GG 1082/S/7HF/HD Ophthalmic Glasses
GG 1082/S is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square frame is a classical shape, highlighting the straightforwardness of the personality. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The GG 1082/S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour gold is absolutely hip in 2016. This Gucci lends any outfit a certain something. With gold, darker skin types can never go wrong. The fact that the colour grey matches everything, also applies to sunglass lenses. They suit everything in your wardrobe and never go out of fashion. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. Since this model is presently in the sale, it is more affordable than ever to treat yourself to an exclusive designer model.

The case of a baby girl who was allegedly buried alive in the state of Uttar Pradesh has shocked many Indians, as the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports.
Inside a filthy paediatric ward at a government hospital in Meerut, a short drive from Delhi, two-month old Radhika lies quietly on a bed.
Incredibly frail and weak, she is connected to an intravenous drip and her stomach is distended.
"She's suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration," says the doctor attending to her.
But she is incredibly lucky...
Indian baby girl saved.

Indian baby girl saved.
Remember that a thought is only the fleeting conjunction of myriad factors and circumstances. It does not exist by itself. When a thought arises, recognize its empty nature. It will immediately loose its power to elicit the next thought. And the chain of delusion will be broken. ~~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The Asia week series of auctions at
New York concluded today with the South Asian Art sale which made $7,547,250 to bring the overall total for the week to $27,649,251 well within the $ 21.9/31.2 million estimate. The sales stated on Tuesday with the Joe Grimberg Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles which brought $4,931,626 and was 83% sold by lot. The Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale the following day fetched $15,170,375 and South Asian Art today totaled $7,547,250 and was $72% sold by lot.
Indian and South Asian Art
Zara Porter Hill, International Head of Indian Art at Sothebys said: The vibrancy of the Indian art market returned to Sothebys in this sale. Paintings from the 18th century to the latest contemporary art achieved exceptional prices with a number of artist records being set. The result far exceeded the low estimate and was a validation of our strategy. This focuses on carefully curated and strategically estimated high quality sales, and these have produced this years consistently strong sell through rates. Competitive international bidding resulted in more than half the sold lots achieving prices in excess of the high estimate. The highlight of the sale was undoubtedly the group of works by MF Husain which was led by Cinq Sens which sold for $782,500 exceeding the $500/700,000 estimate. The four records set today come on top of the three achieved earlier in the year to round off an exceptional year for the department.
In addition to Cing Sens a number of other MF Husain paintings achieved strong prices including That Obscure Object of Desire, Diptych which fetched $482,500 (est. $400/600,000) and Untitled (Benares) which sold for $362,500 (est. $300/500,000). Further highlights included two contemporary paintings that sold for many times pre-sale expectations - Bhupen Khakhars Muslims Around a Mosque II, 2001 which fetched $650,500 to set a new record for the artist at auction (est. $150/250,000) and Munna Apa's Garden by Arpita Singh which sold for $506,500 also a new artist record (est. $100/150,000). An additional highlight was the world record price for An Illustration from a Gita Govinda series: Radha proceeds to her Tryst with Krishna from 1780 which fetched $290,500 (est. $150/250,000).
Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art
Dr. Caroline Schulten, Sothebys Head of Chinese Works of Art said: This weeks sale saw enthusiastic bidding and strong prices across a range of different categories from porcelain and jades, to furniture and paintings. Collectors from around the world often raised the bidding to multiples of the high estimate in order to secure the very best works. We are delighted with the total of $15,170,375 which exceeded the high estimate. The highlight of the sale was a superb 'Ge' Octagonal Vase (Ba Fanghu) which soared above the high estimate to fetch $1,762,500 (est. $400/600,000). Among the paintings on offer, Yao Shoos 'Landscape With Boats' more than doubled the upper estimate to sell for $1,082,500 (est. $300/500,000) and An Important Imperial Painting From The Set Of Seventeen Paintings Commemorating The Victories Over The Muslim Rebellion sold for $992,500 (est. $120/150,000). Among many strong prices for jades in the sale was A Magnificent Jadeite Bird-Shaped Vessel and Cover, Late Qing Dynasty which sold for $632,500 more than ten times the high estimate.
The Joe Grimberg Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles
Henry Howard-Sneyd, Sothebys Vice Chairman, Asian Art said: The success of the Joe Grimberg Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles is a testament to the discerning taste of Mr. Grimberg. Collectors from around the world responded well to this refined and focused collection made up of the finest examples of snuff bottles in a range of different materials, from enamels and glass to hardstones and jade. The sale brought a total of $4,931,626, comfortably within the estimate, and was 83% sold by lot and 90% by value. The highlight of the collection was An Enamel On Copper Snuff Bottle, Imperial, Palace Workshops, Beijing, Qianlong Mark And Period (1736-1795) which doubled the low estimate to sell for $662,500 (est. $250/350,000). The superb bottle would possibly have been owned by the Qianlong emperor who was known for his fascination with European Culture.

BRISBANE, Calif. and BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CollabNet® (www.collab.net), the global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM, and UC4 Software (www.uc4.com), the leader in IT Process Automation, have entered into a strategic partnership to help IT organizations achieve enterprise DevOps at scale. The companies will jointly develop, market, sell and support a comprehensive end-to-end DevOps platform. The joint offering provides the automation, scalability and governance enterprises need to bring development and IT Operations closer together to deliver software faster and reduce IT costs.
For CollabNet, the key component of this combined solution embeds UC4's Application Release Automation functionality within CollabNet's TeamForge Agile ALM platform, introducing a new deployment automation offering called "CollabNet Deploy with UC4" to its customers and prospects. This new product offering provides the bridge between the industry's leading Agile ALM platform from CollabNet and the industry's leading IT automation platform from UC4. For UC4, the addition of TeamForge to the UC4 IT automation platform offers a complete, end-to-end development through IT operations solution for its customers and prospects. These combined solutions comprise an Enterprise DevOps platform that will automate the entire development-through-deployment process across a range of on-premise and external clouds – including code, build, test, release, deployment and IT automation – to achieve continuous, reliable application releases at scale.
"This partnership supports our mutual goals of driving agility and collaboration across the entire IT organization as we now offer a single, common platform that manages all aspects of emerging DevOps and Continuous Delivery initiatives," said Jason Liu, CEO for UC4. "Software is the lifeblood of market competitiveness and organizational success, and our joint DevOps platform is a solution our customers want as they move to automate the entire application code, build, release and deployment lifecycle. CollabNet enables Agile and governed enterprise-wide deployment like no other solution on the market – they were a natural selection to be our partner for this transformational industry opportunity."
As DevOps and Continuous Delivery gain traction and adoption increases, IT organizations need strong governance, cross-team coordination and traceability to succeed and scale these initiatives across the enterprise. CollabNet Deploy with UC4 includes the core technology of UC4 embedded within TeamForge to form a unified platform that provides complete cross-function data and workflow automation, integrated reporting, lifecycle traceability and the ability to gain real-time visibility across roles, projects, departments and geographies. Through a single-pane-of-glass interface, IT organizations can now automate and streamline the entire application development, build and deployment lifecycle to improve software agility, productivity and team collaboration.
"We are thrilled to see the powerful characteristics that make TeamForge the leading choice for managing large-scale development programs extend deeper into IT operations," said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO for CollabNet. "DevOps is following a similar adoption and maturity model as Agile development and cloud computing did a few years ago. Combined with UC4, we are bringing to market a platform that significantly evolves modern software development and deployment."
CollabNet's TeamForge ALM platform transforms enterprise application development through its unique community architecture approach to Agile ALM. It is used by hundreds of enterprises to simplify and manage the growing complexity of faster release cycles, global distributed teams, and the hybrid use of processes, tools and clouds. UC4's Application Release Automation platform automates and orchestrates all activities involved in application deployment and operations, allowing for different environments, owners and processes to work in unison.
CollabNet Deploy with UC4 helps improve:
- Productivity and Agility: Transforms cumbersome and manual application deployments of build, test, staging and production software/hardware images into fully governed, Lean and efficient automated processes that now take minutes instead of hours or days.
- Compliance and Governance: Automates end-to-end tracking of all deployment-related changes and delivers detailed reporting on deployment status, change activity and the segregation of duties for strategic planning and efficient execution.
- Efficiency and Cost Savings: Greatly reduces the risk of capital and brand-damaging losses by eliminating deployment-related outages, as well as saves on resources needed to configure, deploy and fix defects.
UC4 and CollabNet will demonstrate the new CollabNet Deploy with UC4 solution at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. To learn more or request a demo please visit www.collab.net/deploy.

DeVry CEO Looks Abroad After Hard Tests
It's been a rough year and a half for Daniel Hamburger, chief executive of for-profit college operator DeVry Inc. DV -0.22 %
In June 2010, the U.S. Department of Education recommended a series of rules, such as restrictions on incentive pay for recruiters, that investors feared could undermine the industry. At the same time, a U.S. Senate committee launched hearings on the cost to taxpayers of allowing for-profit institutions to receive federally funded student aid.
Since then, DeVry's market value fell by nearly one-third.
But Mr. Hamburger, a 47-year-old graduate of the University of Michigan with a Harvard M.B.A., says things are slowly starting to look up for the company, which operates 99 bricks-and-mortar locations as well as online, now that the regulations have been implemented or announced.
Despite weak enrollments at its namesake university, the Downers Grove, Ill.-based company's revenue is continuing to grow thanks to a diverse portfolio of educational programs, which range from certificates in medical billing to MBAs.
Mr. Hamburger, who took over the top spot at DeVry in 2006, spoke with The Wall Street Journal about his plans for global expansion, the cost of tuition and why enrollments are so low.
Edited excerpts:
WSJ: DeVry University saw undergraduate new-student enrollments down more than 25% this summer. Why?
Mr. Hamburger: The rate of unemployment is persisting for so long that the psychology of the average American has become very, very skittish. Fear has taken over.
We're seeing the consumer not make a lot of commitments that would seem to be rational: Mortgage rates are at all-time lows, house prices are at all-time lows in many markets, yet they're not buying. It would be unreasonable for us to think that higher education is any different, or is immune from that.
[Customers] know the value is there. They know it's the right thing to do, they know that education is the key to earnings potential. That's the head talking, but the heart and the gut are saying, 'I'm just going to defer that decision until I see things get a little better.'
WSJ: Who are your main competitors? If students choose not to go to DeVry, where would they go?
Mr. Hamburger: We survey those who have inquired with the university and didn't enroll. Only about 10% report that they attended another private-sector college or university. People are sometimes surprised to learn that most of the competition is the state schools.
WSJ: How does DeVry stack up against state schools on pricing?
Mr. Hamburger: [In Illinois] it's about $15,000 [in tuition and fees] per academic year for a DeVry University bachelor's degree. University of Illinois [at Urbana-Champaign], in-state, is about $12,000; out-of-state is about $25,000. [According to the University of Illinois, tuition and fees total $14,414 for in-state students and $28,556 for out-of-state students.] We tend to be lower than the out-of-state tuition, or the independent colleges' tuition, but a little bit more than the in-state tax-subsidized tuition.
Our state schools don't have the capacity to educate all the adults who need to get a degree. DeVry University campuses in California have reported to me that they hear new students come in all the time [and say], 'I went to the state school and they told me don't even think about graduating in four years because you're just not going to get the classes that you want, it's going to be five, maybe six years.' Yes, it's more expensive per academic year to go to DeVry University than the Cal States, but if I can get out in three or even four years instead of hanging around for five or six, what's the full cost? It's actually not that much more—and I'm earning in that fifth and sixth year.
WSJ: You have an operation in Brazil and a number of schools throughout the U.S., and you just bought American University of the Caribbean this summer. What's next?
Mr. Hamburger: Our diversification is across three dimensions: Curriculum, the levels of education, and geographic. What's next may be more geographic. [Nearly] 15% of our revenues are outside the United States. In Brazil there's just a huge need for what we do.
What's next is Asia, in particular India. Again, a huge need. Many of the universities there are very traditional, [with] rote and theoretical learning. They're not practical, career-focused learning. Many employers tell us that the graduates are virtually unemployable.
The local companies and the multinationals have giant internal training functions to get the qualified work force that they need.
WSJ: Would you be partnering with the companies to do a custom education program?
Mr. Hamburger: We see the opportunity to grow from our base in exam review and professional education. [Devry's] Becker [Professional Education] has been there since 1997 to running private colleges and then also running corporate training.

It must be quite something to be inside the Walt Havenstein for NH Governor campaign. They've got every political resource known, market analysis, pinpoint analysts the capability to amass money and the support of the well established political elite in New Hampshire.
The one thing that this campaign is missing: a clear shot to win.
The primary is over and as one of the 19% that actually voted in this state I still don't have a clear idea as to what Walt wants to do if he is elected. Whether this is the state budget or even the controversial Northern Pass and the towers that will march to the sea.
This is one of the problems in being surrounded by 'experts' and establishment. They might actually be analyzing themselves right out the market; or at least an alternative to Gov. Hassan and the power of incumbency that will do well with a low voter turnout in the general election which, with a 30% statewide turnout will be more than stunning.

Macrofauna Associated With Sponge Species of Different Morphology
Abstract. The macrofaunas associated with the three morphologically different North Aegean Sea sponge species Agelas oroides, Aplysina aerophoba, and Axinella cannabina were compared. The faunal abundance was not related to sponge surface area for any of the three species. Each sponge species supported a significantly different number of individuals per unit canal volume; A. aerophoba supported the most, A. oroides the least. A. aerophoba supported the highest species richness, A. cannabina the lowest. Canal volume was a good predictor of associated faunal abundance and species richness for two of the three sponge species. Faunal abundance was also directly related to sponge mean canal diameter. The species composition of associated fauna was similar on A. aerophoba and A. oroides and significantly different on A. cannabina.

Console application for MTAPI
No, this is still not the power measurement post. Richard will get around to it soon, honest.
We spend a lot of time playing around with TI's CC2538 Zigbee chip running Z-Stack, which means that we spend a lot of time programming other embedded chips to talk TI's Monitor and Test API serial protocol to it. Needless to say, debugging at more than one CPU's remove can be a tedious exercise, and there's nothing (that I know about, at least) that will allow you to talk MTAPI to a CC2538 from your nice, comfortable Linux development environment.
Enter MTConsole, in the http://github.com/kynesim/MTConsole repository. In a fit of enthusiasm, and a strong desire to be able to script tests, I've put together a Python program to translate to and from MTAPI. It is limited at the moment, and some areas are, to be blunt, not very pretty. It falls over with an exception on a parse error, for example, because that was what I wanted when testing the parser. That will get visited with fire and the sword when it first annoys me in real use.
So far I've put a lot of effort into parsing binary input (from the CC2538) into text, and not much into parsing text into MTAPI commands. That will be changing as I need more commands (fire and the sword, people), but at the moment it's not useful for much more than proving that your chip is up and talking to the outside world. Useful as that is, I would eventually like to get to the point where I can script it well enough to mock up complex command sequences.
Please feel free to grab and use as the mood takes you. Patches, bug reports, comments and suggestions are always welcome, just bring your own sword.

Hacking Wireshark for fun and profit
We've been working on some low-power Zigbee sensors recently, based on CC2538 / ZStack 1.2.2 and running Zigbee HA 1.2.1 ; whilst we were doing this it occurred to us that Wireshark could usefully decode a few more of the IAS Zigbee messages into something useful.
So we did that.
It also turns out that some of our clients (and compliance test houses) use the very nice Ubiqua protocol analyser tool
However, we are a Wireshark shop.
Step up Vadim
- Better decoding for Zigbee IAS messages - from Rhodri James.
- Support for CUBX, TI SmartRF Studio and Ember Insight Desktop file formats as per Vadim's patch.
- Support for more recent Ubiqua 3 file formats (at least, on the traces I have here).
- A nasty backdoor mechanism so that you can decode Ubiqua traces which don't contain the TC key transport packet in the trace (Ubiqua stashes this in a separate table, and we pass it round the back to the Zigbee packet dissector).
One day I will get around to trying to push this lot upstream, but I suspect we will want a better way to do the backdoor key transport than the ugly hack I have in there at the moment.
Anyway, if you feel minded, grab it, enjoy and do report any bugs you come across (and I will do another post on power measurement for low-power radio, honest).

It's been a while ..
- The venerable tstools and muddle.
- Our local variants of ccsniffpiper - a program which allows you to sniff Zigbee with a TI CC2531 USB dongle, and wireshark - which contains some patches from Rhodri that help decode Zigbee HA IAS ACE commands in a more friendly way.
- The current version of kbus - still 10% the size of kdbus :-)
- upc2 - an easy to use, easy to cross-compile, terminal program that can speak xmodem and Andrew Gordon's semi-proprietory grouch protocol.

Changing the "theme" in Enthought Traits UI with Qt as the backend
The specific issue, though, is that we've moved to using pyside/Qt4 as the GUI backend, instead of wx(Python) - enabled, for instance, by doing:
from traits.etsconfig.api import ETSConfig
ETSConfig.toolkit = 'qt4'
except ValueError:
Some things are done a little bit differently with the Qt backend, though, and it's not always obvious how. In particular, traits UI has always allowed "theming", and the normal way to do this with the traditional wx backend is using something like:
from traitsui.api import Theme
Item('move_to_loading_area_btn', item_theme=Theme('@std:BE5')),
(note that this is not the syntax for the item_theme argument shown in the documentation, that doesn't seem to work - so this is also "a useful reference").
This doesn't work with the Qt backend. It turns out that the way to do it is to specify a Qt stylesheet, which can be done as a string:
Item('move_to_loading_area_btn', style_sheet='* { color: red }'),
Useful Qt references are then:
- http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-syntax.html
- http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-reference.html#list-of-properties

Ambient backscatter radio
On the other hand, if their aerials can be made smaller, they could reflect WiFi signals, which have much higher local intensities than distant TV transmitters and whose reflection characteristics are fairly well known thanks to all the folk doing diversity with them.
I wonder if a semi-intelligent aerial which spots beacon frames in h/w is a good thing to have - on the one hand, it provides a known timing reference for the receiver to try and wake up to, but on the other you will have all of the distance-related wakeup window issues.
The other thing one can do over the UW study in a home hub environment is, of course, to have a pulsed interrogation transmitter - notably if you operate in 868MHz or 2.4GHz that transmitter can be on the same frequency as your ambient radio, so you can work in a wait_for_reflect-pulse-wait_for_result mode, which allows you to get quite high power intensities without interfering too much with WiFi (particularly if you are listening to the WiFi and know when its slots are).
This (in some form) is obviously the right technology for things like window sensors - now you only need to change batteries in one room, not one every sensor.
Anyway, have a link - it's an interesting read: http://abc.cs.washington.edu/files/comm153-liu.pdf

Muddle v2.5.1 - change in how "muddle pull" works
If "muddle pull" is given a command line that includes the build description (implicitly or explicitly), it will pull the build description first, and if that pull changed things, will reload the build description and re-evaluate the command line, before pulling the other checkouts requested.
This means that you no longer need to check if "muddle pull" changed the build description and then do it again if it did.
See "muddle help pull" for a more complete description.
If you do want the old behaviour, use "muddle pull -noreload".
As a consequence of this change, the "_just_pulled" value is now set by "muddle checkout" as well as by "muddle pull".

Recent reviews
Good 3.3 /5 from 84 reviews
The hotel was neither good nor bad really... It was a place to crash after our flight in and before our train out of Bangkok. Considering it was an "airport" hotel, it was still quite far from the airport, and a long ways from the nearest airport link train station. It was clean enough, and had all the amenities mentioned in the ad (fridge, ac, etc). The only complaint specifically about the room is that the carpets felt/looked dirty.
Worst place in our 17days travel Bangkok-Vietnam. Photos do not correspond to reallity. Not recommend.
Stayed here just for one night to catch early from BKK. You get what you pay for: it's acceptable for one night but I wouldn't recommend staying here any longer. Room was spacious, OK bathroom, but very uncomfortable bed and tons of mosquitos in the room. There is a restaurant in the hotel but didn't seem to be functional! You can still get food there.. I would suggest going to local places just 2 minutes away to get food though. Free Internet. Shuttle to BKK 24 hours, cost 150 baht. Hotel is barely OK, but again, it was about $15 per night so can't expect too much.
ok to the airport
Dont bother if you need to stay longer than a night or 12hrs. Rooms are old and very depressing, mosquitoes are common, no furniture on balcony as advertised. Restaurant closes at 12pm and not much local choice. Shuttle service quick and on time. Staff okayish but not overly happy in their job choice.

Pecorino and Black Pepper Croutons
Crunchy homemade croutons add richness and texture to salads, soups, pasta -- or, in the case of our sweet croutons, ice cream, bitter greens, or a soft, ripe cheese.
Photography: Kate Mathis
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 2013
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups of 3/4-inch-square bread cubes from a rustic loaf
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
- Pinch of freshly ground pepper
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread cubes and salt. Cook, stirring, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the heat and immediately sprinkle them with cheese and ground pepper.

Phylums – Phylum Phyloid LP Out Now!
Attention, please! It's not often that we present the absolute first release from a band. Generally we like to wait till a particular act has a record or two under their belts, has toured some, etc etc before we jump on 'em. With that said, here is world-debut release from this straight-up, no-frills rock n' roll band from Milwaukee, members of Goodnight Loving, Sugar Stems, Holy Shit!, Head On Electric, and lots more! They have been playing shows around WI for a handful of years now, but since they haven't released anything, very few people from outside their hometown have heard of 'em! Don't sleep on this band!
First 200 are on green vinyl and are available only at www.greennoiserecords.com
Order your copy now, or download from www.dirtnaprecords.bandcamp.com
Free shipping with $35 order (US customers only, sorry), 1000's of other titles available in our distro! All copies come with download coupon! Free Phylums posters with order, while supplies last!
Stream the whole thing here:
Like a spore in a petri dish, Phylums slowly cultivated in the dank basements of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2011. With a common goal of creating stripped-down, primitive rock n' roll, members of Wisconsin acts Goodnight Loving, Head On Electric, and Holy Shit! started banging out three-chord homages to the Sonics, Creedence, the Monks…any band with a simple message and no-frills attack.
Phylums took this primitive drive into Kyle Motor's recording studio in Madison Wisconsin in summer 2014. It took the band under 24 hours to record their complete debut album on reel-to-reel eight track. Surfy guitar leads and wandering fuzz combined with a rhythm section of driving toms and bass make up the core instrumentation, but a shades of organ, piano, and even a vacuum cleaner add to the sonic palette.
The songs, ranging from party rave-ups to off-kilter introspections, eschew the traditional boy/girl tropes of most three chord songs and instead focus on, amongst other things, alienation, the afterlife, speech impediments, and the frustrating beauty and monotony of modern life.

2nd self titled album (first for Dirtnap)from hard-touring Ohio dark-punks. An improvement on their (also awesome) first album in every way. The fast songs are meaner and more aggressive, the slower songs are more textured and atmospheric. Impeccable recording, truly impressive musicianship (not a compliment you'll hear us at Dirtnap throw around very often) and songwriting inspiration to burn. This goes way, way beyond the "punk kids playing post punk" thing going around these days. Fits in perfectly on the darker end of the Dirtnap Records spectrum, alongside such fine company as The Estranged, The Splits, Autistic Youth Truly an important and epic mind-bender of an album.
"There's always a reference. I had a guy wonder to me, once, whether we all didn't have big record collections so we'd know what to do; I told him if anything it was so we'd know what not to do, but that's not it either. It doesn't matter what your music brings to mind if that's all you're out to do- bring what's already out there to the mind of your listener. How cheap to exist as only reference, when you know that doing so will allow the gaps in your bargain facsimile to be filled in by your listeners' old favorites, playing on the jukebox of the mind while your pseudo-irony-dipped cassette reels around the boombox fountain. Shakespeare even said "There is nothing new" quite a while before Superchunk ripped him off so why force it? We're all bound to similar sounds and states, a finite set of whatever rules we oh-so-inevitably choose, made infinite by the powers of imagination and music and love and hate etc. One foot in front of the other, then – one note, one step, one explosion and how that forces you to react to just that last and that possible next, how to prepare with only what we have in front of us, our minds and vicinities cleared by the resultant possibilities. We'd all play jazz for sure if we hadn't been ruined by TV. Our whole lives lived punk in some way, each of us in our own interpretation. Obviously the music follows. Arrangements tight; surroundings random. Chance occurrences held to our breasts, you'll never see the same seventeen minutes twice. Boys and girls, don't grow up, and don't ever figure it out. Nervosas are alright and so are you." – Nervosas

Republican Party operatives, who wasted no time indicting their Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin for his interview faux pas on abortion, may bear more responsibility than Akin himself for the mess that has been created.
Akin's statement, suggesting low probability of conception in cases of 'legitimate rape," was barely coherent and was said with neither force nor conviction. He said it was a view he "understood from doctors." And soon after, he apologized.
Akin has served six terms in Congress with a consistent, unblemished conservative record. The fact that leaders of his own party joined hands with liberals, thereby legitimizing them, and body-slammed Akin microseconds after his unfortunate and easily disabused remark, shows there's more going on.
What's going on is these influential Republicans don't want any kind of discussion about abortion. This campaign, in their view, is supposed to just be about the lousy economy.
But for Republicans to turn away from moral issues doesn't neuter the campaign of them. It cedes the high moral ground to the other party. And suggesting that fixing the economy is like fixing your broken air conditioner -- that it's not fundamentally a question about human behavior, choices and values -- makes Republicans amoral on this central issue.
Far from hiding from moral convictions, or lack thereof, Democrats showcase their values with pride.
Word is that the president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, has a prime speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention. Democrats are proud to associate publicly with the largest abortion provider in the nation. There is no shame that a few weeks ago a young black woman bled to death, lying neglected for five hours in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago, after a botched abortion.
Democrats showcase their cruel, soulless materialism with no response from Republicans. Amidst this silence, The New York Times brands Republicans the "mean-spirited and intolerant" party.
How ironic can this be when the leader of the Democratic Party, our president, not only aggressively embraces abortion, which terminates almost half the pregnancies of women of his own race, but who also stood in opposition to the Supreme Court's 2007 ban on partial birth abortion.
Let's recall that partial birth abortion is the murder of a fully formed baby -- infanticide.
In the words of a nurse who described the procedure, as reported by Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy in the opinion he wrote on the partial birth ruling: "The baby's little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of his head ..."
The leader of the Democratic Party, the president of the United States, thinks this should be legal in our country. And Republicans don't think we should be talking about this?
John Mueller, of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and a former economic adviser to the late Rep. Jack Kemp, has written about the impact of abortion on the economy.
Mueller has estimated that, as of 2000, legal abortion reduced the U.S. population by about 11 percent. Reduction in population translates into an equivalent percentage reduction in economic output, according to economists. This means that abortion has cut today's $15 trillion economy by at least $1.7 trillion.
The core of our entitlements crisis lies in dropping population growth rates, resulting in an aging population. This places a growing tax burden on a smaller labor force to cover the retirement and health costs of our elderly.
Mueller attributes the current deficit in Social Security to this shrunken work force, diminished in size due to the ravages of legal abortion.
Whether or not Todd Akin bows to pressure to exit his Senate race will not change the fact that the core problem in our country is moral and the poor economy reflects this.
When Republicans try to hide from morality and abortion, they hurt their party and our country.

'Help! He's More Into Sports Than He's Into Me'

Differences in hobbies/interests can wreak havoc on a relationship. In fact, it is one of the top 10 reasons couples see me for counseling. So often I hear complaints such as: "He's more into his sports than he's into me" or "I'm tired of competing with his sports watching." The good news: it's fixable.
