LoCo Luxury Homes…Still Selling
Back in January, I wrote a post about the luxury market in Loudoun, the $1 million-plus homes, that also ran in the Washington Post's real estate blog. At the time, I pointed out that the luxury market seemed to be rebounding, with the overall number of million dollar homes sold rising from 50 homes sold in 2010 to 62 in 2011. When I … [Read more...]
LoCo Market Update: Blue Skies and Sunny
I wouldn't go so far as to call the local real estate market loco...but it has been a completely different experience than 2011. Based on the May numbers released by MRIS, the multiple listing service that Realtors use here, our Loudoun sold dollar volume for May 2012 was $222,570,219, up 30.71% from May 2011. At the same time, overall days … [Read more...]

On the microwave? Most of them seem to be 900-950. We got so fed up with our old OTR microwave that we bought a countertop Panasonic inverter that is 1300 watts and we love it. The thought of going back to 900 watts makes me sad.
I have been back and forth about what to do. I'd like the advantium but not the GE convection oven, so I was thinking possibly electrolux wall oven with Advantium. Then I was thinking maybe just the electrolux combo oven+speed cook. But I can't see giving up my 1300 microwave. Should I build a shelf for it? And maybe get regular double ovens? Or still the advantium? I love the idea of having 2 ovens so I don't want to go for just a single wall oven. And I don't want the micro on the counter, but I don't know where I will put it that will still look good. Under the island? (doing a full remodel and haven't ordered cabinets yet). |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wondered about the same thing before I got the 240V Advantium. But after using it for almost a year now, I think the 950W is enough. One of the things I noticed about the oven is that it has a very good sensor in it. I can just select the reheat plate of food feature, for example, and the MW will just stop on its own. It has been very accurate each time. It does the same for popcorn. There are also some items that required more MW wattage for the browning plate or packaging to work, like frozen burritos, pizzas, pockets, pasty and the like. These items come out better in the speedoven without the browning material. I don't miss the extra wattage. |

Cabin Theory – Jared Song lyrics
Don't you open your sorry mouth
I would love to see your head on the floor.
I would love to see, why don't you laugh right now.
I got my hands wet
I got no timing
I wouldn't save you.
Every word a lie.
Lie! Lie!
Every word you spoke

Ordinance to restrict outlaw sales during holidays, keep annoying vendors off streets.
A new ordinance aimed at curbing offensive peddlers will be presented at the Santa Clarita City Council meeting Tuesday night. After scores of complaints from residents and local businesses, the city drafted some new rules that should make everyone happy. The rules don't apply to solicitors for local charities such as high school kids selling raffle tickets or Girl Scouts peddling cookies, but do provide some relief from unwanted door-to-door sales people and from illegal vendors parking a flower stand in the public right-of-way.
Some of the proposed changes are:
- Violations of the proposed code would increase from an infraction to a misdemeanor.
- Peddling and soliciting would be prohibited on the public-right-of way with the exception of peddling from vehicles. Vending from carts or on foot would be prohibited in the public-right-of way.
- Vehicles could spend no more than thirty (30) minutes at any given location within a six hour time period.
- Only 10% of the food items sold from a vehicle could be non-prepared items (such as fruits, vegetables, etc.)
- Each individual peddler must possess a valid permit. Blanket permits covering a group of individuals representing the same organization would no longer be issued.
- Peddling and soliciting could only be conducted from 8 a.m. to sunset. Present language in the Municipal Code allows these activities to occur as late at 8:30 p.m.
- Any peddler or solicitor under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
- No peddling or soliciting can be performed at any dwelling unit or commercial premise where a "no peddling or soliciting" sign has been posted.
- Peddlers and solicitors are prohibited from engaging in aggressive or over persistent behavior with a person once that person has indicated they are not interested.
- Peddlers and solicitors must leave the premises immediately if they are asked to do so.
- All vehicles used for peddling must be parked at least 100 feet from an intersection to minimize impacts on traffic flow.
The ordinance must be presented for a second reading, after which it could become law as soon as next month. To read the complete agenda item and ordinance, click here .
Other items on the agenda include awarding the design contract for the new Newhall Library at the cost of $340,000, donating old street signs to charities for fund-raising purposes and awarding the construction contract for the expansion and modification of the George Caravalho Sports Complex at a cost of $6.4 million. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers at City Hall.

Justin Gaston Grabs Attention, Own Crotch With 'V Man' Article
It seems like Justin Gaston is popping up all over the place these days, and, umm....we're not complaining!
Last week these sexy shots of Miley Cyrus' undies-flogging beau appeared in this month's V Man to much delight. And that rock-hard body was definitely not photo-shopped a la Kelly Clarkson, as evidenced in these ab-tastic photos from his afternoon jog with Miley over the weekend.
Here are some gems from his interview in the mag:
- "People don't understand that there's no such thing as an underwear model, there's just modeling. Nine times out of ten I'm actually wearing clothes."
- "The most fun Miley and I ever had together was when her mom and I surprised her and took a helicopter to Tony Hawk's place. First we skated there for a while, then we flew to Anaheim to see Coldplay."
- "In a girl, I want someone who's really genuine. Someone attractive, but more just really nice."
If nice is what he's after, then Miley is perfect! A real angel, right?
What do you think about Justin? More importantly, what do you think about that bod?

On October 11, 2013, members of the Breathitt ATC FBLA traveled to LBJ Elementary School in Jackson, KY to help run the 4-H Dollars and Sense program.
On October 24, 2013, members of the Breathitt ATC FBLA traveled to Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School in Jackson, KY to help run the 4-H Dollars and Sense program.
[ngg_images gallery_ids="14" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails" gallery_width="600" gallery_height="400"]
FBLA Members participated in a fun activity designed to teach young elementary school students how to spend money wisely. The program has proved to be a fun way to learn how to manage money, with both the elementary students and FBLA members having a lot of fun.
For more information about the Dollars and Sense program, please contact Jessica Ritchie, the Breathitt County 4-H CEA.
As the 2013-2014 school year begins, Breathitt Area Technology Center is poised to provide high school students in Breathitt County with a full range of career readiness options. The BATC is committed to helping students leave high school with a trade skill, employability skills, or both. Below is a list of the various offerings and their purpose.
All Seniors taking ATC classes will get to take the WorkKeys assessment free of charge. WorkKeys, from the makers of the ACT test, is a workplace readiness test. It allows students to showcase their ability to accurately process the kinds of information most workers deal with on a daily basis. Students who score at least Silver level on all three parts will receive a Workplace Readiness Certificate with a code printed on it that can be used by employers to verify a student's successful completion of that test.
Seniors who have taken three or more classes in a given program will take the KY Occupational Skills Standards Assessment (KOSSA) for that program. Passing this test certifies that students have a good understanding of the skills needed in the trade being tested. KOSSA certificates are widely recognized by government agencies and industry throughout KY.
Each technical program at the BATC offers national, industry-recognized certifications to students who complete three or more classes in the program. These certifications include (by program):
If a student completes three or more classes in one program, passes either the WorkKeys or KOSSA tests, and gets industry certification, he or she will get a Career Readiness Certificate. Students who complete the Career Readiness requirements are recognized during Senior Awards Night and receive a special mint green honors cord to wear at graduation.
Katlin Koehler, a junior at the Breathitt Area Technology Center, has advanced to the Certiport Microsoft Office Specialist Word 2010 National Competition in Anaheim, CA. The competition will take place at the 2013 Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference on June 29 held at the Anaheim Hilton. This is the first year the competition has been part of FBLA.
Ms. Koehler is the only representative from the KY Tech system and one of only five students representing the entire state. To qualify, Ms. Koehler scored an impressive 908 out of 1000 on the Microsoft Office Word 2010 Exam. During the competition, she will be taking the Word 2010 Expert Exam.
Before year's end, Ms. Koehler will be Microsoft Office Specialist Certified in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The staff at the Breathitt ATC could not be more proud of Ms. Koehler's accomplishment and wish her the best of luck at the competition.
On Friday, December 7, 20012, twenty-two members of the Breathitt ATC FBLA visited Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary to help with the 4-H "Dollars and Sense" program.
[nggallery id=13]
The program simulates budgeting and making smart buying choices. The elementary students are given a budget of $135 (in play money) and must visit and make a purchase from each of several stores (operated by the FBLA members). Each store has several buying choices in different price ranges. When students decide what they want to purchase, the FBLA members take payment for the purchase and record it in the students' check registers. The students must learn how to make wise choices so they can stay within budget. The young buyers are allowed to return items if they run out of money before visiting all stores. Some of the students learned about tough buying choices since they ran out of money before visiting all stores! At the end of the day, everybody had a great time and learned a little along the way.
The program was organized by Ms. Jessica Mullins and Mrs. Stacy Neace of the University of Kentucky Extension Office 4-H Program. The members and advisers of Breathitt ATC FBLA would like to thank these ladies for the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile activity.

On Friday, November 9, 2012, members of the Breathitt Area Technology Center FBLA, SkillsUSA, and HOSA clubs visited Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School to help run the annual Fall Festival.
MRC Reading Recovery Coach Virginia Herald organizes the event each year and ensures that each ATC student knows the rules for the game they will be running. Some of this year's games included basketball shoot, ball dart throw, disturb the jug, ladder toss, and the fish pond. The MRC students won lots of prizes. As usual, the ATC club students had a great time helping the elementary students. After the Festival had concluded, Mrs. Hearld treated the 38 ATC students to deep fried Oreos.
On Monday, October 22, 2012, Morehead State University President Dr. Wayne Andrews and MSU Early College Program Coordinator Mr. Joel Pace visited the Office Technology classes at Breathitt Area Technology Center. The delegation from MSU wanted to check on the progress of the Computer Literacy (CIS101) courses offered by instructors Joe Mayabb and Jerry Smith. Mayabb and Smith were happy to report that the CIS101 students are doing well and are on track to earn three credit hours for the course in December.
The MSU Early College (EC) Program aims to offer high school students a chance to earn college credit through MSU by taking University-sanctioned classes taught by qualified faculty at the students' high schools. In order to qualify for the program, students must have a composite ACT score of 18, have a 3.0 GPA, and be a Junior or Senior. This is the first year that Breathitt ATC has offered any EC courses. According to Program Coordinator Joel Pace, the EC Program has been wildly successful at several schools within MSU's service area, despite only having been in full-swing for two years.
The Office Tech instructors hope to continue offering EC courses in the future, as it has been a welcomed opportunity for the students. A section of CIS211 – Spreadsheets and Database Applications will be offered in Spring 2013. For more information, call Jerry Smith at 606-666-5153.

Buying Votes with OPM - Other People's Money
Bill Whittle does a great job of making the complex easily understandable:
The kind of issue that also happens to most countries. - Bernadine Fried
that? would depend if the loan is on a rinucedg basis or a flat basis. If it is rinucedg, the interest would be calculated on the remaining principal and if it is a flat rate, the interest would be calculated on the original principal. If your banker quotes you a very low flat rate, be aware that you will continue to pay a higher interest through out the term of the facility unlike loans on rinucedg rates.
You make some good points and have valid cerconn any time the spotlight is on Christians, you have sinners on display. Inevitably, someone who means well will say or do something that is not Christ-like, and then all of Christianity gets labeled a bunch of hyprocrites! However, I happily stood in line for 30 minutes today and ate a spicy chicken sandwich without a twinge of guilt. Here's why:1) I really like Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwich. Does the fact that a Christian man built his business on that chicken sandwich make it taste better? I doubt it. It's really, really yummy.2) I really like CFA's atmosphere, where those making and serving the food are helpful and hardworking. A positive attitude is rare among fast-food establishments. (Plus, I don't have to leave a tip! All I have to do is say thank you! and they say, my pleasure. I think they really mean it.)3) I like having to deny myself a CFA sandwich on Sundays. It forces me to have some sort of self-control.4) I agree with Dan Cathy's personal opinions on marriage, and it makes me happy to know that they give a portion of the profits to Exodus International, a ministry that encourages men and women to seek God's best for their lives. (By the way, I met a man who worked for Exodus International while in Houston. He shared a bit about his role in a branch of EI that rescues young women [and men] from sex-trafficking. He was a humble, caring man, whose motive was clearly compassion and love.) Also, I think its commendable that the COO of a booming business cares enough to give money away to charity, much less a ministry. Isn't that the call of Christian stewardship? 5) While I understand WHY some people feel the need to boycott CFA based on a difference of opinion and because of the fact that they fundamentally disagree with Cathy for giving money to Exodus International, I do not want the company to suffer loss because of this boycott. That is why I went to CFA today so that I could say (with every penny of my $7.25 spent), Yes, Dan Cathy, I agree. I support you giving money to Exodus International, and I hope you continue to do so. 6) I can love Jesus, eat a yummy sandwich, love truth, and love the people who disagree with me all at the same time! (There's no contradiction!)

WASHINGTON - British Prime Minister Tony Blair told Congress Thursday he believes "with every fiber of instinct and conviction" that the U.S. and British led war on Iraq was justified - and that history will forgive them if weapons allegations used as justification were wrong.
"We promised Iraq democratic government. We will deliver it," he said.
The prime minister suggested that history will forgive the toppling of Saddam Hussein's government even if it turns out that Blair and President Bush were wrong about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
To have hesitated "in the face of this menace when we should have given leadership ... that is something that history will not forgive," Blair said, to loud applause from House members and senators.
Blair entered the House chamber to a standing ovation of lawmakers, senior Bush administration officials and American military brass.
The prime minister wryly thanked his audience for a "warm and generous welcome that's more than I deserve, and it's more than I'm used to, quite frankly."
That was a reference to domestic Birtish politics. Before the war, Blair drew stronger opposition in the House of Commons to military action than Bush did in Congress. And like Bush, he has been hit hard by post-war controversy over questionable intelligence about Saddam Hussein's nuclear aims.
Blair's visit to Congress, and then to the White House for a meeting and joint news conference with Bush, came amid deepening questions about the intelligence information both leaders used in arguing that war against Iraq was necessary.
The two leaders were the closest of allies on the war, but the relationship has been strained in recent weeks over questions about British claims that Iraq sought to buy uranium in Africa and the president's use of such an assertion in his Jan. 28 State of the Union address.
"Can we be sure that terrorists and weapons of mass destruction will join together?" Blair asked. "Let us say one thing. If we are wrong, we will have destroyed a threat that at its least is responsible for inhumane carnage and suffering."
Blair arrived aboard his British Airways jet in early afternoon and went directly to Capitol Hill. It was the first leg of a seven-day tour that will also take him to Asia. He is the first British prime minister to address a joint meeting of Congress since Margaret Thatcher in 1985.
His speech also touched on the war on terrorism, the Middle East peace process, the need to eradicate poverty, disease and famine in Africa and the need to promote free trade.
"This terrorism will not be defeated without peace in the Middle East," he said.
In what appeared to be mild criticism of the Bush administration, Blair also said it was important to act in coalitions, not going it alone. "Let us start preferring a coalition and acting alone if we have to, not the other way around," he said.
And, he called on lawmakers not to continue to bear grudges against European countries who opposed the war.
"They are our allies. And yours. So don't give up on Europe," he said.
"When we invade Afghanistan or Iraq, our responsibility does not end with military victory," Blair said. "Finishing the fighting is not finishing the job. We promised Iraq democratic government. We will deliver it."
"We promised them the chance to use their oil wells to build prosperity for all their citizens, not a corrupt elite. We will stay with these people so in need of help until the job is done."
"I believe with every fiber of instinct and conviction I have that we are" right in deciding to go to war without broad international support, Blair said.
Ahead of his visit, White House spokesman Scott McClellan reiterated the recent administration stance that Bush's mention of the British Iraq-Africa report should not have been included in the January address.
Still, he added, "the British have been very clear that they stand by that statement."
Bush said in his State of the Union address, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
The Iraq-Africa dispute has stoked criticism against both the Blair and Bush governments, and Blair's visit helped to further draw attention.
CIA Director George Tenet has thus far taken the blame, suggesting he should have objected when a draft of Bush's speech was circulated to his agency.
And the White House has continued try to deflect responsibility away from the president - even though a page on the White House Web site shows a picture of Bush working on his speech, with a caption that says "President Bush reviews the State of the Union address line-by-line and word-by-word."
Asked about that on Thursday, McClellan said there were "a lot of people involved "who had input into the president's speech. "And the bottom line is the speech was cleared. But we learned some more information later and we should not have included it in there."
U.S.-British ties have also been strained by the fate of two British terror suspects being held at Guantanamo Bay.
Blair is under pressure to raise the issue of Moazzam Begg, 35, and Feroz Abbasi, 23 - Britons being held at the U.S. naval base in Cuba. More than 200 British lawmakers signed a parliamentary motion protesting any American plans to try them before a military tribunal.

"I got this recipe from Taste of Home. I usually use a whole 8oz block of cream cheese and make it thicker. I also use this "dip" cold to make bean burritos. I've also just mixed all the ingredients together and just given it a zap in the microwave. Yummy."
"I liked this. I lowered the peanut butter by probably half because I've found it overpowering in other recipes. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. I used the quick oriental noodles instead of linguine and served it on a bed of lettuce."
"I made this on the stove top and it was very quick to do. I thought it would be too dilly, but it wasn't. Very good. I used sour cream as suggested by 1hotpotato."
"Excellent, Excellent!! This recipe is so easy and quick. The batter is buttery, yummy. The guys at work approve of this one."

Sequestration is "looming." Sequestration is, indeed, upon us. I wrote a little about this in the January 28 issue of National Review. The piece was called "Defense Is Different." Let me give you some comments that people have made, with regard to sequestration — particularly with regard to the defense budget. The comments did not find their way into my piece. But I collected them (and others), in preparing the piece.
This is Leon Panetta, the defense secretary, in May 2012: Congressmen must not "just allow sequestration to take effect. I mean, the whole purpose of sequestration, or even developing a crazy vehicle like that, was to ensure that they would exercise leadership to prevent it from happening."
Here is Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina: "This is the dumbest idea that Congress has come up with — and we're known for doing dumb things. The idea that, if a bunch of politicians fail to do their job well and correctly, you're going to destroy the military and fire a bunch of soldiers . . . Fire the politicians, keep the soldiers."
The most important player in all this is President Obama. In a debate last fall, his opponent, Mitt Romney, expressed concern about the defense budget. Obama was, of course, dismissive, and not exactly honest: "First of all, the sequester is not something that I proposed. It's something that Congress has proposed. It will not happen."
Yeah, right. The American people did something momentous when they reelected Obama on November 6. The price, I'm afraid, will be terrible.
Obama did an interview with Al Sharpton the other day. Let me tell you something about Sharpton, or remind you: During the Tawana Brawley hoax, he smeared a man named Steven Pagones. This was no ordinary smearing: He accused Pagones of raping Brawley. Pagones was an assistant district attorney. When he was cleared of this crime — a fictitious crime, in any event — he held a press conference. Sharpton tried to crash it, bellowing, "Your accuser has arrived!"
No accuser of Sharpton ever arrives. He's a star of this left-wing network, MSNBC. The president comes to sit by his side. Sharpton has never apologized to Pagones, for his evil lies. He has proudly said he will not apologize. He is a Christian minister, or something like that. People call him "Reverend," or "Rev."
Would Obama ever sit down with Steven Pagones? Hard to see it happening. Yes, the American people did something important when they reelected Obama in November. They, we, said something about our character.
I thought of Frederick the Great when I read this news report: "Kerry has said he is eager to discuss new ways of persuading Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down and usher in a democratic transition" in a country "wracked by escalating violence that has killed at least 70,000 people."
Frederick was an interesting fellow: king and musician (flutist). He said, "Diplomacy without arms is like music without instruments."
The Czech Republic has done something superb — a little late, you might say, but not too late, and, again, superb. Here is the story:
The Czech government signed deals with representatives of 16 religious groups on Friday to pay them billions of dollars in compensation for property that the country's former Communist regime seized from them.
The move is considered highly controversial in the Czech Republic, and the left-wing opposition has asked the country's highest legal authority, the Constitutional Court, to stop it.
The prime minister, Petr Necas, called the compensation "an act of justice."
I would like to quote one more paragraph, and then make a media comment, if I may. Here it is:
The story harks back to 1948, when the Communists seized power in what was then Czechoslovakia, a mostly Christian country. The Communists confiscated all the property owned by churches and persecuted many priests. Churches were allowed to function only under the totalitarian state's strict control, and priests' salaries were paid by the state.
Okay, here's my comment: While Eastern Europe was Communist, our mainstream media would never — ever — have referred to the government of Czechoslovakia as "totalitarian." (The report I have been quoting is from the Associated Press.) They would not likely have said "the Communists" either. Only since 1989, I guess, has it been safe to speak plainly.

dance notation
dance notation
Written recording of dance movements. The earliest notation, in the late 15th century, consisted of letter-symbols. Several attempts were made in later centuries to describe dance steps, but no unified system combined both rhythm and steps until the 1920s, when Rudolf Laban devised his system of Labanotation. In the 1950s, the competing system of Benesh notation, or choreology, devised by Rudolf and Joan Benesh, came into use. Comparison of the Laban and Benesh systems. (A) Stand with the feet together.

Documento - Qatar: Juicio de poeta Qatarí.
UA: 319/12 Index: MDE 22/002/2012 Qatar Date: 25 October 2012
QATARI POET on trial
Qatari poet Mohammed al-Ajami has been detained since November 2011 and is currently on trial for reportedly "inciting to overthrow the ruling regime" and "insulting the Amir" in relation to his poems. There are concerns that the charges may be solely in relation to the peaceful exercise of his right to freedom of expression. If so, he would be considered a prisoner of conscience.
Poet Mohammed al-Ajami – also known as Mohammed Ibn al-Dheeb – was arrested on 16 November 2011 in Doha, the Qatari capital, and later reportedly charged with "inciting to overthrow the ruling system" and "insulting the Amir". He was arrested by state security after he reported to them after having been summoned to do so. He was allegedly detained incommunicado for months before he was finally allowed family visits. He is believed to currently be detained in Central Prison in Doha.
According to information received by Amnesty International, the prosecution is reported to have brought the charges in relation to a poem he wrote in 2010 in which he criticised the Amir. However, activists in the Gulf region believe that the real reason for his arrest relates to a poem he wrote in 2011 entitled "the Jasmine Poem" which was written in the context of the Arab Spring. The poem criticized Gulf States and stated that "we are all Tunisia in the face of the repressive elite".
His trial, which began in November 2011 at the Criminal Court in Doha, is said to be marred with irregularities. The court sessions are reportedly held in secret. Furthermore, according to information received by Amnesty International, his lawyer was not allowed to attend one of the court sessions and had to provide his defence in writing only.
The charge of "inciting to overthrow the ruling regime" carries a maximum sentence of death (Article 130 of the Penal Code) and up to five years' imprisonment for "insulting the Amir" (Article 134 of the Penal Code).
Please write immediately in Arabic, English or your own language:
Urging the authorities to immediately release Mohammed al-Ajami if he has been detained solely in relation to the peaceful exercise of his right to freedom of expression, in which case he is a prisoner of conscience;
Calling on them to drop all charges relating solely to the peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression and ensure that Mohammed al-Ajami's trial is in accordance with international fair trial standards.

QATARI POET on trial
ADditional Information
Freedom of expression – including press freedoms – is strictly controlled in Qatar, in addition to which the press often exercises self-censorship.
The right to freedom of expression in Qatar is further threatened by the accession by the government in May 2008 to the 2004 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism, the provisions of which risk criminalizing legitimate activities.
The rights to freedom of expression and assembly are guaranteed under international human rights law and standards. Where restrictions are imposed they must be for certain specific purposes, which include the rights and reputation of others, and must be demonstrably necessary and proportionate and must not put in jeopardy the right itself. Public figures of authority should tolerate a greater degree of criticism, not less, than people generally; accordingly, criminal or other laws that provide special protection against criticism for public officials are not consistent with respect for freedom of expression.

Are You Inadvertantly Ageist? Seven Conversation Stoppers to Flag
Submit your jokes to the sniff test
Just because people might laugh, doesn't mean your satire, jokes or comments aren't ageist. Does the humor come from reviling, infantalizing or marginalizing a whole category of people? If you're not sure, mentally replace the reference to aging or old with the equivalent reference to another vulnerable population, such as a religious or ethnic group. Do you find it offensive? If it smells funny, flag it before you speak it out loud.

Frankly, I don't know why you even bothered posting. You repeated old and debunked arguments, and added nothing new to the discussion. That's time neither you, nor those of us who read your post will ever get back...
There is a study linked in the article. http://www.cepr.org/meets/wkcn/9/979...nnano_etal.pdf
No, individual with child-like abilities in logic, it does not. Crime rates are generally lower prior to changes in firearms laws. New York and California have seen decreases in crime prior to weapons laws went into effect. There has been a consistent decline in crime since the 1990s. Not because of less guns either. The majority of people are committing less crimes (theories abound, but the reasons are unknown).
Other places have seen no effect from firearms laws. The District of Columbia and Chicago are examples there. Why? Because the relationship between crime and firearms laws is tenuous at best. Firearms are durable. They last a long time. Law does little to change that. Weapons will always be available. People who want them will be able to get them. People looking to engage in criminal activity just ignore law. People working in the market for illegal substances need firearms as they have no court protection for contracts.
As an aside, I have a magic stick that prevents tornadoes. There has never been a tornado near me. I will sell it to you--guy who has never taken a course in statistics and clearly is lacking in an ability to understand causation--for US$1 million.
Do a bit of reading. Look at peer reviewed journals about Japanese culture and reporting of rape and sexual assault specifically. enough has been written about it. Suicide is also seen as responsible in Japan. See "inseki-jisatsu." different culture. Different views.'
The problem here is that you do not understand math. It is not unexpected, but it prevents any actual examination of facts.
Not quite.
What firearms are is effective. They do not cause anything. Fatality rates are higher with firearms than other weapons. Again, most murders are unplanned. Using a firearm is somewhat easier than using other weapons, so people who are shot are more likely to die. But violence is inherent in the species. And other species as well. Primates kill. A lot. Infanticide, murder, and war-like acts of aggression to take over territory are seen in chimpanzees.
What actually is happening is that stupid people are failing to examine the root causes of crime. They blame firearms because it is easy. Liberals are just as bad at math and science as conservatives. That is a very American quality.

I have 3 Clematis' up against a fence in my yard where they are now standing in water most of the time. I'm suprised that they're even growing but they are as of right now.
Due to the horrific Ice Storm we had in Western MA this past December, two very large trees had to be taken out on that side of my house and now the french drain that comes out of my basement is pointing right are two of them. I would like to transplant them to someplace they'll be safer but not sure if I should do that now. It's sort of a catch 22, or damned if I do and damned if I don't. I love these Clems, they bloomed so nicely last year and it was only their second year. They are Bonanza, Galore and Abundance. Abundance is the one that's in the most trouble, it's right in the line of fire, so to speak! Any help is greatly appreciated. I'd hate to wait until the fall, when they might not make it through the summer. Many thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
I would move them ASAP. They will much faster die of standing water than be killed by a storm. Even if the vines will be killed, new shoots will appear from the crown in no time. All of your Clematis are group III, so they will bloom on new wood anyway. Make sure that the crowns are at least 2-4" below the ground surface. |
Thanks Alina, for some reason I didn't think it was good to transplant until the fall but I don't want to wait and loose them, so I will move them first chance I get! ~Linda |
They will be just fine. Make sure that the planting holes are well drained and will not collect water so the plant get waterlogged. I plant a lot of my Clematis now. Transplanting should be even easier. Good luck! |

City will host water sanitation meet in March
The plight of the waste treatment plant at Vilappilsala has made the public highly sceptical about the prospects of such plants in the State. Now, the government intends to educate the people on the efficacy of upcoming garbage treatment projects, and their role in water sanitation, through 'State WatSan (Water Sanitation) Congress,' scheduled to be held in the city for three days in March 2013. The congress will be organised as part of the State-wide 'Nalla Nadu Nalla Vellam' project, which will be launched soon.
Students, homemakers, government officials, politicians, and voluntary organisations will come together at the congress with a common goal to make Kerala a 'waste-free and water-safe' State.
Models of rain water harvesting; groundwater recharging; conservation of water resources; water quality analysis units; units of waste recycling at source; and other techniques of waste management will be displayed at the convention.
"The ultimate goal of the campaign is to encourage various water conservation methods," said V. Subhash Chandra Bose, Director, Communication and Capacity Development Unit (CCDU). Suchitwa Mission, Local Self Government Departments, and Jalasree CCDU Water Resource Department, will jointly execute the project.
As part of the project, the period from November 2012 to October 2013 will be observed as Water and Sanitation Year. During this period, one lakh local gatherings will be conducted all over Kerala to discuss the issue. Special grama sabhas, door-to-door visits, family meetings, campaigns on techniques of water quality management, are the proposed programmes. A mobile exhibition unit will travel from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod.
Keywords: State WatSan, water sanitation, garbage treatment project, Communication and Capacity Development Unit, Nalla Nadu Nalla Vellam

Exellent coustomer service by frot desk staff
Staff was helpful, will return
Beautiful looking hotel. I missed my connecting flight and arrived after 1pm on the day of checkout. Staff allowed me to stay until after late checkout with no extra fees and were extremely helpful. Room was well appointed.
Staff was so helpful and friendly. Nice hotel.
Wifi signal in room was so weak. Nearly unusable.
Good Restaurant, Good Location, Clean Room, Good Services.
Very Crowed and Nosic in Lobby.
Close proximity to the Subway
Roomwas too small, no where to put the suitcase, Bathroom was also very small and had a moldy shower.
Location is good, near Metro stop; high floors offer dramatic city/harbor views
Rooms are tiny even by HK standards. Front desk person at check-in was indifferent, curt.
Room extremely small with just a small shower, no closest just couple of hanger on the wall, no table, no chair, no space for your suitcases, just enter and seat on the bed, you are like sleeping in the springs!
Easy access, on the H1 bus line for the Airport Express, getting to/from the airport could hardly be easier. The tram is a 90 second walk down Eastern street. There's a McDonald's a block away and a 7-11 across the street. The bed was fairly comfy and made up every day.
The room was TINY!!!! I would guess we had 2 feet on either side of the bed and maybe 2.5 feet at the foot. There is no closet or any other place to hang clothing. The tram and bus stops are near by, but the nearest MTR is a long long walk. The hotel does have a shuttle but due to road construction it dropped everyone at the Macau ferry terminal.
The view from upgraded rooms, ok size of room, starbucks at 1st floor, free wifi, free shuttle to central station
Big comfortable room. Great location.
The buffet breakfast was expensive.
Hotel was nice, staff was friendly, everything was clean. They provided free water (I happened to be thirsty).
The location was kind of far from the subway. It looks like there are some new stations opening near by, but as it is, it was about a 2 mile walk or a free shuttle that ran about every 30 minutes which was a little inconvenient.
Incredible views, very friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast at AVA, excellent location, comfortable room, access to the Club (very important). At breakfast one day the sales manager, William, approached our table and asked us about our stay and if we had any feedback or needed anything, this level of service was unexpected and very impressive. Big thanks to Mr. To! I will strenuously recommend Hotel Panorama by Rhombus to anyone who I hear is staying in Honk Kong / Kowloon.
While we didn't have WiFi in the room, but we had it in the Club, so it was not such a big deal to not have it in the room.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

LoginCritic Reviews for Little Fockers
All Critics (146) | Top Critics (33) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (132) | DVD (5)
Families will flock to the holiday release with gusto, but it's up for debate whether 100 minutes with the Focker and Byrnes families is worse than quality time with your own dysfunctional clan.
The whole enterprise is tired and exhausted and indifferent; even the title is irrelevant and dissembling.
"Little Fockers" is merely a forgettable romp with these worn out characters.
Not up to the high standards set by the first two films, but without a doubt a funny and diverting holiday comedy.
When you're easily outshined by any given episode of Rules of Engagement or Two and a Half Men that means there's a problem.
Utterly formulaic but not unfunny, despite an overreliance on the comedy of below-the-belt pain (prostates and erections are particularly abused).
full review at Movies for the Masses
That talents like De Niro and Stiller would sign off on such a turgid and bone idle attempt to part families with their Christmas cash is stultifying.
Low-brow humor and forced sight gags rule the day.
There's nothing like starting out an alleged comedy romp with a disgusting joke about a man's posterior, vomit and sex talk.
...as dire a comedy as you're likely to see all decade.
A mapped minefield of bad jokes.
With the gags cranked up on the humiliation-o-meter, and otherwise stripped of wit, the film offers little in the way of humor to anyone other than sadists.
Features the same comedy of embarrassment and vulgarity as its predecessors, but also takes a strange sideways step into machismo that leaves it feeling rather joyless
Perhaps the most dubious comedy franchise in movie history, "Little Fockers" takes another hobbling step toward cinema infamy.
Oh Mr. De Niro...it hurts to see you like this.
Third time out for the Meet the Parents franchise, and it's all but impossible to suppress a groan.
Schindler's List was funnier than this.
There are less laughs in this tired threquel, which continues to revel in its not-quite-a-swear surname and the ups and downs of family life, this time with an added emphasis on kids and mortality.
Perhaps they figured as it was six years since the last one, we all might have forgotten the same old jokes from before.
Audience Reviews for Little Fockers
Mediocre third film, Little Fockers really could have been a fun, entertaining movie, but it uses recycled ideas from the two previous movies, and though at times I did laugh, there weren't enough good on-screen jokes to make this a standout comedy worth seeing. The film suffers from a lacking script which just makes the film tedious, and unmemorable. The first two films were great, but with this film the material just doesn't deliver. The humor is predictable, and it's overdone. What they could have done here was keep some of the familiar ground they've established and write new intelligent jokes, instead of exclusively using the old ones. The film just lacks in terms of good story, and everyone involved seems to go through the motions as if they don't care how it ends. Well, Little Fockers ends up being a tiresome film, one that just doesn't deliver anything really funny. Sure, there are a few laughs here and there, but it's not consistent enough to really make this a watchable film. Stick with Meet the Parents instead, it was the best of the trilogy and is still very funny after all these years. Little Fockers is the same old gag and it has become predictable to the point where it's just another comedy sequel that simply doesn't know how to conclude a good trilogy. Little Fockers isn't awful, but it's not good either, it's a mediocre movie, one that that tries too hard at outdoing the first two, and it just doesn't have enough good elements to make this a funny, entertaining comedy. Not awful, but forgettable, Little Fockers should have been much better than this.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Had a couple of laughs but not worth ten dollars. It is hard to believe that Meet the Parents ended up like this. My advice: watch the first and if your curious then the second. The third is a horrible let down.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Painful third installment in a series that should have ended on the first one, when it was still funny. Honestly felt like a bad tv movie. Glad it was a free rental.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Well, I like this series. Granted, they are getting less and less memorable, but I still find them enjoyable. It is still well done. It still has plenty of laughable moments. It still has a nice script. BUT, I do think that they may need to call it a day now.

The Fish Place's chefs use a simple recipe for all their dishes: fresh seafood and Cajun spices. Of course, there's a lot of variety to be found within those parameters. They boil shellfish in the hearty broths of gumbos and etouffes, and fry up catfish and oysters with hot Cajun flavors. Fish and shrimp are stuffed full of cheese and other delicious tidbits. Most courses are served with Southern-style sides, ranging from the iconic red beans and white rice to hush puppies.

Handicap Accessible: Yes
Number of Tables: 11?25
Parking: Parking lot

According to one estimate, seafood that's been left in the sun for more than 79 days will taste markedly worse than fresh seafood. Feast on freshly prepared seafood with today's Groupon, offering $30 worth of authentic Cajun eats and drinks at Orleans Seafood Kitchen for $15. This authentic eatery is located in Katy, less than 30 minutes outside of Houston, and boasts a thriving bar scene, freshly made sauces, and weekly events.
Jackson Market Fresh Seafood's rotating menu relies on what nearby fishermen can ensnare in their nets, which often includes both freshwater and saltwater crustaceans such as crawfish and blue crabs. Once captured and cleaned, the seafood appears fried on top of po' boy rolls, barbecued on specialty platters, and grilled in baskets alongside fries and sides of butter sauce. Creole-inspired soups and gumbos can be purchased as single servings or by the gallon for filling troughs at seals-only cafeterias.
Inside David's Seafood Kitchen, the vibrant flavors of Cajun cooking are showcased in classic offerings of fresh seafood and down-home sides. Co-owners David and Sunil fill plates with oversized helpings of jambalaya, po' boys, and chicken wings, and they fry or blacken oysters, catfish, and alligator to sizzling perfection. Cold brews pair well with these sumptuous dishes, and a projector screen keeps sports fans or sentient football helmets up to date on Sunday football games.
Blu Water snatches piscine fare fresh from the water before transforming it into the dishes that populate its swiftly served menu. Veggie-centric selections star the grilled-salmon salad, in which strips of succulent salmon, surrounded by grape tomatoes and sweet peppers, lay upon field greens and spot familiar shapes in the clouds above. Pairs swap nibbles from a duet of tacos, made from grilled or panko-breaded fish or shrimp resting in the curves of corn and flour tortillas made in-house daily. Punch dishes with extra flavor from 14 scratch-made sauces, spanning the gamut of spiciness with flavors from mild southwest pesto to fiery mango habanero. A triumvirate of rice bowls blends salmon, cod, shrimp, or chicken into Asian or Cajun flavors. Any taco or sandwich selection, including the shrimp po boy, can transform into a combo meal by stepping into a phone booth, tearing off its business suit, and emerging with a drink and a side. Finally, triangular desserts such as lemon cheesecake play a sugary coda to the aquatic meal.
A native of Taiwan and veteran chef with more than 20 years of experience, Redfish Seafood chef David Chang whips up a culinary cornucopia of fresh seafood dishes that borrow from his experiences working in French, Chinese, and Japanese kitchens. Fresh grouper and bacon-wrapped scallops get a tropical spin thanks to a drizzle of key lime sauce, while parmesan dusted sea bass soaks up the salty notes of a miso reduction. Hot rocks shrimp and stuffed mushrooms provide a poppable prelude to a savory seafood dinner and lobster bisque or gumbo fill the spoons of lads and ladies who lunch. As guests gobble down forkfuls of fresh fish, their eyes take in an ambiance inspired by their own patronage. The second floor of the restaurant showcases a wall mural composed by frequent customer and local artist Ray Shipman, who painted whimsical caricatures of Redfish Seafood regulars. At the second location in Cypress, an aquarium designed and build by chef David himself sets a maritime mood and dazzles diners with its collection of eye-catching fish and their spot-on Don Knotts impersonations.
