CFDA Honoree Ruth Finley on Numerology and Finicky Designers
Fashion's "calendar girl."
Keeping fashion people organized is no enviable task — it's more like herding a bunch of very fancy cats. That's why Ruth Finley, creator of the Fashion Calendar, is so deserving of this year's CFDA Board of Directors Tribute Award. The keeper of the ironclad Fashion Calendar, she's gotten to know many designers over the years, from Charles James to Norman Norell. "I knew Marc Jacobs before he had a partner, when he was carrying his clothes around in a suitcase," Finley tells Style.com. Scheduling hasn't always been easy.
One designer would never take a date with a four in it because that was a bad omen. Another designer, Arnold Scaasi, would not confirm his date until he consulted his numerologist, so I called him and said, "Let me have the number of your numerologist, I'll solve this."
But the octogenarian is not planning on retiring anytime soon: "Too young."

USC billboard near UCLA campus blacked out
Move over, Mississippi--the Billboard Wars have gone west.
According to the Los Angeles Times Monday, USC has put up a billboard within virtual spitting distance of UCLA's Westwood campus, one with Matt Barkley's Heisman candidate's visage and the slogan "WE PLAY TO FINISH"--the "LA" in a noticeably different color. Times photographer Mel Melcon shot this picture of the billboard Monday:
"We need to change that. Oh, we need to change that," Bruin Darius Bell said. "This is our neighborhood."
Surprisingly enough, someone did change it.
The Times reported Tuesday -- with the photo to prove it -- that the billboard has been covered up by a black, um, covering.
So who's responsible?
"We didn't have anything to do with it," UCLA athletics spokesman Nick Ammazzalorso told the Times.
USC, in a fit of guilt over their ungentlemanly behavior towards their L.A. neighbors?
"We did not agree with or were we involved in the decision to take the billboard down," USC athletics spokesman Tim Tessalone said.
The billboard company, then? It seemed unlikely, with Regency Outdoor Advertising co-owner Brian Kennedy a "prominent USC donor," per the Times. But after several hours of mystery, Kennedy admitted Regency had elected to move the billboard over USC's objections.
The rivalry between the Bruins and Trojans seems to be ratcheting up this offseason, what with Jim L. Mora's (reprehensible) "we don't have murders a block from our campus" comments and now USC's oh-so-coincidentally placed Barkley billboard.
Just as Mora denied that his comments about UCLA's safety had anything to do with USC, so the Trojans have denied that the billboard placement had anything to do with UCLA.
"It's not a board to taunt," Tessalone said.
Sure, Tim. And we're sure it looked like a Spinal Tap album cover Tuesday for reasons that had nothing to do with Barkley, USC, UCLA, its location, etc.

With every change in season, there's a change in the merchandise mix in the supermarket's front-end aisle. To promote the Fourth of July, for example, retailers across the country promoted such seasonal merchandise as coolers, pitchers, cups, ice packs and barbecue grills. Creating seasonal general merchandise areas, often cross-promoted with food products, contributes greatly to the grocery chain's overall general merchandise sales. Some retailers polled by SN said these sections have ...

Nordstrom Inc. says it will open a three-storey store at Toronto Eaton Centre by the fall of 2016 in the high-profile location that has been occupied by Sears Canada.
Construction on the new Nordstrom store is set to begin in March.
It's the latest Canadian location to be announced by Seattle-based Nordstrom, which has picked up several department store spaces vacated by Sears.
Cadillac Fairview manages the Toronto Eaton Centre as well as prominent malls in Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa that will have Nordstrom stores.
``Our properties were the first to welcome Nordstrom to Canada, and we're thrilled to continue our partnership with Nordstrom,'' said John Sullivan, Cadillac Fairview's president and chief executive.
``We believe it takes foresight and innovation to bring popular retail brands like Nordstrom to our centres, which in turn attracts enthusiastic shoppers.''
The Toronto Eaton Centre is one of the city's biggest tourist attractions, as well as a major shopping mall for area residents.
Sears has been occupying a space that was originally home to the flagship Eaton store, before the family-controlled national Canadian chain went bankrupt more than a decade ago.
However, Sears Canada, a subsidiary of U.S.-based Sears Holdings Corp. has been downsizing in response to changing consumer shopping habits and increased competition.
It has long been speculated that Nordstrom would be interested in the Toronto Eaton Centre location, one of several that Sears has agreed to vacate in recent years in return for large payments from its landlords.
Last summer, Sears announced would receive $191 million cash for agreeing to leave the Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto and Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ont., by March 2014. It could also receive an additional $54 million if the landlord exercises an option on the Sears store at the Scarborough Town Centre.

"Since the earliest stage of human history (say, the time of Cain and Abel), human beings have been homicidal maniacs. Yet, for untold ages, something was missing, something with the capacity to raise their murderous mania to truly magnificent heights. Only very late in human history—perhaps 10,000 years ago or thereabouts—did the long-awaited breakthrough take place: men finally devised the state…
With the rise of the state, statesmen became possible—men whose vision embraced truly grand adventures and enterprises in exploitation, oppression, plunder, and mass mayhem. And from the greatest statesmen the greatest empires might spring. What sorrow we must feel as we contemplate the bleak counter-factual of history without the great Roman Empire: we cannot begin to imagine any stateless society able to put even a tenth as many severed heads on pikes along the roads or to nail even a tenth as many men on crosses to endure prolonged suffering before they gratefully expire. Likewise for the great Chinese, Persian, Mongol, Aztec, Inca, and other empires that fill the pages of history, giving vivid color to what otherwise would have been a humdrum human experience of little more than economic, artistic, and literary creativity and peaceful cooperation, spiced with meaningless and petty acts of kindness and compassion toward one another."
via The State—Crown Jewel of Human Social Organization | The Beacon.
An OUTSTANDING piece, as usual, from the Independent Institute.

He was a tool. Don't think IR firm's add too much but at least they hired a real firm.
the problem is not IR firm, the problem is their business ! do you really think a better IR firm can bring in new business?
I have call the former IR David Pasquale a few times and i wrote him round aboout 10 times an email. I have got my answers in 90% of the cases within the same day. All his statement were true. The best info from him was that Agria will not delist . He had the problem that he can only give us the information that the chinese gave him.
But i hope that Agria will give us in the future more stories do discuss.
What i don't understand is , for what reason are these discussion boards at yahoo so full of despite.
The damage was done in 2008 when most of the chinese went to Wall Street with support of the Bangsters , and these expert taught them how to get the money from shareholders. Now we should be careeful that we not let them delist for a pocket money.
yes, you should apply the position, you will definitely do better job than Mr. David Pasquale.
in a so promising market, with so STRONG connection with government, Mr. Genius investor, could you kindly tell us why GRO keeps losing money all the years since 2007 ? please don't point me to the liability / assets #$%$ paper number. how a 10 million revenue (NOT profit) company recover the huge loss ?
You blame the investors (including you man) for GRO's failures ? Please tell us what the logic/reasoning behind this ? To a money losing company, you don't scrutinize how they spend the money, on the contrary touted every move the make, why?
OK, let's assume the damage was done in 2008, who should be blamed for the failure of P3A ? who should blame for the investment in Guanxin? what happened in 2009/2010/2011/2012 ? why they lose money all the years?

Some of my menu items have sub-menus (utilizing the iNove theme). When I hover over a menu item that has a sub-menu, the sub-menu blocks the parent menu (as opposed to appearing below it), but only in Google Chrome. The sub-menu appears perfectly in Internet Explorer and Firefox.
I've tried to mess around with the stylesheet (namely to add "margin-top: 25px;" to "#menus li ul {" ) but when I do so, while I fix the problem in Chrome, I create a problem in the other browsers.
I have searched these and other forums for a solution before posting. I found two people who apparently had this same problem (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/submenu-looks-different-on-different-browsers-please-help and http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-the-sub-menu-blocks-parent-menu-in-inove), but their questions both went unanswered. Does anybody have a potential solution?

one of the causes of the downfall of rome was that people being fed by the state ceased to have any responsibility for themselves or their children, and consequently became a nation of wasters. they frequented the circuses, where paid performers appeared before them in the arena, much as we see the crowds now flocking to look on at paid players playing football... thousands of boys and young men, pale, narrow-chested, hunched-up, miserable specimens, smoking endless cigarettes, numbers of them betting, all of them learning to be hysterical as they groan or cheer in panic unison with their neighbours -- the worst sound of all being the hysterical scream of laughter that greets any little trip or fall of the player. one wonders whether this can be the same nation which gained for itself the reputation of being stolid, pipe-sucking manhood, unmoved by panic or excitement, and reliable in the tightest of places. get the lads away from this -- teach them to be manly.
I don't see a connection with gladiators smashing and slaying, chopping and dismembering their opponent to stay alive with watching English football. (except Tommy Smith)I see a lot of staunch people at the ground and sincerely wish they would lighten up and join in with the songs and positively encourage the team.When an opposing player makes a mistake are you suggesting we applaud his efforts and try not to laugh?Sorry mate, but I will scream and shout along with the best, and long may it continue, or would you rather the famous St Andrews' atmosphere resemble that of the vile ground?nuff said.KRO

Great job nevertheless!

formidable pirate ship for the battle againts Adrianna
I do like the three different cannon ball types, they called "ball", "chains" and "grapes"
The army of the twelve monkeys... is great
The capitain room, with the red carpet, and a great hook collection, He has style
The punishment of the undisciplined crew and past enemies, very pirate style
I Love your modular style, very professional!!!
Posted 04 September 2010 - 05:31 PM
Monkey Army: Fun idea
Different Ammotypes: Really great idea
The ovverall look
Detailed inside and the deck
The ships color is too black
The size: Its actually kinda smiliar as Adrianna: Usually pirates used small and fast ships, but thats not so inportant
Overall i think its aa great ship, and the name...... Nightmare? Would that be good name?

The modularity is great as it is the case with the Imperial ship of yours.
You really should add gunports to the lower gundeck! A few holes in the hull won't do it! And please add some ratlines to the masts. I don't feel custom ones necessary here, but they're always the best...
Also I'm not to convinced by the pirate flags on the upper guneck...
Apart from that it's a nice ship really.

It could be slightly more realistic, but who cares if it is for 'playing' or pleasure.
My favourite part is the Captain's Cabin!

Nightmare seems like a good name.
Thanks to Captain Becker and Nosaj for suggestions!

But I would think "Red Panther" would be a good name.
Red because of the sails and Panther because it is a fast and black ship.

By the next earning report revenue, you will clearly see that Fidax role in c.diff is way over-rated. Those that work in healthcare already knows this...Unfortunately, those that invest not knowing the clinical pathway of C.diff treatment and prevention will pay dearly. Argue all you want, your profit or loss tells the story.
Well. Well. So you finally chose to answer a simple question after many, many posts.
Congrats! (Even though your reading comprehension is still lacking since all I asked for was a "yes" or a "no")
BTW, I'm not going to pray that the analysts are wrong. They are wrong. Apparently you're not much of an investor, otherwise you would know that estimates on successful drug launches always get ramped up as time goes on. We will see the March quarter be revised upwards to estimates of $40MM+ from the current $17MM.
All of the above, just one man's opinion.
Even if OPTR meets, they are still losing money. Its just a matter of losing how much. Yes, OPTR will meet analyst expectation of $23MM revenue and losing -0.34 cents a share...having said that, OPTR pricing should be lower. You should pray that analyst are wrong, if they are right, watch for another price correction....$10 or lower. In fact for March 2012, analyst is predicting even a greater revenue drop for OPTR...down to $16MM...that is horrible.
You have a terrible problem with reading comprehension, which is okay. It's not unusual with morons such as yourself.
Let me just boil this down to a simple yes or no type answer requirement. Can you handle that?
You now state that Optimer will meet analysts' revenue expections for the current quarter. Yes or No?
I don't know if I can make it any easier for you. Just answer yes or no. Ya got it?
All of the above, just one man's opinion.
Analyst numbers says negative EPS...meaning (yes that is you moron)...that OPTR is losing money...
Really? Who do you think that you're BSing? By now everyone realizes your a moron.
Here is your statement that got me involved in this thread "By the next earning report revenue, you will clearly see that Fidax role in c.diff is way over-rated."
You implied that revenues would fall short. NOW you're stating that you believe that we will meet analysts' numbers? Sheesh....what a waste of time you are.
All of the above, just one man's opinion.
You keep getting more moronic since you don't even read..
December 2011 revenue= $23MM that translates into -0.34EPS (a net loss for OPTR), March 2012 revenue of $16MM with a -0.52EPS (even a bigger loss projected for OPTR).
This is analyst concensus which agrees with my assesment that Dificid already saturated the market as a second line agent.
LOL....this keeps getting more moronic. You just can't seem to answer a direct question. Either answer it....or state that you have no idea.
Then I see you make this statement in a subsequent post "Based on what I see here in the field, I can only say with certaininty that OPTR revenue will be flat."
Flat? Really? So you think that we will only do $10.6MM in revenues?
What will this quarter's revenues be? And...once again, if you would rather admit that you're a dumbass and state that you can't answer the question then by all means, please do so.
All of the above, just one man's opinon.
Dec 2011= $23MM that translates into -0.34 earnings per share...and in March 2012, revenue is expected to drop dramatically contrary to your thoery of Dificid being used as first line agent. Even analyst concensus agrees with me.Please do you due diligence of at least looking at OPTR financials. I feel like I am leading the blind.
something? why skip forward to March 31? I mean, there are 4 quarters in a year, and the next quarter to be reported would be the 4th, correct? c'mon...earnings are reported every subsequent quarter, doc...
According to analyst concensus, for next quarter Mar 2012, $16.8MM in revenue. Now your estimate is sounding like a moron.- Satisfied ??? I did not want to embarass you but you asked for it.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

THE AGA KHAN: FROM CURZON TO HITLER :A MAN ALWAYS AT THE CENTRE OF HISTORY 1977-11-05Posted March 16th, 2015 by librarian-hd
My father, the late Aga Khan, was born 100 years ago on 2nd November. Though
he died in 1957 at the turn of what Winston Churchill aptly termed "this
tormented half century", few today can separate reality from myth when
looking back on his long and active life.To many in the West, he remains the
religious leader who was weighed against precious stones, the race horse
owner who won five Derbies or the man whose eldest son, Aly Khan, once
married Rita Hayworth.

NCAA Football
Mississippi State Bulldogs at Texas A&M Aggies Football
Mississippi State has had some success this season, and has shown promise in a few of their games, just not the ones against ranked opponents. The biggest factor in this game is the fact that Manziel and the Aggie offense score, and then score some more. It doesn't matter who they play, they score, and Mississippi State doesn't. This may not be a terribly tough game for the Aggies, but any mistakes they make will be used by their next two opponents as a starting point to pick them apart, so they will need to play this one as tight as possible.

Not everyone enjoyed the 48 fps clips from The Hobbit when they were shown at CinemaCon, but with big name directors like Peter Jackson and James Cameron committed to the format and convinced it will help their 3D films, audience members will need to get used to it.

Goshen — Colin Schmitt dropped his challenge of the voting results in the state Assembly's 99th District Republican primary race, conceding the race to Kyle Roddey.
Schmitt sent out a news release at 9:45 a.m. Monday announcing his concession. He said he wished Roddey "the best of luck" in November.
Doug Drazen, the attorney for Schmitt, said the 22-year-old chose not to make additional challenges to the results of Thursday's count of absentee ballots. The challenges were scheduled to be presented at a Monday morning hearing before a state Supreme Court judge in Orange County.
That hearing lasted no more than 15 minutes, Drazen said.
The official vote tally announced Monday by the Orange County Board of Elections was 1,347 votes for Roddey to 1,269 for Schmitt. In Rockland, the official count was 102 for Roddey to Schmitt's 95.
Roddey, 27, the mayor of the Village of Goshen, now faces Democrat James Skoufis, 24, a Woodbury councilman, for the 99th Assembly District seat. Nancy Calhoun, the Republican incumbent, decided not to run for re-election.
Drazen said Schmitt conceded mostly to avoid further delays in the electoral process.
"I think (Schmitt) recognized that having a Palm Beach 2000-like scenario would not have benefitted anybody," the attorney said.

Agrocybe pediades
Agrocybe pediades is a typically lawn and other types of grassland mushroom,[1] but can also grow on mulch containing horse manure. It was first described as Agaricus pediades by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, and moved to its current genus Agrocybe by Victor Fayod in 1889. A synonym for this mushroom is Agrocybe semiorbicularis.
Some experts divide Agrocybe pediades into several species, mainly by habitat and microscopic features, such as spore size. It is recognized by the large, slightly compressed basidiospores with large central germ-spore, 4-spored basidia, subcapitate cheilocystidia and reare development of pleuro cystidia.[2]

Complaint regarding bullying business practices of a US company operating in the UK (and internationally)
We are a British company. My complaint is regarding a certain software company based in the USA (McAfee Inc) and who is also present in the UK.
This company has taken it upon itself to make available across the internet a certain document, 'site advisor'. This document, in which we certainly gave NO permission for our inclusion, requests that the public enter
opinions/comments regarding our company and others. On the document appears our company name, together with certain words: phishing, fraud, etc. These words,
in the presence of any name, are a negative issue. Our name, Callassa, is registered as a trademark in the UK.
This kind of flagrant breach of business protocol, not to mention trademark infringement has the potential to completely ruin our efforts and exemplary name. Their argument is that they, McAfee Inc, want to 'police the internet'. This is not the responsibility of a commercial organisation. They appear to assume they can go and do just as they like, represent others as THEY see fit! Regardless of business rights, human rights, or whatever. They certainly qualify as comtaminating irritants, which ironically is what they, McAfee Inc. purport to be in business to prevent.
If I went to any company and stood outside, brandishing a trademark name and inviting commentaries from whomever, I would be arrested. In certain countries, worse. (My intentions and actions rightly seen as being malevolent). Whatever statements of intent, the real intention IS TO USE OUR NAME (AND OTHERS) TO ADVERTISE THEMSELVES IN OUR COUNTRY (AND THE WORLD), AND TO TARNISH US, GAINING RECOGNITION FOR SO DOING IN THE PROCESS. This is absolutely diabolical rip-off. It has to be an example of an illegal business practice. It contravenes every single standard that the internet business platform/international platform is built upon. Our own intentions are exemplary. Our public face is
exemplary. If we require evaluation we will choose who and pay to have just that. We are in the process of doing so at this moment but certainly not with this free, no choice rip-off, scamming, very, very second rate 'scheme' with its own PIGGY-BACKING commercial and political agendas!
We neither endorse McAfee Inc. products, never have, nor intend to. We have to pay to have a statement of non-association with McAfee Inc. appear on our website callassa.com.
When many web addresses, are searched for, eg. on Google, the McAfee 'site advisor' appears listed
with your own. I don't see why we and you should be pushed around in this unscrupulous and bullying manner. It is not what we need to endure? ie, it be a picture of the future world of jumping through someone else's hoops? NO, SO COMPLAIN, JUST AS WE HAVE TO THE FTC: See below transcript of response. The more compolaints that are registered with the FTC and here, the better! :
Re: FTC Ref. No. 9691797
Dear Gay McDonald:
Thank you for recent correspondence. The Federal Trade Commission acts in the public interest to stop business practices that violate the laws it enforces. Letters from consumers and businesses are very important to the work of the Commission. They are often the first indication of a problem in the marketplace and may provide the initial evidence to begin an investigation. The Commission does not resolve individual complaints. The Commission can, however, act when it sees a pattern of possible violations developing.
The information you have provided will be recorded in our complaint retention system. This computerized system enables us to identify questionable business practices that are generating numerous complaints and may be in violation of the law.
Thank you for providing information that may be used to develop or support Commission enforcement initiatives.
Sincerely yours,

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Brazil's navy is giving up the search
for a priest who vanished after apparently being carried over the
Atlantic by a cluster of party balloons.
A navy lieutenant says a helicopter and two boats were pulled
off the search over the weekend when no sign of the Catholic priest
was found.
He has been missing since April 20th, shortly after he was
carried aloft by more than 1,000 helium-filled balloons.
A number of private fishing boats continue to search the coastal
waters off Brazil, and fire department rescue teams are still
looking in the densely forested coastal mountains.
The priest had been trying to raise money to build a rest stop
and worship center for truckers.

Hi Nitromians,
Some of you have probably noticed that we are toying with the layout of the ads again on our game pages.
A while back, some advertising networks introduced a recommendation that required us to change our ad layout.
We weren't however able to run all of our networks within that layout and so the latest change is an attempt to rectify that.
Rest assured that if we decide to keep this layout, we will fill the space with something more useful and interesting! :)

Skip to comments.Romney Talks Bluntly of Those Dependent on Government
Posted on 09/17/2012 4:48:47 PM PDT by Evil Slayer
click here to read article
Is there something Mitt can say where the media will NOT bash him non-stop?
My father was forced onto Medicare. When he turned 65, his employer said they had no choice.
He was a WWII vet and had paid into SS for half-a-century, and when he retired he didn't take any payouts until he reached 71. He died last month at 85.
Social Security was never meant to support illegal aliens or drug addicts considered disabled.
Push it even harder, the unemployed who want to work and build a future will get on board, the grifters will always grift.
More importantly is turn out. tell the lazy, they are lazy , they really will respond by sitting on their hands and they won't vote.
Scream about rugged individualism, tell people they can succeed and the gov't will only help by leaving them alone......that will move voters.
that was done when the left started the 99%- the 53% though represented those if us who pay federal income tax...
The country is going broke anyhow and why not go down on some principle. Eventually these 47% will rue the dayprobably in near future..
I think that some of those "depending" on government realize it is because of obama whose attempts to redistribute wealth have put them in that situation.
I may not like Romney at all, but on some issues he is right. And on this, he is dead on. He's not saying he does not WANT the vote of that 47%, but he is correct that there is no reason to expect any argument he can make to get these people to willingly give up their welfare... which is what you are getting when you either on direct welfare payments, or when you work buy pay no taxes. It means everyone else pays yours for you. Same thing.
Who is going to give up the free ride willingly? 1% at the most?
I agree. The question is will it drive a certain fraction of them who weren't going to vote to the polls.
Nevertheless, I gotta admit I agree with almost everything he's said here and he may be in the process of winning this skeptical conservative over. The correct reaction here is NOT to run from these statements, but back them up with facts and statistics. If he retreats, he loses.
that's definitely not a backtrack....
Reince preibus already did tonight on CNN
Dude, whatever.
That was no backtrack. You are just looking for something.
doesn't matter what the truth is, they will beat Romney over the head with this until the debates and try to get him saying something contrary to what he tells donors.
This sucks and will become an unnecessary distraction and I imagine the media will run with it, out of context of course and there will be ads running by Tuesday.
With all due respect, did you just get here or something?
The media will bash him no matter what as you have seen with Romney's strong statement on Egypt.
Jesus doesn't deserve that kind of disrespect. Please don't use his name as a cuss word.
He should offer to lift them up so their kids wont grow up with no hope for a better life.
I disagree about the "independents". I believe most of them are working people, and would tend to agree with Romney on this. They are just as tire of pulling the wagon as the rest of us.
Amend to that!!!!!
Well said. I just went to the Romney web site and submitted a "suggestion". I told them I commended Gov. Romney for his comments and not to back down or "walk it back".
>>BANG!!!!!! Another shot in the foot. He goes from cold and heartless to flip flopper in 2 seconds.<<
If you're not looking to be offended, you'll see it's a clarification. He was talking to those who will vote for him and that's what the comeback was about.
Stick around a year or two and you'll learn.
LBJ,Ted Kennedy and many others might disagree with you on that.
I find this absolutely refreshing. I want MORE of this talk from Mitt. If the boot-licking media is already cheering a re-election may as well go for the throat.
The left have so twisted the debate that truth is the new pornography.
My fellow FReeper, I didn't worry what I said during my campaign because, in my heart, I knew I was right. The left and the media said I was a loser for stating the truth. Well....why don't you think about it. I won the election and I won with a pretty darn good mandate.
Funny I haven't seen you post here till now..
I strongly disagree. This isn't a distraction at all. This issue is the very essence of this election - the moochers versus the producers.
If he loses on this message, at least we will know for sure where we stand as a nation.
A goodly part of that 47% are not in the group by choice. Romney can peel them off if he can explain how he's going to make it possible for them to rise up out of government dependency. It's a huge mistake simply to write them off.
You know quite a few of the "producers" actually long to be part of the "moocher" class.
And what would they be doing if he hadn't said it?
Agreed...I know some folks with EBT cards, and they feel humiliated that they would have to take such a handout. They would prefer to earn their keep...do not lump them in with the moochers...
They may be in the 47%, but the good news is that they don't feel like 47%-ers. They feel they earned their retirement. And they're pissed that Zero raided Medicare to finance his Obamacare boondoggle.
I predict Romney carries the cotton heads!
Yes. I agree. If we read the words, we get it, but MAN...are they all over this in the media, message boards, Twitter etc. Romney did NOT need this.
I also agree Strongly with Mitt on this.
Yes, the media will use this against him. Well heck, if he mentions what toothpaste he uses they will find a way to use that against him also. Their in full attack mode now.
Some on disability are legit, some scams, among desperation due to economy.
If he can somehow redirect it back at the government failed them with policies that leave them disadvantaged due to
governments failure to provide a quality education for all this tax money vs Dog and pony show they put on.
It's hardly a distraction. It's the central issue of this election takers vs makers. On it turns the question of whether we regain our former preeminence among nations or instead turn into Argentina. The more closely it's explored, the worse for Obama and the Democrats!
I swear that the left has painted evil as good and good as evil. Unlike a non believer... I KNOW how this all ends. I want to make America the best and strongest and most proserpous Nation to ever exist... again... and I will never agree that telling a lie or running from the truth is a winning strategy. Take away the truth and one becomes a democrat.
When you rob Peter to pay Paul and Paulette, you win the election.
It's getting pretty close to that tipping point where more people will be on welfare/govt assistance than actually working and we might never win an election again....
it won't get explored, the words will be taken out of context and exploited. This is bad for the Romney brand and will force them to go off message to deal with this.
Maybe. However, I've had money stolen from my paycheck from the government all my working life...how about you? They just have to give back what I didn't give them permission to take in the first place, and I'll be satisfied.
I also wish he said this in a campaign speech and not in a private setting.
Love the NYT comments-LOLOL!
The way I took what he said was not that he didn't care about people on gvt aid
he just said he didn't care about winning them over because they wont vote for him anyway.
Yes! This is true. Have you read The Coming Insurrection? It's written by a few French socialists --a sort of manifesto. They clearly state that they feel that the socialists have been given enough time to deliver Nirvana and that they are out of time. They plan on destroying the system and ending the concept of work.
This communist revolution is very different from communist revolutions in recent history. In previous revolutions, work and the worker was, at least, initially glorified.
I think this "leak" might have been brilliant strategy on the part of Team Romney.
Let the Rats think they found a big secret and let THEM be the ones to broadcast the message far and wide. lol
Let THEM spent their millions to spread the message of Reagan.
Romney, you magnificent bastard!!!
I love it!!! This is a rope-a-dope.
This wasn't John F'n Kerry's off-mike comment....this was Romney strolling up to a mic and speaking very loudly and openly to a room full of people. He is not a stupid man.
THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! The gloves are about to come off. Romney is IN IT TO WIN IT!!!!
"Romney...should run with this.....ask yourself...how did this happen...how are your neighbors, co-workers...people that used to stand proud, carry the mail, make the cars, build the houses,start the businesses....now dependent on the Government....and Obama is proud? "
This is a great point. I know of a few families that have never taken any assistance in their lives previously, but have had to because of the Obama Economy. There is a portion of the 48% that are content being on government assistance forever. However, I know there are those who don't want to be dependent and really want a decent paying job.

Youth Development: Elements to help children develop positively
By Alvarez Dixon
Almost without warning my little girl has transformed from the dimpled darling who loved to swing beneath her father's bicep to a sophisticated young lady who would rather watch Internet videos and spend her daddy's money at the mall. The dimple is still there, but I'd have to stand on a ladder to swing her on my arm today.
Her development is not yet over, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. I am thinking of ways to prepare myself for the day she drops the bomb on me that she has a boyfriend and his initials are not J.B.
But preparing myself is not nearly enough. As a youth development professional, I have learned that my daughter's growth and development, like that of every child, is inevitable — but it is not guaranteed to be positive without some effort.
Like many parents, I look to after-school programs and other forms of youth engagement activities to help me create the right set of experiences for my daughter that will ensure her positive development.
Not all programs are created equal. Some programs have more structured activities than others. Some are staffed by seasoned educators; others rely on adults who are well-intentioned if not experts in youth development. Regardless of the staffing pattern and program structure, it is important for parents and youth workers to be aware that the environments we create for young people must be intended for positive development.
Researchers have shown that there are essential elements of youth development that, when present in a young person's life, dramatically increase the possibility that kids will grow into successful adults. These elements are what parents should seek when considering an after-school program — and what program providers should consider when planning activities and settings for youth enrichment and engagement.
So just what are the essential elements? The answer is BIG-M: Belonging, Independence, Generosity and Mastery.
First, belonging: Youths benefit from a positive relationship with a caring adult who will act as an adviser, mentor or advocate and who helps set boundaries and expectations. Youngsters feel like they belong when the environment is welcoming to all who wish to participate and there is emotional and physical safety.
Second, independence: Kids should see themselves as an active participant in their futures. By creating opportunities for self-determination and decision-making, youths get to practice taking responsibility for their experiences and their actions. We should be looking for programs that give youths a voice and opportunities to make choices about activities and outcomes.
Next, generosity: Youths need an opportunity to value and practice serving others. Acts of generosity may be in the form of community service or in helping other kids from another program. When youths engage in acts of generosity, they begin to value others in the world around them. Suddenly they don't feel as alone after considering the lives of others.
Finally, mastery: Programs should give youths opportunities to become masters in a subject area. Mastery is the building of knowledge, skills and attitudes and the effective use of skills and knowledge. When kids are masters in a subject, they begin to see themselves as valuable and capable of achievement.
As an educator for the 4-H Metro youth development program, I partner with after-school programs and other youth-serving agencies to help ensure positive development using BIG-M.
Our motto is "to make the best better" by developing hands-on learning and exciting youth enrichment activities that will teach kids to use their heads for clearer thinking, their hearts to greater loyalty, their hands to larger service and their health to better living.
If you are interested in volunteering with 4-H Metro or in learning more about our work in urban communities, please contact me.

Also appearing in the six-part series are Silent Witness star Emilia Fox and Dan Renton Skinner, who is best known to TV audiences as comic character Angelos Epithemiou.
In the tale of mistaken identity -- currently being filmed -- office workers Sam (Baynton) and Phil (Corden) are caught up in a criminal conspiracy after stumbling across a ringing phone at the scene of a horrific car crash.
The half-hour episodes feature a mysterious duo -- Fox and Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels star Nick Moran -- at the heart of the chaos.
Rebecca Front, from The Thick Of It, will play the head of MI5, which is investigating the plot.
French -- whose most recent success has been in Roger & Val Have Just Got In -- will play Phil's resourceful mother, Linda.
Also appearing are Sarah Solemani from BBC3's Him And Her and Benedict Wong from Sunshine and Prometheus.
Baynton is a familiar face from children's show Horrible Histories.
He and Corden dreamt up The Wrong Mans when they worked together in hit comedy drama Gavin & Stacey.
Executive producer Mark Freeland said: "We are trying to do a comedy with explosions, a lot of running about, murder, extortion, friendship and love."
