This review is from: EVGA 512-P2-N757-TR GeForce 8600 GT 512MB 128-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: None.
Price is average.
Initially seemed to be an alright product for the money.
Cons: Failed in 34 days. This is outside of NewEggs return policies. I am having to go through EVGA for a return/exchange. This is an experience that I would not wish on any other NewEgg customer that is looking for a video product. Slow response times, ridiculous return requirements and poor customer service only describe the very beginning of the disappointments.
Other Thoughts: I can not ever offer a positive customer rating to EVGA. There is no way that I will ever spend money on a product manufactured by EVGA again. If you have not yet had a bad experience with an EVGA product, don't fret, if you own on of their products it is only a matter of time before the bad experice will rear its ugly head. Be aware of this sub-standard product and its sub-standard manufacturer.
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: SUPERMICRO SuperChassis CSE-836TQ-R800B Black 3U Rackmount Server Case 800W Redundant
Pros: SuperMicro makes great cases for the money. I own several of this case model and each has been flawless in operation. Over the years I have built and sold many server class products housed in SuperMicro armor and have had no customer complaints. Replacement parts are easy to order directly from SuperMicro and the staff has always served my needs in a very professional manner.
Cons: Some small spaces to try to run cables in, especially with big hands and fingers. This is no case for an occupied space. Even with the BIOS set for silent server operation, the case is still noisy. Fan noise from power supplies and the 7-8 fans in the case can be oppressive. You would not want to situate this case where people want to concentrate on work. The rails on some of the new SuperMicro products could be better. There has been a noticeable loss of quality in the rails provided with the newest SuperMicro products.
Other Thoughts: The shipping box that the case comes in is very protective of the contents. The shipping weight is 70-74lbs so be ready to wrestle a large box into the door when it arrives.

Cons: It is non-functional right out of the box.
Other Thoughts: I hope the one that will be re-shipped to me will be better.

Recent articles
George Will: Colleges become the victims of progressivism
(Editor's Note: This column was originally published in June and is an example of the rhetoric that those who oppose Michigan State University's selection of Washington Post columnist George Will as a commencement speaker are protesting.)
Rethinking U.S. foreign policy
Barack Obama's coming request for Congress to "right-size and update" the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against terrorism will be constitutionally fastidious and will catalyze a debate that will illuminate Republican fissures. They, however, are signs of a healthy development -- the reappearance of foreign policy heterodoxy in Republican ranks.
What Republicans must do now
Unlike the dog that chased the car until, to its consternation, he caught it, Republicans know what do with what they have caught. Having completed their capture of control of the legislative branch, they should start with the following six measures concerning practical governance and constitutional equilibrium:
Tackled by the language police
Wretched excess by government can be beneficial if it startles people into wholesome disgust and deepened distrust, and prompts judicial rebukes that enlarge freedom. So let's hope the Federal Communications Commission embraces the formal petition inciting it to deny licenses to broadcasters who use the word "Redskins" when reporting on the Washington Redskins.
WILL: Is Christie running?
Gov. Chris Christie could be forgiven if he had chips on both shoulders as big as those shoulders. This year, the first of his second term, has been overshadowed by often partisan investigations, more protracted than productive, of the involvement of several of his former aides -- he fired them -- in the closing of some access lanes to the George Washington Bridge.
WILL: Obama needs Congress to approve this war
The United States last declared war many wars ago, on June 5, 1942, when, to clarify legal ambiguities during a world conflagration, it declared war on Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Today's issue is not whether to declare war but only whether the president should even seek congressional authorization for the protracted use of force against the Islamic State.
WILL: Fed up with cupcake cops
In physics, a unified field theory is an attempt to explain with a single hypothesis the behavior of several fields. Its political corollary is the Cupcake Postulate, which explains everything, from Missouri to Iraq, concerning Americans' comprehensive withdrawal of confidence from government at all levels and all areas of activity.
WILL: The reason for Watergate?
At about 5:15 p.m. on June 17, 1971, in the Oval Office, the president ordered a crime: "I want it implemented on a thievery basis. Goddamn it, get in and get those files. Blow the safe and get it."
WILL: Mississippi votes its appetite
Chris McDaniel, 41, the flawed paladin of the tea party persuasion who in Mississippi's Republican Senate primary failed to wrest the nomination from the faltering hands of six-term incumbent Thad Cochran, 76, came into politics after a stint in talk radio. There practitioners do not live by the axiom that you don't have to explain something you never said, and McDaniel had some explaining to do about some of his more colorful broadcast opinions and phrases, which may have...
WILL: Ignoring the path to recovery
It is said that the problem with the younger generation -- any younger generation -- is that it has not read the minutes of the last meeting. Barack Obama, forever young, has convenient memory loss: It serves his ideology. His amnesia concerning the policies that produced the robust recovery from the more severe (measured by its 10.8 percent unemployment rate) recession of 1981-82 has produced policies that have resulted in 0.1 percent economic growth in 2014's first quarter -- the...

Warmists Think Obama Can Control The Weather
Climate astrology at its best. The Reuters story is all about how Obama may deal with the Keystone Pipeline (which he will probably do his best to kill, despite being a way to provide tens of thousands of jobs here in the US) and Hotcoldwetdry, and provides this spiffy quote
Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said Obama's second term will be pivotal in the fight against climate change, which he called the "singular issue of our time for anyone who cares about clean air, clean water and a safe future for our families."
Brune urged Obama to take "swift, decisive action to prevent more erratic weather, superstorms and wildfires."
There's so much wrong with those two paragraphs that all it deserves is
Ed Morrissey points out that Sierra Club must be thrilled over the number of fossil fueled vehicles and private jets being used to bring ObamaZombies in for the 2nd Coronation.
Fortunately, hyper-climate astrologist Seth Borenstein shoots the "Obama can control the weather" meme in the foot, to some degree
Scientifically, the president doesn't have control of day-to-day weather. While his policies can lessen or worsen future projected global warming on a large scale, they cannot do anything about Washington's daily temperature on Jan. 21.
See? Not the weather. But, the Lightbringer can, in the minds of fevered-Warmists, control the global temperatures. The Sun can't, but Obama can.
(just to be clear, this is not a post knocking Obama, though he has made a few crazy pronouncements, like causing the seas to recede, but Warmists)

With Heat rolling, Lakers recall their record run
Updated: March 20, 2013, 5:35 AM ET
Associated Press
Gail Goodrich knew Miami would beat Boston the other night.
He knew even a 17-point deficit, the largest they had faced in six weeks, wouldn't stop LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
"Once they got back in the game, there was no doubt in my mind they were going to win," Goodrich said of the Heat's 105-103 victory Monday. "They just are better than everybody else."
So were the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

Eye Kandy Cosmetics launched a full line of glitters made specifically to wear safely around the eyes. I found that these glitters were perfect for use in nail services.
Eye Kandy Cosmetics launched a full line of glitters made specifically to wear safely around the eyes. I found that these glitters were perfect for use in nail services. They are the finest glitters in the cosmetic industry, which allows them to blend smoothly. The sparkle factor is captivating.Eye Kandy comes in 60 colors that can be mixed to create an infinite number of possibilities. Some of the glitters are available in two sizes, Super Fine ("SF"; the most versatile) and Fine ("F"; the larger surface reflects more light), plus there are Sugar ("S") glitters that are transparent whereas the other glitters are opaque. Eye Kandy also offers 25 Mineral Eye Shadows that are also great to incorporate into your nail art. Use them alone or combine them with glitters for a multi-dimensional effect. When you're creating nail enhancements with embellishments like glitter, keep in mind that the strength of the nail comes from the type of product you are using and the structure of the nail. When adding glitter to acrylic, use a ratio of no more than 1 part glitter to 3 parts acrylic powder. Adding more glitter may cause your client to experience service breakdown. Also, all glitters need to be encased into your nail structure. If you fail to do this, you will lose all the beautiful color on the glitter when you file. Here are step-by-step instructions for using Eye Kandy Cosmetics with acrylic to create a Mardi Gras-inspired nail design.
See a step-by-step snowflake design by Ciesla that uses Eye Kandy Cosmetics and gel at www.nailsmag.com/EyeKandyGel.

I recently went to my doctor to investigate something that was troubling me. Believe it or not, several times a minute I feel a short vibration or buzz in my heart area. It has been happening for 3- 4 weeks and, until late last week, I did not realize it was actually my heart. I had dismissed it for weeks thinking it was my breathing, vibrations in the floor of my office, and, yes, my BlackBerry.

Overclocking was dead simple on the ECS HDC-I, as the only option available to users to tweak is a predefined Turbo Mode. That means it was also a boring experience. Normally we would be disappointed with such a limited BIOS, but this time it is tough to do so, as the overclock achieved through Turbo Mode is a hefty 33%. That's right; the E-350 can clock in at 2133MHz. The memory multiplier obviously is brought down to 3:8, or else it would have been clocked at almost 1800MHz. The reference clock increases by 2MHz randomly sometimes too, so that's why in the following screenshot the E-350 is actually at 2167MHz.
Update 11/22/11: Neoseeker has learned from a few forum members that the Turbo Mode is not featured on mass production units, supposedly because of stability issues.
It's pretty impressive considering the fact that the Gigabyte board, even in manual mode, did not allow anything higher than 120MHz on the reference clock, from the stock 100MHz.
So for that particular reason, the overclocked scores from the Gigabyte offering as well as those from the Athlon II X2 and Sempron will be compared. It is going to be interesting, as the manual overclocking of the Gigabyte board allowed for a higher memory frequency, but the core clock was much lower.
Now it be fair from the ECS to provide at least a small possibility of overclocking like the other e350 boards! We should send them a suggestion, because many left disappointed!
Now I'm sad, I'm not angry. It will be better :-)
P.S. I believe you, none of you not guilty. Blame the ECS!
Bojan (foster12345)
The article was updated with the information.
My conclusion is that the ECS provides you a stable motherboard with turbo mode bios to test and review. Of course all other sales without a new BIOS and stability. Their main goal is to attract the rest of us and sell us the waste. It is not fair and should be someone to contact them for explanation!
quote foster12345VLC 1.1.11 I believe. We use Windows 7 64bit for the reviews.Ok, I'll make a test of stability, but with which program to do it? And another question; I used the new vlc 1.1.12, which you used? And in which OS you're doing the test, windows 7 32 bit or 46 bit like me?
Sorry to disturb Smith, but it's important to me to figure out the exact problem...
Sorry to disturb Smith, but it's important to me to figure out the exact problem...
quote dakky21Or probably the entire lineup. Here, it works on mine. This is the 1080P LoTR excerpt we use for the Handbrake tests, in .mp4.I'm guessing they had "manual" testing of each board and disabled Turbo mode on purpose, on those which were not stable enough to handle that much overclock...
I really suggest you run a stability test overnight. VLC might be digging up issues that other programs don't.
Dakky Why are you think so? The board, which does not pass the tests is corrupt, and must not be sold with the same price.
ECS must have an explanation for this!
Dakky, have you tried the Turbo BIOS update?
quote foster12345I'm guessing they had "manual" testing of each board and disabled Turbo mode on purpose, on those which were not stable enough to handle that much overclock...The smith, I should mention that for example Windows Media Player (12) works perfectly without any hitch and freezing ... I'll try other programs, but maybe is something with the settings of VLC player. Perhaps it is also problem with my 64 bit Windows 7 and 32 bit VLC? So it would be good if the owners of this motherboard try VLC player and other similar programs in Turbo mode, and say the results. I'll also try some more and get back results.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 699
Rated 2 out of 5 by jjames21 The hotel room was disappointing
I was expecting much nicer hotel room when I arrived at the Westin. The Westin is known for being luxurious and I did not feel that the price I paid for the hotel room was appropriate. I could easily hear weights being dropped in the gym and it disrupted my sleep. I am now going to be hesitant to stay at a Westin again considering this visit was awful. The staff was extremely friendly as always, but the hotel was very disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Goodeye440 Second room met expectations
My husband and I were in San Francisco for a one night and two days of city holiday shopping. While we know that every standard room in a hotel is not equal, it would have been nice if upon check-in we could have been given our second room first rather than the dark, office facing room originally assigned. The front desk happily gave us a more comfortable room across the hall with a lovely ambiance which made our trip memorable in a positive way as well as ensured us a return visit with Westin.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LauraX Disappointed
I realize the hotel was being renovated but I was disappointed.
I have never been in a room without towel racks. There was no place to hang a towel.
Incorrect charges at checkout. These were corrected by e-mail. I was charged for a day I was not there and the rate was incorrect. It was fortunate that I noticed this in order to get it corrected.
Fire Alarm at midnight caused by renovation work.
The conference I attended was poorly coordinated in terms of food and beverages from the hotel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by yabbi Perfect location in downtown SF
This hotel had the perfect location in SF downtown and our corner suite on the 33rd floor had the most spectacular view of the city. Our suite and bathroom were clean. Loved the Westin aroma in the lobby area near the entrance.
House keeping was a bit below par. With a family of 5 in the suite, 2 rollaway beds had bed sheets that were stained and returned and changed. A few bath towels had stains that were exchanged quickly. Shower curtain had slight stink which was promptly taken care of.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave993 Good hotel, but eat elsewhere
The hotel was great.....convenient location, nice view, clean, well laid-out room. But I had both a dinner and a breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel and both were terrible. The breakfast, in particular, was overpriced and of poor quality. The quiche in the buffet was served cold. The eggs were runny and tasteless. I mean really tasteless. In a city with good bagels everywhere, the bagels tasted like they were purchased at a supermarket in a plastic bag. Better food at a comfort inn.
December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GMack55 Perfect Location
I stayed at the Westin Market street with a friend for a weekend getaway and it was perfect for relaxing, eating-out and minimal sigh seeing. Everything was within walking distance from the hotel. We went for dinners out at Yerba Buena Center and explored the MOMA and Metreon during the day. We also had great fun back in the hotel bar! We loved being so close to everything, we never even needed a cab.
The room was super comfortable, updated and clean.

Rated 2 out of 5 by margiect very disappointing stay
This was our first trip to San Francisco and our hotel stay was quite disappointing. From the moment we checked in it was very crowded with long lines at reception and for the concierge. A few elevators were not working so after waiting 15 minutes or more we took the stairs. The entire hotel is under construction with large sections of the lobby blocked off. I felt a few of the concierges really had no idea of what they were talking about. Ivana was the exception, she was very helpful.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MLTW Great location, but...
The good: great location. The bad: when we checked in we were told we had a low room by the elevator that people previously complained about noise. There was a queen bed room available on a higher floor which we took. She didn't say the queen bed was more like a double bed and the room was maybe 2/3 the size of a normal room. There wasn't enough room for 3 of us when a friend stopped in.
We caught cabs twice and had to flag them ourselves (no doorman in sight to whistle either time).

Rated 4 out of 5 by Starwoodregular Great location and features
I enjoyed my stay here over the 4th of July weekend. The gym is great, and the patio area has a fire pit for chilly SF nights. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. Except for Dan the concierge. He was condescending and not helpful. He brushed me off a few times, even though I was trying to rent a car from the hotel. He also brushed off another guest who was looking for options to get to Fisherman's Warf. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay very much.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lance02 An Excellent Visit to the Westin!
My wife and I visited the Westin recently, and our experience with the staff and facilties couldn't have been better! What a great group of people working here!
We were visiting one night on the end of our trip to SF, and our weekend anniversary celebration. The wonderful hostess at the counter was so helpful in getting us into our room early - and providing a nice celebratory anniversary gift!
And the whole hotel is so nicely decorated, and the bed was amazingly comfortable.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kevin423 Meh...
Came in late one night without a reservation. They gave me a room but they had to check online to see the pricing for the night. Isn't this something that they should already know? Was placed at room 423, which happens to be the room next to the workout facility. I didn't think much of this at first, but that turned out to be a big mistake. Apparently their workout facility is open all night or something because it was IMPOSSIBLE to sleep with people constantly dropping the weights. At around 5am, I couldn't handle the abuse anymore and demanded to be changed to another room which they obliged. I was able to sleep pretty well after moving to a room in the 15th floor. Room 423 is a joke, avoid it like the plague if you want a good night's rest! I have no idea why they continue to check that room out for guests.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Eck79 Great stay except if you need internet access
Everything about the hotel was really good with the exception of two things. First, the wired internet didn't even work at all and the wireless network was very spotty. Connection and signal strength were solid and speed was decent but all of my devices would fail to reach the internet for minutes at a time very frequently. I ended up using my MiFi most of my stay. The other issue was with the shower drain which drained very slow due to a clog. I even pulled the drain out to expose the clog every day and every day it got shoved back into the drain.
The concierge was great and able to book reservations for me and make great recommendations. All other staff were very nice and accommodating as you would expect. Fix the two relatively minor issues (unless you depend on internet access) and this is a 10/10 for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FlightOfIdeas Quiet confort in the middle of San Francisco
Not but a block away from the hustle and bustle of Market Street is this quiet gem. The lobby/lounge are comfortable and inviting, and the rooms have the heavenly beds we've grown to love. Most impressive was the service from everyone we encountered. In fact, this was a family trip using our Starwood Preferred points and yet, we were treated like royalty. Thanks so much. I plan to stay here every time I return to SF.

Rated 2 out of 5 by mpkunkel44 so close but unfortunate
Hi Simone,
The room was close, staff great, upgrade being part of SPF beautiful... the only issue was waking up to and realizing there was what appeared to be blood on the sheet of the bed. Neither my wife or I had any cuts or scrapes so were quite disgusted. That said, no follow up needed. We just suggest more thorough review of quality from this perspective. Again, all else was great and highly recommend the hotel as we have stayed there on many occasions in the past.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KozbyK Friendly, helpful staff is its best asset
This was my first stay at this property, and the front desk staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. I was given full Gold recognition and upgraded to a corner room. I truly appreciated their attitude and service.
The room itself seems poorly designed for a taller person, with incredibly low ceilings in the foyer and bathroom as well as near the windows. The immovable shower head was barely 2" above my head, making washing my hair a hazardous activity for my hands....ditto for raising arms to put on deodorant. The bathroom also had a fan in vent that ran continuously with no off switch, and it caused a loud and strong vibration throughout the room.
Given that this property was built in recent years, the low ceiling and poor design came as a surprise. It would make me think twice before staying here again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lfarnsworth Staff service exceptional
I am a frequent guest at the Westin Market on Third Street in San Francisco. The staff is incredible and always looks to provide exceptional guest service and accomodations.
There is one employee in particular, whose name begins with "Z", who works at the front desk who never fails to ensure that I have an amazing stay. He cares about the comfort and quality of experience of his guests. He is pleasant and warm. This is very important as a frequent business traveler.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Elizabeth81 Slow service, less attention
Normally very happy with Westin and SPG. This was an exception. On day 1, bathtub was very slick, and I fell backwards out to the floor, pulling down the shower curtain. Called to report need for repair of curtain and request to not have tub so slick - experience little regard for whether I was okay and no attempt at service recovery.
Had no room service menu - called desk and requested one. Took one hour, three phone calls, and two trips to my room to get me a menu. Then, when I ordered food, it was cold and did not taste good.
Requested help from concierge (in person), and she treated me like I had come from the country and had no idea about restaurant selection - when, in fact, I am a foodie and seek out good restaurants. She was in a hurry and did not want to take the time to hear what I was interested in finding.

Rated 3 out of 5 by zekieslc nothing special- always an issue
have been staying here less and less lately on my frequent trips to sf. Room I booked was not avail, always by the elevator and it sounds like a bus coming and going all the time. did not realize 'green' meant no maid service, nor was it explained to me. Also rooms always smell like smoke. I now stay as a last resort. not the worst hotel out there by any means but so many other great choices in sf and within the starwood world.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DockerCon2014 Stayed for the Docker Conference
I found that the room was cramped espcially the doors leading to the bathroom and the wardrobe. Although housekeeping did a good job I found my bed lumpy and had a hard time sleeping at night.
The food at Maso's was below par. Granted they were catering for a conference. However, the was very little choice and few healthy options. The Executive Chef at Maso's needs to revise his catering menu. I have had much better at less endowed establishments.

Rated 3 out of 5 by cd1137 Mediocre Stay
Overall, this hotel was okay. For the price I paid I expected to receive a little more attention to detail. First, my room did not receive a complete cleaning for each day I was there. When I asked housekeeping for another packet with an emery board I was told they did not have any. One packet for a five day stay? I don't think i asked for something uncalled for. Dirty glasses were not replaced daily. Also, concierge charged .50 cent for a .33 cent postage stamp.

Rated 4 out of 5 by visitor123 Convenient location, but lacking some amenities especiallly for the price
There were no late night food options either in the bar or from room service. That's unacceptable for a SF city hotel. You are forced to go out to get food or just be hungry. When there was food available in the restaurant, it wasn't that great, not enough to justify the price. Also, I thought the room rate was unnecessarily high. The staff was very nice and attentive. I would recommend staying at this location with some reservations based on cost and amenities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pattycake Great location, amazing staff!
My husband and I arrived late in the evening (11:00 pm or so) during a large convention. The only room left was a handicapped accessible one with a queen bed. The room was smaller than our bedroom at home and the safe was missing. It was clean, but, not a place we wanted to stay 5 nights. The staff assured us that when the convention guests checked out the next day, they'd get us a more suitable room as quickly as possible. By 10:00 the next morning we were moved into a larger room with king bed and safe. Also, the concierge was great. She gave us lots of info about area attractions, and arranged for a rental car for a few days. The car was dropped off and picked up at the hotel. Nice bar area. Great breakfast buffet. Lots of common areas with comfortable seating to relax or catch up on work. Hotel is clean and contemporary.

Rated 2 out of 5 by lton front desk personnel not great
Westin usually has great front desk personnel however I wasn't impressed with the Westin Market St. folks. I asked for a room that had a view of the bay bridge and he promised that's what I had. I did not so I asked to move. They put me on the top floor but still no view of bridge and fireworks. The first room smelled strange. The second room had alot of rowdy partiers who were smoking pot.in the stairwell. We realized it was new years eve so didn't complain.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Don20 Failed to meet expectations
The room and location was nice and convenient. I was extremely disappointed in the service, however. I called and spoke with several associates to ensure flowers were delivered to my room upon arrival. No one seemed to know what was going on and the flowers were not delivered to the room without me calling down once again to inquire to where they were located. At times, they told me that they hadn't arrived but I had already received confirmation from the shipping company that they had been delivered at 10:30 am. I also requested an upgraded room with a view, received a confirmation email that it was received, but did not get the upgraded room. Fortunately, I was not charged the extra upgrade fee so I did not mention it at the time of check out. Overall, my experience during this stay was not as pleasant as previous occasions.

Rated 4 out of 5 by omeletman Nice hotel
As with many other Westin Hotels, this one was clean and efficiently run. Our room was very nicely appointed but rather small for the category (Deluxe Suite). For a stay of more than a few days, dresser and clothing space would be limited. The staff was accommodating, to a point. Concierge service was limited and the fact that there was no sundries store in house was disappointing.
Location was key for this stay and the hotel is well located for our needs.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Emerald Room Service
I travel a lot and think I'm pretty flexible when it comes to Room Service dining, but this was a low point.
I ordered the Roast Beef and Brie French Dip and Tiramasu. The Dip sandwich was reasonable, but the Tiramasu was the worst I've had or seen. It wasn't fresh, it was per-packaged with some sort of lousy brown topping on it. You could get a better one at Seven-Eleven, it was that bad. Very disappointed that Westin would try and offer this to guests.

Rated 3 out of 5 by amsontheroad Great hotel, but restaurant staff needs attention
This is a great hotel at very central location. Everything in the hotel is at the expected Westin standard.
However, the breakfast buffet offered was not worth the price and on top the restaurant staff was not attentive. People shouldn't work there if they don't want to serve customers. This was not one server the whole staff had a very unusual, non-interested behavior.
I am writing this review as this happened to me a couple of months back at this hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by calihopper2014 Brief Layover
I found myself in need of a hotel for two nights between business meetings in Palm Springs and Modesto. My room was not ready upon arrival (it was only 9am so no fault of the hotels), but the staff was very welcoming and able to check my luggage providing me with a phone call when my room was ready and a plethora of suggestions of things to do and see while I waited. There was a room service tray that sat outside my room that first day and the next, which seemed a bit neglectful, but overall that was my only complain by a fairly particular guest. The room offerred nice views, the bed/toiletries/amenities were all as to be expected from a Westin and I was very impressed by the size and variety provided in the fitness center as well as the breakfast buffet in the restaurant. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to a friend or colleague as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PPHX Small Things Mean A Lot
I stay at the Westin Market Street very often SPG Platinum every year). The staff is excellent in every respect. Recently , however, management has decided to discontinue providing morning papers (NYT, SF Chronicle) to guests as a cost saving approach. This is a small thing that is annoying to me and other frequent guests I've talked to. Couldn't a hotel of this quality at least offer newspapers like the NYT and Chronicle to its SPG frequent travelers?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crazycanucks Flawless experience
Stayed three nights at the Westin Market and everything has been excellent.
The staff was available to help and guide us. We ate at the hotel restaurant and it was delightfull for a decent price. The rooms are very clean at up to date. The location is just perfect since it is a couple blocks away from union square and has a BART station, train and bus stop just at the corner that can lead you to every part of the city.
Thanks for this memorable stay!

Every good comedian needs a straight man. In the case of Erin and Eric, it's a straight woman. Oh, Erin is plenty funny and entertaining on her own, but its clear she was meant to play the serious counterpart to Eric's nonstop antics and energy. Just watch how often you see her cracking up in this mere handful of images from their wedding day. That's Eric at work for sure. Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After is how the saying goes I believe, and Erin & Eric have that principle well in hand.

Miscellaneous Monday
To be honest, this is mostly going to be a reason to share cute photos of my girls over the holidays….
A matter of housekeeping first. Since "baby girl" is no longer the baby girl around here, I'm changing her blog moniker to "mini" which is another name we use for her, and it is so apt – as she is truly a mini version of us both. And, I'll call our new baby girl Squeak – so named because that is what she did instead of crying when she first arrived (she has since learned to cry….loudly.).
My biggest take-away from this holiday season is gratefulness. I could sit around all day snuggling with our new little one and just soak in that feeling. We are so happy to have her here and our little family is feeling so wonderfully full. I stare at her several times a day in complete wonder that she exists.
Of course, a two-month old's appreciation of the holidays is rather limited. But, we tried. I think her favorite parts were Christmas music and the lights on the tree.
Speaking of lights – we took a family trip to Jellystone park to see their display. It was a huge hit and we even managed to drive thru with our nephews too – they in one car, us in another – and enjoying it all together via FaceTime.
One of the best gifts I received this holiday wasn't in a box and couldn't be wrapped. I opened the door on a Friday night and was shocked to see my good pal and Associate Photographer, Melissa standing there! This was truly a huge surprise, as she hates coming here in the Winter. I can't even express how much it meant to me that she took on the time and expense to travel here to surprise me for the weekend. The girl time was just what I needed. And she got to meet Squeak, which we didn't think was going to happen until June – my heart burst each time I saw them cuddling together on the couch. We had a great time shopping, eating out, chatting until the wee hours and just hanging, and we were so sad to see her go. Big thanks to Hubby for helping coordinate that gift! (somehow we failed to take pictures of any of this)
Squeak is getting so big – finally growing into some of her newborn clothes, and rapidly approaching the 8 lb mark. She's been awake more and more since she passed her due date, and she's been working on holding up her head really well.
Mini was so excited for Santa this year, and pegged her requests from him very early on. She never wavered, and asked for her two favorite things – both of which she was super excited to open on Christmas morning and hasn't stopped playing with since.
Squeak also got to meet her Aunt Jamie and cousin Baron over the holiday – another friend (and cousin coincidentally) who we were just bursting to see.
(yes, Mini is wearing a crown. We spend most days in some form of "princess")
There's a lot of sisterly love around here lately. One of the most popular questions we get is how Mini has handled a new sibling. I can truly say the jealous moments have numbered two that I can recall. Mostly she loves on her, calls her "my baby" and wants to include her in everything. Please, please let this be how they always feel about each other.
Only our kid would decide that Santa might get a tummy ache from all the cookies at all the other kid's houses. And so she decided he'd rather have carrots and apples from us (and just one cookie). Ha!
After a four month hiatus (thanks to bed rest and post-c-section recovery), I was so very excited to be back at shooting for real again at Lauren & Aaron's wedding this past Saturday! It felt so good to click away, play with light and find myself surrounded by emotion, story and joy. Yeah, it was cold and windy, but I didn't care. Working the photography muscles again felt so good! Click over to my Instagram account to get a little preview of the day and see all of the beautiful ways they incorporated the holiday without being too obvious about it.
Ringo's birthday was just before Christmas. Mini thought that deserved cake and ice cream. So we whipped one up, though I'm not sure Ringo appreciated it as much as the toddler did.
Now that the holidays are over, it's birthday season here. We have 6 in the next few weeks, including mine, Hubby's and the Mini's. No rest for the weary in this household!
These few pics describe our holiday pretty well – crazy, gut-busting laughter, non-stop antics by the Mini, and lots of snuggling:
We hope yours were just as awesome! Catch you in the New Year!

Giants are a Super Bowl favorite
Eli Manning has quieted some critics and made New York a dangerous playoff threat
In August, I wrote an article for Insider detailing eight reasons the New York Giants should be considered the favorites to win the NFC East.
The genesis for that article stemmed from the overwhelming amount of attention the Philadelphia Eagles and their Dream Team were getting. The consensus in the football world was that the Eagles would win the NFC East, but the Giants had a number of personnel advantages over the Eagles and should never have been overlooked as favorites to win the division.
Now it seems the same thing is happening regarding Big Blue's chances at making a successful Super Bowl run. The consensus seems to be that the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints or New England Patriots are by far the favorites to win the NFL's postseason tournament, but there are eight reasons the Giants should be one of the favorites to win it all.
1. Eli Manning is an elite quarterback.
If the hullabaloo that happened when Manning said he was an elite quarterback was any indication, there is still some question as to whether he belongs in the elite category.

Windows: iArt 2.0 released
iArt is a freeware program that can be used to download album art for your iTunes library. It allows you to choose what playlist (or your library) to get album art for. You can then choose exactly what tracks you want music for, and then iArt will download covers for your music from Amazon! This program depends on your tags so having good tags usually gets better results. However, iArt will also work with music with missing tags, as long as the artist tag is there, it can attempt to find a match!
What's new in this version
This version adds support for getting album art for your music through jpegs that are in the same directory as the music.
License: Freeware
System Requirements: Windows 2000/XP and iTunes 4.5

Love the program but somehow it put the wrong art with about half my songs (art from other albums in my library…). I'm having a heck of time trying to sort it out, even though it was sort of cool. I'm bummed about the mix ups.

I pride myself on my id3 tags being clean and perfect, but this program was shocking. i gave it a sample of 20 files. on a cable connection it took 20 minutes, and came back with no results. albums like 'u2 all you can't leave behind' were simple, on the bit where you go through it manually, it was the first option, the track and album were correct… but it didn't come up with anything. at the moment it has been searchin for a self titled album by korn for a good 10 minutes on manual mode… frozen? im not sure. anyone know why this is hapening?

For some reason it has a far greater (almost 100%!) success rate in finding album art than anything else I've run across.
I have used FetchArt as a starting point for a freshly-ripped CD library, because it's so simple and automated. But it misses a lot so then I turn to Clutter. It's meant to load art for one album at a time, not a whole library, but just go down the Album list in iTunes and you'll be done before you know it.
Then, for every future CD I buy, I just grab the art from Clutter after ripping.
BTW, FetchArt on Mac got a bunch of wrong art for me once—art from one album appeared on another. I simply used Get Info to remove all the art with one click, ran FetchArt again, and it was fine. Go figure.

The reason there is no Mac version is that there are already several programs that do the same thing for the Mac. In fact, they probably do it better and faster. Don't rag on us PC people just because we want a sliver of the functionality of iApps.

I'm having some problems with this program and I'm hoping someone here can offer some answers. I am running Windows 2000.
First I got a warning telling me cannot find mscoree.dll
So I downloaded the dll to the iart folder.
Then I rebooted and got the following warning:
"Please set registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETFramework?InstallRoot to point to the .NET Framework install location.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey All,
Can anyone tell me where to find iART? I've tried the D/L link above but it sends me to a "page cannot be found" site.

International Edition
By Wayne Drash, CNN
(CNN) - The pregnant 12-year-old girl was strung out on heroin and looked like a walking skeleton when she arrived at the hospital. The conversation that followed, said Phoenix police chaplain John South, has stuck with him ever since.
"Do you know who the father is?" South recalled asking her.
"She said, 'Yes, it's my biological father. He's the one who hooked me on heroin so he could continue to rape me whenever he wanted to.' "
The Protestant chaplain has consoled about 50 pregnant rape victims - typically girls raped by their fathers - in his years working with the Phoenix Police Department.
South describes himself as "pro-life," but when it comes to dealing with a girl or woman impregnated by a rapist, he keeps his personal views to himself.
"I don't give them a lecture or preach at them," South said. "I've seen crimes beyond comprehension."
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock stirred controversy during a debate in Indiana Tuesday when he said pregnancies from rape are "something that God intended to happen." The instant reaction in political circles was predictable: Democrats decried him, and many conservative Republicans defended his position as steadfastly "pro-life."
But theologians were quick with a more nuanced approach, saying the issue of pregnancies from rape strikes at the core of a timeless question: How do you explain evil in a world where God is loving?
That said, many expressed outright dismay by Mourdock's remarks.
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
South wanted to know what Bible Mourdock reads because "what he's saying is absolutely wrong. It's not biblical."
The police chaplain said pregnancies from rape aren't meant to be politicized and said the victims suffer from physical and mental wounds and are often suicidal. About 60% of the time, South surmised from his experience, the women or girls choose to give the baby up for adoption, as long as they never see the child at birth.
"I hurt for these kids," he said. "Rape is evil."
Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of the best-selling book "When Bad Things Happen to Good People," said Mourdock's remarks were off-base: "He's invoking the will of God where it is not appropriate."
People "should have compassion for the person whose life is messed up by this and not make her an instrument for our idiosyncratic, theological commitment," Kushner said.
"If you believe she has no right to terminate that pregnancy, you're free to believe that," Kushner said. "But for you to write your preferences into law and compel another person to mess her life up because of what you believe, I think you're going too far."
"I continue to be bemused by the ultraconservative lawmakers who say they want smaller government and less government intrusion into people's lives, except when it comes to who you can marry and how many children you should have."
Plenty of liberal Christians bemoaned how Mourdock was being perceived by some as the face of American Christianity.
"Once again, expressions of Christian faith that honor the rights of women to choose their own health care options and what happens to their bodies are not seen or heard," wrote the Rev. Barbara Kershner Daniel, who pastors the Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ of Frederick, Maryland, in a message that she circulated via email.
"The lack of another voice, another perspective, another vision from the Christian community leaves an impression that all Christians share this single perspective about pregnancy through rape," she wrote.
Father Tom Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University, said he found Mourdock's comments troubling from a Catholic perspective because "God does not want rape to happen."
"Someone getting pregnant through rape simply means biology continues to function," Reese said. "That doesn't mean God wills it.
"If we look at the Scriptures, we see a God who weeps with those going through pain, who is compassionate for those who suffer and condemns those who do injustice," Reese said
During the Tuesday debate, Mourdock was explaining his opposition to abortion in cases of rape or incest when he made his remark. "I came to realize life is a gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," said Mourdock, the Indiana state treasurer.
Amid the uproar Wednesday, Mourdock sought to clarify his comments, saying he was sorry if he offended anyone but said his comments were twisted and distorted for political gain. "The God that I worship would never, ever want to see evil done," he said.
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
Paul Root Wolpe, the director for the Center of Ethics at Emory University, said Mourdock's comments were the equivalent "of saying you shouldn't pull people out of the rubble because God intended the earthquake to happen or we shouldn't try to cure disease because it's God who gave us the disease," Wolpe said.
"That perspective was theologically rejected by virtually every major religion a long, long time ago," Wolpe added.
Mourdock has been an active member of Christian Fellowship Church in Evansville, Indiana, for nearly two decades, according to Mike Deeg, the executive pastor of the 2,000-plus member nondenominational evangelical church.
Mourdock has gone on missions trips with a group connected to the church to Bolivia and is well-regarded among congregants Deeg said.
Deeg says the church tries to remain largely out of politics. "We don't think God is Republican or a Democrat," he said by phone from Evansville, noting they encourage members to vote, the church just doesn't say for whom.
The pastor said of what he has read about Mourdock's remarks, they largely lined up with the church's teachings on the sanctity of life and their belief that life begins at conception.
"I think rape is a horrible thing, and I think God would condemn rape as horrible," Deeg said. "I think we're made in the image of God regardless," he added, "I don't think the circumstances dictate whether God knows us and loves us, regardless of how our conception comes about."
South, the chaplain in Phoenix, said the 12-year-old girl he met years ago opted for an abortion and her father was ultimately convicted of rape. He said he grappled often with "why she was subjected to such horrendous pain and torture, mentally, physically and emotionally."
"Did it shake my faith? No," South said. "Did I ask God why? Of course."
CNN's Eric Marrapodi contributed to this report
If you had a steak last night for dinner, there is someone out there who is a vegetarian and believes that you should not be able to "stop a beating heart" for your dinner and that it is MURDER. Should that vegetarian be able to legislate that people can no longer kill animals for food or perhaps they should mind their own damn business and just not eat meat themselves?
a.k.a If you don't like abortion...don't have one!
man is responsible for his own sin. God can never sin nor initiate sin. Jam 1:13-15 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
God can use man's sinful intentions to achieve His purpose. The great example is Lord Jesus. It is God's will to crucify Jesus for the sins of his elect. He used sinful intentions and sinful actions of Jues and Judas to achieve it. The people who crucified Jesus are still responsible for this sin, though God used it for greater purpose.
Luke 22:21-22 "But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22And truly the Son of man [Lord Jesus Christ] goeth, as it was determined [determined by God]: but woe [eternally damned] unto that man {Judas] by whom he is betrayed!"
Acts 2:22-24 "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."
Gen 45:4-8 "And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt."
It's nice to have a hobby
That God would turn around a great injustice or a seemingly unsurmountable disaster that has come about by accident or design of men to make His infinite, ever-powerful presence known I have no doubt of, having witnessed such a thing firsthand a few times in my life, but to say that God espouses and abets the consequences of evil to attain the same end, such as this fool Mourdock does, is a dangerous form of self-delusion that should be allowed no pretense of power.
same answer for 'why is there so much evil in the world' when God is good. Evil is because of man and his sin.
The paradox of religious wackos.....Killing for resources and power, A-Ok. Killing unborn children, that's bad mmmkay.....if its wrong its wrong....stay focused people.
Soooo, the guy who would be leader of the free world endorses this lunatic, but doesn't endorse his worldview??? What the hell does he endorse about him, then?
No matter how they try to sweep it under the rug- the GOP agenda points right back to flintlock rifles, powdered wigs and of course chains of slavery! They want to dictate to women, what they should do with their bodies. They ARE NOT the Republican party of Ronald Reagan, who would not have a chance with this racist Republican sham. There is nothing GRAND about the GOP anymore.
Leave it to the Liberal media to put this non-story on the front page while burying the lies and deceit from obama after the death of our Ambassador in Libya in a CIA safe house.
We'll listen to you after Dick Cheney is arrested for starting a war based on lies that killed 4,000+ American soldiers and 100,000+ Iraqis.
lol, just last week I was commenting on an opinion article that CNN had listed as it's number 1 article (with a picture) on the left side of the home page praising Romney.
Yeah, this liberal media! They're so stupid they actually act unbiased just to make us think they're not liberal media! Brb, gonna go read some of the opinion peices on the home page about how the wind is at Romney's back. There that stupid liberal media goes again, being unbaised!
Bush allowed 9/11 to happen inspite fo repeated warnings and justice departments not allowing CIA to share data with FBI while tailgating those 18 killers in this US.
In 2010, Republicans used jobs to get control States and congress. Many of these states run by republicans laid off employees to boost the unemployment. All them have worked on laws to restrict abortions, voting, none worked to create jobs. Except Ohio where Obama helped Auto sector which also helped WI, MI, IN, TN,MO and PA. Primary Agenda for Republicans: Over turn Roe vs wade, kill medicare and social security, mandate religion, occupy middle east( exterminate muslims) for oil/Jesus, make or allow war for control resources and promote christianity. Reagan: South America/Lebanon/Afghanistan/Iran-Iraq, Bush Sr: Iraq/Bosnia, GW Jr: Iraq and Afghanistan
" How do you explain evil in a world where God is loving?"
In 2 Kings, one of God's priests got miffed when a group of children made fun of his bald head and prayed to god to punish them: "He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys."
Yeah, tell us again how "loving" your god is.
In other words, God will empower both the the meek and the vindictive, as long as they worship Him??? Then morality is not in the hands of God, but of men. If that is so, then I say, kick Mourdock to the curb and praise the Lord, Halleluia!
2 Kings 2 – Elisha & the 2 bears – is a stark illustration of the need for justice. Here were *well over* 42 (since the bears killed 42 *of them*, clearly there were a lot more) youths (best scholarship tells us roughly 10 old boys) coming out of the city to stop an old man passing by. Gang violence is about to occur.
Worse than that, they are mocking God's representative. This is a city whose economy is thriving on idol worship. Elisha's number 1 concern was calling that out. He was no friend to that city's economy by their concerns.
This was premeditated. Elisha was not going thru the city, but passing by it. The youth *came out* after him. They went out of their way. He was going around them.
So, God intervenes with justice.
But more to your point: what is God showing about himself? Not just that he stands up for the elderly, or that he is against gang violence, but this points to something. As Jesus said in Lk.24:27 & 44, all of this is about him.
So what does the life & death of Jesus tell us? the cross tells us: Elisha was a sinner like everyone else (he deserved to die) – but God was using him. So how could he be saved & these youth killed in justice? Why does Elisha get mercy?
Because a greater Elisha would come. God's ultimate Representative (Himself), who would be taken outside the city & mocked. But unlike these youth, when the justice falls, it doesn't come down on the mockers, but on the One who would die to save mockers – like them, like Elisha, like us.
2 Kings 2 is a precursor to the cross. That's what Jesus is saying in Lk.24.
The problem under your objection is that you are reading the Bible wrong. Here's a video to help you out: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkNa6tLWrqk&w=640&h=390]
The bible is nothing more than the combination of Twilight, Resident Evil, 50 shades of Grey, and music by Queen... Except it was entertainment for people pre-plumbing.
Today, the under educated rely on the bible to make decisions that only the average person could do on their own. Why dont you worship David Blaine or Chris Angel? They are so much cooler than this fairy tale.
@ JDPsiPhi: here are two "fairy tale" scholars on your premise...
as JRR Tolkien told (a then atheist) CS Lewis: "Christianity is not one more fairy tale pointing to greater truth, it is the greater Truth to which all other fairy tales point."
CS Lewis then later makes the point in a much more scholarly way in an essay given to biblical scholars: "Fern Seed & Elephants"
Since the bible can be used to justify just about anything, from stoning your neighbor to death for some minor transaction to loving your neighbor despite his actions, I view it as pretty much useless.
Age old question: " How do you explain evil in a world where God is loving?"
Age old answer: No god, no explanation needed.
Do some of you really want social issues to dominate American politics?
Isn't that like the Taliban?
The top priorities should be focused on economic recovery and jobs or I'm thinking these social issues won't ever amount to anything, anyway.
This guy is an absolute jack A**!!!!
CCN interrupts its regularly scheduled Romney bashing program to bash some other conservatives. The regular Romney bashing will continue at its scheduled time.
Other stories today: Folders lots of women in folders, Catholics don't vote, Mormons hate gays and black people,
Remember vote early and often, your new gubment phone is in the mail.
Just look at your pathetic comment. Forcing little girls to give birth isn't worthy of discussion, and yet fictional "government phones" gets a shout-out? Ladies and gents, I give you the American Taliban.
But don't vote if you're a minority or old or poor. We are setting up laws to stop you right now.
I'm surprised the 666 tattoo on the forehead hasn't cropped up yet (FAIK). Maybe the 47% that don't count in Romney's mind should not be allowed to vote, since they are irrelevant in his eyes, anyway.
CNN pay attention here are your next few headlines:
Taliban have taken over Republican party. IS MITT A TALIBANER????
Conservatives wear Black Panther uniforms and prevent voting of old, young and poor. CAN THE POLL TAX BE FAR BEHIND!!
Jesus who?
Free gubment phones phoney???
OHHHHH forgot one!!!!!

How does this tie into Romney's investment in Steri-Cycle, the aborted fetus disposal company? I'm sure there is a connection somewhere.
Countless studies have shown that there is a higher incidence of incest and child molestation among southern, white evangelical families than in any other group that participated in the study. Experts are in agreement that this type of deviant behavior is generally a result of living in close quarters, such as trailer parks. Anyone requiring further proof only has to take a casual drive south of the Mason-Dixon line where you will encounter toothless inbreds wherever you travel. In fact, historians have long theorized that the reason the south lost the Civil War is because of the high number of mentally challenged soldiers in the army, a direct result of generations of inbreeding
78.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Oops- now it's 78.7%.
Please cite your sources of information. I'd love to read them. I doubt you can tell me one. Your bigoted comments showed the lack of education and experience traveling you have. Try to leave your trailer once in a while.
I thouht tornadoes were supposed to mitigate the issues that arise from trailer parks...
I thought you were only allowed to touch kids at church... or boy scouts... Your redneck hypothesis is starting to make sense....
What a perfect example of why the Republican party alienates so many. This topic should not be on a political platform, period. They could come up with the best piece of art in the world and then they pee on it. And then wonder why nobody wants to buy it. Foolish.
Jim, you are so right! Every time I hear about this, I think...."YOU JUST CAN'T FIX STUPID!"
Didn't somebody pee on art they got all upset?
Why do Republicans need to STOP the way they believe? WHY?
Should you be forced to STOP the way you believe?
Where is your tolerance?
No one has to stop the way they believe. Believe away. But do not sign it into law to make sure everyone has to believe the same thing.
Idiocy can only be tolerated so much.
Provide an argument for why one should tolerate injustice, cruelty, lack of compassion, lack of empathy, or any of the other things that are wrong with how people act toward one another. Standing by.
no one is saying you have to give up your beliefs, just stop forcing them on everyone else.
Mine went away as soon as there were "faith" protestors outside LEGAL abortion clinics.
you do realize that the problem here is that these law makers would, if given the chance, change the laws so that they fit their religious views on the matter. You talk about tolerance but what we people want to prevent is the religious ideology of others being forced upon them because of the beliefs of lawmakers. Believe what ever you want just dont use that as a justification to dictate rules for the rest of society
Because they force those beliefs on everyone. Believe what you want but don't force others to follow your silly religion.
You are either missing the point, or intentionally attempting to obscure it. Believe whatever you want, just don't try to force it others by enforcing it through religiously-based laws.
And what is your tolerance of Taliban's views? It is getting more and more blurry between today's far right Republican views and the Taliban's views.
No one is dictating that anyone has to stop believing anything.
However, believing in something and passing laws to make everyone abide by what you believe is completely another.
So this is what a fool looks like..hummmm
You misspelled – that's "human"
What I don't understand is if everything that happens is what God intended to happen, then aren't murders "God's will"?
Not to mention abortions. Wouldn't they be gods will too?
Obama may have enough votes to win in a landslide but Romney has the Counters on his side and its the official count that wins.
If Romney/Ryan get elected under their law all AMERICAN women will be required to wear burkas(?) like the Arab women have to when they go out. Wonder if Ann Romney can find one at Costco????
Yes, it sure looks that way.

Hi: 9° Lo:4°
GRITTERS are on standby after warnings of snow overnight.
Teams from Worcestershire County Council will go out to salt or plough roads across the county if needed, with snow predicted to affect parts of the county tonight and into Friday morning.
The MET office has issued a yellow warning for the potential for some snow, mainly affecting higher ground which could coincide with the commute to work. Any snow that does fall should become slushy relatively quickly before turning to rain by tomorrow lunchtime,
Residents are being warned to remember even on pre-treated roads, salting will not stop snow from settling and sleet, hail and rain can cause problems with the salt being washed off the road.
It will also not prevent the formation of black ice when rain falls on sub-zero roads.
Jon Fraser, council customer and community manager, said: "We would always encourage people not to travel in really bad weather if their journey is not essential but, if they have to travel, they need to make sure that they check the forecasts before they set out.
"However drivers should never assume that a road has been treated and therefore should always drive with care and in accordance with the road and weather conditions."
