These were long in the making, and still not perfectly fitted, but close. So close. Sewing pants is easy. Fitting is tough. After a day of wearing them, the stretch cotton became much to baggy for my liking. I have enough to try again for a perfect fit, and once done, this pattern should prove to be quite versatile.
I interlined the trousers with an orange stretch lining, using this ingenious method, encasing the raw edges. The crotch was simply serged and pressed to the side. I shortened the side zip so that it didn't end on my widest part. And instead of self facing, I used red Petersham ribbon. It feels divine on the skin!
I'm still going to consider these a wearable muslin until I get the fit just so. Of course, there's more over on the bloggy blog.

Thanks for the link to that underlining method. The inside looks so nice. I think the fit looks pretty good. And I love the color!

It's brilliant, right?! I hope to perfect the fit soon :)

great fit! great pair of trousers! lovely color and very well finished (look at the inside! WOW!!) i am impressed!
Feb 16, 2012, 06.08 PMby threadsquare
They're a work in progress, but thanks! You have to try the interlining method… I know you'll love it!

Well – I think you nailed the fitting! They do look fab on you and the colour is gorgeous! That red lining is is fantastic! Lovely Darl! There is NO WAY I would ever get up the gumption to sew, let alone fit, trousers! You are very clever! xxx
Feb 16, 2012, 06.07 PMby threadsquare
Sewing them is ridiculously easy. Fitting? Ugh! I wish an expert could come over and point out exactly what is going on! I'm still working on getting them with nary a drag line!

Well its been about two years since I've updated this old thing.
First of all, I want to say thank you to all my readers, and everyone that has supported me throughout the journey of TDD. As most of you may know, I took at job at Mirrorball back in March 2010 to help make HPNOTIQ a little more culturally relevant. Since then, life here has been a whirlwind and I have my little blog to thank. I spend most of my days working on Societe Perrier, as well as doing social strategy for brands such as Amstel Light, Dos XX, Harley Davidson, Pernod Absinthe, Berocca, and L'Oreal. I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for TDD.
With that said – please visit http://kristinamarino.com to keep current with my whereabouts and doings. I'm also pretty in to Instagram so follow me there… http://instagram.com/downtowndiaries

Out of Stock
Item # GIO0546
2012 This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Short Finger Cycling Gloves in stock than that.
Giordana Corsa Logo Glove $0.00
Hold on and enjoy the ride.
The Giordana Corsa Logo Gloves are refreshingly free of the over-complication that's afflicting many of today's cycling gloves. Instead of catchy acronyms or dubious anatomic claims, you'll find a sensible palm with enough padding to smooth out the ride. Additionally, Giordana incorporated a contoured fit that resists either pinching or bunching. Some things in life are best when they're simple, and these gloves serve as a fine example.
The first thing that you'll notice when you slip on the Corsa gloves is that the palms are lightly padded. No, it doesn't have as much bulky fluff as some others, but there's plenty of padding to damp road vibration and to protect your hands from numbness. The upshot is that the padding is firm enough to maintain a precise grip, which in turn, provides an unrestricted handling feel. Moving to the back of the glove, the contoured cut works in conjunction with the Lycra in order to minimize both bunching and pinching. Accordingly, your immediacy of control is further increased.
Securing the fit are hook-and-loop closures, which also enable a degree of customization to the feel of the gloves. Additionally, Giordana included terry cloth thumb wipes that are gentle on your face when it comes time to wipe excess sweat off of your brow.
The Giordana Corsa Logo Gloves are available in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the color Logo.

Representative for Assemblyman Knight arrested after standoff
Rebecca Tennison jailed for assault with a deadly weapon
HESPERIA • Assemblyman Steve Knight's Victor Valley field representative was arrested following an hour-long standoff at her Hesperia home, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials.
Rebecca Tennison, 48, is being held at West Valley Detention Center on $50,000 bail for charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being an accessory, sheriff's booking logs show. She was arrested just before 6 p.m. Tuesday at her home in the 14600 block of Harding Court.
Her husband, Ronald Tennison, was arrested at 6:15 p.m. for two charges of assault with a deadly weapon, possessing explosives and threatening a crime, according to booking records. He's also being held at West Valley Detention Center on $550,000 bail.
Ronald Tennison had driven to a neighbor's home on Ranchero Road earlier that evening and began yelling about a barking dog, eventually pointing a gun at the neighbor, according to a statement Wednesday from Sgt. Ken Lutz with the sheriff's Hesperia station. The neighbor called 911 and deputies were sent to the Tennison's home.
When deputies arrived, Ronald Tennison slammed the door and refused to come out of the house, sheriff's officials said. A source with knowledge of the situation said the man suffered brain trauma in an accident five years ago and is on medication.
Rebecca Tennison, knowing her husband has complications from his accident and that there were weapons in the home, was afraid the confrontation would escalate to a gun battle, according to the source. Sheriff's officials said she came out of the home but refused to come off the porch or cooperate with deputies' directions, relaying information to her husband through the living room window.
Rebecca Tennison's stepson, Harry Tennison, 41, arrived at the home and also refused to cooperate, sheriff's officials said. He was arrested just before 5 p.m. on charges of obstructing a police officer, sheriff's records show, and he was cited and released by midnight.
After an hour of negotiating with Ronald and Rebecca Tennison, sheriff's officials said the man exited the home and both the husband and wife were arrested.
Deputies then searched the Harding Court home and found several firearms, a large supply of ammunition and several grenades — at least one with the ability to explode. The sheriff's Bombs/Arson Detail was called to the home to handle the devices.
Ronald Tennison will be in Victorville Superior Court on Thursday and Friday to address his charges. He has no prior criminal record in this county, according to a search of court records.
Rebecca Tennison is due in court on Thursday to answer to the charges. Court records show she only had minor traffic violations in San Bernardino County prior to this incident.
Friends and colleagues took to VVDailyPress.com Wednesday to express their surprise over the incident and their support for Rebecca Tennison.
"Rebecca is not only a hard working woman who tries to do the best for her family and her community but a kind and loving stepmother, and grandmother who goes out of her way to show compassion for all people," commentor Sharon Bowers Rajacich posted.
"The Assemblyman and his staff are committed to being there for Rebecca and her family during this difficult situation, and will await her arraignment and any charges that may be filed against her before commenting further," Knight's office said in a statement.
Knight, R-Lancaster, currently represents the 36th Assembly District. He is running on the November ballot against Democratic candidate Star Moffatt to become state senator for the 21st District.

Get-tough policies against transient crime have contributed to a 49% decline in incidents in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2008.
Newly released statistics show from Jan. 1 to March 31 the number of transient arrests in the city of Sarasota dropped 73%. The only crime committed by transients that rose from the first quarter of 2008 was residential and business burglaries, which went from six to nine. (See chart, page 4).
Lt. Jeff Karr credits a year-old policy that calls for officers to make arrests or issue summonses every time a transient breaks a law. They no longer issue warnings for things such as open container or use of foul language.
"People used to get multiple warnings," Karr said. "You have four shifts of officers, and one officer didn't know that two days earlier another officer gave a similar warning to the same person."
Although the police department counted 64 more transients in the first quarter of 2009 than the fourth quarter of 2008, for a total of 1,059, the percentage of crimes committed by those transients has declined by about half.

Yikes! – This is one of the dirtiest motel rooms I've ever seen. Dirty walls and moldy windows, stunk like something died in there. This motel should be torn down. I can't believe they are in business. I immediately got a refund. Bug central.
family owned with affordable price, descent custmoer service – I've spent some weeks at this hotel, and I enjoyed staying here. this is not a 5 star hotel.. but for a price wise, I've received good service, if any problem occurs, management seems to take care of it asap, not like other inexpensive hotels. so.... overall "excellent!!"

Re: Do you have location services switched on?
I've never used location services on any of my Androids unless I am traveling. I can get 6-7 hours of screen time with CPU Power Saver on and haptic feedback disabled (that's how I run my phone since a 1.1GHz quad core is way more than enough to run day to day tasks)
Re: Do you have location services switched on?
I have mine turned on all the time for security purposes. My security app has some great features to find my phone if its lost so I need to have location services enabled. I get good battery life with moderate usage, I wouldn't worry about my battery while having location services turned on unless you're on your phone ALL day and then it wouldn't matter what you had turned off or on, your battery would take a hit anyway

Re: Do you have location services switched on?
I have mine on and get 16 hours of heavy use. I don't understand people's fascinating with getting 2 or 3 days of battery life. Not sure I'll ever believe that of any smartphone unless data is off and phone is rarely being used. I find it strange that people even say that, and are not putting their phone on the charger every night when they are sleeping. I don't get it, but that's just me I guess.

There are individuals whom have rooted their phones and obviouslly are getting incredible battery performance. These are also individuals who spend a great deal of time assisting others on this forum. Casting doubt on what they have to say is out of line.
The other day with light to moderate use I had nailed 15.8. Hrs with 53% remaining. Prior to the 4.1.2 update my best was 16hrs uptime with 63% remaining. Im am 100% stock, and have 2 weather apps and 1game (Quento)
Many of the individuals who are quoting 1 day plus batt times are rooted and gleaned their device for optimum efficiency. - 01-27-2013, 02:50 PM #8

Re: Do you have location services switched on?
Well...back on topic.. im not sure location services is the same as having an active gps connection. Location services has to do with taking pictures that have the location info within the photo or doing a google search for a business in your area. Because location services are on these phones will use cell phone tower triangulation to find your location. Its kind of like how gps works in that it uses signals from multiple towers to gauge the distance to you. Using a formula and map it gains an appr. location. Yes it uses a little more power but ONLY when you use these services. Its not an all the time thing. Hope this helps.

Re: Do you have location services switched on?
To be honest, in the old version of Android with gps on would drain the battery for no reason. And now ever since, Gingerbread, leaving the gps switch on will not drain the battery. It only drain the battery when an app called for it. It only on for 10 sec and it disappeared to stand by mode. It depends on the apps you use. If you are using Traffic card on Google now and that will have impact on the battery. But if you keep the traffic card off, then it have minimal impact on the battery that is so unnoticeable. I leave my gps on because of Mobile Security which it a phone locator. Had a bad experience with losing my previous phone. And Mobile Security only do the location check every 90 min and that only took 5 sec to check the gps.
If you have an app that using the gps far than what it is intended for, then You should stop using that app and remove it.
I compared my battery with gps on and gps off. Both of them have unnoticeable impact on battery. I get two days of battery with moderate use with gps on and off. Basically ever since Gingerbread improve the use of gps. I have HTC phone with gingerbread and leaving the gps on have barely any impact on the battery.
Again it is really depends on the phone, if the phone have lousy gps quality and it require a longer time to check the gps. Then it the phone that came with that gps. I suggest you get a different phone. So far, HTC MyTouch 4G, Samsung Galaxy S 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 have no problem with the gps.
Again it depends on the phone and how heavy that app is calling the gps.

Re: Do you have location services switched on?
I always follow the philosophy of only turning on what I use/need, so only Google location services are turned on (for weather and general Google Maps location info). Otherwise, I never turn on VZW location services (really not needed unless you use certain Verizon apps that use it, Google location typically does the job anyway) and only GPS as needed (ex. for navigation). That way I never have to worry about GPS turning itself on and using battery (some apps can do that depending on their settings).

In several articles in the National Gazette, James Madison adjusts his earlier views on parties and public opinion, and advances a republican critique of Hamilton's policies (see From Bullets to Ballots, pp. 66-72).
Much has been said, and not without reason, against a consolidation of the states into one government. Omitting lesser objections, two consequences would probably flow from such a change in our political system, which would justify the cautions used against it. First, it would be impossible to avoid the dilemma of either relinquishing the present energy and responsibility of a single executive magistrate for some plural substitute, which by dividing so great a trust might lessen the danger of it, or suffering so great an accumulation of powers in the hands of that officer as might by degrees transform him into a monarch. The incompetency of one legislature to regulate all the various objects belonging to the local governments would evidently force a transfer of many of them to the executive department, whilst the increasing splendor and number of its prerogatives supplied by this source might prove excitements to ambition too powerful for a sober execution of the elective plan, and consequently strengthen the pretexts for a hereditary designation of the magistrate. Second, were the state governments abolished, the same space of country that would produce an undue growth of the executive power would prevent that control on the legislative body which is essential to a faithful discharge of its trust; neither the voice nor the sense of ten or twenty millions of people, spread through so many latitudes as are comprehended within the United States, could ever be combined or called into effect if deprived of those local organs through which both can now be conveyed. In such a state of things, the impossibility of acting together might be succeeded by the inefficacy of partial expressions of the public mind and this, at length, by a universal silence and insensibility, leaving the whole government to that self-directed course which, it must be owned, is the natural propensity of every government.
But if a consolidation of the states into one government be an event so justly to be avoided, it is not less to be desired, on the other hand, that a consolidation should prevail in their interests and affections. . . . In proportion as uniformity is found to prevail in the interests and sentiments of the several states, will be the practicability of accommodating legislative regulations to them, and thereby of withholding new and dangerous prerogatives from the executive. Again, the greater the mutual confidence and affection of all parts of the Union, the more likely they will be to concur amicably or to differ with moderation in the elective designation of the chief magistrate, and by such examples to guard and adorn the vital principle of our republican constitution. Lastly, the less the supposed difference of interests and the greater the concord and confidence throughout the great body of the people, the more readily must they sympathize with each other, the more seasonably can they interpose a common manifestation of their sentiments, the more certainly will they take the alarm at usurpation or oppression, and the more effectually will they consolidate their defense of the public liberty.
Here, then, is a proper object presented, both to those who are most jealously attached to the separate authority reserved to the states and to those who may be more inclined to contemplate the people of America in the light of one
nation. Let the former continue to watch against every encroachment which might lead to a gradual consolidation of the states into one government. Let the latter employ their utmost zeal, by eradicating local prejudices and mistaken rivalships, to consolidate the affairs of the states into one harmonious interest; and let it be the patriotic study of all to maintain the various authorities established by our complicated system, each in its respective constitutional sphere, and to erect over the whole one paramount empire of reason, benevolence, and brotherly affection.
Public opinion sets bounds to every government, and is the real sovereign in every free one.
As there are cases where the public opinion must be obeyed by the government; so there are cases, where not being fixed, it may be influenced by the government. This distinction, if kept in view, would prevent or decide many debates on the respect due from the government to the sentiments of the people.
In proportion as government is influenced by opinion, it must be so, by whatever influences opinion. This decides the question concerning a Constitutional Declaration of Rights, which requires an influence on government, by becoming a part of the public opinion.
The larger a country, the less easy for its real opinion to be ascertained, and the less difficult to be counterfeited; when ascertained or presumed, the more respectable it is in the eyes of individuals. This is favorable to the authority of government. For the same reason, the more extensive a country, the more insignificant is each individual in his own eyes. This may be unfavorable to liberty.
Whatever facilitates a general intercourse of sentiments, as good roads, domestic commerce, a free press, and particularly a circulation of newspapers through the entire body of the people, and Representatives going from, and returning among every part of them, is equivalent to a contraction of territorial limits, and is favorable to liberty, where these may be too extensive.
In every political society, parties are unavoidable. A difference of interests, real or supposed, is the most natural and fruitful source of them. The great object should be to combat the evil: 1. By establishing a political equality among all; 2. By witholding unnecessary opportunities from a few to increase the inequality of property by an immoderate, and especially an unmerited, accumulation of riches; 3. By the silent operation of laws which, without violating the rights of property, reduce extreme wealth towards a state of mediocrity and raise extreme indigence towards a state of comfort; 4. By abstaining from measures which operate differently on different interests, and particularly such as favor one interest at the expense of another; 5. By making
one party a check on the other so far as the existence of parties cannot be prevented nor their views accommodated. If this is not the language of reason, it is that of republicanism.
In all political societies, different interests and parties arise out of the nature of things, and the great art of politicians lies in making them checks and balances to each other. Let us then increase these natural distinctions by favoring an inequality of property; and let us add to them artificial distinctions, by establishing kings and nobles and plebians. We shall then have the more checks to oppose to each other: we shall then have the more scales and the more weights to perfect and maintain the equilibrium. This is as little the voice of reason as it is that of republicanism.
From the expediency, in politics, of making natural parties mutual checks on each other, to infer the propriety of creating artificial parties, in order to form them into mutual checks, is not less absurd than it would be, in ethics, to say that new vices ought to be promoted, where they would counteract each other, because this use may be made of existing vices.
Power being found by universal experience liable to abuses, a distribution of it into separate departments has become a first principle of free governments. By this contrivance, the portion entrusted to the same hands being less, there is less room to abuse what is granted; and the different hands being interested, each in maintaining its own, there is less opportunity to usurp what is not granted. Hence the merited praise of governments modelled on a partition of their powers into legislative, executive, and judiciary, and a repartition of the legislative into different houses.
The political system of the United States claims still higher praise. The power delegated by the people is first divided between the general government and the state governments, each of which is then subdivided into legislative, executive, and judiciary departments. And as in a single government these departments are to be kept separate and safe, by a defensive armour for each; so, it is to be hoped, do the two governments possess each the means of preventing or correcting unconstitutional encroachments of the other.
Should this improvement on the theory of free government not be marred in the execution, it may prove the best legacy ever left by lawgivers to their country, and the best lesson ever given to the world by its benefactors. If a
security against power lies in the division of it into parts mutually controlling each other, the security must increase with the increase of the parts into which the whole can be conveniently formed.
It must not be denied that the task of forming and maintaining a division of power between different governments is greater than among different departments of the same government, because it may be more easy (though sufficiently difficult) to separate, by proper definitions, the legislative, executive, and judiciary powers, which are more distinct in their nature, than to discriminate by precise enumerations one class of legislative powers from another class, one class of executive from another class, and one class of judiciary from another class, where the powers being of a more kindred nature, their boundaries are more obscure and run more into each other.
If the task be difficult, however, it must by no means be abandoned. Those who would pronounce it impossible offer no alternative to their country but schism or consolidation, both of them bad, but the latter the worst, since it is the high road to monarchy, than which nothing worse, in the eye of republicans, could result from the anarchy implied in the former.
Those who love their country, its repose, and its republicanism, will therefore study to avoid the alternative, by elucidating and guarding the limits which define the two governments, by inculcating moderation in the exercise of the powers of both, and particularly a mutual abstinence from such as might nurse present jealousies or engender greater.
In bestowing the eulogies due to the partitions and internal checks of power, it ought not the less to be remembered that they are neither the sole nor the chief palladium of constitutional liberty. The people, who are the authors of this blessing, must also be its guardians. Their eyes must be ever ready to mark, their voice to pronounce, and their arm to repel or repair aggressions on
the authority of their constitutions, the highest authority next to their own, because the immediate work of their own, and the most sacred part of their property, as recognizing and recording the title to every other.
No government is perhaps reducible to a sole principle of operation. Where the theory approaches nearest to this character, different and often heterogeneous principles mingle their influence in the administration. It is useful nevertheless to analyze the several kinds of government, and to characterize them by the spirit which predominates in each.
Montesquieu has resolved the great operative principles of government into fear, honor, and virtue, applying the first to pure despotisms, the second to regular monarchies, and the third to republics. The portion of truth blended with the ingenuity of this system sufficiently justifies the admiration bestowed on its author. Its accuracy however can never be defended against the criticisms which it has encountered. Montesquieu was in politics not a Newton or a Locke, who established immortal systems, the one in matter, the other in mind. He was in his particular science what Bacon was in universal science: He lifted the veil from the venerable errors which enslaved opinion and pointed the way to those luminous truths of which he had but a glimpse himself.
May not governments be properly divided, according to their predominant spirit and principles, into three species of which the following are examples?
First. A government operating by a permanent military force, which at once maintains the government and is maintained by it; which is at once the cause of burdens on the people and of submission in the people to their burdens. Such have been the governments under which human nature has groaned through every age. Such are the governments which still oppress it in almost every country of Europe, the quarter of the globe which calls itself the pattern of civilization and the pride of humanity.
Secondly. A government operating by corrupt influence; substituting the motive of private interest in place of public duty; converting its pecuniary dispensations into bounties to favorites or bribes to opponents; accommodating its measures to the avidity of a part of the nation instead of the benefit of the whole: in a word, enlisting an army of interested partisans, whose tongues, whose pens, whose intrigues, and whose active combinations, by supplying the terror of the sword, may support a real domination of the few under an apparent liberty of the many. Such a government, wherever to be found, is an impostor. It is happy for the new world that it is not on the west side of the Atlantic. It will be both happy and honorable for the United States if they never descend to mimic the costly pageantry of its form, nor betray themselves into the venal spirit of its administration.
Thirdly. A government deriving its energy from the will of the society, and operating by the reason of its measures on the understanding and interest of the society. Such is the government for which philosophy has been searching,
and humanity been sighing, from the most remote ages. Such are the republican governments which it is the glory of America to have invented, and her unrivalled happiness to possess. May her glory be completed by every improvement on the theory which experience may teach; and her happiness be perpetuated by a system of administration corresponding with the purity of the theory.
A perfect theory on this subject would be useful, not because it could be reduced to practice by any plan of legislation, or ought to be attempted by violence on the will or property of individuals, but because it would be a monition against empirical experiments by power, and a model to which the free choice of occupations by the people might gradually approximate the order of society.
The best distribution is that which would most favor health, virtue, intelligence and competency in the greatest number of citizens. It is needless to add to these objects liberty and safety. The first is presupposed by them. The last must result from them.
The life of the husbandman is pre-eminently suited to the comfort and happiness of the individual. Health, the first of blessings, is an appurtenance of his property and his employment. Virtue, the health of the soul, is another part of his patrimony, and no less favored by his situation. Intelligence may be cultivated in this as well as in any other walk of life. If the mind be less susceptible of polish in retirement than in a crowd, it is more capable of profound and comprehensive efforts. Is it more ignorant of some things? It has a compensation in its ignorance of others. Competency is more universally the lot of those who dwell in the country, when liberty is at the same time their lot. The extremes both of want and of waste have other abodes. 'Tis not the country that peoples either the Bridewells or the Bedlams. These mansions of wretchedness are tenanted from the distresses and vices of overgrown cities.
The condition to which the blessings of life are most denied is that of the sailor. His health is continually assailed and his span shortened by the stormy element to which he belongs. His virtue, at no time aided, is occasionally exposed to every scene that can poison it. His mind, like his body, is imprisoned within the bark that transports him. Though traversing and circumnavigating the globe, he sees nothing but the same vague objects of nature, the same monotonous occurrences in ports and docks; and at home in his vessel, what new ideas can shoot from the unvaried use of the ropes and the rudder, or from the society of comrades as ignorant as himself. In the supply of his wants he often feels a scarcity, seldom more than a bare sustenance; and if his ultimate prospects do not embitter the present moment, it is because he never looks beyond it. How unfortunate that in the intercourse
by which nations are enlightened and refined, and their means of safety extended, the immediate agents should be distinguished by the hardest condition of humanity.
The great interval between the two extremes is, with a few exceptions, filled by those who work the materials furnished by the earth in its natural or cultivated state.
It is fortunate in general, and particularly for this country, that so much of the ordinary and most essential consumption takes place in fabrics which can be prepared in every family, and which constitute indeed the natural ally of agriculture. The former is the work within doors, as the latter is without; and each being done by hands or at times that can be spared from the other, the most is made of every thing.
The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy. They are more: they are the best basis of public liberty, and the strongest bulwark of public safety. It follows that the greater the proportion of this class to the whole society, the more free, the more independent, and the more happy must be the society itself.
In appreciating the regular branches of manufacturing and mechanical industry, their tendency must be compared with the principles laid down, and their merits graduated accordingly. Whatever is least favorable to vigor of body, to the faculties of the mind, or to the virtues or the utilities of life, instead of being forced or fostered by public authority, ought to be seen with regret as long as occupations more friendly to human happiness lie vacant.
The several professions of more elevated pretensions, the merchant, the lawyer, the physician, the philosopher, the divine, form a certain proportion of every civilized society, and readily adjust their numbers to its demands and its circumstances.
As it is the business of the contemplative statesman to trace the history of parties in a free country, so it is the duty of the citizen at all times to understand the actual state of them. Whenever this duty is omitted, an opportunity is given to designing men, by the use of artificial or nominal distinctions, to oppose and balance against each other those who never differed as to the end to be pursued, and may no longer differ as to the means of attaining it. The most interesting state of parties in the United States may be referred to three periods. Those who espoused the cause of independence and those who adhered to the British claims formed the parties of the first period, if, indeed, the disaffected class were considerable enough to deserve the name of a party. This state of things was superseded by the treaty of peace in 1783. From 1783 to 1787 there were parties in abundance, but being rather local than general, they are not within the present review.
The Federal Constitution, proposed in the latter year, gave birth to a second and most interesting division of the people. Everyone remembers it, because everyone was involved in it.
Among those who embraced the Constitution, the great body were unquestionably friends to republican liberty, tho' there were, no doubt, some who were openly or secretly attached to monarchy and aristocracy, and hoped to make the Constitution a cradle for these hereditary establishments.
Among those who opposed the Constitution, the great body were certainly well affected to the union and to good government, tho' there might be a few who had a leaning unfavorable to both. This state of parties was terminated by the regular and effectual establishment of the federal government in 1788; out of the administration of which, however, has arisen a third division, which being natural to most political societies, is likely to be of some duration
in ours.
One of the divisions consists of those who, from particular interest, from natural temper, or from the habits of life, are more partial to the opulent than to the other classes of society; and having debauched themselves into a persuasion that mankind are incapable of governing themselves, it follows with them, of course, that government can be carried on only by the pageantry of rank, the influence of money and emoluments, and the terror of military force. Men of those sentiments must naturally wish to point the measures of government less to the interest of the many than of a few, and less to the reason of the many than to their weaknesses; hoping perhaps in proportion to the ardor of their zeal, that by giving such a turn to the administration, the government itself may by degrees be narrowed into fewer hands and approximated to a hereditary form.
The other division consists of those who, believing in the doctrine that mankind are capable of governing themselves and hating hereditary power as an insult to the reason and an outrage to the rights of man, are naturally offended at every public measure that does not appeal to the understanding and to the general interests of the community, or that is not strictly conformable to the principles and conducive to the preservation of republican government.
This being the real state of parties among us, an experienced and dispassionate observer will be at no loss to decide on the probable conduct of each.
The antirepublican party, as it may be called, being the weaker in point of numbers, will be induced by the most obvious motives to strengthen themselves with the men of influence, particularly of moneyed, which is the most active and insinuating influence. It will be equally their true policy to weaken their opponents by reviving exploded parties and taking advantage of all prejudices, local, political, and occupational, that may prevent or disturb a general coalition of sentiments.
The Republican party, as it may be termed, conscious that the mass of people in every part of the union, in every state, and of every occupation must at bottom be with them, both in interest and sentiment, will naturally find their account in burying all antecedent questions, in banishing every other distinction than that between enemies and friends to republican government, and in promoting a general harmony among the latter, wherever residing or however employed.
Whether the republican or the rival party will ultimately establish its ascendance is a problem which may be contemplated now; but which time alone can solve. On one hand experience shows that in politics as in war, stratagem is often an overmatch for numbers: and among more happy characteristics of our political situation, it is now well understood that there are peculiarities, some temporary, others more durable, which may favor that side in the contest. On the republican side, again, the superiority of numbers is so great, their sentiments are so decided, and the practice of making a common cause, where there is a common sentiment and common interest, in spight of circumstantial and artificial distinctions, is so well understood, that no temperate observer of human affairs will be surprised if the issue in the present instance should be reversed, and the government be administered in the spirit and form approved by the great body of the people.

Bay Bayou RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is my first time at Bay Bayou and I must say that this park is one of my favorites in the area. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the park is filled with big oak trees and there are little flower gardens planted throughout the park which made me feel like I was at home. The sites themselves are all very large and spacious, I had a premium site right on the river and it was perfect since my husband loves to fish. The staff and the guests are all very friendly and even my dog had a great time playing in the dog park. I would recommend this park to anyone traveling through or staying in the Tampa area! I will be back next year.

text: June Think your boyfriend doesn't notice your makeup? Think again Many girls think guys notice every tiny detail of their appearance, and get upset when their boyfriend doesn't say anything about their new eyeshadow shade. Others assume men don't notice or care about any of our beauty techniques. While all men are different, some cosmetics do have the power to influence your guy, according to Cosmopolitan Magazine. Too much lipstick can be a deterrent to men, since many see it as a barrier to your lips. They tend to see it as something that will get on their skin and clothes, which prevents them from getting close and giving you a big smooch. Instead, try a flavored lip gloss or balm, so every kiss tastes as sweet as it feels, the news outlet reports. That said, he probably won't notice if you forget lipstick, so don't freak out if you do! In fact, some observations of men have been scientifically proven, according to Cosmo. Men are biologically wired to notice signs of a woman's health. That means that while he might not notice if your roots need touching up or you are wearing your eyeshadow differently, he will notice if your hair is unhealthy looking or your eyes are bloodshot. Glamour Magazine reports that there seems to be a divide between "guy pretty" and "girl pretty." For example, guys tend to like long hairstyles better on women, while girls admire ladies who rock a trendy pixie cut. Men also generally like more natural-looking makeup, like plain mascara, while girls like to try out all kinds of fun eyeshadow colors and trends. However, there are plenty of trends that men and women can agree on. Bright, fun nail polish is one, the magazine reports. Another is shimmery lip gloss.

Khopotso Bodibe
Following a Health-e report last week and after initially denying it, Dr Nomonde Xundu, the head of health in Gauteng, has now confirmed that she is leaving the distressed unit after serving only 11 months of her three-year contract.Dr Nomonde Xundu decided to cut short her tenure as head of health in Gauteng and will be leaving at the end of this month. This was announced yesterday at a small media briefing to give feed-back on the turn-around strategy devised to breathe life into the ailing health system of Gauteng, by Health MEC, Hope Papo. "We respected her right to do that because, ultimately, you can't force people to work. Part of the work she'll be doing before she leaves… just sorting out the remaining posts, a proper hand-over report, we'll appoint an Acting Head of Department immediately. We don't want a situation where we don't have an HoD by the end of the year. It will be a quick process to appoint an HoD. In that process we are working with the office of the Premier, the current HoD (and) the national Department of Health", Papo said at the briefing.Dr Xundu will be returning to her previous position as South Africa's health attaché in America. She was seconded by the national Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, to head up Gauteng Health for three years. But just 11 months into the position, she is leaving. Dr Xundu says the decision was based on personal reasons."When you have options, you consider your options. There's a longer contract for four years in exciting work in the US and the UN. There's exciting work that is coming through in the multi-lateral system now beyond the MDG 2015 – universal coverage, we're talking NHI now. If internationally, people are talking about universal coverage, I want to be part of those negotiations and discussions. So, it was a matter of a personal choice. What further growth would I have had personally if I stayed longer than two years compared to where I'm going to now? Those are some of the things that I had to consider in making the decision", she says.She refutes reports from various sources within the provincial Health Department that she was ineffective in her position as head of health. Sources say she was the wrong candidate for the position as she had no experience managing health systems as her background is limited to the HIV field."I've come through the ranks. I have worked as an intern in this province. I have worked as a medical officer in this province. I have worked as a medical registrar in this province. I've been in the ward. I know what it is to run a medical ward. I've worked in the Johannesburg circuit of hospitals. I've worked at Johannesburg Hospital, worked at Hillbrow Hospital, worked at Helen Joseph Hospital, not so much at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, I have worked at Rahima Moosa Hospital. I know the environment. I didn't just become a manager. And I've worked at the clinics, too. I've done medico-legal services. What else can I say I haven't done?", says Dr Xundu, in response to the attacks.Dr Xundu says she came into the job of head of health of Gauteng at a time when the system was facing a major financial management crisis. With her departure ironically leaving another management vacuum, she says she is comfortable to leave at a time when Gauteng has made several senior critical appointments to the health department, including hiring a new Chief Financial Officer. "Largely, it was within the finance branch and the financial management unit where we had huge problems. So, when we got the CFO (Chief Financial Officer), when we got the health economist… We got also a head for infrastructure management. I felt comfortable. But I had a lengthy discussion with the MEC as well. The MEC understands the detail of the broader challenges and I'm convinced that with the help of the HoD that will be coming, things should be moving", she says.Provincial Health MEC, Hope Papo, would not be drawn on who will be appointed to be the acting head of health nor on whether the position will be advertised to appoint a permanent candidate. "We'll decide soon whether we're going to advertise or not advertise. That's the issue we'll have to weigh. We have to follow processes. If we'll advertise, obviously, we'll try and speed up the process because you don't just get health HoDs all over the show, generally. So, you are not going to have floods of applications for the position, nogal (in) Gauteng. It's a very, very difficult province to actually lead. We'll take that decision by the end of the month. It's part of the issue of even deciding who is going to be the Acting HoD", he says. According to the DA's spokesperson on health, Jack Bloom, advertising for the position is crucial. "This time they must get it right. We have to have proper advertising. It must not be a political appointment. We have to have someone who can do the job right… appointed on the basis of merit and I just hope that the department plays open cards with everyone, informs the health committee of the Gauteng Legislature. We're an oversight committee. I think we should know about these things, as should the public", says Bloom. Dr Nomonde Xundu is the third Gauteng head of health to leave the position in as many years. Sybil Ngcobo left in 2010 and is now under investigation for corruption. Dr Kamy Chetty left last year under reasons that are still not clear.
Health-e is a news agency that produces news and in-depth analysis for the print and electronic media.

Hypoxic Blackout and Hyperventilation
Learn more about the dangers of Hypoxic Blackout and Hyperventilation
Hypoxic Blackout is the severe reduction of oxygen to the body. Hypoxic Blackout dramatically affects brain function, leading to unconsciousness, be followed by brain damage then death.
When someone holds their breath, the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) levels in their bloodstream rise and oxygen levels decrease. This causes the urge to take breathe in new oxygen and expel CO2. If this doesn't happen, Hypoxic Blackout occurs.
Hypoxic Blackout incidents have been recorded in m any aquatic activities including free diving, underwater hockey, swimming training and scuba diving.
Hyperventilation occurs when a person takes quick, deep breaths to reduce the CO2 in the blood. This action does not increase oxygen levels. With low CO2 and low oxygen levels, the body has little breathing stimulus, which may lead to unconsciousness.
Royal Life Saving does not recommend hyperventilation or underwater breath holding activities.

Breath-holding Blackout
Royal Life Saving has recently supported a campaign by the Divers Alert Network (DAN) to raise awareness of the risk of breath-hold blackout in breath-hold diving and surface snorkelling. The breath-holding blackout campaign was created to reinforce the message that breath-holding blackout remains responsible for on-going deaths in both the experienced and inexperienced and needs to be taken seriously.

Researcher's strong signal on cell phone risk (Q&A)
Throughout my seven years of reviewing cell phones and covering the wireless industry for CNET, the issue of a possible link between cell phones and brain cancer has surfaced every few months. And as my colleague Marguerite Reardon explains in her comprehensive feature, the debate isn't going away anytime soon. Indeed, research abounds on the subject, and there are plenty of voices on both sides. Some say there's nothing to worry about, and others recommend proceeding with care.
One voice on the cautionary side is Dr. Devra Davis, the author of the 2010 book "Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide it and How to Protect Your Family." An epidemiologist and environmental health researcher, Davis is a founding director of the toxicology and environmental studies board of the National Academy of Sciences and founder of the Environmental Health Trust. Davis argues that cell phone use can have very real effects on health, and that cancer is only part of the story.
A few months ago, I interviewed Dr. Davis after reading her book. Though I can tell you a lot about cell phones, I'm not a scientist, and frankly, I wasn't very good at science in school. Yet, I approached the subject with a genuine curiosity, and I was glad to see that Davis breaks down her arguments in a manner that's easy to follow. The material is accessible and digestible, even if it's a bit scattered in places. And though the book's title is over the top, Davis takes a more measured tone inside. She's no alarmist, but she forcefully advocates that more research is needed. And while she does use a cell phone regularly, she also suggests that cell phone users take small steps to reduce radio frequency (RF) energy.
Q: What is the one thing that you want readers to take away from your book? Davis: If we fail to pay attention to experimental evidence, we're treating people as subjects in an experiment with no controls. And if we say that we'll accept that cell phone radiation is harmful only when we have enough sick or dead people, then we're dooming three generations to illness.
The chapter that I think is most important is the one that discusses the effects on male reproductive health. A phone in a pocket may be linked to lower sperm count. This is not a confirmed association, but I've talked to several urologists who have begun to advise men that they should not keep the phone in their pocket if they're concerned about libido or impotence. That's not to say that they're the cause of impotence; like everything else in health, it's multifactorial and there can be multiple explanations.
How did you first become interested in this issue? Davis: About six years ago my grandson was born. I saw the incredible enthusiasm he had toward a cell phone, and I began to wonder about its safety. Later, I worked for Dr. Ronald Herbermann at the Center for Environmental Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh. I was stunned by what I found. … Read more
