I am not sure about the text-to-speech, but it certainly has the light - the back light ...

I believe for the newer enhanced children's books you have the option of being read to by a narrator.
That's about the only thing I can think of.
Re: text to speechnjnookman Dec 16, 2010 6:31 PM (in response to ChappyEight)
Text to speech has not yet been implemented, and I personally know of no plans to do so.
B&N has chosen to embed audio performances within books -- see Polar Express, Elephan got its Tail, et al. These are recorded performances by actors whose narration leads a child into reading, not just a mechanical voice with very little feeling or expression.
I look forward to the day when more content producers, such as Berlitz, Rosetta Stone, or other makers of language learning software, begin to take advantage of the "read to me" spec for novel and interesting purposes.
At this point in time, the machine-generated speech is no substitute for the rich intonations of a trained actor.

- - Hello (http://www.mmaforum.com/introductions-greets/79904-hello.html)
So seeing as I just joined these forums I figured I would introduce myself first post.
A little bit about me,
My name is Daniel, I'll be 20 years old this year. I was born and raised in Owensboro, KY and still currently reside here.
I have never trained officially but I have followed MMA since I was a little kid and have recently started training with a buddy of mine. We both have big dreams to compete one day professionally and are very avid about the sport.
So yeah, just a little bit about me. I am not entirely new to MMA but I do still have ALOT of questions that hopefully some of you guys on here can answer. But yeah, that's that. Watup fella'z?
I feel I can confidently say that virtually any MMA-related question, and a few others, can be answered in a knowledgeable and friendly manner on here.
Welcome to the forum. Don't hesitate to contact the staff if you have any questions or concerns.
Hope to see some of your posts!
Welcome to the forum! Have a great time while you are here! :thumb02:
Great to see we still have a good welcoming-comitee in here ;)
And welcome mate, enjoy your stay :)
Welcome to the forum...I am still new here too :D

It's Facebook question of the week time (clap, clap, clap!).
I'm coming to you today from a social media day that Porter Novelli is putting on for one of their clients. It's a pretty cool concept; I'll let you know how it goes and if I think it's an idea some of you should adopt (er, steal).
Christopher Barger and I are both speaking. I finally got to meet one of my brain crushes in real life…and he's just as smart as I imagined. Be jealous.
Now on to the question of the week.
Autumn Thompson asks:
I am working on my masters degree in entrepreneurship and we talk a lot about failure and how it should be embraced. I guess my question would be…do you agree? Failure in your own business can catastrophic to your whole life. What are your thoughts.
Oh boy do I have some thoughts! This is a really good topic. One that we've talked a bit about here before, but it's worth repeating over and over and over again.
My thoughts are in the video below (if you can't see it in your RSS feed, click here and it'll magically appear). I'd love to read your thoughts on failure…and I know Autumn would too. Who knows? Maybe she'll use us in a paper or something.
Before you go to the comments, don't forget to head over to Facebook and leave a question on the wall. You, too, can have fame and fortune. Well, really, just a mention in a coming video.
Go ahead! We'll wait.
OK. On to to the comments!

Gini, you pointed out the key to why failure isn't necessarily a bad thing…the lesson learned! That is why we fail, to learn lessons life has to teach. If we don't learn the life lesson the failure will keep coming until we do learn what life has to teach. The big question is always, "what can I learn from this"? And even better if we can borrow lessons from the mistakes of others! Hope those allergies calm down…we have the same issue with fall allergies here and you're right, it does suck!!
@KatrinaLaflin Hi Katrina! Weird…you popped into my mind just the other day. I hope you're doing well!
It's so true about learning from our failures. We don't learn from our successes…do we?

I'm with you … it sucks, but it's how we learn.
PS love the term "brain crush" … gotta borrow that one
Hi Gini… I've been a part of a failed attempt at entrepreneurship, and now I seem to be a part of a successful run at entrepreneurship. I think the key goes back to what you talked about in terms of looking at failure as an opportunity.
As long as a person isn't crippled by failure and uses the experience as a learning tool, it's possible to bounce back stronger than ever.
–Tony Gnau
Failure is OK! I think John Maxwell addressed it best…we all fail on a continual basis and failure is never the problem, it's how we respond to the problem that either hirts us or helps us.
I am the guy who thinks that we need to teach our children how to fail gracefully so that they can develop coping skills to deal with adversity. So my answer is that even though failure can be quite painful it doesn't mean that life is going to end or that success will never be found again.
Augh Gini – I didn't know your story – what a horrible Christmas that must have been (all failure-is-good-stuff put aside for the moment!) And then to have to lay off staff! – Yikes!
is failure Okay? Failures is the sign-post that says, "You're going the wrong way!", at least it has been for me! Sometimes this has meant doing something different within that business, and sometimes it's meant starting a different business! There's no adventure quite like the adventure of being an entrepreneur, is there?!
@TheJackB Yes! I look for ways for my oldest to fall down or make a mistake so that we can have something to learn from. It's hard, but it's best!
As Autumn well knows from working with me, failure this past spring is what helped me grow and helped me refine my business. Had I not felt that, in a very painful way, I would not have a better understanding now of how to move forward, how to make it work with less and how to better attract and screen my clients so that we work well for the long term. I think every business owner must experience some level of failure (catastrophic sounds so finite!), in order to be a better business owner.
My sympathies for your '09 experience. Having to lay that much of the staff of your own company has to be really demoralizing. I went through a similar experience in '04, having to layoff almost all of our developers, designers, & engineers after a merger — many of them good friends. However, had that been my own company, I can imagine how much more difficult that would have been.
On a lighter (?) note, if you collect enough of these "Success through Bankruptcy" stories, you could have an instant best seller 🙂
This is great advice! I guess I've never really thought about failure being an option but that is unrealistic of me and can sometimes be very dangerous. This broadened my horizons and opened my eyes. Thanks for posting!
Here's the thing about what feels like failure: the most painful, heart-wrenching times in life are often the ones rich with lessons. But it can be hard to see that at the time. Perspective, time, reflection and good friends can help us when we fail to see the next chapter that awaits us. Nicely done, Gini!
@EricaAllison It is better for them to learn under our guidance when we can manage things. I want my kids to experience failure so that they can appreciate what it means to get back up. I just don't want their self esteem to be destroyed in the process.
That balance is important.

@TheJackB@EricaAllison Without the failures, the success wouldn't be so sweet.
@ExtremelyAvg Success is built on the shoulders of failure. I like what Edison had to say:
"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward."
Great comments below and much along my line of thinking. For me, failure provides an opportunity to learn and grow as an entrepreneur. I realize that failure is not a necessity for growth and I also realize that just because an entrepreneur experiences failure does not guarantee he or she can or will learn and grow from it; however, if dealt with correctly and handled with the proper attitude and perspective, failure can become a vital step in entrepreneur's growth. I agree that it should be embraced.
@joelfortner03@ginidietrich Amen to that, Joel.
"In other words, if you've NEVER failed…" (left out the word "never" and it's an important one!)
You made me realize, after listening to you, that's it's all in how we react to it. If we choose to learn from it and turn it into an opportunity, then it's not a failure at all. But it does suck in the midst of whatever that failure maybe. It is debilitating, keep-you-in-bed kind of stuff. and it's all the more strengthening and character-building when you overcome it.
@jsimmens ha! I didn't see this until now and I said what you said.
@TweetShannonNow I love that, though! I don't think it's dangerous at all.
@TheJackB We have also studied Edison and all of the patents he holds. His failures are massive but he never let it bother him. If he failed, he learned something and how to better his inventions. If I remember correctly, he has the 32nd patent for the lightbulb. He didn't invent it, he invent how to make it affodable.
What great insight from everyone! I'm honored to be the FBQOTW. Thank you Gini! Can't wait to write a paper and use all of your opinions. It amazed me to be taught how to fail at your business and adjust. We have studied numerous companies and their complete failures and their successes. It has made me think long and hard about what I want to do and how to make it succeed.
PS…I have a brain crush on several people and I am jealous you got to meet one of yours!
PS, I worry about my children's failures… No one wants to see their children suffer but know that they too will be stronger because of it. @bdorman264
@TheJackB Agree 100%…
@ExtremelyAvg@TheJackB Those are good failures. Your result (84 sales) wasn't what you wanted, but you still sold 84 books. It doesn't take much effort to see that you were successful by selling 84 books.
Had you put yourself in a position where you HAD to sell 400 books or else you were facing financial disaster, well, that's a much different story. I did that once (actually, twice)… It's all about managing your expectations and failing gracefully… and then learning from it.
And I think you're right – sports is a huge part of learning to deal with failure.
@fitzternet@TheJackB You make a valid point and I do feel very proud of getting the sales. I am quite sure that the 2nd Henry Wood will build upon the 1st one. 🙂
Failure is subjective. Admitting defeat is not failure. Making it open doors means it was a cross roads. Not failure.
Failure is subjective. Admitting defeat is not failure. Making it open doors means it was a cross roads. Not failure.
@Ameena Falchetto Just like anything else in life – success also is subjective.
@delwilliams Failure, to me, is walking away from $6B and then violating your quiet period so the SEC pulls your IPO.
@ExpatDoctorMom We were talking about failure among today's kids because they're not really taught it in school anymore. They all get trophies, even if they didn't win. I think that's doing them a HUGE disservice.
@autumnmthompson I just saw an email floating around that had 10 people who have failed. The guy who invented FedEx? He presented the idea in a business class and got an F that semester.
@bdorman264 By no means do I think it's OK to go bankrupt. But, to me, that used to be the ultimate business failure. And then I experienced it by watching my friend and I realized, as much as it really sucks, it's not life-ending.
@glenn_ferrell@Lisa Gerber It's funny you say that, Glenn, because Lisa and I just had that conversation. We were talking about when we'll add staff and I commented that we're going to run super lean. I'm a little skittish about hiring, especially when my current staff isn't at full capacity. So I've changed the way I manage the business to accomodate.
@fitzternet Another thing that this makes me think of is the idea of getting too much advice. I think that is debilitating, as well. Sometimes I find it harder to take risk and make decisions when I know of EVERY pro and con. Ignorance truly is bliss in some cases.

Man rescued after fall down east Erie embankment
Erie fire crews rescued a man who fell down an embankment Wednesday night in a wooded area between Holland and Front streets just south of the Bayfront Parkway.
Fire crews and authorities were called there just after 10 p.m.
The man fell about 20 feet down the embankment and was on his side against a tree when paramedics and fire crews found him, Erie Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Carroll said.
The embankment was about 45 feet, authorities said.
Authorities said the man was in his 30s.
Firefighters placed the man in a rescue basket, fastened ropes to it and pulled him up the embankment.
He was taken to UPMC Hamot.
"It doesn't look like there were any outward signs of injuries, no bleeding,'' Carroll said.

When John Seaburn received a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) he was referred to a surgeon at Summa Health Center at Wadsworth-Rittman. While John had a very good first impression, he chose to get a second opinion elsewhere before committing to surgery at Summa Health Center at Wadsworth-Rittman. After doing so, he made the decision to have the surgery close to home with a doctor he knew and trusted.
"I was diagnosed in December, had two surgeries, and I was back to work in February. I can't say enough about my care. My surgeon was just great, that's why I'm sitting here today." exclaims John.
It's important for patients to feel at ease with their doctor and have confidence in the doctor's expertise. The doctor-patient relationship can be critical to a quality outcome. You can choose where to have your surgery. John chose Summa Health Center at Wadsworth-Rittman.

Harlequins will be heading to the Hamersley Cup grand final after proving too tough for Mackenzie in Fairlie.
Two late tries at Strathconan Park gave the Rams the 28-23 scoreline some respectability, but in essence Harlequins were too good, up 28-9 mid-way through the second half.
To their credit Mackenzie hung tough, but by then Harlequins had emptied their bench and their fullback Paula Fifita was in the bin for a team infringement too many.
For Mackenzie, it killed off their dream of lifting the silverware they last won in 2003.
The result means Harlequins will face defending champions Celtic for the sixth time in seven years, but unlike in some previous seasons both sides certainly had to fight for their spots.
Mackenzie had finished top qualifier after the round robin but injuries hurt them at key moments, while Harlequins will be hoping to be the first team to win the Hamersley Cup from third spot, having already survived two sudden death semi-finals.
That won't be easy as Celtic try for an unprecedented sixth crown in a row since grand finals were introduced.
At Fairlie both sides were piped on to the field but the music stopped quickly after Harlequins scored in just two minutes.
A clever skip-pass from first five Scott Norton gave centre Hau Kaumatule some space and he ran strongly and finished with a good off-load for Fifita to score.
With 15 minutes gone a rampant Harlequins side were in again after Fifita made another strong run and slipped the ball away in the tackle for Matt Young to score.
In between Norton had landed a penalty and the hosts were down 13-0 and struggling to get their hands on the ball.
Mackenzie then started to make some good tackles, stopping Harlequins momentum and battled away, with George Williams landing one of two penalties attempts to make half-time 13-3.
The Rams captain Stu Cartwright also went down in what looked like a serious injury but managed to recover and return to the field.
The second half started like the first with a penalty to Norton and then with four minutes gone Fifita was on hand to score again after a great break Kaumatule to make it 21-3.
Then with quarter of hour gone, Fifita was again in the action with a good run.ntsD and nte Norton found speedster Maile I'Ongi, who scored.
Norton added the extras and the game was gone at 28-6.
Williams added a penalty and Mackenzie blew a couple of opportunities when ball runners decided to head back into the traffic when they had overlaps outside.
In a frantic final five minutes Mackenzie first five Walker Jacobs scored a couple of good tries with strong runs close to the line.
In the end Harlequins key men stood up when it mattered most.
While the hard running Sam Vea was a late withdrawal as his first baby was on the way, he was hardly missed.
Number 8 Josateki Veikune had a huge game while in the backs Kaumatule and Fifita were just too good.
Veteran loose forward Craig Miller had a good game as did Tui Tauelangi and captain Nathan Tubb.
Englishman Harry Lewis was also a tower in the lineout, also grabbing several Mackenzie throws.Halfback Jordan Hooke Hooke and Norton were good conduits for the men outside them, while stand in second five Joel Tuiaki made some good runs early.
Mackenzie's pack were good in the scrums and at the breakdowns but their lineout was wobbly.
They did not however have the ball runners to match Harlequins.
For the Rams front rower Aaron McCall was strong while open side Jarrad Blackler was in everything.
Lock Andrew Scarlett showed some good skills especially on the kick-offs and Cartwright never gave up.
Second five Fa'aitu Tuamoheloa tried to get his backline firing while fullback Williams showed some nice touches, both kicking and ball in hand.
Harlequins coach Colin Cameron was pleased overall with his side's efforts.
''We played very well at times but often we are our own worst enemies. To Mackenzie's credit they never gave up.''
Mackenzie coach Justin Geary was disappointed for his team.
''It was just not our day, no-one wants to come third. We've had a bloody good season, the team culture was great and we had the self belief but just couldn't get there.''
Harlquins open side Gareth Holden will be out of the grand final however after sustaining a neck injury.
Temuka beat Old Boys 19-10 after leading all the way and will face Pleasant Point in the final.
For Temuka, hooker Cody Hilligers and second five Tenaru Saumani impressed.
In the senior B competition Geraldine proved too good for Harlequins in their unique 10 minute play-off scoring 10 points courtesy of a converted try and penalty.
In the end it didn't matter as Pleasant Point then won the sudden death semi 23-14 and will face Waimate on Saturday in the final.

"Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it," Hogan said in a statement exclusively to PEOPLE. The transcript featuring that conversation was published online by the National Enquirer.
"This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise," Hogan told PEOPLE. "I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs."
Hogan was scrubbed from the WWE's website on Friday morning, with no videos or photos of the famed wrestler remaining. He was also removed from the online Hall of Fame. His lawyer David Houston confirmed to PEOPLE that he's officially resigned from the organization.
"He decided to resign from WWE because he didn't want to put them or his family through this," Houston told PEOPLE.
WWE, however, maintains that Hogan was fired: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (a.k.a. Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."

Hogan told PEOPLE he will use the situation to "improve as a person" and that he takes the matter as an "important learning experience."
A transcript of the audio shows the wrestler repeatedly using the n-word in reference to his daughter Brooke Hogan's dating life.

Like the existing 2-wheeler bikes, the new 3-wheeler Fast Response Paramedic bikes will be deployed as the first response vehicles for road traffic accidents and other emergency medical cases.
One key feature of the new bikes is the ability to stop and park like a car – without the use of the traditional motorcycle stand.
This enables SCDF personnel to deal with the incident as soon as they arrive at the scene and gain quicker access to the patient.
The Fast Response Paramedics will provide initial assessment and critical medical intervention at the scene, while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
The 3-wheeler bikes, which are equipped with an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) for cardiac cases, have been operational at Central Fire Station and Alexandra Fire Station since 27 September 2010.

Skip to comments.Ron Paul uses Guy Fawkes to fire up campaign and raise $4.3m in a day
Posted on 11/06/2007 4:44:35 PM PST by Redcloak
Guy Fawkes, a 17th-century English mercenary and terrorist who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, is an unlikely figurehead for a US Republican presidential candidate.
But Ron Paul is neither a run-of-the-mill Republican nor a typical presidential aspirant.
His supporters announced yesterday that they had smashed Republican fundraising records by hauling in a total of $4.3 million (£2 million) for his campaign from more than 37,000 donors over the previous 24 hours.
And they did it online, through the website ThisNovember5th.com, where Mr Pauls speeches have been mashed up with clips of the film V for Vendetta, in which a sinister but ultimately heroic terrorist modelled on Fawkes destroys a fascist government in Britain. Remember, remember, the fifth of November is moved from British nursery rhyme to a campaign slogan in America.
Mr Paul, a 72-year-old ten-term Texas congressman, has been dismissed widely as a kook in the 2008 race. He advocates Austrian economics, a return to the gold standard and an end to the Iraq war.
He also wants the withdrawal of all American troops from abroad and the abolition of most government departments, including Energy, Education and Homeland Security.
Some of his supporters believe that 9/11 was an inside job by the American Government, others are white supremacists. Much to his own surprise, Mr Paul has become a cult figure among libertarians and students who pack rallies wearing Ron Paul Revolution T-shirts.
Like Howard Dean four years ago, it is the internet and a host of unofficial websites that are propelling him forward: Mr Pauls name is the most searched of any candidate, his YouTube videos are the most watched and he regularly wins online polls after Republican presidential debates.
Unlike Mr Dean, who came close to winning the 2004 Democratic nomination, Mr Paul stands no chance of becoming the Republicans 2008 nominee. In national opinion polls he barely registers, and even in New Hamp-shire the live free or die state he gets an average of only 3.6 per cent support, according to RealClearPolitics.com, which tracks such surveys.
But his phenomenal fundraising achievements mean that Mr Paul has more than mere nuisance value in this White House race. In the third quarter of this year he raised $5.3 million, an amount similar to that generated by the former front-runner John McCain. He has set a goal of raising a further $12 million by the end of the year.
Yesterday Mr Paul attributed the record-breaking achievement to a powerful message and the frustration of people who do not like the war and do not like the economy.
Asked whether it was appropriate to use the image of Fawkes and November 5 in this way, he said that it was just a gimmick. He added that he had never spoken to organisers of the website. We advocate a nonviolent but revolutionary approach.
His spokesman issued a further clarification, saying that Mr Paul did not support blowing up parliaments or assassinating kings.
He wants to demolish things like the Department of Education, but we can do that very peacefully.
I guess it could be worse, at least Paul isn't raising money off the blood of our troops by parroting the talking points of our enemies and courting the troofer crowd... oh wait...
Must you make up your own headlines for a story?
'Ron Paul uses Guy Fawkes to fire up campaign and raise $4.3m in a day'
Something tells me that Guy Fawkes would feel sullied by the comparison to Ron Paul.
"Austrian economics"
Yikes! The horror of it all.
P For Pendetta?
P For Pendetta?
Not an overly positive article about yesterday... actually it's the worst I've seen.. geez.
Ya know, this reaks to high heaven. Why can't ya just be glad that people in this country have taken an interest in the whole voting process? It's just because it's Ron Paul.
Well, even though Ron is not my top choice..if it were between Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani..I would cast my vote for Ron Paul in a heartbeat.
You want a republican running for office? Out of the three, I would say Ron Paul is the conservative republican candidate.
He doesn't say abolish the military..he just doesn't think that we need to be in every country putting out every fire. And guess what? There are a lot of Americans that feel the same way.
So, between the media and the republican "elite" you keep in knocked down and treat him as a joke. That's fine. But as a conservative republican, I wonder if he would be more likely to throw in with a conservative like Hunter or Thompson if he was treated with some dignity.
There are a lot of republicans that aren't too keen on the war as it is. They may even think that something was hinky in the beginning and run poorly. For Ron Paul to just be dismissed as a joke is a republican folly.
If people would close their mouths and open their ears..they just might hear some good OLD republican values being said.
If it were between two New England RINOS and the Texas Surrender-Monkey, I'd say that our Republic is royally screwed.
Say what you will about Paul - that is some serious fund raising.
Absolutely. When the media and republican powers that be can say who will and won't get debate time..the people are definitely screwed.
ALMIGHTY God, who hast in all ages shewed thy power and mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverance of thy Church, and in the protection of righteous and religious Kings and States, professing they holy and eternal truth, from the wicked conspiracies and malicious practices of all the enemies thereof; We yield thee our unfeigned thanks and praise for the wonderful and mighty deliverance of our gracious Sovereign King James the First, the Queen, the Prince, and all the Royal Branches, with the Nobility, Clergy and Commons of England, then assembled in Parliament, by Popish treachery appointed as sheep to the slaughter, in a most barbarous and savage manner, beyond the examples of former ages. From this unnatural conspiracy, not our merit, but thy mercy; not our foresight, but thy providence, delivered us: And therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto they Name be ascribed all honour and glory, in all Churches of the Saints, from generation to generation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
- Collect for Guy Fawkes Day, Book of Common Prayer
Yeah, Guy Fawkes is still reviled in England, and obviously the U.K. Times is more than a little peeved that a U.S. Presidential candidate would use Guy Fawkes day as a gimmick to raise money.
Up until yesterday I didn't know much about Fawkes, but it only takes a few minutes on the Internet to get up to speed. Apparently he was a Papist who was unhappy with the persecution of Catholics in England, so he organized a "Gunpowder Plot" to blow up the House of Parliament when the Protestant King and nobles would be meeting. The plot was uncovered, and Fawkes was tortured and executed.
While Fawkes remains mostly hated in England, he's also come to be seen by many as a symbol of revolt against tyrannical authority -- "the only man to ever enter parliament with honourable intentions". Who among us would not at times like to (at least figuratively) do something similar?
However, regardless of one's opinion of Guy Fawkes, I would not classify him as a terrorist. As far as I'm concerned, a terrorist is one who targets innocent civilians. Targeting military forces or government officials is not terrorism, it is war or revolution. You can argue about which side is the just side in a war or revolution, but enemy soldiers and leaders are legitimate targets.
Since Islamic radicals consider themselves at war with the United States, their 9/11 attack on the Pentagon should not be classified as terrorism; it was a military target. But of course their killing of innocent civilians, in the jetliners they hijacked and in the Twin Towers, was terrorism. And we could still retaliate (i.e., wage war against them) even if they had attacked the Pentagon in a non-terroristic fashion.
November 5 is also the anniversary of the landing of William of Orange in 1688, just before James II fled the country.
So our constitutionally elected government is tyrannical and Ron Paul is supporting violent terrorism against it? Ron Paul and his supporters are sick. This is revolting.
yeah, makes you wonder. Almost zilch for a long stretch then WHAMO they must have hit to Lottery. Everybody better be checking you CC account statements.
Hard as it is to think it, hitlery would be less damaging to America than Paul.
Of course not. The good folks at the UK Times want the government to chew their food for them. A candidate espousing limited government is TERRIFYING to them. If the idea of liberty catches on, the government might not wipe their bottoms! How will they survive?
So holding up a terrorist as an example is perfectly fine with you? Sick...
So encouraging violent action against our constitutionally elected government is not terrorism, but perfectly acceptable "revolution" and "war"? Shame on you, Ron Paul and his supporters. This is disgusting.
YEah, it would all be great if Paul wasn't a total flake.
Conservatives used to applaud people who preached the Founder's cause.
But that was before the Neocons and Socons redefined the term.
****While Fawkes remains mostly hated in England, he's also come to be seen by many as a symbol of revolt against tyrannical authority — "the only man to ever enter parliament with honourable intentions". Who among us would not at times like to (at least figuratively) do something similar?***
I love that line. I think Ron Paul has entered congress with honorable intentions.
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is one of the most honest politicians of our time.
Knew very little about Ron Paul except for a few things he has voted on in the past. But when I saw the YouTube clip from when he was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno he just really struck me all wrong--came off as a smug jerk I thought.
Here is the best I've seen today, Ron Paul on Tucker Carlson:
Oh he is honest.
Most voters prefer to be pandered to nowadays.
see post 28
As Thomas Jefferson wrote in his Nov. 13, 1787 letter to Col. William S. Smith:
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. ... What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon, and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
The federal government does many unconstitutional things, and it's high time we scaled it back to it's limited Constitutional functions. Ron Paul wants to do that peacefully, by running for President. But one way or another, as Thomas Jefferson pointed out, we need to preserve our liberties.
Yup Von Mises is such an outcast...
Too many these days still prefer Keynes and the safety of Big Brother.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
President Paul! Get used to it!
While I support your right to use recreational marijuana, I urge that you abstain before posting.
You know, I never even hear of the Guy Fawks guy, I don't think, until I am chatting with a friend in England telling me it's Guy Fawks Days over there. Then that movie came out V for Vendetta.
I think Ron Paul should wear the Guy Fawks mask to the next debate.
I'm not a Paul supporter or opposer, but this thread is about what was expected...FreeRepublic Groupthink. Which candidate is the flavor of the month, per the mandate from FR management and owners? Fred?
You are either drunk, or demented.
Oh, great. We could go straight from conservative conservatism to kooky conservatism. Please tell me how you can seriously say you would vote for Paul after he says things like the nutsy President of Iran is acting reasonably and understandably. His statements about Pakistan yesterday were troubling as well.
I'm not trying to be mean or sarcastic ... I really want to know how you can lean on his conservative credentials when he is saying such dangerous things. His attitude on foreign policy could get us all killed.
Fair enough. May I say President Ron?
No, I'm sorry, I am the one who's Revolting!
Don't worry about it. Your FR problem has been solved.
LOL! We need to come up with a snappy term for posters (I won't say FReepers) who self-immolate whilst supporting their decidedly non-conservative candidates.
The day is celebrated in England as an anti-terrorist day-Fawkes was caught before he could complete his mission.
It seems to me that the point is missed on the connection between Nov. 5 and Guy Fawkes and Ron Paul.
I believe the intended connection is with the character in V for Vendetta, who is rising up against a fascist, futuristic Britain (I only saw the movie once, so my memory is a bit fuzzy). As far as I know, *that's* where the connection is -- not with the historical Guy Fawkes (which the character in the movie is actually hearkening back to).

You just knew it would come to this.
This week, Mayor Nutter signed an executive order for monitoring of how Philadelphia police officers conduct stop-and-frisk procedures.
The mayor should have known when he ratcheted up the controversial tactic in 2008 - as a way to get guns off the street - that it would come back to bite him in the you-know-what.
I mean, how can you arbitrarily subject citizens to blatant guerrilla policing without implementing a single check or balance to ensure that nobody's rights are violated?

Ambi wanders for a long time and eventually finds someone else. The two agree to work together and Ambi finds out his name is Sam, they build a boat quickly with the help of Sam's Donphan.
Sam: Am I alright to come with you?
Ambi nods: I'd be glad for a friend, seems like we're the only two around.
The two climb into the boat and set off for ??? Island. It's not long before they reach a blockade, they discover that the blockade is to stop people leaving as a war is about to begin.
Ambi manages to get through by saying that he's spying in preparation for the war. The pair get off and look for a place to hide.
Ambi: This isn't good.
Sam: Why?
Ambi: If this is our new home then we need to fight to defend, we need to find and help whoever is willing to fight on this side of things.
Gliscor: We have to find bugsss, I saw lotsss from the sssky earlier.
Ambi nods and the group set off in search of bugs.
So now i'm running what are effectively 4 different characters, Ambi, Gliscor, Sam and Donphan. Also if there's ever a triple s in Gliscors speech it's intentional.

Non-native invasive plants were brought into Florida through a variety of methods. Not all non-native plants are as harmful to the ecosystems of Florida as others. Those that begin to cause widespread ecological damage to the native plant and animal communities are called invasive. These non-native invasive plants grow quickly, produce abundant seeds, have no natural enemies, flourish in a wide range of soil conditions, and prevent native species from growing.
For new construction, Article 14. C. of the County's (Unified Land Development Code) ULDC requires the removal invasive non-native plant species found in Appendix 5 and Appendix 6 prior to receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.). Planting or installation of these plant species is prohibited. This Code was adopted in April, 1986, so those properties constructed after that date must maintain their property free and clear of these invasive plants. This requirement is for the unincorporated areas (i.e. not in a city) of Palm Beach County. Please contact your local municipal office to inquire about invasive non-native plant regulations in your municipality.
By the dates listed below, Article 14. D. ULDC requires the removal of the nine invasive non-native plant species listed in Appendix 5 on properties within 500 feet from a designated natural area Countywide (unincorporated and municipalities). For those properties outside of a 500 foot buffer area, only Old World Climbing Fern and Air Potato vines must be removed from all properties.

The Butch Bakery Cookbookby David Arrick Janice Kollar
The Butch Bakery does cupcakes like nobody else. You can forget the pretty sparkles and the flowers on top, forget the pastel cupcakes for Easter or Halloween. These aren't cupcakes for little kids, but grown-up cupcakes full of contemporary, inventive flavors-like bacon, whiskey, coffee, and cayenne pepper. The Butch Bakery Cookbook offers cupcakes for the twenty-first century-like a cupcake imbued with two different liqueurs or a devil's food cake made truly diabolical with a dose of chili powder. These are serious sweets. They're delightfully different and dangerously delicious. Author David Arrick has received tremendous media coverage since opening Butch Bakery Perfect for dessert or cupcake lovers who are tired of the same old vanilla or chocolate cake with icing on top For anyone who wants a dessert that breaks the mold and challenges the taste buds with modern flavors and inspired ingredients, The Butch Bakery Cookbook delivers the goods-seriously.

KIAWAH ISLAND - Protecting court records from hackers remains just as vital as efforts to ensure the repeat of the Department of Revenue theft of taxpayer data doesn't happen again, South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal said.
Bank records, Family Court reports, attorney information and Social Security numbers are just some of the bits of information that will be housed in the data stream, she said, as the state continues moving toward fully operating under an electronic court system.
The goal is to be sure "that as we move toward electronic use and digitized use of court records, we have in place the kind of data network security that we have to," she said. That includes extensive employee training because they would be among the first to recognize a potential breach, she said.
Toal's comments came Friday during her State of the Judiciary Address delivered to a lunchtime gathering of the state Bar's annual convention meeting at The Sanctuary.
For several years Toal has pushed the state's court system to become more electronically oriented. Some of the latest reforms coming include e-filing of cases and documents - like what is done in the federal system - and allowing videos, photographs and digital images to become part of appeal records.
"It's going to make us a lot more effective and efficient as judges, and you as lawyers, to be able to access these appellate records in this way," she said.
But she said that ensuring privacy remains a concern, especially when it comes to Family Court. There, more sensitive and personal information like bank records can come into play in filings such as divorce or custody matters.
"The Family Court records are going to be the biggest challenge," she said, "because there's in the older records so much data that's very personal in nature. We need to be able to protect privacy in that regard."
When the e-filing system of cases and records goes online, Toal said she doesn't envision charges being incurred by those who want to view the documents, only on those who do the filing. The fee schedule has not been determined.
"We want to make it as low as we can to really make people use it," she said.
The process will begin with pilot programs later this year in Charleston, Greenville and Clarendon counties.
"As soon as those three kind of look at it and de-bug it then we'll begin to deploy the whole thing statewide," she said.
Charleston County Master-in-Equity Judge Mikell Scarborough said Friday he still enjoys having a hard copy of documents in his hand, but said he realizes e-filing is the wave of the future. He and his staff can see things online now via the Charleston County system when it might take days for a hard copy to reach his office.
After her address, Toal declined to address the Feb. 5 Statehouse election for chief justice. She is being challenged by Associate Justice Costa Pleicones in a race that some Statehouse observers say appears to be tightening.
Pleicones surprised many in the state's legal arenas when he announced last year that he would seek the post.

Use economy in a sentence
I learned about the economy in school and how money worked in the country where I live and I was really surprised.
The economy may rise or fall at any time and you must keep an even keel and ride out the tough times.
In 2008, the economy took a real down turn, causing the loss of jobs and money everywhere, and has yet to reach the point in where it was before.

Statement by Mayor Kriseman on City Employee Email and Consultant's Report
"Included in Mr. Askew's email is a consultant's report that I believe has never been shared publicly or with my office or with City Council. As such, I have asked our legal and human resources departments to work with an independent firm to learn why this report has only recently surfaced and to conduct a thorough management review of Water Resources. I demand accountability to me, to city council, and to the citizens we serve." - Mayor Rick Kriseman

IN A DOZEN years of pro ball, Erik Kratz had never seen this happen before. Not in Medicine Hat or Manchester or New Haven or Indianapolis.
He had caught from Canada to Connecticut, but Kratz, 33, had never seen his manager sitting in the bullpen watching a pitcher get in his work 2 days after his previous start. Managers just don't spend an extra half-hour under a midday summer sun . . . especially managers who made millions in a Hall of Fame career.
But that's what former Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg did every day in 2011 and '12, when Kratz played for him at Triple A Lehigh Valley.

The government reports that the unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.6 percent in October.
The government's broader measure of unemployment, sometimes referred to "true unemployment," is still at 17 percent. There was drop of 318,000 in the number of people employed part time but who would prefer full-time work. The drop resulted in a slight decrease in true unemployment from 17.1 to 17.0 percent.
The higher, more inclusive, unemployment number is buried in the government's monthly report as "U6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force" in "Table A-15. Alternative measures of labor underutilization." Unlike the "official" unemployment rate, the U6 number includes both marginal and part-time workers as the "true" or "real" unemployment level.
As explained in the video available here the number of people underemployed is equivalent to:
- The 50 largest U.S. companies (by number of employees) laying off all of their workers, hiring new workers, and then laying them off too.
- More than all of the employees in the U.S. manufacturing and retail industries.
- Everyone who currently has a job in these twenty-seven states: Alabama, S. Carolina, Kentucky, Connecticut, Oregon, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Utah, Arkansas, Nevada, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, W. Virginia, New Hampshire, Idaho, Maine, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming.
As we said last month, this is once again a good time to recall President Obama's promises about his failed so-called stimulus boondoggle.

The report's aim is to integrate socio-economic and ecological systems in the region by using a uniform methodology to establish a baseline that can be monitored and to I) highlight main opportunities, iii) describe successes and challenges, iv) identify capacity building needs, v) identify knowledge gaps, and vi) propose policy options.
The Contracting Parties also among others, called for regional guidelines on environmental management for oil and gas development, and asked countries and partners that are involved in oil and gas development to conduct and implement a regionally coordinated strategic environmental assessment, of social and environmental sustainability of oil and gas in the Western Indian Ocean Region.
The Contracting Parties also called for a regional climate change strategy for the Nairobi Convention Area with recommendations that can be integrated into national climate change strategies with options for the development of policies, programmes and projects on climatic variability and climate change.
