In today's busy world it's hard to find time to keep current on the top news stories. When you do (finally) find time to open your favorite news app, it can be hard to navigate a maze of stories. Yahoo has found a solution to this problem – News Digest. News Digest is a simple app that delivers news to you twice per day, at times you specify.
Hourly News: Superb, Simple News Podcasts for iPad
Hourly News is a simple little single-purpose app for the iPad and iPhone. It's a podcast app that brings hourly news updates from a small but blue-chip list of sources and presents them in bare-bones basic interface that's a pleasure to use.
I only just discovered the app a couple days back thanks to a post by MG Siegler, but it has become an instant favorite on my iPad mini.
The sources included in the app are NPR , BBC, CBC, ABC, CBS, WSJ, ESPN, VOA, SRN, FOX news, and Bloomberg Radio – so you get good coverage of pretty much all major news topics.
The Austin American-Statesman Has a New iPad App: It's Beyond Terrible
My hometown's leading newspaper launched a new iPad app yesterday. It's called Today's Paper from The Austin American-Statesman and it's beyond terrible. It's not just a terrible iPad newspaper app, it's an embarrassing app to even have published in the App Store. I'm amazed any sensible publisher has put their name on this.
I should've realized how useless this 'paper' was when attempting to take a look at the app when it launched yesterday. That in itself was a farcically bad experience. It went something like this:
– I run an iPad site, do iPad app reviews, and especially enjoy iPad newspaper and magazine editions. So I was excited to see a new iPad app from Austin's leading newspaper. I'm not a current print or online Statesman subscriber but I was a very keen potential iPad subscriber.
– I installed the app and immediately found that I could not so much as tap to view a single article before hitting a roadblock. To view anything at all in the app you have to sign in as an existing subscriber or take on a new subscription. I've been covering iPad newspaper and magazine apps for over two years now and I cannot recall a single other title that refuses to show any content at all before demanding your money. Great start, and it only gets (much) worse from there.
– I knew I couldn't sign in so I hit the Subscribe button and chose the only available option – the $9.99 per month subscription. I tried this several times and got a variety of error messages that all seemed to imply it was just not possible to buy anything on the iPad App Store. Just for laughs, I went to the App Store, installed an iPad magazine, and bought an issue of it with zero errors or problems.
The London Evening Standard Now Has an iPad Edition
Yesterday saw the release of the latest newspaper iPad edition to hit the iPad App Store – London Evening Standard iPad Edition. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this paper, here's a little background on it, via its App Store page:
The London Evening Standard is a quality daily newspaper, published in tabloid format in London, England. It is the regional evening paper for London and the southeast of England, with coverage of national and international news as well as topical features.
The paper celebrates London and what living in London is all about. It reports the news and fights balanced campaigns on behalf of Londoners.
Our features deliver a different flavor each day
Monday – Trends: Everything that is current, hip and of the moment in London from fashion to gadgets to cars
Tuesday – Fashion: Style and Sex: All the latest fashion and shopping advice
Wednesday – Heath and Beauty
Thursday- London Life: Living in the greatest city in the world and a guide to culture in the capital
Friday – Film and Music: Welcome to the weekend. What to do, what to see and where to see it in the greatest city in the world.
I lived in London for many years and The London Evening Standard (or just The Standard) was a daily purchase and my reading material for the train trip home every evening. It's a much 'lighter' style of paper than the morning broadsheets like The Times, The Guardian and others but usually a good read, especially during a commute home. So of course I was curious to see what their iPad edition is like when it hit the App Store yesterday.
NewsFlash – a Very Clean, Fast News & RSS Reader for iPad
NewsFlash is a relatively new breaking news and headlines RSS reader app for the iPad and iPhone. It uses quite a simple interface and offers breaking news and top stories from around the world and in a number of languages.
I have a clear favorite RSS reader app for the iPad, River of News, and use Twitter and notifications from a handful of news apps to attempt to keep up with breaking news – but I'm always on the lookout for more good news and RSS sources, so I've been giving NewsFlash a try over the last several days. The short story here is that I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like this app. Hit the break for the reasons why …

Journey Proud
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
John T. Wilcox:
My mother (born 1897 in middle Georgia) used that expression, "journey proud," in the sense Clay Witt asked about: "I hardly slept last night, I was so journey proud"–meaning nervous about the upcoming trip. But my wife, born near Atlanta and much interested in local language, had never heard the expression until she married me. There is a lady in my home town in south Georgia, born in 1909 and now 100 years old and still mentally sharp, who says she never heard the expression until I asked her about it today, 09/25/2009. PS: Is "Clay Witt" a pseudonymn? It's a great name for a clever fellow from the country, especially if he is from a clayey part of the country, like south Georgia.
No, Mr. Wilcox, Clay Witt is my name, and my family is from Virginia and Kentucky.
My mother said "journey proud" at any occasion of a tripShe also said "land o Goshen" and my yankee brother in law thought she was saying "atlantic ocean. She had many others as well. She was raised in N Florida by a mother from SC.
Dale Williams:
My 72-year-old cousin, from a small North Carolina town, used this phrase yesterday, which led me to this site.
I'm 62 and from the same town but had never heard the phrase before. Thanks for the education!
Janet Krohn:
My mother, born and bred in MS, always used this expression when the family was headed on a road trip. I, too, use it to mean that I can't sleep for being so excited over what the journey will bring.
Peter Logan:
My mother used "journey proud." She grew up on a Kansas farm in the 20′s and 30′s. After introducing it, its become a favorite of some of my friends, here on Cape Cod.
Peter Logan:
My friend who loves to say, "journey proud," coined a new phrase this morning. He said he couldn't sleep last night because he was, "work proud."
William Taylor:
I am from Eastern NC and I have heard the expression "journey proud" all of my life. However, the meaning of the phase in this locality usually referred to someone who comes back excited from a trip who can't stop talking about it.
Victoria Solt Dennis:
My mother always confidently diagnosed any queasiness or 'feeling funny' on the eve of a trip as 'journey pride'. She was born (in 1921) and bred in West Essex, on the outskirts of London, but her mother came from Somerset in the West Country. That may be significant, becaus the Oxford English Dictionary cites this from the London Times of 21 Dec 193: "'Journey-pride'..will be familiar to your west-country readers".
Anne Morrow Lindbergh references this phrase in her book "Listen, The Wind". She attributes this to her New England ancestors.
My grandmother used the term "journey proud" to describe the inability to sleep the night before a trip (or journey). She grew up in Western NY, but spent her married life in FL.
angela box:
The sweet black man who worked for my grandfather near Pine Bluff, Arkansas used the term during my childhood in the 1950s.
My father, born in 1916 in Stewart County, Georgia used that expression. His ancestors came from Virginia.
"Pumped up" or "stoked," in current parlance. (The excitement and fitful sleep, of course, are symptoms.)
My uncle Charlie, who himself grew up in the Piedmont of Georgia, used this phrase when I was a boy in the 50′s. My family continues to use it–really glad to know that we are not alone.
At Midland School, we've used "journey proud" since the mid-1970′s, at least, and I suspect it goes back to the founding Headmaster in the 1930′s. Because it's a boarding school, and most of its students live in either Los Angeles or San Francisco and thus take a Greyhound bus home for vacations, "journey proud" refers to the feeling a student has before going home. Think of it as a lower-key form of "senioritis," and one wouldn't be too far off.
Becca Knox:
My family from the SW of Virginia uses this term to mean the queasy, unable-to-sleep feelings of the day before a trip. My great-grandmother suffered terribly from the affliction and we learned the term from her.
David Montgomery:
My mother was born in 1914 in rural piedmont North Carolina and she used this expression frequently. Traveling anywhere away from home was a big deal when she was growing up and she said that she could never sleep the night before a planned departure. This did not change much as she grew older. She told me once that when she was in her early 20′s , she and three girl friends had planned to go the the beach and the night before they were going to leave, they all agreed that they wouldn't sleep that night, so they went ahead and left at midnight. The lack of cell phones or even AAA didn't prevent being journey proud from putting them on the road.

Toshiba's Encore Mini is likely to be the cheapest Windows 8.1 tablet you can buy, but that doesn't mean you should buy it. 7in really is too small for the software we know and enjoy, and we're sure that anyone keen to get Windows 8.1 on a tablet will be disappointed with this one and find that it's...

The Toshiba Encore 2 is an attractive choice if you're looking for an affordable 10-inch Windows tablet.

Usable performance and a generous software bundle for a very tempting price

Good cameras and HDMI-out in a chunky chassis
Toshiba Encore
Toshiba's Encore 8 packs some nice extras compared to rival 8-inch Windows tablets, but it's thicker and heavier than the competition.
What could have been a nice handheld 8-inch tablet is also held back by a bulky design that makes it look and feel cheap
Toshiba Encore
It's with somewhat of a heavy heart that we have to report that our search for a Windows 8 tablet saviour continues, with the Toshiba Encore falling short of a number of expectations. While the fact that it can run full Windows programs is at first a nice feature, it's not much use if the underlying... More

Does anyone know if I could have items purchased online from Disneystore.com delivered to a Disney resort? Also if this can be done, any estimates of delivery time would be great and any information on how long the resort would hold the package would also be a great help! Thanks in advance for any help!
There is a sticky at the top of the page called "shipping to your resort." You need to make sure you use the right carrier and note if you are staying at a convention resort, you will be charged a small fee. Estimated delivery times are provided by the person you are delivering from - not Disney itself. Depending on the availability of the item, it make take longer to get, so you will need to send it accordingly. The resort would hold the package about a week or so. Also not how the package needs to be marked.

Federal Employees' Compensation Act:
Analysis of Benefits Under Proposed Program Changes
GAO-13-730T: Published: Jul 10, 2013. Publicly Released: Jul 10, 2013.
Additional Materials:

- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7215
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO's simulation found that under the current Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program, the median wage replacement rate--the percentage of take-home pay replaced by FECA--for total-disability beneficiaries was 88 percent for U.S. Postal Service (USPS) beneficiaries and 80 percent for non-USPS beneficiaries in 2010. GAO also found that proposals to set initial FECA benefits at a single compensation rate would reduce these replacement rates by 3 to 4 percentage points under the 70-percent option and 7 to 8 percentage points under the 66-2/3 percent option. Beneficiaries with dependents would receive reduced FECA benefits under both options. The decreases in wage replacement rates were due to the greater proportion of beneficiaries who had a dependent--over 70 percent of both USPS and non-USPS beneficiaries.
In GAO's simulation comparing FECA benefits to retirement benefits, GAO found that under the current FECA program, the median FECA benefit package for total-disability retirement-age beneficiaries was 37 and 32 percent greater than the median 2010 retirement benefit package for USPS and non-USPS beneficiaries, respectively. This analysis focused on individuals covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which generally covers employees first hired in 1984 or later, and covered about 85 percent of the federal workforce in 2009. GAO also found that the proposal to reduce FECA benefits at the full Social Security retirement age would result in a median FECA package roughly equal to the median FERS retirement package in 2010. However, the median years of service for the FERS annuitants GAO analyzed was about 16 to 18 years, so these simulations did not capture a fully mature retirement system and likely understated the future FERS benefit level. Consequently, GAO also simulated a mature FERS system--intended to reflect future benefits of workers with 30-year careers--and found that the median FECA benefit package under the proposed change would be from 22 to 35 percent less than the median FERS retirement package.
Partial-disability beneficiaries are fundamentally different from total-disability beneficiaries, as they receive reduced FECA benefits based on a determination of their earning capacity. GAO's seven case studies of partial-disability beneficiaries showed that how they might fare under the proposed FECA changes can vary considerably based on their individual circumstances, such as their earning capacity and actual levels of earnings. For example, among GAO's case studies, those beneficiaries with high earning capacities may elect to retire under FERS and would likely not be affected by the proposed FECA reduction at retirement age because their potential retirement benefits were substantially higher than their current or proposed reduced FECA benefit levels. In contrast, those beneficiaries with low earning capacities had potential retirement benefits that were lower than their current FECA benefits and the proposed FECA reduction at retirement age would reduce their FECA benefits.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2012, the FECA program provided more than $2.1 billion in wage-loss compensation to federal workers who sustained injuries or illnesses while performing federal duties. Total-disability beneficiaries with an eligible dependent are compensated at 75 percent of gross wages at the time of injury and those without are compensated at 66-2/3 percent. Benefits are adjusted for inflation and are not taxed nor subject to age restrictions. Some policymakers have raised questions about the level of FECA benefits, especially compared to federal retirement benefits. Proposals to revise FECA for future total- and partial- disability beneficiaries include: setting initial FECA benefits at a single rate (66-2/3 or 70 percent of applicable wages at time of injury), regardless of whether the beneficiary has eligible dependents; and converting FECA benefits to 50 percent of applicable wages at time of injuryadjusted for inflationonce beneficiaries reach full Social Security retirement age.
This testimony presents results of GAOs four recent reports on FECA issues. It summarizes (1) potential effects of the proposals to compensate total-disability FECA beneficiaries at a single rate; (2) potential effects of the proposal to reduce FECA benefits to 50 percent of applicable wages at full Social Security retirement age for total-disability beneficiaries; and (3) how partial disability beneficiaries might fare under the proposed changes. To do this work, GAO conducted simulations comparing FECA benefits to income (take-home pay or retirement benefits) a beneficiary would have had absent an injury, and conducted seven case studies of partial disability beneficiaries.

Government not to let Ram Sethu be damaged: Gadkari
The government has said it will not indulge in any activity that might affect the mythical Ram Sethu from the famous Indian epic of Ramayana.
According to Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari the development of a proposed waterway through the underwater site in the Palk Strait is being contested before the Supreme Court.
He said the government proposes to find an amicable solution to the issue which would also contribute to the development and progress of the nation.
The previous government had presented an affidavit to the apex court on its decision to disturb the historical structure.
The proposed project of Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project which was first envisaged in the 1990s, seeks to create a 83-km-long deepwater channel between Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu, and Mannar Island, off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka.
The project also seeks to develop 13 minor ports in India, and fishing harbours and other infrastructure between India and Sri Lanka.
The government decided to go ahead with the project in 2005 to cut shipping distance by 350 nautical miles and for saving 10 to 30 hours of sailing. The country also expects to earn from transit fees for usage of the channel.
Previous committees such as Pachauri expert committee had suggested a different alignment without disturbing the original Ram Setu, a chain of limestone shoals.
Gadkari said that he will visit Tamil Nadu to discuss all the related issues to find a solution.
The new government proposes to develop inland waterways to establish a Jala Marg network in the country.
The government is currently working to have at least three metres of draft (depth) and 80 metres of width for the waterways to enable goods transportation through them.

Brillouin-gain spectra for single-mode fibers having pure-silica, GeO2-doped, and P2O5-doped cores
Optics Letters, Vol. 12, Issue 4, pp. 269-271 (1987)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (382 KB)
Brillouin-gain spectra are measured for pure-silica core, GeO2-doped core, and P2O5-doped core single-mode fibers with different index profiles. A narrow-linewidth semiconductor laser operating at 828 nm is used as the pump light source. The spectral shape of the Brillouin gain is found to be strongly related to the refractive-index profiles. The Brillouin linewidths evaluated experimentally are 90 and 215 MHz for a step-index single-mode fiber and a graded-index single-mode fiber, respectively. The Brillouin Stokes shifts depend on the core/cladding dopant materials and their concentrations and range from 20 GHz for the P2O5-doped core fiber to 21.6 GHz for the pure-silica core fiber in the 0.8-μm-wavelength region.

The American Heart Association's journal Hypertension this summer plugged home blood-pressure monitoring kits, noting that the self-care diagnostics can save insurance companies money by improving healthcare quality and reducing healthcare costs — both buzz words in the changing healthcare paradigm that places a greater emphasis on preventive health care.
mHealth — the use of mobile technology devices and smartphones for healthcare purposes — is transforming health care as more Americans adopt mobile devices.
Last year, Drug Store News covered extensively the results from Thrifty White's successful medication synchronization program. DSN recently checked in with Tim Weippert, Thrifty White EVP pharmacy, to get an update.
Drug Store News caught up with Upsher-Smith chief commercial officer Rusty Field to discuss topiramate extended-release capsules, its new authorized generic to Qudexy XR.
DSN spoke with Neas in late October to mark the 30th anniversary of the landmark Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act — better known as the Hatch-Waxman Act.
Thirty years ago, Democratic and Republican members of Congress hammered out a rare and prescient bipartisan compromise bill that transformed the pharmaceutical landscape forever and unleashed the modern generic drug industry. That law, known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, has proven to be one of the most far-reaching and impactful pieces of legislation ever to shape the American healthcare system.
Innovating on behalf of the consumer.
That's what has always excited CVS/pharmacy president Helena Foulkes about the business ever since she took her first job in retail, some 22 years ago, at the only retail company she has ever worked for.
Women. They make most of the healthcare decisions for their families, dominate U.S. consumer spending and are the breadwinners for nearly half of American households.
In this issue, we explore the profile of health-seeking drug store shoppers, their pharmacy purchase behavior and the best times to reach this valuable audience with promotional messages.
A recent study by Field Agent examined what consumers are planning to do to keep themselves and their families healthy this fall.

Drupal Give: Recent Activity
Every week one member of the Drupal Security Team handles email and other incoming reports, validates whether it's an issue the team needs to handle, and makes sure the relevant maintainers are informed. This week it's my turn.
Acquia teamed up with four other Drupal companies—Phase2 Technology, NodeOne, Pantheon, and Lullabot—to fund major improvements to the Drupal.org infrastructure for distributions. Find out more at Distribution packaging now fully supported on Drupal.org.
The statistics module in Drupal core is overdue much love. Head over to the issue queue to take a look at current work. Including trying to get statistics to work better with reverse proxy caching such as Varnish by updating data via AJAX.
Posted a patch that fills in all the missing API documentation for the Drupal 8 configuration system.
Went through Bakery issue queue responding to issues, making and testing patches.
I've submitted a patch, which was completely re-written by sun (and I admit his is far better than mine!). Reviewed, tested and re-rolled the patch after making a couple of minor amendments.
The Drupal.org Case Studies project is part of the Drupal.org content Community Initiative. We made significant progress in the weeks leading up to DrupalCon Denver, and led an a sprint on Friday after DrupalCon. The project is ongoing, but several case studies have been migrated. New case studies that highlight an excellent implementation of Drupal, or produced significant community contributions are wanted!
If you're looking to set up a community forum site, you can use the Drupal Forum Distribution. It comes with all the advanced features for a community bulletin-board in one easy package.
Spent time on updating the Drupal.cz (local Czech Community) to the latest Pressflow, made updates of all modules and migrated the site to a new platform (Acquia Cloud, sponsored under the free community hosting programme). Wrote a post on how to make changes on the community site through Github and how to deploy them on the new platform - now any community member can contribute to the site.
Recent work done to migrate Acquia customers from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 has been generalized to form the core of the migrate_d2d module, a framework to support migrations from any Drupal version to Drupal 7 for now, and to serve as a proof-of-concept for using a migration approach for major core Drupal upgrades in the future.

johnny cakes?? what are they & where can i get some?

I was watching the Sopranos last night and there was a scene in a New Hampshire diner where Johnny Cakes were ordered. What is this delicacy?? Are they sold locally??
re: Das Ubergeek
They appear to be gone from the Dupar's menu, at least on-line.
Anyone else got a local source? Isn't the giant pancake-thingy at the Pines in Palmdale cornmeal-based?0
The Horseless Carriage (at Galpin Ford) used to serve really good yellow cornmeal pancakes. All the breakfasts were good there, and so was the service and the prices. Hmm. Anyway, I wonder if yellow cornmeal pancakes are like Johnnycakes.
0 -
I'm assuming this is a Sopranos food reference?

I can't remember what they're called, but IHop has these pancakes that are made with Cream of Wheat and are sort of like Johnny Cakes, but I think better, sweeter. Try those!

re: Will Owen
I like food for the masses Tortillas, Knishes, Matzo balls, Pancakes, Rice, Corn Bread... I found a story like the one you know (link below) about Corn Bread that talks about regional names including , journey cake, Shawnee cake = johnnycakes ...
Are these thick or thin? Know any local places that makes-um the way you know it to be? Sounds great served hot with butter on top.0

1045 Tasting Notes
Still loving this one very much! Sad it is sold out along with my precious Autumn Harvest Laoshan Green. I'll savor every drop while I've got em ;)
Ah, the sadness of falling in love with one of Verdant's limited teas… hope this one comes back in stock for you! At least many of the teas do, though they are of course slightly different picking to picking.
Thanks to Jackie T for a sample of this one! This is one of the more friendly and accessible puerhs I've tried. It still very much tastes like a puerh, but is pretty mild and has a nice floral sweetness to it. This one would be good for puerh novices for sure. Tastes like the garden smells after it rains :)

A look back at Eags' win over NAU
Eastern Washington's defense came up big in Saturday's 21-14 Big Sky Conference win over Northern Arizona on Saturday, and we've got some additional post-game comments from linebackers J.C. Sherritt and Zach Johnson, a couple of big contributors to that defensive effort, below.
But the inconsistent play of his offense -- alberit against an NAU defense that is as good against the run as any in the league -- obviously has Eagles' coach Beau Baldwin concerned heading into next Saturday's Big Sky matchup against Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo., especially with Taiwan Jones banged up once again.
For those who missed them last night, I included this link to the EWU-NAU game story that ran in Sunday morning's S-R, and this link to what Eastern's sports information department posted about the game. I've also included this link to what NAU's sports info folks posted, along with this link to the gamer that appeared in The Arizona Daily Sun.
Read on.
Sherritt and Johnson were both asked about the difference between this year's win over NAU and last year's, when the Eagles gave up 747 total yards but still managed to outlast the Lumberjacks 49-45 in Flagstaff, Ariz. NAU quarterback Michael Herrick threw for 574 yards and four TDs in the loss, but didn't look nearly as impressive on Saturday. "It was just a matter of settling down in our pass coverage -- especially me," Sherritt said, when asked about the way the Eagles were able to contain Herrick this time around. "They picked on me and exposed me a little bit last yearr, but we all watched a lot of film from that game, critiqued ourselves and came out here with a good, solid game plan." Johnson gave a lot of credit to Eastern's front four, which was able to keep Herrick uncomfortable in the pocket without having to rely on a bunch of blitzing. "Early on, our d-line really got after him," Johnson said. "They're a bunch of studs up there, and they always get after the quarterback. But our focus all week was on just doing our own jobs and not get caught up in trying to do too much. "If they run away, our outside linebacker tries to stay home for the bubble (screen) and trust that our other linebacker is going to make the tackle. Just do your own job and trust in the other 10 guys doing theirs -- that's what we were focused on." As for being put in some difficult situations by an Eastern offense that turned the ball over five times, Johnson added: "As a defense, we like being put in those situations. We get amped up for that; try to get our crowd amped up, and prove to ourselves that we can come up with stops in those situations. I think we tend to play better in those situations." And here's what Baldwin had to say about his defense: "We just tried to make (Herrick) earn everything -- keep things in front and do the best that we can to not give him free shots. Everything they were getting today, when they did hit something, you felt like it was earned. We had guys covering up receivers, running backs were having to break tackles, and I just thought our guys were doing a great job of recognizing things and understanding what they were going to see offensively from (the Lumberjacks). "That's a great job, and a tribute to the defensive staff and the effort that goes into each week." When asked what his offense needs to do to be better against UNC next Saturday, Baldwin said: "We've just got to clean some thing up and get into a better rhythm -- the type of rhythm we were in at Weber (State). At times you felt it out here today. We just shot ourselves in the foot. "We're not getting points when we need to, even if they're not touchdowns. So we've got to clean it up. We've got to execute in the field-goal department, also. There's just a lot of little things we have to clean up to make a run at this (Big Sky) championship."

isprat, Actually Tripod had been great for me up until this point. You can solve the above error by uploading the strict module to "/cgi-bin" in your friend's directory. The @INC error has been helpful to me in that it tells me what module I'm missing, and then I upload it. Try it again for your friend and I think you'll find that it works fine. Actually, I'm using the free web hosting option on Tripod and was pleasantly suprised to learn that it lets me use Perl scripts. My regular ISP, which I pay for, doesn' give me this capability. Tripod's servers don't appear to be slow at any time and they respond to requests for help extremely rapidly, even for free users. Thanks, Anne

#1 Phillygirl - Question about the kittengatorGuest06-13-2008, 09:46 PM
What ever happen to that little kitten? Is that poor little thing hungry and crying tonight because you wouldn't help it out?
You know that an occasional taste of coffee creamer isn't going to allow the poor little thing to have a good life, don't you? It is probably starving to death while you are eating high on the hog. It also needs a little love and companionship. It probably doesn't have anybody to play with and kittens love to play.
Can I drive up there and rescue it because you won't do anything?

Junius on UKIP
UKIP: an unhelpful squabble
Richard North
From many accounts, Marta Andreasen is an impossible woman, and UKIP is well rid of her. But the fact that she became a UKIP MEP at all is a reflection of how Nigel Farage manipulates the party list to put his own candidates in place – very often in breach of his own party rules.
Nevertheless, when she was first introduced at their conference in Bournemouth, a party activist remembers that Nigel himself introduced her as their new golden girl - the UKIP equivalent of a then ascendant Sarah Palin. How things change.
For what it's worth, my view is that she should never have been included in the list in the first place. Those with longer memories will recall that before Farage found her a home, she had already sought a place on the Tory list, only coming over to UKIP when offered a paid post as its treasurer.
However, one cannot entirely disagree with her analysis of UKIP, when she says that that party has [some] "good people in it at grassroots". Despite that, she has been at odds with Farage for a long time, having called for his resignation as party leader as early as
May 2011
. And she is not wrong when she declares that he treats any views other than his own "with contempt".
Andreason saw UKIP as his plaything "to mould and shape in any way he sees fit, regardless of the views of others". Sadly, there is truth in that as well. I myself formed that view long before she joined the party, and very much recognise the validity of
her claim
that, "Nigel promotes the people who say yes to him and will be grateful for getting the job and will never contradict him".
"Under his leadership - and I have questioned his leadership obviously a number of times – the party has become a dictatorship", she said in an interview earlier this month, adding: "This is a Stalinist way of operating and he doesn't care about the membership or the grassroots…".
Currently, she says about Farage, "His actions, surrounding himself with an old boys' club of like-minded sycophants, are dictatorial, in sharp contrast to those of David Cameron, who has shown he can listen, adapt and do what is right for the country, not just for personal gain".
Responding to her defection to the Tories, Farage says of Andreason, "Having left the OECD, the European Commission and UKIP in unpleasant circumstances, the Conservative party deserve what is coming to them. The woman is impossible".
On the other hand, Grant Shapps, the Conservative chairman, says that her defection is a vindication of Mr Cameron's European policies. Her words on the Prime Minister's record "prove that the Conservatives are the only party who can protect Britain's interests in Europe".
Standing back from that, one can only regret - as does
Autonomous Mind
- that the eurosceptic cause is served so badly by all these shenanigans. We have enough difficulties and hurdles without our own side adding to them.

Uncorrected Transcript
Following the prolonged ground war in Iraq, and the continued International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) presence in Afghanistan, the United States military is shifting focus from large invasion forces to other strategies for handling threats. Additionally, cuts to the military are reshaping ideas for power projection and the use of force. Cooperation among branches of the military will be critical in the time ahead, and the United States must continue to plan for the possibility of land conflict, whether we want to be involved or not.
On February 24, the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at Brookings held an event on the future of land power and U.S. ground forces. The first panel consisted of Major General William Hix and Major General Christopher Haas, both of the U.S. Army, Colonel Jim Zientek of the U.S. Marine Corps, and Brookings Senior Fellow Peter W. Singer. Major Generals Hix and Haas, and Colonel Zientek, served on a recent military task force created to develop strategic land power concepts for U.S. ground forces. The event's second panel included Commanding General of the Maneuver Center of Excellence Major General H.R. McMaster, Brookings Senior Fellow Michael O'Hanlon, and Brookings Senior Fellow William Galston who is also a retired U.S. Marine. They offered their unique perspectives on the future of land power.

Santa Claus is supposed to determine who's been naughty or nice over the past year at Christmas time. For many mothers, the TV show "Glee" has been especially naughty. A recent episode featured a shirtless Santa Claus with a ripped physique - and mothers have flooded the network that they have found the image to be both insulting and offensive.

Keywords: Glee, Santa Claus, blasphemy, bad taste
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Other religions do not tolerate this behavior and as Christians we will not either," one mother said in an email. "Why any producer or network feels mocking a sacred and religious holiday where Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is acceptable is beyond me. 'Glee' should not and will not get a free pass to make a joke of Christmas."
The message continues: "This is not the first time the show has aired blasphemous content in their program. Glee producer Ryan Murphy is used to pushing the moral boundaries on his show, but last week's episode went too far. The mockery of the Christmas story was blasphemous and an abomination."
What drew the ire of many viewers was the fact that this particular episode featured the transgender student, Unique, portraying the Virgin Mary in their high school's nativity scene. Unique acts out giving birth to the baby Jesus.
Adding to the rather inappropriate nature of the telecast, the doll representing Jesus wore a sequin diaper and was thrown from singer to singer while they sang "Love Child, Never Meant to be."
A bisexual "Sexy Santa" later gets two female characters as well as the show's gay male character drunk before robbing them blind. This follows after making out with and tying the male character up in bed.
The girls, in a previous scene are elves at the local mall and tell kids to ask for mobile devices they could download porn on while wearing skimpy elf costumes.
While others debate the blasphemy of the episode, many would find it in questionable, nay BAD taste.
