Another week in the books for the 2011 college football season, and as we continue to learn more about the contenders and pretenders, College FootBlog breaks down some of the action from Week 3.
Oklahoma passes major test: One of our contributors, Christian Hon, and I actually covered this game and the pregame festivities (check out the on location podcast and tailgate and game footage), and what a fantastic football game! In the end, though, the Sooners showed why they're the #1 team in the land. Although OU quarterback Landry Jones was held under 200 yards passing and picked off twice by Florida State, he completed a clutch touchdown pass in the fourth quarter when the game was tied. Oklahoma is known for their explosive offense, but it was their defense, led by linebackers Travis Lewis and Tom Wort that stepped up and passed what may have been the most difficult test of the regular season.
Notre Dame finally gets a win: The Irish still have a tough road ahead of them if they want to finish above .500, but they managed to knock off the favored Michigan State Spartans in South Bend last weekend. Similar to Oklahoma, it was the defense that stole the show for Notre Dame, holding Michigan State to just 29 yards rushing. The defense was non-existent against Michigan in week 2, so Irish fans have to feel good about the 31-13 victory over their hated rivals from East Lansing. The next three weeks see the Irish traveling to very mediocre Pitt and Purdue, followed by a home game against Air Force. If they can win two of those games, Brian Kelly's face may turn back to red, as opposed to the bright purple shade he sported in the South Florida game.
Oklahoma State continues to win shoot outs: The Cowboys have given up an average of 27 points per game so far this season, which ranks 76th nationally. The good thing for Mike Gundy is that the OSU offense is averaging over 52 points per game, which ranks #3 nationally. The main reason for this offensive output is senior quarterback Brandon Weeden, who has thrown for 1154 yards in the first three games of the season. OSU will get their first real test of the season this weekend, when open up conference play at Texas A&M this weekend. With Oklahoma State's non-existent defense, there won't be a shortage of points this weekend at College Station.
Kellen Moore keeping his name on the Heisman list: While Toledo may not garner a ton of national attention, they are a legitimate football team, one that gave Ohio State all they could handle in week 2. For Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, it was just another day at the office. The senior QB threw for 455 yards and 5 TDs. On the season, he is completing 78.9% of his passes with 8 TDs and only 2 Ints, and that's only in two games. Look for Moore to put up 4,000 yards and 35+ touchdowns and represent the Broncos in New York as a finalist for college football's most prestigious award.
Heart of Stanford's defense, Shane Skov done for the season: While most of the hype of the Stanford Cardinal surrounds Heisman front-runner Andrew Luck (and rightfully so), the heart of the Cardinal defense is (and has been) Shane Skov. This is a huge loss to a team that many expect to challenge Oregon for the inaugural Pac 12 title. The junior linebacker was highly touted coming out of high school and has lived up to his billing, leading Stanford defensively in last year's Orange Bowl with three sacks and leading the Cardinal in tackles so far this season. Luckily for Stanford, October 22nd is the first test against a decent offense, when they play host to the Washington Huskies. Three football games should give the defense a chance to gel as a unit before they get into the meat of their schedule.

- Wood River #146145 22 Piece Tapered Drill Set
- Brand: Wood River | Category: Drill-Driver Accessories
Picked up this set at Woodcraft for about $25.00. I have used tapered bits in the past and really liked to have them to use as a quick way to drill a pilot and countersink in one step. The case is great, the bits are sharp and straight but one of the countersinks spun on the bit shaft despite my tightening of the set screws. It's a cheap set compared to the $70.00 and $90.00 sets right beside it in the store and is better than a harbor freight job.

I could have used a 9/64th tonight. The small Rockler set at $35 or so seemed kinda steep. Thanks for the review.

I wish I could have found a set for $35.00 . I was at Rockler the other day specifically for piloting bits. Akll the showed me were individual bits at $18.00 a piece! Even when I indicated I thought this way too expensive, they did not show the $35.00 set. Well at least I was smart enough not to pay$18.00 for one piloting bit.

my bad. I was thinging of this item.
But this "nicer" set is $56, and about $18 to $20 separately:

I bought this set and gave several of the tapered bits a test in some hard maple. They bent and "wobbled" after contact with the wood. The steel was too soft. I returned them to Woodcraft with a note that they could do anything they pleased with them – just don't send me any replacements.
I then bought a set made by Fuller. What a world of difference. My advice is to purchase the Fuller set and don't waste your money on this cheap set from Woodcraft.

In fact this set looks just like the one I bought at HF and which gave me the same issue, spinning.

I have an even cheaper set and have experience the spinning issue. I filed a flat on the drill bit for the set screw to grab and they are usable now.

I still keep a diary (maybe that was why I found the diary entries in Vampire Diaries easy to write). And for maybe twenty years I've called it "A Very Minor Song" which is supposed to be a pun because of all the poetry—songlike stuff—inside it. But just now I found out that the Olympics' very major song—the one where elfin Lin Miaoke sang "Ode to the Motherland"—was a fake. Actually, it was Yang Peiyi singing, an adorable little girl who just happens to have slightly crooked teeth.
There's a lot a blah-blah out there about how Lin (fake) represented the Chinese heart and soul and Mom's home made dimsum, but to me this is simply an outrage. What she represented was Cute. Yang (Real Star) must have represented all of the other good stuff in order to be able to sing what people all over the world are calling one of the most mesmerizing moments of the opening ceremony, yes? And yet Yang (Real Star) didn't even get a moment on stage. Which is more fun? Lip-synching in front of the world or singing somewhere where no one can see you or acknowledge you (maybe in one of the boxes used to spell out HARMONY.)
One girl with an extraordinary voice is denied her chance in the (midnight) sun . . . because she's not cute enough. I didn't see anyone worry whether many of the male big honchos were or weren't cute enough. Hey, maybe we should replace Bush with Obama right now. There's something to be said on both sides of the debates in our bipartisan country, but I think most people would agree that Obama was cuter. Yeah, let's do it, now! Only Cute people may apply for jobs of any kind. People with crooked teeth may do the actually work, but the Cute ones get paid. An idea like this could revolutionize a nation.
I could spend another hour working on this, making it Cuter, but I'm not going to. I'm giving the honest-to-goodness first draft because to hell with Cute, and that's my opinion.

Father's Day
I didn't know my father but I revere him. HIs ship was torpedoed when I was two years old. He left me a copy of Shakespeare's sonnets, college tuition and a letter. He wrote the letter a few days after I was born while he was at sea. He was on the S. S. Peu, the ship that two years later would be attacked by enemy action. The letter is my most precious possession. He describes in adult terms what life was like, how much he wanted a child and his joy when I was born.
Happy Father's Day to my dear Father!

Does your organisation employ members of the Reserve Forces, or are you looking to increase the support you offer? Would you like to share your knowledge and good practice?
In partnership with the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Health, NHS Employers launched NHS Reserve Forces Champions. The scheme was created to increase the awareness of Reservists within the NHS, and to highlight the benefits that employing reservists can have for organisations and employers.
Through the use of local networks, the champion scheme will not only facilitate stronger relationships between your trust, its military units and Regional Employer Engagement contacts, but also with other reservist employers within the region.
By becoming a champion, you will enable your trust to be recognised as a reservist friendly employer and demonstrate your public commitment to supporting members of the Armed Forces.
Champions will be required to show their support by achieving the following:
Display their contact details on the NHS Employers Reserve Forces Footprint Map, created to share information of local contact details for the military and the Regional Employer Engagement Director
Supply a statement of support which will be visible on the NHS Employers website
Highlight their position to the Reservists within their organisation
Encourage their organisation to apply for, and achieve, the different award levels of the Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS)
Encourage their organisation to sign the Armed Forces Covenant
Share relevant links and good practice via the NHS Employers website and on their internet/intranet, as well as talking to colleagues about supporting reservists
Share information, which will be supplied by NHS Employers, on how your organisation supports reservists at recruitment and induction stages
Make or strengthen links with their Regional Employer Engagement contact/network, supported by NHS Employers.
The champion scheme is open to anyone within your organisation who takes the lead on supporting the Reservists in your workforce, or has an interest in this area. Many employers will have taken steps to achieve most of the above, and may also have an identified lead.
They would therefore look to strengthen these links to relevant organisations, and offer supporting tools and resources.
In return for being a champion NHS Employers will offer you updates through their NHS Reserve Forces Champions newsletter, exclusive access to new resources to be used during recruitment and induction, early access to new tools being launched later in the year, and the opportunity to be able to work with NHS Employers to tailor resources, depending on your organisations requirements.
To nominate your champion please visit the champions' web page and complete the short registration. Once this has been processed, you will be sent your bespoke NHS Reserve Forces Champions welcome pack.
Quotes of support
Tracy Taylor, chief executive of Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust
"We employ a number of reservists and ex-service personnel, many of whom are in management and leadership positions. We recognise and appreciate the skills and qualities developed through military training and actively encourage our staff to consider reservist employment.
Our reservist employees receive additional qualifications, exceptional training and unique experiences. In return, we receive a very dedicated, well trained and enthusiastic member of staff who is keen to foster team work and take on leadership responsibilities. We are very proud to support the Armed Forces and would encourage other NHS trusts to become champions.'
Dr Frank Harsent, chief executive, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
"As one of the largest acute NHS foundation trusts in the country we recognise opportunities to be gained through working in partnership with NHS Employers and the Ministry of Defence in support of our Reserve Forces community.
We believe we have a moral duty to support those who give so much to assisting those in need, often in the most challenging of environments, whilst simultaneously reaping the benefits of a mutually beneficial partnership. Our reservist employees undergo some of the most advanced training and development available.
These opportunities, combined with exposure to leadership challenges sometimes in unchartered territory, truly make them remarkable people. The opportunity to become a NHS Reserve Forces Champion here at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in support of increasing awareness amongst the NHS community is therefore a most welcome opportunity."
Alison Kingscott, director of human resources and organisational development at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust
"As an NHS foundation trust with close links with the military across Salisbury Plain, we are always keen to provide support to staff who are members of the Reserve Forces as part of our ongoing support of the military.
We are keen to champion employers supporting reservist staff as we recognise that this is both beneficial to the individual, who learns new skills and behaviours, and to us as an employer, who benefits from this enhanced skill base.
We have seen the positive impact reservists have on their non-reservist colleagues in terms of attitude and temperament which goes towards supporting all of our staff.
We would encourage any NHS employer to support those staff who are already reservists or who wish to join the military reservists as the rewards experienced back into the organisation are well worth it."

Arm is healing well and while physio is brutal it is helping a lot.
Christmas is coming in a hurry! And while I am nearly ready is seems that I have been neglecting my usual routine of "messing with the music"
This is a redo of an old one but a bit of fun as we approach the big day! Some of the names and faces are different as some have gone on to new homes, or across that fabled rainbow bridge.
But the one it was written for , as sick as he was is still with me and I count that as a huge blessing .
so here we go
the 2016 version of "A letter to Santa from Johnny"
Jolly old Saint Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say:
Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now, you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep
through the pastures cold and white,
With your pack you'll creep
All the horses you will find
Standing in a pen
I will be the shortest one,
Maggie, wants a carrot please
Reina, wants some oats
Cactus and the Phoenix, want
Stryker ,just wants hay
Now I think ,I leave to you
What to give the rest
And for me, dear Santa Claus;
mums love is the best .

WTF Have you done Sky One? Moving Wonderfalls to Midnight Thursday morning… MIDNIGHT! There's repeats Friday's at 8pm on Sky Mix but what you've done is unforgivable. I'm so angry right now I could kick something. There's new pictures over at the 'This Is Tom' website, go and freakin' enjoy them before I decide to move them to midnight!
Where did all this rain come from? How is it I always have a nosebleed when it rains? While you ponder that I'll go and upload some new pictures in the gallery.
I had an uneventful day today ('Cept for my Gran coming over and watching her explain to my sister what was happening in Buffy… OMG!) so I'll show you what I did spend most of the day doing…
And then I'll tell you what happened at the weekend. I went to see The Descent (bloody brilliant) which I think is the second 18 movie I've seen but it may have been the first. No-one asked to see ID and no-one even asked my sister how old I was – WOOHOO! We went to Pizza Hut earlier and I had a pepperoni, no biggie. On Sunday I FINALLY opened my Cluedo that I got for Christmas and played it with Haley (my sister, who's staying with me this week since Mum and S-Dad are on holiday). I won! I also won at Upwords (of course) and then we watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Scream 2… What a weird combination.
Oh yeah, and I hate you ALL for not voting Orlaith out!
The new video bootleg video has been posted. I'm currently appealing to find the person who made it, once I do I'll tell you so you can thank them! Great tune isn't it?

A sex holiday is not just about hooking up with local girls, and is definitely not about paying to do 'it'. In fact, prostitution is a waste of a holiday as it can often be indulged in at home and may be even more unsafe in unknown parts of the world. A singles' vacation, instead, is about meeting interesting women or generally having fun with singles. (Of course, if it does come with a couple of one-night-stands, who's complaining, right?)
What to expect
Everyone who sets out on a holiday of this kind has his reasons-an ex-girlfriend, a divorce or simply the want of a kinky adventure. Whatever your case, list down what it is you are looking for. Then tear off that list, and wipe all expectations off your mind. It helps to not covet anything, as a sex holiday is not a defined idea. "Adult tourism is a subtle part of the travel industry that is quite popular," says Jehan Driver, a young travel enthusiast and consultant who has a decade of experience in travelling and now organises his own adventure trips.

Before becoming a parent, I received some advice that I only thought I understood. Things like, "go to the movies while you can," "sit down to a nice quiet meal now and then", and of course the perennial advice given to a parent to be, "get as much sleep as humanly possible while you still have the chance." On some basic level I recognized that after having children my personal time and space would become a scarcer and more desirable resource, but I couldn't grasp the depth of that truth until I experienced it first-hand.
Still, of all the words of parental wisdom that I thought I understood, the one that became really clear only after my child was born was this one: "see the world through a child's eyes." This is common advice given not just to prospective parents, but to all adults everywhere, and I thought I understood what it meant. Look at the world as though you are seeing it for the first time. Show your appreciation for the simple things we take for granted. View the world as a giant playground. This all made sense to me in a theoretical way, but it was only when I witnessed my 10 month old triumphantly raise his fist in the air screaming "Yeaaaaaaahhhhh!" at the sight of every city bus passing through our neighborhood, each time with equal enthusiasm and overflowing with delight, that I finally grasped the magnitude of the expression. I have found it difficult to convey in words the sheer joy and unfiltered appreciation for life that my child felt at that moment, but I haven't been able to look at a public bus the same way since.

Early Education Will Work for L.A.
Eric Garcetti was sworn in as mayor recently under a bright L.A. sun, pledging to make Los Angeles a dynamo of economic development. He promised to declare Los Angeles "open for business," drawing employers and jobs to the city.
As the chairman of the Los Angeles Universal Preschool and the Los Angeles Workforce Investment Board Youth Council, I'd like to offer our new mayor another vital, proven avenue for long-term prosperity and interest from businesses big and small: developing a valuable workforce through investments in early care and education or ECE.
On behalf of the many business leaders, academic researchers, practitioners and families rooting for Garcetti to make good on his promises, we have five ways the new mayor can help advance our economy, build the job base and make our city ready for today's economy and tomorrow's, too:
- Make Los Angeles a leader in identifying and sustaining quality ECE. Los Angeles Universal Preschool has developed the 5-Star Quality Assessment and Improvement System for licensed child-care programs serving preschool age children. The system is meant to ensure statewide that early care and education programs have the attributes known to produce results and deliver positive outcomes for children. Both empower parents to identify quality early care and education programs. Los Angeles can and should lead the way to incorporating these quality ratings into the ECE system. Garcetti has a pivotal leadership role to play.
- Prioritize STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education in the dialogue around ECE in Los Angeles. Education experts believe that a workforce lacking in STEM skills can have a long-term negative effect on society. But, unfortunately, children often begin learning basic math skills too late in their education and fail to fully grasp simple math concepts needed to function in adult life. By prioritizing STEM with our earliest learners, we not only help ensure their future educational successes but also help build a productive society.
- Focus on a high-quality ECE workforce with training and professionalization programs. Studies confirm that increasing public investment in ECE can produce substantial educational, social and economic benefits. Providing the ECE workforce with opportunities for additional training and education not only improves the lives of the children they work with but is an important investment in human capital.
- Develop a retention plan for the high-quality early care and education workforce in Los Angeles: Preschool teachers have annual turnover rates of 25 percent to 50 percent compared with a 7 percent turnover rate for public school teachers. This is a symptom of a system that needs reform and professionals in need of support.
- Make ECE part of an overall system of education in Los Angeles. Students who benefit from high-quality ECE are more likely to succeed in elementary, middle and high school. Moreover, investments in ECE are linked to higher average household employment and income levels. Incorporating ECE into the continuum of child and youth services in the city of Los Angeles makes economic sense.
As a native Angeleno and longtime public servant, Garcetti knows well the challenges the L.A. economy faces. By prioritizing early learning and making investments to support the critical ECE workforce, he has the opportunity to ensure a vibrant, growing economy for generations to come. We are excited to work with Garcetti and his team to make Los Angeles a national leader in early care and education, and, in doing so, the national economic force he envisions.
David Crippens is chairman of Los Angeles Universal Preschool.

I always wanted a stationary bike in the apartment. I'm not sure why I didn't do it sooner. Maybe because I was using the gym on a regular basis or maybe because my last apartment building didn't have an elevator and if I wanted to get anything upstairs, I had to consider the ridiculous 5 flights to my place. Now, I have an elevator, so easy peasy. Plus, I don't go to the gym nearly as much. Over the past four years I got used to home workouts.
I also got used to buying different fitness equipment. I've become a shameless collector because variation. But I'll admit there was a time when I was struggling with my identity, motivation and fitness goals. For a little while I was looking for something outside to make my inside feel better, and in the meantime I accumulated tons of interesting fitness stuff. Right about the time I started to change my attitudes and perspectives in life, I started my research for stationary bikes.
The latest badass equipment and so far, the most expensive is the Schwinn 130. I got it for dirt cheap – $110 bucks! – from someone who was selling it on the LetGo App. She admitted to buying it because her doctor told her she shouldn't run anymore due to her plantar fasciitis. So, she bought the bike, but with her busy job schedule and never being home, she never used it. I think it's crazy that she spent over $500.00 for a bike she never tried. She was kind enough to let me try the bike at her house. Then I lugged the Schwinn on a dolly back to the apartment, which was roughly 18 blocks. It was totally worth it!
The Schwinn being in great condition made me super happy! I jumped on the bike as soon as I got home. I didn't think anything could go wrong. BUT by the second day, my body awareness was strong. It was then I realized the bike seat was digging hard into my sit bones. The pain was unbearable. I felt the hairs on my body standing up and within 7 minutes I felt my body cringe and posture cave in. Not even the gel cover that came for free with the rest of the bike supported me in any way. Pedaling became a problem!
So, I found a bike shop to measure my sit bones and bought a new sexy seat – Respiro Athletic Bike Saddle Unisex. Instantly, it felt different. I can now pedal continuously with less pain. Within the second week, I bought women's bike shorts to be extra. And it turns out that it was leaving my vagina numb. I got off the bike believing I broke my lady parts somehow. I returned the bike shorts with gel padding. I love my Schwinn, but I have to tell you that I'm learning more about seat position, bike shorts, saddles, millimeters, bibs and a whole host of other shit I never thought I'd get into.
Work is always in progress.

Minimum Wages
Recently, the Government of Alberta launched a study called; Speak. Share. Thrive. in which they want the public to discuss the guiding principles of the Social Policy Framework, especially at this relates to Early Learning and Child Care. Alberta has the highest "Cost of Living" across Canada and Alberta enjoys the highest take home pay average in Canada and yet has the lowest minimum wage of all provinces. How does this relate to the Social Policy Framework of Alberta?
We can not look at the social and economic factors surrounding minimum wages without regard to the effect on children in families living at or below the poverty line in any society or province. The economic conditions in which they grow and develope are not of their making and yet they are hindered by economic circumstance in: social and cultural adaptation, education, opportunity, sport, and health. All these factors lead to social problems which they will have to meet and overcome as the reach maturity. Empirical evidence shows that most if not near all remain in the lower spectrum of the economic scale. Economics are only part of the hurdle facing children in low income families but, it is a major part and needs to be addressed. Minimum wage levels do play an important role in the economics of low income families.
Questions pertaining to minimum wage.
- What is the social responsibility of a government to set minimum wages at a liveable rate?
- Do families struggling to get by on low paying jobs place a greater burden on social services?
- Will the burden to social services be eased by raising the minimum wage?
- Does raising the minimum wage increase inflation?
- Do companies have an obligation to pay a liveable wage to all their employees?
- Does raising the minimum wage lower a companies profits?
- How does raising prices to compensate for higher minimum wages effect the community/province as a whole?
- Should the minimum wage be set by indexing to the Consumer Price Index?
- Does providing free child care services or other benefits for minimum wage earners justify a lower minimum wage?
- Do students require a higher minimum wage in order to help pay for schooling?
- Should some sectors of the work force be regulated at a lower minimum wage? ie. farm workers? restaurant workers? child care workers? homes for elderly workers? semi-retired workers? students? temporary foreign workers?
- Do employees who collect gratuities (tips) require the same minimum wage as employees who don't?
- Is it discrimination to set a lower minimum wage for servers who receive gratuities?
- Is it proper for restaurants to include a gratuity as part of the bill?
- Does an employee working a secondary income to a well paid primary job holder require a sustainable living wage?
- How could the labor laws differentiate between those on secondary income and those who need a decent wage to provide for the family?
- Would it be fair to increase taxes for secondary income employees in an effort to make secondary incomes at the lower wage end mostly not worth holding the job and therefore provide greater opportunity for single earner families?
- If minimum wage is increased, should the requirements for social security and remaining on employment insurance be strengthened?

The Thing About Weres (Mass Market)
A Mystwalker Novel
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 9781250006417, 432pp.
Publication Date: July 30, 2013
A Mystwalker Novel from Leigh Evans
In the never-ending saga that is my love-hate relationship with Robson Trowbridge, I, half-Were Hedi Peacock, have had a change of heart. Ever since I shoved Trowbridge through the Gates of Merenwyn, I've been the leader of the pack—hard to believe, right? The thing is: I'm half-Fae. So even though my Were side is ready to heed the call of the wild, the other part of me is desperate to take flight. And much as it pains me to admit it, life without Trowbridge is really starting to were me down…
To make matters worse, the wolves of Creemore want my blood—and the North American Council of Weres wants me dead. So I'm just counting the days until Trowbridge returns from the other realm…and comes to my brave rescue…and becomes my alpha mate. Wishful thinking? Of course it is. But given all the mess I've been through already, what's the harm in doing a little bit of daisy-plucking? Besides, Trowbridge owes me bigtime. A girl can dream.

In popular genre, The Thing About Werewolves is fabulously unique and is a true delight." —Romantic Times Book Reviews for The Trouble With Fate

"Her first time at bat, Leigh Evans has hit one out of the park. THE TROUBLE WITH FATE is the perfect mix of romance and action, with characters you can't help but root for and a twist that had me squealing with surprise. Evans offers a brilliant new take on fairies, werewolves, and magic--and this book is urban fantasy and paranormal romance at its best. I am officially addicted." —Chloe Neill, New York Times bestselling author of the Chicagoland Vampires and Dark Elite series on The Trouble With Fate
"What a delicious read! THE TROUBLE WITH FATE is chock full of fun twists and sexy diversions, one of them named Robson. Leigh Evans is definitely one to watch. Get this book! You will not be disappointed!" —Darynda Jones, New York Times bestselling author of the Charley Davidson series

Gorky Park
If, as Auden suggested, the ideal detective-story reader desires an unchanging fictional world in which the same problem is endlessly repeated with minor variations, the ideal reader of a thriller demands almost the opposite, a fix of continuous novelty. The agent becomes over the years double, triple, multiple; he is numbered 007 and licensed to kill. History is invoked and turned on its head as Churchill meets Hitler secretly in Len Deighton. A whole mythology of agency terms is invented to add verisimilitude to John le Carré's spy "Circus." Novelty is provided in Gorky Park by offering a Russian criminal investigator as hero, and Moscow as principal setting. A not very helpful map of the city is used as a frontispiece.
The novelty of this approach, and the well-publicized fact that the author spent only two weeks in the Soviet Union, are in part no doubt responsible for the book's success. Is it also a "powerful, compassionate and original work…a strange and marvelous book…a panoramic view of Russian society today," as readers exultantly say? Not so. Gorky Park is much above the average thriller, but almost equally far below the best of Ambler, Deighton, and le Carré.
Its outstanding virtue is the conviction with which the Moscow settings are rendered, and the assurance with which they are given to us in detail; its particular weaknesses are feeble characterization and an overindulgence in violence. The hero is stabbed (the knife penetrates colon, stomach, and diaphragm), thrown on to the rails of the Moscow Underground, spends months under interrogation in a Soviet psychiatric hospital, and in the final shoot-out, which disposes of most of the other characters, gets bullets in chest and thigh. I may have omitted one or two of his other escapes from death, but those are enough to show his near-immortality. A correction should be made also about "most of the other characters." The shoot-out takes place on Staten Island, but a good many minor characters have already been disposed of in Moscow.
The near-immortal hero is Arkady Renko, "chief investigator" in the police arm of the MVD which "directed traffic, chased drunks and picked up everyday corpses." The story would be more plausible if Renko were a pillar of Soviet orthodoxy, but instead he is that traditional figure, a good guy in a bad organization, with many people ready to deceive him, most hands against him. Renko has no belief in communism, and is at odds with his wife who sets divorce proceedings going during the course of the book. We realize, long before Renko does, that he is being used as a tool by those above him, but it still seems unlikely that he would have kept his position as long as he has.
Accept Renko if you can, accept what I found the jarring convention by which the Russians speak demotic American ("You going to puke?" "We haven't screwed in months." "You'd be a cinch to be a Central Committee Inspector"), and there is a…

What Are Virtual Worlds & What Are Their Uses? [MakeUseOf Explains]
Virtual worlds are, in essence, meeting places. They aren't video games, they aren't chat rooms, and they aren't social networks. They've been around for some time now, and chances are that you have stumbled upon one yourself. The premise of a virtual world is quite simple – users carry on social activities using their avatars in an open virtual environment. While not a video game, users may play games within the world, and while also not a chat room or a social network, users are meant to conduct conversations.
Of course, this is a virtual world. Your environment isn't going to just be full of white picket fences and suburban houses with pink vinyl siding – this ain't your mama's Matrix. In these worlds, you can do anything. You can fly through the clouds, build your home on a deserted island, and be anyone who you want to be. I would compare it to lucid dreaming except in a monitor.
What Are Virtual Worlds?
Human interaction is the goal of these worlds, and no, it isn't so you can IM the girl down the street who you like-like but are totally afraid to talk to in real life because you think she doesn't know you exist (except she does, and she's had a crush on you since the first grade, so she's only dating the class president to make you jealous).
None of that drama exists here.
These worlds are meant for virtual physical human interaction where it would be otherwise impossible. Arguably, it could be said that you could hold better meetings with communication apps like Google Hangouts Tips On Planning & Holding Effective Meetings With Google Hangouts With today's Internet technology, holding online meetings can be both efficient and cost-effective especially if you pre-plan them and make use of time-saving tools. For the last couple of months I've participated in online meetings... Read More . That may be true, but virtual worlds provide opportunities such as world creation, adventures, and the occasional game.
Why Would You Want To Use A Virtual World?
Oh, there are a variety of reasons you might want to use a virtual world. For instance, you could remotely discuss body-hiding plans, arrange for a secret tryst, or even plan for drug shipment routes. Of course, while these reasons are unarguably valid, you likely won't be participating in such a simulation because of them. Yes, there are bad things (milder than what I described), but there are good things too.
Practically speaking, these worlds are fun. Although they are not social networks, they can be used socially to encounter unique people and experiences one could never see in real life. Some worlds are even programmed to resemble real-world locations, so much like a Google Street View or Photo Tour Get A Visual Taste Of History With Google Maps & Google Earth Google Maps and Google Earth have always been known for helping mobility-impaired wunderlusters virtually adventure all over the globe. However, despite any of your current obstacles, it's always possible – whether it be after time... Read More , you can walk around and explore. However, in this case, you can do so with other people. Virtual worlds also provide the occasional game (using whatever means available), allowing for a variety of recreational usages.
Who Else Uses Virtual Worlds?
Many companies actually use these virtual communities for conferences or remote meetings. Rather than paying for a plane trip and a hotel room, you can simply attend from your desktop. Again, it could be argued that video conferencing would be a better tool for a virtual event. There's no denying that video is a great device for this, but at the same time, there's something about the physical aspect of it all.
You can "walk" over to a group and join a conversation, or you could privately engage someone away from the crowd. With that in mind, the physical placement of avatars allows for context: a speaker would be at the front of the room, and listeners would remain in their seats. Virtual classes for universities and business meetings are handled in the same manner. (Parties tend to happen, too!)
Of course, I should mention that other companies see these virtual worlds as advertising opportunities. No, you can't download a Coca-Cola to your PC (yet), but you definitely can see an ad. Thanks to corporate, you can experience advertising in a way that emulates Minority Report. Speaking of Coke, the soda company actually held a contest in April 2007 for users to design an in-game vending machine for Second Life. Crazy, isn't it?
What Virtual Worlds Are Available?
MakeUseOf has already put out an article about virtual worlds such as Second Life, Kaneva, and There 3 Free Online Virtual Worlds Read More . In all honesty, Second Life is about as good as it's going to get. This is by far the widest platform for virtual world exploration, and the others function in a similar manner. However, bear in mind that some of these environments – even though they promote themselves as being free – require the purchase of some paid options for anything wild and crazy. With that said, you can actually sell things in these worlds like character models or attire.
However, there's other stuff out there, too. Here's a list of other worlds that you can explore:
- Onverse
- Twinity
- SmallWorlds
- Active Worlds
Of course, these are just a few virtual worlds that exist online. There are loads more that you likely know about! Do us a favor and leave the URLs to some of your favorite virtual worlds.
What kinds of activities do you do in some of your favorite virtual worlds? Have you ever logged onto to a virtual world? Do you believe that there are any dangers to using a virtual world?

| This minifigure has only appeared in video game(s)
Although this article is about an official minifigure, it never existed in physical form, or appeared in any official LEGO sets.
The Libyan Gunner is a Back to the Future minifigure introduced in LEGO Dimensions in 2015.
The Libyans or Libyan terrorists, also known as Libyan nationalists, were a group of terrorists that were trying to develop a nuclear weapon and asked for the assistance of Doc Brown to build it. However, Doc took the plutonium to power his DeLorean Time Machine and built a mock weapon out of an empty bomb casing filled with used pinball machine parts. This un-named Libyan was the gunner.

The mission of the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics is to ensure that the medically underserved have access to affordable quality health care. The NAFC values volunteerism, generosity, collaboration and human dignity.

I have a situation with a client that (I think) was working previously but at some point recently (perhaps with the upgrade to 22.214.171.12473 firmware) stopped working.
Scenario - Microsoft 365 Teams Only organization, all users with PSTN and Domestic Calling Plans. Using a fleet of Polycom VVX phones, a mix of 411s and 601s. All on the same VLAN behing a NAT router/gateway. All running 126.96.36.19973 and provisioned automatically via the Microsoft Skype for Business online server.
The executive director at this company has 3 offices on campus, and each office has a Polycom VVX 601 phone, signed into her account. We are finding that while this used to work fairly well, about 50% of the time, two-way audio fails. The most reproducible use case is when someone calls her number via PSTN. She answers the phone. She cannot hear the caller, but they can hear her. It happens on all three of her phones, with no discernable pattern. Incidentally, when answering these calls using the Teams mobile app on her smartphone or computer, she doesn't have this problem.
I have tried numerous troubleshooting steps, including going so far as to completely disabling network firewall to eliminate that as a culprit, etc., but it hasn't made any difference. No ports are being blocked in either direction, all traffic is being passed, no ports are being manually forwarded, etc. They have a very good infrastructure (fiber, gigabit ethernet switches, high-bandwidth cable connection 500mbsp down/50mbps up) with low latency, low jitter, etc. They comfortably pass the network assessment test tool tests provided by Microsoft. Necessary DNS records all check out to be correct.
What did however, seem to work, was eliminating all but one of her phones from the network, so that only one is signed into her account. When things are this way, she never has the problem and can always answer and both parties can hear each other.\
My question is, is this a supported scenario, i.e., the ability to have multiple phones signed-in to the same user, on the same LAN? We can't get it to work reliably.
If this is indeed supported, could you suggest any troubleshooting steps, or things I might look for in the log files that might indicate where the problem lies? As a temporary workaround, she's having to use 3 different phone numbers/accounts and has reported that she's having absolutely no problems with 2 way audio, but this is obviously not ideal.

Regarding "Some or a couple of your old post(s) or reply(s) to them => here <= are still open/pending as you have not marked these as "Accept as a solution" or at least provide some form of feedback or answer."
I reviewed what you linked to an as far as I can see, those threads which I started and received replies to, I "Accepted as Solution", with the exception of this one, which I just started today and is obviously not answered. The only other posts of mine that I see were answering questions or contributing to existing threads, so I'm not sure what sort of feedback I'm supposed to submit in that situation.
Hello @rmanjoney ,
I may have been a bit trigger happy but your post => here <= the next step was to open this with Poly support via your reseller.
The same is applicable for this post at some stage.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

It doesn't look as if they purchased any sort of extended support contract on the phones and they are out of warranty, and they don't want to pay $500 for a PPI to just report what seems to be a bug (i.e., was working until last month, auto-updated to 5.9...things stopped working).
Thanks for your help anyway Steffan.
Hello @rmanjoney ,
welcome back to the Poly Community.
As you or your customer found we are not a charitable organization, so as they would do with other larger organizations they deal with, we would charge for out of warranty cases.
The good news is they can always roll back to software where they do not experience the issue.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

A group of Israeli settlers rode a red ATV into a densely populated Palestinian area in the West Bank city of Hebron yesterday to taunt and threaten locals. The incident was recorded by Hebron 90.4 FM's correspondent Musab Shaawer and shared online by Palestinian media.
"Where are all the Arabs? They left you and joined us," an Israeli settler yells in the video to Palestinians nearby while a group of young women accompanying him look on and laugh. "We go to heaven, you go to hell," he adds.
And in a final ominous warning the settler says: "If war breaks out the Jews will come here and evict and kill you all."

Lake Charles is located in the southwestern corner of Louisiana and is the fifth largest city in the state.

From petrochemicals to education to tourism and more, Lake Charles has many different things to offer residents and visitors alike.
- Fun fact: Did you know that Lake Charles is #54 on the list of "Top 100 cities with shortest commuting times (pop. 50,000+)"?
Auto Insurance Coverage Requirements in Louisiana
Automotive insurance is required in Louisiana, and Lake Charles drivers need to have proof of the following coverage:
|Most Common
|Bodily Injury Liability
|Property Damage Liability
|Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury
|Not required
|Medical Payments
|Not required
|Not required
|500 deductible
|Not required
|50 deductible
You'd think that requiring such little coverage in Louisiana would make average rates cheaper. Well, it actually makes them much more expensive (see below). Why, exactly? Well, it's likely that because your insurer assumes everyone else is covering less coverage, and that they will have to pay out more on claims as a result, that they increase their rates to offset that potential burden.
Louisiana auto insurance rates are some of the highest in the country. Your typical motorists could be paying $164 or more on average. Luckily, Lake Charles drivers have a chance to save a lot of money. You could get insured for as little as $72/mo* if you act quickly. We'll show you what to do.
Southern Farm Bureau, and State Farm all want your business in Lake Charles – and they're pricing their auto policies competitively low in order to get it. Before you decide to switch, though, do a little research and make sure the company offering the lower rate is the right company for you.
Auto insurance companies contemplate different factors when assessing insurance quotes, including marital status, driving violations, occupation, driving distance to work, and theft protection devices. In addition, premiums differ from provider to provider. To make sure you're still getting the most favorable rate, compare cheap Lake Charles auto insurance quotes online.

Major Car Insurance Factors in Lake Charles
There are several important factors that many drivers don't realize will significantly influence how much they pay per month for insurance. And those are explained below:
Your Zip Code
The cheapest auto insurance is normally found in cities with a lower population density. Because there are fewer automobiles on the streets, there are fewer opportunities for you to get into a major car accident with another driver. The population of Lake Charles is 71,475 and the median household income is $34,304.
Automotive Accidents
Take a look at the chart below. Areas with low rates of accidents tend to have lower insurance premiums, also. Per capita, the accident rate for the Lake Charles area is actually fairly low. This may already be helping your premium costs in ways you weren't aware of.
Auto Thefts in Lake Charles
Living in a large city (Especially one with a high crime rate) will increase your risk of being a victim of auto theft. If your general location has high rates of theft and claims, you can expect to pay more for auto insurance to offset these costs. The total number of stolen vehicles in Lake Charles was 133 back in 2010.
Your Credit Score
Those who aren't keeping a close and careful eye on their credit score may end up literally paying for it in the form of higher insurance premiums. Just take a look at the chart below. Drivers with poor credit are paying double or more the premiums which drivers with perfect credit are.
Your Age
Are you a teenage driver who is about to purchase car insurance for the first time? If so, the numbers in the chart below probably look terrifying. Luckily, there is hope. If you are still in school and getting good grades, there are some lucrative Good Student discounts you may qualify for. You can also get a Driver's Ed discount with a driver training course.
Your Driving Record
Have you heard of "Accident Forgiveness"? It's a great new type of discount where certain insurance providers will ignore a minor blemish on your driving record when calculating your premiums. This will likely lower your monthly rate if you qualify.
Your Vehicle
Would you risk insuring a luxury vehicle with Liability coverage only? Most people would not leave such an expensive investment vulnerable like that. Which is why luxury vehicle insurance tends to cost so much more. You have to buy more coverage, and in greater amounts, in order to protect your vehicle completely.
Minor Car Insurance Factors in Lake Charles
Of course, there are also these factors:
Your Marital Status
If you're married, odds are you are already taking advantage of bundling discounts. But if you aren't, you definitely should be. Bundling your policies together will net you some pretty big savings. It's your insurance company's way of saying 'thank you' for trusting them with your business.
Your Gender
The practice of charging men and women different premiums based on gender alone is slowly fading out of the auto insurance industry. Those who still do charge men and women differently only vary by about 1-2%, and even then, whether it's males or females who end up paying more will vary from one business to another.
Your Driving Distance to Work
While 15-20 minutes is a very common commute time for workers in Lake Charles, it is also highly likely to spend only 10-15 minutes getting to work. And for those who have to commute to get to the office, nearly 80% drive their own car. Slightly more than 10% carpool with their co-workers.
Even if you try to save money on insurance premiums by slashing your mileage by thousands each year, at best you'll save 1-3%, on average. Driving recreationally, however, has some savings advantages. This is because business vehicles cost 11-12% more in premiums each month.
Your Coverage and Deductibles
Thinking about raising your deductible? It's not a bad idea; as a matter of fact, it's a great way to lower your monthly insurance payments. Make sure you save a little extra money away for a rainy day, however, because you will have to pay that deductible if you find yourself filing a claim.
Education in Lake Charles, LA
Many drivers may not know that achieving a higher education can earn you a lower rate on your car insurance. It's actually more effective than earning a great salary or having a good job. In Lake Charles, almost one-third of drivers have their high school diploma or an equivalent degree. A slightly smaller number of drivers have not yet completed their high school education.
One of the most popular choices for a higher education in Lake Charles is McNeese State University. It is a public, four-year institution which offers Bachelor's and graduate degrees to nearly 10,000 students. They are especially well known for their education, business, and engineering schools. For a more specialized degree, consider looking into the Sowela Technical Community College.
Determining your own financial risk can be extremely hard or impossible for the typical insurance shopper. Insurance companies have an edge on consumers because of their statistics and experiential knowledge. Learn what insurance companies don't want you to know. Learn more about Lake Charles.
How We Conducted Our Car Insurance Analysis
*We calculated our average rate based on the following metrics: a married, 34 year old male with good credit, a 12-month history of maintaining auto insurance, a clean driving record, who owns his own home. Miles driven annually were based on the national average. The average rate was also calculated based on a financed 2015 Honda Accord with a pre-installed anti-theft device.

New books How Trump Won and the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents, Part 1, From Washington to Taft, available now!
Larry Schweikiart has changed publishers, to Regnery. His first Regnery book is the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents, Volume 1, from Washington to Taft. (Actually volume 2 was published first, over a year ago). This takes a snapshot look at all our first 20+ presidents, giving each a constitutional grade. You'd be surprised who did well—and who did poorly.
How Trump Won: the Inside Story of a Revolution, with Breitbart senior editor Joel Pollak, takes an "inside/outside" look at the Trump campaign. Joel wrote the campaign journal on the press plane with Donald Trump, while Larry and his "deplorable" colleagues were number crunching, coming to the conclusion early that Trump would win and that it wouldn't be all that close.
Coming soon: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the American Revolution, with the co-author of the Patriot's History of the Modern World series, Dave Dougherty.
A Patriot's History of the United States continues to be in high demand. This month it will go into its 28th (!!) printing and its third edition, with almost 500,000 copies in print. It continues to be a stalwart among homeschoolers and we routinely receive notices from high school teachers and college professors that they are using it in their classes. Thank you all for making Patriot's History the #1 choice of American patriots everywhere.

NEW YORK — Jeremy Hefner and the Mets handed Patrick Corbin his first loss, breaking away from the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1 on a drizzly Tuesday night and sending the NL West leaders to their season-worst fifth straight defeat.
NEW YORK — Jeremy Hefner and the Mets handed Patrick Corbin his first loss, breaking away from the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1 on a drizzly Tuesday night and sending the NL West leaders to their season-worst fifth straight defeat.
Josh Satin hit an RBI double that put the Mets ahead 2-1 in a seven-run seventh inning that lasted about 2 hours, albeit with a rain delay of 1 hour, 41 minutes in the middle.
When Arizona retook the field, there was another halt — the grounds crew hadn't redrawn the batter's boxes or put a rosin bag on the mound. Corbin was pulled when play resumed and the Mets broke it open against the bullpen, with Omar Quintanilla hitting a two-run single and Eric Young Jr. lining a two-run double.
Anthony Recker, who began the day batting .157, hit a solo home run in the fifth and added an RBI single in the seventh. Quintanilla singled home a run in the eighth.
Hefner (3-6) outpitched Corbin (9-1) as the Diamondbacks continued a most curious streak — their starting pitchers are 0-11 in 24 games since June 5. Arizona fell to 1-7 on its road trip after two straight losses to begin this four-game visit to Citi Field.
Hefner allowed four hits, struck out six and walked two in seven innings. It was his sixth start in a row permitting two or fewer earned runs.
Martin Prado homered off Hefner in the seventh, tying it at 1. Prado was the only hitter on the Arizona roster who had previously faced Hefner.
Corbin was trying to become the first lefty starter in the majors to begin a season 10-0 since Ron Guidry opened 13-0 for the Yankees in 1978.
Corbin, 23, left with the bases loaded and no outs when play was delayed. All three runners scored, and he was charged with a season-high five runs. He was denied in a sixth try for his 10th win of the season.
Satin doubled home David Wright and extended his hitting streak to eight games, and is batting .390 (16-for-41) this season. Satin has been playing first base since Ike Davis was demoted to the minors, and his lively bat has impressed manager Terry Collins.
Notes — Young started at 2B in place of Daniel Murphy. Collins said Murphy was worn down and "stinkin' out of gas." Murphy pinch-hit in the seventh and stayed in. ... Wright has taken a lead of nearly 850,000 over the Giants' Pablo Sandoval in fan voting to start at 3B for the NL in the All-Star game at Citi Field. ... Mike Piazza has been added to the roster for the All-Star celebrity softball game at Citi Field on July 14. Comedian Chris Rock, actor Kevin James and singer Ashanti also will take part. ... Hefner struck out in both of his at-bats. He is 0-for-23 — the most at-bats of any player in the majors this year without a hit.

What lies now? I cannot keep track of them all... But what I do know is that it only gives us more to weed through to find the truth and it only diminishes the effort to find a conclusion.
On top of that it sends the family in a tail spin of who and what to believe. Like they need that! really.. I think they have enough on them right now to have to deal with he said/she said BS.
On that note, I'm am sorry that I am constantly put in the position to have to stick-up for myself, a contributor, or any posters here because others seam to get-off on dragging innocent people into their lair of conspiracy theories.
So now that I am out of the picture they need a new target, they aimed, they set, they fired... this time on a person that has never posted on the Blink on crime ahhh,... erm,.. whatever you call it? Blog?
Who might that be ya say? One of our contributors; jmmb, they (Blink) have now accused jmmb of using multiple screen names along with another poster, that I will bring up later.
Do you know what this means folks? It means a couple of things, I'll try to tell you.
1) It means that a so-called investigator does not have the investigative skills to research something as simple as an IP address with multiple free internet IP search tools available.
2) jmmb has NEVER posted on Blinks site, so that means that in order for Blink to have jmmb's personal internet information to even assume that jmmb would be using multiple screen names someone had to give out that personal info for someone/another blog) to try to match that info up to the poster, so, another blog or forum is sharing that personal information. Hmmm? (be careful where you post if value your info)
Now let us visit just a few post, shall we?

Blink, Question. Is soothsayer anyone you know or is he/she from the Tattler?
No idea, but I answer that out of respect for you, I am not one to "out" people. People post under different ?hats all the time I can't verify. What' s the issue?
- Comment by XXXXX — September 13, 2009 @ 8:15 pm
So no more Xtraham either?
That would be a NO. ( Insert own inference)

Yeah Homegrown can promise to utilize the "red x', but will he follow through???? (we can only hope and pray ;>)
I promise he will.

#267, okay, but after you start stealing catalytic converters off of cars, where do you turn them in?
That seems like it must be someplace under the table.
Or, I guess what I mean to say is that, unless the scrap metal guy is a crook, he would have to get a little suspicious if someone starts showing up with a whole bunch of catalytic converters, right?
He could have gone out of town, to various places, I would guess.
Sorry XXXXXX, I cannot candone multiple IP and email addys. It is deceptive and not permitted here.
"I am not one to "out" people. People post under different ?hats all the time I can't verify. What' s the issue?

Blink, can we post this article (and any others on this site) to another sites so long as we link back. You know, to get more exposure???
Well, you could if your request was in good faith, JMMB. But as you apparently have the same ip dysphoria as your *cough* associate, no, you may not. BTW, late for the permission request anyway. There is no "retro" in copyrighting, ps..
Considering your the 7th of 9, that allegedly have access to 3 computers albeit simultaneously, well, really 2 if you believe one of the "alters". How weird is it in that cramped enviornment to have such diametrically opposed viewpoints within minutes of each other. Wow. It's like an MPD hive at the water cooler in "real time". Honey provided.
Best Regards,
As I stated early on, jmmb has never posted on blinks site.. EVER.
Soooo, How, where, or whom would give blink jmmb's personal internet information to match this person up to jmmb? (refer back to my IP post) IP's are not unique to each user all the time.
Looks like to me they are doing what us PPE's have been accused of doing, wasting valuable time and resources just to look for a fight.
Well the PPE's are NOT, but it sure is obvious who is.
We are, and we continue to drudge through the mud for the truth.... then reveal it. We focus on the issue.. and they will see that in the end. Even if they don't, I know in my heart that I have done the right thing.
The PPE's have been stomped constantly and we come back to help. That folks is real people for the people. Not the garbage we see above from other sites. And that's just a drop in the bucket, I do not have time to even play games with the really stupid stuff like the Wic. co. landfill and/or the Deputy Fire-marshal, fires in Parsonsburg conspiracies (50 miles away) ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect. ect.

Lone Sharks – Concerts in the ParkWednesday | 06:30 PM - 08:30 PM (07/31/2019) , Duration: 02:00 Categories: Concerts in the Park, Music
Lone Sharks
Wednesday, July 31st, 6:30PM @ Cooper's Beach
GENE CASEY formed the Lone Sharks having moved to Long Island's East End in 1988, having received his baptism performing in the NYC / NJ area (Mudd Club, CBGBs, Maxwell's, et. al) the waning days of punk/new wave. The Lone Sharks became a mainstay in the late 1990s Hamptons music scene, when bars were plentiful and audiences robust and loyal. Throughout the 90s and into the new century Gene and the ever-evolving line-up of Sharks men were the house band at The Wild Rose Cafe, a Bridgehampton night spot where packed houses danced to the roots rock and swing.
Concerts in the Park Series Sponsored By

Speaking about the new financial services legislation that they were up all night to complete, Sen. Chris Dodd saw fit to paraphrase Nancy Pelosi in one of her finer moments:
"No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done."
Am I the only one who is flabbergasted that the Democrats think this is an acceptable line of argument? Would you ever tell your boss, "You know, I think it's a great company, but we're going to have to buy it to find out what's in it." Or "Yeah, I think we did great last quarter, but we're going to have to file that financial statement to find out what's in it." It's the political equivalent of buying a car off Craigslist without seeing it first, and justifying it by saying, "It took me losing a lot of money on a few other lemons to reach this historic achievement."
It would almost be overlooked as a vapid statement by a 70-something Senator who didn't sleep the night before, but Pelosi's statement has been mocked so thoroughly — it appears in seemingly every story about the health care bill containing nasty surprises — no politician worth his salt could repeat such words without instantly realizing his error. Of course, the guy is retiring, after all.
No wonder Democrats are hitting historic lows in the generic ballot. As Barone says, it's a lethal mixture of pervasive incompetence and unpopular ideology.
UPDATE: Rob Long pointed out this gem from the same press conference. about the same bill.
"This is about as important as it gets, because it deals with every single aspect of our lives," said Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.), a chief architect of the compromise.
Oh, good. So we don't have to worry at all.
