Town Square
So Here Comes National Healthcare this Week!
Original post made by Jim on Apr 25, 2009
They are now poised to RAM this thru by by this coming Wednesday (via a process no ordinary citizen understands called "reconciliation"). You see, Wednesday is when Obama's 1st 100 days are over and the Dems want to make sure that implementing Nationalized Healthcare is one of O's checklist items.
Let's see...now where again has Nationalized Healthcare ever worked? Hmmm...well...nowhere. Ooops...I spoke too soon. According to the "highly respected and effective organization" called the UN, there are numerous examples where national health systems are effective (see url linked below):
Wow...let's benchmark our system to these above, since we know that it does not work in Canada, England, France, Sweden, Norway, nor anywhere else it has been attempted...including a few US States like Tennessee and Massachusetts and perhaps others.
Feel better that the Democrats are in control of so many aspects of our lives...since we as "individuals" are fully incapable?!
Here is the UN link below.

Oh, that's supposed to be the "UN" link. Do you have a link to the supposed impending legislation?

Well, here we are. It's Wednesday and the only "health" news is about Swine Flu. Guess the sky ain't really falling after all. Eh, Chicken Little?

Is there a way to write SQL Server Stored Procedure which to be strongly typed ( i.e. returning known result set of columns ) and having its group statement to be dynamic.
Something like:
SELECT SUM( Column0 ) FROM Table1
GROUP BY @MyVar
I tried the following also:
SELECT SUM( Column0 ) FROM Table1
GROUP BY CASE @MyVar WHEN 'Column1' THEN Column1 ELSE Column2
The second statement works only in scenarios where the db types of Column1 and Column2 are the same. If they are not the SQL engine throws an error saying something similar to: "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'SYSTEM' to data type [The Different TYPE]."
What can I do to achieve strong result set and yet have some dynamic part - i.e. the grouper in my case? This will be exposed to LINQ.
As seems you can do it, but you should NOT! Absolutely overkill. Testing showed figures of thousand times slower execution plans. And it will only get slower with bigger result sets.

San Leon agrees sale with John McKeown
Oisín Fanning's oil and gas company to offload most of its Irish offshore assets
Oisín Fanning, founder of San Leon, said the company does not "have the time or energy" to maximise the potential of Island's Irish exploration licences.
San Leon Energy, the oil and gas company founded by former stockbroker Oisín Fanning, has agreed to offload most of its Irish offshore assets to John McKeon, the veteran exploration investor. San Leon, which is backed by the billionaire currency trader George Soros and the investment company Blackrock, has agreed to sell its Island Oil & Gas subsidiary to Mr McKeon's Ardilaun Energy for $3 million.
The deal does not include the 4.5 per cent net profit interest (NPI) held by San Leon in the Barryroe field, which is operated by Providence Resources.
San Leon paid more than £13 million for Island 3½ years ago in an all-share deal, although it has since sold off many of the company's assets.
Mr Fanning said yesterday that San Leon does not "have the time or energy" to maximise the potential of Island's Irish exploration licences.
"It needs someone with time and energy that we haven't got to devote to it," he said. He added that San Leon intends to focus on its assets in countries such as Morocco and Turkey.
Mr Fanning said San Leon is also exploring a sale of some of its other assets, such as its licence interests in Italy, including three exploration licences off the coast of Sicily; and Germany, where it has a licence in Lower Saxony.
It may also sell its interests in Slovakia. "We are talking to people about [selling] all of those," said Mr Fanning.
West coast exploration
The Island sale includes its exploration licences on the Atlantic margin, in deep water off the west coast. Investors' enthusiasm for exploration off the west coast dampened earlier this year when Exxon Mobil announced that it would be walking away from the Dunquin prospect, where it is in partnership with Providence, after a disappointing set of drilling results.
The sale announced yesterday also includes Island's stake in the Seven Heads gas field off the southern coast. San Leon will be issued 20 per cent of the shares in Ardilaun, which will pay $1 million upfront for Island and a further $2 million in 12 months.
Earlier this week, San Leon announced it is to raise £31 million in a share placing, as well as the purchase of a 75 per cent stake in Turkish company Alpay Enerji, which has significant intersts in the Turkish oil and gas industry.
Production assets
Mr Fanning said its cash-generating production assets were of particular attraction to San Leon, which until now has been heavily focused on exploration.
"By next October, we will be producing a net profit of £2 million a month," said Mr Fanning. "We wanted to put some P [production] into our E&P activities."
Mr McKeon did not respond to a request for comment last night.

9-1's for Kabal? That's harsh. 8-2's? Absolutely. There are characters in this game that simply were not meant to deal with a full-speed Kabal. "It's called 'Sex Panther'...it's illegal in nine countries..."
Wow, i've never had so many likes for a post before, but it gets deleted, and this flame baiting thread is still here? Just wow. m2Dave has taken REO up on his offer. Shouldn't this be a done deal now?
There is never a bad time for senselessly quoting Anchorman. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT" So REO, if you had to say, who would be the select few that should never, in any universe, attempt to face Kabal?
What? how does an 8-2 or 9-1 matchup make the game not fun and competitive anymore? Have you tried Sub-Zero vs Kenshi/Kabal/Kung Lao? Those are horrible matches... yet... I'm still playing. This game is freaking fun man! I'll be playing this until another MK comes out!!!
You'll notice I said if true as opposed to taking their word for it. I do matches such as Jade v.s. Kenshi, which is just as bad for Jade as it is for Sub-Zero according to most Jade players. I also play Sheeva v.s. Kung Lao, which is very bad for her too. I play characters that have no matches in their favor in the entire game, not just a couple matches. You are aware that I'm still playing too right? The point is such a lopsided balance scale is not competitive nor exciting, if this game was more balanced it would inherently be more exciting because people would play more unique characters at tournaments which is more hype and intrigue for the game. I play bottom tier characters, and I'm 100% okay with that, I'm not a fan of radically scewed matches, that is all. I don't think anybody can seriously blame me for not being a fan of the prospect of 8-2 and 9-1 matches. I don't even believe in anything under 7-3, but whatever. Also, I'm picking up several new characters from the "trash" collection to try and do something good with them. I see what others think is trash and try to make it better. I'm a diehard for my characters, but like I said I'm not a fan of radically scewed imbalance, but I will still continue to play my characters.
If lopsided matchups meant everything to how fun a game is, ST and 3S, along with a host of other games would really not be fun and the FGC would've died a long time ago.
It's great that you play low tier characters! There's few things more fun to me in this game than running across a Jade, Sheeva, Stryker, etc in ranked or w/e. Those matches are always exciting b/c I rarely get to play against those fighters whereas... there's about 2103935 kabals out there and it's always the same... Iagb, Iagb. Being a lopsided match isn't going to make you stop playing your characters, so it shouldn't really matter and IMO there are definitely some matches in this game that are worse than 7-3. It only makes the game less exciting when everyone is playing the same character. That's why I'm always rooting for the Jeremiahs, Detriots, and Tom Bradys. I guess my point is... having bad matchups doesn't make the game less than we thought it was.
IDK about Kano at all, but Kabal v Sheeva has to be a 7-3 or worse. I'm inclined to say worse. The match-up plays out very similarly to Zangief v Akuma (3-7) in SF with Gief desperately trying to get in. Sheeva has the punishable tele-stomp, Gief the punishable Banishing Flat. Gief also has a projectile immunity special which Sheeva lacks and his throws are unblockable with insane priority meaning once he gets in, he can really bring some hurt. Sheeva just doesnt do enough damage in general, imo. Add to that the fact that the block infinite is easier to perform on her than anyone else (giant hitbox). Of course that's all on paper. Looks A LOT like an 8-2.
My comments that didn't derail the thread got deleted too for some reason. It doesn't mean everything, but why are you guys missing the point? A more balanced game is more hype and exciting than a game that is highly lopsided and unbalanced. Is this a logical conclusion or not on my part? The game hasn't become unfun or horrible, I haven't argued that and I don't think there are 8-2 or 9-1 matches. You posted earlier in the thread saying this game is finished. That's more of a a nail in the coffin for this game than me saying it's not as fun or exciting anymore if there truly are 8-2 and 9-1 matches (which I'll reiterate that I don't believe there are anyway). Having bad match ups is apart of every fighting game, I have no issues with that at all, that's not the point I was making. It matters to me because for the benefit of this game competitively, it would thrive more with greater balance, this isn't even about me as a player right now. I want this series to move forward in a positive way like all you guys do, so while the game might still be fun, it should still move forward and be immensely balanced for next game. I'm not asking for my characters to be top or even mid tier, all I want is MK10 to be great and very balanced to the point that such lopsided matches aren't in the game. Jerimiah and Tom Brady have my respect for playing their characters in hard matches where it matters and not just when a match is in their favor.
I'll tell what's going on here. REO is either scared of something or trying to scare the rest before EVO. Either you choose to take your main against him, which are all 6-4 or worse, or change now to Kabal and never reach his level till EVO - you are all fucked cause he's the man. Oh yeah, and Jade vs Kabal is still 9-1.
I dont think so. There's really not much else Sheeva could do and GGA Jeremiah had just beaten Cat (another Kabal player) the game before this. But maybe so. I just fail to see how he could have done anything differently.
Keep in mind I have literally zero Sheeva experience and that my Kabal is way better now than it was months ago. Any Sheeva player who wants to challenge my match up score can play me at tournament.
OK. I will proudly collect my $20 in front of all of your friends. Just pray you don't lose to me 10-0. I would feel very uncomfortable thinking the match up may be worse than 9-1.
The problem isn't even the vast advantage of the matchups. The problem is that, unless you have a VSM/EGP/GGA/ATL/WNBA or some means of steady, leveled up offline competition/training regiment, or the most pristine, unfuckwithable online connection in the history of Edenia and training partners with similarly pristine means, you're never gonna learn to deal with shit like this right. There's no AI that can play Kabal like Reo, Jax like Junior/Tyrant, Kenshi like Pig, etc...and even if you did have a flawless setup, the odds of you becoming a top-tier competitor solely by the bones of online are slim to none. For every Curbo, Mr. Mil, Death and so on who managed to succeed, how many others are out there who've failed? That's just my opinion. Idk.
This might not be the matchup, also a player with more skills and knowledge can make the matches look, bad or worse, everytime you see someone getting blown up you only believe is the matchup, believe more in the players players players players
Very, very good point. And you are 100% correct. Looking at it, though. It seems like both were doing what they could, and I dont think anyone would argue that these two are te best there is with thier respective characters. But yeah, player skill obv makes a huge difference. Hell, give CD Baraka and give me Kitana and I'd still get demolished ^_^ lol
My post was a joking remark. I really wasn't serious lol. ST was and still is hype, and there are so many lopsided matches in that game. Balance has very little to do with the fun of a game. Same with Marvel. TTT wasn't balanced, yet it is probably the best Tekken to date. History shows the relevance balance has to a game's longevity.

Photo: Evan Sung Sour cream keeps the cake rich and moist, and the thick layers of cinnamon and cocoa streusel are chock-full of walnuts. Baking this cake in a tube pan helps the thick batter to bake evenly. Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to swirl the streusel deep into the center of the cake. Wrap well and store up to three days. It also freezes excellently.
Makes 1 (9-inch) tube cake IngredientsFor the cake batter:
DirectionsPlace an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 9-inch tube pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, stir the butter, sugar, brown sugar and salt until well combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time until each is incorporated. Whisk in the sour cream and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl, then stir until just combined. Scrape the batter into the pan. Make the topping: Using the same large bowl, combine the brown sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and walnuts. Sprinkle most of the streusel over the batter, then swirl it into the center of the batter. Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top. Bake until golden, just firm, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to cool. Serve just warm or at room temperature.

In the future, hunger, violence and money have disappeared. Lying is unthinkable. And stealing - from the place where one acquires one's every need, a building labeled "Store" - is pointless.
Humanity has been "perfected,"thanks to the aliens. They came, they moved in - not just onto the planet, but into our bodies. And now, the human race is all but extinct, our bodies governed by seemingly benign conquerors.
But Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) is resistant to this body snatching. She debates and wars with the old soul, "Wanderer," who has invaded her most personal space - her mind. Melanie wants to shake free of these alien bonds, to find her younger brother, her boyfriend (Max Irons) and the resistance movement they've run off to join.
That's the world of "The Host," Stephenie Meyer's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" follow-up to "Twilight." On screen, it's just another chaste, action-starved and absurdly talky action romance. And it has to be. Most of the movie is a heated argument that takes place inside poor Melanie's head.
The action beats - chases, hunts, fights and shootouts - are few and far between here. Too many characters (William Hurt is Uncle Jeb, patriarch of the resistance) have to spend too much time on exposition. The leads generate little heat and the look-alike lads try to figure out if it's Melanie or the sympathetic alien who took over her bod that makes her irresistible to the resistance.
The film's slack pace allows us to ponder Meyer's ever-present big themes - body image, guilt, free will, right and wrong as it relates to groupthink.
That makes for a meandering, misshapen film where big ideas stolen from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" fail to ignite because the sparks are smothered in tedium, the romance drowned out by all the arguing going on in that confused girl's head.

HoopsHype Jerryd Bayless rumors
Jerryd Bayless: The CITY of Memphis will always have a special place with me. There are relationships here that I will cherish forever! Time to move on.. JB Twitter
The Celtics reached an agreement that will send Courtney Lee to Memphis in exchange for Grizzlies guard Jerryd Bayless, a league source confirmed to the Globe Sunday. The deal will give the Celtics a young, athletic perimeter player who has torched them in the past while, more importantly, giving the team more financial flexibility, which the organization greatly covets in this new era of rebuilding. A potential trade announcement was expected to come as early as Monday. Boston Globe
Baxter Holmes: Several Celtics said Courtney Lee wished them luck on his way out. They said they'll miss him & they wish him the best. Twitter @BaxterHolmes
The Boston Celtics have reached an agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies to trade for veteran guard Jerryd Bayless, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com that the Celtics, after pursuing him in previous seasons as well, are on the verge of acquiring Bayless for shooting guard Courtney Lee. A trade call with the league office, sources said, has been scheduled for Monday. ESPN.com
Marc Stein: Trade call on Boston's looming acquisition of Jerryd Bayless for Courtney Lee, I'm told, is being scheduled for Monday. Deal is happening Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
The Grizzlies, with nearly $7.5 million left of a trade exception they created in January 2013 by dealing Rudy Gay to Toronto, can use that exception to absorb Lee's contract, which runs for two more seasons at slightly more than $11 million after this season. ESPN.com
Kyle Draper: Source says Courtney Lee will not play for Celtics tonight. Deal with Memphis close to being done. #CelticsTalk Twitter @KyleDraperTV
Marc Stein: In this trade for Jerryd Bayless, Celts get a player they've pursued in previous seasons AND move some $2 million away from luxury-tax line Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Boston Celtics, I'm told, are in advanced discussions on a trade to acquire Jerryd Bayles from Memphis in a deal involving Courtney Lee Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
A. Sherrod Blakely: Source: Courtney Lee trade to #Grizzlies is close to being completed. Twitter @SherrodbCSN
Sam Amick: As @Marc Stein reports, Boston-Memphis discussing Courtney Lee-Jerryd Bayless swap.I'm told other pieces may be involved if it progresses Twitter @sam_amick
The Memphis Grizzlies are clearly looking to shake up their roster. While the Zach Randolph-to-New Orleans rumors were dismissed by a league source, a Lakers source says they were offered a swap of scoring guards, Jerryd Bayless for Jodie Meeks. Bleacher Report
Jeff Zillgitt: As NBPA continues important team visits, Grizzlies name Jerryd Bayless union team rep and Mike Conley the alternate. Twitter @JeffZillgitt
Jerryd Bayless of the Grizzlies said that he would love to play for German National. The mother of the player was born in Berlin but she doesn't have German citizenship. "If Nowitzki plays again for the German National, I would be interested in playing for Germany" said Bayless. "But my mother doesn't have German passport and I've played already with United States Under 19 National Team. I don't even know if I could play for Germany" added Bayless to Sport1. Sportando
The team is led at the top of the rotation by Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Mike Conley, while veteran forward Tony Allen serves as one of the lead dogs in the locker room. But for the team to take the next step, Joerger believes the growth will need to come from the team's younger role players. "For us to grow from within Jerryd Bayless needs to have a nice season for us," Joerger says. "Quincy Pondexter needs to have a nice season for us. Those guys need to make shots from the perimeter and for that to happen they're going to have to be on the floor and be consistent." HoopsWorld
Ken Berger: Jerryd Bayless has exercised his $3.14M player option and will not become a free agent, the Grizzlies announce. Twitter @KBergCBS
Marc Stein: I'm told Grizzlies G Jerryd Bayless, in mild surprise, has elected to invoke $3.1 million player option for next season to stay in Memphis Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Grizzlies' Bayless was widely expected to bypass option in his contract & proceed to unrestricted free agency in July. Opts to stay instead Twitter @ESPNSteinLine

There is a page in the current issue of Style At Home magazine with a general how-to on making tissue paper flowers for giftwrapping use. It reminded me of all the flowers I made to decorate wedding cars years ago, and I got to thinking it might be fun to try with plastic.
These specimens are test-runs, thrown together quickly because I was eager to see how they'd turn out. I discovered you need a lot more layers if you use flimsy ones like the white grocery bags I used. The yellow ones made from bags from The Bay have a much nicer weight to them.(Zellers bags are a nice red!) It's a fun project for kids too.
I'll be using a few of these on gifts beneath the tree this year. Our tree lights don't burn hot, but we always keep gifts a distance from them anyway.

The flowers are great. Were they hard to do? How about those of us with little or no talent? Do you think the instructions might be online?
Thanks Dawn...I saw that article & thought they were really nice...I think I will give it a try....The red would make nice pointsettas:)
I love them! I bet you could sell those puppies on eBay.

You have Apple Retina Display Overload Syndrome a very serious condition. I suggest you make an appointment with a Genius at your nearest Apple store and see if they can fix your eyes I mean they're called Genius for a reason huh

Have you seen an optometrist? Seriously. The screen is bright and sharp. That's why I got this one, over my first generation. To compensate for fading aging eyesight, an astigmatism, and the faint lingering and changing cataract in my right eye. All things that were there before, but never were a problem for me, that I couldn't unconsciously compensate for.
Now that I wear my glasses much more, my eye fatigue from iPad use is far far less.
Have you tried playing games under different light conditions? Ambient vs., room lights on?Originally Posted by MILJAN
Also try holding the iPad at different distances away from you. An inch or two plus or minus could make a difference.
Finally, I play Need For Speed "Most Wanted"
on iPad 2 and must admit I begin to have eye fatigue after 20 - 30 minutes. I'm 56 and wear eye bifocals.

Could it be the refresh rate of the display?
Android devices with the new Jellybean installed update 60 times per second with v-sync enabled (to prevent screen tearing) whereas the iPad looks like it updates slower (30 fps?) without v-sync as I've noticed a kind of 'wobble' effect, similar to screen tearing, on the image when scrolling slowly horizonally or vertically on my iPad 4 and then moving it up and down (or left and right) more quickly. It definitely doesn't scroll as smoothly as it does on my Samsung GS3 with Jellybean v4.1.2 installed and I'd imagine that it could be noticeable for people with sensitive eyes, perhaps even enough to cause eye strain or headaches. Real Racing 2 HD for example seems to have a really low framerate on my iPad 4 (20-30 fps), although it doesn't bother me especially as I'm used to playing console games!
I have you by some 14 years...and I stare at a lot of screens. You might get in the habit of shifting your eyes a lot...keeping a window around to look out at...bu the simple fact is that out of the mix, we each "get what we get" and we have to deal with it. None of the screens bother me, but funny thing is if I play a first-person shooter type game I get ill...quickly, even on a tablet. I have to be in a really cold room to avoid it. I used to buy PC games but I finally quit because I could not deal with this condition. It might have to do with the refresh rates of the various screens...I don't know..but they only time it is an issue is with FPS games. Regular stuff like scrolling and read is not a problem....and I don't "micro-stare", concentrating on tiny details of what's going on on the screen.
I find the retina iPad screen to be a lovely thing to behold...to my eyes, it is overall the best screen on a tablet..the nexus 10 has higher resolution, but there is more light bleed (on mine). Textwise, they are so close together that it is hard to tell the difference. I think the iPad wins on images, though, but this kind of thing is highly subjective, IMO.

I definitely agree. That's why i have iPad 4. The best graphic performance i ever saw on tablet. That is why I was a little bit worried about my vision problems, since so far , doctor said that my vision is okay. Somebody just mentioned here, that other source of ligh might be a problem. I think I got idea, what seems to be the problem.Originally Posted by AQ_OC

Position off ceiling light is in bad position for my eyes and that is the reason for vision problem. When I change my usual position when using iPad I have no problem with eyes. Thanks for your Replies

Kaboul with a few early touches of the ball and then he elects to hit it long towards Soldado.
And we're off. Spurs get us started...
First start for Kaboul in over a year. Big night for him. Here come the teams...
The teams are in the tunnel. Kaboul appears incredibly focused.
Stadium is relatively empty. Capacity is 55,000. Spurs will want the job done before the return leg in London.
All the talk pre-match is about Gareth Bale. But, surely Andre Villas-Boas' side have a squad big enough to challenge on all fronts this year.
Spurs made a winning start on Sunday against Crystal Palace. Will Soldado be the hero again or will it be one of the other new faces?
You can let me know your thoughts on the game via Twitter @FootballMcD and I will try to post as many as I can.
If you fancy a bet on the game why not head over to our friends at Sky Bet for all the markets before and during the action.
Spurs starting XI: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose, Capoue, Paulinho, Townsend, Dembele, Sigurdsson, Soldado.
Dinamo Tbilisi starting XI: Loria, Khurtsilava, Gvelesiani, Kvaratskhelia, Glisic, Grigalashvili, Dzaria, Kvirkvelia, Merebashvilli, Xisco, Dvali.

In A's rest frame, the mirrors are moving, so the light going from the top mirror to the bottom is going "diagonally". The distance between the mirrors is the same in both frames. Light going from the top mirror to the bottom travels a distance d=ct in B's frame, and ct' in A's frame (where t' is the time measured by A). The pythagoran theorem tells us that ##(ct')^2=(ct)^2+(vt')^2##. Solve this for t, and you get
$$t=\frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}=\gamma t'.$$.
Yes I thought about this too. But the result seems strange to me, because it now predicts that time goes slower in the rest frame and not in the moving frame, just because we changed the location of the experiment.
For example if we had done the experiment in frame A instead of B, t and t' would change place in the equation predicting opposite results, as such:
How is this possible?

He said they often must choose between buying groceries and medicine. "Sometimes a sweet man or woman will have to cut their medicine in half to be able to go buy groceries," Adams told a news conference.
The proposed constitutional amendment, sponsored by Rep. John Knight, D-Montgomery, and Sen. Hank Sanders, D-Selma, would also raise the threshold at which a family of four starts paying the state income tax from $12,600 to $20,000. To pay for the tax cuts, the legislation would end the state's income tax deduction for federal taxes paid.
Alabama is one of two states that don't waive all or part of the state sales tax for groceries or give a tax rebate to the poor. It is one of three states that give a 100 percent deduction for federal income taxes paid. The measure passed the House on April 15 but is stymied in the Senate with three days left in the 2008 regular session.
Senate Republicans want to attach it to a bill to shift home property tax reappraisals from an annual basis to once every four years. If the bill gets final passage in the House and Senate, it would be put to voters in a statewide referendum during the Nov. 4 presidential election. Adams and the executive director of the state AARP chapter, Joan Carter, joined Knight and Sanders at the news conference to encourage passage of the bill.
Sanders said he's not sure when he will attempt to bring it up for a vote in the Senate. Knight and Sanders oppose linking the bill to efforts to change the frequency of property tax reappraisals. "That is just an effort to try to kill this bill," Knight said. There have been attempts in the Legislature for years to remove the state sales tax from groceries, but few have gotten as far as this year's effort. "We have an opportunity to do something now that has never happened before," Knight said.
Republicans have said they favor taking the sales tax off groceries, but oppose removing the income tax deduction. Democrats have cited estimates that only the wealthiest 20 percent of Alabama's residents would spend a higher percentage of their income on state and local taxes as a result of the legislation.
But Republicans say the measure would have an adverse effect on more taxpayers. Republican Sen. Larry Dixon said he believes the measure would hurt people in his mostly middle class Montgomery district.
"It's a shift of the burden of taxation to the people who are already paying the most in taxes. The people I represent can't afford it," Dixon said.

Her History in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women
2000 #53 | 1999 #46 | 1998 #49 | 1997 #14 | 1996 #31 | 1995 #19
Drew's career is a template for the child star implosion with a double helping of rehab.
She was married to a Welsh bar owner in 2004, then married to comedian Tom Green, before dating the drummer from the Strokes for five years.
She's also openly spoken about being bisexual. Yes Drew.
Her biggest hits have been E.T, Charlie's Angels and Donnie Darko.
The youngest in a family of actors, she got her first gig (a dog food advert) when she was only eleven months old. But it was E.T., directed by her godfather Steven Spielberg, that led her to fame, as well as two stints in drug and alcohol rehab before becoming a teenager. Later she appeared in Poison Ivy as a seductress, unpopular in cinemas, but popular on video. And she did nude shoots, even flashing to David Letterman on TV for his birthday, before tragedy struck: breast reduction.
But all wasn't lost. Next came success in Scream, and Charlie's Angels. And when Donnie Darko was threatened with being pulled, she commendably stepped forward with financing. Since then she's become a rom-com staple, her saving grace being that she voices Brian's girlfriend Jillian in Family Guy.
And Drew Barrymore is pretty great too

Recipe by pelicangal
"Pickled Brussels sprouts that stay crunchy and are slightly spicy."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
5 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings
5 cloves garlic, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes, divided
5 cups water
5 cups distilled white vinegar
7 tablespoons pickling salt
Just made these today and can't wait to try them! They were very simple to make...I halved the recipe and got 3 half-pint jars out of it (had extra liquid left over, but that was no big deal). Will be back in 3 weeks to update...I'm so excited, lol! :)
What an excellent recipe, I replaced the pepper flakes with fresh minced hot peppers for the garden. Also added ground bell pepper, onion and garlic too. Essentially I ground everything up, put 2 tbs of mixture in bottom of quart jars, filled with sprouts and finally added hot brine.
4 Ratings
This was a good starter recipe. I added dill and pickling spice. I also added a habenaro on some jars for a little kick for Bloody Marys! Thanks for recipe!
It was supper easy! added jalapeno slices and some dill pickling season to the brine.the original ingredient need some more zest.I'll let you know in 3 wk's how they come out!

CNN reports that John Kerry is being nominated alone today by President Obama to avoid being associated with more controversial nominations:
Read more...
House Republican Tom Price of Georgia refused to say whether he would challenge Senator Saxby Chambliss in the 2014 GOP primary. In a Tuesday afternoon appearance on CNN, Price was asked by host Brooke Baldwin if he would "mount a primary challenge" against Chambliss. He at first dodged the question.
"What we're trying to do right now is to solve the remarkable challenges that we have. Any discussion about 2014 is extremely premature," Price said.
CNN reports that practically all Americans went shopping over "Black Friday" weekend.
So CNN is bird-dogging Mitt Romney on his claim that it is "illegal in this country to have automatic weapons."
Arlington, Va.President Barack Obama was the clear and obvious favorite among the crowd here at the Arlington Young Democrats debate watch party at Bailey's Pub. But moderator and CNN personality Candy Crowley was a close second, with her performance eliciting nearly as many loud cheers from this partisan audience as the sitting president of the United States.
The weakest response to Mitt Romney's foreign policy address, which he delivered earlier today at the Virginia Military Institute, comes from Virginia-based trade publication Politico.
The latest national poll to be released today finds Barack Obama barely beating Mitt Romney, 50 percent to 47 percent, respectively. The poll was conducted by CNN/ORC and measures likely voters.
The CNN poll was conducted between September 28 and 30. The sample includes 783 interviews and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
The good news for the Romney campaign is that it shows a positive trajectory for the Republican candidate.
Last week, reports emerged that Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy had condemned gay marriage. It's no secret that the company is run by devout Christians, but this still caused an uproar.
Over at National Review Online, Ramesh Ponnuru highlights a CNN story entitled, "Voters sick and tired of health care debate." Ponnuru notes that the story offers essentially no evidence to support the claim made in its headline. It's also worth noting that the CNN story cherry picks one question from CNN's latest health care poll, in the process painting a false picture of Obamacare's popularity.
Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts refused to tell CNN's Dana Bash that she's a minority, despite the fact that the Democratic Senate candidate was once listed as a Native American at Harvard, where she is a law professor. The Free Beacon has CNN's video:
The early draft of the exit polls this morning showed a 50-50 tie in the Wisconsin recall race. It's still early, but the best bet is that Scott Walker meets or exceeds his margins relative to 2010, which points to a 5-point win or better. This suggests that the early draft of the exit polls were biased toward the Democrats.
Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told CNN this morning that Boston will "reset" its campaign for the general election. Via Greg Sargent:
Mitt Romney will not participate in the Republican presidential primary debate on March 1 in Georgia.
An Insider Advantage poll taken in South Carolina on Wednesday — two days after the most recent Republican presidential debate — shows that Newt Gingrich has erased a double-digit deficit to take the lead over Mitt Romney. Gingrich now has 32 percent support, up 11 percentage points from his tally in the previous Insider Advantage poll, which was taken on Sunday.
CNN reports on its latest South Carolina poll:

BEIRUT: Hezbollah and Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned Sunday the killings of at least 92 people Friday in the Syrian town of Houla which have sparked an international outcry. Syrian opposition activists blamed President Bashar Assad's regime for the killings, whose victims were mostly women and children in Homs' Houla province Friday in one of the most deadly incidents of the uprising.
In a rare statement of condemnation, Hezbollah denounced the killings but did not lay the blame on any group.
The Syrian government Sunday denied that its forces were responsible for the killings, and blamed "terrorists."
"Hezbollah expresses its pain toward the horror of the terrible massacre committed in Houla of Homs, and it strongly condemns this massacre and those responsible for it," Hezbollah said in a statement.
The party, which has stood by the Assad regime throughout the uprising, has called for the implementation of political reform and dialogue in Syria.
"Hezbollah has repeatedly stated its stance on the Syrian crisis, and it affirms that dialogue and peaceful political solution are the only way out of the crisis. The party also reiterates [the need to] adopt dialogue away from foreign intervention, which is the only way to achieve the desired reforms," Hezbollah's statement added.
Mikati, who heads the Hezbollah-backed March 8 Cabinet, denounced the violence in Houla and other Syrian cities, saying that the killing of children constitutes a crime against humanity.
"Killing children is a crime against humanity and it is unacceptable to remain silent because the horrific scenes that resulted from this massacre are a bad stain on all humanity," Mikati said in a statement.
Mikati called for boosting Arab and international efforts to end the crisis and violence in Syria.
The Future Movement also condemned the massacre in a statement Sunday, accusing the Syrian regime of a "terrorist act" that constitutes a crime against humanity.
"The Syrian regime has lost its legitimacy by responding to calls for reform with shelling, the use of tanks and shabbiha on the streets," the statement said.
"This pressures the international community, the Arab world and the Muslim world to move quickly to end the madness of the regime's forces against civilians and children."
For his part, former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, the head of the Future bloc, accused the Assad regime of a massacre and called on the world to put an end to the daily killings of the Syrian people.
"The pictures of the bodies of children, sheikhs and women in this terrifying massacre, which according to international observers the Syrian regime committed against this city with its tanks, can only be tolerated by those who have lost all of their emotions and human conscience," Siniora said.
According to Siniora, the Syrian regime has exploited the presence of the United Nations cease-fire observers to continue its oppression of the Syrian people.
"This regime is continuing to use violence despite its repeated failure ... meaning that the regime has lost its touch with reality and with the simplest humanitarian and moral values," he said.
Following the adoption of a six-point peace plan by United Nations Special Envoy Kofi Annan, dozens of international observers were sent to Syria to monitor a cease-fire between Assad's regime and the rebel Free Syrian Army.
Siniora also said that the Arab world and the international community should do more to end the bloodbath in Syria.
"They should do more than denunciations. What is required is a plan that would put an end to this river of blood."

Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Matte Brown and Maybelline Blush in Plum Shimmer
If I told you that I was on the hunt for these products, then that would be an understatement. I have been looking all over my drugstores for these two products. I've seen swatches online and pictures of the display for months. But only this past week they started to appear in drug stores in my area.
The first item which is basically what I was looking for are the new matte Maybelline Color Tattoos. I love the color tattoos and when I saw that they were making matte ones, I knew I wanted to try it. This on is in Matte Brown, which you guess it is matte brown. The other two colors are a matte pink and another more yellow/skin tone color. I am on the look for those two too, but everyone I see the displays they are totally empty.
I am absolutely in love with this color! It's the perfect base for any matte or shimmery brown shadow I may be applying on top. Or, if I'm just creating a natural look and I would put some of this in my crease. I really have nothing but positive things to say about this because the Maybelline tattoos are always a fantastic product and never fail.
This next product is a newer blush to the Maybelline line. I have been loving plum colored blushes this fall and I thought this would be a beautiful color. First, I have to say it's very pigmented and smooth when swatching it. But as I'm sure you can see from the sheen that it's very shimmery. I'm not sure if this is just the top layer but for some people the glitter might be too much. For me, it wasn't terribly glittery. I used it on my cheeks and there was shimmer, but I thought it just added a nice sheen to my cheeks and dueled as a highlighter.
Overall, for many people the glitter might be took much. But I am very impressed with how beautiful the color is and how smooth it is and the way it applies to my cheeks.
Makeup For a Night Out
Whenever I go out at night, whether to a party, movie, event ect. I like to do my makeup extra nice. Above is makeup that beautiful and love lasting, perfect for a night out!

In 1999, both of Bob Baffert's horses entered the race with 9-2 lines, but Excellent Meeting (left) finished fifth while General Challenge (right) took 11th. The winner? Charismatic. With 30-1 odds, Charismatic (inset) moved up from the middle of the back to take the lead for good.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
As flat-panel TVs continue to drop in price and rise in household penetration, the need for mounting solutions for the displays is clearly growing by leaps and bounds. To meet that demand, mount manufacturers are stepping up to the plate with a host of new introductions for early 2008, and the emphasis is on ease of installation, flexibility and functionality — not to mention appearance, including new improvements in cable management.
Vantage Point, for example, will be spotlighting its visually wireless Evo system at International CES. The Evo system's modular design consists of a lightweight frame and track system that expands to support unlimited equipment configurations, according to the company. The frame is hung on independently mounted rails and extends 4 inches from the wall, creating a hollow space for power and wiring distribution.
The system features 16-inch by 16-inch removable real wood veneer panels, available in maple, cherry, walnut, black ash and espresso. The panels are designed not only to allow easy access to wiring and power connections, but also to create a furniture-quality appearance. Also available are accessories including tempered glass shelves, flat-panel mounts and speaker mounts to support components and TVs. The frames and shelf brackets are available in black, silver or graphite.
The Evo system installs to wood or metal studs, concrete or masonry, and its design enables installation by professional installers or consumers without requiring an electrician. Equipment changes and/or upgrades can be accommodated by simply rearranging shelves and mounts or expanding the frame.
Peerless Industries is unveiling its brand-new Paramount line at CES, designed to offer professional-grade quality with high consumer value. The line provides mounting solutions for flat-panel TVs from 10 inches to 60 inches, covering all options such as flat, tilting, pivoting and articulating wall mounts. Additional solutions in the line include ceiling and wall projector mounts, speaker mounts and an A/V shelf that holds up to 100 pounds of A/V accessories.
The yellow and black packaging of the Paramount line has been designed to be both eye-catching and informative, the company said, enabling customers to easily identify the type of mount they are purchasing and featuring photography to illustrate the end result of the installation. All products in the line are UL listed, include cable-management options, and are available in high-gloss black and high-gloss silver. The line will ship beginning in March.
Also making its debut from Peerless is the next-generation SmartMount 600 Series of flat and tilting wall mounts, featuring an open wall-plate design to enable flexible flat-panel wall installation. Designed to accommodate installation obstacles such as electrical outlets and unevenly spaced studs, the mounts' flexible, open-wall plate design provides more than 6 inches of vertical space to allow even a four-outlet electrical gang box to be placed within the plate's perimeter.
The low-profile design of the SmartMount 600 flat mounts keeps TVs tight against the wall, yet maintains clearance for cable management and proper TV ventilation, according to the company. All tilt models come standard with easy-grip levers that allow the TV to lock into any tilt angle. Products will be available in February.
A new family of premium, high-performance mounting systems is being introduced at CES by Salamander Designs. The Dyno Series consists of four dynamic, articulating wall mounts that feature multiple arms, a hinge and ball joints to allow screens to be simultaneously rotated, tilted and pivoted. The mounts incorporate the company's weightless ZeroForce tilt mechanisms for effortless maneuverability, and also offer an anti-theft lock, cable management clip, and extensive wings for added mounting flexibility.
The Dyno Series mounts feature single-stud assembly and a pull-cord release for easy TV removal. The Dyno 100 Medium supports up to 100 pounds and swivels 90 degrees left and right and 15 degrees up and down. It integrates with Salamander's Synchro Wall Cover to hide cables; and the Synchro Wall Shelf can be added for storage of A/V equipment.
Also new from Salamander is the Flexo Series, consisting of five low-profile wall mounts incorporating the company's ZeroForce tilt mechanisms. An advanced click system makes installation safe and easy, according to the company; and additional features include pull-cord TV release, anti-theft lock, flexible mounting wings, and — in some models — the ability to accommodate speakers. The Flexo A/V 200 XL, for example, supports most flat-panel TVs from 42 to 60 inches and up to 175 pounds, as well as most on-wall left, right and center-channel speakers. A Lift-n-Load feature simplifies installation and angle adjustment.
Chief is rolling out its recently introduced In-Wall Swing Arm Mounts for 26- to 63-inch flat panels. Described by the company as the first fully integrated in-wall mount, the products include both the in-wall box and swing arm mount in a configuration less than 8 inches wide. The MIWV, MIWU and PIWU are designed to provide a complete, easy-to-install in-wall mounting solution that enables positioning with cutting into studs or installing headers.
Chief's new swing arm mount kits feature "fingertip" tilt (15-degree downward) as well as lateral shift and height adjustment. Their low profile offers less than a 2-inch depth from the wall when retracted, with up to 15 inches of extension and 40 degrees of swivel. Integrated cable management and a trim kit are provided for a clean installation.
PDR Mounts is shipping its new IWB-250, a three-stud in-wall flush mount solution designed to accommodate flat-panel displays from 50 inches up to 85 inches. Successfully tested at more than 1,100 pounds, the mount is designed to handle a heavy load yet virtually disappear into the wall when folded, according to the company.
The IWB-250's special design allows installers to choose between two PDR articulating mounts to finalize the installation: the single-arm, 175-pound-rated AWM-175 or the 250-pound-rated, dual-arm AWM-250. Either articulating arm will fold smoothly within the IWB-250 in-wall box for a minimized profile. In addition, the PDR in-wall flush mounts feature a shimless design to shorten installation time for custom installers. Suggested retail for the IWB-250 is $470.
AVF is launching a new series of products in its Nexus line of premium LCD/plasma wall mounts at CES. The new cast-aluminum products are designed to offer full-motion movement for both smaller and larger screens.
The NXL series mounts for small LCD TVs incorporate new features including the "Click & Lock" mechanism to make installation easier, an easy-grip locking control mechanism for tilt adjustment, and improved cable management. The products offer the styling of other Nexus products, as well as a soft cushioned VESA plate interface. Screens from 12 to 23 inches and up to 33 pounds are accommodated by the mounts, which include a close-to-wall swivel and tilt model (NXL002), a single-arm model offering two swivel points and tilt (NXL003), and dual-armed mount with three swivel points and tilt (NXL004).
AVF's NXL Infinity series mounts for medium and large LCD TVs are designed with high-tech styling and offer unlimited screen positioning through five swivel points and tilt. The NXL604 Infinity is a multifunctional wall mount that folds flat to the wall or extends out to 23 inches, and accommodates 12- to 40-inch screens weighing up to 88 pounds. The NXL704 Infinity mount holds 30- to 50-inch screens weighing up to 100 pounds. Complementing the LCD/plasma mounts is the NXS200, an A/V mounting system for use with HD recorders, DVD players and other components, which can be used individually or stacked and which hides cables in the trunking of the mount.
New from North American Cable Equipment (NACE) is the Cabletronix CT-PLB-WA6 articulating wall mount, a universal wall bracket designed to accommodate 30- to 63-inch plasma and LCD displays up to 125 pounds. The mounting system employs movable arms that allow for +/-45 degrees of rotation and +/-15 degrees of tilt.
The CT-PLB-WA6 can be adjusted up to 31.9 inches in width and from 2.95 to 18.9 inches in height. Available in silver or black finish, the mount comes complete with all necessary installation hardware at a retailer/dealer cost of $179.99 per unit.
OmniMount is shipping its ULPT-X, an extra-large, ultra-low-profile tilt mount that supports flat panels from 55 to 75 inches. Also available in a professional version (the LPHDX-T), the mount features a slim profile of 1.5 inches off the wall in the fixed position. It is made from heavy-grade steel with an anthracite powder-coated finish, and includes extruded aluminum end-caps for a clean side view.
Premier Mounts is introducing a new series of A/V mounting kits for retail. The kits include some of the company's most popular flat-panel mounts along with HDMI cables (1.3a certified) and surge protection.
The AVKPTM kit includes Premier's PTM low-profile mount, which fits most 10- to 40-inch LCDs and offers +/-15 degrees of tilt, along with a 6-foot HDMI cable with gold connectors and a six-outlet surge protector. The AVKUFM kit includes Premier's UFM mount, which fits most 37- to 61-inch flat panels and offers a low-profile design and built-in lateral shift. The kit also includes a 9-foot HDMI cable with gold connectors and an eight-outlet surge protector with three dedicated AC-adapter outlets and a coaxial input/output.
Sanus Systems is launching the VisionMount LT25 tilting wall mount for large flat-panel TVs. New post-installation features on the LT25 include height adjustment and roll control for TV leveling. With the new "Quick Latch" feature, the TV quickly and easily locks to the wall plate, without bolts or tools. The mount also has two props that hold the bottom of the TV away from the wall for easy access to cables during and after installation.
The mount supports flat panels from 30 to 55 inches and up to 175 pounds. It is available in black or silver. In addition, the LT22 from Sanus offers similar features but in a low-profile design.
Monster is rolling out five recently introduced products in its Monster FlatScreen line. Three FlatScreen PowerMounts feature power conditioning and power protection built right into the mounts. Each mount has built-in Monster SurgeGuard AC outlets and coax connections, Dual Mode Plus disconnect circuitry with audible alarm for protection against secondary surges and spikes, and Clean Power circuitry to filter powerline noise.
The new PowerMounts include the PerfectView 450S, a two-outlet articulating mount that fits 10- to 24-inch LCD TVs; the PerfectView 450M, an articulating mount with Z-Fold extending swing arms that holds 24- to 37-inch LCD TVs; and the PerfectView 450L, an ultra-secure articulating mount with heavy-duty dual extending swing arms that fits 37- to 60-inch TVs. Retail prices range from $119 to $699.
Monster's two new FlatScreen Wall Mounts include the PerfectView 400M, an articulating arm wall mount for 26- to 37-inch LCD TVs, which offers 25-inch extension off the wall and wide-angle swivel; and the PerfectView 400L FlatScreen Wall Mount for LCD TVs from 37 to 60 inches, which features an articulating arm that extends the TV up to 26 inches off the wall. Both come in black or silver, and retail for $249 and $599, respectively.
