Border gate opened for first time in years
History was made at 12:13 p.m. Sunday afternoon at Border Field State Park as about 100 people on both sides of the international border looked on.
It was then that a rusty steel door in the border fence between the United States and Mexico swung open, to a round of cheers and applause. It marked the first time since the construction of the fence in the mid-1990s that the door had opened.
History lasted about two minutes. That was how long the gate stayed open, long enough for a father to step through and embrace his daughter on the other side, and for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and his fiance Bronwyn Ingram to step though and say a few words. Then the gate swung close.
The events were part of a unique celebration at Friendship Park, the small park right on the border that for years was the scene of weekend reunions between family members in the U.S. and Mexico. For years since the park opened in 1971 with a dedication by First Lady Pat Nixon, families met there and could hold hands and pass items through what was a simple chain link fence.
The imposing steel fence was constructed in the 1990s and reinforced and rebuilt since then, said Enrique Morones, the founder and president of the group Border Angels, which organized Sunday's event. A second fence a few hundred feet north was built about a decade later. Access to the park was restricted and all but closed off in 2009 by the Department of Homeland Security as it constructed more fencing.
It reopened last year on a limited basis, enough to allow families to visit with relatives in Mexico through the fence. However, thick steel mesh on the fence right on the border makes it difficult to see through and almost impossible to touch each other.
Morones said the Border Patrol had agreed a couple of weeks ago to open the gate on Sunday briefly. It took some work with grease and blow torches to loosen the hinges and bolts, he said.
"This is Friendship Park, the heart and soul of the immigration issue," he said.
Border Angels were planning an event at the park for the commemoration of Children's Day, which falls on April 30 in Mexico, and is an annual holiday to celebrate children. The group planned to distribute toys to children on the Tijuana side to mark the day.
What they had not planned on was Luis Angulo, who had come to the fence to see his five-year-old daughter Jimena on the Tijuana side. The two spoke through the fence when the park opened at 11 a.m.
Then when the gate was opened, Angulo was allowed to step through and grab his daughter in an embrace. He said later it was the first time he had hugged her. The girl was born in Tijuana and he said he has not put the paperwork together to bring her over.
"I think it's a miracle," he said afterward.

I tried to use Windows 8 on a HTPC and i'm struggling with being able to navigate the start screen without using a mouse/keyboard.
The Xbox 360 controller doesn't work (real missed opportunity?!) and i'm wondering is it possible to set it up to run from a TV remote control, in the same way you can control a raspberry pi/raspbmc with a tv remote via hdmi?
Essentially what I would like to be able to do is use a controller to navigate the start screen to load either steam/netflix etc. Is there a solution?

1981 Chevrolet Corvette Specifications
Just because you're building a mouthwatering Corvette doesn't mean you have to be without your favorite ride for months or years. In fact, we found one Corvette owner who transformed his '81 coupe into a trophy magnet over the course of nine years while enduring no more than six weeks of separation anxiety at any stage during its customization.
"I've wanted a Corvette since I saw one racing when I was just a teenager," George Gilby, a 48-year-old Health, Safety, and Environmental officer in Aspley, Queensland, Australia tells us. "It was an early-'70s model, and that shape has always been my favorite."
Fast forward nearly 25 years, and Gilby found it was finally time to make his fiberglass fantasy come true. He turned to Corvette-import and -conversion experts Corvette Queensland (now called Performax International) in Gympie, Queensland, and asked them to source an '82 Vette for him. "Their buyers searched overseas and couldn't locate one that suited me, so I changed my priorities and asked them to locate an '81, but only if it was a four-speed manual," Gilby recalls.
Then, and only then, did his delectable dream begin to take form. Corvette Queensland located a Beige-over-Camel '81 L81 model in Huntington Beach, California, exported it to Australia, and, at Gilby's request (and in keeping with the Australian government's regulations), converted to right-hand drive.
That gave Gilby plenty of time to learn more of his Vette's model-year history. A total of 40,606 Corvettes were produced in 1981, and two factories were utilized: St. Louis and a new assembly plant built in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Gilby's was one of the first 8,995 units to roll off the BG production line, and, like its siblings, it was treated to a brand-new type of paint--an enamel basecoat and top clearcoat. [St. Louis was still painting Corvettes with lacquer in 1981.] Like all '81 models built at both factories, his came with Computer Command Control, which automatically adjusted the engine's ignition timing and air-fuel ratio for optimum performance.
After taking delivery of his Corvette in March 1999, Gilby faced a difficult choice. Specifically, should he start living the dream he had waited more than a quarter-century to see come true, or delay gratification and send the Corvette out for customization?
It didn't take him long to make his decision. "I wanted to personalize my Corvette, so keeping it original wasn't an option. Although I had waited 30 years for it, I sent it in for its paint job one week after I purchased it. At that point, I made up my mind that I would modify any and everything on it," he says.
Nambour Smash Repairs in Nambour provided the award-winning finish. First, the shop's techs stripped the Corvette of its multiple layers of paint, revealing a fiberglass body that was in surprisingly good condition. With that done, they shot the car in a Competition Yellow hue good enough to rival the paintwork found on Australia's finest, and most expensive, custom Corvettes.
Next came an engine freshening. Nev Derrick from Cardiff Garage, also in Nambour, retained the block's existing 0.030 overbore and mild street cam, but ground the crank, added fresh rings and bearings, and reassembled the engine. The stock heads were left unmodified. Derrick completed the long-block assembly with an Edelbrock Performer intake, a Holley 650 double-pumper carburetor, an MSD ignition, 9mm wires, Splitfire spark plugs, and Hooker headers with 1 -inch primaries. The remainder of the exhaust comprises 2 1/2-inch pipes, dual mufflers, and polished stainless-steel tips jutting out from below the rear bumper.

ERIN, Tenn. — Mike West gets weekly deliveries to his home in Erin. Wednesday morning when he opened a box he was surprised to find thousands of dollars of Tennessee Lottery scratch off tickets.
They package of tickets sat on top of several other items inside a large box that was left on his doorstep.
"I thought this here must be my games, I got some X Box games," West explained.
But when he opened the plastic envelope he discovered the lottery tickets inside.
"I just started seeing game after game. It's literally millions of dollars in games, " West said.
At first, West could not believe what he found inside the box.
"My reaction was, I hit the lottery," West said while laughing. "But then again, I know this wasn't mine, I know it ain't mine," he admitted.
West had a theory of how the tickets wound up in his possession. The packing tape on top of that box was not very secure.
"So they set that down there and being as heavy as it was, it went down in there," according to West.
West admitted to the excitement he felt when he first discovered the tickets.
"Temptation was there. I mean who ain't got that kind of temptation. It was in my lap, it was addressed to me," he said.
The package was actually addressed to a Sudden Service store on Riverside Drive in Clarksville.
When a spokesperson from the Tennessee Lottery learned of this mistaken delivery she made it known the tickets are not valid until a lottery retailer activated them.
West worked to find a way to return the tickets to the Tennessee Lottery.
"I want it to get back where it was suppose to and do the job it's supposed to, put some kids in college," West said.
A spokesman for UPS, the company that delivered the package to West, said the company was not yet made aware of a mistakenly delivered package.
Two representatives from the Tennessee Lottery traveled to Erin Wednesday night and picked up the tickets from West.

Peter Beagrie
Football League Expert & Columnist
Maine attraction
Peter Beagrie talks Sheffield United and Ipswich - and reveals his favourite Football League grounds.
Last Updated: 04/10/12 9:39am
Peter Beagrie is here every week on skysports.com answering YOUR Football League questions.
The former winger, who played over 770 games, representing clubs in all four tiers of the English footballing pyramid, including Manchester City, Everton, Bradford, Sheffield United, Scunthorpe, and Grimsby, forms part of the Sky Sports punditry team for all the big matches in the Championship, League One and League Two.
So if you have a poser for Peter, whether it's about your team, a player, match or incident that has caught your eye, or a wider point on the Football League, make sure you send it in.
Read below for this week's column where Beags gives his take on Paul Jewell's toils at Ipswich and names his favourite Football League grounds...

2. Use the feedback form at the bottom of this page
Peter, How do you think Sheff Utd have started and what do you make of the additions of Dave Kitson and Paul Gallagher? Thanks, Sam Jenkinson (Sheff Utd fan)
BEAGS SAYS: United's results are among the first I look for having spent a couple of seasons being roared on by the Blades faithful. After the massive disappointment of losing in last year's League One play-off final and subsequently seeing star players Matthew Lowton and Stephen Quinn depart, I think 'solid but not spectacular' is how I would describe United's start to the season. The unbeaten run shows consistency and the recruitment of Dave Kitson and Paul Gallagher guarantees goals, experience and knowledge that could turn the side's draws into wins. I also think a couple of home victories will turn Bramall Lane into a fortress as it has to be if United are to capitalise on the absence of Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield from the division. If Ryan Flynn can have a big season and Tony McMahon can produce the type of delivery from full-back that he is capable of, the Blades should have a very good chance of automatic promotion - and save you the suffering of the dreaded playoffs.
Hi Peter, Last week you said Alan Shearer was the favourite to replace Steve Kean at Blackburn, but now that Kean has gone who do you think deserves a chance in the Ewood Park hotseat? I want Tim Sherwood or perhaps Henrik Larsson. Cheers, Charlie Pearson (Blackburn fan)
BEAGS SAYS: There are a whole host of out of work and available managers with varying levels of experience. I would hazard a guess that the Venky's credibility rests on this appointment; from the debacle of Sam Allardyce's sacking to the promotion of Steve Kean to the hotseat the owners have shown they have no football acumen whatsoever. Figures like Shearer, Sherwood and (Bernd) Schuster have been mentioned, along with Alex McLeish, Mick McCarthy and Derek McInnes. I'm sure your club will be looking for an experienced manager to capture the fans' imagination thus creating an instant feel-good factor, but continuity after so many mangers in such a short space of time is key. I would like to see Alan Curbishley back in the dugout, maybe as a mentor to an up-and-coming, hungry number two, but what I would say is that the Blackburn job is a stellar one and for the fans' sake I hope the right appointment is made. Then supporters will start flooding back and Rovers can build on a solid start to the season.
Hi Peter, What was your favourite Football League stadium that you ever played at? Cheers, Billy Samuels (Accrington fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Thanks for your question, which I had to give a lot of thought to. Having played 24-years as a pro I have a lot to choose from. I remember lots of grounds for all sorts of reasons - debuts, results, promotions - so I cheated a bit and picked a couple of my favourite stadiums. Man City's old ground, Maine Road, was always brilliant to visit; it was the widest pitch throughout the Football League and in immaculate condition, with not a bobble in sight. As a winger, you could isolate full-backs and covering defenders were always miles away so I always looked forward to playing there. I also relished going to Molineux; there was a big, pristine playing surface and I always played well there and got results. One game in particular was on the last day of the 1998/99 season when my Bradford team needed a victory to gain automatic promotion to the Premier League and Wanderers required a win to cement a place in the play-offs. It was a pulsating game which we won 3-2; I scored, missed a penalty and then proceeded to cry in a bathtub afterwards with the other geriatric of the team, Stuart McCall, and some champagne. Happy days!
Hi Peter, Bristol City have made a pretty solid start to the season, but do you reckon they are more likely to be pushing for the play-offs or fighting relegation come the season's end? Kevin Parsons (Bristol City fan)
BEAGS SAYS: I am surprised at City's good start to the season as I imagined they would struggle. If they manage to hold onto Albert Adomah and get a couple of loans with the same quality as summer signing Sam Baldock, they should save you from a nail-biting finish to the season. Robins fans will know the important results are the ones against Barnsley, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Peterborough, sides with budgets and squads as small as theirs. With Leicester, Bolton, Burnley and Hull next up for the Bristol boys, they will have done very well if they are still mid-table after those games - but always remember how far City have come over the last few years.
Hi Peter, Unlike a lot of Ipswich fans I like Paul Jewell; I admire his honesty and humour. But do you think he should have achieved more at Ipswich since he took over as manager in 2011? Marcus Jones (Ipswich fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Marcus, I am looking forward to Sky Sports' live Championship game on Saturday night between your boys and Cardiff (5pm). I think Paul Jewell himself would admit that he should be doing better, but the Ipswich job is one of the best in football, in that you are given time and money. Roy Keane had an incredible stay of execution and Paul is being shown the same loyalty form the board members. They have had an unbelievable turnaround in players over the last few years, but the problem that stands out has been the inability to defend properly for a period of games, particularly from set-pieces. Paul still has the belief that he has the squad and managerial capabilities to turn the season around and as a former manager of mine I hope he can. Results like Tuesday's 1-1 draw at high-flying Brighton will help build confidence and they will need that in abundance when they face the attack-minded Cardiff.
Hi Peter, Who do you think is the best goalkeeper outside of the Premier League? Phil Northolt (Huddersfield fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Crystal Palace's Julian Speroni and Paddy Kenny of Leeds really stand out for me; both lack height but have all the other skills needed to be a top goalie - experience, distribution, shot-stopping abilities, and communication. They are automatic names on the team sheet for their managers and a defender's dream due to their organisational talents; they are like a fine wine and get better with age. I also rate Huddersfield stopper Alex Smithies and I may have to rethink my answer if he returns to his brilliant best after his battle with injury. Once he gets more confident at barking orders to his back four, he will get even better. Congratulations on your positive start to the season by the way, Phil.

The GOP's Racial Dog Whistling and the Social Safety Net
You've no doubt heard the famous quote about race in politics spoken by the late Lee Atwater, the most skilled Republican strategist of his generation. Liberals have cited it for years, seeing in it an explanation, right from the horse's mouth, of how contemporary Republicans use "issues" like welfare to activate racial animus among white voters, particularly in the South. Race may be an eternal force in American politics, but its meaning and operation change as the years pass. It's time we took another look at Atwater's analysis and see how it is relevant to today, because it doesn't mean what it once did. Atwater may have been extraordinarily prescient, though not in the way most people think.
If a certain word unsettles you, you might want to read something else with your coffee, but it's important we have Atwater's quote, spoken in 1981 during an interview with a political scientist, in front of us:
"You start out in 1954 by saying, 'Nigger, nigger, nigger.' By 1968 you can't say 'nigger'—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states' rights, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… 'We want to cut this,' is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than 'Nigger, nigger.'"
As Rick Perlstein explained, the common interpretation of the quote—that Atwater was describing how the GOP shrewdly encourages and benefits from racism among voters while maintaining deniability for doing so—isn't quite correct. Heard in context, it seems clear that the point Atwater was trying to make was that the GOP was evolving beyond racism, even if some of its favored policies were still better for some races than others. Eventually, the deniability wouldn't just be plausible, it would be genuine.
At the time, this was more than a little ridiculous. Just a year before, Ronald Reagan had opened his campaign for president in Philadelphia, Mississippi, site of the murder of civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, then spent a good deal of his campaign talking about welfare queens. Four years before, Reagan had told Southern audiences about how frustrating it was to stand in line at the grocery store behind a "strapping young buck" buying T-bone steaks with food stamps. And seven years after the interview, Atwater would join with Roger Ailes to mastermind the "Willie Horton" strategy for George H.W. Bush, in which the mug shot of a menacing black convict became as ubiquitous in the campaign as flags at a Fourth of July parade.
But in 2014, Atwater's vision of a GOP evolving on race has finally come to pass, though not precisely in the way he intended. Back then, attacks on safety net programs like welfare and food stamps were used by Republicans as a means to activate barely contained racist feelings, with the knowledge that the more hostility white voters felt toward minorities, the better it would be for Republican candidates. Today, we see the reverse: Stirring up a bit of subconscious racism, or attacking the rights of minorities in much more practical ways, is a means to attack the safety net and undermine government.
Take, for example, the issue of voting. When the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, it was meant to dismantle the system under which white Southerners had kept blacks from exercising their right to vote, a system created to maintain white supremacy. And when the Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the law last year, Republican states rushed to rewrite their laws to do things like require ID in order to vote. Republican states all over the country have cut back on early voting, making sure to eliminate it on the Sunday before election day, when many black churches conduct "souls to the polls" voting drives after service. In Arizona and Kansas, Republicans even passed laws requiring that you not just document who you are but provide proof you're a citizen in order to vote, laws that were just upheld by a federal judge.
Are the people who are going to be disenfranchised by a requirement for proof of citizenship going to be disproportionately minority? Of course they are. But that's not the reason Republicans are so eager to impose these requirements. The reason is that the disenfranchised voters will disproportionately be Democrats. If there were a way to just as easily keep large numbers of Democrats from the polls without harming minorities particularly, they'd be perfectly happy to adopt that method instead. That's why, for instance, in Texas the voter ID law passed by a Republican legislature and signed by Governor Rick Perry says that a gun license is a valid form of identification, but a student ID issued by a Texas university isn't. When a legislature engineers a "racial gerrymander" to pack as many black voters into as few districts as possible, the goal isn't white supremacy, it's Republican supremacy. The result may be bound up in race, but the intent is pure partisan power politics.
And when Paul Ryan starts talking about how "We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work," the racial implications may be perfectly clear (it's the "inner city," i.e. the place where black people live, that has a "culture" of laziness, as opposed to the places where there are a lot of poor white people). But Ryan's real goal isn't to get you mad at black people, it's to get you mad at the safety net. I have no trouble believing Ryan, in a way, when he says that race was not the heart of his intent. The man who once said that "the reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand" is surely motivated primarily by a Randian contempt for the "takers" who might need help with food or health insurance, whatever color their skin.
Today's GOP is a place where open expressions of racism are far less tolerated, no one talks about "strapping young bucks" anymore, and the next Willie Horton is presented with more subtlety—and deniability—than ever. How much of that is because the mainstream blowback from blatantly racial appeals is just too high (just look at all the flack Ryan got), and how much because of a sincere change in perspective? It's almost impossible to say. But if America's blacks and Hispanics woke up tomorrow and starting voting 60 percent Republican, the party's leaders would welcome them with open arms, then call an emergency session of every Republican-run state legislature to get rid of all those voter ID laws.
Of course, that won't happen any time soon, so Republicans will continue to pass laws limiting minorities' ability to vote, and offer roundabout appeals aimed, some more directly than others, at the darker places where people's less generous feelings about race lie. Were he alive today, Lee Atwater would probably say, "See? I told you so."

I'm a progressive, but I'm also a "racial dog whistle skeptic."
When I ask for proof that Republicans are really using coded language in this way, all I get are a lot of OTHER Lefties saying Republicans do this, which hardly proves the case.
And citing Lee Atwater and the Southern strategy falls far short of proving that a Republican politician giving a speech today is using code words when he or she tries to talk about welfare. I think that's just ridiculous.
In my book, the whole dog-whistle thing is an urban legend that just sounds good to Lefties.
From hanging around at conservative websites, it strikes me that conservatives rarely bring up race, except to complain about being called racists. I really don't think today's Righties are that concerned with the subject.
I suspect the dog-whislte idea rests on circular thinking: you know Republicans are racists because they use coded racist terms, and you know they use coded racist terms because you know they're racists.
Mon, 2014-03-24 19:09
Thank you for thinking outside of the box. You're right on all accounts! Why can't their be more progressives like you who can at least be reasonable so we wont have to argue about racism simply just to change the subject, which it seems is all people who bring up 'dog whistling' want to do.

..except for the fact that The Republicans seem to be caught every other week sending out emails or telling jokes that refer to black people in the pejoritive, or describing the POTUS as a "very urban President"....or outright admitting that these emerging slew of ridiculous voting laws will infact disenfranchise black voters....or having to go through the trouble of featuring a seminar on "How not to be called a Racist".
...and what exactly is it that you fail to get about the concept of a Political Party/Movement that invented a strategy that is still in play today that bascially boils down to scape-goating, demonizing, and harming people of color to get votes.....pretty much makes them a bunch of racists who inject racism into their proposed policies and legislation? ....and oh yeah....you are no progressive...that much is obvious.

Interesting article, especially the phrase "Today's GOP is a place where open expressions of racism are far less tolerated, no one talks about "strapping young bucks" anymore, and the next Willie Horton is presented with more subtlety—and deniability—than ever". What I find interesting is that you aren't commenting on where there are actual open expressions of racism...which is in the Democratic Party. Remember (I'm paraphrasing) "he's intelligent and doesn't speak with a Negro dialect" (Harry Reid on Barack Obama); the "Indians that own 7=11's" (Joe Biden), etc. There are any number of such statements but they are always brushed off in the "understanding" that those on the Left couldn't be racist. I suppose if you keep ignoring them and pretending they were never said then it becomes easier to believe.

I think it's so totally cool that liberals can read people's minds and tell what they're REALLY thinking when they say stuff. And how awesome is it that they don't even have to be in the same room to do it! It's like they can even do it by listening to them on the TV and best of all, liberals can even do it when people write stuff down!
I mean how else could us unwashed folks know what people mean when they talk or write stuff? It's not like we could just listen to the words they say or read what they write and try to figure it out on our own. Geez. I am so grateful I could just bust a gut.
I wonder where can I go to learn to read minds?

Liberals know "dog whistling" because they invented it. They recognize it every time it is used because they practice it.
They find racism and sexism in comments that others make because they by accusing others of the crime it somehow redeems them from the racist and sexist thoughts and feelings they have. IE, they project their own internal feelings onto others in an attempt to free themselves from those feelings.
Unfortunately, it never works, internally they still encounter those feelings, so they must find more and more targets to blame in hopes no-one finds out how they truly feel.

Looks like this article is flushing out the people who can't wait to tell everyone it is actually the Democrates and liberals who are the true racists. Always ready to use the disclaimer "I'm not a racist but..." or "we need to get rid of entitlements because you know who really uses them" wink-wink. The latest is the dog whistle codeword "Thug" when people don't want to use the word "nigger" in public. Republican code talkers know just what to say to hit the right buttons.
Mon, 2014-03-24 23:49
Seems like someone is a litttle overly defensive. Perhaps those who say liberals are the racists have hit close to home. Just think, which party talks about race all the time? Which party tries to scare minorities with fake voter suppression stories (voter id laws would affect whites more than blacks)? Which party has candidates who change their accebts when speaking to a minority audience, or use true dog whistle language in telling them they will "put ya'll back in chains? "
Mon, 2014-03-24 21:19
"The reason is that the disenfranchised voters will disproportionately be Democrats."
Are you actually implying that Democrat voters, and especially if they are from a minority, are dummer than Republicans? That they would not be smart enough to put an ID in their pocket? Outrageosuly insulting!!!

"..."takers" who might need help with food or health insurance..."
The problem isn't people who need help, the problem is with people who just find it easier to be helped.
In any population, there going to be a few, a very few, who just can't make it without help. The problem is that the vast majority of Americans getting "help" don't really need it. They want the "help," and there are politicians perfectly willing to give it to them--in exchange for a vote--but they don't really need it. There really no excuse for any able-bodied, able-minded, adult to be demanding a living from society.

Umm, you do know that Willie Horton was first brought forward by Al Gore against Dukakis, right? So was Al Gore a racist? Was he using dog whistles?
Articles like these show the projection that liberals use. They are the ones who see race in everything. Most conservatives don't care about race, and do not factor in race when determining polices. But Democrats survive only because of identity politics, without them they would lose every election. Remember how they said Tea Party people yelled racist things before the Obamacare vote? It never happened, and there was a $10,000 reward for anyone who could provide proof that it happened. No one ever came forward and collected the money. And of course, who can forget the fake war on women, started by George Stephanopolous and carried by the rest of the media?
Tue, 2014-03-25 09:01
The big problem with all your arguments is that the Democrat Party always was, is now, and forever shall be the party of racism. If you don't know the history, better investigate and learn it. Even now, the Democrats refuse to hold Barack Obama and Eric Holder accountable because they are black and the bigotry of low expectations is apparent.

That's why, for instance, in Texas the voter ID law passed by a Republican legislature and signed by Governor Rick Perry says that a gun license is a valid form of identification, but a student ID issued by a Texas university isn't.
Or perhaps it's because the Texas concealed handgun license is issued by Department of Public Safety, and tied to the licensees permanent residence address (which determines the voting precinct), and the school-issued student ID is neither.
But if America's blacks and Hispanics woke up tomorrow and starting voting 60 percent Republican, the party's leaders would welcome them with open arms, then call an emergency session of every Republican-run state legislature to get rid of all those voter ID laws.
Or perhaps the eeevuuul Republicans would just make sure the minorities all had IDs. I'd love to hold black and Hispanic CHL classes. Plus, considering how many activities require a driver's license or state ID card, isn't it discrimination if minorities don't have one?
Tue, 2014-03-25 23:13
This article strikes me as a not very illuminating exercise in contrarianism. If black and Hispanic Americans suddenly flocked to the Republicans, Republican-controlled states would roll back voter ID? Really? Why do you think African-Americans and, increasingly, Latinos don't vote Republican? And do you really think white Mississippians, say, are going to line up to embrace the new diversity in their party? That's either disingenuous or really dumb. I understand that many Republicans aren't especially racist, but their leadership definitely understands the importance of race to the core Republican constituency in the South. The Republicans could not have pursued their assault on the norms of civil society in America as far as they have done without extensive use of racism as a political issue. Do you even understand what the "Obama is so dumb he has to use a teleprompter" thing is all about? A really sorry piece of work.

The Orca Dama Gold is the bike for the woman who values performance first and foremost. Its materials set it apart from the Silver and Bronze models. The difference is in the physical properties of the raw carbon. Orbea's Gold grade, high modulus carbon fiber is stiffer, less dense, and has higher tensile strength. This allows Orbea's engineers to design a racing bicycle that offers an optimum blend of high strength, stiffness, and light weight. When you add in the Orca's aerodynamic efficiency, you'll see that it is intended to be the ultimate road machine.
Orbea molds the Orca Gold frame and fork as a monocoque. Each of these is a homogenous structure without bonded joints where failures, either structural or cosmetic, can occur. With fibers running continuously along the length of the tubes and through the intersections, the total strength of the bike is increased along with the durability.
Orbea builds the Orca Dama with a few angles and measurements tailored to optimize the fit for women's proportionality. The top tube lengths are shorter for a given size. This allows you to reach the bars more easily without feeling over-stretched. They also have a slacker head angle and corresponding fork offset. The reason is to lengthen the distance between the bottom bracket and the front hub. This reduces the chance for toe overlap when you steer the bike at low speeds, increasing your comfort and safety.
The Orca has an angular, muscular appearance with flat planes and sometimes pronounced edges where other bikes use more rounded shapes. Its design is the result of FEA (finite element analysis) and Orbea's intent to create resistance to flex in critical areas like the bottom bracket, seat tube, and head tube junction. Orbea uses what they term as SSN (size specific nerve) technology to produce frames that offer the same comfort and performance characteristics across the size range. More specifically, each frame size has specific carbon lay-ups and tube dimensions.
Though stiffness is a key priority, Orbea uses some particular shaping in the seat stays and fork legs of the Orca Gold to absorb road vibration. Take a close look at the abrupt bends above the full-carbon dropouts. Their shaping allows some shear movement between the long axes of the straight segments. While this improves comfort over coarse road surfaces, it has no effect on the efficiency of the rear triangle with regards to power transfer. Don't forget, this is the bike that the pros ride.
The Orca Gold uses a BB30 bottom bracket and a tapered head tube/steerer. Both of these details add performance by increasing stiffness where it counts. At the bottom bracket, you'll enjoy a 30% stiffer and lighter aluminum spindle compared to standard external bearing cranksets. Another benefit is the increased heel and ankle clearance. Do you wear out the inside surfaces of your cycling shoes against the crankarms? If you answered yes, BB30 is for you. And if you already have a typical crankset, you can easily adapt it to fit the BB30 shell, no problem. The tapered head tube allows the use of a 1.5" lower bearing. The increased inside diameter of the bearing allows the carbon fiber steerer tube to be oversized as well. This increases the torsional and bending stiffness. This is a big part of what makes the Orca feel so stable through sweeping high speed corners.
Another difference between the Orca Gold and silver framesets is the seatpost that comes with each model. This Gold version is supplied with an Orca Monolink style post that allows the use of Selle Italia's latest saddles with their Friction Free design. It's easy to set up and provides a rock solid perch for your saddle. If you prefer another brand or style of saddle, you can use the supplied adapters to fit typical dual-rail saddles. Both models use a sculpted aluminum clamp that relies on an internal wedge to secure the post from sliding up or down.
The Orbea Orca Dama Gold Road Bike Frame is available in Red/white or White/pink and comes in four tailored sizes from 47cm to 53cm. It comes with a matching Orca tapered monocoque full-carbon fork, integrated FSA headset, and carbon seatpost. It also includes a Gore cable set for ultra-smooth shifting. The frame is designed for super low profile cables, and the Gore lining keeps the cable from rubbing the clear coat off, so you'll want to continue to use lined cables. The Orca requires a braze-on front derailleur. All Orbea bicycle frames come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defect.

The pattern for the Forties Chevron quilt in my last post can be found here for FREE (thanks Jane)!
I got new patterns back from the printer today. I wrote the patterns back in November/December knowing I'd be too busy after baby arrived…so its really nice to have them finished and in my hands.
After the kids are tucked in bed I've been sewing and watching Downton Abby on my Kindle. I wish it would never end…except I can't stand Thomas or the curly bangs maid.
Yesterday I started another double hourglass quilt…this time using a template I got from Jodi's shop. This template uses 2 1/2" strips, so I figure if I make a block like this every time I have extra strips instead of throwing them in the scrap bin…I'll have a fab quilt eventually.
The blocks square up to 8", so luckily I won't have to make 10000 of them and they go together really fast.
Because I can't post without a Sophie picture:
I love snuggling with her in the mornings.

A songwriters' festival, Nashville songwriter Will Rambeaux said, is a chance to "reconnect to that skinny 18-year-old who wanted to be a rock star."
Rambeaux and nearly two dozen other songwriters will descend on the Forgotten Coast Oct. 19-20 for the fourth annual Blast on the Bay Songwriters' Festival.
"We love it down there," said Rambeaux, who was talking from the set a new Nashville-based television series in which he plays, surprise, a songwriter. "Songwriters do this all year round, all over the country. These kind of festivals are growing.
"Port St. Joe is what I'd call a boutique festival. It is not Key West, where they have something like 300 songwriters and which is the granddaddy of them all. But we keep it small, because we like it that way. The community, the venues, has their charms. We love it."
In a sense, Rambeaux could be considered the godfather of the Blast on the Bay event. After the closing of the paper mill and a move to attracting tourists to Gulf County, Rambeaux's nephew, who had grown up attending songwriters' festival with Rambeaux, suggested a festival along the Forgotten Coast.
"When it was first proposed I said, 'Port St. What?'" Rambeaux said with a laugh. "I never heard of the place. But I came down and scouted the area and just fell in love with it.
"I thought this is the best-kept secret in Florida."
The initial festival proved such a success that is has steadily grown, from a dozen artists the first year to nearly two-dozen this year. They will be performing at venues such as Sunset Coastal Grill, the Haughty Heron, Thirsty Goat, Toucan's, Lookout Lounge, Provisions and Mango Marley's.
As with each prior year, there will be a songwriters' workshop on Saturday of the event at Dockside Café and the event will wrap up with hugely-popular Sunday afternoon jam session at the Indian Pass Raw Bar.
"We love doing the workshop," Rambeaux said. "We get a lot of people, it is very informal, and there are some good people who come out because they love songwriting and love music. It is great and you can get some ideas."
The beauty of it all for the public, the performances are all free beyond any door charge by the venue.
For the songwriters, the festival feed several appetites.
One is networking, Rambeaux said. A second is the chance to bounce ideas off on another and write some songs. Another is a chance to see a songwriter you may not have had a chance to see in the stratified world of Nashville, Rambeaux said.
And, finally, there is the joy of picking up the guitar and being that teenager longing to be a rock star again.
"The big secret is that all songwriters are closet performers," Rambeaux said. "In Nashville, you don't get that chance to perform. Your job is to be in a room and write songs.
"But at a festival we get to do what we started out doing and what we love to do. You get to go back to being that skinny 18-year-old who wanted to be a rock star. That is so great."
A dynamic that has grown uniquely during the growth of Blast on the Bay is the event's connection to the Semper Fi Sisters, wives, mothers, grandmothers, sisters and aunts of deployed military personnel, who hold their annual "Beach Blast" at the same time as the festival.
The two events have grown together, founded in the same year. The Semper Fi Sisters provide volunteer work at some of the songwriting festival venues, some of the songwriters will perform during the SFS's "Boxes of Love" packing party, and the two events are partial sponsors of the other.
"They are great girls and we love playing for them and supporting them," Rambeaux said. "In every era there are young people who put on that uniform to save the rest of our (rear ends). I wasn't in the military myself, but I have come to really appreciate those who serve."

Are you ready to Barcelona's Carnival? A party where you'll feel great!
This year Carnival is from 16 to 22 February! Don't miss the most colourfull party in Spain!
Carnival is a week´s time of joy and exuberance, before Ash Wednesday. People dress up in special costumes and disguises and there are parades and events everywhere in the city. In Barcelona, the carnival begins on ´Greasy Thursday´, ´Jueves Ladero´. This day is celebrated by eating good and excessive meals. The big carnival parade is being held during the weekend. On Ash Wednesday, Carnival comes to an end with the funeral of the sardine. The King of Carnival dies and is buried. Colorful costumes change to black clothes. On this day it is a tradition to eat fish.
16 February – The arrival of Carnival is held at the "Passeig del Born" where parade with his entourage and preceded by the ambassadors of imaginary nations. The king makes a proclamation of his reign and the empire of the carnival and pass to the first masks dance (from 17.30 to 21.00).
Feb. 18: Carnival parades are held in neighborhoods organized by institutions.
February 19: The main event of the carnival, in the Ribera neighborhood, including the masks dance, and the Great "Sarao", will have three parts: at 17.00, time for children, at 18.00, will place the carnival parade (Battle of Carnival) , and finally at 18.30, the "sarao" of carnival and masks dances at the courtyard of the "Convent de Sant Agustí", "Passeig del Born" and the lobby of the train station.
February 22: The Burial of the Sardine will be in the Ciutadella Park, with a set of activities for children.
All well and good, but if you are looking for a real party, you should go to Sitges night! Sitges is a village, just 30 minutes by train from Barcelona. Carnival is being celebrated way crazier and more eccentric in this village and the parade is a unique spectacle. Tuesday the 8th of February is the big party. People from everywhere in Spain come to Sitges, dress up and party in the streets till dawn.
And if you want to sleep somewere you can afford, Be Hostels is your Hostel! From only 10€ you can have a bed and breakfast with us!

Name: Tinted Silver Pink Hydrangeas
Colors: Tinted Silver Pink
Vase Life: 5-8 days, depending on care and handling
Availability: Available year round
Length: Whole Blossoms Hydrangeas are 16-26in long and come with one blooms per stem. Whole Blossoms Hydrangeas are packed and travel with individual water bags per stem.
Diameter: 4.7-7.0 inch Diameter
Arranging Tips: Hydrangeas are a great wedding flower choice for bride bouquets, cake decorations and centerpieces. Wholesale Hydrangeas are well combined in centerpieces and bouquets with roses, carnations, Chrysanthemums, Dahlias, Peonies, Garden Roses and Asiatic or Oriental lilies. Keep Hydrangeas away from fruit and vegetables since they are ethylene sensitive.
If a chosen color and/or variety is unavailable at the time of shipping, Whole Blossoms will match the color and/or variety as closely as possible. Farm growing conditions, weather conditions, market demand, and other general forces may result in the unavailability of the flowers shown without notice.
While online photos shown are representations of flowers available for sale, actual colors and specifications delivered may vary somewhat since flowers are a product of Mother Nature. Different browser types affect the outcome of displayed photos, and computer monitors may show differences in detail, definition, contrast, brightness, and color.
Your fresh Cut Tinted Hydrangeas will need to be hydrated upon arrival.
Unpack wholesale flowers as soon as you receive them and cut about one inch of the stem at an angle under water (with a sharp knife NOT scissors). Peel about 2-3 inches of the stem around (as though peeling a carrot) and make some incisions at the bottom of the stem to further enable hydration. Remove foliage that could fall under water to avoid bacteria to build-in and place the flowers in clean, fresh, warm, filtered water (100F-105F). Rehydrate for at least an hour before using and add floral preservative. If the flowers are not going to be displayed immediately, try to keep them in a fresh place preferably (45F-58F) and at least 80% humidity in fresh water with floral preservative. Replace water and floral preservative frequently to ensure long vase life. When storing your flowers, make sure that they are not moved from cold to hot or from hot to cold temperatures since drastic temperature changes will burn flowers.
Hydrangeas suffer from dehydration and water stress. Keep these flowers in water at all times since they need continuous hydration.
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE THE DELIVERY FOR THIS FLOWER? When placing your Hydrangea order, choose a delivery date 2-3 days prior to your wedding or event. If your Wedding or Event is on a Saturday, we recommend therefore scheduling your Hydrangeas for a Wednesday or Thursday delivery.
HOW LONG IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ORDER? We recommend that you order your Hydrangeas at least a month before your wedding or event to ensure product and colors availability.WILL MY FLOWERS BE FRESH SINCE THEY WILL ARRIVE A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR TO MY WEDDING OR EVENT? Our Hydrangeas travel with individual water feeding tubes to ensure proper hydration from the moment they are cut to the time you receive them. Whole Blossoms Flowers and Greens come directly from the farms. Your flowers are cut within 24 hours following harvest to ensure freshness. Whole Blossoms flowers and greens freshness is 100% Guaranteed upon arrival!
Your flowers will be delivered via FedEx and will require a signature request upon delivery. Tracking numbers will be emailed to you 1-3 days prior to delivery of your flowers.
Because Whole Blossoms is able to bypass traditional importers and wholesalers, Whole Blossoms is able to pass savings to you. In addition, our customers benefit from a longer flower vase life since flowers are shipped directly from the farms.
For latest status on your order, please go to the Track Your Order section located in the bottom menu or contact FedEx directly at 1.800.GO.FEDEX (1.800.463.3339).
Please ensure someone is available to receive your flowers from FedEx as flowers are perishable and require immediate proper care and handling. Flowers dropped off outside may expose flowers to excessive heat or cold which can wilt and/or kill flowers. Therefore, Whole Blossoms strongly recommends having someone available to assume receipt of flowers at the time of delivery.

The number of part-time workers has roughly doubled in the last few years. For most of those employees, that means short hours, erratic schedules and low pay. Host Michel Martin talks with NPR's Marilyn Geewax, and fast-food worker Amere Graham, about the high costs of part-time work.

With a new year usually come new promises. New commitments are also often made, only to be broken later on. But Danger Mouse (DM) will not be broken, nor will we break our promise to give you the best real-world dyno tests with it this year. Although we've got big plans for DM, rest assured that everything we do will still be in the scope of things you can duplicate yourself, usually for just a little extra cash.
When DM was first envisioned, we planned to test any and all combinations that could be thought up, in order to see what worked and what was a load of you know what. Some of our tests have worked very well, and DM peaked has peaked with 480 hp on pump gas last year using an off-the shelf EFI system from F.A.S.T. and no power adders. Sure, we also made over 600 hp with a small Weiand blower, but the main scope of this project has always been motor-only power. We'll stay that way for most of this year, but there are a few HUGE surprises in store later on.
Back in DM Part 14, we first tested Holley's Street Avenger Throttle Body electronic fuel injection (TBI) and got results that were less than we'd hoped for (see: SC, November 2002). After that test was done, and following a string of steady power losses we'd been experiencing in the last few tests, we'd decided that DM had to come apart for inspection and rebuild. You might think that rebuilding a street engine after just one year of use is unnecessary, but keep in mind that DM lives on the dyno. And the dyno cell is a very harsh environment.
What we mean is that dyno pulls are made at wide-open throttle and there's usually nothing but idling in between. Imagine how your engine would feel if every time you warmed it up, all you did was mash the throttle and raced it for about 10 seconds and then idled around only to mash it again and again. Now try doing that about 1,000 times in a 12-month period and you'll understand why DM needed a rebuild.
Speed-O-Motive Takes ControlAlong with our decision to rebuild DM this year came a deal we struck with our friends over at Speed-O-Motive, who're installing a new DTS engine dyno as this is being written, to take over all the maintenance and testing duties for DM. That frees up time for our staff to pursue other life-affirming goals, like getting a life. The crew at Speed-O, from which now on they'll be referred to, were eager to accept the challenge, and rebuilt DM in less than 2 weeks to keep us on schedule. But, Speed-O's dyno was not ready for a test, so for the first test of 2004 we returned to Vrbancic Brothers Racing and bolted DM onto their DTS dyno to maintain consistency in our testing regime.
Before We BeginBefore we jump right into DM's latest test results, we wanted to go over the rebuild specs for you. DM had seen a lot of dyno pulls last year and its bearings showed it. So a new set of Speed-Pro bearings, along with a fresh set of file-fit Speed-Pro moly rings, were installed. Also, to correct the deck clearance problem DM has had since its beginning, (the piston pin height was too low, so the original set of pistons sat .050-inch down the bore, leaving a huge quench area), we installed a new set of forged Lunati pistons with more pin height to give DM a true "zero" deck.
Then a new set of World Products Sportsman II iron cylinder heads were bolted on and a new Lunati hydraulic roller cam was installed. We reused the same COMP Cams roller lifters, pushrods, and 1.6:1 rocker arms that'd become a stable of DM's past testing. To top things off, a new, coated Holley Street Avenger manifold (PN 300-36S) was installed and topped off with the same Holley HP750 carb we'd used back in Part 14. All of this was to give the Holley Street Avenger TBI fuel injection system we planned to retest a better chance at making some power gains.

Internets depend on millions of people all over the world to even exist. All parts that together make the thing must comply to local laws. If a country wants to screw people over, no one's going to change it ever. Google is going for their own agenda at best - not caring about anything else than continuing to increase shareholder value by keeping its business model as intact as possible, and political influence at worst, like it doesn't have enough of that already. And it's something that must not be allowed. Though people are gullible, they always need their imaginary freedom fighters and heroes that spit battle cries against the evil system. Unfortunately, amidst all the struggle and casualties no one has ever created a better system than its predecessor, and at the end of the day new freedom fighters have always risen to bring down the very foundation they had helped to build.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 06:25
Google is interested in a free (as in freedom) and open web because that's the best playground for their business. If governments or any other third party start setting up barriers for users, that'll make it harder for Google to collect info and profit from targeted advertisement.

They said that it will cost at least $250, possibly more as they don't intend on making a loss on each console sold like Microsoft/Sony did.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was $299 and the gamepad $100-125.
Ok they already stated the Gamepad comes with every Wii U as it is the main Gamepad for the unit and that ther would be no option to buy one separate they made that clear @ E3 if i am not mistaken so if it is $$250 or 299 it is the console and Gamepad for one price How dumb would it be if all ya got was the Console and no type or form of Controller specialy for the ones who are going Nintendo for the first time in along time who dont have any other compatible controllers at home .
