DIfficult pet?
dog walker pet sitter mobile groomer dog trainer
Owner Tiffany Cady is an outgoing, fun-loving, caring animal lover. READ TIFFANY'S BIO
Angel Pets of Houston is family owned and operated. We are a professional full time mobile pet care service business. We provide just about everything you might need to care for your pets in your home such as:
We are happy to customize our services to meet your individual needs. Our devotion to pets is deep in the heart of the family of animal lovers who provide the services. Angel Pets staff are bonded and insured as well as background checked. We are also rescuers and volunteers.
We simply enjoy spending time with pets and care deeply about them. We get very attached to our clients pets and treat then like our own.
No pet is too difficult
We specialize in grooming and caring for large, old, disabled, anti-social, fearful or even aggressive pets- YES! both dogs and cats too. We also groom parrots and reptiles.
If your pet is kicked out of doggy daycare or sent home unfinished from the grooming salon or refused at the boarding kennel, let us help.
Tiffany is very responsive and communicative. She follows our instructions to the T and always responds to our communications promptly. She has taken very good care of animals we've entrusted to her and we will definitely hire her again.
David L.
I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Not only are they all happier staying at home when my family takes a weekend trip, but it is easier that trying to coordinate when to drop them off and pick them up at the kennel, not to mention getting them all in the car, especially the cats. AND it saves us money too. It costs less than boarding at the kennel down the street because I have so many pets!
Kathy D.
I have used Tiffany's midday and overnight live in house sitting services at least three times. I was very nervous about using a pet sitter service because I had a negative experience with one. She and one of her employees, Kristy came out to introduce themselves and were very professional and assured me that they would take good care of my dog.
She was very thorough in gathering care information for when I was gone.
So while I was out of town, Tiffany spent the night at my house and Kristy visited to let my dog out midday. They both communicated with me via text and even sent me pics. My pet tends to be very nervous so I was grateful for the consistent communication. When I returned, everything was very neat, my dog was very happy and appeared to be well taken care of and, what I especially loved, was they had a written out care log which let me know when and if my dog ate, play times, and when she went out. I love that they take the time to describe how she is doing.
I now get daily visits while I am at work so my older pet doesn't have accidents in the house and it is such a relief to not have to rush home to let her out every day.
I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for someone who cares for their pet as if they were their own.

1. You get to watch your dog being groomed. If you have a difficult dog you can see that we are handling him gently and carefully. You can even help hold, comfort and calm your pet while we groom them if you want to. You can stand there and tell us just how to trim your dogs hair so you get exactly the cut you desire. We don't mind! The nonsense other groomers tell you about your dog misbehaving if you watch is usually not true. We estimate only about 10% of our clients misbehave when the owner is near. In those cases we would ask you to watch from another room so your dog is not "begging you to save them" which usually what makes them too wiggly for the groomer to groom safely! LOL
2. For older dogs, especially large ones, getting in the car to go to a groomer can be difficult due to arthritis and hip problems. Maybe your dog gets car sick? Ir your dog is just too dirty and your don't want dog hair in your new car. Large and old dogs feel very scared up on a grooming table too. Many mobile van groomers can not accommodate a large dog. They have no way to lift them into the bathing tub or on the table. We sit on the ground and let older dogs lie down while we groom them. We can even give a bath while a dog is lying down.
how we do it
We set up our grooming table in your home in the Houston area, on a plastic drop cloth. We do the bath in the sink for little ones, in the tub for others, even outside for large dogs. We prefer that you have a shower sprayer with hose attachment but it is not required, we can use a good old fashioned bucket to pour water over a dog.
Mobile grooming for cats is MUCH less stressful for them. You won't have to put them in a crate at all but we do suggest you put them in a bathroom before we arrive because as soon as they smell all the dogs on our equipment they will hide!

"Big Brother" has finally taken control. In a mind boggling move the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed placing a monitor in each radio, television and print media news room to keep tabs on the news being presented to the public. To the time honored questions answered by every reporter - who, what where, when and how - the FCC monitor will also ask "why." Incredible, a blatant attempt by the Feds to control the news. And where are our defenders of media freedom to report the news?
I am sure the Obama Administration will quickly dismiss this as the hair brained idea of a misguided minion. But how on earth did this proposal even get started?

I was under the impression that the first release for Q1 2012 was going to include a control equivalent to the Hubtiles control of the silverlight toolkit for WP. I can only see included the live tiles helper, that is much improved (thanks for the update method! :-) ). However I would like to be able to build hub tiles inside my app without having to resort to build the functionality from scratch, or resorting to another toolkit.
Are there any news about hub tiles in the roadmap of this product?

Hi Francisco,
Yes - we are working on the HubTile control and we hope that it will be available in the next release of the suite - probably within a month.

The Moneylender of Venice:
In Shylock, a Different Play Struggles to be Born
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's poorer plays. It has three of his unique soliloquies, a lyrical love scene, a couple of vehement dramatic situations, and two strong characters in Shylock and Portiabut it never catches fire as a work of art. The reason is that Shakespeare, who certainly never saw a confessed Jew in England, and very probably never was in Italy in his life, gives us a Shylock in The Merchant of Venice who is so complex that he destroys the comic unity of the play.
Shakespeare's comedies, it is true, are never simple; they abound in ambiguities and hard philosophic comments, generally in the ironic-pessimistic vein of Jaques in As You Like It ("All the world's a stage . . ."). For the comic point, perhaps best communicated by the epigrammatic clown or fool, is the classic liberation of objectivity. It is as though the ludicrous motley gave the wearer license to stick a healthy finger through the interstices of the moral garb. The difference between the clowns in Shakespeare's comedies and those in his tragedies is mainly one of intensity—their functions are the same: to reveal the human rigidity behind the rich social folds.
This unconventional detachment is present in Lear, where the "poor fool" cryptically relates his master's senility to the lifelong constriction typical of a king's experience. It is true of Touchstone, Jaques' "motley fool," who, lounging in the free Forest of Arden, ridicules the fashionable sterility of melancholy:
And so from hour to hour we ripe and
And then from hour to hour we rot and
And thereby hangs a tale. . . .
But it is noteworthy that in The Merchant of Venice Launcelot Gobbo can mock his master, Shylock, only ineffectively, and then only on a class level. Shylock is vilified for being a hard master—but not to his face. Launcelot's only resource is flight, and the rear attack of helping Shylock's daughter to run off with a Christian.
For the comic element is in flight from Shylock, and the Merchant degenerates into a melodrama. Shylock cannot be faced on equal intellectual and moral terms. He can be hurt and subdued through force and chicanery, but not fundamentally converted, as Jaques and Lear were.
Nor is the failure of the play to be ascribed to Shylock's seriousness, or even to the distraction offered by the presence of a tragic center rivaling the comic. Other Shakespearian plays, too, contain important characters who are more profound than the play as a whole. Both Falstaff and Malvolio play roles somewhat similar to Shylock's. They, too, are butts; they, too, are rascals; they, too, win our sympathy by their falls from influence and authority, far disproportionate to their failings—but Falstaff and Malvolio help Henry IV and Twelfth Night to the realization of their comic intentions, as the pathetic elements in Charlie Chaplin and Sholom Aleichem join the humorous to produce a catharsis that may be termed comic. But Shylock prevents the fulfillment of The Merchant of Venice.
The reason for the failure of the play is more fundamental even than Shylock's individual recalcitrance. It rests in the fact that Malvolio and Falstaff are natural types, the Fat Rascal and the Lean Hypocrite; they are sublimated extracts of identifiable humanity. But Shylock is no such unlimited natural figment; he is historically, temporally determined, and the imagination of the poet and the theater cannot compass him. Shakespeare could not and did not want to concentrate on the artistically difficult Jew. But his growing genius sometimes ran away with his intuitive sense of the limitations of art, and in this case he almost wrote another play—called, let us say, "The Moneylender of Venice"—instead of the play we know.
The problem Shakespeare faced was insurmountable. To fit Shylock into his play, Shakespeare had to dehistoricize him—that is, he had to universalize the pattern of the Jew current in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. On the surface this was not hard; he could, as he did, follow the simple expedient of employing two natural images that came easily to hand: Devil and Dog. These were abstractions so popular that even Shylock could use them in speaking of himself without seeming to do violence to his individuality. Like all of Shakespeare's leitmotifs they are also deeply apt—but in this case they are not comprehensive enough. For they are static expressions, too simple to describe a non-categorizable historical force such as the Jew, whose intricacy Shakespeare was forced by his own subtlety to recognize—which recognition disturbed the harmony of his comic concept. For Shylock's ultimate non-convertibility (one senses that he will turn marrano) is in direct contradiction to Shakespeare's comic catharsis. The audience is moved from revulsion to pity, but the experience is not traumatic, is not shocking, for it takes place on one level. There is no final insight into the meaning of human change, because there is no growth in Shylock, no vision of "green fields."
Dogs are commonly regarded as the cleverest of domestic animals. They perform useful functions as watchdogs and hunters, and frequently become very friendly. But, domesticated, they are under—the—table scavengers. Their instinctive nature carries them back to the cowardly, gregarious wolvesthey are not to be trusted.
To medieval man, the Jew was such a dog. He was smart, and quickly absorbed new habits and adopted new masters. He willingly served as financial and commercial watchdog and hunter, a function no respectable Christian allowed himself because of the Church's taboo against the collection of interest. (In Moslem states the taboo was disregarded, just as the Mosaic and Talmudic taboo had fallen to disuse among the Jews.) Moneylending was a necessity for the Jew; his stay in Venice was dependent on his operation of public banks. The free banks, established at the instigation of the anti-Semitic Franciscans, proved failures.
But the Jew was, at bottom, not to be trusted. He was obdurately clannish—a lupine characteristic. There was a sterile masochistic contempt in his deliberate submissiveness. He could be owned, but not possessed. Some strange ancestral pride kept him aloof.
To the medieval mind, the Jew was a devil as well. He was devilishly shrewd, for one thing. There was no arguing with him; he could quote Scripture for his purpose, as Shylock does when he traces Jacob's slyness to superior acquaintance with the laws of nature. It was a source of gratification to Christians to be able to throw the Jew's own Daniel back in his face, for in official disputations the inevitable justification of Christianity was never the outcome of superior argument.
The Jew was often accused of aligning himself with the heretical Christian movements. During the 16th century, the blood accusations against the Jews initiated by the Catholic Church were a tactical attack, be—cause of Jewish implication in the Protestant Reformation.1 In a sense, the trial scene in the Merchant is a reflection both of the pattern of blood—accusation trials and of the real issues behind them. It is more than fortuitous, almost symbolical, that Portia's conflict with Shylock should revolve around interpretations of the relationship of blood to flesh—i.e., the body of Jesus to the spirit of the Christ. Jews were denounced for inciting the conspiracy to take Christ out of Christianity. The Church was particularly sensitive about the large measure of idolatry and Manicheanism which it had absorbed, and which medieval Judaism self-righteously detested. The Jewish tradition of universal (lay) participation in religious ceremony, and, even worse, universal study of the body of the Torah, was viewed as a danger—and was. A medieval Church, founded on the delegation of religious authority and the solidarity of hierarchy, could not tolerate the disintegrating presence of a tradition of individual conscience.
An example of the perspicacity of the Church in this respect occurred during Shakespeare's own lifetime. When Simon Budny, a Polish Arian, translated the Bible into Polish in 1573, he worked directly from the Hebrew text for the Jewish Testament, and, under the same influence, produced a very critical translation of the New Testament. The name of Budny's Jewish teacher was known, as well as the influence of Italian Jewish rabbis upon Johannes Reuchlin, the German Reformation leader. The Church rightly feared and attacked the opening of access to the tradition behind Jesus. Shylock's "Hath not a Jew" speech is Shakespeare's appreciation of the Jew's consciousness of the doctrine of individual conscience—a doctrine that radically challenged the foundations of ecclesiastical uniformity.
Socially as well as religiously, the Jew was anti-Christ in the most essential sense, because he was nearest to Jesus, and, by his very existence, was a protest against the assimilation of Jesus into Christ. And, paradoxically, the Church could not completely exterminate this troublesome body, though it did not hesitate to declare war to the death upon Arians, Manicheans, and other Christian heretics. For the Jews were a living example of an ideal religious body, one in which the scales of faith and works were balanced. The disciples of Pelagius and Augustine were at odds within the Church during the Middle Ages, and the existence of the Jews was a stabilizing reminder that only a Church practicing both faith and works could endure. "By our holy Sabbath!" swears Shylock. This is not an authentic Jewish oath—but it is an amazing perception of Judaism. The Jew takes his oath on his institutions—a remarkable amalgamation of beliefs and practice!
The Jew was a devil for still another reason. Mephisto—like, the Jew came to the new Faust-man of the Renaissance, weary of the monastic library, and made him the classic offer of power through knowledge. The Jews had always been concerned with the basic sciences—the knowledge of self, anatomy, philosophy, and medicine, in which departments they were masters. The Jew—devil was pressing Faustus to bum again the topless towers of Ilium—Rome, offering in return the science and art of antiquity, in which he had never given up his share. "Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint"—it was the true Church that the "constantly denying spirit" was urging Renaissance man to repudiate.
Thus, economically, spiritually, socially, intellectually, in the medieval ideology which Shakespeare accepts in the Merchant, the Jew was a negatively polarized figure that threatened the positive pole of monolithic Christian feudalism, but without whom that same society would have been demagnetized. For the Jews were an element looking both ways—back to antiquity and forward to capitalism—whose ambiguous presence quickened medieval life.
In the evolving Renaissance, Cecil Roth writes, the Jews were to encounter, besides "widespread scepticism and cultural eclecticism, an undercurrent of sincere and sometimes fanatical religiosity." They would remain devil and dog, to this very day.
Our modem mythology has changed the images, but our attitude remains pretty much the same. The modem euphemism for dog is parasite, for devil, scapegoat. There is common recognition that these symbols are insulting, but not that they are inaccurate. Philo-Semitism is based on a need to defend the Jewish middle-class position in society by playing it down, through "objective" surveys, interfaith comings-together, attempts at finding syncretizations on the ideological levelall those activities that Maurice Spector calls "the taming of the Gentile." (No need is felt to defend the middle-class status of non-Jews.)
On the other hand, Jewish nationalism repudiates Jewish supra-nationalism, and the unhealthy middle position of the Jew in Galut, in favor of a return to a new idealistic secularism. However they may differ in analyzing the Jewish fate, philo-Semites and nationalists agree on one point: the classic Jewish role of dog and devil, social middleman and intellectual midwife, is played out.
But "The Moneylender of Venice," that unwritten play whose fragments lie in The Merchant of Venice, is concerned not with solving but with probing into the problematic relationship of the Jew to society. Shakespeare does more than vilify Shylock, and more than ennoble him (either would have been a bland categorization); he gives the gabardined Jew in this early play a fourth dimension such as only his later great tragic characters possess—and with a difference. It is the dimension of self-awareness, which, perhaps as much as ambiguous "sufferance," is "the badge of all our tribe."
It is not only the surface knowledge of election, the assumption of relative suffering for the sake of absolute salvation—it is the hourly, momentary recognition that, while humiliation is unavoidable, if necessary, the certain Messiah is not to be pressed, "though he delay."2 It is the ability to abstract a new dimension, which Einstein has not been the only Jew to possess. In earliest Jewish history, Moses abstracted Jahveh from the desert of Sinai, and the Prophets abstracted him from the Jewish nation. And in modern times, Freud abstracted theunconscious from the psyche, Heine cosmopolitanism from the French Revolution, Kafka the Castle from K., Chagall the flying goat from the village, Rabbi Nahman Bratzlaver the saint from man, Trotsky the Revolution from Russia, Proust memory from existence.
For the theme of the unwritten "Moneylender of Venice" is not the same as the theme of The Merchant of Venice. It is not the victory of emotion over intelligence, New Testament mercy over Old Testament justice, the woman Portia over castrated Shylock. It is, rather, a theme that is hinted at in the recurrent philosophic image, as distinguished from the moralistic harangue, that runs through both plays—the image of contradictions. On the simplest level, it is the three caskets, whose gold, silver, and lead exteriors mask their contents. On another level it is:
So may the outward shows be least themselves:
The world is still deceived with ornament. . . .
There is no vice so simple, but assumes
Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.
And on the third, the inner level, it is the confusion between pity and revulsion at the much reviled, sometimes pitied, never comprehended Jew. We are closest to Jessica, who runs off with her father's ducats and, for a monkey, gives away her father's turquoise, which (strange tenderness!) "I had of Leah when I was a bachelor." While we deplore her confusion, we can see her life at home, sober and self-castigating in the innermost circle of hell for youth, the tedious coldness. And we are most conscious of our modern identification with the weak child when she expresses her self-insight:
Alack, what heinous sin is it in me
To be ashamed to be my father's child
But though I am a daughter to his blood,
I am not to his manners. . . .
The "manners" that Jessica is revolting against consist in the absence of manner, the sole concentration on matter, which is the world outlook of the fundamentalist whom Shakespeare so persistently lambasts in his plays. It is the new manner of the introspective individual, the self-concerned family, the destiny—conscious tribe, of the nascent middle class, that same middle class which title—seeking Shakespeare abhorred in the person of the Puritan, and which was to supply the seed for the new economicpsychological anti-Semitism.
And yet this vice of Shylock's, this godawful and literally goddamned straitness, has other, obverse faces. They are not to be masked by all the merriment of Venetian festivals that he denied himself and that could abduct an ashamed child. And they are not to be wiped away by the pretty wit of a woman, twisting law against him in the fashion of that Talmud whose study was forbidden him; no, not by the massive state itself, which was liberal enough to fine him his religion in the spirit of Christian charity.
One of Shylock's unmasked faces is the face of a compassion that his daughter and her lover never dream of when they talk sentimentally of "Dido with a willow in her hand upon the wild sea banks. . . ."
Another is the face of an agony that weighs down every other character, making what Antonio declaims slander and Portia's "merciful rain" Sunday School patter.
The last is the face of humiliated love crying, "Jessica, Jessica!" And the slow reply of the superior man to his humiliators: "I am content."
Early in the Passover Haggadah we encounter a comment on the nature of the Jews' status in Pharaonic Egypt: they came as gerim, to "sojourn" and not to settle.
It does not matter whether this interpretation is historically correct, or whether it is one of many glosses inserted to counteract possible antagonism in illiberal Alexandria of the 2nd century against what might easily have been construed as an anti-Egyptian feast. We are not primarily interested in ritual murder accusations. (We have already alluded to the oblique reference in Shylock's trial to a typical Jewish blood accusation case during the Middle Ages.)
What is significant for us now is how the Jews have regarded themselves and been regarded by their neighbors, and why a great poetic genius could glimpse but not enclose them in his art. Perhaps the classical concept of the ger, or sojourner, will help.
The ger belonged to "a class of men who were personally free but had no political rights . . the protected strangers."3 Although there are frequent references to gerim in the Jewish Testament, it was only after the destruction of the Temple that the Jews saw themselves in that very status. They wished to keep a semi-independent position in respect to religion and society (the two went together); that is, the post-Exilic Jews aimed at keeping their Palestinian citizenship, so to speak, or, more accurately, their citizenship in a religion and society whose cult centered in Palestine, but which might be practiced, though incompletely, outside of the Land. They felt themselves to be really citizens of Judaism from birth, not citizens of Babylonia or Rome or Spain—and were regarded as such.
It is at this point that our tangent touches "The Moneylender of Venice." Why did Shylock's complexity trouble Shakespeare? Not because he is too deep, but because he is too many things at once; not that he is an impossible character—but that there are too many elements in him, and they do not cohere.
The proof lies in Othello, where we find Shylock's characteristics divided between two characters, each of whom is satisfactory as a unit. Othello himself is very like Shylock in many ways: the alien, the stranger, the victim of xenophobia, the powerful passionate nature ruined because of his differentness—no motive but personal uneasiness toward Othello can account for Iago's actions.
Iago is the devilish, the shrewd, the revengeful, the unpardonable part of Shylock. Yet, where The Merchant of Venice fails, Othello is a success—the alien is real, the devil is real—and the tragedy is real.
For in Othello the alien and the devil are separate. The alien is strange, indeed, but he is no Jewish bogey—man—Othello is too strange for that; he is always an overwhelming curiosity, and somehow defenseless at the same time, his real home being elsewhere.
But Shylock is a resident alien, in Venice but not of it—a walking memorial of Jerusalem and the Holy Sabbath.
Iago is a tolerable devil, genuine but native—born, the worst of Italy's citizens. His speech is at home in the play and in the poet's mind, quick and supple and cynical, vital and amusing: "To suckle fools and chronicle small beer."
Iago is malicious and whole. There is none of the Jewish defensiveness about him; he will not even seem to be converted. He will have no part of the world he detests. Perhaps it is because he was incorrigible that it was obvious to Shakespeare that Iago had to succeed, while Shylock, whose deviltry was only circumstantial (he possessed no natural cloven foot, like Iago), could be overcome. As a result, Iago is expressed and Shylock repressed—and that makes all the difference in the art. "No man is poor save in wit," says the Haggadah. The poet described Shylock's wealth of self-consciousness, but he could not circumscribe the Jew as a whole.
For Shylock does not categorize easily. The moneylender of Venice refused to conform even to the roomy confines of Shakespeare's drama. Shylock is on our shelves, but he overflows them.

Guide your mom with an aftermarket navigation unit
It would be nice if we could afford to buy our mothers a brand new car with built in navigation but for a majority of us, it's out of our budget. Luckily, there are still plenty of aftermarket navigation units that fit in any car. This method of getting navigation into your mother's car actually has its advantages like easier software updates and the ease of replacement if the unit fails. Let's take a look at a couple of the best aftermarket navigation solutions available today.
With the surge in smartphone sales, many were predicting the death of the portable navigation device. Stocks for Garmin and TomTom fell dramatically in 2009 after Google announced its free turn by turn navigation software for their Android smartphone users. Fortunately, Garmin has not been resting on its laurels and introduced the Garmin Nuvi 3790T, which is possibly the best stand-alone nav device on the market. The Nuvi 3790T has enough features to make your smartphone jealous with its spacious 4.3″ capacitive touch screen for quick touch response, accelerometer, and voice controls. The 3790T is constantly listening for commands and will throw up expected responses on the screen. It also pairs with a phone using Bluetooth and displays the caller ID on the screen.
If your mom doesn't have an smartphone already, you could buy her an Android phone that has built in turn-by-turn navigation or if she has an iPhone, you could buy her an iTunes gift card so she can buy the Navigon app. Although Garmin and TomTom both have applications for the iPhone, I found the Navigon app to be the most polished and easiest to use. It easily looks up points of interest based on categories, has an add-on for live traffic, and has a very slick and unobtrusive driving heads up display (HUD). The voice for the Navigon app also doesn't sound like a robot that's out for your blood, which is a nice touch. There are also add-ons to add Zagat reviews and radar warnings. The only major short coming is that this app does not support voice commands, making it extremely difficult to use while underway.
While I've only covered two aftermarket navigation solutions out there, there are many more. In the era of internet connected devices and GPS, there's no reason your mom should get lost. Show your mom how much you care this Mother's Day with an aftermarket navigation solution.

New TV station on Freeview aims to cover North Lincolnshire
Posted: November 28, 2012|
A new local TV channel is expected to be available across North Lincolnshire from next autumn.
Channel 7's Lincolnshire Living pledges to offer "a new era for local television" on Freeview Channel 8 (from September 2013) and on Virgin Media 879.
It will reach homes in northern Lincolnshire, including Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Cleethorpes.
The new local TV channel will be one of a group of 20 around the UK, including Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle and Manchester.
A presentation about the new channel was delivered to members of the Brigg Town Business Partnership by executive producer Lia Nici.
The new channel, based in Grimsby, will broadcast to the local public from the Belmont transmitter near Louth and could reach as far north as Driffield.
It aims to make and commission new and exciting programming that people will want to watch and with which they will wish to interact.
Grimsby and Brighton have been granted the first two local TV licences, created as part of a project championed by former culture secretary Jeremy Hunt.

Beach Breakfast on the grill
Inspired by Ina Garten, who did an outdoor birthday breakfast on the grill - I would like to do a similar thing this weekend on the beach. Here is the menu I have in mind:
Breakfast Burritos - scrambled eggs done in pan on grill, tortillas warmed on grill, plus cheese, and guac and beans done ahead of time
Pioneer Woman's stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon - make before heading to beach, keep warm on grill or at room temp
Beer Bread Cinnamon Rolls - Bake before heading to beach, warm on grill - I am worried about them getting soggy
Smoked Salmon and Bagels - bagels toasted on grill
Any pitfalls?
Also, inviting 30 people, so trying to figure out how much to buy. I'm thinking 3 dozen eggs, 1 dozen jalapenos to split in half for a total of 24 stuffed peppers. Make 2 dozen mini cinnamon rolls. 1 package of salmon and 1 dozen bagels.
((I don't think all 30 will be in attendance.))
Thanks all!
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

I get a lot of questions about polls – which are the "good" ones, which are biased, etc. But I get more questions about Gallup than an other polling outfit. Which is why it was fascinating to stumble across this 2004 article that covers all the Gallupfreude – from allegations of partisan bias among the organization's leaders, to questions about their methodology and sampling.
The one thing missing in this piece is a discussion of Gallup's potential racial sampling error, which is well covered in this piece by Sydney Blumenthal and rebutted by the Weekly Standard here.
A clip from the archives:
Connoisseurs of polling – a group that includes this newsletter – have been confused by the presidential preference polls of the last few months. Some are portraying a tight race, and others a Bush runaway. Some of the strangest numbers have been coming out of our most famous pollster, Gallup. Recall that Gallup reported a one-point decline in Kerry's popularity after the Democratic convention – a departure from historical precedent, since candidates usually have gotten, according to Gallup, an average of a six–point bounce after their nominating conventions. By contrast, Bush got a more normal bounce; the Gallup poll released right after the convention showed him gaining two points, widening his lead over Kerry to seven. That lead widened over the next few weeks to a peak of thirteen points in mid-September, which fell back to a mere eight at month's end.
Other pollsters have reported a solid Bush lead in recent weeks (though not all – the IBD/TIPP poll has the race as a dead heat). But Gallup was out in front in both speed in size, and their polls showing Kerry's negative bounce followed by Bush's extended surge have contributed mightily to a sense that Bush is now the favorite by a fairly wide margin on November 2. Gallup has also been fairly consistently reporting higher approval ratings for Bush than other pollsters over the last year or two.
What's going on? One clue can be found in looking at their reported party breakdown. In their late-September poll, they have 43% of repondents identifying as Republicans, and 31% as Democrats. We've never seen anything like a twelve-point Republican lead anywhere else before. A July New York Times/CBS poll reported the breakdown as 37% Democrat and 29% Republican, an eight-point Dem advantage. The exit polls in both the 2000 and 1996 elections reported the breakdown as 39% Democrat and 35% Republican, a four-point Dem advantage. (Independents were 25% of the Gallup universe, 30% of the Times/CBS universe, and 27% of the 2000 election's.) Party affiliations change over time, for sure, but a sixteen- or twenty-point shift seems highly unlikely over the course of four years, much less two months.
Gallup provides a breakdown of preference by partisan self-identification (see table below). If you rerun their numbers using the Times/CBS party ID weights, you get a ten-point Kerry lead; if you rerun them using the exit poll weights from the last two presidential elections, you get a six-point Kerry lead. Most pollsters object to weighting raw results by party, since partisan identification is unstable over time, and is a reflection of opinion and not a demographic category. True enough, but if you get party IDs so at odds with other renditions of reality, then you should suspect something's wrong with your techniques.
What could be wrong? There may be some mischief hidden in Gallup's "likely voter" filters – a series of questions about voting history, knowledge of the polling place, and intention designed to strip out the stay-at-homes from the polling results. (Other polls report the preferences of registered voters or even all adults.) While it may be reasonable to narrow the universe to likely voters in the days before an election, it may not be so sensible a month or two before, when people just haven't firmed up their intentions yet. And it may not even be reasonable in the final pre-election polls: a review of the last four elections by Ruy Teixeira shows that Gallup's estimates for all registered voters were actually more accurate than those for likely voters in three of the cases.
Likely voter filters may be especially inappropriate this year, with record registrations of new black voters, intense motivation among Bush haters to send him back to the hellish climes of Crawford, and uncommon interest expressed by young voters, who are often discarded in likely voter models. …
Sound familiar? It's like déjà vu all over again! To get the links in the article and read the rest, including an accusation that the big cheeses at Gallup are "all Republicans," with one even a donor to the flameout Senate candidacy of one Herman Cain — you can't make this stuff up — click here.
And of course, not to be missed is Nate Silver's great post on calculating pollster 'house effects'. (Though I wonder if Silver should re-run his data In the wake of that very hinky Pew poll…)
And if you want to understand Gallup's world, check out the demographic breakdown of their likely voter screen. It tells you a lot, because almost no one believes that we had a 78 percent voting base in 2008, or that we will again.
UPDATE: Sully weighs in.

We have seen a lot of concepts for the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and even the budget iPhone, but when I saw this concept by the Gadget Magazine T3, I knew I had to share it with you guys.
Essentially the concept shows off an iPhone 5 that has been blown up to look like it has a 5.7-inch display. Besides the thinner bezels, it's almost identical to the current iPhone 5 design in every way.
According to the concept the "iPhone 5.7″ has an 1920×108 Retina display at 386 PPI. This means there is 100% more physical screen area than the iPhone 5 and 18.5% more pixels. As for what's powering this phablet, the concept notes it's a quad-core A7 processor.
Besides that not much else is shared about the actual specs of the handet. Although it is unlikely Apple will release an "iPhone 5.7″ anytime soon, I don't think the Fruit Company will be able to ignore the demand for such a handset forever.
Be sure to let us know what you think of the concept in the comments section below.

Citroen GT production plans dropped - rumors
Will live on in our hearts
According to a recent report, the GTbyCitroen will not be headed for production.
While this is sad news, the car was never officially green-lighted. Back in 2008, PSA's chief designer, Jean-Pierre Ploué, hinted the concept could be produced but plans have apparently changed.
According to Caradisiac, Citroen decided the limited production run of six units wouldn't be worth the engineering and developments costs to bring the GT to market. Instead, the company will focus on sporty small cars like the DS3 Racing.
As you may recall, the GTbyCitroen concept originally debuted at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The company never released detailed specifications, but the production model was expected to use an American V8 from Ford or GM.

I wish I knew more bout citron. Not popular in US. They don't sell them here.

Agreed that it is not logical to bring the GT to (extremely limited) production, it would have been Citroen's golden ticket to the supercar world. Now, hope that the chevron will consider the survolt for production.
Jul 8th, 2010 11:48am
Whilst this is bitterly, bitterly disappointing, I kind of like that it won't exist. In GT5P, it's powered by 4 hydrogen motors producing something like 789bhp. I think using a combustion engine would've spoilt it somehow. It would change the futuristic supercar with it's massive electric surge into merely another flavour-of-the-month fancy design wrapped around an American engine, like the Bertone Mantide or Devon GTX. Only this'd get it's own chassis. I'll miss it. Right up until I get GT5. Or a scale model.

I think it looks lovely!!! way different looking,..and its way ahead of its time. they put it on the streets of England,..there a video clip on youtube. Its sad we wont see it, not that i could ever afford the price tag:(

Looks like a 90s supercar.
Jul 8th, 2010 12:35am
why? it's an outstanding car. Some people like it, 'cause it isn't so typically designed like all other vehicles in this class. Maybe Citroen don't sell so many units of C6, but it whould be sad to end this production or change it to an ordinary car. The GT is lovely. To bad they don't want to use it as a prestige electrical sportscar

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, July 1992, pages 88-89
AIPAC IN ACTION: An Attack on the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
(as printed in the May 11, 1992 issue of AIPAC's Near East Report)
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, as revealed in the article by its former "opposition researcher," Gregory Slabodkin, does most of its blacklisting of Jewish and non-Jewish critics of Israel out of sight. Its files on political leaders, journalists and other public figures are compiled in secret, kept under lock and key in the office of AIPAC Deputy Director of Research and Information Michael Lewis, and released, on a "not for attribution" basis, to trusted agents for use in smear campaigns, Slabodkin reports.
Lewis's secret "Opposition Research" section within AIPAC, recently euphemistically renamed "Policy Analysis," also distributes a monthly publication, Activities, to a select list of 400 AIPAC officers and board members and to leaders of other national Jewish organizations. AIPAC employees are forbidden to carry a copy of Activities out of the AIPAC offices, or mention its existence to anyone, even members of their families, Slabodkin reports.
Nevertheless, an example of Lewis's work was published in the May 11, 1992 issue of the Near East Report. It summarizes material he presented orally the previous month at the annual AIPAC convention in Washington, DC. His presentation took place at a workshop on "Anti-Israel Activities in the U.S." chaired by AIPAC Vice President Amy Friedkin and restricted to invited AIPAC activists, and to Jewish journalists or representatives of selected Jewish publications. At that session, Lewis told attendees that American "Arabists" now have become a major problem for Israel in the United States. Lest there be any doubt as to the identity of some of these Arabists, attendees were shown copies of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Its publisher, Ambassador Andrew I. Killgore, is a retired State Department "Arabist" and its executive editor, Richard Curtiss, is a retired U.S. Information Agency "Arabist."
Above right is a verbatim reprint of Mr. Lewis's entire article on the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. It is surprising not for the space devoted to extracts from AIPAC's super-secret blacklist, but for its lack of professionalism. The quotations are presented not merely out of context. They are simply inaccurate. If material like this is par for the course in Near East Report, with a claimed circulation of more than 40,000, what's the level of accuracy in Activities, with only 400 readers—all of them friends of AIPAC?
While we try to find out, here is Mr. Lewis' article, headlined "The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs," and nine footnotes of our own.
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs footnotes:
1. The magazine's article on the subject, by former Congressman Paul Findley, did not cite Mossad as a "prime suspect" in the Kennedy assassination. Instead it noted the readiness of American audiences to accept the thesis of the Oliver Stone film that the assassination was the result of a plot by America's CIA, while no one in the media had ever seriously advanced the more likely possibility that it might have been the result of a plot by the Mossad, Israel's equivalent of the CIA.
2. Although the title is flattering, Mr. Curtiss was not USAI "chief," but rather the USIA's chief inspector, reporting to the USIA director, a presidential appointee.
3. The two served among a dozen others on CNI's first board of directors for six months, starting in October 1989.
4. The Curtiss article from which the cited media quotations were drawn specifically said "that's not a media conspiracy," but rather a matter of each journalist personally "doing his bit for Israel."
5. The actual quotation from which AIPAC's distorted version was drawn: "All 'leading economic indicators' are up but one. It's called the 'consumer confidence index.' I suspect not one in a hundred Americans had ever heard of it until after pro-Israel American journalists lost confidence that Israel was going to get its loan guarantees from the United States without someone blackmailing the president."
6. The actual quotation from which this distorted AIPAC version was drawn read in full: "Those hundreds of unseen hands in the U.S. media are hard at work to fulfill the desperate hope of Israel's Likud leaders that, by bringing down their own government, holding elections, and then taking their time about organizing a new Israeli government they can stall on peace negotiations, stall on freezing settlements and stall on trading land for peace until President Bush is beaten at the polls next November, like President Carter in 1980."
The distortion makes it appear that the author has said that American Jewish journalists are trying to bring down the U.S. government rather than the correct version that Likud leaders brought down their own (Israel's) government. This is a particularly crude attempt to make a factual statement into a seemingly "anti-Semitic" remark.
The distortions continue but these citations make the point that in its article on the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, the Near East Report literally stood truth on its head, making no serious attempt to get the quotations right either in letter or in spirit, much less in context.
7. Both Killgore and Curtiss have spoken hundreds of times to membership groups, seminars and on radio and TV talk shows. The reference to one of those audiences as an "anti-Semitic" organization smacks of McCarthy-era "guilt by association."
8. As the former president of another Arab-American organization puts it, tongue in cheek, "AIPAC is accusing Killgore and Curtiss of associating with 'known Arab-Americans.'"
The Curtiss article, "Cutting Bush Down to Size: How Israel Gets Its Way in the U.S. Media," from which AIPAC's Lewis drew some of his inaccurate media citations, ends with a quotation from Abraham Lincoln too well known to be distorted, even by AIPAC: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
Perhaps its clumsy public attempt to discredit the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, indicates that a Lincolnesque moment of truth has arrived for AIPAC, the unregistered lobby for a foreign power that for so long has fooled the American people with its stealth files and secret slanders.
