A Maori Land Court judge presiding over complaints that volatile activist Hinewhare Harawira bared her backside to neighbours said he is thankful he doesn't have to decided whether it was a whakapohane or "a brown-eye".
In his decision about a stoush between Ms Harawira and trustees on the Te Tii Waitangi B3 Trust, Judge David Ambler also said a photo showing Ms Harawira performing the act in a Waitangi street last year was "mercifully" taken from some distance.
Whakapohane is the Maori word for the insulting gesture which Ms Harawira claims she performed as a cultural expression during the eviction of tenants from a Waitangi house. At the time Ms Harawira had been showing support for the tenants and had taken exception to jeering from neighbours who were watching the event.
But the issue Judge Ambler was presiding over was not the act of whakapohane but whether Ms Harawira's behaviour was appropriate for a trustee on the property managing trust (known as TB3), and whether allegations that she created "havoc" at a meeting of the trust were enough for him to bar her.
The decision to block Ms Harawira's appointment has been adjourned until September, after the next AGM of the trust, to which Judge Ambler has referred the matter.
A Land Court judge has to approve members of trusts overseeing Maori lands and properties.
Judge Ambler was presiding over an objection by other trustees Hapeta Rameka, Billie Taituha and Joyce Baker to Ms Harawira's appointment.
In his reserved judgment issued on July 5 he said he would "have deep reservations" about appointing Harawira as a trustee if she routinely "resorted to whakapohane or other similar gestures in response to abuse or other testing circumstances".
He pointed out that the offending behaviour had occurred after the last AGM where her nomination had been accepted.
"It would be disastrous to appoint Ms Harawira if her support has evaporated because of her post-AGM conduct," Judge Ambler said.
He dismissed the "havoc" allegations because they had not been specific.
Ms Harawira was one of four nominees for five vacancies at the trust's AGM on August 25 last year.
Tai Tokerau Maori leader Rudi Taylor said he believed she was not yet an appointed trustee.
"Maori have to take on the responsibility as role models if they want to represent their people in office," Mr Taylor said.
"At the end of the day people who play up aren't going to get in these positions."
In March Te Tii Marae officials tried to get Ms Harawira trespassed from a Waitangi Tribunal hearing she was disrupting.

This project began with a 70 Duster. Upon seeing the condition of the customers car we advised him to find a new body to save money. We assisted in locating a 73 Duster in great overall condition. We pulled the motor from his 70 and sent it out for rebuilding. His motor was rebuilt with upgrades: custom H-beam connecting rods, custom forged pistons, ported cylinder heads, custom rocker arms, and more. We replaced the original front K member and removing rear leaf springs. New Alterktion 4-link rear suspension by Reiley Motorsports.

Kosher. The word evokes pictures of kugel, kishka and caviar.
But forget the herring -- it's fish egg time. For two days, the second annual Kosher World Conference and Expo at the L.A. Convention Center plans to take conventioneers down an uncharted course into a yummy world of more than 100 exhibitors.
"This year, we have more, more, more," said Neil Ticktin, CEO of Kosher World. "More companies, products, showcases and attendees, as well as a new kosher cookbook. Even the 'Dennis Miller Show' will have a crew there."
Among the new products at the international trade show: caviar and bacon bits -- two items not often found in kosher homes. In addition to the New Product Showcase, look for a Wine & Spirits Pavilion, an International Pavilion, an Israeli Pavilion and an Ingredients Pavilion.
But it isn't just Jewish foodies and companies that are drawn to the expo.
"One of Kosher World's primary goals is to help grow the kosher market," Ticktin said. "One-third or more of Californians can make use of kosher -- only 20 percent to 30 percent of kosher food is consumed by Jews. Lactose intolerants [20 percent of the United States] can use pareve; Muslims use kosher because almost all products are halal [Islamic dietary law]."
In the months after the event, expect to see more kosher items at stores like Costco, Albertsons and Bristol Farms.
"Our goal is to bring kosher to mainstream and mainstream to kosher," Ticktin said. Last year's event had 3,380 attendees from 18 countries and 25 states.
Buyers will also be able to attend an accredited education program in classes like Kosher 101, which sold out during Kosher World 2004.
While the events on Feb. 15 are for companies and buyers only, for $18 the public can sample Kosher World on Feb. 16.
Bon appétit!

The IT needs of global enterprises pale in comparison to those of the US federal government, and this infographic explores these challenges.
In February 2011, U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra set a plan in motion to reform federal IT management, putting "Cloud First" and requiring federal agencies to evaluate their technology sourcing strategies so that cloud computing options are fully considered. Cloud First stressed the importance of each federal agency moving 3 services to the cloud over a time of 18 months.
This infographic examines the specific requirements outlined by the initiative, the challenges agencies have faced in its implementation and provides a simple and reasonable solution for U.S. government agencies seeking to make the migration to cloud.

DVD Extras: Commentary with director Salim Akil, Paula Patton and Laz Alonso; and two featurettes: "Honoring the Tradition of Jumping the Broom" and "You're Invited: Behind the Scenes."
DVD Review by Kam Williams
Very Good (3 stars)
Speaking of guests dating the help, maid of honor Blythe (Meagan Good) rejects Malcolm's awkward advances in favor of the smoothly-seductive Chef McKenna (Gary Dourdan). And elsewhere on the sprawling estate, Pam's middle-aged, best friend, Shonda (Tasha Smith), finds herself falling for a charming Yale University undergrad (Romeo Miller) less than half her age.
As hopeless as the situation sounds, leave it to Reverend James (Bishop T.D. Jakes) to minister to this dysfunctional menagerie. With him on the case, it's merely a matter of time before compromises are reached, vows are exchanged, and the entire wedding party's doing the Cupid Shuffle as the closing credits roll.

"The most sought after restaurant in South Florida, with a dazzling view of Biscayne Bay. Against the backdrop of the alluring Miami skyline, The Rusty Pelican is the perfect spot for a romantic interlude or that special occasion"
That's what they say about the iconic landmark Miami restaurant The Rusty Pelican.
This week is going to be a bit hectic for me as I am putting the final touches to my new menu for the new restaurant that I am opening. 'New' isn't really the right word to describe the Rusty Pelican as it has been around for 40 years, but is has just undergone an $8M renovation with everything brand new and that includes myself as I have left the W South Beach to take on this challenge.
We are putting together a great team and we are aiming to open the first week in December, so the next time you are in South Florida make a trip to the 'new' Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne.

Which brings me to this week's article; I was going to do something for Veterans Day which is this Friday the 11/11/11. World War I – known at the time as "The Great War" - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France.
However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of "the war to end all wars."
It is very likely that Veterans Day will be remembered/observed/celebrated much more than usual on November 11th, 2011 as the entire weirdo population and the 'tin foil hat' brigade will be looking for 'signs',
Most predictions and opinions concerning 11/11/11 are based on or rooted in its mathematical uniqueness as a number.
11*11*11: There are three possible scenarios:
1. Something good happens— There is absolutely no scientific basis for this belief. There are no known logical premises for this belief. The belief that something good will happen is based solely on spiritualism, faith, and/or innate optimism. This belief is not necessarily a bad thing; we don't know everything; the probability is not zero.
2. Nothing happens— This is the most likely scenario. Just because an unusual date number sequence occurs doesn't mean that something extraordinary will happen. Usually it's a non-event.
3. Something bad happens— There is absolutely no scientific basis for this belief. There are no known logical premises for this belief. The belief that something bad will happen is based solely on pessimism of reality. This belief is not necessarily false; after all, things are generally/usually a mess. The probability is not zero.
So there you go then, I was also going to write about the futility of Fall back, Spring forward, and full frontal nudity nonsense that we have to put up with twice a year. There are so many people for it and an equal amount against it that I suggest we put them forward just half an hour to appease everyone.
Why can we all just get along?
Which brings me to this week's article; I am not going to talk about the things that I have already talked about so I will let you in on some of my pre restaurant opening rituals. I am a constant list writer. I make list twice a day for things that I have to do and numerous lists throughout the day of things that my team needs to achieve. This doesn't necessarily make me a weirdo but it's up there.
Obviously in my line of work the food is the most important thing so I am going to give you a sneak peek of one of the dishes I am working on, this is the actual dish I made last night. It isn't perfect yet but hopefully it will be alright on the night.

In 2008, about 18% of children lived in poverty. Today, under the Obama 'Recovery' that number has increased to 22%, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation report released Tuesday. The expectation is that the 'improving' economy will improve those numbers. However, figures on employment show that most of the new jobs have gone to immigrants. Census numbers don't distinguish between legal and illegal.
Everyone knows that the best anti-poverty program is not a hand-out, but a job. President Obama admits this, but insists that the poor work just as hard as the rich do, and many poor people work very hard at low wages to support their families. Economist Stephen Moore points out that statistically, the average poor family does not work nearly as much as rich families do.
The Census sorts households by income quintiles: we call the highest one "the rich" and the lowest "the poor." In the top 20 percent of income, the average household has two full-time workers. The average poor family (bottom 20 percent of income) household has just 0.4 workers. Basic math: for every hour worked by those in a poor household, those in a rich household work five hours. But six out of ten poor households have no one working at all. With no income from work, it is not surprising that they are poor.
For rich households, 75 percent have two or more workers, for the poor households that percentage is less than 5 percent. Out of wedlock births and divorce have a lot to do with income inequality. Budget expert Isabel Sawhill of the Brookings Institute found that if marriage rates were as high today as they were in 1970, about 20 percent of child poverty would disappear.
The best way to help low-income families is with jobs, ideally 40 hours a week. When welfare takes the place of work, it contributes to long-term poverty. Strict work requirements for welfare programs are actually a help, every step towards becoming a worker is a step out of poverty. Raising the minimum wage destroys jobs at the bottom of the skills ladder, and leaves beginners nowhere to start.
Getting married before having children, and having a father in the home are great ways to avoid the trap of falling into poverty. The earned-income tax credit supplements low income wages. The left wants to increase the benefits of being dependent on the government. People who are dependent are apt to vote reliably for those who give them benefits. That's how the Left made people poor in the first place, and the rules for those who are dependent make it increasingly hard to escape.
Filed under: Democrat Corruption, History, Law, Politics, Progressivism, Statism, The Constitution | Tags: Administrative Law, Philip Hamburger, The Constitution
This lovely paragraph is in Myron Magnet's review of Philip Hamburger's Is Administrative Law Unlawful? in City Journal, the magazine of the Manhattan Institute:
The world-historical accomplishment of the American Revolution, and of the Constitution that came out of it, Hamburger notes, was that they turned upside-down the traditional governmental model of "elite power and popular subservience." Americans "made themselves masters and made their lawmakers their servants" through a Constitution that they themselves had made. They observed laws that had legitimacy because they themselves had consented to them, through representatives whom they themselves had chosen. And "they made clear that not only their executives but even their legislatures were without absolute power." Citizens claimed for themselves the liberty to do anything that the laws didn't expressly forbid, and that freedom richly nourished talent, invention, experimentation, specialization—all the human qualities that are the fuel of progress and modernity.
It struck me that much of what drives the Left is contained in that paragraph. What the Left aims for is elite power and popular subservience. Obama, today, in response to a Republican sweep of the 2014 election, has decided, instead of making an effort to work with Congress in a bipartisan manner, to conduct foreign policy and legislate all on his lonesome. Politicians, by their very nature have a healthy dose of self-esteem, and they choose their rhetoric carefully to place their accomplishments or lack of accomplishments in the best possible light. That's just natural. But insisting that because you are President of the United States you can do whatever you want to do by executive order, ignoring the tripartite nature of our Constitutional government, is just wrong.
The Constitution lodges all legislative power in Congress, which therefore cannot delegate its lawmaking function. It is, Hamburger says, "forbidden for Congress to pass a law creating an executive branch agency that writes rules legally binding on citizens—for example, to set up an agency charged with making a clean environment and then to let it make rules with the force of law to accomplish that end as it sees fit. The power of the legislative' as the Founding Fathers' tutelary political philosopher, John Locke, wrote, is 'only to make laws and not to make legislators.' And if Congress can't delegate the legislative power that the Constitution gives it, it certainly cannot delegate power that the Constitution doesn't give it—namely, the power to hand out selective exemption from its laws, which is what agencies do when they grant waivers."
James Madison, architect of the Constitution saw the separation of powers as an essential bulwark of American liberty. Administrative agencies, however, make rules, carry them out, adjudge and punish infractions of them, and wrap up legislative, executive and judicial powers in one noxious unconstitutional mess. Judicial power cannot be delegated as legislative power, the Constitution puts all of it in the judicial branch. Unlike real judges, administrative judges carry out the policy of their agency, as set and overseen by their department chief or the relevant cabinet secretary who in turn oversees him. This is not a court, and not a law, and not legal. Yet they can and do order parties to appear before it, and extort millions of dollars in settlements, force companies to allow inspectors to enter their premises without warrants, and impose real criminal penalties. It can even kill a whole industry, as Obama's EPA is attempting to do to the coal industry and the coal-fired power industry because the President mistakenly believes the carbon dioxide they emit is the cause of global warming.
Elites, particularly Leftist elites, do not like the Constitution which restrains their grasp for power. Many have accused Barack Obama of wanting to be a king. He laughs it off, and tries to pretend that his executive orders and executive notes and memorandums and signing statements are all perfectly constitutional, and adds, of course, that Bush did it.
Constitutional government is by its nature slow, designed to force new laws to be discussed and argued about, which will incline them to be better written and better law. But Congress, at some point got lazy, and felt it would speed things up if they just handed the administrative function in its entirety off to the assorted agencies of the government.
Thanks to Obama, we have a prime example of the failure of that whole endeavor in the Environmental Protection Agency. Good intentions come up against the nature of bureaucracy which is to grow and elaborate their mission and enhance their power. The Clean Water Act has long since accomplished it's intent, and the EPA is vigilantly attempting to extend its regulating power to the trickles that flow into the ditches that flow into the creeks that flow into the streams that eventually flow into the "navigable waters," the big rivers, that were originally given into their oversight. That's pure power grab.
Congress must take back the legislative power assigned to it, agencies must shrink drastically in size, authority, and reach. They are not allowed to make law, administer law, investigate and judge law and assign penalties. Things have gotten so far out of whack that most, if not all, agencies have their own swat teams.
Part of the problem is that judges don't know or understand the intricacies of the underlying facts of that which the agencies are attempting to regulate. Congress told the EPA that the navigable waters of the United States should be reasonably clean. The courts don't necessarily understand where the dividing line for "enough" should fall.
Even while adhering to Supreme Court precedents about administrative power, they "remain free—indeed, [the courts] are bound by duty—to expound the unlawfulness of such power." And at some point, Hamburger expects, the Supreme Court will have to man up and frankly state that what the Constitution says is the supreme law of the land.
And the people are going to have to let their representatives know that we care about the Constitution and our freedom, and are opposed to the administrative state.

The federal government is obsessed with teaching children to eat what they believe the children should eat. It seems to be Michelle Obama's childhood obesity thing. Kids come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and some get their growth early, and others late. Watch the kids come out of a junior high school at the end of a school day.
Here is an article from the Free Beacon titled "Feds Spend $149,890 on 'Mindful eating Intervention' for Third Graders" It is a study based on the techniques of a Zen teacher to try to "fight childhood obesity" and turn kids into "change agents" to teach their peers and their family how to eat healthy.
The project, entitled, "Foodie U: The Impact of a Pilot Mindful Eating Intervention on Food Behaviors Among Children and Families," will focus on low-income Hispanic children.
"The elementary school age is a crucial period for developing life-long dietary habits while parents still significantly influence their food intake," the grant said. "A school-based mindful eating intervention with parent involvement may positively influence children's food behaviors."
Mindfulness is a New Age meditation technique that traces its origins from Buddhism. People engaging in mindfulness are encouraged to focus on the present moment "non-judgmentally." A 60 Minutes segment on mindfulness showed Anderson Cooper using the practice by eating in silence very slowly, focusing on every bite.
The article adds that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spend $100.2 million on studies testing mindfulness meditation. The study will involve focus groups and include activities about enjoyment of flavor, texture and appearance, hunger and fullness awareness, food and mood, family sit-down meals, and a cultural feast.
They'll rope in the parents as well to teach them about "mindful eating practices, like beginning the meal with grace, playing the "how full is my stomach" game and telling children creative things like "broccoli is trees for dinosaurs to eat."(It's always broccoli, isn't it?) Cal State University students will serve as "nutrition educators" and "Mindful eating facilitators" for the children involved.
I find this offensive and outrageous. Am I out of line? I don't think it is the government's business. "The goal of the USDA project is to make children consume fewer "high palatable, high calorie foods," while also raising the "awareness and appreciation" of food. No cupcakes, you must like broccoli better. For class birthday celebrations they can have "broccoli parties."
There's actually a reason why chefs invented hollandaise sauce.

April 19, 1775, some 700 British troops arrived in Lexington and came upon 77 militiamen gathered on the town green. A British major yelled "Throw down your arms! Ye villains,ye rebels!" The vastly outnumbered militiamen had been ordered by their commander to disperse when a shot rang out. No one knows which side fired first, but several British volleys were unleashed before order could be restored. When the smoke cleared, eight militiamen lay dead and nine were wounded, while only one Redcoat was injured. The British troops marched on to Concord to search for rebel arms.
The "shot heard round the world" was fired at Concord Bridge, and nearly 2,000 militiamen harassed the British from behind trees, walls and houses as they returned to Boston, 18 miles away.
Students at Lexington High School are presumably conscious of local history, so the dance committee picked "American Pride" as the theme for their upcoming dance.
Students said the administration canceled an "American Pride" dance because it excluded other nationalities, despite the theme getting the most votes from the dance committee.
School officials defended their decision and added they are willing to tweak the theme in order for everyone to be included.
Well, there you go. Is anyone surprised that a public school would feel that "national pride" would be "more inclusive." Blah, blah, diverse demography of our community. The idea of America is that people from many nations and many different origins can come to America and become Americans. Supposedly, that is why they are here — to become Americans.
The results were predictable, a little publicity and the school caved, the "National Pride" Dance was rescheduled for late April and students can even wear red, white and blue if they so choose.
This needs more than a sigh, and a "there they go again" response. It is ubiquitous in our school systems. "Diversity" and "social justice" and "inclusiveness" are just a few of the words that indicate a mindset that inflicts the establishment that is supposed to be teaching our children reading with understanding, writing with clarity, mastering mathematics, understanding the basic sciences of biology, chemistry and physics, learning about history and government.
We know from international comparisons that our schools are doing a lousy job of that, and graduating kids who cannot master the basics, but they're well up on the Left's touchy-feely pap. We are losing our country, and losing the future because we are not alarmed enough. Most of us can't yank our kids out of school and afford a private school, or quit our jobs and homeschool. Are you ready to attend some school board meetings and raise hell? Did you actually know anything about the school board members you voted for? Do you read your kids' textbooks and talk to them about their assignments?
You will notice the little militiaman on the school sign. The kids get it, but the staff doesn't.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Wealth Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and he champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his motor-boats slid the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. (3.1)
All that wealth can't fill the hole in Gatsby's heart—but it probably makes it a little easier to bear. Also, notice the insect imagery? The men and girls like "moths"; the station wagon like a "brisk yellow bug"? What's up with that?
Quote #5
"See!" he cried triumphantly. "It's a bona-fide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. This fella's a regular Belasco. It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too - didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?" (3.49-50)
Gatsby can buy the things that rich people have, but he can't buy the education or experience. But from what the owl-eyed man says, it doesn't sound like anyone else is reading them, either. (See "Gatsby's Books" for an explanation.)
Quote #6
"I like to come," Lucille said. "I never care what I do, so I always have a good time. When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and address – inside of a week I got a package from Croirier's with a new evening gown in it."
"Did you keep it?" asked Jordan.
"Sure I did. I was going to wear it tonight, but it was too big in the bust and had to be altered. It was gas blue with lavender beads. Two hundred and sixty-five dollars." (3.23-25)
Lucille seems more impressed with the price of the gown than the gown itself. And notice how she says "I never care what I do": just one more example of the careless wealthy. Why would you care, when you know that your host will just replace whatever you break? (Unless, of course, it's your heart.)

The phone will have Android 2.3 with 3.2 inch touchscreen, 650 MHz processor and will be priced below Rs 7000.
Alcatel will launch its first Android phone with dual SIM at the end of March 2012 in India. The smartphone, to be called as Alcatel Blaze Duo OT-918, will feature a 3.2 inch LCD screen with an HVGA (320x480) resolution and a 3 megapixel rear camera with video recording capabilities.
"We will launch Alcatel Blaze Duo by the end of March, however we haven't decided on the price yet," MS Malik, managing director, Ice Mobile network systems, the distributor of Alcatel brand of phones in India, told The Mobile Indian.
The entry level handset will have Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, 650 MHz processor along with 256 MB RAM. It sports two SIM cards and both SIM cards go in the same slot - the first one goes face down and the second one goes face up.
Other features include 3G (7.2 Mbps HSDPA), Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi, A-GPS , micro USB 2.0, FM radio, micro SD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB) and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The spec of the phone is of an entry level Android and is expected to be priced below Rs 7,000. We hope that it is in the Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 bracket to be a credible competitor to Spice and Micromax products in this category.
Alcatel Pop Star is available for purchase exclusively from Gadgets 360.
The Android 5.1 based smartphone will be exclusively available via Flipkart.
Reportedly, the Alcatel OneTouch Flash 2 will be launched in India too via Flipkart.
The POP 8S, which offers 4G connectivity, is the first tablet of Alcatel in India.
It is the latest smartphone to be offered by Alcatel via Flipkart.
Alcatel OneTouch's FIRE C 2G has a 3.5 inch HVGA screen and 1 GHz processor.
Idol series smartphones will be priced above Rs 10,000 while the One Touch Hero will be sold in India for Rs 30,000.
The Chinese vendor though will have hard time selling the Idol X+ as there already few good octa core phones in the market in the same price range.
The Alcatel Idol X+ has a 5 inch full HD display, 2 GB RAM, and a 13.1 megapixel rear camera.
The 5 inch phone comes with Android 4.1 OS, 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording and 2500 mAH battery.

Skip to comments.Obama Calls 1st Meeting With Congressional Leaders on Shutdown
Posted on 10/02/2013 10:56:31 AM PDT by 11th_VAEdited on 10/02/2013 10:56:53 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]

He'll probably have pictures of their families, "nice family you have there, ...."
The man-child is going to try and berate everyone into submission. He's going to get up there, say "I won", and do a victory dance. He can't deal with opposition, and he cannot forge compromise.
He is a street thug, nothing more.
"..think the WW2 VETS hit a nerve yesterday and AGAIN TODAY...pictures of old guys in wheelchairs were NOT ALLOWED ON AN OPEN SIDEWALK...didnt make Odungo look good....he caved, no mounted police to enforce Odungos wishes this AM...tho the threat WAS THERE LAST NIGHT. *smiles*..THEY CAME ANYWAY..."
I agree! I think those vets save us yet again!
WE owe them so very much! I wish the Conservative talking heads would pay them some extra respect!
WWII vets know how to deal with fascist asshats.
He's not talking to the real leaders. Smell under the table deal already made.
This whole show is a dog and pony show. The idea that Obama will cave here is laughable.
Put stipulations on any negotiation. For example, due to the fact that Democrats have recently displayed contempt for the process of closed-door negotiations, all negotiations must be held with full television coverage. Things like that.
Make any demands reasonable, but make Obama have to work for any negotiation.
exactly, this is all about him now saying he tried to talk but the GOP won't budge and will hold the people ransom.
He knew by saying he would not talk would look bad thus he now meets but has nothing new to bring
Fox News just reported that Lee is "rethinking" the shutdown but then again that is FAUX News. I doubt it, but who knows?
Sen. Mike Lee not backing down from Obamacare fight despite shutdown impacts
By Lisa Riley Roche, Deseret News
Published: Tuesday, Oct. 1 2013 8:55 p.m. MDT
Updated: 3 hours ago
Notice the drapes are the same color Obama now uses.
My thought exactly - one branch of government does not "summon" another branch. If it was really posed that way, I think the answer should be, "KMA, you arrogant pr*ck".
>> Smell under the table deal already made.
That can be taken at least two ways,
Smell under the table; deal already made
[I] smell [that an] "under the table" deal [is] already made.
The funny thing is, they both work.
A 'Sunset provision' among many others. No more than a year. The Dims will run us all into the ground otherwise.
There should be a stake held over this thing's chest in case it turns out to be the bloodsucking vampire we believe it to be.
And no exemptions and no subsidies.
On second thought .... start pounding now!
Hope Boehner doesnt let him off the hook on the shutdown in exchange for a debt limit deal- which is IMHO what he wants today.
That is EXACTLY what I believe will happen. Obama will postpone Obamacare but Republicans MUST pass the debt limit increase. I PRAY that the Republicans tell him to pound sand.
I'd say the man is clinically insane. No telling what's going to happen.
the House responses should be: 'We also won, and we are doing what we were elected to do'
Why bother to meet with zer0, republicans. You know what zer0 stands for!
If someone could only paste a small Obama into this commercial ...
Ted Cruz should go with Boehner as a chaperone. Do not trust Boehner at all, as he always caves.
Word hath come from Olympus ....
Bull. He's doing it for the cameras.
That "snap" might be helped along if Boner could work up the nerve to mention a few key words like Beengazzi, F&F, impeachment, etc. There has to be a certain threat level directed at the Kenyan directly-—that's the only negotiating technique he will respond to——fear for his own skin.
Let's broadcast that meeting LIVE on C-Span!
Then let everyone see how "The One" tries to spin himself as the only "adult" in the room.
I think the Republicans should start the meeting by saying:
"For quality assurance purposes, this meeting is being recorded..."
Alternately, it may work to our advantage, if the House invites the networks to send big camera crews to broadcast the meeting. THEN, when "The One" tries to play-act as "Emperor Nero", EVERYONE will see it....
If the White House has a problem with permitting an "open" meeting to occur, then Republicans should delay holding the meeting until the question of just WHY the White House wants to make a "secret deal" with the House has been thoroughly discussed.
The only way he will bend is if Reggie Love steps into the room.
Affordable Care Act
Affordable Care Act
or bust.
Why waste your time talking to this guy?
Obama has blinked as I knew the weak sister would. He isn't even a bully...he's a pansy!!! But just blinking isn't even nearly enough for this evil human being trying to destroy our country and mock our WWII veterans. Boehner make Obama and the Democrats pay big time!!! No..."let's make nice"....broom the low life America hating Obama, his Obamabots and their Democrat stooges!!! Give them nothing until they agree to defund Obamacare...right now!!!
LOL !!! (I get it) LOL !!!
OK the commies want the House to hand them 100% of what they are demanding.
Then they will negotiate...
On what?
The democrats would have just gotten 100% of what they are demanding.
When the next "red line" is reached they will start whining about how "it was ok last time" and demand that the republicans do it again, give them 100% of what they want.
Just like the democrats always have.
The "He won't negotiate" talking point is doing damage. Zero and Harry are looking like the bad guys right now.
Senator Burr went to dinner with Obama and fell in love and couldn't stop playing tiddly winks him after that-I would guess many of the GOPers will be seduced if he throws a steak at them and a bottle of red.
Cocktail parties, a little choom- and BINGO we have a new love slave to harem with Chris Matthews.
Again, this is a BS meeting without Ted Cruz.
Of course. He is summoning them to make it appear he is reaching out.
So is this gonna help the GOP win more seats in the 2014 election? That is what I am hoping, that it energizes at least some of them to get out the vote and get the GOP more seats in the 2014 elections. Because I am unsure how popular this is gonna make them with independents and fence sitters.
The meeting is where Obama's Gestapo, er NSA, presents Repubs with compromising photos, whether true or photoshoped. Ala C.J.Roberts technique...180 your position or we take your kid...etc.
Then I guess it's nothing. Let Baraq veto funding for things people want like parks, guard and reserve pay, and a whole host of other things.
He's getting desperate.
He doesn't know how to proceed. Soaring rhetoric of a teleprompter is not working. Lacking all skills except the ability to deliver words others have written, he is drifting, astray
speaking of which, have you heard how many "millions" actually enrolled yesterday? Surely the LSM couldn't wait to report that humungous number today.
"...He doesnt know how to proceed. Soaring rhetoric of a teleprompter is not working. Lacking all skills except the ability to deliver words others have written, he is drifting, astray..."
Classic product of affirmative action.
I'm really hoping he just finally "loses it" in public for all the world to see. He's a jackazz.
In Boehner's case it's his favorite underage male prostitue whose bottom he buggers out at the Bohemian Grove moloch-fests.
Does anyone have a valid (reliable source) link to what the House has been proposing in their bills that they have sent to Congress, to fund government?
I put some figures into the calculator they have. The more you make, the higher the premiums. Some low income ranges would get a 75% subsidy on a 3K premium. That 3K premium is for the "bronze" plan.

The Royal Bahamas Defense Forces said the migrants were stopped near Ragged Island. They were detained Wednesday as authorities were searching for any more survivors or bodies from Monday's capsizing near Harvey Cays.
The military says about 30 migrants drowned when their boat struck ground and capsized in an area dotted with tiny islands, reefs, rocks and expanses of shallow water. Authorities have not been able to recover all the bodies.
The military said the 111 survivors of the capsizing and the 56 found near Ragged Island would be held in New Providence and repatriated. The Bahamas has detained more than 1,500 migrants this year, 90 percent from Haiti.
Haiti's ambassador to the Bahamas said the 111 Haitians were recovering from their ordeal clinging for hours to the vessel. Envoy Antonio Rodrique said the migrants were dehydrated and weak when they were rescued, and one passenger was pregnant.
The Haitian Embassy said it is waiting for a formal request from the Bahamian government to repatriate the survivors. The dead will likely be buried in the Bahamas.

St. Johns - Trapped on the second and third floors, many residents of the Autumn Ridge Apartments on Sunview Drive in St. Johns were forced to climb through their windows and onto ladders to escape the flames and smoke overnight.
The fire department rushed to the building at 2:30 in the morning, when a resident called to say the hallway was on fire and the building was filling with smoke. Police officers, firefighters, and other residents helped rescue 14 people still inside. Three residents had to be taken to the hospital for cuts and smoke inhalation.
Firefighters say they had the flames out in a few minutes, but it took hours to clear the smoke and mop up. They estimate the apartment building sustained over $25,000 in damage.
25 residents have sought alternative housing.
The fire investigator has not yet released a cause, but says arson is not suspected.

Titans rugby are pleased to announce a further three players from last years squad have made the commitment to stay at Clifton Lane for the 2012-13 Championship season.
Loosehead prop Jamie Kilbane, Hooker Ted Stagg and lock forward Neale Patrick have all penned deals to ensure they are part of the clubs push for a top-end finish to next season's Championship.
Kilbane's extension will see him enter his 8th season with the South Yorkshire side, having made his debut during the 2005-06 season. At just under six foot and approaching 18 stone, the amiable Irishman packs a huge punch and is considered by many to be one of the best technical scrimmagers in the Championship.
The former Belfast Harlequins and Clontarf prop has made 94 appearances for the Titans, with 84 of those being league appearances and it is expected that he will join an exclusive club of players that have hit the magic 100 mark next term.
Ted Stagg made a good impression with the Titans coaching staff during his first season and has been rewarded with a contract extension for next term. The former Bath Academy hooker made 21 appearances last season and his expected to develop further with the rigours that Championship rugby offers.
At 23 years of age Stagg has huge potential and a good pedigree and will no doubt push Dan Baines exceptionally hard for the number two jersey next term.
Also at 23 years of age, Neale Patrick showed plenty of glimpses of his huge potential in what was an interrupted injury-plagued first season at Clifton Lane. Despite his injury set-back, Patrick produced some powerful performances in the 'engine room' of the Titans formidable pack.
At 6' 8" and over 18 stone, Patrick represents the modern-day archetypical rugby player with his power and physicality. The former Boroughmuir prodigy made 15 appearances last season and will be eager to surpass that total next term. He's another Titan that is sure to improve during his second season of Championship rugby.

ExcerptFrom time to time, the Publisher and the Editor-in-Chief of MolBank are asked the question: "what is the purpose of publishing a journal like MolBank?" We think that the start of a new year is a good opportunity to make the ideas behind such a journal as clear as possible to our readers, authors and reviewers. In principle, the answer to this question might be boiled down to a single term: "usefulness". But allow me to go a little bit more into detail. [...]

I was reading through PZ Meyers' Pharyngula this afternoon and saw a post titled A taxonomy of dicks. Intrigued, and always willing to expand my knowledge of dickology, I read on. I clicked on a link that sent me to a blog named Science Digestive, written by Dr. Dean Burnett (PhD in neuroscience). The post he had written was A Beginner's Guide to Skeptical Dickery. It's worth a read, but what does it has to do with blasphemy?
Blasphemy, of course, is not limited to insulting the divine. I found this definition -
1.profane or contemptuous speech, writing, or action concerning God or anything held as divineYesterday's blasphemy explored the idea that Atheism was not all that awesome and that even the most ardent Atheist (Christopher Hitchens) can't guarantee that he will always be an Atheist. Although Atheism and Mr. Hitchens are not divine many people revere them. There is often a sense of emotional attachment that can have similarities with that of a worshipper to their god (I think I may have blasphemed again). A Beginner's Guide to Skeptical Dickery is blasphemous in the same vein. Here, Dr. Burnett satirizes (blasphemes against) the sceptic community. Looking at the comments from readers supports the theory that satire is hard to pull off and even the smartest of individuals will simply not get the joke.
2.any remark or action held to be irreverent or disrespectful
I think Dr. Burnett has done a great job.

Note: This is cross-posted on my professional blog at the Marshall Independent.
Ordinarily I don't get excited about shoes, as long as they cover my feet and are comfortable.
But these are really comfortable. I went up to the Mall of America and thought maybe I'd just pick up some shoes when I got there. There was a big shoe store having a sale, and I'm terribly sorry I've forgotten the name or I'd give them a plug too.
What I was looking for was a pair of street hikers. A long time ago I had a pair I loved with that name, though an Internet search seems to indicate it's not a brand but a kind of shoe. I need a shoe that's comfortable for walking on pavement, with off-road capability.
And they've got to look if not dressy then at least acceptable enough to walk into an office in.
That describes my dress requirements in general. I'm not like the late Robert Novak who always wore top-dollar suits to work because he might be called into a TV studio at any time. As a journalist in a rural agricultural area I have dress well enough to walk into someone's office for an interview – but practical enough to go walking across someone's field on a soggy day.
And of course when dressing for a Minnesota winter, warm trumps everything.
What I found was CAT – as in the Caterpillar tractor company. They're advertised as work boots/shoes but I found a pair of brown leather low tops that aren't out of place in an office casual environment.
Better still, they've got shoe laces that actually stay tied.
How did these durn nylon laces become standard? You know, the kind you have to tie in a bow, then double-knot and they still come untied?
These appear to be some kind of synthetic, but woven in such a way they actually keep a knot in them.
It's a lot easier to face the day wearing comfortable shoes whose laces stay tied.

THE NEW PWND! Rocked, originating in the New Jersey New York tristate area, is a verb which essentially means pwnd. Pwnd, as we all know, was becoming quite trite and abused as a word often. As a result, Rocked made its way into the vocabulary of revolutionary men who wanted to change pwnd to rocked. Now, on many mediasharing websites such as youtube, dailymotion, or metacafe, many people use the word Rocked in comments to describe some sort of pwnage.

New York, Other States Use High-Tech Engraved Licenses to Fight Fake IDs
Jason Mick
March 18, 2013 7:40 PM

"Teen drinking is very bad. / Yo I got a fake ID though." -- Rapper J Kwon
For the U.S., a country with relatively puritanical laws when it comes to young adults and drinking, the "fake ID" has long been a pop culture topic. But fake IDs may be a dying breed thanks to
new technologies
which New York and several other states are rolling out
I. Fake IDs Remain a Problem in an Era of Digital-Quality Fakes
New York is reportedly the most popular state to get a fake ID. Sites like
brazenly advertise "bulletproof" fake IDs; for example, that site brags, "Let's get straight to the point: you're watching this video because you're interested in getting a fake ID. Whether you just want to go to the clubs and have drinks with your friends or you want to start a whole new life complete with a new identity, Social Security number, bank accounts, a credit score and more."
State officials complain that aside from the everyday problem of underage drinking, officials complain that such fake IDs -- while potentially legal if not abused -- can be used to conduct
benefit fraud, try to evade child support payments
, or even plot terrorism.
Online sellers use digital scanning and printing technology to sell fake IDs.
J. David Sampson, executive deputy commissioner of the State
Department of Motor Vehicles
The New York Times
an interview
, "We see the New York driver's license as the first line of defense."
New York has already successfully employed high-tech strategies such as
facial recognition
to investigate 13,000 cases of identity fraud over the last three years, resulting in around 2,500 arrests, according to a recent release from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
II. The Switch to Grayscale Portraits, Polycarbonate
The state is prepared to take things even a step farther, though. It's joining just a handful of states to have an engraved grayscale portrait as a replacement to the traditional color photograph. Further, the license will be printed/engraved on rigid polycarbonate plastic, versus bendable papers/plastics used in the old license.
Additionally, 30 other security features -- including holograms, water marks, fine lines, variable patterns, micro-lettering -- aim to stop would-be counterfeiters.
The new licenses will be produced by CBN Secure Technologies Inc., a United States subsidiary of the
Canadian Bank Note Company
, which scored an eight-year $88.5M USD contract. The new IDs will cost around $1 a piece, and will take longer to produce than traditional licenses, although the state promises the waiting period for customers will remain the same.

But Owen McShane, director of investigations at the New York DMV says that difficult process is a good thing. He comments, "It's hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars for an inscriber. It's not something a college student is going to be able to go out and get."
New York is not alone; Maryland is switching to polycarbonate and North Carolina will go with grayscale portraits and polycarbonate, starting in late 2013 or early 2014.
Not everyone is happy about the new licenses. In some states traditional bendable-style license-makers like
De La Rue North America
are suing or filing complaints over lost contracts. De La Rue complains in a lawsuit against the state of New York that CBN's winning bid was much higher and that it was not informed of the polycarbonate preference. It argues that polycarbonate is actually less secure, as sheets of unengraved IDs could be stolen more easily and used in convincing fakes.
III Can't Fight the Future
But De Lar Rue and other traditionalists seem to be fighting the drumbeat of progress.
The switch to grayscale portrait, polycarbonate IDs arguably began with the
U.S. Department of State
, who switched to the format in 2008 for its passport cards, which allow for easier travel across national borders in local North American nations.
The maker of the old bendable licenses [pictured] is suing the winning contractor and state.
[Image Source: Dooby Brain]
A year later in 2009 the
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
embraced the design, spicing it up with raised lettering, a ghost image and nineteen other unspoken identifiers. DMV spokeswoman Pam Goheen brags that the ID is "perhaps the most secure state-issued ID in the nation."
It appears whether you're an unhappy traditional license-maker, or an unhappy underage drinker; high-tech IDs are on the rise and here to stay. Expect more states to join New York, Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland in coming months and years.

RE: Forget drinking
Are you going off the official unemployment numbers? How's the labor force participation rate where you live? That's the number that matters because unemployment isn't figured by who doesn't have a job, but rather by who's collecting unemployment benefits. When those run out (or when someone simply stops applying for them), the person is no longer counted as unemployed, whether they have a job or not!
You have to cut through the BS when you hear these numbers. Sequestration is another one. Let me give you an analogy for sequestration. Suppose I spent $500 last month on food, and I had planned on spending $501 this month. Instead, I'm going to have to voilently slash my food budget down to a mere $500.07!!! If I can only spend 7 cents more than last month on food (instead of the planned 1 whole dollar), well, I'll have to cut all kind of essentials from my diet, right? Right? That's what people in Washington are telling me, so it must be true.

The C.O.D. Roadrunners put themselves in prime position for at least a share of the conference championship with a win over traditional power Antelope Valley on Wednesday. The Roadrunners will next play at Antelope Valley in Lancaster on Monday... in hopes of earning what some have called the "impossible" win. The Marauders have not lost a conference game at home in 12 years.
