Get These, Skip These, Wait and See
I'm only speaking out of experience here, I'm not an expert but I've been through this enough times that I'd like to think I have some things figured out. We all know that every baby is different; they each have their own likes and dislikes and have no problem letting you know how they feel about things. My three are no exception. But I have found a few things to be … [Read more...]
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Little Bud has been blessed with a full (and I do mean FULL) head of the softest, most beautiful baby hair known to man. OK OK…maybe I am being a bit partial, but what mother doesn't think her child is the most beautiful/smartest/coolest kid ever?Truth be told, Big Bud was a baldy until he was 2. Of course I oohed and awwed over his sparse golden strands as if he was the … [Read more...]

Hall should be lynched. He has waived his right to a trial hasn't he?
Lynching in the south was a "crime" in response to the most barbaric of crimes. I have little doubt that the countless "innocent" nigras strung up on trees throughout the 19th and 20th centuries raped or attempted to rape white women. The lawyerous monkey-see-monkey-JEW blacks forget thousands of white men were strung up too.
But that's the point of black-jewish complaint. Negroes and the jews who constantly chime in on how "oy, horrible" the south was don't think raping white goyish women is a crime. They infact incourage it through rap-sales. That we object to the bestial rape and murder of our folk is the crime: "racism"!
The stigma attached to lynching should be removed. We can do this by mob lynching white degenerates such as Hall, again establishing the supremacy of biblical law and order, inducing real "shock and awe" (not that Bush jewish bullshit) on our criminal society. That will tell the other nations (races) within the united states territory not to fuck with us and that our laws are absolute.
It will make blacks and jews (and their Shabbos goy pets such as Bush and the congress) ph33r us once again. In a true government of the people the government should fear the people.
US Soldier, why are you "fighting them there" if negroes are incouraged by jewish-funded rap to rape your women here?
You should be at home defending your folk, not gay Israeli men and their bank accounts.
rumplemary, "American Culture" would classically include an understanding or at least a taste for the anglo-saxon American system of law which includes "innocent until proven guilty" along with congressional declaration of war instead of presidential dictate. Obviously as a society, we no longer want any of that.
There is no modern American culture. Just seperate peoples artificially joined as servants for the Israel-serving Mil-Industrial leviathan.
They have based his guilt on his look.
Just as a Russian skinhead attacks a Georgian. He doesn't care if the foreigner has assimilated to "Russian values". To the Russian bigot the Georgian's skin color is guilt of possessing a different culture.
Edwin Hall looks weird, he is a foreigner as far as the average American is concerned.
We are entering dark medieval times once again. Where people are judged just by how they look. And I am NOT against it. Besides to do so is futile. This modern age of "coming together" and "anti-racism" stands against hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and the primal nature of man is awakening worldwide by some strange cosmic force. The world is in a psychosis as they answer the old gods who have reformed in the clouds.
People are programmed by their genes to be TRIBAL, not rational.
LoneWolf: you are witnessing the fallacy of your democratic upbringing, the rabble aren't going to bother with it, not that it is even natural to them.
"Universal" platitudes of law, rights, and fairness mean nothing; these people were raised in the American school system where they "learned" little beyond "not to judge a man by the color of his skin", over and over and over again, with no room left for learning the foundation of what was ONCE republic and rules that ONCE guided it. If they even picked up anything they quickly dismiss it as a "racist system for keeping the brotherman down".
LoneWolf: Worry about your own folk and your own existance. American universalism is dead. If you have no culture and no alliegences (family is a good start) beyond "America" you're royally effed because this nation of mass-ignorance only now loosely connected through wars for lies and the lying rich people who wage them is going down.
Appealing to American values is utterly useless, we are a nation in name only.
The guilty till proven innocent crowd are practicing tribal law.
Tribalism was the law of the land in Europe prior to the 20th century.
Ideology was written on the skin. When a Greek incountered a Persian he knew he was peering at a completely different and perhaps adverse culture that was hostile to his own. Prejudice is natural and can not be removed from hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. And before you think prejudice is "Evil" (how could it be evil if it is instinct), we would not be in this bogus war for Iraq fighting for another tribe (Israel). If it weren't for this "anti-racism" B/S peddled by the same Israeli dual citizens, we would NOT be at war, but at peace in our secure lands.
I admit this guy looks different than my tribe, so I am instantly suspicious of him.
Forget black/white racism. People are racist tribally. But I say it is perfectly natural. I cannot condemn this pre-justice even though it is completely against "democracy".
Since Bush has ruined our economy, ruined our national cohesion by refusing to secure our border, put hundreds of thousands out of work, cut national healthcare, rewarded companies that shipped their workforce overseas, and engaged in genocidal war not of our interests or saftey all for his darling "Chosen People" (Israelis) the American populus has been forsaken by this administration and is left with nothing to turn to except family and bloodkinship ties. I expect more prejudices in the future.
Hall is not a Nord or Germanic dumbass. I said he was Australiod or Armenoid (degenerate jew) mix.
The soul is completely viewable in a Nord or Germanic, or in a symmetrical Slav such as Kelsey. I see nothing in the degenerate Hall. Exactly why we are a superior species, because we are soulfull, brotha.
Marriage is not a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. That this MARRIED couple did not conceive in their first 3 years is just creepy. Usually the desire to "just be friends" hits in the 50s, not at 20. The demon spawn, child of cain, was supposed to "save" the marriage. Now damien's curse is upon the earth.
The dude must have been trying to hide his pervese psychosexual behavior in the cover of wedlock.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Love the new look especially the buttons, very sleek.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.0). This user has a previous review of this add-on.
Thanks very much SallyV!
I needed to hear that. Sleek is such a nice word, it's exactly what I had in mind when I created those buttons.
Anyway, I'm very happy to hear positive feedback after the redesign. Making a change always needs some courage & there's also some stress transforming an inner vision into reality and sharing it with so many people. Positive feedback transforms the stress into happiness. Thanks for that.

The Walter Gerlach Livestock Show and Sale kicked off Monday with poultry and rabbit judging and continues through Thursday. A Northside ISD tradition since 1973, it features hundreds of Future Farmers of America and 4H students vying to impress judges and perhaps earn money, since the animals that "place" in the show — which also include goats, lambs, swine and steer — can be sold at an auction set for 11 a.m. Saturday. Last year's sales totaled more than $600,000 for students and scholarships. The event is at the Gerlach Show Barn at 18945 Babcock Road.

Considering that Joe Mauer is the franchise player for Minnesota's baseball team, I guess it's only fitting that he's going to have a set of twins. The Twins confirmed Wednesday night that Mauer and his wife Maddie are expecting their first children, and it will be a set of twins Mauer and his wife Maddie Bisanz were married in early December in St. Paul, where Mauer grew up. The 29-year-old catcher told the St. Paul Pioneer Press the following: "Obviously we're both really excited and couldn't be happier. Everything so far is good." Mauer signed and eight-year, $184 million extension back in 2010, which mean's he'll be with the Twins through 2018. After the Twins made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 MLB Draft, Mauer has spent his entire nine-year career in Minnesota, including an MVP season in 2009. Mauer is a five-time All-Star, three-time AL batting champion, three-time Gold Glove winner and a four-time Sliver Slugger Award winner. Last season he hit .319 with 10 home runs and 85 RBI. He won the 2009 American League MVP. Oddly enough, former Minnesota outfielder Michael Cuddyer's wife had twins after the 2011 season as well.

Indianapolis Colts running back Joseph Addai was listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans after returning to practice Friday. Addai was expected to miss his second consecutive game after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury. He was hurt in the first quarter of the Colts' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 9. The 28-year-old has 56 carries for 249 yards and one touchdown so far this season. Delone Carter and Donald Brown share carries in Addai's absence last week.

What one person thinks is love, another may think is infatuation or vice versa. How does one know he or she is in love? How is it possible to distinguish between the love of romance and the love shared between friends? In order to understand love, we need to first understand the two major types of love: romantic love and friendship love. People often define romantic love based on its Thesis statement (Uses classification to define difference from friendship love. Would you kiss your friend? Perhaps, but it is not necessarily the things you do with your the subject) romantic partner that makes your love romantic. Romantic love is often confused with infatuation because it is so all- consuming. Romantic lovers are usually on each other's minds.

People make large life decisions based on their romantic partners Paragraph One (Outlines because they can't imagine life without those people. the first category using Romantic love guides a person's mind and can sometimes example to define) cloud it as to what the right decision may be.

There is a line that friends may cross over, and to know that line is to know the difference between romantic love and friendship love. Friendship love is best described as a warm feeling between people. A person naturally wants to be around her friend, as friends like to do things together.

It is essential to find a unique selling point to market a destination, Ken Kelling, communications director for Visit London, tells Communicate magazine, Part II.
January 7, 2010 8:44 by Sam Potter
Click here to read Part I.
So is the main issue for marketing destinations nowadays safety?
Yes. We've done research on this, and you tend to find people have very different mindsets, ranging from someone who says it "absolutely does not make a blind bit of difference to the way that I approach life. Life is a risk and the whole world is a risk and I'm going to carry on doing what I do," right through to another set of people at the other end who may well be put off by going to a specific place because of something that has happened there. So you have to deal with different mindsets all the time.
For me the solution is about projecting confidence. In London's case the idea of life continuing as normal, business as usual. You have to have very confident messages and I think a lot of confident messages come from events, seeing crowds of people going about life as normal. After the bombings in July 2005, for example, there was a very specific program to, in September of that year, put a large number of events together where a large volume of people were going to be seen in central London. And once you've got that up and running, you've got something that's a counter projection to what those earlier images were. It's about life going on as normal. And I think you also have to lose a bit of the corporate-ness, you have to talk in very human terms. So when we're doing interviews around that particular subject I always talk very personally about what I'm doing, because when you're at a distance from something like that, all you ever see is the media images. You don't really hear about real life, you don't hear about everyday life, and you don't hear about thing's continuing. Part of our job is to get that across.

Generally, legends are made by acts of great heroism: beating back an enemy, rescuing the helpless, bringing justice to the oppressed.
Another component of heroism is simply in doing: committing acts and going forward.
Curious, then, that Joe Wilson, who died on May 17 at 77 years of age, is a legend in folklore, traditional arts and roots music when he was barely known to pick up a guitar.
HILLSVILLE — The Hale-Wilkinson-Carter Foundation will commemorate the 120th anniversary of George Lafayette Carter and Mayetta Wilkinson Carter's marriage with a wedding reception, dinner and program on May 30 at the Carter Home in Hillsville.
Carter was born Jan. 10, 1857, in Carroll County, one of the nine children of Walter Crockett Carter and Lucy Ann Jennings. Of his siblings, he and three of his sisters were the only children to survive past the age of 20.
Former Martinsville mayor and Democratic hopeful Kim Adkins announced her intention to run for the 20th District seat in U.S. Senate on May 2 at the gazebo in downtown Galax.
Adkins is challenging incumbent Republican Bill Stanley. The district includes Galax and part of Carroll County.
BAYWOOD — Authorities are still sorting out events surrounding a suspicious May 10 fire that gutted a Baywood family's mobile home, but police have arrested a neighbor they say shot into the home the previous evening.
Grayson County Sheriff's Office personnel responded around noon to a 250 Cold Springs Lane structure fire that a sheriff's office news release termed "suspicious in nature."
Families mingled with local heroes last Saturday during the annual H.E.R.O. Day event in Hillsville.
H.E.R.O. is an acronym for "Hearts Empowered to Rescue Others." Held at the Carroll County Recreation Park, the day-long event gave the community an opportunity to meet and talk with first responders, examine their equipment and view demonstrations of training exercises and procedures that are used in real emergencies.

LAZARUSthe man Jesus raised from the dead in one of the most extraordinary encounters with The Living Savior in all of Scripture. But the life of Lazarus holds interest well beyond this miraculous event. Living in Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus witnessed many of the most important events of Jesuss life and ministry.
Lazarus owned a vineyard and devoted his life to caring for its vines and fruit. But he encountered another manJesuswhose vineyard was the world, its fruit the eternal souls of men. When Lazaruss story and the story of Jesuss crucifixion and resurrection touch in When Jesus Wept, we are offered a unique vision into the power and comfort of Christs love.

ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Wonderful Biblical FictionDecember 29, 2013ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Well, this is the first book I have read by the Thoenes in years! My first historical fiction book was from their wonderful WWII series, and I always felt that they had the formula for writing historical fiction, especially in relation to history involving Jews. And they have not lost their touch as they tackle ancient Israel and the time of Christ. I love good Biblical fiction, and this definitely counts as such.
From the first page, they drew me in. They made me consider portions of the well-known story of Lazarus and his family in a different way, and I was emotionally drawn into the story in a way I never have before. I am glad to know that this is the first in the series, and I can hardly wait to read the rest in the series! If you think that you know all there is to know about Lazarus, Mary, Martha, and Jesus, let me challenge you to give this book a try. You may find that you are pleasantly surprised.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

Their depiction of Lazarus is insightful, captivating, and filled with such depth and beauty, it's as if you're standing right there in a first century vineyard.
Now, if you're looking for a quick, entertaining read, look elsewhere. This is a first person bible story. There is a lot of scripture woven throughout the book, and yet, it is still a novel. In my opinion, "When Jesus Wept" is one of the most faith-filled pieces of Christian fiction out there.
I am a huge fan of the Thoenes, and although I can't classify this as a personal favorite, I'm still so glad I read it. If you love biblical fiction then this is not to be missed, but for all of you who feel this wouldn't be your style (like me), I'd say read it anyways. After all, there's nothing like broadening your horizons with a good solid piece of writing. Stick through it, and I guarantee you'll come out understanding just a little more about our Lord...
I mean, isn't that what we're here for?!

Damon's double steal was cool, but it was not a first, and was not "the greatest"
Nov 2, 2009, 9:55 AM EDT
My hyperbole this morning aside, it seems that Johnny Damon's double steal as a result of the overshift is not a first. From reader Jonathan Fellows:
Willie Mays on September 30, 1971 — a game the Giants had to win to avoid a playoff — stole 2nd and 3rd on the same pitch. Willie McCovey was up and the Padres were playing the shift. The 3rd baseman covered second on the steal and Mays got up and took off for third after beating the throw to second.
That was this game here. It's hard to tell all of the nuances from the box score of course, but it appears to be what happened. UPDATE: Many readers recall Brandon Phillips doing this for the Reds a couple of years ago while the shift was on for either Dunn or Griffey. UPDATE #2: Another reader notes that Jeter apparently did it on opening day 2003, in the play in which he separated his shoulder running into catcher Rod Barajas. My memory of that was that there was an error or something that allowed Jeter to advance, but I haven't had time to check it this morning.
And while we're still on the subject, let's be 100% clear about something: Damon's play was very, very cool. It was totally exciting. It was probably a game changer inasmuch as others have noted in the comments today, it very well may have led to Lidge not wanting to throw his best pitch — hard slider — to A-Rod for fear of uncorking a wild pitch.
But it was not — as some Yankees boosters have suggested in comments, in emails to me, and around the blogosphere this morning — "one of the greatest moments in World Series history." I can think of a half dozen — Joe Carter in 1993, Jack Morris in 1991, Reggie in 1977, Fisk in 1975, Mazeroski in 1960 and Larsen in 1956 — just off the top of my head. There are no doubt many others.
Uniqueness and coolness does not necessarily make for greatness. I was totally stoked by Damon's play, and I'm sure Yankees fans were too. Hopefully, however, it can just be appreciated for what it is, rather than have it be pitted against truly "great" moments. Because to do so (a) diminishes those great moments by forcing them to endure a comparison that is beneath them; and (b) actually diminishes Damon's play, because it makes it suffer by comparison.
- Rich in G'burg - Nov 2, 2009 at 3:52 PM
I have to believe that Damon, after seeing how the infield was positioned, had planned the secondary steal of third while he was still on first base. It was not at all a spur-of-moment decision after he he was safe at second. He had already planned he was going to try for third, too.
- ken - Nov 2, 2009 at 3:52 PM
The Red Sox? They got swept in the first round. Red Sox fans only stick their heads out from under that rock once in a while now that 2004 and 2007 are over. The red sox might not even make the playoffs for another ten years or so. That play by Johnny Damon was one of the most heads up and daring plays I have seen in a long long time in World Series play. Not only did he have to be aware no one was covering third, he had to double check as he came up from the slide, then he had to be sure he could get off fast enough to outrun the third baseman to third. None of that was easy and it definitely was daring. Congrats Johnny Damon and congrats to the Yanks for another great world series win. One more to go and it will be 27, then Joe's number has to change
- mick-7-1961 - Nov 2, 2009 at 3:57 PM
No question about it, Rich….he knew exactly what he was going to do. He who hesitates……
What was Lidge thinking?
- MaryMcM - Nov 2, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Agreed, Damon's steal of 3rd was a 100% game-changer. Exciting he's going to be the 'idiot' who will be the first man since Babe Ruth to win a World Series as a Red Sox and Yankee. Way to go Johnny, make it happen again tonight!

Hey MaryMcM, Thats what I'm talkin about!!! Another nail in the coffin of the Red Sux. What a great stat to pick up on. Damon is determined and destined [as all the Yanks are] to finish it out tonight. One question, whats with the 'idiot' thing ? You can tell me at the celebration parade down Broadway in NYC next week.
- Michael B Pasternack - Nov 2, 2009 at 4:58 PM
I think it took an amazing amount of guts and talent to make that play. It was such a game changer that when ARod (who the Phillies should be ashamed of themselves for both dirty and dangerous tactics)got up to bat it seemed to me that there was no way he wasn't going to get a hit. The very look on his face said "If I don't do anything else for the rest of my life I'm going to bring him in." A Classic World Series moment.
- Matt - Nov 2, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Damon is definitely having a good year and good post season but let's not start revising history. Its been four years since he left the Red Sox for the Yankess and until this year he has not lived up to his $52 million dollar contract. So let's not get crazy about the Red Sox letting him go. They won a WS without him and he was not worth $52 million and still isnt. Last year Yankees fans wanted the guy banished to Siberia. One nice steal does not mean he is the reason the Yankees will win the WS. Signing of Texiera, CC and AJ had a little something to do with their current success, but maybe I'm wrong.
So should the Red Sox also be mad at themselves for letting Pedro go since he is in the WS with the Phillies?
- paul kneisl - Nov 2, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Yes this IS one of the great plays ever in the WS. Think of the context. The Yankees were up 2-0, then 4-2. Bottom of the eighth the Phillies tie it 4-4. The Phillies are at home. If they win the game the Series is 2-2 and totally up for grabs. The Yankees go 1-2 and almost 3 in the top of the 9th. Damon all but has strike three but foul tips it and the catcher cant come up with it. Under great pressure he gets a hit and gets on. Then he steals 2nd and sees 3rd undefended. If he makes a mistake the Yankee threat is over. When I saw the play live you couldnt see third base in the camera view. I saw him steal 2nd then RUN PAST THE BAG! Whats he doing hes out!? He runs away from the inflieder and Im waiting for the throw to third to nail him. But no ones there! He's safe on 3rd! Unbelieveable!
If the Yankees go on to win the Series this play will be remembered by everyone who was involved in it on BOTH sides. For some it will be will awe and wonder and for others there'll be a lifetime of "what if".
Yeah the same thing has happened before but NEVER with so much on the line!
- Steven - Nov 2, 2009 at 5:44 PM
@32 It's been known since he came up that the way to pitch A-Rod is high and tight. There have been pitchers in the past who put it up under his chin, which might be a little much; the Phillies aren't doing that. They are pitching him inside a lot, and when you do that you risk hitting the batter. It's part of the game, and A-Rod hasn't always made a concerted effort to get out of the way.

Ryan Howard, after living a full life, died and went to Heaven.
When he got to Heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Philly flag in the window.
"This house is yours for eternity, Ryan", said God. "This is very special, not everyone gets a house up here."
Ryan felt special, indeed and walked up to his house. On the way up, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a beautiful, 3-story mansion with a blue and white, pinstripe sidewalk, a 50 foot flagpole with an enormous New York Yankee flag and a NY logo in every window.
Ryan looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was a great Home Run hitter, gold-glove first baseman and I made the Hall of Fame."
God replied, "So what's your point, Ryan?"
"Well, why does Johnny Damon get a better house than me?"
God chuckled and said, "It's not Johnny's house, my son, it's mine."

I'm tired of everyone calling the Phils "The Champs". Last year they beat the Ray's… I'm sorry, but that just doesn't count…
I'm sure that if the Red Sox had taken the Ray's as seriously as the Phils did, they would've been "The Champs", because, no way would the Phils have beaten the Red Sox in 2008.
Beating a one-hit-wonder like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays doesn't make you a champion.

Hey, Damon's steel was a nice, heads up play. It put the Yankees in position to win the game. But, don't forget that Yogi said "it ain't over till it's over". There is still baseball to be played. Also, I think Mays and McCovey made the play look better!
- tommy - Nov 2, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Mick: the pitcher covering third base on a stolen base attempt at second is fundamental baseball? The only thing fundamental on a steal of second is for the pitcher to get his head out of the way and hit the deck. It would have been head's up for Lidge to have covered third, but hardly a fundamental play they teach you in little league.
- Jack Smack - Nov 3, 2009 at 2:43 PM
Hey, if the SHIFT is on, SOMEBODY has to cover 3b on a steal, and that's the pitcher's job.
He doesn't have to get there, just break toward 3b. If he does, he'll beat the runner there every time. After all, the runner has to pop up after a slide and then go 90′ and all the pitcher has to do is duck out of the way of the throw, and cover 60′ to 3b.
If he breaks toward 3b, the runner won't go.
Ordinarily, without the shift, all the pitcher has to do is get out of the way of the throw to 2b.
- chris w - Dec 19, 2009 at 4:20 PM
I don't know if this was one of the 10 "greatest" moments in WS history (the Perfect Game, Reggie's 3 HR, even the Tino/Brosius HRs on consecutive nights, not to mention Mazeroski, Joe Carter, the Unassisted Triple Play).
But this was hands down one of the SMARTEST plays in WS history, right up there with the fake Intentional Walk to Johnny Bench in 1972. It was the product not of chance (which Carter or Fisk's HRs were), it was the product of good, instinctual play and guile. Whether it was more premeditated or more instinctual is sort of irrelevant…"smart" baseball plays are all about positioning and reaction (the "Flip").
You know that it's a smart play because everyone in that stadium was in disbelief of what they'd just seen, not to mention even if we could see 3B on the TV feed, 95% of us wouldn't have thought anything of it being uncovered and what that meant for what Damon could do.
Give Damon his due here.

Should Obama listen to the conventional wisdom in choosing his national security team?
- By Peter Feaver
President Obama seems to have two options in assigning the top three national security spots (Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Advisor): follow the conventional beltway wisdom or go his own way and do what he thinks is best.
The conventional wisdom is that Obama should pick a Democratic "dream team." That would put Senator Kerry in the Secretary of State slot. He is the Democratic Party's acknowledged congressional leader on foreign policy and would be a shoo-in to be confirmed. He has certainly earned the president's favor, having rescued the administration from some tricky foreign policy predicaments, and he clearly wants the job. The Obama political operation appears willing to risk the Democratic Senate seat in the by-election to replace him. He will not have the celebrity star power that Hilary Clinton had, but there is no one (except her husband — or perhaps Colin Powell) who could come close to matching that anyway, and Kerry probably is the biggest name available. Secretary Clinton's most important contribution to foreign policy in the past four years has been this high profile "face of America" role — certainly she had a bigger impact in that role than in shaping key policy debates inside the interagency — and so seasoned foreign policy hands recognize the importance of making a high-stature appointment.
For Defense, the conventional wisdom is that either of the top two underlings from the first term — current Deputy Secretary of Defense Ash Carter or former UnderSecretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy — would be strong picks. Neither would face a contentious confirmation fight or a steep learning curve. Both enjoy bipartisan respect and would be as capable in selling Obama's controversial defense cuts as anyone he could pick. Both would be trusted to do the best that could be done to mitigate the damage those cuts risk doing to national security.
That leaves Susan Rice looking for a spot to land, and the conventional wisdom is that she would make a fine National Security Advisor. She clearly has the trust of the president, which is the single most important criterion for success, and she would be seen as an equal by the other principals (another important criterion). This is also a non-confirmable post, so the Benghazi unpleasantness would pose no hurdle. There is the awkwardness that the job is currently filled by someone who wants to stay, Tom Donilon, but the conventional wisdom is that it would be no bad thing for President Obama to start the second term with a clean slate. Indeed, as one Obama insider put it, an "intervention" may be needed to repair the dysfunctions of the first term. The president could also consider many other worthy names for spots on the "dream team " that were also in circulation four years ago — Richard Danzig, John Hamre, Jim Steinberg, to name just a few — but they all have in common this "clean slate" feel.
The trial balloons floating out of the White House suggest that President Obama doesn't agree with the conventional wisdom. It appears he wants to put Susan Rice at State — never mind that some Senators seem willing to serve the sauce for Rice's goose that she merrily served to their gander over the years. Even some Democratic voices have raised doubts (here and here) about whether Rice is a good fit at State.
And if Rice is at State, what to do with the loyal Kerry? The consolation prize appears to be Defense — never mind the doubts that a Senate office is the wrong training ground for managing such an unwieldy bureaucracy. Or perhaps Kerry would be left at the altar altogether, which would mean that Obama's rocky relations with Congress would have one more unhappy boulder to contend with.
And if Rice is at State, that means Donilon is likely to stay as National Security Advisor, which leaves the slate uncleaned.
When facing similar choices in the past, Obama has tended to follow his own lead and ignore the conventional wisdom and so I guess the best bet is that he will do so again. But sometimes the conventional wisdom has a certain, well, wisdom to it.

5 Strange Alternate Universe Stories of Iconic Superheroes
Subscribe to our newsletter
Comic book writers use alternate realities to try and reinvent an established character or to tell stories that otherwise couldn't be told in the established character's universe. Some, like Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, end up having a huge impact and redefine the hero. Others are, well, weird, to put it lightly.
Batman (Earth-9)
Earth-9's Batman is what happens when you completely throw away the Batman origin story and start over from scratch, basing the new origin on his nickname "the Dark Knight."
Sir William, a member of the Round Table, is seduced by Morgan Le Fay and told it would be totally sweet if he would ice King Arthur. He tries, but even with the aid of Morgan's magic he can't actually succeed in the act of regicide. As punishment for almost murdering the most important figure in British history, Sir William is locked up inside the Castle Bat and not permitted to leave until he atones for his mistake. Ignoring that it's pretty difficult to do that while locked inside a castle, this is sound logic.
Anyway, at some point Sir William learns that he can project his spirit into an empty suit of armor and have it leave the castle to perform good deeds in his stead. And there's your Batman, people.
The empty suit of armor is a great swordsman, and that's about it. In a way it kind of puts him on par with the actual Batman with that whole "no super power thing," but at the same time it seems kind of disappointing that an ominous suit of armor written out of Arthurian legend really is just a suit of armor.
Punisher MAX: The End
In the not too distant future, a nuclear war wipes out much of humanity and leaves the survivors to suffer a slow and painful death. Among those survivors is Frank Castle, the Punisher.
As an inmate at Sing-Sing when the bombs dropped, Castle is able to use the prison's fallout shelter to save himself. After a year passes he sets out to find a secret bomb shelter underneath the World Trade Center another prisoner told him about (presumably after Castle put his testicles in a vice). Tagging along on this magical mystery tour of radioactive America is Paris Peters, fellow inmate curious to see what all this Punisher business is about.
The WTC shelter is found but once inside the dynamic duo collapses. The wake up inside an infirmary and are told the radiation poisoning will kill them soon. Thankful for these diagnoses, Castle proceeds to kill the medical staff and armed guards within the bunker, slaying everything in his way until he finds his way to the heart of the bunker and uncovers the Coven, a group of the most powerful and richest people on the planet. He reveals that they are his target because he believes they are responsible for the nuclear holocaust. They explain that they're the last members of the human race and only they can repopulate it. Naturally, Castle kills them all.
After killing Humanity's last hope (he also kills Paris because, you know, he was a convict), he wanders back into the wasteland to die. Punisher has literally killed off the entire human race while completely disregarding his own fast and loose moral code.
Old Man Logan
What if the hardened badass Wolverine were just really, really mopey all the time? Old Man Logan answers this question with a resounding "Well, it's kind of weird."
In the future the United States is conquered by super villains and superheroes are nearly wiped out. Logan has taken to leading a normal, if not mundane life with his wife and two children. In a flashback it's revealed that he killed most (if not all) of the X Mansions inhabitants when Mysterio disguised them to look like various baddies. Logan tried to kill himself by laying his head across railroad tracks, knowing well that a train wouldn't kill him but would symbolically kill his Wolverine persona, or something.
Though he manages to go on a wacky and perilous adventure with Hawkeye without ever drawing his claws, he finally gives up the ghost when his landlords, the Hulk clan, kill his family for failure to pay rent (the whole reason he went with Hawkeye in the first place). Why he couldn't find that same rage when super villains were disturbing sections of the United States like a game of Risk is anyone's guess, but after avenging his family and killing (and being partially digested by) Bruce Banner, Logan realizes the world needs his psychotic rage and rides off into the sunset to form a new superhero team. Circle of life.
Feral Superman
The crux of a few alternate universe Superman tales is Kal-El's spacecraft landing somewhere other than Kansas. For example, in Red Son he lands in 1950's Ukraine and he becomes a champion of Communism. Superman: the Feral Man of Steel sees our hero crash into the Indian jungle where he is raised by wolves. His powers are virtually the same. It's kind of like Tarzan if Tarzan could punt a Panzer. Now known as K'L'L, Superman lives in peace until hunters inevitably kill his wolf parents, making him a double orphan of two different species. He eventually takes control of the wolf pack and swears revenge on the hunters that killed his parents.
Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, ever the douchebag, has discovered a gem that miraculously weakens the strange jungle man's unnatural strength. After Lois Lane, who is teaching K'L'L the way of humans, turns down Lex's marriage proposal, he abducts Superman and puts him in a circus sideshow as part of a long and convoluted plan to assassinate Queen Victoria and take control of the British Empire.
Somehow, through all of his bloodlust, Superman finally discovers his moral code and refuses to kill. The two duke out it only to have Luthor betrayed by a member of his own hunting party. Superman is knighted and the British Empire never falls.
Now, if you're thinking that's a little strange, you've clearly never read…
Superman: At World's End
In the far-flung future, the Earth has been ravaged by violence. Superman, old and weak, lives in a floating city with a bunch of cyborgs. The cyborgs decide that they need to nuke Gotham City because it's overrun by hideous monsters and is unsalvageable. Superman goes to Gotham himself, refusing their plan because use of weapons is never the answer. Remember that, because it's an important plot point.
Anyway, in Gotham Superman encounters a group of teenagers hanging around the home of the long deceased Batman. Supes learns that a group known as the DNA Diktators have been abducting people and robbing graves to make monstrous clones for nefarious purposes, and that Batman's body has been used to create literal batmen. Superman vows to fight the Diktators but realizes he's too weak to do so. He's offered the use of what has to be the most ridiculous looking gun in the history of firearms:
And promptly turns it down, because guns are evil and all that jazz.
Superman fights his way to through the mutants only to discover that the DNA Diktators are actually a pair of Hitler clones. Coming to the bizarre conclusion that violence only exists because of Hitler(s), he has a swift change of heart and rids the world of double Hitler with the BFG.
The story ends with Superman recovering Batman's body and walking it into a pyre, killing himself in the process. One of his young sidekicks throws a gun in after him, proclaiming that if it weren't for guns then Superman would still be alive. Ignoring the fact that guns didn't kill him and that he used a gun to great effect, this makes perfect sense.

Jackett delighted with new arrival
Kenny Jackett is delighted to have renewed acquaintances with James Henry after the winger completed a three month loan deal from Millwall.
Henry enjoyed some successful times under Jackett during his spell at The Den, and the Wolves Head Coach believes he has plenty to offer having made the switch to Molineux.
"I'm very pleased to be able to bring James in on loan – he gives us good options, particularly down the right hand side," said Jackett.
"His delivery and his quality of crosses will be an asset to us and I feel he's a player who generally features very highly in the assists of goals.
"He has the ability to come inside and pass it and his ball retention is good, but his predominant strength is as a winger, going past players and getting crosses in.
"We have been short in the wide areas and James coming in on loan gives us good competition in the wide areas as well.
"He has a lot of quality to help us over the next few months.
"He's done well over the last few seasons at Championship level – he's had good years for Millwall in the Championship.
"His games record is good and his experience level is good and it's a great opportunity for him coming to a club of this size and I do feel his best years are ahead of him.
"All the experience he has he can put to good use and over this short period of time for Wolves.
"I hope he does bring a lot to us and both create and score goals because it's a vital ingredient towards winning games."
Henry will take squad number 7 after arriving at Molineux.

Nespáľme to krásne v nás
|"Nespáľme to krásne v nás"
|Single by Miro Žbirka and Marika Gombitová
|from the album Modrý album
|Pop music
|Music sample
|Music video
|"Nespáľme to krásne v nás" on YouTube
|Marika Gombitová singles chronology
Nespáľme to krásne v nás (English: Let's Not Burn The Beauty In Us) is a song by Miro Žbirka and Marika Gombitová released on Universal in 2001.[1]
The duet was the first collaboration of the artists since their common hit "V slepých uličkách" from 1980. Originally, the composition was issued on the Žbirka's twelfth studio set Modrý album (2003), while available also on the Gombitová's multi-platinum greatest hits compilation Vyznanie (2007) in addition.
In 2005, the artists recorded altogether another song called "Tajnosľubná", which was used as the main theme of a TV-series Medzi nami.[2]
Credits and personnel[edit]
- Miro Žbirka - writer, lead vocals, co-producer
- Marika Gombitová - lead vocal
- Kamil Peteraj - lyrics
- Aleš Zenkl - producer
- Honza Horáček - producer
Official versions[edit]
- "Nespáľme to krásne v nás" - Studio version I, 2001
- "Nespáľme to krásne v nás" - Studio version II, 2001
Initially, the composition was to be premiered at the Slovak national beauty pageant show Miss Slovakia. However, Gombitová refused to appear that night, claiming that she had not been satisfied with the final version. Žbirka had to perform only himself, eventually, presenting one of his solo tracks.[3] The case was widely discussed by Slovak and Czech media, by means of which, Gombitová urged Žbirka to re-arrange the song.
Furthermore, according to the authors of Gombitová's 2008 self-titled biography, the duet should have been released on the Žbirka's album without a prior permition from the female vocalist and, therefore, she was not paid for her featured contribution. Žbirka turned down such charges.[4][5] After an agreement that followed six months later, both artists in person presented the work (in the meantime re-arranged as claimed in behalf of Gombitová) during the Slovak annual awards "Slávik" in 2001, at Istropolis in Bratislava. In 2005, they worked together back again on "Tajnosľubná", which was released on the Žbirka's following album Dúhy (Universal).

Ryanair Reports Slight Recovery in Quarter
By BRIAN LAVERY
Published: August 4, 2004
DUBLIN, Aug. 3— Ryanair, the discount Irish airline, announced on Tuesday that its after-tax profit rose 30 percent in the first quarter, to 52.6 million euros ($63.4 million) including exceptional items, as the number of passengers rose 28 percent from a year earlier, to 6.6 million. The earnings beat analysts' expectations and marked a slight recovery from three months ago, when the company reported its first quarterly loss.
But investors worried that rising oil prices and falling yields -- the average revenue per passenger, which dropped 6 percent -- meant that Ryanair, Europe's largest low-fare carrier, might struggle to regain its momentum, and its shares slid 2 percent, to 4.33 euros ($5.21), in Dublin.
Ryanair acknowledged that tough conditions would continue, but suggested that it would fare better in the difficult environment than its competitors. Michael O'Leary, the chief executive, said that yields were likely to fall 5 percent to 10 percent in the current quarter, followed by an additional 10 percent to 20 percent toward the end of the year.
''Chronically loss-making competitors will continue to dump prices,'' he said, ''resulting in even more airline casualties this winter.''
Investors have admired Ryanair for its ability to hedge fuel costs, but its contracts run only through September. Mr. O'Leary said that the company would resume hedging if oil prices, now above $44 a barrel, fell back to $30. If prices remain at their current levels for the rest of the year, fuel will cost the airline an additional 20 million euros ($24 million).
Ryanair promised to cut costs elsewhere rather than raise ticket prices, which are often as low as $1.20 one-way before airport taxes. The proposed changes are typical of Ryanair's overall strategy, and are not necessarily an immediate response to fuel costs or competition, said John Mattimoe, an analyst at Merrion Stockbrokers in Dublin, who rates the stock a ''hold.''
''They took a decision to forgo short-term profit maximization in order to increase the pain on competitors as much as possible,'' he said, but ''these are cost savings that they may have gotten anyway.''
Ryanair's main cost-cutting measures include plans to finish replacing its Boeing 737-200's by the end of next year with fuel-efficient 737-800's, which carry 60 more passengers a flight, and to pursue a case against the British Airports Authority over fuel taxes, which could save the airline 3 million euros a year, a spokesman, Paul Fitzsimmons, said.
Ryanair has already installed nonreclining seats on its planes because they require less maintenance, and has raised the weight limit for carry-on baggage to cut back on check-in desks and baggage handlers.
Ancillary revenues like car rentals, hotel bookings, credit cards and personal loans jumped 40 percent in the quarter, and could double again in the next year or two, giving Ryanair a significant cushion to deal with higher fuel costs, Mr. Fitzsimmons said in a telephone interview.
With cash reserves of 1.3 billion euros, ''we're in a much better position to absorb changes like that than anyone else,'' he said.
