I'd have gone to the end of the Bajoran Wormhole.
Tis' closer.
and I would have made the Borg much more sinister. Just like evil in space, every time Voyager ran into them there would be hell to pay.
Personally, what I would have done with VOYwas lose the whole "lost in space" idea. Space is big enough that it really wasn't necessary to strand the ship 70-75 years from home. The ship could have been on a deep-space mission at the farthest edge of Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant when the series started--close enough that they would still be in communications contact with the Federation, but too far away to return home to be of any timely help during the Dominion War.
Rather than the Maquis, I would have a few Federation colonists join the Voyager crew after an initial crisis thinned the ship's ranks in the pilot. The biggest problem many of these new recruits would have is their unfamiliarity with "the Starfleet way" as many grew up on frontier worlds that more closely resembled the 20th-Century than the 24th-Century.
The Klingons and the Gorn would each have a settlement near this distant part of the Federation frontier, but the main villain would be a new adversary that uses a never before encountered organic-based technology to counter (if not defeat) most of the Voyager's Federation tech...
Free your mind, and the rest will follow.
--En Vogue
The ship was basically perfect every week.
I agree with one post which was the reset button. Where were the solar sails to generate power (STIV)?
Where were the alliances with Alien races to help (apart from one off episodes)?
Why did everything have to be "Fixed" with an epiode or two (year of hell or scorpien as examples)
Why not have Janeway in Sick bay for half a season and see how command changes or effected by the two crews?
Course Heading Sir; Second star to the right... and straight on till morning
Voyager should have made Year of Hell a season long arc. The way the Equinox was when they found that is a much more realistic notion of what should have happened to voyager over the years as well getting steadily damaged and making hard choices and morally amiguous decisions.
Guess it was all under the curse of syndicated television, can never have any major changes to the status quo that would confuse the casual audiance.
The whole Marquis storyline was always so watered down, there was potential for some really good conflict between the 2 crews that was never properly explored... closest I thought to being like that was Worst Case Scenario and that was a flippin holodeck episode.
I don't think the Borg got overused, they just became kittens and practically got bullied by Voyager, when Janeway, Tores and Tuvok got assimilated in Unimatrix Zero I remember being so annoyed as it was so 'all in a days work', basically it secured the Borgs transition from scariest strongest threat to the Federation to being on the same level as the Cardassians and Klingons.
Well, the main issue was that Voyager's crew's mixed pasts and the realities of living out in the middle of phuck all nowhere were not addressed enough nor made interesting.
It's a shame Ron Moore left the show
it's only my opinion but...
I'd leave it alone. It was a great series along with Enterprise.
The next TV Series should be called STARFLEET!
While Ron Moore wrote some terrific scripts and a literal season-spanning Year of Hell story arc might have been nice, Moore never had Roddenberry's imaginative vision that the future might be significantly different from our present.
Dark and gritty Trek is fine as long as it is done like in Drumhead or In the Pale Moonlight, to show how fragile this bright future can be, but doing it just for its own sake Ã* la Moore is not what Trek is about.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
I agree with you, but I think the writing team was a lot worse off without him. And let's face it; if any Trek pre-Enterprise should have been gritty, it was Voyager.
* Catastrophic anomaly accident
* Lost with limited energy and provisions
* Some of the crew comprised of criminals (!)
If anything was to strain Gene's bright, cooperative future it was Voyager's setup, and they barely touched on any of those issues. Instead we got fscking Space Nazis (again) and the superpowerful alien quadrant overlords of the week.
I understand Voyager was basically to throw a bone to UPN when it was getting started, right? And since it was a show for network TV, the episodes had to be fairly self-contained to allow for running them in any order in syndication.
That said, by the end of DS9 that was basically thrown to the wind and people loved it. Voyager just got lazy.
It was also a travesty how the neutered the Borg.
I agree that the Borg had been neutered like they had Bob Barker running the show. In an attempt to get a recurring threat they gave us the Hirogen (weak) and species 8472. 8472 was interesting because they really started off nasty but then Bob Barker got to them as well.
That being said, there were some truly exceptional episodes and as a time traveler I would point them out as examples on how to do things right. Mentioned earlier was the 2 part episode Equinox. It worked great as a what if ethical decision type episode. There was also the first episode that introduced species 8472. A very dark enemy that showed so much promise to be a real threat only to be ruined in later episodes. Year of hell also held so much promise and while it was good they could have and should have made a complete season of it. Missed opportunity. My exceptional episodes are more personal in scope for the crew or individuals. 1st would be the episode where the doc's memories were being erased only to discover it was the captain because he was having an ethical crisis that almost destroyed him. Excellent episode and I would have loved to see more like that. 2nd was again an ethical one involving the doctor and dealing with family and death. The 3rd is because of the interesting concept and choice of actors. David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane from Frasier) playing a 24th century Borg. Not only touching but like the previous 2, very well acted.
Give us more like these. They are lost in the Delta Quadrant. Not every episode will have a happy ending. Like City on the Edge of Forever, not all great science fiction has to be all happy at the end. The ones that stay with us are the ones that affect us on a personal level. Farscape did that as well including were Chrichton messes up the past and ends up getting the women of the monastery killed. Many episodes of Voyager did not do that. I always felt that Voyager for the most part was playing it safe.

Photo: Meth Found in Border Inspection
U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Interstate 15 checkpoint prevented a narcotics smuggling attempt yesterday resulting in the seizure of 56 pounds of methamphetamine.
At approximately 3:45 p.m., agents encountered the 56-year-old male Mexican national driver of a blue 1999 Mercury Cougar as he arrived to the checkpoint. During inspection, agents became suspicious of the man's nervous demeanor and referred him for a secondary inspection.
A Border Patrol K-9 team performed a cursory inspection of the vehicle resulting in a positive alert to the vehicle's interior. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered 24 bundles of methamphetamine concealed inside of the natural voids within the rear quarter panels behind both the driver's and passenger's seats.
The methamphetamine weighed a total of 56 pounds and had an estimated street value of $1,120,000. The suspected smuggler and narcotics were taken into custody and subsequently turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Fact-checking "Wizard of Oz" ad that casts Nancy Pelosi as Wicked Witch of the West
By Robert Farley
Published on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 at 12:06 p.m.
Seeking to raise his profile with an attention-grabbing Internet video, Republican John Dennis joined Dale Peterson and Rick Barber in this season's Pantheon of Viral Campaign Ads.
In his Wizard of Oz-themed ad, Dennis casts his opponent, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the Wicked Witch of the West.
"I will save you from those evil Republicans," the Pelosi character cackles. "But first, pay $18,000 a month for my downtown office."
There's a lot to take in -- like the Pelosi character summoning her flying "IRS" moneys, before Dennis steps in and pours a bucket of water (labeled "freedom") on the witch, melting her.
With a half-million hits after just a few days online, Dennis appears to have gotten the attention he hoped for.
We decided to weigh in with a fact-check on that claim taxpayers pay $18,000 a month for Pelosi's district office in downtown San Francisco. Public records show the rent for Pelosi's new district office is, in fact, $18,736 a month -- nearly twice as much as the next-highest rental paid by a member of the House. House members get an allowance to run their offices and pay their staff, which they can allocate as they see fit, and Pelosi did not exceed her allowance. But the ad is right about the stiff rent for her district office, and so we rated the claim True.

Hi. I am developing an app for Nokia Asha 501 using LWUIT. I have set Form.setBackCommand(back), but pressing the physical back key still gives me the exit pop up. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Hi. I am developing an app for Nokia Asha 501 using LWUIT. I have set Form.setBackCommand(back), but pressing the physical back key still gives me the exit pop up. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Did you also set the form command listener?
is your Form full screen mode or not? if ur using full screen mode then switch to not full screen mode.
Yes, I have set the form command listener. I have tried in both the full screen and non full screen modes, the exit pop up still shows.
Are you using the new Asha SDK and the LWUIT library that came with it?
I have also this problem. I have a LWUIT-App that was working with Symbian, including the commands.
So the command handling should work.
I switched to ASHA-SDK-LWUIT-Lib.
Now I added the setBackCommand() method. But the back-key still want to close the app.
The setBackCommand() works when I use the Asha 1.0 SDK and its LWUIT library.
It worked after I removed my old code:
or add instead:Code:Display.getInstance().setCommandBehavior(Display.COMMAND_BEHAVIOR_TOUCH_MENU);
Karsten Meier
I had developed apps for Asha 501 device.I had implemented all the basic code for the hardware back button functionality.The application is running fine on my sdk and handset i.e the back button works as a back throughout the application except on landing page.
but when we upload the build, every time we are getting the same following response from QA:
"ACTUAL RESULT: The Back button works only as exit when trying to return to the previous screen".
Also,we had also some live apps on ovi store for Asha 501 device with the same basic code but now suddenly you guys start rejecting the apps with above mentioned error.Please suggest how to fix this issue.
Thanks and Regards:
Sheenam Goyal | Software Developer
TPF Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Noida.
Check your app in a real device.Try RDA if you donot have a device.
If you are absolutly sure that the app is fine, then drop a mail to email@example.com and inform them about this .
Thanks for your reply.
Now I had again tested the app on a real device.If we are pressing or tapping once the hardware back button, the app is moving to the back screen, but if we are pressing long the hardware back button,then it asks to close the app.
Can you please guide me how to fix this?

Hello sheenam,
I have also experience random QA behavior of Nokia QA. Just drop a mail to email@example.com and inform them below things.
1) App flow after pressing back key.
2) Attaching a video of app demo will really help you.
On request Nokia QA can check the app on priority and publish it at earliest if everything is in place.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A car and a packed church bus returning from an outing collided and plunged into a river in Indonesia's West Java province, killing at least 18 people and injuring more than a dozen others, police said Wednesday.
The bus, carrying about 60 people from a church in northern Jakarta, was returning from a trip to the hilly resort town of Puncak when its brakes apparently malfunctioned, said local traffic police chief Capt. Muhammad Chaniago.
He said the bus hit a small car and crashed through the wall of a roadside building before both vehicles fell up to 8 meters (26 feet) into the river in Cisarua.
At least 18 people were confirmed dead and 40 injured, said Budi Aksono of the local disaster management agency.
"We are still looking for two kids reportedly crossing the street when the accident happened," he added.
Local television footage showed images of both vehicles upside-down in the water. It was not immediately clear if the driver of the car survived.
Most of the dead were killed instantly, and those with injuries were rushed to two nearby hospitals, Chaniago said.
Road accidents are common in Indonesia due to poor safety standards and infrastructure.

Expect big changes in TN with GOP taking over
NASHVILLE - Despite past differences, the Legislature's Republicans now appear united to assure that last week's historic election victories translate into a wholesale shake-up of Tennessee's political power base.
The shift in control of the state House to Republicans and solidifying of the GOP's Senate strength also will open the door to multiple changes in state law, ranging from greater rights for gun owners to stronger restrictions on abortion.
There also may be ramifications on such policy matters as selection of judges and school superintendents, expansion of charter schools and damages awarded in lawsuits. More from Tom Humphrey.
I'm glad the GOP took control of the State House. I hope the changes they want to make, for instance, greater rights for gun owners, but especially stronger restrictions on abortion, which is truly a scourge on this nation, will be implemented. I just don't understand how Americans could have voted yes on this issue. They're just like the liberal, left-wing illuminati voters who have absolutely no regard for a child's life. And Obama's plan to sign the FOCA bill which permits abortion at nine months for the "health" of the mother is disgusting. What's next? Euthanasia for the elderly? Obama is planning to give them a similar option. And this is the "Christian" we wanted for President?
Left wing Illuminati? How about the Big Business owned Republican's lack of regard for an already born childs life? How about the Big Business owned Republican's support of mass murder for profits known as war? The depth of ignorance of the previous poster is chilling and why the red vs blue map is now blue for educated and prosperous areas and red for ignorant, uneducated poor areas.

WNCC hoping to offer Surgical Technologist course
In a move to accommodate a growing need for Surgical Technologists, WNCC hopes to offer a two year Associate Degree in Surgical Technology next fall. The primary responsibilities of the job include maintaining the sterile field, handling instruments, providing sterile items, anticipating the needs of the surgical team, and assisting the surgeon. On Wednesday, the Western Community College Area Board of Governors approved a motion to take the proposed program to the Coordinating Commission for Post-secondary Education for consideration.
WNCC President Todd Holcomb says there is a growing movement toward having a surgical technologist in the operating room. He says Regional West Medical Center contacted them asking if they could partner with the college to create such a program at WNCC.
Holcomb says the college worked with a consultant to create a curriculum that gives students the opportunity to have that certified Surgical Technologist position. He says they believe it will meet regional needs going into the future.
Holcomb says the program was created so that students can complete it in two years. Students in the program will hone their skills through clinical experience at several hospitals or regional medical centers within western Nebraska. Holcomb says that way they get hands on experience, working with surgeons and physicians to learn the skills they need to be successful.
The career track also provides a solid healthcare background which prepares the surgical technologist to pursue other careers of his or her choosing. Graduates of the course will sit for a national certification exam.
If the Coordinating Commission approves the program, the earliest WNCC could offer courses is fall of 2014.

It's obvious that to gain more customers on any given platform, one of the most important steps to take would be to localize your software into many languages: as many as possible, ideally. However, with independently developed apps, it tends to be difficult to localize into many different languages, due to not having the budget and / or time to do so. My question is if I were to localize my apps into languages other than English on the iOS App Store, which languages should I prioritize? (Maybe the top three or four most important.)
(Also, let's pretend this is a generic app that won't cater more to one language demographic than another.)

DALLAS — No other crimes have been more analyzed or scrutinized than what happened in Dallas a half-century ago.
"It's been picked apart for decades," said Farris Rookstool III, JFK historian and former FBI analyst, "but the tragedy of this is no one has ever taken the due diligence of time to really put these pieces together until now."
After five decades, Rookstool is sharing the strongest evidence yet that Lee Harvey Oswald murdered Dallas police Officer J.D. Tippit.
"The wallet puts him definitively at the scene of the crime," Rookstool said.
Oswald's wallet has been a persistent mystery in recent years — one Rookstool started studying. The mysterious billfold first appeared on WFAA in the afternoon of November 22, 1963.
WFAA program director Jay Watson, anchoring live coverage of the assassination, asked Channel 8 photographer Ron Reiland to join him on set and discuss film that Reiland just shot on the Oak Cliff street where Tippit was slain.
"Let's roll the film and we'll narrate it as we go," Watson said on air.
Reiland, describing each scene to Watson, presumed the wallet seen on the film belonged to Officer Tippit.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is Oswald's wallet," Rookstool said.
So, Rookstool set out to prove it.
He compared the Channel 8 black-and-white film to Oswald's actual wallet in the National Archives. On each of them, circular snaps are visible, along with metal strips and — perhaps the biggest similarity — a zipper over the cash compartment.
Oswald's wallet is a different color and has different characteristics than Tippit's.
This month, for the first time, Marie Tippit shared her late husband's wallet with WFAA. Tippit's is black, has a different style snap — no metal bar like Oswald's — and does not have a zipper over the cash compartment.
A half hour east of Birmingham, Alabama is the only man alive today who saw Oswald's wallet at Tippit's murder scene.
"As I walked up, I happened to not knowingly step in a puddle of blood, which was Tippit's blood," retired FBI Special Agent Bob Barrett recalled. "I thought, 'Oh God, what have I done?'"
He spent 27 years in the FBI and was asked to go to the Tippit murder scene that day by his friend, Dallas County Sheriff Bill Decker.
After arriving at 10th and Patton in North Oak Cliff, Barrett said, he recognized a Dallas police captain thumbing through a billfold.
"He said, 'Bob, you know all the crooks in town, all the hoodlums, etc. You ever heard of a Lee Harvey Oswald?' I said, 'No, I never have.' He said 'How about an Alec Hiddell?' I said, 'No. I never have heard of him either,'" Barrett explained. "Why would they be asking me questions about Oswald and Hiddell if it wasn't in that wallet?"
In addition, the first Dallas cop on the Tippit crime scene said he actually recovered the wallet.
Sgt. Kenneth Croy, a reserve officer at the time, put it in writing on an 8" x 10" picture for Rookstool.
"First on the scene, recovered Oswald's wallet there, too," Croy wrote on an image of Tippit's patrol car.
But officially, Dallas police told a different story. The department said it got Oswald's wallet from Oswald himself after his arrest a short time later at the Texas Theatre.
Barrett and Rookstool believe police made that up for the official report because too many officers handled the crucial piece of evidence at the shooting scene.
"They said they took the wallet out of his pocket in the car? That's so much hogwash," Barrett said. "That wallet was in [Captain] Westbrook's hand."
"Bob's in Alabama. Kenneth Croy is in Hamilton, Texas," Rookstool said. "They had no relationship with each other than the fate of history put them at the scene of a crime."
Rookstool says the testimony of Barrett and Croy, Tippit's billfold, and the WFAA film prove that Oswald's wallet was at the scene of the policeman's murder.
More than shell casings and eyewitness recollections, it is the first hard evidence placing Oswald there on that day.
It's significant in tying off a historical loose end and perfecting the record — fifty years later.

Wonderfully easy dressing for this salad! I did not officially rate it, because I did not follow the exact recipe - of course with the crew I was serving I had to omit all veggies except celery (which I left large enough for some to pick out). I used lowfat/fatfree mayo and dressing, no one knew, lots of compliments!

The Detroit Lions are one of the oldest and most storied franchises in NFL history. For the franchise's first four seasons the franchise was known as the Portsmouth Spartans, and the organization had early success. In 1932 the Spartans won the franchise's first championship. In the 1950s the Lions experienced a run of success, leading to back-to-back championships in 1952 and 1953. Another title in 1957 marked Detroit's third title in six years, but was also the last title the Lions would win. After the franchise's fourth title, the Lions fell into a deep playoff slump, making the post season just once between 1957 and 1982, and only three times before 1991. Led by star running back Barry Sanders, the Lions went on a long run of success in the 1990s. In Sanders' ten year career spanning from 1989 to 1998, the Lions made the playoffs five times, winning two division titles, though Detroit never got over the hump and won a conference championship. The Lions have retired the numbers of six players, including that of Barry Sanders. Find more information on our History of the Lions page. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Detroit Lions tickets.
The Lions brought in Reggie Bush this year to accompany the leagues best wideout, Calvin Johnson, and it appeared to be working until four straight losses ended the season and Schwartz's time as head coach. With a new coaching staff on the horizon Detroit should not be taken lightly in the upcoming season. Check back in the fall for a season preview of the 2014-15 Detroit Lions.
Check out our Detroit Lions Season Preview History page for previews of previous Lions seasons.
The Lions play their home games at Ford Field, located in Detroit, Michigan. With a capacity of 65 thousand screaming fans, Ford Field has played host to the Lions since 2002. In addition to state-of-the-art video monitors around the field, Ford Field boasts the best sightlines in the NFL for their fans due to the fact that the upper level is lower than is customary in NFL stadiums. The Detroit Lions home bench is on the Ford Field sideline with sections 102-110, so to be close to the team, look for Detroit Lions tickets in these sections. Ford Field parking information is covered in our Lions event guide.

As division foes since 1933 and with over 165 meetings, this historical rivalry is listed among the best of all-time in the NFL. These two teams have met every year since 1930 which is the longest-running annual series in the history of the NFL. With both teams combining for over 20 division titles, the stakes are usually at its highest when they meet and the intensity level is hard to match.
This rivalry between two historical franchises dates back to 1930 and is the longest continuously-running rivalry in the NFL as both teams have played twice a year since 1932. With many memorable games throughout the 80+ years, these two teams have established one of the best rivalries in the NFL and will only add to that in the years to come.
With many close games in the 100+ matchups, this rivalry continues to get better as both teams face each other twice a year. The NFC North has been nicknamed the "Black and Blue" division and this matchup lives up to that name as it is always one of the most intense and hard-hitting games in the NFL.
The Lions have been in the NFL for more than 80 years, but they are still searching for their first Super Bowl victory. However, they have won multiple NFL Championships as they were one of the more dominant franchises in the 1950s. The Lions helped set the foundation for the NFL to become the success that it is now.
Children two (2) years of age and under will be permitted to enter Ford Field for Detroit Lions home games without a ticket. They must be seated on a parent or guardian's lap and must not interfere with the sightlines and/or enjoyment of other fans.
Since Ford Field is right next door to the Tigers' Comerica Park, there are lots of parking lots available on game day. We suggest buying a parking pass before you go so you can get into the lots closer to the stadium.
Cheap Detroit Lions tickets can be found in many ways, but never guaranteed. TicketCity does offer the most competitive prices in the market, but there are many factors that determine ticket price. Depending on how the Lions are doing during the season, or sometimes just who they play against, the ticket prices can vary. For your best shot at cheap Detroit Lions tickets, check out the preseason games, which often sell for less than face value.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -Supporters of tougher gun control laws for Maine are asking the Legislature to take the first steps to provide background checks for private sales of firearms.
The bill would ask individual gun sellers to do what are termed "voluntary" background checks on buyers. But under the proposed law in L.D. 1240, if a seller does not do a check and the gun is later used in a crime, the seller would face a $500 civil fine. A second offense would make it a Class E misdemeanor. The bill would also make it a Class D crime to knowingly sell a gun to someone not allowed to own one.
The group "Coalition for a Safer Maine" said Wednesday that the background check law would help reduce cases of gun violence. Current law requires licensed gun dealers to do background checks on all sales, but there are thousands of individual, private sales each year in Maine that don't require a background check.
Gun right advocates say the proposed law is the first step to requiring universal background checks for all gun sales --that's something they don't want.
David Trahan of the Sportsmen's Alliance of Maine says the law would impose too much of a burden on gun sellers, and that the threat of a fine contradicts the idea of the background checks being voluntary.
The bill is expected to come up for a vote in the House by the end of this week, and its fate in the Legislature isn't clear. Lawmakers have so far been unwilling to pass other gun control bills, including one to require background checks at gun shows.

it soon began receiving information regarding Mcelya's whereabouts and
additional information alleging he was involved in illegal drug

Town Square
Keeping the FORUM lively!
Original post made by Hal Bailey on Nov 11, 2008
Many voters throughout and beyond our region, as readers of your on-line and print paper, have been searching for subjects for FORUM discussion. Danielle, an Iron Horse neighbor in south Danville, suggested that community, infrastructure, economic development and environmental usage are still key subjects. She further suggested that economic development is critical to our region as we slide downward into the nation's recession.
That sparked Iron Horse corridor neighbors from Sunol to Concord to agree with gusto! "What will holiday shopping be for our region?" "How will our major employers cope with employment?" What about city budgets and shortfalls in revenue?" "How do we re-invent our economy after the housing bubble burst?"
The reality is subjects are personal concerns among a majority and many very savvy neighbors have real ideas to move us forward. "We are just between Lawrence Berkeley Labs and Livermore National Laboratories so we have the technology to grow a new economy."
You are an exceptional journalist trying to lead a struggling publisher into media dominance and revenue, right? There is no one better. Tell the story and feature the future advertisers in stories that will build our tomorrow.
Houses are homes and our technology/commercial development is our real future.
I applaud you,
on Nov 11, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Hi Editor,
Hal said, "That sparked Iron Horse corridor
neighbors from Sunol to Concord to agree with gusto!"
Who, may I ask, is Gusto?
on Nov 12, 2008 at 11:04 am
Dear Tive and Dolores,
Here is Sunol, Gusto is a human reaction that illustrates a zest for life and all things lively. We take our considerations seriously and celebrate opinions by all. It is Gusto that makes us human.
To ask "Who is Gusto?" is to answer your own question because if unknown it likely cannot be explained. WE who have Gusto wish to share it. It is learned through enthusiasm and sharing of life and thoughts. It is lost by any restriction of consideration.
As I see it, Alamo has Gusto in its lively discussions among its neighborhoods. Ask a neighbor, Tive, and you will likely hear "I am Gusto!"
Are you Gusto?
on Nov 12, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Hi editor,
Ooops. Sorry for the malapropism. I was thinking of "Gus Goose", the Disney character. I got confused with "Gusto", a zest for life.
BTW, "Zest" is a soap and "Life" is a cereal.

WaPo's Charles Lane: Gas Prices 'Are Not the President's Fault'
By Noel Sheppard | February 23, 2012 | 20:36
On Thursday, Media Research Center President and publisher of NewsBusters Brent Bozell told Fox News's Neil Cavuto that gas prices will keep climbing and the media will continue downplaying it to help President Obama get reelected.
Proving his point just a few hours later on Fox News's Special Report was Charles Lane, the editorial writer for the Washington Post, who actually said, "Gas prices, I'm sorry folks, are not the President's fault, and he is right about that" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES LANE: Well it's never good to be an incumbent politician of any kind while gas prices are going up because you get blamed for just being there when it happens. There is even some empirical evidence that it could cost you a state or two if you're running for president while gas prices are going up. But don't worry because I bet you by November gas prices will actually be on their way down. This kind of a spike occurs almost every year at this time.
BRET BAIER, HOST: Unless Israel attacks Iran.
LANE: Well, sure, but that won't be Obama's fault, and everybody will understand that that will be a situation. Gas prices tend to go up in the spring and then, you know, the market works and they're back down by the fall. We've been through this year in and year out. Gas prices, I'm sorry folks, are not the President's fault, and he is right about that. Unfortunately because it is a political issue, he's got to come out and give this kind of unconvincing speech that he did today.
Can you imagine an editorial writer for the Post saying gas prices are not the President's fault in an election year if the White House resident were a Republican?
As Bozell told Cavuto a few hours earlier, "The prices are going to continue to escalate and the media are gonna continue to downplay it. This is the kind of story they don't want to cover. It goes against the narrative of the 2012 election and they're gonna do everything they can to get this guy elected. Period."
Associate Editor's note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.

#3 Unfortunately for the obama
Submitted by robert108 on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 9:32pm.
Unfortunately for the obama lovers, it's all his fault. In August, 2008, President Bush rescinded the Presidential drilling ban, and the price started to drop; a few months later, the Dems, fearing the election, failed to renew the Congressional drilling ban. As a result of the US re-entering the world oil market on the supply side, oil dropped from $147/barrel to just over $33/barrel in December, 2008. obama inherited that oil price and gasoline at $1.80/gallon. He promptly re-instituted the Presidential drilling ban, as did the Pelosi/Reid Congress with their ban. As a result, prices have climbed steadily since then.

Obama is running around the country telling folks he had increased domestic production. When in-fact privet lease production is up 40% like up in the Dakotas, and Gov leases are down 40%. Not to mention the oil moratorium he put into effect in the Gulf, even ignoring a court order.
The guy has destroyed the energy production in this country, meanwhile he spends billions on alternative energy, and even subsidized they fail and file chapter 11. Not to mention investing in oil production is other countries

#10 Actually, it's all their fault.
Submitted by JohnMcGrew on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 10:54am.
The real reason oil & gas prices are high is because of inflation; the inevitable result of the cheap money policy of the fed and a spendthrift Congress. We've effectively printed trillions of dollars in the name of "quantitative easing" and "stimulus" without a corresponding increase in national output. That cheapens the dollar, which how buys less oil. Drilling has relatively little to do with it.

They usually spike when the switch is made to "summer blend", and that switch is usually made in late April or early May. If you'd watch, and pay attention, that point was made earlier this week, but then, it wasn't an Owebowma apologist who made the statement, so I doubt you paid attention.
And, just why is a "summer blend" needed, anyway?
And, NB should have continued the video. Krauthammer did a masterful job of smacking Owebowma's statement, and pointing out the idiocy of now depending on algae, for energy. Yeah, don't drill, we'll just grow algae and drain the liquid into our gas tanks.

Fox News' Eric Bolling, a former gasoline distributor, explained that the gasoline we receive is already refined and ready to go into our tanks. It's the blending mandated by the EPA, dozens of types (dependent upon US environ and season), which is the extra added cost.
Bolling says that if the blending process is abandoned, gas prices should immediately drop.
He discussed it with Fox News' Greta van Susteren here:

Yeah, I've also read that Little Boy Blue likes Howlin' Wolf..................I heard him say that he had Wolf on his Ipod - about 4-5 months before he gave some speech at some college and claimed that he didn't know how to use any of that new-fangled technical stuff - remember that??
But anyway, I know a little bit about Chester Burnette - aka Howlin' Wolf - and he was a hardline guy who believed in work, responsibility, accountability, and earning your keep. And he was a big, intimidating guy too. I'd be willing to bet that he'd probably lay it on the line to a guy like Obama - automatic!!! And Wolf came from the cotton fields and the subsistance farms and the hard working ethic, plus he had been in the Army, and he was a product of the REAL 'black American experience'...............which is the polar opposite of Litte Boy Blue.

Pain in the Gas: Volatile Gasoline Prices Wreak Havoc on Household Finances
By Amanda Logan, Christian E. Weller | May 23, 2007
And with gas prices up 91% since Obama took office (and climbing ever higher), this scary and horrific rise in gas prices, according to the Center for American Progress' thought process, should have us all huddled in rags around a 55 gallon drum stuffed with refuse from which we receive our heat, eyeing the person beside us with a cannibalistic glaze in our eyes.
The hobbled Progressive brain can fan the flames of unbridled mass hysteria when a Republican is in charge, but, since it's Obama, they've decided to keep quiet or blame Bush... again.

Who, Mr. Lane, could possibly blame the president for high gasoline prices?
"With gas prices at a record high, Democrats Tuesday poured fuel on the debate over the soaring prices, accusing the Bush administration of failing to stabilize the market ahead of the summer vacation season." (CNN, April, 2004)
"Consumer gasoline prices continue to soar as the Bush administration places too much emphasis on drilling reserves and not enough on alternative fuels, Democrats said Saturday." (USAToday, April, 2006)
"The price of oil is...attributed to two oil men in the White House and their protectors in the United States Senate," Pelosi said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. (CNN, July, 2008)
"Gas prices, I'm sorry folks, are not the President's fault." (Washington Post, Feb, 2012)

That seems to be the Obama Pee-stream lapdog media's talking points today. Even David Shyster came out of his rat's hole and said this. Uh, as much as I couldn't stand Bush during his 2nd term, atleast we weren't downgraded in the S&P and gas was around $2.65/gallon. This administration makes both the Carter Administration AND the Hoover administration look like the most brilliant people to ever run this country.
PS - Bush hasn't been in office since January 2009. Time for a new playbook.

Even with gasoline at $5/gal, it still is a minor expense for me in comparison to other things. Even at $5/gal, I still only will spend about $2500/year for gasoline. My federal income and self-employment taxes are over $30,000/year.

#44 So what's your point Mr. Buffett?
Submitted by Rush Fan on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 1:29am.
For those who are unemployed, for those who are working paycheck to paycheck, for those who are in retirement, even $4.00 gas can be a hardship. Please keep in mind that it's not just the direct price of gas that impacts all of us. Everything that relies on transportation, from food to clothing to energy can have a serious hardship on many of us.
But I can understand why someone as self-absorbed as you would not be concerned with the impact of higher gas prices on others.
By the way, the serious hardship link is to a ABC News story titled: Poll: High Gas, Food Prices A Serious Hardship. It's not dated, but appears to have been written during the George W. Bush administration, when gas averaged $1.81 a gallon. Something tells me that the serious hardship that ABC reported then, is not so serious now that Obama is in office.

#45 businesses
Submitted by jon_torlin on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 1:40am.
I know a couple of shop owners and restaurant managers here in town that have managed to weather the high costs of gas affecting their businesses so far but are real worried especially with the jump in the last few days with no end in sight. They've already seen a drop in patronage to their stores as it was.
Some of them have been talking among themselves about closing down for a few days because the overhead/operating costs(especially electricity alone) is getting to be more than their income and some of them are already in the red as it is.
One guy I know made the HUGE mistake of trying to open a small restaurant, fairly inexpensive, was pretty decent food(and I objected vociferously and cajoled him into waiting in doing this and watch what's going on with the financials, but he refused, and guess what, he's a huge Obeyme fan) a few weeks ago and now he's got to close down because the local bank won't lend him anymore money, even talking about bankruptcy and he's going to lose a lot in the end anyway. Stupid idiot. He really believed that line about the economy getting better and said he was proof of that. I don't know what's going to happen to him at this point but he's the one that made the bad decision, he's the one that's got to live in the hole that he dug for himself.

The media is fond of calling Reagan the "Teflon President" because supposedly no crisis ever stuck to him. I almost want to suggest that the nickname suits Obama better, but Teflon doesn't work unless something actually gets on it to begin with. The first crisis those paid cheerleaders attribute to being Obama's fault will be the first. So rather than the Teflon President, maybe we should call him the Forcefield President. Of course, I'm open to suggestions if someone can thing of anything snappier.

text: We began our journey about a half mile west of the overlook on the main highway in Rocky Mountain National Park. About five of us were dropped off on the side of the road. From there we descended down about 3,000 ft or more down the mountain so steep the bottom of your pack rubbed the ground as you went. Our destination... Somewhere on the little Thompson River. Going down was a combination of sliding and scrambling. I will say that it didn't take very long to get to the bottom, glad we survived. Once we were there we enjoyed a dense forest with wildlife that didn't seem to worried about humans. We spent most all of our time fishing, which turned out great, but the martins, little ferret type creatures seemed to steal everything you landed. That was kind of fun in itself. There really wasn't much scenery to be had as this is deep in a canyon. It was great for what it was. The climb out was torturous. You were mostly using all fours to get out. I don't remember how long it took, but I remember it was a very long time. At one point it started to thunder and lightning, which was scary. The thunder scared a herd of elk down from above. They thundered there way down just a few yards from us. It just so happened that were we came up was the overlook itself. First thing we did was kiss the ground, thankful to be done hiking. Boy I'll tell ya... People were really interested in these people (us) that were climbing out of the canyon. Some folks shot pictures of us, others asked question, but everyone was in amazement. All-in-all, this was a very tough , but rewarding trip I will never forget.

Things That Freak Her Out In Bed
The 4 Things You Should Stop Doing In Bed
When you go to bed with an new and unfamiliar woman, there are a few big "hell no-nos" you should keep in mind so things don't get off to a confusing start.
We don't necessarily want to think of you as our "daddy."Women who are into the whole "daddy" thing are bizarrely over-represented on film. Pro tip: Most of us aren't feelin' it. I was had to deal with an episode of "daddy talk" during one particularly romantic evening. After a night of partying, a gentleman and I humped (oh, excuse me, "made love") on his disgusting bathroom floor. After 30 seconds of half-baked sex he decided this was the moment to bust out some full-on Freudian language. If I had a penis, my boner would have shriveled up inside of me like a grape in the sunshine. Never, ever, ever, do I want to think of the man who gave me half of my DNA while I'm having sex. I know a lot of women — a lot of freaky women — who are into everything Dr. Laura would frown upon, but none of them are down with the daddy talk.
Remember that sexy time you fell asleep right after finishing?Every once and a while some "scientific study" comes out explaining to women why we are bound to be the weaker sex forever. We love studies like these, they're awesome. Just kidding!
In the Journal of Social, Evolutionary and Cultural Psychology one "study" found that men may fall asleep first to avoid commitment conversations out of the fear of a woman's superior verbal abilities. "If men actively avoid commitment promises in post-coital conversation, this could increase the likelihood of women ending the relationship... Hastening sleep onset may evade this adverse effect," wrote the researchers. I'd slap you, "science," but you may mistake this for a high-five. Look, whether you are gay, straight, male, female, or Jamie Lee Curtis, passing out after your orgasm without tending to your partner is selfish and undignified. She may act like she's OK with it, but chances are she is definitely not. Sex is give and take, back and forth. You should enjoy giving pleasure as much as you enjoy receiving and if you don't, then you need to evaluate how much you really even really like the person you're getting naked next to.

Pn the flip side, contrary to the many claims you will hear, right now in the Canon lineup a 36x24 sensor is also not more useful for landscape photography UNLESS you own and use the T/S wide angle lenses. You will hear all day long how FF offers better image quality at low ISO. It does not, and you can demonstrate this all day long by presenting unlabeled large prints from both (or pixel crops online) and watch while FF fans stumble trying to guess which is which. They never can.
Who is 'they'? Here's what I can tell you. I took a series of paired, identically framed shots shots with the 7D and 1D X, using either the 24-105L or the 70-200/2.8L IS II, using the zoom to compensate for the effect sensor size on FoV (meaning same distance, so same framing and same perspective for each pair). I shot about a dozen paired images like that, some landscapes, some architecture, and a couple of close-up flower/plant shots with the 24-105. I processed them equivalently, then showed the paired images to my wife, scaled down to 3.7 MP (full screen on an Apple Thunderbolt Display), and asked her which she liked better. For 11 of the 12 shots, she picked the 1D X image. Subjective and completely anecdotal? Yes. But subjectively and anecdotally, at least, the 'FF mystique' is real.
And neuro strikes again. But this is why we all love him, because he runs the tests we are too lazy to do ourselves

Weird Macabre Wednesday, June 12th, 2013Submitted by James Rogers on Wed, 06/12/2013 - 5:20pm
Weird Macabre Wednesday brings you today's photo by clicking here. This is another Harry Rhoads photograph and it looks like a crime scene right out of the 1930s. For more details about this photo, click here. But be warned, the photograph is not for everyone! Mr. Rhoads took many photographs of murders and suicides, not the most appealing to most people, but it is a part of our photograph collections and the Digital Collections. For those of you that follow Weird Macabre Wednesday, should we present more from Denver's dark past?
