WASHINGTON — The Obama legacy wasn't supposed to unfold this way.
Barack Obama was changing the political map, pushing the Democratic Party into the South and the Mountain West. He was building a new social network that would endure long after an Obama presidency. And he was building a new Democratic coalition for a new age, with greater turnout from young and minority voters.

Over a year ago we correctly said the Affordable care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, would single-handedly undermine Democrat chances in the 2014 midterm elections. The pocketbook issue was raised by every Republican candidate in every contested U.S. Senate race, and it worked. Democrats were routed at the polls.

Mercedes understands Canada problems says Wolff
Mercedes already understands the issue that in Canada ended the dominant team's run of one-two victories. In Montreal, championship leader Nico Rosberg fell to second behind F1's newest winner Daniel Ricciardo, while the sister W05 of Lewis Hamilton failed to finish. Reports this week said the technical problems with both cars began almost simultaneously, when the energy recovery systems overheated. "We were trying a new cooling system for the first time. It seems the new software went crazy," team boss Toto Wolff told Bild newspaper earlier this week. On Thursday, at the German team's Brackley (UK) factory, he indicated that Mercedes engineers now understand what went wrong....

I've found a lot of similar questions, and tried out several solutions (including some of the so-called "holy grail" CSS layouts), but they don't quite do what I need.
I have a containing div (a CSS containing block) with id
right. Inside it on the left side, I want a fixed-width div (a splitter bar, but it doesn't matter what it's being used for; id
splitpane); on the right, filling the rest of the space, another div (id
right-box below).
I've tried making the two inner divs
display: inline-block (with
vertical-align: top), setting the left one to
width: 3px, but then there's no way to set the right to have width 100% - 3px. I've also tried using the
float: left/
margin-left: -100%/
margin-left: 3px trick, but it has the same problem: the 100% plus the 3px overflows the parent containing block and causes a scroll bar to pop up. (Of course, it's not the scroll bar per se that's the problem; I could use
overflow: hidden to remove it, but then content on the right would be truncated.)
Currently I'm using
width: 99.5% for the right div, but that's a terrible hack (and is subject to overflow depending on screen width). It looks a bit like this:

With CSS as follows (float version, but the inline-block version is similar):
#right {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
width: 85%; /* this is part of a larger div */
#right-box {
width: 99.5%; /* stupid hack; actually want 100% - 3px for splitter */
height: 100%;
#splitpane {
float: left;
width: 3px;
height: 100%;
background: white;
border-left: solid gray 1px;
border-right: solid gray 1px;
cursor: e-resize;
Is it even possible to do this? This is for an internal app., so solutions only need to work in Firefox 3 (if they are specific to FF3, though, preferably it's because the solution is standards-compliant but other browsers aren't, not because it's using Firefox-only code).

WA Man Pushes For Law Mandating Wrongful Jail Pay
A man who spent nearly two decades in jail for a crime that he didn't commit is pushing lawmakers in the Pacific Northwest to make automatic compensation for those in his position a part of state law.
FOX News Radio's Chris Hoenig has the story:
Audio clip:
Alan Northrop was convicted of rape in 1993, but went to jail even though DNA would later prove he was innocent.
(Northrop) "Not watching my kids grow up and being involved with their everyday things."
Kids that he now owes 17 years worth of child support for. Northrop now pushing Washington state legislators to enact a law paying those wrongfully convicted $50,000 a year for every year they spend behind bars.
(Northrop) "Deficit or not, they need to make it right…and they know it."
The House bill would add an additional $50,000 for every year on death row and $25,000 for each year on parole or as a registered sex offender.

Massa: 'Expect more sideways action this year'
Formula 1 fans can expect more rear-sliding and sideways action this year according to Williams driver Felipe Massa. With the introduction of a new V6 power unit and an ERS unit which is twice as powerful as last years KERS, combined with the ban on exhaust-blowing and harder tyres, the rear of the 2014 cars are much more unstable and the rears harder to heat as a result. Massa says this will likely lead to some scary moments, but it's up to the driver to reduce the amount rear-sliding as ultimately, whilst spectacular, it'll make you slower. "I think for sure you're going to see the cars sliding more, because you have less grip with some more torque," he is quoted as saying....

It's a very good hotel and well located.
I think it's necessary get more attendants in front desk. Every time I got there was line and we have to wait several minutes.
The location and view from the hotel is fantastic. The breakfast at the 30th floor was nice.
Charging for internet, pool closes at 7 pm. The standard was so and so, has not been updated for along period. The service was poor. No iron in room and not possible to borrow - pretty bad. Overall, not a very good impression, not worth the money.
Free upgrade! Very nice hotel Good breakfast Fantastic location/views
Having to leave!
All towels and bed sheet were dirty or at least stained No free wifi in room for such high room price Outdated hotel
localization of hotel, breakfast on floor 29
waiting time at check in and check out extremely long
Well located, close to subway, beach and major attractions. Great breakfast, staff quick to help and answer questions. Ask for front ocean view as it is outstanding.
Beds are really hard, matress are very hard and uncomfortable to sleep. Little ants in room (common in tropical countries but did not expect to see in that high end hotel).
Locación no was bad
Attention at the reception when we arrived was terrible!!! Worst! This is for economic tourism with worst attention
Perfect place to enjoy a taste of Rio. Right on the beach, great breakfasts and very helpful concierg..
Close to beach Superior room, good size and very clean. Staff were helpful.
Noise of traffic late at night and early morning. Sound insulation on patio door style windows was poor. Bed was very firm. Having to pay for use of fitness room.
Brilliant location, safe and with good facilities
hotel needs to be refurbished
Excellent location in addition to very good service and hotel accommodation. Also I enjoyed taking dinner at the Skylab restaurant under a French chef! I will definitively go back at this Hotel!
Good Elevator service Excellent wait staff for continental breakfast. Responsive room service Courteous reception staff Clean rooms Great central location.
Could have had more chairs available on the beach. Crossing the road to beach. Should have a hotel representative to assist in road crossing for safety
location right on Copacabana, deluxe rooms have an amazing seaview, breakfast is good
wifi has to be paid
Good staff and facilities overall very positive. Excellent roof terrace swimming pool and restaurant.
Hotel requires moderate refurbishment in places
Concierge the best thing about this hotel. Great font of information
Breakfast. Awful. Like feeding time at the zoo
Excellent continental breakfast every day, including hot food like scrambled eggs. Lots of fruit and fruit juices. Excellent concierge who directed us effectively and answered all our questions with patience.
The hotel is showing signs of its age, but is still very good.
every thing
Good rooms Good breakfast Good location Good views Gentle people
Perhaps, more city tour visits alternatives I was not well adviced about the opening hours and I lost some time on it.
Staff was helpfull to change room on complaint.
Apart from the location, this hotel is a nightmare for businessman. The accommodation is worn out, windows in the rooms don't close so it is like you sleep on the street. Long waiting queues for check in and out. Furthermore you have to pay for anything: internet on room, bottle of water, etc... Maybe appropriated for mass tourist who then pay maybe 1/3 of what I paid.
Excelent location
Proximity to beach and restaurants
Good views of Copacabana beach front. Easy walking to ipanema and restaurants. Comfortable rooms and clean. Stay in higher floors for less noise from traffic.
Top floor pool area quite tired looking and in need of a makeover. As with most of these 70's hotels along the front they need some refurbishment. Wifi very mean as only freely available in lobby. Get to the beach early if you want hotel free sun beds and parasols as numbers limited.
Dirty and old bath towels! It is not a 5stars hotel. Restaurant quality ver poor.
Staff were very helpfull
No free wifi in room No free water for drinking No boiling pot

London adventurers Humphreys and Kevill-Davies checked "K" off their alphabet list in this video, trying out Korean food at local establishment Jee Cee Neh. And while it seems they were the only non-Koreans in the restaurant (always a good sign of authenticity), the eaters tried their hand at Korean barbecue, cooking up ox tongue for their first time to rave reviews.
Dinner included a variety of small plates, noodles, and butter lettuce-wrapped barbecue, a meal described somewhat as "soul food." Watch the video, then check out their recipe for Korean staple kimchi, a fermented cabbage dish.

I don't see your logic - if someone bothered to create 4.0 and 4.1, why wouldn't they create 4.2? It doesn't have any system requirements that are above and beyond 4.1. Some old phones still have a great developer community behind them. Since you're already running CM10 nightlies, just wait for CM10.1
I have 4.1.2 on it now. But will any one develop for this almost 2 year old phone.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 19:58
Yes there is...Link It was released on 11/13, the same exact day CM10 stable was available for my Galaxy Nexus.
There is no *stable* version of CM10 For the Galaxy S I500. There still on nightly builds. I just checked and theres a new JB nightly i have to install when i get home.

In recent years, we've begun our Thanksgiving dinner with a warm comforting bowl of butternut squash soup. I always like the idea of squash or pumpkin soup, but I don't really like most of the soups themselves. Generally they're too sweet and heavy for my taste. I've kept at it, though, and I've come up with a recipe that I really love. If you're fond of squash concoctions that might contain, say, pureed apple and are thick enough to spread on toast, this might not be for you. But if you prefer lighter, more savory soups, I think you're going to like this one. The Vadouvan spice blend (see my post here for a recipe) is optional, but it adds a warm, exotic dimension to the flavor. If you don't have Vadouvan, the soup will still be delicious: I'll tell you how to amplify other flavors in the recipe to take its place, or you can add a teaspoon or two of your favorite curry powder.
For six first course servings. Quantities pictured are double this.
1 1/2 pounds winter squash (finished weight), peeled, seeded and cut into about 1 inch cubes. (Butternut squash is always good, but so are other winter squashes. Pictured are Sweet Dumpling and Golden Acorn squash — they were delicious in the soup.)
2 large shallots, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 15oz can of diced tomatoes
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/4 cup Vadouvan spice blend, or 1 to 2 teaspoons of your favorite curry powder (according to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups water (or more)
salt and pepper
If not using Vadouvan, increase the shallots to 4, add 3 large thyme sprigs and 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg.
1. Peel, seed and cube the squash into about 1-inch pieces. (They can be very irregular — the soup is pureed.) You should end up with about 3 1/2 cups. Peeling squash with a vegetable peeler is a time-consuming chore. Instead, I quarter the squash lengthwise and then use a sharp knife to cut away the skin, preserving as much flesh as I can (the squash's that is, not mine), but I don't worry about getting every little bit.
2. Cook the shallots, celery, tomatoes, bay leaf (and, if using, thyme) in the oil in a heavy pot over low heat until softened, about 8 minutes.
3. Add squash, water, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and Vadouvan. (If not using Vadouvan, add the nutmeg in addition to these ingredients.)
4. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Then, reduce head to medium low and simmer until the squash is very tender, about 25 minutes.
5. Remove bay (and thyme, if using) and puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender (which I strongly recommend for this type of thing), puree the soup in batches in a regular blender. When pureeing hot liquids in a blender, take great care not to burn yourself: never fill the container more than half way, don't seal it closed (either remove the plug in the lid or leave the lid slightly ajar), cover the top with a kitchen towel and turn away to protect your eyes and face. Return the soup to the pot, thin with water, if desired, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve as is, or garnish with sour cream or yoghurt and chopped chives. This soup keeps for several days in the refrigerator and freezes very well.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Spiritual journey: The A303's enduring appeal
The A303 is a road like no other, a route that has become part of the English way of life. In this extract from his new book Highway to the Sun, Tom Fort highlights its appeal.
Friday 11 May 2012
The A303 extends from just west of Basingstoke to a few miles east of Honiton in Devon. The distance is little more than 90 miles, which makes it a baby among major arterial routes. (The A1 is 400 miles, the A38 290.) But the A303 straddles spheres.
It can take the adventurer from cosy, commuter-belt Hampshire to the threshold of another land entirely, one of wooded dales enclosing tumbling streams, steep hillsides and old stone farmhouses, purple treeless moors, eventually rocky headlands and sandy beaches and the surging sea. It is a road of magical properties.
From the late 1950s, for 10 or 12 years, Linda followed it each year with her father, mother and younger brother from their home in Buckinghamshire. Their first car was a Hillman Minx, their destination a caravan site near Weymouth. As their circumstances improved, they migrated further west for the annual holiday, to Devon and later Cornwall, and it grew from one week to two.
Linda's father, a clerk with the Gas Board, would really have preferred to have spent his leave entitlement at home tending the garden that he loved with a deep, quiet passion. But Linda's mother insisted that they must go away, and as he loved to drive, he drove. He wrote down the route on an envelope: across to Basingstoke, A303 to Honiton, A30 further west – the destination always a caravan site.
Linda's mother did not drive and could not read a map, so Linda sat next to her father, passing on the instructions when it got complicated. The end of the road varied, but there was one constant. Linda would ask if they were going past Stonehenge. When, inevitably, they did, they would stop and climb on the stones and wander among them and wonder at them. Each year, the monument which had delivered different messages to so many over thousands of years told them that they were on their way.
Linda's father liked the A303 because it was faster than the narrow, winding A30. The A303 gave the journey a firm, propulsive shove. He liked it even more when they widened stretches of it into dual carriageway. Stuck behind a crawling lorry or – worse still – a tractor dragging a stack of hay, he would become silent and tense. Then a section of dual carriageway would beckon and the mood in the car – later a Triumph Herald, later still a lime-green Ford Capri – would lighten as the accelerator pedal went down.
Simon and his family went every year to Devon or Cornwall, always staying on a farm, always taking the A303, always stopping at Stonehenge for their picnic.
Simon's father was an Austin man: the family progressed from Austin 7 to Austin 55 to Austin 60. He had all the maps covering the South-west and had – or felt he had – no need of a map-reader. "Dad was in charge of getting us lost," Simon remembers. When Simon, as a young man, took his girlfriend to Yorkshire for a holiday, he felt they were going the wrong way. It was unnatural not to be on the A303. The road was in his blood.
There are plenty who still follow the same path. I went to find a random sample of them on a Friday in the 2011 summer holiday season. It was grey and drizzly, the forecast dodgy. The traffic was heavy but not exceptionally so, just the usual solid stream. The car parks at the service areas were full.
Humour was good despite the weather and the traffic. A family from Hatfield in Hertfordshire – father, mother, two kids, two grandparents – were heading for Exmouth, their seven-seater packed to the roof. "Always take the A303," Dad said, "less boring than the motorway, and you've always got Stonehenge."
Derek from Newmarket was taking a cup of tea from a Thermos in the shelter of his boot-lid as the drizzle drifted down, his team – wife, daughter, two grandsons – tightly packed into a blue saloon bound for Bridport. Derek had seen a BBC Four programme I'd made about the A303. "Here, meet the wife," he said proudly. She, he confided to me, would rather be heading east to see the sun – Yarmouth or somewhere like that – but he made the decisions and one of them was the A303.
An elderly couple in the queue for a cup of tea were doing as they had done most years since 1957, when as honeymooners they set off for Devon in their Austin 7. Now they had their 10-year-old grandson with them.
They had had their foreign holidays since then and there was nothing wrong with them, but there was something about the South-west, something special, and this was the way to find it.
An old rocker with a ponytail told me that it had begun for him in the mid-1960s folded into the back of the family Mini, and he'd finally settled in Cornwall and not come back. "It was part of my childhood, the A303," he said, speaking slowly and nodding in that old rocker's way. "So part of me."
There were more of the same, taking the road not because they had deep feelings about it or had ever thought much about it, but because it was part of a familiar and comforting act of escape. Everyone knows the motorway is quicker from anywhere in the East and South-east of England: M25 around London, M4 to Bristol, M5 to Exeter. But the A303 belongs in the ritual and the motorway doesn't.
Everyone moaned about the traffic, but in a good-humoured way, almost affectionately. It was part of the A303; what else could you expect on a Friday afternoon in the holiday season? Don't fret, mate, we'll all get there in the end.
Coming back is something else. Same road, but not the same at all. For a child, there is an almost physical ache as the special place is left behind, and even as adults we feel the sadness. The road is complicit in the loss. The landmarks in their reverse order remind us of what we are leaving behind.
We twist our heads for a last glimpse of the cottage or caravan or campsite, catch a last gleam from the lake or the sea. Ahead is home, work, school, routine, daily shaving, uncut lawn, unpicked veg, duties, appointments. It is the road that is returning us to this enslavement and we resent it.
"You can let yourself go on the 303," pounded forth Kula Shaker. "You can find your way home on the 303." The song celebrated in enigmatic lyrics the way to "the land of the summer sun" – presumably Glastonbury, where the band was born at the 1993 festival. Each June the Glastonbury faithful still follow the road in pursuit of some kind of escape or release, a few days of another kind of life.
For the generation before them, the lure was Stonehenge and its Free Festival – music, drugs, free love, hugs and acid smiles and signs of peace, a repudiation of the cheerless world of career and mortgage beyond, and the grim, dangerous world beyond that. Down the A303 the Love Convoy rolled, until Mrs Thatcher and her ministers and the Daily Mail decided that society had had quite enough of that sort of useless parasitism, thank you, and put a stop to it.
There was no psychedelic rock for me at the end of the road, and certainly no free love, just flowing water and the sweet, fulfilling joy of casting a fly for a fish.
Since 1945, the car – a vehicle built of steel, powered by petrol, owned by us – has become a dominant influence on the way we live. It has enabled almost all of us to embrace a frantic fluidity of movement that has progressively determined how, mechanically, society should function. Other forms of transport – horse, bike, train, bus – have been unable to stand against it. It made possible the immediate gratification of every fleeting desire to be somewhere else. It put within everyone's grasp a vision of mobility that abolished constraint and reduced the world into a mesh of manageable journeys. We were all seduced by its central principle: go where you like, when you like, as you like.
Its flaw is that it is fabulously wasteful. It consumes resources of energy, space and time as if they were inexhaustible.
They are not. Little by little the vision's sources of nourishment are beginning to run out. The price of fuel has risen to a point where only the rich and the stupid no longer pause to consider if a journey is worth it. At the same time, insurance premiums have been driven up to levels way beyond the means of many recently qualified drivers. The roads remain clogged; journey times rise inexorably.
A new model of mobility is needed. Already in the cities some people are giving up their cars in favour of a rental service available via a phone app that enables them to pick up a vehicle when they need it and drop it off when they have finished with it, paying an hourly rate for the use. Far from finding their freedom of movement restricted, they discover that they have rid themselves of a bundle of irritations (breakdowns, punctures, where to park, getting fuel, remembering tax and MOT), not to mention the expense.
The age of the motor car has been with us for little more than half a century, and there is no reason to believe that it will last for ever, any more than did the age of the train or the stagecoach. True, for much of the world it has only just begun and still has its course to run. But in traffic-strangled Western Europe its days are probably numbered.
When the new age comes, its people will look back at our system and consider it startlingly wasteful, destructive and crude.
It's a fair bet that they will not be hopping into their plastic, hydrogen-powered micro-cars on a whim and nipping 80-odd miles down the A303 for an evening's fishing and 80 miles back again. But there will still – unless we mess everything up – be fishing. And there will be an A303. It will still be assisting tomorrow's travellers to accommodate the chronic restlessness of the species. It will still enable them to pursue their dreams and to live and relive remembered joys in one way or another.

Title: Question about Salvia coccinea photos in the Native Plant Database
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Joe Marcus
QUESTION:A search for Salvia coccinea in the database resulted in some of the pictures showing frostweed crystals ('am assuming that is an error), as well as some white and bicolor pastel pink & white blooms. Can S. coccinea have that much variation in color?
ANSWER:All of the photos you mention from our Native Plant Database are indeed Salvia coccinea (blood sage). One of our experts, Joe Marcus, took the photos showing the ice crystals that do look like the ice crystals that form from the sap of Verbesina virginica (frostweed). Here is what he says about them:
"I remember taking the picture and being very surprised at what I was seeing - and photographing. I think it did the frostweed-y thing because the tops of the plants had recently been sheared and the stems were still alive and full of water. In other words, the conditions under which the Salvia would produce the ice ribbons were very specific and very unusual. I wanted to capture the evidence that it could happen - in rare circumstances - and that is what I did."
Also, although the majority of plants of the species have red blossoms, there are different color varieties of S. coccinea. The pink and white flowered one is a cultivar, but we're not sure which one. The most common cultivar with flowers this color is one called 'Coral Nymph' (sometimes marketed as 'Cherry Blossom'), but there may also be other pink and white cultivars.

1/1 Photo of Ginger Cashew Sauce

A friend, who is allergic to garlic, liked to get a certain brand of ginger peanut sauce, because it was good, and because she could eat it without fear of dying; always a bonus. It could be hard to get, though, so I came up with a home-made version. I make this with either cashew butter or peanut butter; both are very good although I find the cashew version more digestible. Serve it over steamed veggies and rice, or baked fish or chicken.

My new blouse with a Peter Pan collar, from La Mia Boutique (it's from the november issue of this Italian magazine). It's made of silk for the body and fine wool for the collar.
It's a very nice pattern.
