We are lucky enough to live on a farm and raise our own Dorper sheep and milk our own Jersey cows for the most incredible lamb and raw cream imaginable. Last night I made thyme lamb chops and show the technique of how to grill them in a cast iron pan. The thyme, raw cream aoli dressing was out of this world and the recipe is on my GrassFood blog.

Now that I'm reached the age where I can receive social security, I guess I'm old enough to be a crone. Being of age doesn't seem enough to qualify, however. I've always had an interest in herbs, growing them, and their uses, but of late I feel moved to learn even more about the making of remedies and using herbs more liberally in my cooking. Being handy with herbal remedies and such seems to be a wisdom I should have to be a true crone.

'True Blood,' Season 5, Episode 2, 'Authority Always Wins': TV Recap
After a mixed start to the fifth season of "True Blood," writers are back at it with an episode that is entertaining and actually moves things along. Well done, writers! You'll notice our column for What We Enjoyed is much longer than What the Show Needs to Work On. Tell us your favorite – and least favorite – parts of this episode in the comments, readers.
What We Enjoyed:
The introduction to the Authority. Chris Meloni is on the scene and Speakeasy couldn't be happier. First, we never knew we needed a Renaissance-style painting of Elliot Stabler (Meloni's character on "Law & Order: SVU") in our lives, but once we saw it we knew we couldn't be without it. (Or, in the immortal words of one Carly Rae Jepsen, "before you came into my life I missed you so bad. I missed you so bad.) Meloni seems to have sunk his fangs into this role very well, and our hat goes off to the costume design people for the perfect blood-red necktie and pocket kerchief.
A thought occurs to us: if Meloni, like the rest of the "True Blood" stars, is expected to couple up quickly, might we suggest bringing Mariska Hargitay on as a stray vamp or human? That way avid watchers of "SVU" can finally be appeased, having never gotten the satisfaction of a Stabler-Benson romance. Call us, HBO – we know we can make this work.
Andy and Jason's rapport. Andy asking Jason for love advice is possibly the greatest conversation to ever have occurred on this show. And just in time for Father's Day, too! Also, we love the way Jason is supporting his father-figure by taking away the V. Step away from that V, Andy, you don't need it. Good man indeed.
Related: Jason choosing to answer Andy's rhetorical question seriously: "I don't know. I'm close, I guess."
Steve Newlin, again. So Newlin has become the de-facto spokesperson for mainstreaming vampires now that Nan Flanagan is dead. One interesting takeaway from his speech is his on-air devotion to that someone special – a person he claims is a woman. Fascinating. Newlin can cop to being a vampire, but not to being gay. Keep going, writers, this is a good plotline. Especially when Newlin arrives at Jessica's house-cum-college party and offers to pay her $10,000 to hand over Jason. Their exchange is among the more delightful, because we were initially shocked at Jessica's seeming ruthlessness. Good to know she still has a semblance of a heart and won't give up her friends for money.
General set design. The Jack Bauer/CTU-like setting of the Authority's headquarters, Bill's black and white office in contrast with Jessica's blazing blue pumps, the ultra-violet lights in the torture chambers, all are aesthetically pleasing. Larger budget this season?
Pam and Eric's relationship before she's turned. Interesting he doesn't turn her straightway. More importantly, Eric in coattails! Eric in top hat! Also, Eric as savior – over a human. We're getting to "The Wire" level of nuance here when it comes to who's bad and who's good.
Terry. It only took the show five seasons to show the extent of his PTSD, so we appreciate the effort writers are taking now to shed a light on the issue. Scott Foley seems a little misplaced though.
Mrs. Fortenberry: "I'm going to bake you a pie!"
The Best Bit of the Episode: The invocation of Lilith/the construction of a vampire religion. While Speakeasy was obsessed with Harry Potter, we had trouble reconciling Harry and friends celebrating holidays like Christmas. What religion – or religious figures – were wizards worshipping? It was never explained. Here, we've got a very plausible and stimulating plot line about Lilith being a vampire and vampires created in her image. We fully expect to see "Lilith" trending on Twitter very shortly, and not just among feminist rockers longing for a festival reunion. Also, pressing matter: who IS that child sitting at the table? What are your best guesses?
What the Show Needs to Work On
Tara, Tara, Tara. We just FEEL for her at this point. She didn't want to be a vampire, we didn't want her to be a vampire, now she's here as a vampire and isn't too happy about it. We need a miracle for this plotline. (In case it's not clear, we were fully supportive of Lafayette's decision to stake her.)
Marcus's mother does not look old enough to be his mother. This will continue to bother us.
Luna is pushing the ball forward by foolishly throwing Sam out, but surely Alcide has more reason to appear in an episode for more than four minutes? Again, we're not thrilled by the pack politics going on here. Then again, puppies! (Emma as wolf).
Leave your thoughts in the comments. Personally, we're anxious to see Niall and Dermot show up at some point. Has the lack of fairies bothered you at all?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Gioseffo Guami
composed during the Renaissance period
Guami's life may have begun and ended in Lucca, but his activities in between were hardly confined to that city: in his twenties, he was in Venice as a musician at St. Mark's Cathedral (where Adrian Willaert was at the time also serving); and then, in 1568, he took up an eleven-year appointment as organist at the court of the Duke of Bavaria at Munich. After a stint back in his hometown, Guami moved to Genoa (ca. 1584) to direct the Prince's musicians, and then, in 1588, he was back to Venice and St. Mark's, now as principal organist at that most famous of Italian institutions. But, true Guami family member and preeminent Lucca native that he was, Gioseffo Guami's longest appointment was to the Cathedral in Lucca, where he played organ for twenty full years -- from 1591 right up to his death. Just why Guami left the prestigious post at St. Mark's to return to Lucca remains unknown.
Compared to, say, his beloved brother Francesco's small catalog of compositions, Gioseffo's extant music seems a veritable deluge. First and foremost are his many five- and six-voice madrigals (published in several volumes between 1565 and 1601). He, of course, also composed a considerable amount of sacred vocal music, including a volume of Sacred songs (Sacrae cantiones) for large vocal ensembles (five to ten voices), a Magnificat (1590) and several Latin motets. There is also instrumental music -- an organ toccata and a pair of four-part Fantasias key among them -- to his credit.
Gioseffo Guami was highly prized and praised by his contemporaries as an organist and a composer, and he seems to have been a worthy teacher as well, counting among his pupils the notable next-generation madrigal composer Adriano Banchieri. ~ Blair Johnston, Rovi

Jul 10, 2013Despite not being overjoyed with the cast of the game, there's little else to complain about with SMT IV. The gameplay mechanics borrow enough from previous entries to feel familiar, but at the same time there's enough new about the mechanics to make them feel fresh.
Jul 10, 2013Like a bottle of fine scotch, SMT IV won't be for everyone - but those RPG enthusiasts who can appreciate its subtlety and challenge will cherish it for years to come.
Jul 10, 2013Shin Megami Tensei IV succeeds on the merits of its outstanding demon fusion system and combat, even if its story and exploration are only fair.

Aug 7, 2013The game may not transcend its genre, but it's a great reminder of why so many us fell in love with role-playing games in the first place.
Jul 23, 2013The plot is full of holes, inconsistencies, and unbelievable character actions and reactions. There are some creative moments late in the game where SMTIV presents the alignments and philosophies in a fascinating, new way, but for the most part the plot, characters, and morals fail to come together as part of a coherent setting.

This game is very well presented and crafted by a team who really do know what they are doing. Anyone familiar with the Persona games will be right at home here as a number of the spells and Demons are found here. SMT4 has a wonderful level of detail and presentation. I have seen a number of professional reviews state that the game suffers from shoddy characters and writing but I am just over 20 hours in at the time of writing this and I am loving the story and diverse mix if characters, yes some of them are the stereotypical characters you expect in this kind of RPG but that really is not a bad thing. The difficulty curve in this game is consistently steady and providing you save frequently you should have no problems, just allow a little extra "grinding" from time to time rather than heading from quest to quest. Overall, I can't fault this game. It's worth owning a 3DS for this and a couple of other titles as you will get a large amount of play time from this title.… Expand

Yes, the characters were rather flat throughout, but the world built around them was deep and layered and I caught myself feeling real emotion in the story. Most games I play nowadays can't even make me laugh.

Surprisingly good graphics. Was a bit worried of the fps styled battle system, but I actually find the battles rather good and wasn't as bad as I thought. The spell effects is nice and challenging enough to keep you at your toes, with these 2 strong points, the fps battles are negligible (was never a fan of fps RPG battles...I wished it was fully modeled but it's not as boring in this game). Interesting and dark story line. For those who pre-ordered the collector edition, you will be given a walkthrough as well. This walk through helps out immensely as it also points out enemy weaknesses. Hard to imagine how many times I will be getting wiped if not for the walkthrough.… Expand
Jul 24, 2013SMT IV being my first entry into the MegaTen series (spinoffs included), I only expected a few superficial concepts: demon collecting, darkSMT IV being my first entry into the MegaTen series (spinoffs included), I only expected a few superficial concepts: demon collecting, dark atmosphere, and teenage/young adult main characters. I hope this review can make others who are newcomers to the series think carefully about playing this game.I am about 20 hours into the game, and I feel like I have seen enough of it to write this review. For those who are accustomed to this series, please be gentle as I am not an expert and am ignorant of many features.
The gameplay is turn-based, but has a lot of depth which lends itself to the variety of strategies which one can utilize in any given battle. Each demon has its own elemental affinities and ailment affinities, as well as the ability to learn nearly any type of skill through demon fusion. Such skills can be "whispered" (more on that later) to your main character, giving him a great assortment to complement your demons. It also allows you to mix things up on the fly if you're having trouble against a boss. Smirks add a lot to the combat and can occur via critical hits (via the luck stat or using a skill which is super effective). As far as I know, these increase the damage next turn for that character and defend him/her from damage if the enemy attacks. You have four characters which comprise your "Party": the main character (you), and three demons of your choosing. You also have a "Stock" with which you can swap out members of your party. You can upgrade your Stock to increase the number of demons you can carry, but I am unsure of the limits. I have currently upgraded to 13 slots in my stock. The demons in your stock earn EXP, but at a slower rate than your party members. This is just one reason why demon fusion (discussed in features) is so critical. The main character can use items, varying from basic healing items to items which mimic full-blown attacks, which helps characters lacking in elemental attacks. Your demons are not capable of such a feat unless they learn a skill which allows them to use items. You can "pass" your turn to the next character in your party. This is useful for many reasons, the most basic being to avoid using an ineffective attack.
When all is said and done, the most critical point of gameplay is perhaps conversing with demons. This allows you to bring them onto your team as allies. Sometimes they will steal your life, items, or MP, and won't even join your side. Other times, they will immediately join you after you have slayed their companions. You can even ask them for Macca (in-game currency) and earn additional XP for successful conversations.
Finally, this is a game of exploration. Exploration occurs in third-person and you will often encounter demons who will immediately charge upon your approach. You can avoid these encounters with swift maneuvers, but often times the XP is more than worth the trouble avoiding them. You loot treasure chests and unlock new areas through exploration.
Features (Menu-Based):
1) Skill Whispering:
This feature has been one of the most useful I've seen from any RPG: the ability to copy attacks from your demons. As previously mentioned, this gives the main character a wide array of skills to choose from and suits your needs for any situation. Each demon has a specific level at which they can whisper skills to you. Once you have learned the skill, other demons can whisper the same skill again to increase its potency and decrease its cost to use.
2) Cathedral of Shadows
One of my favorite features of the game. With it, you can do one of two things: demon fusion, or use the compendium. Demon fusion consists of choosing two or more demons and combining them to create another. Simple, right? Well, it's made simpler with the recommended fusions, but it is very in depth. Upon fusion, the parents provide skills to pass down to the product. This allows a huge amount of variety in the skillsets of the demon you're producing. Because you can keep fusing demons over and over again, you can get the exact skills you want on any given demon. The demon compendium allows you to acquire the demons you've aligned yourself with, something which I have used a few times after fusion to get back the parent demons.
3) Character Customization
Like other RPGs, you can outfit your main character with gear possessing elemental affinities and special properties. You can also specify which stats you want to specialize in after leveling up.
4) Apps
Apps are paid for by leveling up your character to earn App Points. You can spend these on passive buffs. Some of these include increasing your stock capacity, the ability to ask for Macca from demons, and increasing the stat points a demon earns upon leveling up. There are a TON of apps.
I have never been so enthralled by a RPG. I've played my fair share, but this is the first where the gameplay truly grabs me. It is a deep and rewarding game, with beautiful presentation and a wealth of variety in strategy.… Expand

The graphics in this game is just so...dull and dark. I guess that's what you expect out of a deep game after all though, haha. Maybe that's because I tend to like more happier-themed and colorful-schemed games.It really doesn't live up to the standards of 3DS graphics nowadays, and the graphics it currently has is not interesting at all. Take TWEWY for example. It may have had edgy graphics, but at least it was presented in a fun and showy way. The battle system was rather boring as well, and I found no interest in the fusion system. I traded in this game after having made several attempts to play SMTIV. I just couldn't get into it. Oh well.
This is coming from the point of view of someone who has never played SMT games before, might I add in. So my review is kind of towards the gamers in the same position as well.… Expand

Was the community of Jesus merely an offshoot of Judaism?
Sharing the Word Archive
Today's Reading
Acts 15:1-6
Paul and Barnabas had concluded from their missionary experiences that you didn't have to be circumcised and observe Jewish law to be saved. Gentiles could belong and remain Gentiles. But not everybody agreed. Some who had come to Antioch from Jerusalem claimed that circumcision and the observance of Jewish law were essential for salvation.
The question was remanded to the apostolic authorities in Jerusalem. Some Pharisee believers there were insisting that you had to be a Jew or become a Jew in order to be a follower of Jesus.
This insistence threw the Church into bewilderment. Was the community of Jesus merely an offshoot of Judaism or something that had a nature and life of its own? The community of faith stood at a crossroads.

A wise friend of mine once said that aioli is just a rich man's mayonnaise. Mixing things into mayo makes it seem gourmet and fancy, so I almost called this post "Sweet potato fries with maple aioli." But, then I remembered, sometimes it's better to keep things simple. Sliced sweet potatoes are tossed in oil and spices and roasted until crisp, then dipped in a subtly sweet maple mayo. Simple does it.
Sweet potato fries with maple mayo
For two
2 sweet potatoes
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp Herbs de Provence, or a mixture of sage, basil, and thyme
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp maple syrup
Dash of cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 425F. Clean sweet potatoes and wipe dry. Slice into fry shapes and toss with oil and herbs. Roast for about an hour, flipping a few times throughout, until potatoes are browned and crispy.
Mix mayo, maple syrup and cayenne to make dipping sauce.

Berlin composer Hannes Lingens' Four Pieces for Quintet contains realizations of four of Lingens' graphic scores as performed by Koen Nutters and Derek Shirley on double basses, Johnny Chang on viola, Michael Thieke on clarinet, and Lingens on accordion. The scores, which happily are included with the release, are elegantly simple designs consisting of rectangles and squares of four different colors plus white, arranged in five rows. For this performance each color was associated with a tone, to be held for a length of time presumably varying with the length of the square or rectangle in which the color occurs. The duration of each of the four realizations was set at five minutes.
The music that results from these performances is pure harmony; despite the instrumental variety had by mixing reeds and bowed strings, timbre comes across as something of a neutral value. Each musician plays long tones or pauses which overlap in such a way that chords of varying complexity and length arise and mutate. For example, the first of the quintets on the release, No. 2, has a predominantly lighter, consonant sound built on major thirds. No. 3 is more discordant, featuring minor seconds, while No. 4 mixes consonances and dissonances, with pitches held against one another in an unresolved tension eventually giving way to a startling ending on a major chord.

Paulie's is easy to spot while you're cruising down West Upper Ferry Road, though this big white house with purple shutters stands out for more reasons than one. Let's start with the authentic Italian menu, then move onto the centuries of history:
• $35 for $70 to spend on food and drink (Sunday through Thursday)
• $39 for $70 to spend on food and drink (Friday and Saturday)
• Salad, pasta, seafood, and entrées like the strip steak marsala rule the menu
From Inn to Speakeasy to Resto
The lovely building that houses Paulie's was built back in the 1860s, starting out as an inn before becoming a well-known speakeasy during Prohibition. Recently, it was transformed into an Italian restaurant that brims with lasagna smothered in homemade sauce, chicken or veal cooked in seven different ways, and pan-seared crab cakes. You can even sit out on the porch while tasting apps like spadini -- provolone-stuffed bread topped with anchovy cream and drizzled with white wine garlic sauce.

Name: Mario Balotelli
Age: 23
Position: Striker
Nationality: Italy
Club: AC Milan
Price: £20 – £25 million
Why they should avoid him?
Although Mario Balotelli is a prominent goal scorer, Arsene Wenger will find it hard to keep a lid on his outbursts that have affected his game in the past. A return to England can actually bring out the worst in him since he and the English media aren't really a fan of one another. Wenger doesn't seem to be the type of manager who can keep a firm eye on the 23-year-old.

We were told that battery acid flowed over and ate the main wiring harness, possibly down to the transmission, and a bad circuit but did not know which one. They would not be able to tell which circuit was bad until the wiring harness was fixed. We were asked to pay an additional $400 diagnostic fee to see exactly how bad it was. This fee would not apply to parts and labor. We were not given any estimate as to how much it was even likely to be after the diagnostic even after being told the wiring harness was bad.
Could not afford what was potentially a very high repair bill and found another mechanic to take it to, telling him the problem. The van was inspected for battery acid flowing down the wiring harness and to what extent.
There was No battery acid. No corrosion, the wires were fine. That was not the problem.
Beaman lied about the problem, wanted additional diagnostic fees after we were told what the problem was and could not even been given an estimate.
I would take your vehicle to another dealership and not even bother with this one.

Kindof pricey but if you dont like rust in your engine bay worth it.
Also your local autozone and the like can often do some diagnostics for free.
And you might wanna check for recalls on your vehicle. Chrysler had alot of tranny recalls in the 90s and I think most qualify for a free fix.(not sure if theres a time limit) You can call up a stealer and give them the vin #, and if theres a recall they will be more than happy to schedule you in, because they get a kickback for recall work.
good luck

From Welfare to Work
From Welfare to Work appears at a critical moment, when all fifty states are wrestling with tough budgetary and program choices as they implement the new federal welfare reforms. This book is a definitive analysis of the landmark social research that has directly informed those choices: the rigorous evaluation of programs designed to help welfare recipients become employed and self-sufficient. It discusses forty-five past and current studies, focusing on the series of seminal evaluations conducted by the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation over the last fifteen years.
Which of these welfare-to-work programs have worked? For whom and at what cost? In answering these key questions, the authors clearly delineate the trade-offs facing policymakers as they strive to achieve the multiple goals of alleviating poverty, helping the most disadvantaged, curtailing dependence, and effecting welfare savings. The authors present compelling evidence that the generally low-cost, primarily job search-oriented programs of the late 1980s achieved sustained earnings gains and welfare savings. However, getting people out of poverty and helping those who are most disadvantaged may require some intensive, higher-cost services such as education and training. The authors explore a range of studies now in progress that will address these and other urgent issues. They also point to encouraging results from programs that were operating in San Diego and Baltimore, which suggest the potential value of a mixed strategy: combining job search and other low-cost activities for a broad portion of the caseload with more specialized services for smaller groups.
Offering both an authoritative synthesis of work already done and recommendations for future innovation, From Welfare to Work will be the standard resource and required reading for practitioners and students in the social policy, social welfare, and academic communities.

ROCHESTER -- Committed to recycling and going green, Saint Mary Academy Student Council members visited and learned about Waste Management's Operation in Rochester on Oct. 29.
Students were briefed on Waste Management's history, purpose and goals and then were led on a tour of the facilities -- identifying both landfills, potential land fills, dump sites and locales for recycling of energy and goods.
Saint Mary Academy Student Council received Foster's GoingGreen Award in May of 2012 and returned to their school to promote environmental awareness, to educate their classmates about what and how to recycle and to encourage green living.

Skip to comments.Pulling the Curtain on Palin
Posted on 09/09/2008 7:27:06 AM PDT by TexasCajun
John McCain's campaign acknowledged this weekend that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be vice president or president of the United States.
Of course, McCain's people said no such thing. But their actions told you all you needed to know.
McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden all subjected themselves to tough questioning on the regular Sunday news programs. Palin was the only no-show. And it's not just the Sunday interviews. She has not opened herself to any serious questioning since McCain picked her to be next in line for the presidency.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
But heres a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: Im not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - Im going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Seems like Obama didn't do so hot, E.J. - two signficant gaffes. Maybe he needs to take a break and bone up with his handlers.
E. J. Dionne Jr. acknowledged in this piece that he's a biased piece of ........
Liberal Media: "whine, whine & whine"
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
poor media, Palin is not at their beckon call.
To think they spent all their time in the last few months digging dirt on Romney, Huckabee, and others only to have all their work blown away as Palin is the person who is running with McCain
the media are acting like little children who doesn't want to share a toy
What a load of horse manure.. I read that Biden waited at least 12 business days after being nominated before his first appearance on a TV News Show, Palin, only 8. (numbers may be wrong, but that was the basic jist.)
Palin was all over the place Sunday, speaking to tens of thousands of people. The media is very egotistical in thinking she must speak to them to be vetted.
So in E.J.'s world, the primary role of the President is to go on Sunday talk shows. And he's lecturing US about Palin's readiness?
She's brushing up on national and international issues. At the moment, she is FAR more valuable on the campaign trail, drawing large crowds and raising $$$.
Yes, E.J. and your actions have told us all we need to know about you, as well.
Oh, never mind, I saw this was the Washington Compost.. the paper that has pushed out half the smears on Palin with no fact checking.. they've already embarrassed themselves by showing they don't vet their own stories.
The MSM are like Obama voters
out of touch with us normal average hard working folk.
They are so far up their own arse they can't even see the light anymore, just like the move on ,. org crowd
Dear Mr. E. J. Dionne Jr.,
Sarah is out getting to know the people of America and busy reading up on how to "field dress" a jackass!
They are seething that Palin has yet to pay homage and profess fealty to the elite media.
My vote: Let them eat static.
Since I refuse to watch Obambi on ANYTHING — let's review the tough questions he should have been asked:
1. Why do you adamantly refuse to release your birth certificate?
2. Why have you not authorized the release of the Annenburg records?
3. Why have you not repudiated the actions of your friend and political ally William Ayers?
4. Why did you vote "Present" more than 100 times in your tenure as a State Senator?
Hardball my rosey Irish bum.
Why do some liberals in the MSM keep pushing this story that McCain did not go through a thorough vetting process with Sarah Palin? Isn't talk of the vetting of veep candidates "inside the Beltway" stuff that average voters don't care about? Do these journalists from inside the Beltway really think that on election day, some voters will have doubts about the McCain/Palin ticket because the vetting wasn't done the way the liberals would have wanted it done????????
Well, let's keep in mind Sarah and McCain have to be on the same page when it comes to foreign policy matters, John McCain's record and statements are looong and it will take time to learn it all.
And let's be blunt Dionne is one of those DC Insider Types who hates Christians and does a great Barney Frank imitation...
Let me set the questions for Zer0bama, I'll show you tough questioning.
we'll start with 0be outlining the top 10 changes he's effected during his legislative time (1. Voted present >100 times. 2. ....., etc)
Is 0be familiar with the sound of crickets chirping (would make a great ad)?
EJ's panties are bunched, Big Time. This talking point will be moot within the week. McCain's camp is playing the presstitutes like a fiddle—generate criticism and press and let the interest build. Then, unleash Sarah in Alaska. A Schmidt Storm is brewing. Oh, and ABC can't refu$e the rating$ opportunity for obviou$ rea$on$ with $uch an exclu$ive..
Sarah gave ABC two days. Obambi gave BOR 30 mins. Yes, a curtain does need to be pulled...the one made of wool that EJ was trying to pull over our eyes.
Did you know that Joe Biden has been on Meet The Press 41 times in his career?
All whine, no cheese.
Dionne: Kiss my ring, Sarah.
Sarah: Kiss my moose, E.J.
Where is the BARF alert?
Why dosen't the Washed-up-Post admit that Obama is not prepared to be president?
Operational Art dictates you to fight the fight you want...not the one orchestrated by outside sources. She'll meet these clowns on she and John's terms and not a minute sooner. I think it was a brilliant move to withhold her last weekend. Helps to put those POS's in their place.
I would like to know where it says that anyone has to sit down with the media. I hope Gov. Palin continues to refuse to let them tear her down. She has no obligation to let them interview her. The American people already know her.
Wouldn't you think that with her son being deployed to Iraq Thursday and the fact that she needs to get back to Alaska to put everything in order have something to do with it? First they say she should be a mother and now say she shouldn't.
Dionne's theme-song: "We're on the roooooad to noooowhere...."
The fact that America does not agree with him drives him nuts. But he cannot recognize the facts in front of him. He would have to recognize that his whole, public career was a fraud.
Dionne is fast approaching the end of a long, complicated, and failed career. Of course he has is panties in a bunch. Poor dear.
Congressman Billybob
Tenth in the ten-part series, "The Owner's Manual (Part 10) -- The Remaining Amendments"
The media knows they can't beat McCain and their guy Obama is a loser so they at least want a pound of flesh and an opportunity to personally attack Palin.
It won't happen, she will pick and choose and the whiners can continue to whine.
I can't remember the last time I watched an entire Sunday morning political show. It might have been in the 1970's, before my TV had a remote control.
The MSM absolutely hates that which it cannot control.
"E. J. Dionne Jr. acknowledged in this piece that hes a biased piece of ...."
I don't recall EJ complaining that Obamachev avoided Fox.
And just imagien the serioous questsion she would have faced this weekend...
Ms Palin, are you willing to have your children's DNA tested?
Ms Palin, did your daughter's boyfriend's condom break or was he not using one?
Ms Palin why did you CUT FUNDING for pregnant teenagers?
Ms Palin, "some say" you are in the pocket of big oil...
Ms Palin can you raise 5 children and still have TIME to be the VP?
yes, we would have gotten lot of serious questions on serious issues raised thus far by the drive-by media
It's time to Stand Up and Fight! against this left-wing trash and send the Democrats and liberals straight back to the gates of Hell from which they emerged!
That's exactly what she's doing. She's basically letting the MSM know that they're going the way of the dinosaur and aren't worth her time.
I guess that's a great reaon to spend your time on the campaign trail and not on talking head shows. 41 times and people still don't like and won't vote for Biden, it's a waste of time in an election and only satisfies personal ego, which BYEDONE needs constant massaging because he will NEVER be elected to higher office.
scarbouough is still pissed he was played by the mccain camp.
How many of these talking hairstyles are just terrified they might get played the way reagan played the media.
If nobody pays attention to the MSM personalities, why are they paid so much?
When last seen, our hero journalist was knee deep and digging in a room full of horse$hit saying, "There's just gotta be a pony in here somewhere."
Dilbert San Diego wrote:

Was he sober at any of them?
'..the buildup to the Iraq war, the Bush administration and its supporters savaged the patriotism of many who raised questions about its strategy and its plans.'
I don't recall this. Anyone?
I think this is an out and out lie.
Sarah Palin shall appear on the "talking heads" shows in good time. In fact, she has already been interviewed by one of the lesser lights, Glenn Beck, BEFORE she was named the Vice President candidate on the McCain ticket.
In the world of "Gotcha" interviews, with their smash-mouth, gut-knifing, take-no-prisoners tactics applied selectively on the various political luminaries, depending on whether they are "worthy" or not, it is better that Sarah Palin appear so full of grace and fair of face, they dare not invade her space.
Given a few more weeks of exposure of the voting public at large to Sarah Palin, even Keith Olbermann would have to treat her with kid gloves and in an obsequious and subservient manner.
If he would ever get the chance.
I've got news for this little panty waste, Until Obama & Obiden face Rush Limbaugh on his show they haven't faced any 'tough questions'. And then there's Ann Coulter, haven't faced her either, or Laura Ingraham, the list goes on.........
Is that a man?
"Websters: Elitist Doofusitis"
LOL. Maybe, E.J., Sarah was busy taking the message to the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
See, here's the deal: the PEOPLE vote...not journalists. So your self-important Sunday talk shows are only useful if the candidate thinks they're useful.
You D.C.-laden smart asses don't get to decide if your show is important enough to warrant a visit from the next V.P.
Have I made myself clear?

Quick GuideUlcerative Colitis Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
What causes ulcerative colitis?
The cause of ulcerative colitis is not known. To date, there has been no convincing evidence that it is caused by infection or is contagious.
Ulcerative colitis likely involves abnormal activation of the immune system in the intestines. This system is supposed to defend the body against harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other foreign invaders. Normally, the immune system is activated only when the body is exposed to harmful invaders. In patients with ulcerative colitis, however, the immune system is abnormally and chronically activated in the absence of any known invader. The continued abnormal activation of the immune system causes chronic inflammation and ulceration portions of the large intestine. This susceptibility to abnormal activation of the immune system is genetically inherited. First degree relatives (brothers, sisters, children, and parents) of patients with IBD are therefore more likely to develop these diseases.
There have been multiple studies using genome wide association scans investigating genetic susceptibility in ulcerative colitis. These studies have found there to be approximately 30 genes that might increase susceptibility to ulcerative colitis including immunoglobulin receptor gene FCGR2A, 5p15, 2p16, ORMDL3, ECM1, as well as regions on chromosomes 1p36, 12q15, 7q22, 22q13, and IL23R. At this early point in the research, it is still unclear how these genetic associations will be applied to treating the disease, but they might have future implications for understanding pathogenesis and creating new treatments.
What are the symptoms of ulcerative colitis?
Common symptoms of ulcerative colitis include rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, but there is a wide range of symptoms among patients with this disease. Variability of symptoms reflects differences in the extent of disease (the amount of the colon and rectum that are inflamed) and the intensity of inflammation. Generally, patients with inflammation confined to the rectum and a short segment of the colon adjacent to the rectum have milder symptoms and a better prognosis than patients with more widespread inflammation of the colon. The different types of ulcerative colitis are classified according to the location and the extent of inflammation:
- Ulcerative proctitis refers to inflammation that is limited to the rectum. In many patients with ulcerative proctitis, mild intermittent rectal bleeding may be the only symptom. Other patients with more severe rectal inflammation may, in addition, experience rectal pain, urgency (sudden feeling of having to defecate and a need to rush to the bathroom for fear of soiling), and tenesmus (ineffective, painful urge to move one's bowels caused by the inflammation).
- Proctosigmoiditis involves inflammation of the rectum and the sigmoid colon (a short segment of the colon contiguous to the rectum). Symptoms of proctosigmoiditis, like that of proctitis, include rectal bleeding, urgency, and tenesmus. Some patients with proctosigmoiditis also develop bloody diarrhea and cramps.
- Left-sided colitis involves inflammation that starts at the rectum and extends up the left colon (sigmoid colon and descending colon). Symptoms of left-sided colitis include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, weight loss, and left-sided abdominal pain.
- Pancolitis or universal colitis refers to inflammation affecting the entire colon (right colon, left colon, transverse colon and the rectum). Symptoms of pancolitis include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, weight loss, fatigue, fever, and night sweats. Some patients with pancolitis have low-grade inflammation and mild symptoms that respond readily to medications. Generally, however, patients with pancolitis suffer more severe disease and are more difficult to treat than those with more limited forms of ulcerative colitis.
- Fulminant colitis is a rare but severe form of pancolitis. Patients with fulminant colitis are extremely ill with dehydration, severe abdominal pain, protracted diarrhea with bleeding, and even shock. They are at risk of developing toxic megacolon (marked dilatation of the colon due to severe inflammation) and colonic rupture (perforation). Patients with fulminant colitis and toxic megacolon are treated in the hospital with potent intravenous medications. Unless they respond to treatment promptly, surgical removal of the diseased colon is necessary to prevent colonic rupture.
While the intensity of colon inflammation in ulcerative colitis waxes and wanes over time, the location and the extent of disease in a patient generally stays constant. Therefore, when a patient with ulcerative proctitis develops a relapse of his or her disease, the inflammation usually is confined to the rectum. Nevertheless, a small number of patients (less than 10%) with ulcerative proctitis or proctosigmoiditis can later develop more extensive colitis. Thus, patients who initially only have ulcerative proctitis can later develop left-sided colitis or even pancolitis.

Sweet Fall Snack: Maple-Butter Spiced Popcorn
We think this popcorn is best right after it's made, while still warm and crisp. If you want to make it ahead, spread the freshly made popcorn out on a sheet pan until it's completely cooled and then store it in air-tight containers.
Maple-Butter Spiced Popcorn
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch fresh nutmeg
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
optional: 1/4 teaspoon salt - I like salty-sweet combinations, but leave it out if you're not a fan
Pop the popcorn following your preferred method. Combine the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Melt the butter either in the pan or in the microwave and whisk in the maple syrup. Drizzle this over the fresh popcorn, stirring the popcorn as you pour to make sure it gets evenly distributed.
Sprinkle half the spice mixture over the popcorn, cover the bowl with a dinner plate, and shake vigorously. Taste the popcorn and if you'd like more spice, add the other half of the spice mix and shake again. Eat immediately!

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard, a tactical team-based first-person-shooter from Gameloft, is available from the app store. While Rainbow Six plays and controls like most other Gameloft shooters, the additional of strategic maneuvers and co-op multiplayer help to separate it from the pack and give it an identity all its own.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard Pros:
- Same enjoyable FPS-style as other Gameloft shooters
- Team-based tactical play
- Intuitive controls with plenty of buttons to command teammates
- Variety of locations, weapons, and objectives
- Multiplayer modes for deathmatch and co-op play via wi-fi and Bluetooth
- Gameloft Live! integration for achievements
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard Cons:
- No way to communicate via co-op
- Some respawning issues in multiplayer lead to quick, cheap deaths
- Some video stuttering and audio dropouts
- Occasional button unresponsivness
Rainbow Six gives the player the option of an 11-level single player campaign or a multiplayer mode that uses either team-based (Team Deathmath, Co-Op) or free-for-all (Deathmatch) gameplay to achieve its goal. Leading a squad of the finest counter-terrorist soldiers around, you direct your mates to perform specific actions, coordinated with your own to exact swift justice in a precise manner. The typical objectives are present: defuse hostage situations, prevent explosions, and thwart all manner of illegal activity. The scenery changes, but again in predictable ways: mansions, jungles, oil rigs, industrial settings, etc. A variety of weapons are also at your disposal, allowing you to carry a main weapon, a handgun, and two other pieces of equipment. You can also enhance your weapons with upgrades like scopes and larger magazines. More powerful weapons become unlocked as you rank up by earning experience points, which can be procured in both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer modes. Experience points are earned quickly for clean play, such as killing enemies via headshot and not losing anyone in your squad. Each mission has multiple objectives for you to complete and earn experience points, too.
As the goal is to be stealthy, you have abilities similar to Splinter Cell that allow you to take cover behind objects, attach a silencer to your weapon, and snake cameras under doors to get the drop on your competition. Ordering teammates to various locations is as easy as tapping a button on the targeted location, while regrouping is handled by tapping a button in the upper-left corner. Closed doors present golden opportunities to direct attacks. There are plenty of items in the environment to manipulate, denoted by an icon that appears over them. These are pretty self-explanatory when you happen upon them. Aim assist makes it easier to pick off enemies before they can do too much harm to you or your team. When you do take damage, your health regenerates once you are no longer under fire. Dying isn't necessarily the end, either, as you and your teammates have the ability to revive each other. The game does a nice job of walking you through a lot of these elements in an interactive tutorial-style first level.
The multiplayer modes aren't quite as good as we'd experienced in MC2, but they were still fun. You have 5 multiplayer locations to choose from: Construction Site, Embassy, Ship, Dam, and Brazil. You can either play Team Deathmatch, where you square off in teams of five to kill each other; Deathmatch, where you try to kill everyone else; or co-op, where you are joined by a couple of human-controlled teammates attempting to take out the other team. While it sounds awesome in theory, the execution doesn't really allow for teammates to communicate their intentions and coordinate their plans, leading to some frustrations. More frustrating than this, however, was that we would occasionally re-spawn right by the enemy, making for easy pickings.
Visually, Rainbow Six's graphic quality is on par with recent releases like NOVA 2 and Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus. The Retina Display supported graphics give characters and environments a crisp look. The varied locations help to keep our interests and mix up the gameplay, especially when switching between open areas and close quarters. While the animation didn't seem the most fluid, it was still passable and not all that distracting. We did experience occasional stuttering and audio dropouts. When it was working, the audio was crisp and clear, ranking up there with some of the best Gameloft has offered. Sound effects are adequate, and the background music has a suspense movie quality about it. Controls are pretty much standard by now: move with the virtual pad in the lower left, aim by swiping the right side of the screen, and tap the fire button to shoot. The option to use the gyroscope is also available. Buttons for crouching and zooming are neatly tucked into the bottom corners, while your weapon select and reload can be accessed from the upper right corner, with grenades/flash bangs accessible just below. Directing your squad is accomplished by tapping on context buttons that appear when an action can be performed. It should be noted that while the stealthy aspect of the game is the reason to play this one over the other FPS titles, there aren't a lot of times where the stealth actions are necessary to progress. We found it just as useful to enter rooms with guns blazing and duke it out without trying to go unnoticed. The positioning of the buttons creates some problems like accidental discharges. Also, some of the context-specific buttons can be unresponsive, requiring us to reposition and tap several times to get them to work.
Replay value is very good, with a lengthy campaign and great multiplayer battles using either local or online wi-fi. Bluetooth can also be used, but it limits you to 2 players. Gameloft Live! integration allows for a nice achievement system, giving you additional goals to work toward. Gameloft continues to put out quality FPS titles that, regardless of their similarities, offer enough little differences to make us want to give them a go. Released at the typical $6.99 price point without a Free+IAP version (the latter method seems to have been a failed experiment and has since been discontinued), Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard is a very solid 4-Dimple shooter.

Rob Galbraith has today posted his delayed D2H Preview. Rob has added to the information we could provide in our D2H, it looks to me as though he had longer with the camera, has menu captures, some nice diagrams and timings as well as coverage of Nikon Capture 4.0. "Are we excited about the potential of this new digital SLR camera? You bet. Our only concern right now is that the D2H might not be able to live up to the monstrous engineering effort that clearly has gone into designing it. If the retooled AF system and all-new, Nikon-designed imager work as well as Nikon is promising, the new camera could in fact be the 500 pound frog that LoPinto describes. If not, well... With so much that's new in one camera, we recommend not counting all your D2H chickens before the camera hatches later this year."

I'm wondering if there's any plugin that could allow me to insert the ability for registered users or guests to vote Yes or No in response to a question in a post, and display the results of the vote (the number of votes for each).
It seems like there are a couple of plugin options where this might be possible, like WP-Polls, but I'd like to post quite a few of these questions every day, and it would get very tedious to create the same poll over and over again and have to manually insert it in each post. It would be great if I could create a poll template and have it automatically inserted at the end of each post. Unfortunately I'm sure that if I just created one poll and inserted it into every post, it would display the aggregated results from every post.
Basically I guess I'm looking for a plugin that emulates the "Was this article helpful? Yes or No" functionality found in Help Centers and content management systems. If anybody knows if something like this would be possible to do in WordPress, please let me know! Thanks in advance.
