Costumes make history fun for kids and adults. Imagine walking into the Halloween party wearing Lady Liberty. Invite your significant other to be Uncle Sam. Together you can make and impressive grand entrance to the party — and set the stage for making some memorable history of your own. If that's not your thing then how about paying tribute to the King in our Elvis grand heritage adult costume. You'll be perfectly attired to Rock n' roll the night away wearing the T-Bird Sweetie adult plus costume or the Poodle skirt, top and scarf adult plus costume. Jump ahead to the free-loving 60s. It provided more than just love, they also provided fashion. So if boho is your look, check out our Hippie Love Child adult costume and John Q Woodstock adult costume. It's important to teach history to children as well, so make sure you get your daughter the Car Hop Child costume. Tell her this is the way Grandma used to get her burgers and shakes and do her social networking. Of course if you really want to go back in time — ancient history would be fun! Egypt has its allure and a definite style! You may just be beach side of your duck pond on the back forty, but in our Egyptian Jewel adult costume you'll feel like you're sailing on the Nile. Wear a historical costume and prepare for new adventures!

text: YANKTON, S.D. (AP) - The number of irrigation permits issued in South Dakota last year soared as farmers worked to recover from a devastating drought the year before. The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources issued 354 irrigation permits in 2013, more than doubling the 2012 total of 174. In 2011, only 62 permits were issued. Some 40-percent of last year's permits were issued in five southeastern counties that were hard-hit by drought in 2012. State natural resources engineer Ron Duvall says drought was the main factor in the permit increase last year, but higher crop prices and lower interest rates also had an influence. He says the three factors created "the perfect storm" for more interest in irrigation. AP-WF-01-28-14 1500GMT

The NAB show is nominally a trade-only event for the broadcast TV and radio industry.
Programmers such as News Corp's (NWS) FoxSports come here to inspect, say, the spankin' new video production trucks they've just leased. Big-iron television and radio equipment vendors such as Sony (SNE), Toshiba, Chyron, SES Americom, Snell & Wilcox and more come here to schmooze their programmer clients. Industry heavyweights walk the halls. I hung out with everybody from the owner of the New England Patriots to the head of engineering for WOR radio in New York City.
And since today's media business has spread to cable, satellite and even consumers -- we all can make hits on YouTube -- the NAB now covers the entire media world:

This advertisement is ultimately based on page 1 of "Bus-Ride to Nowhere" in Action Comics (DC, 1938 series) 430, December 1973. However, the image as used comes from the cover of Superman (K. G. Murray, 1977 series) 2. This suggests that Federal acquired K. G. Murray's back catalogue archives when they took over reprinting DC comics in Australia. This version of the advertisement has the "Federal Comics FC" logo; other versions exist with later Federal branding.
The title page of "Secret of Genesis" has been removed to merge the two stories. This was initially published in the US as a Justice League story.
Origin of Red Tornado retold. Background recap.
The images in this advertisement (www.ausreprints.com/content/gallery?advert=165) appear to have been taken from a comic, but the source has not been identified.

Twitter: The Modern Day Autograph
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Earlier this year, my comment that Twitter is the modern day newspaper resonated with some readers.
Twitter has the kind of multigenerational staying power that makes its forthcoming IPO a better long-term bet than Facebook (FB). And I believe in the power, the glory, the magic and the ministry of the hoodie.
Twitter connects and stimulates people in so many more ways than Facebook.
I was thinking about it last night.Recently, my daughter started doing something old school. She writes letters to the snail mail addresses of the pop band One Direction and the cast of kids' television shows such as iCarly and A.N.T. Farm asking for autographs. When I was her age back in the 1980s, I did the same thing. I'll never forget receiving signed 8 x 10s in the mail from former New York Giants stars Mark Bavaro and Joe Morris. It was so cool. You send the letter. You lose all hope and forget about it. And then, out of nowhere, maybe nine months later, your request shows up in the mail. I think that happened to me with Rick Springfield. For a second, I wondered why my tech-savvy kid is doing this. It seems so 1984. She's not posing next to a Born in the USA album cover like I was back in the day. She's an iTunes and Pandora (P) girl. I'm happy about it. I appreciate that the way things used to get done still hold some attraction. But, on the other hand, my kid doesn't have a Twitter account, though we "allow" her to have a Facebook. We're not keeping her from Twitter, she just hasn't asked. While she knows all about Twitter, I don't think she quite grasps its potential value in her life. That's partially my fault because I have positioned it as "the newspaper" and my source for all things stock market and hockey. That's enough to turn any "One Directioner" off. You just cannot do on Facebook what you can do on Twitter.

Setting or Resetting Drive Number in a New Install
I just finished the first initial install of Win7 Ultimate 64x on a new build (no drivers just yet). I installed the OS on a 128GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD while it was the only drive in the case. I didn't pay attention to the drive number when I checked it in Drive Management. I connected the second drive (new 2TB WD Black: E:/) that I had preformated on another machine. When I checked in Disk Management, I found the C:/ drive number was 1 and the E:/ drive number was 0. When I connected the third drive (slightly used 2TB WD Black: F:/) from my XP machine (I eliminated the C: partition and expanded the F:/ partition on another machine) and it was numbered disk 2.
Why on earth did the C:/ drive get numbered disk 1 when it was the only drive on the machine and, when I added the E:/ drive, it got numbered drive 0? Is there anyway to switch the two numbers? I don't have a problem with doing another clean install if necessary if that would work.
|My System Specs

Win7 x 6 PC's
That most often has to do with the SATA port you plug the HD or SSD into. You can try swapping them around so the OS drive is Disk0 so that if repairs are done it won't derail the System boot files to another preceding HD partition.
You may have been advised to plug the SSD into a certain port which is optimal but won't register as Disk0. I'd just leave it in that case being careful that only the SSD is plugged in during reinstall or Startup Repairs.
Sometimes you can't control which Disk# is assigned no matter where you plug HD. This was explained in an older thread which I saw earlier today so I'll try to find it. Someone else may chime in with knowledge of the exception.
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2013
The board I'm using (ASUS P9X79 WS) requires booting from one of the two Intel SATA 6.0gb/s ports (both if running two boot drives in RAID 0; I'm keeping the other port reserved in case I decide to do so someday). I moved the C:/ from the port that I was using to the other one and disconnected the two HDDs. When I fired the machine back up and checked in Disk Management, it was showing the SSD as being Drive 0. But when I connected the E:/ drive and fired the machine back up (I shut it down and kill the power before working inside), the C:/ drive was Drive 1 and the E:/ was Drive 0 (mutter, mutter, mumble, mumble).
The board also has two SATA 6.0gb/s ports running off a Marvel chip and four SATA 3.0gb/s running off the CPU. I have the E:/ drive running off one of the Marvel ports and I'm keeping the other Marvel port available for possible future caching of the E:/ drive (the board is set up for that). I was temporarily running F:/ on one of the Intel SATA 3.0gb/s but I didn't reconnect it this time (I'll eventually be running it off a LSI SATA/SAS 9211-8i SATA card).
I know I'm being totally anal (in my case, it comes with having ADHD) but it would be so much more convenient if Drive numbers 1-? (I have room for six) would correspond to the physical drive ID numbers and position in the case.

If you have the ssd plugged into port 1, that`s the best you can do.
ide drives do the same thing if you have them and sata together on a board.

The first disk will always be Disk 0 unless there is an IDE drive then the second disk will be disk 1 and so on .
Did you install the SSD to SATA6G_1 and the other Drive to SATA6G_2 ?

Disk drive numbers may not correspond as expected to the SATA channel numbers when you install Windows on a computer that has multiple SATA or RAID disks
Quote: Originally Posted by Microsoft

Therefore, you may lose important data.
Additionally, when you install Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, or Windows 7, the installation creates a system partition alongside the Windows partition by default. The system partition is created to accommodate a Bitlocker requirement. Bitlocker requires that the boot files and Windows files are located on separate partitions. If the preselected default hard disk is not changed, the system partition is created on the disk that is detected as Disk 0.

Sopping wet The first couple times I wore these boots I thought I bought the best boots ever. A month later my socks were soaked! Water proof lasted for about a month. Now there just snake boots. September 28, 2014
Snake Proof boots for women !! These Are GREAT. I am 5'4 and 118lbs. I usually wear a 6 1\2 to 7 in tennis shoes depending on the shoe brand. I have Georgia boots in boys 5 1\2 that fit good but aren't snake proof. And living in eastern Kentucky rattlers and copperheads are dangerous, these are a must. It is hard to find a ladies boot that isn't a cowboy style and snake proof. Kids sizes suck most of the time, they just don't fit right. But I went out on a limb and bought these in a size 6.5 or 6&1\2. And they fit great and wear even better than I could've hoped for. They ARE TIGHT when first receive them but I pushed foot in and out about 3 times and bend the boot at ankle to the boot toe a few times and they loosened up at ankle opening. But my feet have plenty of room, no sliding feet inside and great traction in mud or rock,unless its wet outside then step lite on rocks...but these boots are great, I have had for 3 weeks now and used them every other day in the mountains. They don't leak when its raining but i haven't been in deep water. I just wanted to give a little more detail to others than I had when trying to decide on these boots and the size, since I am kinda in between sizes I hope this helps with you choosing these boots and they have a 1 year return policy on all boots so no loss, but i truly am happy with these boots and think you will be too. These boots rock. I have not had the displeasure of seeing if the snake proof part is great and hope not to. But its a great back up in a boot to have. Thanks August 19, 2014
Feels like a sneaker Comfortable all day long. Would like smaller sizes so I don't have to wear them too big...sorry but kids sizes are not made as well and kill my feet. Those of us who work outside would also like NOT to wear camo every day or at all. June 13, 2014
Favorite Boots These boots are so comfortable, I fish in them year round. They were a birthday present last year because of a cottonmouth problem at our lake. They are very soft, light and not too hot even here in Alabama. They were exceptionally useful during a recent ice storm; so they have many good uses June 8, 2014

How durable are these?

A:My wife has a pair and they are super water tight and hold up under the thick stuff shes romps through. She loves them. However, they are non-insulated, so your feet will get cold in them, if you are going to wear them in the winter. But she loves them and wears them every time we hunt. She's had them for 2 or 3 years now.

A:Since these are snake boots, they are made snake proof – means they will hold up some punctures. Outside fabric is made up with combination of 900D nylon and span tough (which is more durable and stronger fabric) material. Even though there will be some cosmetic damage after going through briars and thickets, unless puncture goes all the way inside the boots, waterproof would hold up pretty good since waterproof membrane is located inner part of the boots. Hope this helps.

A:I have rubber boots but not tie/zips. My rubber boots are loose fit boots and water easily enters the top of the boot. These fit snugly. I have thin calves and small ankles which causes problems when purchasing boots. These boots fit much better than any boots I have had on.

President Barack Obama said Friday that he has not yet decided what action, if any, will be taken by the United States military against the regime of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
View full story
Mr. President, you need to bannish all those women who always avocate going to war...Susan Rice for example. She and Sec. Clinton both made public staments about war actions against Lybia. Now tell me, what does that country looks like now? The people in your Administration are there to serve themselves and not you President Obama. Please, Please develope some backbone before it's too late and your Presidency becomes the laughing stock for all time.
President Obama, I have been one of your strongest supporters, defending you on every occasion. I can no longer support you with your action against Syria. I agree with SS-Oberstgruppenfuhe r on one point and one only. You have stacked your Admin. with "dimwits and Mediocre Advisers" who knows nothing of fgn policy. They make policy decisions without consulting with you as did Sec. Kerry with his press conference where all but said we would bomb Syria.
Furthermore, there will be an attack on Syria; that will be after G-20 (be sure). This hand-solo attack will hurt US intl relations and Wiki's and Snowden will be rightous. Distrust over the US is not a good balance on thw world's equilibrium.
No need to call "names". History will judge as Bush is being judged. Fact is, you can not go around bombing everyone whom is not your buddy. But don't look at the short range. The US is preparing itself as a controller for the mid and possibly long term future. World is under heavy turmoil since 2001 and the world is not able to output enough comfort to ease desires and needs. It looks so certain how near a WWIII is and the US has to prepare but it just might be loosing credibility. Best not to loose it with Syria. Future is worst.
The Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke. US President Obama, as the nation's first black president, is threatening to attack Syria and rain even more terror down on the common and everyday people. He reminds me of former President Andrew Jackson, who talked smoothly, as he continually punished the North American Indians.
Ronald Reagan was the "Great Communicator" - Bozo Obama is the "Great Deceiver" - He is skilled at lying and his stupid followers do not realize they have been duped. The worst president in the history of America, and he has done more damage to this country than any enemy, foreign or domestic.
Obama has boxed himself, and the entire foreign policy of the United States, into a corner by his stupidity. He, perhaps unknowingly, fell into the trap set by the arch-criminal Jew, Netanyahu, when he espoused his buffoonish rhetoric about some imaginary "red line"! Once Obama uttered those ridiculous words, the die was cast, the trap was sprung. This was pure amateurism on Obama's part, and the consequences of such foolishness will be anything but trivial. Obama has surrounded himself with too many dimwits and mediocre advisors. The fiasco that we see now is the direct result of that decision.
and THIS GUY got a nobel peace prize...
Hey Obomber, don't you know that in the real world there is no such thing as limited military action because for every action there is a reaction so it expands and expands and expands until the whole middle east is ablaze then the whole world is ablaze.
Obama talks of limited operations in Syria. Now why does not Obama have a limited operatio himself. Perhaps a we can start with a Brain transplant and go on from there. Otherwise the world will be in serious trouble.

WHITE PLAINS, NY -- County Executive Robert P. Astorino today announced that Westchester's Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has approved a series of financing and incentives that will enable three major economic development projects to move forward: a senior affordable housing complex in the City of New Rochelle. With a total of $90 million in private investment, a senior affordable housing complex in the Village of Mamaroneck; a professional housing complex in the Village of Elmsford,the projects will create 232 jobs.
The transaction fees paid to the IDA on the projects will generate more than $330,000 which will be used to support small businesses and stimulate job creation.
"Whether you are a professional, young family or a senior, we are committed to providing convenient, modern and environmentally safe housing for our residents," said Astorino. "These 367 new and newly renovated homes help to fulfill our commitment thanks to the great relationship between Westchester's IDA and these business leaders."
New Rochelle Senior Affordable Housing
The purchase and renovation of Washington House in New Rochelle, proposed by Mountco Construction and Development Corporation, is a $47.4 million project, which will receive $23.6 million in financing and tax incentives through the IDA ($23 million in tax-exempt bond financing, $383,500 in sales tax exemption, $299,000 in mortgage recording tax exemption). This project will create 78 jobs. The 211 senior housing units are located at 60 Union Avenue. The rehabilitation will begin in October and take about a year to complete.
"This $47.4 million renovation project will modernize the homes of hundreds of Westchester residents and make them more environmentally friendly too," said John Madeo, executive vice president of Mountco. "County Executive Astorino and the IDA helped move this project forward so these buildings can now be maintained as a quality affordable housing resource for years to come."
Mountco will hire minority and women contractors from the local community who have been recruited through Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon and the City of New Rochelle. In addition, local youth will be hired for the project through the New Rochelle Municipal Housing Authority's NY Youth Work Construction Training Program.
Mamaroneck Senior Affordable Housing
The purchase and renovation of the Mamaroneck Towers, proposed by Elmsford-based Wilder Balter Partners, Inc is a $15.8 million project, which will receive $13.7 million in financing and tax incentives through the IDA ($13.5 million in tax-exempt bond financing, $90,000 in sales tax exemption, $177,580 in mortgage recording tax exemption). The project will create 31 jobs.
"This is the first time we have worked with the county's IDA and we are very impressed with the responsiveness and willingness to support this important project," said Kathleen Rubin, vice president of Wilder Balter Partners, Inc. "We are looking forward to partnering with the IDA in the future on other upcoming projects.
The 75 senior affordable housing units are located at 235-237 Halstead Avenue, across from the Metro North train station in Mamaroneck, and will be outfitted with new windows, kitchens, baths, flooring and air conditioning. The work will also include conversion of the existing boiler, upgrades to the common areas and the feasibility of solar panel installation will be explored. Renovations are expected to begin in December and to be completed by November 2015.
Elmsford Professional Housing Complex
A new market rate rental complex to be built at 290 East Main Street in Elmsford, proposed by locally-based SME Development Partners, LLC, is a $26.9 million project, which will receive $899,000 in tax incentives through the IDA ($650,000 in sales tax exemption, $249,000 in mortgage recording tax exemption). The project will create 123 jobs and increase the property tax revenue nearly fourfold (from $130,000 to $425,000). The land has been vacant since 2007.
"The support from County Executive Astorino's economic development team will help me accelerate this project and get shovels in the ground this fall," said Steven Eickelbeck, principal of SME Development, LLC. "The sooner we get started, the sooner we can provide much needed rental housing for the county's professional workforce."
The 81-units will be located just off I-287 nearby downtown White Plains, and is expected to attract professional tenants looking for convenient, modern housing. The development will include the following amenities: a fitness center; a community room with a bar, television lounge, billiards table and private meeting areas; a rooftop terrace with landscaped lounging and dining areas; and ground-level landscaped outdoor seating areas with fire pits.
The IDA board provided preliminary approval for the project contingent upon continued discussions regarding the addition of affordable housing units and pro-rating the tax benefit to exclude the retail portion of the property.
The IDA is a public benefit corporation created in 1976 for promoting and encouraging economic development in the county primarily through assisting in the creation or retention of jobs.
The IDA is also empowered to issue taxable and tax-exempt bonds for organizations meeting federal and state guidelines. There is no financial risk to the county or to county taxpayers. The obligation for repaying the debt rests solely with the organizations.
Any corporation or small company looking to access the low-cost and tax-exempt project financing made available through the IDA should contact Jim Coleman, executive director of the IDA, at (914) 995-2963 or email@example.com.

Although Paula Abdul was crying her eyes out the other night on American Idol when Chris was voted out, she's pulling for Elliott.
"I am going to be honest with you – I want Elliott to win," she tells Teen People.
"I feel like I changed the face of the competition by making America wake up and see the talent that Elliott possesses," says Abdul of Yamin.
Despite her love for Elliott, Paula also has nice things to say about the two other contestants -- Taylor and Katharine -- as well as Chris, who was given the boot on Wednesday night.
"People can make fun of me all they want [for crying on the show], but I care so much about all these kids."
Ah, Paula. You're such a sweetheart… Just don't start screwing around with Elliott like that whole Corey Clark fiasco.

Weekly DVD Drinking Game: Real SteelDrinking Games By Kevin Carr on January 24, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
When a boxing robot movie was first rumored about, a lot of people rolled their eyes and shook their heads. It's bad enough that we've got adaptations of the board games Monopoly and Battleship coming down the pike, but a Rock'em Sock'em Robots movie just seemed ridiculous. The result was Real Steel, which is a pretty cool flick, believe it or not. It's not going to win any awards (except maybe Best Visual Effects, thanks to an Oscar nomination this week), but it's still an entertaining action film about a father and son and a robot beating the bolts out of other robots. And like any good sporting event, it is more fun to drink while watching it.

Because You Asked For It: A Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots MovieIn Development By Scott Beggs on June 25, 2010 | Comments (5)
You know that we've been pummeled into submission here in the movie news world when the announcement of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em: The Reckoning, the name I've made up for this movie, doesn't even force and eyebrow into the upright and locked position. The constant stream of bad ideas coming out of Hollywood coupled with the lack of success this summer will most likely leave some non-creative, beyond the curve producers looking for work and stagger the system with whatever the next trend will be. That trend, friends, is toy robots fighting each other. According to Mattel.

Our manuscript shows that honey has a variety of positive nutritional and health effects. It contains at least 181 substances, is a supersaturated solution of sugars, and contains small amounts of proteins, enzymes, amino acids, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, aroma compounds and polyphones. This article reviews reports on the use of honey in the treatment of human disorders, which are supported by clinical tests and published in medical journals. First, the composition of honey is described, followed by its physiological and nutritional effects. Finally, the influence of honey on gastroenterology and cardiovascular effects is illustrated.

2WW ends early
|Sat, 08-08-2009 - 1:18am
I was planning to test on the 12th of this month but AF decided to arrive today...UGH! Even though I did not expect to see a BFP this cycle, I am still a bit disappointed. I guess deep down inside we always "hope". The positives are..I didn't waste another HPT, my 2WW was shorter and we get the chance to get started again sooner. Off to next month. If we get lucky in September I will be able to test as early as the 1st..a BFP would be an awesome birthday present for me!

We finished getting out kit together this afternoon.

It was for awhile. We have had hurricanes here in the past, but nothing as serious as she was. Oh and never ever a tornado warning. I actually had to google on my phone what we should do in the event of a tornado.
|Tue, 08-30-2011 - 9:13pm
Oh I'm so glad your damage was minimal and you have your internet back!u I'm sure the whole thing was very scary.
|Tue, 08-30-2011 - 4:30pm
Hi all!! My internet has been out until today. We did okay. We had about 2 inches of water in the basement. Thankfully, the sandbags helped. Our screen door on the front of our house was ripped off. Somehow, it wound up stuck in a tree around the corner. lol. It was gut wrenching seeing it when we were driving back, but now I can kind of laugh at it. We were very lucky. A lot of our neighbors who didn't prepare as well had far more damage.

Just wondering how you did during Irene? I know some areas got hit pretty hard while others escaped the worst of it. Hope all is well with you. Check in when you can!

Lyceum Theatre, downtown Horton Plaza
In 1973, energetic Glenna Hazleton decided to found
another series, this time in the downtown San Diego area. Since
then, fifteen free Mini-Concerts have been presented at the Lyceum
each year. Until the fall of 2004, the downtown series was governed
by the organization known as San Diego Mini-Concerts. Since then the Athenaeum has taken on the series.
These concerts are made possible in part, thanks to funding from the City of San Diego through a program managed
by the Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego. This Program is funded in part by Horton Plaza Theatre Foundation, an organization funded by the City of San Diego Special Promotion Programs.

Follow us:
The deal -- although much welcome -- is once again just a band-aid. I, along with I'm sure most Americans, do not look forward to doing this all over again in February. Hopefully, the two sides can work together without the pressure of a such a close deadline.
Finally! After weeks of bickering and failed negotiations, a bipartisan budget deal is expected to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-led House tonight before a midnight deadline. The deal would keep the government open through January 15, 2014 and lift the debt ceiling until February 7, 2014.
President Obama is expected to sign the measure, which also directs Congressional leaders to name negotiators to craft a larger budget deal by the end of the year. Today's agreement does not defund the Affordable Care Act, but does preserve the budget cuts enacted through sequestration. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said earlier, "We fought the good fight, we just didn't win." What do you say?
What's your reaction to the apparent deal in Washington to reopen the government and allow the United States to continue to pay its bills? Is the compromise fair? Are you surprised it took 16 days for an agreement to be reached? Who are the winners and losers in Washington today?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
This act is getting very old already ! To me this is not a bipartisan deal.What happens is this Obama Care started off on the wrong foot and everyoneshould remember the arrogance of Reid and Pelosi from the very beginning inthat no one knew what was in this Obama Care. Reid and Pelosi just insistedthat it get passed and when many were complaining and asking to many questions Pelosi said read it after we pass it. Until this day the only person that has absorbed it cover to cover is Betsy McCall and I commend her forher hard work in taking on such a humongous project. [A PIECE OF WORK IS MORE LIKE IT]They need to stop all of these old cronies from getting involved in all the decisions of this country that we have to live by. They get to many privilegesand we are treated as though we were all second class citizens. We pay yoursalaries and don't forget it. What is the point of raising the debt when they all keep on spending to oblivionwith our money. [BIG SPORTS FOR SURE = THAT ALSO APPLIES TO THE LOCALAND STATE GOVERNMENTS]No I'm not surprised that it took this long because they all were well aware ofwhat the outcome would be. They the REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS have become one and just where does that leave us.We the people that have lost our jobs and homes and are surviving hand tomouth and no one cares in Washington for any of us. Just what happened toall of the promises from these hot shots saying they will get jobs and betterhousing and all it amounts to is a lot of BULL in my estimation. I though allof these appointed jobs to the government workers were high paying jobsand you mean they were complaining that they lost two weeks pay. Whatmust the rest of us say that have been hit so hard in every way and we areliving this if we can call it living since 2008. Make no mistake about it the President has the jet engines already rivetingup and ready to go and Michele ready to go out and continue her campaigning. IN A FEW WORDS WE THE AMERICAN TAX PAYING CITIZENS HAVE BEENONCE AGAIN MADE DAMN FOOLS OF. A DISGRACE !!!!!!!!! MaxxieeMorris Park
After 2 weeks of political gridlock,there is finally an agreement to reopen the government and to raise the debt ceiling to prevent the nation from defaulting on its financial responsibilities.These past 2 weeks really have proven that our political system is severely broken and divided.While it is good that both sides were able to come to an agreement,keep in mind that we may very well have to start this whole convoluted process again in early 2014-a very comforting but realistic and unnerving fact. The cast of clowns,idiots , miscreants and buffoons in Washington may have even more surprises for us come January and February 2014. Stay tuned,folks!
John Fresh Meadows
This is not a deal, it's a disaster. 00% of these hooples should be fired and a new election held.
Cut the budget, cut it to the bone. Cut taxes, cut them to the bone.
The Republicans and Democrats should work together President Obama is willing to cross party lines to get a budget done the Republicans shouldn't be mad about Obamacare everyone have health insurance HermanUpper West Side
Never before have I seen such a group of buffoons attempting to run our government. Hopefully, we get a large group of more reasonable, educated, roll your sleeves up and work towards helping all of the American people, instead of the group of greedy, selfish, people who now hold position of power in America. How can a country as wealthy as America allow its people to be destitute and have no health care. It's shameful.
Finally the pusillanimous prevaricating right of wrong Republicans have stopped blackmailing innocent and needy Americans. Lacking reason, even minimal compassion for this country which is made the laughing stock of the rest of the world. If senators and house members didn't have such fabulous health care for themselves, they'd have some understanding for the rest of us. Facts and reason are totally irrelevant to these extremists. Shame on them!
The end of the government shutdown has led to one prevailing thought for me: I'm never voting for anyone with an "R" next to their name again, whether they are running for President or dog catcher.
Bob Flushing
we are 15 trillion dollars in debt and they think they did a good job
Marie Belle Harbor
I wouldent trust these Ringling Brother 's applicant's (republicans) to sell sun glasses in the middle of the Sahara De sert, they are truly strange and differen t
The people of America unfortunately were the losers and that is shameful. The Republicans didn't get their way this time but I'm sure that they will think of something else later. There should be a FINE for holding the country 'hostage', should this despicable behavior repeat itself.
ShirleyMount Vernon, NY
No I am not surprised that it took Republicans 16 days, this is exactly the same thing they did in 2011. They waited until the last hour, that's what they do.
There are no Winners and Losers in this mess. Some people have lost businesses because they couldn't get any assistance from the government. Furlough workers didn't get paychecks and couldn't pay their bills. Seniors weren't able to get their meals on wheels. Our state lost billions in revenue. This hit California extremely hard. Let us not forget that European countries think we are arrogant idiots. They have no faith in our government. They are calling to de-Americanize the currency.
This was unnecessary, ignorant and arrogance at it's best in politics spear headed by the Right Winged Side of the Republican Party. This has tainted all the Republican party.
When January comes around the Republicans will take us right back down this road.
TheresaUpper West Side
The Right wing Republicans were the ones who shut down the government and they will also come out the losers. Chris Van Hollen getting the word out on H Res 368 really dealt a blow. It's incredible how the House can take rules made to protect democracy and the people and turn it on its head.
The winners of this government shutdown are those who will profit by it, the losers are us, the people of our nation, the government workers, and those who were productively and financially incapacitated. Our credibility in general, is skating a thin pond around the world.
What Cruz and his minions have done to the country is obscene. They want to cut money out of social programs, but not a penny from the bloated defense budget, which is by far the largest portion of the US budget.
But what's really scary is that China, our country's biggest owner of Treasury bills, is already saying they no longer want the global financial system based on the US financial system. Just wait till China starts selling off T-bills. It will make the Great Depression look like a boom time.
If the 2 week shutdown caused the price of gasoline to come down by .40 cents I say we keep it shut for another two weeks!
George Brooklyn
At this point it should not matter who won or who lost, but that the government finally agreed to end this impasse. Of course it is not the end, since we have January and February to once again see this impasse, unless something gets settled before they go on Christmas vacation. Please make sure that they don't get paid when we face this again. Had they not gotten paid, it would not have taken 16 days.
I do hope that those who vote pay attention to how long you keep these people in office. A law needs to be passed to appoint congress representatives and senators for two terms and no more. If President Washington felt that two terms were enough for the presidency, I don't know why that should not hold true for all government officials. Look what happened with having a mayor have three terms, the education part and increase in real estate taxes has not been the best.
Why did we need a Tea Party? The woman did not know anything about the United States government, and now she and Cruz are influencing the government. How are these people considered government of the people?
We really need a cleaning of the whole Congress and really think of having those who are there of, by and for the people. I can assure you it is not a government in the interest of the people.
Should be illegal to shut down ANY type of government, couldn't they oppose Obamacare any other way?? geez. CarmenBay Ridge
The politicians in Washington, Democrats and Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.
They are a bunch of bums, clowns, that need to be voted out. In addition,Obama is the worst President in US history.
This country needs a revolution, a March on Washingtonlike they did in 1963.
Our forefathers are probably turning over in their gravesthe way the Constitution has been disrespected.
Anthony Brooklyn
Ask anyone in the street if they like Obama care and they will say no. Ask the same person f they like the affordable care act they will say yes!!what's that all about! Goes to show people don't read or think for themselves. With Obama care the rich will need to pay a bit more taxes...oh boy, they may need to get food stamps lol! The republicans should stop playing solitare and go to work on making the law work. We need to provide basic care to all..it's unethical not to. The rich just don't get it.

Pakistan pace duo heads homeComment on this story
SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates – Pakistan fast bowlers Bilawal Bhatti and Mohammad Irfan are heading home to recover from injuries.
Bhatti strained his hamstring while bowling during the second test at Dubai last week and failed to heal in time for the third test which started on Thursday at Sharjah.
Manager Moin Khan said Bhatti needed at least a week's rest before he could compete in domestic first-class matches.
Irfan had been undergoing rehabilitation with the test team in the UAE. He broke his hip when he fell over in his follow through during a Twenty20 international against South Africa in November, and hopes to be fit for next the Asia Cup next month in Bangladesh. – Sapa-AP

I first found out I wasn't supposed to write about women politicians' clothes in 2006. Profiling the Democratic nominee for Nevada governor for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, I had described her as habitually wearing a "shapeless skirt suit."
I wrote that because it was the sort of visual detail that helps readers engage with a piece's subject, and because it illuminated the persona of the candidate, a political science professor. But she took it as a slur. I soon heard that she'd taken to repeating the description at Democratic campaign meetings as evidence of the sexism and media bias her candidacy faced. "Molly Ball, in the Review-Journal, wrote that I wore shapeless skirts!" she would hiss, to sympathetic noises from the crowd. I have no doubt she was wearing a shapeless skirt suit when she said it. But the accuracy of the description wasn't the point; it was the way I'd supposedly tried to trivialize her by writing about the way she looked.
As a newly minted political reporter, it was one of my first lessons in the sinister motivations partisans frequently read into coverage intended as neutral. It was also my introduction to an enduring trope in American politics: the idea that any mention of a woman's appearance constitutes damaging sexism. Jon Ward of the Huffington Post got a similar education recently when he wrote about South Carolina congressional candidate Elizabeth Colbert Busch. He described her wearing "a bright orange overcoat that radiated positive vibes," prompting @nameitchangeit -- "Fighting sexism in the media directed at women candidates and politicians" -- to call him out on Twitter: "Honestly @jonward11 (and rest of @HuffingtonPost), can we stick to the candidates and leave their outfits out of it?" (When Ward pointed out that he'd also described the clothing of Colbert Busch's male opponent, the original blog post attacking his coverage was taken down and replaced with a less critical one.)
In April, Name It Change It issued a study aimed at proving that media mentions of women's appearance hurt their chances of getting elected. The group's researchers conducted a poll in which respondents were introduced to two imaginary candidates -- one male, one female. Then they were split into four groups. The first group, the control, was shown a news story about the candidates in which neither candidate's appearance was mentioned. The second got a story in which the woman's style was described in neutral terms; the third heard a harshly negative description of the woman's appearance; and the fourth was shown a positive portrayal of the woman's looks.
As my colleague Garance Franke-Ruta wrote at the time, the study found that it didn't matter whether the description was positive, negative, or neutral; any mention of the woman candidate's appearance was detrimental to voters' opinions of her. "Jane Smith" got a 69 percent favorable rating when her appearance was not described; her favorability rating dropped to 61 percent with the neutral description, 57 percent with the positive description and 58 percent with the negative one. "Importantly," the study concluded, "even appearance coverage that purports to be neutral or complimentary damages the woman."
But Franke-Ruta also noted that the descriptions the study tested weren't exactly realistic representations of the way the media describes women candidates. "The researchers provide three examples about hypothetical candidate Jane Smith, but I'm not sure these actually communicate what they are intended to," Franke-Ruta wrote. The supposedly "neutral" description, she observed, sounded dowdy; the "negative" description of heavy makeup and "famous fake, tacky nails" communicated something "highly culturally specific."
I can't imagine a mainstream news article describing a candidate's appearance in such overtly judgmental tones. (The study's authors claim their examples are drawn from real news coverage, but the bit about the nails came from two posts on the Huffington Post's style blog and a Washington Post Style piece that grappled with whether we ought to be talking about Michele Bachmann's nails at all.) In methodological terms, there was another glaring problem with the study: It never tested how voters would respond to descriptions of the hypothetical male candidate's appearance. It simply took as a given that women are the only candidates whose looks are routinely examined.
Two political scientists, Danny Hayes of George Washington University and Jennifer Lawless of American University, sought to test the premise in what they believed to be a more rigorous manner. They did their own poll, gauging respondents' reactions to positive, neutral, and negative descriptions of both a male and a female candidate. (They also gave their imaginary candidates identical biographies; the Name It Change It study's male and female subjects had different backgrounds, though voters viewed them about the same before the appearance test.) They found that there was no gender-based difference in how voters responded to the descriptions. Voters reacted negatively to a candidate described as "disheveled and sloppy" whether it was a man or a woman, and actually penalized men more for such judgments. "When Susan Williams and Michael Stevenson are described similarly -- whether in neutral, positive, negative, or no appearance terms -- their favorability ratings are indistinguishable from each other," the authors wrote.

Digital Mystikz and Loefah turn out tracks that strip the Rasta-in-space sound of Horsepower Productions back to heavily reverbed drums, slow grinding subs and raw synth blurts. These tracks exemplify the dubstep scene's musical premise-like dinosaurs caught in a tar pit, the beats pull against the glutinous basslines but never quite break free.
