- Great Birthday DinnerCook811Dined on 8/25/2014Food was great, service was outstanding. The only issue were a set of parent allowing their toddler to scream all night.Special Features:
- Steak is great, but salmon is awfulDanvilledinerVIPDined on 8/24/2014One person in our party ordered steak and she said it was delicious. My husband and I ordered salmon and other items and they were awful. The salmon, spinach and potatoes were laden with oil.
- RushedPattiKDined on 8/23/2014We have dined at Forbes Mill several times and it is usually much better. On this occasion, dinner was good, not great. Service was very rushed, which was a disappointment given the amount of $$ we spent. I understand it was a Saturday night and they were eager to turn the table over. We hope this was an exception, otherwise our $$ would be better spent at Ruth's Chris.Special Features:
- Disappointing Birthday Outing for 2OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/20/2014We've dined at Forbes Mill a handful of times in the past. It's pricey but generally a good place for steaks and accompanying sauces. While our server was a sweet as she could be, once we were seated, we weren't approached for 10 minutes. After placing drink orders, they didn't arrive until our first course was served. We would have preferred the cocktails before the first course. Wine pours were sloppy (drips on glass base) and shrimp and skirt steak were tough (filet OK). While we were regaled with multiple desserts for the special occasion, we left disappointed. Maybe they were short staff? We won't be back for a long time. Esin, Piatti's and Bridges are better options in Danville.
- DisappointedFoodieVIPDined on 8/16/2014We have dined at Forbes Mill many times and generally we have had a wonderful experience. However, on our recent visit to celebrate a special family event we were very disappointed with the service we were provided and the quality of the food was not up to expectation, especially given the cost of the meal. Our server appeared to be not very experienced and was not attentive to our needs. He did not handle properly a premium bottle of wine we carried into the restaurant, was slow to react to our requests and when we finally got our dinner, one of the plates had to be returned since the dish was extremely overcooked. We hope this was an isolated experience as we would hate to take our family and friends elsewhere in the future.
- DeliciousbeetlejudeDined on 8/15/2014Steak was like butter melting in my mouth! The restaurant is a little on the loud side, but the food is great.Special Features:
- Very nice dinner with friendsDaraDimplesDined on 8/9/2014The food was so tasty and was nice and hot when coming to the table. The service was impeccable and the decor was lovely. The noise level was very high for this type of establishment which surprised me. All in all, the evening was very enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good local steakhouseStellaDined on 8/8/2014Only our second visit. Really empty for a Friday night. Not sure why. Almost nobody at the bar. Food was great. My husband's steak and my ahi tuna roll - all perfect. Server felt like she was trying to rush us. Which given that the place was 1/2 empty seemed totally inappropriate. But, I like that is a local restaurant.
- great place for a business lunchEricaDined on 8/8/2014forbes mill is always solid. the menu lacks creativity, but the food is always very good. i like to come here for business lunches because the food is good, the place isn't too loud, and it's got a nice, comfortable, but still somewhat fancy vibe.Special Features:
- The oyster is goodLeungVIPDined on 8/3/2014I like the fresh oyster very much. The lobster looks cute too. But I do not like the dessert. It is too hard and too sweet. The booth we are assigned is quite small, considering ladies usually have purse, jacket and scarf with them. Not much room to move or put down my stuffs when I sit down. And it is not cheap to eat here. The average expenditure per person including tips and tax could be more than $80.Special Features:
- Great dinnerTerrieDined on 8/2/2014The food and service were really wonderful. Our waiter was exceptional! We will definitely return.Special Features:
- Forbulousnll94002Dined on 7/30/2014Forbes didn't disappoint. While a little pricy - the quality of food was quite good. Service was good, but the acoustic ambiance was a little too much (of a good thing) "Energetic"- is the selection I made above but energetic doesn't allow casual conversation with your table-mates... Over all a good experience -Special Features:
- GoodeatinDined on 7/29/2014Our waiter was OUTSTANDING!! It was our anniversary and he made us feel so special. It was our first time at the restaurant - we now understand why everyone has told us we must go to Forbes Mill - and we will return often!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Forbes MillRitchieGDined on 7/27/2014This is the only place I know where you can get an excellent wet - aged prime up for under $40. The meat was tender and we'll seasoned and perfectly cioked. You will not walk away hungry!Special Features:
- A fine business dinnerdevryoctaneDined on 7/17/2014Would highly recommend. A bit pricey, but the steaks were out of this world. Everyone agreed in our group that the place was excellent all around. Staff was courteous and we had no trouble scoring seating any time before 6:30. Slowly got busier as we ate.Special Features:
- Always good.redmeatisgoodDined on 7/13/2014Went here with kids for a family night out and everyone had a good time. Food was excellent as always.Special Features:
- Certified Angus BeefBigCDined on 7/12/2014The 8 ounce prime filet mingion certified angus beef is amazing. This is the reason to visit this restaurant. The augratin style potatoes were aslo good, however the filet is the best in the bay area that I have ever had. I have had good steaks at other restaurants but for tenderness and flavor I can't remember ever having a better filet. The rest of the people in my group ordered the same thing and were also impressed and satisfied. For a special occassion this is a great pick. They do have a kids menu, however if you have young kids I would go more early to eat not too late, 5:00pm or 5:30pm works. Also with a corkage fee of $20 it was worth it to my group to bring a bottle we like from home instead of.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Spot In DanvillearcmblkDined on 7/11/2014Like the place for both dinner and lunch. The food is first quality and the service friendly.Special Features:

- Will ImpressOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 7/5/2014I believe bringing someone to Forbes Mill will be bound to leave a good impression. The ambiance is elegant but not stuffy, the staff is very attentive and well trained. And the food is really really good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LuvwineVIPDined on 6/26/2014Good food, great wine list. But, this is my last visit. The place is just extremely expensive. For about 1/3 to 1/2 less I can go elsewhere.
- Great steakhouse!LisaSDined on 6/26/2014We have dined here on several occasions - for business dinners with clients. Our clients appreciate this restaurant, as the food and service are always impeccable. The steaks are tasty and cooked to order and the sides and salads are wonderful. All around, a great place for business dinners, special occasions, date night, etc. This is not, however, a good place for little kids as the service is not rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't waste your money!enricoDined on 6/23/2014These people do not know how to prepare & serve delicious food for $$$ prices they demand. Don't waste your good appetite and money on this place.
- Never disappoints.meatloversDined on 6/20/2014We had the 32 oz Tomahawk chop & Kobe filet - crazy good! Super wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Meal!BruceDined on 6/14/2014I had a great meal at Forbes Mill Steakhouse! Really enjoyed the food and the service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/13/2014Location was the fifth star. Food mediocre, over priced. Service was outstanding. Would go back in a few months for lack of something better in direct vicinity.Special Features:
- MickeyDined on 6/13/2014The service was excellent and the food was great. Reservation was ready when arrived on time. The bar manager made sure that our drinks were to our liking and the service was quick. I would recommend Forbes Mills to anyone who enjoys a great steak house. My compliments to all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Swing, and a miss...DanvillecynicDined on 6/7/2014Third visit in two weeks...week days food better...saturday night visit with 4 guests...3 plates ok 1 steak raw ordered med....leaves a lot to be desired for 400.00 tab...they exist because nobody wants to drive to wc RuthChris's which never ever has an off night....I would recommend this to a friend.
- Collin our waiter was on top of it!Psalm56Dined on 6/6/2014Great service helps any meal enjoyable. Great service and great food is a great combination. I was told by many friends, "you will love it." They are correct. The only setback is for us who are on limited incomes, the menu is expensive. The prices do meet the service and food. I am not complaining about the prices because they are fair. So one may need to know Forbes Mill is for special occasions. The restaurant is NOT a two for twenty dollar type of restaurant! Again you will get your money's worth. The next time I have expendable income I will consider spending it at Forbes Mill!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent DinnerBS63Dined on 6/5/2014My wife and I dinner at Forb's Mill on a Thursday night. The restaurant was busy but not packed. It seemed to be very loud, and it was hard to hear each other. The had a good selection of wine and the food was excellent. I would recommend trying this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow, a bit of a letdownEastbaysteakloverDined on 6/1/2014After searching on the internet for steakhouses my wife and I and another couple dined at Forge Mill last Sunday night. We did have an early reservation and were seated immediately. It was not busy. Let's start with the pluses. The food was very good, not great and the portions were small to adequate. We didn't have any drinks or wine, three of the four people were non drinkers. Now, the negatives. The service was below par, the waitress messed up my order and despite being told numerous times that it was "ok" still insisted on bringing me the correct item which I did not eat. The food took too long and was a little cold by the time we were served. The prices were very high for what we had. I don't think I'll be back. Sorry.Special Features:
- Wife's B/DFoodie2UDined on 5/31/2014Made reservations for my wife's birthday, 3 of us including my son. All I can say is that it could'nt have been better! Great food, and our server Claudia was outstanding! Always making sure everything was just right. Not my first time there and surely not my last, in fact we'll be back for my B/D!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveningHappyfoodiesVIPDined on 5/30/2014We had a great evening. Awesome food and amazing service. Our waiter was super helpful, funny and great with the kids. We would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/29/2014Receptionist should direct us to the dinner table after we had coctails and appetizers at the bar. After asking her if a table was available and telling us yes it took another half hour before I went over to her and asked her if our table was ready. Mind you it was a Thursday and the dining tables were empty at about 6:00 pm besides a table with 3 guys in golf shirts. She knodded her head yes, and then I had to ask her if I was to go get my wife and bring her over as well. She needs to communicate a little bit better or we would of waited for hours at the bar to no attention.Special Features:
- A nice anniversaryJackiesmomDined on 5/28/2014We decided to try this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We had excellent service from the time we walked through the door. The food was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We had a wonderful evening and are looking forward to eating here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were searching for a restaurant to celebrate some little milestones in our lives recently and this was the perfect place! We loved absolutely everything we ate and could not have asked for better service! We will definitely be coming back here!Special Features:
- elizcaVIPDined on 5/8/2014The service was fine but she had too many tables. Busboys were great and attentive. Food was good but order was wrong. I couldn't get her attention in time to make a difference so lived with it.Special Features:

- My Favorite Steak HousesrenfroVIPDined on 5/3/2014This is buy far my favorite local steakhouse along 580/680 corridor. Great oysters and wine list as well. If you like Prime Rib, it's awesome but they tend to run out if you like to eat later in the evening.Special Features:

I don't think there's any difference in meaning-these two expressions are interchangeable. The only thing to remember is that you cannot say "tell" without any animated object following, so, the correct variant is "tell somebody". Whereas the verb "say" is more flexible-you can use it alone, but as soon as you decide to use an animated object, don't forget about the preposition "to"-say something to somebody.

Bring back Terracing!!!
As many people know, of late there has been a lot of debate/discussion around the return of Terracing at football. At Fir park Motherwell over the past few weeks, a small group of supporters have stuck together and protested against seating at football. These demonstrations have included standing for aslong as possible during the games and refusing to seat. This has forced Stewards and police officials to take action. They claim it is a matter of health and safety, if you ask me it is more of a risk celebrating a goal with seating in the way. At least in small parts of the ground Bring Back terracing. Hopefully this will be a step towards the return of the old days. If you agree sign the petition. Thank you!

I brought this phone for my wife.I tried to search other brands as well but could not get all these feature with any other reputed brand.Its really a good phone from Nokia with all features.This is the only phone from nokia with QWERTY KB, 3.2 MP camera and Wifi.

Have been using this phone since launch in India..
*1Ghz processor makes it really fast
*S40 5th edition which supports a lot of apps like whats app which were earlier used to install only on S60
*Suits for social network purpose(qwerty for easy typing, fb chat, other social media sites preloaded)
*Camera is not so good, despite 3.2 MP, it feels like 2MP.
*No flash
*RAM is much powerless as compared to processor.
overall I think its worth for money, plus Nokia delivers a sense of satisfaction which samsung can't.
It's a good phone to have in the pocket if priced at 3.5 to 4k.. AT 6.5k I can have a better android with capacitive touch screen experience buying galaxy y series. I AM A GREAT FAN OF NOKIA but S40 os on this device was not a great strategy when having 1 GHZ processor with 128 mb ram.. Don't u think so NOKIA?????
When i was purchased this product internet is working with wifi.
Since last 3 to 4 months i have problem in internet using wifi in this product which finally I resolved today..
Nice! (View complete review)
Not a smart phone. But battery backup is good and 3G and WI FI enabled. so fulfill all the things in this cost. Go for it. Not a bad deal. (View complete review)
One of the best phone. Display is good and the qwerty keypad is awesome. This gives a feeling of high end phone. Sound quality is also good. Plus I got this with an offer of 8gb micro sd card. What more do you need.
Thanks Flipkart!! (View complete review)
This is an excellant QWERTY phone from Nokia in the 6k range. Though it has got 3.2 MP camera but it's picture quality is very nice. It has got very good voice quality . Internal Memory is good and the 1 GHz processor makes the work really very fast. Truly it's good value.for money. (View complete review)
Can't switch off the damn internet. Absolutely useless, you have to delete/completely deactivate all applications if you have to switch off internet. Hope Nokia solves this problem fast. (View complete review)

Introducing The Algarve
Love it or hate it, the Algarve is Portugal's premier holiday destination, with pretty beaches, brash resorts and picturesque whitewashed towns that flood with foreigners when summer arrives. While the party atmosphere isn't for everyone, the setting is undeniably beautiful: breathtaking cliffs, wide golden sands, natural bays, scalloped beaches and long sandy islands with waves lapping at the shore. Outside the touristy enclaves, there are quiet castle towns, flower-covered hillsides and enchanting stretches of shoreline still untouched by development.
The towns themselves aren't as varied as the coastline, but still offer a wide range of personalities. Lagos, with its cobbled streets, young crowd and abundant nightlife, is the carnival queen of the Algarve. Monchique is a quaint town with fine views over the steep wooded countryside. Tavira, set along a peaceful river, remains elegant and laid-back, with a history dating back to the Romans. The capital of the region, Faro, has a more Portuguese feel than some, and a fascinating medieval quarter. Out on the rugged west coast, small, charming towns like Sagres and Carrapateira attract a surf-loving crowd, while cliffside Albufeira sees a wider mix of travellers.
If you're not keen on crowds and high-season prices, avoid coming from July to mid-September. This is when most Portuguese and other Europeans take their holidays: spring and autumn are lovely alternatives (though the water will be a bit nippy).

The victim, who is not named in the suit, was allegedly molested by former scoutmaster Thomas Hacker "on routine occasions," in 1985, according to the suit, filed Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court, the Sun-Timesis reporting. It also names the Chicago Area Council as a defendant.
Hacker, now 75, is serving a 100-year prison term for molesting a 14-year-old member of a Boy Scout troop he led at a parish in Burbank in the 1980s.
Hacker had been arrested in Indiana for sexual assault and battery of boys in 1970, only to later resurface in Illinois, according to the suit.
"This is an egregious case of our client being let down by the informal and ineffective system Scouting had in place to protect its members," Chris Hurley, the victim's attorney, said in a written statement.
"While BSA was promoting the wholesomeness of its programs, and its moral and safe environment, for decades it was secretly removing scoutmasters for child sexual abuse at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, once removed, many of them managed to sneak back in and continue victimizing boys."
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Absent a priestly predator is paedophilia a religion news story?
In comments posted in response to my 24 April 2013 story "Paedophilia and the Radical Left of '68″, Ira Rifkin questioned whether politics and paedophilia were properly within the ambit of GetReligion. Was I pushing too hard? Confusing the moral and ethical issues in the story I cited in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) — protests over public honors to a prominent politician who 30 years ago as one of the stars of the radical left wrote of his sexual encounters with children, which he now claims are fiction –with religion news?
Whatever his crimes and immoralities, Cohn-Bendit's actions are in no way comparable to those of the Roman Catholic Church. The 60s are long over; history has moved on. The media's faults, blind spots and assorted deficiencies are not always at their root worthy of GR's attention. Agreed: ain't no ghost here worth the commentary.
… The Cohn-Bendit story contains little if any grist for GR. As for Cohn-Bendit and the RC Church, it seems clear that the magnitude of the crimes Church leaders committed are far greater quantitatively, as well as qualitatively because of the Church's unique position as a global religious/moral authority. Cohn-Bendit has far less reach. Whatever his personal responsibility, it cannot be compared to that of the Church. Bash the 60s if you like, even it's values. But molestation – real or imagined – was not one of its identifiable hallmarks.
Some took issue with Mr. Rifkin's comments, seeing religious ghosts in the story exhumed by GetReligion. Others noted that Daniel Cohn-Bendit is a prominent politician – – a public figure whose stock in trade has been lecturing Europe on how it should adopt his moral worldview on the environment, economics, immigration, foreign affairs, and social issues such as gay marriage. My observations focused on the different treatment accorded Mr. Cohn-Bendit and the Catholic Church by the media on the issue of paedophilia. I argued:
The opprobrium held by right thinking people against paedophilia in Europe does not apply, however to revolutionaries and left wing politicians. A report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) on the fracas over the award of a prize to Daniel Cohn-Bendit suggests a double standard is being applied to paedophiles in Europe. Those who molest children out of lust are criminals and beyond the pale — those who molest children out of revolutionary fervor to bring down the capitalist regime really aren't so bad.
The paedophilia and the left story has now moved back into the public eye in Europe with articles in Stern, Deutsche Wella, Der Tagesspiegel and other news outlets on protestations by Green Party leaders that their movement had not provided political respectability for pedophile activists.
Der Spiegel reported:
He is a boy, roughly 10 years old, with a pretty face, full lips, a straight nose and shoulder-length hair. The wings of an angel protrude from his narrow back, and a penis is drawn with thin lines on the front of his body. The 1986 image was printed in the newsletter of the Green Party's national working group on "Gays, Pederasts and Transsexuals," abbreviated as "BAG SchwuP." It wasn't just sent to a few scattered party members, but was addressed to Green Party members of the German parliament, as well as the party's headquarters in Bonn.
Documents like this have become a problem for the Greens today. Some 33 years after the party was founded, it is now being haunted by a chapter in its history that many would have preferred to forget. No political group in Germany promoted the interests of men with pedophile tendencies as staunchly as the environmental party. For a period of time in the mid-1980s, it practically served as the parliamentary arm of the pedophile movement. A look at its archives reveals numerous traces of the pedophiles' flirtation with the Green Party. They appear in motions, party resolutions, memos and even reports by the party treasurer. That is because at times the party not only supported its now forgotten fellow campaigners politically, but also more tangibly, in the form of financial support.
The protests over Cohn-Bendit have led to an internal party investigation. the Guardian reported:
Germany's Green party is to launch an investigation into its active promotion in the 80s of paedophile groups who lobbied for the legalisation of sex with children. The party's leadership has said it will commission an independent researcher to investigate "for how long and to what extent" such groups had an influence. The party's chief whip, Jürgen Trittin, said the initiative aimed to take a close look at the "totally unacceptable demand" in the 80s that sex with children should be made legal. He admitted that the party had made wrong decisions about paedophilia.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Zimbabwe seems to have the best prostitute stories.
A Zimbabwean man, Brain Shumba (32) was critically injured on Monday when he had a chunk of his penis bitten off by a prostitute he had hired following a row over payment for services she had rendered.
Brain Shumba of Hoffman Street, Mambo suburb, is admitted at Gweru Provincial Hospital. Sources said Mr Shumba fell unconscious immediately after the head of his erect male organ was bitten off by the accused lady of the night.
They said he only regained consciousness some hours later after he was admitted at Gweru Provincial Hospital. Police confirmed the incident which occurred on Monday night and the subsequent arrest of the suspect, Wadzanai Marimo (34) of number 94/2 in Mtapa suburb.
Acting Police spokesperson for Midlands province, Assistant Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko could, however, not immediately give finer details of the matter. He said he was still to get the details from Mtapa Police Station where the assault case was reported.
"I can confirm the arrest of a 34-year-old woman from Mtapa who bit her boyfriend's male organ but we are still to get full details from the relevant station," he said. Sources within the police, however, said the two "lovebirds" were enjoying a drink at Mahari night club in Mambo suburb when they later decided to go to Marimo's lodgings.
"The two know each other very well and Shumba is a regular client of Wadzanai Marimo. On the fateful day, they spent the better part of the night drinking at Mahari night club in Mambo before they agreed to go and put up at Marimo's house," said the source.
The source said the two were later involved in a scuffle while at Marimo's place when Shumba allegedly declined to pay after having sex with the accused.
"Shumba told Wadzanai that he would pay her some other day. He argued that there was no point in her worrying over payment since he was a regular client," said the source. The source said this did not go down well with Marimo who then pretended to have understood Mr Shumba's position. But she later bit off the head of Mr Shumba's manhood before she bolted out of the room with the piece in her mouth.
"She is said to have spit the piece outside," said the source. The source said Mr Shumba fell unconscious and was rushed to Gweru Provincial Hospital where he regained consciousness some hours later.
"Mr Shumba is still admitted at Gweru Hospital and the accused is in police custody assisting the police in their investigations," said the source. Marimo was yesterday arraigned before Gweru magistrate, Ms Florence Nago, facing an assault charge.
She pleaded guilty to the charge and the case quickly proceeded to trial. Marimo was remanded in custody to await sentencing. The court was left in stitches when Mr Shumba, who had to be taken from his hospital bed to give evidence, told the court that he did not immediately react when he felt the initial pain and continued to also caress Marimo's privates.

Maddow Consistently Incapable of Distinguishing Few From Many
Rachel Maddow should never be put in charge of crowd control. Not until she learns to count.
Maddow is clearly flummoxed by what actually constitutes a crowd, as can be seen in her commentary on audiences at Republican presidential debates. (video after page break)
On her show Friday, for example, Maddow gamely tried to make the case that audience reactions at GOP debates have been unintentionally damning, starting with the response that followed Chris Wallace of Fox News putting a question to Ron Paul about drug legalization --
WALLACE: You say marijuana, cocaine, even heroin should be legal if states want to permit it.
PAUL: What you're inferring (sic) is, you know what, if we legalize heroin tomorrow, everybody's going to use heroin. How many people here would use heroin if it were legal? I put nobody would put the, oh yeah (sarcastically) I need the government to take care of me! I don't want to use heroin so I need these laws ... (enthusiastic applause and cheering from audience)
WALLACE: I never thought heroin would get applause here in South Carolina.
MADDOW: Me neither, Chris Wallace! It was such a strange moment, the crowd cheering the idea of legalizing heroin and Ron Paul's sort of ad libby caricature of a person who might want that. It was great.
Which is Maddow's hooked-on-irony way of saying it wasn't really great, rather it was "strange," which is Maddow code for bizarre. And she gets it wrong about Paul's"sort of ad libby caricature" -- it was not of a person who wants drugs legalized, but of someone who wants government to protect him from that. The heavy-handed sarcasm was apparently too subtle for Maddow to decipher.
Still, Maddow's take on this was at least partially accurate -- the audience, hardly devoid of Paul partisans, was reacting to him, much as they would had Paul begun lip-synching "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." More specifically, the audience was reacting to Paul's flattery that heroin need not be illegal to prevent them from ingesting it. Alcohol is legal, for example, yet those attending the debate somehow managed to do so without getting falling down drunk.
This was minor, however, compared to the deceit to come from Maddow. She then showed a clip from the NBC debate and Brian Williams pointing out to Texas Gov. Rick Perry that his state leads the nation in executions, followed by the audience clapping in response (and considerably more subdued than the reaction to Ron Paul on drug legalization) --
MADDOW: That was the NBC News debate at the Reagan Library earlier this month, cheering for executions, cheering that was loud enough to be remarked upon by the moderator. The cheering was ultimately praised as a patriotic response by the candidate who was asked the question about it.
It was at this point that Maddow attempted to conflate two examples of audience reaction at GOP debates with two more involving what can accurately be described as heckling --
MADDOW: The next time the crowd became a factor, though, in a Republican debate, it was a little bit harder to defend the crowd.
A clip was then shown of the CNN/Tea Party Express debate and Wolf Blitzer asking Ron Paul about a hypothetical, uninsured 30-year-old man facing a medical emergency --
BLITZER: A healthy, 30-year-old young man has a good job, makes a good living but decides, you know what, I'm not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance 'cause I'm healthy, I don't need it. But you know, something terrible happens, all of a sudden he needs it. Who's going to pay for it if he goes into a coma, for example? Who pays for that?
PAUL: My advice to him would have a major medical policy but not be forced ...
BLITZER: But he doesn't have that, hedoesn't have it and he needs, he needs intensive care for six months. Who pays?
PAUL: That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea (enthusiastic applause and cheers from audience) that you have to prepare and take care of everybody.
BLITZER: But congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die? (Catcalls of "yeah!" heard from audience)
MADDOW (mimicking catcalls): Yeah. Yeah. (while lifting her hands in mock enthusiasm) That was the CNN/Tea Party Express debate. I still can't really believe there was a CNN/Tea Party Express debate, but there was and those were members of the audience cheering the proposal that sick Americans should be left to die without receiving needed medical care if they are uninsured.
Notice how after Maddow showed the clip, she referred to "members of the audience" (and mimicked all of two of them). Yet before showing the clip, Maddow claimed it would be difficult to again defend "the crowd" at a GOP debate. Two or three hecklers in an audience numbering hundreds constitutes a "crowd"?
Maddow did this again on her show Sept. 23, this time in talking about videos submitted to Republican candidates for the Fox News/Google debate --
MEGYN KELLY: Sen. Santorum, this question stirred up a whole lot of controversy online and it comes from Stephen Hill, who is a soldier serving in Iraq.
HILL: In 2010 when I was deployed to Iraq I had to lie about who I was because I'm a gay soldier and I didn't want to lose my job. My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that's been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military. (scattered booing heard)
MADDOW (imitating boos): Boo. The Republican debate crowd booing the deployed American soldier in Iraq.
Two's company but three's definitely a crowd when it comes to Maddow's take on hecklers at a GOP debate.
This isn't the first time that ideology has rendered Maddow incapable of the observational capacity of a pre-schooler. Back on Sept. 13, right after the CNN/Tea Party Express debate, Maddow said this about reaction from "the audience" to Wolf Blitzer's question about the uninsured man --
MADDOW: If you watched the debate, it is of course your call as to who won this thing. But there's really no debate over who lost last night's debate. The clear loser of last night's Republican candidates' debate was a 30-year-old man who has a good job but who does not have health insurance. He is the clear loser of last night's debate for the stark reason that the audience at the debate wants him dead.
An "audience" consisting of the yahoos in the back row.
More still from Maddow on Sept. 13 --
America should handle the problem of people who get sick and don't have health insurance by letting them die, says the audience, exclamation point.
As if punctuation will swell the paltry numbers.
If you are an aspiring comic who isn't funny, Maddow might be the best friend you'd ever have. Because even though your jokes rarely draw more than chuckles wherever you perform, Maddow will reassure you that, man, you keep bringing down the house.

The Rachel Maddow show is boring
Submitted by rwnewsnut on Tue, 09/27/2011 - 5:28pm.
What is typical of Maddow is having conservatives on only in video clips. She runs a clip. Then she gets to respond. Count the on-air guests last night. How many were conservative? Same old story with Olbermann. Never someone to debate. Only guests that have the same liberal agenda are invited on-air.
I can only judge the product that is put on the air at MSNBC.
Maddow rumbling with a bunch of video clips or with a bunch of fellow travellers IS BORING.
I don't see her as all that intelligent. I base that on the few times I have seen her outside of her element, specifically Meet the Press. She doesn't impress.
PS - Look out for a troll from MediaMatters named Leedog.

Obama sees no need to be a "speech cop" for the left, as if what Hoffa says is just Hoffa--despite that we have an incident where a union thug bit off a guy's finger--it's just Hoffa and that other guy....
However, from the left, always trying to figure out the syndrome that makes conservative people think what they think, they try to deduce conservative sympathies from overt behavior, which they then imagine to be the tip of the iceberg, and everybody else is just not as boisterous about their "hatred".
To the left, the right is all about reaction , emotional reaction, and because the left--to the left--is about "ideas" there is not as much an emphasis on reactions as indicative of the whole population, because they are just discussing ideas, dissenting where they will, nothing is indicative of the whole group.
That we have a press that runs stories in these modes is a clear indication of the worldview of the press. I mean you still have the example of CBS after the assassination of JFK playing up the story about Dallas' hostility toward JFK as if somehow the actions of a lone communist who lived in Dallas, was indicative of the "atmosphere of hostility" in Dallas, mainly voiced in opposition by Texan conservatives.

Does anybody that watches these shows, meaning maddow's or the rest of the msnbc pundits, not have the capacity to see that a handful, like one to 4 people, on most of these clips are responding in a manner that maddow is referring to. Wow, how hard is she trying to disparage the right and the tea party with false inferences.
I watched fat ed schitz last night, he obviously hadn't done his homework. He kept asking leading questions to a democrat shill teacher, and the answers werent' what ed was hoping for. He looked perturbed. "Don't you think that the republican governor, having taken one billion out of the education budget, has undermined education in your state?" Answer, "No, the teachers are the same teachers and they are maintaining the quality of education in Wisconsin even without the funds!" Whew, Eddie was furious.

It seems that the media can find people who disagree with the GOP real easy. But who are the people who booed the gay serviceman? Why can't the media find them? Who was the guy who yelled out "yes!" the 30 year old should die? Why can't the media find him? Is it because they were plants in the audience by the Democrat party? Who says that everyone in the debate audience supports the GOP? Why it is the media who says that. I mean they can find the people who heard Sarah Palin say that she could see Russia from her house. Why aren't they trying to find these people to let them express their ideas? Is it because they put them there in the audience in the first place?

How come the stuttering knucklehead have a ready and smooth comeback when he normally can't recite his own name without his Teleprompter? Or the "random" millionaire that Obumbles picked out to ask a question about taxes; of course he is OK with "rich folk" paying more? Plants, all of them, and not the kind you would want gracing a table in your room or in a hanging basket (oops, did I just make a racist statement?).

I wonder when Rache had her lithium or valproate level checked. She seems to be having what we older psychiatrists refer to as a "manic spike", a moment when drug levels are temporarily subtherapeutic but return on the next dosing interval. They don't quite rise to the level of hypomanic or major depressive exacerbations, but instead have a more sudden onset and resolution.

Jake Barnes' old haunts are full of life, just what he would have wanted.
His great-grandchildren now play in the room where he spent his final days. In the bright dining room of the spacious white farm house his father built, three generations still gather for dinner.
It's a Wednesday evening, and the room is full of conversation.
Stories about Jake.
His fudge. His pranks. How he would pull out his dentures and chase his granddaughters around the house. How, when he was a boy, he switched the furniture in the dining room with the living room furniture, making his father livid.
How he held parties in the barn on the family farm.
"Countless parties," said his granddaughter, Laura Parrish.
And how he could eat more than anyone else on Sundays after church.
"Don't let the slenderness fool you," said another granddaughter, Suzanne Walker.
That narrow frame was a familiar sight in Clayton, where he stood, for decades, smiling behind a counter selling flowers. He arranged flowers for weddings, funerals and proms for much of Clayton.
"I dare say you could count on one hand the people over the age of 40 who grew up here whose lives Jake didn't touch through his talented hands," said longtime friend Carlton Vinson.
And, of course, if you saw him, you could never forget how he won Clayton's Miss Catastrophe contest in 1976. Those long, slender legs made just the right imitation of Cher.
"He was a sight for sore eyes, and anyone who saw him got sore eyes," said Clayton Mayor Jody McLeod, who counted Barnes as a mentor.
"I will miss him and be forever grateful for what he has done to help me be successful in the floral industry and be successful as mayor," McLeod said.
Barnes never went to school to learn the flower trade but had "God-given talent," said his daughter, Donna Parrish.
Truth be told, he didn't even want to be a florist at first.
In 1952, after marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sally Gardner, Barnes turned down an offer from florist Annie V. Longwell, who begged him to work in her shop.
Two years later, a florist named Evelyn Baugh in Wendell saw arrangements Barnes had done for a Thanksgiving service at his church, White Oak Baptist, in Archer Lodge.
Baugh must have spotted talent, because she also asked him to work for her.
Bored in the quiet winter months on the farm and with two small children to feed, Barnes finally took a job at Baugh's Florist in Wendell. Six years later, his wife suggested they buy a shop of their own; with the crazy hours a florist has to work, it would allow the family to be together more.
"We'd have to call long distance to tell him goodnight," Donna Parrish recalled of her and her brother, Alan Barnes.
In January of 1967, Barnes and his wife opened Clayton Flower Shop at 232 E. Main St. They competed and collaborated with Annie V's for years, sometimes working through nights together or borrowing materials from each other.
Not only was the flower shop a source of excellent arrangements, it was a social hub.
It was home to the "coffee club, a group of ladies who showed up early at his shop every morning and solved all the world's problems," said McLeod, the mayor and current Annie V's owner.
Friends knew they could drop in for a cup of hot coffee, a cold Coco Cola or even a nap on the vinyl couch Barnes kept in the back of the shop.
Family practically lived in the shop.
"I'd come home from school, and he had all these drawers and little compartments I could put my toys in and my coloring books," said Walker. "When I was not in school, he'd find a cardboard box and cut a door and windows in it. I'd sit in there all day and read and play."
A Christian influence
Not only did Barnes run a popular flower shop, he was also active in his church. For more than 30 years, he served as chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee at White Oak.
Barnes could tell you that in 1881, his grandfather, Elias Barnes, donated an acre for the church and helped build the original building from white oaks on the property. He could tell you that the church cemetery began as the Barnes' family cemetery and that in 1944 his father helped build the brick church that stands there today.
Barnes was a deacon for years and always took his family to church.
"He was always supportive and just a good Christian influence," Laura Parrish said. "He lived for God, and he loved others, and he put everybody else above him. I probably wouldn't be the Christian I am today if it weren't for him taking me to church so much and being the kind of person he was. He bent over backwards for everybody."
Freddy Creech, who worked for Barnes for 38 years, agreed.
"He was just my hero," he said. "He was always real friendly to be around, and if he told you something, it was true, and if he promised you something, he stood up to his word."
Creech started working for Barnes at age 15, took 18 years off to work as custodian for Clayton Elementary School and worked again for Barnes until Barnes retired in 1998. He now works for McLeod.
Creech recalls that Barnes wore a necktie to work every day, "like he was going to a church service."
"And his flower shop was just as clean as his house," he added.
After work, Barnes would drive Creech, who didn't have a license, to his house, where the two men would pull weeds and plant shrubs and flowers. When Creech's mother developed Alzheimer's, Barnes would visit her every day on his way home. And if Creech ever needed money, Barnes would loan it to him.
"After his son died in 1990, I feel like he adopted me as a son," Creech said.
Kindness often comes full circles.
"And in his last days," Creech said, "when he got disabled, I would walk him, I would give him a bath, I would change his clothes, help him get his clothes on. I would rub his feet. And he would always tell me, 'I'm your white daddy.' ... I can honestly say he was the best friend I had."
Nearly six years ago, Barnes developed a muscular disorder. His daughter, Donna Parrish, and her husband, David, fixed up the "home place," the house where Barnes grew up. They moved in and took care of Barnes.
He died March 1 at age 86.
"I feel like I've lost my daddy, and I lost a child, because I took care of him so long," Donna Parrish said.
Now the house where he grew up and where he grew old stands a little emptier. But in the house next door is his granddaughter Laura; and in the house next to that one, his granddaughter Suzanne, her husband Jonathan Walker and their two small children, James and Charlotte.
AnnieRuth O'Neal, who grew up working in the tobacco fields with Barnes, said she is comforted knowing Barnes is in a better place.
"I know, I believe in my heart, that Jake's at rest, and that's what counts most when we are at the end of the road," O'Neal said. "Even though it's sad, it's been a good life and a lot of good memories."
But tears still come, though Barnes wouldn't have wanted them to.
"When Daddy died, he said, 'I don't want no tears. I want you to gather in the barn and have a party," Donna Parrish said, adding that they plan to do that very thing.
The best description of Barnes might be from his 5-year-old great-grandson, James Walker, who called him Papa Jake.
"He was a pretty good man, and his family loved him," the youngster said.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Authorities said a Mexican man has been given a 15-month federal prison sentence in a human smuggling case in Arizona.
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that Timoteo Reyes-Ambrosio, 52, from Oaxaca, was arrested in September by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Reyes-Ambrosio was taken into custody after authorities discovered he was hiding illegal immigrants inside a home in Eloy, south of Phoenix.
The U.S. Attorney's Office prosecuted Reyes-Ambrosio on charges of for human smuggling and harboring.
Prosecutors said he will deported from the country after serving his prison term and he's banned for life from any legalization process.

What welcome news! The Tacoma teachers' strike is over, and its teachers and students returned to school today as everyone let out a sigh of relief.
On Wednesday night, after Governor Christine Gregoire had summoned both sides to her office in Olympia for a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement, and after seven hours of intense negotiations which were mediated by Gregoire herself, both sides made the necessary concessions to end this week-long strike.
The new three-year labor deal keeps the previous class-size limits in place as the teachers agreed to drop their demands for lower overall ratios of students to teachers. The district agreed to abandon their proposal to cut salaries, although teachers lost one paid training day.
The biggest arguments occurred over the district's demands to revise staffing policies allowing them to reassign teachers between schools based on criteria such as performance evaluations rather than seniority. Ultimately, it was agreed that a joint panel of school officials and teachers would be established to set new teacher evaluation standards to be used along with seniority to determine future staffing reassignments.
The settlement includes an amnesty clause which guarantees that union members who participated in the strike would not be adversely affected by that participation in their performance appraisals.
On Thursday, Tacoma's teachers showed up at Mount Tahoma High School to vote on the new three-year contract. Of the 1,701 who voted, only 15 teachers voted against the contract. The atmosphere was a celebratory one mixed with chants, standing ovations, and teachers dancing in the bleachers.
Tacoma Education Association president Andy Coons told the crowd, "We need to start healing. We need to get back to our classrooms. We need to focus on why we did this … we need to get back to that work tomorrow." And of the teachers, Coons said, "I have never been more proud to be a teacher. This was not an easy process, but … we did what had to be done and we did it together."
Dan Voelpel, the district spokesman said, "I think there's a sense of elation not only at getting students and teachers back in the class but that we came up with an agreement that sets the stage for innovation in how we match up teachers with the needs of schools."
Steve Jacobson, a 35-year old high school health and physical education teacher, who had his daughter, Bianca, perched on his shoulders during the celebration, said, "I'm excited to get back to work, and I'm excited for my daughter because she gets to go back to school."
District officials celebrated as well. Tacoma Superintendent Art Jarvis and school board president Kurt Miller rang the ceremonial bell which stands above the district's central office, something that hasn't been done in almost 10 years.
As he rang the bell which echoed throughout downtown Tacoma, Jarvis declared, "We call all the children back to school."
And to parents who have had to search for and pay for day care and for many students, the news has been a welcome relief.
"We were thrilled," said Jill Furman after the strike ended. She was preparing to go grocery shopping with her ninth-grade daughter Rebecca, who said she was running out of things to do in the days off. "It just got boring after a while," she said.
Some loose ends will still need to be tied up. For instance, the judge must still decide whether he will drop the contempt-of-court citations, although district officials said that they consider the issue closed. And the district will still need to determine how they will spend down its reserve funds by $15.4 million this year in order to avoid deeper cuts in student programs and staffing.
On Thursday, the district's website announced that school would reopen Friday, and today, teachers and students returned to their classrooms.
What a relief for this district who reached a fair compromise and can now get back to doing what it does best; educating and guiding its students!

Creighton spoiled former coach Dana Altman's return with an 84-76 victory over Oregon in Game one of the College Basketball Invitational championship series.
Doug McDermott led the way with 21 points including nine straight giving Creighton a 58-41 lead with just over four minutes to go in the second half. Gregory Jones tossed in 15 points while Jahenns Manigat and Josh Jones had 11 apiece.
The Ducks were led by Joevan Catron's 15 points and nine rebounds. Garrett Sim and Jay-R Strowbridge added 14.
Altman returned to the Quest center where he is Creighton's all-time winningest coach recording 327 victories over 16 seasons including seven trips to the NCAA Tournament. Altman left Creighton last season to sign a $1.7 million dollar deal from Oregon. Even with his departure, Altman received a warm reception from the Qwest Center crowd.
Game two of this series will be played on Wednesday in Oregon with a third game also being played in Oregon on Friday if necessary.

Our mini-suite was extremely comfortable with loads of storage space. Our room steward was a veteran of whom we could ask no more.
The ship was loaded. Someone said a record 3,500 passengers were on board. It's amazing that there were only minor problems with so many passengers.
We opted for Anytime Dining and disappointedly could not get in on the first night around 8:15 so we headed for the Cafe International which was much to our liking. The next night we did secure a table in Anytime, but found the service was painfully slow - over two hours. During the remainder of the cruise we used the Cafe or specialty restaurants which are both very good, especially the steak house. The Horizon Court and Cafe International (buffets) were varied, abundant and in general excellent.
Embarkation and disembarkation were handled very efficiently. As Captain's Circle elite members, we were especially impressed with the lounge we were assigned in which to await disembarkation. Newspapers, coffee, danish in a comfortable, uncrowded setting. The perks given to Captain's Circle members with ranking status far exceed anything we have experienced elsewhere.
Entertainment ran the gamut. Some very good, some mediocre. The Princess dancers were not as brilliant as on past cruisers. Their energy level was somewhat diminished, costumes were dull, and singing voices not exceptional. Perhaps this type of entertainment has run its course and it's time for a change.
We're sorry to see the Sanctuary take over the sports venue once available. Paddle ball and ping-pong were once located in this area and it was a gathering place and opportunity to meet sports enthusiasts. Paddle is gone and ping-pong is taken over by the kids who trashed all the new paddles from day one and crushed every ping-pong ball on board. Perhaps a system whereby one must surrender one's cruise card for equipment should be instituted.
Music in the lounges was varied and appealed to different tastes. We enjoyed dancing to the music in the Wheelhouse.
This cruise is a great way to relax, especially since there are two sea days going out and coming back. Cruising out of New York is a thrill. There is always activity in the port, the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street and the sail under the Verrazano Bridge.
Love the cruise and the big ship.

In March of 2006, Sen. Barack Obama openly criticized then President George W. Bush for "increasing America's debt, which will lead to weakening us domestically and internationally." He went on to state that leadership means that "the buck stops here."
He has now increased the national debt more than all previous presidents combined. The U.S. now borrows 42 cents of every dollar it spends.
If voters keep him in office for another four years, he will surely bankrupt the country.
I usually shout at the TV screen when I see President Obama, or I start to cry. The man is a serious danger to this country.
A couple of weeks ago, however, I burst out laughing when I heard Obama chastising European countries for "not living within their means."
Does the man really believe we are all stupid?

The program features excellent teaching, small classes and an extensive legal skills program, which provides an exciting learning experience that challenges you academically and prepares you practically for a legal career. You will learn the following skills needed to practice law in a modern environment:
The Queensland Public Interest Law Clearing House (QPILCH) runs an administrative law clinic as an elective subject. Students research cases and write submissions on behalf of QPILCH. The Faculty strongly encourages students to complete clerkships or work experience with law firms during their holidays, but these do not form part of course requirements.
The Juris Doctor program is an approved degree for purposes of admission as a barrister or solicitor in all Australian jurisdictions. And in conjunction with further study, the program can be used to gain admission internationally. Students are always advised to confirm admission requirements in the particular jurisdiction in which they wish to practise.
The Juris Doctor is constructed to enable graduates to take leading positions in the public and private sectors. Our graduates are now employed in top law firms throughout Australia and across 38 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore, as solicitors in private practice, barristers, government lawyers, in-house counsel and academics. You are encouraged to emphasise specific areas of study you feel will best serve your career ambitions.

Despite the fact it was long, long time ago, I have always remembered something that my Grandfather told me:
"You can't argue with an illogical person"
Like Sam (or Mark, if you prefer) said, "In a battle of wits, it is poor sport to fight an unarmed man."
Either way, it's obviously pointless and I'm done.
I should have read this before I wrote my latest response...
