Fox News' Erick Erickson, a terrible pundit who is often hilariously wrong, has figured out what's wrong with America. The problem, Erickson wrote on RedState.com, is that there is "a massive disconnect between the chattering classes and politicos of Washington and New York and the rest of America," as evidenced by "the price of a gallon of milk and loaf of bread that keep [sic] going up though Ben Bernanke tells them there is no inflation."
Erickson, of course, is very much a member of the "chattering class" he disdains, though he'd have us believe that being paid to natter about politics on cable news has not frayed his connection to the people. Paul Krugman, however, fisked Erickson's "gallon of milk" punditry on his New York Times blog and pointed out that, contrary to Erickson's hoi polloi divinations of soaring inflation, prices for milk and bread haven't really budged. But Erickson is unmoved, allowing that he is wrong on the facts but insisting that it's more important to cater to the misperception of rising milk and bread prices than to actually be correct.
In an email to Politico's Dylan Byers, Erickson said as much:
Not everything is academic or chartable and sometimes the accuracy of the chart isn't as real to people as the perception they have that their grocery store bills are getting more expensive though their shopping habits haven't changed.
Seriously, Paul's point is correct, but it is an issue of perception of people versus the reality of his chart. He can certainly go tell people milk prices haven't gone up, but good luck getting them to believe him.
The facts say one thing, but the perception is otherwise, and since Erickson prefers the perception to the reality, he'll disregard the facts.
Did I mention Erickson works for Fox News?
As of this writing, there is no indication that the IRS's inappropriate targeting of conservative political groups has any connection whatsoever to the White House. And some conservative talking heads are even acknowledging as much. But they're not letting that stop them from naming Barack Obama as the culpable party, arguing that the president is responsible due to his preternatural ability to bend the average bureaucrat to his maleficent will from afar.
It all started with RedState founder Erick Erickson, who wrote on May 15 that "Barack Obama never specifically asked that tea party groups and conservatives be targeted." But...
But by both his language and the "always campaigning" attitude of his White House, he certainly sent clear signals to Democrats with the power and ability to fight conservatives to engage as they could. Given his rhetoric against his political opponents, it is no wonder sympathetic Democrats in the Internal Revenue Service harassed and stymied conservative groups and, though little mentioned, pro-Israel Jewish groups and evangelical groups.
"President Obama did not have to tell the IRS specifically to harass conservative, evangelical, and Jewish groups who might oppose him," Erickson observed. "His rhetoric on the campaign trail and in the permanent campaign of the White House operations made clear what he wanted."
Right-wing media are trying to downplay a confrontation over gun sale background checks between a woman who lost her mother in the Newtown, CT, shooting and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) by promoting a report from an Ayotte donor whose wife is the former chair of the New Hampshire GOP.
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung, asked Ayotte during an April 30 town hall meeting in Warren, New Hampshire, "why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't more important" than Ayotte's claim that conducting background checks would be burdensome for gun store owners. According to NBC News, the meeting "drew more than 100 people who came to condemn or support Ayotte's vote."
Reacting to news reports of the confrontation between Lafferty and Ayotte, Shawn Millerick, editor of the conservative New Hampshire Journal, complained of "liberal media bias" and wrote that reports of Ayotte being confronted over her failure to support expanded background checks were exaggerated by the national media. Millerick also posted photographs of cars with out-of-state license plates that he says belonged to the individuals who opposed Ayotte's background check vote.
Breitbart.com, The Daily Caller, The Blaze, RedState and NewsBusters are all promoting Millerick's report as evidence that the media was dishonest in its coverage of Ayotte's town hall meeting while also characterizing Millerick's online newspaper as a "local" media source and not mentioning its partisan slant. According to Breitbart.com's John Nolte, Millerick's report "expose[d] the leftist national media for the liars they are." The Daily Caller's Alex Pappas framed the issue as a discrepancy between "local" and "national" media:
Conservatives in media gloated and launched political attacks in reaction to a coalition of largely Senate Republicans blocking a package of stronger gun laws, including compromise legislation on expanded background checks for gun sales -- a legislative proposal supported by roughly 90 percent of Americans.
Before, during, and after President Obama delivered a speech from the Rose Garden on April 17 vowing to continue the dialogue on gun laws, conservatives in media offered triumphal comments and launched vicious attacks on advocates for gun violence prevention, including family members of Newtown victims and former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a 2011 mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona.
As Politico noted, conservative bloggers "claimed victory ... saying that their ideology and principles were the keys to their success." The right-wing reaction, however, went beyond basic policy arguments:
In an op-ed for The Washington Times, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro opined that family members of Newtown victims -- many of whom advocated for the passage of stronger gun laws -- did not deserve to be heard because of his apparent belief that background checks infringe on the Second Amendment. Shapiro previously accused Obama of attempting to implement socialism in a piece for The New American, the magazine publication of the far-right John Birch Society. From Shapiro's April 18 op-ed:
I don't believe the families of the victims from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., deserve a vote.
It may sound harsh and uncaring, but even the greatest tragedies are not a valid reason to disregard the Supreme Court and the Constitution of the United States. If they were, our free speech and our rights against unreasonable search and seizure and against self-incrimination would have all been abolished long ago amid every crime wave in American history.
Five years ago, the Supreme Court settled the issue of the Second Amendment in District of Columbia v. Heller, making it clear that guns in "common use" were constitutionally protected. Nevertheless, President Obama recently flew several family members of Sandy Hook victims to Washington on Air Force One to pressure congressional legislators to enact new gun laws.
Right-wing media are encouraging Republican senators to filibuster gun violence prevention legislation, continuing a long history of trying to influence GOP politics through recommended obstructionism.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson hyped the claim that legalizing same-sex marriage would pave the way for same-sex incestuous marriages, claiming that "many, many, many" marriage equality supporters will support incest and polygamy once "they can shift public opinion further."
In an April 5 blog post on RedState, Erickson echoed controversial comments made by actor Jeremy Irons, who criticized marriage equality by suggesting fathers would marry their sons in order to avoid paying estate taxes. Erickson agreed, arguing that "there is little moral difference" between loving, committed gay couples and incestuous relationships:
Seriously. Why not incest.
If love and commitment are the justification for marriage, why exempt this?
So why not fathers marrying sons and moms marrying daughters? Is it because of the "ick" factor? Why should that preclude it?
If life comes down to who you love and who loves you back, if a father and son love each other so much they want to get married, there is little moral difference between two people of the same sex getting married who are not related and want to be and two people of the same sex who already are related becoming closer.
The truth is, many, many, many of the same people who are now in support of gay marriage, but would oppose this or polygamy will, once the next step is advanced, support these things too. They just have to lie about it for now until they can shift public opinion further.
Erickson's argument is riddled with the same flaws that have always plagued the conservative slippery slope argument against marriage equality.
1. It's Empirically False - In the states and countries that have legalized same-sex marriage, there's been no evidence of a rush to legalize or destigmatize incest. In fact, most of the states that allow for marriages between first cousins are conservative-leaning states with explicit bans on same-sex marriage.
2. Incest Causes Real Harm To Children - Unlike in the case of same-sex marriage, there are persuasive reasons for banning incestuous marriages. Romantic relationships between parents and their children are typically exploitative and psychologically damaging. As Slate's Dahlia Lithwick wrote:
The problem with the slippery slope argument is that it depends on inexact, and sometimes hysterical, comparisons. Most of us can agree, for instance, that all the shriekings about gay marriage opening the door to incest with children and pedophilia are inapposite. These things are illegal because they cause irreversible harms.
There are plenty of compelling arguments for opposing marriages between parents and their children. "Gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry, either!" isn't one of them.
President Obama's reelection has prompted more than a few conservative pundits and journalists to look inward and contemplate the weaknesses of the right-wing media model that obsesses over partisan minutia, eagerly chases phantom scandals, nosedives down ideological rabbit holes, and excludes dissenting voices. It's an interesting discussion, but it's hampered by the fact that the same people calling for change are themselves backsliding into the behaviors they want to correct.
Commentary editor and columnist John Podhoretz offers a pure distillation of this recidivist phenomenon. "Time To Get Serious," writes Podhoretz for the April issue of Commentary, arguing that after 6 years of treating Obama as alternately a "lightweight" political incompetent and a power-mad would-be dictator, and with nothing but two electoral drubbings to show for it, conservatives have to "come to grips" with Obama's political skill:
It's not just the comforting delusion that he's a golf-mad dilettante, but also the reverse-negative image of that delusion--that Obama is a not-so-secret Marxist Kenyan with dictatorial ambitions and a nearly limitless appetite for power. That caricature makes it far too easy for Obama to laugh off the legitimate criticisms of the kind of political leader he really is: a conventional post-1960s left-liberal with limited interest in the private sector and the gut sense that government must and should do more, whatever "more" might mean at any given moment.
Podhoretz's very next paragraph, however, shows that he's not quite ready to take his own advice, as he casts the Obama presidency as a vehicle for "disaster" at home and "nihilistic chaos" globally -- precisely the sort of extremist caricature he says isn't helpful for conservatives:
The notion that Obama is a dangerous extremist helps him, because it makes him seem reasonable and his critics foolish. It also helps those who peddle it, because it makes them notorious and helps them sell their wares. But it has done perhaps irreparable harm to the central conservative cause of the present moment -- making the case that Obama's social-democratic statism is setting the United States on a course for disaster and that his anti-exceptionalist foreign policy is setting the world on a course for nihilistic chaos. Those are serious arguments, befitting a serious antagonist. They may not sell gold coins as quickly and as well as excessive alarmism, but they have the inestimable advantage of being true.
Daniel Larison of the American Conservative observes:
Of course, warning about global "nihilistic chaos" being unleashed by an "anti-exceptionalist foreign policy" is just another example of excessive alarmism that produces the same effects as the attacks Podhoretz wants conservatives to reject. No one outside the bubble of movement conservatives and hard-liners believes that Obama's foreign policy is "anti-exceptionalist" in any sense, much less in the tendentious way that it is being applied here.
Conservative media are in the middle of a concerted push to claim that a government report confirms their longstanding claim that the federal government wastes tax money on employees whose sole duty is "union work," but ignore key content of the report in question that undermines their misleading narrative.
Fox Business host Stuart Varney made that claim on the February 28 edition of Fox & Friends. But Varney's oversimplified version of the conservative case ignores the content of the report in question, and the more sophisticated version of the case made elsewhere falls apart under minimal scrutiny of the evidence these outlets offer.
During a discussion on federal expenditures for union activity, Varney said that the recipients "worked full-time on union business," and "did not work for the taxpayer." When host Steve Doocy noted that's not how private-sector unions tend to work, Varney replied "Well I don't want to be cynical, Steve, but you've never worked for the federal government, now have you?" Watch:
The report Varney cites from the Office of Personnel and Management directly contradicts his blanket assertion that this money goes to full-time union reps in the introduction. OPM explains that "voluntary membership in Federal sector unions results in considerable reliance by unions on the volunteer work of bargaining unit employees, rather than paid union business agents." In the next paragraph, OPM adds that these hours of pay go to "Federal employees performing representational work for a bargaining unit in lieu of their regularly assigned work. It allows unions to satisfy their duty of fair representation to members and non-members alike."
Varney's presentation of this misinformation on a flagship Fox News program may prove an inflection point for a piece of misinformation that's percolated through other, smaller conservative media outlets since the OPM report came out in mid-February. On February 19, Fox Nation hyped a Washington Post story that noted some of the contextual information OPM provided. That same day, a Washington Examiner editorial writer highlighted the report. RedState.com put its own write-up on the front page on February 21, beneath an image of brass knuckles atop a pile of cash. On the February 27 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox Business' Liz MacDonald made the same set of claims, and numerous other op-eds and blog posts from conservatives have accused the government of this same misspending of taxpayer dollars. Conservative gripes about "official time" expenditures are not new, however, as this 2011 Heritage Foundation testimony on the subject indicates.
Many of these other instances cite Freedom of Information Act requests by the conservative Americans for Limited Government to back their claims. According to ALGFOIAFiles.com, the group requested information from four departments on employees who perform "official time" labor representation work full-time. All four -- the Environmental Protection Agency, National Labor Relations Board, Small Business Administration, and the Department of Transportation -- responded between September and November of 2012. While conservatives like Trey Kovacs, a labor analyst for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, point to the EPA (which found 17 full-time union reps) and DOT (which found 38) responses as proof of a widespread "problem" whereby taxpayers fund work that does not benefit them, the reality of these four FOIA responses is not nearly so convenient for conservatives.
The data expose this claim for what it is: ideology masquerading as empiricism. As the table below shows, according to the most recent data available the four departments ALG successfully FOIA'd have as many as 0.19 percent of their employees doing union representation work full-time. And those employees do not account for all of the billed "official time" hours in any department, confirming that there are indeed many public servants (in the conservative sense of the phrase) who pitch in to bargaining and other representational efforts as needed.
Right-wing media have inconsistently responded to House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) failed attempt to pass his proposed "Plan B" to resolve the so-called "fiscal cliff" standoff, including praising conservative Republicans who opposed the measure, expressing regret that the measure didn't pass, questioning the viability of Boehner's speakership, and blaming President Obama for the plan's failure, despite Obama's concessions to the GOP.
Conservative media outlets pushed at least eleven misleading attacks on President Obama's energy policies that have become talking points used by Mitt Romney's campaign. The conservative media bubble has largely prevented voters from hearing the facts about clean energy programs, fossil fuel production and environmental regulation under the Obama administration.
Conservative media figures and outlets have sent out to their email lists numerous paid fundraising solicitations from "scam PACs" whose directors are apparently looking to cash in on the election season.
Politico reports today that a new "cottage industry" has sprung up during the presidential race in which vaguely-named super PACs have used major Republican national campaigns like Rep. Allen West's re-election bid in Florida to "raise money for themselves and build their email lists."
The groups have been sending out fundraising pitches promising to help West or defeat Obama in November, but "those chunks of $25 and $50 don't often find their way to any serious campaigns to beat Obama or boost West." The article quotes West's campaign attorney saying that the "vast majority of the groups that we know are engaged in this have done nothing for West."
As explained by Politico, "political operatives can create a PAC and corresponding website on the cheap, drop some cash to rent an email list and, voilà-- in come the small-dollar contributions from grass-roots Republicans."
Conservative outlets like RedState and Townhall and media figures like Dick Morris and Mike Huckabee have been enabling these so-called "scam PACs" by renting out their email lists for these fundraising pitches.
After Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she's responsible for State Department personnel, right-wing media quickly claimed that President Obama was dodging responsibility for the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. But Clinton was actually pointing out that the State Department, not the White House, is responsible for diplomatic security while Obama has said that he is ultimately responsible for national security.
Usually Erick Erickson does you the courtesy of getting past the headline before lying, but now that we're less than a month from Election Day he's apparently decided to dispense with pleasantries.
"I Donated to Barack Obama," declares the headline to Erickson's latest blog post, wherein the CNN contributor documents his attempt to demonstrate that President Obama's campaign is committing some sort of fraud through an "illegal donor loophole" that allows them to accept contributions from overseas (a right-wing meme that's actually a bit of warmed-over nonsense from 2008). Not until the 13th paragraph do we learn that Erickson, after attempting to donate to Obama as a Russian with a made-up passport number, actually had his contribution rejected by the campaign.
So he didn't donate to Barack Obama. Nor did he document any evidence of fraud (in fact he demonstrated that the campaign's anti-fraud measures are working, as he would have known had he read the Obama campaign's statement after John Hinderaker tried this same exact stunt in April). But he had to write something, right? He went to all that effort. Just for us.
Right-wing media expressed outrage over the Obama campaign's use of flag imagery in a campaign poster. But this is not unique to the Obama campaign: a modified American flag was used as a banner for Abraham Lincoln's 1860 presidential campaign.
CNN contributor Erick Erickson allowed himself a little unhinged McCarthyite rambling this evening, writing at RedState.com: "In a statement right out of a communist state, the Democrats started their convention with a bit of propaganda declaring we all belong to the government." MARXISM! declared Erickson: "We are Americans. We are not all wards or property of the state, despite Barack Obama's best efforts."
Fortunately for the rest of us, the Democrats didn't say that.
Erickson either misunderstood or, more likely, deliberately mischaracterized a snippet from a video aired during the Democratic National Convention. In that video, the narrator says: "We are committed to all people, we do believe you can use government in a good way. Government's the only thing that we all belong to. We have different churches, different clubs, but we're together as a part of our city or our county or our state. And our nation."
It was a kind of clunky way of saying that government is the only thing in which we all have a stake at some level, not an assertion of state control over the individual. (I suspect if the Democrats were going to announce that the role of government is ownership of its citizens, they wouldn't do it over b-roll of kids riding bikes around fountains.)
But Erickson wants you to believe that "belongs to" is synonymous with "owns," which is untrue and frankly absurd when you factor in the context and common sense.

Keeping Your Food Fresher for Longer
A++ Energy Rated Freestanding Premium Steel Combi Fridge Freezer
- Even Cooling for longer Freshness
- Total No Frost for Ultimate Freshness
- Peace of Mind thanks to Smart Diagnosis
Good storage Likes: fairly good storage in fridge, lovely deep draws in the freezer section. Keeps good temperature. Doors easy to maneuver. easy to move. Niggles: Vegetable/fruit box too small, meat/fish box too large. Lighting not good, at front of fridge so unable to see at the back of the fridge 18 January 2015
A Good All Round Fridge/Freezer A well built product that looks good and performs well. The fridge is spacious and the airflow refrigeration keeps everything equally cool. The salad drawer certainly does as advertised and the door shelves will comfortably take 2 x 6 pint milk bottles. The LED light does indeed illuminate the whole fridge. The freezer has 3 deep drawers - plenty of space for us. The only downside is that the drawers don't open as widely as we'd like which requires us to take the drawer out on occasion. Not a big deal as they are easily taken out and put back. Overall it is quiet, easy to use, and frost free. Looks good too! 02 January 2015

Words could not express the feeling you get when you are down on one knee, opening that little box and you see the look on her face as she sees the ring. And you know that it is just perfect - the moment and the ring, and you sigh a sigh of relief... I knew I needed to choose something extraordinary for my sweetheart, and with the help of James Allen customer support I chose this ring with a 1.03 carat round pink sapphire, and pave rings along the setting. It looks amazing and she loves it. Thank you, James Allen.

I`ve never seen a ring that`s so cool and unique. I`m a jewelry designer so I have very high standards and when I got this ring, I told my fiance he totally "got me" with it. The design is totally cool and my taste, and I know it will be a classic for years to come.

In Illinois, college can be a legislative favor
The tuition perk comes with one rule: Lawmakers are supposed to award the waivers to students who live in their districts. But that rule is often broken.
Last year, a federal grand jury subpoenaed documents related to waivers awarded by Robert Molaro, a Democratic lawmaker who's now a lobbyist. The $94,000 in waivers he gave went to the children of a Molaro supporter who may not have lived in the district.
And the State Board of Education contacted the FBI when it noticed that five apparently unrelated scholarship recipients had all listed the same address - the home of a campaign aide to Democratic Sen. Martin Sandoval of Cicero.
The latest example is the news that state Sen. Annazette Collins, a Chicago Democrat, granted free tuition to five students who mysteriously listed their address as an old Collins family home, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Scholarship supporters like Davis reject the idea of addressing abuses by letting the State Board of Education decide who gets the tuition waivers in each legislator's district.
"I don't trust them that much. I don't think they'd choose many black kids," Davis said.
This year Republicans have increased the political pressure on the program. All Republicans in the Senate and most in the House have stopped awarding scholarships.
Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said Tuesday the issue will get a Senate vote "some time." He supports keeping the program but with restrictions, such as a ban on giving them to children of campaign donors.
Crespo said keeping the program just perpetuates Illinois' reputation for corruption and favoritism.
"If someone votes against this bill, they're enabling unethical behavior. It's as simple as that," Crespo said.

There are countless new products to inform you about, but here are our first ten. For our part 1, we will taking a look at products from Seagate, Zalman, Gateway, OCZ, Zalman and more.
Tagan has becoming well known for their power supplies over the past few months, but they have a few extra product lines as well including cases, unique keyboards and enclosures. We are not sure of the model, but the center case is the one that really caught our eye. Like Silverstones TJ07, this cases main panel is one piece, so no hard edges. It's also made of aluminum and proved to be quite strong. Other bonuses include the sheer size… this thing is massive. Their case line is called A+ and from what we've seen, they may be worthy of paying attention to.
Although it seems kind of simple, WidgetStation is another product that drew us in. It's a small device that can sit on your desk and display widgets. As I said.. simple. These do not inter operate with widgets in Windows Vista, but there will be a large selection to choose from. If you are a developer and know HTML and Javascript, you can even code your own. What I liked about the product the most is the display.. incredibly sharp. This is one toy that would look great on any desk. Sadly, I was unable to find out an SRP.
It's not a surprise that newer PC systems require big power supplies. While 400W a few years ago offered a lot of headroom, newer high-end systems shouldn't be run on anything less than 1000W. So what's next? 2000W, that's what. A few companies have 2KW supplies announced, but the one that stood out the most was OCZs since it's completely external. Along with that fact, it's huge.
Seriously huge, but great looking at the same time. Is 2000W overkill? Of course it is. All four of the PC's in my room no doubt don't even touch 1200W combined at full load, let alone a single rig. As far as I am aware, a single wall socket is not even able to handle more than ~1500W, so how does this power supply do it? You guessed it right. This supply requires two power cords to be plugged in, on -different- circuit breakers.
I'm a camera geek, so I was excited to see a lot of new innovations regarding this market. Since my Nikon D80 uses SD cards, I am always waiting for something bigger to come out. Do I need something bigger? That's not the point! Patriot had a brand new 16GB SDHC Class 6 card on display, which is simply incredible. Toshiba and Ultra have 8GB SDHC cards, but Patriot took it a step further. I will have to admit, I wasn't even sure 16GB would be possible so soon, since SDHC technology only arose recently.
Of course, there are two negatives to this card, but the positive is obvious. First, this is an SDHC card, and thanks to the higher density it will result in a slower write speed. But, it's a Class 6 card which is the highest SDHC standard available, which equates to 6MB/s. Another downside is the price I'm sure. I was not told an SRP, but current 16GB Compact Flash cards range in the $1,000 range, so we'll have to wait and see if this SD will be just as high.

As an aside to the thread, I think this is mostly a myth. Some parts may be a little more expensive, but not ridiculously. Maybe 10%, in my experience. Compare a discount Yanmar dealer to a full price Volvo dealer and the spread may widen, but vice versa and it may go away entirely. I buy all parts for my 100hp Volvo over the internet from a US supplier and they arrive within 2 days. Never a problem sourcing a part.
The only meaningful difference is that you are unlikely to find a supply of Volvo oil filters, or other consumables, at the local chandlery, like you might find for Yanmars.

Are you a history buff? Do you enjoy beautiful, vast landscapes? Then Virginia is the place to go. With a coast along Chesapeake Bay and located close to Washington, D.C., Virginia is definitely worth a visit.
Today the capital of beautiful Virginia, Richmond was once the capital of the Confederacy. Among its most visited sights are the Old City Hall and the White House of the Confederacy, which also serves as a museum today.
Also popular are the John Marshall House, the State Capitol, and the Richmond National Battlefield Park, which gives visitors the opportunity to learn more about the Civil War battles in and around Richmond. The best way to explore the battle fields is to start at the visitor center, located at the Tredegar Iron Works, which was the Confederacy's largest iron factory. From the visitor center follow the driving tour, which connects all the major battle fields.
Richmond also offers a fantastic park system. Definitely plan to stop at Monroe Park and the two islands in the James River: Belle Island and Brown's Island. And take a stroll along the streets of Richmond, many of which are line by amazing mansions.
Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown
Virginia's capital in the 18th century, Williamsburg is famous for its historic district, Colonial Williamsburg. Restored to much of its original self, Colonial Williamsburg is a tourist magnet. People in costumes reenact and interpret daily colonial life. The most famous buildings are the Old Capitol Building, the Governor's Palace, Robertson's Windmill, and Raleigh Tavern.
Close by is Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the United States. Today, visitors can see the ruins of the original colony as well as Jamestown Settlement, a recreation of the original settlement. As in Williamsburg, interpreters in costumes take the visitor back in time.
Just fifteen miles away, Yorktown offers the Colonial National Historical Park, which offers battlefield tours of the battle of the American Revolutionary War that ended in the surrender of the British forces.
More Historical Landmarks
Charlottesville is the hometown of Thomas Jefferson and one of its most famous tourist attractions is Monticello, Jefferson's home. He started building the estate in 1768/69 and it took him forty years to complete it. Today tours of the house as well as the grounds are offered to visitors.
Appomattox Court House
Appomattox Court House National Historical Park is another site that has seen its share of important historical events. It was here where the Confederate Army surrendered to the Union, which effectively ended the American Civil War.

Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention: a Winning 3D Hit
Inaugural event unites the best of the adult industry in a three day virtual expo.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) March 03, 2012
Adult entertainment embraced its technological side this past weekend as the industry was showcased in its first ever convention held strictly in the Virtual World.
The Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention (AEVC) was hosted by RedLightCenter.com, a virtual world developed by industry leader Utherverse, and sponsored by XBIZ, CamContacts, Vstroker, YNOT, LokiCash, Sexxxtons.com, Melonson Adult Productions, Girlfriend Films and PornStarTweet.
The show brought a worldwide audience of industry professionals, fans and business owners together; and featured seminars, speaker panels, business-to-business networking along with exhibitors showcasing their products via virtual booths. The convention also tickled fan curiosity with adult star meet-and-greets and live cam sessions. It was topped off with an exciting Virtual Awards Show that bestowed winners in various categories of both real and virtual realms.
"With the success of this convention, and the valuable experience gained from its execution, we plan to continue to take the model of virtual conventions and virtual awards ceremonies to the next level," says Utherverse Chief Business Development Officer, Anna Lee. "We promise that next year will be even bigger, better and more finely tuned than this one."
The acceptance for the concept of an all-virtual convention was marked by the 8000 recorded attendees, all of whom logged in online to pass through the virtual doors over the span of the three-day event. The adult entertainment industry has always been a pioneer of technology, so it may not be long before we see more other kinds of businesses experimenting with conventions on a virtual platform.
"We will continue to develop virtual presences for all of our exhibitors, speakers and sponsors," Lee added, "so that they may continue to experience the benefits of utilizing the virtual world platform as an enhancement to their current business and marketing efforts."
The Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards Show, hosted by Vancouver comedian Patrick Maliha and internet sensation Samantha Mack, had both real world categories such "Male/ Female Porn Star of the Year" as well as ones that showcased the best of RedLightCenter.com´s virtual platform, such as "Best Adult Themed Virtual World". Winners were chosen by panel which included a mix of both organizers and sponsors.
Winners of the Virtual Awards are listed as follows:
"Best Sex Toy/Pleasure Product or Company of the Year" — VStroker
"Best Affiliate Program of the Year" — DatingGold
"Best Adult Site of the Year" — Kink.com
"Best Pornstar Site of the Year" — JoannaAngel.com
"Best Verified Working Guy of the Year" — Eros_
"Male Porn Star of the Year" — Manual Ferrara
"Best Verified Working Girl of the Year" — SaphyreRose
"Female Porn Star of the Year" — Kayden Kross
"Best Adult Film" — Fighters, Digital Playground
"Best Adult Themed Virtual World" — Gangbangs R Us
"Porn Studio of the Year" — Evil Angel
The full list of categories and winners can be found at AEVC´s website: http://www.adultvirtualconvention.com/awards

Hello dear Neowinians!
I need help with upgradring the RAM on my Dell Laptop. It's a E4300. I think it's a GS45 Express Chipset.
I am in the choice of either getting a used Thinkpad X200s or similar, but so until I get it I thought upgrading the RAM to 8 GB and then moving it and a SSD to the eventual "new" computer.
The problem:
I have changed the 2+2 GB ram that the laptop had to a single 4 GB Corsair Value RAM 1333MHz 1,5v module. Now I bought a second, exactly the same module (I also have a 2 x 8 GB 1600 MHz modules that didn't work, got to know the hard way the the Intel controller didn't take over 4+4 GB). But the computer won't boot.
I really need som advice as I have not 5 modules that don't seem to work together. Which RAM modules does this computer otherwise take? Or have I done some fault in the BIOS settings?
As a comparison, I have put 16 GB in a cheap AMD Thinkpad and it runs without any problems. I am good a stationary big computers, but laptops is clearly not my area of expertise.
Kind Regards
Regert, Sweden.
Best Answer Geoffrey B. , 17 August 2014 - 18:40
The Current BIOS version for you laptop is A23
you can find the latest BIOS version HERE
Also I have noticed with a few Dell laptop models that even though the laptop supports a certain amount of ram sometimes you have to lower the voltage or speed for it to actually work. For instance with the Latitude E5510 it says you can use 1666hz but you can only use 1333hz if you want to use more than 4GB of ram on the laptop. as well as dropping from 1.5v to 1.3v for the memory modules as well.

First time here. Come by car with my 10 months old twins and wife. Luckyly upgraded to superior suite, I enjoyed the space I needed to place the babies beds. (-) The bed in the bed room is not very comfortable as it is short and warm. The sofa-bed is much better. (-) Reception bar is too often closed. I should not be requested to walk 200m to reach the pool bar (+) all equipments (dish-washer, microwave and washing machine) are of good quality (+) nice view over the lake (room 186) and spacious terrace (+) parking just outside the resort is easy to find (+) Fitlane gym chain has two sites close to the resort and there is a nice jogging path

Premesso che io ed il mio compagno siamo una coppia molto esigente ed abituata a viaggiare in strutture di prima categoria, il giudizio sul MMV RESORT è ottimo. La permanenza durata 15 giorni mi ha permesso di valutarne tutti gli aspetti e devo dire che la struttura (nuova e funzionale oltre che con ottimo panorama su un lago artificiale), i servizi presenti (ristorante, piscina, personale multilingue, parcheggio coperto) e l'ubicazione sono ottimi (a 10 minuti da Cannes e in luogo tranquillo ma animato e ben servito). Ogni suite/appartamento è dotata di lavatrice, lavastoviglie, ferro da stiro, aspirapolvere, microonde, lettore dvd, robot per cucina, ampio terrazzo. Inoltre il cambio asciugamani e la pulizia dell'appartamento sono stati eseguiti ogni giorno, e non come accade in molti residence una volta la settimana dietro pagamento di supplemento.Forse l'unico lato negativo è che nelle vicinanze della piscina del residence si trova un aeroporto turistico e probabilmente gli appartamenti situati in zona piscina non sono silenziosi quanto quello dove ho soggiornato, che era nel corpo principale della struttura. Giudizio complessivo veramente positivo.

Would be a good idea to rent a car, as getting to and from airport from MMV costs around the same for a car for the day, also Cannes is a good 20 Euro taxi fare away. There is a nearby train station at Mondelieu La Napoule however be prepared to walk 15- 20 mins to get there (nice walk tho) and fares are very cheap (4EU return to Cannes). Resort is lovely, very well maintained plenty of facilities, spotless and bar the air traffic in the middle of the day, very peacefull. I reccomend the Superior Suite well worth the extra cash

Yosemite Gateway Town Not Happy With Proposed Fee Bump
Much of the media attention on fee creep in national parks seems to be flowing out of California these days. Whether it's the result of a focused media or an outraged citizenry I don't know, but there's been a lot of media attention on plans by Yosemite officials to bump their daily entrance fee up from $20 to $25 beginning in January.
The latest story of unhappiness over the fee creep comes from the Fresno Bee, which sent a reporter to Mariposa to talk to locals who make their living off park visitors.
...at the Mariposa Gem and Mineral Club, Jan Martin says she's "spitting mad at fee increases that are only going to hurt people who are lucky to get one day off."
"We're paying taxes to keep the bugger open," says Martin, 67, while she strings gem earrings. "If we're already paying taxes, how is it fair to also keep raising fees?"
You can read the rest of the story here.

I'm with you, SurvivorGirl...I've never seen Paradise Hotel either, but I am loving these colors. But I have a confession. I thought I'd be one of the old farts about it, and although I'd appreciate the hard work, I'd stick with the old color scheme. I was showing my daughter all the fun stuff tonight, though, and as I was scrolling through all of them, I realized I was hooked. I'm giving Paradise Hotel a try, and then over the next few days, I'll sample the others. Thanks everyone for making FoRT even more fun. I didn't think it was possible.
Awesome!! These are so great! Thanks all...
I'm using Paradise right now....I can almost hear the waves hitting the beach!
I like "Trump", Paradise" and a couple of the others. But, it seems the original color scheme is easiest on my eyes, so I guess I'll stick with it for now at least.
I have found the Truth and it doesn't make sense.

Castro says 'nothing to worry' on injured foot; Ailing De Ocampo hopeful to play
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines — There were anxious moments Friday night when national team key cogs Ranidel De Ocampo and Jayson Castro tweaked their ankles during the Philippines' 92-89 win over Kazakhstan in their exhibition match.
Seemingly every Filipino watching the tight game held their breaths when Castro, who unleashed 20 points against the Kazakhs, fell down hard and grimaced in pain while holding on to his foot with 1:36 left in the game.
But the guard quickly allayed any fears, especially that the Fiba Asia Championships is just a few days away.
"Nothing to worry naman. Alam mo naman ako pag-pag lang, okay na. Basta nandyan na, laro lang ng laro," Castro told reporters after the game.
The same cannot be said for De Ocampo, though, as the veteran forward gingerly walked out of the dugout with his right ankle heavily wrapped.
"Yung point guard nila, sumabit paa ko sa paa nya tapos kumapit sa sapatos ko. Kaya lang hindi ko hiniga, nilaban ko kaya masakit," De Ocampo, who only played limited minutes, said.
When asked of his initial assessment of the sprain, De Ocampo could not give a confident answer.
"Hindi ko pa masabi kung malala eh. Namamaga pa kasi ngayon eh," he said. They will have the ankle checked on Saturday.
De Ocampo is just hopeful that, after all the time the team spent away from family and all the hard work just to get ready, he'll be able to suit up for the real battle.
"Malungkot ako siyempre [yun una pumasok sa isip ko]," De Ocampo said. "Kasi ang tagal mo pinaghandaan tapos ganun. So sana gumaling naman agad."

Book three of The Hunter Files
Why kill the survivors of a sinking ship?
A speeding boat rams a life raft, leaving no survivors. A man embroiled in an investigation of potential suicide bombers disappears
Retired inspector Charlie Hunter's belief that the two events are related leads him to accept a job working a charter between England and France. The only way to find out the truth is to be the man on the inside.
But Charlie's life is at risk on the rough Channel. All is not as it seems on the shifting seas, and some players are holding secrets that will change the game and the sunken life raft is the key.
Go back to the beginning with Unfinished Business, available now!
87,000 words
The sea lapped against the boat's hull as though it were almost too much effort. I leaned on the guardrail and breathed deeply, filling my lungs with moist, tangy air. The surreal post-dawn tranquillity seeped into my bones, heightening my appreciation for the simple things in life. I gazed at the sea, a dozen different shades of turquoise reflected in its torpid surface, thinking about all the stuff I'd learned—or rather hadn't—during my trip to France.
The shrill urgency of a Mayday call crackled loud and intrusive across the airwaves, abruptly shattering my mellow mood. I scurried back to the wheelhouse to establish the precise nature of the emergency, not unduly worried because I doubted there actually was one.
"Some idiot's probably run out of fuel," I muttered, glancing at the flat, calm sea.
As it transpired, I couldn't have been more wrong.
"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is the motor vessel Mistral, a 62-foot Azimut, current position "
The caller reeled off his compass location. I checked the coordinates against my GPS and identified the boat in question as the closer of the two vessels I had visual contact with about five miles off my starboard bow. Their location explained why I'd been able to pick up their transmission so clearly. An adrenalin rush flooded my veins.
"We're bound for Dover, but have an uncontainable fire in our engine room."
Fire! My core temperature dropped several degrees. Boats might be surrounded by water, but fire was still one of the most feared shipboard catastrophes. A lot of craft had automatic fire extinguishers in their engine rooms for precisely that reason. If the vessel in trouble was fitted out with the appropriate fire-fighting gear, they obviously weren't using it. I pondered on that and missed some of the vital details that were supposed to be included in an emergency broadcast—such as how many people were on board, and whether anyone had incurred life-threatening injuries.
But then again, perhaps I hadn't. As an ex-copper, I'm used to listening to panicked accounts from victims of accidents or violent crimes. I'd developed a sort of sixth sense over the years for separating vital information from all the garbled excess. I was pretty sure Mistral hadn't broadcast that information, which didn't altogether surprise me. It's all very well practising these things, but when it's for real it's a different story. Thankfully I'd never been in that situation so I wouldn't know. Still, faced with the prospect of abandoning ship and bobbing about in a flimsy life raft, at the mercy of whatever the elements decided to throw at you until help arrived, following correct procedures probably didn't seem all that vital.
I reached for the microphone attached to my shipboard radio, and depressed the transmit button.
"Mistral, this is the motor trawler No Comment," I said calmly. "I'm five miles off your port bow. How serious is your situation? Over."
"Critical, we can't contain the fire."
I didn't waste time asking about fire extinguishers. If they had them, presumably they'd be using them. Trailing the long microphone cord behind me, I grabbed my binoculars and went out to the Portuguese bridge to better assess the situation. The enclosed walkway around my wheelhouse enabled me to step outside and still be protected from the elements.

Three days of classroom sessions with youngsters about product knowledge, easy quick recipes and some gyaan and tips on cooking demos took me to the cities of Delhi and Bengaluru. To be honest, I am not a buffet kinda guy for various reasons so I normally end up ordering from the a la carte menu. But for a change this buffet or boozy winey brunch menu at a trendy new hotel offered some great Italian and Spanish fare. Buffets have gone to another level now. They are no longer the run-of-the mill type with white tables and food lying in a chafing dish, saying nothing to you. Now it's all about interactive, live, freshly-made and artisinal fare. Great displays, props, cast iron, crock pots, large, modern (sometimes freaky-shaped) platters, slate, stone, marble and mirror. Some really great salads using fresh local artichokes, homemade pickles, relishes, smoked treats and a fab gravity slicer on display where a chef is actually slicing that smoked piece of parma ham or spicy salami for you. Impressive cheese boards, condiments, nuts, and pickles galore. I love the way that hotels are gearing up all the time - well atleast the good ones - and offering live stations of not just pasta and pizza but even a Peking duck oven with the full nine yards, ramen and noodle stations and a live bakery. There is no limit!
I was very impressed in particular with the Ravioli bar. Three kinds of giant raviolis, spinach ricotta, beef cheeks and mushrooms tossed in any kind of sauce or butter. Fantastic! Frozen table tops to create your own ice cream and toppings. At minus 32 where the chef is playing with two spatulas and creating a trippy ice cream for you.
A filter Kappi bar, live souffle station... it does not end here. A new posh hotel in Gurgaon is using LED lights to create a mood blew my mind away .
Freshly prepared right there, I gorged on a bowl of ramen with pork belly, morning glory and some wicked noodles. Top quality and value for money. Have a great weekend. Bon appetit!

By Daniela Desantis and Hilary Burke
ASUNCION (Reuters) - Millionaire businessman Horacio Cartes of Paraguay's powerful Colorado Party was seen winning Sunday's presidential election by a wide margin, according to exit polls.
Cartes, 56, is a political novice who never even voted before joining the center-right Colorado Party four years ago. He has vowed to reform his party, which was tainted by corruption during its 60-year reign through 2008.
His main rival is Efrain Alegre, 50, a lawyer and career politician in the ruling center-right Liberal Party, which took over the presidency after withdrawing support for President Fernando Lugo and clearing the way for his impeachment in June.
Congress ousted Lugo, a leftist and former Roman Catholic bishop, after finding him guilty of mishandling a botched land eviction in which 17 police officers and peasant farmers were killed. Some of Paraguay's neighbors likened the two-day trial to a coup and imposed diplomatic sanctions on the South American nation.
On Sunday, an exit poll by First Analisis y Estudios showed Cartes winning with 50.8 percent of votes versus 37 percent for Alegre. Pollster Ati Snead's survey indicated Cartes had won 44.4 percent of votes and Alegre 37.9 percent.
A third exit poll showed Cartes with a nearly 21 percentage point lead over Alegre at 53.5 percent of votes, according to the Institute for Communication and Art.
"I think the new government's priority has to be education and also the economy ... and they should steal less," Marcela, a 30-year-old teacher who declined to give a last name, said after voting in an upper-middle class section of the capital, Asuncion.
Nearly 40 percent of Paraguay's 6.6 million people are poor. The landlocked country relies on soybean and beef exports, but it is also notorious for contraband trade and illicit financing.
One of Paraguay's wealthiest men, Cartes primarily made his fortune in the financial and tobacco industries. Rivals have tried to link him to drug running and money laundering, but he has never been charged with those crimes.
"The accusations made during this campaign have no truth to them, and personally I am very serene," the typically brash and outspoken Cartes told reporters early on Sunday.
Alegre, a more somber politician, led corruption probes in Congress. But his reputation as an honest administrator was undermined by an investigation into whether he misappropriated state funds while serving as Lugo's public works minister.
"My leadership model is different from the traditional one. My project represents a 'decent Paraguay' versus the 'Paraguay of the mafias,'" Alegre told Reuters in a recent interview.
Polls were open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (1100 to 2000 GMT) and international observers said they had received no fraud complaints by midday.
There is no second round of balloting so the presidential candidate who captures the most votes wins. Voters also elected local authorities and members of Congress.
Paraguay's current president, Federico Franco, is barred by the constitution from running for re-election even though he is just serving out what remained of Lugo's five-year term. He will hand over the presidency in August.
If Cartes' victory is confirmed, Paraguay will have a right-leaning government, bucking the trend in South America where leftists have made steady gains in recent years. Only Colombia and Chile are ruled by conservatives.

Member since January 1, 2010
Right now, I'm reading:
All of your sixes and the cards on the free, on-line poker table.
My favorite story of all time is:
any number of Dr. Seuss or Richard Scarry stories
In bed I like to read:
the colors behind my eyelids to look for shapes and plot out a dream adventure to carry me away
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
a pace a snail would laugh at. somewhere along the line I forgot how to read.
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
the inability to turn an idea into a reality
What six words would I tell my teen self if I could go back in time?
ask her out. pursue any dream.
The song that encapsulates the soundtrack of my life is?
The Pretender by Jackson Browne
If I could have one person read my writing on SMITH it would be?
my father to my mother over coffee on the back porch (that was choking me up as I thought of it)
