Two Evils
by Andrew Ferguson | Posted October 03, 2013
In odd-numbered years, there's rarely much at stake electorally. One of the very few races of note in 2013 is in Virginia, where the gubernatorial race pits Republican attorney general Ken Cuccinelli against former Democratic National Committee head Terry McAuliffe. Both are odious; even among loyal party-line voters there will be very few unheld noses at the polls.
It was McAuliffe, you may recall, who pulled together the funds for Bill Clinton's presidential run, reaching out to the most toxic corporations and associations — arms manufacturers, polluters, real estate shysters — for donations that would be paid off in regulatory favors down the line. It was McAuliffe, as well, who masterminded the infamous "Buddhist temple" (read: Chinese government) fundraisers for Clinton's reelection, as well as brokering face time with the president and first lady, even sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom — for the right price.
After a public falling-out with Al Gore over the latter's botched 2000 campaign (one of McAuliffe's few good points is seeing Gore for the sanctimonious hypocrite he was and always had been), McAuliffe took over at the DNC as the party received its biggest gift in years: the presidency of George W. Bush. However, despite his undeniably effective, undeniably dirty fundraising, he could not oust Bush from office. After running Hillary Clinton's 2008 bid into the ground, McAuliffe was out of national politics; "the best fundraiser in history" — as Gore himself had said in happier times — had lost his touch. Since he clearly had no intention of just going away, that left only one option: state politics.
In 2009, McAuliffe ran for governor of Virginia — though "ran" is probably the wrong phrasing; more accurate to say "fell flat on his face." McAuliffe tried to ingratiate himself with the electorate by visiting "every corner" of the state, but he was only ever going to be regarded as a creature of the DC suburbs, a potentate of the despised northern counties. McAuliffe didn't even make the general election; instead, he got thumped in the primaries by a state senator, Creigh Deeds, who would go on to lose handily to then-Attorney General Bob McDonnell.
McAuliffe pulled together the funds for Bill Clinton's presidential run, reaching out to toxic corporations and associations for donations that would be paid off in regulatory favors.
And yet, despite all of this baggage, McAuliffe is running again in 2013, and to this point with a slight lead (4 to 6% in most polls) over his Republican competitor. Certainly McAuliffe hasn't become any better of a candidate in the last four years. What could explain this shift in fortunes?
A few things. First, there is the ongoing, literal shift in fortunes toward the DC suburbs. Much of the wealth extracted by the federal government in recent decades has sloshed into northern Virginia, drawing lobbyists, bureaucrats, and other parasites who make their living off of others'. According to Forbes, half of the richest counties in America, as measured by per-capita income, lie in northern Virginia. The prosperity of these communities (not to mention their extravagant school systems, lavish pensions, and gold-plated healthcare plans) depends on the continuing bloat of the National Security Agency, the Department of Defense, and any number of other agencies situated there. They are as establishment as it is possible to be; they will support anyone and anything that maintains their privileged position — and McAuliffe is all about privilege and position.
Second, the Virginia Republicans are much weaker and more fragmented than they were last time around. In 2009, Bob McDonnell benefited from the ongoing recession, building a successful campaign around a pro-business message and, in the process, bringing the state's social conservatives (who were behind him no matter what) together with its fiscal ones. However, once in office McDonnell quickly became enmeshed in corporate kickback scandals, culminating in criminal investigations into the governor's alleged acceptance of gifts totaling upwards of $140,000. McDonnell also alienated the social libertarians among his base by breaking sharply right on several social issues, especially abortion (requiring an ultrasound prior to the procedure) and gay rights (blocking legislation extending health coverage to same-sex partners). With McDonnell blocked from running for reelection by Virginia statute — and potentially also by criminal conviction — the task of keeping the coalition together now falls to AG Cuccinelli.
Which brings me to point the third, Ken Cuccinelli himself. A true believer in the legislation of morality, Cuccinelli has never seen a moral cause he wouldn't champion. He's fought rearguard battles in favor of anti-sodomy and even anti-adultery laws, opposed any attempt to end discrimination against gays in public (note: as opposed to private) hiring, created a human trafficking taskforce with the intent and effect of cracking down on prostitution, pushed abstinence-only sex ed, and tried to give police and school administrators the power to search students' cellphones to prevent sexting.
He has also — and he wasted his own money on this, so it's in no way unconstitutional, but nonetheless telling — made up his own version of Virginia's state seal, which features the Roman goddess Virtus, a personification of virtue, wearing a tunic that leaves one breast exposed, as she stands victorious over the vanquished Tyrannus. Never mind that a single exposed breast is often taken to signify modesty — even unobtainability. Never mind that the state's own description for the seal states that Virtus is dressed in "Amazon" style; i.e., semi-robed. No, for Cuccinelli, as for all prigs, all flesh is prurient; therefore, he devised a seal with a breastplate to conceal the offending teat. If virtue is to conquer tyrants, she better do so in a PG manner.
As with any ideological conservative, Cuccinelli has his good points: he's fought against eminent domain abuse, and he's staunchly anti-tax, even leading the fight against a generally bipartisan gasoline tax increase. But stack against that his anti-immigrant stances, such as support for a "papers, please" law allowing police to investigate the residency status of any suspected illegal, as well as for language tests for laid-off workersseeking unemployment benefits. And add in also his embarrassing lawsuit against the University of Virginia relating to research performed on global climate change: Cuccinelli asserted that such research amounted to "fraud" against the taxpayers. Whatever your views on the subject, the prospect of a state's attorney general wasting huge amounts on court costs in order to meddle with university research should prove chilling, and would have provided a fearsome precedent.
A true believer in the legislation of morality, Cuccinelli has never seen a moral cause he wouldn't champion.
So Virginia's voters must choose between the DC swamp slime, and the crusading prude — and these are the images that are drilled into their heads, over and over again, during every television and radio broadcast, on every website, in every newspaper, on every street corner, on and on and on and on. Huge amounts of money assure that this saturation will only get worse: McAuliffe's taken in $20 million, Cuccinelli more than $13 million; every dollar's being put to use in shouting at voters, telling them in so many words how the other guy is a scumbag, a misogynist, a bigot, a stooge; certainly unfit to take on the job presently occupied by a(n alleged) crook, and by many other crooks before him.
And the thing is, they're each right about the other's unworthiness.Little wonder that the two are polling between 80 and 85% combined in most polls, with huge portions of the electorate undecided, or at least unwilling to commit to either one.
What's interesting is that, when Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis is included in these polls, he regularly pulls 8–10%. Sarvis' campaign has been run on shoestrings: by the end of August he'd raised about $60,000, and spent only $45,000 of it. But I'd wager that by the next count, that number will have at least doubled: Sarvis is making good use of his intermittent time in the spotlight, hovering around the showing off his photogenic family, making a case for libertarianism both socially (gay marriage, drug reform) and fiscally (anti-tax, anti-subsidy and other manifestations of crony capitalism).
Sarvis has elaborated these positions while hanging around outside the interminable statewide series of debates between McAuliffe and Cuccinelli, debates to which he, as a third-party candidate, has not been invited. But that may change. On October 24 there is a debate scheduled in Blacksburg at Virginia Tech, with a ground rule that any candidate polling 10% in "major independent statewide polls" can participate. Cuccinelli, showing himself an abject coward, has requested that this bar be raised, to make it in effect impossible for Sarvis to participate. McAuliffe, knowing full well that Sarvis will take more votes out of the Republicans' hide than the Democrats', has already signed on, and I would speculate might even provide background support to help Sarvis reach or maintain the required numbers, and then dare Cuccinelli to back out of an event that the attorney general himself requested.
I don't know what kind of debater Sarvis is, especially when placed up against two able manipulators of rhetoric. But he starts with the advantage of not being either one of them, so there's every chance his message could be heard. On the other hand, Cuccinelli could prevail, succeeding in getting Sarvis barred from the event with the usual tack of snobbish bluster. If so, then Sarvis will definitely continue to get interviews — McAuliffe will make sure of that — but will lose the chance at a live audience.
Whatever happens, Sarvis has succeeded in injecting something approaching interest into this most dire of elections. Where once the only enjoyment available was looking forward to either Cuccinelli or McAuliffe losing, and savoring the schadenfreude of the concession speech — and there still will be that; my God, how I'm looking forward to watching one or the other spit out the words of defeat while having to drum up at least the pretense of respect for his opponent — now there is also the hope that a message of freedom might make its way into at least a few new hearts and heads.

Isn't any anti-sodomy battle necessarily "rear guard"?

Great essay! This is just the kind of stuff Liberty needs -- timely, incisive and well-written (and I'm not saying that because the contributor happens to be our managing editor).

Regarding Cucinelli's lawsuit against the University of Virginia for academic fraud, such lawsuits aren't a waste of money if they deter future crimes.
Climate change research--like much academic research--has become little more than political activism and money-grubbing disguised as science.
We shouldn't blindly accept malfeasance in our state-funded universities just because the perpetrator has a PhD.

Regarding Cucinelli's lawsuit against the University of Virginia for academic fraud, such lawsuits aren't a waste of money if they deter future crimes.
The "crime" here is research that comes to a conclusion Cuccinelli dislikes. Do you like it when those who blindly believe in global warming try to get "denial" treated as crime or insanity? No? Then you should not so blindly hand the power to punish researchers for coming to unpopular conclusions over to the State. The guys you don't like might simply return the favor when they come to power. (And they are in power on a national level, right now).

I'm no expert on climate change research, so I can't speak to the strengths or weaknesses of the research in question. But Attorney General Cuccinelli is no expert either, so I don't see how this lawsuit in any way benefits the public interest, or is motivated by anything other than ideological distaste.
If the scientist in question is wrong—if climate change more generally is wrong—then the evidence will gradually overwhelm the inherent conservatism of the academy and science will adjust over time to the new paradigm. That's how the process works. Dragging it into court will only slow things down.
And sure, lots of academic research has political motivations. Why do you think antiwar sentiment was most at home in the universities? Academia should be a place for questioning conventional wisdom, and for devising ways to use the lessons of the past in dealing with the problems of the present, while anticipating the problems of the future. If any random state attorney general can foreclose that process solely because he doesn't like where those results are going, that's a very dangerous precedent that is almost guaranteed to be abused more and more egregiously as time goes by.

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > Quick Tips: Getting in Shape Without Spending Money
When you stay active, you feel better and have more energy for work and leisure time. You're more able to do the things you enjoy, like playing with children, gardening, dancing, or biking.
Staying fit helps you sleep better, handle stress better, and keep your mind sharp. It's good for your heart, lungs, bones, and joints. And it lowers your risk for heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers.
If you have heart problems or other health issues, or if you have not been active for a long time, check with your doctor before you start a new activity.
It's easy to spend a lot of money on sports and activities that help keep you in shape, but it's just as easy to get into shape and stay there without spending any money at all.
Remember to work on all three types of fitness: flexibility, muscle strength, and aerobic fitness.
Experts say to do either of these things:
These ordinary activities cost nothing and all count as aerobic activity:
If you need more structure for your exercise but don't want to spend money for a class, check out exercise DVDs from the library.

October, 2013
October 2013—Late summer and early fall were as busy as ever for us, culminating in the design and launch of two new websites over the last few weeks. Our very latest client site, which went live late this month, is for SystemExperts, an IT consulting boutique in the Boston area with a strong emphasis on security services. Meanwhile, in late August, we launched an all-new site for a venture capital client in Boston called WAVE Equity Partners. WAVE is a private equity firm that invests in sustainability technologies that have the potential to transform multiple industrial and/or geographical markets. (As advocates of renewable energy ourselves, Radar Media is particularly fond of the WAVE business model.)
What's particularly interesting about the SystemExperts site is its responsive design. Once we understood how important it was for the site to look and work equally well across all platforms–including smartphones and tablet devices–we advocated a responsive design approach. This is where the site is able to automatically re-format each page to fit the exact screen dimensions of whatever device and browser is used to access it.
Thanks to modern content management systems like WordPress and Joomla, and the increasing availability of cutting edge responsive design frameworks, responsive design is now easier to achieve than it once was.

I was messing around in the kitchen yesterday evening trying to find something quick and easy. I had some bleu cheese leftover from buffalo bacon cheeseburgers (omg) last week. I noticed that I had some mondo-potatoes in my batch. They were obscenely large. If I grow a third ear, we're going to blame it on the potatoes.
These are super indulgent and also super easy to make. I didn't sub any low-fat ingredients this time so this is full of fat ergo perfect and hella delicious.
This was an improvised meal so the ingredients are not exact. It's not so much a recipe as it is a template. Honestly, just use what you have and adjust proportions to suit your taste. It can be easily scaled as well.
1-2 c shredded chicken
3-4 strips of crispy bacon
About a tbsp of cream cheese
About ¼ c of bleu cheese
½ cup of shredded cheese, extra for topping
4 scallions, whites and greens
About ¼ c of pickled jalpenos
1 habenero
½ medium red onion, finely chopped
Garlic powder
Chili powder
- Preheat your oven to 425
- Clean potatoes
- Rub with oil and season with s&p
- Pierce with a fork or knife
- Place bacon on baking sheet and place into the oven as well
- (you can do this on the stove if you prefer).
- Bake potatoes for about 45 to 60 minutes
- Remove the bacon once its crispy
- DO NOT BURN YOUR BACON. It's like treason or something.
- Meanwhile, you can chop and prep your veg and other fixins
- Allow to cool
- Chop your bacon, reserve some for topping
- Carefully scoop out the insides and place into a bowl
- Add cream cheese and bleu cheese
- Using a fork incorporate ingredients, add salt and pepper
- In large bowl, combine the chicken, seasonings and fixins using a silicon spatula
- Fill the potato skins with the filling
- Top with shredded cheese
- Place back into the oven until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are warmed through
- Top with more bacon and more scallions
Lazy Buffalo Sauce for a drizzle:
Using a 1:1 ratio, add hot sauce to melted butter and whisk until combined.
Optional: Jazz it up with Worcestershire, granulated garlic, cayenne and a little white vinegar.

Researchers are often interested in estimating interactions in multilevel models, but many researchers assume that the same procedures and interpretations for interactions in single-level models apply to multilevel models. However, estimating interactions in multilevel models is much more complex than in single-level models. Because uncentered (RAS) or grand mean centered (CGM) level-1 predictors in two-level models contain two sources of variability (i.e., within-cluster variability and between-cluster variability), interactions involving RAS or CGM level-1 predictors also contain more than one source of variability. In this Master's thesis, I use simulations to demonstrate that ignoring the four sources of variability in a …

Rental Bonds vary subject to individual Landlords discretion. The degree of rental bond required is assessed case by case, generally subject to the bona fides' of the Purchaser.
The most common Rental Bond requested is 3 times the monthly Rent + Outgoings + GST. We are aware of bonds occasionally less or potentially more than this. Bank Guarantees are the most common form of Security provided. Bank Guarantees are a finance instrument generally secured by some form of equity.
Put yourself in the Landlords shoes for a moment. They want to be convinced that you have the experiences and/or potential to be successful, which means they are secure in the thought that their rent will be paid each month without compromise. The stronger your background and greater your degree of equity being brought to the purchase, may improve your Bona Fides' providing the Landlord such confidence.
Landlord Questions. To our understanding, Under the Act, Landlords are not permitted to talk to any potential buyer about an existing lease without the written consent of the lessee. A Sale of Business Contract provides that permission. So unfortunately, the first time you can be specifically aware of this requirement is after you have submitted an application for Assignment of the Lease, after you have signed an accepted contract. The landlord may also not be aware the business is for sale, and any contact indiscretion may compromise.
Lease Terms. Businesses are sold "as is where is" and so unless specifically negotiated at the time of the offer, it is assumed you are taking an assignment of the existing lease only, as businesses values are influenced by the lease term available.
Landlords of businesses with leases that do not standardly include "options" very rarely entertain discussion of an option or extension to the existing lease. This is the case with most Shopping Centres, fixed term, no option. You negotiate the next term generally within 6-12 months of lease expiry. It is not as though they do not want their valued Newsagent, it's just the way they have operated for decades.
Landlords of businesses with leases that have existing "options" to the lease term, may consider further options if absolutely necessary for finance requirements. eg, a 3+3 (3 year lease with 3 year option) may be granted a further 3 year option.
If your finance opportunity is subject to anything different to the existing lease, you must raise this at the time of making an offer.
Cost of Lease / Transfer. Costs for Assignment of Lease are paid by the Seller under normal circumstances.
Costs for a New Lease or Lease extensions are paid by the Buyer as the buyer gets a benefit that presently does not exist. Costs will likely include your solicitor to assist review and advice, a landlord admin fee & the landlords solicitor for drafting the new or amended documents. If there is a moderate term left on the existing lease, and you require a New lease, there may also be the cost to you for Surrendering the existing lease as only one lease can exist at a time.
NOTE: If seeking a New Lease under contract, that does not generally permit expecting a rent reduction, and a rent reduction would not be an acceptable contract condition. Firstly, put yourself in the Landlords shoes again. They have an existing Lease at a certain rate for however many more months/years left. Why would the Landlord accept a lesser rent to an unknown tenant, when he can get the existing rate off the current owner for the duration ? Result is simple, Purchaser wanting to pay less does not get approved, wasting a lot of time and costs for an unrealistic expectation.
Also, if the rent were cheaper, the business would be more profitable, and accordingly, more valuable; and you are only paying for the business "as is". Purchasers have to understand a New Lease is generally only an ability to secure a longer lease term, at continuing rates.
Contract Deposit. We suggest a minimum expected deposit level for each contract, normally 10%. Numerous parties will look at that deposit amount, and make judgments accordingly.
As example, a solid deposit sends a message to the seller that you are serious, but we also see landlords refer to it at times when assessing a buyers bona fides' and commitment, and the degree of Rental Bond they may request.
We have seen, in cases of small or part deposits, landlords ask for potentially much larger rental bonds where the existing owner may only have a 3 month rental bond. A healthy deposit is strongly recommended as a good start to sending the right message.

My husband and I both run our local land conservancy's volunteer-based nursery. It is a fairly small operation, but it keeps us busy and this time of year, with the weather warming up, it is humming along. So one of the main trial and error propagation techniques revolve around seeds and their stratification times.
Since we live in Southern California the seeds have learned (over the eons) they can't just plop on the ground and start growing or they aren't going to survive most of the time, so many of them have a stratification period. A select few can be planted, watered and will grow, but many need to sit in the cold for a few months, have fire race above their heads (our plants expect to burn every 10 years or so), soak in hot water overnight, bake in an oven for an hour or two, get a slight cut in their thick seed coat (called scarification) OR even just sit for a few months.
It is a labor of love and it feels really good to figure out the correct combination and have those shoots start to show. Then we need to keep them alive, but that is a different water/soil/sun story.
Do you have a green thumb? If you plant a garden, do you grow your veggies from seed or seedling?

Country's supreme manufacturer of bikes, Honda Bikes & Scooter India, launched the 150cc CB Trigger for the North-East India. Aimed at capturing 20 - 25 per cent of the market in this segment for the future years. Honda CB Trigger price may come with a starting tag of Rs 67,400 – Rs. 76,900/- (Ex-showroom, Guwahati) as told by the Divisional Head (RO East). It is expected to rival Bajaj Autos Pulsar(150 cc), TVS Apache RTR and Yamaha FZ series of motorcycles. The bike has premium specifications and naked appearance, but a bit identical to Yamaha FZ. Boosting its brand image, the Japanese makers are organising a gathering from Guwahati in Assam to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh in which they are looking forward to invite customers using bikes above 250cc.
Now, talking about some of the features and the technology used in it, Honda CB Trigger features a bold design, with a 150cc engine, which pumps out 13.8 bhp at 8500 rpm of maximum power and 12.5 Nm of sparking torque, a fully digital front panel, LED tail lamps etc. It falls in the commuter category of bikes with CBS braking system, maintenance-free battery, alloy wheels, tubeless tyres and much more. This bike, with the new technology promises a perfect mix of best in class features like "Style" and fuel-efficiency for daily commuting. The powerful machine may make people bow down their heads, instead of just turning them up towards it.
It has a five speed gear box with a shift pattern of 1 down and 4 gears up pushes which had been a common one. 60 kilometer of mileage is claimed from company's end which is more than sufficient to say no to fuel stations in the city. The total kerb weight of 137 Kgs, has been handled by 80/100 and 110/80 inches of tyres. This is the first bike in the country to have the combi brake system as an option. The CBS applies both the brakes simultaneously which aids stability under hard braking and reduces braking by as much as 32 per cent. Honda CB Trigger Pictures show us the launching was done by the bollywood actor Akshay Kumar in Gurgaon, Haryana.
The North East area has been a little behind in terms of development as compared with the rest of the country. However, the growth has now picked up and Honda is aiming to capitalise the opportunity by gaining early-bird advantage. Honda CB Trigger has been launched in 3 variants in India including different new features & specifications at an affordable price in the interest of a common man namely Standard (disc brake at the front and drum at the rear), Deluxe (disc brakes front and rear) and CBS (disc brakes front and rear with CBS). The company will be adding few more dealers to their list in roder to the pace of retailing in the market and will reach to the count of 21 dealers in the region. Recently Honda are launched 2013 Honda Dream Yuga is Rs.45,101.

My closet's been looking like a textile monster barfed all over it, so I did a quick purge of old clothes that I haven't worn in a year or they've seen better days.
How did I hoard a whole garbage bag full of usable clothes and 4 other bags?!
I'll be donating all of these clothes to a church donation drive for the homeless and poor next week so they can get a second life. I'm not nearly creative or crafty enough to transform them into crafts.
How often do you clean out your wardrobe? What do you do to your old clothes?

Utah Westerners 2012 Field Trip
California Gold Rush, July 19 to 22
The Utah Westerners explored the history of "The Gold Fields of California." We saw the significant emigration trails carved into the granite of the Sierra Nevada and gazed upon sites that changed the direction of our nation.
Our trip included tours of: John Sutter's Fort, James Marshall Gold Discovery site, California Railroad Museum, Empire Mine State Park, Old Town Sacramento, Mormon Station at Genoa, and a guided tour of the Mormon Emigrant Trail with Frank Tortorich. We saw some very special items brought out from the California State Library "California Room" exclusively for the UW by Gary Kurutz.
Utah Westerner Steve Berlin took hundreds of photographs of this great trip. That you can view here http://steveberlin.smugmug.com/Other/Utah-Westerners-2012-Field/24371688_qDGmrk#!i=1986431879&k=RnWHRRx

Slowdive seems, on record, to float away, barely tethered to pop and rock history, a contrast to other other shoegaze acts that make up the "big three," My Bloody Valentine and Ride. MBV was and is rooted in the Beach Boys, 1960s girl groups, and the Brill Building sound, and Ride wouldn't exist without the jangle of The Byrds and the mod scene of the late 60s. Slowdive only hinted at MBV's guitar squall and Ride's nod to influences, instead crafting slight, ethereal songs on Just for a Day, eventually becoming so ambient that the group recorded with Brian Eno, and dissolved while working on the experimental Pygmalion.
In concert, however, the group rocked, combining the best of all worlds. "This is a pop song," announced singer-guitarist Rachel Goswell, before starting Souvlaki's lead track, "Alison," and so it was, clearly indebted to The Byrds, as was concert opener, "Slowdive." Torrential sheets of guitar–I counted over twenty-five pedals between Goswell, Neal Halstead, and Christian Saville, all of which got a workout on "Crazy For You"–filled the venue, grounded only by Simon Scott's expert drumming, which focused on snares and hi-hats early in the set. Bassist Nick Chaplin alternated between the traditional rhythm section and threatening to blast off with the guitarists.
Befitting the shoegaze moniker, the vocals were buried in the mix at times; one could barely hear Halstead's flat, slightly nasal voice and Goswell's was sometimes reduced to coos, especially when she contributed to the three-guitar attack. Saville turned the solo on "Souvlaki Space Station" into a slide guitar clinic, an alt-country, sci-fi, spaghetti western that exploded into ambient noise. Even the dream poppy "Catch the Day" and the hushed, folky "Dagger" got workouts, drenched in reverb and delay.
Unlike MBV's live struggles last year, Slowdive didn't show many signs of rust. Goswell joked with Halstead throughout, and the only false start was corrected without tension. The band live-premiered the b-side "Albatross," a post-rock song that follows the "loud-quiet-loud" formula they helped to pioneer.
In 2013 I saw MBV live. This year I saw Slowdive. It's your move in 2015, Ride.

Heroes, Charismatics, and Messiahs
Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson have announced the imminent publication of their two-volume climax of the Dune series, based on Frank Herbert's outline and notes for whatever Book 7 may have ended up looking like. The titles will be Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. The prequels written by these guys have been so appalling — I stopped reading them a while ago — though I may give these a try (much as I expect a similar decimation of Frank Herbert's vision) since they will be at least based on certain ideas the author had put down on paper before he died. Hunters is slated for publication this August, and who knows when Sandworms will come out.
So I've started rereading the original six-volume series in anticipation, and am almost nearly done the first book. It's been eons since I read these classics, and I'd forgotten just how good they are. A great story above all, but also a fictional "case study", as it were, of messiahship and the dangers of charismatic movements. Herbert had intended his epic to make a statement about the "messianic convulsions that overtake us" and inevitably fail — the depths of their failure being directly related to how successful they are initially. In Omni magazine (1980), Herbert said the following about heroes, charismatics, and messiahs:
Don't give over all of your critical faculties to [heroes], no matter how admirable those people may appear to be. Beneath the hero's facade you will find a human being who makes human mistakes. Enormous problems arise when human mistakes are made on the grand scale available to a superhero… Heroes are painful, superheroes are a catastrophe. The mistakes of superheroes involve too many of us in disaster.
What strikes me is how applicable this observation is not only to the Dune messiah, but the messiah we "revere" (some much more than others) on our biblioblogs, Jesus of Nazareth. Herbert's remarks are obliquely reminiscent of Dale Allison's, who has emphasized the Jesus who "made mistakes", not least in his expectations of the apocalypse. Jesus didn't stick around for as long as Paul Atreides — and his later heir, the "God Emperor of Dune" — but he remains with us nonetheless, followed mythically worldwide. I'd be inclined to call the Nazarene one of the greatest superheroes our world has ever known.
I'll have to blog more about this when I've finished all six books. The mistakes of superheroes involve too many of us in disaster…
Second Call for Submissions: Biblical Studies Carnival IV
This is the second and final call for submissions and nominations for the fourth Biblical Studies Carnival. Please send links to suggested blogposts (your own or someone else's) to: biblical_studies_carnival AT hotmail DOT com, or alternatively use the submission form at BlogCarnival.com. Only blogposts from the month of March (and which relate to biblical studies, of course) will be considered.
Please have all submissions/nominations sent by Friday March 31, and expect the carnival to be posted soon after April 1. I have other devilish blogging plans for April Fool's Day itself.
Quote for the Day: The Powerlessness of Tools
(See previous quote here.)
"A tool just serves its user. It's only as good as the skill of its user, and it's not good for anything else. So if you want to accomplish something special — something more than you can do for yourself — you can't use a tool. You have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. You have to use something that's free to not be what you had in mind." (Stephen R. Donaldson, The One Tree, chapter 22)
Quote for the Day: The Powerlessness of Innocence
"Innocence is a wonderful thing except for the fact that it's impotent. Guilt is power. All effective people are guilty because the use of power is guilt, and only guilty people can be effective. Effective for good, mind you. Only the damned can be saved." (Stephen R. Donaldson, The Wounded Land, chapter 2)
Evangelical and Secular Scholarship
Lately I've been lounging in Alan Bandy's café, thoroughly enjoying the interviews about faith-based scholarship. I find myself more on the same page with Crossley and Goodacre than the evangelicals (no surprise), but good points have been made all around. I want to comment on a couple of things in Mark's interview. I agree with most of what he said, but would add the following, where he explains the advantages of evangelical and secular scholarship in turn:
I would say that one potential advantage is that the evangelical often gives the benefit of the doubt to a given Biblical writer, and that can enable a good case to be made for something that might otherwise not have been noticed.
Even more importantly, it enables a good case to be made for something that is alien or repulsive to a modern way of thinking. Evangelicals are predisposed to accepting the antiquated world-view of the bible at face value, so they don't have the same level of "embarrassment baggage" others may have. It probably did take an evangelical like Scot McKnight to write a book like Jesus and His Death, which argues so convincingly that Jesus saw his own death in terms of a converted passover sacrifice — that his "body and blood" would protect people from God's wrath at the apocalypse. It's a persuasive argument, but doesn't deal with terribly attractive ideas in today's world — even to mainstream Christians.
As a Christian myself, I am conscious of wishing certain conclusions to be true, and so aware of the danger that I might give more credence to poor arguments than a non-Christian might. I sometimes envy the atheist and the agnostic here in that they don't have to deal with the same baggage.
Speaking for myself, it's admittedly nice to be free of such baggage, and I do wish (echoing James Crossley) there were more secular scholars in the field. Of course, there are plenty of atheists and Unitarians (my group) who go through life weighed down by a different kind of baggage, especially if they're fighting a grim Christian past. I was fortunate: there was nothing suffocating or oppressive about my Christian upbringing (I was raised Episcopelian and went to Roman Catholic grade/high-schools). Like the rest of my family, I gradually "grew out" of Christianity but have positive memories of what I learned from it.
Jesus and Torah
James Crossley and Michael Bird have offered four-point manifestos about Jesus and Torah. I decided to take a stab with four points of my own.
1. Galilee vs. Judea. To an extent I think Jesus' disputes owed to a regional interpretation of the Torah. Whether Richard Horsley or Sean Freyne is more right about the northern religion, it's hard to escape the idea that early Christianity stood for a particular Galilean way of being Israelite. Josephus implies that Galileans adhered to a minimal Torah: circumcision (Vita 112-113,149) and sabbath observance (Vita 159) may reflect basic customs having roots in Galilee prior to Hasmonean takeover (from descendents of northern Israelite peasants left on the land after 722 BCE, as Horsley claims), but not adherence to a highly codified priestly Torah which had developed in southern Judah/Judea.
2. Competing Moral Imperatives. Jesus also entered into Torah debates in the interest of competing moral imperatives. An obvious case is where he appeals to the hunger of David and his men, saying that one imperative can trump another. Human need can override a commandment even if the commandment itself remains intact. Dale Allison notes (in Resurrecting Jesus, chapter 5) that we call this choosing the lesser of two evils. Peasant concerns to take care of their livestock, even on the sabbath, would be another example of pragmatic need trumping a general halakic rule.
3. Rhetoric and Honor. The ancients could be plenty offensive when it suited their needs, especially in order to justify views that were socially advantageous (see Bruce Malina and Richard Rohrbaugh, Social Science Commentary on the Synoptic Gospels passim). Men thrived on the macho game of challenge-and-riposte, and shafting their opponents with rhetorical wit and scripture one-upsmanship. But rhetoric can obscure the real reasons underlying a conflict. Jesus' prohibition of divorce is an example, targeting a practice that Moses may have allowed but created lots of bad blood and feuding (especially in village settings). But it would have been shameful and weak for Jesus to protest about social problems like this. No one would have taken him seriously. So he "burned" his opponents — overturning Moses with the creation story (Gen. 2:24), cleverly implying that marriage was an unseparable "blood" relationship rather a legal one. In this way he honorably (and scripturally) legitimated what he wanted to accomplish.
4. The Apocalypse. I tend to think that almost everything Jesus said and did (whether it was about Torah or not) points back to the apocalypse in some way. And I'm rather surprised at Ed Sanders and Paula Fredriksen for resisting the conclusion that Jesus at least occasionally rescinded the Torah, while underscoring his millenarian outlook in the same breath. Breaking customs and defying tradition is exactly what apocalyptic movements are known for, from everywhere across the globe. They do this precisely on account of the new age being imminent.
So I doubt there is "a" single reason for Jesus' alleged conflict with the Torah. Many factors converge to produce a regional, reasonable, macho, and millenarian figure — and above all messianic, who made himself the boss of these issues.

Transactions on a system of distribution are confirmed by traders using open source software. Such a decentralized digital money system is also known as the cryptocurrency (crypto money) system – an exchange medium similar to official governmental currencies. The system encrypts and thus secures digital information during switchover, and also securely creates new units. While funds are transferred over the internet, they are not under the control of governments and central banks.
In fact, cryptocurrencies comprise substitute digital currencies.
Cryptocurrencies of late have become very attractive, as well as safe, allowing people across the globe to trade with one another. It was not a fathomable future back in the 1990s, in the beginning of the internet, yet today the world wide web has become extremely valuable, at least in part due to the opportunities it offers for electronic banking, as well as the management of digital currencies.
How does it all work?
Cryptocurrencies are also called alt-coins or substitute coins – units running in the form of data parts transported around a network, tracked and controlled by complete and self-contained systems.. An alt-coin is also called an Ethereum – this name is based on the name of a central platform, which manages applications and smart contracts. Cryptocurrencies are nowadays a secure mechanism for releasing tracking property with equal representation in terms of digital value (money).
Cryptocurrencies are time-stamped, and therefore there is no need for third parties to verify transactions. Bitcoin – the most popular type of alt-coin, is secured by mining (proof of activity) – another inherent verification mechanism.
Cryptocurrencies can be exchanged with other cryptocurrencies just like in the real world.
CFD trading works in two ways, when applied to cryptocurrencies. One option is to buy alt-coins hoping to exchange them. The other is to bet on their value without buying them – though CFD trading.
How to perform CFD cryptocurrency trading?
1. Open an account
CFD has leveraged opportunities, and thus has become quite attractive. In short, you won't need a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet to trade CFD. All you need is a leverage provider account.
2. Stay informed
You must know your market – take into account that cryptocurrencies are not influenced in the same ways as standard currencies.
3. Apply your trading schemes
Think of your goals and what you prefer, and adapt your strategy accordingly – planning is essential to success, short or long term.
Enter the position after a cost-benefit evaluation of CFDs. Will the value of the cryptodurrency increase? Will it sell? Will it fall? Buy after your closing terms are clear.
5. Activity closure
Did you achieve your aim? Or maybe you reduced your losses? Backtrack to the original position and close. Basically this means that if you bought, you should close by selling, and vice versa.
With leveraged CFD trading you will invest a small amount, yet can access the full asset value. Still, you do run the risk of losing more than you paid initially.

Doomsday Clock
Hey there! I wanted to share a new painting I made for a group show called "Time Machine" at The Hive Gallery in L.A. The inspiration behind this painting came from an article in the WSJ about the "Doomsday Clock". Apparently, this symbolic clock was created by scientists to represent how close we might be to global destruction. The closer the hand gets to midnight, the closer we are to catastrophe. Currently it is set at 3 minutes to midnight. Interesting!
My painting depicts Father Time creating a portal with his beard, into which he is summoning the children so they can turn back the hands of time and save the world.
I also made a black and white painting which shows the next scene inside the portal, where they discover Father Time's missing eyeballs (which of course are clocks!)

David Tennant on set of Broadchurch remake Gracepoint – behind the scenes pictures
Filming for the US version of the show starring the former Doctor Who lead and Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn is well underway in Canada - take a sneak peek at the action here...
Filming is underway in Victoria, Canada, for FOX's adaptation of the hit ITV crime drama Broadchuch, originally set on the stunning Jurassic Coast in Dorset.
RadioTimes.com has managed to get some on-set pictures of David Tennant, who will play Emmett Carver, based on the character of Scottish DI Alec Hardy in the ITV version of the drama.
A local market has been transformed into Carver's police station and in the images we see Tennant speak to a US cop outside the entrance.
Filming will also take place in Sidney, Island View Beach and Brentwood Bay. The former Guardian pharmacy in Oak Bay, has also been transformed for the series. It will double as the small town newspaper office of the Gracepoint Journal.
The 10 episodes will be filmed around the area for approximately four months.
David Tennant will use an American accent in the drama, and he will play alongside Anna Gunn (Skyler White from Breaking Bad), who is set to take on the role as a local female cop (based on Olivia Colman's character of Ellie Miller in the British version of the series).

but just what that means is subject to various qualifications. For example:
I downcased everything, split hyphenated words, and counted only all-alphabetic tokens. Of course the 37,504 types constitute a smaller number of "word families" — thus we have504 dog200 dogs32 dogged27 doggedly5 dogging3 doglike2 doggednessThe meaning and usage of dogged and dogging are far from 100% predictable from the meaning and usage of dog, so there's a question about where to draw the boundaries of dog's "word family".
That's from a recent post by Mark Liberman at Language Log. It's about the of people's vocabularies, which is surprisingly difficult to estimate for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, what is a word? On the other hand, however you define it, how do you count them? You can't just ask people to list all the words they know. And then: what counts as knowing a word?
Keeping all that in mind, it seems the educated Americans know between 40K and 70K words.

Girls is very close to returning to HBO for its third season! To help the wait for January 12, I read The Unofficial Girls Guide to New York, a new book that provides a guide to the all the restaurants, bars, parks, and more where the characters have spent the first two seasons.
Photos: Check out the cutest ever Lena Dunham selfie… with a special guest!
If you're a New Yorker, you may think those Sex and the City bus tours are the devil's handiwork. If that is the case, you'll probably hate this book, too. But don't be a hater, honey! The Unofficial Girls Guide, by Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin, provides a map and description of every major neighborhood featured on the show (so a whole lotta Brooklyn), along with photos and info about every bar, hotel, and more where the characters stopped. Plus, some of the spots even include recipes for their food or drinks.
Photos: See the 10 Lena Dunham tweets that will change your life.

General Question
High quality conversion from epub to pdf? Either online or Mac software.
Asked by marmoset (1167) December 29th, 2013
I've tried several online conversion services (bizarre results from those, like words actually split in half—their tops on one page, their bottoms on the next).
The most highly-recommended Mac app seems to be Calibre, but I tried downloading directly from their site and one click got me 9 corrupted files.
Other Mac apps have mixed reviews.
Have you had success with anything recently? (Have you successfully downloaded Calibre, maybe from a third-party site?) Thanks!

May 31, 2018 – Los Angeles, CA – Today, The Greeting Committee release a brand-new music video for their single, "17": WATCH HERE.
This video came to fruition in a very unique way – Universal Music Group's talented young college representatives worked with lead singer Addie Sartino on the treatment and creation of the video from start to finish. Their youthful vision and creativity resulted in a visual component which perfectly fits the song's emotion and narrative.
On the song, the critically acclaimed Kansas City quartet infuse sunny, shimmering guitars with youthful spirit and vivid lyricism. Co-written with Jack Kennedy (BØRNS) and produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes), it's as cinematic as it is catchy. The single provides the perfect precursor to the group's forthcoming new album—stay tuned for more details.
The band recently wrapped a North American tour supporting Jukebox the Ghost. Their energetic live show captured the attention of audiences across the country – after their Pittsburgh set, AXS wrote that The Greeting Committee "quickly won over the crowd with their energy and catchy songs." Twin Cities Media praised, "If every band had the amount of energy that Addie had last night I would never have a complaint about a live show…there's no denying the power behind The Greeting Committee's live shows," while Music In Minnesota agreed, "The Greeting Committee put on one of the best performances from an opening act I've ever seen in my life."
Between high school classes in their native Kansas City, The Greeting Committee quietly stirred up a following with their 2015 debut EP It's Not All That Bad, which caught the attention of Lazlo Geiger, a radio personality from 96.5 The Buzz. The lead single "Hands Down" impressively generated 10 million-plus streams as the band went on touring with the likes of MisterWives, Tennis, The Mowgli's, Saint Motel, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, as well as making a splash at Lollapalooza and SXSW. "17" is their first new release since their 2017 sophomore EP Meeting People Is Easy.
The Greeting Committee are: Addie Sartino (vocals), Brandon Yangmi (guitar), Pierce Turcotte (bass), and Austin Fraser (drums).

Thirty Attitudes to End of the School Year Positively!
1. Be moderate in your approach. You do not have to be the world's best teacher all the time. You just have to be a very good one.
2. Spend your energy on large problems first and allot less of your energy for the small ones. Choose to deal with the problems that will give you the greatest benefit right away.
3. Problems can move you forward when you choose to work to solve them. Use your creative strengths to make your classroom well-disciplined and productive.
4. Make room for more emotional energy. Ask for help when you have a problem.
5. Learn to see problems as challenges that you can overcome.
6. Don't underestimate your students. They are capable of much more than you think they are.
7. Avoid negative people. Better yet, try not to be one of those negative people you are supposed to avoid.
8. Being optimistic doesn't mean that you don't have problems. A positive attitude means that you are working on a solution.
9. Make sure you have something fun to look forward to. Reward yourself when you achieve a goal.
10. You don't teach a class. You teach complex, living, breathing people.
11. Cherish your students. Even the worst-behaved ones have redeeming qualities.
12. Carpe Diem! When a teachable moment comes along,TEACH!
13. Don't forget that small attitude changes often create bigger patterns of success. What small attitude change can you make today?
14. When a task seems impossible, remind yourself of the teachers who made a difference in your life. You can do the same for your students.
15. The fun you have goofing around during your planning period is equal to the misery you'll experience trying to catch up later.
16. Be proactive! Plan what you are going to do if…
17. Discard something you're doing that is not productive. Figure out how to do just one thing more efficiently.
18. Practice deep breathing. You'll be glad you know how to calm yourself when a student is defiant, disrespectful, or just cranky.
19. Make it your goal that every student will leave your class with a positive attitude every day.
20. Use your strengths. Focus on your positive attributes to maximize the potential for success in your classroom.
21. Keep things in perspective. Ask yourself if the problems you have today will be important next year.
22. Talk less and listen more to your students.
23. Change the pace. Try three new activities this week.
24. Break large tasks into small, manageable ones.
25. Plan to ignore the small stuff.
26. Get to work a little early and stay a little late.
27. Stop trying to rely on your memory! You have too much to do to recall everything. Write it down in an organized fashion.
28. Be sure to plan for the last few minutes of class.
29. Empower your students by designing assignments that allow for limited student options. Give them innocuous choices such as the even or odd problems, essay topics, group tasks, or the best day to take a test.
30. You probably need to model more for your students. Most teachers do. And don't forget to show them what you don't want them to do, also.

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Cheek Glow from the Bronze Goddess Summer 2014 Color Collection
A truly divine experience, the Bronze Goddess Summer 2014 Color Collection features a spectrum of subtly nude hues accented by exquisitely rich colors from soft corals to deep blackberries and lavishly gilded metallics. Eyes glisten with nudes and metallic sparkle. Lips are glossed and brightened with luscious color. Cheeks glow as if kissed by the sun.
Bronze Goddess Cheek Glow ($28) and one other item I'll show you later - when I can get photos.
This new, limited-edition Cheek Glow provides a natural, healthy, and sun-kissed touch of color for our cheeks. Designed to complement all skin tones, this cream blush offers an ideal touch of color, while it illuminates complexions from day to night. The innovative and luxurious blush has a skin-loving, moisturizing formula that is undeniably creamy and sets beautifully on cheeks for a perfectly blushed look. The blendable and buildable coverage also creates finishes from subtle and soft to dramatic and perfectly pinched. I was particularly pleased that it is easy to apply a subtle wash of color or build the color for a little more oomph.
I applied Bronze Goddess Cheek Glow pretty heavily - at the top with a sponge-tipped applicator (totally unnatural) and below with my finger). My photos were taken in full, late-afternoon sun.
I limited myself to two pieces from the collection, but I'm very tempted to go back for more. You can see the entire collection at the Estée Lauder Web site.

While it is really pretty, and probably makes you look and feel like a million bucks, do you believe that there will never be another color that you'll fall head over heels for? I ask this because I find myself thinking like that very often about clothes and makeup, and the truth is, there's always something new to grab my attention.

After Purple, come the Reds and Oranges.
On the left are a pair (well, not quite a pair) of sleeves for my Ursa cardigan. Now that I don't have any deadline knitting anymore I've decided to work mostly on my cardigan so that I could maybe have it done by Christmas. I don't think that will happen but you never know, and it is good to have goals! I'm really looking forward to starting the body of the cardigan.
The other project is Little Colonnade by Stephen West knit in the Zauberball I bought at Stitches East (I just realized I never showed you what I got at Stitches!). I'm about 2/3 of the way on the stockinette section and the rows are getting long!
I only have these 2 projects on the needles, no socks at all. I will be traveling in a few days so will definitely need to cast on for a pair before I leave. Any suggestions for cool sock patterns appropriate for traveling?

Copa del Rey: Real Sociedad, Alaves, Athletic Bilbao all record wins
Real Sociedad will take an advantage into their home leg of the Copa del Rey fourth round after winning 3-1 at Real Valladolid on Thursday.
The Primera Division side took the lead on six minutes when Inigo Martinez scored following a a corner, but Valladolid soon equalised through Jaime Mata's penalty.
But Juanmi's second-half brace ensured Sociedad will enjoy a two-goal edge in the second leg.
Alaves also have a large advantage after a 3-0 victory at Gimnastic, Gaizka Toquero finding the net twice before Christian Santos capped the scoring.
Raul Garcia scored twice as Athletic Bilbao won 2-1 at Racing Santander.
Athletic took the lead on 11 minutes, and though the hosts equalised through Heber Pena 12 minutes later, Garcia found his second before the half-hour mark.
Las Palmas were the only top-flight side to suffer a setback on Thursday after wasting a lead and drawing 2-2 at Huesca.
An early Felix Asdrubal penalty had Las Palmas ahead before Hernan Santana doubled the lead shortly after half-time.
But Huesca rallied to equalise, Juanjo Camacho scoring in the 65th minute before Juan Aguilera's 71st-minute strike.

NOWTHEN, Minn. (WCCO) — Ramsey firefighters say a man, who didn't hesitate to save a woman he didn't know, is a hero.
Mike Coolidge was driving to work Tuesday morning when he saw smoke blanket the road ahead of him. Quickly calling 911, he drove to the house on fire.
"I did what I had to do and that was it," Coolidge said. "She's a neighbor, but I didn't even know her name."
No one answered when he banged on the door. Through a window, Coolidge saw feet and realized the woman who lived there had collapsed by a backdoor. What happened next for Coolidge is still a haze. Scratches on his hands and broken glass by the door lead firefighters to believe he broke a window.
"I could see her feet," he remembered. "I got down on my hands and feet and got her out that way. I could see her arms were burnt on her forearms."
Once outside, other neighbors came to help. Firefighters hadn't arrived yet. The group tended to the 64-year-old woman while Coolidge tried to catch his breath and take in clean air. Firefighters say a few minutes longer and the woman may not have made it.
"We have a true hero in our hands," Ramsey Fire Chief Dean Kapler said. "It's a pretty neat thing when someone stops and puts their life in danger to help out another human being."
This is a day Coolidge won't soon forget.
"I was going through my head, I was going to have some dreams about this tonight if she didn't make it. After I saw she was a live and had her head up, I'll sleep pretty good tonight," said Coolidge.
Investigators say they don't know what sparked the fire in the woman's living room. She was also the only one in the house at the time. For now, her name isn't being released to the media.

The Caterham Superlight R500 may be small and lightweight, and on many a petrolheads' wish list, but only now is it tiny enough to fit into a Christmas stocking.
Caterham Cars' most rapid road-going vehicle has been recreated to scale complete with remote control and BBC Top Gear's The Stig behind the wheel.
The miniature Caterham R500 celebrates the model's star turn on BBC Top Gear last December.
The full size version demonstrated its blistering speed around the programme's famous test track, recording one of the fastest ever laps, and scooping the show's coveted Car of the Year award for 2008.
At 1:16 scale, with full function radio control, the model makes for an ideal gift for anyone over the age of 8 years (although Fathers, Uncles and close family friends should really test it out before allowing an 8-year old near the controls).
Not only is the Caterham R500 available in two colours – the famous white and red stripe, plus the yellow and black combination – but both are on separate radio frequencies, allowing owners to race each other.
Exclusively sold from Marks & Spencer stores in throughout the UK, the remote controlled Caterham R500 is priced at £19.99.
Alternatively, contact Caterham Cars direct for the full size version, by calling 01883 333700 or by visiting www.caterham.co.uk.

Poll: Majority Of Arizonans Favor Legalizing Marijuana
Most Arizonans support permitting adults to legally possess marijuana for personal consumption, according to statewide polling data commissioned by the Behavioral Research Center.
Fifty-three percent of respondents favor legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. That is an increase of two percent compared to when pollsters asked a similar question last year.
Only 39 percent of respondents disapproved of the notion of legalizing cannabis.
Legalization supporters were more likely to be under the age of 35 (71 percent) and to vote Democrat (64 percent). Respondents age 55 or older (45 percent) and Republicans (33 percent) were least likely to support legalizing the plant for adult use.
Arizona is one of several states where voters will likely decide whether or not to legalize and regulate the use, production, and retail sale of the plant in 2016.
Posted in : SOCIETY
5 responses to "Poll: Majority Of Arizonans Favor Legalizing Marijuana"
June 8, 2015
And a record number (56%) of likely voters in California favor legalization according to the Public Institute of California (PPIC) poll released today, June 8.
Come on AZ, let's get the tidal wave rolling eastward! Maybe the POS Pres will give in for 2016 and sign the one executive order he really needs to sign!!!
So 71% of those under 35 support legalization. How long will it take the GOP to realize their opposition to reform looses elections and ain't gonna cut it in the future?
The reason you can own an assault rifle, but not a joint is because the NRA votes as a block.
There's a moral there somewhere….
Make voting reform the norm. 🙂
Legalizing Arizona… Sounds like the movie "Raising Arizona," except instead of robbing a convenience store for pampers the movie is about the Arizona Attorney General robbing taxpayers lobbying for prohibition. Not as funny as pampers, but just as dirty…
These numbers must be terrifying for the embedded establishment within the Arizona Republican legislature. Think of all the private prison owners! The crooked informants, double agents and arms dealers! Are we saying they need to get REAL jobs in the new legalized hemp and marijuana market?
…Wait, lemme read those polls again…
Oh, yes, it would appear that IS what we're saying…
Please REGISTER everyone you know to VOTE Arizona!!!
@ Galileo Galilei,
It will take the GOPers a bit longer to realize they are on the wrong side of history, to understand that eventually they will suffer the wrath of their folly, because they are so tunnel-visioned. They always take their wins in the off-presidential elections as proof that America believes in their visions. Conversely, they tend to ignore their defeats during the presidential-election years as aberrations.
They will be in for a few more rude shocks before the cold water of reality finally washes away their delusions. Their hardcore base is dying off every day. They seem almost incapable of understanding this.

The minimum wage in Maine has changed. For updates on the new state law & Portland's minimum wage clink here.
We can take WORK on the road! If your organization or workplace is interested in a training, let us know!
On May Day, 2015, we released our Know Your Rights manual called WORK: A Guide For Workers' Justice in Maine. This manual was a collaborative effort with organizations across the state of Maine. WORK is a resource to help workers better understand what their employment rights are, and what the possibilities are for organizing around those rights. It can be difficult to know whether something that happens at work is actually illegal. WORK is a user-friendly road map to practical information about the law.
Because we believe that organizing is the most effective way to build power and achieve positive change, the manual also includes examples of how organizing has furthered workers rights in the past, and how it can do so now.

Posted by Mack Ade at 6:00 AM 1 comments
Jeff McNeil went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI, Robert Gsellman struck out seven batters and the Binghamton Mets took down the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, 2-1, Friday night at NYSEG Stadium.
Gsellman got in the groove early as he retired the first four batters he faced, three via the strikeout. The fifth gave him trouble however as with one out in the top of the second inning, Melky Mesa drove a pitch off of the videoboard in right-center field and put the Fisher Cats on top 1-0.
Binghamton answered in the home half of the third with a longball of its own. McNeil turned on an offering from Jeremy Gabryszwski and planted it over the wall in right, evening the score at one.
Gsellman took control from that point and did not allow another base hit until the sixth. After retiring the first two batters he faced, Gsellman surrendered a single to Roemon Fields followed by a walk to Jon Berti, placing runners on first and second. He was then lifted in favor of Kelly Secrest, who got Dwight Smith Jr. to pop up and end the threat.
Gsellman finished with one run allowed on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings pitched. He did not factor in the decision.
The game remained tied at one until the eighth when Kyle Johnson smoked a double down the left field line to lead off the frame. McNeil followed with a double of his own to the right-field gap, scoring Johnson and giving the B-Mets a 2-1 lead.
Akeel Morris set the Fisher Cats down in order in the ninth to pick up his first save. Logan Taylor (1-0) earned the win with one hit and one strikeout in one shutout inning. Colt Hynes (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing one run on three hits in one inning.
Binghamton improved to 1-0 with the Opening Day victory while New Hampshire fell to 0-1. The series continuesSaturday at NYSEG Stadium with a 1:05 PM first pitch. Tyler Pill will take the ball for the B-Mets while the Fisher Cats counter with John Anderson.
