John McCain surfaced long enough to throw a few more harpoons at the Republican Conservatives with his endorsement of Mitch McConnell and the so-called 'gang of six'. John has had experience with gangs, remember? It's easy to see that McCain is as wrong-headed on this as he is on illegals.
His mantra in an interview he did on Sean Hannity's radio program was "We don't have the votes, we don't have the votes". Please, John… you're really peeing on the parade. Be like the 'Old Soldier' and 'just fade away'.
In fact, Republicans and a few Democrat allies in the Senate came within three Democrat votes of passing the bill. With the economy in shambles it should be possible to turn some of the Democrat Senators that are facing re-election… instead of having our efforts scattered all over hell n' gone with self-seeking RINO politicians showboating with harebrained schemes, which only work to further the shadow of Marxist domination over this country.
All I know is that my state, my county, my city and my friends are hurting. I don't know of one person or family who has not been impacted by the wildly irresponsible spending gorge that Obama's government has orchestrated. People go around with worried expressions. They aren't spending any more money than they absolutely have to. They plan their trips, even around town, to use the least amount of fuel possible.
People are hoarding food… this isn't like the millennium. People see what's going on or, more precisely, what isn't going on in this country, and they are very worried and are being even more conservative about the way they lead their day to day lives.
The word out here is 'no more taxes… no debt increase'. For us, 2012 just can't come fast enough.

I sincerely hope that's not what's going on, but hope is a thin thread on which to hang the survival of our representative republican form of government. Uh, to those brain-lesioned 'progressives' out there… we do not, as the Lame Stream Press is so fond of stating, live in a democracy. True democracies are nut houses… a little like the current administration. But then, the DeMarxist party has been a squirrel cage for a long time.
It took a national malaise, coupled by an almost historical disregard of facts by adults in this nation who should have known better, to bring us to this pass in which our nation at present finds itself.
With regard to the issue of the debt ceiling. I'm of the firm belief that this is where we have to make our stand. Either this leadership, this Republican Congress, recognizes that we simply cannot do it, we can't spend more!, or else…
Boehner's bold statement saying that we won't allow one dollar in spending without a dollar in spending cuts… What!? Uh, John. Don't you think that's a little 'harsh'? After all, we're only in the hole by 14 or 15 trillion dollars. Good gravy! What the hell does it take to get through to these knotheads?
And now… wait until you hear this… Mitch McConnell, arch RINO, is calling for la grande accorde. "Why, it's time for both sides to come together in the 'great deal'." Why do I sense McCain in this too… Or maybe he's too busy pushing illegal alien amnesty.
I don't know about you, but somehow I don't see such a liaison as a happy ending for us… the American patriot, citizen and taxpayer. I, for one, am sick to death of their stupid games. One can only assume they haven't gotten the message.
We get a wide variety of comments here, some from quite surprising sources. I'm not in the poll or prediction business, but we do get a pretty good feel for the mood of the country on issues. I'm here to tell you that nothing has changed. The anger is still boiling just below the surface… and the undeniable truth is in front of each and every citizen's nose every time they have to buy gas or go to the grocery store. Every time I see a one dollar and sixty cent item selling for close to four dollars, I think of who and what is responsible… and I'm not alone.
This 2012 election is ours to lose. What really scares me is that the Republicans are plenty stupid enough to lose it for us.
If that sounds harsh then perhaps the Republican leadership should look really closely at themselves and ask themselves just exactly who they're working for, because right now, quite frankly, they're not looking all that hot.
Sixty billion is the figure being cast about as the spending reductions for this budget. Another thirty billion was proposed but was not taken up by Republicans, for some unknown reason. I've really been concerned about what I perceive to be a demarcation in the party between the 'old' party members and the new conservatives.
As a quick for instance… look at good old reliable John McCain… now that he's won re-election for another six years, we the American people, and especially his constituents, can collectively go to hell as he reverts to type. He nearly got whiplash running to kiss Barack Obama's butt. Then he has the nerve to tell us that he 'thinks he can work' with Obama.
We seem to remember John working with 'others'. They called it the gang of fourteen… they called it the McCain-Feingold assault on the First Amendment… they called it the Illegal Amnesty Act. Remember? I sure do. John hasn't wasted any time either. He's got his pet amnesty act out again and he's dusting it off.
John's just one guy, but he's not alone. I've said this before… the times are past where Conservatives can afford to be burdened with wishy-washy moderate 'Republicans' who run into accommodation mode at the very first sign of a fight.
Sixty billion? A hundred billion? That's a joke, right? We're upside down 1.7 trillion dollars this year alone, and we're dabbling with a hundred billion in 'proposed' cuts! We're sick of the timidity and the outright cowardice shown by the Repubic leadership. If we get any more disappointed, that whole mess may be out of a job. So far, the only ones who have remained faithful to the mandate of the voters are the Patriot Tea Party freshmen. That says worlds about the party leadership.
It's a little like what just occurred on the House floor. We thought we were sending tiger sharks in there to shred the unbelievably irresponsible spending of this government. Instead, we get these timid little mice nibbling away at the fringes of that megalithic monstrosity, the house that Obama built.
I'm afraid there are going to need to be more serious changes in the Republican Party if we are to succeed in saving the country. 2012 is going to be another watershed… but what will be shed will be the timid, the weak, the lame and the lazy. We warned them.
Hey, folks! Don't get big heads over this, but the responses the Tea Party groups and Patriot organizations have been getting from you has them growing by leaps and bounds. The results we've been having, getting the Conservative message out in our own blocks, streets, cities and towns, has been nothing less than spectacular.
People who have never before in their lives been politically active are joining in some numbers. Disaffected, burnt out or just plain disgusted Democrats are coming into our movement in increasing numbers. The all important independents are here in strength… these folks are tending toward strong Conservatism. And finally, the Conservatives themselves, the ones who were so disgusted that they just picked up their marbles and went home and stayed home clear through the 2008 presidential race, virtually ensuring an Obama victory, are back.
As ugly and painful as these two years have been, there's no way the country would have rebelled against John McCain as they have against Barack Hussein Obama's Marxist power grab. Oh, there would have been plenty of dissent to McCain, but nothing even approaching the tidal wave of voter retribution that has been heating to a slow boil since 2008.
Americans are such a rare breed. The left and other fringe nut cakes really don't understand what a great and special place this is, this America. It exists nowhere else on Earth and nothing like it has ever been seen before.
The Conservative rebellion is here. I'm proud of my fellow Americans. For a very long time, I would go about my business mumbling, "How long are we going to take this crap?" and "When are we going to stand up and fight?" Well, we're not taking it any more, and the time is now. The smell of freedom is here and it's really exciting.

These are the supposed movers and shakers in the party… the ones who have been sitting out in the districts and picking typical party candidates, those who will follow the party establishment line and not question anything too carefully. That this approach to local, district and state party policy, with regard to candidate recruitment, has not proven very successful is obvious.
Bernanke: "Having another of your visions, Hank?"
The Republican Party was in catastrophic disarray when Barack Hussein Obama defeated John McCain. After President Bush caved in to hysterical pressure and signed on to TARP, forever damning himself in the eyes of Conservatives, we watched as Obama and his DeMarxist government brought us perhaps the most unpopular legislation in history by cheating, lying, destroying the rule of law and shredding the Constitution.
Then they doubled down on TARP with a 'stimulus' bill which did nothing at all to jump start the economy or private sector job growth. Citizens watched as billions upon billions of dollars went to pay Obama's political debts to the the public service sector and teachers' unions. We watched as cosmetic program after program crashed in upon itself in what has become a magnificent dirge of failure.
I've written about the people, the American people, not being quite like anybody else in the world. There is just something about us that is different. We rise up under the threat of socialist domination while the effete populations of Europe embrace socialism like a babe to its mother's breast.
The Tea Party and the Conservative Patriot groups have drawn a line in the sand. We've knocked off several candidates in various states and districts that have been the darlings of the Republican establishment. There is a message out here for Republicans.
We, the American Patriot movement, are here. We're not going away and we won't be co-opted either. We're watching the National Republican Senatorial Committee sneaking around in Alaska, trying to change vote totals and pull a Barney Frank on our own elected candidate because he wasn't the one they favored.
It's stuff like this which will result in a head-to-head confrontation between the RNC and the Patriots. We'll take control of the party if we have to, but it would much better if the establishment would give over their business-as-usual games and actually work for the country and the Constitution for once.
It's a fact that no power on earth can take down the United States of America. It's equally true that a cabal of unprincipled, greedy and dishonest politicians have come frighteningly close to destroying this greatest of all beacons of truth and freedom. There is in us that which seeks truth and the freedom of mind, body and soul, which is the premise of being Americans.
Picture by Jeremy Buff. http://jeremybuff.com
We have seen the light of freedom dulled by the relentless assaults of those from the political left, who are disciples of a pernicious socio-political cult philosophy which has destroyed national economies around the world wherever it has been employed. Aside from the economic chaos and inevitable starvation which follows, over one hundred million people have been murdered as a result of communist revolutionary aggression.
Maybe the absolutely disastrous tenure of Barack Hussein Obama was a gift to America by a merciful God, who saw that America had been lied to sleep… that we had forgotten who we were. When the euphoria of the 2008 election had evaporated, the monster we had invited in wasted no time revealing itself in all its tyrannical and ideological glory.
America reacted in typical American fashion… we revolted. Call it the Tea Party or the Conservative Patriot Movement or whatever you wish, but it was a near simultaneous occurrence all across the country. It was, and has been, a peaceful revolution, but a revolution nonetheless.
The 60s Marxists leading the attempted takeover of our society had been stymied in their aim to foster communist revolution here for so long that when they gained total power with the election of Barack Obama they went berserk, looking more like feeding piranha than a governing body.
What woke us up as a country was watching the thrashing of the Constitution over the illegally passed 'sthealth' bill, which scarcely one Congressman had read or understood. 2,700 pages of absolutely incomprehensible legalese garbage, which seeks to control over one sixth of our entire economy.
The Tea Party movement, or Patriot movement, has been instrumental in GOP victories across the country, not always in tune with the chosen of the Republican establishment, however. The real truth is that the Republican Party has been pulled along in the wake of the Conservative tsunami, which has yet to peak and will come crashing down on the DeMarxists and the Obama administration in November.
The infamous 'tin ear' of the establishment Republicans, refusing to listen to the Conservative base time after time, has brought us stellar presidential candidates such as Bob Dole and John McCain. Trent Lott, another establishment hero, blurted out on television that the Tea Parties were nothing to worry about… they would simply be co-opted by the establishment party when they arrived in Washington. That statement alone shows how little they understand what's going on out here.
They have no idea of the power and energy that is concentrated out here in the national Patriot Movements. It will not end with November. Our scrutiny will only increase as we make darn sure that the people we send to Washington are doing the jobs we sent them to do. November simply marks the beginning of the next battle, the campaign to retire Barack Obama.
With the notable exception of John McCain, the national Patriot movement has had significant results backing strong Constitutional Conservatives. Rinos continue to pay the price again, with that one notable exception.
To our Arizona friends. I hope you chose wisely. I can't help thinking that people like Lindsey Graham and John McCain will revert to type. More than willing to sell out his principles, McCain is perfectly capable of secret deals with the DeMarxists, as is Graham. We have no choice but to watch them like hawks and force them to behave.
Hey! Anybody out there want to lay any bets on how long it's going to take our boy John to revert to type? I say one week. But he has talked a hell of a tough game on the border and illegals, since he had his border epiphany.
Dick Morris is openly calling for both the House and the Senate to change hands in an historic repudiation of the leftward movement of our government. Yes, the people do have a voice in our system and they are making their voices heard in historic numbers.
The grim statistics that are coming out of the economy pretty much say it all. Record mortgage filings, the lowest real estate sales in fifteen years. We lost 500,000 jobs last month, companies are afraid to hire and investment is virtually frozen.
All political prognosticators are calling for a Republican sweep of the House. I think that's great, and I say let's take the damned Senate too. While we're doing that, let's pray to God for the wisdom to do this right.
Arizona has proven itself to be a pretty sane place. I hope that holds true through the primary election for the Senate race between JD Hayworth and John McCain.
I'd like to hope that Arizona would have better sense than to fall for McCain's chameleon-like transformation into a closed borders, anti-illegal alien guy. Or, that along with people like the ever-detestable Lindsey Graham, he was perfectly willing to sell the American people down the road with his carbon tax scheme.
It cost twenty million dollars of McCain money to get the Senator this far. He did his best to destroy JD Hayworth with Arizona voters. What was disappointing was the support that McCain got from the Old Guard Republican Party back in the beltway. They were the same ones who backed McCain for President. McCain could prove to be a very negative factor in the US Senate. He simply cannot be trusted not to immediately revert to type once re-elected. Millions of Patriots have made it abundantly clear that we do not want business as usual from our elected representatives.
Political prognosticators from both ends of the spectrum are calling for what may be a political repudiation of historical proportions, with estimates north of fifty seats that could be lost by the DeMarxists in November. Further, there are some who are now openly speculating on the real possibility that the Senate could be lost to the Conservative Republican revolution as well.
McCain just cannot be trusted. He's proven too many times that he's willing to throw party and principles away. From the Gang of Fourteen to his willingness to sell us out on immigration… proof that he cannot be trusted is out there in abundance.
If you live in Arizona, please get to the polls and vote today. Gather your friends and family and get them to the polls.
How times have changed. Fifty six percent of voters, identifying themselves as independents, voted to put Barack Hussein Obama in the Presidency. Whether caught up in the glitz and glitter of a campaign choreographed like a Radio City music hall performance, or the historical moment of voting for a black man for President… some certainly voting for Obama thereby willing away the ghosts of slavery past and the much flacked, (at least by the statist press) so-called white guilt.
Other independents who would normally tend towards voting on the right, disgusted by the dismal performance of George Bush and the Republicans, joined the exodus of many Republicans and self-identified conservatives. Many Republicans and conservatives were lukewarm about the candidacy of John McCain, for all the reasons I, and many writers, have stated. Conservatives and Republicans seem to have longer memories than their DeMarxist counterparts, and we're not nearly as fast to forgive and forget. John McCain was a deeply flawed Presidential candidate, just as he is a deeply flawed Senator… at least from a conservative point of view… and we sure as heck haven't forgotten about him.
Barack Obama entered office destroying an already destabilized economy. Independents tend to be slightly right-of-center, and as the months of the Obama regime played out the shine started coming off of the independents' expectations that Obama would indeed be a 'post racial' uniter, bringing down barriers between Americans and ushering in an era of prosperity. At least, that's what you believed if you listened to his repetitive messages. Independents, by July 2010, have come to realize just how badly they'd been snookered.
They're not likely to forgive or forget either, and Obama's dismal polling among independents does not bode well for Obama or his Marxist cabal. Thirty eight percent, as opposed to the huge percentile advantage he once held. An eighteen point drop is enough to make all but the most secure DeMarxists extremely nervous. Despite all the diversions and political sideshows, they know that independents quite often swing elections.
As November rapidly approaches, the fact that the growing power of the Patriot Movement, with it's clear conservative message, is attracting large numbers of independents and disillusioned Democrat voters is looming large. Independents and Republicans are understandably still very skeptical of the Republican hierarchy, who have a bare four months to articulate a message that will convince us that they have the bare-knuckle guts and ability to provide the leadership we're looking for.
As Obama continues his radical extremist march to forever destroy this country as we understand it, his numbers and policies continue to unravel. The greatest danger we face now is that as the DeMarxists feel the end coming, they will be more and more desperate to complete their agenda.
Despite the DeMarxists headlong rush to oblivion in November, we cannot count on our Republican leadership not to blow it. They need to show something that has been sadly missing thus far, in my opinion… leadership.
To date, they've failed in the first big test of whether they have the intestinal fortitude to be the majority in 2011. Elena Kagan should have been stonewalled out the gate. She has zero qualification for the Supreme Court. She's an Obama creation. A political hack. A statist mouthpiece.
Did the Republican leadership stand as one and say 'hell no'? Of course not. They went immediately into accommodation mode, giving Kagan all the wiggle room she needed to play cutesy games and not give one substantive answer to any of the really weak-kneed, almost pandering, questions by the committee. They've displayed themselves as indecisive and fragmented, when they should show the American Patriots, whose favor they curry, that they can stand for what we believe in.
Conservative opinion was unmistakeably against Elena Kagan's appointment. We told the leadership from the outset that we wanted her appointment filibustered. There were comments such as 'Obama deserves his appointments'. Flashback to Lindsey (I'll go which ever way the wind blows) Gramnesty… and the Sotomayor hearings. As I recall, the nomination proceedings were scarcely under way and Graham was telling her, in front of the open hearing, that she 'is going to be confirmed'. That's enough to make a skunk gag. Sotomayor is far to left of anyone on the Court, and Kagan is to the left of her.
Somehow, the Republicans have gotten the idea that if we don't make nice with the DeMarxist nominees, we can't get our own through when the time comes. In the Marine Corps we'd call it 'cowardice in the face of the enemy'. In the case of the so-called Republican leadership, it's 'folding before the enemy is engaged'.
I see that John McCain has come to the party late… a little like his new-found religion on illegal amnesty and border security. The point is that if the Republicans can't show leadership on this, can we trust them to lead? We still remember, all too well, the pathetic Republican performance of the Bush years. It's one of the reasons incumbents have been dropping like flies. There will be more!
You cannot expect us to get behind an incoherent and fragmented message. We've been there and done that. There's too much at risk this time. We have to stop and derail this DeMarxist rush to tyranny at any cost, and we have to do it now! Here is a golden opportunity for the Republicans to articulate a clear, simple message. We have to return to the Reagan model. The conservative message resonates every time that it's clearly defined… and every time it's followed, it's a success.

For vampire Sava Savanovic who was buried and un dug from grave after several months completely preserved without signs of body decomposition with a blood around his mouth ,records say that in that period he killed 17 people various ages on various ways (manly there were signs of strangulation or a stroke ) and that was published in London Journal as first case of vampirism.
Once they opened his casket and they pierced his hart with a wooden stick ,everyone present heard his growl "Arghhhhh".and then the butterfly came out from somewhere and the legend was born. Sudden deaths stopped .
I personally think that death of so many people could attributed to some other factors like hot weather , poison ,contaminated flour from that particular water mill or even a case of serial killer ,however being born in Serbia I think this is great for tourism of that village.
Just it is a bit stupid and a shame because they have destroyed old mill and it will be even more stupid if they try and build new one in her place like Romanians have done with relocating and building a new castle of Vladimir Dracula.

Tag Archive for &lauren conrad& - The Beauty Department: Your Daily Dose of Pretty. Photos: Kristin Ess + Lauren Conrad, post designed by Eunice Chun Did everyone catch a glimpse of Lauren's pink dip dyed ponytail on her Instagram last night?

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
Defendant Arrested in Lakewood, Washington as he Prepared to Deliver Oxycodone
CALVIN JEROME SHAW, 50, of Fairfield, California, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to ten years in prison and five years of supervised release for Possession of Oxycodone with Intent to Distribute and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Offense. SHAW was arrested June 26, 2010, in Lakewood, Washington, when he arrived at a location to deliver oxycodone. SHAW was arrested by members of the South Sound Gang Task Force. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton said "...These pills ruin lives." Judge Leighton added that every time SHAW sold oxycodone he impacted someone's life in a negative way.
According to records filed in the case, SHAW and his wife were arrested at a planned rendevous point in Lakewood. The couple had driven up I-5 with oxycodone to deliver to a drug customer – in fact the drug deal had been arranged by an informant working with law enforcement. The couple was taken into custody in the McDonald's parking lot near the South Tacoma Way Park and Ride. Police seized about 608 tablets of 80mg oxycodone pills and 770 tablets of 30mg oxycodone pills from CALVIN SHAW's suitcase. When law enforcement searched the SHAW home near Sacramento, they found hundreds more prescription pills (including oxycodone), suspected crack cocaine, and about $12,000 in cash. Under the bed in the master bedroom, police also found and seized a loaded Smith and Wesson model 36 five-shot revolver.
SHAW pleaded guilty in December 2010. Under the terms of that plea agreement, SHAW is forfeiting the gun, ammo, and drugs, a Hummer SUV, two Rolex watches and a "Officine Panerai Luminor" watch, and other electronic items seized by law enforcement during their Lakewood arrest or the search of the California home.
The case was investigated by the South Sound Gang Task Force, which includes the FBI, the Tacoma and Lakewood Police Departments, and the Washington State Patrol and Department of Corrections. They received assistance regarding the California search from the Sacramento FBI and the Solano County Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.

AOMEI Backupper review
AOMEI Backupper offers backup and restoration services with its easy-to-use application. The streamlined design and fast response of this program are excellent, but the lack of features offered in the free version of Backupper may be disappointing.

As we welcome Black History Month to 2013, we also welcome it to the sports world. A sports world in which black athletes have dominated the NBA and the NFL and at the same time has made a huge impact in Golf & in the MLB. African-American athletes seem to excel in whatever sport they decide to put their efforts in. For example, if you take a look at the MLB, not too many African-American players are known to play the game of baseball. Somehow, the greatest record of all-time in baseball belongs to an African-American athlete. Barry Bonds hit the most homeruns in MLB history. Although he is connected to the rumors of steroids, you can't takeaway the fact that he is the homerun king. For those people that exclude him out because of the link to steroids, their homerun king is still African-American. Hank Aaron held the homerun record for thirty-one seasons until Barry Bonds broke it in 2007. Another African-American baseball hall of famer, Ricky Henderson owns the record for most career steals, runs scored, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs. Baseball has produced few black players, who have made a huge impact.
If you take a look at the NFL & the NBA, it is widely known that African-Americans dominate these sports. When taking a look at the NBA, the most known player of all-time is Michael Jordan; an African-American athlete who won six NBA championships, five MVP titles and is known as the greatest basketball player of all-time. The all-time record holders for most points, most rebounds, most three pointers, most blocks & most championships all belong to an African-American athlete. When speaking about the greatest player in the game right now, you think of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony & Dwyane Wade; all black athletes. When you think about the NFL, you think of dominant African-American wide receivers, middle linebackers & running backs. African-American athletes in the NFL hold the records for most rushing yards, receiving yards and scoring touchdowns. As the SuperBowl approaches, the greatest linebacker of all-time, Ray Lewis will be playing his final game.
Sports such as hockey, lacrosse & soccer have their fair share of African-American athletes but not at the same level as baseball, football and basketball. Golf is a rare sport that the greatest golfer of all-time is half black. Tiger Woods is the highest talked about and well-publicized golfer of all-time and holds most of the records you can think of in golf. The highest amount of wins a golfer has at different courses is eight. Tiger Woods has eight wins at one course by itself. A record that is unbelievable and will probably never be broken.
Viewing other non mainstream sports such as Boxing and Ultimate Fighting, the African-American athletes have made their impact there as well. The greatest boxers of all-time are well known African-American athletes. When mentioning the greatest boxers of all-time, you think of Muhammad Ali & Sugar Ray Leonard. If talking about the best boxer right now, you can easily say undefeated Super-Welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather. The number one ranked pound for pound ultimate fighter is Jon Jones. An African-American athlete is from Rochester, New York by the way.
When taking this all in, there is no taking away the accomplishments of players from other races such as white athletes, Hispanics and so on. There is just something special when thinking about African-American athletes just because of the history behind them. From not being able to play in the Major Leagues for baseball and having to play in the Negro League, all the way to having the top two homerun hitters of all-time. It is something magical and unbelievable and something that should be cherished and celebrated, the fact that we have the privilege to watch these African-American athletes be able to share their talents along with people of all different color is what makes Black History Month amazing.

"I liked Ronald Reagan. I think Al Gore and George W. Bush are both great guys," Heath says from his Dallas home with a low, hair-of-the-dog chuckle. "Neither may be superexceptional is all. Now George Sr. I liked a lot. He was a really intelligent government guy." Actually Bush Sr. was a really government-intelligence guy -- he headed the CIA before Reagan chose him as a running mate in 1980. But that would be quibbling; Heath doesn't sound like a guy who brooks much quibbling.
"I think the Electoral College is a beautiful thing," Heath says, initiating a polite civics lecture. "I tell you what would happen if we dropped it. All the issues that would matter in campaigns would be what goes on in New York and Los Angeles. There are so few people in, like, Wyoming. I think the worst thing is that the media ran through fire on this one to call the election, and they were wrong. People talk about how corporate interests buy elections, but what corporations really own is the media."
Before the conversation gets too Crossfire, Heath returns to planet Rock with a wry bottom line: "You know a lot of guys named Chad are taking a lot of shit right now."
Heath, age 41, says that he and his fellow clergymen (Jimbo Wallace and Scott Churilla) missed the opportunity to turn in absentee ballots for this election and that of 1992. Some permutation of the group has been performing since before the end of the Reagan administration, keeping them on the road that first Tuesday in November; Reverend Horton Heat has outlasted voodoo economics and communism. But to hear Heath tell it, he don't get no respect.
"What's funny is that the only place the press ever tears us up is Dallas," Heath says. He's neither bitter nor hostile. To him it's a shame and a laugh. "The guys here used to love me. But the past few years, they've said everything bad you can write about a band. They don't care what we do. For that reason, maybe, a lot of people in Texas don't know how big we are. I get recognized more in L.A. than in Dallas."
Of course he hasn't always earned unqualified support on the West Coast, where Interscope Records dropped the band as part of the great Universal housecleaning. "They just didn't understand rockabilly, country, blues, or surf-instrumental stuff. That's hard to take," Heath says.
Indeed his brisk playing and the band's giddy humor have deep roots in several uniquely American styles. He didn't invent rockabilly, country, blues, or surf, but he all but owns their hybridized bastard offspring. The recent Spend a Night in the Box marks the heavy emergence of swing among Heath's command of forms. It's a less-horny (but hardly defanged), more-Texas night on the Brian Setzer Orchestra bandstand. Heath says it's a welcome comparison but not a response he's calculated.
"I've been playing this style since Brian Setzer got started [in Stray Cats]," Heath says. "He's my favorite guitar player right now. I love to jam with Setzer, but I don't ever think of anyone else when I'm playing. We kind of have our framework, and part of our thing as artists is breaking away and doing different things within that framework. If I could sound like Santana, too, that would be great. And Junior Brown is a god."
Both Heath and Setzer have serious vintage-auto joneses, too. In fact Heath is quicker to praise his friend's mechanical prowess than to pick a winner in a guitar duel. "I'm not a very good welder, but he is. There's a lot of geometry involved in fabricating an auto part, and that's not really my thing. Setzer's way more off into that than me." Heath drives a 1950 shoebox Ford, the perfect get-around for a man born with hair cream and guitar picks. "For me," Heath continues, "it's all about midcentury styling."
Heath has that style down cold, though he's looking to make a couple improvements. "I like to write a lot of stuff that's in cut time, and lately I've worked hard on fingerpicking," he reports. "I've been a good fingerpicker for a long time, but I'm trying to get really fancy with the crazy picking. Sometimes it just hits me. But I don't usually have the time or space to rehearse all day like I'm supposed to. We play so much."
Goal number two for Heath is curbing his midcentury style of liver torture. "I have really had to slow down," he says without ruefulness. "It got to where I couldn't perform because I was drunk. You slur your speech, so that's the main thing right there, let alone playing. I've got to start writing songs that are easier to do when I'm drunk.
"I really do want to be a better singer," he continues. "I try to focus on the people I most admire vocally, like Sinatra and Dean Martin and Nat "King' Cole. I think I used to be much sloppier with my pronunciation."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ ) [poka yoke] is a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing". A poka-yoke is any mechanism in a lean manufacturing process that helps an equipment operator avoid (yokeru) mistakes (poka). Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur.[1] The concept was formalised, and the term adopted, by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System.[2][3] It was originally described as baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot-proofing") the name was changed to the milder poka-yoke.
More broadly, the term can refer to any behavior-shaping constraint designed into a process to prevent incorrect operation by the user.[citation needed] Similarly, a constraint that is part of the product (or service) design is considered Design for Manufacturability or Design for X. A modern Poka-Yoke application is when a driver must press on the brake pedal (a process step, therefore a poka-yoke)) prior to starting an automobile. The interlock serves to prevent unintended movement of the car. An additional poka-yoke would be the switch in the car's gear shift that requires the car to be in Park or Neutral before the car can be started. These serve as behavior-shaping constraints as the sequence of "car in park (or neutral)" and/or "Foot on brake" must be performed before the car is allowed to start. Over time, the driver's behavior is conformed with the requirements by repetition and habit.
The term poka-yoke was applied by Shigeo Shingo in the 1960s to industrial processes designed to prevent human errors.[4] Shingo redesigned a process in which factory workers, while assembling a small switch, would often forget to insert the required spring under one of the switch buttons. In the redesigned process, the worker would perform the task in two steps, first preparing the two required springs and placing them in a placeholder, then inserting the springs from the placeholder into the switch. When a spring remained in the placeholder, the workers knew that they had forgotten to insert it and could correct the mistake effortlessly. [5]
Shingo distinguished between the concepts of inevitable human mistakes and defects in the production. Defects occur when the mistakes are allowed to reach the customer. The aim of poka-yoke is to design the process so that mistakes can be detected and corrected immediately, eliminating defects at the source.
Poka-yoke can be implemented at any step of a manufacturing process where something can go wrong or an error can be made.[6] For example, a jig that holds pieces for processing might be modified to only allow pieces to be held in the correct orientation,[7] or a digital counter might track the number of spot welds on each piece to ensure that the worker executes the correct number of welds.[7]
Shigeo Shingo recognized three types of poka-yoke for detecting and preventing errors in a mass production system:[2][6]
Either the operator is alerted when a mistake is about to be made, or the poka-yoke device actually prevents the mistake from being made. In Shingo's lexicon, the former implementation would be called a warning poka-yoke, while the latter would be referred to as a control poka-yoke.[2]
Shingo argued that errors are inevitable in any manufacturing process, but that if appropriate poka-yokes are implemented, then mistakes can be caught quickly and prevented from resulting in defects. By eliminating defects at the source, the cost of mistakes within a company is reduced.[citation needed]

This paper examines the role that gender, occupational status, and family status play in moderating the effect of industrial activity on the psychological well-being of nearby residents. Using a unique spatial assessment of industrial activity and an environmental risk/social stressor framework in conjunction with individual-level data from the Detroit Area Study (DAS) and demographic data from the U.S. census, we find that residents of neighborhoods in close proximity to industrial activity report elevated levels of psychological distress compared to residents of neighborhoods removed from this type of activity. These influences are more pronounced among women but gender differences are also contingent upon occupational and family statuses. We show that specific combinations of work and family statuses make persons particularly vulnerable to the influence of this environmental stressor and women are two and a half times more likely than men to have these vulnerable statuses. This study makes an important contribution to the environmental health literature because it reminds researchers of the fundamental influence of social roles when examining the link between environmental risks and mental health.

Developing on the webkit for iPhone I encountered a curious delay on onClick events.
It seems that the click is triggered with about 300 milliseconds delay. While this is unnoticeable on a standard web page, it can be annoying on a web application. Fortunately the click event can be overridden thus eliminating the delay. I assume that 300ms is the time frame Apple guesses an user needed to perform gestures, but there are situations where this delay can be really annoying. iOS Dev Center. Developers. Safari Developer Library. Mobile UX Essentials. At the BAYCHI Interaction Design event tonight, Rachel Hinman (Nokia) talked about where and how to begin designing for mobile in her presentation on Mobile UX Essentials.
Here's my notes from her talk. Mobile is an interesting space but how do you get involved in it? Companies are hungry to know what to do with mobile but teams aren't sure where to start.If you've been designing for the PC, there's a few things that are similar: how to work in a rapidly evolving field; how to create experiences within technical constraints; and similar tools and processesBut a mobile phone is not a computer.Computer: predictable environment, large screen, multi-tasking, keyboard & mouse for input.Mobile: highly variable context & environment, small screen & limited text input, UI takes up entire screen, hard to multi-task.Many people try to shrink/port over desktop experiences.
Flattr's sign-up process: is this how you'd design it? The core idea of Flattr is great.
You define a set amount of money each month (say $5) to tip content creators. Then, whenever you see something you like, you click their Flattr button and they get given a slice of your monthly quota. The size of the slice depends on how many people you tip that month – the more you tip, the less each individual gets. The concept is a bit weird at first, but if you think about it, the idea of a single-click micropayment tool is actually quite compelling. Do users read license agreements?: Measuring Usability Blog.

on the school calendar issue. I was having a conversation with a friend over the weekend who was going going on and on about the school calendar being switched, starting in July, oh the poor children etc. Are you sure about that I asked. Well YES it was in the paper was the reply. I then asked if the interim super received approval from the state or even received a letter stating they could start earlier than the recently passed law would allow. Why YES it was in the PAPER was the response.

After reading this article Wrong Child?, I am very thankful to Mr. Parks and all of the teachers at MC Riley for the car rider policy in place this year.

I thought this was rather interesting. Is there a need for this type of technology in the "real" world?
I can hear my phone
While it seems that it is not available here in the states yet, it did remind me of that "campaign" in NY where the girl store the cell phone. Thoughts anyone.

Until I got a hold it it. Well I guess the face glass was not really glass at all but plastic and it's cracked. Now i'm sure it didn't cost a fortune but it's well PERFECT and from my son.
Anyone have any ideas how much it would cost to repair or who I could take it to?

TMP, Hays High play to draw
By AUSTIN COLBERT
The celebratory fist Thomas More Prep-Marian girls' soccer coach Darryl Wellbrock sent toward the heavens at the final buzzer had been a long time coming.
For the first time in the nine-year history of the TMP soccer programs -- boys or girls -- Thursday's game against Hays High School did not end in a loss to the Indians.
Instead, the teams played to their first draw, a 0-0 double overtime grinder at the FHSU Soccer Stadium.
"To play them to a tie is a very big accomplishment," Wellbrock said. "I know a tie isn't a win, but to me it's a win. The emotions for me are probably as high or higher than the girls. I don't know how to explain it."
Amid the postgame tears for fallen teammate Raegan Billinger -- who had her freshman season end when she broke her leg in the first half -- was the pride of a young Monarch team that had just reached a long sought-after dream.
TMP came close in the season opener against Hays High on March 27, a 1-0 overtime loss for the Monarchs at HHS Field. And even though the Indians once again shut down the TMP offense on Thursday, the Monarchs own defense was able to match them through the extra 20 minutes of play.
"There was a lot of pressure on the defense, but I think the midfielders really helped out and got back and took a lot of it off us," TMP sophomore defender Tyra Younie said. "It was awesome. It was getting pretty physical, but we fought through that and we played with different players, so that was rough. But we got it together and that was great."
For an Indian team used to running through the Monarchs in years past, Thursday's draw was a humbling experience. Hays High had its share of chances, more than doubling up TMP on shots, but many of those were easy saves for TMP freshman goalkeeper Deonna Wellbrock.
Hays High presumably had the fresher legs, having not played since Monday, a 5-0 win at Great Bend. TMP was coming off a 6-0 win the night before over Wichita Independent, and didn't get back to Hays until well after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
While the TMP offense did have a few opportunities as well, especially in the second half with the wind in its favor, the Hays High defense, led by senior defender Reagan Kaiser, quickly shut down that threat.
Whatever got past Kaiser was soon absorbed by sophomore goalie Brittany Dinkel.
"Both teams played well defensively. It didn't seem like either team could break through the other's defense," Hays High coach Saul Hernandez said. "Our team wasn't happy with the tie. To us it's a loss. The way I saw them celebrate, it's kind of better to let this happen to us now after getting that long winning streak."
Hays High, now 9-2-1, entered Thursday's game with TMP having won seven straight. The Indians will look to rebound when they host Garden City at 4 p.m. Monday at the HHS Field.
TMP will bring a 4-2-1 record into its next game, which is 4 p.m. Monday against Great Bend at the Bickle/Schmidt Sports Complex. The only other regular season games left on the Monarchs' schedule are at Wichita Word of Life on May 12 and at Wichita-North on May 15.
Considering TMP has played a combined 160 regulation minutes with Hays High to a 0-0 draw this season, the Monarchs are entering their stretch run with the expectation to win out. Regionals begin May 19, and Wellbrock believes his players can use Thursday's game as a springboard into what they hope will be the first regionals win in program history.
"You probably can't see the snowball effect as much as I can. But it's coming. I've been very patient and I've been patient with them for a long time," Wellbrock said. "But my job is to make the girls better for when we get to regionals. Some of our goals are to go one round for sure in regionals and I think we got a pretty good crack at that. We will see. But I think the girls got their goals set higher than that."

Baricci Brunello is an on-going staff and customer favorite and we're excited that the 2009 has finally hit our sales floors. Considering the number of Brunelli priced well north of $50, this pure expression of Sangiovese is a must-buy for fans of Tuscan reds.

Review Date: 7-7-2014
Exceptional vintages like 2010, truly bring out the best in elegant Barolos like those of Aldo and Riccardo Seghesio.

God damn. Over the last few years since I first saw Ryan's work on Gamespot, some weeks I've heard his voice more than my real life friends. He seemed to have a spot on attitude towards the absurd fun you could get out of life. Wish I'd gotten to opportunity to buy the man a scotch. Rest in peace.

Easily one of the best games ever made. You should maybe even go back and play Half-Life 1, it's simpler and obviously a little rough around the ages these days but I think it still holds up quite well. I'll be interested to see what you think of Deus Ex, I played it right when it came out in 2000 and about 5 times since, one of them just last year. I hope you enjoy it but I think the game may not have aged well for somebody who doesn't love the game in as firm and dogmatic a way as I do haha.
The story was pretty interesting as far as I'm concerned. Nice change of pace to a more Clancy-esque, tighter focus. Every Call of Duty game I've played has been great (granted I've not played CoD3 or the last generation console versions) and I really can't understand anybody's assertion that MW2 was dull. The games are a fun homage to that bombastic style of overblown action and play amazingly. You're right about the AI, some of that stinks, but really the CoD games are well respected and such a financial success for a reason. They're all great fun so long as you don't take them/yourself too seriously.
The new Dante is a hipster. Hipsters are annoying (at least where I live) and the fashion is a fad. New Dante will, in 20 years, look exactly as silly as if the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had been in a 1990 version of Devil May Cry (due to some bizarre and unpleasant time warp).
It is either a) a pessimistic and patronizing piece of marketing nonsense or b) a misguided, blinkered decision made by somebody with no self-awareness or sense of timelessness; somebody caught up in the fashion themselves.
Devil May Cry games have always been at least partly about stylishness, but this new design is not stylish, it is fashionable. There is a difference.
This is why people are, and should be, angry.
I love this. The Yakuza games are some of the least wacky stuff that Japan puts out and the idea of them spending the last 5 or 6 years building up that reputation and then deciding "NO, FUCK IT - ZOMBIES." That's awesome.
In the year 2000, many many more websites will be on a subscription basis. Sort of like cable TV. I know I'd prefer to watch some of the stuff on HBO to free-to-air nonsense - same principle here.
