Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
If loving extra storage space is wrong, I don't wanna be right. It frustrates me to no end that so many fancy pants (not people, actual clothing) have faux pockets. I try to tuck my wallet into some slacks only to have it fall to the floor.
I fish a lot and that is all I wear when I am out on the boat.
Well I really like AA cargo ... wait I was on auto write. I voted stop wearing them, but they are useful. I have one pair of cargo shorts, no pants.
Shorts. Not a fan of the pants pants, though I suppose if one is useful the other is too. Being a father of a small army, I tend to be the designated holder of things. MOAR POCKETS
Wooter to blame for sellout: SumDuud Sellout time: 8:11:25 AM Central Time
I work IT and I am often carrying around multiple small items so I wear them to work (strangely they fit the dress code.)They are decidedly un-cool but then so is most everything people wear to office jobs and hey, it beats a Man-purse.
Greatest maternity pants ever!!! The light weight doesn't drag them down your butt!! Love them... but still maternity pants so the love is relative.
I wear shorts 10 1/2 months of the year. Cargo shorts only issue is that they won't let me play golf in them. Gotta be golf or Bermuda shorts.
There are other kinds of shorts besides cargo? Boggle.

Yes!! So very good for a dog walker like me; plenty of room for bags, paper towels, treats, a couple toys... Everything I need for a fun, happy walk a pooch pal! =D
Another useful item ruined by yuppie dbags trying to be "trendy." Much like the majority of work boots sold have never seen actual work, 99% of the cargo pockets in the U.S. have been empty for the entire life of the garment.
The last thing I want is pockets down to my knees. Especially if they are full of stuff and keep banging you in the knees or legs when you walk.
Cargo pants: Yes Cargo shorts: Hell no!
Don't care if they are outdated and uncool. I love them. Especially the ones that turn into shorts by unzippering the legs.

I hate those snooty course rules. I can see banning cut off but cargo shorts .... akkk
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what they are. I thought maybe they were those knee-length shorts people wear, but those wouldn't be "pants".

Let me Google that for you.
Shorts yes..... Pants never
cdrewlow wrote:Let me Google that for you.
Tried that, actually. Did you look at the results? Short pants, long pants, pants with lots of pockets, pants with a couple of pockets, loose pants, tight pants, baggy pants, capri pants, khakis, leggings... Judging by Google, cargo pants are "anything not denim".
the pockets on cargo pants/shorts remind me of the saddlebags on a horse.

Well, now. Though shirt.woot is in the business of selling shirts, it does indeed have things other than "freakin' T-shirts." Through its side sales, shirt.woot also offers hoodies, long-sleeved shirts, tote bags, cooking/grilling aprons, tank tops, greeting cards, etc. Each side sale, changing weekly, is different. Do keep an eye on them to see if anything may happen along to meet your approval. Please, though, in the interim: do inform us as to what you believe shirt.woot should be selling for your singularly specific Baby Boomer needs! Tell us about this Plan with which woot should be getting! Shirt.woot welcomes any and all customers' suggestions--one never knows what may come of it!
Hey, can we help this old timer find a cool suspender-a-day website or something?

0Sep 6, '12 by KadambariQuote from Audi5000Thanks for the congratulations! I'm happy for you tooCongratulations Kadambari! I suggest that every keep there Med/Math books to keep yourself familiar with that material. When I took med/Math, my teacher did tell me to keep the book because it was going to come in handy.
I really don't know what to tell you about the Rad Tech program. Do what your heart tells you to do. I'm sure in the end you'll make the decision that makes you happy. Just let us know what you decide.
You don't have to pass the class with 100%. After each nursing semester you have to take a computer test. It does look like you have to pass the test with 100%. -
0Sep 6, '12 by KadambariQuote from BarbellOnlyThank you!! I'm happy for you toocongrats Audi5000 and Kadambari!
kadambari thats hard, I dunno if you could swing both at the same time? and see what you like more, I'm sure thats not possible tho good luck on your decision
I am still in total shock though. I cannot believe it. I seriously did not think I was gonna get in...I need to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming :pinches arm:: I'm fully awake lol
I had SO many people who discouraged me along the way so this really is a huge accomplishment for me. -
0Sep 6, '12 by I no u c meQuote from KadambariHSC 100 is taught by one of the nursing professors. That's how I heard about it. That's why I kept my book. This is the first time I've heard you have to pass with 100%.Thanks for the congratulations! I'm happy for you too
So this applies to every student? I had no idea about this. I am not bad in simple math but I still like room for a lil error in case I get one wrong. I'm a little scared -
1Sep 6, '12 by I no u c meHas anyone noticed that the acceptence letter says to purchase the 5th edition of the Test Success book but the second letter says to purchase the 6th edition?readi13 likes this.
2Sep 6, '12 by I no u c meI'm so excited I don't know what to do with myself. I have to talk to you guys because no one in my family understands how excited I am. I have worked hard, taken classes over and made lots of sacrifices. I don't know where to start. Once I see my great-niece off for her first day of pre-school I'm taking my card in. While I'm there I'm going to speak with them about my current medical condition and the possibilities that may prevent me from being at orientation. If I happen to run into one of you guys I'm the one with the stomach

Thread: Arwen?
June 10th, 2013 08:23 PM #16
I know a woman named Arwen, she's very cool and sophisticated. I really like it.
June 10th, 2013 08:44 PM #18
I think it's one of those LOTR-names that, pretty as they are, will always be too tied with the books.
I love it, but I would never use it because there would be an endless amount of "so Lord of the Rings, huh?". If it's because of the LOTR connection, I'd say that there are several other beautiful names to take from (there are so many beautiful Elvish names).Zelia • Twenty • Film, history and royalty connoisseur • I have a personal blog and one about royaltyExporting old Danish names, Greenlandic names and Greenlandic sibling names
Henry Ásgeirr Edmund • Amaury Charles Théoden "Theo" • Alexander Adelin Lórien "Sasha" • Asa Edouard Ivik
Cosima Ingrid Zenobia "Mimi" • Johanna Ivalo Galadriel "Anna" • Gaia Margaret Undómiel • Asta Catherine Françoise
And for the moment: Atticus Aksel Inigo • Aviaaja Cleopatra Hero "Avi" • Fabiola Agnes Lúthien

My 15-year-old daughter is named Arwen and, believe it or not, we almost never have people mention Lord of the Rings. My daughter loves her name and wears it so beautifully. She gets compliments on her name all the time. We know of two other Arwens in our area. Both are around seven years of age. Speaking from experience, don't let the LOTR association deter you from using such a beautiful name.

Very lovely name. Reminds me of Arden, which has no elvish connections at all. Once people get over asking if you're a Tolkein fan, I'm sure they'll forget the LOTR connection altogether and just think of your girl.

how to make an anchor tag work properly
I have a very very long page - a help page (probably 100 pages long) with lots of anchor tags. The way the page looks like is, at the top of the page there are the links which anchor to the various parts of the page.
My problem is, in the home page I have a link which links to the middle portion of this help page. When the user clicks on the link in the home page, it opens this help page - first to the top of the page, then it automatically moves to the area (anchored area) and at this same time some images are still loading. But once the whole page is finished loading, it suddenly moves to some other section (may be thats the one loaded last). Is there any way to avoid this and make the page load to the correct spot of the page section?

I would suggest splitting the page up into different pages if it's that long... that way a user will not have to download all of the pages just to see the one thing he/she is looking for.

Hi all,
last night we were playing a 3-player game and we went all the way to the final battle. As we were 3, we needed 3 hits to remove one doom token from our GOO. In the first round, we together scored 10 hits, which means 3 doom tokens were removed and 1 hit was "stored" for the next round. During GOO's attack, 2 investigators died, so only 1 remained for the next attack and therefore he needed only 1 hit to remove doom token. During his roll, he scored 2 hits. And now comes the question: does he remove 3 doom tokens for his 2 hits and that 1 hit "stored" from the previous round? Or since that 1 hit was scored when 3 players were still alive, it doesn't count anymore? Or do we play something completely wrong with our hits?
Thanks for any advice!

BOSTON — Count Pedro Martinez among those unhappy that Jon Lester is no longer with the Red Sox.
"I'm against seeing him leave," said Martinez, employed as a special assistant in Boston's front office and at Fenway Thursday to be inducted into the franchise's Hall of Fame. "Openly, I want to say I'm not happy that Lester is not here. I would like him to come back. I hate to see that Lester is gone because he's a workhorse, he's a good example in the clubhouse, he's a role model in society. He's everything you need for a young group of guys developing."
Martinez may not bang the drum of every team needing an ace at the top of its rotation if it hopes to contend, but the right-hander does think a rotation needs a stabilizing, veteran presence — like Lester.
"I had so many other guys that showed me the way to handle myself in situations, to actually stay relaxed when the game really matters, when the situations call for someone to be cool on the mound and be able to think right and keep the poise on top of the mound," Martinez recalled. "You need someone to show you how those things are done."
That's especially true of a Red Sox organization with a bevy of young pitching prospects with no clear role model in the clubhouse. After dealing Lester, John Lackey and Jake Peavy all in the same week, Boston is left with Clay Buchholz as the staff foreman.
"For these kids, especially so young, it would be unfair to ask them to be all the things they don't know how to be," continued Martinez. "So they need someone to guide them. I'm not saying those kids are not capable of becoming aces, but they need guidance. And I think that's where a veteran pitcher will probably play a role with these kids.
"Lester is one of the guys that we have to really hope that he comes back. He's probably the right guy to have in front of all those young kids developing."
Red Sox manager John Farrell said a veteran leader is "helpful" if not "a must" for his team.
"Experience is one thing, but talent is clearly the most important," he said. "We feel like we've got talent in this rotation as it stands, and I know that Ben will continue to do whatever he can to improve the team…. We'll see what's available as we get into the offseason to add that component to our rotation, too."
Nomar Garciaparra, also going into the Red Sox Hall of Fame Thursday, reflected upon what it was like to be traded away from Boston as a homegrown star, much the way Lester was.
"All of a sudden, you're' in a whole new environment. This is probably the place he wanted to start and finish his entire career," Garciaparra said of Lester. "He knows what it's meant and what he's meant to this organization, as well. When you go through your first trade, it's tough because your whole world kind of gets flipped upside down, especially when you've been with an organization for so long."
Even Roger Clemens, also being inducted, would like to see Lester back with the Red Sox.
"That's a great idea. I think this is a pretty good home for him," he said. "I just enjoy watching him pitch. I like his mindset. You see guys like Jon get over the hump and know they belong and then just blossom into a great pitcher. It's incredible."
Clemens spent some time Thursday praising the veterans who helped steer him in the right direction in Boston, mentioning Jim Rice, Dwight Evans and Rich Gedman by name.
"I think about all the guys early in my career that showed me the ropes, not only on the field but behind the scenes. I was 21 years old, so that was great to have some veteran players around you to kind of sit back and watch," he said. "That goes along with Tom Seaver, in the short period of time I got to play with Seaver here. I got to sit and watch. That's how I learned pitching."

Rebecca Judd[1][2] (née Twigley) (born 27 January 1983) is an Australian model, television presenter and the wife of Australian Football League player Chris Judd.
Judd is currently host of Victorian based travel program Postcards and weekend weather presenter on Nine News Melbourne.
Following the Brownlow presentation, Judd received a number of offers from Australian television networks.[3] Her first television role was as a guest presenter on Nine Perth program Just Add Water.[4] Judd also presented a news report about Melbourne Cup fashion for Seven News in October 2006.[5]
The following year, Judd started presenting the weekend weather for Seven News in Perth. Her presenting role drew criticism from some public, who complained that she looked anorexic. She spoke out against the claims, saying that she had never suffered from an eating disorder and she believed the fuss was due to her relationship with Chris Judd. Seven News director Shaun Menegola said it was a shame Judd had been attacked by some viewers and explained that her tall stature meant she looked thinner on camera.[6]
She is also a fashion ambassador for Myer, attending events such as the Melbourne Cup and the Australian Open golf.
In 2011, Judd joined the Nine Network as host of Victorian based travel program Postcards. She filled in for Livinia Nixon presenting the weather on Nine Afternoon News and Nine News Melbourne whilst Nixon was on maternity leave with her second child.
In April 2014, Judd was appointed weekend weather presenter on Nine News Melbourne.[7]
In May 2014, Judd designed a capsule fashion collection with Australian fashion brand Skin and Threads.[8]
In September 2004, Judd received considerable media attention due to wearing a revealing red dress to the Brownlow Medal presentation. The dress was custom-made by Perth designer Ruth Tarvydas and was valued at A$2000.[9] Although Chris Judd, at that time her boyfriend, won the Brownlow Medal, much of the media attention focused on Judd's dress.[10] Judd received more hits on Australian news website news.com.au than did the crowning of Miss Universe 2004, Jennifer Hawkins, surpassing all previous records for a single news day.[11] AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou described Judd as one of the 20 highlights of the 2004 AFL season.[10] Speaking about the dress, Judd said: "I really didn't think it would grab that much attention, but I got hounded on the red carpet. Everyone wanted an interview and pictures."[9] The media still refers to her dress as "that dress".[5]
Radio presenter Jon Faine criticised Judd's choice of fashion, saying that: "A lot of effort has gone in this season by football codes... to try to stop footballers looking at women as objects as nothing other than sexual desire or bits of meat and flesh... It's kind of like they are undoing all the work that was done earlier in the season." Colleague Virginia Trioli disagreed, saying that "They are powerful, individual, attractive, strong women who want to look nice." Trioli's comments were directly opposite of her earlier views about not seeing women in a sexual way. Trioli was proved wrong[neutrality is disputed] when Twigley covered up the following year.[12]
Judd donated the dress to national children's charity TLC for Kids. The dress was auctioned off in October 2004, going for A$23,000.[13] TLC later rejected the winning bid when it discovered the buyer had links to adult dating agency RedHotPie. The charity then offered the underbidders the dress, but later changed their mind because they could not guarantee media coverage for the purchaser. The dress was returned to Judd, who donated it to Chris Judd's then football club, the West Coast Eagles.[14]
In September 2007, Judd announced that she would be moving to Melbourne with then boyfriend Chris Judd. She completed her studies in speech and language pathology at La Trobe University in 2008 and worked in adult rehabilitation at the Alfred Hospital.
On 31 December 2010, Judd (née Twigley) married Chris Judd at Melbourne's Carousel at Albert Park[15] and officially adopted her husband's surname.[1][2] They have a son, Oscar Dylan (born July 2011) and a daughter, Billie Kate (born February 2014).

I purchased my first brug at a plant sale this spring. It is doing well, but is only 18" to 2' tall and has started blooming. The first bloom is touching the ground. Should I prune these flowers until the plant has grown bigger? Any advice is welcome!! Also, will it come back as a perineal if I just leave it in the ground? I'm in SC, 7b-8a. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Leave the bloom and enjoy it! Don't know about your weather, but if harsh, take cuttings or dig it up and store over the winter. |

I'm from Poland, and I see, that whenever a politician from my country is doing something good, he is criticized in western media. It works both way. Our current extremely incompetent prime minister Donald Tusk, who is perhaps worst prime minister Poland ever had, receives a lot of praise abroad, especially in Germany.
For me, an enormous amount of bad press Hungarian government have, implicates, that this government is simply acting in Hungarian national interest.
I hope, that one day someone like Orban will rule in Poland.
Once again, good old fashioned propaganda.
"Hungary never had a proper transition from Communism, they argue."
They argue... Right. Why no examination of the facts? Very simple just look at the personal in various positions of power, were they completely removed or stayed the same?
Judges - 100% of communist judges remained in position after the "transition"
Journalists 97% of communist journalist after the "transition"
Economic decision makers of course remained in position, as well as old communists transforming their political connection into immense wealth (Think Gyurcsany, Bajnai, Leisztinger, etc).
So where was a transition at all? Come to think of it almost 25 years later and the same COMMUNIST judges are still in position in many cases and this time they have a new champion! Their comrades in the EU are ready to defend these communist judges, who should have all been removed in 1989-90 but they were never removed. And now a few of them were forced to retire on a lavish pension and the EU comrades were up in arms. How dare Hungary get rid of some of the communist judges, that is outragous.
Of course when Germany was reunited they fired ALL the communist judges, and the EU did not as much as lift a finger to defend them.
No double standard at all...
The Economist publishes yet another propaganda article for the Hungarian left.
It was absolutely silent when the ex-communists beat up protesters in 2006. Didn't hear much from Human Rights Watch back then either. HRW whinges ignorantly about Hungarian constitutional law when it ignored citizens been beaten by police in the streets.
There is much complaining about Orbans alleged changes of personnel. I didn't hear them whinging much when the ex-communists fired people after their election in 2002 who were previously appointed by the previous Fidesz government. I'm told a similar thing happens in Spain. It's an occupational hazard for senior people in the bureaucracies of new democracies.
Indeed this guard-changing is a feature of new democracies. Perhaps it's not the ideal centuries old "independent and neutral" Whitehall mandarin model favoured by the Economist and the 'impartial' beaurocrats of the EU - who have a democratic mandate of nil when compared with the current Hungarian govt.
This guard-changing model was indeed formalised back in founding days of the US when it too was a new democracy.
Now the Hungarian left hypocritically takes to labelling such guard-changing "undemocratic" when they discover that they are not making the appointments this time.
Nor will they for some time... given that they spend most of their time trying to persuade NGOs, the US and the EU of the non-existent threat to democracy from Orban rather than trying to win the argument with Hungarian citizens ahead of the 2014 elections.
If Orban was the anti-democrat of liberal-leftist myth then he could easily have engineered a popular coup in 2006 and the outcome, personally, for the ex-communists could have been much more severe. (I was there at the time and a coup would not have surprised at all such was the hatred for the lying ex-communists who'd just admitted to "lying morning, noon and night to win that [2006] election".)
Economics note:
I normally would tear into the biased reporting of the economics statistics fournished by the Ecommunist in support of their anti-Orban rant at this point but am out of time...but I cannot resist one comment...
"Hungary has the highest government debt in central Europe" or words to that effect - without mentioning that CE countries debt/GDP ratios are low in general. The figure for 2012Q4 is 79.2 (Eurostat) and has been declining. For perspective the figure for the EU27 is 85.4%, Germany 81.9%,Spain 84.1%, UK 90.0%, France 90.4%. Interestingly 10 year yields have been declining from just below 9% a year ago to just below 6% now so foreign investors are flowing the opposite direction to the one implied by the Ecommunist!
I would reelect Fidesz solely on the grounds that they kept the IMF vulchers away and are starting to turn the economy around. It literally makes me feel sick to think the IMF could have done to Hungary what they did to Greece - i.e., cause the worst economic collapse of nation during peace time, forcing millions of people into hardship, misery and even suicide.
I think, more than anything, what has spooked investors, has been the campaign of denigration carried on by institutions, politicians, and the western media, much of which is unjustified.
Here are some examples: Just over a year ago, The Economist carried a piece, arguing that because Hungary turned its back on the IMF, while its not so friendly neighbour Romania has been a good student of the IMF, Hungary is doomed. Currently, Hungary sells its local currency denominated debt at a lower interest rate than Romania, which still has an IMF program, and has made many "reforms", which benefited everyone except that country.
Then of course there is the issue of Antisemetism: Every time a Hungarian passes gas towards a Jew, the international media is on it. But not long ago, in Romania at a convention of the Romanian academic society, a historian made a statement, denying Romania's role in the Holocaust, which was greeted with cheers and aplause by Romania's intelectual elites, yet I bet no one ever heard about this incident.
In Romania, the property of the Hungarian Reformed Church is being re-nationalized, using the not so clean court system, and ethnic Hungarians are subjected to regular mistreatment in the Romanian legal system. Mr Tokes Laszlo went to complain to EU justice minister Viviane Redding, and he was basically told to take a hike. On the other hand, she jumps on every little thing that happens in Hungary, most of which is not as grave as what happens in Romania.
Last year S&P downgraded Hungary once more, despite the fact that it was only one of three countries in Europe to reduce its debt/deficit ratio.
These are just some of the examples of the double standards aplied, which all stem from the fact that Hungary decided to do what everyone else should have done in this recesion, and that is make the ones responsible share in the pain, not just the average people subjected to austerity.
So this is how Victor Orban came to be known as Hitler & Stalin re-incarnated all in one package.
I wonder when there will be an article in the Economist about Slovakia, about its assimilation policies against Hungarians, about its racist politicians instead of the usual senseless lament about the "stand of democracy in Hungary".
It is so boring that if a Hungarian mentions the problems that is important for him/her, it is always disregarded as "whining"...
So if a jew talks about the holocaust, is it "whining"?
If a woman talks about gender discrimination, is that "whining"?
Disregarding human rights issues of the Hungarian minorities as "whining" (by the way a problem caused by the British and the French) is juts another sign of western arrogance and double standards.
" At the end of May, parliament passed a law that increases surveillance of high-level public officials and drops the requirement of court approval for such snooping."
This, coming from the Economist a newspaper who knows something about secrecy right? (Bilderberg group, anyone?)
This sentence written on the same day when it is revealed that the United States of america implemented government surveillance of ALL it's citizens (not High-level public officials, LOL), and a good part of world citizens.
But of course the Economist is always very clever when finding things to criticize in Hungary, even if without any basis.
But I wonder how will they explain away the mass surveillance employed in their beloved US, a shining beacon of democracy.
Probably by a sort of omerta, a code of silence when it comes to uncomfortable issues. The Economist only likes to attack percieved easy targets.
These stories on Orbán and Hungary are getting a little bit boring....
We'we been reading the same reports for three years now in The Economist and its friends of the horrible political situation in Hungary. Yet the economy is slowly returning two growth after a recession which started in 2006 under the socialists, years before the global crisis hit Europe. Hungary, under the leadership of Orbán seems to handle the record floods better than the almighty Germans. And despite all the nice articles in this and similar Western newspapers, the media in Hungary is free and thriwing (two liberal news websites started in the last few weeks).
Elections are coming in less than a year, if The Economist is right, Orbán is set for catastrophic results. Maybe you are in for a surprise...
"how the government has clipped the wings of the constitutional court, which lost its prerogative to review the substance of constitutional changes."
The same bold faced lie repeated ad nauseam still just becomes a bold faced lie. The Hungarian constitutional court NEVER had the right to review constitutional changes. There was not a single word in the constitution in the past 25 years that would allow for such a right. In addition the court itself acknowledged this in at least 7 different decisions in the past 20 years.
In addition the whole argument supposing that the court EVER had this right is just plain retarded. The whole basis of the court's work is the constitution it must follow it to the letter, but what could it follow if it's allowed to pick and choose between constitutional provisions. How would it arrive at a decision, by bird signs? Animal sacrifice? The whole thing is laughable on it's face because there are no specific provisions in the HC that are stronger than others, every word, every sentence has the same legal power. This type of power only possible for the court in countries with a two-tiered constitution.
Only the Parliament has the power to write the constitution, separation of powers, remember? The constitutional court has no right to alter a comma in the constition, and never had that right ever in it's existence. The best proof is that in the past 25 years, the CC really did not alter even a single comma. Why? Because it had no right to. Saying otherwise is pure propaganda, lie and a hate campaign in which the Economist willingly participates.
Europe has a history of coddling people like Viktor Orban out of fear that an even worse party (or person) could replace them. In this case it is fear of the far-right Hungarian "Jobbik" party. This history speaks for itself: coddling people like Orban has never worked, and usually backfires in one way or another.
Orban and his "Fidesz" ("Young Democrats")party are slowly and methodically dismantling Hungary's democracy right in front of Europe's eyes. Already, he has made it nearly impossible for any other party to win in the next elections: beside all the legal changes made which entrench his party, giving the vote to ethnic Hungarians outside Hungary's borders (who are understandably grateful), he has practically guaranteed himself the ability to win any close vote.
Europe needs to stand up forcefully to this threat to democracy, including threatening to expel Hungary from the EU, or the problem will only worsen. History speaks for itself.
"So when the wunderkind of Hungarian politics returned to power with a landslide victory in April 2010, expectations were high, both at home and abroad. But a different Mr Orban seems to have come back to the prime minister's office in the crimson-domed, neo-gothic parliamentary building on the bank of the Danube (pictured) in the centre of Budapest. Over the past three years Mr Orban has antagonised foreign allies, fallen out with friends and provoked alarm at the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament. Now in his third year back in power, Mr Orban is close to becoming the pariah of the EU."
Hungary did not change too much, but the country has realized that joining the famous "EU" has not brought any welfare to Hungary at all only losses, heavy losses. The things got even worse than before the EU. Not because the Hungarians do not work enough or less but the EU system itself makes the small and relatively poor countries smaller and poorer in the long run. This is what Hungary has experienced since 2004. No wonder the people do not like too much the globalist autocratic associations like IMF, EU dictates, etc. They do not bring any good for the country and the people can feel it on their own skin whatever the Western media tries to push into the mind of the Western people. The pure truth is concerning all the matters Hungary has lost a lot with joining the EU or at least has not won too much. No any major factor, area what we could mention has grown significantly. (It was all promised.)
Which has been going against Hungary in the past years is a disgraceful thing which has no real base at all. Sorry, but if the Hungarians do not want the communist-neoliberal government back the whole nation is being stigmatized??? Is this the "Western democracy"? If yes, that is shame not for Hungary but for the "Western civilization". You can't tell from London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels what Hungary should do in every matters as no one in Hungary wants to tell what and how the things should go in the UK, Germany or France or in Brussels! It is simple as that. If Western Europe cannot (actually does not want to) understand that, this shameful campaign will be going on against Hungary.
Isn't it funny, how the Economist graph doesn't show you any debt or deficit data pre 2010? Making it impossible to compare the Orban government's result with that of previous MSZP-SZDSZ government? No wonder the Economist is trying it's best to hide the data you mention. It does not fit into their agenda, and they want to avoid showing a true picture at all costs. Because if based on the data someone were to think that the Orban government did a several times better job at tackling the deficit and debt then it is a problem for them. The other point where you can see this is the fact that Hungary was in the EDP for 9 years and during the 8 years of MSZP-SZDSZ they NEVER had under 3% deficit, and had increasing debt every single year. And now Hungary will soon leave the EDP after 9 years and instead of writing an article about this they give a single sentence to the matter.
An allaged economic magazine...
Ouch! It must be a tough job to work as the Hungarian correspondent of the Economist. How many ways can you sell the same story? Of course while repeating the catchphrases as often as possible. I am sorry, but I can't find similar articles in your respected newspaper from before the 2010 elections. Nothing on the record public debts in the 00's, nothing on the economic collapse in 2008, nothing on police brutality against demonstrators in 2006, nothing on the Roma killings in 2009. Somehow Hungary only became interesting to the Economist since Orbán's landslide victory in the 2010 elections. Maybe it is time to find some other country to write about...
90 % propaganda, but at least some basic numbers are stated.
It could also be useful to show the budget deficit and the debt of previous governments.
1998-2002: Debt went down from 57% to 50%.
2002-2010: Debt increased from 50% to 80%.
Another important factor is the foreign currency debt of the 2002-2010 period, which was handled by the government after 2010 quite well.
Indeed, in 2010 they brought back the country from a position close to the point of no return.
The Orban of 1998-2002 as "the best Prime Minister Hungary had since the end of Communism"? In whose myopic eyes?
He rode in on the economic coattails of the preceding Socialist government's painful reforms, reaped the harvest and then threw the reins among the horses. He started the heavy borrowing and handouts to friendly oligarchs that were then gleefully continued first by the Socialists and by his own government after 2010.
Hungary's economic decline, obvious against the likes of Slovakia, is the fruit of Orban MkI. Not to mention the Balkanization of Hungarian politics ...
The Viktor Orban who came to power is 2010 was no different than the one who left in 2002.
The contempt for democratic processes, the need to ruffle feathers and to collude with the far right were all there.
The difference was that the earlier Orban was head of a coalition cabinet, whereas the second had a supermajority to do whatever he liked.
I trust your correspondent has not fallen for the ruling party's oft-peddled line (trotted out by Mr Szijjarto here) that Hungary's economy was seriously worse off in 2010 than it is today. State debt remains near 80% of GDP, and this after the wholesale confiscation of private pensions (what's that going to do for state debt in the future?) after systematically alienating foreign investors and managing the economy so well that Hungary's debt is now below investment grade.
Likewise, no one should believe that the "pressure for change" referred to by Orban's security advisor was greater from below than from the party hierarchy. What pressure there was was to ram through wide-ranging legislation, often changing the constitution before the public could react. The "legislative avalanche" was largely made up of far-reaching "private member's bills" that bypassed public scrutiny or comment.
Had any mention been made of constitutional change during the 2010 election campaign, then there would be a modicum of plausibility to the party line that the people demanded it.
To suggest that action should not be taken for fear of increasing support for the far right is to enter onto a slippery slope, as well as to absolve Orban of his role in lending respectability to such extremist views. Orban and his party threw away an election they were expected to win in 2002, largely by tacking further to the right in order to attract the votes of the anti-Semitic MIEP party - a party that had tacitly co-operated with during that parliamentary term.
After the voters opted instead for his centre-left rivals, Orban declared "Hungary has lost". Does that sound like a person who understands or respects democratic processes?
@csomole. You write: 'The Orban of 1998-2002 as "the best Prime Minister Hungary had since the end of Communism"? In whose myopic eyes?'
E.g. in my myopic eyes: In 2000 we had 3.5% budget deficit, in 2001 4.2%. External debt was 53% of GDP.
Inflation, GDP growth, employment data was better than that of the previous socialist-liberal coalition and much better than the corresponding data after 2002.
"1) those who dare to raise their eyebrow about certain measures curbing the Rule of Law "
You claim to be worried about the rule of law, yet on the day that everyone is talking about how the US has zero rule of law, and instead has wiretapping and surveillance of hundreds of millions going DIRECTLY against the US constitution, you talk about Hungary.
2) overall, "Rule of Law" is such a trivial and lame concept.
Except Hungary does have rule of law. You are thinking of the US as the place without any rule of law. You know the country where Edward Snowden lived before he fled to China? If you want to see a totalitarian, orwellian state of absolute Big Brother, look no further than the US.
Oh I almost forgot. The United Kingdom also participated in the PRISM program willingly. So for example the Economist journalist were probably spied on and their emails stored by both the US and the UK authorities.
History is literally made before our eyes in these few days, the world will change forever by these revelations by the excess of the US abuses there will be enormous pushback. But of course you think Hungary is the problem.
How typical.
"I am a lawyer from Hungary and fully share the view of Civil War"
Just a fair warning that you should know: people who start civil wars in order to get their way are usually the first to die in a civil war.
If you have an inability to respect the democratic process, such as the result of the elections of 2010 you should find an alternative.
A better solution is for you and your kind is if you leave and never come back.

Do you "Tiller People" go the extra mile, and get things like those piston-like auto-pilots and such things?
I do miss feeling the wind in the sails - really feeling it - the way I could in my Coronado 15 with it's centerboard and 360 lbs total weight. The tiller and tiller extension were like dental tools (compared to my C22, now). I can really see what you guys are talking about with wanting to maintain that sense of it.
I'd love to get a tiller pilot for longer trips but for now I endure the tyranny of the tiller. I can get my Tartan 27' to hold some points of sail reliably by tuning the sail balance and using the center board to adjust the center of effort. I can let the boat sail itself and walk away from the tiller for short periods.
I haven't tried this on my boat yet but there is a trick where you tie the active jib sheet to the tiller and the boat will head upwind in gusts. Try that one with wheel steering.
The feedback from the tiller is the thing I miss most when I sail on my friends 32' wheel equipped boat on the Chesapeake. I find I always have to visualize the rudder angle from the wheel which is not nearly as intuitive as a tiller setup. It is much easier with a wheel to make steering mistakes than with a tiller.
I'm teaching 12 - 16 year olds to sail Sunfish sailboats right now. I'm quite accustomed to telling them: "No, your other left!" when they push the tiller the wrong way. Some of them get it right away, some don't.
Jon Eisberg said what I was thinking but more eloquently.
Larry may still be crazy after all these years. Which Larry?

Platinum miner shares down
Comment on this storyShares of the world's biggest platinum producers, Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum, fall as Amplats warns on profits and price of the precious metal falls.
Implats trades 2.77 percent lower at 131.49 rand, the biggest loser on the Top-40 index, while Amplats extended losses to be 2 percent lower after it says it expects first-half earnings to fall more than 20 percent on depressed sales and prices.
Spot platinum was 0.75 percent lower at $1,434.75 an ounce, hit by Asian data. The data shows a factory slump in Asia's two biggest exporters China and Japan deepened in June as crumbling orders from abroad dragged activity to seven-month lows, heightening worries that the health of the global economy is deteriorating. - Reuters

Flashback Friday: The First Music Video by Rihanna! (VIDEO)
Who's that girl? Rihanna has certainly changed her image since first hitting the scene in 2005. Hard to believe that only six short years ago, she was virtually unknown.
She's come quite a long way from the young lady we see here, with her long, honey-brown hair and street clothes -- complete with baggy jeans. Yes, she used to wear pants!
One thing remains the same, however. She's still smoking hot:
The song, called "Pon de Replay," is from her debut studio album Music of the Sun.
Although it did well on the charts, her defining hit "Umbrella" would come two years later off her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad.

Pssst! Got a sec to chat?
We are utterly thrilled when readers want to hang out and talk – whether it's amongst themselves or in response to pieces we've posted. We want Eatocracy to be a cozy, spirited online home for those who find their way here. Consider the daily Coffee Klatsch post as your VIP lounge – the primary comments thread for readers who'd like to chat about topics not related to the articles we're running. That way, everyone knows where to find each other, and each post's comments section remains on topic.
I guess some folks REALLY love to vote...
I do that through the Burger King Drive through. I always ask for no mayo.
This just in: Marijuana legalization efforts are expected to pass today in both Washington State and in Colorado. No matter who wins the presidential race, this effort will be sorely needed.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled Eatocracy.
Wow man. That's far out.

Perhaps a new shop is in order.
Keep in mind that the basement, spare bedroom, attic, garage and crawlspace can all be rented out at reasonable rates...:)
OMG I *love* the cups in today's picture... where can I get them?
Voted before work, and wasn't even late!
Try this on for size Darlin'...Not exact, but fairly close...
Morning Crew!
Very interesting, thanks for posting. I echo many of his sentiments having just gone through it. I am dismayed and hurt at the number of my co-workers who still expected business as usual during the aftermath of the storm. I had no way to connect to my work systems, could not post an "out of office" message, and how do people react? I actually got escalated to my manager (who was well aware of my plight) twice!!
After I came back on line, and replied to this person's "urgent" request, I accompanied it by telling him that his concern for his fellow worker needed help. His reply...first to apologize, but then quickly back to defending his action "since we're all one list away from a resource action".
What are we turning into?
Slaves of the greedy corporate juggernauts ... IOW, what TWO said.
Most workplaces these days seem to resemble "Lord of the Flies" with free coffee.
Sorry for what you have had to live with recently. Glad to see you back in action.
I think the guy is scared about loosing his job... perhaps even paranoid.
Good morning everyone!
Good morning all, after a day off yesterday. Now if only I could decide who to vote for...If only I had seen an election advertisement, maybe then I would have an idea. I am so undecided...
*head explodes*
Good morning folks! I'm headed to the polls this morning. Lucky for me, I vote in a very small town, and it never takes more than 5 minutes. For you guys that have to wait hours to vote, you have my deepest sympathy. Why in this day & age, does it take so long to vote? I think that is just shameful, especially when a lot of folks have to take a day off from work just to cast their ballot. Just not right! Anyway, grab your coffee & one of those red, white, and blue doughnuts and head for that line. Have a great day all!
I don't live in a small town, but, I was in & out in less than 15min's! They have a great crew & set up there, which really helps. I feel bad for the people that have to wait forever, also. At least it doesn't stop them!
Hello everyone. Be sure and vote today. AleeD, loved your bologna comment!
I liked yours on the Bourdain thread. ^_^
Morning, everyone! I'm voting at lunchtime. As ironies go, the one thing that didn't blow away during the storms here were the election signs....sure enough, the day after I was driving around, seeing the trees down, power lines down and a general mess, but those signs were still there.
Lol, funny how that works! Glad everything is ok with you, that must have been frightening.
Good morning all. Going to vote after work. Thanks for the dog nuts MT. Craziness continues at work. Anyone know of an engineering manager type who's looking for a job? Have him/her leave their resume on the newly sanitized Cold Stone in the dungeon – with many thanks.
Good am eveyone! In honor of election day, I left ya some red, white, & blue doughnuts & some "to go" cups for your coffee. Grab what ya want & eat while waiting in line at the polls. Have a good day!

Great tour! Picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off at the same. My driver was great and very friendly. The guide at the Taj got me in around all the lines and security. This tour highly recommended!

This tour was excellent. Reccomend going on a sunday due to lower traffic in Delhi. We had no traffic issues along the way. Stay hydrated! The Taj is beautiful but the inside portion is very hot and crowded. Be on your toes for pick pockets inside the Taj. No need to get one of the many photographers to follow you. You can take plenty of pics yourself and your guide can snap photos too. At Fort, be sure and look up. There are monkees, bats, and parrots to be seen in addition to the wonderful fort. Make sure the guide tells you the history of the Black Taj Mahal. It's almost as fascinating as the Taj itself.

Classic from 1979. Lluis Porqueras has always sought an absolute simplicity in his designs, doing away with everything superfluous to leave the essence of the useful, simple object.
The lamp derives its name from the concept of a 'funicular' action; moving up and down. The mechanism for raising and lowering the lamp uses a pair of clips which make it very easy to change the height of the shade and the shade itself can be rotated 360°. The bottom of the base is rubber for extra stability and the lamp is available in five colours.

Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards: A Tale of Edward Drinker Cope, Othniel Charles Marsh, and the Gilded Age of Paleontology The Wild West provided the setting for some famous battles, but the gunfight at O.K. Corral doesn't hold a candle to the Bone Wars. Following the Civil War, the (Re-)United States turned its attention to the unexplored territories between the Mississippi and the Pacific. The railroads led the way, and to build them we blasted through mountains and leveled valleys and exposed rock that hadn't seen the light of day for millions of years. This is the story of Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, two scientists who found and fought for those bones, and the artist Charles R. Knight who almost single-handedly brought dinosaurs back to life for an awestruck public. Guest starring Chief Red Cloud and hundreds of his Indian Braves, the gun-totin' and gamblin' Professor John Bell Hatcher, colossal and stupefying Dinosauria of the New World, and featuring special appearances by The Cardiff Giant, P.T. Barnum, Buffalo Bill Cody, Ulysses S. Grant, Alexander Graham Bell, and a plentiful supporting cast of Rogues and Gallants from the Eastern Scientific Establishment and The Old West, the colorful supporting cast makes for a rich blend of history, adventure, science, and art.

Grandma's Gone, But She Lives On In Google
By editor
Dustin Moore of Portland, Oregon, was browsing around town on Google Street View when he spotted a familiar face. The image taken of his late grandma Alice's house captured her sitting on her front stoop, soaking up some sun and reading the paper. Moore says it's one of the last photos taken of her — she died last year.
