Upton-upon-Severn flood defences unveiled
- 13 July 2012
- From the section Hereford & Worcester
Flood defences in a Worcestershire town are to be officially unveiled later.
The second and final phase of a £4.5m flood alleviation scheme in Upton-upon-Severn has been completed in Waterside and features a permanent flood wall.
An earth embankment, flood wall and floodgates across New Street were introduced in phase one last year.
The Environment Agency (EA) said the new defences in Waterside would defend 64 properties with a "one in 150 chance of flooding in any given year".
According to the EA, the town has flooded at least six times in the last 11 years and a total of 78 times since 1970 - the most notable being in July 2007 when 28 properties were affected.
The MP for West Worcestershire, Harriett Baldwin, will be among those at a ceremony that gets under way at 18:15 BST.
Ms Baldwin said: "For centuries, the people and businesses of Upton have lived with the threat of repeated flooding.
"The town has flooded over 70 times in the last 40 years and has had the reputation of being the most flooded town in Britain.
"The Environment Agency team has worked tirelessly on this scheme and we can all see what a tremendous job they have done."

October 14,
2008: Over the last month Uganda has been increasing the alert level of its
police forces and military units. The
government said that it has received "threats" because it has a peacekeeping
force deployed in Somalia as part of the African Union peacekeeping contingent.
Attacks within Uganda, perpetrated by Islamist terror groups, were a major
worry when Uganda agreed to organize the force. Domestic opponents of the force
said that Uganda would become a target. Advocates argued Uganda was already a
target for radical Islamists since Uganda had supported South Sudan's fight
against the Sudanese Islamist government (Khartoum) and had cooperated with the
US in The War on Terror.
October 2,
2008: A Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) spokesman accused the government of
reneging on promises made as part of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement.
The LRA has objected to a recent statement by a senior government official that
the rebels should be "starved" in their camps. What the government said (on
September 28) was that food aid groups and NGOs should stop supplying food to
the LRA camps.
29, 2008: Two ethnic groups in Karamoja (Jie and Dodoth) clashed after a cattle
raid. Three people died in a heavy firefight. The Dodoth accused the Jie of
conducting the raid.

This is a list of websites as of June 2016 about Novel Psychol Active Substances (PDF)
- Methamphetamine indicators are now as high or higher than they were before the pseudoephedrine ban. Since 2013, methamphetamine has been the drug most commonly reported by forensic laboratories, outranking both cocaine and cannabis. It is ranked by DEA as the #1 threat in the Dallas area, #2 in the Houston area, and #4 in the El Paso area. The P2P methamphetamine made in Mexico is increasingly pure and more potent with more reports by outreach workers of use by men who have sex with men and high-risk heterosexuals which will result in increases in STD and HIV. Customs and Border Patrol reports show the seizures along the Texas border in the western part of the border are up by 260 percent and up by 420 percent on the lower border. Methamphetamine dissolved in water is a method of importation into the U.S., where laboratories on the Texas side convert it back into Ice. The increased availability of the drug has led to a decrease in prices; an eight-ball that cost $400 in the summer of 2014 was selling for $225 in February 2015.
- Heroin users are becoming younger and less likely to be people of color. Indicators have been rising and the increase of 352 percent in heroin seizures on the western part of the Border may point to a new supply chain to provide heroin to West Texas and New Mexico. The new Mexican "white" heroin transits through Texas to the East but it is not as potent as the South American white.
- The synthetic cannabis situation is marked by sporadic clusters of overdoses which may be due to amateur chemists mixing the drugs or bad batches of precursor chemicals. Given the large number of cases reported along the lower border, importation of chemicals from Mexico may be a factor. The chemical ingredients have changed from JWH varieties to AB-Chminaca, AB-Fubinaca, AB Pinaca, and PB-22, and spikes in overdoses continue with $5 sales by street dealers.
- The cannabis situation has been influenced by both supply and demand. Supply has seen market changes due to drought in Mexico, gang warfare, and increased border protection, which limited the availability of the Mexican cannabis, which led to increases in home-grown and hydroponic in Texas and now the availability of high quality cannabis from Colorado. The demand for the drug has been influenced by changes in patterns of use with blunts and now electronic cigarettes and the "vaping" of hash oil and "shatter".
- "Molly" initially referred to ecstasy pills with high quality MDMA powder. After the MDMA shortage several years ago, the capsules were more likely to contain caffeine, methamphetamine, & methylone with little MDMA.
- The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction issued a warning in February 2014 that "dangerously high" levels of MDMA were appearing in Europe.
- MDMA tablets in the Europe in 2012 contained 60 – 100 mg of MDMA, but tablets containing 150 and 200 mg of MDMA are were available in February 2014 and the warning stated they could contain even higher amounts, e.g. 240 mg.
- Deaths due to potent levels of MDMA have been reported in New York City at a music festival last summer and a recent death in Austin involved MDMA.

Stalking The Wild Morel in The Woods Of Oregon
Published: May 20, 1998
(Page 3 of 3)
Finally, Mr. Beckett rejoined us, and he spotted morels at once, near where we stood. ''There,'' he cried, pointing with his walking stick to what looked to me like a pine cone. ''And there, and over there, too.'' In five minutes, he had a dozen beauties, some of them two inches tall. Some were hidden by shadow, some by fir needles, some by a fallen tree limb.
''I just went through there,'' Mr. Czarnecki muttered, wounded.
Mr. Beckett, 56, arranges financing for equipment rentals when not busy in the forest. He decided that radical measures were now required. We would visit his secret willow tree. Back into the van, down the highway, and there it was. But so was a man in a pickup, just pulling away -- a ''commercial,'' as amateurs call them, a professional collector and seller of mushrooms in a trade that has become so profitable that some carry guns to ward off thieves. This one was a long-haired logger; others are Cambodians and Mexicans.
''That's an absolute low in my mycological career,'' Mr. Czarnecki said, dripping contempt. ''One of them, in one of Ken's best spots.''
Undaunted, Mr. Beckett headed for his tree anyway and proved that amateurs sometimes outshine pros. He was soon spotting big morels in hidden crannies. ''Watch out,'' he yelled at me at one point. ''You're standing on two or three.'' I had no trouble spotting them once I knew where they were.
Finally, we had to head for home. Mr. Czarnecki fretted all the way about dinner, which he was cooking for my wife, Betsey, and me, and some winemaking friends. Mr. Beckett came to the rescue, donating not only his entire day's take but also some of the morels he had found earlier in the week.
That night we had a feast: not only wines from Archery Summit and Eyrie and WillaKenzie, three of the Willamette Valley's best vineayrds, not only matsutakes in won tons, the first time I had sampled that elusive flavor, but also Mrs. Czarnecki's smashing three-mushroom tart (made ''with cepes and other things,'' she said with studied vagueness) and lamb with shiitakes and morels Rosenthal -- gently braised morels in a nest of crisp phyllo strands called kataifi.
It made us forget all about our failures in the forest.
Adapted from Jack Czarnecki
Time: 30 minutes
6 ounces ruffled pasta (radiatore), tricolor or plain
6 ounces fresh morels, cut into approximately the size of the cooked pasta
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 small red or green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon arrowroot mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
1. Bring about 6 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil, and add the ruffled pasta. Cook until it is al dente, about 8 minutes.
2. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the mushrooms: in a large skillet over a medium-high flame, heat the oil and add the onions and bell peppers. Saute until they are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the morels, salt, sugar and soy sauce. Stir well, and simmer for 1 minute. Add the arrowroot mixture, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute more. Adjust the salt to taste.
3. Drain the pasta, and transfer it to a serving bowl. Add morels and sauce, and mix gently. Serve immediately.
Yield: 2 servings.
Adapted from Jack Czarnecki
Time: 1 hour
12 ounces kataifi pastry (available at Greek and specialty markets), divided into four long bunches
7 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs, like savory, thyme, oregano, or basil
1/3 cup thinly sliced onion
1/3 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 pound whole fresh morels
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce.
1. Heat oven to 300 degrees. On a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, form each bunch of kataifi strands into a circle about 4 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter, allowing some strands to form the bottom of the nest. Melt 3 tablespoons butter, and drizzle over the kataifi. Sprinkle the fresh herbs on top. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. Set aside at room temperature. (Nests may be made up days in advance if stored in an air-tight container and kept cool.)
2. In a large saute pan over a medium flame, heat 2 tablespoons butter and add onion and bell pepper. Saute until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add morels, and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover pan, and allow morels to braise for about 15 minutes.
3. While morels are braising, prepare a roux: in a small saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Continue stirring until roux is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Add salt, sugar and soy sauce to the morels, and stir well. Bring liquid to a simmer, and stir in just enough roux to thicken the sauce. All of the roux may not be needed; the mixture will continue to thicken as it stands.
5. To serve, place the kataifi nests on four serving plates, and fill each with morels. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.

A man who slit a Byron Bay businessman's throat and then
blamed his own brother has been jailed for at least 21 years
for the "inexplicable" murder.
The truth about the death of 60-year-old John Garda, whose
body was discovered in a shallow grave at Broadwater on the
far north coast in February 2010, may never be known, Justice
Ian Harrison said in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday.
Kevin Malcolm Purtill, 41, from Lennox Heads, was sentenced
to a maximum term of 28 years' imprisonment for the murder,
which the judge found occurred during a drug transaction at
Purtill's home on February 8, 2010.
A jury found Purtill guilty despite his assertions that he
was innocent and that his brother, Warren Purtill, was the
The trial heard Mr Garda, a well-known Byron Bay convenience
store owner, came to Kevin Purtill's home on the afternoon of
the murder and a fight broke out.
Warren Purtill was downstairs watching a DVD with a neighbour
and the court heard he ran upstairs when he heard the noise.
The neighbour told the court she fled the scene after she saw
blood dripping through her ceiling from the unit above.
Testifying against his brother, Warren Purtill said there was
"blood everywhere" when he entered the unit and Mr Garda was
lying dead on the floor.
He said his brother had asserted Mr Garda was trying to kill
Warren Purtill said he agreed to dispose of the body and
clean the unit, while Kevin Purtill left for Brisbane.
He pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the murder and
was jailed for at least three years last May.
Kevin Purtill told the court that he left his home when
Warren entered and that Warren then killed Mr Garda - an
account Justice Harrison said was "frankly incredible".
"I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that (Kevin Purtill)
cut (Mr Garda's) throat from behind using a kitchen knife,"
he said.
"He has never accepted, as far as the evidence before me
reveals, any responsibility for a role in the death of (Mr
Garda) whatsoever."
Mr Garda met "an unexpected and particularly violent death",
Justice Harrison noted.
"The reason for the offender's attack on him remains
unexplained and ... inexplicable."
The court heard Kevin Purtill was being held in protective
custody as he fears a reprisal from his brother.
Taking into account time already served, he will be eligible
for parole in February 2031.

Hmm, I hope those rumors about no Club Nokia are just rumors...Kalafina, Maon Kurosaki and Nirgilis were AWESOME there in 2011. Don't go to the dances so can't comment there, but it makes sense that an actual club versus a convention hall would be better. I've heard friends rave about Club Nokia for dances in the past so I hope they use it again.
As far as concert venues go, I thought Hall G worked surprisingly well but I would much rather see Nokia be used again. But make no mistake, Nokia Theater shouldn't be used unless it's a big, big 'ZOMG,I can't believe they are coming to AX' guest. Club Nokia works fine and I would much rather pay the flat $20 for a more intimate concert experience.
As far as tools like Peter Ngo who would say that using said venues would require more expensive ticket prices than this year's prices, that would IMO be patently false as I've heard from more than a few people that it cost AX more to rent out and build out the setup in Hall G than it would for either Nokia venue which already has the stage and setup to begin with

I'm trying to change the WordPress Archive Timeline Plugin http://www.lalala.fr/blog/?p=25
so that I can have posts show only in the timeline archive per the category showing. (I've left a post at the authors site and have emailed but I can't seem to get a response.)
Basically I want posts related to category selected by viewer to show in the archive.
Here's the original code where I am thinking to change so it will only show the category posts (not my entire archive of posts):
// Get all posts
$posts = $wpdb->get_results(
"SELECT post.* FROM $tableposts as post WHERE post.post_status='publish' ORDER BY post.post_date DESC" . $Limit
The code I've changed/added:
I've added the global variable (note: I'm not very PHP literate) $tablepost2cat so I can pull only the category posts for that page. I'm calling the plugin from within my category.php file.
function wp_timeline() {
$wpdb, $tableposts, $tablepost2cat, $wp_query,
// Get all posts
$posts = $wpdb->get_results(
"SELECT post.* FROM
$tableposts as post,
$tablepost2cat as post2cat
(post.post_status='publish') AND
(post2cat.category_id=$category->cat_ID) AND
ORDER BY post.post_date DESC" . $Limit
Here's the error received:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') AND (post2cat.post_id=post.ID) ORDER BY post.post_date DESC' at line 6]
SELECT post.* FROM wp_posts as post, wp_post2cat as post2cat WHERE (post.post_status='publish') AND (post2cat.category_id=) AND (post2cat.post_id=post.ID) ORDER BY post.post_date DESC
So, I must have my query and/or syntax wrong but since I'm not fluent with MYSQL or PHP I've not been able to fix this.
Could someone point out where I'm going wrong?

A mass dragnet for a teen bombing suspect emptied the streets of Boston on Friday, after a frenzied night of violence left the fugitive's accomplice brother and a police officer dead.
Thousands of police went "door-to-door, street-to-street" in the suburb of Watertown hunting for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is alleged to have carried out Monday's deadly Boston Marathon attack with his brother Tamerlan.
The brothers, who are of Chechen origin, are said to have killed a police officer in one shootout before Tamerlan, 26, was hit in a second gun battle in which a second officer was seriously wounded.
Tsarnaev escaped the night-time posse and eluded capture so far Friday when authorities ordered people across the Boston area to stay behind locked doors. There were widespread fears that the teen had explosives strapped to his body.
Public transport in the city and Amtrak trains between Boston and New York were halted, while schools and universities, such as Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, were closed along with businesses. Barely a bar or restaurant was open in the ghostly city center streets.
State police chief Timothy Alben said "we are progressing through this neighborhood, going door-to-door, street-to-street," as police scoured the town of Watertown in search of the suspect.
Tsarnaev's family and friends appealed for him to surrender to police, who chased him armed with shotguns and automatic rifles, with the backing of helicopters and armored personnel carriers.
The brothers are ethnic Chechen Muslims who moved to the United States about a decade ago. Their social media pages appeared to express sympathy with the struggle of Chechnya, which has been ravaged by two wars since 1994 between Russia and increasingly Islamist-leaning separatist rebels.
A citywide alert issued after two bombs tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding about 180, reached a fever pitch in the hours after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released pictures of the two suspects on Thursday.
The brothers tried to rob a convenience store near MIT in Cambridge late Thursday. A police officer was killed in a campus shootout minutes later, according to authorities.
The suspects then carjacked a Mercedes, setting off a police chase to Watertown. The two hurled explosives out of the window before the elder brother was shot. He died of bullet wounds and injuries from explosives strapped to his body, a doctor said.
A police officer was wounded in the clash and Tamerlan's use of explosives sparked the fears that his brother also had bombs on his body.
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis described the younger Tsarnaev -- who was an all-star wrestler in high school -- as "armed and dangerous."
"We believe this to be a terrorist, we believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people."
Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick extended an order to the public to "shelter in place," saying it was important for people to "keep the doors locked" because of the danger posed by the fugitive.
The suspects' father Anzor Tsarnaev told Russia's Interfax news agency his sons had been "set up by the secret services because they are practicing Muslims."
An uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, said his nephews "put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity" and that the teenaged Dzhokhar should give himself up and seek "forgiveness".
The attack on the marathon, which sent a hail of nails and shrapnel into a crowd of thousands at the finish line, was the worst terror assault on the United States since the September 11, 2001 suicide airliner attacks.
Just hours before the manhunt, the FBI released pictures and video of the two suspects, appealing for help to identify them.
One -- now identified as Dzhokhar -- was wearing a white baseball cap and the other -- Tamerlan -- a black cap.
President Barack Obama, who was briefed Friday by his national security team on developments in Boston, has pledged that the "evil" bombers would be brought to justice.
"Yes, we will find you, and yes, you will face justice," Obama said Thursday at a service at Boston's Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
Boston has held emotional tributes to the dead -- eight-year-old Martin Richard, Boston University graduate student Lu Lingzi of China and Krystle Campbell, a restaurant manager. Obama paid tribute to all three at the service.
More than 100 of the wounded have left Boston hospitals and fewer than 10 of those still in hospital remain in critical condition. Some have horrific injuries and will require new operations, doctors said.

So, I had my laptop for 6 months and I have this problem of lagging everyday. Now, I have worse problem. When I reboot my laptop, it would say "hard disk failure" and told me to do system diagnostic. When it does run the test, it would say "hard disk test failure". So, I did hard disk test, but it would say test fail for all quick test, detailed test and SMART test. I read other post who had same problem received replacement hard disk from hp support and solved problems (http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hdx/562759
Re: HP Envy 14 Hard disk failure
Re: HP Envy 14 Hard disk failure
If your notebook is still under warranty then please contact with HP. They will send you new one for free. How to do it all informations here (just choose your country).
Re: HP Envy 14 Hard disk failure
So, I contacted HP support and I was very very disappointed.
First of all, my parents bought it in Korea and gave it to me.
Within 6 months, it breaks down.
I call them up and they redirected me to escalate(?) team and they will not NOT give me a
replacement hard disk. I am a college student who cannot make a trip to nearby hp repair center since its far away and I don't have time.
All I wanted was a replacement hard disk and they will not give me a **bleep** disk.
This is my first hp laptop and I got a reason why I will NEVER buy hp products.
Breaking down so easily and horrible service...

It used to be one of the residences owned by the Clam-Gallas family. This spa location is surrounded by mixed forest which, along with the mountain air, creates a perfect climatic spa. As early as in the Middle Ages, the local mineral water was dubbed "God's water", and during times of war it was given to the prominent warriors before the battle. The spa colonnade and nearby restaurant in the shape of a gigantic beer barrel are great places to sit and relax. Elegant neo-classicist pavilions with picturesque red roofs add to the colourful nature of the whole spa area.

Mike at our famous sign, just south of Mandalay Bay Hotel. A couple parked their rental scooter so they could include it in their photo. I used it as well.
Elvis was alive and well when when we stopped at the welcome sign. Gregg and I chatted with him for 10 minutes. Nice guy and fun to chat with. He hangs out for photos when not marrying folks or another gig. Had to pay $5 for the photo, but felt it was money well spent.
I hit the lottery and bought myself a new set of wheels! Well, no. A HS friend of mine is seriously wealthy and customized this Chrysler 300-SRT8. A very wealthy guy from Dubai is negotiating to buy it and take it to his country.
Such a hot day:) but so much fun:)

Are we going to drop 500?
No and it is too late to short, unless you like losing your silly ass
Not sure about the drop or how much but sitting long tonight is not a great place to be. GDP and intial jobless claims tomorrow could tank this market in a heart beat.
I doubt the market at this point will head much lower. Looks like it it is forming a bottom. Pretty stupid to be short now on mant stocks. But then greed is WS. Market down 40-50% in many areas I would NOT be short. Look at VW....that was a huge bloodbath! Expect more if longs realize a bottom is in...they will corner some shorts and let them fry. I suspect that just very short term short ops are comming...doubt anymore big 20-25% moves down this year. Next year? Maybe if the dow is back up another 2,000 points.Good luck all

Woman faces manslaughter charges in Wolcott motorcycle crash death
Cops say she was on Web while driving
Stephanie Clavell turned herself in at 7:30 a.m. Monday after learning that there was a warrant for her arrest on a second-degree manslaughter charge, Police Chief Edward L. Stephens said in a prepared statement. She was held in lieu of $25,000 bond and expected to be arraigned later Monday morning, Stephens said.
On June 25, Clavell, of 1728 Meriden Road in Waterbury, was driving a Subaru when it slammed into an older model Kawasaki motorcycle operated by Terrence Doyle, 53, who was stopped at a red light behind a GMC Yukon at the intersection of Meriden Road and Todd Road.
The crash pushed his motorcycle into the Yukon, throwing Doyle backward headfirst into the windshield of the Subaru. Police said Doyle was not wearing a helmet.
Two days later, Doyle died at Saint Mary's Hospital.
A police officer who witnessed the crash reported that Clavell was texting on her cellphone when the accident occurred.

2. No matter how many laws, bills, you name it, they pass, people won't stop texting or taking on the cell while driving.
So if you like to ride on your bike on summer time, better pray hard to God before you leave home. Or you can always drive a tank. "

We love these potatoes. I have been making them for years. I like to make a big batch of them and freeze them. Then they are ready to go any time I need them. thanks for posting
Made 4 large ones, plus baked an extra potato for more stuffing material. Really good recipe. The extra stuffing piled high made these extra good. Used super-sharp cheddar for tang. Sauteed the onions first before adding to the stuffing mixture. Coated the potatoes with butter rather than oil for baking...crispy skin. Line your baking sheet with foil to prevent scorch marks. Thanks, Manda.
Awesome! I halved the recipe because its just my husband and I but I didn't use onions, just because I was in a hurry and didn't want to mince them. I'm sure they would have been even better ( if thats possible)! Thanks

Skip to comments.The Case for Buying Low on Perry
Posted on 09/24/2011 6:37:39 AM PDT by TexasFreeper2009
One misconception is that Mr. Perrys standing had been declining in primary polls prior to Thursday evening. This simply isnt the case, at least not to any degree of statistical significance.
(Excerpt) Read more at fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com ...
Perry ping
Buying low? Didn't he tell Bachmann that he was insulted by the suggestion that he could be bought on the cheap?
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
I don't think Romney has a leg to stand on.
Rush Limbaugh
Ann Coulter
ect ect..
but could you at least spend maybe... HALF as much time bashing Romney as you do Perry? that's all I am asking.
Can I short sell Ron Paul?
And 70% of illegals are on welfare in TX as well, as I recall.
A pox on both of them—we can do better than either of the two, though the media wants to push us into taking one or the other.
I can't even fathom the consequences of that.
Boy, you establishment republican lovers are out in full force this morning trying to prop this lame candidate up.
His debate performance has not gone unnoticed despite your efforts.
Another heartless conservative
You need to go ahead and prepare that resignation letter...cause it will one or the other...
your lack of attacks on Romney has not gone unnoticed either.
I was certainly looking at voting for him.
Now, I'm not.
I imagine there's more like me.
Read my post again. I was poking fun at NEPAConservative.
It is true that he has not declined so far.
It is also true that next week is not here yet; and that the impact of the debate is not registered.
If next week shows steady, or rising, then the debate fall out is minimal.
I don't anticipate that, however, as the press coverage on the debate meltdown is continual.
you assume most people actually watch political news coverage :)
This article is a decent piece of analysis, though.
IF Christy announces next week, and Palin also announces in that same timeframe...both of which I think are big question marks and both of which I think were made more likely because of Perry's debate, but if those two things happen, then, this is a rather interesting primary.
(Alas, the more chaos there is, the more it helps a candidate who has money, message discipline [on the campaign trail] and passable retail skills. The only candidate with all of that currently is Romney....)
no, not really.
I think the article gets that right: a number watch the debates, the vast majority of those were never in play anyway (they are just junkies, or D's, or like freepers, they were supporting a candidate and hoping to see their candidate do well). But those that watch the debate are exceptionally vocal. Their loudmouths drive the news coverage, which in turn, drives money and other opinion leader stuff.
THEN...a few months down the road, the votes are cast by tens of millions in the primary, state by state.
The problem for Perry is that the game is real NOW. It is not the final game of gathering votes. But it is part of it, and an important part of it.
And his performance made it more likely that Christie, and because of that, that Palin will get in.
If both of those happen NEXT week, Perry is going to lose all press for two weeks or so, and thus will have to start retailing in order to undo the debate damage.
All of that happens in the context of those who watch coverage, and then finally, after New Year's Day, the rest of the primary electorate will start watching.
By then, the field will be set, and the damage from the debate will either be long forgotten, or ....will have proven fatal.
(Personally...I just want to beat obama.....)
I am beginning to think Mitt Romney had a point when he said at a previous debate that Rick Perry was dealt four aces when he took over as governor in Texas. I guess it would be hard for even a Mike Dukakis to screw up a state that already had a booming economy, a conservative legislature, a lack of socialist unions and a host of other advantages going for it. Does Perry really deserve the credit for Texas' success or did he just inherit a good situation and is now trying to taking credit for it?
I mean, it would be like if Ronald Reagan in 1984 put a clownish oaf in charge of his re-election campaign and then after his landslide re-election, everybody hailed this incompetent buffoon as a political genius who then proceeded to spend the next 30 years screwing up campaigns and making fools of his clients. Oh wait...I think that scenario actually happened!
So do we really want to make that same mistake with empty suit Rick Perry?
Other than looking good on camera and possessing the same artificial homespun drawl and snake-oil charm that worked so well for Bill Clinton, what exactly does Rick Perry offer us? Are there any real-life examples of Rick Perry being a real conservative or true leader that any of his rabid supporters can point to? If elected, will Rick Perry be a game-changer who will advance the conservative cause, or will he just more of the "same old same old" who will give us 4-8 years of weak leadership, paving the way for the next Democrat administration?
I understand we all want to beat Obama but we don't want to send a card-board cut-out there who will just be a place-holder with a "Republican" title. To use a football metaphor, the Democrat socialists have driven the ball (under Obama) into the red zone and it's 4th-and-goal at about the four yard line. If we allow them to get into the endzone in 2012, it's game over. On the other hand, it's not enough for us to just make a goal line stand and hold our ground. We need to get the ball back and start driving back down the field. Will Rick Perry be the man to move the chains if we let him have the ball? I don't think so.
they are not running
they never will run.
You don't just pop up in October and say... HEY ! surprise! I am running!
If they were running you would be hearing constant chatter about all the things they are doing in prep, like we did with Perry, and by the time they actually announced it would be anti-climatic.
The field is set, like it or not, these are our candidates to choose from and only two are even out of the single digits, take your pick.
If either or both Christie and Palin get in, Romney is a lock, because conservative votes will be split — same as the way McCain got the nomination.
And if Romney is a lock, so is Obama.
Brilliant strategy on the part of conservative and selfish on the part of conservatives.
If conservatives would support Perry, who IS the most electable conservative, he could get the nomination and beat Obama — but no, we have to have a handful of conservatives splitting the vote, so Romney can win.
People aren't considering the consequences of their action.
You might well be right, and the sheer forces of (real) history (not freeper history) certainly agree with you.
But this cycle, because of the carnage caused by obama, might well be different.
What do you make of Christy's "reconsidering" announcement?
Personally, I take that at face value. I think he may well be reconsidering.
I don't think Palin can run for the reasons you noted, unless Christy clears a path. (Insert offensive lineman jokes here).
I don't know how this will play out exactly. But the GOP has got to come up with someone to oust obama. That is the one thing that I do know.
Are you kidding me? Lol, I want them both defeated. Romney is worse than Perry but they But they both represent everything that is wrong with politics in the United States.
How about trying to elect someone who Co uld be a breath of fresh air for this nation. Someone who is willing to stand up against politicians like Perry and Romney and break down the insiders grip on Washington.
If we don't do it now we are doomed as a nation to failure.
People arent considering the consequences of their action."
Everything you wrote is spot on true.
But..it is also true that Perry caused this himself. You or I could have outperformed him last week. Why didn't he prep? Or why did he prep poorly? We don't know; we just see the result, and now this.
It could also be pointed out that he has acted selfishly by performing poorly.
I suppose the problem of all this is that you don't became a Governor and still have self-reflection skills remain intact. You have to believe in your own Teflon, and disregard all evidence to the contrary. Because that is what Perry showed the other night. He showed that he thought he didn't have to prepare and that it doesn't matter.
(GOP: just give us someone to beat obama.....).
But never saying a word about Romney, even though nearly 100% of what he did they disagree with.
I know, I know your gonna say, but everyone KNOWS that Romney is horrible.... but I will say no everyone only knows that if you keep saying it. If you only attack Perry without also pointing out how Romney is 10 times worse on that issue, you are helping Romney by omission.
Perry is new to the scene. Thus more attention towards him. You are right though, most know what Romney is all about. So why bother pointing out the obvious. :-)
You are right. Perry finally shoved illegal immigration in my face one time too many on Thurs and I just could not ignore it any longer.
I don't know for instance if a single Mass. cop ever detained a single illegal alien under Romney's watch, while Perry has ordered Texas rangers to the border than detain hundreds each day. Perry went along with 99% of the Texas legislature and signed a bill allowing the children of illegal aliens who have lived in Texas for the previous 3 years to receive in-state tuition rates (which they would have easily passed over his veto) while Romney is the architect of Romneycare the precursor to to Obamacare, and 70% of those using Romnycare are illegal aliens. Romney also as governor issued an executive order to all state agencies to implement gay marriage. I could go on and on.
Anything that Perry is bad on, Romney is 100000 times worse on. Remember that even McLame seemed conservative by comparison to Romney. I remember this, and maybe you remember this, but obvioiusly many here don't since many appear to be considering Romney instead of fighting like heck to sink him!
I can think of a couple off the top of my head....Perry (a non-lawyer) made tort reform a priority. It wouldn't have gone anywhere otherwise.
Likewise Texas push-back against the EPA. (air-quality etc.) Only a governor has stubborn as Perry would stand up against the Feds like he has.
Then Texas sued and won a lawsuit against the Feds over strings attached to education money owed the state. Don't know if Perry should get credit for that or not but it certainly wouldn't have happened w/o his backing and maybe his initiation. The state democrats were all for the federal stings.
He also was adamant (rightly or wrongly) against Texas spending it's total rainy day fund in the budget shortfall this past legislative session insisting on cuts instead. Without his opposition, the entire fund would have been used.
One of his priorities now is holding college administrators feet to the fire over the cost of higher education. He thinks they are inefficient and professors are teaching too little among other things.
I'm sure others can add to this and I could too if I wanted to put in some research time. IMO he's been a pretty effective governor.
True, Perry said no on below $5,000.00 , but then you may think that is low. But it does establish he is for sell, but you need to haggle over the price.
Are you going to hold your breath and stomp your feet, too?
I think it may actually show just the opposite. That he was OVER prepped, OVER prepared.
An example of this was at the end when he was trying to show that Romney was a flip-flopper. That was something he'd OBVIOUSLY planned to say. He'd memorized it and practiced it but unfortunately messed it up. That one sequence colored the perception of his entire performance.
Many people didn't like his in-state tuition comments but he said them well.
When Perry is out among the people speaking extemporaneously, he's articulate and at ease. I don't think he's been at ease in any of the debates.
What do you make of Christys reconsidering announcement?
That announcement came from Newsmax.com .. which has proven itself to be a totally unreliable source. If you read the article, and not the headlines, it cites an *unnamed source* and provides absolutely nothing to back up the headline.
Someone said something in here earlier that really made sense to me. As Perry continues to do so poorly, logic tells us that the poor showing will encourage Christie or Palin to get in. And no .. it's not too late.
I am not going to be content this election with simply putting a guy in the White House with an (R) after his name. We need a federal government that will move the country in the right direction and advance the conservative cause.
Notice I said government and not president. Because it will not be enough to simply replace Obama with a Republican. We will need additional seats in Congress to increase the GOP majority (preferably to a super majority) and we will need to put the Senate back under GOP control. Only then can we truly move the country in the right direction again by repealing Obamacare, stopping Cap & Trade, reducing regulations that are strangling our industries, reducing the tax burden for individuals and corporations, reducing the size of government, putting conservatives back on the Supreme Court, adopting the "Arizona" approach to illegal immigration, and I can go on and on. None of this will happen however if we are just putting a placeholder in the White House who will have little or no coattails.
So all that said, is Rick Perry the man that is going to move the chains for us? The Democrat/Socialists have us backed up on our 4-yard line and it's 4th-and-goal for them. If we stop them only to go four and out ourselves, we are only going to give them the ball back in 4 years in great field position. Instead, we need to get the ball back and hand it to a leader who will start picking up 1st downs for us so that we can march back across the field ourselves.
Sorry for all the football references but that is the best way I can explain our situation. We cannot settle for beating Obama with a president who will be weak on offense. We need a real quarterback who will be able to put together a game winning drive despite being backed up in his own end zone.
So I ask again, is Rick Perry going to be that quarterback? I do not think so. Definitely not Mitt Romney and probably not any of the other current candidates besides maybe Herman Cain. Sarah Palin? Absolutely. She is the one that will energize the base, win us the Senate and perhaps a super majority in the House. If she was able to put someone like Herman Cain on her ticket, she would completely neutralize the Obama/Hillary ticket that I see coming down the road (yes, I see Obama dumping Biden for Hillary at next summer's convention).
If it's Obama/Hillary against a Perry/Santorum ticket, we might as well all move to Canada.
You don't have to worry about Perry picking Santorum as VP (if given the opportunity). Regardless of who the candidate turns out to be, they'd be wise to pick Rubio.
As of now, I still support Perry for the following reasons: (1) He's had over 10 years of executive experience in a diverse, large population state and is a strong "state rights" person. States Rights = smaller federal government. (2) He is socially and fiscally conservative. Marriage between a man and a woman, anti-abortion with legislation to prove it. (3) Strongly pro-Israel (4) Believes American can and should be energy independent. (5) Wants a Federal balanced budget amendment. (Texas has one) (6) Hates the EPA and would certainly reform or abolish it. Same for the Justice Dept. re: Fast and Furious (7) Would secure the border contrary to the stupid charge that he is "open borders". (8) Believes in local control of schools (vouchers) (9) He realizes that it's imperative that changes be made in the entitlement programs. (10) He is a Christian.
George Bush has never been as tough as Perry is. His (Perry's) detractors say he is "ruthless" and "uncompromising" in accomplishing his goals. I don't know about that but I wouldn't mind having somebody "tough" as our commander-in-chief, as long as they had common sense and a true love for our country.
I very much like Herman Cain as well. The others are a no for me but I'll support anybody who can get Obama OUT. It's imperative.
You said: If it's Obama/Hillary against a Perry/Santorum ticket, we might as well all move to Canada.
Sorry, but I just don't go along with throw away lines like that. You want to move to Canada? Be my guest .. but don't speak for "we". As for myself, I am an organizer for the Tea Party in my area. I am going to stay and fight.
I have found, that the best way to enact change is from within. I have to deal with a lot of people who each have their own special interest .. they want to pull the movement into THAT direction.
Sorry, but I have no more patience with the threats about how they are going to "leave the movement" .. or "leave the GOP" .. or "leave the country" if they don't get their way. A pox on the threats and a pox on the childish behavior.
I promise you I won't throw myself on the floor, kick and scream, hold my breath, or get on my pity pot and make childish threats .. if the candidate who is chosen in the primary doesn't agree with me on everything!!!!
I will keep my eye on Obama .. I know where the enemy is.
well, you have to prep thorough...and smart.
somewhere, somehow, he dropped the ball....
I agree, "he dropped the ball". Although he appeared to be calm and collected, I suspect the pressure to "not make a mistake" and do good following his less than satisfactory first two appearances did him in.
If they hold out long enough, perhaps they think they can waltz in after the others have bloodied themselves to the point no one is electable.
This is a very dangerous precedent to be setting. This spectacle of a circular firing squad is disgusting.
What part of people don't want Romney or Perry is it you don't understand?
The new leader is Herman Cain.
Perry can't hold his own amongst his own party.
It's not up to you.
both he and Palin have lacked the courage to get their asses in these debates
They had good personal reasons for not running that have nothing to do with a lack of courage. (btw .. using vulgar language is not a sign of maturity)
If they hold out long enough, perhaps they think they can waltz in
If the candidates running are not representing us well, they may feel compelled to come in. Of course they can come in late .. it happens all the time in politics.
This spectacle of a circular firing squad is disgusting.
Pretty extreme language .. can't understand why you are so frightened of GOP having a larger group to choose from.
If this group of candidates have to withstand this kind of scrutiny, why shouldn't all of them? So we choose someone who has not gone though the same circular firing squad, how do we know they're any different from the ones we have now?
I'm sorry, but I don't put any faith in the Straw Polls .. I basically ignore them.
I am not supporting, nor rejecting, any of the candidates out there right now. In the end, I will campaign for whomever is selected in the primary election because I do not want four more years of Obama.
No candidate has to agree with me on everything in order to gain my support.
You sound reasonable. I, too, want to defeat Obama and I will support whomever is the nominee. Yea, we think we know where they stand on the issues but they have not had to be subjected to the same kind of badgering the other candidates have and I have no idea how either one of them would perform in a debate situation like these folks have had to endure. Just wait until one of them becomes the front runner and see what happens to them and how they handle it.

Which one is the "real" EX score?
I'm so confused about all of these scores! A couple weeks ago, I was logged into the EX site viewing my report, and there was a tab that said Score or something to that effect. I believe it was a Vantage Score. So I purchased it for about $8. Now this was within EX, not a third party site. That actually malfunctioned but then I called EX the next day and the CSR read my score to me over the phone and it was 664.
Now today I go to EX and there's a completely different report layout and score available for $1 for a 7 day trial. I paid for it, planning to cancel after I get the score anyway. It says
Your Experian© Score is:(as of 11/8/2012)
Again, this is from within EX, but it doesn't say anything about Vantage anywhere. There's no way I dropped over 64 points in two weeks, and I've studied my report to see if there's anything different. Other than a new CC account, there's nothing else.
So which is the real score? If that Vantage score was not real, why was EX selling it?

Dear Peoria,
It is with a heavy heart that we are officially announcing that Mango Fondue and Grill will be closing up permanently. We have had a fun run with everyone for the past 2.5 years but it is time for us to move on.
As of right now, a new business is in development to be moving in. While some of the staff of Mango will remain to help develop this new business, it is overall a new core team for its creation. More information will be posted as soon as we get it.
Again, thank you Peoria.

Witness: Can a video change human rights?
Video footage of a young man, Jamie Reed, allegedly being assaulted by police during the Sydney Mardi Gras this year went viral within hours of being posted. The video has now been viewed by over 1.8 million people, with some outraged by what they saw, others questioned the authenticity of the footage.
Now that almost all of us have the ability to record at our fingertips via mobile phones, is it becoming harder to trust the validity of the videos like this? Or is this a power we now have as citizen journalists to turn the camera back on 'Big Brother'?

As was apparent long ago, the video first shown was only of the last moments of a nasty confrontation, showing a big copper dealing with a little bloke in not entirely kind-hearted manner. Soon other videos appeared that showed the full story, and neither party was entirely innocent, to say the least.

Good thing none of these dumbasses tried that "reserved" bullshit while waiting in line for a Wii or PS3- otherwise they would have gotten themselves shot.
@2 - Elliot, is that you from beyond?
Sweet! They should have taken all their stuff and sold it at public auction, IMHO.
It's a Parade "Day".
That said, I was in line with my son and a friend to buy the Wii at midnight on release day, but we were inside Pacific Place.
Reserving spots at parades sounds really stupid. Especially to someone like me who called shot gun infinity like a decade ago.
I also get permanent first in line, no cutsies, so if I'm trying to see the new Brucheimer flick and you see me, do yourself a favor and make way for me at the ehad of the line, jerky.
People don't actually leave their stuff there days in advance, they just go down and tape out a spot, usually with a name or some other signifier, THEN bring in their stuff (and frequently we're talking literally truck-loads of it) the day-of.
Maybe things have gotten out of hand, I don't know; I don't recall that people used to do this DAYS ahead, but my dad used to do this for my brothers & cousins and myself more than 30 years ago. He worked downtown, so he'd go out and mark a spot with masking tape or some such in the morning for us when we arrived in the afternoon.
So, really it is an OLD tradition, and I don't recall anyone getting pissy about it; it was what you did - what everybody did, and apparently, still do, despite the efforts of those Grumpy McGrumpersons down at The Mercury.
COMTE: It's huge, and everyone does it, and they do it several days in advance. The entire parade route is taped off by Thursday night. The whole thing is stupid for many, many reasons, but the thing that always gets me personally is that no one fucking picks it up. I live near the parade route, and even with The Merc's help, there's still tape all over the sidewalk and will be for the next four months until the rain starts again. It's super trashy.
There's also the tie-in to the recently passed sit/lie ordinance, whereby the public is forced off their own sidewalks if they're not "desirable" (i.e. if you're homeless), yet for some reason we allow people from the suburbs to come in and "own" the sidewalk for a week.
That was the Merc's angle. I'm just pissed about the trash, though.
But yeah, it's hard to explain to someone who doesn't live here how big this news was. It led several evening news broadcasts and was even the top headline on the front page of the Oregonian. City council and a million blogs discussed it all week. Portland may be growing up, but we're still annoyingly provincial in so many ways.
Honestly, I'd be pissed about it too. I grew up in Everett, so not anywhere near as large as Seattle or Portland, but on our Parade Days, Dad and I would take the lawn chairs down to the route, usually sneaking the car passed police lines, and set them out the morning of the Parade.
He and I would sit there for the morning, watch the Pre-Parade Race, drink coffee, go to the downtown cafes, and in general have good Father/Son time.
Then the rest of the family would show up and ruin it. ;)
Clarification: I'd be pissed about people taping spots and claiming them days in advance. If you want a spot for you and yours, be there to claim it.
We should do something like this... in Seattle... to something we don't like... but something cooler than picking up litter...
What's the big deal? You find a nice spot that's taped off, rip the tape off and stand there anyways. Then when they show up you say "I don't see any fucking tape; I see me standing here and you standing over there with a bunch of fucking lawn chairs. Going someplace?"
Or is the tape come with a magic force field or something?
I'm with Fnarf. I'm amazed that anyone respected these taped off sections of sidewalk in the first place.
Greshamites, Canannites, Sodomites, they're all alike. They have reserved their place in the lake of fashion and glamour that is the Pride Parade. They have no need to rope their place, it is destined that they sit their on the sidelines forever. Amen and can we go now.
Also, the person in the photo appears to be halfway through taping off a giant red swastika, which worries me a little.
Fnarf, we're talking PDX; most people there wouldn't even THINK of doing something like that, especially since it's pretty common knowledge that families tend to claim the same patch of sidewalk year-after-year, as do the folks on either side of them.
So, what would be more likely to happen is that you would be tossed ceremoniously (accompanied by much cheering from adjacent celebrants) into the nearest recycling bin by a half dozen parade-watchers while their progeny pour the remains of their sticky sodas down your front, pointing and laughing all the while.
are people in PDX more passive aggressive than seattlites? i remember them being a little more friendly but is this the cost?
Fo' REALS!?
That shit is just COLD BLOODED!
Oh yeah? You and WHAT ARMY?
Either you camp out overnight or you rub elbows with the hoi polloi. Anyone who says otherwise can suck it.
Judging from the plastic bag in his hand and the ball of used tape in the foreground right guy's hand, I'm guessing that he's removing the half Swastika.
that's not half bad, then.
See, this should totally be adopted for Seattle's Pride Parade. Then, all the hungover homos who wanna see the parade won't have to drag their asses out of bed til the last minute.
Presumably the ARMY of Greshamites and Beavertonites whom you have enraged by your callous disregard for their "tradition". Seriously, seven or eight of these overfed behemoths would reduce you to a quivering pile of jelly just by their sheer weight alone (I have a number of relatives who live in those 'burbs, so I know of which I speak).
I'm not saying I would agree with their presumed response, just pointing out there most likely would be one under the scenario you laid out.

Can someone direct me to a way of adding an indicator next to my blog entry "Recent Entries" list that would show "NEW!" when fresh articles have been posted to the site since the reader's last visit?
I'm redesigning my site to have just one article posted with a sidebar of the last five. As a result, new articles beyond the fully expanded "top" story may not draw their attention.

This aristocratic residence on the banks of the Ülejõe River dating from the late 18th century is worthy of note for its original interior, which has been fully preserved. Adjacent to its Louis XVI style grand hall on the main floor you will find the exhibition 'Dorpat. Jurjev. Tartu', which provides a wealth of detail on the colourful history of the city.
Highlighted from different periods of Tartu's past are the medieval brick structures of Dorpat, the ruins that remain from the time of the Livonian War and the spiritual life of that era, 18th century handicraft and the background to signing of the Tartu Peace Treaty.
