Exclusive UFC 119 Photo Gallery: Part One
(If only…)
Our talented UFC 119 photographer and comment section regular Jason "J-Dog" Wright was back at the Conseco Field House in Indianapolis Saturday night to snap some exclusive photos for us.
Except for one scary incident prior to the Mitrione-Beltran fight (which Ariel Helwani touched on in this interview with Meathead) that nearly cost us some danger pay, J-Dog made it home in one piece with some wicked shots and some great stories to tell the grandkids some day.
Jason was situated by one of the Octagon doors and as such was able to get some candid shots before, during and after each of the fights.
Check out part one of our exclusive UFC 119 photo gallery after the jump.Read More DIGG THIS

We are sorry, we have no reviews to displayWrite the first review
Convinced that rooms and interior design have a decisive influence on people's motivation, performance, and health, Vitra has made it their mission to develop furniture and furnishing systems that stimulate, inspire, and motivate, while also offering the body comfort, safety, and support. In order to attain this goal, Vitra has worked with their specialized team and renowned designers. Over the years, Vitra has exemplified that they are not afraid to experiment with new and bold ideas and eagerly anticipate and look forward to facing the new challenges of the world of work.

As part of Razuna 1.6 we launched the workflow plugin, which allows you to automate a number of tasks. I have previously written a blog post to highlight some of the possibilities with the workflow plugin.
Since then we have seen a wave of creativity amongst our customers, as they have taken the workflow plugin for a spin. One recent example is a major retail chain, who needed two things to happen as part of the upload:
1. File names should adhere to the company's naming conventions
2. Metadata (in custom fields) should be filled in automatically
With more than 300 users on Razuna, the business previously had their work cut out, when the users gave more or less creative names for the assets as well as filling in only the most important fields. Soon the "organizing" part of digital asset management became more of a janitor part and the value of the system seriously threatened.
Now – with the workflow plugin, they developed their own quality control application, which was able to ensure that stringent naming conventions were followed and necessary metadata filled in.
Call external URL action
They used the Call external URL action in Razuna, and had it triggered upon upload. What this does is that when a file is uploaded, Razuna sends the asset ID and relevant metadata to an external URL in a JSON call or as XML.
Our customer's web application then processes the data received and validates against a database, before calling back into Razuna using the API, changing the name of the file and updating the relevant metadata. And everything happens in the same go, completely transparent to the user.
I can't tell you exactly how much time they have saved or how many mistakes they have avoided, because after a few days of operation we stopped counting. The workflow plugin, which in their case was for a dedicated server, $299 per month, was paid back in less than a day.
Now available for all Razuna customers
But – as I started out writing, the workflow plugin is now available to all Razuna customers. Even customers on the hosted Razuna plans. For the $24 to $149 a month plans, you can now add the workflow plugin for $49 a month. And what does this get you?
The workflow plugin can do the following:
- Create automatic renditions
- Automatically notify users and groups
- Automatically moved uploaded files
- Call external URL
- Automatically add values to metadata field
- Automatically add values to custom fields
- Automatically add labels
- Automatically rename file
And – any combination of the above, or – using the Razuna API - just about anything you can think of.
If you are already a Razuna customer and you are interested in signing up for the workflow plugin, please contact email@example.com. If you are not yet a customer, you can sign up for the hosted version of Razuna on our website.

Repair or Replace the Roof
Is it time to repair or replace the roof?
The roof over your head takes a pounding due to weather and can become weaker with age – and it's really all that is standing between you, your belongings and the outside elements. Knowing when to repair or replace the roof is an important step toward protecting your property in a disaster.
Building science experts at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety have studied roof damage after disasters and at the IBHS Research Center. The findings have led to ways to affordable, effective ways to make a roof perform better in all kinds of weather conditions. Use the following resources to develop your own plan for creating a stronger, safer roof for your home or business.
Why Do Strong Roofs Matter?

Alma-Tadema and Victorian Painting
in the Pérez-Simón Collection
From 25 June to 12 October 2014 (extended closing date)
Trained in his native city, this German painter and printmaker was taught by his father Hans, as was his brother Ambrosius. In 1515 he was in Basel where he illustrated books, an activity that allowed him to make contact with the humanists in that city, in particular Erasmus. Between 1517 and 1519 Holbein lived in Lucerne in order to work on the decoration of the private residence of the Hertenstein family. In 1519 he was once again in Basel, where he registered with the painters' guild and acquired citizenship the following year. Between 1523 and 1524 he visited France and the Low Countries. In 1526 Holbein moved to England, bringing a letter of presentation from Erasmus written to Thomas More, Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII. During this brief stay the artist produced few commissions, including a series of portraits, among them one of the Moore family. That work is now lost but is known from a drawing in the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel and from the splendid Portrait of Thomas More of 1527 (Frick Collection, New York). In 1528 Holbein was back in Basel, where he produced various works and completed the decoration of the lobby of the Town Hall that he had begun during his previous stay. However, the prevailing atmosphere in the city and the influence of the Reformation had reduced the number of commissions available. In the summer of 1532 Holbein returned to London, where he found a more promising situation. His first clients during this second trip were members of the German community. Thomas Cromwell helped the artist by introducing him to the court and Holbein was working for Henry VIII in 1536. Dating from this period are his portraits of The Ambassadors Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve of 1533 (National Gallery, London), of Henry VIII, of members of the court, such as Sir Richard Southwell (Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence), as well as Edward, Prince of Wales (National Gallery of Art, Washington). Holbein died of the plague in the outbreak that swept London in 1543.

Hope you enjoy our adventures!
Elk Falls

From US-19, we turned Little Elk Road, immediately turned left on Old Mill Road and then an immediate right Elk River Road. This road followed the river about four miles to the parking area in the Appalachian Ranger District ...
TN/NC border
... their way through the forest ground. I arrived at Clyde Smith Shelter around 12:30. It began to rain, the wind kicked up something nasty - and so it was, I would stay there and wait for night to come. We all sat around and talked about the rain.....about how we didn't think it was a safe idea to hike out in the weather, due to the elevation and high winds (yes..we know, we were just trying to be okay our laziness....and being sissies of the rain!). ...
52 mile nonstop hike
... only the 2nd time in six years - and I was just too cold and ****** to pump more water - with the broken pump, until daybreak. If I would have pumped water, my body would not have gave me the issues. I knew better, but no real harm -no foul! After day break, I was treated to an awesome sunrise! - then more hills.... not big hills, but to water-lacking body - felt like Everest! By the last hill, I actually tossed my polls and pack down.....cussed ...
Hemlock Hollow Hostel

Shakespeare's Slapstick Classic: The Comedy of Errors
- Full Price:
- $15.00
- Our Price:

In one of Shakespeare's earliest comedic plays, two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day. Soon, multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus and his servant Dromio who, in search of their long lost brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. Recognized by strangers, the visitors begin to question their very being as the turmoil escalates. Slapstick, puns, clever word play and mistaken identity all adds up to an entertaining experience the whole family can enjoy together. Learn More

Eastern European education ministers, on a week long visit to the U.S. to examine the U.S. educational system, met with the Executive Committee of the National Governor's Association to exchange ideas on education reforms. Issues discussed by the committee and the ministers included school funding and changes in curriculum. Minister Glebocki noted that while Poland was attempting to decentralize their educational system, the U.S. was trying to centralize theirs; Gov. Gardner quickly refuted the minister's perception that the U.S. was centralizing its educational system. Minister Stefan spoke through an interpreter on the Rumanian education system's difficulties and challenges. He said the goals of Rumanian education reform included a new openness in curriculums and decentralization of the system. close

I finished reading Nayomi Munaweera's outstanding debut novel, Island of a Thousand Mirrors, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, on my way to a Buddhist pilgrimage (details to follow). It brought back memories of my first trip to Sri Lanka, in 2007, just before the end of the three-decade long bloody civil war between the government and a Tamil separatist group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which killed 100,000 and wounded and displaced many more. "This island would be paradise itself, if it weren't for the civil war," said one Sri Lankan man. This man still startled with loud noises, recoiling from the memories of bombings near his house in Colombo, fearing for his family and his own life. The war was marked with horrific atrocities on both sides. Tamil Tigers utilized child soldiers and suicide bombers, and the military carried out its own terror campaign of rape and torture (well documented in newspaper accounts and books such as Only Man is Vile, by William McGowan). While the now peaceful island is booming with tourism and growth, these traumas still fester. A "Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission" was appointed in 2010, but it largely blamed the LTTE and didn't uncover government abuses. Sri Lanka is indeed a paradise and important home to a creed that can lay a fair claim to being one of the most peace-promoting religions of mankind – yet it carries the contradiction of having one of the most brutal histories of the last half-century.
Island of a Thousand Mirrors explores the conflict through the lives of ordinary Sri Lankans. It is a captivating read, tracing the lives of Tamil and Sinhalese individuals, entwined in relationship, blood, rage and love, carrying them from tragedies to the barest blossoming of hope in the far off city of San Francisco.
Art, at its powerful best, allows us to bear witness to trauma and come to grips with awful reality. Munaweera succeeds admirably. Her words and portraits pull us closely into the experiences that news accounts might make remote or cold. This is important work. Only in the telling of trauma can we both understand and transcend it. Richard Mollica, of the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma, in Healing Invisible Wounds, writes of the importance of telling the trauma story in informing the world, and healing and empowering the traumatized individual. Exposure desensitization therapy, the most widely supported treatment for PTSD, guides individuals in retelling their trauma story until the story itself is uncoupled from strong emotions - disturbing emotion is metabolized and lifted from memory.
Addendum: Personalized and signed copies of the book are available at http://www.nayomimunaweera.com.

John McCain Tweets Urging Governor to Veto "License to Discriminate" Bill
February 24, 2014 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Today, GOP Senator John McCain added his hope for the veto of Arizona's discriminatory SB1062.
I hope Governor Brewer will veto #SB1062
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) February 24, 2014
McCain joins a growing number of elected officials who are speaking out against the so-called "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," including Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Ron Barber.
Should Governor Jan Brewer allow the "License to Discriminate" bill to become law, any individual, corporation, institution, or business organization may be permitted to refuse services to LGBT people on the basis of religious freedom.
SB1062 aims to legally sanction discrimination against not only the LGBT community, but also women. For example, a business owner whose religion tells him that women shouldn't work outside the home could refuse to sell her a business suit or to seat a woman celebrating a promotion at work in a restaurant.
To make your voice heard, contact Governor Brewer here, or text AZ to 30644 to directly connect to her office.

Final Fantasy Hentai, submitted by Alex. The usual repository of multiple penetration / hermaphroditic fantasy / tentacle rape Japanese pornography, with the small twist that it all is based on the Final Fantasy series of video games. If you've always wondered what that sprite / polygonal model would look like with novelty oversized breasts, look no further.
This is a Final Fantasy 7 hentai doujinshi. It contains Yuffi & Cloud hentai story. She climbed on a tree and looked down Cloud. She is trying to get the Materia from Cloud. A small monster appears to her. The pretty monster theat her that he is rape her. She laughes, but she will notice taht she is surrounded by many of them. The small monsters ripes her cloth and rapes her. Cloud comes to her. He uses the monster to rape her. He also knows that she is chasing the Materia. he asks her whether she likes to have the materia. She says "yes", so Cloud puts the materia into her crutch.
Sounds like fun. You know, I've never played any of those video games, but now I am thinking that maybe I should give one a try.

The Top Benefits of Social Media Marketing [INFOGRAPHIC]
Posted on July 1st 2013
89% of marketers say that social media generates more business exposure
There are a million articles and blog posts out there that sing the praises of social media marketing — how social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest have had a major impact on lead generation and sales. If you follow my blog, you know that I've written a lot of them myself. Wouldn't it be nice to have an easy way to to see some proof and hard numbers to back up the claims?
Social Media Examiner recently released its 2013 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, which set out to uncover the "who, what, where, when, and why" of social media marketing. More that 3,000 marketers were surveyed, and their responses provide valuable insights into the benefits of social media marketing.
Wishpond, a maker of online marketing tools, created an infographic that nicely illustrates the study's results. If you need to convince decision makers in your company that they should give social media marketing a try, keep this image on hand.
Here are the top benefits that companies are seeing from social media marketing:
- 89% of respondents said that social media marketing has generated more business exposure
- 64% saw lead generation increase by using social media 6 hours or less per day
- 69% of marketers use social media to gather marketplace intelligence
- 62% of marketers using social media for 2+ years reported a rise in search engine rankings
- 62% of businesses with 10 employees or less reported that social media has reduced marketing expenses
The Top Benefits of Social Media Marketing [Infographic] is a post by Pam Dyer on Pamorama | Social Media Marketing Blog.
This is a very cool inforgraphic! This just goes to show that social media marketing has been on the rise and will continue to rise and thrive as ways to help get your brand or service get recognized. More people have created and used social media accounts every day, all from around the world, and a company should focus on social media marketing anyway that they can. With all of the high numbers that are presented here, there is no way any company should be without some sort of social media marketing strategy.
Hi Pam,
I'm inclined to totally agree with your postulations. From all indications, the search engines are moving in favour of social media. For instance, I did my reseach and observed that websites, articles that creates a brand on Google plus ( having more followers, constant sharing of updates on the social media) tend to do very well on Google SERP.
Most search engine optimization consultant needs to embrace this in their conculting profession.
I am gradually embracing this concept as I aim to make my website viable.
I really appreciate the information above and they're correct a 100%, but there need to be hard work and also some team work. This whole process might take time but it will surely give you the benefits.
Hi Pam, I was kinda confused on the info but I do understand them all. I am a new marketer and you're right Pam, I do use social networking sites to generate traffics to my site. But sad to say, I need tools to do and search the right keywords intended for my business. I have found the Colibri (http://colibritool.com/) and they have free trial period as well. Now, what I am trying to say is that, is this tool okay to use? Hence my colleagues have been using this one for their businesses and they recommended this to me. But before I will user this one, I do seek for your advice. Thanks

The team at Waverly Advisors has put together a fantastic presentation of the market and economic charts that everyone is watching around these themes.
They write:
Put simply, China can't save the world, the EU can't fix what is broken without feeling more pain (although leadership there appears to finally to be moving in the correct direction), and the US looks like the least dysfunctional of the primary wealthy economies -if only by a modest margin.

In the past, most heart surgeries were performed to improve heart function but not necessarily correct the underlying defect. Then, starting in the 1970s, our Cardiac Surgery team began to develop ways to actually correct the underlying defect and restore the full functionality of the heart. This work continues today.
Science and technology have come so far that we can actually create a more normal anatomy—a close-to-normal physiology of the heart. One example involves the tried-and-true Fontan procedure for a child with only one functioning ventricle. We have learned over time that this operation—while very good—does not carry the child into his 20s or 30s without problems. Our researchers have recently identified ways to create a two-ventricle physiology for the child—to help the heart function fully and normally for decades.
Changing the outcomes of these heart defects is the driving force behind all of our innovations.

Ole Miss redshirt sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche could return for the Rebels' Saturday showdown with the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Hugh Freeze said in the SEC Teleconference (with transcript via 247sports).
"He went through practice yesterday," Freeze said during the teleconference. "The big test was this morning to see if there would be a lot of swelling in the knee. We were pleased to find he didn't have hardly any. So, we feel very good about it.
"He'll go through practice again tonight and we'll check it again Thursday morning. If Thursday morning he looks like he did this morning he'll be ready to go."
Nkemdiche's return would be huge for an Ole Miss defense that already ranks 33rd in the nation in total defense. The linebacker was injured in the team's opener against Vanderbilt and was expected to miss four to six weeks, putting his recovery on the shorter side of that window if he plays against the Tide.
The game will be a tough test for a Rebels team that has jumped out to an impressive 3-0 start and a No. 21 ranking in both polls. Alabama are 15-point favorites in the game, but while the Tide have scored more than 38 points per game, they rank just 85th in the country in total offense.
The return of Nkemdiche could exacerbate any potential offensive problems for the Tide, who certainly have not had troubles outscoring opponents. The linebacker was a preseason all-conference selection after recording 82 tackles (13 for a loss) with three interceptions, four fumbles forced and five passes broken up last season.
Junior Serderius Bryant has started at Ole Miss's Stinger position (strong outside linebacker) in place of Nkemdiche, and is still listed as their starter in the school's latest depth chart. Bryant leads the team with 26 tackles on the year, including four for a loss, and the Rebels would love to be able to utilize both linebackers against T.J. Yeldon, A.J. McCarron and the Alabama offense.

ROARING RIVER, Westmoreland — Tourism and Entertainment Minister Wykeham Mc Neill has vowed to revive the once vibrant Roaring River attraction in Westmoreland, citing the economic benefits that can be derived from the facility.
"I am committed, the member of parliament (Roger Clarke) is committed, the parish council is committed........ we are going to move forward to make something happen here," said McNeill."You can't have 250,000 visitors coming to Negril, hundreds of thousands coming to Montego Bay and have an attraction of this beauty sitting here and you don't have it doing what it should be doing. We are going to make it happen".
The tourism and entertain minister was speaking recently during a tour of the attraction which once boasted gift shops, restaurants which catered to visitors, and bathroom facilities.
He was accompanied by officials from his ministry, including the permanent secretary Jennifer Griffiths; Member of Parliament for Central Westmoreland, Roger Clarke and councillor for the Petersfield Division, Donald Gordon.
After a tour of the Roaring River Cave and Blue Hole in the community, the team met with area residents who have long expressed concern about the lack of business at the facility.
During the meeting Mc Niel pointed out that the attraction— with its natural cave, lagoon and mineral spring— is of great importance to the tourism product and must operate at a standard where it can deliver economic benefits to the people in the area.
"We are not benefiting from it in the way that we should be benefiting; we have to do something about it," he argued.
The Roaring River Park was constructed by the Tourism Product Development Company (TPDCo) about a decade ago, but over the years the amenity has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Last year, operations at the facility came to a halt due to its dilapidated state.
But McNeill argued that reviving the tourism activities in Roaring River forms part of Government's plan to provide attractions aimed at enhancing community tourism.
"We don't want the visitors to just come and stay in a hotel and don't have anywhere to go. If we actually going to reap the benefits from tourism, it means that we want the visitors to go out in the community to spend money and that is what we are going to do. We are going to have the attractions for them to go and see," he explained.

OLYMPIC TRIALS: Tyner, Anderson represent Brainerd well
How many Minnesota cities with a population of about 14,000 had two athletes compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials?
Brainerd can make that claim as Brainerd High School graduates Justin Tyner and Jared Anderson competed in the Trials the last week in June.
Tyner wound up 22nd overall in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, 11th in his heat, with a time of 8:53.92. The Air Force Academy standout said he had a "tough day" in the event, which was run at the University of Oregon.

A properly-functioning free market, in general, allocates resources better than any other system, including a government. Having the government in control of half of GDP therefore is a large net loss (perhaps 5-20% of GDP) to a country, as inefficiency and waste consume what could be put to more efficient use by the market, if only they could pry it out of the government's hand...
James Gatz and Spectacularj1:
Businesses are greedy. All they care about is profit. In order for them to make that, they have to persuade me to give them money for what they are selling. In other words, they have to produce something I want. Their greed leads to them trying to best serve me. (Or, it leads to them trying to coerce, cut corners, become a monopoly, and similar behaviors. These are legitimately within the scope of government restriction.)
Governments are greedy, too. They want more power and more money. To get more money, they need to pass a bill.
From which is my wallet in greater danger?
Why is this even debated? The size of the federal government is prescribed in the Constitution, and limited by the 10th amendment. It's in English, read it. (paraphrasing): all powers not specifically enumerated are reserved to the people and to the states. We have a specific blueprint for the operation of this country. It is the herd instinct; the desire of the ruminants who populate our nation to be dominated that has caused the massive expansion of the government which intrudes into every aspect of our lives. I defy anyone to read the federal register..or the tax code in its entirety. Our system is a farce, filled with non-choices and peopled by strawmen. Nothing changes, and nothing ever gets done.
And re: the corporation bits. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fairly happy with the availability of goods and services here in the US, and the costs thereof. I disagree with and abhor our enrichment of china, and would gladly pay another $2 for a 6-pack of socks from the Walmart if they were made in the US, but there again, the government has caused manufacturing to go overseas with its punitive regulations and taxation, and has failed to protect american national interests when other countries manipulate currencies and steal intellectual property. Read Pat Buchanan once in a while to figure it out.
I disagree with promoting too much individualism. Individuals make up businesses, families and society. Without family there is no society. Without society there is no culture and no morals. Look at our kids who are busy with their computer games, internet surfing facebook and so on while both parents work all day. Economic and social reforms start with the individual, but you cannot force the individual to be moral when the legal system promotes abortion and divorce. A materialist society will not survive. Look at the morality of people then judge!
Dear bigkona,
"Post hoc ergo propter hoc" reasoning.
To reduce the size of government:
1. Rather than gather general tax dollars from taxpayers, then pay them back as benefits, change the model to one where taxpayers must set aside their own money in their own accounts for health/unemployment/retirement, and only subsidize the poor from tax dollars. When money does not pass through the government's hands, less of it disappears, and Leviathon diminishes.
2. Give choices to individuals, and let them keep some of the money if money is saved. Health care should not be ruinous for the sick, but it should cost more than it does for the healthy. Those who are never unemployed should contribute less in unemployment insurance.
3. Fees for everything possible. Use the power of information technology to assign the cost of 'public' services to those who use them. Wherever possible, avoid monopolies.
Much of this has been tried (at least in the UK and US) over the last 30 years, and numerous practical problems and political unpopularity has been encountered. It's still worth pushing ahead.
The sad fact is the US spends more than any other nation on Health and has a lot less to show for it. If you are spending per capita more than twice than the French but getting substantially less for it - something is rotten. Maybe the Economist should do the unthinkable and consider looking at cutting out the billions wasted on lobby flab in Washington rather than insisting the long suffering low income groups must expect even less social provision than they get already. I'm not saying that the whole sprawling ghastly system of State and Federal Gov't isn't hopelessly in need of new vision and better admin' but I am saying that when effectively their decisions are being made, based on the biggest spends of the lobby - true Democracy for the people of the people and by the people can't begin to work effectively.
Can we have a British Tea Party?
Spectacularj1's comments were so dead on that it made me want to cry (metaphorically). This comment is ten times better than the original article and reflects the entire reason (in my opinion) democratic socialism argues for "larger government". It isn't that socialists think the government is perfect or blameless, it is that the corporate greed and interest is so disgusting and vile and they don't even try to hide it (they will tell you to your face that all they care about is profit).
Corporations create wealth. Governments consume it.
I vote on corporations every day when I decide where to spend (or not spend) my money. I vote on my government, at most, every two years.
Contrary to current thought, the failure of any one corporation (however painful in the short-term) won't end society as we know it as smarter, better competitors will step into their shoes. The failure of my government would be catostrophic for my society and the replacement would not be guaranteed to be better as it would either be completely new, or, originate from outside the society.
We need both corporations and government.
Based on this, I'll take the corporations as the majority share and government in a supporting role anyday.
@ Spectacularj1
"The government's interest is (not) making a profit but is welfare of the people" (I assumed you had a not in there)
Anyway, your logic fails. The governments interest is not welfare of the people, it's welfare of the politicans and special interests.
If your prejudice is to make the state smaller, why support Obama ?
The problem isn't really big government or small government; it's what the government is doing. I want the government to be there to ensure that environment is clean, that laws are enforced, and that the citizens have health care.
Strange how so many people accept "big government" for law enforcement and the military but think it's tyranny if they try to clean your tap water.
Take a moment to reflect on what the US might look like under a McCain administration: any reason to think it would look much different? Especially its foreign commitments?
The point about government is not size but responsiveness and smart spending. If your trophy room doesn't have at least one Hoover in it, you haven't been doing your homework.
Consider what was handed to Obama when he took the Presidential oath, and I challenge you to show where Krugman et al were wrong to point out that nmuch more should have been done.
Keep going. The State is a bad manager of business or banking. But who says that the State is the best at redistributing. Why did the State crowd out charities and churches and local communities and set up Behemoths of government departments of minimum wages, unemployment benefit, support for single mothers, etc etc? Or education? Or Transport, for Heaven's sake. We should question evrything that government has been asked to do by socialists. Easy for them to spend other people's money, or indeed money that does not exist- as we shall now suffer. The State is as huge in Britain as it was in the USSR.
"Public-sector pensions are far too generous, in comparison with shrunken private-sector ones."
Why does the Economist always state the fact that public-sector pensions are more generous than private-sector ones in this way? Why is it never, "Private-sector pensions are far too miserly, in comparison with magnanimous public-sector ones"?
It used to be government vs. the market. But the market no longer functions, massive, multi-nation conglomerates have severely restricted competition.
Boycotting is not always practical or even possible. Try boycotting companies that have their products made in China.
While the effect of the vote is miniscule, it's we've got.
Probably the Economist is afraid of a Leviathan that looks like the Chinese state or the deceased Socialist states. But as long as there are laws in place that are upheld, this is not very likely to happen anytime soon in the West.
The growth of governments (which seems to be only in the increase of assets owned by governments, which so far are acting rather like passive shareholders - and if salaries and bonuses of CEOs of these companies are somewhat regulated, this is really the purview of the shareholders and nothing TE will argue can change people's minds - as one of the recent debates have shown) that TE is deploring has less to do with birocracies within the government than with the failure of the markets and of the overgrown financial sector, that now eats the economy (as Adam Smith, your Saint Patron famously put it).
Also, as TE rightly noticed, citizens want safety nets and protection, and Continental Europe managed to do that balancing the needs of their citizens with the imperatives of the economy. The failure to do so in the States has less to do with big gov than to a too liberal or dysfunctional economy.
As for the comment made by Dubhglas, I think it is extremly pertinent, and one must pay heed to it. Nature, the bigest and most relentless econimzer and designer of efficient systems polished by billions of years of trial and error, should be copied. When good monitoring and control stops, cancer starts.
The rise of "Big Government" is in large measure the result of failure by the people and the press. Neither of these two essential protectors of freedom and democracy have responsibly applied a knowledge of history to current events in the last century or so, most especially during the last few Obamaniacal years in the United States. The people must be informed rather than entertained. The press must inform rather than advocate. These goals require a greater individual responsibility than either show at this time.
@ newman1a: I like the way you put it.
Am I missing something? It appears the theme of discussion here is big state vs big corporation. Granted big corporations are powerful employers, but I was udner the impression that small businesses are, combined, the biggest employers. I would have preferred a discussion on big government vs the "market". Across the broad spectrum of industry how big a role do the monopolies play? If the US's biggest employer, Walmart, goes belly up tomorrow, will that mean that the USA will no longer be able to buy goods or will costco and the rest quickly step in?
I like the topic of this article and the discussion on how government is needed - but not too much (pure Keynes). Where is the healthy line and how do we measure it? I would like to imagine that there is a measurement model for a healthy way forward.... I look forward to more discussion on this topic from the Economist.

It sounds like a lot of the drama in your life is from your boyfriend's girlfriend.
How are you doing with your feelings of jealousy, etc? How is the relationship between you and your boyfriend if you take the other-girlfriend-drama out of the picture? How is their relationship otherwise, if you take your involvement out of the picture?
Do you have any concerns that him moving from primary with her to primary with you, and now looking for a new girlfriend, may eventually lead to primary with new girlfriend?
If their relationship is falling apart "because" of his polyamory, then there are probably communication issues. It's impossible for me to say whether they're his or hers or most likely both. If their relationships is just falling apart anyway, and she's lashing out because you're something to lash out at, then stick with it.
At the end of the day, whether or not things work out with him, I wouldn't give up on poly. If you have the capacity to love more than one person, then it's just a question of developing communication and time management skills.
It's inevitable that some of your poly relationships will fail, just like all of your past monogamous relationships failed. If every relationship worked out on the first try, we would all be married to that boy/girl from grade 8
: my husband (works out of town).
: my girlfriend (lives with her husband Zoffee).
The most dangerous phrase in the English language is "we've always done it this way."

I could make a list about 500 pages long. Just about every band seems to get to the point where they put out a disappointing album and it's all down hill from there. I'll list a couple:
Old School
Metallica - The Black SHIT album,(Nice production on 'Justice' by the way..ekk)
Megadeth - Whatever that garbage is after Rust In Peace
Anthrax - Whatever that shit was after Among the Living
Testament - Whatever that shit was after Practice What You Preach (Fuck it, I like that album.)
Slayer can do no wrong, and fuck you if you disagree.
Middle School
Napalm Death - Anything after Harmony Corruption with a few exceptions
Obituary - Anything after Cause of Death
Carcass - Anything after Necroticism
Entombed -Anything between Clandestine and Morning Star (TRSSASTT was ok.)
Sepultura - As someone already said, do I even have to say it?
Godflesh for breaking up....and fuck you if you disagree.
Morbid Angel and Death can do no wrong, and fuck you if you disagree.
New Bitches
So far so good. With a few exceptions. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I was disgusted with. Mostly it's the fuckers who have been around for a billion years who piss me off.
Random Shit
Tool: I don't even know what that crap after Aenema is supposed to be.
Primus: Let's just forget about the Brown Album and move on, ok?
Faith No More and Mr. Bungle: Can do no wrong, and a triple Fuck You if you disagree.
By the way:
Moe, I barely ever touch Prometheus, I dig IX Equilibrium though, Prometheus has its moments but definetly doesn't beg for replaying like the eariler stuff.
I don't get why people hate Prometheus so much. I actually like that album a lot. Granted. IX Equilibrium does blow, but Prometheus is pretty fucking good imo. None of them match Anthems by a long shot, but, oh well.
