Health Information > Condition Information > Symptoms
There are many similar signs and symptoms of ear infections among infants or toddlers and children, teens or adults.
A health care provider can diagnose ear infections after using an otoscope to look in the ears. An otoscope is a very small microscope with a flashlight that can look inside the ear. It helps the provider look for redness and fluid behind the eardrum. It can also use gentle pressure to make the eardrum move in a process called pneumatic otoscopy. If it doesn't move and it is red, then the ear is likely infected. If it doesn't move, but there is no sign of inflammation, there may be fluid in the middle ear called an effusion.
Sometimes providers will use an audiogram to test for hearing loss and a tympanogram to measure air pressure in the middle ear. This shows if the eustachian tube is working correctly and if the eardrum can move.

Five quarterbacks vying for spot on Arizona Diamondbacks
PHOENIX — Former NFL and Heisman Trophy-winning college quarterback Doug Flutie may be joining the Arizona Diamondbacks as a pitcher, thanks to a new show on MLB Network.
Flutie is one of five former college quarterbacks that will be competing on a reality show called "The Next Knuckler."
"The youngest is Ryan Perrilloux, who played at LSU and Jacksonville State," said David Gavant, the Executive in Charge of Production for Major League Baseball Productions.
The other quarterbacks involved are John David Booty from the University of Southern California, his older brother Josh from Louisiana State University and David Greene from the University of Georgia.
Gavant said the four-episode series will feature the five QBs getting training from former MLB All-Star pitcher Tim Wakefield.
"We're going to see if Tim can teach these guys how to throw a great knuckleball," he said.
The winner goes to spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"They will get an opportunity to show what Tim Wakefield has shown them, and get an opportunity to pitch in a real spring training game," Gavant said.
Wakefield will be getting some help with his instruction. 2012 NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey of the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, former All-Star knuckleball pitcher Charlie Hough and 15-year-old Chelsea Baker, a knuckleball phenom who threw two perfect games for her little league team in 2010 will also be on the show.
"The Next Knuckler" debuts Feb. 13 night at 7 p.m. on the MLB Network.

Tony D'Souza named Guggenheim Fellow
Published: Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 2:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 2:39 p.m.
Tony D'Souza, who lives in Sarasota when he's not traveling the world collecting interesting stories, has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Tony's first book, "Whiteman," was a Herald-Tribune Book Club selection in 2007 and had its roots in his experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa. His new novel, "The Konkans," also taps into his Portuguese-Indian family history.
The fellowship puts D'Souza in an elite company of 190 fellows this year, artists, scientists and scholars who will share $8.2 million.
Tony was most recently in Japan, studying Japanese and Ainu culture and language on the island of Hokkaido, an experience he described as "incredibly lonely." He has returned to Sarasota, where his mother lives, and will be a father in August.

From Abalone: What Can FaceAge Do? FaceAge can add/take away: 1. Age 2. Weight FaceAge works with Photoshop and Photoshop Elements What Makes FaceAge Different from Other Aging Software? In short - 3D. Aging is a 3D process that cannot be imitated by pushing pixels around. FaceAge uses a 3D mesh that is altered twice: 1. To conform to the character of the photo and 2. To affect the shape changes due to aging, such as the sagging of the cheeks, the changes in jawline, the recession of eyes, etc. These are all genuine "shape" changes that make the aging (or reverse aging) realistic. FaceAge also uses bumpmaps (another 3D process) to imitate wrinkles.

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012
BEECH ISLAND, S.C. -- Fall weather is here and South Carolina parks are urging high schoolers to take a moment to get outside and enjoy it. This is the second year they are holding the Young Filmmakers Contest at their 47 state parks.
They are asking students to make a 30 second to two minute video about losing technology and getting out in the state parks. The competition's just starting and will go until March, but they say fall is the best time of year to spend some time outdoors.
"Being outside, getting fresh air, is important to remove yourself from your normal routine, your normal area and situation," said Kimberly Henshue.
She spent her day at Redcliffe Plantation in Beech Island.
It's something she says she doesn't do nearly enough, only once or twice a year, and that's all too common.
"I think a lot of people go in stages," Henshue said. "In the family stage, when you have young kids and stuff like that, a lot of people try and introduce their kids to nature and then when your like teenagers, 20s, 30s, you kinda lose it and then when you're older and have kids you want to get back into that."
South Carolina's state parks are trying to change that with a filmmaking competition for high school students.
"It's just to get kids out and to kinda use their imaginations to see what is available at state parks for people in their age group," said Joy Raintree, park manager at Redcliffe Plantation.
This is the second year they are holding the competition. Last year, high school students from across South Carolina entered videos in the Young Filmmaker Contest and now it's time to do it again. Last year's third place winner was was filmed in Aiken State Park.
"Between now, October and March, we're going to be accepting their submissions for videos," Raintree said.
It's all about losing technology and getting outdoors.
"It's looking at that conflict of technology and nature and what do you do when you lose that technology," Raintree said. "What is left? What does nature have to offer you?"
For Kimberly, it offers a lot that you can't find in front of a computer.
"I feel like you lose your sense of exploring," she said. "If it's online, I feel like your being fed things that other people have explored that other people have given to you, but when you're outside, you're exploring and learning it for yourself and finding out things for yourself and doing the work for yourself."
There are cash prizes for the top three and the top 10 are viewed at the Charleston International Film Festival in April. You can enter as an individual or a group, but you must be a high school student.

It may not be that surprising that during the current progressive administration the opposition has been dismissed as "racists" and "tea baggers…" Bottom line — no matter how big a tantrum the progressives throw, no matter how many names they call their opponents, no matter how badly they distort the facts, the probability of very many young healthy people signing up for coverage in California or anywhere else is extremely low.

Enterprise app store automates essential IT processes around license management and application packaging, to increase efficiency, reduce cost and risk of providing employee self-service
Maidenhead - February 19, 2013 - Flexera Software, the leading provider of Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and enterprises, announced a significant upgrade to App Portal, the market-leading enterprise app store. Now integrated with FlexNet Manager Suite, Flexera Software's best-in-class Software License Optimisation solution, and AdminStudio Suite, the company's market leading Application Readiness solution, App Portal enables consumerisation of IT via employee self-service while tying together and automating essential IT business processes around application compatibility, packaging and compliance.
Through this integration, Flexera Software solutions manage application usage across the software lifecycle, uniquely providing enterprises the ability to embrace the consumerisation of IT with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
"Software asset managers lower administration overhead and drive accountability and efficiency through automation. Enterprise app stores can also lower application adoption barriers by reducing the friction involved in finding, sourcing, installing and updating an application," according to Gartner*. "Where a new app store is required, integrate it with internal software asset management and IT procurement systems."
An App Store That Supports Continual License Optimisation
App Portal enables consumerisation of IT through employee self-service, allowing users to view, request, access and deploy enterprise applications to their devices from an easy-to-use, self-service application catalog. With this new release, App Portal obtains asset data from FlexNet Manager Platform, including the number of licenses owned, how many copies of the software are installed and/or in use and how many licenses are currently available. It then initiates a workflow process that automatically routes and fulfills requests based on this data once necessary approvals are obtained. App Portal can also filter app requests by enterprise groups for licenses that are allocated to specific departments, cost centers or countries - giving organisations the ability to implement and manage software access and chargeback rules.
Moreover, App Portal's license reclamation processes are now tightly integrated with FlexNet Manager Suite to ensure licenses are not being wasted by employees who don't use the software. The systems work together to identify unused applications, query relevant users to determine if the application is still needed, and if not, reclaim the licenses and add them back into the available software license pool.
Efficient & Reliable Employee Self Service
To ensure efficient deployment of software, organisations must ensure they've implemented Application Readiness best practices. AdminStudio Suite is the de facto industry standard for compatibility testing, application packaging and migration. App Portal is now integrated with AdminStudio Suite, ensuring fast, efficient and simultaneous automated handoff of the packaged application to the organisation's deployment system and to App Portal.
"Enterprises need to be able to meet the business needs of employees while ensuring that essential business processes are integrated and automated," said Maureen Polte, Vice President of Product Management at Flexera Software. "App Portal is the only solution that takes the entire software license lifecycle into account. By integrating license management, application preparation and packaging into the enterprise app store, it will give employees the enterprise apps they need to do their job in an efficient, automated process that reduces IT costs and risks."
Creating a Familiar, e-Commerce Experience for Employees
App Portal now offers greater convenience in submitting and tracking orders by allowing employees to group multiple requests into a single order, similar to the shopping cart experience they are familiar with on consumer sites. App Portal can also now bundle software and/or hardware items that are typically ordered together or where dependencies exists, and present them as a single item in the online app store - such as a new-hire bundle that includes a laptop, monitor, Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.
"Consumerisation of IT delivers tremendous value when employees are given self-service capabilities that don't negatively impact cost, efficiency and control," said Polte. "App Portal surpasses any other enterprise app store on the market in delivering an 'iTunes' like experience for employees to access their enterprise apps - while ensuring continual software license optimisation, application availability and choice."

Simbu Not In Govindaya Namaha Tamil Remake
Tamil superstar Silambarasan aka Simbu, who was all set to play the lead role in the Tamil remake of Sandalwood's comedy drama Govindaya Namaha, has said that he will not be doing the movie. The movie was likely to be directed by Pawan Wodeyar.
Govindaya Namaha, which featured Komal, Parul Yadav, Madhulika and Rekha in the lead roles, was in high demand for the remakes. The remake rights of the movie was owned by L Sridhar, who initially said that Simbu will act in the Tamil remake of the movie.
Simbu, who confirmed the news to a leading daily, said that he will not be doing the movie. "No, I am not doing the film and I haven't even seen the film yet. Moreover, I have no dates for a while as well."
Govindaya Namaha was recently remade in Telugu as Potugadu. Like the original movie, the Tollywood version too has become a hit, which paved way for the Tamil remake. Both Kannada and Telugu versions were directed by Pawan Wodeyar.
Simbu, who was impressed with the storyline, had crooned the track 'Bujji pilla' in Potugadu. It featured Manchu Manoj Kumar, Sakshi Chodhary, Simran Kaur and Rachel in the key roles.

From the Publisher
Q. Could you tell us a little about your background? "I grew up in Cornwall, in the far southwest of Great Britain. Celtic blood may partly explain my passion for fine inebriants. I prepared for a career in sake brewing by studying German and English literature at university, before coming to Japan (with the initial intention of teaching English) in 1988."
Q. What motivated you to write this book? "When I first started drinking sake about a dozen years ago, my Japanese was next to nonexistent. The early period of my sake-drinking career was exhilarating, but not without frustrations. These were mainly to do with the difficulty of terminology. Beautiful as sake labels are, they are often very difficult to read. Even the simple task of ordering a drink in a restaurant is tricky when everything is written in Japan's notoriously complicated script. English information would have been a blessing, but there was very little about. So, in a sense, the book was written for the me of twelve years ago."
Q. Could you tell us a little about the contents of the book? "As well as tasting notes of over 100 specific brands of sake, the book contains an overview of sake's long history, and a description of the remarkable process by which it is made. At the rear, there are reviews and listings of retailers, restaurants, and izakaya in Japan and abroad. A thorough index and glossary are useful features, as is the compact list of vital terms and measures, tucked into the endpapers."
Q. What do you see as the centerpiece of the book? Why is the book important? "The meat of the book is the Sake Sampler, a survey of more than 100 sake brands, with tasting notes, and information on the policy and history of individual breweries. Photographs of each label enable nonreaders of Japanese to find the sakes easily, and the book is compactly formatted, so it can be easily carried on drinking or shopping exhibitions. How important is it? As a lover of sake (rather than as the author) I'd say, as a practical guide, it is second to none.
Q. What did you yourself learn from writing the book? "I was reminded constantly of the huge range of styles of sake."
Q. What would you like readers to take away with them after reading this> book? "If readers come away infected with the delight in sake that has helped me keep my nose to the grindstone in a traditional brewery for the last decade, I would be delighted."
Q. What people or books were influential in the writing of your book? "My uncomplaining wife did enormous amounts of unpaid work. The books of Japanese sake critic and writer, Matsuzaki Haruo, were an inspiration and a tremendous resource. If he wrote in English, I don't think I'd have the nerve to bother. The understated prose of Charles MacClean, and his apt evocations of the delights of Scotch whisky have also been a model for me."
Q. What are your plans for the future, in terms of new books or other projects? "New sake books in the pipeline, in English and Japanese. For English, watch this space!"
Q. Is there anything else the reader should know? "Everyone should be acquainted with fine sake."

Skip to comments.A Theory on the Royal Lifestyle of the Obamas
Posted on 01/09/2012 12:15:28 PM PST by Kaslin
RUSH: There's another news story that came out. This is in the New York Post, but I guess it's actually been in more places and I just read it first in the New York Post. Jodi Kantor, who is an infobabe reporter for the New York Times, has a book on the Obamas about to come out. It had some excerpts published over the weekend, and they reveal in this book that the White House put on a big Halloween party in 2009 -- right in the middle of the worst of the economic downturn -- and it was an Alice in Wonderland-themed party. They had Johnny Depp come in, in character, and run the whole thing, along with a Hollywood director named Tim Burton. They had vials...
I mean, this was a Hollywood theme party. They had vials of blood. It was just an over-the-top, no-expenses-spared, Halloween party in the White House that they didn't want anybody outside the White House to know about; and the reason they didn't want anybody to know about it is because they were puttin' on the dog and they were spending money left and right, and having a grand old time in the midst of massive economic pain throughout the country. Unemployment, job prospects dwindling for a lot of people. But this private Halloween party that they gave for themselves took place in the State Dining Room.
As I say, the room was decorated by Tim Burton and included costumes. George Lucas actually sent Chewbacca from Star Wars. He actually sent the costume and an actor to be Chewbacca. They drank punch out of blood vials. And Johnny Depp was there in character, the Mad Hatter or some such thing, and -- and the media obviously knew about it and didn't say a word about it. They sat on it, knowing that such extravagance and weirdness might not fly too well in a country in the middle of one of its worse recessions and now it's come out and the White House says, "Well, the media knew about this," which I don't doubt! I don't doubt for a minute the media knew all about this and was hoping to be invited to it.
RUSH: This book by Jodi Kantor, New York Times, that reveals this Halloween party in 2009 also talks about the problem that Michelle Obama has with her husband's staff. She didn't get along with Rahm Emanuel; didn't get along with anybody in the West Wing, primarily because Obama's staff is not radical enough. And I have heard fairly credible reliable sources that Obama is influenced by two people, his wife and Valerie Jarrett, that there are two women who basically -- and I don't know, I don't mean to say it disparaging, I'm just describing them, two women, Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama who basically are on this guy's case every day and telling him what to do, where to go, how to do it, so forth and so on. And that Michelle is just profoundly radical. They've kept it quiet. They've done a good job of making her look like she doesn't do much except raise the two daughters, but that she's really an activist in there and not getting along with Obama's staff because they're just not radical enough. They're not moving far enough, fast enough, quick enough to the left to satisfy her. That's all in this book.
Anyway, I'm reading the New York Post expose on this book about this Halloween party, the Alice in Wonderland Halloween party, and my first reaction, "So what, would anybody have cared anyway if the news had gotten out?" I know it's Halloween, October 2009, we're right in the midst of the stimulus not working, but still, in October of 2009 there's still a lot of hope. You don't have a lot of people still with the guts to criticize Obama. There are beginning to be at that point in time some brave souls on the right starting to take shots at the worthlessness of the stimulus and all that, but pretty much is still in this first year honeymoon phase. There's not a whole lot of criticism. The country is hurting. And I read the story and it makes a big deal here how the White House went out of the way to cover this up, to keep this quiet.
"The book reveals how any official announcement of the glittering affair -- coming at a time when Tea Party activists and voters furious over the lagging economy, 10-percent unemployment rate, bank bailouts and Obamas health-care plan were staging protests --quickly vanished down the rabbit hole. 'White House officials were so nervous about how a splashy, Hollywood-esque party would look to jobless Americans -- or their representatives in Congress, who would soon vote on health care -- that the event was not discussed publicly and Burtons and Depps contributions went unacknowledged,' the book says. However, the White House made certain that more humble Halloween festivities earlier that day -- for thousands of Washington-area schoolkids -- were well reported by the press corps."
They basically had a bunch of kids over on Halloween and that's what made the news, you know, traditional White House Halloween bash. But then they closed it all off and went and had this big decadent Hollywood-esque type Henry VIII bash. "Unbeknownst to reporters, the State Dining Room had also been transformed into a secretive White House Wonderland. Tim Burton decorated it 'in his signature creepy-comic style. His film version was about to be released, and he had turned the room into the Mad Hatters tea party --'" Anybody think that's a coincidence, right in the middle of the Tea Party uprising? They're heading into the 2010 elections and here they're having a Mad Hatter tea party.
"'A long table set with antique-looking linens, enormous stuffed animals in chairs, and tiered serving plates with treats like bone-shaped meringue cookies,' reports the book, which The Post purchased at a Manhattan bookstore. 'Fruit punch was served in blood vials at the bar. Burtons own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.'"
The book also reveals this little anecdote. "One morning during his Senate campaign, Obama didnt show up to a meeting with donors. 'After a frantic search, a white staffer named Peter Coffey called Obamas barbershop to find that, yes, he was there.' The president confronted Coffey about the call later that day. 'The relationship between a black man and his barber is sacred,' Obama bellowed ... 'For failing to understand this truth, your punishment is to watch the movie Barbershop. And for further punishment, you will then watch the sequel, Barbershop 2.'" So Obama's making race jokes to this guy who tried to find him. "You can't interrupt me when I'm at the barber. That's a sacred relationship. Here, you gotta go watch Barbershop, which I think starred Ice Cube, if I'm not mistaken.
Now, here's the point all this. When I read about this, I said, "Well, who would care?" Obama's supporters wouldn't care about this. They had thrown lavish parties in the White House, had Stevie Wonder up there, all kinds of stuff. They were turning the White House into -- well, the media reported it as the cultural return of art and entertainment. It wasn't any big deal, so they had a big Halloween party. The idea that the Obamas consider themselves above and beyond and not at all in any way related to common people, what's surprising about this? The American people don't get upset about anything, why would they get upset about this? But the White House was obviously afraid there would be some people upset, so they did their best to keep it secret.
Now, I don't believe the press didn't know. I think the press went along with keeping it secret. No way the press didn't know this. Whether I'm right or wrong the White House thought people would care, it's clear. Now, another thing you can then ask is, "Well, if we didn't know about this, what else is going on in there that we don't know about?" And that's a legitimate question. What else is happening in the White House that the press knows about but is choosing not to report? And then there was late last week some blogger, somebody took a picture of Marie Antoinette, a painting of Marie Antoinette and put Michelle Obama's face in it. I think it was a blogger, I forget where it was. Anyway, people in the media who saw it immediately started charging racism and insensitivity and how dare they make fun of the first lady this way.
I don't know how you get that. How in the world, there was nothing racial about it. How you gonna put Michelle Obama in a picture and not portray here as African-American, how do you do that? There's no racism in it at all. But anyway, that was the allegation. The point about this is, though, if you look at Michelle Obama and her vacations and her separate travel, she does consider herself royalty. And I have a theory, folks. I'm not retracting anything I've said about liberals, Marxists and their ideological aims, their idea driven aims.
But I also think that there is something else that explains all of this, the Solyndras, the health care waivers, the entire regime -- and I really think it's nothing more complicated than money. I'll never forget Marion Barry, the 1984 Democrat convention, San Francisco. And I don't know what specifically he was referring to, but the theme of his speech was, "Tonight, tonight we're on the inside," meaning, "Okay, finally we've got our chance to be in charge of things." And then when Mayor David Dinkins was elected mayor for life in New York City, I remember some of the civil rights coalition people saying, "All right, now it's our turn to have the money."
Now, I believe that in addition to whatever drives Barack Obama and his party ideologically, also near the top of the list is the pursuit of money without having to work for it; being able to pass it out to their friends and set their friends up to be wealthy for the rest of their lives. I think there's all kinds of that going on, too; and I think if you look at the way the Obamas live -- with Michelle and her separate vacations and not being concerned about how much it costs to take separate airplanes -- there's no question in my mind, whatever else they view this as, that they view this as an opportunity to live high on the hog without having it cost them a dime.
They justify it by thinking, "Well, we deserve this or we're owed this because of what's been done to us and our ancestors all these years." Who knows? I think it's part of it. I also think that it is why the Republican establishment wants back in power. Everybody in Washington wants to be in charge of the money. Everybody wants to run the committees and be the chairman. Everybody wants to be in charge of the budget. Everybody wants to have power over it. Do not discount, ever, the money. Folks, another thing not to fall for: Do not think that however wealthy somebody is, they run around thinking they have enough, because nobody ever thinks they have enough.
No matter how much you have, it's very easy -- it's not hard at all -- to learn how to spend every dime in your pocket. It's easy. Now, people who have never had two or three million dollars think, "My gosh, what would I spend it on?" You'd be surprised once you have it. It's not that hard. And the concept of, "Well, gosh, don't you have enough?" That's a myth, that's something the liberals use to try to guilt other people out of pursuing achievement and so forth. But, believe me: No matter what they have it's never enough, and I think there are a lot of reasons why the Obamas, the Democrats are doing what they're doing.
In addition to the ideology -- in addition to whatever grievances to have about this country and its past and however they think it needs to be cut down to size, however they think the people who have gotten rich need to be gotten even with -- also in the mix is their chance to get their share without having to work for it and set themselves up and their friends up for life in the process. I don't doubt that that's a factor here, and they're clearly willing to use the power, and they don't care about the debt that the country is involved in. They don't think that we are at a point of peril. The idea that the national debt is now greater than the economy? No big deal.
They've been hearing all their lives how the national debt's too high, the national debt's gonna cripple the country, but it never has. While they are hearing all of this horrible stuff about the debt, the deficits, all the tax rates, they look around and they see people doing just fine. They're living high on the hog, and the national debt's not hurting anybody. The rich are getting richer and that's who they want to be -- and if they don't know how to earn a lot of money working for it they'll go someplace where they can legally steal it, or apportion it to themselves and their friends and that's a large part of what's going on with this regime.
So when you have a big time Hollywood party like this or any other show of extravagance, to me it's patently obvious what's going on here: A bunch of people are taking advantage of having control over all that money, a chance to get a lot of it without having to work for it -- under the guise of being entitled to it, pulling the strings -- because in their view, this is what all their predecessors have done. I'll tell you what really woke me up to this (and nobody is more cynical than I am when it comes to Congress, including Will Rogers).
I don't know about you, but when I learned along with the rest of you, when I learned that Congress made it legal for themselves to use insider trading, that's all I needed to know. When they specifically exempted themselves by statute from the insider trading laws -- when Congress passed a law saying, "We can use insider trading," they have a totally different perception of themselves than we do. When it comes to morality, when it comes to ethics, when it comes to why they're there. When I heard that? You know, you live and learn. Lights still go off, red flags still get raised, but that told me a lot.
I've said before, their black base actually supports this, as they experience vicarious reparation through them.
The jokes simply write themselves...
Joe Public out in the cold, but in the WH it's opulent party time —I mean it plays RIGHT INTO the "Alice-in-Wonderland" theme, right?
So it's profoundly unsurprising that every political operative of ObaMugabe would have objected to doing this openly.
Fast & Furious —secret
This party —secret
Legislation to ignore FOIA requests —secret
NDAA arrests of Americans in the USA —secret
"The most OPEN admin in US history" —BAH..!
There is no hope for us peasants until we get radical reform returning the Fed. govt. to the strictly limited function it had under the Constitution.

Obama and his wife have always enjoyed "living large." Check out his former Illinois State Senate district in Chicago or the blighted area of the city where Obama served as a community organizer. Nothing changed for better in either area, but Barack and his family lived in a luxurious mansion courtesy of convicted felon Tony Rezko and his wife. What does it tell you that Obama kept the mansion even after Rezko went to prison?
I would like to vicariously feel satisfied when Obama goes to prison for what he has done.
How about the fact that King Barry continues to have homosexual liaisons, with his golfing buddies, and others, while in the WH? That might be something the American people would be interested to know.
Share the wealth and spread it around. Take it from the rich and put them on the ground.
Isn't this exactly what the OWS morons complain about? Why is it their outrage is never directed at liberals, entertainers or athletes? Could it be that it's all politically motivated and doesn't really concern the 'haves' and 'have nots'? /rhetorical question
I would like to vicariously feel satisfied when Obama goes to prison for what he has done.
These street cheap hustlers are an embarrassment to this country. You know with all hollyweirdos and rappers they entertain, they are probably snorting cocaine off of the coffee tables in the state room.
As someone else said here, "It will take more than an exterminator to clean up the White House for the next occupants - it will take an exorcist."
Their jammin this crap down my throat has lost my respect for the lot.
The Obamas have it in their heads that they have spend more money that all the White presidents before them
But hey; they were safe; Libs/Demrats always safe. . .
I tried to fill in the blank to the question,
"If Michelle had not married well, she would be . . ."
but posting rules prevent my honest answer.
I've realized for a long time that the Obamas see me and the rest of the country as lesser beings. We are supposed to shut up and be grateful for whatever we get while they have the best of everything.
Rush makes some good points and I won't say any of them are wrong.
I'd simply propose another way to look at it.
This is more an absence of leadership than it is a deliberate attempt to shove something down someone's throat.
It takes a STRONG leader with a good sense of who they are to step up and say - NO - this is outrageous - this cannot stand.
A weak leader will be surrounded by sychophants and enablers who are all competing to win favor with the person ostensibly in charge.
And naturally there will be a natural tendency to "top this" and to "do better" and "go further". Say what you want but I don't see the 0mumbas getting on the horn and calling up Tim Burton and who knows all else and saying we want this and we want that.
I see it as a bunch of ambitious and unprincipled underlings that see it a way of currying favor and the driftless, rudderless annointed ones just kind of accepting it and going along with it because they have no core, no soul, no principles. And because they have allowed themselves to believe that it is their due.
Jesus stood up in the temple and threw out the money changers. You think the current white house residents have that kind of internal fortitude? I don't. I think they're along for the ride.
I'm surprised that any public personality, including Rush, had the balls to actually state this.
Public office is seen by black democrats as a means of attaining reparations. It's so obvious and yet is such a taboo topic that no one will touch that elephant in the room.
Black Democrats lose their minds when given a little power....actually ALL Democrats...
Because you've been hiding the evidence all this time!
Release what you know and how you know it or stop complaining!
Who needs a theory. You see this behaviour often when someone lacking money and class win the lottery.
Who needs a theory. You see this behaviour often when someone lacking money and class wins the lottery.
Right on. This elite bunch of wanna be rich jackass are only interested in their own power and wealth. They have no interest in a Constitutional America by the people and for the people. Our interest is totally ignored.
'Jesus stood up in the temple_______'
As for Halloween, many Christians do not celebrate or even recognize this day at all.Fine.
I'm not worried their kids are suffering.
Some do recognize Halloween, but not the ghoulish, witchy stuff.
NO WITCHES, VAMPIRES and SKELETONS!!!
Not saying all are purists or some such.
They may dress up in whimsical, funny, 'harmless' icons in the culture, and go 'trick or treating' for a short while.
A granddaughter was the 'Morton Salt Girl' last year, the 4 year old was Repunzel from'Tangled,' and still another was 'Mary Poppins.'
They have done this for years, and each year they are excited to pull the fabric, hair and make-up together.
And a prop, like salt (glitter garland) 'pouring' from the Morton salt box.
Along with their mom, they are very creative.
Even Mom has worn her dad's sailor top and hat, from WWII!
None would consider drinking punch from blood vials. . .
Still others participate in 'Trunk-Or-Treat' in a church parking lot, where each decorated vehicle gives out candy, as they offer a game of skill first.
We know more and more the adults have been making Halloween the scariest, bloodiest, ghoulish, over-the-top day ever. G r o a n
Doesn't O'Bambam claim he has the Christian faith . . . ?
Such a role model - - -
On our dime.
Let Larry speak for himself in a two-hour interview done this past November with Kevin DuJan of the Hillbuzz blog:
My curiosity is getting me. Where did you find your information? This is huge if it is true.
Ghetto trash acting like they won the lottery.
Can't wait till these fools go bankrupt within five years of leaving office.
"King Barry continues to have homosexual liaisons, with his golfing buddies."
My curiosity is getting me. Where did you find your information? This is huge if it is true.
I figured that's what he was up to a long time ago. He's not a "former" fag.
It's too bad that show is long gone.
Imagine the Sheen or Lohan episodes. They would have to air on the Playboy channel.
This was the whole point of the "Stimulus." When they and those who have placed them to power have finally bankrupted America for generations, illegally gathering up for themselves and their friends the riches that this nation has produced, they will be untouched by the poverty that will tear this nation apart at the seams. The wealth of the United States has been looted on a grand scale.
And when the chaos starts, I don't put it past many of them to flee and find sanctuary overseas to escape the wrath of the American public.
It's transparent because you can see right through the lies.
I've posted here on FR about 0's penchant for golf: his regular foursome is composed of very junior and good-looking young WH staffers (google image Ben Finkenbinder):
The frequency and somewhat mysterious nature of these golf outings - if you will - have caused trouble with his marriage: again, something the WH press has ignored.
And then there's all the Reggie Love stuff, which the press has also completely ignored.
Larry Sinclair, Kal Penn, Ben Finkenbinder, Reggie Love: do you detect a pattern here?
But of course, it's only conjecture and rumor.
I'm sure it couldn't have anything to do with Larry Sinclair's long criminal record. Or the fact that he failed his polygraph exam.
I'm sure that any state legislator looking for illegal drugs and illicit sex with another man would have a cabdriver fix him up with a criminal and give his real name and job title to someone he just met for illegal purposes.
I don't know what Obama gets up to on his golf days, but if all you've got is Larry Sinclair, you haven't got anything. There are plenty of things the media should be looking into in Obama's background, but until you get something more substantial rumors of sex in the club house aren't high on the list.
And so it doesn't seem you bothered to listen to the interview.
Still, it's not just Larry. Aren't you at all curious about Kal Penn, or Reggie Love, or Donald Young, or 0's still unidentified "friend" with whom he traveled to Pakistan as a student? Or his peculiar relationship with Frank Marshall Davis? Or the young men in his golfing foursome? Or why a man who smokes spends so much time at the gym?
Probably not. And the media isn't either.
So he is. Discredited.
Every president has a "body person" who fetches them things. A lot of people fixate on "body person" or "Reggie Love" and assume there's a secret meaning. I don't know what's going on between Obama and Love, but have you considered that the "secret" may be all in your own head?
Two bets you should always take: that an unmarried male Church music director or organist or choirmaster is gay, and that someone in an inner city Black church is killed in the course of a year or a decade. But is there really any more to the Donald Young story than that? Any real Obama connection or just coincidence?
There are a lot of good reasons to dislike and distrust Obama, but this gay murder stuff isn't. This stuff is all a distraction concocted by people who aren't much more trustworthy than he is himself.
I saw that and laughed. wookie meets chewbacca

Four representatives of the newly formed Oceanside Performing Arts Center reported to the town council last week their efforts and the advantages to the town in having a new home for the Cape Cod Symphony in Hyannis.
The proposal is being studied by a feasibility consultant and the new corporation's president, Warren Marsh, said the group could not do any serious fundraising until the study is complete, which is expected this summer. Marsh said a performance center would be a "real economic driver for Hyannis."
Oceanside Executive Director Jerome Karter said the new center would nearly double the number of seats sold annually and increase the number of performances from 18 to 28. The Barnstable High School auditorium has limitations on space, sound and lighting and presented scheduling conflicts, the directors said.
Oceanside Treasurer Kimberly Williams described the benefits for children's musical education in moving the Cape Cod Conservatory into the new center. Those benefits got response from two of the younger mothers on the council, Jen Cullum and Sara Cushing, who said they grew up with music lessons; Cullum's father had a music store.
Cushing said she would support more children's access to affordable programs at the conservatory, which the directors said is happening. Cullum said, "I'm so happy to see this in Hyannis. It's exactly the type of fabric mending we need."

Joseph Stalin: "Results of the First Five-year Plan"(1933)
Document Text
I: The International Significance of the Five-year Plan
Comrades, when the five-year plan was published, people hardly anticipated that it could be of tremendous international significance. On the contrary, many thought that the five-year plan was a private affair of the Soviet Union—an important and serious affair, but nevertheless a private, national affair of the Soviet Union.
History has shown, however, that the international significance of the five-year plan is immeasurable. History has shown that the five-year plan is not the private affair of the Soviet Union, but the...

Weekly Feature Digest 28: Photos of the new PC-BSD AppCafe redesign
This article by Make Tech Easier discusses the pros and cons of both PC-BSD and Ubuntu as an open-source desktop operating system. The two operating systems are compared by the ease of use as a desktop, starting with the installation process, desktop environment, and ending with application support and installation.
To read the full article with graphics, check out the following link: http://www.maketecheasier.com/pc-bsd-vs-ubuntu/
Kris Moore and the PC-BSD team have been working on several updates for PC-BSD. The most notable are fixes related to the recent Heartbleed/OpenSSL bug, as well as stability issues with the PBI system. The Update Center has also had some changes to improve usability on the PC-BSD operating system. In addition, preload, an adaptive readahead daemon, has been ported over. An alpha version of the Lumina desktop environment is also in development by Ken Moore.
Check out the full list of notes here: Digest 25 and Digest 26
The first PC-BSD 10.0 quarterly update has come out, and 10.0.1 is now
This update includes a number of important bugfixes, as well as newer
packages and desktops, such as KDE 4.12.2, Cinnamon 2.0 and more. For
more details and updating instructions, refer to the PC-BSD 10.0.1 release notes.
The bsdnow.tv team has uploaded a new episode: Journaled News-Updates, featuring an interview with George Neville-Neil. In this episode you will hear hosts Allan Jude and Kris Moore chat about the following topics:
This post is sponsored by our partner RootBSD, an expert in BSD style web hosting : stable, secure, flexible and friendly.
Following the announcement of PC-BSD 10.0 on the PC-BSD blog, iXsystems has released a press release to announce the new achievement: PC-BSD 10: Propelling the BSD Desktop Experience to New Heights
From the PR release:
"iXsystems, Inc. is delighted to announce the release of PC-BSD 10: Joule Edition! This major new version of the PC-BSD desktop operating system brings in a wide variety of improvements to both its own tools and software from the wider open source community. Most users will notice the replacement of GNOME 2 with MATE, as well as the revamped Life Preserver backup utility that makes use of ZFS replication. The underlying operating system has been updated to FreeBSD 10, which brings in many performance and driver improvements, including updated AMD video drivers.
The largest change since PC-BSD 9 is the replacement of GNOME 2 with its successor desktop, MATE. MATE is a fork of GNOME 2 that seeks to preserve the traditional desktop metaphor. GNOME 3 and Cinnamon are also available as unsupported desktops – GNOME 3 is the latest desktop from the GNOME project, and Cinnamon provides a variant on the GNOME desktop experience from Linux Mint. With these additions and the latest versions of XFCE, LXDE, and KDE, PC-BSD offers a complete array of modern desktop environments for users to choose from.
PC-BSD provides an incredible array of custom tools and utilities, and most of them have been improved with this release. The biggest change is to the PC-BSD Life Preserver, which now operates via ZFS snapshots and offers the ability to quickly retrieve files from previous versions of the filesystem. Your entire disk of data can also be automatically replicated to a remote system using the same ZFS revision, such as FreeBSD 10 or FreeNAS 9.2. Should your existing disk drive crash, it is possible to recover directly from the remote replication using the PC-BSD DVD/USB installer. A new disk management tool for managing ZFS volumes after installation has also been added in this release as well as a new Qt based graphical login manager (PCDM), replacing the legacy GDM login manager.
The PC-BSD installation process has been improved as well. There is now a single file to download, which can be used for either a USB or DVD installation. The installer now offers a choice of graphical or text mode, making it just as easy to use for server installation as for desktops. The installer now offers GRUB as the recommended bootloader, with support for ZFS boot environments. This allows users to backup the entire boot environment of PC-BSD before attempting upgrades or hazardous operations, and boot back into them later if something goes wrong.
Joe Maloney, an Assistant Network Administrator with Sumner Communications who runs pkgdemon.com and recently joined the PC-BSD project as a volunteer developer, told iXsystems about his experience using PC-BSD at his day job.
"Currently four out of five of us in our Internet Technical Support Department use PC-BSD. Recently I've implemented EasyPBI to create installers for our work applications. I run PC-BSD 10; I'd say each release keeps getting better and better. My favorite PC-BSD features are Ports Jail, the Warden, and ZFS support for RAID-Z, snapshots, and rollbacks.""
Closely tracking the release cycle of FreeBSD, Kris Moore has now announced the availability of PC-BSD 10.0-RELEASE.
Some of the most notable features in this release are:

About PC-BSD: PC-BSD is a Unix-like, user-friendly desktop operating system built upon the most recent releases of FreeBSD. The PC-BSD project is sponsored by iXsystems, and aims to be easy-to-install by using a graphical installation program, and easy-to-use by providing a number of open source desktop environments. PC-BSD also comes with its custom-tailored Push Button Installer (PBI) application installer.
