As a senior citizen from Washington State, I am completely appalled by the actions of Israel, the United States, and its military, in its treatment of unarmed, unprotected, civilians! The most powerful nation on the earth did nothing to help these humane and compassionate people! This is insane! The US must be implicated in the deaths of innocents because we would not act to protect them. The President, Vice President, and Secretary of state, and all Americans, have been made to look just like fools, in front of our own citizens, and the rest of the world, by the Israel governments actions! This military action by Israel is worse than the treatment of Iraqi's by Saddam Hussein, because the whole world knew we were going to allow them to kill innocent individuals who were only trying to help ease Palestinian suffering…and we did nothing?? (As I hope you remember, the Kurds were gassed with the American military s help, and behind the backs of the American people).We did not know about the massacre of the Kurds until much later.
I do not want you to support any actions like this when they are taken by Israel against any country that has not attacked Israel! If I do not hear much about this from you and the other senators and congressmen, or if you take no action on this to let Israel know this must be corrected right now, then I will know that you no longer represent me! When the time comes I will vote accordingly, and lobby (protest) fiercely, to make sure you are not re-elected. My vote, and my political activism, is all that I have and I hope you are able to understand that! I will work with you if the reverse is also true. It had better be true though!
PLEASE!!!Do something about Israel's boot being stomped into the bodies of the Palestinian women and children, and men! Their only crime is not being jewish! I am not a jew either, and I would not want to be… and by their actions I do not think I could ever consider their religion as anything but socialized insanity!
I understand now that our government is really only interested in being in countries that have valuable resources, and that we are only interested in stealing all of their natural resources using military, and economic terror, leaving them in a terrible situation so that they have to acquiesce to our monstrous demands.
Tell Israel to stop this nonsense right now or the United States will become the enemy of their actions in the middle east. I dare you to act like you represent me!
I, personally, think most politicians are just trying to start another war in the middle east for the wealthy arms contractors of this world. You spend all of our hard earned wealth on wars overseas and cut all of our domestic programs for yet more money for your horrible wars, and you completely lie about and ignore the terrible situation that American's are in right now! It is just not as important as wealth creation for the already wealthy, is it?
It is super obvious that not one of you elected officials gives one (s)hit about this country or its people. If you did, something would get done! Just look around! No jobs…but yet you send representatives overseas to try to get other countries to manufacture what we could make here! You do this BEHIND OUR BACKS!!! You allow the American media to be completely co-opted so that the lies of those you really represent, the wealthy, are more effective. You close American factories and buy overseas for profits, all the while knowing that you are killing the American economy. You could reopen these American factories and employ Americans right now…but you do not want to upset your wealthy patrons who are depending upon you to keep us in the dark, and very poor! It has just become cheaper to lie to the American people, hasn't it, and aren't you folks all for more insane profits for your billionaire buddies?
You cannot argue with this truth because you cannot hide it from us...we have to live in this dying country! And it is dying because you people will not do your work for the people you were elected to represent…not bury, but represent!!
All of you in the senate and congress are sending a terrible message to the people of this country. A message that you are incapable of governing according to the constitution, according to the real tenets of our law as it was written!. What do you expect us to do? Are we supposed to just do nothing and watch you sell off to the highest bidder everything America stands for? Those are fighting words you are saying to me!
I am extremely concerned that there is no one that we have elected, anywhere, even in our highest offices, in this country, that has the humanity to object to, and act upon, what has happened in Palestine, the West Bank, and Gaza, and on memorial day to say the least. This is a very telling statement about the aims of American diplomacy in the middle east….THERE ISN'T ANY! It is all about wealth creation!
You are not my heros, but you are my enemies!
We see what you are doing in congress every day and it is making us all, every American, sick!
Why are you letting everyone break the law? The bankers break the law, and the politicians break the law, and the hedge fund managers break the law, and these people defraud us of trillions of dollars and you do nothing…..NOTHING?
except lie to us, for them!
We are not stupid and we know that you don't represent us because you just told us so!!!!.

But if we do trade him will we even get anything decent back? Also read that we maybe going after Carl Landry. Also if we don't go after Landry I think we should go after Earl Clark his stats last year were pretty good and I think he can play the 3 and 4. What are your guys thoughts on all of this?

AMARILLO, TEXAS - A kid's water gun is about the only moisture Vanessa Robinson's grass has seen lately.
"It can't stand the heat anyway. So the more water I put on it, it didn't matter," she said.
Vanessa basically stopped watering after getting a bill last month for $206.
"I knew then I had to cut back on some of the things I was doing," she said.
Vanessa also now takes shorter showers and reduced how often she does laundry and uses the dishwasher. People like her helped lead to just 73.6 million gallons of water being used Monday, down from a high of about 90 million earlier in the month - numbers that have Mayor Paul Harpole saying there's a "promising beginning" to the city's water conservation campaign that launched two weeks ago.
"I'd like to see it continue to go down. I'm not trying to be really negative, I'm being realistic. Sometimes you'll see a droop in demand, and then sometimes you'll see it bounce back again," Water Department Head Emmett Autrey said.
The city manager admits a big part of that is because they turned off most of their own sprinklers at parks and public buildings.
"We have to realize this is not a normal year. And their are limits to what our system can do," Autrey said.
But the city's pretty sure when June's bills go out:
"Some people are going to be very shocked at how much their water costs," Autrey said.
A lot more people will start conserving like Vanessa.

No peak at the summit
THE recent summit of racing aficionados, as was expected, was nothing more than a talking shop, with the headlines dominated by Minister Horace Dalley's "Caymanas Park will not be sold cheaply" comment. There was nothing concrete, certainly from the media coverage, of any assessment much less solutions being reached to aid what is an industry in obvious decline.
Since the heydays of the 1980s, the 1990s and the early 2000s, horse racing has steadily lost its appeal and its inherent allure. The industry plods on from raceday to raceday without any apparent effort from major stakeholders to confront the major issues and to make bold decisions to combat the palpable decline. Sponsorship of racing is at an all-time low, as corporate Jamaica invariably finds other avenues to spend their promotional dollars. Imagine, major races including the much vaunted Classics being run without sponsorship presence. This is a very hard and bitter pill to swallow.
The racing plant can now accurately be given the label of irredeemable. No amount of cash, no elevator from the ground floor to 'Glass House', no amount of flowers planted in the infield, or other cosmetic repairs can really and truly resuscitate Caymanas Park. Only a complete overhaul will suffice at this stage.
Let's be honest, Caymanas Park (that is, the plant) is now and has been for a long time a reflection of the various social maladies afflicting life in Jamaica. The track is surrounded by a number of challenged communities which makes it a security a nightmare. The general appearance of the plant, in the view of this writer, is beyond repair. The pride is gone. Stables are an eyesore, roads need rehabilitation and the general cleanliness usually associated with any well-run and operated racetrack is simply not there. Owners think thrice before they take family members to visit the racetrack to view their horses on a Sunday.
The promoters of racing simply do not have the money to make the changes necessary and Mr Dalley should recognise this incontrovertible fact. Investors are not exactly brimming with enthusiasm to cough up millions to promote horse-racing and to renovate the plant. The only investors really interested in buying Caymanas Park are housing developers who only see approximately 200 acres of land where they can build low-income houses.
We all know the ills besetting racing. But what is/are the solution(s)? Is there a panacea? Given the present unsightly spectacle of Caymanas Park, the only logical solution is to build a new racetrack. Start anew with private ownership and promotion, the same track size, new stable area administered by strict rules, for example, no hanging of cloth, etc on stable fences, and stands more befitting a clientele, which have never abandoned the industry.
Government as the owner of the racing plant should seriously seek and consider bids, local and foreign, for the building of a new racetrack. Give incentives, including tax allowances to the successful bidder in order to once and for all, elevate racing to its true status of a leading employer of labour in the country. Package the deal properly, detailing the requirements, incentives and invite the bidders. If this process is successful, the government could then convert the present Caymanas Park into a multi-purpose stadium for the people of Portmore or sell the land to the housing developers... the former is preferred. If this is not possible, in the long run, racing will face an almost certain doom.
Naturally the question is where to build the new racetrack? This writer prefers the new racetrack to be as close as possible to Kingston and Portmore to benefit from a larger population spread and the love for racing in these areas which has been generated and developed over the last 50 years. So then where? Just a thought, what about where the racetrack was originally to be built, on the Caymanas Estate somewhere between the present Polo Club and the Ferry Police Station. This area, according to reports from the past, was not chosen as it was deemed to be a space of too much rainfall. Given the new technologies that currently exist and a good sand track as at present location, rain should not be a problem anymore.
This is but a suggestion. Wherever the place that is eventually chosen, the hard cold fact is that the present plant has to be replaced and quickly too if racing is to retain its profitability, rebrand itself, gain further sponsorship and glory.

The Czech Republic are through to the finals of Euro 2012, though not without some good fortune. Due to the 2-0 lead they picked up at home, they were expected to progress rather easily into the finals. They defeated Montenegro 1-0 away from home to advance 3-0 on aggregate, but the score is flattering to the Czechs. They struggled in defense throughout the second leg, giving up a number of chances. Montenegro could have scored five or six times over, but their finishing was absolutely woeful.
Mirko Vucinic and Stefan Jovetic were in the thick of most of the chances as would be expected, but they just couldn't hit the target. Vucinic had two very clear headers in the second half on which he should have scored, hitting the crossbar in the 48th minute and missing an absolute sitter in the 55th minute. Not long after the first miss, Michael Kadlec went studs up into Vucinic's Achilles on a tackle, a clear red card offense. The referee, inexplicably, didn't see a foul.
Montenegro continued to create chances throughout the second half until they were eventually made to pay for their misses and they men they committed forward. Petr Jiracek scored the dagger for the Czechs in the 82nd minute, finishing from 12 yards off of a low cross by Zdenek Pospech. The Czech Republic are deservedly through to the finals, but they will likely be serious underdogs in their group.

As per request by the incomparable Ramsrock, it is time to see which NFL coach we at TST love to hate. But first a quick re-cap of the most hated team poll.
The Patriots "won" the most hated NFL team poll, garnering 26% of the vote, followed closely by the 49ers (25%) and the Seahawks (24%). The Cowboys finished a distant 4th, with 8% of the vote. Nothing surprising in those numbers to me. The Patriots cheated the Rams out of a Superbowl title and a place in history, changing the trajectory of both teams that day. If anyone thinks that feeling isn't prevalent even amongst former Rams players, then check out Marshall Faulk's tweet about the "robbers getting robbed" in regards to the no-call at the end of last nights Patriots-Panthers game. The 49ers are the Rams oldest and fiercest rival and would easily be the most hated were it not for the "robbers" from Boston. The Seahawks make sense as a close 3rd because they have been the most successful team in the NFC West since divisional realignment after the 2001 season, winning the NFC West 5 times, and making the playoffs 7 times overall since then, including 1 Superbowl appearance. Those 7 playoff appearances by the Seahawks since 2002 equals the total playoff appearances of the Rams, Cardinals, and 49ers combined in that same span. Now, If this poll were taken pre-2001 the 49ers win in a landslide. The Cowboys probably take 2nd place pre-2001, as they weren't that far removed from their 3 Superbowl titles in the 90's, and they still came in 4th today even though they only have 1 playoff win and have been nothing more than a .500 team over the past 17 seasons. That's how getting robbed of a Superbowl coupled with divisional realignment can impact a fans perspective I guess. Anyway, on to the coaches.
I will list some of today's current crop of head coaches, and will throw in several of the more memorable coaches from both the NFL's past, and the Rams' past in particular. The following list is fairly comprehensive, but obviously I've left out several coaches of note. If there is anyone you don't see on the list but they're on top of yours, feel free to call them out in the comments. For what it's worth, my money is on Bill Bellichick and Jim Harbaugh finishing one and two in the competition for most hated. Does that mean I think these guys are bad coaches? No, I think both are good coaches. I just don't like their demeanor, or what I see as a lack of integrity (Spygate anyone?) and respect for the game. Of course there are a couple of dark-horse candidates on the list... So, Who do you love to hate?

A goal from an unlikely source has Atletico Madrid 15 minutes away from the Copa del Rey title and their first victory over their city rivals Real Madrid in nearly fourteen years.
Real Madrid used all three of their subs as extra time began withÁngel Di María, Álvaro Arbeloa and Gonzalo Higuain all entering the fray. Diego Simeone decided to stick with the same players that completed regular time.
Diego Costa came ever so close to giving Atletico a lead in the 95th minute making a fantastic run on the right and splitting the Madrid defense as he ran onto a perfectly placed ball from Koke. Despite being basically one-on-one with Diego Lopez, Costa couldn't score, mis-hitting his chance allowing the Madrid goalkeeper to make a save.
Atletico kept up the pressure, looking much the better side after the restart and deservedly took a lead in the 98th minute. Again Koke was involved in setting up the chance, this time sending a wicked cross to the near post from the right that was directed past Lopez by defender Miranda with a glancing header.
Gonzalo Higuain was spectacularly denied by Thibaut Courtois in the 105th minute after a poor back pass by Atletico dropped into the box, allowing HIguain to unleash a short range volley that Courtiois somehow kept out of the back of the net with a brilliant kick save.
There are 15 minutes left to play and should Real Madrid find the equalizer, we'll head to penalty kicks.

Backstage In Milan-------
At the somewhat melancholic Jil Sander show Friday, Auguste Tomasuite cried her way down the catwalk. Was it an allergy? A fight with her boyfriend? Or had she just had it with shoes that weren't really made for human feet? As we sifted through other backstage scenes we found other models in better moods. Isabeli Fontana, behind the scenes at Blumarine, was thinking about food. "As soon as the plane hits the ground at Malpensa all I can think about is pasta, with a good simple tomato sauce," the model said dreamily, revealing that her favorite Milanese eatery is La Brisa, a restaurant so in love with celebrities that a photomontage of them hangs in the window like a trophy. At Cavalli, Chanel Iman declared that scooping up discounts is her preferred Milanese pastime: "Dmagazine Outlet on Via Montenapoleone is great. I managed to get a gorgeous military-style Balenciaga jacket there knocked down to €500." (That price might not be available to everyone—Iman did admit to a little haggling.) And at the Dsquared² show we found CSI actor and heartthrob Gary Dourdan, who, he told us, wasn't in town for a crime scene but to see the shows and to indulge in his hobby, architectural photography.

British vote on same-sex marriage sparks fresh debate in Australia
There are fresh calls for Australia's political leaders to support gay marriage after Britain took a major step towards legalisation.
BRITAIN'S move to legalise gay marriage has sparked fresh calls for Australia to follow suit.
A same-sex marriage bill passed its first hurdle in the British House of Commons by 400 votes to 175. The bill must now pass the House of Lords – the equivalent of the Senate – before becoming law.
The breakthrough on Wednesday quickly reignited the gay marriage debate in Australia.
Australian Greens MP Adam Bandt said Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott – both of whom oppose gay marriage – risked being on the wrong side of history.
"If Catholic Spain can allow people to marry each other regardless of their gender, if Britain can do it, if the president of the United States of America thinks it is time to change, then Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott should back it as well," Mr Bandt said.
"This is a matter of not if, but when."
Australian gay rights activistPeter Tatchell wants Opposition Leader Tony Abbott to follow the lead of British Prime Minister David Cameron who is one of the driving forces behind the change.
"If the British conservatives can support same-sex marriage why can't Tony Abbott and the Liberals," Mr Tatchell told AAP.
"I'm hoping the legislation of gay marriage in Britain will embolden more Australian politicians to take a stand for marriage equality.
"Discrimination is not an Australian value."
The same-sex marriage bill passed its first hurdle in the House of Commons on Monday by 400 votes to 175.
But conservatives were split down the middle with more than 100 Tory MPs voting against the bill after Mr Cameron allowed a free vote.
The legislation passed the second reading stage with the support of Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
A push for same-sex marriage in Australia was defeated in 2012 when Mr Abbott, opposed to change, refused to allow coalition MPs a conscience vote.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is against gay marriage although her Labor party supports changing the Marriage Act.
She allowed caucus a conscience vote.
In a televised statement before Monday's vote, Mr Cameron said allowing same-sex marriage would "make our society stronger".
Culture Secretary Maria Miller insisted the government's proposals would protect freedom of faith and extend equality.
But Tory MP Matthew Offord said he was concerned about "where the legislation may lead".
"The evidence from around the world is that once marriage is redefined with a flexible definition pressure always grows for re-definition," he told the Commons.
Dr Offord said in Holland three-way relationships had been given legal recognition and in Canada there'd been attempts to legalise polygamy through the courts using same-sex legislation.
During the Australian debate last year, Liberal senator Cory Bernardi was forced to resign as Mr Abbott's parliamentary secretary after suggesting same-sex marriage could lead to the legalisation of polygamy and bestiality.
Immediately after the vote, Conservative rebels said the battle was far from over with the bill yet to go to the House of Lords.
The legislation would allow couples who are the same sex to get married in England and Wales.
Currently they only have the option of a civil partnership.
Australian Marriage Equality national convener Rodney Croome said the majority of Australians would be pleased to see such resounding support for gay marriage from a country like Britain.
"But this will be tinged with embarrassment that Australia is falling further behind and may soon be the only developed, English-speaking country without marriage equality," he said.
Mr Croome predicted many Australian couples would travel to Britain, or even use UK consulates at home, to marry if the British bill became law.
"It is sad that these couples will not have their marriages recognised under the law of the country they live in," he said. -Â AAP

All these places where Marriage and Family are under attack by politicians attempting to radically redefine them, well they should be put on notice that People of Faith will Unite and vote in a new Faith Based breed of politician that respects what is Sacred. The places where these attacks on Life, Family, and Marriage are taking place are France, Ireland, UK, Phillipines, US, Costa Rica, Peru and others. Catholics, Muslims, Christians, aboriginal tribes, Jews, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians can and will Unite to protect what is Sacred.
Interesting that an Ozzie knows my country better than I do, so we Dutch have legal 3-way relationships ?… Why did no one tell us before? Thanks Mr. Offord.

Got this from another BA as a "thank you" for some bottles I gave him some time ago.
Poured from a growler into a pint glass. Pours your typical jet black with, with a substantial 3-4 finger espresso-like crema foam head. Head subsides rather quickly, but the pint leaves mad lacing behind as it recedes down the depths of the glass. The smell is pretty plain. Nothing really distinguishable. The taste has a very pronounced smokiness to it. That smokiness is met some some caramel, vanilla, oak, and a shit load of booze. This is not a very well hidden 9.1% ABV at all. Very alcohol forward. The mouthfeel is thick and creamy, but again, that alcohol is prominent. It coats the tongue, and lingers in the throat long after a sip. Overall, this is a decent enough stout. It's always a joy to get to try a growler of beer that's brewery only from some place you'd likely never set foot inside.

A- Pours a black color with a nice foamy brown head. Head has good retention and leaves a nice layers of lacing.
S- Smell is roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and charcoal. A bit of darker fruits.
T- Quite a bit of chocolate here. Good amount of coffee, charcoal, darker fruits and roasted malts.
M- Full in body, creamy and lower in carbonation.
O- I enjoyed this one. Seek this one out if you get a chance.

Enjoyed on tap in a snifter glass at Fat Head's Brewery & Saloon.
A 1/2-finger mocha-colored head of creamy froth sits atop a pitch black body with no traces of color when held to light. The head slowly recedes in a few minutes to a light dusting and thick foam ring. Thin layers of lacing cling the glass like soap scum.
Dark fruit aromas mingle with dark malts carrying notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Rather familiar aromas here, but the strength of the dark fruit aromas over the coffee and chocolate is interesting. It adds a nice sugary richness to the nose.
Just like the nose, dark fruits start the sip with notes of plum and black cherry. A dry coffee and dark chocolate flavor then blankets the tongue. Creamy at first, the flavor slowly turns to a dry nuttiness at the end. The 9.1% ABV is not noticable in the least.
Full bodied with moderate carbonation, this beer has great drinkability considering its rich flavors. It does not fizz when held in your mouth but it has a creamy quality that makes big gulps possible.

Generously hooked up in a trade from Stigs. Thank you sir.
Pours jet black into my Darkness snifter. A finger and a half of mocha colored head. Lacing clings to the side of my glass. Doesn't look very thick. Hopefully that will not matter. Espresso, bakers chocolate, a bit of fig and some charred wood. Smells decadent.This beer is a bit colder than I would like at the moment, gonna let it warm up a touch. When it did warm up you get smokiness in there and like a bit of burnt meat. Espresso and bakers chocolate on the forefront of the sip. Roast and char with a touch of an alcohol bite in the back of the throat. Plenty of carbonation. Not real chewie like I like my imperials to be.
I will be honest and say I didn't have real high hopes going into this beer. I was let down by Head Hunter so part of me thought this would translate to fail too. Wrong. Tasty little prize and now I am feeling guilty I opened this alone.

On tap at Fat Heads.
A: Pours a viscous dark brown almost black color with a small tan foam head with decent retention.
S: Tons of rich dark roasted malts. Lots of dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla, burnt wood and smoke.
T: Lots of rich dark chocolate are predominant on the front end. That quickly changes in the middle with espresso, burnt wood and smoke coming to the forefront. The back end finishes woody and smokey.
M: A nice medium/full bodied that leaves a smokey yet creamy taste on the palate.
O: A nice Imperial Stout from Fat Heads. Would have enjoy it more if the smoke was turned down a bit. Definitely worthy of a try!

Pours a midnight/oil black with a dark brown head and little in the way of lace, good retention. Smell of roasted malt, coffee, licorice and dark chocolate. This is a very tasty beer, lots of roasted malt. Some smokey flavors come through even alittle rauch like. A good balance of roasted malt and meaty smoked flavors. Black licorice and coffee are in the flavor profile as well. Little in the way of noticable hops, but the beer is well balanced. Thick feel, and overall a really good imperial stout.

October 11, 2006, Matthew Horne
Over the summer RED ran a short design project to reconnect politicians with voters. We did not concentrate on the high road to democratic reform: Lords Reform, Electoral reform, devolution, or constitutional reform. But, focused instead on the low road to democratic renewal. We looked at how voters experience their local constituency MP.
Click here for the publications and film relating to the project RED/democracy
Read on for a copy of a talk given by RED at Labour Party Conference 2006.
We did 3 things. Firstly, we talked to the public to get a better understanding of the problem. We ran a design workshop for 15 MPs and their staff to get them to put themselves in the shoes of the public. And finally we developed some prototyped practical solutions working for a week in an MP's constituency office in Doncaster.
We viewed MPs as a provider of a service to a local community, and tried to develop a new 'service offering' for them. This included some familiar and unfamiliar ideas. The familiar ideas, included services like newsletters websites and surgeries. The unfamiliar included group surgeries, street surgeries, clusters, reverse invitations, the new local Hansard and a constitupedia. To find out more about our designs visit www.designcouncil.info/red
What does all this mean? We think to renew our democracy and public realm we have to renew our vision of what it means to be a citizen in a healthy democracy. This vision is about how individuals participate in the creation of public goods such as democracy but also including health, education, safety, wellbeing, community, prosperity and so on.
RED has become critical of the government vision of the citizen. We think it is unnecessarily narrow.
We think they view the citizen as an individualised consumer of public goods, acting selfishly, choosing between rival providers (whether it is schools hospitals or care providers). They expect citizens to vote their feet when dissatisfied or to complain loudly when they do not get what they want. Citizens are invited to take part in our institutions by becoming school governors or trustees of hospitals or by getting involved in party politics.
RED's vision of a citizen is of the individual as producers and not just consumer of public goods. We see citizens acting collectively as well as individually. We see them participating in the creation of their own health, education, care, wellbeing and safety. We see citizens taking responsiblity for their own behaviours and lifestyles, choosing to engage and get involved rather than leave. Citizen can expect to be challenged to take more responsibility in their lives, and at the same time they can expect to seek support from public services with making difficult changes to their lifestyle and behaviour.
On the basis of this vision RED tries to create future services with and for the public that start with the individual, prevent problems rather than cure them, support people to change their behaviours, distribute resources rather than centralise them and enable the public and professionals to co-create better outcomes for themselves. This vision is how we believe we can renew our democracy and our public realm.
This is a copy of a talk given by RED at Labour Party Conference 2006.
I'm totally sympathetic with RED's goals and think its means are on target. But citizen self-awareness and activation also depends on factors outside the potitical arena, in the larger public sphere, including media coverage of matters of citizen concern, communication channels uniting citizens, the negative as well as positive consequences of geographical and ethnic/religious/class divisions and representation, and on and on....
Where does one draw the line regarding the designer's participation? Or conversely, how does one create such a powerful social algorithm or meme that the citizens can begin to deal with these determinative factors in the first place, before getting on with actual democratic governance?
Thanks for continuing this important conversation on your website, blog, and in public presentations. I intend to cover them all on our Corante.com blog, Total Experience: http://totalexperience.corante.com/.
I still think the principle reason low voter turn-out is perceived as a 'problem' is politicians' vanity! Millions vote on X-factor etc, and millions turned out against the Iraq War, but now that Government has become more management strategy than Big Issues, it is too detailed, too complex to feel a vote is significant. More local involvement? Save the planet? Why are we just told to use our new recycling bins (in Greenwich) but not given feedback - by the dustmen - every so often on how it is going? Why don't we have more bins that we need? Why can't we speak to the people who provide the service, and know that it will get into the system for change?

Arizona court upholds use of foreclosure settlement
By Associated Press

PHOENIX -- An appellate court panel has upheld Arizona's use of part of a multistate foreclosure settlement to help balance the state budget.
Critics of the Legislature's decision to put $50 million into the general state budget wanted all of the money to be used for programs and services for borrowers and troubled homeowners.
Housing advocates appealed a Maricopa County Superior Court judge's ruling in favor of the state, but an order Tuesday by a three-judge panel upholds the judge's ruling.
Some of the settlement money paid the state by lenders is being used for programs and services for borrowers.

For decades, proponents of instituting a Tennessee photo voter ID law insisted graveyards provided unscrupulous politicians with the opportunity to commit voter fraud via the unwitting cooperation of the "living dead."
The problem was deemed so "deadly" serious, a determined Shelby County Election Commission purged its voter rolls of 5,000 deceased voters in 2008. A Republican-dominated Tennessee General Assembly eventually used that particular "fear factor" as motivation for passage of the photo voter ID law three years later.
MORE: Appeals Court hears arguments on voter ID law
Democrats have since argued the law isn't about securing election integrity instead it's a devious ploy to disenfranchise voting minorities, students and the elderly.
"If they're verifying the photo to the actual individual. You coming in shades and caps. You're not verifying the picture to the person it could be a problem," says early voter Erica Anderson.
"I been voting for years and I never had to have a voter ID," added early voter Kevin Howard. "But, they didn't ask me for it this time. I just gave them my driver's license. People that I know have voted and they have to have voter ID."
It's keeping the voting booth open for those possibly disenfranchised voters that is still being championed by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton. As he awaited the outcome of the city's latest challenge of the state voter ID law before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Wharton clarified his stance.
"I agree with the voters you should have to identify yourself," Mr. Wharton said. "Where my disagreement comes in is why such a restricted definition of what ID is."

As a caveat to this review, I'd like to mention that this bike is about a size too small for me. I normally ride a size Large, but this Alta Peak Large is better suited for a rider between 5'6″ – 5'9″ rather than my 6ft height. I would highly recommend giving Fezzari your measurements so that they can fit the bike exactly to your specs (and why wouldn't you, it's currently FREE).
The Alta Peak is Fezzari's top of the line Full Suspension (FS) bike. It is outfitted with a Deore levers, Juicy 3 brakes, Rock Shox Tora 302 fork & Ario 2.2 shock. The cranksets is a Truvativ Blaze while the wheels are Mavic 117 shod with Maxxis Larsen TT 2.0. The front derailleur is a Deore while the rear is spec'd XT.
My first thought is "I really like riding full suspension." As a FS newbie, I have very little experience on the FS so my reference point is a hardtail. That being said, I really enjoyed riding the Alta Peak because it allayed many of the worries I have about FS bikes.
As a hardtail rider, I was most worried about the extra weight of the FS. I believed the extra weight would weigh me down and I would not be able to finish the climbs I normally would. I was so worried about this that I actually packed extra fluids in case I ended up staying on the trail longer than originally anticipated.
But I found the extra weight of the Alta Peak although noticeable to be negligible. Yes there is extra weight, but no it was not enough to make me get off and hike-a-bike. In fact I was more than able to clean the climbs albeit at a slower than normal pace. But the downhills more than made up for the longer climbs.
Descents are the Alta Peak's forte. The suspension gave me boldness I normally did not have while on a hardtail. As I rolled down the hills I began subconsciously choosing more and more difficult lines and looked to take jumps rather than avoid them. The full suspension ate up everything on the trail so that obstacles that would normally jar my rear ended up being almost gentle. As my friend (who swapped rides with me for an uphill climb and downhill descent) put it the Alta Peak makes you feel "very confident on the downhills".
Another plus with the Alta Peak is the ability to lockout the fork & shock. With the lockouts off, there was pedal bob (another worry). Don't get me wrong, but coming from a hardtail there was just enough bob for me to notice.
But with the lockouts on, the pedal bob was non-existent. The bike felt very efficient and I was able to climb and clean what I would normally climb & clean with my hardtail. In my first impressions of the Alta Peak I mentioned that the lockout on the shock, although small, was very easy to find and engage/disengage even when I wasn't looking. This stayed true the whole ride and I gave that shock a workout, locking it and unlocking it numerous times.
Some other notable features included the juicy 3 hydraulic brakes. These brakes were not set up for me, but they performed extremely well. I always felt that there was enough power to stop me and at over 200 lbs., that's saying a lot.
The XT rear derailleur shifted confidently each time and the Purple Extreme lube, applied by RL, made the bike's drivetrain feel very smooth and efficient.
For my conditions (mostly dry/hardpacked), the Larsen wheels performed very well. There are only a couple of difficult spots on the trail and the tires gripped with confidence. When I rode through a sizable puddle then immediately climbed over a worn wooden beam the wheel did slip. But give the Larsens credit, the rear wheel engaged right away and I didn't need to put my foot down.
Lastly, the beautiful white paint makes me smile every time I see it. I don't know why I like white bikes so much, but the Alta Peak is a beauty!
Weight (surprisingly not noticeable)
Love the lockout feature
Fork & Shock are confidence inspiring
Juicy 3′s have lots of power
White paint!
Pedal bob (minor, but you can tell if you normally ride a hardtail)
Need to go a size up for most people
Larsens not for all conditions
Check out the Alta Peak here.
Update: I'm going to spend some time dialing the Alta Peak to my measurements. Hopefully this will solve some of the pedal bob I was experiencing as well as make me feel more comfortable on the bike. Check back to hear about the changes and the results.

The arrival of fresh cranberries at my local market always puts me in a festive mood and signals that the holiday season is just around the corner. Every year I begin stalking these deliciously tart berries in mid-October and have even been known to make unnecessary trips to the market just to see if there were any to be had. Finally last week there they were in all their ruby colored glory. Joy! I scored a half dozen bags of fresh cranberries and happily made my way home, feeling as though I'd won a prize.
Because the North American cranberry season is so short, this year I've vowed to get serious about preparing a variety of cranberry preserves to enjoy throughout the year. This recipe for cranberry apple chutney, which is heavily adapted from a recipe for cranberry chutney found in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, is my opening salvo in this mission. The appealing combination of tart cranberries, sweet apples, ginger, cardamom, allspice, and hot pepper used here would work well as an accompaniment for roast chicken, pork, or lamb. It would also be ideal as part of a fall/winter cheese course, served with fresh goat cheese or cream cheese.
4-5 cooking apples (or a combination of apples and pears, if you prefer), peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
A 2-inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
1/4 cup raisins
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon allspice
3/4 – 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/4 cups white or apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice or water
3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (12 ounces)
- Assemble sterilized Mason jars totaling 1 quart in volume and their corresponding lids. I used four half-pint jars for this recipe.
- In a large stainless steel or enameled stock pot, combine all ingredients except the cranberries, stir well, and bring to a boil. Boil the mixture on a medium heat burner for approximately 10 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the mixture takes on a syrupy, jam-like consistency. Remove the pot from the burner and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully spoon the chutney mixture into the prepared Mason jars, wipe the jars' rims and threading with a damp paper towel, and firmly screw on the lids to finger tight.
- If you intend to use all of the chutney within one month, you may simply allow the jars to cool to room temperature and then store them continuously in the refrigerator. However, if you plan to store them at room temperature for later use, they must be processed in a hot water bath, as described in step 5 below.
- Place the sealed Mason jars on a rack in the bottom of a large stock pot. Fill the pot with water to a depth one inch higher than the tops of the jars. Place the pot on a burner set to high heat, bring the water to a full rolling boil, boil for 10 minutes, and then take the pot off the burner. Carefully remove the jars from the hot water, and check their seals by pressing down on the center of each lid, which should be slightly concave and not flex. If that is not the case, boil the jars for a few more minutes. When done, set the jars aside to cool to room temperature. This recipe makes one quart of chutney and can be doubled.

An absolute classic. Get it on tap if ever you can.
Fantastic depth and character. This is a beer to give to the folks known for phrases such as "beer is beer".
Sweet and sour. Full bodied yet clean and drinkable. Tart faintly cherry nose. It's hard to believe this is brewed without fruit.

Amazingly my first try of this beer its not a style I seek out much but this is a classic,poured into a large tulip glass a mix of brown a cherry red a light fluffy sticky light brownish colored head atop settling into a creamy-like mass leaving spotty lace.Big tart cherry in the nose with underlying vanilla and oak a iron not is present as well but its somewhat faint,somewhat spritzy mouthfeel light and drinkable.Starts out with a big tartness that wakes you up after that some toastiness and oak shows thru into the finish the puckering tartness is always there it never really totally leaves.A nice complex but refreshing beer it is a classic for a reason.

Appearance This Red Ale is really more brown, but its a reddish kind of brown, if thats not pushing it too much. The head was modest and didnt stay around long, which is typical of the style so I wont hold that against this fella.
Smell The nose is a moderate combination of sour, almost mashy kind of malts like from a sour mash whisky and some nice, sweet, sour fruits. I know I just used the word sour a few times but really its not that soury.
Taste The sourness is laid back and not the kind that hurts your teeth. Im actually drinking this from a 750 ml and will have no problem draining this on my own. The fruits are mostly cherry and white grape and the malts are bigger than you usually find with the style. Its a nice combination conducive to a good sour session, helped along by the mixture of an oak-aged blend..
Mouthfeel This falls short of medium-bodied by quite a bit. The carbonation is modest and a nice relief from other samples of the style. I mean, with the sourness of a FRA going on in your mouth a carb bomb is just a little much.
Drinkability One of the more sessionable sour ales that Ive had. The obvious high quality of the ingredients makes this a pleasure to drink, and the 25% ale aged in oak infusion makes this a smooth drinker.

Nice crisp refreshing Flemish red. Smell is sour cherries and funk, taste again the sour fruit with a significant presence of cider vinegar. Not as sweet as some of the Flemish Reds, but that helps the drinkability considerably. I would consider this the perfect beer to match to some seafood (mussels, clams, ...) for lunch on a hot day. If at all possible I would recommend getting the 6 pack over the 750ml as this is the perfect afternoon beer to have one or two of on a nice day.

An interesting and unique brew. However to me, one youve got to be in the mood for and/or have an appropriate pairing. Clean, bright nose with hints of cherry. Taste is strong cherry, noticeable lime, a hint of sugar, and a nice tart dry finish. A nice balance of the tart/sweet that really makes the brew refreshing. Mouthfeel is weak. Too light, too craft soda like for me. Very reminiscent of a Stewarts Black Cherry soda. If in the mood, warm day, etc...a very nice beer, but not for all occasions by any means. That being said, well crafted no doubt.

Rodenbach Flanders Red Ale 75% young ale, 25% ale matured for 2 years aged in oak vats. 5.2% alcohol. Corked and caged bottle poured into a Ommegagang snifter.
A- Pours a brilliant dark brown fluid that shows firey red on the edges where light pass though it. Light off white head falls to a quarter inch froth on the top of the beer, random patchy lacing is noted.
S- Freshly tarted grapes, apples, and cherries upfront followed by rich sweet malts that come off as almost soapy and leathery in scents.
T-M- Taste is similar the smell in the aspect of the tarted fruit is now met with a sweeter light candied sugar mix up. Most notible is the Granny Smith apple flavors upfront with a quick bite of tartness followed by a sweet dry note of cherry. Mouthfeel is highly carbonated but I wouldn't have it any other way as it allows the beer to dance over the taste buts with ease.
Overall this is a winner as it is exceptionally drinkable and not overpowering but allows the avid beer drinker the enjoyment of a Flanders style at a session feel... CHEERS!!

This had a nice winey aroma with a good solid head when poured. It had a wonderful sour flavor in the Flemish style with hints of black cherries. I also taste some metallic hints, but did not detract from the flavor at all. This was very crisp & clean in the finish. Good carbonation led this to be very drinkable & quenching. I would definitely get this again, but the price makes it slightly prohibitive.

Clear mohogany body. Light tan, khaki colored 1.25" head that hangs around. Not much else to say, super nice looking, just what I would expect from this style.
Tart cherry and grape mainly. A bit of granny smith apple as well. Some cellar mustyness comes in as well. Taste is again tart and a bit sour, but not quite as tart as others I've had. Taste is tart cherries again. Some raspberries work their way in. Finishes with a bit of earthy flavors and some woody notes as well. Many of the secondary flavors after the tart fruit don't come out very well.
Seems to be a medium bodied brew. Tartness is only initial and then subsides. A bit of carbonation adds a refreshing edge to this. Very drinkable for the style.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 8.45oz or 250ml bottle into a snifter.
Appearance: It had a deep reddish brown color with some visible carbonation. Its head was small and slightly pinkish tan color. The head slowly recedes, leaving some nice lace behind on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has sweet and sour fruity notes with some sharp acidic cider vinegar notes.
Taste/Mouth feel: Wow very interesting! The range of flavor is amazing. It starts off with sour apple cider vinegar notes over a light malty flavor. This quickly turns to a more sweet/tart fruity flavor with cherry notes and some hints of musty oak. Next up is a slightly dry, mild earthy bitterness. For the finish it turns back to a semi-dry, tart/sour flavor that slowly fades off the tongue. It's about medium bodied and the carbonation feels light and a bit fizzy.
Notes: This is a very complex and interesting beer. It is a slow sipper that is very enjoyable small amounts.

750 ml corked and caged bottle pours a clear garnet chestnut body with a thin beige head. Sheets of lacing are left on the chalice.
Aroma of old musty oak, cherries, and horse blanket.
Light medium body with a clean earthy feel.
Taste is sour cherries, woody wet oak, and wool sweater. More sour than sweet.
Beautiful example of an exceptional style.

A nice find on tap at the soon to be no more Blind Tiger ale house. This little lovely poured cloudy reddish amber, with a tiny bubble slight head, leaving fine, wispy lacing. Nose of semi sour cherries. Flavorful, complex brew with notes of sour fruit, moderate but not overpowering in intensity. More drinkable then other "reds" I've tried. Tasty, fruity, intense. A fine experience in drinking.

Enjoyed a glass of this with my wife and fellow BA's FitzIPAtrick and growler at The Publick House...thanks to Liefman for the heads up on this one.
Arrived in a oversized Rodenbach flute glass...leave it up to TPH to match the beer w/ the perfect glassware. Red rust in color with less than a half finger of off-white head...no lacing detected.
Faint aromas of cherries and some earthy tones...
Taste is very enjoyable...mainly tart cherries with a subtle sour characteristic that was very complementary to the brunch.
Mouthfeel was a tad thin and the carbonation was high, but most likely average for the style (I lack experience in this one).
I could enjoy a few glasses of this one, but at $7 a glass, this would be a one and done for me.

Pours a one finger worth of egg shell colored, fairly creamy head.
Body is a muddy maroon/brown color.
Smells like apple vinegar, vanilla, Carmel and toffee. Quite malty and sticky grape sweet smelling.
Tastes initially sweet and Carmely. Mid palate is apple, vanilla, grapes and brown sugar molasses. Apple vinegar and some balsamic vinegar rounds out the flavors. I'd like a but more pop in the flavors, nothing was offensive tho.
Mouthfeel is medium body, medium carbonation, fairly dry on the finish. Quite drinkable and keeps me wanting more.
Overall this is good. I enjoyed this to the end of the pour, as did the friends that I shared it with. I think I'll try the vintage editions of this to hopefully find a bit more complexity.
$9 a 750ml

A friend of Christian Grosinsky, who was scheduled to fight late replacement John Wood on the undercard of last night's Strikeforce Challengers 10 event, e-mailed Bloody Elbow to report that Grosinsky's fight did not take place due to yet another screw up from Strikeforce. It appears that Grosinsky's fight did not happen after Strikeforce lost Wood's blood test results.
Of course, this is not the first time that Strikeforce has had a similar situation happen. on the undercard of the Rogers vs. Fedor show an undercard bout did not take place before the main card due to time concerns and was moved to after the main event, only to not take place because the promotion simply forgot about it. There has been at least one other case of a fight on the undercard not happening because of time concerns, and now this.
From Christian's Facebook page:
Guys my fight got canceled. They lost the records of his bloodwork so he can't fight. I'm so sorry guys
This is mostly upsetting to me because Strikeforce has now shown a pattern of not letting guys fight after going through full training camps, weight cuts..etc. Even if they're paying the fighter's full pay and win bonus (which I've not yet been able to confirm, but they absolutely should) they're still taking away the ability for a guy to get a win that could help them build their career.
I have reached out to Strikeforce for comment but they have not yet responded. I will update the story with their response if they provide one.
Update #1 - A source from inside John Woods' camp tells me:
John took the fight on 4 days notice and had his bloodworked faxed to the arena. They told John they couldn't find his bloodwork and scrapped his fight. Then they refused to pay him. John drove from Vegas to Phoenix on his own and didn't get paid a dime. Strikeforce told John to talk to the local promoter and the local promoter told him to talk to Strikeforce and he didn't get paid.
John also cut 23 pounds the day of the weigh in (due to being a late replacement) only to not fight and not get paid.
From how the situation is being explained to me from different sources Woods sent his bloodwork to Strikeforce a few days before the weigh-in only to have them say they didn't have it, so the bloodwork was then faxed to the arena and John was told again that they didn't have it. It's unclear to me on the day-of-event fax if this was an athletic commission drop or the promoter, but it's clear that the initial loss of bloodwork was on Strikeforce.
And to make things worse it sounds like the fighters are not getting paid because the undercard was farmed out to Rage in the Cage rather than handled entirely in-promotion by Strikeforce.

The New Normal's Georgia King on the Joys of Being Fake Pregnant - Exclusive
As Goldie on Ryan Murphy's NBC sitcom The New Normal, Georgina King has been fake-pregnant for 17 episodes now. While she's loved every minute of it, her character is literally about to pop.
Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Georgina at Ryan's Inaugural PaleyFest Icon Award ceremony on February 17, and the actress addressed everything from the show's brilliant message to the big birth and her hopes for Season 2.
What's Ryan's signature on your show?
Georgina King: The fearlessness Ryan has a human being. The fact that he will explore any idea and thought he wants to without question. Which very few people are willing to do, and are comfortable doing, in this day and age. Not just in this industry, but in other ways of life — people are scared to go too far.
What's important is people who do break down barriers, and ask questions and make people think. So we have plenty of that going on in The New Normal from Ryan.
Also, Ryan's energy is something I didn't notice at first. He directed a few of the episodes, and he's got a very strong energy forward, which is conducive to the show. It's a style that's been carried through to the other directors. It's not like a mockumentary — it is a single cam, fly-on-the-wall kind of show. But there is a speed to it, a quickness and smartness that is very true to Ryan. There's a colorfulness in his dialogue — from a visual sense. He's full of life, Ryan Murphy. His shows reflect that.
What's it like being a part of baby storyline?
Being a part — I've been in the middle of it! (Laughs.) It's awesome. I have to say being fake-pregnant is the bomb. I love it. I'm very maternal as a person anyway — Bebe and I are incredibly close. I think it's been really interesting because it's exploring parenthood that isn't the norm, which is literally the title of the show. That's kind of cool to see. We are an ever-changing society, and I feel like it's great to actually acknowledge that, and kind of roll with it and go through the motions.
I am amazed at how many people relate to the story. I had no idea. I'd never had any of these issues and thoughts, particularly at the forefront of my life. I am not wanting a child just yet. I'm straight. I don't have a lot of conflicts that people in the world do. It's been a real privilege to be a part of it and it opened my eyes to something that happens.
Are we gonna see a baby resolution by season's end?
There might well be. I think there might be a resolution.
What are your hopes for next season?
My hopes and aspirations are that the show doesn't stop fighting hard to kind of push forward and be bold and brave. I think the fact that it keeps exploring very complicated situations, like my relationship with my husband, Goldie and Clay, it's a complicated one. Even though he's doing all these wonderful things now, trying to win me back — it doesn't mean that Goldie will take him back.
That's Ryan and Ali's viewpoint that life isn't just a case of yes and no, black and white. I love that.
Reporting by Nicholas White.
The New Normal airs Tuesdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Bakkenlink Pipeline
BakkenLink Pipeline LLC (BakkenLink), a wholly owned subsidiary of Great Northern Midstream LLC, submitted a proposal to construct a 132-mile long pipeline project which will go across North Dakota from Beaver Lodge to Fryburg. The 12-inch diameter welded steel crude oil pipeline is designed to carry up to 65,000 barrels of oil per day, with expansion capabilities of up to 100,000 barrels per day. The pipeline would be buried underground and would follow existing pipeline and utility easements and corridors where feasible. The BLM is the designated lead federal agency preparing the EA and the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are cooperating agencies.
(Due to the large file size, the below documents have been separated into sections to make them faster to download. Some files may still take several seconds to access.)
Keystone XL Pipeline
TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, LP, proposes to construct and operate a new 36-inch buried crude oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, to the Port Arthur and east Houston areas of Texas. The project is 1,704 miles long(approximately 329 miles in Canada and 1,375 miles in the United States). The pipeline will cross approximately 42 miles of BLM-administered public land in Montana.
NorthWestern Energy proposes to construct and operate a 500kV electric transmission line between southwestern Montana and southeastern Idaho. The project has an estimated length of 350-390 miles depending on the final location.
Pathfinder/Bison Pipeline
TransCanada Northern Border Inc. filed application to construct and operate two buried natural gas pipelines to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota. The proposed Pathfinder pipeline is approximately 500 miles of 42-inch diameter pipe and 134 miles of 30-36 inch diameter pipe. The proposed Bison pipeline route is approximately 284 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline that will parallel the Pathfinder pipeline route across Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota.

At a time of growing environmental and economic crisis the 'capitalist lunacy' of golf, in the words of Bernard Shaw, is becoming more evident. Ironically, in Cuba, Golf developers, encouraged by recent 'economic liberalisation' announcements are making their own plans…
In his regular weekly 'Alo Presidente' TV Show, Hugo Chavez has hinted that some of Venezuela's golf courses would be expropriated to be used for other purposes, along with 'good land' that has been abandoned. Stating the obvious, Chavez, who has in the past called golf a 'bourgeois sport' pointed out that it was "an injustice – that someone should have the luxury of having I don't know how many hectares to play golf and drink whiskey and, next door, there's misery and children dying when there are landslides". The comment followed the landslides of October where many people died in shanty towns and is also related to Venezuela's acute housing shortage with an estimated two million homes needed. 9 golf courses, many of which in oil-producing regions catering for Venezuela's oil elite, have been shut down in Venezuela since 2006.
Ironically, in Cuba foreign developers are planning more courses, with some of the recent economic 'liberalisation' changes being linked to golf development. The Obama administration, may have slightly loosened the travel ban in April 2009 by allowing Cuban-Americans to travel freely to Cuba, but otherwise has made little progress in lifting or at least loosening "El Bloqueo", the 50 year old & cold war trade and travel embargo, imposed by the world's most powerful state against a small island nation.
The travel ban already has plenty of holes as it is condemned at the UN each year by all the world's countries (except Israel) and is also increasingly ignored by many US citizens travelling via Canada or Mexico, or, officially under humanitarian or educational cover (a "professional research general license").
Also ironically, the travel ban has affected and distorted the Cuban Tourism model, with resorts seen as a last resort after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the abrupt end of soviet aid. (on the contrary the solution in agriculture was ecological with urban organic agriculture thriving) Low-cost package tourism from Europe led to an overreliance on foreign (transnational) built and operated resorts.
A similar travel ban was in place against Vietnam and Laos, now long gone, although their communist systems are not, at least nominally. Many golf courses and luxury resorts are currently being built in Vietnam, mainly for Chinese travellers. Such golf tourism & holiday home developments and condominiums (and casinos, and…) could also be the case in Cuba and this is rather depressing, full circle after 50 years.
A lifting of the travel ban would also have a considerable impact in competing Caribbean destinations and even Florida.
Currently, even before the latest economic 'liberalisation' moves of Raul Castro, involving the laying off of about 500,000 state workers (victims to a possible lifting of the embargo?) there appears to be some movement. According to anti-bloqueo campaigners such as the Fund for Reconciliation and Development, the Obama administration has delayed action until after the November 2nd elections, with an expansion of educational, cultural and other forms of non-tourist travel likely, depending on how bad the electoral results will be. (Would not it be amusing were Cuba to continue the travel ban from its side – for example by issuing a very limited number of visas?)
If anyone needs reminding of what is wrong with golf, they can visit:
A video about a – currently blocked thanks to local protests – planed-mega golf development in arid Crete
and the latest about the controversial Trump Golf resort development in Aberdeen, Scotland and the 'Tripping up Trump' campaign, a local movement to save residents from eviction.
As is well known, golf course construction is just a ruse for holiday home developments. No one is really interested in promoting this peculiar sport, which Churchill defined as "chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture".

"Every single Syrian that you will meet has a story of someone who's been injured, or killed," said Mohamed Khairullah, Mayor of Prospect Park.
Khairullah has deep family roots in Syria. He visits the war-torn country often, with medicine and food., and he welcomes the Obama administration's policy shift to arm beleaguered rebels in their revolt against President Bashar Al-Assad.
He said, "The American public doesn't want to see boots on the ground, but I think we could definitely help them make gains on the ground."
United Nations fact-finders report the Syrian conflict's killing 5,000 people a month, mostly civilians. President Obama says Assad crossed the so-called "red line" by using chemical weapons against his own citizens.
The administration's goal is to give the rebels a fighting chance, some leverage to force Assad to negotiate. The rebels want anti-aircraft weapons, a defense against Assad's well-equipped Air Force.
"Assad will never negotiate unless the balance is changed.," according to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee. "This is not about boots or troops on the ground, but it is about allowing those who are fighting for their freedom, who share our values to have the wherewithal to do so."
To level the playing field, Menendez is committed to giving the President options, especially with Assad massing troops for a renewed assault on Aleppo.
"Having strikes against the airfields, where in fact Assad's airplanes could not take off, would seriously help the rebels because, if you're being bombed from the air and bombed by artillery against what
in essence is a pea-shooter, you're not gonna win that fight," Menendez said.
He adds that a no-fly zone is possible…
"Is it a lot harder than Libya? Yes. But can the international community come along together to do that? They have the possibility to do it. They just have to have the effort."
As for the mayor of Prospect Park, Khairullah plans to fly back to Syria next month again, with more food and medicine.

"Moving along very well" and "ahead of or on schedule" were the words used at the November meeting of the school board to describe Adams Central School's construction and renovation project.
The speaker was former board member Barry Ehinger, who now oversees the project as the board's hired representative. Weigand Construction of Fort Wayne is the prime contractor on the design-build job.
For more than 30 years, Sue Eichhorn has been a mail carrier at the Decatur Post Office, including the past 26 years on rural route five.
She was recently honored by the U.S. Postal Service for achieving that milestone. A certificate signed by E. Lynn Smith, the manager of the Fort Wayne district of the USPS, congratulated Eichhorn for her service and added, "Over the years, there have been many changes and improvements in the postal service. Your contribution assisted in making these changes possible."

Auto Transport To & From Alabama (AL)
Alabama is a very well-known state, not for its humble origins but rather as a beaming beacon of the traditional southern way of life. If you're looking for auto transport to Alabama, here are some things you might want to know before heading down there:
- No waiting, see your price NOW.
- FREE door to door auto transport quotes for individuals, car dealers and other businesses.
- Whether you are shipping one vehicle or multiple vehicles. We can give you FAST, INSTANT, no obligation quotes.
Alabama is known as the "Heart of Dixie," and for good reason. It's bordered by Tennessee to the north, while to the east is Georgia, Florida to the south, and Mississippi lies on its western side. Also, for those of you who are interested, Alabama was not only the twenty-second state to join the union, it was also part of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. All the more reason to look for auto transport there, right?
What's really interesting about Alabama is that until the Second World War, Alabama (like most Southern states) was stuck in poverty. However, after World War II, Alabama emerged from the bottom of the barrel to become an economic powerhouse in the region. This was done by transitioning from an agriculturally-based economy in favor of more diversified businesses, heavy in manufacturing, mining, education and technology. Today, Alabama is a leader in aerospace, education, healthcare, automobile manufacturing, steel, and textiles. This demand in industry is the perfect reason to look for auto transport to Alabama, especially if you're moving there because of the boom in industry.
What's also nice about Alabama is its climate. Described by its citizens as "beautiful," it differs from most Southern states in the fact that the annual average temperature is roughly 64 degrees. However, temperatures tend to be a bit warmer in the southern part (due to the Gulf of Mexico) while in the northern section, where the Appalachian Mountains end, temperatures are a bit cooler. Alabama also has hot summers and mild winters, but there is a lot of rain, making it very humid in some parts of the state. But it's still wonderful to live there, as any Alabamian will tell you, and auto transport there has never been better.
Another thing that might interest you, should you be thinking of auto transport to Alabama is its many, many thunderstorms. In fact, Alabama has more thunderstorms than every other state but Florida. The Gulf Coast, particularly around Mobile, gets 70 to 80 days per year of reported thunderstorms. These are accompanied often by lightning (obviously) and large hail, and in fact ranks seventh in the number of deaths by lightning strikes. Scary, huh? Tornadoes are also common, and actually shares the number of highest F5 tornadoes with Kansas. But don't let this dampen your spirits about this great state; as you all know, lightning never strikes twice.
Another thing that's really interesting, should you still be interested in auto transport to Alabama, is that Wetumpka is the site of Alabama's greatest natural disaster. About 83 million years ago, a meteor crashed into the region and the hills of downtown Wetumpka are the remains of a five-mile wide meteor crater. Also, if it interests you at all, it's believed that at the time of impact, a shallow sea of over 100 feet in depth resided in the impact crater, making it the best preserved marine impact crater in the world. Cool, huh?
