learning experience. It was a great opportunity for us to get very practical knowledge from the experienced trainers. This spring a tourist group has booked their 11-day trekking tour for the Api Nampa Base Camp with one of the local tour operators. I am happy to assist them in conduction of this trip, were I can practice my knowledge!"

Verizon Communications Inc. has agreed to pay $4.8 billion to acquire Yahoo Inc., ending a drawn-out auction process for the beleaguered internet company. The price tag, which includes Yahoo's core internet business and some real estate, is a remarkable fall for the Silicon Valley web pioneer that once had a market capitalization of more than $125 billion at the height of the dot-com boom.
The transaction is sure Verizon's AOL internet business, which the company acquired last year for $4.4 billion, by giving it access to Yahoo's advertising technology tools, as well as other assets such as search, mail, messenger and real estate.
It would also mark the end of Yahoo as an operating company, leaving it only as the owner of a 35.5 percent stake in Yahoo Japan, as well as its 15 percent interest in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA.N).
Started in 1994 by Stanford graduate students Jerry Yang and David Filo, Yahoo in its early years was the destination of choice for many making their first forays onto the World Wide Web. Today, it is more like a story of how the mighty have fallen for a compnay that was once a household name. For New York-based Verizon, the deal simply adds another piece to the digital media and advertising business it is trying to build. The deal is expected to be announced early today Monday, the 25th of July 2016.
Verizon plans to keep the Yahoo brand, according to a person familiar with its plans.

Newcastle Jets have appointed technical director Branko Culina as head coach. Culina has been installed as the coach for the next two years following the resignation of Gary van Egmond yesterday.
Despite almost ruling himself out of the job, Culina has accepted the position and will commence immediately.
The former Sydney FC boss said he was unsure about coaching again after a bad experience with the Sky Blues but will now be back in the hot seat as the Jets strive to improve on last season's Premiership hangover where they finished bottom.

KUALA LUMPUR May 10 - Leaders must speak in the correct Bahasa Melayu at official functions to promote the usage of the national language, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said Monday.
He said the language culture of present leaders was akin to "Touch N Go" which would eventually be followed by the people.
"We must speak the national language correctly. The correct use of Bahasa Melayu should begin with those in authority. If the leaders do not converse in proper Bahasa Melayu, our younger generation will also not speak the language correctly," he told reporters after visiting the National Arts Academy.
This trend, if left unchecked, would lead to the birth of a generation speaking "bahasa rojak" or mixed language, he said.
As such, leaders should set an example by speaking the language correctly, he said.
"For instance, when you speak in English, speak in proper English. Likewise, when speaking in Bahasa Melayu, speak the language correctly.
"If our spoken language is not right, people will say it's not right," he said.
Dr Rais questioned the attitude of certain quarters who disputed the government's action in the "bahasa rojak" or mixed language issue as not honouring the national language as enshrined under Article 160 of the Federal Constitution.
"If such a honour is not accorded to the national language, why should we enact the National Language Act? Since we've the Act, we should implement it," he added.
