Today in Russian decadance
On this hot Moscow Friday, I bring you two jewels of Russian decadence:
One. Miss Russia, known also by her mortal name Irina Antonenko, will soon depart for Las Vegas to represent her country in the Miss Universe competition. In her suitcase is a custom-designed dress embroidered in gold, becrusted with sapphires and amethysts, and, yes, trimmed in sable fur. It is supposed to resemble the old tsars' crown, ye olde Monomakh's Cap. Total cost? $60,000.
Two. Roads in Russia are a disaster, but building them is a shitshow of corruption that makes you want to bring in a Soprano-backed construction crew to do it on the cheap. The best metaphor to date comes from Russian Esquire, which did a calculation based on the most corrupt corner of Russia, Sochi, where preparations for the 2014 Olympics are already under way. Because 30 miles of roadway in Sochi will set you back some $8 billion, Esquire did various estimates on what road surfaces could account for that cost.
The options are as follows:
- 6.37 cm of oysters
- 21.9 cm of foie gras
- 9 cm of Louis Vuitton handbags
- 4.7 cm of fur coats
- 13.85 cm of Hennessy
- 6 cm of black truffles
And now you know.

"Because 30 miles of roadway in Sochi will set you back some $8 million…" I think you meant billion (227 млрд рублей за 48 километров).
Zoops! Typo fixed! Thanks for the eagle eye, Karlin!In response to another comment. See in context »
No matter, you've interested me in this to investigate a bit myself.
It's actually an understatement to call it a "roadway" – the "Скмост" includes a railway, 50+ bridges, and 27km of tunnels over mountainous terrain – and has to be completed within 3 years in an area with poorly developed infrastructure.
I'm not saying this isn't a massively corrupt project. Its real price without kickbacks would probably be around 2-3bn $, based on similar construction costs elsewhere. But this kind of corruption (50-75% of project costs) appears to be on a level typical of the Russian road construction sector, rather than being in some uber-corrupt league of its own. (Had this been a simple road, as implied in the Esquire article, things would be dire indeed).
And I'm certainly not a shill for the road construction mafia!In response to another comment. See in context »
Maybe the Russians have succeeded in building some kind of super-road that has capabilities about which we Americans can only dream? Isn't that also a possibility??
Yes. It absorbs money at hitherto unheard of rates.In response to another comment. See in context »
As with any story about corruption in Russia, published in the Western or Russian liberal media, authors conveniently leave out some key facts. In this case, the reason why this road costs so much: because the cost includes buying out of land and houses. I guess, its equivalency would be building a road through New York's Central Park. Of course, that doesn't mean that contractors didn't steal a single ruble. Corruption in Russian road construction is appalling indeed, but the average cost of large projects is commensurate with European. I haven't even mentioned much more difficult climate and soil conditions in Russia.
When road building contract kickbacks reach up to 70%, other cost factors are marginal.In response to another comment. See in context »
And 70% is some state-set rate? Nobody can steal less than that?
Here's the comparison of M4 highway and some German and US highways, for example.In response to another comment. See in context »
Something I want to get your thoughts on:
In my view holding a massive international event like the Sochi Olympics is good for Russia precisely because it forces things like this corrupt road contract out into the open. Would we have ever heard about this if it was, say, a highway link between Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan? Or a new rail line between Chelyabink and Ekaterinburg? Almost certainly not.
When you're going to have the entirity of the world media crawaling about part of your country, as Russia will in 2014, there's really no way of faking things: either this road will get built and will function adequately, or it won't and Russia will (deservedly) be an international laughing stock.
I guess my point is that if (as certainly seems plausible) corruption and graft cripple the Olympic preparations and the Sochi games are a huge mess this will do FAR more to weaken Putin, Medvedev et. al. than anything Kasparov, Nemtsov, or Nezavisimaya Gazeta could cook up.
What's your opinion on the matter?
The Olympic preparations and the Sochi games will do far more to ENRICH Putin, Medvedev et. al. May be that's why they are so anxious about?In response to another comment. See in context »
Mark, I think this is a really interesting thought. And I think it's absolutely true. Look at what happened in Vancouver. Russia's failure in the ring, in a place it had always been the victor, laid bare the rot of corruption in the athletics system and showed Russians that you can't build sport with kickbacks. But then what happened? The Russian President, justifiably pissed, orders the Treasury to do an audit of the Russian team's preparations. He personally oversees that this happens and that it doesn't pull its punches. And, as you recall, it didn't. It exposed insane amounts of corruption — not paying for coaches to go to Vancouver, shell companies set up right inside the Sports Ministry, high school coaches training the Olympians, selling tickets to Russian fans for 11x their value, 97 breakfasts in 20 days for Mutko. And THEN what happened? Nothing. Is Mutko fired? Nope. Is any substantive change made? Ditto. Mutko is still in charge, showing everyone that nothing will happen to you no matter how brazenly you steal in broad daylight.In response to another comment. See in context »
"It absorbs money at hitherto unheard of rates."
Well, not quite. In fact, a very similar situation has been hitherto heard of. Known as the "Big Dig", the project to reroute the central artery of Interstate 93 into a 3.5 mile tunnel in the heart of Boston
took years to complete and cost, all in, $22 Billion USD. You could pretty much pave it a couple of yards deep in saffron for that, I'd wager.
Corruption? I guess there might have been a bit. So as not to be a linkpig, I haven't included the links, but if you follow the one above you'll find links on the sidebar to "Contractors plead guilty in Big Dig fraud scheme" (falsifying qualifications of apprentices to overbill the project – cha-ching!! $300,000.00) and "Father and Son Plead Guilty in Big Dig Fraud Case" (falsifying vehicle weights to make it appear more material was hauled away, to the tune of a quarter-million bucks). I wouldn't go so far as to say roadbuilding projects in the United States are as corrupt as those in Russia; that's certainly not the case. But it'd be hard to reconcile a cost of $22 Billion for 3.5 miles of road by saying asphalt isn't cheap. I'd point out here that these enormous costs meant other highways that desperately needed repair went begging, just as they are in Russia. Just before I finish pointing out stuff, I'll point out that the cost of Big Dig project was not mentioned at all in Russian news or by Russian bloggers.
I'm not looking to piss you off, because I admire and enjoy your work. I'm also not looking to make an argument that Russian roads are in fine shape, because that's not the case in general and some of them are beyond awful. However, continuous criticism and nitpicking over how much the Medvedev/Putin government spends on the Sochi Olympics is not particularly productive in the great scheme of things. They've got the money, and if that's how they choose to spend it, so what? When the locals that have to use the roads start running people out of office because the roads are impassable, then things are more likely to change.
It does not seem to me the point of this story was to compare Russia to the United States or the West. Just to talk about the ludacris decadance of Russian in the face of more pressing needs. The United States does not face so abject corruption but i'd say there are projects here in the states that suprass the Russians in sheer audacity. For example they spent $1.25 million dollars on squrrel bridges over a highway because on average 5 of these squrrels are killed per year. At least the construction in Russia will prove beneficial to its inhabitants.In response to another comment. See in context »
I'm sure you're right, Mike, although I don't know that the point was to highlight Russia's ludicrous decadence, either. The Olympics cost crazy money, 'way out of proportion to any benefit the host country might experience – except prestige. Russia seems determined to do well regardless the cost, but all they get is ridicule and sneering suggestions that the Olympics should be held someplace else where there aren't so many Russians.
I wouldn't necessarily agree either that the United States doesn't face such abject corruption. Perhaps if you'd said, "bare-faced, unapologetic corruption", I'd be onboard, because it seems to be in some measure a part of the social fabric in Russia. However, the freewheeling, venal, bold-as-brass corruption and profiteering following the invasion of Iraq has, I venture, never seen equal. Entire companies were stood up that did nothing at all except siphon off taxpayer money by the trainload. Respected, publicly-traded companies like Halliburton charged the U.S. taxpayer for three meals a day for soldiers who were dead, or who had never even been there in the first place, and nearly doubled the figure it was actually paying for gasoline. New trucks that got a flat were simply abandoned, because it was deemed too dangerous to try and recover them. A security company at the Baghdad Airport stole the forklifts that were already in place, painted them in the company colours, and billed the U.S. taxpayer for new forklifts. That's corruption on an absurd scale, by whatever name you choose to call it.
The aim is not to put America in an unnecessarily bad light, but to show how the western press constantly holds up Russia as a bad example, and twitters on endlessly about its shortcomings as though such a rotten, savage, despotic regime had never been seen before. Bad things happen everywhere. But nobody talks about them the way they do when they happen in Russia.
I doubt many of the Sochi inhabitants will benefit much from the new road, because most of them can't afford the facilities they will service. Still, it was a nice thought. Tourists will likely be the biggest beneficiaries.In response to another comment. See in context »
Cost of Vancouver 2010: $6 billionIn response to another comment. See in context »
Cost of Sochi 2014 in 2010: $33 billion
Did inflation suddenly get really bad?
Russia cash reserves on hand: $400 Billion
Canada cash reserves on hand: $56.027 Billion
Who can best afford to spend like a drunken sailor, to use a metaphor of which I've never been particularly fond? We came out of the recession better than most, but we're currently cutting all over the place to save money, and our reserves contracted by $816 Million in the last few months.
I understand what you're saying, and I'm not attempting to downplay corruption in Russia – simply to show that it is depressingly ordinary and widespread. Very few can be trusted with other people's money, and some just seem to blow it as a matter of pride. Kim Jong Il, for example, who in 1998 (when the United Nations was appealing for $600 Million in food aid to avert yet another famine) spent $20 Million on 200 new S-500 Mercedes limousines. How many people dedicate blogs to running down North Korea, or suggesting his people must be stupid to put up with him? I've never seen one, and as best I can tell, NorthKoreaPhobia is non-existent. Yet the guy is a gazillion times worse than Putin in everything except height.
I meant to point out earlier that your headline is misspelled. It's obviously a typo, as you've spelled the word correctly directly below.In response to another comment. See in context »
Oh come on Julia! I know your angle is to rip on Russia as much as possible, and God knows they often deserve it, especially in the corruption arena. (just today, I tried to help a friend file a police report in Peter so they could file an insurance claim for their I-Pod stolen on a bus, and the police demanded 1000 rubles for the report – yeah that's good for tourism)
But seriously, you can't possibly compare the total costs of the Olympics between Vancouver and Sochi without comparing the starting points and what was already in place, and what needed to be built. Try to have some context in your criticisms please.In response to another comment. See in context »
Julia,In response to another comment. See in context »
No-one is denying there's a lot of corruption in the Russian construction sector, but your inflation quip is a strawman and I think you know it. Whistler was already a world-class resort and Vancouver was already a world-class city, so Canada didn't have to do much about the Olympics except organize it. Neither can be said of Krasnaya Polyana or Sochi.
I wish the Russians finally stopped pointing to US or the "west" when it comes to corruption but compared other achievements instead. Yes, they "caught up and overcame America" in this one. Corruption is an absolute problem & does not need comparisons with other countries.In response to another comment. See in context »
Ummm….where, exactly, are the Russians pointing to the west when it comes to corruption? That was largely my point – you won't find any mention of the extravagant largesse associated with the Big Dig project in the Russian press (or blogs), or any cutesy comparison studies of how they could have paved it instead with the skulls of endangered animals or rare peppercorns from Borneo, or any of that diverting twaddle.
In my experience, which is certainly not all-encompassing, Russia points at western corruption when prodded by western accusations of Russian corruption, and generally not otherwise. Always willing to have my mind changed.In response to another comment. See in context »
Well, Mark, I could've said that I had mistaken you for the 13th Russian spy, but I'll be honest – I used a generalization applicable to the type of argument, but not necessarily to you personally- the comment just got in to your "branch".
Your last paragraph, though, indicates that you understand perfectly well the intended meaning of what I had said, so, perhaps, everyone reading the comments will be better off if we will not burden it with the excessive & unnecessary linguistic equilibristics.In response to another comment.

I believe Russians should engage in "tit-for-tat" blogging. Every time an American Russophobe like Julia exposes something corrupt or ridiculous going on in Russia, then a Russian blogger should post an equivalent expose about America. So attaboy to those ripping on the big dig and the Iraq boondoggle. Bring it on, Julia!
Just to clarify – it wasn't my intention to target Julia, who I do not think is a Russophobe, but the coverage of the subject in general. Her post exposed me to what Esquire & Other Russia had written, and which sensationalist media were reprinting without examination. Calling a road-rail-bridge-&-tunnel complex, a highway, is a pretty major twisting of facts that needs to be corrected.In response to another comment. See in context »
Quote "Only one blogger in our top ten — indeed, as far as we know, only one blogger on this planet — has the guts to openly blog against the Putin regime from a position on the ground in Russia. In the tradition of Anna Politkovskaya and Natalia Estimirova and Galina Starovoitova, it fills us with pride to know that blogger is a woman, Julia Ioffe, a woman born in Russia, raised in the USA, and now returned to her homeland as a journalist documenting the rise of the neo-Soviet state. Blogging as "Moscow Diaries" on the TrueSlant website, Ioffe boldly goes where no man (or woman) has gone before. Right onto Vladimir Putin's doorstep. Of all the Russia blogs in our top 10, Ioffe's has the most promise, is the most likely to move up should we repeat this exercise one year from now. That is, if she lives that long and can stand being in Russia for such a prolonged period. We congratulate Julia on her recent column in the Washington Post, which we republish in today's issue."

All right, Kovane. You got me. I hate Russia. I just hate it. That's why I uprooted my cushy life in New York to live here, in Moscow. Because I hate it so much. And to think that I had everyone fooled but you. Foiled again!In response to another comment. See in context »
why do you think someone like larussophobe spends an enormous amount of time blogging about Russia and arguing all over the Internet? It doesn't work as simple as that, I guess.In response to another comment. See in context »
I've been examining my own feelings and trying to figure out why Julia irks me so much. I don't really think it's an issue of whether someone "loves" or "hates" Russia. I personally love Russia, for example, I felt a humiliating pain when Russian Olympic team performed badly. But I am smart enough to know that my love for Russia is just an irrational, emotional thing, like love for a parent, and I fully accept that many other people in the world will feel completely differently and have negative attitude about Russia. And that's okay, really, it's their right.
So, what bothers me about Julia? I think it's her dishonesty. She passes herself off as a quirky journalist working the trenches, "just the facts, ma'am," but she won't come out and state clearly what her political views are, what is her political agenda? Does she see herself as a neo-Cold Warrior? As a missionary of western values? Before we even continue any discussion of corruption in Russia (which is a highly legitimate topic), I think we need full disclosure from her. That way we can put her research into the appropriate context.
@Julia >I uprooted my cushy life in New York to live here, in Moscow.
It should've become obvious by now that the Russians won't buy this – even if it were true, already because it means that for the author, her "cushy" life in New Yourk is by definition cushier than it can possibly be in Moscow. Besides, on a more general note, if one has the intention to *help*, she is expected to do just that – help others and do not try to lead them.
"I wanted more excitement in my life and..", "I thought I found a perfect combination of my career perspectives with my background and .." , or even "This "Russian" part of me had bothered me for years and with the Fulbright stipend I saw a perfect opportunity to comfortably sort it out once and for all.."
As for La Russophobe's praise…Does anyone always sure of her motives and is it wise to believe everything she writes – especially in her opinion pieces?
apologies – hit the "return" to soon – the quoted text in the middle of my previous comment was what would be an acceptable "motivators" & not a quote from JuliaIn response to another comment. See in context »
Okay, so Julia's on a Fulbright scholarship?I'm impressed. That's no small potatoes, those grants are issued by the U.S. State Department, and are hard to get: The competition is fierce, the applicant has to prepare a major grant application and propose an important project in the host country. (I doubt, however, if hanging around on a Moscow bridge, cheering on as anarchists paint penises, qualifies as a legitimate Fulbright project). I also note that the "Russia" section of the Fulbright grant recommends that the grantee go to reside in some region of Russia other than Moscow or Petersburg. (So they get the "real" flavor of Russia.)
I hasten to add, there is nothing sinister about this, this is a legitimate and open grant issued by the U.S. State Department. The purpose is to build a core of U.S. citizens who are fluent in foreign cultures. The hope is that the best of these students will eventually join the diplomatic corps.
For more information on how to apply for a Fulbright grant, see the link:
A couple of quotes from the website:
The foundation of a U.S. Student Fulbright Grant is the Project and the related components described below.
Consult the Country Summaries for country specific information.
What is the Fulbright Project?
• The PROJECT is the principal activity of a Fulbright grant.
• You will describe your proposed PROJECT or grant activities in your Statement of Grant Purpose.
• Developing a strong, feasible and compelling PROJECT is the most important aspect of a successful Fulbright application.
Your first step should be to familiarize yourself with the program summary for the country to which you wish to apply. The program design varies somewhat from country to country; some countries encourage applicants to incorporate coursework into a project, while others prefer independent research. Please ensure that your project design fits the program guidelines for your host country. Click here to view the Country Summaries.
It is important that you have adequate formal training for the study that you wish to pursue and that your language skills be commensurate with the requirements of the project.
Graduating seniors (those who will receive a bachelor's degree by the beginning date of the grant) and recent graduates applying for Study/Research grants:
• Will generally be expected to attend regular university lectures
• Should be prepared to supplement lectures with an independent study or research project
• Should describe the study/research programs they wish to follow in terms as specific as possible
• Should develop plans that can be completed in one academic year in one country
• Should not expect close academic supervision
Guys, what do you want from Julia? Everything you're looking for is in "about me" section of this blog. Haven't you read it? "For reasons of sentimentality and an abiding fascination with the absurd" Isn't it clear enough?In response to another comment. See in context »
a good question ..I cannot say for "we", but I probably, want Julia *not* to become the sort of "expert" in Russia Dr. C. Rice was, or most US-educated "experts" in Russia always have been. The ones, who don't understand or even feel, but simply "know" & conform.
Otherwise, I sincerely wish Julia success – and to have time to think, analyse & then write great blog entries or articles (which she definitely is able to do when she wants) – doing it without expecting the Russians to be thankful for the attention:))In response to another comment.

Sorry, grafomanka, I was too lazy to read the sidebars… Okay, I just read her "About me". Our Julia promises to blog in a "death_defying" manner, from a country that is almost as dangerous as Somalia?? Methinks the lady doth protest too much… and hath an inflated view of her own importance… Or maybe a martyr complex?
Besides, isn't her Fulbright grant almost over now? My understanding is that it's a one-year gig. So I guess soon she'll be returning to her "cushy" life in New York, where she can write anti-Russian propaganda for the Washington Post or Wall Street Journal.
yalensis you are being too harsh.In response to another comment. See in context »
Julia sees Russia as ridiculous and absurd. She picks up more interesting tidbits of ridiculousness and absurdity of life in Russia and exposes them here. There are certainly many absurd things in Russia and Russia is a very authoritarian country (and Julia is allowed to see things that way). But this blog is meant for foreigners and it seems not fair that all they get is (sometimes spiced-up) examples of absurdities. You could say Julia's at fault here but it's her own choice as a journalist.
The blog makes an entertaining read though… meh.
if you don't see the author's extreme bias – well I guess I can only recommend to start wearing glasses. You can't cover it up with some word juggling like "Julia is interested in absurdity of life in Russia". As well as she can't get away with her racist remarks by saying "Oh, that's OK. I meant not ethnic Russians but the citizens of Russia". Point to a SINGLE post, where Russia depicted in an even remotely positive way. I mean there must be some sweet eccentricities in Russia, right?
But on the other hand, Julia is a smart girl. We live in the bizarre world where the US President's adviser Michael McFaul makes statements which can be refuted by 1 minute or so of googling, or the famous nutcase Garry Kasparov has an op-ed in the WSJ.
So, she's moving in the right direction. Russia – United States relations are in safe hands. I already see her, shouting something like "How you can say that, I was there, I saw everything". She already began practicing it, by the way.
So, I don't want anything from her. If she can refrain from blatant lying and any racist remarks – that would be simply grand. If not, I can sleep at night knowing that. But I reserve the right to point them out in any case.In response to another comment. See in context »

To zed244: It's fabulous when foreigners want to learn about Russian culture. They should be greeted with hospitality and helped in every way.
I am friends with a wonderful African-American lady who, already in her 50's, decided out of the blue that she wanted to learn Russian. She has been studying very hard, spending her own money to take Russian lessons, reading books about Russian art galleries, etc. She has no ulterior motive other than an inexplicable (for her ethnic background) love for Russian culture.
Then there are people who want to "learn more about" Russia in the same way that a wolf wants to "learn more about" a sheep that it hopes eventually to consume…
It's an ancient distinction, as old as Alexandr Nevsky ("guest" arriving in peace vs. "enemy" arriving with upraised sword..)
In the modern world, enemy soldiers aren't always blatant (or honest) enough to arrive with an upraised sword. Sometimes they arrive with an upraised pen (or laptop computer). Their function is to ideologically discredit the host country so that when the real bombs start falling, American citizens have been so blasted with propaganda and so brainwashed that they will enthusiastically support whatever new war is presented to them. The brainwashing consists of legitimate, true facts along with exagerrations. (For example, Iraq, the demonization of Saddam, who truly was a bad guy in many ways; same deal with Milosevich and Serbia.)
The opponent country is demonized to the point that the ordinary American feels like, "Well, that country sucks so much, their government is dictatorial and corrupt, the common people live in misery, so we're actually doing them a favor by dropping the bombs on them…"

Rail travel from Wembley Central to Gatwick.
Wembley Central has cctv payphone phone shopGatwick, London Gatwick Airport, Gatwick, West Sussex, RH6 0JH.
Airports by rail, with Holiday Extras, who I work for. I am not making a commission on this (damn).
To take advantage of the best prices you will need to prove you are a leisure traveller, on the way to the airport, so you will need to give either yr flight numbers or yr holiday booking reference. I don't think you will need to provide this when you arrive at the station but you may be asked to give them on your travels from wembley-central station to the airport.
Going to gatwick airport on the train is great, you can take a nap, read a book (even at night), play a game, or just stare out of the window... The other restriction to buying these cheap train tickets from the station to gatwick airport is that there must be at least two grown ups travelling together. But another great benefit is that children go free. All children under 5 go free, and then one child over five but under sixteen per grown up travelling on the train to gatwick airport.
be sure to leave enough time to get to the airport early enough to eat, shop and so on, so check the times of trains from the station before you go. If you end up with spare time at gatwick airport you can always read or play a game again! As you have bought your train ticket in advance, you don't need to worry about the opening hours of wembley-central station.
the station opening hours: Monday-Friday 24 hours, Saturday 24 hours, Sunday 24 hours..

Almonds are synonymous with the region of Puglia just like hazelnuts are common to Campania This almond paste and ricotta cheesecake is simply sublime. The crust is made with store bought amaretti cookies so it is a snap to put together. You can also use leftover cookie crumbs.
Makes 1 cheesecake (9-inch)
14 amaretti cookies
1/3 cup whole almonds
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup melted and cooled butter
1 cup almond paste, cut into bits
Two 8 ounce packages cream cheese or 16 ounces mascarpone cheese or 8 ounces each mascarpone and ricotta cheese, at room temperature
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light cream
1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
Pinch salt
Preheat oven to 325F.
Whirl the cookies in a food processor. Add almonds and sugar and whirl until the almonds are in small pieces. Pulse in the butter until the mixture comes together. Press the paste into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch spring form pan. Place the pan on a large sheet of aluminum foil and crunch the foil around the outside of the pan. Set aside.
Beat the almond paste with cream cheese and or ricotta cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in the sugar and light cream until well blended. On low speed beat in the flour and salt.
Pour into the prepared shell and place in a larger baking pan. Fill the sides with hot water to come half way up the sides of the pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the filling is set. Remove cheesecake from the water bath. Cool. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Remove sides, place cake on cake stand and cut into wedges to serve.
This recipe is featured on Season 25 - Episode 2504.

Hi again Jean.
I was wondering if there's a new version of the plugin coming soon. If so I'd like to put in a feature request for more useful wrapper HTML. I've hacked this into this page on my development server but cannot hack the plugin on the live site.
I'll donate some money if you can make this happen soon.

A pigmented nevus is also known as a brown, blue, or black mole. These moles are made of clusters of pigmented cells. Most pigmented nevi are benign, but several features may indicate that a skin lesion may be something more than a mole, such as a potential skin cancer. A mole that bleeds and does not heal is a concerning feature. Other features that may suggest skin cancer include a mole that is large in size, growing, or has one that has irregular borders. Multicolored moles are also more likely to be skin cancers. Suspicious moles can be biopsied to determine if they are benign or malignant.

"Great airer - very blunt spike"
16 September 2015
The airer itself is very good indeed - it is easy to operate and rotates freely. My only gripe is with the so-called spike, which is very blunt and was the devil's job to fit into the ground. If it hit a stone, it could not push it to one side.

Teen charged with 'Columbine' threat
Student accused of AK-47 scare
Credit: Herald Pool
A Methuen High School student known by his classmates for bumming rides home and riding a skateboard in the school hallways is accused of threatening to unleash a "Columbine"-like assault with an AK-47 assault rifle and is being held without bail.
Jacob Butze-Maille, 17, is due back in court Jan. 4 for a dangerousness hearing after pleading not guilty yesterday to charges of threats to murder and intimidation of a witness.
"He made a very specific threat to another student informing her of his desire to quote 'pull another Columbine,' " Essex Assistant District Attorney Kimberly Gillespie said at the arraignment in Lawrence District Court. "He went on to say he would buy an AK-47 that week and shoot them all at the school."
Gillespie said Butze-Maille then threatened the 15-year-old girl to whom he confided his plan.
"He goes on to tell her if she tells anyone she'll be the first one shot," Gillespie said.
Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon said the girl showed great courage by speaking up.
"We really have to give kudos to this girl," he said. "It's not an easy thing to do, particularly if you feel you may be in danger, to stand up and come forward. We credit her with being a role model for other students."
Solomon said a school resource officer was the first person to respond to the threat and, after an initial investigation, determined it was credible.
"We did have concern that this was more than the average veiled threat that we may get from time to time throughout the school year," he said. "Not to say it would have come to fruition and occurred. We would consider this a dangerous situation."
Judge Michael Brooks agreed, calling the allegations "disturbing" and adding that there were no conditions under which he could safely release Butze-Maille to the public.
The teenager's mother was in court, but declined to comment. Prior to the complaints, Butze-Maille was living at St. Anne's Home in Methuen, which is a residential facility for troubled or mentally ill youth. His defense lawyer Jessica Thrall would not say why he was living at the facility or where he was living previously.
Methuen School Superintendent Judy Scannell said Butze-Maille registered for classes at Methuen High School last year. He was enrolled as a junior this year. She said she knew of no previous problems with him.
Three Methuen High students who knew Butze-Maille said he was a bit of a loner but was assertive enough to ask other kids for rides home. One girl said she recalled seeing him ride his skateboard through school hallways, which she said was funny but odd.
Scannell said as soon as school officials were informed of the threat they pulled Butze-Maille from class. He was placed in the care of an assistant principal who sat with him until the end of the school day. He was arrested shortly thereafter.

It is not every day that a striker bags five goals in one match, let alone that they achieve the feat in just over an hour.
But Lazio striker Miroslav Klose, who has scored 67 goals for Germany, was inexplicably denied the opportunity of netting an incredible double hat-trick and breaking numerous records as he was cruelly subbed off with 22 minutes still to play.
Coach Vladimir Petkovic not only infuriated the player and the club's supporters, but also every neutral watching the match in anticipation of an extraordinary sixth goal or maybe more from the ruthless marksman.
Klose's extraordinary performance in the 6-0 demolition of Bologna began when the 34-year-old opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. He then proceeded to grab two in three minutes to complete a first-half hat-trick, finishing off a counter-attack and then tapping in at the far post.
The Germany international was allowed a free header from Antonio Candreva's cross as he added a fourth goal early in the second half, and he was again unmarked as he turned in a Sergio Floccari pass just after the hour before Petkovic intervened, introducing former Manchester United and Everton striker Louis Saha in the 68th minute at his expense.
The magnitude of Klose's achievement was clear: prior to the German's effort, the last player to score five goals in a single Serie A game was Roberto Pruzzo for Roma back in 1986. But he was not afforded the opportunity of creating further history.
"If I scored five goals today, it's because of the team," he told Gazzetta dello Sport after being taken off to a standing ovation. "I'm very satisfied with my performance and obviously my goals."
Petkovic, meanwhile, was keen to emphasise the teamwork involved in helping Klose: "We were more clinical and we also put Klose in a position to score those five goals. Congratulations to the team."

I made a dev installation to test a theme I was making and everything worked fine. Then, I went back to my live WordPress installation and did the same changes to there. It was running 3.0.1 so I had to update it, first.
But when I tried to create sub-pages by assigning a parent when editing a page, I would hit publish and then the parent option would revert back to "no parent." No matter what, I can't get a page to stay as a sub-page to any other page.
I apologize if I worded this badly. I haven't used WordPress in years, but I thought I understood the basics just fine. If someone could enlighten me, that would be great. Creating sub-pages worked fine on my test installation, I don't understand how it doesn't on my other WordPress blog. The software was updated to 3.4.2 and appears to be acting correctly other than this one problem. Help?

Sheri from The Shades of Pink has just started a new homeschooling carnival called Homeschool Happenings, where participants will share some of the things they're doing in their homeschool each week. Click the image above to see more homeschool happenings and weekly links from around the web!
Like many other preschoolers, my 4-year-old Jemma is fascinated by letters. She started reading consonant-vowel-consonant words earlier this summer, but we haven't really worked on writing much yet. We're using Barchowsky Fluent Handwriting, and I like Nan Barchowsky's suggestions for developing prewriting skills in young children and focusing on gross motor skills.
Miss J likes writing in the air with her finger and making letters and shapes in shaving cream. Today I made a batch of homemade play dough using the recipe below, and we'll be rolling the dough into snakes to form letters this week along with our other work on letters, as well as using the play dough to keep Jemma entertained while I'm working with Isabelle.
It would work better to add the food coloring while the dough is still cooking, but we wanted to have several different colors and just kept kneading (and kneading and kneading) to work in the colors. Our "purple" play dough turned out sort of gray, but the girls have visions of creating elephants and dolphins with it so it's OK.

Skip to comments.R2000: Obama Holds Double Digit National Lead
Posted on 07/27/2008 8:01:27 PM PDT by Alter Kaker
A new Research 2000 national poll finds Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 51% to 39%, with Bob Barr getting 3% and Ralph Nader getting 2%.
These polls are swinging like John Edwards.
Who did the survey, likely German voters????
Ralph Nader 2%, what's this? Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party candidate.
Yeah, like Newsweek this will suddenly reset next week.
All I have to say is - Kerry 2004.
Nader's running as an Independent, as he did in 2004. He left the green party, my guess is because it's too "mainstream." (snort)
I'm sure the poll is skewed.
All that said, with the MSM functioning as Pravda West, it's hard to stop the triumphal entry, isn't it?
Prepare to be inundated by these types of polls for at least a week or so.
Must be a poll of Democratic precinct workers.
Sure doesn't sound like the results that Rasmussen got on Saturday.
Lord. Save. Us.
Obama will make an awful President.
http://no-bama.blogspot.com/ - NObama, stop the Hype and Chains candidate
Prepare to be inundated by these types of polls for at least a week or so.
When Obama polls ahead, they'll release a different one of these polls literally every half hour.
If, by some miracle, McCain gets the lead, the polls will stop dead.
I trust the AOL straw poll or Zogby the Arab more than this Bravo Sierra poll.
Rasmussen's latest polls has Obama leading by five -- 49-44
Gallup has Obama up by nine, 49-40
bull hockey
Polls can be and are easily skewed. The only one that counts for real is in November.
Other polls in individual states are showing McCain overtaking and passing Obama...and this poll shows Obama with a huge national lead.
This poll is nowhere near reality.
We know the media is in the tank for Obama and you can bet that many pollsters that serve them are also wading in the Obama water tank.
Could Obama be leading? Sure.
Is he leading by double digits? No frickin way.
It is time to irritate the neighbors
BS, enough said. Each poll they take gives him a bigger lead. Rasmussen has him by 5 points, Gallup by 9 and now this big piece of crap poll. There is now way 51 percent of Americans favor this phony POS.
Not this crap again. All Presidential elections are by state not nationally. If nationally CA, NY, IL would have too much sway in an election.
You cannot do a national poll on the Presidential election and have it mean squat.
Never heard of 'em!
It pains me to admit, but what do you expect? Obama's foreign excursion was almost flawless, meanwhile McCain was lost in the supermarket. Petreaus 2012 is looking better every day.
It's Bob Who?
What the article forgot to mention was all polling took place at fifty-seven graveyards across America.
A Garbage Poll.
Dems who buy this crap are only ultimately fooling only themselves, quite dangerously so. Obama may win, but not by ridiculous margins.
Now I see by the news articles about a week ago that Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party's nomination for President. What happened to Ralphie? Whose ticket is he really running on.
I considered him for awhile because I saw a recent program on PBS that showed Dem after Dem still seething with rage that Nader caused Gore to lose FL to Bush in 2000, setting the stage for "Unites We Stand" after 9-11-2001.
I've been holding my nose so hard, so many times since Reagan that I'm gettin caluses and scar tissue on my nostrils!!! I despise these mugwump Repubs more than liberal Dems simply because the RINO's should absolutely know better!!!
I dont trust polls much
All I know is I will be placing my vote to keep this POS out of office
BOBS.Push Poll.
Since Jul 16, 2008
Sure. Uh huh. Whatever you say.
Have you seen the "snob" graphic?
No details given in original article - when done? - adults, registered voters, likely voters? - sample size? - very probably a crap poll done to influence the vote rather than predict it........
The polls mean nothing at this stage of the game. Wait till October with its coming "Big Surprise" Then watch the polls.
His Afghanistan trip was a farce, ignoring troops on the ground for pure D photo ops. His trip to Iraq blatantly attempted to coop the PM into agreement with him requiring thr PM to issue a statement clarifying things.
He spurned our wounded troops, he consistantly waffled on and attempted to deny his own position on Iraq and the surge and misrepresent McCains.
he blatantly copted one of the most Holy Sites in Judaism and has imbettered manby of that faith over it.
His empty speech in Germany was laughed at and mocked by the SPiegel, and Germans who were in attendance.
Nope...I would say it was pretty flawed alright.
Suck it in.
The RINOs are nothing but political whores that are out only for themselves and have no beliefs or philosophy.
They are worse than democrats.
The perfect example is Pete Wilson.
The only way he ever decided how to vote on anything was to take his what's good for Pete wilson finger, stick it in his mouth, hold it in the air to determine how to vote.
Research 2000 was the third most accurate in state polling in 2004, behind Rasmussen and Survey USA. In 2004, R2K made predictions in 13 states, and in 7 Battleground States. R2K got 12 calls right, and 1 wrong, and was off by an average of 5.15 points. One of their final polls was the closest for that state ( in a Battleground State), and none of their polls were invalidated for being more than 10 points off. In the Battleground States, R2K got 6 right and 1 wrong, and was off by an average of 4.57 points.
EGAD. Will she be naming Dellums as her running mate?
Don't get too distressed over your vote--Obama's leading McCain by some 25 points in California. Our vote isn't gonna mean much, anyway.
I expect the "big surprise" next month, something to take out Obama and replace him with Clinton, along with a built-in reason for Blacks to stay on board. Something like having a "love child" by a White woman.
You must be reading the wrong polls! /s
You're both ignoring my qualifier of "almost". Obviously mistakes were made, but as far as perception, it did its job. Those of us interested enough to look behind the headlines were not as impressed.
By the way it's gonna get really tiresome if you people keep referencing the fact that I'm new here. I think you'll notice I've mentioned it a lot.
Perception, no matter how the liberals want to spin it, is not reality.
The reality was that his trip was pure, unadulterated political opportunism and tripe, rife with gaffes.
That's the reality and it is a reality that is catching up with him...as well it should.
The whole idea of these skewed polls is to persuade fence-sitters and herd-followers to fall into the Obama camp, under the logic that "everyone else is voting for him, so maybe I should too". Of course, it will work on some people, but as election day approaches and more of Hussein's convictions and past is exposed, such an approach by the MSM will have lesser and lesser effect.
Bob f**king Barr. God I hate that ACLU assclown.
They've got 'till October to bring in bin Laden. When they do, the euphoria will silence the left and tank Barry's pimpularity.
I expect the surprise next month to remove Obama as the nominee in a way that keeps the Blacks on board. I expect the next big surprise to be some of the stories about McCain's wife. The little nips and cuts on McCain will begin before long.

text: First thanks for that cool plugin. I do like the priority-function in it but actually I'm looking for a way to assign a specific icon to a post, something like an override. It's just that some posts do belong to the same categories, but one category is more important than the other one and vice versa. Would it be possible to implement something like a "special field" to define a specific icon for a specific post? That would be so brilliant! Thanks alot.

There is much to appreciate at and about Middleton Hall. It was never a palace but it shows evidence of several phases of English domestic architecture from the late thirteenth to the early nineteenth century. There is a fine Great Hall that is of Tudor origin, which makes a classic setting for weddings, for performances and for parties. The Hall was the home of some notable people and was visited by many figures from history. Included among these is Queen Elizabeth I, who certainly spent two nights under its roof after the festivities at Kenilworth in 1575.
More importantly it has a special place in the history of British science. It was here that the first ever scientific book on ornithology was written and the first substantial catalogue of British plants compiled. Some of its stories can be found by following the 'History' link
The grounds, featuring an SSSI including a nine acre lake, and a noted Walled Garden, are open to the public from Easter to the end of September, except on Saturdays. There is a small charge for entry and for special events. An adjacent Craft Centre is open from Wednesday to Sunday all year round.
Follow the links on the left for guidance on booking the Hall for functions, including conferences, parties and performances and for weddings. The Event Programme link connects to the programme of public events arranged at the Hall. Take a look at a two minute video tour

Converting to toddler bed
Chances are, your LO will fall out of the toddler bed a few times. If your crib/toddler bed is like ours, the guard rail that takes place of the front railing is really dinky. I suggest using two of them - one on both sides. Or what we did was place a pool noodle (cut to fit) along the edge if the mattress underneath the fitted sheet. It helps to keep them from falling off the bed.
My dd does fine in the toddler bed. There are times when she will get out of bed and come find me or DH and we have to keep guiding her back to bed, but to me that's much better than waking up to a thump followed by hysterical crying and finding dd on the floor after falling from the top of the crib railing.
Make sure lo's room is child safe in case he gets up in the middle of the night.
You have inspired me. I will be purchasing pool noodles tomorrow.
Although, the way my son's crib is shaped, the short ends are a few inches taller than the long ends, and I may string a noodle along the long ends at the top of the crib rail just to make it higher and see how that works to keep him from climbing out.
"Hallo, nice tomato!" "So pleased tomato, too."
Proud Parent of a Budding Maniacal Genius
Make sure you only have things you want lo playing with in the room. If you have mini blinds I suggest removing them and finding another option.
Ds has shredded his mini blinds, when we move we are going to tint the windows in this bedroom. That's the only problem we've run into.
We switched over a little over a week ago to a toddler bed. We also used the pool noodle cut to size under a fitted sheet to keep him in bed. He has managed to roll out of bed once though (he is a spinning little migrating starfish when he sleeps lol). We heard a loud thud, a short cry and by the time we made it to his room he was back in bed fast asleep already. We had to change our routine a bit for bedtime, now he likes to have a cuddle for a few minutes before he falls asleep whereas before we could do our routine tuck him in say good night and he would fall asleep.
Teach ~ Play ~ Inspire
We just changed ours today. Nap time went really well. He's still sleeping and went down a couple hours ago. He jumped out of his bed immediately after I closed the door, but I told him over the monitor to go back to bed, and he did. Then he sat quietly for about 20 minutes, tried to get out again, I told him to stay in bed, he did. He laid down after that and fell asleep.
Hoping tonight goes well as well.

Skip to comments.G-20 opponents, police clash on Pittsburgh streets
Posted on 09/24/2009 8:20:46 PM PDT by myknowledge
PITTSBURGH — Police fired canisters of pepper spray and smoke at marchers protesting the Group of 20 summit Thursday after anarchists responded to calls to disperse by rolling trash bins and throwing rocks.
The afternoon march turned chaotic at just about the time that President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived for a meeting with leaders of the world's major economies.
The clashes began after hundreds of protesters, many advocating against capitalism, tried to march from an outlying neighborhood toward the convention center where the summit is being held.
The protesters banged on drums and chanted "Ain't no power like the power of the people, 'cause the power of the people don't stop."
The marchers included small groups of self-described anarchists, some wearing dark clothes and bandanas and carrying black flags. Others wore helmets and safety goggles.
One banner read, "No borders, no banks," another, "No hope in capitalism." A few minutes into the march, protesters unfurled a large banner reading "NO BAILOUT NO CAPITALISM" with an encircled "A," a recognized sign of anarchists.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Watched it on the news all day. There was a large group of Penguins fans chanting "let's go Pens" carrying a mock Stanley cup. They were louder than the protesters. At $92MM for security, it is costing about $100k per protester and about $20MM for each broken window.
"G-20 opponents, police clash on Pittsburgh streets"
NOW I SEE! These are the way civil "opponents" behave, not like us rude, un-american, mobs. Now I know what to wear and how to be polite at the next townhall meeting...
The protesters are getting their voices heard, albeit in a violent manner. Every G20 summit has always attracted 'anarchist' thugs like these.
Are you happening to be a Pittsburgh resident?
Hippies aren't the only protesters present, anarchists are, so why not soak an anarchist with tomato juice?
But nooooo, the Pittsburgh PD robocops want to demonstrate their robocop brute strength.
Police fired canisters of pepper spray and smokeWrong ammo.
Did anyone else see the person with the American flag and the 'Don't tread on me' banner beneath run towards the walking hippies? They stopped on the sidewalk and just stood there.
...wearing matching outfits,
chanting slogans in unison,
carrying identical (black) flags.
Do they realize how foolish their movement is?
They are just using these idiots to bring on Martial Law/Control.
Pittsburgh closed Pitt, Duquesne, Robert Morris, Point Park, Carleton College, Carnegie Mellon and the Pittsburgh school district. This freed up a sea of more than 100,000 potential protesters within the city limits. They got 800.
It's so great that the left is non-violent.
Looks like an expensive staged show for commie news and socialists to me. They cover this but not a million people peacefully protesting big government. BTW the G20 has socialists in it as well. Mrs. Obama had dinner for their wives. Overlords come in all political persuasions.
Looks like the protesters are hanging in the Strip?
And the MSM hasn't called them an "Angry Mob" nor has Pelosi been critical of them either.
Anyone surprised?
Yes, and why?
There was a picture of a march Tuesday made up of "students, homeless people (!) and community organizers".
It didn't occur to the reporter that these "homless people" had to have been paid by the "community organizers".
I'm with the robocops on this one.
I oppose them [the demonstrators]
I happened to catch a "Let's Go Pens!" when the local news was showing film of the protestors and their signs. There, amid all the super-seriousness of the professional protestors, were Pittsburghers reminding everyone of what was most important in this town. Global warming and anti-capitalism be dammed - we want another Stanley Cup!
CNN got Tear Gassed:
They've been staying in abandoned houses in Lawrenceville/Bloomfield. I was expecting so much more violence ie the Seattle of years ago. I was driving by the 40th street Bridge to get home and was counting the protest stragglers. Guys with man purses... clearly not from Pittsburgh. They cleared out 1,000 prisoners from the jail to make room for these fools, but it seems they aren't too keen on being arrested.
I believe you are right, Unkus. The tea parties and townhalls have been peaceful, much to their disappointment, I'm sure, so time to initiate the riots themselves. Lousy, manipulative commies.
Hard to know if they are still causing trouble, but the "protestors" were breaking windows in other neighborhoods tonight. Local news cut off when it started getting dicey. People would not disperse, protestors changed clothes to blend in with Pitt students.
Makes one wonder how many of these protesters are part of
Zero's college volunteers that are working toward their promised degree and I would guess that the ones with their faces covered are paid protesters that were bused in. Don't
some of you freepers know any of the cops around this area
that you could ask a couple questions ? Mr/Mrs Zero is loving
all this because it's a small part of their overall agenda!
Brian Todd, CNN, when they tell you to leave or get tear gassed that means YOU LEAVE!
Pittsburgh G20 Resistance Project
Thursday, September 24, will feature a People's Uprising, a mass march to disrupt the G-20 summit. We'll be starting at Arsenal Park at 2:30 pm in Lawrenceville, a vibrant working class community in the city, and marching to the G-20 summit downtown. Our theme is "Power from Below, Not Impositions from Above." Our only permit is our feet and voices. The G-20 is in the house, throwing a party. Let's crash it.
Friday, September 25, we'll be working to undermine the G-20 summit by attacking their power, making connections to the local manifestations of their neoliberal agenda. The folks that gather in the convention center represent large governments that draw their power from collusion with powerful corporations, governments that draw their wealth from resource extraction and destruction to our world, and governments that maintain their forces through the direct violence of police forces and militaries. Without these structural supports, their power will disintegrate. The G-20 is in a house of cards: let's shake the table.
The action working group of the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project has drawn up a list of 100 potential targets, and many groups will be claiming a destination somewhere in the city. We call for these coordinated actions to end at 11:30 am in which we will demonstrate: we do not need to be together physically to be together in struggle.
We encourage people to form affinity groups with those that they know and trust, to have a familiar faces to stick with in the streets and people to organize and take action with. An affinity group is when you get together with folks who are on the same page as you about what kind of action you want to do.
this does not appear to be ending, just moving to new neighborhoods.
An agenda to drum up support for globalist G20.
The real anarchists were in South Central LA rioting way back in the day.
Judging by the sign most of them are carrying, it doesn't look like they're protesting big government at all. Does that say "Job for All" under the picture of Martin Luther King? I also see one that says "Healtcare NOT Warfare."
Sorry, I don't buy that I have anything in common with these clowns. I certainly have nothing in common with their fellow travelers whose idea of making a political point is trashing the property of their fellow citizens.
Looks like rain all day Friday.
The anarchists have a "recognized sign"? I don't think this writer has any idea what an anarchist actually is. Next he'll be saying they have formal meetings, and bylaws, and dues, and tidy up the area after their demonstrations are over.
I was actually thinking the same thing. As soon as the anarchists start throwing stuff, they get heavier stuff thrown right back at them.
I'm thinking a compressed-air-powered catapult tossing 20 pound water balloons (heavy nylon case) would do a number on them. All the photographers would get would be impressive splashes from the water balloon impacts, which would not look bad, but they would hit like hell.
Thanks for taking the pictures and sharing with us.
Neither do these "anarchists". They're actually Communists. The only part of government they want to eliminate is the part that protects private property and prevents their taking stuff via Mob Rule.
You mean the leftist media isn't telling us the truth???
Well yes, quite a few.
But nooooo, the Pittsburgh PD robocops want to demonstrate their robocop brute strength."
Why do you call the Pittsburgh PD Officers "robocops"? Is it because they are wearing protective gear? Do you really think the reason the Officers in riot gear showed up at an anarchist street protest was to "demonstrate their robocop brute strength"?
Good pictures and and interesting commentary.
>> Exactly. By throwing vegetables you not only break up the riot, but demonstrate your complete contempt for the people protesting. I mean being tear gassed has some status in the anarchist community. Being pelted with rotten fruit, not so much. Besides everything would be bio degradable and quite literally in the case of the watermelons green. By hurling produce at the protesters we are just doing out part to save the planet. <<
Throw Rotten fruit at the hippie commies...???????
Why not buy cheap mickey Dee's Hamburgers since most of those punks are vegan pukes. I would spend 20 bucks for 20 burgers to throw at them. Maybe throwing hamburgers would make them run away and disperse. We could cook up a large batch of beef and chicken broth (diluted a bit if course) and spray them with super soakers filled with it.
And of course you could get a bunch of lard and fill water balloons with it and toss it at them.
Libturds protesting/fighting libturds.... Does it get any better?
Pass the popcorn...and oh, add more butter this time.
Too bad we couldn't organize some tea party protesters to act as "Human Shields" by standing in front of businesses or forming human chains around businesses to protect the windows from these commie scum.
I would love to see a hippie freak with a hammer come upon a shop window protected by several of us hand in hand in front of a building with "Don't Tread on Me" T-shirts.
Of course politely ask the business owner if you can protect their business first so that you are an invited guest of the business. Explain that these G-20 protesters get violent and break things and you are doing your civic duty to help protect private property from these thugs.
Something like this, of course wouldn't be reported by the OSM, but at least it would be a feel good story for Talk Radio and FOX News.
I don't what all the comotion they are making is about. They got their man in the WhiteHouse and even as we speak and type he is doing their bidding.
All they need to do is give him a few more weeks and he will accomplish all their goals for them.
Of course; the media will characterize the peaceful, US constitution adhering tea party attendees as "dangerous right-wing radicals" while portraying the G20 protesters as "activists simply trying to have their voice heard".
The media and these commie rioters sicken me. I hope all of these animals feel the sting of rubber bullets, pellets, pepper spray and the business end of a baton before being shipped to cuba in a cargo container.
"Too bad we couldnt organize some tea party protesters to act as Human Shields by standing in front of businesses or forming human chains around businesses to protect the windows from these commie scum...."
I don't think I could restrain myself....I'd want to knock one into next week.

Robert Guerrero was at 152 Pounds With 7 Days to Go
by David P. Greisman
Robert Guerrero came in at 152 pounds this past weekend at a weigh-in mandated by the World Boxing Council, giving the sanctioning body's interim welterweight titleholder six days to lose five pounds.
Guerrero's weight was certified on Saturday, Nov. 17, by Rudy Tellez, according to information WBC official William Boodhoo provided to BoxingScene.com.
Guerrero will be facing two-time 147-pound titleholder Andre Berto, headlining an HBO broadcast on Nov. 24 from the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.
"We are still awaiting the weight of Andre Berto," Boodhoo said via email on Monday evening.
The maximum either fighter could have been is 154 pounds. The WBC's 7-day weigh-in requires fighters to be within 5 percent of what they must be for their bout.
The WBC did not require its usual weigh-ins done about a month before bouts.
"I received the information for this bout much too late to be able to inform them and/or to arrange a 30-day weigh-in," Boodhoo told BoxingScene earlier in November.
The fighters would have needed to be within 10 percent of what they must be for their bout.
Guerrero is coming off his welterweight debut, a unanimous decision win in July over Selcuk Aydin that marked the former 126- and 130-pound titleholder's first time in the ring in more than a year. The 29-year-old picked up the WBC's interim belt with that victory — Floyd Mayweather Jr. won the "full" WBC title from Victor Ortiz in September 2011 — bringing Guerrero's record to 30-1-1 with 18 knockouts and 2 no decisions.
Berto hasn't fought in more than a year — his last appearance was a stoppage of Jan Zaveck in September 2011. He was to have fought a rematch with Ortiz earlier this year, but that bout was canceled when Berto tested positive for a performance enhancing drug called nandrolone. The 29-year-old is 28-1 with 22 knockouts.

I applied for the position, not knowing what it was. I get a call the following Monday from GABBY, a sexy Latina broad working there. I assume she's there for that aspect. I drive 25 miles for a crappy 5 min interview. And then a couple days later, they invite me for the SECOND INTERVIEW, which is a basically a 2-plus hour pep-talk from this assertive military dude named Jay. They ask you to smile and take notes w/ funnies being interjected into the conversation from Jay. For two hours, all we talked about were STATS. Are you effing kidding me? This was basically like a scene out of 'Boiler Room,' with Jay being Ben Affleck. I left early for another commitment I had made, and was late to it because this guy didn't get to the point. All he needed to say was you will be peddling impostor fragrances.
As for the money, I read this rip-off report here and she's right: http://www.ripoffreport.com/Employers/DVA-Scentura-Larry-H/dva-scentura-world-perfume-beb6e.htm
They build it up to make it look like you will be making a large sum of money and managing a store and a team. Not really.
Their name out here is EAGLE MANAGEMENT. I couldn't find anything about them online. I guess for obvious reasons. It looks like they change their name so that you can't find anything about them online and that this was a pyramid scheme. They messed up by saying their boss' name, Larry Hahn. You Google that name, and there's a good amount of information that comes up.
So Phoenix people, if you were the ones in my class, I found information for you. I don't recommend it. But if you want to sit through this, then best of luck to you. I assume that if you work hard enough, you can succeed at this. But this is not the game for me.
