How, Not, To Work Your Political Views Into A Conversation
Posted by Larry Bergan in Authoritarianism, Bullying, cruelty, Party Politics, People Are Nuts on March 23, 2015
When I was starting out in Junior High School in 1965, they were building a new one to accommodate our large student population in that area. They had already picked a name for the new school, but a fellow student, who was a big history buff decided he wanted the school to be named after a personal hero of his. He began his quest to have the school named after Winston Churchill. I can't remember all of the details or how difficult, or long the procedure took, but I'll be damned if the school isn't named Churchill Junior High today.
You may have already heard about the teacher in New Hampshire who recently decide to teach his fourth grade students how a bill is adopted, so he had them decide on a bill and they took it to the legislature. The attempt to get the red-tailed hawk named as the official state raptor turned into a learning experience for sure, but definitley not one you would have imagined.
After one legislator mocked the bill, saying they'd probably next be naming an official state hotdog, Republican Representative Warren Groen really took the wind out of the sails of these kids by saying:
"The hawk grasps its prey "with its talons and then uses its razor-sharp beak to rip its victims to shreds, to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood.''
I guess this idiot thought these students were being taught to be a bunch of stinking liberals by their stinking liberal teacher. Just let the adults come up with the bills, huh?
The Democratic governor is going to visit the school and try to get the students not to give up trying to be involved in their communities. My sense is that after making the national news, they are going to be even more involved. That's how these sorts of inane blunders usually work out, but you'll never convince some ideologues.
Christmas Eve Document Dump Reveals US Spy Agencies Broke The Law And Violated Privacy
Posted by Richard Warnick in Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, National Politics, NSA Surveillance, Transparency on December 27, 2014
So far, nothing about this on cable TV news. Not even from MSNBC. Via Think Progress:
Around 1:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the National Security Agency released hundreds of pages of heavily-redacted reports detailing numerous instances over the past decade in which agents intentionally or unintentionally violated the law and improperly collected private data. The revelations, triggered by a Freedom of Information Act request from the American Civil Liberties Union, still fail to disclose how many violations occurred and how many were unlawful.
…Jesselyn Radack with the Government Accountability Project, who has been working on Edward Snowden's legal team, emphasized that these revelations would never have been possible without her fugitive client. "The ACLU only knew what to ask for because of the Snowden leaks," she said. "There's been semantics games with the NSA not using regular definitions for words like 'collection' and 'analysis,' which makes it very difficult to find the documents we're looking for. Now, at least we have a road map and we know names of specific programs to ask about."
Radack also told ThinkProgress that she suspects the release of the documents intentionally came at a time few would be paying attention. "It was an extremely conspicuous and shameless move to release this on Christmas Eve, but it's entirely in keeping with the fact that the Director of National Intelligence has done similar kinds of document dumps on Friday afternoons in order to avoid the media cycle," she said.
Of course, ALL the programs of widespread warrantless surveillance of Americans in their entirety violate the law because they are prohibited by the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment.
Police Shot Darrien Hunt 6 Times In The Back
Posted by Richard Warnick in Authoritarianism, cruelty, Police Brutality, Racism on October 29, 2014
Last month, 22-year-old Darrien Hunt was shot and killed by police in Saratoga Springs, Utah, while carrying a toy sword. The Utah State Medical Examiner's Office autopsy confirms that six bullets hit Hunt in the back. Contrary to what was implied in the original police report, a toxicology analysis concluded that Hunt had no drugs in his body.
Susan Hunt told the Deseret News: "They killed my son because he's black. No white boy with a little sword would they shoot while he's running away.
"Those stupid cops thought they had to murder over a toy. This is my baby. This is my family. And they ruined my family."
Again, we have to wonder what they were thinking. Why shoot an unarmed citizen who is running away? Assuming the police believed they had no choice but to use deadly force, why not shoot ONE TIME?
Finally, somebody needs to educate the police about cosplay.
At the time of his death, Hunt was wearing an outfit that bore a striking resemblance the Japanese anime character Mugen, from the series Samurai Champloo. The weekend prior to his death, Salt Lake City hosted the annual Comic Con event at which attendees dress up as comic book characters in a practice known as "cosplaying."
Prosecutors won't file criminal charges in this case. Darrien Hunt's family plans a civil suit against the police.
Mythical Religious Persecution Narrative and a New Jim Crow
Posted by Glenden Brown in Activist groups, American History, American People, Authoritarianism, Bigotry, Conservative, Homophobia, Religious Fundamentalism, This Blog on October 24, 2014
Earlier this week, a story spread like wildfire about two pastors threatened with jail time and massive fines for not performing gay weddings. Attorneys from the right wing ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) filed a lawsuit on behalf of the pastors. The story was breathless, controversial and inaccurate.
The pastors in question run a for profit business that as recently as two weeks ago was very clear that they offered both religious and civil ceremonies. They run a marriage mill, performing something like 1400 weddings per year. Oh, and the big error? The city of Coeur d'Alene had not threatened them with fines or jail time, there have been no complaints filed against them. The couple in question asked the city attorney what would happen if they failed to comply with the city's nondiscrimination ordinance and refused to marry a same-sex couple; the city attorney spelled out the possible legal consequences. End of story. Not really. I'll let Jeremy Hooper explain:
When I first learned about the story of Idaho's Hitching Post, which was suddenly the far-right's latest marriage "victim" for supposedly being threatened by the city of Coeur d'Alene for not marrying a same-sex couple, I thought the whole thing was too coincidental to be true. I didn't focus on it in my last post on the subject since I had the much more newsworthy discovery that the business had changed its website so that they could seem much more faith-driven than they had been operating in the past. But a part of me was wondering how the same business that went to the press back in May with its preemptive marriage fears, well before Idaho had marriage equality, could now be in the spotlight in such a major way. it just seemed too perfectly orchestrated.
To wit (Gridley is the city attorney):
"Their lawsuit was something of a surprise because we have had cordial conversations with them in the past and they have never disclosed that they have recently become a religious corporation," Gridley wrote.
Gridley wrote that the city will not prosecute legitimate nonprofit religious corporations, associations, educational institutions, or societies or other exempt organizations or anyone else as a result of their lawful exercise of their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and religion.
In addition to exempting those groups, Gridley wrote that the anti-discrimination ordinance states that it "shall be construed and applied in a manner consistent with First Amendment jurisprudence regarding the freedom of speech and exercise of religion."
When contacted by The Press for comment, Don Knapp said the Hitching Post is not operating as a not-for-profit religious corporation. He also said he does not know ADF Attorney David Cortman.
Let's be clear – almost everything you've heard about the case is wrong. No complaint has been filed against The Hitching Post. If they are a legitimate religious organization, they are exempt from the city's ordinance. (It's worth noting that they have been an ordinary, for profit business up to this point and have a history of performing both religious and civil ceremonies; they have not been, up to this point, a church or religious organization.)
The facts haven't stopped hosts of religious people sanctimoniously declaring that "no one should be forced to do something that violates their conscience" and "no one should be forced to participate in a same sex wedding." Utah legislators have obviously seen the story and are alreayd discussing a bill that would allow people to declare they have a religious objection and exempt themselves from participating in same-sex weddings (if history is any guide, the bill will pass, but will be so overly broad it will fail constitutional muster and be struck down, leading to all sorts of public hysterics over activists judges and repeated sharing of bathetic overhyped tales of bakers and florists and photographers and poor picked on pastors). It's clear that a great many religious persons oppose same-sex marriage, and believe their opposition is entirely based on theological reasons and fear that at some point, some legal change will force them to "accept" same-sex marriage.
I don't want to minimize the difficulty marriage equality presents for many religious persons. People do not lightly give up tradition or traditional teachings about sexuality and relationships.
Until very recently, most people casually accepted the idea that something was "wrong" with gay and lesbian persons. The idea that sexual minority persons are not inherently sick, immoral or incapable of forming long-lasting, stable relationships is relatively new in our society. The idea of same-sex marriage is also relatively new (although the Boston Marriage is a fascinating bit of history). Many socially and religiously conservative persons continue to embrace the belief that gay persons can become straight through therapy and prayer, that being gay is a choice and a bad one.
For some persons, the idea of a same sex couple marrying seems absurd at best. These individuals define marriage as a man and a woman and exclude anything else (one suspects Utah State Rep. Kraig Powell is such a person). It's not uncommon in discussions to hear someone declare that marriage is between a man and a woman and anything is fake and the law can't make "real" what isn't real. The "love the sinner hate the sin" motto employed by religious persons reveals more than most people think – for many religious persons, gay people are less than straight people and same-sex couples are less than heterosexual couples.
With the Supreme Court's decision to not hear the various cases coming to them, the number of states in which same sex marriage is legal increased dramatically in one week (at JoeMyGod, Joe observed that there had been 9 separate marriage equality maps in the week of October 6).
Religious conservatives have very visibly and vocally expressed their dismay. We've heard all the usual buzzwords about out of control judges, judicial activism, and the usual predictions of coming tyranny. Religious conservatives are asking "What next?" with a combination of weariness and trepidation.
There is a challenge for religious conservatives. They're being asked to acknowledge and live with the reality that same sex marriage is legal and to recognize that means some changes on how they conduct their business. I am certain there will be some lawsuits when religious business owners try to refuse family insurance coverage to same-sex spouses. We will, no doubt, hear paeans to the free market and dreamy invocations that gays can just go elsewhere for jobs and services. Thus far, the courts have not be amenable to such arguments. From a legal standpoint, a marriage is a marriage. Treating married couples differently will not be acceptable.
Religious conservatives are also going to have to face activism within their churches. Although legally there's no reason to fear that churches will be forced to recognize same-sex marriage, gay persons can be incredibly effective activists. Churches will feel pressure to perform marriages for same-sex couples.
The Hobby Lobby case was probably the most high profile but it is one of many in which the religious right is trying to carve out a separate public and legal sphere for itself in which the devout serve solely the devout and can refuse to serve the sinful masses – a modern Jim Crow – using religious freedom as the rationale. I get this – I've read Martha Nussbaum's Hiding from Humanity: Disgust Shame and the Law – it's about fear of moral contagion. Although it's emotional appeal is undeniable, I think it will ultimately fail of its own weight.
This afternoon, I read that The Hitching Post has re-incorporated itself as a religious corporation. The ACLU and the city of Coeur d'Alene agree that in keeping with their newly filed corporate status, The Hitching Post is a "religious corporation" and exempt from the city's nondiscrimination ordinance. IOW, the whole brouhaha has basically evaporated.
The public spaces from which religious conservatives can exclude gay people are going to become increasingly constrained. The option of declaring one's self a religious corporation isn't going to be available to a great many religious conservatives. If, however, claims of religious freedom and religious conscience become publicly linked with discrimination – against women, gays and lesbians, "immoral people" – then very quickly the mythical "war on Christianity" will become a very real public disgust for anyone claiming to be Christian and for Christianity itself.
Colorado students learned their civil disobedience lessons…
Posted by Shane Smith in American History, American People, Authoritarianism, censorship, Conservatives, Education on September 24, 2014
Colorado students and teachers alike have been staging walkouts over the new conservative version of history that is being forced on schools by the rightwing school board. And this story is just full of irony. For one thing, among the subjects being removed is all mention of civil disobedience. Thus the students are teaching the topic to the school board. At least a thousand students walked out of class Tuesday, at three separate schools. More followed Wednesday and still more were planned for today.

"Justified True Belief"
Posted by Shane Smith in Authoritarianism, Conservatives, Philosophy, Science, This Blog on June 29, 2014
Knowledge is sometimes defined in philosophy circles as "justified true belief." Sometimes philosophers can drain the passion out of any phrase.
Still, the idea counts for something. Can you really say you "know" something if you are wrong? Being raised Mormon I was always bothered when people gave their testimony with the phrase "I know this is true" because it was clear to me that they did not "know" anything of the sort. They believed. They may even be right. But unless it was proven true, they couldn't actually know. They simply had faith that they mistakenly called knowledge…..
Over at MotherJones.com, Chris Mooney has an interesting article about some of the research on how political ideology and views can affect our reasoning ability. There has been a fair amount of research in the area of late, and I find an awful lot of it fascinating, I also find a lot of what is written about it to be misled for what seems like some pretty basic reasons.
Veterans Hospitals..the Truth
Posted by Firmage Ed in 4th Estate (Media), 9/11, Activist groups, Afghanistan, American History, American People, assault weapons, Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, Bigotry, Bush Administration, Conservative, Drone Strikes, Liberal, Libya, NSA Surveillance, Obamacare, Syria, This Blog on May 28, 2014
The yammerings of the Republicans, and even some Democrats, about VA hospitals, show no trace, not even a trickle of a trace, of institutional and personal memory, let alone history. This is always true, for most people and all institutions. None have historical perspective beyond that of a Snail Darter. Remember, dear friends, that George Bush the Less, and Dick Cheney, the Dark Lord; and Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, started two wars of choice that will fill up to overflowing for at least fifty and likely a hundred years, all our hospitals. The impact of wars, so easy for stupid, venal, misinformed people to start and , in a sense, impossible, ever, to stop , is obvious. World War One is still very much alive, after destroying the twentieth Century, the Century of Total War. And the Bush administration severely cut the funding for our VA hospitals. All hospitals are effected by this avoidable tragedy, the greatest of our time. Our jails, our mental homes, our suicide prevention systems; our broken families and children without mothers and fathers, shooting crime statistics up into the stratosphere, ripple on forever.
The entire world, out into and through the cosmos, suffer from this violation of all that is decent and good, not to mention the laws of war. If the Nuremberg principle were applied to us and not just Nazi Germany, this dark band of brothers would all be in jail, or executed for the hundreds of thousands of murders that they accomplished. George W. Bush placed us squack in the middle of a civil war in Islam, which has been going on time out of mind.(we had our civil wars of religion that followed 400 years of Crusades from the 10th to the 14th centuries, the Renaissance and Reformation and the Enlightenment which gave us a rule of law community not shared by any state in the Middle East, except Israel; and no secular state in the Middle East except Turkey, thanks to Ataturk. The Treaties of Westphalia and Utrecht ended religious-based states in Europe and North America, and in their place we have had, with never a backward step, secular states, thank God (and I'm not being ironic), territorial nation states without any church in charge. (Utah is another matter.) Islamic civil war is not our business. It took us many centuries to build these rule of law communities throughout Europe and North America. Do you really think that Afghanistan will somehow, willy nilly, become democratic? Really? or Iraq?
Now, a huge portion of the Middle East, very understandably, see us as their premiere enemy. And much of Africa. And most other Islamic nations. Add to that what the Dulles brothers did in Iran, in deposing an popularly appointed tradition, conservative ruler, Mohammed Mossadeq, to put the Shah back on his throne and his bloodthirsty killers over the military and the police (the CIA's war; just like Laos; just as we now do in Pakistan, way way before the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Pakistan is the most dangerous nation in the world, because it is the Islamic nuclear missile state and George Bush's wars threaten always to bring any reasonable government down. I'll bet World War Three starts there); and what we did in murdering an African head of state (both CIA assassins); and one Latin American democratically elected president assassinated under Nixon's orders,why not see America as the Great Satan? There is blood on the hands of this dark band of brothers, and Karma, dark amoral Karma, that has nothing to do with God.
Of course we should do more for our veterans. But these tragic events play out, literally, forever. Remember: the Great Depression of our time began under Bush the Less. It had been building ever since Ronald Reagan created street people by refusing to fund mental homes and hospitals and put these people in jails and on the streets, so he could raise the military budget three and a half times over. He ran deficits like no Democrats before him. Then came the crash that remains very much with us still. So many millions of unemployed we don't even count, because they've given up, and have taken themselves out of the workforce. How can the Republicans do this with a straight face? Well, they now are consummate liars, after decades of practice. Some in the Democratic Party do this too. Neither party has a monopoly on lying. BUT this is not to say there is equivalence. With the Tea Party, now absorbed within the Republican Party, truly inexperienced and terribly undereducated people rule the day. I believe the Republicans will gain seats in the House and narrowly take the Senate. All because most people and all institutions lack any trace of historical memory. ed firmage xoxo

I don't watch them, but from the little I've been forced to see while at the grocery store, I'd say this includes the fake reality referred to as "The Duck Dynasty". I don't care if you got your creds from the Jerry Springer show or get a million, making your own country look foolish; white trash will always be what it is, and nobody will ever stop assholes from having opinions.
I hate having to write that last paragraph, because – well – I'm an old white man and I feel I'm getting blamed for turning this country into a worldwide farce, when I've done a lot to try and stop it.

I Don't Trust Obamacare or the TPP
Posted by Larry Bergan in 4th Estate (Media), Authoritarianism, Capitalism, Corruption, Disaster, Healthcare, Obamacare, ObamaCare ACA on November 18, 2013
Even if I come out ahead at 61 – and doubt I'm going to -, I don't like it, because it has come out that young people will be expected to pay for something they can NEVER afford – Hell; how are they going to feed their own children when our political system cuts their children's food security a little-bit-at-a-time! A "health" system which is built on profit can never succeed because there's too damn much money in it!
The same logic goes for war profiteering.
I think Tom Tomorrow goes a bit more lightly on Obamacare in his latest column, but I think it's a masterpiece.
You may need to left-click on the cartoon to read it.
But also, note that Obama is working to keep secret a meeting at The Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City tomorrow, (Tuesday November 19th, 2013), and all next week. It may weaken China, but I think we have the right to know what is going on, because it has the potential to greatly weaken America too. This treaty, called the "Trans Pacific Partnership" – TPP -, seems highly dangerous to everybody except huge corporations.
Let's get down to the Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City this week and try to find out what's going on!

Jason Chaffetz Presides On Viral C-Span Video
Posted by Larry Bergan in 4th Estate (Media), Authoritarianism, censorship, Conservatives, Corruption, Disaster, Federal Budget, Jason Chaffetz, Mental Illness, Obamacare, Tea Party, The Koch Brothers, This Blog on October 15, 2013
I had to put this video up on OneUtah, because it's all over the internet, might have set a record for a C-Span broadcast going viral and features one of our own. I respect the fact that representative Chaffetz didn't try to lie, gavel or shout down Chris Van Hollen, even though he was forced to verify, multiple times, that the congressional body he was elected to, did something surreal.
Some must have seen this on C-Span and aren't being tabulated on the YouTube site, however, the exchange between the representatives has only been posted for three days on YouTube and has already picked up over 2,500,000 viewings. Probably more then any cat video to date, but I'm not sure.
If this exchange is being played by any American television news organization, I would be stunned.
Glenden just put up a post which links to an article by Eric Idle, where he says:
If one party can shut down the government, then the social compact to rule is broken.
Actually Eric, it's just one man. My apologizes to our long time friend, England.
The US Needs to Start Unraveling the Homeland Security Mess
Posted by Glenden Brown in Authoritarianism, Barack Obama, Civil liberties Infringement, Human Rights, Republicans, Society, Terrorism, The Constitution, Tribalism & Blind Obedience to Authority on July 24, 2013
A good place to start is repealing the disaster that is the Patriot Act.
However, a proposal before Congress right now would limit the scope of the NSA's information gathering.
The amendment [pdf] basically defunds the NSA's dragnet collection of every bit of metadata on all phone records as well as other bulk records that have not yet been revealed. The amendment still would allow the NSA to collect information under the original intent—and understanding—of the law, that is information actually related to actual investigations.
Of course NSA supporters are pushing back, including, unfortunately, the Obama administration. Like too many people in positions of power, the administration and the President seem to in the grip of fear about terrorism and have convinced themselves that any means necessary to keep us "safe" (what that means) are acceptable. They are mistaken. Such an attitude only feeds a creeping tendency toward authoritarianism in our culture, one which seems to be growing stronger because too few people in elected office see it as a threat. We see it in the militarization of police forces, in spying on Americans, in the absurd theatre that is the TSA striptease in airports. It is fueled by fear and it fuels fear. I believe it is dangerous.

Shinko Asian pear observations and questions
In the spring of 2006, I planted a Shinko Asina pear and a Seckel European pear.
Both of these are sometimes described as self fertile. My hope was that between the possibilities of them 1)being self fertile 2) pollenizing each other, and 3) being pollenized by the numerous ornamental pears in the neighborhood, I would get pears.
The Shinko flowered this spring, the Seckel did not (no surprise there)
As an imperfect experiment, I hand pollenated two of the flower clusters with flowers from ornamental pears.
All clusters set several pears, I saw no difference in the two clusters that were hand pollinated.
This leaves two possibilities:
1) Shinko really is self fertile
2) Shinko can be pollenized by ornamental pears, and there was so much ornamental pear pollen in the air that my hand pollinating made no difference. There are two within 200 feet of my yard, and dozens within several blocks.
I suspect Shinko really is self fertile but all I can really conclude is that if you plant Shinko, and there are ornamental pears around, you will get fruit!
Maybe next spring I will bag a couple clusters to keep out any other pollen.
Now my question. Tonight I went to check the ripeness of the pears by the flashlight method described in another thread, and they came off in my hand! So I picked them all (all 6 :) ) I ate one, it was fantastic! I weighed the other 5, and together they weigh 32 ounces, for an average of 6.4 ounces. Does that sound right? They look small to me, but I'm biased by the big ones that show up in the store a couple times a year, and cost $2 each.
I thinned them to 1 per cluster when they were between grape and walnut size. Should I thin earlier? The tree is in sun from mid day to early evening, about 6 hours. It's in shade in the morning, so it's not exactly full sun. Any others here have experience with Shinko?
Shinko is a winner in my orchard, as is Chojuro. Niitaka and Korean Giant don't make the cut. Have sevral others that will hopefully fruit next year
If ornamental pears and Asians are in bloom at the same time,and you've got sufficient pollenators(bees) present, I have no doubt that they'll cross-pollenize one another. Bloom times of the callery pears and most of my edibles - Asian & European - don't usually overlap here; I don't have any callery types planted, but there are a few in the neighborhood.
The smaller the fruits are when you thin, the better - within reason. When I get around to it, I try to thin when they're no larger than dime-size.
I had three asian pear trees (Hosui, 20th century and Shinko) planted 6 yrs ago at my backyard, and they are all produce lots of fruits every year. As for taste comparison, I would vote for Hosui and followed by 20th century. I found that my shinko was not juicy enough compared to Hosui and 20th century -- may be it was just my climate ??
Due to space limitation on the backyard, I have decided to replace
the Shinko with Korean Giant about 2 yrs ago, and it starts to produce few fruits this year. Can't wait to try out ....
There were talks about A. pears esp. Shinko in a few threads in the past.
It seems some of us who live in the east coast do not care for Shinko for its taste. To me, it's so bland and is smallish (20th century is small, too, but does not taste that bland).
I gave Shinko a chance for 3-4 years. The taste and the size did not improve (I thinned aggressively) so I kissed it good bye last year.
I don't have enough space to hang on to a tree that performs poorly. I have Hosui, 20th Century and Korean Giant. KG consistently a winner every year.
There are a number of people who are very happy with Shinko. I've noticed that they live further away from the east coast.

A mobile marketing mantra-turned-industry-joke ("Someday you'll walk by a Starbucks and automatically receive a coffee coupon,") may be becoming true in the United Kingdom. That is, unless sidewalk shoppers get a shampoo offer first.
Starbucks and L'Oreal will be testing geo-fencing in the U.K. for the next six months, the two brands announced this evening with Placecast and mobile telecommunications company O2; Placecast provides a technology called "Shop Alerts." Geo-fencing allows stores and brands to offer an opt-in "auto check-in" service to their patrons, no matter if they use a smart phone or regular cellular device. Such users opt in for what amounts to automatic geo-social check-ins and check-outs when they arrive or leave a location measuring 1.5 miles in radius.
For Starbucks, they will receive an SMS discount for the coffee retailer's "VIA Ready Brew" product line. L'Oreal's opt-ins will get a buy-one-get-one-free SMS coupon for hair care products at a nearby location of the retail chain Superdrug. The number of physical stores participating in the campaigns was not mentioned in the companies' prepared release.
O2 brings a scale of 22 million wireless subscribers to the effort. The London-based telecommunications firm's customers who are 16 and older can register online for the mobile couponing service by submitting their age, gender, and interests such as sports, travel, and movies.
The development comes on the heels of The North Face testing geo-fencing in each of its 31 locations. While quick-serve brand Sonic and retailers American Eagle and REI have trialed the concept in single markets, The North Face is one of the first U.S. brands to take the idea to national scale.
Part of the reason that the geo-fencing concept has become a bit of a punchline to industry watchers is that - before very recently - brands have been slow to jump on board. But Alistair Goodman, CEO of the San Francisco-based Placecast, sounded optimistic about that mobile marketing niche in a recent interview with ClickZ.
"Geo-fencing locations offer brand marketers the opportunity to reach consumers when they're in the right mindset for making a purchase or interacting with the brand," Goodman said. "In other words, the days, hours, and times in which consumers are in a mindset to interact or shop."

Abealzu-Filigosa culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abealzu-Filigosa culture was a Copper Age culture of Sardinia (2700-2400 BC). It takes its name from the locality of Abealzu, near Osilo, and Filigosa, near Macomer.
The populations of this culture lived mainly in the Sassarese area and other parts of central-southern Sardinia. They still used obsidian to produce tools and weapons but copper objects, such as the daggers depicted in the Statue menhir, were becoming common. Lead and silver were also smelted. Their economy was focused on pastoralism and agriculture.
The pottery of Abealzu show some similarities with those of the Rinaldone and Gaudo culture of peninsular Italy [1]
To this period date the second phase of construction of the massive megalithic temple of Monte d'Accoddi.

2010 Porsche Cayenne GTS Review
Looks are awesome specially on the GTS red color, handles great but very stiff suspension even when adjusted to the softest. Very nice interiors, alcantara seats are very comfortable. Overall the car has developed a ton of rattling and annoying noises.
Fantastic handling, sounds beautifully, powerful but not as fast as the turbo model, but handles much better. Brakes are awesome.
Fast But Expensive Suv — The car looked fantastic, handled great, a lot of people complimented me at gas stations, stop lights, parking lots, etc. Actually draw much more attention than I wanted to attract. What was pretty dissapointing was the fact that the car became very noisy. I am sure that a big part was because of the big low profile tires, and the very stiff suspension, but all the noises that came from the car when driving over bumpy roads, made you feel that you were driving a 15 year old mediocre car, and not a Porsche that had a price tag of close to $100K. Also every time that the car had to be serviced, the cost was quite high.

2010 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Review
Best of both worlds. On & off road ability.
Boot space is limited.
Awesome — A really awesome vehicle. Very responsive and feels like a sports car. Interior is spacious, dashboard and controls are ergonomic, sound system is crisp, feels like you are in a home theater. Leather and finishings are luxurious. Exhaust tone is deep and exhilarating.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

Sporty good looks.
I hated the automatic tail gate (knocks against garage ceilings)
Porsche's A To B Car — Luxury SUV. Got the V6 this time. Bose, Nav, XM, Traffic, iPod, USB, Aux - and seat memory is very useful. Got WeatherTech linings for the footwells - so easy to keep the car clean. Not a great sprinter, but with the auto gearbox in Sport mode it will keep the revs up.

2010 Porsche Cayenne S Review
Power, handling, consumption
The Best Luxury Suv Ever — Performance: Much better than expected, when both engines are running together, it provides a real good boost. Braking is exceptional and handling exactly what you would expect from a Porsche. No issues so far on build quality. Styiling is great and much more practical interior than the previous model.

Historical Traveler Reviews Semiahmoo Resort Blaine
Exremely disappointing, badly run
We were staying with a large group of people who were attending an event at the local state fairground. The hotel had a special price, and knew in advance how many of us were staying there. They didn't seem to make the link that we would want to leave the hotel in order to make the start time of the event. We got up at 6:30am to get breakfast and waited 15 mins in a line to get seated - there was only one poor lass seating, taking orders, and serving. As there looked like no movement, I went to the front desk to speak to the duty manager, but there was none on site until later. Whilst I was there there were a number of people complaining that their room service hadn't arrived, and the telephone room service had told them there would be nothing available for another hour. Very badly organized, badly staffed. Room was mediocre, looked quite lived in. Room service food the night before was fine in service, but the food was poor.
I asked for the duty manager to call me once they arrived, but not surprisingly I have heard nothing, and there is not link on their website to give feedback. The only reason we stayed there was so that we could have a leisurely breakfast before heading for the conference. In the end, after 30 mins wait we were still not seated so we left. I would NOT go back.
We Had a great time
We have stayed at Semiahmoo twice in the last year...both times we had a terrific time. The rooms are big and nice. We appreciated the free ether net. There were comfy chairs for reading, and nice desk and a great bed.
Althought our room face the arrival area, it was quiet and we could see the bay over the building tops. The service was excellent, from desk clerks to bellman and food servers. This time we ate in Packers several times and were impressed by teh quality of the food. We had great dungeness crab cocktails and the seafood stew was incredible. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. The gym area is really nice and well equipped, so we could work off some of that great food!
Nice resort south of Canadian border
My wife and I with our 5 yr and 8 yr old spent two nights in this resort on the northern border of WA. I was not sure if we could find something interesting to do. But the resort is full of activities even if you want to spend time on the resort itself.
The Spa and gym offer full set of services for massages and aroma therapy to pamper yourself. There are a lot of sports activities ranging from golf, tennis, racqetball, basketball, swimming, table tennis to name a few.
The resort is by a pebble beach and my kids had a nice time looking for crabs and sea shells. In summer you can take boat/ferry rides.
They also have movies in a small theater at the end. Rooms are quite clean with a small balcony.
On the down side, food is quite expensive.
A Truly 4 Star Resort
I stayed at the Semiahmoo Resort because of a business conference. I stayed here for 4 days 3 nights, and the stay was truly wonderful. My room was huge, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn't get a room that faces the ocean, my room faced the parking lot. It was still comfortable. The conference facilities and the catering were wonderful as well. I would definitely come back for vacation if I have time!
Service let's the resort down
We stayed for 2 nts at the resort and were disappointed ( our 3rd stay but probably our last). The pool was too cold for any of us and the hot tub age was 14yrs + . You could also not access the pool from the hotel without going outside ( it was cold & rainy when we stayed so an unpleasant experience).The spa looked nice but I was not impressed by the staff chatting and joking amongst themselves whilst I waited right in front of them to ask about availability. On Saturday morning we came down for breakfast at 10am and were seated at 10.45 - we waited with several other families for 45 mins! When the breakfast arrived it was cold, and very disappointing - the children's pancakes portions were very small and insufficient for a 5 & 6 yr old. THE Restaurant ( Stars) was not full just way understaffed. We had dinner in Stars in the evening and it was very average - not gourmet at all but not over expensive. Kids meals this time were large - their menu was very limited & offered no desserts. We would not eat there again. Had dinner one night at the Blue Heron at their golf club - food there was better - more Bistro like.
Rooms were nice ( we had a waterview). Did not turndown in the evenings and very quickly during the day!One night we ordered a bottle of wine from room service that turned up so long afterwards(45min) we had both forgotten about it! Generally we found the staff and service element could be greatly improved.
Nice location on the beach ( pebbly ) and pretty views across a bay to CAnada.
Don't bring your kids
We spent 2 nights at Semiahmoo in late February and, although the hotel was lovely, we were very disappointed at the hot tub age restriction. One employee said that the age limit was 14 and winked at my 12 year old daughter saying, "You look 14, right?" However the next morning when we were in the hot tub, even though we were the only ones in the pool area, another employee walked by and told her to get out as the age limit was 18. The pool was too cold for usb to take, so the kids felt like they had nothing to do, as pool time tends to be their primary activity when we stay at hotels.
One other minus was the wait time at Packers, one of the restaurants. We were told that, since we had minors, we would have to wait for a table in a certain section of the restaurant. This meant that several parties who came after us were seated before us as they weren't restricted on where they could sit and we had a very long wait.
The hotel may be more kid friendly during a warmer time of year when kids would spend more time on the beach and in the pool and wouldn't miss using the hot tub so much.
Beautiful resort, but watch out for the seafood
Pro: This resort is located in a beautiful, tranquil location and is surrounded by water. The resort is an excellent weekend getaway for couples.
Con: The food served at their Oyster Bar and Grill was terrible. We were told all of the seafood was frozen, nothing was fresh. The food tasted bland and was dried out (freezer burn). However, we traveled a few miles down the road to Birch Bay and received fresh seafood at a local restaurant.
A fun getaway
The staff at the Semi was four star during our July 4th,2004 weekend. The meals, grounds, and interior is a four star as well. The room was very nice with a balcony. I'd rate the room a 3 star. A bit of dirt and cobwebs on the balcony, but the rest of the room was clean and bright. They have rooms without balconies. The decor in these is quite bland, so get a balcony if you can. The pool was very nice, however, there is no one monitoring who goes into the pool area and we met people who brought in their whole families with children and weren't staying at the hotel. They said they do it all the time and asked how we liked the hotel. Wish I had the guts to say I liked everything but them in the pool area with their loud obnoxious kids. Because the pool is not that large, it becomes crowded quickly when outsiders come in. Lots to do at this resort, even a small movie theater. I would stay there again...and get out of the pool by noon. There is even a sailing cruise offered at the sight that is well worth it.
Wow! Great recent improvements!
Reminds me of the Del Coronado. I'm a regular at Semiahmoo and the improvements to the property in the last six months are NIGHT AND DAY!
They have remodeled the entire property and stepped up the guest service. This is by-far the best coastal getaway in Washington. The fine dinning menu could use some jazzing up, though.
Semiahmoo Resort received the AAA Four-Diamond rating and truly is Washington's Premier Seaside Destination.
The negative review is dated October 6, 2003, (over a year ago) before the renovation was completed. We hope that the TripAdvisor User from Seattle, WA, comes back to view all of the improvements.
Please note that the name of the property is "Semiahmoo Resort" not "Resort Semiahmoo."

@Le Rude Frog But I still like my Toyota Camry!
@lloydholiday @SageOwexford No, you are totally wrong. Changing the pieces (players) on the board won't matter too much. You can't get enough "good" players in place fast enough to change much soon enough. And even if you could, they would go bad very quickly.
Disagree? (1) Look at history and (2) watch what happens as things unfold.
BUT, not to leave this on a total downer, there is a way to change the game and focus. See Gun Owners of America (GOA) and their approach which presumes all the failings of people that we see in our "betters."
"NATO is our Frankenstein. And if we don't stop it now, it will end up coming after us."
It already has if you define "us" as the people. However, the "we" is some government or something with enough horsepower to end NATO. And therein lies the rub.
Obama looks snookered to me. I guess we watch as all this plays out.
Enjoyed this article but what if they held an election in a democratic country between the 2 major parties and they had names such as, Party Red and Party Blue. And both sides said what they thought would get them elected because if their side got elected then they could party hearty and get babes and money and wine would flow to THEM while the losing side was shut out of the good times.
Would you expect the winning side to follow through with its promises made to get where they are now? Or would you expect to see about what we are seeing the winning party in Greece do now?
Just askin'....game theory might include the motivation of the players....?
Much of UNC is engaged in rabid leftist political activism and this fraudulent center at UNC, set up as a launching pad for Edwards to run for President, needs to be shut down ASAP. Nichol is an incompetent marxist and no one with any sense listens to him anyway.
@Adam Price So an audit will be fine and all will be well...right?
I have long thought that the entire eurozone fiasco was just another attempt by Germany to take over Europe. They have tried many times militarily and failed. Power is a combination of military and economic power, and both are intertwined. Maybe this is the new way for Germany to try again?
@lloydholiday Good one! :-)
This is no mistake. It is deliberate because some people, those connected by bribing the right people, stand to pocket a ton of money. Simple ROI.

@BrianMcM @JasonEmery @clovisdad As one of those boomers you describe, let me tell you that you have raised a typical strawman/fear-based "point." Social security is a deeply flawed program financially and needs to be wound down as it is unsustainable and unaffordable. It can be humanely ended by a pro-active US government default where priority is given to different demands/creditors just as Peter Schiff and others have advocated.
Read this and then get back to us with an answer to the following question--
Question: should such a system, born of and perpetuated by lies, be continued as is?
The chickens are coming home to roost for Obama's foreign policy.
@clovisdad I agree with just about everything here. But I do not think it has to be many years of austerity, theoretically at least. If they let the markets work and pricing to freely occur and be discovered rationally, I can't see how it takes too much longer than about 2 years and probably much less to fix it all. But they won't do that because whoever does it will be blamed for the "crash" from now until the end of time by the controllers of all stripes who say they know better because, after all, they are the smartest people in the room because they say so.
@medicinewolf In summary, since the latest economic smoke and mirrors didn't work, let's try more smoke...no wait, more mirrors.... What the heck, more of both!
This article is spot on! But can we get a government or a central bank to do nothing? Doubtful...
@Adam Price The primary purpose of any QE is to increase govt spending at the expense of the private sector. Historically, this was done by raising taxes but that won't fly politically so now we use QE. They may dress it up as many other things but this is what happens every single time with QE.
@Adam Price Good. I'll get more then.
@Le Rude Frog @clovisdad Clovisdad nailed it. When the govt can effectively buy whatever it wants at the direct expense of the wealth-producing, private economy you will get an end point that you will not like. If you need a name, try "communism" or "fascism" or some other centrally planned, totalitarian form of society that will defacto suppress individual liberty.
Glad to see that the US policy of deconstructing the mideast is proceeding well.
Given all we have seen since 9/11, can there be any doubt that bipartisan US policy is to completely deconstruct the middle east by violent means?
One might ask: who benefits?
Obama draws another red line. This won't end well.
Is this little dance over sanctions and counter sanctions and counter counter sanctions even real? With the west's projection of vacillation and weakness so obvious and entrenched can we really believe that anything serious in the way of sanctions against any country will happen at all? Is it all a war of words for public consumption? Sure looks like we are watching a Punch and Judy show.
So? Maybe it was a ruse delivered for public consumption, not like that has ever happened in the history of the world, now has it? I repeat, so?
Then why were they dropped? Details and facts please, not an argument why officialdom may have lied to us. Geez...why do you waste your own time with something of so little consequence? Part of a leftist meme on why American should self-hate, are we?
I think Truman was very measured and compassionate. If it had been me, much worse would have happened, hopefully complete obliteration of Japan and all of its culture, to show the entire world what happens when you attack the US. It then would have been written formally and openly into US Policy as the primary mission of the Dept of War (which never would have had it name changed) and perhaps the US Constitution to complete the object lesson.
If you want to end/minimize war, then all war should be perceived as one in which the only outcome is complete obliteration.
@JackMarse Nailed it!
@portola87 There is none, it escapes me as well.
We are so screwed.
Obama's theater in trying to make us all believe he is doing something substantial might actually be the best thing he has ever done, being that it is as close to nothing as possible. No one takes this bozo seriously, I wonder if he even does himself. More will die, nothing Obama do will solve a thing, Obama's approval ratings stay in the mid-40% range. Obama is OK, the ISOJ (Islamic State of Jihad) distraction is diverted for now. Mission accomplished. Back to his real goal of destroying America.
Just think how terrible it would have been if ObamaCare had not been in place. What, why are you snickering? Recall when Q1 GDP was first reported at +0.1% the reason given for the growth was....ObamaCare. Now, with -2.9% think how awful it would have been, maybe even -10%, without ObamaCare. Thank God for ObamaCare, savior of our economy!
I stand with Rand.
Thank you.
Magnificent! Just ran across this article. How did the race weekend go?
Dipsticks. What else should we expect from this crowd?
@MattMolina @FoolKiller Possible but we need some links and data. A simple declaration of a low probability event is not sufficient. (We expect the worst under Obama, so we are watching and listening intently but don't go off half-cocked, when you go off, be loaded for bear.)
@VOTEROMNEY I can tell you how this revelation will be handled by the MSM-- they ignore it and go back to attacking Romney. Business as per usual.
@MattMolina @00Yankee Quantity is no indication of quality.
Obama has failed us so miserably. Nov. 6 cannot get here soon enough. Fire Obama!

apple trees surrounded by poison ivy
miscindy(5 SW MI)September 1, 2013
I have a really great wild apple tree on the edge of my woods, but it is surrounded by poison ivy. Any ideas on how to harvest the apples without getting the rash?
Wear long sleeves and pants and gloves and when you're finished throw them in the wash and take a shower right away. Try not to touch the clothes much. If you're in a car, put towels on the seats. The rash is because of oil in the plant parts and you don't want to transfer that oil to other things that you might touch later.

cover pump question
shadesDecember 5, 2010
I am fairly new to the pool world and I am wondering if there is a cover pump that most people agree is the best or most reliable. I have one now but the automatic pump function never works and it seems as if the pump doesn't work half the time. Thanks in advance!
For a solid safety cover and most tarp covers, the Rule 1800 has provided many with exactly what you are looking for.
Just gently break up the thin surface ice before setting the new pump. During extended cold snaps, unplug it. I try to encourage using the outlet nearest the back door.
I put the hose down hill, not down the driveway or walkways, and minimal exposure to lawn mowers and aerators. I like to see them flagged.

Dogs and Yellowstone
ponderinstuffJuly 9, 2003
Anyone taken them? I understand they can't go on boardwalk or trails which would seem to make it nearly impossible to do anything. Just love to hear any feedback.
Also, anyone have ideas for dealing with heat in a car or trailer? Is there a way to cool them without car running?
I've been to Yellowstone 8 or 9 times. I wouldn't want to ever have our dog with us for the reasons you stated. We had friends a number of yrs ago that took their dog with them and they regretted it because they were so limited in what they could do. If you've never been there, you should know that the best things to see require some hiking.

Marler: No excuses for England
ESPN Staff
November 2, 2012
Joe Marler says England's honeymoon period is over © PA Photos
Joe Marler admits the honeymoon is over for England and there will be no excuses for Stuart Lancaster's squad in the autumn internationals.
Since taking over as interim head coach, and subsequently being appointed to the full-time role, Lancaster has introduced a host of young players, including Marler, into the international arena.
Lancaster's young squad enjoyed a promising start by finishing second in last season's Six Nations but received a painful reality check over the summer with a physical tour of South Africa, which ended in a 2-0 series defeat.
Marler earned his first three caps on the tour of South Africa and is set to continue at loose-head prop in the continued absence of Alex Corbisiero for England's matches against Fiji, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. And the Harlequins prop is aware England must deliver this autumn, starting with Fiji on November 10.
"I haven't got the excuse of being the uncapped guy in the squad and not knowing what to do," Marler told The Rugby Paper. "November will be tough and another step up with all three Southern Hemisphere sides and Fiji who have some big boys in there as well, so I'll look forward to that.
"No one can use that excuse of not knowing international rugby anymore because the majority have been capped. We've had our honeymoon period, we worked really hard in June but we were a relatively new squad. We had done pretty well in the Six Nations, worked hard for each other and the culture changed and we did the same in South Africa.
"They outclassed us. Going over there and winning is a hard thing to do but now they come over here so this is our chance to establish ourselves as a better team. "It was great in South Africa. I really enjoyed it. It was a great learning experience and a great country.
"I was buzzing to achieve a dream I've had for a while. I'm looking to kick on now, there is plenty of competition and there are plenty of England games between now and the next World Cup and I want to play in as many of those as I can."

Gyselle brought her own sexy clothing and after changing into them, Anselmo knew that it would be a disservice if didn't get her completely naked. He persuaded her to slowly take off her tight booty shorts and then her top. He worshiped her amazing ass and perky tits while she danced around the room. Gyselle then started to gently rub her tight snatch and when she was complete dripping wet, Anselmo immediately called one of his buddies to fuck her. Anslemo was able to capture all the action for us to enjoy.

Opelousas Real Estate
View 460 homes
Opelousas real estate is located in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana and is the parish seat. With a favorable location at the intersection of Interstate 49 and U.S. Route 190, this city has a population of 16,634. Opelousas is the 3rd largest city within the Lafayette-Acadiana Statistical Area. It is also the 3rd oldest city in the state. The city was founded in 1720 and during the 18th and 19th centuries, served as a major trading post between New Orleans and Natchitoches..
Homes in Opelousas include many that were constructed from 1940 to 1969, followed by homes built from 1970 to 1994. There are some homes that were built from 1995 to the present as well as historic homes constructed prior to 1939. Residents of Opelousas real estate are served by the St. Landry Parish School District. There are several private schools in the area as well.
The city is the center of Zydeco music. The Creole Heritage Folklife Center is a destination on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail and the Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino. Opelousas has been hosting the Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Festival since 1982. As a result, Opelousas was named the Zydeco Capital of the World in 2000.
In addition, there are many other festivals and events that provide entertainment for residents and visitors. From gumbo cook-offs to an International Joke Telling Contest, the Holy Ghost Creole Festival, the Christmas Lighting of Le Vieux Village and Mardi Gras celebrations, this is a city where something is always happening.
Opelousas became the seat of St. Landry Parish in 1805 and was incorporated in 1821. This is an area with a rich history. When Baton Rouge fell to Union troops in the Civil War, in 1862 Opelousas was the state capital for nine months. The governor's mansion is still standing today at the corner of Liberty and Grolee Street. The building is a private residence.
Residents of Opelousas real estate have a diverse job market. The primary industries are manufacturing, agriculture, oil, wholesale and retail. Just to the north of Opelousas, Wal-Mart has a distribution center that generates $89 million dollars a year for this area.

Broadband caps are spreading across the U.S., and even if Comcast did recently raise its cap of four years from 250 GB a month to 300 GB, the growth of usage based broadband is a negative and insidious trend that could hurt our ability to innovate. So I've documented which ISPs have caps, and how they have structured them in this chart, as a way to help people understand who is capping their service and why. The chart contains the top ISPs, and covers more than 80 percent of actual subscribers.
The rise in caps has let ISPs influence the internet in subtle ways — most of which seem harmful to innovation. The first is to take away the idea that wireline broadband is an unlimited service, despite the ability of smaller ISPs to build out networks that don't come equipped with caps. As you can see from the chart, most of the ISPs are implementing overage charges associated with their caps. This isn't really about managing their networks for congestion. If it were, they'd implement a different type of pricing model that cost users more to surf at peak times. No, this is about protecting their entrenched TV businesses as well as keeping the price for service high, despite the decreasing costs to send traffic over the network.
It's also about grabbing more of the profits from the growth in internet services such as Netflix and Google, although caps take out those frustrations on users as opposed to the over-the-top providers. Instead of providing faster speeds for users and encouraging the growth of services that would require users to upgrade to those speeds, ISPs have taken their control of the last mile and are charging for bytes. So instead of paying more for better service, customers will pay more for what they use. This is a model that works for certain industries (think gasoline and electricity) but when it comes to encouraging more usage and innovation on the internet, the utility model seems short-sighted. Other ISPs may be thinking this same way.
For example, what if Intel had told game developers or Microsoft not to write software that would stress its chips — or penalized programmers for every megahertz of performance they used over a certain threshold? We'd end up with crappy software running on slower machines. Instead Intel encouraged people to write software for its chips and invested billions in making them faster so people would upgrade. Along the way it opened up market after market for the PC. Utility industries aren't typically hotbeds of innovation.
The Federal Communications Commission, which is charged with tracking the spread and quality of U.S. broadband, has so far been quiet on this issue, not even collecting data to track how the shift to capped broadband has affected users, much less the industry. That may be changing. But it's time that we ask if we want the internet to look like the utility or a source of continued innovation.

Something in another thread got me thinking.
It was said (paraphrasing) that access to healthcare (meaning a way to access a doctor in your time of need without it bankrupting you or forcing you to wait because you can't afford even a basic checkup) is a basic human right. If I read the answer to that correctly, the rebuttal was that it wasn't.
Since the US is the source of heated debate lately, I'll stick to the US with my question.
What do you think? Does every American citizen deserve healthcare? If not, why not? What makes those that don't have any or don't have enough un-deserving?
Note: I don't remember seeing a thread with this particular topic. If it's been done, sorry.
