Kitzhaber cant
We are saturated in left-wing media. I think it is literally impossible to imagine a world in which the media were impartial, or fair, or tilted right rather than left. Professor Tim Groseclose nevertheless brings the methodology of quantitative social science to the task in Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind and the results are fascinating.

Senate Democrats Vote to Shut Down Department of Homeland Security
In a shocking move, Senate Democrats today filibustered all funding for the Department of Homeland Security. They refused to allow the DHS funding bill, which has already passed the House, to be brought up for a vote. This means that funding for DHS, including its many vital national security functions, will soon run out. Why would Democrats vote unanimously to shut down DHS? Because the funding bill excludes the implementation »
Kane cant
We tuned in to the saga of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane (a Democrat) in three posts last year: "Culture of corruption," followed by "Culture of corruption update" and "Philadelphia four run for reelection." Kane appeared to me to be guilty of questionable professional conduct that she defended through the deployment of race and sex cards. Having killed an investigation of black Philadelphia officeholders when she assumed office, she accused »
Civil War on the Left, Part 13
It was barely more than a week ago that I advised everyone to get a new popcorn machine for the identity politics infighting that is going to take place among Democrats in the California primary to replace Babs "Don't Call Me Ma'am" Boxer next year. Just to remind you, I said: There's lots of talk in the media about how Jerry Brown and our two old ladies in the Senate »
Blast from the (Democratic) Past
Sen. Joni Ernst is getting mixed reviews for her delivery of the GOP response to Obama's State of the Union speech. I thought she did fine with an awful format. I actually think the party might want to skip making a response, but we can have that discussion later. But if you're in the camp that is critical of Ernst, you should see the Democratic response to Reagan in 1985, »
Greatest. Democrat. Ever.
Of all the disgraceful members of the Democratic Party, hatemonger Alan Grayson, Congressman from Florida, may be the most despicable. On the positive side, however, he also provides a good deal of comic relief. Here is the latest on Grayson: A trial to determine whether U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson's wife committed bigamy when she wed the congressman has been delayed because she required emergency surgery to remove breast implants. A »
Does The Democratic Party Have a Future? (Part 2)
John introduced this subject a few items below, and it deserves not just a hopeful "NO!" in response, but additional analysis. The Washington Post yesterday put together a nice little scoreboard of Democratic losses during the Obama years (displayed below), and it is stunning to realize how disastrous Obama has been for Democrats not named Obama. Obama has seen the worst party erosion ever, more than Republicans during the Watergate »
Does the Democratic Party Have a Future?
When Republicans lose an election, the response from the press is immediate and overwhelming: Republicans need to move to the left and be more like Democrats. But somehow, when the Democrats' power slips away over a series of election cycles, the message is quite different. The Associated Press takes note of the Democrats' current woes: As Democratic senators gather in Baltimore to talk strategy and lick election wounds, their party »
Is Elizabeth Warren running for president? It looks that way
I hear through sources within Elizabeth Warren's circles that the Massachusetts Senator intends to run for president. Warren's behavior is entirely consistent with this view. She is pounding her core message — "the system is rigged" — as relentlessly as John Edwards pounded his "two Americas" theme when he ran twice for president. And she is distancing herself from President Obama — and, by extension, Hillary Clinton — by insisting »
Cuomo's moment
Three-term former New York Governor Mario Cuomo died yesterday at the age of 82. The New York Times recalls him in the obituary by Adam Nagourney and the New York City sidebar by Sam Roberts. Cuomo was an eloquent preacher of the liberal gospel at a time when the gospel had been eclipsed by Ronald Reagan's political and policy successes. At the Democratic Convention in July 1984, giving the keynote »
What is different for Hillary Clinton the second time around?
We closed today's Power Line show with a brief discussion of the outlook for Hillary Clinton in the coming year. I speculated, and Steve agreed, that Clinton likely will not be able to clear the field of rivals for the Democratic nomination. This time next year, she may very well still be the Democratic frontrunner, but probably will not have an unimpeded path to the nomination. This was about where »
Jim Webb for vice president?
In response to my post about Jim Webb's presidential prospects, a reader suggests that Webb may actually be angling for the vice presidency: I wonder if Webb's intent isn't to become VP nominee. He simply informs Clinton, Warren, or whoever wins the nomination that they will not carry VA, NC, WV, & PA if he campaigns in those states for the Republican nominee which he will do if he is »

Will 2016 resemble 1968 for Democrats?
I've been dismissive of Jim Webb's prospects for winning the Democratic presidential nomination. But Jacob Heilbrunn's column on Webb, and Steve's commentary on that column, made me take another look. On second look, I still don't see Webb getting very far. Will female Democrats favor Webb — currently in his third marriage and the author of what some might consider a sexist novel — over Hillary Clinton? Not likely. Will »
The Collapse of the Democratic Party In South Dakota: What Happened?
2014 was a terrible year for the Democrats nationally, but in South Dakota it was a catastrophe: Democrats hold only 20 out of 105 seats in the state's legislature, all 13 officers and representatives elected statewide are Republicans, and in the race for Governor, the Democrats suffered the worst margin of defeat in the state's history. This marked the nadir for a party that as recently as 1978 was riding »
Democrats to Colbert: Thanks For Your Help! [Updated]
I have never seen Stephen Colbert's show on Comedy Central, but I take it that it consists of an endless series of anti-Republican "jokes." If asked, would Colbert admit to being a loyal Democratic Party foot soldier, or would he claim to be a stubbornly independent sort who socks it to both sides?

Laundry Bag I use the bag as a laundry hamper.I have large hooks at the top of my bathroom door and I hang the bag to the hook. However, as soon as I add to the weight inside the bag, the drawstring pulls the bag tightly closed. It is then impossible to add to the contents unless I remove the bag from the hook. Is there a solution to this problem

How to Measure a Suitcase for Airline Travel
Airlines in the United States and throughout the world enforce strict policies regarding luggage size. Luggage can't exceed specific requirements for size or weight, or you will be required to pay an additional fee. Some airlines use a sliding scale to determine fees for overweight or oversize luggage. Those bags that are extremely large or heavy might be assessed a higher fee than bags that are just slightly more than the limit. You can avoid paying these extra charges by taking the time to learn how to measure a suitcase for airline travel.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.

Benefits of Lightweight Luggage
When it's time to get new luggage and bags, consider lightweight luggage. When you are shopping for a luggage set or individual bags for your next trip, it's important to pay attention to the weight and size of the empty luggage. Luggage made with aluminum, plastic or fabric offers a number of benefits for both short and long trips. Lightweight luggage is specially designed to be lighter than standard luggage and reduce the strain and fatigue of carrying your luggage around while traveling. Sleek and compact styles can be stowed easily in an overhead cabin or under a car seat, while larger luggage sets can keep you organized during long business trips or vacations. Keep reading for more benefits of lightweight luggage.
Benefits of Using a Travel Backpack When Traveling
Travel backpacks offer a number of benefits for all types of travelers and may be an attractive alternative to larger tote bags, duffel bags and miniature suitcases. Whether you're traveling with a backpack over a long distance or traveling by plane with a small backpack as a carry-on, use a travel backpack designed with extra compartments and tight-fitting, portable style to ensure a comfortable travel experience. Easy to stow and store: The design of a travel backpack makes it easy to store it in overhead bins in a bus, train or airplane. The soft sides of a backpack let it conform to tight storage spaces. Many travel backpacks have compression straps that let you cinch the packs contents down to take up less space. Comfort: Travel backpacks put less strain on your body than most other kinds of luggage because their weight doesn't pull on one side of your body. Travel backpacks are designed to evenly distribute their load on your shoulders and hips, making them easy to carry for several hours. Thick straps with lots of padding make it even more comfortable. Keeps travelers organized: Many travel backpacks are designed with several compartments to store smaller items, such as water bottles, a cell phone, MP3 player, PDA, passport and subway tokens. This makes it easier to stay organized while traveling, ensuring that all your basic items and accessories are within easy reach. Easy to move around: Probably the biggest benefit of using a travel backpack is the ease of movement it provides. You don't have to worry about dragging a rolling suitcase up a flight of stairs. A travel backpack is also easier to maneuver through a crowd of people than most other types of luggage. Protects items from the elements: Many travel backpacks are made with water-resistant and waterproof fabrics that protect your valuables no matter what the weather forecast may look like. Travel backpacks made with polywick fabric, ballistic nylon and other weatherproofing materials are especially beneficial for travelers who will be outdoors for most of their trip.

What to Pack for Africa's Highest Peak
Imagine that you are planning a trip that will take you from the equator to Antarctica in seven days. Now imagine that you have to limit the amount of gear you pack to 35 pounds or less. The task is getting more complicated. What kind of luggage would you choose and how would you pack for a trip that encompasses such extreme changes in climate and altitude? When Erica Davis, a paraplegic athlete, and Tara Butcher, a physically challenged athlete, climb Africa's highest peak, they will have to answer exactly those questions. The challenge: Mount Kilimanjaro rises from nearly sea level all the way up to 19,330 feet. The trail climbs from the hot bushland through rain forest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic glaciers up to the rocky Uhuru peak. A climb like Mt. Kili presents special challenges when it comes to luggage, clothing and gear. Being prepared for the weather and temperature extremes is a necessity, but it's also important not to pack too much. There is a 35-pound weight limit to each piece of luggage carried by a porter. Most climbers pack one 35-pound capacity bag to go up with a porter and one small daypack to carry up themselves. The daypack: Erica and Tara will have 7 days to summit Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. As they pass from one ecological zone to the next, their needs will change and so will the contents of their daypacks. Each day Erica and Tara will repack their daypacks in anticipation of the specific challenges of the day's journey. In general, their daypacks will include things like water, snacks, dry clothing, waterproof gear and sunscreen. The importance of keeping clothing and gear dry cannot be overstated. When choosing a daypack, a small to medium backpack made of lightweight, moisture-resistant material that comes with a removable waterproof shell will be ideal. It's also helpful if the backpack has convenient access to a water bottle compartment or can accommodate a water bladder. Plenty of pockets, zipper compartments and hooks are also handy. What to pack: A sturdy but lightweight water-repellant duffel bag with a capacity of about 35 pounds is ideal for the trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The bag needs to have room for plenty of layers of breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and layers of fleece clothing, as well as a waterproof layer. To save space, it's a good idea to pack clothing that does double duty, such as pants that easily convert into shorts. Aside from clothing, the climb will also require accessories like sunglasses, hats and gloves, plus equipment like trekking poles and a headlamp, as well as toiletries like sunscreen, insect repellent and a first-aid kit. Support the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Overstock.com and the C.H.E.K Institute are co-sponsoring Erica and Tara's climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness for athletes with physical challenges who wish to participate and compete in sports. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). CAF raises funds to give physically challenged athletes the opportunity to stay active and competitive in the sports they love. To show your support for physically challenged athletes like Erica and Tara, donate now to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the Fit 4 Kili Climb.

Hardside Luggage vs Softside Luggage
There are some very obvious differences between hardside luggage and softside luggage. But there are also a lot of more subtle differences, and knowing all the differences between the two types of luggage can help you find a luggage set that is right for you and makes your travels easier. Materials: Hardside luggage is usually made of aluminum or polycarbonates. They are chosen because they have a good strength-to-weight ratio. Softside luggage is made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, cotton, polyester, leather and other durable materials. These materials are chosen because they are lightweight, flexible and durable. Features: The features offered on softside and hardside luggage are nearly identical. They both often offer wheels and extendable handles for convenience when carrying the luggage. Inside, they can have an array of pockets for holding toiletries or preventing clothes from getting wrinkled. What can be different is that softside luggage typically has several pockets that are accessible without opening the suitcase. Also, softside luggage almost always uses zippers to hold it close, but hardside luggage will have some type of latch to secure it. Price: Many factors determine the cost of luggage; one of which is the materials it is made of, but features, size, brand and other factors play a part as well. Not all hard materials are the same and not all soft materials are the same, but on average, the initial cost of hardside luggage is going to be higher than the initial cost of comparable softside luggage. One thing to consider though is value. If you are a frequent flyer, the initial cost of hardside luggage might be offset by its longevity. Use: If you are someone who keeps their luggage close to them and will only take a carry-on with you, the lightweight, flexibility of softside luggage might be better for you. The rigid shape of a hardside case doesn't always conform to the shape of an overhead bin; however, if you like to check your bags, hardside luggage is less likely to be damaged when thrown around in the holding area and will keep its contents from getting crushed when another bag gets thrown on top of it. Bottom line: When it comes down to it, both softside luggage and hardside luggage do the same basic thing. But the choice is about you and what you want. Do you want something that is incredibly durable and will protect everything inside of it? Or would you rather have luggage that is more flexible and lightweight?

Best Women's Pants for the Weekend
After a week of wearing professional clothes for work, dressing casually and comfortably for the weekend just requires a few pairs of women's pants. This does not mean you have to skimp on style. Whether you want to have a dinner out with friends or simply need to run errands, there are plenty of comfortable wardrobe options that do not involve T-shirts and sweatpants. Stay stylish during the weekend by choosing women's pants that fit and pairing them with accessories, blouses and shoes you already own. Wear khaki pants for almost every occasion. Khaki pants are perfect for weekend wear, especially if you want an alternative to jeans. Khaki pants are casual but still appear stylish and come in a variety of lengths. Cropped khaki pants hit at about mid-calf, and capris fall just below the knee. The most flattering style is straight-leg because it gives khakis the appearance of being well-fitted and works with any type of shoe. Find the perfect pair of jeans. Jeans are the ultimate pants for the weekend. Comfortable and versatile, women's jeans come in a variety of washes and colors to go with anything in the wardrobe. Cuts like wide-leg, low-rise, boot-cut and straight-leg allow women of any size and body shape to find a pair of jeans that fit well. While women's jeans may be considered casual, pairing them with heels or wedge shoes and a loose-fitting blouse or sweater can create a more formal or put-together look. To keep jeans casual on the weekend, pair them with flats and a knitted top. Stay comfortable in velour pants. If you prefer to lounge the weekend away or just run a few errands, velour pants are soft and can be worn year-round. Velour pants often come in sets with zip-up hoodies, giving you a simple option for weekend wear. These pants come in a variety of colors, often include pockets and offer a simple drawstring waistband for comfort. Velour pants are also great for working out, so you can easily wear them throughout the day before a trip to the gym or outdoor activity.

A recent independent analysis uncovered a void in the nation's efforts to address global climate change: currently no plan exists to account for and manage greenhouse gas emissions created by energy development on public lands.
The Tennessee Wilderness Act, sponsored by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Bob Corker (R-TN), would create the 9,000-acre Upper Bald River Wilderness Area and expand five existing wilderness areas.
After years of neglect by the federal government, our country's conservation programs are in serious need of restoration.
Often working in the shadows of better-known male conservationists, female conservation leaders helped drive the 20th century conservation movement. In celebration of Women's History Month, we honor 11 of those women who have made a difference to America's wild lands.
Most Americans turned their clocks "ahead" for Daylight Saving Time on March 8.

President Obama has vowed to urge Congress to designate new wilderness in the Refuge. Encourage him to keep fighting for this threatened land.

Six killed in Gaza clashes
Six people have been killed and over 60 wounded in gunbattles with Palestinian police in the Gaza Strip, as the militant group Hamas said it was suspending attacks inside Israel.
The dead in the refugee camp of Jabaliya in northern Gaza included a 14-year-old boy who died several hours after being shot.
Correspondents say Mr Arafat's crackdown on militants - forced on him by Israel and the Americans - has now led to the worst Palestinian on Palestinian violence in years. Another radical group, Islamic Jihad, has said it too is considering suspending suicide attacks. Israel has given a sceptical reaction to the Hamas announcement, while the United States called for a halt to all violence and urged Yasser Arafat to take more action against militants. The Palestinians say the ball is now in Israel's court to help halt the last 15 months of conflict as they try to contain their own internal divisions. Intra-Palestinian tensions The announcement came amid a fierce confrontation between Islamic militants and Palestinian police trying to arrest them. The trouble started on Thursday when police began arresting supporters of Hamas, which has said it was responsible for the recent bombings in Jerusalem and Haifa that killed 25 Israelis.
Armed clashes erupted after the funeral of a Palestinian youth shot dead in Jabaliya on Thursday. They had broken out after Palestinian police chased gunmen who had been trying to fire mortars at a Jewish settlement on occupied Palestinian land. There was further trouble in central Gaza, when about 400 Hamas supporters attacked a police station where they believed Hamas supporters were being held. Struggle continues The Hamas statement, which came after leaders of the group met representatives of Mr Arafat, said: "We announce the stopping of all martyr operations in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948 and an end to all mortar shelling.
"This decision is to protect our Palestinian national union and to guard our way of struggle until we get our independence, although we know the Israeli occupation and its aggression policy will continue." There is no suggestion of any halt to attacks on Israeli targets in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. And the group's armed wing has made clear that the truce will not hold if Israel continues its controversial policy of killing Hamas militants or if it attacks Palestinian civilians. Israel immediately dismissed the announcement. "This is a tactical move by Hamas which is a terrorist organisation," said Gideon Meir, a senior Foreign Ministry official. Mr Meir said the Palestinian Authority had made a deal with Hamas to postpone its police crackdown in return for a temporary halt to suicide bombings in Israel. The US White House spokesman, Ari Fleischer, said: "All terror activities everywhere must stop immediately. Ensuring this is Chairman Arafat's responsibility. "Hamas is a terrorist organisation. It remains Chairman Arafat's responsibility to demonstrate that he does not want terrorism to be practiced in the Middle East," Mr Fleischer said. |

42 year old woman | Indianapolis, IN, USA | Seeking men 40-50 in Indiana, United States
Life is too short to be unhappy!
Sassy...well, not all the time, but I think a bit of it, along w/ good humor, makes for a fun combination. That is my approach to many things in life. I am looking for someone who mirrors my qualities of being a kind, generous, loving and faithful person. Someone who is looking for a long term (committed) relationship who I can roll through life with. I have an open mind about marriage on down the road for when the right man comes along. :) I am patient and very family-oriented. I am passionate about teaching my children to be kind and thoughtful people and raising them to be good role models. I am driven and motivated; up and working out by 5am and a bit competitive yet in a good way. I play 1st base on a summer softball league and for the past two years ran the mini and am training to run it again this year. I haven't broken any records, but certainly enjoy the experience and challenge. I have been divorced for 9 years now so I have had time to heal and move on. It's not a requirement for me to have a man in my life to be happy, yet I'm at a point where I would enjoy sharing my life with someone special. My children are 14 and 11 and they are my priority - we are a package deal. However, I will gladly make time for the one who holds the key to my heart. :) I am very independent and like the person I am. I think the sexiness of a man is based in part on how he treats and communicates with his significant other and strangers alike. I am looking for someone who allows me to be me, is encouraging, accepting and kind and who allows me to be all those things to him. His confidence (not arrogance) will speak volumes about him. Fun...enjoy all types of sporting events, not just as a spectator. I enjoy going out for a beer, wine, a meal or a movie with a group of friends or just one-on-one. I'm the type of person who gets events and outings set up instead of waiting for someone else to make it happen. I also enjoy a night in with a good movie (or football) and cuddling on the couch. I love learning new things about people and having someone to share new experiences with.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) -- A University of Michigan-Flint student hopes to use his graduation cap to take a bite out of his education debt.
Alex Benda of St. Clair tells the Detroit Free Press he wants to cash in on the 10-inch by 10-inch hat by selling ad space in 1-inch squares on top. He says if he's able to sell 100 squares he'll have wiped out his about $30,000 in student loans.
The 22-year-old international business major is scheduled to graduate in a few months. He says it's "scary" to think about trying to find a job while having so much debt.
As of midday Monday, he's raised more than $1,200 online from 12 backers -- but no square buyers had yet to make a pledge.

Show Details
Cold War Kids
Sat, October 26, 2013
Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM
Los Angeles four-piece Cold War Kids elevate their passionate take on indie rock with their emotionally-raw fourth album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts.
Formed in 2004, the band's breakthrough debut Robbers & Cowards was released to considerable acclaim in 2006. The darker Loyalty To Loyalty followed two years later, and 2011's Mine Is Yours introduced deeper anthemic qualities to the eclectic group's catalog.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts, which features the rollicking, energetic single "Miracle Mile," is Cold War Kids' first release with former Modest Mouse and Murder City Devils guitarist Dann Gallucci, who also handled its production alongside Lars Stalfors.
"We were shaken up, ready to let certain songs go further than before by trying new styles and arrangements, while keeping others sparse and caring more about the finished product and less about how we got there," explains frontman Nathan Willet about the ten-track album, which was recorded at the band's private studio in San Pedro, CA.
"Everyone becomes sea urchins and rats at night," says PAPA's Darren Weiss, laughing
slyly. "It's the nature of being young."
Like with an inside joke you know, you smirk along, succumbing to a moment of reverie.
The suggestion of crawling so close to the dirt floods in bastard memories. And so, when
the versatile drummer, singer and principle songwriter next puts his band's musical
efforts in simple terms such as, setting out to make "American soul music with a punkrock mentality" on its forthcoming EP, A Good Woman is Hard to Find, you nod along,
like, yeah that sounds about right.
There's a poetic purity that runs through the songs, suggesting devious truths and well
told lies, rolling along with a natural swagger that thoughtlessly evokes hard-hitting
shakes and slow-swinging shimmies. Weiss' earnest vibrato often takes on a
Springsteen-like growl in its best moments, crooning reminiscences on "I Am The Lion
King," "I got to make a you a woman. You got to make me a man." In each song's groove
there's a dangerous sexiness to PAPA—the furious grip of the dance floor, the cold
pavement outside, and the way you kiss when you're not sure you'll ever see the person
again or whether you'd even want to.
A Good Woman is Hard to Find is an album as ripe for romance as it is partying. It has
moments of aggression and simple bliss, with a classic sense of harmony, melody and
style. It's a modern, rough-and-tumble take on classic soul, without a doubt. With the
help of Weiss' musical partner, friend-since-childhood, bassist Danny Presant, the tracks
gain a hip-hop sensibility that separates PAPA from simple revivalists and instead into
timeless territory. It's an exacting and revelatory ode to what's wrong with modern
romance but what won't stop one from giving it another go. Meanwhile, the cover art
shows a waifish, made-up girl, smoking a cigarette, smiling with a come-hither wink that
suggests a good time but history argues otherwise. Here we go again. It's an instant
testament to our hero's exhausting trials in love and those superficial layers that brutally
slice through once promising, meaningful connections.
Weiss and Presant grew up in Los Angeles and have always had a home in California.
Weiss is also a passionate painter and writer of prose.
PAPA's A Good Woman is Hard to Find will be released October 4th on Hit City U.S.A.
and Psychedelic Judaism.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Jewish Life in Berlin Half Day Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
our guide was Finn and we had an interesting tour with many hidden gems which
we would not have discovered on our own. very informative.
Amazing guide. Had a wonderful understanding of the infiltration of Nazi propaganda into the Berlin population. Fascinating.
The tour was a great experience. The guide, Caroline, was excellent, highly knowledgeable, communicative and very pleasant.
our guide was very well informed and made the trip very interesting. This is a worthwhile tour which is quite a lot of walking but is all on the flat.
although there are just remnants, bits and pieces of what was the young man who guided us made it come alive. He kept up a running commentary as we went along and answered all questions patiently.Since he was from the states originally his english was perfect... it makes a difference.
He covered a lot of territory, both physically and historically, and it made for a very enlightening morning.
Our guide, Carlos, was great!
This was a very interesting, informative, sensitive and worthwhile tour of history that is not generally known. My guide had an excellent knowledge of Jewish life in Berlin prior to WWII.
A very informative and enthusiastic guide! This tour is very worthwhile and helped to put into perspective the story of Berlin's Jewish community
Very friendly and informative. The only flaw was a heavy downpour just before our final two stops.
Excellent tour! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took us to the Jewish quarters and we learned a lot about the overall and 2nd world war history. Highly recommended.
Excellent Tour. Excellent Guide.
Vicki R
The tour guide is highly knowledgeable about Jewish history. She was open to questions and took adequate time to explain the history behind the memorials, monuments, and buildings dedicated to the Jewish history in Europe & Berlin.
Robert P
Take this tour! You will not only see a part of Berlin you would miss on your own, but the tour contains wonderful history of the city, not just of Jewish life in Berlin. Our guide was outstanding!
Again an excellent tour with Finn, an Irishman living in Berlin. His knowledge was excellent and the fact that he wasn't even Jewish made no difference to the knowledge he imparted. Again we had very hot weather which did put an extra strain on the group. However as we were a small group there was a good feeling amongst us all.
A great tour.. Even though the weather was real bad!
Walking in the rain wasn't so bad given the great tour

India feels existing norms for immunity of state correspondence will apply to cyberspace
India is quietly working at ensuring that long-standing international norms governing the immunity of diplomatic correspondence also guide state behaviour in cyberspace following revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden about the United States intercepting diplomatic e-mails of several countries including the Indian mission in Washington.
Upset as other countries are by revelations that the U.S. has been subjecting their diplomatic premises to electronic snooping, India has held its fire in public. But internally, the government feels the existing body of international law must be extended to ensure that diplomatic missions are free from interception of privileged electronic communications.
The government has revisited the ubiquitous Vienna Convention and the lesser-known Tallinn Manual of the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and feels the application of norms derived from existing international laws is an essential measure to decrease the risks to international peace and security due to unlawful snooping of diplomatic e-mails.
For the moment, the U.S. has tried to ensure that the controversy will be kept out of this year's session of the U.N. General Assembly by the simple method of setting up a committee.
Nevertheless, the problem is not going to go away. Indian officials note that when the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations is read with the International Court of Justice's Tehran Hostages judgement, it is amply clear that protection applies to diplomatic archives at any time and wherever they might be.
Though the subject needs greater study and consultation, Indian officials feel states cannot get away from their international obligation of ensuring there is no breaking of what they call diplomatic e-immunity. They agree with cyber law experts such as Jovan Kurbalija that digital assets enjoy the same diplomatic protection as their physical ones and that there is no need for new rules to govern cyberspace.
With this view, the officials feel the Vienna Convention's Articles 24 (the host country must protect the mission from intrusion or damage and never search the premises, nor seize its documents or property) and 27 (host country must permit and protect free communication between the diplomats at the mission and their home country; a diplomatic bag must never be opened even on suspicion of abuse; a diplomatic courier must never be arrested or detained) could be extended to ensuring e-immunity.
The issue of interception of diplomatic e-mails is going to remain even though some states might seek to score points against the U.S. on the Snowden affair in case a debate ever takes place during the forthcoming U.N. General Assembly. This is because as countries start looking for cheaper storage space in cloud computing, there will be an increase in vulnerability of diplomatic communications as compared to in-house servers, which are becoming more expensive by the day.
Diplomats here find the Tallinn Manual more contemporary as its recommendations have come in the context of earlier instances of cyber warfare such as the cyber attack of unknown origin against Estonia in 2007, Georgia in 2008 and the now-famous Israeli-American attack on Iranian centrifuges in an operation codenamed Olympic Games. Although the manual has been framed by a select group of countries, officials here agree with its recommendation that diplomatic archives and communications are protected from cyber operations at all times.
Some officials, however, point out that this is just the beginning. A long road lies ahead, especially on the question of the host government's obligation to ensure e-immunity in an environment where private companies could also be involved in breaching such norms. In that case, diplomats might have to use a special identification which companies and states would have to respect. A second option is for the global community wait for the first case on the issue — most probably based on Snowden's revelations at the International Court of Justice — and the verdict that comes out of it.
Keywords: cyberspace, Vienna Convention, Tallinn Manual, NSA leaks, Edward snowden, US snooping, Indian missions, diplomatic e-mails, e-immunity

#9 posted 05-08-2011 06:11 AM |
Hey, Brantley You didn't say what your fence is made of… whether treated or redwood, etc. If it's treated, my advice is do nothing for 6 months. Let it dry out. Yes, you can Thompsons or other like that, but it will require application more often (at least every two years). The translucent pigmented stains have less solids than the opaques, but I have used both with good results. However, if you really want a solid color fence you can get many years out of, prime first with an exterior oil-based primer. It dries really fast and can easily be sprayed, rolled or brushed depending on your circumstances. Then, paint the finish coat with a high quality gloss exterior acrylic enamel. We use the Sherwin Williams Super Paint with great results. It's higher priced, but has a lifetime warranty (materials only) and it covers in one coat really really well. I'm sure Porter, Ben Moore, Behr , ICI Dulux (Glidden) and some of the others have some good product, but I can only recommend what i know has worked for us on houses, trim, decks, railing, fences, sheds, etc. If you stay on top of it (check annually) and do paint a finish coat when it needs it in 10 or 15 years (instead of letting it go and letting the finish fail and damage the wood before you do anything) you will have a perpetually good looking fence. Most exterior rot and repair is a result of poor inspection and maintenance. DG -- If you're going to stir the pot, think BIG spoon or SMALL boat paddle. David Grimes, Georgia |
#10 posted 05-08-2011 09:41 PM |
all exterior wood products need to be maintained 1 or 2 years depending on conditions. stain is easier to reapply, paint next and varnish a real PIA. i prefer a quality primer and then a quality paint. primer makes all the difference. don't fall for the behr 2/1 it is junk. -- I cut it 3 times and it was still too short?!? |

I want to say David is on top of this deal about timing. I usually tell people you should always paint a home before you think it needs it. You will never be sorry. |

I agree with the above statement about going to the paint store vs local big box store. Sherwin Williams makes a great stain for decks and fences called DeckScapes. It's a little on the expensive side, and is opaque but is well worth it. They also make some great stains that will be more clear. It is best to look for something with UV protection. Just know that whatever you use, nothing lasts forever. Keep the sprinklers off the fence and it will last much longer. -- Sam |

David…the lumber is PT pine. The pickets are dog eared fencing from HD. Pine as well. |

I went to HD and the Behr Weatherproofing stainable finish is 140 bucks for 5 gallons! Ive got a good bit of fence to treat , just wondering if there are any other quality products out there that may be a little cheaper? Has anybody used any products similar to the Behr Weatherproofing finish? Or the actual Behr product? My main thought or concern is even if i treat the fence every few years how long can i expect the fence to hold up? Im hoping 20+ years,,, is that a stretch? |

Brantley please stop wasting time at HD or lowes Go to Sherman William or Benjamin Moore and ask there. |

Exploring around Phoenix
Trip Start
Oct 26, 2011
Trip End
Oct 30, 2011
Where I stayed
What I did
Cave Creek, Arizona State, Old Town Scottsdale
. Next we headed into the capital building. We spent awhile looking around then got directions to Papago park where hole in the rock is. We walked around, Miles tried a little climbing and we sat in the opening of the hole. Then we walked over by a pond where a guy caught a blue catfish. Next we decided to drive around Arizona State Campus. We parked on campus, walked around, went inside the union to see the Pat Tillman Center. We drove past the football and basketball stadiums. Then we started north to Scottsdale. We got to Main Street. In one direction it was the art district where literally every shop was a fancy art gallery. In the other direction was the Old Town. Here were the tourist type stores. Next we did a few geocaches to kill time before getting to eat at Some Burros which we had a groupon deal for. We had to use the coupon after 5:00. It was like the Fazoli's of Mexican Food. It was kinda fast food, but really good, with large portions. After that we went back to the resort and got in the hot tub. The water was SOOO hot that we didn't stay in long and went back to watch the World Series. The Cardinals kept being down, but they finally won 10-9 in 11 innings. It got over at 10:00 Arizona time which means it was 1:00am for people in Indiana. It as very exciting and it meant there would be a Game 7.
Because of the time difference we were up pretty early. We layed around for awhile but before 7:00 we were off on an adventure. First we drove to Cave Creek. It was like an old west town, but unfortunately it wasn't open yet. Next we tried to go to Black Mountain Summit but we could not find access to the trailhead. Each spot that we thought was right ended with a gate. Then we triend to go to Cave Butte Recreation Area. However, it was blocked by a gate as well. There was a sign about the area being closed because of air quality. Next, we went to a park called Buffalo Ridge. The frisbee golf course was very challenging with lots of uphills followed by downhills. It was very rocky, desert like, but also had some plants like cactus, mesquite, etc. After that we drove down to the capital area. We got lunch at a little sub shop. We both got the roast beef special. Next we parked at Bolin Park. There are lots of memorials including the anchor from the USS Arizona. There are two total and the other one is at Pearl Harbor. The mast from the ship is also in the park

We have transitioned Ask Trevor into a broader, more effective resource for LGBTQ young people and their allies.
Please check out our new FAQ page here: http://TrevorSupportCenter.org
My crush (who happens to be my close friend)
I am in love with my friend, who happens to be a girl. She touches me more than she touches anyone else, when we argue my friend tells me she misses me, and she always tries to feed me because she says I'm too skinny and I never eat the garbage that they pass off for cafeteria food. I don't have any LGBTQ friends to discuss this with. I love her. I love her smile and the way her eyes sparkle when she's happy. How can love be wrong? Sometimes I feel God gave me the wrong end of the stick, like I was set to go to hell. Am I? What if she doesn't like me? And if she does, how do I tell my parents I'm dating her?
Thank you for writing and being willing to share your questions and concerns. Matters of the heart can be challenging, especially if you feel like you don't have a friend to talk to and work through the emotions with. In this situation there are a few points to consider.
First, what you are feeling is normal and there is nothing wrong with the love you have in your heart. Everyone has a point in life where they develop feelings for someone close to them and find it very scary to share those feelings with the person close to them. Regardless of your sexual orientation telling someone you have feelings from them takes a lot of strength. If you feel you are ready it might be the time to talk with your friend about your feelings, but only if you feel you are ready. It's important to be honest and share with your friend the parts of your relationship you value (IE: the care she shows you, her smile, etc). Then ask your friend how she feels about you. Your friend may have the same feelings and then you can figure out where the relationship will go from there. If your friend doesn't share your feelings, let her know that is ok and that you still value the friendship and want to continue being her friend. It may take some time for the friendship to return to where it was but as long as you and your friend are both willing the friendship will recover even if your friend does not have the same feelings. The important part here is to be honest with yourself and your feelings and give your friend space and time to respond to your sharing of your emotions. And if your friend does not share your emotions take heart that you still have a great friend and still have the opportunity to find your match.
Second, when it comes to religion and the LGBTQ community perspectives differ greatly between denominations. In short, you are not set to go to hell. It sounds like you have a strong faith and if you are feeling your current denomination is teaching a perspective that is leaving you feeling alone, it might be beneficial to begin looking into another denomination. There are several denominations that teach love and care for all people and it might be time for some exploration of some of those denominations. Understand that faith is a very personal thing and only you can truly decide what is best for your spiritual grow, but know that you are not set to go to hell and God did not give you the wrong end of the stick.
Third, coming out to parents (or any individual) is extremely hard and should only been done when you are ready. You know your parents and have grown up with them so you probably have an idea of what the best way to approach them with this topic would be. The biggest point is to make sure that you are ready to come out, if you don't feel you are ready then wait until you do. Take time to think of some of the questions your parents may ask and what your answers are. If you have close friends or maybe a school counselor you can talk to ask if that person will let you practice on them. The practice could help you solidify your answers and give you confidence. Also, make sure you are prepared if you don't receive a positive response. Sometimes a parent's initial response can be one of anger or frustration. Make sure you have some where to go if your parents' response is leaves you in a situation where you need to give your parents space and time. With this, make sure that you are aware of your own safety. If you are currently living with your parents and you think this news will result in them asking you to leave the house you shouldn't go further unless you are certain you have a safe place to stay. Basically, when it comes to family, come out on your own terms and in your own time, prepare for the potential results, and only come out if you are sure you can maintain your safety.
I hope this gives you some support and perspective for the many questions you are facing. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and I wish you the best of luck as you proceed. In closing, know that you are not alone and that there are many people here to help you. If you ever feel alone our unsafe please do not hesitate to call the Trevor Lifeline to talk to someone who can help.
Best wishes

Partner Energy
Under Oncor's Commercial Energy Audit Program (CEAP), Partner will assess a facility's energy performance and identify cost-effective energy efficiency improvements, according to Liou.
"An energy audit is a hands-on assessment of a building's energy usage, its energy using equipment, and building conditions that may cause excessive energy consumption,"
"While the ultimate goal is to reduce energy consumption, an energy audit also can help building owners increase asset value through reduced operating costs and increased revenue," added Liou.
Governmental, educational, worship, non-profit buildings served by an Oncor meter as well as commercial office buildings with a peak demand less than 250kW are eligible to participate in the no-cost audit program. For non-qualifying commercial buildings, Oncor, which is the largest regulated electric delivery business in Texas, provides a 50 percent cost-share incentive.
Building owners can apply to participate in Oncor's CEAP program by downloading an application at http://www.takealoadofftexas.com/
