westsail 32, that bad?
i have narrowed my choices a lot and i've come back to where I started, I love the westsail. I am speaking from a asthetic point of view and a personal love of teh look, and interior feel.
however, as I searched threads everyone seems to more or less advise against.
Personally i like the pacific seacrafts in teh 30 foot range better, but they are much more expensive from what i've seen.
So whats the truth about westsail, that bad, will it truly be a huge mistake to purchase one?
I know they are slow, but are they really THAT slow?
I'm trying to stay away from owner finished boats, i realize that craftsmanship will vary.
i'd love ot hear from experiences from some true westsail owners!
This boat will be lived aboard for a year or two and eventually taken all over the globe

The Photo Cookbook
By ditter.projektagentur GmbH
Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
The Photo Cookbook is like a private cooking course in your own kitchen with an experienced cook, who clarifies the preparation. Beautiful photography illustrates every step.
Every recipe starts with a photograph of all the ingredients. This is more than just a pretty picture or – even less helpful – a montage that is not to scale, so that a chili appears to be the same size as a whole fish. Instead, it serves as a handy way of checking that you have everything ready before you start cooking.
Each short and straightforward step is clearly explained without any jargon or difficult technical terms. What you see in the photograph is what you should expect to see in front of you. Not only is this reassuring for the novice cook, those with more experience will find it a helpful reminder of the little touches that can easily be overlooked. Each recipe ends with a lovely photograph of the finished dish, complete with any serving suggestions.
The app includes 240 recipes, divided into four topics: "Quick & Easy", "Italian", "Asian" and "Baking" (60 recipes each).
- 240 recipes in four topics
- over 2,000 high-resolution photographs
- all recipes are easy to prepare
- all recipes displayed in professional step-by-step photographs
- search function for ingredients and recipes
- ingredient lists can be emailed
- ingredients provided with consumer information (retrieved with a click on the relevant ingredient)
The contents of this app can also be found in a book series by Parragon Books.
What's New in Version 2.1.1
Fixes a drawing problem in the recipe overview.
Customer Reviews
I've purchased ipad and iphone versions of all your products and have loved them. Really these things have really helped me learn to cook. For some reason though the pictures on the computer app on the home screen or whatever of the app has no pictures/recipe thumbnails so I'm completely unable to choose a recipe or browse properly. I understand this is probably a weird glitch. Please get it sorted out soon. Then I'll definitely give it a 5 star rating.
Also there should really be an option for unit conversion. If I'm working with cups and teaspoons I'd really rather not be given instructions using ounces and all that. Thanks.
Great for those who love to explore new recipes!
I am always looking for new recipes to try and this cookbook is perfect! The recipes are a step above the normal betty crocker recipes. Also, the photos are superb and look stunning. It breaks down the recipe into great steps and gives you information about the ingredientes when you click on them in the ingredient list photo. The program opens fast and looks great. It is so worth the $16.
Disapointed cook book
I was disappointed in this Apps i was hoping to add my own recipe with my photos that would help new cooks like me remember the easy steps.

On Monday, Weaver will be facing a Reds team that features Joey Votto and Jay Bruce and expectations to which the Angels can relate.
In the Register's baseball preview section Friday, I picked Cincinnati to reach the 2013 World Series, ensuring that the Reds will miss the playoffs and, quite possibly, be kicked out of the league a second time.
"The day before and the night before, the butterflies will be flying," Weaver predicted. "I look forward to feeling that again. I look forward to the nerves and trying to get over them."
As the end of this column approaches, it's time to mention Weaver's contract – the five-year, $85 million extension he signed in August 2011, the deal he eagerly took despite being in a position to demand so much more.
This Weaver fact simply cannot be referenced enough, especially with Detroit's Justin Verlander just agreeing to a record $180 million deal that includes a vesting option that could push the value over $200 million.
If Verlander doesn't break the $200 million threshold, the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw might when he signs his new contract during the next nine months.
With the Mariners, Vargas had the opportunity to watch another big-ticket pitcher in Felix Hernandez (seven years, $175 million). He sees traits that are as similar as the paychecks of Weaver and Hernandez are different.
"Their ability to win, regardless of the situation, regardless of the game," Vargas said. "There's no game too big. There's no game too small. Every pitch, they're right there in it. There's no break in focus. That's why they give those guys awards."
In that Friday preview section, I picked Weaver to win the American League Cy Young Award. So, when he doesn't, you'll know who to blame.
Sorry about that, folks. Just trying to do my best, honest. It's just that I don't have a lot of faith in my guessability.

By Johnny Jackson
Hampton resident, Tommy Lambert, has made marked progress in his new profession as a head-lice technician.
"We've successfully treated over 500," said Lambert, who recently opened a lice-treatment facility in Roswell, Ga.
Lambert began treating for lice, in his home in 2009, when he and his wife, Heather, discovered their children had lice. He said their daughter, then 12, had a recurrence of the infestation; their son, then 9, had his first bout with head lice. Both were treated using standard chemical treatments from the store.
"The second time around, when my daughter had it, it seemed like it would never go away," Lambert said. The difficulty in getting rid of his daughter's head lice prompted him to learn more about the tiny insects. Lambert said his newfound interest, coupled with the downturn in the economy, spurred him to pursue head-lice treatment as a possible business for himself and his family.
He said he was laid off in March 2009, as an operations dispatcher with Landstar Logistics, Inc. In June 2009, he began a lice-removal business out of his Hampton home. He calls it Headhunters L.R.S., or Headhunters Lice Removal Service. "I still wasn't ... able to find a job," he said. "So, I kind of found something to do."
He believes there is a niche for head-lice-treatment services, particularly with parents who want the work done properly in the first round of treatment. He said parents had been limited to drug-store products providing novice chemical treatments.
On Aug. 9, he and his wife opened a head-lice-treatment facility in north metro Atlanta, in Roswell Professional Park, at 11205 Alpharetta Highway, Suite E-3, Roswell, Ga.
Lambert was trained and certified as a head-lice technician through the non-profit Lice Solutions Resource Network (L.S.R.N.), Inc., based in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"Head lice is a predominately annoying issue," said Katie Shepherd, executive director of L.S.R.N. "But it can cause secondary infections, and it spreads very quickly through contact. I always say it's like lining up the dominos and hitting the first one."
Shepherd trained Lambert in a method of treatment, the Shepherd Method, which utilizes a strand-by-strand combing process to remove lice, and nits in conjunction with a non-toxic enzyme.
"People get fixated on the mega house cleaning, but the house isn't the problem. The head is the source of the problem," Shepherd added. "[Treatment] is important, because 95 percent of the mothers that try to self-treat don't get all of it. We always say its better to get it right the first time."
Lambert said he has been able to build his small business quickly over the past year, through word of mouth, and making home visits throughout the metro Atlanta area.
"We do treatments and evaluations," he said. "There are many misconceptions about lice and the people who get them. Head lice is spread 95 percent of the time during head-to-head contact," he said. "If parents take a step back to see how children crowd around portable games, computers, or during play time, they will see how much head-to-head contact actually takes place."
An estimated 6 million to 12 million head-lice infestations occur each year in the United States among children, ages 3 to 11, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention.
The CDC web site states that head lice move by crawling, and are spread by direct contact with the hair of an infested person. Signs and symptoms of an infestation include: a tickling feeling of something moving in the hair, itching, irritability and difficulty sleeping, and sores on the head caused by scratching.
Lambert said he will continue to visit area homes, schools, and camps to conduct screenings, and treat children and adults with head lice. To learn more, visit the CDC web site at www.CDC.gov, or visit Headhunters L.R.S., at www.headhunterslice.com.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. 'Genesis' Part Two: Sonic's 20th Anniversary Celebration kicks into high gear as the most talked about Sonic story EVER continues! Sonic joins his new friends Sally, Boomer and Antoine as they brave the treacherous Labyrinth Zone! What perils await them in these dark waters? Even if they do track down this 'Dr. Robotnik,' are they up to the challenge of defeating him?!The freedom fighters find themselves in the labyrinth zone and feel that it seems familiar somehow. Sonic fools around a little and Sally says they need to hurry through and get to Eggman before another earthquake strikes. Sonic also asks Boomer how he knew how to get the robot from before to help them and said it seems to come naturally to him. Antoine helps Sally in traversing the area and Sonic gets jealous from the dialogue they exchange. They then reach an area filled with water and Sonic is reluctant to go into the water because he can't swim. Sally helps Sonic swim and Sonic thinks it's not as bad as he thought but then a group of orbinauts start attacking them. Sonic finds fighting them is hard under water but then notices a large crack and uses a spindash to break it, draining all the water and its contents. As the team is falling down a waterfall, Sonic and Sally jump over to a ledge, then they help Boomer as he jumps across, but they weren't able to save Antoine who seemingly falls down the waterfall to his death. As they make it to the Starlight Zone, Sonic feels bad for failing to save Antoine and Boomer but Sally don't seem to care much, making Sonic mad because he can't believe how unconcerned they are that their friend just died. However, Sally says that for some reason she refuses to believe that he died and they note how everything continues to seem familiar to them and Sally says they should fight their way to Eggman for Antoine. They manage to get past all the obstacles and badniks in the zone and get to the Scrap Brain Zone. While Sonic jokes about the name of the zone, Sally finds that the place seems to quiet when they all of a sudden find traps everywhere. Sonic is struck by an electric trap and Boomer gets caught in a trap door but Sally grabs him. Unfortunately, she finds he is too heavy but then Sonic recovers and helps Boomer while stating he won't let what happened to Antoine happen to him. As they search for Eggman, a force field appears around Sonic and they see Eggman inside of a tube. Sonic dodges all of Eggman's attacks but finds himself at a dead end. Eggman is then about to finish him when the hydraulics pipe dumps a lot of water and Antoine into the tube Eggman is in. Sonic rejoices that Antoine is alive and while Eggman is distracted by his sudden appearance, Sonic destroys the tube he's in. Sally and Boomer arrive and Eggman tries to sneak away through some other tubes but Sonic spots him trying to escape and chases after him and although Eggman makes it to his eggmobile, Sonic strikes it causing it to fall down a deep chasm. The Freedom fighters celebrate thinking Eggman's gone, but just like how Sally felt Antoine couldn't have died earlier, Sonic has the same feeling about Eggman and thinks they will see him again.

Thank you for your input. I do like the idea of stacking the trays. I had thought of if at the beginning but I figured it had a major drawback as I hadn't seen them mentioned anywhere, even by those with small/cramped darkrooms. If everything goes well, I will start and finish the darkroom this coming weekend. I already upgraded the fan to a quiet, high efficiency unit, the only drawback is I won't be able to install a secondary fan for positive pressure in the darkroom---hopefully dust won't become an issue. I also have the hardware to get the water from the tub's spout. I also have a couple of rolls that I already developed, ready to start playing!
The cross contamination makes sense. I thought the amount of developer in the wash(with continuous flow) would be so minimal as to not be an issue. I'll look for a way to test for that.

The reason use the washer as a "stop bath" is because of room, I don't have much flat surface area to put all the trays(in the sizes I would like).
The washer would be running anyways since I will need to wash the prints. I actually got a very nice assortment of trays with the purchase of the washer so I will be able to use the appropriate size to minimize chemical waste. As far as the developer tray placement, it was put there just for the benefit of showing an image---a picture is truly worth a thousand words!
I just don't have the room to have a separate tray for the washer's overflow.

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way – for free! – and while financing your higher education solely from scholarships is an amazing feat, there is a factor to consider: scholarship displacement.
If you don't know what scholarship displacement is, you're not alone. Believe it or not, winning a scholarship may not be the end-all be-all when it comes to paying for school because they can complicate the financial aid package offered by your intended university. Why? When a student wins a scholarship, the college may reduce the student's need-based financial aid package to compensate. For example, say a university offers a student a $15,000 grant and an additional $15,000 loan to cover the cost of attending. If the student were then to win a scholarship for $15,000, the college could retract its $15,000 grant. Colleges call this an over-award and the scholarship providers call it displacement.
Although this may seem discouraging, it shouldn't dissuade you from applying to scholarships altogether. Instead, do your homework, speak with your admissions counselor and know where your intended college stands when it comes to their scholarship policies. If you're brining a lot of scholarship dollars to the table, you have options. Every college is different and has their own guidelines when it comes to outside scholarships. If one university doesn't allow you to put those scholarship dollars to other costs – loans, books, room and board, etc. – enroll at one that does. You could also enlist the help of the scholarship sponsor: Some scholarship providers may have a lot of clout with the college, especially if their scholars make up millions of dollars of funding to the college.
If you have any additional questions about scholarship displacement, don't hesitate to ask us!

James "Rhio" O'Connor was a remarkable man. He was diagnosed with a deadly cancer (mesothelioma) and given a year to live. Instead of giving up he found his own path to health and outlived his prognosis by more than six years. This path to health included creating his own treatment protocol which consisted of: vitamins, minerals, vegetables and fruits components, essential fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes, herbs, a healthy (primarily vegetarian) diet and mind-body medicine. This protocol along with Rhio's optimistic spirit, belief in something greater than himself, and the ability to make tough choices helped him beat his prognosis and live with a cancer considered "incurable" for many years.
Undergraduate students at colleges and universities in the United States are invited to honor Rhio's spirit of self-determination and intellectual curiosity by writing an essay about what they would do if they faced the same challenges that Rhio faced. For example, why are alternative therapies used by cancer patients when they are not FDA approved? Should cancer patients and doctors be able to use whatever treatments they like in treating cancer? Should medicinal medicine and folk knowledge have any relevancy in cancer? It is estimated that it costs over $400 million to bring a new cancer drug to market. Does that establish roadblocks for the testing and approval of alternative therapies?
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and currently enrolled in a U.S. college or university. High school students are ineligible unless they are 18 year of age or older and are also attending a college or university.

If you are a recent college graduate, those student loans you haven't thought about in four or more years are about to come calling...and collecting. While some students' debt tallies are quite large, the amounts owed by others are much more manageable.
U.S. News & World Report has reported that the average amount of student loan debt (defined as money loaned to students from colleges, financial institutions and the government, not including parent loans) for a 2010 college graduate was about $25,000 but this number truly varies depending on what school a student calls his or her alma mater: For example, 2010 graduates of Alice Lloyd College have an average total indebtedness of only $3,108 and those from Princeton owe just $4,385, due in large part to more grants, scholarships and work study that do not require repayment. Here are all of the schools that made the top 10 and the average amount of student loan debt 2010 graduates incurred:
Does this information have you reevaluating your college plans or financial aid choices?

It is not altogether clear how much Feldman finally contributed to the TAL. He stressed that work on the draft constitution involved a number of individuals, many of them Iraqi, including Faisal Istrabadi, an adviser to onetime Governing Council member Adnan Pachachi; Adel Abdul Mahdi, now Iraq'sfinance minister; and Salem Chalabi, a nephew of Ahmad Chalabi and now in charge of Saddam Hussein's trial.
At the same time, Feldman expresses particular satisfaction with the work, pointing for example to an article that delineates the relationship between Islam, conceived as "a" source of legislation and the official religion of the state, and democracy.
"I was trying to influence the issue I cared most about. This document would have to fully acknowledge the role of Islam and its compatibility with democracy," he said. "This was a new idea to the CPA people. Most had the idea that any democracy had to be secular. I'm proud of that provision. It's totally original language. I hope that will be the lasting legacy of that document."
Feldman said he went to Baghdad to serve not just Americans, but Iraqis as well. If in doing so he became a symbol of American paternalism, it may not have been entirely his fault. By the time the TAL was signed in March, the occupation was criticized by a large majority of Iraqis, its motives seen as mostly predatory. The members of the Governing Council, who signed the interim constitution, were regarded as American puppets. Iraqis, unsurprisingly, wanted their country backand without laws that prejudiced their future.
"The real issue is, if Iraqis were given a free choice, what kind of commitments would they make?" asks Abou El Fadl. "I have a lot of friends from Saddam's time who hated his guts. It would have been a wonderful experience to work with them to shape something that is authentically Iraqi and an example to others."

For years I discussed with companies how to mask personally identifiable information (PII) from audio recordings. It had become quite trivial to build and manage systems to prevent and detect call center abuse for text-based systems. Working with audio security was an interesting challenge and quite a bit more fun than the usual job of masking, replacing or encrypting data.
And yet despite the readiness of tools to prevent theft we still see in the news major disasters. I believe this not to be any failure of technology but rather a higher-level management issue: like quality engineering can't really be blamed on tools as much as attention to details.
Take for example AT&T just has been fined by the FCC $25m for three breaches
In May 2014, the Enforcement Bureau launched its investigation into a 168-day data breach that took place at an AT&T call center in Mexico between November 2013 and April 2014. During this period, three call center employees were paid by third parties to obtain customer information — specifically, names and at least the last four digits of customers' Social Security numbers — that could then be used to submit online requests for cellular handset unlock codes. The three call center employees accessed more than 68,000 accounts without customer authorization, which they then provided to third parties who used that information to submit 290,803 handset unlock requests through AT&T's online customer unlock request portal.
One attack would be a problem. Three impostors are a sign of something far more troubling; management is not detecting or preventing active infiltration designed to bypass internal controls and steal valuable data. Organized crime still shows success at either coercing staff or implanting attackers in call centers to leak PII for financial gain. And if three impostors aren't bad enough, the FCC goes on to document another forty individuals found stealing PII.
Kudos to the FCC for their investigation and subsequent action. I believe it is right for them to emphasize a top-level management approach as a solution.
The people who were caught in the act of stealing (the impostors themselves) will likely go to jail (as was also found in the recent Bechtel executive fraud case). New oversight needs to be forced by regulators at top-levels of company management so they pay better attention to impostors and other attackers stealing PII.
…AT&T will be required to improve its privacy and data security practices by appointing a senior compliance manager who is a certified privacy professional, conducting a privacy risk assessment, implementing an information security program, preparing an appropriate compliance manual, and regularly training employees on the company's privacy policies and the applicable privacy legal authorities. AT&T will file regular compliance reports with the FCC.

The Bombay High Court on Monday said that the practice of deploying two police personnel outside restaurants and bars is not in public interest. The court was hearing a bunch of petitions filed by restaurant and bar owners from Thane opposing the move of police deployment. The move, according to the police, is to ensure that waitresses are not employed beyond the specified time.
A division bench of Justice NH Patil and Justice Anuja Prabhudesai said: "Let us all be rational, if you post two policemen outside 36 restaurants, then you are losing 72 policemen. They can be deployed at railway and bus stations or can crack some criminal cases which are on the rise."
The bench was surprised with the police move. It said: "This move is sheer waste of time and talent of policemen. They should be imaginative and should not be made to sit under a tree doing nothing."
A total of 36 petitions were filed in the high court by the restaurant and bar owners. One of them is Barkur Shetty, who owns Prakash Hindu Hotel (Rukhmini Palace) in Thane. Shetty claimed that policemen have been deployed outside his business premises since November 2013.
Appearing for the petitioners, advocate Veena Thadani argued: "Their presence creates fear in our patrons and affects our business." She also argued that the policemen sit from 1pm to 1am.
"This is not a police state that such impositions should be allowed," she said.
Public prosecutor SK Shinde opposed the plea and said: "We have come across untoward incidents and the practice is adopted in public interest. There has to be some regulation."
However, the court said, "Surprise checks can be allowed after 9.30pm and that will be in public interest. However, these are merely administrative duties and it can be resolved amicably."
The court has now directed the police to file their reply within two weeks and adjourned the hearing till then.

MUMBAI: South Korean firm Hyundai Heavy Industries on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra Government for setting up a construction equipment plant in the state.
Hyundai would invest about Rs 260 crore in the proposed plant at Chakan near Pune. The MoU was signed by Maharashtra's Principal Secretary (Industries) V K Jairath and Hyundai Chief Operating Officer K H Park in the presence of Industries Minister Ashok Chavan here.
Hyundai would make hydraulic excavators in the Chakan plant and the production would begin in two years, Park said at a press meet after the signing ceremony.
Domestic demand in 2006-07 for hydraulic excavators stood at 7,000, according to Hyundai. The demand is expected to touch 30,000 units by 2015, Park said.
Besides excavators, the company would look at making other equipment as and when demand rises, he added.
Chavan said increasingly Korean companies were looking at investing in Maharashtra. Hyundai is the 46th Korean company to enter India's most industrialised state.
Two-way trade between India and Korea in 2006 touched USD 9.2 billion from USD 2.6 billion in 2002.
The Maharashtra government has identified the Hyundai Chakan plant as a "mega project". The Maharashtra government bought in the concept of mega projects in 2005.
In the last 18 months when mega project initiative was announced, the state has attracted 55 projects with Rs 48,000 crore-investment, Jairath said, adding the government looks at three criteria before giving such a status to a project.

Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs security interests in transactions secured by personal property, is currently undergoing its first revision since 1998. The 2010 Amendments to Article 9 (the "2010 Amendments"), which are the result of a joint effort by the Uniform Law Commission and the American Law Institute, were drafted to address filing issues and other matters that have arisen since the substantial overhaul of Article 9 in 1998. The following is a summary of a few of the key provisions of the 2010 Amendments.
1. Individual Debtor's Name -
Perhaps the most important change brought about by the 2010 Amendments relates to the method of identifying an individual debtor's name on a UCC financing statement. Pursuant to the pre 2010 Amendments version of Section 9-503(a), a financing statement sufficiently identifies an individual debtor's name if it provides the "individual" name of the debtor.

Back in 1991, Democrat Edwin Edwards defeated former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard turned Republican gubernatorial candidate David Duke for governor of Louisiana. Edwards famously joked that "the only similarity between me and Duke is that we're both wizards under the sheets."
Two decades later, the sheets and hoods may be optional, but for many in today's GOP the good guys still wear white. Republican 2016 White House hopeful Rand Paul is just the latest example. This week, Americans learned that the foe of the 1964 Civil Rights Act employs a neo-Confederate staffer who, among other things, praised the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. As it turns out, Paul's self-proclaimed "Southern Avenger" Jack Hunter has plenty of company when it comes to trafficking in casual racism and antebellum nostalgia. One hundred and fifty years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the whitewashing of slavery, the resurrection of the "Lost Cause," the championing of states' rights and the endorsement of nullification and secession are sadly all too common in the Party of Lincoln.
Consider, for example, the example of Virginia Republicans. While Democratic state senator and civil rights leader Henry Marsh was attending President Obama's second inauguration in Washington, Republicans last month voted for an unprecedented redistricting of their state. But the indignity hardly ended there. As Kevin Drum reported on January 21:
But wait! That's not all. The deed was done on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and at the end of the session Republicans adjourned in memory of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson, whose birthday is today.That GOP attempted coup died when soon-to-be ex-Republican Governor and former 2016 White House wannabe Bob McDonnell signaled he would not sign the redistricting bill. But in April 2010, Governor McDonnell did sign a proclamation recognizing Confederate History Month and the South's "four year war...for independence." Within days, however, McDonnell was forced to apologize after it was revealed that his proclamation did not recognize the existence slavery. (The next month, Texas conservatives approved an overhaul of the state's textbooks which would remove the word "slave" from the term "slave trade.")
For then Mississippi Governor and former RNC chairman Haley Barbour, McDonnell's supposed oversight was nothing to get exercised about. As he explained:
"To me it's a sort of feeling that it's just a nit. That it is not significant. It's trying to make a big deal out of something that doesn't matter for diddly."Of course, the preservation of white supremacy mattered a great deal to the Council of Conservative Citizens, the successor to the dreaded White Citizens' Councils of Jim Crow days. Which is why Barbour, who campaigned for governor wearing a lapel pin of the state's Confederate flag he vowed to maintain, was a fixture at the CCC's events.
Barbour's fellow Mississippi Republican, Trent Lott, similarly extended a hand to the CCC. The former Senate Majority Leader and later Minority Whip (you can't make this stuff up) was a speaker in 1992 at an event of the Council of Conservative Citizens. Among its offerings in seething racial hatred is a "Wanted" poster of Abraham Lincoln. Lott's also offered his rebel yell in the virulently neo-Confederate Southern Partisan, where in 1984 he called the Civil War "the war of aggression." That was years before he lauded the legendary racist and 1948 Dixiecrat presidential candidate, Strom Thurmond:
"I want to say this about my state: when Strom Thurmond ran for President, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."As it turns out, Lott's path was also traveled by former Missouri Senator and Bush Attorney General, John Ashcroft. Ashcroft granted a long interview with the Southern Partisan, in which he stated:
"Your magazine helps set the record straight. You've got a heritage of doing that, of defending Southern patriots like [Robert E.] Lee, [Stonewall] Jackson and [Jefferson] Davis. Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more. We've all got to stand up and speak in this respect or else we'll be taught that these people were giving their lives, subscribing their sacred fortunes and their honor to some perverted agenda."And for many of today's Republicans, the real perverted agenda is the province of Democrats, and includes health care reform, women's reproductive rights and gun-control among its Yankee sins.
Take, for example, Georgia Congressman and Senate candidate Paul Broun. Broun, who last week boasted that he was the first member of Congress to brand Barack Obama a "Marxist-Leninist", had a different warning in 2010 about what would become the Affordable Care Act:
"If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that's in people's pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the War Between The States -- the Great War of Yankee Aggression."As it turns out, Broun wasn't the first Republican to recall the Lost Cause in announcing his opposition to President Obama's policies. In February 2009, Missouri Republican Bryan Stevenson took exception to President Obama's support for the Freedom of Choice Act, legislation which sought to codify the reproductive rights protections of Roe v. Wade nationwide:
"What we are dealing with today is the greatest power grab by the federal government since the war of northern aggression."Of course, the next logical step for the neo-Confederates of the GOP was to threaten secession. And in April 2009, Texas Governor Rick Perry suggested to a furious Tea Party rally that the secession option should be on the table:
Perry told reporters following his speech that Texans might get so frustrated with the government they would want to secede from the union.To be sure, violating the oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States is an odd definition of patriotism. Sadly for Perry and the GOP secessionists, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia crushed their hopes:
"There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that."
"If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede."But even short of secession, the Party of Lincoln seems determined to unlearn another lesson of the Civil War by championing state nullification of federal laws. Suggesting that South Carolina's effort to nullify federal tariffs starting in 1828 was a blessing, Obamacare foes began claiming state sovereignty trumps the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The new "Tentherism" was embodied by Minnesota State Senator Tom Emmer, the Republicans' ultimately unsuccessful choice to succeed Governor Tim Pawlenty. As TPM recounted:
He has even proposed a state constitutional amendment that would allow federal laws to operate in Minnesota only if they were consented to by super-majorities of the state legislature.Now, GOP legislatures are turning to nullification in response to the modest package of gun violence reforms proposed by President Obama. Despite near-universal condemnation from legal scholars calling their proposed state statutes "outrageously unenforceable" and "pure political theater," Republicans in Arizona and Texas are advocating for "gun secession bills" nullifying federal laws and making their enforcement within state lines a felony. Encouraged by Governor Phil Bryant, Mississippi Republican state Reps. Gary Chism and Jeff Smith filed (and then mercifully withdrew) a bill to form a "Joint Legislative Committee on the Neutralization of Federal Laws." The Mississippi Balance of Powers Act reads in part:
If the Mississippi State Legislature votes by simple majority to neutralize any federal statute, mandate or executive order on the grounds of its lack of proper constitutionality, then the state and its citizens shall not recognize or be obligated to live under the statute, mandate or executive order.(Just last week, Show Me State Governor Jay Nixon vetoed a Republican bill that would have made it a Missouri crime for federal agents to attempt to enforce federal gun laws in the state.)
As it turns out, gun control opponents have another argument. If only African-Americans had been armed, slavery would never have happened. As Gun Appreciation Day chairman Larry Ward explained:
"I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country's founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history."Indeed, a sad--the saddest--chapter. But apparently for those in the Republican Party still whistling Dixie, the old times there are not forgotten.

Product description
Marcus Aurelius (121180 AD) is one of the great figures of antiquity who still speaks to us today, more than two thousand years after his death. His Meditations has been compared by John Stuart Mill to the Sermon on the Mount. A guide to how we should live, it remains one of the most widely read books from the classical world. But Marcus Aurelius was much more than a philosopher. As emperor he stabilized the empire, issued numerous reform edicts, and defended the borders with success. His life itself represented the fulfillment of Platos famous dictum that mankind will prosper only when philosophers are rulers and rulers philosophers. Frank McLynns Marcus Aurelius, based on all available original sources, is the definitive and most vivid biography to date of this monumental historical figure.

Author information
Frank McLynn is the author of many critically acclaimed biographies, including "Richard & John" and "Napoleon." He has been a visiting professor at Strathclyde University and lives in England.
Review quote
"Publishers Weekly," 7/13/09 "[McLynn] argues that the emperor and Stoic philosopher satisfies a thirst for guidance that modern philosophers have largely abandoned." "Booklist," 9/1/09 "[An] extensive examination...McLynn's commitment to placing the reign in context...allows readers to learn why historians ancient and modern consider Marcus Aurelius' reign (161-80) the apex of the Roman Empire.""Tucson Citizen" "Shelf Life" blog, 8/15/09 "McLynn sheds new light on a great man whose writings still resonate, even after more than 1,800 years." PopMatters.com, 9/8 "[McLynn] is a thoughtful and provocative writer. His work is marked by its deft use of language and a strong authorial voice that seeks to engage readers and dissuade passivity. His style is pointed [and] personal...McLynn uses Marcus' life as a vehicle to illuminate the full breadth of Roman culture during this time...Marcus Aurelius: A Life provides readers a clear, immediate portal to the past, one that fully communicates the tone and tenor of the second century in a compelling, comprehensive narrative." "Augusta Metro Spirit," 9/9 "A riveting exploration of an extraordinary life...[An] historical page-turner...Aurelius comes back to life in the pages of McLynn's latest treasure...A wonderful journey into the historical record guided by a talented narrative voice." Bookviews.com, September issue "[McLynn's] skill is evident and the subject is worth visiting and knowing." Infodad.com, 9/3 "Frank McLynn's exhaustively researched biography of the emperor...places the emperor's work firmly in the context of the wars and political events of his time--and makes that very remote era come alive...The philosophical underpinnings of Marcus' thought are woven expertly by McLynn into the narrative of the Parthian and Germanic wars that dominated his reign...It is to McLynn's considerable credit that he pulls so many strands of Marcus' life and thinking

Whether stories are told on page or on screen, there is one rule that is universal: nothing matters quite as much as the ending.
Sure, first impressions are important, but the ending is, literally, the final word.
We have all read or watched that story, where we riveted until the very end, only to leave the movie theater or close the book with a feeling of immense disappointment.
We say things like, "What kind of ending was that?" or "It would've been better if…."
A bad ending is like opening a Christmas present only to find socks.
Orson Scott Card probably summarized this concept best when he said, "The opposite of the happy ending is actually the unsatisfying ending."
With the new year in mind, I can't help but look back at the past year and wonder exactly what kind of ending it had.
The past year came with its fair share of happy and sad moments … but the truly remarkable thing is that none of those was really an "ending."
In fact, I would argue that "endings" don't even really exist.
Many programs and websites feature a "Year in Review" before Dec. 31, as though the triumphs, tragedies, revelations, and losses of the past year will become nothing more than memories preserved in history books.
And though these top headlines may, in fact, be the ones that will be revisited on television, computer, radio, and print, I can't help but think the best moments, the ones that teach us the most, come from experiences much closer to home.
"Endings" happen all the time, not just when one year passes into another. I can think of several that happened throughout my life.
The first major "ending" that comes to mind is the final installment of the Harry Potter series. While the last book technically marked the end of Harry's adventures, it didn't really feel like the end until the final movie was released.
Advertised with the tagline "It all ends here," the movie's marketing was playing right to the hearts of the "Harry Potter generation," all of whom felt like they were coming to the last stop in a very, very long journey.
Going to a midnight release for the last time, dressed in a Gryffindor T-shirt, was both a saddening and exciting experience. And when it was over, it was simply that, over. There were no more movies, no more books, no more long hours discussing characters and plot.
And that, perhaps, is the hardest thing about endings. It is as though the universe has picked us up and plopped us in the middle of deep, deep mud. Try as we might, we are powerless to continue on.
That feeling is one that I, and I'm sure many others, have experienced again and again.
Graduating from high school came with the knowledge that those four years of relationships and classes would never be repeated.
And again, when I graduated from college, every memory of late night studying and good times with friends had become just those: memories.
That feeling resurfaces at the end of every vacation: Never again will I be this age, at this point in my life, taking a picture with Jasmine and Aladdin at Disney World; or gazing up at Mount Rushmore; or trying just-off-the-line Kisses at Hershey, Pa.
That feeling of "never again" is the very essence of every ending and the core of New Year's Eve as we say goodbye to one year and welcome the next.
What a sad thought … and yet, every New Year's Eve is a happy occasion.
We get together with family and friends, we dance, we kiss, and we watch the ball drop in Times Square.
It is remarkable that something that could be filled with such sadness, is, year after year, a moment of celebration.
And that is why I argue that there is truly no such thing as an ending.
As humans, we have the ability to do so many things, both good and bad. But above all, we have an enormous capacity for optimism.
We strive to find ways to continue; we pull ourselves out of the mud the universe seems determined to push us into.
In my life alone, I have seen that proven again and again: Harry Potter may be over, but there is still a theme park.
I stay in touch with high school friends on Facebook, and I still meet up with college friends every couple of months for game nights.
And with every vacation, I find myself reliving memories from past ones, even as new ones are created.
"Endings" exist only as much as we allow them to, which, I am glad to say, is very rarely.
As author Frank Herbert wrote, "There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story."

On December 14, 2011, CMS released the much-anticipated proposed rule implementing the "sunshine" provisions of Section 6002 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The proposed sunshine regulation requires certain manufactures of drugs, devices, and biologics to report to CMS information regarding payments and other transfers of value to covered physicians and teaching hospital. Transfers of value include gifts, consulting fees, research activities, speaking fees, meals and travel. In addition, the proposed regulation also would require certain manufactures and group purchasing organizations (GPOs) to report ownership interests in such organizations held by physicians. CMS would make the reported information available on a searchable, public website.
The proposed regulation seeks comments about a number of aspects of the reporting requirements. Comments must be submitted by February 17, 2012. CMS anticipates publishing the final rule in 2012...

In a match up of heavyweights in 2A soccer, Newton-Conover came up on the "short end of the stick."
The Red Devils (3-1-1) gave up two early goals to Shelby (3-0-0) in the first half and surrendered three goals in the second half during a four-minute span on their way to a 6-1 loss.
"I think early in the season, we needed this," said N-C coach Angelo Palozzi. "We had a good week last week beating AC Reynolds, Hickory and tying East Lincoln. I think this shows us where we are now and where we need to be."

First of all, let me just say finding ThemeForest was the greatest thing that happened for me in 2009. I released just one theme (HTML and Wordpress) since signing up here and it's sold 1,422 copies between the two versions. As a full-time freelancer, the passive income has been a life saver. I think I funded my recent London vacation entirely on TF earnings!
Anyway, starting in 2010 I want to get more involved in the forum community. I read the forum daily but never post because I worry about not being able to follow up on conversation. I'm a busy guy! My name is Mike and I live in Milwaukee, WI for the time being. Look forward to chatting with you all!
I'm gearing up to release a new theme after the Christmas holiday in both HTML and Wordpress. It includes some neat CSS3 , some PNG magic, and a few other bells and whistles. I'm really excited to get it off the ground. I'm including a preview below, just don't get any ideas
That theme looks great can't wait to see it completed. Happy Holidays !!
That template looks great!, looking forward on that template.
