Wake up dummies – you ARE better off than you were 6 years ago – Obama decrees it!
Apparently we "underestimated" ebola and ISIS, but when it comes to the economy and our well being, our man in the White House did us proud, but we're just not apt enough to realize that. From Obama's "60 Minutes" interview:
Steve Kroft: You've got midterm elections coming up. Are you going to get shellacked?
President Obama: Well…
Steve Kroft: Or do you think that, I mean, are you optimistic? What are the issues and what are you going to tell the American people?
President Obama: Here's what I'm going to tell the American people. When I came into office, our economy was in crisis. We had unemployment up at 10 percent. It's now down to 6.1. We've had the longest run of uninterrupted private sector job growth in our history. We have seen deficits cut by more than half. Corporate balance sheets are probably the best they've been in the last several decades. We are producing more energy than we had before. We are producing more clean energy than we ever had before. I can put my record against any leader around the world in terms of digging ourselves out of a terrible, almost unprecedented financial crisis. Ronald Reagan used to ask the question, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" In this case, are you better off than you were in six? And the answer is, the country is definitely better off than we were when I came into office, but now we have to make…
Steve Kroft: Do you think people will feel that?
President Obama: They don't feel it. And the reason they don't feel it is because incomes and wages are not going up. There are solutions to that. If we raise the minimum wage, if we make sure women are getting paid the same as men for doing the same work, if we are rebuilding our infrastructure, if we're doing more to invest in job training so people are able to get the jobs that are out there right now, because manufacturing is coming back to this country. Not just the auto industry that we've saved, but you're starting to see reinvestment here in the United States. Businesses around the world are saying for the first time in a long time, "The place to invest isn't in China. It's the United States."
So there you go. When you ask the salient question (are you better off now than you were 6 years ago), you dumbasses always give the wrong answer. You ARE better off because our King says so. Screw the fact that "income and wages" are not going up, or the labor participation rates is at historic lows or real unemployment is considerably higher than the manipulated number! You're better off, dammit! And government can fix the wage problem – you know, just raise the minimum wage for heaven sake.
Given that level of cluelessness, are you at all surprised this administration underestimated ISIS and ebola?
This week's car review
The government's right to paw through your stuff
Let me start out with the conclusion – the government does not have a right to have easy access to your possessions on the premise that at some point in the future you might turn out to be a criminal.
There's a lot of hoopla going on about child molesting pedophiliac serial murdering terorists(non islamic of course) who are just waiting for the release of the newer Apple IPhones so they can encrypt and hide the evidence of their crimes. This reckless disregard for government's need to easily poke through your posessions, i.e. read the stuff on your IPhone, will allow these yet to be criminals to get off scott free because the government will be unable to easily decrypt the data.
Well, that at least seems to be the argument I keep hearing. I probably could have thrown in some other things these criminals are going to encrypt, but pedophiles and terrorists seem to be the hot button crimes the government thinks are the be all end all arguments for why they should be able to get at the data without a great deal of hassel on their part.
As a counter weight to that set of players, let's imagine a journalist, with secret "Deep-Throat" level informers inside government who has data encrypted on his phone that pertains to government malfeasence with names, and dates, including the name or names of the informers (and copies of 8×10 color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a parapgraph on the back explaining what each one is to be used as evidence against them). And for crazy but obvious reasons the reporter really doesn't want to share that with the government and he encrypts it on his IPhone.
Let's presume for a moment a corrupt Department of Justice or other government agency. Crazy talk, right? Gee, that could never happen (cough cough…. DOJ FIFA foot dragging, contempt of Congress Fast and Furious, IRS investigations, lost emails, crashing hard drives, NSA reading everything written by everybody that traverses the internet) Let's presume that the encrypted data that would bring down the government perps in these corrupt agencies is on the reporter's IPhone, and the corrupt agency creates reason to confiscate said phone, and would like to know what's on it, again, for crazy but obvious reasons. Suppose the criminals ARE the government. Nah, that could never happen.
So, do you believe you're obligated to make your possessions easy for the government to search? Do you believe your house should be an open book to government warrant, because, hey, you might be a criminal in the future. People don't think of their data as a posession, but just because the old way of storing data was 'papers' doesn't mean that 'bits' aren't really the same thing. All we did was change how it's stored. Should you be obligated to tell the government about any and every secret hiding place you have on your property when they show up looking for those Cuban cigars you knew were illegal to bring back from your Carribean cruise? Should you be obligated to make it EASY for them?
It has been correctly pointed out that this action by Apple is in direct response to the NSA snooping, and we joke about it, but be honest, we all pretty much think they're looking at EVERYTHING, don't we? And despite their protestations of innocence, we think they're doing it here, and abroad, for practically everyone, on any electronic transmission they can get access to. It all has to go through routers somewhere, sometime, it's all being recorded and relayed at some point. All of it. This ain't magic ya know. And now they're outraged! outraged! that people might be trying to make it hard on them to peek and poke and prod.
And I'm supposed to believe being able to crack the data on an IPhone is going to stop, oh, another Boston Marathon bombing? When they lost track of a guy because they didn't spell his name right? How are they going to get his phone to decrypt his data?
Nah, sorry, there's a whole lot of government house cleaning that needs to go on at the IRS, the DOJ, and the many flavors of DHS before I get excercised about them not being able to easily decrypt data on an IPhone. I'm more afraid of the listed agencies than I am of Achmed and Mohammed or the guy who dresses up as Barney and keeps encrypted pictures of nude kids on his phone. I'm against all of those things okay? And my way of dealing with such people would probably be much more at home on the frontier west of the 1800's than 21st century America.
But we have people flowing across our southern border from who knows where, thinking who knows what, carrying who knows what diseases or posessions and agencies getting bent out of shape over not being able to decrypt future criminal eveidence are doing exactly jack-all to stop THAT even though they know it's occurring RIGHT NOW. Keep Achmed and Mohammed out of the country, and we won't have to worry what they've encrypted on their IPhones. And we caught pedo's before they had IPhones to encrypt data on.
Federal law enforcment can spare me their attempts at moral outrage because from what I see they're not outraged much by the abuses they can do something about directly right now that have nothing to do with easily decrypting future data on a future criminal's phone. And I am flat not convinced that the 4th Amendment was written to make it easier for the government to poke through my stuff.

Economic Statistics for 26 Sep 14
The final revision to 2nd Quarter GDP was increased to a 4.6% annualized growth rate. The GDP Price Index was unchanged at 2.1%.
After-tax profits for the 2nd Quarter were revised upwards slightly to 4.6%.
The Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for September was unchanged at 84.6.
Tales from the Nanny State
The first comes from our "hoist on their own petard" department:
A study from three sociologists based out of North Carolina State University charges that First Lady Michelle Obama's campaign topromote healthy eating and decrease childhood obesity rates is classist and sexist in its implementation. This is because the model Obama advocates tends to put the onus of preparing healthy meals specifically on women, and also expects a level of disposable income, transportation options, and free time, which low-income families may lack.
The researchers interviewed 150 mothers and spent 250 hours observing 12 working-class and poor families as they shopped for food, cooked, and ate. They note:
In the fight to combat rising obesity rates, modern-day food gurus advocate a return to the kitchen. […] First lady Michelle Obama has also been influential in popularizing public health messages that emphasize the role that mothers play when it comes to helping children make healthy choices. The message that good parents — and in particular, good mothers — cook for their families dovetails with increasingly intensive and unrealistic standards of "good" mothering. [Sage Journals]
The study concludes that, "this emerging standard is a tasty illusion, one that is moralistic, and rather elitist, instead of a realistic vision of cooking today."
Yes that's right, the Interferer in Chief's campaign has been declared classist and sexist. Of course if this were a right winger we were talking about all the lefty blogs would be blaring this in the headlines with a healthy dose of "I told you so" and "they just can't seem to help it, can they" thrown in.
Irony. You have to love it. Its things like this that make my day go somewhat easier.
The second comes to us from Seattle, WA and is an example of what happens when people lose control of their government and that government decides to micro-manage every aspect of their lives with the intent of making sure they live it the way their betters decide they should live it:
The City of Seattle just passed a new trash ordinance that would fine residents and businesses for throwing away too much food.
The new rules would allow garbage collectors to inspect trash cans and ticket offending parties if food and compostable material makes up 10 percent or more of the trash.
The fines will begin at $1 for residents and $50 for businesses and apartment buildings, according to the Seattle Times.
So who will be the biggest offenders? Well, most likely schools which use the Michelle Obama program – okay, I had to tie them together somehow. No word, however, on how restaurants will fare under the law.
But think of it in a larger sense. You buy the food. It's yours, your property. You can prepare it however you like (within reason) and eat it if you care too or … not. What you throw away or decide not to keep is entirely up to you — it's YOUR property. It is none of anyone's business.
On the other hand, you pay a fee or taxes to have your trash hauled away. That's their job. Nothing more. Haul your trash away. In steps government and arbitrarily decides that you're throwing too much food away (goodness knows where that perception comes from) and the "there ought to be a law" folks step up. They give those who pick up your trash the power to ticket you if they find you've thrown away too much food. Yeah, that's right – the garbage police!
Most of the time these yahoos can't even pick up the trash on time, and, of course they're all math majors, so figuring out what percentage of your weekly trash pick up is over 10% should be a snap. They have plenty of time, right? I mean, good lord.
And if, in fact, people take this seriously, what do you suppose might happen? They'll dump elsewhere. If they're smart they'll find dumpsters outside the Seattle city hall and dump their food excess there. Then the city can fine itself.
But it is another example of an unworkable law which will be arbitrarily imposed (if at all) and will see people attempting to circumvent it by means that I would guess will be less than sanitary and good for the city's overall health.
Economic Statistics for 25 Sep 14
Durable goods orders fell a sharp -18.2% in August, but ex-transportation orders rose a healthy 0.7%. On a year-over-year basis, new orders rose 8.9% overall, while ex-transportation orders rose 7.3%.
The Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Index rose 3 points to 6 in September.
The PMI Services Flash for September was unchanged at 58.5.
Initial weekly jobless claims rose 12,000 to 293,000. The 4-week average fell 1,000 to 298,500. Continuing claims rose 7,000 to 2.439 million.

The Fed reports that M2 money supply rose by $7.4 billion in the latest week.
Eric Holder was to "justice" what Barack Obama is to "leader" (update)
Good riddance to the worst Attorney General in living history. In fact, I came to consider his department the "Department of Just Us" in which "justice" was a political tool to be wielded selectively and only when it helped those constituencies that comprised the "us". And, of course, that included selective enforcement of the laws. Or said another way "rule of man" vs. "rule of law".
The scandals such as Fast and Furious, were simply something to be expected from such a department. How could it be otherwise? They weren't of the law, they considered themselves above the law. I have nothing nice to say about Eric Holder except I'm glad this day has finally come.
The Justice Department has been horribly harmed by that man's tenure at the helm. Like America's reputation in the world under Barack Obama, DOJ has a long climb back to respectability.
Meanwhile the "us" faction has immediately gone into action:
The Rev. Al Sharpton said his civil rights organization, the National Action Network, is "engaged in immediate conversations" with the White House as they work to name a successor to Attorney General Eric Holder, who is set to announce his resignation Thursday afternoon.
"We are engaged in immediate conversations with the White House on deliberations over a successor whom we hope will continue in the general direction of Attorney General Holder," Sharpton said in a statement.
Economic Statistics for 24 Sep 14

Offering a skin-tight fit that won't chafe during the most outrageous aquatic adventures, this Long-Sleeved Rashguard from Sporti provides the all-day comfort and superior UV protection you've been looking for.
The size description is a bit of confusion. Take large instead of medimu for safe. It turned out right. Otherwise it will be really tight.
true to size and good quality. It is better for me ( a female ) to buy mens swimwear to obtain a better fit for a large breasted female.
The first women's rash guard in my size just was too sung. The Customer Service rep. researched the size chart and suggested trying a men's size. In this product the men's large fit me perfectly
Little difficult to get on as it fits skin-tight. Makes moving around in the water seem smoother. Helps to keep warm.
True to size, comparable or better quality then some other brand name rash guards. i opted for the 6.5oz because my 1mil, 1.5mil and 2mil are too hot for hawaii. great snug fit, havent had any problems yet, worn it every day the last two weeks. thanks! pps watch out hawaiians, no free shipping to hawaii, but works out in the wash when buying 2 or more. quick 3 day $12.99 shipping isn't bad...
Working out at noon most days I'm using it for sun protection to avoid further skin damage. It fills that bill nicely, but It also fits nice and tight, but allows for good range of motion on all strokes. For the price, it is an excellent value.
Definitely blocks the sun's rays which is the primary reason for the purchase. I bought it for my boyfriend so we could swim on vacation. He has many areas of "new skin" due to road rash from a motorcycle accident. This product worked very well.
. I thought I might need small, but no. Medium is an excellent, tight fit for me. I ordered black/grey shirt. I might go for a white one next.
Fits well and protects my arms well.

This man says he could end Israel-Palestine fighting tomorrowon August 1, 2014 @ 7:38 am (Updated: 8:19 am - 8/1/14 )
This man says he could end the war tomorrow.
In recent years, every fights between Israel and the Palestinians peters out in a cloud of confusion, with both sides claiming victory.
The deputy speaker of the Israeli Knesset says this fight should end differently.
"You don't run after tunnel. You don't go into the homes. You hit leadership hard."
This is Deputy Speaker Moshe Feglin, elected just last year. He told his audience the two-state solution everybody talks about won't work, because the Palestinians of Gaza are not innocent victims. They voted for Hamas.
"Hamas was elected by most of the population. Hamas is getting its power from that population."
He says Israeli soldiers should not be risking their lives to save civilians. They should attack in the way that the Torah commands.
"As Torah tells us, we should leave one of the corners open for them to run away and those who don't do it, it's their problem."
And then, the army should take complete possession of Gaza.
"We should destroy Hamas and take over the whole city and we should do it according to Jewish moral. The question is: What are we going to do afterwards?"
And here's what he would do: he would pay to relocate any Gaza resident who wants to leave. He figures about 80 percent would take the deal.
For those who do want to stay and are willing to live under Israeli rule, they would get a chance to become legal residents.
But for those who will neither leave nor accept Israeli sovereignty?
"Those who fought you in the past or don't accept your sovereignty today should be destroyed or sent away," he says.
Any questions?

Relieve organization sees significant increase of recipients
Hope Center meets the need for the needy
OILDALE, Calif. - The Hope Center in Oildale has seen a significant increase over the last year in the number of people they support with food and clothing.
Last year they served more than 62,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year.
The faith-based organization has become a lighthouse of hope for unemployed and low-income families.
Despite the increase, thanks to generous donations from the community and a faithful volunteer base, the center continues to lend a hand to those who are down and out.
"When we think of that increase, we are really amazed how God has fulfilled the mission here. How we are able to take care of so many people and provide for them," said Loron Hodge of the Hope Center Director.
The business of helping others is booming, but not for financial gain. The volunteers at the Hope Center said their rewards are eternal.
"It's fulfilling. I feel like I can serve the Lord and use my gifts at the same time," said Jeri Kloepper of the Hope Center.
"It's good because I know that I am helping somebody in need. The center helped me when I was in need and now I am giving back my time," said Shelly Stansbury, volunteer.
On Wednesdays the Hope Center is one of many distribution sites for the Community Action Partnership Food Bank.
"As those sites see the increase, the demand on us increases as well," said Ian Anderson of the Community Action Partnership Food Bank.
With federal funding decreasing over the years, the food bank has relied on the community to help keep their shelves filled so they can provide food to sites like the Hope Center.
"We have had many private companies do their own food drives where we get a couple hundred to several thousand pounds. All of that comes in to help us fill the gap. We are always looking for schools or businesses to do food drives for us," said Anderson.
The Hope Center's greatest need now is not food related. They continually rely on the community for clothing donations.
"We need good, sturdy, clean, usable clothing and shoes. People can donate men's, women's and children's clothes in all sizes," said Kloepper.
The Hope Center is located at 3311 Manor Street. 661-399-2119.

Restaurants up the ante on fare for their youngest patrons
BY KARA SPAK Kid email@example.com May 2, 2013 4:04PM
Sushi Samba Rio offers one of the more interesting children's menus in Chicago. | Provided photo

Updated: June 4, 2013 6:16AM
It's the Holy Grail of eating out as a family — a kids' menu with something other than chicken fingers, hamburgers, french fries — a kids' menu with food that kids want to eat and adults want them to eat.
A local movement has been building slowly, though, to add interesting and healthy items for restaurants' youngest customers.
"The worst food on the menu was always on the kids' menu," said Diane Schmidt, a Chicago mom with a public health background who suffered through a decade of bad kids' meals with her daughter. "I got this idea to try to change it."
Schmidt teamed up with nutritionist Carol Wagner and chef Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook to start the Healthy Fare for Kids program in December 2011. They asked local restaurants to add and identify at least one nutritionally sound item on their kids' menus. Since then, more than 50 restaurants have signed on.
For two-time James Beard Award-winner Stegner, offering something more than a pint-sized portion of fried chicken at her restaurant, known for its seasonal fare, was a no-brainer
"When we opened the restaurant I wanted something that kids really liked that matched the rest of the food," Stegner said. "It needed to go with the restaurant."
While a recent survey from the Center for Science in the Public Interest concluded that 97 percent of chain restaurant kids' meals failed to meet basic nutrition standards, chef-driven restaurants have been open to the Healthy Fare message, said Stegner, a two-time James Beard Award winner.
"If you don't ever put the vegetable in front of [kids] they are never going to eat it," she said. "It's as simple as that."
Parents aren't only looking for healthy food, they want something fun and interesting. Terry Park, manager of TTOWA Korean restaurant in Arlington Heights, started a children's menu two months ago after customers repeatedly requested it.
"Usually fried rice is just bean sprouts and rice," he said. "We use shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, lots of chives, just trying to make it a little bit healthier."
There's more to kids' menus than chicken nuggets! Here are 10 restaurants who offer something different for kids:
John's Place
Two Chicago locations, (773) 244-6430;
Grilled cheese comes on multigrain bread, as does the child-sized roast turkey and cheddar sandwich at this family-friendly staple.

Four Chicago locations, (312) 337-2454;
The kid-sized pasta with veggies (above), part of Healthy Fare for Kids, is a hot seller at this Chicago diner group, said Spyridon Alexopoulos, manager, though kids still delight in the chocolate chip pancakes for a special treat.
Prairie Grass Cafe
601 Skokie Blvd., Northbrook, (847) 205-4433;
If you offer whitefish, kids will eat it, said chef Sarah Stegner. "I didn't expect it to sell but it sells very well," she said.
Shedd Aquarium
1200 S. Lake Shore Drive, (312) 939-2438;
The Shedd Aquarium is the city's first cultural institution to team up with Healthy Fare for Kids. Menu choices now include grilled chicken sliders and sustainable seafood.

3 Chicago-area locations, (312) 654-2550; www.marcellos.com
Kids on a gluten-free diet can order the 8-inch pan pizza or 12-inch thin crust pizza off of Marcello's gluten-free menu.
Ceres' Table

Fort Campbell, KY (AP) -- A Fort Campbell soldier from East Tennessee has been sentenced to ten years in prison in the deaths of three Iraqi detainees.
A military hearing panel at Fort Campbell sentenced Staff Sergeant Ray Girouard of Sweetwater late Monday afternoon.
He had been convicted Friday of negligent homicide in the deaths.
Earlier in the day, the 24-year-old soldier said he knows he made a mistake in lying about the killings.
Girouard said during the sentencing phase of his trial that there's a fine line between loyalty and truth.
Girouard was found guilty of three counts of negligent homicide. He was found not guilty of premeditated murder. He avoided life in prison, but still faced up to 21 years.
Girouard was accused of telling his soldiers to release detainees they captured during the May 9th raid near Samarra, Iraq, and then shoot them as they fled.

Where can I find the date code?
Summit has an "Enjoy By" date to be found on one of the long sides of each case and 12-pack. It should be at the top upper, right-hand corner on one of the sides. It is only on one side so it may be necessary to turn a package to see it. There is no date on individual 6-packs, but each Summit bottle has an "Enjoy By" date video-coded on the neck of the bottle just above the shoulder.
The packaging date is also laser printed in the upper left corner of the label. There are 8 characters. The first 4 are the packaging date expressed as a Julian date - the first character is the year and the next three are the numerical day of the year. The final four characters are simply the time that bottle was filled.
Can I order Summit ales and lagers directly from you?
Unfortunately, we are not permitted to sell or ship beer directly to consumers. Please use our Where to Find page to find a distributor in your area, who should be able to direct you to local retailers. Our out of state sales reps' emails are also listed to assist you with finding our beers.
What's the difference between an ale and a lager?
The difference between ales and lagers has nothing to do with strength, color, or bitterness. It's the yeast and the fermentation temperature. Ale yeasts ferment best at warmer temperatures — up to about 75° F. Because a yeasty foam rises to the surface of the beer, these are known as "top-fermenting" yeasts.
Lager yeasts, on the other hand, prefer cooler temperatures. They are called "bottom-fermenting" yeasts because they sink to the bottom of the beer during the cold storage period traditional for lager beers. This process removes haze and gives lagers their characteristic clean, rounded tastes.

(Foreign language film with English subtitles)
In the lead up to World War II, as Nazi Germany sought to annex Austria through political allegiance and extend its grip across Europe, a secret is uncovered by the SS that could change the course of the war.
Hoping to secure the historical artifact at the centre of the controversy, the SS imprison the family involved and confiscate their possessions. However, when one of the victims is taken to Berlin for interrogation, a twist of fate throws him and his jailor into a battle between a renegade band of resistance militia and the enemy. In an act to save his family, the prisoner now must make the desperate choice between acting in vengeance or laying his life on the line to defend his family and fight for his people.
Set in one of the most powerful World War II struggles, My Best Enemy weaves a thrilling tale of the heroism of a few who sacrifice everything in the name of justice.

3M has introduced its new Mpro150, a pico projector that the company said combines the advantages of a pico projector coupled with several presentation tools not usually found in devices in the pico category.
The MPro150 supports Microsoft Office applications (Word, Power Point and Excel), as well as Adobe PDF, photos, and video. It includes 1 GB internal memory, a micro SD card slot, and a USB input for transferring files from a laptop or netbook, allowing entire presentations to be pre-loaded onto the projector itself. Images can be projected up to 50 inches at 15 lumens brightness.
For personal audio applications, the unit incorporates an MP3 player and headphone jack. Sound can also be shared using the integrated stereo speakers.
Standard with the pico projector are an integrated flip stand, tripod, and a variety of input cables, making the MPro150 ready to use immediately with a wide range of video output devices. Available optional accessories include an adapter cable for Apple products, component video cable, and car charger.
The MPro150 is slightly longer than 5 inches and weighs 5.6 ounces. It is available now for pre-order from 3M and Amazon. The estimated price is $395.

I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity, ... [it] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.Franklin Pierce
A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?Marcus Tullius Cicero
Affection without sentiment, authority without cruelty, discipline without aggression, humor without ridicule, sacrifice without obligation, companionship without possessiveness.William E. Blatz
Destiny: A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.Ambrose Bierce
A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press, must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the right of the people to know.Murray I. Gurfein
Sincerity is the LUXURY allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.Ralph Waldo Emerson
By the worldly standards of public life, all scholars in their work are of course oddly virtuous. They do not make wild claims, they do not cheat, they do not try to persuade at any cost, they appeal neither to prejudice nor to authority, they are often frank about their ignorance, their disputes are fairly decorous, they do not confuse what is being argued with race, politics, sex or age, they listen patiently to the young and to the old who both know everything. These are the general virtues of scholarship, and they are peculiarly the virtues of science.Jacob Bronowski
Ours is an age of criticism, to which everything must be subjected. The sacredness of religion, and the authority of legislation, are by many regarded as grounds for exemption from the examination by this tribunal, But, if they are exempted, and cannot lay claim to sincere respect, which reason accords only to that which has stood the test of a free and public examination.Immanuel Kant
Every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact casus non faederis to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits. Without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for themThomas Jefferson
I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity. To approve the measure would be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is foundedFranklin Pierce
Personally, I'm in favor of democracy, which means that the central institutions of society have to be under popular control. Now, under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist; that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be establishedat every level--there's little bargaining, a little give and take,but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward. Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I'm opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy.Noam Chomsky
Authority doesn't work without prestige, or prestige without distance.Charles de Gaulle
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.Michel Foucault
Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. . . . Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.Ralph Waldo Emerson

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.Leonardo da Vinci
The wisest have the most authority.Plato
In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity of order, has never been so promising as an independent expression as it is today.Lincoln Kirstein
I have very little hope that any permission can be gained for your organization. However, I shall place it in a special folder with similar applications and raise the question from time to time with such people here as may have authority.Anna Louise Strong
Admittedly, scientific authority is not distributed evenly throughout the body of scientists; some distinguished members of the profession predominate over others of a more junior standing.Michael Polanyi
Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.Leonardo da Vinci
Any acceptance of authority is the very denial of truth.Jiddu Krishnamurti
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.Ronald Reagan
The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the ConstitutionRonald Reagan

Two economists say their study shows that investors assign higher share values to companies run by attractive chief executives, that these chiefs are paid more than less-appealing counterparts and that the better looking the C.E.O.'s, the better they are at undertaking financially successful deals. The conclusion of the unusual academic study — a sort of corporate version of "Hot or Not" — is that shareholders are as easily swayed by the glint in the eye of a chief executive as they are by a company's actual numbers, at least in the short term.

If those ass hats had a life, they'd have realized that 30 Rock even did an episode on this.
You must get invited to all the good parties.

Last year, the shambling, quizzical, brilliant Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett collected a bunch of her music into The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas. She insisted it wasn't her debut album, but we gave it Album Of The Week anyway. Barnett played both Coachella weekends, despite Coachella maybe not being the best environment for sharply-written stoner fantasias. And last night, she showed up on American TV for the first time ever as the musical guest on The Tonight Show, where she played "Avant Gardener," her amazing story-song about a midday medical emergency. Watch her exceedingly winning performance below.
The Double EP: A Sea Of Split Peas is out now on Mom + Pop, and check out the great Grantland feature that my friend Sean Fennessey wrote about Barnett at Coachella. Sean should write about music more.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Sol Timor Aptos Hotel
phonebill stingfrom al-and-norma
while there the only way to phone home from the hotel room is by giving your credit card number
i havejust got my credit card statement and a 15 min call cost£35 . 67p
and a 5 min call cost £13 . 34
what a nasty surprise
the phone home shop around the corner is very reasonable
Excellent Locationfrom polly6
We had a studio which was clean and was a adequate size for the two of us. We were on the 8th floor and what a lovely view of the pool and beach with the mediterranean sea. Beds were changed every 4th day and towels were changed every other day (put used towels on bathroom floor so they know which ones to change it worked for us)
We had no trouble with noise maybe we were lucky there.
Pool area was cleaned daily sunbeds was 2 euro each.
There was activities daily for kids and adults. Supermarket was very handy and they were cheaper than the supermarkets outside.
Great location on the beach and by the beautiful marina which has shops, bars and restaurants.
Across the road you have English and Irish bars with karaoke and different acts and the ones we went in they closed the doors at midnight to keep the noice down. We never had a bad nights sleep.
We hired the fan ( great for cooling off ) and the safety deposit box which are in your room.
Hope we have put minds at rest Sol Timor is a lovely place with friendly staff and we would stay there again.

What a fantastic hotel and fantastic staff!
We will return...

great locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Basic or what!from Inishowen
Clean enough but shame about the itchy sofas!from jenster
My husband and I thought Torremolinos itself would be a great place to bring kids, it feels like a very quiet, very safe and very clean town. We just wouldn't stay at the Sol Timor again and from this experience, not at any of the other Sol chain properties either.
And beware of the extremely itchy sofas made of some fabric which went out of production in the 60s!
Location!location!location!from A TripAdvisor Member
Staff very friendly,even in the Supermercado -almost unheard of!
Some minor irritants included having to rent (a somewhat antique!)kettle with a 30 euro deposit (bring enough cash!) and being charged 4 euros per day for the sunbeds which would normally be free in most places.However, these were outweighed by all else including the weather,the food and general scenery.
Highly recommended!

Top Local Tips for Torremolinos
High Season Do not take Sun lotion which is water resistant. You Fry
Torremolinos Torremolinos was a great place to stay, because it's location ,was a good central location, to get to other areas of interest, in the southern part of Spain,such as Malaga, Granada,Seville,Tangiers etc.Public transportation was also excellent!
Getting there If you want to beat the rush. Get a taxi from the airport. It is ony €20 and well worth it. We were first to the Sol Timor, and we got first choice of rooms. Just let your respective rep know at the airport, becaue they can tick you off their list for the coach.

I made the turkey exactly as written, except I used 1 tsp. of the dried mustard as opposed to two, since I do not like a mustard flavor on my meat or fish. The turkey was very moist and with turkey breasts, that is saying something. I will make this recipe again, but will omit the orange zest as imparted a flavor that I did not care for. There was enough liquid from the turkey to make a little gravy (I added a half cup of chicken stock, and all in all, this was a very flavorful and moist piece of turkey. I think the addition of the compound butter made the turkey very moist. I would recommend this recipe!

"We have to find her soon, the one who will turn the snow white."Shin Shirayuki-hime Densetsu Puriitia — "Pr�tear: The New Legend of Snow-White", often shortened to just Pr�tear — is a shojo story with a premise that can be described as "Magical Girl Warrior Snow White And The Seven Bishonen". Exactly what it sounds like — nothing too original, but nevertheless quite entertaining, if you are into this particular genre. Originally a four-volume manga created by Jun'ichi Sato (best known as the director of the Sailor Moon and Princess Tutu anime series) and Kaori Naruse, it was adapted into a thirteen-episode anime series, with some noticeable changes in the plot and character designs; both the manga and the anime were licensed by ADV; the anime is now licensed by Funimation.The story revolves around sixteen-year-old Himeno Awayuki, who finds herself in a situation quite a bit like in "Cinderella": several years after her mother's death, her father Kaoru married the rich widow Natsue who has two daughters, neither of whom seem to like Himeno. Unable to fit into this new environment, Himeno gets more and more depressed, even starting to think that it would be better if she disappeared from the world... that is, until she stumbles upon seven magical boys who call themselves the L�afe Knights. They are searching for a girl who can accept their Elemental Powers and become a Magical Girl Warrior named "Pr�tear". You can guess what happens next...Not to be confused with Pretty Cure.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Fifteen years after it was accused of illegally testing a drug on children, American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer began this week to pay compensation to families in Nigeria.
During an outbreak of meningitis in 1996, Pfizer injected about 200 children with the drug Trovan as part of a clinical trial. Eleven kids died and dozens more developed disabilities.
Trovan was never approved for use by American children, and while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it for adults in 1998, the FDA later restricted its use after reports of liver failure in patients. The European Union banned the drug in 1999.
Families in Nigeria sued Pfizer, which settled out of court for $75 million.
Parents of four children who died received checks of $175,000 each at a ceremony in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, where the trial took place. Other families have complained about Pfizer's slow pace of awarding payments, which has been blamed on a dispute over whether DNA testing should be used to verify the identification of victims.

With his broad, serious face and lanky body, Paul Dano has always played the kinds of finely tuned characters that pop out for their intensity, from a black-haired, mostly silent 16-year-old in 2006's Little Miss Sunshine to a screaming evangelical preacher, and his twin brother, in 2007's There Will Be Blood. He's also proved himself to be neurotically funny, as he was in this year's romantic comedy Ruby Sparks.
But 28-year-old Dano has rarely played a dad on film (he adopts a baby in 2008's Gigantic), much less the deadbeat rocker dad starring role he takes on in the Tribeca Film indie For Ellen, out now on VOD and in theaters in Los Angeles, Florida and Chicago on Friday, on top of already being in New York.
As scraggly hipster musician Joby Taylor, complete with chin scruff, long hair, snug-fitting pants, chipped black nail polish and fake tattoos, he deals with a looming divorce, and whether he'll lose all custody of his estranged 6-year-old daughter Ellen, played by cutely somber newcomer Shaylena Mandigo. Dano and Mandigo play off of each other with the realistic awkwardness of a parent and child who don't know each other. For inspiration, Dano read books about such hard-partying bands as Motley Crue. The film's writer-director So Yong Kim, known for her female-centric South Korean language movies Treeless Mountain and In Between Days, based For Ellen on her own back story. Her parents divorced when she was a kid, and her father disappeared.
A trouper over the phone, talking to EW.com while sick with a fever, Dano delved into the surprising glory of wearing tight pants, how he hates shopping, the joys of working with a child actor and going deep into a part "so unlike me," his part as a futuristic assassin in Looper, and other films on the horizon.

Applied Reputation – Part 1
I spend a great deal of my time helping others develop their own sense of personal identity. Most of us find it very simple to recognize a "celebrity" or a "household name," but a lot of folks fail to realize that we ourselves are a brand as well.
Then again, this is the two-thousand-teens and a whole bunch of you already know that. Half of you are rockin' 500+ on your LinkedIn profile and feel pretty special with all those Twitter followers. Brand is the biznass and ya'll got it goin' on. But how many of us are intentionally applying our reputations?
Applied reputation is using your personal brand on purpose.
It's harder than it looks! I'm working on a "sizzle reel" for folks that might want to hire your old pal Pink to come and speak on their college or corporate campuses. Doing so requires that I write a script about what makes me so awesome, and while you'd think that somebody with my incredible intellect, charm and stunning good-looks would find it easy to go on for days about his incredible self… alas, "what makes you so special" can be a surprisingly difficult question to answer.
I am going to share several "self branding" tips here over the coming weeks as this project comes together, but I'll start with these two that have really helped me get the process started.
- Brand involves something that others think about us. While we may be different things to many different people, we all have a few friends around that like us the most. Those are the folks we should be talking to about what makes us unique. This can be as simple as having them give you feedback on your LinkedIn profile or resume, or it might come out during a long-form conversation. Either way, we all stand to go further, faster, with a little help from our friends. In fact, it was my pal Nate Kalaf of Tall Palms Creative that inspired this very post!
- Record the conversation! While interviewing a local business owner for an article that will be published in the next edition of Angling Trade Magazine, I recorded the conversation to make sure I didn't miss any of his finer points. What happened next really surprised me. There were a few comments made just in passing during the interview that I had completely forgotten about, and one of them ended up becoming the title of the article itself.
I was so surprised by the phenomenon I used the technique again during a consultation with a client. In 90 minutes of conversation between 3 people, so many little details were covered I would never have remembered them all, even though I was taking notes. The recording shed a whole new light on the opportunities bouncing around for all of us. I even went so far as to have it transcribed and then highlighted the most important themes throughout. The point here isn't to record every conversation you have from now on, but if you are seeking the opinions of your friends about your personal brand, take the opportunity to record their comments. You might just stumble across a key statement or three that they make about you, or even that you make about yourself. Pretty much all modern smart phones come equipped with a voice recorder these days, and if yours doesn't have one, the app store of your choice probably has one for free.
There's more where these tips came from so stay tuned, but the main point to take away today is that defining ourselves can be more challenging than we expect. Don't be afraid to ask others for help when you need it, and consider recording the conversation to capture the finer points.
4 Comments
I started recording conversations to turn client content into blog posts and found it was so effective I started doing it for meetings.
It's been incredibly helpful, especially in the discovery phase! Whenever i'm confused about something brought up in a meeting, I can usually trace it back to a few times someone has contradicted themselves throughout the meeting. But i would have never caught that if I didn't go back and listen to it.
Looking forward to the next posts in the series!
Thanks man! I can't believe that I was 15 years into my career before I realized that recording a conversation can make a huge difference.
In fact, the book I'm working on is based heavily on lectures that I have recorded as well. We all speak so differently than we write, even if we enjoy the writing process! It's just amazing how much more content we produce verbally in a short period of time.
Case in point… that 90 minute meeting I mentioned above? It clocked in at 13,000 words. An average bestselling business book runs about 70,000 words. So in 90 minutes of talking things out, you might well be 20% of the way to the New York Times Best Seller list.
Thanks for your your comment, my friend!
Love the concept, Pinky!
You know me. I can't help but offer some unsolicited editorial opinion. So I was thinking…
The Venn diagram might be more representational of the issue if you made the circles disproportionate and even more overlapped. Even in the largest, well-funded companies, there are very few people focused on managing identity while there are a ton of people assessing reputation. As individuals this gets even more challenging.
And then, of course, brand is always out of our control
Looking forward to more!
Wise words indeed, my friend! I think you're absolutely right. Do I have to pay royalties on the modified version or can I just give you credit for being a genius whenever I use the new model?
10 points to Gryffindor!

In a four-overtime marathon at home Fri., Jan. 29, Wesleyan went ahead of Tufts for good in the fourth extra frame when Greg St. Jean '13 connected for a three-pointer in the opening minute giving the Cardinals an 88-87 lead. Wesleyan widened the gap to 94-90 when Dave Fogel '13 (#31, left side of photo) put home a banker with 2:07 left. Tufts drew within one after a free throw and a basket with :30 left. After Fogel, who picked up 18 points in the contest, sank a pair at the line with :20 left, Tufts attempt to tie with a three-pointer missed the mark. Wesleyan appeared to get the rebound but was called for traveling, giving the Jumbos another chance. Again, a three-pointer by Tufts failed to connect and St. Jean cleared the board, was fouled, and made two more at the line for the final margin of 98-93 with less than a second remaining.
Wesleyan was led by Shasha Brown '13 (#5, right side of photo) with 30 points, but he missed the final overtime due to cramps. While Tufts had three players with a double-double, St. Jean had the lone double-double for the Cardinals with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jason Mendell '12 also hit double-digits in the scoring department with 15 for Wesleyan.
Wesleyan had the final shot in regulation with the score tied, and had the same game-winning opportunity in each of the first two overtimes, only to come up short each time. Tufts had the final attempt in the third OT but also came away empty.
Wesleyan enjoyed the game's largest lead in the first half at 32-18 with seven minutes to go before intermission. Tufts recovered and took its first lead since holding a 4-2 edge in the opening moments with a trey with 8:58 left in regulation to give the Jumbos a 54-51 lead. Tufts extended its advantage to 63-58 with 4:20 left. Wesleyan took a 64-63 lead and Tufts tied it with 2:13 left on a free throw. There was no further scoring in regulation though Wesleyan took the final five shots of the period on the same possession.
Wesleyan led 71-67 in the first OT but Tufts came back to tie with :21 to go. Tufts built a 78-73 lead the he second OT only to have Wesleyan come back to tie at 78-78 on a Brown three-pointer with :58 to go. Each team missed its last attempt of the frame. The third OT belonged to Wesleyan early with an 84-80 margin. Again Tufts responded and went ahead 85-84 with :50 to go. The Cardinals got a free throw from Fogel to tie with :36, but he missed the second. Tufts' final shot missed, moving the teams into a fourth extra period.
Wesleyan had a shorter game when it closed out its NESCAC weekend by hosting Bates Sat., Jan. 30. In this situation, the Cardinals might have preferred a little extra time as the team rallied from a 15-point deficit with six minutes remaining to climb within four at 69-65 with 1:23 left behind a 13-2 run. Wesleyan had three attempts to cut the margin even more, but missed the mark and the Bobcats converted five free throws in the final 37 seconds to seal a 74-69 victory.
Bates led the game from start to finish with leads ranging from 16 points in the second half (56-40) to just two points (26-24) in the first period. Wesleyan got 18 points from Mendell to lead the team. Mike Callaghan '13 added 13 and Derick Beresford '13 chipped in with 10. St. Jean had seven points, five boards and five assists.
Wesleyan was back on the court Tues, Feb. 2 hosting in-state but non-conference foe Eastern Connecticut. Again, Brown was the catalyst for a win as he scored a team-high 13 points and gave Wesleyan the lead for good with 3:40 to play, helping the Cardinals post a 67-64 victory.
Brown scored down low off a feed from St. Jean, who had six assists, to spot the Cards a 57-55 lead. The margin grew to 61-55 behind two Dave Maltz '11 (10 points) inside baskets but Eastern got back to within one at 63-62 in the final minute. A fast-break basket by Mendell (10 points) and a pair of critical free throws by Callaghan with :17.7 left kept the Cardinals ahead. Eastern tried for the tie in the closing seconds but missed with a three-point try and another two-point attempt as Mendell grabbed the final rebound to clinch the triumph.
Wesleyan closes out the home season Sat., Feb. 6 against Conn. College in a game slated for a webcast. A link to watch the contest is available on the athletics hoe page under "Webcasts."
