Skip to comments.Elliott Abrams Caught Misleading on Newt
Posted on 01/27/2012 9:38:08 AM PST by sheikdetailfeather
As Ronald Reagan used to say: Well.
Yesterday we took note of former Reagan State Department official Elliott Abrams' piece over at NRO that went after Newt Gingrich on his relationship with Reagan. While voting regularly with Reagan as a young congressman from Georgia, Gingrich, claimed Abrams, "often spewed insulting rhetoric at Reagan, his top aides and his policies to defeat Communism." Abrams then goes on to cite " a famous floor statement Gingrich made on March 21, 1986."
Or sort of cites it.
In fact, I'm sorry to say, what appears to be going on here is that Elliott Abrams, a considerably admirable public servant and a very smart guy, has been swept up in the GOP Establishment's Romney frothings over the rise of Newt Gingrich in the Republican primaries. He is even being accused of trolling for a job in a Romney administration. No way!!!! Really????

"Elliott Abrams Caught Misleading on Newt"
Why don't people ever say "lying" anymore? Is Calling someone a liar MORE offensive than the lie itself?
Elliot Abrams, you sir are a damned liar!
This bears repeating.
Rush is saying he "thinks" Abrams was spoon-fed. He doesn't know. I think the little creep out and out lied. I think they have all openly lied and now they've been exposed. Our "betters" are certainly a stupid, immoral bunch.
The American Spectator site is DELUGED RIGHT NOW AFTER LIMBAUGH CAME ON THE AIR MENTIONING IT. It took me several mins. to get this article to come online. WHOOHOO!!!!!! GO NEWT!
Can we put this in breaking news? We need to refute these lies!
Go here....Google cache.
Considering the number of lies circulating about Newt from the so-called Republican establishment, you would think they were trolling for jobs in a second Obama administration.
But we are where we are, so the next question is whether the Arab Spring will actually fulfill its promise of greater democratic rights or whether it will simply usher in an era of extremist Islamist regimes or new forms of authoritarianism. The pessimists might yet be proved right -- any comparison of the Arab lands to Eastern Europe suggests that many positive elements are missing, not least the magnet and model of the European Union.
The article's dated January 23, 2012.
Is this the sort of thing that Mittens' Mormon faith permits him to do? I thought that Mormonism is all peace and love whereas the experience I am getting is in-the-gutter vitriol and lies. Is this why initially, it was 'Anyone But Mitt'. Inquiring Minds want to know why the sudden pivot to 'We Love Mitt - anyone But Newt'. It was too sudden and too complete not to be an orchestrated effort. I smell a conspiracy.
Why is this story not showing up in my sidebar at all? This is important!
Bleepin' Rush. Yesterday he kept repeating, ",this man is above repraxh, blah blah, blah." I started counting my spoons. It was so obvious that he was setting something up. Now he's trying to walk it back. Too late Rush. Next time question the people feeding you this crap.
That quote is the best part but it gets much worse.
Look, Gaza was a failure. Egypt is a failure. Abrams is a failure.
I can't believe this. How can someone who everyone says is honest lie like this. It's disgusting. If Willard is the nominee, I'm done with the GOP until they get back to Reagan's roots.
This whole episode has literally made me sick at my stomach. It is like a bad conspiracy movie about rigging elections, doing anything to get elected. AND IT IS COMING FROM OUR SIDE!!! THIS JUST EXPOSES THEM ALL TO WHAT THEY REALLY ARE AND I WILL NEVER PULL THE LEVER FOR MITT ROMNEY!
(and yes, I am yelling:))
Elliot Abrams? The impeccable one? The one who almost went to jail? Oh my, how the mighty are fallen! I wonder who put the bee in Rush's bonnet.
"Let me be clear: I have the greatest respect for President Reagan. I think he personally understands the threat of communism." Gingrich then goes on -- at Newtonian length -- praising Reagan for Reagan's understanding of Lenin, Reagan's understanding of the real "purposes of a Soviet dictatorship" and much more. He lists and applauds Reagan repeatedly for the President's appreciation of "the threat in a more powerful Soviet empire" and the threats posed by Communist Cuba and Nicaragua. He ranks Reagan with the great cold war presidents in protecting freedom."
The Establishment have to resort to lies to win FL.
I agree with you. It is just fine to shout. We cannot afford to be complacent right now and passion is a good thing. Those who are lieing to us will lose their power and reputations soon enough!
The American Spectator did! Good work, AS and Gingrich aides!
I, too, am sick about this. You don't even have to be a fan of Newt to be repulsed by this disgusting Romney trick. He's Clintonian.
I actually thought Rush sounded stunned yesterday and was hinting that the speech must have been creatively edited, but he didn't have the evidence so wouldn't come right out and say it.
Sometimes I feel like the oldest person on FR! I guess no one but me goes back far enough to remember poor crazy Howard Hughes' "Mormon Mafia." Hughes thought Mormons were more honest than other people and only hired them. Eventually, as his mental illnesses began to overcome him, he became a prisoner of his Mormon employees who would not get him access to much medical care. Sad story; maybe a Romney family member was employed!
Praise to Jeff Lord!
Romney can't run on his liberal record and win the GOP primary so all he can do is smear and lie about Newt.
Certainly one of the oldest, it seems. Sigh...
Your right! Romney and Abrams are LIARS!!!!!!!!!!
Then he should have checked it out before passing along unverified comments that turned out to be lies. No better than filthy gossipmongering, and to an audience as huge as his, it's disgraceful.
Now if he'll just as promptly check and retract the dozen other steaming road apples he shared with everyone...
The economic disaster has apparently left a lot of formerly wealthy Rinos very susceptible to Romney's 30 pieces of silver. So they are cashing in for their 30 pieces of silver and selling out to trash Newt!:
And it's fun to call it "lying" when someone making a point doesn't include the argument against their point.
Here, from the referenced American Spectator story, is the relevant quote:
"The fact is that George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Irving Kristol, and Jeane Kirkpatrick are right in pointing out the enormous gap between President Reagan's strong rhetoric, which is adequate, and his administration's weak policies, which are inadequate and will ultimately fail."The "misleading" aspect was that Abrams didn't tell us that other people were equally wrong as Gingrich was, and that Gingrich was agreeing with those people.
Nowadays, if you tried to defend a conservative saying that Reagan's policies would fail by noting they were just agreeing with George Will, you probably wouldn't get far on a conservative forum.
Of course, some of us never put much stock in this attack, at least as it was SUPPOSED to be. It seems I always see some other aspect of things than I'm supposed to. To me, the issue wasn't "Gingrich attacks Reagan". Everybody deserves to be questioned, and I think it was sleazy of Romney, of all people, to suggest that Gingrich disagreement with Reagan on this matter suggested Gingrich wasn't a Reagan supporter.
But what I would have expected Gingrich to do in response was to come out, note that he did think Reagan wasn't being forceful enough, and to admit that in the end, Gingrich was wrong about that assessment. For extra credit, Gingrich could have said he learned from that, and it would make him a better President, seeing that when you have a weapon like the United States, you can be less forceful and acheive results.
But attacking Abrams for this is silly. The quotes while not the full story were true. It's in the "refutation" -- Gingrich DID say that he agreed that Reagan wasn't being forceful enough.
Rather than attacking Abrams for pointing that out, why not instead acknowledge the error and use it to advantage?
There's also a part of the spectator story about Gingrich taking ABC on over his ex-wife. I'd love to say something about that, but I can't, because I love being here at FR and already feel like I'm treading on thin ice simply pointing out the flaw in the argument above, without raising any other issues.
You are correct Elliot Abrams is a LIAR, just like Mitt 'providential' Romney is a liar. I am sick of these hypocrites that cover up for liars saying words like 'spoon-fed'. GIVE me a break. Some of our 'rich' conservatives, fatted off their yakking have become LAZY.
It's also misleading in that it doesn't make it clear that he shared the same goal as Reagan, he just wanted Reagan to step even harder on the gas pedal to get there.
It was a difference in degree not substance.
Sidebar Moderator was lost at sea for many months, in fact we thought that we lost him or her for good, so, please, go easy on him or her.... ;-)
Although when I read the Abram's piece, that is exactly the message I got from it. I didn't think Gingrich opposed Reagan, was able to see the quotes and understand. Maybe Abrams SAID we should think otherwise, I don't remember — but I focused on the quotes Abrams gave, and thought Gingrich wanted communism ended, and didn't think Reagan was doing enough in that regard.
Maybe it's because I didn't buy that Gingrich opposed Reagan (I've never bought that Gingrich was somehow instrumental in Reagan's success, although he certainly was one of many who helped). I also knew that Reagan wanted to end communism, and couldn't ever imagine Gingrich would think differently, so I knew that wasn't what Gingrich was saying.
And it doesn't bother me a bit that Gingrich, being young and somewhat uninformed, could think that Reagan wasn't doing enough.
When we discussed this, I ended up in an argument with some Gingrich supporter who suggested that Gingrich was right, Reagan wasn't doing enough, and was probably suffering from Alzeihmers and allowing George Bush to run the country.
Anyway, I thought the big thing about this was it emphasized that while Gingrich had disagreements with Reagan, Romney actively opposed Reagan at the time. And I certainly don't think getting something wrong in 1986 disqualifies you from being President.
It seems this Romney campaign has no problem with lying, kinda similar to what Joe Wilson shouted out in the crowded House Chamber when the chosen one was speaking....
Oh, you were arguing with a bonehead! I've done that!
Newt's OK and was almost always on board with Reagan in those years. It's a ridiculous line of attack for the Mittens crew. Romney's an oily one.
IF Abrams really has the credibility of a slug he would NOT rip out a short paragraph without NOTATION there was much more said and TWIST it to sound how LIARS want it to sound.
Yes, it was a harrowing experience. I'll tell ya, I would quit if it wasn't for the free yacht and the big bucks Jim pays me ;-)
I noticed that the "impartial reporter" Drudge does not show this article "Elliott Abrams Caught Misleading on Newt" on his website.
Drudge has it up on his site now (I don't want to take credit but I emailed him the article about 2 hours ago)
We need to have a Septuagenarian Rally. Only problem is, I'm not eligible until next Friday!
As it tuirns out, there was a lot more "Reagan criticism" in the full speech, which has now been posted on the web so we can all make our own decision. It appears neither Abrams nor Lord were really "truthful" about the speech; the truth, as I said before, is somewhere in between, and each side selectively quoted to prove the point THEY wanted to make, not to give us the "full story".

Why should I Blog?
SEO Industry Growth, Widespread Failure, and SEO Industry Challenge
Google is doing a good job managing SEO. It has positioned itself such that it has so much cash and so much control, that it can manipulate the search experience to counter SEO efforts, even while hurting users and in many cases wrecking the search quality, without much risk to it's own success.
And now we search industry professionals find ourselves dealing with a new problem: ourselves. We've gotten to the point where crappy, irresponsible SEO is hurting everyone. I didn't say bothering everyone. I said hurting everyone. Hurting other SEOs, hurting marketing partners, and hurting client businesses and other players in the Internet ecosystem.
The solution is not more sloppy, deceptive, or ignorant SEO industry organizing. The solution is not pretending not to be an SEO by re-branding as Content Marketing or UnBound or whatever. And the solution is not limiting your service provision to SEO "audits" as if you were immune from the problems.
The Solution I See
The solution I think will work has two parts: 1. Let the failed & fake SEOs go away and become realtors or whatever else they want to pursue next, and 2. Stop tolerating the crap some of the remaining SEO firms put into the public eye (especially the scammers).
Is it Time to Quit SEO?
The first part is easy. Even the laziest SEOs can simply not do anything and let the losers walk. They came for the easy money and fast credibility. Now they will leave, and do the same somewhere else.
Can the Survivors Make It?
The second part might be too hard, though, because it requires some courage and some work, two resources I believe the SEO industry media and leadership lacks. And also because there are still a lot of crappy SEOs who are in denial about their ability to deliver SEO results for their projects. They are likely to hold on, band together, and pretend they are still awesome, that their SEO still works, and that the world is a happy place filled with rainbows and ponies that never age.
What is "Grey"?
It's also not "easy" to agree on what is a scam. There seems to be a real failure on the part of many search marketing practitioners, when it comes to recognizing the color grey. Grey is not a shade of black. But it is also not a shade of white. And there is not one "grey". In a monochrome world, such as we have with ONE SEARCH ENGINE, there is a continuum of shading from pure white to deep black. It is a FACT that the line of allowable tactics actually moves, both with topic and time.
Grey is Everything
The grey issue is super important. Perhaps a third component of a clean-up of the SEO industry should be a sort of color-blindness test, to measure whether or not we can recognize "grey" and demonstrate suitable skills to manage the shifting shade bar that is the continuum of SEO between white and black. Many of today's self-proclaimed SEOs would fail that test, in my opinion.
I can just imagine certain players jumping in to suggest that an "ethics program" is the solution for that…. LAUGH OUT LOUD. We don't need a badge program hidden under an "ethics" label.
If You're Winning, You Have What It Takes
The solid truth is much simpler than that: if you are successful as an SEO, you've proven your ability to judge the gray, and adapt as the borders of greyishness shift with Google's whim. If you cannot succeed in today's SEO climate, you should move on, or "go back to school" which in this field might mean return to testing and studying.
Alas, though… so many have poor business skills as well, and so no cash in the bank to fund such re-investment. It was a good ride up till now, but if you didn't save a war chest, it's just basic business logic that you need to go home now, because you're not equipped to keep playing your old cards.
But the Winners Aren't Safe: Survivors have Bigger Problems Now
Right now, we have new big problems that will challenge even the prepared SEOs who would otherwise be able to continue successfully and prosper. We are now at a point where enough people who are NOT search marketers know enough about SEO to make big mistakes that impact the online businesses that are trying to achieve search marketing success.
Combine that with the continued presence of ineffective SEOs refusing to walk away, the seemingly deliberate abandonment of those businesses by Google, and a few well-equipped scammers boldly taking advantage with no push-back from the SEO industry players, and we have a recipe for disaster.
SEO Opportunity being Drowned in Nonsense
If real businesses encounter real difficulty achieving search marketing success, that fact is supposed to spell opportunity for professional search optimizers. When players make big bets and stall or suffer failures, it should generate great business for real consultants who know how to right the ship, and for real independent SEOs competitively working those same SERPs. But it's not.
It's Clean Up Time – It's a Matter of Survival
It's time to call a spade a spade. If your SEO practice is all about pushing tactics today until they get penalized, and then pushing the counter-tactics tomorrow to clean up after your own mess, it's time to go home.
If you SEO consulting business is limited to audits that give you a one-way opportunity to criticize others' work, while attempting to use the opened door to sell web development or packaged monochromatic tactical services, it's time to get out of the way. You're just hurting people, and abusing trust.
If your SEO business survives by collecting a front load fee ("setup" or "research" or "market analysis" etc) that you hope will carry you through to some future time when your SEO actually works, it's quitting time. Give yourself a break from the stress… Google isn't going to get dumber. SEO isn't going to get easier. You don't have a viable business.
And if you're an association or agency or trade group and the only prospects you see for growth and survival are old school badge programs or extortion, or if you are planning to survive by selling re-packaged SEO tools, please…. give it up. It's a dead horse.
But if you are a real SEO, get back to work. Study the SERPs, test your hunches. Over build, work harder, and just try to win. If necessary, pick a less-competitive sub vertical to re-start, just like you did last time. Hard work is the only way to recover as an effective SEO.
SEO Still Works and It Always Will
There is no reason why SEO won't work today, just as it worked yesterday. Except for a very few keyword spaces, there is plenty of organic SERP to develop business. If your domain isn't in the SERP, getting it there will give you more reach. If your marketing message isn't convincing, rewrite it to be effective, or re-analyze your customer's market to better understand their perspective. If you are losing to your competitor, figure out why. If Google is giving you trouble, solve the problems.
And if you honestly see that you don't know what to do, don't know why the things you do aren't working, and don't have a plan to change that, it's time to get another job.
Quit Whining. You're Polluting the Cesspool
Stop complaining, and stop being an easily-recognizable target for the increasing numbers of ill-informed business people who are making bad moves because they think they understand SEO. Left on their own, without you to blame, they will seek "real help" and that supports effective SEO and the real SEO industry.
When you publish ignorant blog posts, irresponsible claims about SEO, and rants calling for clarity from Google on SEO tactical issues, you are just splashing around muddying the waters without any chance of taking home fish. You're becoming a simple nuisance, ruining the fishing for everyone, for no valid purpose.
And if You were really only in SEO for the Celebrity…
If you were only in SEO because it was rewarding to be an instant entertainer, micro-celebrity, and self-proclaimed "successful Internet entrepreneur", it should be easy to make an excuse and take a quiet exit at the top of your game.
Do you want to WIN, or just "Be the Winner"?
One of the best aspects of travel (aside from, well, traveling) is that I get to meet real people in pursuit of real goals. I get to discuss SEO and Internet business, plus careers, with people from all over the globe (as long as they speak English, sigh). This includes sharing unique experiences that really cannot be observed any other way than in-person, or via storytelling. Travel is all about story telling, and listening.
With "competitive seo" there is little room for debate. It's about winning. It's about being in front of potential customers when they search Google, with a higher prominence than everyone else (including all of the other SEOs trying to win that audience).
You can define what it means to be "Number 1" for any given niche or keyword set or market, as appropriate, but the honest definition must match performance. The #1 spot is defined as the spot that has been observed to convert the best. The Money Spot. The best spot to win becomes the #1 spot, every time. In SEO, the owner of #2 is not a contender, but the first loser.
There is a lot of nuance in the above-mentioned concepts of "customer", "niche or keyword set", and "conversion". In my experience, very few professionals have a strong grasp of overall SEO. Most are tactical practitioners focused on some subset of the above.
So it is always interesting to meet and discuss SEO with those who claim it as their profession, job, vocation, past-time or calling. I find it very easy, with a brief discussion, to ascertain the technical skill levels, experience with general or keyword-specific SEO, vision, perspective, and even the "religion" of an SEO. Which is why it's a great idea to travel (to meet them).
One of the first things I have to ascertain about any SEO is… does he want to win, or just want to be The Winner?
Is it possible that the best SEO could be known to be a great SEO? This is a tough question that many in our industry do not understand to be difficult. In fact, many think it is an obvious, silly question. According to many I meet, the best SEOs are up on the stage, demonstrating their abilities. They are well known, admired by their peers, and both well-paid and highly-regarded.
Now we can debate at length why this is not true, how things could possible work out if it were true, etc., but it is very likely such a discussion will first be side-tracked by a second question – who cares? Clearly the famous Top SEO knows hir stuff… isn't that all that matters? Or better yet, who cares? If I feel it is a certainty that every time So-and-So takes the stage, I learn great stuff… does it really matter if someone is a "real SEO" or just a knowledgeable and entertaining very good one?
Yes, it does. Because…money.
Only while this thing we call SEO is new and requires great learning skills and determination, will demand will be strong and salaries respectable. As the US market is learning now, if SEO gets de-mystified, or Google takes most of the "best spots", only the winners will survive. And that forces people like me, the ones who hire "real SEOs" and put "real SEO" to work every day, to redefine "winners" very carefully.
If you are serious about SEO, are you trying to win, or just trying to be a "winner"?
If you are trying to win, good on you, mate. Best of luck, and hey, I'd like to meet you some time, when it's convenient. I'll buy the beer! But if you are trying to be The Winner, I'm afraid we're in different professions. The #1 spots don't really matter much to you, except perhaps the #1 spot for "Top SEO", which has no value in my game.
So where does "money" come in? Throughout history, money is the means of getting things done. Money is not a posession, but a tool. For the SEO trying to win, money is a resource. For the SEO trying to be The Winner, money is a reward. There is a very big difference.
Real SEOs need the money now, to put to work on SEO. Those sacrificing everything to be "winners" will often defer what they see as rewards, for later. The budget is spent on travel, clothes, appearances, and perhaps picking up the check when dining with those who can help them move up the ladder.
But most of what we get to observe is not at that level. We don't get to witness many true winners at SEO.
Regarding those who win at "Being The Winner", we may see them on stage, but we don't have access to them. They refuse speaking engagements unless they are the keynote speaker, with large audience. They require luxury suites with building and floor-level security. These "rock stars" are celebrities, but they believe they are Winners.
Try getting attention from them at a networking event. They famously refuse to "meet-up" insisting instead on only "meeting UP" i.e. accepting invitations that are "upstream" from their status.
Regarding those who actually win the #1 spots, we don't have access to them, either. Anyone who has ever battled and won a top money spot will admit that staying there requires commitment and confidentiality, as well as diligence. SEO is constantly changing. What worked last year, is different now. No one wants you to take the stage and discuss what worked last year. Getting up on stage and talking about what is working now won't be good for performance.
Less obviously, it can be very difficult to discuss practical SEO matters with a peer, without revealing potentially dangerous vulnerabilities. SEOs are opportunists with skills.
It's relatively easy to access the winners who are retired from the game. They are busy living life… just go out there and do something and you'll find them right next to you, working hard at enjoying life and not being at work. Great resources on matters of entrepreneuring, fund raising, family and life matters, and truly wonderful footwear, but not current SEO.
If you sense this issue in your SEO life, you have my sympathies. If you disregard this as an irrelevant harangue, good luck in your quest for RockStar Status.
In between, is life as an SEO. And we must live life, for all else is naught.
If I can influence you in any way, I urge you to recognize that there are these two disparate forms of Winning in SEO. I encourage you to acknowledging (to yourself) which path you are on with your true intent, so as to help you existentially. You may live a fuller, happier existance, with less need to seek external validation (i.e. less struggle).
I admit, it also helps me put my money to work hiring effective SEOs and enabling them on paths of mutual success. But honestly that is of secondary importance. Because the greatest part of living life is sharing it with people. All of it. The good, the bad, the joys, the pain, and most of all, the wonder. And for those stimulated by intellectual discussions, it's truly awesome to meet winners and discuss specifics of the roads traveled.
Unfortunately, those striving to be The Winner seem to be sadly devoid of the truth that is our human experience. If they have it, they're hiding it as a secret past. If they don't have it, they live in fear of encountering it, or in denial that it is important for their journey.
If there is one thing we can learn from video game players, it is the importance of playing the game. Stop talking about the game. Instead, be the gamer. We can talk about it later, and it'll be awesome.

Open source syncing, simplified
Keeping contact and calendar data in sync across devices and applications is not a new problem, but it is still a problem. Funambol offers an open source syncing solution.
Funambol is enterprise-level open source software that provides an elegant and powerful syncing solution. To demonstrate what Funambol can do for you, I'll look at an example scenario in which I use a combination of the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client and Lightning calendar module as my primary tool for managing contacts and calendar data on a desktop machine or laptop. While on the move, I'd like to access this data on my mobile phone via its built-in address book and calendar applications.

When we released the Sierra Cascades Bicycle Route maps in the spring of 2010, it was with our usual excitement. As the summer passed, we received the normal amount of corrections and additions associated with a first edition. What we didn't expect to receive was the feedback about the riding conditions of California State Highway 89 (SR 89). Cyclists were concerned about their safety, sharing this often shoulder-less highway with large vehicles — logging trucks in particular.

Jen, Jen, Jen, Jen, Jen!!!! I needed a meatless dinner tonight and I was tired of the same ol same ol. This pizza rocked my world! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and wouldn't get tired of it. The balsamic, pepper, berry sauce, and cheeses come together perfectly. I didn't have any fresh berries and used frozen which also worked, just make sure to drain them well. I used the marscapone substitute from this site and light brie. I didn't serve it with wine, that would have taken up too much space in my stomach- I just wanted pizza! Thank you Jen- this should have won :) PAC 09 EDIT: I brought over the left overs (I tried to eat the whole thing ;) ) to my grandmother's house and we enjoyed it with martinis and Manhattans. Everyone raved about it even after being microwaved!
Flavor wise, this is delicious! Nice and creamy, with some sweetness, but not too much thanks to the balsamic vinegar. Now I did have a cooking error, and I don't know if it was just my oven or because it was my first time baking with mascarpone, but when I checked on it at 12 minutes, a bunch of it had melted off and drizzled all over the oven, making it smoky etc. So next time I will check on it sooner and put an extra pan beneath it while it cooks. Skipped the photo because of this as well - will try to get one next time! Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 60
Wow, this was amazing. I think I had too much sauce for my pizza base, but no worries, I will adjust for next time. Totally delish and looking forward to making again with chicken next time. Yum!
Fabulous! Took this to a gathering at a friends, a while back and forgot to post the review. Used Substitute for Mascarpone Cheese as a substitute, and did not use the caviar. The ingredients for this pizza are magic. They come together very nicely, and went great with our cocktails. Thanks for posting!
The use of contest ingredients is stellar here. Usually, when I think of fruit pizza, I think of those overly sugary ones you get at a buffet but this has forever more changed my thoughts on that. I enjoy balsamic vinegar with fruit and it was beautifully paired with the cheeses and pizza crust here. Fun...not fussy to prepare, sophisticated but casual enough that it doesn't look like you were trying too hard. I used my own whole wheat crust and enjoyed mine with a glass of red wine but I am thinking about how good it would be with a chilled glass of white also. I am jealous of Emmy trying it with the prosciutto, I bet that was GOOD! This one is worth a special the trip to the store and extra cost of ingredients. This is a winner.
What a great idea, we enjoyed this very much, the topping was delicious. there was a bit of a problem with the crust, it took longer than stated to melt the cheese which made the crust quite hard and chewey, but this could have been my oven. It was cooked in my oven but made and put together by a friend for our dinner party as a surprise dessert. The 5 stars are for the topping especially, just excellant! Good Luck in the contest.
my personal favorite and winner! i was looking for something like this for ages. I used my own pizza crust and it was great! I loved the flavours. We had it with some organic french red wine which was great. We had left overs as we are only 2 and i enjoyed it with a good cup of coffee. I will make this many more timed and try different cheese with it, also i thought it would be great to put different cheeses on the sme plate. Congratulations, i hope you win with this outstanding recipe - both in idea and taste!
Woah! This is genius. I added prosciutto, because, hey, sweet, salty and cheesy are bound to be a winner, right? And it was. I love brie on pizza now, and the berry sauce really works on this one. I thought it might be too dessert-y, but it really wasn't. This would make a great cocktail party appetizer if you cut it into little squares.
This is a special recipe- Very creative use of contest ingredients that has produced a different wonderful dessert pizza - Perfect for an after the theatre snack with a crisp cold bottle of Reisling. I have given the recipe 5 stars because what happened was not the fault of the recipe but my own. When you bake the pizza have it on the open rack, or in a perferated pizza pan, or on a pizza stone. I didn't, I baked it on an aluminum pan - it did not get enough heat from the bottom resulting in a soft crust (even after 20 minutes). It was VERY difficult to cut and quite chewy. The berry sauce is delicious and would be great on waffles . The meld of flavors from the mascarpone, Brie and fruit sauce is perfect. I will make this again but bake it properly Good luck in RSC12 - you have a winner!

Time for another shop. There are plenty of places that can fix that. If you ride hard in muddy conditions sprockets and chains can wear quickly. Do you ride in mud and water a lot? I already asked once. Do you kknow how many miles you have put on the bike?
Put a chainstay protector on it for now such as a Lizard Skin.
Dd LBS try swap out of FD, raise/lower it, &/or adjust limit screws?
Write a personal but certified letter to:
Mr. Mike Sinyard CEO
Specialized Bicycle Corporation
Morgan Hill, CA., USA
Include within the letter your personal experiences with the bicycle. Make certain that you include the number of times that you've taken this lemon to the LBS for repair. Make certain that you give dates. Explain how it appears as though your getting " the run-around-treatment". Explain to him that you are dependent solely upon a well-conditioned bicycle with which to commute.
Make certain that you tell him that this problem has been ongoing ever since the first day you got it home. Let him know that you took it to the nearest Specialized Bike Shop, only to have them say that the problem was resolved, when only a day or so later, the problem would reappear. It has reappeared six times in a row. Everytime it reappears, you take it to the Specialized "experts", at the Specialized LBS. Let him know, that you're not doing anything unusual with the bike. You've owned bikes before and that this one is the strangest and most problematic.
Tell him about Heather and the run-around scenario and that you don't want to deal with Heather or the "experts" anymore. Tell him that you bought a new bike, with the expectations of being able to ride it. Also, let him know that you sacrificed many things and chose Specialized because of its stellar reptutation for bicycle quality and customer service. Make sure that you mention the fact that you were considering other bikes from other manufacturers, but selected "Specialized" in preference to the others, because of their reputation.
Let him know that even after this tedious ordeal, you would still like to continue to do business with Specialized, because you would like to maintain your high level of respect for the Specialized company and their products. Tell him that all you really want is what you thought you bought not eight months ago, a new bike!
Then finally, ask "Mr. Sinyard", what you should do.
(Send this letter as Priority Mail and make certain that you track it)
- Slim
Thus far, you've done everything you should have been expected to do. If the LBS you've been taking it to, is an authorized Specialize dealership, then you've completed your obligations in terms of making the required effort to resolve the problem. You shouldn't have to take your bike to multiple bike shops. You've done enough and you've suffered enough. Enough is enough!

One of the fixes tried by the shop was to upgrade to a Shimano crankset. In doing so they moved the chainline inwards but didn't bother to remedy that. The mechanic told me he "adjusted it out." That caused a problem; Now, since the chainsuck happened again, there was very little room between the chainrings and the chainstay. I'm sure this occurance of chainsuck has bent some teeth on the middle chainring due to the chain forcing itself through the small opening.
There are deep groves in the chainstay from the chain gouging its way through the gap.
Slimrider - Thank you for the information. I will definitely send Mr. Sinyard a letter.
more cops have been killed by donuts than guns in chicago it is a medical fact ask any doctor.
Lots of possible causes for your problem:
Mal-positioned front derailleur
Chain too long (hence lack of tension on lower gears)
User error.
Yup, I said user error. If you have a setup with a wide range of gears, then inevitably the chain will be too slack on some combinations. So when changing down from big ring to small ring, you should change the rear to a larger ring *first*. This will help maintain chain tension.
Even the pros drop a chain now and then - I seem to recall someone did it in the TDF and lost their jersey.
Yea. They keep telling me I don't know how to shift.
more cops have been killed by donuts than guns in chicago it is a medical fact ask any doctor.
I fear you're on your way to small claims court! However, first see how the letter works out with the CEO. Make certain that you file with small claims at least a month, before your components warranty wears out.
- Slim
I hadn't looked closely at teh photo earlier but judging from his photo, the chain is dry, very dirty and does not look to be in good operating condition. Very dirty to be blunt. If I were a rep and saw that, I'd say it was your fault.
MTB's are ridden in dirt mud across streams etc but they need to be cleaned and well lubed to function properly. I've ridden through streams and mud but the drivetrain doesn't look anything like that poorly maintained bike picture you posted. I'd bet that if my roadbike looked like that, it wouldn't function properly either.
8 months, poor performance and a poorly maintained drive train? I' say your chances are poor trying to get your money back.
Some people think they can buy a mtn bike and that it should perform well no matter what. Not true, they need to be maintained, cleaned and lubed (more often than road bikes).
To be honest, I wouldn't show that picture to a rep, or even another mtn biker.
If that's the only shop you can get to, then do it yourself.
If you're not totally clear on this, have them show you, and have them watch you shift in the parking lot.
Hey there Sknhgy!
So how is all of this advice making you feel?...Do you feel that much of it is unwarranted?...Do you feel that most of the advice here is off the mark?...How do you feel?...Perhaps, you're now convinced that you're not shifting properly.
Perhaps you're beginning to think that you're to blame for your last six trips to the LBS.
Do you feel at all responsible for not maintaining or neglecting your bike?...Is that what you feel has happened?
- Slim
If the shop did not do that ... yet another reason to take it to another shop.
BTW - bent, broken or worn teeth will cause shifting issues. Did you get the chainring replaced as soon as you noticed the bent teeth? Are they bent or just worn?
Another question ... how often do you clean your drivetrain?
A quick glace through Zinn's Cycling Primer and I see that there are several suggestions to fix the problems mentioned by the OP, most of which the OP has not mentioned trying.
sknsgy, before you entertain any ideas of pursuing a refund (after 8 months of riding in the dirt??), or small claims court or anything, you'd better be able to detail exactly what your shop did to try to fix the problem.
Visit 1 - shop mechanic cleaned drive train
Visit 2 - shop mechanic installed chain catcher
Visit 3 - shop mechanic upgrade to a Shimano crankset
Etc. etc.
And then I'd advise having a look at some bicycling books (which you should be able to acquire from the library) to see if there are other solutions which you (or the shop) have not tried yet. If your shop won't try them, another shop might be willing to try those solutions.
There are, no doubt, books that will teach you how to shift as well. That's not the shop's responsibility ... that's yours.

I use Epic Ride semi-dry lube. About every other ride I brush the chain with a toothbrush, wipe it with a rag, then apply a drop of lube to each roller. The excess is removed. If you look at the picture, the chain is clean and so are the teeth. I was riding on dusty double track. There is going to be some dust on the bike. On that day I rode for a short while behind a group on horses. One reason I turned around was because they were raising a cloud of dust.
I maintain my bikes.
You can't tell me a dusting of dust is going to cause chain suck. Do any of you ever ride off road? From some of the recent comments, I don't think you do. That chain is in no way stiff.
My comment on shifting was meant to be sarcastic.
I have other bikes and I've ridden gravel screening covered trails like the Katy for days on end and my drivetrain has gotten filty but there has never been a hint of chainsuck. Just really dirty chains.
But thanks all, for the comments. Kind of gives me an idea of what the customer rep may ask me. This should help me prepare for that conversation. I dropped the bike off at the shop today and the rep is supposed to be there next week.

should probably have cleaned it off before hand if you didn't want comments about it being dirty then
Sounds to me like Specialized should "warranty the shop", not the bike, if you catch my drift. If a mechanic can't get a bike to work straight after six visits, they suck, plain as that.
I can only guess two reasons why you haven't taken it elsewhere yet -- either this is the only Specialized shop in your area and you want the work to stay covered by warranty, or there's no other shop at all.
I'm sure others will agree, look at the picture, your bike is filthy and is not maintained properly. Be sure to show that pic to the rep, I'm sure he'll get a good chuckle out of your claim..
In the meantime before you file your claim, let's play a little arm chair mechanic maintenance game. OP says he doesn't ride his bike across streams, I have but I clean my drivetrain immediately after knowing it won't function properly with gunk on it. I also clean my drivetrain after every 2 or 3 rides and I only ride my MTB in the dirt.
Now compare the rollers on my bike to the rollers on his chain. More importantly, take a look at huge build of of gunk on his middle ring, which I'm sure is also present on his small ring.
My drive train is dirty at this moment under my standards but will be cleaned before the next ride, but it is immaculate compared to his system in normal riding conditions.
Good luck with that "I want my money back" claim!
Take a look at my rollers and the middle and small chainrings.
mtbchain by gulpxtreme, on Flickr
Now take a look at the OP's mess of a drivetrain. Check out the gunk on his middle ring. Tell me which system will operate properly and which system is maintained by an armchair mechanic and chain suck expert?
006 by gulpxtreme, on Flickr
Here's an even closer look at the OP's clean defective drivetrain. Check out the crud I underlined with red. I myself would be embarrassed to bring up this issue to a rep knowing my rings looked like this. This isn't a warranty issue, it's a poor maintenace issue.

Riding across a stream, which the Op doesn't do.

Blimey, I'm the first person who suggested 'user error' and look what it has triggered!
MRBeanz, my drivechains are considerably grubbier than the OP's; the gunk is unlikely to make the chain drop off unless it bridges the gap between the small and middle ring. Also, in his original post he said that the shop had replaced the crankset once.
My money is on a chain that's too long coupled with minor errors in shifting technique.
The OP says he has bike experience so I doubt his shifting technique would be the issue. If a mtn bike has to clean to shift, it is news to me. I am thinking he should take it to a builder and see if it wasn't manufactured with some part out of line. Mistakes happen even with all the jigs they use. I wouldn't ask for my money back but for a different bike. Rent one just like it and take it for a ride and see if that one works. The company owes you a different bike if that is what is wrong, not your money back unless they have a satisfaction guarantee.

Im writing a custom view controller container as per the iOS documentation on view controllers and i'm struggling on finding an elegant way to present the first view controller that also forwards the relevant display messages like
viewWillAppear: automatically.
When i try
transitionFromViewController:toViewController:duration:options:animations:completion: with the
fromViewController: as
nil i get an error. I have resorted to animating the view into the view hierarchy with a
UIView animation block. This seems to break the automatic forwarding of the appearance methods and means its my responsibility to call
viewWillAppear: and
ViewDidAppear: at the appropriate times. Is there a more efficient way to transition the first view on to the screen that takes care of the appearance and rotation methods?
My code looks a little like this for animating in the first view controller.
self.visibleViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[self addChildViewController:self.visibleViewController];
[self.visibleViewController viewWillAppear:YES];
[self.visibleViewController.view setAlpha:0];
[self.view addSubview:self.visibleViewController.view];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
self.visibleViewController.view.alpha = 1;

'Zhivago' comes to musical life at Playhouse
Yuri, the central character in Boris Pasternak's monumental novel "Doctor Zhivago," had a full life. A member of Russia's upper middle class, he was a doctor in the Imperial Army during World War I, and actively involved with different political factions that struggled for power in the Revolution that followed. And he shared these exciting events with Lara, the love of his life.
Now the fictional Yuri is involved in an even greater adventure. A group of award-winning theater talents are turning his story into a musical at the La Jolla Playhouse.
Michael Weller, playwright and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, is writing the book. Lucy Simon, composer of "The Secret Garden" —— for which she received a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award and a Grammy Award —— is writing the score. Michael Korie and Amy Powers are the lyricists. Two-time Tony winner Des McAnuff, the Playhouse's artistic director, is directing the production, which is being presented as a work-in-progress through the Playhouse's Page to Stage Program.
Although they are involved with the changes and rewrites that are inevitable with any new productions, the creative team members talked recently about the challenges and rewards of working on "Zhivago."
Weller credits Simon for the idea of turning Pasternak's novel into a musical.
"She and I have been talking for some time about adapting the novel 'Little House on the Prairie' as a musical. Then two-and-a-half years ago she came up with this idea," Weller said. "I wasn't too keen about the project. I wasn't too sure that the book was adaptable. Doctor Zhivago is a floppy mess of a book. It doesn't even have a wind-up. It would require a lot of surgery. And there was no point in re-doing the movie, which is just one opinion on the story.
"I thought about it, but couldn't come up with a way to tell Zhivago's story. Then it came to me all at once," he said. "We had gone skiing, and the kids were slow getting dressed. Suddenly I saw how story could be adapted, and the minute we got home I sat down at the computer."
Weller said "Zhivago" differs from most of his previous work in that it required an enormous amount of historical research.
The story is different in his movie work. Weller wrote the screenplay for Milos Forman's production of "Ragtime," which is set in the early part of the 20th century. He also wrote screenplays for "Hair" and "Lost Angels."
Weller divides his time between movies, television and the stage. His play "Ghost on Fire" had its world premiere at the Playhouse in 1985 (performed at the now-demolished Warren Theatre before the Mandell Weiss Theatre was built.
His "Moonchildren," " Loose Ends" and Spoils of War" enjoyed Broadway runs. "What the Night Is For" was recently produced at Laguna Playhouse; and "Approaching Moomtaj" played last fall at New Repertory Theatre in Boston. He was also writer and producer for the TV series "Once and Again."
Simon accepts full responsibility for getting "Zhivago" started.
"I can do this, I told myself," Simon said. "I've loved the novel Doctor Zhivago for a very long time, so long that much of it is in my blood. And I relate to it on a more personal level. When the movie came out, my husband and I were living together, unmarried. I was 37, and ready but he was reluctant. Then we saw the movie, and a week or so later, he suggested that we get married. When I asked him what had changed his mind, he said, 'I kept thinking of that schmuck Zhivago, letting that gorgeous Lara get away.' "

Organics on the rise
I just caught part of a show called "American Consumer" on PBS. On today's show they discussed something that's been particularly important to me lately – organic foods. In the U.S., organic foods are regulated by the government, which is reassuring because you know that if you buy something labeled organic, it truly will be organic. Here's a little bit about the labeling process per USDA Organic Standards Fact Sheet. Products labeled: 1. 100% Organic must be just that—100% organic ingredients. 2. Organic with the USDA Seal must contain 95% organic ingredients by weight. 3. Made with Organic Ingredients must contain 70% organic ingredients byRead More →

If Isaac Newton used mindmaps, why aren't you?
Ayman Al-Abdullah
February 7, 2016
Today we got you the unreal deal of two years of MindMeister Pro at 82% off!
What's the first thing you do when you're planning a goal?
Probably reach for your To-Do list, right?
But how do you know what you're working on is the best use of your time?
Why not use the same tactic used by Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison, and other geniuses?
Mind Mapping.
Mind mapping is the process of creating a visual diagram of your book, goal, or project and all its related topics.
You see your brain is awesome at processing information and terrible at storing it. By writing things down, you make it much easier for your brain to focus on what matters.
Leonardo Da Vinci famously said "Everything is connected to everything else." He routinely used Mind-Mapping to unlock these connections.
Lucky for you, there are dozens of digital options to help you create your mindmaps. Now, you don't have to scribble and rewrite your mindmap as it changes or grows.
After testing a bunch of them, we found MindMeister and were absolutely blown away with how polished the app was:
They make it crazy easy to build a giant mind map that allows you to visually see all your ideas.
If you wanted full access to their Pro plan (with unlimited mindmaps, Dropbox/Evernote integrations, and ability to export your action items), it would cost you $99/year.
Instead, you can get TWO YEARS for only $35!
Use your mindmaps for:
- Goal Setting
- Project management
- Book Outlines
- Problem Solving
- Meeting or Study Notes
How much easier would decision making be if you could visually see the end result?
If you tried to get this amazing tool next week, you would be paying $60 for just 6 months of access.
Instead, today, you can get TWO YEARS for only $35!

VIDEO: Rangers add two more in the eighth for good measureMay 25th, 2016, 5:50 pm by MICHAEL AMBROSE
The Rangers added two runs in the eighth to score in six of their eight offensive half innings Wednesday afternoon on a Bobby Wilson single to score Ryan Rua and Rougned Odor's sac fly to bring home Elvis Andrus.
Rua led off the inning with a double off of Jose Alvarez and moved over to third on a wild pitch. Mitch Moreland then struck out and Andrus was intentionally walked to create a potential inning-edning double play. Wilson then connected ...Read the rest of this entry »

I work on Dell Vostro 1500 laptop which is running with Windows XP Pro SP3. Yesterday for a presentation I connected a projector on this laptop and since them my resolution is stuck at 1024x768 whereas it use to be at 1280x800.I am not able to change it in any way. Also the screen has gone very dark though the brightness is set at 100%.
To find out the problem I opened Device Manager and surprisingly found 3 monitors with the same name listed over there, that is Digital Flat Panel (1024x786). I simply uninstalled all of them and rebooted the laptop. When it system came back and I checked Device manager all 3 monitors reappeared again but the problem still remained there.
Now I think it is the driver problem. Can anyone please tell me where can I get the drivers for the same or is there is any other way of fixing this problem, please tell me that as well. Many thanks for all your helps.

This art... took me almost 2 days... (2 DAYS!!!!!!! MY WHOLE WEEKEND IS GONE!!!!!) *ehm cough* ... *calm voice*almost 2 days to finish.
I am soooo proud on this one!!! Probably my best work yet. I very like how I did the helmet.
It's my first try of a hard art like this. I would be very sad if you would say it's ugly. I spend so much time on this... Hours of work. I started to sketch it on an A3 paper around 7 P.M. of 27th February and finished around 1 A.M. (28th February). At 1 P.M. of 28th February I started to redo the sketch a bit and around 2 P.M. I started to colour (first the helmet, then face etc.). I finished it around 7 P.M. of 28th February. -_-
The photo wasn't very good, I had to do with it something in GIMP, to make it look like the real art, because the photo took out all the nice colours. >_>
Hope you like it!
P.S. Critiques are very welcomed!
Used: Pencil, rubber, coloured pencils, A3 hard paper
Time taken: ....if I would count all the hours together, it took... around 12 hours ( O_O'' )
Of course it's not ugly, it's just awesome-fantastic!
Very nice!
I love this! You did a wonderful job on Jaromír!

He was also an assistant coach for former U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena at D.C. United in 1996 and 1997. Bradley was Arena's assistant at Virginia from 1983-84.
At Princeton, he led the Tigers in scoring during his senior season of 1979, when the team advanced to the second round of the NCAAs. He began coaching the Tigers in 1984 and in the next 12 seasons built the team into an Ivy League and national powerhouse. Princeton won two Ivy titles and earned three NCAA Tournament bids from 1984-95 and advanced to the NCAA semifinals in 1993 for the first time in school history.
Bradley started his coaching career at Ohio University, guiding the Bobcats to a 10-5-2 record in 1981 before joining Arena's staff at Virginia, where the Cavaliers posted a 32-7-2 record from 1982-83.

In August 2011, Marsch was named the first head coach of MLS expansion team the Montreal Impact. He parted ways with the Impact in November 2012 after leading the Impact to the most successful inaugural MLS team record since Seattle's record 12 wins in 2009.
Marsch spent a year and a half as an assistant coach for the US Men's National Team under Bradley. He helped the team win its pool at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time the team won its pool since 1930. The US fell to Ghana in the round of 16 and finished the World Cup 12th, ahead of rivals England and Mexico. At the 2011 Gold Cup, the US reached the final but lost to Mexico, 4-2.
One of the most decorated and respected players in the MLS, Marsch made 358 appearances in his 14-year MLS career, winning three MLS Cup titles and four U.S. Open Cup medals.

Marsch became the first player in Fire history to play in 100 games and is the team's all-time leader in that category. In 2004, he was honored as the Chicago Fire's U.S. Soccer Foundation Humanitarian of the year.
After the 2005 season, Marsch was traded to Chivas USA and was with them team until 2010. He wore the captain's armband for much of the 2008 and 2009 seasons. In 2007, he was the winner of the Chivas Regal Award, given to the player who best represents the spirit of Chivas USA.

Like Bella Thorne, the 'Pitch Perfect 2' actress wore an artistic design from the Peter Pilotto Spring 2015 collection.
While featuring a similar level of intricate embroidery and lacy embellishment, Anna's multi-coloured frock took on a breezier, boho spirit that was like a ray of sunshine on the red carpet.
Stuart Weitzman sky-blue shoes accented the tones of the dress, with effortless blonde waves and radiant, bare-faced makeup finishing off the look.
It's hard not to smile with Anna's consistent lighthearted, endearing style.

Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers
Brave New Films

Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers
is a documentary by Robert Greenwald (previously known for his retail exposé
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices)
. The film chronicles the impacts of war profiteering in Iraq by private companies on employees and their families, United States taxpayers and soldiers, and Iraqi citizens. Innovatively distributed, this movie is getting only a limited theatrical release but is also being provided in DVD format for nominal fees to those interested in hosting their own screenings. The documentary is being shown so far mostly by religious groups and political action organizations, and this reviewer attended a screening at St. Michael and All Angels, a socially progressive Episcopal church in Studio City, California.
The film opens with the carnage in Fallujah in 2004, when employees of US private security firm Blackwater were killed by Iraqi insurgents and their bodies horrifically displayed by hanging on a bridge. Their armed but unarmored convoy was attacked with rocket launchers and the men were burned and mutilated when mobs dragged them from their vehicles. The families of the victims have sued Blackwater, alleging that the employer failed to provide proper equipment, maps and staffing reportedly there were two fewer personnel in the party than required by the safety regulations specified in the contract, leaving the vital spot of machine gun operator unmanned. Another company called on the carpet here by accusations of impropriety is CACI, the firm which supplied interrogation 'support' to the Abu Ghraib prison where acts of torture were well-documented. The soldiers involved went to jail but CACI walked off with no charges because contractor oversight rules rendered them completely unaccountable.
Besides the morally indefensible acts of putting employees, and clients, in harm's way by allocating insufficient resources to protect them in order to preserve profits, and the torturing of military prisoners by civilian contractors, there is the issue of misappropriation of public money. Whether one is liberal or conservative, the misuse of taxpayer funds to enrich private interests at the expense of citizens should anger everyone who is taxed, because it is
money. The film makes the excellent point that
those of a politically conservative bent should be outraged by the wasteful awarding of no-bid contracts by the government. Such larded deals guarantee the circumvention of the conservative cornerstone of free market competition. Human nature being what it is, the motivation of rivalry for spoils is necessary for many to perform work at all, let alone of an acceptable level of professionalism to deserve multimillions in compensation. Halliburton stands accused of dire negligence in their sole-provider contract to purify water used by the GI's in Iraq their own employees alleged that water systems set up by the firm for the armed forces were unchlorinated and contaminated. The company also reportedly overcharged the government by at least $1 billion US by means of fantastical billing, and in a war at least partly about control of dwindling oil reserves, Halliburton executives in Iraq drove gas-guzzling Hummers. Halliburton was once helmed by Vice President Dick Cheney (who insists he has no conflict of interest) and the corporation has continued to be awarded sweet deals in Iraq even while under investigation.
In a spirited discussion after the film, attendees touched on related issues including siphoning of cash to an unpopular war when Americans desperately need the money (witness last year's hurricane devastation as only one pressing domestic problem), the power of corporate America in general, and the escalating lack of accountability at the highest levels of influence. This film got people talking about what's going wrong and what to do about it. That's democracy in action, grown from ethical conscience and political consciousness in a country that is one of the first great social experiments. Debate and discussion are the first steps of political will, the impetus to action. Voting is a right, but moral responsibility is a duty owed not just to one country but to the world, and it requires the examination of personal motives and those of national representatives, whether elected or appointed by contract. The world is too small now for rampant exploitation not to have global consequences. Allowing self-interested crazies to reap obscene profits by creating and prolonging conflict in an unstable region is not a sane or sustainable public policy.

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz told Dan Hellie of the NFL Network that they need to draft an outside receiver and he would prefer Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans.
"A (big-play receiver) is something we need in this offense to be successful," Cruz said. "An outside guy that can do the job and that can help fuel all the other receivers in the locker room and put some fire up under them to get them where they have to be."
Cruz's top choice for the Giants at No. 12 overall? Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans.
Cruz is right. The Giants can't rely on Reuben Randle yet and they need to keep Cruz in the slot.

First look: Andiamo Italian Ristorante in Eagan
Owner and General Manager Ramon Ruiz is testing the adage "third time's a charm" with his new Eagan eatery, Andiamo. After two other Italian restaurants have tried and failed in the same location, the odds would seem to be stacked against this most recent tenant in the corner space of this rather nondescript strip mall.
We stopped by for lunch this week to see if the food is good enough to give Andiamo a fighting chance.
There was a rather light crowd of only five or six tables for lunch Wednesday when we stopped by, mostly groups of two. The restaurant is laid out so that, were it full, it would feel quite crowded. Tables are placed a little tighter than a couple looking for a romantic, private dinner might appreciate.
The decor doesn't fit the stereotype of an Italian restaurant, personified by Buca di Beppo, for which Mr. Ruiz formerly worked as executive chef. There are no checkered tablecloths or any pictures of men who resemble video game plumbers. It's not memorably decorated, but it is clean, comfortable, and pleasant.
The menu is large enough, featuring most of the standards of Italian fare: pastas, pizzas, Caprese salad, chicken parmigiana, etc. There are panini, which are unexpectedly served with French fries.
The wine list is not huge, with 20 offerings. But it does feature a nice variety, though three different Californian chardonnays may not necessarily be the wisest use of rack space.
Some of the more interesting offerings include a parmesan gelato appetizer and a pizza topped with prosciutto, pear, gorgonzola, walnuts, and raspberry honey.
The Hot Dish sampled that pizza along with the house chicken entree, Chicken Andiamo.
from andiamomn.com
Pizza: It's a shame this location doesn't have a wood-fire pizza oven because this combination of toppings is phenomenal and could only be improved by that slight char picked up from an open flame. Thin strips of prosciutto are layered on the crust, then topped with slices of fresh pear, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, and chopped walnuts. Chopped prosciutto is sprinkled on the very top to crisp in the oven and take on a bacon-like texture. The finishing touch is a drizzle of raspberry-infused honey. It's essentially a salad with a pizza crust in lieu of greens--in fact, some greens spread on top after the oven but before the honey could enhance the dish even further.
In this picture, this dish has no capers at all.
from andiamomn.com
Chicken Andiamo: This is definitely not a dish for the caper-averse. The plate came with somewhere between 20 and 40 little caper buds mounded on the two chicken breasts smothered with prosciutto and artichoke hearts. The dish was solid but not particularly impressive. The outer edges of the chicken breasts were on the dry side, and the lemon butter sauce was unremarkable. The entree was served with a side of roasted vegetables, though mashed potatoes could be substituted, leaving no doubt that this Italian restaurant is in the Midwest.
So, what's our verdict? Will Andiamo succeed where others have failed?
While there seems to be little about Andiamo to make it a destination for the downtown/Uptown crowd, it's an acceptable option for locals looking for Italian nearby. The pizzas are good, but not good enough to drive past Punch or Black Sheep to get to. There's really no dish on the menu that would justify a 30-minute drive, and there doesn't seem to be room in the collective conciousness of metro diners for much beyond Buca, Broders, and Olive Garden.
It's ultimately a question of whether or not Eagan residents will patronize an Italian restaurant in their neck of the woods, and, unfortunately, history doesn't bear that out.

Comedian, actress and co-creator of the hit CBS sitcom "2 Broke Girls," Whitney Cummings has undoubtedly mastered her hilarious and sharp wit as a writer and stand-up comic.
Having appeared and starred in various other TV spots including Comedy Central's roast of Joan Rivers, the feature film "Made of Honor," regular appearances on "Chelsea Lately" as well as starring in her self-titled NBC sitcom "Whitney," Cummings has taken the world by storm as a daring and venturesome comedian.
In 2007, "Variety" named her one of the Top 10 Comics to Watch, and "Entertainment Weekly" honored her in 2009 as one of its "Comedy Stars of Tomorrow." Additionally, Cummings has performed with Denis Leary on their 2010 "Rescue Me Comedy Tour" and on Leary's DVD "Douchebags and Donuts." She has also appeared on "Comics Unleashed," NESN's "Comedy AllStars," TBS's "The Very Funny Show" and E!'s "The Comedians of Chelsea Lately."
Delivering her jokes to her audience in a highly conversational manner, not only does Cummings make her topics very relatable, but she is also able to include audience members in her mainly one-woman monologue.
Discussing a wide variety of topics from ex-boyfriends to different forms of birth control, men and women alike will find themselves laughing out loud as Cummings cracks her way through 90 minutes of omigod-she-actually-went-there-type jokes.
And while this show is undoubtedly fun for those who are old enough to see it, you may want to consider bringing your significant other as your date rather than your grandma considering that Cummings' material is hilariously inappropriate… and we love it.
If you're looking for a good laugh, don't miss your chance to catch this entertaining funny woman in action at the Venetian.

The BleauFan package includes two-night deluxe accommodations, two passes to BleauLive presents Kool & The Gang, a two-hour, pre-show open bar, and more beginning at $349 per night.

BleauLive is just one of the enhancements Turnberry Associates Co-Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer envisioned as part of the beachfront resort's $1 billion renaissance in 2008. Soffer wanted to create unique and exciting new guest experiences at Fontainebleau Miami Beach. The highly anticipated Kool & The Gang performance is indicative of his success.
Kool & The Gang has sold more than 70 million albums and influenced the music of three generations with such songs as "Celebration," "Cherish," "Jungle Boogie," "Summer Madness," and more.
