Louis Szekely (born September 12, 1967),[1] known professionally as Louis C.K. (/ˈluː.iː siːˈkeɪ/), is an American comedian, editor, writer, producer, director, and actor. He is the creator, star, writer, director,[5] and—until February 2012—editor[6] of the highly acclaimed FX comedy series Louie.[7][8] C.K. is noteworthy for innovating direct-to-fan sales of tickets to his stand-up shows and DRM-free video concert downloads via his website.[9] Over the course of his career, he has been nominated for 25 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning writing awards for Louie and his stand-up specials Live at the Beacon Theater (2011) and Oh My God (2013).[10]
C.K. was born in Washington, D.C.,[1][11][12] the son of Mary Louise Szekely (née Davis), a software engineer, and Luis Székely, an economist.[2] C.K.'s parents met at Harvard University, where his mother was completing her degree in a summer-school program.[3] They were married at St. Francis Church in Traverse City, Michigan.[13] He has three sisters.[14]
C.K.'s mother, an American of Irish Catholic ancestry, was originally from a farm in Michigan.[15] She graduated from Owosso High School in Owosso, Michigan. She attended University of Michigan and graduated from Ohio State University Phi Beta Kappa. C.K.'s maternal grandparents were M. Louise Davis and Alfred C. Davis.[13]
C.K.'s father was born in Mexico and is a Mexican citizen. C.K.'s father has degrees from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and Harvard University.[13] C.K.'s paternal grandfather, Dr. Geza Székely Schweiger, was a surgeon. Székely Schweiger was a Hungarian Jew whose family emigrated to Mexico, where he met C.K.'s paternal grandmother, Rosario Sánchez Morales.[16] Sánchez Morales was a Catholic Mexican of predominately Spanish ancestry, whose family had been in Mexico since the mid-1800s.[17] C.K.'s grandfather agreed to have his children raised Catholic, but was (according to C.K.) "quietly Jewish".[18] C.K.'s parents divorced and when his father remarried he converted to Orthodox Judaism, the faith of his new wife.[18]
C.K. has said that his father's whole family still lives in Mexico. Of note, C.K.'s paternal uncle Dr. Alberto Székely is an academic and an international consultant on environmental affairs who served as Mexico's Deputy Minister of Environment (2000–2003).[19]
Although C.K. was born in Washington, D.C., he only lived there until the age of one, when his family moved to Mexico City.[11] The family lived in Mexico City until C.K. was seven.[2] C.K.'s first language was Spanish; he has said that it was not until after the move to the U.S. that he began to learn English.[20] He still retains Mexican citizenship.[21]
Upon moving from Mexico to suburban Boston, C.K. decided he wanted to become a writer and comedian, citing Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and George Carlin as some of his influences.[3] When he was 10 years old, his parents divorced. C.K. said that his father was around but he did not see him much. C.K. and his three sisters were raised by their single mother in Newton, Massachusetts.[22] The fact that his mother had only "bad" TV shows to view upon returning home from work inspired him to work on television. In April 2005, he told The Observer: "I remember thinking in fifth grade, 'I have to get inside that box and make this shit better'. Because she deserves this. It made me mad that the shows were so bad."[22]
C.K. said he was raised Catholic, as his mother wanted them to have a religious framework and understanding, and they went to after-school Catholic class until they completed Communion.[18] An article on C.K. in Rolling Stone states:
C.K. was a depressive kid. In junior high he took to drugs, "closing myself off from feelings," he says. "Eighth and ninth grade were two solid years of dropping acid, snorting coke when somebody had it, Quaaludes, an alarming amount of pot, mescaline, drinking. By the time I got to high school, I was a recovered drug addict." C.K. ran for a time with a bad crowd, breaking into cars and snatching valuables within.[14]
The "In The Woods" pair of episodes in his TV series Louie are a loose dramatization of this period of his youth.
After graduating from Newton North High School, C.K. worked as an auto mechanic and at a public access TV cable station in Boston, while "summoning the courage to try stand-up."[2] Among other jobs he worked, C.K. "cleaned pools, fixed cars and spent a year as a Kentucky Fried Chicken cook; he brought home KFC turkey dinners two Thanksgivings in a row. After that, he clerked at a video store."[14] C.K. has said that working in public access TV gave him the tools and technical knowledge to make his short films and later his television shows. He has said: "Learning is my favorite thing".[9]
C.K.'s stage name is derived from an approximate English pronunciation of his Hungarian surname, Székely (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈseːkɛj]).[18]
His first attempt at stand-up was in 1984 at an open-mic night at a comedy club in Boston, Massachusetts, during the apex of the comedy boom. He was given five minutes of time, but had only two minutes of material.[23] He was so discouraged by the experience that he did not perform again for two years.[24] He and Marc Maron later reminisced about their early careers and friendship on Maron's WTF Podcast.[25]
As Boston's comedy scene grew, C.K. gradually achieved success, performing alongside acts such as Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke, and eventually he moved up to paid gigs, opening for Jerry Seinfeld and hosting comedy clubs[2] until he moved to Manhattan in 1989.[23] He performed his act on many televised programs, including Evening at the Improv and Star Search. In 1996 HBO released his first half-hour comedy special.[23]
C.K. has performed his stand-up frequently on shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Lopez Tonight, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. In August 2005, C.K. starred in a half-hour HBO special as part of the stand-up series One Night Stand.
Inspired by the work ethic of fellow comedian George Carlin, who had committed to dropping all of his existing material and starting over every year,[26] C.K. launched his first hour-long special, Shameless, in 2007, which aired on HBO and was later released on DVD. In March 2008, he recorded a second hour-long special, Chewed Up, which premiered on Showtime Network on October 4, 2008, and went on to be nominated for an Emmy for "Outstanding Writing in a Comedy or Variety Special". C.K. has said that "failure is the road to becoming a great comedian."[9]
On April 18, 2009, Louis recorded a concert film titled Hilarious. Unlike his previous specials—which had all been produced for television networks—Hilarious was produced independently, directed by C.K. himself, and sold to Epix and Comedy Central after it was complete. As a result, it was not released until late 2010. It was published on DVD and CD in 2011.[27] It is the first stand-up comedy film to be accepted into Sundance.[28]
In a 2010 interview, C.K. talked about how, after his divorce, he thought, "well, there goes my act." He alluded to the way that his marriage had been central to his act and his life, and he said that it took him approximately a year to realize "I'm accumulating stories here that are worth telling."[29] One element in his preparation for stand-up was training in the boxing gym, including with Lowell, Massachusetts fighter Micky Ward, trying to "learn how to ... do the grunt work and the boring, constant training so that you'll be fit enough to take the beating."[29]
On December 10, 2011, Louis C.K. released his fourth full-length special, Live at the Beacon Theater. Like Hilarious, it was produced independently and directed by C.K. However, unlike his earlier work, it was distributed digitally on the comedian's website, forgoing both physical and broadcast media. C.K. released the special for $5.00 and without DRM, hoping that these factors and the direct relationship between the artist and consumer would effectively deter piracy.[30] At the end of the special, the release of a new album, recorded at Carnegie Hall the previous year, is mentioned. As of December 21, 2011, the sales of the special from C.K.'s website has earned him over $1 million.[31]
The success of the special prompted other comedians, including Jim Gaffigan, Joe Rogan, and Aziz Ansari, to release their own specials with a similar business model.[32] On May 11, 2012, C.K. additionally made two audio-only downloads available for $5.00 each: WORD – Live at Carnegie Hall (and the audio version of his first HBO stand-up special, Shameless), as well as an audio-only version of Live at the Beacon Theater.[31]
C.K.'s fifth one-hour special, Oh My God, was recorded at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, and premiered on HBO April 13, 2013.[33] It is also sold and distributed using the same model as C.K. used for Live at the Beacon Theater.
C.K.'s credits as a writer include the Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Dana Carvey Show, and The Chris Rock Show. He has been quoted as describing his approach to writing as a "deconstruction" that is both painful and frightening.[14] His work for The Chris Rock Show was nominated for an Emmy Award for writing three times, winning "Best Writing in a Variety or Comedy Series" in 1999. He was also nominated for an Emmy Award for his work writing for Late Night with Conan O'Brien[7] C.K. wrote and directed the feature film Pootie Tang, which was adapted from a sketch that was featured on The Chris Rock Show. The film received largely negative reviews from critics, but has become a cult classic.[34][35] Though C.K. is credited as the director, he was fired at the end of filming with the film being re-edited by the studio.[36]
He also wrote and directed the independent black-and-white film Tomorrow Night (1998), which premiered at Sundance, and several shorter films, including six short films for the sketch comedy show Sunny Skies (1995) on the Showtime cable network.[23] C.K. self-released Tomorrow Night in 2014.[37] He was nominated for an Emmy Award for writing on his 2008 special, Chewed Up.
He won two Emmys in 2011 for the Louie episode "Pregnant"[38] and for his special Live at the Beacon Theater.[39]
C.K. has co-written two screenplays with Chris Rock: Down to Earth (2001) and I Think I Love My Wife (2007).
In June 2006, C.K. starred in Lucky Louie, a sitcom he created. The series premiered on HBO and was videotaped in front of a studio audience; it was HBO's first series in that format. Lucky Louie is described as a bluntly realistic portrayal of family life. HBO canceled the series after its first season.[40]
Other roles C.K. has played include a security guard in Role Models and a potential love interest for Amy Poehler's character in a multi-episode story arc on NBC's Parks and Recreation.[41] C.K. has also appeared in the films Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, Diminished Capacity, and The Invention of Lying. In 2013, C.K. had supporting roles in the critically acclaimed films Blue Jasmine and American Hustle.[42][43]
In August 2009, FX picked up his new series, Louie, which C.K. stars in, writes, directs, and edits.[44] The show features his stand-up routines blended with segments which are based to some extent on his offstage experiences.[45] The show premiered on June 29, 2010. Each season of Louie contains 13 episodes.[46] The show addresses life as a divorced, aging father.[29]
In season three, episodes dealt with a date with an unstable bookshop clerk (played by Parker Posey),[47] a doomed attempt to replace a retiring David Letterman, an aborted visit to C.K.'s father, and a dream-reality New Year's Eve episode in which C.K. ends up in China.[48] All of these made critic Matt Zoller Seitz's list of his favourite 25 comedy episodes of 2012.[49] According to Seitz, the episode "New Year's Eve" was "truly audacious".[48][49] C.K. has been nominated three times for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (2011, 2012, and 2013) for his work in Louie.
The show was renewed for a fourth season;[50] however, C.K. took a 19-month hiatus before season 4,[18] during which time he had roles in David O. Russell's American Hustle and Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.[51][52]
C.K. has an overall deal with FX Productions which while not related to C.K.'s FX series Louie, will be under his production company, Pig Newton, working with partner / producer Blair Breard. They will develop and executive produce pilots for FX Networks with "the option to write or direct any of these projects."[53] In January 2014, it was announced that C.K. is producing and co-writing a Zach Galifianakis-created comedy pilot for FX Networks.[54] The 10-episode single-camera comedy was ordered to series, will debut in 2016, and is called Baskets.[55] It will feature Galifianakis as the main character, a struggling clown named Chips Basket in a pilot episode written by Galifianakis, Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel.[56]
During the 2014 Television Critics Association presentations, FX Networks' John Landgraf reported that Louie will return in spring 2015 for a shorted fifth season of seven episodes—compared to the 13 episodes of prior seasons.[57]
As a voice actor, C.K. portrayed Brendon Small's estranged father, Andrew Small, in Home Movies, and appeared several times on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.
C.K. is a frequent guest on The Opie & Anthony Show, which also features his Lucky Louie co-star Jim Norton. C.K. was also a part of Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour with other comedians in 2007. He has appeared on on Sirius XM'sRaw Dog Comedy show, and in 2007 hosted a three-hour phone-in show on the service at the request of Opie & Anthony, during which he advised callers on their relationship troubles. As of May 2011, Louis has hosted over 107 hours of radio with Opie & Anthony. In the Louie episode "Barney / Never", Opie, Anthony, and Norton (along with comedian Amy Schumer) play the on-air talent of a stereotypical wacky morning radio program into which C.K.'s character is calling to promote a nearby gig.
During an interview with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on The Opie & Anthony Show, C.K. repeatedly asked Rumsfeld whether he is in fact a reptilian space alien who "eats the poor".[58] Rumsfeld declined to comment. The video has since gone viral.[58]
C.K. has been an occasional guest on The Bob & Tom Show, a showcase for comedians. He also worked with Robert Smigel on TV Funhouse shorts exclusively for Saturday Night Live, with topics ranging from politics to surrealism. C.K. hosted Saturday Night Live on November 3, 2012 and was subsequently Emmy nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.[7][59] He returned to host the show for a second time on March 29, 2014, for which he was once again nominated in the Emmys for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
C.K. was an early adopter/innovator in distributing both his work and others' via his website in a direct-to-consumer, DRM-free format. He has sold reasonably priced tickets for tours of his stand-up show via his website, circumventing the big ticket companies, creatively playing venues that aren't part of their system.[39] Because C.K. feels companies have created barriers to consumers obtaining products, he states his website is easy to use and has "closed the gap between how easy it was to steal it [versus] how easy it was to buy it."[9]
C.K. and artist/painter Alix Bailey married in 1995. They divorced in 2008.[60][61] Together, they had two daughters,[62] with C.K. and Bailey having joint custody.[29]
While C.K. was raised Catholic, he pokes fun at religion in his comedy and says he has "zero idea how everything got here". C.K. has also been quoted as saying, "if I were to make a list of possibilities, God would be pretty far down. But if I were to make a list of people that know what the fuck they are talking about, I would be really far down."[63]
Although he infrequently discusses his political views, C.K. has defended same-sex marriage in his stand-up[29] and has spoken negatively about capitalism.[64] As for political partisanship, C.K. states, "Some things I think are very conservative, or very liberal. I think when someone falls into one category for everything, I'm very suspicious. It doesn't make sense to me that you'd have the same solution to every issue."[65]

The battle lines have been drawn for one of the fiercest elections in the Asian Athletics Association as incumbent president and tainted politician Suresh Kalmadi is pitted against a tough rival in Dahlan Jumaan Al-Hamad of Qatar.
The local MP and former president of the Indian Olympic Association, who was ousted from the post following allegation of corruption charges relating to the conduct of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, has been president of the AAA since 2001 and is seeking a fourth consecutive term.
Hamad is currently vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) besides the president of the Qatar Athletics Federation. And with the West Asia countries backing him to the hilt, the election process which is one of the key agenda items in the AAA Congress here on Monday is expected to go down to the wire.
Besides the post of president, the Congress will also elect a senior vice president, five vice presidents and eight council members from among three, eight and 17 candidates who have filed their nominations for these posts.
In the 75th AAA council meeting on Sunday, it was decided that only the new council will be vested with the power to decide the host of the 21st Asian athletics championships to be held in 2015. China and Qatar are the two nations in the fray and a decision on this is also likely on Monday.

Peach Pie Dumpling
Author Notes: There is nothing complicated about this little dumpling. Puff pastry lining a muffin cup, one cut up peach per cup, sugar, corn starch and maybe a spoonful of homemade blueberry preserves before wrapping it up. It is pure peach, when you you take a bit. I usually make 6 at a time, but they are gone almost instantly. - MyCommunalTable
Serves 6
- 1 sheet, puff pastry, cut into 6 equal squares (approximently 4 1/2 x 4 1/2)
- 6 peaches, skinned & sliced
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
- 6 teaspoons heaping, blueberry preserves, optional
- Line each muffin cup with a puff pastry square.
- Taste cut peaches. If they are super sweet, cut the sugar. Mix peaches with sugar and cornstarch.
- Fill pastry lined cups with peaches piled high.
- Dollop a teaspoon of blueberry preserve on top, if desired.
- Pull corners of the square up together and twist, then seal.
- Place muffin tin on a baking sheet to prevent messing up your oven. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Pull out when pastry is puffed up and golden brown, inside peaches are bubbling up. Cool and enjoy. So hard to wait.

Every generation often re-embraces throwbacks from generations past, and the 1990s are no exception. We've seen a return of all things grunge and punk, as well as all the retro styles from the '60s and '70s that influenced the '90s comeback to fashion's forefront, and '90s hair styles are back for more, too. While some of us may be a bit too old to pull off these looks now because we probably wore them the first time around, it's fun to play with new styles and stay fresh and modern even as we age.
Flip through for 21 modern hair styles inspired by the '90s, including cuts, colors, updos, and accessories. Fun for inspiration, Halloween, and a little déjÝ vu for those of us who experienced it firsthand.

Clean, well maintained facility. Polite, accommodating staff/owners. For a low budget motel, we had no complaints except for the lack of handicap access to the main building. Access to a number of restaurants was very good. Close shopping facility was the Biggest mall.

yes i lake the fournitures and the prces i think ist at good way to by
These modern bar stools have a great look and design, and fortunately the seating is really easy to clean, without the material getting deteriorated. My bar needed a change so I freshened and lightened the look. It was a great success among the customers and a great deal for my pocket.
I love the fresh look of my new bar stools. They are so simple, comfortable and airy that the whole look became new, fresh and light. Not too much addition, elegance or overwhelming sophistication, just simple beauty and comfort. This is what I wanted to offer to my guests and this is what these stools are great for.
I love the beautiful material and color and material combination of my new bar stools. They are elegant with a simple and classic design and construction, just as I needed. I always prefer simplicity so I do not need modern and strange form pieces. The four bar stools ordered arrived in perfect quality and near the great looks they are really cozy and comfortable.

Today, Supreme Court Considers Law That Protects Abortion Clinic Employees and Patients
Today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in an important case for protecting women's access to reproductive health services. The case is McCullen v. Coakley, a case challenging a Massachusetts "buffer zone" law. The Massachusetts law simply regulates the conduct of the public by ensuring reproductive health care facilities have a 35-foot radius to keep their doors and driveways unobstructed for patient access.
The National Women's Law Center has signed on to an amicus brief in support of the Massachusetts law. The brief argues that the law advances a significant government interest in protecting the employees and patients who enter reproductive health clinics. The brief explains in detail the history of violence, obstruction, and harassment that clinics, employees, and patients have endured over the years, and the critical need for buffer zone laws such as the one in Massachusetts.
Indeed, clinics in Massachusetts have a particularly sad history with such violence; in late 1994, two of its clinics were targeted and two employees murdered in the light of day. Now, while we may have hoped that things have changed since 1994, the reality is that violence against abortion providers continues and women seeking services at reproductive health care facilities are also subject to harassment and obstruction.
Buffer zone laws are necessary and critical for protecting clinic employees and patients, maybe even more so now than ever. The Supreme Court should follow prior precedent and hold that this content- and viewpoint- neutral regulation does not violate the First Amendment.

Cala Bona Holidays
Those wanting a relaxing holiday without the stresses of daily life will love the simplicity of the newly rejuvenated fishing village in Cala Bona. Not a purposely built tourist resort, this village has adapted to cater those eager for holidays in Majorca but is still one of the quieter resorts on the island.
Situated on the east coast and close to Cala Millor, the resort boasts some spectacular beaches and stunning scenery. Those who love sightseeing will find this resort perfect but for those looking for a more active holiday with plenty of attractions, this may not be the holiday for you.
But if it is sun, sand and sea that you want for your break away with your family, then Cala Bona holidays are ideal!
Cala Bona Weather
As expected in Majorca, the summer months are most suitable for sun lovers wanting to come back home from their holidays with a golden tan. Sun cream will definitely be needed as temperatures reach range from the mid 20's to 30° Celsius and above.
In comparison, the winter month's temperatures are about half that. Autumn and winter have some unexpected rainfall but usually the weather is still fairly decent and is still great for a beach holiday in the Balearics with friends and family.

Things To Do on Cala Bona Holidays
Scenic boat trips are highly popular in the area especially those which offer glass bottom boats which travel along the east coast of Cala Bona. These boats are modern and usually have bars on board so you can either relax with a beer or a glass of wine or alternatively if the captain offers, get off and have a swim in the warm sea!
Sightseeing enthusiasts on holidays to Cala Bona will enjoy the spectacular stalagmites and stalactites of the nearby Caves of Drach, which offer not only fantastic scenery but also perfect for those who love to take photos. For the children, why not head to Cala Millor's safari park or the fantasy park outdoor play area. The weekly market at Son Servera is not to be missed for those who want to pick up a bargain!
This resort has managed to maintain it's individuality and not follow in the footsteps of a lot of commerical holiday resorts. Cala Bona still remains a favourite with British holiday makers due to it's traditional feel and relaxing atmosphere.
There are no festivals in Cala Bona itself but if you travel to the nearby resort of Cala Millor then there is more to find and enjoy. Tourism Week takes place during the last week of September which features a number of sports competitions, concerts and a colourful parade of floats which go through the town. If visiting on holidays in October, do not miss the Bahia de Cala Millor which attracts over 50 hot air balloons from all over Europe. Do not forget your camera!
The weekly market at Son Servera should not be missed and after a hard days shopping, why not head to a restaurant and try the local delicacies like paella and meaty stews.
Do not expect a lively nightlife on Cala Bona holidays as there are only a small number of bars but there are plenty of restaurants where you can taste the local delicacies. There is a choice of fast food restaurants with Chinese, Italian and Indian cuisine on offer. Those wanting to taste the local food should try a number of local menus which offer fresh fish which is caught daily, though some may be expensive.
For those that just want drinks, there are a number of British bars in nearby Cala Millor but entertainment tends to be centred on the hotels and quieter bars. If it is a night of clubbing that you want then you should head out in Santa Ponsa or Magalluf, both of which are renowned as party resorts.
A colourful harbour and beautiful beaches are the main focus points of this resort. Follow the narrow streets into the fishing village and take time to gaze in wonder at the stunning harbour. The beaches are the main attraction here as the long sandy beaches are ideal for children and those wanting to top up their tan.
Those not wanting to sit back and relax will find the Drach Caves attractive and they really show of the scenery of this holiday island. Wherever you go you will be greeted by scenery that will literally take your breath away.

If you want to head away from commercial destinations then Cala Bona holidays are ideal for you. Create your own customised holiday in Cala Bona by combining flights and hotels using our live booking system. Get started now - do not miss out on the best deal for your holiday!

JUST NORTH of the Arctic Circle on the coast of Alaska, there's a lush fairway of liquid emerald tundra upon which 129,000 members of the Porcupine caribou herd converge during the early part of summer to feast on succulent cotton grass, nurse their young, and escape airborne armadas of mosquitoes by dipping into the frigid waters of the Beaufort Sea. If the timing's right, this is one of the most magnificent wildlife spectacles on earth. Regrettably, however, we're here during the last week in July. And while not a single caribou is anywhere to be seen, the skeeters are everywhere. Right now, in fact, a cloud of them is zeroing in on a ridge where, poised before a CBS television crew, gazing with hooded blue eyes toward the ice-studded sea, and smearing his hand over an angry stain created by a bottle of deet that exploded in the pocket of his pants, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is offering up an impassioned paean to this patch of paradise.
"This is the largest pristine wilderness in North America," Kennedy croaks in a froggy quaver. "And it enriches us all because nature is the way that God communicates with us most forcefully—"
"Here we can see the Creator's richness, not only in this giant expanse of wetlands, but also in the mosquito population—"
"Yet oil companies want to treat this land as if it were a business to be liquidated. If we allow them to destroy this place, then all of humanity will be diminished, because—"
Kennedy's on a roll, but his soliloquy will have to wait until the wind picks up and the bugs subside. John Blackstone, the CBS correspondent, sighs with relief and mashes a mosquito net over his head. Pamela Miller, who runs VIP trips to Alaska's North Slope, spritzes her hair with another layer of deet. As we hike back to our camp, four miles up the Aichilik River, Kennedy turns to his 15-year-old son Bobby, who isn't looking too jazzed about having joined his father's latest adventure-travel-cum-environmental-activism vacation. "Now I see why the caribou jump in the ocean and freeze their asses off with big smiles on their faces," the elder Kennedy quips. "If people see this, they're gonna say, 'Go ahead and give this place to the oil companies.'"

36,000 Potential Cases Of Voter Fraud In North Carolina In 2012
Democrats will tell us that voter fraud is virtually non-existent….well, except when they lose an election (cough 2000, cough, 2004)
(WRAL) State elections officials said Wednesday that they're investigating hundreds of cases of voters who appear to have voted in two states and several dozen who appear to have voted after their deaths.
State lawmakers last year mandated the State Board of Elections to enter into an "Interstate Crosscheck" — a compact of 28 states that agreed to check their voter registration records against those of other states.: The program is run by a Kansas consortium, checking 101 million voter records. The largest states —: CA, FL, NY, and TX —: are not part of the consortium.
State Board of Elections Executive Director Kim Westbrook Strach delivered the report Wednesday to the legislative Elections Oversight committee.
Strach said North Carolina's check found 765 registered North Carolina voters who appear to match registered voters in other states on their first names, last names, dates of birth and the final four digits of their Social Security numbers. Those voters appear to have voted in North Carolina in 2012 and also voted in another state in 2012.
There are also an additional 36,000 names which match people who voted in other states, but there is no Social Security number match, because most of the states are not providing the last 4 of the SS#. There are also 13,416 dead voters on the rolls. 81 voted, though it looks like 30 voted by absentee ballot.
"I think the big bombshell today is that you have documented voter fraud that has occurred," said Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland. "We have over 36,000 people who apparently voted in this state illegally and committed felonies."
They are running a few ideas up the flagpole, and there would have to be coordination between the states. Of course, this has brought out the anti-voter ID whiners
Sen. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, pointed out that the current changes in voting laws and the requirement for voters to present photo identification at the polls will not stop anyone from voting in two states.
Voting rights advocate Bob Phillips with Common Cause NC said he, too, is concerned about the repoirt and wants to see the cases investigated.: But he said it still doesn't justify House Bill 589, the 2013 law that included voter ID and several other key changes.
"In my mind, it doesn't justify cutting early voting. It doesn't justify eliminating same-day voter registration. It has nothing to do with eliminating the pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds. A lot of what 589 did, that is not connected to this information," Phillips said. "But I'm saying – as an advocate for good government, and an advocate for easy, accessible voting – sure, this needs to be looked at."
Do they have a point? Of course. None of the 589 measures will stop this particular type of voting fraud, right? Ah, but it can. One must have a North Carolina ID to vote (or something else that shows you actually live here). It's not a perfect system, but it can help reduce the double voting. Either way, this shows that fraud does occur.
And you can bet your bottom dollar (not hard to find in the Obamaeconomy) that Democrats will fight tooth and nail against any reforms.

User friendly Jennifer from North Hills, CA– Verified Buyer I bought this to replace one that I had lost for my BFF. It is a little small for my toddler, but I like to rest his head on it while I change him. It's easy to wipe clean and is machine washable if needed. |

Defour ready for Red Devils move
27 Oct 2010 - 07:11:41
Standard Liege midfielder Steven Defour has claimed that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on his development.
The 22-year-old, who has made a first-team return after a prolonged spell on the sidelines with a serious foot injury, is highly thought of by Red Devils supremo Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite having the opportunity to depart his homeland in the past, the talented Belgium international is now ready to put his credentials to the test on the continent.
"I know that Manchester United are closely monitoring my situation.
There hasn't been any official contact yet though," he suggested.
"I've been sidelined for quite a while due to injury, but I'm playing at a high level again. The chance that I'll leave the club is rather big if I continue to play like I currently do.
"I've had the opportunity to leave Standard on more than once occasion in the past couple of seasons, but I loved the club too much to leave. However, I'm 22 years old now and I also have to think about myself.
"There comes a time when you just have to make the next step in your career, regardless of sentiments for any club."

Eat Less and then Weigh Less
By FatCat on October 31, 2012
I'm sitting in my kids' room waiting for them to fall into their naps. I'm in a danger zone as far as cravings. There are all sorts of tasty sweet things downstairs along with tasty other things like cheeses and breads and salads. As long as I'm up here, I'm okay. Once I go down, I'm not so sure what will happen. I have no plan for what I will eat. As well, I sampled quite a few sugar spice pumpkin seeds that I roasted the other night and had some bites of the moose pasta I made for the kids, so once again I don't really know what I've already consumed.
Except I do know that the one slice of swiss cheese I ate was a whopping 90 calories. Oye vay. I didn't expect it to be that many which makes me think that all the times I pop grated cheese into my mouth as I'm preparing something is providing me many more calories than I realize.
It's all about calories these days - again.
But you know what - it's working. The scale has the process rolling again. If only I can stick to it long enough to really have something to show for it before I stabalize and normalize and work on sustaining. If only!
Last night I pulled out some things from my costume box including dresses and tops and oh - my - they FIT! I don't even know why I had some of those things because there wasn't much hinting at any change in my life and they weren't even things I tremendously loved, but I had them and now they do fit and it was a lot of fun putting things on without that dreaded feeling that they might not even go on.
And I'm kinder now. I don't mind the rolls and pudges as I look in the mirror. They're a healthier level of rolls and pudges. I wouldn't be upset if they smoothed out a bit or disappeared all together, but I'm okay with them. I'm A-Okay with just being healthier.
Sigh - and with that I will go downstairs and face the temptations of the kitchen and the evening to come with it's pumpkin pancakes for dinner (grinning - doesn't that sound rather good) and pumpkin pie for post trick-or-treating and glasses of wine. And of course, a Butterfinger or two.

Professor Layton, Dragon Quest IX, and White Knight Chronicles developer Level-5 is moving forward with its plan to establish an office in the US. Level-5 International America Inc. will open in Santa Monica, California this September. The company will further expand in 2011 with an office somewhere in Europe.
CEO Akihiro Hino has said that these expansions are focused on releasing games overseas. At the very least, this should mean more localization staff, but it could also be a sign of Level-5 attempting to establish a publishing business outside of Japan. We're okay with there being a different logo on our Professor Layton games, as long as we have those games soon.

Dave's broken leg update: it's been exactly seven months since my car accident and I still have a big, metal fixator on my leg that looks like Zaphod Beeblebrox's hatrack. I have an appointment for an evaluation next week for another procedure; more likely involving a re-break of the leg, and some delicious application of pelvic (yeah, I said pelvic) bone matter. I should be in a waist cast for a few weeks. How the fuck am I gonna pound the pastor all that time??
