So upon surviving the line we made it upstairs where we could see why the wait was so long, it was packed out. Our friendly waiter seated us by a window bench and gave us the menus to look at at and of course we said yes to the question it asked. Un Tequilla..Duh.?
The tacos were soft and packed with flavour. They really didn't last long, a blink and they were gone. The chorizo was a favourite and of course had to have a bit of extra kick added. The habanero sauce available may seem like a good idea at the time; lets just say I'll leave it at that.
Now one dish that everyone needs to try is the Elotes Callejeros 'Street Style' chargrilled corn, queso, chipotle mayonnaise & lime. ($4.50) Wow. The flavour hits you the minute you take your first bite. Squeeze the lime all over one of these bad boys and you are taken to another place. Hands down we could've eaten these for the whole night. Such a simple dish yet so good. The grated cheese, the little kick of spice, the sweet juiciness of the corn really makes this a standout. Even our waiter said that no visit to Mamacita is complete without this dish and is one of the many reasons as to why people line up.
Helado de Maiz $6 - sweet corn ice cream in a cone with caramelised popcorn just sounded too good not to order. The corn ice cream was fantastic, not overly sweet and topped off with caramelised popcorn just made it one of the best ice creams ever. They should start selling tubs.

Release Date: January 1st 2004
From: Getting Around
Performers: Erik Martins, Roberto Vista
Martins comes home and Vista takes good care of him, feeding his fat prick deep into his mouth. Martins makes the most of Vistas sweet ass, plowing him in six different positions before letting his lover lick the cum off his spent cock.
Today we welcomed two more cast mates to our porn camp in Barcelona. Spanish fashion model, and our own hardcore gay porn stud, Maikel Cash and sexy Latino power-bottom Leonardo Lujan! These two hit it off immediately. We loved to watch their chemistry take off before the cameras started to roll. But like I said before, we are in a house full of hot horned-up guys so it's never just a two-some around here. Watch as Maikel Cash takes photos and a surprise "fluffer" comes in to gag down his thick uncut cock! Click here to watch! Click here to watch the video and find out who is the "fluffer" of Spanish Seductions!
In the opening scene, hot-to-trot newcomer Andreas Montero, just arrived in New York, scans a local gay rag for sex ads. At the gym, he runs into Anthony Ferrat, who turns out to be his neighbor. After Andreas leaves, Ferrat has a wild session in the gyms hot tub with hairy-chested Mitch Ryder. Smooth, lean Ferrat rides Ryder's cock all across the tiles.
Meanwhile, Montero arrives at a sex party hes found through his magazine. Surrounded by eight studs, he is stripped of his clothes and brought into the action. By the end of the scene, he has sampled most of the cocks in the place, including two at once in a hot double-fuck.
After leaving the orgy, the insatiable Montero stops by a hotel where he meets up with some friends from California: blond Scott Townsend, goateed Enrico Vega and stubbled Lucas Entertainment regular Johnny Davis. Soon, Davis and Montero are kissing on the bed while Townsend and Vega take turns poking their pretty young butts.
Montero and Ferrat finally meet up again and go to a local bar, which turns out to be empty except for a skin-headed bartender, Erik Martins, who has just finished taking a piss. Montero and Ferrat team up on Martinss dick, then fuck each other on the bar before Martins gets his chance with both of them.
There are plenty of hot guys in 'Getting Around,' including one all-out orgy followed by a foursome, and then that is followed by a threesome! It's a rare treat that so many muscled bodies and hung uncut cocks are featured in a Lucas Entertainment film, and here we see all of the men reaching their climax and squirting their hot, sticky cum for each other. Fans of man juice will not want to miss this cumshot review from 'Getting Around'!
Unfortunately for us, Roberto is a very successful hairdresser in SoHo, and that career has taken precedence over the one in front of the camera. Fortunately for us, we discovered and got a few good movies out of him before he quit the business! Michael Lucas describes Vista as a "beautiful, dirty, cum-eating pig with a big, uncut dick who LOVES to fuck and get fucked." Reviewers used to give him praise, exclaiming, "Sex has a new name, and his name is Roberto Vista!" We would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with this versatile cutie again someday!

In Death Takes a Holiday, a gently funny, philosophical (though underwritten) 1920s-era play by Alberto Casella, and the inspiration for the 1998 film Meet Joe Black, the Grim Reaper doffs his shroud for a three-day lark to uncover the human experience — and falls in love.
Whether from discomfort with the play's more existential elements or anxiety over its subtle pacing, Tom Eubanks' production now playing at the Santa Paula Theater Center opts for camp over comedy. Both the production and its audience would be better served by a more nuanced approach.
In a 1930s Italian villa, a large party gathers for a weekend. The son of a duke (TJ Mora) is engaged to marry the lovely Grazia (Jennifer Ridgway), but his ethereal fiancée remains reluctant to set a date. At opening, what should have been a lethal car accident has mysteriously left everyone unscathed. Then saunters in Death (Eric Mello), who confronts the duke (Gary Cunial) and lays out his demands for a staycation: he shall be treated as a mortal; he is not to be trifled with; no one shall know his secret. All living creatures will meanwhile enjoy a reprieve from decay.
Here we get into trouble. The script's rather dull first half gets bogged down with dialogue-heavy ensemble scenes. No wonder the story was streamlined for Hollywood; Casella's script is rife with thinly written characters whose connections to each other stay hazy. The cast does its best to fill these gaps, but few Americans can pull off a credible Italian accent, and only Cunial manages it successfully.
Then, in an apparent attempt to punch up the action, Death's entrance gets a cape-swishing, Scooby Doo villainy. There is humor written here, certainly. But Mello goes so over the top, either due to faulty direction or misguided instincts, that he seems to be channeling an enraged Christian Bale — with gravelly voice to match. Entertaining, but probably not in the way intended.
Luckily, things turn around in the second half. Accents are downplayed, and Mello in human form, as a Russian prince, has a bemused, pleasing air more befitting his station. It's then that his reputation as a ladies' man and his seduction of Grazia hit full-tilt.
Cunial does a fine turn as the conflicted master of the house, and Vivien Latham is elegantly distraught as Grazia's mother. Best of all is Ridgway herself, whose willowy looks are accentuated by Barbara Pedziwiatr's costumes and perfectly suited to the dreamy, fragile heroine.
I won't spoil the ending, which both surprises and invites reflection. The play's strongest moments involve the prince's earnest, all-too-human quest for understanding. Throughout, he aches for someone to look past his surface charm and accept his true nature. If only we as an audience had been trusted to do so.
Death Takes a Holiday, through Dec. 23 at the Santa Paula Theater Center, 125 S. Seventh St., Santa Paula, 525-4645 or www.santapaulatheatercenter.org.

Ever wonder what the world looks like through a pair of an angel's eyes? Well we don't know, but we do know what it will look like through BMW Angel Eyes. After installing it for our customer's 2008 BMW E92 335i, he was kind enough to lend it for some snapshots. These BMW Angel Eyes aren't your typical halogen headlights that come with your BMW. These are powered by LED. But what makes LED so special?
Well for starters, LED Angel Eyes look are brighter and have different colors than halogen headlights. Compare the BMW's Angel Eyes to the lights on top of our iJDMTOY.com sign. LED Angel Eyes offer a Xenon White color. The cooler tone adds a sleek and modern appearance. With brighter output, the cool color becomes even more noticeable.
Is brighter is better? BMW Angel Eyes can be so useful on the road at night. With the help of LED Angel Eyes you might be able to avoid those darn possums or cats running into the streets at night. Because who wants to clean up guts off their tires and bumper?
Okay so LED Angel Eyes are brighter. What else makes it so special? Well they also consume less energy. It sure sounds like a win both ways; brighter and more energy efficient. BMW Angel Eyes will most likely last till your BMW expires. I don't see any disadvantages of owning LED Angel Eyes. I suppose owning a pair isn't exactly free, but it's definitely a smart upgrade you can make for your BMW.

This past Monday July 9th, we hosted the second annual #BBSMBchat Twitter chat. Once again we were joined by small business experts and founders of the Small Business Influencer Awards, Ramon Ray and Anita Campbell. I know that I speak for Ramon and Anita as well as myself when I say that once again the participants impressed us with their insight, advice and knowledge. The chat was a huge success because of the insights that you, the SMB community, shared. I want to personally say thank you so much to everyone who participated!
This year, our chat focused on how running a small business has changed in the past decade. The questions highlighted past challenges and successes that small business owners have faced over the years and focused on current obstacles and achievements involved in running a small business today. The chat had over 100 participants who tweeted more than 700 tweets with the #BBSMBchat hashtag during the chat and over 900 tweets throughout the entire day! What really made me happy to see is that over HALF of the participants were tweeting from BlackBerry® devices! It's great to know that some of you didn't have to be sitting behind a desk or at a computer, and that your BlackBerry device enabled you to participate from wherever was most convenient for you.
I want to share some of my favorite answers to a few of the questions, but I urge each of you to search the hashtag and check out the entire chat again. With so many tweets, the chat was hard to keep up with and I know that I saw a lot of new tweets that I had missed when I went back to reread the conversation. Again, thank you to everyone who participated. The small business community has such a strong presence on Twitter®, and your peers really are your best resource.
How are the challenges of starting a new business now different than they were ten years ago?
Who are some of the people/orgs who you follow on Twitter that provide good advice to help your #smallbiz?
What influences #SMBs the most today? Was it the same ten years ago?
How has social media evolved the small business space?
Is it harder or easier to keep up with emerging trends in #smallbiz than it was ten years ago? Why?
How has the internet changed the way you stay updated about #smallbiz and your industry? What sources do you get news from?
Who do you consider to be a #smallbiz legend? Alternatively, do you know of any emerging and promising fresh faces?
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is about to start their own small business?

Bill Belichick, who has coached in five of the last 11 Super Bowls, is either the sharpest mind in the NFL or the luckiest man in America. He is the football version of Ryan Seacrest, who is either the savviest personality in Hollywood or the luckiest man in America.
Let us count the ways Belichick has been wildly fortunate in his NFL head-coaching career:
1. Most coaches would not even get a second chance, as Belichick did, after his four-losing-seasons-in-five stint with the Cleveland Browns from 1991-95.
2. He masterfully sidestepped the moribund New York Jets, who hired him in 2000, quitting one day after getting the job with his infamous, hand-scribbled note, "I resign as HC of the NYJ."
3. During the second game of his second season as coach of the New England Patriots, Drew Bledsoe got hurt; otherwise, Tom Brady might still be on the sideline, texting Mark Sanchez about good-looking ladies in the stands.
4. The Tuck Rule Game in January 2002, in which Brady fumbled away the Patriots' last chance against the Oakland Raiders, only to have referee Walt Coleman reverse the call via replay and reverse the course of NFL history for the next decade.
I realize that I am tuck rule-obsessed — I am no longer invited to dinner parties, for instance, largely because I inevitably bloviate about the tuck rule before appetizers are even served — so let me take a moment here to reflect in regard to No. 3 on Belichick's lucky list.
On Sept. 23, 2001, when the Jets' Mo Lewis put a hit on Bledsoe to sideline him, Belichick was a coach on the edge. He had gone 36-44 in five joyless seasons in Cleveland, was 5-11 in his first season in New England, and, at the moment Lewis leveled Bledsoe, Belichick was en route to a 0-2 start in his second season.
Brady came in, went 11-3 as a starter the rest of the way, and, aided by the unspeakable tuck ruling in the playoffs, led the Patriots to their first of three Super Bowl titles.
(Column Intermission: The Team of Destiny glass is half-full again. I missed spectacularly on the Saints and hit spectacularly on the Broncos. Thank you, Peyton Manning. He's so good, he's got me in line at Papa John's. Now I need Peyton to conjure up some Eli magic and give Denver a destined postseason to remember.)
Belichick is now regarded as a football genius. But without Bledsoe's misfortune and Brady's magnificence, Belichick might've been Eric Mangini before Eric Mangini, glumly sitting in an ESPN studio dispensing gridiron bromides. Instead, Belichick — with 12 straight winning seasons in New England — has become the ninth-winningest coach in NFL history.
Belichick is a great example of what I call the "Frank Sinatra Principle." The Sinatra principle states that two singers can be born on the same Hoboken, N.J., block in the same year with similar skills, but one becomes a treasured entertainment icon and the other works the Ramada Inn lounge in Fairborn, Ohio. And it is a result of luck or connections as much as talent and hard work.
As it were, Belichick and Brady last season surpassed Don Shula and Dan Marino as the winningest head coach/quarterback combo of the Super Bowl era. In fact, USA Today and Stats LLC rank Belichick-Brady as the 24th-best tandem in world history.
Here is their top 25:
1. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; 2. Batman & Robin; 3. Romeo and Juliet; 4. Lewis and Clark; 5. Tarzan and Jane; 6. Yin and yang; 7. Abercrombie & Fitch; 8. Beauty and the Beast; 9. Laverne & Shirley; 10. Abbott and Costello; 11. Laurel and Hardy; 12. Jack and Jill; 13. Jack and Coke; 14. Harry & Tonto; 15. Trinidad and Tobago; 16. Ken and Barbie; 17. Hansel and Gretel; 18. Peanut butter and jelly; 19. Simon and Garfunkel; 20. Simon & Simon; 21. Simon & Schuster; 22. Calvin and Hobbes; 23. Beavis and Butt-Head; 24. Belichick and Brady; 25. Adam and Eve.
And as Belichick enters another postseason, I am reminded of one other piece of good luck for the now-revered coach:
His team plays outdoors most of the time, so he doesn't look too ridiculous coming to work every day in a hoodie.
Q. Shouldn't Cleveland Browns fans be filing a lawsuit against the NFL right about now? The league promised an NFL franchise for the 1999 season and yet it's practically 2013 and they're still waiting. (Paul Martin; Murphysboro, Ill.)
A. They've got Brandon Weeden — that's a start.
Q. A la Lomas Brown, have you ever "whiffed on a block" journalistically to hurt a colleague? (Chris Thomson; Denver)
A. When I was working on the copy desk at The Washington Post, I once let a John Feinstein article go through unedited.
Q. What type of Kia does Blake Griffin usually drive when he goes clubbing in Los Angeles? (William Murray; Chicago)
A. I'd imagine it's got to be a stretch Kia.
Q. Isn't your scenario of an NFL team making the playoffs with a 0-10-6 record the basis behind World Cup soccer play? (Steven Seymour; Clarksburg, Md.)
A. Pay the man, Shirley.

Hello I have became a grand mother for the first time on April 9th ,2011. When my daughter gave the honor of asking me to be present at my first grand daughter birth, to me this was the greatest thing my daughter could have done for me ,I have been told by other grand mothers that even if I hadn't been asked it was my rite to be there . I asked myself a simple question , is it really? and the answer I came up with is No. As young mother everyone ( specially grand mothers on either side ) seem to think that at time they have more rite to tell the young mother what to do ,because how can they know anything its up to the old grand mothers to set them straight .Well this is to all grand mothers out there ,it is very sad that you have forgotten what a lot of you or a great number of you went through when you became mother and had to endure the abuse of those who should know better . I remember when I became a mother for the first time everyone had a different opinion on what I should do and how ,so I realize that there was only one way to deal with the problem ,it was head on . I knew that either way Some one was going to be hurt ,I was a brand new mother that was hard enough therefore I made an executive decision I spoke with my family doctor and ask him for help, he told me this is your child no one has the right to tell you what to do unless you ask for advice and when it was given then it was up to me to take or not, also my doctor reminded me that since your mother or mother-in-law had children things had changed and it was up to me to chose not them . My next question was how was I going to make them listen?. to this question he mainly answer if I could not stand up to either of the grand mother even if it was going to cause difficulties amongst the family what kind of mother was I. I went home and realized how true this was ,I called both my mother and my mother-in-law and simply told them I loved them with all my heart and wanted them to be part of my child's live because how ever many children I would have they would all need them but I was the mother and as such I would make the decision ,Therefore I would respect their advice when I asked for it ,and that I would evaluate but the final and only decision would be my . This was very hard but in the long run it was the best thing that I did because a few years after my mother in law told me that from that day on she knew that her grand children had a mother who would always stand up for her family ,So for every young mother out there It is going to be very hard to stand up to any one specially to your mother or mother-in-law but the only way to make sure that everyone understands that you with your better half are the family unite who are going to make the decision for your family the better it will be ,BUT always remember not to hurt any one because when you are asserting yourself as their mother you are not doing it to hurt but simply to create a clear understanding that everyone is welcomed and respected But YOU ARE THE PARENTS everyone else is family . The other reason that I found it so much better is that the children always know who to go to when they need answers and the problems which a great number of families face by having their children playing games between grand parents is not present . Therefore face the big problems head on at the time they happen and you will find that the future will be much happier for everyone specially for you because they will all know not to treat you as though you don't matter , but to respect you and your opinions , life is hard enough face it straight on everyone will look up to you , just remember to always respect others as you want others to respect you , I hope this will help you it did me good luck judite.
Dear Judite, I just want to say what a lucky daughter you have. I wish my own mother was as respectful as you are. I, too, love her with all my heart, but it seems that for many women, that only counts if you back down and let them have their way. I also want to say how observant your mother-in-law was to recognize your courage. So many women that I know, who are grandmothers now, have commented to me at one time or another, about how controlling their own mothers and MIL's were when they were young mothers raising babies and children. You are good to remember, and to support your daughter in raising her family by standing strong beside her, not over her. Hugs to you and congrats on your new grandbaby. Enjoy every moment! You deserve it! :)
I agree with Kristi!!! I wish you were my mother and mother-in-law!!! Both of them are twice my age (and then some) and they act more immature than my husband and I. It's ridiculous! Thank you for your response and your daughter and her husband are so very lucky to have you!!! :)

I haven't posted here in an extremely long time but I found this place back in 2003?4? when I was trying to learn about SCI after meeting who turned out to be the absolute love of my life, that once in a lifetime never ever to be found again man who turned my life upside down and inside out in an amazing way. Our son who I called ?small boy? when I joined here because he was only 2 then is now 17 and almost off to college. He is likewise devastated and neither of us can believe it.
Chad had frontotemporal dementia, an ultra rare form of dementia. It is 100% unrelated to his quadriplegia. He just plain his the total fucking shit lottery twice but didn't survive it the second time.
My entry above is my Facebook page which is private except for the few entries about chad here recently. The entry above specifically also has a link to his full obit.
We are having a radical AFTERPARTY (not funeral, not memorial service, not celebration of life) on feb 17th Raleigh NC (Cary actually but no one knows where that is). ALL welcome. Please MESSAGE ME ON FACEBOOK NOT HERE for details if you'd like to come. I don't plan to log in here frequently.
Given how active I used to be here, I thought maybe a few old timers might remember us. The page above has many recent photos if you?d like to see how we look these days. Mainly just older and greyer but small boy sure looks different.
Thank you to this his community for (mostly lol) welcoming me.

LONG BEACH >> Craig R. Smith first met former President George H.W. Bush in January of 1978. It was a Sunday morning in Houston. He had been invited to the Bush home by Karl Rove. Smith arrived in a three-piece suit.
An adviser to George W. Bush during what turned out be a failed congressional campaign, Rove promised Smith breakfast if Smith would "get out of that silly vest."
Smith drank coffee as Rove cooked.
"Barbara Bush walks in, looks at me, looks at George, and said, 'George, that man is standing there with a cup of coffee without a saucer under it, and if he spills one drop of coffee, I'm going to kill you,'" Smith recalled. "I said, 'Ma'am, I arrived at your door in a three-piece suit and if you think I'd spill anything, you're nuts.' And she laughed and George laughed. That was it. We all hit it off. He's always been my favorite client to this day. He was just so bright and such a gentleman and so smart and was interactive in the writing process."
Anecdotes like those saturate "Confessions of a Presidential Speechwriter," Smith's new book about his career as a speech writer for the likes of Bush, former president Gerald Ford and Lee Iacocca, the man who revived Chrysler in the 1980s.
The 69-year-old director of the Center for First Amendment Studies at Cal State Long Beach, where he has taught for 25 years, is a proud Republican. But what may surprise some is what few people knew about him until 1996.
The secret was summed up in a question Smith dealt with for much of his career.
"How do I cope with being gay in a Republican White House?" he said.
On and off script
The son of a Navy lieutenant commander, Smith grew up in and around San Diego mostly. He attended Sweetwater Union High School in National City where he was student body president. Smith came to terms with his homosexuality as a sophomore. In those years it was still considered a disorder by leading psychiatric associations.
"I went to the library and looked it up, and I was not happy about what it said," Smith said. "I decided I would deal with it and keep it a secret."
Smith earned his bachelor's degree in history from UC Santa Barbara before going on to receive his master's degree from Queens College of the City University of New York and his doctorate from Penn State.
As a graduate intern at Penn State, he conducted research and wrote for CBS News during the turbulent 1968 political conventions in Chicago and Miami. After earning his doctorate, Smith taught at San Diego State and the University of Virginia, while consulting for CBS News during political conventions, elections and inaugurals.
During a probationary period as a speechwriter for Ford, Smith submitted outlines for bicentennial speeches in 1976. Ford was seeking re-election against Jimmy Carter. The outlines were part of a contest Ford held. They were entered without the writers' names. Smith won.
He wrote speeches that helped Ford erase a 33-point deficit to Carter before ultimately losing the election. He recalls being 31 years old and working with a 34-year-old chief of staff named Dick Cheney.
"I came in and the first speech I was assigned was for (Ford) speaking to the Southern Baptist Convention," Smith said. "So you had me, a Catholic, writing for an Episcopalian speaking to Baptists."
Smith says the speech in Norfolk, Va., was interrupted by applause about 40 seconds into Ford's delivery.
He says he and other staffers would sit with Ford and ask him what vision he wanted to communicate to the nation. Then he would craft speeches with evidence and arguments, leading into style and tone, mindful of the president's personality.
The art of speechwriting and delivery is one Smith watches closely still.
"You're looking for what they're really good at," Smith said. "Bill Clinton is really good at having the script, but then goes off and has riffs, which drives the TelePrompTer people crazy. And Clinton is very conversational in his style. Barack Obama is a periodic speaker. What that means is, he likes to have a rhythm — of the people, by the people, for the people. He loves the prepositional phrase. He wants to be totally scripted and never goes off script. So you've got to figure all those things out when you're working with a client."
Smith, who went on to write speeches for Bush in 1988 and 1992, says the former president was skilled at delivering good speeches without a lot of preparation, but when he prepared, his delivery became great.
After Ford lost the 1976 election, Smith says he went to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he started the communications division. He also continued to consult for Bush.
In 1980, Smith worked on Sen. Robert Packwood's successful re-election campaign in Oregon and became deputy director of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Iacocca recruited Smith, who took the post as the CEO's speechwriter, making $80,000 a year in 1982. He moved to Detroit but didn't spend much time there, as then-President Ronald Reagan asked Iacocca to spearhead the fundraising effort to restore the Statue of Liberty. Smith would spend much time in New York with Iacocca, at parties attended by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone and Diahann Carroll.
"The fascinating thing with Lee was, he wanted this persona of being this working man's guy, very macho, but that's not how he is," Smith said. "He is tall, had back problems, could do The New York Times crossword in 40 minutes. My instructions were to write him as this tough guy."
In 1983, Smith created a bipartisan coalition as head of the Freedom of Expression Foundation, with the support of The Washington Post, The New York Times and heads of the major TV networks.
The foundation evolved into the Center for First Amendment Studies at CSULB.
Coming out
Smith came out of the closet in 1996, after his father died. Before, he had kept his sexuality a secret, only letting a few friends know. Smith, who says he's dated little and never had a long-term relationship, says he was celibate during the years he was involved in Republican White Houses, to avoid scandal.
Ironically, the movie "Philomena," playing in theaters now, reveals Smith wasn't the only gay man working for Bush.
The movie involves Bush's chief legal counsel Michael Hess, and his Irish mother's search for the son she was forced to give up for adoption. Hess contracted HIV in the 1980s and died in 1995.
"I knew Michael and he knew me, and neither one of us knew the other was gay," Smith said. "It's amazing."
In "Confessions of a Presidential Speechwriter," Smith's 18th book, he discusses what he sees is a GOP that has lost moderates through divisive rhetoric on social issues.
"I think they should be more into libertarian," he said. "They are catering to groups that are dangerous when it comes to civil liberties. They're dancing with the devil as far as I'm concerned."
Smith says he continued to work for Republican politicians because he found enough commonality with them, particularly on economic issues.
"I suppose there are certain litmus tests I would have for candidates, but if you agree with candidates 66 percent of the time, that's good."

The GOP's reckless stunt
The civil war that has been raging within the Republican Party is over. And now that the House has voted to shut down the government unless Obamacare is defunded, it's official: The Tea Party has won — the far right is calling the shots.
This extreme faction and its captives in the GOP are so focused on undermining President Barack Obama and his plans to boost the economy and improve access to health care for all Americans that they're willing to drive the nation over the cliff. The only question now is what car these legislators will use: Will they cause a government shutdown, force the U.S. to default on its obligations, or both?
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
This is the desperate, reckless, path the Tea Party has chosen in its attempt to defund Obamacare, a goal they've decided to pursue even if it puts the financial stability of the United States in jeopardy.
Republican Sen. John McCain acknowledged Thursday that this is " not rational," but it's clear that the Tea Party has taken control of the party — the tail is wagging the dog. Republican leaders like Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. John Boehner have caved to this faction, allowing a futile, misguided policy — defunding Obamacare — to become the centerpiece of their obstruction agenda.
They have embarked on this course despite hearing from economists, as well as from business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, that a default or a shutdown would be a devastating blow to the economy and could hurt the wellbeing of ordinary Americans. Even a brass-knuckled Republican operative like Karl Rove acknowledged, in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, that this is an "ill-conceived tactic."
( Also on POLITICO: Cruz's block-the-vote strategy)
But Republicans seem unable to listen and unwilling to heed the lessons of their own past. Americans were outraged in 1995 and 1996 when the GOP leadership shut down the government, just as voters were furious in 2011 when the party's brinkmanship on default triggered the first credit-rating downgrade in U.S. history. A CNN poll from last week shows that if the government does shut down, 51 percent of Americans will blame the Republicans, with just 33 percent blaming the president.
There is no doubt that what the American people really want is for their elected leaders to put ideology aside and forge common ground. Unfortunately, for a Republican Party that is more extreme and out of touch than ever before, this is something they're incapable of doing.
Over the weekend, Sen. Ted Cruz doubled down on his commitment to shut down the government if he and the Tea Party-controlled GOP do not get exactly what they want. Asked if we should keep the government going or continue to fight about Obamacare, Cruz said, "We should stand our ground." This is not the kind of leadership the American people are looking for.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's health-care conversion)
Obamacare is already providing tangible benefits to millions of Americans, and when the marketplaces take effect in October, they will provide access to affordable care for millions more. This is a policy that was passed by Congress, signed by the president and upheld by the Supreme Court. It is the law, and no reckless ideological stunts are going to change that.
It doesn't have to be this way. The time has come for Republicans to find a path toward the center, toward compromise, accepting the will of the American people and the sacred responsibility these legislators were sworn to uphold when they took office. We can work together to find common ground, but not if Republicans continue to allow reckless Tea Party ideologues to hold our economy hostage. Let's let cooler heads prevail and work together to move the country forward.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is chair of the Democratic National Committee. She represents Florida's 23rd congressional district.

Crime writer Michael Connelly joins the greats of the genre. Reporter Charlie Bullough speaks to the American author about his big award win, his new book and the future.
A diamond dagger seems a fitting honour for a crime writer who has iced a slew of bad guys in his hard-boiled fiction.
Michael Connelly has just received the highest honour in British crime writing for his sustained excellence and significant contribution to the genre over the last 25 years.
The creator of crusading detective Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is now the proud owner of the Crime Writers' Association's Diamond Dagger Award 2018.
Connelly takes his place alongside crime fiction luminaries like PD James, John Le Carré and Inspector Morse creator Colin Dexter.
In an interview during his latest UK book tour, the American crime-reporter-turned-author told us: "It was hard to believe they would put my name on that list. Some of the people on it I know or have known.
It's just amazing.
"You try and keep your head down and write the stories you can write and they put you on a list like that - that's really humbling."
But the veteran writer of 32 books, who has sold more than 74 million copies worldwide, is not resting on his laurels.
His latest book, Dark Sacred Night, has just been released and he is already writing his next one. He is also a watchful "guardian" over the Bosch TV series on Amazon Prime Video, and is about to launch a true crime podcast.
His new book brings together his oldest series character Bosch, 68, with his newest LA detective creation, Renée Ballard, who works the late shift (or the "late show" in LAPD lingo).
Bosch teams up with Ballard in Dark Sacred Night to probe the brutal murder of a 15-year-old runaway, a cold case which has gotten under the veteran detective's skin.
Connelly revealed at the recent Off the Shelf literary festival in Sheffield that Bosch, who ages in real time, will become Ballard's mentor as she takes centre stage as his new lead character.
But Bosch's legion of fans should not be worrying about an imminent demise.
The 62-year-old author said: "I'm not trying to wean everyone else off Bosch - I'm trying to wean myself off. He is a character who is really beloved to me and he still has stuff to say and do. But there is an ageing reality in his situation.
"So if he can be the guy behind Ballard to help her when she needs his kind of help, that will keep him for ever in my creative imagination. And we will see him from time to time in hope fully great ways."
That should be good news for former USA President Bill Clinton who is a longtime fan of Bosch. Connelly met Clinton in the early 1990s and gave him a copy of his second book. Then while still in office, Clinton was seen coming out of a bookstore carrying the third Bosch book, The Concrete Blonde.
Connelly said: "It was the dawn of the internet and still mainly print media at the time. It was also the dawn of his Clinton's scandals involving women and so forth. So I was the benefactor of lots of headlines about Clinton being with a blonde, a different woman from Hilary."
The "Blonde under his arm" puns in more than 180 newspapers helped boost the writer's profile. He added: "It always bothered me a little that people started hearing about my books and my name at the president's expense."
But Connelly isn't worried about history repeating itself with an endorsement from the current US President, Donald Trump. He said: "It won't happen because he never reads books, so I think I am safe. But it would probably be tragic if it happened."
The writer seems in no hurry to slow down. He has been heavily involved in four seasons of the Bosch Amazon series and has a watchdog role on the fifth series.
His next project is the launch of the Murder Book podcast on January 14 where he will return to his former calling as a journalist. The podcast, which Connelly views as a "new arena of journalism", tells the story of a 30-year-old Hollywood
killing that slipped off the media's radar.
He said: "It happened in 1987 when LA was engulfed in gang violence. From 1987 to 1994 the murder rate was off the charts. I was a reporter then, and there were so many gang murders we just couldn't write about them all."
The main suspect was a gang member but there wasn't enough evidence to charge him. Years later a DNA match was made, but the science isn't the story.
Connelly added: "When they finally get a DNA hit, it's this guy they've suspected all along. And when they look to find him, lo and behold he is a police officer. He went from gang member to police officer somehow, with his background slipping through the cracks. That made him a pretty formidable opponent.
It took another 13 years to bring him to trial because of his skills, and his knowledge and manipulation of the justice system. It's that manipulation that I found very interesting and we go through that in the podcast."
And Connelly is also working on a new book, The Night Fire, which should land next autumn. He also wants to add to the Lincoln Lawyer series after that.
So how does he manage to juggle all his writing, audio and TV commitments? Connelly says that his newspaper training makes him good with deadlines. He also says he surrounds himself with good production people who help set things up.
He added: "This is all pointing towards what is important to me and what my purpose is, and that is to write books. So I'm actually getting more time to do that now."
It seems Connelly will venture down Raymond Chandler's "mean streets" of Los Angeles for many years to come and continue to look at the darker side of life.
Dark Sacred Night, is published by Orion and is out in hardback now.
Michael Connelly factfile
His debut book, The Black Echo, won an Edgar award for Best First Novel in 1992.
Clint Eastwood directed and starred in the movie adaptation of Connelly's 1998 novel, Blood Work in 2002.
The Lincoln Lawyer was also made into a film in 2011 with Matthew McConaughey in the Mickey Haller role.
Connelly is the bestselling author of 32 novels and one work of nonfiction.
More than 74m copies of his books have been sold worldwide and translated into 40 foreign languages SOURCE: Michael Connelly

HOUSTON — The Houston Dynamo know to expect a little of the unexpected when they receive Toronto FC in their final Saturday night match of the regular season at Robertson Stadium.
Earlier this week, Toronto FC fired both their head coach Preki and general manager Mo Johnston. Nick Dasovic has replaced Preki in the hot seat, leaving Houston with little game film on a team hoping to forge a new identity.
Houston's players also know that a change at the top can often provide a motivating spark, so they remain wary of their weekend visitors.
"Whenever teams get new coaches, all of a sudden they go out and have a new energy and new hope," Brad Davis said. "I think they're going to come down here and try to work hard."
Toronto's new regime started on Wednesday night against Real Salt Lake in CONCACAF Champions League play. Though TFC lost 4-1, they were all over Salt Lake early in the game.
"I thought they came out flying the first 20 minutes," Dynamo 'keeper Pat Onstad said. "The result didn't go the way they wanted, but there is no reason to believe they won't come in here with confidence."
The Dynamo hope to capitalize on Toronto FC's congested schedule and busy travel itinerary. When the Reds walk off the field on Saturday, they will have played their fifth game in two weeks, and will have another game on tap for Wednesday.
"It works in our favor, but only if you take advantage of it," Kinnear said. "If we keep the ball, move the ball and have them chase the game."
For Houston to slow down the Toronto attack, they will have to keep a tight watch on former Dynamo midfielder Dwayne De Rosario, something Kinnear admits is no small task.
"We just have to pick up his runs," Kinnear said. "He makes runs from deep, so we have to be aware and make sure someone is around him at all times."
With midfielders Anthony Obodai recovering from surgery and Lovel Palmer serving a suspension, it seems likely that Geoff Cameron will be the person tasked with keeping an eye on De Rosario.
Regardless of the matchup, Kinnear has warned his team this week of the dangers presented by Saturday night's opponents.
"It's been an emotional week for them and they are still within the reach of the playoffs," Kinnear said. "If we're not ready for this team, we're asking for trouble because they have players that can beat you."

Mo. Boy Shot While Discussing Gun Safety with Dad
ST. JOSEPH (AP) -- St. Joseph police are investigating after a father accidentally shot his 11-year-old son in the cheek while discussing gun safety.
The St. Joseph News-Press reports that the boy sustained serious injuries Friday night while cleaning guns and planning a hunting trip with his father. Det. Richard Shelton says "ironically enough" the father and son were discussing gun safety at the time of the shooting.
Shelton says the projectile lodged below the boy's jaw. The boy was able to walk to the ambulance. He was taken to a St. Joseph Hospital and then flown to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
Authorities will present evidence to the prosecuting attorney for consideration of charges this week.
The name of the wounded boy wasn't immediately released.

The investment team believes that while markets are generally efficient, pricing anomalies exist and can be exploited. The team believes that, in the long run, a stock's price will ultimately converge with a company's intrinsic value, but in the short term, the market may overreact to good or bad news, resulting in price movements that may not necessarily reflect a company's fundamentals.
In the team's view, however, an attractive share price alone is not sufficient rationale for investment. The team also focuses on companies with strong and sustainable returns on capital and equity, as they believe this will help generate superior long-term returns for investors. In particular, the team seeks companies with high quality businesses, strong management track records and potential catalysts to help realize the stock's intrinsic value.
High Conviction Approach
The team builds a concentrated yet diversified portfolio (30 to 50 holdings) that is highly differentiated from the benchmark and focused on the highest conviction ideas. Seeks a profile with lower risk than the index and with more consistent returns.
Established Investment Process
Using active, fundamental, bottom-up stock selection, which is style-agnostic, the team avoids investment trends and maximize the opportunity set. They believe this approach can provide outperformance potential across market cycles.
Stable, Experienced Team
The team has over 20 years of industry experience in European equity investing and is guided by a deep understanding of the local nuances and cultural differences within the European equity markets.
Filtering and screening
The team screens a universe of approximately 600 stocks using various proprietary and external screens, with a focus on profitability and balance sheet metrics (i.e., free-cash-flow yield, ROCE, ROE and net debt/EBITDA valuations), mean reversion and absolute and relative valuations. The result is approximately 300 investment candidates that display attractive valuations, strong cash-flow generation and high returns on investment.
The team uses both internal and external research to evaluate a company's business model, capital requirements, industry structure, management quality/track record in generating and reinvesting cash-flow, and product competitiveness. As part of this analysis, the team considers economic conditions and industry trends, which may influence a stock's long-term potential.
Fundamental analysis
After the initial two stages, the team narrows down the universe to approximately 100 stocks and then conducts in-depth fundamental analysis on forecasts and financials—including discounted cash-flow analysis—to determine what they believe to be a company's "fair value." This analysis is supplemented by regular meetings with company management.

giveplay necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 202 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
We want to create a new logo for our company. We're going to trademark it so it needs to be original. It has to be line art, one color so it can be embroidered or stenciled onto lots of things. It has to contain our name. It has to be exceptionally awesome. Awesomeness is really the key to our whole company, and our logo has to express that.
We are filing trademarks and we need a new logo that is as awesome as possible, and that's original enough to trademark.
Our company makes video games--primarily for people to play on the web. A web 2.0 looking logo is one possibility. We want something cute and original!
Since the logo has to have our name "GivePlay" in it, the lettering or font is one area where you could be creative. But we are open to any original idea you have.
Here is our old logo: Click here
Special note: The winner and two top runners up will also get some awesome schwag with our new logo on it! We will send you either a t-shirt, mug, jacket, etc (our choice) as soon as we get them printed up. Be warned: If you win this contest, your popularity may increase more than you can handle. You may want to read some self-help books on how deal with your new level of coolness.
It needs to be line art (one color) so that it can be embroidered or stenciled onto things. Creative color is fine, but just one solid color.
It needs to be trademarkable (not easily confused with another video game company logo). Our trademark attorney may have a say in picking the winner from the finalists, so do a tiny bit of research on the web before you give us the Activision logo in a different color. We want you to win!
It has to contain our name, "GivePlay"
We need to know what fonts you use, if you use any. You could draw the letters yourself, of course. If you were truly hardcore you could make your own graphics tablet from parts and then use that to draw the letters.
The logo you create for us needs to be your own work, unencumbered and royalty free--if you win, you must be able to grant us full and exclusive rights to use it forever. No cribbing!
For the finished product we need a hi-res PSD or (even better) Adobe Illustrator File. But who doesn't?
Our old logo is cool, but it is a little too complex. And some people think the kid looks like a monkey. I think the kid is awesome.
Our old logo has a kid playing a game controller, but we make games mostly for people to play on the web or on their phone. So the controller gives the wrong idea. Make it abstract, or make it applicable to web games or making games.
No halftoning! Any gradients or extremely fine lines will make it difficult to print our logo on things.
Don't forget to put our name, "GivePlay" in the logo. Otherwise we can't even consider it.
Since we're showing you our old logo, don't just copy it. Do something new, please! Let the style of our old logo inspire you, but give us something new.
Don't use comic sans or times. Even if the voices tell you to. We already have those fonts and we tried that.

Jennifer J. Scott
Age: 58
Occupation: Professional musician and licensed clinical social worker
When did you become interested in music?
I started playing guitar at age 7 — Judy Collins and Peter, Paul and Mary songs. My mother was an actress and we listened to Broadway tunes. I loved them, and still play them sometimes.
When you battled cancer, what role did music play in your recovery?
When I was diagnosed with cancer 10 years ago, I listened to my favorite CD by Kristin Hall. It empowered me to feel that I would be able to return to my love of music and performing.
How long did your recovery take?
It only took a couple of years, but I then put together a band with the best musicians and called it Jennifer Scott and the Guys from New York. Despite ongoing medical problems, I find that the joy it gives me is even greater now.
How did your health issues refocus your life?
My health issues over the past 10 years have made me want to give back more than ever. Whatever the cause may be, I am interested in raising funds or awareness. We have wonderful programs in Henderson County that desperately need funding.
Do you have any fundraisers coming up?
My main fundraiser is called "Bands for Bounty," a musical fundraiser for the Bounty of Bethlehem Christmas Day Dinner. It is the 14th year and we will hold it on Friday, Dec. 6 at Hannah Flanagan's from 6 until 10 p.m.
You're a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in Hendersonville. What do you enjoy about that line of work?
I really enjoy helping others. I got that drive when I worked for Head Start as a teenager. I have really devoted my career to the service of others less fortunate.
Where are you playing these days?
I presently play music at The Green Room downtown. We play everything from jazz to the Beatles, with a lot of '60s and '70s music. I have released five CDs with my one band, Jennifer Scott and the Guys from New York, and a few CDs with my other band, B.B. and the Chick Band, which has gotten back together recently. I sing most of the songs and occasionally play acoustic guitar on solo gigs.
What's your favorite kind of music?
My favorite songs are anything Beatles or Joni Mitchell. Being able to perform music for a good cause is the best thing I can do for this community, which I love so much.
Got A Minute? with Jennifer Scott

Show Category: Drama , Action/Suspense Theme Crime
In fictional Palm City former cop Vince Faraday is framed for murder. Believed to be dead, he takes on the persona of his son's favorite comic book superhero 'The Cape' to clear his name and reunite with his family. Together with a group of former carnies, he fights against the corrupt police, politicians, and ARK Corporation. Unlike the comics, costumed heroes and villains, such as Chess and Scales, do not have superpowers. Fearless investigative blogger Orwell joins in the fight not just with words, as she tends to get violent. The Cape comes from Universal Media Studios and the producing team of Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.

Originally posted in 2009; worth a repost. To all our veterans out there, thank you for your service.
Veterans Day, I'd like to salute my dad, his four brothers and one of
his sisters for their service to our country. All five of the Hall
brothers of Sulphur,
Louisiana, served in the U.S. Navy. How they felt about their sister
serving as an Army nurse, I'm not sure, but I'll have to pose that
question at the next family gathering!
My late dad, George Hall, served as a fighter pilot in World War II in the South Pacific.
George Hall, c. 1944. Photo privately held by author.
He originally trained on dive bombers, but switched to fighters when he heard more fighter pilots were needed. He flew an F6F Hellcat from the aircraft carrier USS Hancock
in 1945, and years later, was still thrilled to see and discuss planes
he trained in or flew in the war. Kudos to our family friend who
recorded Dad's reminiscences a couple of years ago on DVD.
(By the way, Thanksgiving gatherings are a great time to record family memories! See the StoryCorps website for ideas.)
Dad was following in his older brother Bob's footsteps by joining the Navy. Robert Lee Hall (1920-2003)
was a baker and petty officer on the troop ship APA 117 Haskell during
World War II, and later on the aircraft carrier USS Boxer.
He helped set up bakeries on ships and on various Pacific islands,
including New Caledonia, New Hebrides, and islands in the Samoas and
Robert Lee Hall, 1940s. Photo privately held by author.
Uncle Bob told his hometown paper
50 years later, "I remember the terrible heat below deck in the ships'
kitchens and also in the tropical island kitchens. And sailors. I got
so tired of seeing sailors, day after day, year after year, for the six
years I was in service." The monotony was no doubt alleviated when my
aunt Martha Burch, as his fiancée, took a troop ship to meet Uncle Bob
in the Samoas, where they married and lived for a time.
John Bunyon Hall
(1923-2008) was the third Hall brother to serve in the South Pacific
during WW II. He worked in the torpedo parts room aboard the sub tender
USS Fulton. He was part of a gunner's crew that shot down two attacking enemy planes during the Battle of Saipan.
John Bunyan Hall, 1940s. Photo privately held & digitally edited by author.
other living uncles served in the Navy after World War II, and one of
my aunts was an Army nurse. To respect their privacy, I won't name them
here but will just say how proud we all are of all our relatives who
have served in the military! Happy Veterans Day!

Washington journalist Bob Woodward says independent label should help Angus King in Senate
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Washington political reporter Bob Woodward says the independent label should work to newly elected Angus King's benefit when he becomes Maine's newest U.S. senator.
The former two-term governor was elected Tuesday to replace Sen. Olympia Snowe, who didn't run because of what she calls political gridlock in Washington.
In a phone interview Thursday, Woodward said King won't carry a swing vote in the Senate, but being an independent "enhances his leverage."
He says King continues Maine's long tradition of independent senators. Although Snowe, Sen. Susan Collins and former Sen. William Cohen are Republicans, Woodward says they've all acted like independents.
Woodward will be in Waterville on Sunday to receive Colby College's Elijah Parish Lovejoy journalism award. He'll be back next Thursday to speak at the University of Southern Maine.

BOSTON (CBS) – The Boston Celtics had an 18-point lead in the first half, but the Miami Heat still had a chance to win Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on the final shot in overtime.
But Dwyane Wade's three-pointer with time expiring was no good, and the Celtics head to Miami with the series all tied at two games apiece.
For the Celtics, there may have been a little Garden magic at work.
"Red (Auerbach) wasn't going to let that go in, you know that," head coach Doc Rivers joked after the Celtics' 93-91 win. "Not in the Boston Garden."
"Words can't even describe what kind of game it [was]," said Paul Pierce, who led the Celtics with 23 points despite fouling out in overtime. "It's a funny game, you know, the way the ball bounces, the way things go. … I'm just glad I was on the winning side today."
Cedric Maxwell On Miami's Psyche:
Pierce had to watch the final attempt from the bench, as did Miami's LeBron James, who also fouled out in OT. So that left Wade to take the potential game-winner, one Rivers thought was good as it left Wade's hands.
Read: Watching James Foul Out 'Gratifying' For Pierce
"I thought it looked good when it left his hands," Rivers said of Wade's last-second attempt. "We told (Marquis Daniels to) watch the pump fake. But I thought what Marquis did was, on the pump fake, he jumped out-of-the-way, so he couldn't draw a foul. Wade is the best, him and Paul, at doing that. So he got the first part — well, Wade did — but I thought avoiding of the foul was as big as anything else."
"It was on-line," Wade said of the shot. "It was all you can ask for. I got my legs on the middle and shot it, and it was on-line, it just decided it didn't want to go in."
Wade finished the evening with 20 points on 7-for-22 shooting.
With Pierce, Boston's leading scorer, out for overtime, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo took it upon himself to rally the troops.
Read: Rondo Calls Out Heat At Half
"I told Kevin (Garnett), 'It's time,'" Rondo said following the win. "We have to take the game over. I didn't look at Ray and tell him, but he knew what time it was. At that particular time in the game, when your leading scorer goes out, you have to step up and make plays. And that's what we did as a team."
Doc, Rondo Post Game 4:
Rondo had been controlling the game for Boston anyways, playing quarterback with some magnificent passes and consistently hitting his teardrop floater. He scored three of Boston's four points in overtime and finished with 15 points, 15 assists and five rebounds.
It's Rondo's now-consistency that makes him great, says his head coach.
"He's good. That's what he is now when you think about it. He's just a good basketball player; a great basketball player," Rivers said of Rondo. "Now he's consistent, and that's when you cross the line; when you're no longer inconsistent. He's been just terrific for us."
Report: Bosh Expected Back For Game 5
The series now shifts back to Miami for Game 5 on Tuesday night. The Celtics are feeling good about themselves following the win, but they know they still have a lot of fight left.
A certain kind of fight, that is.
"We have a chance of winning this series. It's not going to be easy," said Pierce. "A good old, classic bar fight."

Antarctic Permafrost and Soils
Project Description
Antarctic permafrost forms an integral part of the terrestrial cryosphere, yet information on its distribution, thickness, age, and physical and geochemical properties is highly fragmented and absent for large sectors of the region. At the same time, active layer and permafrost conditions are increasingly recognized to be highly sensitive to climate change. Such changes can create important responses in regional hydrology, ecosystems functioning, landscape stability and human environmental impacts. At the same time Antarctic permafrost and soils archive high resolution long-term (Ma) records of past environmental change and biological activity.
The combined IPA working group on Antarctic Permafrost and SCAR expert group on Antarctic Soils, Permafrost and Periglacial Environments, in close working relationship with the IUSS cryosols group, have launched the ANTPAS project to address some of the current shortcomings and research needs. The overall aim is to develop an internationally coordinated, web-accessible, database and monitoring system on Antarctic permafrost and soils. Specific objectives are:
A common, web-accessible repository for permafrost and soils data.
The production of thematic maps on Antarctic permafrost and soils.
A system of boreholes providing data on permafrost and soils properties, records of past environmental change, and recording permafrost responses to climate change.
A well-designed monitoring system recording active layer and periglacial process responses to climate change along selected environmental gradients.
ANTPAS is an IPY endorsed activity.
