WASHINGTON — If you have spare tickets for Sen. Barack Obama's book-tour stop in Seattle next week, Zee Triplett is hoping you find her Internet ad.
Because Obama is a sellout in Seattle. Triplett, 26, had called to buy tickets for the senator's appearance Thursday at 2,500-seat Benaroya Hall. But the tickets for the Illinois Democrat's visit, part of his book tour to promote "The Audacity of Hope," were gone in minutes. The same for events in Boston and Philadelphia.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has plenty of real and perceived rivals (Senate opponent John Spencer, John McCain, Al Gore, President Bush, to name a few), but Clinton protégé Obama is the man being watched by her handlers most closely these days.
The presumed 2008 Democratic presidential front-runner's allies, donors and operatives always have known the charisma-dripping Illinois Democrat was toying with a presidential run. But Obama's refusal to rule out a White House campaign sends shudders through the Clinton camp.

"They were in a tizzy about the possibility of Al Gore running, they were in a tizzy about Mark Warner and now they're in a tizzy about Barack Obama," said a Democratic operative with ties to Clinton.
Obama, 45, sounded semi-presidential in an interview with Time magazine's Joe Klein, saying he hadn't "unraveled that puzzle yet," referring to the 2008 race.
Obama in Seattle
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will appear 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Benaroya Hall, where he will give a speech and sign copies of his new book, "The Audacity of Hope." The event is sold out. For more information, call 206-624-6600.
Obama also plans to make Democratic campaign stops, including a rally with Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and U.S. House candidate Darcy Burner at Bellevue Community College. Doors open to the public at 10 a.m., with speeches starting around 10:30 a.m.
Seattle Times staff
What makes Obama so dangerous to Clinton is that he's the only other Democrat (barring the entry of Gore) whose fame transcends regional and ideological labels. During a recent foray to Iowa, Obama was greeted like a rock star. He's the most sought-after Democratic official at fundraisers this year, according to Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
"Hillary's inner circle are talking about him a lot, and why shouldn't they?" said a former aide to President Clinton. "Obama's a sensation; he's one of these walk-on-water types. Everybody loves him. He's a huge threat to her — huge."
If Clinton's campaign is burdened by three decades worth of political baggage, Obama has the benefit of boarding the campaign with nary a carry-on. After less than two years in the Senate, he has only a handful of votes to be judged on, and he's done a Clintonesque job of collaborating with Republicans on noncontroversial issues.
There are uncanny similarities between the pair: Both are best-selling authors swamped by autograph seekers; both are veritable cash machines (Obama has cultivated billionaires such as Warren Buffett and developed a fundraising base on both coasts); both have been nominated for spoken-word Grammys; and both are Illinois natives (Obama likes the White Sox; Clinton is a Cubs fan who claims to love the Yankees).
Age: 45 (born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu)
Home: Chicago
Education: B.A., Columbia University, 1983 graduate; J.D., Harvard Law School, 1991 graduate
Political experience: Illinois state senator, 1996-2004; U.S. senator, 2005-present
Personal: Married 14 years; wife, Michelle; two daughters, Malia, 8, and Sasha, 4

Clinton took Obama under her wing when he entered the Senate, counseling him on how to balance fame and politics.
But there's always been an undercurrent of rivalry: In 2005, Obama quipped in earshot of a Chicago Tribune reporter: "I outpoll her in Illinois."
In Seattle, the Obama faithful are offering up to $50 each on Craigslist for an Obama ticket. A seller on eBay advertised a ticket to hear the senator speak for $125.
Triplett, a Democrat, won't be deterred if she doesn't find a ticket through her Craigslist ad.
"We're probably just going to have a group of us just go down and crash it, just to say we went," she said. "We all purchased the book together. We're reading it together. We all watched his Oprah episode together, and we watched Larry King last night together."
Chad Bronstein, an employment recruiter, arrived at the Elliott Bay Book Co. too late to buy a couple of $5 tickets. "My wife was pretty distraught," he said.
"I said there's always a price for everything, right? So I went on Craigslist and typed in Barack Obama, and I saw a bunch of people trying to buy tickets for $10 and $20," Bronstein said. "So I put it for $30." He got the tickets.
Karin Power, who works with nonprofits, also is willing to pay $30 to hear Obama in Seattle.
"I read 'Dreams from My Father' last year or so and appreciated his background more," she said in an e-mail. "I admire that he hasn't let politics go to his head yet … "
Unlike others, she's not hoping to go because she wants to see a 2008 presidential candidate. The year "2008 is too soon, and I think he's still too green," she wrote.

WTF? I'm here now? First I invade Youtube, then Deviantart, and now here? Now, I think this is a good place for me to be, as I am planning a mod of my own. A WarCraft 3 mod, btw.
I gave Mental Omega a 10 when it was still 2.0 Psi... and I wish I could change that to a 9 because 3.0 can't go over a 10.
What Speeder and the Mental Meisters have done is turn the most broken Command and Conquers BAR NONE (Yeah, say what you will about Red Alert 3. That game is the most stable game VANILLA of the series, but paid by being nearly unmoddable) into one of the most balanced RTSes that I can think of.
I for one accept the new Sub Factions. Why? Because it helps diversify the tactics. If there was anything Kane's Wrath and Zero Hour did right, it was having unique sub factions with their own rules, and Mental Omega destroys the concept of "Vanilla" factions to give a more unique experience. Sure, most armies have analogues to most units (Every faction having an MBT, an advanced anti-air, a siege unit, an anti-ground unit) but the end result, with the assistance of Ares makes each faction feel fresh but evenly matched, save for US, which I hope is improved in the next update.
Save/Load is an issue I can live with, and the difficulty of the campaign is certainly surprising, but not unexpected. After all, Mental Omega has always had hard as nails campaigns, and there's mods with HARDER ones (Looking at Twisted Insurrection on this one). One thing that I absolutely ADORE about this campaign the the sheer number of callbacks and references to Red Alert 2... Each of the first missions all call back to a specific even in the campaign of Red Alert 2 (Peacekeeper has us starting the game, while the Allied and Soviet campaigns begin with an inversion of the events, with Soviets failing to take Washington DC, and Allies failing to save New York). Perhaps one thing that keeps me going in some missions are the call backs, like Bad Apple where the map is an EXTENDED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL THIRD MISSION OF THE RED ALERT 2 SOVIET CAMPAIGN. Dead, freakin' serious.
Over all, Mental Omega is continuity porn for anyone who likes CNC, and is the best RA2 Story yet.

The paddy price is falling
Dear Editor,
Harvesting of the present rice crop has commenced in Region Two, in the central parts of the Essequibo Coast. The exercise is moving apace in the southern sections. The paddy is somewhat infested with red rice, and farmers are not optimistic that the prices will not decline further from the present price of $3000 for the highest grade.
It is reported that the price has fallen from $4000 to $3000 for a bag of Extra Grade paddy. This trend which was non-uniform in the past has had more serious consequences for the rice farmers recently. Guyana is the Caribbean's main rice producer, and last year faced a serious threat to its earning position as other rice producing countries began offering more competitive prices.
It is not clear what is responsible for this drop in paddy prices. It was reported that there is a lot of the last crop rice in the millers' warehouses, and with the current trend it is expected that at some point these prices will level off.
The implications for rice farmers could be quite serious indeed. Rice farmers will have to expect that these falling prices will soon carry over into this year's market and will inevitably threaten the comparatively high prices previously being enjoyed. In addition, if rice from outside sources enters the Caribbean markets, Guyana producers will have grave difficulty in competing with them. The farmers will have to pay greater attention to cost of production as well as efficiency. However, with the high stocks in the country, a cutback in production will not provide a temporary reprieve, as the release of stocks from other countries will further add to the pressure on the low prices.
The outlook for the 2014 rice crop is quite uncertain at the moment. Guyana has been expanding its rice production; however, recent changes in the international arena and trade liberalization could eliminate or at least sharply reduce Guyana's access to rice export markets. It is prudent to draw attention to the recent revelation that millers are engaged in low price fixing.
Yours faithfully,
Mohamed Khan

"Erice, medieval town on a hill" Top 5 Page for this destination Erice by ludogatto
Erice Travel Guide: 26 reviews and 105 photos
Erice names from the sicilian-italico Eryx, that it means "mount", in fact it raise on the San giuliano mount, 571 mt looking to Trapani city.
The zone, of extraordinary beauty, and naturally fortified, was inhabited from the times of the Advanced Paleolitico and Neolithic (the coves). It was Elimna under the infuence of the Cartaginesi and later the Greeks wanted it for its immense riches.
Destroyed during the 1^ punic war from the Cartaginesi, Erice were conquered from the Roman in the 248 a.C., which brought back to the ancient splendor the tempio, dedicating it to the goddess Venere.
Afetr followed the conqueror history of Sicily: it was bizantina, then Arabic, therefore normanna.
The Normanni builded the famous Castle. During the middle Age churches and convents were built up, and from then, except some baroque palace, the roccaforte and remained the same one. Inside of the town-walls building (of which they are remained three doors of medieval age) can be admired the Dome, built up in the 1300's, Castello normanno, the church of Saint Martino, the church of Saint Domenico (today center of the scientific Center Ettore Majorana), the civic museum, and all the charming small village, from the typically medieval structure.
There is a new funicular that leaves from Trapani, but I heard abut some problames again...so it's better to go up with the car or busses.

Ciao Simona, good advice on prices in Erice. My wife and I only had the pastries on a walk in Erice, as well as two meals. My grandmother was from Messina, so I love all of Sicilia. Larry
Ahh, I knew I would find treasures touring with you. I wanted to visit Erice when I was living in Mondello, but never got a chance - so love to see it here.
Ci sono stato. Cittadina criptica, arcana (specialmente di notte), ma nello stesso tempo, la sua bellezza mi ha lasciato a bocca aperta. E quel vento che tira lí di continuo! Fa venire i brividi. Spero che un giorno avró la possibilitá di tornarvi.
Gosh, so different to when I was there. We were almost the only people walking around. Thank you for jogging my memory. I'll have to go and check out my Sicilian pages again.
Nice place, Sicily is so beautifull

What if Jesus were to tell you in first person about His time on earth?
"You are about to read an account of the life and ministry of Jesus that combines all four gospels into a single narrative and allows Jesus himself to tell us the story," writes veteran Bible translator Robert H. Mounce at the beginning of Jesus, In His Own Words. "Although the style is contemporary, the desire is to clarify the meaning of the original text rather than to impress the reader with clever phrases." To that end, Mounce's more conversational interpretation of the Gospels allows the reader to "be there" during Christ's birth and boyhood, at his baptism by John the Baptist, on the hillside when he spoke about the kingdom, amidst the miracle workings, and so on. His approach makes the words fresh to longtime believers and inviting to those seeking Scripture for the first time.
Here are some samples of what others have said about Jesus, In His Own Words:
"...outstanding and tremendous job on this wonderful book that gives such impacting words directly from the Savior." -Al Sanders
"The book uniquely presents the greatest story ever told in a fresh and living way ... one that comes from the Lord's own lips. Mounce brilliantly turns the story of Jesus in the gospels to an autobiography, where Jesus is telling His own story. Amazing!" -Frank Viola

Mid-Ohio is basically Corvette Racing's home track, so it'll be great to watch the team face off against BMW, Ferrari and Porsche there this Saturday. We love the American Le Mans Series, because unlike other forms of racing?like F1 or NASCAR?the weapons-grade cars in the GT2 class share plenty of DNA with their road-going cousins. […] More »

The clinicians at Piedmont Physical Therapy are experts in treating a variety of musculoskeletal disorders providing individualized care for each patient seen. We focus heavily on the use of manual techniques in conjunction with tailored exercises to help optimize a patient's recovery. We recognize the importance of providing one-on-one care, and this is reflected in our patients positive outcomes and overall satisfaction
I have to say after just three visits with Diane in charge of my exercises my pain was reduced almost 30%! I was thrilled!! I continued visiting for another 4 weeks and by the time I was finished with my treatments, I was 100% totally pain free! No surgery, no medications. I was riding my bike again and walking my black lab.
Thanks for caring and treating my knee and the whole person. You have a calming effect on your patients with your caring attitude. I know I will be better in the long run with your team that got me there.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and commend your entire staff on the outstanding treatment that I received over the past several months. From beginning to end every person I spoke with was always professional, courteous and kind. In this day and age, excellent customer service is often hard to find but your staff definitely exceeded my expectations. Naturally, I would recommend your clinic to anyone needing physical therapy.
Yesterday I "graduated" from physical therapy with a shoulder injury and would very much like to commend Dr. Ebbecke for treating me in a competent, compassionate, and caring way. He is truly a great asset to the practice. In addition, everyone was courteous, friendly, and cooperative. I would highly recommend your office to anyone who needs physical therapy. Thank you.
Thanks to Dr. Beech for all the hard work on me. Sunday I will play my first round of golf with my new knees.
Just a small token of my appreciation for the excellent care provided to me by Dr. Beech. It was actually fun. I am continuing my exercises and showing improvement each couple of days.
I had a chance to see our patient today for follow-up. She just raves about your excellent care and I think she is doing very well. Thank you, Diane. Please continue the physical therapy.
I can honestly say that while physical therapy may not always be easy, I never disliked having to go becacuse of the atmosphere at Piedmont. First class people always doing a respectful professional job with every patient.

2012; Time For Right To 'Gird Your Loins'!
With little effort extended nowadays to disguise it, it's a given that the vast majority in the media are more interested in advancing an ideology that reporting the news, and the 2012 election will be no exception.
It is also a given that this same majority are fully vested in the re-election of Barack Obama. With this in mind, conservatives can expect to see the most negative campaign season in American history.Read More »

Natural Gas: Conventional Drilling Areas And Shale Basins
For many years, natural gas companies have been producing the fuel from "conventional" gas reservoirs, relatively close to the surface and easily accessible. New shale gas production techniques have opened much wider areas for exploration, including the Marcellus area in Pennsylvania and the Barnett and Haynesville areas in Texas.
NotesConventional natural gas drilling areas are sized by 2008 natural gas production. The Marcellus shale drilling area overlaps with the Devorian and Utica formations. Shale plays and shale basin locations updated as of 2011. Conventional drilling locations as of 2009.

I would be happy to work on a chapter, Lainy. I just had my first dream visit this past Thursday morning, and dear God I needed it. Our daughter has been under some stress, 5 and 2 year old sons, and babysitting her 16 month old nephew and to top it off her husband fell off a ladder and broke his ankle and his heel in 2 places, so she's babysitting him too. She's been needing her momma badly. She told me when she gets stressed maximum she's feel a hand on her shoulder or the small of her back and it calms her, how awesome. On Sunday I asked her if she would like her moms favorite winter jacket, now we live in the boonies and have some hellacious winter winds and her favorite winter jacket was a maroon hooded Carhardt. She gladly took it home and later in the evening her 5 year old, who was Mammies boy, came down the stairs with it on. She had a jar candle burning on the dining room table and when Noah walked in the room, the candle went out. She took that as a hey that's my jacket, but you're welcome to it.

Re: "A list for living" (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I approached my wife, tentatively, asking is there anything you want to do or see, she no, I just want my grandkids here as much as I can handle, and we did. My wife was a worrier, as is my father. I think seeing the stress my dad put on himself, for no reason, led me to not look for things to worry about. Now when my wife, Cindy was diagnosed Feb 2011, I know she worried but never showed it. We made onc appts and chemo days, date days, we'd pick out something to see and a new place to eat and go out on a date after her appt. A few times when she was having radiology on her neck, her mouth got so bad she couldn't eat, but she wanted to go and order the meal, she'd pick at it and say now you have dinner tomorrow. Even though I'd been married to her 38 yrs, it absolutely reminded me of why I loved her so much. She didn't want people around her crying and feeling sorry for her. She wanted her family, and to live life as much, with them, as possible. She told me one day, "I have decided to not worry about what I can't control". From that point on, her advice to anyone who would listen was, "don't sweat the small stuff". I try to love by her advice today, mostly because I lived though the big stuff with her. God's grace to all.

Re: Scan results...some help and suggestions please. (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi Christie, as others have said, I would not tolerate a doctor being so unprofessional as to slamming a book because I asked a question. If you are looking for recommendations...Indiana University's Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis has an excellent oncologist very familiar with CC, Dr. Paul Helft. He is very patient and will talk to you and answer your questions as long as you have them. They also have a great surgeon familiar with CC and an aggressive reputation for doing resection surgeries and implanting liver infusion pumps, Dr. Michael House. In my two years of dealing with staff at Simon, while fighting my wife's CC, we never had one negative experience with anyone, a fantastic hospital with fantastic staff. Hope this helps, prayers and best of luck with your momma.

Re: How things are going (26 replies, posted in General Discussion)
My friend,
I think about your family everyday, as I know you did mine a few months back. I read the other day, about the pain of grief, "It doesn't get better, it just gets different".
Well, as I approach 6 months since Cindy passed, I am seeing, feeling some things differently. Yesterday, while driving to an auction, I heard "Loving Her Was Easier" by Kris Kristofferson, one of the 2 songs played at Cindy's funeral. I was able to listen to the song and not lose it, just think about her and how deeply I loved her for 40 years. I walk into the auction and the first thing I see is an antique wooden milk crate, one of the things we always looked for at sales. It was painted in black letters Prairie Farms Dairy, Carlinville, ILL...Cindy's hometown! I just looked at it and said OK, OK, baby I'll buy it. It made me feel good inside!
I tell you all this because just a short time ago I would have went into full blown panic attack and left. It was JUST YESTERDAY that I realized, things are getting somewhat different. I am able, occasionally to think of her and smile and even laugh. I still cry like a baby every now and then, but not as often.
One day at a time, one step at a time. Grief is so personal, whatever you feel you need to do is what you need to do. No one can tell you whether you "are doing ot right".
As always, I keep you and your family in my prayers.

Re: strange fevers and lethargy (10 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hi Holly, I can't help you with your questions, but I just feel the need to tell you how much I admire your attitude. I don't comment very much but read many of the posts, as my wife Cindy, had made many friends on this site and it's a way for me to follow their progress and keep contact. Your compassion for others while you fight your own battle with this indiscriminate demon, reminds me so much of my Cindy's attitude and compassion. Occasionally I go back and read through Cindy's old posts and it amazes me, knowing what she was really going through, at how much concern and love she would show others and that is what I feel from you, when I read some of your comments to others, it's almost like I'm reading her posts. I lost my Cindy 3 months ago today after a 23 month battle with CC and after over 38 years together, you can imagine, I miss her very much, she was just a few days short of her 57th birthday. It's kind of strange, but for a couple of days now something has been pushing me to tell you how your compassion comes through your posts. You obviously have a big heart and I have added you to my prayer list. God Bless You. Ok now whoever or whatever has been leading me to tell you this...I did it, and I hope this doesn't seem to weird.

Re: New one for my Believers! (32 replies, posted in Members' Cafe)
I've already had several "God winks". The day after Cindy passed our son had been in our bedroom talking to his wife on his cell. He came out and said "man Dad, it's so nice in there with the window open". I said, "huh, did you open the window, because I didn't". Neither of us opened the window but there it was cranked wide open and for Feb. 6th in Indiana it was a beautiful day. Our red tail hawk who has been with us for years nesting in a huge white oak on the back of our property was circling and screeching away. Cindy talked to the hawk every time he came through and he/she became quite social to us. On the day of Cindy's funeral, a red tail led the procession all the way from the funeral home to the cemetary, flying in front of the hearse. He would land wait for the first few cars, containing family, to pass and would then fly back to the front of the hearse and repeat the process.
A few nights later the TV was on and a commercial for a hospice group came on. The nurse was taking care of a Scandinavian lady and had been told, by her, to make sure to open a window when she passed, as this was a Scandinavian custom, so her soul could leave. I thought OK now I get the window being opened.
I too could go on and on and it's not been quite 3 months yet, but I am a believer and it all brings comfort to me.

Re: New one for my Believers! (32 replies, posted in Members' Cafe)
Lainy, I wish I could show you a picture my daughter took on Easter Sunday. She took over 20 pictures outside during an Easter egg hunt for the grandkids. My wife Cindy had passed 7 weeks earlier and the kids insisted on having our traditional Easter at "home". Our oldest grandson Noah and Cindy were extremely close and in one picture, Noah is picking up an egg and there is a mist totally encircling him and a beautiful purple to blue orb to his right. Two other pictures showed her presence, but the one, there really is no other explanation! I took the purple/blue orb as her recognition of Easter, as it looks like an Easter egg. I'm pretty sure Pam has seen it as her and Cindy were facebook friends and she and I have become friends too.

Thanks Lainy and Marion, That is the reason I aquired my own log in. I have read a few post latley that I thought I could help with an answer or suggestion and did not want to post under Cindy's log in. As a constant caregiver for two years I have learned a few things and if I can help someone dealing with what I call the "indiscriminate demon" known as CC, I want to, and Cindy would want me to.

Re: Our cancer journey blog (15 replies, posted in Blogs)
Hi Dorien, my wife Cindy was diagnosed 4/2011 with intrahepatic CC and was treated at Indiana University Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis. August 2011 her Dr. recommended her speaking with a social worker about SS disability. CC is "on the list" of cancers qualifying a person for SS. Her process started in August and in November she recieved a check for 8 months of SS, back to the month of diagnoses. I do know you can have limited income while receiving SS disability, but am not sure of the amount. I would never make a recommendation about a person leaving their job to draw disability, although if his job allowed maybe he could work part time and be under the maximum allowed earnings. I know in our case, it was getting diificult, mentally and physically, for Cindy to continue to work while having chemo. It allowed her and I to spend more time together and with our kids and grandkids. Sadly Cindy lost the battle with CC in February of this year, three weeks short of her 57th birthday. God bless you and Kyle.

GOP Debate
(Excerpt) Read more at live.foxnews.com ...
The crowd isn't booing, they're chanting, "NEWT! NEWT! NEWT!"
Go Get Them NEWT!!
Nah...it's the role he's paid to play....
YESSSSSS!!I missed it dang...
OMG Newt GO NEWT! Standing ovation! Go freaking Newt!!!!
Newt is kicking butt. I hope Obama is watching this.
ahahahah - take that , juan - Standing ovation for Newt - booing for Juan -
Considering Newt has been given about 1/5th the time as RomBot and Santorum - He is clearly the winner - but the media won't ever admit it
Libs like pushing César Chavez Day also and it is sickening.
"Perry is going after OBAMA"
Now we're cookin'. Go Governor!
Time to hit the twitter meter Newt and Perry need help. Paul fans are taking control. He has pretty active internet fans.
Clearly, Newt is the only one there who can inspire people, who can fight the MSM, who has facts on his side, and a plan for the future.
Newt Hits a Home Run while kicking the Racist Juan Williams to the curb. Why exactly is He there in the first place??
Newt gets a standing O, what an answer. Only the elites despise earning money, WOW!!!
Yep, I agree with that ranking. If we're lucky we'll see that result in the primary election.
I rose and cheered here at home.
Not a peep.
Did you hear them chanting NEWT! He just hit 3 home runs on one question. That's a GRAND SLAM!
That's what we want against Obama. This guy can handle the liberal media.
Tht was awesome that his daughter was a janitor.
What was your ranking before? There is a president standing there. Let's put him up and take down the Marxist.
Newt has great answers. I don't think these forums do him justice, but he has to stop the knee jerk government solutions.
I wish these guys had their act together enough to get on the ballot in VA..
Whoa... this is one EPIC debate! Juan Williams - unusually annoying tonight in playing the race card - is getting schooled in SC! Wow...
I stood up and cheered...tears in my eyes. How can America NOT love this brilliant man?????????
And you guys think Newt won't b*tch slap Obama!
We need Newt to smack down the Marxist/Muslim
Like I said newt would wipe the floor with Obama!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tears in my eyes...Newt got a standing OVATION!!!!!!!
I got chills! No, I'm not kin to that jerk on MSNBC that gets chills up his leg.
Newt always knocks them out of the park when they dare to ask him a question. They are deliberately avoiding him as much as possible.
Newt says the truth.
Crowd erupts
Did you ever read the Miseducation of the Negro (1931)? a classic Black text.
That's what Gingrich just said.
: )
chop chop chop.
Newt will even clean Putin's (judo) clock! ;)
I-73 has been planned for many years as an important corridor. Glad Newt brought that up as South Carolinians will appreciate that. Mitt's gotta be getting nervous. Newt is on point tonight. And the Ricks are also kicking ass.
We need federal legislation to ensure no future debates are scheduled opposite nationally televised Jayhawk basketball games.
It is very telling that on Martin Luther King day, the racist in the room turns out to be none other than Juan Williams. Just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, it is liberal blacks that keep the racist argument alive.
Newt just bit..h slapped the racist Williams with his own words!
We need federal legislation to ensure no future debates are scheduled opposite nationally televised Jayhawk basketball games.
Newt's common sense answer trumps race baiting and PC.
Picked and Dragged the Famous Cigar Wrapper Leaves in the Suffield / Congamon lake area in CT on the boarder of MA. You weren't supposed to pierce them with your finger, had to keep them perfect if you could.
What an earthy aroma, I still can't get it out of my head. Hard Work, loved it.
Newt just took a big step towards winning this debate!!!!
Blacks kill more people than rich whites.
Yeah but
We cant point that out
Newt didn't back down. Good for him. Too bad that Juan still hasn't shaken that permanent victimhood that was bestowed upon him by the Party of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
And this is EXACTLY why Obama does NOT want to face Newt in a debate. Newt would kick his ass so badly, well, let's just say I hope Obama will be wearing dark pants during the debate. Poop stains are a pain to get rid of LOL
Paper route—78 customers, six days a week from age 12-17.
Plus started working in a machine shop PT when 17 through college to pay my way.
Learned a lot of life lessons that way.
Juan needs to go back to NPR. He cannot be rehabilitated.
Those questions were horrible.
Newt is brilliant on his answer to the charge of racial insensitivity re janitorial jobs for children. Standing ovation as he stands on the Declaration of Independence opening and declares that he will be the anti-Obama-food-stamp-unemployment pres!!!! GO NEWT! Fox cuts away on the standing ovation!!!
My hands hurt from clapping!
Woo Hoo! Newt just got a standing "O".....DId you notice the smile on Bret's face?
I think FOX picked him up just to say they have a liberal. (Him and Colmbs)
It was gorgeous. Can only hope SC votes like they have a brain.
I love the way Newt does not back down from any of his former comments. He doubles down on them.

Hi, I recently purchased a new computer and when moving my video files on my external hard drive over, the video preview thumbnails do not work anymore.
I am running Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit.
I have downloaded the latest xvid codecs so I asssume that is not the problem? (I can play the video files)
I have checked all the settings under performance and folder options and that does not seem to be a problem either.
I found something on the internet about a command prompt shmedia.dll and I tried to run that and I could not. It appears that the shmedia.dll file is not even in my c:/windows/system 32 folder
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to Do Wax Painting
This is a great artistic exercise using simple wax crayons, plain paper and black paint. The first stage consists of drawing a crayon picture and is followed by brushing over it with black paint. The resulting picture will have a black background wherever the paint rests, with the wax crayon drawing standing out. This is because the paint won't stick to any spot drawn with crayon. Depending on how creative you feel, you will be able to make the most amazing pictures. It is great fun for young and old alike.

Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Take a plain colored card paper - preferably white or some other very pale color. You could also use strong paper, as long as it can absorb paint without becoming too moist.
3Decide on your design or illustration. Perhaps sketch it out with an erasable pencil first, which you can then trace over with the crayons.
4Draw the picture. Using the wax crayons, draw your picture, design or cartoon. If you want, you can even just write a message - great for a party or a sign.
5Paint with black. After doing the crayon work, give a wash of black paint over the whole picture. The black paint color will not stick to the drawing done in wax crayons. Your picture, design or words should stand out boldly.
6Hang to dry. Let the painting dry flat somewhere warm and airy. It shouldn't take too long and then you can hang it up and admire it.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Make sure the crayon is is really thick, or the paint may stick.
- You can use fluorescent wax crayons or white color that will give you a horror effect after giving a wash with black! This could be a great Halloween or scary party effect.
- Put down newspaper under the painting to avoid harming the surface you're painting on.
- Make sure the paper you use is strong enough for the paint.
Things You'll Need
- White lightweight card or strong paper; pale colors okay also
- Black paint (children's art paint is best)
- Crayons
- Paintbrush
- Water to clean off paintbrush
- Newspaper for covering painting surface
- Imagination

hey say that conspiracies are just superstitions, created by the general public to create hysteria. I say they're true, and that's because of that one experience…
It was sunny and the air smelled of freshly mowed grass. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and- oh who am I kidding. It was HORRIBLE. It smelled of pit sweat and the only sounds were the agonizing screams of kids reuniting with their bullies. The first day of school. Like 9th grade was hard enough. It was like returning to Nazi Germany after Hitler personally killed your family. I saw the POKE again, a group of kids obsessed with Pokémon. I sorta like Pokémon. Only a little. I used to LOVE it, but then came the Sinnoh region and it became a joke. Back to the current subject, all of the new classes were a bore and I was glad when school ended. But then, when walking back to school, I was ambushed and thrown into the back of a truck and was then hit with a frying pan, knocking me unconscious.

I think he'll be able to do a lot with the program with the new facilities, this recruiting class and the next one. I don't think there's any reason why the program can't be headed into a direction of greatness. I have extremely high expectations."

"All of humanity's moments can be simplified to either being a long quest or a slow swear. Ony the length of the question or swear varies.

Replacements Archives: Pow! Go the Replacements
Following last Friday's yearly tribute to the Replacements at First Ave--this year's headline featured a star-studded performance of the Replacements' debut album, Sorry Ma, I Forgot To Take Out The Trash--we thought it would be interesting to dig through the CityPages archives and look at some of the historical Replacements coverage during their early years.
The following article originally appeared in the February 18, 1981 issue of City Pages (then called Sweet Potato).
By P.D. Larson
Boy, are we lucky to live in this deep-freeze of a state! We've got a thriving arts and music scene, a relatively high st andard of living, clean air, the North Stars.
When analyzing Minneapolis' bustling local music scene, two characteristics are quickly evident: size and diversity. There are literally dozens of bands of all shapes, sizes, and musical inclinations--from the Teenage Boat People to Safety Last to Willie and the Bees, and all areas in between; there really is something for everyone.
The Replacements consist of four young lads from Minneapolis who are currently ripping up the local circuit with their blistering brand of rock--as one local observer put it, "punk without safety pins."
However, to call The Replacements punk rockers is a gross injustice, though early punk, especially the Sex Pistols, provide an important inspiration. It's true they play aggressive, relatively simple songs, but they definitely lack the sometimes rather absurd visual components and the sloganeering that shook up much of the music world a few years ago when "punk rock" first reared its short-lived head.
What The Replacements are is simply a fertile profusion of ideas and spirit masquerading as a rock band--a band with so much energy, spunk, and almost total lack of pretension, that seeing them live is a truly invigorating experience.
The Replacements have been around for a year or so, gigging heavily for about six months. Bob Sinson, 21, his brother Tommy, 14, and Chris Meyers, 20, played in a short lived jamming collective, Dogbreath. The group was lacking in the vocal and songwriting departments until Paul Westerberg, 21, entered the pictures. Their personalities quickly mixed and The Replacements were on their way.
Westerberg is the chief songwriter, vocalist, and a major guiding light in the group's arrangements. The situation is far from an autocracy; the entire group kicks ideas around during rehearsals. Paul simply sows the creative seeds and the songs grow in a collaborative manner.
Westerberg's lyrics are really quite good, possessing a good deal of humor and intelligence. Many of his songs are written with his audience in mind--simple words and themes that the listeners can directly relate to. His populist style draws on topics varying from teenage frustration to the lure of the night life. Paul doesn't attach a great deal of importance to many of his words, instead striving for the right "feeling." Very few of his lyrics contain any kind of message or profound revelations; as he says, "the message is, there is no message."
Paul works on many of his songs in his attic "studio," recording ideas simply, using only his guitar, voice, and two inexpensive tape decks. The finished products, after the rest of the band has thrown in their two cents worth, are witty without being smug, lightweight without being disposable, and most of all, enjoyable.
One of their best songs is "I Hate Music," which owes its existence to Paul's distaste for a good share of contemporary music, occasionally even his own compositions. "I hate music / Sometimes I don't / I hate music / It's got too many notes / I hate high school / Sometimes I went..."
"Love You Till Friday" is my personal favorite. It's a catchy exploration of the love-em-and-leave-em theme that is reminiscent of some of Generation X's earlier, lightweight songs. "Shut Up" also brings to mind early British Punk, though like most of The Replacements' songs, it lacks that genre's superfluous nihilism.
Other gems in the Replacements' songbag include "Careless," "Taking a Ride," "Hanging Downtown," "Otto," and "Johnny Must Die [sic]." All The Replacements' songs are simple, vigorously arranged bursts of high energy rock that accurately reflect the band's unpretentious, fun-loving attitudes.

this question feels like it would have been asked already, but I've not found anything so here goes...
I have constructor which is handed a string which is delimited. From that string I need to populate an object's instance variables. I can easily split the string by the delimited to give me an array of strings. I know I can simply iterate through the array and set my instance variables using ifs or a switch/case statement based on the current array index - however that just feels a bit nasty. Pseudo code:
String[] tokens = <from generic string tokenizer>;
for (int i = 0;i < tokens.length;i++) {
switch(i) {
case(0): instanceVariableA = tokens[i];
case(1): instanceVarliableB = tokens[i];
Does anyone have any ideas of how I do this better/nicer?
For what it's worth, I'm working in Java, but I guess this is language independant.

Space Ghost: Ooooh!
Onscreen: Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
It's a Hollywood Talk Show.
Coming this fall from the Cartoon Network
Announcer: This Fall, the face of late night is going to look, well, odd.
Space Ghost: I'll even answer mail from our loyal viewers. "Dear Space Ghost, the other kids in school don't understand me, and the really big kids beat me up all the time. Will you come destroy them? Your friend, Billy Shannon, Newark, Ohio. PS - I love your show." Well, Billy, you really need to talk to your teacher or your parents about all of this. If that doesn't work, call me, and I'll at least come and stun them real bad. Plus, what's a talk show without a co-host? And we'll have one of the best, or at least one of the shortest, the incredibly exciting Herve Villechaize. Look, Hollywood is no more dangerous than Mars or Zorak, or those big locust guys with the helmets, but let's not kid ourselves. If you don't stay on top, this business will eat you alive! I know my stars, I know this industry, and I know how to talk. (falls backwards) Oh-oh! Oh, great, I think I've pulled something. Ah-
Chris Gore: (on monitor) Hi, Chris Gore here, Editor-In-Chief for Film Threat, the other movie magazine, and I'm here in Hollywood to try out a new concept. It's called "intelligent entertainment journalism," and as long as my scripts aren't censored you'll hear all the (The rest of his speech is covered with a long BLEEEEEP and his image is covered with a CENSORED stamp.)
Space Ghost: We'll also have a special Hollywood insiders segment each week, from that unusual gentleman at Film Threat magazine.
Emma Thompson: - where you're panting and sweating and -
Space Ghost: Oooooh!
And unlike Dave or Arsenio, if an interview isn't going well I just hit inviso-power and I'm outta here. (Space Ghost invisos out)
Emma Thompson: And to do it and be here in this heat, you know, where you're panting and sweating, and it's... fantastic.
Emma Thompson: Suddenly these kind of great... passions burst out of people-
Space Ghost: When the Cartoon Network approached me about hosting a talk show, I said "Sure, I'd love to. Hollywood has always fascinated me. (His mouth slides weirdly around on his face as he speaks) And as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job on the Cartoon Network, fighting those rotten space aliens, I'd be delighted to talk to those strange Hollywood creatures." Each week I'll have penetrating, thought-provoking interviews with today's hottest celebrities, plus inside reports from Hollywood, viewer letters, musical guests, and an explosion or two. Here's a taste of what you can expect. I'll talk with famous stars.
