Lunch at The Press Club
Chef, restaurateur and Masterchef judge George Calombaris' restaurant The Press Club is the pinnacle of class – an intimate, 32-seater restaurant serving modern Greek at a devilishly affordable price. And if you're deliberating when the perfect moment to enjoy the deliciousness of this five star restaurant would be, we're recommending give lunch a try. Open Monday through to Saturday from midday to 3pm, lunch time at The Press Club should be on every Melbournian foodie's bucket list. Grab a quick lunch from the $40 express set menu which includes two courses and a glass of Hellenic wine, or select from tasting menus which start from two courses at $35pp, three courses at $45pp or four courses at $60pp. Better yet, visit on a Saturday and opt for the Saturday lunch tasting menu which treats you to six courses for just $90pp. Minimalist in size but enormous in flavour, The Press Club high end Greek food at it's very best.
Bev Killick: Killick Bev
Seeing Bev Killick perform her stand-up is an experience. As she recounts stories of her past (anything from stories of life as the opening act of Puppetry of the Penis to being a 'crummy mummy') in her no-holds-barred style, you realise that there's no limit to how far she'll go to deliver increasingly outrageous, side-splittingly hilarious comedy. In her 15-year career, Killick has developed a formidable reputation as an incredibly relatable, self-effacing and bold comic. In addition to her on-stage antics, Killick has also featured on Kath and Kim as well as numerous comedy and panel shows. She'll be performing her new show, Killick Bev for just two nights at Melbourne Fringe, so book now.
Jurassic World: The Exhibition
UPDATE: It's your last chance to book tickets to the Melbourne Museum's incredible Jurassic World: The Exhibition. Whether you're a grown-up dino fan (who isn't?) or you're looking for a September school holiday highlight, make sure you visit the website and grab your passport to Isla Nublar now. There is a moment as you're walking through the lush prehistoric forests of Jurassic World where you come across a huge, hollowed-out log. You step inside, and suddenly you hear a strange rumbling noise. Light filters through cracks in the log and, just for a moment, you see something moving. Was that scaly reptilian skin? A claw? An eye? Then, it dawns on you: the fences have been breached, and something big is out there. "It should feel like it would be able to eat you, or nuzzle up to you if it's a friendlier dinosaur!" says Philip Millar, laughing. Millar is the associate creative director of Creature Technology, the Melbourne-based company behind the animatronic dinosaurs that will star in the Melbourne Museum's blockbuster exhibition. His puppeteering expertise makes him a core member of the Creature Technology crew, who are widely considered to be at the forefront of naturalistic animatronics. Their credits include the Walking with Dinosaurs and How to Train Your Dragon arena spectaculars and the titular role in 2013's musical version of King Kong. They have teamed up with Universal Pictures, Museum Victoria and US design group Imagine Exhibitions Inc to place highly realist
Sunday Shake
There's no better way to farewell the weekend than parting with a Sunday sesh. And if there's one place to kick on for Sunday Funday, especially when springtime hits, it's at Bimbo's Sunday Shake. Starting in September, every Sunday from 10am, Bimbo's opens its doors for Fitzroy's ultimate daytime party. With DJs playing on the rooftop courtyard as well as downstairs below the aeroplane, there's sure to be a tune that you can boogy down to. DJs will be rotating monthly and this September will welcome Cee Cee Babcock, Natalie Turner, Hoops, J Schollo, Jamie Vale, Luke Vecchio, Morning Maxwell, Mose, Ezra Harvey, Cassettes for Kids, Awesome Wales, Jack Love and Matt Radovich. As per usual $4 gourmet pizzas will be on offer as well as drinks galore – we're talking beer, wine and of course, Bimbo's special flavour-infused vodkas. Oh, and come hungry because a new breakfast menu will also be on offer, starting September 4. So whether you're looking for a morning party to continue the antics from Saturday night or you're looking for a place to relax and catch up with friends, Bimbo's has got your Sunday sorted.

Panel Count Data Analysis of Determinants of Cigarette Smoking: Evidence from British Household Panel Survey, 2001-2009

GRP International Journal of Business and Economics, Vol 1, No 1, pp 10-23
Count Datasets contain relatively larger number of realizations of nonnegative integer-valued random variable. The nature necessitates application of regression models based on binomial probability distributions including Poisson, Zero-Inflated Poisson or Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial distributions to infer valid predictions. This paper will use micro-dataset from the British Household Panel Survey (Abbreviated and Well-known as BHPS) to identify factors determining the participation decisions to smoke at the individual level. It is evident from the results that the educated and married person's participation to smoke is lower than the participation of divorced and separated individuals. Congruent participation to smoke of unemployed or newly employed is higher. The empirical results persuade a more details investigation in a comparable theme to contribute to scarcity of research in health economics to determine causal factors of smoking and formulate more effective health policies.

Brianna stopped by the Fenton Street Market this past Saturday, and I'm so glad she tried on (and went home with) this cropped jacket.
I had it pegged for a stylish cover to a semi-formal ensemble—maybe over a little black dress, you know? But when Brianna slipped the jacket on over her crocheted tank, it was a perfect match for her current outfit. She's dressed up and down at the same time—great hoop earrings, ladylike jacket, and super-comfy cuffed jean shorts. If it wasn't so darned hot out that day, I would have expected her to waltz off in the whole set.
Just a reminder that your dress code is sometimes meant to be violated!

I'm developing a plugin to facilitate single sign-on between wordpress and my web app. I'm using cookie based authentication, wherein I set encrypted cookies in my web app. The wordpress plugin may decrypt the cookies to detect the username and do login automatically. If the cookies are not present, the user will be redirected to web app login form.
I use authenticate filter hook for sso. It works fine. I've an exception to handle here. I should allow manual login for few users, like administrators. I may pass "manuallogin=true" parameter to wp-login.php script. But then, it authenticates the user using the cookie, or redirect the user to my web app if cookies are not present, and does login automatically.
Can you please give me an hint on how to permit "manuallogin" for few users? I should skip the sso part, if the "manuallogin" parameter is passed to wp-login.php script. I tried adding login_form action hook and draw login form if the parameter exists, but it doesn't seem to work, or i'm not doing it the right way.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Good SSD for the price
I wanted to move all my mp3 music off my computer and onto an external hard drive. After reading the reviews for hard drives on Amazon I had to wonder why on earth anyone would even consider buying one. There was complaint after complaint about reliability, compatibility, and customer support. Looking around some more I came across this little gem. It couldn't be simpler. Take it out of the box and connect it to your computer with a USB cable. That's all there is to it. It's about the size of an iPhone and there's no moving parts. I loaded over 7000 songs ripped at a bitrate of 192Kbps and didn't even use half its capacity. Even using USB 2.0 it's fast enough for my needs but if I ever upgrade my computer it will be even faster with its USB 3.0 capability. I intend to pair it up with an Asus Oplay media player so I can listen to my music without having to fire up the computer. I'm essentially going to build my own iPod on steroids for home use. If you need external storage do yourself a favor, spring for a few more bucks and go solid state.

I used Turbotax and filed for my return. One of the options was to get a netspend card.
They said I would get my card in the mail
I never received such a card.
I also got an alert saying my balance was transferred to the card - of significantly less than what my tax return was.
Finally I called the company. Someone with an accent answered, I immediately became suspicious. I asked where the call was taking place, and the woman refused to answer. She would only say "HQ is in Austin, Texas". After 10 minutes of insisting where she was from, she hung on me.
I called back immediately, the next rep had no problem telling me she was from the Philippines. However, when I promptly asked to speak to a supervisor, she refused. She wanted to know my card number, and I didn't have one. She then hung up on me.
Again, I called back, and I got a third representative. I should note that the women's voices sounded exactly the same, I suspected each time I spoke to the sane person. I asked, and she denied this. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and they said that a supervisor is not available. Then they asked for my social security number.
That was when I became aware that someone outside the US had my social security number and could probably steal my identity from this.
I refused to give my number. They kept telling me there is no supervisor and hanging up on me, or transferring me and having me continuously on hold. They said there is no one in the United States to talk to. I continued these calls to the next day. One representative tried to tell me he was in the US, in Texas. I said "you are lying to me, I can her your accent". Then he said, "ok I will transfer you to someone in the US". He then hung up on me.

Netspend Scam: Innapropriate and Illegal
AUTHOR: tlsafir - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 07, 2013POSTED: Thursday, March 07, 2013
Netspend should not have my social security number to begin with. You don't need to reprimand any customer service employees because they are doing exactly what you have trained them to do. That is, avoid admitting that this operation is begin run overseas, and to keep clients from talking to anyone who can be held responsible and accountable for the theft and identity stealing.
This is a scam. I do not want your help. I do not want your card. I want all of my tax return back, every single penny of my 238 dollars, and I want my personal information permanently removed from your database. And I want your overseas operation shut down, and I want to speak to someone in the united states who is responsible for this scam.
So help me god, if anyone files a lawsuit, I will testify and take great pleasure in bringing you to justice.

Volume 80. Embankments on Organic Soils
1st Edition
- Electronic ISBN 9780080530819
- Print ISBN 9780444882738
The most troublesome of soft soils are organic soils due mainly to their high compressibility (much higher than in mineral soils), and also their very low shear strength. The large diversity of organic soils with respect to their origin as well as their properties make classification, testing, and engineering prediction of behaviour, very difficult. For this reason, engineers try, in general, to avoid constructing on deep layers of organic soils. If forced, by necessity, to do so, they manage with light structures e.g. embankments or low buildings.
The authors of this book have been involved in a joint research project on the testing of embankments on organic soils. This was carried out in the North-Western part of Poland by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute and the Department of Geotechnics of Warsaw Agricultural University.
The results of their research is presented in this new book and provides a valuable insight into this growing area in the field of engineering geology.

ACTUAL fees: 1.8% plus another 2.6 %, fees on top of it! Plus a $2.00 fee for USING THE SERVICE!!!
When I decide to cancel account, THEN they are all about the 3 year "contract" I never signed. According to them, the "Welcome Letter" I received more than a month after the service was to have started equals a "contract".
They are trying to mask their DECEPTIVE PRACTICES by saying "the employee who told you those things has been corrected, so additonal merchants won't be upset like you."

GP called up and was pretty upset with the billing statement. Our representative went over the statement with her and offered a $35 refund as a goodwill credit. It was explained that her next bill probably would have more transactions which would make things look different and she should call in next month to discuss what her particular transactions were. We would continue to try and accommodate her.
Customer Service was ready to assist in an account review and our records do not show that GP called in after that.
KP submitted a written request to cancel the account on 3/25/08 and it was cancelled 3/26/08.

I worked for one of these companies-they have the most complicated contracts I've encountered

Everything was kept pretty secretive, despite my being there and repeatedly asking what was the norm for a certain processing, so I could make the proposals myself, I was never given access to that info. After awhile, I could spot on my own where they were using an over the average rate, but still everything had to go thru a manager who had all the information, and would usually make the callback/proposal, so I did not even get the chance to see if my proposal was a good and honestly researched proposal. I was concerned because the proposal was going back in my name. If the manager made the sale I got credit for it, though I did not know whether, or not I did good for the potential customer.
There is little regulation to my knowledge of this industry. Otherwise, I'm sure since during slow times, they would dig out old files. Files they were not able to close, maybe three years ago or more, had a dialogue with a business owner, but didn't make the conversion to that company. To my horror, sometimes when going thru those old files, I would notice our company had, and was contacting the company under a different name. Another words the co. I was working for had been in business under a different name a few years back, or had aka, dba names, so they could re-contact old, near sales and take another swing at converting them to their devices, their processing contract. When considering switching, or purchasing a processor, you'll have to contact at least three, maybe four, processors to find out the norms for each processing category. Also, there are a but a few, just a few that when I was working in this industry, that the manager would not try to compete with, they were the lowest you could be at in all processing categories. Remember the game is "confusement" a great rate in one, or two categories, but to make it profitable, one of the rates has to be above the norm.

WC v 2.0.12
I haven't found this issue already posted in these forums.
Click on WooCommerce, Settings, Tax tab, Standard option.
I have set up sales tax for the 5 states that require us to collect tax.
I used zip code ranges for Florida because they require me to do so.
This has been set up for many months.
I had an order July 18, 2013 that is shipped to Florida. The customer entered a zip +4 and the system did not charge them any sales tax even though their zip code falls within the ranges listed.
I believe this is the first time a customer entered a +4 zip code and may be why the system failed to charge them tax.
I'd prefer a maximum 5 digits for the zip code field during checkout but I can't afford a tweak.
Please fix this immediately. This shouldn't happen.

Skip to comments.Bush Chooses Miers for Supreme Court
Posted on 10/03/2005 7:10:27 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON - President Bush on Monday nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, reaching into his loyal inner circle for another pick that could reshape the nation's judiciary for years to come.
"She has devoted her life to the rule of law and the cause of justice," Bush said as his first Supreme Court pick, Chief Justice John Roberts, took the bench for the first time just a few blocks from the White House. "She will be an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court of the United States."
If confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, Miers, 60, would join Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second woman on the nation's highest court and the third to serve there. Miers, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association.
Miers, whom Bush called a trailblazer for women in the legal profession, said she was humbled by the nod.
"If confirmed, I recognize I will have a tremendous responsibility to keep our judicial system strong and to help insure the court meets their obligations to strictly apply the laws and Constitution," she said.
Democratic and Republican special interests groups had been braced for a political brawl over the pick, but they may not get it. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had urged the president to consider Miers, according to several officials familiar with Bush's consultations with Congress.
Miers has no judicial record, which may complicate any Democratic attempts to block her nomination. It is impossible to predict whether Miers and Roberts will shift the court to the right. She would replace O'Connor, a critical swing vote on the court who helped uphold the right to abortion and affirmative action. Rehnquist, the late chief justice being replaced by Roberts, was a consistent conservative vote.
"We know even less about Harriet Miers than we did about John Roberts and because this is the critical swing seat on the court, Americans will need to know a lot more about Mier's judicial philosophy and legal background before any vote for confirmation," said Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said: "With this selection, the president has chosen another outstanding nominee to sit on our nations highest court. Ms. Miers is honest and hard working and understands the importance of judicial restraint and the limited role of a judge to interpret the law and not legislate from the bench."
Bush, his approval rating falling in recent months, had been under intense pressure to nominate a woman or a minority.
Miers had helped push Roberts' nomination through the Senate, and Bush said that "she will strictly interpret our Constitution and laws. She will not legislate from the bench." Conservatives apparently agreed.
Initial reaction from conservatives was positive.
"She has been a forceful advocate of conservative legal principles and judicial restraint throughout her career," said Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society.
"Harriet Miers is a top-notch lawyer who understands the limited role that judges play in our society," said Noel Francisco, former assistant White House counsel and deputy assistant attorney general during the Bush administration.
The president offered the job to Miers Sunday night over dinner in the residence. He met with Miers on four occasions during the past couple weeks, officials said.
Rehnquist, whose death paved way for Roberts' nomination, had not served as a judge before President Nixon put him on the Supreme Court. Nineteen other justices previously had never served as judges before getting on the high court.
According to the White House, 10 of the 34 Justices appointed since 1933, including Rehnquist and the late Justice Byron White, were appointed from positions within the president's administration.
"Having never served as a judge, Ms. Miers has no `paper trail' of judicial opinions, and prospective opponents thus will have a hard time identifying positions to protest or complain about," said Supreme Court historian David Garrow. "What's more, Ms. Miers' professional record as an attorney in Texas is undeniably one of significant achievement and accomplishment, and her proponents will be able to present her as a female trail blazer whose life-record is at least arguably comparable to that of Justice O'Connor."
Known for thoroughness and her low-profile, Miers is one of the first staff members to arrive at the White House in the morning and among the last to leave.
When Bush named her White House counsel in November 2004, the president described Miers as a lawyer with keen judgment and discerning intellect "a trusted adviser on whom I have long relied for straightforward advice."
He also joked of Miers, "When it comes to a cross-examination, she can fillet better than Mrs. Paul."
With no record, liberals say the White House should be prepared for Miers to be peppered with questions during her Senate confirmation.
"Choosing somebody who is not a judge would put that much more of a premium on straight answers to questions because there would be that much less for senators and the public to go on when looking at such a nominee's judicial philosophy," says Elliot Mincberg, counsel with the liberal People for the American Way.
Formerly Bush's personal lawyer in Texas, Miers came with the president to the White House as his staff secretary, the person in charge of all the paperwork that crosses the Oval Office desk. Miers was promoted to deputy chief of staff in June 2003.
As an attorney in Dallas, Miers became president in 1996 of Locke Purnell, Rain & Harrell a firm with more than 200 lawyers where she worked starting in 1972. After it merged a few years later, she became co-manager of Locke Liddell & Sapp.
When Bush was governor of Texas, she represented him in a case involving a fishing house. In 1995, he appointed her to a six-year term on the Texas Lottery Commission. She also served as a member-at-large on the Dallas City Council and in 1992 became the first woman president of the Texas State Bar.
He selected her, geeesshh...

This woman is, at best, a political hack, at worst, a Democrat operative.
This is terrible news.
Stabbed in the back, again.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had urged the president to consider Miers, according to several officials familiar with Bush's consultations with Congress.
Hmmm. Never good when poor Dingy Harry is not unhappy...
She looks.........cadaverous.
Well, a caller on NPR was very disturbed at the nomination. She didn't like the fact that the President said that Miers had a strong sense of right and wrong. Too much morality, she said. These people are nuts.
Tammy Bruce on FOX news just said that she's afraid that Bush has morphed into a "Jimmy Carter". Ouch!

W could nominate Noam Chomsky and the left would still find something to b*tch about.
What does he base this on?
If she's confirmed, then
will all good Republicans
get winning numbers?!
That is complete nonsense. The Federalist Society (which knows more of these matters than you) is supportive.
You can bet he has more substantial reasons than the Chronic Antis here who just pull their opinions outta their A$$es when it is not one of their favorites.
Supposedly, she was instrumental in choosing people for Bush to nominate to the various courts, including Owen, Brown, Roberts, etc. If this is the case, she's made good solid picks and may be a good solid pick herself. We'll see.
I'll only be convinced when I see her answers at the hearings, as I was with Roberts.
Nice comment, very helpful...
Is that you Planned Parenthood? Or are you just aping Nan Aron?
If people aren't happy with the nomination, that's fine... it would be nice if people could express it without sounding like they belong in an insane asylum, though.
This is third world cronyism. The lady has never even been a judge.
He probably knows her.
By the way, Miers has made cash contributions to Lloyd Benson, Al Gore, and the DNC. Maybe you need to spend less time drinking the White House Kool-aid and more time doing research.
Now there's a good reason to oppose someone - she's isn't pretty enough.
New title , same article
Bush Chooses Miers for Supreme Court
Bush Taps Harriet Miers for High Court
I guess Chuckie Schumer is a conservative now.
This might have slightly nudged the court to the right. If anything, it might be dead center where it was before.
The 3rd pick will be the tie-break.
If this woman is to the right of O'Connor, then the Pres. has played smart politics.
Now we need Stevens to take a dive for the team.
Try the article you are commenting on! You are just making things up as you go along, obviously, knowing nothing about the subject you are commenting on.
I'm starting to change my mind - if the liars and idiots are against her like this she must be a good nominee.
You would be just as likely in having DU sound like a board of freedom and light.
And he could nominate someone to the right of Rush Limbaugh and people on the right would find something to b*tch about. Since political pundits seem to get almost nothing right in either long term predictions or short term analysis, I've long since ignored anything they say. And since loudmouths on the left and the right seem to be only happy when they are competing to see who can describe the darkest doom and gloom, I can happily ignore them too. Frankly, I trust the President. His cabinet indicates his ability to judge character. Men like Rumsfeld and Cheney and women like Rice and Hughes tell me more about his insight than chronic whiners on the T.V. and internet.
Yes, just now logging on, and seeing a lot of anti's. I know practically nothing about this woman, but hoping to read more than just these anti- comments that don't list reasons why they're anti. One suspects there's a bit of bandwagon-ism here.
Stabbed in the back? more like right in the gut.
The handwriting is on the wall.
The Repubican Party leadership no longer reflects the views of its constituency, while the Democrat Pary does.
Conservatives need to leave the Republican Party to people like Chaffee, Snowe, McCain et al and reconstituent themselves as new political force which more clearly represents an anti-liberal, pro-traditional value, pro-strict constructionist and original intent political philosophy.
There was a quotation from a spokesman on another thread.
I am not terribly concerned about contributions almost twenty years ago. Bush I was not a great favorite with many conservatives in any case so not supporting him shouldn't bother you too much.
Since the President knows far more about her than you or Katie Couric I think I will go with him instead of you two.
There is no requirement that a USSC Justice needs to have been a judge.
James Wilson, the first USSC Justice, had no prior judicial experience. There have been many justices who were not judges. It's a good thing in my book, not a bad thing.
I find it more disturbing that we even have to have this debate upon whether we like the candidate. There are plenty of obvious, brilliant, well qualified and EXPERIENCED candidates. Why are we given a stealth candidate, and we get a maybe good=maybe bad. Dissapointing.
"...the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association"
... and then as a chair of TX Lottery....
HEY - works for me !
Rehnquist was never a judge either, as have a number of SCOTUS members.
You know zippo, nada, about this subject, but commenting anyway like you are an expert.
So if this prediction turns out to be true, what will be the rationalization this time? After all, we were told over and over again that that the Roberts nomination was "strategery" to get someone more solid next time and make the Democrats look extremist in their reaction to whoever that might be. So when that fails to happen, then what will be the Ofiicial Party Line?
David Frum worked with Harriet Miers. He says:
She's a lovely person: intelligent, honest, capable, loyal, discreet, dedicated ... I could pile on the praise all morning. But there is no reason at all to believe either that she is a legal conservative or - and more importantly - that she has the spine and steel necessary to resist the pressures that constantly bend the American legal system toward the left.
I am not saying that she is not a legal conservative. I am not saying that she is not steely. I am saying only that there is no good reason to believe either of these things. Not even her closest associates on the job have no good reason to believe either of these things. In other words, we are being asked by this president to take this appointment purely on trust, without any independent reason to support it. And that is not a request conservatives can safely grant.
Not quite sure what you are saying.
But if anyone believed the President was going to deliberately provoke a fight with the RATs over this they have apparently been asleep for the last five years. It is not his style to wade into avoidable fights with RATs.
Our major struggle is against the enemy within, the Treason Media.
Stevens isn't immortal, he's ready to move on,,
This pick may, at best, keep us close to the center.
I agree, look ahead to the 3rd and 4th picks.
The left took years to build a court that could wreak its havoc on this nation, it will take many to undo their damage.
I also have concerns about a number of issues facing this antion and how the President's administration is or refuses to deal with a couple key items, but we are at war.
We are Americans and we can either focus on what needs to get done or run around like a flock of chickens with our heads cut off.
I prefer the former. I see enough of the latter portrayed in and by the MSM and the left.
"Conservatives need to leave the Republican Party to people like Chaffee, Snowe, McCain (You can now add Bush to that list) et al and reconstituent themselves as new political force which more clearly represents an anti-liberal, pro-traditional value, pro-strict constructionist and original intent political philosophy."
No they don't. Conservatives just need to take back the Republican party from these betrayers.
Don't know if I oppose her.
You got references for this?
Since English isn't apparently your first language, I'll give you a pass on this one. A member of the Federalist Society made a comment. By your logic, you are an official White House spokesman and everything you say should be taken as the official position of the White House. Right. Sure. Whatever.
You are just making things up as you go along...
I see. Do you have some evidence of that, or are you just barking?
...if the liars and idiots are against her like this she must be a good nominee.
And if the Bush lemmings are starting to mindlessly support her like this, I am even more doubtful than before.

Letters: Red Cross
In response to "Red Cross' 'fraud' after Sandy" (Opinion, Dec. 1): It is about time someone had the courage to spell out the truth regarding fundraising and response in disasters by the Red Cross. Bravo to James Brennan, who has not only done his homework, but organized an efficient response to his Rockaway neighbors; if only all would respond in kind.

San Diego, CA 92112-0191.
I have been very disappointed that the news media, and government officials have continually pushed the Red Cross to the forefront when any disaster happens. Why have we not been encouraged to donate to the Salvation Army or any number of organizations who have a long history of prompt and efficient response to help their fellow men/women, etc.
It is about time the American people begin to take a good hard look at what is going on in our country and who is being best served. Certainly it is not those of us who work hard to meet our obligations and then send our hard earned money to some organization that doesn't do its job. – Jim Forgione, San Diego
James Brennan's accusation of the Red Cross committing fraud based solely on the fact neither he or any of his friends have seen any money is the equivalent of my going into one of his restaurants, getting poor service from a waiter and then declaring that they are stealing money and are corrupt.
Is there any proof to substantiate his claim other than he doesn't know where the money went? – Grace Watson, San Diego
After reading "Red Cross' 'fraud' after Sandy" (Opinion, Dec. 1), I'm reminded of a quote by Omar N. Bradley, general of the Army: "Amateurs talk about strategy. Professionals talk about logistics."
It would seem our citizens would be best served in an emergency such as Katrina and Sandy by deploying the National Guard and Army Reserve in conjunction with the Coast Guard. These people have extensive experience moving thousands of tons of supplies, equipment and manpower on a massive scale in a very short period of time. And they have one thing the Red Cross will never have: immediate accountability. – Mark J. Leonard, Rancho Bernardo
We totally agree with the article written by James Brennan. In the 2003 fire that devastated so many, we gave quite generously to the Red Cross to help our fellow San Diegans put their lives back together. We thought the Red Cross was a wonderful, well-known, charitable organization that would help everyone.
As it turned out (in hindsight), very little of the monies that were collected were actually distributed in the proper manner. This fund was investigated after the fact and it was never revealed what happened to the funds. Shortly thereafter, the CEO of the organization was fired for failing to oversee the funds and distribute them properly. Since that time, we do not trust this organization to do what they claim.
We now choose to donate to other organizations, or directly to the people in need such as what we did during the Katrina crisis. – Sheri Fisher & Robert Stalker, Scripps Ranch
The "fraud" committed by the Red Cross described by Mr. Brennan is only the latest that has been exposed. Every few years exorbitant salaries are described and misuse of directed contributions are found. Promises are made but nothing is ever done to change this.
As far back as the 1950s the reputation of the Red Cross was brought into question. It was reported that soldiers in need would be charged for services while the Salvation Army provided the same services for free.
The only way to eliminate this from happening again is to starve this organization. If you feel a need to make a contribution please do a search and find an organization worthy of your charity. I suggest the Salvation Army is one such organization. – Jim Reid, San Diego
I don't know anything about the Enlightened Hospitality Group that Mr. Brennan heads, and he obviously knows nothing about Red Cross disaster work.
The Red Cross does not rebuild or hand out money. It provides shelter, food, clothing, etc. Emergency aid. It does this directly or as a partner with other organizations or volunteers. The donated money is not expended as stimulus funds. There are strict guidelines as to the expenditures. As a rule, Red Cross does not do repair work.
There will certainly be many ongoing needs to be met for months, and the Red Cross will be there to do its part.
I don't know the extent of Mr. Brennan's association with the Red Cross. I have opened shelters for floods on the Mississippi; Grand Forks, N.D.; and Northern California; fires in New Mexico; and earthquakes in Los Angeles. I have driven the Red Cross vehicle on numerous occasions during disasters and all the above.
I can't provide an audit, but surely this can tell Mr. Brennan where Red Cross money goes, and I can assure readers, from my personal experience of over 25 years, the donated money is well-spent.
It should also be noted the so-called normal expenditures for the apartment fires and losses will continue, and the Red Cross will be there. – Harry E. Dickinson, Oceanside

As always you deal in half facts, conjecure and obfuscation, google Waters Flowing Eastward for the real truth, it's a book in pdf by Rev. Denis Fahey written in the 30's that names the top echelon of the Bolshevik takeover. Here's the pertinent chapter: On the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet the following are all Jews: N. Shvernik, Chairman; A. F. Gorkin, Secretary; A. M. Kirchenstein, Deputy Chairman; Ilya Ehrenberg; S. V. Kaftanov (5 out of 12).
On the Council of Ministers—L. M. Kaganovich, L. P. Beria, while of the remaining 10 three members are married to Jewesses—Stalin, Voroshilov and Molotov.
On the Politbureau of the Central Committee all the above are included with only four others. And there is a Jew at the head of every one of the following Ministries:—Agricultural Stocks, Building Industry, Food and Material Reserves, Heavy Industry Construction. The Information Services are under the control of the Jew S. Lozovsky. The Jewish control of Russia was even more apparent immediately after the Communist Revolution when the Jew content of the Government became close on 90%, from having been none under the Tzardom.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin just joined the impeach Obama crowd. Thats bad news for the GOP.
Posted on 07/08/2014 1:36:07 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Sarah Palin on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of Republicans calling for the impeachment of President Obama, writing in a Breitbart op-ed that the influx of young illegal immigrants over the southern border "is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas.' "
Mixed/careless metaphors aside, this is nothing but bad news for Republicans especially four months until the 2014 election.
Palin is hardly the first GOP politician to raise the issue of impeachment over the past couple years. Others include Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Reps. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.), Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.), Michael Burgess (R-Tex.), Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), former congressmen Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and Allen West (R-Fla.), and the South Dakota Republican Party. Not all of these folks called for Obama's impeachment directly, but all of them suggested that it is or should be on the table.
What none of these folks have, though, is a national following. That's where Palin comes in. She's the first Republican of any significant national stature to make this call. And she's the kind of figure who could potentially recruit others to the cause people who will want to be heard. Palin surely doesn't carry the kind of weight she once did in the GOP, but she still has a significant tea party following and is highly popular among the conservative base....

"Ahhhh! Not Palin!"
- DC Scum
Sarah is smarter than your president WaPo.
I'm not kidding.
She'd whip his wimpy little *ss on virtually anything they'd compete in...athletic, intellect, and most importantly, moral.
Put that in your crack pot and smoke it.
That's good news for the Tea Party.
The MSM can never just stop can they?
It's a stupid idea.
Firstly, trying it would go no where. Not with Dingy Harry running the Senate.
Secondly, it is going to screw any chance of actually taking the Senate. The sympathy vote is a powerful thing.
Finally, since the Worm pretty much ignores the law, if by some miracle he was impeached, what would force him to step down?
In some weird way he is probably right. It is bad news for the RINOs in the GOP.
Sarah Palin just joined the impeach Obama crowd. Thats bad news for the GOP.
And that's GOOD NEWS for Obama and the Democrats.
Its too late to bring impeachement to the table. Obama would only use this as another diversionary tactic anyway.
And with the weak GOP leadership we have now?
No impeachement. No way.
Oh, yes ... it's just SO vitally important that conservatives take political advice from communist hacks ...
God should just impeach him from humanity and be done with it.
I think Sarah's comments should be taken more along the line of "if anybody OUGHT to be impeached, it's this guy," rather than a strategic decision that impeachment should be started. There's a difference. And, if more of the Republican leaders said it, it might take hold in the minds of the unwashed LIV masses.
"if by some miracle he was impeached, what would force him to step down?"
I am dreaming but if it got to that, he would go and not safely.
In Reading the comments to the story, you can tell WaPo has completed its' brainwashing mission of the zombies....
Marry me, Sarah!
Gutless weasels,,, committee after committee, and what? What do we get?
300K plus since the first of the year illegally entering this country..
Man, CONGRE$$es like this are a tyrannical regime's best friend.
Huh. I thought Sarah Palin wasn't relevant anymore. Why do they care what she says?
Thanks for the sage advice of "do nothing because trying something might not work."
And, welcome to FR?
I expect the GOP leadership to come out immediately, condemn Palin, and then (echoing McCain in 2008) officially state "there is no reason to fear an Obama presidency."
That would be today's GOP for you. The GOP of Boehner/McConnell/McCain. Ignore Obama's utter obliteration of the rule of law, and attack Palin, attack the tea-party, and attack the citizens/militias actually willing to stand up for America's Constitution and its soveriegnty.
The EXEMPT RINO Prince:
"Do not worry, My most beloved King.
Our (RINO) surrogates will continue to call her a 'witch', as usual.
Bring on to the miserable Americans, the Swine flu,
dengue fever, tuberculosis, TB, malaria, yellow fever,
filariasis, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, trypanosomiasis,
and myasis they deserve.
Just remember that for justUS, the EXEMPT,
there must be more waygu, rials, pesos, and ... new voters you promise."
Obama just needs to be referred to as a "failed president".
Just keep repeating it at every photo op, press conference, etc.
Start the narrative.
We've got to force trials and convictions after Obama is out of office where its out of the political realm.
You might want to rethink this.
Being a noob and a concern troll is not a good combination.
I say, let Dingy Harry and the Dims OWN this. This is their wunderkind, breaking the law and undermining the Constitution with their blessing and support.
The Anointed One cannot go on like this for another 2.5 years.
The Freepers helped impeach the Bent One.
We can do it again.
Wa Compost soiling their red draws at the thought of their beloved dick-taters demise.
Sorry, but The One really needs to feel like there is a possibility. When Cruz caused Obama to back down several months ago, everybody jumped on Cruz and basically told him to go back to the back of the room and wait to be called on, like a good little boy. What happened is that even democrats sided with him so Obama, always wanting to save face, backed down. He does what he does because he knows he can. What he hates is for someone to actually stand up to him. He's a spoiled brat. The republicans hear him complain about him and they all rush out to hold his hand so he'll feel better. NONSENSE, folks. I'm pretty sure that Obama knows exactly how much clout Sarah can have and he's going to be watching to see what everybody else does. He CAN be reined in by those who do not live in fear of him. He hates people like that. Go, Sarah! May EVERY American with any conscience left at all fall in behind you and let the surge of support for this go all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I want to see him a lot more rattled, but even better than that, I want to see him out of the WH by the end of this year. That is what I am asking God for.
I just call him the famous amateur golfer or Coyote in chief.
BS. That is plain idiocy. Impeachment starts in the house but has to get a trial in the Senate. The Senate is achievable and probably likely, however why ignite the democrats. If we don't gain control of the senate, we will look like jerks, and deserve to.
. POSOTUS is my name for this merd.
I respectfully disagree. He has been dangerously effective in advancing his progressive/marxist agenda. He needs to be referred to as "criminal".
Even if it is written by the Troglodytes at WaPo.
I don't know about you, but I for one don't care what is good/bad for the GOP.
What is good for America?
If their is no punishment of ANY kind for this Communist Plot straight out of shifting people around after WWII.
Then the President can now truly do anything. What Difference Does it Make?
Yes, the GOP should play to not lose - except that it's a losing strategy.
I was looking for all five services but couldn't find an appropriate photo.
What's new?
Depends what you want to do. Make a grand gesture now - or actually win.
Take the Senate first. It's only 4 months away, and the odds are good that will happen. As long as nothing motivates the gimmes class to get out and vote. Right now - they don't care. A vote not cast by them is a vote for the Right, effectively.
Holding the House is going to happen, no matter how much cash the Dems fling at various races.
THEN impeach the lying, treasonous sod. Just saying - timing is everything. You have a MSM that would be ginning up the LIV's 24/7 if it were tried now, and zero chance of it getting through.
And while I appreciate your advice on concern trolling - Yes I am concerned. Big time. Aren't you?
Absolutely. A smart dangerous adversary. Neither the 'moderates' in the MSM nor the GOPe have a clue. If the ignorance of his deception wasn't so sad it would be funny.
Hahahaha! I kinda knew you're born-on date before I looked.
I wish that people like Palin would give patriots the following information about full impeachment. Patriots and former Obama supporters need to make sure that 2/3 of the Senate is actually willing to follow through with a House of Representatives impeachment by kicking Obama out of office after 2014 elections.
In fact, elections are so close that I'm concerned why people like Palin aren't mentioning requirements for a removal-from-office impeachment.
The only thing that twitched faster than Urkel's ears was Valerie Jarrett's rectal sphincter when she saw tha story on Drudge.
Do not let anyone try to blow smoke up your arse, this is scaring the hell out of the White House.
I don't care about the freaking GOP. I care about America. When the GOP leaves America behind, I leave the GOP behind.
Do you believe he deserves to be impeached?
Do his actions warrant impeachment?
Is Uno pizza still free in the break room?
Pictured above is the reality of American being restored starting in January 2017. President Sarah Palin and her team of Christian and Jewish Patriots will rebuild our nation upon its Biblical foundation. She'll dismantle the EPA, OSHA, USDA, HEW, HHS and a myriad of other anti-business agencies run by pointy-headed, pencil-necked bureaucrats. Freedom and liberty will again ring throughout the land.
a president that does not step down will be removed by the joint chiefs
additionally, if the joint chiefs see the president as a credible threat to national security, they will remove him and put him under arrest as they inform congress. it gets more interesting if the country is in a declared state of war
btw, your belief that the house should do nothing about the destruction of our country due to HReid blocking conviction of impeachment in the senate is bogus. the House show do its job and let the senate defend their position.
it would also stop any further bs
if we had done this after Benghazi, we wouldn't be dealing with this invasion now
Posted before, worth posting again, I think...
His words and actions, like Hitler's, told everybody what his intentions were. But like those in Hitler's day, nobody believed it.
He PROMISED to "Yes-We-Can" fundamentally change America. His VOTING RECORD as a senator told everybody he was to the LEFT of the Socialist Party, so it was easy to see that his fundamental "change" was going to be an attempt to take America from a Constitutional Republic to a Marxist state.
Government take-over of as many things as possible was the goal of the first half of this "presidency" with his crowning achievement being government take-over of healthcare. Nobody blinked. He was reelected.
Somewhere along the line in his "lame duck" second half, he decided he had nothing to lose by doing whatever he could to unconstitutionally consolidate power to himself and destabilize the United States in as many ways as possible.
Reasons to impeach are too long to mention (the list of grievances could read like the Declaration of Independence) but for me, the last straw was letting the five Taliban crazies go back where they could effectively wage murderous Islam jihad on America.
Impeach Obama, repeal Obamacare, cut government by 80%+, constantly assert alternative of the wealth-creating free market economy, and let freedom once again rain in America.

Nuclear power can cure energy dependence, pollution, high fuel bills and...BOOM! Just kidding. William Tucker takes the boom out of the atom and chases away the cancer, the giant mutant insects and the Three Mile Island residents who claim to glow in the dark. Read Terrestrial Energy and help high-binders, hacks and eggheads take a hike. --P.J. O'Rourke, author of Peace Kills and On the Wealth of Nations: Books That Changed the World
William Tucker is one of those rare contrarians who exists on a plateau far above politics. One can take the time to absorb his thoughts now, at leisure as in the case of this book about Neo-nuclear Energy or wait a long time and try to find them in a whadud he say panic. --Tom Wolfe author of The Right Stuff and The Bonfire of the Vanities
In Terrestrial Energy, Mr. Tucker argues that nuclear power is the best option realistically available to us to reduce our national dependence on foreign oil and address the nettlesome matter of "greenhouse" gas emissions. About the other alternatives he is skeptical, believing that they will deliver too little energy at too high a cost. Mr. Tucker, a veteran journalist, has been writing about energy and the environment for some 30 years and knows whereof he speaks.--Wall Street Journal, December 2008
Powerfully written, Terrestrial Energy is a remarkably accessible book that should convert any number of skeptics with its pro-nuclear sermon. However, its strength lies not in the zeal this preacher brings, but in the dispassionate way he makes the case for nuclear in the context of all our energy options. More than just filing a brief for nuclear power, Terrestrial Energy really offers a first-rate primer on energy.--American Spectator, December 2008

With a little more than one month in the books, the Orioles sit last in the AL East at 13-19, seven games behind division leader Toronto.
After a sweet Opening Day rout of the Yankees and a hot 6-2 start, Baltimore's fast pace slowed quickly, their record falling to .500 by the end of April.
Recently, their performance has been less than spectacular winning just four of ten games in May, including three losses to start the month, completing a six game losing streak that started April 27th.
The Birds' run differential is -28, worst in the majors, but it's not like the offense isn't there.
The O's are ninth in runs scored, 11th in home runs, 10th in RBI, 12th in batting average, 14th in OPS, 11th in extra-base hits, and next to last in total strikeouts.
In addition, Baltimore has a team batting average of .302 with runners in scoring position higher than every other team except St. Louis, Boston, and Toronto.
The offense may not be stellar, but with all of those stats in the top half of the 30 MLB teams, I'd say the Orioles' bats are definitely better than middle of the road.
If they had a pitching staff that boasted names like Sabathia, Halladay, or Matsuzaka they might have a better record.
Here's how each starter has fared at the plate this season (in lineup order):

There are numerous types of sleep disorders, many of which can diminish quality of life and impact your child's personal health. These disorders can cause any of the following problems:
Difficulties falling asleep and staying asleep
Children are often referred to the Sleep Disorders Clinic by their pediatrician, by another specialty doctor or even by a concerned parent. Sleep disorders are categorized into two main types: primary/physiologically based sleep disorders and behaviorally based sleep disorders. Based on the child's symptoms, our staff will help determine which clinic is the best fit for your child's sleep problems.
The Sleep Center offers the following services:
Our staff includes a pediatric pulmonologist board certified in sleep medicine, the state's only pediatric psychologist certified in behavioral sleep medicine, a dedicated pediatric nurse practitioner, a pediatric nurse and four respiratory therapists who are also registered polysomnography technologists.

Tidal Mesohaline and Polyhaline Aquatic Beds
This group contains hydromorphic herbaceous vegetation of shallow estuarine bays, tidal creeks, and salt marsh pools. These communities occur along the Atlantic coast from Maine to North Carolina. In Virginia, habitats have salt concentrations > 5 ppt and are permanently flooded by tidal waters or occasionally exposed at extreme low tides. Species richness is very low, with one to a few submerged vascular aquatics present. These consist primarily of wigeon-grass (Ruppia maritima), eel-grass (Zostera marina var. stenophylla), horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustris), and sago pondweed (Stuckenia pectinata, = Potamogeton pectinatus). Aquatic algae are frequent to abundant associates. Although these communities are scattered throughout the eastern Virginia maritime zone, at present there are few data on their composition, distribution, and ecological dynamics in this region.References: Moore et al . (2000), Orth and Moore (1988).

How to Grow Lettuce
Lettuce can be harvested from the garden from late spring to the late fall, and sometimes (given a bit of protection) all winter. The high protein chlorophyll in the dark-green leaves is highly nutritious. Salads are not complete without these leafy greens! Follow along with this handy How to Grow Lettuce from seed Guide and grow fresh salad leaves all season long.
Lactuca sativa
Family: Asteraceae
We Recommend: There are far too many great lettuces to recommend just one. Our Super Gourmet Salad Blend (LT455) remains our most popular blend and offers a whole range of textures and colours.
For Urban Growers: Nothing beats our Fast & Furious Babyleaf Blend (LT502) for variety, flavour, and speed. Harvest as baby greens in only 35 days from planting. It grows perfectly well in containers and window boxes. Each of the six component lettuces are certified organic.
Season & Zone
Season: Cool season
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
Zone: 4-12
Lettuce grows best in cool weather in the spring and fall. Sow in April every 2-3 weeks for a continual harvest. Using a cloche, cold frame, or greenhouse over mid-late August plantings can extend the harvest period right into winter. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 10-22°C (50-72°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-15 days, depending on conditions. Seeds don't sprout easily when the soil temperature is over 22°C (72°F) in summer. Get around this by sprouting them indoors in a cool area, or pre-sprout by sprinkling seeds on a damp paper towl and placing it in a plastic bag in the fridge for a few days. In hot weather lettuce goes to seed rapidly, so have new plantings ready to go.
Direct sow or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 5mm (¼") deep, or on the surface of the soil where the soil can be kept evenly moist.. Space or thin heading lettuce to 30cm (12″) apart. Space or thin looseleaf varieties to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart. Space rows for all types 45-90cm (18-36″) apart. Babyleaf lettuce can be planted quite densely, as it is harvested at an immature size. Sowing babyleaf lettuce seeds closely together in narrow rows makes harvesting simpler.
Note on Pelleted Seeds: A number of our lettuce seeds are pelleted for machine planting. The clay ball that covers each seed makes them easier to handle and easier to see when planted. While most lettuce seeds need to be barely covered (or sown on the surface of the soil), pelleted seeds need to be buried by about 1cm (1/2″). Please keep your newly sown pelleted seeds evenly moist – use more water than with conventional seeds. If the soil is allowed to dry out, the clay pelleting material can wick water away from the seed, causing uneven or lower germination.
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Aim for a soil with ample drainage and lots of organic matter. Add compost and lime at least 3 weeks prior to planting. 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer per 3m (10′) of row will give adequate nutrition. Seedlings should be hardened off by reducing water and putting the plants outdoors 2 or 3 days before transplanting. This will help to prevent transplant shock and premature bolting. Regular watering is essential to prevent leaves from getting bitter. Most varieties will be ready for harvesting as baby leaves in half the days shown on the packet.
Pick individual leaves or wait and harvest full heads. Summer lettuce stays in prime eating condition only a short time, so harvest promptly and keep planting. In fall and winter the plants stay in good eating condition longer.
Seed Info
In optimal growing conditions at least 70% of seeds will germinate. Usual seed life: 3 years. Per 100′ row: 240 seeds head lettuce/1.2M seeds leaf type, per acre: 58M seeds head lettuce/348M leaf type.
Diseases & Pests
Crop rotation is also important for disease prevention. Tip burn (tips of leaves turning brown) is caused by a calcium deficiency. If you have limed, tip burn can be caused by nutrient imbalances or lack of moisture. Slugs are a problem in early and late plantings, so clean up their hiding places.
Companion Planting
Lettuce plants make good companions for beets, Brassicas, carrot, celery, chervil, cucumbers, dill, garlic, onions, radish, spinach, squash, and strawberries.
