i'm not really a pajamas person
but when some sleeping wear is required
nightgowns are right up my alley
i used pattern from burda magazine from april of 1975
it's made of black satin
and some elastic lace trim
(i run out of lace, but i do plan to add same trim
to the hem of the skirt as well)
really quick and easy project
might use it again
for a nightgown in different color
and, although pattern is for the nightgown
i believe it would make a nice summer dress
if made in different fabric
see more pics on my blog
1,3 m black satin fabric
1 m elastic lace trim
0,5 m elastic (3cm wide)

Such a stylish nightie! And you are right, it would make a lovely dress too :-)

There's a whole bunch of Aussies going on the Alaska cruise, this year. Maybe some of them will end up booking the 40th Anniversary Cruise, as well.
You'll likely find a ship full of ladies wanting to make new friends! That's what we so love about Olivia trips! Welcome and look forward to seeing you on our wonderful celebration cruise!

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Bobby was A1 for knowledge, organisation and friendliness
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Nothing to worry about, well directed and looked after. Kinabalu is hard work and some will have altitude problems so half a Diamox tablet twice a day may make you feel better during climb.
Do you have anything else to add?
Riverboat trips at Bilit seeing proboscis monkeys, hornbills, kingfishers, monitor lizards, crocodiles etc wonderful. Pygmy elephants had moved down river but outside chance of seeing too. Manukan Island idyllic. Hotels absolutely fine.

Turning in her keys after nearly 50 years
Longtime bus driver retiring
AMBOY – Velma Quest has dozens of grandchildren.
Only a few of them are really hers; the rest are the children she drives to and from school on a big, yellow school bus.
Quest has driven a bus for the Amboy School District since 1965. She's hauled hundreds of students and logged thousands of miles over her nearly 50 years behind the wheel. But she's ready to turn in her keys – in 2 weeks, just 2 days before her 80th birthday.

Exit Stage Left: Cardinal O'Malley's Fit of Pique
20 May 2013 - Boston's Cardinal Seán O'Malley has withdrawn from the Boston College graduation rather than share the stage with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny...There is something at stake with Kenny's appearance at Boston College, but O'Malley's focus on the abortion legislation introduced by Kenny's government is not it. At issue is the nature of a Catholic university, or, put another way, what kind of society we want our Catholic universities to exist in. These are the questions that engage students, graduates and citizens. Read more.

Catholics Condemn Delay in Ruling on Life-Saving Abortion for "Beatriz" in El Salvador

Billboard and Newspapers in Nairobi Proclaim that "Good Catholics Use Condoms"
25 April 2013 - The Condoms4Life Campaign today assured Kenyans that Catholics support the use of condoms to prevent the spread of HIV. A billboard in Nairobi and newspaper ads in the Standard (today) and the Daily Nation (on Sunday) show an authentically Catholic message supporting the use of condoms as an HIV prevention method.
"The campaign is vital," said CFC president and campaign coordinator Jon O'Brien, "because the bishops' recent activities are not representative of Catholic teachings or beliefs. Catholics do support the use of condoms, and they do use them to protect themselves and their partners." Read more.

Catholic Leader Rejects Ireland's Band-Aid on Abortion Access
1 May 2013 - "The Irish government has done what was required of it by a 1992 Irish Supreme Court ruling and a 2010 European Court Human Rights decision, but that does nothing for the vast majority of those Irish women who seek abortions," said Jon O'Brien, the Irish-born president of Catholics for Choice. "Prime Minister Enda Kenny took the line of least resistance, crafting a bill that does the minimum demanded by the courts. The 'Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill' is an insult to the thousands of women who, every year, are forced to travel overseas to access abortion services." Read more.new publication

Great game..... once you get good Review by Baneyke
Quality Price Service Ok, here are your options. You can buy this package and get three multiplayer games. Or you can buy the retail version of Half Life 2 and get Counter Strike:Source, Half Life 2 Deathmatch, and the story version of HL2. Basically, with this package versus HL2 retail, you will be trading the story version of HL2 for the multiplayer game Day of Defeat and whatever price difference there is. (Posted on 1/19/11)
Very Pleased with this game Review by Goddy
Service Quality Price I love this game. I've not played counter-strike since I was a sophomore in high school, and getting to play it again with all of my friends was amazing. It was great. I highly recommend this game to anyone over the age of 16. (Posted on 12/2/10)

4. | Bobby Flay | ||
(n.) a braggart, especially in the area of culinary arts (v.) to add unnecessary amounts of heat/ spice to a dish (in attempt to mask mediocrity) 1. Kayla: "I can't stand that guy, he's such a Bobby Flay."
Melissa: "He's probably just overcompensating because he's a ginge." 2. "I'll pass on the sriracha, you always Bobby Flay the hell out of your macaroni and cheese." |
1. | bobby flay | ||
the biggest jerk ever. he makes home town cooks lose on his show to make himself look better. if he loses its just funny. Quit being a bobby flay!
2. | Bobby Flay | ||
A ginger with no talent who throws blue corn and ancho chile powder on EVERYTHING to make it tex mex. The ultimate in Douchbag-dom. Example: "Hey guys, I made sure the teacher didn't forget to give us homework tonight. You guys should come over and I'll make some blue corn enchilidas with ancho chiles."
"Wow, Todd's really being a Bobby Flay right now" |
3. | Bobby Flay | ||
The OED defines 'Bobby Flay' as 'A Twenty-First century synonym for douchebag' Also: 'The unfortunate consequence of the union between television, ego, and blinding mediocrity.'
That guy in the member's only jacket is such a 'Bobby Flay.'
5. | Bobby Flay | ||
A guy who gets drunk on his show and often claims that the drink is the most important part of the meal. He makes this claim because his food is really bad and his drinks will distract the public from this.
Typically he does douche-y things and makes people feel bad about themselves to gain power. "Can you believe how drunk he was last night?"
"Yeah, he was a total Bobby Flay." |
6. | Bobby Flay | ||
One of three Iron Chefs on Food Network's Iron Chef America, a knockoff of the Japanese cult sensation Iron Chef. Cooks in the Southwestern style, and has a nasty habit of clumsily knocking over things during battles. Oh, shit! Flay just knocked over the bowl of salt!
7. | bobby flay | ||
The ultimate crusader of good vs. evil. In the epic battle against Rachel Ray and her regime of evil, Bobby Flay is the head of the IAAIRWATFOE, or The Intergalactic and also Inter-Reality Warriors Against the Forces of Evil. He rides his rusty steed, Falcor, into battle and weilds the legendary Vorpal Blade. He is also the best cook on the food network, followed closely by Alton Brown; although this is only his cover-up identity to help fund his campaign of good. Whenever you donate to unicef your money goes to his cause. Man! Did you see Bobby Flay totally just humiliate Rachel Ray by making food so amazingly good that if she ate it her head would explode?!

University of St. Thomas Contact: Claire M. McDonald, email@example.com The Studio Arts Program is offered through The Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It provides the student with an extensive background in theory, aesthetics, and practice in the visual arts. In collaboration with the required art history program at UST, this development occurs within a Catholic perspective incorporating aspects of global art history from the classic to the contemporary working world. Additionally the studio arts program provides every student with the opportunity for creative exploration and expression in a variety of media. The program offers the student a choice of curriculums culminating in either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Studio Arts or a dual Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Fine Arts (BA/BFA) degree in Studio Arts. Students desiring to declare a major in studio arts must first complete the four fundamentals (1000 level) courses and undergo a portfolio review before admittance to the major can be considered. In the event that a portfolio is rated unsatisfactory, the student still has the option to declare the liberal arts major with a secondary concentration in studio arts or a minor in studio arts. All students (first time and transfer) desiring advanced placement in studio arts are required to prepare a portfolio of eight to ten original works (actual work is preferred to slides or photographic reproductions) in any media, and present it for review to the studio program chair at the Glassell School of Art. This process allows for correct placement and provides students and our program with the best possible indication of future success in the program. Transfer students should be especially mindful that a minimum of six semesters is required to complete the BA studio arts major sequence in a single medium. Additionally not all studio arts credits transferred to the university will meet the standards of our program and may not be applicable to the major. Conversely, transfer credits accepted by the program can reduce the number semesters required to complete the major. The quality of the portfolio submitted will be a determining factor. After completing the four fundamental prerequisites, BA candidates proceed to the beginning-level courses that introduce technical and conceptual ideas essential to a studio arts practice. Upper-division students focus on one of the concentrations of ceramics, jewelry, multi-media, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture. All majors will develop a portfolio of work. BA/BFA candidates will follow the same curriculum as BA candidates for the first two years.

New Production
About the production
When his adored sister's death awakes him to a realisation of life's essential absurdity, the Roman emperor Caligula embarks upon an orgy of sexual depravity and sadistic cruelty in an apparently insane attempt to free himself from the shackles of mortality and morality.
Based upon Albert Camus's existentialist response to the rise of Hitler and Stalin, but as topical as ever in the era of Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi, Detlev Glanert's 2006 opera – 'perhaps the finest German opera of the 21st century' (Tempo) – offers a disturbing insight into the self-destructive logic driving a decadent and dangerous dictatorship.
Audacious young Australian director Benedict Andrews highlights the timeliness of the opera's themes by setting his UK premiere production in a football stadium, the kind of vast public arena within which dictators habitually play out their political games.

The Daily Beast -- Awful accusations–especially those concerning pedigreed children of beloved Hollywood icons–spread like viral wildfire. So it went Tuesday when word detonated across the Web that Henry Hopper, the Adonis-handsome 21-year-old son of '60s counter-culture icon Dennis Hopper, has been accused of raping an underage girl.
According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Hopper allegedly engaged in "sexually offensive conduct" with, reportedly, an unnamed 15-year-old girl, including forced oral copulation, sexual intercourse, and sodomy. The girl's mother (who filed the suit) claims Hopper invited the young woman to his Venice, Calif., home and plied her with drugs and alcohol, "taking advantage of her youth and vulnerability."
RELATED: Diana Ross 'Has No Intention of Taking' Michael Jackson's Kids
While Hopper, costar of Gus Van Sant's 2011 oddball movie romance Restless, has yet to speak out, even Hollywood's most seasoned celeb watchers have been left scratching their heads. Who is Henry Hopper? And given his scant résumé as an actor, his deliberate evasion of the spotlight and resulting mystique, precisely how out of character is this kind of behavior for Dennis Hopper's son? (Police sources told The Daily Beast they have no record of an investigation involving Hopper at this time. Hopper's representative did not return a call to comment.)
The actor's rise out of obscurity and into pop consciousness reads like the story of a side character in Bret Easton Ellis's "Less Than Zero." As a young teen, Hopper enrolled in weekend acting classes at Los Angeles's Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute and by age 16 had been scouted by an agent. From there, he spent a few years shunning various film and television offers. "I ended up saying no to a lot of things because there aren't that many inspiring parts for young people," Hopper told Interview magazine. "We often get squandered, doing stuff like Disney Channel and all that bullshit."
RELATED: Too Young for Make-Up?
The native Angeleno (whose mother is Dennis Hopper's fourth wife, actress Katherine LaNasa) matriculated at the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied sculpture and painting -- with a minor in skinny dipping in the CalArts pool -- but dropped out after a year, traveling to the bohemian mecca of Berlin where Hopper shot films, lived in an artists' collective, and continued to create artwork.
Director Gus Van Sant is renowned for cherry-picking young up-and-comers such as River Phoenix and Heather Graham to star in his films. He heard about Hopper, then 18, from a casting director, and convinced the unknown to travel from Germany to Los Angeles for an audition. Even then, Hopper's ambivalence about following in his famous father's footsteps was evident. "I don't think he really wanted to do [the audition]," Van Sant recalled at last year's Cannes Film Festival.
RELATED: Stars' Engagement Rings
Nonetheless, he cast Hopper as Enoch Brae, a morbid yet quirky teen who plays Battleship with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze pilot, crashes funerals, and falls in love with Mia Wasikowska's terminally ill character. And the role almost immediately put Hopper's career on the fast track with the Hollywood entertainment website the Wrap proclaiming the newcomer one of the "discoveries" at Cannes that year.
Part of Hopper's ability to hold the screen comes in no small part from his unmistakable resemblance to his father—a screen legend who proudly let his freak flag fly as one of the edgiest actors of the '60s and '70s, turning in indelible performances in such movie classics as Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now (as well as journeyman character-actor performances in director David Lynch's Blue Velvet and as the villain in Speed). The elder Hopper, infamous for his voracious consumption of booze and drugs, who kept a loaded arsenal of guns in his house until the day he died, passed away in 2009 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Henry, for his part, threw himself into filming Restless as a means of coping with his grief.
RELATED: Too Young to Marry?
"I think of Restless as a very special film, it's a tool for what I was going through," Hopper said in Cannes. "It was an incredible tool at that time of my life when I was asking myself those questions—some spiritual things, which ended up really being in connection with the earth and nature. There were interesting parallels. I feel passionately about the film—it does justice to that experience [of death]."
Although Hopper is set to make his next big-screen appearance opposite James Franco and Mila Kunis in the upcoming drama "Tar," a biopic about the poet C.K. Williams, earlier this year, Hopper received his first blush of tabloid notoriety when he was photographed fetching Grey Goose vodka and Red Bulls from a Venice Beach liquor store with Lindsay Lohan. "Lindsay's been in here before. And today she brings in this young guy and they were all touchy-feely and they kissed on the lips a couple of times," a liquor-store employee told the paparazzi agency X17.
RELATED: Stars Who Mistreat the Help
The mother of the alleged victim says in the lawsuit that the young woman suffered significant injuries to her emotional health, according to TMZ, and her treatment required the employ of "multiple mental health care professionals." She is suing for unspecified damages.
Los Angeles County District Attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons told The Daily Beast her office has not been contacted by the local police regarding Hopper. "We haven't been presented a case," Gibbons said. "We have not been contacted by the LAPD at all."
Christine Pelisek contributed reporting to this story.

LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa today announced that the Port of Los Angeles will take several important steps to "identify and reduce" the significant greenhouse gases generated at the Port of Los Angeles. The agreement, which was approved last night by the Harbor Commission, specifically addresses the global warming impact of the TraPac terminal expansion.
"This path breaking agreement calls for several important steps that will identify and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with maritime operations at the Port of Los Angeles," Attorney General Brown told a news conference today with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Under the agreement, the port will conduct a comprehensive inventory of port-related greenhouse gases—-tracking these emissions from their foreign sources to domestic distribution points throughout the United States. The port will annually report this data to the California Climate Action Registry, a program which gathers baselines emissions data about greenhouse gases generated in California. This annual report will include:
• Emissions of all ships bound to and from the Port of Los Angeles terminals, encompassing points of origin and destination
• Emissions of all rail transit to and from Port terminals, encompassing major rail cargo destination and distribution points in the United States
• Emissions of all truck transit to and from Port terminals, encompassing major truck destinations and distribution points
The port-wide inventory will be conducted annually until AB 32 regulations become effective.
"Today's agreement demonstrates the commitment of the City and Port of Los Angeles to take specific and concrete steps to fight global warming," Brown said.
Under the agreement the Port will also construct a 10 Mega-Watt photovoltaic solar system to offset approximately 17,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. The Port is also adopting a program to use electricity, rather than conventional fossil fuels, to power ocean-going vessels when in port.
Imports of foreign goods are a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions. A recent study published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers estimated that the annual emissions associated with the foreign manufacture and importation of electronic goods into the United States total approximately 470 million metric tons—-the equivalent of nearly all the emissions from the State of California. Ocean-going vessels alone emit more CO2 emissions than any nation in the world except the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, India and Germany. These emissions are projected to increase nearly 75% during the next 20 years.
The need for action to combat climate disruption is urgent. Last month, Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chief of the Noble-prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that, "if there's no action before 2012, that's too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment."
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned that while industrialized countries account for about 80% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions, the poorest nations will suffer the most severe consequences of climate change. Increased flooding from glacier melting could reduce freshwater availability for Central, South, East, and South-East Asia, potentially harming more than a billion people by 2050. Disruption of freshwater access in Africa could decrease agricultural production and may threaten up to 250 million people by 2020. Latin America will likely see a drop in crop productivity due to global warming, leading to an increased risk of starvation.

We're incredibly proud of the next generation of creative talent that graduated from Columbia College Chicago over the weekend. Commencement ceremonies were held May 18-19 at the historic Chicago Theatre.
On May 17, Columbia College Chicago hosted its annual urban arts festival showcasing the creativity of the student body. From art exhibitions to readings, original designs to singer showcases, the talent spilled out from Columbia's South Loop campus and onto the streets.
All incoming students need to RSVP for orientation--a great opportunity to make new friends, get acquainted with campus, and start living what you love.
In a recent visit to the Semester in LA program, young alumni were happy to share success stories and tips for making it in the competitive entertainment business.
After lending her voice to radio and commercial work, Ashley Davis (BA '08) found success running her own voice-over company, Bad Ash Voice.
Nikola Dokic (BA '08), Robert Palos (BA '08), and Adis Sirbubalo (BA '07) each tried to leave their old worlds behind when they came to America. But after meeting, these three musicians found friendship and fulfillment by embracing—instead of running from—their roots.

Made this for the first time, on a recommendation. We really liked it. It was good as leftovers. To lower the sodium I would use powders instead of salts next time and leave out the saltines. I feel they weren't needed and didn't add any flavor. I used a 8 oz. bag of shredded marble jack blend cheese. I added crab meat to it also. Definitely will be making this again.

The Christian philosopher Alvin Plantinga writes that as a student at Yale the academic culture was wonderfully stimulating, free and open in most every respect but one: whenever the question, "What is the truth about this matter?" came up, it was usually dismissed as unsophisticated and naive. Obviously, Pilate's question to Jesus, "What is truth?" remains an open issue and an unsolvable riddle – if not a purely rhetorical question – to most of our current crop of cultural elites. As William Gairdner notes in The Book of Absolutes, "Ironically, relativism has become our only absolute."
Practically-speaking, the question of whether objective truth exists is the foundational issue of the Christian faith. Although people identify with the Christian faith for a variety of reasons, ultimately the only reason for being a Christian is if in fact it is true. But if relativists are right and there is no truth, then all doctrines and professions of faith are purely subjective – in which case the Christian faith is essentially a fraud and its unique truth-claims are ludicrous.
Philosopher Peter Kreeft observes that of all the symptoms of decay in our culture, relativism is the most disastrous. It is, in the words of Michael Novak, "an invisible gas, odorless and deadly, that is polluting every free society on earth." C. S. Lewis called it "the disease that will certainly end our species (and… damn our souls) if it is not crushed." It is also the insidious and divisive deception that is driving the culture war and perpetuating the gridlock in our political system.
The absolute truth about relativism is that it is intellectually and morally bankrupt and the basis for much of the spiritual deception in our society today. It is, in effect, the fundamental heresy of our time.

The Kingdom of Noise:
A Screwtape Letter for the 21st Century
In 1942, C.S. Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters, an imaginary collection of letters between a senior devil (Screwtape) and his neophyte pupil (Wormwood) on the techniques and tactics for harassing the Enemy (God) and seducing, distracting, and frustrating his followers (Christians). The following is an updated version on this theme.
… Good news! The latest commendations have arrived from the Council of the Pit. You impress the lower-downs, my zealous Wormwood. They have heard of your proposals to the Noise Proliferation Committee (NPC). Indeed, places of solitude and moments of silence grow ever more scarce in the Enemy's vast and vulgar dominion. Oh, what euphoria to see his insufferable creatures constantly multi-tasking, rushing to fill the dead air with a cacophony of cell phones and muzak, leaf blowers and motorcycles, 24-hour news and ipods – not to mention car stereos cranked up full-blast and serenading the city-scape with the hellish sounds of hip-hop and heavy metal. Those nauseating humans cannot escape their self-made dungeon of din! My pride bubbles like brimstone, Wormwood.

It's perhaps not his best known work, but like so much of what he cooked up at the Black Ark, totally essential, from the organ driven rhythm of Juks Dread & Big Youth's "23rd Psalm", to the murky, soulful "Ethiopian Land", to the Upsetter's chugging groove under "Well Judged Dub", voiced as "Judgement Day" by Clive Hilton. Also includes Mystic's "Forward With Jah Orthodox", The Bluebells "Come Along", Watty & Tony's "Rise & Shine" and more. 13 tracks on the vinyl. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Tomorrow, the battle for the presidency reaches its dramatic conclusion. And while a split between the popular and electoral vote is highly unlikely, the crusade to change the system will drag on. Those who argue most vociferously for scrapping the Electoral College — let's call them scrappers — claim the current approach is rooted in outdated values. They insist that relying on the national popular vote would be simpler, more modern, and egalitarian. Unfortunately, those are the same arguments that gave us the leisure suit.
The Electoral College was intended, first and foremost, to retain a pre-eminent role for states in choosing their president. The framers believed that states mattered, empowering them with equal status in the Senate regardless of population. They didn't oppose popular will outright; members of Congress and state "electors" have been chosen by direct vote for over 200 years. Yet they sought a system that would discount lopsided statewide votes and regional candidates — which the Electoral College very much did in 1888. That year, Grover Cleveland lost the presidency despite a popular vote margin that came from landslide victories across the post-Civil War South.
Sununu has done himself great harm with is speak before thinking remarks as a Romney surrogate. Why the Globe publishes his tripe is beyond me.
The problem is not with the constitutional EC, but with the state laws that implement the determination of EC votes. Most folks who call for elimination are actually quite uninformed about how system works. My bet is that if state by state referendum was taken on EC, the basic framework would remain in place while individual state approaches to how to select Electors would change.
This is transparently wrong. Today, one day before the election, my Massachusetts presidential vote is meaningless, the outcome, for me, a foregone conclusion, the candidates busy elsewhere, while a voter in certain counties of Ohio can practically expect to ride to to polls with the candidate of his choosing. With the current system, entire states are ignored, and not just small ones; most individual voters are irrelevant; and localized voter supression is an effective strategy. Nationwide popular elections would make every individual vote count, and undercut the 'wedge issue' campaigning that we now must endure since candidates would be forced to develop broad-based appeal.
Coming just before election, Sandy has made a strong case for the EC. The states most heavily hit are expected to vote for Obama; however, total turnout will probably be significantly reduced, due to the disruption of people and polling places. If we used popular vote, the reduced turnout could swing the election.

"The framers believed that states mattered, empowering them with equal status in the Senate regardless of population." Correction: the framers from small states believed that states mattered, and the framers from large states believed that population mattered. As with much of the Consitution the Electoral College was a compromise that attempted to balance competing interests. It is very much in the interest of Republicans to support the Electoral Collage because demographic trends are not in their favor. However, I am not persuaded by the arguments in support of eliminating the Electoral College, mostly because a major Constitutional change like that requires the strongest possible justification, and I'm not seeing that.
I predict that, come Wednesday, if President Obama is elected to a second term despite losing the popular vote to Mitt Romney the most vociferous scrapper will be none other than John E. Sununu. In 'rairness' to Rush Limbaugh it is possible he will be the loudest, with former Senator Sununu being second-loudest.
Time for states to sign up to give delegates to the winner of the popular vote. As it stands now, the rural vote counts more than the urban vote. That may have worked better when the country was more agrarian, but we live in an urban society and all votes should count the same.
With respect I disagree regarding alloting of delegates. That still disenfranchises voters, especially if the majority in a state voted for the losing candidate. I consider Maine's system of allotment by district to be far fairer than winner-take-all, but, as long as we have the Electoral College, and as long as states decide on their own voting rules, overturning the will of the majority of a state's voters is just wrong. Either amend the Constitution to replace or reform the Electoral College, and accept that not everyone will be happy with the outcome, or accept that when states do it themselves, not everyone will be happy with the outcome.

While I normally think almost everything Sununu writes is nonsense in this case I think he makes a reasonable arguement for keeping the electoral college. I generally have believed it should be done away with in these "modern" times, but the point that it gives voice to smaller states is valid. How would the middle of the U.S. feel if the popular vote were determined by heavy turnout in the northeast and California. It is at least a good argument for keeping it. The idea of getting states to change the way they allocate their votes has been a republican ploy to undo the winnner takes all approach in states that normally vote democratic but not in republican states. So I believe it should remain as it is or be done away with completely - not modified state by state.
Sununu does not dare articulate the real reason the right wants to keep the electoral college. A few number of swing states allow the dirty tricks operatives of Rove and the Koch brothers to concentrate their efforts to steal elections.
The Ohio Secretary of State, a Republican, just authorized the use of uncertified experimental software on some of the states vote counting machines. Elderly voters in swing states have been getting robocalls telling them that they did not need to travel to the polling places - they could vote over the phone. Etc. Etc.
There may be arguments for keeping the EC, but this isn't it:
Think about that for a moment: The country votes, and the state effectively declares: "We're with the winner." In Massachusetts' case, it boils down to this: "Let the other 98 percent of America decide who should receive our electoral votes. We can't be bothered."
It is interesting that if Romney wins the popular vote then the electoral votes of Massachusetts, California, Illinois and several other states will go to Romney, taking a big chunk of what Obama is counting on.
Although I can't help but think there is a loop home in the laws of these states that let's the secretary of state say - "Never mind".
I do not find the argument that, "If you live in a state with a few voters, your voice matters more," very compelling. The legislative branch of government already has a body (the Senate) in which small state representation is deliberately disproportionate. I fail to see that Sunnunu has made a good case for expanding this.
"Trees cause pollution" Sununu is a despicable character, and why the Globe degrades itself by airing the opinions of this deeply racist man are beyond our comprehension. If slavery were still legal and being debated, John Sununu would be making arguments for it (and maybe the Globe would be running them).
Even more desperately needed than reform of the Electoral College is a set of uniform national standards for national elections. On the eve of the election, Republican governors in the swing states of Florida and Ohio have been restricting voting times, thereby causing long lines and waits of up to 8 hours in some places. These transparently naked acts of voter suppression, aimed at urban and minority polling sites, are completely reprehensible affronts to democracy.
It shows how deeply cynical conservatives are when it comes to the concept of unversal democracy. They have no scruples whatsoever. With huge amounts of money from hidden, ultra-rich backers, they have succeeded in bamboozling almost half the country. Tomorrow we will see if all the money and lying pays off for them.

February 27-
Today was good overall.. skipped English to finish homework which was successfully completed for once. And added bonus, got to spend more than 2 minutes in the morning making myself look decent LOL :P.
Then spare where Miranda and I have never done more than 3 questions of any given subject…we're so productive. All we do is talk about people. I swear I have some bad karma coming my way.
But then lockdown yayyy. Well, the bomb threat part is not so yay but the getting to miss chem part is. We watched Mean Girls and played Monopoly in the library for 3 hours. Good use of time even though I failed miserably at Monopoly and people were providing ANNOYING commentary throughout the movie.
So the only class I went to today was psych and AWE :) cutest movie that we're watching right now :D. Also, 97% on my psych presentation. What the heck…haha after the incredible embarrassment that was Friday's class, these were definitely pity marks.
Best news of today? WL isn't due tomorrow :D Happy happy. Will eat a donut to celebrate… not that I have ever needed a reason to eat a donut.
While we're on that, worst part of today? People really never fail to annoy me..would expand but my keyboard is already mostly broken; it doesn't need my anger haha.
Linkages was good too. Georg showed me [multiple] copies he made of the photo I made for him. He rolled them up in tubes to send to his sister and friends in Germany :'). It`s so nice how much he appreciates it and how it sits right next to the picture of his wife. Speaking of his wife, today he read me letters from when he was in the war [to and from his wife]. So sweet :'). We also had a mini celebration of my birthday haha he sang to me. And offered me a glass of wine which I obviously declined but the gesture was sweet.

Niels Giffey and Kevin Ollie help as people get some holiday groceries in Hartford. (Dom Amore)
— The Huskies arrived early, and with the line already far out the door, Kevin Ollie and company began handing out the groceries.
"These are life lessons," Ollie said as his players worked the room at Pope Park Recreation Center Tuesday, distributing holiday dinners to area families in need. "I'm always saying, 'don't judge me just by X's and O's, by wins and losses, judge me by how players leave the University of Connecticut as better men, more apt to serve and to give back in their communities."
The holiday food drive, begun by former coach Jim Calhoun in 1999, would distribute 1,000 dinners, turkeys and fixings. Ollie was at Pope Park with one group of players and staff, and Calhoun was at St. Monica's Church with another.
"You see the smiles on people's faces," said R.J. Evans, a newcomer to UConn participating for the first time. "You realize how much impact you can have, just playing a game you love. It makes you appreciate having the opportunity to do something like this. We had the day off today with no practice, and we were all looking forward to coming out here."
At Pope Park, players were positioned at a table near the entrance, signing posters and posing for pictures. Others were assembling the groceries into 500 bags for distribution.
"When I see someone crack a smile, that's what makes my day," Ollie said. "You never know what's going on in their lives. We're blessed to be a blessing to others."
The bond between the Huskies and their community matters right now, with the state grieving over the tragedy in Newtown. Details for a trip to Newtown after Christmas are being worked out.
"I'm a coach," Ollie said, "but I'm a teacher first. These are teaching points, ways to teach that it's not all about basketball, it's not all about themselves."
Calhoun and Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra joined volunteers from ShopRite, the Hartford law firm of RisCassi and Davis, Omar Coffee, the City of Hartford Department of Families, Children, Youth & Recreation and the City of Hartford Department of Health & Human Services to provide the meals. Over 15 years, more than $1.7 million has been raised.
"Tough economic times have made life difficult for too many families across Connecticut," Calhoun said. "And I want to thank all the generous [sponsors] for helping the Calhoun family make the holidays a little better for those less fortunate."
As Ollie moves through his first season as Calhoun's successor, this was one of annual events that remains on the calendar. The Huskies are 8-2, and three months in, Ollie still seems to be enjoying the new career challenge.
"I am," he said. "I love what we have, what our team is made of. As competitive as I am, being so close to the court again, sometimes they have to hold me back. "
Many of the off-court details, such as budgeting, are new to Ollie. Evans, a transfer from Holy Cross who, at 22, is the oldest Husky, said Ollie has adapted seamlessly.
"I'm sure there's a learning curve in his first year," Evans said, "but he can coach, he knows his stuff. People don't always see that when all they see is on the court. He knows our opponents inside and out, and he has put in a really good system for us, and he had to put it in on the fly. We have an unorthodox team, with three guards, and even DeAndre [Daniels] is really a guard. But [Ollie] found a system that can work for us, that's what has really impressed me."
Ollie, whose contract expires on April 4, said there have been no talks yet with athletic director Warde Manuel about an extension. Manuel, who is in Indianapolis for NCAA meetings, is obviously busy with conference realignment concerns.
"When he sees fit to call me in and talk about that, I'll be ready," Ollie said. "Until then, I have a job to do, to continue to get my team ready to play UConn basketball."
How the players come through fall semester, which ended with final exams last week, could be a key checkpoint. The results are still pending, "but I see a lot of smiles on the players faces," Ollie said.
On the court, the Huskies defeated Maryland Eastern Shore 84-50 Monday at the XL Center, with guards Omar Calhoun (22), Ryan Boatright (21) and Shabazz Napier (11) accounting for 63 percent of the points. Fordham is next on Friday, the last mid-major on the schedule. After Washington on Dec. 29, it will be all Big East opponents. Then the Huskies' formula of winning despite being out-rebounded will be put to a tougher test. UConn has been out-rebounded in nine of 10 games, including 30 to 26 Monday.
"We have our faults like every team does," Ollie said. "There are no perfect teams out there."

September 15, 2011 - The department of student leadership and programming launches its monthly "Leadership Lunch" series on Sept. 29 with Dr. Andy Westmoreland, president of Samford University.
Hosted in the Howard Room, students will have the opportunity to engage various university and community leaders on topics related to leadership. The featured speakers for October and November are Kristina Scott, executive director of Alabama Possible, and Dr. John Knapp of the Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership.
Janna Pennington, director for student leadership and programming, oversees this new endeavor. Pennington saw a need to expand student leadership programming and used the summer to develop a program that would allow students to engage one another and the featured speaker.
"The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for students to learn about leadership and grow as leaders no matter what part of campus they're involved in, or if they're not involved anywhere yet maybe participating in a leadership lunch would inspire them," Pennington said.
Pennington said she wants the series to focus on "big picture" issues related to leadership; issues that would provoke conversation among students even after the lunch hour.
Pennington said the first leadership lunch will cover Dr. Westmoreland's viewpoints on leadership, the second will focus on the service aspect of leadership and the third and final leadership lunch of the semester will center on ethical leadership.
Junior accounting major Nick Boardman plans to attend the first leadership lunch with Westmoreland and hopes to gain some insightful lessons.
"I hope to learn how to lead an organization or peers more effectively, as well as practical tips on being a Christ-like leader," Boardman said. "Being able to pull from the knowledge of someone who has literally lead thousands and thousands of people is invaluable."
The Leadership Lunch series is open to all Samford students and registration is now open for the Sept. 29 lunch with Dr. Westmoreland via OrgSync.
Lunch will be provided for participants. For more information or to offer suggestions on future topics, email Janna Pennington at email@example.com.
September 1, 2011 - The Mann Center recently organized a six-week service practicum in South Africa, where students from Samford's Brock School of Business worked at a micro-enterprise center that creates economic opportunities in townships where much of the country's poverty is concentrated. The project was conducted in collaboration with Living Way, a non-profit organization that empowers the poor with "meaningful opportunities to earn a decent living" through job training and small business development.
The student team conducted research and worked on site at the center near Cape Town to develop strategies and methods for better training outcomes. Team leader Kley Sippel called the project "a capstone experience for my business education," explaining that it "expanded my network internationally, increased my cultural literacy, and provided an opportunity for undergraduate research – all fulfilling goals of mine since freshman year and better equipping me for graduation." The Mann Center continues to partner with Stellenbosch University in South Africa in a new program to develop student leaders as agents of positive change. Cadres of students at Samford and Stellenbosch are studying together via live videoconferences and networking on a Facebook group. In January 2012 Dr. John Knapp will take a class of Samford students to Stellenbosh for three weeks of study about the social and economic challenges facing contemporary South Africa.
September 1, 2011 - Mann Center Director John Knapp was with a small group of educators who visited North Korea's Pyongyang University of Science and Technology in July. During a five-day itinerary, he spoke to the university's leaders and graduate students about the role of higher education in developing ethical leaders. In a lecture entitled, 'The University as a Community of Moral Formation,' he focused on such leadership qualities as commitment to the common good of all citizens and openness to collaboration with others in global society.
The mission was organized by the Consortium for Global Education to explore opportunities for interaction with this new institution in North Korea, especially in support of humanitarian efforts. While traveling in Asia, Dr. Knapp also visited Beijing, where he met with an official at the U.S. embassy to discuss opportunities for university partnerships in China.
September 1, 2011 - Findings of the Samford Survey on Academic Integrity, conducted last spring, are now being used to evaluate the university's effectiveness in promoting ethical standards for academic work. The university-wide survey of students and faculty examined practices, experiences and perceptions regarding multiple types of cheating. Conducted in collaboration with the International Center for Academic Integrity, the survey has been used by nearly 200 colleges and universities in the United States, making it possible to analyze Samford's findings in comparison to others. During the fall semester, the Mann Center will use the findings to assist other academic units in strengthening academic integrity.
In addition to its role on the Samford University campus, the Mann Center offers a range of year-round programs and services for external organizations and the general public. Some examples from this summer include:
The Mann Medal in Ethics and Leadership - Awarded to Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, at a community luncheon in July. Intended to recognize contributions to a better society, the medal recognized Colson's three decades of international work on behalf of prisoners and their families, including advocacy for penal reform. Nominations are now being accepted for the 2012 medalist.
Ethics Education for Financial Advisors - Dr. John Knapp is leading seven national seminars this year for professionals in the Investment Management Consultants Association, provider of the CIMA designation.
Alabama Association of Nonprofits - Dr. John Knapp led a seminar on ethics and public trust for non-profit executives. It was simulcast to three meeting sites across the state.
