I'm running Mac OS X and Linux (Fedora Core) exclusively at home now. I finally pushed Windows out of my home last year. (read more) I'd been considering it for a while, but I couldn't get over that fear that I wouldn't be able to run important applications.
That's a fear that many users have, and luckily there are plenty of options. You can dual boot, use virtualization (Parallels for Mac users), or use a virtual machine (VMWare). These ideas still didn't sit right with me. I was getting hung up on price. There was one thing common to all three approaches: you need to pay the Microsoft Tax unless you plan on stealing Windows. And that tax could get excessive if you're using virtualization. I really haven't had a need to run any Windows apps, so I never seriously looked into any of these approaches.
Fast forward to today; I don't have a single regret. However, I do have a stinking layout bug with my blog for users of IE. I have a strong dislike of Windows, and to a lesser degree most of Microsoft's software, but I certainly wish no ill will on IE users. I tried several times to figure out the CSS problem with my theme from win Windows XP laptop in the office, but it's hard to justify working on your blog on company time. So I started thinking about how to run Windows at home again.
Enter Wine. Wine's an open source implementation of many of Windows' APIs…and technically that's all you need to run many windows applications. This makes perfect sense, because windows applications are simple binaries compiled for an x86 architecture and linked against windows libraries. The problem on Linux is that you don't have those libraries. Well with Wine, now you do.
WineHQ has plenty of precompiled binaries for various Linux distros. I wanted to try this out on my Intel Mac instead, so I found a link to CodeWeavers' site and downloaded a trial version of CrossOver for Mac. CrossOver is a commercial version of Wine that has been heavily polished and ported to OS X. I was incredibly easy to install and start up (like any Mac app), but more importantly, they make it really easy to install Win32 apps. Many are directly supported by Wine, do I was able to pick IE 6 from a list and it downloaded and installed it for me.
I'm not sure if my needs to run Windows apps are strong enough to pay $59 for CrossOver, so I may let my trial run out. But if I do find a future need for it, I'd rather give them $59 than pay for a Windows XP license and a virtualization or virtual machine environment.
BTW, my problem with the blog was that I had an image that was wider than 450px. That pushed past the width of my center column, and IE forced it to be rendered below the sidebar column. I just reduced the image size…fixed. Thanks to WordPress Support Forum.

The "Wild and Precious" Present
I'm currently participating in a writing group that meets on a monthly basis. Between each of our meetings, one of the facilitators sends out a topic on which all of us in the group are invited to reflect and write for our next session together. Today, as my post for this blog, I would like to share the inspiration for the group's most recent topic — an excerpt from a poem by Mary Oliver — and what came to my mind related to anxiety as I thought about it.
Here in Indianapolis, Indiana, we have had snow and ice on the ground in the neighborhood where I live since the day after Christmas (as I write these words, it is January 8). Now, don't get me wrong — I don't mind snow, at least initially. I don't even mind ice — well, for a few days, anyway. After almost two weeks, though, as beautiful as I may find the snow and ice at first, I am past ready for the stuff to melt. Then, I'm okay if it starts all over again — really. I just want a break! Actually, to be absolutely honest, I want an opportunity to walk to the mailbox at the end of the work day without ice skating in my slick-soled dress shoes — to not have a break (of an arm or a leg, that is!). If I were on a reality TV show during any given winter, I would be the cast member (in)famous for wacky arms-waving, yelling-out-loud (and cursing under my breath!) incidents of nearly losing my footing every time I walked out the front door. Yeah, I'm that guy. I'm sure sometimes that my real-life neighbors get together, snickering behind the curtains of the window with the best vantage point, just to watch.
Given this winter context, the topic for the writing group — a couple of lines from a poem called "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver (House of Light, 1990) — strikes me as especially ironic, and welcome. After so many days of snow and ice on the ground, I'm ready for a bit of summer — however I can get it! In the poem, the narrator contemplates creation, the company of a grasshopper that eats sugar out of her hand, and she enjoys herself — just being — in fields of grass on a summer day. The lines that the group facilitator asks us to reflect on for our writing this month come from the very end of the poem, when the narrator turns to the audience with a question. In my own head, I hear the question as the narrator's response to an imagined reprimand for spending the day in what some people would surely interpret as an indolent, even self-indulgent fashion:
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
What comes up for me when I read these last lines of Oliver's poem is what I heard the narrator just describe doing with her own "wild and precious" life during a summer day that she spends in fields of grass — attending to the moment, to her experience in the moment. I hear the narrator's question, then, as a call to live in the present — a practice that, in my own experience, is so often a challenge when I am feeling anxious. Anxiety has a knack for pulling me out of the present moment, whatever may be happening, whether I'm judging the experience that I'm having as a positive or negative one, and setting my mind racing along the lines of "What if … " and "Then what … ?" If I'm in the middle of an unpleasant experience, the anxiety does not help — I feel only more miserable, in fact. If I'm in the middle of a pleasant experience, the anxiety cheats me out of enjoying it. Either way, anxiety gets me worrying about things that may never happen, at the expense of being present to whatever is happening in the here-and-now, and being able to make conscious choices about how I want to think and feel about those things, and how I want to respond behaviorally. What is it that I plan to do with my one "wild and precious" life? My own answer to Oliver's narrator is that I plan to be as present as I can manage to be. Like everyone else with a similar goal (I know that you're out there!), I am always learning how to do so.
When I feel anxious, I'm aware that I have begun to focus my thinking on fears and doubts. I get caught up in my head this way, with side effects that I notice in my body: an upset stomach, palpitating heart, sweating, and restlessness. When I feel anxious, I am plagued by restlessness of my mind as well, in the form of poor concentration — on everything except what I'm feeling anxious about! What helps me when I'm feeling anxious is to bring myself back into the present moment; I am often able to do this by getting out of my head, centering and grounding myself in the sensory experiences of my body. I may take a few slow, deep breaths, concentrating on my experience of those breaths (the sensation of air filling my lungs, my abdomen expanding, and then the reverse) instead of the anxious thoughts that are spinning in my head. I may take a few sips of cold water, noticing the temperature of the water in my mouth, against my tongue, and down my throat as I swallow. At this point, I may then remind myself of what is going well in my life, a few reasons for feeling grateful, giving thanks, in the present. If I have more time, I may decide to take a walk (if there is not snow and ice on the ground!) or go to the gym, listen to music that comforts and soothes me, or meditate. I may use the idea of "Worry Time," postponing my worry until a certain period later in the day; when that time comes, then, I usually find myself bored by my anxiety before my allotted "Worry Time" is over.
Now, if your experiences of anxiety are anything like mine, they may feel a bit like losing your footing on the ice — out of control, scary, potentially embarrassing if someone is around to see, tending to induce anxiety about having another such experience in the future (which means, then, a sense of anxiety about anxiety … ack!). Clearly, being able to be present to the moment in the midst of such experiences can be a challenge. As corny as this may sound, I often say to myself, "Wow! I'm feeling really anxious right now! How do I want to handle this experience of anxiety in a way that is going to feel helpful to me?" I remind myself that what I'm going through is only temporary, and won't kill me. Though I would much rather be experiencing myself as "idle and blessed" in fields of grass on a summer day than seized with a sense of anxiety, whatever the context, I do my best to practice the kind of radical attention to the "wild and precious" present moment of life that I find exemplified by the narrator in Oliver's poem. I think of the present as "wild" because, even with all of my anxious "What if … ?" and "Then what … ?" thinking, I know that I can't actually control the outcome of events with that thinking (though anxiety constantly tries to convince me otherwise!). I think of the present as "precious" because, when I'm able to make conscious decisions in the moment about how I'm thinking about things, feeling, and how I want to respond behaviorally, the benefits to increasing my sense of calm and confidence are invaluable.
Here's to your own increasing sense of calm and confidence!
For more ideas about anxious thinking and responses to help us foster a greater sense of calm and confidence, feel free to see other Thought Tonic posts at thoughttonic.com; you can follow this blog, by Scott Burns Kahler, MA, LMFT, via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or RSS feed.

Student Body:
Lots of different organizations set up for different diversities
Online Courses:
Not applicable to me but I have heard of other people's experiences
Academic Experience:
Great experience so far in regards to registration, teachers etc
Academic Experience:
Teachers are very knowledgable, most working in the industry still
Seems to be diverse number of cultures
Campus Resources:
Some of the buildings are a little old looking but there is evidence they are trying to make it more modern and offer lots of activities and clubs
Campus Resources:
Wireless is not always reliable
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Its bad that international students are charged so much more than resident students, particularly if you have been living in the City for 2 years but because I am on an F1 Visa I am charged 3 times more
Career Services:
Not had much interaction so far but from the conversations I have had they have been helpful
Overall Experience:
As I already mentioned, the professionally and passion of the teachers is one of the highlights. It not only makes the classes interesting but they are able to make their students motivated as well (I wish that students participated more in class...). I have really enjoyed my experience as I have made a lot of great connections and learned quite a lot.
Academic Experience:
All the professors that I had are great professionals. Class registration has always been smooth even when traveling abroad. workload varies depending on the courses.
Academic Experience:
I wish I would have had the time to focus more on psychology related courses. In order to fulfill the GE and the major requirements to transfer I haven't had time to explore other interesting areas of psychology.
What I love about CCSF is that it provides education suited for everyones needs. As a tutor I had young students preparing to transfer to a university, elderly people that wanted to learn something new, or students that wanted to complement their BA education with extra classes. Education is a necessary tool for the masses and CCSF is trying its best to provide it.
Academic Flexibility:
I have been very lucky throughout the 5 semesters that I have been at CCSF. I have always been able to choose the classes and teachers that I wanted. There is a lot of information about UC and CSU transferrable courses which makes it easier to create an efficient academic plan.
Student Body:
Students come from very diverse backgrounds in all aspects.
Career Services:
I haven't used any services provided by the career center, yet.
Campus Resources:
I don't have much experiences with American colleges. I like CCSF, is small, cozy, and provides all the services that I need. The wellness center is new and in great condition. The library offers an ok book selection from multiple topics. A new recently opened cafe provides great food and nice atmosphere.
Campus Resources:
There are a lot of computer labs. Printing is also available, with ok prices. I never had any problem with the network.
Online Courses:
I'm not enjoying my current online course but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't enjoy another, maybe. I'm taking Asian Art history and I believe that I would be learning so much more if I could be in class with the professor and other students. But I believe that online courses are a great resource for those who don't have the time to go to class.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I have an H4 visa which makes it a little complicated when applying for aid. I can't say for sure if the college is doing a good job providing aid to US citizens.Tuition is expensive for non residents but still more affordable than a 4year college.
Campus Resources:
there are many reliable resources at my school . It is easy to get what your looking for.
Campus Resources:
the connection is always down.i can't bring my laptop because wifi is bad also.
Student Body:
the student body haven't improved much at the school, they are stingy with the funds of the school and where it goes.
Academic Flexibility:
I haven't had a problem with flexibility at this school. Flexibility is good here when picking schedules for classes. I haven't tried to transfer credits yet but I will soon.
Overall Experience:
I had a good time attending this school. The people there that you become friends with make it worth while. But it can tend to feel like high school all over again if you went to high school in the city because so many students go here after they graduate from high school.

As a community college, City College of San Francisco offers a wide variety of courses, ranging from academically-focused classes to more hands-on, vocational classes. Because of the variety of courses offered, City College has a very eclectic student body. It is not rare to find fresh high school graduates sitting in the same class as retirees. But the difference is not simply one of age; there are also students that come from many countries from around the world.
For many, City College is a place of transition, which gives the school a certain energy. Like most higher learning institutions, what you want and how much you want to get out of your stay at City College depends entirely on your input. What City College offers is a broad and affordable education. The instructors are passionate about their subjects and care deeply about the success and development of their students. Classes are smaller at City College than at larger, more established universities, meaning that students get to know each other on a more personal basis, as do instructors and students. Many City College students transfer to well-established, four-year universities, and many others go on to do greater things for themselves and their communities.

Maybe the pump is wearing out, impeller-wise. You can go with lower pressure settings, just to see what the pump can produce.
I have a standard setup with a Gould J5SH shallow well pump and a Well-Rite pressure tank. The problem is that the pump is continously running. I have a new pressure regulator, working properly. I have cleaned the jet pump nozzle. I have checked the pressure tank pressure and added air to set the tank pressure to 28 PSI. The initial pressure was 0, so I expect I have a leak in the tank bladder and will be replacing the tank. But, what to do with the pump? Even if I precharge the pressure tank to 28 PSI, I cannot get the system pressure to go above 45 PSI. The pump just runs and will not shut off. There are no water leaks in the system. My initial thoughts are that the pump has seen its better days and should be replaced. Replacing the tank is going to be a bear. Replacing the tank and using the old pump just to find out I have to go back in with a new pump is what I am trying to avoid. Any second opionions based on experience?

Sometimes some crud gets caught in the nozzle which is usually accessible for cleaning through a removable plug on the centerline at the suction side.

Cut it off, glue on a female adapter, then screw a plug into the adapter.
Hi all
The cast iron sewer cleanout for my house is in a bad spot to be sticking up so high. It is about 10 feet outside my foundation wall and appears to be a 3" pipe sticking vertically out of the ground. But the pipe has a fitting that enlarges to a 4" at the end (just before where the cleanout plug is)
So I'd like to dig into the soil around the pipe, cut it off below the grade and put on a new plug - then put a "valve box" (the plastic jobbies usually seen around sprinkler valves?) over top of it.
I've never done any outdoor plumbing and I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something. Would I just put a rubber adapter (like a Fernco or Mission boot) over the cut end and then put on an ABS cleanout and plug?
I actually have installed and replaced a lot of DWV inside of houses, but I don't have even a beginner's understanding of where this sewer cleanout leads to and what I should be considering as far as future access. I've never seen a diagram of where the waste pipe goes after it enters the basement floor!
Cut it off, glue on a female adapter, then screw a plug into the adapter.
Hi HJ
So you think the valve box isn't a good idea? I'm afraid of people not knowing where this cleanout is in the future...
you say "...glue on a female adapter"> I guess I should have been more clear: it is a 1920s house and the sewer cleanout is cast iron. That's why I was thinking a Fernco was necessary. What material of adapter should I use to be code? And is there any reason to attempt to make the pipe 4" at the plug (like it was before) or should I just use 3"?
Thanks again!
I don't mean to press but it has been a week and I didn't hear back from HJ or another plumbing expert. Can someone read my original post and my follow-up and help me sort things out? I'm doing this tomorrow!
Originally Posted by bingo

A female adapter will allow you to use a screw-in plug. The irrigation box is a good idea. One alternate plan might be to figure how to hid the existing clean out with some shrubs and just leave it as is.
A female cleanout ferrule and a No-Hub coupling is all you need, once the pipe is cut off. I forgot, or missed, the cast iron part in my original answer because cast iron cleanouts are becoming very rare.
Will do and report back any weirdness...

Butte County Sheriff's
Office Warns Public of Phone Scam
The Butte County
Sheriff's Office has received multiple reports of citizens receiving phone
calls from someone identifying themselves as an employee of the Butte County
Sheriff's Office, advising that a warrant is about to be issued in the
citizen's name unless a payment is made within 90 minutes. The caller may be
using a technique known as "caller ID spoofing" which allows the caller to make
their phone number appear to be from the Sheriff's Office. This is a scam. The
Butte County Sheriff's Office does not call citizens to advise them of warrants
being issued.
If you receive a
phone call from someone identifying themselves as a BCSO employee advising of a
warrant being issued or requesting payment, do not provide any personal
information or credit card numbers. If you receive such a call, please report
by calling (530) 538-7322.

My wife and I had the opportunity to give blankets, towels and face cloths to the homeless at Hangtown Haven recently. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the camp, the organization of the facility, and the positive attitudes of the homeless.
Also, as a veteran (23 years in the U.S. Naval Reserve), I became aware that many of the inhabitants of the Haven were veterans as well. Then I realized that they had fought in many wars overseas to keep us safe at home, and now were homeless.
The city of Placerville is to be congratulated for providing the shelter of Hangtown Haven. We hope that they will extend the facility beyond the year that they have currently provided. The shelter does give the homeless the opportunity to get back on their feet.
Poverty in the US almost as bad as in North Korea: HERE.Reply |

LINK - European Union Sending $14.5 Million In Food Aid To North Korea</aReply |
Thank you. Having now read your articles, the following from the 9:11 am post: "The US continue to point its fingers on nations that do not live up the the standards of the American dream. Simultaneously, the US Government hide the ugly truth that food shortages and poverty is spreading like wild fire in America it self. The US media correctly reports that five out of 24 million North Korean's face food shortages. That is roughly 20 per cent of the population, and is surely a crime against humanity."Reply |
The data in THIS is now at least 4 years old. ********** "The nation's economic crisis has catapulted the number of Americans who lack enough food to the highest level since the government has been keeping track, according to a new federal report, which shows that nearly 50 million people -- including almost one child in four -- struggled last year to get enough to eat. ... The magnitude of the increase in food shortages -- and, in some cases, outright hunger -- identified in the report startled even the nation's leading anti-poverty advocates, who have grown accustomed to longer lines lately at food banks and soup kitchens. ... The data show that dependable access to adequate food has especially deteriorated among families with children. In 2008, nearly 17 million children, or 22.5 percent, lived in households in which food at times was scarce -- 4 million children more than the year before. And the number of youngsters who sometimes were outright hungry rose from nearly 700,000 to almost 1.1 million." ********** Four years later: the U.S. economy has worsened, more Americans are hungry and/or homeless, and nitpicking about comparative international numbers doesn't address problems on our home ground.Reply |
LINK - Visitors See North Korea Still Stunted by Its Isolation - NYT - Of the nation's 24 million citizens, the three million in Pyongyang are the most privileged. North Koreans need a special permit to live or come here. Still, signs of hardship are evident. Commuters crammed into decrepit electric buses, packed as tightly as boxes of toothpicks. Pedestrians bowed beneath huge bundles strapped to their backs, apparently stuffed with goods for trade in private markets that have eclipsed the ill-supplied state stores. Most were women; one collapsed on the sidewalk under the weight of her load. . . . Economists say coal production is, at best, half that of two decades ago, and Pyongyang has regular power shortages. At the elite Foreign Language Revolution School, students warmed themselves around stoves fed by coal or wood. In much of the city, residents report only a few hours of electricity daily. . . . New apartment buildings — apparently for officials — grace the city center. . . . Elsewhere, especially in northern provinces, residents report that child beggars haunt street markets, families scavenge hillsides for sprouts and mushrooms and workers at state enterprises receive nominal salaries, at best. . . . Although malnutrition has improved in the past decade, one in three North Korean children is stunted, and nearly one in five is underweight, according to the World Food Program. . . . Visiting Pyongyang as an outsider is a bit like entering a parallel reality. Official escorts stuck to visitors like Velcro. The rules were clear: No interviews without permission. No exploring beyond the hotel parking lot. Everyone was closely watched, with tactics reminiscent of a bad cold war spy movie. . . . Last month, the World Food Program reported that at that market a kilogram of rice, or 2.2 pounds, cost $10, about 10 times the price in Beijing. . . . Economists estimate that three of four North Korean factories are idle, lacking power and materials. . . . "Everyone knows the environment," the former humanities professor said of her university in Chongjin. "No electricity, no light, no heat. To compare American poverty to the poverty of this prison state population is an insult to its absolute wretchedness – an insult comparable to comparing a stolen kiss to rape. Such comparisons demean and diminish the citizen-victims while blurring and softening the political distinctions responsible for this horror.Reply |

Having imposed sanctions we then use that country's consequent desolation to dismiss the misery of American hunger and homelessness. ********** SIXTY YEARS OF FAILED SANCTIONS: "Purportedly only leveled against the government, the new round of financial sanctions will unequivocally have second- and third-order effects, further burdening North Korea's already impoverished population. . . . Constraints on foreign capital and financial transactions will, for instance, severely limit infrastructure and development projects in the cash-strapped north – projects that would improve the living conditions in North Korea. Sanctions haven't achieved the intended goal of the senders: regime change. Instead, sanctions have only made the lives of North Koreans harder. As the Obama administration unveils its blacklist and plans to further tighten the noose around the North Korean regime, North Korea will fall increasingly under China's influence. … [A] recent Forbes op-ed by Shaun Rein, the founder of the China Market Research Group, read, "More sanctions and increased naval exercises in the region won't help everyday North Koreans, and they won't make the Korean peninsula safer. In reality, they will only continue to empower Kim Jong-Il's regime while further impoverishing everyday North Koreans…The best way to create a stable and secure North Korea is to do the opposite of what we are doing now. We should lift our economic sanctions and invest more money in the country." ********** http://tinyurl.com/allzmw7Reply |

Not an iota's chance of trying to compare US hunger to NK hunger.

I'm not bothering to source the following; have reached the "Take it or leave it stage." ********** • A higher % of American children are living in poverty today than back in 1975. • More than one out of every five of our children CURRENTLY LIVE IN POVERTY. • According to U.S. Census data, 57% of ALL American children live in a home considered either "poor" or "low income" ********** These kids must just "raise themselves up by their bootstraps", like our ancestors did. Strike out for those wide open lands and claim some for yourselves. Or get a job. I hear they're hiring in China.Reply |
Chronic adult homelessness, as opposed to folks who have suffer a temporary losses, is often due to criminal records. If, for example, you are an 18-year-old who has sex with a 14-year-old, I'm pretty sure you spend your life marked as a sex offender. If you get too drunk or experience a psychosis and get arrested, you might even become a felon. So, while poverty is an issue in the USA, we might want to look at expungement laws, and consider the way various events give people life long criminal records.Reply |

Cookie, I've seen nothing of that. Curious. I'll have to keep eyes peeled, but I suspect that this is an invention. But I suspected the flu concussion was an invention. Hildabeast is . . . . i dont know . . . i'm getting dizzzzzzzzyyy . . .Reply |
Not to draw any conclusions that would make anyone on the left uncomfortable, but what I am gathering from this is that we have spent roughly the equivilant of our national debt on the war on poverty and we have the same or worse poverty than all the nations that haven't spent any? That causes me another question, have any of those other countries had the same expansion of government that we have enjoyed here or is that just a coincidence too? One might be led to believe that the money spent on the war on poverty has gone to expand government cause it sure hasn't done anything for the poor. Thanks to dumocrat logic we are frantically persuing the strategy of throwing even more good money after bad. All of this would be so much easier for me if I had attended school after they invented the "new math".Reply |
Generally the word "war" conjures up the military, with good reason. In terms of human life and resources, all wars are, to say the least, "expensive". At the same time, however, they are HUGELY PROFITABLE. Though making differing judgments, each of us is able to name at least some of the beneficiaries. But there is another kind of war, the social wars -- also declared by politicians. These wars as well are hugely profitable. How they happen to be declared and whether they do any actual good is for you to decide. One thing we do know, however, is that once declared, these wars are never "won". A few: • War on Crime (J Edgar Hoover) • War on Poverty (Johnson) • War on Homelessness • War on Drugs (Reagan) • War on Gangs (Bush) • War on Terror (Bush) • War on Human Trafficking (Trafficking Protocol, 12/25/2003) • War on Cancer (Nixon) • War on Obesity (Obama)Reply |
The war on prosperity (obama). The war on the private sector (obama). The war on the 2nd amendment (obama). The war on religious freedom (obama). The war on coal (obama). The war on energy independence (obama). The war on small business (obama). The war on the middle class (obama). The war on the Constitution (obama).Reply |
Cookie, you are so officious when you describe the various wars, all of which have no meaning.Reply |
officious = spot onReply |
excuse me. i should have used a word from the university trained/brainwashed/intellectual/snob/pedantic croud . . . . officious = perspicaciousReply |
crowd?Reply |
Phil, close but how about officious: Assertive of authority knowing about all the Tea/Republican faux wars in an annoyingly domineering way.Reply |
Phil, Cookie being perspicacious? Cookie, really?Reply |
Priceless... http://www.usnews.com/cartoons/barack-obama-cartoonsReply |
Not to be officious, cookie65, but you give Obama far too much credit. To name but two, the wars on prosperity and the Constitution DEFINITELY preceded Obama. He has merely refined them. Learn to think outside the blinkered party box! And to the supporting cast, OFFICIOUS definitely ≠ PERSPICACIOUS. Don't use big words you don't know the meaning of.Reply |
James, some pitches are made for denting cars in the parking lot.Reply |
Speaking of cartoons . . . HERE (scroll down)Reply |
Evelyn, I don't disagree but never before have we had a commander-in-chief with the explicit intent of doing so. With no shame whatsoever.Reply |
BRODNER'S CARTOON DU JOUR: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE W. BUSH - What to give Mr. Bush on his birthday: Two wars; a depression; huge deficits; unregulated industry; wiretapping and torture; a reactionary Supreme Court; a sullied national reputation and Constitution. These are his gifts to us: the gifts that keep on giving. HEREReply |
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." ~ George SantayanaReply |
James, I get paid for my discernment. So you could say it is a marketable skill. Lots of people seek me out for it.Reply |
evelyn, IF A = B AND B = C THEN A = C Don't use mathematical concepts beyond your understanding. i.e. N. Korea = U.S.Reply |
You're stuck in a time warp. Get out of Dodge while you can!Reply |
. . . HOWEVER: About that "N. Korea = U.S." thing, go back and read (with your glasses on) the article title. In the meantime, I'll drink to your health.Reply |
. . . and THEN, if reading the title hasn't given you a headache or caused temporary blindness, try reading the article itself. I'll bet you $s to donuts you never got that far. But I may be wrong. In which case, I'll apologize in advance, but not after demanding that you cease being OFFICIOUS!!!Reply |
James, I am well aware that to the left and obama prosperity, the private sector, the 2nd amendment, religious freedom, coal, energy independence, small business, the middle class and the Constitution have no meaning. That is what we are up against and is the point I was making. I will use more one syllable words for you in the future if that will help.Reply |
Cookie, Evelyn INSISTS I apologize to you for calling you perspicacious. I'm sorry. BTW – Good luck with James. He's so unperspicacious.Reply |
I'm sorry Cookie65. Though your comment was for James this is a public forum and I feel compelled to respond to your above. Personally I feel insulted by your generalization. As political lines are drawn I'd have to be characterized as the "left". It is a reckless mischaracterization to say that I don't care about the Constitution, prosperity, the 2nd Amendment, small business or the middle class. Being continuously stuck in and amplifying the US/THEM dichotomy is a trap set for us. We are not required to voluntarily walk into it. And continuously unthinkingly and deliberately using that ploy hardens the lines, stifling meaningful communication and aborting problem solving.Reply |

Sometimes you shouldn't raise your hand. Be insulted all you want. "It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry." -Thomas Paine.Reply |

Phil, James is #4 from the movie Multiplicity.Reply |
. . . and we are to believe that YOU, Cookie65, own "the truth". Or the right owns the "the truth". Or the Tea Party owns "the truth". Or wherever it is you find your own personal identification owns "the truth". Just too bad about us lesser mortals who should feel privileged to walk in your shadow, never to emerge into "the light". PERSPICACIOUS is not the word I'd use for this. Oh, I forgot, you get PAID for your "discernment". But never fear, we'll keep stumbling along, even though we haven't a hope in Hades of ever arriving. Thanks for taking the time to attempt to enlighten us. Now I think I'll go over to Huffington Post to see what you've learned today. I can at least attempt to keep up. Oh . . . and about that "corn planting" . . .Reply |
The left doesn't "stumble along", they are "led" to their conclusions. Or do you believe it is just coincedence that they all reach identical opinions on vertually every subject? Just like a school of fish.Reply |
Some people around the net aren't nearly and generous as I am when it comes to obama and his minions. Here is an example. "When he looks out over this once great land he see´s, cultivates and caters to the largest group of dumbed-down, barely aware, dope-smoking, self-absorbed, media-influenced, celebrity-obsessed, Food-Stamp wielding, Escalade driving, Kool-Aid drinking, entitlement rich, government-dependent, busted-ass, free-loading, low information, Obamaphone zombies and ignorant, gullible, White guilt-ridden, Volvo-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, bottled-water-drinking, Politically Correct, Xanax-disabled, Valium-dependent, mindless, spineless liberal lemmings that´s ever existed!"Reply |
Cookie, quote from James Carvville,---"Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology. The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That's why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd. Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don't have a clue as to political reality. What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want. The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans. Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to." This says it all.Reply |
Dee, Carville is married to Republican Mary Matalin. I couldn't imagine being married to someone of opposite beliefs. The democratic sheepel don't realize what's happening to them and the country.Reply |
DB Smith, Matalin and Carville certainly DO make an odd couple. Dee, thanks for the really funny quote! Apparently it debuted in October 2012, having been falsely posted by an unknown user to a quotations website called thinkexist.com. Perhaps you could give us the news article, speech, interview transcript, or printed source documenting this statement purportedly from James Carville. His office maintains he never said it. But then, as you know, "truth is relative".Reply |
Sacramento has now topped the list for the worst city for small business in the entire nation. Democratic rule and their poor decisions are ruining this state! Did you hear about that two faced global warming Democratic VP Al Gore prick and his latest business deal? Busy day so I gotta git er going....Reply |
Having begun the day with a good laugh, for old time's sake, an offering of George W's best. HERE. And they're actually all sourced.Reply |
Want some good Tea Party quotes? HERE. My personal favorite is #2, Christine O'Donnell. ********** My ONLY point is that using quotations -- real OR fake -- to smear entire groups of people is a poor substitute for honest exchange.Reply |
I've just discovered a source of funny quotes on just about anything you can think of, including "Funny Bible Quotes": Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to an alien living in any of your towns and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner... ~ Deuteronomy 14:21 (I have not checked to see if this really is from Deuteronomy. Feel free to do so and report back. I claim no responsibility, 'cause I found it on the internet.)Reply |
How very odd. The same website that deals primarily in Biblical quotes – Catholic, healing, Christian, love, friendship, God, Brotherly Love, friends, forgiveness (to name but a few) – ALSO has John Kerry quotes. What is THAT all about? I'll bet I could start a website and then one day people would be authoritatively quoting me! (Got my work cut out for me now.)Reply |
Cookie, just like a school of fish, following the bogus Tea/Republican/Republican/Think Tank talking points. Rigid bogus talking points from the top to the bottom, followed religiously without question.Reply |
Cookie, so food stamp recipients drive Escalades? And I bet they drive them to Ruths Chris to spend their food stamps on filet and fine wine. Isn't this a rehash of Reagan's false reference to the welfare queen driving a Cadillac? But, anyway, thanks for updating the talking point. Ruths does have good steaks, but I was disappointed when we went there for Thanksgiving -- turkey cut from the bird? No, cut from a turkey roll -- I was shocked and appalled.Reply |

Editorial Review – The professional stylists at Stilo Salon strive for supreme customer service as well as providing their technical skills and creativity.
I love this salon! – Hey everyone!
Ok, this salon just rocks my world. Not only are they super nice and friendly, but they get the job done right. I've gone to so many it seems "hack job" places where they soak you down and chop your hair and send you out the door...This place is so kick back. They are very inviting, they give you a relaxing shampoo with a good head rub, they do color extremely well , and the cost really isnt too bad considering you walk out feeling like a million bucks! My highlights look fabulous! THANK YOU!
Priscilla Rocks! – Based on past reviews I decided to check out Stilo salon. I was growing my hair out and I needed it to be gently cut and styled. Priscilla did an amazing job! I have gone back to her for highlights, cuts, and she even helped me go from brunette to blonde. I have always been happy with her work and I have never felt pressure to buy any products.
Love this place!
Convenient, cute place – This salon is sophisticated, convenient location. They carry great hair products such as, Bumble and Bumble. Great value for your money.
WOW!! – All I can say is wow. I went to Stilo in San Mateo and had the best cut and color I have ever had. The stylist (Marni) knew her stuff and was really nice too! I didn't have to wait at all, was treated like a queen, and walked away feeling and looking great. It was so nice to have a young, experienced stylist really take her time with me. She talked indepth with me about what I wanted/what would look the best and gave me a great style. I was impressed to learn that she is going to be attending a hair styling class in LA to refine her skills. The prices were lower than any other good salon I have been to. I highly recommend Marni at Stilo Salon. I can't wait to go back!!
Greatest Hair Salon EVER!!! – I've been going to Stilo Salon for almost a year and the first time I went there I saw Jeryl. She did my hair for a wedding I attended and she did a fabulous job! I've been going there since and I even went there this past weekend to do my roots. If you want a great haircut or color job, request Jeryl, she is the best. I will be going to this salon for the rest of my life!
Chris is a beautiful & precise – I went to Stilo Salon for the first time and Chris, my stylist, looks like a model. She was really nice as well and did a great cut and color. She trimmed my hair and put very subtle highlights. Just the way I wanted them. Good luck Chris. You do great work!
Greatest Haircut I've had in a looong time! – I went to Michelle at Stilo Salon today for a haircut and she did and excellent job. She had a long consultation with me and was very thourough in what kind of cut I wanted and asked I how much time I spend on my hair each day so she can make just the right style for me. Her cut was exactly what I wanted, as if she read my mind with a great blow dry. Michelle and her assistant were both proffessional and friendly at the same time. I highly recommend this salon for a great haircut with Michelle!
The best hair cut ever – Stilo was recommended to me by a friend and I can say without hesitation that this was the very best cut that I've ever had and I'm not easy to please. If you're looking for a top tier stylist look no further than Megan, she will listen to what you want, make suggestions and you'll get the best cut you've ever had and you won't have to take out a home equity loan to pay for it, which is surprising because I have paid substantially more for other cuts that I was not nearly as satisified with. Great place you will not be disappointed.
AWESOME – I visited the other [new] location of stilo salon in san mateo in the bay meadows shopping center. WOW i must say they did an awsome job. i saw a women named jeryl who did a fabulous beverly hills DIVA hair cut on me. and the next week i got a blowdry with a woman named Luna wow, she worked wonders! i love love love this salon... so professional, and the owner and managers are very accomodating! and its next to left bank french restuarant!!! and the best part, the woman tried to sell me the shampoo... i wasnt pressuered but she said they will guarentee anything and take anything back. so i bought the kerastase shampoo and i LOVE it. im am so happy.

My favorite parenting book
Pros: Balanced (no "this is the right/only way"), examples use diverse families, gentle/respectful approach to parenting, bulleted suggestions made easy rea
Cons: Their "toileting" section doesn't include any mention of elimination communication
This is my favorite parenting book for helping new parents (me!) learn how to parent! It gives background about why your child is acting a certain way (developmentally), and gives concrete suggestions of ways to deal with each behavior. It's a book with a broad scope that touches on many issues, but managed to go into enough detail for me to get an idea of how I wanted to deal with many of the difficult behaviors that my daughter comes up with (hitting, crying, whining, lying, etc). It's very well written and organized--making it a great read and also a great reference (I plowed through it easily while I was nursing my daughter, but I refer to it on a regular basis when behaviors come up). I also liked the fact that all of the example stories in the book came from real families and showed a great deal of diversity in terms of race, parents' genders, single parents, economic standing, etc. Great book!
