Trader Vic's: Famous cocktails
Trader Vic's is a popular touristic bar in Muscat, located at InterContinental Hotel. The bar is famous for its cocktails. You can take the little figures coming with your drinks as souvenirs. You can listen to live music and dance. Meals are also served if you want more than just drinks.
Dress Code: No tuxido required, but don't come with shorts...
Al Ghazal Pub
Al Ghazal Pub is known as the best bar in Muscat. Located on the lobby level of the expensive InterContinental Hotel, the bar is full of expats and even quite a few locals who consume their share of the devil water.
During my short stay in Muscat, I went to the pub twice, one evening I stopped in during happy hour, and I enjoyed a few happy hour priced Kilkenny beers which were still expensive at 2.900 OMR ($7.50 US). I also bought a Stella for my friend for 2.500 OMR ($6.50 USD). During my hour here, I was entertained by what almost turned out to be fight between the bartender and a customer, caused by one of the old British expats who was a instigator.
I returned a few afternoons later around 2pm, and was surprised to find the bar was full of local Omanis, all with beer in hand, some playing pool. I again had a Kilkenny, but was disappointed to see the non-happy hour price was ridiculously expensive at 3.600 OMR ($9.35 US).
Al Ghazal has live music most nights, quiz night, and soccer games on TV.
Shangi La's Piano Lounge - South of Muscat
The Shangri-La's Piano Lounge has a stuffy, fancy indoor area with a huge bar and live piano performances nightly. Outside if a much more casual second-floor deck overlooking the pools and beaches of the resort. This is a good place to get reasonably priced drinks -- OMR 2.200 (US $6) for Tiger beer and other varieties. They also offer free nuts and olives, and they have a small menu with light snacks.
The music is OK, but a bit odd to hear old rock songs sung to the piano.
I'd rather spend my time at one of the more casual bars down by the pools and the water, unfortunately they close earlier in the evening, while the piano lounge stays open until 2am.
Outdoor restuarants in Mutrah: Outdoor restuarants
Nightclubs and discotheques are found in the larger hotels, and alcoholic beverages are served only in these hotels and licensed restaurants.
But except from the alcohol, you can get a feeling of the nightlife when you are sitting in one of the outdoor restuarants in Mutrah and see all people passing by.
- Arts and Culture
- Backpacking
- Food and Dining
John Barry Bar: Night mood
John Barry is the bar of the Muscat Grand Hyatt
Excellent decoration, in fact when inside you get the feeling you are aboard one old ship, with all those dim light effects, wooden covered walls.
There is a magnificent singer/piano player sometimes accompanied by a sax player.
They play mostly oldies in an extremely romantic mood.
Drinks are good, but food is excellent. All Italian menu, and I suggest trying the "Branzino" Sea bass.
What I personally didn't like was strong smell of cigars.
Dress Code: Anything goes
Casual or formal, even locals were wearing their usual Dishdasha (Arab men's wear)
- Wine Tasting
- Food and Dining
CCC mall: nargileh with the locals
CCC mall is supposed to have a good nargileh cafe - however, when we got there, during Eid, it was closed. Fortunately the parking lot was ful of locals, so we asked them about where to go... someone walked us to the back of the mall, where a small nargileh cafe was open...
needlessto day: the shisha was wonderful, the tea memorable and there were plenty of backgammon boards available for the guests' entertainment. Only local people were there...
Dress Code: it's better to dress modestly
the beach: sunsets...
Muscat, I believe, is not exactly noted for its buzzing nightlife... add to it the fact that we went during ramadan, and you have the complete picture. Not much was going on, and yet we had moments of amazing grace watching the sun go down on the beach. yes, sunsets were amazing, and made up fully for the "dead" nightlife.
Dress Code: Whatever... maybe it's better to dress somewhat modestly
- Architecture
Copacabana: Copacabana in Muscat
Copacabana is a nightclub and maybe the only one in Muscat that is of International standard. The nightclub is situated at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in the Shatti Al Qurum area of Muscat.
The club plays all sorts of music ranging from Hip Hop, R n B, Soul, Dance, African, Arabic and sometimes Indian Hits. It is very popular with the locals and foreigners alike.
Thursday nights are the busiest, with large queues on the door.
Remember guys especially gentlemen, the club is strictly couples only but late at night the doormen relax this rule and allows men in without a date. This rule for gentlemen can be avoided if you belong to an aflfuent and rich family in Muscat.......which is how alot of things work in this city or should I add country.
Dress Code: Dress code is casual...no sandals and no shorts. Jeans are allowed.
- Music
- Work Abroad
- School Holidays
Al Ghazal Pub: Rugby and Beer
We stumbled across an English-style pub @ the Intercon, and ended up staying to watch a replay of the NZ vs England game which had been played the night before.
The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly - the crowd was a mixture of Omani men and expats.
We didn't eat anything - eatings cheating after all. But some Glasgow lads we were drinking with said the food was pretty good - the prices looked high though.
Dress Code: Tidy - I wore jeans.
- Beer Tasting
Copacabana: Drinkies
Located at the Hyatt Muscat. Starts to fill up around midnight. Beer and shots are reasonably priced compared to the Hilton. Example: OM 8 for 2 beers and 2 shots.
Dress Code: smartish casual clothes

Pleasure boat crew commended for professional conduct after guest taken ill on Truro River trip
/ News
The inshore lifeboat from Falmouth was called to a wedding party on board a pleasure boat on Saturday after a passenger suffered a suspected heart attack.
The RNLI was sent to the Truro River near Malpas just after 5.30pm after the boat Moyana sent a VHF call reporting a medical emergency, and ambulance paramedics were also tasked to meet the boat at the landing stage at Malpas.
Upon the lifeboat's arrival, the Moyana was already alongside the pontoon berth and a paramedic was on board making an initial assessment.
An RNLI spokesperson said: "Two lifeboat crew volunteers trained in casualty care were placed on board the Moyana to assist with the treatment of the casualty. The inshore lifeboat's stretcher was then used to transport the casualty ashore to an ambulance which had by then arrived on scene.
"The skipper and crew of the Moyana are to be commended for the professional way in which they handled the incident ensuring that the casualty was able to receive medical treatment as quickly as possible."

looks nice and round now sand sand sand and careful painting
looks nice and round now sand sand sand and careful painting
DICE Los Angeles
Glazing and spot putty will shrink like crazy and takes forever to dry with an application like that. I only use it for filling the very few pinholes that get past my filler and primer steps. When you spray over it with primer, it softens and shrinks back into the sandscratches below. I'd sand it off and get that surface perfect with just bondo.
Spot putty is for filling in pin holes and rock chips etc. It is not strong enough for what you are doing.
I buy bondo by the gallon and I get the Rage Gold brand because it is a good brand.
For every cup of bondo add a teaspoon of hardener. Mix mix mix mix so it is all one color. Bondo chemically dries and it will be hard enough to re-shape in about 3 minutes then hard enough to finish sand in about 10. Still let it dry for about 1 hour before applying primer. Apply a nice two part epoxy primer to really seal the panel and sand it smooth with 600 grit wet or dry sand paper using a water bottle to keep it wet as you sand. This provides the very best and smoothest surface.
Most of you guys are using spray cans so getting a two part epoxy primer is probably not going to work for you. What I would suggest is when you get the surface PERFECT and ready for primer, take it down to a body shop and have them prime and paint it for you. They'll probably charge you $50.00 to do a nice job. Most shops have a lot of left over paint so if you tell them you just want a basic silver or black or something and are not particular about an exact color, then they will not have to charge you extra for the paint.
a few primer coat and paint
that's the best i ould come out with
That looks really nice man, any closeups?

Johnny Manziel leaves Manning Passing Academy early
Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel left the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana early due to illness. Manziel had been serving as a college coach and advisor but missed assigned meetings and practice sessions due to a reported illness.
However, there are rumors that Manziel was asked to leave by Archie Manning, and that his illness was the result of late nights out on the town -- rumors that a Manning Passing Academy spokesman denied in a statement.
"Johnny Manziel did participate in some activities in the 2013 Manning Passing Academy as a college counselor/coach," read the statement. "After missing and being late for practice assignments, Johnny explained that he had been feeling ill. Consequently, we agreed that it was in everyone's best interest for him to go home a day early."
Peyton Manning told ESPN.com that he "enjoyed meeting Johnny" and that he wants Manziel to "come back as a counselor next year." Manning also pointed out that his brother, Eli Manning, missed a meeting when he was a counselor at the camp years ago, and that counselors leave early on a regular basis.
Manziel apologized to camp officials for having to leave early.

A man was found dead in the woods near an East Anchorage gas station on Sunday, police said.
The mother of 43-year-old Jesse Gunlik Jr. called police to report that she had found her son's body about 100 yards north of the Holiday gas station on Boniface Parkway and DeBarr Road, Jennifer Castro, police spokeswoman, wrote in an email.
Gunlik's mother, Lucy Gunlik, told police she believed her son may have been consuming windshield wiper fluid as well as antifreeze, but Castro said there was no antifreeze was discovered as evidence in the case.
Two bottles of windshield wiper fluid were found near the body, Castro wrote. One bottle was empty, and the other was full. An autopsy is pending, but Castro said there were no immediate signs of foul play.
Lucy Gunlik also told police that a friend of Gunlik's, Richard Rivers, had recently died near the same location. Castro said that Rivers, 33, was found lying near the entrance to the Holiday station on Friday.
Medics responded about 9:56 a.m. and took Rivers to Alaska Native Medical Center, where he died later in the day, said Greg Wilkinson, spokesman for the state medical examiner's office.
An autopsy was performed Monday on Rivers, including a toxicology screening, Wilkinson said. Those results are expected to be returned in four to six weeks.
In Rivers' death, there were also no immediate signs of foul play, Castro said.
The deaths were first reported by KYUK radio in Bethel. The station said both men were originally from Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta communities, Rivers from Hooper Bay and Gunlik from Kipnuk.

'Hatching Twitter' a gossipy book that serves a purpose
Once upon a time, books about American inventor-founders were invariably reverential. Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Samuel Morse and the Wright brothers were depicted as men who lived among us but were unlike us: geniuses with a practical vision, who could see a future that others could not. The founder, moreover, was usually virtuous and patient, tolerating years of lonely experimentation before finally finding redemption and success.
That's decidedly not how the story is told in Nick Bilton's captivating and fast-paced Hatching Twitter. His book joins The Accidental Billionaires (Facebook) and The Everything Store (Amazon) as treatments of highly successful tech firms with far less veneration than was once traditional. The founders of Twitter – Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass and Christopher Stone – are, we find out, a collection of mediocrities, narcissists and mopers who seem to spend as much time on scheming, self-promotion and self-destruction as on anything else.
There is no founding genius in this story, for Twitter's invention was not, in Bilton's account, the kind of great leap forward one associates with the light bulb or the iPhone. In 2006, the four founders were working for a dying startup named Odeo when they launched Twitter as a side project and something of a Hail Mary pass.
Based on a brainstorming session, they decided to build a mobile-phone version of the "status updates" popularized by AOL.
Twitter's subsequent growth into a global publicity machine seems to have happened almost by accident, as users found purposes the founders never envisioned, muddying the question of who invented Twitter as we know it.
If there was a visionary moment, it might have been coming up with the name, chosen by Glass, who was later fired. Thinking about brain impulses led Glass to look up "twitch" in the dictionary; he kept going until he found "twitter," described as "the light chirping sound made by certain birds," which came with the verb form "to tweet."
Nor is Twitter's story one of elegant execution; at least as Bilton tells it, the company lurched from one operational fiasco to another, though one does suspect that management must have been doing more things right than the book lets on.
If there is little sign of genius or invention in Bilton's tale, there is even less of virtue. Schoolchildren were taught to revere Bell and Edison, but it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to emulate the Twitter founders, with the exception of the even-keeled Stone. As Bilton sees him, Glass is an erratic moper given to panicked screaming at work, drunken media leaks and hijacking of engineering time; he gets fired early.
Williams gets some credit for his free-speech principles and for hiring general counsel Alex Macgillivray, who resisted government intrusions and safeguarded Twitter's role as a tool for dissidents. Yet Williams is also depicted as a slow and indecisive leader, who spends months debating whether to buy the Tweetdeck platform, costing the firm millions. He cannot appreciate his ineffectiveness and has no awareness of the plot to oust him.
But it is Dorsey who is cast as the book's villain, a shameless schemer and desperate narcissist whose fame, Bilton suggests, is premised on deceptions.
As Twitter's first chief executive, he is incompetent and inept – "like the gardener who became the president," committing such basic operational errors as failing to ensure that the site had a backup.
Given three months to prove himself, Dorsey, instead of fixing constantly crashing servers, decides to invest in a fancy 2008 election website.
He is fired and demoted to "passive chairman." But instead of retreating, he starts a whisper campaign to destroy Williams, the new chief executive. Meanwhile, relying on the gullibility of the tech press, he credits himself as Twitter's sole "founder, inventor, architect and creator," and later instigates a media campaign to have himself considered "the next Steve Jobs."
Bilton has said in an interview that he was among those duped by Dorsey's "sole inventor" fable, which may in part explain why his account is so damning. This time, Bilton seems determined to set the record straight.
The strength of his book is that it does an excellent job of depicting the emotional atmosphere at West Coast startups: a cycle of exhilaration and hopelessness shadowed by the persistent fear of missing out.
The painful dying days of Odeo, marked by constant firings, are well contrasted with the giddiness as Twitter gains users, wins awards and suddenly has the Russian president and Snoop Dogg hanging out at its headquarters.
As for missing out, pity poor Glass, who, after being fired in 2006, cannot escape hearing about the company he named or the billions his old friends made.
In comparison, Sisyphus got off easy.
There's no other way to put it: This is a gossipy book. Bilton prefers personal drama and embarrassing stories to strategic or technological details. The focus on personalities, conflict and resolution is borrowed from the scriptwriter's manual, and while it makes for a good read, we ultimately get only a vague sense of Twitter itself.
In Bilton's defense, he didn't set out to write the story of Twitter. His book is billed as the story of its founders. There is no particular reason to doubt the accuracy of his account, based as it is on extensive interviews with principals.
Yet Bilton makes Twitter's founders seem so incompetent that one wonders how the company got anywhere. It is a matter of style – it's possible, after all, to recast the founding of Bell Telephone as the tale of a cowardly young man who collapsed at the first sign of serious competition and let the company be taken over by his father-in-law.
In the end, Bilton's book does a service, and not just in exposing Dorsey.
In a society that idolizes tech founders, it is healthy to be reminded that they are so often ordinary young men who just happened to be the ones pulling the lever when three bars came up.

I have an enum that looks like the following:

Fists = new WeaponFists(),
Sword = new WeaponSword(),
Bow = new WeaponBow(),

Which are derived from the base class Weapon.
Is it possible to use an enum in this way?
If so, will I be able to do something like the following? :

Best Jogging Path (2011)
A1A in Boca Raton
Whoever designed this sidewalk had the right idea. Why the hell should cars get the nice stretches of even pavement? Here, the sidewalk is made of more cushy and even road pavement instead of harder concrete pieces like most sidewalks. It largely cuts through a section of grass off to the side of the road, meaning cars aren't text-message-swerve close like many sections of A1A. A golf course clubhouse is positioned almost exactly halfway through the trip, with a water fountain for the public. And if you get too hot, the beach is just a few steps to the east.

Glenn Greenwald.(AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
I suppose that no one should be surprised that Edward Jay Epstein, one of the original JFK conspiracy theorists (I was a big fan in the 1960s, for a few weeks, when I was a kid), is back with an op-ed at the right-wing Wall Street Journal editorial page insinuating that Glenn Greenwald might be behind Edward Snowden's career move to Booz Allen, for the purpose of getting those NSA docs and his big scoop.
In other words: the guy should be arrested and locked up. That is, Greenwald, as well as Snowden.
As usual, Greenwald critics of this bent totally ignore the fact that Bart Gellman of the more establishment Washington Post was also involved with Snowden early. That muddies the narrative, of course, not to mention ruffling other feathers.
Well, Twitter was abuzz, as if it was WSJ and the Vince Foster "murder," part II. For a bit of the flavor here's a Storify trail of a Twitter debate in response featuring Michael Wolff, Jeff Jarvis and Greenwald himself. Also see video of Greenwald's speech to the national socialist confab last night, introduced by Jeremy Scahill. He had dealt with some of the questions raised by Epstein and Wolff right there. And a fine new post from NYT public editor Margaret Sullivan on the who-is-a-journalist question.
Monday Update: David Carr's column today on the journalist vs. activist question is hardly a "hit" on Greenwald, but he does misfire badly on a key point near the end. Also see that link for another interesting Twitter debate between Greenwald and NYT's Damien Cave.
Here's an edited collection of the earlier Storified tweets from Greenwald, Jarvis and Wolff:
Wolff: Ed Epstein argues possibility Snowden & @ggreenwald colluded on data grab frm Booze. Does that change narrative? tinyurl.com/n9gyuv2
Jarvis: @MichaelWolffNYC conspiratorial claptrap. @ggreenwald
Jarvis: @MichaelWolffNYC The phrases "what if" and "in on it" with no facts & only conjecture = conspiracy theory @ggreenwald
Greenwald: @MichaelWolffNYC Are you a thief & a plagiarist? I'll go write my "what if?" column about that now. Just curious.
Wolff: Gentlemen, Epstein asks a simpler question than all this. Was there prior relationship btw @ggreenwald and Snowden? Did they cooperate?
Jarvis: @MichaelWolffNYC Have you watched the video I quoted? It's in there. @ggreenwald
Greenwald: @MichaelWolffNYC Half of that WSJ op-ed is false, and I've answered your baseless question multiple times. Use this thing called "Google"
The Wall Street Journal isn't the only publication getting their facts wrong.

Article Summary
An anonymous electrical and systems engineer going only by the moniker BTE-Dan has posted surprisingly detailed plans for a full-scale, functioning Starship Enterprise that he claims could be built in 20 years. Though it may be tempting to scoff at such lofty ambition, the Build the Enterprise website (up all of one week) includes specifications, costs, mission plan and funding strategies, all suggesting that a serious amount of thought has gone into creating a real world counterpart to the icon spaceship of the TV and movie series, Star Trek.

My computer broke and I've been unable to update the site. I guess Stef has been way too busy with her offline life, but here we go. Better late than never. 😉
Yet another NEW Eva movie is in the works! It's called The Salvation and it's currently filming in South Africa.
Here's what we know so far:
The English-language drama from "The King Is Alive" director Kristian Levring also features "Hannibal" star Mads Mikkelsen and Mikael Persbrandt of "In a Better World."
French actress Eva Green and Americans Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) and Michael Raymond-James (Jack Reacher) have joined the cast of The Salvation, a Nordic saga-inspired Western from Danish director Kristian Levring (The King Is Alive), which is shooting in South Africa.
THe English-language drama stars Mads Mikkelsen, who stars as infamous psychologist/cannibal Hannibal Lecter in NBC's critically acclaimed crime drama Hannibal, as a peaceful settler in 1870s America forced to carry out violent revenge.
Green, who headlined the Starz fantasy miniseries Camelot and appeared in Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, has a full dance card at the moment, with roles in two highly anticipated sequels: Sin City 2 and 300: Rise of an Empire. Salvation reunites her with the Danish Mikkelsen following their work together on the James Bond feature Casino Royale (2006).
Other big names added to the cast include acclaimed British actor Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean); Sweden's Mikael Persbrandt, star of Susanne Bier's Oscar-winning In a Better World and a supporting role in the final two entries in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy; Scottish actor Douglas Henshall (The Eagle); and French soccer star-turned-actor Eric Cantona (Looking for Eric).
The film's script was co-written by Levring and prolific Danish writer-director Anders Thomas Jensen — who co-wrote The King Is Alive as well as Levring's most recent feature, Fear Me Not, and collaborated with Bier on In a Better World and her latest, All You Need Is Love.
The story centers on John (Mikkelsen), a settler whose family is brutally murdered. John kills the killer, drawing the wrath of local gang leader Delarue, and the peaceful farmer is forced to fight the outlaws to save his town.

Patient Comments: Nasopharyngeal Cancer - Tests
Please describe the tests and exams that led to a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer.
Comment from: waves, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 29
I had no symptoms nasopharyngeal cancer. I fell and hit my head and went to the emergency room (ER) for stitches and CT scan. My primary doctor followed up and wanted a PET scan and MRI as he saw something suspicious on the CT scan. So this ended up with me being diagnosed with pharyngeal cancer with left neck lymph node involvement, by and oncologist/radiologist and ENT doctor.

Comment from: Valkyrie, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 25
A few months ago I blew an item out of my nose. It was skin colored and raspberry-like in appearance. There was a bit of bleeding, but not significant. Three weeks ago my nose would bleed when I blew it. There was a little at first, but it is getting progressively worse. I woke with my mouth and nasopharnyx full of blood and it took an hour to stop. I saw an ENT. He attempted to take it out in his office but could not. He sent the sample of what came out to pathology. I had a CT of the head and neck. The next day, I found that it was squamous cell, poorly differentiated, non-keritizing, basaloid featured cancer. I had outpatient surgery the following day. I understand it is stage 1. I had a PET scan that was clean.

The Ruger has been made in so many variations over the years ( I have owned many ) , you wait to see what will come next every year and it is always something cool . The others listed are cool also , the finish on the Beretta is super , The Freedom Arms is awsome , etc.

One good thing, you can load it up without the ball and unless some moron sticks their face directly in the muzzle, it is safe to use as a noise maker on 4th of July or New Years.
Suprised no mention of Smith & Wesson's "Scofield" , a real classic. I noticed most of what you have pictured are copies of Great American hand guns. Nothing original . To each there own.

- Dogzebra~PWCM~JLA 2011/01/14 12:24:33+2I've owned a Blackhawk Convertable for years. I've reloaded some pretty stout loads for it and it still shoots like a dream. It's really nice to be able to shoot both .45ACP and .45 Colt, but if you expect accuracy from my gun, you've got to size all the rounds same as the groove diameter, which is .450" . Cylinder chamber throats are .451"on both of its cylinders. A bullet anything larger will get shaved, splatter lead and long range accuracy fails. My only wish is that it was chambered for .454 Casull, then I could shoot three rounds downrange instead of just two.
Next single action I'd like to have would be a Blackhawk convertable in .357 mag and 9mm. That'd be another three round pistol. It probably has groove diameter issues also.

Is that you ? Love your painterly style and colours.
Ooo nice.
I'm not much of an artist and therefore feel like I have little place commenting on the works you and other artists post here. I just really wanted to say how great this particular piece turned out. Maybe this is my lack of experience talking but I was struck breathless by the warmth of and vibrancy of your colors accented by the lighting. I'm an instant fan.

- Jon Bergen 2012/06/07 10:44:44Barack Obama+3So soon after 8 years of an entitled blue-blooded moron aristocrat of the Bush dynasty, I suppose makes me optimistic that America will recognize in Willard 'Mitt'/Bain Capital Romney the same old face of Dear Ole Dubya. The Bush, Jr., administration systematically looted the nation and initiated the practices that led to the subprime mortgage lending disaster which created this Depression.
Bush II ended 'our long national nightmare' of historic record prosperity under Clinton, leaving America ~ and Obama ~ the biggest mess to clean up since the Great Depression of the 1930s. I'm just surprised Junior and his neocons didn't leave the world in the middle of a third World War.
Oh, wait. The 'War on Terror' ~ the War on Iraq and Afghanistan. They DID sponsor another war in the name of American economic (oil) supremacy..
Well, America, go ahead. Prove me wrong. Prove you haven't learned from the disaster of the Bush Dynasty. Or. Prove you HAVE learned and let the rich kid find some other way to stroke his entitled, um, ego.

White House Philosophy Stoked Mortgage Bonfire by Jo Becker et al (New York Times)
The global financial system was teetering on the edge of collapse when President Bush and his economics team huddled in the Roosevelt Room of the White House for a briefing that scared the hell out of everybody.
Then his Treasury secretary told him that to stave off disaster, he would have to sign off on the biggest government bailout in history.
Mr. Bush paused for a single, stunned moment to take it all in.
"How," he wondered aloud, "did we get here?"
But the story of how we got here is partly one of Mr. Bush's own making, according to a review of his tenure that included interviews with dozens of current and former administration officials....
- ray Jon Bergen 2012/06/15 19:58:35The Iraq war put us 500 billion dollars in debt and the war Afghanistan cost some money to. But we are over 5 trillion dollars in debt because of Obama. That's more than any president has spent. We were fine with Bush, there was no recession and no one was getting laid off. Now, it is the complete opposite.
- Jon Bergen ray 2012/06/15 21:21:03+1Earlier in this thread (just above) you posted 'Bush didn't do that.' My latest post back to you says, in effect, 'Yes, he did.'
High-interest loans were given to high-risk borrowers in order to line the pockets of Merrill-Lynch, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley, Countywide, New Century, Option One, Washington Mutual, etc. This also pumped up the housing market and prevented the unsteady Bush economy from collapsing in upon itself. But it could only last so long. When too many of those loans went unrepaid, we were told we had to bail out the lenders. The economy, already faltering, spiraled downward, and brought about our current 'soft' Depression.
What is described above is the subprime lending financial crisis which precipitated the global financial meltdown that pushed banks and economies all over the world right to the brink, forcing bailouts and tax-payer funded rescues in countries everywhere, not just here in the US.
The article above describes how Bush policies brought about this crisis.

- Jon Bergen Builder 2012/12/10 18:19:59Very belated response, but, yes, you are welcome, and, yes, you are right that Bush used the subprime lending scheme to pump up bank profits on more mortgages signed (and then all the securities derived from those) while also aiming to pump up goodwill for himself among blacks and Hispanics. Pretty clever: exploit the minorities AND fatten the wallets of the Good Ole Boys.
And, then, just as you are getting out of office, send those same minorities ~ and the Democrats, of course ~ the bill. Very nasty and dirty (i.e., very true to Bush, and the neocons), but also a very slick play.
Would have to say, though, that in the long-run it looks to have backfired: First black President of the United States (not something Republicans were aiming for, obviously) also a Democrat and RE-ELECTED during a DEPRESSION while Republicans LOSE SEATS in both houses of government and leave a Democrat in the White House to appoint new justices to the Supreme Court when some of the current members step down.
Not what the Bushes and neocons wanted...AT ALL! :-D

- Jon Bergen TheRevDocG 2012/12/10 18:24:46No, social services, programs and safety nets in Europe are being dismantled by the bankers as we speak. The euro and the central bank in Frankfurt will end socialism in Europe, and then they will be just like the United States.
Want proof? Look at Greece and Spain. Ireland is doing better, but is also on the ropes. When these nations can't keep up economically, they must accept loans to keep playing, to stay in the euro game. The terms of those loans involve 'restructuring' and austerity measures which pare back or eliminate the very socialism you despise.
Socialism, per the orders of the bankers, is being dispensed with in Europe. You can jump up and down now and shout from the rooftops: 'Suck on it, 99% ~ the bankers won!'
And it is a good day for rich aristo-a-holes everywhere.

Lodz ghetto, ca 1942
Lyrics by: Jankiel Herszkowicz
Music by: traditional
Performed by Jankiel Herszkowicz
Hunger is the theme of many songs from Lodz ghetto. In Potato, Herszkowicz, characteristically finding farce within misfortune, addresses the precious vegetable in the mock-intimate tones of a badkhn (Jewish traditional wedding entertainer) crooning to an anxious bride. The ghetto audience would have understood the line "Instead I'll get a visa" (stanza 2) to mean "Instead, I'll go to the graveyard," or, still less euphemistically, "I'll starve to death." Herszkowicz recorded the song for Polish radio in 1965.

Should We Allow Cuba To Sell Its Players To MLB?
ESPNdeportes.com columnist Enrique Rojas, citing "a source close to Cuban baseball authorities" reports this week that Cuban government officials are "studying" the possibility of allowing Cuban players to sign as free agents with MLB teams.
The deals, which would be overseen by the Cuban government, would apply to players who have played for eight years or more in the country's professional league.
If Cuba does decide to allow players to freely leave for MLB, there would be conditions. Read more…

German shepherd as service dog
I have a question. I have a german shepherd pup that I hope to eventually train as a service dog for me. I currently have a lab mix service dog, but she did not get big enough to do the mobility assistance that I need her to do. I am about 220 lbs and 4'11". My current service dog is about 22" and 60 lbs.
My german shepherd pup is currently 9 weeks old and 20 lbs. He is very smart. I am running into a few problems though, and thought I would bring them to you guys and see what your thoughts were on them.
1) When Major meets a new person or dog he will bark at them, then slowly approach them, then let the person pet him, or sniff the dog, then things are fine. Is this normal for a german shepherd pup or is it something I need to worry about?
2) Whenever we are out anywhere with Major we keep hearing horror stories about german shepherds. We hear the people are afraid of them. We hear that a german shepherd attacked them or their kids . And today we heard that a german shepherd killed their dog.
How do I show people that Major won't hurt them? Most people will pet him, and he loves it. However, some won't, and it is because of what other german shepherds have done in their lives. How do I overcome this? Will this lead to access challenges when he eventually starts public access work?

Thanks for the quick response to my questions. So far, Major has been to the trails and walked on them. Been introduced to 3 other dogs, two puppies and an adult other than our own adult dog. Been introduced to many different people including women, men, men in hats, and children (both boys and girls). He has also been socialized with a cat, seen birds, rabbits, guinnea pigs, and fish. He has walked on wood chips, dirt, sand, grass, linoleum, carpet, and wood. He has also been introduced to a sort of lake. All this has taken place since we have had him. He has been to the park twice. He has been to a pet food place once. And he goes on van rides with me at least a few days a week. I think I may move up his socialization and start taking him everywhere with me. If it is a place that is not pet friendly, I will leave him in the van. However, he can go with me to banks, our Wal-Mart (they know me well and our bank is in there), to our other bank, to Rural King, to Lowe's and Home Depot, and most anywhere that does not have food out, right? I have a vest he can wear that says "puppy in training, please ask to pet me".
Is this a good idea, or no?

The rule of thumb I have heard for socialization is a puppy should be introduced to 100 different types of people by 12 weeks old.
Socialization is especially important between the age of 8-12 weeks old and I highly recommend entering a puppy class if there is one in your area as well as doing a lot of socialization in public.
You can read more about socialization and how to socialize a puppy (and I highly recommend reading these pages) here:
How to socialize
This is also a good page to read, it's more of a general puppy raising info with some on socialization:

When working with a service dog I would just ignore the people that have a prejudice against the breed. Right now you want to socialize him as much as possible, but down the line you DON'T want people to interact with him so I would just focus on the people that are fine with GSDs. It would be different if he was just a pet and you were trying to be an ambassador for the breed. Sagelfn is correct that it is illegal to deny access based on breed.
Since Major is very young I wouldn't worry too much about his barking at people. I recommend the LAT (look at that) game though to keep his focus on you. Down the line you don't want him barking at people, when he is in full work that would be a big no-no. Sounds like you are doing a good job socializing him so just keep it up!
Why is your current service dog too small? I understand why you are not wanting to use her from the other thread. But I am 5'3 and my service dog is 24" and is definitely big enough. I use a mobility assistance harness with her that has a 6 inch rigid handle. What type of tasks do you depend on your dog for? Tessa has no problem being used for balance, stability, pulling up stairs, pulling me in a wheelchair etc.

Major and Summer
Thanks for the links. I did read them, and they make a lot of sense. We are going to step up his socialization and start taking him out more.
As for Summer being too small, we were told that by a previous service dog trainer that I had. I am 220 lbs and 4'11". I was told that as heavy as I am, a 60 lb dog is not enough to help me out of the tub, help me up when I fall, or help me up/down steps/curbs. Mainly for mobility for me though she wears a harness with a bridge handle attached that I hold onto while she pulls me and provides anti-balance so I don't fall. My daughter likes to say that I "wobble" without something to hold onto. It can be kind of embarrasing when we are out, and I have left Summer at home and have my daughter helping me instead, and I let go of her for a minute and she makes me take hold of her again immediately and says loud enough for everyone to hear "Mom, you have to hold on to me, you are wobbling.". If it were just for that though, I would not be retiring her except as a back up dog and an at home service dog. I am also semi-retiring her because she is too reactive in public.
However, now that we are back in classes, she does seem to be getting better. Also, she is a lab mix, and everyone just wants to come up and pet her and pet her. I have PTSD and have anxiety disorder and don't do well around people I don't know well. It makes me very anxious. So, to have a dog that provides a "physical presence" without being mean is the way to go for me according to my therapist. So, Major seems to be the key for me.

Are you trying to lose weight at all? I know thats a quite sensitive topic. It really helps mobility issues though. I gained a lot of weight quite quickly due to hypothyroidism. When I finally got back down I noticed a big difference in my joint issues.
I also sort of wobble. I'm fine when I'm holding Tessa's harness, leaning on a shopping cart, or leaning on my forearm crutch. Around the house I constantly reach out and push on the walls, furniture, etc to steady myself as I walk. I always steady myself on Tessa when getting up or down. If I don't have anything to steady myself I walk quite slowly and feel very off balance; I noticed it during a recent ER visit. I said I was fine without a wheelchair, but I swear it seemed like they walked me a mile from admitting to a room! When we were done my boyfriend spoke up for me and said I needed a wheelchair to leave lol.

Losing weight
Yes, I am trying to lose weight, and am slowly losing it. With the medications that I take, including insulin (which causes a person to put on weight) and the fact that I can't get around very well, it is a very slow process. I could lose weight quickly if I went off of my insulin, but that isn't an option for me.
I have much the same problems that you do. Plus, I have severe neuropathy. Holding on to something, be it a bridge handle on a service dog, a walker, or a person's arm helps tremendously.

Eeek definitely do not go off your insulin! Are there any types of exercise you can do? Swimming is often good. Or even just walking in a pool, the water helps hold you up and provides gentle resistance.
I was thinking about this thread earlier and thought of something funny. I have trouble walking and trip myself or just plain fall from bad balance, but I can still ride a buck from a horse better than most people! I know the reason, its completely different muscles being used. And riding is a great form of physical therapy- the benefits are amazing because it works your entire body in a gentle way especially muscles in your core. But its pretty amusing that I trip over my own feet while being able to ride a bucking bronco

I have flash backs at pools so can't handle them. They send me into panic attacks. Long story. I would love to learn to ride a horse. I love horses. Right now, though, we can't afford to do lessons or anything like that.
Good for you being able to ride a bucking bronco. Giddyup cowgirl!

Nothing says I Love You and I forgive you for those naked pictures quite like a new set of wheels and according to the Hollywood tabloids Brad Pitt surprised his megastar actress life partner, Angelina Jolie with a new motorcycle on her 35th birthday.
We don't know any details about the bike, and even Angelina says she doesn't know much about her present. "I'm not sure what cc (size) it is. But I can tell you it's a proper bike and it's powerful. Brad's a really good teacher - he's really patient. I'm very impatient so I can wreck a bike if I'm not careful."
For fans who need reminding, Jolie's motorcycle experience has been mostly onscreen in Tomb Raider and in her newest movie Salt.
Obviously Brad isn't letting the recently surfaced nude photos of Angelina throw him off his romance game. The tabloids are saying that the photos were taken in 1999 by a friend and show her with S&M props, black tape over her nipples and a dog collar around her neck. Others show her during a 14-hour heroin-smoking bender. Additional photos are contained in an unauthorized biography by Andrew Morton that is due for release in August 2010.
So that makes Brad's birthday gift of a motorcycle all the more impressive. It says "darling, screw the tabloid paparazzi, let's ride!"

Catch the birdie!
posted 6 years ago
I bought one of these last night and all my cats crowded around to take a turn at catching the bird. We had them on their hind legs trying to grab hold. They absolutely loved it. I just have to make sure to put it away where they can't find it or they'll chew the end off completely. I also got different refill heads.
Pros: lightweight wand, e-z snap end, can get end replacements.
Cons: cats chew out feathers too quickly

I don't know who has had more fun with this--my cats or my husband. They love trying to catch the "bird." I have to make sure to put it away out of reach because the cats will chew it off.
Pros: inexpensive and can get replacement attachments
