HÀ NỘI — Hà Nội's People's Committee on Wednesday urged the city's police department and Department of Health to investigate the death of an eight-month-old on January 23.
The child was allegedly mistakenly injected by a nurse at Đông Anh General Hospital.
In a document sent to relevant authorities, chairman of the committee Nguyễn Đức Chung asked directors of the city's Police Department and Health Department to clarify the case of the newborn, who was mistakenly injected on January 15.
On the same day, the baby girl was hospitalised for coughing and diarrhoea with fever. She was diagnosed as suffering from diarrhoea and a sore throat, and was treated accordingly.
However, on that night, Hoàng Thu Trang, a nurse from the hospital, mistakenly injected the baby with kali-chlorid instead of letting her drink it. The baby turned pale, and her heart began beating fast after the injection.
She was immediately rushed to Saint Paul Hospital, but suffered from brain death and died eight days later.— VNS

Jackie Cohen – surprising music from LA's most surprised musician
A testament to the healing power of art, and friendships
"I think I was just a little surprised. I was a legitimate step one, phase one beginner," Jackie Cohen tells me when I ask her how she knew the songs she was writing for her first EP were any good. She's sipping on an iced coffee, cross-legged on the floor of a rental apartment in Virginia. It's early morning and Cohen is fighting off the last vestiges of a flu that won't quite shift. Later, she'll head to Montrose Studios, where she's working with Spacebomb Records on her new material. This iteration of her life – a musician touring the country, recording tracks she has written herself – is something of an unexpected turn. She only began working on her own music as an experiment, seized by the need to make something in the midst of a creative and emotional lull after leaving college, where she minored in creative writing. Her college experience, she says, was "taxing", and feeling reluctant to return to her job as a marketing consultant she decided to teach herself piano using laminated chord sheets, just to see if she could discover a new way to express herself.
"And so when I started writing songs and I was, like, plucking away and coming up with a way to be creative again, it felt really good. I was definitely self-conscious about it. I still don't think of myself that way – I'm not a musician because I can't really play anything very well. I was surprised that I was writing songs at all. I didn't know I could do that. It wasn't like I wrote my first song and was like, 'Wow! This is brilliant! I'm a genius!' It was more, like, 'I can do this. And I like it.'"
Perhaps, though, this transformation into singer-songwriter isn't quite as surprising as it seems. Cohen's husband is Jonathan Rado, producer and one half of indie-rock duo Foxygen, and she has spent time touring with them, during and after college, working as a backing singer. In fact, she's been singing with Rado since ninth grade, when he and Sam France, the other half of Foxygen, asked Cohen and her sister to join them at a set at Whisky a Go Go in their home city of LA. "We said yes, and at the last minute my sister bailed out, but I was like, 'I wanna go!' I was already a big fan of their music. They circulated CDs at school, just like burn CDs, and my sister and her boyfriend had them and I was already listening to them and I just thought they were the coolest thing ever. And so I went. I didn't really know them that well, so I showed up for our five-minute rehearsal right before the show, and I've kind of been in the band since then."
Since she started making her own music, being Rado's partner has become more difficult. Not only because of the obvious pressure of writing your first ever songs with one half of Foxygen in the other room, but because of other people's assumptions. "A lot of people ask me when they hear I'm making music, 'do you write your songs or does Rado write them?' And I'm like, 'No. I write my songs.'" Although, of course, it helps when your husband is making an album with The Lemon Twigs (2016's 'Do Hollywood') and he can invite them over to the house to record the instrumentals for your EP.

Whether the Court's chipping away at Title VII is an attempt to make Title VII into a 21st century diamond, or an attempt to make it a 21st century pile of diamond dust, or merely an attempt to interpret Title VII consistent with its text is a matter of opinion. This Article explores how the Court is interpreting and reinterpreting Title VII and necessarily considers whether the Court's reinterpretation will likely reinvigorate or damage Title VII' s broad goal of workplace equality. This Article tentatively considers what may be next for Title VII. Part I briefly discusses Title VII's scope. Part II notes how some of the Court's recent cases affect Title VII doctrine. Part III suggests how the Court's decisions may affect Title VII's ability to facilitate a broad vision of equality in the workplace.

Sep 30, 2019
Welcome to episode 73 of The Grace Cafe Podcast. Let's talk about what happens when our personal preferences become hard and fast rules that we impose on others. Paul said that he wanted to know nothing among others except Jesus Christ and him crucified. But we get caught up in side issues like legalism, tribal doctrine, and religious tradition that take us away from what really matters and close down any chance for meaningful and honest conversation. Sometimes the freedom we have in Christ scares those who aren't experiencing it to the degree that we are and as a result, we get labeled or categorized with various names and we're considered dangerous or rogue.
We talk about these things and more in this episode as we share with you a couple of personal stories that reinforce our ability to forget our identity in Jesus and forget how free he has made us. We also reference and recommend this music video by Jason Gray - Remind Me Who I Am:

Cùng KTDC IELTS tham khảo tài liệu phần Writing Task 2, một model essay với chủ đề thú vị Technology vs traditional skills (Opinion)
The use of the internet has increased considerably in recent times. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Model Essay band 8.0 topic Technology vs traditional skills
The amount of time people spend on-line has increased exponentially during the past two decades. Some people argue that this trend has had a negative impact on society whereas others are of the opinion that it has been advantageous overall.
It cannot be denied that the rise in internet usage has created some problems. Firstly, it has affected how people interact, as there is now more of a tendency to communicate on-line by sending messages rather than engage in face to face interaction. This, in turn, has negatively affected people's social skills. Furthermore, the internet presents some substantial security risks to both people and businesses. For example, there have been some high-profile cases reported in the news in which company databases were hacked and individuals' personal information was used fraudulently.
However, there is no doubt that the internet has been massively beneficial. To begin, it has transformed the way that we conduct our lives, making communication easier and more cost effective. For instance, people can now maintain relationships and share life events with anyone around the globe for a minimal cost via online applications such as Viber, Skype, and Facebook. Another key advantage is the convenience that the internet provides in many of our daily activities. Specifically, unlike in the past, people can shop on-line, carry out research for their studies or work and enjoy an array of online entertainment from the comfort of their own home.
In conclusion, although the growth in online activity poses some significant problems, overall it has been a positive development. I firmly believe that if individuals take precautions, the internet will continue to play an increasingly fundamental role in our daily lives.

If you love blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or strawberries and suffer from type 2 diabetes, the Dole Food Company Nutrition Institute has good news for you. According to recent studies in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating more of any berry-type could lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by 18%. For every 17 grams of berries eaten per day (that's about 13 blueberries, nine raspberries, two blackberries or one big strawberry), the risk of type 2 diabetes dropped by 5%. Scientists attribute this to anthocyanins – this is the phytonutrient that gives berries their vibrant colour. Anthocyanins pack both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power, which means they counteract free radical damage, manage inflammation and reduce blood glucose and insulin resistance. Anthocyanins can also aid in the metabolism of sugars and fats. All this can help you to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Someone wrote some article today about how nba PED testing is really good, actually
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 30 August 2019 17:36 (eleven months ago) link
I'd venture to say that PED testing is generally good for the players, in that most PEDs are terrible for their health, both short term and long term. Removing all restrictions on PEDs would lead to an 'arms race' among players to find the particular witch's brew of drugs that might give them the greatest edge, and every player would feel compelled to participate in that arms race.

― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 30 August 2019 17:47 (eleven months ago) link
There's been a hide-and-seek game going on for half a century between the users of PEDs and the testers for PEDs, so any testing regime had better be up to date and hard to beat or else it's a waste of the league's money.

Powell is an unincorporated community in Knox County, Tennessee, United States. The area is located in the Emory Road corridor (State Route 131), just north of Knoxville, southeast of Clinton, and east of Oak Ridge. The United States Geographic Names System classifies Powell as a populated place.[1] It is included in the Knoxville, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Despite its status as unincorporated, Powell is considered to be more of an "independent" small town than a suburb. One of the reasons behind this is that it was established in 1789 (two years before the establishment of Knoxville) by settlers passing through East Tennessee into the frontier. Among these early settlers was Stockley Donelson (1753–1804), a brother-in-law of President Andrew Jackson. Donelson's home, now known as the Alexander Bishop House, still stands on Bishop Lane.[2] Another early settler was John Manifee, a Revolutionary War veteran who built a small fort and trading station along what is now Clinton Highway in the late 1780s.[3]
The community's name is derived from the Powell Station train stop, which was in turn named for Columbus Powell, a prominent local resident.[3] The train station is not currently in use but remains in the town's "downtown" area. The railroad was essential to economy of early 20th century Powell as bricks were made with the mud from Beaver Creek and loaded onto the tracks and sent to various locations.[3] The tracks were originally part of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway (now part of the Norfolk Southern line).
The influence of the Old South's culture can still be seen today in Powell, mainly by architecture. There are several Antebellum homes located along Emory Road and the original neighborhoods of Powell. Several of the older homes in the original part of Powell are believed to have been used as Confederate hospitals during the Civil War.
Powell lies in the Beaver Creek Valley between Copper Ridge and Beaver Ridge, two narrow ridges typical of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. It is situated along Emory Road (SR 131) about halfway between Halls and Karns, and roughly spans the area between Interstate 75 to the east, and Clinton Highway (U.S. Route 25W) to the west. Knoxville lies opposite Beaver Ridge to the southeast.
- The Weigel's chain of convenience stores started and is still headquartered in Powell.
- The largest employer in Powell is DeRoyal Industries, which manufactures and markets medical products.
- Powell was home to a Levi's jeans manufacturing plant that closed in 2002. The former Levi's property, adjacent to DeRoyal Industries, is now the site of Crown College.[4]
Public schools in Powell, operated by Knox County Schools, are:
- Powell High School
- Powell Middle School
- Powell Elementary School
- Brickey-McCloud Elementary School
- Copper Ridge Elementary School
Church-related educational institutions in the community include:
Powell is well-noted throughout Knox County for its intense support of Powell High School Panther athletics. Powell High School constructed a new football stadium in 2009 and the football team is sponsored by Nike. The Panthers were Tennessee State Runners-Up in 1991 and 2011.[5]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2011)
Temple Baptist Church is a church located at 1700 Beaver Creek Drive in Powell.[6]
First Baptist Church is located at 7706 Ewing Road in Powell.
Many other smaller churches such as One Life-North, Powell Presbyterian, and Bells Camground Baptist are also located in Powell.
Notable people[edit]
- John Cooper, ESPN college football analyst, member of the College Football Hall of Fame, and former head football coach at Ohio State, Arizona State, and Tulsa.
- Lee Smith, NFL tight end
- John Bruhin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard

Moto Morini 1200 Corsaro Veloce
WE LOVE LOTUS CARS for their basic simplicity and straight forwardness. They are built for driving and nothing else.
The same goes for this bike. It is clear that the only place for it is on the road or on a track. It is built to thrill and give its rider an adrenaline kick as soon as he or she gets on it and brings it to life.
Regular guest
It was only a few months back when we published a post on another exciting build by our friend Pepo Rosell from Spain ('Spiced up paprika'). The colours of that Ducati were also our inspiration to start this piece with the name of a famous car brand.
Although Pepo has decided to hang around Italians a bit more for this new project, it is based on a brand that we seldomly see on the road.
Which is a shame.
But it is even rarer to have one featured in the columns of online custom bike platforms. In fact, this is the only one we could find.
Birthday gift
Celebrating its 10th birthday, the Spanish outlet decided to give the 2009 produced Italian a complete makeover as a birthday gift. In spite of the fact the Moto Morini Corsaro 1200 Veloce was treated with some proper TLC in Pepo's salon, it rolled into the daylight looking like a beast.
It looks and is a radical bike, reminiscent of the classic Bol d'Or racers of the past. Even with the classic racer look, the XTR Pepo team has managed to put their signature stamp on this build.
Glemseck inspired
The commission for this project was agreed on during the Glemseck 101 festival and it was for the pure power of this machine that the Moto Morini was chosen as a donor vehicle.
It packs a respectable 140 Hp and 123Nm, which should be sufficient to launch you off the planet.
Endurance racer
It is clear a lot of effort went into the process of producing a racer that holds its own. The front end was lowered and a whole new subframe was welded on.
This forces the rider in a permanent racing position, which is actually the only way you'd want to ride this baby.
'Aggressive' is the only word fitting enough to describe it.
Fairing enough
Adding impact is the front fairing. Originally mounted on a Suzuki RG 250, it found its way to the Moto Morini after some modifications.
The headlights are original, but now mounted on a simple and racing heritage reminiscent aluminium frame.
The heat is on
As rider body temperature may well rise when riding the wild Italian, the engine still requires proper cooling.
The original design of the Moto Morini radiator was not fitting to the picture Pepo had in his head. It was exchanged for a Ducati 999 part.
When stripping the Duc, it was decided the tank would look good on the Morini too. But why do it the easy way if you can produce a stunner with some extra effort?
A striking billet aluminium twin-cap filler by Fuchs workshop was inserted in the fuel reservoir and no less than 20 bolts hold it in place, further boosting the race look of the Corsaro 1200.
We just love all the little details of this particular bike and the numerous hints that bring back fond memories of tough guys trying to keep control of their savage machines in the 70's and '80's during those magical endurance races.
We can only say; "Keep on bringing it on Pepo. We love it!"

Lionsgate present the original uncut version of The Possession, featuring footage never before seen in cinemas. To celebrate its release on DVD and Blu-ray from 21 January, Exquisite Terror has copies of the film to give away on DVD.
Based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil.
Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fear the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.

The Edict of Fontainebleau (October 1685) was an edict issued by Louis XIV of France, also known as the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The Edict of Nantes of 1598, had granted the Huguenots the right to practice their religion without persecution from the state. Though Protestants had lost their independence in places of refuge under Richelieu, they continued to live in comparative security and political contentment. From the outset, religious toleration in France had been a royal, rather than a popular policy.[1] The lack of universal adherence to his religion did not sit well with Louis XIV's vision of perfected autocracy: "Bending all else to his will, Louis XIV resented the presence of heretics among his subjects."[2]
The Edict of Nantes, had been issued on 13 April 1598, by Henry IV of France. It had granted the Calvinist Protestants of France (also known as Huguenots) substantial rights in a predominately Catholic nation. Through the Edict, Henry had aimed to promote civil unity.[3] The Edict treated some Protestants with tolerance and opened a path for secularism. It offered general freedom of conscience to individuals and many specific concessions to the Protestants, such as amnesty and the reinstatement of their civil rights, including the right to work in any field or for the State and to bring grievances directly to the king. It marked the end of the religious wars that had afflicted France during the second half of the 16th century.
By the Edict of Fontainebleau, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes and ordered the destruction of Huguenot churches, as well as the closing of Protestant schools. This policy made official the persecution already enforced since the dragonnades created in 1681 by the king in order to intimidate Huguenots into converting to Catholicism. As a result of the officially sanctioned persecution by the dragoons who were billeted upon prominent Huguenots, a large number of Protestants — estimates range from 210,000 to 900,000 — left France over the next two decades. They sought asylum in England, the United Provinces, Sweden, Switzerland, Brandenburg-Prussia, Denmark, Protestant states of the Holy Roman Empire, the Cape Colony in Africa, and North America.[4] They left without money, but took with them many skills. In the host nations they established small businesses and their new ideas revitalised indigenous industries. On 17 January 1686, Louis XIV himself claimed that out of a Huguenot population of 800,000 to 900,000, only 1,000 to 1,500 had remained in France.
Louis XIV's pious second wife Madame de Maintenon was a strong advocate of Protestant persecution and urged Louis to revoke Henry IV's edict; her confessor and spiritual adviser, François de la Chaise, must be held largely responsible.
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes created a state of affairs in France similar to that of virtually every other European country of the period (with the brief exception of Great Britain and possibly the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), where only the majority state religion was legally tolerated. The experiment of religious toleration in Europe was effectively ended for the time being.
The Edict of Fontainebleau is compared by many historians with the 1492 Alhambra Decree, ordering the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain; and with Expulsion of the Moriscos during 1609-1614. The three are similar both as outbursts of religious intolerance ending periods of relative tolerance, and in their social and economic effects. In practice, the revocation caused France to suffer a kind of early brain drain, as it lost a large number of skilled craftsmen, including key designers such as Daniel Marot. Upon leaving France, Huguenots took with them knowledge of important techniques and styles — which had a significant effect on the quality of the silk, plate glass, silversmithing (see: Huguenot silver), watchmaking, and cabinet making industries of those regions to which they relocated. Some rulers, such as Frederick Wilhelm, Duke of Prussia and Elector of Brandenburg, who issued the Edict of Potsdam in late October 1685, encouraged the Protestants to seek refuge in their nations.
In practice, the stringency of policies outlawing Protestants, opposed by the Jansenists,[5] were relaxed during the reign of Louis XV, especially among discreet members of the upper classes. "The fact that a hundred years later, when Protestants were again tolerated, many of them were found to be both commercially prosperous and politically loyal indicates that they fared far better than the Catholic Irish", R.R. Palmer concluded.[2]
By the end of the 18th century, prominent French philosophers and literary personalities of the day, including Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, were making persuasive arguments to promote religious tolerance. Efforts by Guillaume-Chrétien de Malesherbes, minister to Louis XVI, and Jean-Paul Rabaut Saint-Etienne, spokesman for the Protestant community in France, working with members of the parlement of the Ancien Régime, were particularly effective convincing the king to open French society over the concern expressed by some advisors. Thus, on 7 November 1787, Louis XVI signed the Edict of Versailles, known as the Edict of Tolerance, which was registered in parlement two-and-one-half months later, on 29 January 1788. This edict offered relief to all faiths – Calvinist Huguenots, Lutherans, as well as Jews – giving followers the civil and legal recognition, as well as the right to openly form congregations after 102 years of prohibition. Full religious freedom had to wait two more years, with enactment of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of 1789. However, the 1787 Edit of Tolerance was a pivotal step in eliminating religious strife and it officially ended religious persecution in France.[6] Moreover, once French Revolutionary armies got to other European countries, they followed a consistent policy of emancipating persecuted or discriminated religious communities (Catholic in some countries, Protestant in others, Jews in virtually all).

No one but you and your dentist needs to know that you're straightening your teeth when you choose Invisalign. The innovative brace alternative substitutes clear aligner trays for brackets and wires to correct common orthodontic problems. Virginia Beach, VA, dentist, Dr. Jason Campbell, explains how Invisalign works.
A new approach to straightening
Metal braces may be effective, but many people find them unattractive. The Invisalign system's clear aligner trays are designed to be almost invisible. The trays exert constant pressure on your teeth, gradually changing their alignment. Best of all, the aligner trays are removable.
Before you receive your aligners, we'll take photographs of your mouth and make impressions of your teeth in our Virginia Beach office. The images and impressions will be combined with X-rays to create a 3D digital model of your mouth. By manipulating the image, we will determine how to correct crowding, spacing or bite issues. A few weeks after your first Invisalign appointment, you'll receive your new aligners. Each set of aligners is designed to be worn for about two weeks before it's replaced with the next set in the series.
Invisalign offers comfort and convenience
There are no wires to irritate your gums, mouth or lips with the Invisalign system. The trays are made of comfortable plastic that make it easy to wear your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day. Because your aligners are created from impressions of your mouth, they'll fit perfectly and won't interfere with your ability to speak normally.
Keeping your teeth clean takes longer when you wear metal braces. Scrupulous brushing and flossing is necessary to make sure you eliminate every speck of food. If you don't, you could experience cavities. Because you'll remove your aligner trays to eat and brush and floss, your oral hygiene routine won't change.
You also won't have to make any changes to your diet. Metal brace wearers must avoid hard foods that damage wires and sticky foods that are difficult to remove. Luckily, you won't have to worry about these restrictions when you choose Invisalign.
Ready to improve your smile with Invisalign? Call Virginia Beach, VA, dentist, Dr. Campbell, at (757) 689-4363 to schedule an appointment.

Palin Plummetts In Polls (Again!!!)
Here we go again. The people have spoken and they do not like Sarah Palin. Why then does Palin continue to play cat and mouse with the idea of running for the Presidency? Better yet, why does the Media and public (including Lynnrockets) pay any attention to this inconsequential person?
CNN reports that the most recent Pew Research Center Poll released August 25th reveals that 41% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters say there is "no chance" they would vote for Sarah Palin in a presidential race. That is the second highest rejection rate of any Republican candidate, exceeded only by Newt Gingrich.
Additionally, the most recent Gallup Survey released August 24th reveals that in a race that includes all the current candidates, plus Palin and Rudy Giuliani, the former Alaska governor would draw only 11 percent of the vote.
Finally, the most recent Public Policy Polling survey released August 23rd and conducted in Iowa (where Palin has been spending a lot of time lately) reveals that she is in a lowly 5th place among GOP candidates.
These poll results emerged smack-dab in the midst of the war of words between Karl Rove and Palin's political action committee SarahPAC, regarding Palin's dithering over her decision to enter the race. The polls all show that it does not matter if the former ex-quitting half-term Alaska Gov. enters the race. Even if she does, she is doomed to defeat.
So, as for the two questions posited in our first paragraph, what can we deduce? Regarding the question as to why Palin continues to remain indecisive as to her presidential plans, it seems obvious that she is simply maintaining the monetary value of the "Palin brand" for as long as possible. Since the "Palin thing" was unfortunately thrust into the American spotlight by John McCain in 2008, she has profited immensely. If not for her status as the Vice Presidential candidate and the subsequent hilariously public display of her political ignorance and the shenanigans of her tabloid-styled family, she would have remained a virtually unknown politician with little to no marketing potential. Instead, she has made so much money form her new-found celebrity status in the form of her Fox News job, her reality television series and her two ghost-written books, that she was able to simply up-and-quit her job as Governor of Alaska. Palin knows that as soon as she announces that she will not run for the nation's highest office, her marketability and the associated money will vanish. Consequently, it behooves her to tease the public for as long as she possibly can.
As for why the media and public continue to pay attention to a potential candidate that has no chance of winning, the answer is obvious. Sarah Palin is so absurd that she is entertaining. The media sells entertainment and the public buys it. People with no interest whatsoever in politics continue to await news of the latest Palin-related spectacle. Will she publicly insult someone (David Letterman)? Will she make another astoundingly stupid comment (Paul Revere was warning the British by ringing bells and firing shots)? Will another of her abstinence-only educated children conceive a child out of wedlock (so far we have Bristol and Track)? Will her husband continue to solicit massages from women charged with prostitution (Shailey Tripp)? The possibilities seem limitless and so long as there is entertainment value, the media and public will continue to pay attention.
So there you have it. Sarah Palin is unelectable. Sarah Palin knows this and will continue to tease the public with a decision regarding her candidacy as long as possible so as to keep the money-cow alive. The media and public will continue to be interested in Palin so long as she remains relevant and eccentric.

Face It: Mitt(wit) Romney Is A Boring Flip-Flopper
Before even announcing his intention to seek the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination, Mitt(wit) Romney looks to be the front-runner once again. Most polls as well as the recent New Hampshire straw poll show him points ahead of any G.O.P. challenger. The reason for this is that he could potentially capture the substantial moderate vote. He has the business acumen and executive experience to convince G.O.P. voters that he is the man to lead the nation out of its economic woes. He also does not align himself with the ultra-wacky Tea Party element of the Republican Party. For instance, he does not tout such draconian measures as abolishing Social Security, the Federal Reserve or the Dept. of Education. Indeed, during his tenure as Governor of Massachusetts, he was considered socially liberal. The fiscally conservative/socially liberal voter is a force to be reckoned with.
Romney does have a strong negative however. He is seen by many as a flip-flopper. A person who changes his position on issues depending on which way the popular wind is blowing. remember, he was pro-choice before he was ant-choice; he was pro-immigrant before he was anti-immigrant; he was pro-gay before he was anti-gay and he was pro-gun control before he was anti-gun control. Most potentially damaging of all to Romney however, is that he was pro health care reform before he was anti health care reform. Romney after all, was the first Governor to sign into law a health care reform bill with a personal mandate requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance or pay a fee to the tax man. Our national health reform law was modeled after the law that Romney (and Tea Party Senator Scott "Nudey" Brown) endorsed while Governor of Massachusetts.
Let's watch Romney's ever changing positions, shall we?
That was amusing, but wouldn't it be even more fun hearing some of this stuff right from the horse's mouth? Well, simply ask and you shall receive…
Romney will have a lot of 'splainin' to do during primary debates regarding his many flip=flops, but especially "the biggee" with regard to health care reform. Another obstacle for Romney and most all Republicans however, is that he does not have a sense of humor. Let's face it, Republicans are not funny. They lack the comedy gene. Do any of you remember the disaster of a conservative television comedy show which was "The 1/2 Hour News Hour" which aired on Fox News (where else)? Suffice to say, the show was canceled after only 14 episodes. Shall we have a look see?
Boy, that was especially funny in light of the Tucson shootings!
But we digress. We were talking about Mitt Romney's "unfunniness". Many people do not realize that despite the Mittster's milquetoast Mormon inspired image, he has re-made himself into a laugh riot since 2008. Don't believe me, then try to watch his appearance last night on "The Late Show With David Letterman" without bursting into tears of laughter.
On second thought, keep your day job, Mitt. That was not funny in the least. By the way, what the heck is Mitt Romney's day job anyway?

(sung to The Platters song "The Great Pretender")
Oh yes, Mitt's the great pretender
Pretending that he is so swell
His needs are such; he pretends too much
The truth he simply cannot tell
Oh yes, Mitt's the great pretender
Romney's true beliefs are unknown
Mitt plays the game; flip-flops without shame
With no firm beliefs of his own
He was pro-choice he had us all believe
But when he faced strife, he switched up to pro-life
Oh yes, Mitt's the great pretender
His opinion changes by town
Mitt claims to be what he's not; you see
He wears his deceit like a crown
Romney is a flip-flopping clown
In Mass., health reform was what he achieved
He now says he feels health reform needs repeal
Yes, Mitt's the great pretender
Just switching positions around
Ol' Mitt Romney is not what you see
He wears his deceit like a crown
Romney is a flip-flopping clown
Bristol and Levi Say, "Let's Get Real"
Lynnrockets' Blast-Off hopes that all of you regular readers had a happy and healthy weekend. Now, let's get back back to the fun and juicy stuff, shall we?
A number of media outlets including the Toronto Star, E Online and Scify.com are confirming the rumor that the reunited Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have been trying to shop a reality television series about themselves just like media hog Sarah Palin did. TMZ.com reports that the couple plans to use baby Tripp as an integral part of the show. Gee, using your minor children as publicity props, where did Bristol and Levi ever come up with that novel idea?
Finding a network to air the show might be a problem for the on-again, off-again, on-again lovers, however. The New York post quoted one network executive as saying, "Don't think we should do it. Neither of them have personalities." Joy Behar of The View said, "It's like Romeo and Juliet in Wasilla."
Even the late night talk show hosts have taken notice of the born again virgin's reconciliation with the high school drop-out. Jay Leno said,
This week Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston reveal exclusively to Us Weekly – my bible – that they are getting married. Sarah Palin, allegedly, is not happy about this because she feels they barely know each other and they are making a big committment – kind of like when John McCain picked her for vice president. I understand it's not going to be a traditional wedding. Rumor is that Bristol has asked Levi to wear his camouflage hunting vest – which would be the closest he's ever come to wearing protection of any kind.
David Letterman quipped,
You guys remember Levi Johnston? He'll be arriving in at the church tied to Sarah Palin's pickup.
We can't wait to hear what Craig Ferguson has to say on the subject.

(sung to the Peaches and Herb song "Reunited")
(Levi's verse)
Let's pool our dough and buy a double-wide
When I get home I'll give you quite a ride
I want you so bad cuz it makes Sarah so mad
I realize I like you when you're on your back, hey-hey
(Bristol's verse)
I have my very own Plumber-Joe
Let's do it with Rush on the radio
If I start to gush we can get help from the Dutch
I know now that I love you though you don't know much, hey-hey
Reunited, right here on the hood
Reunited, Levi's sporting wood
First Dude don't like it and Sarah's pitching a fit
We'll both be extradited cuz we're reunited, hey-hey
(Levi's verse)
I got so tired of my blow-up doll
And all the fellas in the men's room stall
They said I'd go blind if I pulled on what was mine
I did whatever I could just to earn a dime, hey-hey
(Bristol's verse)
I took a beatin' honey, every day
Cuz that's the Sarah Palin lovin' way
Her voice is a hiss, she has a venomous kiss
Her skin looks like old leather from some deep abyss, hey-hey
Reunited, this time it's for good
Reunited, off to Hollywood
We're a perfect fit, that Sarah she don't know shit
We hope she gets indicted, we would be excited, hey-hey
(Levi and Bristol's verse)
Holy Mother, we're so much in love
And Sarah Palin blames the Lord above
We are not gay and we are both white
So we don't understand why she says its not right, hey-hey
Reunited, this time it's for good
Reunited, we're misunderstood
We're a perfect fit, that Sarah she don't know shit
The world is so excited cuz we're reunited, hey-hey
Wednesday Night Music Byte
Oh, what the heck let's have another one from Boston's Dropkick Murphy's.
In honor of the Boston Bruins' historic Winter Classic hockey game to be played outdoors at Fenway Park at 1:00 pm EST on New Year's Day, we thought it would be appropriate to feature a Boston band that are also Bruins (and Red Sox) fans.
Dropkick Murphys are an American Celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, they blended traditional folk rock and punk rock known as Celtic punk. Their influences include Stiff Little Fingers, The Pogues, The Clash, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, Hot Water Music, and the Swingin' Utters.
Tonight's video clip is the Dropkick Murphys playing their song "The State Of Massachusetts" on the David Letterman show. We have provided the lyrics because we understand how difficult it can be for some of you to understand a Boston/Irish accent while screamed in traditional punk rock fashion. Please enjoy.
she had excuses and she chose to use them
she was the victim of unspeakable abuses
her husband was violent, malicious and distant
her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!
they've been taken away!
they've been taken away!
Billy was the bright one
tommy's off his head
mother loved them both the same,at least thats what she said
i don't predict the future, i don't care about the past
send them both to DSS, now you had your chance
the posion took your babies
the judges took your rights
you can have your children or the night!
I supposed youve been a victim
though i suspect you may have lied
have you lost all ambition why don't you give this thing a try
if you can't and you fail won't be the only loser
these kid don't stand a chance with you in their future!
they've been taken away!
they've been taken away!

Letterman Goes "Rogue" On Palin – Again!
Just a quick post this morning for those of you that might have missed David Letterman last night. Once again, the target of his lampooning was the ex-quitting governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. His "Top Ten" list was the tips Sarah Palin could give about writing a book. It is hilarious. Do you think Palin now realizes that it may have been a mistake to publicly attack Letterman a few months ago? Was she not aware of the fact that he has a nightly television audience in the millions and he now has every reason to skewer her every chance he gets? Poor Sarah, will she never learn?

Oh My My song link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1C6rFWfYMg
(sung to the Ringo Starr song "Oh My My")
She called up John Ziegler to see what's the matter
He said, "come on over"
"And wear your tin hat, dear"
Her knees started shakin', her head started achin'
When John Ziegler said to she:
Oh my my, oh my my, Dave Letterman, poked your eye
Oh my my, oh my my, We can fire him, if we lie
Oh my my, oh my my, it's guaranteed to keep you alive
Let's give Dave a screwin', then we'll get Jay Leno
Then let's can O'Brien, if we are able
Then Sarah was squealin' "you betta believe I'll…"
"Stay away from Tina Fey"
Oh my my, oh my my, Dave Letterman, poked my eye
Oh my my, oh my my, I can fire him, if I lie
Oh my my, if I try, it's guaranteed to keep me alive
(musical interlude)
Now if Dave should back down and take back his joke now
Remember your daughter, make it even hotter
It's you he was dissin', so don't even listen
Don't accept his apology
Oh my my, oh my my, Dave Letterman, poked your eye
Oh my my, oh my my, We can fire him, if we lie
Oh my my, oh my my, it's guaranteed to keep you alive
(repeat to end)

He who once printed for a living, once advised the printing industry on matters technical, once marketed a US dotcom. He who now builds websites and is happily married when he isn't.
He who once was a member of St Augustine's Scouts where he enjoyed being called Nelly (his 1st patrol was called Badgers - understandably he fought for a transfer to Tigers). He who, at The Meads Infants School, once had to wear a pair of tiny suede lederhausen and tour every class in the school just because he was the only boy they'd fit. He who once swum a lot and he who, at the same swimming club, once did a fair bit of highboard diving but packed that in after hitting the water a bit too hard a bit too often with the softer parts of his anatomy. He who once did a bit of kayaking but didn't have a car upon which he could transport said kayak. He who left school with 2 GCSEs and he who started work as soon as he could as an apprentice litho minder with White Crescent Press. He who now drives past the demolished factory where he was apprenticed and is glad he had the foresight to get out when he did.
He who once did a tremendous amount of roller skating and he who did an equally tremendous amount of roller hockey captaining the Cougars, a roller hockey team in Leighton Buzzard. He who had some fab times in Leighton Buzzard, did lots of silly stuff (some of which were caught on camera and will be posted online when they become sufficiently valuable as blackmail resources) and met lots of fun people whilst playing roller hockey. He who danced with a blow up doll on his 21st birthday and he who last smoked a cigarette, naked as the day he was born, handcuffed to a pole in a club on his stag night.
He who now runs a proper grown-up web design business called Sub@omic that, in all honesty, is probably just an excuse to do a job that allows him to listen to as much music as he likes and with no-one else to tell him what to play. He who likes a bit of photography now and then and he who doesn't think he'd have cut it as a pro' like his Pa. He who is brand loyal when it comes to a Honda Civic. He who is brand loyal when it comes to computers, shrugging all things Microsoft wherever humanly possible because Apple kit is simply nicer to use. He who has an iPhone spot welded to the palm of his hand. He who founded and runs the platform for business networking he calls Network Luton. He who loves Level 42 and any music with a funky bassline, catchy hook or any track that sounds like there's somekind of gear-change going on. He who says "Print is dead. Long live print!". He who tweets as @stevewhiting
He who, above all else, loves being married to Mrs Whiting and, most of the time, feels like he's the luckiest guy in town.

Warhammer - The Old World: Kislev is back!
Tags : kislev forgeworld the old world
Howdy Guys and Girls :)
Big update on Warhammer - The Old World .... Kislev will be back! Wuhu! Can't wait for them - me loves some bears and frozen magics!
"One new unit that's in the early stages of development is set in the Ice Court – the seat of the ruling Tsar or Tsarina. Known as the Ice Guard, they're an elite fighting formation of warrior women, equally skilled with bow and blade. But where they differ significantly from the other Kislevite units we've seen in the past is that they're able to channel the elemental magic of their realm in a similar manner to their Ice Queen – the most powerful practitioner of this unique form of sorcery.

text: On our third and last day we glued in everything and added a lot of decorations because we had time. we went outside and got little pine needles because this was back in December so we made it themed like Christmas. Even though there were some struggles, all in all, we felt pretty proud of our project and all that we had accomplished.
