Medea Revenge Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Nurse: [Medea] hates her sons […] I dread to think of what is hatching in her mind. (1)
Euripides doesn't shy away from some pretty obvious foreshadowing here. Medea's path of revenge is pretty clear even from the opening moments of the play. Of course, the Athenian audience the play was written for would've already know the Medea myth quite well.
Medea: Oh, what misery! […] Cursed sons, and a mother for cursing! Death take you all – you and your father […]
Nurse: Why make the sons share in their father's guilt? (20-21)
The Nurse points out the irrationality of Medea's rage. This lady is so out of control that she plots to annihilate all products of she and Jason's union. The boys' innocence is no defense against the irate Medea
Medea: [Creon] lets me stay one extra day, to make three enemies corpses:
ha! father, daughter, and my husband. (57)
There's an incongruity here. Medea does end up killing Creon and his daughter, but doesn't make any attempt to kill Jason. Also, she makes no mention here that she plans to kill her sons. It's unclear if she just changes her mind somewhere along the way, or if she's lying about her exact plans. Of course, it could also be sloppy plot-making on the part of Euripides.

I know it's a bit early in the season to ask about transplanting trees into the ground, but it's better to get this out there now. I have a citron in a pot of 5-1-1 that's been doing okay for the last eight months or so. It periodically loses a quarter of its leaves every few months for no obvious reason, but did have a good growth spurt in the summer. However, it's getting too big for the container and I'd like to put it into the ground, which is heavy gumbo here in Houston. How should the pine fines be separated from the root system to prevent differences between the current and future soil when watering, and also to make the transition as smooth as possible? (Citron is like citrus in its care.) |

Hello! It should be incredibly easy to bare-root the citron and then plant it in the ground. If the area tends to be dry in summer, a berm around the drip-line would also be advised.

Also - correct any circling, girdling, j-hooked, roots, and those roots growing back toward the center of the root mass at planting time ....... and make sure all the roots remain moist at transplant time. It only takes a few minutes for the finest and all-important (as water/nutrient gatherers) to die from dessication. Al |

Kristyn Sheets, the agricultural education and FFA teacher at Magnet Cove, is teaching more than farming and ranching. Sheets is teaching self-sufficiency and community service.
"Hunger doesn't take the summer off so neither are members from the Magnet Cove FFA Chapter," said Sheets.

Albert (BoBo) Jasper Wallace, 67, of Malvern passed away on July 16, 2013 at HSC Medical Center.
When the oppressive heat of summer hits, the last thing you want to do is be out in the weather exerting yourself.
But with football camps, I see it from another perspective. After being deprived of the sport for six months, I will take any football I can get.
I feel for the players out on the field, I really do. I couldn't imagine putting on all the gear they have to wear as they run in full-speed contact drills.

BERKELEY -- Cal's football season continues to head down a deep, dark hole to oblivion.
A return to Memorial Stadium didn't help the Golden Bears, who lost 27-17 to Arizona State before 51,634 fans, dropping to 1-4 for the first time in coach Jeff Tedford's 11 seasons.
No Cal team has recovered from a 1-4 start to play in a bowl game.
The Bears (1-4, 0-2 in Pac-12) lost for the third straight game after consecutive road defeats to Top-25 opponents Ohio State and USC.
Cal battled within 20-17 when Nick Forbes blocked an ASU field goal try with 11:27 left, then Keenan Allen caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Zach Maynard with 9:33 left.
But ASU (4-1, 2-0) answered with a 74-yard scoring drive, pushing the lead back to 10 points when Taylor Kelly delivered a 22-yard TD pass to Kevin Ozier with 6:17 left.
Cal had beaten the Sun Devils four straight times and had not lost to ASU at home since 1997. Now the Bears must win five of their final seven games to become bowl eligible.
Kelly, a sophomore who won the starting job in fall camp, finished with 292 passing yards and three touchdowns.
Cal's Maynard was just 9 for 28 for 126 yards and was 0 for 6 after the TD pass to Allen to got the Bears within three points. He also was sacked six times, pushing his total fo 19 over the past three games.
Isi Sofele rushed for 105 yards and C.J. Anderson had 78 yards. But sophomore Brendan Bigelow -- who ran for 191 yards on just eight attempts vs. Ohio State and USC -- did not carry the ball.
The teams traded field goals in the third quarter, Alex Garoutte delivering from 39 yards for ASU, then Vincenzo D'Amato hitting from 35 yards for the Bears. That sent the Sun Devils into the final quarter up 20-10.
ASU led 17-7 at halftime after a fumble by Sofele set up a 37-yard scoring drive in the final 2:31 of the second quarter. Kelly's 9-yard TD pass to Ozier pushed the Sun Devils' lead to 10 points with 53 seconds left in the half.
The Bears also hurt themselves with seven penalties for 80 yards in the first half. ASU, which entered the game sharing the NCAA lead in tackles for loss, had six more, including three sacks.
The Sun Devils struck first when Kelly threw 1 yard to tight end Darwin Rogers with 7:11 left in the first quarter.
Cal answered when Sofele dashed 24 yards up the middle for a TD with 13:06 left in the second quarter. A 44-yard pass play to Allen helped set up the score.
Garoutte put ASU back in front by making a 28-yard field goal with 4:28 left in the first half.

Cryopreservation of embryos is the process of preserving an embryo at sub-zero temperatures, generally at an embryogenesis stage corresponding to pre-implantation, that is, from fertilisation to the blastocyst stage.
Embryo cryopreservation is useful for leftover embryos after a cycle of in vitro fertilisation, as patients who fail to conceive may become pregnant using such embryos without having to go through a full IVF cycle. Or, if pregnancy occurred, they could return later for another pregnancy. Spare oocytes or embryos resulting from fertility treatments may be used for oocyte donation or embryo donation to another woman or couple, and embryos may be created, frozen and stored specifically for transfer and donation by using donor eggs and sperm.
Embryo cryopreservation is generally performed as a component of in vitro fertilization (which generally also includes ovarian hyperstimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer). The ovarian hyperstimulation is preferably done by using a GnRH agonist rather than human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) for final oocyte maturation, since it decreases the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome with no evidence of a difference in live birth rate (in contrast to fresh cycles where usage of GnRH agonist has a lower live birth rate). [1]
The main techniques used for embryo cryopreservation are vitrification versus slow programmable freezing (SPF). Studies indicate that vitrification is superior or equal to SPF in terms of survival and implantation rates.[2]
World usage data is hard to come by but it was reported in a study of 23 countries that almost 42,000 frozen human embryo transfers were performed during 2001 in Europe.[3]
Pregnancy outcome and determinants[edit]
In current state of the art, early embryos having undergone cryopreservation implant at the same rate as equivalent fresh counterparts.[2] The outcome from using cryopreserved embryos has uniformly been positive with no increase in birth defects or development abnormalities,[4] also between fresh versus frozen eggs used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).[5] In fact, pregnancy rates are increased following frozen embryo transfer, and perinatal outcomes are less affected, compared to embryo transfer in the same cycle as ovarian hyperstimulation was performed.[6] The endometrium is believed to not be optimally prepared for implantation following ovarian hyperstimulation, and therefore frozen embryo transfer avails for a separate cycle to focus on optimizing the chances of successful implantation.[6] Children born from vitrified blastocysts have significantly higher birthweight than those born from non-frozen blastocysts.[7] For early cleavage embryos, frozen ones appear to have at least as good obstetric outcome, measured as preterm birth and low birthweight for children born after cryopreservation as compared with children born after fresh cycles.[5]
Oocyte age, survival proportion, and number of transferred embryos are predictors of pregnancy outcome.[8]
Pregnancies have been reported from embryos stored for 16 years.[9] A study of more than 11,000 cryopreserved human embryos showed no significant effect of storage time on post-thaw survival for IVF or oocyte donation cycles, or for embryos frozen at the pronuclear or cleavage stages.[8] In addition, the duration of storage had no significant effect on clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, implantation, or live birth rate, whether from IVF or oocyte donation cycles.[8]
A study in France between 1999 and 2011 came to the result that embryo freezing before administration of gonadotoxic chemotherapy agents to females caused a delay of treatment in 34% of cases, and a live birth in 27% of surviving cases who wanted to become pregnant, with the follow-up time varying between 1 and 13 years.[10]
From October 1, 2009 human embryos are allowed to be stored for 10 years in the UK, according to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008.[11]
The first ever pregnancy derived from a frozen human embryo was reported by Alan Trounson & Linda Mohr in 1983 (although the fetus aborted spontaneously at about 20 weeks of gestation); the first term pregnancy derived from a frozen embryo was born in 1984.[12] Since then and up to 2008 it is estimated that between 350,000 and half a million IVF babies have been born from embryos frozen at a controlled rate and then stored in liquid nitrogen; additionally a few hundred births have been born from vitrified oocytes but firm figures are hard to come by. It may be noted that Subash Mukhopadyay from Kolkata, India reported the successful cryopreservation of an eight cell embryo, storing it for 53 days, thawing and replacing it into the mother's womb, resulting in a successful and live birth as early as 1978- a full five years before Trounson and Mohr had done so. A small publication of Mukherjee in 1978 clearly shows that Mukherjee was on the right line of thinking much before anyone else had demonstrated the successful outcome of a pregnancy following the transfer of a 8-cell frozen-thawed embryo into human subjects transferring 8-cell cryopreserved embryos."

SAN FRANCISCO - September 23, 2008 –TRUSTe, the leading trustmark and recognized authority on privacy best practices on the Internet, today announced the termination of one of its sealholders, Classic Closeouts LLC, an action that included the successful resolution of hundreds of online complaints.
To date, TRUSTe has helped over 200 consumers who were affected. TRUSTe is working to resolve the issues by managing and handling consumer complaints, and in some cases, helping to obtain refunds from irregular charges that were incurred on the Classic Closeouts Website. In addition, by revoking its privacy seal, TRUSTe could keep hundreds of thousands of additional consumers that were on the Classic Closeouts mailing list from experiencing unauthorized credit card charges.
"TRUSTe is committed to ensuring protection for consumers online by making sure our sealholders comply with strict standards for online trust, and revoking seals for those who are not willing to comply," said Fran Maier, CEO of TRUSTe. "Web threats are constant and evolving, so we take consumer complaints seriously and respond quickly when instances such as this occur."
Classic Closeouts, an online shopping forum, sent an offer letter to a large number of its past customers, encouraging them to enroll in a promotion program. TRUSTe received Watchdog complaints regarding unauthorized charges from 238 consumers who reported that they were charged without authorization. When subscribers complained, the company neglected to issue reimbursements in a timely manner.
TRUSTe promptly suspended Classic Closeouts' authorization to use the TRUSTe privacy seal. In addition, TRUSTe worked rapidly to ensure that Classic Closeouts refunded the charges in question and resolved any other privacy complaints. As a TRUSTe sealholder, the company failed to comply with various program requirements and did not execute reasonable security measures. Upon suspension, Classic Closeouts did not meet obligations to reinstate its sealholder status.
Sealholder termination occurs only after TRUSTe outlines steps necessary for the licensee to remedy violations and such steps are refused. To execute TRUSTe's mission to build online trust, TRUSTe educates Website operators to meet best practices in the industry for the collection and use of consumer information. In this case, Classic Closeouts met a portion of the company's obligations to remedy problems found with their practices, but did not address all requirements.
With valid privacy complaints on the rise – complaints to TRUSTe have increased 40 percent from last year, most likely a result of increasing consumer awareness and concern for online privacy - TRUSTe's recent monitoring and protection efforts have taken steps to meet consumer demand for increased protection online. TRUSTe certifies and monitors over 2,400 websites, protecting over 240 million consumers per month. In 2007, TRUSTe responded to over 6,000 Watchdog complaints filed by consumers; so far this year, TRUSTe has responded to nearly 5,000 complaints of the same kind.
Even as threat levels rise, customer service personnel at most companies are often inadequately trained to detect privacy, security or data breach issues. With the help of TRUSTe's automated monitoring systems that scour web pages for privacy breaches, companies can get better results faster in order to protect consumers. Just this year, TRUSTe has helped licensees identify over 23 technical security vulnerabilities via both scanning and Watchdog processes.
TRUSTe operates the largest privacy certification, monitoring and dispute resolution program in the world, monitoring and validating privacy practices on 2,400 Websites, including many of the most heavily trafficked, such as Disney, NFL, HP, eBay & PayPal, Microsoft, Apple, Boy Scouts of America, Hasbro, EA and the New York Times, protecting more than 240 million consumers per month.
About TRUSTe
TRUSTe is the leading global Data Privacy Management (DPM) company and powers trust in the data economy by enabling businesses to safely collect and use customer data across their customer, employee, and vendor channels.

Nikki Kule
When Preston and I started thinking about KIC, we knew we wanted to profile women–our friends, who have not only have great style, but also lead rich, interesting lives. Nikki Kule, mother and talented children's clothing designer, has got it all in spades. (I met Nikki a few years ago through a mutual friend when she had her own children's clothing line, Kule, which sadly is no more.)
Tall, lanky, sooooo nice and laid back, tomboyish, bohemian Upper East Side mother of two, Nikki could care less about trends and she is not one to pile stuff on. Which means when she is wearing her old army green Michael Kors jacket (Michael is, naturally, her major designer of choice) and Marc by Marc Jacobs red jeans with a Michael Kors lucite cuff from this spring (see first pic), she makes basic look anything but. She makes me want to exacto knife my wardrobe down to its bare bones.
Great news is she is about to unleash her exacting eye with the launch of Brooks Brothers kids. They must love her a lot over there at BB, because this July they are launching a separate 48 page catalog and free-standing children's stores are in the works. (Sorry no sneak previews–but we will let you know when it is out.)
I spent the morning at her apartment (eclectic and elegant) chatting about various topics.
What is your favorite style period? The 70′s because it's my childhood and I have fond memories of wearing Lacoste, Fila, Merona Sport, and Fiorucci jeans.
Women whose style inspires you. My mom because when she finds something she likes she buys in multiples. Right now I am into Alexa Chung. She really can rock the nautical preppy tomboy look like no one else.
You can never have too many….Striped t-shirts.
Style mantra: Never leave the house in sweatpants. You never know when you're going to run into George Clooney.
I don't get….Platform 5″ heels.
My favorite color combo right now is…. Red and olive green because they are unexpected.
On my bed stand: The Raw Food Diet and back issues of WWD.
Jewelry: Ethnic and tribal pieces because I really love raw materials like leather, horn, and wood. I don't like costume jewelry.
I can't get through a day without….a piece of chocolate.
A week without….a run in Central Park.
A month without…..Being with my friends Lance [ LePere] and Michael [Kors]. I can get serious withdrawal not seeing them.
Children's clothes should………not be black.
Being a mom means…….having a child in my bed every night.
A perfect day is……..today!

Cataract surgery is one of the most safest and common surgeries in the world. More than 3 million cataract surgeries are performed every year in the United States. Cataract surgery is one of the safest surgeries in the world. More than 3 million cataract surgeries are performed every year in the United States. More than 60% of Americans over 65 have developed cataracts in one or both eyes. Cataracts are like wrinkles, everyone who lives long enough will develop them. Over 90% of cataracts are caused by the aging process. Most people, usually beginning in their fifties, start to experience blurred vision even if they have had great vision their whole lives. Glasses that usually work well become unsatisfactory. Cataracts are the one of the leading causes of treatable blindness, creating vision cloudiness. They can also be caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, smoking, trauma to the eye or as the secondary effects of diseases such as diabetes. In all areas of cataract surgery, specifically using intraocular lenses (IOLs) to replace the eye's natural lens is an important decision. At North Shore Eye Care offer many different lens options including Crystalens, Restor, Technis and Toric IOL.
Here at North Shore Eye Care we pride ourselves in providing the best ophthalmology care for all our patients. Dr Sidney Martin began this tradition over 40 years ago and it still continues today. Today, North Shore Eye Care is a modern eye care practice that specializes in advanced cataract surgery and laser vision correction. Technology has revolutionized cataract surgery making it a safer, more successful surgery. Dr. Lawrence Zweibel, Dr. Jeffrey Martin and Dr. John Mauro all use state of the art cataract surgery and laser vision correction procedures. In cataract surgery, the cloudy lens of the eye or cataract is removed using phacoemulsification or computer controlled high speed ultrasound through a small incision that seals without stitches. No eye patch is necessary in most cases and needles around the eye are also not necessary. Our patients return home the very same day and experience no pain in most cases. Our board certified eye doctors and eye surgeons, Dr. Zweibel, Dr. Martin, and Dr. Mauro all specialize in intraocular implant technology including accommodating lenses like the Crystalens and the Crystalens HD. We also use multifocal implants like the Restor and the Tecnis multifocal lens. The Acrysof Toric implant reduces or eliminates astigmatism in most cases and our patients with these premium implants are able to see well without the need of glasses or contact lenses.

If You Tweet, Tweet Swagbucks
by TSG on Mon, January 25th, 2010 at 8:00 am
By now you're probably aware that TSG rewards users sporadically for tweeting about Swagbucks.
TSG scours the Twitterverse for #swagbucks tweets. Sometimes he rewards their tweeters, sometimes not. But if it's as easy as adding that on the end and you're already talking about Swagbucks anyway, why wouldn't you do it? It wouldn't make sense not to.
During our Friendship Circle push for Chase Community Giving's contest, TSG rewarded users for their #votefc tweets. So there's plenty of opportunities that come up for you to earn Swag Bucks through Twitter.
Remember, TSG does this randomly and not in any routine sort of way. But, you may just get lucky and catch TSG's eye with your #swagbucks tweet.
How sweet that'd be for you…

Just perfection taking shape. Love the big slab rock in the last pic, great colour and texture. And the Euro-lollipop standards, I'm moving towards these as space becomes an issue. |

Looks amazing!Did you have any help in creating that at all? I wish I had the time and energy to put into creating part of my yard as a rock garden. |
Quite the project! Mike |
Incredible amount of work there. The end result should be fantastic. Cher |

My back hurts looking at all that work. Very nice workmanship. Do you think that fabric under the stones will hurt the plants long term? Soil tends to go sterile under it. tj |

Holy moly! When I clicked on this thread I expected to see someone's nice arrangement out by their curb or something. I was totally unprepared for this extravaganza. That is amazing! I love seeing the progress through the photos. And you have chickens! I am so jealous. I want chickens. Angela |
I love the chickens too! Amazing project, I can't wait to see how it progresses!~ Robyn |

Fantasic project, Henk! All looks beautiful. I like your chickens, too. I had cocks, hens, chicken over 20 years. But last year the female fox took all for the juveniles. But after August I will get new ones. And here I must take more care ( not in the night; all day long). Wolfgang |
- Posted by angelajgood 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 12 at 9:08
I've wanted chickens for years, but everyone thought I was crazy, especially my husband. Now there is a huge interest and a lot of people have them here in the city. A local garden center has several that cluck around on their property, and they recently did a seminar on how to raise them in your back yard. I have a french bulldog with a VERY strong prey drive. No chickens for me anytime soon. Angela |

Henk it looks fantastic! I can't get over the amount of work something like that would take. I agree with Ken though, you have to be considered a rock collector too. You sure have some beautiful ones there, as well as plants. Thanks for the follow up. Cher |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 8:44
Henk, I like it a lot. When the plants grow up to and against the rocks and over the rocks, it will be all that much, the better. You've done an amazing job. Years forward you will be one of the happiest man that lives. Congratulations. Dax |
Awesome project. Where did you get all the plants? |
Wow! That is a sight to behold. Thanks for the tour. |
When you see this in person it is GREAT. So much work, and a beautiful display of plants |
I'm curious as to where you got the rocks. I wouldn't think they are easy to get near you. Nice display garden! I applaud all the work it took. Mike |

Announcement at Epcot....
Another 24 hour day. May 24th 6 am to May 25th, with the Monstrous theme.
Think with all the Monstrous themes of the day, tomorrow announce should be a a Monster University RollerCoaster.
I can have pipe dreams.
And if the date sounds familiar???
It is SeaWorlds Grand Opening of Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin.
So let the games begin! First SeaWorld makes an announcement, the Universal announces their $1 Billion dollar investment in USH, Disney announces Monstrous Summer activities and another 24 hour day. Hope Disney has something to trump Universal's $1 Billion Hollywood and additional $500 million in Orlando during Disney's press conference tomorrow. It can only be a win win for guests at the parks if they start topping one another.
Theme Park Insiders:
If you were in Orlando on May 24, which park would you visit?
SeaWorld, for Antarctica:
The Magic Kingdom, for the 24-hour party:
None. I don't do theme parks on holiday weekends:
Another park, hoping the crowds go to the Magic Kingdom and SeaWorld instead:
I'm loving the #battleofthethemeparks the last few days. Monsters additions are overall pretty good, still not seeing my wish, a Monsters Coaster at DHS. That would have been fun attraction to add into the #battleofthethemeparks.
Maybe they'll update the opening of Transformers to that day...
Total underwhelmed with the announcements. Even the 24-hour day announcement, done at Epcot, had nothing to do with Epcot - it was just where they could project a giant Mike Wasowski...it was a lot of wow for what was just another Limited Time Magic announcement...
And no new DCL ships, just a heavy refurb of the Magic.
Oh, and Avatarland is still in the works. Still not started either.
I just found it odd that the greatest theme park on Earth somehow wound up buried somewhere in the 14%.
Only in the ultra-narcissistic internet age of MORE, MORE, MORE!!!
Don't know who I blame more. Disney for feeding it, or the so called fans of WDW for pouting because they didn't get as much as they wanted.
and a few days later........
If you were in Orlando on May 24, which park would you visit?

It's all the pomp they are putting in to these announcements that are more suitable for a blog post.
Disney fans, probably more than any other group of fans, like to know what's in the future. It makes them feel more of a part of it.
Disney, for its part, has made several missteps in the past by actually announcing future plans - and then abandoned them.
I wonder if these announcements are the counter to that...give them something, but don't give them anything they could mess up later...
(yet they keep stringing along Avatarland...still in the "vaporland" category...)
And that's where the adult in everyone needs to kick in. Announced plans and then changed their minds?
Oh, the horror!
As for Avatar, they're spending a pretty hefty wad-o-jack to build the new digs for The Lion King. They're preparing that area for something.
Ask and you shall receive: The Pygmy Post: Another 24 hour workday, Disney?
Employees have a life?
Nice argument.
Good one Pygie! My DS started at dawn, nearly worked a double, when in for a few hours, out to breakfast and right back to work. It was a rough 40 hours for a lot of them until they were off the clock the next day. Guests came in waves, at points wasn't crowded, but when Epcot closed it backed up the monorail and ferry unbelievably because a huge amount of guests transferred from Epcot to the MK for the duration of the night and a chunk were a tipsy crowd. I guess the custodial group got a work out on the protein spills.
Disney was not anticipating the crowd they had and there was long, mandatory overtime on top of the scheduled CM shifts. Only the bakery was open at dawn and the lines backed up to town square for breakfast foods and coffee for those who were there for the entire 24 hour experience. There was the same problem as they took attractions off line as the night hours went on and restaurants closed to only a few causing huge lines. That left guests determined to see the sun come up on benches and available tables at closed CS venues with outside seating. They quickly sold out of most 24 merchandise, I ordered my DS online during the day and it took over six weeks for it to come, though my account was debited immediately, which isn't how that normally happens for backordered merchandise, CM discount didn't work on that order either. Disney quickly decided to do it all again.
Checkmate to Sea World wont stop the fans wanting to see Sea World debut. Most likely AP holders and FL peeps so they'll go to Sea World likely during the day, nap, go to Disney after Midnight. Disney this time will have more attractions open, more CMs scheduled and far more food available. They learned in CA, 2 parks needed with all their loyal AP holders.
All and all you are right, a lot of hype, it brings out lots of guests in a slower time, sells a great deal of everything and only costs Disney CMs salaries and a quick turn to get the MK cleaned up and ready by 9am the next morning. Wonder if the Crystal Palace will be open for breakfast that morning?

I don't see this as such a bad thing. The Republican Party as it currently stands is not truly representing Conservative values any longer. I think that alll politics at the federal level are too corrupt for redemption.
How about a 3 party system. The Democrats, The Republicans, and the TEA Party?
Democrats for the more liberals, the Republicans for the more centrist moderates, and the TEA Party for the Right-Wing Crazies! -
Blue dogs?
I've been saying that for a long time. If they are so powerful and popular let them run on their own! Let them have their own primaries, their own campaigns, their own finances. They are like leeches on the body of the GOP, draining the blood and giving it infections. The idea of "Big Tent" has led to the inclusion of people who want to burn down the tent just to see it burn. Crazy!
The problem is the neo-tea'ers have no problem with burning the village down to save it.
I voted for Reagan, & Bush Sr. for president.
I voted for John Warner and several other Virginia Republicans running for Senate and Congress as well as some who ran for Gov, and state Senate/congress.
Just as the current Democratic party is a totally different body than it was prior to 1963, the Republicans are no longer the party it was prior to 1992. The only truly bipartisan action these bodies perform is in their efforts to keep any third party candidates from taking donors away from them and to keep themselves in office.
Eisenhower said it would take an informed electorate to survive the military industrial complex, and his draft of that speech allegedly said, congressional, military, industrial complex.
George Washington simply warned us political parties would divide and weaken our nation.
Both men were right.
We only need two parties, Socialist and Democrat.
Don't count out the Tea Party just yet. The Taliban has made a big comeback, the teabaggers can as well. They really are very similar.
They're both funded by zealots.
Teddy Roosevelt, Ike, even Reagan, it is the "TEA party" that has gone off the cliff, and is NOT representative of "conservative" values. Republicans should consider the comparison of Krupp, and Koch, if they really want to assess what the "TEA" folks represent, and where they would lead this nation.
You know, that might just make for a very interesting conspiracy theory!!
Ah, the Tea Party types would not like the policies of a normal conservative like Ronald Reagan, would hate the policies of a moderate conservative such as IKE, and would positively despise the Presidency of Teddy Roosevelt.
Remember Teddy went after the wealthiest people this country has ever had, thus becoming the "Trust Buster". But even more he consorted with flaky environmentalists such as Gilbert Grosvenor (first editor in chief of the National Geographic magazine), and especially that great California environmentalist (literally tree hugging) John Muir. Together (and especially Roosevelt who had the popularity and the political power) they were the founding force behind the greatest National Park System in the history of the world.
For this legacy to future generations of appreciating Americans like myself (even if nothing else) he absolutely deserves to be one of the faces on Mt. Rushmore!!By the way, all three men you mentioned were men of at least some degree of renown before they ever entered politics, and made good to great presidents.
But you are indeed correct, all three would now not be electable by the Tea Party, the Grand Old Party has become almost totally defunct!!
As usual, I enjoy and agree with your posts. I'll add one more point to your comment that "The only truly bipartisan action these bodies perform is in their efforts to keep any third party candidates from taking donors away from them and to keep themselves in office."
They are also good at maintaining a very comfortable bubble for themselves, so that they don't have to live like 98% of the people they represent. They get pensions (rather than paying into Social Security), government-provided healthcare, many put their kids in private schools, they couldn't be busted for insider trading (up until last year), and many leave office for cushy positions at the corporations that lobbied them.
How much would anyone like to bet that the 98% would live better if the House and Senate had to live like them? -
After having seen the stories about all the infighting in the GOP, why not a 3rd party?
Seriously, why doesn't the TEA Party register as a separate Political party with all 50 Secretaries of State, and actually run apart from the Republicans?
I'm not denigrating anyone, or making fun of anyone, but rather just asking why it hasn't happened?
If the Hard-line Conservatives hate the moderate wing of the GOP so much, why stay in the party? -
Teddy Roosevelt also upset many land owners and business men when he created the national park system. There was national outrage that these "private" lands would be nationalized and set aside for trivial purposes like keeping wild places alive for animals and people. We now have people upset that these lands are still being held off limits even tho more public land is being logged, mined, fracked, et al than ever before.
Excellent comment Mr. Landers. I almost always enjoy your posts.

Critical acclaim was no cinch. The nine years or so leading up to the structure's bow had been rough. Cracks had been made about the city, the hall's organizers and the wisdom of offering a scholarly salute to a musical art form that has been at its best when it's made many of the academics and highbrows who support museums profoundly uncomfortable. Even rocker David Bowie looked down on the scheme; he called it "ludicrous" and refused to be inducted into the hall. But Bowie's was a minority opinion; even onetime bad boys such as the Rolling Stones gave the project their blessing. Perhaps the times were a-changin'--and didn't Cleveland deserve a change for the better?
Certainly the Cleveland electronic press felt that way. Newscasts throughout the grand-opening weekend were dominated by Hall of Fame coverage, most of it breathless. One station opened its eleven o'clock broadcast on Thursday with footage of Bruce Springsteen arriving at the airport for an all-star concert to be staged at Cleveland's Memorial Stadium two days later in conjunction with the museum's grand opening. The visuals were accompanied by anchorman Judd Hambrick's exuberant narration: "It's a `Jungleland,' as the man `Born to Run' with a `Hungry Heart' gets set to relive his `Glory Days' on the `Backstreets' of Cleveland..."
Following Hambrick's spiel, the station switched to location sound. As Springsteen moved down a generic corridor surrounded by cameramen and reporters, someone shouted, "What do you think of Cleveland so far?"
The Boss looked bleary-eyed, shell-shocked. "Kinda crowded," he replied.
The Cleveland Convention Center was transformed into a media nexus for the hall's grand opening, and on Friday morning, volunteers appeared to know what they were doing as they directed reporters from one kiosk to another in search of credentials, press releases and the like. But behind the scenes, matters were considerably more confused.
A brand of catch-as-catch-can organization has been the hall's modus operandi since 1983, when a small cadre of music bigwigs, including Ahmet Ertegun, chairman/CEO of Atlantic Records, and Rolling Stone editor and publisher Jann Wenner, brainstormed the concept of the Hall of Fame. These would-be visionaries subsequently conceived the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, which, according to the group, was "created both to honor the artists (and the nonperformers) who have shaped rock 'n' roll and to document the historical importance of the music itself."
The rub? Beyond these noble words, the hall didn't exist. That began changing in 1985, when K. Michael Benz, a Cleveland businessman, floated the idea of a museum to radio pros in the city. Upon learning about the foundation, he and a team that included then-Ohio governor Richard Celeste and Cleveland mayor (and current Ohio governor) George V. Voinovich flew to New York eager to convince Wenner and company that the hall should be built in Cleveland, the city where, in the 1950s, scandal-plagued disc jockey Alan Freed coined the term "rock and roll." Once word leaked out about the city's efforts, other communities entered the race for the museum. Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans and New York (the original favorite) expressed interest, but Cleveland was far and away the most ardent. More than 600,000 locals signed a petition in favor of the hall, and more than 110,000 voted for Cleveland in a 1986 USA Today poll about museum locations. Memphis, the runner-up, logged one-fifteenth that total.
But while enthusiasm was fine, money was better--and once Cleveland was awarded the hall in 1986, it promised to pony up plenty of it. First estimates predicted that the hall would cost $26 million, but those numbers soon went out the window due to inflation, the grandiosity of the design arrived upon by renowned architect I.M. Pei and the usual bureaucratic wrangling. The Hall of Fame Foundation eventually set a 1989 deadline for the city to either raise $40 million or lose the project entirely; Cleveland succeeded, barely, thanks to $8 million in state grants and $34 million in state-backed bonds. Final figures are tough to come by, but by some estimates, more than $65 million in public funds, plus $20 million from private sources, got the hall on its feet. Even so, it wasn't until after Chuck Berry and Pete Townshend helped break ground on the shore of Lake Erie in 1993 that it finally became clear that the embarrassing spectacle of annual induction ceremonies for a Hall of Fame that wasn't there (held in New York since 1986) would finally come to an end. At last, the damn thing was going to be built.
Still, not everything was running smoothly. After the groundbreaking, K. Michael Benz, who had earlier replaced Larry Thompson as museum director, was himself replaced by Dennis Barrie, former head of Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center. Barrie brought with him impeccable museum credentials, but he wasn't what you'd call a rock buff. Earlier this year, at a press conference intended to hype attendance at the September 2 concert, which boosters were frantic to pack, he told the gathered media that fans wouldn't want to miss the chance to see Aretha Franklin and Melissa Etheridge "heating up the stage together." When the reporters laughed at the image of out-front lesbian Etheridge heating things up with Franklin, Barrie was puzzled. "What?" he asked. "Did I say something funny?"

The Vietnam Opportunity Fund has a medium to long term (3-5 year) focus and has the largest market cap of the three funds. As of September 1, 2008, the market cap of this fund is the equivalent of $782 million dollars. It has a sector focus on expansion capital for early to mid stage companies as well as assets it views as undervalued. The VinaLand Fund has an objective to provide Shareholders an attractive level of income and potential capital growth by investing mainly in Vietnamese property and development projects. Its primary focus is in Ho Chi Minh, with a secondary focus in Hanoi and leisure locations such as Da Nang. The Vietnam Infrastructure Fund holds debts, equity, and hybrid instruments in unquoted companies that hold, develop, or operate significant Vietnamese infrastructure assets. Its key investment areas are operating projects, distressed or stalled projects, and greenfield development sites. Its asset classes focus on the energy, transport, water, and telecom sectors. VinaCapital Real Estate, Ltd. VinaCapital Real Estate provides strategic property investment, development services, project management coordination, property financing and fund raising, and asset management services. It ensures that the property development is taken from concept to completion. It does this by coordinating the legal, financial, licensing, and construction issues. VinaSecurities, JSC VinaSecurities is a newly formed venture for VinaCapital. It offers brokerage and investment banking products as well as corporate financial services. These services are provided both at an institutional level as well as to individuals with high net wealth. It is one of the 1st international-standard brokers in Vietnam and is the only Vietnamese broker publishing international-standard research covering both sectors and individual companies. DFJ VinaCapital DFJ VinaCapital is a US-based $25 million venture capital fund that is jointly managed by VinaCapital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ). It aims to invest in Vietnam's emerging technology companies and companies going through privatization. This joint venture has senior executives in both Vietnam and Silicon Valley. Key TakeawaysTimes of uncertainty bring great opportunityVietnam's economy and stock market has been in a tailspin during the second half of 2008. The stock market has dropped as much as 60% during the year. In order to bring the economy back under control, the government increased interest rates to over 20%. During this time of uncertainty, VinaCapital chose to maintain its funds. It even saw this as an opportunity to launch a new fixed-income fund to capitalize on the high interest rates. Business and management practices in Vietnam are still evolving When Vietnam first liberalized its economy, a wave of expatriates brought in their specific expertise from across the world. A second wave, several years later, brought the "Viet Kieu", or Vietnamese living overseas, back to Vietnam. Combinations of these two classes are commonly found in senior management, including VinaCapital's. They tend to have been schooled overseas and bring a wide range of experiences. There is not currently an abundant source of locally educated Vietnamese for these positions, but availability is continuing to improve. In Vietnam the Boy Scott Motto applies: "Be prepared" We spoke to VinaCapital briefly about the challenges that come with perceived corruption in Vietnam and learned that the first step to dealing with it is to know it exists. But a business person has to deal with more than corruption in Vietnam. We realized preparation for the rapidly changing weather patterns is also required, as a number of our group got caught in a torrential downpour and had to endure the entire meeting in soaking wet clothes. Posted by: K. Philippe |
VinaCapital's offices are located in the distinctive Sun Wah Tower. Some class members got caught in a sudden torrential downpour on the way to VinaCapital. Three VinaCapital executives addressed us in this boardroom. Our Professors thanked our hosts for the presentation and other assistance in Vietnam. |

UPDATE - Murder charges are pending for the two people who allegedly loaded several illegal immigrants into the back of a U-Haul truck.
One of the victims who was on life support died this morning.
An autopsy will be conducted and Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
Two of the other patients are currently still at the hospital in stable condition.
The drivers Nathan Lamb and Elizabeth Kay, both 25 years old, are booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center for numerous counts of Human Smuggling, Aggravated Assault, Endangerment and Murder.
Lamb and Kay admitted to driving the illegal immgrants from Douglas to Picacho Peak.
While driving they heard "pounding and banging" from inside of the cargo area.
They said they didn't stop right away because they were afraid they would be seen.
The Sheriff's Office said, after stopping in Picacho Peak, Lamb and Kay saw the conditions of the victims and fled the scene.
PICACHO, Ariz- Eight people were transported to the hospital, after being found unconscious in the back of a U-Haul truck near the Dairy Queen in the 16500 block of East Camino Adelante.
Avra Valley spokesman Patrick Calhoun says two of the victims were airlifted to UAMC, one in critical condition and one in serious condition. Six other victims were taken to UAMC by ground ambulance, one in serious condition and the other five in stable condition.
All victims were suffering from heat-related symptoms.
Tim Gaffney with the Pinal County Sheriff's Department says the people in the group are undocumented immigrants.
Sheriff's deputies are searching the nearby desert for others who fled the scene.

We bought a house with a finished basement last year. The humidity was off the charts (67%) and bought a dehumidifier a month ago. It works well and the humidity holds between 46 and 50%. However, I still have a smell. How do I get my the place to smell just like upstairs? I want to be able to open the door to the basement and not notice an immediate difference in smell. Can this be done, or is there only so much you can do with a basement? I should also mention that I ripped up the carpet last year, as I thought some of the smell might be trapped in there. The only thing left is the sheetrock and ceiling tiles. Thanks for any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only thing left is the sheetrock and ceiling tiles. ...and the wood framing behind the drywall. Unfortunately, once a basement has been a mould farm for years, often there's not much you can do but remove everything and start over. First, though, be sure the odour is mould, not sewer gas from a dried-out floor drain or improperly vented bathroom or kitchen fixture. |
As part of mold testing I do and the least invasive way of checking for moisture issues is to use a IR Thermometer which will use a laser pointer to highlight an area I know Harbor Frieght has inexpensive version if there is a store in you area. Point at different areas of wall and cielings etc and the areas with moisture problems will show a few degrees cooler temperature then the other similar surfaces. I would do this after doing as worthy suggested pour some water in your floor drain to make sure the P trap is full so sewer gas is not from the drain. Here is good link to mold questions and answers. Good luck, Eddie |

I know this is after the holidays but I didn't get my fix of Christmas pudding this year because my hubby's aunt that usually made it passed away. No one in the family has the recipe. It's an old fashioned pudding that is served with a hard sauce, I know that she used cherries in the pudding, but other than that no clue. I've found some recipes that seem similar, but they all use suet and I know she didn't use suet. Anyone have a recipe? |

Thank you!!!!! That sounds like it may be about right. She didn't have nuts in hers so I'll leave out the nuts, but otherwise it sounds similar, I'll give it a try. Thanks again! |

Absolutely! I agree that every child is precious and should be honored.posted 05/17/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Sometimes there are instances, things that happen. Not saying you should then turn to BEGGING your friends for a shower. It's all about OPINIONS and if you want a baby shower for subsequent babies I highly doubt your friends and family will chastise you for it. And i don't think you'll hate yourself for it if you do end up in regret. Plus, if I'm pregnant with my second child and my girlfriends want to host a baby shower in the new baby's honor, I don't see it fit to tell them no thanks. It's not a life decision. If you're worried about your dignity and what not, then simply don't have a shower for your second or third baby. If you want to accept a friend or family member's offer to celebrate the baby with a shower, then ACCEPT it:) I agree, you shouldn't ever beg anyone for a shower. If it happens it happens. If not, have a welcome baby party after the baby is born and request that guests don't bring gifts. If i do have a friend who has a baby shower for a second baby I will go!!posted 04/29/2010 by 285200
Wow, this one has turned out to be a pretty emotional topic. Everyone of course is entitled to their opinions. I'll offer one last word on the subject directed especially to those who feel the need to beg their friends, coworkers and family members for baby items via a baby shower on subsequent pregnancies: According to latest data available (2007) the median US household income is $50,000+, the cost to raise a child born in 2010, into a Midwest, for example, two parent home is over $234,000 (includes tuition at a public college). The initial one time baby costs run approximately $2,000 (see http://www.babycenter.com/babyCostCalculator.htm for the cost breakdown). Sorry seems to me if you are struggling with the one-time costs to the point you need others help, the responsible thing to do would be to save until you are in a better position financially to do so. Having a child is a financial commitment like buying a house - you wouldn't do if you couldn't afford it.posted 04/28/2010 by Jlynneb40
I am having a second baby shower because I am having a girl so I see nothing wrong with it. Now if I would have had one of the same sex I would not have had a baby shower so I say yes.posted 04/28/2010 by Beth94
Your absolutely right, and I apologize. You are allowed to your opinion, however, in all fairness I should be allowed a rebuttal with the same dignity. Please understand that I work in a female dominated environment, and whilst this has given me an insight into a world I still don?t claim to know anything about. I am constantly asked what I am going to provide, or how I?m going to participate in so and so?s latest baby shower. I feel forced to spend my time and exhaust resources that could be used elsewhere for something I don?t believe in, and was taught (yes I went to etiquette school as a youth) this type of event is against the social grain. Much the same way that gifts should not be given for second weddings if you gave at the first. Good luck to all you expectant mothers and God be with you.posted 04/28/2010 by mrericks

visit www.creativecreationsbychrissie.com for great baby shower gifts! We specialize in diaper cakes, diaper wreaths, onesie bouquets, rhinestone baby bottles and much much more!posted 04/28/2010 by creativecreations
So what your saying is it's ok for poor people but not ok for the wealthy? Let's all lower our incomes so we can get freebie's! These are children not lottery tickets. Theres an old adage "If you wait until you can afford a child, you will never have one". I believe if you are responsible enough to create a child you should be responsible enough to provide for them. Just because you aren't wealthy doesn't mean you cant have class. Showers after the first child are Tacky, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.posted 04/28/2010 by mrericks
It is proper to have a shower for a second child. Some people can't afford to buy all new baby things. That's what a shower is about. Sure, if you're making $150,000 a year, you probably don't need a shower so much as a welcome baby party for your second. Showers are about babyposted 04/28/2010 by 285200
I believe it is NOT proper to have a SECOND shower reguardless of age between sibs, or sex! Yes life is wonderful and so are babies, but shouldn't that be enough? Showers are only little about the babies these days. Most people dont make toys or sew clothing with love, the vast majority of items given are just to ease the transition from couples to little families. My wife had showers for our first child and yes we received many wonderful, and some no so wonderful items i.e. butt paste. We would, however, never consider asking people for additional items. Whether your pregnant with your second, third, forth, ect.. or if the baby was planned or not. It's a direct result of your choice. Therefore you should be resonsible for needs, not making others foot the costs. Call these additional parties sprinklings or blessing parties or whatever, it is what it is. An excuse for people to more "ME, ME, ME, please pay extra attention to ME" and by the way buy me things so I dont have toposted 04/28/2010 by mrericks

Recidivism is one of the most hotly contested topics both in the field of criminal justice as well as in everyday life. Recidivism is defined loosely as the likelihood of a person to return to incarceration or to commit a new crime upon release after serving a sentence imposed by a court of law. The causes of recidivism have been debated since penal systems have been implemented. The solutions proposed to stem the tide of career criminals or repeat offenders have been numerous as well as contradictory. The main source of debate comes from two competing ideologies, those who seek to reintroduce offenders back into the community and those who seek to isolate offenders and see this as punishment for their crime. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the root causes of recidivism in North America as well as analyze proposed solutions to the problem of recidivism.
Hispanic-American women are often overlooked in U.S. society, infrequently represented in commercials, magazines, or movies. However, when Hispanic-American women appear in these spectra of media, they are often slim, attractive, and have a sexual appeal to men. In Spanish literature, women writers are disregarded for their introspective and, often, critical works. Julia de Burgos and Alfonsina Storni are two amazing female writers who focus inwardly on women and how they are supposed to appear to the world. The criticize themselves at times, but in a mordant way to show that women are not the problem, but men have a direct hand in the way that others and women view themselves. Does the manner that the media portray Hispanic-American women give them eating disorders and false goals to achieve? There is a growing amount of eating disorders in the U.S. among women in general and the media are blamed for many of them. However, Hispanic-Americans (specifically women) are usually bypassed. The information I have found in both the literature and media, either proves or disproves my theory.
Political scientists have been looking for a model that could explain government action. In my paper, I operate under the theory that the pivotal voter (defined in my research as the voter with the median income) affects public policy (Black, 1948). In order to test this I use a hypothesis from which states that the closer an individual is to the median voter the more satisfied the individual is with the current policy (Barr and Davis, 1966). Through this I show that policy is created in order to satisfy the median voter. In order to test this I use the survey method to test the level of public spending, which is how I define current policy. I use the cluster sampling technique, and my database is Easton Town Center shoppers. To test the results of my data I use the correlation techniques, chi squared, Cramer's V, lambda, gamma, and Pearson correlation. I hope that this data lends support to the median voter theory, which is useful in providing an understanding of policy and its origin.

The text for handling damage in the Political Escort mission offers two different methods for handling critical hits to the shuttle in the same sentence. I don't have the book in front of me ATM but it goes something like "Change any # results to * results (i.e. deal all damage cards to the shuttle face down)" The first half implies a functionality similar to focus or marksman, changing critical die results to non-critical during attack modification step, before agility is rolled. The second half in parenthesis seems more akin to Chewbacca's unique skill, flipping face up damage cards face down immediately without resolving their effect.
In most cases this is irrelevent, except if you're using the squad builing variant. If I wanted to put Draw their Fire on one of the escort ships, and it works like the first half of the sentence implies, DTF is useless, since there will be no uncanceled critical hits to draw away. If it works how the parathetical implies, DTF becomes a cheap addition to extend the longevity of the shuttle and complete the mission.
So how is it supposed to work? Thank you for your time.
