The state Oil Conservation Commission was set to resume deliberations Thursday on a request by the industry to revamp the state's so-called pit rule. However, commissioners decided to allow for more testimony.
The commission plans to take the new testimony in early January. Deliberations will resume after that.
The commission has already heard hours of testimony on the proposed regulatory changes.
The regulations in question govern how producers handle drilling mud and other waste in pits, buried tanks, sumps and closed-loop systems.
The industry and some state lawmakers contend existing regulations have pushed producers from the state, costing New Mexico jobs and revenue. Environmentalists argue relaxing the rules could lead to soil and water contamination.

History of CARE
History of CARE
Our origins
CARE was founded in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. Thousands of Americans, including President Harry S. Truman, contributed to the effort. On May 11, 1946, the first 20,000 packages reached the battered port of Le Havre, France.
These early packages were U.S. Army surplus "10-in-1" food parcels intended to provide one meal for 10 soldiers during the planned invasion of Japan. We obtained them at the end of the war and began a service that let Americans send the packages to friends and families in Europe, where millions were in danger of starvation. Ten dollars bought a CARE Package and guaranteed that its addressee would receive it within four months.
When the "10-in-1" parcels ran out, we began assembling our own food packages, greatly assisted by donations from American companies. At first, senders had to designate a specific person as the recipient, but soon CARE was flooded with donations to send CARE Packages to "a hungry occupant of a thatched cottage," "a school teacher in Germany," and so on.
What was in the first CARE Packages?
- 1 pound of beef in broth
- 1 pound of steak and kidneys
- 8 ounces of liver loaf
- 8 ounces of corned beef
- 12 ounces of luncheon loaf (like Spam®)
- 8 ounces of bacon
- 2 pounds of margarine
- 1 pound of lard
- 1 pound of fruit preserves
- 1 pound of honey
- 1 pound of raisins
- 1 pound of chocolate
- 2 pounds of sugar
- 8 ounces of egg powder
- 2 pounds of whole-milk powder
- 2 pounds of coffee
Later packages included carpentry tools, blankets, clothes, books, school supplies and medicine – and we expanded delivery to other regions in need including Asia and Latin America.
CARE Package phased out
Decades ago, we largely phased out the CARE Package as we expanded the breadth of our work to focus on long-term projects in addition to emergency relief. However, the CARE Package remained a powerful symbol of the compassion and generosity of those who support CARE's vision of a world free of poverty and suffering.
CARE today
Today, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

A South African nursery school teacher taking her students on a trip to a burger joint ended up in hot water when cops saw how she was transporting them: all 19 in her tiny Renault Clio. According to the U.K. Sun, Melanie Minnie was pulled over with six kids in the trunk, "at least three" on the front seat, and the remaining 10 jammed in the back seat, packed so tight their heads were pressed against the rear window glass.
The 19 kids were the second batch of students she'd ferried to the eatery. In the first trip, she squeezed 12 kids into her vehicle. The first dozen waited there while she went back to the school to get the rest.
She was fined around 200 bucks for the incident.

"To compete here is unbelievable," said Jeff Erb as he received his trophy. "To come in on top is amazing."
Second place winner Tom Ferguson and Chicago BBQ Company have attended the rib cook-off since the very beginning 23 years ago.
"I can't believe all of the ribs we feed you people on the West Coast," Ferguson said. He also announced that he plans to donate a portion of his winnings to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
In all, 24 barbecue teams and hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the country converged on Sparks and John Ascuaga's Nugget for the Labor Day weekend event that is widely considered to be the biggest, most prestigious rib-cooking festival in the United States.
The top five winners were:
- First place, Back Forty Texas Barbecue, Pleasant Hill, CA., $7,500;
- Second place, Chicago BBQ Co., Burr Ridge, IL., $3,000;
- Third place, Bone Daddy's., Midland, MI., $2,000;
- Fourth Place, Kinder's Custom Meats, Concord, CA,$1,000; and
- Fifth Place, Porky N Beans BBQ, Port St. Lucie, FL , $500.
The People's Choice Award went to Bone Daddy's BBQ, of Midland, MI, for the second year in a row. The award for Best Sauce, also worth $500, went to newcomer Uncle Bub's of Westport, IL.
Nugget officials estimate that more than 500,000 people attended the cook-off and more than 100 tons of ribs were served.
Sierra Meats, the rib distributor for the event, reports that 239,000 pounds of ribs were sold, up from 212,000 in 2010. An official attendance and economic impact report will be released in a few weeks.

Serves 12 to 16
This take on the classic Mexican tres leches cake is generously topped with tequila-spiked whipped cream and sweet, juicy summer berries.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch Pyrex baking dish or a nonreactive metal pan. Line the bottom of the baking dish or pan with parchment and lightly butter the parchment.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
Separate the eggs, putting the whites in a medium bowl and the yolks in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar on medium speed until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and beat until combined, 1 minute more.
Clean and dry the beaters and then beat the egg whites, gradually increasing the speed to high, until they reach soft peaks, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a stream, continuing to beat on high, until you reach firm but not dry peaks, 1 to 2 minutes more. Whisk a third of the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in a third of the egg whites with a rubber spatula. Fold in the remaining dry ingredients and egg whites, alternately, in two more batches each, until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish or pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment, and let cool completely.
Return the cake to the baking dish or pan (the cake will soak up more of the liquid if returned to the pan it was baked in), or invert it onto a rimmed platter.
In a 2-quart saucepan, stir together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and salt until the condensed milk is well blended. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring to avoid scorching, until it begins to bubble around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a heatproof 4-cup measuring cup.
With a toothpick, prick the cake to the bottom in 1/2-inch intervals. Pour the soaking liquid slowly over the cake, starting at the edges and pausing to let it soak in before adding more. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cake is well chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed. When it begins to thicken, slowly add the gin or tequila, sugar and vanilla and continue to beat just until it holds firm peaks, 3 to 4 minutes (be careful not to over-beat). Spread the whipped cream all over the top of the cake. In a medium bowl, toss the raspberries, strawberries, and lemon or lime zest. Spoon the berries over the whipped cream and serve.
You can soak the cake in the milk mixture up to a day ahead and top it up to 2 hours ahead.

5/6/2013Made this cake for our family Easter celebration. Did not add any alcohol (because of the kiddies) but definetely will try it with maybe amaretto! This was amazingly delicious and I must say that making it 24 hours ahead and letting it sit for that long in the fridge was the best tip ever, cake soaked up the liquid portion real well! East step by step instructions! Although instead of taking it assembled to our gathering, I left the 3 items, cake part, whipped cream and strawberries separate and had everyone put as much whip cream and straberries as they desired. Also made the cake not becoming too soggy from the berries. So left overs can be put in fridge and eaten next day! Really good recipe! Will definitely be making it again! ;-)
by chaillu,
6/19/2012This is the first time I've written a review, but boy is this the best summer cake ever. I did the strawberry/raspberry and added Grand Marnier to the whipped cream. Yum!
by brettttttt,
5/31/2012This is ABSOLUTELY delicious. I've made it for a small group and for a crowd at a party. It has been a winner every single time. I started making with both berries, but because strawberries are in season as I write this, I'm only using strawberries right now.
The alcohol is take it or leave it in the whip cream. It adds a very light flavor to the whip cream, but is DEFINITELY not necessary.
by helassal,
5/27/2012Delicious! A hit in my family. I just used fresh strawberries, though. It was simply great. Thanks a lot.
by Daisy900,
5/20/2012Best recipe ever! Made it without the alcohol...just used fresh strawberries and it was wonderful!!!
by senoritaperla,
5/17/2012This is amazing!!! Tasted like a strawberry shortcake crossed with tres leches cake (duh). I did add a mix of tequila and UV cake vodka to the whipped cream. Definitely a hit and will be made again and again :D

please please please tell me if lisa has title or ever had a title. i heard some remark on the reunion about being a princess.
Boating was a fun day. I was definitely warming to Brandi, realizing that like me she had an appetite for fun and didn't take herself too seriously. Even when I pulled the strings on her non-existent bikini, rendering her almost completely naked, she did not bat an eye. Haha. Me thinks, she's a likely recruit for my mischief!
That night, dinner was fractious. There was no possible chance of ignoring the cavalier attitude of Ken and Kim, and, as you witnessed, they left early, frustrated by Kyle's persistence and expectance of an apology, which was never going to happen. Some may think Brandi is too blatant with her remarks. In my opinion when one enters this domain we hold ourselves up for scrutiny. That is the nature of this beast. If you have something to hide, my recommendation when you're asked to sign up for a reality show would be to run for the hills. Our business became your business, when we made the decision to enter in to your living room and share our lives with you.
In regard to other episodes and many of your comments -- many, many of you question my judgment as to how I could have ignored so many telltale signs as to who my real friends were. Just try to remember that all the footage you see as we proceed with the story are things I am viewing at the same time as you. We are not aware of things that run in the same episode. If somebody is disloyal or talks behind your back you don't have a clue. Until now. . .
So I must sign off, as this blog is in danger of becoming a novel! I leave you, our loyal viewer to continue following our exhausting journey and look forward to your remarks that keep us in touch with. . .reality
Love always Lisa
please please please tell me if lisa has title or ever had a title. i heard some remark on the reunion about being a princess.
Lisa, Sur looks absolutely stunning. Congratulations on another success! I felt badly for you when Cedric showed up at the opening... What a cheesy guy. It's obvious that he desires what you have, and his own share of the spotlight. You are such a wonderful, beautiful mix of mischief and grace and sassy class. How fun it is to get a peek into your life. By the way, my little dog Emma, has a serious crush on Giggy and would like to know where he gets his cool little outfits!!
Lisa, I think you are a wonderfull smart lady with alot of wisdom, I wish you were my friend.I need people like you in my life. I married a english man and he died 8 yrs laiter his mom and dad were great to me. He was my every thing in a way my and richards relationship reminds me of yours and kens . god bless my question is why do you let brandi get away with what she dose, I would of bitched slaped her long ago..pardon the expression , she is not even up to the ladys you have in the group.I find her to be sluty ,filthy mouth,no manners and i really think shes up to something.with cedric the user. please you and all the ladys be carefull with both of them.where did you get giggy from.i would like a female just like him..take care,marian
I know it was a surprise to see Cedric. He wanted to get another shot of being on the show. You handled it well. You are one of my favorites. Very classy and you know, you have, what they call, boodielishous behind with those jeans on.
Lis, you kill me! Your little bum caught in that wedge! All I kept thinking was PULEEZE, don't ruin those great summery pants! Love the wardrobe, but must be honest girl, someone lied to you about the SUR opening dress...not a fan. Kind of very Disney costumey...not you at all. Other than that you rock girl!
Sonnet for Lisa: Lisa dreams for Pandy a wedding of English countryside's so dear, with some magic on your BV tennis court, it's all quite very near! Merry ole England will miss you, & your beautiful shin-dig, yet, they can see it on the tele, as the best man is the "Gig!" An old English folk song we'll dance to, aft' the vows have been said, dapperJason & his bonny Pandora, on the dance floor she'll be lead. Yes, your dream wedding will come true, just look into the wishing well, There'll be no fighting from the housewives, come high water or bloody hell! Best wishes, love meli xx
Awh Lisa,
You make me giggle every time I see the show. I cant handle watching Kim though. I have never seen such a hot mess in my life. Except for a horrible roomate I once had! They create thier own drama every day!
Lisa What canI say,I just LOVE YOU. So much class and a deliight to watch. You deserve all the things and people in your life.Keep up the great work .And I would love to meet you.Even I know that will never happen.I really look up to you.But PLEASE be carefull o0f Kyle She is in no way your true friend.Hang out with Brandi you two crack me up Best wishes to you and your husband Arlene
I was very disappointed that your friends (some of them) greeted Cedric and allowed him to kiss them. In my mind, that is the same as Kim behaving so bdly. You were there for Kyle, she should NOT have allowed Cedric to come near her. If it had been me, I would have said "I am not interested in your being here, either. Please leave as my friend Lisa requested. " You also did the right thing by Brandi. She too should have shown more loyalty.
Love you, Lisa!
Lisa, you are my favorite housewife i think you are amazing person you give ladies around the world alot to look up to my daughter and i watch the episodes together and its our special time we cant wait for the wedding my daughter has cerberal palsy and is 18 and wanted to know how she can get a piture of you autograph by you. I just wanted to make my opinion know I think it was awful of cederic to show up at your opening how rude and im so sorry you and family had to deal with that at all after all you done for him i wish all the best from one house wife to another ann griffith house wife from fort wayne IN
Lisa you hit the nail on the head when you told Kyle to let it go. As a matter of fact if Kyle wants to truly help Kim get better she needs to quit enabling her bad behavior all the time by trying to control it or run interference for her. I mean truly a codependent-addict relationship in my eyes. I love Kyle's strength, but in this case she's not making her sister take responsibility for her own actions and how those actions lead to consequences... both the ugly and the good.
A tiara! at Pandora's wedding!!??? Silk dresses and jewels for your on-camera commentary? And I get your signature sheath's with the puffy sleeves, but the jewels are a little too.... too ...... much. You ladies in Beverly HIlls are over the top. I think it takes lots of chic to wear a simpler, more subtle style. Your fashion choices are just too much and too funny for me!
A tiara??? . . . .
Lisa and Kile, you guys were so funny breaking in Kim's room. But besides that, what matter the most is your friendship and how charismatic you are. Lisa, congratulations on the debut of SUR. It is a gorgeous place ! Your good taste and finesse show all over. Now is time to prepare for Pandora's wedding. Hope Ken and Kile hold you well while your daughter walks the aisle. I cannot wait every Monday to arrive just to watch you guys !!!!
In the south we do not air our dirty laundry in public. When you are invited to a beautiful party You act like a lady.
Love watching you Lisa, could you tell Taylor to put a sock in it. I'm sure you could say it in a charming way, but the fake crying and drama is getting so old....enough already.
You and Kyle are my favorite housewives and the two of you are the perfect foils for each other.....the perfect mix of fun and serious. You always make so much sense and do it in such an amusing way. I loved watching your breaking and entering!! I'm still on the fence about Brandi but I understand how you would warm to her.
Lisa - Tonight is the newest episode and I have to tell you - you are absolutely the highlight. I love you ribbing Brandi and your sense of humor is boundless. Good luck with your opening of Sur tonight. You, Ken & Giggy are my favorites. I too have become fond of how Brandi is portrayed on the show, she seems very down to earth and someone that you could really have some fun with. Bravo needs to keep you around for a very long time - I'm tired of the Kim drama. Its akin to trying to figure out a puzzle with missing pieces, it just doesn't fit. Hopefully she has gotten the help tha she needs but she has looked awful all season.
Looking foward to how Cedric is going to show up tonight. Love u lots, Lisa
Lisa I just wanted to let you know what a class act I think you are. You are such a well spoken, professional woman and a wonderful role model. And the best thing is that you seem totally relatable and down to earth regradless of financial status. Thank you for bringing some much needed class to the "Housewives" series.
Why was Bernie (Adrienne's cook) included in the opening of SUR? That was very strange. You should have had a bouncer to keep the riff raff out (including moocher Cedric)...
Love you and Brani together. I hope you two can establish a friendship. Kyle isn't your friend. Kyle is Kyles friend. She and her husband are starting to really bug me...wish they would go away.
Hi Lisa, You so remind me of my mom, minus the beautiful hair, great figure, expensive clothes, accent and mansion. She has the same humor you do and it glues our family together so that every family function is meanful and fun. That just goes to show everyone that personality trumps everything else. Viewers LOVE you, and every neighbor, friend and family member LOVES my mom. I have enjoyed getting to know the TV personalities of each of you. I love Adrienne, except for the Vegas drama. She's all spunk. Adore Camille...she's handling everything, I think the best anyone can. Kyle has her moments, but love her giving spirit, especially to her immediate family. Brandy is all fun!!!!! She can take a joke and she handled her earlier issues with the girls in the best way possible, just keep showing up and being herself!!! Dana hasn't warmed herself up to you ladies yet, but she really does have a sincere way about her. I just don't think she's fully comfortable around you all yet. Thank goodness Kim has gotten some help. I think underneath the haze, there is a gentle soul waiting to escape....wishing her all the best!!!
i totally luv luv luv you! you and brandi will make great friends. and it nice to see you so level headed and in touch with reality! you gave the best advice to kyle, she needs to move on from her sister and accept her for who she is. wishing you all the best! keep it real sweets!! xoxoxoxo
You need a clothing line!!! Your clothes are unique and above and beyond anything I've ever seen anywhere!! Love, love, love!!!
Aloha Lisa, Ken & Giggy! Love you all! You and Adrienne and Paul are the reasons I watch RHOBH. Your comments are hilarious and makes me LOL. Keep it up (especially Ken, haha) and keep it fun. Taylor, Brandi, Dana & Kim are not worth your time! As others have said before, I wish you would have a show of your own w/Adrienne & Paul - oh what a world that would be : )
Lisa I really enjoyed seeing you try to fit into a tight spot. It was hilarious, probably would have been even funnier if hadn't been for the reason you were there in the first place. I felt bad that you and Kyle felt you had an obligation to Taylor. I really think she thought you guys would cut short your vacation to be with her. It would not surprise me in the least that she had every intention of you doing so. After all she didn't get go. I think Taylor's true colors will show if they haven't done already. Loved the Hawaiian shirt on you cute little dog!!!
Lisa, I love your calm affect, and logical sense of events unfolding. Thank heaven for you and Adrienne, the voices of reason.
Love you Lisa, class act, nuff said...
Why didn't you tell Kyle to go without Kim? Why was everyone else kept waiting for Kim and the creep? All of those scenes were hard to watch.
Loyalty is so important. That's why it would be nice to have nurtured Russell Armstrong as a friend. It seems he was very sweet and loyal.
I would keep my antenna up around Brandi - I find her clothing choices and behavior around men to be rather disrespectul - just saying you and Ken dont need sh** stirrers
You are a true, loyal friend; plus, have a great sense of humor! Shame on Brandi, you're are a beautiful, attractive woman
Lisa, I just want to say I love you and how you say it is. I love that you tried not to like Brandi but then judge her yourself and gave her a chance. And love the banter between you two. I love the way you dress all the time. But can you please tell where or who made your hat that you wore in Hawaii . I just love it and have been looking for something like that and can't find it anywhere. If you could please tell I would be so grateful. I also think you should start a fashion blog because you are so stylish. Look forward to the rest of the season and hopefully getting an email about your hat. Cheers, Cindy
As always you make me laugh & you are just gorgeous to look at! I hope you continue to develop a friendship with Brandi - together you are great! Brandi even took up for you (diplomatically) against Camille & deedee - she has a good heart.
Lisa, my husband sees me watching your show, and he rolls his eyes, he hates it! But when he sees you, and hears you, he stops and watches! Haha. He lived in London making films a few times, and had some British girlfriends, and it probably takes him back to his youth. You are clever, funny, witty, and seem more intelligent than the other ladies... I hope you and Brandi will come back next season and get into some fun situations. I also like Adrienne and Camille. Cheers!
Thank you for the laughs, enjoy you and Ken.
Hi Lisa, You are my favorite housewife! You're classy and funny and gorgeous. I'm glad that you and Brandi have become friends. I'm looking forward to watching you two together! Darci in Santa Barbara
Just have to say how much me and my friends enjoy watching the show, and for all of us, you are our #1 favprite! You are a treasure trove of wit, humor, kindness and beauty. What's not to love?
Am I the only one who is curious about the current status of your relationship with Kyle? My opinion of Kyle has certainly changed this season but my opinion of Lisa has only improved. I wish I knew her personally as she seems like a fantastic mother and friend.
Lisa, I'm glad you and the others are giving Brandi a chance after such a rocky start. I'm also glad to see you and Kyle becoming close again. Please be careful where Taylor's concerned - you have a big heart and like to open yourself up to waifs and strays, but they wind up taking advantage of you.
Lisa, you seem to be such a class act, however your behavior with Kyle makes you look like a petty school girl. Please, stop, it is terribly unbecoming.
DAhhhling! You are absolutely fabulous!! This show would be oh so boring without you!!!
Hello Lisa, I did like the way you treated Ken when he tried to congratulate you at SUR, (the video before the opening) not very attractive behavior.
Lisa you have the most fabulous hair!!! :) I love it...You are one of my favs because you are real and dont take anyones bullsh*t!!! :) Hats off to you....
Lisa, you are the business! I have never been crushed out on a girl and not one to gush about someone on tv (don't believe most people on tv, reality or not, show their true selves) but I just adore you!
Love you Lisa. You are such a great spirit. Ho hum with Kim and Taylor already. They really need to leave the show. Talk about boring. We just saw the first 15 minutes of next weeks show with the opening of SUR. Loved it. But Lisa...why couldn't you just give Ken a great big smooch and then be on your way. The way that the scene came off was not flattering to you. It looked like you just can't be bothered with Ken. SOMETHING has kept you together for all this time. Let's see just a smidgen.
My favorite scene was the one of you and Kyle on the balcony, what wonderful mischief, that was a hoot!!!
Lisa Watching you on the show is like a breath of fresh air. You are welcoming, have a great zest and attitude for life. Seeing you prepare for Pandora's wedding shows how grand a lady you are with alot of fun in the middle. I look forward to seeing you each week.
Lisa you are one of a kind.
Re: Kim Her main problem is JEALOUSY which led to her substance abuse problems. She is envious of others & can't let go of the past. Nobody remembers her & she can't seem to get on with her life. Pity
I think Kyle and Taylor both need to have their hormones checked. I have never in my life seen woman cry like those two emotional estrogen bombs do !! For the love of Pete ! Why was she bawling at her husbands birthday ? Oh that's right her addict sister was rude and class less again.
If Kim misses the boat, the plane, the train or any other form of transportation that is Kim's dumb ass missing out. She didn't want to be there and I am sure Kyle guilted her into it. So pay the price. Rule number one : Don't expect anything from an addict Best indicator of future behavior is past behavior.
Anyway good for you Lisa for befriending Brandi. She's appears to be honest. Anyway that is my two cents. Air kiss air kiss. Sherri. Hahaha.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman has confirmed that Ronny Paulino is Seattle-bound, adding that he'll join the Mariners on a minor league contract. When I wrote about Paulino the other day I made the incorrect assumption that he was being brought in on a Major League deal as the primary backup to Jesus Montero. With this news, let's quickly revisit.
For now Montero remains the only catcher on the 40-man roster, but he'll be joined in big league camp this spring by Paulino as well as minor league veteran/non-prospect Jesus Sucre and top prospects Mike Zunino and John Hicks. Paulino is the most qualified to back up Montero, but GM Jack Zduriencik mentioned recently that more catching depth is on the way.
There are a few catchers still remaining in the big league free agent pool, though none offer significantly more than Paulino.
Kelly Shoppach, 33 this season, hits for power, particularly against left-handed pitching, but does little else. He strikes out a ton, walks at a pedestrian rate, and is known as a very poor defender. Familiarity could be a factor, however, as manager Eric Wedge had him in Cleveland between 2006 and 2009. Shoppach played with the Red Sox and Mets last season.
Chris Snyder, 31, didn't find success with the bat as the Astros backup last season, but he offers some power and a better plate approach than Shoppach. The former Diamondback starter is known as an adequate defender for a backup, though a major back injury in his past is cause for concern.
Matt Treanor, 37, doesn't hit but has always found work due to a defensive reputation built heavily on the intangible stuff. This past season with the Dodgers Treanor took his offensive ineptitude to a new level, hitting just .175 on the year and going two full months without a hit. There's some thought that the Mariners would go out and get a defense-first catcher to pair with Montero, and Treanor could be considered that guy.
Brian Schneider, 36, hits left-handed and was known as a great defender once upon a time, but his time spent on the disabled list with ankle and hamstring issues last season is troublesome. Barajas, 37, still has some pop but doesn't have much else going for him on the stat sheet. Miguel Olivo's still out there...
And that's it.
The position isn't one of impact and these players don't do a lot to differentiate themselves, so the Mariners' decision might come down to who they think will work the best with the pitching staff and provide a positive influence for Montero and Zunino. It would be hard to get excited or upset with any of these guys, though I'm partial to Snyder as long as he's healthy.
There are alternatives, of course. Another backup type could come through on the trade market or waiver wire (think George Kottaras), or perhaps Zduriencik intends for Paulino to make the team and will only be adding another AAA journeyman. Or maybe Zduriencik has something bigger in the works.
We'll find out soon enough. Spring Training is right around the corner.
Mariners to Sign Paulino, Commit to Montero?

I was pleased to discover that my friends house in Moncton was right near downtown and only a block away from the Pump House, my one planned stop for beer in the short time I was in New Brunswick. We walked down late Friday night and found the place only about 1/4 full, with hockey playing on the big screen and loud but not overbearing music playing. I remember the service being exceptionally quick and extremely friendly. The waitress was quick to notice an empty glass and even quicker to get your refill of the Pump House brew. The place is situated near downtown and seemed old but clean, with a typical laid back, Canadian maritime atmosphere. Definitely no rowdiness here. The clientele were quiet but seemed to be having a good time. The Pump House is very large: as you walk in, the main dining room and the brewing equipment is to your left, while in back is another section entirely, with a pool table near the washrooms. Along the wall at the back is a massive collection of beer bottles, showing the obvious interest of the owners in trying different beers. I really liked the whole atmosphere of the place. The food, while I only tried one platter with my friends, was tasty and big in portion. The menu has a lot of selections, with typical fare including burgers and pizza and some seafood entrees. As for what really matters: the beer. There seemed to be about 10 taps, serving all their regular beers and two seasonals: a hefeweizen and a rye ale. Both were extremely well-done. The other beers were tasty too, although I could not try all of them. Good prices too. The Pump House is everything a brewpub should be, and a place I would go to all the time if I lived in Moncton.

A nice place to go after a game or to spend a sunny summer afternoon.
The Pump House offers a fair number of their own brews to suit most casual beer drinkers tastes, but if you are a serious BA, then you will find it limiting.
I give the place credit for bringing forward the beer culture in this city. It is helping the area make strides.
The food at the Pump House is basic pub fare. There is nothing that jumps out as spectacular on the menu, but the food is decent.
Service is good, and the staff are friendly.
I found the prices reasonable, and overall I would say I will visit again.

Warm August day, we are enjoying a semi-shaded, trellised picnic benches. Inside, there is a high unfinished ceiling with cut up barrels for booths. The brewery is toward the back and completely exposed to the patrons (no glass). It's dark inside but convivial.
The fare is typical bar offerings. They're tasty but not spectacular. Pizza, though, is made in a wood burning stove. I also thought the wings were good. The beer, alas, was run-of-the-mill. Not bad, but not exceptional either.
Service was efficient and pleasant. French is spoken by 75% of the city but you won't notice as English is more than a second language here.

Outside of distribution, I am baffled why the Pumphouse is not mentioned when people talk about great northeast breweries. After having a couple of their beers while camping in Fundy, we decided to drive an hour north to their place in Moncton. It was well worth it. Pumphouse is on a side street off Moncton's main drag. The atmosphere is very open for restaurant seating, although it has a small bar. There is plenty of additional outside seating. The restaurant is filled with people of all ages and walks of life, although on a Friday night, perhaps a bit on the young side. The waitress was prompt and never let a glass go empty. The food was amazing. We split some nachos. Then I ordered barbeque salmon with a side salad. The salmon was mouthwatering. The real reason to go to Pumphouse is the beer. This brewery tends to take ordinary styles and make them amazing. Their red and Scotch ales are prime examples of this. Of the eight beers I had over our trip, there were only two that I was not blown away by. That to me is a winning ratio. This is one of my new favorite breweries. I will certainly look for them whenever I am in Canada. Amazing beer, amazing people—just go.

dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon on our way around the bay from the Nova Scotia coast to Fundy National Park
big dining room and bar area with a few booths and a pool table in the back, a few other groups were eating/drinking but the place was pretty quiet, the interior was quite dark and kinda dreary on a cloudy, rainy day - though people generally seemed to be enjoying themselves, unfortunately the nice deck area was out of the question given the weather, kind of a traditional pub vibe, lots of wood, beer schwag on the walls, and some sort of firehouse theme mildly represented
there were maybe 8 standard drafts and some sort of fruited seasonal on at the time, the scotch ale tasted messy or oxidized to me at the time, but the IPA was pretty good - and one of the more bitter examples I've come across, a few of the house beers are also sold in bottles to go, standard pint servings $5.25 with other sizes available
service was quick and helpful - the server warned my ladyfriend that the IPA was extremely bitter, indeed it was and as a result I was able to exchange my scotch for her IPA, samples were provided without asking
went with the beer steamed mussels, definitely quite tasty if a little heavy on the salt and fat, not the choicest mussels but that's most likely a seasonal thing

Stopped by in early June to the Orange Lane location. We just had a couple of beers, and sat at the picnic tables outside, which was great for the nice weather. I was shocked at how large it is inside, and the atmosphere seemed really nice in there.
Obviously a large selection of Pump House beers on tap; definitely the best way to sample their wares, as many of them aren't available in bottles yet. Speaking of that, you can also go inside their store there and buy 6-packs for no more expensive than what the liquor stores charge, which is great. Menu looked good, so I'd like to go back there sometime for the food as well.

I visited the Brewpub on 131 Mill Street (not the one listed on 5 Orange St). Called the Barnyard Restaurant
Overall impression - This is a great little Brew Pub that I visited on my way across Canada and I will definitely be back. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The beer was well balanced and very sessionable.
Atmosphere -This place goes out of the way to create a "firehouse garage" atmosphere. The windows are the top halves of garage doors. Fire hydrants are everywhere. The bathrooms are walled with corrugated aluminum.
Quality - The beers are very good. The two I had (blueberry and the red) were both light in body and very well balanced. I hope to come back and try their others because these two were both great beers that were easy to drink.
Service - The service was excellent and very friendly. Our waitress was right on top of keeping our drinks filled and getting out food.
Selection - They had six on tap when I went - an ESB, red, light lager, pale ale, stout and blueberry.
Food - Their focus is on their bison burgers and BBQ but they have most of the standard brewpub options. I ordered the Cajun Salmon ($9.50 CAN) with a salad and got the cookies and cream cake ($4.95 CAN) for desert. The salmon was outstanding - still moist and very well seasoned. The salad had nice dark greens. The cake was also tasty. I came here to try out the beer, but I would come back for the food. The menu give also gives beer pairing of Pump House brews for each entree.
Value - The food is very well priced (since most restaurants like to charge $15+ for any salmon dish). The beer was a little expensive ($4.95), although it was also 16 oz.

Based upon 2 visits to this place I would have to say that it is fairly solid. Nine brews on tap ranging from the pedestrian to pretty solid. I see they are trying some new things according to their website, would certainly get me to stop in for another visit when in the area.
This place caters a bit to almost everyone. A somewhat typical brewpub with good pub style food by day and then a nightclub some nights. Last time there we were entertained by a rockin blues trio while enjoying our beers.
Service has ranged from typical to accomadating, like the time we got to meet the brewer and were shown around a bit and enjoyed some free samples.
A nice place located on a side street just off the main hustle and bustle of the downtown area. Decent brews, good food and a pleasant atmosphere...a quality stop if in Moncton or driving by on the Trans-Canadian.

Myself, my wife and my 85 year old grandmother all enjoyed our trip to the Pump House Brewery for dinner. The inside is rustic, with beer themed decor and hundreds of different bottles lining the shelves. The only turn off from the atmosphere was that it was quite loud. No complaints as far as quality goes, I really enjoyed the Muddy River Stout, and my wife loves the Blueberry Ale. The selection of beers wasn't too exciting, mostly because I had sample the bottled Pump House beers before, and there weren't too many others, but there was enough to choose from. Food was good, a bit better than the average pub for the special touches they add. Service was prompt and friendly. I'd be happy to visit again.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.

This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Geologist Keith Miller examines the "Cambrian Explosion", a period of rapid evolutionary diversification approximately 575 million years ago, and whether it poses a challenge to evolutionary theory.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Canada, our neighbor to the north, is farther down the "accommodations" road. A glance north can shed light on whether prayer spaces and ritual washing facilities are likely to satisfy activists for long.
Last month, the Canadian Federation of Students issued a report, titled "Final Report of the Task Force on Needs of Muslim Students," that calls for sweeping changes at the country's institutions of higher education. The federation represents more than 500,000 students across Canada, about half of the nation's total. While the report focuses on Ontario, its conclusions are applicable across the country and internationally, said Jesse Greener, the Federation's Ontario chairperson.
Some recommended changes could affect all students. For example, the report criticizes Canada's loan-based system of financing higher education and calls for outright grants to students. "Education related government loans should not accumulate interest," it says, since Islam "opposes usury and involvement with interest-bearing loans." Other changes would be more focused. The report endorses "women-only" time at athletic facilities, and urges colleges to "provide curtains or screens over the observation windows" when women are using the pool.
The report calls not just for Muslim-only prayer space but for "multiple prayer spaces" with "easy access" from all over campus. All new building plans should include prayer space and ritual washing facilities if necessary, it adds.
Food service workers must learn to prepare halal food, which is ritually slaughtered and otherwise permissible under Sharia law. After preparing non-halal food, staff must "change sanitary gloves and wash cutlery and surfaces" to avoid contaminating halal food.
What if a campus fails to make these changes, and others like them? It is guilty, says the report, of "Islamophobia" -- an "emerging form of racism," according to the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
Islamophobia includes more than clearly inappropriate behavior such as violence against Muslims or unreasonable suspicion of them. It can be as "subtle" as a remark that includes a "stereotype" or betrays the speaker's "lack of understanding" of Islam (such as the notion that Sharia law treats women as second class citizens). Just "one comment" of this kind can create a "poisoned" learning environment for Muslim students, the report says.
"Islamophobic" comments will soon land Canadians in serious trouble, if the federation has its way. The report outlines a comprehensive system "to encourage and facilitate a culture of reporting Islamophobia on campus. Anti-discrimination officers should be notified whenever such a comment is made, it says.
But the report makes clear that systems like this will not eradicate Islamophobia from Canadian campuses. To remove stereotypes, faculty, staff, students and administrators must all learn "the tenets of Islam," it said. "Education modules" for professors should incorporate a focus on "Islam and Islamophobia," while student activities could range from more courses on themes of the Qur'an and the Islamic world today to "socials, programs and other initiatives" to teach about Islam. Everyone on campus should learn to recognize his or her "collective responsibility to identify and stop Islamophobia."
Throughout this process, however, Islam must not be taught from a "Western perspective." This qualifies as Islamophobia, because it "misrepresents Islam." At the same time, the report says, some Muslim students have called for integrating "Islamic perspectives" in disciplines such as marketing, nursing and finance," since Islam's view of these differs from those of the West.
The Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada is heavily involved in the Canadian Federation of Students' new report and lobbying. Its president is a member of the task force, and has been a spokesman for its recommendations. The association is the organization that Minneapolis Community and Technical College has looked to for guidance on the ritual washing issue.
Its main goal, it says, is "Dawah": spreading Islam.
The Kansas City International Airport has added several foot-washing basins in restrooms to accommodate a growing number of Muslim taxicab drivers who requested the facilities to prepare for daily Islamic prayer, WND has learned.
The move concerns airport police who worry about Middle Eastern men loitering inside the building. After 9/11, the airport beefed up its police force to help prevent terrorist attacks.
"Why are we constructing places of worship for them inside our airports?" said an airport official who requested anonymity. "Why are we catering to their rituals? We don't do it for any other religion."
Other major airports also are dealing with increased demands from Muslim cabdrivers.
"The Detroit chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union isn't getting involved, arguing the foot baths are secular since non-Muslims could use them, said spokeswoman Rana Elmir."
CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 33 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada
A popular comic strip that poked fun at the Rev. Jerry Falwell without incident one week ago was deemed too controversial to run over the weekend because this time it took a humorous swipe at Muslim fundamentalists.
The Washington Post and several other newspapers around the country did not run Sunday's installment of Berkeley Breathed's "Opus," in which the spiritual fad-seeking character Lola Granola appears in a headscarf and explains to her boyfriend, Steve, why she wants to become a radical Islamist….
…Sources told FOXNews.com that the strips were shown to Muslim staffers at The Washington Post to gauge their reaction, and they responded "emotionally" to the depiction of a woman dressed in traditional Muslim garb and espousing conservative Islamic views.
Amid the mountain of evidence released in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial, the most provocative has turned out to be a handful of previously classified evidence detailing Islamist extremists' ambitious plans for a U.S. takeover.
A knot of terrorism researchers say the memos and audiotapes, many translated from Arabic and containing detailed strategies by the international Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood, are proof that extremists have long sought to replace the Constitution with Shariah, or Islamic law.
But some academics and Muslim leaders say that the ideals contained in the documents were written by disgruntled foreign dissidents representing a tiny radical fringe. The documents also pre-date the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and the 80-year-old Muslim Brotherhood is now either inactive or largely underground in America.
Okay, Muslim foot-baths in Kansas City airport, gender-segregated swimming sessions at French municipal pools, banning pork from Aussie hospital menus, no eating donuts for Belgian cops during Ramadan, no seeing-eye dogs or alcohol in Minneapolis taxi cabs, fine, fine, fine. Must be sensitive and all that.
But this is an amazing victory. In Vancouver, infidels can't smoke but Muslims can:
Vancouver's hookah-parlour owners are celebrating after winning an exemption Thursday from a proposed new bylaw that will ban smoking on most sidewalks in commercial districts, in bus shelters and even in taxis passing through Vancouver.
In giving the bylaw unanimous approval-in-principle, Vancouver city council members bowed to arguments that hookah lounges provide an important cultural space for the city's Muslims and granted them a temporary exemption...
[Emad Yacoub] said hookah lounges are essential for immigrants from hookah-smoking cultures, because it helps them deal with the depression common for newcomers and gives them places like they have at home.
Where do the rest of us go to deal with depression? As Jay Currie asks, "What about my culture?"
By creating a special exemption for Muslims - who do seem to be the only immigrant group actively demanding these sorts of "cultural accommodations" we are basically declaring our Muslim citizens worthy of special treatment and, at the same time, unworthy of the health concerns which are purported to be the basis of general smoking bans.
The state, in other words, is prepared to treat Muslims as free-born adults who can weigh the "cultural value" (ie, the pleasures) of smoking against the health risks. But not the rest of us.

Carmelo Anthony, Paul Pierce address Boston Marathon bombing before Game 1
Carmelo Anthony and Paul Pierce offered brief messages concerning the Boston Marathon bombing attacks prior to Game 1 of a first-round Eastern Conference playoff series between the Knicks and Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
"On behalf of the New York Knicks organization, we just want to let Boston know that we send our prayers to them throughout this unfortunate tragedy," Anthony said. "We, as New Yorkers, understand what you guys are going through, so once again we want to send our prayers out and our condolences to the city of Boston and the people of Boston as well."
Pierce — wearing a shirt that read "Boston Stands As One" — then expressed gratitude for the support.
"The Boston Celtics, the city of Boston would like to thank you for your support, and all the support from people around the country throughout this tragic event," he said. "Boston will rise and run again, thank you."
The Celtics, who canceled a Tuesday night game against the Pacers following the attacks this week, wore a black stripe on their jersey during a Wednesday night game against the Raptors.
On Saturday, the Celtics wore a "Boston Stands As One" jersey patch on the right shoulder of their jerseys and sported yellow shooting shirts with the same message.
The Boston Fire Department Color Guard and the FDNY ceremonial unit presented the colors at the game.
CNN.com reports that one of the two suspects in the attack was killed in an exchange with police officers early Friday morning and the other was captured alive Friday night.

I just got an iBook G4 from my brother-in-law and it made me realize how much I missed OS X. I want to make my desktop a Hackintosh using my spare 250GB HD. What is the best release to use for my hardware?
- AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
- ECS GF8200A Motherboard (NVIDIA GeForce8200 Series/NVIDIA MCP78S Single Chipset)
- IDT 92HD206 Audio
- Realtek RTL8111 LAN
- Sapphire Radeon HD5770
- ATI TV Wonder 600 PCIe (doesn't have to work)
- USB Keyboard/Mouse
I'd like Lion since I will probably end up using it at work in the near future (have to write some mobile apps for iOS at some point) but Snow Leopard would be fine too.
I've tried to boot iATKOS v7 Leopard and I can't get past the Apple screen (grey).

How Pussy Riot are fighting to change a repressive nation
Virgin Mary Mother of God
Drive Putin Away
Drive Putin Away
With these words Russian feminist punksters Pussy Riot challenged the very heart of Russian power, and are now paying the price.
They famously performed in Moscow's holiest cathedral in February, in a direct attack on the Russian Orthodox Church's open support for President Putin in the last election. The video clip of their performance went global, but what gave them international notoriety was what happened next.
President Putin hit back, and the three Pussy Riot members were arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for "hooliganism", in a case viewed by many as purely political.
Last month in Russia, reporting for SBS's Dateline program, I met with Violetta Volkova who was, until yesterday, one of the girls' main lawyers. She told me they've admitted to what they called an ethical error, but say they committed no crime.
I joined Violetta as she went to see the girls in a grim remand centre on the edge of Moscow. Unless there is a breakthrough in their appeal soon they're due to be shifted to prison in what is called here a 'penal colony' on the edge Russia, where they fear their safety could be in danger.
Violetta told me that the girls could apply for presidential clemency, but they prefer captivity to losing their self-respect.
Pussy Riot has certainly grabbed international headlines, but there are other opposition activists facing similar pressure who we haven't heard about, part of Russia's growing wave of discontent against the President.
Authorities were hoping the jailing of Pussy Riot would send a message to Putin's vocal opponents: step out of line and you will be punished. But, undeterred by their fate, many protesters spoke to me about their calls for change, and the persecution they've suffered as a result.
Last winter protesters against Putin took to the streets with marches. Sergei Fomchenkov, a key organiser of the communist Other Russia party told me that while they can march (with permission), the government refuses to allow the party to register so they're excluded from any real political role. He said party activists are constantly harassed by the state, and alleges his wife has been targeted because of his activities.
Last month, Sergei's wife, Taisiya, was sentenced to eight years in jail on charges of drug dealing after police allegedly found heroin during a search of her home. She claims the drugs were planted because she refused to give evidence against her husband. The sentence was double what prosecutors had demanded.
Taisiya suffers from acute diabetes and given her condition, her lawyers and her husband fear her eight year sentence is paramount to the death penalty. They believe the case is a glaring example of state persecution, and that political motives - her husband's activities - were the real reason she was charged.
Ilya Yashin is one a new generation of Russians fighting what they see as a return to authoritarian repression. A leading activist in the liberal democratic movement Solidarnost, he's already spent weeks in prison and faces more criminal charges. He told me that he just wanted to live in a normal, free country, but each year the screws of the political regime get tighter, and the more people become unhappy with the regime, the harsher its reaction gets.
"Putin is not an idiot. We have fresh historical examples before our eyes where regimes have fallen like houses of cards in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, the current civil war in Syria. Putin knows all too well that this apparent monolith of power can break into tiny shards like a piece of china," he told me.
But the state's heavy-handed response to Pussy Riot's punk performances has achieved more than the girls could ever have dreamt: galvanizing the opposition movement, with a mixture of political protest and artistic expression.
In a dilapidated Moscow building, I met a young artist planning a controversial exhibition, inspired by the band's treatment. The gallery owner is going to put the works on show, knowing that he risks angering those in power.
"Yes, because in today's Russia artists society have to take some civil position and they have to speak out do they want to go back to the times when we were told what length of skirts to wear, what length of hair, what songs are good, what songs are bad, what books you should read. I think artists society should take a position," he said.
Pussy Riot's actions have already prompted many to think about today's Russia and despite an increasingly harsh crackdown, it seems the protesters refuse to be silenced.

Their incarceration is completely justified. Don't want to be jailed like a criminal? Don't behave like one.
Adam R says:
There are many different ways in which you can protest. This has got to be the most insulting way to go about it. It would be like going to the wailing wall and peeing on it to make a point. Or graffiting the Wall of remembrance in the Australian War memorial.
What they did is wrong. I don't condone what Putin has done, but there are a million other ways you can protest. They took a root that will give Putin some legitimacy in putting those laws in. I don't think most people outside Russia see it but almost half do.
What do you expect when you go on private property and desecrate a holy place?
Freedom of speech allows you to speak your mind and not be punished, it doesn't and shouldn't allow for you to do the kind of things Pussy Riot have been doing.
maria says:
Pussy Riot challenged the very heart of Russian power, and are now paying the price.
Do you know any australians who will challenge the very heart of our politocracy or the poltical party absolute power similar to the russian one (the mafiacracy)?????
Once we have voted , we are irrelevant in every decisions.
Can you spot the difference because I can't.
Nick says:
ALAN Jones must apologise on air for a racist rant where he called Sydney's Lebanese Muslims "vermin" who "infest our shores" and "rape" and "pillage" our nation, having failed in an appeal.
Have we learnt anything from Pauline Hanson, we can't touch the establisment and we can't say what we think about the establisment.
If You believe in democracy and want freedom to be the heart and soul of our system than fight for it and direct democracy is the only answer to protect it.
Democracy means power to the people without any preferences as it is under our phoney system.
Chris says:
You liberals and revolutionaries who want to see Pussy Riot released should go to Russia and agitate for change. You might even decide you want to stay in Russia. The Russians love being told what to do, especially by smug westerners, and have a long history of tolerating dissent.
Of course, you can't just cherry-pick the trendy and famous cases. If you do go and agitate on behalf of a pop group, you also have to do it for all political prisoners in Russia, China and (insert name of your favourite repressive dictatorship). And when you get back from your World Tour to End Injustice Everywhere, you can start on world hunger. A Facebook page and a few twitterers should do it.
Dave C says:
Its not what they did but where they did it. I agree Putin needs to be stopped he has put controls on power (except his own) for everyone and anyone who opposes him seems to have something nasty happen to them.
But his mob managed to score an own goal in the fight against Putin.
You see after the Bolsheviks took power they banned the church and many religious leaders (amongst many others) were killed, Churches were vandalised trashed or destroyed.
Now those who are church members now remember this and when they see this group vandalising and trashing a church it only brings back memories of Stalinist totalitarian rule, of course Putin then saw this outrage by members of the church to punish the group.
Its ironic isnt it, the Group were trying to highlight totalitarian rule of Putin by committing an act which reminds everyone of another type of totalitarian rule. which only lead to the enforcement of the rule they were trying to highlight in the first place.
Michael R says:
Don't bet on Russia becoming a liberal nirvana anytime soon. Putin can see the West, and he can see China. Guess which model he likes best? The China model has usurped the West in the eyes of many countries who look at the declining West and see a failed ideology. Alas, we can't blame Putin for thinking this way, given the rapid decline of Western economies and culture. Until the West regains a sense of pride and economic/military strength we won't be a beacon of hope to the world anymore. Darkness is coming unless we lift our game and once again lead by example. The West is on the path to economic, demographic and cultural suicide. Wake up, dreamers, we have work to do.

if you've spent any time at all on the internet the past week, chances are you heard about sabu of lulzsec allegedly pulling a sammy "the bull" gravano (v2) on his shipmates. to what extent the allegations are true against him i cannot say with certainty, but i do think a lot of how the story is being reported in general has a ridiculous subtext. the pictures of him plastered all over the internet and on the news are seriously the most ridiculous pictures of a human being (aside from a crunk lindsay lohan) i have ever seen. doesn't sabu have a senior yearbook photo that he dressed nicely for? holding a soccer ball? leaning on a tree? even child molesters get the decency of a jail-produced mugshot to go along with their 5 o'clock news story.
if i am wrong, correct me, but i don't think i have ever seen a news agency find the most unflattering duckface selfshot picture of a murder suspect and run the shit 24/7 as a constant punchline. it has gotten to the point where gizmodo .au ran a story today discussing
sabu being a bad neighbor, detailing sabu's late night karaoke rap sessions (which we've all done, let's be real) and erratic sleeping habits. this is hard hitting investigative reporting here, folks.

i may indeed be the first rapper in history to endorse a suspected internet snitch. evidence is somewhat overwhelming for it to be simply a disinformation campaign, but, personally, i believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. i will discuss some of my thoughts on www.ytcracker.com.i sadly will probably retire this song in its current form from my live performances just because i can't in good conscience rap about this until the grieving period has passed and this song becomes vintage and cute again.kind of like jokes about the spanish inquisition being funny now but they weren't very funny in the years circa 1478-1834 (yes, i did wikipedia this).we now return to your regularly scheduled video information.
