Bob Meade - How frail is our Constitution?
Our Constitution was written by men who had lived under tyranny. They fought against unfair taxation without representation. They yearned for independence and the freedoms that would stem from it. They wanted a government that would do the bidding of the people, and a government structure that would inhibit power. They believed as Lord Acton had said, that . . . "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
The combination of their courage and their brilliance forged a document that spread power through three co-equal branches of government, as a way to avoid tyranny from a singular force. Changes would be slowed by the process, with split legislative branches having to reach compromise on the laws they would present to the Executive branch for signature and approval. And, if the people affected by the changes didn't agree, they could petition the third branch, the Judiciary for a redress of their grievances, and that branch would be apolitical and decide based on the law's constitutionality. That system worked well and contributed largely to the overwhelming success of our country . . . becoming the richest, the most powerful, the most generous, and the most free that the world has ever known.
Perhaps the most often overlooked feature however, is that the "separation of powers" worked because each branch respected the role of and need for the other. Our government was never intended to give one branch, or one individual, or one political group all the power. To do so would confirm, sadly, Lord Acton's wisdom. To do so would also put us on a course of diminishing freedoms and, as they diminished, they would be replaced with tyranny.
But now, we are beginning to see the frailties of our constitution. We see that if we begin to remove the respect by one branch towards another, we not only have differences between the three governmental structures for all the world to see, we evolve a distrust among the people, the citizens, who begin to "choose sides" based on their personal interest or gain, and not necessarily for the good of the country.
Some examples of constitutional frailty: The Tenth Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This important Amendment was intended to keep the power close to the people the government was to serve. Over time, those "States Rights" have been whittled away as the federal government imposes itself into areas not granted to it by the Constitution. One example is in education where, since 1977, the federal government has built an ever growing bureaucracy that has been imposing itself into what is constitutionally, within the purview of the States. As membership in teachers' unions has grown, so have the ranks of teachers. As a youngster, everyone in my family entered first grade at age five. At graduation from high school, the class was made up of 16 and 17 year olds, with a few who may have been "held back" being a year older. Gradually, as unions pushed to increase their ranks, the "need" for a kindergarten became the thirteenth grade and increased teachers' positions by over 8 percent. During that time, our reading-math-science scores have declined, not improved. Now the federal government is pushing for what they call the "common core" curriculum, and is also making a hard drive to start children in school at the age of four, throughout the country. It seems like there is an executive branch desire to reward failure with more union membership and, perhaps, another year of federalized student indoctrination. If the states don't fight for their rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment, will we see a continuing decline in our academic results? Probably!
Another example of our constitutional frailty can be seen in the executive branch's cabinet structure. The Justice Department reports to the executive branch, the president, and is responsible to see that the laws of the land are enforced. In other words, what has been enacted by the Congress, signed into law by a president, and has not been challenged and found to be in violation of the Constitution, is to be enforced by the Justice Department. However, we have seen numerous instances where this has not been done. We have also seen where the current department head has been less than forthcoming in answers to congressional oversight committees, and has been chastised by the courts for not being truthful when seeking approvals to wiretap a member of the press corps, and his family and business associates. Who prosecutes the prosecutor?
And yet another in a long list of potential examples is the executive branch signing a law that included specific dates of action, and then arbitrarily waving conditions of the law for selected groups, and changing specified implementation dates without ever having the law modified. Should not the Justice Department take some action for the laws being violated? Shouldn't the House and the Senate be granted "standing" so that they could bring those actions to the court when the Justice Department fails to do so?
Our Supreme Judicial Court is supposed to rule on a law's constitutionality. If that were so, would we have a clear left-right partisan divide, with issues of great importance being decided by a "swing vote" justice? Would we permit a Justice to openly state that he looks to see how jurists have decided similar cases in other, non-Constitutional countries? Would we put on the court a Justice with no previous experience as a jurist?
There are many examples of the frailty of our Constitution, of how it can be twisted and abused. But that frailty can be overcome if people, especially our politicians, put country before party. Otherwise, tyranny awaits.

Jeane Forrester - Why I voted against 4¢ hike in gas tax
Just recently I received an e-mail from a constituent asking me to oppose Senate Bill 367, which called for raising the gas tax in New Hampshire. He gave some compelling reasons for his argument (including the concern that as the I-93 expansion gets the bulk of funding, our rural roads and bridges are suffering). On the other end of the spectrum, there have been pleas from the Commissioner of the N.H. Department of Transportation (NHDOT) to not only raise the gas tax, but to also support the passage of gambling — both to be used as revenue sources to fund NHDOT.
I think everyone agrees that good roads and bridges are critical to our safety, quality of life, and overall economy. And not unlike many other states across the country, New Hampshire faces some real challenges in determining how to fund our transportation system in a fair and cost effective way. With limited resources, we need to manage the maintenance and repair of existing infrastructure and determine what projects are a priority.
As background, New Hampshire has two road systems, each funded differently. Our turnpike system has about 89 miles of highway and 164 bridges and various toll plazas. The Turnpike Fund provides revenue for this system through tolls and is in good financial shape. (There have been two toll increases in recent years.)
The other road system includes about 4,300 miles of state roads and 2,129 state bridges. The sources of revenue to pay for this system are road tolls (aka the gas tax), motor vehicle related fees and surcharges (e.g. registration fees), and federal funds. The Highway Fund is the sole source of revenue for funding the maintenance of the state's highway infrastructure, as well as the construction projects contained in the state's Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan.
In addition, under state statute, towns and cities collectively receive 12 percent of the preceding year's total road toll and motor vehicle fee collections. Finally, there is a diversion of highway funds to other agencies including the Department of Safety, the Judicial Branch, the Department of Justice, and the Highway Safety Agency. (In the 2016/17 NHDOT budget projections, the diversion amounts to $83 million and $85 million respectively (Projected Highway Fund revenue for 2016/17 is $231.9 million and $231.3 million respectively).
For the period 2006 through 2015, total spending by the NHDOT increased by over $120 million. Fueled by a historic spike in road construction projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), unprecedented bonding for capital projects, and increased operational expenses, the NHDOT total spending climbed nearly 20 percent over the last decade. Salaries and benefits are budgeted to increase approximately 12 percent over the next two years alone, costing $26 million. Employee benefits are among the fastest rising pieces of the NHDOT budget. While personnel expenses have actually fallen slightly from their peak during ARRA, benefits continue to rise.
According to NHDOT current projections, the Highway Fund will be cumulatively negative $50.8 million by the end of fiscal year 2016 and by $103.1 million by the end of fiscal year 2017, just in the operational portion of their budget. The department also estimates the cost of certain capital projects (completion of I-93, paving, state bridge program, etc.) could add approximately $100 million per year.
While Senate Bill 367 (the 4 cent increase in the gas tax) attempted to solve the NHDOT funding problem, it unfortunately fell short of the mark. SB-367 was estimated to raise $32 million annually, which would not even cover the operational shortfall that NHDOT projects, let alone fund any additional capital projects. Based on NHDOT projections, in order to cover the anticipated operational costs and fund $100 million in additional capital related projects per year, it would take an approximate $0.20 increase in the gas tax beginning in fiscal year 2016 for the Highway Fund to end the fiscal year 2016-2017.
Further, transportation experts agree that the traditional per gallon gas tax is not a long-term sustainable funding source. For nearly a century, gas taxes helped build America's transportation system. But today, gas tax revenues are declining. Americans are reducing their gas consumption by driving less and when we do drive, we are using fuel-efficient and alternative-fuel vehicles more frequently.
The need for infrastructure improvements far outpace the funding available and raising taxes amid the specter of a still struggling economy is burdensome. Rather than pass a tax that does little to address the projected shortfalls, we need a thoughtful and comprehensive solution.
To that end, I have co-sponsored legislation (SB-416) with Sens. Bradley, Morse, and Odell to prohibit certain allocations of highway funds and to establish a committee to study methods of maintaining highway fund integrity. Once this committee is established, it should look at setting priorities (a fix-it-first before starting new projects approach), Best Management Practices (e.g., vendor contracts, latest technology, etc.), and private-public partnerships, as well as possible revenue sources.

Susan Estrich - Our democracy shouldn't be for sale
The Supreme Court has done it again. By a 5-4 vote, with the court's five Republican appointees on one side and the four Democratic appointees on the other, the court struck down limits on total contributions to federal campaigns that have been enforced and were specifically upheld in 1976. What the 1976 court saw in Buckley v. Valeo as a "quite modest restraint upon protected political activity" that serves "to prevent evasion" of the limits on contributions to campaigns, the 2014 court has now held violates the fundamental protection of political speech enshrined in the First Amendment.
The arms race for money is not completely out of control. Sure, an individual still can only give $5,200 to an individual candidate ($2,600 for the primary, and $2,600 for the general) and is limited to $32,500 to national party committees, $10,000 to state and local committees, and $5,000 to other committees. But whereas the old law limited contributions to federal candidates and committees to $74,600 every two years, now there are no total limits at all.
For most of us, of course, these limits are meaningless. How many people can afford $74,600 in political contributions? We are in the world of the 1 percent already. But now those 1 percenters can give millions or tens of millions. Already maxed out on one committee? Believe me, someone will create another. There is no limit to the avenues to contribute and no law against it, thanks to the Supreme Court.
Does it matter? Of course it does. Sure, having more money is no guarantee of victory. But between having more and having less, every candidate alive would rather have more. And they are grateful, most grateful, to have more, however it comes in — including from other candidates and their funds, committees, the party, supposedly "independent" groups and individuals. Very grateful. You don't get a picture in a silver frame when you give this kind of money. You get access and a hearing and maybe a feather on the scale — not something anyone can prove, but enough for it to be a wise business decision and not just an expression of constitutionally protected political beliefs.
And while it is certainly true that both political parties play this game, it is not true that everyone does. As former Sen. Bob Dole famously observed decades ago, every business interest may have a political committee, but poor children don't. There are no million-dollar donations coming in from single mothers struggling to make ends meet, from homeless families seeking shelter, from the 99 percent of Americans who don't even earn enough to make this new decision of any immediate significance to them.
As for the argument that disclosure solves all problems, reality is to the contrary. Oh, once in a while we hear a story about a clumsy contribution from someone who is seeking federal funds at the very same time. Sophisticated donors don't make that mistake. They've figured out ways to avoid disclosure altogether through supposed "grassroots" committees that are anything but.
Moreover, disclosure is a one-day story at best: an enterprising reporter digging through FEC reports trying to match names and companies and issues. But very few people are around for or follow up on the calls and meetings that happen months later. Moreover, the very goal of many big donors is nothing: forestall legislation to assure that nothing is done when something should be. How do you follow that?
Democracy should be sacrosanct. It should not be for sale. The venerable principle of "one person, one vote" is essentially meaningless when a tiny percent of all Americans, by writing checks and forming supposedly independent and grassroots committees, can and do wield undue influence on the process and its elected beneficiaries.
I certainly support the Founders' vision of an independent judiciary: appointed, not elected, and serving for life. But on days like today, I can't help but wonder whether the five-man majority might see things a little bit differently if they had to raise money — and be beholden to moneyed interests — in order to win and keep their jobs.

Sanborn — Realtors have cure for log cabin fever
There were 54 residential home sales in February, 2014 in the twelve thriving Lakes Region communities covered in this real estate market report. The average sales price came in at $332,695 and the median price point stands at $214,500. Last February there were just 46 transactions at an average price of $268,188.
A guy walked into our office last week and I could tell right away he was extremely ill. He appeared very agitated, irritated, and almost delirious. A vein was practically bulging out of his forehead; he was perspiring and muttering somewhat incoherently. I immediately recognized that he was suffering from both Type I and Type II Cabin Fever. We see that a lot this time of year. It is almost an epidemic.
Type I Cabin Fever is probably the more common of the two types this time of year; especially after the gloomy, cold, and snowy winter we have had. Generally speaking, those afflicted suffer from moderate to severe depression, bouts of uncontrollable anger, and nightmares that you are in an Expedia commercial. This type of Cabin Fever can be treated easily by extended vacations to warmer climates and liberal amounts of alcoholic beverages. These are usually prescribed together.
Type II Cabin Fever is somewhat rarer and afflicts those with a pent up desire to get back to basics and live a simpler life in a rustic log cabin. Type II is harder and much more expensive to cure and unfortunately is not covered by the Affordable Care Act. There's a lot of anxiety associated with Type II, sometimes to the point of being totally debilitating. It can sometimes be put into remission by extended stays in the Alaskan wilderness, but generally it will come back after returning from the wilds.
The only real cure is to buy a log cabin and live in it until all of the symptoms subside. Right now there are over a dozen log cabins available in Belknap County alone ranging from as little as $134,900 all the way up to $1.15 million for those most seriously afflicted. Here are a couple of homes that might provide relief.
One cabin that looks really nice is at 296 Knox Mtn. Road in Sanbornton. This is a 2,574 square foot, high quality, four bedroom, two bath home. It has Brazilian walnut floors, custom kitchen with granite counter tops, a great room with cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace, a finished basement, loft, and a great wrap-around porch. Built in 2007, it sits on a nicely landscaped half acre lot and is offered at $325,000. There's also an additional 62 acres of land available for $125,000 if you are extremely contagious and don't want to spread the disease.
The cabin located at 1069 Route 140 in Gilmanton also looks like a cure. It has 2,682 square feet of space, three beds, three baths, a great room with a massive stone fireplace, first floor master, eat in kitchen with silestone counter tops, lots of windows to brighten things up, and a farmer's porch. The house sits on a 5.18 acre lot with mountain views. The property is on the market for a mere $349,000 which is a lot cheaper than intensive care these days.
I was going to tell you about this nice water access log home down at 57 Loon Cove in Alton which would have provided intense therapy, but before I could finish writing this it went under agreement. This home was built in 1986 and has 1,984 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, and two baths. It has a well appointed kitchen with center-island that flows into a large dining area, the requisite great room with cathedral ceilings, skylights, floor to ceiling brick fireplace, all wood interior, game room in the basement, and a farmer's porch. This home might not be right on the water, but there is a golf cart path that leads to the lake where there is 150' of frontage and a deeded dock. The house sits on a .69 acre landscaped lot. It was listed at $328,000. While your cabin fever might still be raging, at least one other person is cured. That's what we realtors do: cure people...

Pat Buchanan - Whose side in God on now?
In his Kremlin defense of Russia's annexation of Crimea, Vladimir Putin, even before he began listing the battles where Russian blood had been shed on Crimean soil, spoke of an older deeper bond.
Crimea, said Putin, "is the location of ancient Khersones, where Prince Vladimir was baptized. His spiritual feat of adopting Orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilization and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus."
Russia is a Christian country, Putin was saying.
This speech recalls last December's address where the former KGB chief spoke of Russia as standing against a decadent West: "Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation."
Heard any Western leader, say, Barack Obama, talk like that lately?
Indicting the "Bolsheviks" who gave away Crimea to Ukraine, Putin declared, "May God judge them."
What is going on here?
With Marxism-Leninism a dead faith, Putin is saying the new ideological struggle is between a debauched West led by the United States and a traditionalist world Russia would be proud to lead.
In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God's side. The West is Gomorrah.
Western leaders who compare Putin's annexation of Crimea to Hitler's Anschluss with Austria, who dismiss him as a "KGB thug," who call him "the alleged thief, liar and murderer who rules Russia," as the Wall Street Journal's Holman Jenkins did, believe Putin's claim to stand on higher moral ground is beyond blasphemous.
But Vladimir Putin knows exactly what he is doing, and his new claim has a venerable lineage. The ex-Communist Whittaker Chambers who exposed Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy, was, at the time of his death in 1964, writing a book on "The Third Rome."
The first Rome was the Holy City and seat of Christianity that fell to Odoacer and his barbarians in 476 A.D. The second Rome was Constantinople, Byzantium, (today's Istanbul), which fell to the Turks in 1453. The successor city to Byzantium, the Third Rome, the last Rome to the old believers, was — Moscow.
Putin is entering a claim that Moscow is the Godly City of today and command post of the counter-reformation against the new paganism.
Putin is plugging into some of the modern world's most powerful currents. Not only in his defiance of what much of the world sees as America's arrogant drive for global hegemony. Not only in his tribal defense of lost Russians left behind when the USSR disintegrated.
He is also tapping into the worldwide revulsion of and resistance to the sewage of a hedonistic secular and social revolution coming out of the West.
In the culture war for the future of mankind, Putin is planting Russia's flag firmly on the side of traditional Christianity. His recent speeches carry echoes of John Paul II whose Evangelium Vitae in 1995 excoriated the West for its embrace of a "culture of death."
What did Pope John Paul mean by moral crimes?
The West's capitulation to a sexual revolution of easy divorce, rampant promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, assisted suicide — the displacement of Christian values by Hollywood values.
Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum writes that she was stunned when in Tbilisi to hear a Georgian lawyer declare of the former pro-Western regime of Mikhail Saakashvili, "They were LGBT." "It was an eye-opening moment," wrote Applebaum. Fear and loathing of the same-sex-marriage pandemic has gone global. In Paris, a million-man Moral Majority marched in angry protest.
Author Martha Gessen, who has written a book on Putin, says of his last two years, "Russia is remaking itself as the leader of the anti-Western world."
But the war to be waged with the West is not with rockets. It is a cultural, social, moral war where Russia's role, in Putin's words, is to "prevent movement backward and downward, into chaotic darkness and a return to a primitive state."
Would that be the "chaotic darkness" and "primitive state" of mankind, before the Light came into the world?
This writer was startled to read in the Jan-Feb. newsletter from the social conservative World Council of Families in Rockford, Ill., that, of the "ten best trends" in the world in 2013, number one was "Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader."
In 2013, the Kremlin imposed a ban on homosexual propaganda, a ban on abortion advertising, a ban on abortions after 12 weeks and a ban on sacrilegious insults to religious believers.
"While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view," writes WCF's Allan Carlson, "Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12."
Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?
In the new ideological Cold War, whose side is God on now?
(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

Morin is hoping to claim the seventh inning role that was held by Kevin Jepsen last season. "Once Jeppy got traded to Tampa Bay that was my goal," he said.
In order to prepare for the job, Morin acknowledged that he needed to improve against left-handers. "I watched a lot of video this winter trying to diagnose what, when and why I struggled against left-handers," Morin said. "A lot of it had to do with the two-seam fastball I was throwing." He's been working on improving his sinker and slider during the offseason, and believes that should help against southpaws.
The 23-year-old posted a 2.90 ERA over 59 innings last year.
Morin is on the disabled list with a left foot laceration. He expects to go out on a rehab assignment but remains confident he'll be able to return when first eligible Saturday.
Morin is sidelined with a laceration on his foot, which he suffered while walking on a beach. He threw Thursday and said his foot feels about 90 percent.
Morin came in for Tyler Skaggs with two outs in the sixth and struck out Torii Hunter for the final out of the frame. The Angels scored two runs in the bottom of the frame, which proved to the difference, giving Morin his third win of the season. He owns a 2.61 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 38 innings of work this season.
Morin (2-3) struck out the first two batters he faced Tuesday, but a two-out infield single was followed by an RBI double and then a two-run home run. It was the first home run Morin has surrendered since June 20. He owns a 2.63 ERA and 35:10 K:BB ratio in 37 2/3 innings.
Morin (2-1) was the only Angels pitcher to give up any runs, but he benefited by a lengthly rain delay that caused starter Hector Santiago to be removed after four scoreless innings. Morin owns a 1.91 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB ratio in 28 1/3 innings.
Morin (0-1) opened up his tenure with the Angels by tossing eight scoreless appearances, but he's given up a run in two of his last three games. He owns a 1.54 ERA and 9:1 K:BB ratio in 11 2/3 innings.
Roth pitched one scoreless inning this spring, while Thomas threw two scoreless innings. Grube surrendered two earned runs in four innings, and Morin gave up one earned run in two innings. Sappington retired the only batter he faced in his lone appearance.

If type of the value cannot be analyzed or found out by looking into the bits(As written in books I have referred), how does the machine know how the value should be manipulated?
If type of the value cannot be analyzed by looking into the bits, how does the machine know how the value should be manipulated?
C and C++ are statically typed, meaning that types are a compile-time concept. The compiler generates code to manipulate the bits in a manner appropriate to the type; the machine executes that code, and doesn't need to know anything about the type.
The compiler knows the type of every variable because you must declare each type. So the compiler generates the appropriate instructions for dealing with a variable of any particular type.
The machine does not know: it's the compiler who knows. The same code for different types won't generate the same machine code.
The C or C++ compiler knows. So it knows to generate a MULTIPLY REAL vs a MULTIPLY UNSIGNED INTEGER vs. a MULTIPLY SIGNED INTEGER assembly instruction. Sure, at our level, it's all just a
It is known to the compiler at compile time. When the program runs then this area of memory is manipulated according to the compiled code. This is why C++ and C# force defining types in source code.

Cobh Museum is situated overlooking Cork Harbour. The exhibitions reflect the cultural, social and maritime history of Cobh and the Great Island. Formerly known as Queenstown, Cobh has a long maritime history and is known throughout the world for its association with emigration and was the last port of call for the RMS Titanic. The Museum holds the last written record for the RMS Titanic in the Pilot's Log book.
Having a large natural harbour, Queenstown was the perfect location for a British Naval base. One of the biggest historical impacts on the town happened in 1915 when RMS Lusitania was torpedoed off the Old Head of Kinsale about 20 miles from Queenstown. Many of the survivors and victims were brought to Queenstown. The people of the the town rose to the huge challenge of rescue, comforting the shocked and injured survivors, and identifying, repatriating and burying the dead. The ancient, Old Church Cemetery in Cobh became the final resting place for 169 of the souls who perished in the sinking of RMS Lusitania. The Museum is keeper of objects related to this significant event.
There is a small genealogical reference section in the museum where visitors can do their own family research.
Cobh Museum reopens on April 1st, 2015 with a new exhibition
Lusitania - A Day In May

No the assassins on the loose, nut jobs running around, and the snow storm probably would though.
Besides civilians running around hasn't really been a big thing in the Arkham games.

China's three state-run carriers will jointly publish as many as 100 mobile-phone games by the end of next year, according to a vice president at China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
China's military has used annual budget increases in excess of 10 percent to buy precision-guided weapons, fighter jets and an aircraft carrier. Now it's seeking to upgrade its recruits to operate them.
China sent its first female astronaut into space as the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft lifted off from Jiuquan in the northwestern Gansu province.
Women hold up half the sky, as Mao Zedong once declared. Decades later, they don't hold up much of anything in the halls of Chinese power.
China picked People's Liberation Army pilot Liu Yang as its first female astronaut, tapping a woman hailed as a hero for performing an emergency landing after her plane struck a flock of birds.
On the edge of Tiananmen Square, just across the street from Mao Zedong 's tomb, He Yingying munches on a piece of chicken and gazes at the benign-looking figure beaming down at her.
China's stocks rose, led by energy producers and property developers, after the biggest one-day decline in four weeks dragged valuations to a near-record low.
Hong Kong stocks rose, lifting the benchmark index to its third straight weekly gain, after China reported higher-than-estimated loan growth, and the European Central Bank raised its economic growth forecast.
Developing-nation stocks rose, sending the benchmark index to a one-week high, after China reported higher-than-estimated retail sales and the European Central bank increased its economic growth forecast.
Hong Kong stocks gained for a second day as oil-related shares climbed after China raised gasoline and diesel prices. Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd. rose on a potential spinoff of a real-estate-investment trust.
"The market is oversold and is extremely cheap."

Customer Reviews for
Death in Venice
Page 1 of 1
Posted October 1, 2010
deathless beauty always inspires madness within
Visconti's interpretation of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice is a triumphant masterpiece spot-lighting the intellectual pursuit of beauty through the metaphor of an older man admiring a young man. To the base, some will say this is a piece of homoerotic literature better written for a sophiscated wit, while to the cultivated mind, it celebrates the love of purity, chase and innocence. Aschenbach's admiration for Tadziu is as old as Civilization and new as next fall fashion. For beauty is an event prefixed upon rising above the senses in which true appreciation can be attained. The movie remains worthy of its accolades.

Voters asked to raise tax
ST. PAUL -- Most Minnesotans agree the state's water needs to be cleaned up. They support parks, trails and a wide variety of arts programs.
On Nov. 4, voters will decide whether they favor those issues enough to raise the state sales tax 0.375 percent through a constitutional amendment that keeps the increase in place for 25 years.

My first stop - For ANYTHING magic related.
Monday 01 November, 2010
I'm taking the time to do this with a damaged hand which is still very sore (gym accident with weights), and all because I believe these guys are truly worth it.
Jeff and the team are simply great people to deal with. It's as simple as that..... But they also have fast shipping times, great prices, UNREAL customer service, excellent product knowledge, a huge range of products, and a well laid out website. That all helps too!
It's a testament to the MJM Magic Team that after only a few orders with the company, I was so happy with the service that I decided 100% I will not shop anywhere else unless MJM magic cant get in a product I need (which is very rare and I'll always check with them).
Shop here and I promise you will feel the same.
Well done guys!
I just want to say thank you MJM. They had a lot patience with poor customers (just like me :"_).
Best wishes for you!Read More ->
Great service, everything arrived at the expected date, at this great price! Congratulations guys!Read More ->

WHO: Austin, Texas-based duo The Wind and The Wave are Dwight Baker and Patricia Lynn. (Dwight is "The Wind" and Patty is "The Wave.") The two met in 2009 when Dwight, a touring musician turned songwriter and producer, who's worked with such artists as Bob Schneider and Brandi Carlile, was urged by his wife to actually leave his studio ("I'm kind of a hermit," he says) and go see a friend's band. Patty's previous band was opening the show.
"I hate complimenting her," Dwight jokes, "but Patty was pretty captivating to watch."
"I thought he was intimidating," Patty says with a laugh about her first impression of Dwight. "A few weeks later we went out with a group of people for sushi and I remember not saying much."
"She was mousy and shy and quiet."
"Not anymore. Now I burp in meetings."
"Yeah, now you can't shut up," Dwight says. "I created a monster."
"Dwight is like my other half," Patty says. "He eats what I don't in the trail mix and vice versa. Cashews are the best."
"Cashews are disgusting." Dwight says. "Yeah, it's really adorable to watch us every morning eating oatmeal together on the road. We're like 90-year-old women gossiping about shit, and her going, 'Can I have your nuts?'"
Declaring Patty's voice the best thing about her band, Dwight expressed an interest in working with her, which led to his producing several of her projects. A creative partnership was born. The two describe themselves as being "cut from the same thread" and "rarely on different pages."
WHAT: Last year, The Wind + The Wave released their debut album From The Wreckage with RCA Records. The album glows with a rootsy golden tone that encompasses everything from indie-folk, to alt-country, to blues-rock to Southern psychedelia. The raucous first single "With Your Two Hands" sounds like it could have been written during an impromptu back-porch jam session. Baker and Lynn have just released their second single, "It's a Longer Road To California Than I Thought".

We tend to think of the internet as something akin to aether, present all around us in the void – or perhaps something traveling down a series of tubes – the reality is much more complex, rich and intriguing.
In an upcoming book titled Networks of New York: An Internet Infrastructure Field Guide, Ingrid Burrington presents an urban variation on a naturalist's handbook, giving you the tools to tour the real-life objects that are often obscured or simply hidden in plain sight all around cities.
From the author, "New York's network infrastructure is a lot like the city itself: messy, sprawling, and at times near-incomprehensible. However, the city's tendency toward flux is a strange blessing for the infrastructure sightseer: markings and remnants of the network are almost everywhere, once you know how to look for them."
The story starts with manhole covers and progresses through street markings, which follow a federal color-coding standard: "Orange refers to the broad catch-all of 'Communications, alarm, signal lines, cables and conduit.' This means that orange lines can be internet cables, television cables, telephone lines, or other kinds of conduits."
"The markings are sometimes really sloppy, and often in fragments. Sometimes you'll see several different labels in the same place. A lot of these cables are bundled up together running through ducts under the city." Suddenly all of the strange acronyms are comprehensible, including but not limited to: CATV, NXTG, T, ECS, RCN, MCI, L3, XO and FO.
The book also branches out to cover different kinds of antennas security cameras we are so used to seeing but many of which we do not understand the purpose of at a glance, from subway wifi devices and distributed antenna systems to CrimeEye, MTA and NYPD surveillance camers.
Finally, the authors builds up to the biggest elements of the built environment: architectural structures housing various large-scale elements of internet infrastructure along the city. Some of these are well-known, but the book brings to light a series of buildings less frequently visited, and provides tips on how to identify others.
Recognizing "these buildings when looking on the street is not always easy, but one telltale sign is to look for signs of ventilation and cooling systems. Alternatively, look for windows, or more accurately, the absence of them. (Note: on much larger buildings, in particular skyscrapers, vents also could just be a sign of a mechanical floor, the centralized space dedicated to maintaining utility needs for the entire building)."

The Man Who Saw God
Michael doesn't consider himself to be a religious man but he finds himself full of questions about God. In search of a spiritual mentor he looks for answers about some unusual personal experiences. His questions aren't so much about God's existence but about whether it's possible to have a face-to-face encounter with Him.
In The Man Who Saw God the human quest for truth and understanding of the world beyond the senses and emotions is explored. When author Pagen's protagonist approaches Ben a spiritual teacher he immediately asks if God exists and if it's possible to have an encounter. Ben's response is "Why don't you start by presuming that there is something that matches the definition of God and a direct encounter really is possible. What then is your next question?"
From this first encounter with Ben Michael is given some basic thoughts to take home with him —thoughts about finding God in the silence between thinking and not thinking then later thoughts about living in the present and letting go of thoughts about the past and future. Michael returns to Ben's cabins in the woods just west of Santa Barbara California and is challenged to do things such as move a needle telekinetically. Many times Michael leaves frustrated or has unanswered questions that arise while he's at work or at home.
Pagen's book is intriguing drawing the reader into complex issues and deep questions about faith God time and spirituality. The characters have depth and live real lives lending credibility to the story. The themes explored by the characters make the reader stop and rethink emotions memories faith death and fear of the unknown. The book is well-written and organized and also easy to read. While the story is a bit short it offers very concise descriptions wasting no words. The ending is "To Be Continued" intriguing the reader to follow up in the future with upcoming stories.
The Man Who Saw God opens the mind to new ways of thinking about the past present and future so that readers can contemplate living fully right now. As Ben says "The past is memory the future is imagination and anything that's real is part of this present moment."

Respond to Review of Gopal
by estefinparis
Review: Gopal is a great place for a quick bite and will satisfy your vegan junk food cravings. Don't eat here if you're looking for healthy food, though, as everything has gone through the frying machine. Burgers, croquetas, patatas bravas, bocadillos.... Everything is really tasty and nicely presented. The juices and smoothies are also great, but make sure you don't leave Gopal without trying one of the cakes, wow!

No part of Kentucky was spared the record-breaking snow fall and temperatures this week. Schools, businesses and many government agencies had to close, as did the General Assembly due to the hazardous weather. When such weather emergencies occur, and so many counties and even the governor declare states of emergency, ensuring safety and helping those in trouble due to the extreme conditions take priority. I hope you and your family have remained safe and secure throughout the winter storms.
Like most of the state, the Kentucky House of Representatives saw its schedule put on ice last week because of the snow and plunging temperatures.
While the damage and outages did not cause the same level of devastation that Kentucky experienced in 2009, there has been one constant between now and then: The tireless work of our road crews, first responders, hospital and utility workers and those who have kept our local businesses open. I know many pitched in as well to donate food and clothing for those in need and to check on their neighbors and friends.
As most of you know, House Bill 145, which prohibits indoor smoking in public buildings and workspaces, passed in the House of Representatives this past week. Thank you State Representative Terry Mills for supporting this extremely important piece of legislation for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is very satisfying to see a representative of the people working to create a safer atmosphere for the health and well-being of all people.
By G.B. Dixon
Guest columnist
With an eye on the dwindling days left in this year's legislative session, the Kentucky House moved virtually all of its top priorities a step forward last week and should have most sent to the Senate by early this week.

Google Webmaster Tools Adds "Security Issues" Section
Google has announced the addition of a new section within Webmaster Tools named "Security Issues." This new section is aimed at better communicating to website owners security issues, such as site hacks, malware, and so on and then giving a more detailed and concise method of fixing the problem and submitting a review request.
In the new security issues section, you'll be able to:
- Find more information about the security issues on your site, in one place.
- Pinpoint the problem faster with detailed code snippets.
- Request review for all issues in one go through the new simplified process.
Find More Information:
You'll be able to see all sorts of security issues that may be on your site, including malware code injection, error template injection, SQL injection, content injection for spam and much more.
Here is a screen shot of some of these security issues as seen in Webmaster Tools:
Pinpoint The Security Threat:
Google will then let you zoom into the actual hack or malware, so you can quickly scan your site for a match on that suspicious snippet of code or content. Here is an example of what that may look like:
Easier Review Requests:
Finally, after you fix the issue(s) you can quickly check the box that reads, "I have fixed these issues" and then click the "Request a review" button to expedite the review process. This should expedite the process of removing a malware or hack warning on your site's Google snippet and/or inclusion of your site back in Google's search results.
