Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.
House Speaker John Boehner has sent out a memo to fellow House Republicans in which he updates the current situation and attempts to bathe his party's efforts in the reflected nobility of President Abraham Lincoln, the most famous Republican of all.
Boehner writes:
There should be no doubt that our purpose in calling for a balanced budget is a noble one, and the right one.
The book Congressman Lincoln by Chris DeRose, which I recently read, includes a chapter focused on Abraham Lincoln's efforts to help craft a new national agenda. At one point in the book, young Lincoln warns that government debt is "growing with a rapidity fearful to contemplate."
"[Government debt] is a system not only ruinous while it lasts, but one that must soon fail and leave us destitute," Lincoln warns his countrymen in Congressman Lincoln. "An individual who undertakes to live by borrowing, soon finds his original means devoured by interest, and next no one left to borrow from — so must it be with a government."
Lincoln's words ring true today, perhaps to a degree greater than ever before."
Yes, they certainly do ring true. Because as Luke Johnson of Huffington Post astutely points out, the Lincoln quote as presented by Boehner is a bit truncated. In the original, our most revered Republican goes on in the very next sentence to write:
"We repeat, then, that a tariff sufficient for revenue, or a direct tax, must soon be resorted to, and indeed we believe this alternative is now denied by no one."
In the sentence before the Boehner selection, Lincoln also makes his stance clear. The debt that he condemns so strongly "has been produced by a prevailing unwillingness to either to increase the tariff or resort to direct taxation," the future president wrote.
Then, for the icing on the cake, Lincoln argues strongly for raising the necessary revenue through a tariff on imported luxury goods, because through the preferred tariff "the burthen of revenue falls almost entirely on the wealthy and luxurious few, while the substantial and laboring many … go entirely free."
He opposes the direct, or property, tax for much the same reason, because under that system, the little guy gets hit hard. "However strictly the citizen may exclude from his premises all foreign luxuries — fine cloths, fine silks, rich wines, golden chains and diamond rings — still, for the possession of his house, his barn, his homespun, he is to be perpetually haunted and harassed by the tax-gatherer."
As Thomas Jefferson used to say, "Now you know … the rest of the story!"

Speaking of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson, I recommend that all readers both see the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis – who appears to become Lincoln – in Spielberg's currently playing film "Lincoln," as well as view the traveling exhibit entitled, "Jefferson and His Slaves," at the Atlanta History Center, which is sponsored by the Monticello Foundation.
It was Jefferson's desire, as a young man, to condemn slavery in America in writing in the original Declaration of Independence, but representatives from Georgia and S.C. would not have it, so Jefferson deleted those lines condemning slavery that he had originally written into the Declaration of Independence to keep the colonies unified. Later in his life, Jefferson was a strong proponent of public education so that all of America's citizens – those of wealth and those without wealth – would be well-informed citizens/participants in the governing of themselves. His efforts in Virginia's Legislature to ensure public education for all citizens were defeated because the wealthy representatives in Virginia's Legislature did not want to pay for the public education of the less fortunate citizens' children through taxes placed on them, to that end. It was later, after Jefferson had died, that public education in America was established. However, the freeing of the slaves happened about the time in America's history which Jefferson had predicted. For a fuller understanding – than most have of Jefferson – I highly recommend seeing and reading about Jefferson in depth, in the exhibit on "Jefferson and His Slaves" at the Atlanta History Center – until mid summer.

Rubberman: "President Lincoln would be characterized as a RINO in today's iteration of The Crazy Party"
Oh that's far too conservative a claim. Lincoln was a communist by the standards of today's wildly right-skewing political discourse.
If he were around today, Lincoln would be so far left he would careen not only past the Republicans but the Democrats too.
Lincoln was a radical. And the only radicals allowed in politics in the United States of today are radicals of the right.

Jay, so now we have taxes on working Americans that Lincoln would have never even dreamed of so in some way are you trying to imply that we must have more taxes to pay for our unending ever growing debt without any effort to reduce the dependency of our populace on entitlements and our government's inability to run any program with fiscal responsibility? Revenue is now raised from an ever shrinking number of working people and Lincoln would not have been at all happy with that because the vast majority of them do not wear "silk and furs". Have you not seen the huge numbers of people that have gone on disability (SSN) and foodstamps in the last 4 years and what they are costing this country? At this point an un-ending escalation of taxes won't even pay for the interests on our debt due to the entitlements. What would Lincoln have thought about that? Lincoln would not have abided the entitlement minded very well because he was a workaholic. You are comparing what he said long ago about taxes on luxury and somehow rationalizing and comparing that with what is going on today which is a large part of our society now thinks the government should do everything for them without any effort from themselves.

Let me help you. If you forwarded that crap to your buddies, don't forget to send a clarification………
"An airline passenger was thrown out of the San Diego airport for rejecting a full-body scan and pat-down groin check and instead insisting on passing through a metal detector; the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says the agency will not allow airline passengers to get out of body imaging screening or pat-downs based on their religious beliefs; TSA chief John Pistole said that passengers who refuse to go through a full-body scanner machine and reject a pat-down will not be allowed to board, even if they turned down the in-depth screening for religious reasons; "That person is not going to get on an airplane," Pistole said yesterday in a congressional committee testimony"

pogo: "At this point an un-ending escalation of taxes won't even pay for the interests on our debt due to the entitlements. What would Lincoln have thought about that?"
Duhhh. He would have said raise the taxes on all income above $500,000 to 100% and ruthlessly eliminate loopholes to ensure the effective rate comes as close to that rate as possible. Then he would lay into our capital gains tax rates with an axe and when the wails and cries of protest came forth from the money-drenched capitalist pigs were, he would keep hacking away with ruthless determination.
That's what I would see Abraham Lincoln doing were he president today.

And when he got through with all that, he would have done what Roosevelt did and would have instituted massive public works projects putting millions of able-bodied Americans to work basically overnight, again over the howls and cries of the capitalists crying "communist!".
And then, when all that was in the works, he would probably set to work on some serious wealth confiscation.

Child, please. The federal government in the 1840's wasn't even 1/100 of 1% a portion of the economy/GDP as it is today. That comparison is beyond laughable. What did the federal government do in the 1840s, it financed wars. That's about it. Sure as heck wasn't 20+% of the economy (federal only, gulp) as it is today.
Again, you want a balanced budget and no cuts in spending, raise the taxes on every single thing, every dollar you make, everything you buy (oh yeah, need a federal sales tax) by 1/3 and we'll get there.
Do that and there won't be a need for a press in this country as no one would have 50c to pay for the paper, who could afford to run an ad in it, etc.?
Think old Honest Abe might have thought we have a bit of a spending problem? It's what separates smart people like him from idiots like Nancy Pelosi….

Never mind that taxes is evil—evil, I tell you. I bet if you dug real deep into Honest Abe's writing you'd find something about how much he regretted getting rid of the kind institution of Slavery. And that's how Those People got turned loose on the world. With the result you can't hardly find anybody that will work for peanuts and do stuff you don't want to do.

Jay, you must hate me! I was first on your last blog and I wasn't congratulated! I'm hurt!
now to your current article, and your reply to pogo,
Our tax rates may be lower than they have ever been in 50 years but is our dollar even close in it's current value than it was 50 years ago. Saying that, if tax rates when up with inflation we would not have a middle class and we would have even more working poor individuals and families in this country. When I made 30000 in 2007 it was good enough to support my family and we were pretty close to middle class, today my wife and I combined income is 30000 and I don't even know how we are making it.
I still honestly believe that if we lower rates, eliminate all deductions except a personal deduction and possibly retain the child tax credit, more revenue would flow into the federal coffers.
But I've always argued we spend way to much as a nation, especially on stuff we don't have any business spending anything on.

List: Items found in Adam Lanza's home
Police recovered 165 items from Adam and Nancy Lanza's home. Items listed below are as reported in the search warrants. Read the related article or see redacted search warrants.
Documents included gun-ownership manuals, the book "Born On a Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant," the book "NRA Guide to the Basics of Pistol Shooting" and separate NRA certificates naming Nancy and Adam Lanza. The NRA denies any connection between the Lanzas and the organization.

Last I knew, I (we), as parents, are responsible for laying the foundation for our kids (right /wrong, freedom to an adolescent is less freedom until they can prove they know the difference). I don't remember any village raising our kids (outside of our crazy family village).

I've forgotten more history than you ever knew Stinkie. And the fact you use your talkradio FOXBOT lie "liberal ilk" to describe me also means I've crapped out more brains than you ever had.
But thanks. If you watched it it would have to be pretty simplistic. I didn't realize it was a cartoon.

On a lighter note Fred, we have two daughters, are they ever
insane sane?
There I fixed your typo and the answer is probably not. I have one and she is as crazy as hell…….. and she isn't even hormonal yet, I mean a teenager…….. I shudder at the thought of two………. I envy Brocephus not at all lol.

I don't think it's fair to attack the NRA by association in that tragedy and for that reason don't plan to mention that aspect of it.
Props to you Mr. Bookman.
I'm more struck by the fact that the kid fired 150-plus rounds in less than five minutes, apparently all from one weapon.
Wouldn't have made any difference. If the Bushmaster had not been available he would have taken the 12 ga he left in the car and done his awful business.
A society that allows that much destructive firepower in untrained, untested civilian hands has gone a little nutso.
A society that allows a person to go to an auto showroom and buy a car that will go 160 mph has gone a little nutso, also.

Wow godless heathen: Refresh my memory. When was the last time 20+ children were killed by someone in a car going 160+ mph, I can't seem to recall that one……..

"But thanks. If you watched it it would have to be pretty simplistic."
You're welcome.
You're silly though, Freddie. I frequently watch MIT professors discuss quantum physics and such. Does my viewership render their presentations "simplistic?" I think not.
I recommend you stick with your Michael Moore VHS tapes for stimulation. Perhaps you could mix in some Jim Carey tapes for intellectual variety.

I don't remember any village raising our kids (outside of our crazy family village).
I can't say the same. My family's well known in my hometown, and I couldn't do anything without the news beating me home after I had done it. My current neighborhood actually works like that too. The kids were acting up, so every parent in the neighborhood got together and dished out collective punishment to stop the crap that was going on. There haven't been noticable problems since then.

Adams, like Jefferson, was one of the first to advocate that we the people are the sovereigns in this country. The only sovereigns.
Not the monied interests, not the churches, the people.
He also asserted that we sovereigns have unalienable rights that cannot be voted away by a majority of voters. His philosophy centered on limiting corruption and greed.
There must be a positive Passion for the public good, the public Interest, Honor, Power, and Glory, established in the Minds of the People, or there can be no Republican Government, nor any real Liberty. And this public Passion must be Superior to all private Passions. Men must be ready, they must pride themselves, and be happy to sacrifice their private Pleasures, Passions, and Interests, nay their private Friendships and dearest connections, when they Stand in Competition with the Rights of society. ~John Adams, 1776
He was the anti-modern day Republican…

The Bully Society
School Shootings and the Crisis of Bullying in America's Schools

Gender & Women's Studies
Part of the
Choice's Outstanding Academic Title list for 2013
In today's schools, kids bullying kids is not an occasional occurrence but rather an everyday reality where children learn early that being sensitive, respectful, and kind earns them no respect. Jessie Klein makes the provocative argument that the rise of school shootings across America, and childhood aggression more broadly, are the consequences of a society that actually promotes aggressive and competitive behavior.
The Bully Society
is a call to reclaim America's schools from the vicious cycle of aggression that threatens our children and our society at large.
Heartbreaking interviews illuminate how both boys and girls obtain status by acting "masculine"—displaying aggression at one another's expense as both students and adults police one another to uphold gender stereotypes. Klein shows that the aggressive ritual of gender policing in American culture creates emotional damage that perpetuates violence through revenge, and that this cycle is the main cause of not only the many school shootings that have shocked America, but also related problems in schools, manifesting in high rates of suicide, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-cutting, truancy, and substance abuse. After two decades working in schools as a school social worker and professor, Klein proposes ways to transcend these destructive trends—transforming school bully societies into compassionate communities.
Jessie Klein
is Assistant Professor of Sociology/Criminal Justice at Adelphi University. Over the last two decades, she also led and administered high school guidance programs. She served as a supervisor, school social worker, college adviser, social studies teacher, substance abuse prevention counselor and conflict resolution coordinator. Her writing appears in scholarly journals as well as popular media. She is available for speaking events; and offers consultations for schools interested in building compassionate communities leading to more peaceful, effective and productive education environments.

"Taking the horrific rampage school shootings as a starting point, Jessie Klein resists pop-psychology profiling, and instead lets the events ramify outwards, to a searing indictment of the cultures of cruelty, entitlement and indifference in which those acts take place."
-Michael Kimmel, author of
"Exceptionally readable, abundant examples, and full of salient suggestions for social change; no future discussion of this topic can afford to ignore
The Bully Society
-James W. Messerschmidt, author of
Hegemonic Masculinities and Camouflaged Politics
"The author writes with clarity and compassion... she offers an opportunity for us to examine, discuss and consider the world we have created for our children."
Kirkus Reviews
The Bully Society
is riveting and powerful—Jessie Klein uncovers the roots of depression, school shootings, and other despair in American schools and offers brilliant and doable solutions. This amazing and hopeful book is a clarion call to all concerned about children; parents, professionals, anyone working with youth should read it. Jessie Klein led the team that helped launch me from being homeless to Harvard University; and she got everyone from my class (from an at-risk public high school) into a 4-year college—most with full scholarships. Surely her book can spearhead a movement for peaceful schools in America and her successes can be replicated.
The Bully Society
is poignant and timely at a moment when everyone should be listening. Frankly, we can't afford not to. The stories Klein tells are heartbreaking. She knows what it takes to create compassionate communities where students thrive—and what must be done to dismantle the more common school bully cultures. A must read for everyone who wants to see American students move from a sea of fear, anxiety, and rage to flourish academically, socially, and psychologically.
The Bully Society
points the way for students (and schools) to develop their full potential."
-Liz Murray, author of
Breaking Night: A Memoir of My Journey from Homeless to Harvard
"This powerful, necessary book shows how the epidemic cruelty of young people generates many of the social problems that are undermining American society. In pondering what it means to be a bully and to be the victim of a bully, Jessie Klein shows why our schools are failing us, explains crimes long viewed as inexplicable, and offers a stunning indictment of laissez-faire attitudes toward children. Her book illuminates a very dark problem, and proposes solutions that, if we are brave enough to adopt them, might be transformative not only in the lives of suffering individuals, but also in the health of the nation. I wish everyone around me had had this book to read when I was bullied as a child."
-Andrew Solomon, author of
The Noonday Demon
"In this thorough examination of the connection between bullying and three decades of school shootings in America, Adelphi University professor Klein presents a compelling case that the strict gender rules by which American children and teenagers are unfairly forced to live are the driving factors in school violence."
Publishers Weekly
"Readers wanting an in-depth explanation of what's behind school bullying will get that and much more in
The Bully Society
. Professor Klein has rendered an exceedingly thorough analysis of the bullying and hate crimes and shootings that have shocked America in the last decade or so. In addition, Dr. Klein makes a compelling argument that the causes of bullying are rooted in the American culture itself—an obsession with masculinity and hyper-individualism that promotes competition over collaboration and denies young people the kinds of authentic bonding experiences that encourage the development of healthy self-esteem."
New York Journal of Books
"Klein, a former school counselor who now teaches sociology and criminal justice, forms a coherent, heartbreaking narrative of how bullying works."
The Boston Globe
"Written for a diverse audience, this is an important read for higher education as a teaching tool, for training educators in today's schools, and for helping to appropriately respond to the phenomenon of bullying in today's schools. Destined to emerge as an important text."
"A scholarly, insightful commentary on aggression and violence within peer groups....this title is highly recommended for professional shelves and teacher training courses."
The Bully Society
is a remarkably accessible book and can be read both by students, teachers, and parents. It is an important tool to use when combating bullying in high schools."

America's Suburban Schools Facing new Pressures. One of the problems with many school reforms being implemented in schools today is that they are being done in isolation -'" from one another and from other policies that are necessary to actually allow the education changes to work. In the following post, two professors explain how housing policy affects America's suburban schools in a profound way. Amy Stuart Wells is a professor of sociology at Teachers College, Columbia University, and Douglas Ready is an associate professor of education policy at Teachers College.

In a surprise move by the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon, Pro Bowl Center Andre Gurode is being held out of tonight's game against the Minnesota Vikings for what is being called a "business decision".
During tonight's pre-game show, Owner Jerry Jones confirmed that Gurode will not play tonight and that a discussion about his future will be had with him on Sunday morning. Jones also mentioned salary cap issues and camp competition as other reasons the five-time pro bowler was being held out despite making the trip to Minnesota. Gurode could be seen pacing the sidelines in street clothes during game warm ups.
It appears that Phil Costa has won the starting center job despite being injured recently. Jones also mentioned that Costa's current injury would not effect what will ultimately happen with Gurode.
It sounds like a trade is in the works and Gurode is being held out do to injury concerns. It is possible that Andre could just also be another victim of the Boy's current salary cap woes.

Sneak-peek at Lime-Crime's new "Alchemy Collection" Lipsticks: Serpentina and Poisonberry!
I don't have any information at this point, though I do know Lime Crime is releasing some cool new items this coming holiday season, aside from these 2 lipsticks which look darned fab by the way…
Am very happy they're finally adding more lipsticks soon, since they're my fave products from the line, and these would be a change up from the usual neon, Candy-land colors the brand is better known for!
(You know I'll rock Poisonberry at that office soiree… Maybe.)
P.S. How much does Poisonberry resemble Dior's iconic Poison?

Great handlebar mounted mirrors for safety and dual sport applications.
Dan in ID
It has to almost touch my hand to fit on my bikes. Seems ok quality. It'd get a 3 star rating but its really nice for digging bugs or dirt out of your eye.Read All Reviews
Tyler in UT
All the reviews that say that they are all garbage and vibrate uncontrollably are pretty accurate. If you are comparing this to the style of mirror that threads in to your perches you will not be happy, but if you ride primarily dirt this style of mirror is definitely the way to go. They are cheap and essentially disposable, and if you go down you don't have to worry about your mirror taking out your clutch or brake perch and ruining your ride. RM carries three brands of "dual sport mirrors," I have used all three, this one is noticeably better than the other two. It sticks out at a better angle allowing me to almost see around my body, and vibrates slightly less than the other two.Read All Reviews
DUANE in CO
Much better than the plastic mirrors for visibility - much less vibration if mounted securely, but if you crank it down tight enough to eliminate vibration the mounting stud will snap off easily if you whack a branch or fall.Read All Reviews

Mirror installation was easy enough. The mirror was not usable while riding as I could not see anything behind me with it, which is what I expected. The mirror vibrated quite a bit...at first I thought I had a problem with my cam chain tensioner until I realized it was the mirror. I brought the mirror portion off in a fall during a long trip. I didn't notice at first so I don't recall how gnarly the crash was. I think I'll replace it with something of higher quality.Read All Reviews

Avcon, Bizjet launch joint Learjet 20 RSVM upgrade
After discovering last September that both companies were planning to launch their own RVSM certification programs for the Learjet 20 series, Avcon and Bizjet International decided that "rather than fight each other for the same market, we preferred to come to an agreement and cut the research and development costs in half." According to Larry Franke, president of Avcon, each company will bear half the cost of development and certification, with Avcon as the lead company in the development phase. Avcon, which will hold the STC, will build the kits at its Newton, Kan. facility. Bizjet International will be licensed to install them at its Tulsa, Okla. site. The two companies anticipate certification of the equipment early next month, followed by group approval in the spring. The target cost is less than $150,000. There may be an additional expense involved in "tweaking the autopilot" to ensure proper interface with the RVSM equipment.

Authorities said that a smoking custodian sparked a fire that destroyed an elementary school by tossing his cigarette into a trash can.
Officials issued a summons to Jerome C. Higgins, 48, of East Brunswick, for smoking inside James Monroe Elementary School in Edison, N.J. The charge is a petty disorderly persons offense.
The fire began in a trash can inside the custodian's office and quickly spread throughout the school, officials said.
About a dozen firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation.
The school enrolled about 500 students from kindergarten through fifth grade.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office is continuing to investigate the fire. If you have any information, you can call (732) 745-3300.

SUFFOLK (AP) -- The Nature Conservancy is receiving a $25,000 grant to help restore the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Suffolk.
Officials say the grant from the Norfolk Southern Foundation will help the organization and its partners install water control systems at the 112,000-acre refuge straddles the border of Virginia and North Carolina.
The funding also will be used to identify ways to manage water flow in order to reduce the threat of intense peat fires like the ones that threatened the region in 2011 and 2008. Costs related to those fires totaled more than $20 million and burned more than 6,500 acres of forest and swamp.
Officials say the project will complement the pending installation of several other water control systems in the refuge and in Dismal Swamp State Park to the south.

Police said a woman was rushed to the hospital after she was shot in the leg by a man outside of a Greenwood home.
Greenwood police said the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting on Blyth Road about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Police said when they responded to the hospital, they spoke with a man in the waiting room who said he was picked up by his grandmother and the victim on the way to the hospital.
Then when officers spoke with the victim, she told them that she was shot by the man in the waiting room after she had an argument with him at a home on Blyth Road, according to the police report.
Police said the woman was scared to tell them who shot her at first, fearing he might "finish me off."
Police said the man, identified as 30-year-old Larry Hawes Jr., was taken into custody on charges of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and felon in possession of a firearm.

Finding Nemo 3D
This pattern of re-releasing Disney and Pixar classics in 3-D is almost a great idea. I qualify it with the almost, of course, because of the 3-D part. "Finding Nemo" is the latest film from the House of Mouse to get the third dimension reissue, and indeed, Pixar's 2003 classic is just as great as you remember it. The emotion still sings, the compositions still exhilarate, and the smooth Ocean renderings still amaze. It's all just a little bit dimmer.
The thing is, I love the general idea of these things. There's such an influx of kids' products on the market today, and such a lack of quality at the same time. Disney has an everlasting treasure trove of classics that could be rereleased, introducing kids to both the classics and, hopefully, the theatrical experience itself. And there are plenty of us well beyond our adolescence who wouldn't mind paying to see everything from "WALL*E" and "Sleeping Beauty" to "A Bug's Life" and "The Aristocats" on the big screen one more time.
The problem is that the 3-D itself ruins everything you've come to love about these pictures. I'm not even the biggest "Nemo" fan (I love it, don't get me wrong, but it's certainly not my favorite Pixar film) and even I had the cool blues of that ocean and the vibrant oranges of our titular fish burned into my mind ten years ago. What you see here, under your glasses, are not the same colors; it's not the same film. I can't imagine how disheartened the animators, who spent years getting every tiny detail of the palette correct, must feel about this treatment.
And the 3-D is hardly noticeable here. I won't deny that some films have used it well ("Paranorman" comes to mind,) but in the case of this particular reissue, it's a marketing scheme, not an "immersive experience". It's crass, and to me the cardboard cut-out style appearance totally robs the film of its ever-so-smooth sense of movement. It's a shadow of my original memory of the film - it feels more like something you'd see at Disneyland than at the Multiplex. I appreciate the possibilities, just not the execution.
However, the reissue does give you one thing the 2003 version lacked. Another "Toy Story" short film from the team at Pixar Canada (they've preceded "The Muppets" and "Tangled" already,) "Partysaurus Rex" plays before all screenings of the new "Nemo" - and it absolutely tears the house down. When Rex the toy dinosaur gets labeled a "party-pooper," he decides to make a new name for himself, and a move to the 'bathtub play area' is the perfect opportunity.
So look, it goes without saying that "Finding Nemo" is wonderful. We all know that. You know the story, you know that Albert Brooks is a master comedian perfectly rendered as a clownfish, you know that Ellen DeGeneres finds a way to be over-the-top without being grating, and you know that any kids in tow are going to adore it. The question is whether you're willing to spend $12+ to see a dimmer version of an old movie that you spend $8 to see ten years ago (seriously, the nicest thing I can say about the 3-D is that the custom Nemo glasses are pretty funny.)
If you can find a theater exhibiting the film in 2-D, then it's one of the best options at the multiplex today. But otherwise, it's a great movie, at an exorbitant price, with presentation that leaves much to be desired. 2-D options notwithstanding, I think I'd wait for the Blu-ray.

OK, so this is gonna be a must-read: Rihanna's label are flying one hundred press flacks to seven countries in seven days, on Rihanna's tour plane, to document her album-launch press tour. Popjustice is one of those journalists, and they're blogging about it. This is either a chance to do an AMAZING week of posts about the modern pop machine, OR it is a chance for Popjustice to do that thing where they skirt up to greatness and then get really, really lazy and don't do anything with it under cover of being nonchalant. So, uh, don't do that last one, and this is gonna work out great, guys.
Most important blog of the day, obviously.
A couple guys ahead of me in Greenberg are doing that no homo thing of leaving an empty seat in between them. In fucking Greenberg.
(PS. Spoiler alert! Ben Stiller's character is actually Jennifer Jason Leigh.)
(Oh and thanks for spoiling Shutter Island for me earlier. Your justification for doing so was not at all inadequate!)
(And yes you are on the receiving end of my bitch gun today because somebody had to be.)
Sigh. The good things always end. Thank you for everything, Maura.
Dear Tumblr Friends*,
I'm hoping to self-publish the book Live Wrong and Prosper: Your Morals for A Million, partly because this game never gets old to me and partly because I have a backlog of hundreds and hundreds of questions I'm excited to share with the world. I'm using Kickstarter to raise the money for publishing costs, and I'm asking for your help; by donating anything you can – even, say, $1.00 (and every donation is much appreciated) – I can get this book made. Plus, you get rewards – prizes of sorts – for giving! If you've enjoyed the blog at all – and I really, really hope you have – I hope you'll give whatever you can to help me complete the book.
To check out my Kickstarter page and watch me ask random strangers on the street some Live Wrong and Prosper questions (Note: Apparently, most people would NOT eat a bowl of their own shit for $1M) please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/easylover/live-wrong-and-prosperthe-book.
I appreciate any help, including just reblogging this.
* We are friends, aren't we?
This is a thing that everyone reading this should do.
You could get really upset and freaked out whenever Tumblr adds a service or feature you find weird.
Or you could just use the damn thing the same way you always did and disregard any and all bullshit that comes across your path.
Just sayin'. The "Create post" button still works, right? Cool. Let's not shit bricks about our Tumblarity or our Tumbling-bling or our Tumbotron or whatever nonsense they wind up stapling onto a perfectly functional frame.
P.S. This same message applies to listening to / reacting to the idiotic ramblings of supposed "all-star" Tumblr people that — trust me, I know from experience — you can very easily choose to ignore completely while living a full and satisfying life.
Please help support Matthew and his Fluxblog by buying one of his limited-edition FluxTees (via catbird).
I bought the insanely charming "Comic" version by John Cei Douglas.
Michael Kupperman is blogging now. Please delete all of your other bookmarks, you're only going to need this one from here on out. (Kupperman is the creator of the almost unbearably funny SNAKE 'N' BACON'S CARTOON CABARET and TALES DESIGNED TO THRIZZLE. Yes, there are strip samples on the blog.)
Vicky, I think this guy might be right up your alley. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you don't even have an alley, and maybe you don't like things up it. But if you do, you should try this out and see how it feels.
OK, I know it's considered deeply uncool to read anybody's Tumblr from anywhere other than the Dashboard, but I've put a new theme on mine that I'm pretty happy with, although I'm still tweaking a few things. The most important bit is that I have gone through my archives and tagged pretty much every post, because I'm crazy. You may enjoy perusing the Suggested Topics list in the sidebar. This feels like a real blog now — which probably means I'll lose interest in it in a couple of months! Yay!
Tagging all of my posts revealed to me that I still haven't posted about dinosaurs as many times as I've posted about Sarah Palin, but we will get there, America.

As you may have noticed, we've taken a somewhat leisurely summer break here at Librarian Central. We've been thinking about how to best communicate with you, our audience, and as a result, we've decided to close this blog in order to focus on our newsletter.
We began our outreach to the librarian community with the intention of sharing information with you about Google. This includes information about our library partnerships, products that you might find useful and details about Google Book Search. We're still committed to these goals.
To that end, we're going to provide news, product features and other Google-related announcements through our Google Librarian Newsletter, which we'll send out every few months. The Newsletter has also been on holiday, but today it's back in full effect: you can read our current issue online, and if you're not already receiving the newsletter by email you can subscribe to it here.
As always, past editions are available to view at any time on the Google Librarian Central site. Working in tandem with this page is Google for Educators, a resource for information about how to use a wide range of Google tools. We'll use the Google for Educators page to post teaching tools like our posters and tip sheets.
We want to thank everyone who has read or commented on the blog, subscribed to the newsletter or sent us an email. We've learned a lot from you about the resources you're looking for, and we greatly appreciate that you've taken the time to guide us. We want to keep this dialogue open, so please stay in touch with us.
Enjoy your summer, in moderation of course. We look forward to sending you our next newsletter.

Preventing Child Abduction
Nearly 800,000 children under the age of 18 are reported missing each year in the United States, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The American Journal of Nursing reports 10 mothers a year have had their infants snatched from their own homes.
Cases of kidnapped babies taken from public places like homes, parking lots, and shopping malls have doubled -- even as tighter security has cut the number of newborns stolen from hospitals and health centers by half.
What Moms Can Do about Preventing Child Abduction
"Safety Chick" Kathleen Baty gives moms pointers for decreasing your children's odds of becoming a victim.
Watch who you associate with. The majority of abducted children are taken by someone they know. That's why you have to be especially careful about who you surround yourself with and who you let into your home. Before you hire a carpet-cleaning company, for instance, make sure they do background checks on employees before letting a worker into your house.
Use common sense. Make sure to lock all doors and windows every night.
Create a "perimeter of safety" around your house. Install sensor lights. Criminals don't want to be seen. If there's a spotlight that goes on when they enter your yard, that could be a deterrent.
"Stalk yourself." Take a walk around your house and see what strangers can see. Can they see into your drapes or blinds? Make sure no one can see into your children's rooms, especially. You don't want someone to be able to see where your child sleeps from the street.
Get an alarm system in the home. You want to know the second someone is entering ... not wait to find out until they're at the foot of your bed or in your child's room.
Get alarmed screens. That way, you can still open windows and get fresh air in the day, but if the screen is cut or removed, the alarm will go off. These would have been especially helpful in the Elizabeth Smart abduction, because he came in through a window.
If you want to go the extra mile, create a "safe room" in your house. Baty recommends a walk-in closet that doesn't have windows. Install a bolt lock high enough on the door that your kids can't reach it, and keep a baseball bat and a plugged-in cell phone in that room at all times. Program the number of your local police department into that phone.
Make sure your kids know if there is a burglar in the house, everyone should meet in the "safe room." Then, if an emergency strikes, lock yourself in and call the police.

Comments On Jul 18, 2014:They get the job done even though I strongly dislike changing tires. I would suggest getting three if you are changing a rear tire.

Comments On Jul 07, 2014:I bought one of these a few years ago along with a 16" and still have it to this day, used it many times to change tires on my bike. I've even used it to change stiff thick dot knobby's and car/truck tires. Has never bent or broke on me, like it so much i bought another one recently, they're the perfect size to give you decent leverage but still fit in most packs. It helps a ton to have at least 3 maybe one being longer

Comments On Jun 30, 2014:It's a bit expensive for what it does, but it works well. What is the usefulness of the ends being looped, I don't know, but if anyone does, please enlighten me (and someone else, I'm sure).
You will definitely be needing three tire irons of any kind to change a tire with a bit of ease as far as changing tires goes.

Confessions Confessions» Disciplinary Issues »religion is my sin...
religion is my sin
This is my first time on this site and i want to share somethig very very personal to me that i have never shared with anyone.
I do not believe in God and I am ok with that thought process.but i also know that my parents will never accept it as they think that a person without religion is a person who is on his way to sins. Just to pacify them I participate in worship rituals and daily offerings to God, but i do not believe in a single word or action. I feel guilty of participating in the things that i do not agree with but i feel helpless.
