Mitt Romney Rips Barack Obama on His Past Comments and Foreign Policy, Says Hillary Clinton & Obama are Two Peas in the Same Pod … Romney Says He Will not Run Again for President
Whether you like Mitt Romney or not, Romney was correct during the 2012 Presidential race and debates and Obama was dead wrong.
AMERICA HAS BUYER'S REMORSE … Former Massachusetts Governor and 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney appeared on FOX News Sunday and shredded Barack Obama, his lack of a foreign policy and his disastrous out of touch presidency. In retrospect, does anyone really not think that Romney would have been a better choice than Obama? During the 2012 presidential debates Obama had nothing but condescending one liners like when Romney was discussing the dwindling size of the navy, Obama mocked him by replying, "we also have fewer horses and bayonets." Then there was the condescending Obama comments when Romney had stated that Russia was one of the biggest Geo-political threats, Obama quipped that "the 1980′s are now calling for their foreign policy back." It makes for a good joke, but could Obama have ever been more wrong? Hey Barack … what do you think of Vladimir Putin now?
Mitt Romney also went on to say that he thinks he would have made a better president than Barack Obama; however, Romney also stated that he is not running again. Romney stated he had his chance and his time has passed. But it is obvious to many that Romney would have made a better president and that the American people have buyer's remorse. A recent CNN poll indicated that if the 2012 presidential election was held today, Romney would defeat Obama 53% to 44%.
Romney also said that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are one in the same.
"I look for instance at her record as secretary of state. Look, her record is Barack Obama's record in foreign policy, and it's a disaster," Romney said. Citing the ongoing conflagrations in the Middle East and the Ukraine and the current administration's inaction, Romney said: "If you can't speak decisively, you can't be decisive. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are two peas in the same pod."
And to the folks over at Crooks and Liars who have nothing but MEAN things to say about Romney's appearance on FNS where all he was doing was answering the questions he was asked, Elmer Fudd would have made a better president than Barack Milhous Obama. Romney was not crying he was not elected, America is crying. Had Americans known that Obamacare was a lie, Benghazi was another lie and coverup and IRS-gate … Obama would have lost in a landslide, as he should have.

CNN Poll Redux: If Rematch of 2012 Presidental Election Were Held Today … Mitt Romney Beats Barack Obama 53% to 44%
According to a recent CNN poll, if a 2012 presidential election rematch was held today, Mitt Romney would defeat Barack Obama 53% to 44%. It would appear the the American voters are having buyer's remorse and if they had the opportunity to redo the 2012 presidential election, they would vote much differently. In 2012 Obama won the popular vote, 51% to 47%; however, after American voters learned of Obama's lies with regards to Obamacare, the IRS-targeting scandals of conservative non-profit groups, a continued poor economic recovery, one Obama foreign policy disaster after another and an electorate that has grown weary of this scandal ridden, apathetic, golf playing and fund-raising President … Obama now loses to Romney, 44% to 54%.
Suppose that for some reason a presidential election were being held today and you had to choose between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Who would you be more likely to vote for?
If a rematch of the 2012 presidential election were held today, GOP nominee Mitt Romney would top President Barack Obama in the popular vote, according to a new national survey.
But a CNN/ORC International poll also indicates that if Romney changes his mind and runs again for the White House, Hillary Clinton would best him by double digits in a hypothetical showdown.
According to the poll, if the 2012 election were somehow held again, Romney would capture 53% of the popular vote, with the President at 44%. Obama beat Romney 51%-47% in the popular vote in the 2012 contest. And he won the all-important Electoral College by a wider margin, 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206.
Last November, an ABC News/Washington Post survey indicated that if the 2012 election were held again, Romney would have had a 49%-45% edge over Obama in the popular vote.
Nice try by CNN to add that Hillary Clinton beats Romney 55% to 42% and make the comparison that it is some how the same as the Obama-Romney redo. Leave it to the liberal media to compare apples to oranges. The Clinton/Romney poll is simply a popularity contest of a hypothetical election that will never take place. However, the Romney/Obama poll numbers are from a knowing public that has seen the Obama promises, political lies and scandals for themselves. There is nothing hypothetical about the facts that Barack Obama is a failed president, who is considered the worst president since WWII and many, if they had the chance would change their vote and never have reelected him.
IRS Worker Suspended for 100 Days Without Pay for Violating the Hatch Act For Urging Callers to Reelect Barack Obama
Yet another black eye for the IRS and the out of control rogue agency showing that it acts as a political agency …
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has announced that an IRS employee, who has not been named, was suspended 100 days without pay for "repeatedly" trying to urge callers to reelect Barack Obama in 2012. The IRS employee violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from either running as candidates or soliciting contributions and promoting candidates for political office while they're on duty and in a federal workplace. Hmm, not fired eh? Just a slap on the wrist and just curious,why wasn't the individuals name revealed? However, this is actually more of a punishment than anyone has been given for IRS-gate and their illegal targeting of conservative non-profit and Tea Party organizations.
Who thinks we are starting to see a pattern here that the IRS was a reelect campaign vehicle for Barack Obama?
An IRS help line worker has been suspended for 100 days without pay for urging callers to reelect President Barack Obama in 2012, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel announced on Thursday.
The employee, who was not named, "acknowledged that he had used his authority and influence as an IRS customer service representative for a political purpose and did so while at work," according to a news release from the ethics watchdog agency.
The "complaint alleged that, when fielding taxpayers' questions on an IRS customer service help line, the employee repeatedly urged taxpayers to reelect President Obama in 2012 by delivering a chant based on the spelling of the employee's last name," according to the release.
IRS Employee Agrees to 100 – day Suspension for Hatch Act Violations
In June 2014, OSC entered into a settlement agreement with an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employee who
agreed to a 100 – day unpaid suspension for violating the Hatch Act. The agreement resolves a formal Hatch Act
complaint that OSC filed with the Board in April 2014. OSC's complaint alleged that, when fielding taxpayers' questions
on an IRS customer service help line, the employee repeatedly urged taxpayers to reelect President Obama in 2012 by
delivering a chant based on the spelling of the employee's last name. In the settlement agreement resolving the
complaint, the IRS employee acknowledged that he had used his authority and influence as an IRS customer service
representative for a political purpose and did so while at work.
Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA) blasted the IRS following this latest revelation of the agency acting as a political tool of the Obama White House calling the IRS "totally out of control."
"This latest development exposes a culture that tolerates or even encourages politically motivated activities, contrary to the agency's mission and purpose," he said in a statement. "This is inexcusable. If the IRS wishes to preserve what little credibility it has with the American people, they will immediately terminate this employee and conduct a thorough internal review into this matter."
Quinnipiac Poll: Barack Obama Is the Worst American President Since WWII
File this one under, tell me something we do not already know … OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT!
According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, Americans say that Obama is the worst post-WWII president of them all. It would appear that Barack Obama is not the one that "we've been waiting for", actually far from it. Just think, Obama is already at the bottom of the list and his presidency is not even over, sadly. Look for this poll number to go down even further as the US economy continues to struggle, the Middle East continues in turmoil and the scandals mount. Ronald Reagan is far and away considered the best president. What does it say when a current sitting US president is considered worse than Richard Nixon, who had to resign and leave office in disgrace because of "Watergate" before he was impeached? Had it not been for a liberal media refusing to dig deeper in to the all too numerous Obama administration scandals like a Woodward and Bernstein, Obama would have a 20% approval rating and been impeached.
Not only do Americans say that Obama is the worst post-WWII president, they also have "buyer's remorse" as 45% of voters say that America would be better off had Mitt Romney been elected president in 2012, while 38% believe the country would be worse off. This includes independent voters 47 – 33, who wish they could get a Mulligan and have a do-over to elect Romney. Hot Air opines, "If independents have double-digit buyer's remorse from 2012, that suggests a strong desire to make up for their earlier mistake."
President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick President George W. Bush.
Ronald Reagan is the best president since WWII, 35 percent of voters say, with 18 percent for Bill Clinton, 15 percent for John F. Kennedy and 8 percent for Obama, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Among Democrats, 34 percent say Clinton is the best president, with 18 percent each for Obama and Kennedy.
Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, 39 percent of voters say, while 40 percent say he is worse. Men say 43 – 36 percent that Obama is worse than Bush while women say 42 – 38 percent he is better. Obama is worse, Republicans say 79 – 7 percent and independent voters say 41 – 31 percent. Democrats say 78 – 4 percent that he is better.
My list of worst post WWII presidents would be as follows: 1) Barack Obama, 2) Jimmy Carter, 3) Gerald Ford, although not sure if he should even count, 4) Richard Nixon, 5) LBJ 6) Bill Clinton, 7) GWB, 8) GHWB, 9) JFK, 10) Eisenhower. Ronald Reagan and Harry S Truman would not even get a vote to be on this list.
I would actually go one further, Obama may just be the worst president since WWI. Hell, for that fact Obama is the worst president since The Revolutionary War of American Independence.
IRS Admits Illegally Leaking Confidential "National Organization of Marriage" Information That Was Used Against Mitt Romney in 2012 Elections
More IRS corruption … The IRS was forced to admit this week to leaking the National Organization for Marriage's confidential information to far left groups, the Human Rights Campaign. The Daily Signal is reporting that the Internal Revenue Service has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit for illegally releasing confidential tax return and donor list of the National Organization of Marriage, a national group opposed to redefining marriage.
The IRS will pay the National Organization for Marriage $50,000. That's it? Was anyone fired? How about jail?
Two years after activists for same-sex marriage obtained the confidential tax return and donor list of a national group opposed to redefining marriage, the Internal Revenue Service has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit.
The Daily Signal has learned that, under a consent judgment today, the IRS agreed to pay $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage as a result of the unlawful release of the confidential information to a gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign, that is NOM's chief political rival.
"Congress made the disclosure of confidential tax return information a serious matter for a reason," NOM Chairman John D. Eastman told The Daily Signal. "We're delighted that the IRS has now been held accountable for the illegal disclosure of our list of major donors from our tax return."
The Daily Signal is seeking comment on the settlement from the IRS and Justice Department.
Oh the sick irony. The IRS will pay the National Organization for Marriage $50,000 of our own money.
NOM said that an investigation revealed that its 2008 tax return and list of major donors was released to Matthew Meisel, a gay activist in Boston, MA. Email correspondence from Meisel revealed that he told a colleague that he had "a conduit" to obtain NOM's confidential information. While testifying under oath in a deposition in the litigation, Meisel invoked the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination and refused to disclose the identity of his conduit. Documents obtained during the litigation prove that Meisel then provided NOM's tax data to the Human Rights Campaign (whose president was a national Co-Chair of the Obama Reelection Campaign). The information was also published by the Huffington Post.
"While we are very pleased that the IRS has been exposed as being responsible for this leak of our confidential information to our political opponents, we believe the IRS may still be hiding information from the American people," Eastman said. "We have called on the Attorney General to grant Matthew Meisel immunity from prosecution so that we can force him to disclose the identity of his conduit . We urge the Congress to explore this issue with the appropriate government officials. It's imperative that all those who have engaged in corrupt practices and illegal acts in the IRS be identified and held accountable."
Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) Calls Benghazi Special Committee: 'It's a Hunting Mission for a Lynch Mob"
I think the Democrats protest too much …
On Sunday during CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley, liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein D-CA) called the House Select Committee on Benghazi is "ridiculous." and said … "I think it's a hunting mission for a lynch mob." However, the American people overwhelmingly think different from Di-Fi as 67% support the creation of a Benghazi Special Committee and 51% believe the Obama Administration knowingly lied about blaiming a video tape for the terror attack for political purposes.
Full transcript HERE.
For Democrats, its all about protecting Hillary Clinton's back side at this point for 2016.
Hey Liberals, Remember When Sarah Palin Predicted in 2008 That If Obama was Elected President, Putin and Russia Would Invade Ukraine … SHE WAS RIGHT!
Remember in 2008 when then GOP Vice Presidential nominee said during a campaign rally in a Reno, Nevada, "After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next." Palin was mocked profusely for her comments by the Left and the liberal MSM. Flash-forward to present day … GUESS WHO WAS CORRECT? Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is now saying "I told you so" from her Facebook page following reports of a Putin – Russian "military invasion" in the Crimean area of Ukraine.
Um, I'm usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did …
Yes, I could see this one from Alaska. I'm usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as "an extremely far-fetched scenario" by the "high-brow" Foreign Policy magazine. Here's what this "stupid" "insipid woman" predicted back in 2008: "After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next."
With special thanks to JWF, they found this liberal gem from the past where Sarah Palin was mocked for her foreign policy comments regarding what would happen between Russian and Ukraine if Barack Obama was elected in 2008.
Palin helpfully offered four scenarios for such a crisis, one of which was this strange one:
After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next.
As we've said before, this is an extremely far-fetched scenario. And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine's pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don't see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel. Watch the upcoming parliamentary elections in December to see if Moscow gets the pliable new government it wants.
So where are all those Democrats, Libs and liberal media types with their apologies? Doesn't it just crush liberals that Sarah Palin was more correct on Russia than their Obamamessiah.
Remember When Barack Obama Ridiculed Mitt Romney During 2012 Presidential Debates about Russia … '1980s Are Calling to Ask for Their Foreign Policy Back' … How Do Those "Rose Colored" Glasses Fit There Barack?
Yet another reason why you don't elect, let alone reelect SNARK or a Campaigner is Chief …
Remember when Barack Obama made the snide, wise-a$$, ridiculing comment during the 2012 presidential debates to GOP candidate Mitt Romney regarding Russia and that the 1980′s want their foreign policy back? And everyone thought Obama was so cute making such a witty comment. So what do you think of Obama's comments now as Russia and Vladimir Putin have invaded Ukraine. Just curious America, how's that "Hopey-Changey" stuff working out for ya? Where is your
Moses Obamamessiah now? By the way Barack, how do those rose colored glasses fit?
Fox News' Bret Baier opened a segment of his show Friday night by flashing back to an October 2012 presidential debate where President Obama ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Romney about his concern over Russia's "geo-political" threat.
"You said Russia. Not Al Qaida. You said Russia," Obama said regarding biggest threats. "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because…the cold war's been over for 20 years."
Mitt Romney's intelligent, powerful and correct retort was as follows:
"Russia, I indicated, is a geopolitical foe … and I said in the same paragraph I said and Iran is the greatest national security threat we face. Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin …"
Is it any wonder why at this moment so many Americans wish that had a do-over of the 2012 presidential election and they would not vote for Barack Obama. He has been wrong and an epic failure on everything in be domestic and foreign policy. What else would you expect but snark from an individual who was completely unqualified to be president?
Barack Obama Campaign Bundler Noah Bryson Mamet Nominated as Ambassador to Argentina Even Though Has Never Been to the Country or Speak Spanish
What a joke, Don't Cry for Me Argentina … Obama Style. What else would you expect from a community organizer and a "Campaigner in Chief"?
Remember when Barack Obama campaigned that he was going to change the way things were done inside the Belt Way? Well you can forget that as Barack Obama is rewarding one of his campaign blunders with an ambassadorship to Argentina. Noah Bryson Mamet bundled more than $500,000 for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and is now being rewarded for his fundraising. There is just one problem, the man who is supposed to represent the United states in Argentina has never been to the country. UNBELIEVABLE. One would think, as echoed at Slate, with the current state of affairs in Argentina, "delicate times, probably opportune times for a diplomat with years logged in South America".
The Buenos Aires Herald reports, Mamet, who would be replacing Vilma Martínez after her term ended on July 4, is a veteran Democratic fund-raiser and consultant who has no evident experience with Latin American issues.
Sen. Marco Rubio shows his disbelief that the nominee for Ambassador to Argentina has never been there
Presidents often award diplomatic posts to campaign donors and fundraisers, but Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., suspects that Obama's choice of ambassador to Argentina — a man who bundled more than $500,000 for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, but who has never been to the country — is in over his head.
"Have you been to Argentina?" Rubio asked Noah Mamet during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing Thursday.
"I haven't had the opportunity yet to be there," Mamet replied. "I've traveled pretty extensively around the world, but I haven't yet had a chance [to visit Argentina]."
Rubio implied that Argentina is too important a country to be entrusted to a campaign donor rather than a professional, as is the case with some other diplomatic posts. "I don't view this appointment as one — I think this is a very significant post," he said.
UPDATE I: This nomination by Barack Obama gets worse, if possible. In the VIDEO below the US State Department spokesperson does not even know if the nominee for the position to be an Ambassador in a Latin American country speaks Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! How could you not know this? Is it any wonder how the Hillary Clinton lead State Department botched Benghazi?
"I don't have his personal biography in front of me."
This presidency cannot end soon enough!
Barack Obama, the Divider in Chief: Obama Blames Racism Rather than Poor Job Performance For His Lower Approval Ratings
Once again Barack Obama cries racism instead of taking responsibility for his poor job performance … Obama plays the race card yet again.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Barack Obama blamed racism for his falling job approval and popularity numbers. Racial tensions is the reason why his popularity among white voters has waned within the past two years, are you kidding me? Sorry, but this man is a despicable human being and a poor excuse for a president who would continually try to divide a country between races and blame racism for his poor job as president. Disgusting!!! Obama thrives off of using the race card. This is why you never elect a community agitator as president.
Of course Obama could not look at the obvious to determine why his popularity among white voters has fallen in the past couple of years. Certainly it has nothing to do with the on going disastrous economy and Obama's failure to create jobs. Also, it has nothing to do with Obama's lies to the American people regarding Obamacare and that you could keep your insurance plan, if you liked it. It has nothing to do with other scandals like IRS-gate, Benghazi-gate and NSA-gate, where Americans no longer consider Obama trustworthy. And of course his failure in foreign policy has nothing to do with it either.
A note Barack Obama, when one is given the benefit of the doubt and then fails miserably on all aspects of their job, including their signature piece of legislation, you are deemed a failure and lose the support of the people.
President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine's website today.
"There's no doubt that there's some folks who just really dislike me because they don't like the idea of a black president," Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine's Jan. 27 edition.
"Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I'm a black president," Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he's been in office.
By the way, it is not just white voters where Obama has fallen badly in the polls. Barack Obama is down 23 points with Hispanics as well. Is that racism too? So are all of the following from the chart below racist too … they all have lower Obama approval numbers than 2012, including Blacks, Hispanics, Non-whites, women, men, Independents, moderate Democrats … pretty much everyone.
Chart from Gallup.com

Qyburn is a recurring character in the third, fourth and fifth seasons. He is portrayed by Anton Lesser and debuts in "Valar Dohaeris". He is one of the prisoners at Harrenhal left for dead by Ser Gregor Clegane.
Biography Edit
Background Edit
Qyburn is a former maester of the Citadel. He was stripped of his chain by the Archmaesters for engaging in forbidden experiments.
Season 3 Edit
Qyburn is among the Northern and Riverlands prisoners at Harrenhal when Ser Gregor Clegane abandons the castle and has all captives put to the sword. Qyburn, however, survives the injury at his throat and awakens when the castle is taken by the Northern army. After he wakes, he identifies himself to Robb Stark while Talisa Stark tends to his wound. It is unknown how he came to be imprisoned there.[1]
After Robb leaves Harrenhal, Qyburn stays behind, serving under Lord Roose Bolton. He tends to Ser Jaime Lannister's badly infected stump, result of Locke removing his right hand. During this time, Jaime notices that Qyburn is not a Maester, because he isn't wearing a maester's chain of office. Qyburn acknowledges this, explaining that he was stripped of his chain by the Citadel and thrown out of the Order of Maesters for conducting experiments which they felt were too "bold". Qyburn initially intends to amputate part of Jaime's arm, but Jaime begs him not to, even threatening to kill him. Qyburn agrees to instead resort to removing the infected flesh, warning that the process will be painful and likely require milk of the poppy, but Jaime, worrying that Qyburn may still amputate his arm, refuses. Qyburn straps Jaime's arm to the chair and starts the painful procedure. [2]
Qyburn volunteers to join the party escorting Jaime back to King's Landing. Lord Bolton theorizes that the former Maester is doing so in the hopes that Tywin Lannister will force the Citadel to restore his chain. After leaving Harrenhal, when Qyburn checks on Jaime's healing stump, Jaime notes that Qyburn's work is far superior to that of Grand Maester Pycelle and asks why the Citadel removed his chain. Qyburn tells him that it was for performing experiments on living humans in order to learn more about their anatomy, and justifies his actions by noting that he used the information he gleaned from them to save lives. Jaime briefly mocks Qyburn, who shoots back at Jaime for the countless lives he's taken, though Jaime notes that he saved the population of King's Landing from the Mad King. When Jaime then asks Qyburn about Brienne, he states that her father offered Locke a fair ransom of three hundred Gold Dragons, which Locke refused to accept due to a previous lie of Jaime's that Brienne came from a wealthier family than she really did. Qyburn tells Jaime that she will most likely serve as entertainment for Locke and his men that night, and be killed thereafter. Qyburn then accompanies Jaime and Steelshanks to Harrenhal when Jaime blackmails Steelshanks into helping him rescue Brienne.[3]
Qyburn is still with Jaime and Brienne when they finally reach King's Landing.[4]
Season 4Edit
Cersei has a gilded prosthetic hand forged for Jaime, and Qyburn personally fits it on him. Cersei voices her gratitude to Qyburn, who then ingratiates himself with the Queen by aiding her in other matters.[5]
After Gregor Clegane is seriously wounded during his fight against Oberyn Martell, Qyburn and Pycelle theorize that Oberyn coated his spear in manticore venom, causing Clegane's wounds to fester and leave him in agony. Pycelle concludes to Cersei that Clegane is likely doomed, but Qyburn states that he may be able to save him using more unorthodox means, even though Clegane once nearly killed him in Harrenhal. Pycelle snorts that Qyburn is not even a Maester, and reminds Cersei that he was expelled from the Citadel for conducting "dangerous" and "unnatural" experiments. Cersei, remembering Qyburn's success with Jaime's stump, responds by dismissing Pycelle from his duties - and his laboratory. Cersei then gives Qyburn permission to do anything he can to save Clegane, and to come to her should he need anything. Qyburn warns the Queen that the process he intends to put Ser Gregor through may "change him", but when she is satisfied that it will not affect his strength, she instructs Qyburn to carry on.[6]
Season 5Edit
Qyburn is at Cersei's side when she confirms that a head brought to her by two bounty hunters does not belong to Tyrion Lannister. Qyburn asks for the head for use in his research.[7] Later on, at a meeting of the Small Council, Cersei appoints Qyburn as the new Master of Whisperers to replace Varys. Grand Maester Pycelle protests vehemently given Qyburn's outcast status, and Kevan Lannister denounces Qyburn as a sycophant and Cersei as a power-grabber.[8]
Qyburn is present at a Small Council meeting when the High Septon demands the execution of the High Sparrow after his followers attack him. Qyburn informs the Council that the High Septon had been at Littlefinger's brothel. Later, Qyburn kills a rat as part of an experiment when Cersei enters his laboratory, giving him a message that she wants sent to Petyr Baelish. She also asks him about the state of his work, while glancing at Gregor Clegane's covered body, and Qyburn assures her it is going very well, though there is still a way to go. Soon after Cersei leaves, as Qyburn writes, Gregor begins shaking under the blanket, but Qyburn shushes him calmly.[9]
Qyburn is at the meeting of the Small Council when Mace Tyrell departs to negotiate the crown's debt with the Iron Bank of Braavos.[10]
Qyburn visits Cersei while she is held prisoner by the High Sparrow, informing her that Grand Maester Pycelle has sent for Kevan Lannister to serve as Hand of the King. He also informs her that King Tommen has become despondent following Cersei's arrest, and that he refuses to eat or see anyone. Finally, just before leaving her, he informs her that "the work continues," presumably referring to his experiments on Ser Gregor Clegane.
After Cersei enters the Red Keep following her walk of atonement, he hastily throws a cloak over her naked body after rushing to her side. He then speaks to Cersei softy and reassuringly as he embraces her, attempting to soothe her. Pycelle looks upon the scene with disgust. Qyburn remarks upon her poor state and bleeding feet. Qyburn then introduces the "newest member of the kingsguard," the 7-8 foot tall abomination he has been working on. At his behest, the golden knight picks her up and they walk away together, further into the Red Keep so Qyburn can clean her up and treat her wounds.

In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Qyburn is a former maester who acts as a healer in the Brave Companions sellsword company. Qyburn never met Robb Stark, nor was he imprisoned while staying at Harrenhal, and he never met Gregor Clegane until after the latter's fight with Oberyn Martell. According to Gendry, Qyburn is rumored to practice black sorcery and necromancy.
Qyburn treats Jaime's festering stump as in the TV series, but Jaime's main reason for refusing milk of the poppy during the process is he does not trust Qyburn not to amputate his whole arm.
When treating Gregor Clegane, Qyburn theorizes that Oberyn had adulterated the manticore venom on his spear with sorcery; thickening it in order to slow its progress through the veins towards the heart, dragging out Gregor's agony.
After Qyburn is made Master of Whisperers, Cersei gives him control over the dungeons, allowing him use the prisoners in his experiments.
Qyburn's character might have been inspired by the Nazi physician Josef Mengele or by the fictional Dr. Frankenstein, or both.

"One extra saltire among a sea of flags seems like a fair way to celebrate," he said.
Someone has added a small saltire to one of the wreaths, paying tribute to a shared history that was forged in battle.
c.1400, an ordinary that resembles a St. Andrew's Cross on a shield or flag, consisting of a bend dexter and a bend sinister crossing each other, from Middle French saultoir, literally "stirrup," from Medieval Latin saltatorium, properly neuter of Latin saltatorius "pertaining to leaping," from salire "to leap" (see salient (adj.)). The connection between a stirrup and the diagonal cross is perhaps the two deltoid shapes that comprise the cross.

ONE of the reasons fossil fuels are so useful - and so hard to replace - is that they are fantastic energy stores. The energy locked up in coal, oil and gas can be carried around and released on demand. The same cannot be said for wind turbines and solar generators. If the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine, they can't perform.
The problem is one of the main obstacles to a renewable energy future. Fortunately, there are signs of progress. This week we report on an experimental technology that could store excess wind or solar energy and release it on demand (see "Power of cool: Liquid air to store clean energy"). The technology itself is nothing new. What is new is that it is being used on a real live electricity grid.
Energy storage devices will never be as cool as the latest solar panel or wind turbine. But they could be the unsung heroes of a much-needed energy revolution.

A Conifer woman who was reported missing at midmorning on Dec. 3 was found Thursday night in Fairplay.
Laurette Doerr, 86, left her home in Conifer on Dec. 3 to visit her daughter in Denver and never arrived. Shortly before she was found a senior Amber Alert was released—the first time the state has done that.
According to Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener, a truck driver who had seen the Amber Alert was traveling on U.S. 285 and spotted Doerr's blue 2000 Subaru Impreza. The truck driver notified the Fairplay Police Department.
A whistle sounds, and Anne Shank, the chosen jammer, breaks away from the pack. The Slaughterhouse Derby Girls from Greeley take off after Anne at a frenetic pace. But not before Pinky 500, who towers at 6 feet tall on her skates, throws a hip and pushes the SDG jammer off the track. Shank continues her run, and the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls take home a stunning 142-38 victory.
Too much ink has been spilled analyzing the presidential election, so I'll keep this part of my column brief. Folks were ready for change — and after eight years of George Bush's rudderless big government-ism, I can't say I blame them. Republicans across the nation took a hit, and rightfully so.
But what happened at the local level defied expectations, and was in many ways a setback for Democrats too.

It's Thanksgiving and an appropriate time to reflect on giving and receiving. A day, a season, perhaps an even longer time to trade in negative dialogue and give it up for someone who has contributed so much to our lives and to many others' as well. This year I've chosen to write about Gloria Steinem. She appeared in our area a couple of times during the election cycle and I felt lucky to be able to hear this icon speak in person at the Lake House.
The things we, the people of Colorado, do to our state constitution are pretty remarkable. Most informed voters know and understand how the conflicting provisions of TABOR, which restricts government collections and expenditures; Amendment 23, which mandates increased spending for K-12 education regardless of the condition of the state treasury or impact on other state programs; and the Gallagher amendment, which creates ever disparate property tax treatment of residential and commercial property ties elected officials' hands and makes it difficult to deliver government services.
A woman accusing the Jefferson County commission and, in particular, Commissioner Jim Congrove of having her fired from a bank holding county funds has agreed to drop the claims.
Garage door openers in cars parked outside homes have been used in a spate of recent home burglaries, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
The trend has become more prevalent since the beginning of November.
The suspects' method is to find an unlocked car parked on the street and use the garage door opener inside the car to open the home's garage. Once inside, suspects enter cars parked inside the garage, where they steal wallets, purses, small electronic devices, and paperwork. At least three vehicles were also stolen from garages.
The distinct sound of a bugle pierced the crisp, sunny morning Nov. 11, when Stony Creek Elementary hosted its annual Veterans Day celebration.
John De Le Garza, the school's principal, an Army veteran and a member of the American GI Forum, invited a few members from his group. The men, dressed in black uniforms with black berets, performed a flag-raising ceremony while one played the bugle. The students and families looked on, and a group of Boy Scouts led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance.
A recent surge in vehicle break-ins and burglaries involving open garage doors has hit South Jeffco, and police are asking residents to avoid helping the criminals to commit the crimes.
"They're assisting the crooks in becoming victims," said Capt. Patricia Woodin, who runs the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office south precinct. She said many of the recent burglaries and car thefts could have been prevented.
SOUTH JEFFCO — A South Jeffco man who had been banned from Southwest Plaza in March made a recent appearance at the mall, and a security guard with a sharp memory was moved to action. The offending party was sitting outside the northwest entrance of the mall, minding his own business, when the guard called the sheriff's office to have a deputy deliver a reminder about his status as a persona non grata. The man told the deputy that he thought his mall privileges had been suspended for just a year, while the mall maintained it had been three.

Query writing - referencing Description and Raw Event column
I notice that when writing queries that certain columns for example (Description and Raw Event) are only available on 'Filter Within Result' when displaying events line by line compared to a query that displays a grpah. Is there anyway to reference these two columns in Filter Criteria? It would be nice to be able to use these two columns when creating a chart/graph.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
As pointed out the first filter is done on the indexing of the event, so event with unique field (like description) cannot and shoul dnot be indexed
The second filter ("Filter within Result") is less performant as it is a console based filter.
So you need to filter as much as possible on the first one and then apply the second filter for optimum performances on your query.
I agree that you can improve the performance by executing a second query within the results. Is there a reason why you can't filter within results when doing a "Event Counts by Field" query? In some situations you only want to consider events matching specific criteria which can not necessarily be deduced from indexed fields.

Overall Experience:
Allegheny is a medium size school. I like the honor system where you can go to other rooms to take your tests. This helps with not having distractions.
Off-Campus Housing:
Most students live on campus. It would probably be cheaper for the student to live off-campus, but the college owns most of the houses in the area. The college has strict policies on living off campus.
Party Scene:
If you are looking to party, you can find a party. A lot of parties are held in one of the frat houses or at one of the sports teams houses.
Off-Campus Dining:
Cost usually is not an issue. Most places in town recognize that a lot of their business comes from the college students. Most places aren't very far from campus either. Discounts are offered at a few places. More discounts would be great! Some of the places to check out are Grace Asian and Julian's.
The Honor Code is run by students and it definitely positively affects our campus.
I did receive a fair amount of aid based on merit from high school. In addition to that, little opportunity was available to receive aid for anything other than merit.
Campus Food:
Brooks is the all you can eat dining hall. It is about $10 per swipe. I have never left Brooks feeling like I got my money's worth of quality and healthy food options. More options are a necessity. Also, being someone with several food allergies, more options should be available to those of us with limitations. McKins has better quality food, yet is very expensive for the food that they serve. They serve the same things all of the time. There is little variety there.
Campus Housing:
The dorms themselves (specifically in Brooks) are small. The high ceilings and easy access to the dining hall are the only amenities to the building. The best living situation on campus is North Village 1. The cost of living on campus is expensive. Also, due to the size of campus, most of the dorms are within a convenient distance from the academic buildings.
Party Scene:
The party scene isn't the best at Allegheny. As a small school, there are limited options. There are lots of off-campus house parties though. However, they are often restricted to certain groups of people (Greeks only, sports only, etc) so they can be difficult to find.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are lots of good places to eat off campus. There is of course a large variety of fast food but there are some good local places to eat. Market House is fantastic especially for breakfast. Compadres is a great Mexican restaurant that many of the college students enjoy.
All faculty take the Honor Code very seriously. It is a benefit to the students though. Students can take exams without a professor sitting at the front of the room staring at you which creates a less stressful environment during testing. Underage drinking occurs frequently and administration doesn't really do anything about it. Security is very strict about parking and is quick to hand out parking tickets if students are not parked in the correct lot (students are assigned parking based on the location of their dorm).
The financial aid process went smoothly for me. I don't have any complaints.
Campus Food:
McKinley's is by far the best place to eat on campus. It has 6 stations in which a variety of food can be purchased such as: a pasta station, grill, salad bar, vegetarian, Mexican, etc. There is not a lot of variety day-to-day. Each station has the same thing each day and some of them will have a daily special. The food here tends to be pricey for what it is. Brooks is the other dining hall on campus. The options at Brooks change daily, but there is always a salad/soup bar, pizza, sandwich bar, and fruit options, etc. Brooks is all you can eat. Brooks can be really good or really bad depending on the day.
Campus Housing:
Allegheny has some great buildings to live in, but also some that aren't so great. Some of the dorms are very old and struggle with mold and dust, like Schultz. North Village I and II are the best places to live on campus. All housing options are very close to academic buildings and dining halls. The housing process is not the best. All students are entered into a "random" lottery and are assigned room numbers. In my time at Allegheny, I never received a number less than 400 (the lower the number the better). So some aspects could be improved, but it certainly isn't the worst place to live.
Campus Housing:
The housing is typical. Rooms are smaller but the bathrooms are pretty bad.
Gym is decent and I attend regularly. Fairly new and intersting
Off-Campus Housing:
Not allowed to live off campus and options are limited
Off-Campus Dining:
Very limited options close to campus other than fast food
Party Scene:
i don't usually party so I don't really know and I, not sure about parking issues
They give nice scholarship money but the cost is still very high
Campus Food:
Need more variety and choices with healthier selections
Campus Housing:
Dorms are ok but need more apartment style housing
Off-Campus Housing:
It's hard to get off-campus housing. You either have to be cleared for commuter status or be a senior. It's a hassle and easier to try to get an on-campus house. The quality of off-campus housing is okay. There isn't much variety as it's a very small and slightly run-down town.
Off-Campus Dining:
there's about one good restaurant, timber creek tap and table. The rest is mostly just fast food and chains. Though it's cheap, it's obviously not good. sometimes it beats Brooks, but it could be better, especially given the college students willingness to spend money on better options
administration is actually very lenient about parties and drinking as long as students do it safely and responsibly. The honor code is very strict and is enforced by a committee, but don't cheat or get rowdy at parties and you should be fine. Campus parking is awful and it's difficult to find a spot, but even though you pay for the permit, don't even think about parking in the wrong lot. You will be ticketed multiple times and while a $10 ticket doesn't seem like much, they can start to add up.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Something commonly heard from recent graduates is how much easier graduate programs were after the rigorous Allegheny courseload. Whether at grad school or at their first job out of college, Allegheny graduates have the skills to succeed in their fields. When considering their time at Allegheny, most students are very thankful for the education they received and all of the great people they got to know. There are so many different kinds of people and points of view that students are encouraged to do anything they truly want to do. Most people feel that they have really grown and changed as a result of the Allegheny experience—and in a good way.
There are students who have regrets or who feel they were in some way disappointed with their Allegheny education or experience. For one thing, Meadville does not provide the kinds of opportunities or the nightlife that a big-city university would. Succeeding at Allegheny is a lot of work and students looking for a party school will not find it here. It takes a lot of time and effort, and for some, it might not be worth it. But all that time and effort is meant to pay off, and for hard-working students, it does.

im newbie here,,i want ask something…can we import file from another software for example 3ds max to Daz 3d or Maya to Daz 3d.?
Moving this to DS discussions
Chohole's Space NeilV's Freebies and stuff Summer 1 Bryce Rendering Challenge July Freebie Challenge
My DAZ 3D Gallery 11915
The answer is 'it depends'. DAZ Studio can read OBJ, BVH and DAE. The DAZ Studio 4.5 release candidate 2 can import FBX but this is a recent addition and it probably doesn't work flawlessly yet. So if you can export to from 3Dsmax or Maya as OBJ+BVH or DAE or FBX you can probably get the file with animation inside DAZ Studio. There are tools to convert 3DS to OBJ for free (like Poseray, for example). I'm not sure if the native Maya save (.ma?) can be converted, but you should have export options from either Maya or 3Dsmax.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
If you're looking for a fun and fast way to learn multiplication (instead of memorizing times tables), look no further! Author Greg Tang and artist Harry Briggs have put together an irresistible picture book that lets multiplying be as easy as 1-2-3.
In Tang's introduction, he explains that by using his techniques -- along with "being clever and using a little common sense" -- children will easily go beyond the basic times tables and develop an "intuitive understanding of multiplication." His methods are right on. In simple rhymes, Tang explains the fundamentals of how each number from 1 to 10 works. His poem "Four Eyes," for example, explains how any number multiplied by four can be merely doubled twice: "Four is very fast to do, when you multiply by 2. Here's a little good advice -- please just always double twice!" He then goes on to explain: "What is 4x4? It's 4 doubled twice. Double once: 4+4=8. Double twice: 8+8=16," and he even provides extra challenge questions below. All of his poems and problems are just as easy (e.g., a number times 6 is tripled, then doubled; a number times 9 is multiplied by 10, then subtracted once), and the book is rounded out with full practice tables in the back.
Tang provides children with an excellent lesson, helping them make sense of daunting math without a bombardment of complicated rules. Kids will cheer his winsome presentation, which is wonderfully complemented by Harry Brigg's computer illustrations of animals cavorting around and having fun. Both practical and pleasing, The Best of Times is math that'll help make homework and tests a breeze. Matt Warner

It could be as simple as making certain your calculator has batteries. You cannot get your accounting homework done for tomorrows class if your calculator konks out at midnight. Who wants to head to the local bodega or drug store at the hour?
A game plan for your class or classes is also good preparation.
Commit to study time and block it out on your calendar so that Facebook posts and pizza breaks do not take up all your time. Three hours of self-study for every credit hour is a good rule of thumb. Gak, you say! That much time? Well if you are getting straight A's on less, call me impressed. Most of us are not that brilliant.
Fill our your calendar with key dates and deadlines. Make certain you have read the syllabus for each class and know test dates and assignment deadlines. Review the professor's policies on how assignments are to be handed submitted. It is ugly to learn at 8:00 pm that you really do not have until Midnight on the deadline day and the professor wants that paper submitted by 5:00 pm.
Review each class and develop a study strategy. Is the professor hard to understand? Maybe tape recordings of lectures will be valuable. Is there a disconnection between the professor's lecture and the assigned text? Read the text before class and listen for key words from the text in the professor's lecture. There may be a greater connection than you think.
Even just a bit of preparation when you have time could make the rest of the semester seem like a holiday.

25 year old man | Phoenix, AZ, USA | Seeking men 22-28 within 50 miles
Anchor where your roots get the most water
I am an outdoorsy person, usually open for a new adventure. I am fond of music, culture, and arts. I have a strong will, and sometimes I'm stubborn, but I'm loyal to my friends and family. I like to think that I'm clever and witty, and I have a broad sense of humor. Something of a history geek, and I adore stimulating conversation. I love to camp. A fondness or an appreciation for nature is something sort of important to me. Mostly, I'm trying to relax and let life take me where it will. This doesn't mean I don't have goals or ambitions, but I'm concerned with enjoying my life in the here and now as much as I'm concerned with enjoying it in the future. Loyalty, honesty, and trust are very important to me. I want to be able to be relaxed and comfortable with someone who has a good balance of humor and seriousness. I want to find someone who suits me well, who I could see myself with years into the future. Someone who can stand beside me with his head held high.

I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
I like pretty much any animal you can think of throwing at me. Well... I might not like them if you ACTUALLY threw them at me, but I am fond of animals. I grew up with just a few critters short of a menagerie.
Middle of the Road
I listen to a great deal of music. My favorite bands and artists are Epica, Tarja Turunen, Kamelot, Loreena McKennitt, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Within Temptation. In music, I usually listen to artists who write things I can identify with.
I like going to movies, local events, and cultural festivals. As the weather warms up, I like to get out of town once in awhile and up into the mountains and prettier parts of AZ. I can just as easily spend a weekend being a homebody, too.
The Mists of Avalon - Definitely my favorite book

29 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 50 miles
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
I am quirky, passionate, and big-hearted. I am hard-working and committed to some important causes. I love exploring outdoors, traveling, concert-going, conversing, learning, relaxing, and hanging with friends... I want someone who will help me put down the computer and go have some good times. I am open to trying new things, places, and people! My ideal match is honest with a strong sense of humor, some life experience, and a desire for fun and adventure. He works hard and plays hard, like me. He gets along with most people, and is positive, faithful, and caring. I am truly not so concerned with specifics around looks, finances, educational status, career success, criminal history, etc., however: cigarette smokers, dog-haters, drama-lovers, cocky lawyers, and staunch Republicans need not apply. Eventually, I would also love to have someone who supports me, allows me to support him, and... likes traveling to islands and tree houses (or maybe would like to live on an island in a tree house with me someday). Maybe he has an awesome dog, too. But maybe I'm being too picky. I would like a "good guy" who knows how to be bad once in a while, isn't perfect or expecting me to be, can laugh at himself, and can be affectionate / romantic occasionally. I get along with everyone, men and women, am not the jealous type at all, and would like the same in a partner. I love card games, but not mind games. I am happy and independent, but also subscribe to the belief that, to some degree, "happiness is only real when shared" (Into the Wild).
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Volunteering , Watching sports
Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
My 16-year-old Siberian Husky, Rocky, passed away in February. I would love to date someone who has a dog, and either way, will probably get a new furry companion in the near future.
Very Liberal
Kaladi or Stella's for a coffee shop (I actually only drink tea). Rooftops and happy hours after work. I like South Pearl and Larimer Square, but would much prefer to drive up to Lyons, Estes, Pine, or otherwise get out of the city when there's time.
University of Denver, Denver, CO
I like any live music from folk and bluegrass to rock / jam, super hero movies, Survivor, and will eat anything except pickles and mayo. I'm all about good sushi, tapas, thai, mexican, seafood, fondue, you name it. No pickles or mayo. None.
Hiking, camping, yoga, music, reading, hot-springsing (or as a back-up, hot-tubbing), knitting, road trips, friends, sprawling out on a beach anywhere, tubing, snuggling. Newly, watching football on Sundays... but I don't really know what's going on.

When it comes to crazy everything is relative. Unfortunately for Wanda Jo, they're all hers... On her fortieth birthday housewife Wanda Jo Ashton is expecting her husband's standard gift of an E an E from T--that being Elegant and Expensive from Tiffany's. However, what she gets is the news that her formerly successful, dependable, corporate attorney husband is leaving her to pursue the rich life of a kept man. Left with nothing, she has no choice but to escape the San Francisco area, with her sixteen-year old daughter in tow, and head toward the mountains of West Virginia and the quirky family she left behind twenty years ago. Here Wanda Jo must carve out a future, complete with career and home in the midst of family feuds, computer phobias and the occasional homebrewing explosion before she finally figures out life can indeed began again at forty.

For a time after the Civil War, the name Tar Heel was derogatory. Other legends developed to explain it claims it ...

If you are a parent, educator, librarian or caregiver for a deaf or hard of hearing child, you may be struggling with how to create a meaningful experience for them through books and reading. Our Gateway to Reading event, offered in partnership with Gallaudet University, Austin Community College District, Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind, and Rocky Mountain Deaf School, can help.
During this workshop you will learn about effective book sharing techniques outlined in The 15 Principles of Reading to Deaf Children. These principles are based on book sharing strategies deaf adults use when reading to deaf and hard of hearing children. Topics covered include: why reading is important, how to use sign language to share stories, reading while not knowing all the signs, and keeping American Sign Language and English visible while reading.
A knowledge of sign language is not necessary to attend this event. Food will be provided from 5-5:30 p.m., and for children who accompany their parents, storytelling, storytime and activities will be offered.
Registration is required – please email firstname.lastname@example.com no later than Friday, Nov. 29.
Belmar Library5-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5
This Saturday is Family Volunteer Day. Haven't heard of it? Neither had I, until I was having a conversation with someone who works with Metro Volunteers. To my surprise, this event has been going on for 22 years! It always takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving, a great way to start off the season of giving.
This year's Family Volunteer Day event takes place from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Children's Museum of Denver (this event is free, but you'll need to pay an admission fee if you want to do more at the Museum). Metro Volunteers will have projects you can work on and there will be more than 15 other organizations that offer volunteer opportunties for the whole family in attendance. While JCPL won't be at this event, we are always looking for volunteers and have several opportunities for various age groups.
Share this information with your friends and family, and think about volunteering your time and talents in the community!
You heard me right. Sometimes quitting isn't a bad thing. Our friends over at Jeffco Public Health are encouraging tobacco users of all sorts to Quit for a Day, or even better Quit for Life, during the annual Great American Smokeout.
Did you know that tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death in the U.S.? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates cigarette smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke causes 443,000—or 1 in 5 deaths each year!
If you want to take the tobacco-free challenge, there are steps to take now that will help you prepare and significantly increase your chances for success.
Congratulations and good luck if you take the leap!
Fact: In Jefferson County, more than 10,000 children under the age of six are living in poverty, and only a fraction of these children are served by Head Start or other quality preschool programs. Our Start with a Story program delivers early literacy storytimes to at-risk children in licensed day care centers.
Christina, one of our Start With a Story volunteers, says that she volunteers because she knows how critical storytimes are for children, especially those who can't get to the library and who may not have access to reading and books in the home. In fact, all three of her children attend library storytimes and have learned to love and value reading! Her wish,"I'd love to see every child in Jefferson County have access to the same positive experiences my children have."
Give the gift of reading to every child. Donate today…
The West Chamber held it's annual Celebrate Women of Jefferson County event today and honored a dozen women whose dedication, perserverance and accomplishments have inspired so many.

If these women have inspired you to learn more about women who have made a lasting impression in society, stop by the Lakewood Library to check out their featured display of books on successful women.
Fact: More than a third of the children in Jefferson County live in poverty. Many of these children don't have books and are not read to at home.
According to Mary Kuehner, JCPL's Traveling Children's Librarian, research shows that being read to as a child and having books in the home are the two most important indicators of future academic success. This information is not lost on us. JCPL makes sure our poorest and youngest residents experience both. We visit local Head Start and other preschool classes to deliver bilingual early-literacy storytimes to at-risk children, and we make sure every child gets a book of their own to take home. Teachers across the county have said that they can see evidence of the children's increased early literacy skills as a direct result of this program.
Give the gift of reading to every child. Donate now…
For more than a year now, JCPL staff have been engaged in envisioning a new future for the Library, one that touches every area of library service, from materials, to staffing, to facilities.
The full implementation of this new model of service will take some time as we work to balance our unlimited potential with limited resources. Consequently, we have focused initially on changes that don't require additional investment to accomplish.
For example, in the past few months, we've introduced a new way to staff the libraries and reach out into the community. We've moved many of our staff into new jobs, accountabilities, and/or locations and created robust training programs to help them meet the information demands of the 21st century. We believe this new way of doing business will surprise and delight you and greatly enhance our ability to provide exceptional service.
While much of this has gone on quietly, behind the scenes, some of you have noticed that a favorite staff member may have changed jobs or locations. Not to worry; we predict you'll soon find new favorites as we go forward.
We'll be implementing more pieces of our vision and sharing our accomplishments as they unfold. But for now, our staff is working diligently to make your library experiences better and better!
Fact: More than 90 percent of brain development happens between the ages of birth and five.
Reading aloud to babies and toddlers promotes positive brain development and helps to build important pre-reading skills. That's why JCPL provides thousands of early-literacy storytimes every year. By doing so, we help our youngest residents get the best possible start in life. This year, the Library Foundation is raising money to support the following storytime opportunities:
As a reminder to our loyal patrons: all JCPL locations will be closed, Monday Nov. 11 in observance of the Veteran's Day holiday.
Then, later this month, we will be closed Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 28 for Thanksgiving.
We hope you stock up on materials to enjoy however you'll be spending your time off!
Hard to believe elections are just two weeks away. Do you have all the information you need to make an informed decision? If not, we can help. At many of our locations, you can find information from individuals running for office and for groups representing specific ballot measures. Just look for the information tables.
The Jeffco Clerk & Recorder has a wealth of information as well. From what is on the ballot for each city to polling center locations. You will find what you're looking for.
Make sure you exercise your voting privilges this year!

As far as Garak in this episode...I would have thought enduring the treatment the Bajorans did would've taught him a lesson--but no. I hate to say this...but I would've liked to see him suffer more. He deserved it.
Well there's morality for you. Really Garak isn't so much an evil person as a person who lacks any morals whatsoever. Evil people usually know what they're doing is wrong on some level, even if they try and justify it. Dukat's a good example of this for example. Good, evil, right, wrong, these are just labels others use to define themselves and often enough limit themselves, to Garak.
Garak had the same outlook when he was in power and when he was in exile, and even in this episode when he's in the proverbial slave pens. One side had the power and used it. That was just the way it worked. He would apply that power ruthlessly if need be when he had it. Likewise he expected the people who had it in this episode to apply it equally ruthlessly.
Really the only two people Garak seemed to break this mindset over were Tain and Mila. His parents, and what a screwed up family that was. As for Garak deserving to suffer? Well I'm sure there are varying opinions on that. I will say one of Star Trek's themes was, that humanity was supposed to be beyond such base desires.
