Bi the Way
Last week, I had a conversation, with my cousin Lee, about a recent trend she's been observing in her entourage. It went a little something like this:
Lee: So I'm going through Facebook pics of an old friend from High School, and I stumbled on one were she is totally tongue deep in some girls mouth. What's up with that? She's straight or I mean, I've always known her to be.
Elle: Interesting… Who is this girl? Is she hot?
Lee: Elle!! Focus… That's not my point.
Elle: Well maybe she's curious… Or came out, I don't know…
Lee: Or Bisexual. How do you know for sure anyways if you're gay or bi? I mean it's such a fine line no?
Actually, no it's not a fine line, in my opinion. I have often said that I believe sexuality is a spectrum, and that every person places somewhere on that continuum. I don't believe you can be 100% anything in life, certainly not when talking about sexual orientation. Of course you can and will have preferences and that's how usually you will identify your sexuality.
If I had a dollar for every girl that told me she was bisexual (including myself at some point), I would have lots of money to buy a two bedroom condo with a parking space, in Manhattan, to share with a pretty lesbian. You get my point. Girls, mostly and I'll get to that in part 2 of this article, are claiming bisexuality like the world is running out and you better get yours while it's hot. Some are actually bisexual, and others say they are when really they fit into one of these categories.
- She may just be an attention whore, trying to give the surrounding males a semi.
- She may have trust issues with men or may not be sexually satisfied, "my boyfriend wont give me head." Guys Tr-eat your girl right.
- Or she may have been charmed by a girl exuding sex. This happens, and it can be either out of curiosity or envy.
It is not abnormal for a woman to be attracted to other women and openly act on it. If this has happen to you, ask yourself this question, "how many drinks did I have that night?" I am not trying to belittle your experience, trust me. I say this because often when people drink they tend to act on desires, letting their horniness come out to play. So making out with a girl when you're drunk can just mean that you are curious, and that's a very normal thing. Good for you for trying new things. Don't panic, you're not gay or bi because you kissed a girl – maybe chill out on the Katy Perry.
To be considered truly bisexual, I believe, you need two things: attraction and emotional drive.
Attraction doesn't mean, once in a while (or often), you visit the "girl on girl" category of your favorite spank site, or that you think the girl in Robin Thicke's Blurred lines video is hot. Her name is Emily Ratajkowski, and I think we can universally agree that she's slamming. What it means is that a girl can give you that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach, the butterflies, for lack of a better expression. The excitement of being hopelessly in a trance of attraction by this person.
If you wake up having a panic attack, because there's a girl in your bed you've slept with and no man as a buffer, and feel like you need an Ativan to calm your tits, you're NOT bisexual. She might be drop dead gorgeous, but you're still trying to figure out what drugs lead you to go down on her?! The only thing you want to do is pull a Houdini, disappear, hoping you will never bump into her again. If you think this is your shameful little secret, maybe you shouldn't go around announcing that you're a bi-curious girl.
However if you're stone cold sober the next morning, finding yourself wanting this person to stay in your bed, so you could share lattes together in a pile of covers, you might have a petit penchant for the same gender. Basically, you see yourself developing a crush on this person, and repeating the deed without the help of illicit substances. You've got a base going.
What I'm saying is you see the possibility of developing feelings as much as much as you would for the opposite gender, equally. Bisexuality means that you are completely bias as to the gender of your next lover, it just really, TRUELY, doesn't matter to you. In my experience, this is quite rare.
Stay tuned for part 2 of Bi the Way… There's more.
Peace, I'm out.

restarting lpd
so i ran into balthisar's lpd bug & fiddled around for a while. i'm reasonably sure that simply killing & restarting lpd then doing an 'lpc restart all' brings things back to life. the only odd part (for me anyways) is that lpd is running from /usr/libexec/lpd which is kind of an odd place for a daemon to run from. no matter, all i did was to 'ps ax|grep lpd' then killed the process number (actually tried a HUP but it didn't come back to life), then restarted it '/usr/libexec/lpd' and then 'lpc restart all' and wham, my print job came out of the printer.

This review is from: TRENDnet TV-IP572PI 1280 x 800 MAX Resolution RJ45 Megapixel PoE Day / Night Internet Camera
Pros: Great, I have it running in an unheated barn with no issues.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: This is not a wide angle camera. This might restrict mounting locations.

Good but not perfect
This review is from: TRENDnet TV-IP572PI 1280 x 800 MAX Resolution RJ45 Megapixel PoE Day / Night Internet Camera
Pros: PoE.... Good resolution.... PoE.... Decent management options, compatible with open source solutions.... PoE, on board SD card, decent night vision quality.
Cons: Tacky branding on the face of the camera sure to attract attention, Normal viewing angle not designed to accept aftermarket wide angle adapters, no way for automated or bulk collection of recordings from SD cards, h.264 compression is anything but quality.
Other Thoughts: Bought 3 for my office and I love the POE setup - very easy to deploy, access live feed and setup. The built-in management interface offers good options but suffers from some major omissions such as the ability to download stored recordings in bulk remotely. The other gripe I have (and this applies to most of the cameras out there) is that the lens can not accept any aftermarket adapters to broaden the field of view. While most of the time the default viewing angle is ok, mounting them in confined spaces (like a tiny storage room 10 x 6) gives you partial coverage. Finally, as mall gripe -- the branding on the front of the camera is annoying - tacky lettering instead of plain white shell that could blend with white ceilings. One word about the h.264 which I was expecting to give good results with higher resolutions... The onboard compression is sub-par in terms of quality and I ended up using the mpeg4 format for the recordings and even live viewing. And finally the motion recording scheduling -- well, it's not very flexible. If you're looking to allow motion triggered recording your options are: ALWAYS/NEVER, Mon - Sun with only one set of hours for all days (same hours every day) -- overall not very flexible setting.

Works well for the pricetag
This review is from: TRENDnet TV-IP572PI 1280 x 800 MAX Resolution RJ45 Megapixel PoE Day / Night Internet Camera
Pros: This camera works very well with Zoneminder (a linux based surveillance system) and also seems to be rock solid so far.
Cons: The FOV (Field of vision) or commonly called angle of sight is rather narrow. I'd say from a 20ft distance, you wont be able to see more than 30ft wide. From my living room's corner, I can barely capture the entire living room and its not a big house at all.
Other Thoughts: Good overall surveillance camera, without any auxiliary surveillance system, the camera can perform very well on its own with a SD card.

great camera!
This review is from: TRENDnet TV-IP572PI 1280 x 800 MAX Resolution RJ45 Megapixel PoE Day / Night Internet Camera
Pros: accurate colours, high reliability, good motion detection
Cons: requires installation of a plugin for browser view
Other Thoughts: Having previously played with other day/night IP cameras, I am impressed with accurate green colours on this camera. The greens would typically appear as washed-out purple on an IP camera with night view (infrared), but not on this one. Here, the greens are true. The configuration options are well organized and easy to understand. The motion detection function works very well and its configuration is pleasantly powerful and easy. The only thing I was not impressed about was the requirement to install a browser plugin. It looks like this plugin is only available for Windows users (I am a Linux user), but I have not tested it on a Mac and cannot tell if a Mac is supported.

A good cam!
This review is from: TRENDnet TV-IP572PI 1280 x 800 MAX Resolution RJ45 Megapixel PoE Day / Night Internet Camera
Pros: Is a good cam and have several nice features like Night vision, web interface, PoE, small, cheap.
Cons: Not linux software, I connected this cam to a Ubuntu server, but the provided software runs only on windows or Macs, the Android version works fine but have several issues (like unable to set a dynamic address, only static ips)
Other Thoughts: Even without Linux software the cam can be used with no problems using a web browser.

The committee found
Managers are faced with the unenviable, but necessary, task of weighing the various consequences of their actions in the absence of unambiguous supporting information on their effects on biological processes, local and global. They are faced with weighing the effects in terms that are relevant to people and their values and with doing this in the absence of unambiguous measures of human values. The dilemma for managers and society alike is that decisions must and will be made.
The committee found a need for better understanding of current conditions and trends related to biodiversity on the scales of typical resource-management decisions. This is a high-priority need. Applying scientific knowledge about values and biological processes generally requires relatively fine-grained information about both biological and value effects of management actions, including information on the potential cumulative effects of management and of use of resources on the basic elements of biodiversity. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of biodiversity in sustaining biological processes, major gaps still exist in our understanding. The case studies show the limits of existing knowledge of biodiversity and its implications, as well as the limits of the tools and processes for estimating values to be used in management decisions.
Managers need ways to evaluate the effects of decisions within their decision space in the broader regional or even global context of biodiversity conservation. A step in this direction is the relatively recent development of regional assessments of biological resources and the biological, economic, and social consequences in some regions of the United States (for example, the Interior Columbia River Basin and the southern Appalachians). Having this kind of information available would help resource managers of subregional areas to assess the possible cumulative effects of management and resource use, as well as biodiversity conservation, in their areas on the broader regional ecosystem.

Remember Me
Hi and welcome to a guide that I've pulled together to make your assembly of an HTPC easier - and much, much quicker. All for a total cost of under $400.
But is it worth $400? A picture is worth a thousand words - and the following is worth at least 400 - dollars that is.
What the initial menu looks like - click on the pictures to get a large scale picture.
Ok - so you're sold on the HTPC, but why follow this guide?
Because I took very careful notes and screenshots during this entire process. I did so, because I found myself very frustrated with the lack of a comprehensive guide in terms of the software involved.
One more reason for this guide - since I'm currently unemployed I thought I could pull together a guide to help you avoid that frustration.If you appreciated that guide or any of the articles that make up the overall guide, that you might show that appreciation with a small donation (click on the picture at the bottom of the page).
Here's the guide - hope it helps!
The following is intended to enhance the legal downloading of legally downloadable TV shows from newsgroups. If you're not sure what newsgroups are and care what they are, check out NzbMatrix's excellent FAQ. If you don't really care, but are looking for an alternative to unwieldy torrenting systems, then read on.
The following system has these benefits:
If that's something you're interested in, here's how - step by step.
1: It's important to first clean up your TV library up just a tad.
Use the Bulk Renamer Utility to get your shows renamed roughly like the following example.Here's a couple of tutorials on
how to use BRU - practice with a bunch of text files and folders first.
Lifehacker solution.
A more in-depth, step by step solution from us.
Sign up for any newsgroup – I signed up with newshosting because of the two week trial.
Make sure you copy down your:
username, password, the port (probably 119), number of connections, and how many days articles are retained.
This last bit of information is most easily seen on their websites front-page where they normally put something like this:
Sign up for http://nzbmatrix.com/, or any other usenet search index, and immediately do the upgrade for $11 to VIP. It's good for a year or so – and you'll need the API key that comes with VIP membership.
To find that, click on account, Generate a new API Key and copy that.
Incomplete files that are being downloaded/ unpacked are to:
Completed files are moved to:
And when categories are implemented like we are going to do, TV shows are specifically moved to:
Just in case you're reconfiguring your system - here's where you can find
Click on Config:
Then, click on Folders - note how it's written by default...
Also, make sure you grab SABnzbd's API key from the General tab:
And save the http://yourComputer'sIP:8085/sabnzbd/ url to your desktop and send it to yourself,so you can access it
from your other computers.
Configure XBMC's web gui- take note of the username, password, computer's IP, port for use in step 5.
Sickbeard will be organizing the TV shows. Extract the sickBeard files to a folder called sickBeard in your
Program Files (x86) folder. Be sure to grab sickBeard.exe and create a shortcut on our desktop.
Then run it Unblocking it from Windows Firewall.
And allowing AVG to leave the file where it is.
And then configure as follows:
Finally, click on the Home Tab and Restart (some things require a manual restart.)
Congratulations - configuration is done!!!!Now, let's get to the fun stuff....
Click on the Home tab, and add shows. Click
This is the folder where all of your TV shows are stored.
Select shows to Add...and click Continue.
For shows, that are not recognized, you can skip the show, or do a search and select one of the suggested option, and click continue.
At this point, SickBeard will show that it's loading the shows. Refresh the page occasionally if you want to see the page change.
Go have a beer and relax.
Come back in 15 minutes or so, and you can click on the URL to one of the shows that's already loaded.
If you scroll down,
you'll probably see episodes of that show marked as missing. Click on those, and with Status marked as Watch, click Go:
And it will start to download....but how will you know? You should get a pop-up in XBMC saying that your show is downloading. And then you'll get another pop-up when it's done.
Finally, you should see your XBMC library very quickly update and then compress.
Congratulations! But, before you go all out, you should focus on one folder, one legally downloaded TV show.
Couch Potato will be coming up next.... in the meantime here are some useful links:

Welcome to the justanswer chat support, let me know what model number is XXXXX hp printer having problem with.
deskjet 3070A
let me give you the solution then i will release the button lock
are you there?
please open the cover
and remove the cartridges
all of them?
or just the black one?
all of them
ok, done
Locate the vent area on the top of the cartridge.
If an orange pull tab is still attached, remove it
or If a vent is clogged, clean it carefully with a pin.
by vent, do you mean where the strip of shiny paper on the thin top of each cartridge is, with a sort of T shape above it where the paper was stripped off when I first bought the cartridges?
check the picture
Unclogged vent
ok thanks I understand. I will try with all 4 of them. Hang on.
clogged vent
Clean the cartridges
done that, doesn't seem to be blocked on any of them. The new black ink I bought only arrived today. I had previously had the same trouble with a copy black ink bought from another company, which I returned, thinking it was the ink. Now with a new HP ink, and the same problem, guess it must be the printer ( which is also quite new)
let me know how it goes
hang on, it will take me a few minutes to follow the above instructions. When I originally said I printed a test print, what I meant is I printed a random sheet from my Word documents. I will follow your instructions now, please wait a few minutes.
take your time
and let me know
On the control panel home screen there is no 'set up' or picture of a spanner. I am using Windows 7 professional. Can you tell me where else to look for the set up button please?
From the control panel home screen on the printer not on the computer
oh. On the printer there is only a little window which says copy scan quick forms.
is it Deskjet 3070A e-All-in-One Printer Series
ok, I see it now. The spanner is not on the little screen but next to it, printed on the printer itself. I never knew what it was for, and have never used it. And yes, it's a scanner and copier as well which I suppose means it is an all in one printer
Ok, made that work. It has done a test print with blocks of colour ( expensive!) but there is no black block of colour at all. Should there be?
There was no problem with the colour inks before I contacted you, just the black
Now follow these steps
Place the alignment page on the scanner glass
Please can you just answer my question - should the test print page also have a black ink square like the coloured ones? The problem is not the coloured inks! I already did an alignment page printout while I was waiting. It has printed only blue and red, nothing else.I don't kniw what to look for. Is this what an alignment page print out should look like?
it should
if not then follow the steps further
but should the test page print out have a black square on it? It only has 6 coloured squares, the 3 ink colours and 3 other coloured squares which I presuem are combination colours, but no black square
if the alignment page that i have printed has only blue and red on it like mine has, how do I know if the black is working again? I don't think it's out of alignment, it just won't print black.
it should have black
like this
Actually the test page printed out for me as 6 separate colour blocks, not stacked up like your image, but I guess the idea is the same. But no black at all. I have just tried to print a short piece of writing ( a Word doc) and it still will not print black.
that is why i gave you further steps to follow
afer head allignment if still the black is not printing then your cartridge is bad
do you have the old black cartridge
if yes shake it a bit and try to print black from the old one
yes, but I did do an alignment page, as I said, it printed just blue and red. I still don't know what an alignment page printout should look like, so I don't know if this is normal or not. I put it on the scanner and scanned it. There no message saying alignment successful. It was just like any ordinary scan.
it will look like this
I just bought new HP black ink. The old ink was virtually out of ink. The one I had from another online seller before this new one was a copy ink, but I have used this company before ( thoguh for a different printer). Does this model of HP (deskjet 3070A) allow the use of copy inks? HP inks are so outrageously expensive.
but not jaggery like this should be straight
It didn't look like that at all. It's little square dots printed across the page rather than up and down in lines, and there are only 2 colours, as i said
I'll try doing alignment again, hang on
its the same
did you try
the old cartridge
I threw it away. It has taken nearly 2 weeks to get this printer working again, as I had ti wait for the first company's black ink to arrive, then the second company's black ink to arrive, and the bin has been emptied since themn. And now i have a new genuone HP black cartridge that still won't print black. How can the printer print colour and not the black?
I have a new message come up on my printer screen. It says 'alignment failed. Cartridges are set to default quality'. What does that mean, please?
try that allignment test and if that doesnt work then you can try cleaning the head
what does the message on the printer screen mean? Shall I press OK? Could this be anything to do with the problem? I did the alignment test twice and got the same printout as I described earlier, just 2 colours. The red bit on the test alignment page is not strips or squares of colour but words - it says 'important!' There is a red arrow and a triangle warning image. weird. can you help?
any option on the printer to press on
Press ok and see what happens
if you have another black cartridge replace it
pressed ok, just reverts to the normal screen
then you can make out wether the head is clogged or the cartridge is bad
I don't have another one. As this one is new and genuine it should work. But as the previous one didn't print black either (though it was a copy ink) I suspect the problem may not be the ink
I think I am going to phone pc world where i bought the printer to see if they can help.
is the printer under one year warranty
you have all the rights to call them and get a new replacement printer
do take out the cartridges and secure the airtight
before you ship this printer back to them after you receive a new one
you know what
ok, I don't know what else to do. Your suggestions are probably good ones but they don't make it print black
what does secure the airtight mean?
if you are using a genuine cartridge then the cartridge is not bad
the printer head is clogged or may require replacement
so the printer is under warranty you can get it replaced
do you know whether this printer normally would take copy inks? My last printer ( an epson) didn't like it, but they did work after cleaning the print heads
do you want me to give you Hp's warranty support number
dont remove the print head it will void warranty
800-HP invent or(NNN) NNN-NNNN/p>

is there anything else i may assist you?

We are running and walking to raise funds to educate and advocate for sustainable organic growing practices, which not only conserve but actually renew and improve our environment. You're invited to join us.
Would you like to build the health of your soil; produce great meat; improve your family's health; and combat climate change? You can do all of this—and make a profit—by raising 100% grass-fed beef. Join us for a one-day conference with Ridge Shinn, an expert in grass-fed-and-finished beef production, who will share with us the critical lessons he has learned:
The seminar explains how environmental factors, including toxic exposures and processed and nutrient-poor foods, are causing a range of chronic and degenerative illnesses in the population. The seminar addresses details of treating and preventing conditions including autism, auto-immune disease, and Alzheimer's by healing the gut and preventing inflammation in the brain. The treatments addressed will focus on nutritional approaches to provide excellent quality nutrition using organic and whole foods. Specific attention will be given to the Specific Carbohydrate diet, developed by Elaine Gottschall and the Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet, developed by Natasha Campbell-Mcbride.

You obviously haven't fully grasped the potential of K2. Replying to what you said:
"You can only use K2. So if you decide to change systems or you already have a site built you will have to do it all over again."
This goes for Virtuemart too. If you build a catalog because it's more powerful compared to joomla's articles and then expect to rebuild the same with joomla articles on another site, you don't understand or don't know how to plan your work.
"The forum dosen't get much support." Not true. It's very vibrant especially compared to other more established components that are been around for more than a year (compared to K2's 5 month life). People have understood the benefits and now you can find any help you want in the forum.
"It also has user groups but you cant restrict the user groups to certain categories. Then what is the point of user groups?" User groups are for restricting content editing to specific categories and more. In v2.3 we plan to add an option to restrict content viewing, thus enabling its full ACL potential.
"If it integrated into the core then I would use it because it has many of the features I need." You cannot integrate such an application with the joomla core article system. You don't need to. K2 is as standalone as com_content is. It just has one menu item in the components and not a whole set of menu links in the backend and this is what confuses people that com_content is absolutely needed, but it's not.

Today's Style: The Best Witch?
When I saw the "Best Witch" ribbon in Target, I knew I needed to make an outfit based on it. I decided to use my "Only Shadows Follow Me" coat and my Sirius Black wand, and I based the style off of those three pieces. The ribbon has several bright and bold colors in it (which I hope come through in these pictures) so I wanted to go with black as the predominant color to set those off.

The editors of this beautifully edited compendium of sexually deviate conditions describe their book as "a handbook in the truest sense of that word." Indeed, this is a reference text for those clinicians, researchers, and practitioners requiring up-to-date information on the theory and psychopathology of sexually deviant conditions as well as methods of assessment and treatment of these disorders.
The editors have assembled the finest authors in the field to contribute to this collection of treatises on various forms of sexual deviance. The contributors are well-known to those who are familiar with this literature.
The editors are to be congratulated for compiling well-written, high-quality chapters that are uniform. The book also follows, as closely as possible, the DSM-IV guidelines for mental disorders as well as definitions of deviance.
The book is composed of several chapters on various forms of sexual deviance, including exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, pedophilia, sexual sadism and masochism, voyeurism, rape, and transvestic fetishism. What is significant about the book is the separation of each of those conditions into a chapter on psychopathology and theory and a separate chapter on assessment and treatment. That distinction is helpful to the researcher and clinician who requires information about a patient or a condition that is being researched.
In addition to these traditional conditions, which are well presented in dual chapters, the editors also include a chapter on paraphilias not otherwise specified, which includes a number of lesser known deviations. Most of the authors come from clinical and psychological orientations rather than medical backgrounds. Therefore, the editors have included a chapter on medical models of sexual deviance written by psychiatrists to complement the traditional psychodynamic etiologies of sexual deviance. The chapter on medical interventions in sexual deviance includes various medical models for treatment of serious conditions of sexual deviance. These treatment modalities include sexual castration and antiandrogens.
Finally, there is a chapter on sexual deviance in females. The editors point out that most sexual deviants are males and that most victims are females. In order to present a complete picture, the condition in females is also discussed and analyzed with respect to theory as well as assessment and treatment. The final chapter is on future directions and leads the reader to various forms of treatment that are being studied for future use.
I found this book to be an excellent guide for those in need of current information on sexual deviance, both for theory as well as for treatment. This is a book that puts it all together in one volume.

Grafton Ferry Reopening Delayed By Flooding

GRAFTON, IL (KMOX) - The mayor of Grafton, Illinois had big plans for Sunday, May 19.
That is when the Grafton Ferry was due to reopen after a two-year "dry-dock."
But Mayor Tom Thompson says those plans are now on hold due to Mississippi River flooding.
"I'm optimistic it will still get opened in May, that's what I'm hoping for, but we just have to wait and see how rapidly the river recedes because they do have a couple of weeks of dredging," he said.
Thompson says after the flood of 2008 there has been major sand build-up in the path the Grafton Ferry takes to get to Missouri.
"The Grafton Ferry is coming back and it sure helps our tourism here," Thompson said.

"We cannot forget that in the midst of this executive order there is a big drug company that made millions of dollars because of this mandate," she said. "The governor's former chief of staff was the chief lobbyist for this drug company. The drug company gave thousands of dollars in political donations to the governor, and this is just flat-out wrong."
"The company was Merck, and it was a $5,000 contribution that I had received from them," Perry responded. "I raise about $30 million. And if you're saying that I can be bought for $5,000, I'm offended."
"Well, I'm offended for all the little girls and the parents that didn't have a choice," Bachmann retorted.
For her part, Bachmann has raised about $146,400 from the pharmaceutical industry over her career in federal politics. This ranks the pharmaceutical and health products industry as her No. 15 career campaign contributor, according to the Center's research. None of that money has come from Merck, the maker of the Gardasil HPV vaccine. And so far during her 2012 presidential bid, Bachmann has raised $10,200 from the pharmaceutical industry, according to the Center's research.
Did you get that, Holy Rollers? Bachmann is a hypocrite.
I'll tell you what is offensive, Mrs. Bachmann: I'm offended by the notion that all of the concerned parents that you allege to represent would give a damn about any other daughter besides their own. To start off, it's a flip of a coin that your acolytes truly do know better than their children versus being controlling and suppressive parents. What I'm surer about is that as religious as they are, your acolytes do piss little for daughters who are not their own.
You and your acolytes, Mrs. Bachmann, refuse to see that juveniles and anyone who does have sex can and will have sex for the wrong reasons — some of these people will be in your congregations and parishes; most will not, they will be far from you physically and be untouched by your saccharine concern. Few of you and yours have the character and the commitment to make a lasting positive difference in their lives because you are more religious than spiritual. These acts can lead to sexual transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies — these are situations that one cannot pray away. You and yours cannot force the people who find themselves infected and pregnant to be prayerful about the misfortune they have brought upon themselves. You and your acolytes don't stop there: all of you want to address this situation as theocrats, not citizens.
It is offensive that you, Mrs. Bachmann, would penalize a young girl for not being chaste with leaving her vulnerable to a cancer that could leave her sterile if it doesn't kill her because you put personal religious convictions ahead of your oath of office. Maybe you're sore that you didn't get any of that Merck money. I'm glad I don't live in Iran where clerics actually make laws, I'm glad that I'm not subjected to the tyrannies of Taliban that want to impose Sharia law on me and this nation would rue the day that it forgets its roots, it's patrimony and chooses to elect the likes of you, a theocrat, to any constitutional office in any jurisdiction again.
Rick Perry has overseen 235 executions. Will he make it 236?
The issue at hand isn't Buck's innocence, but the means by which his death sentence was obtained. Prosecutors firmly established Buck's guilt, but to secure a capital punishment conviction in Texas they needed to prove "future dangerousness"—that is, provide compelling evidence that Buck posed a serious threat to society if he were ever to walk free. They did so in part with the testimony of a psychologist, Dr. Walter Quijano, who testified that Buck's race (he's African-American) made him more likely to commit crimes in the future. (Quijano answered in the affirmative to the question of whether "the race factor, [being] black, increases the future dangerousness for various complicated reasons.")
…because there are plenty of people who will be bothered to vote but won't be bothered to consider the gravity of their complicity in capital punishment and merely reply "the nigger killed his girlfriend" be done with the matter.
OMG, Rick Perry, you're so transparently insincere!
"CHUCK TODD: Reading your book, Governor, to me it's pretty obvious you're thinking about running for president. You have a couple of fun little winks and nods at New Hampshire in there and about the fact that it's a no-tax state. So let me ask you this. What is your timeline for making the decision about whether or not to run for — for president in 2012?
RICK PERRY (2010): I wouldn't have written that book if I was going to run for the presidency of the United States."
Governor, may I suggest you use this song as your campaign theme?
I'm sure Mr. Rollins would be flattered.

New gun laws in some states "appear to be the result of high emotion, not logic and clear thinking," columnist Cal Thomas argued. "We all ache for the parents and loved ones of the Sandy Hook victims, but the Newtown tragedy shouldn't be used as a prop for anti-gun proponents, the most extreme of whom want to register or ban all weapons except those for police and certain security people. What will more gun laws really accomplish? Will they keep one criminal bent on carnage from a single school door?"

Buying notebooks, or anything for that matter, makes me really happy but the happiness that I get out of a purchase is more often than not, pretty volatile. Rubs off almost the exact same day.
The great thing is, some of the things I own really give me an overwhelming sense of gratification a half or year or so of keeping it.
I bought this notebook last year in one of my trips to Manila and I've been using it whenever I feel like writing or when I need somewhere to keep skinny ideas that I hope I could turn into full bodied ones somewhere along the way. I take it on trips and I scribble on it when I'm in a different city or just extremely bored at home. It's also the keeper of my failed and unfinished attempts at things. But it actually amuses me to flip through it and remember the things I've tried doing in desperation. HAHA.
I think everybody should keep a notebook. Even just one for now until the rest of our lives. For something extra you could look back on in addition to the millions of photos of the food we've eaten. haha
