Bhubaneswar, APR 9: Odisha begins its Assembly polls along with General Elections, in a case where political pundits are predicting Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal (BJD) to get a comfortable win for a fourth term in office.
The two-phase simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Odisha will decide representatives from 10 Parliamentary and 70 Assembly constituencies which are spread over in the western and southern areas of Odisha.
There are 98 candidates, including former Congress chief ministers Giridhar Gamang and Hemanand Biswal, former union ministers Jual Oram (BJP) and Bhakta Charan Das (Congress), in the fray from Bargarh, Sundargarh, Sambalpur, Balangir, Kalahandi, Nabarangpur, Kandhamal, Aska, Berhampur and Kalahandi parliamentary constituencies.
Hockey star and former Indian team captain Dilip Tirkey is contesting the election as a BJD candidate from Sundergarh Lok Sabha seat, pitted against Hemanand Biswal of Congress and BJP's Jual Oram.
There are 673 aspirants for the 70 Assembly seats. Prominent among them is Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who is seeking re-election from Hinjili constituency in Ganjam district.
An electorate of 1,36,46,989 voters, including 66,62,309 women, are eligible.
533 video camera and 2546 still camera are being used. As many as 1310 central government officials have been engaged as micro-observers. Besides 31 general observers, 20 expense observers and 70 assistant observers have been roped in for the first phase polls.
The Ganjam district administration has decided to webcast polling in 19 selected booths in various Assembly constituencies. The main objective being to prevent illegal activities like booth capturing and bogus voting. Of the 2,879 polling stations in the district, 548 booths have been identified as sensitive.
The webcast would connect a polling booth to the Election Commision in New Delhi, state chief electoral officer in Bhubaneswar and district election officer at Chhatrapur and the video would be closely monitored in the district election control room.
Tight security measures have been put in place in several constituencies in the Maoist belt where the extremists have given a call for poll boycott. More than 50 of the 70 Assembly segments, which go to the polls tomorrow, are in Maoist-affected areas.
The Election Commission has engaged 156 companies of Central Para Military Force (CPMF), besides about 27,000 personnel of the State police to ensure free and fair elections.
Taking into consideration local situation, the timing of polling has been reduced by two hours in 56 Assembly segments. While the polling time will be 7 AM to 4 PM in 56 Assembly segments, for 16 other segments it will be 7 AM to 6 PM.
Polling in the remaining 11 Lok Sabha and 77 Assembly constituencies in the state is scheduled to be held on April 17.

In a packed Comic-Con panel in Ballroom 20, the cast and fans of HBO's "True Blood" got the opportunity to say goodbye to exec producer Alan Ball. Scribe/co-exec producer Mark Hudis will take over as showrunner for the vamp camp after Ball steps down next season.
During the Q&A, Ball has asked about future episodes, and he had to gently inform audience members that he "would not be involved in those decisions."
"Alan Ball never makes you do the same thing again. Just when you film the amazing scene he gives you, you have something even better next time," said star Stephen Moyer. "We must say thank you to Alan Ball."
The soon-to-be-former showrunner received a standing ovation from the cast and the audience.
"Thank you," said Ball. "If I wasn't so old and so beat up, I would do 11,000 more episodes because this job is the most fun I ever had in my career."
The panel included Ball, along with "True Blood" stars Anna Paquin, Sam Trammell, Moyer, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Alexander Skarsgard, Deborah Ann Woll, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Joe Manganiello, and recent cast addition, Christopher Meloni, who talked a little about his former job as Lt. Elliot Stabler.
"What is considered a sex crime on this show is very different," joked Meloni, who recently left his longtime gig on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
When asked if he would ever return to the show, Meloni stated: "I had 12 great years and no bad blood, so we will see what comes."
The cast talked about the upcoming season, but offered very limited info so not to reveal any plot points. Moyer's recent turn as a director was also discussed by the cast.
"I was quite nervous because I love them all, and wanted them to be pleased, so it was terrifying. But I was pleased with it," said Moyer. "It's something I always wanted to do…I was the artistic director in a theater company for ten years back in London. It look 15 years for me to go back to it. I asked Alan in the first season, and he said, 'No.' I asked again, and he said, 'No.'"
"It just didn't make any sense to not let him do it after I let him suffer," said Ball.
The vamp drama is one of the cabler's most-watched shows. The fifth-season preem aired on June 10 to 5.2 million viewers in its initial telecast (6.3 million for two airings).
HBO recently gave a sixth season order to "True Blood."

Can they work together to avert disaster?

It's All Politics GOP Deficit Panel Picks: Hensarling, Camp, Upton, Kyl, Toomey, Portman August 10, 2011 There were no real surprises among the GOP picks, just as with the Democratic selections announced Tuesday by Sen.

Atypical MolesAtypical MolesThe skin cells that produce pigment (melanocytes) sometimes group together to form moles. Most people have at least 10 moles on their bodies. Melanocytes can form abnormal moles, also called atypical moles or dysplastic nevi. These moles are not malignant themselves. But their presence is a warning of an inherited tendency to develop melanoma. Some people have only 1 or 2 atypical moles. Some people may have more than 100. The tendency to develop atypical moles can run in families (inherited predisposition). Early signs of melanoma in atypical molesThe ABCDE rule of detection means watching for:
Atypical moles are seen most commonly on the back but may be anywhere on the body, including below the waist, on the scalp, or on the breasts or buttocks. They may fade into surrounding skin and include a flat portion that is level with the skin surface. They may be smooth, slightly scaly, or have a rough, irregular, "pebbly" appearance. Atypical moles usually are not present at birth but develop some time later. Several types of atypical moles are known to develop before melanoma (melanoma precursors). Atypical moles are the most common precursor, but not all atypical moles develop into melanoma. Precursors to melanoma include:

I've always sort of dreaded laundry day because when I was finished, it was time to walk away from the washer and dryer -- and I could never quite convince myself the dryer was off. Isn't that silly?
Read Whole Story
My experience suggests that most people have a great deal more power and potential to be effective than they allow themselves to believe much less actually achieve.
You already know the generalization approach: "These things never...," "I always...," etc. With deletions, the critic simply omits inconvenient data points, and the distortion approach simply twists what has been said to fit the argument.
The value in a book, article or even a simple blog post isn't in finding magical solutions that work all by themselves; rather, the value lies in the possibility that you might start thinking about what you can actually do.
There are some things none of us will ever do, like flying by flapping our arms. These truly do belong to the "I can't" realm. But what about those things that we declare outside our capability simply because we declare that we can't?
How often have your sacrificed your own self-approval in favor of that short-lived approval from another to whom you have assigned power over you?
The key to creating change at any level you might wish is to start by looking in the mirror and asking yourself one simple question: "What can I do to make a difference that requires no one's permission other than my own?"
Have any work-related stress these days? Imagine doing even more than you already are and winding up both more relaxed and with more energy. Sounds beyond counterintuitive, I know, but bear with me.
The goal of this workaround is to turn the negative aspect of the complaint into something positive that you and the one complaining can use to make improvements.
The next time you are faced with a problem, reframe that problem as a puzzle. Puzzles have solutions and that problem you are holding onto right now just might contain a key piece to the whole puzzle coming together.
Ask yourself what your life might look like if going to work was the best and most empowering aspect of being alive.
Dr. King's actions serve as a reminder that no matter the situation or the odds, there are still steps you can take to make a difference, to find a way to overcome what's in the way, to work around the numerous obstacles.
When we hit obstacles in life, too often we are tempted to get angry or give up. The best and usually least used alternative is to "workaround" that obstacle.
What could you do to make your life less frustrating and more successful? Are you willing to own the outcome you prefer and do what you must to move from helpless to helpful?
I know all too well that getting unstuck is rarely going to be easy and that working around what's in the way is often messy. However, there are four basic keys I have discovered that you can apply.
The first area of focus in order to achieve satisfaction and success in the day-to-day world of work may well be on your own mindset.
I want to share with you a powerful "workaround that works" to improving your life, a simple yet effective approach for overcoming anything that appears to be in your way.

Stone brews one with reclaimed water
"Toilet to draft" would have been a tasteless headline
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., March 23
Call me Satan, but I sure do love it when celebrities break down in public.
First off, what the f is Robert DeNiro doing on Katie? Ooooh! It's bad enough that praise is being heaped upon his latest walk-through performance in Silver Linings Playbook. Look how he makes himself look on national TV. Like a bum. Like a crybaby mamaluke. Crybaby mamaluke* of the year!
It's a know fact that DeNiro hates doing promotional appearances almost as much as he dislikes working without a script. For the first half of the segment Bobby sits at the end of the couch looking like Jerry Mahoney minus Paul Winchell's fist up his back. When Silver Linings director David O. Russell begins to exploit his son's bi-polar disorder in order to sell more tickets, DeNiro waits for his closeup and, as if on cue, begins peeing with his eyes.
I'll see you all in hell, but damn if this isn't funnier than anything in Identity Thief.

THURSDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Women who had their first menstrual cycle at an early age may be at increased risk for heart disease, a new study suggests.
The onset of menstruation at a younger age is associated with a higher body-mass index (a measurement of body fat based on height and weight), larger waist circumference and obesity in adulthood -- all factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease.
The report is scheduled for publication in the January issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
The study included more than 1,600 women, aged 40 and older, who took part in the Framingham Heart Study between 2002 and 2005. The women were assessed for belly fat and fat under the skin.
The researchers looked at the relationship between these types of fat and female reproductive factors after adjusting for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity levels, hormone replacement therapy and menopausal status.
The timing of the first menstrual cycle (menarche) was associated with overall levels of fat in the women, but not levels of fat in specific areas of the body, the investigators found.
"This research suggests that select female reproductive risk factors, specifically onset of menarche, are associated with overall [levels of fat], but not with specific indices of body fat distribution," lead author Dr. Subbulaxmi Trikudanathan, of Harvard Medical School, said in a news release from the Endocrine Society.
"Ultimately, the important question is whether female reproductive risk factors can be used to target lifestyle interventions in high-risk women to prevent the metabolic consequences of obesity and cardiovascular disease," Trikudanathan added.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the United States.
Although the study found a link between early onset of menstruation and factors related to cardiovascular disease, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

The American College of Cardiology has more about women and heart disease.

Doin' it Lockhart Style in the OC
While patrons were lined up at Oddfellows for noon brunch on a beautiful Fall Saturday, we (wife, 18-month-old son, and I) were able to walk right up to the counter at Lockhart Smokehouse, just down the road. Chef Tim McLaughlin, who spent some time learning from the pit boss at Lockhart's Kreuz Market, was even there to greet us and explain the menu.
Some Lockhart Smokehouse History
The restaurant's co-owner, Jill Bergus, has Lockhart barbecue in her family lineage. Her grandfather, Edgar Schmidt, operated Kreuz Market from 1948 until his sons took ownership in 1984.
Despite living in Central Texas for 16 years, I never visited Kreuz Market. The only Lockhart BBQ joint I've ever tried is Black's Barbecue, and it was quite good…but not as good (in my humble opinion) as some of the best meat shacks in Austin. So, we went to Lockhart Smokehouse without any expectations.
Clod, Brisket, and Kreuz Original Sausage
We started with a half pound of shoulder clod (a leaner and beefier cut) and one sausage. In addition, we ordered sides of mac n' cheese and tomato/cucumber salad.
I found the clod lacking in flavor, necessitating the use of sauce. The sausage was okay, but not as juicy as I expected. So far, I was enjoying the side items better than the meats. Could this be? Would I be able to — with my no bad review policy — blog about this place?
What was I even thinking getting the shoulder clod? Why do I sometimes go against my better judgement like that? So I went back to the counter and ordered a fourth pound of brisket and peach cobbler.
If you want your brisket with bark (delicious rub) at Lockhart Smokehouse, you'll have to contend with a little bit of fat to go along with the lean, but that's not such a bad thing. The brisket was out of this world good — good crust, yummy meat, and succulent fat.
The meat fest left us with overstuffed tummies, so we brought the peach cobbler home. After a 30 minute reprieve, the wife and I polished off the cobbler without complaint.
Things have changed at Lockhart Smokehouse since it first opened in early 2011. They've softened their "no forks, no sauce" stance and seemed to have added some side items since their website was last updated. I'm not sure it's the best overall barbecue I've had, but it may well be the best brisket in town.
Lockhart Smokehouse is located 400 West Davis St., Dallas, Texas 75208 (at Bishop Ave.). For more info, visit their website at www.LockhartSmokehouse.com

I call Barack Obama to account for picking another bland, midwestern pretty boy.

Is it wrong for me to think that Althouse is doing the video blog in a white open shirt with a black bra?
Also, Washington not smiling in in his picture? If you were really hip you would would have said insteado of, "...He's not even smiling, what's he so cranky about."
You should have said, "WHY SO SERIOUS?" - 8/5/08, 9:55 AM

So old sobersides George is scary -- which is a no no; and young bland Evan is a pretty boy -- which is a no no: what do you want, lady?
- Trooper York said...
George wasn't smiling because he was very conscious of his wooden teeth and often covered his mouth when speaking. Also he was in great pain when this portrait was painted as he was suffering from a carbuncle on his posterior. A literal pain in the ass. So it stands to reason that he did not smile.
But as an interesting note, if you look really closely, you can see that he is also wearing a lacy black bra under a white shirt.
George was also a tease. - 8/5/08, 10:13 AM

UWS guy... you're right... I missed a great pop culture reference. Sorry!

Now concentrate!
The problem is the alpha male politicians urge to couple with a bland midwestern (or North Carolinan) pretty boy! - 8/5/08, 10:15 AM
- Randy said...
If he picks Bayh, it will be because the man has an impressive resume not because he is a pretty boy like John Edwards. Edwards had won just one election.You may not have heard of him, but Bayh was an extremely successful two-term governor before becoming senator, cutting taxes while delivering the largest budget surplus in state history. Bayh is a proven vote-getter in a Republican state, having been re-elected governor by the largest margin ever for any candidate there, and garnering a highest percentage of votes any Democrat has ever received in his races for U.S. Senate.
Is he an exciting pick? No. Can he, unlike Joe Biden, keep his mouth shut and not step on the candidate's message? Yes. Will he make a huge difference? Probably not, vice presidential candidates usually don't. However, if Bayh's presence puts normally solid-GOP Indiana's 11 electoral votes into play, and the GOP has to spend significant resources to defend a state they normally take for granted, then it works well for Obama whether or not he wins the state. - 8/5/08, 10:16 AM
- Jonathan said...
Yes, Evan Bayh is just like John Edwards, except that Bayh has a respectable public record and Edwards does not. Dan Quayle had a respectable record too. And neither Bayh nor Quayle has yet been caught out in an act of profound dishonesty and hypocrisy as Edwards recently was. But since these guys are prettyboys let's judge them on their looks and ignore the unimportant differences between them.
Bayh would actually be a good choice, given that he is a moderate from a conservative, midwestern state. Hillary Clinton, whatever her appeal to many voters, is impossible as a VP candidate because she is untrustworthy and has strong incentives to undermine Obama's campaign or presidency or both. But she's a woman, so let's evaluate her based on stereotypes, as we did the prettyboys. (Are there any other female VP prospects?)
Maybe you were trying to be ironical, but it seems to me that your comparison of VP candidates fails. - 8/5/08, 10:35 AM
- Simon said...
Ann, you said in your post below that you had no opinion on Bayh, but that can't be right in September 2005, you wrote:
"[T]hose 22 Democrats who voted no [on confirming Chief Justice Roberts] ... have openly embraced an ideological view of the Court from which they can never credibly step back. For them, appointing Supreme Court Justices is a processes of trying to lock outcomes in place, and we shouldn't believe them if in the future they try to say otherwise.
. . . .
I hope no one on that list is running for President."
Of course, Obama was on that list. But what was the name that headed that list? It was Evan Bayh. So if it's Bayh -- and of course it makes perfect sense that it would be, because Obama isn't going to pick Hillary, but he perhaps thinks that picking someone who supported her will placate her supporters -- don't we end up with a ticket with two names from the list of people you indicated would be in trouble with you should they run for President? - 8/5/08, 10:40 AM
- Simon said...
Erratum: strike "that can't be right" from my comment above.
- Randy said...
Are there any other female VP prospects?
Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. - 8/5/08, 10:42 AM
- Simon said...
Jonathan said...
"[N]either Bayh nor Quayle has yet been caught out in an act of profound dishonesty and hypocrisy as Edwards recently was. "
Edwards has been accused by the National Inquirer - when did a hit by the gutter press, the supermarket tabloids, the Jar Jar Binks of media rise to the respectability of "cat[tching]" someone? Has the story been confirmed by a credible source (maybe it has, I don't follow such things), or is this just a case of seeing something unpleasant written on the toilet wall about someone we dislike? - 8/5/08, 10:49 AM
- Simon said...
Randy said (quoting Jonathan)...
"'Are there any other female VP prospects?' Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius."
But then you have to explain to the Hillary supporters why picking Sebelius isn't snubbing Clinton, and they aren't going to be bought off (one would hope) with observations about why Hillary is "impossible as a VP candidate" such as those that Jonathan - even if correctly, I think - raised. - 8/5/08, 10:52 AM

Don't count on that. Bambi will take the Region and probably the Marion county vote and that's about the best he can hope for. If anything, Evan is a liability for him to pull the true liberal vote in Indiana as most liberals actually despise the man. Go figure. - 8/5/08, 10:53 AM

At the same time, I wonder how often polls in previous elections showed Indiana as a toss-up state, as it is polling at the moment. I'm not predicting it will end up that way, mind you. - 8/5/08, 11:10 AM
- Randy said...
But then you have to explain to the Hillary supporters why picking Sebelius isn't snubbing Clinton
I don't have to, but Obama may have to, if he chooses Sebelius, which is looking unlikely, as the contest is shaping to be one centered on the Midwest - 8/5/08, 11:12 AM

Of course but its all in the packaging Simon. Bayh is six years older than Obambi but looks 10 years younger and that's what counts. Youth equates progressivism which translates to change.
It's actually not so much that Bayh represents the old politics as much as he'll have to do quite a bit of equivocating how he governed Indiana as a fiscal conservative but is going to be the VP for a tax and spend liberal. - 8/5/08, 11:18 AM
- Randy said...

You think so? Almost all of the partisan Republicans here were not McCain supporters until after it was apparent he would be the winner. Most of them have been exceedingly critical of him over the years. With one or two exceptions, they've gotten over their disappointment and give every indication of turning out to vote for him. I sincerely doubt that any liberal anywhere is going to stay home if Evan Bayh is the vice presidential nominee. The goal is to get Obama, their preferred candidate, elected President of the United States after all. - 8/5/08, 11:20 AM
- Hoosier Daddy said...

I think its a safe assumption is that most of those partisan Republicans are not so much supporting McCain as voting against Obama.
I sincerely doubt that any liberal anywhere is going to stay home if Evan Bayh is the vice presidential nominee.
I didn't say anywhere, I said Indiana. But again, it certainly does add another chink to his holy armor in that he represents change. Simon is correct that Evan does represent the old school of DC politics although probably not to those outside Indiana. - 8/5/08, 11:29 AM
- Outis said...
Barack should indeed choose a Clinto to be his running mate - George Clinton, that is. Actually, forget Obama. GC should be the top of the ticket. Think of how THAT would change the perception of America in the world! (Perhaps we could make Ice Cube the Veep. Imagine him at state funerals!)
- Outis said...
But since these guys are prettyboys let's judge them on their looks and ignore the unimportant differences between them.
I don't see why you're blaming Professor Althouse for this - Obama is the one who keeps bringing it up! - 8/5/08, 12:02 PM
- Outis said...
As for Washington's funny looks - he was considered kind of funny looking at the time, too. There has been speculation that Washington may have have been an XXY male.
- Zachary Paul Sire said...
Bayh has been an elected public official for over 30 years and accomplished far more than Quayle and Edwards had (and ever did). He knows how to win elections, too. It's pretty disingenuous that you didn't even acknowledge his long record...you went just with the "pretty boy" stuff to try and prove your point!
- Ron said...
George Clinton on the ticket? For the "urban" vote? And Barack Obama too! Whew, that's to make sure it's not about race!
- Palladian said...
Aristocrats almost never smile (especially in the broad, modern way) in portraiture before the 20th century. Smiling wasn't an appropriate way of conveying dignity and authority in a portrait. You'll almost never see more than a slight, disdainful smile, and certainly never a smile exposing teeth, in a pre-20th century portrait of an aristocrat. Smiling, toothy or otherwise, was reserved for obsequious or drunk peasants in genre pictures.
- Palladian said...
I should amend my comment: the people in the last painting linked are middle class burghers, not peasants. Middle class people sometimes smile in Dutch genre paintings, as the Netherlands was one of the first places that had a middle class, though the smiling is almost always a moralistic inference about their drunkenness and folly.

Picking Bayh would be kind of ironical, seeing as it was Dan Quayle who jackhammered his dad's butt out of the Senate, sending him back to private life after spending some 30 years in Congress.
And if Obama were to pick George Clinton for VP, I'd vote for him. Twice. Wow, I can't believe I just said that. But it's true.

Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., told The Indianapolis Star today that Sen. Barack Obama has not asked him to be his running mate and that he's not expecting Obama to announce his vice presidential pick when Obama is in Indiana Wednesday.
Asked if he will be Obama's vice presidential choice, Bayh said; "I have no idea. You'd have to ask him."
Bayh will be introducing Obama at Wednesday's town hall meeting in Elkhart, but said he knows of no plans for a private meeting with Obama...
If someone posted this already I missed it.
Bayh said that while he has "no idea" what Obama's timeline is for announcing his running mate, "I'm absolutely confident there will be no announcement tomorrow. I guess the best way to put it is, if there's an announcement tomorrow, I'd be as surprised as anybody else." - 8/5/08, 7:47 PM

Very insightful vlog post, Ms. Althouse. I quite agree.

I like the video blog, and I think you will grow even more formidable in this format.
But seriously. We Desperately Need To Emphasize Policy and De-emphasize Appearance In This Country.
Bald, heavy, coke-bottle-glasses-wearing, slightly un-telegenic people have ideas, too. This emphasis on the superficial represents a missed opportunity on your part, in my opinion.
As long as politicians maintain the Fernando "It is better to look good than to feel good, dahling" attitude, we can expect More Of Same Compost from them, and it would be to your credit not to play into that hand.

Amusing vlog, but I think Randy's 10:16am comment gets it right. Bayh has a long history of success in public office, and the fact that he isn't the most exciting guy in the world is exactly what Obama needs. Obama is the show horse, and he needs a work horse on the ticket. Bayh will do that, and the fact that he exudes such bland midwestern normalcy helps Obama.
Awhile back, I was at an event where Bayh was speaking, and in conversation a friend of his asked about his kids, and he said his son's team just won the state hockey championship (or some big hockey tournament like that). At the time I thought, "good, the Democrats need leaders who have sons who play hockey and win the state championship, and who can talk about that". I would have felt even better if the sport in question was football instead of hockey, but that's probably just my Texas upbringing talking.
In any case, Althouse's aesthetic preferences notwithstanding, he's a good choice. And I'm very dubious of the arguments that he'd keep Indiana liberals at home. He's won big in that state for quite some time, and I don't think he did that without Indiana liberals voting for him. If he can deliver Indiana to the Democrats or at least make the GOP spend millions there they'd otherwise spend elsewhere, his spot on the ticket would be more than justified. Unless Indiana liberals are twelve kinds of self-destructive, it's hard to imagine them staying at home with Obama on the top of the ticket if Bayh is the VP candidate. - 8/5/08, 9:19 PM

To Professor Althouse.
Dear Madam,
As the Ghost of a Gentleman, dead these 250 Years and more, I have heard many a Publick Discourse; yet I may tell you, Madam, that you have become for me (tho' long dead) a favourite Rhetor. Who else may please the Eye, as well as the Mind, with such short & perspicacious Performances as to which we may be witness here?
That your Deshabille drop't as your Ardour rose, was a Novelty of Rhetorick, which I confess I had not seen. Your Garment, drap'd as 'twas about your Shoulders, would have answer'd for a Minute-Glass, nearly fall'n away ere you were done. I must tell you I had wish't a few more Moments of Speach to have had the Action compleat; but, even as the best Gestures of of an able Advocate may miscarry in the Moment, so this Conceit advanc'd enough, at least, to charm the Eye, whilst your Wit nourish'd the Intellect.
That an able Orator should use a Bank-Note as a Figure of Speach is another Novelty, not altogether unexpect'd upon this Topick. I should take Exception, however, to your Depiction of Gen. Washington as odd, or, perhaps frightening. 'Tis true, he would cut a strange enough Figure in this Modern Age; yet, to my Eye, he seems a Man, young enough to be the Son I ne'er had, grown old in another Age. His Picture fills me with melancholy Regret, that I had not such an Heir. To me, his Cloaths and Garniture shew him to have carry'd the rakish Dress of the young Dogs of my last Years into a kind of quicksilver'd Sobriety, all black Broadcloth and white Linen, eschewing the foppish & irrational Ornament of my Age.
In short, Madam, I see Gen. Washington as the young & handsome Man he once was, drest in a novel & striking Fashion that I envy and could have hardly known in Life; whilst you see him as an antient & ugly old Figure from a distant Century, whom you can scarce bear to look upon. Such are the Differences of View, engender'd by Degrees, as one grows less entail'd with the Minutiæ of Life upon entering the ghosty State.
I cannot but agree that Mrs. Clinton would have made a better Choice than Mr. Bayh; but, as the Living are entail'd with their Cares, so Mrs. Clinton is entail'd with her Husband. Who else better to 'personate the Cares of Life for Mr. Obama than Mr. Clinton? A very few Years of both Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, and Mr. Obama should be ready to enter either Bedlam or the Spirit World. Should not Mr. Obama then have his Bore, and abjure the Bother?
Mr. Palladian is entirely correct in saying that a smiling Portrait would have been compleatly unknown & unthinkable to any but a Madman paint'd by a Lunatick, or, a drunk'n Dutchman. With the Fashion for smiling Portraits in this Modern Age, you may make of that what you will. There were, as Mr. Palladian points out, some slight Exceptions to indicate the Happiness, or, Satisfaction of the Portrait's Subject. None may be more galling in its Air of smug Satisfaction than this well-known Picture of Sir Robert Walpole, the First to ascend to the Style of Prime Minister of Great Britain. Sir Robert was as corrupt as he was corpulant, as Ev'ryone knew. Look, then, upon this smiling Portrait of the one whose first & well-known Principle was, Ev'ry Man hath his Price, and say to us that the dignified & sober Countenance upon Gen. Washington were too grave.
Gen. Washington twice nam'd his Estate after the honest & popular Admiral Vernon, brought low in the end by Sir Robert; the Admiral being the one Man Sir Robert had known who did not, indeed, have a Price.
I fear I have stray'd again too far from the original Topick, and must beg your Pardon. I do not make an hypocritickal Claim when I assure you that there is no Price to be paid that would cause me to forbear to say,
I am,
Your most humble & obt. Servant,

There have been some comments here about Bayh's record. I have been an Indiana resident for all of Mr. Bayh's political career. Please tell me what he has done. I admit he is not a big spender, for a Democrat. From my point of view his real political strength is his ability to never, ever, make a public comment which might cost him a vote.
- montana urban legend said...
Whatever. A single-precedent is one thing. A double-precedent is something else entirely.
To deny that would be to deny that there are voters who prefer not to vote for a black male and voters who prefer not to vote for a woman on the basis of those considerations alone.
Seems like there's no shortage of people willing to give Obama advice on why he should come that much closer to losing on their behalf.
Of course, if a female candidate, by virtue of her gender alone, adds more votes to the ticket than she loses, then the point is moot. But I really think that this idea that people would vote for Hillary just because of her gender or for Obama just because he's black is overstated. Those considerations will win some points with some voters but lose as many or more with others, especially if they are not a good candidate on top of that - which Hillary Clinton was not, all her Tracy Flick style of "hard work" notwithstanding.
VP nominations are about not much other than balancing out the ticket, i.e. balancing out the presidential nominee's negatives with attributes that offset that. And the choice of Quayle as VP obviously worked for GHWB in 1988. Your commenters' regular servings of boilerplate prove just how "different" and "scary" people either naturally find Obama to be or want to typecast him as. He needs someone who comes across as bland and not precedent-setting to accompany and complement his candidacy. - 8/6/08, 10:37 PM

Sir Archy's off his form with this as well, so I'm not sparing him. He needs to steal more from Addison if he expects us to be amused.
But, please, MUL, your prose is so turgid as to be unreadable, aside from what you may have to say. I think others have assumed you were a troll, because you seem to be annoying on purpose.
I agree with Trooper York that you are not. But you really do need to write shorter sentences, AND to say things with them that are not obvious and ordinary. - 8/6/08, 11:26 PM
- montana urban legend said...
Shut up, losergrrrrrrrrl.
Take your whiny lit crit, style section bullshit to someone who cares. I have never seen you make a substantive criticism or comment whatsoever. Some here may share your love of purple prose. Others understand that good ideas may be worth expressing, despite being "obvious and ordinary" to people too snotty to fully grasp their meaning, let alone admit their relevance. Among those others would include Trooper York. Perhaps you could ask him for advice on interpreting still other things that you continue to dreadfully misread.
And what's your obsession with the word "turgid"? Someone really needs to get laid. Take off the handcuffs every now and then - (the knitting needles are another story) - and let nature take its course. Fully. Do that before you turn your extended adolescence into an eternity of mistaking your lowbrow opinions for something of actual value and your penchant for dressing things up in sophistication for substance.

It's odd, but the writing on your blog is not as bad as the crap you inflict on Althouse readers.
No wonder some think you're a troll. Your intent may not be to troll, but does it matter if the effect is the same?
You know, Rossini famously said he could set a laundry list. It seems you have adopted the same policy in your comments, which are about as interesting.

bhottes necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 199 design presentati da 50 designer.
We required a cleanly designed logo for company that has a culture of developing great swimmers to achieve personal excellence. We offer swim learning and training across all levels of swimming. We tend to develop youngsters into performance swimmers, and we want to convey excellence and prestige, and at the same time we need a brand that is elite and has some strength and toughness.
The Swim Faculty
The Swim Faculty is a company that provides swim learning for all levels of swimmers. We teach everyone from babies and toddlers right through to performance state and national swimmers, and sometimes Paralympic/Olympic swimmers.
Our offering can be summarised as follows
• Learn to Swim – Babies, Toddlers, Pre-school, Adults
• Squad training – Juniors, Seniors, Adults, Triathlon
• Open water swimming
• Handicapped Swimmers
• Performance training techniques – video analysis, dry land training etc.
• Cross training
• Sports Psychology
• Human Movement Measurement and Instrumentation
We have used the term 'faculty' to imply that it's place of quality and progressive learning that builds every day people into either strong swimmers, or performance swimmers that compete in events. We want to help the kids of today become stars of tomorrow.
Our main goal is to create great swimmers.
Although we offer learn to swim, this is only a part of offering, hence our brand should capture mums and dads with learn to swim requirements, but should also have some prestige attached.
We do not offer any 'free-swim' or 'public swimming' at our pool, only swim learning and training.
The word 'The' in 'The Swim faulty' should be kept small in comparison the other two words
We want a symbol as a part of the logo
We are considering a catch phrase, although this is not compulsory. If you have good catch phrase then this will be advantageous.
We are considering the use colours like dark blues and oranges, however this is not compulsory. We'd like you to surprise us here as we are open to ideas.
Please provide artwork in vector format at end of competition.
We don't want an outline/shape of a swimmer with arms moving through the air.
We don't want any animals depicted i.e Sharks, dolphins, fish etc
We don't want anything cheesy and childish.
Logo must not be too complex

Human stem cells capable of giving rise to any fetal or adult cell type are known as pluripotent stem cells. It is hoped that such cells, the most well known being human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), can be used to generate cell populations with therapeutic utility. In this context, neural derivatives of hESCs are being tested in clinical trials.
However, Natalie Lefort and colleagues, at the Institute for Stem cell Therapy and Exploration of Monogenic diseases, France, have now generated cautionary data that suggest that additional quality controls need to be put in place to ensure that neural derivatives of human pluripotent stem cells are not genomically unstable, a common characteristic of cancer cells.
The research appears in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The key observation of Lefort and colleagues was that neural derivatives of human pluripotent stem cells frequently acquire extra material from chromosome 1q. Worryingly, this chromosomal defect has been associated with some blood cell cancers and pediatric brain tumors with poor clinical outcome, although Lefort and colleagues found that the abnormal neural cells they detected were unable to form tumors in mice.
As noted by Neil Harrison, at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, in an accompanying commentary, while the data raise safety issues relevant for the therapeutic use of these cells, the fact that the same chromosome was affected in all cases suggests that it should be possible to design screening strategies to detect and remove these cells.

This is still an issue with jQuery 1.0.3. When loading jQuery in a LiveJournal page, the error is generated.
The backtrace according to FireBug:
name.replace is not a function jquery.js (line 725) anonymous jquery.js (line 725) anonymous jquery.js (line 122) anonymous jquery.js (line 355) anonymous jquery.js (line 95) anonymous jquery.js (line 108) anonymous jquery.js (line 339) null jquery.js (line 1192)
I'm guessing this is a bad interaction between LiveJournal's "core.js" which looks very Prototype-ish and jQuery.
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by dossy@…
- Summary changed from "name.replace is not a function" in 1.0.2 to "name.replace is not a function" in 1.0.3
I have a feeling this might be the culprit (in http://www.livejournal.com/js/core.js), but I'm only guessing:
219 Object.prototype.extend( { 220 init: Function.stub, 221 destroy: Function.stub 222 } );
Could that be interfering with jQuery.init()? Specifically, I notice that jQuery.click(), jQuery.hover(), jQuery.focus() and jQuery.blur() aren't functions any more, but jQuery.bind('{click,hover,focus,blur}', function) work as expected.

Shame on Six Apart. Nobody is allowed to extend Object.prototype. They are adding four methods: init, destroy, extend, and override. Take that code and shoot it!

It's nice to have compability with other's code, but this is a topic where we can't accound for bad coding style. Just as Mike proposed: Take and shoot it.
comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by anonymous
Sorry it this is of no help.... but I'll add it as it may help someone, somwhere.
I had the '.replace is not a function' error, and looked everywhere for a solution. But found none... After messing around for a while I found the solution.
My original code was:
var p = s.replace(/:/, '-');
it failed.
I changed it to:
s = s + ""; var p = s.replace(/:/, '-');
It appears the problem was 's' was not of type string, so JS assumed it must be a function call (but cannot find a function with that reference).
Perhaps this is related to this bug.... who knows!!
comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by shehriyari
So, even today when we are using jQuery v1.5, this problem still persists. Extending Object.prototype even from outside breaks it:
/** * Object.isEmpty() * * @returns {Boolean} */ Object.prototype.isEmpty = function () { /** * @deprecated Since Javascript 1.8.5 * @see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object */ if ( this.__count__ !== undefined ) { return this.__count__ === 0 ? true : false; } /* Less-aesthetic method, if above method fails */ for ( var property in this ) { if ( this.hasOwnProperty(property) ) { return false; } } return true; };
I am getting "c.replace is not a function" error :( . Can someone tell me why extending Object.prototype is bad coding, please?

Water trial still scheduled
Posted: Friday, Oct 5th, 2012
Courier editor
ALAMOSA — A water trial set for the end of the month is still on, but it may be shorter than originally scheduled.
Chief District Judge Pattie Swift on Thursday decided some of the pending motions in the water cases involving the San Luis Valley's first water management sub-district operating plan and the state's approval of it. She scheduled another hearing for October 24 to deal with more of the pending motions and is still planning to go forward with the scheduled October 29th trial to hear evidence and testimony.
This is the first year of operation for the Rio Grande Water Conservation District sponsored sub-district that involves hundreds of irrigators in the Valley's closed basin area north of the Rio Grande. The sub-district was designed to repair injuries to senior surface water rights and replenish the Valley's aquifers, and to that end the sub-district board developed an annual replacement plan for this year.
Objectors asked the court to invoke retained jurisdiction over the sub-district and deal with concerns they have over its first annual replacement plan. Judge Swift earlier this summer denied a motion from objectors that would have shut down wells in the sub-district until concerns over the operating plan were resolved.
Given that decision by the court, the objectors recently filed a motion to amend their invocation to retain jurisdiction and asked the judge to vacate the trial. Sub-district supporters and the state engineer's office asked the judge to make an immediate decision on these motions and argued in favor of going forward with the trial.
Since the trial is scheduled for the end of this month, Judge Swift agreed to make a quick decision.
"The objectors seek to amend their claims, to remove them from consideration of the court and vacate the trial because they believe the primary issues remaining to be determined are contained within the amended motion before the court," Judge Swift summed up the situation Thursday afternoon in court.
She said there are two motions for summary judgment: 1) concerning augmentation plan wells; and 2) concerning the Closed Basin Project.
Two other motions are also outstanding: 1) to strike expert witness designations and reports; and 2) to appoint a special master.
Objectors have also asked the court to compel disclosure.
Objectors have asked to vacate the trial because they believe the outstanding motions can be addressed without evidence presented at trial, Swift recapped.
She said the sub-district supporters have paid expert witnesses and have paid their attorneys to prepare for the trial and are prepared to go forward, "and they would like to see some of these matters decided with some finality."
If the objectors are allowed to withdraw their claims without prejudice, they could file them again next year and the supporters and the state would again have to spend money on preparing for trial, Swift said.
Swift said that since the supporters and state had incurred expenses in preparing for this trial, which was scheduled in response to objectors seeking invocation of retained jurisdiction, it would only be fair to allow the objectors to withdraw their claims if: 1) the claims not specific to the 2012 operating plan the court would allow to be dismissed with prejudice or in the alternative the objectors would pay reasonable attorney fees and costs the state and supporters incurred in preparing to defend the 2012 plan at trial; and 2) claims specific to the 2012 plan, such as concerns over calculations used to develop this year's plan, may be withdrawn without the payment of attorney fees for the other side because they cannot be raised again.
"Objectors need to decide which motions they want to withdraw and under what terms," Judge Swift said. She gave objectors until the end of October 9 to submit that to her.
She added she would set a hearing regarding attorney fees and costs to be reimbursed, if necessary.
Also on Thursday, Judge Swift ruled on the objectors' motion opposing the use of Closed Basin Project water for replacement water for the sub-district. She denied the objectors' motion, "as I find there are disputed issues of material fact that must be determined to decide whether the Closed Basin Project water is adequate and suitable to prevent injuries to senior water rights under the district plan."
The judge outlined objectors' concerns with Closed Basin Project water being used to replace injurious depletions to senior water rights, with the objectors arguing that the 1963 Closed Basin Project itself represented a junior water right that in the priority system of water administration was causing injury to senior water rights so could not be used to replace injurious depletions in the sub-district.
Swift said the objectors are arguing, "it's a shell game," "robbing Peter to pay Paul."
Swift also summarized the supporters' argument that the Closed Basin Project, designed as a salvage water project, provided "found water" that never would have reached the Rio Grande or its tributaries so was available for appropriation in 1963.
"I agree with the state and the supporters on this argument. That is why I am denying the motion for summary judgment," Swift said.
However, she said if the Closed Basin Project is not having the effect of replacing injurious depletions it might not be a suitable water source for those depletions. She said she could only decide that after hearing evidence.
The judge added that given she denied the motion for summary judgment on the Closed Basin Project, there is a need for a trial on October 29, though it may not be as involved as it was when it was originally scheduled.
Regarding the motion for summary judgment on augmentation wells, Judge Swift said she is still working on her decision and would rule on that motion before trial.
Judge Swift said she would delay acting on the special master motion until after the trial but would decide the expert witness and discovery motions beforehand and set a full day aside, if necessary, on October 24 to hear arguments. She said she would decide at that time or shortly afterwards.
Also on Thursday the judge asked attorneys from both sides to give her some guidance by Friday, Oct. 19 on how they believed the retained jurisdiction process should work. She said she saw the court's primary functions in its retained jurisdiction over the sub-district as reviewing: 1) whether the plan of water management is operated in conformance with the terms of the court's decree; and 2) whether injury is prevented in conformity with the court's decree.

Andy & Ashley - Chapter 1

Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Fri 22nd of March 2013
Andy discovers a different kind of attraction towards his sister.
Chapter 1
It's probably better that I start this story with an introduction, my name is Andy and I'm 17. I've never had a girlfriend and I'm known at school for being a bit of a nerd. My sister Ashley is 16, and has had several boyfriends. She's the popular girl at school.
I looked out the window, my sister and her boyfriend John were standing there out the front of the house on our driveway holding hands and talking quietly. I didn't know what she saw in him, he was just another dumb jock. I heard our parents walking towards the front of the house, the door swung open and Ashley was called inside. She leaned in and kissed John on the cheek gently, then released his hand and walked back inside the house; I heard the door close and walked away from the window.
"Why am I the only one who can never get someone?" I thought to myself, Ashley was 16, a year younger than me and still managed to get more boyfriends than I could girlfriends. I was well-built but nobody ever seemed to notice me, it seemed ridiculous. I walked down the corridor and down the stairs towards where Ashley and my parents were having dinner. I took a seat at the table and hardly ate anything; I was too busy concentrating on why I never had a girlfriend.
'What's up Andy?' asked Ashley. 'Oh nothing' I replied, suddenly taking it what she was wearing, a skin-tight low-cut top and jeans that fit perfectly to her legs, I looked upwards towards her face and saw her deep, sexy blue eyes staring at me. I immediately felt something stirring between my legs and realised I was slowly getting hard. "What the fuck, this is your own sister, you creep." I thought. She was hot though and I had to get rid of this erection, fast, before someone noticed. I snuck a hand underneath the table and played with the light fabric of my boxers to try and move my erection out of the way, it was no use, and I was going to have to move quickly.
'I'm getting a drink of water' I exclaimed as I stood up, holding my empty glass in front of my crotch. As I stood up from the table and pushed my chair back, I was sure a faint smile flickered across my sister's face. "Did she know I was hard?" I wondered to myself. I moved away from the table too quickly trying to hide my erection and dropped the glass, it shattered. I swore quietly under my breath and my dad got up from the table and walked around to help me gather together the bits of the glass. My erection vanished, instantly in fear of being caught by my parents.
I helped my dad gather up the bits of glass from the floor, and then went into the kitchen to get the broom. I came back and swept the glass up and placed it in the bin, I got another glass and filled it with water, sitting back down at the table I prayed this meal would be over soon. Luckily it was, I got up from the table, carried my plate to the kitchen and put it into the dishwasher. As I finished I saw my sister come into the kitchen, I started to notice just how sexy her eyes were again and instantly my erection returned. A smile flickered across her face again for a split second; I was again bewildered and left the kitchen as fast as possible.
I ran up the stairs towards my room, going up two steps at a time, I was rock hard and horny as anything. I reached the top of the stairs and turned the corner into my room. I shut the door tight and pulled the lock across, thank God my parents let me have a lock, and this could be so awkward without it. I sat down on the end of my bed and slowly eased my jeans down around my ankles, I admired the tent my erection made in my boxers and slowly pulled them down. My rock hard penis popped upwards. I was by no means small, I had a nice 7 and ½ inch long penis, with a nice thick girth to it. I shut my eyes, wrapped my hand around my penis, imagined my sister's tits again and started to stroke my penis furiously. It felt so good and so naughty; I was going to cum quickly. I lay back on the bed as my orgasm approached, I let out a quiet moan and shot thick strings of cum high into the air, they landed with a squelch onto my carpet. I fell back onto the bed, exhausted.
I woke up with a jolt; I was lying naked from the waist down on my bed. "How did I get here?" I thought to myself, and then I noticed cum stains on my carpet. Oh yeah, I remember now, I jacked off over my sister and then fell asleep, probably the worst thing I've ever done. Yet, I wanted more, much more.
I sat up on the bed and slowly pulled my boxers back up; I stood up and pulled up my jeans. Leaning down, I mopped up some of the cum stains off my carpet with some tissues from my desk. "My mum would go mad if she found that." I thought to myself. I put the tissues in the bin and unlocked my door, I crept across the corridor and peered into my sister's room, it was empty. I sneaked inside and walked over to her underwear drawer. What I was about to do was so wrong, yet I wanted it so badly. I pulled the drawer open and rifled through the drawer aiming to select the sexiest pair of underwear I could find.
I moved a pile of underwear aside and to my horror, underneath I found several condoms. My mouth fell open. "Was my sister fucking John? How many other boys had she had sex with?" I wondered. I'd always assumed that my sister was a 'good girl' not going any further than holding hands and kissing, now it seemed, I was wrong.
I'd never seen a condom before out of the packet, so out of curiosity I took two from the drawer, along with a pair of sexy underwear and put the rest back on top, hiding the rest of the condoms. I slid the drawer shut and looked around the room, nothing else looked suspicious so I walked towards the door and pulled it closed. I checked nobody was in the corridor before darting back across the corridor to my room and shutting and locking the door. I sat down on my bed and gently opened one of the condoms; it was such a strange shape I was almost amused by it. I pulled off me jeans and boxers and once again I was hard in second
I held Ashley's panties in my hand and sniffed them, it was amazing even her clean underwear smelt sexy. I rolled the condom down over my erect penis with my other hand and started to jack off. The feeling was amazing, I don't know if it was the extra lubrication of the condom or the sexy smell of Ashley's underwear or just because the whole thing was so naughty. I didn't care, it was hot and I was really turned on. I started moaning quietly and slowly built up towards and orgasm, I was so close. I exploded inside the condom, grunting as I did so.
I lay back on the bed and collapsed, again exhausted and about to fall asleep.
I apologise for this being deleted before, however the issues with grammar have now been fixed... Chapter 2 is being written as I post this!

way to rushed and very poorly written. WHERES THE BACKGROUND AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? WHERES THE PLOT? you just jump right in put the pedal to the metal fly off. slow down and build things up realisticly. you need to write like the readers don't know anything about you or about sex you need to explain everything, we don't know what is going on in your head you need to tell us. DELETE AND RWRITE AGAIN BUT DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME.
