I'm not sure exactly how to say this, so I'll just get straight to the point. I think it's time we break up. It's not that I never liked you. When we started our "thing," I was looking for something different. I was tired of all those mid-90's bands. I did love their angsty lyrics and their searches for meaning and whatnot. But at times they got kinda annoying. I mean, come on, "our love is like water?" What exactly is that about?
So when I heard your song "Complicated," I was interested. Your songs were guilty pleasures, but you didn't seem like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, or any of those other stupid pop singers. You seemed like the anti-Britney with your punkish attitude and rockier sound. So I was okay with it. And I admit, after listening to a few songs, I fell for you. You were a little bratty, but it almost made me like you more. We both knew it wasn't serious or anything. It was just something fun and non-committal.
Then came your second album. I was totally surprised. It was dark and had a bit of substance. I loved your song "My Happy Ending," and I fell for you a little harder. Then I saw your new music videos. I was shocked. All of a sudden it looked like you had grown up. Gone were your weird ties and baggy pants. Instead you looked almost "ladylike" with your new dresses and hairstyles. I couldn't help think that maybe I was wrong, and this relationship was going to be something more than simple fun.
But then came your new album, The Best Damn Thing. When I heard your new single, "Girlfriend," I thought you were making fun of the new power-pop crap from Fergie and Gwen Stefani. But as I watched the music video and listened to it more, I realized it wasn't a joke. You were serious. When you sing "I think you know I'm damn precious / And hell yeah I'm the motherf-ing princess," you actually believe it. Sorry, but that's not attractive. You're not being bratty; you're being obnoxious. The sad thing is your album only got worse.
As the album went on, I couldn't believe what I was listening to. You giggled on a bunch of tracks and cursed for what seemed like no reason. Your sound was a cheap, stripped-down, pop-ish mush, and your lyrics were truly atrocious. When you told me "I hate it when a guy doesn't understand / Why a certain time of month I don't want to hold his hand," I just didn't want to hear it. I don't think your period belongs in your lyrics. I'm not saying you are a master wordsmith or anything. "He was a boy, she was a girl / Can I make it anymore obvious" isn't going to win any awards. But it was sure fun. Now your music is painful to listen to.
What's even worse is you seem to be going through an identity crisis. Why were you acting like a cheerleader on the track "The Best Damn Thing?" It sounded like a lame rip-off of "Hollaback Girl." And what's the deal with "I Don't Have To Try?" Let's get past the fact that your lyrics are horrible, you actually rapped "I'm the one I'm the one who knows the dance / I'm the one I'm the one who's got the prance / I'm the one I'm the one who wears the pants / I wear the pants." No Avril, I wear the pants, and I'm breaking up with you. When half way through the track you screamed like you were in a metal band there was no doubt in my mind that this is the right decision.
I think it's best we end things. We've obviously grown apart. I do appreciate your older music for how fun it was. But now your music it's laughable for how painfully bad it is. It's been fun, but it's time I move on to better things. Besides, I found this new girl, Anna Nalick, who is an actual female artist with substance that I can respect. No hard feelings, I hope you do well.
Best of Luck,
David Najmi

This is not our first B&B but it is the first one we have really enjoyed. The room is pretty and very, very clean- something difficult to find! Dawn and Darin are great and understand that guests need privacy
also, even though they are staying in a B&B. The renovations are wonderful and the breakfast is even better! A great way to start the day and meet new people. My husband can't wait to come fly fishing in the spring or fall. The wolf sanctuary just makes a great stay even better!

Thank you so much for a most enjoyable stay. Your lovely house was so welcoming. Our tour was so interesting and our guide, Lisa, was very informative. Breakfasts – delicious! Again, thank you for your hospitality.

This has been a wonderful experience. What a great get away for our 23rd wedding anniversary!
Speedwell Forge is an elegant reminder of days past. Our stay in the Paymaster's Suite was relaxing and romantic.
Spending time with the wolves was such a humbling and exciting opportunity. Every person we met who is dedicated to protecting these magnificent animals has been very friendly and eager to share the wolves' stories. It has made our time here richer.
Delicious food! Thank you, Dawn, for opening your home to us.
We look forward to our return trip,

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality during our stay. You helped to make our anniversary and birthdays truly memorable and special in so many ways.
Two years ago, we stayed at the Summer Kitchen and this year at the Whyte House. Both were wonderful experiences and we look forward to our next visit, hoping it will come much sooner than before.
Your wolf sanctuary is so amazing and we hope that you are blessed with many more rewarding years ahead. God Bless you both for the work you do on their behalf.
Thank you once again,

Dear Dawn and Darin,
Thank you for your hospitality. Staying in the Summer Kitchen was very well appreciated. The restoration of these historic buildings makes them homey and well preserved for the future.
To visit the wolf sanctuary was a birthday present from my wife. To see and be so close to the animals has left a deep impression behind.
We enjoyed breakfast and the little conversations every morning during our stay.
Thank you again and all the best for the future.
Renate and Diefer
Thank you for a wonderful stay. Our bed, so comfy. Food, delicious! Loved the wolves. Say good bye to Loki for us. Your mansion is beautiful!
Vicky and Mark
My thoughtful sweet loving sister brought me here to this beautiful mansion as a surprise for my birthday with two other girlfriends. It's my second time at the sanctuary and my first time at the bed and breakfast. I enjoyed the privilege of viewing the wolves after hours and the newly formed packs not yet on the tour.
The mansion has been beautifully renovated and our weekend here has been peaceful, relaxing, and invigorating.
Dawn offered tremendous hospitality and the renovations very accommodating. I will truly hold my memories of my special weekend in my heart forever.
Breakfast was very good with a healthy variety of awesomeness. Enjoyed the social gathering. Hope to return and will pass on to friends.
Debbie and Lisa

Dawn and Darin, this B&B is so amazing. Considering this is our first ever experience with a B&B. I do believe you have both blessed us and spoiled us. The Wolf Sanctuary is spectacular and hearing them howl was something I hope my children get to experience one day!
To others staying here, take in as much as possible, do the wolf tour, and take a walk to explore further . You won't regret it.
Thomas and Rebecca
Dawn and Darin,
Love the Whyte House, beautiful, comfortable, relaxing. As always our stay was wonderful. Breakfasts were yummy. The wolves, as always, were wonderful to visit with them. Our birthday/anniversary was really extra special this year.
Thanks to the both of you for a great time and for your friendship

Wow! This place has all we dreamed about and more! Frank had never experienced snow, and….we got a lovely 4" dusting on Saturday, which was so magical and all the more special, as it was the first for him. The scenery is a snap shot out of Currier and Ives, and a true winter wonderland.
This lovely charming and oh so comfortable cottage is perfectly situated in an area of incredible peace and tranquility….in addition to the expected physical rejuvenation, there is also a spiritual reconnection with nature. And the wolves with their hauntingly beautiful howls, made this all the more spectacular.
Kudos to Dawn for providing such a fantastic and well appreciated cottage, where every need is met. The breakfast in the formal dining room was a true treat to be served. We also loved the hot tub and oh so warm fireplace. What a fantastic way to bring in the new year! Thank you Darin and Dawn, and the wolves for a fabulous experience!
Carrie and Frank
This was our first stay at a B&B, and what a wonderful experience. Wolves are my favorite animals and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, our birthdays this weekend are and will be a fantastic memory- we will be back!!

Speedwell Forge is my first B&B. What an amazing and wonderful experience! Thank you Dawn- and all here for making my stay so great! The quiet, peace and serenity are just what I needed! I spent most of yesterday with the wolves in the sanctuary. How awesome! They are sooo beautiful- and just magnificent all of them!!! I am most grateful and deeply appreciative to Dawn- and all the humans here- for providing such a wonderful place for the wolves to just be themselves in safety! I'll be back! Thanks again!
Dawn and Darin,
Thank you so much for welcoming us so kindly into your home. Breakfast every morning was delicious and the perfect way to start the day. The room was great and the house has such charm. You are great people to chat with too! The wolves are fantastic and so much fun to watch. We loved it so much that we spontaneously booked an extra night on the day we were supposed to be leaving. We will be returning for sure!
Thanks again,
Jen and Matt
Wonderful weekend. The cottage was a wonderful oasis for us. We will spread the word of this place and the people who work so hard to protect it.

This Place is everything I could have ever hoped for in a vacation. The feel of nature and these magnificent wolves truly called to me. Alicia and IL had such an amazing time here that we booked our next stay before we even left! Thank you so much for doing what you do here.
Alicia and Steven
P.S. Ditto to everything Steven said. This place stole my heart. Dozier was a sweetheart!

Awesome, awesome as usual! The wolves are so magnificent. After running in the Boston Marathon on Monday with the bombings, this was just the retreat I needed. Breakfast was incredible. Can't wait to come back!!
Leslie and Bob

We made it to 5 years in a row! Each year we love it more. Thank you for the amazing raw vegan food! Let's see if I'm still doing that next year.
We really enjoyed our two night stay this year. So great to be past the new born baby stage of life. Good times, but so much work! That is why it is great to come here for a rest!
Have an awesome year and we might see you again before the next one if we make it in December again.
Sophia and Andrew
I've never had such an awesome breakfast. Dawn and Darin were so awesome and a special thanks to the cleaning lady for being so great and helpful. Thank you so much for taking care of our messes. We had such a relaxing time being private and enjoying each other and the tub!
The wolves are so totally awesome, with them howling and so awesome to see up close. We will be back and stay in a different cabin. Everything was perfect, comfortable, and relaxing. I don't have enough words to explain except you must experience it.
I can't wait to come back again, maybe with a few other friendly couples of my own. This place is awesome. Thank you everyone! I never realized I could learn so much about wolves. Oh one more thing, get the couples' massage, very awesome!!
Melanie and James
Boyertown, PA
Another wonderful stay! This is our getaway place and love it! So relaxing, beautiful, good people, great food. So happy to have found your B&B! Will be back soon.

Benghazi Crime Scene — The Trailer Did It
"We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the consulate to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons."
For all its high-level thinking, the Obama administration refuses to acknowledge the distinct possibility that last week's attack in Benghazi, Libya, which left Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, was an orchestrated event meant to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Ditto, possibly, the protest that ended with activists scaling the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
There is no evidence, Rice claimed, the attacks were "preplanned." The catalyst, she said, was the trailer for a movie, "Innocence of Muslims," produced in the United States.
House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers is not so sure. He told "Fox News Sunday" that the attackers "were able to launch two different separate attacks on locations there near the consulate, and they repelled a fairly significant Libyan force that came to rescue the embassy."
Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif scoffed at the notion that the murders were the product of "a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control."
But the White House won't budge on its blame-the-video scenario. "This is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims," White House press secretary Jay Carney insisted Friday. And there's no proof the Benghazi attack was "preplanned."
This administration desperately wants to blame American anti-Islamic extremists who made the trailer for fueling the violence in Benghazi.
So the administration is going into shutdown mode. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Friday that her department won't "be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this … happened" until an FBI investigation is completed.
And: "This is now a crime scene."
Read: They won't answer questions about Benghazi. The administration is shutting up paid spokespeople — and trying to silence others. Last week, the White House asked YouTube to review its "terms of use" policy; if YouTube had found a violation, it would have led to the trailer's removal inside the United States.
As George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley blogged, "the latest White House move appears to be an effort to get YouTube to remove the video without taking responsibility for expressly asking for the removal." Turley added, "If this video is removed, then why not any video that is deemed insulting to a given religious or religious figure."
Oddly, the news media seem more upset with Mitt Romney for criticizing a State Department tweet than with the White House for not answering unwelcome questions and flirting with censorship.

Pentagon Follows Best Practices for Facilities Planning, GAO Finds
- July 28, 2015
- comments: 0
The Defense Department adheres to leading practices for capital planning when it develops funding requirements for facilities modernization, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office. For example, DOD guidance establishes a system for determining funding requirements and reviewing and approving budget requests by taking into consideration the costs of proposed assets, the levels of risk involved in modernizing assets and their importance to DOD's mission, GAO found. The guidance also requires the military services to prioritize projects. DOD guidance establishes an annual budget process for identifying and allocating resources for capital investments to achieve the department's strategic objectives …

I tried to post this question a minute ago but the site didn't seem to register it, so I will try once more.
Can someone explain why the seizures in this case are not a violation of the US Constitution's Contract Clause. The US Eminent Domain clause only applies to federal seizures and the Eminent Domain Clause of the California Constitution is subordinate to the US Contract Clause due to the Supremacy Clause. It seems the insinuation into a contract between the morgager, the mortgagee, the mortrgage underwriter, the CDS underwriter and the holders of any MBSs by a municipal corporation would be a violation of the Contract Clause. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Somehow conservatives think it is just great to use eminent domain to build a Second Walmart Store or a big new stadium over the land of homeowners….. But God forgive anyone so obviously stupid to ever use it to secure home for the people that actually compose the community that the best interest implies. I can't wait to see this eminent domain being used to take back the 20% of the means of production that the capitalists have left empty for years now and hand it over to the community as Democratic Worker Ownerships.

been there a lot of time, and each time no difference , gooooood food and rely exelent food and great pizza,
Nice food, great service! We ate here twice, had great food each time. First it was fish, beafsteak, lamb and pork chops - all excellent. Next time we had pizzas which were better than in Italy !! I can only recommend anyone.
Even if this place is mostly known as a fish restaurant, I went there more than once to get some pizza. I have tried most of the menu entries, and even if I am a very demanding customer when it comes to pizzas, Maruzzella always made it so far. The last one I´ve tried is the one with seafood, literally...
We had two lunches here on a recent visit. The first time a mixture of shellfish. The scallops were excellent and my husband thought the sauce (buzara) was very good though I thought it slightly watery. The second time we chose steaks and I found the meat tasty and well cooked.
The service is extremely friendly and pleasant and the...
My first time there becouse of a birthday dinner. The food was a tasty mix of Istrian kinds of pasta,gnocchi, risotto, prosciutto and truffle cheese..excellent is a small word!
the second time was a fast&furious escape as we were starving! but in no time the meat was out and look at the pic and ull tell me what u think!...
I am coming to Umag very often so I tryed many different restaurants around. Sometimes bussisines lunch with fish and great wine in a special room with fire place, sometimes just pizza on a great terace after beach. I was always very happy with a food and service. Friendly chef Paulo and his wife Suzana are very nice and profesional...
After all day photoshooting this restaurant was a perfect choice for perfect meal.Delicious carpaccio and risotto with scampi.I'l be back for shure....
Excellant restaurant known for always fresh &delicious seafood and meat delicacies, Istrian specialties and the best Pizza we've ever eaten. Great place for special celebrations.
This restaurant had been recommended by the hotel staff and based on the various reviews we decided to give it a try.
Service was friendly, but somewhat confused, we were served one wrong dish and the wait time for a simple pasta dish was rather long.
The food itself was OK, but not memorable in any way, we have had...

Wow, talk about a girl that is used to never winning....poor thing.
To all the Cardinals fans- just remember, even when the Cubs lose, we leave Wrigley and our lives are better because we're in Chicago. You leave Busch after a Cards game and the sad reality hits you that your lives suck because you're still in St. Louis.
Sounds like a challenge to change both
Rule: If you are a cubs fan, you bring bad karma upon yourself. No exceptions...
But I bet she doesn't type like AND retard.

Go cards. Ultimate cockblock: cubs hat on the kiss cam.
You must be a cardinals fan!
Here's a tough one: if you could fix one of her problems, which one would you choose?
I have a hard time believing that
Is she also a Detroit Lions fan?
I'll cockblock myself if she says she's a cubs fan. Go Cardinals!!! Chicago what do you say? The cubs are gonna lose today!!!
Go cubs
Poor girl - send her my way.
How long has it been now for those damn cubs fans? 102 years?
The Astros are the Phillies minor league team!
Aha, pujols
1908 bitches
Her nAme is jenny

This continues to prove that all cubs fans suck dick

Trolls on the Loose
A short aside:
Well, it's Sunday evening and the troll that follows me around just signed up for ALL my blogs. She has no interest in any of them, but just wants to know what I'm saying. She's a troublemaker from way back and, after having shut down a couple of blogs because of her, I've decided not to do that anymore. I've blocked her from commenting and don't have to read any inane notes. That's enough for me.
Isn't the Internet great?
I'll be back in a day or so with more on the election and life in general.
Hey, Troll. Get a life of your own!! You are not part of mine.
A Debate to Remember – Or Not
Bret Baier, the Fox media guy who will be one of the moderators for the Republican debate next week, says he's not sleeping well. From TIME online:
"I'd be lying to you if I didn't say that I have woken up in cold sweats wondering how I'm going to deal with a Donald Trump who's not listening," debate co-moderator Bret Baier told TIME earlier this month.
Word is out that Trump will be a regular choir boy for the debate, all sweetness and statesmanship and polite as hell, but that's no guarantee it will really happen. Remember, folks, the one thing a narcissist hates and will not tolerate is being corrected or told "No." Or to stop talking. Being reminded that time's up is exactly that.
The response will be explosive and predictable.
I think the debate set-up is all wrong when it comes to a candidate like Donald Trump, the kid in the schoolyard who never wants to play fair. Of course, they could just shut off his microphone, but I suggest a different set-up.
How about putting the Hair of State front and center in one of those dunking chairs like we see at county fairs and carnivals? As long as he speaks his piece in the allotted time and acts like a reasonable human being, he stays in his chair. If he gets combative – and he will – Baier can pull the plug and the Donald, hair and all, will drop into the water tank below.
No kidding, after a couple of dunks, the Donald will either storm off the stage shouting about how rich he is (which he just as likely will do anyway) or he'll get himself in line (fat chance of that).
I was thinking yesterday about the Hair's propensity for telling us all that he's really, really rich, and I flashed back to a night many years ago when I was visiting a school friend in San Francisco.
We were in our early twenties and she lived in a great part of the city which, like New York, never slept. We got hungry about midnight and went out to get sandwiches at a place down the block. While we were walking back, a couple of guys in suits and ties approached us, apparently thinking we were (a) attractive enough to approach or (b) little sisters of the night looking to score. We ignored them (boring out-of-towners in suits) and then one of them, clearly annoyed, said, "We're really rich, girls!"
We, of course, burst out laughing and they went away, but lately I've been trying to recall — exactly how did that guy's hair look anyway?
Jeez, I hope he's not still trying to prove something to a couple of twenty-somethings in San Francisco.
Breaking News! Republican Debate Format Will Include Gymnastics
Just when the Republican pre-pre-pre-primary hoo-hah can't get any more bizarre, along comes Rick Perry who is so mad at Donald Trump he has now challenged the wannabe Hair of State to a pull-up contest. I'm not making this up.
This could change everything.
In addition to the pull-up contest, the Republican debate will no doubt also include other all-time favorite debate tactics in which participants:
– refuse to relinquish the microphone when their time is up
– engage in eye-rolling and other nasty faces while others are speaking
– interrupt with snorts and not-so-subtle shouts of "You lie!"
– whistle "Dixie"
– play the old favorite "Who's Got the Biggest?"
– bang footwear on the table
– hold up signs announcing the wealth in their campaign chests or, in Donald Trump's case, simply saying "I'm really, really rich"
– sling mud at 40 paces
– argue with the moderator
– do the "I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore" stomp
– get into full-out fisticuffs before the evening is over.
Folks, this is a creative and combative crew. Anything is possible. Jerry Springer will be on call if needed.
Before the debate, Mr. Trump will hand out cheesy ballpoint pens misprinted with the words "Trup Development." At the end of the debate he will collect the pens from any Republican he believes was not "fair and reasonable" to him.
As the stage lights dim and debaters head for the wings, Mr. Trump will continue to argue loudly that he does too have the biggest but it's really cold in the room.
The Hair of State and the Ass
NOTE TO DONALD TRUMP: If you're going to have a pitbull New York lawyer on your team, at least find one who knows the law. Seems to me, Donald, the next words out of your mouth to Mr. Michael Cohen should be, "You're fired!"
As for Ivana's new note of support for the Donald, am I the only one who wonders whether or not, the words came from Donald himself? That last line is the giveaway for me. "Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president." To my linguist's ear it just has the ring of "I'm really, really rich."
Maybe you think he'd be incredible, Ivana (or Donald as the case may be), but a hell of a lot of us think an offensive, narcissistic blowhard is the last person we want as our Hair of State.
For the record, those of us who've been through divorces know that things can get tense, and I'll grant it might be that Ivana did exaggerate the tiniest bit in her allegation that she was raped, although it's a pretty serious allegation. Still, things do get said in the heat of discussions.
In my own case, given that a Trump-like fortune was not involved, the hottest our discussion got was about a couple of pieces of art.
So, (in a Nixon-esque gesture of fingers in the air), let me say this: My point this morning is not about the alleged rape.
It's about the incompetence of Trump's legal pit bull, Michael Cohen, who has demonstrated a temper at least as bad as Trump's and let go with a threatening, irresponsible tirade when he doesn't know Shinola about the law in question. "Clear case law" is a joke in the man's mouth.
Charles Dickens was right: "The law is an ass." Or to be perfectly true to Mr. Dickens, "The law is a ass." And in this case the ass is apparently advising the yappy dancing dog in the tutu.
Dancing Dogs and Tigers
If I sit too long in one quiet place looking out the window on a summer day, my idle mind begins to drift. I happily become a child again wondering about all that's around me.
Why is the sky blue? What holds the clouds up there? If I keep digging in the backyard, will I end up in China? How do the bees know where the flowers are? If Fred leaves Cincinnati at 5:00 and Sally leaves Indianapolis at 7:00…Believe me, my mind never drifts that far.
I was happy to meet a professional mathematician a few years ago who admitted that he froze anytime someone started a sentence with the words, "If one train leaves Philadelphia at 6:00 and another train…" And you thought you were the only one who failed story problems.
After I read the so-called news this beautiful summer morning, I did sit for a while and look out my window and my mind did drift, but I couldn't get in the groove of being a child again. The questions about everything around me kept coming back to the present.
Questions like: Why is the first Republican debate taking place in August, a year or so away from the nominating convention? How did good people get elected before Fox News existed? Why are people who know better using such ugly language in public like invoking the Holocaust? How can Donald Trump's name be worth $3 billion?
But mostly, I wondered how it happened that preparing for an election debate to inform us about the people who want to lead our country for four years morphed into a Jerry Springer special with slurs and spitting and interrupting and shouting with the possibility of outright pushing and shoving while the audience whistles and applauds?
As a child, I didn't have the answers to my questions. As an adult, I have the answer to this one.
I once visited a large metropolitan zoo whose big promotional claim at the time was four baby tigers. These little creatures were beautiful and playful but wild animals all the same. Our family happened to get there at feeding time and we watched as the zookeeper tossed four chunks of red meat into the cage. Each little tiger grabbed one and then the zookeeper said to the crowd, "Now watch this."
He tossed a fifth piece of meat into the cage and all hell broke loose. It was a funny kind of hell that exposed the animal natures of those creatures. Each of the four wanted that fifth piece of meat, but didn't want to give up the one already claimed. A hilarious show of greed, bullying, prancing, slapping, and maneuvering ensued including the tiger who kept one paw on his first piece of meat while he stretched his body as far as possible to lay a paw on the fifth piece only to be knocked over by another greedy cat.
I tell you this story because it holds the answer to my questions about all the bad behavior among the Republican candidates.
The Media are the zookeepers.
Fox News, CNN, your local reporters, the big guys and gals in DC and NY and LA, the political bloggers looking for more followers, the Google News algorithm – they're all in on it, reporting with gusto the latest of the worst, throwing that fifth piece of meat into the Republican fray. Hourly. And the candidates will do anything to grab it.
Or with regard to the debate, get enough headlines and column inches and percentage points to be invited to the big debate no matter how demeaning the process may be for them. Instead of asking how presidential they could be, they're asking what kind of stupid pet trick they can do to get more points.
Sadly, the media rarely go for the high road. They've put us all on a low road by turning a group of fairly sensible adults who might otherwise be beautiful tigers into a stupid pet act of yappy little dogs dancing in tutus. The media moguls are cheering.
The world, however, is watching and the zoo is coming to a town near you. Soon. Very soon.
Trumpery – Showy but Useless
Sometimes I hate it when I'm right.
Two days ago I noted that Donald Trump is the kind of brat who hates not getting his way and makes whoever prevents that pay. Big.
This morning in the news come the not unexpected announcements that he's seriously considering a Third Party run for President. The Democrats are cheering. The Republicans are going to pay. Big.
But it's not the announcement itself that caught my eye. A lot of us have been expecting it. It was Donald Trump's reason for the announcement that caught my eye. As the New York Times reported: "I'll have to see how I'm being treated by the Republicans," Mr. Trump said. "Absolutely, if they're not fair, that would be a factor."
Standard brat talk.
Third party candidates are not new, but they generally run on something more substantial than a petulant whine.
Donald Trump has been busy insulting everybody in the Republican party like the brat he is and now he uses the responses to this bad behavior as his reason to go Third Party: They're not being fair and not treating him well.
He hasn't criticized their politics. He's gone for the personal, ad hominem attacks – the first resort of the bully.
Or in the lingo of the schoolyard brat: "So what if I said you were stupid. How come you won't let me play?"
I'm not sure in what alternate universe Donald Trump is residing or building new casinos at the moment, but the words despicable dictator and emotional abuse come to mind. And this behavior is the keystone of the narcissist. "I can treat you any way I want, but if you say or do anything back, you'll regret it."
The idea that Donald Trump is a narcissist is hardly news, but up to now he's mostly just been doing the dance of the narcissistic clown. Now he's beginning to show us what happens when narcissism and big big big money get together. "I'm really, really rich." Code for "Don't get in my way, because I'm King of the World, Ma!"
People caught in relationship with narcissists are hostages, and the advice to them is to get out because narcissistic brats don't care how much damage they do and they rather enjoy doing it.
Take a look at the photos appearing of Donald Trump. Do you think he's feeling bad about a damned thing he's said or done? Or might do in the future?
All I can say is "Save yourself, America! Run as fast as you can!"

ARMONK, N.Y. – In a banquet hall filled Sunday with artwork at the Brynwood Country Club in Armonk, many residents came out to bid on a number of rare pieces to help benefit a local family who got taken by an infamous con man.
"We'll be selling artwork that is from a terribly large family that was victimized by Madoff," said Dominic Briscoe of Bernie Madoff, the former financier now serving a 150-year sentence in federal prison for running a $65 million Ponzi scheme. Briscoe was the auctioneer of the event on Sunday. "They're selling their personal collection. It's not one household, it's extended. They all threw in together."
With dozens and dozens of paintings, drawings and sketches filling the room, there was plenty to choose from even for those only interested in browsing.
"I just love art and I love to look at it, I figured I'd come here rather than go into the city," said Armonk resident Dania Greenberg. "It's amazing, I was surprised to see the variation and how many Picassos there were."
Anyone who was interested in buying particular paintings could walk around the room and place a yellow sticker on the item to be sure it would be up for bid. Briscoe would present each painting and then gave a brief biography of the artist and a description of the piece of work. He described the assortment of paintings as ranging from "collectible to wealth level investment" as there were even some Picasso and Andy Warhol works in the collection.
The actual auction only had a handful of bidders sitting down, though, with some of the paintings sold for a discount.
"This is like we're selling stolen goods today," Briscoe said. "This is not indicative. We usually have standing room only."

Edit: More/more recent/GOOD news regarding Murphy's health in the link below:
Digging: Spectral Lore - Voyager
goddammit cancer is a bitch, james play one of ur solos and slay that motherfucker
Digging: Cemetery (US) - Wind and Shadows
the link i put in my previous comment says that Murphy's tumor only grew a little and the chemio and surgery will be avoided for the present time.
Damn yeah that really sucks. Not a huge fan of death or testament (metal isn't really my thing), but can respect what he's done for the genre and music as a whole. Can't imagine what it's like to think you're recovering well only to find out that things aren't going the way you want. Best of luck to the dude.
gonna donate some money
this really sucks
I didn't even know he had such problems, and an operation in the year Chuck died... Get well soon buddy
he is not dead sonic ffs
I hope the doctors are wrong!
In the link i posted in the first comment of this thread, the doctors said that the tumor increased only a little, and that Murphy will avoid chemio and surgery for now, while he will receive a moderate but careful treatment.

The US healthcare system is bullshit. You shouldn't have to pay for potentially life-saving procedures :/
Unreal and sad that he and Chuck would have the same ailment.
The US healthcare system is bullshit. You shouldn't have to pay for potentially life-saving procedures :/
On the bright side, it's been ten years since he was diagnosed; that's a hell of a prognosis for brain cancer. My dad lived exactly three months after his diagnosis.
how can you people be worried about this 1 guy
sea kittens need you more
cuz he's a death metal icon duh
Let's hope for the best. Testament and Death are icons

Shopping Center Industry Optimistic that Legislation Will Pass During Lame-Duck Session
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) released the results of a national poll finding that a majority of Americans support the Congressional effort to require online retailers to collect sales tax at the point-of-purchase. The poll was conducted just before the holiday shopping season to gauge consumer sentiment about online sales and use tax collection. ICSC strongly supports two bills currently under consideration in Congress—the Marketplace Fairness Act and the Marketplace Equity Act—which are designed to level the playing field for all retailers.
"Support for a federal solution to the problem that has plagued brick-and-mortar retailers across the country for more than two decades has never been stronger," said Michael Kercheval, president and CEO of ICSC. "With bills in the House and the Senate that have strong bipartisan support, we expect Congressional supporters of the legislation to push for passage during the lame-duck session," added Kercheval.
The ICSC national poll identified a number of key findings, including:
- 59% of consumers support the Congressional effort to require online retailers to collect sales tax at the point-of-purchase, up three percentage points since May.
- 71% of respondents are motivated to shop locally because 68 cents of every dollar spent at a locally-owned retailer stays in the community.
- 82% of consumers who support federal legislation do so because "common sense dictates that if you buy a product online you should pay the same sales tax as if you had bought the same product in a store."
When told that 68 cents of every dollar spent at a locally-owned retailer stay in the community, seven in 10 Americans opt to shop at local brick-and-mortar stores. "Local retailers invest in their communities and play a significant role in the overall quality of life in the places we call home," said Betsy Laird, senior vice president of global public policy. "This is clearly an issue that matters to consumers, and we are working closely with Congress to get the bills enacted this year," added Laird.
ICSC has promoted sales tax fairness for over a decade, advocating that a "sale is a sale" regardless of whether the purchase takes place on Main Street, at shopping centers, via mail-order or over the Internet. For more information about sales tax fairness and how the current sales tax system is unable to support the 21st Century retail marketplace please visit www.21stcenturyretail.org.
About ICSC
Founded in 1957, ICSC is the premier global trade association of the shopping center industry. Its more than 55,000 members in over 90 countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, retailers and brokers, as well as academics and public officials. As the global industry trade association, ICSC links with more than 25 national and regional shopping center councils throughout the world. For more information, visit www.icsc.org.
About the Survey
This survey was conducted on behalf of ICSC by Opinion Research Corporation (ORC) using a computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system randomly selected from a national probability sample of 1,005 adults comprising 500 men and 505 women 18 years of age and older, living in private households in the continental United States. Interviewing for this survey was completed during the period October 25-28, 2012.

Seagate Technology has announced that its Momentus5400 PSD hard drive, a 2.5in notebook drive that combines disc storage with flash memory to deliver ultra power efficiency, faster boot-ups and greater reliability for the exploding laptop PC market, is drawing many accolades.
The Seagate hard drive uses non-volatile cache, or flash memory, to cost-effectively deliver benefits similar to that of solid state disc drives but at a much lower price. The 160GB drive places commonly used hard drive data onto 256MB flash memory to accelerate boot-up, reduce power consumption, increase reliability and boost performance of laptop computers.
Such attributes have applications in the broadcast market, with the need for fast starts after power failure, so it remains to be seen how long it is before such technology is seen in professional products.
