And they are still trying to call this capitalism
But the revolution is going to be run by people who have little to lose. That's more along the lines of my thinking. I don't think the folks who are wearing designer jeans and tweeting on their new iphones about how cool they look protesting fall into that category.
My favorite so far: Maybe this guy spent too much time watching Close Encounters and is left with an unhealthy Lacombe fixation. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...jonah-goldberg
They seriously do this asinine hand stuff.
Tell me this isnt a little scary.
John Lewis not miffed by Occupy Atlanta dis
A 10-minute video clip of U.S. Rep. John Lewis unsuccessful attempt to address the Occupy Atlanta gathering in Woodruff Park is burning up the blog and Twittersphere.
To put it mildly, its not going over well in some circles.
To #occupyatlanta General Assembly. You are a bunch of (blank)heads. Congressman John Lewis is an American hero, tweeted hip hop industry mogul and activist Russell Simmons. He supports the Wall Street protestors that spawned Occupy Atlanta, though, tweeting more recently, White people catch a cold blacks get pneumonia. We must join in #occupywallstreet. Education and health care cut while rich get richer.
Jay Smooth, a hip hop DJ in New York, tweeted, Disappointed to hear that John Lewis was not allowed to speak at #OccupyAtlanta. Hoping organizers will hear feedback and learn from it.
The video clip of the protesters discussing the matter, and of Lewis leaving without speaking, has been gathering steam online. As of about 11:15 a.m. today it had logged more than 180,000 views on YouTube. In the clip, the protestors discuss the matter by repeating phrases, vote by waving their hands and ultimately decide that Lewis should come back later. At one point someone off camera shouts John Lewis is no better than anyone else!
Lewis, a Civil Rights Era icon, was gracious when we asked him about the matter. Its ok, he said during a brief interview Sunday night at the Woodruff Arts Center, site of a 90th birthday celebration for his fellow Civil Rights Era activist, the Rev. Joseph Lowery. Both the park and arts center are named for the late corporate titan Robert Woodruff, a longtime president of Coca-Cola and major philanthropist.
Lewis had been en route to a Pride event when he stopped by Woodruff Park.
They didnt really deny me, Lewis said. The protestors decided he could return after their agenda items had been completed, but because of the Pride event, Lewis didnt have time to wait around. The group has since issued a statement saying, We are dismayed that anything we have done would seem to show disrespect for a man whom many of us revere, and apologize to everyone who was hurt or angered by our actions. And they say Lewis can come back.
Lewis said he was not dismayed, despite his key role in the nations struggle for civil rights, that he was not more eagerly received when he initially stopped by the park.
These are different times, he said.

Thomas Jefferson to John Page Fairfeilds Dec: 25. 1762.
... But the old-fellows say we must read to gain knowledge; and gain knowledge to make us happy and be admired. Mere jargon! Is there any such thing as happiness in this world? No: And as for admiration I am sure the man who powders most, parfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired.

Speaking with your hands is a basic skill for public speaking.
Politicians, etc. use it all the time to communicate with idiots (the voters) so that they can pay attention and "listen" to what they have to say or just look at the cool hand animations....
Im reminded of Bill Clinton closed fist thumb thing he used to do.
I dont remember him throwing up the spirit fingers tho lol.
Listen to them talk and repeat every single word thats said....and they call others sheep.

Dakimakura Collection 31
Hi all, I've been slacking lately (or forgetting rather) but here at last is another post full of dakimakura goodness! First up we have the lovely Kanu/Aisha from Koihime Musou, that I picked up at ACE2012 during my trip to japan. She's my favourite Koihime character and looks absolutely gorgeous here, so it's win all round! It's a 2way tricot material made by Digiclub who seem relatively new to the dakimakura scene, and their smooth knit isn't of all that great a quality, but this 2way tricot feels good and has no issues for me.
The 2nd cover this time is Odette Diz Ortlinde from the game Soukyuu no Soleil ~Fullmetal Eyes~ which is made of a good Roica material. This was released by Dengeki Hime through their webshop about a year and a half ago, but I luckily found it on Mandarake recently and was able to pick it up. I love her expressions.
And that's that for this time!

Micki Hounslow's cartoons
Micki has been drawing cartoons for me since about 1980 (we were both very young then....). The six primary page cartoons form one set (rumoured to bear some resemblance to me), the six categories in the resources section another set.
To see the detail, hover your mouse over the top right hand cartoon on each page and it will enlarge.

I hope you find this site attractive, user-friendly, interactive and useful. I'd value your comments, positive and negative, so please finish your tour with a visit to the Contact section. And bookmark the site - it will be developing steadily and is updated two or three times a week.
Trivial quiz
How many 'live' mice can you find in the cartoons on this website?
Be warned: the site is seriously infested with well over 250 on the public pages, and well over 300 for those with access to the extra Administrator pages.
So if you have younger members of your family who enjoy a challenge, or if you cannot sleep tonight...
the number is steadily increasing as new pages are added to the site.

Some mornings, don't you just feel like you need a mouthful of big, ripe melon. That's how I felt this morning. It's your body's way of telling you that you're not consuming enough sugar I believe. Or perhaps that you're in need of some comfort only a luscious casaba or overly ripe cantaloupe can bring. You feel like if you could just wrap your mouth around a ready-to-explode round ball of honeydew, all will be right with the world. Nature, she is a powerful master.
Completely changing subjects, how about Melissa Debling and her impressive topless beach photoshoot, featuring the super glamour models bodily assets mocking the very sun with their own gravitational majesty? Throw in some Red Bull and you have pretty much all I need to survive. So, take that, nature. Enjoy.

VIDEO: 'Veep' Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus Talks 15th Emmy Nom on GMA
Julia Louis-Dreyfus stopped by ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA to discuss her 15th Emmy nomination for her role on the hit HBO comedy VEEP. Check out the appearance below!
Created by Armando Iannucci (Oscar(R) nominee for co-writing "In the Loop"), VEEP stars Emmy(R)-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, who becomes Vice president, only to discover the job is nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about.
VEEP follows the whirlwind day-to-day existence of Vice President Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles a busy public schedule and demanding private life, and defends the president's interests, even as she tries to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive.
The returning ensemble cast of the show also includes Tony Hale ("Arrested Development") as Gary, VicePresident Meyer's right-hand man; Anna Chlumsky ("In the Loop") as Amy, her chief of staff; Reid Scott ("My Boys") as Dan, an ambitious political aide; Matt Walsh (HBO's "Hung") as Mike, Vice President Meyer's weathered spokesperson; Timothy C. Simons ("Days Together") as Jonah, an enterprising but annoying White House liaison; and Sufe Bradshaw ("Overnight") as Sue, Vice President Meyer's executive assistant.

Elmore Leonard
Oct. 11, 1925
New Orleans
Orleans Parish
Louisiana, USA
Aug. 20, 2013
Oakland County
Michigan, USA
Author, Screenwriter. He is probably best remembered for his novels "Hombre" (1961), "Mr. Majestyk" (1974), "Get Shorty" (1990), "Rum Punch' (1992, film version "Jackie Brown"), and "Out of Sight" (1996), as well as his short stories "Three-Ten to Yuma" (1953) and "The Captives" (1955, film version "The Tall T"), which were adapted into films. While his early works were Westerns, he later branched out to write crime fiction and suspense thrillers, and many of them were also adapted into films. His works were generally known for their gritty realism and strong dialogue. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, his father worked for General Motors and the family moved frequently for several years because of his job, before finally settling in Detroit, Michigan in 1934. Nicknamed "Dutch" after Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers knuckleball pitcher Dutch Leonard, he graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School in 1943 where he played quarterback on the football team, and joined the US Navy where he served with the Seabees for three years in the South Pacific. After his discharge from the Navy, he enrolled at the University of Detroit in 1946 where he pursued writing more seriously, entering his work in short story contests and sending it off to magazines. He graduated in 1950 with a degree in English and philosophy. The previous year, he obtained a job as a copy writer with Campbell-Ewald Advertising Agency, a position he kept for several years, while writing on the side. In 1951 he achieved his first success when Argosy magazine published his short story "Trail of the Apaches." During the 1950s and early 1960s, he continued writing Westerns, publishing more than 30 short stories. He wrote his first novel, "The Bounty Hunters," in 1953 and followed it with five other Western novels, "The Law at Randado' (1954), "Escape from Five Shadows" (1956), "Last Stand at Saber River" (1959), "Hombre" (1961), and "Valdez is Coming" (1970). By the 1970s, Hollywood's interest in Western movies had waned and he began to focus his writing on crime and suspense novels, like "Swag" (1976), "The Hunted" (1977, as "Hat Trick"), "Killshot" (1989), "Get Shorty" (1990), "Pronto" (1993), "The Hot Kid" (2005), and "Road Dogs" (2009). He wrote the screenplays for "The Moonshine War" (1970), "Joe Kidd" (1972), "Mr. Majestyk" (1974), "High Noon, Part II" (1980, for television), "Stick" (1985, with Joseph Stinson), "52 Pick-Up" (1986, with John Stepping), "The Rosary Murders" (1987, with William X. Kienzle and Fred Walton), "Desperado" (1987, television series), and "Cat Chaser" (1989). During his career, he wrote almost 50 novels, with 25 of them being adapted into either film or television movies, or television series. Among his honors and awards include the 1992 Grand Master Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, the 2008 F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Award for outstanding achievement in American literature, the 2010 Peabody Award for FX's "Justified," and the 2012 National Book Award, Medal for Distinguished Contribution. He died at his home of complications from a stroke at the age of 87.

On April 11, 1916, Samuel Blake Chapman was born in Tiburon, where rail yard sandlots provided the perfect venue for childhood baseball. The "Tiburon Terror" went on to play on the varsity baseball team at Tamalpais High School and then showcased his talent in football at UC Berkeley, helping his team win the Rose Bowl in 1938. Recruited by both professional baseball and football teams, Chapman chose baseball, playing with the Philadelphia Athletics for 10 seasons as an outfielder. (In 1946, he hit three home runs in a game against Boston.) His pro career ended in 1954 after three seasons with the Oakland Oaks. Today, a plaque in Point Tiburon Plaza (pictured) honors the Bay Area Hall of Famer.

My Downfall
I knew it.
I knew eventually doing Hannah's hair would be my downfall. There's only so many times a mom can tell a kid to stop moving their head before they yell it... "HANNAH, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING GOOD AND DECENT AND ADORABLE... HOLD!!! STILL!!!"
And it's not just the fact that I have to say it over and over. Every now and then when I tell Hannah to hold still for some reason her brain translates my words as "Hey kid, shake your head from side to side a whole bunch really fast." I don't know why this happens, but I do know it makes me crazy. I also know it takes a LOT of intense concentration to resist yelling in this circumstance. I'm getting really good at it, as my previous 35 days without yelling can attest to.
BUT, every now and then she does that AND I'm in a really big hurry. It's the perfect storm. This is what happened yesterday before church.
So I'm back down to zero. I yelled... And not just my exasperated yell, my mean yell that makes her cry. We both know the difference and yesterday I crossed that line. Poor Hannah. Is a straight part and even pigtails worth sad little tears rolling down her freckled little cheeks?
We all know the answer to that question.

Carnegie Mellon School of Drama to Host Alumna Dagmara Dominczyk, 2/28
The School of Drama at Carnegie Mellon University is sponsoring "A Conversation With Dagmara Dominczyk" from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 28, in the Rauh Theater of the Purnell Center for the Arts. Professor of Drama Barbara Mackenzie-Wood will lead the discussion, which is free and open to the public.
Dominczyk, a 1998 graduate of the School of Drama, is an actress and author of "The Lullaby of Polish Girls," a novel loosely based on her youth in her native Poland. She will sign copies of her book in the Purnell Center lobby following the discussion.
Domincyzk has worked on Broadway, in films and on television; most recently she was in the Broadway revival of "Golden Boy." She turned to writing because she was inspired by her parents' political history and her family's immigrant story. In 1981, when Martial Law was declared in Poland, Dominczyk's father, a founding member of the workers' union Solidarity, was imprisoned. She and her family were deported to the United States in 1982, arriving in Brooklyn with only two suitcases in hand.
"Lullaby" chronicles some of that history and focuses on the friendship of three women from their youth in a small Polish town in the 1980s to their complicated adult lives. A murder that reaches across oceans brings them back together long after they've left home.
Carnegie Mellon (www.cmu.edu) is a private, internationally ranked research university with programs in areas ranging from science, technology and business, to public policy, the humanities and the arts. More than 12,000 students in the university's seven schools and colleges benefit from a small student-to-faculty ratio and an education characterized by its focus on creating and implementing solutions for real problems, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. A global university, Carnegie Mellon's main campus in the United States is in Pittsburgh, Pa. It has campuses in California's Silicon Valley and Qatar, and programs in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and Mexico.

A magnitude 2.5 microquake occurred at 10:55 p.m. Tuesday near the San Diego Maritime Museum on Harbor Drive on San Diego Bay, says the U.S. Geological Survey. The shaker, which was not widely felt, appears to have been produced by the Rose Canyon fault, a strike-slip system that extends onshore, roughly from Mission Valley to La Jolla. The fault hasn't produced a significant quake since the period before European settlers moved into the region, says USGS. But seismologists say it is possible that the Rose Canyon could produce a 7.0 or larger quake if it broke on conjunction with the Newport-Inglewood fault.

Protective Arc-Resistant Switchgear
American Electric Technologies now offers arc-resistant switchgear designed for offshore and onshore applications. Arc flashes can be channeled through venting ducts out of the top of the system away from the operator, or into a safe location with an application-specific exhaust. In addition, AETI offers an arc-mitigation system which can be paired with arc-resistant products to isolate the arc-fault and reduce the incident energy contributed by the source.

Ensuring Smokeless Flares
The Model FM Flare Monitor for Smokeless Flares from Williamson Corporation, as part of a petrochemical plant's closed-loop control system, helps prevent smoke before it is produced. The monitor senses the conditions precursory to soot formation, not soot particulates. The output signal typically goes to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control system that activates a control valve to modulate the amount of added air or steam as needed, ensuring that there is ample oxygen for the combustion without the need for operator intervention.

Bob Covering the Neck
Click to enlargeJill Flint arrived with bells on at the New York City Premiere of "Rabbit Hole" on December 02, 2010. She wore her coal black hair shaped in a long bob that covered her neck and with one side tucked behind her ear.
Her crooked part was not unnoticed by the eager fans and bystanders who were watching her picture being taken. Crooked parts have been with us for quite awhile now and it looks like they will be with us for a few more years.
Jill wears her eyebrows thin, something like the stars of the 30s and 40s. I assure you if she were to wear her straight hair in waves, she would be a sure match for that era. She is wearing eyeliner, mascara and fire engine lipstick. Her gray dress is arrayed with a smoky necklace.
At first glance of Jill we see black, white and red and eventually the grey. The finale of her over all package is her stringed black necklace that positions everything together.

Willowdale Peeper: the bane of residents
Under the cover of darkness, a Peeping Tom has eluded police
May 24, 2006 at 11:45 am | Mobile Reader | Print
For over a year now, a Peeping Tom has been seen peering through windows, skirting fences and ducking and darting through backyards in these otherwise quiet neighborhoods.
Officials have responded quickly to the calls, but the problem, according to Sheriff Greg Champagne, is that the residents who have seen the Peeping Tom actually peeping have not been able to identify the person. In order for the police to arrest someone for peeping, they must have this direct testimony, said Champagne.
According to the sheriff, catching a Peeping Tom is very difficult because it occurs under the cover of darkness, preventing potential witnesses from seeing the perpertrator's face. This is exactly what happened to Davis Plantation resident, Ryan Lambert.
One evening in late-March, Lambert, who lives on Asphodel Dr., was outside throwing the ball with his dog Jojo at 9:10 when he turned around and spotted a man coming out of his neighbor's back yard. "At first I thought it was my neighbor and was about to throw the ball toward him so that Jojo would run toward him and scare him," said Lambert. But when the long-time resident got a better look, he noticed that the tall, slim stranger dressed in a black hooded suit -- which residents on the street later dubbed a ninja suit -- was not his neighbor.
Instead, Lambert realized he was witnessing the notorious Peeping Tom in action. Lambert and his black lab were hidden in the darkness and the man didn't notice them, as he nonchalantly crossed the street 3 houses down and proceeded to peer into the window of neighbor Lloyd Landry's house. "He acted like he owned the place," described the big strapping fishing guide, who thought about chasing the guy down but decided to go for his gun instead. While in the house, he yelled for his wife to call the police.
Lambert, who runs Cajun Fishing Adventures in Buras and is often out of town, is very protective of his and his neighbors' property and said that he would have shot the man if he had gotten the chance. But the peeper had vanished by the time the armed Lambert returned. During the incident, Lambert never did get a look at the hooded man's face.
For the past year, the neighborhood buzz of this close-knit Luling community has been about the Peeping Tom. Sheriff Greg Champagne says they have received 7 or 8 calls during the past 12 months by residents reporting that they have seen a Peeping Tom.
"Nearly everyone down my street has seen him," said Lambert, who described the peeper as having a slim build and over 6 feet tall.
Besides these reports, several walkers, joggers and bikers have run across a "suspicious jogger" dressed in all-black sprinting between houses and through back yards - not your normal jogging route. According to reported sightings, his peeping times are between 8 and 10:30 in the evening and 4 and 6 in the morning.
The problem is that the voyeur must be caught in the act, just looking suspicious doesn't count. And getting caught trespassing in someone's backyard is only a misdemeanor. For that matter, a Peeping Tom conviction is only a misdemeanor and a first offence carries a fine of only $500 and/or imprisonment for 6 months.
The punishment is small potatoes for such an invasive crime in which the victims feel violated long after their privacy has been breeched - just ask Lloyd Landry.
After Lambert went to confront the peeper and could not find him, he knocked on Landry's door and told him what happened. Both men then searched the premises and the neighborhood for the offender. When the police arrived, they attempted to track the peeper with the canine unit, but the trail was lost.
At the time, Landry's children and wife were at home - and witnessed the entire scene. The concerned dad said his kids have been scared to go outside ever since the incident occurred.
Landry, who has Outcast Fishing Charters out of Buras, is often gone overnight and said he would have shot the guy if he would have had the opportunity, adding, "It's a shame because my deputy friends said that I would have been the one who would have gone to jail."
Both Lambert and Landry are at their wits end. "This is the third time he's been chased around our neighborhood," said Landry, who added the peeper travels the pipeline canal behind their house. "A month before Katrina, the wife of a neighbor saw the man looking through the window at her. Her husband actually chased him through my yard and lunged at him."
While Landry and Lambert have been proactive, "We don't encourage anybody to confront somebody," said Sheriff Champagne, adding that anyone who sees something suspicious should call 911.

Ask Savvy: Should I Split the Mortgage With My Boyfriend Who Earns More?
Dear Savvy,
My boyfriend and I are looking to buy our first home together. He makes about $25,000 more than me per year and we both have similar expenses when it comes to our loans (I make about $56k and he makes about $81k). We're very realistic that relationships don't always work out in the end, but right now, we're very happy and believe we will get married and have children in the future.
Because I cannot afford as much of a monthly payment on a mortgage as he can, he has told me he wouldn't mind paying more than me. I told him that, realistically, the smart way to think about this is as a business transaction, and in the end, if we do split up, I will still get 50 percent of our house, but he will have paid more into it. He really appreciated my honesty on this point, but hadn't thought about it himself.
He then said he could pay the bills or food or something else to ensure I wasn't broke at the end of every month, if we did choose to buy a nicer house than we could if using only my salary. What's your opinion on this? Do you think we should split the mortgage payment in half no matter what? When you add our salaries together, we are doing pretty well, but I alone couldn't get my own mortgage. Please give me as much advice as you can before I buy my first home!
To see my answer,
Savvy says: It's awesome that you and your boyfriend communicate so well and that is certainly one big key to a lasting, successful relationship. You both understand that right now doesn't always translate into forever, and that's so important when making big decisions like buying a home together.
Whether you are splitting the mortgage down the middle and your boyfriend is paying more toward other bills, or he's paying more of the mortgage while the rest of the bills are split down the middle, your boyfriend is still paying more than you are in total. Either way you cut it, it's all about whether or not you are comfortable with him contributing more than you to your household expenses.
Your boyfriend seems totally content paying a larger share, and I know many couples who divide most of their bills including rent (in your case a mortgage payment) as a percentage of how much they each bring home. It's all about what makes you feel comfortable — the last thing you want is for money issues to come between you two.
Savvy gals, how would you handle this situation?
