In 1991, Barry Christy was sitting in his office as general sales manager at the Autoplex on Canyon Drive when he decided the time was right to start building custom homes in Amarillo.
"To this day, I can't say exactly what made me decide to switch to home building," Christy said.
Almost nine years and some 200 homes later, the 37-year-old Amarillo home builder hasn't had the time or inclination to look back.
Recently, Christy's company was one of 100 residential construction companies in 16 southern states selected by Southern Living magazine for membership in the publication's sixth annual Custom Home Program.
The selection is based on factors such as reputation among local businesses and consumers; strength of presence in the local market; superior quality and attention to detail; and innovative style, according to Lee Studer, spokesman for Southern Living in Amarillo.
Southern Living is a regional lifestyle magazine published in Birmingham, Ala., by Southern Progress Corp., a subsidiary of Time Inc.
"We keep pretty busy with 15 to 25 homes under construction at any one time, so being chosen to participate in Southern Living's program was a pleasant surprise," Christy said.
Builders who accept membership in the magazine's annual program are required to build at least one house from a selection of award-winning plans from Southern Living.
Christy will build two Southern Living homes for his 50-home Jynteewood development in Hunsley Hills north of Canyon.
"We will promote Southern Living homes at Jynteewood, and these two homes should be completed by the end of January to serve as models for the development," Christy said.
The models will be priced in the $175,000 to $190,000 range.
Christy began his construction business when property at Hillside Road and Western Street became available at a good price, he said. The 52-lot development, called Southside Estates, took Christy a year to develop using local subcontractors.
"It was good timing and a good location. I sold out the development that first year," Christy said.
Since then, Christy has seen steady growth and success in a variety of custom home developments and projects throughout Amarillo and Canyon. The company has eight employees, including the office staff, a job superintendent and two warranty personnel.
Christy employs about 50 subcontractors on an ongoing basis.
"We have enough going all the time that nearly all our subcontractors work exclusively for us. That makes quality control more consistent and easier to maintain," he said.
Christy is working on several residential developments in addition to the Jynteewood project in Hunsley Hills:
Homestead Ranches is a 20-home rural subdivision off south Georgia.
Pheasant Run, located southeast of 58th Avenue and Georgia Street, has 50 homes completed and is platted for 200 more.
Highland Park Estates is a rural subdivision one mile east of the intersection of FM1912 and FM2575 on FM2575 with 20 5-acre homesites and a number of 50- to 100-acre sites.
Academy Homes is a 30-lot development in the Westover Park subdivision at the southeast corner of Arden and Soncy Road.
Christy also has four homes under construction at the Greenways at Hillside and one home in each of the following Amarillo subdivisions: Dove Landing, The Canyons and Sleepy Hollow.
While Christy said he sees most of the demand for housing in Amarillo to the west and southwest, he said he has had incredible response to the High- land Parks development in the rural area east of Amarillo.
"There are a lot of employees for Pantex and Bell Helicopter and other companies who want to live closer to their work, and homes in that area are valued up to $350,000. A lot of people want to live in these rural, isolated settings," he said.
The Amarillo developer said the local housing industry is busy and competitive.
"There are more builders in Amarillo than ever before. I think growth will slow down a little but we'll continue to see a strong residential market here," he said.
Christy, who grew up in the Amarillo area, was not a novice to the building trade.
"My brother, Paul, was a residential builder for several years," Christy said. "He had moved on to real estate investments by the time I decided to get into the business.
"Dad (Dean Christy) was a life insurance executive who built homes on the side until he retired. Now he's in real estate investments here in Amarillo, too. But I got a lot of experience working with Dad and Paul when they were in the business."

My husband, David, is not a cook. When I'm not home for dinner, he's shuttling the kids off to the neighborhood Japanese restaurant, or out for shrimp cocktail at the local Applebee's. But the one thing that always bothered him is our daughter's love for chocolate milk, and how much sugar was in every glass. So he decided to do something about it.
That's when I walked into my kitchen and found the counters filled with bottles, measuring spoons, various kinds of cocoa, and my husband measuring, pouring, and furiously writing things down on a note pad. One half of the kitchen was covered with fine brown dust. He had decided to make his own chocolate milk for the girls, one without sugar. He was a mad scientist and my kitchen was his laboratory.
First thing David figured out - unsweetened cocoa requires a sweetener. Alone, it tastes like dirt. But he didn't want to use sugar or a chemical sweetener, like Aspartame or Splenda. After some research, he settled on Stevia, which is plant-based and has a strong natural sweetness. It's roughly 300 times sweeter than sugar, which means we use less and it's natural. Here's David's recipe – this way you won't have to spend hours cleaning cocoa from every crevice of your own test kitchen.
David's Home-made Chocolate Milk
Makes one quart
This chocolate milk is my girls' favorite and they love that Daddy has to make it for them. David has talked about adding a little vanilla or other flavorings to see how they taste, but so far we've been enjoying this version with no complaints. Feel free to experiment. Unlike store-bought chocolate milk, this milk has no additives, so you'll find that the contents settle at the bottom, and you'll have to stir or shake it before serving.
3 heaping tablespoons, unsweetened cocoa
3 heaping tablespoons, Stevia
¼ cup boiling hot water
1 quart organic milk, whole or reduced fat
In a heat-resistant glass pitcher, add the cocoa, Stevia and hot water. Stir together until it forms a hot syrup. Pour milk into syrup. Stir together. If it is too chocolate-y for you, add a little more milk. Refrigerate, and serve cold.
Please double check your recipe, I know stevia, 3 heaping Tablespoons has got to be wrong... that would taste horrendous. Perhaps it was supposed to be teaspoons? (which I still think would be way too much, unless you are using one of those brands of stevia which is filled out with other stuff to measure similar to sugar) I use maybe a half teaspoon to sweeten a whole gallon of iced tea of true stevia powder! - azkate

Groucho Marx
~ Person
Legal name: Julius Henry Marx
Julius Henry Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977), known professionally as Groucho Marx, was an American comedian and film and television star. He was known as a master of quick wit and is widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators.
He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life.
His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as "Groucho glasses": a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.

We enjoyed our stay so much this is the first place we KNOW we will return. Tara was absolutely wonderful handling all our destination, travel needs, activities, and restaurant reservations for us. All her recommendations were spot on and we could not have had such a wonderful experience without her guidance, suggestions, and help. Our villa was spacious and cleaned daily. The walk to the beach was short, with beautiful raked sand leading our way. We found ourselves rising early to sit and watch the sunrise and making sure we were somewhere close to the water at sunset. Just gorgeous! Villas Hermosas has a perfect view of the sun setting. We didn't miss breakfast if we could help it with various items that included a rice and bean dish, fruit, and choice of omelette type daily. Some days waffles and yummy banana pancakes were available as well. One of our favorite parts of our stay was their dog Reef. He was the first to show us the way to the beach and almost every morning without fail would greet us on our way to sit and watch the day start, then every time we went to the beach he would come along wading out into the water with us, and sitting beside us when laying out to dry. He kept us company when we played cards at the rancho and walked us to our door some nights, He was an added bonus! He's also an equal opportunity dog. He would take off to accompany other guests or play/nap on his own. The beach itself was not overly busy and we could easily relax and watch the surfers or wade out and enjoy the waves ourselves. The hotel is beautiful and every day we saw workers keeping the sidewalks swept, the pool clean, the sand raked. Just a beautiful place to stay and very friendly. We highly recommend Villas Hermosas especially if you don't speak much Spanish. Brad and Tara will take care of you to where it doesn't even matter. We visited another hotel for our massages (Tara set it up and AMAZING) but so glad we were at Villas Hermosas. This other place was very nice but didn't have the laid back, comfortable fell, and home away from home that Villas Hermosas did. Best vacation ever!
Destinations and activities with the help of Tara:
Couples massage
In-shore fishing (where my husband caught a gorgeous sailfish - like a marlin -that isn't supposed to be in-shore! Wonderful guides and experience. The sailfish was released and unharmed.)
Zip-lining and trip to Montezuma - Tara recommended a jewelry shop that I loved! Very affordable and beautiful handcrafted jewelry in silver and various stones, pearls, etc.
Wildlife refuge tour in Curu and snorkeling around Isle of Tortuga
Rented ATVs the whole trip and so worth it and fun! Tara lent us bandannas for the dust since the gringos were not prepared. ;)
Tara made all our dinner reservations and the places were amazing. We never went hungry or had a bad thing to say about any of the restaurants. Tara also arranged for one of the restaurants to prepare the tuna we had caught on our fishing trip!

I'm using the WooThemes "Diner" for a restaurant and they want to allow site visitors to place Carry Out orders. Since I don't believe that is possible with just the Diner Theme, I'm guessing I may be able to do something like this using WooCommerce.
Is it possible to configure a menu for carry out orders in WooCommerce and then just let the site visitor pay when they get to the restaurant?
Thanks for any insight or other suggestions you can offer!

I have some code in my ASP.NET app in C# that's in the
Global.asax.cs code file. In the
Session_Start and
Application_Begin Request I have set some breakpoints. However none of these are ever hit. I'm working on my local machine with VS8.
Here's what I've tried:
- Stopped the ASP Dev Server
- Deleted all ASP.NET Temporary files
- Created new
- Closing VS and opening back up
- Clean and Rebuild project
Upon trying my after these, the breakpoints will not hit.
Any ideas why this might be?

As is the custom in the final days of any year, media outlets are putting out a lot of year-in-review type features. I found ESPN Page 2's list of top quotes particularly enjoyable. Coming in at No. 16 was Sir Charles Barkley's objections to Brett Favre's sending of lewd photographs to a former female employee of the Jets.
I know what you're thinking: There's no religion angle to this story (aside, of course, from the shocking revelation that male athletes are not faithful to their wives). But there is. Look at what Barkley had to say:
"My biggest problem with the whole Brett Favre thing is, if you're going to send a woman a picture of your junk, it should be huge. You can't send small junk to a woman and expect anything. Seriously, you have to be like Ron Jeremy or some of those other porn stars. If you send a woman a picture of your junk, it should be humongous, it shouldn't be small. That's one of the Ten Commandments."
I've met Ron Jeremy and I think that nice Jewish boy would agree that while there are some Commandments that might surprise you, that is not in fact one of them. What is certainly true is that Brett Favre and so many other athletes would benefit from watching the above "PSA."

Seven years later, Louisiana state veterinarian Lorna Polk stumbles upon a fishing trawler shipwrecked on a barrier island. The crew is missing or dead, but the boat holds a frightening cargo: a caged group of exotic animals, clearly part of a black market smuggling ring.
Yet, something is wrong with these beasts, disturbing deformities that make no sense: a parrot with no feathers, a pair of Capuchin monkeys conjoined at the hip, a jaguar cub with the dentition of a saber-toothed tiger. They also all share one uncanny trait—a disturbingly heightened intelligence.
To uncover the truth about the origin of this strange cargo and the terrorist threat it poses, Lorna must team up with a man who shares a dark and bloody past with her and is now an agent with the U.S. Border Patrol, Jack Menard.
Together, the two must hunt for a beast that escaped the shipwreck while uncovering a mystery tied to fractal science and genetic engineering, all to expose a horrifying secret that traces back to humankind's earliest roots.
But can Lorna stop what is about to be born upon the altar of Eden before it threatens not only the world but also the very foundation of what it means to be human?
"Every James Rollins delivers mach-speed mayhem, throat-clutching suspense, high-style adventure, and a terrific story told terrifically."—Steve Berry, author of The Romanov Prophecy
The thriller king praised for his "edge-of-your-seat excitement" (San Francisco Chronicle), James Rollins storms the New York Times bestseller list with every novel he writes. With his latest breathtaking blockbuster, Altar of Eden, Rollins takes a breather from his Sigma Force adventures (Map of Bones, Black Order, The Judas Strain, et al) while delivering all the action, surprise, and intensity for which hes well known—and loved. Combining science, history, and breakneck suspense—and a secret tied to the Book of Genesis—Altar of Eden is sure to satisfy every James Rollins fan while winning over a slew of new converts.
Rebecca Cantrell's Hannah Vogel mystery novels have won the Bruce Alexander and Macavity awards and been nominated for the Barry and Romantic Times Reviewers Choice awards; her critically-acclaimed novel, iDrakula, was nominated for the APPY award and listed on Booklist's Top 10 Horror Fiction for Youth.

Norwich — State police have officially identified the man shot and killed Sunday by city police officers after they said he pointed a gun at them as 52-year-old Michael Dugas of 172 Laurel Hill Ave.
Norwich police said at 7:18 p.m. Sunday they received a report of a man with a gun in a neighborhood park lin the area of Laurel Hill Avenue and Center Street. The caller hung up when asked for more details.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man who told them that he had a gun. The man was despondent and refused to follow the officer's commands.
Police said they attempted to communicate with the man for a period of time, when he suddenly drew a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at them.
Several officers fired at the "gun-wielding" subject in self-defense, Norwich police said. The man was taken to the William W. Backus Hospital, where he later died.
Paul Johnson said he was taking out his garbage when another neighbor told him Dugas was in trouble by the park.
Johnson said he went down to the park and saw several police officers around Dugas, who was illuminated by a spotlight. He said that when Dugas made a "movement," he heard about 15 gunshots and saw Dugas fall to the ground.
Johnson stressed that Dugas was a "super-nice guy who wouldn't hurt anyone" but had struggled since his wife died.
As is routine in any officer-involved shooting, the state police and the New London State Attorney's Office have taken charge of the investigation.
State police Sgt. Donna Tadiello said state police are investigating how many officers were at the scene and who discharged their weapon. It is no certain how many officers will be placed on administrative duties as a result of the shooting.
Sunday's shooting is the fourth officer-involved shooting in the city in the last year. The most recent occurred on Jan. 7 when Officer Jonathan Ley was shot four times by Jason Razzino, 30, during a Cedar Street standoff. Razzino committed suicide after an hours-long standoff with police.

11 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
I have two of these fans and looking for the third. It really keeps a room confortable without blowing you away. It is quite enough for the bedroom. I love it, best fan I have ever owned.
This purchase was to replace the exact same fan that I had for 3 years. Other reviewers gave this fan a bad rating based on it dying out within a few months, but I have had this fan for 3 years now and it worked great until recently. It was used daily as a fan and also all night long for white noise and still held up. I have purchased more expensive tower fans that died after a few months, but this has held up. I purchased 2 additional ones for my new baby and toddler and it works great for white noise without being too loud. Only complaint is the fan I received was Gray, not White. I wanted White for the nursery, but exchanging would have been a pain.
I bought this fan as I had room of my apartment that was much warmer then the other rooms. It has a southern exposure and is in the sun's path all day long. The fan was fairly easy to put together, directions had a lot to be desired. It looks sleek, in fact people walked into the room and did not even notice it. I was not thrilled when the description said the fan was white, however when I got it home it is actually a greyish color. So if you truly want white, this is not the fan for you. It cools much better then a typical fan and I am pleased. For the cost of the product it is a good deal and I would purchase other one if need be.
I love the actual product although I was a bit intimidated that it did require some assembling. I also was displeased that it was not accompanied with batteries for the remote, but it defintely serves its purpose for cooling a room. I particularly love the time setting feature that allows you to have the fan run for so many hours and then automatically shut off. Great buy for the price.
The fan is not bad for its price. The remote is handy especially if you're lazy and don't want to get up. It works better in a smaller room versus the whole living room. You'll need two if u want it for the living room. The features are great especially the sleep timer. Overall, I like what I got and u will too.
This fan produces an amazing amount of fresh air, and was very surprising. I never thought a towe ran could cool down a room so much, great product.
I'm very pleased with the fan. It takes minimum space and delivers good air circulation. Great value for the price.
The aloha Fan is quiet and efficient. Cools our whole living area and easy to store in the winter.
Great value, this met my needs and it is used daily.
I love this fan.

Well, its kind of a moot point, but Richter should have had to resign about 5 years ago. Look at all of the stuff that went on when POCC was a shell company and he was managing it without any oversight and accounting staff.

Must read book: Getting Green Done
I am in the process of reading a terrific new book, by Auden Schendler, Sustainability Director for Aspen Skiing Company. But Andrew Jones beat me to the punch with his review. So am reprinting his post here. This allows me to kill two birds with one stone [Note to self: Need new, eco-friendly metaphor], since I also wanted to draw attention to Andrew's amazing work using climate simulations to educate policymakers on what it will take to preserve a livable climate. Auden is well known to CP readers as one of the hardest working people in the sustainability trenches (see Schendler I: Those quotes in Businessweek's "Little Green Lies") and a skeptic of rip-offsets (see "Schendler II: Good RECs vs. Bad RECs").]
Old friend and fellow Rocky Mountain Institute alumnus Auden Schendler this week has released a gem of a book: "Getting Green Done — Hard Truths from the Front Lines of the Sustainability Revolution."
I gobbled down over the past few days. The delightful experience of reading Auden's insights and real-world anecdotes about reducing the environmental impact of the Aspen Skiing Company reminded me of reading Paul Hawken's The Ecology of Commerce in 1993 or hearing Interface's Ray Anderson's classic keynotes soon after. Inspiring. Hopeful. Asking for the best from business and all of us.
And yet "Getting Green Done" is a book for a new decade and responds to the urgency of this year by taking an extra step: in his on-the-ground projects, Schendler has won, lost, lost again, and he reflects honestly about the journey. He breaks with the sustainability pack that spreads the half-truth that "Green is Easy" and prepares us for the important yet challenging work of remaking our economy to support the viability of life on Earth. And makes us laugh along the way.
Schendler writes:
We need to radically increase the ratio of grunts to visionaries, with fewer grand pronouncements made from podiums and more belly-crawling through the swamps.
And you can watch and hear Auden in a short video here.
Having just returned from making grand pronouncements from DC podiums, this book stung in the best way. It is time to roll up our sleeves, people!
— Andrew Jones
[JR: Auden has said he will give me a book excerpt to publish as soon as I figure out which one would be the best. But I don't recommend a lot of books and this one should be read by anyone who wants to understand the hard work of sustainability.]

"This allows me to kill two birds with one stone [Note to self: Need new, eco-friendly metaphor]."
The start of my environmental ethic was my mother saying, "That kills two stones with one bird – because we don't like killing birds".
How about, "Feed two birds out of one hand"?
Killing two birds with one stone: how about co-generation of heat and power from one plant?
How about "pop two bubbles with one crisis"? We're popping the economic and ecological bubbles at once, these days, right?
"Plant two Trees with one throw." (As in casting seeds)
Check out my blog, ROOT SAUCE. I deal with issues readers here should care about.
"Feed two birds with one scone."
While I agree that the ratio of pronouncements to belly-crawling needs to change, this shouldn't come from fewer pronouncements, but from more belly-crawling.
After all, if we're not able to inspire people to get down in the mud with us, what's the point? We need more doers, but not at the expense of those people who can help us see where the hell we're going.
Regarding your search for metaphors, consider:
People have a hard time getting their head around greenhouse gases. What are they, what do they look like, why are they dangerous, etc.
On the other hand, people generally understand today that cigarette smoke is bad stuff.
Smoking (cigarettes) is bad for you. Cigarette smoke contains carcinogens which can cause cancer which can kill you.
Combusting (fossil fuels) is bad for you. Fossil fuels emit greenhouse gases which warm the planet which can kill you.
Thus, if we could get people to look at the danger of greenhouse gases the same way they look at the danger of cigarette smoking, the perils of a warming planet might be more personalized.
This could lead to a whole new p.r. campaign: LET'S STOP COMBUSING!
I QUIT, HAVE YOU? etc. etc.
I know, this all sounds a little hokey, but we have to pull the stops out on this thing.
Green will not be easy, and it is not (as its critics sneer) just another fad of the lunatic left. The science is conclusive that something needs to be done, urgently, about CO2 emissions. The question is, how?
Conservation will help some, and so will biofuels, solar, and wind. But these are not sufficient, in the near term, to avoid the tipping point.
What is needed is post-combustion CO2 capture and treatment at existing pulverized coal power plants. That is where we in the US, and especially India and China, get most of our baseload power, which keeps the lights on. It is important that the Green Team gets realistic about that fact.
The manufacturing base in the US has been devastated by the short-sighted greed of Wall Street and its naked short-sellers. Starting new businesses in America is a minefield of huge costs and vague liabilities, and takes much more money that most people have access to. So the infrastructure to implement any solution lies in ruins in the Rust Belt. The so-called "free market" is only available to millionaires and giant companies like GM and GE, and they are scared to do anything now.
So although there are many people interested in getting something done, the free market we are counting on will not come through. Call it socialism if you want, Rush, but a massive government effort is our only hope.
My family went skiing on Sat. I tried in vein to find out information on the CO2 footprint of the sport (didnt think to ck Climateprogress:) This, I thought is a bit of a mystery…surly skiing and snow making has got to be one of the worst per capita activities for generating CO2. (A bit ironic isn't it).
Anyone know of online resource in this area?

ok ok wait. what about grunts and visionaries. handiwork desperately needed. dreamers, designers, engineers, from fantasy to functional in just one chain hard-working people. but we are leaving out the money, which is where the hand-waving comes in. a solid base of public spending driving down risks and costs and making a lot of it happen. that public commitment and the funding stream that follows is what's been missing most, in a finance world that counts lower frontside costs as the most-favored-benefit.

As many people age, cataracts, or clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye, are an increasingly common problem.
Symptoms of cataracts include:
Ohio Valley Eye Institute offers state-of-the-art premium cataract correction to help patients achieve freedom of clear vision.
Our Surgeons, led by Dr. David Malitz, use the latest technique in performing cataract surgery. Using only a topical anesthetic to numb the eye, the surgeon creates a small incision and uses high-energy sound waves to break the cataract into microscopic particles which are then removed from the eye. To compensate for the removal of the eye's natural lens, an intra-ocular lens (IOL) is implanted into the eye. After using this special small incision, the eye remains tightly sealed by the natural outward pressure within your eye and no stitches are usually required.
The cataract removal technique Ohio Valley Eye Institute uses is often preferred to traditional methods because patients are more comfortable during and after the procedure. Because this new technique uses eye drops to numb the eye, usually the need for an anesthetic shot, stitches, or a post-surgery patch is eliminated. Another advantage is that most patients notice a rapid visual improvement with this technique.
Whether it's LASIK, CK, PRK, Cataract Surgery or another state of the art eye care procedure, we'll find the best vision correction option for you. Ask about the Restor lens

According to Sport, Barcelona are considering offering €25m plus David Villa to bring Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney to the Camp Nou.
It is widely expected Villa will leave the Catalans this summer, with sources close to the Barca board having indicated that Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool have all asked about the player in recent weeks.
However, the €12m asking price appears to have put them off and La Blaugrana are believed to be weighing up whether to offer the 31-year-old plus cash to land Rooney from United.
Barca are waiting to hear the outcome of a meeting between United boss David Moyes and the former Everton man to determine his future before making any move, with the relationship between the pair understood to be strained after their time together at Goodison Park.
Rooney's €14m-a-year salary may prove a stumbling block despite the saving on Villa's wages, which next year are estimated to be around €10m.
Nonetheless, Barcelona President Sandro Rosell could be prepared to give the green light to the move as the England international has previously stated his admiration for Barcelona.
Xabi Alonso continues to neglect Real Madrid's offer of a new contract as his wish is to go on a free transfer next year.
According to El Economista, in recent weeks Los Blancos have again asked the Spanish international his future intentions and have been met with the same response of 'patience' from the player.
The same publication maintained at the beginning of this year that the 31-year-old had told the club he had no intention of extending his existing agreement, instead preferring to wait and see what his physical fitness was like at the start of 2014 when he could be persuaded to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu another season.
However, a recent groin operation that forced him to miss the Confederations Cup in Brazil is believed to have convinced him he is in the final stretch of his career, with Xabi himself dreaming of a return to England where he spent five successful years at Liverpool.
Although Los Blancos have always treated Xabi fairly, with his wages consistently having been increased by President Florentino Perez, it will still be a difficult issue to resolve if there is to be a happy ending for both parties.
Either way, the relationship between both club and player continues to remain excellent.
Premier League outfits West Ham United and Cardiff City are both in the hunt for striker Javier Saviola, reports Sport.
Saviola's contract with Malaga ended on June 30 and the Argentine international is now ready to listen to offers, which have not been long in coming.
Both the Hammers and the recently-promoted Welsh club are understood to be considering bids for the well-travelled player, who numbers River Plate, Barcelona, Monaco, Sevilla, Real Madrid and Benfica among his former clubs.
It is understood Saviola is open to the idea of trying his luck in England but there has also been talk of possible interest from Celta Vigo, Espanyol and former club River Plate.
Sao Paulo are understood to be willing to pay around €7m to take Valencia striker Jonas back to Brazil.
According to newspaper Lance the Brazilians have already met Jonas for talks in a bid to link him up with former Sevilla man Luis Fabiano at the Morumbi stadium, although the player is believed to be happy at Valencia.
However, with the 2014 World Cup in Brazil around the corner Jonas considers his chances of making Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad would be improved if he was plying his trade in his native country.
With a contract at Mestalla until June 2015, Jonas is considered one of the key men at Valencia, whom he joined from Gremio at the beginning of 2011, and the club would be reluctant to let him go.
Even so, Sao Paulo are aware Valencia have financial difficulties and failed to qualify for next season's Champions League, meaning they might be receptive to a decent offer for the 29-year-old.
Jonas is currently on holiday in Brazil awaiting the birth of his first child and has asked his club for a few extra days off so he can spend the maximum time possible with his new family.
Real Sociedad are eyeing Fiorentina striker Haris Seferovic, reports Marca.
The Swiss international, 21, is of Bosnian descent and has made just eight Serie A appearances for La Viola since signing from Grasshoppers in January 2010, being loaned out to Neuchatel Xamax, Lecce and Novara over the past two seasons.
Seferovic won the 2009 FIFA Under-17 World Cup with Switzerland in Nigeria and was leading goalscorer in the competition, with La Real boss Jagoba Arrasate hoping tie up a deal with the Italians this week.
Arrasate is seeking to strengthen his squad prior to the club's forthcoming Champions League campaign and defender Jose Angel is also on his list.
Left-back Angel spent last season on loan with the Basques from Roma but was granted few first team opportunities due to the form of Alberto de la Bella.
This term, however, he is likely to get more of a chance to stake a claim with the Txuri-urdin involved in three competitions, and Arrasate would like him to return to Anoeta.
Real Betis are reportedly a preferred option for Barcelona's Bojan Krkic this summer, ahead of a number of other clubs.
The 22-year-old striker is expected to be sent out on loan once more this transfer window, after two difficult years spent in Serie A.
Whilst a number of clubs with greater financial budgets are looking at the forward, Marca understand that Betis have an advantage.
Despite the likelihood that the Andalucians will struggle to cover his current €3m salary, it is reported that Bojan is open to the idea of moving down to Seville, over and above other options apparently on the table.
PSV, Ajax, Parma and Real Sociedad are all also listed as keeping tabs on the youngster this summer, whilst Atletico Madrid and Malaga have previously been linked too.
Bojan's father, Bojan Krkic Snr, is also a close friend of Betis sporting director Vlada Stosic.
Real Betis are showing interest in taking Getafe striker Miku to the Benito Villamarin, according to Marca.
The Venezuelan international spent last season on loan in Scotland with Glasgow Celtic after falling out with Getafe President Angel Torres.
However, he has now returned to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez after an unsuccessful stint at Parkhead, during which he made just 11 League appearances with two goals, and Betis boss Pepe Mel is weighing up a bid for the player.
It is believed El Geta are asking around €3m for the 27-year-old, who has scored 24 games in 87 La Liga games for the Madrid club, although it is doubtful whether any team would be prepared to pay that amount, including Betis.
Mel is understood to have asked about Miku's situation before the start of last season and is ready to make a fresh enquiry as he seeks to strengthen his strike force for his team's assault on the Europa League next term.
Real Madrid B team striker Jese's future at the club is in doubt after he revealed some uncertainty over his contract.
The youngster is hot property at the moment after starring for Spain in the recent Under-20 World Cup, and still has a year left on his existing agreement at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Nonetheless, he told Marca that the club has not been in contact with him over a new deal.
"I don't know what the club wants, whether they want me to renew, so I suppose I'm not clear what I am going to be doing," he admitted.
It is not the first time Jese, who surpassed Emilio Butragueno's record number of goals for the Madrid second-string last term, has harboured doubts about where his career is heading.
"I'm not clear what I'll do and I'm not going to lie about it," he was recently quoted as saying.
"I'm relaxed because I had a good season and a good Under-20 World Cup, and I insist I'm very, very relaxed."
The Las Palmas-born player is understood to have the support of President Florentino Perez but new boss Carlo Ancelotti remains the key to the 20-year-old's future.

I have gone thorough similar questions on stackoverflow but they dont cover the situation that I would like to ask here.
I have all my music files on my remote machine. I would like to sync them to my local devices. Lets say that I want to sync them over my two laptops. Initially both the laptops have none of the music files. I run a simple rsync on both of them and get all the music files.
Laptop 1 [a.mp3,b.wav,c.mp4] {-------\ \----| | Server [a.mp3,b.wav,c.mp4] /----| Laptop 2 [a.mp3,b.wav,c.mp4] {-------/
Now I would like to maintain following rules during syncing.
- If I delete a file on any of the laptops, the files should not get deleted on the server.
- If I delete a file on any of the laptops, it should not get added back just because its not deleted on server.
- If I delete a file on any of the laptops, the files should not get deleted on the other laptops. The deletion of a file is specific only to the laptop on which I deleted.
- If I add a new file on any of the laptops, Server should get the new file. And eventually every other laptop should get this new file.
- If I delete a file on server, it should get deleted on all the laptops.
How can I achieve the above rules with rsync? I am ready to execute more than one command on all the devices/laptops to have syncing following above rules.
Do let me know if I have not made any point clear. I will edit the question to make it more clear.

Manchester Police Investigating Gingrich Aide In Scuffle With Occupy Protester
A witness emerges. "He seemed enraged that she was there," Bowman says.
The Manchester Police Department is investigating an Occupy protester's complaint that she was roughed up by an aide to candidate Newt Gingrich yesterday, Lieutenant Maureen Tessier told BuzzFeed today.
The protester, Rebecca Burton of Manchester, Conn., told BuzzFeed that she was been standing inside the restaurant where Gingrich's Latino town hall was being held, Don Quijote.
A staffer — a middle-aged white man wearing an earpiece, who refused to talk to BuzzFeed — approached Burton, ripped her sign, grabbed her by the arm and shoved her, she alleges.
Quinn Bowman, a reporter from PBS NewsHour who saw the incident, backed Burton's version.
"He pushed and shoved her with considerable force, tried to take her sign and he seemed enraged that she was there," Bowman says.
Burton and the staffer spoke to police at length after the event.
"They brought him out and I said 'how could you do that to me?' And he just looked at me," Burton said.
Tessier told BuzzFeed that "depending on where the investigation goes, there could be charges brought at some point if the information leads us in that direction."

Sun Breaks Through Clouds, Acquires Q-Layer
Sun Microsystems has acquired Belgian company Q-Layer, which specializes in cloud computing.
At the heart of Q-Layer's product palette is the NephOS platform that provides an abstraction layer on top of existing hardware and virtualization solutions. It should enable data centers to transition to a cloud computing infrastructure with the corresponding service offerings, such as for storage, virtual servers and website hosting, with usage-based chargeback possibilities. Even intranets should benefit from the NephOS solution.
Beside resource planning, NephOS provides a data center abstraction layer and Qshell, a Python-based cross-platform scripting environment. The supported virtualization technologies include VMware, ESX, Xen, Sun XVM Virtualbox and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Sun is holding back on financial data related to the purchase of Q-Layer, founded in 2005, but refers to its Cloud Computing website for details.

I just had a couple of ?'s about slayer' auto installer.
Is it hard to install and what exactly does it install.
Also should I maybe not even bother if I already have Evox 1.8.3285

you shouldn't bother. Sounds like like you already have your modded xbox up and running. Just get the newest EvoX dashboard and X2 BIOS. And of course XBMP 2.4 if you don't have em already
Posted 08 June 2003 - 06:39 AM
Somebody does not like Slayer's, but I had my XBox and replacement hard disk working in seconds thanks to it. Use the 2.1 one, and you will only have to upgrade to XBMP 2.4 by yourself.
Posted 08 June 2003 - 07:58 AM
I don't have my xbox up and running yet, I am waiting for the mod to arrive. I was just wondering if the slayer's installer had things in it like xbox media player or yamp. I just don't know what the installer has in it. Could someone maybe point me to a place about the installer.
I was just going to put evox 1.8.3285 on my xbox because I heard that the newest version was buggy. Is that true.

|Also should I maybe not even bother if I already have Evox 1.8.3285
I thought you were saying you had it on your Xbox already. If not then by all means get the Slayer installer.
Posted 09 June 2003 - 04:47 AM
Slayer 2.1 is the easiest way to install Evox and other useful applications at one shot. Preferrably for newbies who had problem loading evox alone. But slayer 2.1 will help you alot if you are replacing a new HDD on your modded system. For that one reason and restoring original HDD at ease I like slayer. As long as you ahve evox on the system you can add and remove other xbox utilities and applications. It your own choice. But easy for newbies.

"The magical subterranean world of Postojna" Top 5 Page for this destination Postojna by CatherineReichardt
Postojna Travel Guide: 161 reviews and 539 photos
Of all the places that I visited in my first trip to Slovenia, the one I recall being most impressed by was the Postojna Caves. So, unsurprisingly it was a non-negotiable 'must see' when I returned 25 years later with my family.
I started my career as a geologist, "sometime after the end of the Cretaceous", as I used to tell my students during my stint as a university lecturer (which I undertook as a 'career break' from the Big Bad World of mining when my kids were young). However, I didn't realise until I first visited Slovenia as my 'reward' for finishing my degree that the Postojna region is the type location for karst. In layman's terms, it means that the area is internationally recognised as the typical example of a limestone landscape that has been shaped by the dissolving influence of water. In this case, water has slowly dissolved the limestone to create extensive underground cavern systems.
The sheer scale of the underground caverns at Postojna is staggering - 21km of linked cave system has been identified to date and more extensions to the system are continually being discovered. Like most caves that are open to the public, you only get to experience a tiny fraction of what has been identified, but even that is overwhelming. Despite feeling devoid of life, more than 80 species of animal live in the cave system. The largest and most famous cave animal found at Postojna is Proteus anguinus - known to its friends as the olm. This is a translucent salamander which is often referred to as the "human fish" for reasons that I can't really fathom, since it bears no resemblance to a person.
Postojna had changed a lot since my last visit - and, in virtually all aspects, for the better. The tourist infrastructure is more extensive and better thought out, although I was pleased that the somewhat rickety train that transports tourists underground to the point where the tour starts was still as I remembered it.
It would be easy to think that Postojna is all about caves. But the happy truth of the matter is that the caves are only one aspect of a gorgeous area that offers something for just about everyone. Slovenia - like New Zealand - is one of those fortunate countries that seems to be blessed with more than its fair share of stunning landscapes, and the principal risk of visiting is that you get blase about the constant procession of beautiful views!
The rolling landscape around Postojna is gorgeous - we visited in summer when it was lush and verdant, but it was also exquisite when I first visited in autumn, and I suspect that winter and spring also offer their own distinctive charms. It is a lovely part of the world to explore either by car, or - even better if you have the time - by bike or on foot, and the farmstay options in the area are a lovely alternative to hotels.
There are lots of other things for tourists to do in the area, including the Lippizzaner breeding stud at Lipica, which is only a few kilometres out of Postojna. Enchanting Ljubljana is only an hour or so's drive away, and it is also possible to drive to the coast as a day trip. I can't say that I am wildly enthusiastic about the Slovenian coast (although towns like Piran are nice), but it's a pleasant thing to do on a hot day. It also offers you the chance to stop off en route to visit the gobsmackingly gorgeous church at Hrastovlje, with its exquisite frescoes, including the fable Danse Macabre ('Dance of Death'), which is almost worth visiting Slovenia for all by itself! The imposing Soca Valley is also accessible as a day trip, but it's a long - albeit scenic - drive, and given the choice, I would rather recommend approaching it from its northern end via the Vrsic pass just outside Kransjka Gora.
- Pros:Quite wonderful in every aspect!
- Cons:Miniscule bath towels are apparently the norm in Slovenian accommodation!
- In a nutshell:Much more than just caves - but it has to be said that the caves are stupendous!

I enjoyed reading the geologist explanations, you put it really well and made it easy to understand.
this looks like an amazing place. You did touch on it, but are there really opportunities to go off and explore while you are in the caves or are you under the watchful eye the whole time?
A great page on a fascinating location!
I really enjoyed Ljubljana (the only place in Slovenia I have really seen) and found it to be a beautiful city with nice people.
I agree: Ljubljana is one of the very few cities that I could imagine living. Knowing a little about your interests, I would think that you'd find the Soca valley along the western border of the country fascinating for its stunning scenery and tragic WWI history. It was the setting for the Isonzo Front, and Kobarid (which has a brilliant history devoted to this particularly futile squandering of human life) was one of the locations for 'A Farewell to Arms' (Hemingway served here as a stretcher bearer).
I enyod reading this page of yours. Very well done. Greetings from Ljubljana.
some years back my little bro did a school project on the olm. of all animals in the world, he chose the olm. it was very hard findin info and fotos about the olm back in those days. mom made him give up, and do the tiger instead. ha! nice postojna page!
Hi Cathy, Interesting town you found with the caves. I am just starting to push towards some of the old eastern bloc countries. Thanks for visiting. Nice work so far on VT. Karl

I has them. At least I thought I did until I saw this forum thread. I'm way behind compared to some of these people. Maybe if I added in all my Shonen Jump and Shojo Beats… Anyway, that's not to say my manga collection isn't still growing. This month is going to be another tough Previews order. There are a lot of not just manga but comic books that are coming out that look good. A new Doctor Who (10th Doctor), a new Fathom series, and I new Voltron in addition to the titles I've already added over the last few months: Madame Xanadu, Indiana Jones, and Chuck.

I have two titles to spotlight this week.
CMX – Palette of 12 Secret Colors Vol 2. It is rated for Everyone, and is about a girl named Cello. She wants to be a Palette, and magic user that can take color from something (usually a partner bird they received) and apply it to other things. Cello, unfortunately, isn't very good at it. The series follows Cello as she tries to get through school with her friend, and the school's doctor, who is always having to clean up after Cello's mistakes. It's a nice series for younger children. There's some excitement and adventure, but no fighting or battles. The art compliments the stories by being simple but entertaining.
Image – Lions, Tigers & Bears TP Vol 2. This is a collection of the 4 issue comic series from Image. It's about a boy who was given a set of stuffed animals called the Night Pride; a tiger, black panther, white tiger and lion. These stuffed animals have a secret; they can come to life at night. They protect children from the Beasties, creatures the come out of closets and under beds to eat children. This second volume picks where the first left off. The future of the Stuffed Animal kingdom has been saved, but a new danger threatens Joey, Courtney, and the very existance of the Stuffed Animal Kingdom! I really enjoyed both volumes of this series. The art looks like animation cells and it just fantastic. It was that and the big cats that drew me to the series. Young reader will enjoy it too I think, with leads 8-9 years old, fighting against the age old fear of the "monster in the closet".
Keeping the Stars Blazing
The current issue of Otaku USA, as well as featuring stories about the anime Space Battleship Yamato and Star Blazers, also had an insert on the Star Blazers webcomic, Star Blazers: Rebirth. This is a web comic written by THE authority on Star Blazers, Tim Eldred. It is a continuation of the Star Blazers saga, taking place after the Final Yamato movie, and features a new generation of characters. But, did you know there were other comics based on the Star Blazers series?
StarBlazers.com, the place for all things Star Blazers, has a section on the history of Space Battleship Yamato and Star Blazers in comics. Being a Leiji Matsumoto fan, I found the entries on the manga version of Yamato very interesting, since all that I've ever seen of them are the covers. (I had a chance waaaayyyyyy back in the eighties to buy them from the LA store Books Nippon. I really wish I had…) The article goes into some detail about the history of the comic, even showing covers of the magazines they were serialized in. It also includes a really cool bonus: a translation of a rarely seen side story, Eternal Story of Jura. Yamato/Star Blazers fans should really check it out.
Also check out Tim Eldred's chronology of Star Blazer's comics in the US. It's history is just as interesting as the manga's. I still have my copies of the first two mini-series' from Comico comics, and remember then fondly. Since we never got the Bolar Wars in the LA area, the comics became the third season for me. It was really good for continuation of the series, as it was written and drawn. If you're a fan and can find them, definitely check them out. It's probably also what kept me on my road for collecting comics based on TV/Movie properties (not retelling of the properties, new stories).
No Respect
Why do I read so much manga instead of American comics? Let's take Marvel's latest story line in Amazing Spiderman as a good example. It's riled up a lot of comic fans, and been kind of hard to avoid if you follow the forum boards at all. Basically, in the story line called "One More Day", Aunt May is dying. She's old, it was bound to happen. Peter, who's been married to Mary Jane for the last 10 years, just can't seem to accept that. Peter "with great power comes great responsibility" Parker decides he can't live without Aunt May, and goes to the Marvel Universe's version of Satan to make a deal (like those always turn out soooo well). He gives up the last 10 years of his life, and his wife, so Aunt May can live. He's doing this over Aunt May's protests, by the way. Mr. Responsibility turns into a selfish 2 year old.
So what's Marvel done here? In technical terms, it's called the "Big, Red Reset Button". They are wiping out 10 years of continuity to turn Peter Parker back into a young bachelor, unencumbered by the hassles of a wife, to be a carefree swinger again. Why? To appeal to a younger audience, they claim, since they wouldn't be able to relate to an older Peter. Screw the older readers that had stayed with the book for the last 25+ years and supported Marvel even through it's hard years. They don't matter. Just the young kids that are looking for the Spiderman they saw on the movie screens. So, all those Spiderman compilations you see on the shelves at Barnes & Noble and Borders, they have just become meaningless thanks to Joe Quesada.
This "retconn"ing as it's called is a big reason I stopped reading a lot of comics, Marvel and DC in particular. There is no point in reading and becoming attached to characters, since in a few issues it can be wiped away by a new writer with new ideas. Continuity has become a meaningless word and readers are coveted only for their money.
There is no retconning in manga. It's one writer creating one story. A story that has a beginning, middle and end. Even manga that has been going on for years (Detective Conan) has an end. There are no musical writers, and no "take backs" on story. If a title is popular, then sequels or prequels can be written to continue the story. So the investment I make into the characters and story will pay off, instead of the cheap thrill Marvel wants to offer.
This is just lazy writing and bad editorial decisions. And the worst of this is that, readers will take this slap in the face and keep buying and reading not only Amazing Spiderman, but all of Marvel's titles. They will whine, bitch and moan, but they won't do anything about it. So Marvel knows they can do it again without reprisal. And will.
Even though I do continue to read some comics, none of them are from the Marvel Universe, and probably never will. I'm not going to waste my time and money on something that's going to be trashed anyway. I'd rather waste my time and money on something that at the end of the day will be something I'll want to read again.

AV Node Ablation
How the heart's electrical system works
In a normal heart, electrical impulses pace the rhythm at which the heart contracts and relaxes. The sinoatrial (SA) node triggers the electrical impulse, causing the upper chambers (atria) to contract. The signal travels through the atrioventricular (AV) node to the atrioventricular bundle, which divides into the Purkinje fibers that carry the signal and cause the lower chambers (ventricles) to contract. The electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) shows this normal electrical activity.

SI.com reports RSL's Jason Kreis offered coaching position with New York City FC
Could Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis be headed to an expansion team?
SI.com reported Thursday afternoon that New York City FC has extended an offer to Kreis to coach the team, according to a source. A second source could not confirm the news of an offer, SI.com reported.
New York City FC, a joint venture between Manchester City and the New York Yankees, is still 18 months away from playing its first game. Kreis is in the final year of his contract with RSL.
"We are aware of inquiries made as to the future availability of head coach Jason Kreis," RSL vice president of media and communications Trey Fitz-Gerald told SI.com. "He is obviously an attractive candidate. Our ongoing conversations with him regarding his long-term future continue to be positive and productive."
According to the SI.com report, Real Salt Lake allowed Kreis to talk to NYC FC in part because the Utah team believes it can re-sign its coach who has been at the RSL helm since 2007. Kreis traveled to the U.K. this month to meet with personnel from Manchester City and NYC FC, the report said.
"No decision has been made about the head coach position," a New York City FC spokesman told SI.com.
This is not the only off-the-field news surrounding Real Salt Lake. According to NBC Sports' Pro Soccer Talk, RSL general manager Garth Lagerway has been linked to an open general manager position with Toronto FC.

I have to call Bullshit on ANYONE claiming to have experience to be President. The only people alive who have that experience are.... ((drum roll)) FORMER FUCKING PRESIDENTS!! Not even a former VP has that sort of experience as they are not fully privy to the information that the person sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office has. And despite what Hillary is letting us believe there are things Bill will and can not tell her or anyone else because they are state secrets.
So if being the official hostess of the United States is experience (which is what being First Lady amounts to) then being a failed oil man from Texas must equate to being over qualified.
I'm surprised the headline wasn't "Billary Pillory."
Just Me's comments make a lot of good sense. But Annie, I am so confused as to who you think is so super qualified to be president? Because to my knowledge, all three front runners have fairly limited experience, and of the three, Senator Clinton at six years in the Senate probably DOES have the most.
it's awfully convenient experience for a candidate to have, that's for sure. she can make vague generalizations about it, claim it as 8 years under her belt, and then when asked about specifics either take credit or declare herself a "sounding board," whichever suits the occasion.
@3: I'd agree, Hillary has the most experience of the top three D presidential contenders. Biden trounces all of those, along with McCain for the Rs. But honestly? I'm not that worried about quantity of experience: I'm more interested in the quality of the judgment and reasoning displayed by the various candidates, in whatever capacity.
My annoyance with Hillary's "experience" campaign line stems from the fact that I'd rather not see the first woman president be a former first lady. The fact that she's running on her husband's record makes that prospect even less palatable.
of course, all her experience still didn't prevent her from voting for the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of the US.
Here's an educational op ed:
The presidency no experience needed?
"He was 10 years a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 10 years a United States senator, twice named ambassador to U.S. embassies in two of the most important European capitals: London and Moscow and for four years served as secretary of State. His name was James Buchanan. He was elected president of the United States in 1856 and, in the eyes of historians, was one of the nation's worst presidents. He dithered as a nation staggered toward civil war; many thought him little better than a traitor because of his passivity in the face of national disintegration. So much for a fat résumé as a qualification for the White House.
Those who chide Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for the slenderness of his curriculum vitae should heed the historical record, which shows that vast prior experience is no guarantee of a successful presidency and limited previous experience does not portend failure. The record also suggests that there is no particular connection between prior experience and performance in the White House."
But our universal experience -- in politics, parenthood, jobs and careers -- is that experience matters. Lots.
The best President, FDR, had tons of experience, including serving as President three prior times. Governor before that. Navy Sec. or soemthing before that.
Another great Pres. George Washington had previously (a) chaired the fucking constitutional convention, and (b) won the war of independence.
Jefferson and T.R., tons of prior experience. Lincoln, okay, you got me there, not much prior experience.
Obama fans can fairly say judgment/change counts too, or Hillary's record is bad, not good, but trying to say experience just does not count (to avoid that nasty negatitve and unassailable fact that Obama has little experience) is a stretch.
It's also totally unsupported by history when most of the best Presidents had lots of good experience.
No, no, no...she talks about her experience. Her 35 years of experience, of which, yes, I believe she's referring to the eight years during which she lived in the White House with an actual sitting President. The rest of the experience to which she refers includes her time in the senate, as well as her time working for children and families and all that.
The thing about Hillary's experience is this: nobody running for president in the history of this country has had quite the type of experience that she has. She has, indeed, seen the presidency in a way that no other candidate has. Of course she didn't have access to the same info that only a president would be able to access, and of course she didn't do whatever she could to usurp the power of the presidency. But it's realistic to think that she had an eye into how presidential decisions were made. Because husbands vent to their wives about work.
She has gotten a lot of shit done in the last few decades. She's also seen a whole lot of shit go down, and has come out of it smarter and more savvy. I think that's what she's talking about. And I think the media is in a peculiar place with her because her candidacy is so new in a lot of ways.
I still haven't decided if it's even an important question to me: does being married to Bill Clinton, one of the most respected and disrespected politicians of recent history, have anything to do with anything in this campaign? I mean, honestly, if Hillary Clinton were not married to Bill Clinton, would she still be running for president? I think she probably would've gotten to this point with or without him.
She can't really do like Gore and shove her husband to the sidelines. Nobody's going to forget anytime soon that she's Bill's wife. I don't think that's what she's running on, I just think she's calling it what it is. Plenty of times in the debates, she's said something to the effect of, this isn't a Bill Clinton candidacy, it's a Hillary Clinton one.
Any blog post that quotes shrill harpy Maureen Dowd to make a point is by definition deeply flawed.
@9: You have not been paying attention to her recent campaign appearances. I assure you, she is running on her husband's record. See this, for example. Or just do a Google search.
@10: Touché. But ad hominem, and believe it or not, Dowd is much calmer when discussing the current crop of presidential candidates than she's been in YEARS.
Useful analysis of Dowd's "calmness" during the current election cycle to be found here:
I think most Americans can decipher Hillary's 'first lady' experience for what it was. We know that she was involved at a higher level than some spouses as a 'sounding board' and we know that the first lady has an important role in the world diplomacy forum.
I can look at that and know it is indeed valuable experience in its own right without trying to make it more than it is.
