Don't Go Chasing Reagan Myths
The verdict from pundits is in: Barack Obama's Inaugural speech signaled his ambition to be the "liberal Reagan," and the Big Question about his second term is whether he'll achieve that goal.
People mean different things by what Ronald Reagan achieved as president, and therefore what it would mean to be a "liberal Reagan." The Prospect's Paul Waldman says that to be like Reagan, Obama would need to "define an era that continues even after he leaves office." At The New York Times, conservative columnist Ross Douthat talks about "a long, Reagan-like shadow over subsequent policy debates." The Washington Examiner's Philip Klein considers whether Obama will match Reagan as "a president who not only wins elections (as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush did), but one who ideologically shifts the nation in his direction." I think, however, that these are all aspects of the same idea: that Reagan (in Obama's own words) "changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and a way that Bill Clinton did not."
Here's the problem. Ronald Reagan wasn't really the Reagan of everyone's imagination. So aspiring to be a "liberal Reagan" is chasing a fantasy. Worse than that—it's a fantasy that can easily distract a president from the real things that he should be doing.
Take a look at the Reagan myth. Did Reagan "ideologically shift the nation in his direction?" If we're talking about voters, the answer is pretty clearly no. As Northeastern political scientist Bill Mayer showed in The Changing American Mind, if anything, public opinion on many issues became more liberal, not more conservative, during Reagan's presidency (see also a nice post from George Washington University political scientist John Sides).
Did Reagan cast a shadow over subsequent policy debates? Sure, but no more than any other two-term occupant of the Oval Office—certainly not through fundamental conservative change. The growth of government, after cuts in 1981, started back up while Reagan was still president, and it's hard to see Reagan's influence in such measures as the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990). Reagan was, of course, a cold warrior, but so was everyone from Truman on—even Jimmy Carter. And to the extent that Reagan was particularly bellicose, it didn't really survive his first term (much to the consternation of 1980s anticommunists).
Did Reagan "define an era?" Well, if we all repeat it often enough, I suppose so, regardless of whether the man himself has anything to do with it.
Thinking about some of the other possibilities: It's hard to see any bright line in which Reagan's terms mark a change in GOP electoral success. Nor was Reagan a particularly popular president. His first term was well below average. His second term was better, but he was not as popular as Bill Clinton or Dwight Eisenhower. Reagan certainly did play an important role in the full takeover of the Republican Party by conservatives. And of course he did have his share of accomplishments in office. It's just that most of his exaggerated reputation is hype. It's worth noting that Bill Clinton, in 1992, ran against 12 years—not 4—of Republican presidents.
And it's certainly worth noting that Republican winners in 1995 and, for that matter, 2011, invoked Reagan—but they didn't say that they were restoring his achievements which had atrophied under Democratic control. Because that just wasn't the case.
Why, then, the Reagan myth? Any successful two-term president has the material to build a myth around, and Reagan (unlike Ike) has happened to benefit from a group dedicated to deifying him. His strengths were rhetorical, and people who write about politics like well-crafted words (people who televise politics like well-delivered words), so his rhetorical strengths tend to be overrated. Everyone is vulnerable to fooling themselves with nostalgia: For conservatives, the Reagan presidency is a golden age to look back to, given that he's the only even slightly successful movement-conservative president; for liberals, it's easy to invent a golden era of progressive politics that Reagan disrupted.
What does all of this suggest for Barack Obama? That he should forget about being transformative or establishing some sort of liberal era. That's not how politics works. Politics is about grinding it out, a bit at a time, and then fighting again tomorrow.
First of all, any attempt to generally change public opinion is probably useless; any attempt to "win" arguments about liberals versus conservatives is totally futile. Sure, give appropriate speeches and make the best arguments. Just don't expect the electorate to change much.
Second, what lasts are serious changes in public policy. NATO lasted after Truman. The highways lasted after Ike. Civil-rights legislation and its effects lasted after Johnson. Of course, Obama has the Affordable Care Act and more already in the ledger; that's a pretty good start. Note that we tend to attribute whatever happens to the president whether it was his doing or Congress's (or sometimes just stuff that happens). And note, too, that it takes a while to see which pieces of policy really matter; there are still fascinating arguments about which 19th-century polices counted most, so forget about knowing anything anytime soon.
Third, the one place beyond policy where presidents can make long-lasting changes is in changing their political party. A winning, successful president might not be able to change the ideology of swing voters (who, after all, are the least likely to pay careful attention to politics or even have an ideology). But a winning, successful president can affect what strong partisans think is acceptable and unacceptable within the party. Reagan's victory may not have changed public opinion, but after Reagan, every viable candidate for the Republican nomination for president has claimed to be a conservative and taken steps to justify that label.
Add it all up and Obama, if he wants to be a president who really changes things for the better, should … well, it's boring and obvious, but he should mostly focus on promoting good public policy. Not fighting the good fight or talking the good talk for liberal ideals, but just getting done whatever he can get done given all the constraints that surround him. Well-implemented plans will be hard for subsequent presidents to displace. And presidents who make good policy tend to be popular, thereby ensuring that partisans seek to replace them (not only immediately, but into the future) with similar candidates. In other words, he should pretty much focus on being a good president, and let the rest of it take care of itself. No, it's not as exciting as imagining that Obama can win arguments for a generation by choosing exactly the right words at the right time—but no one, certainly not Ronald Reagan, could do that. And it does have the benefit of being how politics really works.

Republicans need someone of recent memory to look back on and Regan provides some great soundbites. Obviously neither Bush is providing much for them and I feel like Ford is the forgotten president of recent time. Clinton is more recent, but I think that he will become the liberals Regan. We often exaggerate some of what he did, forget about what he did wrong, and ignore the fact that the man was pretty moderate. He was a good president, but he may be our real Regan.

Pardon me but, "blech!"
This is a great progressive website, but the need for many writers and commenters to minimize the significance of the Reagan era is hard to stomach.
For me, the significance of Reagan is that he presided over the transition to the neoliberal economic era in the United States. Yes, it actually began during Carter's term, but it was solidified during Reagan's eight years. And yes, it was further solidified after Reagan, some would argue reaching its irreversible dominance in 1995 during the Gingrich congress. But the solid turning point was during the Reagan years.
One could certainly argue that if it hadn't been Reagan, it would have been someone else. But it was Reagan. And while I do not primarily subscribe to the Great Man Theory of history, I do grudgingly recognize Reagan's leadership abilities. Unless and until Barack Obama proves otherwise, I think it is safe to say that going back at least to after Lyndon Johnson, Reagan has exhibited the greatest level by any president since then of James MacGregor Burns's "transforming leadership." It is tragic that he did it for our political enemies, but all the more reason for "our own Reagan." (I've stated before that our Reagan was FDR, or one could say that Reagan was actually the right wing's FDR, but we need a new one)
The "liberal Reagan" or "progressive Reagan" will be one who presides over the transition to an economic structure that replaces neoliberlaism, if indeed the next structure is one that significantly improves life for the majority of working Americans (it is obviously problematic to use the term "liberal" here, since we mean it in the noble 20th century sense of the term, while in the term "neoliberal" it is meant in the sense used by classical economics). I doubt that it will be President Obama. He came to the presidency as a centrist/corporatist and while he could conceivably evolve into somthing else, I wouldn't bet on it because I think he believes in a centrist form of corporatism, even though he probably doesn't consciously apply that term to himself. While there were many progressive moments in his 2nd inaugural speech, they were mostly in the realm of progressive identity politics, not class politics. Those elements were very good to hear, but they are not what will distinguish our next transformational president.

What was transformative about Reagan was not what he did but what he said -- his idealization of the individual over the collective. Reagan made selfishness socially acceptable. When Oliver Stone's character Gordon Gekko said, "Greed is good" (1987), millions of Americans agreed. Sure, the counter-culture was robust -- obviously, Stone didn't think greed was good -- but the point is that collectivism became the counter-culture, not the dominant American political philosophy that it had been from the New Deal through the Great Society.
If Obama can swing the nation away from individualism to a kind of pragmatic collectivism, he will indeed be a great president. He chose to bury the philosophical ideas while he was getting stuff done his first two years; then he joined the deficit hawk-loons, turning himself into a small guy for a year or so. We have John Boehner & the Occupy movement to thank for giving Obama back his bearings, which came into evidence in the December 2011 Osawatomie jobs speech.
The other thing to remember is that myths take a while to develop. Just because Reagan was not a popular president doesn't mean Grover Norquist & the Mythmakers couldn't raise him up later. The only presidents who have a shot at instant popularity get it by actually being shot: Lincoln & Kennedy. (The fact that Reagan himself also suffered a near-fatal wound probably gave him a leg up, too.) There's an excellent chance that in 20 years, Obama will be at or near the top of "greatest president" polls -- and if he keeps on keeping on in the direction his inaugural address suggests, he'll deserve it.

12/13/02: Secret Service Agents Question Student About Anti-Bush Shirt
(from) WHIO-TV, NEWSCENTER 7
Secret Service Agents question a Bellbrook High School student for wearing a controversial t-shirt.
The shirt has a picture of President Bush on it and the words, "not my president." The picture also showed cross-hairs on the Bush's forehead.
Because this issue is so sensitive, even we don't know the students name.
But we can tell you this whole thing was brought to the attention of school administrators after two students came forward and complained.
According to the Assistant Principal, the student had worn it before and the shirt didn't cause any problems until cross hairs appeared on the President's forehead.
The Assistant Principal confiscated the shirt, called the FBI and agents then called the secret service.
From that point, the Secret Service took over the investigation and met with the student and essentially treated the situation as a potential threat on the president.
There are more than 800 students at Bellbrook High School and the Assistant Principal says they're all good kids, but he's especially proud of two of them.
The Assistant Principal states that he is proud of the two students who brought the issue to the attention of the school administration.

Midwest Living Review
This 23-business strong upscale strip mall, located on a lake about five blocks from the American Club, has pretty much everything you need to spend a satisfied vacation shopping day. You'll find gift shops, clothing boutiques, a wine and cigar lounge, a dinner spot, a chocolatier, a gourmet grocery, toys, home furnishings, an art gallery -- even a yoga spot. Pick up a book on specialty cheese or a hand-knit sweater at the Wisconsin Trader, guaranteed to get you in the spirit of the state. Browse lotions and lingerie at Scentualities, and cover them with boutique items from either Kacia or Sweet Potato's. The Movers and Shakers Toy Store is a great spot to send dad with the kids, but don't expect them to return to you anytime soon -- the circular layout, castle-theme decor will keep them going around and around for hours. Kohler Gardener is a favorite among tourists and locals alike, with books, soaps, candles, stationery, and other gift items and house wares, along with seasonal outdoor plants. It's safe to say there's a little something for everyone, and plenty for some. Shop proprietors band together for several events throughout the year, from sidewalk sales to ice skating on the lake in the winter. The shops are generally open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m., but some shops are open at different times, particularly the eating establishments. Call the general information number and get a helpful, live person on the other line.

This year, roughly 4,800 high school students applied to the United States Naval Academy's Summer STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Program. Of them, only 400 were accepted. And one of them is from Sag Harbor.
"I knew I wanted to apply half-way through seventh grade," explained Sean Toole, who's just finishing his freshman year at Pierson High School.
The week-long STEM program, which for Toole will run through this Saturday, June 16, is open to students from eighth through eleventh grade, and offers kids the chance to learn more about science programs at the academy while completing scientific projects of their own. According to a brochure for the program, topics covered will range from biometrics and cyber security to environmental challenges and automation.
Toole actually applied to the program for the first time as an eighth grader, but he wasn't admitted.
"I was iffy about applying this year, because I don't like rejection," he continued. "But I wanted to go."
"When I first got the letter that said 'Congratulations,' I dropped it," explained Toole, a rather mild-mannered student. "I would have been jumping up and down, but that's not me."
In addition to a great interest in science — physics specifically — Toole said he also plans to attend the Naval Academy one day. In a sense, he explained, serving the country is part of his family's legacy. The great nephew of the late John Ward, a former Sag Harbor mayor who served in World War II as a U.S. Army Tech Sargent — Toole's family members have also served in the Navy and the Air Force.
But, he also said attending the program would expose him to math and science he's "probably never seen before," which will not only be to his benefit, but to the school district as a whole.
"I'll get to bring information back that nobody else really knows about," he added.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by dlieberg Lovely I just received this dress in the mail. It is a light brown/beige and is just gorgeous. I am 5'7" and weight around 140 lbs. I ordered size 6 and it is a tiny bit snug in the back. The layers of fabric make it a little heavy but not too heavy to be comfortable. Only one of those stick on bras (or no bra if you are small on top) will work with this dress. 6.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gurunduk love this dress This dress fits beautifully, true to size. The detailing and color are very lovely. I bought it for my outdoor wedding 10.21.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by AG27 Sure wiish it was the color in the pictures! I had this dress arrive in the mail yesterday, after waiting 3 weeks I was super excited to open it! I was planing to have this be my wedding dress and I anticipated the fact that it is was off white, the description does says "neutral". I thought it would be an of white or cream but when I opened the bag and it was straight up brown, not even near what the picture shows. The brown is a beautiful shade but definitely not the right brown for a bride, or the color described. I frequently order from FP but this is the first item Ive ever wanted to send back. I thought I would just exchange it for a different one because I love FP! Unfortunately FP wont exchange to it's Canadian fans by mail :( Beware this is a Light Brown, beautiful color but Brown and you can not exchange it across the border by mail. 6.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by amanea Once you've put it on... I am very impressed by this dress. I'm 5'2 90lbs got the XS. I have a short bust so I will need to have the string taken in. Other than that it fits quite nicely. The quality of the fabric is real, soft and heavy, the color is a dark beige so it doesn't look like a wedding gown. However once you've put it on, you won't take it off... literally. getting in that dress is A LOT of work, first you have to adjust the string in the front so they don't chock you or look tacky, then you have to close the 30 something little buttons in the back! But it's worth it because you will look like you've fallen from heaven! Note if you have a large chest consider sizing up. 6.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lola22 A True Classic This dress is truly beautiful! The fabric is soft and airy and the drapery looks very sweet and darling. It did not come in an elegant garment bag as my other liimited edition dresses did, but it did come with a pretty chrochet hanger. The dress is a bit on the formal side; however, it honestly could be used for just about any event. What will make the difference are the accessories. I tried it with a large creme colored silk flower on the side of my head, and then a beaded headband (which went across my forehead) and both looked stunning - both made the entire look very unique. I ordered a 6 - I'm a 36B, 28, 36, and it fits perfectly. I'm always a size 6 in freepeople and a small in all sizes excluding bras. The dress is quite long though for petite woman. I'm 5'3 and paired this with 4 1/2 in. heels and it still dragged. I will have to take it up about an inch from the bottom layer -which means I might have to lose the chrochet hem, and possibly a 1/2 in from the corners of the top layer. I hope this is something my seamster can do - he's really good, so it could be highly possible it might be just fine - I just don't want to lose the hem. The dress is pricey, but it's always nice to spend a little extra on something sweet and pretty, and something you can see passing down to your daughters, nieces, etc. It is a true classic. 6.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CBergs almost perfect This dress is gorgeous and fits well with the exception of the "strings" around the neck. They sat uncomfortably, almost dug into my neck. I have a longer torso, that may have been the problem. Otherwise, awesome dress! 10.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smorgan Best ever. Most expensive thing I own. Saved forever. Worth every penny. You will feel like a princess when you wear it. Free People dominates creativity and expression. 9.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LaDeDa Excellent Love this dress, I bought it for my wedding! The cotton fabric is so so soft and the drape is beautiful. It definitely requires help to get into, as it truly buttons all the way up the back. Being a girl with large boobs, I was scared that the top wouldn't flatter me. I was wrong :) 6.15.2012

FAQ: The Basics of Supercharger Kits
What is a Supercharger?
A supercharger is a device that forces air into the engine via a series of pulleys driven off the factory engine crank. These pulleys power a secondary air pump of sorts that compresses the air before it enters the engines intake manifold. This creates a pressure called "boost" which is force fed into the engine. The additional air intake allows for more power to be produced. There are different names for different types of superchargers such as twin screw, positive displacement, centrifugal. While they all have different advantages and disadvantages, the end result of compressing the air to increase the volume of air entering the engine is the same.
How Does It Work?
To add more power to your engine, a supercharger essentially forces more air into the combustion chamber. This allows more fuel to be added, which results in a larger explosion and more horsepower.
Is a Supercharger the same as a Turbocharger?
While superchargers and turbochargers accomplish the same goal, which is to make your car go faster, the difference between the two is their power source. Turbochargers are powered by the exhaust gases. Superchargers are powered by the engine's crankshaft with a belt-drive or chain-drive. This difference in power source is felt when driving the car. A turbocharged car does not have all of its potential power available until it revs high enough to create boost. This is commonly referred to as "turbo lag." A supercharger on the other hand, does not suffer from any lag in response time of the power. The power is available consistently across the entire power band of the engine, making it much more responsive than a turbocharged car.
How Much Power Will I Gain From A Supercharger?
This depends on the kit that you purchase as well as the vehicle application that it is going onto. Supercharger kits that Stillen sells can increase the power output of an engine from anywhere between 50 to 300 horsepower, depending on the engine. Supercharger kits often have room to make extra power but are limited due to the strength of the stock engine. Making too much power will increase the risk of premature wear and even failure of stock engines. But if an engine is built to handle the extra stress, the power gains can be endless!
Who Makes Supercharger Kits?
Many aftermarket part and performance part manufacturers make superchargers. However, we only carry the best, most well respected names in the industry. These names include STILLEN superchargers, Edelbrock superchargers, Magnuson superchargers and Whipple Superchargers.
Do You Sell Superchargers for My Car?
We sell a wide variety of superchargers and supercharger kits, so chances are that we do. Enter your year, make and model in the sidebar above and browse the various supercharger parts we carry or click below to browse parts for our most popular vehicles below:
Which One Is Right For Me?
When it comes to choosing a supercharger, the main thing you want to look at is the power you will be getting for the kit, if a warranty is available, and if the kit is CARB certified. CARB certified will allow you to run the kit legally in states where smog laws are present. Stillen only works with companies that have an outstanding reputation for quality products to ensure customer satisfaction. If after browsing the STILLEN website you aren't sure which supercharger kit is right for you, give us a call at 1-866-250-5542. We have a fully trained staff of car and truck enthusiasts that will be happy to offer you some recommendations.
How Do I Install My New Supercharger?
Instructions will vary by manufacturer and are included with the unit you purchase. However, we recommend that you have a performance shop install the supercharger kit for you because most kits require advanced mechanical skills. Having an approved performance shop install your supercharger will also make sure that your warranty is not voided. If you live near Orange County, CA, stop by the STILLEN performance shop in Costa Mesa, CA and we will be happy to do the install for you. Our professionally trained mechanics are certified to install and tune all of the supercharger kits that we sell.

In this post I show a few streets in the centre of Assen and show how they work for cyclists and drivers such that despite their appearance, they are optimized for cyclists. After watching the video, read further to see a map showing the layout and towards the bottom of the post for photos of what the same streets looked like in the 1960s when they were optimized for drivers.
Note that this video has many captions which explain what you are looking at. They are only visible on a computer and not on a mobile device.
This video shows the route for bikes directly through the city centre along Noordersingel, Nieuwe Huizen and the most Southern part of Groningerstraat. It's shown on this map in red:
|Click for Google Maps. The video follows the red line from bottom to top. Drivers are directed by the one way system along Javastraat, Jan Fabriciusstraat and Het Kanaal. This removes them from the route through the centre taken by cyclists.
Here are some photos of how it used to look:
|In the video we ride from right to top/left from approximately 0:45 until 2:02. This photo shows how the same streets looked in the 1960s.
|This is how the junction at 1:15 in the video looked in the 1960s. Note how pedestrians had to walk on narrow sidewalks behind barriers which prevented them from crossing the road wherever they wanted to and how there was "not enough space" for cycle-paths on these streets. This is similar to many current British road layouts.
|This junction appears at 1:38 in the video. In 1965, this was the busiest junction in Assen and traffic lights were needed in this location. There is a blog post and video specifically about this junction.
This is an example of segregation of modes without cycle-paths. It works. Even in the city centre. Due to their central location, and that they remain a through route for bikes even though not for cars, these streets are very popular with cyclists. A count here showed nearly 9000 cyclists per day using these streets: a very impressive figure in a small city of just 67000 people.
Streets which some commentators from outside the country think are "shared equally" with motorists are in my experience never anything of the sort. This is not a rare arrangement, but a very common one in streets like this - optimized for cycling, but allowing access to drivers. Where there is significant through traffic, cycle-paths are required to preserve an acceptable level of subjective safety. That includes just North of where the video in this post ends.
While cycling always benefits from segregation from motor vehicles, that does not mean that all cycling is on cycle-paths. There is not a one-size-fits-all solution for all streets. Sometimes segregation is achieved by moving cars elsewhere. It is very easy to get an incorrect impression and to miss things like this. Unfortunately, some people visit the Netherlands and go home again still with the wrong impression. This is why we offer study tours and encourage campaigners and planners to come on them. They are a means to explain how details like this work, and to show people actual working examples.
The photos come from the book "Assen Verandert" which we reviewed. There are a number of other posts about Groningerstraat, showing more about the road North from the end of the video in this post. You'll note that where the road is busier, there are cycle-paths because you can't achieve a high enough level of subjective safety for mass cycling on roads with a large number of motor vehicles.

Softball in August is good for April.
After missing last season due to a knee injury, April Burney is making the most of her opportunity early as a senior for the Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers.
Burney had three hits on offense and turned in a pair of defensive gems at second base in the sixth inning to help the Lady Vols defeat the Pillow Academy Lady Mustangs 10-6 in their home opener on Thursday.
Starkville Academy held Pillow Academy scoreless in the top of the sixth inning behind the pitching of Julianne Jackson and the defense of Burney.
Burney was able to track down a ground ball and make a tough toss to Lauren Ware at first base, then she was on the receiving end of an assist from shortstop Mary Austin Barber to record an out at second base.
"In practice, we work on these plays every day so when the game comes, we know where to go," Burney said. "Julianne puts her faith in us when she pitches and puts it right down the middle of the plate to get the out."
The Lady Vols watched the Lady Mustangs score a run in the first inning to take the lead, but they answered with three runs in the frame.
Pillow Academy tied the game with two runs and took a 4-3 advantage with one run in the third.
Starkville Academy regained the lead in the third on RBI singles by Emily Gregory and Barber, then added two more runs in the fourth. Ware and Jackson had singles to start the frame and were driven home by Nikki Ford and Megan Picard.
After the Lady Mustangs cut the margin to 7-4 in the fifth, the Lady Vols added some cushion to their lead with two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth.
Starkville Academy coach Kayla Mosley said defensive mistakes allowed Pillow to stay in the game early, but was glad the offense responded with a 11-hit effort to get the victory and even its record at 3-3.
"We need to clean up the defensive side of it for sure," Mosley said. "(Pillow) was a good team and this was a good win to gain confidence. We've just got to keep working."
Along with Burney's performance at the plate for the Lady Vols, Barber and Ware had two singles each, while Jackson, Picard, Aucoin and Gregory had one single each.
Jackson was the winning pitcher and Mosley continues to be proud that she's on SA's side.
"In the (Bayou) tournament, she got stronger as the day went on," Mosley said. "That's just the kind of pitcher she is. The more she throws, the stronger she's going to get. We're glad she's like that. She normally starts pretty strong, but we know she's going to end even stronger."
Jackson and the Lady Vols have the opportunity to get several more games under their belt Saturday with the action at the Starkville Academy Tournament.
The event, being held at the Mississippi State Intramural Softball Complex, gives players like Burney the experience necessary to get back into the swing of the sport.
"It's going to help me get used to playing softball again," Burney said.

text: With the biggest card of the year only days away, I have been preparing by watching some of Anderson Silva's best fights. While watching his fights, I began to think about what my favorite knockouts are. I made a blog post concerning my thoughts about it (here is the link btw, feel free to view it) but wanted to get your guys' opinions. What is your favorite knockout and why?

The UK government has repeated its threat to legislate if businesses do not voluntarily release data gathered on customers who ask to see it.
An initiative called Midata calls on firms to provide details to the public in a "machine-readable" format.
Ministers had warned in August they would introduce a new law if utilities, web firms and shops did not voluntarily comply with their request.
Consumer Affairs Minister Jo Swinson will provide more details on Monday.
Under the existing Data Protection Act consumers already have the power to make a "subject access request" to see the personal information companies and other organisations hold on them.
But doing this can incur a fee of up to £10 and not all data has to be handed over.

This Schneider cuckoo clock is made of hand-carved linden wood which is a reforestable product grown in the Black Forest. The wood carvings are of a single bird which sits on the crest with hand-carved leaves on each side. Below are carved branches, more leaves and two squirrels. This cuckoo clock is 9.1" tall and uses the German Regula #25 mechanical mechanism, which is reliable and service friendly. This beautiful cuckoo clock has a lacquered walnut finish. It also has wooden dial, numerals, hands and cuckoo bird and the standard 2 year warranty and is made by the Anton Schneider Black Forest Cuckoo Clock Company in Schonach Germany.
At the top of the hour the cuckoo bird will emerge from the door at the top and call once for each hour and then go back inside as the door shuts behind. At the bottom of the hour cuckoo will call only once and return to his nest. This cuckoo clock must be wound daily by pulling down on each chain opposite the weights. Gravity drives the cuckoo call and time so the clock is very energy efficient.

RiAus, Australia's national science hub, in collaboration with BBC Worldwide, is to bring a live stage event exploring scientific mysteries raised by Doctor Who, to the five main cities of Australia later this year.
The show will use scenes from the series and look at time travel, regeneration, teleportation and just why the TARDIS is bigger on the inside.

Quick overview of the story. I currently rent and have always rented. The townhouse is a 2 bedroom/1.5 bath approx 1440 sq. feet. It's a great place and I love it. My landlord is great and basically gives me free reign over it. I basically am a home owner already but don't have the responsibility....if something bad happens I call him and he fixes it. But he is looking to get out of the landlord business and wants to sell. He is giving me first dibs on it and would like to sell to me. It was built in 1979 and of course has some issues for being 30+ years old. Few things:
1. It isn't listed yet and I don't know what his asking price is versus what the estimated selling price would be. I have spoken with two realtors and they put a price on it of approx $150K.
2. I have never wanted to have a mortgage. A mortgage scares the crap out of me.
Am I considering this because I am at this point where I have no choice? I already have in writing that my landlord will honor the entire lease if I choose not to purchase it but he hasn't said yet if he will re-sign it if it is un-sold when the lease is up for renewal.
I really need some advice either way.

Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress
The first ever Mattel-made Lucy and Ethel gift set is finally here! I Love Lucy® has made television history as one of the most enduring, beloved shows of all time, and with good reason: what's not to love about the show that followed the silly antics of zany redhead Lucy Ricardo, her blonde best friend Ethel Mertz, and their equally hilarious husbands?
Capture the memories with this adorable set, inspired by episode #69, Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress, which originally aired on October 19, 1953. When Lucy and Ethel accidentally buy the same formal gown for a live televised duet, each agrees to return hers, but neither follows through. Hilarity ensues when the sidekicks arrive onstage in identical frocks — a fashion faux pas to be sure! The lovable duo is portrayed here in chiffon dresses of lavender, gray and white, adorned with floral details and the characters' signature hairstyles. An absolute must-have for Lucy lovers and Barbie® fans alike!

Super Warmers - Long
Also found in:
♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Stripes ♠ Leg Warmers ♠ Made in the USA ♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Burning Man ♠ Spring ♠ Autumn ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Sport Socks
You wanted them, now we have them! The Super Stripes we love are now available in a long, cozy leg warmer. These are lovely on their own or layered with tights, perfect for adding a unique touch to any outfit. Made in the USA.
Just over 28 inches long when unstretched. About 20 inches of stretch in the cuffs and at least 17 inches of stretch in the body. These work well as a knee high for larger legs.
Additional Info: We also have a short version!
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cool to cold water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Our Plum/charcoal images were shot on "dead tracks" that are not open to trains or near tracks that are. Not only is it illegal to shoot on active tracks it is extremely dangerous... never put yourself, or your friends, at risk to get pictures involving train tracks.
Label: DreaM Stockings
How come I can't add these to my wish list? There is no option for it.
I am looking for leg warmers for my VERY large calves (which are 26 inches at their widest point). My legs get very cold in the winter and finding knee socks or tights in my size is impossible. Thank you.
Do the Black and white truly stretch to 20 in the sock body or is it a bad batch right now as the reviews state? I have a 19" calf and really want some striped leg warmers!
Will you get more colors of these. I just got mine today (plum and gray), and noticed there were some more colors out there (I will be getting black and white). Thanks. and love these.
My son made Honor Roll, and when we told him he could have anything he wanted as a "way to go" gift, he grabbed the computer and started shopping for socks. Just though you'd like to know that even 12-year-old boys cannot resist the awesomeness that is Sock Dreams!

hi there
havent posted before but i did read with interest the thread on ereaders not so long ago and that influenced my decision to treat myself to a sony reader.
it also influenced me to try booksonboard.com (i read a similar discussion on the cunning artificers forum which i am also a member of).
anyway, until friday 1st may (so not long!) booksonboard are giving a 22% discount on list price on all fantasy titles when you use the promocode 'DragonsOnBoard' at the checkout. This worked for me when buying several of terrys books and i thought other people may wish to try it and see if it works.
good luck

Next-Generation Corvette Race Car Revealed
Corvette Racing opened a new chapter in its history with the competition debut of the next-generation Corvette C6.R at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 6-8, 2009. Based on the Corvette ZR1 supercar, the new Corvette C6.R has even stronger links to the production Corvette than its predecessors and utilizes the ZR1's body design, aerodynamic package, aluminum frame and chassis structure, steering system, windshield, and other components.
In anticipation of a single GT class in 2010, Corvette Racing will test and develop the new Corvette C6.R in the GT2 category in the final rounds of the 2009 American Le Mans Series and will compete against rivals representing Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Viper, Panoz, and Ford. "One of the many benefits of the Corvette Racing program has been the opportunity to demonstrate the technology transfer between the race car and the production car," said Mark Kent, GM Racing manager. "The global movement toward a single GT class will allow us to compete head-to-head with more marketplace competitors, while increasing both the production content of the Corvette C6.R race cars and the relevance of racing to our customers. This is a step that positions Corvette for the future of production-based sports car racing worldwide."
The upcoming GT regulations require a comprehensive redesign of the Corvette C6.R package. In place of the GT1 Corvette's steel frame, the GT2 version utilizes the production ZR1's hydro-formed aluminum frame as the foundation for a fully integrated tubular-steel safety cage. The GT1 version's wide, louvered fenders are replaced by production-based ZR1 fenders with wheel flares. In accordance with the aerodynamic regulations, the rear wing is reduced 25 percent in width, the diffuser is a flat panel without fences or strakes, and the splitter extends only as far as its production ZR1 counterpart. Steel brake rotors have replaced the carbon discs used previously, and the wheels are aluminum instead of magnesium. The adjustable steering column and steering rack are sourced from the street Corvette.
In the remaining races in 2009, the Corvette race cars will be powered by 6.0-liter GM small-block V-8s that are based on the 7.0-liter LS7.R that powered the GT1 version. This reduction in displacement was achieved by shortening the crankshaft stroke from 3.875-inch to 3.32-inch. The diameter of the series-mandated intake air restrictors was decreased from 30.6 mm to 28.6 mm, with a corresponding reduction in engine output from 590 to 470 horsepower. A 5.5-liter production-based GM small-block V-8 is currently under development and will be introduced at the start of the 2010 season.
'09 Corvette Production Totals Announced
VETTE has learned the final production totals for the '09 Corvette, including models, exterior and interior colors, and transmissions. Despite a truncated build schedule, a total of 1,415 ZR1s were produced, accounting for over $141 million of sales. Black was the most popular Corvette color this year, while Ebony was the overwhelming choice for interior trim.

To all the networking gurus that are a part of this community, what would I need in order to test if a conference center, meeting hall, hotel, etc. etc. has a good enough wireless network to handle X amount of people on their network?
I actually started a thread similar to this like a year ago, but I can no longer find it, and I figure some things have changed over the past year.
I do have this company from that search last year. Ixia, but I am not exactly sure what I would need from them based on my needs.
This is for my job. So budget is potentially a few $1000. Probably up to like $5000 if really needed. I would probably be in charge of running whatever the solution would be. Our IT department is currently saying they do not have anything they can do, so the more user friendly it can be, the better.
The Exact Need - Ideally I need whatever this would be to show up at a location, input the amount of users, input the amount of estimated bandwidth each user (or combined users) would be using, and then do an actual test that mimics those users actually being connected to the wireless network.
This would almost always be on iPads.

It didn't get its name from a popular Southern comedy tour.
It's named for the semi-industrial, business-oriented stretch of Hollywood Boulevard, where people work hard for their paychecks and where stick-to-the-rib sandwiches satisfy the well-earned appetite.
"It's a bakery, deli, coffee shop," said one of the owners, Marc Steinman. "We roast our own coffee right on the premises.
"As much as we can, we make everything ourselves," he added.
Some may remember the fat, delicious bagels that Steinman offered with his now-closed Big Apple Bagels in Shalimar.
Steinman has joined forces with coffee roaster and aficionado Jim Mass, known for Maas Coffee in historic downtown Fort Walton Beach.
"It was just kind of natural, the three of us would come together," Steinman said, with Blue Collar Café opening late in May.
A couple of things to try: the signature Bacon Deli Slammer and the Blue Collar BLT.
LOCATION: 104 S.W. Hollywood Blvd., across from the American Legion canon
HOURS: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Mondays through Fridays; 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays
The June opening of Southern Star Printing brought this full-service printing shop to Racetrack Road, with owner Tracy McCreary bringing along colleague DJ Gallardo.
"It just became time for me to go out and open my own (print shop)," said McCreary, who provides the graphics portion of the shop.
The two had worked together in another area print shop, so McCreary knew she was getting the best service manager she could find. Both have several years of experience, and McCreary said "we offer down-home Southern customer service."
The shop produces all type of printing services from business cards to banner signs, and from binding to laminating to sending faxes.
The shop also carries a slight twist.
"We've got a blank wall," McCreary said, and she asked herself "why not fill it up with toys?"
Southern Star Printing carries die-cast cars, action figures and a variety of toys for all tastes and ages.
"We also do plastic model kits, ones that are hard to find," McCreary added. "A little bit of everything in the toys — kind of suits the little kids and the big kids."
LOCATION: 333-C Racetrack Road N.W., next to Kinfolk's Bar-B-Q
HOURS: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays

So, how do I go about COMPLETELY removing all of the 13.1 drivers I installed, and putting back the opensource? Every time I have done this before, tried, I end up being stuck outside Ubuntu on a black screen or console mode.
Follow the instructions below to remove fglrx and revert to radeon.# Remove the proprietary AMD graphics driver. sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '{if($1 ~ /fglrx/) print $1}') # Backup and remove your X configuration file (if one exists). [ -e /etc/X11/xorg.conf ] && sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx.0 # Install the necessary packages necessary to get full graphical acceleration. # Some (or all) of these packages may already be installed. sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental libgl1-mesa-glx linux-firmware-nonfree xserver-xorg-video-radeon # Reboot to apply changes. sudo reboot
Is different versions of Ubuntu that different?
I know awhile ago I was running Ubuntu 11.04 I believe on the exact same system, and never had issues. Now this keeps happening for no reason? Kinda crazy.
So ok, it's the new 13.1 AMD drivers that just give up after awhile. Why is Ubuntu 12.04 so much different (in that respect) then 11.04. Kinda annoying.
The main reason I installed the proprietary drivers is because since Steam came to Linux, I wanted to try and play some games, like Skyrim under Wine, and with the open source it's not possible.
Of course I don't really play that many games anymore, and care all that much, playing HD videos is what I mainly do. It's just kinda annoying.

Wow, this is so fresh and clean......makes the house springtime fresh.
Home Sweet Home Fragrance
I have 3 dogs..this Agave Nectar Mist is phenonamal. It has such a welcoming scent that when guests come into my house they ask "what is that sweet aroma"?
This is a wonderful tart citrus with an undercurrent of ripe fruit that smells a little like guava. There's a little bit of agave zip like tequilla to give it an edge. I adore it.
Try a sampler first!
I had read a review stating how refreshing this was and indicating citrus and other things they thought made the scent refreshing. I will have to disagree! I took the lid off and immediately started sneezing. I usually do fine with citrus scents and very soft florals, however, this didn't work at all.
