Petraeus right to resign?
Education Reform Could Have Been A Winning Issue
The question of the week seems to be, how can the GOP appeal to a wider variety of Americans? Here's an idea: They can boast more about their leadership on education reform.
Education reform is and has always been a bipartisan issue. But while the movement numbers a handful of Democrats among its truly committed, it was built on the intellectual energy of conservatives, and has been propelled by the energy, for the most part, of Republican elected officials. Success in making fundamental changes to educate poor and minority children and strengthening the quality of education for all kids has been, and continues to be, primarily a Republican achievement.
It is positive that many people in the myriad and growing number of education reform groups and foundations have differing political views. But it was, and continues to be, Republicans who shattered the common myths that have stymied reform. For decades, these myths – about class sizes mattering, about teacher tenure being critical for success, about money being the answer, to name a few - had been propped up by traditional civil rights and child-centered organizations.
Republicans challenged the education establishment to account for decades of failure and started talking about providing alternatives, and about closing failing public schools. The initial impetus - the first ideas and first law for charter schools - were from liberal academics and a liberal Minnesota. But it was conservatives who took up the banner and provided the leadership that led to the best charter school laws in the most populous states. It was Republican governors who found common ground with African-American democrats to bring about publicly funded scholarships for kids – vouchers – in Milwaukee and Cleveland, a trend followed in fourteen states.
Some Democratic state legislators bolstered the work of their Republican Governors. But one wouldn't have happened without the other.
So where was this issue during the presidential campaign? Republicans didn't even visit the cities that owe their education salvation to this leadership. While strong reformers who are Republicans continue to run and win elections in states, Republicans at the national level seem not to understand that in supporting educational choice they are supporting a civil right, and that they are the leaders in this support. Republican embrace of individual freedom and liberties over government at the local, state and federal level is an anchor for education reform. And it is repulsive to those who manage and protect the status quo.
Tuesday's results are not the only wake-up call. Here's another one: Democrats are working hard to own this issue. Do they deserve the credit? Will they advance the movement? No, but President Obama and his party have vowed to make their party the party of education reform. A recent missive from the Democrats for Education Reform declared Obama "EdReformer in Chief." He has done little to merit such a title.
We've praised Obama's candor and vocalization of the problems facing American education. We've commended the power his Education secretary has wielded to talk about issues that most reformers embrace. But his Administration is conspicuously quiet on the issue of real school choice. And while they talk about ensuring real performance pay for teachers, underneath the talk, the teachers unions are still in charge.
Think about the Democratic Party and this bedrock constituency. Unions once helped those most in need, but today they are keeping those poorest children, those who cannot afford to change zip codes or pay tuition to escape, in failing schools.
President Obama and his majority at the national level continue to oppose attempts to give those students choices. Absent leadership, the nation sits quietly as we shutter hundreds of exceptional Catholic schools that have educated Black and Latino communities, and that educated the Greatest Generation prior to them.
And what were we treated to this election cycle? While Romney's platform supported parents and students over union prerogatives, neither candidate ran on the issue of ensuring children are educated by whatever means necessary. It almost seems it's not politically correct to acknowledge that Republicans do something about education reform, while Democrats are forced to negotiate with their supporters, always to reduced effect.
So now what? Republicans should be loudly boasting of their continuing leadership. They can rip a page from the playbook of Jeb Bush. He challenged the education establishment, pushed and later enacted school choice programs and tough evaluations for schools and teachers in Florida, and won handily - twice! In the last election cycle, solid, reform-minded Governors were elected in 18 of 37 states. This election brought another two. These Governors appealed to minority voters who, exit polls tell us, helped President Obama. They could help future Republican candidates.
And think of the women voters who helped sweep President Obama back into the White House. Rather than hearing about vital education issues, women were told someone was tampering with their rights.
This was a colossal missed opportunity: Our polls show it is women between the ages of 25 and 45, not yet moms but intending to be, who consider educational choice almost as critical as any other issue. The Romney education agenda was more in line with the views of women, Hispanics and even African-Americans. But we only began to hear about in the final days of the campaign. By then it was too late to go to Cleveland to discuss the importance Republicans place on empowering parents to make better education choices. Too late to articulate that Republican leadership yielded, and continues to yield, the strongest charter laws. Too late to make the point that performance pay and accountability are issues Republicans took up, in the face of strenuous objection from the unions (who campaign for their opponents).
This is what they should have done. This is what they still could do. Next time.
Does Dolan's appearance blur religion and politics?
Was President Obama's speech at Notre Dame a blurring of the lines between religion and politics?
Many may have been outraged because of the inconsistency of the Catholic faith's teachings with those policies espoused by the Obama administration, but few saw that encounter as crossing a political or religious line.
As Newsweek editor and author Jon Meacham has pointed out in "American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers and the Making of a Nation," we've long had a comfortable and necessary co-mingling of faith and politics in this country, as people and their beliefs cannot be naturally separated. The political conventions - as extensions of the political process - are critical events in time that should be inclusive of the faith traditions that guided this country's founding, regardless of denomination.

I'm not quite sure I got this down right. Things are more confusing just when I begin to understand. What on earth am I supposed to do? Is there something right to say for every moment? Cause that's how it seems. I feel like I'm making simple mistakes that- in anyone else's case- wouldn't have ever been encountered to begin with. This isn't one of those oh-my-life-is-so-hard rants, its actually something else, but even I don't know what category this would fall under. I've never really been through this part of life, and even now, it might just be a fabricated mentality. I'm not making any contact with the issue. This is the long distance between. Just like that distance, its out of my reach. I'm not in control of whatever this is so I'll just lay back, let it unfold how it wants, and see what happens. As far as power and authority goes, I'm practically still a kid, so nothing is gonna go my way.

Rev Pac's plan to draft Andrew Napolitano for POTUS in 2016! Hell yes!
Submitted by gizzy on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 21:24If there is one political figure I am more aligned with ideologically than Ron Paul, it is Andrew Napolitano...so this news makes me ecstatic! There is NO better candidate for the Liberty Movement than the Judge...period. We need to ensure this petition receives huge attention to show the Judge that we stand with him! spread the word folks!

Veterans for JAN!
Not Michael's boss, Jan, from The Office, you silly's! Judge Andrew Napolitano for POTUS!
What do you guys think of this line up:
-Rand Paul for POTUS (we can debate on Rand later)
-Judge Napa for AG
-Ron Paul for Sec. of Treasury
-General Wesly Clark for Joint Chief of Staff
-Bradley Manning for Director of CIA
-Julian Assange for Sec. of State (Hey, everyone wants transparency)
Is that like a pipe dream mixed with a wet dream or can the 2 mix?
Alright, I tried to make you chuckle with the last 2, but I think Manning could be someone of significance if given the opportunity. After all, he's US ARMY and he shows LDRSHIP.
Lima-1, out.
If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.

BS to 'even MORE liberty minded than even Ron Paul'. Different

Rev Pac Spent Just $172,000 To Help Ron Paul
The Rev Pac that just had this article about them:
"Gary Franchi's Revolution PAC Raised More Than $1.2 Million And Spent Just $172,000 To Help Ron Paul"
I like the Judge. But don't let Rev Pac use him to be their piggy bank.
I experienced this firsthand. Rev Pac raised over $110,000 dollars using the image of the Super Brochure to mail Iowa and New Hampshire. They were only supposed to mail New Hampshire to not create confusion and give them more time to get the multiple items (brochure, DVD, letter) put together. I did not protest when they added Iowa to their web site. But when I called to verify the production schedule of the DVD's the day before Thanksgiving, I found out that they weren't even produced. Erik and I quickly talked to Rev Pac and Gary. It was quite clear that they had no intention of purchasing brochures. And they never did produce a DVD.
THIS IS THE REASON NEW HAMPSHIRE WAS NOT MAILED. New Hampshire was the State that would have had the largest positive effect from the mailing of the Super Brochures. Erik and I had to work double time to just get Iowa mailed. Iowa results are obvious to anyone who goes and looks at RealClearPolitics.com under Iowa poll numbers. There are two very large stair steps and are the exact time frame when the brochures arrived first to Republicans and then to Independents.
Had I not found out about Rev Pac and them not wanting to do the actual mailings, the blame would have been put on the Super Brochure. We would have been discredited. Instead, Rev Pac was put under pressure. What is amazing is their response. They spent the next months trying to do everything they could against the Super Brochure from enormous posts on web sites to making a video to not use it. Actions tell ones motive.
Because of all this I have found out a lot about Gary. How he got the email list from the late Aaron Russo. How he was able to give the impression he was the "successor" to him. How every project Gary touches ends up either disappearing (have you heard much about Freedom to Fascism lately???) or becomes an embarrassment to the Liberty movement.
This is why I will never work with Gary Franchi or any of his projects. If a project has him on it, I will not be involved. Period. I hope others learn from my mistake.
In Liberty,
Curt Schultz
Owner of RonPaulProducts.com and the Super Brochure

I have not made a comment or posted on the DP in many months, this wonderful and yet completely absurd idea compells me to rejoin the fray.
Napolitano/Mack would be my personal dream ticket, and if I had any reasonable expectation whatsoever that there was even the slightest chance of success, I would be all in on a Napolitano bid in 2016 regardless of the potential VP.
It is with great sorrow however, that I must inform/remind this hopeful crowd that "leaders" for lack of a better word, are not elected but rather selected from a list of approved candidates.
Whatever shadowy group or groups (Luciferian, Illuminist, Corporate Globalist Mafioso et al) responsible for giving us such peace and freedom loving candidates as Obama, Romney, McCain, Bush and Clinton would simply never allow it.
To even imagine the possibility of a Napolitano presidential bid presumes that there will even be an election, or for that matter, an America in 2016. Both of these presumptions in the light of current events and ancient wisdom seem highly unlikely, if not completely out of the realm of possibility. Absurd, unrealistic, albeit heartwarming notions like restoring the Republic are great conversation starters, but in the end they are merely bedtime stories, sheep counting sheep.
The Republic was sold to the highest bidder, America if not already expired, is at the very least brain dead on life support.
There is still hope, as long as there is Life there is hope, but the hope of this nation will not be realized through political adventure, has it ever?

...you'll be in trouble. However, if you also don't prepare for having options if there still is a chance in 2016, you'll also be in trouble.
What are we supposed to do? Run for the hills? Maybe we will need to; but if not, are you advocating we all be caught flat-footed with not even an attempt at doing anything politically?

I do not put my hope in government, but in the King of Kings. Should America survive till the next election, and should Mr. Napolitano be a candidate in tthat election, he will surely have my vote.
Until that time my energies will be directed elsewhere. We wrestle not with flesh and blood....
Peace to you my friend.

Hey, I know that verse from somewhere... :)
And I agree with that being the priority and framework for everything in life -- including politics, though, not excluding it.
If nobody tries, then you certainly won't have a Napolitano option in 2016.
If we do try, we MAY have that option.
You know, the old story about the man refusing all the various forms of rescue that came his way, because, no, he was waiting for God to help?
If we give up and expect God to do all the work while we hunker down in our bunkers and expect a George Washington or Ron Paul or Judge Napolitano to just materialize in front of us with no effort on our part, I think we may end up rather disappointed, reflecting on all the missed opportunities.
Why does it have to be an either-or matter? Why not both-and?

Hillary unfortunately appeals to moderate statist republicans who are borderline repub/democrats, and she'll clean someone's clock. Looks like we're in for another 4-8 years of increased statism, tax increases and loss of rights, to the point where there isn't any difference beteween the US and Europe.

I've said it before and I'll say it again
If Nap Runs as a Rep like RP did he could be a home run.
*The Fox crowd is familiar with him and like him so, it should be easy to win many of them over because they haven't heard the "he's a kook" stuff they heard about Ron for years.
* He'd crush the others in a Debate as their babbling and issue avoidance would open the door for him to make them look foolish. (judges are really good at cutting through lawyers double speak and allot of our politicians are lawyers)
*just like Ron he'd bring more liberty candidates into the Fold.
Unless he's got some weird skeleton in the closet he should be the guy.

could you imagine the Judge
could you imagine the Judge on the same stage in a debate as the fools the GOP would throw up there? I'd be the most amazing site ever. Imagine the Judge delivering the same message that Ron Paul delivered...but with his strong stern voice & charisma. Once Americans saw him in comparison to the other bafoons they'll have, he'd clearly stand out as THE MAN for the job.

The judge can't be president
in 2016. The next president will be a woman or some other "minority".
It's like watching a scripted episode of Amazing Race. You know what is going to happen at certain points because it is the politically correct decision.
But I am hoping that Napolitano can't be president for a whole other reason. Because even if he or Paul were to become president it has become clear that it would not stop the underlying problems with society in general and would not bring back all that is lost.

If That is true, either Hillary Clinton or Condolezza Rice
will be President. Those are the two closest to statist ideals that they can nominate.

If I recall,
Rand also made a vow. He made a vow when he was elected to support the Republican Nominee. Apparently, he is a man of his word. From what I've gathered, Rand's endorsement didn't change the outcome of the race. His father has done a great job at attracting the youth to the movement, but any candidate will lose if he doesn't have the support of the mainstream public. If he plans on running and winning, he's going to need the vote from everyone, not just our "pure" votes.
I'm not exactly a "Rand-Lover," but I do support the bid of those who can further the movement and cause of Liberty.

I'm a fan of Judge Napolitano
I'm a fan of Judge Napolitano for appealing to the mainstream, but I feel like all of these drawn out donation appeals suck way too much money out of the liberty movement at large. Keep your money close to you and the anti-establishment businesses near you. Start community gardens with your money or donate it to a medical marijuana patient in need. The local happenings, like urban gardens and referendums to legalize marijuana have done far more(in decades) for liberty than any push for donations to presidential campaigns.

I remind folks if the cogop/gop/rnc/establishment keeps opposing the colorado constitution and 2/3 of the voters. Then cogop and gop will be a 3rd party sooner then they think!
I am gonna hold off donating till later in the cycle. I will never donate or spend a ounce of my time on folks who endorsed or supported the establishment(obamney).

I just signed the petition
and after you click submit your hit w/this message
Thank you for signing the petition!
We are dedicating our time, our energy and our financial resources for the next four years to organize a grass-roots campaign to draft Judge Andrew Napolitano as the Liberty Movement's new helmsman, a man who really could win on principle in 2016 and who everyone in the Movement, and many people outside it, can rally round enthusiastically.
Your gift of $25, $50, $100 – even $1,000 or more if you can possibly spare it – will help us create the critical mass needed to Draft the Judge!
Considering the other post w/regards to Gary Franchi & the 83% spending on admin fee's I'll be certain to NOT donate a dime. But willing to lend my signature to draft Judge Nap!

I'm investing in the Judge, just like I did the Doc.
$20.16 a month isn't going to break the bank for me. And it may well preserve the constitution.

As long as the $20.16 a month
is actually dedicated to the issue of Nap running and not utilized to front load the expenses of a bunch of parasites. It seems a bit premature to dedicate any resources to groups who are seeming to crawl out of the wood works. I have a feeling this "petition" is nothing but a money making venture for a few individuals who are not really interested in the Liberty movement.
There are no politicians or bankers in foxholes.

U know what f*** ozzy he's a f***in joke compaired to hasek that's like tryin to compare patrik roy with felix potvin. Hasek is the s*** best goalie ever best attitude reflexes (though now I'm unsure he's 48) id love to see him play even on the wings. Him in the winged wheel was the best time ever for me watchin the wings. My absolute favorite goalie of all time and u wanna say ozzie the two bit joke that couldn't give us a solid track performance. Everytime ozzy won was the team in front of him hasek most of his carrier had no team and was still amazing. Don't disgrace a legend by compairing him to a fraud. Remember we never traded hasek for poor performance but we did get rid of ozzie and then he bounced around a few teams before hanging it up. Hasek were ever u go I hope you prove it to these haters that ur still the best there is I know ill be watchin.

Title: | Oxygen isotopes in diatom silica : a new understanding of silica-water oxygen isotope fractionation in diatom frustules and an application of diatom d180 values as a record of paleohydrologic variability in a middle-Pleistocene lacrustine core from the Valles Caldera, New Mexico |

Degree Level: | Doctoral |
Abstract: | I present oxygen isotope data from modern diatom frustules that were collected from freshwater systems in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico. The frustules display a constant silica-water fractionation over the measured temperature range (5.1 to 37.8°C) regardless of species. This relationship is in close agreement with other published silica-water fractionation factors for laboratory cultured diatom samples; however, it is as much as 8‰ lower than equilibrium quartz-water fractionations and 3 to 4‰ lower than observed silica water fractionations in diatomaceous silica collected from sediment traps and sediment cores. Post mortem loss of organic material results in an alteration or 'maturation' of diatom silica in which silica reequilibrates with a silica-water fractionation closer to the equilibrium quartz-water fractionation. Post-mortem alteration of silica d18O values occurs within 0.5 years in diatom frustules from a lacustrine setting in the Valles Caldera, New Mexico resulting in an increase of ~7.4‰ in the d18O values. The rapid post-mortem alteration of diatom d18O values explains much of the disparate data regarding silica-water fractionation for diatom silica and has profound implications for the use of diatom silica d18O values as a paleoclimate proxy. In the setting of open basin lacustrine environments where bottom temperatures are nearly constant at 4ºC, the maturation effect may facilitate reconstruction of variations in paleowater d18O values without the conflating influence of fluctuating water temperature and variable d18O water values that occur at the surface. Lastly, I present d18O values of diatom silica from a middle-Pleistocene lacustrine core (VC-3) from the Valles Caldera, northern New Mexico, which record considerable (>25‰) variability in lake water d18O values during interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS 11) and glacial MIS 12. There is a strong correspondence between the d18O values of diatoms throughout the VC-3 core and mean annual temperatures recorded by MBT/CBT indices in the core. Average d18O values of diatom silica for MIS 11 and MIS 12 are 26.5‰ (± 5.3; n=62) and 18.5‰ (± 6.3; n= 27), respectively. At the MIS 12 termination at ~430 kya, there is abrupt (<2 ka) increase in the d18O values of the diatom silica from ~11 to ~34 ‰. Throughout the core the d18O values of the diatom silica are strongly correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT) reconstructed from MBT/CBT indices in the VC-3 core on orbital (precessional) and millennial time scales. Rapid changes in the d18O values during both MIS 11 and the millennial scale variations in MIS 12 termination indicate the extreme hydroclimatological sensitivity of this region, and present a strong argument linking long term aridity in the southwestern United States to decreases in summer precipitation. |

Rams' Rodger Saffold back on field
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Rodger Saffold had very limited duty in practice Wednesday, three days after being carted off the field with a significant neck injury that landed him in a Detroit hospital.
That was enough for worried teammates.
"It's great to see him out there," quarterback Sam Bradford said. "It's extremely scary anytime you see someone get put on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance. You never know with a head or a neck injury how serious it could be."
NFC West Blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
Saffold appeared to have trouble moving his head while meeting with media after practice. He said his mobility has improved and the pain has subsided.
Saffold didn't know when he'd be able to play again.
"I'm getting movement back more and more every day, and pain is getting less every day," Saffold said. "I've really been putting a lot of work into using all of my off time to get ready."
The Rams finished Sunday's opener without two starters on the offensive line. Center Scott Wells is on injured reserve until Week 9 with a broken foot, plus rookie guard Rokevious Watkins did not practice with an ankle injury.
Guard Quinn Ojinnaka, released Sept. 2, was re-signed and could start this week against Washington. Robert Turner started at left guard ahead of Watkins in the opener and likely will move to center.
"We're just fortunate that he was still out there," Fisher said of Ojinnaka. "He comes back, he understands the system, and we can plug him right in."
Saffold spent the night in Detroit with his family after being discharged from the hospital on Sunday, several hours after the Rams' 27-23 loss. He was injured on the play when the Rams took the lead on a touchdown pass from Bradford to Brandon Gibson, getting knocked off balance on a block and hitting his head awkwardly on an opposing player's hip.
"Just trying to finish a play," Saffold said. "A defensive lineman was kind of falling backward and I kind of collided with him, and pushed my head back a little too far."

If the Bikini Fits ...

Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Arts & Culture, Theater
The Bikinis summer show at the Long Wharf is a good-natured nostalgia trip to the beach and beyond.
As scantily filled out as the beachwear that inspires its title, The Bikinis is a specific type of modern touring musical, a type that has frequently vacationed (that is, toured) in Connecticut in the summertime. Like Menopause: The Musical and Girls Night: The Musical before it, The Bikinis takes old pop songs and uses them to illustrate tales of female bonding, empowerment and nostalgia. The genre—not so much "jukebox musical" as "jukebox support group"—is so tightly refined that some songs are shared by more than one of these shows. The disco classics "I Will Survive" and "It's Raining Men," for instance, are found in both Girls Night: The Musical and The Bikinis.
Where The Bikinis is bold is in how it tells a chronological story spanning several decades. We are witnessing the reunion of a girl group called The Bikinis, which began as a group of high school friends during the peak of the '60s girl group boom ("The Shoop Shoop Song," "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," "Be My Baby" and "Chapel of Love" are all referenced) and are now doing a special show in order to save the New Jersey shoreline trailer park where they grew up. Turns out that not all the women agree that the park should be saved. That's the mild conflict that fuels the negligible plot. What really holds the show together is the set list. It follows a Baby Boomer coming-of-age theme rather than any specific genre, starting cute with novelty tunes such as "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" and moving up through the more suggestive "Under the Boardwalk" and "Where the Boys Are" to a second act filled with psychedelia ("Incense and Peppermints") and protest songs ("Simple Song of Freedom").
This production has an uncommonly accomplished cast whose members may be familiar to longtime New Haven theatergoers. Valerie Fagan (who plays the endearing everywoman Annie) was Aldonza to Robert Goulet's Don Quixote in a national tour of Man of La Mancha that played the Shubert back in the late '90s. Lori Hammel (Annie's petulant little sister Jodi) has been through Connecticut in tours of Mamma Mia (a show she's also done on Broadway) and Forbidden Broadway, and has sung in concert with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. Regina Levert (Barbara, the sole African-American in the show, gaining her some choice solos during the '70s and '80s segments) was in the national tour of Fame the Musical at the Oakdale in 1999 and appears on that show's original cast recording. Karyn Quackenbush (the pixie-ish Karla), like Hammel, was in the long-running Off Broadway production of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change (a show that originated at the Long Wharf) and has many other New York credits.
Hammel, Levert and Quackenbush all appeared in the original production of The Bikinis when the show premiered at Goodspeed Musicals' Norma Terris Theater in Chester last year. Having been done so recently and freshly and nearby, the production is slicker and more tightly staged than, say, the Smoky Joe's Café which the Long Wharf booked as a summer diversion last year. The show's co-author Ray Roderick—a frequent director at Goodspeed, where he brought new life and creativity to My One and Only and 42nd Street—directed and choreographed this Bikinis tour. While the set is sparse and the modest four-person cast makes big dance numbers impossible, the company is given plenty to do. For instance, they're barely ever in bikinis, opting instead for a variety of costumes, masquerading as everyone from Frankie Avalon (for a long teen-beach-movie parody, replete with fake boobs for the Annette proxy) to Elvis Presley to a short-tempered mafia boss so The Bikinis can flesh out a success story that takes the endearing Annie, Barbara, Jodi and Karla from trailer park to local radio fame to lots of life changes and back to the trailer park.
The music is the real star of The Bikinis. The show tears through over 30 pop hits, plus a handful of clever style-parody originals by Ray Roderick and co-author James Hindman. For fans of the original material, how these songs are arranged and performed may be more compelling than anything in the script. The four-piece band consists of two keyboardists, a guitarist/bassist and a drummer. The keyboards handle all the melodies and riffs, so some musical touchstones (the bassline in "These Boots Are Made for Walking," surf guitar solos) are lost in the mix. Song selection-wise, it's middle-of-the-road, upper-middle-class stuff: '50s radio hits but no rockabilly, keyboard psychedelia but no garage rock, R&B and folk but no blues, disco but no punk.
There's little room for such fringe activities in any case, and a wealth of sun-and-fun material to plumb. The Bikinis, and other examples of this hardy subgenre, have this down to a science. There are familiar refrains, occasional bursts of audience participation which enliven the bare-bones staging but aren't allowed to overwhelm it, a nonstop cascade of cheesy jokes about getting old (and watching your husband get older), a cast and plot which invites average-folks-getting-by empathy, and a warm happy, everybody-get-together ending.
A thin garment to support a night's entertainment, but somehow it all fits. The Bikinis may not show a lot of hipness, but its heart is in the right place.
The Bikinis is at the Long Wharf Theatre mainstage, 222 Sargent Dr., through July 27.

My doctor recommended these to me, giving me a sample, and sending me on my way. I have since purchased them, and have been quite happy with their effectiveness. They are long-lasting.Relief is felt immediately.It should be noted that when the drops are first placed in the eye, some blurriness may occur. This is due to the contents of the drops, which include glycerine, an oily whetting solution often used in soap and cosmetics. The blurriness clears up very quickly, though, and is no real cause for concern.
This product is very effective and gentle. I have chronic dry eyes & have used more expensive brands. However, I have been very pleased with the Advanced brand and intend to continue using it.
Everything went perfectly.

text: 3 Different...but still good!Posted: 09/06/2009Contrary to the rather harsh one star review below, this is actually quite an accomplished effort from Graham Coxon. While I agree that track Caspian Sea is a little ambitious, the album still offers enough for Graham Coxon fans.If you are expecting more songs in the same vein as those on Love Travels at Illegal Speeds and Happiness in Magazines, you'll be disappointed as Coxon goes in a different direction on this album.He focuses on using finger plucking melodies as the main base of most of the songs here, and is as far away from tunes such as Freakin' Out and Standing On My Own Again as possible. To be able to pick up such a skill as complex as finger plucking (not something that is evident in his earlier works, or that of Blurs) and make it work is a credit to his talent.What it does confirm to the listener is that Coxon is a master of the guitar, and one of the finest of his generation. A solid effort.

Warband is extending its supported platforms!
Currently, this should just be seen as a beta test as there are known (and probably unknown) bugs to be resolved but those of you with OSX or Linux machines can play the game right now on Steam.
To try out the beta on your Linux or Mac computer with Steam just complete the following steps:
Hopefully you all enjoy the game on its new platforms and let us know if you encounter any bugs! Though it should be functioning pretty well already and is certainly playable.
Note: Napoleonic Wars is not yet supported but will be in the near future.

An Amazing MOD idea i just thought of (hopefully someone that knws how to mod can make it) is a dominions mod. the turn based game dominions for mount and blade!! just an idea
I wonder, has anyone made a complete open world mod for this game? I know the game is already open world with the world map but I'm talking about a mod where everything (cities, villages, etc) is part of one big map that you can only explore on foot/horse.
Knowing the M&B engine, that game would break.
Try persistent World mod, I think its what you are looking for
That would be awesome, but i think it would take FOREVER getting around :b
I've tried the free trial of this game in steam, i can say its a pretty good game, all these fightings,the tournaments,and other stuff! was so much fun!
You mean to tell me you have never played it before then? :OOO Someone get this man the full game.
If you buy this game you will not regret that choice one bit. It's one of the most fantastic open world games there is for me and i enjoy playing.
You should purchase it. You won't regret it. Defo one of the best sandbox games on PC and the mods just extend its life.
Nice to see so many fans of the game supporting it. Looks like I'll have to give it a shot.
Highest Rated (56 agree) 10/10
One of the best games I ever played :D

Recently arrived as a very kind gift from two former fellows:
This blog entry came up in my Google Alert a few days ago - its main focus is actually a cathedral in Saigon, but it incidentally mentions a fascinating little episode in Jefferson's life of which I was heretofore unaware.
A free, one-day conference consisting of panel discussions between former American Ambassadors which will focus on several specific cases with a view to developing a global focus on American policy and effective diplomatic responses. Held at Montalto, home of the Robert H. Smith Center. Sponsored by the American Academy of Diplomacy and Monticello's Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies.

It's an operating room of the future available to doctors now. This week, Rochester General Health System introduced a new surgical suite that integrates many state-of-the-art applications.
Hospital officials say the operating room incorporates a combination of equipment, technology, patient information and new processes that creates a safe and efficient surgical environment.
"With the range of new technologies coming into medicine, we're dedicated to applying each element within an appropriate niche," said Director of Robotic Surgery Dr. John Valvo. "That allows us to provide an environment for our patients which is safer, smarter and more secure."
The new operating room features hands-free motion sensing applications, high-definition visual equipment and other enhancements.
The upgrades were made possible in part by a $1-million grant.
