Dejected, downcast and angry, conservatives have begun attacking the media and other Christians for not signing on to the anti-Obama campaign, maintaining that Obama's re-election proves that America is experiencing moral breakdown. Family Research Council head Tony Perkins told talk show host Janet Mefferd that the election results reveal "symptoms of a deeper moral and spiritual problem that we're facing in our nation," and beseeched Christians not to just "go on the mountaintop and just wait for the Rapture."

Televangelist James Robison writes on his blog that America needs to begin fighting gay rights with the same passion and resolve as those aiding the recovery of people impacted by Hurricane Sandy. He claims that shows like "The New Normal" and "Modern Family," which prominently feature gay couples, are attempts to "redefine basic morality or totally ignore it" and have "literally destroyed the essence of family and the foundation necessary to sustain everything of value." "This programming promotes that which destroys real relationships,... MORE >

James Robison dedicated two days of his "Life Today" program this week to beseeching his audience to stand up for "faith, family, and freedom," especially heading into this election, because America is "going to have to choose between the forces of light and darkness, good and evil." At a time when "the collapse of commitment and relationships in marriage, the deterioration of the American family, [and] the literal mockery of God" are everywhere, Robison warned, Christians must take a stand and decide that either God is going to be placed at the head of...

Televangelist James Robison warns in a blog post today that "the belief system controlling the most powerful leader and far too many leaders in America is built on lies," which have emanated from Satan himself. Robison asserts that Obama and his supporters are trying to usher in a "dictatorially powerful state" and have fallen under a "deadly deception." He maintains that their belief system derives from "Karl Marx, another demonically deceived individual," who advocated "a lie birthed in the pit of hell." The election will determine... MORE >

Today a video appeared on Bishop Harry Jackson's "Grow With Hope" YouTube page featuring a message recorded by James Robison, presumably for this upcoming Defense of Marriage Summit. In it, Robison makes the case for keeping the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman by saying that remaining silent on this issue "would be like stepping back when suddenly the public has decided to allow pedophiles to play in the public parks and there was nothing we could do about it because we refused to take a stand":

Pseudo-historian David Barton has been receiving significant criticism from conservative and evangelical historians who are aghast at his numerous and deliberate misrepresentations of American history, and yet Barton continues to claim that the only people who find trouble with his work are members of the liberal, secular, anti-American elite who just don't like him exposing the "truth" about the founders. Barton said that he is like Jesus and chooses to ignore his critics, even though he usually attacks or sues them.
But as Barton's star continues to rise in right-... MORE >

Overall, the 288 companies in the study paid a mere 19.4 percent of their profits in corporate income taxes—far below the 35 percent rate on the books that Republican politicians use to incessantly complain that U.S. corporations are overtaxed.
The unwillingness of companies to fork over their fair share has consequences for all of us—especially in these hard times of fiscal cliffs and sequestrations. The 288 profitable corporations studied by Citizens for Tax Justice enjoyed tax subsidies to the tune of a whopping $362 billion from 2008 to 2012. This is $362 billion that could have been instead spent on education, health care, and social services for the betterment of all of us.
And with all this tax-dodging, the burden of running the federal treasury has shifted to you and me.
"Corporate taxes paid for more than a quarter of federal outlays in the 1950s and a fifth in the 1960s," says the report. "In fiscal 2012, corporate taxes paid for a mere 7 percent of the federal government's expenses."
One of the more interesting revelations in the report is how corporations are masters at using arcane breaks to avoid paying any taxes at all. Take the deduction that companies get on stock options, in which they're able to subtract from their taxes the difference between the amount employees pay for a company's shares and the face value. Facebook used this one deduction to avoid paying any federal income tax at all in 2012 on a billion dollars of profit.

It is not an inaccurate or extreme statement to declare that ideological Republicans do not understand what it means to be human. They view human beings as economic units to be plugged at their lowest possible price into a maximally efficient market that provides the greatest possible returns on investment to the wealthy few, with any resulting human resentment and misery dulled by humility before a pleasure-fearing angry God promising rewards to the obedient in the hereafter. It is a dark, meager, shriveled and cramped vision of humanity.
To accept their worldview is to reject the essence of human identity and purpose. If human beings could create a sustainable world of plenty free from violence, war, hunger or want, a world in which human beings were free to devote 24 hours a day to the leisurely pursuit of whatever activities they wished so long as they harmed no one else, conservatives would be terrified.
It's not so much that conservatives don't believe such a world of boundless human potential is possible. It's that they don't want it to be possible.

In 1969 the median salary for a male worker was $35,567 (in 2012 dollars). Today it is $33,904. So for 44 years, while wages for the top 10 percent have continued to climb, most Americans have been caught in a "Great Stagnation," bringing into question the whole purpose of the American capitalist economy. The notion that what benefited the establishment would benefit everyone, had been thoroughly discredited.
this is so fucking real

In 31 states, rapists are allowed to sue victims they've impregnated for custody rights.
There's a case in Boston, MA right now in which a rapist is taking advantage of this. He pleaded guilty of rape in 2011 and was sentenced to 16 years probation; however, this sentence includes 16 years of family court as well, which the victim must also attend. He's using this to sue for joint custody of her child and will only withdraw his law suit if he is free from paying any form of child support. This entire sentence seems like much more of a punishment for the victim than it is for the rapist, and for the state to allow such a thing, the victim is suing.
As stated in the court complaint, "Even if the family court ruled in the [victim]'s favor on issues currently in dispute, such as whether the criminal defendant should be granted visitation rights to [her] child, [she] will suffer harm from the constant threat of new issues arising in family court until her child reaches adulthood, including, for example, efforts by the criminal defendant to seek to modify child support orders and enforce his parental rights at the trial court level and on appeal."
If this woman is forced to attend 16 years of family court with her rapist, she is not only forced to confront a traumatic event that she should never have to deal with again, but she is subjected to the possibility of losing pieces of her child to him over and over again for all of those years. In addition to this constant state of fear and anguish she would face, just by being sent to something considered 'family' court—for her and her rapist—she's being disrespected and her rape undermined by even the suggestion that this is a family situation. By doing this, the law is making felony into family.
In 31 states, rapists are actually given rights instead of having much of anything taken away. In being given these rights, they are being given the chance to further torment the woman and possibly abuse the child. It is not okay to reward rapists and further punish victims, and the ignorance of rape and how our justice system is handling it needs to turn around.
Please sign this petition to ban rapists from being able to sue for custody rights. This issue is so little known, yet so important, and I don't know any better way of trying to make this change.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/ban-rapists-being-able-sue-their-impregnated-victims-custody-rights/C23pKYgMHOW ARE THERE LESS THAN A HUNDRED SIGNATURES!?!!
Come on, people!

Hey fellow Americans-welcome to another day of "SENSELESS JUSTICE SYSTEM"
Today we get to sign a petition regulating common sense! And valuing the sanctity of not giving rights to people who don't deserve them! Whoa new concept! But putting all that aside- I'm so livid right now I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Coming from someone who is crying thinking back on all the shit I went through dealing with a rapist who did circle back to torment me between the ages of 21-22 at my job, I can tell you folks; it's not a position of power you feel. It's absolutely terrifying. Seeing that person's face again, hearing their voice, you're just scared beyond reason and you can barely talk. Much less defend yourself. It's something I wish I had gone without, and something I haven't even really spoken about because it's so harsh to think it even happened to me. I have trouble believing it myself.
Things I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Please don't just reblog this, I know it's kind of annoying to create an account and sign in, but there are people out there who need you.
Don't just read this and forget, do something.

Diane Ravitch on The Daily Show.
Ravitch is the queen. If only the government would listen…
We would also address poverty directly. We would increase the minimum wage and make post-secondary education cheap or free, and we'd improve improve unemployment benefits and offer free job-training to the unemployed.
Poverty is one of the few social ills where throwing money at the problem really does seem to work.
These are not radical, liberal ideas. In fact, in Europe most of them are associated with the more conservative parties, and many of them were associated with the American Republican party in the 80s. But the United States's political climate is so different from anywhere else in the industrialized world that I fear we will just continue to get farther behind in education (and in % of people living in poverty) until we decide to make some big domestic investments.

Rich pupils get the best university places
Just 0.1 per cent of students on free school meals win places at Oxbridge, according to DfE figures
Tuesday 23 July 2013
Richer pupils are twice as likely to go to one of the UK's top universities than those from the poorest homes, according to new figures.
Teenagers who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) - a key measure of poverty - are also still slightly less likely to go to any university, or to go on to work or training, the data shows.
It also reveals that white 18-year-olds are less likely to continue studying, or go on to employment or training than those from other ethnic groups.
The statistics, published by the Department for Education (DfE) give new information on the background of pupils and what they went on to do after finishing their GCSEs or A-levels.
The results show that poorer teenagers are less likely to continue their studies, whether they leave school at 16 or 18.
Around 46 per cent of FSM students went on to higher education at the age of 18 in 2010/11, compared to 48 per cent% of their non-FSM peers.
Just 4 per cent of those eligible for free dinners went to a Russell Group university - considered among the top in the country - making them half as likely to go as their richer classmates (9 per cent went in 2010/11).
And 0.1 per cent of FSM pupils went to Oxford or Cambridge, compared to one per cent of those not on FSM.
Among 16-year-olds, more than four fifths (82 per cent) of those claiming free dinners went on to education, employment or training, compared to nine in 10 (90 per cent) of other pupils.
Poorer pupils were most likely to go to a further education college, the statistics show, while richer students were most likely to attend a school sixth form.
A breakdown by ethnic background shows that Asian students were the most likely to go on to education, employment or training after completing their A-levels.
In total, 80 per cent of Asian students went on to further study or work in 2010/11, compared to 79 per cent of students from 'other' ethnic groups, 78 per cent of black students, 72 per cent of those from mixed backgrounds and 69% of white students.
Around two thirds of Asian students (66 per cent) and students of 'other' ethnic groups (65 per cent) went on to university, compared to 61 per cent of black students, 52 per cent of those from mixed backgrounds, and 46 per cent of white students.
A government analysis of the data suggests a disparity between local authorities in the numbers of poorer children going to leading universities.
In Trafford, Manchester, Kirklees and Stockport at least 10 per cent of FSM pupils were admitted to one of 24 Russell Group institutions.
But in 16 other areas, not a single pupil went to one of these universities, the DfE said.
These local authorities are Merton, Sandwell, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, East Riding of Yorkshire, North East Lincolnshire, Milton Keynes, East Sussex, Portsmouth, Southampton, Bracknell Forest, West Berkshire, Reading, Halton, Isle of Wight and Northumberland.
The figures also show that nationally, the same proportions of pupils on free school meals go on to do an apprenticeship at age 16 and 18 as those not on FSM.
A DfE spokesman said: "These statistics underline, yet again, the gap between the achievement of children from poorer backgrounds, and their better off peers. Too often the poorest children are left with no choice but the worst schools while the rich can send their children to private school or move house into the catchment area of a good school."
He said the Government was setting up free schools to give parents more choice, turn round failing schools and raise teaching standards.

Arsenic is used in semiconductors and some specialized alloys; its toxic compounds are widely used in wood preservation
Más ejemplos en oraciones- In animals and plants, arsenic combines with carbon and hydrogen to form organic arsenic.

Hi Jessica
Thank you dearly for your reply. I should have been more specific. I am from Mashpee, so it is equal distance to either bridge. I mentioned the bridge to indicate which side of the cape I was from. Falmouth, sandwich, hyannis, centerville, marstons mills, and surrounding towns are closest to me. We actually do not have a vehicle so location is important. The public transportation here is limited to the borders of cape cod and does not exceed.
Are you familiar...

New Berkeley Police Department Website To Debut Friday, Chief Says
Website will include a weekly 'police blotter' section with crime news and arrests, the chief said
Residents will be able to access police blotter information, crime tips and submit traffic complaints on the Berkeley Township Police Department's new website.
"Residents are encouraged to visit www.berkeleypolice.org and see what the site has to offer," DiMichele said yesterday.
The website was designed by the same person who set up the Lacey Township Police Department's website, the chief said.
The design was paid for with trust account proceeds from search, seizure and illegal activities. The project was approved by Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato, DiMichele said Thursday.
The police blotter section of the website will be updated weekly, she said.
"This product, available on the website, will highlight events such as arrests, major incidents and crimes that have occurred," DiMichele said. "The purpose of this blotter is to make our residents more informed and aware of events occurring in the township."
Crime tips and traffic complaints can also be submitted online. Residents can also access firearms applications and information packages, the chief said.
The website also has a number of useful links from local, county state, federal and charitable groups.
Sections of the new website are still under construction and information will be added on a daily basis, DiMichele said.
"We encourage feedback and suggestions that will help make the site a more useful and helpful resource for our residents to use," she said.
Subscribers to the department's Facebook and Nixle sites will still receive updates and alerts. The new website is an addition to the existing notification system, DiMichele said.
"Code Red reverse 9-1-1 is also being implemented and a link to registration is also available," she said.

When Asia Was the World: Traveling Merchants, Scholars, Warriors, and Monks Who Created the "Riches of the "East"While European intellectual, cultural, and commercial life stagnated during the early medieval period, Asia flourished as the wellspring of science, philosophy, and religion. Linked together by a web of religious, commercial, and intellectual connections, the different regions of Asia's vast civilization, from Arabia to China, hummed with commerce, international diplomacy, and the brisk exchange of ideas. Stewart Gordon has fashioned a look at Asia from A.D. 700 to 1500, a time when Asia was the world, by describing the personal journeys of Asia's many travelers--the merchants who traded spices along the Silk Road, the apothecaries who exchanged medicine and knowledge from China to the Middle East, and the philosophers and holy men who crossed continents to explore and exchange ideas, books, science, and culture.--From publisher description. |

Poured from a 12Oz can into a tulip glass.
Pours a really nice bright orange color with slight hop haze and a mass ice off white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is really sweet and hoppy with nice piney aromas and a good amount of caramel like malt coming through. Has a nice tropical fruitiness to it also. Really sweet finish but has some nice bitter hops to balance out. Not as bitter as most ipas but really good. The mouthfeel is decent as it's under carbonated but has a silky texture I don't find in many ipas. The drinkability's high also because it's really smooth and tasty. Has a great complexity that makes each sip interesting.

Pours a cloudy, maize color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of hops, sweet malt, earthy malt, slight fruit, and a hint of pine. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong hops, slight pine, slight hop oil, earthy malt, and slight fruit. Overall, good appearance and body, but too much earthy malt for my taste.

Maui Big Swell IPA has a nice appearance. It pours to an orange/tan colored hue and a moderate pour is all that is necessary to create a fluffy head of white foam. The beer has an interesting nose that showcases scents such as citrus, floral, and a touch of pine.
Moving to the taste, this beer has a lot going on. Pine and bread greet the taste buds first, followed by herbs, citrus, and earthiness. The beer finishes a little bit harsh, but still with a good bread/biscuit aftertaste.
I love IPA and I don't mind the occasional brew that calls itself IPA but deviates somewhat from the norm. This beer seems to be doing just that. It isn't all about the citrus, like so many other American IPA. It is much more to share, and its less bitter profile could make it a hit with those who are otherwise non- IPA fans.
However, this beer in many ways seems to have a little too much going on. It may offer a good deal of complexity, but it goes a little further than an IPA really should. It is also a little harsh in the finish, and that could be enough to turn IPA fans against it.
This beer isn't the all- out hoppy brew that the manufacturer claims, and that could prove both good and bad depending on who you ask. Let's just say that it's an okay beer but not one of the greatest I have tried and in some ways a little too eccentric for its own good. It's fine to try, but there are much better American IPA available.

Starting to seriously plan for Australia trip, with an emphasis on snorkeling GBR and\or elsewhere. We can go any time of year beginning September 2013.
What theoretically is the best time to go solely based on weather reasons? (Cyclone season has ne spooked a little, should we worry?)
Would like to escape frigid Canadian winter but really hot and humid is not always fun either. Lots of heavy rain not much fun too.
Probably want to be away 4-6 weeks. Lots of decisions about itinerary to be made but might as well start with the weather issues and time of year to go.
As always, any input is greatly appreciated. Sorry if question is a bit general but that is where we are at (and scouring tripadvisor forums)

Johannesburg - Customers who paid cash for their 1time air tickets might not get refunded, according to a report on Monday.
The Star quoted 1time spokesperson Refilwe Masemola as saying the airline's hands were tied as far as cash-paying customers were concerned.
"If you've bought a ticket via credit card, you can call the bank and they have a chargeback. Not sure how long it will take," Masemola said.
"The cash people... I can't give you a comment on that, I'll have to find out from the business practitioner on Monday."
Masemola posted a statement on Facebook advising passengers on how to tackle the chargebacks with various banks, the Star reported.
No details on how cash-paying passengers would get their money back was provided.
ABSA, Nedbank, First National Bank and Standard Bank had announced it would reimburse passengers who paid with their cards.
Scores of passengers were left stranded when the low-cost airline announced on Friday that it had applied for liquidation and stopped all operations.
It had about R320m in short-term debt and had been in negotiations with creditors since March.

Gun Porn
Smith and Wesson Lemon Squeezers. Everyone should have at least one.
The term "lemon squeezer" was originally a small pistol held in the palm of the hand, with the barel protruding between the middle and ring fingers. Squeezing the gun in the palm pushed in the firing lever on the back side of the pistol to fire the gun. It was a revolver, but instead of a cylinder, the cartridges were held in a flat disc, similar in arrangement to the Lewis gun, arrayed radially.
When Smith & Wesson introduced their hammerless top-break, it was dubbed a "lemon squeezer" as it had a grip safety. Then when the S&W Centennial was introduced, it too, had a grip safety and has been dubbed "lemon squeezer."

AmbitionMy profile page states that I'm not a professional artist. I put it up there, nice and bold, so there would never be a mistake about that.Yet, seeing the messages I receive, I think many people get me wrong on that one. I don't state this whole not-being-a-professional-thing because I think my art sucks and I somehow desperately want people to reinforce me. No, I state this because I'm not a professional in the sense that art isn't my job. I'm not doing art for money, and that's the simple reason why. I never took art commissions and I've never even really tried to do so. Because I do art for the enjoyment alone.Nice statement, you'd say. But you know what the strange thing is? People try to guilt talk me a lot. Tell me that I'm low on ambition, that I would be able to make it if I really wanted, or even that I'm wasting my talent by just making art for my own enjoyment. Because "If you're good at something, you shou

But what you may not know is that only some the people voting had actually SEEN the movie, or for that matter, ANY of the animated films listed in the Best Animated Picture category.The Hollywood Reporter was able to get a few quotes from academy members who were voting for various categories (specifically best animated) and here are some of the results:1. I have seen none of them. I have no interest whatsoever. That ended when I was 6. My son dragged me to a few when he was 6; I would seat him and go outside and make phone calls. My pick: I abstain.2. I thought Frozen was amazing, and my personal favorite was Despicable Me 2, but I didn't see all of the nominees, so I didn't vote. My Pick: I abstained.3. I don't see much of a co

Three Lo-Res New Posters for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Show Spidey Fighting Rhino and Electro
Posted on Friday, November 29th, 2013 by Germain Lussier
Walking around Las Vegas, a Twitter user spotted what appear to be three new posters for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Together, they form one huge image of Spidey fighting Electro and Rhino, and there even seems to be a Goblin in there too. Are these legitimate? They certainly look like it, and if they're not, someone hire this Photoshop artist asap. Check out the tweets below.
Thanks to Superhero Hype for posting these tweets. It seems pretty likely these posters will be officially released next week ahead of the first trailer on December 5.

That's our first look at the new Rhino costume which is pretty bulky. And which Osborn is that as the Green Goblin, if that is even the Green Goblin?
When Sony releases the hi-res images of these posters, we'll be sure to update.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens on May 2, 2014, with Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field, Chris Cooper, B.J. Novak and Sarah Gadon.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

Pastel on board
This was a classic painting and I remember it was called Bubbles…I did this in pastel when I was painting with a group of artist that inspired me to do this kind of work . This is my interpretation of the classic painting a few differences.
..Bubbles, originally entitled "A Child's World" was a painting by Sir John Everett Millais first exhibited in 1886 and became famous when it was used over many generations in advertisements for Pears soap. During Millais's lifetime it led to widespread debate the relationship between art and advertising.
The Painting was one of many child pictures for which Millais had become well known in his later years. It was modelled by his five year old grandson William MIlbourne James and was based on 17th century Dutch precursors in the tradition of vanitas imagery, which commented upon the transience of life. These sometimes depicted young boys blowing bubbles, typically set against skulls and other gloomy background.
The painting portrays a young golden-haired boy looking up at a bubble, symbolising the beauty and fragility of life, On one side of him is a young plant growing in a pot, and on the other side a fallen broken,pot, emblemaic of death. He is spot-lit against a gloomy background.
The advertisment for Pears soap became so well known that William Milboune James, who later rose to the rank of Admiral in the British Navy, was known as "Bubbles" for the rest of his life.
Since A&F Pears was acquired by Lever Brother, the painting has been in their ownership. It was lent to the Royal Academy, but was tranferred to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight in 2006.
I am a self taught portrait artist and photographer from Canada. I joined RB 2009. Most of my work is done in watercolor pencil, graphite, and pastel.
I have also done
photography in black and white.

I've installed the Facebook Comments Box on my site (http://o-star.me). Now, when on the site with my iPad (on Safari), whenever there is a long comments thread that requires a click on "View More Comments" to read them, a click on the "View More Comments" sort of screws the comments box up.
A click will do the following: 1. Flips the display of comments box from left-to-right to right-to-left. 2. Once this happens, I am no longer able to "reply" or "Like" a comment as a tap on the little blue "plus icon" that appears regularly on the right (and when flips, it's on left) does not open properly anymore.
Most importantly, this happens only on some iPads, not everyone. Some do this, some don't, with no apparent differences between those who have this bug and those who don't. Frustrating!
Hope someone can help as we do not know how to move forward to solve this issue.
Thank you in advance,

The Oslo Massacre and Violent Video Games: the Facts
Soulskill (UID: 1459) posted more than 2 years ago | from the broken-record dept.
343An anonymous reader writes "Media hysteria is once again blaming a real life massacre on violent video games. But looking at every single gaming reference in the Oslo killer's manifesto shows that such accusations are ridiculous. He played games to unwind from plotting and used them to mask his activities."
