Ha. And is the opposition less bad than Dr Assad? Would a limited warrant do any good? (Wouldn't even wag the dog, IMO.) Would an unlimited warrant have any chance of being worth its price? No to intervention, unless perhaps one aiming at a bill-of-rights government that makes peace with Israel.
Prob. is we sent Barney Fife to serve to serve the warrant!
If Obama wants to make the case for Syria he should get some old news clips of Bush and Cheney on WMD's in Iraq, dub over the word "Iraq" with "Syria" and the approval to attack will be clear sailing through Congress. It's not the message, but the messenger.
Wake up people! Everyone knows where this is going.....a final showdown....Christianity vs. Islam. Step by step we are moving in that direction and America will be the great general leading the Christian charge. We will show them no mercy and no quarter. Praise be to Jesus, the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords! Amen and amen.
American Presidents usually don't get tried for war crimes and clearly Obama is in a hurry to commit one. After Syria comes Iran if our economic decline doesn't stop us first.
It is hard to believe anything this administration is telling us on Syria when they intentionally lied to all of us saying the attack in Benghazi was because of a YouTube video.
The Ditherer in Chief's ineptitude has certainly reduced the Lefties posts here.
Another reason some Hollywood progressives have been reticent to speak out against war in Syria, according to Asner, is fear of being called racist. "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama," he said.
Again, the irony is sweet. Socialist Ed Asner is afraid of the very climate he and the left created. Oh, how very sweet

Boy, the bloodthirsty "christians" are really getting hopped up aren't they? Guess they have pictures of Jesus in helmet, camos and boots carrying an assault rifle on the wall. Somehow not feelin' the "love" he wasted his time talking about.

"Bloomberg: Top Democratic candidate for NYC mayor running 'racist' campaign".
I find it very amusing that we now have in New York a liberal using the race card against another liberal. Liberals think that anyone that disagrees with them is a racist. Well, France, Germany, Great Britain, The U.N., Russia, China and almost every country in the world disagrees with obama's plan to attack Syria so by the liberal standards all these countries and the U.N. must be racist.
This is what happens when you stir up war fever
(AP) Foreigner detained as spy in Egypt found dead
CAIRO - A Foreigner once detained by Egyptian authorities on suspicion of being a spy has been found dead.
Mahmoud Hassib, the head of Egypt's southern protected areas, said Saturday that local residents found the dead foreigner on an island in the Nile, south of the ancient city of Aswan.
In August, a local resident found the foreigner in Egypt's Qena governorate, some 450 kilometers (280 miles) southeast of Cairo. Both he and police were suspicious of the electronic device found on the foreigner. Authorities later let the foreigner go.
However, controversy trails the foreigner into death. An Egyptian organization claimed on its Facebook page the foreigner was "eaten by local villagers." Hassib denied that the foreigner had been eaten, though he didn't know an exact cause of death.
OMG ... Cannibalism !!
Obama gives speech, Tuesday night 9/10, cruise missiles fly at 12:01 AM Wednesday morning, 9/11! A peeeeeeeeeeerfect use of our tax dollars. Pay back for Benghazi and an American might smack down on another Islamic terrorist dictator. And the rockets red glare gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.......nice tune don't ya think?
Hey Lefties: One of y'alls sayings back at you. bang the drum slowly
if obama wants to prove that Syria used WMDs then all he has to do is get the old clinton administration to gather the information to justify the attack on Syria. President Bush relied on information from the clinton administration to justify the attack on Iraq and we witnessed how well that worked.
Jonesboy......Bush and our troops kicked ass in Iraq. It was a "W" and you are a pussy if you don't think so. Let the cruise missiles fly on 9/11 Yo!
4 toons about Syria, guess Clay beat that topic to death.
would not bet on it, Lady Gage.
Hey Joepulitzer, your article is being a bit dishonest. 2012 was the record low, but 2013, while slightly higher than 2012, is still within the trend. David Rose has a reputation for such misleading work.
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2013/07/arctic-misrepresentations/
I was being sarcastic. All the foolish liberals blamed President Bush for lying when he was actually using clintons information on WMDs in Iraq to justify the Iraq invasion, but the idiot liberals made up the lie that President Bush lied about WMDs to cover for clinton's intelligence failure pertaining to the WMDs in Iraq.
So, joneses, the Iraq war was Clinton's fault? Too funny. Yellow cake? Aluminum tubes? Mobile labs?
The Clinton policy with the no fly zone and international sanctions was working very well. Oh, and a international inspection team concluded that Saddam had NO WMD's.
Lame attempt at revisionism.
It's a long way from "From the New York Times: The rise in the surface temperature of earth has been markedly slower over the last 15 years than in the 20 years before that. And that lull in warming has occurred even as greenhouse gases have accumulated in the atmosphere at a record pace." (NYTimes) to "it's a hoax" (Roanoke Tea Party). A slow down in warming is actually explainable. But of course, if you have already made up your mind, you wouldn't be interested in learning more. It takes a lot of time and effort.
It helps if you start with science sites rather than political sites too.
Then why did clinton, billary, kerry, gore, kennedy and other notable dummycrats say hussein, that is sadam not obama, had WMDs? Pathetic attempt to regurgitate a lie you have been brian washed into repeating over and over.
To all the citizens of this country, Republicans, Democrats and Independents: Our President just told Congress to ignore you. You are nothing but an inconvenient nuisance to him.
Al Nusra Front Rebels Shouting "Allahu Akbar" Start Killing Syrian Christians After Retaking Village From Government Forces Some of Sec. Heinz' "moderate rebels?"
Assad about 59,000 civilians shy of number Saddam murdered. Course the Left didn't want to lay a glove on him. Guess it depends on whether the President has an R or a D after his name.
Oh, I forgot that science is you tree-hugging, God hating liberals' bible. Sorry about that, ike. So, go ahead, explain it. I've got all night.
A terrifying picture you paint today Clay. One doesn't really want to venture into the apartment for fear of seeing a group of like-minded, equally evil group of human detritus, sitting on the couch, drunk and bloody; toasting the devil himself – The Texas Mafia.
Maybe your perception of Obama's feelings to YOU is as nothing but an inconvenient nuisance. And you're probably right in your case. But truth be known, when he sees so many like you, he doesn't consider you a nuisance, just tards and tools. As did Dick and his boy George.
And yes, Bush lied - over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over.
And hundreds of thousands died.
So Limmer, how many will have to die due to BHO's slip of the tongue re red lines?
I love the smell of American cruise missles being fired on Radical Islamic nut jobs on a 9/11 morning....it smells like................VICTORY! And Limric you should see someone about that stuttering problem. Our current President is one of the biggest fraud liars of all time and a welfare pimp to boot.
Obama will launch the rockets on 9/11. Did Alprova die? Does hell have a new resident?
"So Limmer, how many will have to die due to BHO's slip of the tongue re red lines?"
How about none.
We will soon know what those elected to represent us and our views think of our intelligence. People seem to have a perception those in congress and the administration are all very smart people, the fact is they are not. Age and citizenship are the only qualifying criteria. Combine that with a lot of money, contacts and backing by the DNC or RNC and you can get a seat in congress.
22 current and former US military service personnel commit suicide every day! We can assume that psychological and physical trauma are eating away at tens of thousands more every day and that as many as 700,000 vets can't get access to VA medical care.
We are a war weary nation that has accomplished nothing positive after twelve years of attacking weak countries and yet we persist.
There are no moral grounds for our behavior and yet we persist.
The economic costs of these wars are staggering and yet we persist.
Could Osama bin Laden have pushed us into the death of a nation...our own?
Learn for yourself, joepulitzer, starting with what science is and is not. You look foolish using political sites (left or right) to learn your science.

Wow!! Whenever the chips are down, or you are partisan to the nth degree, just make up some wild crap off the top of your head.
The intelligence that was used to convince Congress to vote to invade Iraq was gathered by the Bush Administration.
The accusations of current (then) weapons of mass destruction came straight from Bush and Cheney's lips.
You didn't see Bill Clinton waging a campaign to invade Iraq before he left office.
No Sir. That was all GWB.

Nope Al BUT he did send about a billion $$$ worth of cruise missiles to bomb an abandoned goat farm in Afghanistan!!
Maybe that's what Obama has in mind for Syria!!
Al, you may want to read these comments from members of the Clinton Adminsitration on Iraq and WMD's
rick, thank you for the correction. I truly did not remember Clinton ever threatening Iraq, but that does not change the fact that the intelligence presented to Congress in 2003 was based on "current" information.
There is no denying that Saddam Hussein had used chemical weapons on his own people. He had.
However, any weapons that once existed were no longer within the borders of Iraq by the time we invaded that nation.
And for the record, I have no problem with what was done, with the exception of the high number of casualties that were involved.
Saddam needed to go. I just feel it could have been handled by a sniper team, rather than a full fledged military invasion.
Assad needs to go as well, but I do not want a repeat of Iraq.
Tuesday night Barry speech, Wednesday morning 9/11, A cruise missle cocktail sent special delivery to the camel jockeys......here come the 70 Virgins boys. Well, Alprova did wake up. I hope you attended the church of your choice on Sunday I did.
Dem Vols and my alma mater Vandy looked good. Y'all have a profitable week $$$$$$$$$$$$ I will. Oh yea, the Titans beat the Steelers!
Al, posted "However, any weapons that once existed were no longer within the borders of Iraq by the time we invaded that nation."
Al, you may find this report interesting.
From the LA Times article title" The White House didn't lie about Iraq. No matter what the Dems say, the evidence against Bush simply isn't there.
In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committee unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it "did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments." The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found "no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction."
ALPO said "Wow!! Whenever the chips are down, or you are partisan to the nth degree, just make up some wild crap off the top of your head." Now that's funny, coming from the biggest partisan hack on this site.
The village of Maaloula has been taken over by Syrian rebels associated with al Qaeda, who have stormed the Christian center and offered local Christians a choice: conversion or death. A resident of the town said the rebels shouted "Allahu Akhbar" as they moved through the village, and proceeded to assault Christian homes and churches. nice guys, these rebels. Makes one wonder who REALLY deployed the gas attack This is scumbag against scumbag, people. Let's stay out of it.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States is considering only an "unbelievably, small, limited" strike on Syria as punishment for allegedly using chemical weapons and he insisted military action will not end that country's civil war. Well, er, John, doesn't that beg the question "Why the hell do it"....These folks are nuts, folks.
Agreed, PT. The situation there is SO complicated. Our intervening can only make it worse.
Thanks, Lisa. The admn. posture on this is maddening to me.
Curious, PT: I have never posted my name here. How do you know it?
If I tell you, all will know...you tell me.
We know.
And more importantly God knows.

nope. The old profiles did not show names, either. Must be new with the paid access. Sloppy, in my opinion. No matter. Bring on the stalkers! Warning, though, this liberal is armed! :)

Matter of fact i checked several ,including my own and you got the only one like that!!
Lu, Ol' PT thinks highly of you. Even if you're usually wrong. :)
Oh, PT, I am NEVER wrong, honey. ;)
Jesse, it is entirely possible that the mistake was mine, although the site never asked me to make any changes. Curious, though. Can you send messages to other posters on their own profile the way we used to do?
NO, lu. Don't think so.
Well, at least that part of my profile is consistent with everyone else's. Oh, well. No more pretending I'm someone exotic and exciting, like Sandra Bullock. Now I'll just have to be boring old me.

PT: Yes! The Russians may actually get us out of this. Perhaps they should, since they are the primary source of weapons in Syria.
I may jesse, but it is too late for my privacy now. No matter; I don't think I've made too many enemies here. I yam what I yam.
PT in reference to your 10:59am post. Don't know if you seen where Sen. McShame is defending one of the Syrian rebels who was yelling Allahu Akbar.
McShame is a disgrace.
Good for the Roooski's Lu. Tho it's in my DNA to hate them.
McCain's family needs to be scouting out nursing homes right NOW!

The bromance between Heinz-Kerry and McCain appears to be over. But McCain still has Lindsey.
Go to your profile settings - edit profile, and then delete your name from the appropriate fields. "I yam what I yam" is all well and good 'Olive Oyl' but you need to do this. It only took me 5 minutes to learn more than I have right to about you, your family etc. Please do this as soon as possible.
I do however REALLY like 'Santa Catalina de Guale.'
No bow thruster (maybe I just didn't see it)on a craft of that size with a single screw?
A nice life you & Tim have. I'm highly envious. Which of course makes me a sinner. Damn!!
Susan Wright just pleaded that Assad is the culprit. OK, Susan, you got some real creds.
Thanks, limric! Though I am not too worried. I have removed everything, though I feel like I am closing the barn door after the horse, cow, cat, dog, sheep rats and fleas have all escaped!
Glad you like my Cat! She's a big girl and we love living on her. It's also nice to know where every pipe, wire, and strut is. And no bow thruster. Makes maneuvering a bit of a trick, but we tend to avoid most marinas and tight spaces, preferring to travel offshore.
Putin is playing friend, taking BHO by the arm & escorting him off battlefield. He seems to be throwing The Organizer a lifeline. BHO should grab it asap.
I think this is a win-win. Obama should go for it.
After all this all i can say is the next POTUS is gonna be in for a tough first term1

No problem jesse, they can blame Obama the way he has blamed Bush. The new normal,
Yeah Fairmon BUT w/Obama stumbling around the way he is Putin and whoever's in charge in China is gonna keep the pressure on!Gonna be in his face every time he looks up!!This is just the git go!

Just like the war on terror ended when Obama personal popped a pill in Osama's noggin.
John Kerry said that Assad could avoid air strikes by giving up all his chemical weapons within a week. Later the State Department said Kerry was making a rhetorical argument and this wasn't a serious offer and only Obama can create "Red Lines".
Russia quickly jumped on Kerry's misstatement and offered that they would work with the Syrians to have outside control of their chemical weapons and then destroy them. Of course they will take forever to work out the details even if they do so.
This ties Obama's hands as far as mounting a strike against Syria and the longer he delays the more political and citizen resistance to an attack will increase. Once again Obama and his "scumbags" have put on display their absolute incompetence.
Putin continues to take Obama's lunch money every day and leaves him eating crow (dog?).
Awaiting the spin that it was all part of an Obama plan. Count on it of it works.
Palin can see Putin laughing from her house.
PT, have you seen this one? Looks like RFK Jr doesn't think very highly of Al, Jesse and his former bother in law Andrew among others.
rick1. saw that. not very Kennedy-like, dissing those guys. His loose zipper, however, is very Kennedy-llike.

Type 2 Diabetes Rising Among U.S. AdolescentsPosted: Monday, May 22, 2006
Some 39,000 adolescents in the United States already have obesity-linked type 2 diabetes, and nearly 3 million more may have blood sugar levels that could spur diabetes and other health problems, researchers report.
Curbing obesity can help avert a public health crisis, experts say,
In the United States, about 18.2 million people have diabetes, including 210,000 under the age of 20. In addition, studies indicate that a blood glucose level higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes is common among overweight young people and can lead to diabetes.
"Among adolescents who have diabetes, the majority of cases are still type 1 diabetes," the inherited form of the disease, Duncan said. "However, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, a condition once seen only in adults, has increased over the past decade," he said
"Roughly 29 percent of all adolescents with diabetes now have type 2 diabetes, and the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose -- a risk factor or precursor to developing type 2 diabetes -- is substantial in this population," Duncan added.
In their study, the Seattle team turned to a national survey of the U.S. population to collect data on 4,370 teens. These adolescents were asked whether they had ever been told by a doctor that they had diabetes.
Among these teens, 0.5 percent had diabetes. In this group, about 71 percent had type 1 diabetes and 29 percent had type 2 diabetes. Duncan's team also tested glucose levels in nearly 1,500 adolescents who had not been diagnosed with diabetes. About 11 percent of these teens had impaired fasting glucose levels.
When these data were extrapolated to include the entire U.S. population, they indicate that 134,071 individuals age 12 to 19 years now have diabetes -- 39,005 with the type 2 form of the disease. Another 2,769,736 adolescents are estimated to have impaired fasting glucose levels.
The latter group is perhaps most worrisome, Duncan said. That's because "there is the potential for a large number of adolescents who currently have impaired fasting glucose to develop type 2 diabetes in early adulthood," he explained. "This is based on the high rate of conversion from impaired fasting glucose to type 2 diabetes seen in adults."
One expert believes a major public health effort is needed to stem the obesity epidemic in the United States and prevent the rise of a generation plagued by type 2 diabetes.
"The clearest evidence of the harms of epidemic obesity comes in the form of rising rates of diabetes in both adults and children," said Dr. David L. Katz, an associate professor of public health and director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine.
Diabetes has long been recognized as a predictor of cardiovascular disease in adults, and there is little reason to think this will be any different in children, Katz said. "The earlier people develop diabetes, the earlier they will develop its complications. And thus rising rates of diabetes -- particularly type 2 diabetes, known until recently as adult onset diabetes, are a dire concern for the health of our nation," he said.
Type 2 diabetes in children and adults is about dietary and activity patterns, and the effects these have on weight, Katz said. "These are factors we can control," he said. "The time has long since passed to question whether we should be taking steps to stem obesigenic factors in our society, and instead attend to how we should best do so."

Pablo urges Depor to make pressure count
Deportivo defender Manuel Pablo believes his side have to start turning their dominance of the ball into chances and goals if they are to escape the relegation zone this weekend.
The 37-year-old veteran scored only his third goal in a 14-year career with the Galicians in the 1-1 draw with Mallorca in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night and he is now looking for a first league win since the opening day of the season against the same opponents on Sunday.
He told Marca: ``It is not a final like some people would like to interpret it, but we are in need of the points and it is clear that if we don't win that need will be even greater.
``They want to plan a game like the one the other night to stop their run of defeats and we have to be calm because we are not going to finish the game in 10 minutes.
``At the moment we need to be more productive because I think we are dominating a lot but we don't create the chances from this domination.
``At least we have returned to being competitive in the last couple of matches and now we need to be more determined in the final third.''
Depor will once again be without the injured Abel Aguilar so Juan Dominguez will keep his place in the side, whilst Jose Luis Oltra must decide whether to retain Pablo at right-back or recall Laure who has played more regularly in the league of late.
Mallorca, meanwhile, continue to have their injury problems with Ximo Navarro becoming the latest player to be sidelined, joining Joao Victor, Jose Nunes, Antonio Lopez and Javi Marquez.
Ximo's absence is likely to mean a return to right-back for Emilio Nsue, whilst Tomas Pina is expected to come back into the side after being surprisingly dropped for the 5-0 defeat to Real Madrid last weekend.

The Leeds Green Wave advanced to the second round of the AHSAA state playoffs following a 61-27 victory over the Sipsey Valley Bears Friday.
Tre Nation had a career night as he had 337 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns. Nation had four runs of 30 yards or longer on the night. Leeds totaled 452 yards on the night.
Leeds, 10-1, now travels to Daphne Friday to take on Bayside Academy in second round action. Bayside, 7-4, defeated Dale County 50-10 last week. The two teams have met only once before, and that was two years ago in the state playoffs. Leeds won that game 49-7, and went on to win the Class 3A state title.
Leeds scored the first time they had the ball against the Bears. The key play in the drive was a 70-yard run by Nation to move the ball to the Bears' 10 yard line.
On the next play, quarterback Tadarryll Marshall found Courtney Rose for a touchdown pass. The PAT by Morgan Coston was blocked, and it was 6-0 with 6:46 remaining in the first quarter.
On the next series, Jacoby Lockhart intercepted a Sipsey Valley pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown. The PAT by Coston was good to make the score 13-0 with 3:49 remaining in the opening period.
The Bears had to punt the next time they had the ball, and it took Leeds only one play to add to its lead. Nation raced 34 yards for the score, and with Coston's extra point, the score was 20-0 after the first quarter of play.
The Bears finally got on the scoreboard three plays into the second quarter on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Garrett Lewis to Jamarius Leatherwood. The PAT by Kody Ewing was good, and with 11 minutes left in the second quarter, Leeds was up 20-7.
The Green Wave started the next possession at their own 45, and Nation took over. He had runs of 21, 15, 6, and the final 7 yards for the touchdown to make it 27-7.
The Bears were getting their offense in gear as they answered with a 56-yard touchdown pass from Lewis to Braytan Smith to make it 27-14 with 7:29 left before halftime.
Leeds struck quickly as they drove 53 yards in only three plays to add to its lead. The touchdown came on a 15-yard run by Jonathan Hagler. The Coston PAT made it 34-14.
Following a Sipsey Valley punt, Leeds marched 80 yards in six plays with Hagler scoring on yet another 15-yard run to make the halftime score 41-14.
Leeds continued its offensive onslaught in the second half as they marched 53 yards in eight plays to add to the lead. The touchdown came on a four-yard run by Ronald Woods to make it 48-14.
The Bears scored the first time they had the ball in the third quarter, driving 81 yards in eight plays. The touchdown came on a 10-yard run by Carson Windle to make it 48-21.
On the very next play from scrimmage, Nation scored on a 43-yard run to make it 55-21 with 3:59 remaining in the third quarter.
The Bears scored early in the fourth quarter on a 63-yard pass from Lewis to Smith to make it 55-27.
The last touchdown of the game came on a 13-yard run by Nation to make the final score 61-27.
Leeds head coach Keith Etheredge said he was pleased with how his team played offensively.
"Tre had an unbelievable game, and that is pretty good for a freshman," Etheredge said. "He gets better with each game. He soaks everything up and grinds out yardage. He is a north-south runner, and that's the kind of guys I like. Our offensive line and fullbacks did a great job blocking. Jabari Rogers also did a great job blocking downfield. It was just a total team effort."
Defensively, the Green Wave gave up some yards and some points. The 27 points is the most Leeds had given up in a single game all season. They had given up just 24 points the last five games of the regular season.
"Our defensive coaches had a great game plan," Etheredge said. "We missed a lot of tackles, but their quarterback had a lot to do with that.
Although Etheredge is pleased with the win, he is not happy about traveling five hours to Daphne to play Bayside Academy.
"We are doing all this traveling to play a three-seed," Etheredge said. "We worked hard all year and busted our butts to win the region to become a one-seed."
Etheredge said he believes Bayside Academy is a lot better team this year than in 2010 when they defeated them 49-7.
"They have Jonathan Walton, a 6-foot, 2-inch, 230-pound guy who plays tailback and linebacker," Etheredge said. "He is a load and a real good player. I understand he has received an offer from Penn State."

Who's Watching Soccer Today?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
I normally save my soccer/futbol/footie posts for things like the World Cup qualifying, weird goals and the Euro Cup. Essentially the big, "everybody's watching" games, like, for instance, the UEFA Champions League Final, which takes place later on this afternoon. The match will be watched the world over, and when you consider the fact that two of the best soccer players in the world (Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi) — not to mention two of the most followed clubs in the world — the appeal is understandable. For those of you who don't like the sport, today's game between Manchester United and Barcelona is a good opportunity to perhaps change these colors.
The United States loves its celebrities, athletic or otherwise, and with that in mind, a Ronaldo/Messi head-to-head could be the very thing to attract more fans — at least for today's match. If you haven't heard of either and question their star power, don't, especially with Ronaldo. Not only is each player an international superstar, both are competing for the World Player of the Year award, which was given to Ronaldo last season. The thinking is, if Barcelona wins, Messi wins the award and vice-versa.
There is one unfortunate thing about today's Final: the timing. Because of Europe's silly "we're ahead of you lot by five or six hours" mentality, the game comes on during the afternoon for us Americans. Fear not, however. ESPN360 has you covered if you are at work. If you are at home, ESPN will be doing the deed in a "live television" format.
Allow me to echo the thoughts of ESPN's Josh Elliot (via Twitter and The Sporting News Blog), "give it a chance." You never know, you might actually enjoy it. And hey, there's always a chance a riot breaks out, so you have that going for you as well.
Game time is 2:25 Eastern.

The sample color seemed to last so I was expecting the basecoat to be great. It's not. I don't get a days wear out of it.
Used this and the same brand top coat and it didn't work well I had my nail polish on for one day and the whole polish peeled off my finger like a sticker. My cheap base works better then this
While I love their actual colors, the base coat really isn't great. My polish also chipped when I used the base coat while using other bases/top coats, the polish lasted a week. Skip this and buy a color you love!
This base coat makes your polish peel off like a sticker. I love my other Ruffian polishes (including the top coat) but I'd skip this one if I had it to do over. I use the Ruffian top coat for both a base and a top now.
Every time I've used this base coat, my nail polish has peeled off - Like, the polish from the entire nail, in one big flake. I've tried it under different polishes, and always seen the same result, naked nails by the end of the next day. I actually threw it away so I wouldn't be tempted to try it again. I am so disappointed, and also surprised, as I've has great luck with the polishes from this brand.
I purchased this based on the hype surrounding the launch of Ruffian's nail lacquer and the fact that I loved the Fox Hunt Polish, which really had a good stick & shine.
Unfortunately, after about 12 hours of using this base coat, my polish peeled off completely! I paired the base coat with Ruffian polish and also tested it with another kind of polish. Both were unsuccessful. I will continue to use Ruffian's Fox Hunt, but with another brand of base coat.
I have since returned this product. Still in search of a great base coat...
I have now used this base coat for two at-home mani's and for both, I had nail chips within 2 hours. In some cases, even, the entire nail of polish will come off! I still love the ruffian packaging, but I'd go for a different base coat.
Nice solid basecoat. Went on easily, and left the perfect tacky surface for the Ruffian nail polish. Very good overall.
I had really high hopes for this base coat. I tried it out one evening by itself and by the next morning it was flaking off all over the place. So then I tried it again when I gave myself a fresh mani and pedi, and it caused the polish to also flake off after only a day. I'll try to use it up, but won't be purchasing again...nothing so far beats Butter London's base coat.
I had a mani/pedi done yesterday after receiving this by UPS and am thrilled with the color-nude and the base coat which seems like it will hopefully keep my nails from splitting anymore. So I will give it the old "college try" and see how well it works.

20th Century Fox
A crowd gathers around the "Central Park Sphere" in a scene from "The Day the
Earth Stood Still," a remake of the classic 1951 movie about alien visitation.
Although the modern-day reincarnation of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" may not rise to the classic status of the 57-year-old original, it fortifies the science-fiction story with some fresh science facts.
The original 1951 movie was a black-and-white, Space Age parable about a planet in peril ... from the potential threat of nuclear war. Calling the movie a "parable" is particularly apt, because veiled allusions to the Christ story are shot through the tale about an alien visitor (Klaatu, played by Michael Rennie) who brings a message of peace and unity to a world riven by the Cold War.
The new "Day," opening Friday with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, preserves the basic story of an alien with a mission who comes down to Earth. This time, however, the mission is not to keep earthlings from trashing the celestial neighborhood, but to keep humans from trashing Earth.
"We can't risk the survival of the planet for one species," Klaatu explains in the film.
Will the remake's environmental message resonate the way the original film resonated for an earlier generation? "I can't think about this movie having long-term impact in the way that the original did," Scott Derrickson, the director of the new "Day," told me this week. "If it did, I'd be shocked."
Like the first "King Kong," the first "Day" was such a classic that it couldn't possibly be matched, "even if you make a perfect film," he said. That's the big reason why he was reluctant at first to take on the project.
He changed his mind, however, after reading the script, which recast the 57-year-old story from a 21st-century perspective.
"What I tried to do was take a picture of this moment in time. ... What that moment seemed to be is that we're living in an age where we've made quite a mess of things: the war, the economy, the planet, this thing that keeps us living," he said.
And yet, Derricksen said, humanity seems to do its very best when things are at their very worst. That's when people somehow find a path to change they can believe in. "I wanted to make a film about that reality, that the precipice of disaster is sometimes the very place where transformation takes place," he said.
That doesn't mean the new "Day" is purely a message movie. "My first job is to entertain," Derrickson said. To do that job, he built in plenty of breakneck chase sequences, big explosions and woo-woo special effects. No one will mistake the movie for a philosophical treatise - or a science documentary, for that matter. But when possible, Derrickson tried to have the movie reflect what scientists have learned about the cosmic frontier over the past half-century.
"We went through a tremendous amount of effort to root the science of the movie in real science, and also to pay particular respect to the profession of science," he said.
Derrickson's main ally in that effort was Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the California-based SETI Institute. Shostak was brought in as an adviser because the film's leading actress, Jennifer Connelly, plays the role of an astrobiologist - and wanted to learn more about what such scientists really did.
Shostak said he was impressed by Connelly's interest, and by the fact that an Oscar-winning actress was cast as an expert in a scientific discipline that is still building up its credibility. "How many movie characters can you name who were astrobiologists?" Shostak asked during an interview this week. "I think Jennifer Connelly might be the first."
Eventually, Derrickson asked Shostak to look through the script and mark anything that didn't ring true to a scientist's ear. He got back a sheaf of papers that were covered with red marks. "So I told him, 'Can you fix it, please ... and stop being so condescending,'" Derrickson joked.
Not all of the suggestions were taken, a fact of life that Shostak accepts. "It's Hollywood," he told me. "Their job is not to teach you science." However, there are a few scientific riffs worth paying attention to:
Real astrobiology: The dialogue for Connelly's first scene, which is set in a Princeton classroom, was rewritten to reflect questions that astrobiologists might actually consider: For example, which microbe would be more likely to live on Callisto, one of Jupiter's ice-covered moons: radiation-hardened Deinococcus radiodurans, or a type of thiobacteria that can survive in sulfuric acid? (I'd go with the first choice on Mars, and the second choice on Europa or Venus. But Callisto? Feel free to weigh in with your space-geek selection below.)
Real nanotechnology: One of the threats that comes up in the movie is a variation of a standard nano-doomsday plot device known as "gray goo": the ability of fictional nano-bugs to swarm over their target and turn it into ... another swarm of nano-bugs. The late author Michael Crichton used this in one of his sci-fi novels, "Prey" - and although that book was never made into a movie, "Day" provides the next best thing in nano-meltdowns. Could it really happen? Almost certainly not the way Crichton imagined it. Nevertheless, experts have voiced concern about nano-safety as recently as this week.
No flying saucers: The original "Day" indelibly imprinted the flying-saucer image on a generation of UFO fans. The metallic, engine-driven spaceship became a cliche of outer-space operas, ranging from "Star Trek" to "Star Wars" to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." For his new "Day," Derrickson wanted to create a totally different kind of UFO: Klaatu and his pals come to Earth in shining lights that look like globes of swirling clouds when they come to rest. "I love the idea of trying to create an alien spaceflight technology that came from an entirely different place," Derrickson said.
Real equations: Shostak said one of the most important things he did was to check the equations that Klaatu writes on a blackboard for a Nobel-winning professor (played in a cameo by "Monty Python" veteran John Cleese). "The equations there are in fact some of the fundamental equations of general relativity, but what happens is that Klaatu adds another term which might account for dark energy," Shostak explained. "We don't know what that term is, but he does. ... Klaatu establishes his creds by showing that he knows more about general relativity than we do."
In his Space.com tale about being on the set, Shostak recounts how he told Derrickson that Keanu Reeves seemed to be writing the equations too slowly on the board. The way Shostak told the story, Derrickson answered that Reeves was doing it just right for the role. "Hey, Seth, he's an alien," Shostak quoted him as saying.
For the record, Derrickson told me he doesn't remember making that crack but was happy with the way the scene turned out. He was also happy with the contribution that Shostak made to the movie.
"It was a big lesson to me on the science front," he said.
For his part, Shostak hopes "The Day the Earth Stood Still" will leave young viewers yearning to learn more about life on Earth and beyond. Some of them may end up starring as astrobiologists in a real-life sequel.
"The thing I would tell schoolkids is, 'You know, there are actually people who make a modest living studying the possibility of life beyond Earth," he said.
Update for 9:35 p.m. ET: To mark the opening of the new "Day," Twentieth Century Fox has arranged to have the whole movie transmitted via a 5-meter dish antenna (the kind used for TV uplinks) in the direction of the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri.
The transmission will be made by Florida-based Deep Space Communications Network, a commercial venture that has been sending signals spaceward for more than three years. (One of their previous clients was Craigslist.)
"We are thrilled about beaming this film into space," Jim Lewis, the venture's managing director, said in a news release. "This will be our first full-length movie transmission. And what could be more relevant to send into deep space than a movie about the earth's acceptance of visitors from outer space?"
Deep Space says the transmission is due to begin at noon ET Friday, but don't expect a film review from the Centaurians anytime soon. The triple-star system is four light-years away, which means it would be four years before anything could possibly reach Alpha Centauri.
In fact, SETI experts say it's unlikely that a decipherable signal will ever get that far. Shostak has looked into how far radio signals of various strengths could carry into deep space, and his conclusion is that TV transmissions would be drowned out by static long before they get to Alpha Centauri. Tightly focused military radar signals might carry farther, but the Pentagon has no plans to air the matinee.
This has led NBC News space analyst James Oberg to call Twentieth Century Fox's transmission "a publicity stunt" based on "claims about interstellar communication that are really technologically strained, if not entirely bogus."

WRT20 Wrangler Retro® Relaxed Boot Cut Jean
Price: $51.99
Wrangler Retro® Relaxed Boot Cut Jean 29 31
Perfect jean I find myself to be very particular about my jeans. They need to be nice enough to starch and wear with a blazer and button up yet comfortable enough to be able to get out and work on a fence. I don't believe in owning work jeans and Sunday jeans. The WRT20's are my perfect jean. I can climb in and out of jeep, kneel down to twist a line of wire, or starch them up and scoot a boot on Saturday night all in the same pair. Please do not stop making these jeans. January 16, 2014
Fit good, & they look even better! Fit good, & they look even better. I just realized that im not a fan of the relaxed fit, I like my jeans a little tighter so slim fit works for me. December 23, 2013
Great jean, glad I bought them after all these years Love the fit. They are wearing very well. Would buy other pairs. February 6, 2013
fits big in the butt When I was ordering....it never said relaxed fit. These jeans fit big in the butt and thighs. Nice color t Or tho. Just wish it would have said relaxed. December 19, 2012
unhappy with sizing I purchased two pair of this model a couple of months apart. The first pair was awesome. Fit great. I ordered the exact same size, model, etc. (My records will show that) and the second pair was shorter and tighter. Manufacturing consistency or quality is apparently poor. December 18, 2012
Nice jeans, but they don't last so well I like how these jeans fit. They are one of the few cuts that work for me, being tall and skinny (30x36). I like them so much that when I moved overseas and my old pair developed a hole in the knee, I had a visiting friend bring 2 pairs over for me. Having said that, I am a little disappointed that the bleach wash and the faded denim wash jeans have been distressed to the point that they're not going to last. My last pair lasted 2 years of non-strenuous wear (mostly only during the winter) before developing a hole in one knee. I hope to get 2 years out of the new pairs I just ordered on Wrangler.com. I'm doubtful because they are already fraying around the pockets and the bottom hems right out of the box. Next time I'll order the plain denim version and hope for better wear. I am also disappointed a little with wrangler.com. I ordered the Retro Boot Cut, but they sent me relaxed leg boot cut instead. As I mentioned earlier, I'm overseas and exchanges aren't practical. The relaxed leg is OK, but I prefer the original cut. I might expect this kind of mistake from a reseller or online store that sells lots of different things, but not from a jeans company.

Aquatic Leaf Jacket 5 6
Beautiful Jacket This is a beautiful jacket unfortunately the sleeves were too long for me (longer than 20 inches) and had to return it; otherwise the jacket itself is true to size. July 30, 2013
Beautiful Jacket I purchased this jacket and it came very quickly from Travelsmith. It fits perfect, I rolled the cuff once due to my petite size. The problem with this jacket when I wore it to work, is that is has a very heavy dye smell from the cotton lining in the jacket.(made in India) It was very annoying all day. I did get many compliments on the looks and the vibrant colors. I have now taken this garment to the dry cleaners as this item is dry clean only and am hoping that the dye smell will subside. I tried spraying it with Fabreeze and it did not help. If the smell is still there I will be forced to send this beautiful jacket back due to the strong smell! March 24, 2012
Bad quality Was advertised as pure silk. It was really polyester and poorly made. July 31, 2013
Love this jacket! I purchased this jacket to go over a sleeveless black dress. Its absolutely beautiful. The copper threads add some glitz to the jacket, but you don't see it in the photos. It does have a smell that goes away after it airs out for a week. I generally wear an 18W and this fits fine and I can zip it up if I wanted to. May 17, 2013
Great Fit, Great Design, Bad Odor As the previous reviewer state this jacket is beautiful, fits well but has a heavy dye odor. I called customer service regarding this issue, and they advised me to air it out or send it back. It has been airing for several weeks in the guest room. The odor is almost gone and will be wearable soon. Just too pretty to send back. April 5, 2012

Scott Kantor
B.A. Lafayette College, 2003
J.D. Pace Law School 2006, Intellectual Property
"The faculty are accessible, which is one of the best things about a smaller school like Pace."
Team Player
Originally from Los Angeles, Scott Kantor developed his interest in the entertainment industry almost as a matter of course. A fan of a range of music genres, he worked for record companies as an undergrad and realized early on his goal of working in the recording and fashion industries.
His Pace experience has focused that goal on intellectual property and trademark law, and given him tools easily transferable to a career in the entertainment industry.
"My most valuable experiences here have been the internships and externships arranged by the university and the opportunity to work in different environments," he said.
During an externship with the Attorney General's office and year-long corporate internship with wine and spirit producer and distributor Pernod Ricard USA, Scott worked hands-on with licensing agreements and an international trademark portfolio.
He's also participated in Pace's Grand Moot Court program, and as president of Pace's American Constitution Society, helped organize a symposium on the future of the death penalty.
"Everybody at Pace is very supportive," he said. "The faculty are accessible, which is one of the best things about a smaller school like Pace. Teamwork is the key to any work environment, and makes for a happier life, too."

Memorial Sloan Kettering's annual seminar exposes high school students and their teachers to cutting-edge scientific research.
Our summer fellowship program helps medical students learn to become physician-scientists. Read about one of our trainees who investigated an imaging tool for use in patients with a rare uterine cancer.
Memorial Sloan Kettering board member Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. was interviewed about his commitments to education and medical research. Mr. Gerstner helped to establish the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Honors were conferred, PhD degrees were awarded, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author addressed the graduates at the May 10 ceremony.
At the seventh annual seminar for high school students and teachers, investigators discuss how cutting-edge biomedical research may ultimately contribute to better treatments for cancer patients.
A May 11 ceremony recognized doctoral and honorary degree recipients and featured National Cancer Institute Director Harold Varmus as the keynote speaker.
As part of Memorial Sloan Kettering's 33rd annual academic convocation on May 11, the Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences awarded PhDs to four graduates.
Memorial Sloan Kettering trains medical students, residents, and fellows to become leaders in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Academic Convocation honored students receiving PhD degrees for work conducted in Memorial Sloan Kettering's laboratories; younger Memorial Sloan Kettering physicians, scientists, and postdoctoral research fellows; and established clinicians and investigators from the Center and beyond.
A five-year grant of more than $1.4 million will fund a program to train nurses in helping survivors achieve the best possible quality of life after cancer.

Guess Mr. West and crew can pop the champagne as another year goes by with their record intact.
By Ben Golliver
The Heat's 27-game winning streak was snapped by a 101-97 loss to the Bulls at the United Center in Chicago on Wednesday. After dominating late in games to launch multiple double-digit comebacks throughout its streak, Miami came up just short in the fourth quarter, getting outscored by the Bulls 32-29 in the final period.
Miami's streak goes down as the second-longest in NBA history, falling just six games short of tying the NBA's all-time record of 33 consecutive wins set by the 1971-72 Lakers. In pursuit of the Lakers' all-time record, Miami passed the 2007-08 Rockets (22 games) to set the record for the three-point era.
The Heat, who are defending their 2012 title, last lost on Feb. 1 to the Pacers in Indiana. Miami won more games during its streak than 10 teams have won all season as of Wednesday.
LeBron James finished with a game-high 32 points, seven rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals to lead the Heat. Dwyane Wade, returning after missing two games to rest his knee, added 18 points, seven rebounds, two assists and four steals.
The undermanned Bulls were without Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Marco Belinelli and Richard Hamilton due to various injuries. Chicago was led by Luol Deng, who finished with 28 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds.
Miami holds the NBA's best record at 56-15 and leads the rest of the Eastern Conference by 11.5 games.
Guess Mr. West and crew can pop the champagne as another year goes by with their record intact.
Individually LeBron's regular season has been historic, I think looking back it will be up there with Shaq in 2000 and Jordan in 96, or 92, as the most dominant seasons in the modern era. Just crazy to be able to play that way for 2 months straight.
Big sigh of relief from Lakers fans. That was close.
First of all - i love the determination both teams showed. Secondly, I cant believe the heat wave is over!! Good run, Miami. see you at the NBA Finals. I guess its no wonder why people think the '72 lakers are better than the Heat this year on the sidewithme debate - can't compare anyone with mr. nba, jerry west. sidewithme.com/debate/408
Thank God, even if they got the streak they still weren't in position to break the bulls record of 72-10!!! That was a team and played against better competition... Put that in perspective that before the streak even started they already had 14 losses!
I wanna to see Heat win over healthy Bulls without Le Bron, Wade, Bosh. Just imagine how shortmaned Bulls crushed their dreams, yep, without Rose, Noah, Belinelli, Hamilton. STREAK between stupid steroid eyes .
The Heat have one of the oldest rosters in the league. They really need to start resting their players now anyway, what with the #1 seed for the East all but locked up, and the pressure of the win streak would've gotten in the way of that.
YES!!!! Good run though.
And they thought they were getting the record.... I guess better to lose now than later.
Thank you, Chicago!
BOOyah! No Rose, no Kim. Deep, baby!
I'm so unhappy about this excellent series ended :-(
Oh yeah, and that is a great win for the Bulls!
@JaneGutierez I remember that team. Mr. West was the best. Half the teams in the league now would beat that team at least half the time. Apples and oranges.
@Jarrett1 I would challenge that ridiculous statement. The 1990s were a very weak era of basketball. And I don't even like James and the Heat.
@LeilaniHernandez So what are they going to talk about now?
@LeilaniHernandez Useless? Yes, I'd like to know too.
@LeilaniHernandez Please Leilane, tell me how the steak is useless...
@OgnjenStevanovic Some truth to what you say. If it was steroid driven,IDK, take joy in the end of the practice. That would mean more than the end of the streak.
What are LBJ's stats over this streak? Will his effort become part of his legend?
@MannyAviles Who thought that? All the sound bites from the Heat players themselves the last few weeks kept stressing that the playoffs matter, not the streak.
@NemanjaRasic Pukli ste ko picke, Bullsi bez pola tima su vam napravili decu .
Reverend Tebow.
@TravisSonnentag @LeilaniHernandez OH MY GOD...IT'S THE REGULAR SEASON, FOOLS! IT MEANS NOTHING!
@leehwgoc The Media thought that the record was going to be broken.... this was just to stressful for the players as the streak was getting longer... Like I said: better to loose a meaningless game now than one down the road in the playoffs

Because the Night
The back cover of my 'sleepless' molie; I've had these lyrics stuck in my head for the past several days. In 1978 Patti Smith recorded a song called 'Because the Night.' The song was written and recorded originally by Bruce Springsteen but he didn't include it on 'Darkness on the Edge of Town,' the album he was working on at the time (in the studio next door to where Patti Smith was recording, which is how she was introduced to it). Springtseen just released an album of some of his 'lost' work from the Darkness sessions and I've had it stuck in my head since I heard it yesterday. It seemed like a fitting last note to my 'sleepless' journey.
