Full Throttle Touring - 150 through the Rocket City
A recent job transfer has changed my home away from home from Columbus, Ga to the Rocket City.
My home is still in Marietta Ga but I now have an apartment in the Rocket City AKA Huntsville, Alabama. I spent three years in Columbus but I really didn't do much while I was there, or take the time to explore the area. I decided that things would be different in Huntsville. What better way to explore a new area than on two wheels? Just to make things more exciting, how about doing it Full Throttle? Stay tuned. If I don't get arrested I will be posting pics of my exploration of the area.

If you have read any of my previous ride reports, you know that they are all about riding in the mountains, on curvy roads, unpaved roads, crossing creeks, getting away from civilization and traffic. This will be different. it will take a different frame of mind. To live up to the title of this ride report, it will also take a different machine.

When I got to Huntsville nearly 2 months ago, I did what I always do when I come to a new city; I check out the local motorcycle shops. The first one I stopped at was Midway Cycles in Madison.
As you can see they sell Kymcos and Vespas. They had their Kymco Scooters marked way down. The wheels in my head started turning Or was that the gears in my head grinding? Ever since I rented a Yamaha Riva 125 in Hawaii in the late 80s, and had a blast on it, I thought I would like to get a small scooter some day. For running errands around town, it's hard to beat a small scooter. Saves money on gas and wear and tear on the cage. More importantly it would get me out of the cage and on two wheels.
To make a long story short, I did some research. Kymco has a good reputation and a major scooter manufacturer. They have an extensive dealer network in the US. They probably have more dealers than BMW. I narrowed my search down to two scooters. The dealer prepped and let me ride both. How many Japanese motorcycle dealers would do that? This is what I got.
It's a new 2009 Kymco Super 8 150. Under $2200 OTD including Tax, Tag, and Title.

In case you're wondering about the title of this report, 150 is for the number of CCs of my new scooters engine. Full throttle? With only 11 HP (claimed), full throttle will be required to keep from getting run over.
This is my first scooter after having owned a large number of motorcycles so it would be an adventure even if I wasn't exploring a new area.
The first adventure came quicker than expected. When I tried to load it in my truck, it grounded out and got stuck on the top of the ramp. It doesn't have the ground clearance of my dual sport bikes and the angle of the ramp was too much. luckily someone saw my predicament and help shove it into the truck. I have constructed an extension for my 7 foot ramp but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
Here it is in the back of my truck.
The next challenge was to ride it while "attempting" to adhere to the recomended break in speed, 40 MPH for the first 600 miles. That ain't gonna happen but at least I tried to keep it under 40 as much as possible until I did the initial 300KM oil change. I did some riding trying to keep it mostly on residential roads near my apartment. I also took some pics.
My apartment is right by a small lake. My first pic was with the lake in the background.
Huntsville has a lot of wetlands and also a large number of birds.
I added the tail trunk to my scooter give it enough storage capacity that I could use it to go shopping and carry a reasonable amount of stuff. It also has storage beneath the seat, although it is not quite large enough for a full face helmet. The tail trunk may look large but that is partly due to the small size of the scooter. It will barely hold a full face helmet.

That is an excellant price for a new Super 8 150. What other scooter did you test ride? I just bought a new leftover Kymco People 150 to keep at our place on the Big Island of Hawaii that we rent out to vacationers.We'll be moving there a little later.Gas prices are a lot higher bthere than in the Seattle/Tacoma area in Wa. State.The dealer, Kisers Motorcycles in Kona was having a sale on the 2009 People 150s, and it was $2390 out the door with everything.The Super 8 (the other scooter I waqs interested in) was abnout $100 more.I won't see my new scooter until Feb. when we are there for eioght days.Since there are no SYM,Vespa,or Genuine Scooters dealers on the Big Island that left Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki and Kymco.I went with the Kymco because the price was better, and they are a quality scooter with a two year warranty, while most others (except SYM-also two years) give only a year.
I like that Super 8, and thought if I got one of those, I would have got a green one just to be different.
Enjoy your new scooter!!

So far I really like the way the Super 8 handles. It has fairly wide 14" tires and it feels like a small sport bike. I think the 14' tires are a great compromise between the small wheel 12' and big wheel 16" tires. I also like the brakes, good power and feel, AND THEY ARE NOT LINKED. I DESPISE LINKED BRAKES. I've been taking it easy with the throttle untill I get it broken in so I can't really comment on the power but I suspect I will wish for a little more.
The seat on the Super 8 is fairly hard and not shaped that well. It hasn't been an issue since I haven't taken any really long rides but most likely I will end up modifying the seat.

Anyway, the BBQ was a big draw for me. We must have tried every joint within 30 miles of Decatur. I highly suggest 'the Chuckwagon' and 'the Greenbriar' if the rule of 'small, dumpy, and non-chain' are the the keys to good BBQ.
The cycle shop near Decatur looked pretty good, but I never got a chance to step in there. I would also suggest 'Bama gun and pawn' if you want to see where all the stolen tools end up in your area...and a scary group of individuals.
I enjoyed the time I spent down there and will be doing more work in Decatur sometime around June-July.
A Ducati, some Guzzi, a KTM, and a Excelsior...Indian in resto.

Congrats on the S8!
i remember your thread in the Battle Scooters forum about your choices and buying experience. you seemed a bit on the fence about a few things scooter related, but as it turns out....well....you seem really happy with the scooter and your choice!
its nice when things work out like that, and even nicer when a long time motorcyclist discovers the joys and practicality of scootering
oh, and the awesomeness of a good deal on a good Kymco scoot

I don't make New Years resolutions. I didn't make one this year. I did make a resolution a couple of months ago when I relocated to Huntsville. My resolution was to stop wasting so much time, especially in regards to time that could be spent riding. I rode just under 5000 miles in 2010. Thats probably my worst total in over 20 years. At least the riding I did do was almost all really great high quality riding. Also it was almost all off road or on twisty paved roads. Still, I hardly rode unless I could go for an all day ride or longer.
I was out of town on the first so I couldn't go riding but wasted no time when I got back today. Since small scooters are designed for the urban environment, that's where I decided to go exploring today. Looking at my Huntsville map I found a couple of historical districts near downtown Huntsville. Thats on the other side of town from my apartment so I figured out a route to get there without getting on the interstate. I'm trying to hold down the speed until my scooter is fully broken in, but even when it is broken in, it will never really be a highway machine.
The ride was chilly, I don't think it made it to 40 today. When I got downtown, it was pretty deserted. Normally I try to avoid traffic but somehow it the lack of traffic made downtown seem dead. I suspect it's a different place during the week, especially when it's warmer and more people are outside. Just outside of downtown there was a neighborhood of old historical houses. I'm not an expert on houses but I was surprised to see that many of the houses were built in the 1800s. I took a few pics.
The house above was built in 1815. If I had taken this pic when it was built, the only vehicle parked out front would have been a horse drawn carriage!
This house was next door.
I rode around some. Like downtown, this area seemed pretty dead. I suspect it's much more lively when it's warmer. Add some springtime leaves and colors and it will likely have a completely different feel.
Looking down the street. Unlike many modern subdivisions, this nieghborhood was built for walking with sidewalks on both sides of the street.
I imagine that not only did the original residants use these sidewalks to go walking, but when they did they probably got the chance to see their neighbors who I can imagine relaxing on their front porches in the evenings.
I would guess that these people actually knew each other. I'll have to stop by here on some warm evening and see if the current residents still use their porches........or if they all sit isolated inside their houses watching the latest sitcom on their hi def, big screen TVs.

Just to the east of here are some mountains. I could see them and they were calling to me Not sure what I was thinking, I was already cold. All I needed was to go up in elevation where it would be colder. I don't always think clearly so up I went. I found a couple of my favorite signs.
Unfortunately I also found sand and salt all over the road. Nothing worse than having to go slow on some fun curves
Well, it could be worse, at least I got to get out and go for a ride. Tomorrow it's supposed to get all the way up to 50 degrees Looks like I'll have to go for another ride

Everybody likes their BBQ cooked and seasoned a little differently, these two do ribs the way I prefer them. Pulled pork all seems to be the same; its just a matter of what sauce you like on it. I prefer a sweeter sauce --- Sweet Baby Rays, for example.
Big Bob Gibsons in Decatur by far has the best pie in the entire Huntsville/Decatur area and the BBQ is just fine.

I quite like this. However, you could do really horrible stuff with eval and friends.
I changed
REQUEST_PATH to
PATH_INFO since
REQUEST_PATH always returns "
/" on Webrick. Also added the
#to_s() call as suggested by @rkh.
Updated gist: https://gist.github.com/701304
@Oshuma: good stuff, will update the gist in a sec.
@tobi: with great power comes.. nah, actually, your example wouldn't work because the "/" in rm would get swallowed by split! :-)
@technoweenie: woot! that's exactly what I was going for.
@JamieFlournoy J2EE had these kind of security feature a long time ago if i remember correctly the spring bean introspector feature(http://www.springsource.com/security/cve-2010-1622) and it was more lines of code, so better
RickRoll spoiler: Don't click on the trollish "J2EE version" link from @JamieFlournoy
what about this hehehe:
class Object
DANGEROUS_METHODS = methods.grep(/eval|instance|module|method|send|taint|extend|include|freeze/)
def webapp
class << self
define_method :call do |env|
func, *attrs = env['PATH_INFO'].split('/').reject(&:empty?)
result = DANGEROUS_METHODS.include?(func) ? 'METHOD NOT ALLOWED' : send(func, *attrs).to_s
[200, {}, [result]]
alias (unsure)
It should be a whitelist instead of black list, I believe.
mmm, well, yes, it might be, the only thing is that we'd need an ALLOWED_METHODS per class or something like that, I mean, I wouldn't do the following in the Object class:
ALLOWED_METHODS = w%[a lot of methods of different classes]
well, I don't know, maybe, hehe
$SAFE = 1 would disable a lot of the nastier methods. You'd still have to undef them in JRuby, though.
Very nice. Here are some implementations I did in Perl & Io:
https://gist.github.com/703620 - Perl using plack
https://gist.github.com/703651 - Perl using Continuity
https://gist.github.com/703431 - Io
Hello, this is really great but there are some things I am not really sure. For instance, I cannot get the object class with http://localhost:9292/class.
http://localhost:9292/push/1 -> 1
http://localhost:9292/push/2 -> 12
http://localhost:9292/push/3 -> 123
http://localhost:9292/to_a -> 123
I would expect
http://localhost:9292/class -> Array
Sorry if I'm wrong, just trying to understand :)
Luc, you have to be careful with your version of Ruby. Rack expects an object on which you can call "each". Under Ruby 1.9, String does not have an .each method. Chances are, Rack is erroring out because of that. A simple workaround would be wrap every returned object into a "StringIO.new(send(...).to_s))".
Hmm, sounds strange. In fact I'm using Ruby 1.8.7
luc@venus:~/Projects/rubyobject ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [universal-darwin10.0]
Should it work with this version ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Yep, 1.8.7 should work. What does your console output when you run the server and make that request?
hmmm, you'r right, it's talking about the each method... but I'm running ruby 1.8.7
new'each' for Array:Class>
Wed Nov 24 16:03:46 +0100 2010: Read error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/lib/mongrel.rb:158:in `process_cli
Right, you're seeing the problem I described below. You need to convert everything to a StringIO and then you're good to go.
So I updated it a bit in my fork; it removes url encoding and returns json serialization of results
How come you didn't settle with
def self.call(env) instead?
require 'rack'
class Object
def to_webapp
def self.call(env)
func, *attrs = env['PATH_INFO'].split('/').reject(&:empty?)
[200, {}, send(func || :inspect, *attrs)]
Rack::Handler::WEBrick.run [].to_webapp, :Port => 9292

text: HTC First to be Available April 12th for $99.99 David Pena 4 April, 2013 2 Comments While watching the Facebook Home live event, I thought it was just going to be software you could download onto your device. I started thinking that the actual phone we have all been hearing about, was simply just a rumor. I was wrong. Just as they finished explaining all the features of Facebook Home, Zuckerberg invites Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, onto the stage. Mr. Chou then shows us the HTC First. The HTC First is not, by all means, a super smartphone. It is more of a mid-ranged device, and if you have not seen the specs, you can click here. The First will come out in four different colors, and will be made available April 12th exclusively on AT&T. Yes, no other carriers are looking to be carrying this new phone. You can get an HTC First for the cheap price of $100. I can see they are trying to appeal to those heavy Facebook users on a budget. It is pretty good marketing strategy, let's see if it works out for them. So will you buy yourself an HTC First? Let us know if you plan on getting one. FILA told ya…att…no body on this site will get this, lol, we are more hardcore for this Awdahelwidit Yeah I don't really see the specs being much of an issue. Only the completely programmed FB sheep for which this device was intended will care to look beyond the A… Do Facebook users really need 4 cores, ultrapixel cam, or a 5+ inch HD screen to post their whorish pics & rehash other (more witty) people's humor? Will 10% of them even know what any of the specs mean? This product is an obvious ploy to exploit the ignorant souls who frequent that social network. 2 years of un-lubed a**rape via deathstar for an "F" button 😀 Yeah I think most around here will pass.

Gilford Softballers Edge Laconia 5-4
GILFORD — Gilford High softball team improved their record to 6-2 Wednesday by beating Lakes Region rival Laconia 5-4 on eight hits including 4 doubles. Gilford got on the scoreboard quickly in the bottom of the first inning when Mollie Dignan and Caitlin Houston led off with back to back doubles. Gilford scored one more in the second inning when Mikaela Mattice led off with a double and scored on a Jordan Dean single. Gilford held a slim 2-0 lead going into the bottom of the 5th inning when the Gilford bats exploded for three more runs on 3 hits, 1 sacrifice and 1 walk. Brid Fillion led off with a single and advanced to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by Mollie Dignan. Lisa Osborne walked and Sarah Lachapelle launched a two run double to make the score 4-0. Courtesy runner Kristina Hayden went in to run for Lachapelle and Hayden scored on a Maggie Fillion single which proved to be the game winning hit.
Laconia scored one run in the top of the 6th and three runs in the top of the 7th to make the game close at 5-4. In the top of the 7th after scoring 3 runs, Laconia had runners in scoring position with the tying run on 2nd and the go ahead run on 1st with 2 outs. Laconia's Miner hit the ball hard between 3rd and short stop and Gilford's 3rd baseman, Lisa Osborne, dove out toward shortstop to make a great scoop on the grounder and stop the ball from leaving the infield and then Osborne turned and dove back at 3rd base to end the game on a force out.
Sarah Lachapelle was the winning pitcher striking out a career high 11 batters, walking 3 and giving up 8 hits. Gilford combined for 8 hits. Sarah Lachapelle led the offensive attack going 2 for 2 with 2 doubles, 3 RBIs and one sacrifice fly, Mikaela Mattice I double, Caitlin Houston 1 double, and singles by Maggie Fillion (1 RBI), Mollie Dignan, Jordan Dean and Brid Fillion.
Gilford's next game is Friday at Prospect Mtn.

Muzzey shines in U15 Lacrosse team's first win
The Laconia U15 Lacrosse team recorded its first victory of the season on Sunday, as they played host to opponents from Hopkinton. Looking to shake off a rough scrimmage against Concord the day before, the young Sachems came out blazing. LSM Logan Bell started the fireworks, recording his first goal of the day about 2 minutes into the contest. It didn't take him long to record his second on the day, and then it was defenseman/LSM Drew Muzzey's turn. Scooping the ball in his own defensive zone, he raced coast to coast, dodging would-be defenders before firing a bullet top shelf to give his team a commanding 3-0 lead after the 1st quarter. The 2nd quarter was more of the same. The Laconia defense, led by Travis Adams and Brendan Sica, shut down the Hopkinton offense and allowed the play to stay in the Sachems' offensive end. Attackman Lawrence "the" Barbarian and Devon Miles both recorded their first goals of the season and the Sachem's had a 5-1 halftime lead. There was no let up in the Sachem game as the second half started. Bell fired home his third on the day for the season's first hat trick. Middie Kaleb Bartlett was able to find the back of the net to up the lead to 7-1. Hopkinton stole the momentum for a brief time and got 3 quick goals to close the gap to 7-4 but Laconia's Bailey Moore took it back with his first goal on the day. With just over 3 minutes to go in the game, Laconia got called for an illegal stick and would finish the game a man down. The Sachems were looking for someone to come up big, and it was Muzzey who answered the call. He was able to poke check the ball out of the goalie's cross, scoop up the loose ball and sneak it into the open net to secure the Sachems' first victory of the season, 9-4. Coach Rod Roy had high praise for his team after the victory. "We moved the ball extremely well today. They passed, they caught, and they shot. We haven't done that all season. (Goalie Steven) Towers had a big, big day in net for us and that freed up our middies to run our offense." The 1-2 Sachems will host rivals Gilford on a Saturday scrimmage (8:30 at Laconia High School) before traveling to Hooksett for a 4:15 Mother's Day Game.

Salta, Sachems break through in 7th for win over Belmont
LACONIA — Laconia need all seven frames to beat Belmont Friday afternoon, securing a 3-2 victory with a walk off single. Andrew Salta drove in the winning run on a seventh-inning hit that found its way between the first and second basemen of Belmont. Trace Privette, who lead off the inning with a walk and stolen base, came around from second to score the winning run. Salta went 1 for 2 at the plate with two walks, a run scored and two stolen bases. He also had five strikeouts in his first appearance of the season on the mound. "Andrew had great presence on the mound. It was his first time pitching in a few years," coach Jon Myers said. "He had good control and kept the Belmont hitters guessing."
Laconia opened the scoring in the fourth inning when Jordan Bladecki laced a line drive past the outstretched glove of Red Raiders third baseman Jason Taylor. Belmont responded by scoring two in the top of the fifth. The first run came off the bat of Joey Levesque who went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Caleb Drouin followed Levesque with a double to drive in the second run. The Sachems tied things up in the bottom of the inning, scoring off a single from Nate Batchelder (1 for 3 with a run scored, RBI and two stolen bases).
Levesque started for Belmont and pitched six-plus innings, allowing five hits, four walks and two earned runs while striking out three. "Levesque kept us guessing out there, mixing in his curve ball," continued Myers "He is a good pitcher on a good team."
Following the win on Friday, Laconia's record improved to 3 wins, 1 loss. The Sachems hosted Plymouth yesterday.
Belmont fell to 3-2 with the loss to Laconia. The Red Raiders traveled to Inter-Lakes yesterday.

U15 Sachems lacrosse drops 10-8 game to John Stark
The Laconia Sachems' U15 lacrosse team traveled to John Stark on a cold, wet Sunday to square off against the Generals. It seemed like it took the Sachems an entire half to get going, as the Generals took a 4-1 lead into halftime. Attack Riley Roy tallied the only score of the first half for the Sachems. The youngsters from Laconia were able to regroup and came out fired up for the second frame. Long stick middie Logan Bell (2 goals, 1 assist) started the comeback just 45 seconds into the half. Attack Bailey Moore (2 goals) and middie Parker Minor (1 goal, 1 assist) were able to knot the score at 5. The Generals took back the momentum and posted a 9-5 lead going into the fourth. Roy recorded his second goal of the day followed by Middie Christian Platon's first of the season. Bell wrapped up the scoring for the Sachems as their second comeback on the day fell just short and the Sachems went home on the short end of a 10-8 score. Defensively Noah Shastany and Garrett Whitney fought hard to limit the General's offense and allow their teammates to climb back into the game.

Children love to spend time with their friends, and as summer approaches, they may ask if they can go to the same camp their friends will attend. You may ask yourself, "How old should my child be before they go to summer camp?" The answers will vary, depending upon the parents and the child, but here are some guidelines.
Day camps are a chance for your child to enjoy time away from Mom and Dad and spend time with their friends. These are generally no more than three to four hours long each day, but it's a great opportunity for them to begin spreading their wings and gaining some independence.
Most people agree that day camps are good for children under the age of ten. A day camp would be an arts camp, sports camp, Vacation Bible School, or something along those lines. The parent would drop the children off, they would stay for a few hours, and then be picked up each day.
Some church camps have several options for campers. They may offer day camp classes for the very young, "under night" camps for those children not quite ready to spend the night, and overnight camp for those children who are ready for the challenge of time away from home. For the uninformed, "under night" camp would enable your child to go for day camp, stay until after dinner, and then go home to sleep in their own beds.
As children get older than ten, they are usually ready to be away from home for more than one night. However, you may want to allow them to spend the weekend away from home prior to allowing them to spend an entire week at summer camp, just to see how it goes. If they have difficulties being away for more than one or two nights, it would be best to wait until they are more mature before sending them off for a week or more.
By age twelve, most children are ready to leave home for a week or more. Don't assume, however, that your child wants to go to summer camp. Or, if they do, that they want to go to the camp you have chosen.
Are they involved in Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts? Perhaps they'd enjoy a week at one of those camps. They may enjoy a church summer camp even more, but you won't know unless you ask them. Be sure to include them in the decision; you may be surprised at what they have to say.
You may wonder how old your child should be before they go to summer camp. You can't deny the many benefits of summer camp, but you know your child best. Their maturity level, experience, and desire will affect how successfully they handle the time away from parents, siblings, and their own bed.

So I don't bother because frankly I remember what I learned in nutrition class in college. Vitamin pill are generally useless. I do try to eat well now that my morning sickness is nearly gone. I am looking into brewers diet but it sounds expensive. When I say eat right I mean 3-4 servings dairy, 3-4 protein, 6-11 whole G, 3-5 fruit, 3-5 veg and of fruit and veg at least 1 beta carotein heavy and 1 dark leafy green heavy. And I have a natural preference for high V C foods. And at least 1 serving but not more than 5 healthy fat. Oh most protein being legumes and eaten in combination with whole G for a complete protein. This past week I have NOT had a problem with getting enough servings of anything LOL SO hungry!
All that to say I found my adoption certificate in my important paper work files and went and got WIC. The nutritionalist was polite but suggested that my doc should know I am not taking prenatals. I just said eh, they bother my stomach which isn't completely true I just don't see the point in them. Just like I don't see the point in going in to the hospital for birth among other things LOL. Not going to share that with her though. Well the other things part (aka UC) lol.
OH BTW My vegan friend was telling me today chia seeds (think chia pet) have an incredible abount of calcium in just 1 tsp. good to know!

The Adventure Begins... La Mitad Del Mundo
The Equator runs right through Ecuador.
At this location called La Mitad Del Mundo (The Middle of the World) they have built a huge monument to mark the spot. I had to check it out.
Here's proof...lattitude 0-0-0. The yellow line is the Equator. From this eastern view, my left foot is in the northern hemisphere and my right foot is in the southern hemisphere.
From this western view, my right foot is in the northern hemisphere and my left foot is in the southern hemisphere. Got that.
If all of this is true, I should be able to balance this egg on it's edge while I'm sitting on the Equator.
There we go. Cool!
But wait, my gps is indicating that the true 0-0-0 is about 00.000.080 north of this yellow line. That would be about 100 feet over that wall and outside of the monument grounds.
So I exited the monument grounds and hopped on Emi to find the Equator.
Ah, after riding a bit, I came across...00.000.000...the true Equator. And it only took 7,908.3 miles to find it.
Emi is marking the spot. Front wheel in the southern hemisphere and rear wheel in the northern hemisphere.
Emi and this large pile of gravel.
The Middle of the World. I've reached it! Somewhat of a landmark and milestone. OK, time to head south.

Not a bad game8/13/2010
Takes a while to setup, and once you set it up it won't get back in the box it came it (unless you take it apart). It's a fun concept for a game the traps go off every 3rd time you press the ghost so it's kinda predictible. It's kida like mouse trap but not as fun. Not bad for 14.99.

Obama's $85-Billion 'Tax Cuts' Really a Massive Tax Hike
It raises suspicion when a liberal presidential candidate is incorporating the words ŌĆ£tax cutŌĆØ in his campaign rhetoric.
The New York Times headline read ŌĆ£Obama Proposes Tax Cuts for Middle Class and Elderly.ŌĆØ The Financial Times headline gave the same impression: ŌĆ£Obama pledges $85bn middle-class tax cuts.ŌĆØ But those headlines are disingenuous.
According to the September 19 New York Times, liberal Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said he would create a tax credit for homeowners who do not itemize their deductions, give a $500 tax credit to workers, and eliminate income taxes for elderly taxpayers who make less than $50,000 a year.
Those acts, totaling $85 billion, sound great, but howŌĆÖs he going to compensate for these measures and still be able to afford all the entitlements in his platform?
The candidate, who dubbed his announcement a ŌĆ£Tax Fairness Plan,ŌĆØ would ŌĆ£raise capital gains taxes on the wealthy, close corporate loopholes and abolish tax breaks that have saved hedge fund and private equity managers billions of dollars,ŌĆØ according to the Times.
But thatŌĆÖs classic income redistribution, and it would hurt those who keep the economy going.
ŌĆ£The Obama plan is terrible economics by virtue of adding disincentives to productive activity through his big tax increases,ŌĆØ said Dr. John Berthoud, president of the National Taxpayers Union, to the Business & Media Institute. ŌĆ£And while he apparently calculates that his $1,000 tax credits will be politically popular, they will provide little benefit to the economy.ŌĆØ
The Financial Times even quoted one source admitting this was a headline-grabbing move, despite having used a dramatic eye-catching headline for its September 19 story.
ŌĆ£These look like headline-grabbing sops for the voters,ŌĆØ said an unnamed Democratic economist, who has advised all the campaigns, to the Financial Times. ŌĆ£But there doesnŌĆÖt appear to be an overall fiscal framework.ŌĆØ
And not everyoneŌĆÖs buying into it either.
ŌĆ£[T]his seems like a bunch of subsidies, temporary rebates, credits ŌĆō clutters up the code,ŌĆØ said CNBC ŌĆ£Kudlow & CompanyŌĆØ host Larry Kudlow on his September 19 show in an interview with ObamaŌĆÖs economic advisor, Austan Goolsbee. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs no pro-growth, no pro-investment impact. And, in fact, youŌĆÖre going after the cap-gains and dividends and upper income people.ŌĆØ
The talking point echoed by Goolsbee, which was also in both the Financial Times and New York Times stories, was the capital gains tax increase (from the current 15 percent to as much as 28 percent) is still lower than the level Ronald Reagan held during the latter part of his term.
ŌĆ£Larry, I wish I could call my mom in Abilene, because I never imagined there would be a day I would go on television and be saying to Larry Kudlow that itŌĆÖs okay to set a tax rate thatŌĆÖs lower than what Ronald Reagan set,ŌĆØ said Goolsbee. ŌĆ£What planet have I landed on?ŌĆØ
But thatŌĆÖs not the whole story. The increase in the capital gains tax in 1986 was part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and Reagan called the increase ŌĆ£the one detrimental fallout from tax reform,ŌĆØ according to a policy analysis written by Stephen Moore and John Silvia. And, as an InvestorŌĆÖs Business Daily editorial published on July 30 pointed out ŌĆō the hike was a ŌĆ£compromise deal that produced the landmark 1986 tax reform act, which cut the top marginal income tax rate to 28%.ŌĆØ
The IBD editorial also showed the compromise deal ended up not being worth it ŌĆō ŌĆ£the growth-killing 1986 capital gains tax increase led to a decrease in investment that resulted in 44% fewer revenues over the following three years.ŌĆØ
Berthoud, a BMI adviser, said Obama had other options if he wanted to cut taxes for certain taxpayers.
ŌĆ£Rather than raising taxes on the private sector and investors, Mr. Obama might consider a far more sensible way to find the dollars for tax relief ŌĆō by curbing federal spending,ŌĆØ Berthoud said.

Edward Cullinan
|This biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (August 2014)
|Edward Cullinan, CBE, RA, RIBA, HonFRIAS
|17 July 1931
Edward Cullinan, CBE, RA, RIBA, HonFRIAS (born 17 July 1931) is a British architect.
Cullinan was educated at Cambridge University, the Architectural Association, and the University of California, Berkeley before working for Denys Lasdun where he designed the student residences for the University of East Anglia.[1]
Cullinan's practice, Edward Cullinan Architects, was founded in 1965. Notable projects include the Charles Cryer Theatre, Carshalton (completed in 1991),[2] the Fountains Abbey Visitor Centre (completed 1992), the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge) (completed 2003), the Weald and Downland Gridshell (2002, nominated for the Stirling Prize) and the new library at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge (opened 2010).
Cullinan is currently a visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham, and has been awarded four other professorships at The Bartlett (1978–9), Sheffield University (1985–87), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1985), and Edinburgh University (1987–90).
Edward Cullinan has been awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)'s 2008 Royal Gold Medal.
Cullinan is married to Rosalind, daughter of Norah and Victor Maslin Yeates. He has three children: Emma, a journalist; Kate, a fashion designer and Tom, a musician.
Cullinan was from a middle-class family. His Father, a doctor who served as senior physician at St Bartholomew's Hospital, had no great interest in the arts - though he was a brilliant amateur conjuror- but his mother (Slade-trained painter and daughter of the royal physician, Lord Horder) was an enthusiast for modern architecture and filled the nursery with Aalto furniture.

Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
he has really come on for Florida this season and is a big part of why the Gators are undefeated. he pretty much carried the offense to a victory against LSU this past weekend. he's quick, deceptively powerful, and I don't see any wasted movement in his runs. can't find too much video on him, but this one is pretty decent
what do you guys think? any nfl potential? probably a second or third day guy, but he'll come out with hardly any wear on him with this being his first year as a starter.
Definitely has NFL potential. I have him as a 3rd/4th round guy, but he looks like he can be a starting RB in the NFL, to me. Has shown very good patience, then a good burst thru the hole. Very tough runner between the tackles. 3-down potential with his ability to pickup the blitz. I also think he can be a decent receiver out of the backfield too. A lot depends on how he runs at the combine. I don't see the huge breakaway speed from him, but if he runs a sub 4.5, he could go as early as 2nd round. Will play some of the toughest defenses this season, so that can only help if he plays like he did vs. LSU.
I really like Gillislee and not just because he's one of the only things going for my SEC fantasy team. He's flashed his ability for the last couple years but for some reason he never really got as many opportunities as he probably should have. Doesn't have one particularly strong area but he's got a good mix of strength and elusiveness and he's really been running hard this year. I think he compares quite favorably to Steven Ridley - the slimmed down Patriots version more so than the big former fullback at LSU. I agree with rawdags assessment that he should land somewhere in that round 2-4 range.
He reminds me of Clinton Portis.
Great game last night and continues to make himself a lot of money

Haverford College
|StudentsReview ::
Haverford College - Comments and Student Experiences
Although a Haverford education is nearly unmatched, I do have many issues with the school regarding its social scene, support system, and culture. Haverford is a very tiny school. Even when including Bryn Mawr's student body, the student population feels very small as you do not see many students. Students at the school even refer to this group as the "Phantom 500," meaning that 500 out of the 1200 people in the school are ghosts because you never see them. This leads to seeing the same few people at every party, in the dining hall, on the quad, etc. etc.. If you are someone that is very outgoing and willing to befriend all of these people, this may not be an issue. But, given the type of person that Haverford attracts (people that are very to themselves) there is a cliquey atmosphere reminiscent of high school. All in all, you cannot really meet many new people.
The support system at Haverford was not what I was expecting from a school so small. Although I thankfully did not need to seek the use of the counseling services on campus, it is well known throughout the campus that there is a long wait list to be able to use this service. That's just unacceptable for a school so small and also points out something about the mental state of the student body. I have heard that the counseling service does do a good job. However, there obviously needs to be more put into that service. Although mental health is not really taken into consideration at this school, the academic services provided are pretty helpful, especially so at the library.
The culture of the school is best described as divided, apathetic, and liberal. All liberal arts colleges are going to be liberal to some extent, so that should not come as news to anyone reading this. However, the apathy of the students on campus kind of gives the campus a depressing feel. Although there are many students fighting for social causes or political movements, pretty much every student on campus has the personality of a piece of cardboard and when they engage in conversation it is very clear that they are trying to be as politically correct as possible. The other word I used to describe the campus was "divided." About 40% of the students are athletes. Many of the athletes give off an air that makes it seem as if they think the whole world revolves around them (this is coming from an athlete at the school). The word NARP (non-athletic regular person) is used to describe everyone else, and isn't used in the most polite of tones. Much of the student body that comprises everyone else has a very patronizing view of the athletes in their own way. Many stating that they probably did not have the qualifications to get into the school, and casting them as "dumb-jocks," or "dumb-jock wannabes" since it's only a division three school. This leads to a division between the student body that almost cuts the amount of people who you could easily befriend in half. Although I have my qualms about Haverford, I do not regret choosing to go there. I grew out of Haverford after my sophomore year and started going to other schools or into the city (NYC or Philadelphia) every weekend with a few friends. Although the social scene was not for me, the quality of the education I received outweighed all of the negative aspects of the school in my view. I am thankfully employed for my first year out of college, and I do believe that my Haverford education prepared me well for the workforce and possibly for grad school later on. Haverford is a school for people that are incredibly serious about their academics. It is not a party school and does not have a "ra ra" type of environment as some bigger universities may have. I cannot count the amount of conversations I have had over philosophical, political, and economic issues in my four years at the school outside of class. Obviously, people talk about other things too, but these are not atypical conversations by any means. If you fit this type of mold and think that you would like, not not mind but like, the social aspects of the school, then Haverford is a great place for you.

Businessman found dead a month after wife killed
By Robert Stanton | January 10, 2013 | Updated: January 10, 2013 4:50pm
Photo By Montgomery County SO
Thomas Anthony Quinlan, 58, was found dead Thursday, Jan. 10, inside his Lake Conroe home in the 140 block of North April Waters.
More Information
Dec. 31: Montgomery County businessman held in wife's shooting death
A Montgomery County businessman was found dead Thursday at his Lake Conroe home where he was accused last month of fatally gunning down his wife, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
Security personnel called sheriff's deputies about 10 a.m. when they spotted Thomas A. Quinlan, 58, in the April Sound subdivision going to his home in the 140 block of North April Waters, sheriff's Lt. Dan Norris stated in a press release. The security officers were aware that an emergency protective order was in place against Quinlan prohibiting him from being at the house.
Deputies arrived at the home Thursday and could not make contact with Quinlan. SWAT officers entered the home and found him dead of what is believed to be a self-inflicted wound, according to Norris.
Quinlan was released from the Montgomery County Jail on Jan. 3 after posting a $500,000 bond on charges that he fatally shot his wife, Donna Smith Quinlan, 56, at the home on Dec. 30, 2012, investigators said.
Investigators found Donna Quinlan dead with multiple gunshot wounds to her upper torso and head. The weapon used in the killing was a small-caliber handgun, Norris said.
Thomas Quinlan was arrested at the home and charged with murder.
Investigators said that the family had just returned from a trip and that the shooting occurred after an argument between the couple.
Thomas Quinlan was founder and owner of Willis-based InkJet Inc., a chemical company founded in 1990. According to Quinlan's page on Linkedin.com, he founded the firm "with $35,000 and has a current net worth of a good 8 figures and growing yearly."
Montgomery County sheriff's detectives and crime scene investigators were at the home Thursday afternoon interviewing witnesses and examining evidence, Norris said.

Interestingly, the people who freaked out on me - the men at "Concerned
Women for America" - were especially angry that the "uber" part
suggested they were akin to Nazis. You can read their little diatribe
buried in this larger article:
They also freaked out that a few years back I'd posted the following Web
page, documenting whether religious right anti-gay speech was awfully
similar to Nazi anti-Jewish rhetoric. Along those lines, check out this
sentence I literally just read in an email newsletter put out by the
"ex-gays" (generally people who claim to have "cured" their gay
orientation but who are really fronts for religious right anti-gay
activists). "They make more money as a group than most people, and they
wield political power out of all proportion to their numbers. To compare
themselves to the civil rights movement is extremely offensive and
logically inconsistent." Oh yeah, that doesn't sound like a bigot
describing Jews - my bad.

Well, it seems Dr. Laura is still ticked off that we got her TV show
canceled. She wrote an article recently for WorldNetDaily.com (to call
that Web site conservative would be generous). In the article, she
blasts Susan Sarandon and her partner Tim Robbins for being all upset
about people trying to boycott them because they don't like the
president. According to Dr. Laura, this is the same thing people did in
trying to keep her off of TV (you may recall Sarandon was one of the
first stars to endorse our StopDrLaura.com campaign).
Now, I had raised this issue already with gay writer Mike Signorile on
his new radio show, because I thought it was a valid point to raise,
though in the end, I think the comparison is wrong, and here's why.
Boycotts are not per se immoral things. They depend upon the motivation
of the boycotters and the circumstances. With StopDrLaura.com, we went
after Schlessinger because Paramount was treating gays by a different
standard than they treated other minorities. They wouldn't give a TV
show to David Duke. They wouldn't give a TV show to someone who called
Jews or blacks "biological errors" or who suggested that a large number
of Latino men were pedophiles. But when Dr. Laura did it to gays, that
was somehow ok. We were demanding that that Hollywood, and corporate
America, use the same standards when dealing with anti-gay prejudice
that they use for dealing with any other prejudice.
As for the Sarandon issue, her sin was that she doesn't like President
Bush. First off, comparing one's view of the president to prejudice is
to belittle the whole concept of civil rights. Second, In America,
people don't usually boycott other people simply because of their
opinion of the president. There's no issue of anti-Bush people getting
privileges that anti-Clinton people didn't get. No one boycotted Tom
Selleck because he's a Republican. So where's the equity in going after
Sarandon and Robbins here? It's as if saying that anyone who's ever
stood up to the Klan deserves to have their lives ruined. And I don't
buy that.
Anyway, you can read Dr. Laura's tirade here. (Glad to know she still
thinks of us):
Well, the "secret" that pretty much everyone in DC knew, that Republican
Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) is gay, is now out of the bag. It's an
interesting article about him in a Florida paper. Apparently, Foley is
running for the US Senate, and the question is whether a man who's
"known" to be gay could win a Senate race? (I know of one former US
Senator who was absolutely gay, but I don't think it was known or
confirmed at the time).
Anyway, an interesting article - you can read it here:
I had no idea, what kind of political insider am I? What more is there
to say? He's a big Democratic, he's running for president, and his
daughter is gay. Who knew? Read about it here:
A very interesting article by arch-conservative David Horowitz in
FrontPageMagazine.com. Horowitz is not somebody I tend to admire, but
he wrote one hell of a great piece about the religious right's warped
views on homosexuality. Something I would have never expected from
someone like him. The religious right is wigging out because, let's
face it, first the White House is meeting with homos, now a big-time
conservative icon is defending "the gays." The real question, of
course, is at what point the uber-Christians will wake up and smell the
coffee. More and more conservatives are coming out against their
hateful and bigoted positions, it's only a matter of time before the
only people agreeing with these organizations is going to be the very
few folks working there.
You can read the uber-Christian response, and the original Horowitz
article, here:
My favorite part is where the religious right group tries to explain
they're not hateful bigots, then they compare gay people to child
molesters. Ok then.
Second favorite part: Where they title the article "Horowitz owes
Christians an apology." I'm a Christian. He doesn't owe me
an apology.
Yes, the country that brought us French Fries is now going to legalize
gay marriage come mid-June. The only drawback, Belgians have to be
marrying someone from a country that also recognizes gay marriage (that
means another Belgian, the Dutch or nobody), and the law doesn't include
adoption rights, I hear. While I still find the law a tad annoying in
its less-than-completeness, it still is historic. It's also ironic that
I was chatting with a friend in Brussels today, and he was telling me
how amazing it is that America has gay quarters where gay people can
kiss on the street. Apparently, that doesn't exist in Belgian. It's
odd how socially and culturally we're more tolerant of gays, yet the
"less tolerant" countries are the ones offering the legal rights.
Perhaps because they don't have as many bigots-for-hire as we do.
Ok, back to my rainy Washington weather. I'm still getting over Buffy
being over, but I'll spare you that rant :-) At least we still have

What does it mean to have 'feelings' for someone?
I had sex with an older woman (49yr old - a sexy woman at that!) and later on she said she 'had feelings for me'. What exactly does she mean by that... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It means two things:
1. She likes you
2. She's trying to also show you how mature she is (which she's motivated to try and show you, to try and get you to start to like her too)
Most younger-guy older-woman relationships usually start off with the guy looking to find love, and the woman only looking for a fun sex partner who has more endurance that her husband or men her age.
I don't want to rush to conclusions, but just from the language you're using to describe her and the whole experience, it seems like this is the opposite situation. She is definitely OPEN to MORE than JUST sex ONLY. It doesn't mean she's ACTIVELY LOOKING or TRYING TO FORCE YOU OR PUSH YOU into it. But it DOES mean that she's trying to communicate to you, that:
"the sexual chemistry between us is great. I like your body, your sexuality, and the person you are. It's not like I set up boundaries with sex between us, and sort of implied, that "UNLESS you get into a relationship with me, then we're not going to have sex." I didn't do that. So you know I'm not manipulative, or selfish. I'm showing you that a relationship with ME, isn't going to be a relationship that's all about ME and what "I" want. I'm showing you that I'm emotionally mature, and a rational woman that has control over her emotions, as opposed to having her emotions have control over her."
"But I'm 49. I've had plenty of experience in trying to force or make a relationship happen. It's stupid, because if it's not what the other person really wants, then no degree of emotional or sexual blackmail is going to change that. So my proposition to you is.. That I really do enjoy the sex we have together. And, I also enjoy the time we spend together. I'm just letting you know that, I'm not one of those women who JUST want sex and nothing more. I'm doing this so you can feel safe. So you don't feel that if you want something more and you tell me, that I'm going to look down on you, feel less attracted & interested in you, and find an excuse to end things and leave."
"I'm simply "open" the more things. I'm not just looking for an only-emotional, only-financial, only-sexual relationship with you. I like you enough, that I want the whole package. But only if that's what you want too. If it's not, it's cool. Just tell me! Tell me, so I don't get more hurt as time goes on. I've showed you how mature I am, believe me, I can handle it now. In fact, I can handle it much better now, than much later on. So please just let me know how you feel, or even if you're not sure how you feel. I'm not playing with you. I'm being honest with me. It's not much to ask that you give me that same level of respect."
"But if you also like me, tell me. I won't think any less of you for it. And it's not like after telling me we'll jump strait to the alter; or even there at all. I'm looking for complete companionship more than anything else, and I like you enough to want that with you. If you're open to that, please let me know."
It means that
This is a woman that's being nothing but mature & completely honest with you.
You'd be a really big jerk, and be giving a really bad reputation to men if you do anything but give her the same level of respect she's shown you.
Awesome as usual
What Girls Said 16
it means that she probably just expected to have a one night stand with you with no feelings attached to it but you must have been really good in bed and sweet to her because she's beginning to like you as she can see you two in a relationship. WoW 49 just be careful with your heart because you are young.
WELL, haven't you ever had feelings for someone? it probably means she feels connected to you somehow I mean she feels empathy, compassion, a bond, emotional understanding, sexual tension, it CIOULD be negative feelings like frustration, anger, annoyance, guilt, but I do not think that would fit this scenario.
When you find out what it MEANS... to NEVER LOOSE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE...
TO HAVE NEVER LOST FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE. ( Inquiring Mind Wants to Know :-)

Crisis of Confidence: How Washington Lost Faith in America's Courts
As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the unexpected extent of the damage Americans have done to themselves and their institutions is coming into better focus. The event that "changed everything" did turn out to change Washington in ways more startling than most people realize. On terrorism and national security, to take an obvious (if seldom commented upon) example, the confidence of the U.S. government seems to have been severely, perhaps irreparably, shaken when it comes to that basic and essential American institution: the courts.

Javier Solana, Secretary General of the Council of the EU and High Representative for CFSP, held a meeting and a working lunch with Yang Jiechi, Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs, on 11 June 2008 in Brussels, to review the state of the EU/China relations and to discuss other issues related to the international and regional agenda.
During their joint press conference at the end of the meeting, they both underlined the good moment of the bilateral relations and hoped a deeper relationship between the European Union and China, even if Yang Jiechi remembered the importance of equality and non interference. On the Iranian nuclear programme, they both insisted on the need of finding a diplomatic solution.
