Most of components of the Twin Bucket Emergency Toilet can be found in a typical household or be obtained free or at low cost in most neighborhoods. The heart of this system is plastic containers, such as those used in the food industry. Since Federal regulations prohibit the commercial reuse of plastic buckets and barrels for food, containers are sold cheaply for other uses or simply dumped into land fills.
Think containers! For emergency systems every size is useful. Three and four gallon buckets usually discarded by bakeries come with good lids and work for the twin toilet, particularly for kids. You can store water and carbon material in square receptacles. The Tap Up handwashing apparatus can be fashioned from smaller buckets. Large 55-gallon barrels in which food is transported are excellent for rainwater harvesting and long term composting. Wheeled recycling barrels can be used for both storage and transport. So keep your eyes open for plastic containers and collect and store as many as you can.
Other items for readiness. Disposable plastic gloves, hand sanitizer, remoistened wipes, toilet paper, and print copies of Twin Bucket Emergency Toilet leaflet and A Sewer Catastrophe Companion. Depending on your situation you may fashion a dedicated sanitation kit, integrate sanitation supplies in a general kit, or simply rotate household supplies, ensuring you have sufficient reserves for an extended emergency.
Please note! Vendors are listed below but that does not mean we've tested and endorse. Most suppliers of emergency toilets and components mistakenly assume that users have disposal options. A Cascadia Subduction Zone quake is likely to destroy piped systems so plan accordingly to use dual containers to separate pee and poo.
Supplies for the Twin Bucket Emergency Toilet
Buckets: Buckets in various colors with lids that fit can be ordered here.
Lids: You need lids. A lid with a spout is useful for pouring urine. Many lids are not reusable but U.S. Plastics "Saver" and "Gamma" lids are. You can also buckets with lids.
Seats: Plastic seats need to be purchased unless you fit standard toilet seats to containers.Plastic toilet seats generally fit cylindrical buckets ranging from 3 to 7 gallons. Get them at emergency suppliers (The Preparedness Center, QuakeKare, Emergency Essentials, etc), at camping stores (Andy and Bax, REI, Cabela's,Gander Mtn, etc) or from Amazon.com. The Preparedness Center offers a flexible seat as part of a bucket toilet. While you can remove the toilet seat from your bathroom toilet and duct tape it on a bucket, it's best to have a seat which you can easily shift from bucket to bucket.
Bucket toilets: Emergency Essentials and Tote-able offer bucket toilets with snap-on seat and seat cover for about $15. Add found buckets to separate pee and poo and move the seat from one to another.
Carbon substrate to compost poo: Ask your local lumberyard for sawdust and the coffee roaster for coffee husks. Save bags of shredded paper. If you don't have a much space, buy wood pellets or coconut coir fiber bricks as these expand when a small amount of water is added. (Add 1.25 liters of water to a brick-sized coir brick to yields 8 or 9 liters of friable carbon coverning material.) Many options are available on Amazon.com. Check out this 250 gram coir fiber brick for $1.13 and 40-lb bag of wood pellets for $5.99
Make a kit? For about $40 you can get everything required for a nested bucket sanitation kit that makes a fine and loving gift.
Other Toilet Products
Waterless urinals: These separate urine efficiently in communal situations. Falcon, Waterless, Sloan and others carry them.
Personal funnels for females include the reusable GoGirl, Whiz Freedom, and the disposable P-Mate. Funnels can also be made from plastic bottles or by being creative with origami.
Air Head Composting Toilets are designed for use in boats and off-grid cabins, this is a small, well-designed, high-quality vented, urine diverting dry toilet. $995.
GreenFlush Restrooms is a Vancouver, Washington firm that manufactures attractive structures which harvest rainwater and reuse it to flush toilets.
More Emergency Sanitation How To
How to sandbag or seal a toilet: If a quake is followed by a tsunami and flooding, household toilets will likely overflow. A company in the UK that provides instant sandbags, which expand when wet, also carries toilet seals. Toilet seals prevent backflow. Here's how to sandbag a toilet to keep a toilet from backing up in a flood.
How to build the Loveable Loo: Video shows construction and use of Loveable Loo 2.0 available here assembled ($225) or in kit form ($160); extra buckets and liners extra. (Loveable 1.0 vid is more fun.)
DIY Composting Toilet Video 3:22 shows easy to make toilet using 55 gal drum.
How Christchurch coped. Makeshift Christchurch Toilets is a popular website shows that even at the worst of times a homemade toilet can bring comfort and be infused with whimsy. Pit latrines were dug in the beginning but given risk of groundwater contamination residents soon abandoned.
How Christchurch did it right. They came up with the Christchurch Twin Bucket system PHLUSH adopted, and developed sophisticated dry composting systems. See Compost Toilets for Resilience for how to, handbooks, and photos of folks at work.

Wayne D. Overholser (born September 4, 1906 in Pomeroy, Washington; † died August 27, 1996 in Boulder, Colorado), was an American Western writer. Overholser won the 1953 First Spur Award for best novel for Lawman using the pseudonym Lee Leighton. In 1955 he won the 1954 (second) Spur Award for The Violent Land. Three additional pseudonyms were John S. Daniels, Dan J. Stevens and Joseph Wayne.
Overholser had a number of pseudonyms, including Lee Leighton, John S. Daniels, Dan J. Stevens and Joseph Wayne, the last three combinations of his three sons' names. Wayne's father expected him to retrace his own steps through their Oregon barnyard, but the budding author had other goals in mind. He said, "It's a sad story. I think my dad didn't have the slightest idea where I came from or how I got into the family. I was a complete failure as a farmer and he didn't know what to do with me."
Later, Wayne didn't encourage nor discourage his own son, Steve, because full-time writing "is a precarious way to make a living."
Losing himself in books as a child, the elder Overholser enjoyed stories of King Arthur, Greek legends, Scottish chiefs, and the works of G.A, Henty. "I've always felt that there's a strong connection between the tales of King Arthur and Western stories of our time. And that may be one reason I liked to read and write Western stories."
As a member of his high school debating team, Wayne was interested in social and political problems, which he carried with him to the University of Oregon in Eugene, majoring in history with a minor in English. He then taught at the elementary level, gradually working his way up through the grades to high school, where he specialized in social studies.
The deep-voiced novelist remembered writing "some wild short stories" while a sophomore in high school. "At the time, the Ku Klux Klan was pretty notorious in Oregon, as they were in many other states. But the bloody story he envisioned never got past the title he wrote in pencil.
The novelist remembered his first short story sale in 1936. "That's one of the highest points in a writer's life. I was teaching junior high school in Tillamook, Oregon, and school had just started in September. I had a few stories back in New York with an agent but had never made a sale. Along about eleven o'clock, the school secretary came down the hall and tapped on the door of my classroom. She struck a check under my nose for $13.50, with a note from my agent that said, 'You are now an author.'"
His agent, who doubled as a writing coach, asked his clients for six to eight story outlines, one of which he selected for them to write. "I think he made more money out of the class he ran than from sales, but he remained in business for a good many years. So maybe he was a good agent, although I didn't stay with him long."
Wayne's long-term association with literary agent, Gus Lenninger, was a happy and profitable one. The novelist sold a hundred books over 38 years. He had also written hundreds of short stories and novelettes before the short story market dried up. Books were then a pulp writer's salvation. Disillusionment with the school district's pay scale motivated him to quit his teaching job to write full-time after ten years of part-time writing. The multi-Spur-award winner recalled being "looked down on, particularly by the English teachers, because pulp writing was not considered a very big thing."
The move from Oregon to Colorado was an important one for the Overholsers, although risky at best. The writer moved his wife and two small sons to the Village of Montrose, later buying a home in Boulder, where a group of writers lived. It was there his career as a novelist was established. "At that time, we didn't know what a chance we were taking, but any writer's life is filled with gambles. I look back and wonder how I ever had the guts to leave a teaching job in Oregon to move to Colorado, where we knew nobody, to start writing without a friend in the whole state."
His prolific writing stopped in 1983, when his eyesight began to fail and his Westerns no longer sold. "The combination of the two stopped me dead," but he admitted that if market conditions and his eyesight improved he would have liked to have another "crack at the Western market." During his declining years, he wrote sporadic bursts of poetry. And a number of his books were purchased by PaperJacks for reprints.
Wayne D. Overholser took pride in his three sons. "Steve is a better writer than I ever was," he said, but his second son protested.

CANTON - The Potsdam Central varsity baseball team broke open a close game with one scoring surge then put it out of reach with a second in pulling away to a 13-1 win over Canton Central in the NAC Central Division season debut for both squads at the SUNY Canton diamond on Wednesday.
Ben Miller pitched five strong innings for the win, striking out six while allowing one run and scattering three hits as the Sandstoners turned a 1-0 deficit after four innings into a 6-1 lead in the fifth before putting together a seven-run barrage in the sixth. Will Coleman provided two innings of scoreless relief where he fanned five of the batters he faced.
Alex Hayes (2K, 4BB) pitched a shutout through four innings before being relieved in the sixth after allowing eight runs in taking the loss. Jake Corbine and Avery Slack each provided an inning of relief.
Shawn Clark led the way offensively for Potsdam with three hits, including a double and a three-run homerun that keyed the decisive fifth-inning scoring surge. Coleman singled, doubled, drove in two runs and scored twice. Trevor Keleher and Andrew Ace both had two hits and drove in a pair of runs.
Mike Cougler singled home Slack in the bottom of the second inning for the only run of the game through the first four innings. Bryant Wentworth and Hayes singled to account for the other Canton hits.
The Sandstoners are slated to host Massena next Tuesday starting at 4:30 p.m. while Canton is scheduled to play at Massena on Friday at 4:30 p.m.
The other NAC baseball action on Wednesday took place in the West Division where Hammond outlasted Lisbon 5-4 while Heuvelton overwhelmed Hermon-DeKalb 22-0. Massena at Franklin Academy, OFA at Gouverneur and a double-header between Parishville-Hopkinton and Brushton-Moira were all postponed.
The Massena Central varsity softball team opened the NAC Central Division season with a 12-1 loss to Franklin Academy on Wednesday.
Annie Sharlow pitched the win, striking out six and walking two while scattering two hits through six innings as the Lady Huskies gradually pulled away from a 3-0 first-inning lead. Alyssa McCauley pitched an inning of scoreless relief.
Making her varsity debut, sophomore Vanessa Kirkey had two strikeouts and walked nine in taking the complete-game loss.
Whitney Legacy sparked the FA offense with a triple, double and two runs scored. Janel Heden singled, doubled and scored a pair of runs while Sharlow aided her cause with two hits and two runs scored.
Mackenzie Young drilled an RBI-double that plated Kaliegh Zappia with the lone Massena run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Chelsea Streeter singled to account for the lone other hit.
Guided by first-year year varsity coach Sue Macaulay, the Lady Raiders will look to get on track on Friday with a scheduled game at Canton starting at 4:30 p.m.
In the other NAC softball action that survived continued cold and damp spring weather on Wednesday, OFA gained a 10-0 Central Division win over Gouverneur while a pair of West Division matchup saw Heuvelton overpower Hermon-DeKalb 24-0 and Lisbon outscore Hammond 11-8.
OFA 10, Gouverneur 0: In Ogdensburg, senior righthander Brittany Barr allowed only one baserunner in pitching a no-hitter in her first start as the Blue Devils number one pitcher. Barr struck out five, handled five groundballs on the mound and retired 19 straight batters after a two-out walk in the first inning.
OFA struck for seven runs in the first two innings sparked by Jocelyn Fifield who singled in the first and second inning and went to score three times on the day.
Felicia Barr went 3-3 with a triple and two singles and Brittany Barr and Stacy Barr both singled twice. Riley Luckie, Shannon Tooley, Mollee Ahrens and Cheneye Tyo all stroked singles and Maddie Bresett added an RBI-groundout for the Devils, who host Salmon River in another Central Division contest on Friday.
The Wildcats noted a defensive highlight when catcher Jordan Lay tagged out two runners at the plate on the same play.

Because I knew that we were going trick or treating during my daughter's birthday party, I wanted to have some special treat bags for them to carry. I didn't want just plastic or paper bags…..although now that I'm thinking about it…..it would be just as fun for the kids to decorate paper sacks to use as their treat bags. And less work for you. But who wants less work? Ha! I seem to make things more complicated that they can be…..says my husband. It's simply that I like things to be just so.
So! We wanted treat bags for the party. After looking online, I couldn't find at the time a plain treat bag that I liked or that was the right size. Thus, I made them. A bunch of them.
Supplies you'll need are shown here. The bag…..if you can find it, certainly purchase them. Or make them and I explain how I made mine below. Having a smattering of randomly size and shape pieces pre-cut was helpful as all the kids had to do was to apply the faces to the bags with a fabric glue that I had poured out in a plate for all to share.
I turned this into a project to give the kids something to do as all the kids were arriving. This party was in our home and our living room turned into party central. And we had a tent. First stop was the living room where the kids made their own party bags. I had 3 tables set out with chairs and disposable table cloths that could be whipped up and thrown away for phase two of the party.
I'm sure there are 20 ways you could make this treat bag. This is only 1 way. I didn't do a very good job of photographing each step. You'll need to read the steps here and just use the images as overall reference. Felt was the easiest fabric to use as it holds it's shape pretty well and you don't have to sew under raw edges!!! For the handles I cut 2 strips 10″ long x 1″ wide for each bag. To give it a bit of a finished look, you can sew the two edges together longways leaving an 1″ or so on either end to connect to the bag. To me it make it look more like a "bag handle."
For the bag itself you'll need (2) pieces of felt 10″ x 8″ wide and (2) pieces 10″ x 4″ wide. May I repeat that there are many ways of skinning this cat and this is just my own twisted way of making these. My biggest goal is that I wanted to be boxy and I wanted to top stitch the edges. OK. First step is to make a box of sorts. The two wider pieces of felt are the front and back. The two smaller pieces are the sides. Start seaming or top-stitching a front to the side and then that side to the back. Seam that back to the second side and then complete the box by seaming the other side to the front panel. Now you have made a "box that could stand up but has no bottom yet. I started using a fancy stitch but it was taking too long and ended up just doing a top stitching seam.
Turn this "box" inside out and then fold the "box" flat matching the side seams. At this point the side panels will be folded in half and the front and back should be against each other. Seam across the bottom about 1/2″.
Now you'll want to make your corners. With the "box" still inside out, pull the bottom corners out to seam. Look at the "step 1" photo above to see how the corner should be pulled out and seam a triangle and cut off extra. If this is confusing to anyone, let me know and I'll try and explain better.
Turn right side out, attach the handles either by hand or seaming on your sewing machine. And you are done! Well, until the party. At the party, let the kids use the cut black felt pieces to use their imagination in creating their own pumpkin face!

There have been a lot of blogs, posts and chatter recently about choosing the best research methodology, whether for healthcare, consumer research or B2B projects. Sure you can begin with small focus groups or IDIs to discover, test and refine your research hypothesis or concepts. Once refined you can then proceed with quantitative validations and further zero in on your ultimate research objective. In an ideal world this makes sense and can be an effective holistic research path. Unfortunately, market research rarely resides in an ideal world – far from it! Timelines are daunting; research budgets can be difficult to pass, all while expectations keep getting loftier and the needs for insights greater.
The Research Dilemma – We get it!
Since we typically don't all have the luxury to execute extensive qualitative work, backed up by a large quantitative research study, we settle for one or the other. Or we sacrifice the number of interviews we can do or other pieces of the research. Sometimes, regrettably, we decide to do neither methodology and just "wing it". But it doesn't have to be that way. There are now ways to have your cake and eat it too! Carbonview has spent many years in this industry listening to you the researchers, planners, strategists and brand mangers and we have created solutions to match. Using available technologies it is possible to combine both the insights attained from qualitative studies with the speed and efficiency of quantitative research.
You've Asked for the 'Why' in Your Quantitative Research
As researchers you've told us that you are always looking for the 'Why' in the quantitative data sets. That at times your gut is telling you one thing while the data states a different reality. This is where qualitative research tecniques are needed to help answer the 'Why'.
Introducing RapidFire Plus!
Imagine the ability to gather quantitative feedback from 150 respondents while at the same time engaging in a qualitative conversation with 30 of those same participants? Imagine being able to conduct this research within 2-3 days depending on respondent needs! Even better, envision being able to do this all from the convenience of your own computer. No long flights, no overnights at hotels, no traveling to central locations.
Carbonview Research is introducing RapidFire+. A derivative to our highly succesful RapidFire product we have now added qualitative capabilities right out of the box. This product has the capability to allow you to talk live with qualified respondents that are in your own survey.
You Wanted Qualitative and Still Need it Fast

Beauty Most Unusual: Bath & Body Works Chocolate Bacon Cupcake
Yeah, it's true! Bath & Body Works was going to release a Chocolate Bacon Cupcake for Fall. It was released in the test stores but never made it officially to the Fall launch.
Chocolate and bacon……! Mmmmm! Not really that sounds disgusting.
Or would you buy it?
Damn shame as they had some great scents lined up for Fall but none made it to the master line. However, people are selling all of these, including the Chocolate Bacon Cupcake, on Evil-Bay.
Test Scents:
- Chocolate Bacon Cupcake
- Roasted Pumpkin Butter
- Blueberry Pumpkin Patch
- Farm Apple Cookie
- Toffee Glazed Popcorn
Whatcha think?
Would you buy bacon chocolate anything?
When I was in Maine last year my friend and I came across a store selling strips of chocolate covered bacon. Needless to say he was in hog heaven literally. As for me I don't like bacon to begin with and covering it in chocolate makes it even less appealing!
Gag me!
9/27/12 11:04 diane:
my older brother buys chocolate bars w/bacon in them and loves them. i find it weird but i'm totally going on evil-bay to get him this candle as a christmas gift! its perfect!! =) thanks!
9/27/12 11:12 Hillarie:
I saw a whole rack of bacon-related things at Claire's a couple months ago. I like real bacon, but I don't want it in any sort of home fragrance, body fragrance, or lip balm. Just.. ew.
9/27/12 11:16 Cindy:
I like bacon, but only if its on a burger or something like that. I can't eat bacon straight up on its own. I'll def have to pass on this candle. The toffee glazed popcorn however… muhahah!
9/27/12 11:37 Cj:
Yeah… Right I'm Ew…. Nasty…
*hides bucket of chocolate covered bacon*
9/27/12 11:38 Cj:
Umm not I'm you stupid phone grrr…
I love bacon as much as the next girl, but I do not understand the bacon craze this country has undergone in last few years. I mean, how long has bacon been around and we're all of a sudden obsessed with it? Also, it upsets me to think about Chocolate Bacon Cupcake beating out a test scent that I was interested in (different strokes for different folks, I know), but these are all food scents, so maybe my test scent has a chance. I'm interested in the Roasted Pumpkin Butter and Farm Apple Cookie candles, though.
Can we talk about how dangerous YouTube has become? It's bad enough (for my wallet, that is) that people post their makeup collections and makeup hauls, but now people post videos about B&BW test scents that might not make it nationwide or in-store preview events, and just UGH. lol
9/27/12 14:38 Karen M:
Yeah, I think I'll be skipping a chocolate bacon scented anything. Now give me chocolate or bacon to eat (not together), and I'm there. "Evil Bay"…that is awesome! LOL.
9/27/12 15:31 Comrade Garlic:
If smells as good as the Vosges bacon chocolate bar tastes, then yes. Best candy bar ever. Great, now I'm hungry.
9/27/12 16:35 Yen:
I'm not a fan of EATING chocolate with bacon, but the other scents sound amazing! Toffee popcorn? Mmm
9/27/12 16:48 Paige Wilkerson:
They had each of these scents at my local BBW, in Fort Worth, TX, and I bought all BUT the Chocolate Bacon Cupcake during their last 2 for 20$ sale. They smell awesome! I especially love the Blueberry Pumpkin Patch and Farm Apple Cookie. The Chocolate Bacon Cupcake actually smelt decent, I just couldn't get over the bacon and chocolate concoction, it just sounds horrid. But, the candle smelt like a meaty brownie…not too bad. Haha!
9/27/12 17:37 HautePJ:
First, I love B&BW candles but 30 minutes on a video review? LOL. Second, the reviewer referenced Apple Crumble, which might be my fave candle and wallflower. Third, Muse did you see they released a French Baguette candle with the Paris romance mini collection? I caved and bought it. It smells like fresh baked bread! I can't tell if I love it enough to use or not…
9/27/12 20:28 Icequeen81:
Say wathh bleeeh no that really sound disgusting. The idea only turned my stomash bleeeh
9/28/12 0:31 Phyrra:
I'm a huge chocolate fan. Ray brought me chocolate with bacon in it. It was weird, and wrong, and bizarre. Definitely not my cup of tea. I prefer sea salt, caramel, etc.
9/28/12 9:21 OrangeLipstickBlog:
The fact that you don't like bacon makes me question whether you're even a human being! Maybe you're a robot! 😉
9/28/12 19:31 Lauren S.:
Whew! Those were some odd ones! I love this guy though…he goes so in to depth. Awesome alert: I went into BBW today, and they had TWO items with Lambie on them – slippers with gold thread throughout and an eye mask. Yay for bringing back Lambie!!!! I think there might be more Lambie products on the way for the holidays!!!!
9/29/12 12:57 Catherine:
Some of the holiday candles are up on BBW site!!! I think they're copying philosophy packaging this year. It's cute, but that's philosophy's thing!
8/27/15 11:09 Nohely:
Wow that sounds like a disgusting scent for a candle! All of them really turn me off actually besides the farm apple scent. Me personally tho, I enjoy fragrances that smell more fresh and clean as to ones that smell like something I want to eat!

Hi all,
i'm new to this board and have a question: i've recieved a e-mailing mailing about the DX4000 that it's now on sale; but the prices that I see on the link WD-link don't say if this is INCLUDING the discs to reach the capacity...
Do any of you know this?
And I was also looking at the QNAP NAS, is this in any way comparible with the DX4000?
I'm looking forward to your feedback (Y)
Thanks in advance!
All of the Sentinels have the same base chassis hardware, the different capacity options come with that amount pre-installed of WD Caviar RE disks.
The DX4000 runs Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials which is a full blown OS with the 2 drive model as a RAID mirror or the 3-4 drive model as a RAID 5. The QNAP have their own OS.
It does include the disc's. What I find confusing is the 4tb model is a Raid1 which gives you 2 tb usable. The 8gb model is Raid 5, just a bit less tha 6 tb usable.
No clue on QNAP, but as stated earlier, this is more than just a NAS box.

1 no
2 yes
3 not with the proper WD Drive Kit Purchased from WD
4 yes
5 yes
6 as a rule no
7 see #6
8 probably not. If you want a NAS box, client Backup, and remote access to Supported Windows Desktops this would be a good choice

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Derrick Caracter scored 17 points and Terrence Williams flirted with his third triple-double of the season with eight points, eight rebounds and eight assists as Louisville beat St. John's 67-57 Saturday.
Jerry Smith added 15 points for the Cardinals (15-5, 5-2 Big East), who held St. John's to 32 percent shooting while sending the Red Storm (7-11, 1-6) to their fifth straight loss.
Anthony Mason Jr. led St. John's, tying a career high with 29 points, but received little help from his teammates. Mason Jr. made 10-of-21 field goals, including 7-of-11 3-pointers while the rest of the team went just 7-of-32 from the field.
The Cardinals never trailed but let one of the Big East's worst teams stick around well into the second half. Louisville led by as many as 15 in the first half, but Mason Jr. and some lethargic play by the Cardinals allowed the Red Storm to creep within 41-34 with just over 13 minutes left.
The Cardinals responded with a 16-1 burst, highlighted by the play of Caracter, who converted a pair of three-point plays during the run. Setting up in the left block, he spun to the middle and hit a baby hook while getting fouled. A minute later, Caracter took a fullcourt pass from Williams, caught the ball in the lane then flipped up a shot toward the rim while absorbing a hard foul.
The normally reserved Caracter clapped his hands while he made his way to the foul line as Freedom Hall roared. The free throw gave Louisville a 56-35 lead with 8:30 to go as Louisville won for the fifth time in six games.

Two thumbs up!! Gr8t!!
That was fantastic motortrend. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for shooting this!
Absolutely tremendous video! It's great to hear from the astronauts themselves. I remember the NASA corvettes very well. Excellent piece!
Fantastic video, a car is about the heart and the history as much as it is about the vehicle itself.
Yellow Corvette with chrome mags? There is more video time of old farts than the actual car itself.
Of all the epic drives, this is one is bad. Considering that this new Vette is so good, you guys really managed to make the worst video of one so far. You should have taken an epic drive to a retirement home while at it.
This car deserves much better. Pathetic.
Looks like they had some good times.

There's been a big upsurge of conservative commentary lashing Barack Obama for his Spanish-language television spot tying
John McCain to offensive statements by Rush Limbaugh. The statements
are so out of context as to be misleading, and the unstated implication
that McCain shares Limbaugh's views on immigration is misleading.
Conservatives are right to be upset, and Obama's supporters ought to
think less of him for running the ad.
the conservatives invariably go on to insist that this proves that
Obama is at least as dishonest as McCain, and why aren't the media
scrutinizing him the way they have McCain, and it must be because
they're LIBERAL LIBERAL LIBERAL.
But the mainstream press is taking Obama to task for his ad. (See here
and here, and there's much more if you look.) The problem is that
McCain has made many more, and more serious, falsehoods than Obama
does. (I explain this, and more, in a new TNR article.) It's not like
pundits started questioning McCain's honesty after one or two
misleading statements. It's the sustained, blatant indifference to
truth he's exhibited that has made many former admirers question his
think the intent of these complaints is to force the media back into
its previous posture of declaring both sides equally wrong no matter
how unequal the underlying facts. For instance, NBC's Domenico Montanaro calls
a new Obama ad unfair for accusing McCain of having voted to cut
spending on education and having proposed to abolish the Department of
Education. (This ad is the other piece of evidence conservatives have
been citing to show that Obama is just as dishonest as McCain.)
concedes that McCain voted for a budget that cut federal education
spending, and that he said, "I would certainly favor doing away with
the Department of Energy, and I think that given the origins of the
Department of Education, I would favor doing away with it as well." But
Montanaro says the attack is unfair because McCain has voted for another
bill that increased education spending, and because he endorsed No
Child Left Behind, which proves that "it seems unlikely McCain has any
intention of abolishing the Department of Education should he be
elected." I
certainly concede that Obama's ad is not the sort of balanced treatment of
McCain's education record that you'd write for a nonpartisan voter
guide. But is it inaccurate? Only according to a standard that would
make any political claim inaccurate. That's a standard
that benefits and encourages the worst liar. If the media is going to
ding every ad as unfair, then why not be the most unfair?
Michael Scherer of Time criticizes
Obama for ads that attack McCain's support for Social Security
privatization and against support for renewable energy. Why is this
unfair? On Social Security, he argues, "Now, it is true that
McCain did support President Bush's effort to privatize a portion of
Social Security. But it is not true that McCain is running for
president on a platform of turning Social Security over to Wall Street."
okay, McCain certainly isn't running on privatization in the sense of
hoping every voter is aware of his position on the issue. But he has
spoken out in favor of privatization and never retracted his view. In
an article
Mike cites today on the blog, Steve Schmidt openly defends McCain's
privatization plan, while distancing himself from the term
"privatization" (which was devised by advocates of privatization but
ditched recently when it proved unpopular):
not ever talked about outsourcing Social Security into the private
sector," senior adviser Steve Schmidt told reporters Thursday. "What
people talk about with regard to personal accounts is giving the
American people an ability to have a greater return on an investment --
it could be bond funds, for example."
I can't fathom what problem Mike, who's a good reporter, could possibly have with Obama's ad on Social Security.
for the energy ad, it's true that McCain says he favors alternative
energy subsidies. But there was a vote on such subsidies this year, and
McCain opposed it.
(It was paid for by retracting a 2005 tax cut for oil companies.) Can't
Obama criticize McCain for that position? It would be inaccurate to say
that McCain opposes those measures, but it seems fair to point out
where his record contradicts his rhetoric.
education and energy ads are slightly unfair, because they focus on
McCain's votes or old positions and ignore his current positions. But
that's very standard in politics. You might say that McCain's attack on
Obama for wanting to raise middle-class taxes is no worse. However,
McCain is citing a budget resolution that envisioned a tax hike, which
is not quite the same thing as voting to raise taxes. Plus, he seriously misstates
the income levels of those who would have been effected by the budget
resolution had it been an actual budget. On top of that, and most
dishonest of all, McCain repeatedly says that Obama plans higher taxes on the middle class, which is false.
defenders are trying to do what malfeasors of all kinds tend to do:
muddy the waters by retreating to moral relativism. No, Obama isn't a
saint, and I certainly don't recommend his ads or campaign statements
as a source of unbiased voter information. And the media certainly
ought to call him on his distortions, like the Spanish-language ad. But
there are clear distinctions here, and they matter.

|Sundowners at West 14th
Many claim that West 14th offers the best steak in Dubai - quite an accolade....
Marketing itself as a 'New York steak house' hence the name, West 14th is based at Oceana residences on the Palm Jumeirah and actually belongs to the Movenpick hotel group.
The venue is certainly an impressive location to take out of towners, the poolside terrace showcasing panoramic views across the water towards Dubai Mariana.
Everything about this restaurant screams "You are here to eat M.E.A.T and drink W.I.N.E!"
It's interior is designed with this single focus in mind - dark wood, exposed brickwork with 'feature' wine racks accented by blood red upholstered chairs. Even the subtle lighting has a hue of red to compliment the enormous goblet of Malbec you'll be glugging.
Inside, they have live music which I'm a massive fan of in general and a dance floor flanked by the bar area which can get pretty crammed post their aptly named 'Butcher's Brunch' on Friday evenings.
It's a great steak eating atmosphere....sophisticated yet warm and service is friendly and accommodating.
The hot loaf you will automatically be presented with when seated is scrum-diddlie-umcious. However the chain saw knife you'll get to cut it with, whilst looking cool is actually quite annoying as a bread cutting tool.
Now, if I know I'm due to consume a huge chunk of flesh for my main I always opt for fish or seafood to start to somewhat balance the heaviness of the meat and bread.
Starters of note include the Sticky Calamari with a sweet chili, nutty sauce, Crab & Avocado salad, Seared Scallops and the Hot Smoked Mackerel.
On the menu there are no less than 12 steaks to choose from which come listed by country of origin, cut, weight and what they ate!
I very much like this approach as I've a 'free-range' or 'grass fed' preference, wherever possible and there is 1 'Grass fed' tenderloin cut available.
Of the rest there's 2 Rib Eye, 4 Tenderloin , 2 Striplion, 2 On the Bone, a Flank Steak and a mammoth 550g Tomahawk sexistly listed as 'the mans choice'.
Quality and prices are high ranging from 175 for a lesser cut to 495 Dhs for the Tomahawk.
And here's something controversial - I'm not a fan of the now homogenous 'Wagu' beef either.
Wagu is meat from a cow that's been artificially fed on beer (?!) and is often perceived as the best at trendy eateries. However, I believe that this is just due to it usually being the most expensive rather than based on flavour and quality.
But if Wagu is your poison of choice there are 3 variants to choose from .
In addition to the steaks there are also some other great menu choices - The Drunken Short Ribs are mouth melty amazing, there's half a roast Organic Chicken, 2 Lamb, 2 interesting sounding Vegetarian options and quite a good Fish and Seafood selection.
Although why anyone would order Fish at this blatant bovine temple is quite beyond me.
For main I always go one of two ways Drunken short ribs which I have with a side of creamy mash or the Irish Grass feed Tenderloin with béarnaise sauce and sautéed mushrooms - both are excellent!
Hubsy always threatens he's having the Tomahawk but usually looks twice at the 495 Dhs price tag and eventually plumbs for the more moderate 300g Black Angus Striplion.
What makes West 14 particularly good is the small touch's.
Steaks are cooked to six tastes ranging from 'Blue' to 'Well done' you get assigned the specific steak knife to match your cut and the huge condiment cart that comes around hosts some real treats, the plum mustard for example was a revelation with my tenderloin.
I have to confess West 14th is a favourite meat haunt - especially when they were still included in the entertainer they now are not!! I've been many times and always default to the same menu items because they're just so damn good...I don't want to take a risk trying something new and being disappointed!
A little know fact is that they also do breakfast on Friday and Saturday and I'm desperate to go and sample the Braised Beef Short Ribs Benedict - phwarrrrrr!!!
It's certainly not cheap eats but imo you get what you pay for.
West 14th offers a great steak in a glamorous setting - for best results patron during the winter months sit outside enjoy the view with sun downers followed by Steak-Magificanto- Al fresco!
West 14th might just be the best steak in Dubai....the bar is high watch this space!

Indeed, one of the best 5.11's...
...didn't think the start was too bad, seemed to protect very well with .75 cams. Maybe rockfall made the clip more powerful (:?) Definitely a "get it on jones" sequence; do not stall.
Bring your roof/lb game for the second pitch. Small rack but mostly draws and slings is the name of the game.
Don't stop at the original anchor (see JJ's comments). It's wild but safe to go to the next stance which is much better for the second pitch.
By peachy spohn
Aug 31, 2008
|The beginning can be protected safely, as 426 says. I used a #2 metolious. Also, you can link pitches 1 & 2 with a 70m rope for a great long pitch. Make sure to use long runners. From the second pitch anchors you can lower to the first anchors.

|You can easily rap to the ground from the top pitch 2 with a single 70m rope. As of 9/7/08, there's a fixed #5 stopper at the roof, so go do the route! It's like a sport climb with that thing there.
By Brandon R.
Aug 24, 2009
|no fixed stopper there now, but there's a bolt nearby and the gear is easy enough to place. Also, we got down from the second pitch anchor in one rappel with a single sixty meter rope... barely. The third pitch looks good... wish I would have gone to the top.
By juancho
Sep 3, 2009
I would have loved to find a fixed stopper right there. The pro at the crux, while good, was very hard to place due to the pumpmeter redlining.
The 3rd pitch is great but the 2nd is by far the gem.
By Khick
Sep 4, 2015
|First crux was tough but the climbing after that was fun. I belayed at the anchors in the alcove, which I assume is the anchor for Heat Sensitive. The next pitch was rad too! The shallow corner and crux were really fun, I wish it could have been longer.

Westcott Travel Bag 4211
March 12, 2013
Beware. I've owned this bag for 2 years to transport the light kit it came with maybe ten times. Right away I noticed the plastic that surrounds the wheels rubs on the ground/floor unless it's rolled at a steep angle which is not practical. After a year of fairly light use, the wheels are broken, the top handle broke, a zipper pull broke and the buckle came off of one of the inside velcro straps. Poorly designed case. The kit is nice. Transport case is a disappointment.
Pros:It's big
Cons:Not heavy duty enough for the size it is. Poor wheel design. Weak zipper. Weak handle Certainly not Pro quality.

I'm going to try another eye cream by lancome(checking out the top product reviews)...if you need to depuff just a little and want a good, heavy eye moisturizer this is for you but I'm sure there are cheaper eye creams out there that can do the same if not better...I have nothing against lancome just that this eye cream is a waste of cash

OK, I got this as a sample and hoped it would diminish my baby lines around my eyes. I've been using this for a few months now, and haven't seen any results. It moisturizes well but that's about it. I saw more results from my CVS knock off of Olay Regenerist night cream. It's sad when CVS is beating Lancome, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper!

I was sure hoping this product would work since it cost me what seemed like an arm and a leg. I'm in my mid-30s and have only recently started to see the signs of aging around my eyes so I wanted a good high-quality eye treatment and figured I couldn't go wrong with Lancome. I had read good reviews of this product on epinions which is how I eventually chose it. I've been using it for about 4 months and I feel like my fine lines haven't dimenished at all. I don't even know if I'm using it right because there were no directions on the container or box. Anyway, it's basically just an intense moisterizer, so in that regard, it's fine...albeit, fairly heavy. I don't think it's very good at firming anything though, so next time I get an eye cream I'm going to look for something else. It feels good and smells good though!

I purchased this product, because I have fine lines under my eyes (I'm only 22!) and my concealer consequently looks... not that great. I tried this product for the first time last night, and I swear my fine lines are even more defined, today! I'll continue to use the product, since I bought it, but so far I don't feel that this cream is proving beneficial. I had no expectations as to whether puffiness was reduced or dark circles faded - I just want these lines to go away, and I would expect it to improve after one treatment, not worsen. Will not repurchase. UPDATE 7/28/07: Gave up on this after a week and switched to Cetaphil moisturizing cream for my under eye area... works like a charm and so cheap!

I needed a standard eye cream, so I bought this. I like the fact that it really hydrates the area around my eyes without feeling greasy, however, I don't really think it has done much in the way of firming my skin or decreasing my fine lines. I probably wouldn't purchase this.

I bought this product after using a sample of the renergie microlift face cream. I have used it for about a week and am seeing irritation around my eyes that did not happen with the face cream. I did see results with the cream and was told at the counter that the eye cream worked even better. I am taking it back for a refund. I do like the regular cream and the serum. I have seen dramatic results with those products.

so far, i really like this eye cream. the texture is amazing.. feels like silk. i love putting this stuff on b/c it feels so nice. and you only need a teeny bit to do the job. it's not greasy, moisturizes the eye area, sinks right into the skin, and my eyes do not as puffy in the morning. not sure yet about the lines around my eyes... i still see them, but am still undecided on whether or not they are not as prominent/noticeable as before. overall though, nice product.

It's really good, and made the skin around my eyes feel so nice and smooth. But, while it's good, it isn't Avon's Ulti. eye cream, which is also pricey but it's my fave!
Won't repurchase (actually, this one is a GWP size so I never purchased in the 1st place!) because, as i said, it's quite good but I have one I like just a bit better.

PPP Strawberry blonde w/ very dry skin in the eye area.
This my HG eye cream because it firms the skin around my eye immediately after application and it locks in moisture. I apply this over MD Forte retinol eye cream for added benfit. Highly recommend for dry eye area.

I got this in a gift package for buying a product.. I'd have to say that it did absolutely nothing, did not have the nicest texture, and did not improve the dryness under my eyes... To be honest.. it didn't do anything. ;-; Disappointing.

Weighing in at a whopping 3 pounds, Tesco's new giant avocados, nicknamed "Avozillas," really do have a Godzilla-sized presence. The U.K.-based supermarket chain is selling the "world's largest avocados," which are five times bigger than standard varieties, for £3.
According to The Guardian, the seven-and-a-half-inch avocados are incredibly rare, picked from just four trees in South Africa. Their supermarket debut comes at a time when avocado's popularity in Europe is high and still growing. Tesco's salad buyer, Emma Bonny, told the publication, "We believe the Avozilla will appeal to shoppers who are looking for value for money, but especially large families." She recommends making guacamole with the avocado and serving it in a bowl made from the avocado's skin.
The supermarket chain has introduced a number of extra large options to its shelves in the past, from enormous Brussels sprouts to giant pineapples.
Check out the slideshow below to learn everything you've ever wanted to know about avocados.

RadioShack plans to close up to 1,100 underperforming stores in the United States.
The locations have not been announced. Norwalk's RadioShack store is located in the Norwalk Korners Plaza.
There will be about 4,000 stores remaining after the closings.
RadioShack's fourth-quarter financial results showed a net loss of $191.4 million.
"Our fourth quarter financial results were driven by a holiday season characterized by lower store traffic, intense promotional activity particularly in consumer electronics, a very soft mobility marketplace and a few operational issues," Joseph C. Magnacca, chief executive officer, said. "Even in this environment, we're continuing to make progress on the five pillars of our turnaround plan: repositioning the brand, revamping the product assortment, reinvigorating the stores, operational efficiency and financial flexibility.
"Our brand equity remains strong, reflected in the sales growth we're seeing in our new Concept Stores which redefine the RadioShack store experience," Magnacca added. "We have also been encouraged by the positive response to our new brand positioning around "Do It Together," which we kicked off with our award winning Super Bowl commercial. Importantly, our key hires during the fourth quarter in merchandising, global sourcing, planning and allocation and, more recently, our new chief financial officer, round out our new leadership team as we continue to re-build the business."
RadioShack ushered in the company's new brand positioning with a 30-second ad featuring '80s icons during last month's Super Bowl. The ad was meant to shed outdated perceptions of the brand for consumers in need of a reintroduction to RadioShack.
"Our focus on the brand, our operations, and the in-store experience has been unfolding in parallel with a strategic review of our store footprint," Magnacca said. "Over the past few months, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our portfolio from many angles – location, area demographics, lease life and financial performance – in order to consolidate our store base into fewer locations while maintaining a strong presence in each market. The result of that review is our plan to close up to 1,100 underperforming stores. We will continue to have a strong, unmatched presence across the U.S. with over 4,000 stores including over 900 dealer franchise locations.
"Without minimizing the challenges ahead, we have a detailed strategic path to profitability based upon the five pillars of our turnaround," Magnacca concluded. "Our entire team is focused on execution as we work to improve our performance in the coming year."
RadioShack isn't the only chain experiencing financial difficulties. Last week, Staples Inc. announced it would close more than 200 stores nationwide by the end of 2015.

N268FE, with the nickname "Ginger" emblazoned under its cockpit window, has dodged the scrap heap and been donated by Federal Express to the airport firefighting forces as a major addition to its training capacities.
After the Boeing 727 tipped its wings in one final low pass over the assembled crowd, and as fire truck water cannons greeted the newest piece of air/rescue/firefighting equipment to the airport, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority celebrated the arrival of its own 727 to train its firefighters and those of fire departments throughout the region.
"FedEx sure knows how to deliver," said Kimberley A. Minkel, NFTA executive director, during morning ceremonies. "Our fire department has long wanted a real plane so our fire drills could be more realistic and true."
"So please know we will put this aircraft to good use," she added, "and help our firefighters and police save lives going forward."
The FedEx donation stems from a program dating to 1995, when the world's biggest air cargo carrier began retiring its fleet of aging 727s. The first went to the Federal Aviation Administration's research facility in Atlantic City, N.J., and the next to the Children's Museum of Memphis, Tenn., where Federal Express is headquartered.
The arrival of N268FE at Buffalo Niagara International marks the 59th plane the carrier has donated, with many serving the same airport training functions planned by the NFTA's firefighting personnel. Airport firefighters, other professionals and volunteers from throughout the area are expected to train on the plane several days a week, practicing through synthetic smoke or puncturing holes in the roof to master ventilation techniques. FBI agents, counterterrorism agencies and even bomb-sniffing K-9 dogs also plan to regularly drill on board.
"It's going to be great," said airport Fire Chief Chris Putney. "What wouldn't we use this for?"
Putney explained that the plane was acquired through the efforts of Firefighter Brian Powers, who began researching how the department might acquire a practice aircraft back in March.
When authority officials ruled out the almost $10 million price tag on some available aircraft for sale, Powers discovered the FedEx program by trolling through the Internet.
"Brian comes to my office and says: 'Chief, we've got all these training videos but nothing we can touch.
How much money do we have?'?" Putney said. "?'We don't have any,' I told him. Next thing I know he's come up with a plane."
Powers said that after a Google search produced the needed information, it took two weeks for FedEx to agree to make the donation.
FedEx officials said they remain enthusiastic about returning airplanes to the cities they have served.
"So whether it's an important package, or in this case an aircraft, we delivered to a community that we call home," said David P. Sutton, managing director of FedEx aircraft acquisition and sales. "It is my hope -- it is the hope of FedEx -- that this aircraft provides the critical hands-on training that is essential to the skill set of the next generation of emergency responders."
N268FE, which flew 14 years for Air Canada before logging another 19 for FedEx, is expected to reside near the Fire Department headquarters at the airport for many years to come.

Got nothing to say,
Nothing to do
Why do I feel this way ?
Mixed up - the will to survive
But I can't tell if I'm dead or alive
A no win situation
What can you do ?
Of my own creation
I don't have a clue.
I don't know, don't know,
Don't know what I want
I don't know, don't know,
But I want it now
Right now !
Hang on - bon't know if I can
How much can I take
How much can I stand
Tied down - by things that I hide
I bite my lip I swallow my pride
Emptiness invades me
Tries to push you around
Happiness escapes me
Here's what I found
I don't know, don't know,
Don't know what I want
I don't know, don't know,
Don't But I want it now
Yes I do !
Don't wanna go but but I gotta get away
Damned if you do
And damned if you don't
My cross to bear if I stay this way
Your power of will has left you alone,
All alone
Lookin' for an answer
I can't believe where I've been
Headed for disaster
The way that I see

Walsall faces with stony stares
Posted: January 23, 2013|
Walsall was the chosen destination to cherish the p r e - C h r i s t m a s atmosphere at the town's ancient parish church of St Matthew's. But unfortunately the cold, damp December weather was matched by a sign of the times; the church door was locked, barring entry, the chance of theft and vandalism too great a risk to take by church officials to warrant leaving the doors open to valid visitors.
In the mind's eye the lights on the Christmas tree in the church nave were sadly switched off, the glow of the candles extinguished, and perhaps the sight of the crib embellished with holly and ivy, never enjoyed. Only the gloomy, grey sky overhead, the persistent rain making the cobbled walkway shine like a polished mirror, and the stark outline of headstones in the churchyard, were present to arrest the senses.
But a stony face came into view, looking down from one of the church walls, wearing an expression etched with contentment, perhaps a little whimsical, and a head covering that wound around the neck, perhaps a character drawn from Walsall's past by a master mason from an unknown era.
This parish church has stood upon its high prominence, commanding an extensive view of the town, for many centuries (the oldest monument within the church is a recumbent effigy in 14th century armour of Sir Roger Hillary which dates from 1399).
But it was rebuilt in 1820 with the exception of the tower, spire and chancel, so whether the stony face was fashioned by a chisel and hammer in the early years of the 19th century, or is the work of a medieval mason, is not known.
The journey to St Matthew's lofty vantage point had therefore not been in vain, and despite the rain increasing in intensity, more faces appeared through the camera lens. At this juncture it has to be said that the stone face carvings on the church walls are difficult to study without a camera, and therefore the pictures that feature in this story are the result of several magnifications.
Put all together on one page they look like members of an ancient Walsall family, or alternatively the mugshots of a criminal gang wanted for questioning. You can imagine the bloke at the top of the page, who has unfortunately lost his nose, had a squint in his left eye, but was a loveable rogue, always laughing and joking.
Then there's the buxom young wench with a wondrous look on her face. Perhaps she used to work on Walsall market in days of yore, possibly a fruit seller? There is a girl with plaited hair that hangs long, twisted and falls down at the front, surely a youngster who the master mason decided deserved to have her youthful character reproduced in stone? The red paint on her face remains a mystery.
Another young wench seems to be surprising someone, almost saying boo! from inside a cone of some description.
The last two stony faces represent men of perhaps superior standing. Dressed similar to a Greek senator, the one could be the mason's interpretation of an ancient king, or even a Greek god, with toga to match, and the final face could easily be a self portrait of the master mason himself, dressed in garb not dissimilar to a style worn by the Tudors. With air pollution almost eradicated in the Black Country, the weather seems to be the only threat to these stony faces looking down on Walsall folk for many years to come.

As of Monday, May 13, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
NEW ORLEANS — Nineteen people including two young children were shot on Sunday when gunfire erupted at a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans, police said.
Shots rang out at 1:45 p.m. local time as the second line of the parade passed the 1400 block of Frenchmen Street in the city, New Orleans Police Department spokesman Garry Flot said.
Ten men and seven woman were shot along with a 10-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy. The children were grazed and are in good condition, Flot said in a statement.
"Many of the victims were grazed some by bullets that ricocheted," he said.
Two victims are undergoing surgery, according to Flot.
New Orleans police superintendent Ronal Serpas told reporters at least one other person was injured as spectators fled the scene.
Emergency medical responders took 11 people to Interim LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans, according to hospital spokesman Marvin McGraw. He said he could not discuss their conditions because he did not have their consent.
Officers saw three suspects running away, one described as dark-skinned male aged 18 to 22 with short hair, Serpas said. No arrests were made.
Photographs of the shooting aftermath in the Times-Picayune newspaper showed a man lying on his stomach beside a pool of blood, being helped by two bystanders.
Other photos showed a man in shorts sitting on a cobbled street, his calf bleeding and covered with a bandana.
The incident is not the first shooting involving multiple casualties in New Orleans this year.
In February four people were wounded in a shooting outside a nightclub in the city's French Quarter as crowds gathered for Mardi Gras celebrations.

Chicago may soon lose its #1 spot for the most murders/crimes committed by guns in the nation. The Federal & La. governments could not wait to get new nice-looking housing for all the welfare folks to run back to N.O. after Katrina. Ha. What they got was the same old trash they had before there. Just look at all the crime and drugs that hit the streets in Metro Atlanta after many of those thugs moved here after Katrina. And the Federal government who gave each evacuee up to $2,500 a month grants to live on. I wonder how most of that grant money went to the jewelry stores here in Metro Atlanta and not to apartments, grocery stores, clothing stores, doctors, etc. And the Feds, including FEMA, have not done very much about all the grant money they gave to those idiots since 2005, many of which did not even own a house in N.O. to qualify for those grants. (Your tax money at work).

Heller Announces Support for Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
Bill aims to stop workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity
(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) today announced his support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is expected to be considered by the Senate this week.
"After listening to Nevadans' concerns about this issue from a variety of viewpoints and after numerous conversations with my colleagues, I feel that supporting this legislation is the right thing to do. Under the leadership of this Governor, as well as the legislature over the past several years, Nevada has established a solid foundation of anti-discrimination laws. This legislation raises the federal standards to match what we have come to expect in Nevada, which is that discrimination must not be tolerated under any circumstance," said Senator Dean Heller.
ENDA prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

The total carat weight is 1.36 in diamonds and 1.11 in sapphires. Not nearly as big as the ring following their win in Super Bowl 42, that weighed in at 1.5 carats in diamonds.

The petite Kourtney Kardashian is really starting to show!
The Kardashian sister flaunted her growing baby bump yesterday in Malibu in tight white dress while walking around with adorable son Mason and baby daddy Scott Disick.
Kourtney's bump is getting so big she was seen resting Mason on it while carrying him!
Speaking of Mason, isn't he adorable? His fashionable wardrobe has us counting down the days until Kourtney has a little girl to impeccably dress up too!

Re: Star Trek: Shaping a Cardassian
Wow...so Dukat punished her for something that I believe was HIS idea (that is, bringing her family to Terok Nor)...what a jerk.
And it cracks me up that the incompetent gul's name seems so close to "A-Hole."
I am at least glad to see that Jarol hasn't given up on trying to do the right thing since losing her family...that could easily have made a person so bitter that they no longer cared at all, but it's good to see there's still something left in her. I hope it will be rewarded someday--though with her going right back to the commander who punished her for HIS IDEA...I can't see things going well for awhile yet.
