Radio Review: The Fire Chief Show with Ed Wynn
Ed Wynn didn't find film and television success until 1949, by which time he was 63 years old and would continue to take on memorable film and television roles in the twilight of his life. His most famous roles included being the voice of the Mad Hatter in Disney Alice in Wonderland and Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins. His guest starring work on television would include The Twilight Zone, General Electric Theater, The Red Skelton Show, and 77 Sunset Strip.
However, this all occurred after Wynn's 63rd birthday. However, Wynn had been performing since 1910. In the early 30s, Wynn began his career over the radio on the Texaco Fire Chief Program. His character was the perfect fool (a.k.a. The Fire Chief.)
The program was the first of three shows to be named after Texaco's Fire Chief Gasoline. The gasoline was so named because it was certified by the government for use in emergency vehicles and Texaco's selling point to the public was its safety and reliability.
The product had little to do with the content of the show, which was pure Vaudeville. Using announcer Graham McNamee as a straight man, Wynn fired off silly joke after silly joke in his oft-imitated voice. The show's signature feature was Wynn "re-enacting" a famous opera like Carmen or HMS Pinafore. This would become Wynn's long term gag and as his telling of Carmen had little bearing on the actual plot, he could re-enacted Carmen every week in later years. Another favorite spot was at the end, Wynn would answer (mostly likely made up) listener questions to hilarious results. In between, Donald Voorhees and his orchestra provide some wonderful musical bridges.
Wynn's original Fire Chief Program, in my opinion, was not as good as many of the later radio comedy variety show, the Fire Chief of Program is worth listening to for historic reasons.
Most of the circulating episodes are from 1932 and early 1933, with a few from 1935. Old Time Radio from pre-FDR era is pretty rare and earliest episodes of the Fire Chief were recorded in the middle of Prohibition. In the opening of one show McNamee asked Wynn if he'd kept the Commandments this weekend. Wynn replied, "Don't be silly Graham, I always keep the commandments. My problem is with the Amendments." (referring to the 18th Amendment.)
Secondly, Wynn' s act is pure vaudeville. Wynn insisted on performing before a live studio audience. Wynn was a consummate entertainer and performer. His son Keenan made the point that Wynn was not a comedian, but a clown, and that distinction shows. Thus, we shouldn't compare to comedians like Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope, or Burns and Allen. However, as a clown, Wynn was one of the best there ever was. His radio years in the 1930s show him in his prime as a performer and pioneer,which makes this show worth a listen.

Book Review: Black Orchids
Nero Wolfe had twice as many novels published as Sherlock before he ever broke into short fiction. However, author Rex Stout would create some of his most memorable stories in the Wolfe novellas. The first two of these are collected in Black Orchids.
Black Orchids
The title story for the collection was originally published as Death Wears an Orchid. Archie has found himself assigned to flower show duty to watch a new Black Orchid bred by Lewis Hewitt to see whether it wilts or not. Wolfe finally makes a trip down in person to see it. But then fate takes a hand when Archie triggers the murder when he picks up a stick, triggering a Rube Goldberg style murder, which is the least practical part of the story.
The stick that served as the trigger belonged to Hewitt. Wolfe offers to solve the case and protect Hewitt in exchange for all three of the black orchid plants, insisting on them in advance.
To hold on to his plants, Wolfe has to not only sift through blackmail and jealousies of orchid growers, but he has to endure not one, but two women living under his roof, all while keeping his client's name out of the press. Wolfe has a clever and somewhat shocking way of doing this that makes for a great twist ending.
Rating: Satisfactory
Cordially Invited to Meet Death
New York's Premier party planner, Beth Huddleston, engages Wolfe to stop malicious letters that are threatening to ruin her business. Wolfe has her entire household under suspicion and sends Archie out to investigate. Archie finds a virtual mad house with a Chimp that blocks his way in unless he plays tag with him as well as bears roaming around. Their investigation is cut short when Huddleston dies of a tetanus infection with Wolfe only having learned one key thing: the secret to preparing great Corned Beef hash which Wolfe achieved through a precedent-breaking decision to allow a woman suspect into the kitchen to help him.
However, her brother is convinced its murder. When Archie and the brother both get the same idea and proof is found that the death was no accident, Wolfe has little reason to be engaged as he has no client. However, when Cramer insults Wolfe by taking a dinner guest downtown for questioning, Wolfe not only resolves to solve the case. He plans to rub Cramer's face in it.
Within the story, Archie offers a mystery as to why Wolfe sent some of the rare black orchids to Huddleston's funeral and never answers the question. The question is left open though Archie offers readers their choice of potential theories. Archie confesses there may even have been some past association between Wolfe and Beth Huddleston, but that much of Wolfe's past remains a mystery to him. And the puzzle of the black orchids only adds to Wolfe's mystery.

Book Review: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes continues to be incredibly popular to this day. It's near the top of the free download list on Kindle. The Librivox Audiobook version has been downloaded 1 million times on Archive.org.
The book remains the most popular literature featuring the great detective beating all the novels and other collections handily. It contains 12 classic stories:
1. A Scandal in Bohemia
2. The Red-Headed League
3. A Case of Identity
4. The Boscombe Valley Mystery
5. The Five Orange Pips
6. The Man with the Twisted Lip
7. The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
8. The Adventure of the Speckled Band
9. The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
10. The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
11. The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
12. The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Other than the unsatisfactory ending to, "A Case of Identity" each story is a true gem. They all have this wonderful mix of exciting action, clear-headed deduction, with sensational situations occurring frequently.
If you've never read the collection and you've only seen or heard adaptations of the story, perhaps the greatest benefit to be derived from reading the book is that most adaptations take stories from all the collections. What you get when you read these stories in the order they were published is how fresh and exciting the Holmes story and character was. There had never been anything quite like it and its clear in this collection that Doyle was still enjoying the character. The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes represents Holmes and Doyle at their prime. I found myself imagining what it might be like to pick up a copy of the book or be reading the original stories in the magazine if you'd never read a detective story before or if all you'd was Edgar Allen Poe's C Auguste Dupin. How exciting it must have been for the first readers to encounter Sherlock Holmes.
Of course, even 120 years after the collection was published in 1892, Doyle's masterwork stands well against any modern competitor in fascinating its readers.
Rating: 5.0 out of 5.0 Stars.

The Top Ten Perry Mason TV Movies, Part Three
Previous: Part Two and Part One
3) Perry Mason and the Case of the Lady in the Lake (1988)
Okay, it's not by Raymond Chandler but for a Perry Mason film, this one has got some nice twists. First of all, Perry's Client is an ex-tennis player who is accused of killing his rich heiress wife played by none other than David Hasselhoff.
This is one of Perry's more complex cases. It's not just a matter of this current murder, but a twenty year old kidnapping plays a big role as well. The movie was the last for Paul Drake, Jr. (William Katt) and Michael Reston (David Ogden Stiers) and its certainly a memorable one with a big twist on the usual Mason ending.
2) Perry Mason and the Case of the Sinister Spirit (1987)
A horror writer invites famous guest to a hotel he owns after having written a novel where he obviously based characters on the guests and portrayed in an unflattering way. He calls them there ostensibly to sue for peace, but instead pulls a series of cruel practical jokes on them that bring up painful memories. For Publisher Jordan White (Robert Stack) this includes a reminder of the death of Jordan's son in a swimming pool.
It surprises no one when the writer turns up murdered, thrown from the top of the Hotel and Perry's hired by White to defend him. Paul Drake, Jr. is investigating. A witness who heard the dead man's last word and saw him fall to his death is seemingly beset by supernatural occurrences, apparently being haunted. In what amounts to one of the most inexplicable scenes in all the movies, Perry impeaches the poor woman's testimony. Decency aside, there was no real reason for this and it made Drake's job harder.
However, the solution to the mystery, the story's dramatic conclusion, and a spell-binding performance by Dwight Schultz make up for these little wrinkles.
1) Perry Mason and the Case of the Desperate Deception (1990)
Perry Mason takes on Nazi War Criminals. This is the basic plot of the story. His client his young Marine attached to the U.S. Embassy in Paris. The young officer is searching for the concentration guard that devastated his family during the Holacaust. He is led to believe he found the ex-Nazi at a health club. However, when the ex-Nazi is killed, suspicion points to the young officer who faces Court Martial.
Perry Mason heads to Paris to head up the defense. He and Ken Malansky find intrigue around every corner. Mason finds ex-Nazis, traitors, and Nazi hunters roaming Paris. Perry has to sort through more than four decades of deception to find the truth, not only to acquit his client but to bring long overdue justice to the perpetrators of heinous war crimes. A goal worthy of one Perry Mason's top cases.

Stanislaus State ponders its name
A quick sampling this week found support for Stan State as the informal name for this town's university.
Turkey Tech came in second, but it doesn't stand a chance in the just-launched effort to rebrand California State University, Stanislaus.
President Joseph Sheley, in his annual welcome speech last week, said he would like input on the name over the 2014-15 academic year. He said the formal, four-word name would remain in official use, but he acknowledged that it is "a mouthful in everyday conversation."
The Modesto Bee asked readers to offer ideas via email and Facebook. About 50 people responded as of late Thursday afternoon, more than half of them favoring "Stan State." It is among the options, along with CSU Stanislaus, Cal State Stanislaus, Stanislaus State and CSUS.
Turkey Tech, not on the list, dates to the university's early years in the 1960s. It was housed at the Stanislaus County Fairground, home to poultry shows and other events. Later administrations played down the moniker, which they thought demeaning to a place of higher learning, but it has its supporters.
"There is only one name that truly fits CSU Stanislaus – Turkey Tech," Dan Burch told The Bee by email. "It's time for the Stanislaus community to embrace its heritage as warrior turkeys."
The term also evokes the turkey industry in Turlock, which started nearly a century ago and is still going strong at two Foster Farms plants.
The campus has had various formal names over its 54 years. It began as Stanislaus State College in 1960 and switched to California State College, Stanislaus, in 1974. The current name dates to 1985.
Starting the name with CSU helps identify Stanislaus with a respected statewide system that has sent millions of graduates into business, teaching, science and other pursuits. On the other hand, each campus is trying to stand out to applicants, and the location can get lost if it's at the end of a long phrase.
Experts on branding say the fewer syllables the better, which explains the appeal of Stan State. It's along the lines of "got milk?" which promotes another major industry in Turlock and is considered one of the best taglines in advertising history.
The Stanislaus State name discussion will be part of a process that also could result in a new logo for the campus.
"The most effective logo and naming processes are those that take the time to ask everyone's thoughts on the matter," Sheley told The Bee by email. "For a campus like ours, this likely will be a yearlong endeavor and will entail both formal and informal processes."
A few readers suggested putting Turlock in the name. "Stanislaus is a county and is too broad to name as a location," Bill and Judy Waterson said by email. "It would be as if Modesto Junior College were named Stanislaus Junior College."
A few other highlights from the Facebook posts:
• Kara Cruz: "Stan State ... more consistent with others like Sac State, Fresno State, etc."• Laura Fong: "Please don't call it Turkey Tech. It is neither a technical school nor is the mascot a turkey. CSU Stanislaus would be a great alternative."
• Diana Ou: "I am an alumna of CSU Stanislaus. I have always referred (to) it as Stan State. I love Stan State!"
Join the Discussion
The Modesto Bee is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Pakistanis Say Musharraf Resignation Would Improve Stability Pakistanis Want Larger Role for Both Islam and Democracy Afghan Approval of the Karzai Government and Western Forces,Though Still Strong, Is Declining Chicago Council Releases Major Study of Opinion on the Rise of China and India Public Opinion in India and America Most Indians Believe Iran is Trying to Develop Nuclear Weapons Most Indians Say India Should Limit its Greenhouse Gases WPO Poll: Afghan Public Overwhelmingly Rejects al-Qaeda, Taliban Afghans Favor Expanding Peacekeeping Operation Among Key Iraq Partners, Weak Public Support for Troop Presence Less than Half of Pakistani Public Supports Attacking Al Qaeda, Cracking Down on FundamentalistsOctober 31, 2007Questionnaire/Methodology (PDF) Pakistanis show only weak support for using force against Islamic militants and overwhelmingly oppose allowing outside forces to combat al Qaeda on Pakistani territory. A Pakistani border guard on the border with Afghanistan in November 1999 (PO1 Scott Cohen/CSTC-A) Just 44 percent of urban Pakistanis favor sending the Pakistani army to the Northwestern tribal areas to "pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters." Only 48 percent would allow the Pakistan army to act against "Taliban insurgents who have crossed over from Afghanistan." In both cases, about a third oppose such military action and a fifth decline to answer. The poll was conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org in collaboration with, and with financial support from, the U.S. Institute of Peace. Pakistanis reject overwhelmingly the idea of permitting foreign troops to attack al Qaeda on Pakistani territory. Four out of five (80%) say their government should not allow American or other foreign troops to enter Pakistan to pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters. Three out of four (77%) oppose allowing foreign troops to attack Taliban insurgents based in Pakistan. These are some of the results of a poll of 907 Pakistanis conducted in urban areas Sept. 12-28, 2007. The findings also reveal that a majority of urban Pakistanis believe their government's decision to attack militants holding the Red Mosque in Islamabad was a mistake. Polling took place before the massive suicide bombing apparently targeting former Prime Minster Benazir Bhutto on her return from eight-years in exile. More than 130 people among the massive crowds celebrating Bhutto's return died in the attack. Pakistanis show little confidence in the leaders who have dominated Pakistani politics for much of the last 20 years. Less than a third express support for either current president Pervez Musharraf or former prime ministers Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif. Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org, comments, "The Pakistani people are not enthusiastic about Musharraf, do not support his recent crackdown on fundamentalists, and are lukewarm at best about going after al Qaeda or the Taliban in western Pakistan. It appears that a US strategy that rests on Musharraf being a frontline in the war on terrorism has poor prospects." Details Since fleeing Afghanistan following the 2001 US-led invasion, Afghan Taliban insurgents and foreign militants from al Qaeda have managed to regroup in northwestern Pakistan. The remote, mountainous region is inhabited by Pashtun tribes who have enjoyed substantial autonomy since the mid-nineteenth century, when the country that is now Pakistan was a British colony Asked whether the Pakistan army should enter the region--known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas or FATA--to "pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters," Pakistanis tend to say it should, but by only a narrow 44 percent to 36 percent margin. Large numbers (20%) decline to answer. Support for allowing the Pakistan military to attack Taliban insurgents in the region also tends to be thin. When asked about "allowing the Pakistani army to pursue and capture Taliban insurgents who have crossed over from Afghanistan," respondents support such action by only 48 percent to 34 percent. Another 18 percent do not answer. There is overwhelming opposition to letting American or other foreign troops attack al Qaeda or Taliban forces in Pakistan, however. Eighty percent of those polled say American or other foreign troops should not be allowed "to enter Pakistan to pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters." Only five percent say this should be allowed and an additional 15 percent do not answer. An overwhelming majority (77%) also rejects allowing US or other foreign forces enter Pakistan "to pursue and capture Taliban insurgents who have crossed over from Afghanistan." Only nine percent disagree and 14 percent decline to respond. Other recent surveys of Pakistan and other Muslim countries have also found strong objections to the presence of American troops in Muslim lands. Pakistanis also show opposition to the government's recent crackdown on Islamic fundamentalists. On July 11, Pakistan forces raided the Red Mosque in Islamabad to oust Islamic militants. More than 100 people died in the raid, including dozens of suspected militants and at least 10 Pakistani troops. These attitudes may also reflect Pakistani sympathy for at least some Islamist goals. A substantial 60 percent majority believes that "Shari'a should play a larger role in Pakistan law" than it does now. Only 26 percent say it should play the same role (15%) or a smaller role (11%) and 15 percent do not answer. Opposition to attacks on militants may also be influenced by the continuing conflict and rising death toll. Tribesmen and militants launched numerous attacks on government positions, including a Sept. 13 suicide attack on an army mess hall that killed at least 15 soldiers. The Pakistani public shows little enthusiasm for the leadership of either President Musharraf or the major candidates for prime minister in the general elections slated for January. Asked who is the "the best person to lead Pakistan" General Musharraf is cited by only 21 percent. Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who was forced out of office in 1996 amid allegations of corruption, is seen as the best to lead by only 27 percent of respondents. Bhutto plans to lead the Pakistan Peoples Party in the January legislative elections, though she is barred from a third time as Prime Minister unless she can change current law. Nawar Sharif, the prime minister toppled by Musharraf in 1999, is seen as the best leader by 21 percent of those polled. Sharif attempted to return from exile in September but was deported within hours of his arrival. But Pakistanis tend to favor allowing both Bhutto and Sharif to run for office. Those polled say Bhutto should be allowed to return to Pakistan and stand for election by a margin of 50 percent to 34 percent and that Sharif should be allowed to do so by a margin of 51 percent to 35 percent. Respondents were divided (40% to 40%) about whether Bhutto should become prime minister. |

This was a bit of a strange-looking Sour Diesel, with almost stalk-like stems supporting columnar clusters of fat calyxes that stacked on top of one another in the characteristic "foxtail" shape. It wasn't dense in the traditional sense of overall bud structure, but the little bud columns were rather solid, as they were nothing but calyxes – it was definitely a unique-looking grow, but it appeared to be of high quality regardless. The trichome coverage was above average and the mix of greens with the brownish pistils gave this strain a fairly dark appearance overall despite its fuzzy layer of trichs.
Though the review team reported a distinct harshness and some coughing with this strain, it was definitely well-liked in this area – some of the coughing was likely due to the level of expansion this strain possessed, as it was certainly above average there. Again, the dominant olfactory sensation with this strain was a sour citrusy bite followed by a bouquet of menthol, soil, and peppery spice in a lingering aftertaste that was complex and enjoyable. This one definitely has an emphasis on the "sour" part of its namesake rather than the "diesel".
(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Mild to moderate body pain management, possible glaucoma/ocular relief, anti-anxiety, mood elevation, creativity, appetite stimulation.
This strain was very well-liked in all aspects of the review aside from minor gripes about the somewhat wispy bud structure. The taste and smell both screamed "sour" and yet the fuel/soil component of the diesel was still present. Its complex taste especially pleased the reviewers, and was indeed a foreshadowing of a powerful ride to come. The effects and duration were where it really stood out though, as it carried on to 3 hours, even on a fairly small dosage (3-4 hits). This one would be a good late daytime/after work sort of smoke, because it might put you out a bit but would otherwise provide a great sense of relaxation and well-being for several hours into the night.
Sativa-dominant hybrid (Massachusetts Super Skunk x ChemDawg) x DNL is the common lineage

Send us your favourite ocean image and it could be featured here!
You and I are alive right now because of the oceans. There is no other place in the universe so full of life as this planet; so green, so rich in diverse, beautiful, weird and wonderful, large and small species, on land and at sea and it is all because Planet Earth is Planet Ocean.
They are home to the largest animal our planet has ever known – the now-endangered blue whale - but there are still huge areas of ocean that humans have never seen. Biologists estimate that there could be anywhere between 500,000 and 5,000,000 marine species down there that have yet to be discovered.
Earth's longest mountain range is not on land but under the sea - the Mid-Oceanic ridge system, which winds around the globe from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic. It is four times longer than the Andes, Rockies, and Himalayas combined!
More people have stood on the moon than dived the deepest ocean trench and less than 5% of all the oceans have been explored. There is so much more for us to discover.
They are home to some of the longest-lived animals on our planet – including the orange roughy (a fish that can live up to 200 years) and centuries old corals. They are silent witnesses to the huge environmental damage done over their lifetimes, damage which will have a significant impact on all our futures.
But, imagine if all those millions, maybe billions, of people who get food, jobs and pleasure from the ocean worked together to stop the overfishing and other ocean destruction.
Imagine what we could do together to be the change we want for the sea.
We can do it. Companies have changed their fish supply policies, destructive fishing practices have been banned, huge whale sanctuaries created – all because the voices demanding change could not be ignored. But now, in part due to the relentless march of technology, our oceans are being altered on a vast scale and at an unprecedented speed, meaning that many more of us need to be heard - and fast.
There is one big solution that is simple and affordable – the creation of ocean sanctuaries.
If we zone off about 40% of the oceans as protected areas – places that are special to marine life, such as important feeding and breeding grounds or areas where fish populations are already at breaking point - then we can give our oceans the breathing space they need to recover and keep our planet running.
It is estimated that governments would have to spend around US$15million a year to make it happen. We will spend fifteen times more on luxury good by 2015, than politicians will set aside for the safeguarding of the world's most essential asset. Let's change that.
The oceans support billions of us. If each of us did just one thing, we could change the future. We can make sure that in years to come our children can still enjoy clean sea, teeming with life. Setting up ocean sanctuaries now will give our children and us oceans of plenty in the future. It's a big job but together we can create oceans fit for the future.
It's incredible to watch the unravelling of the tangled web illegal fishers have woven around their dirty business. Fishing companies have created elaborate webs of deception stretching from Korea to New Zealand, Argentina to South...

Doomsday for Democrats?
In the last 20 hours or so, you may have caught the Rasmussen article Number of Democrats Falls to All-Time Low, which contains some bad news for the Democrats. However, the data going back decades show that the situation may be even worse for the Democrats than yesterday's snapshot.
First, the logline from yesterday:
The number of Republicans in the country increased by a percentage point in December, while the number of Democrats fell back two points to the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports.
Republicans shouldn't get too excited about the increase in Republican registrations, as a lot of those may be crossovers re-registering to vote in states that don't have closed primaries. Both parties have generally been losing voters to independents (though the Democrats have been losing a lot more), so this uptick may mostly related to the upcoming primary.
The drop of registration of Democrats, however, should be cause for excitement among Republicans and a bit of panic among Democrats. When affiliation with your brand falls to "the lowest level ever recorded," it may be break-the-glass-and-sound-the-alarm time.
The numbers:
During December, 35.4% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That's up from 34.3% in November and just below the high for the year of 35.6% reached in May.
At the same time, just 32.7% of adults said they were Democrats, down from 34.9% in November. The previous low for Democrats was 33.0% in August of this year …
Okay, so that's not good news for the Democrats. But we took a look back in time to gain some perspective, and it turns out that the news is even worse for Democrats.
First, we looked at Rasmussen data going back to 2004. (Ranges cited for 2004 to 2008 are quarterly figures.)
In 2004, a year that Republicans did relatively well, the Democrats had registration advantages between 1.6 and 3.4%. In other words, even when Republicans did well, the Democrats were still a bit ahead on party affiliation.
In 2006, a year that Democrats did very well, their advantage was between 2.4 and 6.4%.
In 2008, another banner year for Democrats, their advantage ranged from a (quarterly) low of 6.3 to a high of a stunning 9.9%.
Fast forward to 2010. 2010 was not just a good year for Republicans, it was absolutely historic. In fact, it was the largest win in over a century, which is saying something in a country that only has a bit more than two centuries under its belt, and for a party that was only formed in 1854:
Tuesday's GOP victory is the party's largest win congressional elections since President Grover Cleveland's second term more than a century ago.
With 13 races yet to be called, Republicans have gained 59 seats in the U.S. House. That surpasses the party's 54-seat pickup in the 1994 midterm elections and the 55-seat gain in the 1946 election during President Harry Truman's term.
So, did the Republicans have a 9.9% registration advantage in 2010? 5.5% Nope.
As late as October 2010, the eve of this historic victory, the Democrats still had a 2.9% advantage. It wasn't until AFTER the election that the GOP went ahead in registration. (The GOP went to positive numbers—for the first time since 1994—in November, at +1.1%, and then rose to +3.3% in December, closing out the last quarter of their historic 2010 at an anemic average of +0.6%.)
In case the takeaway from those numbers isn't crystal clear, I will put it in red text:
Even when the Republicans scored an absolutely historic sweep, the Democrats still had a registration advantage.
So what does that bode for Democrats when the GOP is actually ahead in registration?
Here are Rasmussen's numbers for 2011:
Republican | Democrat | Other | R – D | Quarterly | |
2011 | |||||
Dec | 35.40% | 32.70% | 32.00% | 2.70% | 1.10% |
Nov | 34.30% | 34.90% | 30.80% | -0.60% | |
Oct | 34.30% | 33.10% | 32.60% | 1.20% | |
Sep | 33.90% | 33.70% | 32.40% | 0.20% | -0.30% |
Aug | 33.50% | 33.00% | 33.50% | 0.50% | |
July | 33.10% | 34.80% | 32.10% | -1.70% | |
Jun | 34.40% | 34.70% | 31.00% | -0.30% | 0.90% |
May | 35.60% | 34.00% | 30.40% | 1.60% | |
Apr | 34.80% | 33.50% | 31.70% | 1.30% | |
Mar | 34.00% | 35.30% | 30.70% | -1.30% | 0.00% |
Feb | 35.10% | 34.30% | 30.60% | 0.80% | |
Jan | 35.40% | 35.00% | 29.60% | 0.40% |
As you can see, the GOP ends 2011 with a registration advantage. Again, some of that is crossover, but if you dig into the data, you can see that the the Democrats are losing a great deal more than the Republicans. Most are going independent, and that remains a wild card in the upcoming election, but this cannot be seen as a positive development for the Democrats.
It is also interesting to note that Rasmussen's "other" category may soon become larger than the Democrats. It happened briefly in August, and it may again if trends continue.
It gets worse for Democrats. Here are Pew data from 1990 to 2003:
Other than a spike around the 1994 elections (another historic year for the GOP), the Democrats have maintained an advantage. In 2002, where the GOP gained seats in the midterms, the Democrats were still ahead by a little. (Even that was a historic year for the GOP, as the president's party almost never gains seats in the midterm election of his first term.)
So, the GOP is slightly ahead in registration now, for the first time since 1994. What if we go further back?
Thanks to Pew, that's just another chart away:
The Democrats have had a clear registration advantage for a long, long time. As you can see from recent data, there are historic changes underway in party affiliation. Obviously the growth of independents is one of the biggest stories. Republican affiliation has also been on the rise lately. And Democrats, for their part, have ceased to be dominant in affiliation advantage.
What's more foreboding for Democrats is that their brand, which recovered some of its historic advantage in 2008, appears to be in real trouble again.
If you look at the chart above, you'll see a peak right around Watergate, followed by a precipitous plummet during the Carter malaise. If you look at the data here again, you'll see that the Obama phenomenon (as it is fairly described) did manage to bring the Democrats back up into the low 40s for a short time. While this is still ten points lower than their post-Watergate high, it was still a peak. Since that point, we have seen another fairly steep drop in Democrat affiliation. In fact, it is the steepest drop since the Carter years.
Democrats might argue that both Carter and Obama were saddled with difficult economic circumstances and their party took the blame. Republicans might counter that the common factor in each drop was a Democrat president far to the left of the American mainstream.
Either way, however, one thing is clear: The GOP has almost never exceeded the Democrats in party affiliation, going back to at least the 1930s. Even when the GOP wins historic victories, the Democrats are slightly ahead or the GOP takes a brief lead only.
Going into 2012,
- with their decades-long historic advantages completely gone,
- looking at a precipitous decline in registration since their 2008 high,
- and now, with a GOP registration advantage,
- and possibly about to be surpassed in registration by independents as well,
. . . the Democrats have to be at least concerned. I know I would be.

Peaceful hideaway - close to sights
June 27, 2014
The Sculptor's House was the perfect place for staging a surprise birthday weekend. The combination of a very comfortable dining/open area and an amazing view made for a very peaceful, almost idyllic retreat. An easy walk to historic downtown St. Augustine and a patisserie even closer - we had a truly lovely couple of days in this beautiful setting.

This is our third time at the Sculptor's House and as always it is truly a beautiful house. You couldn't ask for a more perfect location to visit all the historical sights without having to drive your car. In addition to the location the views from the house are beyond expectations. The owner's and property manager are wonderful to deal with in planning your trip. We have already booked our next stay.

We need to worry about State elections not the national ones!
I have posted this on a couple of things today, the one about Oklahoma and evolution, now North Dakota has passed a personhood bill.
People are conditioned to vote in large numbers in the national elections due to all the publicity attached. While we watch those elections with anticipation, the republicans are filling our state legislatures with nutcases. Not just the state legislature, I went to town council meeting last week and met two tea party nutcases who have been elected. They were stupid and asked dumb questions but they have two votes and chair a couple of committees. It is being done so quietly. The republican plan is to pack the states with these people and dilute the power of the federal government through state rights. We must be vigilant, we must impress upon people how important ALL ELECTIONS are if we want to see issues important to us go forward. All elections, school board, county commissioner, dog catcher all of them! As I have posted before, my Dad always told me that local elections were more important because they can mess with your life more than the national elections. Wake up America, your democracy is being stolen, one small election at a time.

2. I agree with you 100%!
We have concentrated on Presidential and congressional elections the last 20 years and ignored the state and local elections, paticularly in Florida. A bat-shit crazy state legislature and governor have gerrymandered state and congressional districts so even though Florida is a purple going on blue state Democrats continue to lose ground. We all MUST re-focus on local elections!

Agent Orange Now Part Of A Different Battle
August 31, 2010 7:34 am | News | CommentsMike Baker, AP By his own reckoning, a Navy electrician spent just eight hours in Vietnam, during a layover on his flight back to the U.S. in 1966. He bought some cigarettes and snapped a few photos. The jaunt didn't make for much of a war story, and there is no record it ever happened. But the man successfully argued that he may have been exposed to Agent Orange during his stopover and that it might have caused his diabetes — even though decades of research into the defoliant have failed to find more than a possibility that it causes the disease.

If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, let us find it for you
We can tailor make excursions to suit you, be that customising the itineraries shown on this website or creating something bespokeThe Svalbard archipelago extends between 74 and 81° north, about halfway between Tromso in Norway and the North Pole. It is the northernmost place in Europe and is the farthest north you can travel by scheduled flight. The island is rich in minerals, particularly coal, and visitors can travel to settlements rich in mining history and still involved today. The fishing and whaling industry of the past have also left their mark and remnants make for interesting photographic subjects in many locations.
Together with the other islands that comprise Svalbard's archipelago, Spitsbergen has the greatest variation of natural features found at such high latitudes. Boasting a mixture of rugged mountains, sweeping glaciers, vast icecaps, endless open tundra and beautiful fjord indented coastlines Spitsbergen is, quite simply, spectacular.
With no trees, the dramatic landscape can sometimes be stark, though a wide variety of Arctic wildflowers, lichen and moss offer patches of colour among the breathtaking scenery. Offshore, drift ice and shimmering icebergs float in impossibly dark cobalt waters.
There are no roads outside of the main settlements which help to maintain the 'unspoilt' quality. It isn't difficult to discover that the lure of the landscapes is irresistible.
There are only three species of large mammal on Spitsbergen – polar bear, reindeer and Arctic fox. The chance of a sighting of any of these species is good but can never be guaranteed. However, marine species are more plentiful and include walrus, ring and bearded seal, white-nose dolphin, narwhal and orca. Belugas, fin and other whale species are also commonly sighted in the waters around Svalbard. In addition, over 100 types of birds, such as guillemots, kittiwakes and little auks thrive here, despite the high latitude.
Our Spitsbergen holidays focus on small ship cruising along the dramatic coastline, which are complemented by active adventures and land-based itineraries allowing you to explore at your own pace.

My desktop died and I went to buy my first laptop - a macbook pro 15". The very helpful employee at the Apple store confused me. His suggestion was to buy the 21" desktop (better computer/less $$) and an ipad for the mobility piece. The total cost of the macbook pro was almost exactly the same as the cost for the desktop and the ipad combined.
Now I'm not sure what to do. I'd appreciate any thoughts. |

I think for most people who aren't geekified, what the Apple employee recommends make sense. Do most of the serious work at home with the desktop. An iPad for surfing, email, social communication, etc.
But it really depends on what you as a user intend to do with your computing. For myself, I like to move around the house so having a desktop ties me down to one corner is just too boring. The notebook offer mobility and serious computing at work and home. |

Thanks for the responses - here's a bit more info.
I am not a heavy computer user. I have a small home based business that doesn't require very much computer use. I do some photo work, including retouching etc. I don't travel for business, so I don't need that kind of serious mobility. On the other hand, my youngest child heads off to college in August and I am hoping that my work life will expand - so I want some flexibility/room for growth computer-wise. Thanks again. |

My MBP is still good enough for everything I need to do on the road (mostly emails, surfing, ...). If you are in the same boat: Most computing at home and some sort of mobility on the road, the iMac + iPad solution makes sense. But if you are planning on taking work on the road a MBP might be better - you could also get an external monitor for it to work on it "more comfortable" at home. Hope that helps a bit! The iMac btw has arrived in the sorting facility in my home town here. Wonder if it's going to be delivered today :-) |

The cosmic microwave background provides a picture of the universe as it was some 300 000 years after the big bang, when the universe had cooled down enough for atoms to form, which meant that there were no longer any free electrons to scatter the photons produced in the early universe. Variations in the temperature of the microwave background therefore reflect variations in the density of the universe at this time.
The Cosmic Background Imager is a special-purpose radio telescope that is located at an altitude of 5000 metres in the Chilean Andes. The telescope consists of 13 interferometer elements on a 6-metre platform and operates at 10 frequency bands between 26 and 35 gigahertz. The CBI collaboration involves astrophysicists from the California Institute of Technology, the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, the University of Chicago and the Universidad de Chile.
The standard way to present measurements of the microwave background is to plot the power spectrum against multipole number, which is inversely proportional to angle. The standard big bang plus inflation model of cosmology predicts that this plot should contain a series of peaks, and the heights and positions of these peaks are related to basic astrophysical properties of the universe.
The CBI experiments can measure the power spectrum up to a multipole number of 3500, whereas previous experiments – such as Boomerang, Maxima and DASI – could only measure up to about 1000. These experiments have seen the first two peaks, with hints of a third. The CBI experiment can clearly see four peaks, with hints of two further peaks.
The CBI results are in agreement with previous measurements and confirm the basic model of a flat universe containing both dark matter and dark energy. "These unique high-resolution observations give a powerful confirmation of the standard cosmological model," says Anthony Readhead of CalTech, who is the principal investigator on the CBI project. "Moreover, this is the first direct detection of the seeds of clusters of galaxies in the early universe."
