A Farewell to the Dog Who Helped Him Off the Streets
Raymond Goynes went uptown to see Sonja one last time on March 8, a sunny Tuesday morning. He let himself into her owner's penthouse duplex in Hell's Kitchen. Sonja, an 11-year-old wheaten terrier, was sprawled on the wool kilim rug in the living room. Her head rested on a towel.
"Look who it is, look who it is!" Sonja's owner, Mary Kilty, cried.
"Miss Sonja!" Mr. Goynes called out. For the first time in an hour or so, the little tan dog raised her head.

No Toilets for the Homeless
The inability to use a toilet isn't just embarrassing. According to the 2015 No Right to Rest Report, a collaborative study by scholars and homelessness advocates in Colorado, it represents a public health crisis. For example, Stolte explained, the dearth of toilets and places to wash exacerbates health problems like body lice, skin infections, gastric illnesses, prostate and bowel issues, and the spread of communicable infections.

Community Veterinary Outreach: supporting homeless people and their pets
The most common question I get asked is, "Should homeless people have pets?" And my response is always, "Should we have people who are homeless?" Ottawa veterinarian Michelle Lem talks about the Community Veterinary Outreach program and its model of community medicine for people and pets. At CVO, volunteer veterinarians, vet techs, social workers and public health nurses work together to connect with marginalized people by providing free veterinary care for their beloved pets.

Defensive Architecture Keeping Poverty Unseen

You need housing to achieve stability, not the other way around.
We could, as a country, look at the root causes of homelessness and try to fix them. One of the main causes is that a lot of people can't afford a place to live. They don't have enough money to pay rent, even for the cheapest dives available. Prices are rising, inventory is extremely tight, and the upshot is, as a new report by the Urban Institute finds, that there's only 29 affordable units available for every 100 extremely low-income households. So we could create more jobs, redistribute the wealth, improve education, socialize health carebasically redesign our political and economic systems to make sure everybody can afford a roof over their heads.Scott Carrier reports for Mother Jones on Utah's simple, cost-effective approach to ending homelessness: "finding and building apartments where homeless people can live, permanently, with no strings attached. It's a program, or more accurately a philosophy, called Housing First." [more inside]
Instead of this, we do one of two things: We stick our heads in the sand or try to find bandages for the symptoms. This story is about how Utah has found a third way.

What It's Like to Fail.

They say they thought there were fewer homeless people than before.
If you declare, in a famous poem affixed to the Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor, "Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me," you might consider that a certain commitment has been made. (SLNYer)
Digital panhandling is the next internet boom
"It's a lot less embarrassing," he says. "You don't have to put yourself out there." And unlike panhandling in Pensacola, using an app like Bitcoin Tapper won't put him on the wrong side of the law. This past May, Pensacola — where Angle has lived since April — passed an ordinance that bans not only panhandling but camping on city property. -- Homeless, unemployed and surviving on bitcoins (and food stamps).

Bed, shelter, home, refuge.
The journey with no destination.
"We board in northwest London on a regular bus, with the intention of heading into the heart of the capital, where there is a much greater choice of night buses when it gets later and colder. By now the group seem to have fully accepted my presence and are keen to tell me about their lives. The most pressing question I have is: why? Why would you eschew safety and warmth and comfort for this? It turns out that while a couple of kids might be along for the ride, for most this is their only option.
A boy with huge brown eyes, who is so small he barely looks older than 12, tells me: "I'm allowed home in early mornings to have some food and change my clothes, but I have to be gone by the time my mum wakes up." When I ask him why, he shrugs, as if the answer is forgotten or irrelevant."
We're changing our image.
Panhandling in Arcata tests the city's tolerance. 'Long known as the "Berkeley of the North," Arcata traditionally has welcomed the downtrodden, embraced the leftist fringe and fostered a live-and-let-live ethos.' 'But balancing the comfort of the haves with tolerance for the have-nots has come down to a complex question of just who is worthy of help.' 'Councilwoman Susan Ornelas reflected the community's torn conscience: "While we're a progressive town and we're very open-hearted," she said, "we have limits on our tolerance."' 'A report last fall by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty found that slightly more than half of 234 cities surveyed had bans on aggressive panhandling, the same proportion had outlawed it in specific areas, and one-fourth forbade begging citywide.'

Homeless on purpose
Homeless on purpose, how a U1 philosophy student braves the elements, sleeps outside, and keeps an eye on his GPA Shane is a U1 Philosophy student at McGill, and has been homeless since July. He lives on campus, using its facilities like most of us use different rooms in a house. He eats his meals in student lounges and does push-ups in the library. He showers at the gym and stashes extra socks in convenient hiding spots. He won't say where – he guards his possessions closely.
It was Once Much Easier to inhabit public space.
Seeing so many Occupiers getting evicted made me think of this short 1988 documentary by Nancy Kalow on homeless squatter punk teens in the Bay Area (warning:cringe-inducing rapping in the opening scene). From their stories, it seems as if they had free reign of the abandoned Berkeley Polytech building for a while. Readers of Cometbus who aren't from the Bay Area can see a bit of the scene he made sound so attractive. 1993 sequel, The Losers Club.
Bank of America is a shitty neighbor
"I live next door to a house owned by Bank of America, and they are the worst neighbors I've ever had. The previous owner, Mike, was a good guy; he occasionally had loud parties, but we were always invited and the food was great. Then he was killed on the job. He had been single and had no will, so his house swiftly defaulted to the lender. More than three years later, that house is still empty." An essay on trying to fight off suburban decay, and the changing face of the margins of American society.
Vancouver aims to "end homelessness by 2015"
Vancouver aims to "end homelessness by 2015". Officials have been working over the years to reduce the city's homelessness, and in July passed an ambitious plan that targets eliminating street homelessness by 2015 and creating nearly 40,000 new units of social, rental, and condo housing by 2021. The plan is aimed at building multiple types of housing to address shortages, but the first three years focus mainly on supportive and social housing. It calls for 3,650 units of such housing, 1,700 of which are already funded and in either the planning or construction phase. According to city councilor Kerry Jang, the need for this type of supportive housing has skyrocketed in recent years.
Transient Man
Transient Man. "Transient is a black comedy about a homeless man who's visions lead him to believe he is an inter-dimensional savior of humanity, on a mission to save the universe. Is he indeed the 'one', chosen by mystical divine forces to embark on a crusade against ultimate evil, or a hopeless lunatic, aimlessly wandering the streets of San Francisco? Transient is a spoof on the hero's journey that's part Men in Black, part Raising Arizona, flavored with liberal portions of Ghostbusters and John Steinbeck. It is a ballad to the city by the bay, and a heartfelt tale of the sacrifices one man will take for his love for his family, his friends, and all of humankind." [Via]
20 Facts About U.S. Inequality that Everyone Should Know
A place on earth
Safe Ground is an organization of Sacramento's homeless population to claim a secure location in order to live decently. While resistance to tent cities (previously, 2, 3) has largely been due to political expediency (criminalizing homelessness is easier than ending it), a spot on Oprah brought media attention to the plight of the homeless and made it more difficult for police to bully them from place to place with the threat of jail. In response to this, Costa Mantis(of He Knows You're Alone fame [uncredited on the wiki]) started filming the personal stories of the homeless along the American River in Sacramento. This led to Searching for Safe Ground, a miniseries concerning the struggle of Sacramento's homeless for a place to exist. Incidentally, a federal jury ruled tonight that the city of Sacramento has been violating homeless people's constitutional rights by moving them from public property and confiscating their property. Stay tuned.

Definición de Dunbar's number en inglés:
Dunbar's number
(also Dunbar number)
A theoretical limit to the number of people with whom any individual is able to sustain a stable or meaningful social relationship (usually considered to be roughly 150): even in the age of Facebook, the number of friends with whom you keep in touch is likely to be less than Dunbar's number

This paper examines the concept of moral responsibility as it applies to the actions of corporations. I argue that it is both conceptually and morally appropriate to hold corporations morally responsible for some of their actions, and I attempt to show that arguments to the contrary are unsound. Although I hold that corporations may legitimately be held morally responsible I also argue that one can expect capitalist corporations to follow moral principles only to a rather limited extent.
1 A condensed earlier version of this paper was read at a Western Canadian Philosophical Association meeting in Lethbridge in October 1989. Several helpful comments were made by my commentator, Eldon Soifer of the University of Regina, and those present. I would also thank Prof. Philip Gosselin for extensive comments he made on the earlier draft.

There was some movement of capital from overseas, however the US economy is stable and many headwinds seem neutralized, at these levels its a mistake for TLT to keep climbing as the chances of a rate hike are now about 50% in the FALL. Therefore TLT may return to about $115 by year end. This anomaly is temporary. This afternoon watch it slide.
You must be kidding, this equity value should be over $80, its a matter of time. It has build up a base over the past month, and more investors will go in long term as the pivot unfolds in the coming months. Target is $80 by year end. Anything under $50 is a steal, dirt cheap.
Not even a year, and APPL is down under $95.
This stock will in the coming weeks or months trend to new highs similar to what FB, AAPL, GOOG, and FB pulled off in the past. That is namely about a 500% return from lows. I would suspect by end 2016 NVDA will be trading near $100, and more like $150 by mid 2017. The new share price will include the new markets that are just beginning to exponentially grow.
Investors have no idea of the dramatic changes in the industry, and are still seeing this is geometric growth.
It's unbelieve that the share price is still under $80.
Analysts just keep increasing targets or vice versa chasing, they follow study. They can't anticipate big shifts or they would have predicted FB at $25, GOOG at $100, or AAPL at $15. It's pointless. You guys watch too many movies. The FACT is NVIDIA is the best GPU in the world, and is heading into data centers, A.I., and other markets and has a monopoly. The FACT is this was under appreciated in 2015, so like TSLA, AAPL, FB, GOOG, and others in the last 5 years, it will appreciate in share price easily 100% to 200%. If the market holds then in 2 quarters this will be over $80.
The $2 move this week is a joke and irrelevant.

Characterization of Single-Shot Large-Signal Phenomena
Device and PA Circuit Level Validations
Linear Technology Corp. announces a new H grade, wider temperature range version of the LT1965 a 1A LDO with high power density. The IC features low dropout voltage of only 300 mV at full load, wide VIN capability of 1.8 to 20 V and an adjustable output from 1.2 to 19.5 V.
Low output noise of only 40µVRMS reduces noise in instrumentation, RF, DSP and logic supply systems and is beneficial for post-regulating switching power supplies. Output tolerance is tightly regulated to within ±3% over line, load and temperature. The device's low quiescent current of 500µA (operating) and less than 1µA (shutdown) make it an excellent choice for applications requiring high output drive capability with low current consumption.
The LT1965 regulator optimizes stability and transient response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as small as 10µF. These tiny external capacitors can be used without any necessary series resistance as is common with many other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, no reverse current, current limiting with foldback, and thermal limiting. For applications requiring large input-to-output differentials, the LT1965 offers a very compact and thermally effective solution.
The LT1965 H grade is rated from -40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature and is offered in the low profile (0.75mm) 8-lead DFN (3mm x 3mm) package, the surface-mount DD-Pak power package, and the TO-220 power package. All devices are available from stock, and 1,000-piece pricing starts at $2.80 each, respectively. For more information, visit www.linear.com.

The Big Bang
A Huge Explosion Levels a Spectacular Napa Valley Mansion, and Investigators Are Very Suspicious
De Monet, 48, a real estate developer, was vacationing at Lake Tahoe at the time with his third wife. Regina, and her two children from a previous marriage. When they learned their house had been destroyed, says De Monet, "I looked at my wife and said, 'Does that mean we won't go fishing?' Then we both started crying."
The Napa County Sheriff's Department immediately classified the explosion as arson. They believe someone filled the mansion with propane gas from a 1,100-gallon tank used to heal an outdoor swimming pool, then set it off with an incendiary device. Investigators have been questioning De Monet's business associates and family and have yet to determine the motive or come close to identifying the culprit. "We're still looking at De Monet as a victim," says Del. Mike Collins. "But we haven't eliminated him as a suspect."
Part of the investigation has focused on De Monet's business dealings. "It's a paper chase," says Collins. Though Collins has uncovered no evidence to prove De Monet is on the ropes financially, the developer has had his share of money problems. His latest project—a $130 million office complex planned in East Palo Alto—has been slowed by lawsuits and the recession. In January 1992, just four months after he moved into the château. De Monet put if on the market for $12.5 million. He had recently dropped the asking price to $8 million and still found no takers. If his insurance claim for the fire is accepted. according to investigators, he could get up to $9.1 million.
Regardless of the difficulties De Monet had trying to sell the mansion, his friends find it hard to believe he would want it destroyed. "Joaquin loved his toys," says Sherman White, a neighbor. "He wanted the most fabulous place in Napa valley. He wanted to outdo the other mansions." White finds it equally unimaginable that the explosion might be an act of vengeance by one of De Monet's associates. "For someone to do something like that, it has to be more than a business deal gone sour," he says.
One of the many people detectives questioned during the investigation is De Monet's second wife, Gail, whom he divorced in 1988. Last October De Monet filed suit against Gail, accusing her of having a sexual relationship for five years with his son Philip (one of three children from his first marriage). De Monet claims Gail seduced Philip at age 15, in 1983, and concealed the relationship so "she might continue to enjoy indefinitely the very substantial material fruits of her marriage." (Gail, who has two children with De Monet—Aaron, 11, and Nicole, 9—denied the charges. On the day of the explosion, she accused De Monet in a countersuit of inflicting "severe emotional distress" on her by having an affair during their marriage. Despite these hostilities, investigators no longer seriously consider Gail a suspect.
De Monet has declined to discuss details of the suit or the pending arson investigation. Currently, he says, his priority is to find a new home for his family. "It's been a shock," he says. "We're just zombies now."

Broken down in the UK?
Call 0800 88 77 66 or buy UK cover online.
Already have European cover, and broken down in Europe? Call 00 800 8877 6655.
Motorways are the most dangerous places to break down – there are some things you must do to stay safe before you call us and while we're on our way.
On a motorway
- Firstly, remember that the hard shoulder is only for emergencies, not for making calls, having a stretch or toilet stops
- If it's an emergency and you can't get off the motorway, pull on to the hard shoulder
- Make sure you stop as far to the left as you can, with the wheels turned to the left
- Put your hazard lights on. If it's dark or foggy, keep your sidelights on too
- You and any passengers should get out of the vehicle using the left-hand (passenger) door and move up the bank or stand behind the barrier
- Leave animals in the car
- Wear a reflective jacket if you have one, but don't put a warning triangle on the hard shoulder
- Don't attempt even a simple repair. Call us on 0800 88 77 66 or use the AA app on your mobile or tablet
- If you don't have a mobile, walk to an emergency phone on your side of the carriageway; follow the arrows on the posts at the back of the hard shoulder – the phone is free and connects directly to the police
- If you feel at risk from another person, return to your vehicle by a left-hand door and lock all doors; leave your vehicle again as soon as you feel this danger has passed
- If you have a disability which prevents you from following the above advice, keep your seatbelt on, switch on your hazard warning lights and use a mobile phone, if you have one, to call us or the emergency services
If you can't get to the hard shoulder, stay in your vehicle unless you can be absolutely sure it's safe to leave it. Put your hazard lights on, keep your seatbelt on and call the emergency services.
Never try to fix your vehicle on a motorway
On a smart motorway
If you break down on a smart motorway where the hard shoulder has been converted into a traffic lane, follow these steps:
- Use an emergency refuge area (ERA), motorway service area or leave at the next junction
- If this isn't possible, try and get the vehicle off the carriageway
- If you have to stop in a traffic lane, turn on your hazard lights as soon as possible
- If you're in the left-hand lane, and it's safe to do so, get out of the vehicle on the left-hand (passenger) side and wait behind the barrier
- Call us on 0800 88 77 66 or use the AA app on your mobile or tablet
- If you can't get out, or you're in another lane and it isn't safe to leave the vehicle, stay in the car with your seatbelt on and dial 999
- If you stop in an ERA, you must use the SOS phone to contact the Regional Control Centre when you stop, and before you leave
More about smart motorways.
On a road
- Move your vehicle off the road if you can, but watch out for soft verges that could make it tricky to get going again
- Put your hazard lights on; if it's dark or foggy, keep your sidelights on too
- Wear a reflective jacket if you have one
- If you think your vehicle could be hit by other traffic, make sure all your passengers are out of the vehicle and away from the road
- If you have one, and it's safe to do so, put a warning triangle at least 45m (50 yards) behind your vehicle
- Don't stand between your vehicle and oncoming traffic
- If you need our help, call 0800 88 77 66 or use the AA app on your mobile or tablet
Re-joining the carriageway
Build up speed on the hard shoulder first and watch for a safe gap in the traffic.
If you're broken down now, we can help you even if you're not with the AA. Get instant breakdown cover online.
Help us find you faster
- The AA app is the best way to contact us, as we can find your exact location using your phone's GPS
- Without the AA app, look for driver location signs on the motorway
- Using the nearest emergency telephone on the motorway automatically gives us your location

I would like to request an option to allow custom links for your background images.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
I would like to request an option to allow custom links for your background images.
I looked into it and created a working php/js code which applied a link to the background image however because of the nature of the plugin it doesn't make much sense/it doesn't work right. The problem is that the background image uses a layer which is behind the content and you can't click links which are part of the background layer. The result is that the link is applied to the image and the code is correct however you can't click the link because it's overlapped by the content layer. If you set the bg layer to z-index 0 or 1 the image is clickable but the content is overlapped and the images can't be considered as backgrounds anymore.
Looks like this guy has done it. Maybe you should check out his plugin.
Maybe I'm missing something but this plugin just adds a pure css background (not scaled to fullwidth) - the url option doesn't allow you to set a link but you can add external images by inserting the url to the image. This is also possible with wp-backgrounds - just paste the url in the "add background" text field.
Roger that. The link doesn't necessarily have to be attached to the background image. It seems as though this should be able to be worked out through the z-index as you mentioned, but may require a specific edit for each theme.
For example the content problem in which you describe, if there is no z-index value assigned to the content CSS style then you would have problems like you mentioned.
Any other clever ideas for getting a background link into this plugin?

"forced" to consume animal products?
Over a year ago
SO I'm battling eating disorders and I'm headed to treatment again. The thing of it is.. many treatment centers don't allow you to be vegan, but the one I'm going to doesn't even allow vegetarianism!!? Its so hard because I know my love of animals and support for animal rights isn't my eating disorder. Some people claim they're vegan as a way to restrict foods which is why many places don't allow it, but I know that's not what I'm doing! Any food can be made vegan just by substituting!! I don't know.. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with it. Also, I can refuse the meat at meals where I'm served it, but have to supplement with Boost (that has whey) so I know no matter what being vegan isn't a possibility and I don't want to refuse the supplement, its just so hard to do it when I know where it comes from :'( Feeling conflicted!

Hey @splishsplash247!
First off, I think it's really admirable that you are admitting that you need help and are seeking treatment. I'm sure everyone on here agrees with me when I say that I wish you a speedy recovery, and that we're here to support your along your journey!
Secondly, I agree that your top priority while you're in treatment needs to be getting at the root of your problem and really trying to get better, so that you'll never need to go to treatment again! At the same time, you know better than anyone that your vegan lifestyle is not at the root of your struggle. From what it sounds like in this treatment center's policy, it seems like they're trying to provide an environment that's really going to work with you to get better. Help them try to understand that in your personal case, being forced to eat meat will in no way help you to develop a better relationship with food! In fact, eating meat is actually associated with more health risks than a veg diet. You can look at http://www.pcrm.org/ to learn more about the connection between eating animals and your health.
I hope that you are able to help the treatment center understand that you can get better while still maintaining a meat-free diet, but again, we all want you to get better- so that needs to be your priority right now. Please keep us posted, and I wish you the best of luck! We're here for you 🙂

Speak to the people involved in your care and explain how much veganism means to you for ethical reasons, and make sure you state you're willing to eat whatever vegan substitutes they provide for you.
If it really isn't possible to stay vegan whilst in treatment then at least settle for vegetarianism because you're still helping the animals and the quicker you get better, the quicker you can get back to your life and being an awesome healthy vegan 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

This is obviously really difficult for you so you need to think everything through carefully.
You could say that being vegan/vegetarian is a part of your core religious belief which can fit in with any religion if they challenge it. Also you could explain that not following this diet could cause you severe mental pain which would not help your condition. You could also try sending them a link to a documentary such as Earthlings and saying that this is why you won't eat meat then give them some viable suggestions of what you could eat instead such as tofu and beans along with some recipie links.
I'm sure that if you show them how dedicated you are to both your belief and to your treatment that they should be willing to try with you at the very least.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

For those who don't realize it, there is no way that the treatment center will allow veganism. While any malnurished individual can get better on a vegan diet, veganism and vegetarianism is a common in those with eating disorders and it is impossible for doctors to tell whether the patient is vegan for animal rights or to be skinny.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Women's Lacrosse Announces Youth Clinics
Oct. 14, 2010
BALTIMORE - The Loyola University Maryland women's lacrosse team will host two instructional clinics for young lacrosse players who want to improve their skills this month, with the Lax Factor Clinic on October 23 for high school players and the Lacrosse Futures Clinic for girls in third through eighth grades on October 30.
"We're excited to host these clinics," said Head Coach Jen Adams. "It's a great opportunity to develop skills and mix with the Loyola women's lacrosse program."
Attendees will receive instruction from Loyola Head Coach and three-time national college player of the year Jen Adams, Loyola assistant coach and two-time All-American Dana Dobbie and Loyola assistant coach and 2005 Tewaaraton Trophy-winner Katie Chrest. All three coaches played for their respective national teams and will be joined by players from Loyola's nationally-ranked program at the clinics.
The Lax Factor camp runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 23. The clinic is open to high school students in grades nine through 12 and will feature a variety of drills and exercises.
"At the Lax Factor clinic, we'll run through a lot of drills that we use with our college team," Adams said. "It's fresh and exciting lacrosse, and campers can tailor the camp to their needs."
The clinic will include a "You Pick 2" option, where attendees chose two mini-sessions from stick handling, draws, checking, eight-meter shooting, defensive footwork and goalkeeping.
The Lacrosse Futures clinic will instruct girls in third through eighth grades and run from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 30.
"The Futures clinic will be a similar kind of format to the Lax Factor clinic, but focus on individual skill a little bit more," Adams said. "We want to make confident players."
Attendees will work with Loyola coaches and players as they improve and learn skills and techniques with drills and stations. Though Adams works with college players daily, working with younger lacrosse players offers a welcome change.
"I truly enjoy working with kids and watching the progression in their skills, following them from the clinics and as they move through their careers," she said. "I love working with grassroots lacrosse and helping pass on my passion for the sport."
Registration fees are $75 for the Lax Factor clinic and $40 for the Loyola Futures clinic. Registration forms for the clinics are available in PDF format below.

Skip to comments.If Mitt Romney is in, I'm out!
Posted on 04/30/2009 11:50:51 AM PDT by Jim Robinson
click here to read article
Amen to that, bro.
He has to use these three years (two and a half) to DO conservative things. And he's not.
His word is not good enough, he cannot just SAY conservative things, he has to DO them.
Preemptive Opus? Say it ain't so, Jim.
Yawn. He's gotta make it through the primaries first.
I find that doubtful (again).
Take me with you, Jim!
You must be a Rudy supporter.
Mitt barely made it through a couple of primaries the last go around. He has the money, he has the hair, but he doesn't have the votes. The media and the good-old-boy network want him because he'll pick up the tab at dinner, but they won't vote for him in the morning. Conservatives never have been really happy with him, only some when looking on balance with the other options.
2012 is our opportunity. The GOP goes through a resurgence every two decades or so where we get our principles back.. then, when we get power, too many join the cocktail circuit, give up principles for power, and lose power.. we are at the point of the cycle where we are prime to get principled leaders back.
Required reading...
Was that an Opus?
Amen, Mr. Robinson, Amen!
Now, who do you think will be a good conservative candidate that has a chance to win? Who can we really get behind?
You Mormon-basher, you!! :p
Just letting everyone know well in advance where this pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-Liberty, pro-constitution, pro-free enterprise, pro-America CONSERVATIVE forum stands.
I think Romney is a MINO (Mormon in Name Only). Does he stand for any of the Conservative moral principles of their religion?
Not only is Mitt a no-go for me. So is Palin.
We're not going to start supporting Obama now, will we?
"Hes gotta make it through the primaries first."
Exactly, which he won't. When Sarah enters the primaries, she's gonna blow all of the other candidates away. I think, besides the Democrats, even the GOP leadership is scared to death of her. Maybe because she actually wants to do things that "serve the people of this great country," as she once said???
The support for Sarah is MUCH higher than Romney's and I think that it's only going to grow as we endure more of Obammunism.
Palin is a no go?
Agreed. I hope you are planning to start a new party or something IF the GOP goes down that road. I'm with you 100% on that. What use is "Winning" if we're voting for the same thing just a different party name.
BTW, this may cause some freak-outs over in DUmmie land, as you know they are 2000% sure you're a RNC mole. LOL!
I saw Romney at CPAC this year. Sure he is captain plastic. You cant appreciate that until you see him in person. But, if he is nominee, I support him.
Of course, I would rather have Sanford, Jindal or Palin first....
No, and we're not going to support Obama light either.
Okay, good.
And why is that?
Like the laws of physics, Team Obama and the Democrats are defying the laws of economics. It is no longer political, it is academic at this point. The Obama chickens will come home to roost, and the outcome will not be pretty. There is a argument to be made that we should let Democrats take the fall for the consequences that most certainly will come.
The way I see it the country is right now one grand economic bubble. Obama is swimming in confidence, the public is enjoying this seemingly "enchanted" president, but like the dot.com bust and the housing bust, the party is going to end, and end badly. It all seems sooo impossible right now, just as the popping of the previous bubbles did, but this time it's really going to leave a mark. To be forewarned is to be prepared.
For me,yeah. What we need is a true, strong conservative with the stones of a Ronald Reagan. Sorry I just don't see that in Palin.
Thanks, Jim.
Right on, Jim!
I like the platform of the Constitution Party:
When the GOP sent that questionnaire out about how to fix the Republican Party. I said adopt the Constitution Party's platform...and stick to it!
Well, if you've read my past postings, you know that I wasn't a supporter of the Romulan. But, after four years of 0, I'm gonna be for "whoever" runs against him! I liked McCain, mainly because of his demonstrated loyalty to the military (something foremost for me). I'm hoping for David Petraeus to take up the standard and run.
I see it in her far more than anyone else we have out there with a couple of exceptions. Just look at how the media and ankle biters are going after her. If she wasn't the threat you describe, they would just ignore her. They have gotten to the point of just making up ***** they pull out of their *****s to try to smear her.
Instead of telling everybody who you don't want, why can't you come up with someone you DO want?
This obsessed negativity does nothing for anyone ... certainly not the conservative movement.
I'm with you! Watching Romney at CPAC was an exercise in stomach control. My husband and I tried to give him a chance, but he is the slimiest politician since Richard Daley Sr. His first words when he took the stage were to bash Sarah Palin (he's obviously scared of her). It was classless. Then he went onto provide the same stump speech he gave in the primaries. (all hair cream, no conservative meat)
If Mitt's in, then I'm out!
I thought Romney was better than McCain. However, I not so sure anymore.
I'm not liking any of our options. Where is our 21st century Calvin Coolidge? Or George Washington?
I'd rather look to build bridges with the Blacks and Mexicans -- who might be pro-life and take God seriously -- rather than the welfare-for-Wall-Street crowd that will pat us on the head hoping we stay in our place.
Bravo from a loyal soldier in the ranks.
Just added to the Freepathon.
Thanks Jim.
If Mitt Romney is in, I'm in.
No finer person and/or candidate.
I actually ended up liking McCain a little. He did not have the firmest philosophical grounding and he certainly wasn't the brightest light we could have hoped for, but I think he was basically honest and he would have certainly put the country first.
You're just a Mormon hater... You are filled with hate if you don't think that gays should be allowed to have joy in their lives... How can you live with yourself thinking the way you do... Okay, Okay, just wanted to see if maybe I think like a liberal I could understand them a little better... Ummmm... Nope, still think they're a bunch of empty headed idiots.

Tris (Woodley) and her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort; Carrie) are two of many youngsters who have reached the stage of adolescence where they must make their first big decision. We are in Chicago, after an apocalypse, where society has disbanded into five separate factions and they must make a choice; live in the faction of their parents or take a different path through life.
Before deciding, each candidate receives an aptitude test to show them which faction they are best suited for. Unfortunately for Tris, she is a mixture of all five groups; a divergent. Divergents are considered dangerous as they have the ability to think outside the box, and as such could potentially bring down society; as such Tris can't let anyone know that she is not like them or she could be in grave danger.
Main cast
Shailene Woodley (The Secret Life of the American Teenager (TV); The Descendants; The Spectacular Now)
Theo James (The Inbetweeners Movie; Underworld: Awakening)
Kate Winslet (Titanic; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Sense and Sensibility)
Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard; Jack Reacher; I, Frankenstein)
Directed by Neil Burger (Limitless; The Lucky Ones; The Illusionist)
Written by Evan Dougherty (Snow White and the Huntsman) and Vanessa Taylor (Hope Springs)
Based on the novel "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
Have you ever heard a film "bigged up" so much that you just have to see it? Yeah? This was it, I love The Hunger Games as I'm sure you'll know, and when I heard this was a more adult version of it, it instantly piqued my curiosity. What we actually got was a kids film, that made The Hunger Games seem like Battle Royale. I will admit to not being interested in reading novels, but I can only assume that Veronica Roth in the midst of reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins got side-tracked by the H.G. Wells tale The Time Machine, and somehow came up with this trite nonsense.
The saving point for this film is the on-screen partnership of Theo James and Shailene Woodley who surrounded by some cringe-worthy performances from people like Miles Teller (21 & Over) and Maggie Q (Nikita (TV)); the latter playing her minor role as though she is trying to help Neo within The Matrix.
People who have read the book will tell you about "the rape scene". This is a film for young teenagers (rated 12A in the United Kingdom), so naturally it doesn't happen, or even come close to happening. Perhaps the film could have done being aimed at an older audience, and been more violent with undertones like this throughout? That might have helped you to feel remotely sympathetic towards the bland characters. It certainly would have helped with the boredom factor! I was sat next to a couple of young girls who clearly were about GCSE age, and they even seemed less than enthused with the action on-screen, deciding that their mobile phones were more interesting at various stages.
I genuinely feel that there could be something that could have made the film work, and that was to allow the more senior actors a chance to carry the cast. The two most interesting characters could have been the leaders of the Erudite [intelligent] and Abegnation [selfless] factions: played by Kate Winslet and Ray Stevenson (Thor), but they weren't given anywhere near enough screen time to allow the political background to the faction system to come to the fore. I have to assume that this will happen in the next film, in a rather pointless trilogy, but I sure as Hell won't consider watching a second one! Bear in mind that I sat through all nine Hellraiser films, and all five Twilight ones, so I have a pretty strong tolerance for bad and unnecessary sequels!
Another disappointing aspect of this film was how little they took advantage of the wonderful layout of Chicago. It's one of the nicest metropolises in the world, and gets vastly underused albeit the scene during the capture the flag challenge where we see the iconic Ferris wheel on Navy Pier lying derelict does make for a really great image.

I have to disagree, as a fan of the book (currently underway with my second read through), this film was surprisingly good. Certainly not great, but good nonetheless. Definitely better than the nonsense that was City of Bones. There's a lot more intensity to the book, and more detail, but it was a close enough translation. No Harry Potter, but one of the better book to film adaptations I've seen.
I realize you think the movie should've been carried by the older cast members, but that wouldn't make sense for the movie, given that the book is all about Tris and her plights through initiation in the Dauntless compound, and hiding that she is Divergent.
Also, as someone currently reading the book for a second time, I can tell you that there is no rape scene in the book. Honestly, there's less than what the film shows in the book. And, taking away what the movies are like, Divergent has only a couple common threads with The Hunger Games – the dystopian setting, the fact that Tris and Katniss are strong, female characters, and that the competition during initiation in the dauntless compound minutely resembles competing in the hunger games.
Apr 10, 2014 at 11:11 pm
Oh, and Tris is actually only a combination of three of the five groups: Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite.

WATCH: "MALEFIFTYCENT" 50 Cent Spoofs Maleficent!!! #Hilarious
Posted June 6th, 2014 @ 12:45pm
Leave it to an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live for something hilarious to happen. 50 Cent was on as a guest and premiered his spoof premiere of his new Disney Movie, "Malefiftycent". It was a slightly more gangster version of Angelina Jolie's super popular Disney movie Maleficent. :)
The tag line of his "new movie" is "Get Witch Or Die Tryin" (in homage of his hit album) and he even says to Elle Fanning (Princess Aurora), "I've been shot nine times. I'm not afriad of no little white girl!"

I am working on embedding a MaiChimp sign up form on a WP site.
I have recently installed the MailChimp LS plugin. I am struggling with the CSS. I want to remove the PRE code (I believe). There are LARGE gaps of space at the top of my form. See here (http://www.geminipto.org/directory-sign-up/)
Additionally, I would like the labels and the form fields side-by-side, if not for all of the form fields, then for the check boxes at least. Any suggestions?
I have Firebug, and I can edit CSS. I was able to edit the font family and remove the default background color, easily. Help? What am I missing?
I had previously tried directly embedding the form using embed code which I got on the MailChip site, from "for my website" associated with the list I'm using. And that was very close, looked good, but a big problem in IE 10 with the text input text being cut in half...I couldn't see the bottom 1/2 of my input text. Ugh. Otherwise, I liked that a lot. Maybe that was the easier problem to solve?
Thanks in advance for any time you can share to help me back on track.

Contact company first, and record the call (you must tell them you are recording) You will get a very difference response than if you don't...they can be nice when they want to be:)
Document everything you/they did...names! dates! times! Results!
Email is good as it gets it in writing.Do not rely on this for cancellation, though. Copies of your email are in your sent folder. If they claim they "never got the info" you have a copy there.
When your CC bill comes, dispute with the Credit card company first. Tell them you have evidence that you cancelled and that they have not followed their agreement per contract ( refer to Netzero "terms" here and send a copy along with a print version of their website if it's a free offer they are not honoring. Mention beginning and ending dates of service and amount, and include print copies of emails).
Next file a complant with Better Business Bureau. It won't do much good, but is helpful for the next suggesstion. Netzero has a terrible record with the BBB, BTW :( Include a link to Netzero and their rating to the FTC......
FTC? You bet! The most powerful thing you can do is file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. This will lead to a class action suit if there will be one. Here are the links (the second one is for complaints):
If enough people do this there won't be anymore people like you and me who have been ripped off. They only get away with this because people WON'T take the time to complain. This will stop them eventually, and may get your cash (settlement too?) back.
