It has been argued that political parties are weakening. In Southern Europe, however, political parties have shown remarkable pragmatism. Not only have they played a crucial role in the installation and consolidation of democracy, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, but they have also adapted to the aftermaths of severe political crises during the 1990s.
Party Change in Southern Europe addresses a basic issue: Have parties in Southern Europe weakened over the decade 1995-2005? Or have they rather changed? And if so, how have they changed? To answer these questions the authors analyze the transformations undergone by the two main parties in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Turkey and Cyprus (North and South) focusing on several dimensions of change. For each political group, systematic analysis is offered on:
This book was previously published as a special issue of South European Society and Politics.
Introduction Anna Bosco and Leonardo Morlino Portugal The Partido Social Democrata Carlos Jalali. The Partido Socialista Marco Lisi Spain The Partido Popular Javier Astudillo and Elena García-Guereta. The Partido Socialista Obrero Español Mónica Méndez Lago Italy Forza Italia Francesco Raniolo. The Democratici di Sinistra Daniela Giannetti and Rosa Mulé Greece Nea Democratia Takis S. Pappas and Elias Dinas. PASOK Mikalis Spourdalakis and Chrisanthos Tassis Cyprus and Northern Cyprus AKEL, DISY, CTP and UBP Christophoros Christophorou Turkey The AKP Ergun Özbudun. The CHP Ilter Turan
The parallel regime transitions of the 1970s, when Southern Europe was the vanguard of the 'third wave' of democratisation, the impact of EU membership and Europeanisation and more recently, the region's central role in the eurozone crisis have all made Southern Europe a distinctive area of interest for social science scholars. The South European Society and Politics book series promotes new empirical research into the domestic politics and society of South European states. The series, open to a broad range of social science approaches, offers comparative thematic volumes covering the region as a whole and on occasion, innovative single-country studies. Its geographical scope includes both 'old' and 'new' Southern Europe, defined as Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, Malta and Turkey.

Trus'me kept the packed dancefloor moving with his amazing blend of disco, house, techno and beyond for the last two hours, but before that I had the chance to play some proper partytime house music. So before we serve you with the next official episode of the podcast here's a little bonus live set from your's truly, no tracklist, just the goods. See you back at the Marsh Post on June 28th!

How Can I Get My Partner To Talk Dirty To Me In Bed?
I find it absolutely the biggest turn on when my partner talks dirty to me. Any suggestions on how I can get her to increase the foul mouth gab during sex?
Dear Eager,
So you like to hear her describe in that rude and graphic way of hers how she would like to take that big, hunk of hairy manhood and …
You're not alone. According to both the Janus Report, and The Sex in America Study using explicit language while having sex is popular with over 55 per cent of sexually active adults. In fact there are lots of men who find their partner's heavy breathing, illicit language and passionate moaning pushes them to intensely powerful orgasms. And women being even more auditory than men (men tend to be more visual) find that a lover who uses the right kind of language can be labeled as a Sex God. Try reading to her before you make love. Start with something romantic and well written, –Lady Chatterly's Lover comes to mind — and read her the erotic parts. Women tend to prefer more romantic language but good erotica can use four letter words with the best of them. Tell her naughty bedtime stories, encourage her to read them to you, and in a non-threatening way, let her know how much her talking is making you hot. Bring up the subject out of the bedroom, and be careful not to insist on having her provide a "play-by-play" every time you make out. Sometimes you don't want to work that hard, and women especially find it annoying to have to talk all the way through the best parts when they want to just live in the moment. That said, it's not too much to ask your partner to meet you in the middle and try her best to whisper naughty nothings into your ear. Amen.

Differential or uneven settlement occurs when the soil beneath a structure cannot bear the weight imposed. It describes the situation where a building's foundation settles unequally in different areas after construction.
The settlement of a structure is the amount that the structure will sink during and after construction. This may lead to structural damage or in some cases destruction of the structure. It is usually caused by a change in soil structure or poor drainage conditions in the soil, which may cause some places to compact more than others. Most recommendations for maintenance and some methods of repair or reinforcement relate back to the need to prevent differential settlement.

Insider Attacks in Afghanistan Not Preventable, But Won't Thwart Mission's Objective
October 10, 2012 | By Terry Hill | email@example.com
The "insider" attacks against U.S. and Coalition troops in Afghanistan that have killed or wounded 130 military personnel this year alone are not preventable, but will not jeopardize the mission's overall objective, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said during a National Press Club luncheon Wednesday.
Declaring the trend a very serious threat, he said, "It's clear that the Taliban understands that if they can separate the Afghan Security Forces from those of us who advise and assist them, they will retard the development of the Afghan security forces and cause our will to be under pressure."
The nation's defense system's greatest vulnerability, he said, is the potential of cybersecurity attacks. Rating it a "10" on a scale of one to 10, Dempsey said the challenge also presents a great opportunity for making needed changes to America's military capabilities.
To answer the question is the Department of Defense playing too large a role in the current administration's foreign policy, Dempsey said the nation's military is often seen having a larger presence around the globe due to the attention paid to military action in some areas, but he said it maintains a "thoughtful balance" and is "well partnered" with other federal agencies. But there will be relationship issues that must change when DOD downsizes during anticipated budget reductions, he noted. "We have to be careful that that doesn't create a vacuum."
Agreeing that political rhetoric sometimes causes misunderstandings between him and his counterparts around the world, Dempsey said he often personally talks with military leaders of other nations about key issues and assures them that he is not going to communicate with them through the media.
Addressing the issue of the rising rate of suicide among military personnel, the chairman said, like insider attacks, suicide is not preventable but the military is trying to do as much as it can to reduce it. He said there is something unknown in society today that is changing the resilience of young people, making them more vulnerable to such acts.

I have some pics from the recording session that was done for the VBS 2010 music. . . they recorded way back on St. Patrick's day, but I thought that was way too early to tease you guys with VBS 2010 stuff. 🙂
Just so you know, the official theme release date is June 22nd, but if I were you, I'd start checking for some clues to the 2010 theme even beginning next week . . .

Dutch Braid Low Rolled Updo
We are in the age of the statement braid my friends. With that, I feel that braids can actually make some up styles look a bit dated if they aren't done in an editorial way. Utilizing a pancake braiding technique like shown in my below video, will help you immediately update your dutch braid and give it a bit of an editorial feel.
The dutch braid rolled updo can be worn in several ways such as a wedding, a night out or throw a few flowers in it to make it boho chic. Loving this hairstyle? Then don't forget to to my YouTube channels for weekly hair tutorials and sign up for one of my upcoming Updo Classes.

RizKnows builds growing online following with gear discounts, reviews
How entrepreneur team built online audience with big-time discounts, concise gear reviews
Oakmont High School graduate Jeff Rizzo told me that he figured out who his real friends were after he quit his job in investment banking to launch a business out of his parents' garage in Roseville.
"It was a leap of faith," Rizzo said. "I had a great job out of college. Then I quit it to try something unconventional, and I really learned who my friends were. When I was doing good (financially), they all wanted to hang out with me. When I wasn't doing good, a lot of them didn't. But it worked out."
Rizzo, who has a degree in business from UC Berkeley, opened up his media and marketing firm, RizKnows, in mid-2013 as a YouTube channel where he reviewed different types of gear that he knew appealed to guys: stuff for sports and outdoors, technology, home and hardware, those sort of things. His goal — then and now — is producing helpful, entertaining and concise video reviews. This year, he added the website to the mix. There, consumers will find what he described as "big time deals" on gear.
"I preferred watching videos as opposed to reading written reviews, just because you can see the genuineness of whoever is talking about it," Rizzo said. "Over time, Google started to integrate YouTube more into the native search results. That's really where I got a big break because some of my videos were showing up above some of the biggest media sources in the world."
Rizzo recently brought on a business partner, Placer High School graduate Matt Ross. The two became friends while working for Duff & Phelps investment bank in Southern California. The 26-year-old Ross got written up in newspapers around the world after writing a brutally honest cover letter that this columnist has discovered typifies the humility of so many native Sacramento-area residents.
One sentence from Ross's letter read: "I won't waste your time inflating my credentials, throwing around exaggerated job titles, or feeding you a line of crap about how my past experiences and skill set align perfectly for an investment banking internship."
For the past three months, Ross has brought his A-game to bear at RizKnows, arriving to work each day at 5:30 a.m. So far, the two men have updated the website and honed in on improving the quality of all video reviews. They also have a mobile app in the works.
They've received one sign that their work is paying off: "This plaque from YouTube commemorates when I hit 100,000 subscribers. It took me almost three years to get there, but any day now, we'll hit 150,000, and we did it in less than six months."
Rizzo also has secured angel investment from Mark Haney, the chairman and chief development officer of Haney Business Ventures in Rocklin. Neither party disclosed the dollar figure. Haney told me: "I start by investing into the individual. I've known Jeff for a while, Matt more recently, but these guys are just bar raisers. They have motivation, intensity, intelligence, and they're hard-working."
The operation is profitable, Rizzo said, with revenue coming solely from advertising. Because RizKnows.com points consumers to deals, many people think the site actually is an online retailer, Rizzo said, but their focus is on finding deals that their subscribers may be too busy to research for themselves.

As I approach Surf Parade I was captivated by the roaring crowd and stage lights shining across the street. The Groundwater Country Musical festival has brought Australian's from all walks of life to connect through music. Also, the akubra's were out in force. My favourite thing to do as an event photographer on the Gold Coast is sit back and watch the different types of crowds at every event I go to. Capturing couples and friends alike.
People love having their photo taken, it makes them feel apart of something. A part of the event that's proceeding and being a part of a memory that is created around the evening. I love making people feel special and capture their inner joy when they get to experience a live event like this. Music events are one of my favourite to attend, you can feel the energy in the air as the band plays their song and people sing and dance to the rhythm.
With free live events every week, locals should venture out of their comfort zone and find something new to enjoy. You won't regret it.

"The tour was wonderful all along the way, and everything went smooth ... It was extremely well organ..." Read More >> 10/10 Alexander Bova 19, Jun, 2017
Welcome to Morocco, a place where two seas meet and present us with enchanting beaches, rivers, gorges and a surrounding mountain range at the peak of natural beauty.
The serenity is felt as you step foot into a Moroccan culture of literature, Arabian influenced music and a delicious cuisine which holds together the simplicity of Berber traditions.
Morocco is a breathtaking escape from your everyday routines with large cities boasting a diverse heritage and the landscape so beautifully dotted by the Ouzoud Falls, Middle Atlas Mountains and Old Medina in the North. The opportunity to relax and unwind on a well deserved break is provided on gorgeous beaches and peaceful evenings at dinner under the stars.
This singles adventure is specially designed to create a warm environment of people who want to make the most of a stunning location. Enrich your knowledge and tastes for the most memorable holiday with a group of solo travellers.
Day One
Meet your guide who will kindly escort you to the hotel where your time to relax on holiday begins! At dinner you can meet fellow guests with a traditional Moroccan meal in a local restaurant and share the excitement of the next few days!
Day Two
Prepare for a fun ride to the High Atlas in a four-by-four which will present stunning views along the winding roads of the Tizi n Tichka pass. We follow this route past its highest point of over 2000 meters down to Ouarzazate, visiting the fortified city of Ait Benhaddou and its high walled Kasbah. Lunch at a restaurant gives time to reflect with fellow single travellers on your first few moments in Morocco before we set off on a visit to the Atlas Film Studios, giving us a glimpse of the North African film industry. The evening is reserved for rest and relaxation by the pool with a cocktail in hand or a calming walk into the Kasbah Tauorirt, whichever you please.
Day Three
M'Hamid is a village in the Sahara which we will first visit in the morning for its ideal temperatures. The road ends as we approach the desert and begin an off-road adventure through the Oasis in the Draa Valley, stopping for lunch at Zagora. Here we have desert culture to explore with a museum-kasbah, Koranic library and a pottery exhibiting some fascinating pieces of history. We have the extraordinary chance to adopt a camel ride later today before another memorable experience living the Moroccan lifestyle with a meal in the desert and local entertainment. We retire to our shared bivouac, an improvised campsite, which will bring fond memories and a wonderful group spirit together.
Day Four
We awake fresh from a spectacular night under the star filled skies and drive to the magical vistas and sand dunes of Erg Chigaga. Immerse yourself in Berber traditions with lunch in the Sacred Oasis and then unwind with the locals as they carry out their daily routines around you. We spend tonight in the tranquility of surrounding dunes at Erg Chigaga and our bivouac. Sand boarding will bring laughter before the night comes to a close.
Day Five
Get up early and enjoy another spot of sand boarding before we depart on an incredible off-road venture to Tazenakht, a brilliant carpet-weaving town. Stunning colours and patterns come together in this area with vast open areas and interesting buildings we pass on the way to your hotel in Talaouine. Enjoy a few drinks with your new travel partners and share your most favoured moments thus far!
Day Six
Travel over the Tizi n Test Mountain pass on a journey to Marrakech for simply unbeatable views and your first experiences of the Ochre City. Berber traditions come to life in this city, where you will dine in a restaurant with exquisite food, drinks and the company of your new friends.
Day Seven
Visit the grandest Berber market in the whole of Morocco and haggle for a souvenir before standing back for a moment and seeing the mystical Medina in front of you, bustling with traders, animals and vibrant colours. After lunch you are free to admire the Marrakech gardens or organise a trip to the local steam room where people come every week to cleanse themselves and talk with friends. The local Fantasia may provide the setting for our last night as a group with delicious food and entertainment on offer. Another option could present views over the main square in Marrakech.
(Please Note: the final meal and entertainment is not included in the package)
Day Eight
Our journey through Morocco comes to an end, but not before exchanging contact details and saying farewell to the land which brought some astonishing memories. Accompany the group to the airport and make plans for another singles holiday perhaps next year!

The Atlas Mountains
Covering a large stretch across the Northwest of Africa is the Atlas Mountain range which can be separated into four distinct regions and is home to unique wildlife. Explore the culture of its residents, the Berbers, living a peaceful life in the high altitudes. Discover plant species only found in these parts of Africa and bring a camera for a few images to look back on!
Sahara Desert
Cross the sandy Sahara, which occupies most of North Africa, in 4x4 vehicles for an adventurous journey over dunes and naturally formed rocky features. Feel the warmth and see vast open areas ready to be explored, with rich flora and oases where camels and goats are brought for water. Find a spot of shade and let a mirage become visible whilst you rest in the company of the Berber people.
One of the oldest and largest cities in Morocco that comprises an old Medina amongst modern villages. Visit the Djemaa el Fna for a lively atmosphere of entertaining music, dancing, stories and acrobatics in one of the largest open squares in the world.

I don't really understand the rationale behind the test naming here, nor why the new test is skipped for the in-memory storage. Could you clarify?
looks like for consistency this test should be renamed _db, not _pgsql
The old test, that I renamed to _pgsql, does an SQL query. The new one is more portable.

Because that endpoint is not implemented (T1633).

Cosmos Moka
Nairobi, Kenya
Dear Dear JOHN POLIS,
I great you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's my pleasure to write to you today and give you my testimony since God connected us together as father and son in Christ on 30th April 2016 8.30am at New Stanley hotel in Nairobi Kenya.
I must admit that surely it was a God ordained relation God started for us. Since 30th April, GOD has done a lot to me and my business, favour has been following me in all areas of my life and business.
On the 20th of may 2016 I receive goods from Germany, my long time suppliersent me a 20fit container Of second hand clothes, he came on 23rd may 2016 because I requested him to come as we wear starting up again after one year break. I had a feeling in my spirit to tell him that I have forgiven him for anything that he might have wronged me in the past And in turn I also asked him to forgive me and open his heart to me. Surprisingly he told me that he will tell me something on Friday of 27th may the same week before he returns back to turkey. He is a Turkish born but leaving in Germany. come on Friday at around 3pm in the afternoon as we wear leaving my office to drop him to the hotel he told me to open my hands, both hands as we entered in my car, he confessed to me that he went to the witch in turkey so that my business will never flourish, and that when I get money to my business just get lost out of my hand. He told me that in turkey they tighten a statue in form of a person a button shirt on the neck, then speak words of witchcraft to destroy someone's business, or to cause failures in someone's life. when I asked him why he did this to me or what have i done, he said that he felt jealous that he was supplying to me and my life was good while he was suffering. He had developed my sickness, he had no peace in his life and so on. His life was getting worse every time that's why he confessed this wickedness so that i can forgive him. I told him that now his life will change because am a man of God and his evil deeds are the ones which were causing his suffering. My business has now open up, I received new suppliers from Taiwan, I received one container already and signed an agreement of three containers a month. Two of second hand shoes and one of second hand clothes, plus I agreed with him to send me one container of shoes from Germany per every month. On 4th June God gave me a spiritual son in voi Kenya 200km from Mombasa city where I stay and God gave us money to secure A plot of 100 fit square where I together with the director Mr Ben Ambani we dedicated the plot for the church under RFI.
This Voi Pasta Godrick Mwamburi joined Eldoret Bible College on 13th June 2016 for diploma under my sponsorship as my spiritual son. As you prophesised to me that God has deposited millions on my head, I thank God because God gave me the assignment of giving the word of God, the bibles to whoever is need and He told me that He is going to give me the money to buy the bibles of which am doing.
Truly God bless you and am really getting inspired by the books you sent. This is a God ordained relationship as you told me.

Greetings Dr. John, I am pleased to say that your book "Put On Your
Gloves" has been an absolute blessing to myself and my family. I remember
taking the act of faith and getting married. God truly does bless a Holy
bond between man and woman. In your book chapter 5 has really stood out
to me. It has helped me with the supernatural understanding of the love
for my wife and family. I want to say thanks for being a blessing to the
dying world that shall and will be revived through spoken words of life
you speak. Thanks again and continue to be blessed always!

I was given Dr. John Polis' book How To Produce Abundance as a gift.
It is a gift that I will treasure. It opened my eyes and awakened me to
the fact that God's divine plan for me is an abundant life. The practical
applications in the book really serve as an encouragement. Not only did I
read the book but have preached the information in the book to my
congregation. They too have testified of being awakened to planting the
seeds that produce abundance. I intend to continue using this book as a
resource for future teaching and preaching not only to my congregation
but to other churches that I minister to. Very practical. Very helpful.
Very eye-opening. An excellent biblically based resource.

We are very greatful to God for saving our lives; finally we are
free from the dirty virus disease Ebola. WHO announced and declared
Liberia Ebola free on Saturday May 9, 2015. We give praises to God
first and to you Dr. John for your support, Liberians are celebrating
freedom all over the nation on Sunday. The church organization called
the Liberia Council of Churches to declare a special Thanksgiving
Service throughout the country, then on Monday the government declare
holiday to be observe all over Liberia.
This Ebola virus has cause lots of setback in our Nation for almost a year and a half. Business were closed down, people jobs were taken away from them, this virus caused other communities to be quarantined by the government, people could not travel outside the country while other nations could not accept Liberians in the their country and the worst of all 4,000 lives were taken away by the virus.
Thank God for our general overseer and President Dr. John who made it possible for other communities and its surroundings and other counties to receive some protective items and Gospel tracks that help them through the Ebola Crisis. We also give thanks to God for our entire Faithful giver in the ministry that made it possible for us through their offering and tithes. We pray for God continue provision for you in this Kingdom works. Thank you again God Bless You.
TMKI Broadcasting
I have known Drs. John & Rebecca for over 23 years. We are not just ministry related, but also personally connected to the point of their children calling me Uncle Nick. I must state that in all of my traveling, nationally and internationally, I have never met anyone with a level of true spiritual parenting that they walk in. They can truly be trusted to help men and women of God reach their fullness in life. I have watched them bring ministries to West Virginia at their own expense. Why? Because they seen something that would help the Kingdom of God and wanted to share it with other church leaders. I count it an honor to be part of this family.
Brighter Day Church
Campus Pastors
We are so blessed to be part of Revival Fellowship International. Our spiritual parents (Dr. John & Dr. Rebecca) have imparted wisdom and knowledge into us so that we are able to impart to our church family as well as the unchurched that we encounter. It is not about being in an organization (RFI) but it is being a part of loving family who really cares.
Faith Church International
RFI means so very much to me. It is a ministry that raises up leaders as sons and daughters. I've had the privilege of being in relationship with Dr John and Dr Rebecca since 1993. They are true parents in the faith and RFI has helped me grow in leading and in relationship with others, which brings strength to the body of Christ. Since becoming an RFI affiliate in 2011, my spiritual growth, as well as leading others has impacted me greatly.
Morgantown Faith Center
Revival Fellowship International is an extension of our Apostles, Dr. John and Rebecca Polis. Having been with them for over 28 years, we can not separate one from the other. RFI has emphasized relationship and we have benefited from those relationships both spiritually and emotionally. Under RFI's apostolic covering, we have gleaned much from others and have also found that we are not alone in our endeavor to serve Christ, lead people and grow in our faith. Through RFI, we have connected with other ministries and ministers that have challenged us, fed us and imparted spiritual gifting in to our lives. Our connection with RFI introduced us to the mission field and the 5-fold ministry truths of the Bible in a greater way. We are grateful for the covering and growth RFI has afforded us. We look forward to what the Lord has in store for us as we stand together with Revival Fellowship International.
New Life Church
RFI is family to us. Dr. John and Dr. Rebecca have become our beloved spiritual parents. We so look forward to the annual conference and other events throughout the year when we get to connect with and spend time with the RFI family. Since we, and our church, have joined RFI, we have grown tremendously--both numerically and spiritually. We get much encouragement and knowledge which enable us to be better pastors and have a more fruitful ministry. Thank you, Dr. John and Dr. Rebecca and all of our RFI family! We love and honor you.
RESTORE! Ministries & Living Waters Fellowship
A Foundation of Faith that has encouraged us, corrected us, challenged us, and equipped us to 'fight the good fight of faith' in love, perseverance, and power. A Family of Faith that has supported us in every circumstance.

Majka Burhardt
How many times have you gotten turned around in your life and had to put everything back together? Majka shows us that when we are mired in the unknown it can be hard to keep pushing forward. Instead of giving up on Legado when so many people told her it was too complex, or too optimistic, Majka said, "Nope, I'm going to keep going with this because this really valuable to me and this is what I believe in." The path is not always easy when you're trying to do something that has never been done. Majka tells us how she made her vision a reality.

PORTLAND, Maine — Gov. Paul LePage continued a forceful defense of his policy agenda Tuesday in Portland, a largely Democratic city where most of LePage's ideas find stiff opposition.
That did not soften the governor's tone, or his convictions.
"I'm not here to persuade you or to convince you to agree with what I am doing," said LePage at the University of Southern Maine's Abromson Center auditorium. "What I'm here to tell you is what I'm doing and why I'm doing it."
LePage clearly had numerous supporters in the audience and was cheered on several occasions, but as the scheduled hour-long event stretched to nearly 90 minutes, exchanges between the governor and the audience grew increasingly tense.
During a discussion about how to fight Maine's growing heroin problem, which is sure to be in focus when the Legislature convenes in January, LePage saw his strongest push-back of the night.
"We spent $76 million on treatment in 2014," said LePage in response to questions from the audience. "You can go up to $150 million and you're not going to solve the problem. … I think that's a disproportionate share of money spent on trying to treat and the success rate is very low."
An audience member shouted "Does drug treatment work, Mr. Governor?"
"Not with heroin," said LePage, who then doubled down with a criticism of Narcan, a substance used to revive addicts who have overdosed.
"Narcan is not saving lives. It's extending lives," said LePage, who said he has seen data that 90 percent of heroin users eventually die as a result of their addiction.
Though the Legislature allocated money for four new agents earlier this year, LePage has said repeatedly that he will call on the Maine National Guard unless lawmakers promise to fund 10 more agents. Lawmakers from both parties have insisted that more resources for treatment and recovery services be included.
Senate Minority Leader Justin Alfond, D-Portland, said after the event that legislative leaders have been working on a package in recent days at the State House and that there are a half-dozen bills involving drug addiction that are awaiting legislative action.
Pressed by reporters, Alfond said he expects most lawmakers will likely support LePage's call for 10 new agents.
"It will happen," said Alfond.
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, issued a statement late Tuesday announcing that legislative leaders will hold a media event Wednesday at the State House to discuss their latest comprehensive plan to deal with Maine's spike in heroin deaths.
Senate President Mike Thibodeau, R-Winterport, sent a letter to LePage on Tuesday, expressing optimism that the Legislature could find funding for the additional drug agents LePage seeks, despite the fact that LePage had declined offers to meet in person with Thibodeau for months.
LePage continued to offer withering criticisms of some legislators — including calling Alfond a sellout — about one-third of whom he said are essentially dead weight who vote the way they are told to vote.
"They're told how to work and how to vote. Bad people," said LePage. "I'm not an unreasonable manager. I'm just a very tough negotiator. I've not met anyone in Augusta who is willing to sit and negotiate."
Alfond said voters deserve more than LePage's "baseless insults" of lawmakers.
"I've always tried to take the high road, to seek collaboration with the governor, even as he peddled division," said Alfond. "But to suggest I don't represent my constituents first and foremost is beyond the pale."
A question from the approximately 300-person audience about the Land for Maine's Future bonds ratcheted up the tension again. LePage has been saying for months that he will refuse to authorize the sale of $11.5 million in voter-approved conservation bonds unless the Legislature agrees to spend $5 million in revenue from timber harvests on public land for a home-heating program for low-income Mainers. Last month, LePage freed up $2.2 million that the program already had on hand.
On Tuesday, LePage said the heating program is only one piece of the puzzle. He said that conservation bonds, which fund the Land for Maine's Future program, are gouging taxpayers.
"I'm not going to sign off on a bill that's going to give 164 acres to a town and two people are going to make a half million each," said LePage, who did not specify which project he was talking about. "That's gouging the taxpayers. I won't do it. It's corrupt."
One audience member asked which industries LePage sees as promising in terms of Maine's economic future, to which he replied aeronautics, machining, biotechnology and education. He suggested that the state's blueberry and lobster industries could find vast new markets in other countries, such as China.
"We just need to market ourselves a little better," he said. "We need to be a little bit more willing."
Alfond said he was pleased that the governor came to Portland but disappointed in his tone and what the Democrat claimed to be factual inaccuracies.
"There was so much misuse of facts. He doesn't even know that there are 186 people in the Legislature," said Alfond, referring to two statements by LePage about there being 181 lawmakers. "The governor uses these words because they poll very well, but they only tell part of the story. The Legislature looks at the whole story."

bonjour :)
enjoying these 3 snow days in a row...
i promise promise promise this is the last of the polyvore.
quick shoutout to www.vscupcakecouture.blogspot.com
she's one of my favorite gurus, and thank you so much for following me here :)
please go check her out:
anyways, this is going to be a post on how to flatter rectangular shapes.
if you're a rectangle, you normally have a chest and hips that are the same size, without a defined waist. you also have toned arms and legs.
Untitled by love.is.the.movement featuring Converse shoes
(links to each item can be found by clicking on the set, which will take you to the polyvore page, where the links are in the side bar)
steal the look:
lace cami- $16 at wet seal
gray cardigan- $19 at wet seal
skinny jeans- $45 at delias
high top converse- $45 at zappos.com
tote bag- $13 at forever 21
ring- $16 at american eagle outfitters
cluster necklace- $8.50 at pac sun
seriously- i use this cami everywhere! probably because it has a cut that's universally flattering...the buttoned cardigan helps to add some definition to your midsection, while the necklace draws attention into a v-shape, if that makes any sense. the skinny jeans flatter your legs, while the converse are a great go to shoe.
Untitled by love.is.the.movement featuring Forever21
steal the look:
black ruffled tunic- $18 at forever 21
black and gray heels- $60 at aldo shoes
silver slouchy hobo- available at select H&M stores
miso lace leggings- $27 at republic.co.uk
twinkle bobby pins- $3.80 at forever 21
this outfit is a little more dressy than the first one. the tunic can be worn a million different ways, and it's a flattering fit because it kind of slouches over your top half, so it doesn't matter that there isn't much definition up there. the heels help to elongate your legs, while the leggings keep you warm.
Untitled by love.is.the.movement featuring Bullhead jeans
steal the look:
skinny jeans- $40 at pac sun
floral tunic- $19 at forever 21
metallic sandals- $30 at american eagle outfitters
golden leaf earrings- $6.50 at old navy
peace cuff- $13 at delias
this is a cute casual look that's perfect for the summer. i think i've said before how flattering the empire cut is on any body type- it creates the illusion of curves, even if you don't have any. the big earrings carry the attention up, towards your face, while the shoes keep some interest near your feet. whoa did that sound weird, or what? interest at the feet. ha.
i think i should probably go now....

Needed: Your Input on Cane Ridge Elementary Rezoning
The Cane Ridge Cluster is overcrowded and still growing. In particular, Cane Ridge Elementary School is severely overcrowded. The school was built for a capacity of 830 students. However, there are over 1,000 students currently enrolled, so the school is using eight portables as classrooms to meet student needs.
To fix this, Metro Schools is planning for a new elementary school nearby that will relieve overcrowding by moving students into the new school, possibly for next school year. The new school would be built for around 800 students, and the zoning plan would move 500-550 students out of Cane Ridge Elementary and into the new school. This would leave room for future growth at both the new school and Cane Ridge Elementary.
District officials met with Cane Ridge families in May to get their initial feedback on the rezoning plan, but officials have not yet finalized the proposal. They are coming back to Cane Ridge Elementary to share the draft proposal with families before they present these recommendations to the Board of Education. The Board has final say in zoning decisions, but district officials are seeking another round of input from parents and community members before this final step in the process.

Date: Thursday, August 25, 2016
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Cane Ridge Elementary School

My next shipment of yarn from the Sundara Seasons Club (Autumn) showed up the other day. One hank of silk lace in "Mahogany over Marmalade," 1000 yards, 100 grams, a gorgeous, shiny blend of rich copper, russet, and golden hues.
I took this picture indoors and it came out too dark.
The ones outside came out better, but a little too light.
I'll have to keep trying.
Now, I posted before about the feeding frenzies inspired whenever Sundara's yarns are posted for sale. I just got an email from her about how they're going to try to remedy this: by going subscription-only, and making it impossible to buy just a single skein.
"Below you will find as much information as we currently have on the first three yarn Collections Sundara Yarn will be offering in the next few months. There are LOTS of details here, so you may want to read through this carefully.
Please note:
- The price of these Collections reflects an increase to the cost of sock yarn, now $25/skein and aran silky merino, now $32/skein.
- These are just the first of many new Collections. If these are not quite right for you, we suggest waiting to subscribe, as new Collections will be opened monthly.
- All of this information, plus photos, will be on the Sundara Yarn website shortly.
- We are doing our best to meet the demand of several thousand of you, with only a few of us. With this in mind, we are requesting that you hold off asking us questions until we post this information on the website, as we've got a lot to get done in the next few days.
Sundara, Avery, Carol and Mikaela
Sundara Yarn Sock Collection
This Collection is for sock yarn only and all selections will be shown on the website so subscribers know exactly what they will receive. There will be five color groupings from which to choose. Some colors are new, we will post these photos to the Sundara Yarn website before sign ups open.
Sign ups open on September 15.
12 skeins of sock yarn in 4 mailings over 12 month subscription.
$28/month, slightly more for shipping to Canada and internationally.
Mailings are in early December, early March, early June, and early September.
Color Groupings:
Mailing One: Orchid, Granite Falls, Celestial Skies
Mailing Two: Daffodil, Robin's Egg, Candied Chrome
Mailing Three: Blossom, Sky, Lemon Chiffon
Mailing Four: Tickled Pink, Pale Sky over Sugared Violet, Crème de Menthe
Mailing One: Black over Violet, Charcoal over Blue Lagoon, Evergreen over Lime
Mailing Two: Graphite, Ivy, Caribbean
Mailing Three: Black, Ruby Port, Eggplant
Mailing Four: Arabian Nights, Midnight Meadows, Green Olive Tapenade
Mailing One: Brown Sugar over Buttermilk, Wine, Bronzed Forest
Mailing Two: Autumn Rose, Prickly Pear, Plum
Mailing Three: Bronzed Sienna, Basil over Buttercup, Ember over Flame
Mailing Four: Spiced, Mahogany over Marmalade, Green Tea
Mailing one: Winter Skies, Grape over Grey-Violet, Marina over Icicles
Mailing Two: Viola, Sour Apple, Crushed Cherries
Mailing Three: Raspberry, Blooming Fuchsia, Mint Julep
Mailing Four: Lilac, Delphiniums, Glacier
Mixed Palette
Mailing One: Pine over Gold, Cobalt over Mediterranean, Grass
Mailing Two: Thriller, Crimson, Tuscan Rose over Lemon
Mailing Three: Sunshine, Guava, Jungle Boogie
Mailing four: Honeyed Hibiscus, Blush, Toasted Orange over Pistachio
Each color grouping will be mailed at different times, so shipping cannot be combined for different color groupings, only for multiple subscriptions of the same color collection. For example, if you want to subscribe to the Warm grouping and want additional skeins, you can choose to receive 2 skeins of each Warm color for a total of 6 skeins each mailing and any other color groupings would be mailed separately. There will be an option to double or triple your subscription in any one color grouping selection but no more than 3 subscriptions will fit in one box so we are limiting subscriptions to 3 in any one color grouping.
Artist's Choice Sock Yarn Collection
This Collection is sock yarn only and all colorways will be unplanned and done in limited runs of 10 skeins a batch. Subscribers will choose from three color groupings. Colors within those color families will be developed by Sundara and in the spirit of creativity, surprise and spontaneity, subscribers will not chose specific colors.
Sign ups open on September 15.
3 month subscription for 3 different skeins of sock yarn in 1 mailing sent out in early December.
$28/month, slightly more shipping international and to Canada.
3 color groupings: warm, cool and mixed palette.
Warm colors: red, orange, yellow, green, brown
Cool colors: green, blue, purple, blacks, pinks
Mixed palette: all colors possible
There will be an option to add 1 skein of each color to your subscription for combined shipping within each color grouping. For example, if you subscribe to the cool colors and want 2 skeins of each color, you can subscribe to receive 2 skeins of each color for a total of 6 skeins. Each color grouping will be mailed at different times, so shipping cannot be combined for different color groupings. This 2 skein limitation is due to the high variability of colors within each batch of this yarn.
Sweater Collection
Opens on October 15 for subscriptions.
9 month subscription.
Aran Silky Merino (ASM) will be mailed in January.
DK Silky Cashmere (DKSC) will be mailed in March.

2) Marina over Icicles ASM, Mint Julep DKSC, Viola FSM.
3) Green Tea ASM, Plum DKSC, Ember over Flame FSM.
4) Black over Violet ASM, Graphite DKSC, Wine FSM.
Our apologies, but multiple subscriptions will not be combined for reduced shipping.
DK Silky Cashmere is a new yarn base. Each skein is 160 yards and 55 grams 4-ply 55% silk and 45% Mongolian Cashmere. It knits at 4.75-6 stitches per inch on US 3-5/3.25-3.75mm needles. Hand wash, tepid water. $40/skein."
I'm surprised by this decision, and a little dismayed. This yarn was never cheap, but it's really quite a lot to expect anyone who wants to get their hands on some Sundara to commit to a $90 purchase at minimum. I suppose it's better for them than trying to deal with the frustration of countless users clicking "buy" and crashing their website, then posting angry, disappointed diatribes about how they would never be able to get their hands on Sundara yarn and how unfair it was that other people owned more than one skein and hadn't left any yarn for everyone else. But it shuts out a lot of potential buyers.
Also, I think there's kind of an embarrassment of choice in the color groupings. I'm sure I'm not the only person whose eyes started to glaze over trying to picture the different combinations of color + base yarn in each group; and ultimately, I think the huge selection of choices may be detrimental.
I read this book recently, The Paradox of Choice, that talked about the pitfalls of providing too many choices (and Rahul blogged about the same topic here). People will just shut down if you give them too many choices. Faced with trying to maximize the value of their decision, they'll end up agonizing over their choices for so long that they wind up completely paralyzed and buy nothing.
There have been studies done that show this. At a gourmet taste test, people given twenty-four different jams to sample were far less likely to actually buy a jar of jam than people given only six choices. This seems counterintuitive–with twenty-four to choose from, wouldn't you be more likely to find something that suits your palate perfectly? But it's too many. People don't like to make those decisions.
Even one choice too many can have serious consequences. In another study, physicians were given a case study and asked if they would, in this case, prescribe a certain medication or refer the patient to a specialist. Almost 75 percent said they would prescribe the medication. When asked to make a choice between two medications and a specialist, the percentage of physicians who prescribed either medication went down to less than 50 percent. The decision got pushed off onto someone else.
The book also draws a distinction between "maximizers" and "satisficers"–people who try to extract the maximum possible value from every decision, and people who go with the first thing that meets their basic criteria and stop thinking about the decision afterwards. Guess which group winds up better off empirically? But guess which group is happier? The more choices you lay out, the more second-guessing your customers may wind up doing, and the less satisfied they're likely to be with their choice in the end. I certainly agonized a lot about which Season to choose (though I'm very happy with my choice of Autumn so far.)
Who knows, maybe all the rules are off with hand-dyed yarns in high demand. Maybe they're in a tulip-like bubble and nobody cares so long as they can buy them. We'll see how this whole subscription thing goes–I'm in a couple of Sundara groups on Ravelry and have been reading the reactions with great interest.

Goldwyn brings 'Paris' to U.S.
EmptySamuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the U.S. rights to Cedric Klapisch's "Paris," starring Juliette Binoche.
The film, which premiered this month at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Rendez-Vous With French Cinema, was written and directed by Klapisch and produced by Ce Qui Me Meut's Bruno Levy. It is slated for release in the fall.
"Paris" features interconnected stories of characters taking a deeper look at how to live their lives. It also stars Romain Duris, who plays a young Parisian diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that changes the way he sees everyone around him.
Fabrice Luchini, Albert Dupontel, Francois Cluzet, Karin Viard, Melanie Laurent, Gilles Lellouche, Zinedine Soualem and Julie Ferrier also star.
The film, which opened Feb. 20 in France, has made a strong showing at the French boxoffice. It marks the sixth collaboration between Klapisch and Duris.
" 'Paris' works on every level," said Peter Goldwyn, vp acquisitions at Samuel Goldwyn Films. "It is a beautifully told story with an exceptional cast, including the city itself, which has never looked so radiant and compelling onscreen."
The deal was negotiated by Goldwyn with StudioCanal's Saya Huddleston on behalf of the filmmakers.
Other sales at Unifrance's 13th annual Rendez-Vous With French Cinema, which wrapped its 10-day run Sunday, included Claude Miller's "A Secret" to Strand Releasing, Eric Guirado's "The Grocer's Son" to Film Movement and Richard McGuire's "Fear(s) of the Dark" to IFC.

I was looking in my closet just now and I realized something.
I have more shoes than sneakers.
It's the first time in my life this has ever happened. It definitely happened in the last year at a certain point. It might have been my journey into entrepreneurship that prompted it. Or it might have simply been a natural evolution of feeling older, or wanting my clothes to feel appropriate of how my age feels to me.
For whatever the reason, the amount of sneakers in my closet is now a fraction of an otherwise bloated amount of shoes.
The same thing started happening with pants this year as well. While I don't think my love of my jeans will ever fade (that might be a pun) I do know that there was time when all I wanted to wear was jeans, and now, sometimes I want a different kind of pants.
On the surface, this might all seem very superficial (if surface observations can be anything but) however, it all speaks to something larger and more prevalent I've noticed in my life recently:
The amount of grey.
I had a social studies teacher who told us about an interaction he had with a hippie once that went something like "Not everything is black or white man, sometimes it's just greyyyyy."
It's something I've always embraced mentally since the first time I heard it, it spoke to a sentiment that had been present in me for a bit of time at that point.
And it's that same grey that I'm realizing in several capacities as I get older.
For much of my life, being comfortable has meant finding the perfect outfit that I feel most comfortable in. For as much as clothes can make the man, I have hoped so hard for clothes to make me into something more than I've felt.
I have, for much of my life and even today, hoped that whatever I draped on the outside would alter the state of feelings for the better on the inside.
Many times it works.
It's amazing how a new pair of shoes or a well fitting shirt can do for posture and confidence.
The shame of it is we aren't allowed (via cultural norms) to just stick with the one thing that works for us and wear that for the rest of our lives.
For some fashion designers it works, but fashion designers get away with a lot.
There's a comedian who talks about why people's hairstyles stop changing as they get older. He says it's either the hairstyle of the last time that person got laid, or the last time some significant event happened in their life.
My style, and my hairstyles have varied greatly throughout my life. I have neither the time, nor the memory capable of recounting for you all of the interesting choices I have made to my appearance over the last 20 or so years.
And that's not what this is about either.
What I find interesting, and what I've been thinking about lately, is how for much of my life, what I put on the outside was very much a reflection of how I wanted to believe I felt on the inside.
And in the last couple of years, most significantly the last year, that has reversed.
I have readily embraced the amalgam of very significant emotions and feelings I experience and the way I want the way I dress now to reflect that, not determine it.
The great folly of our lives is that we think we are always almost arriving at a destination when we will no longer have to think so hard, work so hard, or change who we are.
The most intuitive of us, the people I like to spend time around, have made peace with the idea that we are always in a state of arrival at a destination that is always moving away from us.
So much of my life has been spent thinking, "If I could only just ____ then I would _____." Needless to say any time that blank happened, another blank was born in my mind or my heart or in the belly of my relentless cosmic indigestion.
My recent arrival at 30 was preceded by a tremendous amount of introspection and time spent alone contemplating what 30 meant to me and what is would mean going forward.
Many popular news outlets propagate social media with stories from successful individuals who speak of 30 being the time when individuals finally, FINALLY, can embrace themselves, who they are, and who they want to be.
And in a lot of ways I think that's true.
What interests me about my life, and my life moving forward, is being able to gradually let go of the things that are no longer necessary and grabbing ahold of those things that fill me, that fill my cup.
But here is what I am also realizing:
What fills my cup today, might not fill it tomorrow. And while having a closet full of beautiful lace-ups that I can wear to meetings, that make me feel more adult than I have ever felt, is fun, it is by no means permanent.
Shoes, like the support they give, are ephemeral, as are pants, as are so many of the things we fill our lives with. And while I'd love to look at my closet and think, man, I'm good on shoes for the rest of my life, thank god I'll never have to think about those again…
It's just not true.
And that's where the grey lies. The in-between in which we exist is filled with so much that requires observation and thought. And that is exhausting, sometimes overwhelmingly so. But I have started to come to terms with it (started, just barely started) and there is both a fear and comfort in that, that this is the way forward.
The future will be filled with more options, and more choices, and countless shoes. And that is perfectly ok because for me, for any of us, a destination is a virtual impossibility without death.
For as much as the grey can suck sometimes, it's also infinite in it's potential, in what it provides, and what it allows us to be.
And that is beautiful.

Foster was on another Twitter night rampage talking stupid shit as usual! She was drunk and was venting because she's possessed with negativity, hate, and jealousy.
Last night, Foster said that you should make sure that what you're doing is legal so that the cops can help you. Is this why Foster will never go to the cops for help? Because she knows that they'll investigate her as well as whoever she reports? Foster has created dozens of fake Twitter accounts to harass people, she cyber bullies people on her websites & the dirty.com and other sites that can be traced to her, she violates DMCA/copyright laws, she harasses people's families, she violated the protection order that the Randazza's had on her on a daily basis, and she also has recently violated her court mediation agreement with Tristan Stadtmuller by tweeting him directly from her fake account(s).
Yes, Foster will NEVER EVER get the cops on anyone because she knows that they'll investigate her as well and Foster had been violating both civil and criminal laws. She says that she files FBI reports and police reports against people, most recently with Serenity Haze, but we all know that Foster is unable to provide any official reports and any identification of the police and FBI who took the report.
We're all still waiting, Fostard!
