Marijuana Legalization, Government Revenues, and Public Budgets http://www.rand.org/pubs/testimonies/CT449.html 2016-01-19T12:30:00Z 2016-01-19T12:30:00Z Testimony presented before the Vermont Senate Committee on Finance on January 19, 2016. Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol http://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE162.html 2015-09-30T07:50:00Z 2015-09-30T07:50:00Z RAND researchers consider whether California could do more to reduce driving under the influence (DUI) and other threats to public health and safety imposed by repeat DUI offenders. Could You Lose Your License to Drink? http://www.rand.org/blog/2015/06/could-you-lose-your-license-to-drink.html 2015-06-23T11:48:00Z 2015-06-23T11:48:00Z Criminal justice reform requires creating demand for bold ideas about simultaneously reducing incarceration and crime. Given the prominent role alcohol plays in crime — and the strong results from South Dakota's 24/7 Sobriety program — suspending one's "license to drink" seems well worth considering. The 10 Ps of Marijuana Legalization http://www.rand.org/blog/2015/06/the-10-ps-of-marijuana-legalization.html 2015-06-22T11:44:00Z 2015-06-22T11:44:00Z Marijuana policy is a growing topic of discussion, and laws are starting to change. Ten choices confronting jurisdictions considering legalization cover many of the critical decisions that will determine whether removing prohibition is a good idea. Unprecedented Changes in Marijuana Policy http://www.rand.org/blog/2015/04/unprecedented-changes-in-marijuana-policy.html 2015-04-30T19:29:00Z 2015-04-30T19:29:00Z The marijuana policy landscape changed dramatically in 2014. Legal sales for nonmedical purposes began in Colorado and in Washington state. Voters in Washington, D.C., Alaska, and Oregon passed initiatives to liberalize their marijuana laws. Uruguay also started implementing its marijuana legalization law. Beyond Prevalence http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP50836.html 2015-04-22T13:45:00Z 2015-04-22T13:45:00Z Estimates of both the consumption of illegal drugs and user expenditures are important for informing drug policy development. Response to Stephanie A. Duriez, Francis T. Cullen, and Sarah M. Manchak http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP50665.html 2015-04-22T11:45:00Z 2015-04-22T11:45:00Z Swift-certain-fair sanctioning helps enforce the conditions of community corrections by substituting swiftness and certainty for severity and by increasing the predictability and perceived fairness of the process from the offender's viewpoint. A Framework for Synthetic Control Methods with High-Dimensional, Micro-Level Data http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR1080.html 2015-03-23T10:30:00Z 2015-03-23T10:30:00Z Synthetic control methods are applied to a neighborhood-specific crime intervention in Roanoke, VA, and the outcomes are examined. The Effect of Montana's 24/7 Sobriety Program on DUI Re-arrest http://www.rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR1083.html 2015-03-05T15:30:00Z 2015-03-05T15:30:00Z Examines the effect of participation in Montana's sobriety program on the probability of DUI re-arrest for participants within twelve months of their second arrest date. The Whole Is Just the Sum of Its Parts http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP50610.html 2015-02-26T11:30:00Z 2015-02-26T11:30:00Z Data from surveys of arrestees and the household population in the U.S. suggest there is only modest overlap among demand for the big three expensive illegal drugs (cocaine/crack, heroin, and methamphetamine). How Much of the Cocaine Market Are We Missing? http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP50590.html 2015-02-02T17:15:00Z 2015-02-02T17:15:00Z This paper uses respondent-driven sampling (RDS) of drug users in a mid-sized American city to estimate the shares of cocaine (powder and crack) users and expenditures that are attributable to different combinations of these groups. Options and Issues Regarding Marijuana Legalization http://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE149.html 2015-01-21T10:00:00Z 2015-01-21T10:00:00Z This paper reviews recent changes in marijuana policies and the decisions that confront jurisdictions considering alternatives to traditional marijuana prohibition. The Marijuana Legalization Debate http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9825.html 2015-01-16T17:30:00Z 2015-01-16T17:30:00Z Marijuana policy should not be viewed as a binary choice between prohibition and the for-profit commercial model seen in Colorado and Washington. Legalization encompasses a wide range of possible regimes. Considering Marijuana Legalization http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR864.html 2015-01-16T12:30:00Z 2015-01-16T12:30:00Z Marijuana legalization is a controversial and multifaceted issue. This report provides a foundation for thinking about the consequences of different marijuana policy options while being explicit about the uncertainties involved. Does San Francisco's Community Justice Center Reduce Criminal Recidivism? http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR735.html 2014-10-08T15:00:00Z 2014-10-08T15:00:00Z In 2009, San Francisco opened the Community Justice Center (CJC), a community court serving a high-crime area. This report examines whether the CJC reduces the risk of rearrest when compared to more traditional approaches for addressing arrestees. Are Users' Most Recent Drug Purchases Representative? http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP66120.html 2014-08-04T10:00:00Z 2014-08-04T10:00:00Z Various surveys now ask respondents to describe their most recent purchase of illicit drugs, as one mechanism through which market size can be estimated. This raises the question of whether issues surrounding the timing of survey administration might make a sample of most recent purchases differ from a random sample of all purchases. Taking a Sober Look at Legalizing Marijuana http://www.rand.org/blog/2014/07/taking-a-sober-look-at-legalizing-marijuana.html 2014-07-13T12:00:00Z 2014-07-13T12:00:00Z California and a handful of other states will probably vote on legal pot in 2016. Here are five suggestions to help policymakers who want to promote productive discussions. Developing Public Health Regulations for Marijuana http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP50498.html 2014-05-20T06:15:00Z 2014-05-20T06:15:00Z Government agencies in Colorado and Washington are now charged with granting production and processing licenses and developing regulations for legal marijuana, and other states and countries may follow. Legalising Cannabis Is More Than Just a Yes or No Decision http://www.rand.org/blog/2014/05/legalising-cannabis-is-more-than-just-a-yes-or-no-decision.html 2014-05-02T09:20:00Z 2014-05-02T09:20:00Z Any truly honest discussion about how to regulate cannabis markets must start with clear objectives and goals. How these markets are opened can be as important as the decision to legalise cannabis.

Professor Sequoia 2013 by zephleitWatch

It is my original work. It is not owned by GAMEFREAK, Nintendo, The Pokemon Company nor any of their affiliates and subsidiaries. Please do not use them in any form.
Re-introducing the number one authority on Pokémon in the Asnolv Region, Professor Sherman Sequoia.
Here's the old version:
He loves to explore and travel, that why he focused his research on Pokémon biodiversity.
Hope you guys like him!
Re-introducing the number one authority on Pokémon in the Asnolv Region, Professor Sherman Sequoia.
Here's the old version:
He loves to explore and travel, that why he focused his research on Pokémon biodiversity.
Hope you guys like him!
I love your artsytle
It would be interesting plot twist if the local professor turns out to be the leader of evil organization
Theory: Sequoia signed up for Team Hale's fitness program. The irony, of course, is that he has no clue of their true intentions.
Either that or he just works out on his spare time.
Nah. Sequoia being fit comes with the job.
Makes sense. I don't think he'd have the time to sign up for fitness programs anyway, what with his research and things.
Though imagine if he armwrestled with a Hale grunt.
Sequoia would still win. This guy doesn't need HMs. XD
General rule of thumb: You DO NOT f*ck with the regional professor.
Though now a question strikes me out of the blue...does Sequioa have anyone...special in his life? Or is he single?
Of course, either answer will likely get people watching this going. Which is totally not my intent.
=3=3=3=3=3=3= many aahhs in advance
I'm sure he is a very hands-on kind of professor. Especially when he decides to partner up with Professor Sycamore. Aw yiiiis.
Is he hiring? I'm more than willing to be his assistant. My farm expands to a lot of habitats and still expanding, maybe he can come visit my place (the farm) if he wants to research on Pokemon biodiversity.
so saucy
haha, even the professor has to be at least athletic xD great job on this one
More like Professor studly~ Love this desgin!
as must look all the professors in pokemon! Loving it! <3
Brain and Muscle fused together i love it
Why hello there professor stud. Nice work as always .
I can almost hear the intro music as you start a new game... XD
This he travels around so much, can I infer that you occasionally battle against this Professor in random routes? That'd be fun.
Yes. If this was actually a game, this professor shows up very often.
I've always thought that that would be fun in a Pokémon game. I've heard it happens in XY, but I haven't gotten the game yet.
Hello again professor~ can i have my starter? , great work
Which one?
aw yeah, I missed this guy so much!

Tacos take an Asian turn with these Thai Style Tacos – filled with marinated steak and a easy Lime-Cilantro Slaw.
Photo Updated August 2013
Originally posted May 24, 2007 – this is a great recipe worth adding to your weeknight dinner rotation!
2 Cooking Light recipes in 2 days – both still kept "light" – I don't know how I did it, but I did!! (And both were VERY good!) I really wanted to try these tacos, but I wasn't sure how well they would go over with my husband. He claims to like everything but meatloaf, but when it comes down to it, he is pickier than he thinks!! This recipe took me all of 20 minutes to throw together. I love it when meals are this easy on days when I just don't have the energy to make dinner. I put together the marinade for the beef at lunch and stuck it in the fridge to marinate for a few hours until dinner time. All I had to do was throw the slaw ingredients together while the meat was on the grill, and dinner was finished! The only thing I changed was slicing some green and purple cabbage because I had some of both in my refrigerator instead of using packaged angel hair slaw. The serving size is 2 tacos at 431 calories, but I was finished after only 1 taco. My husband liked the tacos, too (although he did add sour cream to his.)
- Steak:
- 1 T sugar
- 1½ t minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1½ t fish sauce
- ½ t chili garlic sauce
- ¼ t freshly ground pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound flank steak, trimmed
- Slaw:
- ¼ c fresh lime juice
- 1 T sugar
- 2 T rice wine vinegar
- 1½ t minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1½ t fish sauce
- ½ t chili garlic sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 c shredded purple and green cabbage
- 2 c packaged matchstick-cut carrots
- ¼ c sliced green onions
- ½ c chopped fresh cilantro
- Remaining Ingredients:
- 8 (6-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
- Combine the sugar, ginger, fish sauce, garlic sauce, pepper and garlic in a large zip top bag. Add the steak to the marinade, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to overnight, turning occasionally.
- To make the slaw, combine the lime juice, sugar, vinegar, ginger, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce and minced garlic to a medium bowl. Add in the cabbage, carrots, green onion and cilantro. Toss well to combine.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook the steak for 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting diagonally against the grain into thin slices.
- Divide the steak between the tortillas and top with about ½ cup of slaw per taco. Serve immediately.
10 Responses to Thai Style Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Slaw
Another delicious looking meal. I'm hungry for lunch and it is only 10am.
Those look great! I love any kind of taco, and this is a fun alternative (and healthy too!)
Wow, that is very creative. Looks beautiful!
Oooh oooh!!! I've been looking at this recipe in Cooking Light and now that I have a rave, I might just have to put it in my weekly menu! Thanks for the post. Oh – I have a few cooking light recipes in my own blog you might be interested in.
Thai flavors in tacos DEFINITELY sound good to me! I love them wherever I can get em!
Love these flavors and textures!
Love the Thai flavors!
I love limes and this looks like a great recipe! Cooking Light is my favorite magazine
Love the flavors for this slaw–yum!
I know what I'll be having for dinner tonight!

Our mission is to prepare all students to be productive citizens who:
- Possess knowledge
- Accept responsibility
- Demonstrate problem solving skills
- Succeed within a dynamic global society
How are we doing? We are looking for feedback on your experiences with our district.
Meet & Greet Superintendent Announcement
Message from the Superintendent~
Why call a delay when one was scheduled?
As many of you know, even without inclement weather, our parents and students often forget that we have scheduled 2 hour delays, so a reminder to them seemed appropriate, especially after such a long weekend! However, the most important reason is that I used the emergency weather system to call a two hour delay last night revolves around our special needs students that travel to other districts for services. During a "scheduled" two hour delay for professional development some of our special needs students are transported "on time" to various locations in surrounding districts. In this case, administration did not deem it safe for those students to be at bus stops in the dark. When a two hour delay is called for weather, all of our students, including special needs students, get picked up with their peers two hours later.
We always do what the Career Tech does…why not this time?
In most cases, all surrounding districts are experiencing the same weather. However, this decision was based on the ability of each borough to remove snow. The larger the borough, the more time that will be needed to clean streets. Administration worked diligently with borough officials in Shippensburg and Boyo Transportation to identify the streets that needed to be cleared so that school could be in session.
It did not seem in the best interest of our students to cancel school all week while waiting for Chambersburg and surrounding boroughs to clean their streets when the streets in Shippensburg were cleared enough to have school.
Have you seen my neighborhood?
Administration, specifically Mr. Montedoro, Director of Transportation, with the help of Mr. Suders from Boyo Transportation, traveled every inch of the routes and inspected every turn around for our buses. This is the practice on EVERY storm. As always, there will be areas of concern. ANY parent who does not want to send their child to school due to concerns regarding weather, simply needs to indicate that in a note and they will be excused.
I heard some bus stops were changed. I was never notified.
A few bus stops were changed and the impacted families were contacted by the transportation department. There is no need to contact the families of 3400 students when only a few hundred are impacted.
I sincerely hope this clears up any confusion or concerns you may have regarding the extremely complicated weather-related decisions that are made by the District.
Beth Bender
Superintendent of Schools

CodeCon was an annual conference for hackers and technology enthusiasts, held every year between 2002 and 2009. CodeCon was not intended to be a computer security conference, but a conference with a focus on developers doing presentations of technologies, rather than products.[1]
Bram Cohen and Len Sassaman are credited with devising and organizing the first conference at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, California in 2002. The conference was the result of discussion on building a small, programmer-focused convention. Some projects discussed at the first CodeCon include BitTorrent and Peek-a-Booty.[2][3][4][5] There were also panel discussions, including one about the legality of hacking, which focused on the actions of the MPAA and RIAA against peer-to-peer file sharing networks.[6]
Later conferences have included discussions on P2P, and the Helios voting system.[7]
Sassaman proposed to his then-girlfriend Meredith L. Patterson during the Q&A after her presentation at the 2006 CodeCon; the two were later married.[8]

Applied Remote Sensing to Disaster Management requires just-in-time delivery of custom data products to unsophisticated end-users such as fire fighters and first responders. These requests are wide-ranging, from wild fire hot spots detection, smoke, fire suppression and rehabilitation, flood coverage to erupting volcanoes, and require coordination of many assets such as satellites, UAV's and ground sensors. They also require predictive models to complete the SensorWeb. Using Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, distributed web services from many organizations have been geo-enabled (or sensor-web enabled) to process the data and distribute it to end-users using Web 2.0 technologies such as Atom feeds and KML. The next challenge is to flow-enable these services to facilitate automated orchestration for on-demand requests coming from various communities in times of need. With our desire to provide the ability to create quick mash-ups for our end-users using a simple web browser, we have implemented a RESTful architecture and applied it to workflow management with the help of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and the OGC to support interoperability across our SensorWeb Community. These workflows must operate on behalf of a wide range of users and access services that may or may not be restricted. At a minimum, data consumers and providers need to communicate over http using some level of authentication that can be easily implemented in a RESTful manner. This paper also presents our Decision Support System used to manage our various Communities of Interests (COI) and give them transparent access to the SensorWeb assets and relevant custom data products when the needs arise. An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to automate the daily selection of requests to be scheduled for imaging and processing based on themes of interest.

This book began its life a quarter of a century ago, when I commenced a research programme at London Bible College. In its original version, it was presented as a doctoral dissertation at the end of 1990. It has now been revised and updated by reference to some of the significant publications since then, including the previously unpublished fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This long period of germination has been due mainly to the fact that for the last twentyone years, I have been working full-time as a lawyer in central London. I should like to take the opportunity here to acknowledge with sincere thanks the help and support I have received during this time in various ways.
Looking back even further, I should like to acknowledge the excellent grounding I received in studying theology as an undergraduate at Cambridge University in 1969-70 (an academic year sandwiched between two parts of a law degree). There I benefited from lecture courses given by Professor C.F.D. Moule, nearing the end of his career, and by his successor-but-one as Lady Margaret's Professor, Graham Stanton, at the beginning of his. I also appreciated the teaching and encouragement of Dr. (later Professor) R.E. Clements, who was my Old Testament supervisor.
At London Bible College, Dr. Donald Guthrie guided my studies over a long period, and I remain very grateful for his patience, kindness and insightful comments. His humble scholarship has been a wonderful example to many. At the commencement of my research, I benefited from the encouragement and enthusiasm of the late Dr. Marcus Ward, my first external supervisor. His role was then taken by Professor Max Wilcox, while he was at the University College of North Wales in Bangor. I appreciated his depth of knowledge in the field of the use of the Old Testament in the New, and his wise advice particularly as to the scope of my dissertation. I have also been helped by conversations at various stages with Professor Leslie Allen, the Reverend Dr. R.T. (Dick) France and Professor Max Turner, and by their encouragement.
The staff at London Bible College were consistently helpful, and I valued the friendship and comments of my fellow-students when I was able to spend more time at the College at the beginning of my

Features include a thermal transfer overprinter, print presence inspection, label-on-product inspection and a rejection system (Watch Video).
Designed to accommodate booklet labels, the thermal transfer overprinter is an intermittent printer capable of printing lot/date codes or 2D bar codes directly on the label prior to application. An integrated Cognex Checker sensor visually inspects the print presence prior to the label being applied to the bottle.
Labels are applied to the bottle through the use of a wrap station. The wrap station features a high durability rubber belt which offers ruggedness while handling the product gently.
A series of sensors at the outfeed end of the system inspect for label presence. In the event a label is not detected on the bottle, the bottle is rejected into a reject bin by a pneumatic cylinder.

Ricky Seals-Jones decommits
Updated: June 6, 2012, 5:00 PM ETBy Max Olson and William Wilkerson | HornsNation
Ricky Seals-Jones, the nation's No. 1 wide receiver recruit, has decommitted from Texas.
The five-star recruit from Sealy, Texas, confirmed his decision to back out of his pledge in a text message to HornsNation.
It is believed that this decision could have something to do with his desire to play both football and basketball in college, which LSU and Baylor Bears both have given him the option to do. When reached by phone Tuesday night, Eric Thomas, Seals-Jones' AAU basketball ...

hey- I do an art career project with my middle
schoolers too. I bought these cards from Sax called
Careers for Kids- Art. I give one to each kid and they
have to create a poster about the career on the card.
I made up a handout centered aroudn the cards. The
kids have 2 days to design the poster. I have them
imagine they are advertising exec's and must 'push'
this career to the public.
On the 3rd day, they present thier career to the
class. They really seem to like it. I hang them in the
hall when we are done and the kids in the hallways
always stop and read them.
Hope that helps!

I went in today and although they are up 288-467 they wanted to see a doubling. I have to go back again on Saturday and retest again. I am all paranoid now but at least I keep reading that numbers should double in 48-72h. Anyone else a slow riser? I wasn't worried until now. With DS hcgs weren't done....I was just confirmed pregnant. I was only 33 not 38 then and not diagnosed with pcos. What a worry....I haven't had any major cramping or spotting or anything....now I just have to wait again until Saturday. Of course it is a nurse that I talk to on the phone not the RE.
Sadly, Jan 21, 2011 m/c 6w5d
Thinking of you. It is still going up well, and I'm sure you'll see it MUCH higher next test.
I sometimes wonder if all the extra testing just creates more stress? Focus on how you feel and the life growing inside of you and try not to worry too much. Easier said than done I know.
Oh mama, I'm so sorry. I'm currently waiting to see if my numbers double or not. My second draw was today. I really hope that you are just a slow riser and they are fine on Saturday. I'll be thinking about you.

Just a bit of an update....So I spoke with the nurse as I had some questions about my level of workouts etc. She said they are happy with the levels as they are definately increasing (not textbook but who is?) They want to be reassured with Saturday's level....they would like to see a faster increase but are not concerned at this point. I was told to not go all out on workouts...no heavy lifting...no working out to crazy sweats. Cardio 30min max, light to moderate weights so that blood flow isn't diverted from the womb.

The Valenciana region
Within 10km there are 3 different 18 hole golf courses, the nearest being at the Villa Martin complex.
The nearest beaches, Playa Flamenca North & South are approx. 3km by road. These are both sheltered sandy bays with rock-pools for exploring when calm or waves for body-boarding. These beaches have a bar, toilets and childrens climbing frame/play area and a volleyball net throughout the summer. There are umbrellas and sunloungers for hire.
There are pathways between many of the local beaches (5 or 6 of them!) and there are all sorts of beaches to try –from Guardamar's national park designated coastline with pine trees and sand-dunes to the north of the villa down to the Mar Menor. In the summer, most of the beaches have lifeguards and first-aid.
There are various shops and 4 supermarkets within walking distance of the villa so there's plenty of choice when you want to eat in. On Saturday mornings there is a street market nearby with fantastic quality fruit & veg as well as clothing, souvenirs etc.
For eating out, the nearest bars and various restaurants are only about 300m away, and within 1.5km the Playa Flamenca restaurant/bar complex caters for a variety of cuisine. On the main road are Indian, Chinese, Italian and lots of Spanish restaurants. There's even a chip shop at La Zenia!
Interesting places to visit, include Torrevieja (5km north) with a pleasant waterfront promenade, an evening market and fun-fair except in winter. It also has a waterpark.
La Mata (6km north) – one of Torrevieja's salt lakes is a national park and bird sanctuary with observation hides and platform and a natural history exhibition.
Elche "city of palms" with botanical gardens, Roman ruins and museum. Cartagena with many Roman remains (named after Carthage).
Orihuela, the provincial capital with many 14th &15th century churches. Murcia, the regional capital with its magnificent cathedral. La Fortuna natural hot springs channelled into a spa bathing facility. Alicante with its 2 castles, marina and art gallery.
Benidorm (2hours drive north) and nearby Terra Mitica, - a theme park with rides and live shows & entertainers and Terra Natura, a wildlife park.
Guadalest – a fortified town in the mountains east of Benidorm with fantastic views Cuevas de Canalobre – caves with many stalactites & stalagmites and a constant 18 degrees centigrade in the mountains east of Alicante.

With Valentine's Day coming up at the end of the week, I've rounded up a few of my favorite gluten-free Valentine's Day desserts. Valentine's Day is a great day to celebrate the people we love, but it's also a day that retailers take advantage of. In our family. we often opt for homemade cards, gifts, and meals. They can be just as good, if not better, at communicating love and making the day special.
These chocolate treats are sure to please your sweetheart and/or kids. With a few exception (cupcakes, brownies, date balls), all of these recipes are grain free, and all of them are simply delicious.
My personal favorites? The peanut butter cups. I've always loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, and they're not difficult to make. But the truffles also use peanut butter (or other nut butter) combined with chocolate, and the flourless chocolate cake is just decadent. So those are my top three picks for you, but they're all yummy.
Gluten-Free Valentine's Day Desserts
Cherry Chocolate Black Bean Brownie Bites
Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
Chocolate Nut Butter Date Balls

1976 Chevrolet Monster Truck by DeorseWatch
©2010-2016 Deorse
This is an art piece that was inspired by a late night 'Monster Jam' on the 'SPEED' channel on TV. I decided to draw a typical 1970's Chevy pickup truck and how it would have looked Modified into a monster truck in the late 1980's. The 'Old Skool' Chevy is smashing a rusted piece junk probably a foreign car like a Honda or Nisan typical of the early 1980's. This piece took me about a week to draw from start to finish. The most complicated thing about this piece was drawing the piping frame and chassis the under carriage, drive train, suspension, and the tire treads. Now you are probably wondering why it says '4x4x4' on the side instead of '4x4', '4x4x4' means it is 4 wheel drive and it is 4 wheel steer. A truck like this utilized 2 front end military heavy duty truck axles, heavy leaf springs, and anywhere between 12- 18 shock absorbers This was a really fun piece to draw and I listened to plenty of Metallica wile doing so.

I did a pretty Shitty job on this truck.
Nice! Nice!
Fizz bitch energy drink. XD Thats a funny sponsor. But good job on that beast. I might have to do something like this in MS paint.
Yeah back when I was in high school a friend came up with the name, I volunteered to come up with with a Logo and a few slogans for him, he gave the company name and logos over to me a year later.
Wow. Monster trucks are hard to draw, and the suspension and transmission are well detailed and close to the real car. Metallica is great for drawing xD Next time, you could do a prius under that beauty O_o
Thanks man, I'll take that whole crushing a Prius into consideration next time along with say a Honda civic.
Hehe... End their miserable lifes. They deserve that and more...
If I was to ever to do a complete and total demolition and destruction of a vehicle, I'd probably take it out on some ramps to do a few jumps with it, rev the engine until it blows, go out with something blunt like a base ball, sledge hammer, steel pipe, crow bar, tire iron, ax, etc. and go beat the living hell out of it, spray paint graffiti all over it, set it on fire and as its still burning go push off a tall cliff, then come by with a big piece of heavy machinery i.e. a monster truck or bulldozer and flatten the car, and after all of that is over with, put the car through a car shredder.
I would get a brand new prius, then crush it, shred the cubes and melt it. That's the least spectacular, least dignified death it can have. And exactly what it deserves in my opinion... Though, your way of destroying it is way more fun... Would love to take part in it xD
SO epiC!! I draw monster trucks all the time, and this is one epic one! o3o
Thanks man, sorry for taking a while getting back to you on your reply, I've been pretty busy. I like your monster truck pictures too, they are very cartoony and very stylize. You ever thought of going into graphics arts as your career?
Nice. o: Poor red car.
It's a good piece of work!
It's a good piece of work!
Hell yes! very awesome!
Thanks man.
Freaking sweet dude, love it!!!

Google Earth 1.1 Adds Layer to Explore Oceans
An updated version of Google Earth (1.1) hit the Android Market this morning, adding a key component – oceans. And it's about time. How can Google look themselves in the mirror and call it "Earth" if they omit nearly 3/4 of the planet?

Job Cuts Are Coming To Wall Street
The Investment bank Morgan Stanley has announced plans to shed 1,600 jobs — about half of those cuts will be made in the U.S. The move is a seen as aimed at cutting costs and boosting equity returns for the banks investors.
NPR's business news starts with job cuts on Wall Street.
INSKEEP: The investment bank Morgan Stanley has announced plans to shed 1,600 jobs - about half of those cuts here in the United States. The layoffs are said to target senior employees, management and executives - a move seen as aimed at cutting costs and boosting equity returns for the banks' investors. Those returns are still down about a quarter from the levels seen before the 2008 financial crisis.

Highlights from Bill Belichick's press conference
Bill Belichick streamed through a variety of topics at this morning's press conference. He called yesterday's joint practice with the Saints among the most productive in his career and even gave his thoughts on Jimmy Johnson joining "Survivor." A few tidbits are below.
* On the joint practices: "I thought yesterday's practice was probably one of the most productive practices I think I can say that I've been a part of in my career."
* Wes Welker may or may not play in tomorrow's preseason game. "We'll see how it goes yesterday and today and make a decision on that. I don't know. I'm not saying he will. I'm not saying he won't. We'll evaluate it and see."
* Linebacker Marques Murrell is expected to be at practice today. He was carted off the field at the end of practice yesterday. As Belichick was leaving the podium he said Murrell "should be out there" today.
* On facing the Saints after practicing with them: "We've all seen enough things out at practice. They've seen it from us; we've seen it from them. It's not one thing. There's multiple formations, multiple defenses. ... It's a much better example to do against another opponent, but it's the same thing we would be doing if they weren't here. We would still be running their plays.
"We would still be running their coverages. We would still be running their punt rushes. We would be doing all of the things that we did yesterday and today, we would just be doing it ourselves and obviously, we can't do it nearly as well as they can, or vice versa.
"I think it helps the younger players. It's hard to get them enough practice reps to be real confident going into the game. A lot of times they get thrown into the game with the minimal amount of practice and these practices have afforded all the players an opportunity to practice against what they're going to see. WE can evaluate those match ups and also feel better about putting those players out there because they know more about what they're doing."
* On Jimmy Johnson going on "Survivor:" "Well, it's quite a contrast from the environment I usually see him in. The times I've seen Jimmy most recently ... he's on a boat fishing, relaxing on a nice day down in the Keys having a good time. I hear it's pretty rough on "Survivor." ...
"Jimmy is a great guy. We've had a great relationship. I have so much respect for what he's done and at the time he did it, he really was kind of the first guys to do things the way that he did it -- build a team from scratch. Seeing him out of that environment, I give him a lot of credit. My hat's off to him. I don't think I could handle that."

YMMV: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- Broken Base: The whole "two drivers at one time" mechanic. Either it's one of the most innovative features to be introduced to the entire Mario Kart franchise and needs to make a return, or it's one of the worst aspects about Double Dash and it's a good thing it has yet to be brought back. There are also those who were completely indifferent to the whole mechanic, but there have been some debates among fans of the first two camps on if the feature should or should not return in a future entry.
- Franchise Original Sin: in Mario Kart 64 and its GBA successor, Super Circuit, the Spiny Blue Shell worked like a red shell, but it hit every driver in front of the one who threw it and finished with the one in the first place; this game, however, marks the debut of the (much more hated) flying version of the item, that only hits the first-place driver with an explosion that takes five to ten seconds to recover. By the time the first-place driver is back on track, the second-place driver is likely to have already surpassed him, and usually said second racer is the only one taking any advantage of the weapon. It took Nintendo two more games (Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii) to either realize the mistake themselves or to notice the item's infamy among fans before reverting the item to its non-flying form (while still exploding when hitting the head racer) in the series' Nintendo 3DS outing, Mario Kart 7.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: On one of the promotional websites for the game, Lakitu mentions that although he's been in every single Mario Kart game, he's never been a racer. Then Mario Kart 7 comes out, and he's an unlockable character.
- Love It or Hate It: Baby Park. Because of its simple 7-lap oval design, it's considered one of the most fun or most dull tracks in the series, with little opinions in-between. It's one of the first races to appear in three games, reappearing in both DS and the DLC of 8.
- Memetic Mutation: Rainbow Road with lyrics. "It's the road that you gooooo/When you diiiiie..."
- Most Annoying Sound: HI I'M DAISY HI I'M DAISY HI I'M DAISY

"What has happened to our country?" Plus much more, including Kerry timber lines, a lost weekend, and what Hugh Hewitt did to Bob Dornan.
Re: Reader Mail's Bush Walks the Walk:
What has happened to our country? Why are so many people such as your readers who write lovingly about one candidate and hatefully about another consumed with spite? This has become an election full of vitriol, disrespect and embarrassment. Attacking a candidate's appearance (What is this about a tan?) or a candidate's manner of speech (Idea and nuclear?) by either constituency is not worthy of publication. These comments are pure and simple bigotry and the publication by the Spectator only promotes hate and intolerance.
Where is the discussion of issues instead of this inane focus on "Who won the debate?" and the incredible waste of time on the part of the media, the pundits and publications such as The Spectator as to what the audience is wearing at the town hall forum? This voter considers coverage of this nature an insult to our country and its citizens. If we are becoming a nation of bigots, then the United State of America is truly in danger of not remaining united and it will lose its status as a leader among nations. Think about that.
This voter is tired of such foolishness on the part of supposedly intelligent people. We seem to have forgotten why we elect people to represent us in our local and federal governments. Is it not the central duty of our elected officials to govern our country for the good of all the people -- all citizens? This voter contends that the good of the country centers around an exceptional public education system, health care for all citizens, adequate wages that can support a family, maintenance of our transportation and commerce systems, stewardship of our natural resources, reduction of our dependence on oil, elimination of our national deficit, income tax reform, electoral reform, national security, a well-equipped armed services trained for peace keeping and defense, and as importantly, a sound foreign policy which promotes peace along with the world-wide elimination of hunger, disease and nuclear threat. These are just a few of the issues which should be front and center on a voter's mind when he/she goes into the ballot box to elect a public official.
Issues such as a woman's right to choose, right to life, stem cell research, marriage and ANY attempt to legislate morality do not fall into the arena of governance. These are just a few of the special interests that lead our electorate astray and away from the key focus of our elected officials -- that of governing for the good of ALL of our citizens. This voter doesn't care if the candidate is black, white, green, purple, man, woman, homosexual, transsexual, communist, socialist, liberal, conservative, libertarian, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, etc. Come November 2, this citizen will be voting for candidates from the local through national levels whose platforms will best provide governance for the GOOD of all its citizens regardless of their party, race, gender, religious or economic status.

Re: John Tabin's Kerry Cries Timber!:
It was an excellent article on the intricacies of the tax codes but missed the point that V-P candidate John Edwards uses the Sub-S Corp as a shield from paying all those Medicare Taxes on his judgment earnings. As always the libs lead with "do as I say, not as I do," and if there is any way to tie the evil Republicans to a perceived problem, then do so. TIMBERRRRRRRRRR........
-- Ray Gaster
Thanks to John Tabin for clearing up the Kerry timber remark. It was really an odd thing to say.
What about Kerry's statement about only he, Bush & Gibson would be taxed at a greater amount (under his tax plan) "judging by the looks of audience." I wonder how many were actually quite wealthy?
-- Charlotte Waddle
Phoenix, Arizona
Isn't it about time to ask the multi-billion dollar question, "If Kerry is elected, will John and Teresa put their holdings into a blind trust? If not, why not? And how would we know, since Teresa has refused to release any details of her holdings and tax records?"
The use of a blind trust is designed to deter any abuse of power and appearances of impropriety, so Teresa should be asked directly if she would comply.
-- Rich Hudson
John Tabin makes a hash of the issue of Bush's "ownership" of a timber company by flaunting details that are true but irrelevant as a lead-in to snarky remarks about John Kerry. Tabin is obtuse or dishonest to say that Kerry "seemed to say" that "the tax code is so broad that Bush himself, a man worth $18 million ...'counted as a small business.'"
When Kerry said that "President Bush himself would have qualified as a 'small business owner' under the Republican definition," he was not talking about the tax code's definition, but the Republican definition, which tries to pass off the number of people reporting income from small businesses as the number of small-business owners, and further incorrectly equates that number with the number of small businesses, thereby exaggerating the number of small businesses by about 100% and misstating the effects of Kerry's tax plan.
I loathe Kerry, like Bush, and plan to vote for the latter. I would have liked to see a realistic, candid analysis of how Kerry's tax plans would affect small businesses that actually have employees. That is a small portion of the total number of Subchapter S corporations or limited partnerships, but as the larger small businesses, the ones with employees must be concentrated in the brackets affected by Kerry's tax plan. Some solid numbers, including employment projections, would have been useful, but Tabin just served up the kind of sleazy misdirected propaganda that should be left to the Democrats, since they seem to enjoy it so much.
-- Seán Fitzpatrick
Upper Darby, Pennsylvania
John Tabin replies:
Obtuse or dishonest? I'll take obtuse, thank you. Let's be clear, though: The dispute over the number of small businesses traces back to a FactCheck.org article that says that a Bush/Cheney '04 ad overstates the number of "small businesses" as 900,000. But a glance at the text of the ad, posted in a sidebar to their analysis, shows that in fact the ad refers to 900,000 "small business owners," which is the number of taxpayers in the top bracket who own a piece of an S-corporation. That this is an unfair definition of a "small business owner" still strikes me as something of a stretch. Nonetheless, on the campaign trail (unlike in the ad that FactCheck.org purports to debunk), the President and Vice President have indeed used the formulation "900,000 small businesses," and after re-reading the debate transcript I must concede that it was indeed Bush's use of that formulation that Kerry was objecting to. Mea culpa.
Re: Jed Babbin's Sharpies at the U.N. and John Tabin's Kerry Cries Timber!:
I have yet to hear a single commentator make the observation that Kerry's foreign policy was toast for the real reason. (Though Fred Barnes came close.) Yes, It's the Bush plan which could make it redundant. But Kerry's policies were toast the instant that Bush announced troop withdrawals from Western Europe. In that instant any involvement by the Axis of Weasels became defensive. Their Rapid Reaction Force rather than being forward facing became a Maginot in mobility never to leave the EU's shores. Which pretty much put the coffin in the ground to France and Germany sending troops to Iraq.
Which brings us to the ultimate conclusion. Is Kerry that stupid and surrounded by such incompetents that as a team they could not see the geopolitical ramifications? Let alone the domestic political ones? If Holbrooke did not see this then as a taxpayer I want his G22 salary back for the last 20 years. But as of the last debate Kerry and Edwards were still rattling that they will expand the Coalition. Under Kerry am I to presume that Grenada and the Bahamas will be sending a few MP's? Clearly Kerry lacks the flexibility to see that a new position was needed.
As to the timber jab, it was such an amateurish attempt to invoke a divisive wedge based on the robber baron angst of two centuries ago. I would hazard for most of the members of the audience the reference was lost on them. But no matter, most of the audience I am sure would be wondering why he brought it up. It's a sure bet most spent at least $84 on Halloween decorations. A perplexing reference on Kerry's part.

Re: Ralph R. Reiland's George Soros & U.S. Sovereignty:
I believe that George Soros is a person who has reached a limit on his ability to influence events. I think after his declaration that he would spend his entire fortune to defeat President Bush and has only spent $25M leads me to the conclusion that he himself believes this too. But he could also be a typical liberal who preaches what people other than himself should believe and how they should live.
He still has about a month to back up his big mouth with his big bank account.
-- Diamon Sforza

"Mr. Soros stated that we should start by correcting our own behavior, by looking at what we've done wrong.…Another wrong, he explained, is that the United States isn't yet signed up with the Kyoto treaty or the International Criminal Court in The Hague."
Right, that's what Osama Bin Laden is fighting for: Make the U.S. join the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto treaty. How silly can you get? Has Osama ever heard of Kyoto, did he ever mention it? I have not yet heard a statement from al Qaeda, Osama, or any of his henchmen ever mentioning Kyoto or the Criminal Court in The Hague. It's not because these deals are bad for America that your alarm bells should be ringing. It's the lunacy of the notion that al Qaeda does what it does because the U.S. follows certain policies that don't agree with a liberal mind-set. The issue is not what the U.S. does, it's what the U.S. is: A friend of Israel, a force for democracy. That's the problem of al Qaeda, not Kyoto. Let's get real. If you want to address "problems," those are the problems you must deal with. And I guess that is exactly what Mr. Soros means to say.

Re: Wlady Pleszczynski's Kerry Stiffed and George Neumayr's The Peripatetic President:
NO fair! I never check TAS's website on weekends! So allow me to offer KUDOS today to Wlady Pleszczynski and George Neumayr for their great columns on Friday night's Presidential debate. While it was wonderful to see President Bush turn in a much better performance in the second meeting with Senator Kerry -- it's really beginning to annoy me that there are still swing voters out there among the populace. What are they waiting for?
It's also annoying to me that our Commander in Chief has to play "dress up" with Senator Kerry while busily trying to stay a step ahead of evil Islamofascists who want to kill us all -- and all because there are 10 voters in Ohio who CAN'T MAKE UP THEIR MINDS!! Of course, all that "dress up" seems to suit the Kerry/Edwards duo -- what with manicures to manage, hair styles to perfect -- and fake tans to emulate the REAL JFK.
Nothing would please me more than for President Bush to come out next time -- look right into the camera and tell them : "Look -- I love our country and I want to protect it and I want to do my best to protect YOU. I'm no great orator, as my opponent, who has spent 20 years in the Senate honing his ability to speak all day without managing to say anything of substance or coming down firmly in favor of or against ANY issue -- with the exception of raising your taxes and voting against national security…which is all you need to know to realize he has no intention of sticking it to the terrorists. And his running mate is a FIRST TERM Senator who did such a poor job that he realized he couldn't even get reelected in his home state -- but wanted to make a name for himself -- so he decided he could do this job. Well -- he can't. And his pitiful record in the Senate is all the proof you need to understand that. Don't send these two Senators to the White House to do a job that they have both demonstrated they are incapable of doing. They didn't have the guts to maintain their position against Howard Dean -- and Howard Dean didn't even want to MURDER them - he just wanted to beat them in the primaries."
Keep up the great work!

If one read the subtitles during the debate, this would appear:
"President Bush, whom would you appoint to the Supreme Court?? ("I don't know, but whoever it is, Sen. Kerry will filibuster the nominee to prevent a vote, like he has done to so many judicial appointees who have been waiting years for a vote.")
"Senator Kerry, why do you vote for taxpayer-paid abortions?" ("I can't legislate an article of faith, but I can legislate the pro-abortion agenda of NARAL.")
"President Bush, are there any character flaws that would prevent Sen. Kerry from being Commander-in-Chief.?" ("Not unless you consider giving aid and comfort to the enemy during a time of war by accusing his fellow soldiers of being war criminals to be a character flaw.')
-- G. Ferguson
Allow me to amplify George Neumayr's remarks on John Kerry's misunderstanding of what constitutes an article of faith. If Senator Kerry really said that abortion is an "article of faith," he was either being dishonest or he revealed an embarrassingly ignorant understanding of the Catholicism he claims to profess. An "Article of Faith" refers only to doctrinal matters, such as the Immaculate Conception, Transubstantiation, the existence of angels, or Mary's Assumption into Heaven. Only Catholics are bound to give ascent to such formally declared propositions.
Abortion is a moral issue. Morality is rooted in natural law. That's the law based on human nature, and which applies to every person, even those who have never heard of the Catholic Faith, ever since God breathed a rational soul into Adam. Which means that to insist on anti-abortion legislation is not an attempt to impose a distinctly Catholic morality (there is no such thing) on non-believers. Because people often have confused ideas of natural law, the Church must now and then speak out in order to clarify that law. But that is all the Church can do about natural law. Let's be clear about this. Even the Pope cannot add anything to or subtract anything from natural law. Can't John Kerry get anything right?
The real shame of his position is that, thanks to the inept American Catholic bishops, Kerry can say something so ignorant, and too many Catholics will unthinkingly accept it. Oremus.

Re-reading "The Peripatetic President" and agreeing more heartily with George Neumayr, was suddenly struck by the perfect solution to the many distractions that prevent our concentrating on judging the man. How many times have I heard "He looks presidential."? Well, that is sure what counts for a World Leader.
I guess since the last debate is a sit-down affair, my idea is too late - but wouldn't it be the perfect measure of the man if we had the candidates come on stage, disrobe behind a screen, take a quick shower, dousing the hair, scamper back behind the screen, towel off and don Speedo swim trunks. Give hair a quick comb - no blow-drying or back combing or mousse, (there's test for Kerry, right there! How long since he's combed his own hair?) and walk center stage. No podium, no stool, no nuthin'. Just stand there in stately splendor. This "event" will be timed and the time subtracted from the candidate's speaking time. We need a president who can dress fast in a crisis and without a butler. Studio will be a cool 67 deg. and there will be points off for goosebumps and teeth chattering. OK, gentlemen. Feet together. If a pig can run between your legs you are too bow-legged to be president. OK, let's make it democratic -- Bob Schieffer wears a Speedo, too.
This is about how silly judging the candidates has become. For juvenile jab of the week. John Kerry was quoted as saying he "caught" Bush scowling? Kerry should proclaim of himself "I wouldn't scowl if I could and if you know anything about exfoliating and Botox, you know I can't and that is why I should be your president, I can put on a happy face any time I want to and so can my 65 year old wife Terezzzza."

Re: Christopher Orlet's The Nobel for Neolithic Politics:
Thank you for reminding us of two things. First, that the Nobel Committee is another one of the liberal institutions that has not only outlived its usefulness (if it ever had any to begin with), but also continues to swing a wrecking ball at the society which has allowed it to exist for lo these many years. I'm not sure that this bit of foolishness outdoes the Jimmy Carter award, but it certainly does come close. Having attempted to get through two of her "plays" (and I use the term loosely), I can honestly say that if there were any truth in either of them, it eluded me. If we classify her writing as tripe, we are seriously devaluing tripe. By the way, I don't like tripe either, but I don't necessarily believe that tripe lovers are intellectually stunted. I can't say the same for the lovers of Elfriede Jelinek's work.

Re: David Hogberg's Party Animal and David Martin's letter (under "Right or Wrong") in Reader Mail's City Peanuts:
Re: David Hogberg's Party Animal and comments of Pennsylvania reader Dan Martin:
Hogberg and Martin offer excellent criticisms of Hugh Hewitt and the inconsistencies of his political positions. I'm a Southern California Republican and often hear Hewitt popping up on Christian talk radio, mixing some good observations with an unsettling overall thrust seeking to convince conservative Republicans out of voting scrupulously according to their conservative principles.
I find Hewitt mostly unpersuasive, especially given his own lack of application of lessons around the maxim enshrined in his latest book title, "If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat." Consider: California Rep. Bob Dornan had lost his congressional seat to Loretta Sanchez Brixey in 1996, on the basis of fraudulent votes; when Dornan ran to regain his district, Hewitt supported a more compliant and Leftward-trending Republican in the primary, despite the fact that Dornan had bested Sanchez Brixey and should have been returned to his seat with the illegal votes rescinded and an honest ballot count performed. On what rational, truthful basis can Hewitt defend that choice for a Leftier Republican than Dornan, other than that he has a political preference for more Leftward Republicans?
(A recap, in case you're interested in that long-ago Republican surrender: If you can lay your hands on a recording or a transcript of Michael Reagan's radio show from the night of and the day after the November 1996 elections, you'll hear Reagan interviewing Dornan. Dornan told Reagan he'd been assured by the then-congressional leaders that they'd get to the bottom of the illegal voting that had put Sanchez Brixey in Dornan's rightful seat, and that they'd give Dornan whatever support he needed. After this phone-in interview ended, Reagan resignedly informed the listeners that he himself had spoken to the congressional leaders, who'd confided to Reagan they had no intention of a serious investigation into Sanchez Brixey's illegal "win," and confirming that they had been outright lying to Dornan. For one thing, she was a "double-whammy mammy" -- both Hispanic and female, and the Republicans had no ... uh, "stomach" for refuting false cries they were racist and sexist. Second, then-House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich was attempting to craft a relationship of comity with Bill Clinton, and Dornan had been one of Clinton's fieriest critics.)
As for the Eleventh Commandment, and Hewitt's mischaracterization of it, you have only to consult longtime Ronald Reagan adviser Lyn Nofziger, who's explained why Reagan came up with the proviso and how Reagan used it. Nofziger recounts that Reagan voiced the Eleventh Commandment to caution Leftier Republicans from attacking Reagan and his conservative supporters as being on the "far Right" and regurgitating typical critiques-from-the-Left of the Democrats. Then, as now, Republicans from the Left portions of the party were given frequent fancy platforms by the Leftist press and the Left-sanguine background culture, the better to serve up intra-party denunciations of conservative Republicans. You may mull over appearances you've seen of former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld and former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, far Lefty Republicans both, in which a fawning Leftist moderator gave them multiple opportunities to criticize more Rightward Republicans. Where has Hewitt been, and have you ever heard him take to task such Lefty Republicans in creating post-office careers out of bashing more conservative members of the party that's supposed to cover the "Big Tent"? I don't think so!
(And Lyn Nofziger has further observed that Reagan often outlined shortcomings of Leftier Republicans, on principled grounds, and that Reagan also took allies wherever he could find them on any issue -- at times joking that he'd worry about anybody who agreed with him 100% of the time.)
Another recent title from Hugh Hewitt was "The Embarrassed Believer." That book dealt with Christians shy of being open about their religious faith. I humbly suggest that Hewitt at least ponder writing an article, "The Embarrassed Conservative," as he seems to be much more comfortable with caving in to the pressures of Leftist cultural elites and supporting Left-leaning Republicans, than in standing firm in defending conservatives from calumnies, slanders and slurs. The upshot of a Hewitt stance is to move the Republican Party ever-more and ever-quicker Leftward, behind the quick Left march of the Democrats. But who will honestly represent the conservatives then, when only a far Left and a soft Left party are ascendant in U.S. political circles?
I should close by disclosing my own political allegiances. I'm a former conservative Democrat, who finally paid heed to Ronald Reagan's statement that he hadn't left the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party had left him. (I was like Zell Miller before Zell was so cool.) Yes, not long ago I was a registered Democrat and now I'm disgusted with the trends (which Hewitt commends) in the Republican Party. In the Pennsylvania Senate primary Hewitt describes, conservative Pat Toomey was the vastly superior choice over incumbent Leftist Republican Arlen Specter (whom Hewitt commends). Hewitt argues that Toomey ought not to have been supported, in favor of Specter. It would be laughable if it weren't so hypocritical, that junior Pennsylvania Republican (and usually a conservative stalwart) Sen. Rick Santorum scored Toomey as "too conservative to win" for holding positions indistinguishable from Santorum's own. Sometimes party loyalty asks too much. Arlen Specter, standing next in line to head the Senate Judiciary Committee, is likely to be the single impediment necessary to prohibit conservative constitutionalist judges, should Bush win a second term with a modest Republican Senate gain. Think about that for a long while -- particularly if restoring a traditional understanding of the Constitution is important to you.

675. CoastalAlabama
About 3.5 to 4 foot storm surge thus far in Pt. Clear, Alabama, on E. Shore.
Mostly light drizzle, had sun out for a few hours until recently. A bit breezy but not unlike a good norther blowing down in December.
About half / half businesses in Fairhope and along 98 from Daphne S. towards Foley and Gulf Shores are open.
Looks like radar showing a decent band coming in later this afternoon.
But surge of 4 feet on this side of the bay a bit surprising...for this storm as well.
