NEW YORK, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Window Media announces the appointment of Julian Kaj ("Jake") Spencer to publisher of the Washington Blade. Spencer is charged with the day-to-day operations of the nation's most successful and longest continuously published gay and lesbian newspaper. Spencer will oversee sales, manage circulation and direct editorial coverage.
Peter Polimino, President of Window Media, said, "We are very fortunate to have a newspaper professional like Jake on our team. We believe his skills will be an invaluable resource as we move forward into the next generation of print and digital publishing."
With over 23 years of newspaper experience, Spencer brings a wealth of expertise and hard earned knowledge to his new role. He began his newspaper career as the Publisher of The Advertiser-Tribune in Tiffin, Ohio, and later moved to Pennsylvania to run the York Daily Record -- one of the 15 oldest newspapers in the U.S. He launched the paper's Sunday edition and had a marked record of continued increases in circulation and sales. His tenure in York spanned more than 11 years. As the first president of the York Newspaper Company he successfully facilitated the merger of York's two dailies, oversaw the construction of its new office and production plant, and combined the production, sales and circulation operations.
Mr. Spencer went on to form his own companies to acquire professional trade journals serving the print industry, and later purchased Healing Lifestyles & Spas magazine. After owning and running these businesses for more than 10 years, he successfully sold his companies. About the Washington Blade, Spencer states, quite simply, "I look forward to making a positive contribution to this already great publication."
Jake holds a B.S. from West Virginia University and an M.S. from Murray State University. He also served in the United States Army -- reaching the rank of First Lieutenant and receiving the Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam.

Kid Made Modern: A Review
Todd Oldhams Kid Made Modern line for Target gets a thorough assessment from our resident modern kidsEditor at Large Ingrid Abramovitchs two daughters
By Lola and Ruby Simon
Last week we went with our mom, Ingrid Abramovitch, to her office for Take Your Child to Work Day. We got to go on a tour of the Hearst Tower and work on these crafts in the ELLE DECOR office.
Target has a new line from Todd Oldham for kids. The night before, we researched Todd Oldham online with our mom. He had a lot of great ideas and we were really excited to try them out. The line has colorful patterned duct tape, a jewelry-making kit, color-by-number painting kits, a comic book, and crazy crayons that look like jewels, and a big multi-colored crayon.
We got to play with these art supplies and made lots of different things. Overall the stuff is really cool. And we highly recommend it. We tried to pick a favorite but we couldnt do it because we loved everything. You can see everything we made in the slideshow.
Todd Oldhams Kid Made Modern collection will be available at Target stores and online on May 20.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Terrence!
Facts about Terrence
- Breed: Dwarf Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Dwarf
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Terrence's Info...
I am already neutered and housetrained.
On 14 April 2012 Terrence came to New Moon unexpectedly after being abandoned by his owners at an Adoption Event. He was born in April 2010.
Terrence is a wonderful boy!! He is very friendly, very cuddly and is always looking for some love and attention. He is adventurous and likes to investigate his surroundings. He always likes to be with you or near you and will show off just to get your attention. Terrence like his pets and doesn't mind being held at all be is not big on being picked up and carried. Terrence is litter trained!
As you can see from Terrence's picture one of his eye is a little strange. We have had the left eye checked out by our veterinarians and both concluded that it was due to an old untreated injury. His left eye appears damaged and smaller than his good eye but he suffers NO PAIN or ill affects from the injury. Terrence is completely blind in this eye.
Terrence is in great health and is putting his past behind him. He is ready and anxiously waiting for the future! Terrence dreams of a REAL home that will love him, appreciate him and cared for him the way he deserves.
Other Pets at New Moon Rabbit Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Terrence, a North Gower Dwarf was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dwarf for sale in North Gower, or seeking a Dwarf from a breeder in North Gower.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Gower already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Gower breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dwarf breeders who help with Dwarf rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Gower paves the way for another one to be saved.

It's that spooky time of year so here's a review of one of the more ominous characters in the DC Universe.
Going into this collection of Silver and Bronze Age Spectre stories it would be helpful for you to know that the title character is from the Golden Age and started in More Fun Comics #52-101 (1940-45) and was a member of the Justice Society Of America in All-Star Comics #3-23 (1940-45). Created by Jerry Siegel (Superman) and Bernard Bailey (Hourman), The Spectre was a hardboiled detective named Jim Corrigan. Corrigan was murdered and was brought back to life in the form of the Spirit of Vengeance from an entity named The Voice. Seemingly omnipotent, The Spectre was the embodiment of revenge and retribution in a cold hearted manner that didn't take sides. If you did wrong, he would be the judge, jury and executioner.
But this Showcase Presents The Spectre Volume 1is about his return to the DCU in 1966. By this time in history several Golden Age characters had made their return either as a new updated incarnation like Barry Allen's The Flash or reappear from the alternate Earth-2 like Barry's counterpart Jay Garrick. Here, in Showcase #60, we are introduced to Jim Corrigan who is still a detective, but has been without his Spectre alter ego since 1945 (thus his adventures take place on Earth-2). This doesn't seem to bother Corrigan all that much, but is shocked when The Spectre does show his face and explain his whereabouts. This model of the character has vastly superior powers and abilities, but is a bit more carefree at times – this will change.
Like most Golden Age to Silver Age revivals, The Spectre had to "try-out" before getting his own book. He did so in Showcase #60, #61 and #64 in 1966 and then in The Brave And The Bold #72 teaming up with The Flash (Barry Allen) on Earth-1 and #75 (Batman) in 1967-68 with the writer and art credits going to Garnder Fox, Murphy Anderson, Carmine Infantino, and Bob Haney. He finally headlined his own series in late 1967 but it only lasted 10 issues. A young Neal Adams worked in issues #2-5 and during this time the comics were slowly transformed into more of a horror anthology then a superhero book. In issue #9 we see the Spectre stripped of many of his powers by The Voice and must atone for his sin of killing an innocent man by witnessing the perils of the guilty criminals that walks among us every day. The epilogue of this storyline was completed in Justice League of America #83 and sadly that comic is not reprinted here. A gross error by DC.
The Spectre would get revived again in the Bronze Age, in 1974, in the pages of Adventure Comics. This time as a much more cruel and violent figure. Michael Fleisher wrote this version and it is said that he was influenced by the mugging that he had to endure himself. Frustrated by his ordeal, Fleisher turned his anger and contempt to his pen and thus The Spectre. It shows in spades. This is some of the most graphic comics that a costumed superhero has ever been a part of. In the first story alone in Adventure Comics #431, the Spectre is looking down the barrel of a machine gun and disarms the perpetrator by not only melting the gun but melting the man's hands and then his entire body! The next story we find a criminal die by way of giant scissors! The rest you'll have to read for yourself. But I should point out that again this Showcase Presents does not include the full run. Fliesher's Spectre ran in Adventure Comics from the aforementioned #431 to #440. It was cut short by DC editorial and the final three stories along with the original Adventure Comics were published in Wrath Of The Spectre #1-4 (1988). These comics also contained new commentary from Peter Sanderson who not only gives great insight on the mindset of Fliesher but also the challenges artist Jim Aparo had to deal with. A complete trade paperback of the series was published in 2005.
Strangely enough with the abrupt cancellation of The Spectre in Adventure Comics, just a few months later he made one more appearance with Batman in The Brave And The Bold #116. The Spectre and Corrigan were back to their old, superhero team-up, ways from the 1960's. The Spectre was not seen again until the 1980's. In-between teaming up with Superman (DC Comics Presents #29 and The Brave And The Bold #180 and #199 (both with Batman), he was featured in the back-ups of Ghosts #97-99 with the Doctor Thirteen hot on his trail.
The Spectre, of course, went on to guest star in several other comics and eventually got his own title a few more times, Volume 2 #1-31 by Doug Moench and Volume 3 #1-64 by John Ostrander. And who can forget Hal Jordan becoming the Spectre for 27 issues (Volume 4)? Since then Spectre has had a role in several large events including Day Of vengeance and Blackest Night and more recently has been seen in the New 52 thanks to a small mishap by the Phantom Stranger (Phantom Stranger #0).
At 592 pages, it is the third largest Showcase Presents that DC has published. The others are Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, 648 pages and Booster Gold, 624. I point this out because I feel that DC could have made room for Justice League of America #83 and the previously unpublished Wrath Of The Spectre comics. But if DC editorial didn't want that big of a book then they could have split this one volume into two – Volume 1 (Silver Age) and Volume 2 (Bronze Age) and priced them both at $9.99. I think both would have sold well.
Despite the short comings I do recommend this book. The writing is top shelf and the art by Adams and Aparo is beautiful. And if you're like me and want some good, scary and horrific comics to read Halloween night, skip right to the Adventure Comics run on page 368, you'll never look at your hands the same way again!

Quoted from lola let us have that recipe! lol
Quoted from Cathy The one for fried sweet potatoes and apple or the one for sweet potato/apple dumpling?
Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler Are those *raw* sweet potatoes? And the frying actually gets them cooked sufficiently? About how long does that take?
Quoted from Alia_Vo Thank you sharing the potato and apple recipe with us, Cathy. For those that can not have sweet potatoes; pumkin, taro, and/or other hearty winter squashes could be substituted.Alia
Quoted from Carol_the_Dabbler Thanks for the sweet potato clarification, Cathy. I'll have to give that cooking method a try -- sounds yummy!To the list of substitutes, I would also add parsnips (just don't tell Laura! ).

Bloom High School environmental science teacher Jill Krysinski could not be happier with her inedible apple.
That's because on Thursday, the 39-year-old Chicago Heights resident became one of 10 teachers in Illinois this year to be honored with a Golden Apple award, a prize given to outstanding teachers.
Golden Apple awardees also receive a $3,000 check and a semesterlong sabbatical to take classes at Northwestern University.
Krysinski, who has taught at Bloom for 10 years, said she plans to use the money to build a deck for her and her husband's vacation home in Indiana. She also said she wants to study social justice and school funding during her sabbatical next spring due in part to her experience working in a poorer school district.
"I told my husband I'm joining a sorority," Krysinski said. "It's spring rush, so you never know."
Krysinski was teaching her class when she was told about the news. Bloom Township High School District 206 Supt. Lenell Navarre, Bloom Principal Michael Campbell, Chicago Heights Mayor David Gonzalez, media members and others walked into her classroom and made the announcement.
Representatives from the Golden Apple Foundation presented her with a tray of chocolate-dipped apples.
Krysinski will receive her actual Golden Apple award during a ceremony set for October.
Krysinski, the sponsor of the school's science club for the past decade, said she was nominated by the district coordinator for science, Tino Villafor. She learned last month that she was one of 32 finalists for the award.
Since then, Krysinski said, her "stomach has been in knots.
"Anytime someone opens my classroom door, I'm like, 'Is it them?' " Krysinski said.
When told she was a winner, Krysinski cried.
"I'm just doing my job and I didn't think I was phenomenal," she said. "I'm a teacher doing my job and I love it."

Narrative one.
Narrative two.
It makes you think.
A SQUAT grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY. …
"And this," said the Director opening the door, "is the Fertilizing Room."
Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers were plunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. A troop of newly arrived students, very young, pink and callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director's heels. Each of them carried a notebook, in which, whenever the great man spoke, he desperately scribbled. Straight from the horse's mouth. It was a rare privilege. The D. H. C. for Central London always made a point of personally conducting his new students round the various departments …
He pointed. On a very slowly moving band a rack-full of test-tubes was entering a large metal box, another, rack-full was emerging. Machinery faintly purred. It took eight minutes for the tubes to go through, he told them. Eight minutes of hard X-rays being about as much as an egg can stand. A few died; of the rest, the least susceptible divided into two; most put out four buds; some eight; all were returned to the incubators, where the buds began to develop; then, after two days, were suddenly chilled, chilled and checked. Two, four, eight, the buds in their turn budded; and having budded were dosed almost to death with alcohol; consequently burgeoned again and having budded–bud out of bud out of bud–were thereafter–further arrest being generally fatal–left to develop in peace. By which time the original egg was in a fair way to becoming anything from eight to ninety-six embryos– a prodigious improvement, you will agree, on nature. Identical twins–but not in piddling twos and threes as in the old viviparous days, when an egg would sometimes accidentally divide; actually by dozens, by scores at a time.
"Scores," the Director repeated and flung out his arms, as though he were distributing largesse. "Scores."
But one of the students was fool enough to ask where the advantage lay.
"My good boy!" The Director wheeled sharply round on him. "Can't you see? Can't you see?" He raised a hand; his expression was solemn. "Bokanovsky's Process is one of the major instruments of social stability!"
Major instruments of social stability. Standard men and women; in uniform batches. The whole of a small factory staffed with the products of a single bokanovskified egg.
"Ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines!" The voice was almost tremulous with enthusiasm. "You really know where you are. For the first time in history." He quoted the planetary motto. "Community, Identity, Stability." Grand words. "If we could bokanovskify indefinitely the whole problem would be solved." …
ART, SCIENCE–you seem to have paid a fairly high price for your happiness," said the Savage, when they were alone. "Anything else?"
"Well, religion, of course," replied the Controller. "There used to be something called God–before the Nine Years' War. But I was forgetting; you know all about God, I suppose." …
"But if you know about God, why don't you tell them?" asked the Savage indignantly. "Why don't you give them these books about God?"
"For the same reason as we don't give them Othello: they're old; they're about God hundreds of years ago. Not about God now."…
"Then you think there is no God?"
"No, I think there quite probably is one."
"Then why? …"
"Call it the fault of civilization. God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness. That's why I have to keep these books locked up in the safe. They're smut. People would be shocked it …"
"But God's the reason for everything noble and fine and heroic. If you had a God …"
"My dear young friend," said Mustapha Mond, "civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic.
When Aldous Huxley wrote the Brave New World his vision of the future was as follows:
Recreational sex is an integral part of society. According to the World State, sex is a social activity, rather than a means of reproduction (sex is encouraged from early childhood). The few women who can reproduce are conditioned to use birth control, even wearing a "Malthusian belt" (which resembles a cartridge belt and holds "the regulation supply of contraceptives") as a popular fashion accessory. The maxim "everyone belongs to everyone else" is repeated often, and the idea of a "family" is considered pornographic; sexual competition and emotional, romantic relationships are rendered obsolete because they are no longer needed. Marriage, natural birth, parenthood, and pregnancy are considered too obscene to be mentioned in casual conversation. Thus, society has developed a new idea of reproductive comprehension.
Spending time alone is considered an outrageous waste of time and money, and wanting to be an individual is horrifying. Conditioning trains people to consume and never to enjoy being alone, so by spending an afternoon not playing "Obstacle Golf," or not in bed with a friend, one is forfeiting acceptance.
In the World State, people typically die at age 60 having maintained good health and youthfulness their whole life. Death isn't feared; anyone reflecting upon it is reassured by the knowledge that everyone is happy, and that society goes on. Since no one has family, they have no ties to mourn.
Well we are not so far from Utopia after all. Is there a "war on women"? Who's waging that war? Or is the war rather a more generalized one: a war on mankind; on humanity; on all that was once our birthright and can be no longer? How did it come to this?
Dan Riehl is in serious condition in the hospital from respiratory failure. You may wish to consider hitting his tip jar.

Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville, Volume II, Section 4: Influence of Democratic Ideas and Feelings on Political Society; Chapter VI: What Sort of Despotism Democratic Nations Have to Fear:
I think, then, that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything that ever before existed in the world; our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories. …
Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: …
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.+

I have thought many times over the past few years, without ever giving voice to it, that perhaps the reason that the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is so contentious is because just that one issue — the right to bear arms — captures all of the other issues and distills them to their essence.
Popular firearm ownership is messy. Accidents happen. Innocents are hurt or killed. Even worse, in a moment of passion or despair, guns can murder or provide the means to end oneself. It doesn't take much. Elvis Costello's "inch of trigger" is more like an eighth or a quarter. But they also help prevent crime and deter tyrants.
Freedom is messy. Markets soar and then crash. Cities like Detroit become centers of world-changing entrepreneurialism then sink into barbarism (is there any other word for it, really?) in four or five generations. Employment ebbs and flows. Some damn fool in the sticks gets the idea that he wants the moral standards of his forefathers to guide his community, rather than the the more secular version in vogue on the coasts. And free peoples can do stupid things. They can ignore existential threats just to keep the good times going another year. They can vote themselves the treasury. They can ignore their "betters."
Guns and Freedom. Both are messy and dangerous. The alternatives are worse.

Perhaps this thread ought to be called rather "The Narrative." Only the first video contains a narrative—a sepia sermon about how wonderful and urbane and hip it is to vote for Barack Obama. Obama understands women; he gives them freedom, pleasure, and independence.
The second video shows the real-world price which must be paid for indulging in such nonsense: butchered babies ripped from their mother's womb, along with a very penitent Roe who has since departed from The Narrative.
The three themes—Lena, dead babies, and repentence—could be worked into a triptych to better emphasize their interdependence. Perhaps one day they will be, as the Church and her artists and philosophers come to fully reject the great scandal of the modern world.

Listen friends, and mark my words in this moment and this hour–
God is jealous for his name for his name is jealous.Nor is this a charming flower to set before a man
nor one of his commands.Yet, without Jesus, this is more than we can love as we desire
and less than we can know as we desire joy.For the sacred fire
that makes us liars–
I mean, that separates speech from dreams,
and separates our flesh from the future–
is God's power manifested.
So, in the year and the hour– for his sake, invest your desirein Jesus.
Follow his holy fire for right now. Right now he intercedes forus in heaven!
Some will say we are people of the way.
We are people of the way.
We praise his holy name
I am who I am.
I cause things to be.
I am the first cause of creation.
We praise his holy name
Elohym.And say "Thank you Jesus for your precious blood–
better, so much better than the blood of Abel.How then should we pray?
I pray bless me a lot oh God.
Show me your kingdom and righteousness
in such a way that my thoughts words and deeds
reflect your wisdom and power–
and that– for the sake of your honor and glory.
So that I will live in your presence
in this life and the next.
For your name sake
Let me hear my children praise your name
And their children too.
Let them woo 10 generations
coiled up in their dimensions
to the praise of your name.
Let my enemies,neighbors,family, friends,
strangers praise Jesus.
the risen Lord
I pray all this in Jesus name.October 25, 2012 - 7:59 pm Link to this Comment -

The ads are interesting as litmus tests. The first one — a genuine Obama ad by the way — may be perceived as 'obscene' by conservatives. The second one — also a genuine ad — will probably be regarded as 'obscene' by liberals. The obscenity in the second case will be attributed to the 'scare tactics' or 'hatred' that will be ascribed to the message.
Obscenity is a feeling associated with taboo breaking. In the first case the broken taboo consists of equating voting to sex. In the second the taboo consists of criticizing abortion, which is a sacrament to some. Those are things that each side will not do and finds the other side doing them.
It is pure "base energizing". There is no appeal to those across the aisle. The last stages of this campaign seemed marked by polarization. They videos are lines in the sand.

There's nothing shocking here. The utopians of our time have often asserted that they wish to abolish society as it is and impose their wonderful visions starting from zero. The true war is the war upon the essential culture of the West. Everything else has been just tactics. The useful fools of the moment can and will be thrown under the bus when they have ceased to be useful.
Its a war on our culture. Utopia cannot come until it is dead and abolished.
And no, as a practical matter Utopias can't truly be appreciated by the people who inhabit them if they have a non-Utopia to compare it to, no matter how the social engineers who constructed their societies tell them how wonderful it is. How amazing it is that the Utopias of our time have to build walls to keep people in, not out. Its a historical first.
North Korea and California are both examples of this; they only vary in degree. The attitude of the rulers is the same. They only difference is in what they assume they can get away with.
And really the merchants of Utopia would like nothing less than to have it spread everywhere. After all, that means there is nothing to compare it to and nowhere for the guinea pigs to run.

Two thousand years ago, at a time of war and strife and moral civilizational collapse, a child was born. But war and strife and moral collapse are endemic. Is it possible there has been more than one child? Is it possible we are ready for another?
At dusk, the wood in bold relief
A tiny fire breaks the night
Keeping warm a newborn son
His face seen dimly in the light
What wonders will you see, my son
His father asked the sleeping child
What will befall us, you and I
With all about us cruel and wild
I pray the gods will keep us safe
I pray that one day peace will come
And strangers will not take our lives
With happiness for all, not some
And yet in dreams I see a world
A distant land that eons hence
Will trust in nothing but itself
And scorn the thought of innocence
A brave new world my vision sees
Where life is nothing at its core
Where hollow men toil not at all
And satisfaction cries for more
I see a world of death, my son
Where babies are discarded live
Where dawn and dusk are not observed
And life is lived from nine to five
I do not like these dreams, I fear
That they are portents of what will
Be fashioned of our golden land
And yet I feel there is time still
To right the path, to chart the course
It takes but one to give the nod
To take the reins and by his will
Return the people to their God
The fire's low, the night has come
And with the night the beast comes near
But I am with you, standing guard

The Obama Girl has a point. Power is sexy and the vote equals power. Access to power means access to pleasure.
Ms McCorvey has a point. Power includes the power of life and death. Actions have consequences that go beyond immediate gratification.
The Second Amendment focused advocates have a point. The weapon is a source of political power. The Nordic Weapontake of the Rohirrim was a summoning of the militia. As with the Germanic tribal assemblies it was modeled on the King Chieftan was confirming the democratic nature of his authority. Theoden was responsible both for and to his people. He was not appointed by God. In a healthy society people are aware of consequences and a virtuous leader seeks to limit them and understand "How did we come to this?"
You do not give the power of the gun, that is political power and the power to create irreversible consequences such as death or pregnancy, to children. Our problem is how to remain a democracy while keeping Obama Girl's immature itchy fingers and other itchy parts off the guns and levers of power.

Wretchard says: Well we are not so far from Utopia after all. Is there a "war on women"? Who's waging that war?
One surprising answer: someone formerly with the NYPD.
"A New York City police officer plotted to kidnap, cook and eat women, using a crime victim database and possibly an online dating forum to choose potential victims and discussing his twisted scheme in grisly detail online, local and federal law enforcement authorities said.
Six-year NYPD veteran Gilberto Valle, 28, who worked in Harlem, was arrested Wednesday by federal officers on a conspiracy to kidnap charge Wednesday. The U.S. Attorney's office said Valle conspired with multiple, unnamed people 'to kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and cannibalize a number of women.'. . . .
In a conversation from July 9 of this year, Valle is asked by an unknown co-conspirator, 'How big is your oven?'
Valle allegedly responded: 'Big enough to fit one of these girl[s] if I folded their legs…the abduction will have to be flawless…I know all of them.
'I can just show up at [one prospective victim's] home unannounced, it will not alert her, and I can knock her out, wait until dark and kidnap her right out of her home,' he also said before boasting that he could make his own chloroform."
Later, Valle, who law enforcement sources told FoxNews.com is married with a child, mentioned how he would cook his victim.
'I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus…cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible,' he allegedly wrote."
No info. as to whether he might have considered cooking his child if it is a girl. Needless to say, the NYPD has suspended Valle. The whole story is a sad twist on Blast's comment at #22: You do not give the power of the gun, that is political power and the power to create irreversible consequences such as death or pregnancy, to children. Unfortunately, it looks like some of those children are (were) cops.

Thank you for this post, Wretchard. Embedding the second video took a sort of courage. In the prior post I asked a question of tactics. Prudence. In whether to fight the abortion issue so in your face. It comes down to the heart of the people, I guess, how they will react. I'm afraid to find the answer. So I hesitate to ask the question. Because the ads come from a different campaign they do not go directly to Romney, but Obama's campaign is eager to stir up the war against women meme.
What I appreciate about Randall Terry is that he's thinking tactically, much like LL III's strategy to throw out incumbents with an attack of Republicans from their right by organizing Tea Party participation at the primary level. Forgive me if I don't know the difference between tactics and strategy. You need the former to bring about the latter, yes? "Amazing Grace" and the British abolition of slavery, also comes to mind.
I was unable to post earlier because I had to pick up pizza and then put kids to bed. I just spoke with my father about this question, who became a deacon after retiring. Coming straight from this talk to this article, I hear echoes in the comments of John, Charles, Walt, regarding the wisdom of God and human law, the love of our Father, a need to evangelize with a true conversion to Christ, that might be called masculine. Not a great post, but it's late and time is short. In more ways than one.

From "Origins of the Welfare State in America" by Murray Rothbard:
"Perhaps the most fateful of the events giving rise to and shaping the welfare state was the transformation of American Protestantism that took place in a remarkably brief period during the late 1820s. Riding in on a wave from Europe, fueled by an intense emotionalism often generated by revival meetings, this Second Great Awakening conquered and remolded the Protestant churches, leaving such older forms as Calvinism far behind. The new Protestantism was spearheaded by the emotionalism of revival meetings held throughout the country by the REV. CHARLES GRADISON FINNEY. This new Protestantism was pietist, scorning liturgy as papist or formalistic, and equally scornful of the formalisms of Calvinist creed or church organization. Hence, denominationalism, God's Law, and church organization were no longer important. What counted was each person's achieving salvation by his own free will, by being "born again," or being "baptized in the Holy Spirit." An emotional, vaguely defined pietist, non-creeded, and ecumenical Protestantism was to replace strict creedal or liturgical categories."
Charles Finney became President of Oberlin College in 1851; Lena Dunham graduated from Oberlin in 2008. 150 years of heterodoxy gave birth to unbridaled depravity. If you want to study the enervating effects of pietism, look no further than Oberlin College.

I'm well acquainted with Randall Terry and Jane Roe, as we all are somehow, although they are widely understood to be murky figures from the American fringe. Outcast characters. I've never heard of The Creature From The First Video, Lena Dunham, not being a part of the happening, trendy HBO chic. I see she's an accomplished young woman, nominated for four Emmys on behalf of a sexually charged television series she's cretaed, and a recepient of a $3.5 million book deal for a collection of her various sexual musings. The videos portray the juxtasposition, the first being a slick, high-production affair complete with seemingly the Obama imprimatur, and the second being a lowball affair with a guerilla-type flavor. It may have been shot with a cell phone.

You get the sense, I do anyway, that scales are dropping from eyes big time. When an person changes, achieves a new awareness that resolves conflict and brings relief, it happens more or less instantly, not gradually over time.
I see no reason why cultures are not subject to the same rules of psychic progress as are individuals. Idiots like Dawkins talk about memes, like they actually exist and are not just an abstract, cartoon representation of how things work. All of history and science argue that it is more like a process of downloading something from a higher level of reality to our plane.
Here in America, we refer to such events as great awakenings. Nothing new here, just to say that our intuition about such a thing being underway is looking increasingly justified.
We may be watching as the sky suddenly clears after a long, dreadful storm. More than Obama is collapsing as we speak, whether or not he actually finds a way to defraud his way into another 4 years, perish the thought.
He and his ilk are circling the drain, even though they don't seem to know it. My prediction is that it will be surprisingly soon that abortion will be relegated to the same psychic bin as slavery.
Rebuilding is already underway among those of us who have returned to a rightside up view of reality and cast off the straightjacket of liberalism.
Soon, the real work will begin.

No-one who reads Wretchard's blog is in the target audience for the ObamaSlut advert — though it is unfortunate that people who are the target are allowed to vote. Further evidence of the good sense of Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" idea of limiting the franchise to those (male & female) who have first performed life-endangering duties in the military.
Never having been a teenage girl, I can't predict what the reaction of an 18-year old female would be to a heavily-tatooed woman urging me to do the dirty with the same guy she had 4 years ago — and he was old enough to be her father even then!

I don't care for either ad, although the second one is at least serious, and "Jane Roe's" story is compelling.
The first ad is incredibly stupid. Dunham's (how ironic she has the same last name as Obama's mother) bizarre, disjointed attempt to connect sexuality to voting decisions is . . . . incomprehensible.
The second clip is marred by the presence of Randall Terry, a creepy man of questionable character who has used the abortion issue as his vehicle to "fame," although "notoriety" is more appropriate. That McCovey is connected to this man is not a good sign, and smacks of Cindy Sheehan-like exploitation.

And the second difference? He wouldn't sue, call the cops, or whine to his friends about the "bully" who laid him out. No, he'd be a man, and knowing full well that he violated every norm his father taught him, he would be truly humiliated. He probably wouldn't ever mention it to anyone else either, out of pure embarrassment.
His final thought? He was lucky his Dad wasn't alive, because if he'd have done that in from of him…well, he knows one punch wouldn't have been enough for his Dad. Not to mention that look of disrespect from his father; knowing he'd just regressed to age 10, notwithstanding that he was now, supposedly, an adult.

The Dunham ad will be wildly popular among a certain urban, SWPL cohort of hipsters and scenesters. It's probably getting plastered across thousands of Facebook pages as we speak.
But 90% of the people that find it cool are centered in major Blue State urban centers. Just like the gay population, their votes will add to the totals in states Obama is going to carry easily anyway. So the net impact of the ad is basically nil.
I will note that while I find the ad idiotic (and also smack-dab in Whiskey's wheelhouse, as it's all about status, status, status and HATE HATE HATE for the boring white guy), Ms. Dunham is a talented film maker and I enjoy her work. But then, I surrendered in the culture wars a long time ago and don't let the viler aspects of what she does bother me all that much any more.

Also, there would be no early voting. Early voting isn't just an issue for this election year because it favors Obama, but it is also a tool for further entrenching incumbents. I would love to hear what Leo Leinbeck III has to say about early voting, especially in regard to incumbency.

Sadly, even knowing Romney seems to be on a Landslide victory the foreboding of a 0bama squeaker (win) hangs in the air, the fact is everyone wants to be with the "Popular/Cool" kids (classic example is Hollywood and Music stars and their vast fan base), nobody wants to face (grim) reality so the majority (Sound bite Zombies/Honey boo boo's) will follow the "Good Time(s)" pied piper… Government takers ARE out numbering the Producers, Romney's win lie's solely with the vast majority of the Takers not going to the polls but with absentee and early voting available it is becoming more and more likely their vote is cast (Not to mention the obvious Demoncrat Party members willingness to cast fraudulent and numerous votes). I personally want Romney to win but if that happens I see little change in D.C. or the Enormous Federal Government changing much from now! 0bamas win is an acceleration to Socialist/Communism and the bigger chance of Armed Civil unrest, while Romney only changes the speed to Socialism while keeping Armed Civil unrest to a much small chance… We are already a little "s" socialist country.

"If we were completely rational, the voting age in today's infantilized society would be raised to 25."
And we would have amended Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution to read:
No person except a citizen born of two citizen parents (natural born) shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of fifty years, and been twenty-five years a resident within the United States.
No more Presidents under the age of fifty. All of the forty-something year old Presidents with the exception of TR have been disasters in one form or another (though some would TR in this group too). None more than our current one.

Charles Finney became President of Oberlin College in 1851; Lena Dunham graduated from Oberlin in 2008. 150 years of heterodoxy gave birth to unbridaled depravity. If you want to study the enervating effects of pietism, look no further than Oberlin College.
I went to Baldwin-Wallace in the late 60′s – Oberlin was "just down the road". Oberlin was considered then to be uber liberal and teeming with anti-war types. Not ironically, they were never known for their football teams.
BW was a Methodist school, and students from the "sophisticated" eastern seaboard were always complaining that they had to walk 200 yards into town to drink. At one point back then, Playboy listed BW as one of the top X of small college party schools in the nation. It was certainly news to me when i heard it. Back then it was a badge of shame…today it probably would be celebrated.
When they started contacting alumna for donations, I registered with my final military rank in the database. Undaunted, they keep sending me requests for donations. They don't understand that me giving to the school – any school of "higher education" today, would be like donating to the Communist Party.
The old cliché of the first person able to engage fish in conversation asks the fish, "How do you like the water?" The fish replies, "What's water?"
Reminds me of social conversation with pathological libs. "But do you military types really have to kill so many people?"
"I never killed anyone while I was in the service."
"Oh, you're one of the good ones then."
Or the sniper interview by the press: "What do you feel then when you have to take another person's life?"
We are so far apart in this country…we are going to have to learn the hard way. Getting back to basics will hurt. Ignoring the reality that to be America we have to get back to basics, will kill.
Matthew 21-22 – "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved."NIV – Matthew 10:34 – "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
I have already personally experienced a deep schism between myself and a beloved daughter. The second video represents but a starting point in that separation.

Something from my favorite ex-SEAL author:
Matt Bracken 10-25-2012
The biggest stench from the Benghazi fiasco is that it is beginning to smell like Obama went "nighty-night" to rest up for Las Vegas, instead of manning up in the Situation Room and seeing the crisis through and (had he only been awake) ordering a rescue mission.
In Benghazi, after 6-8 hours enduring a few "Fort Apaches," with running street battles in … between, (like a mini Blackhawk Down), the living Americans must have been thinking, "Any minute now, here come the helicopters! Just hang on!"
But they didn't. So even though Delta had forward staged to Sigonella Sicily (rumint) from base in Germany, nobody was willing or able to pull the trigger and send a rescue force. Or even a few F-18 supersonic flybys, to bust windows and warn, "Here comes American airpower, and you camel jockeys know what that means." Just as a morale booster it would have helped the besieged staffers.
But it was never sent, not even a lousy supersonic low-level flyby. One hour from bases in Italy, max."Read the whole article – it's worth it. For those without military experience, Matt's phrasing is in the DNA of those that served and still "miss it every day."
Glad to see he mentioned supersonic fly-bys. I haven't lost all of my tactical sense…yet. Heck, all anyone had to do is put smoke or flares all around the annex and told the aviators – "anywhere but inside this circle." Hell's fire, the bombs dropped or the 30 mm wouldn't even have to hit anyone to "make it stop."
But even more importantly is the message the President sent lound-and-clear: "Forget that nonsense about not leaving our guys behind – there's a new SOP. Get used to it, follow it, or get courts martialed – your choice."
Matt's bottom line: Only the President can authorize cross border incursions and he chose to answer that "3AM call" with a busy signal.

Looks like something like 20% of the blacks vote this time will actually go to Romney. http://www.coachisright.com/obama-is-bleeding-african-american-support-whether-anyone-wants-to-believe-it-or-not/
that has to mean also that a still larger number of black simply won't vote.

#47 Josh: The C-130 article was a little unclear on a gunship being overhead until they wrote about someone on the ground lasing the bad guys. Haji in Afghanistan has learned how to use smart phone cameras to find active lasing devices and if they can see you, they can kill you, which they have done in 'Stan. The thought of a second gunship in country minutes away make this all the more infuriating.
Kind of reminds me stories floating around the FAC community of the seizure of the Mayaguez in 1975 where the FACs on scene had "radio difficulties" that kept them from getting permission to work the target ( during part of the festivities they put the ordinance on target and didn't ask permission). Damn shame the comm back to NCA in Libya was so good for the Spec Ops guys overhead. Cheers -

"20% of the blacks vote this time will actually go to Romney"
They must be awefully desparate to vote for Romney. Culturally there is a lot of pressure to go with Obama. But desparate times leaves one with desparate choices. This isn't a beauty contest after all. Obama=Oreo with more cream filling than cookie crust.

Stirpiculture: Influenced by Darwin and the eugenics that were the cornerstone of every non-Shaker utopian or perfectionist cult, John Noyes organized the Oneida colony around orderly and scientific procreation managed by him and enforced by nightly group criticism sessions that anticipated Maoism by a century (Shakers enforced a sort of cultural eugenics by refusing to procreate at all).
Stirpicult pregnancies were followed by strict separation of mother and child after birth so that the children would not bond with their biological mothers but know themselves only as part of the collective. See also, Dr. Zhivago.
You can go to upstate New York and see the room where mothers were allowed brief, emotional visits with their infants. Occurring as this did around the rise of sentimental motherhood, Stirpicult rules weakened the Oneida colony from within and increased hostility by outsiders.
The first unifying principle of most of these socialist experiments was to terminate marriage and individual family life. Not surprisingly, women were often those who opposed the dissolution of these ties.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Marriage is the opposite of socialism. Christianity too, because of the counterbalance of family to community of man.
Happily, and probably thanks to the brief existence of the practice, many of the Stirpicults (children) maintained strong bonds with each other and loyalty to the colony itself. Once the pernicious influence of Noyes had fled (literally, and as is usual in these things, out a back stairwell), Oneida continued as a community bonded together by a common experience and common efforts — part of a great untold story of how certain cultural virtues — work ethic, ingenuity, property ownership, faith, family — transformed 19th century utopian socialist colony experiments into communities with traditions of voluntary assistance.
In the case of Oneida, Stirpicults (they called themselves that) came home after seeing the world and cared for their elders by creating a business and town in which they continued sharing everything — but returned to traditional families. There are still descendants living in the small apartments in the original mansion.
Oh, and the most prominent feminists back then were pro-life. They considered abortion a way for men to exploit unprotected women. It's more complicated than that, but it is also a conclusion that would not be out of place today, though women must add self-exploitation to the list. Susan B. Anthony would be deeply dismayed today.

Step 1 – Sizing your images! The first thing you need to do is check the width size of your sidebars in your HTML codes. Now when you decide to put an image or an ad up you'll know not to try to cram one in that's larger than your sidebar width. For Blogger users you will go to your advanced settings and check the width size there. For WordPress users it's going to depend on what theme your using. Okay, so what happens when you really want to put that ad or image up and it's larger than your side bar? Well that's where the code displayed in blue below comes into play! The code in red is our regular basic image code for any picture. Adding the blue code towards the end of the red code will allow you to change the size of your image to what ever you need! Code 3 below shows you how your code should look. Now you can change the width and height to what ever you want!
1. width="100″ height="100″
2.
3.
Step 2 – Aligning your images! – Now that we got that out of the way it's time to choose what alignment you want for your images. If one image is centered then the others have to be too! It's a blogger rule! Okay, it's really not but seriously it's super gross if one image is centered and then the other image is cram to the left. There are many codes for this but lets just start simple and center the images on your sidebars. It's takes two simple codes to fix this problem. Again, some may know this but many of us just don't! Automatically your images will always be aligned to the left. So, let's start with the red basic image code again. Surrounding the two blue codes around your regular image code (red code below) will center your image! Code 3 below shows you how your code should look. Done!
1.

TUAW video tip: Creating Contacts groups on a PC
Mac users have been able to create groups in Contacts (formerly Address Book) for years. It's a wonderful way to group together various contacts so that you can send an email or message to all the parties in question by addressing it to the group instead of the individuals. There's one little issue with the Contacts app in iOS, however -- you can't create groups on your iPhone or iPad.
While this is not a problem for Mac owners, who can just launch Contacts on their Macs to create a group to be synced through iCloud to their iOS devices, it would seem to be a real issue for Windows or Linux users who also own iOS devices, since there is no native Apple/iCloud Contacts app for those platforms.
Actually, there's an easy solution -- using the iCloud.com Contacts app from any desktop or laptop web browser, since it (like the Mac app) provides a way to create groups. We'll show you how in the video below, so you can put together that "Christmas Cards" group in time for the holidays next year.

The vast majority of my guild's experience gains have been through 5 mans (normal and heroic) and people doing their dailies. We're at level 11 right now, about to hit 12. Even Paragon (who just took the world first heroic Sinestra kill, in case you're out of the loop) is only a level 12 guild. It looks to me like every guild who puts in the effort, whether through raiding, running 5-mans, or just doing dailies can level their guild at almost the same rate. There's certainly no super secret fast track for hardcore raiders.

Another vote for the Magic Kingdom.

Another vote for the Magic Kingdom.
If I only had one day to visit any of the theme parks, it would have to be the Magic Kingdom. Classic Disney.
Gotta give my vote to the Magic Kingdom. I almost feel like it's a cliche to do so, but it's still my favorite
This was a real tough decision, i love all the parks. But, i selected DHS, closely followed by the MK, then AK, and lastly E. i chose DHS because i love movies, and i find the whole movie making process magical. I also think movies and cartoons is the backbone of Disney. Plus, DHS has some of my fav. rides, RRC, TOT
This one is tough obviously. For me, least favorite is much much easier. Hollywood Studios
I voted for MK. I have my tea beside me in the black & white Main St mug. Walt & Main St are in black & white - only Mickey is in color. Every time I'm on Main st I can picture Walt standing there too. It's definitely my favorite.:)
It's really hard to pick mt favorite, but I had to go with MK. It was the first Disney park I ever went to, 2 of my all-time favorite rides are there (PotC & HM), and I can't go to WDW without going there. Although I hold the other parks near and dear to my heart-- after all, my favorite restaurant in all of WDW is at Epcot (Garden Grill) and ToT, RnRC & EE are all favorites too--MK is where all my Disney memories began.
#1: :mk: ...& in no particular order: :epcot::mgm::AK:
Ok, that was hard. I love MK as it was the first park I visited in 1980 with my mom & aunt. Every time I enter MK I feel all chocked up inside & it brings back such memories. Don't get me wrong I love the rest of the parks too they are all so different.
Now each park has its own great things and high points. However the main plans for the Florida Project was in fact EPCOT.
That fact and the simple Idea of all the cultures in one big area makes me happy :-)
I've got to vote for Animal Kingdom, simply because of the massive detail. Everywhere you look there is something new to catch your attention.
Even though I do love all the parks, Magic Kingdom gets my number one vote, followed by Animal Kingdom and it always goes back and forth between the other two.
I love Hollywood Studios just because of the Tower of Terror and Rock n Rollercoaster. However, I voted for the Magic Kingdom. Overall, it is the best Disney Theme Park. Actually, it is the best theme park period.
While I adore Epcot and all it's wonders, I have to go with the Magic Kingdom. It just represents everything good and true about Disney.
It has to be the Magic Kingdom, I just love walking through that tunnel and seeing the Castle..........sorry.....Kerry's house :grin:
As of my last trip, my favvorite park is DHS. I loved the Osborne Lights, and i can go on ToT over and over. :)

A word to Mac users:
These kits are not designed with you in mind. Parallax does offer a Mac software download on their website, but you will need to buy a USB-to-serial adapter to connect your Boe-Bot to your computer (Parallax recommends the US232B/LC from Future Technology Devices International). Lego, alas, doesnt have any Mac-compatible retail software, although their educational division has a Mac Mindstorms product. If you switched recently and still have that dusty PC sitting in the back of your closet, though, youre golden.Parallax Boe-Bot: available at RadioShack and at Parallax: $199. Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2.0: available at Lego Mindstorms, $199. Hobby Engineering: working on price, Ill let you know PICO Cricket: available at Playful Inventions, price TBA. VEX Robotics Design System: available at Vex Robotics and at RadioShack, $299.
