Does Congress have the guts to stand up to President George W. Bush and withhold funding for his illegal and immoral war in Iraq?
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill claim they do. Of course, they have claimed that before and then caved when Bush played the "support our troops" card.
Now Congressional leaders say they will withhold funding until after the first of the year and the propagandists at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are cranking out talking points saying the party of the donkey is making an ass of itself by abandoning our troops in the field.
Democrats say they are merely carrying out the will of voters who put them into power in the 2006 midterm elections but those same voters have waited in vain for 11 months to see that promise kept.
Bush has made it clear time and time again that he doesn't give a damn what the people think. He's the decider and only he, in his mind, is smart enough to make the decision.
So a new standoff begins.
Congress likely will hold off on sending President Bush money for Iraq until early next year, pushing the Pentagon to the brink of an accounting nightmare and deepening Democrats' conflict with the White House on the war.
Democrats say the tough approach is needed.
"Everybody knows that the president is stuck in his place, a place where he wants a 10-year war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
This week, the House passed, 218-203, a $50 billion bill that would pay for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan — about one-fourth of the amount Bush wants — but require that troops start coming home. The measure sets a goal of ending combat by Dec. 15, 2008.
The Senate planned to vote as early as Friday on the measure, although it was not expected to pass. Democrats hold a narrow majority and 60 votes are needed for the measure to advance.
Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday that if Congress was unable to pass legislation that sets a timetable on the war — the most likely scenario — they would drop the issue until next year. In the meantime, Democrats say, the Pentagon can eat into its $471 billion annual budget without being forced to take drastic steps.
"The days of a free lunch are over," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that unless Congress passes funding for the war within days, he will direct the Army and Marine Corps to begin developing plans to lay off employees and terminate contracts early next year.
Gates, who met with lawmakers on Wednesday, said he does not have the money or the flexibility to move funds around to adequately cover the costs of the continuing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"There is a misperception that this department can continue funding our troops in the field for an indefinite period of time through accounting maneuvers, that we can shuffle money around the department. This is a serious misconception," Gates told reporters at the Pentagon.
As a result, he said he is faced with the undesirable task of preparing to cease operations at Army bases by mid-February, and lay off about 100,000 defense department employees and an equal number of civilian contractors. A month later, he said, similar moves would have to be made by the Marines.
Some members of Congress believe the Pentagon can switch enough money to cover the war accounts, Gates said. But he added that he only has the flexibility to transfer about $3.7 billion, which is just one week's worth of war expenses. Lawmakers, he said, may not understand how complicated and restrictive the situation is.
Here's an interesting commentary I found this morning from our Freedom Phoenix group. Apparently our troops are questioning the sincerity of our V.P.
Off topic but I miss being able to see the amount of activity (posting) on the individual articles plus being able to click directly to the comments even when there were no "new" comments.
Bush and congress have got their heads stuck so far up each others ass that if one tripped they would all roll all the way from Washington to Florida. No the congress will not stand up to bush. Why should they? They are all on the same side, when behind closed doors. They just act like they are against him in public.
Heard Bush had a new way of financing the war. Make rolls of toilet paper out of Dollar bills and selling them on the market as commemorative handy wipes.
In my pursuit of what is wrong with this country, it has always been my opinion that the Federal Government and the CIA are an organized crime against the people of the United States. The following link pretty much sums it up.
Now that we know what the problem is, the question is what are we going to do about it?
"We'll never give in, never!" -Harry Reid
"No more blank checks Mr. President" -Nancy Pelosi
"HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA" -Klaus Hergeschimmer
Can congress stand up to him? Why haven't they put him in jail where he belongs?
It's tough to stand up to him because they are always bent over kissing his ass.In fact,I would not be surprised if they presented a bill asking him to rub chap stick on his hiney to protect their lips.
If Congress doesn't stand up to Bush, the Democrats may find themselves out of the majority again after the 2008 elections. It's not hard to understand why the Republicans are so happy with the low congressional approval ratings. Their problem, along with the idiot Bush is they won't acknowledge,even to themselves that Congress has low approval ratings because they won't stand up to Bush, not because the aren't playing nice with the resident and his bund.
A good start Mr. Gates would be to layoff your mercenary forces and give the security concerns back to the military where they belong.Same goes for Halliburton,Bectal,etc.
What does it matter if the dems cave now or in January? They will cave just as they have in the past. If they were going to stand up to Bush, they would have done it the last time Bush asked for money for the illegal war. But they didn't. If I recall correctly, they even tacked on several more billion to what Bush originally asked for. Hows that for standing up to Bush?!?? They are standing up to him alright: they are standing right beside him!
Nothing will change!
More fear tactics from the white-house, it is good to see the Bush Administration (via Gates) sticking to their over used strategy by making idle threats again. I think it speaks volumes how this administration would rather accelerate the recession of our economy by laying off 200,000+ government and privately contracted employees for the sake of keeping are friends and family in Iraq to protect "our" precious oil. Great to hear the Democrats are finally pinning this administration into a corner. Let-'em squirm!!! Just cross your fingers that the democrats hold true to their word.
I want to believe the Dems are finally growing a spine, but they've let me down too many times before. We're sick of this invasion, we want an end to it before we're broke, and someone in WAshington had better start listening to us. This is absurd, Dems, hitch up your panties and do the job we sent you to do!
HAHAHA. After doing a bit of research this $50 billion or 1/4 of what bush wants is…. you guessed it, enough money to fund the war for aprox. 4mo. So it seems like this posturing by the Demo's is merely a publicity stunt. The only way the pentagon will pick up the tab is if this bill does not pass the Senate, which it isn't supposed to pass but then again Bush wasn't ever elected President either…. I still recommend only giving bush enough money to feed and keep our troops safe and set a side more funding for when Bush decides to start withdrawing members of the armed forces. I wonder what Bush wants to do with the extra $50 Billion dollars he's requesting………?
Maybe the crooks who run the Pentagon can find the 2 trillion dollars they misplaced. That should be enough to keep Bush's Iraq crusade going.
Too many sticky fingers in the military-industrial complex: once money goes into that bottomless pit, it's gone forever.
Funny how Bush, who dumped our soldiers on false pretenses in inadequate numbers without armor and without a mission as 'bait' for a trap, now blames Democrats for his blunder.

Publisher's Description
+RiyazStudio Indian Music practice suite combines Tanpura and Tabla. It's the first software that actually sounds like a real tabla player - because it uses real recorded tabla loops, rather than mechanically placing tabla bols at regular intervals. Coarse and fine pitch control sets both Tanpura and Tabla. Tabla tempo is finely adjustable and can even be set by tapping a key at the desired speed. RiyazStudio Standard plays the rhythms: Teental, Ektal, Rupaktal, Jhaptal, Addhatal/Sitarkhani/Punjabi, Keherwa, Dadra, Deepchandi, Jhoomra, Ada Chautal, Mattatal, Tilwada and Soolfakta - using samples recorded at speeds ranging from vilambit (slow) to ati drut (very fast) - with the Pakhawaj adding Chautal and Dhammar.
What's new in this version:
- Includes taster of our upcoming RiyazStudio Lehera; playing melodic loops to accompany Tabla or Kathak practice.
- Injects extra energy into your practice with our 'tempo acceleration' option; gradually increasing speed as you play.

5 Ways To Beat Peak Summer Airfares
4. Book during your Tuesday lunch hour
If travelers haven't figured it out by now, airlines don't like to distinguish themselves from each other by much. This is why there have been a dozen
attempted fare hikes this year: If one carrier hikes fares and the others refuse, it won't take.
"Airlines have one overriding mantra right now: Never be one dollar more or less then my competitor," Seaney says. "If they're one dollar more than their competitor, they're on Page 5 of comparison shopping results."
The same rule applies to airline sales, which go through a very regimented process before they reach a consumer. Airlines can change airfares during standardized fees three times a day: At 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. EST. It usually takes two hours for those changes to post, so when airlines put out a last-minute sale on Monday -- as is usually the case -- the resulting series of events makes 3 p.m. EST prime time for finding discounted airfares.
"The 8 p.m. feed on Monday is when an airline posts a sale," Seaney says. "The others carriers will file at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. the next day to match, and it takes two hours to process." That's not exactly a flexible time, as seats fill up quickly and the airlines don't feel the need to keep those discounted rates out there any longer than necessary. By 8 p.m. Thursday, those sale fares are pulled and travelers who waited until the weekend to book are out of luck. "Most consumers buy their tickets inside of 30 days before departure, including leisure travelers," Seaney says. "It puts pressure on them during the summertime when seats start to sell out, and if they just shop a day earlier ... I like to tell people, at least for summertime, every day you wait adds $5 to your virtual ticket price."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

It's really cold out, right? The area where MGE spits out warm water, at the end of Blount, even appeared to be frozen, yet there is what looked like open water just off of the causeway/Olin Park area.
I think Mendota is closed up, of course it's hard to see the whole thing. Seems odd.

The application of force against his opponents is Assad's go-to means of keeping control, just as it was for his father and predecessor, Hafez al-Assad. With at least 9,000 Syrians dead from the fighting, and scores in detention, where many have been tortured, it's hard to see the calls for his overthrow dying down. And if he really does give up the use of political terror against his enemies, the chorus demanding his demise will probably grow louder still.
There are already strong signs that Annan is not going to get his way on the cease-fire. The daily Al-Watan, linked to Syria's government, quoted an unnamed government official as saying "there is no... deadline" for pulling troops out of cities. Opposition activists said that tanks remain active in Deraa today, despite government claims to the contrary, and said dozens have died in ongoing fighting. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 62 Syrians were killed across the country yesterday.
Syrian opposition figures aren't the only ones who don't share the UN's optimism. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé said Assad "is deceiving us" and warned of a push for tougher international action against Syria. The UN is currently trying to negotiate the dispatch of 250 or so unarmed military observers to determine if a cease-fire is achieved. Mr. Juppé said further steps will be considered at the UN Security Council if Syria doesn't allow observers in soon.

I think the answer to "who will have instigated the ugliness" may actually be...Obama (and Edwards). Remember, Clinton started out with a positive campaign and continued in this vein until attacked relentlessly by Obama and Edwards.
Also, let's not forget that the majority of registered Democrats has typically been favoring Clinton (imagine the audacity!). Thus, although it is true that "many" Americans wanted Obama to wrap it up on Tuesday, it is also true--and much more relevant--that the majority of Democrats (including, according to the polls, half of Obama supporters) did not.
But I agree that it was highly inconsiderate of Clinton to ignore The Economist's diktat that she end her campaign.

One must keep in perspective too. I'm not positve about Washington, but Oregon and California have state minimum wages higher than the national minimum wage. They also have state income taxes making take home smaller. There are other states that have higher state minimums than the national. National minimum also does not apply to some businesses that do not deal interstate.
As for my opinion, minimum wage is too high. Everytime it goes up chasing that holy grail, low wage earners get hurt.

Below is a look at Saturday's 2A and 3A boys soccer playoff games involving Catawba County teams:
2A playoffs Lexington (8-11-5) at Newton-Conover (21-1), 6 p.m. (at Bunker Hill)
3A playoffs Asheville (12-7-2) at Fred T. Foard (18-5-2), 7 p.m. Hickory (15-6-1) at Weddington (19-1-1), 6 p.m.
Madison Bumgarner is the 2014 World Series MVP.
The 25-year-old left-handed pitcher led the San Francisco Giants to a 4-3 series victory against the Kansas City Royals.
Led by Bumgarner's five-inning relief effort, San Francisco defeated Kansas City 3-2 on the road in Game 4 of the World Series.
With the victory, the Hickory native wins his third World Series.
Below is a look at Wednesday's boys soccer playoff scores involving Catawba County teams:
2A brackets Trinity 3, Bandys 1 (Trojans end season 9-11-1) Newton-Conover 8, Madison 0 (from Tuesday)
3A brackets Fred T. Foard 10, Kings Mountain 1 (final/mercy rule) A.C. Reynolds 5, St. Stephens 1 (Indians end season 10-11) Hickory 4, Concord 2 (from Tuesday)

Oct. 28-29 scores Newton-Conover 40, River Bend 12 (N-CMS clinches conference title) Mill Creek 12, Maiden 6 Arndt 22, Jacobs Fork 8 Northview 26, Grandview 20
Driving back from Tuesday's 2A West Region final in girls volleyball between Bunker Hill and Hendersonville, I reflected on the season's final match and also the Lady Bears' remarkable run.
Bunker Hill fell in the contest to the two-time defending state champion Lady Bearcats, 3-0, but the match — and the season for that matter — was much more than the final result.
Below is a look at Tuesday's playoff scores and Wednesday's playoff matches involving Catawba County boys soccer teams:
2A playoffs Newton-Conover 8, Madison 0 Bandys (9-10-1) at Trinity (15-4-2), 6 p.m. tonight
3A playoffs Hickory 4, Concord 2 Kings Mountain (10-10-1) at Fred T. Foard (17-3-2), 6:30 p.m. tonight

ABC's Teddy Davis reports that Health Care for America Now, a liberal advocacy group, is launching a new ad pressuring Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe on the public option.
HCAN is spending $175,000 to air the ad on broadcast television, radio, and cable.
Two weeks ago, the group's television ad in the state of Maine targeted Snowe and fellow Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
The new ad focuses just on Snowe because the group's local organizers consider her to be more receptive to their message than Collins.
Watch the ads – "Insured" and "Maine Small Business" – HERE.
Teddy also got hold of the latest ad against the public option from Conservatives for Patients' Rights, led by Rick Scott.
The conservative group made a $600,000 cable buy on CNN and Fox News. You can watch that ad HERE.

The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
This is the inspiring true story of a son and his mother, who start a "book club" that brings them together as her life comes to a close. Over the next two years, Will and Mary Anne carry on conversations that are both wide-ranging and deeply personal, prompted by an eclectic array of books and a shared passion for reading. Their list jumps from classic to popular, from poetry to mysteries, from fantastic to spiritual. The issues they discuss include questions of faith and courage as well as everyday topics such as expressing gratitude and learning to listen. Throughout, they are constantly reminded of the power of books to comfort us, astonish us, teach us, and tell us what we need to do with our lives and in the world. Reading isn't the opposite of doing; it's the opposite of dying.

Photography and causation: responding to scruton's scepticism
Phillips, Dawn M.. (2009) Photography and causation: responding to scruton's scepticism. British Journal of Aesthetics, Vol.49 (No.4 Sp. Iss. SI). pp. 327-340. ISSN 0007-0904

According to Roger Scruton, it is not possible for photographs to be representational art. Most responses to Scruton's scepticism are versions of the claim that Scruton disregards the extent to which intentionality features in photography; but these cannot force him to give up his notion of the ideal photograph. My approach is to argue that Scruton has misconstrued the role Of causation in his discussion of photography. I claim that although Scruton insists that the ideal photograph is defined by its 'merely causal' provenance, in fact details to take the causal provenance of photographs seriously enough. To replace Scruton's notion of the ideal photograph, I offer a substantive account of the causal provenance of photographs, centred on the distinctive role of 'the photographic event'. I conclude that, with a proper understanding of the photographic process, we have good reason to re-open the question of photography as a representational art.

I'm on the edge with this bronzer. Sometimes it looks great (when i have a bit of a tan and i use a light hand), but sometimes it looks slightly red-orange-copper, which i dislike. It is easy to go overboard and can make pores look bigger. Not great on a bad skin day. Im using Chantecaille's Tahiti bronzer now and it looks like most bronzers out there, brownish orange, no shimmer. I not completely satisfied with either products and will continue my search. I guess my standards are too high and might never be matched. Want to try Stephane Marais' bronzer next. However, GA bronzer is very finely milled and will probably look amazing on most others
I had finally thought that I had found my HG bronzer in NARS Laguna after having tried MANY others..But I still wanted to try this because of all the raves on the board..I'm SO glad I did..This gives the true tan look I wanted..And it's so sheer,that you have to layer so you really can't use too much.The sheerness is not a downfall but the thing that I love most about this..You CAN'T make a mistake.It doesn't turn orange..No over the top sparkle or glitter..Just the right shade of brown w/a hint of shimmer and the slightest touch of red so it gives true color.I gave it a 4 l/s rating instead of a 5 because of the over the top price but even still,I would repurchase it again
I have never used bronzer before. I am a MMM to tan depending on the season and didn't understand why I would ever need it?!?! The MA at Costa Mesa GA counter used this on me when I was asking for suggestions and tips for my wedding day makeup. I bought this the very same day I tried it. It really did add that extra something that tied my whole look together. She advised on using a very good brush and to actually make sure to include my neck and shoulders (my wedding dress was halter type and bared my shoulders). All my wedding pictures looked great! My wedding was a Hawaiian style theme including fresh orchid leis and I cannot express enough how much my GA look worked with the whole theme. I even used the bronzer on my Maid of Honor and she looked spectacular in the wedding photos. This is hands down the only bronzer I will ever use or buy. It's worth every penny!!! You can check out my other reviews under the general eyeshadows heading. So try this bronzer! It gives you that nice sunkissed glow and you can control the intensity...
At the end of the day, I have to admit that I'm not as impressed with Armani cosmetics as I feel I "should" be. The packaging is sleek and chic, the colors are deeply pigmented and long-lasting, deposit well and smoothly--but I'm not writing home to Mother over any of them. The best of the bunch is the bronzer, and I'm not even jumping up and down over that. Mind you, Armani is not Wet & Wild--it's extremely high quality stuff, made well. I'm just not sure I wouldn't rather have MAC. Armani lasts well--so does MAC. Armani has elegant packaging--so does MAC (AND they recycle it!). Armani has a limited shade range, especially in foundations--MAC ROCKS for shade choice in all areas. I hated MAC when it first became available--love it now. I loved Armani when it first became available--well.... I really don't think that, for the money, Armani is a better product. It doesn't last LONGER on my oily skin, doesn't offer a good shade range, and in general doesn't seem to be living up to the hype. I may be the minority here, but I would rather spend my dollars elsewhere.....
I've tried them all and this is the best. I've been wearing almost everything Armani for the past two years and don't know why I waited so long to try this. My HG used to be Guerlain but this is much better. No orange, no red, no muddy brown tones. It looks scary dark in the compact but it's very sheer.
It's pretty great! I use #1...looks very dark but it's not. I always used Nars Laguna but feel this is as good if not better. Very natural and buildable. No streaks or glitter. Doesn't make me breakout...it's a keeper!
YAY! This is a definitely the best bronzer out there. I've been using Nars Laguna for about a year and was fairly happy with it but I've been on a hunt to try something else. I tried Armani because of the reviews here and you guys are right. It is a very natural color- looks just like a beautiful tan. It makes my skin look beautiful and just a little bit goes a long way. You can layer it for a more dramatic look or use just a little bit for a nice glow. There is just a tiny bit of sparkle and absolutely no orange or red. This bronzer is much better than Nars Laguna and I thought that was the best. The packaging is great too. I got it from Saks for only $33- not a bad price considering that it will last for a long time. You definitely have to try this!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO doubt in my mind this is the best bronzer ever made. i have tried them all. this would work on any skintone. it's perfect. i threw my other ones away- hundreds of dollars worth of bronzers, including nars, chanel, estee...
More reviews by teenage3478bag
YEAH! i found my HG bronzing powder. it looks really scary in the packaging but goes on so sheer. i bought the brush to go with this. I love the packaging because it is soo chic(black and faint black logo). the mirror is crystal clear also. this will last me forever! thansk mua!

Rob is so sweet! He turned down fan photos so that the band could remain the center of attention on April 30 in NYC, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. Keep reading for all the details!
Robert Pattinson hit up the Bowery Ballroom with Katy Perry on April 30, where they enjoyed a Daughter concert in NYC! Seeing as how Rob, 26, and Katy, 28, are superstars in the Hollywood universe, the Twilight hunk politely decided not to take photos with fans, likely because he was hoping to not steal the spotlight from the English indie folk band. How nice!
Robert Pattinson's Daughter Fan Encounter
An eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Well my roommate asked him for a photo and he denied her. He was polite. He was dashing. You know? What you'd expect. Looked like a BK hipster. After my roommate chatted, he put his hood up for the rest of the night and headed to the VIP."
Unfortunately, Rob's hood wasn't enough to hide his identity. Fans, who spotted the sexy Brit, were starstruck and shared their joy on Twitter.
Robert Pattinson At Daughter Concert: Fans Tweet About Spotting
"Sexxxy Robert Pattinson is a sight for sore eyes, too. #concertheaven" tweeted @UnlovedMusic.
"A live dose of Phoenix, Mumford + Sons and Daughter (with a touch of Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson). Pretty good way to spend a night?" tweeted @BennyWagStaff.
"ROBERT PATTINSON JUST WALKED BY ME AT THIS CONCERT. HOLY SH*T. THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE," said @michkaalil, followed by "Can we just talk about how I'm standing right NEXT to effing Robert Pattinson now OMFG."
"KATY PERRY AND ROBERT PATTINSON ARE HERE AND IDK HOW TO HANDLE MYSELF," tweeted @rubyfreebird.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Wasn't that so nice of Rob to try to not steal the spotlight?

I have to say hes not a teenager or 23 like Kristen hes a fully grown MAN an ADULT some of his pals have children Hes parading around like a 23 year old clubbing it at night yahooo . It doesnt matter what Kristen did nearly a year ago he got back with her at his invitation Hes living with her taking her out etc BUT hes still not showing any commitment to her 9mnths after the liason if he doesnt rust her now and is back to where they wee before with a better undestanding a more open relationship then they never will I dont thnk its apropriate for him a 27 year old Fully Grown man to be out and about with his pals with other women around its just not on
She got caught in her indiscretion visa vie Piccies He seems to be rubbing it in her face now AS in see Ive taken her back arent I nice BUT the oher side is shes alone if she goes out with her pals shes a whore a skank as you yanks say or a Lesbian If he goes out its fine hes a man hes just larking around having fun he deserves it WHY? Double standards in 2013 He can dance the night away with women including the single KP whos never been with out a man She cant seem to function with out one. Yet Kristens supposed to stay behind still after all this time being punished by the media press and seems like him too I watched Nottinghil agin the other night when Julia Roberts said to HUgh Grant you dont get it pictures are forever anytime in the future these will be brought up I can understand now and see what she meant or Cris Curtis the writer meant Maybe you younguns had a point when you said she will live with this forever IT doesnt make it right not a jot. Does he love her I dont know so far hes done nothing to prove he does or he doesnt I hope hes not using her? Shes been with him since she was 17 not for her the dating bevy of fellas in her teens and now at 23 Shes still seems to be waiting IM afraid Id be giving him an ulitmatum BUT then maybe thats what he wants maybe like a married women I knew whod left her hubbie for another man she waited till her ex met someone else Before she asked for a Divorce so she didnt look the guilty one Maybe thats what hes doing maybe hes waiting for Kristen to say enough?
Not because Katy is there, and so happen Rob is there too, that there is somethng going on, either some people are too sensitive or very nervous that Rob will be taken away by someone. If you don't trust the person, there is what you call insecurity. Why somebody will think there is an argument between Katy and Kristen. No person that knows Rob will be off limit to attend a party or concert because Rob is there and Kristen is not.

Cool, that he was polite,though. I think that the fame thing is beginning to wear on him.

Glad to know that Rob has had fun :)

Though several lawsuits have sought to overturn the NAB's actions and its legal authority, none has been successful. Then came the Camelot case, a messy ordeal unlike anything the board had handled before. Some in the community are convinced the NAB's management of the matter has blunted its effectiveness, and perhaps rendered it impotent. Regardless, as the old war over Biscayne Boulevard continues to rage, no one believes that last month's ruling will be the last word on what board chairman Robert L. Valledor calls the "bad karma motel."
Most people still refer to the Camelot by the name it bore for the past decade, the Metro Motel. Before that it was called the Miamian. Since October 31, 1974 A Halloween A interrupted only by two brief changes of ownership, the three-story Art Deco building at 7126 Biscayne Blvd. has been the property of Orlando and Manuela Mesa, Cuban immigrants now in their seventies. These days the Camelot, a boxy structure painted in shades of terra cotta with purple trim, has a large For Sale sign in a front window. The Mesas, who also own several rental properties, as well as the Miami Quilting Center in the Design District, are asking $300,000 for the property, but they say they've had only one inquiry by phone. Though saturated with the grime that seeps into old buildings, the Thirties-era motel's twenty tattered rooms are brightened somewhat by the stained-glass hues of bedspreads sewn at the Quilting Center.
They've sold the place twice, but the Mesas have never quite managed to get rid of it; when the buyers defaulted, they retook possession because they held the mortgage. In the fall of 1992, when the motel was owned by a man named Charles Dagher, the Metro was shut down for eight months by the NAB, which cited it as a location for drug sales and prostitution. (According to the attorney who handled the subsequent foreclosure, Dagher left the country with several hundred thousand dollars in insurance money he'd collected to refurbish the structure after Hurricane Andrew.)
Manuela Mesa wanted to rename the motel because she and her husband both loved the romance and beauty associated with the mythical kingdom of Camelot. "My wife, she is always inventing Camelots," says Orlando Mesa, a thin man with a snow-white pompadour and parchment skin that covers a craggy countenance. "That's her dream, to change the face of the motel."
This past November, just before the rechristening, the Mesas received a letter from the NAB advising them that during a summertime undercover investigation, police had documented seven drug buys in the motel's back parking lot and in two rooms. Evidence of the illicit activity was scheduled to be reviewed by the board at its November 22, 1994, hearing, after which members would vote on whether to deem the motel a public nuisance and penalize the owners accordingly. Three other boulevard motels, the Seven Seas, the Shalimar, and the Economy Inn, received similar letters.
The Mesas admit their motel hosted some unsavory guests last summer. Neighbors, including the proprietor of the King Motel next door, had complained regularly that the Mesas' place was a magnet for trouble. A phone booth outside the front door was a hangout of sorts until an altercation resulted in a shooting one night and Orlando Mesa had the phone moved into the lobby. He also fenced in his parking lot and installed security cameras. In late September he fired his manager, who, he had discovered, had been getting a piece of the action on the third floor, the preferred address of dealers and prostitutes.
"When [that manager] was here, I knew something was wrong," Mesa recalls in his lilting, Spanish-accented voice. "He used to use a phrase I'll never forget: 'This [motel] is a church.' But we knew something was cooking behind it. One night my wife parked across the street and we see prostitutes walking in and out. So we tell them to leave. Two days later, the same thing; we throw out two more. So I tell him, 'I left your church without parishioners.'" After that Mesa asked one of the motel's residents, a woman named Sandy who lived in Room 12 with a half-dozen cats and two dogs, to take over as manager in exchange for the $140-per-week rent.
The owner and his new manager made an effort to report problems to the police. They met with neighborhood homeowners, who were happy to see the changes Mesa made but remained convinced the improvements weren't enough to keep undesirables away permanently. As boulevard business operators are encouraged to do, the Mesas also consulted with the department's neighborhood resource officers (NROs), who work out of the Upper Eastside Neighborhood Enhancement Team office at Biscayne and 66th Street. The Mesas' relationship was so good with one of those cops, Darrell Nichols, that in October they took on the officer and his family as tenants, leasing them a house in the area.
When the Mesas learned their motel would come under the NAB's scrutiny, they were indignant, believing past problems had been resolved. Officer Nichols, too, felt the Mesas should be given credit for the improvements they had made, and he lobbied for leniency with local residents and with David Forestier, the assistant city attorney who argues cases in front of the NAB. Aware of Nichols's off-duty connection to the Mesas, however, community leaders were uneasy and at least one person complained to Nichols's superiors.

The dark, classic steak house looks timeless, with the famed meat locker still windowed up front, the circa-1927 horseshoe bar intact and the walls chockablock with framed photos of household names of yore. Mature servers in jackets and long aprons deftly wheel around linen-covered carts bearing rib eyes and sirloins still glistening from the grill. Sides are mighty, such as the biggest baked potato you ever beheld and a pile of lightly battered onion rings nestled in a white cloth napkin. Restaurateur Dean Poll (Loeb Central Park Boathouse) has kept the menu traditional, though there are modern touches like hamachi crudo with yuzu jalapeño vinaigrette. Look no further for dining pre- or post-show in the Theatre District—Jersey Boys, All the Way, Rocky and Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella are all steps away.

text: 4th of July TV marathons: Chomp down on 'The Walking Dead' and othersBy Jackson McHenry, EWUpdated 11:26 AM ET, Fri July 4, 2014Fans can enjoy a "Walking Dead" marathon over the holiday weekend.Story highlightsThere are plenty of shows to watch during the holiday weekendThe shows are on basic and premium cableEverything from old school "Batman" to "Masters of Sex"The weekend of July 4th is a time for doing American things: grilling, watching fireworks, ignoring zoning restrictions and setting off your own fireworks. But shenanigans are tiring, you know? The sun will give you a sunburn. The grill will make your clothes smell like smoke. We at EW much prefer to test our endurance in other ways, mostly by watching TV.There's a whole set of marathons on for the weekend, some highly publicized (can you make it through three straight days of The Walking Dead?), some obscure and ready for love (a marathon of the animated Transformers series, which is surely better than seeing the new movie in theaters).

Grandpa's Burger Haven
Grandpa's Burger Haven is a hole-in-the-wall in the truest sense, a spot where you shout your order through an actual hole in the wall. Originally, this was all there was to Grandpa's -- just a little white-and-chrome box with a kitchen inside and a window to shout your order through. Today there's a kind of enclosed solarium where customers can stand out of the wind and rain while they wait -- but there are still no tables, no waiters or waitresses, no plates. Orders are written on the white bags that eventually hold your old-school burgers. There was a time when all hamburger stands were like this; now, almost no hamburger stands are. That's why Grandpa's is such a treasure.

So I have gotten so many different issues on this in the past but I really need to know if anyone has tried this.
I will be flying out of New Jersey (Newark International Airport specifically) next month and I'd like to take my Glock with me. It does not have hi cap mags and I can legally own it at my duty station in New York state. In the past I have transported Shotguns to the airport at Newark and not had an issue.
My questions are these:
- Do I need a permit to own/transport my handgun in Jersey provided it is locked up/unloaded/etc?
- Will I have an issue with a Handgun at Newark?

Humorous or whimsical verse that features absurd characters and actions and often contains evocative but meaningless words coined for the verse. It is unlike the ritualistic gibberish of children's counting-out rhymes in that it makes such words sound purposeful. It differs from other comic verse in its resistance to any rational or allegorical interpretation. Most nonsense verse has been written for children and is modern, dating from the beginning of the 19th century. Examples include Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense (1846), Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" (1871), and Hilaire Belloc's Bad Child's Book of Beasts (1896). Seealso limerick.
Learn more about nonsense verse with a free trial on Britannica.com.
In some cases, the humor of nonsense verse is based on the incompatibility of phrases which make grammatical sense but semantic nonsense, as in the traditional:
Other nonsense verse makes use of nonsense words -- words without a clear meaning or any meaning at all. Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear both made good use of this type of nonsense in some of their verse. In these poems, the grammar and syntax are perfectly well-formed, and each nonsense word has a clear part of speech. The first verse of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky ...
... illustrates this nonsense technique perfectly, despite Humpty Dumpty's later explanation of some of the unclear words within it.
Still other nonsense verse uses muddled or ambiguous grammar as well as invented words, as in John Lennon's "The Faulty Bagnose":
Here, awoy fills the place of "away" in the expression "far away", but also suggests the exclamation "ahoy", suitable to a voyage (or pilgriffage?). Likewise, worled and gurled suggest "world" and "girl" but have the -ed form of a past-tense verb. Somforbe resists interpretation -- possibly a noun; possibly a slurred verb phrase.
However not all nonsense verse relies on word play. Some conjures up nonsensical situations, for instance Edward Lear's poem, The Jumblies has a perfectly comprehensible chorus.
The significance of the colour of their heads and hands is not apparent and the verse appears to be nonsense.
Likewise Christopher Isherwood's poem ...
from 'Poems Past and Present', J.M. Dent and Sons (Canada) Ltd. fourth printing, 1959
... makes grammatical and semantic sense and yet lies so earnestly and absurdly that it qualifies as complete nonsense.
There is a long tradition of nonsense verse in English. The Anglo-Saxon riddles are an early form. For instance ...
(Answer: probably a bookworm) The poem is nonsense until one figures out the answer.
The poem ...
... makes even more extreme use of word incompatibility by pairing a number of polar opposites such as day/night, paralyzed/walking, dry/drowned, lie/true, in conjunction with lesser incompatibilities such as swords/shot and rubber/wall.
Many nursery rhymes are nonsense, unless one knows the context or background; some say that Mother Goose rhymes were originally written to parody the aristocracy while appearing to be nothing more than nonsense nursery rhymes. For instance ...
Limericks are probably the best known of nonsense verse, although the form tends to be used for bawdy or straightforward humorous effect nowadays rather than for nonsensical effect.
Among writers in English noted for nonsense verse are Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash, Mervyn Peake, Colin West, Roald Dahl, Dr. Seuss and Spike Milligan. The Martian Poets and Ivor Cutler are considered by some to be in the nonsense tradition.
Russian nonsense poets include Daniil Kharms and Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, particularly his work under the pseudonym Kozma Prutkov, and some French exponents are Charles Cros and Robert Desnos. The best-known Dutch Nonsense poet is Cees Buddingh'.
Among German writers, Christian Morgenstern and Ringelnatz are the best-known ones, and both still popular. Robert Gernhardt is a contemporary one. Morgenstern's Nasobēm is an imaginary being, though less frightful than the Jabberwock:
Original | Translation |
Auf seinen Nasen schreitet einher das Nasobēm, von seinem Kind begleitet. Es steht noch nicht im Brehm. Es steht noch nicht im Meyer. Und auch im Brockhaus nicht. Es trat aus meiner Leyer zum ersten Mal ans Licht. Auf seinen Nasen schreitet (wie schon gesagt) seitdem, von seinem Kind begleitet, einher das Nasobēm. |
Upon its noses strideth Along the Noseybum, With it its child abideth. It's not yet found in Brehm (a zoological reference work). It's not yet found in Meyer (a dictionary equivalent to Webster's). Nor in the Brockhaus (another dictionary, equivalent to the OED). It trotted from my lyre, As first it came to be. Upon its noses strideth (As said before) since then, With it its child abideth, Along the Noseybum. |
F.W. Bernstein's observation that
Die schärfsten Kritiker der Elche | The sharpest critics of the elks |
waren früher selber welche | used to be ones themselves |
One contemporary example of nonsense verse is Vogon poetry, found in Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Cultural anxieties about fatness and the attendant stigmatisation of fat bodies, have lent a medical authority and cultural legitimacy to what can be described as 'fat-phobia'. Against the backdrop of the ever-growing medicalisation, pathologisation, and commodification of fatness, coupled with the moral panic over an alleged 'obesity epidemic', this volume brings together the latest scholarship from various critical disciplines to challenge existing ideas of fat and fat embodiment.Shedding light on the ways in which fat embodiment is lived, experienced, regulated and (re)produced across a range of cultural sites and contexts, Queering Fat Embodiment destabilises established ideas about fat bodies, making explicit the intersectionality of fat identities and thereby countering the assertion that fat studies has in recent years reproduced a white, ableist, heteronormative subjectivity in its analyses. A critical queer examination on fatness, Queering Fat Embodiment will be of interest to scholars of cultural and queer theory, sociology and media studies, working on questions of embodiment, stigmatisation and gender and sexuality.
Contents: Introduction: why queering fat embodiment?, Jackie Wykes; Queering body size and shape: performativity, the closet, shame and orientation, Robyn Longhurst; Becoming Travolta, Kimberley Dark; The performance of fat: the spectre outside the house of desire, Stefanie A. Jones; On fatness and fluidity: a meditation, Kathleen LeBesco; Chubby boys with strap-ons: queering fat transmasculine embodiment, James Burford and Sam Orchard; Causing a commotion: queering fat in cyberspace, Cat Pausé; Flaunting fat: sex with the lights on, Jenny Lee; Queering the linkages and divergences: the relationship between fatness and disability and the hope for a livable world, Zoë Meleo-Erwin; Bear arts naked: queer activism and the fat male body, Scott Beattie; Fashion's 'forgotten woman': how fat bodies queer fashion and consumption, Margitte Kristjansson; Index.
About the Editor: Cat Pausé is Lecturer in Human Development and Fat Studies Researcher at Massey University, New Zealand.Jackie Wykes is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Culture and Communications at the University of Melbourne, AustraliaSamantha Murray is the author of The 'Fat' Female Body, and co-editor of Somatechnics: Queering the Technologisation of Bodies.
Reviews: 'Queering Fat Embodiment is the first book to focus on the intersection of queer studies and fat studies, and promises to be a classic in its field. What could be more exciting than discussions of fat and queer fashion, desire, performance, cyberspace, and politics, as well as the fluidity of gender identity, bodies, and sexuality? It's a great read.'Esther D. Rothblum, San Diego State University, USA'Queering Fat Embodiment is an important contribution to the emerging literature of Fat Studies because it restates the necessity for radical critique and makes space for anti-assimilationist activism. The book offers an exciting balance of better-known contributors and fresh new voices and I highly recommend it to anybody interested in developing a critical understanding of fat and obesity.'Dr Charlotte Cooper, charlottecooper.net, obesitytimebomb.blogspot.co.uk, twitter.com/thebeefer

Duck Calls, Garter Belts, and Bouquets
by Ashton Taylor on 08/20/13
How would you like for a celebrity to crash your wedding or event? It seems like more and more news stories like these are happening... Just last month the grease lightening hottie (I think he is hot for an old guy okay. LOL) John Travolta himself crashed a wedding.
I am thinking that most Americans would rather see Willie Robertson crash or show up at their wedding. Simply for the fact that the ratings for Duck Dynasty are insane and also... come on. They are relatable to the average American and not to mention AMAZING. I think I would rather Uncle Si show up at my wedding though... Just Saying. This superfan couple was speechless when their hero showed up at their big day.
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA (CNN) -- A Pennsylvania couple, sharing both their love for each other and their love for the A&E reality show "Duck Dynasty" tied the knot at a field and stream store Saturday. But just as the couple finished their vows, a special and unexpected guest arrived.
It was her dream to walk down the aisle to duck calls. Surrounded by friends, family, and a couple hundred strangers, 26-year-old Mehgan Cook married Charlie Miller right in the middle of the new field and stream store.
The bride in a camo sash, the groom in his boots under an arbor of wild animals, the couple wasn't prepared for what would happen after the 'I do's'.
Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson surprised his super-fans with congratulations. Mehgan says, "It was like Christmas morning when you were a little kid. I was like, 'Ohhhh my goodness.'"
Charlie says, "That's a first for me and it's good to be a part of that. They look like my kind of folks."
Willie was at the store opening to sign autographs. It was the bride's mom's idea to have the wedding at the store. Charlie says, "Ever since I was a little kid, that's all we did, was hunt and fish so, I didn't want to be in no church in a tuxedo. I wanted to feel comfortable and just have fun!"
The folks at field and stream played along, and convinced Willie to surprise the couple and their families; a dream for Meghan who never thought she'd get married.
In October 2009, her fiancé Louis Young was killed in a car crash the week before their wedding. Two years later to the day, Meghan met Charlie at a memorial for Young. She says, "We've been together ever since. So my life ended at the accident site and it started there again."
And as the happy couple starts their life together, Willie has some advice, "Just love each other and forgive each other."
The Mouth's Moron of the Moment
by Ashton Taylor on 08/20/13
With the beginning of this new school year... be glad this lady isn't one of your kiddos teachers. Some teachers want to stimulate young minds. Others prefer to send stimulants by mail.
Jennifer Krogman, 40, was arrested at her home last month after police received a report that the middle school teacher had packaged a "small amount" of methamphetamine to be shipped out of state, Redlands, Calif., police Lt. Travis Martinez told the Redlands Daily Facts.
Krogman, who teaches dance, health and physical education teacher at Clement Middle School, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and being under the influence of a stimulant, according to police.
She had previously written a blog on the school's website entitled "Taking Responsibility for our Actions."
"Personal responsibility is seen as very important because it reveals how honest a person is and therefore how much we can trust them," Krogman wrote in the 2010 blog post. "There is a great deal of debate on the issue of how far a society should go in making sure that every person takes care of his/her personal responsibilities."
According to a statement released by Redlands Unified School District, it is their policy to place employees on paid administrative leave pending the "resolution of the criminal charges and the district's internal investigation."
The Mouth's Moron of the Moment
by Ashton Taylor on 08/19/13
I know that many kids have spent some time prior from today (YAY BACK TO SCHOOL! WOOO!!!!) writing their name on all of their school supplies. In fact, I know parents that had to write their name on every single CRAYON. What the heck!?! ! That is just plain crazy. But I do. Be glad that your our your kids name is not this. This would have given you hand cramps. Meet my moron of the moment.
(From the Huffington Post)
Nearly two years after what may be the world's best name change, Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop is back behind bars.
Born Jeffrey Drew Wilschke in the suburbs of Chicago, Zopittybop-bop-bop legally changed his name in 2011. The sheer awesomeness of the moniker first made headlines in January 2012, when Mr. Zopittybop-bop-bop was arrested on charges of marijuana possession, carrying a concealed weapon, and probation violation in Madison, Wis.
He managed to stay out of the news for many months, but he was arrested last month in Washington County, Iowa, on charges including felony possession of a controlled substance and operation of a motor vehicle without registration.
This week, Zopittybop-bop-bop spoke with the Wisconsin State Journal about the true meaning behind his patently ridiculous name. Here's the breakdown:
BEEZOW: "The explosion of awareness of the interconnectedness of the infinite love in the universe.
DOO-DOO: "The struggle of our daily lives with that awareness, that with love comes chaos." That's not exactly what we think of when we hear "doo-doo," but OK.
ZOPITTYBOP-BOP-BOP: "The outcome of that struggle, which is often ironic, especially because all life ends in death"
Despite his apparent interest in "the infinite love in the universe," Zopittybop-bop-bop is staunchly against gay rights, based on his Facebook page. On June 27 -- a day after the Supreme Court ruled that a federal same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional -- Zopittybop-bop-bop posted:
Today was probably the most ridiculous, offensive, laid back, misleading, and off-centered decision by the Supreme Court in US history. All of you clowns jumping around like it's some kind of beautiful victory really makes me worried.
What happened to infinite love, Beezow?

Now, I have thought of some hair brained schemes as a kid trying to make some money. Everything from Lemonade/Hot Chocolate Stands, selling hand made paintings, etc. I was an entrepreneur at the age of 5.
I once had a TON of Pokémon Cards (they were at one time really cool back in 97) and my brother and I sold all of our cards for over 100 to the local younger neighborhood kids. I remember they stole the money from their parents or something crazy like that being the scenario.
One of the times I had to go to the principals office back in my hay day in Greenbrier Middle School...was because I started a school gossip newspaper and was going to charge $1 per issue. I ended up getting swats over that... simply because of the content in my tabloid. (I was cutting edge and should have been writing for USWeekly/People/Star Magazine when I was 13.)
With that said, I admire anyone trying to work and make a dollar. But this hair brained scheme takes the cake. LOL!

No lion -- that's a dog.
Visitors at the zoo in the People's Park of Luohe in Henan, China, got in an uproar after a Tibetan mastiff was placed in a cage labeled "African lion." According to the AFP, the dog spoiled the not-so-clever ruse when it began to bark.
Judging by pictures of the exhibit that circulated on Chinese Twitter analog Sina Weibo, the so-called "lion" wasn't all that convincing to begin with.
Lions are cats, by the way. People do seem to have trouble remembering that.
According to AFP, visitors felt cheated out of the 15 yuan ($2.45) they'd spent to see the bogus exhibit, which also reportedly mislabeled "coypu rodents in a snake's cage, a white fox in a leopard's den, and another dog in a wolf pen."
"The African lions will be back. They went to another zoo to breed," a zoo administrator reportedly told the Oriental Daily, as quoted by the South China Morning Post.
Sure. They're off "breeding." Maybe when they come back, they'll have cubs: Cubs that look suspiciously like Tibetan mastiff puppies. Fortunately, that wouldn't be a total loss, considering how cute they are.
Ms.Kay & Phil -A Loving Example
by Ashton Taylor on 08/15/13
I watched the season premier of Duck Dynasty last night on A&E. It was precious. Marriage has its ups and downs and if you have read any of the Duck Dynasty books.. you would know a little bit more about this relationship and where it has been, and where it is now. Ms. Kay and Phil, to me -have a great example of what a "real life" love story would be. With all of that said, to see their loving, Godly relationship on blast last night on the episode I hate to admit I got a little teary eyed.
When Ms. Kay was saying her vows, it not only reminded me of my wedding (two months ago-today!) but it was refreshing to hear a couple that genuinely after almost 50 years still loved and were devoted to each other. It was inspiring! The scenery also reminded me of our rustic outdoor wedding complete with lace, burlap, and mason jars. The arrrrrbor that Mountain Man made was similar to our cross idea that we had at our wedding. It was every country girls dream. LOL.
The episode actually sparked a few ideas. I can not wait to find a tree now and carve our names in it. (I thought that was so sweet) Getting Lane to participate might be harder than to actually carve in a tree. HA! But, that would be something that we can go and look at for years to come. Now, where can I find a good tree?
And dont lie! I know you are a total softy and got teary eyed too!
