Over at Salon, Richard Eskow—writer, policy analyst and Senior Fellow with the Campaign for America's Future, according to his bio—offers up what may be the very worst idea I've heard all week. Possibly even all month.
Here's Eskow's argument in a nutshell: Because they spy on us, because they are near-monopolies, and because they are built on the back of American infrastructure and publicly funded research, the American government should nationalize Google and Amazon.
In Eskow's own words:
They were created with publicly funded technologies, and prospered as the result of indulgent policies and lax oversight. They've achieved monopoly or near-monopoly status, are spying on us to an extent that's unprecedented in human history, and have the potential to alter each and every one of our economic, political, social and cultural transactions.
In fact, they're already doing it.
Public utilities? It's a thought experiment worth conducting.
I'm not sure I agree that it's "a thought experiment worth conducting." It's such an enormously bad idea that at first I thought it was a parody piece. I don't think it is.
First of all, the government has no reason to take over and manage a search engine / advertising company or a successful online retailer. The government has no similar entities under its auspices and we have no reason to believe that the state would manage the business of two of America's most successful corporations efficiently or in the best interests of the consumer.
In fact, it's quite likely that a Google government agency would immediately begin losing money and that whatever convenience consumers enjoy currently with Amazon would disappear overnight. And we'd quickly migrate elsewhere, leaving said nationalized corporations without a public mission.
Eskow's other major concern—that these corporations are spying on us—is hardly an argument to turn them over to the government.
You know, the US government, the government that runs the NSA with its iPhone surveillance, its laptop interception program, its giant octopus-adorned spy satellite, its agents placed even in video games, the PRISM program, and so forth.
Giving the government total access to all this data is essentially the crux of the problem with PRISM. Corporations worked with the government to let them into our private lives. If we nationalize Google and Amazon, all we really achieve is cutting out the middle men.
Finally, the argument that somehow taking a near-monopoly (which is a debatable point to begin with for both Google and Amazon) and transforming them into a total monopoly and public utility, is almost laughably short-sighted. How would the government set prices for Amazon's myriad products? How would the public utility status impact Amazon's relationship to third parties? The government has struggled to run a website like Healthcare.gov properly, yet we're to believe that it can manage Amazon's server business?
And how would the government preserve top talent at a corporation like Google once all the employees were state workers? Would either company continue to innovate? Sure, public funds have gone into tech research, universities, and so forth, but this is a fundamentally different thing than nationalizing successful tech companies.
There may be an argument to be made for public options in broadband and internet service. Infrastructure has always been one of the state's most basic roles. But to suggest that two of the nation's most successful companies ought to become creatures of the state is horrific at best.
It's also an argument that applies just as easily to Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and, if you leave the realm of tech, just about any other major US corporation. After all, every American company is guilty of building itself off of the public infrastructure. That's one of the purposes of our public roads, pipes, and wires: to help businesses flourish, and individuals prosper.
Essentially, if you'd like to undermine the entire American economy, halt innovation and technological progress in its tracks, and just phone it in from here on out, take Eskow's advice seriously.
If you'd like to see more innovation, more high-tech start-ups, and economic growth, then take a less hyperbolic stance. There are problems with these companies, including privacy concerns, working conditions (at some of Amazon's warehouses, for instance) and how American corporations operate with partners overseas (Apple and FoxConn, etc.)
Simply taking the most drastic measure possible isn't the same thing as having a good idea. Usually, it's just the opposite.

What's This
Submitted by:Bert Adkins
As Motor Officers, we need to train our eyes to use more of our peripheral vision to scan, and less of our direct vision. By retraining our eye movement to conduct head checks in the following manner, we can avoid accidents. When making head checks, turn our head 90 degrees left or right, (no further) and let our eyes see 180 degrees. In this manner we will never miss what's in front of us and still we can observe what's behind us and we never miss those blind spots.

The null point seems to calibrate in both channels, but I have not left in for an extended period of time.
I figure the densitometer is ok as the results are reproducible and seem to be accurate, at least on the visible channel which is the one I can check against my color densitometer.
As you say I will order the lamp just to have a spare on hand, thanks again Michael.

This is soo yummy! Can use a container of Cool Whip instead of mixing some up. We like it with raspberries.
If you love cheesecake, you'll love this. Also good with blackberry pie filling.
Been making this for years. Love it! I usually just use a container of Cool Whip just to save time, but I know the the whip topping mix would taste better. Thanks!

A Louisville man was arrested and charged with impersonating a Carroll County Sheriff's Office deputy.
By MIKE WYNN
The Courier-Journal
Starting this summer, parents will be required to keep children secured in booster seats a little longer under a new state law that aims to improve safety in motor vehicles.
The law, enacted in this year's legislative session, includes two key changes related to age and height that parents should heed, otherwise they could face a $25 fine.
The city will be applying for a federal grant to construct a paved trail along the Kentucky River. Carroll County Community Development Corporation Executive Director Bob Yoder said the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant is a 50-50 matching grant, and applications are due by April 30.
Ghent Fire Protection District and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to a fire alarm at Landmark Apartments on Hwy. 36 Thursday, April 9. The cause of the fire was attributed to a toaster oven that had been left on.
Kathryn Winn's new after-school pickup routine begins Monday.
Thanks to a parking lot expansion behind the Board of Education building, Kathryn Winn parents will not be waiting as long to pick up their children after school. On Monday, parents will begin using two new pickup paths so that Ninth Street will no longer be blocked by stopped vehicles and so that students will have more safe crossing areas.
Carroll County Board of Education approved two change orders for the Carroll County Middle School construction project and a revised BG-3 for the Carroll County High School athletic complex upgrades at a special board meeting April 9.
Change order 19 will cost $2,641 and includes an additional nine exit signs plus the installation of 16 exit signs.
Carrollton City Council aims to change the city's comprehensive plan to accommodate car lots within the C1 district in downtown. The district encompasses the center of Seventh Street to the Kentucky River and from the center of Sycamore Street to the Ohio River–except for the block from Fourth Street to Fifth Street and from Sycamore Street to Highland Avenue, which is zoned residential (R-2).
The rain on April 2-3, created numerous problems for the Carroll County. Carroll County Judge-Executive Bobby Lee Westrick said there was devastation from Locust to Ghent after the storm.
"Locust was the hardest hit area," he said.
County Road Supervisor Gene Clayton concurred, saying at the fiscal court meeting April 14, that all of the water rolling through there clogged the culverts with debris. Magistrate Floyd Bowling reported 3 feet of water coming down Locust.
While the Kentucky General Assembly finally passed a heroin bill at the 11th hour, there are still several areas that are troublesome to Commonwealth Attorney James Crawford and to local law enforcement.

Traditional Pfeffenuse cookie
|For cookie
|2 Teaspoon
|For finishing
|Fondant icing
|1 Tablespoon
|Brown sugar
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Large
|1⁄8 Cup (2 tbs)
|Baking soda
|1 1⁄4 Tablespoon
|1 1⁄4 Tablespoon
|Crushed anise seed
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|1 1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Citron peel
|1 Ounce, diced
|Orange peel
|2 Tablespoon, diced
|Lemon peel
|2 Tablespoon, diced
|Ground walnuts
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Cake flour
|4 3⁄4 Cup (76 tbs)
|Egg whites
|8 Ounce
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the brown sugar and the shortening until light and creamy. Add the honey, eggs, milk, baking soda, cinnamon, crushed anise seed and the salt. Stir till blended. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, especially the bottom of the bowl. Mix the peels and the nuts with the flour. Stir into the cookie mixture and mix till combined. Remove the mix from the bowl and chill briefly. This will make the dough easier to shape. Roll the dough into tubes about 1" thick. Slice the tubes into individual cookies about ½" thick. Dust the cookies with all-purpose flour. (I prefer rye flour as it complements the taste) Roll the cookies into small balls. Place the cookies onto parchment paper lined sheets and bake in a 350° oven until slightly firm. (Approx. 15 minutes depending on your oven and how big you rolled the cookies!) Remove from the oven and prepare the finishing recipe.
Whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until a soft peak is formed. Melt the fondant in a small pot over a medium flame until the fondant comes to a boil. Be careful not to overheat the fondant it will burn! Pour the fondant very slowly into the egg whites while they are whisking. The eggs must be whipping at the time you pour the fondant in or they will cook and you will have to start all over again. Whip until the egg whites are a medium to stiff peak.
To finish the cookies, place some of the baked cookies into a large bowl. Only fill half way or you may crush the cookies. Add a handful of the whipped whites. Fold the meringue and the cookies together gently to fully coat the cookies. Then add a scoop or two of powdered sugar to the cookies and fold again to fully coat the cookies. Place in a large sifter and roll the cookies around. This will round them and make them look perfect. Continue this procedure for all of the cookies.

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here's a look at some enemy chatter from Minnesota. "They were making a lot of shots," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "I can't tell you [what went wrong] until I look at it, but I thought we were playing well. But in the second half they took control." Blame one man: Rajon Rondo. The 32 points were the most by a Wolves opponent in the third quarter this season. But the Celtics also outrebounded the Wolves and had a 15-9 edge on points off turnovers. "They just scored. A lot," guard J.J. Barea said. "They just did a good job of hitting open shots. Basically, they were more aggressive in every aspect of the game." Star Tribune Fairly simple analysis. The Celtics won last night's game because of their offense and Rajon Rondo played a big role. Are the Celtics really an offense-oriented team, as ESPN blogger Zach Harper suggests? I wouldn't go that far. While their defensive stats have sli

It's strange to see the cavernous, usually bustling Tel Aviv central bus station empty and still. That's what happens on Saturday mornings, when all the many entrances are locked and the labyrinthine hulk that combines busy bus terminals and a low-end shopping center resembles a grimy ghost town.

Mahler's Ninth on New Releases, Saturday, June 15th
By Mark Pinto
Tune in this Saturday, June 15th, after the opera, when Mark Pinto will host a special New Releases. He's stretching out and broadcasting for us Mahler's last completed symphony, the Ninth. We can't spill the beans on whose recording it is, but it's gotten raves! You will not be disappointed.
If you have the time to tune in just for this monument of orchestral literature, get to your radio or point your browser to wrti.org by about 4:15 pm.
Gustav Mahler finished this symphony in 1909 but never lived to hear it, dying two years later while working on his Tenth. But we can hear it Saturday on the radio! It's the Symphony No. 9 of Gustav Mahler, Saturday afternoon on WRTI, after the opera, on New Releases with Mark Pinto.

Orioles have interest in A.J. Burnett if he chooses to extend career
Dec 13, 2013, 8:20 PM EDT
MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that the Orioles are feeling out free agent pitcher A.J. Burnett's interest in prolonging his career. If the right-hander wants to go for one more season, the Orioles will want to start a discussion. Kubatko adds that the O's already met with representatives of Burnett at the winter meetings in Florida.
Burnett will turn 37 years old on January 3. He has been weighing retiring after 15 seasons in the Majors or coming back for another season. He spent 2013 with the Pirates, helping them end a 21-year playoff drought by posting a 3.30 ERA in 191 innings and leading the league averaging 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings.
- dirtydavid4 - Dec 13, 2013 at 8:43 PM
Hope he gets paid nicely from the O's the Pirates are fools if they don't spend the money and sign this man AJ deserves just as much credit as the pitching coach Ray Searage for getting that rotation turned around AJ is a leader
- paperlions - Dec 14, 2013 at 10:04 AM
Hard to re-sign a guy when he won't discuss a contract because he hasn't yet decided if he wants to play next year or not.
Considering the O's apparent budget crunch, it would seem unlikely they could sign him since he's likely to command at least $12M on a one-year deal and probably closer to $15M.
- simjef - Dec 13, 2013 at 8:55 PM
I remember when the Orioles tried to get him once before,also he would add some stability to the rotation
- mmeyer3387 - Dec 13, 2013 at 9:10 PM
You are right, clearly the Orioles need pitching.
- steelers88 - Dec 13, 2013 at 9:02 PM
I really hope the Pirates can resign him. He would fit well in Baltimore because he lives so close to the city. However I don't I'm not sure he wants to go back to the AL East and pitch in a hitters ballpark again. But if this is the end I wish you well AJ. it's been one HELL of a ride. You will truly be one of my favorite Pirates. Thank You AJ for helping to turn the Pirates around.
- yournuts - Dec 13, 2013 at 10:01 PM
AJ, don't go back to the American League. Stay with the Bucs. You did a wonderful job with the Pirates and you will succeed in Pittsburgh.
- pisano - Dec 14, 2013 at 12:30 AM
He'll get lit up again in the AL if he comes back. If he's smart he'll stay in the NL, either that, or retire.
- benrob99 - Dec 14, 2013 at 10:31 AM
If the Bucs would even come CLOSE to fair market value AJ would already be signed. Instead they'd rather screw around with bums like Volquez.
- jimmymarlinsfan - Dec 14, 2013 at 11:45 AM
Being that my cousin is AJ's best friend on the team, it's either Pittsburgh or retirement to spend time with family.
- thepittsburghkid - Dec 14, 2013 at 2:55 PM
Yeah, your cousin is Jeff Locke. I hope that's still true.
- jimmymarlinsfan - Dec 15, 2013 at 12:41 AM
Why would it not still be true? Do bloodlines magically change?
- ravensdac - Dec 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM
Considering his wife is from baltimore and he lives here in monkton in off season, him signing here would extend his career and let him be with family. So….tell your cousins best friends cousin, wrong.
- jimmymarlinsfan - Dec 15, 2013 at 12:44 AM
If he signs with Baltimore, it's because they make him he can't refuse…which would mean over the top…and I don't think the orioles go there….that's the baseball fan in me though
- thepittsburghkid - Dec 15, 2013 at 1:00 PM
I meant the information regarding AJ being true.

I would have just placed an incident light meter in front of the model, pointed toward the camera, using a reflector to bounce sun light on her. The incident metering will place the skin tone just right and make the backlit hair "shine" which I suppose is the intended effect (not entirely reached, which makes me think the exposure is actually a bit too scarce for the shot). The dynamic range of the negative colour film would hopefully retain the detail on the vegetation behind, which should be around 2.5 EV above the shade and well inside the negative film comfort zone.
Personally I would place the model hands differently so as to avoid the risk of blowing the highlights on the hands. If the hair have to "shine" in contre-jour, they should be the only part directly hit by sunlight.

Our first time staying at a B&B in Cape May and it was amazing. The room was much nicer than the pictures on the website! The breakfasts were amazing and Diana is so nice and friendly. Definitely check them out on your next visit to Cape May!

We can't say enough about our second stay at the Dormer House. Dennis was so helpful in taking our last minute reservations, and went out of his way to accommodate us with our late arrival. When we pulled in at 8:00pm, everything was exactly as promised. The room was perfect, and as usual, the bed was very comfortable. We wanted to see the Christmas lights throughout the town, and of all of the B&B's, the Dormer House lights were the most amazing. A delicious breakfast welcomed us in the morning. Thanks to all of the staff for another perfect visit. It's great to have a destination spot in this wonderful shore point! We'll be back for sure.

We stayed for two nights at this lovely B&B and have nothing but praise for the accommodations and the hospitality. Since its the Christmas season the house was decorated beautifully. We took one of the evening trolley tours and The Dormer House by far was decorated the best. The breakfasts were delicious and the owners daughter was a gracios hostess. We would definitely stay again.

Very nicely decorated both inside and out for the Holiday season. Probably the best Holiday lighting in all of Cape May, NJ.

Conveniently location in the heart of the historic section, a short walk to the Washington Street Mall, beach. Nicely situated on a corner lot with wraparound enclosed porch adorned with windows. Home cooked breakfast is served restaurant-style on the porch. Looks lovely when lit up at night. Tasteful afternoon tea with homemade baked goods, assorted teas and a pitcher of sherry served in the antique filled parlor. Innkeepers hospitable and friendly. Very "homey" atmosphere.

We have been here twice for our Anniversary. Spacious and numerous common areas both indoors and out. These areas and afternoon tea remain available on checkout day as well. Husband and I enjoyed sitting in the living room playing chess & having a beer while winding down in the evening. Coffee and tea are available in the living room at all times which is great when you want an evening cup of tea but don't want to go out. Full hot breakfast is served at individual tables on the enclosed porch (in the Fall) and is simple but delicious. Cold options are also available. The rooms we have stayed in have been lovely, older but comfortable. And off-street on-site lot parking ensures that you don't have to walk a mile in foul weather to retrieve something you forgot in the car. The location is closer to the beach then it feels like on the tree lined street. We will keep coming back.

It was my first stay at the Dormer house this weekend. It really was a perfect stay! The staff is SO friendly and accommodating. The rooms are typical B&B style rooms but spotless!! The porch is wonderful, I never wanted to leave their porch swing! The breakfast was delicious. We didn't make it to tea time unfortunately. Upon checkout the staff offered us to use their showers, beach chairs and come for afternoon tea time since we would be in the Cape May area. I thought this was so nice of them! The location is also perfect, walking distance to the beach, shopping and good eats! I have nothing but good things to say and in the future wouldn't stay elsewhere!

This was my first stay at The Dormer House. A great old B&B with all the charms of a bygone era and the conveniences of the internet era. Breakfasts were wonderful as were the treats during afternoon tea. Very comfortable rooms and very pleasant staff.

Our first time in Cape May...we found the staff very courteous, friendly and helpful. The room was very nice as advertised. Food was delicious. Location was great...just a few blocks from the beach, and a few from the shops and eateries. Would definitely go back to the Dormer House...Steve N

We have not been to the Dormer House for more than ten years. We used to stay here regularly (summertime) when we lived in the East (now live in the SW). The B&B is still a very pleasant place to stay while at the Shore. The food and service were excellent, and the porch is a very relaxing place to spend the evening hours. We will not wait ten years for a return visit!

I am in that phase of my life where I am exclusively breastfeeding, I have a three-month-old baby, and it's Ramadan. This is that elusive phase where I can get away with not fasting. The question remains: should I? Considering that I have been blessed to fast all my adult life, and part of my childhood too, I am reflecting on what the past Ramadans have been for me, in order to decide which way to choose this year.SpiritualityRamadan is about how much closer to Allah we get during this m … [Read more...]
Dance Is How I Get Close to God: An Interview with Dancer and Upcoming Actress Isha Farha
Born into a family where art is a compulsion, Isha Farha started learning dance at the age of three from her mother, Kalamandalam Haseena. She is now adept in various Indian dance forms, including Bharathnatayam , Mohiniyattam, and Kuchipudi. She won the title of Kalathilakam in 2008 for excellence in the field of Bharathnatyam, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudy, folkdance, one-act play and storytelling. She is the founder of the dance teaching institute Bharatha Bharathi.An engineer by profession, … [Read more...]
Between Sainu and Shahina: A character sketch of two Muslim women characters in Indian Cinema
With the recent controversy surrounding Arabi Kalayanam (the term used to describe the practice of marrying young girls from Kerala, India to Arab men for a lesser dowry), and legalizing marriage for Muslim girls younger than 18 years of age, I was reminded of T.V Chandran's 2003 movie, Padam Onnu Oru Vilapam (Chapter One: A Wail). It is probably the only Malayalam movie which dives deeply into the multiple social evils that are still prevalent among Muslims in the Malabar community of Ker … [Read more...]
Age Is Not Just a Number: A Look into the Recent Controversy about Legalizing Child Marriages among Kerala Muslims
The last few months have witnessed an uproar in my home state, Kerala, surrounding the government's release of a circular legalizing the registration of marriages of Muslim women younger than 18 years old and Muslim men younger than 21 years old. India, though a secular country, allows Muslims to follow the Muslim Personal Law in all civil matters. This is one of the reasons why a Muslim man can legally marry up to four wives, and can divorce his wife with the triple talaq, while a person of any … [Read more...]
My Vicarious Eid
Continuing our tradition of sharing reflections on Eid (see our posts from Eid-ul-Adha last year, in two parts, and from Eid-ul-Fitr this year), today we'll be posting four reflections from Eid last week, written by Eren, Izzie, Krista, and Shireen.All my life, I have enjoyed Eid. As a child, it used to be about waking up early and getting dressed in my brand new dress. Once I became an independent adult woman who realised she in fact could go to the mosque, I started doing that. Though wome … [Read more...]
Solitude and Family: The Best of Both Worlds
As a child, I once visited my aunt in her husband's house during Ramadan. She had dark circles around her eyes due to lack of sleep, and she was haggard and toiling in the kitchen. She told us that her husband and his brothers all had "varied" food habits when it came to breaking the fast. And since her mother-in-law was too old to help, she had to do it all herself. This image became nightmarish for me. What about Ramadan's spiritual benefits? In this case, won't women dread Ramadan, if it mean … [Read more...]

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 11/7/12
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Two years ago the Texas Rangers waited for Cliff Lee to make a decision on his future before they moved ahead with their offseason plans. That's not going to be the case with the Rangers this year with Josh Hamilton. "Obviously with Josh you don't know where that's going to go," said team president Nolan Ryan. "What you're going to have to do is I don't think we can sit around and say we have to wait and see what happens with Josh. We'll get a feel here shortly where we think that might be going. Also we have to be out there seeing what opportunities are out there whether there's an opportunity to improve the ball club. If you just sit back and wait you might miss an opportunity you can regret." Ryan is a fan or shorter contract and doesn't like to give deals that are longer than three or four years. But that doesn't always hold true for position players, where he's more flexible. Hamilton has until Friday to accept or reject the team's qualifying offer of 13...

Ny Tid
|Weekly News magazine
|Dag Herbjørnsrud
|Political alignment
|Left-wing politics
|Oslo, Norway
|4,774 (2009)
Ny Tid (English: New Time) is Norway's only international news magazine, published in Newsweek-format every Friday. It is currently owned by new media group, Monitor Medier.
Ny Tid is headed by author and historian Dag Herbjørnsrud who was formerly the political columnist for Al-Jazeera's English website. [1]
Political Past[edit]
Ny Tid's predecessor was the weekly Orientering, which was founded as an independent weekly in January 1953.
The magazine gained notability thanks to the quality, reputation, and success of its writers including Sigurd Evensmo (the first editor-in-chief), Jens Bjørneboe, and Johan Borgen. Evensmo was a member of the Student's Communist Organisation and had been active in the resistance against the Nazis in Norway; Bjørneboe was a self-described anarcho-nihilist who was at the center of literary life in Norway; and Borgen was an author sent to prison by the Nazis for his writings.
In 1975 Orientering was included in the new Ny Tid. From 1975 until 1998 Ny Tid was owned by the Socialist Left Party (SV).
On 24 January 2006 the publishing house Damm, a part of Egmont, bought 100 percent of Ny Tid. On 27 January 2006 Ny Tid was relaunched as Norway's first news magazine. In January 2008 the magazine was transferred to a new media group, Monitor Medier, which at the same time also purchased the monthly Le Monde Diplomatique.
Voices Without Borders[edit]
Every week an exclusive column is printed, in which writers from free speech-challenged countries are invited to comment and outline. These columnists are: Parvin Ardalan, Nawal El Saadawi, Irshad Manji, Elena Milashina, Katiuska Natera, Martha Roque, Blessing Musariri, Tsering Woeser, Orzala Ashraf Nemat and Natalia Novozhilova. The columns are mostly written in English. The project is called "Voices Without Borders" and is a project in memory of Anna Politkovskaja, who was a Ny Tid columnist from 10 February to 7 October 2006.[2]
Content and Style[edit]
Since the relaunch in January 2006, the independent magazine, regularly prints exclusive columns by writers like Noreena Hertz (Great Britain), Irshad Manji (Canada), Anna Funder (Australia), Shah Muhammad Rais (Afghanistan), Saskia Sassen (USA), Natalia Novozhilova, and Anna Politkovskaya (Russia), the independent journalist assassinated after a series of articles she published about corruption and the KGB under the Putin presidency.
The magazine has a global outlook with most of its articles focusing on current events across the globe. It is published in Norwegian for its print edition and in both English and Norwegian for its online edition. It covers politics, culture, environmental issues, and international affairs. The current editor is Dag Herbjørnsrud. The editorial staff is based in Oslo, while the correspondents are situated in five continents.
Ny Tid has links to Al-Jazeera and to Le Monde Diplomatique and frequently shares content with both online publications.

**** Rock N' Roll****
I hate talking about myself, but I'll give it a shot. I was born and raised in Monterey, California and lived in San Francisco for some time before moving to Los Angeles. I have been here for about two years and absolutely love it. I'm really easy going, love to laugh and always enjoy a good conversation. I am a music junky at heart and I can talk about it for days, however I prefer going to live shows and rocking out! I am always up for something new, spur of the moment kind of adventures. I will try anything once, and perhaps twice! I work as a Financial Analyst, and people in Finance always get a bad rep for being boring. I can promise you I am far from boring. In my free time I like to be artsy, go out with friends, hike, go to the beach, do yoga, cook and travel. I'm looking for someone who likes the outdoors and is active, but also likes to relax at home and be content watching a movie and cooking dinner. Are you out there? I hope you are. My profiles pretty short so feel free to message me and ask me any questions you may have. You may be in for a surprise!

I love all kinds of music . I go to shows all the time and I am not afraid to get down and rock out! I love action filled movies and documentaries or just watching a movie that someone has suggested. New = good
I love the outdoors and doing spur the moment things. I enjoy going camping, hiking, skydiving and more relaxing things like staying in and watching a movie. I enjoy doing new and adventurous things.

Chateau Nicot
Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
Bordeaux red wines are widely regarded as being the finest red wines produced anywhere in the world, regularly topping awards lists and generally being amongst the most sought after and collectable bottles available. The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.
Region: Bordeaux
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
Country: France
It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.

The gospel according to Ms. Hillary
Speaking at the Women in the World Summit in New York on Thursday night, Madam Hillary came out foursquare in favor of strict enforcement of the law. In the video below, with a brief excerpt from the speech, she sounds like a lawgiver than a law enforcer, and a lawgiver of a most unsavory kind. She decrees, when it comes to abortion, that we have got to get our minds »
Democrats and their masters
The Democratic Party appears to take the sacramental view of abortion. Any act that might tend to deter an abortion is to be resisted. It's the abortion equivalent of the positive good school of slavery. If the party as a whole doesn't subscribe to this view, its funders certainly must. Thus the dramatic turnaround in Democratic support for the Justice for Victims of Sex Trafficking Act of 2015. It passed »
Anne Kuster's ghoulish pro-choice rally [UPDATED]
Annie Kuster, a Dartmouth grad, represents New Hampshire's Second Congressional District. She's a "pro-choice" Democrat. Kuster is locked in a tight race with rising star Republican Marilinda Garcia. Larry Sabato rates the race "leans Democratic." This morning, Kuster held a rally to announce that she has received the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire, the state's leading pro-abortion outfit. The rally was held in a room decorated with a skeleton »
CRB: Roe v. Wade at 40

Abraham Lincoln famously characterized the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision »
God bless Matt Birk
Earlier this week, the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens visited President Obama at the White House.

But I saw no mention that any member skipped the event as a protest. It turns out, however, that center Matt Birk did just that. Birk, who retired after »
Gosnell and the left
Journalist J.D. Mullane appeared on FNC's Huckabee show over the weekend for an excellent interview on the Gosnell trial. Mullane spoke in moving terms of his attendance at the trial as a transformative experience. The interview essentially updated and amplified on his column "What I saw at the Gosnell trial." Someone should cut a video of the interview and get it online. In the meantime, I want to draw attention »
"God bless the abortionist"
President Obama really poured it on in his speech to Planned Parenthood yesterday (video below). Taken together with the introduction by Planned Parenthood's president, we get a full airing of the sacramental view of abortion that underlies the Democrats' mania on behalf of the practice. Obama's speech begins at about 6:30. In the gospel according to Barry, we now have the blessing for the abortionist: "As long as we've got »
The barbarism in Philadelphia
I first became aware of the Gosnell case through Joseph Bottum's February 2011 Weekly Standard article "To live and die in Philadelphia" and Clarke Forsythe's January 2011 Weekly Standard online column "The Supreme Court's back alley runs through Philadelphia."

In his USA Today column Glenn Reynolds pays tribute to Kirsten Powers for her USA Today column on the silence of the mainstream media regarding the Gosnell murder trial: Like pretty much everyone who writes opinion columns, I hope that people will read what I write and look at things differently as a result. It happens, sometimes. But very few have the impact of Kirsten Powers' column on the murder »
What he saw at the Gosnell trial
I posted J.D. Mullane's PhillyBurbs.com column in our Picks over the weekend, but I want to take the liberty of drawing special attention to it. Mullane's column is "What I saw at the Gosnell trial." Mullane's column is accompanied online by a photo of the press section at the trial that Ed Morrissey declared "Photo of the day." Mullane's column opens: It is hard to decide the most appalling images »
Obama and infanticide
Following up on Steve's post on liberal hypocrisy, below is the 2003 video clip of then state senator Barack Obama stating his well rehearsed position in favor of abortion rights and against proposed Illinois legislation supporting infants born alive but requiring medical support.

The MSM's disgraceful silence about the Gosnell trial
I don't believe we have commented on the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. I guess that's because, although some, if not all, of us at Power Line are pro-life (I haven't taken a full survey), none of us has the abortion beat. Or maybe it's because we have had nothing of particular interest to add to the discussion of this gruesome affair, in which a child screamed »

The Sacramento Kings have been attempting to move the contracts of Jimmer Fredette and Chuck Hayes to the Cleveland Cavaliers in order to create enough cap space to sign Monta Ellis. Hayes' contracts runs through 14-15, which would compromise the Cavaliers' cap space for 2014. With the Denver Nuggets moving toward acquiring Randy Foye and the Atlanta Hawks now also pursuing Brandon Jennings, the Kings may become the best opportunity for Ellis to get a multi-year deal.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a turn based strategy game and the technical successor of Civilization II.

The park was fine for an overnight stop. Our space was fairly narrow and with the slides out we were a little tight. The space was gravel and nowhere near level. There is a small dog "walk" area that was clean. The issue here is really the area in which it is located. We were very uncomfortable with the surrounding area. - Tvl Junky

Pretty typical koa. Entry road has some good sized potholes. Decent gravel access roads - bi-directional, but not wide enough for two rigs to pass. Good width on the pullthrus, but not long enough to avoid dropping the toad on anything longer than 38' or so. Our site was relatively level. Relatively quiet given highway proximity. Power ok, did not use other utilities. Wifi decent signal strength, but unable to get connection. Moderate Verizon signal with adequate data rate. We would stay here again for an overnight. - SeaLandSkyPhoto

Daily News on Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons, Terrorism and Related Issues
Saudi Arabia Rejects Security Council Membership
Saudi Arabia on Friday unexpectedly rejected a temporary seat on the powerful U.N. Security Council, citing frustrations with the body's inability to punish the Bashar Assad regime for assumed chemical weapon attacks and to advance efforts to ban unconventional weapons in the Middle East, the New York Times reported.
A day earlier, Saudi Arabia and four other countries were elected to serve two-year terms on the Security Council beginning early next year. Riyadh had never before sought a seat on the 15-member body and its campaigning for one was seen by analysts as evidence of the nation's desire to be more active in pushing for a plan to end the Syrian civil war.
In turning down its seat on the council, the Saudi Foreign Ministry in a statement said "allowing the ruling regime in Syria to kill and burn its people by the chemical weapons, while the world stands idly, without applying deterrent sanctions against the Damascus regime, is also irrefutable evidence and proof of the inability of the Security Council to carry out its duties and responsibilities."
Security Council permanent member and veto-holder Russia has repeatedly refused to allow any resolutions to pass that sanction the Assad regime for its use of massive military force against Syrian civilians, including in the Aug. 21 sarin gas attack on a Damascus suburb that is estimated to have killed 1,400 people and for which the Syrian military is largely presumed to be responsible.
Riyadh also faulted the council for being unsuccessful in making "the Middle East a free zone of all weapon of mass destruction."
That last line is seen as an allusion to Israel's widely assumed nuclear weapons stockpile. The United States, which also holds veto power, has shielded the Israeli government from formal Security Council criticism over its failure to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Washington has also accepted Israel's reasons for not accepting an invitation to an international conference planned for last year that would have focused on establishing a ban on all nuclear, biological and chemical arms in the Middle East.

of Significance
|1914-1930s (historical) 1914-1930s (fabric) 1914 ongoing (social)
|Criterion A
|Wooloowin State School is important for its association with progressive, early 20th century education in Queensland, being constructed in 1914 as a 'show' suburban primary school, the quality of the building, furnishings, equipment, facilities, curriculum and staff serving as a model for future state schools. Wooloowin State School is evidence of the rapid growth of Wooloowin and adjacent areas which accompanied both the expansion of public transport in the area in the early 20th century, (especially the extension of the tramline to Kedron in 1913-14), and the success of the Workers' Dwelling Scheme (1909) which made home ownership accessible to the working class.
|Criterion D
|Wooloowin State School is significant as an excellent example of a school building designed for the Queensland climate with wide verandahs and a ventilated roof, and follows a tradition of fine buildings erected by the Queensland Public Works Department. The use of brick and restrained detailing is typical for government buildings of the period.
|Criterion E
|Wooloowin State School is significant also as an outstanding example of a school building designed by the office of the Queensland Government Architect, which at the time was the equal of any architectural office in Australia. It is exceptional in its quality and form and displays characteristics typical of its style through its simple massing, roughcast render and broad roof planes extending over verandahs with projecting gables and ventilators.
|Criterion F
|(Criterion under review)
|Criterion G
|(Criterion under review)
|Criterion H
|(Criterion under review)
|Wooloowin State School was built in four stages. The first section was constructed in 1914, with additions in 1918, 1925 and 1934. In 1914, Wooloowin was considered a model school at the forefront of progressive education in Queensland, and this was reflected in the building, grounds, furniture, equipment, facilities, curriculum, and staff. It was a model school for a modern, rapidly expanding suburb. Originally part of Lutwyche, Wooloowin was named after the railway station (on the line to Northgate Junction) which was opened in November 1889. The area had developed a suburban identity in the 1880s, when the larger estates were subdivided, but in the first half of the 20th century, particularly following the extension of the tramline along Lutwyche Road to Kedron in 1913-14, Wooloowin really boomed as a residential working class suburb. In 1911, the Wooloowin Progress Association was formed. Its first secretary was Mr William Alfred Jolly, later Mayor of Windsor, and in 1925, first Lord Mayor of Greater Brisbane. It was largely due to the work of the Wooloowin Progress Association, who formed a school building committee in October 1911, that the Wooloowin State School was established. Prior to 1914, Wooloowin children attended the overcrowded state schools at Eagle Junction and Bowen Bridge Road. The Department of Public Instruction purchased Nolan's Paddock, a three acre site on Lutwyche Road, for £1,200, and the design for a new school for this site was prepared in the Government Architect's Office of the Department of Public Works in 1913. Alfred Barton Brady was employed with the Queensland Government as Government Architect from 1892-1922. Brady claimed that he always advised on arrangement, style and materials, but it appears that his senior assistant, Thomas Pye supervised much of the detailed design. During the 30 years they worked together in the Department, Brady and Pye assembled a talented group of architects and draftsmen who were considered the equal of any in Australia, including from 1893 to 1903 John Smith Murdoch, who was to become Commonwealth Director-General of Works in 1927. From the office of the Government Architect there developed a tradition of fine government buildings, including many post offices, customs houses and court houses throughout the State. The Department of Public Instruction had handled school design and construction between 1879 and 1893, following which responsibility was returned to the Government Architect's office. Some of the more significant early 20th century schools designed by the Government Architect's office include East Brisbane State School (1899-1900) [601476] and Windsor State School (1915-16) [600991], the latter, like Wooloowin State School, erected as a model schools. At a cost of £3,901, Wooloowin State School was the sixth most expensive Queensland Public Works contract let during the 1913-14 financial year, and was intended as a model or 'show' school. The foundation stone was laid early in 1914 by the Secretary for Public Instruction, the Hon. J Blair (later Chief Justice Sir James Blair), and the school was opened on 15 September 1914 with 266 pupils. It comprised four large classrooms in two single-storeyed brick wings, with 10 feet wide verandahs front and back and head teachers' room and staff room attached to the front wing. The new classrooms were furnished with the most modern two-student desks with tip-up seats, providing considerably more elbow room than the old forms and desks, and with large green 'blackboards' rather than the old board and easel. The staff for this model school was specially chosen from amongst Queensland's finest state school teachers. Wooloowin State School was constructed at a time of educational experimentation in Queensland. 1914 saw the establishment of the first teacher training college in Brisbane, and a reworking of the curriculum which had been experimented with since 1905. In 1915, a new syllabus was introduced to Brisbane state schools. Continuing the emphasis of the previous decade on correlation of subjects, practical application, self-activity of pupils and character development, the new syllabus now provided for 'kindergarten occupations' in infant grades; formally included school gardening in the curriculum - this could become a compulsory subject in schools where the teacher adopted it as a form of nature study; encouraged the extension of manual training and domestic science in primary schools - usually where teaching staff from technical colleges were available; and made needlework compulsory for girls. School inspectors continued to emphasise the importance of formal academic studies, but schools were broadening their outlook on what constituted useful, practical knowledge and character building activities, concentrating on the development of the whole child rather than on rote learning. One aspect of modern progressive education was the encouragement of sports, particularly swimming. In 1908, a number of metropolitan teachers who were keen to encourage swimming amongst school children formed the State Schools Amateur Swimming Association. By 1914, 34 clubs had been formed. These clubs apparently catered only for boys, and in 1911 a State Schools Girls' Amateur Swimming Association was formed, with 28 schools affiliated by 1914. As well as swimming instruction, life-saving was taught in many schools. Keen to promote their school as one of the most modern in the state, the Wooloowin State School building committee financed construction of a swimming pool, 42 feet long, 16 feet wide and 5 feet deep at the deepest end, in 1916. This pool was enlarged to its present size in 1925. In 1918, woodwork and domestic science were added to the school curriculum, although no classrooms appear to have been designated specifically for these subjects. It is understood that Wooloowin was the first primary school to introduce these subjects, as provided for under the new syllabus provisions of 1915. The first addition to the school was constructed in 1918. It was a brick building, with 10ft wide verandahs; roughcast externally and roofed with asbestos slate, which mirrored the 1914 side wing. This brought the number of classrooms to six, and was opened in September 1918. By 1921, school enrolment had grown to over 800, and in 1923 plans were prepared for a second addition, a two-storeyed stuccoed brick building with an asbestos slate roof, containing four classrooms on each floor with hatrooms and a verandah and a balcony on the north side. This building was erected in 1925 at a cost of £6,233, and opened in July that year. In the 1920s and 1930s, Wooloowin continued to expand as a working class residential suburb. By the early 1930s, population pressure again necessitated additions to the Wooloowin State School, and in 1934 a three-storeyed brick wing was constructed on the northern side of the site. It had a face brick and roughcast exterior, fibro cement slates to match existing buildings, and 10ft wide balconies on each floor. Each of the upper floors had four classrooms, and the lower storey contained purpose-equipped domestic science and manual training rooms. In the 1930s and 1940s, students from Windsor State School, further south along Lutwyche Road, attended woodwork and domestic science classes at Wooloowin State School's new facilities. The 1934 building was the last of the additions. In the second half of the 20th century, Wooloowin State School enrolments steadily declined as the surrounding area changed demographically toward an older population.
|Wooloowin State School's 1914. 1918 and 1925 buildings form a coherent group of one and two-storeyed classroom blocks linked together by verandahs. The buildings are masonry constructed on brick piers, which form an undercroft play area. Most of the exterior of the buildings are roughcast render. Originally the roof was covered with red asbestos slates, which has been replaced with corrugated iron. Each of the individual pavilions has a separate roof, with ventilators and projecting gabled skylights. The 1934 addition is a three-storeyed masonry building with face brick and roughcast render which complements the earlier blocks. The original red asbestos slate roof has been replaced with corrugated iron. Apart from the re-roofing, the exterior of the complex is very intact.

Fertility awareness is not recommended
for birth control during breast-feeding. This method is less reliable and

David Sisi joins Championship side Leeds Carnegie on loan from Bath Rugby
Posted: February 11, 2014|
Young Bath Rugby back-rower David Sisi has joined Green King IPA Championship side Leeds Carnegie on loan until the end of the season.
Sisi joined Bath from Premiership rivals London Irish last summer but suffered a lengthy ankle injury during pre-season. The 21-year-old heads to Headingley in order to gain match fitness following the lay-off.
He made his first Bath start in the LV= Cup win at Leicester Tigers at the end of January but joined Leeds in time to make his debut in Saturday's bonus-point win at Ealing Trailfinders in the Championship.
Meanwhile, Bath Academy player Max Northcote-Green has signed a dual-registration with National League 1 outfit Coventry.

Bath Academy director Danny Grewcock said: "These deals are mutually beneficial. The clubs are able to bolster their respective squads with some well-prepared young players, and our lads gain some invaluable experience of regular senior rugby.
"David and Max are both very professional and very talented, so we look forward to seeing them develop."
Sisi told Leeds' official website: "I'm excited to be joining the club and helping them in their bid to achieve a top-four finish and hopefully promotion. It's an ambitious club and I'm looking forward to the challenge of playing with them in the Championship.
"I have had an ankle injury for part of this season but am coming off the back of playing in two good wins in the LV=Cup with Bath and I am now eager to get more game time."

Hi, Adrien,
This is something you should really consult with your vet about. I wish we could help you, but every terrier is different, and some bounce back quicker than others. The vet who did the surgery will have a better idea of what you can expect.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but none of us are veterinarians here, and they're the best people to turn to for questions like this.
Good luck! And here's wishing your terrier a quick recovery!

Four Architects Design the Green House of the Future
