Dear Washington, Nothing Has Changed About the Election
For political junkies, it's easy to think that campaign tussles make a difference in presidential elections. Washington was consumed with the story of Mitt Romney the high school bully, but voters could care less—in a recent poll from ABC News and The Washington Post, 90 percent said that it wouldn't be a factor in their view of the GOP nominee. Likewise, the massive controversy over Elizabeth Warren's Native American heritage has had zero effect on Massachusetts voters—69 percent say they simply don't care.
I don't mean to single out partisans; actual Beltway pundits are also too concerned with gaffes and faux controversies. Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei's assessment of the last month—which has the top spot at POLITICO—describes the Obama campaign as "stumbling out of the gate" and "struggling" with message discipline. It's everything you would expect from a micro-focus on the election:
Obama, not Mitt Romney, is the one with the muddled message — and the one who often comes across as baldly political. Obama, not Romney, is the one facing blowback from his own party on the central issue of the campaign so far — Romney's history with Bain Capital. And most remarkably, Obama, not Romney, is the one falling behind in fundraising.
How much of this is remarkable, and how much of this is the usual sturm und drang of a presidential election? Campaigns always see blowback on their messaging, on account of the fact that political parties aren't monolithic entities. Obama may have had a huge fundraising advantage in 2008, but in a polarized country where Democrats have taken steps to regulate Wall Street and raise taxes on rich people, it's no surprise that Republicans have suddenly emerged with a fundraising advantage, and the support of interested billionaires. It would be unusual if that weren't the case.
Buzzfeed has a similar piece—"Not Arrogant Any More"—with similar arguments and similar problems. Is there any actual surprise that Romney has caught up with Obama in the polls? Some Democrats may have shown undue confidence, but it's been obvious that this would become a close election as soon as Romney clinched the Republican nomination. To wit, Santorum's departure from the race was followed—almost immediately—by Romney's complete consolidation of the Republican base. Ultimately, his tactical victories in the horse race are less important than the fact that he is a major party nominee in a closely divided country.
Buzzfeed plays up the Obama campaign's mistakes, citing the Cory Booker-led backlash against the attacks on Bain Capital, but for all the controversy, the president himself is in the same position now as he was last month—his job approval stands at 47 percent, with a small lead over Romney. Between this and middling economic growth, Obama is a slight favorite for reelection, which is where he's been for nearly six months.
It's an election year, so it's simply a fact that pundits will latch on to every gaffe as if voters were actually paying attention to the minutiae of presidential politics. But it's always good to remember that they aren't, at all.

Bouie's comment is brief, reflecting how shallow his thinking is. Symptoms of voters shifting toward Romney are plentiful and Bouie dismisses them as insignificant. I wouldn't want James as my doctor, as he would dismiss symptoms of cancer as readily, I suspect.
Obama's negative attacks and his alienation of so many voter blocks through his pandering to micro-demographic segments of his base and ideological dictates are coming home to roost. Many more traditional liberals, like Corey Booker, are dismayed by Obama's campaign, rightly fearing not just a looming loss of the White House this year, but the Senate, and damage to the democrat brand for years to come.
It isn't the usual sturm und drang. It is noting a potential disaster in the making. Obama is pro gay marriage and he alienates many who believe in traditional marriage. He attacks religious freedoms with contraceptive mandates and alienates Catholics and many others of faith who see what such actions and positions might mean. He attacks capitalism and alienates business generally.
I am generally happy, if those on the left ignore what's going on, since it makes it more likely they will not improve Obama's campaign and thus help ensure a Romney win. When James Carville warns the party they need to take heed and Kool-Aid aficianados like Bouie suggest everyone "move along... nothing to see here", it does put a smile on my face.

The majority of Americans are in favor of gay marriage, and the number is going up all the time. In case you haven't noticed, everyone from former Solicitor General Ted Olson to Colin Powell to Dick Cheney and Laura Bush are in favor of gay marriage. The younger voters are even more pro-gay marriage, so they will support Obama over Romney. The black vote will overwhelmingly stay with Obama, particularly since the Birther Republicans like the Arizona Secretary of State and Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman keep questioning whether the President is American. And some of Mitt Romney's skeletons, like the fact he was a Vietnam Draft Dodger, haven't even been exposed to the majority of Americans yet. Are you really going to support a Vietnam Draft Dodger for President? I know I'm not.

Most polls DO show the majority of Americans are in favor of gay marriage, and the number is going up all the time. And I hope and pray the number continues to go up. And I hope that within my lifetime people will be wondering why there was all the fuss and feathers about same-sex marriage, and what it was all about. And at the same time, 32 states, including MY home state of California (hardly a bastion of conservatism) have voted to prohibit same-sex marriage. And you can make the argument that the "only poll" that matters is the one taken on election day. I haven't figured out how to reconcile the two. If anybody out there has any suggestions, I'm open to them.
You're right that the black vote will overwhelmingly stay with Obama (is it "racist" to say that?). I suspect the hispanic vote will also overwhelmingly stay with Obama. Younger voters are always thought to be safely in the Democrats' camp. And yet, when the voting age was lowered to 18, I don't think the percentages of people who voted really bear that out. I could be wrong.
I believe that at the end of the day, the Presidential election will boil down to one issue. As James Carville said, "It's the economy, stupid." The candidate who earns my vote has to do one simple thing. Tell me what he is going to do to improve the economy. I don't want to hear Romney tell me that President Obama's policies have failed. I don't want to hear President Obama tell me that Mitt Romney's policies will fail. I'm sick and tired of hearing both sides tell me why I should fear or loathe "the other guy."

Keep drinking the cool aid. Romney leads by 2 to 1 in polls of people experiencing economic hardship. No president with Obamarx's current numbers has ever been re-elected. Other polls and even Obama's public appearances all show his base is not going to turn out for him on election day. The people are sick of this marxist tyrant spending like a drunken sailor on failed "green" companies owned by his friends.

When you use terms like 'Marxist' you reveal your bias and lack of intelligent analysis. Obama leads Romney in the large majority of polls, and in the Electoral College. Most insiders in Washington, including Republicans, expect Obama to win. Incidentally, while it may come as a shock to the far-right, Obama is actually more Conservative than most of the leaders in Europe, including the Conservative leaders like British Prime Minister David Cameron.

When I logged in to post this comment, I was deluged with desperate requests for donations to save The Prospect. You want to save The Prospect? Stop publishing inane junk written by Jamielle Bouie. The man (or woman?) has every right to think and talk like an idiot, but why in the world do you publish it? Had he been a weatherman just before Katrina devasted New Orleans, he would have said there is no chance of Katrina hitting that unfortunate city. Obama is about to be hit by the political equivalent of Katrina, and all this guy sees are blue skys and sunshine. Good grief!
Sat, 2012-05-26 09:59
I don't understand why other commenters are so hostile towards this columnist…
What he's saying isn't controversial… When you look at most current electoral college maps, Obama does have quite a head start over Romney is what are going to be the most crucial states (Virginia, Ohio, and New Hampshire). That, plus the inherent advantages of incumbency, mean that Obama is - currently - enjoying a small edge over Romney.
Of course that could change, and probably will several times before November.
I think the columnist here was just trying to make the point (which I agree with), that people who get really micro-focused on elections tend to think every little campaign event is more important than it actually is. November is a long way off, and anyone who claims that they can truly predict this election based small events & minor gaffes this far out is being the real moron
Sat, 2012-05-26 10:22
I understand what you are saying, and the electorial college looks like it favors Obama. I just think Obama is slipping up really bad right now by having a War on Capitalism.... Not a good place to put all your marbles Mr. O...
Mitt has a chance, especially since it all comes down to the ECONOMY....

Jamelle, aren't you a black man? Then of course you want us all to believe Obama is God. He isn't.
He is losing many of his supporters, because finally he is being vetted.
Of course he may still win in NOv.... We don't have a crystal ball, but if so , then I think it would be what we deserve, because of our sin, America will go downhill and never be a super power again...... All this if obama is re-elected.
We get what we deserve, and America has become a horribly sinful place, killing millions of our innocent unborn, and trying to steal money from the rich to give to those who don't work......
Sat, 2012-05-26 10:43
so rarely do you see so much fear, ignorance, hate, propaganda, superstition, and lack of anything resembling facts or evidence, so densely packed into such a concise paragraph! Congratulations on that feat buster!
Also, before you go on about how sinful wealth redistribution is, I suggest you study your scripture closer:
Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
Sat, 2012-05-26 12:09
Ah, but you misunderstand. The young man went away grieving, but a key point is that he went away. Jesus didn't send the tax collectors after him to seize his property by force. Jesus did not try to force him to do what he was unwilling to do voluntarily.
There is no virtue in "doing good" (especially someone else's idea of good, with which you disagree) because you are forced to. There is no virtue in forcing someone else to "do good" (especially your idea of good, with which they disagree) when they don't want to.
So perhaps it is you who should study your scripture closer. Without free will, "doing good" is worthless.
Sat, 2012-05-26 17:13
I think you both are missing the context of the verse. Jesus knew the condition of the man's heart and He knew the man first love was to his wealth. Similiar to the man who want to follow Jesus but wait until his father was dead,
Libertas- I agree with your comment about doing good and being forced to do good. It reminded me of something I heard at tax time when Romney, Obama and Biden released their taxes. Romney gave considerably more in terms of amount and percentage of income compared to Obama and Romney combined. How is this possible considering how much more the democrats care about the poor than the republicans.
Sun, 2012-05-27 15:06
Rosie O'Donnell says it's because liberals see helping the "poor" it as a "collective" responsibility. That means they use the power of the state force other people to do what they are unwilling to do themselves.
And sadly, when the state is involved, it's not about "helping" anyone. It's about power and control. Nothing else. Just power and control.
Sat, 2012-05-26 18:15
Give freely ThreeAeroplanes... Jesus never said for someone to force me to give by robbing me. Robbing is a sin. As a Christian, I do give, more than even Biden or most liberals give. We give....
You really think Obama/Biden is who Jesus would choose to run this wonderful country? Think again...
Wed, 2012-05-30 17:12
It's maddening to see how scripture is twisted in whichever way to make people feel better about themselves. You are shortchanging Jesus if you think his whole life and word was about trying to get people to "give" in such a limited understanding. You think God was made man to simply make them people give each other money or do charity? No, he sought to revolutionize the world through the power of love, namely loving the least of your brothers and sisters. While I don't mean to belittle charity and giving money to the poor, you have to differentiate between charity and social justice. Sometimes charity is not enough to ensure that all of God's people are treated with dignity and given equal opportunity to fulfill their human potential; sometimes systematic change and restructuring the world to make it more socially just is necessary. Long story short, don't automatically assume you're doing God's work just because you make some donations every year.

Obama is not losing 'many of his supporters', although it's inevitable for any leader that they will always lose some of along the way. The point is, why would anyone want to vote for a party like the Republicans who have destroyed the middle class and crashed the economy in 2008? And they are also a party that is racist, misogynistic & homophobic. There is nothing good about the modern Republican Party. Incidentally, how are Americans going to feel when they find out Mitt Romney was a pro-Vietnam draft dodger who hid out in France for 3 years during the War? Should a man like that be Commander in Chief?
Sat, 2012-05-26 10:34
you said "Obama may have had a huge fundraising advantage in 2008, but in a polarized country where Democrats have taken steps to regulate Wall Street and raise taxes on rich people, it's no surprise that Republicans have suddenly emerged with a fundraising advantage, and the support of interested billionaires. "
You did not bother to mention that Obama has received more campaign donations from Wall Streeters that ALL of the Republican candidates combined.
So, if you are saying that the Romney is getting more donations from "the rich" because of his and the Democrats promises to "tax the rich" and their so-called regulation of Wall Street, then why are they still donating to Obama? On the very same night that the Bain ad began running, Obama was in Manhattan, collecting $35,800 a head from a roomful of venture capitalists. Hosting the event was Tony James, president of the Blackstone Group — the nation's largest private-equity firm.
BTW - More than half of Obama's 47 biggest fundraisers, those who collected at least $500,000 for his campaign, have been given administration jobs. Nine more have been appointed to presidential boards and committees. At least 24 Obama bundlers were given posts as foreign ambassadors, including in Finland, Australia, Portugal and Luxembourg. Among them is Don Beyer, a former Virginia lieutenant governor who serves as ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Wake up Steve. I sometimes forget I am on a progressive (liberal) website. This is definitely in Obamas court. All 4 YEARS OF HIS TERM... W is gone, W is not even standing up for himself, because W is a classy gentleman. Its Clinton and Carter , two peas in a pod that go around and think their opinion matters now..
W is gone... OBAMA IS TO BLAME FOR ALL HIS TERM STEVE... Put down the Kool-aid.
Sat, 2012-05-26 19:21
Yes, W is classy to stay out of the way after a terrible presidency. I suspect he understands how badly he let the country down and very nearly destroyed the GOP. I do not question that BO is responsible for his four years, and I do not want another four. That would be 16 years in a row of incompetence in the WH.

Those darn pundits, Jamelle! they wake up every morning and peruse the news from all outlets. then they decide what they will talk about. then they start to write......and what do they say, Jamelle? well - it seems that BHObama and the Chicago 'high-risers' can't get a good narrative going. from race to same sex marriage to follies with the Catholic church - all of these topics seem to bore the voters. sprinkle in a little Keystone oil and black politicians and the NAACP and you have a perfect mix of 'blah' politics that BHObama is running on - INSTEAD OF HIS RECORD. in all my years of studying presidential politics [well except for Jimmy C] this is the biggest conundrum of 'blah' that a campaign has ever put out so early in the season. But wait! Biden! we forgot about Biden! ;-) now we are really talking about a juggernaut cruising toward that inevitable re-election, right Jamelle? Deep sigh.

Say, Jamelle, what's 100% minus 69%? Did your primary education taught you that it's "zero" or did you learn that from the Zero president?
BTW, MA is a heavily Blue state and one can easily guess that the 69% are who really don't care that their champion is a fraud are Dems. ......far fetched? I think not!

PLENTY has changed about this election, and it's all about President Obama's desperate, false attempts to attack Mitt Romney/venture capitalism and counter his known record of spending increases. He parties with venture capitalists and takes their money at night, and curses their practices in the daylight. It is absurd for Obama to claim he actually LOWERED spending. How exactly did that extra $5 Trillion in debt amass itself? If that's all Team Obama has, they are TOAST!

Sat, 2012-05-26 13:35
To this day, we look back 30 years and think "Jimmy Carter.... ultra-liberal President who damaged the Democratic brand for decades". Guess what... Obama is about to do the same. To this day, can anyone really think of ANYTHING that Carter did well in office? I can't... and I was a young adult during his Presidency. What is going to happen here? Healthcare passage? This much hated policy will probably will be gone through SCOTUS. Balanced budget? No... trillions in debt. Unemployment rate went down? No... and if someone looks at the Labor Participation Rate, you will see that we are down millions of jobs. Great Energy Policy? ummm... Solyndra. Gas prices doubled. Poverty? Up. Food stamp distribution? Up. Youth employment? Ugly. What's funny is that the ONLY thing he is spiking the football on is bin Laden. And had he had his way as a Senator, many of the Bush policies that he vilified would have gone away and he never would have found him. As the public gets to realize that Romney is not the crazy right winger they are going to try to paint him, and as we slip back in to a recession (which we are) Obama will be Carter redux. The only person spiking the football will be Jimmy himself, since the heat will be taken off him as a really bad President. Mr. Bouie, you are deluded just like all of the other liberals living in a bubble, and reading the NY Times who refuses to report what is really happening. It doesn't surprise me that liberals always seem shocked when they lose.

Jimmy Carter was a good President in many ways, but unfortunately fell victim to a man with a lot of style, but very little substance. Most of the things Jimmy Carter stood for have gone on to become well-respected today, and he won a Nobel Prize and has enormous stature internationally. Jimmy Carter did what a President was supposed to do - not engage in war unless necessary. He did not needlessly sacrifice American lives or engage in deals with Iran, drug-dealers, the Contras, etc. Incidentally, unlike Mitt Romney who is a Vietnam Draft Dodger, Carter served during World War II.
Sat, 2012-05-26 23:59
Really? He was a good President in many ways? Let's hear about them....Inflation ran away unchecked, interest rates were sky-high, long lines for gas and we could only buy $5 worth of it, Iran hostage crisis, failed plans to rescue hostages. Complete lack of respect by the rest of the world and nobody took the US seriously, especially the U.S.S.R. It was under Jimmy Carter that we saw the rise of Islamic fundamentalism when Carter refused to back up the Shah. That kind of mindless purist way of thinking-either the whole enchilada or nothing-was Carter's downfall. He was unable to see that, in the political world, there are unfortunately bad people that you have to deal with. Furthermore, the Carter-created misery index (a campaign tool against Ford) rose exponentially under Carter. Stagflation. Gas on certain days of the week (hello, windfall profits tax!). 444 days of our citizens being held hostage while he sent a helicopter crashing into the desert sands because he couldn't stand to bring the full weight of the armed forces to bear against Iran when the evil of that empire was in its infancy. And the way he has acted over the past few years.... ugh. Hello President Romney. And as for Reagan having no substance, he is consistently listed as one of the great Presidents in our history.
Sun, 2012-05-27 00:11
Actually Carter did not serve during WW2 (you know you really make a lot of mistakes) and is recognized as a failure by darn near everybody except a few party goobs who don't know what their talking about. I know many dedicated democrats who still can't stand Carter after he intentionally conceded the race while the polls were still open on the west coast in a move to punish the democrats in congress who he didn't think had given him enough support.

Nice to see sense from a pundit. Campaigns fight over the framing, but control neither voter feelings nor events which sometimes do affect voter feelings. The frame thing comes down to the time of voting itself. When it's close, it's mostly how events have built feelings of good path/bad path amongst the voters.

While the election is close in terms of the national polls at the moment, it is not as close in terms of the state polls or the Electoral College. Barack Obama retains a large lead in the EC at this point in time, and leads in almost all of the states he won in 2008 except for Indiana and North Carolina. What some people forget to mention in their analyses is that the Republicans have not won a Presidential Election decisively (eg. by over 300 EV) since 1988. By contrast, the Democrats won over 300 EV in 1992, 1996, & 2008.

They also refuse to mention Bush's name or that Romney will govern EXACTLY as Bush did given the fact that the EXACT same billionaires, corporatists, and zealots will expect the EXACT same failed policies.

Obama and the Democrats definitely need to make this not only a referendum on the harmful policies of Romney & Boehener, but of George W. Bush. As one article I read recently said, Bush inflicted more damage on America than any President in history, and we must never forget that. The Republicans certainly know how toxic he is since the Bush family's big endorsement of Romney had to be done by George Bush Sr., who is pushing 90, instead of Bush Jr. Bush Jr. is in exile and hardly ever comes out in public and unlike Clinton who is popular on the campaign trail, is shunned by Republicans. The Democrats have to keep reminding people of who crashed the economy in the first place.
Sat, 2012-05-26 21:18
You stupid liars can continue spewing democrat lies and propaganda in hopes that their criminal organization that fiends for power and tax payer dollars can can continue to exist, deceive and rip off the American people. This registered democratic AMERICAN will continue to expose them for the lying treasonous creeps that they are until they are voted out of existence.
Americans do not need the party of democrats to survive, they exist off the backs of us Americans like leeches and parasites. There was a reason well over 700 of these stupid lying traitors were kicked to the curb in 2010 and since these idiots are doubling down on stupid and think they are entitled to rule and dictate how we AMERICANS should live our lives they are going to get another well deserved shellacking. They have no business in positions of power at any level of our Government, where they belong is in prison.

Feelings in turmoil, inside this shell.
And the days they grow stranger still.
Some days sparkle and glisten ..
Bathed in a bright birth of light.
Others are dark and hellish ...
Like the nightmares I have in the night.
Why are there so many colours?
When so many see only black and white.

Phoenix could lose veggie-market concept to Texas
PHOENIX -- A first-of-its-kind plant-based supermarket concept, generated in Phoenix, may have to find life elsewhere.
Investors told local VegCo Market CEO and founder Heather Francois that Austin, Texas, would be a better place for the idea than Phoenix.
"Their initial understanding is that Austin would make a much better city, just due to how eco-friendly, and how many vegans and vegetarians there are," said Francois. "They tend to be a very progressive city historically."
Francois said her research suggested Phoenix could support the idea, but needs to demonstrate demand to her investors to keep the flagship store here.
She's mounted an online campaign to change investors' minds. Supporters can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Her investors are flying to Phoenix early next month to tour the site.

The reason could be anything really - from sheer amusement to 'what would TP's imagination make of this???!' kinda thing
It could be a dud, but it could also be quite fun to have Death of Rats, Vimes and Rincewind team up. Just the sheer thought of badly disguised Vimes grumbling on lack of understanding of 'SQUEAK' could be fun (and I can hear the Patrician laugh hard somewhere), and Rince ... well, the big one or the little one, I doubt he'll be happy to be near Death in any form

The Wilson College field hockey team fell to the Bridgewater Eagles tonight 3-1 on the road. The Phoenix played the Eagles tough early, but unfortunately saw the game slip from their reach.
Neither team took the advantage offensively as the first half displayed low scoring with Wilson and Bridgewater tied 1-1. Junior Hillary Swartz scored for the Phoenix off a pass by freshman Lauren Hampton. Despite being outshot in the half 8-3, Wilson was able to put pressure on Bridgewater offense and stop them at one goal.
Bridgewater attacked Wilson's defense early in the second half and jumped out to take a 3-1 quick lead over the Phoenix. Wilson could not execute any offensive momentum to catch up to the Eagles and totaled five shots in the second half.
Senior Megan Schneck, Hillary Swartz, and sophomore Taylor Crouse recorded two shots apiece in the match. Sophomore goalkeeper Gina Weigold recorded six saves in net.
Wilson returns home on Sunday, September 22 when they host the College of Notre Dame of Maryland at 1pm. The contest marks a blue and white day at Wilson. Any Wilson student wearing royal blue will receive a white t-shirt. Students must bring their ID.

Soul Centered Astrology: A Key to Your Expanding Self, by Alan Oken
Ibis Press, 9780892541348, 410 pp., 1990, 2008
Oken, an astrologer and lecturer for many years, believes that humanity is transiting into a New Age, and that there are "certain dynamics of human psychology and relationship that current trends in astrological interpretation and counseling no longer satisfy." As such, he puts forth to combine traditional astrology (or exoteric astrology in his language) with the teachings of the Theosophical Society, Alice Bailey, and the Ancient Wisdom Teachings.
The premise has me in mixed opinions. Continue reading

Since the late '80s, World Products has been casting their own small-block heads. Known originally as the "Dart II," this successful design was employed by bracket racers and street heroes alike for a decade. Then, in 1994 World Products superseded the Dart II with the all-new Sportsman II head.
With its 200cc intake runners and fast burn-style combustion chambers, the Sportsman II head continues to offer engine builders the means to an easy, out-of-the-box 400hp small-block.
With more than 200,000 Dart II and Sportsman II heads sold, these World Products heads are as common in the pits as the Bow-Tie itself. But the company's president, Bill Mitchell, kept thinking "bigger" when he saw the Sportsman II-bigger intake runner volume and bigger valves-all to take advantage of the bigger displacement Mouse motors being built these days, including the 415-cid MoTown motors and 427-cid small-blocks his company was working on. We're talking engines that make north of 400 hp and exceed 500 lb-ft of torque-big-block territory, really.
But since World's expertise was in offering as-cast, off-the-shelf performance, he didn't want to bog down his technicians with hogging out Sportsman II heads. The solution was to cast a bigger, better small-block head. The MoTown 220 cast iron cylinder head is the result.
"You've got to match the heads' flow with the increase in displacement," Mitchell says. "It's the same old story about a big engine running out of breath at high rpm. If, say, you go up 10 percent in displacement, you should go up at least that far in cylinder head volume."
The MoTown 220, as its name implies, comes out of the box with 220cc intake runners. The 220 heads are available with either 64cc or 72cc combustion chambers (shaped for "fast burn" efficiency) and will accept intake valves sized up to 2.10 inches, although the standard assembled MoTown heads are fitted with 2.055 and 1.600 valves. Either way, the specs add up to seriously heavy-breathing chunks of cast iron.
"These heads really weren't designed for the average 350 small-block," Mitchell says. "They're for 383s and 427s that need to breathe at high rpm. You can achieve good benefits by putting them on a smaller-cube small-block, but the whole engine should be designed for it."
Mitchell points out that as-cast, the MoTown heads are beefier than stock-type heads with more material. This means someone with a die grinder and some time on a bench can extract more flow from the heads, but the already enlarged passages-compared to the Sportsman II heads-provide most of the benefits of a porting job right out of the box. World claims its "RightCast" casting method ensures cleaner, smoother ports, too, to lessen the need for "clean up" on the bench.
But just because the ports are big, does that mean they flow? We asked for some flow bench numbers, and Mitchell told us that the intake ports, for example, are 94 percent efficient at 28 inches of water flowing 290 cfm. The exhausts are good for 220 cfm.

MaSh St, Ulephone 184 Freeport a4«OTtiaMi«>t Ths entire Village of Freeport is in mourning at the word that it haa be¬ gun to pay iU toll to German Mili¬ Urism when W. Clinton Story, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Story ot West Merrick Road, ploaged to hia death in an airplane accident over Park Field, Memphis, Tenneasee, on Tnesday afUmoon. Young Story, who was in his 26th year, met his death wben his machine crashed into that of Cadet William J. Weissinger of Benlah, Miss., when Weissinger's machine flew directly across his path, making a collision in- eviUble- Both machines crashed to earth from a height of abont 1,000 feet, Weissinger being instantly killed. Story, .who waa thrown clear of the wreckage of his machine, was picked up alive. He was rushed to the camp hospiU], where every ef¬ fort was made to save his life, but he expired two and a half hours laUr withont regaining consciousness. At the time of the accident Story had been circling the fiield making practice landings and was gliding down when Weissinger, who had been flying a bit higher and evidently did not see Story's plane, flew directly in his path. Story's machine fell at a forty-five degree angle on iU back and strui^c the ground on iU nose, finally landing right side up, breaking off the Uil and throwing the young Long Island student aviator clear. This happened at 4:16 p^ m., and it was just before 7 o'clock when he died. He had been doing splendid work and his instructors are unstinted in their praise of him, saying he was of an id^al temperament for an aviator. This is the first tragedy of the war to atrike home to Freeport and the village is deeply mourning iU brave son who gave his life for his country. First news of the accident came in a telegram from the War Department to the parenU, sUting that he had been seriously injured, and the fran¬ tic parents and his sister, Misa Gladys Story, made hasty pr^jiara- tions to hurry to Memphis to be with him, when a second message came an¬ nouncing his death. Before enlisting last April, yonng Story was employed in his father's of¬ fice. After a course at PlatUbnrg he was entered for aviation work, and was ordered to Memphis November 16. Both Story and Weissinger were members of the second, or advanced, flying clasa, and were almost ready for active war service. The whole Story family have devot¬ ed themselves to the service of the country, both Mrs. Story and Misa Story being indefatigable workers in the Bed Croas, and Mr. Story active in patriotic organization work, both local and National. Mrs. Story alao did splendid work for the Freeport Federation, and ia beloved by all who have eome in conUct with her in her work. The body of our young Freeporter was aent to Freeport from camp thia Friday moming, under a miliUry ea¬ cort, and Uken to the home of his heart-stricken parenU for the fun¬ eral services, which will be held San¬ day aftemoon at 3 o'clock. Ross Residence Sold Lewis H. Ross haa sold his resi¬ dence property, 1*16 Pine Street, to H. J. McCord, who will occupy it some time this month, with his family. Mr. Rasa and family will move to another residence owned by Mr. Ross on Lin¬ coln Place.

MAKE POTATOES SAVE WHEAT The conservation bareaa of tbe Naw York State Food Commission is urging the use of pota¬ toes twice a day on every family tabll^r™ order to nse np tlie surplus crop on hand, and in order to make potatoes save wheat. There sre more than a hundred million bushels above the normal yield this year, whicb means tbat to take care of the war crop of potatoee every individual must eat an ex¬ tra bushel above his usual yearly portioii. To show ways and means of using the extra potatoes, the Commission, througii tke Conservation Bureau, has just issued a collection of recipes prepared by the Department of Homd Economics of the State College of Agriculture, called "Potatoes for Pat¬ riotism," which tells how to make, potatoes into pastry, Into Victory Bread, into soups, souffles and many other delectable dishea MILK AS MEAT AND DRINK Under tbe title, "Milk as Meat and Drink," a pamphletissuedfrom the press this week by the Bu¬ reau of Conservation of the New York State Food Commission, throws light on the present milk situ¬ ation and urges tbe greater use of milk among the bomes of New York State. , V Because of the recent increase in the cost of % milk, less milk in being consumed, which is tend- J^ ing to cause a milk surplus with the result that J^ farmers are slaughtering tbeir herds. Unless some- ^^ thing is done to counteract this, a re^ milk short- A age will occur and prices will soar. « As a patriotic measure, a larger consumption 9 ot milk is urged and likewise as a measure of econ- 9 omy, since milk is the cheapest form of animal food, 9 and may be used in many different ways to take V the place of meat. j The recipes' in the pamphlet, which have beeu i prepared by the Department of Home Economics \ ot the State €<ritlege of Agricalturey sfaow^ ways for X using milk, cheese and whey, giving iMQt meals, ^ milk or cheese as the main dish, fn salads and des- <^ serts, with fifty or more recipes utilizing milk in « unusual ways. 9 These pamphlets are available to housewives V through the oflice of the Nassau County Conser- 9 vation Agent, or tbrough A.

Tli. 663-J/ VILLAGE TRUSTEES Most of the time at the regular meeting of the Village Board of Trus¬ tees Thuraday aftemoon was Uken with a discussion of fira alarm mat¬ ters, along the lines previously cov¬ ered in tha Fire Department Column of the Nassau County Review. Briefly, the Telephone Company does hot want to give the Fire Department infor¬ mation regarding location of fires and Uke the responsibility of time re¬ quired without compensation, and submits a plan to have all fire calls go through ,the police department. The Fire Conncil unanimously objects to thia proposition, claiming that the poliee department haa its own re¬ sponsibilities and naturally would give them the right of way over fire matters, and that in some insUnces valuable time might be lost. They claim they do not in any way reflect on the police department—they siaip- ly do not believe the suggested plan tends to speed in getting alarms in. Mr. Ryder, repre3enting the telephone company is equally positive that the service will be as rapid as that at present used, depending on the tele¬ phone operators. Mr. Ryder also said that hereafter no preference wotild be shown the fire department calls, they would have to Uke their turn and he was sure that if "Central" knew where the flre was she would tell the fire department officials, btit thei« wonld be no guarantee that she would know. This waa laid over for far¬ ther conaideration with other budget matters relating to budget and fin¬ ances nntil Wednesday evening of this woek.

York County Sheriff Dale Radcliff told KETV-TV that the video will be used as evidence against Sabata in connection with a robbery at the Cornerstone Bank.
She faces robbery and theft charges, reports KETV-TV.
The video was posted the same day Sabata was arrested and shows a woman holding handwritten signs that say she robbed a bank and stole a car. She then holds a bundle of money in front of the camera, all set to music.
The video caption says: "I just stole a car and robbed a bank. Now I'm rich, I can pay off my college financial aid, and tomorrow I'm going for a shopping spree."
The woman also laments how authorities took her baby and charged her with neglect.
KETV-TV obtained Sabata's records, which shows the state took her son away last month, weeks before the robbery.
Police found the cash, sunglasses, a pink backpack and license plates from the stolen vehicle in Sabata's house, which were seen in the bank's surveillance video.
Natural selection!!!

Charming and energetic, these lamps create a lively ambiance in any space in your home and are sure to engage your guests. A Tiffany-Style favorite, the Arielle design brings the shade and table lamp base to life with ribbon-like lattice and a sophisticated floral-like pattern, in four glowing color schemes. And while individually flawless, these lamps coordinate with each other brilliantly when used as a set. With such complementary colors, you can even mix and match to fit your signature style!
Made from glass, iron and metal, the table lamp measures 25"H with a 16" shade diameter and weighs 10.8 lbs. The table lamp shade requires two 60-watt Type A bulbs (not included) and the base requires one 7-watt Type C bulb (included). The floor lamp measures 61"H with a 16" shade diameter and weighs 15.6 lbs. The floor lamp requires two 60-watt Type A bulbs (not included). The lamps operate on pull chains and an inline switch with a 72" cord. Low level of assembly required (approximately 5-10 minutes). Clean with regular glass cleaner and a clean cloth (unplugged). Dry with soft, clean cloth. UL approved; for indoor use only. From the Tiffany-Style Lighting Collection. Made in China.
Instruction for changing base bulb on table lamp: Simply loosen the base counter clockwise until the base is separated, the bulb will be visible.
Please Note: Upon receiving your product, should it come with excess oil, please place it on a towel and use a paper towel to wipe it off gently. The oil is used as the final part of the lamp construction which gives the glass a scratch-resistant shine and protection for long-distance delivery.
Please Note: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. However, due the nature in which these lamps are crafted, slight color variations in stained glass are normal and help to make each lamp beautifully unique. Also, the appearance of the colors in the shade will be dependent on the lighting in the room. Cloth shades with a pattern may vary because of how the fabric is cut.
California Residents Only, Click Here: "Proposition 65" WARNING
A good lighting scheme is arguably the most important aspect of decorating and the most powerful way to define a room's ambiance. Choosing the right types of lighting requires knowing a little something about the different purposes lighting can serve, the types of lamps and shades available, what some technical terms mean, and how to tailor a lighting scheme to your specific room and needs.
Table lamps are perhaps the most common type of lamp used today. They generally range in height from 25" to 32", and they often serve double roles as task lighting and accent lighting. Because of this, most people choose to use medium-watt, soft-light bulbs in their table lamps. When choosing a table lamp, the shade needs to be in proportion to the lamp's base, as well as with the surrounding furniture. The shade should be at eye level when you're seated, and the bulb should not be visible. Generally speaking, shorter lamps should be placed on taller tables, and taller lamps should be placed on shorter tables. This will help keep everything in room balanced and at eye level.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.
Floor Lamps:
Floor lamps are excellent for providing both task and accent lighting, especially to dark corners or other areas of a room where overhead light may not be able to reach. Floor lamps are easily added to most rooms because they take up little space and their light levels are often adjustable. Try placing a floor lamp next to a comfortable chair to create a perfect reading area.

Fresh Tracks to Cozy Inns
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Fresh powder clings to the branches of the balsams. I ski beneath a low-hanging limb; it suddenly springs skyward, showering me in cold flakes that sting my skin and momentarily steal my breath. Just ahead, I see a sign that could just as well be posted at the gates to the underworld: THIS TRAIL IS STEEP, NARROW, LONG, NOT PATROLLED, AND UNGROOMED. DO NOT SKI ALONE. A minute later, another sign advises that it's nine miles to the Trapp Family Lodge, our ultimate destination today.
Is this heaven or hell? Our answer comes just uphill, past the ominous warnings, when one of my ski partners flies down through a snow-filled glade of bright-white birch trees. A grinning Sam von Trapp lets out a hoot and stops. "Welcome to Paradise," he says. He scoops up a handful of fluff and blows it into the air. "Utah powder, right here in Vermont."
It was Sam's father, Johannes, who in the early 1980s oversaw the rebuilding and expansion of the famous lodge to which we're headed. Sam has joined me, along with his wife, Elisa, and my wife, Sue Minter, for our foray along the Catamount Trail. The conditions we find there–a foot of soft snow under a bluebird sky–surprise us all.
Surprises are the only thing I can be sure of on the Catamount Trail. Although I'm familiar with where the trail goes, I can never predict how the day will go once I glide off into the backcountry. Icy snow at my house may be light powder on the trail; an inviting blue sky that beckons me out for a backcountry trek may quickly morph into a frigid gale. That's why I return here, again and again. In a world that's scheduled, mapped out, linked in, synced, and GPSed, the elemental unpredictability of a day sliding on snow in the Vermont mountains is something to be treasured. And the blanket of sparkly snow that we find on this day is like stumbling across a pirate's hidden booty.
The Catamount Trail is the crown of Vermont. How it sparkles depends on where you ski it: Most of the 300-mile-long trail is beautiful, some of it is downright spectacular, and a bit of it is merely pedestrian, as it fulfills its ambitious mission of being a skiable path extending the entire length of Vermont.
Then there are the gems in that crown. For me, the ultimate experience of the Catamount Trail includes great skiing and a stay at one of the 13 inns that dot the route. This is the sugar and spice of the Catamount Trail: the rugged backcountry, bookended by the comfort of Vermont inns.
The best of the Catamount Trail is captured in two distinctly different tours. The first is the Bolton-Trapp Trail, a high, wild mountain adventure that ends at the opulent Trapp Family Lodge. The second is the route from Rikert Ski Touring Center in Ripton to the deliciously funky Blueberry Hill Inn in Goshen.
Johannes von Trapp recalls how he got it wrong. The 71-year-old éminence grise of the Trapp Family Lodge is shuttling Sam, Elisa, Sue, and me to Bolton Valley, where we'll begin our day-long ski back to his lodge. "I thought that the future of skiing was in hut-to-hut travel through the mountains," he chuckles.
The youngest child of Maria and Georg von Trapp (immortalized by Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music), Johannes founded the lodge's cross-country ski center in 1968. Four years later, he and Gardiner Lane, who was running the cross-country center at Bolton Valley, cut the rugged Bolton-Trapp Trail.

Boris v., Netherlands, April 26 2012 it was wonderful
Gail M., United States, February 25 2012 Most of the selections were slower pieces. Some more lively music would have been better.
AMANDA B., United Kingdom, February 09 2012 The music and venue were magical. Although the venue was so very cold. My only criticism was that the musicians ceased playing between each piece, waited for the singer to leave and for another to replace them, which left a void between music pieces. thought perhaps some music to fill the gaps would have bound the whole experience together.

ZEYNEP R., Turkey, January 25 2012 Amazing concert, yet I have to remind that the inside of the church is as cold as the outside so I suggest you to dress for the temperature :) But we enjoyed it so much, the atmosphere is amazing, also since there is no microphone or speakers, you hear the music directly, which is a rare experience. Loved it!
Ib S., Denmark, December 30 2011 very good perfomance
Kerk P., United States, December 25 2011 Very enjoyable, but too short!

Final Score: Pittsburgh 25, New England 17
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh
Steelers chewed up the clock and the New England defense, beating the Patriots
25-17 on Sunday for their seventh straight win at Heinz Field.
They beat Tom Brady for only the second time in eight tries, denying Brady and
Bill Belichick the NFL record for most wins by a quarterback-head coach combo
in the Super Bowl era.
Roethlisberger was 36-of-50 for 365 yards, two touchdowns and an interception
that New England turned into a TD. Shaun Suisham kicked three field goals in
the win, including one each in the last two quarters.
The Steelers (6-2) held the ball for almost twice as long as the Patriots and
denied Brady a final chance to win the game, sacking him to force a fumble
that ended up as a safety.
"We played good, fundamental football today, and that's the recipe," said
Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin. "We were where we were supposed to be,
doing what we were supposed to do, for the most part in all three phases."
Pittsburgh has won four in a row and remains at home to play AFC North rival
Baltimore next week.
Brady was 24-of-35 for 198 yards and two touchdowns for the Patriots (5-2),
who were coming off a bye and had a three-game winning streak snapped. Brady
and Belichick remained on 116 wins, tied with Hall of Famers Dan Marino and
Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins.
"They out-played us and out-coached us," said Belichick. "Hopefully we can get
back to work and play better. It just wasn't a good job by us in any phase."
The Steelers set the tone with two long drives to start the game, taking an
early 10-0 lead. They held the ball for more than 13 minutes in the first
quarter and for more than 39 minutes in the game.
Despite missing wide receiver Hines Ward due to an ankle injury -- linebacker
James Farrior was out, too -- half of Pittsburgh's 10 drives went for at least
10 plays and five minutes.
Roethlisberger was 23-of-32 for 231 yards, two touchdowns and an interception
in the first half alone. Other than one scramble by the QB, the Steelers ran
just eight times in the half.
Big Ben was 7-of-9 on the game's opening drive, completing four passes of at
least 10 yards and connecting with Mewelde Moore on a five-yard strike for a
7-0 lead.
The 11-play possession was followed by a three-and-out by the Patriots, then a
16-play drive by Pittsburgh that bled into the second quarter and ended in
Suisham's 33-yard field goal.
New England punted on its first two possessions, but got good field position
when Gary Guyton intercepted Roethlisberger and returned it 17 yards to the
Pittsburgh 8.
Brady's two-yard pass to Deion Branch in the end zone got the Patriots within
The Steelers replied with a 10-play drive and Antonio Brown scored his first
NFL touchdown on a seven-yard catch, turning for Roethlisberger's pass near
the goal line and surging across it for a 17-7 lead.
Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 46-yard field goal to draw New England within
17-10 at halftime.
"There were too many three-and-outs. It was a poor level of execution all the
way around. We have to look in the mirror and figure out what we need to do
better," said Brady. "We never really played the game on our terms."
Suisham nailed a 21-yard field goal in the third quarter, while Gostkowski
booted one off the upright for a 42-yard miss. The Steelers responded with an
11-play drive and Suisham's 23-yarder made it 23-10 early in the fourth.
After Suisham missed a 43-yard field goal later in the final quarter, Aaron
Hernandez's one-yard catch in the back of the end zone drew the Patriots
within 23-17 with 2:35 remaining, capping a 67-yard drive in 10 plays.
Before the touchdown, New England was twice stopped at the one-yard line on
catches by Rob Gronkowski and Kevin Faulk. Gronkowski was tackled right at the
line, but the Patriots didn't challenge the call and the next play ate up a
lot of time.
Isaac Redman picked up a first down for the Steelers, who punted anyway after
failing to get another one. But the Patriots were left with just 19 seconds,
and Brady's fumble on the first play was knocked more than 20 yards and out
of the back of the end zone for a safety.
Game Notes
Roethlisberger, who hurt his left foot four weeks ago in a loss to Houston,
briefly left the field in between the first and second quarter after his foot
was pulled on a tackle...Gronkowski had seven catches for 94 yards, while
Brown led all receivers with nine receptions for 67 yards...Rashard Mendenhall
had 13 rushes for 70 yards for the Steelers and Faulk carried six times for 32

Is this compatible with the first ipad
- Asked by Mary A from Atlantic City
Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
I use it to listen to music through my macbook which isn't listed as one of the compatible devices on the product page but works just fine because it's really just a great sounding bluetooth speaker.
I believe the first gen iPad has bluetooth. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
But If you want to make sure, go to any apple store and bring your iPad and try it.
- Answered by Michael A from Jersey City
Yes, ANY bluetooth product with AirPlay capabilities can connect. Then ANY product with a line out (headphone jack) can also connect.
