Strawberries are often given a bad rap as a fussy, needy plants.
By August, many gardeners are content to sit back and enjoy the garden after the very busy and tiring seasons of spring and early summer.
What's it Mean When a Plant "Bolts" or "Goes to Seed"?
Keeping up with the harvest in a productive vegetable garden demands the skills of a juggler and the appetite of a teenager.
Come mid-winter, it can be tough to eat directly from the garden in most parts of the world.
You've waited months for the spring to return. Finally, you can start gardening outdoors again. And if you're like me, you're definitely ready to get going.
In my garden, I always grow at least a couple culinary herbs, such as parsley, dill and chives.
Gardeners have a valuable tool in the special maps that delineate climate zones across the country.
Around our house, we eat from the garden as much as we can. We don't just grow different vegetables, herbs and fruit to eat. We also plant flowers to enjoy in the kitchen too.
Come home for Earth Day, and stick around for the healthy harvest.
I love spring bouquets that look a little bit wild — hellebores or daffodils are gorgeous all by themselves, of course, but a few sprigs of cedar among the blooms makes the arrangement richer and more exciting.
For centuries, folks have known that mint (Menta spp.) is a special herb.
Planning fun activities to incorporate into your garden plan can help encourage kids who are expected to help in the garden, but aren't in love with gardening, to view it with a more positive attitude.
Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Legumes, which include peas and beans, are some of the easiest edibles to grow.
Lavender is one of the most popular flowering herbs.
Growing your own salad ingredients is easy, even in the smallest garden space.
Do you remember when we were growing up how we always had party favors for our friends to take home after birthday parties?
You want to grow your own food, but you don't have the time or energy to take on all the work a seasonal, annual vegetable garden requires.
On a cold day in winter, I almost always have a warm cup of tea within arm's reach. There's nothing like holding a steaming mug to reheat chilled gardening fingers.
Pears can be one of the most delicious garden-grown fruits. They can also be one of the most mealy and tasteless.
The humble onion is a mighty powerful vegetable.
As the leaves start to fall and autumn arrives, some of my favorite fall foods are vitamin-packed pumpkins. That's one of the reasons I fell in love with this easy-to-make Pumpkin Soup with Sage and Italian Sausage.

Warmists Think Obama Can Control The Weather
Climate astrology at its best. The Reuters story is all about how Obama may deal with the Keystone Pipeline (which he will probably do his best to kill, despite being a way to provide tens of thousands of jobs here in the US) and Hotcoldwetdry, and provides this spiffy quote
Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said Obama's second term will be pivotal in the fight against climate change, which he called the "singular issue of our time for anyone who cares about clean air, clean water and a safe future for our families."
Brune urged Obama to take "swift, decisive action to prevent more erratic weather, superstorms and wildfires."
There's so much wrong with those two paragraphs that all it deserves is
Ed Morrissey points out that Sierra Club must be thrilled over the number of fossil fueled vehicles and private jets being used to bring ObamaZombies in for the 2nd Coronation.
Fortunately, hyper-climate astrologist Seth Borenstein shoots the "Obama can control the weather" meme in the foot, to some degree
Scientifically, the president doesn't have control of day-to-day weather. While his policies can lessen or worsen future projected global warming on a large scale, they cannot do anything about Washington's daily temperature on Jan. 21.
See? Not the weather. But, the Lightbringer can, in the minds of fevered-Warmists, control the global temperatures. The Sun can't, but Obama can.
(just to be clear, this is not a post knocking Obama, though he has made a few crazy pronouncements, like causing the seas to recede, but Warmists)

Thermo-optic locking of a semiconductor laser to a microcavity resonance
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 24, pp. 21977-21985 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (521 KB)
We experimentally demonstrate thermo-optic locking of a semiconductor laser to an integrated toroidal optical microcavity. The lock is maintained for time periods exceeding twelve hours, without requiring any electronic control systems. Fast control is achieved by optical feedback induced by scattering centers within the microcavity, with thermal locking due to optical heating maintaining constructive interference between the cavity and the laser. Furthermore, the optical feedback acts to narrow the laser linewidth, with ultra high quality microtoroid resonances offering the potential for ultralow linewidth on-chip lasers.

Advocates of dynamic spectrum access hope to boost their agenda within ITU
The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance is working within the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to spread its advocacy for new spectrum policies that favor opportunistic spectrum access and concepts such as spectrum sharing.
Lowenstein's View: Opportunities for the FCC to fast-track broadband, competition
There have been three broad themes to the FCC under Chairman Tom Wheeler, reinforced in his remarks at the recent CTIA trade show: more competition, more spectrum, and an open, non-discriminatory Internet. The significant items on the FCC docket that play into these themes--the pending AT&T-Direct TV and Comcast-TWC deals, the 600 MHz incentive auctions, and the ongoing discussions on network neutrality--show that the FCC has taken a lot on, and has had a lot thrown at it. An intransigent Congress and the upcoming mid-term elections are an additional wildcard that could impact how and how quickly these major items are addressed.
Discovery's top lobbyist recused from Comcast-TWC merger battle
Among programmers, Discovery Communications has been perhaps the most vocal critic of the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. However, absent from Discovery's quest to stop the proposed union has been its top in-house lobbyist, Alexa Verveer.
Rysavy: Mobile broadband networks should not be hampered by net neutrality constraints
The success of the mobile broadband industry is due in part to a light regulatory touch that has encouraged massive investments and resulted in one of the most successful industries of all time. This industry, however, is still in the relatively early stages and will grow and evolve in ways that cannot be predicted. It will be successful to the extent that unnecessary regulatory strangleholds, especially ones that treat wireless and wireline equally, do not hold it back.
Baltimore hires consultant to wriggle out of Comcast franchise agreement
The City of Baltimore expanded broadband service choices for local residents and businesses and has hired a consulting firm to, among other things, explore ways through and around a franchise agreement signed with Comcast that runs through 2016.
Telefónica seals deal to acquire GVT from Vivendi
Telefónica agreed to acquire Vivendi's Brazilian broadband business GVT for just over €7 billion ($9 billion) in cash and stocks, following three weeks of exclusive negotiations.
AT&T faces merger heat from Netflix and former cellular partners but gets Microsoft's blessing
More than 90 former AT&T cellular-industry partners have banded together to petition the FCC against the telco's proposed purchase of DirecTV, while Netflix also sent a notice to the commission noting that powerful conditions restricting paid peering should be put in place. Conversely, the still-powerful enterprise-technology company Microsoft told the commission it supports the merger.
Senate passes (relatively) clean STAVRA bill
A bill renewing the ability of satellite operators to take broadcast signals from far-away stations and deliver them to about 1.5 million rural subscribers without local access to various broadcast outlets has passed the Senate by voice vote.
Rogers: U.S. channels will leave Canada if 'nuts' regulators render them a la carte
Speaking Tuesday at future-of-television hearings conducted by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in Gatineau, Quebec, Phil Lind, executive regulatory VP and vice chairman of Rogers, said disaggregating U.S. channels such as AMC and A&E would cause their backers to pull out of the Canadian pay-TV market completely.
Sen. McCaskill expected to abandon attempt to add pay-TV regulation to STAVRA
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is expected to withdraw an effort to include in the pending satellite reauthorization bill rules that would give the FCC greater oversight over pay-TV customer service.

The Haywood Community College Woodsmen's Team finished first in the 2009 John G. Palmer Intercollegiate Woodsmen's Meet and Forest Festival Day held at the Cradle of Forestry near Brevard on Oct. 3.
The HCC Lumberjacks piled on victory after victory to win by a 73-point margin against Montgomery Community College, North Carolina State University, and Penn State Mont Alto.
Haywood got off to an early victory in Quiz Bowl as sophomores Bill Sweeney, Dawn Salley, Derek Morgan, and Cory Walsh beat N.C. State in the first round and Montgomery Community College in the finals.
Haywood's archers kept up the tempo with a first and second place finish, and HCC's defending log roll team of Frank Potts, Jeremy Graves, Dawn Salley, and Rance Rogers made their under-a-minute win look easy. The lumberjacks placed in almost every event, but secured the blowout with several first-place finishes.
I had originally intended to spend today (Monday, Feb. 16) doing a couple of short surveys for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. But Sunday morning amid more and more (and more and more dire) weather forecasts warning of some pretty heavy winter weather coming our way I began to contemplate counting Sunday instead. Around 9 a.m. Sunday I peeked out the downstairs window. Well, in my yard were 17 wild turkeys. It looked like a large group of jakes and gobblers.

Disney Dream Cruise Review by HoneyBunny0811: A Dream Cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Disney Dream Bahamas Cruises
A Dream Cruise
Our vacation began with an overnight stay at the Hyatt-Orlando Airport. The stay was great but what impressed me was the ability to check in for the cruise while at the airport. The ride to the port was good and getting on the ship was a breeze.
The ship....what can be said that hasn't been said already. It is simply gorgeous and the staff works around the clock to keep it that way. We don't have children but still enjoyed the family areas of the ship. Seeing all the children laughing and enjoying themselves always brings a smile. The adult areas were nice and a good place to hang out if children are a bother. The shows were great, broadway-style with lovely costumes and wonderful singers. We loved the 3 dining rooms but especially, Animator's Palate, with the guest interaction and constant changing screens. The food was good, even the buffet style breakfast at Cabanas and the three outside deck eateries wasn't bad.....loved the ice cream. Our cabin was clean and More
comfortable although we did not see our cabin steward much. I'm used to Carnival where we would see our steward multiple times a day and would always refer to us by name making sure we had everything we needed.
Nassau...been there so many times, no need to leave the ship. Castaway Cay is beautiful. The weather was not that great so we rode bikes and sat on the beach until after the BBQ lunch, then reboarded the ship.
Disembarkation was smooth, as well as the ride to our Disney Resort. Just a fantastic vacation. Less

Start communicating ideas and diagramming data in a more interactive way. In this course, author Barton Poulson shows how to read, map, and illustrate data with Processing, an open-source drawing and development environment. On top of a solid introduction to Processing itself, this course investigates methods for obtaining and preparing data, designing for data visualization, and building an interactive experience out of a design. When your visualization is complete, explore the options for sharing your work, whether uploading it to specialized websites, embedding the visualizations in your own web pages, or even creating a desktop or Android app for your work.
Processing is a free open-source programming environment that can be installed on Windows, Mac OS and Linux PCs. In addition, its files can be saved for webpages as both Java Applets and as JavaScript files and for Android mobile devices. In this movie I will show you how to download and install Processing on Windows PCs and on Macintosh computers. The first step, as you go to the Processing website, which is Processing.org. And when you come to the homepage, you simply go to Download Processing.
We click on that and what you find is there, there are currently two versions of Processing available, a Stable Version is 1.5.1 which was released back in May of 2011. On the other hand, version 2.0 is nearly ready for release, and in fact, they've been making Public Releases of the alpha and I've been using those in developing this course. And the most recent, which was released in August of 2012 is Version 2.0 Alpha 8.
And I've been using this with no problems and I suggest that you simply go straight ahead to that Version 2.0 for your own work. If you have a Windows computer, you can use that 32-bit or 64-bit. Now be aware that this is going to require the Java Runtime Environment to work with it and it will need to be in a matching 32 or 64-bit. The computer that I'm using right now, we needed to use Windows 32-bit to install. All you need to do is click on the link and download the file and double-click to open it.
I have already installed this, so I'll press Cancel. If you have a Macintosh computer, simply click on Mac OS X, there is a single version that works seamlessly. And if you have a Linux computer, you also have a choice between 32 and 64-bit. Now, the differences between Versions 1.5 and 2.0 are significant but most of them are under their hood, and will not be something that you actually had to deal with in creating your own Processing sketches. For instance, 3D rendering is now done exclusively with OpenGL, as opposed to processing its own renderer.
Video is done with the version of gstreamer instead of Quicktime for Java. There is a change in the way that XML data is read. There's a new class for tabular data that is CSV or TSV files. There's a simpler interface for installing libraries. And most of these, if you are not familiar with these terms, that's fine, you don't have to worry about that, many of these are simply improvements in the way that Processing works. There are a few, however, that will show up in what you do. There's a JavaScript mode in addition to standard in Android which allows you to save your sketches as JavaScript files that can be loaded into webpages, which by extension allows you to bring them into the Apple iOS world.
There is also the possibility of adding new modes as they are developed. When you install Processing and perhaps the most significant thing that you need to do is choose where your sketches folder is. I'll open up my copy of Processing and go to Ctrl+, on a PC or Cmd+, on a Mac to open up the Preferences. And you have the possibility of selecting a Sketchbook location, that is, sketch is the Processing term for programs or scripts.
On my own computer, I put it inside my documents folder inside a drop-box folder, so I have it accessible from other places. You can put it wherever you want. All you are going to need know is that's where your files are going to go and that's where your libraries need to be installed when we get to them. The installation of Processing is a straightforward and simple procedure. Now, that you have a working copy of Processing installed on your computer, let's take a closer look at the program itself.
There are currently no FAQs about Interactive Data Visualization with Processing.

Ninja Master's
Published by Developed by Released Platforms |
Not an American user?
Another one-on-one fighting game straight from the arcades for the Neo Geo. Ninja Master's [sic] is set in feudal Japan, and tells the story of 10 unique ninjas who fight each other for their own personal reasons and the chance to defeat the evil Nobunaga and bring peace back to Japan.As expected for the genre, the game pits your selected character against a series of opponents in best-of-three-round matches, with your objective being to deplete your opponent's health bar with your basic attacks, special moves (triggered by specific control motions) and super moves (which rely on a power gauge). All the characters in Ninja Master's fight with their weapon of choice, but you can freely choose to put your weapon away and go mano-a-mano. This does not have a major impact on speed or attack power, but changes the movesets significantly, even changing the way basic attacks work.
Uses 2D sprite-based graphics and features 1P or 2P vs gameplay.

ETFs for Two-Speed China: FXI, HAO
During periods of strength, I typically encourage investors seeking exposure to China to turn to the small-cap HAO; the fund's focus on smaller names allows investors to take advantage of the nation's blossoming consumer class. However, if weakness persists and Moody's observations hold up, the outlook for FXI appears more optimistic.
Bigger may look better when it comes to China, for now, but FXI is not without its challenges, either. On the contrary, in addition to a prolonged economic slowdown, interference on the part of China's government could be enough to stifle strength.
This week, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao hinted that such an intervention may be in the cards. In comments made to China National Radio, he noted that China's bank monopoly needs to be broken.
9 Stocks That Prove Dividends Make All the Difference
The happenings taking place in China at this time are exciting to watch. However, with the nation's economic outlook mired in uncertainty, most investors will be best off on the sidelines. Aggressive individuals may be tempted to venture into a fund like FXI, but even here, exposure should be kept small and close to the chest. If weakness persists or intensifies, or if the government decides to take bold action toward SOEs, risk takers must be prepared to make necessary adjustments.

Didier Drogba Confirms He's Leaving Chelsea
Description:Didier Drogba has confirmed he plans to quit Chelsea following his epic Champions League performance, telling France Football magazine of his teammates, "We will not be together next season, As I have decided to leave, I wanted to tell them to their faces. They made me break down. I found it hard to admit that it was finished with me and the club. But I don't see myself sitting on the bench watching others play at a time when the club is looking at putting together a new team." (1:00)

New adventures!
You may have noticed my absence from this blog. I'm sorry for being so quiet. Sometimes you just don't have enough energy or time to be so active with blogging or just following anything on Internet. That's what happened to me.
I was about to end this blog, but I changed it to a big break. Because I have realized I really need one big break. When writing a blog goes from fun to a stressful obligation, there is something very wrong (the same thing has happened with me writing a diary). I'm so convinced that I will be back on blogging some day, hopefully soon. With this blog or then something completely new. Because there are huge, still secret ideas bubbling in my head and I think the year 2014 will be so exciting! I hope you all the best year ever!
Acid jeans
I'm going to Helsinki this weekend and I cannot wait! We're (me and Bambi) going to have some fun with my hair. Something inspired by bubblegum situations. And of course the new hair needs new style things. And weird jeans have been on my shopping list for a while now. I have browsed through so many shops and now I have collected a group of good options. Here's my investigation results (and I really like the Weekday yellow ones):
New sofa!
Did I tell you that we've ordered a sofa! Finally! It's from Danish Karup and it's a futon sofa bed, linen coloured. It's perfect and hopefully coming soon.
Winter. Silent blog and just being inside, reading books, sauna, dreaming and sleeping. And just now I bumped into these weird shoes from Camper that somehow are quite interesting. I don't know if I really want these or if I really hate these...
Sweden / Sverige
Our neighbor is just better, bolder and more creative. It's a fact. I know it. Every time. Now this: a logo for their country, their own typeface, a cool webpage, everything! I love it! A note to Finland: We are boring!

I'm working in a night shift, I'm waiting the work to begin and I know that I will sleep only few hours this night. Somehow this made me laugh.

Flora & Laura
I just surfed into the coolest flower shop ever: Flora & Laura! A flower shop that doesn't really exist but that makes beautiful flowers stylings. This ticks all the boxes in my florist-graphic designer-gardener heart.
Stones + Glass
Ramon Todo combines glass with stones and makes art pieces that are just amazing! Loving the simplicity and contrast of transparent glass and rough stone.

Perfect things for home
After moving into a new apartment we've noticed that we need a kitchen table and benches and a couch. A hunt for the perfect ones has begun and we have had few candidates. But today I bumped into these in Japanese Hiromatsu online shop: Cielo couch and Gala table! P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Too bad that I think these are custom-made and delivered only in Japan...
Made from Cool
I love these Jack & Jones' advertisement videos. Christopher Walken is so cool and great and these videos are just AWESOME! These also remind me of my grandma who was a dressmaker and she had all the same sewing things that you can see on these clips.
Autumn review
It's been a few weeks since these photos happened, but so much has been going on (like that we've moved but that's a whole different blog post). But before that we went to check the autumn in Huruksela, my home village. And it was great again! Dad had cut the old independence spruce from the backyard, and then the small forest in front of Koivurinne had disappeared. We found two old stools and we took the paint off from them. And we picked so much mushrooms! I quite like the fall this way.

Landet Järna
I just found the most perfect flower shop I've ever seen! Landet Järna in Sweden is specialized in wild flowers and it follows the seasons with their collection of flowers. It also uses the locally grown flowers. I've been wanting something like this in Finland too. Maybe someday. Or maybe I should move to Sweden...

I love mathematics! Especially when it's visualized. Because it's actually visualized everywhere you look. Omg, I could talk about the beauty of mathematics for so long...
So I love these data visualizations by Cristian Ilies Vasile and Martin Krzywinski. These are Pi and other mathematical numbers. Gorgeous!
Ukki means grandfather in Finnish. And today I got something from my Ukki. He died a long time ago so this gift has kind of been waiting for me. When I was born, he opened a bank account with 1000 Finnish marks. And that was 28 years ago! The deal was this: when I turn 18 years old, I would have to buy jewel for myself so that I could remember my grandfather forever.
I turned 18 and then a bit more but I just couldn't buy just any jewel. I wanted it to be special and I wanted to figure out what's my style. So that I could wear the jewel every day. Then I had to get the money out of the account and luckily my dad found the original bank receipt and a note from my Ukki (a note that I haven't ever seen before).
And today is the day! About a month ago I went to a local jewelry designer, korus DESIGN, and he made me the most beautiful pendant that reminds me of my Ukki. The bigger stone is obsidian, which is basically naturally occurring volcanic glass, and the smaller is tourmaline. Now I have my Ukki with me all the time.

Lately I've been doing things with different colours. First I made the most delicious ginger-apple jam and let my inner kitchen goddess out. Then I received the much-needed package of hair colours from B. And then we went to a natural dyes workshop with Z. That was so much fun and so inspirational and relaxing! So much joy from the avocado shells, the creeping woodsorrels and anything else from the nature (and garbage).

Why does my primary have a spigot on it when all I read is siphon? I'm brewing a brown ale how should I transfer it to my carboy?
Most likely you opted to use your bottling bucket as the primary, hence the spigot. That being said, it's really not a big deal, until, of course, you go to bottle Once the beer is done fermenting you can rack to secondary and let it clear and then rack it back to bottle. Not the most ideal way to go about things but all will be fine and you will have beer!
I did a fermentation in my bottling bucket once. I went to secondary with it for a while, then racked back to do the bottling. My notes are incomplete on the matter, but I think I used the spigot to rack to secondary rather than using a siphon. If you did not thoroughly sanitize inside and then bag or otherwise cover your spigot before filling, I'd be inclined to go the siphon route. Otherwise, the spigot is certainly convenient, and is probably located above most of the trub.
I did have to drill for the air lock and that's when I started thinking about the spigot I knew I was going to use the same bucket for bottling my biggest question would be now is why wouldn't I transfer through the spigot instead of a siphon?

The Club for Growth is a 501(c)4 organization active in the United States of America, with an agenda focused on cutting taxes and other economic issues.[2] The Club has two political arms: an affiliated traditional Political Action Committee, called the Club for Growth PAC, and Club for Growth Action, an independent-expenditure only committee or Super-PAC.
According to its website, the Club for Growth's policy goals include cutting income tax rates, repealing the estate tax, supporting limited government and a Balanced Budget Amendment, entitlement reform, free trade, tort reform, school choice, and deregulation.[3] The Club for Growth PAC endorses and raises money for candidates who meet its standards for fiscal conservatism. According to Politico, "The Club for Growth is the pre-eminent institution promoting Republican adherence to a free-market, free-trade, anti-regulation agenda."[4]
The Club for Growth was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore, Thomas L. Rhodes, and Richard Gilder. Moore served as the first president of the Club from 1999 until December 2004, when board members voted to remove Moore as president.[5] Pennsylvania United States Senator Pat Toomey served as president from 2005 through 2009. The Club's current president is former Indiana Congressman Chris Chocola.
Founder Stephen Moore has said, "We want to be seen as the tax cut enforcer in the [Republican] party."[6]
In 2010, the Club's political arms spent about $8.6 million directly on candidates and bundled another $6 million from Club members, directing those funds to candidates.[7] In 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Club members donated at least $4 million, and the Club's political arms spent nearly $18 million on elections.[8]
Unlike many other political action committees, the Club for Growth's PAC regularly participates in funding candidates for primary elections.[7] The Club focuses more on open seats than on challenging sitting Republicans, but it has helped to unseat a number of incumbent Republicans.[5][9] The Club for Growth has established a vetting process for potential candidates that involves one or more interviews, research on the race and the candidate's record, and a poll conducted to establish whether the candidate has a viable chance for victory.[10] Each election cycle, the Club's PAC endorses candidates and encourages donors to support the endorsed candidates.[5] Promoting a more conservative agenda, the Club is known for targeting "establishment" Republican candidates.[7]
In 2003, the original Club for Growth strongly opposed the Medicare prescription drug benefit proposal.[11][12] The Club for Growth strongly supported the Bush tax cuts of 2003 and ran television ads against two Republicans who voiced opposition to the tax cuts. According to the New York Times, "Last spring, [Club for Growth president Steve] Moore attacked two Republican senators who were resisting the latest tax cut: George Voinovich of Ohio and Olympia Snowe of Maine. He ran ads in each of their states in which he compared them with the French president, Jacques Chirac. That was too much for Karl Rove, the president's political enforcer, who called the ads 'stupid' and 'counterproductive.'"[13]
In 2005 Pat Toomey became president and the Club for Growth created a congressional scorecard. The Club's first key vote alert was an amendment sponsored by a Democrat. Representative Earl Blumenauer offered an amendment to an agricultural appropriations bill that would have reduced the sugar program by 6 percent. The amendment failed, 146–280.[14]
The Club fought to support the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement in 2005, running print advertisements in local Beltway publications in the Washington, DC area. According to Roll Call, "Former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), president of the Club for Growth, a CAFTA supporter, said his group continued running advertisements before the Congressional vote."[15]
The Club opposed the 2005 highway bill.[16] President Bush threatened to veto the bill but did sign it. The Christian Science Monitor quoted David Keating saying, "For fiscal conservatives, it's frustrating to watch...He's beginning to lose all credibility with these veto threats."[17] According to the Washington Post, "The Club for Growth, a conservative group that funds like-minded candidates for Congress, has turned the highway legislation into a bumper sticker for the GOP's fiscal failings.[18]
Keating said to the Chicago Sun Times, "It is a pork-laden bill."[19] The Christian Science Monitor reported Toomey saying,
"This is a defining moment. The Republican Party came to power in 1995 by advocating limited government. But in the last four to five years, there has been no evidence that the Republican officials in the federal government have any remaining commitment to this vital principle."[20]
During the debate on the highway bill, the Club supported an amendment by Tom Coburn that would defund the noted "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska.
Following the Supreme Court's Kelo v. City of New London decision, the Club gained an appropriations amendment by Scott Garrett to prohibit funds in the bill from being used to enforce the Court's decision. The amendment passed, 231–189.[21] The Club for Growth PAC highlighted this vote when it targeted Joe Schwarz, a House Republican who it helped defeat in 2006, claiming he was too liberal.[22]
In the spring of 2006, the Club opposed the 527 Reform Act, which curtailed spending by such political organizations. It led a coalition of center-right groups in sending letters to Congress to support its position.[23] The House passed the 527 Reform Act by a margin of 218–209, but the Senate did not consider the legislation.[24]
The Club for Growth supported various amendments to cut earmarks in the budget, such as "dairy education" and a "wine initiative."[25] The Club included assessment of sponsorship of the card check bill in its scorecard. If lawmakers co-sponsored the bill, they were docked points in the rating system.[26]
The Club for Growth issued a new scorecard in 2007 that highlighted how House members voted on several amendments that defunded earmarks. Sixteen congressmen scored a perfect 100% on the so-called "RePORK Card", voting for all 50 anti-pork amendments. They were all Republicans. Conversely, 105 congressmen (81 Democrats and 24 Republicans) scored a 0%, voting against every single amendment. In 2007, the Club also scored against House bills that increased the minimum wage, implemented card check, and sought caps on CEO pay.[27] In the Senate, the Club scored against bills that increased the minimum wage, passage of the farm bill, and the SCHIP healthcare plan.[28]
In 2007, the Club for Growth opposed protectionist policies against China. Senators Chuck Schumer of New York and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had proposed a bill to apply large tariffs on Chinese imports if that country did not increase the value of its currency. In response, the Club sponsored a petition of 1,028 economists who stated their opposition to protectionist policies against China. The list of economists included Nobel Laureates Finn Kydland, Edward Prescott, Thomas Schelling, and Vernon Smith. The petition played off a similar petition that was also signed by 1,028 economists in 1930 that opposed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.[29]
In 2008 and 2009, the Club for Growth opposed the $787 billion stimulus bill, Cash for Clunkers, cap and trade legislation, the Wall Street bailout, the auto bailout, the Affordable Care Act and the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.[30]
After Barack Obama was elected president in November 2008, Club President Pat Toomey penned an op-ed that included the results of a poll commissioned by the Club: "A poll commissioned by the Club for Growth in 12 swing congressional districts over the past weekend shows that the voters who made the difference in this election still prefer less government -- lower taxes, less spending and less regulation -- to Obama's economic liberalism. Turns out, Americans didn't vote for Dems because they support their redistributionist agenda, but because they are fed up with the GOPers in office. This was a classic 'throw the bums out' election, rather than an embrace of the policy views of those who will replace them."[31]
In 2009, the Club produced another "RePORK Card". This time there were 22 House members with a 100% score: 1 Democrat and 21 Republicans. At the bottom, 211 House members received a 0% score: 202 Democrats and 9 Republicans.[32]
The Club for Growth launched its Repeal It! campaign in 2010 in an attempt to help build public support for undoing the Affordable Care Act. In 2010, more than 400 federal lawmakers and candidates signed the Repeal It! pledge, including more than 40 of the incoming freshman class of congressmen and Senators.[33]
The Club for Growth advocated the discharge petition, a proposal that would have forced a House vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act. At the time, Keith Olbermann said: "The petition, which would need 218 signatures to force House Speaker Pelosi to put the repeal bill up for a vote, went largely ignored. As Talking Points Memo reports, on Monday it had only 30 signatures. That is until the right wing group Club For Growth e-mailed its members, explaining Mr. [Steve] King's discharge petition will be considered as a key vote on the club's annual Congressional scorecard. That scorecard is considered one of the gold standards of conservative rankings. That and the Spanish Inquisition. So by Tuesday, the petition had 22 more signatures."[34]
The Club was involved in the debate over the debt ceiling that took place in August 2011. The Club endorsed and strongly supported "Cut Cap and Balance" and ran issue ads urging Republicans to "show some spine" on maintaining the debt ceiling.[35]
The Club opposed the re-authorization of the Export-Import Bank.[36] The Club also took a strong position against Republicans voting for tax increases during the debate over the so-called "fiscal cliff". The Club opposed the "Plan B" tax increase proposed by John Boehner and also opposed the final deal.[37]
In September 2013, Club for Growth made voting on the Continuing Appropriations Resolution a key vote, announcing it track how representatives voted on the bill and make that part of their Congressional Scorecard.[38] The group urged representatives to vote yes, particularly with defunding ObamaCare in mind.[38]
The Club for Growth opposed the Ryan-Murray Budget deal.[39] It also opposed the 2013 farm bill, which failed for the first time in the bill's 40-year history.[40][41][42]
In 2014, for the first time in its history, the Club for Growth endorsed a Democratic candidate for statewide office. In the 2014 election for Secretary of State of South Carolina, the group backed Democratic nominee Ginny Deerin ahead of two-term Republican incumbent Mark Hammond.[43]
Since 2005, the Club for Growth has produced an annual congressional scorecard. Each member of Congress receives a score on a scale of 0 to 100. The Club for Growth awards a Defender of Economic Freedom award to members of Congress who receive a 90 or above on the annual scorecard and have a lifetime score of at least 90.[44] In 2012 Rep. Broun of Nebraska was awarded as a Defender of Economic Freedom.[44] The New York Times described the Club's release of its annual scorecard as "set upon by Republicans like the Oscar nominations list by Hollywood, with everyone dying to know who ranks where, especially in election years."[45]
In 2004, the Club for Growth's PAC endorsed and supported U.S. Representative Pat Toomey, who challenged incumbent Senator Arlen Specter in the Republican primary in Pennsylvania. The PAC was reported to have collected contributions totaling over $934,000 for Toomey. It also spent $1 million on its own independent television advertising campaign on Toomey's behalf.[46] Specter, who had the support of President Bush, the RNC, and Sen. Rick Santorum, defeated Toomey by a narrow margin of 51–49%. Afterward Toomey accepted the position as President of the Club for Growth, where he served until April 2009.
On September 19, 2005, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) filed suit against the lub for Growth alleging violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act for failing to register as a political action committee in the 2000, 2002, and 2004 congressional elections.[47] In September 2007, the Citizens Club for Growth (the Club for Growth changed its name) and the FEC agreed to settle the lawsuit.[48] According to their joint filing, Citizens Club for Growth said "that it operated under the good faith belief that it had not triggered political committee status ... [and] [f]or the purposes of this settlement, and in order to avoid protracted litigation costs, without admitting or denying each specific basis for the [FEC's] conclusions," Citizens Club for Growth no longer contested the alleged violations and agreed to pay $350,000 in civil penalties.[49]
According to the Associated Press, the settlement was one of "a series of actions by the FEC to penalize independent political groups that spent money to influence elections but did not register as political committees. The groups, called 527 organizations for the section of the IRS code..., played a significant role in the 2004 congressional and presidential elections by raising unlimited amounts of money from labor groups, corporations and wealthy individuals."[48] On June 25, 2012, U.S. District Court Judge Robert L. Wilkins issued an order stating that the FEC "is FORMALLY REPRIMANDED as a sanction for violating explicitly clear orders" (emphasis in original text) regarding confidentiality in the 2007 settlement agreement."[50]
The original Club's PAC supported the electoral bids of freshmen U.S. Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE), Doug Lamborn[51] (R-CO), Bill Sali[52] (R-ID), and Tim Walberg[53] (R-MI), who all were elected. Congressional Quarterly wrote that Smith's views did not differ greatly from those of his primary election rivals, but the endorsement of the Club for Growth's PAC "gave him the imprimatur of the most fiscally conservative candidate, and it helped boost him to the top of the campaign fundraising competition."[54]
The Club's PAC supported the reelection of Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX), who won in a heavily fought race against former Congressman Ciro Rodriguez.[5] The Club's PAC endorsed four candidates for U.S. Senate, including Mike Bouchard in Michigan, Mike McGavick in Washington, Michael Steele in Maryland, and Stephen Laffey in Rhode Island, who did not win.[5]
Support by the Club's PAC was not a guarantee of success: its candidate Sharron Angle was defeated in the Republican primary in Nevada's 2nd congressional district, although it spent more than $1 million on her campaign.[55] The Club's PAC also supported primary campaigns of Phil Krinkie in Minnesota and Kevin Calvey in Oklahoma, who lost, as did incumbent congressman Chris Chocola in Indiana,[7] John Gard in Wisconsin, and Rick O'Donnell in Colorado.[56]
The Club's PAC supported the reelection of Steve Chabot in Ohio.
The Club's PAC endorsed state senator Steve Buehrer in the special election for Ohio's 5th congressional district to replace the deceased Rep. Paul Gillmor.[77] Buehrer however was defeated by Bob Latta, the son of former Rep. Del Latta, in the Republican primary in November 2007 by a 44% to 40% margin.
The Club's PAC endorsed Paul Jost, the chairman of the Virginia chapter of the Club for Growth, in the contest to replace deceased Rep. Jo Ann Davis in Virginia's 1st congressional district.[78] In the nominating convention, Jost was defeated by state delegate Rob Wittman.
In Maryland's 1st congressional district, the Club's PAC endorsed state senator Andrew P. Harris against nine term incumbent Wayne Gilchrest. In the February 12 primary, Harris surged to a strong 44% to 32% victory. Gilchrest became the second incumbent Republican to be defeated by a candidate supported by the Club. The first was Rep. Joe Schwarz in Michigan in 2006.[9] Harris was, however, unable to win the general election.
In Georgia's 10th congressional district, the Club's PAC endorsed incumbent Paul Broun who defeated state representative Barry Fleming 71% to 29% in the July 15, 2008 primary election. Broun's victory surprised many political observers.[44]
In Arizona's 5th congressional district, the Club's PAC endorsed former Maricopa County Treasurer David Schweikert, who narrowly defeated former candidate Susan Bitter-Smith by a margin of 29.9% to 28%; there were three other candidates.[79] He did not win the general election.
During the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, the Club's PAC was critical of Mike Huckabee, attacking him as the "tax-increasing liberal governor of Arkansas".[80] Huckabee, in turn, referred to the Club for Growth as the "Club for Greed".[81]
The Club's PAC endorsed in the special election in New York's 23rd congressional district the Conservative Party of New York candidate, Doug Hoffman instead of Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava. With the Club pouring money into Hoffman's campaign, Scozzafava realized that she could not win and withdrew from the race the Sunday before the November 3 special election, endorsing the Democratic candidate Bill Owens.[86] Owens won the election in a district where portions had not had a Democratic congressman since the 19th century.[87]
Of the 26 general election candidates endorsed by Club for Growth in 2010, 20 won election.[88] The following chart lists candidates endorsed by the Club:[89]
In 2012, the Club for Growth PAC endorsed eighteen candidates, nine of whom were victorious:[95]

The Listening PostEgypt: Revolution revisited The ongoing revolution in Egypt has widened the gulf between state and private media. 26 Nov 2011 10:02 GMT | Arts & Culture, Latin America, Chile, Egypt, Russia On Listening Post this week: Egypt's ongoing revolution - and the widening gulf between state and private media. Plus, a Chilean TV drama brings back memories of the Pinochet era. Tens of thousands of Egyptians have returned to Tahrir Square in a violent stand-off with the country's interim military rulers, who have vowed to go ahead with parliamentary elections despite protesters' demands for them to step down. And like the coverage of the mass protests that brought down Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, earlier this year, these protests have been getting a rough ride on state-owned television. But nine months on, Egypt's media landscape is no longer the same. A range of private news channels have now emerged, reporting different sides of the story. Our News Divide this week looks at the tale of one country, one capital city, one square – and how it is being told in a multiplicity of conflicting narratives.In our Newsbytes this week: The government of Jacob Zuma, the South African president, moves a step closer to passing its controversial Protection of Information Bill; Iran's top media advisor is sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in various critical reports; Vladamir Putin, the Russian prime minister gets a frosty reception at a martial arts fight – but that is not how it was presented on state-owned media; and a new poll shows that a large percentage of Fox News viewers are less informed than people who do not watch TV.Next month will mark the fifth anniversary of the death of Augusto Pinochet, the former Chilean president. During his 18-year rule, thousands of Chileans were murdered or had gone missing. But due to tight censorship, it was a story the country's media failed to expose. Chile returned to democracy in 1990, but the media have been reluctant to touch on the thorny issues of the country's past, until recently. Over the past few months, Chileans have been tuning into a TV drama dealing with the military dictatorship.Los Archivos de Cardinal – The Cardinal's Archives – tells the story of a team of lawyers working with the Catholic church to expose the torture and killings carried out by Pinochet's regime - and it has provoked a fierce debate about the role of public broadcasting, in what remains a deeply polarised society. The Listening Post's Marcela Pizarro takes a look at the slick TV thriller that tells the story the Chilean media has tended to avoid.Balkan Beat Box is a band that formed in New York City but its members are mostly Israeli and its influences range from Jamaican dub, to Gypsy, to Arabic music. Their latest music video – that is profane as it is political – shows the band has some other influences as well. The title, and the song, contains one of those words you cannot say on television so we will just call it our Internet Video of the Week. We hope you enjoy the show.

Mall of America Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
W: N. Blackburn (6-2)
L: Z. Duke (7-5)
Blackburn handles Pirates through nine strong to help Twins take rubber match
MINNEAPOLIS -- Coming out of spring training, Nick Blackburn was fourth in the Minnesota Twins' rotation.
Not anymore.While other Twins starters have struggled with injuries and inconsistency over the first 2 1/2 months of the season, the 27-year-old right-hander has calmly and quietly asserted himself as the team's best pitcher.Blackburn tossed a six-hitter for his first career complete game Thursday, leading Minnesota to a 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates."He's basically been the stabilizer," pitching coach Rick Anderson said.Blackburn (6-2) struck out two and walked one to become the first Minnesota starter to go the distance since Kevin Slowey on July 28, 2008. Michael Cuddyer and Brian Buscher homered for the Twins, who took two of three from the Pirates.Zach Duke (7-5) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings for the Pirates, who lost their 13th straight road series to an AL opponent. The last time Pittsburgh won on the road in interleague play was at Tampa Bay in 2003."I thought Zach threw the ball really good," Pirates manager John Russell said. "Unfortunately, Blackburn was real good."Blackburn has not lost since May 5, when he lasted just 3 1/3 innings against Detroit.Since then, the even-keeled pitcher has gone at least seven innings in eight of nine starts. The only time he didn't was when he allowed two runs in six innings of a victory over Tampa Bay on May 31.While Scott Baker and Glen Perkins have missed time because of injuries and Francisco Liriano has struggled in his second full season back from Tommy John surgery, Blackburn has stepped to the forefront."Today I was pretty comfortable. I didn't feel like anything was going wrong," he said. "Everything was kind of in my control for the most part. It's a good feeling when you're out there."He allowed only two runners past first base in the first eight innings before Eric Hinske doubled and scored on a single by Adam LaRoche, spoiling the shutout bid."That's a little disappointing, but I'll take it," Blackburn said. "That's the first time I've gone all nine, so I was excited about that. Maybe next time."Brendan Harris had three hits and Justin Morneau added an RBI double for the Twins, who were without .425-hitting catcher Joe Mauer (flu).Minnesota loaded the bases with nobody out in the third inning, but Duke allowed just one run on Morneau's double-play grounder to escape with a 2-0 deficit.Duke also stranded a runner on third in the fifth by getting Carlos Gomez to ground out to third base and Harris to fly out to center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who covered almost as much of the Metrodome's outfield turf during this series as the puffy white roof.After watching McCutchen use track star-like speed to chase down four fly balls in the gaps in the fourth and fifth innings, Cuddyer did the only thing he could to avoid that -- he hit it over the fence in center for a 3-0 lead in the sixth.Left fielder Nyjer Morgan had no such luck. Morgan lost two more balls against the baseball-colored roof on Thursday and made an error that allowed Nick Punto to reach third on a double in the fifth.In the eighth, an exasperated Morgan lost a high pop fly from Cuddyer, who raced to third base for a triple. After Cuddyer was thrown out at the plate on a fielder's choice, Buscher hit a two-run homer for a 5-0 lead.The Twins move into a new outdoor ballpark next season, and Morgan couldn't be happier."They need to take that thing off. Take it off," Morgan said of the Teflon roof as he chuckled. "I don't want to see this place no more. They can come blow this [thing] down."Game notes
Brandon Moss had two hits for the Pirates. ... Duke has received a total of four runs in his five losses this season. ... Cuddyer became the fifth Twins player to reach 10 or more homers this season. They haven't had that many in double digits since 2005. The last time the Twins had five players hit 20 or more homers was 1986: Gary Gaetti, Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, Tom Brunansky and Roy Smalley.
