I wonder what your family does when the Spring sunshine begins to show itself and warm the Earth up a little? We're getting a little of that now that winter is officially over. I say "officially" because the weather can't really decide if that's true. Yesterday was one of those early-spring warm sunshiny days that you long for all winter long, so we spent the afternoon down at Sorrento.
It's a long drive from here and we had to convince Miss Sunshine that she'd rather be with us than shopping on her own. But we managed all of that, even with Miss Mischief clocking up her learner-driver hours on the way down.
We had afternoon tea at the famous Vanilla Slice place - affectionately called a "snot block" by many Aussies. I never understood that reference, but their vanilla slices were particularly good. My warmed pear and almond cake was oh so delicious. I realised afterwards I didn't get a photo of it!
We wandered down to the foreshore area and watched the Queenscliffe Ferry arrive, unload and head back out again. Everyone headed out along a little teensy pier. I did not. I do not like piers so much that I would risk myself along a rickety-looking version, the floor of which is full of gaps and sea can be seen between the boards. I like my piers solid, large and preferably with bitumen over the base! Like the pier used for the ferry! Dh came back and said this pier was barely standing and the railings wonky. Miss Sunshine thought as long as it wasn't acting like a swinging bridge (her greatest fear) everything was fine.
Whenever country folk like us head down to the beach there is a mandatory fish-and-chips-by-the-beach dinner involved. We had no picnic rugs so we put the back of the Land Cruiser down and sat there to enjoy the beachy view, and our dinner
And then we had some dinner guests arrive. They were pretty determined too. Not quite to the point of flying past us and into the car, but close. They were certainly excited by the eventuality that we could not eat all of it!
After a long drive home we watched an episode of "The Newsroom" (we're into the final season, *sigh*) and headed to bed.
Perfect Sunday.

From: "Lisa Dusseault" <firstname.lastname@example.com> I believe the requirements for code repositories and the requirements for document repositories are in some sense incompatible. Thus, the client can't count on certain things being true for both kinds of repositories. As of yet, I don't see these incompatibilities. Document repository users want to give things human meaningful names. So do code repository users. Code repository users want to also give some things stable names. At least some document repository users want this as well, as reflected by the fact that many document repository systems today provide immutable stable names for document versions. And for those document systems that currently do not provide stable names, we have described a simple technique for "stabilizing" the names (that I believe you have agreed does not present implementation difficulties). I don't see a problem/incompatibility here. We may need: - "type A" where the client can count on versions being immutable and version URLs being non-reusable - "type B" where the client can count on versions being mutable and version URLs being readable. I agree the client needs to be able to count on certain behaviour, but it will have to be a different kind of behaviour depending on what kind of server it is talking to. Otherwise the needs of document-versioning servers will NOT be met by the versioning draft. Just to ring that bell one more time, I agree that type B clients need mutable (and human meaningful) URL's, but since they can use version-controlled resource and non-version-controlled resource URL's for this, I don't see why they need version URL's for this as well.

|Make a Smilebox scrapbook
We had fun swimming in the lake and riding 4 wheelers. On Sat. we moved camp to the big group site. (My parents camp with a group from their ward every 4th of July.) Ross and I were about to get in to bed Sat. night when I hear my dad on the phone with my aunt, telling her that my grandma had passed away. (My mom's mom.) So the next day we packed up everything and headed for Salt Lake. The rest of the week we hung out at my parents house and the kids went swimming every night.
|Make a Smilebox scrapbook
On Sat. we went to my grandmother's funeral. We moved around alot at kids so I never really felt a strong attachment to my grandparents, not that I don't love them I do and did, but I don't feel I really knew them. Living away from them still is hard. This is something I never want my kids to feel. My mom kept telling everyone who called or came over that she was ok because I was there. I don't know what I did to make it easier, but I guess I did.
I took my camera to the funeral but the only pictures we took were these 2. Wes and Paige sleeping on the way.
Well we came home on Sun the 13th. No broken bones, no one sick, everyone was just tired and ready to get out of the van. THE END

Growing up on the East Coast of Florida, my version of 'out West' usually meant a friend's house out past the turnpike – a laboriously long voyage at least 15 minutes away. So, when Johnny told me we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving in Paradise Valley, a posh area outside of Scotsdale, Arizona, I excitedly packed my boots and my belt buckles, slathered on an extra layer of moisturizer and giddy'ed on up to the airport. Unfortunately, Johnny told me about the trip in October, so it was slightly awkward when security told me I'd have to wait a month.
But hey, if you saw this area, you would have rushed to the airport, too. In fact, you probably would have tried to craft a plane out of cardboard and duct tape, just to not miss a sunset over the saguaros on Camelback Mountain. Or you would have just bought an earlier ticket. But, I don't have that kind of coin, so cardboard and duct tape seem like the obvious solution to me.
We spent the holiday with family, lounging around in our pjs, napping under the mesquite tree, sipping mimosas and cooking, cooking, cooking and eating, eating, eating (and watching the Rockettes in the Macy's Parade, of course.)
We even put the little ones to work, but that's only because Maddie makes the best guacamole this side of the equator – she could put Rick Bayless to shame. No, seriously, this kid is like an avocado prodigy.
Every now and then we would wrap our distended bellies in loose clothing and head out to mingle with civilized people who actually brush their hair on the weekends. Mainly just so we could eat in a different setting, although the backyard was pretty hard to beat:
People always ponder over what they would do if they won the lottery. Four minutes in La Grande Orange and I'm already planning to spend the winnings on buying this shop. It is cute. It is cool. It is delicious. Win. Win. Win.
We scarfed down Croque Madames and Huevos Rancheros in a matter of minutes. And like pure heathens, we washed it all down with boatloads of their incredible take on Vietnamese Coffees – complete with fattening, rich and wonderful condensed milk. If you live in or around this area and you don't come here every day, well, shame on you. There are a few spots in the sun outside, but the good seats are inside, staring at the industrial architecture or the hip handmade chalkboards or the people. It's always fun to stare at people.
Another one of our walkabouts led us to the Pinnacle Peak General Store in Pima. Part gas station, part convenience store, part antique shop, part Post Office, and, most importantly, part oh-yeah-baby breakfast spot, this delightful little nook has all the makings of a memorable meal. I kind of felt like I was eating in the middle of a pawn shop, but once I dug into those pancakes, I could have been eating in the middle of a delivery room for all I cared. Was this food gourmet? Not a chance. But was it good as all get out? You bet your ass.
So, what do you do when you are so full of pancakes and sausage gravy that you just want to die? You do what all families on Thanksgiving vacation do – you go to a notorious biker bar in the middle of nowhere.
Greasewood Flat, a 130-year-old bunkhouse turned bar and burger joint, has been named 'One of the oldest, quirkiest, most classic bars in America.' Who dubbed it that? I haven't a clue, but old and quirky it was – in spades. Dollars pinned, hung and placed in every conceivable nook and cranny, old wooden tables, fire pits and cool, rusted metal lamp posts made this place distinctly one-of-a-kind.
And although I barely got a picture of the gorgeous grounds at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa, I did manage to get this shot of an awesome mirror hanging on the wall at the hotel's restaurant, T. Cook's.
So, that should tell you more than you need to know – the restaurant is awesome enough to have this mirror, plus a lobster and fennel bisque and a short rib that you'd cut a priest for, thus, it's worth checking out. We sat in a sunlit courtyard, with lush foliage and the sound of chirping birds and had a truly magnificent meal in a setting meant for long lunches and afternoon cocktails. This would be a perfect date spot.
But, alas, the best part of my trip were the meals made at home. Lame and sappy, I know, but when you make sugar cookies and homemade s'mores, while sipping on Veuve near a roaring fireplace, it's hard not to feel like
a mothafuckin' rockstar there's no place like home. Even if it's not your home.
Plus, they had this mini-pony in my room. And, although I was staying in a 6-year-old girl's room, I'd like to think they put it there just for me.
Have you been to Paradise Valley and/or Scotsdale? What'd you think?

Just Enough Items provides descriptions about items such as the origin of the items, how to use them as well as other information for players that want to know more, just like an in-game Wikia. Just Enough Tooltips improves the mechanic of Just Enough Items, allowing players to view the information of the object that they are looking at, without having to open Just Enough Items to see it.
Just Enough Tooltips requires Forge Mod Loader, Just Enough Items and Minecraft 1.9.4 / 1.10.2 / 1.11.2.

Movie Stars and Mustaches
History of Mustaches
In Neolithic times, a Scythian horseman is the oldest known man to sport a mustache, which is seen on a piece of art, titled the "Horseman". He was also bald and part of a nomadic tribe that was known for their skill in shooting arrows with deadly accuracy. After battles they would also drink the blood of the first enemy they killed. Genghis Khan is another example of tyrant with a manly mustache who murdered thousands of people in other tribes in the 1100's.
Since this tribe lived north of Mongolia, near Siberia, I would have assumed the men would have grown hair anywhere they could due to the cold, and, of course, the lack of a good razor. Apparently, they shaved with sharp stones, which I presume was not pleasant.
Clark Gable
Errol Flynn
Old Movie Stars
Many older and new movie stars have mustaches, and they often have beards or goatees as well. A couple of the older stars that are interesting include Errol Flynn, who kept a thin mustache due to angular features, and Clark Gable.
Clark Gable's sexy mustache was a "chevron style", which seemed to shorten his wide upper lip. Another point of interesting fact about Clark Gable was his full sideburns that partially hid his large ears. Females swooned over this dashing man despite the ears.
Cowboy Mode
Sam Elliot
Sam Elliot
Sam Elliot is considered by many to have the best mustache of all the movie stars. He is rated number one in the Sweet 'Stache: 50 Badass Moustaches and the Faces Who Sport Them." His thick, handlebar moustache is almost a trademark for a rough and tough cowboy. This sexy man can get the job done!
Sam Elliot was born in 1944, and at his age of nine decided to become an actor. He has been in a huge number of westerns, but has appeared in other types of movies also. To my knowledge he has always had a mustache, and he has aged quite well.
Tom Selleck
Tom Selleck is another hunk that has worn a mustache throughout his career. He was born in 1945, and is well-known for his role in Magnum PI, a TV series. He is currently one of the stars in Blood Bloods. He has also played in several movies and other TV programs. His good looks, sexy mustache, dimples and charm have kept him very popular throughout the years.
Tom Selleck Younger Days
Pirates of the Caribbean
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp grew a thin mustache for Pirates of the Caribbean, along with a braided goatee when he played Jack Sparrow. That mustache style became very popular with men when the movie debuted. He has had an interesting career from the beginning with his own band, and then, he began acting. His career took off from playing in 21 Jump Street to a wide variety of movie characters. He is certainly one of the most versatile Hollywood movie stars.
Yosemite Sam
Yosemite Sam, last but not least, is the Looney Tunes character with the wildest mustache. This cartoon character seems to have a few anger management problems, but I did not want to leave him out of the variety of mustaches that are seen from Hollywood.
Yosemite Sam
In Summary
There are many other movie stars with all types of facial hair. I picked some stars with unique mustaches. For a mustache to look good it must be trimmed frequently. It takes about a week to 10 days to grow a mustache for most men, but not all men can grow some of the thicker mustache styles.

Fun article! I never thought much about moustaches until I got with my husband. At that time he had the horseshoe style moustache that came down to his chin. I loved it. Then he grew a goatee, and is now working on a full beard...I never knew men were as trend-conscious as women!
I have to say that I think Yosemite Sam has the sexiest moustache. Love the length and of course that red color. :) Really enjoyed reading this!

I must share with you my favorite actor of all time, and his famous mustache . . . Ronald Colman was a huge silent screen star and then was not only one of the very few to successfully crossover into talking pictures, but became an even bigger star - it was discovered, when folks could actually hear him speak, that he just so happened to have the greatest speaking voice in the English language. To this day, when someone (actors, cartoon characters, etc) wants to convey a sense of heroism, a sense of virtue and noble endeavor, without even knowing who he was or why they are speaking that way, they do a Ronald Colman voice. Our finest actor (he taught everyone how to act on the big screen and with sound), stunningly handsome, a mellifluous voice, Ronald Colman is not nearly so remembered as Gable or Grant or so many others, and I think it is largely because of his old world style mustache - he just looks from a bygone era, whereas Fonda or Cooper, etc, not so much.
I like Tom Selleck's mustache though the best mustache I liked was Burt Reynold's.
Wonderful and interesting hub.
voted up.
I love this hub. Unfortunately, I don't have moustaches . But I have beard now...hahaha. My favorite is Clark Gable. He is the actor of "Gone with Wind", right! Thanks for writing, Peggy. Voted up!
Some guys look great and even more attractive with a mustache, while others not. I can handle those who look great, as long as the mustache does not cover the upper lip... It should always be well-trimmed :)
Interesting, well-presented hub! Thank you, Pamela :)
Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott...yeppie, I bet they are just fine with NO mustache too.
My ex had a mustache and it was probably part of his charm that I found enchanting when we first met.
Thanks for sharing, Pamela.
Sending you Angels this evening :) ps
Wonderful ! It makes me wanna grow my mustache back. Although I still won't look like these guys. Oh well. Thanks, Pamela.. I enjoyed it !
What a great hub post! Yosimite and Johnny Depp are top on my lists for the look.
Great fun.. Makes me hanker for my moustache wearing days when I had a 'Tom Selleck' during my college days... Love your take on the subject. Oh and congrats on the awesome 100 score!
What a fun hub! My Dad had a mustache and I loved it.
I posted a comment earlier but i must have not hit post. I will try again. I love Clark Gable and Sam Elliot but i would prefer a man without a mustache. I have a sensitive lip..Hee. Fun hub..loved it..
Now you're talking!! Clark Gable and Sam Elliot would get my vote, plus if Clark were still alive, i would give Scarlett a run and Sam could put his boots under my table any day..Hee..
Yeah, Pamela, Gable, Selleck and Flynn look purdy good with their mustaches, but you have to admit I am the handsomest pardner of all!
Signed, Yosemite Sam
Thanks for this fun hub.
Pamela, I love this hub and so appropriate for this single woman to read on Valentine's Day! Sam Elliott is the hunk of all hunks in my book. I first fell in love with him when he starred with Cher in "Mask". I also like Tom Selleck. Johnny Depp you can keep. To me he looks like he has b.o. In fact, I've read that he's not too keen on showering when he's on a movie set. Yuck!
I am compelled to add a favorite mustache (and my personal heart throb) to you cast of hunks and that is Yanni. Oh, my lord - he could park his boots under my bed any day!
Thanx for the great read and the nice topic change from the norm!
I had a mustache for years, until it started showing grey. Then it came off! Really fun hub. Voted Up and Funny of course!
Love your hubs.
I mustache you a question but I'll shave it for later. :-)
What a great hub! never thought about mustaches before, some guys look good with them, others, well not so good! lol! voted up and shared! nell
Really clever idea for a hub here on stars with unique mustaches. I vote for Tom Selleck! lol Good advice there at the end for those who wish to sport a mustache.
Voted up +++ and sharing
God bless. In His Love, Faith Reaper
Fun hub! Sam Elliot will always get my vote for best mustache...plus he's just a cool guy. :)

A massive new raft of ecological legislation for construction is in danger of failing, the RIBA's chief sustainability adviser has warned.
Feilden Clegg Bradley architect Bill Gething has expressed serious concerns over the new Secure and Sustainable Buildings Act, Part L regulations and the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive - all of which are becoming law this autumn.
Gething told a recent Building Research Establishment (BRE) conference that the government has failed to invest in the research required to ensure the viability of the new rules.
His comments come amid one of the most radical overhauls of the energy efficiency rules in recent years. While Part L and the EU Directive have been expected for some time, their impact has been manifestly increased by the wholly unforeseen new act.
The World Wide Fund for Nature-backed act - which, unusually for a private member's bill, has made it to the statute book this week - is expected to have a major impact on architects.
Among the more radical changes in the act is the empowerment of council building inspectors to demand that homeowners make changes to their homes, such as improve insulation or upgrade their boilers, when they propose unrelated planning applications.
The bill also demands that all new homes meet the BRE's Ecohomes 'Very Good' standard, a move that will see a huge increase in the specification of 'environmentally friendly' materials.
However, Gething, who is a long-term campaigner for improved energy efficiency, warned that the government has failed to think through the impact of these changes.
'The government is now leaving it up to the industry to come up with model solutions and then develop dissemination and training programmes, ' he said. 'But the professional institutions just don't have the financial and organisational resources to do this. This is what the government needs to understand.
'On first glance it looks like it is a damn good thing that this is happening, but the government does not seem to realise what a task it is, ' Gething added. 'We in Britain are further ahead than anyone else in Europe on this kind of thing, but there is a problem if we cannot get the government to support it.'

The Many Uses of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has been in the media recently for being a healthy, beneficial oil. While most often sold with other cooking oils and used in, well, cooking, coconut oil has many, many other uses, making it quite the multitasking oil! This also means if you score a good deal on coconut oil, or grab a several-pound tub from your local big-box store, you can get quite a bit of use out of this one item, making it a potentially thrifty choice! What are some of the other uses for coconut oil?
Daily moisturizer: Coconut oil is solid at room temperature (unless you live in a warm, tropical area, in which case, store your coconut oil in a refrigerator or other cool place), meaning it's actually quite easy to dip your fingers in a tub and scoop out a small slab to rub on your skin. Some people with sensitive skin find they tolerate coconut oil just fine. Pregnant women sometimes find that daily use helps reduce stretch marks.
Lip Balm: Do you have an empty lip balm tin lying around? Scoop some coconut oil into it and go! It's easy to dab a little on your lips during the day, and you get to smell faintly of coconut!
Makeup Remover: Coconut oil can strip even the most stubborn of "24 hour lasting!" makeup off of your face. Place a tiny bit of melted coconut oil on a soft washcloth and gently scrub your face. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Easy!
Household Lubricant: Out of WD-40 and your creaky door hinge is driving you crazy? Want to get intimate but the KY Jelly container is empty? Coconut oil can substitute for both of those uses! It's not a long term solution, but it can lubricate squeaky metal parts around your home until you can get to the hardware store, and if you want to use it for more intimate purposes, just keep in mind that it's not compatible with latex.
What else have you used coconut oil for?

Border control
Venue: Johannesburg
Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
|Event Date/Time: May 21, 2007
|End Date/Time: May 23, 2007
Furthermore, it has been well documented that corrupt officials at the border posts are susceptible for bribery. The South African Department of Home Affairs is facing a battle of its own with recent revelations in the press over fraudulent identification documents.
The question lies what is being done to rectify this situation and whether better border management will contribute to increased tourism and trade in the SADC region. The open border agreement between five countries in Southern Africa has spurred much debate regarding the efficacy of border in promoting trade and tourism.
Are open borders the answer?
IQPC brings you BORDER CONTROL AFRICA 2007, a conference that brings together high-level delegates from law enforcement, security agencies, departments of home affairs, customs office, and other leading professional border control and management bodies. This event is scheduled for the 21 – 23 May 2007, addresses typical border security challenges in Southern Africa and beyond, featuring case studies and international perspectives on how to secure borders in the Sub-Saharan region

RiRi apparently sent the saucy treat to the star's house on her big day...
Adelereportedly celebrated her 24th birthday in style over the weekend - after receiving a birthday cake in the shape of a pair breasts from popstar pal, Rihanna.
According to The Sun, the Bajan babe sent Adele the pink iced boob sponge to her home in North London on Saturday (5th May), accompanying the treat with a saucy message, which RiRi later tweeted.
The Where Have You Been singer wrote on Twitter: "Happy Birthday to my lover, Adele" - followed by a topless snap of RiRi covering the iced breasts with her hands.
Rihanna then added: "To Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, the baddest b*tch around. Have the best freaking Bday. Cake cake cake xxx"
As well as receiving the cheeky cake from RiRi, the Rolling In The Deep singer reportedly spent her big day with boyfriend Simon Konecki - with The Sun reporting the couple drank boxes of wine with friends at her London pad.

This is not your Founders' Senate
Any conversation about the United States Senate inevitably ends in the same place: "When the Founders created the Senate," someone will explain, they created it in express agreement with the speaker's preference for the Senate's 2010 rulebook. As everyone knows, there's no principle that this country's revolutionary class loved better or revered more than respect for the status quo.
But if you really want to honor the Founders and return to the original Senate, you'd have start by getting rid of the filibuster. That was a loophole created when Aaron Burr persuaded the Senate to tighten its rulebook and, among other things, delete the "previous question motion." You'd also have to have state legislatures appoint each senator. That might be a good thing, however, as it at least allows you to sidestep the question of whether women and African Americans can vote and serve.
But no one seems to want to do that. They also don't want to go back to the Senate before 1917, when the filibuster was unbreakable, or before 1974, when there was no budget reconciliation process, or before 1975, when breaking a filibuster required 67 votes.
Which is fine. It might be that the Senate of 2010 is the perfect Senate. But it's not the Senate that the Founders created, and it's not a Senate that's been preserved in amber for the past 100 years. It's an institution in a continual state of flux. Going back to the Senate that the Founders envisioned would require a more radical series of reforms than anything currently being contemplated.

This won't do. This post is fine, but it's out of place. You need to reply to Krugman and acknowledge he is right that Ryan is a flimflammer and his deceits are deliberate and further that you will be very skeptical of any other policy ideas he puts forth.
You were wrong, and it was a serious misjudgment of character and Paul has done you a favour and set you straight. Be big enough to admit the mistake and learn from someone who has a pretty good track record of spotting frauds and charlatans.
This is a key moment Mr. Klein. Rise to it.

"he is right that Ryan is a flimflammer"
to scientician....
i personally hope that ryan is not called a flimflammer or charlatan.
calling someone names, insulting them, shutting down the dialogue doesnt usually work well in the real world...but i suppose it is great for venting in a comments section though, i guess.
in an interview, a person can express their beliefs, whether they are enlightening, honest, disingenuous, or whatever.
you think by calling him a charlatan or a flimflam man, it is going to result in his having a great epiphany, that his views are all wrong.
in fact, i think by insulting him, you will close down a chance for debate and conversation with one of the few reasonable individuals in the republican party now, and it would be a serious mistake. the more that paul ryan can be persuaded to sincerely engage in a civil discourse, the more possibility is, that his mind can be changed.
good luck, trying to insult and demean someone, and expecting them to be open to changing their mind, to their point of view.

A couple of interesting points.
First, continually repeating the Aaron Burr story purported as fact by one academic doesn't make the story factual. Scholars at Harvard noted "For many of the proceedings of the early Senate, as in the case of the early House, historians are dependent upon contemporary commentaries and upon private records left by the members. Debates in Congress were often scantily reported, and in the Senate they were secret until 1794. Not until 1873 did there originate the official Congressional Record, reporting verbatim speeches in both Houses." Burr gave his farewell address on March 2, 1805, and new Senate rules were recorded roughly one year later on March 26, 1806.
Second, the Previous question motion itself has existed in some form since Thursday, April 16, 1789 (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ll/llsj/001/0000/00110013.tif).
Third, since September 6, 1774 (during the First Continental Congress), each state has had equal suffrage and has had the ability to defer a vote on any matter: "[3] Resolved, That no question shall be determined the day, on which it is agitated and debated, if any one of the Colonies desire the determination to be postponed to another day." (see http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ll/lljc/001/0000/00250026.tif)
Finally, the Constitution's entrenched clause "that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate" essentially requires unanimity to change (or abolish) the Senate, preserving the rules put in place at the very beginning of the very first Continental Congress.
Perhaps this IS the Senate that was envisioned!

the founding fathers, the founding fathers.....
i dont have the background of rmgregory, in this discussion, but the hallowing of the letter of the law of the founding fathers, expecting that a framework they created, is going to give sufficiency in a world that is so reinvented, we could almost be different life forms, 2010, strikes me as bizarre.
they were microcosmal, by comparison, living on plantations, travelling by horse and wagon in the snow...no antibiotics....they were using spinning wheels....making their own soap and candles, with lofty ideals and slaves doing their work.
(much as is out of a california window today, with workers tending gardens in the heat, while others watch in air conditioning, critical of the pruning of the hedges.)
we dont use the same medicinals, transportation, infrastructure...almost nothing is the same.
of course, they needed to bear arms....they were living by candlelight, on the edges of forests.
sometimes, i wonder if the system of government we have, has taken us to this cul-de-sac now....
is it still working?
or is it reaching obsolescence in a completely transformed society? is it durable, relevant and flexible enough to be a framework in this day, and age?
i dont know. i just wonder about it, looking around at the morass we find ourselves in.

"Any conversation about the United States Senate inevitably ends in the same place: 'When the Founders created the Senate,' someone will explain, they created it in express agreement with the speaker's preference for the Senate's 2010 rulebook."
I concur with other posters who flag this as an exaggeration (or at least an imprecise framing of the issue). I have very frequent conversations about the nature of the Senate, and they never end with the claim that the Founders intended the Senate to operate as it currently does. When someone (who perhaps has qualms about changing the Senate into a strictly majoritarian body) says that the Founders intended the Senate to be more deliberative than the House, it does not necessarily follow that they are saying the Founders intended filibusters or other current supermajoritarian aspects of the Senate. (The Founders pretty clearly did not intend the filibuster, and few people knowledgable about the issue would claim they did.)
And incidentally, one can also agree that the Founders didn't intend/envision the filibuster, but also disagree that the abolishment of the previous question motion created the loophole that is responsible for the filibuster today. The Senate's previous question motion did not have the debate-ending qualities that (due to current House usage) we associate with it today, and while its retention theoretically could have led to its alternative development as a tool for a simple majority to end debate, such an institutional path was not inevitable. The point is that one need not accept the filibuster-as-Burr-induced-accident perspective (and some scholars do not) to believe that the Founders did not intend/expect the Senate of today.

"good luck, trying to insult and demean someone, and expecting them to be open to changing their mind, to their point of view."
You don't say that you disagree that he is a charlatan, just that we shouldn't call him one because then we won't change his mind. Unless you disagree that he is a liar I don't see how this is a tenable position. Even then it's not tenable, but that's for different reasons as Krugman laid out.
I don't expect to be able to change his mind. I think he has proven he is not arguing in good faith, nor with good intentions and therefore it is counterproductive to even engage him in debate except to the extent it prevents others (who are sincere) from falling for his deceits.
It's a big country and we don't need to convince every Paul Ryan to go along with us to implement a liberal agenda, we just need to make sure people don't listen to the Paul Ryans we have, and the best way to do that is to point out the disingenuous liars and stop treating them as credible actors.
That provides an incentive to any honest Republicans that may exist (something I doubt and I'm not being totally facetious) to come forward.
Treating liars like serious debating partners does the converse, and incents other mendacious actors to use similar tactics, sure in the knowledge that gullible liberals like Klein will take them seriously and waste time deciphering their coded language and pointing out their many errors as if these are sincere mistakes.
Posted by: Scientician | August 9, 2010 12:16 PM | Report abuse
I should amend the above, the reference to no honest Republicans is about the elected and other leaders of the party. I concede obviously that many ordinary Republicans are honest about their beliefs.
They're still wrong and are following a failed ideology (conservativism) but they are sincere.
I just think the Republican party as an institution is so completely sold out lock stock and barrel to the malefactors of great wealth that it is impossible to stay as a leader in the party and remain honest. You either sell out, or get kicked out, or quit.
It's just been taken over by sociopaths so to survive you either are a sociopath or act like one. Bob Inglis appears to be a good example of this. Defeated in a primary for things like accepting the reality of climate change and criticizing Glenn Beck.
I won't get into what's wrong with the Democratic party, it's deeply flawed too, but its problems pale in comparison to the other big party.

here is why i think it is a tenable position.
please take a moment to hear me out.
i know that our present culture is not about civility, good will, tact or manners.
but that is, in my opinion, becoming a huge problem in our culture.
people say cruel, insulting, inflammatory things at the drop of a hat.
it is not good.
it does harm to our culture, calling people flim flam men and charlatans. if you have a point to make, do it without making personal attacks on other people.
it doesnt help the culture. it doesnt help the debate.
sometimes, reading through comment sections, i think, some of these folks must be really unhinged, to express such outrageous cruelty, namecalling and hurtfulness.
i think that the kind of namecalling, tactlessness, cruelty that people openly, and spuriously express, is hurting all of us.
if you dont agree with paul ryan....fine....but you dont have to call a congressperson a flim flam man.
there is nothing to be gained by doing that.
i believe that there has to be some decency, some protocol in what we say and write to other people.
in a culture, where anything goes, the level of hatefulness, of meanspiritedness becomes a way of life....a way of expressing oneself.
i know that people hold disingenuous positions and do meanspirited things in politics and in personal life....but it doesnt help to lower our standards of dialogue to burning bridges, calling people names.....it takes away from the argument...it takes away from what children see and hear around them, it inflames passions in a bad way, it hurts other people and makes them close off from discussion, and it creates more ugliness and distemper in our world, that is already a place of great suffering for many in their public and private lives.
all i am saying is,
"just try to practice more kindness and civility....even when you are upset, even when people are acting unjustly.....deal with policy, make clearer arguments... try to elucidate your point of view better....but you dont have to resort to lowering the bar, by saying mean and insulting things.
honestly, it ends up lowering the bar,
and hurting all of us:-)
have a nice day:-) really.:-)

To build on jkaren, I think that you can say that Ryan's numbers don't add up, that his actions (including or not including assumptions about present and future taxation, spending, etc. in the document) are incorrect, but one doesn't need to defame the person.
Saying that a statement isn't true is not the same as screaming liar in their virtual face.
Posted by: srw3 | August 9, 2010 4:23 PM | Report abuse
jKaren I appreciate your concern for the quality of the societal debate. However, does lying meet your definition of incivility? Because Ryan is lying to you when he makes claims about the deficit reduction in his roadmap while relying on a deliberately slanted CBO scoring of it. Do you really argue that one must be civil to the point of failing to point out lies when they are told?
No, I value civility, but decency is far more important. Lying to sell a monstrous plan that will hurt millions to benefit thousands is uncivil but truly indecent.
Worse I fear a strategy of decency at all costs only encourages more lying and liars since they pay little price for dishonesty when caught, and can gain much when it works.
Posted by: Scientician | August 9, 2010 5:39 PM | Report abuse
Srw3, I can appreciate jkaren's dedication to civility more than your position which is simply unsupportable.
Ryan's actions are not just "incorrect" they are deeply dishonest and designed to fool people. He got the CBO to only score half of his proposal, and use an absurd assumption for the revenue side, when the tax changes in his plan are substantial. Then he is touting the plan as scored by the CBO (giving it credibility) and bragging about its deficit reducing abilities without informing the audience that the CBO did not actually score that part.
This isn't incidental, nor some side-issue that amounts to a rounding error, it's core to the whole claim he makes.
Yes, it's mathematically possible that this really is a colossal mistake or oversight missed by Ryan and his staff, but this isn't a court of law and we're not going to get him and his staff on the stand about it to make a legal determination of fact. So we must judge what he is about, and I find his ethics wanting. Beyond a reasonable doubt. The error is too serious and core to his claims and he has every motive to misrepresent his plan this way.
It also isn't enough to merely point out his statements are not true. Much of the societal policy debate happens in sound bites on cable news shows or recaps of congressional debate, where competing claims are made. Credibility matters. Viewers and voters need to know they cannot trust this man and to be more skeptical of his claims. In a perfect world we would check the details of every claim, but none of us have time for that, so many claims are taken at face value.
So the integrity of the participants matters, and moreover, our awareness of their integrity (or lack of) matters.
Finally as I said to jkaren, if you won't call out liars you just encourage more lying, since being told politely your egregious lie is "incorrect" is not much of a disincentive to telling whopping lies when they so often work.

"I appreciate your concern for the quality of the societal debate. However, does lying meet your definition of incivility?"
lying is reprehensible.
lack of character is destroying our government.
but incivility is also a dangerous thing to lose in society.
honesty, character and civility are all important.
there are ways to hold an interview, a conversation without calling someone "a charlatan" or a "flimflam man," to their face.
i think civility matters.
in a public conversation, i think it is better to attack the idea, rather than the person.
i am of the belief that if there was a little more restraint and cooler heads prevailing, and less rage and incendiary dialogue vomiting all over us, (and that is what it feels like these days) we might be better off than we are now.

Many people are forced to sleep outside due to over crowding in Bentiu IDP camp, South Sudan Friday, July 4, 2014. Photo: Matthew Abbot/AP
Bentiu, South Sudan — Every day, hundreds of women living at the United Nations base in Bentiu risk rape so they can feed their children.
Some 40,000 people shelter here from South Sudan's civil war, and there is not enough food or charcoal. The women of this camp have taken on the job of foraging for firewood and vegetables outside the perimeter – since men in the camp have been shot on sight by lurking local soldiers who suspect them of being militants.
But leaving the compound means the women walk into the same zone of conflict. While some UN workers are pushing to get simple food and firewood delivered, they also point out that donor aid is lagging.
"They can rape me or kill me," says 'Anne,' who sells home-brewed alcohol to the soldiers outside, earning about $5 each time that she uses to buy milk and soup packets for her three children. "But my children don't have good food to eat so I have to go out." Read more…

Primary Update: Spinning California 50 and More
House Republicans avoided a major headache last night as former Rep. Brian Bilbray (R) beat back a surprisingly strong challenge from Democrat Francine Busby to win the special election in California's 50th District.
Bilbray took 49.5 percent to Busby's 45 percent in a race that drew national attention following the resignation of Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who admitted last fall to taking several million dollars worth of bribes from a defense contractor.
The race, which was initially expected to be a slam dunk for Republicans, turned into a nip-and-tuck affair thanks to a toxic local and national political environment for the GOP.
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.) painted the race as a sign that the much-discussed national Democratic wave is simply not building.
"The results in San Diego show that nothing has happened to alter the notion that House elections are about a choice between local personalities focused on local issues," said Reynolds, whose organization spent nearly $5 million to ensure Bilbray's victory.
Democrats sought to paint the loss as a moral victory, a sign that they can compete even in districts that are heavily tilted to Republicans. Party officials also noted that the NRCC will not be able to spend $5 million in every competitive race in the country come November.
While the California special election was the marquee race on the ballot yesterday, it was far from the only one worth watching in the Golden State.
State Treasurer Phil Angelides used the support from the Democratic Party establishment and organized labor to eke out a 48 percent to 44 percent victory in the gubernatorial primary over state Controller Steve Westly, who spent tens of millions of his own money on the race. Angelides's victory improves Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R) chances at reelection in the fall, as he's a traditional liberal with little natural charisma..
Staying in California, 11th District Rep. Richard Pombo easily defeated former Rep. Pete McCloskey in a Republican primary race that the challenger sought to turn into a referendum on ethics. Pombo will face 2004 nominee Jerry McNerney, who crushed airline pilot Steve Filson -- the candidate endorsed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
In Montana, state Sen. Jon Tester walloped state Auditor John Morrison for the right to take on Sen. Conrad Burns (R) in the fall. Tester took 61 percent to 35 percent for Morrison, a stunning rebuke to the one-time frontrunner whose campaign was beset by revelations about an extramarital affair. Burns is one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the country.
Iowa Secretary of State Chet Culver won a competitive, three-way Democratic primary to claim his party's gubernatorial nomination. Culver moves on to face Rep. Jim Nussle (R) in the fall -- a toss-up contest. In the state's eastern 1st District, which Nussle is vacating to run for governor, former Iowa Trial Lawyers Association president Bruce Braley (D) and restaurant owner Mike Whalen (R) won their respective primaries. Braley starts the general election with an edge thanks to the Democratic underpinnings of the district.
Alabama Gov. Bob Riley easily defeated former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore in the Republican primary, while Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley won by a larger-than-expected margin over former Gov. Don Siegelman on the Democratic side. Riley is the favorite in the fall.
Elsewhere, New Jersey Assemblyman Albio Sires easily won the Democratic primary in the 13th District and will be a heavy favorite this fall, while in Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson defeated state Rep. Chuck Espy in a somewhat competitive Democratic primary race.
Stay tuned for more analysis later today.

When the world celebrates known wine destinations, France and Italy pop up to the top of the list, and for good reason. From the uber-expensive-yet-striking Bordeaux and the likes of a Chateau Margaux to the sumptuous and affordable "Super Tuscan" wines of Livorno, what's not to love about these two wine locales?
As phenomenal as France and Italy's wine regions are, there are several other Adegas, Cantinas and Bodega milieus around the globe worth experiencing; from the wine route of Croatia to artisan wine makers in Tasmania, to Spain's La Rioja region, here's a list of wine destinations around the globe worth venturing to.
La Rioja Region/Northern Spain
Head south from Bilbao and you'll run into the La Rioja region in Northern Spain, synonymous for Spanish wines and known internationally for being the country's premier wine-producing location.
Samaniego, Laguardia, Elciego and Labastida are some of the towns on the Rioja Alavesa wine route, leading travelers into the Bodegas of Valdelana, Palacio, Primicia, San Pedro and Vallobera. Ábalos, another small village in the Sonsierra area of La Rioja, is a perfect starting point for exploring these tiny villages dotted with vineyards and wineries complete with a picturesque backdrop of the Sierra Cantabria Mountain Range.

Keep Young Scholars Focused with a Homework Station
Homework is an unavoidable part of every child's life. Some embrace it, most bemoan it, but all must do it. If your child is likely to benefit from a bit more focus and a watchful eye, and if you are likely to benefit from a more organized student, a homework station may be just what your home needs.
A common organizational challenge of families with school-age kids is how to keep schoolwork from taking over every available horizontal surface. We featured a few ideas on homework caddies not too long ago but this elegant solution for older students at Simplify by Sara recently caught our eye. Her daughter was having a tough time with the transition to middle school and her grades were suffering as a result. Staying true to her style, Sara kept it simple by creating a focused and organized area for homework which is in the open and out from behind the closed doors of her daughter's bedroom.
Having everything at hand (in two very cool vintage wooden boxes) and creating a new after-school routine is paying off already--her daughter recently scored 104% on an English exam. Nicely done!

A judge has ordered Rep. Darrell Issa to pay his opponent from last year's election more than $45,000 in legal expenses fees incurred during a defamation lawsuit.
In November, Issa, a Vista Republican, sued Democrat Doug Applegate over attack commercials the congressman said hurt his reputation. In March, a judge said that Issa didn't prove his case, but also sided with Applegate who argued that he was exercising his free speech rights with the television commercials, and that Issa's lawsuit was an attempt to silence criticism.
Now the judge has ordered Issa to reimburse Applegate, his campaign, and campaign manager Robert Dempsey. According to the June decision, Issa must pay $42,500 in attorney fees and another $2,842 in legal costs the defendants incurred while protecting themselves against Issa' lawsuit.
Issa's attorney, Chuck Bell, said they are appealing the decision, and that they disagree with some of the judge's assessments, including a determination that the ads, which were based on newspaper articles Issa disputes, were true.
The defendants had initially asked the court to order Issa to give them $138,188 to pay their attorneys, but after Issa appealed in May, Superior Court Judge Richard Strauss said that some of Applegate's lawyers' work was excessive and that the court will not order the full payment requested.
"While high profile in nature, since the parties were a sitting United State (sic) Congressman and his congressional opponent, the legal issues were not particularly novel or complex. In addition, a number of tasks billed appear unnecessary or exceptionally high for the work performed," Strauss wrote in a June 16 decision.
The television commercials aired in Orange and San Diego counties in advance of last year's election. One of the spots used parts of an article from The New York Times that was headlined "A Businessman in Congress Helps his District and Himself" that Issa has disputed ever since it was published in August 2011.
In the lawsuit, Issa complained that one of Applegate's commercial had a line that did not appear in the original article that would cause people to falsely conclude that he had used his official position to enrich himself.
"It basically implied that it was the speech of the newspapers, not that of the (Applegate) campaign's design. And that's where the statements were false and not privileged," Bell said.
Strauss said Issa failed to prove Applegate's claim was wrong, noting that the congressman's wealth had increased during his tenure in office. Bell said that the court took an "overly broad" focus when determining the truth of the ads.
Issa said the other commercial had misleading statements about his voting record, and misrepresented a newspaper quote to falsely accuse Issa of opposing help for the victims, first responders, and others harmed by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In this instance, the judge said that Issa didn't prove that the statements in Applegate's ad were untrue, and he noted that Issa did vote against a bill that would have provided health care to first responders.
He said the quotes used in the 9/11 ad were "substantially true."
In March, the court found that Issa's lawsuit violated Applegate's free speech right, a decision that made the congressman responsible for expenses the defendants incurred while arguing their case.
Issa insists the ads are wrong.
"Seen the false and misleading ads?" a scrolling banner on his website said Friday afternoon. "Get the facts."
Besides Applegate, attorney Mike Levin and businessman Paul Kerr, are also running against Issa in 2018. All are Democrats. Issa was re-elected last year after defeating Applegate by 1,621 votes, the closest congressional race in the country.

CIP station CIP-201 with an usable volume of 1×200 liters is used for cleaning, sanitation and sterilization of vessels and pipes in the brewery. This type of the CIP station is recommended for cleaning and sanitation of tanks with volume from 0 to 6000 liters.
CIP unit 1×200 liters with neutralizing vessel
Its function is based on a circulation of alkaline or acid solution through a sanitary shower, which sprays it onto the walls of a vessel and also into its space. It is also equipped with a flowheater with a digital regulation of temperatures ranging from 0°C to 80°C.
The CIP consists of one main tank for alkaline or acid solution and one vessel used for a neutralization of the solutions. The circulation of the sanitary solutions is provided by a pump and a system of connecting hoses.
Functions of the vessels (2):
- Alkaline/Acid vessel for cleaning-sanitation of all brewery equipment
- Neutralizing vessel for a neutralization of acid or alkaline solution before they pour into the drain
The equipment CIP-201 is installed in a rigid frame provided by lockable wheels. Used material is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) or 1.4404 (AISI 316) according of selected variant. The container is not insulated.
Description of the cleaning-sanitizing cycle
The cleaning-sanitizing cycle usually consists of these steps :
- Pre-rinse – rinsing the production equipment using cold or hot water.
- Cleaning – cleaning the production equipment using circulating hot water.
- Rinse – a proper rinse of the production equipment using cold or hot water.
- Chemical disinfection (sanitation) – washing the technology using alkaline or acidic sanitizing solution at the desired concentration.
- Rinse – a proper rinse of the production equipment using cold or hot water.
- Neutralization – is performed after a termination of several cleaning and sanitizing cycles – it mixes alkaline and then acidic sanitizing solution to achieve a neutral pH of the solution and then releases them into to the drain.

- Version CIP-201-316 : All parts are made from stainless steel AISI 316.
Why to use the CIP for cleaning and sanitation of the brewery equipment ?
Advantages of our CIP stations compared to the simple cleaning and sanitatizing technology with a pump:
- Saves preliminary work: Sanitizing solutions are always prepared in the CIP containers and they are available in a desired dilution for several cleaning and sanitizing cycles. Their preparation before each cleaning and sanitizing cycle is not needed.
- Increases work safety: Limiting the frequency of sanitizing solution preparations reduces the chance of burn of the operator while handling with the concentrated acids and alkalies.
- Saves time and energy needed for cleaning and sanitizing: A continual heating of cleaning and sanitizing solution during the cleaning and sanitation cycles and keeping them at a prescribed temperature increases considerably the efficiency of cleaning and sanitation, it leads to a time-saving service of the equipment and electricity – the cleaning process and the operations of pumps take significantly less time.
- High efficiency of cleaning and sanitation: Compared to the sanitation carried out by a simple circulation pump – while using the CIP unit there is still the same temperature of the sanitizing solution during the whole CIP cycle. Cleaning and sanitation, which is carried out by hot solutions is definitely more effective than the same process arranged by cold solutions, and therefore, the vessels and the equipment are perfectly clean after sanitizing and washing cycle and they also get rid off organic and other dirt, which is in the brewing operations an essential condition for the hygienic requirements.
- Simple neutralization of acids and alkalies after by using: The neutralizing vessel (a part of the CIP station) allows easily, safely and completely neutralization of used acidic and alkaline sanitizing solution before pouring into the channel. It fully complies the requirements of law to protect the environment and prevents damages which may happen to drain systems and other components. Furthermore, it increases the safety while handling with the solution or when washing or sanitizing.

UPDATE, 2:54 p.m. ET: Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Magic have ended all trade talks for Dwight Howard. Stay tuned to NBA.com for more on this story.
* * *
– For the latest updates check out: NBA.com's Free Agent Tracker
HANG TIME NEW JERSEY BUREAU — Could Dwight Howard be traded before Chris Paul? A few days ago, the answer would have been "no way." But with Paul talks in somewhat of a holding pattern, the Howard rumors reached a fever pitch in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports has the report…
Talks between the Orlando Magic and New Jersey Nets for a Dwight Howard blockbuster trade have gathered momentum over the past several days, and the framework of a possible four-team deal has taken shape, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Front office sources say Nets general manager Billy King has aggressively pursued the necessary players and picks to try and satisfy Orlando's demands for Howard, one of the league's most dominating and popular players.
New Jersey and Orlando are working toward a core deal that would send center Brook Lopez and another significant player obtained elsewhere to the Magic for Howard and Hedo Turkoglu, sources said.
The Magic are listening, but there is still real doubt about their willingness to completely give up hope on convincing Howard to re-sign with them after he opts out of his contract in July. Howard has been willing to sign extensions with the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks, but the Nets' future in Brooklyn has been most intriguing to him.
What other teams could be involved? You would have to imagine they'd be in the Western Conference, where GMs would have motivation to keep Howard in the East and away from the Los Angeles Lakers.
In fact, a surprising candidate is involved in the talks, according to Marc Stein and Chad Ford over at ESPN.com:
The New Jersey Nets have entered into serious talks with the Orlando Magic on a multiteam trade scenario that would bring Dwight Howard to the Nets, according to sources close to the process.
Sources told ESPN.com that the most active proposal discussed by the teams would send Portland Trail Blazers swingman Gerald Wallace to the Magic along with Nets center Brook Lopez as two of the main pieces Orlando would receive in exchange for Howard.
As part of such a trade, which could be expanded to include a fourth team, sources say Orlando would also shed the long-term contracts of Hedo Turkoglu and Chris Duhon — both absorbed by New Jersey — while also potentially receiving future draft considerations.
Other players would have to be added to the deal to make the salary-cap math work, but sources said Portland would receive multiple first-round picks as part of the exchange for surrendering Wallace and facilitating the trade.
Yet it remains to be seen if the Brooklyn-bound Nets can convince the Magic to indeed go through with trading Howard before the season starts. Earlier this week, one source familiar with the Magic's thinking insisted to ESPN.com that they were not yet prepared to trade Howard away, clinging to the hope that he can be talked into staying.
Howard himself is known for changing his views on the matter on a near-daily basis, torn by his desire to move to a more glamorous market like Brooklyn or Los Angeles and the prospect of staying with the team that drafted him and delivering the championship to Orlando that Shaquille O'Neal could not.
One source said that the Nets were moving "aggressively" in their pursuit of Howard after Nene — New Jersey's top free-agent target — agreed to terms Tuesday night on a five-year, $67 million deal to return to the Denver Nuggets.
Could a blockbuster involving the second-best player in the league go down before the season starts? That's Orlando's decision, but a deal would be much easier to pull off before the Nets spend money on free agents, even if they're only handing out one-year deals to preserve their 2012 cap space.
