I had a perfectly wonderful Labor Day. In fact, I told my husband's brother and his son as they were leaving that I believed Labor Day might be my favorite holiday.
We went to what I call my husband's cabin. It is a small place off the beaten path and on a pond. My husband loves it there. It's peaceful and quiet. All my children and grandchildren were there, and I got to enjoy being with just my family without the other distractions that often go with other holidays.
Hey, kids! Last week I wrote about the art of arguing, but I used some Latin terms and talked about the decline of society, so you probably assumed it was "old people advice." Well, it was. How about if I use this column just for you? How would you like a few tricks to use when arguing with adults?
Has there ever been a more dishonest presidential campaign than the one Republicans are waging right now?
Political junkies get excited about the Republican and Democratic national conventions, but for many Americans, they provide a stark reminder of how out of touch our political system has become.
One of my mother's favorite sayings is to do the best you can with what you have at the time. She should know.
Once again I find myself faced with a Column written by Mr. Carter in the Sunday, Aug. 26, edition that simply cries out for a logical response.
"American Exceptionalism" is a central theme for Mitt Romney and those who gathered this week at the Republican National Convention. For many conservatives, unwavering belief in the inherent goodness, unique character, and global superiority of the U.S. is a minimum requirement for admission to the circle of "real Americans." In their eyes, President Obama's willingness to apologize to other nations and peoples - more so than questions about his birthplace - makes him unworthy of citizenship in "Real America."

You will be interested to know The American Goat Association, located in Pipe Creek, Texas, did not contribute to Mr. Ralston.

In politics, where there are more men than women in elected positions, it's easy to get the impression that men matter most. You see them on TV, see their pictures in the paper, hear them pontificating on the issues on TV and radio.
So it may surprise you to learn that women matter more than might be evident. Why? They outvote men.
When Republicans formally nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan next week, the race against President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be officially underway.
Yet, while the two teams represent different ideological views, different upbringings, different faith backgrounds and different experiences, neither of them has yet inspired any confidence among voters. Just 32 percent believe the economy will be stronger in a year if Obama is re-elected. Only 36 percent think it will be stronger if Romney wins.
Is it me, or has the 2012 Presidential campaign been going since 1912? No doubt, Republicans began plotting to unseat Barack Obama on the morning of November 5, 2008.
That's politics. But, it's 71 long days yet to next national referendum on leadership, and we're just now reaching the nominating conventions. As if the rhetoric wasn't heated enough already.

Fractal Design Define Nano S review: shrunk in the wash
Review - yesterday at 11:59 PM
Large Mini-ITX cases: it sounds like a contradictory concept, but see more and more examples of this type of case being brought to market. In light of the aged Bitfenix Prodigy and the more recently discussed NZXT Manta, we will take a closer look at the Fractal Design Define Nano S. That is quite a mouthful of a name, but this is a product with a solid family history. Will the smallest in this family honour its predecessors?Read more

56 power supplies of 350-550 watt review
Review - Tuesday 07/19/2016 - 11:59 PM
Because graphics cards and processor manufacturers have an increasing emphasis on keeping the power usage as low as possible, you do not need a lot more than 450 watt for your high-end system. Therefore we take a look at 56 power supplies in this test; all of them are between 350 and 550 watt.Read more

4K Gaming PC - July 2016
PC Buyer's Guide - Sunday 07/17/2016 - 11:59 PMAfter a few years in which little happened in the area of PC displays, the 4K revolution is finally taking place. Graphics cards have to render four times as many pixels to drive a 4K display, while the game textures are only getting more detailed. In short: you need real horse power to game in 4K. A fast processor and especially a graphics card is a must. However, the rest of the configuration needs to be balanced as well. Since many gamers prefer to overclock their PC to improve performance... Read more
Shuttle SZ170R8 review: Mini-ITX alternative
Review - Friday 07/15/2016 - 11:59 PM
The fact that you do not need a big system in order to get a powerful computer should not come as a surprise nowadays. There are a lot of Mini-ITX motherboard and Mini-ITX case manufacturers, with room for a large and therefore fast graphics card. One manufacturer boldly keeps offering an alternative in the form of compact barebones. The SZ170R8 is Shuttle's latest model, a barebone for a high-end Skylake system. We put it to the test.Read more
4K Video Editing PC - July 2016

By now every average PC is able to process Standard Definition (PAL 720x576) as well as HD Ready, but technology doesn't stand still. By now just about every smartphone can record in HD or Full HD and the new frontier is Ultra HD, also known as 4K.

GeForce GTX 980 Ti round-up: 12 graphics cards review

Iiyama ProLite XUB3490WQSU review: premium for a dime
Review - Friday 06/17/2016 - 11:59 PM
Ultra wide quad hd monitors remain attractive, even though ultra hd models have become less expensive. They do have a downside: they are relatively pricy; both when looking at the amount of pixels you get for your money as well as in absolute numbers. Iiyama offers the ProLite XUB3490WQSU-B1 for 688 dollars at the time of writing. More than enough reason to take a closer look.Read more

Wow. I can't believe he failed to rig it.
Hopefully we can also manage an irrefutable margin in November.
Who wants to bet he stays even though he clearly lost
Go, Mugabe. Just go. Die in exile in Venezuela or someplace.
If Mugabe leaves by his own will, it will be for greener pastures. He's a dictator, they only let go if someone ousts them by force or greed lures them to another place with more sheep to sheer.
From the bread basket of Africa under white rule to the depths of horror and dictatorship under Black rule, one must stop and ponder what went wrong. Why was it that they could feed themselves, their workers, the nation and half the continent under one system and under the other they have 100,000% inflation.
@7 what? are you an apologist for Ian Smith now?
OK, anybody with the 'Mudede' name is now permanently on the no-fly list. Pulling dirty tricks to keep Mugabe in power? Ugh.
How you can mess up a beautiful, productive country and turn it into a wasteland, I don't know. But Mugabe sure does. He gives colonialism a good name. Best wishes to the successor, he has an impossible task in front of him, cleaning up that disaster.
Please, please let this be the end of this Hitler/Stalin wannabe, Mugabe. What a piece of shit that asshole is.
Your white/black manicheaism is ignorant, Sargon. For starters, Zimbabwe was still Africa's breadbasket, and the continent's fastest-growing economy as recently as a decade ago. The country didn't start to collapse until the aggressive program of land redistribution began, whereby all of the people who knew how to farm were killed or driven out of the country, and their farms given to Mugabe's relations, none of whom knew how to farm. Not a black/white thing, but a competent/incompetent thing.
What are you -- word policemen?
"Manichean" use of "black" and "white" -- oh my god @7 is threatening the world with that the scourge of incorrect dulaistic thinking once again!! Quick, hide the kiddies and food stocks!!
You sound like the real problem here is @7 -- not Mr. Mugabe.
The real problem is Mugabe (dictatorship, abuse of power, starvation and corruption).
Whether someone uses the words "black" and "white" in a PC or a non PC manner in talking about him -- is just not a problem.
And in fact it's that kind of thinking ("at least he's not Ian Smith" "we must always keep in mind, this thug followed Ian SMith and white rule, so we have to excuse it a bit") that has been used to keep a thug like Mugabe in power for so long.
I'm surprised to see, unPC, that you're a total fucking moron on more subjects besides just Hillary Clinton.
I think this is the first time during my life that a dictator like Mugabe has actually been VOTED out.
Best news I've heard for a while.
Validate your sources, please.
The Onion?
The Starr?
National Review?
CopyPaste is amusing, but if you can't (or won't) provide the actual sources, then you are diminished as a "journalist" (you're a columnist, at best...).
Mugabe's giveaways are reminiscent of Castro's refrigerators, Elvis' cars and Oprah's everything! Except they probably don't/didn't look as swell in leopard skin pillbox hats.
Giveaways are constant, like light -- it's the context that changes. Capitalism, culture and corruption make giveaways possible -- the age of (t)reason opiate of the people!
Dude makes good wine, though.
"I think this is the first time during my life that a dictator like Mugabe has actually been VOTED out."
Pinochet? One can only hope a transition for Zimbabwe will go as, erh, semi-smoothly as Chile's.
I was kind of wondering why there was no mention of this in this week's issue.

The location is about 1/5th the size of a Walmart Supercenter.
Store leaders say what the store lacks in size, it makes up for in convenience.
The store opens at 7:30 a.m.

Obviously Joey Crawford did not know who 'Roger Dorn' Lamb is. Otherwise he wouldn't have called all those fouls on him.
I like some of the young Bucks....Lamb is a good kid. I like his game. Very solid with a good feel to it. Wish we had both him and Meeks...but oh well.
Kentucky turns out some good ballers. With Harris and Lamb and Sanders and J. Henson I might have to start cutting the Bucks some slack here.
But, this was Bobcats and it was exhibition but a win is win no matter who it is and when you get it. Especially due to the fact DLamb has been out for awhile and the Bucks were down by 20pts.
Good work...
Maybe our starting guards could learn a concept called "shooting percentage" from their backups.
Lamb was terrific, and it's great to hear he wants to dive right in and start working on his 3's. It's too early to tell, but I think he'll be quite a 2nd round steal. Kid has touch.
I also agree with No1--it'd be nice to have Meeks too. But I'm happy with what we've got.Hide replies
The efficiency is particularly nice. Lamb was always referred to as a natural player.
6/11 while missing his 3 threes. At least he knew to go to a different tactic instead of sticking with his 3 point pedigree.
So far so good.
The Bucks need to get lucky with a guy like Lamb turning into the next Micheal Redd 2nd round find. What a boost that would be. I like that we picked a guy that can shoot! That's a great starting point....I still don't get all this love for Jodie Meeks? I sure don't see what y'all are still seeing. He is an below average player at best. We should have taken Marcus Thorton instead (taken two picks later). He turned into the real 2nd round gem in that draft.Hide replies
gotta agree with Rindy.........Jodie Meeks ='s 'one trick pony' where did he end up? Lake Show??
Roger Dorn 'Lamb', now that he's given up mishandling grounders @ THIRD will prove to be a keeper.

I desire to present, somewhat briefly, the history of a case of absorbing interest, which is at present under my professional care, and which by reason of its serious character and great rarity, will form a proper subject for the consideration of the Section.
On Feb. 13, 1897, through the courtesy of my friend, Dr. J. Cardeen Cooper, a female, M. M., aged 18 months, was referred to me for treatment of a nævus of the right upper eyelid. Dr. Cooper has very kindly furnished me with a history of the case, previous to the date of my examination, the child having first come under his observation in June, 1896, five months after birth. At that time there existed on the right upper lid a nævus of the size of a small shin bark, which the mother stated had grown in about two months, as at birth there had existed

Got 5 minutes? We've got your recipes for healthy party food
It's that time of year when even non-football enthusiasts gather around the television for a few hours to watch a predictably spectacular football game (and half-time show) satisfaction guaranteed.

But this year you can have your Super Bowl appetizers and eat lighter, too. Check out our four appetizer recipes, each of which you can whip up in five minutes or less. You'll be in and out of the kitchen in a flash, with nary a touchdown or pass completion missed.
Super Bowl Ranch Dip and Veggies
You can add food coloring to this dip to show which team you are rooting for!
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch Dip (1 ounce)
16-ounce container fat free (or light) sour cream (my favorite is Naturally Yours Fat Free)
Assorted raw veggies: Try baby carrots, celery sticks, zucchini coins, jicama sticks, cherry tomatoes
- Mix the ranch packet with 16 ounces of sour cream. If you have time, refrigerate dip for one hour before serving, to thicken and blend flavors.
- Serve with assorted raw veggies.
Makes 8 servings of dip.
Per 1/2 cup of ranch dip served with fresh veggies (1/2 cup carrot sticks, 1/2 cup celery sticks and 4 cherry tomatoes): 180 calories, 9 g protein, 34 g carbs, 0.4 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 4 g fiber, 900 mg sodium (because of the ranch powder). Calories from fat 2 percent.
Football in a Blanket Bites
Serve these with ketchup, mustard, or even BBQ sauce!
1 can refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls
About five lower-fat turkey franks (such as bun-length Louis Rich)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll roll dough; separate into eight triangles. Cut each triangle in half to make two triangles.
- Cut each hot dog into three pieces, about 2 inches each (depending on the length of the hot dog)
- Place each hot dog piece in the center of one of the small triangles of dough and wrap the dough around the hot dog. Place on nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with remaining crescent dough and turkey franks.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until dough is golden brown.
Makes 16 Bites (8 servings).

Definición de navvy en inglés:
sustantivo (plural navvies)British dated
- Over the decade which followed, it spread to every section of the working class-miners, iron workers, canal navvies, wool and cotton operatives, builders, seamen, land workers.
- The British inland waterway system, flourishing in the early nineteenth century, was staffed by a large body of bargees who, like the railway navvies, earned an unenviable reputation for roughness.
- He was a navvy and had been employed at the new railway which was in the course of construction between Sheffield and Rotherham.
Early 19th century: abbreviation of navigator (which was formerly also used in this sense).
A navvy is a labourer employed in building a road or railway. The word is a 19th-century shortening of navigator (late 16th century), which in the 18th century was a labourer employed in the rapidly expanding enterprise of canal construction (in parts of England a canal is known as a navigation). Navigate comes from the Latin word for ship, navis, which gave rise to navy (Late Middle English), and also, because of its shape, to the nave (late 17th century) or long central part of a church. The ultimate root of navis is the Greek word for ship, naus ( see nausea).

I first heard about Jason Reitman's quirkily bighearted film Juno from an unlikely source: Rush Limbaugh. The maven of right-wing talk radio had seen an advance screening, and he gushed about the movie's prolife message. Rush's recommendation was almost enough to scare me off, but I went anyway—and I'm glad I did. Reitman's movie is the most charming surprise of the past year in cinema.
Juno opens with a comic-book animation sequence that morphs into real life, as Kimya Dawson's folk-pop melodies strum both plangent and sweet, and a brash girl protagonist fires off edgy one-liners calculated to show the world she's tough. And Juno MacGuff will need to be, because at sixteen—and such a little waif of a thing!—she finds herself pregnant, the result of an afternoon seduction of her friend Paulie Bleeker, a guitar-playing classmate who radiates shy kindness.
Confessing her mistake to her father and stepmother, Juno assures them she has things under control. She calls an abortion clinic and announces herself with another cynical-sounding wisecrack ("Hello, I'd like to procure a hasty abortion!"). But she can't go through with it. In the clinic's parking lot, a lone prolife protester informs her that the fetus she's carrying already has fingernails. The image sticks; and impulsively, but with apparent deep certainty, Juno decides to have the baby and give it up for adoption. The...

Power Improvement in Crosstalk Cancellation Using Psychoacoustic Frequency Masking
The intention of crosstalk cancellation is to invert the transmission path of the system. Based on psychoacoustic masking in the frequency domain, the inversion problem is relaxed when many perceptual equivalent outputs exist. This paper presents a scheme that is capable of reducing the power consumption by employing frequency masking and frequency-dependent regularization. Subjective testing was also conducted to verify the perceptual quality.:

You would think, given the massive dissatisfaction with an economy that guarantees mega-bonuses for the rich and continued high unemployment, that the GOP would smell an opportunity.

GOP Needs Economic Populism
Yes, Manufacturing Matters
Manufacturing employment has fallen below 12 million jobs for the first time since 1941, and manufacturing jobs as a percentage of total employment has fallen below 9%, the lowest level since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started collecting data in 1939. But annual manufacturing output per worker is also at a record high: $223,915 (in constant 2000 dollars). That's almost 3 times as much output per worker as in the early 1970s, and twice as much output per worker compared to the mid-1980s.
That has been the trend over the last 40 years: more output with fewer workers. That's a good thing, or inevitable, or both – isn't it? I used to think so; now I'm not so sure. read more »
Report from Orlando: The Spirit Rocks On
By Richard Reep
"In hard times, people turn to God or alcohol" jokes Bud Johnson of Constructwire, a database that tracks planning and construction projects nationwide. Johnson, 50, is an industry veteran and has never seen a recession like this in his career. "This is an exceptionally broad-based downturn," he says, "and Orlando has been hit harder than most in the South, what with your only real industries being housing and tourism." Both industries have been trapped like mammoths in a glacier as the credit market stays stubbornly frozen in a modern banking Ice Age. read more »
Let Freedom Ring: Democracy and Prosperity are Inextricably Linked

Executive Bonuses: The Junta In The Boardroom
Public companies and their management boards are run with all the democratic coziness of banana republics. The object of the junta is to transfer the wealth of the shareholders into the bonuses and stock options of the management. As they used to say in China, "business is better than working."
Amidst the outcry over excessive executive pay, it is worth noting that, in the caudillo management culture of many public corporations, there is nothing more annoying than a shareholder with an interest in the company that he or she partly owns. The most dreaded corporate day of the year is that of the annual meeting, when outside consultants are hired to screen bothersome questions and choreograph the happy gathering. read more »
Fixing the Mortgage Mess: Why Treasury's Efforts at both Ends of the Spectrum Are Failing
To get a better idea why the Obama Administration's efforts to stem the home foreclosure crisis have failed at both ends of the problem, you need only go back to that great scene in Frank Capra's classic, "It's A Wonderful Life," where protagonist George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) is on his way out of Bedford Falls with his new bride and high school crush, the former Meg Hatch (Donna Reed). The newlyweds are heading toward the train station to leave on their honeymoon when Meg notices a commotion outside the Bailey Bros. read more »
Stimulate Yourself!
Beltway politicians and economists can argue themselves silly about the impact of the Obama administration's stimulus program, but outside the beltway the discussion is largely over. On the local level--particularly outside the heavily politicized big cities--the consensus seems to be that the stimulus has changed little--if anything.
Recently, I met with a couple of dozen mayors and city officials in Kentucky to discuss economic growth. The mayors spoke of their initiatives and ideas, yet hardly anyone mentioned the stimulus. read more »
American Agriculture's Cornucopia of Opportunity and Responsibility
A complex agriculture, along with urban culture, is one of the fundamental pillars of human civilization, and one of the fundamental bulkwarks of American prosperity. For families and communities involved in farming and ranching it's also a way of life that is cherished, oftentimes passed on through generations, taking on reverential if not religious overtones.
At the same time in today's overwhelmingly urban culture, cooking has become prime time entertainment, dining a social event, and what a person eats is increasingly associated with a healthy body and mind – sometimes a sort of spiritual well being. This elevates agriculture to an important issue even among those who have never spent a day on a farm. read more »
Too Big To Fail Needs to Go
One of the causes of last year's financial collapse was the adoption of the concept, 'Too Big To Fail'. Washington decided long ago that some firms are so large and so integral to the economy that the failure of one of these firms would put the entire economy at risk. So, the government insures them at no cost. read more »

Outside consulting firms are helping the Meridian Public School System. Staff with the firms are pointing out areas that need improving and those that are already excelling.
Firm employees point out that the meridian public schools have the potential to grow and succeed. There are certain teaching methods that the firms are trying to incorporate more often into lesson plans. Doctor Don Evans, the President of the Meridian Public School Board says these consulting firms bring in another set of eyes for an outside look.
"Well, when you bring in consulting firms, they come in to look to see how your educating the children; the process that you're using. Through that we asked them to build capacity within our schools. That's an external eye that gives our people a new look at things, because when you're there, the principals and administrators there all of the time, they might not see what this external group can see," says Evans.
Staff with the consulting firms say the teachers of the district have been very receptive to their suggestions. They are also meeting with the school principals.

G4TV has at last announced the premiere dates for the Madhouse-produced anime Iron Man and Wolverine anime series.
Based on stories by Warren Ellis, the 12 half-hour weekly episodes begin Friday, July 29, at 11 p.m. ET/PT with Iron Man, followed at 11:30 p.m. by Wolverine. Anime adaptations of X-Men and Blade will debut later this year.
Starring Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), Iron Man follows Tony Stark as he travels to Japan to build a new arc reactor that will provide unlimited free energy. But when the nuclear reactor is repeatedly attacked by the mysterious Zodiac consortium, Iron Man but gather his allies to challenge Zodiac and its mastermind.
Wolverine features Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia in a story based on the 1982 miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller — the primary source for Fox's The Wolverine. When Mariko, the love of his life, is forced back to Japan by her crime-lord father, Logan vows to get her back. As a result, he's drawn into a world of corruption and violence, forcing him to team up with a young assassin named Yukio to cut his way through the criminal underworld.
I hate the look of Wolverine in both Shows. I have a hard time Accepting a Wolverine who prettier then most of my Ex Girlfriends. I wish they had used the look they used in the X-men Anime as it's Spot on perfect.
Maybe you should try dating prettier girls then or at least exclude the ones with sideburns…
Damn you DirecTV for removing G4 from your lineup.
Adiran Pasdar voicing Iron Man, awesome!
Milo Ventimiglia voicing Wolverine, hahahahahahaha

Posted on 10/15/2007 10:41:26 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
Governor Blasted for Signing 'Sexual Indoctrination' Bills By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor October 15, 2007
(CNSNews.com) - A conservative group says private schools and home schooling will be the only sanctuary for California parents when two "school sexual indoctrination" laws take effect on Jan. 1.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- without comment -- signed four bills backed by the homosexual community over the weekend, two of them dealing with public schools. (Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed similar bills last year when he was running for re-election, conservative groups noted.)
"Arnold Schwarzenegger has delivered young children into the hands of those who will introduce them to alternative sexual lifestyles," said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), which helped lead the statewide charge against these bills.
"This means children as young as five years old will be mentally molested in school classrooms. Shame on Schwarzenegger and the Democrat politicians for ensuring that every California school becomes a homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination center."
Current California law legally protects California public school students from harassment as a result of skin color, ethnicity or sexual orientation. The California Student Civil Rights Act (SB 777) updates specific anti-discrimination provisions that are scattered throughout the state's Education Code.
Supporters said the new law is supposed to eliminate "confusion" about the state's responsibility to ensure that all school programs, textbooks, instructional materials and activities are free from unlawful discrimination.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
The RINOs RINO.
Well now that California has banned "mom" and "dad" as offensive, and said its perfectly ok for men to go into womens bathrooms so they can molest your little girl.. its time for Mom's and Dad's with any decency to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE STATE!
Leave it to the sodomites and the mentally deficient. Its long past time to abandon that state.
Another reason CA would have been as well off with Davis in 2003.
If you can't trust a governor who won't lift a finger to save the lives of defenseless, unborn babies, who can you trust?
Gropinator sticks it to Californians yet again.
Status Bill Description Vetoed AB 43 Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act Signed AB 14 Civil Rights Act of 2007 Signed AB 102 Name Equality Act Signed AB 394 Safe Place to Learn Act Signed SB 105 Domestic Partners Joint Income Tax Filing Implementation Bill Signed SB 518 Juvenile Justice Safety and Protection Act Signed SB 559 Fair and Equal Taxation for Surviving Partners Act Signed SB 777 Student Civil Rights Act Passed SJR 6 Resolution Supporting the Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Passed AJR 29 Resolution Urging Federal Support of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act
Arnold is lining his cage so that he can get reelected; doesn't want any conservative baggage that might hold him back. He likes the power of the position and is a wonderful example of a RINO.
Where is FairOpinion to tell us how this is really a great thing?
Foreshadowing a Guilani presidency?
Any idea about the proportion of the Republican vote that he could be expected to get? (E.g., just how many like-minded RINOs are there in CA?)
In fact, Giuliani has compared himself to Schwarzenegger:
"I governed very much like your governor does. I got results and I want people to look at that and say that's the way I would govern as president of the United States. I would get results,"
-- Rudolph Giuliani, 6/29/2007
Sadly, Tom McClintok could have won if not for Republican-first hacks like Sean Hannity.
I never thought I would regret recalling Gray Davis, but I am actually considering going into the regret mode.
Doug, Want to take a stab at rewriting FZ's Wonderful Wino as "Wonderful RINO"?
Good question. Maybe he was purged from FR.
Let's keep in mind, FairOpinion is the same guy that is telling us electing Giuliani would be a great thing. This RINO lovers are consistent...consistently wrong.
Next bill:
Make it illegal for homeschoolers and private schools to exclude this indoctrination from their curriculum, or, heck, just make it illegal for parents to have anything to do with their children's education.
The ninth circus has already ruled that parents have no rights when it comes to teaching these things in the public schools.
If Guliani said that, then Dobson should get going on a third party. Rudy and Arnold, the girlie man twins, will destroy the party.
To quote John Fund: "Is Governor Schwarzenegger the Terminator, or is he a girly man?"
I remember how mad I was at Hugh Hewitt and some other conservative radio stations who insisted that only Schwarzenegger could be elected, so shut up, all you conservatives. Was it worth it?
oh you are so unpragmatic /sarc
They have long been indoctrinating the kids anyway. This just gives them power to impose consequences on those who refuse to do it. But enough do it willingly that the kids are increasingly lost causes. Look at the opinion polls.
I'm not sure Davis would have even thought of this outrage, but he may have, and he could have enlisted Arnold as his cheerleader-in-chief!
Why do Californians keeping putting these people in power?
The conservatives leave CA, but there are so few of them that the transplants are turning NV, MT, CO, and AZ into future liberal strongholds. I think we are losing badly.
"Arnold is lining his cage so that he can get reelected; doesnt want any conservative baggage that might hold him back."
Arnie is termed out...this is it for him.
"...if not for Republican-first hacks like Sean Hannity."
Hannity is doing it again. As the #2 radio host, he unfortunately has a lot of opportunity to influence a lot of people into believing this "Rudy is the only one that can win" mantra.
I really wish more wide reach conservatives would pick up the torch and name names when it comes to candidates with real conservative credentials.
This is what happens when you put a RINO into office. Yet there are people on FR who are perfectly willing to vote for Rudy or Mitt. And this is why I'll never vote for Rudy or Mitt...not ever.
Half can not speak english and a quarter can not read.
They pull the lever their leaders tell them too.
Once California led the nation in education, today it is a multi cultural joke. I guess if they are not teaching them to read and do math they can at least prepare them for the perverse culture they live in
When it looked like Arnold was going to win, I voted for McClintock, but against the recall. It was the hardest vote I've ever cast, but perhaps the best considered.
Half can not speak english and a quarter can not read.
They pull the lever their leaders tell them too.
Are you calling the CAGOP leadership a bunch of illiterate morons?
If so, I'm with you.
The CA GOP leadership has been totally and completely infiltrated, IMO.
I've been telling people for years, that your children are effectively wards of the state from the moment they step on the bus until the moment the step off at the end of the school day if they attend public schools.
I am generally called names for this, but it is effectively the truth.
California's exodus needs to rapidly increase. No sane rational caring parent can subject their children to this nonsense.
This of course will also affect the rest of the country as California is one of the largest purchasers of Textbooks... so even if your state is sane, you likely will have textbooks entering your system in a few years that won't refer to mother or father etc etc.
People in California should be "storming bastille" over this.

Actually you're suppossed to average up.
The valuation on this thing is quite silly. They've done nothing but grow and continue to since their iPo, more products, more cash, more revenues, more ebitda, more net income, more customers, but stock near iPo prices? Lol

Brief Synopsis
Domestic public opinion is frequently and correctly described as a crucial battlefront in the war in Afghanistan. Commentary by media and political figures currently notes not only the falling support for the war in the United States but also in many of its key allies in Europe and elsewhere, making it all the more difficult for the Obama administration to secure the help it believes it needs to bring the war to a successful conclusion. This study is an extensive examination of the determinants of domestic support for and opposition to the war in Afghanistan in the United States and in five of its key allies--the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, and Australia. Tracing the trajectory of public opinion on the war from the original invasion in 2001 to the fall of 2009, this paper concludes that the combination of mounting casualties with a declining belief that the war could be won by the Coalition is the key factor driving the drop in support. Other factors, such as the deployment of numerous and shifting rationales by the political leadership in various countries, and the breakdown of elite consensus have played important but secondary roles in this process.

I'm currently having a "Whoa is me moment". For those that don't know me or my situation I'll give a brief history.
SD and I are not together and have never really been together. My dd's are now 5 and has only seen him a handfull of times. My paternal side of the family helps me as best as they could. I'm a single parent that goes to work full-time and attends school full-time in the evening. I made to decision to move back to my homestate in 2007. The cost of living is killing me.
Present day:
I feel as if I'm not the best parent, in which I could and should be. It seems as if I'm working to stay afloat and slowly sinking below. I'm a student loan whore b/c i'll accept all that they give me. I would love to be able to use that money to take my dds someplace special,but the reality of the matter is that I can't do so. I have to use the money to catch up on all my bills and pay back my aunt the money I borrowed from her (so i could be able to borrow again when I need to). I feel like i'm letting my dds down b/c I'm always cranky and it seems as if everything is not in the budget (my way of telling them we don't have to money) Breanna wants to take dance classes badly and I honestly can't afford to pay for them. However, I did enroll them in a free ballet class for this semester at their school. I know that's doing something, but I don't think it's doing much. I would love to re-do their room, but know I can't b/c I need to pay down all of my debt. I'm trying to get on Section 8 so that the cost of rent won't be too much, but I just have to play the waiting game. Everyday it's as if i'm trying to focus on how to climb out of debt so tha we could eventually have more in the longhaul,but it seems as if i'm just jumping into more and more. I never have time to spend to the girls b/c i'm either at school or too tired. I feel like my patience is getting shorter and shorter.
SD doesn't do a damn thing to help. Granted I did forgive and let it go,but at times I do think about it. I only want for him to send me insurance cards so that I won't have to argue with any/everyone why they don't have any. I would put them on my insurance at work, but I get paid by the hour and would not be able to afford it.
I'm tired of depending on others to assist me when it's my responsibility to take care of self and children. I feel like i'm losing my independence.
If CPS came to my hosue today I think I'd be in trouble b/c there's nothing to eat in the house (mainly fridge and freezer). The reason behind that is b/c I was on gov assistance (food stamps) but case was closed b/c she didn't get paperwork on time. I did fax it to her but she never received it and I couldn't find the transmittel to state I did. I'm not a horrible mother I do purchase food, which is another reason I'm behind on other bills. However, the remainder of the food that was still in there went bad b/c of evacuations and power going out. I applied for Disaster Relief Food Stamps and am now just waiting on them to come in.
I guess i'm just venting on how I feel right now. I want my daughter's to have to world and am not certain if I will be able to give it to them.

Konami releases PS3 patch for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Konami has released a patch for Castlevania: Lords of Shadows addressing save issues and also adds additional upgrades for PS3.
The patch helps resolve the "save game" issues related to user interaction with controller buttons, or disconnection of the controller while the auto-save icon is on-screen. The patch will also offer cosmetic upgrades such as ability for the loading screen text to scroll improving user readability.
Details for the Xbox 360 patch will be released by Konami "shortly".
The firm announced just last week the game had shipped one million copies in the US and Europe.

With 100% of Pingry graduates attending four year universities, the philosophical basis of the college counseling office is that "the match" is our most important concern; that is, matching the students with colleges which will allow each student to attain the best education, achieve the greatest success, and emerge from the experience as well prepared as possible to lead a productive, constructive and satisfying life.
With more than 2,500 colleges and universities available to our students, it is obvious that many would qualify as good "matches"; therefore, our function is to assist the student and the family in making the best decisions relative to applications and choice. It is fundamental to our thinking that the final decision-making role remains with students and their families.

Right then ladies and gents - time for this week's #MasterofCocktails. A real winter warmer this week, superb for chilly climes. We are, of course, doing a Spiced Ale Flip recipe.
For this one, you'll be needing an unusual bit of barware - a fire poker. Keep it next to the strainer and the bar spoons.
Now this is really a very straight-forward recipe, which you can adapt at will. It all comes together very fast, with prep.

I listen to a lot of music when I'm out in my sleigh on Christmas Eve. 'Blue Christmas' by Elvis, 'Lonely This Christmas' by Mud, 'Christmas in Hollis' by Run-D.M.C.. You know, the hits. I do have one tradition, though. Whenever I head through Little Rock, Arkansas, to leave presents for the chaps at the Rock Town Distillery, I always listen to 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' by Brenda Lee, 'Rockin' Robin' by the Jackson 5 and of course 'Let There Be Rock' by AC/DC.
Speaking of the Rock Town Distillery, you'll find a dram of their ace Arkansas Bourbon Whiskey behind window 15 of your Whisky Advent Calendars! Delicious stuff, packed with raisin, corn and vanilla notes.

Day 14 is upon us, which means two things...
1) We're 10 days away from Christmas. This could either instil joy or fear into your heart, dependent on whether you've figured out what gifts you're going to get everyone. (By the way, do you think the reindeer will mind getting a hamper full of carrots for the 18th year running?)
2) Behind the window of your Whisky Advent Calendars today, you'll be finding a delicious dram of IWSC Trophy-winning Balvenie 12 Year Old Single Barrel - First Fill! A superb single malt from the spectacular Speyside distillery, matured in first fill bourbon casks, with each bottle being one of no more than 300 drawn from a single cask. Top quality mince pie accompaniment, this is.

Indian single malt, eh? Something you may or may not have tried before, but as a man of the world I can assure you that top quality whisky is now being produced across the globe! The Paul John you'll find in the Whisky Advent Calendar today is produced in Goa, India by John Distilleries and their master distiller, Michael John (amusingly, no relation).
Their Edited expression is made using whiskies produced from both Indian 6-row barley from the Himalayan foothills and peated barley from Scotland, with the final single malt containing 15% of the peated spirit. It's matured in bourbon casks for probably around 3-5 years but, as with fellow Indian whisky Amrut, the tropical climate causes greater evaporation (around 12-13% a year compared to 'only' 2% or so in Scotland). This in turn means they effectively mature faster and even if there's no real substitute for time, the results are darned impressive!

On the Twelfth Night ye shalt discover a fabulous, unpretentious blended malt in your Whisky Advent Calendar. Why it's Monkey Shoulder, of course: "Better a witty fool than a foolish wit"!
Why is it called Monkey Shoulder, you ask? Well, back in what you refer to as 'the old days', maltmen turned the barley by hand - a very labour-intensive job. With the strenuous work and long hours these chaps undertook, they ended up with a bit of a hunch, known as 'Monkey Shoulder'. I end up with something similar on Boxing Day after carrying around my heavy sa... my heavy bag of presents all night. Luckily I get a year to rest up afterwards!
Made exclusively with malt whiskies from William Grant's three Speyside distilleries (Glenfiddich, Balvenie & Kininvie), Monkey Shoulder's matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and married for three-to-six months. It's a lovely treat served neat, with ice or indeed in cocktails.

Behind the eleventh window of your Whisky Advent Calendars you'll find a very famous name: Glenfiddich. It's famous because it's the world's best-selling single malt and the one that basically created the modern single malt category back in 1963! Some whisky drinkers tend to overlook whiskies from the top-selling distilleries, although it's often fun to see the same whisky drinkers try a couple of them! (All the better if they do so blind!)
Today, we have the pleasure of Glenfiddich 18 Year Old, the full bottle of which has received some fancy new packaging recently. Could be the perfect time to pick up a bottle (with some added treats below...) or else try and win yourself one...

"Behind window 10 you'll find Glen Garioch, a dram that's sure to make you cheery." Now, if that rhymed then well done, you're pronouncing Glen Garioch correctly and David Mitchell won't have to shoot you.
It should come as no surprise that I'm rather more jovial and benevolent than Mitchell & Webb's Grammar Nazi character when it comes to the sometimes tricky names that pop up in the whisky world though. I'm all about education rather than snobbery, so yes: simply say "Glen Geery" and you've got it. The taste is much more important than the name anyway, and this is a traditional highland single malt treat bottled at 48% without chill-filtration.

They say that when things come in threes, they're all the more pleasing for it. That's the rule of three. If today's anything to go by then 'they' may well be on to something, as the 3cl dram in our Whisky Advent Calendars is a delicious Lowland single malt which is distilled three times and matured in three different types of cask (ex-Pedro Ximénez, bourbon and Oloroso)!
So I trust you'll enjoy your Auchentoshan Three Wood, and why not also make the most of my treats below for Day 9 (that's three threes, by the way).
Ho ho ho! (<-See, pleasing.)

Greetings all. Anyone fancy a drink?
We're making a cocktail using Champagne for this week's #MasterofCocktails - it's The Magic Number recipe. It's not a 'Champagne cocktail', as that's a thing in its own right. This is a variation on a recipe I nicked from the Kamm & Sons website. Variation only in quantities, not ingredients. It's a great showcase for the Kamm & Sons British Aperitif - which is sort of bittersweet. Closest comparison would probably be Campari.
Anywhoo - this really is a very easy-to-make drink, and is a break from the Christmas tradition of 'all the Champagne'.

Back in the twelfth century I inspired the giving of tangerines in Christmas stockings you know, something that's remained popular right through to this day. More recently, chocolate oranges been given too - nom nom nom! As I'm also rather partial to a bit of Christmas cake over the festive season, you can probably tell where all this has been heading. That's right: Day 8 of Whisky Advent 2014, and the delicious dram of Scotch that lies behind the eighth window of our Whisky Advent Calendars!
Highland single malt matured in Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso Sherry casks, 'tis the season for The Dalmore 15 Year Old.

Asian Shares Mostly Up
Most Asian markets ended higher Wednesday, with resource- and financial-sector stocks underpinning the gains after a strong performance for global equities and commodities a day earlier.
Chinese stocks declined for the first time in four trading days, as coal miners returned some of this week's advances on profit-taking.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average added 0.3% to 8447.88, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index climbed 0.9% to 4187.50, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gained 0.8% to 19151.94, Taiwan's Taiex inched up 0.1% to 7188.21 and India's Sensex rose 0.1% to 16175.86.
China's Shanghai Composite fell 0.4% to 2276.05, paring this week's gains to 5.2%, while South Korea's Kospi fell 0.4% to 1845.55.
Peter Lai, director at DBS Vickers in Hong Kong, said that while mainland Chinese shares were consolidating after recent gains, hopes for additional stimulus from Beijing supported selected China-linked stocks across Asia.
"Investors are treasure-hunting, trying to find the laggards in the sectors promoted by the Chinese government. Steel and commodities are among those sectors," he said.
Mining giant BHP Billiton added 1.5% and iron-ore producer Fortescue Metals Group rose 2.6% in Sydney, while Aluminum Corp. of China added 2.3% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in a downbeat Shanghai market.
Several steel makers climbed in the region, with Bluescope Steel rising 1.2% in Sydney, Posco adding 0.7% in Seoul and JFE Holdings gaining 0.6% in Tokyo.
Angang Steel added 4.4% in Hong Kong and 0.9% in Shenzhen. The gains came after UOB KayHian upgraded the Chinese steel sector to overweight from underweight, while raising the recommendation on Angang to buy from sell on attractive valuations.
The region's energy stocks mostly advanced as Nymex crude-oil futures stayed above the $101 a barrel level.
Woodside Petroleum gained 3.2% in Sydney, Inpex Corp. rose 1.4% in Tokyo and Cnooc added 1.3% in Hong Kong.
In Shanghai, China Coal Energy dropped 0.4%, China Shenhua Energy declined 1% and Yanzhou Coal Mining lost 1.4% as investors locked in recent gains. The three stocks are still up at least 9% this week.
Some financial firms also strengthened after American banks led gains on Wall Street overnight.
Shares of HSBC Holdings climbed 1% in Hong Kong and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group added 1.9% in Tokyo.
Shares of Nomura Holdings rose 3.2% in Japan, shrugging off a Wall Street Journal report that the firm's joint deputy president Jasjit Bhattal, the broker's highest-ranking non-Japanese executive, was leaving due to differences over strategy.
In Sydney, Westpac Banking rose 2.1% after Nomura upgraded the stock to buy from neutral.
Tokyo-listed technology shares also moved higher, after the Nasdaq Composite Index notched a four-session winning streak.
Fujitsu rose 2.2%, while chip-maker Elpida Memory put on 1.3%.

The bow of the DHB Dauntless is pointed towards the Western Entrance and English Channel where the MS Disney Magic cruise ship is manoeuvring into position prior to berthing at Cruise Terminal 2 on the Admiralty Pier of the Western Docks.
This Dover Harbour photo was taken at 5.54 am on Sunday, 18th of July 2010, from near the lighthouse end of the Prince of Wales Pier.
The DHB Dauntless Tug at Sunrise, Cruise Terminal 1 photo was taken a few minutes later.
The long low building on the Admiralty Pier behind the tug is the Cruise Terminal 2 building. The area between the Admiralty Pier and the Prince of Wales Pier is the Inner Harbour, once called the Commercial Harbour.
A Dover Harbour Board webpage giving advice about Dover Port Control to arriving commercial shipping states:
Two Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tugs, the "DHB Dauntless" and "DHB Doughty", each with a bollard pull of 55 tonnes, (3,600kW) are available at one hour's notice for berthing in Dover. They operate over the bow with their own 80mm towing ropes, usually towing through the vessel's forward and aft centre leads. Please have at least two heaving lines of sufficient length to reach the tug, available forward and aft. The tugs are usually made fast once inside the harbour, although in fair weather it may be possible to make fast the aft tug before entry. The stern tug will be secured as soon as the vessel has come through the entrance and the bow tug will make fast once the vessel has almost stopped in the fairway to the south of the East Buoy.
And on departure:
...both tugs are let go before the vessel passes between the breakwaters, unless the vessel is proceeding stern first.
The tug was named DHB Dauntless on the 1st of June, 2000, "by Dover Harbour Board members Margaret Llewellyn (Chairman) and Cynthia Alers (non-executive director) for Barclays Mercantile Business Finance Ltd, manager DHB - Dover Harbour Board." (1)
The DHB Dauntless appears on a number of previously uploaded photos. Among those where the tug doesn't appear completely dwarfed by a cruise ship are:

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday scotched speculation his government would launch an offensive against the Taliban following a wave of bloody attacks, saying he wanted to "give the peaceful solution another chance".
Sharif's government has come under fire for failing to come up with a strategy to respond to a surge in militant violence, which has seen more than 114 people killed in attacks since the start of the year, according to an AFP tally.
Sharif was elected to office last year vowing to bring an end to a homegrown Taliban insurgency that has raged since 2007, by engaging militants in meaningful dialogue.
But preliminary efforts to reach out to the Taliban ended after a US drone strike killed their then-leader Hakimullah Mehsud in November.
The Taliban have since said they will only talk if the Pakistan army withdraws from the country's restive tribal areas that border Afghanistan, and puts an end to US drone strikes.
In a highly-anticipated address to Pakistan's parliament Wednesday, Sharif paid an emotional tribute to the victims of terrorism, saying: "Common citizens are being targeted and our innocent children are dying. Society is surrounded by fear."
He also slammed the Taliban for rejecting the government's first offer of talks and distorting the teachings of Islam, adding: "Our very existence is endangered. We cannot make the nation and the country hostage to militants."
He continued: "I know that today if state wants to eliminate terrorists by force, the entire nation will stand by it, however, when the offer of talks has come to fore from the other side, we ... want to give the peaceful solution another chance."
To aid in the renewed dialogue efforts Sharif said he would form a four-man committee that includes leading journalist Rahimullah Yousufzai.
Reacting to the speech, opposition scion Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the 25-year-old son of slain premier Benazir Bhutto,accused Sharif of appeasing terror.
"Support NS (Nawaz Sharif). I want him to be our Churchill. Unfortunately he is becoming our Neville Chamberlain pursuing policy of appeasement," he tweeted.
