That's a good one but they don't have stamps anymore his picture and logo would have to be on a cash card. I'd say have an Obama foa shaped like his ear.
You just *know* his face is going to end up on a bill. His ego knows no limits.
Should be a 25-cent coupon, he's not worth a dollar!!
I'd buy that for a dollar!
#3: Look closer, TimO, there appears to be the word "TRILLION" under the one.
Caged Insanity, I'm thinking his name is going on the new Ford-class aircraft carrier instead of John F. Kennedy's.
The only thing worthy of his name is a raw sewage storage container.
You forgot the pinky finger at the corner of his mouf.
Or it could be a big ol chocolate coin. . .
You have to be shitting me.
I still am saying you're shititng me.
Does "shitting" have one "t", or two"t"'s? Nevermind. … I think I just pooped myself. Thanks a lot.
The last fucking "Caesar" before the fucking Mongols landed in Kalifornicateya. They trashed the State when they found all the marijuana fields. Later, they apologized for thinking they were in Mexico! Almost all of them were shot dead when they attempted to penetrate past the highway stop into Arizona…….just prior to Yuma……………..{they were carrying fruits and vegetables in their saddle packs…..}
That forced me to grin.
Thank you
Possibly a used piece of toilet paper would be worthy.
Or maybe a diaper fetish 'Lympian small pianist blog.
The LOTT purple pipe used sewage water distribution system?
Oh, wait, the universal designation of that is already a purple triangle.
Well, maybe the "treated" sewage outlet into the bay, then.
i refuse to "honor" the most disgusting, fraudulent, Anti American, pro Muslim, ant Christian POS President ever.
Now I gotta go and drop Biden off at the porcelain pool. He needs a swim.
Here in the conservative heart of Virginia, we're going to name our outhouse after him. You won't see the sign until you lift the toilet seat lid.
Got a urinal trough (one of those long galvanized things) at the county fairgrounds named after him too.
If you will notice all those other gentelmen have one thing in common. They are deceased. Is not that a requirement? Hey start the presses!
#14 that's a good idea for our out house at the camp in the woods. I think better we put the picture at the bottom of the hole.
I like to think of myself as God's Own Test Dummy.
It might be painful at times, but hey, it pays the bills.
Now they ain`t gonna make no trillion dollar coin………….but we are still screwed…………
If Obama is going to have his face on money, it shoud be a three-dollar bill.
Sorry, but Lincoln was anything but honorable. He was a scheming, corrupt politician who viewed the entirety of the south as "runaway slaves". Forced all future generations back to the plantation at gunpoint. (In fact, Lincoln and the 10th Amendment comprise my litmus test for history textbooks. I look to the index, and then take a quick read on how each topic is presented.)
Obama's face belongs on the welfare card and the trillion-dollar disneyland token his economic wizards keep blathering on about. THAT is his legacy. Dependency and bankruptcy.
It's interesting to hear opinions that don't give Lincoln a complete blow job.

Post Peak Oil Global Awakening. Social Media on ubiquitous internet and suddenly there is a global human awakening against neocolonialist governments of the a fading US hegemony.
Most of humanity is now informationally activated, socially conscious and politically interactive. There are only small pockets of humanity in the remotest corners of the globe that are not aware of the socio-political strife so ubiquitous in the world today.
We live in an cyberpunk age in which mankind is developing a Hive consciousness to an unprecedented degree, and it is this condition which is fostering international turmoil.
That turmoil is from political awakening- vast masses of the world are no longer politically neutered, as they have been throughout much of recorded history.
When the People become Hive Mind, they are a powerful global force indeed.

I am 100% IN for the veichles!
I want them all!
Mattel vehicles, Filmation vehicles and MORE!
It would depend on the item, but YES I would pre-order at least one of something.
There are several items I am still wanting.
A BIG YES from me. Bring them on and I'll buy them all in multiples, where do I sign?
Bring on the Battle Ram!
I am not interested if it is like the Superboy/Martian preorder where you have to pay for the figures in advance.
The only bad part in this is if it hasn't been sculpted they dont know how much it will cost to make the vehicle. Other than the Battle-Ram I don't think a pre-order will work also I would guess that the pre-order price would have to be high enough so Mattel could break even if a pre-order fell through.
Yes I would buy all subs of the classic vehicles.
Yes!! Bring on the vehicles :hmgrin:
Count me in. I'd be even more likely to purchase multiple vehicles in this manner, too.
For me is Roton and Land Shark!
I'd buy them only on day of.
Pre-Orders FTW!
I'm very much looking forward to Point Dread & the Talon Fighter, as well as the Battle Ram and some Sky Sleds and would give serious consideration to many of the others.
I'm for vehicles, any day in any way! Pre-order, sub, day of sales, whatever! :skgrin:
Vintage vehicles can also keep vintage fans into the line, there still is so much left to be released.
Yes I want more vehicles... at least 3 more
I have very little to no room for vehicles, but if they release such as a Filmation Attack Track, BattleRam, Point Dread, or a Horde Hover Sled, and especially The Collector, than I would be in. But not the 200x stuff as I did not care for any of them or the NA stuff.
Yes, I'm interested. Now that the Wind Raider has been released, there will always feel like there's something missing without the Battle Ram.
I would agree to a price range, like $50 - $100. I would have paid $80 for Wind Raider, since he made it so cheap, I bought two. I trust Scott in keeping it as low as he can, so if he gave me the range I said above and it came out to be $75 for The Collector, I would be fine with that, if he made it $50, then I would buy 2. Of course The Collector should be massive so $75 is fine.:hmgrin: Granamyr is massive, and to think they scaled him down, makes me wish they did not, I would have paid $100 and made room for him some how some where.:hmgrin:
Battle ram I'd be down for 3
Today's answers from Mattycollector are not going in our favor for Battle Ram pre-orders--guys, seriously, how can we make this happen?! We have to come up with SOME way to do this (other than buying ALL of the available stock of Wind Raider!)
I think by know they know it's based on size and amount of tooling needed, so (as a very basic example) lets say the battle ram comes in 4 piexes, the back the sky sled and the wheels, so each half (right and left) is a mold and they could fir four wheels on a mold, so they cost out based on size and pieces needed. prior to sculpting they should theoretically break down the drawing into what needs to be done and go by costs based on previous toys.
I'm up for this.
They should just charge $15 MORE than what they think it will cost and base the pre-orders on that!! I'm sure most folk who want these vehicles are willing pay whatever it takes.
I think a preorder system for vehicles and playsets is the way to go. I'd buy them all.

5 Real-Life Companies Cashing In on 'Downton Abbey'
What do velvet pant suits, bootleg jewelry, and Edwardian chick-lit have in common? The good name of Downton.
Realism, it ain't. In the world of Downton Abbey, war is a weekend sport and young ladies can kill Turkish diplomats with sex. The characters, when not in the midst of a pause, race through history and the corridors of Highclere Castle with breath-taking speed and dramatic flair. Some people swear by the show, calling it "compulsively watchable"; others ridicule its stylized dramatics and jump-the-shark antics, but you'll be hard pressed to find a person who can't hum the theme song.
Downton Abbey premiered on Great Britain's ITV (ITV.LN) on September 26, 2010. It quickly gained a steady following (the first episode alone drew over 9 million viewers) and a 32% audience share. On January 9, 2011, PBS aired the show in the United States, and the Downton craze spread like wildfire. The second season, which aired on PBS this past January and February, consistently doubled PBS' prime-time rating, according to the New York Times. To date, over 100 countries have subsidized the television series, and Guinness World Records reports that the show is "the most critically acclaimed English-language television show" of all time.
Opportunity? Rather. The following five corporations have taken the name (with or without permission) and made it their own.
1. Ralph Lauren
Fashion retailer Ralph Lauren (RL) released a new clothing line in February inspired by Downton Abbey that the New York Times labeled "one of his best collections." And while the New York Times revels in the designer's daring, I can't help but admire the financial prowess. The company has tapped into Downton Abbey's main draw, the illusion of luxury, and made it accessible to a world in economic turmoil. As a company, Ralph Lauren couldn't be in better shape -- it reported a 20% increase in sales this year and a $169 million profit in its third quarter.
Ralph Lauren is not the first designer to market a television-inspired clothing line. In July 2010, Banana Republic released its Mad Men collection to high acclaim. Parent company Gap, Inc. (GPS) reported disappointing growth numbers in 2011. But the fact that it's releasing a second Mad Men line this spring signifies that television-based fashion is a marketing ploy the company found well worth the investment, and we'll probably see various vestiges of it in the future.
Let's just hope the next smash costume drama isn't medieval.
2. MacMillan Publishers
A quick search for the phrase "Downton Abbey" on the MacMillan Publishers website will reveal the company's new marketing scheme: Slap "Downton Abbey" on it! The publisher has so far renamed memoirs by Margaret Powell (the first edition published in 1968 inspired BBC soap opera Upstairs, Downstairs) to incorporate the smash show; the new title is Below Stairs: The Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir That Inspired "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Downton Abbey." You'll also find novels by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes himself, and a picture book by his wife. Considering that both Below Stairs and Mrs. Fellowes' The World of Downton Abbey are New York Times best-sellers, it's no surprise the publishing house started advertising its modest collection of period novels as a "tonic" to Downton Abbey withdrawal.
Random House has also jumped on the Downton bandwagon by releasing Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey, and over 50,000 copies have been sold in paperback, according to Random House sources. The book has been on the New York Times best-seller list for four consecutive weeks since its debut in early February.
While airing the high-budget British series is a pretty shrewd way to take on high-concept television provided by the likes of Time Warner Cable (TWC) and Comcast (CMCSA), PBS' poor attempt to cash in on Downton Abbey in other ways resulted in little gain and no small humiliation.
In January, ShopPBS.com debuted a line of accessories it called "The Downton Abbey Collection." It included jewelry with names such as "The Lady Mary knotted pearl necklace and earring set." Unfortunately for PBS, it forgot to ask permission first. Co-producer Carnival Films was quick to remind the network about those pesky trademark laws, and PBS even more swiftly removed the line from its website. According to the Daily Mail, profits were not returned to the producers nor the creator, although PBS has issued a public apology to all involved.
Eyeing PBS' success with Downton, ABC (DIS) hopes Julian Fellowes can make similar magic for its network with a somewhat shorter format. The Downton Abbey author and creator will be revamping his caste-conscious formula into a mini-series about the Titanic. The four-part television show will examine the last days of the ship as experienced by the various classes on board.
It will be a well-suited marriage. Fellowes won an Emmy in 2011 (not to mention a slew of other awards) for his work with Downton Abbey, and ABC begins 2012 on a high note: The network won the highest ratings in broadcast television, according to Nielson TV Ratings. On week 23 of the season, which ended Sunday, February 26, ABC averaged 10.697 million adult viewers.
The premiere of the Downton-ish Titanic will air on April 14 and conclude on the 100-year anniversary of the ship's fatal date with an iceberg, April 15. The cast includes actors from hits like Harry Potter and Bridget Jones' Diary, but it's Fellowes who is getting the press. A writer is outshining actors, which means that hell has officially frozen over. Such is the marketability of Downton Abbey.
The largest commercial television in the United Kingdom, ITV (ITV.LN) is experiencing an extraordinary recovery from a post-recession slump due mainly to its boost in advertising. On February 29, ITV shares increased by a whopping 8% when the company reported that earnings were up 13%. This is a big turnaround for ITV: in 2009 it lost millions of pounds in advertising revenue; this year it reported a 10% increase in sales.
What is ITV selling? Downton time. Because Downton Abbey is not produced by ITV studios (Carnival Films in the UK and WGBH Boston are co-producers) advertising is ITV's main source of Downton revenue. It's a hot commodity. In 2012, an average of 8.4 million viewers tuned in to view Downton Abbey on ITV, twice the viewers for the leading competition, BBC One's series Spooks, which airs in the same time slot.
But ITV might need to be more creative in 2013 because viewers in the UK have taken note of what they deem excessive advertisement. The 90-minute show breaks five times to broadcast the maximum permissible amount of advertisement time; 12 minutes per hour. Perhaps it could team up with Fellowes and write in Lord Grantham enjoying a nice, refreshing Coca-Cola?

The Strip has a sly, drolly impious way with notions of authenticity. At the opposite end from Ava, there's Martin (Patrick O'Kane) a muscle- bound gay fitness freak who, in his weird extremities of macho preening, is just a parodic inversion of the old sissy stereotype, who fails to see the irony of a calling a female friend a "poof" for not being able to lift weights. In one of the play's funniest sequences he meets up with a white supremacist meathead from Virginia (excellent Nicholas Farrell) who has wandered unwittingly into an Earls Court gay leather pub. Thinking he's in the sort of American bar "where a fella can hook up with his buddies, take a break from the missus and the kids", he enables Nagy to suggest some mischievous comparisons and contrasts between these two seemingly disparate kinds of men-only society.
All of which makes The Strip sound a good deal easier to follow than it is. In fact, from the play's opening image, you sense that your comprehension will remain blundering in the wake of Steven Pimlott's vibrantly acted production. As the far-flung and madly assorted personnel disport themselves in surreal proximity to each other on Tobias Hoheisel's bright, split- level set, it puts you in panicky mind of that "On and on and on and on with Ariston" advert. A sphinx dominates the right-hand of the stage: not the genuine article but the mock-up at the Hotel Luxor, Las Vegas. The play has more overlapping strands than an Altman movie, but it's at this gambling mecca that, at the time of solar eclipse, the various groups eventually converge.
The interconnected destinies of (among others) a Southern right-winger on the run in London for blowing up 27 black Baptist ministers, Loretta, his archly forward wife (a brilliant Cheryl Campbell), an obsessive lesbian journalist and a gay pawnbroker, are presided over by the svelte, sphinx- like Otto Mink (Nicholas le Prevost). Reminding you of the Duke in Measure for Measure, he tries to control the coincidence-ridden fates of these people in the interests of his forlorn, insufficiently dramatised love for white trash Loretta. But, again like the Duke, his plot keeps getting derailed. Indeed, at the close, with the fruit-machines debouching a symbolically endless jackpot in Las Vegas, the play seems to turn into a qualified celebration of the randomness Mink has tried to minimise.
The Strip could show us more of this character, who comes across as only theoretically central in the work as it stands, and Pimlott's production of a restless piece could offer more clues as to where we are at any given point. But one place we certainly are is in the presence of a distinctive and growing talent.

Sorry for > me being dense :) Yes, you are right about confusing "release" word. Let's forget about it and start from the beginning. My point is that we should give clear message to a newbie that the project consists of independent parts and we should provide the newbie with a shortest path to a part where the newbie want to contribute. For example, 3 steps: Apache Harmony Home page ->Getting Started For Contributors page -> Component's homepage The path shouldn't lead to nowhere, like saying: go to the dev-mail archive or JIRA and search for [classlib][<module name>]. The path to a component should end with component's status info – ideally it should give the newbie enough info not to search though harmony-dev mail archive or JIRA at all. At minimum the path should lead the newbie to the component's wiki page. Yes, wiki pages are good but I think we need more. What the component's home page should contain? From my point of view it should contain the following: 1) Doc: just brief overview and pointers to spec., docs, user's guides 2) Work with the component: how to build, deploy with Harmony JRE (or another JRE if possible) and run with apps. 3) Status: in progress, no activity or done (that I mean by saying "released", sorry for confusion) 4) Open issues: info from JIRA (we can fetch issues related only to the component from JIRA) 5) Mailing list: I think we should let the newbie to be aware only about exact part of the project. 6) Wiki page For example, the newbie may be interesting in contributing to BEANS and don't want to receive tons of messages about VM. We may let message pass from component's mailing list to common mailing list. (Even more we may add required prefix to subject automatically, for example, "problems with Introspector" => "[classlib][beans] problems with Introspector") Does this make sense? > > > > > > >> I think we need to continue to focus on our primary goal, java SE. > >> I've also been concerned about having "subprojects" that are too > >> independent, creating sub-communities.

Yes, I understood you point. I don't suggest delivering some framework or a tool and announcing it as "piece of JAVA". IANAL, I just wonder if we can suggest a user to try the following testing scenario: take some module's jar, for example, sql.jar and try an app that depends on SQL API with JRE that she/he usually uses.

Saudi Arabia is home to less than half a percent of the world's population — and fully 16 percent of the world's proven oil reserves. Nonetheless, Citigroup projects that the desert nation may become an oil importer in the next 20 years. "If Saudi Arabian oil consumption grows in line with peak power demand, the country could be a net oil importer by 2030," Heidy Rehman wrote in a 150 page report for the bank.
Already Saudi Arabia uses a quarter of its fuel production and all of its natural gas domestically, meaning that its per capita consumption is higher than the United States despite its miniscule industrial base. Demand for electricity, moreover, is expected to grow by as much as 8 percent a year.
The Telegraph has more:
The basic point — common to other Gulf oil producers — is that Saudi local consumption is rocketing. Residential use makes up 50 percent of demand, and over two thirds of that is air-conditioning.
The Saudis also consume 250 litres per head per day of water — the world's third highest (which blows the mind), growing at nine percent a year — and most of this is provided from energy-guzzling desalination plants.
Analysts including Jeremy Leggett of the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security have suggested that dwindling Saudi Arabian exports could contribute to a global fuel shortage, potentially causing "massive stress to the global economy."
Rehman's report comes less than six months after another Citi report, which predicted an era of oil abundance — and of reduced American dependence on OPEC:
[T]he US has become the fastest growing oil and natural gas producing area of the world and is now the most important marginal source for oil and gas globally. Add to this steadily growing Canadian production and a comeback in Mexican production and you get to a higher growth rate than all of OPEC can sustain.
Either way, Saudi Arabia's share of global exports is on the wane, so the United States had better stop treating it as a de facto Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Exotic Animal Laws Vary from State to State
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) -- Incidents involving exotic animals kept in private may appear to be an oddity but, according to Born Free USA, a national animal advocacy and wildlife organization, they are not rare.
In fact, this week's incident in Ohio could be a cautionary tale for states across the country.
"It's up to the states to pass strong laws prohibiting the citizens that live there from keeping these dangerous exotics," said Adam Roberts, executive vice president of Born Free USA. "Ohio is one of the bad actors as far as we're concerned -- a state that has very limited regulations on the keeping of exotic animals, especially as pets....We've been pushing in Ohio for them to change their law for many years."
Some states are playing catch-up as exotic animals have become more prevalent, said David Favre, a professor of animal law at Michigan State University.
"The animals are becoming more available -- Internet sales, auctions, things like that," he said. "The market for exotic animals has been growing and with that, of course, comes the damage as well."
Born Free USA estimated that there are more tigers in private hands, not including accredited zoos, in the U.S. than there are left in the wild in the entire world.
"The ease of access to these animals is astounding and, of course, they are reasonably affordable," Roberts told ABC News. "Some of the animals could go for a few hundred dollars, some for a few thousand, but I think there are probably purebred dogs that cost more from some places than a tiger in this country."
Since 1990, Born Free USA said, there have been more than 1,500 incidents involving exotic animals and at least five percent of those have taken place in Ohio.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland banned people from bringing more exotic animals into Ohio in January but allowed owners to keep the animals they already had.
Current Gov. John Kasich let the emergency ban expire in April and opted to convene a group to study the issue.
"Around the country, you have a patchwork of state laws where about 21 states have some sort of prohibition on the keeping of exotic animals as pets," Roberts said. "Eight states have a partial ban, where certain species are prohibited, but not others. Thirteen states require permitting or a license scheme, and the other eight states have little or no regulations whatsoever. And Ohio is in the bottom category."
Despite the disparity in regulation, Favre said, the responsibility to control the animals lies with the states, not the federal government.
"It clearly is a primarily state issue," Favre said. "And it's so easily handled at the state level with the simple passage of a one-page law that says you're prohibited from having large mammals."

William Hope Hodgson's career as a writer of supernatural horror ended in the mundane horror of the Great War. In the preceding eleven years he had produced an oeuvre about which H. P. Lovecraft commented, in his essay Supernatural Horror in Literature:
Of rather uneven stylistic quality, but vast occasional power in its suggestion of lurking worlds and beings behind the ordinary surface of life, is the work of William Hope Hodgson, known today far less than it deserves to be. Despite a tendency toward conventionally sentimental conceptions of the universe, and of man's relation to it and to his fellows, Mr. Hodgson is perhaps second only to Algernon Blackwood in his serious treatment of unreality. Few can equal him in adumbrating the nearness of nameless forces and monstrous besieging entities through casual hints and insignificant details, or in conveying feelings of the spectral and the abnormal in connection with regions or buildings.
There, quite concisely, is a clue to what you'll encounter if you dip into Hodgson's books—although it's best to be careful what you start with, especially if you're not enamored of Edwardian prose. I recommend Carnacki the Ghost Finder, a collection originally serialized in The Idler. You could also call it "Ripping Ghost Stories" for the enthusiasm and purple-tinged prose. It's a quick read. But I guarantee that, with Carnacki, you will encounter things that you will never forget. When Hodgson is good, he's unbeatable.
The world in which Carnacki plies his trade as a ghost hunter and debunker (for some of the hauntings are hoaxes, for profit or revenge) shares with Lovecraft's the "suggestion of lurking worlds and beings behind the ordinary surface of life." But Lovecraft's horror is that of the completely other, so alien that it is virtually impossible for matter to mediate it in any way a human being can comprehend. Hodgson's other, alien as it is, manifests in more comprehensible ways; in the case of The Whistling Room, as a kind of "spiritual fungus" rotting a human soul, of which nothing remains but the desire for revenge. Or, in The Hog, another story in the collection, as the grunting of pigs, which Hodgson transforms into an unforgettable evocation of bestial malevolence that recalls, in its mindlessness, the horrid emptiness of the possessed physicist Weston in C.S. Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet.
But for me, at least, that the horror is less alien in no way diminishes its power. More problematic for many readers, I suspect, might be the cumulative nature of the narrative. The horror manifests itself less in a pounding pulse than in the persistent and growing strength of the images after you lay the story down. In this sense, Hodgson brings to mind the gourmet Brillat-Savarin's distinction between eating and enjoying one's dinner. I last read Carnacki perhaps 20 years ago, but enjoyed it for years afterwards when something would evoke a vivid image from it. So when the call went out for Halloween posts, it was the first book I thought of.
But, as I said, his prose may not be to your taste. Here's a sample, from The Whistling Room. Carnacki was investigating a haunting that manifested as a whistling, and is relating to his friend what happened when he first entered the room that is the focus of the manifestation.
"When I reached the door, and put my hand into my pocket for the key, I had a sudden feeling of sickening funk. But I was not going to back out, if I could help it. I unlocked the door and turned the handle. Then I gave the door a sharp push with my foot, as Tassoc had done, and drew my revolver, though I did not expect to have any use for it, really.
"I shone the searchlight all round the room, and then stepped inside, with a disgustingly horrible feeling of walking slap into a waiting Danger. I stood a few seconds, waiting, and nothing happened, and the empty room showed bare from corner to corner. And then, you know, I realised that the room was full of an abominable silence; can you understand that? A sort of purposeful silence, just as sickening as any of the filthy noises the Things have power to make. Do you remember what I told you about that 'Silent Garden' business? Well, this room had just that same malevolent silence—the beastly quietness of a thing that is looking at you and not seeable itself, and thinks that it has got you. Oh, I recognised it instantly, and I whipped the top off my lantern, so as to have light over the whole room.
"Then I set-to, working like fury, and keeping my glance all about me. I sealed the two windows with lengths of human hair, right across, and sealed them at every frame. As I worked, a queer, scarcely perceptible tenseness stole into the air of the place, and the silence seemed, if you can understand me, to grow more solid. I knew then that I had no business there without 'full protection'; for I was practically certain that this was no mere Aeiirii development; but one of the worst forms, as the Saiitii; like that 'Grunting Man' case—you know.
"I finished the window, and hurried over to the great fireplace. This is a huge affair, and has a queer gallows-iron, I think they are called, projecting from the back of the arch. I sealed the opening with seven human hairs—the seventh crossing the six others.
"Then, just as I was making an end, a low, mocking whistle grew in the room. A cold, nervous pricking went up my spine, and round my forehead from the back. The hideous sound filled all the room with an extraordinary, grotesque parody of human whistling, too gigantic to be human—as if something gargantuan and monstrous made the sounds softly. As I stood there a last moment, pressing down the final seal, I had no doubt but that I had come across one of those rare and horrible cases of the Inanimate reproducing the functions of the Animate. I made a grab for my lamp, and went quickly to the door, looking over my shoulder, and listening for the thing that I expected. It came, just as I got my hand upon the handle —a squeal of incredible, malevolent anger, piercing through the low hooning of the whistling. I dashed out, slamming the door and locking it. I leant a little against the opposite wall of the corridor, feeling rather funny; for it had been a narrow squeak. . . ."
If you give Carnacki the Ghost Finder a try and like it, you may be ready for The House on the Borderland, or even the very difficult The Night Land. Of the former, Lovecraft commented:
…perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson's works—[it] tells of a lonely and evilly regarded house in Ireland which forms a focus for hideous otherworld forces and sustains a siege by blasphemous hybrid anomalies from a hidden abyss below. The wanderings of the Narrator's spirit through limitless light-years of cosmic space and Kalpas of eternity, and its witnessing of the solar system's final destruction, constitute something almost unique in standard literature. And everywhere there is manifest the author's power to suggest vague, ambushed horrors in natural scenery. But for a few touches of commonplace sentimentality this book would be a classic of the first water.
And of The Night Land, which he regarded as seriously flawed (as it is, and in ways that make it almost unreadable today), Lovecraft had this to say:
Allowing for all its faults, it is yet one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written. The picture of a night-black, dead planet, with the remains of the human race concentrated in a stupendously vast metal pyramid and besieged by monstrous, hybrid, and altogether unknown forces of the darkness, is something that no reader can ever forget: Shapes and entities of an altogether non-human and inconceivable sort—the prowlers of the black, man-forsaken, and unexplored world outside the pyramid—are suggested and partly described with ineffable potency; while the night-land landscape with its chasms and slopes and dying volcanism takes on an almost sentient terror beneath the author's touch. Midway in the book the central figure ventures outside the pyramid on a quest through death-haunted realms untrod by man for millions of years—and in his slow, minutely described, day-by-day progress over unthinkable leagues of immemorial blackness there is a sense of cosmic alienage, breathless mystery, and terrified expectancy unrivalled in the whole range of literature.
But in any case, give Carnacki a chance. Turn out all the lights but the one you'll read by and let the shadows creep in on you—I'll guarantee you more than one quality frisson.

I'm not sure we ever will be able to know conclusively exactly what Mormon left out of the Book of Mormon, so I stick with my personal impressions and attempts to parse what he included. It's interesting to me that even a "faithful" interpretation of it as a historical record can be much more ambiguous than most assume.
I accept the Book of Mormon generally as the perception of two men (Mormon and Moroni) who abridged all the records of their time into one concise account. (the small plates of Nephi
It is said many times within the Book of Mormon itself that the original writers picked and chose only a few things to share (e.g., not a hundredth part), and Mormon and Moroni picked and chose only a few of those things - all dealing with one central theme: How the interaction of God with his people would be best presented to people of a much later day. That's selective history to begin with; when you add the long practice of "likening these things unto ourselves" and Mormon's "thus we see" commentary (and the fact that Moroni might have had up to 35 years in isolation to craft and hone his story), it is easy for me to see how the final product could read like "the good parts version" concept described in The Princess Bride. (How's THAT for a comparison? Am I Mormon or what?)
In other words, I believe Mormon and Moroni recreated a spiritual history record, filtered through their ability to look back at the destruction of their people - which easily could have led to the romanticizing of certain narratives and the actual selection of some things over others. When a writer goes into a historical account with a specific agenda, what he produces OFTEN is closer to "historical fiction" than to "unbiased fact".

Roxy Jacenko's daughter at the centre of lewd prank
An investigation is underway after photos of Roxy Jacenko's daughter surfaced of the four year old photoshopped into compromising situations.
The Instagram star Pixie Curtis is at the centre of a photo controversy after her images were ripped by three men and photoshopped to place the four-year-old in inappropriate situations. Speaking to Fitzy & Wippa Roxy has described the situation as disgusting and sick.
"When your four-year-old daughter becomes the target of a sick internet joke you think why her and why me. My job is to protect her. The people who have done this and circulated photos of her in sexual or explicit images are sick. It's pedophilia. I don't know how someone could find it enjoyable."
A source who was sent two of the images has described one of the doctored images as showing Pixie superimposed in her nightie behind a glass box alongside to a prostitute in Amsterdam's red light district. The other showed the young girl reading a book that displayed an image of two men having sex as reported by the Daily Telegraph.
The photos are said to have been created and/or circulated by two 'known' individuals in the fashion industry and Roxy describes the men as known to her but not friends. Until the situation is under control Roxy has changed Pixie's Instagram account to private which currently boasts over 100,000 followers.
A police investigation is underway.

Malnutrition Decreases Effectiveness of HIV Treatment in Pregnant African Women
In Uganda the prescription of three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, which aim to suppress the virus to prevent disease progression, have resulted in huge reductions in HIV mortality rates. However, disease is not the only scourge in Uganda, and a new study in The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology explores the impact food insecurity may have on treating pregnant women.
A U.S-Ugandan research team explored the affect pregnancy and malnutrition can have on the administration of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and efavirenz (EFV) drugs among HIV-infected women in Tororo, Uganda.
Blood and hair samples from 221 women were analyzed, revealing that 80% of patients were malnourished and 26% lost weight during their pregnancy. Average (median) Body Mass Index was found to be only 20.2 kg/m2.
The team found that, compared to well-nourished patients, drug exposure was reduced in these patients (LPV −33%, EFV −15%, ritonavir −17%).
"This study in 221 pregnant and breastfeeding HIV-infected women with severe food insecurity in Uganda showed that food insecurity influences exposure parameters to antiretroviral treatment," said Dr. Imke Bartelink. "Compared to previously published data from well-nourished women, food insecurity is associated with decreases in antiretroviral exposure ranging from 15% to 41% in this group of pregnant and breastfeeding women, irrespective of pregnancy status."

2 Point Conversion Chart
: 12/6/2007 2:14 pm
I thought this would be cool to share if people wanted a copy of a 2 point coversion chart. I scanned it really quick. One side shows what to do if your ahead, and the other when your behind. Hope this helps.
Points Behind
Points Ahead
very cool anish
: 12/6/2007 2:16 pm :
That's pretty cool.
: 12/6/2007 2:18 pm :
My chart only says go for 2 in the 4th quarter or maybe in the 3rd if you're in a very low-scoring game.
Not going for 2 after the Droughns TD with 1:30 left was downright stupid and the argument that Devin Hester is on the Bears doesn't cut it for me.
: 12/6/2007 2:22 pm :
just curious ,explain why you think going for 2 was so big there?
Sg, why was kicking the extra point stupid?
: 12/6/2007 2:22 pm :
What difference does it make if the Giants go up by 5 rather than 6 in that situation?
The problem with this is that it's too simple.
: 12/6/2007 2:25 pm :
It doesn't take into account the time remaining in the game. Unless I'm missing something, that has to be taken into account.
You are right,
: 12/6/2007 2:32 pm :
I thought the same thing as well when they passed it along to me this year.I will try to find out if I can get my hands on an NFL one. But perhaps time remaining and quarter are factors that the NFL coach must decide by himself, hence such a big margin for error among coaches in the NFL in time and game management for 2 points. That's the only thing I can think of. But I will ask to see if there is an NFL chart and if it's different.
The problem with this is that it's too simple.
Crispino : 2:25 pm
It doesn't take into account the time remaining in the game. Unless I'm missing something, that has to be taken into account.
You always have to take into account the "feel" of the game.
: 12/6/2007 2:35 pm :
If you're in an offensive game, you may want to kick for 1 until the 4th when you absoluely have to go for 2. Don't give up points too easily.
If you're in a low scoring game, you may not get a 2nd chance at another touchdown, so perhaps going for 2 earlier than the 4th quarter is okay.
Against the Bears...do your math. If we go for 2 and miss, 20-16..kick the extra point and we're at 21-16. There is no difference beteen a 4 and 5 pt margin. If we go for 2 and get it, 22-16 and even with a Bears TD, they still need the extra point to win. Don't EVER take an extra point for granted. They are missed or blocked occasionally.
By kicking for 1 there, the Bears wouldn't need an extra point for the lead. This is not the 1st time Coughlin has fcked up regarding the 2 pt/extra point deal and if you mismanage it, eventually you'll lose a game.
That was very poor game management there, first not forcing hte Bears to use their last timeout, then leaving alot of time left and then not going for 2 when we should have with 1:30 left.
chart is stupid for many reasons
: 12/6/2007 2:38 pm :
why in the world would it recommend that you go for 2 when down by 10? if you're down by 10 you don't want to lose the opportunity to tie with a FG?
: 12/6/2007 2:40 pm :
errrr... I think you're reading it wrong.
: 12/6/2007 2:40 pm :
How would you lose the opportunity to tie it with a FG if you are down 10? You would be down 9 if you made the XP vs being down 8 if get the 2 point. Either way you'd be down 10 on a miss. OF course you go for 2 at that point.
He assumed it was pretouchdown
: 12/6/2007 2:41 pm :
Sg, your logic on that is sound, but its all the reason why
: 12/6/2007 2:55 pm :
the Coughlin did make the right decision. Sure you can't take an extra point for granted, but you can't also take a 2-point version for granted.
Had the Giants went for 2 points instead of the XP there would still have been the chance something could go wrong leading tho them turning the ball over. An opponent can return a TD for 2 points of their own during a conversion attempt. Had the Bears done that they would have been down by 2 points (20-18), needing only a field goal for the win going into the kickoff.
Unlikely? Sure. But not as unlikely as the Bears under Grossman marching down the field, scoring a TD, and then missing the XP. The Giants making the XP attempt and having their defense stop the Bears (something they had been doing for almost the entire 2nd half) for 90 seconds was the safer choice.
Although, I do agree that Coughlin should have forced the Bears to use their last timeout before running it in.
Dude, in the pros,
: 12/6/2007 3:01 pm :
it cannot be returned. If the conversion fails, the play is over. It's not like college.
: 12/6/2007 3:01 pm :
You don't know the NFL rules. Only the offense can score on a conversion attempt (1-pt or 2-pt). The defense can stop the offense from converting, but they cannot score any points themselves.
: 12/6/2007 3:03 pm :
is right..not going for two there was stupid
: 12/6/2007 3:13 pm :
There is still avalid reason for Coughlin to have gone for 1 point.
Here's the scenario. The Giants have just scored to make the score 20-16. Say the Giants go for 2 and don't convert. They are now up by only 4 with 1:30 left. If somehow Devin Hester returns the ensuing kickoff for a TD, the Bears would be up by 2. The above chart says they should go for 1 to put them up by 3. The Giants would then have about 1 minute to try to get in FG range to tie the game.
If the Giants instead go for 1 (as they did), they'd lead by 5. Again, Hester eturns the ensuing kickoff for a TD and the Bears go up by 1. Of course, the chart says to go for 2 - for which the success rate is about 50%. If they don't make it, then the Giants can win with a FG. If they do make it. The Giants can still tie with a FG.
Before you reply to me that I shouldn't be so concerned with the chance that Hester would return the KO for a TD, let me point out to you that Hester returns kickoffs for TDs more often than the Bears placekicker misses extra points. My scenarios (a TD return) was more likely than yours (a missed PAT).
FJ read my original post
: 12/6/2007 3:20 pm :
Devin Hester being on the Bears does not provide me with a reasonable excuse not to go for 2 with under 2min left.
So FJ
: 12/6/2007 3:22 pm :
Would u rather have them go for two..or would you rather be the one going for two. Whats the percentage of two point conversation rate this year?
For the Bears game
: 12/6/2007 3:22 pm :
I agree with SG as I thought that Coughlin should have gone for 2. The argument could be made the other way so I reversed my decision into thinking that it was a no brainer.
SG is absolutely right with his other point as that you can't go for 2 unless absolutely necessary. Fassel could never seem to grasp this thought and always seemed to go for 2 way too early. I remember a game against the titans that he went for 2 with about 10 minutes left in the 4th. The score was finished something like 38-36 and at the time, Fassel played like the Titans would not score again although the defense gave no indication up to that point that we can stop them. We failed the first try and then had to keep chacing poings failing another one and possibly a 3rd.
: 12/6/2007 3:25 pm :
Bingo...The Titans game ended up 32-29, losing in OT.
I checked, I was wrong about the 2-point conversion thing - my bad
: 12/6/2007 3:25 pm :
BUT, there is a rule that says that if during a conversion attempt a defender forces a fumble that makes the ball travel into the endzone before being recovered, that is considered a "1-point safety" for the defending team. So, either way there's a scenario where a 2-point attempt can hurt you in that case.
: 12/6/2007 3:28 pm :
Think about how ridiculous that dumb possibility is. What are the odds? You play the odds there and you go for two. Why you fighting so hard on this>
Too many coaches have no concept of when to go for 2 and when not to and so often, you lose games because of it.
The Giants have been outcoached about 50 times since Fassel became coach and I'm sick of it.
If you want to go the "Odds" route
: 12/6/2007 3:31 pm :
you should kick the XP.
okay...the EXTRA POINT does absolutely nothing there.
: 12/6/2007 3:35 pm :
It's worthless. The 2 pt conversion based on the ending margin means something. 4 pt lead vs a 5pt lead means diddly with 1:30 left.
Sg, its actually not really a big deal to me. When he made the
: 12/6/2007 3:36 pm :
call I didn't think it really made a difference. I think its ridiculous to be upset at Coughlin over a just as unlikely hypothetical.
Running the ball in and then kicking the XP just confirmed what should have been on everyone's mind at that point - Coughlin having little confidence in the offense, and a lot of confidence in the defense. In the end, the special teams and defense took care of business as expected. End of story.
sg0508 - You are dead wrong.
: 12/6/2007 3:48 pm :
You would go for two for the sake of going up 6, with the hopes of Chicago missing the XP if they score? That is idiotic.
Assuming a 50/50 shot of making the 2 pt conversion and the fact that Gould has made 99% of his XPs. You are banking on a 0.5% chance.
There's a much better shot at Hester returning the KO for TD, or Chicago scoring early, leaving you with time on the clock (and all of your TOs) to retaliate with a FG
which would only tie rather than win the game if you missed the 2 pt conversion.
Coughlin made the right move.
for all you guys saying the Giants were right to kick the XP
: 12/6/2007 3:53 pm :
You do realize that if Chicago did score at TD to go up 22-21, that they would have gone for 2 to put them up 24-21 and make a FG tie, not win the game?
Yes the chart's
: 12/6/2007 3:56 pm :
right there, it was just more convolution I was trying to avoid.
but you can't avoid it
: 12/6/2007 3:59 pm :
One decision leads to the next. Your argument is that the Giants shouldn't go for 2 so they can win with a FG. But Chicago would go for 2 to make sure the Giants can't win with a FG.
You are assuming
: 12/6/2007 4:04 pm :
Chicago converts in both of your posts. You are still forcing them into attempting the 2 pt conversion.
: 12/6/2007 4:10 pm :
Yes, I pointed that out in my explanation above.
Well done FJ
: 12/6/2007 4:13 pm :
I wish I would have read your explanation before I wasted time writing mine. You did a better job of saying the same thing.
: 12/6/2007 4:27 pm :
I've found that usually, when people claim that going for a 2-pointer is a no-brainer, there's usually plenty of valid arguments why it is not a no-brainer.
Going for 2 after Droughns' TD makes NO sense.
: 12/6/2007 4:34 pm :
Let's say Giants don't make the 2, and KO to Hester. He takes it to the house, and the XP puts the Bears up by 3. The Giants would get the ball back with over a minute left (I don't remember how many TO's they had).
So if they are able to get into FG range, they are kicking the game-tying FG, not the game-winner. All of that for the slim chance that Gould misses the XP?
Derp, I see others made the same point I did.
: 12/6/2007 4:35 pm :
Oh well...
Just figured out what is wrong
: 12/6/2007 5:21 pm :
with the Giants coaching staff, particularly TC. They (He) don't EVER agree with sg0508! They must go!

Researchers find molecule that causes sunburn pain
A collaboration between Elaine Fuch's Laboratory of Mammalian Cell Biology and Development at Rockefeller University and researchers at Duke University and the University of California, San Francisco, found that blocking a molecule called TRPV4 greatly protects against the painful effects of sunburn. The research could yield a way to combat sunburn and possibly several other causes of pain. More »

You will generally pay more the higher the grade so high school is more than than middle which might be more than elementary school. Average cost for elementary school is $5,049 and average cost for secondary school is $8,412.
I used the site Private School Review to find data on various schools. They have listings of private schools with basic data on the enrollment, student : teacher ratio and nature of the school. The site might list the tuition but usually I had to go direct to the schools website to find their tuition & fee rates.
As with most things the costs vary a lot depending on region. A private high school in Boise Idaho might run you $6500 a year while a school in Huntington Beach California could run you $13,275
School costs may also vary some depending on the nature of the school. Catholic or other religiously affiliated schools may be cheaper due to support from the church and secular schools may be more expensive as they lack church funding.
Schools in my area vary in price from $5,100 to $22,500 per year depending on the grade and the school. One school a couple miles from us has K-8 grades that range in price from $5,100 to $6,900. Another K-8 school is $6,600 a year for all grades. A local private high school has tuition of $9,400 a year. All of these schools are religiously affiliated. A non-sectarian school in a nearby town has tuition rates of $19,500 for grades 1-5 up to to $22,500 range for high school grades.
Schools may charge some hefty fees in addition to the tuition. The expensive non-sectarian school in my area has a $800 bus fee, book fees of $100 to $850, sport fees up to $150 per sport and other fees. You could end up paying an extra $1,800 more a year in fees.
Time and other financial commitments might be required. Other schools may require parents to participate in fund raising and volunteer activities. One school here requires parents to volunteer 35 hours a year or pay $15 per hour and buy $2,200 worth of certificates at local merchants or pay $150 in fees.
Discounts, scholarships, tuition or other aid may be available. Many of the religious schools have a discounted tuition rate for people who are members of the church. People with low income may be able to qualify for financial aide or tuition scholarships.

What Does Private School Cost?

The national average for public schools is $10,500 (look it up if you don't believe me) and private is $6,600. Most would agree a private education is better than a public one. If private is nearly half the cost why don't we privatize it all out?
ReplyDelete Tuition at private schools is NOT equivalent to the amount spent per student.
Private schools get other funding via gifts and other sources as well as drawing on assets in endowments.
For example, a Catholic high school near me charges about $10,000 a year in tuition but they spend $14,000 per student each year. The other $4000 is obtained via gifts and other funds. By comparison my state spends less than $10,000 per student in public schools.

The commonly cited "gray goo" scenario is a sort of nanotech worst case: nanites that can convert almost any naturally occurring matter (including biomatter) into more identical nanites. Robert Freitas has done some analysis [foresight.org] concluding that gray goo would either work very slowly, or throw off a huge amount of heat which could be detected by a thermal monitoring system of geosynchronous satellites. Drexler has observed that making a gray goo nanite is likely to be an enormous engineering challenge.
These kinds of topics pop up on sci.nanotech with some frequency. Here are some discussions: November 1996 [google.com], March 1997 [google.com], September/October 1997 [google.com]. My own thinking is that we want to ensure that the development of defensive measures outpaces the development of offensive weapons. A step in the right direction would be for the good guys to maintain a development/design/simulation effort that clearly outpaces anything the bad guys can do. (This obviously sidesteps the issue of who gets to define "good guys" and "bad guys", and whether the good guys become corruptible given a commanding technological lead.)
A sine curve goes off to infinity, or at least the end of the blackboard. -- Prof. Steiner

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Planted Aquarium
- - Good plant to hide powerhead?
Good plant to hide powerhead? Has anyone any suggestions for a good plant to hide the powerhead on my new tank? The tank is 42cm high, the powerhead is approximately 10cm x 10cm. I planted some vallisneria there, but I don't think it'll be bushy enough to hide it. I've got some ambulia but that tends to shed a bit and might clog up the intake. Any other suggestions? Thanks. |
a piece of driftwood or a sword might work. a good piece of wood would work better then the sword IMO but swords get pretty big to where it may help. |
I also think a chunk of wood, or a piece of rock, standing vertically might be best. Stem plants of course would be pushed aside in the current. A sturdy sword such as one of the larger species might work, or a tough plant like Anubias barteri (which has to be attached to wood or rock, see the profile for info). The problem with these is that in the filter current, brush algae would undoubtedly be rampant on the plants; this algae is prevalent in strong water flows which is why it almost always occurs on the filter outflow, and it loves plants like Anubias and Echinodorus. Positioning the powerhead at one rear corner of the tank and aiming the flow toward the end wall of the tank will help reduce the current. I do this with my canister filters. A plant on the tank side of the powerhead would thus not be subjected to direct flow. |
African water fern (bolbitis something...) likes water current- it should be attached to driftwood or rocks too. |
Thanks for the replies. |

Posted on 12/13/2001 7:50:35 AM PST by 11th Earl of Mar
Many Christians believe that prayer played a major role in sending George W. Bush to the White House, but stayaway believers came close to losing him the election, according to his chief political adviser, Karl Rove.
Rove said that one reason the 2000 election was so tight was that as many as 4 million Christian conservatives did not go to the polls, reported "The Chicago Tribune." Although the Bush campaign had expected 19 million evangelical voters to vote for their man, election returns revealed only 15 million turned out to cast ballots.
Speaking yesterday at an American Enterprise Institute seminar, Rove said the Bush campaign "probably failed to marshal support of the base as well as we should have," said the "Tribune." Rove added: "But we may also be returning to the point in America where fundamentalists and evangelicals remain true to their beliefs and think politics is corrupt and, therefore, they shouldn't participate."
Rove said that if the "process of withdrawal" went on it would be bad for the country as well as conservatives and Republicans. "It's something we have to spend a lot of time and energy on."
(It was my first vote for President.)
It didn't take long for the everybody is a RINO crowd to start posting. (Funny, it's the same day Bush withdraws from ABM.)
For over half a year, Republicans controlled both Houses and the White House, yet Partial Birth Abortion is still being committed on our children. When are they going to pursue the abolition of it? I see absolutely NO movement regarding abortion from the White House or Congressional Republicans.
What a shame!
And just when did the whitehouse become sacred?
Four million voters, who are in essence saying that it makes no difference to them whether Gore or Bush won, is an enormous number.
Guess you would have been more happier with Gore in the White House, eh dumbass?
Going to the polls without any delusions is one of the most disheartening things a person can do.
Check out a recent Walter Williams article detailing the billions in pork spending that was passed "in the interest of national security."
You quickly come to realize that the "good guys" are only "good" because the bad guys are so abysmally bad.
In absolute moral terms, I wouldn't pee on most republicans if he was on fire. They are detestable parasites.
Their only good point is that republicans know that if they over do it, they kill the host and the party ends for everyone.
The democrats are so much worse because they hate their host and try to kill it, or at least their avarice is so great that it looks like murderous intent.
Republicans are like corrupt cops, democrats are violent home invaders.
They can't because of jumping Jim Jeffords(Dashcle controls the bills in the Senate now). The Republican Congress three times sent to Clinton a partial birth abortion ban and three times he vetoed it.
Bush needs to campaign like hell for his base voters in the South and West. If his popularity remains high, he will pick up Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, with Florida being safe.
I don't agree with all of President Bush's policies, and I wish he WAS stronger in his pro-life stance. HOWEVER, I think he's a WONDERFUL president and I stand behind him 100%. I also thank God every day that lying, gutless woosy--man Al Gore is not Commander-In-Chief.
Now watch me get flamed...proof of what I'm saying.
A good many fundamentalists probably decided, as I did, that regardless of Bush's flaws, the Clinton-Gore Crime Syndicate was a far worse option that had to be stopped at all cost.
Yea, keep voting for the Algores...they're closer to your views!
We stay home because the candidate doesn't go all the way in our beliefs, often on just one single issue. Meanwhile, others who could not have a decent conversation about the issues are dragged to the polls to vote. So, while those on our side sit on the sidelines as a matter of "principle," the other side gets elected and shoves everything we hate down our throats in droves and droves.
Do I have this right?
You'll soon see a list of those people; right here on this thread.
I can't be overturned until a liberal justice retires. We just need Justice Stevens or Ginsburg to retire. I sure there people on FreeRepublic that think Al Gore would have been great.
So, let me guess - you wrote in a vote for Lester Maddox?
That is precisely why pro-lifers tend to be so cynical about it. Republicans in Congress were all in favor of a late-term abortion ban when they knew Clinton would veto it, but their "courage" disappeared once the party was in a position to ensure that anything they passed would be signed into law.
You forgot to add are given cigarettes to vote for Gore.
Not necessarily. Did you factor in the people who DID vote for him but wouldn't have under your strategy?
Glad you finally signed up to fight the good fight. Welcome to Free Republic! But I must ask, where were you in 1998 when we were getting deaths threats from LOR stockholders and wondering if the IRS or SS would call on us?
Btw...the "wouldn't be prudent" comment is a dead give away.
The war against terrorism, likewise, has given us a new term, "Johnny Walker," with which to refer to Islamic fundamentalists in America who would destroy their own country and "kill" fellow citizens in the quest for self-righteous spiritual purity.
We need a term to describe Christian fundamentalists who would, in effect, do the same thing. How anyone in their right mind, and in light of current events, could believe that America would be better off if George W. Bush had not been elected President of the United States is beyond me.
Why stop now?
BTW, my great great great great great grandfather fought at George Washington's side; my family fought for this country, too.
However, that does NOT make the White House a sacred CHRISTIAN site.
Planned Parenthood spent millions trying to defeat Bush and will spend millions more trying to defeat him in 2004. Yet, the GOP refuses to strip Planned Parenthood of the $66 million it gets from our federal tax dollars. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood uses these tax dollars to sue pro-lifers, peddle abortions to minors and, indirectly, campaign against Republicans.
Bush is never going to win over the pro-aborts, so he may as well take steps to completely crush them by ceasing to subsidize them with our money.
Could you imagine how quickly Clinton would have cut off funds to a pro-life group receiving $66 million in federal funds?
Pro-Life Policies Quashed (How RINO Ralph Regula Killed Effort to Defund Planned Parenhood)
Bush wanted to get his tax cut through first. I think the partial birth abortion bans came at the end of the Congressional terms.
Jumping Jim Jeffords put the kibosh on that. Also there is the 60 vote cloture vote in the Senate. With the loss of Abraham, Ashcroft, Gorton, and others in 2000, getting to the 60 vote cloture is much tougher.
You can be cynical if you want, but I will look at the machinations of the Senate.

This is pretty outrageous. In the midst of all the anger from LGBT people over the DOMA brief and the inadequate response -- so far -- by the Obama administration, gay lobbyists, executive directors and assorted others who comprise what is identified as the gay leadership apparently have been invited to a party at the White House thrown just for them.
It's another photo-op in which everyone -- the president and the gays -- can look happy and like they're having fun, but more so, it's a way for the White House to wank off the gay leaders a bit while still not delivering. None of them should fall for it -- and that means they should not attend this event -- most all the Human Rights Campaign. We don't want cocktails for high-paid gay and lesbian lobbyists and executive directors looking to schmooze and feel important. We want action on our rights, and at this point it means DOMA and DADT.
The signing of the memorandum by the president to give some benefits to some federal employees was a crumb, which, as I wrote last week, should have been a gesture made five months ago. Nonetheless, unlike some others, I believed it was appropriate for Joe Solmonese of the Human Rights Campaign to be there, along with other LGBT leaders. It was business: The president was signing an order to benefit some LGBT people (in addition to a few partner benefits for some gay and lesbian federal workers he signed an anti-discrimination order banning discrimination in federal hiring based on gender identity). I think they should be there, be cordial, and let the president know it's not nearly enough.
I know some people think Obama should not have been given the photo-op, but really, the story of anger by gays was already out there and wasn't about to be changed by that event. In fact, the next day, the story line in the media was along the lines of "president offers some little thing but gays just are not happy and are in fact more angry." So the photo-op did nothing, but LGBT leaders kept the dialogue open by going, which they should.
But now, a cocktail party? No, that's not business -- it's schmoozing and sucking up, and it's all about buying off gay leaders by seducing them, very cheaply, so the White House can help get the money coming back in, since the DNC gay fundraiser for next week is collapsing. The response so far has only been about the money and it's not nearly enough.
What we need now is real action. Not these crumbs, whether it be the census inclusion or some benefits for federal employees. We need something big, and until then, the DNC fundraisers should continue to be threatened, and nobody among the gay leadership should be partying with this president.

The blogosphere is buzzing about the arrest of chef Dan Kaufman of Busy Chef, on Henry Street in the North Brooklyn Heights. Kaufman was arrested yesterday, accused of double-swiping customers' credit cards to the tune of $25,000 and other crimes. Charges against Kaufman include Grand Larceny, Attempted Grand Larceny, Possession of a Forged Instrument and Criminal Impersonation.
Whether Kaufman is found guilty or not (innocent until proven ...) he appears to have made a lot of enemies in his travels. Many commenters on the Shamelessrestaurant.com blog profess a hatred so intense it's almost sublime.
We can't print most of the comments. Okay, here's one we can print:
" I mean these are some pretty nasty things being said here , and maybe I'm just one of those gullible people who think people can change or make mistakes . But don't you think there just might be a time to let go ? how many possibly can read this site ?"
And another:
"Dan has caused so much anger and resentment in Boston that I think people post here because they know Dan will read it."
Those are practically the only printable remarks. Here are a few links:

PedvaxHIB Side Effects
In clinical studies, common side effects of PedvaxHIB included crying, diarrhea, and soreness at the injection site. However, because the vaccine was not always given alone, it is hard to say for certain that these problems were directly related to PedvaxHIB. If your child experiences trouble breathing, unexplained swelling, or has not stopped crying after three hours, you should contact your healthcare provider right away.
An Introduction to PedvaxHIB Side Effects
As with all vaccines, side effects are possible with PedvaxHIB® (Hib vaccine). However, not everyone who receives the vaccination will have problems. In fact, most children tolerate it quite well. If adverse reactions do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with PedvaxHIB. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Common Side Effects of PedvaxHIB
PedvaxHIB has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, and possible side effects were carefully documented. In these studies, the most common PedvaxHIB side effects included:- Irritability
- Sleepiness
- Soreness or pain at the injection site
- Redness at the injection site
- Swelling or a lump at the injection site
- Crying
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Pain
- Ear infection
- Rash
- Upper respiratory tract infection (such as the common cold).
The exact percentages of these side effects were not reported. In these studies, PedvaxHIB was usually given along with other childhood vaccines; as a result, it is impossible to say with certainty that any of the reported problems are truly a side effect of PedvaxHIB and not one of the other vaccines.

do it like a dude
jacket and jeans - Zara; sweater - H&M; boots - Deichmann; bag - New Look
When this 'boyfriend jeans' trend started, it was like a beginning of a complicated love affair for me. First I though it was cool, but not for me. Then I started to like it more and more, but didn't wan't to give in to a trend. And in the end I was in a desperate need to get a pair on my own, but I couldn't find a nice one for months. And like in a fairy tale (haha) I laid my eyes on them in Zara last week, but my mom wouldn't let me buy them, saying they're not right for me (see what I ment when I said complicated love affair ;). And then, few days ago, I sneaked out of my house, got them, put them on and started dancing and singing 'I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in loooooove!' ♥
