Totally agree with Lonna on the GOP wanting our country to fail for the sake of politics.
Skipping down to the "loose cannons" part of your comment, Dave--I agree with you to a point. I don't think Biden's really the best example, though. He says some things that are eye-roll-inducing, but his gaffes don't approach the viciousness of the GOP's efforts to (as Lonna succinctly said) "torpedo" things that would be good for our country.

If Texas does secede or is annexed by Mexico could they PLEASE take California also.So,as a staunch Republican allow me to repeat what I have sooo many times.Both major parties are rife with "LOOSE CANNONS".The prime example being our current Vice President who is King of "I got both feet stuck in my mouth at the same time".
By the way--excerpt from below: :)
Texas might see itself as culturally akin to its former fatherland, but as time goes on, the nation's destiny would be determined by its genetic ties to the south. If current demographic growth continues, Texas will become majority Hispanic within a generation. The prospect of Texas as the newest Latin American nation amuses Austin cultural marketing consultant Mando Rayo.
"Texas becomes La Republica de Tejas," Rayo says. "The panhandle city of Amarillo becomes Amarillo, and our national pride, the Dallas Vaqueros, win the Super Bowl."

Texas is allowed by US law to secede from the Union if it so desires. So if it gets too bad that could be a possibility of a second Republic of Texas and not participate in the "armed rebellion". LOL

Some of the Members of the Grand OLD Party have staged So many asinine attacks on this President, they can't even figure out where or what they stand for. They've made it hard on the half of Candidate they have, b/c he will remonstrate legislation he was for 5 minutes earlier (I mean what I said, Whatever it was I said, when I said it, say's Mitt). Their best bet is to keep him muted til November b/c he can easily be dubbed super Hypocritical and an Elitist Liar. The GOP have no choice now but to run a Campaign of Fear Mongering, see Fox Noise 24 hour Propaganda Machine.
Fox Noise is full of Conjecture "I THINK this witness is going to say Obama is a Muslim, Let's see....". Think Not, they Blamed last years Earthquake in August in DC on The President, what's their next Episode "Did Muslim Extremist Cause the Colorado Blaze?", Now if other orgs such as Huffington Post ruck back and showed The Colorado Wild Fires and a clip of Myth Romney saying "Didn't Obama get the Message in Wisconsin?, We don't need more Cops, Teachers annnnnnnnd FIREFIGHTERS?" Murdock would Keel over!
I have a lot of different View, and I even like some of Ron Pau'ls Ideas, but the GOP is becoming an Antiquated interference for Real Progressives.
IMO, They are Willing to SINK the WHOLE SHIP just to take down the Captain, I don't find ANYTHING Patriotic about that.
Sorry, but They Have lost my Respect.

Treason? No. Stupidity, Oh heck yes! I don't think he was in any way calling for armed rebellion but it could easily be taken for just that by those looking for an excuse. We must be VERY careful, as many of us have discovered and are still discovering today, that our words are only two dimensional here on the Internet and e-mail. Words lose much of their meaning when you cannot hear the inflections in ones voice and/or expressions on ones face.

This is, indeed, inflammatory rhetoric. I think more should have been done to correct this and a simple apology really is not enough. It does seem to be all too common to put one's mouth in motion before putting one's brain in gear!

Would or should this not be considered treason? Politicians like all others and maybe even more so should be held accountable for their actions and their words...

Very kind man. His lectures are very confusing and his final exam was completely terrible, it dropped my mark from an 85 to 80 BUT he was willing to help when I told him my dilemma. I rarely went to class because most of the material was discussed in the seminar. He was funny in his lectures and tried to keep the class engaged. Overall a nice man
Okay I was very confused the whole class- every class, BUT Dr. Peetush is SO nice, kind and caring and he ROCKS as a person. He giggles just like the Dhali Lama. Love him :)
A lot of students do not like him or his teaching style. I did. He is very passionate and gets excited about the concepts he is explaining. If he catches you talking or texting he will stop the lecture and make an effort to publicly embarrass you. He's a rude awakening to university for students who received special treatment in high school.
One of the best I've had in four years at Laurier. Really loves what he teaches and those he teaches. After our final test he gave everyone individual thanks and regards. Very serious about his classes, so please leave your phone and laptop off. Paying attention will pay off b/c (even making a tangent) Peetush will make you think. Thanks Professor.
This prof was amazing, really inspired me, I loved how much I learned. He goes on a lot of tangents but is really passionate. No slides or anything, so attendance is mandatory, but it's a really great time.
Ashwani is a great professor. Mildly depressed that the class is over. Only class that I regret missing a lecture for.
N-ever thought that I would be mildy depressed after a course ended. I can't believe its actually over. PP220 was the best course I had taken throughout my university education. Ashwani is a great professor. Definitely going to take some of his other courses in the near future.
Never thought that I would be mildy depressed after a course ended. I can't believe its actually over. PP220 was the best course I had taken throughout my university education. Ashwani is a great professor. Definitely going to take some of his other courses in the near future.
Legal Philosopy
Hands down the best prof I have ever had, I'm taking courses that I don't need just to get to learn more from him.
I look for him when picking my courses. Great guy, loves what he is teaching, sincerely wants you to secceed. Will let you write on whatever you want
Amazing professor; he is engaging, enthusiastic, entertaining, and brilliant. Do not regret taking his class for a second.
Great professor! Extremely helpful with the topics. Make sure to go to his classes! This is where you learn the most. He is also very nice and extremely helpful if you visit him during office hours, which I strongly recommend. Overall a very nice guy, tries to keep the class interested, knowledgeable and helpful. I had Friday classes and still went
Good guy
He's really cute. And he does a great job of teaching the concepts/testing on things that were taught. He's also quite funny and engaging. He might have a little bit of a philosophy inferiority complex. He is always defending/advocating for philosophy as a major, and insulting other departments. He may have experienced some teasing in the past.
This prof really cares, he spent 2 hrs going over how to apply to law school with me, and then even helped me to write a letter of intent. He's a encouraging, helpful and very kind man.
Dr. Peetush is a hard case. He is very clear in concepts, especially for those with no philosophy background. He also gives great examples and gets the class very involved. However, he is far too strict. He takes things which aren't a big deal (like walking into class two minutes late) and makes them into a huge deal. Not for everyone.
A great prof who is very knowledgeable about philosophy.
He is very strict about class attendance and being late. He also has issues with laptops, and you must sit in the first four/five rows of the lecture hall. He is very clear about the course content, which makes concepts easier to grasp. His lectures emphasize and clarify the text, so it is good to focus on both.

I'm visiting a load of Real Gap's South Africa trips next week, so I'm just organising some last bits before my adventure starts. Want some good tips? Carry on reading!
I've done all my laundry, and I've finally started to organise my packing. With packing it generally all depends on the individual, but hopefully the list below will be helpful to those of you who are about to embark on your own adventure!
A question we get asked a lot on the sales team is 'backpack, or suitcase?'. I'm a backpack kind of guy, its easier to move around with and easy to live out of. I think nearly all of our trips are better suited to backpacks! Taking a suitcase is not going to be a disaster or ruin your trip by any means, but for me a backpack works better. I bought mine 10 years ago, it's 65 litres with good straps and it always brings back some great memories!
I started by laying all of my clothes across my bed. I always think it's a good idea to lay it all out, then you can start to assess the quantity of what you're taking...
I've got a pair of trousers that zip off as shorts. I love them so they are my first big recommendation.
List: Shorts x 3, T-Shirts x 5, Jeans, Shirt, Jumper, Underwear, Cap, Rain Jacket, Trainers, Flip Flops, Speedos (only joking, boardies for me!), Sunglasses
Admin Stuff:
Arrival Information Printout (this includes addresses, telephone numbers, and names so useful to have), Insurance Policy Printout, Flight tickets, Passport. I'm leaving a copy of documents with my parents and also as attachments on my e-mail so I can access them if I lose the print out. Its also nice for your parents to have your arrival information just incase, and if your mum is anything like mine she has already been through these details once or twice with you! Next onto the wallet, it's good to have a Caxton FX card and credit card, but also your driving license. I'm taking a bit of local currency and about $10 US Dollars.
Electrical Equipment
Video Camera (or Camera) Kindle Phone (not my iPhone) Plug Converter All my chargers
Bug Spray, savlon, sun cream, towel, and head torch which is my other big recommendation. Its very handy to keep with you, especially if you're arriving late to a dorm room, or needing the bathroom in the dark. This usually ensures you don't need to turn the light on and annoy everyone!
I'm also taking a few treats for the kids I'll be volunteering with, some Real Gap T-Shirts, Sweets, Pencils and some Tennis Balls. A random selection, but think I can bring a smile to everyone with that lot!
If you're looking at your bed and think you've packed way too much then you have. Despite me taking the list of clothes above, I'm pretty sure I will wear the same 2 T-Shirts and 2 pairs of shorts for 80% of my time! The rest of it is a bit of a backup and incase I go out to dinner, or it gets cold in the evening.
Good luck with your packing, for me it's the train to London, followed by the Jubilee line (Underground) to Heathrow. The adventure is about to begin! Wahoooo!

MARYLAND - Making a sale often hinges on "the pitch" a short, focused summary of what you're selling. Monday, The Start-Up Maryland Entrepreneur Pitch Bus made its way across Delmarva making stops in Ocean City and Salisbury.
Once onboard, aspiring businessmen and women were given just 3 to 5 minutes to make their pitch. If they impressed a panel of experts, they could go on to present their ideas at an expo later this year, which could mean big things for their company. "We would hire more teachers and we would do different things. Grow our robotics, grow our mobile application development. It would be an exciting time for our company," said Eric Belardo, CEO of Digital Youth Experience.
Once the bus tour is complete, Maryland residents will have a chance to vote on their favorite pitch. When voting ends, the top 8 will move on to the next level of competition and one step closer to their dream.

For more on this herb, read my article on Tribulus.
7) Tongkat Ali
Tongkat Ali is a tree native to Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It was dubbed the "Asian Viagra" in a May 1999 report in the New Sunday Times. See Tongkat Ali for more about this herb.

The Montclair Times Editorial: Helping Haiti
Haiti is one of the world's poorest nations. Bereft of substantive infrastructure, the Haitian half of the island of Hispaniola has been significantly depleted of trees and fertile soil due to centuries of chopping down trees for fuel and revenue, without planting enough new trees, resulting in devastating erosion.
The residents of Haiti, many of them slaves, rebelled against their French overseers in 1804, becoming the Western Hemisphere's second free nation; the United States was the first.
Yet, during portions of the past two centuries, international powers, including the U.S., quashed much of Haiti's internal strengths.
Rampant corruption and horrific brutality have defined generations of Haitian leaders.
Overpopulation has worsened the lack of arable soil, and there are shockingly few jobs available in Haiti for far too many people. As is common in impoverished nations, medical care is paltry.
Education, too, is marginal. Schools are few and resources are scant. Many youngsters don't get the chance to learn the academic basics and remain functionally illiterate into adulthood. Advanced studies in the 21st century's most vital subjects such as the sciences, engineering and technology are nearly nonexistent. Haitians need the opportunity.
Numerous aid groups function in Haiti. The United Nations and its member states have spent billions of dollars constructing and reconstructing hospitals, bridges, roadways and other national imperatives. Many non-Haitians and Haitians residing in the U.S. and other nations assist Haiti.
Founded by Haitians residing in the U.S., Edeyo Foundation focuses on improving the education offered to Haitian children residing in the nation's capital and largest city, Port-au-Prince. Founded in 2007, the foundation that year established Edeyo School in the Bel-Air section of Port-au-Prince.
The island that includes Haiti and the Dominican Republic is vulnerable to earthquakes. In January 2010, a terrible earthquake killed nearly a quarter-million Haitians, and the citizens and their government desperately struggle to recover from this destruction.
As with multitudes of other structures, Edeyo School was destroyed by the earthquake. Supported by many benefactors and volunteers, Edeyo Foundation is rebuilding its facility with the aim of providing decent education to dozens of poor children enrolled in the school. Money's needed for this and other Haitian tasks.
Helping Haiti's Young people
Many Montclair residents, organizations and houses of worship consistently assist nations in distress. Following the 2004 tsunami that killed people throughout the Pacific, the Tohoku earthquake that struck Japan in 2011, the L'Aquila earthquake in Italy, and other natural disasters, numerous Montclairites participated in local fundraisers to assist victims.
For the past three years, some citizens of Montclair have organized the Concert for Haiti, an evening of music, oratory and pleas to assist the nation of Haiti and, specifically, Edeyo Foundation. The 4th Annual Concert for Haiti occurs this Saturday, Feb. 2.
Singer/guitarist James Maddock will headline the show in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Montclair, 67 Church St. Plenty of area musicians will take the stage to provide entertainment and join in the stance to make an educational difference for some young people in Haiti. Doors open at 7 p.m., tickets for adults are $20, and money spent buying the cakes and cookies baked by volunteers also goes to assisting Edeyo Foundation.
You can get more details on the 4th Annual Concert for Haiti in the feature in today's Arts section.
You can improve people's lives by donating to this and other efforts to reduce poverty and improve education in the United States, Haiti and elsewhere in our world.

0Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow had a 'Friends' reunion
Friends is one of that show that pretty much everyone in the world has seen at least one episode of and most people really love it. It's a classic and it holds up really well over time – seriously, go put an episode on right now and it'll still be as funny as it was when it first aired. It's just one of those shows.
In any case, Friends has major nostalgia factor for those of us who have watched and loved it, and last night we got lucky when Monica, Rachel and Phoebe reunited on Jimmy Kimmel Live. That's Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, in case I needed to elaborate on that further.
Without further ado, here it is:
Ha! Now I need to go watch some reruns. Next month marks the 20th anniversary of the Friends premiere. God, time flies!

5Lisa Kudrow Did an Impromptu Performance of "Smelly Cat" at a Charity Event
Ahhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha! This news completely made my night. As we all know, an entire generation of 20-somethings was defined by Phoebe Buffay and "Smelly Cat." It's pretty much the greatest song ever. It conveys anger, sympathy, compassion, love, and malodorousness with such grace and eloquence. I'm frankly surprised that we've never seen Britney Spears or Pearl Jam cover it. (Seriously, Pearl Jam, get on that.)
So Lisa Kudrow was with Courteney Cox-Arquette at a fundraiser for Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief charity, at Club Nokia in Los Angeles Tuesday night. The two of them were doing a brief Q&A session to kill time before Sheryl Crow went on to perform:
"Play 'Smelly Cat!' " an audience member called out, after Kudrow and Cox Arquette were pressed into a question-and-answer session while Crow and her bandmates set up backstage.
Kudrow looked to her friend for help, but Cox Arquette gleefully threw her pal under the Benefit bus, calling out to the stagehands: "Get her a guitar, people!"
After being fitted with an acoustic guitar, the momentarily bewildered actress warily asked, "Is this a set up?" before summoning her inner Phoebe and serenading the audience with her ballad about an odiferous feline.
PLEASE tell me someone has this shit on video? And that it will be on YouTube soon? In the meantime, the O.G. "Smelly Cat" can be viewed above.
Update: Thanks to Jelena for the clip below:

8Celebs Show Off Their Kids at Disneyland
On Sunday, all the celebrities who weren't at the Disney event for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation dragged their asses (and the diapered asses of their small children) all the way down to Anaheim for the opening of the Finding Nemo ride.
I'm primarily interested in these images because, once again, Denise Richards insisted on trotting her obviously anti-camera children in front of photogs again. This time she only brought Sam, leaving Lola at home in peace, I suppose. These children always look unhappy in photos. Why do you insist on doing this to them, Denise?
In stark contrast, Brooke Shields' little daughters, Rowan and Grier, are absolutely adorable. Mariska Hargitay was there with her son August. Kobe Bryant brought his whole family. Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow were there for reasons that baffle me. (Actually, Courteney was probably there because David Arquette and his sister Patricia, who brought her daughter and goddaughter, were.) Leah Remini, Scientologist extraordinaire, brought her husband Angelo Pagan and her daughter, Sofia Bella (Pagan's three children from his previous marriage clearly lost their invites in the mail). Melissa Joan Hart brought her cutie son Mason. And no event would be complete without the darling Sprouse Brothers, still pretending to be 15 years old.
