soniachet Our stay at B&B Guerrazzi was very pleasant. The Hosts are a most welcoming couple who went out of their way to see that we were comfortable and gave us very valuable tips on were to dine out and how to get around although you might think it is a bit far from the center you get to pass through the major shopping roads so that could be considered a plus for who wants to shop!!!! and it is very close to the central station and airport so finding it and getting to other places is very easy. The place was remarkably clean and internet and TV services were included, their is also a very pretty terrace were you can chill out too. A continental Breakfast was available too with coffee making facilities and freshly home made cakes found every day which we enjoyed very much On visiting Pisa again this will surely be our choice.
Via Della Spina Alessandro 5/7/9Excellent 90%
mareen.wel "A casa doina" is a really kind place to stay, actually two minutes from the airport of Pisa. There is no noise caused by planes, but you find a little garden, and a nice familiar house. The owners are very friendly and help you wherever they can. It is overall clean and in its simplicity very lovely. There are only three rooms that can be booked, I think. The nice bathroom is shared. Travellers often stay only for one night to take their plane early in the morning. Actually I would think to stay there for more time as well, because the station of pisa central, in the end, is so near (the train which parts every 30 minutes takes 5 minutes, by walk you reach the station in less than 30 minutes, just keep on walking down the road and then keep left) Maybe you are better off to stay here than in a turistic, expensive, noisy and dirty hostel in the city-center!
Alison_Pac I loved this hotel - it had an old world dignity, a great location and very good service. Very clean and comfortable, with bountiful breakfast! I'd come again very happily.
chamilton We only met Giacomo on our stay but he is a lovely warm man, a true gentleman who couldn't have been more helpful. You get the impression he would make the effort to get to know all of his guests personally and is very proud of his villa. Accommodation is very spacious and situated in lovely surroundings. The room was very clean. There was a small fault with the showerhead when we stayed but this was very minor so we didn't even think to mention it. Breakfast is typical Italian in that it seems to be quite sweet-perhaps some fruit would have been good- but there is also cereal which would cater more to Irish tastes. An airport transfer is available for an extra charge which is a definite boon if you are arriving late into Pisa airport. All in all a great base in which to explore Pisa and the Cinqueterre.
coynemaria It was an excellent B&B. It was the best accommodation we stayed in during our three weeks travelling around Italy. The host was very friendly and gave us great advice. I would definately reccomend this B&B for anyone.
Via Carlo Francesco Gabba, 17Great 80%
Alison_Pac This is a very nice guest house with friendly, accomodating staff and owner. It was very handy for both station and airport bus, and really only 10-15 minutes walk to central Pisa. My only 'criticism' would be that the bathroom is not ensuite so showering and going to the loo felt like a bit of an expedition! However, it was very very clean - no complaints at all. A huge breakfast was available in a pretty room overlooking the garden. Disabled people would find the steps up to the guesthouse difficult.

You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn't doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman's looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she's ugly, but everyone else thinks you're an idiot.

I'd love to give a huge shout-out to Laverne Mann. She was one of the first librarians I interacted with when I started getting involved in my local library organization, and has been an inspiration to me ever since. She also was kind enough to nominate me as a Mover & Shaker this year, and although I didn't end up making the final cut, I think she is wonderful for trying.
Laverne was recently named the director of Cherry Hill Public Library, and I think they're incredibly lucky to be getting her. She's not only a great librarian, but she's passionate about comics and graphic novels, and she's a fellow fangirl and pin-up librarian. All in all, she's the bee's knees!!!

10 Questions a Pro-Choice Candidate Is Never Asked by the Media
Debate moderators and reporters love to ask pro-life candidates hard questions about abortion. Curiously, they don't do the same for pro-choice candidates.
*** begin quote ***
Here are 10 questions you never hear a pro-choice candidate asked by the media:
1. You say you support a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices in regards to abortion and contraception. Are there any restrictions you would approve of?
2. In 2010, The Economist featured a cover story on "the war on girls" and the growth of "gendercide" in the world – abortion based solely on the sex of the baby. Does this phenomenon pose a problem for you or do you believe in the absolute right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy because the unborn fetus is female?
3. In many states, a teenager can have an abortion without her parents' consent or knowledge but cannot get an aspirin from the school nurse without parental authorization. Do you support any restrictions or parental notification regarding abortion access for minors?
*** end quote ***
First three question are great.
Seems like we could split the "pro-choice" front?

Supremes asked to restore speech rights to pro-lifers
Published: 1 day ago
by BOB UNRUH
*** begin quote ***
A Colorado court's decision that revealing the truth about abortion – through images of the results of the violent procedures – can be banned is being challenged before the U.S. Supreme Court by pro-life advocates who charge that such content-based restrictions are unconstitutional.
The case is being presented to the high court by officials with the Thomas More Society, who have engaged Professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA's law school, a widely acclaimed, prolific First Amendment legal scholar and author, to take the lead.
Volokh, who blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy, drafted the petition for certiorari which was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court this week.
*** end quote ***
It's a shame we only hear of these valiant warriors in the alternative media.
I've sent them a couple of bucks from time to time.
But, does that do enough?
As a little L libertarian, I don't want the Gooferment with its heavy handed one size fits all diktats forcing people to do or not do anything. That includes restricting "free speech" because the truth is unpleasant.
Abortion should make people sick.
It should be the rarest of procedures. For the life of the mother. Really, not some fakey diagnosis. Rape and incest. Hard choices for any women without my help or the thugs pretending to "The Government". Certainly not as an alternative to birth control.
I would hope that by the beauty and logic of our arguments we can sway people to "choose life".
One way is to make it not clean and impersonal, but messy and gory and as repulsive an act as ever a man could do to a woman. (Most docs are men!)
Today's Mario Day. March 10. MAR10 get it. And I know a young Mario. I can't imagine the world without him. I don't know how he will turn out, but he's got a right to life. He had an older sister who he never knew. She "failed to thrive". But she had every chance. I don't know how she would have turned out. But I saw the pain of her loss in all my loved ones.
I keep coming back to the same point. We know so much but understand too little. Supposed one of these aborted babies was "scheduled" to cure cancer, bring world peace, or compose beautiful music. And, that has been lost forever. Like when you played the original Adventure computer game, if you killed the bird, then you could never get by the snake. (It's a computer geek axiom, "don't kill the bird", meaning you don't know what you may need later.)
So I'll say prayer that this case goes "Life's way". And, I'll be more alert to help the cause in the future.

Health Teen Succumbs to Cancer After Stopping Treatment to Deliver Healthy Baby Boy
Posted on December 27, 2011 at 7:36pm by Liz Klimas
*** begin quote ***
POCATELLO, Idaho (TheBlaze/AP) — This is not the storyline you may expect in the case of teen pregnancy. Jenni Lake gave birth to a baby boy the month before her 18th birthday, though she was not destined to become just another teenage mother.
While being admitted to the hospital, she pulled her nurse down to her at bed level and whispered into her ear. The nurse would later repeat the girl's words to comfort her family, as their worst fears were realized a day after Jenni's baby was born.
"She told the nurse, 'I'm done, I did what I was supposed to. My baby is going to get here safe,'" said Diana Phillips, Jenni's mother.
*** end quote ***
[JR: You have to just marvel at humans. Facing her own mortality, she chose to give her child the chance for life. Now, I don't know what's right and wrong. I'm sure my fellow alums would know better than I. Pre-marital sex, bad. Killer cancer, bad. Motherless child, bad. imho Life, good. I'm not a great ethicist, just a fat old white guy injineer who will say a prayer tonight for Mother and Child. And, all who have taken that final journey. I think, in the end, the girl / woman did her best in a tough situation. Hope I never find myself in such. I need little challenges; commensurate with my limited abilities. I'll leave the heroic choices, challenges, and labors to the real heros. My fellow alums.]

You've come to the right place! There has never been a better time for women to take the lead in their life and businesses. 2014 is going to be a powerful shift for you!
Whether you are single, married or your children have just gone back to school or left the nest, this is the time to show up for yourself.
So what's keeping you stuck? Bottom line: many of us are setting ourselves up for failure. We do this by setting unrealistic expectations for our goals and timelines. We complicate our business and allow our fears to dictate our outcomes. We believe that its "too late," we are not "good enough," "who would listen to me?" and "who am I to…?"
- Mary Kay
You weren't born to play small. You were born to show up boldly and courageously. You were born to: fulfill your dreams, live with joy and embrace your family and get back to play.
While you may be wishing you could make more money, have more time, balance and fun, you won't achieve this until you relinquish your limiting beliefs. Lauri's 7-Steps to more time, money and play will show you:

But, if you have solid sewing skills and a strong desire for a tailored jacket, I believe this will get you from point A to point B faster than just about any other way. If your collar is not a shawl collar, he explains that you can re-draft the undercollar to connect to the body of the jacket. Kenneth has a clever way of adding a seam to the upper collar, which makes it look just like a notched lapel. It also looks a lot easier than sewing a pattern with a real lapel. My pattern is not a shawl collar, and we did not re-draft the lower collar to fit onto the body, so that method is out for me.

Vt. Legislature OKs gas tax increaseBy John Dillon
Vermont Public Radio | April 25,2013Legislation that will raise gas and diesel taxes May 1 has passed the Legislature and is on its way to the governor for his signature.
The House on Wednesday quickly approved a compromise transportation bill that includes the tax hike.
Rep. Patrick Brennan, R-Chittenden, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said the bill strikes a middle ground between the House and Senate versions.
With a little back and forth I think weve come to a place where we can actually make this tax package a little more palatable, if thats possible, Brennan said.
Under the legislation, gas taxes would rise 5.9 cents in May, while diesel taxes will increase by 2 cents in July.
A year later, the tax on diesel goes up another penny, for a total increase of 3 cents.
The goal behind raising the fuel taxes was to match $56 million in federal funds targeted for road and bridge repair.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and legislative leaders said without the tax, Vermont would not be able to spend some of the federal money.
The House had originally wanted slightly higher tax increases. But Brennan said negotiators agreed to use a one-time appropriation as well as money generated by the diesel tax to make up the difference.
The final vote was 107-36, with many Republicans voting against the increase. Rep. Brian Savage, R-Swanton, said many of his constituents opposed the tax hike.
Working Vermonters will again be the brunt of this choice to raise the gas and diesel taxes, Savage said. Our small businesses, along the New Hampshire and Massachusetts border are already at significant disadvantage and this will make it worse.
The House vote was followed by approval in the Senate. Leaders in both chambers wanted swift approval of the measure so it could become law in time to generate revenue in May.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A succession of state officials asked a legislative committee Friday to maintain or...

Over three millennia ago Egyptian craftsmen were decorating their work with inlays of small intricate patterns of ebony, ivory, and other exotic materials. We will learn the same technique, after first making some of the necessary tools — micro chisels and scratch stocks.
This class will cover delicate string or line inlays, larger surface inlays such as panels, making and inlaying patterned bandings, and using non-wood materials such as silver and shell. We will also focus on complementary decorative edges, side beads and proud cockbeads used to highlight the edge of a table apron or drawer.
We will work almost entirely by hand, so naturally sharpening, tuning , and using hand tools will be an important emphasis. Students will work on sample boards to practice designing and using these decorative techniques. You should bring along your own hand tools but please feel free to use the school's tools.
Class size 10
Cost $450
Materials Charge: $40

I am curious, they ask for customer feedback about a product, then I am confused when they say this: Thank you for submitting feedback on your Amazon Marketplace order. We regret to inform you that your recent feedback has been removed. We highly value customer input, however we occasionally remove feedback that does not meet our feedback guidelines.
Sounds like censorship on free speech or some monopoly on whom they do business with. what are these guidelines???

I tried out the Prime service for a year, deciding that I would see how well it served my family over that year and whether we would keep it or not. Well, we have THOROUGHLY enjoyed the service let me tell you. And even though we are located in one of those 'taxing' states, it really has not deterred us from using Amazon now that they tack on sales tax for items. Very good service and we rarely have to return things.
Thanks for such a great service.

I love using Amazon to order things, whether because it's cheaper in bulk or it's a product that my local brick and mortar stores have stopped carrying. Their shipping is fairly reasonable anyhow, but their Prime option is wonderful, since it gets you free 2-day shipping. There is a fee for this service, but there are a few ways you can get a membership or a trial for free, such as being a student or being a mother. You can also upgrade to one-day shipping for a very nominal fee--and yes, it's much less than what overnight shipping would usually cost. I've done this a few times, but their two-day shipping truly is, and I trust them on that matter. Their customer service department, although I've only had to encounter them once or twice, was wonderful, polite and helpful. I've also used Amazon's trade-in service to sell back some electronics and textbooks, and it was awesome. They pay for the shipping, and their offer was better than any of the other sites I checked in with. Payment is quick and simple. I will continue to use Amazon for these purposes--and heck, probably even more--in the future.

I have loved amazon since I first was introduced to it many years ago. It is the perfect online store, easy to use for buying and selling. I especially like how easy it is to find the best price on an item, and how it is usually the lowest you will find an item anywhere on the internet. They also have a great system for selling/ trade-ins. You can easily set up a seller account and post almost anything you want for sale, and it even shows you what the current lowest price is for the item you're selling. You can also trade in textbooks for credit (I use to buy next years books) which is really great. You can also use multiple accounts to pay for things, which makes it easy to keep track of spending on different cards. Also, the MTurk program is a great way to make money through amazon. Overall, I think Amazon is the nuber one online marketplace simply due to the ease of use and the massive selection. They seriously have everything from clothes to electronics to furniture to auto parts and ton more. Anyone who doesn't use amazon is really missing out on great deals and savings.

I have been using Amazon for about three years. I signed up for the Amazon Prime account and have been using it ever since. When using amazon, it seems like the best purchases to make are the ones associated with Amazon Prime, even if you don't have an account. The venders who are eligible for it usually ship faster, and have higher quality products. That makes Prime a nice feature even for those who don't buy it. If you do buy it, however, you get free 2-day shipping! As well as some other random and rather useless extra features. If you don't use the Prime venders to make purchases, it can be a risky venture. There have been a couple of occasions where there was no other option. So, I ordered a non-prime product. On both occasions, the products took weeks to arrive! In fact, I am still waiting on a book that I ordered over three weeks ago! Amazon can be great at times and a life-saver. Other times, it can be a terrible experience. It really depends on the vender from whom you are buying. At the end of the day, Amazon is just an interface for connection. It is the buyers and sellers that make the experience.

Amazon is an extremely convenient and easy to use company that makes life easier. I purchase everything there, including books, movies, toys, shoes, clothes, beauty products, even random things like dog food and treats. The prices are great and it's so convenient. I love the Amazon Prime program. It's definitely worth paying around $75 a year for this service since it allows me to have free 2 day shipping on so many items. The set up of the website is very easy to use and navigate. Amazon makes shopping online fun and convenient. They also have really great customer service. Recently I purchased something from there and then changed my mind about the product before it arrived. I tried to initiate a return and received a message saying they would let me keep the item and still refund my purchase amount as a token of appreciation for being a loyal customer. Wow! Most companies would never do that and I was able to re-gift the now free item to a friend who really appreciated it. I will always be a loyal Amazon customer. I am even thinking about buying a Kindle because I love Amazon so much and would rather have their e reader than a competitor?s.

Statement as distributed Monday by the Allen County SPCA:
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Oct. 21, 2013) – The PETCO Foundation has awarded the Allen County SPCA a $12,000 grant to assist the shelter in its efforts to help more felines. The campaign called, "Fall for Felines" will allow the shelter to maintain its feline adoption fee at $10 per cat or kitten for the remainder of the year. The normal fee is $70.
"We see a significant increase in feline adoptions when we are able to reduce the fee. Those additional adoptions mean more lives saved," said Jessica Henry, shelter director. "Plus, every feline has been spayed or neutered, which we know will help reduce pet overpopulation in our community." Henry continued, "We are immensely grateful to the PETCO Foundation for supporting our efforts to encourage feline adoption and save more lives."
Adoptable felines are located at the shelter at 4914 S. Hanna Street or inside the PetSmart stores on Lima Road or in the Apple Glen shopping center.
The Allen County SPCA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has been providing shelter to northeast Indiana's homeless cats and dogs for over 60 years. Our mission is to promote the prevention of cruelty to animals by providing a safe haven for animals, an effective and comprehensive adoption program, education and outreach programs for the community and deep and broad membership and volunteer programs.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
The Petco Foundation's mission is to raise the quality of life for pets and people who love and need them. The Petco Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that supports other IRS (Internal Revenue Service) designated non-profit pet related groups as well as municipal/governmental agencies and educational institutions involved in animal causes.

Do you think you can make it out of Denver? Hell, yes!
What's your idea of "making it"?Martin: To headline at the 9:30 Club in D.C. to a sold-out crowd. Willis: Being recognized as a national act, and being able to live comfortably from touring, playing shows, selling our music.
What local artist(s) are you most excited about?No Fair Fights, no question.
What albums have had the biggest impact on you?Coheed & Cambria; the Chili Peppers, Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik; every Fugazi album; all Metallica; all U2; the Boys Night Out; Train Wreck. Willis: Incubus, Make Yourself; 311, Evolver.
What artists have had the biggest impact on you?Same as above.
Myspace: godsend or the devil?Godsend for us.
Do you have an iPod? If so, who's on it right now?Martin: Ranges from Sly and the Family Stone to Funeral for a Friend!
Website:www.renodivorceonline.com, www.myspace.com/ renodivorceonline
Personnel:Brent Loveday (lead guitar, vocals); Tim Jadowski (bass, backing vocals); Andrew Eric (drums, Pure Evil); Johnny Smith (backing vocals, harmonies).
Native or Transplant?All four of us are from different states.
Releases/Discography: Naysayers and Yesmen/Laugh Now Cry Later ( 2005, Street Anthem Records ); Laugh Now Cry Later EP (2004, Boss Tuneage Records); You're Only Making It Worse (2003, Boss Tuneage Records); Naysayers and Yesmen (2002, Boss Tuneage Records); Web of Lies EP (1997, Bomb Records). Featured on several compilation albums over the years.
Describe your music in a sentence: Well, we have been told, "Loud, fast, dirty -- no, FILTHY -- punk rock and roll."
Do you think you can make it out of Denver?We already have.
What is your idea of "making it"? When you look in the crowd and there's a good healthy pit going, and everyone is singing along to your songs, even in places you have never been before, and they ask, "When are you coming back?"
What local artists are you most excited about? Well, besides the longstanding bands in this town that we play with, like King Rat, Dr. Neptune, Bold Type, the Swanks, Whiskey Kiss and Frontside Five, there are several new up-and-comers that we feel are going to make a good impact on our genre. Bands like Alcoholiday, the Allergies, Red Stinger, Jett Black, the Susceptibles and Ghost Blood. We know there are a lot more great bands in Colorado; we just haven't had the pleasure of sharing the stage with them yet. Don't just wait for the Warped Tour to come to town once a year. Get out of the 'burbs and see the great bands we have right here in your own back yard. Yes, folks, Denver has a great punk-rock scene, but you'll never know sitting on the couch.
What albums have had the biggest impact on you? Not one single or even several albums can sum it all up. Guess you would have to ask each member of the band. Go to a show and ask!
What artists have had the biggest impact on you? Again, it's hard to narrow it down, since there are so many, so we'll say this: all of the great bands that have come before us, especially the So Cal punk-rock bands from the early '80s.
MySpace: godsend or the devil ? Hahaha! Both! Everyone says they hate it, but they're on there all the time, right? We like it; it's a great way to communicate with our fans and let them know what's up with the band. Is that Tom guy a real person ?
Do you have an iPod ? If so, who's on it right now?Those things hold like a million songs or something crazy like that. Don't think Westword has enough space to list them all.
Website: www.revdeadeye.com
Personnel:Reverend and my goddamn wife.
Native or transplant?Native American transplant.
Releases/discography:Singin' and Shoutin' in Yer Mama's Church (2005); Drinkin' With the Reverend (2003); Reverend Deadeye (2002).
Describe your music in a sentence:Punk-rock hillbilly gospel blues.
Do you think you can make it out of Denver?Nope, too drunk to drive.
What's your idea of "making it"?Jesus, whiskey and a soft feather bed.
What local artist(s) are you most excited about?The bands that make the Reverend's loins quiver are the Whiskey Pissin' Blues Band, Ghost Buffalo, Hexen, Monofog, Red Cloud West, American Relay and Machine Gun Blues.
What albums have had the biggest impact on you?The one that my wife done threw at me cuz she was all pissed awf.
What artists have had the biggest impact on you?Blind Willie Bukka Lemon Johnson Jefferson the III, my dad, Jesus and whiskey (oh, and that dirty ol' brother backslider).
Myspace: godsend or the devil?Nothin' made by human hands for financial gain could be anything but evil -- well, except for whiskey.
Do you have an iPod? If so, who's on it right now?I got the Quadrajets on my fancy-ass record player right now.

"...one of the nicest people on tumblr." - godiseven
I'm Brent Keane, I'm an Aussie in his mid-30's, and synchronicity, geekery & bloggery is what you'll find here. My other blog: Keane On Comics. (I'll update my FAQ page sometime soon, promise.)
Ten years ago, for a website I won't name, I wrote reviews and the like. Most of 'em were of sci-fi/fantasy films. And honestly, I'd forgotten I'd reviewed both The Matrix & its successor The Matrix Reloaded. (There's a joke there, I'm sure of it.) Anyway, here's both of 'em, they're quite short.
It's an ages old philosophical question: what is reality?
Far be it from me to attempt to answer that…but you have to give the brothers Wachowski due credit for trying. And in such a palatable method too - they manage to blend themes of self-realisation, conformity versus individuality and future shock into a film that is essentially a new-wave old-fashioned sci-fi shoot 'em up.
Granted, at times it can border on ponderous and is a little too caught up in its own mythology - but as entertainment, THE MATRIX is jaw-droppingly effective, so much so you're willing to forgive its minor shortcomings. In a sense, THE MATRIX is the best comic you've never read - and with Geof Darrow as conceptual designer and Steve Skroce as storyboard artist, there's a definite pedigree here. The codenames, fetish-style leatherwear and action scenes - standard aspects of superhero comics - are made over as new here, given reason and substance. Frankly, it's easy to see why Grant Morrison took such offence…
While THE MATRIX is not an actor's film - the special effects can be considered the true stars of the show - the performances are of a uniformly reasonable measure. Reeves' novitiate; Fishburne's charismatic revolutionary; Moss' millennium Mata Hari; and especially, Weaving's pinstriped computer program - they all lend definition to this unreality.The future depicted in THE MATRIX may not be user friendly, but the movie itself is the very best kind of thrill-ride, from start to finish. It's a rare film that makes me go wide-eyed in awe - even on repeated viewing.
I still quite like The Matrix, although I was underwhelmed by the sequels - although, as the Reloaded review opines, I was holding out some hope:
Well, damn. Now I have to come back in six months, don't I?
That was the first thing that came to mind upon leaving the theatre after the film had finished. And while I don't mind, one is left with the impression that despite the wire-fu and heavy artillery, you've watched over 2 hours of info-dump.
Make no mistake, RELOADED is fun, and serves as an excellent sequel. The much-lauded fight scene showpieces (Neo taking on multiple Agent Smiths, and the lengthy freeway chase) are definitely worth the admission price, but - and this is a Sir Mix-A-Lot sized 'but' - it is a talky film. Very talky, in fact. So much so that someone like me - who's waded through enough purple prose to choke a horse - was utterly lost during the Architect's talk with Neo (parodied to great effect during the recent MTV Movie Awards).
Again, like its predecessor, RELOADED is not a film you watch for the acting (although it is of a reasonable standard) - you watch it to see Shit Blow Up and Bad Guys Getting The Crap Beaten Out Of 'Em. If you want that, RELOADED has plenty of that in spades. If you choose to enjoy it on that level, you'll be fine, and this will leave you good and amped for REVOLUTIONS at year's end. If you dig the philosophy…well, there's plenty of that as well, but you might find yourself making for the nearest library to make sense of it.
Is RELOADED an entertaining movie? Yes. But wait until REVOLUTIONS to make your mind up fully about what the heck it all means.
Heh, Roger Ebert I wasn't!

Salvors successfully removed more than 1.02 million of the 1.26 million barrels of North Slope crude oil that were aboard. Salvors also readied the damaged vessel to be towed to a repair yard and supervised the successful operation. There are a number of other recent examples of successful salvage actions where potential pollution of the environment was avoided or minimized:
In 1993, a collision involving the tank barges Ocean 255 and BT 155 and the freighter Balsa resulted in the loss of about 6,000 barrels of refined product. The response effort was successfully carried out by the companies involved, their spill contractors, and the U.S. Coast Guard strike team. Two hundred thousand barrels of product were offloaded to other vessels without further pollution.
In 1992, the tankers Radwan and Argo Hebe collided in the Straits of Malacca, and fires broke out on both vessels. The Radwan was carrying 178,000 barrels of gasoline, the Argo Hebe 2 million barrels of crude oil. The USS Beaufort, a U.S. Navy fleet tug, which happened to be a few miles away, witnessed the collision. Within 30 minutes, the Beaufort was alongside the tankers, and Navy salvors suppressed both fires and rescued 20 sailors. (It is unlikely that the Radwan would have survived without such prompt assistance.) No pollution occurred.
In 1991, the Kirki lost its bow off the West Australian coast. The Kirki was carrying 525,000 barrels of oil. Salvors transferred all the cargo to another tanker and towed the Kirki to Singapore, averting any significant oil pollution.
In 1990, fire broke out in the engine room of the Mega Borg, which was 60 miles offshore from Galveston, Texas, close to important marine habitats. A promptly launched professional salvage effort extinguished the blaze over several days. The 120,000 barrels of oil that were lost were consumed almost entirely by the fire; the remaining 857,000 barrels were saved. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that no significant ecological damage resulted from the spill.
In 1989, the tanker Phillips Oklahoma collided with another vessel and burned off the eastern coast of England. The tanker was carrying close to 357,000 barrels of crude oil; over 5,000 barrels spilled following the collision. Due to timely salvage assistance, the fire was extinguished, and all remaining cargo was transferred to another vessel.
In 1989, the tanker Pacificos incurred serious structural damage off the South African coast while carrying over 1.67 million barrels of oil. The casualty was towed to the Mozambique Channel. Despite an initial loss of over 50,000 barrels, all remaining cargo was transferred to another tanker without further pollution.
The extent to which salvage can prevent or minimize pollution depends on the availability of salvage resources. Recognizing this dependency, some nations now provide such resources. For example, the governments of Spain and South Africa have retained salvage tugs to assist in response to ships in distress along their coasts. In France, a joint venture between the government and private salvors provides protection for the English Channel and the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines of France and Corsica. Since 1979, the retained salvage tugs have responded to more than 430 distress alerts and have carried out nearly 80 salvage operations. Regrettably, the French government has reduced the number of subsidized vessels on alert status. The objective of these government-initiated partnerships is to ensure that the capability is in place to respond rapidly and effectively to all marine emergencies, especially those with the potential to pollute the environment. The United States has not made a similar commitment but does enter into contractual arrangements with commercial salvors to maintain salvage readiness to meet the Navy's needs (see Appendix F).

These Pictures are Worth 2380 Words: Photo Essays of the Pacific Crest Trail
With the Trail, there is a definite beginning and a definite end. The markers are there, their dated, 1970s-esque posts sunk into the ground. One is near the border fences of Mexico, the other is in the midst of a clear cut that stretches up and down mountains, basically in the middle of nowhere, and makes one wonder what the hell borders like these are good for. The US of A will make its presence known, whether it be to keep out people who want a better life or to show dominance over a tract of remote land. In between these scars, thankfully, lay the path, and my job for five months was to keep walking from one post to the other. Just keep walking.
Did I have any idea what I was doing? Clearly not. One look at me says it all. Look!
Dayglo hat? Check. Granny shades big enough to fit over emo glasses? Check. Lack of proper footwear? Definitely. Pair of shorts that I hijacked from my brother's dresser two nights prior? I'm sporting them with reckless, rolled up abandon. How about that XXL North Face shirt, cost $5, and now thoroughly worn down, that I swindled in Hanover, New Hampshire, because, having hiked 500 miles without a shirt on the Appalachian Trail, I figured it was time to purchase proper "town clothes." Still got it. Worn down, washed five times too many sleeping bag that felt the presence, via piss and sweat and more piss, of all those beers on the AT? It's there. Patched up rain fly, the one without accompanying tent, stakes, and poles? Stuffed in that women's backpack somewhere. Hiking poles on loan from a good friend who bought them after a trip, years back, to Yosemite but had never once used them? A gift, I say! Old visine eyedropper bottle filled with bleach? Got that. Kindle and cell phone? May as well. Toothbrush, sawed off like a shotgun? Wouldn't leave home without it. An old cat food can with holes punched in it as a stove and some HEET from the gas station to keep the fire burning? You know it. Ceremonial smokes, of the Camel Turkish Silver variety, that a college girl I was sleeping with before heading out gave me as a present? Accounted for. Baby Bic lighter? Certainly. And five days' worth of high calorie, high sugar, high fat, high everything-bad-for-you food still wrapped up in plastic shopping bags? Well, calling it food is being kind, but I had it.
Needless to say, I was not Santa Claus when it came to preparation. I had no list, and even if I did, I wouldn't have given it the once over, let alone checked it twice. Not everyone—okay, no one—was as ill prepared as me for this adventure.
To my right, Nate, my heterosexual life partner and spirit guide through and through. He has a gift with words, and a knack for gear. Some women he's been with complain that he is more intimate with his gear than he is with them, and his latest love was that stupid cowboy hat. Any conversation for the first few weeks, inevitably, would be sucked into the black hole of his headgear. The advantages of this marvel were endless, and Nate, not much of a singer, would somehow end up singing its praises from up on high. It was a good laugh to get things off on the right foot, and it sure was good to have Nate back. He, too, was coming out of a funk. For the last year, the year after we hiked the Appalachian Trail, he was living in Birmingham, Alabama. He, like me, followed a girl, and things were not working out well. When I paid him a visit in October, six months before, I let him know that I was going to hike the PCT in 2012 come hell or high water. The invitation was there, and he took it. In the interim, he had applied to Princeton Theological Seminary, his late father's alma mater, and was accepted. Greek classes started in summer, and he was going to hike as long as he felt like he needed to hike, all the while knowing full well that his future was in his hands, or perhaps his feet.
To my left, Pip. Pip had also been along for the AT joyride, though he did not follow his girl afterward. No, no. He went west and fought fires. As part of that gig, he would sometimes go to Las Vegas for a casual rave while on the clock. On his good days, he is like a modern Huck Finn, only much, much taller. Some passersby have even called him a giant. His imagination is full of silly ideas, he tinkers with things, and he has a right hook that can knock a 250-pound man out cold. Believe me, I saw it happen behind a church in historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, on a forest floor that was littered with rusty cans, broken bourbon bottles, and the like. The victim? Another good friend who was in need of some tough love, now immortalized in the annals of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's photo album with a split open nose and hungover grin. But that's neither here nor there. Pip wasn't looking for that sort of battle, not this go round. It didn't take much to talk him into hiking again. He had some affairs in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he had wintered after his summer as a hotshot, but nothing major enough to keep him off the trail. Pip was a go.
Fourth, TC, a gentler giant. In May 2010, when Nate and Pip and I were still talking about and scheming out our imminent southbound AT jaunt, TC was going solo in SoCal. After 100 hot miles on the PCT, PCTC was no more. He phoned home. As hikers simply say, he got off trail. The promise of adventure, of diving into the unknown, was no longer with this beast of a southern man with a beastly red beard and tiny, red shorts. But he had had a taste of trail life, and that small sample was enough to draw him back out and give it another go. Equipped with new gear and a new attitude, TC was my perfect counterpart.
Fifth, and finally, there's that totem pole to the trail: the southern terminus. When compared to the majesty of the trail itself, the copse of posts piled into the earth hardly constitutes a monument. Still, for those who hike, it makes for a good photo op. "I started this thing at the start!" we say. It's a shot for the papers, like those in San Diego that ran some photos of us to let the world at large in on our little secret. Of course, no hiker would see the photos in print because the going ons of the world at large, of politics, or of disaster, had little bearing on our world.
And what a world. Unabashedly, our universe became very narrow in scope, which allowed us to have deep connection with the walking and talking that filled our days. There is an intimacy developed with repeatedly pulling up, exhausted, as the sun goes behind the mountains, always the mountains, and you fetch water from the creek, make camp, and savor the few flavors of dinner, whether all alone or with others. It's austere, yes, but only on the surface. Below it, the subjective sensations run deep. Going out for a weekend trip, however respectable it may be, is not the same as a thru-hike for there is not enough time to readjust to the rhythms of the universe. It's not so much a difference of tuning out or tuning in after months of 20 or 30 mile days. It's a matter of becoming attuned. Being attuned is awareness, both in and out.
For TC and Nate, they became attuned to the fact that they were going to stop hiking. Since their goals were not to hike the entire PCT, they were not failures. Their goals were to hike a good hike, and that they did. Nate hung up his hiking hat. However, it was no longer the cheap bundle of straw. No, that piece of shit fell apart after 600 miles of love. In its stead was a cheap Remington ballcap. Still a piece of shit, but a newer, usable, lovable piece of shit that got him to the schoolyard back at Princeton so he could hit the books before a full fall schedule. TC, on the other hand, had eschewed his tiny, red shorts for a carbon copy, essentially, the only difference was that they were blue. New shorts, new man. At the end of the day, TC had bested his 100 miles, call it his trail of tears, and made it 1,000 miles to the Mecca of US National Parks, Yosemite. There he got off trail, rode into San Francisco with my father and brother and Nate, and surprised his then girlfriend by asking her to take his dirt encrusted hand in marriage.
It was weird to no longer be with "The Frat," as some other saunterers started to call us. As a group, we were quite rambunctious, loud, and, admittedly, annoying. Maybe that had to do with the fact that we had actually begun hiking, from day one, under the team name, "The Artful Dodgers," though that quickly fell into disuse. It didn't fit us, so we eventually came up with "The Greater Sheboygan Metropolitan Area Mall Walkers' Association," or "The Mall Walkers" for short. That, it seems, didn't help our case in terms of endearing us to other hikers. At least, not immediately. By the time we all congregated not far from the Yosemite Valley Chapel to celebrate our hike, illegally with some Bookers' bourbon, we had been on trail for a week shy of two months. Our bonds, inside jokes, and demeanor certainly were juvenile. But it kept us going, even if it meant going a little insane, too.
Three months and a week later, Pip and I reached that other copse of posts as transformed beings. Our appearances, unmistakable. I guess that's what happens when you are on a shoestring budget and don't give a flying fuck as long as you are out walking. Wild, right? Hence the black and orange Frankensocks on Pip's feet, the butterfly sweater I had to don after my women's silk blouse, the one replete with built in shoulder pads for comfort that cost a whopping $2, literally fell off my back a day before the finish. The Umbros? An illusion. They're some knock off brand I picked up at a thrift shop in Burney, California, on a respite from one of my three visits to the local McDonald's that day. Nevermind that the crotch ripped out. Nothing a little floss can't stitch back together. Gone were the toughest socks known to man, Darn Toughs, the socks made from 100% pure kitten's fur. In lieu of the best, I settled for the worst, most generic pair of white athletic socks one could find precisely because one could find them. They served their purpose, and they served it well. And what of those emo glasses? Where did they end up? The bottom of Lake Chelan.
Only 70 miles from British Columbia, I was going against the advice of a United States National Park Service Ranger who told me that I should not jump off a 40 foot cliff into Lake Chelan because it was dangerous. How dangerous, I asked. Dangerous enough, apparently, that a kid recently broke his back and wound up paralyzed by his leap of foolish faith. I promptly asked the ranger to direct me to this point on the map. She told me that if I knew where to look, I'd find it in a few short minutes as long as I turned left out of the park headquarters. Sure enough, Pip and I found it. At this point in time, I was not the goddamn teetotaler I am today, so suffice it to say, I was raring to go with plenty of bourbon and beer pumping through my veins. I should mention, too, that Pip's mom, Helen, accompanied us to the cliff. All I asked of her was to take photos, to document our downfall. In giddy schoolgirl fashion, Pip and I craned our necks over the ledge to see what exactly we had signed up for.
This was our line of reasoning: Fuck. Fuck it. Face your fears. Fly and fall.
So we did. This wasn't our first aerial rodeo, and on my previous jumps I had always taken my glasses with me, in hand, so that, upon arising from the cold waters, I could see in clarity the surrounding beauty. It'd always worked fine, thus I declined Helen's invitation to safeguard my glasses while I leaped and swam back to shore.
That is how I lost my one and only pair of glasses. I never carried a backup or spare anything. It seemed silly because I could easily get what I needed with a little patience and perseverance. The Trail, as the mantra goes, provides. I'd encountered countless, beautiful instances of this over the previous five months, and being within one resupply of the end, it was another instance of magical, dumb luck that when I, dripping wet and caught in a drunkenness with life and libation, walked back into the park headquarters they had a pair of glasses in their lost and found that worked. Stunning.
My transformation now complete, it was easy to see that I had more in common with Santa Claus than I initially realized. Those glasses were a perfect fit and were a fitting end to our sauntering sojourn. From the getgo, all of us at the terminus had one desire, one passion: to hike. When people ask what the trail was like, I am humbled by the immensity of the experiences in which I partook or witnessed, and the only way I know how to begin to explain it is by saying, "In the beginning, we had our word. In the end, we have our words."

I think an XL would be too loose for me but it depends how you like the fit. Only gripe I would have ( and It's with most jerseys ) is that its nearly see through and looks a bit odd when you can see the bib shorts under it. The price you pay for a light summer jersey.

I purchased this Omega Pharma Quick Step Team Full Zip SS Jersey for my 13 year old son who I should mention is not lightly built but by no means overweight. I initially ordered him a large size. This arrived promptly within two days however the jersey did seem rather tight on him. As a rider myself I do know the cut of these garments are supposed to be fitted close but he really had no room whatsoever. As he is a growing lad I returned the item for the same in xxxlarge. This may seem excessive but myself and more importantly my son have been more than happy with the new size. It is still well fitted, not baggy at all but with enough room for a base layer too.
The quality of the jersey is very good, stylish and with a full length zip which is a nice addition.
I have no faults with the jersey itself but the size guide was a bit of a way off, you might need to go a size or two up on your usual jersey size.

The Queen's State of Marvin Alexander is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 23.06 billion, 5 million of whom are zombies, Marvin Alexanderians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
The government is avowedly atheist, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marvin Alexander's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, its national religion is none, and its currency is the betale.

Letter to the Editor: Far left doesn't want to hear ideas that aren't their own
I read Gene Rigelon's letter to the editor today, Oct. 5, that was in response to Jane Silek's letter. The more I read, the more confused I became. I recalled reading Silek's letter, and could not remember anything that was so awful about it! So I went to the Northern Virginia Daily's website and pulled up her letter. Nothing egregious about her letter at all, but what apparently irritated Rigelon was that someone would dare critize the "annointed one" at all!
I discovered from Rigelon's letter that Silek was representing the right, and that she was only "inflaming" the public to make President Barack Obama a one-term president. I'll bet Silek didn't realize what lofty goals she had when she sat down at her keyboard that day! But further, Rigelon implies that Silek is motivated by fear that her "all-white male heirarchy is being threatened" and that "they will vigorously deny it." The Left never misses a chance to play the race card, but it does get old!
Mr Rigelon is a very good example of those on the far left. They share this idea that they somehow have a right not to hear, see, become aware of, or even be able to imagine any ideas that don't square with their world view.
G.A. Settle, Front Royal

We all make typos but getting your title lead in right is important. That said, how anyone can actually read Gene's letter, then go back and look at Silek's straight up lies and then claim there is nothing egregious......
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.~Abraham Lincoln
*I know quotes are Jane's thing but it was the first thought that came to mind.
Dear Mr. D. A. Settle,
Did you learn the debating tactic named "The Gish Gallop" by observing the performance of your friends, Paul Romney and Mitt Ryan?
The Gish Gallop, named after creationist Duane Gish, is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments that the opponent cannot possibly answer every falsehood in real time. The term was coined by Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education. Sam Harris describes the technique as "starting 10 fires in 10 minutes"
In a debate on the morality of America's Founding Fathers, a Gish Gallop might look like this:
"Sure we think that they were good folks, but did you know that Washington not only had more than 100,000 slaves, but he also staged gladiatorial games and made them fight to the death? He also ran a network of opium dens and used his gladiators as couriers to deliver opium all over the 52 states. In fact Washington's opium smuggling got so bad that the British had to step in which caused the Opium War that led to the Revolutionary War and John Locke's famous statement that he had to be given the liberty to smoke opium, or he'd prefer death. That also points out another problem, in that most of the Founding Fathers were part of Washington's opium cult and Ben Franklin's most harmful invention was actually a process to purify the active ingredient in opium and inject it. That's right, Ben Franklin invented heroin! What's more, by the time Andrew Jackson was president the US government was so full of drug addicts that they created a soft drink that was just a way to get cocaine into their systems. Don't believe me? It was called Coca Cola because it was a cola with cocaine in it. Go look it up and you'll find I'm right, coca cola really did contain cocaine!"
Mitt Ryan and Paul Romney have published their tax plan to lower taxes and create jobs.
For a detailed explanation of how the Paul Romney- Mitt Ryan tax plan is able to cut taxes by $5 trillion without raising taxes on the middle class or exploding the deficit:
I promise you will love this.
It is so amusing, in an ironic sort of way, to watch the constant infighting between the two factions of the Dominionist Empire Musical Chairs Party.
I did go back to the original archived letter from October 2 and found this little gem:
"Has he failed to notice that we are under attack in the Middle East ..."
Surely you will note that the attack did not take place in Kansas or Nebraska or Missouri or anywhere within the continental USA where the PEOPLE of the USA have a legitimate interest.
Instead, the attack took place in a region where it has been demonstrated repeatedly that the RESIDENTS of that area do not want outsiders messing around in their tribal insanities.
I still plan on voting for our neighbor's cat. It comes to see us frequently because it is welcome here. Cats are smart enough to stay away from places where they are not wanted.
If theocracies are bad (and they are), then why do the American people allow a theocracy to continue growing here?
OK, all-righty then, here is a "great" idea that is not from a left-leaning liberal think tank urging you to vote for his cat that I am almost 100% convinced G.A. Settle will approve: Overthrow 100 years of progress on women's suffrage issues....
"Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting."
"There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women," she says. "They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men."
... or Google for your own version of "tea party women shouldn't vote".
We all love Bill O'Riley when he addresses women as "the ladies" and Rubbish Limbaugh's use of the endearment term, "FemiNazi's". This takes the issue out of the realm of 'dog whistles' and into the more descriptive 'fog horn'.
We all make typos.......
But you just ignored that part of the sentence right? If I want someone to pay attention and believe me, then my first sentence should at least make sense.
How should one respond to a double down of even another persons easily proven lies? Please provide some insight. The first letter contained nothing but some off the wall teabilly logic that I don't think even Fox Spews would try to sell. I'd bet they even had the President's comments to America on air the following morning. It was bad enough that someone would actually have the "brass" to publicly create a whole fantasy line of events, but then after more than one reader responds setting the story straight, another chimes in saying they saw nothing wrong with the lies....I understand, really I do. When your candidate is out there politicizing the whole event before families are even notified of their lost loved ones, it kinda gives the green light on any random pig shite flies, right?
BTW...A "troll" is a person who visits sites to attack commentators while not contributing even one iota of information to the topic. Sound familiar?
To Silek and Settle: Ignore the attempt by these leftists to rain on our pre-victory parade. They are on-line bullies who browbeat everyone who is disappointed with the failed policies of the exalted one with a constant barrage of blue tinted smoke and mirrors.
BTW katybug, I know you are a stickler for references. This reference strongly suggests that Lincoln is not the origin of "Better to remain silent..." More likely is Maurice Switzer, perhaps drawing from the Bible. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-silent/
So, you 'may' be correct. A google search provides both sites that give the claim to Lincoln as being the most known person to reference it and ones that can't link it to Lincoln (as yours).
We can attach the quote to anyone or anything you like, its meaning remains. It does not change the fact that one writer submitted a complete fantasy piece. Not one, or two, but three other writers have written in to call said writer out on her rather poor attempt at fooling the ignorant. Ignorant in this case actually being those who had no idea the President was in fact in front of the American people the next day, along with other, more disgusting lies.
Perhaps you should look for a point that you can actually debate with factual information instead of running story to story pouting and flinging insults because your own attempts to mislead failed. What did the third write in say? Oh yeah, turn off the boob tube.
Valley Patriot, Why is it that the left can 'browbeat' you? You accuse the left of doing cut and paste postings; however, you to the same, don't you? Have you ever posted anything as fact on this site that was truth? If you can prove our posting wrong, please--as a service to the other readers--please do. I love to learn new things; that said I am not interested in new lies.
Romney is doing 360 degree turns on almost every topic discussed, that doesn't bother you????
@ jane re October 21, 2012 12:21 PM post:
I should have been more specific, given the audience. I was, and am, referring to references that are repetitively posted on numerous blog pages.
As to my posts, have I ever posted anything as fact on this site that was false...not knowingly. And I usually don't attempt to disprove another post. It's futile and only agitates. Besides I don't often see outright mistakes or "lies" as you call them. I see folks trying to prove their points. I just wish some of them would find new ways to do it. For example, I know you guys think Romney/Ryan would lie if the truth served them better. OK, I get it. But you don't have to post the same reference in every discussion.
Last, jane, you said you are not interested in new lies and you continuously howl about "...the same old lies." The only thing left is to start reading some of Obama's.
vp, The problem is that Romney has reversed his stand on EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING of substance. If you are really following him, you must be aware of that. He is SO deceitful that I don't understand how anyone can trust him. Also his reaction to anyone who challenges him is meant with aggression--not exactly a reaction one expects in a leader.
The Salt Lake City Tribune supports Obama. If you haven't read their reason, you really should.
Truth is very important to me. Just a few minutes ago, my husband was reading our FB page and there is a posting showing Ann Romney. claiming that she made a statement so far fetched that we both looked it up and found it to be a fabrication. He emailed the poster to advise that Snopes labeled it false and hopefully our friend will remove that post..
V.P. says, "-----our pre-victory parade". I don't think if you are smart, V.P., you better have a pre-victory anything just yet for Romney. Of course, that kind of boast many times is just pure bluster and everyone recognizes it as such. You no more know for sure who is going to win this election any more than I do. From what I have read from numerous sources both "left" and "right", this is going to be a very close election and no one with any real knowledge can honestly say for sure right now who will be the winner.
And if Romney wins the election? Not only does that spell bad news for the middle class and the future for this country, but will be cause for those of you on the "far right" to be real nervous. You can try to console yourselves, "better than Obama", but Romney is not one of your "dependable conservatives". Romney has shown more times than can be counted that he will so glibly say anything and do anything to get elected going back and forth on positions. He has gone from being a big-time Massachusetts moderate when governor of the state (Romney Care! etc.), to the "severely conservative" candidate during the primaries, then etch-a-sketch flip-flop back to "moderate Mitt" just before the election. He will change sometimes in a matter of hours, on what he says he "believes" in and will do as president. He has made it plain that he does not have a core.
And if this country is so unfortunate as to get Romney as president, he will be immediately looking toward a second term----more reason for lots of questions on "which Mitt" will show up any day of the week and which "way" he will go on the issues.
