In case it wasn't entirely clear if Lofa Tatupu was really going to walk away from the Seattle Seahawks rather than accept a pay cut, the latest sign that he is at least seriously considering a move came Monday when he was scheduled to visit the Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins. The Seahawks reportedly asked Tatupu over the weekend to take a pay cut of a couple million dollars from his scheduled salary of $4.35 million. He was then released, freeing him up to look for work elsewhere.
The decision not to accept the pay cut apparently came as a bit of a surprise for the Seahawaks, for whom Tatupu has been a locker room leader and a team captain. After signing his extension in 2008, he said that he planned to retire as a Seahawk. Tatupu also played for Seahawks coach Pete Carroll when both were at USC.
The decision to release Tatupu was not hugely surprising from the Seahawks' perspective. Since signing his six-year, $42 million contract, he has battled injuries and his effectiveness has declined considerably. After appearing in just five games in 2009, he played all 16 in 2010, but had a career low 88 tackles.

One more thing, about the War on Terror.
As we mark the one year anniversary of the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and the topping out of the new "One World Trade Center" in New York, the debate continues over U.S. interrogation techniques that began after 9/11.
In a memoir out Monday, the former head of the CIA's clandestine services, Jose Rodriguez defends water boarding and other harsh interrogation sessions.
His book is "Hard Measures: How Aggressive CIA Actions after 9/11 Saved American Lives."
Critics have called much of what the CIA and it's operatives did torture - stooping to the levels of our enemies - not what the United States has always stood for.
In his book, Rodriguez worries that our capability to prevent further attacks has been reduced because President Obama has abandoned interrogation techniques of the past, including water boarding.
He said the administration has become too reliant on armed drones to kill, instead of to capture, terrorists.
"Drones can be a highly effective way of dealing with high-priority targets," Rodriguez said. "But there is no opportunity to interrogate or learn anything from a suspect vaporized by a missile."
No one can say for sure why there hasn't been a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil in more than ten years. But no doubt the sharing of intelligence between the CIA and the FBI has helped. Much of that intelligence was gathered by controversial means.
Is it the way the U.S. used to do business? No.
But the game changed on nine eleven, and we weren't the ones who changed it.
The enemy now has no border. This war is different. The rules need to be different too. Our lives depend on it.

Three Paths for Study with Genpo Roshi
My deepest wish continues to be to clarify the Way and assist others to awaken, for all of us to get to the root of suffering, causing as little suffering as possible, and for each of us to realize our unique opportunity as aware and responsible human beings.
In my view, rather than striving to be perfect, we need to recognize our innate perfection, while acknowledging all aspects of our shared humanity, including our fears and our shadows, and owning them with courage and humility. We cannot ignore our karma; it is our life, and in my experience our practice is to be at one with it, to live with joy, wisdom and compassion towards all beings.
Looking forward, beginning in 2014 I will be offering three paths for those who wish to study with me. I have spent the past three years in self-reflection, deepening my practice and working on acknowledging my own shadows and deeply rooted patterns. It is my intention to devote the remainder of my life to integrating the Zen Tradition and Big Mind and the challenges of continuing, endless practice with those who would like to share them.
To read more please click here.
If you would like to hear a sampling of Genpo Roshi's current teaching, you are invited to listen to a recent workshop recorded live on September 27, 2013 in Seattle, Washington. Click here to request a link to the recording. The recording cannot be streamed from this site, but can be downloaded free.
I too am just a stepping stoneI recently had a beautiful conversation with a young man I've known for a number of years, which helped me realize something very big for me, something that deeply touches my heart. I feel like I'm at a point in my life, now that I'm 70 and after what I have been through these past years, where my energy, and my drive, has shifted.
The way I would say it is kind of a subtle shift from what I used to say: I would like you to stand not in my shadow, or on my head for that matter, but on my shoulders. I'd like to assist you in deepening and clarifying your way, with the wisdom that I've learned from my rises and falls. There have been a couple now in my life, and each time of course it's devastating and it's heartbreaking, but it's also an experience of learning, and a softening.
In the past, particularly from 1999 until 2011, it was really about changing the world, awakening and raising the consciousness of the planet. That's still

I design and build custom sunroom additions in Chittenden
County, Vt. (see
"Building Custom
Sunrooms," 5/00). Many of these rooms include skylights as
a practical way of adding glazing overhead. I install around 20
skylights each year, so I need to be certain that I don't get
called back to fix leaks. So far, I've never had a leak, which
I attribute primarily to closely following the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
When planning a sunroom, I usually work with the client to
determine the right location for each skylight. I'll make
recommendations about what would look best and how to avoid
glare within the room. In a sunroom that doubles as a TV room,
for example, I might recommend optional shades.
Most customers appreciate the extra sunlight on a winter day
but don't realize that skylights can overheat a room in the
summer. For that reason, I always steer clients toward a
ventilating skylight -- preferably manual rather than
motorized. I feel more comfortable with the simplicity of the
manual unit and like knowing I won't get a call in five years
to repair or replace a motor. Plus, electronic units cost twice
as much as manual units.
Nevertheless, some customers choose the motorized skylights
because they like the convenience. Motorized units can be
programmed to open and close on a schedule and will close
automatically when it rains.
I prefer Velux skylights (Greenwood, S.C.; 800/888-3589,
www.velux-america.com), simply because
they've never given me any trouble, I'm comfortable with their
flashing system, and I have the installation instructions
memorized. The VS model is my favorite; it provides good
ventilation and comes in a wide variety of sizes. Although I've
used other manufacturers with success in the past, the
distribution wasn't as extensive in my area, making their
products harder to get and increasing lead times.
During framing, I make an extra effort to get the openings
perfectly sized and square. It makes setting the skylight --
not to mention the trim -- go more smoothly.
I leave the units boxed for transport and on the job site to
lessen the chance of damage and keep all the parts together. A
few days before the scheduled installation, we remove the
manufacturer labels and prefinish the frames and sash.
Prefinishing is neater and faster than working from a ladder
after the units are installed. I'm seldom asked to paint the
skylights, because the engineered beams that form the
structural frame of our sunrooms are naturally attractive, and
my customers usually want to continue the look of natural wood
to the trim and millwork. We typically use a couple of coats of
water-based polyurethane. It provides good protection from
humidity and condensation and cleans up easily.
In preparation for the skylight installation, the roof is
sheathed and covered with 30-pound felt. I hold the felt back
from the openings about 6 to 8 inches, so the waterproof
underlayment can adhere to the roof deck. Up to this point,
I've temporarily covered the openings with plywood to keep rain
out of the room. Before bringing the skylights out onto the
roof, I shingle up close to the openings. On hot days, I'll
stop shingling a little lower on the roof so the shingles don't
get scuffed while the skylights are being installed.
Removing the sash makes handling safer
and easier. Narrow strips of ceiling between skylights make
layout mistakes really obvious, so special attention is given
to accurate spacing during framing.
I start the skylight installation by first bending out the
L-shaped mounting brackets and removing the cladding and sash,
making the unit lighter and easier to handle. I pass the frame
through the roof to a helper and stand inside to center it in
the opening (see Figure 1). Centering ganged skylights is
especially important, because trim and narrow sections of
drywall will show up the discrepancy inside if the roof windows
aren't spaced equally.
Figure 2.An improvised tool helps center the unit
in the opening. The speed square rides along the rafter, and
the combination square indicates the space between the unit and
the rough opening. Note the layer of polystyrene insulation
installed beneath the roof sheathing.
I've improvised a simple tool to help with centering: A speed
square clamped to a combination square with a set of locking
pliers makes it easy to check the reveals quickly and get them
just right (Figure 2). I rest the units on a temporary cleat
nailed to the roof, which makes positioning easier and safer
(Figure 3). It also keeps multiple units in a straight line and
prevents expensive skylights from sliding to an untimely
Figure 3.Tacking a 2x4 cleat to the sheathing
keeps units in a straight line and prevents them from sliding
off the roof. Once the units are secured, the cleat will be
removed so shingling can continue.
When I'm certain the skylight is centered, we nail through the
mounting brackets in two opposite corners, using the heavy-duty
ring-shank nails included with the skylight (Figure 4). We try
to get them into the roof framing, but the annular rings resist
pull-out even if they're driven only into the roof sheathing.
Next I reinstall the sash to check operation and ensure that
the unit's frame is square and will remain so. Once the unit is
in its final position and the sash operates without binding, we
fasten through the other brackets, locking the skylight in
Figure 4.After the carpenters nail down two of the
four mounting brackets, they reinstall the sash to make sure
that the unit is square (left). Necessary adjustments are made;
then the other brackets are nailed off (right).
When we have all the skylights secured in their final
position, I remove the cleat that helped with placement and we
cut 10-inch-wide strips of self-adhering eaves membrane for a
secondary water barrier. This is the last defense against water
infiltration, and the manufacturer requires it. The skylight
manufacturer makes its own membrane, but we generally use Grace
Ice and Water Shield (Grace Construction Products, Cambridge,
Mass.; 866/333-3726,
because it's readily available, less expensive, and it sticks
better than other products I've tried.
We start at the bottom, attaching the membrane to the skylight
and smoothing it onto the roof. The sides are next, with the
areas between adjacent skylights the biggest challenge. With
all hands on deck, we take positions at top, bottom, and middle
and try to keep the membrane from sticking to itself and making
a mess. The piece is cut so that it extends about 6 inches
beyond the skylight, top and bottom. We adhere the membrane to
one skylight and smooth it down toward the roof and back up
onto the other skylight (Figure 5).
Figure 5.To reduce the chance of leaks, the author
uses a single piece of membrane in the space between skylights.
Folding the membrane in half helps to keep it from sticking to
itself (top). Aligning the membrane's edge on the first unit
and smoothing toward the roof deck and back up the second unit
minimizes wrinkles (center). Cutting the corner allows the
vertical leg to wrap around the top corner
Finally, we install the top piece of membrane. It laps over
the side pieces and is stuck to the roof sheathing under the
felt (Figure 6). We use a hammer stapler to better secure the
membrane to the skylight, stapling as close to the membrane's
top edge as possible. This isn't as critical in warm
temperatures, but I had one occasion where the membrane
separated from the skylight and had to be redone. Since then, I
always staple the membrane as extra insurance.
Figure 6.The top piece of membrane laps over the
sides (left), and a slit cut outward forms a flap that folds
around the corner (right). The membrane's leading edge is
adhered to the roof deck under the felt.
After the membrane is installed, we continue shingling up the
roof to the bottom edge of the skylight. We know we have
shingled far enough when the sill flashing, the bottom piece of
flashing, covers up some of the shingles' 5-inch exposure
(Figure 7). Special nails are provided for attaching the
flashing: They're 3/4 inch long so they won't poke through the
frame, and they're noncorrosive to the aluminum.
Figure 7.When the shingling reaches the skylight,
the sill flashing is slid up from the bottom and fastened at
the top corner with the manufacturer's special nails (left).
The first piece of step flashing overlaps the sill flashing 3
1/2 inches. Where adjacent sill flashings overlap, urethane
sealant provides extra insurance against leaks
We shingle up the sides, weaving the step flashing into the
courses. The manufacturer specifies at least a 3 1/2-inch
overlap on every piece, and the pieces are nailed near the top
on the downhill edge. The last piece of step flashing is slit
so it can bend around the top corner (Figure 8).
Figure 8.Cutting the last piece of step flashing
at the fold allows it to be bent around the skylight's top and
nailed like the others to the side of the frame.
The small section of roofing between ganged units gets a
U-shaped piece of flashing rather than step flashing. We bend
our own in the shop out of high-quality bronze aluminum trim
coil; if you don't have a brake, the manufacturer offers a
pre-bent U-shaped flashing as well. We make our own flashing
because I like to have flexibility in spacing the units. The
U-shaped metal is held in place by the cladding when it's
reinstalled. Next, we install the head flashing over the step
flashing and shingles, but we don't install the screws (Figure
9). We put a strip of eaves membrane over the head flashing and
under the felt.
Figure 9.The leading edge of the head flashing
(top left) gets covered with a second strip of eaves membrane
(top right). Note that the felt is lifted so the membrane can
be adhered to the roof deck. Notching the shingles around the
skylights maintains a 4-inch exposure (bottom).
Shingling is easier now because we no longer have to cut and
fit around the skylights, but it's important to leave a 2 3/8-
to 4-inch space between the top of the skylight and the
shingles. That space prevents roofing nails from punching holes
in the head flashing and allows water and debris to get around
the skylight unimpeded.
Figure 10.Reinstalling the skylight's cladding
completes the process. The bottom goes on first (top left).
Slots in the bottom receive the side pieces (top right).
Plastic inserts in the sides receive the screws inserted
through the head flashing (bottom left). Finally, the top
cladding piece is slipped over the head flashing and secured
with two screws (bottom right).
Next we reinstall the cladding that was taken off when the
sash was removed (Figure 10). Those pieces, held in place by
screws, give the skylight its finished look and act as
counter-flashing for the U-flashing and step flashing. We start
at the bottom, continue up the sides, and finish with the top

Bill Maher: Republicans Are Paranoid, Greedy Racists
It certainly was no surprise after what happened in Pakistan last Sunday that HBO's Bill Maher was going to spend much of his "Real Time" program fawning over Barack Obama.
Having done precisely that for approaching an hour, Maher ended Friday's show by calling members of the GOP paranoid, greedy racists (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: 30 percent of this country will always vote Republican. I'm just asking why? Yes, paranoia, greed, and racism are fun, but it's, it's like when you see someone driving a Mercury, you think, you think, "Did that person really wake up one day thinking, 'You know what car I want to drive, a Mercury Mariner.'" No. No. You assume he knows someone who sells them or he was molested by a Kia dealer as a child.
And I know this all sounds like harsh truth but Republicans are supposed to be the party of harsh truths like there's no such thing as a free lunch - and speaking of lunch, I think Obama just ate yours.
Most interesting about this concluding segment was that earlier in the program, former Bush speechwriter David Frum several times stated that one of the great revelations from Sunday's raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan was that a large part of the mechanisms enabling the mission were indeed put in place by the previous White House resident.
In Frum's, Obama took the ball from his predecessor and ran with it.
The point he was making, contrary to protestations by other panelists, wasn't that Bush necessarily deserved credit for something that happened over two years after he left office, but that the current White House resident was utilizing a counter terrorism and intelligence structure created by the previous president thereby giving the mission and its success a distinctly bipartisan flavor.
In a nation rife with hyperpartisanship and political sniping, Frum viewed this as an entree to a more civil national discussion. One thing necessary for this to happen was the nation's radio and TV talkers would need to tone down their rhetoric.
Maher must not have been listening, for minutes later he called Republicans paranoid, greedy racists.
Ironically, folks like Maher and others in the media constantly complain about the caustic tone in this country without ever considering the part they play in fanning the fires of acrimonious discontent. In their distorted world view, only a conservative can be a polemicist.
Someone should sit the "Real Time" host down and force him to watch this installment over and over until a light bulb goes on over his head - or am I kidding myself on a Saturday morning?

because of both channels' left-leaning, conservative/Repub bashing garbage. Maher is THE main reason why we don't take HBO, and even though without him, we still would likely not get HBO, but as long as he is affiliated with them in any, we won't even consider it. Obviously I'm not the only one that feels this way, but there are apparently enough empty-headed, hateful libnuts out there who do watch the despicable Maher, and who somehow manage to keep him on the air.

If you REALLY support the liberal agenda then shouldn't you be paying a WHOLE LOT MORE of those taxes since you're one of those "wealthiest one percent" folks? Oh I forgot - as I learned from Tim Geithner and Charlie Rangel, what you mean is you want OTHER RICH PEOPLE to pay more in taxes. Kinda like John Kerry saying, "People like me should be paying more" and then docking his boat in Rhode Island to save $400,000 in taxes. Surely your love of government should result in you putting your money where your mouth is.
Note to Bill: how did Obama eat the Republicans' lunch? That comment makes absolutely no sense at all. Oh, because he sent in the Navy Seals? You mean the ones who got the information from those who YOU OPPOSED THE INTERROGATION of. Those? Guess what? Come November 2012, nobody will care. Don't believe me? Go ask GHW Bush.

And of course, a mere ten days ago, George Bush kicked off the Wounded Warrior Ride, the first official event of his Presidential Social Enterprise Initiative?
"I take responsibility for having put these men and women in harm's way. And I intend to make sure America never forgets these brave soldiers and they get the attention and services they deserve."
But of course, Bill Maher can't possibly see the difference between Bush's treatment of the troops and Obama's. Obama treats the military like one big campaign photo op.

How long will it be before the lib media starts to directly call for violence against conservatives and republicans? How long before Mahar, Beher, Whoopi, Rosie O'Donnel, Malloy or someone like them say something like THIS:
'Republicans are traitors to Obama. We call on all democrats and all who are loyal to Obama to treat conservatives as enemies, and they must be driven from the country or exterminated if necessary to protect the public peace.'

It's not a question of insanity as you or I define it. It's a question of cannon fodder. The liberal elites know of the 80 million owners of the 200 million guns in this country, the vast majority of those owners are of the conservative bent, i.e. NOT liberal. Some are leftist loons too but the vast majority is conservative. So why would the elites in the MSM incite the few leftist loons who have weapons? To give a pretext for the government to seize all guns in the name of domestic tranquility. Once this happens then the elites can safely pull off their cherished bloodless coup. They know the way the Constitution and rights are set up by the founding fathers prevents any coup attempt since the coup plotters have to contend with literally millions of gun totting opponents hunting for them on every street. At the end of the day, the armed citizen, the militia, is the backbone of our freedoms as the only reason any dictatorship can rule is via the consent of the governed. Condoning and fear are a form of consent, not legitimate, but until the slave stands up to fight he/she is not free. You can not be free unless you are willing to die for it. Liberals offer a faux freedom, their condescending condoning of your existence as long as it benefits them.

What Kind of a Mind Thinks That
Submitted by Comrade Jim on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 12:27pm.
"Yes, paranoia, greed, and racism are fun" or thinks that anyone else would think that "paranoia, greed, and racism are fun"?
Is Maher paranoid, greedy, and racist himself? I don't know about the (personal) greedy part but he sure sounds paranoid and racist. The constant charges of racism against people he disagrees with serves to use race for political purposes and to drive a wedge between the races.
The Democratic Party has a long history of racism. Their traditional racists have been dying off, Robert KKK Byrd being the latest, now they are fully into the new racism. Use race to bash political opponents.
To try to answer the question in the subject line, I would say that it is the kind of mind that would say anything that could possibly have a political impact. It is a question of judgment as to how outrageous to be and pass the laugh test. Even his audience has limits. His audience would not quite swallow the charge that, say, Republicans are Martians. That one he would have to cloak in a joke.
To me it is still a bit of an open question of what kind of a mind thinks that...?

The US has in natural resources, more oil than the Middle East and could run on it's own oil for the next 300 years before we might have to look for another source. Can you understand what that means?
- No more giving billions to our enemies for their only product,oil
- No more giving billions to Brazil so they can investing in oil exploration and drilling
- More jobs here
- More supply of oil her
Here it is. Wait for it. Hang on. Here it comes: And that would lead to >>>>>LOWER PRICES for oil, gas, everything that needs to travel to supply anyone's needs.<<<<<

What does gasoline have to do
Submitted by NL207 on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 11:16pm.
with a house, unless you happen to be an arsonist?
Obama has not done anything to make housing supply go down. Indeed, he has increased the number of housing units for sale, thereby depressing prices.
Obama and the Democrats in general have declared war on fossil fuels. They are strangling oil exploration and development of new supplies by making huge deposits of oil off-limits altogether or imposing burdensome permitting and regulation processes. Then Obama has the effrontery to lie to the American people about the size of America's oil reserves and blame high prices on greedy oil company profits.
Obama claims America only has 2-3% of the oil in the world. This is a barefaced lie. America has at least 1T bbls of oil in its lands and the waters off its coasts. Some place this number as high as 1.4T bbls. Depending on whose estimates of world oil reserves you use, this is somewhere between 15 and 25% of all the oil in the world.
Obama says the high price of gas is caused by greedy oil companies and speculators. The oil companies make less than a nickel profit per gallon of gas sold. Greedy governments levy about 40-60 cents tax on each gallon of gas sold depending on the state and locality. Investors see Obama is stifling future production from roughly 20% of the world's known oil reserves. They are investing in oil betting that it will rise in price because future US supplies are being constrained by Obama and worldwide demand is increasing. Increase supplies and the price will go down.

Obama -- Parade time!
Submitted by MCLANTIERE on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 1:07pm.
The economy is a wreck, unemployment is going back UP, companies are not spending to invest, our enemies think we're a toothless lion ... and FINALLY King Obama got something right, by ordering a "hit" on another leader!
These racist fools that elected him (yes, the PRO-Obama supporters are the one who clearly voted on the basis of race) have been watching this disaster unfold -- ready to pounce on all critics by accusing them of that for which they-themselves are most guilty -- Racism! They are truly delusional -- unable to see that the POLICIES are actually, fundamentally flawed . For them, there's only one other possibility when someone dares to criticize our country's present course. It must be RACE!
So the Donkey-Nose Maher gets on TV ... and having NOTHING in 2-years about which to applaud and crow in the Obama "RESULTS Dept." .... he screams aloud the first time any goes right! This is like taking a kid to the bowling alley for the first time ... and all night long everything he rolls is a "gutter-ball". And then –miraculously! -- more a result of an accident .. one ball actually has the inertia to stay on the wood ... enough at least to eventually knock down a pin! And the place erupts is a joyous cheer!!
Such is life for Barack Obama. Elected not because of any actually experience or ideals ... but more because the idea of a RACIAL candidate made for such an Historic Moment in America. Have you ever noticed how often a liberal will tell you how SMART Obama is ... how educated ... how much sheer CLASS the man has. It's reminiscent of Harry Reid remarking that Obama was a CLEAN ATRICULATE BLACK MAN.
So after needing 16 hours of "thinking about it", and "sleeping on it" ... Obama orders the "hit". Young men (Navy Seals) risk their lives ... and Fearless Leader "eats our lunch" (take THAT, Bush!!) because the Seals accomplished the mission, for which they are well trained. All the while, Obama poses for photo-ops in the Situation room ... looking "intent" as the drama unfolds (oops, that picture WAS actually posed!)
Well, you know what I mean. When it goes right, he spikes the ball like Terrell Owens ... and when it goes wrong, you can hear Al Sharpton and Bill Maher saying "Give the Brother a break."

What if Presidencies reversed
Submitted by Miket53 on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 1:13pm.
To make sure everyone understands the significance of what George Bush did they should think how the terrorism/Osama story would have played out if the presidential terms were reversed.
If 9/11 happened under Obama's watch would he have been so focused and deliberate in a war on terrorism? Would he have committed the time and money to such a goal? Would he have even continued to hunt Osama bin Laden? I doubt it. There is a high probability that the US would have been attacked yet again by Osama. Therefore the events of last Sunday would never have happened. Osama probably wouldn't have been so diligent about hiding.
Barack Obama had to do what he did and is now getting a lot of political mileage out of it. What will be interesting to watch is if he hurts the support from the extreme left now that he has bin Laden's death on his hands. Most are happy bin Laden is gone but the extreme left liberals must be fuming.

Submitted by Smartypants on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 1:35pm.
These left wing loons, like Maher, can gush all they want about His Highness and the killing of bin Laden. It was GWB who decimated Al Quaida. His Administration destroyed much of the hierarchy of the organization, froze many of its funding and money movement capabilities and put them on the run. They have not been nearly as effective since Bush focused on them. It is great that they finally got the leader, but it is also somewhat inconsequential. The left wing media told us endlessly that Bush's actions would help terrorist recruiting. What exactly does the shooting of an unarmed bin Laden lead to?

Why are Leftists not recognized as "haters"? They LIVE to hate!
Submitted by Ted Clarke on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 2:07pm.
The final comment this idiot makes -- "speaking of lunch, I think Obama just ate yours" -- indicates a distinction between the way the Right and the Left view Osama bin Laden's death:
The Right sees it as a MORAL victory over evil enemies of America.
The Left sees it as a POLITICAL victory over "evil" Americans.
And speaking of how the Left views the Right, here is an assortment of delightful quotations that seem to suggest that they don't like us very much:
1) HOWARD DEAN (ex-chairman of the DNC)
> "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for."
> Describing his political fight with Americans of the other party: "This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."
> "In contradistinction to the Republicans, Democrats don't believe kids ought to go to bed hungry at night."
2) ALAN GRAYSON (ex-D., Fla.)
> "I want to say a few words about what it means to be a Democrat. It's very simple: We have a conscience."
> "The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick."
3) MICHAEL FEINGOLD (The Village Voice)
> "Republicans don't believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don't give a hoot about human beings, either can't or won't. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm."
> "You guys see Live and Let Die, the great Bond film with Yaphet Kotto as the bad guy, Mr. Big? In the end they jam a big CO2 pellet in his face and he blew up. I have to tell you, Rush Limbaugh is looking more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody's going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he's going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet. But we'll be there to watch. I think he's Mr. Big, I think Yaphet Kotto. Are you watching, Rush?"
> "People love Medicare. And the only one the Tea Party people want to cut is Medicaid because it's for poor people and minorities."
5) COURTLAND MILLOY (The Washington Post)
> "I know how the 'tea party' people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health-care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their 'Obama Plan White Slavery' signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads."
6) NINA TOTENBURG (NPR on "Inside Washington")
> "I think he [then-Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.)]ought to be worried about what's going on in the Good Lord's mind, because if there is retributive justice, he'll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."
7) JULIANNE MALVEAUX (then-USA Today columnist)said of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. … He is an absolutely reprehensible person."
> In defending Islamo-fascist terrorists who mass murder people in the name of their religion, he said: "But Christians do that every single day in this country." Ayaan Hirsi Ali, clearly surprised, responded: "Do they blow people up every single day?" Tavis insisted this was true, as if it was common knowledge: "Yes, oh, Christians...everyday. People walk into post offices...I mean, people walk into post offices. They walk into schools. That was what Columbine was. I mean I could do this all day long. There are so many more examples of Christians -- and I happen to be a Christian, that's back to this notion of you idealizing Christianity, in my mind, to my read. -- There are so many more examples, Ayaan, of Christians who do that than you can ever give me examples of Muslims who have done that inside this country where you live and work."
9) JOHN CUSACK (Huffington Post blogger and actor)
He described conservatives as "flag-sucking half-wits" who "speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate-mongers among us. They are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis."
> "Well, the Tea Party, you know, they are sad, unfortunate people because — well, they are, because they are, you know, corporate America's useful idiots. (Applause) They are. They — I would have more respect for them if they knew a thing, if any fact could get in that tin foil helmet. If they would get out of their chat rooms and have their house tested for lead for just a minute....I don't have any respect for the tea-baggers and I do call them the tea-baggers even though they hate it."
> "Why do you think so many conservatives are so against this feeling of being kind?"
Please feel free to add to this list if the mood strikes.

greed - ok admit that - I'm not interested in sharing my income without my express permission nor having it wasted on liberal boondoggles so they can claim credit for helping people by screwing them over or making them dependent.
racism - already called that because I don't agree with Obama, expose the consequences of his stated intentions and frequently point out his expired statements.

So Maher, what's your point? I vote Republican, so what of it? You vote Democrat. Your point is inane and your employer is wasting it's money and loses it credibility based on your type of tripe. Instead of name calling and deminishing those who disagree with you be the big person and reason with them. The fact you stoop to such childish nonsense demonstrates you are not capable of convincing anyone under the age of 18 with little to no life experience of the logical sequence of facts that support your conclusions.

No, Noel, most interesting is how uncritically you present that eunuch David "No Labels" Frum. This fraud is constantly (and desperately) trolling for new angles to make himself and his intellectually lazy brand of "compassionate 'conservatism'" appear relevant. It's all well and good for you to bash Comrade Maher and his audience of Marxist college drones, but when someone like Frum tries to legitimize Maher by pretending to represent conservative thought, speaking platitudes about how Frum sees this as an opportunity for more speech code tyranny under the guise of "civil discourse" is woefully inadequate. Unprincipled, pseudo-intellectual garbage like David Frum is significantly more damaging to the well-being of this country than unintelligent, hacky pseudo-comedians like Bill Maher.

There is no reasons some idiot, like him, should just have a forum, with a built in Amen chorus, to spout this stuff and not be held accountable for it. He's no long a comedian, he's a political commentator and, as such, he should be judged accordingly.

The Greensburg football team dominated the visiting Lawrenceburg Tigers for the first 24 minutes of action Friday night at Shriver Field.
The Tigers could not buy a first down on offense, or a stop on defense. Greensburg scored on three of its first four possessions, featuring the legs of junior Trent Black and a strong performance from the offensive line.
For the next 24 minutes, the Tigers adjusted and scored three touchdowns to overcome the Pirates 21-20.
Greensburg gained nearly 200 yards on the ground in the first half, more than triple the Tigers' output.
The momentum shifted and, just like in last year's Lawrenceburg game, the Tigers regained control and came from behind to win.
Meadows finished with 32 yards passing and 66 yards rushing on 14 carries.
Black carried 24 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns, while senior Blake Wood carried 12 times for 70. Devin Ruble added 32 yards on seven carries.
Sam Fette completed 15 of 30 passes for 202 yards and a score, while Konner Jackson gained 120 yards on 14 carries and scored twice.
All statistics are unofficial.
Greensburg, now 2-2, will host South Dearborn this Friday at 7 p.m. at Shriver Field.

EC MOD - Patch 1.8, requires patch 1.7 AND 1.2Aug 29, 2014 EC MOD Patch 0 comments
EC Mod patch 1.8. requires patch 1.7 AND version 1.2. Fixed a few bugs with the PE and made a few new features!
Delivering a visceral WWII gaming experience, Company of Heroes redefines real time strategy gaming by bringing the sacrifice of heroic soldiers, war-ravaged environments, and dynamic battlefields to life.
Beginning with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, players lead squads of Allied soldiers into battle against the German war machine through some of the most pivotal battles of WWII. Through a rich single player campaign, players experience the cinematic intensity and bravery of ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary events.

Hello dear fans!
I am so excited to be writing this news article for you guys today! Life is great - the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and best of all, I'm not sitting in a classroom failing a final exam! Isn't it lovely!?
Ahem, back to the article. I'm so excited to be able to actually write this right now so I can keep you guys updated and show you that we're still alive and breathing. Unfortunately I don't have anything really to show off - a lot of what I've been doing during finals week, besides studying and not sleeping, is drawing little doodles on napkins, notes, old quizzes, etc, so I can't really show you much of that. However, I will address some key points that I've been meaning to get to and share what I can via text!
Firstly, I'd like to thank and specify the members of the team who are still active, at least as far as I'm concerned. Obviously we're all pretty busy with real life, so we've been pitching in wherever we can. Our team looks a little something like this:
Special thanks to DMz, Beefy^, VanAdrian, and the countless members of the CoH community who have lent a hand to ZM during its development. At release there will be a list of contributors with their full contributions made clear.
Secondly, I want to address something of particular importance before I go into the real update. As I'm sure you guys are aware, ZM deals with some particularly sensitive matters, including widespread death of civilians and innocent people. It is not ZM's intent to display anything that could be unsettling, especially when you consider some of the tragedies that have occurred during our development. For this reason, with the added bonus of reducing potential causes of lag, we have decided that depictions of death on maps will be kept to an absolute minimum and will be handled tastefully when needed. On a similar note, I would like to remind everyone that ZM is an apolitical mod - we do not wish to make any political statements of any sort, meaning that topics such as foreign relations (specifically US-Russia, US-China and China-Japan relations), gun-rights, and current politics of any sort will not be addressed.
With all that depressing stuff out of the way, let's get down to business (to defeat the Huns?) We are really excited to make ZM a totally unique experience in CoH and indeed the entire strategy gaming genre. We are doing everything we can, from a mapping, balance and scripting perspective to make sure that ZM is an enjoyable experience. It is my ultimate goal for ZM to be released as a professional-quality product with a wide variety of maps and map types that can be played competitively or for fun by anyone with Company of Heroes and a computer. Unfortunately my speculations on release dates are exactly that - speculations, but it is my fear that, as school gets harder, the mod will not be released until after my graduation in 2016. I certainly do hope, however, to be proven wrong :)
I hope to have stuff for you guys very soon - I'm very eager to get to work and to have some shots out of what we're doing as soon as possible. But first, I think I need about a week to get back on my feet after that year at school. All the best from your ZM team!

This game is bad *** currently developing a WWI mod to it, gotta say everything that's above 1.71 sucks since it lags and the game is much more boring then.

The game its self is like saving pr, many cut scenes and chrtrs were ment to mirror the movie
Highest Rated (4 agree) 10/10
Very good, addicting game!
Hope Relic makes a RTS based in the Eastern Theatre.

Ovarian Follicle
An ovarian follicle is a small sac (cyst) on the ovary. An egg matures inside of the follicle; when the egg is mature, the follicle bursts open and releases the egg.
