For the past two weeks, we've been taking a look at the future of warlock design -- a bit of clairvoyance on my part, with Blizzard's asking for player feedback of a similar nature this past week. First we looked at affliction's concerns, and then we talked about demonology. This week, we'll round out the series by discussing what might come of destruction, the current wayward child of warlocks.
It's easy to talk about the problems that destruction faces now, as they're things that we see inside of the game, yet damage balance is a very fickle mistress. Numbers can be tuned at the drop of a hat; whether they are or not is an entirely different matter. Dealing in numbers and figures really is a simple matter. This week's focus won't exclusively be on the damage disparity that destruction currently suffers from, but rather the mechanical difficulties and identity crisis that holds it back. Damage is meaningless when Blizzard could easily hotfix in a random buff or nerf without a moment's notice; again, it's more so a matter of if or when.
Redefining burst
Destruction has often been something of the black sheep for the community. While the history of destruction is rife with success in terms of damage and representative popularity, it's never really held the same communal love that we see for affliction or demonology. The spec is a bit mage-esque, focusing on direct damage instead of pets or DOT effects. This tends to polarize some players against it. Yet, at the same time, this focus has been what makes destruction unique among the warlock specs.
While warlocks as a class overall are stylized as disablers with a penchant for attrition, destruction has held a long history of focusing on burst. The image isn't so far-fetched, and it's this distinction that many players feel is missing. A lot of the burst damage of destruction has sort of, well, been toned down. At the start of the expansion, this wasn't so bad in terms of overall damage because the spec kept up fine, but now even that doesn't hold true, which leaves many of us wondering where the spec is going to end up.
Before this can go any further, we must first define what is burst. To many players, burst is merely the simple act of dealing large amounts of damage within the confines of an extremely short time frame. Usually, burst happens either instantaneously via a single spell or two spells that land together, or it's the damage possible during a CC effect such as a stun, which can last anywhere between 5 to 3 seconds.
In many ways, destruction once placed a large focus on the former, though it has been slightly shifted off to the latter. That, I feel, is destruction's largest issue: It is confused with itself. It is desperately trying to cling onto that large, single-spell burst style while somewhat being transitioned off into the latter form of burst.
Bursting out for a change
The reality is that burst is defined by the area of gameplay you're in and how each matters plays into that as well. PVE, just as PVP, has burst as well, though it is slightly different. In most PVE burst situations, the window is around 15 or 20 seconds instead of 3 to 5. In either, the damage you deal in the full time limit is all that matters; dealing massive amounts of damage in 5 seconds matters little if you can't keep up for 20 seconds.
As I said, destruction is being pushed off toward a new style of burst that players need to be accustomed with and which the development team needs to work the kinks out of. Conflagration is still a high-burst ability, though it isn't what it used to be. Yet aside from that one spell, destruction really doesn't have anything else. What it needs is to complete the transition away from relying exclusively on Conflag's burst and instead have a burst window that consists of several spells.
Much of this already exists. Conflag already procs Backdraft, which reduces nuke cast time by 30%. It's a great start, but the problem with destruction is that even its most basic nukes don't really hit all that hard. Incinerate hurts, but it isn't that much more painful than getting nuked by a demonology warlock. While I don't want the focus to shift towards this topic, there is also the concern that's destruction's current damage just isn't keeping up to par.
Backdraft holds all of the answers to all these problems. Instead of merely increasing casting spell, Backdraft should also increase the damage of our nukes, probably by the same 30% (although I've not gone into number balancing work). This creates the extension of burst damage that destruction needs. No, it isn't all balled up into one spell, but Blizzard hates that, and it leads to balancing issues. However, getting hit by a Conflag followed by three super-quick, juiced Incinerates or a Chaos Bolt will bring someone down and do it quickly. That, my friends, is burst, and that is what destruction should be about.
Fixing Chaos Bolt
Speak of Chaos Bolt, that brings about another glaring issue that has faced destruction for several years now. Chaos Bolt is a spell that has no life of its own. It merely is; it exists, but it doesn't quite understand why it exists. The damage that it deals is only slightly better than that of Incinerate, which makes it worth casting, but that is all that it is -- a nuke with a cooldown that deals slightly more damage than our primary nuke. If you removed Chaos Bolt from the equation, there'd be little to make up for. If affliction lost Haunt or demonology lost Hand of Gul'dan, that would create a pretty massive balancing and rotation hole to cover up, but Chaos Bolt? No one would even notice it were gone.
The factor of it piercing through absorption effects is a silly addendum to add into a spell; clearly, it was designed exclusively for PVP because this factor has little to no influence in PVE. It's silly to create an entirely new nuke that a player must spec into for such a limited purpose. If you're going to add something as impressive as Chaos Bolt into the game, make it worth having that title. Have it do something, anything!
Ideally, Chaos Bolt should be slightly interactive with the rotation. The easiest solution would just be to have it deal additional damage, or cause a buff on the player which increases damage, or debuff the mob hit to take additional damage. All great remedies, to be sure, but that's all been done; let's have something interesting.
Have Chaos Bolt explode to deal fire damage to targets within 10 yards if you hit a target debuffed with Immolate. Have it warp Corruption into shadow-flame damage if the target is afflicted by it. This is Chaos Bolt! It's uncontrolled fel-energy being blasted at someone's face! It should do a little bit more than simply sting them a bit. Piercing? Could be interesting if it had any practical use, but it doesn't, so why do we care? Oh, joy, we can be slightly more annoying to priests and paladins every 12 to 10 seconds! ... Pass.
This is not in my contract!
Another aspect of warlocks that Blizzard took more than a little time revamping this expansion was pets. All of the pets have their own variety of uses with different buffs, utility, or debuffs that they provide. Neat, but mostly useless for a majority of the warlock community, particularly destruction. Destruction has been a slave to the Imp as much as the Imp is our slave for over an expansion now, and it makes me question why Blizzard revamped pets the way that it did.
In some respects, it is understandable; only demonology has no talents or special interaction with a specific pet that forces them to use that particular demon. But the problem is that by shifting our class utility onto pets, having any spec require a certain pet to perform optimally now becomes a major issue.
If you run in a 10-man raid group, utility is a premium, especially things like interrupts. Warlocks have a pretty good interrupt, but it's tied to the Felhunter. The Felhunter also brings the additional mana and mana regeneration buff, both of which are far more important than players often realize, and it has a Purge effect, which hasn't been too prominent in this expansion but has held a key role in many previous encounters. Yet it is impossible for destruction players to bring the Felhunter; I'm sorry, not impossible -- you just lose thousands of DPS.
In many ways, warlocks don't have a choice in pets; we have a choice in specs. Need the Felhunter for this encounter? Don't just bring out the Felhunter, switch to affliction which uses it as its primary pet. Need the Imp? Switching to the Imp as affliction or, at this point, demonology is silly; just switch to destruction instead and now you'll be using the Imp anyway. Pets haven't become a utility choice; the specs that utilize the pet you want is the choice.
It makes sense that demonology would be the spec that offers the most versatility with pets, yet I really feel that is the wrong direction to take the class. When the warlock's primary utility comes from which pet they choose to bring out, pets should be optional, not spec-dependent. Destruction needs to have its total reliance on using the Imp removed. Instead of allowing demonology the freedom to use whichever pet it wants, give the Felguard new utility that is entirely unique, something that warlocks don't already posses.

STOCKHOLM (AP) - Americans Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller have won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Monday honored the three "for their empirical analysis of asset prices."
The Nobel committees have now announced all six of the annual $1.2 million awards for 2013.
The economics award is not a Nobel Prize in the same sense as the medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and peace prizes, which were created by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in 1895.
Sweden's central bank added the economics prize in 1968 as a memorial to Nobel.

Read about a band on Pitchfork, listen to them on MySpace, see them on YouTube, pay for a song on iTunes. Sound familiar? Here are 10 favorite sites that go beyond that web-surfing model.
Idolator (www.idolator.com). Snarky and pop-friendly, Idolator is an essential music blog that smartly addresses everything from the ongoing collapse of the major labels to the deleterious effects of band hype in the blogosphere.
All Music Guide (allmusic.com).The granddaddy of music-database sites, the continually updating AMG seeks to account for everything ever released.
Last Plane to Jakarta (www.lastplanetojakarta.com).Growing out of his LPTJ fanzine, Mountain Goats leader John Darnielle's site showcases his irregular thoughts on new and old releases, foregrounding both erudition and a sense of music's personal and social power.
KUCI (www.kuci.org).Orange County's best home for noncommercial radio started netcasting in 1996. With good design and programming helping visitors explore the station's schedule and the site's many extra features on music and talk shows, it continues to stand out.

Freaky Trigger (www.freakytrigger.co.uk).Founded by Tom Ewing as a late-'90s online music zine, Freaky Trigger has grown to become an all-embracing celebration of pop culture with many intelligent posters and commentators.
I Love Music (www.ilxor.com).When Ewing started I Love Music as a response forum for Freaky Trigger in 2000, he doubtless didn't realize it would turn into the most brilliant and dumb 24-hours-a-day music-discussion site ever.
Foxy Digitalis (www.digitalisindustries.com).Helmed by Digitalis label owners Brad and Eden Rose, this is one of the most important sites for experimental and psychedelic music fans, as well as a hub for discussion and discovery.
Plan B (www.planbmag.com).The glory days of the weekly U.K. music press in all its hype-driven-but-often-intelligent spectacle gets a tasteful after-echo in this monthly magazine and site overseen by Melody Maker vet Everett True.

Have you ever wondered what happened to Kathy Sledge of Sister Sledge?
Every now and then, you might see Sister Sledge perform on a TV special or something. However, when you see them, Kathy is missing. It made me wonder what happened to her although the group sounds great without her. Still, it's not quite the same because you have heard and seen Kathy sing lead performing with her sisters. When you see them perform, you want Kathy to be there too.
The good news is Kathy is still singing. So there is hope that she will get back to performing with her sisters. Kathy still has great charisma in singing and has kept that old style of singing meaningful songs. We need that back in music. It has been gone for too long now. Kathy Sledge is old school, and her old school will never die. You can see her right here on the reality show on her YouTube Channel theRealKathySledge.

This opinion responds to the inquiry about the use of proceeds from taxes imposed upon the sale of aviation fuel.
Taxes imposed on aviation fuel may be used only for aviation purposes.
|No. 90-10
AG Alpha No. EX AD AGARQ
August 31, 1990
The Honorable Roy Romer
State of Colorado
Colorado State Capitol
Denver, CO 80203
RE: Taxes Imposed on the Sale of Aviation Fuel
Dear Governor Romer:
This opinion letter responds to your April 26, 1990 inquiry about the use of proceeds from taxes imposed upon the sale of aviation fuel.
May proceeds from excise taxes imposed upon aviation fuel be used for purposes other than aviation?
Prior to 1974, Colo. Const. art. X, Section 18 required that all revenues from excise taxes on gasoline or other liquid motor fuel be used only for public highway purposes. This requirement obviously applied to all excise taxes on aviation fuel.
In 1974, the citizens of Colorado passed a constitutional amendment which removed the proceeds from taxes on aviation fuel from the Highway Users Tax Fund. The amendment provides in relevant part:
Any taxes imposed upon aviation fuel shall be used exclusively for aviation purposes.
This language was added to rectify an inequity. Fuel taxes in Colorado are based on a user benefit theory. The people who pay taxes for certain types of governmental services should also reap the benefits of those services. Prior to the 1974 amendment, taxes levied on aviation fuel could be used only for highways. As a result, the taxes on aviation fuel did not confer any benefit on those who paid the taxes. The amendment rectified this inequity. See 1974 Legislative Council of Colorado General Assembly, Research Pub. 206 at 19.
Where the language of the Constitution is plain and its meaning clear, that language must be declared and enforced as written. Colorado Ass'n of Public Employees v. Lamm, 677 P.2d 1350, 1353 (Colo. 1984). "When the wording of the constitutional provision is not overburdened with confusion or ambiguity, efforts to apply various rules of construction to obtain a different meaning are without justification." In Re Interrogatory of the House of Representatives, 177 Colo. 215, 217, 493 P.2d 346, 348 (1972); Colorado State Civil Service Emp. Ass'n v. Love, 167 Colo. 436, 448 P.2d 624 (1968). The language of the Constitution is clear and unambiguous. Aviation fuel taxes must be used "exclusively" for aviation purposes.
This interpretation is confirmed by the analysis in Johnson v. McDonald, 97 Colo. 324, 49 P.2d 1017 (1935). In discussing art. X, Section 18 as it existed prior to the 1974 amendment, the Colorado Supreme Court stated:
In our opinion the amendment of 1934 declared the object to which the funds arising from the excise taxes therein mentioned should be applied, namely, for road purposes, as distinguished from other governmental purposes, to which, just prior to the amendment portions of the fund had been diverted ....
97 Colo. at 346, 49 P.2d at 1028. Similarly, the power of the Legislature is limited to determining the aviation purposes for which the money derived from the sale of aviation fuel may be spent and authorizing the expenditures. Id.
My conclusion is in no way undermined by art. XXIV, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution, which sets aside for the old age pension fund certain revenues derived from "any and all excise taxes ... levied upon sales ... or on consumption of any commodity or product ...." Art. XXIV, sec. 2 was adopted in 1936. Where, as here, two constitutional provisions appear to be in conflict, the more specific, De'Sha v. Reed, 194 Colo. 367, 370, 572 P.2d 821, 823 (1977); Associated Students of University of Colorado v. Regents of University of Colorado, 189 Colo. 482, 485, 543 P.2d 59, 61 (1975), or the more recently adopted, In Re Interrogatories by General Assembly, 171 Colo. 200, 205, 467 P.2d 56, 59 (1970), provision controls. In this case, article X is both the more specific and the more recently adopted provision; it controls over article XXIV.
Taxes imposed on aviation fuel may be used only for aviation purposes.
Attorney General
AG Alpha No. EX AD AGA

Water: Clean Watersheds Needs Survey
CWNS 2004 Report to Congress
The Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 2004 Report to Congress (PDF) (166 pp, 1365K, About PDF) summarizes the results of EPA's 14th national survey on pollution control capital investment needs required to meet environmental and human health objectives of the Clean Water Act. The report provides vital information for Congress, state legislatures, communities and others to help them make informed decisions relating to clean water infrastructure and pollution control methods.
The 2004 Report estimates that nationwide capital investment needs for wastewater pollution control is $202.5 billion. This amount includes $134.4 billion for wastewater treatment and collection systems, $54.8 billion for combined sewer overflow corrections, and $9.0 billion for stormwater management. Small communities have documented needs of approximately $17.0 billion. The increase in overall national needs is due to a combination of population growth, more protective water quality standards, and aging infrastructure.

FUDBust: Unlikely. The cost of Sun's software, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per CPU, has not been the barrier to entry Sun believes it is. Its pricing has been competitive, and the server's performance is more than adequate for the enterprise. Rather, there are problems with Sun's strategy:
1. Sun is focusing on Solaris (of course) and Windows platforms for initial availability, with Linux and other *nix system support to come later this year. Placing support for Windows before Linux is a mistake, as Linux in the Web/app server space is outpacing Windows and has overtaken Solaris.
2. If you're going to try to enter the enterprise via developers, you'd better have one heck of a development environment to go along with the platform. In that regard, Sun is far behind the same competition it's trying to outpace in pricing and feature set.
Although Sun says it will address this issue with a developer platform later this year that includes better support for building Web services and Java Connector Architecture, the company is also charging $5,000 per developer for the right to use it. Not
only is that quite a chunk of change compared with offerings from the competition, it's also about a year too late.

LG LU6200 to pack 720p screen, dual-core Snapdragon, LTE 4G
updated 09:10 am EDT, Fri September 16, 2011
LG LU6200 slip promises high-end 4G Android phone
LG is prepping a very high-end Android flagship if a Korean scoop proves authentic. The LU6200 should be LG's foil to the Galaxy S II LTE with its own dual-core 1.5GHz chip, a Snapdragon, and the same 4G support. Its key difference would be the screen: its 4.5-inch display would jump to 720p and use LG's own AH-IPS, which should be both more color-accurate than a rival tech such as Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus and chew less power.
The design should also bring in an eight-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera, and a 1,830mAh battery to give it reasonable power. Extras beyond the usual could include NFC wireless for short-range tags and payments as well as DMB digital TV tuning in LG's native Korea. Choosing LTE and the large screen has left the phone being somewhat thicker than rivals, at 10.3mm (0.4in) thick.
The LU6200 could ship before the end of the year and might come in time for Android's Ice Cream Sandwich update. At first, however, it might only ship to Korea. Its design makes it a prime candidate to reach Verizon early in 2012, but this hasn't been verified. [via GSMArena]

to compare these costs to the value of the 1.9 GHz spectrum that the Commission awarded to Sprint.1 If
the true-up shows that the value of the 1.9 GHz spectrum exceeds Sprint's combined 800 MHz and BAS
relocation costs, Sprint must pay the difference in an "anti-windfall" payment to the U.S. Treasury.2
The 800 MHz Report and Order originally required Sprint to complete 800 MHz
rebanding in non-border areas within thirty-six months3 and provided that that the true-up would occur
within six months thereafter.4 The thirty-six month rebanding period expired on June 26, 2008, at which
time neither 800 MHz rebanding nor BAS relocation was complete.5 Accordingly, on June 25, 2008,
Sprint requested that the true-up – which was scheduled to occur on December 26, 2008 – be postponed
indefinitely until both 800 MHz rebanding and BAS relocation were complete.6 Noting that both
rebanding projects had been subject to unforeseen complexity and delay, Sprint contended that
conducting the true-up as scheduled would be premature and would fail to account for significant
rebanding costs that Sprint had yet to incur.7

Federal Communications Commission
In its December 2008 Fourth Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Commission granted
Sprint's request in part and extended the true-up date from December 26, 2008 until July 1, 2009.8 The
Commission found that circumstances had changed since the establishment of the initial true-up schedule,
and that neither 800 MHz rebanding nor BAS relocation had progressed sufficiently to justify conducting
the true-up as originally scheduled. However, the Commission declined to postpone the true-up
indefinitely, noting that Sprint could incur sufficient creditable costs before the completion of rebanding
to allow the true-up to proceed.9 The Commission therefore extended the true-up date until July 1, 2009,
and directed the TA to file a report by May 1, 2009, with its recommendation on whether rebanding had
progressed sufficiently that the true-up should be conducted on July 1, 2009, or whether it should be
further postponed.10 The Commission also delegated authority to the Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau (Bureau) to consider and grant further extensions of the true-up deadline based on the
TA's recommendation.11
The Bureau has previously exercised the delegated authority granted by the Commission
to extend the true-up deadline from July 1, 2009 until December 31, 2012, based on periodic reports and
recommendations by the TA.12 On November 15, 2012, the TA filed its most recent true-up report,
recommending that the true-up date be further extended from December 31, 2012 until July 1, 2012.13
The TA has indicated that, despite additional progress in rebanding since the last true-up
extension, Sprint has still not incurred sufficient rebanding expenditures to warrant moving forward with
the true-up at this time.14 We agree with the TA's analysis. While BAS relocation is now complete and
continued progress has been made in 800 MHz rebanding, a substantial number of licensees have yet to
complete the process.15 Therefore, we conclude that conducting a true-up of Sprint's rebanding
expenditures as of December 31, 2012, would be premature because it would fail to take into account a
large portion of Sprint's eventual cost obligation.
We therefore extend the true-up date until July 1, 2013, and direct the TA to file a report
by May 15, 2013, with its recommendation on whether the true-up should be conducted based on
rebanding expenditures incurred by Sprint as of July 1, 2013, or be further postponed. Should the true-up
be conducted based on expenditures as of July 1, 2013, the TA shall submit its final true-up report by
December 31, 2013. We emphasize that our action with respect to the true-up date is intended to have no
impact on any other aspect of the timetable for 800 MHz rebanding.

Event on Sunday, February 9, 2014 offers opportunity for general public to buy one-day tickets to waterpark only for $15; Proceeds will benefit Keep Sevier Beautiful and Sevier County Food Bank.
With winter in full swing, the Wilderness at the Smokies' waterpark resort is offering a fun event on Sunday, February 9 that will offer a chance for non-resort guests to enjoy its indoor waterpark, teach children some important tips about recycling and helping the environment in a fun setting, and assist two local charities with funding.
Beginning at 1 p.m., individuals will be able to purchase a $15 ticket to enjoy the Wild WaterDome Indoor Waterpark at Wilderness at the Smokies; the ticket price is for both adults and children ages three and older, as the money from the day's ticket sales will benefit two local non-profit organizations:
Keep Sevier Beautiful and the Sevier County Food Bank. The Wild WaterDome is normally only available to resort guests, but this event will allow others to enjoy a fun summer experience in the middle of winter and help great local charities at the same time. The waterpark will remain open until 8 p.m. that evening.
From 1-3 p.m., a special event called "The Recycling Games" will feature sponsors Alcoa, Food City, Hard Rock Café in Gatlinburg, Pepsi and Keep Sevier Beautiful highlighting fun facts about recycling and how children and families can make a difference by stepping up their environmental efforts in easy ways.
The first 500 children who participate in the recycling portion of the event will receive a goody bag with items from each of the sponsors.
Keep Sevier Beautiful's Executive Director Laura Howard says that the money they will receive from the event will allow them to purchase a trailer that the non-profit can take to events throughout Sevier County to make sure that materials are recycled and the events are litter-free. "Transporting supplies to each event to make sure that they are successful in keeping our county clean has been a challenge, but the trailer we will be able to purchase with the funds from this event at Wilderness at the Smokies will make it easy for us to help everyone keep our area beautiful. It was one of our goals this year to purchase this trailer, and this event being put on by Wilderness will make that possible – we are excited to be able to take care of this item at the top of our wish list so early in the year!"
Jim Davis, Executive Director of Sevier County Food Ministries, says the timing for a cash donation from the Wilderness at the Smokies event could not be more timely. "After the holidays, the need greatly increases and our supplies significantly shrink to serve our area's hungry, and the monies Sevier County Food Ministries receives from this event will help get us through the rest of this winter."

Elaine Bertha Brockman
July 23, 2013
By Contributor
Elaine Bertha Brockman (Cline), of Issaquah, died July 15 at the age of 98.
Elaine was born Dec. 11, 1914, in Sedro Woolley, the second of two children born to Arthur and Louise Cline.
Elaine was raised in Seattle and graduated from Lincoln High School. She met and married her future husband, Charles Clark Brockman, while both were employed by the Seattle Post Intelligencer. They married in 1938 and celebrated their 71st anniversary before Charles's death.
In 1948, they moved from Seattle to May Valley Road in Issaquah and built a house on 20 acres to raise their three children. In the 1970s, they sold most of their land, saving 5 acres on which to build a retirement home. Their two daughters also built houses next to them and continue to live on the contiguous property.
In the 1950s, Elaine taught beginning tap and ballet in Issaquah. She later worked for a few years at The Boeing Co., where she took up bridge during the lunch hour. That led to a lifetime of travel to many tournaments and many years as a bridge instructor on cruises. She achieved a life masters several times over and was well-known and well-liked within that community.
Elaine is survived by her daughters Sharon (Antovich) Brockman, of Issaquah, and Charlene and husband Jack Faircloth, of Issaquah; son Charles Jr., of Seattle; four grandchildren — Rocky, Todd and Zachary Antovich, of California, and Jason Faircloth, of Nevada; and nine great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Charles and sister.
Her memorial service will begin 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 24, 2013, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 220 Mountain Park Blvd. S.W., Issaquah, WA 98027, with Father Todd Strange officiating. A reception in the church narthex will follow.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to St. Joseph Catholic Church, Issaquah.
Friends are invited to share memories, view photos and sign the family's online guestbook at www.flintofts.com. Arrangements are by Flintoft's Funeral Home, 392-6444.

It's a plot by Obama and Holder to take our guns. Instigate an uprising, then they'll use that as an excuse.
News recently came out showing more on Obama and the Benghazi coverup. So yeah, conspiracies. Not all that out there.
Can never get enough of that Benghazi. Well, now that I think about it...maybe Chemtrails. Benghazi or Chemtrails?...Whatever, doesn't matter, it's all cuz of Obama....whatever it is, it's cuz of Obama. Oh and BTW....BENGHAZI!!.....Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.
This poster (first two posts...) sounds very familiar. Looking to stir up some more.
Actually Katharina, I've been a member for sometime. I've been quiet here and with exception to this thread, I'll probably remain so. I'm just amazed at what some people will allow themselves to believe. The stuff I've read here reads like material ripped straight from an Alex Jones show...it's hilarious, idiotic but hilarious.
Yeah, there are some emails from a political person in the administrationthey talked about the provocative video and to use that as an explanation for the violencebut they weren't specifically talking about Benghazi, but middle east in general, which is why it wasn't released earlierthe video did precipitate violence in the regionand it would be better for Obama's re-election if the violence was caused by the video rather than policy in general. That's what a political person should do, help Obama get elected.I saw documentary about Jimmy Carter. They seperated policy and political people. Then Reagan got elected. And it's been downhill from there. Political people - don't seperate political and policy, they're related!!!
terrible spin. You forgive Obama murder and cover ups.
There have been terrorist attacks at embassies during every recent presidentThe right wing has this strategy to "investigate" liberals as an attempt to gain political powerI can't believe you've fallen for their evil plan : )My conclusion about Nixon and Watergate is to not break law, break into opponents office and get political info, and try to cover it up.The right wing's conclusion is that if you "investigate" your political opponent you can gain political power
More interesting side notes about our terrorist patriotshttp://www.splcenter.org/blog/2014/04/30/back-at-the-bundy-ranch-its-oath-keepers-vs-militiamen-as-wild-rumors-fly/Lol.......time to sit back and have some popcorn and watch the usual
"There have been terrorist attacks at embassies during every recent president"Did other recent president's staffs run around blaming youtube videos and denying they were terrorist attacks to help themselves look good?Did other president's have the chance to help out sat around doing nothing?
You might want to look at all the attacks that happened under Bush's watch....sigh. And please don't respond with Afghanistan and/or Iraq.
The inflamatory video wasn't until the Obama presidentcy so it couldn't have affected previous presidenciesDuring the Reagan presidency, they blew up the Lebanon embassy killing hundreds of U.S. marines, then we pulled out. I can't imagine what the right wing crazies would say if Obama did that.Hilary asked for more funding for security at embassies but Rs and Ds cut funding. Why don't they investigate themselves?Rather than just having strategy to hurt opponenets, why don't the Republicans find some things they can compromise on? Like immigration reform. Boehner and Ryan said they were willing to do this, then they had a private meeting, then they said they couldn't "trust Obama to enforce border security". What could they say, "my right wing crazy members won't go along with any reform"? Obama has increased border security so that is a bogus argument. What's funny is, there are now serious discussions about whether Obama can be trusted to enforce border secuirty. I feel like screaming at the TV - "PEOPLE, THAT'S JUST A BOGUS RATIONALIZATION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ADMIT THEIR FELLOW MEMBERS ARE CRAZY!!!"
Can't you just admit your boy in the oval office had his people running around lying to cover his ass? The administration knew it wasn't about the video and they still lied about it to keep from looking bad at a critical time.Admit he could have sent in help and left our guys to die.You can run off on tangents all day. It doesn't change the facts. We aren't talking about borders or immigration.
#1 - it's inappropriate to call a black man a boy#2 - his people are all about politics and will try to say things that will help him get re-elected. So is anyone that ever gets re-elected. #3 - there was a horrible video and Muslims protesting in Egypt. Reasonable for the Obama people to consider this. Them condeming the video may have reduced violence. That's what's called dimplomacy.#4 - I don't think there was anyone that could have helped. How long was it from when the Benghazi people sent out the word to when they were killed? I have heard military people say there wasn't enough time to send help.#5 - borders and immigration are a good example of where the Republicans could find compromise but instead have chosen to just make up stuff against Obama that they think may "stick on the wall"You reasonable Republicans out there, take back your party from these crazies!
1. Get a life. I called your candidate "your boy" as in the guy you constantly support regardless of the facts/issues. Please quit race baiting like Ken.2. Right....his people. Like his closest people acted without his knowledge or approval or okay.3. BS. That is the issue and the lies have been proven to be just that.4. There was plenty of time to try and respond. Lovell "He later said the military "could have made a response of some sort." Lovell, who was stationed in Germany during the attack, made clear repeatedly that the military was waiting for clearance from the State Department to intervene in Benghazi."5. irrelevant here.
Jerry...if this was Facebook I would have "liked" both of your posts. Well done
1 - Go ahead and call black men boys. I guess our generation will have to die off before we go one level closer to accepting all people.2 - His political people act with his knowledge, of course.3 - Do you deny that there were people in Egypt protesting that video? I don't think there's any controversy about that. Then I think it was reasonable of people to think maybe there was similar protesting in Benghazi. And if the Obama people publically condemmed the video, maybe it would tend to dampen the violence.4 - I don't remember the source, but I thought the military people said there wasn't enough time. Of course there are many military (and non military) people with different opinions. The people in charge in Germany would be good to listen to. 5 - I think that's exactly the point here. The right wingers are just opposed to liberals and think the best strategy is to look at any event and figure out how they can blame it on Obama, rather than try to find compromise.
As far as foreign policy I think Romney would have been even worse.....,but this administration is shameful nonetheless. The less of two evils isn't even close to good enough for me. This administration is now responsible for starting a new Cold War with Russia, without a shred of a debate. To me this is just one of many international disasters that will haunt us for years.http://m.thenation.com/article/179579-cold-war-against-russia-without-debateJust like republicans should reign in their nutty extremists, the left needs to reign in it's warmongers, among others.
1. Kiss my ass Jerry. It is only YOUR generation that considers that racist. I grew up calling my friends "my boys". It doesn't matter what color they were. I didn't even consider it a racist thing until a left win extremist got all puffed up at the chance to scream racist. 2. Exactly3. NOBODY believed the video nonsense. The military personnel (that report to Obama) said it came up and was immediately dismissed. Quit reaching - it just makes you look foolish.4. Yep...what I said.5. Jerry, nobody would blame Obama for a terrorist attack happening on his watch. Some question his lack of reaction. Many question his administration's lies about what happened. Many continue to question it and he is still covering it up and pretending he didn't know. That is the issue. We don't need compromise. What happened to the promised transparency?

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) - Six-foot waves from Hurricane Alex have damaged a new, $4.6 million system meant to prevent oil from flowing into Perdido Bay.
The structure is composed of more than 3,000 feet of long steel pipes that are strung together in Perdido Pass between dozens of pilings in Orange Beach.
But the city's coastal resources manager, Phillip West, said Thursday about 800 feet of the protective system began coming apart when thick bolts started shearing off in heavy seas. Workers took apart other sections to prevent further damage to the system, which wasn't yet finished.
West says the steel booms should be back in place with thicker bolts by Saturday. He says not much additional oil entered the bay because of the failure.

What is the cha cha method?
Nov 27, 2012
I'm interested in using my Canon 7D for doing some 3D photography. I am familiar with the stereophotomaker software and have experimented a bit with reasonable results, but I would like to do as good a job as possible.
My question is will someone please give a good description of the cha-cha method? Is this done by shifting the camera from eye to eye, by swaying side to side, or by using a mechanical device like a slide?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer.

Miley Cyrus Has Bleached Her Eyebrows! See the Shocking Photos
Miley Cyrus revealed another drastic look when she partied in Los Angeles on Tuesday night … bleached eyebrows!
In photos she posted on Instagram, the "Wrecking Ball" singer showed off her new look while posing with Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr and British singer Lily Allen. Miranda reposted her pic with the caption, "the gorgeous @MileyCyrus."
For Lily's Instagram snapshot, she received the infamous tongue-out treatment from Miley.
Miley's photographer friend, Mert Alas, also sneaked a pic with the queen of twerk.
On Monday night, the Bangerz artist snuggled up to her puppy with eyebrows intact. We can't expect anything less of Miley to have a spontaneous fashion moment.
Are you a fan of the almost-invisible-eyebrows look?

PASCO — Quarterback Jeremiah Cox threw four touchdown passes — three to wide receiver Joe Duehn — and Luke Fazzari rushed for 114 yards and a pair of scores as DeSales overcame first-quarter deficits of 7-0 and 12-7 to post a 42-18 victory over White Swan in Class 2B state playoff football action Friday night at Chiawana High School.
The Irish defense also played a key role in the triumph. DeSales allowed just 152 yards in quarters two through four after yielding 214 in the first period.
Next up for the Irish will be a quarterfinal encounter with Lind-Ritzville-Sprague this upcoming weekend. The Broncos toppled Tekoa-Oakesdale-Rosalia, 42-14, on Friday night.
The game time and location are yet to be determined.
Cougar running back Alex Sampson put DeSales in an early hole on Friday night with a 78-yard touchdown run around left end just 23 seconds into period one.
"They came out and got after us," DeSales coach Mike Spiess said. "Our tackling deficiencies showed up."
The Irish countered with an Andrew Elmenhurst kickoff return of 33 yards to the White Swan 40-yard line and a five-play march to the Cougar 2.
But on the sixth snap of the possession, White Swan pounced on a DeSales fumble to end the threat.
The Cougars then drove to the Irish 32 before relinquishing the ball on a bobble of their own.
It took DeSales just two plays to cash in the mistake. Cox hit Ryan Baumgart with a bomb down the left sideline that ended up as a 62-yard touchdown after Baumgart broke an attempted tackle by White Swan's Hugo Barajas at the Cougar 30.
Paul Elmenhurst followed by authoring the first of six successful PAT kicks on the night to give the Irish a 7-6 edge at the 4:34 mark.
Niko Nanez gave White Swan its last lead of the game on a 38-yard scoring rush with 2:45 on the clock.
"We came out slow," Duehn said. "We didn't come out ready."
DeSales took the lead for good with 9:48 left in the second quarter. Cox connected with Duehn for a six-point toss of 24 yards on a fourth-and-8 play to give the Irish a two-point margin, 14-12.
"They took it to us on the first snap," Cox said. "I thought we responded with intensity in the second quarter and did what we wanted."
The Irish came out of the halftime locker room and immediately established a two-score game. DeSales chewed up 56 yards of real estate in just four plays after recovering an on-side kick. Cox hooked up with Duehn for the final 27 yards with 9:59 remaining in the third quarter that resulted in a 21-12 advantage.
DeSales put the game farther out of reach in the fourth quarter. Cox and Duehn teamed up for a 41-yard touchdown play on the first play of the period.
Fazzari crashed into the end zone from a yard out with 7:26 left to bring the tally to 35-12.
"Once we got rolling, we got comfortable," Duehn said.
Sampson scored on a one-yard run with 5:05 to go and Fazzari added a three-yard burst with 2:30 to play to end the night's scoring.
"Our response (to the early Cougar momentum) was great," Spiess said. "We played hard and persevered.
"I liked the way we finished the game," he said. "When we needed to run the ball, we ran the ball."
Cox completed 12-of-22 passes for 222 yards. Duehn had five receptions for 107 yards and Baumgart added 90 yards on five catches.
Defensively, the Irish recorded nine tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
"We had to tackle lower, wrap up and play DeSales football," Duehn said. "The 'D' line did a great job and the linebackers did too, which makes it easy for (the defensive backs)."
Now the quarterfinal round awaits.
"They're a tough team," Duehn said of Lind-Ritzville-Sprague. "It will be a good test, but I think we can pass it."

UC Davis autism researchers Sally J. Rogers and Judy Van de Water will present a free public talk on clinical and research advances in autism spectrum disorder from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 16, in the UC Davis MIND Institute auditorium, 2825 50th St. in Sacramento.
Rogers, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, is the creator of the highly regarded Early Start Denver Model method of early intervention for autism spectrum disorder.
She will discuss a program at a Sacramento-area high school to foster friendships and social ties between teens with autism and their typically developing peers. She also will provide updates on the progress of her research into developing effective interventions for infants and toddlers with autism and their families.
Van de Water is an immunologist and professor in the department of internal medicine whose research examines the role of the immune system in autism. She is the director of the UCD Center for Children's Environmental Health, which seeks to better understand the effects of environmental exposures on children's health.
Van de Water's research has identified that specific antibodies target fetal brain proteins in the blood of some women whose children are later diagnosed with autism. It is the first to pinpoint a specific risk factor for a significant subset of autism cases, as well as a biomarker for drug development and early diagnosis.
The panel also will feature two community members, Antoinette and Fallon O'Neill. Fallon O'Neill will discuss his transition to adulthood with high-functioning autism in the academic and working worlds. He attends Sacramento City College and works part-time at Nugget Markets. His mother, Antoinette, will share her experiences helping her son navigate the complexities of participating in the state of California's Workability program and finding and maintaining employment.

ATLANTA – Sonny Estopare of Hiram took the mound at the Atlanta Braves game Wednesday as the winner of a Georgia Lottery promotion. The promotion was held to celebrate the launch of the new Georgia Lottery Braves™ instant game.
"It was a lot of fun," said Estopare, 24. "I grew up playing Little League Baseball, so throwing the first pitch at an Atlanta Braves game is a dream come true for me."
Estopare threw a perfect pitch. The crowd cheered as the ball soared across home plate to Atlanta Braves™ catcher Brayan Peña.
"It was an exciting moment that will last a lifetime," Estopare said.

I'm taking a business trip to San Antonio in mid-May and wondered if anyone knew of good hiking close by? I'll have my wife with me so no overnights--just day hiking. Thanks.
I think your best bets would be Lost Maples State Park and Enchanted Rock. My family did the rock without me and enjoyed it. If your wife is along you might consider doing the river walk in San Antonio as an evening activity. Apparently its the place to go if you visit there. I never did it but my dad used to take my mom on dates there.
Edited by Cameron on 03/11/2013 11:59:02 MDT.
If you can drive an hour and some change Pedernales Falls State Park is a good place. The drive itself would offer a nice tour of the hill country, along with a hike making for a pretty pleasant day. And in mid-May the area (usually) isn't scorching hot yet!
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 11:18:09 MDT.
Natural ridge caverns is close, cool, and unique. I live in Fredericksburg. Enchanted rock is very unique and the wife will love main street Fredericksburg. Trust me.Lost maples is best in the fall. On the drive to the park you will not think you are in Texas. Government canyon is close and a good taste of the hill country.
Been in San Antonio 57 years and never saw more snakes in may than in any other month...Pedernales state park has been hit harder by the drought than the other parks. We've had good rain in enchanted rock area.

Isabel Marant Is Her Own Muse, And Hates That Everyone Copied Her Sneaker Wedge
As the story reports, the Marant headquarters itself acts as a source of inspiration, as it's filled to the brim with "cool women." This internal bevy of style stars may also be what dictates the brand's appeal, dressed in clothing that's womanly, comfortable, and appropriate for knocking everything off their to-do list, yet remaining chic.
Marant also touches on a bit of controversy in the Telegraph report, as she addresses her frustration over the popularity of the sneaker wedges that once were solely attributed to her, (but soon blew up once spotted on every editor and fashion blogger on the web). "As soon as you have an idea, it's copied and you don't like it in a minute," she also states in regard to the interweb's effect on the fashion industry. But with Marant's designs coming from such an honest and instinctual place we're sure she has nothing to worry about. Read more of Marant's feedback on the fashion industry, and why she once claimed that "fashion was all that I hated" (granted, she was 15) in the link ahead. (Telegraph UK)
