Venture off the tourist trail to see some of the most interesting London attractions
Published: Monday 25th of February 2013
There are plenty of fantastic London attractions to explore on a trip to the capital, but many of the most interesting places to visit are somewhat off the beaten track, meaning that some tourists may never have heard of them.
The Fan Museum
The Fan Museum brings back to life an old art form that is largely forgotten. While fans were once used to keep people cool, they were also the medium used for many artists to express themselves on.
Visitors to the Fan Museum will find that it is located in two grade II listed buildings – which is appealing in itself. These houses, dating from the 1720s, have been sensitively restored to their former grandeur, allowing visitors to view the fans in the stunning surroundings similar to those they would have been featured in during their heyday.
The museum does not simply just show off fans, it also gives the history and context of each of its collections, providing a new way for history buffs to look at the past. Both the status and practical use of the fans is taken into consideration, as well as the fact that their purpose has changed dramatically over the course of history.
As well as a permanent collection, the museum often puts on temporary exhibitions which study the fans from many different perspectives.
Pollock's Toy Museum
Pollock's Toy Museum is a delightful tourist attraction which allows visitors to step back in time and get a glimpse into the lives of the children of the past.
It is named after Benjamin Pollock, who was a famous printer of toy theatres in the Victorian era. These 'paper theatres' were most popular in the 1800s. Children would use them to stage their own productions at home, with many of these pieces showing off an incredible level of detail.
The museum is famed for its collection of traditional English toy theatres, but it also has an extensive selection of other toys. It names board games, optical, mechanical and construction toys, English tin toys and puppets among its collection. There are also wax and composition dolls, teddy bears, china dolls, lead miniatures, doll's houses and folk toys from Europe on show.
The Old Operating Theatre Museum
This tourist attraction is a great one for people who are into anything a bit gruesome – but it also comes with a great dose of history.
Visitors will have to climb to the roof of St Thomas' Church in order to access the attraction – but it is well worth the walk! This 300-year-old herb garret houses an operating theatre from the days before anaesthesia was a viable option. It features a wooden operating table and observation stands, where spectators would sit to witness surgeries.
The operating theatre used to be attached to St Thomas' Hospital, and placing it in the Herb Garret gave it separation from the ward, as well as having a different entrance for medical students. Until 1846 no anaesthetics were used, and surgeons instead depended on swift technique, alcohol or opiates to dumb the patient's senses, as well as their mental preparation.

Town official faces drug charges-A A +A
Friday, May 9, 2014
THE market administrator of Dumanjug and four other men were charged before the Cebu Provincial Prosecutor's Office yesterday afternoon.
Jose Perfecto Amadora Sr. faces complaints for illegal possession of firearms and for alleged violations of Sections 6 (maintaining a drug den), 11 (possession of illegal drugs), and 12 (possession of drug paraphernalia) of the Republic Act (RA) 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Michael Piega, 40, Ronilo Meguiso, 33, Emilio Sabino, 33, and Loverjan Castro, 20, were also charged with violating Section 7 (visiting a drug den) of RA 9165.
Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) 7 caught the suspects during a raid on Amadora's bungalow last Wednesday.
They seized 20 sachets of shabu worth P500,000, drug paraphernalia, drug proceeds, 500 bullets and two pistols with ammunition from Amadora.
The raid was conducted based on a search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Branch 19 Wilfredo Navarro.
Lawyer Mauro Lecin, PDEA 7 spokesperson, said Amadora's offense is non-bailable, based on Section 11 of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 or RA 9165, because the total stash weighs more than 50 grams.
Section 28 of the same law provides that the maximum penalty shall be imposed if the guilty offender is a government official or employee.
He or she will also be disqualified from public service, if convicted.
During the inquest proceeding conducted Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Al Rey Ouano yesterday afternoon, Amadora opted to avail himself of his right to preliminary investigation and file a counter-affidavit.
The other suspects opted not to answer the complaint, which will be elevated to court for trial. They were assisted by lawyer Ian Peter Leyson.
In his report to PDEA Director General Arturo Cacdac Jr, PDEA 7 Acting Director Esperidion Javier described Amadora as a big-time drug lord and drug operator.
Javier said Amadora has long been "engaged in illegal drug trade that extends to Dumanjug's neighboring municipalities."

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
Jeff Garrett: This date is the undisputed "KEY" to the series. Because of its low mintage and survival rate, this date brings a healthy price in circulated condition. The 1911–D Indian Head Quarter Eagle has by far the lowest mintage and it seems that surprisingly few were saved. The issue is usually well struck and is peculiar in that nearly every genuine example is seen with a pronounced wire rim on the obverse. This feature is a diagnostic of the date, and is even seen on examples that have a very weak D mint mark. It is recommended to avoid the weak D examples of this date. The resale value is usually quite soft. The 1911–D is not the rarest Indian Head Quarter Eagle in MS 65 condition, but it is certainly the most expensive. The date is extremely rare in superb condition. Just two examples have been graded by NGC at that level (11/12).

Lawmaker: No 'PDAF-like' allocation under Aquino's 2015 budget-A A +A
Tuesday, July 29, 2014
MEMBERS of the House of Representatives vowed Tuesday to block schemes similar to the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) or the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), as Congress prepares to tackle the proposed P2.606-trillion 2015 national budget.
House Majority Floor Leader Neptali Gonzales II said the 2015 General Appropriations Bill will not contain "pork barrel-like" allotment similar to what his fellow lawmakers did when they decided to scrap the P25.24-billion PDAF allotment under this year's P2.265 trillion national budget.
"No pork barrel, no budget insertions and DAP-like appropriations," he said, referring to PDAF and the government's economic stimulus program, which were declared separately as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (SC).
Budget Secretary Florencio Abad Jr. will submit on Wednesday afternoon the proposed 2015 national budget at the House and the committee on appropriations will immediately start its deliberations next week.
The filing of the budget bill was mentioned in Monday's fifth State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III.
Davao Representative Isidro Ungab, committee on appropriations chairperson, assured the timely passage of the national budget.
"We intend to pass the budget on time so that the National Government will have an approved budget on the first day of 2015," Ungab said.
House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. reiterated his commitment for Congress' timely approval of the national budget despite DAP controversies and three separate impeachment complaints filed against President Aquino.
Belmonte vowed to pass the new budget by December.
"We will try to pass it on time. We are committed to ensure that the country's economic upward trajectory will continue. Providing basic services to the needy is a matter of the utmost importance," the Speaker said.
The proposed General Appropriations Act (GAA) for next year is 15 percent higher than this year's P2.265 trillion budget.
Belmonte said that based on Malacanang's plan, key expenditures in the national budget were for social protection and social services; job generation and economic expansion; climate change adaptation and mitigation, enabling environment for inclusive development.
For social protection, the government is proposing to increase the allocation for the conditional cash transfer program from P62.6-billion to P78-billion to cover the increase in beneficiaries from 4.3 million households to five million households.
Belmonte said that there will be an increase on the budget for the National Health Insurance Program from P35.3-billion to P37.2-billion, and for educational facilities from P44.6 billion to P52.7 billion.
In a bid to further promote job generation, the government will proposed an increase in the budget for national roads and bridges from P130.4-billion to P186.6-billion; and for tourism infrastructure development from P14.7-billion to P20-billion.
In the implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation, the national government proposes an increase in the allocation for flood control and drainage projects from P34.8-billion to P38.6-billion. (Sunnex)

Craig Kallman (Atlantic Records CEO) and STRAIGHT NO CHASER will be interviewed on ABC's 20/20 as part of their Special on "Generation YouTube" at 10 pm EST on ABC.
TUNE IN TONIGHT! SNC on 20/20
Craig Kallman (Atlantic Records CEO) and STRAIGHT NO CHASER will be interviewed on ABC's 20/20 as part of their Special on "Generation YouTube" at 10 pm EST on ABC.
The link I posted previously no longer leads to the appearance of SNC. Here is a clip I found on YouTube of the episode. SNC is about 2:40 in. http://youtu.be/CqrFuoSZhus I hope to find a better link to post later!
Yes, it was short, but there's a post on SNC's FB page from a new fan in AUSTRALIA who found out about SNC from watching 20/20! They said, "I saw a 10 second grab of your 12 Days video on a TV documentary about YouTube. I looked it up and was instantly hooked. What an amazing sound! Thank you from your newest fan! It's also resulted in 14 new Aussie fans that I know of (one of which has already purchased just about the entire CD/DVD collection from their website)." So, even though it was shorter than we Chasers would have liked, that kind of international exposure is paying off!
It was waaaaay too short. They could have spent a little bit more time on the guys. They never posted the videos to get noticed, I think they could have spent a little bit more time on why and how. I'm glad they got them on there, though!!!
I think that Three Dog Night's song "It's For You" would be a fantastic song for Straight No Chaser to sing with three part harmony. They would put it "out of the park"
Dottie, I soooooo agree with you! If you blinked you could easily miss seeing SNC! ABC spent way toooooo much time of the kid who was okay but I would not consider him to be anywhere near the class and talent of SNC!
You can go here and http://abcnews.go.com/2020/ and select "part 4" to see our boys... Totally had a fan-girl moment seeing them, but it was WAY too short. Greyson was cute & all, but I hated the way they seemed to squeeze Straight No Chaser in. I mean, they only said the group's name ONE TIME! I'm all about that lavender shirt though. :p #silly
I taped it and didn't watch the enitre hour, but scanned through quickly to find our boys. All I saw (so far) was about 20 seconds of clips. Disappointing that ABC would spend an entire segment on a Beiber-wannabe and so little time on a truly talented, hard-working group. So when are the guys the featured music on Letterman, Leno, Kimmel or Fallon?
Woohoo, I'm glad I read this before it comes on tonight!!! Amanda, ABC will probably have it on their site for people to watch. Can't wait to see them tonight!!
Darn, don't have a way to record it and I'm in class during that time. Hopefull a video gets posted somewhere!
Have the DVR set AND watching it live... I LOVE SNC!! They're playing here in April and I have tickets already!!
DVR set now...hope the darned thing holds up until I get to watch it, anyway. melbell, you're repeating yourself. ;-)

As 2014 begins, it is important to note the developments in New Jersey law over the past year that may affect product liability litigation. Two of the more interesting decisions rendered during the past year are Town of Kearny v. Brandt, 214 N.J. 76, 83 (2013), and Villanueva v. Zimmer, 431 N.J. Super. 301 (App. Div. 2013).
In Brandt, the New Jersey Supreme Court held that when claims against a defendant are dismissed under New Jersey's Statute of Repose, the jury may still apportion fault to the dismissed defendant under the Comparative Negligence Act and the Joint Tortfeasors Contribution Law. The Brandt ruling is significant because it establishes that defendants who are dismissed under the statute shall remain on the verdict sheet and are considered "parties" by the fact finder when allocating fault. This is important for manufacturers of products that are installed contemporaneously with improvements to real property because the statute imposes a 10-year limit on actions against parties responsible for the design, planning, supervision or construction of improvements to real property. Architects, engineers and contractors who may be immune from liability to the plaintiff under the statute may still go on the verdict sheet, where their respective percentages of fault can be determined by the fact finder. Accordingly, manufacturers of products that do not qualify for protection under the statute will not be forced to pay a disproportionate share of a judgment simply because the statute does not apply to them.
Villanueva, another notable decision rendered during 2013, establishes that Social Security Administration (SSA) findings regarding disability are generally considered inadmissible hearsay in subsequent personal injury actions. In particular, the Villanueva court held that a SSA disability finding was inadmissible hearsay and did not meet the requirements of the "public records" hearsay exception contained in N.J.R.E. 803(c)(8). The Villanueva court also found that the SSA disability finding was unduly prejudicial to the defendant and likely to mislead the jury, and accordingly it was deemed inadmissible under N.J.R.E. 403. In that regard, the Villanueva court concluded that the introduction of the SSA disability finding could "cause the jury, despite the questionable utility of the determination with respect to causation, to inappropriately give weight, based on the fact that the SSA is a government agency, to its conclusions that the plaintiff suffered a disability and was unable to work and to find, therefore, that this was due to defendant's negligence." It should be noted, however, that the Villanueva court did not rule on whether it would be possible for an SSA disability determination to become admissible if a defendant somehow "opens the door." As such, attorneys should refrain from suggesting to the jury that no one has ever determined that an injured plaintiff is disabled if in fact the SSA has made such a finding. Such a statement could open the door, and render a SSA disability determination admissible for purposes of impeachment.

Johnny Walker is asked by an old friend, Karl Baumstark, to come rescue him from marauding rebels that have taken him and his granddaughter, Heather, hostage. The rebel leader has learned the archeological dig Baumstark was working on just might harbor a biblical relic, a tiara called the Devil's Crown. Legend has it that the wearer will gain supernatural powers endowed by the devil himself. With plans of universal domination, the lizard eyed Basil Crump believes Walker is the only hope he has of making Baumstalk tell where to look for the find, but he harbors an unyielding grudge against Walker that makes him as dangerous as nitroglycerin left out in the sun. When Walker arrives on the scene he soon finds out Crump is the least of his problems; Baumstark's flirtatious granddaughter is smitten with him. Walker must keep reminding himself she is only eighteen years old. Worse yet, when he finds the accursed Crown inside a cave, Walker is unable to resist trying it out. Instantly he loses all self-control and he tries to force Heather to submit to the unthinkable. Heather nearly brains Walker attempting to escape. She later fears she killed him. So ends Walker's last Adventure? or is it only the beginning of an even greater adventure?

FORT OLDHAM, TEXAS. Fort Oldham was a community in Washington County during the Republic of Texas era. Its post office was established on January 24, 1838, with Claiborne Fitch as postmaster. Fitch served until the post office was closed on January 11, 1842. The settlement disappeared soon afterwards and left no trace.

Adexchanger: In regards to benefits:President & CEO of Turn, Bill Demas shares his thoughts on the benefits and concerns of the DoubleClick Ad Exchange with
- We see this as a great opportunity for both advertisers and publishers. AdX 2.0 will allow advertisers access to publisher inventory that they simply wouldn't be able to access on their own. (and vice versa)
- Advertisers that are looking for remarketing and behavioral reach are now given an open door to the Google AdSense inventory with the confidence that they can run their campaigns only on sites that meet their brand's quality guidelines.
- For a company like Turn the fact that AdX 2.0 offers unprecedented reach and can facilitate real-time bidding is key. AdX 2.0 with real-time bidding gives us the opportunity to offer this precise level of targeting with scale.
- The standard fears agencies have around ad exchange inventory is whether you can control the site quality. Since AdX will not be allowing ad networks to resell inventory, most of these concerns are alleviated. Furthermore, they have a very robust content qualification and segmentation process that provides the ability to create a brand-safe environment.

Our preferred way to accessorize a beer is with a glass of whisk(e)y, neat, sipped slowly. And while it's no news that brewers have taken to aging their suds in whiskey barrels, Scotland's Harviestoun Brewery was the first to do it in casks that once contained Highland Park Single Malt, lauded tipple of the Orkney Islands. Ola Dubh (O-la Doob) means black oil in Gaelic, which perfectly describes the look of this ale as it glugs into your glass. Harvieston's Old Engine Oil (a bitter, chocolaty black ale) is the base for the beer, which is then matured in Highland Park's seasoned sherry casks. Ola Dubh is available in a range reflecting the age of the scotch that once hibernated in each barrel. We're particularly fond of the 40-Year Old Special Reserve (released last winter, but perfect for right now), both for its rarefied pedigree and the unequivocal whiskey notes that are woven into its creamy character: chocolate malt, coffee, and lingering sherry wood smoke. The beer goes for around $19 per 11.2 oz. bottle. If you can swing some HP 40-year ($2,000 retail) to pair it with, Mister, you'll have the most perfect, most expensive Boilermaker ever made.

Factory Wax
Hey, i just got my new gnu rider's choice and i'm about to take it out for its virgin ride on thursday.
My question is, do i want to get it hot waxed before i ride it? it says it comes pre-waxed with one ball jay or something like that, but i've never heard good things about factory wax before this.
Any opinion one way or another?
If you have the time i would wax it at home (or have someone do it) prior to taking it out. I have bought boards that i set up and rode straight "off the shelf" and for the most part was fine but the factory wax job is usually pretty dried and brittle by the time it gets into your hands. In all cases I waxed it the evening after the first ride.
yeah thats what i figured. if i find somewhere convenient i'll hot wax it
Factory wax jobs are usually put in place to keep the base from becoming real dry before the sale of the board. If I was you I'd take it to get a good hot wax before you ride it. I rode my M3 with the factory wax job when I got it and I definitely noticed a difference when I got a real wax job done on it.

Full-day Preconferences: Wednesday, March 25 - 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Developing Research Questions, Methods, and Habits of Mind: A Workshop for Innovative and Sustainable Research
This preconference is intended for librarians wanting to (re-)ignite their enthusiasm and engagement with scholarly research. Both experienced and new librarian researchers will gain new perspectives on their research as they practice developing and refining research questions, explore options for choosing research methods, and discuss ways to develop the habits of mind of creative, productive researchers. The workshop will be a combination of presentations, hands-on activities, small and large group discussions, and individual reflection.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify and develop a strong research problem and research question; recognize the strengths and limitations of the three major categories of research methodologies: quantitative, qualitative, and critical/theoretical; and understand and respect the different types of knowledge which emerge from different research methodologies.
- Discern habits of mind that will help facilitate success in creating and sustaining their research endeavours.
- Recognize that they are a key part of creating and nurturing sustainable communities within and between academic libraries through research activities and collaboration.
Primary tag: Scholarly Communication
Presenters: Selinda Berg, Librarian, University of Windsor; Kristin Hoffmann, Head, Research and Instructional Services, University of Western Ontario; Heldi Jacobs, Information Literacy Librarian, University of Windsor
Getting Down to Brass Tacks: Practical Approaches for Developing Data Management Services
This preconference will address the data management education needs of the library community. Through a sequence of modules, attendees will leave this session with knowledge of the diverse data management landscape, strategies to engage their campus communities, and a plan for starting or enhancing data management services. It is the intention that feedback from this session could be used to inform future ACRL educational and training opportunities for data management/curation. A basic understanding of the research lifecycle, scholarly communication, and the broad concepts of data management is preferred. Prior to the preconference, registrants will receive an email of suggested readings.Learning Outcomes:
- Define data management as it relates to data information literacy in order to build upon existing information literacy pedagogy.
- Develop a framework for determining the most appropriate scale for data management services based on institutional circumstances.
- Develop strategies for engaging faculty and students on data management issues in order to advance data information literacy.

Creating a Culture of Assessment: Norming rubrics to nurture IL instructional practice
Rubrics are powerful tools that provide structure to information literacy assessment. When multiple raters use a rubric, norming is crucial to facilitate agreement, identify misunderstandings, and minimize measurement errors. Facilitators will lead participants through norming a sample IL rubric, rating student work, and critiquing sample rubrics. We will conclude by examining the rubric creation process through the lens of our shared norming experience in order to provide essential hands-on practice for continued implementation.
Learning outcomes:
- Participants will practice norming a rubric and rating student work in order to facilitate their use of rubrics in their own campus settings
- Participants will examine and critique sample information literacy rubrics in order to develop rubrics in their own campus settings.
- Participants will begin to draft a rubric in order to measure student learning in their own campus settings.

If You Build It, They Will Come… and Succeed: Developing a Co-Curricular Workshop Series to Add Value to the Student Employee Experience
Academic libraries have a unique opportunity to contribute to the success of their student employees by teaching and developing skill sets necessary for students to be successful throughout their academic careers. This engaging workshop will provide participants with the framework and tools necessary to develop and implement a workshop program designed to supplement student employees' learning experiences at their own institutions in order to contribute to student academic success.
Learning outcomes:
- Participants will be able to articulate and justify the added value of a co-curricular workshop series designed specifically for student employees.
- Participants will construct a framework for creating a co-curricular workshop series at their own institutions.
- Participants will identify and establish a support group of peers from other institutions for the implementation and customization of a value adding program for student employees.

New Leadership for New Times: Diversity, Inclusion, and Cultural Competency as Required Skills
No matter the academic context you work in, an effective leader needs to incorporate diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency into their leadership portfolio. Changing demographics within our nation and our academic institutions will require successful leaders to exercise these competencies in a multitude of settings. This interactive preconference focuses on assisting leaders, managers, prospective leaders in becoming more proactive with diversity, culturally competency and the art of inclusion within their work environment and leadership situations.
Learning outcomes:
- Participants will come away with tools and concepts that strengthen their understanding of how key diversity is to the future success of libraries in order to better ensure thriving and robust organizations including learning new communication skills for themselves and with others that will prepare them for encouraging/supporting a more inclusive environment in their academic libraries/organizations.
- Participants will understand the benefits of diversity in libraries as well as the pitfalls of homogenous organizations in order to make the case at their libraries for greater inclusion
- Participants will be able to recognize how their own social identities influence their development of cultural competencies in order to be more effective leaders and collaborators

Tutorials Toolkit: Creating Sustainable Library Instruction
Through a variety of interactive activities, attendees will develop the concepts, framework, and skills needed to create a cohesive and sustainable suite of online video tutorials. Participants will be guided through the process by a team of librarians and the Creative Director of a professional video company with whom the librarians partnered on a two year grant project. Attendees will leave the workshop with a toolkit to craft their own collection of information literacy tutorials.
Learning outcomes:
- Through a series of hands-on exercises, participants will be able to build a suite of complementary online video tutorials that can be used at their institutions as a sustainable mode of library instruction.
- Participants will be able to translate student learning outcomes into outlines for videos that address both threshold concepts and concrete skills.
- Participants will be able to identify tutorial best practices in order to make tutorials accessible across learning styles, technologies, and disabilities.

Regional Biomass Energy Program
Established by Congress in 1983, the DOE's Regional Biomass Energy Program (RBEP) seeks ways to facilitate expanded use of biomass resources for the production of renewable transportation fuels and electric power. RBEP also supports bioenergy applications in the industrial and buildings sectors. RBEP has established a network of five regional offices (Southeast, Pacific Northwest, Northeast, Great Lakes, and Western) serving 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
RBEP aims to increase the production and use of biomass for energy by providing information, technical support, and other assistance, and by mitigating barriers to commercialization of biomass energy technologies. The program's long-term objectives are to:
- Improve the capabilities and effectiveness of state and local governments and industry in producing and using bioenergy
- Support resource availability and planning efforts
- Encourage economic development by investing in bioenergy technology
- Accelerate market acceptance of bioenergy technologies by reducing or eliminating market barriers and understanding economic and environmental costs and risks
Private, non-profit and public entities are eligible for funding. Funding amounts vary from region to region.
You can submit unsolicited proposals to the appropriate regional office in accordance with DOE Guide for Submission of Unsolicited Proposals. This guide is available online at www.netl.doe.gov/business/usp/unsol.html. Evaluation and award analysis will be performed by personnel at each regional office.

Bob Hayden of Hanover and Ray Kasperowicz of Cohasset rounded out the three and four slots in the Republican 10th Congressional District race.
Hayden gained 5 percent of the vote and Kasperowicz 4 percent. Had they not been in the race, second-place Joe Malone still would have been unable to overcome Jeff Perry's 61 percent.
While he enjoyed the run, Hayden isn't planning a future in politics at this time.
"With the congressional run, I was really moved to run," Hayden said in a phone interview Sept. 16. "It really was kind of a calling for me."
He doesn't have any regrets about his run. "I just wish I got more votes than laughs," he said.
He knew he was an "extreme long shot" when he entered the race in March, but felt he could provide an alternative to the career politicians. Hayden, who lives in Hanover and grew up in Hingham, was the "Average Joe" in the race. At more than one forum with all four candidates, he got the biggest communal laughs playing that role.
Kasperowicz said that he was surprised "and even a touch humilated" at his last place finish. Kasperowicz was the first Republican to enter the race, doing so in September 2009. He said that he believed then as he does now that citizen legislators are needed to help keep Congress ground
"I did it for all the right reasons," he said in a Sept. 16 interview. "I have no regrets about it."
Kasperowicz said that he's not certain about future runs for office. "It's too soon after getting drubbed" to think about, he said.

The Top 10 Funniest 'Right-Sided' Political Videos of 2012
What's your favorite?
January 9, 2013 - 12:00 pm
# 8. Ryan Girl, Let's Get Physical
A spoof on Obama Girl, this video is a lot of fun. You have to watch it multiple times to get all the clever song lyrics and clues in the background. For example, I just now noticed the cover of Atlas Shrugged on the bulletin board in the background, and I usually have a keen Atlas Shrugged radar that never fails me.
# 7. Steven Crowder Lena Dunham Parody
Funnyman and Fox contributor Steven Crowder sadly did not produce a ton of content this year — until he got punched by an union guy, but that wasn't really funny. He did manage to put on his hipster lesbian outfit for this parody of Lena Dunham's controversial commercial for the Obama campaign. I wish I'd had more of your videos to choose from this year, Mr. Crowder. Get busy!
# 6. Deck the Halls with Macro Follies
Economic issues can be so complicated and hard to relate to our daily experience. I love videos that make economics simple to understand, especially with humor.

Great Boat for Small Family
If you are looking for a step up from an entry level bow rider, but are not ready for a maximum bowrider, the 212 Captiva from Rinker should be on your list of boats to test.
Tested By Capt. Bob Smith
Rinker's line of boats for 2005 continues its tradition of delivering boats that are well thought out. It is obvious to the trained eye and most anyone else that these boats have the input of people who use them. You won't come off the boat with a laundry list of what you would do different.
Functional Features
Everyone will have a space for their drinks with 10 cup holders and they will all have a speaker close by with four standard speakers.
Snap-in carpet is standard is makes the floor on a hot day much easier to tolerate and simplifies cleaning after a great weekend on the water. Bucket seats on my test boat had a new ventilated back style with spring suspension seating. They even have a built in armrest at the shifter control so it is not tiresome to keep one hand on the throttle. Tilt steering is standard with the rack-and-pinion steering system.
The Faria gauges are backlit for easy night view, and a digital depth gauge is also standard as well as a 12vdc socket for charging your portable gear. These seats were very comfortable underway and took the sting out of jumping large wakes on landing.
Good Seating
The bench seating in the cockpit wraps from the port side just behind the companion seat all the way over to the walkthrough on the starboard side. Under the back side is a carry on cooler to keep the beverages ready and cool. Storage under the bench back here is also finished with roto-molded boxes. A storage space in the floor can handle skis and wakeboards as well as other long gear.
Transom Features
The broad sun pad is large enough for two to relax together in the sun. It doubles as an engine hatch which lifts easily and is supported with two gas assist shocks. Bright LED lighting in the cockpit is also used in here for light. There is a large bin to toss the wet life jackets in here to dry off using normal engine heat in the compartment. Space around the engine is plenty adequate to get to all your typical maintenance points on the engine. Under the walkthrough is another storage space for some large items. Our test model had the extended swim platform that really added a lot of play room at the stern. We also had the stereo remote to keep the tunes in control from back here.
About the only item I could find that I felt was a negative was the position of the bimini straps at the center of the back of the stern bench. The idea was good to move them away from the sides, but they dangle into the front of the engine when not in use. Rinker says they will work on a solution that allows them to keep it further away from the engine drive belt.
Rinker's 2005 Captiva 212 is 10'10" length on average with a trailerable beam of 8'6". The 212 has a draft of 22 inches with the outdrive down and 36 inches with the outdrive up. She needs five feet of overhead clearance under low bridges and weighs approximately 3,120lbs dry. She has a fuel capacity of 42 gallons and has a five year transferable hull warranty. Rinker offers either a Volvo 190hp Penta 4.3L GL with SX outdrive or a Mercruiser 4.3L 190hp sterndrive with Alpha outdrive as standard power plants or you may choose one of four Mercruiser or three Volvo optional power plants up to 300hp.
We took the Captiva 212 out with two people on board and 20 gallons of fuel on a fresh water lake for testing. Our test boat was powered with a Volvo 270-hp 5.0 GXi sterndrive with a single 19" four-blade prop on the SX outdrive. She cruised most economically at 3000rpm traveling 27.3mph with a fuel burn of 5.9gph and a range of 175 miles on a full tank. At wide open throttle we found she was turning 4950rpm. At maximum throttle the 212 was traveling at 51.6mph with a fuel burn of 20.9gph and a range of 93 miles. Our test model was quick to plane in just 3.1 seconds and was running along at 30 mph in just 7.6 seconds.
I found the 212 simple to work around the slips and very responsive underway. The 212 appears to be a great boat for a small family with the power and the amenities most need and look for. If you are looking for a step up from an entry level bow rider, but are not ready for a maximum bowrider, the 212 Captiva from Rinker should be on your list of boats to test before making your decision to buy.

Church cleans up Oak Park house in Habitat for Humanity project
Patricia Holtby watched in awe Saturday as 35 volunteers from St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church in Westlake Village removed large branches from her Oak Park yard for a Habitat for Humanity project to rehabilitate her house.
"This is like watching a movie," said Holtby, 63. "I can't believe what's going on here."
"We need to get rid of all the brush and weeds and bring the home back to clean and safe," said Felipe Flores, director of community engagement and family services for Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County. "There will be major landscape and driveway repair. It is old asphalt with ripples and cracks, which is a trip hazard for Patricia. We will rip it out and put in a brand-new concrete driveway to make it safe for her."
The house also was due to get a blue coat of paint and a new roof.
"I think I have the last wood shake roof in California," Holtby said. "When the brush fires come, in the 40 years of living here, I've gotten over the fear that flames will come and get my house, but the burning embers with the wind terrify me. The roof they are putting in will be fireproof."
Holtby moved into the house in 1968 with her mother, for whom she cared for nearly 30 years until her death in 2010.
"She was bedridden, diabetic, on oxygen, on a tube feeding, and I was never going to let a stranger take care of my mother," Holtby said.
In the process of caring for and lifting her, Holtby became disabled, and the house lapsed into disrepair.
"It's hard when you're a disabled senior and you live alone," she said.
Some of the neighbors aired concerns about Holtby's house, and they reached the ears of another neighbor, Lynn Rollo. Rollo began to research how to help Holtby.
After hitting walls with private contractors, she thought of Habitat for Humanity because her older son had met the organization when he helped out with Hurricane Katrina.
The nonprofit Habitat for Humanity, which builds and renovates houses for needy people, first had to decide whether Holtby met its income guidelines. After finding she did, the group spent about 1½ years working on getting the operation to commence.
"I was so happy when Felipe said they could do a lot of work for her," Rollo said.
Saturday's work was only the beginning, according to Flores.
Because the work is done by volunteers, the job will take several weeks.
Frank Blum, a leader at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church and at Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County, said the project was rewarding.
"We've actually had a lull in new construction so I really feel great that this can happen and in our area where the youth from St. Max can come out, which energizes everybody," Blum said. "It energizes the whole parish and the whole community."
Most of all, Holtby.
"I am so grateful," said Holtby, tearing up. "My only regret is that my mom isn't around anymore to see her house made nice again. She was my best friend."

President Obama keeps preaching about "common-sense" new federal laws that will end the senseless slaughter of innocents such as the massacre we saw at an elementary school in December.
He keeps tossing around statistics about how 90 percent of Americans embrace these simple new fixes. Eighty percent of those Neanderthal Republicans even agree.
He is talking about "common-sense" ideas such as "universal" background checks for all gun purchases, a ban on "high-capacity" gun clips and again making illegal "assault" rifles that are designed for the battlefield.
These ideas are so "common-sense" that not a one of them would have saved the life of a single child in Newtown, Conn. And for the president and his political operatives to suggest otherwise is not only ignorant and dishonest, but a desecration of the 20 little innocents killed that day by a crazed gunman.
Adam Lanza did not have access to guns because he had skirted background checks. He had access to them because his mother foolishly and recklessly taught him how to use them and allowed him to have access to them. As a parent and a gun owner, she should have known that her son was not stable enough for such recreation.
SEE ALSO: HURT: Newtown as political tool against guns
It is too bad she is dead. Were she alive, she could be prosecuted for her reckless disregard for so many innocent lives.
The problem with universal background checks is that they would make it illegal for a neighbor to sell or give a gun to a neighbor. And what about a responsible parent who buys a gun for his daughter or son when they come of the age and maturity to be trusted with such a huge responsibility? Would that be illegal, too, thus stamping out the single most important relationship to responsible gun ownership?
Another favorite "common-sense" idea from these people is limiting the size of magazine clips. Okay, so 15-round clips are banned but you can still get a 10-round clip. Does that mean these people favor allowing 10 children to be killed, just not 15? Of course, one 10-round clip in each hand means 20 rounds total. So, President Obama, does that mean you are cool with 20 dead children?
In the case of Lanza, the clip sizes were irrelevant anyway, we have since learned. That is because he switched out ammunition clips repeatedly — often without even using all the rounds in each magazine.
Then there is the most commonly repeated "common-sense" idea — also known as a "flat-out lie."
Despite what these people keep saying, "military-style assault weapons" have been banned in America for decades. Not since the days of Al Capone have fully automatic weapons been legal. And if President Obama and his political henchmen do not understand this, then their rank ignorance should forever silence them in this debate. If they do understand this, then they should be excluded for their willful lying.
These "assault weapons" bans do nothing but prohibit guns based on their cosmetic features. They have nothing to do with the actual functionality of the weapon. Nothing whatsoever.
And if guns are to be banned based solely on their appearance rather than their functionality, then certainly those same guns should be banned in Hollywood for the making of even fictional movies, right? Because if the problem is appearance rather than how the gun functions, the overwhelmingly vast majority of such sightings appear on the big screen — not in some law-abiding guy's little basement rec room.
The truth is, President Obama and his fellow politicians have no real plan for curbing gun violence. Twenty children were murdered by a psychopath and they smelled blood. And they did what politicians do. They used the poor dead children to push their political agenda.
