"Qualities I look for in a friend
I look for many different qualities when I am choosing my friends. The following are the most important qualities my friends must posses for us to have a good friendship.
The first quality I look for is loyalty. An example of this would be me having a fight with a mutual friend of ours. A good friend would not take sides and would stay out of the argument. They also would not denounce me to the friend I was quarreling with. Another example of a loyal friend would be one that was there for me through the good times and the bad. A loyal friend wouldn't stop being my friend just because of a physical change such as braces or me developing a handicap such as a wheelchair. My friend wouldn't stop being my friend because I didn't have many material things or my family was not "well off .
A second quality I look for is honesty. A situation where a friend could display this quality would be when I asked them to watch my purse. A good friend would never go through my purse or steal anything in it. An honest friend would also keep a close eye on my purse and not let anyone else go through it or steal anything form it.
Another instance where a good friend could display their honesty is if I were to tell my friend confidential information. A friend would not tell any of my secrets to other people. Also if any of the confidential information were to "slip out , an honest friend would admit their wrong doing and apologize for the mishap.
There are many additional qualities I look for in my friends but loyalty and honesty are the two most important to me. I also try to practice these qualities so I can be a good friend in return.

The Big East: "Flood"-ed with winners-2012 Belk Bowl Blitz: Edition 2
By Helen Sowell
Answer for Belk Bowl Blitz Trivia
There are 124 FBS competitors, and after Week 7 only twelve remain undefeated. Would you believe that six of those programs hail from just two conferences? It's probably not too surprising that the SEC is one of those groups, but would anyone have predicted that the other conference would be the Big East. Rutgers and Cincinnati are 6-0 while Louisville sits on a 5-0 record. Not too shabby for a conference fighting for respect beyond the basketball courts. These three teams are ranked in the BCS Top 25 (Rutgers #15, Louisville #16, Cincinnati #21) as well as the AP Top 25 (L-#16, R-#19, C-#21) and USA Today (L-#14, R-#17, C-#18). Says Commissioner Mike Aresco, "Louisville, Cincinnati and Rutgers are some of our core programs, and they have strong football traditions." This is significant because all three are staying put after realignment, which helped to bolster the much-maligned conference. In fact, since 2006 the Big East is 215-89 (70.7 winning percentage) in nonconference play, behind only the SEC and the Big 12. And since 1998, the Big East has the best postseason record (43-27) of any FBS conference during the Bowl Championship Series era.
Congratulations to all three teams, but especially to Rutgers first year Head Coach Kyle Flood for the tremendous job he has done in upholding the high standards and winning tradition long established under former head coach Greg Schiano, who left for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flood, the 29th Head Coach at the Birthplace of College Football, is the first Scarlet Knights coach to win his first six games, as Rutgers is bowl-eligible for the seventh time in eight seasons.
Flood, 41, believes that the continuity and seamless transition of moving from an assistant to the top spot has enabled the Knights to hold on to current players as well as keep almost all of their recruits. He came to Piscataway in 2005 (coinciding with the team's first winning season since 1992) as an offensive line coach and was quickly recognized for his strong recruiting ties and his tactical skills. He had been a math teacher at St. Francis Preparatory School in Queens, New York and a part-time offensive line coach at C.W. Post, Long Island in the afternoons. In 1997, the Iona College grad became running backs coach at Hofstra, then assistant head coach/OL coach at Delaware. Fifteen years after entering college coaching, as the Rutgers' assistant head coach, Flood was hired to replace Schiano even though he had no head coaching experience, leaving doubters to question the hire. But he has approached the challenge like he would a math problem. He studied his former boss and they way he meticulously orchestrated every detail in the program making mental checklists of who he needs to speak to and each task he needs to accomplish.
"When he talks to you he gives you his undivided attention, like you're the most important person in the world to him," said Piscataway High coach Dan Higgins. These interpersonal skills have made him a favorite with local high school coaches who appreciate his integrity and honesty. And his love of teaching enhances his team-building skills and problem-solving acumen, leading the Scarlet Knights with a calm yet confident demeanor.
This season, the wins are rarely pretty but his solid, "old-school" defensive approach has produced. Although Rutgers ranks 82nd nationally at 25.0 points per game they are third in the country in points allowed (11.5) per contest and second in the nation against the run (60.83 yards per game).
"I have no interest in losing a 50-40 game," Flood explains. "Our only goal once the game starts is to win it, and style points are a non-issue." His Knights have held all six foes to less than 100 yards rushing in addition to leading the country with a 17-4 turnover margin. Criticized sometimes as too conservative Flood responds, "I think we've shown that we can win games different ways. We can win them on offense as we did in the Arkansas game, we can win them on defense as we have maybe in the UConn game and we can win them with defensive special teams as we did last weekend against Syracuse." Incidentally, senior LB Khaseem Greene had a monster game versus The Orangemen with 14 tackles, 3 forced fumbles, one interception and 1 ∏ sacks earning him the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week.
So can it continue? Coach Flood certainly expects it to as he hopes for a Big East Championship (a feat even Schiano couldn't achieve) and a BCS bowl game. This Saturday's slate includes Rutgers visiting Temple, Louisville hosting USF and Cincinnati traveling out-of-conference to face Toledo. Inter-league play is always unpredictable but who knows, all three may come-out unscathed for another week and earn the respect each so rightfully deserves.

UPA Dumps Sanskrit to Woo Minorities
By Cithara Paul and U Anand Kumar - NEW DELHI
Published: 12th Jan 2014 08:03:33 AM
Sanskrit, India's ancient language in which the Vedas and Upanishads were written, has fallen prey to UPA's minority politics this election year. The appointment of a Second Sanskrit Commission, 58 years after the first set up in 1956 by the first Nehru Government, may have been the Congress-led UPA government's half hearted bid to ward off the minority appeasement tag attached to it. But it has vanished within a week it was issued. In an unprecedented move, the circular was withdrawn within a week without explanation. It has also been deleted from the ministry website. What's more, even the members of the Commission are clueless about the vanishing act.
The HRD Ministry had issued a circular setting up the Second Commission on December 23, 2013 with Satyavrat Sasthri, Jnanpith award winner and Padmabhushan awardee, as chairman. The 13-member committee, comprising Sanskrit experts from all over the country, was given an year's tenure and asked to submit its report by the end of 2014.
"We were told about the setting up of the Commission. But we came to know that the circular has been withdrawn only when another Sanskrit scholar called me up to say that it is no longer there in the ministry website. We, members, have decided to seek an explanation from the ministry," a commission member told The Sunday Standard.
The HRD Ministry, when contacted, offered no answers. "I have no information on the withdrawal of the Sanskrit Commission. I have to check," Higher Education Secretary Asok Thakur said.
All that the other tightlipped officials were willing to reveal was: "There has been some error with regard to the circular and it will be corrected soon." The "error", according to unofficial revelations, varies from quarter to quarter.
One version being offered by an unnamed official is that the HRD ministry did not include a Sanskrit scholar from Panjab University, Chandigarh, the alma matter of PM Manmohan Singh, in the Commission and that the circular was withdrawn after the ministry was pulled up for this "error of judgment."
"We did not include the name of Shankar G Jha of Panjab University and we were told to correct it by higher ups. So the circular had to be withdrawn," said the HRD ministry official. He insisted the circular would be re-issued "soon" once the error was corrected, but he didn't know when.
He denied that the PMO had intervened, adding that Jha was an "eminent scholar."
Another story doing the rounds is that HRD Minister Pallam Raju developed cold feet after taking the decision.

Headlines around the world have blared the scandal: Unwitting Britons who dined on hamburgers, meatballs, or other beef products were actually eating horse meat - and they're outraged. In fact, recent polls show that 20 percent of U.K. consumers are now eating less meat and 7 percent are saying "neigh" to meat altogether.
In Philadelphia, the news seems to have had the opposite effect: At least one restaurant says it plans to add horse meat to its menu.

4 Charts that Show How Rising Income Inequality Increases Pessimism
SOURCE: AP/Evan Vucci
Rising income inequality in the United States has increased pessimism among Americans, according to data analyzed in a new Center for American Progress working paper by University of Maryland political scientist Eric Uslaner. Below are some key charts from the working paper, "Inequality, Pessimism, and Social Cohesion," that show how the public has become less optimistic about economic growth, more pessimistic about the welfare of the average person, and less trusting of other people, as income inequality has skyrocketed over the past 30 years.
(Note: The Gini coefficient is a measure of income inequality. A coefficient of 1 would represent a perfectly unequal society, while a coefficient of 0 would represent a perfectly equal society.)
In 1987, when the Gini coefficient was 0.426, 67 percent of the population believed that there was no real limit to economic growth. By 2012 that share of the population had fallen to 51 percent. The Gini coefficient rose to 0.477 in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available. (see Figure 1)
Moreover, 56 percent of the population believed the lot of the average person was getting worse in 1973, when the Gini coefficient was 0.4. In 1994, however, the coefficient had risen to 0.456, and 69 percent of the population thought the average person was worse off. (see Figure 2)
In 1960 about 58 percent of Americans believed that most people could be trusted, but by 2006 that share had declined to around 34 percent. Income inequality also climbed over that time period, as the Gini coefficient grew from 0.397 in 1967—the earliest year for which data on the coefficient are available—to 0.47 in 2006.
Uslaner's paper calculates how much pessimism—measured by specific polling questions—has been affected by rising income inequality.
As these charts show, rising income inequality has resulted in greater pessimism among Americans with regard to economic growth, the welfare of the average person, and the trustworthiness of other people and the government. For a more detailed explanation, read the working paper here.

It's an historic week in the nation's capital as President Obama hosts the largest gathering of African heads of state and governments ever assembled by a U.S. President. The three-day U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit will welcome 51 African leaders to Washington, D.C. and focus on sustainable development, trade, collaboration, investment, and America's commitment to Africa's security, its democratic development, and its people.
Leading up to the Summit, President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was in the spotlight last week, as the President hosted a Town Hall meeting with the 500 leaders selected as the inaugural class for the Mandela Washington Fellowship. First Lady Michelle Obama also addressed the group on Wednesday, delivering powerful remarks on her own heritage, and the importance of promoting education and empowering women in Africa. "No country can ever truly flourish," she said, "if it stifles the potential of its women, and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens."
The theme for this week's U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit is "Investing in the Next Generation."
For a full list of events, click here, or review the synopsis below.
Signature Events:
- The Civil Society Forum event will be convened by Secretary of State Kerry and will bring together U.S. and African government leaders, members of African and U.S. civil society and the diaspora, and private sector leaders to focus on strategies for fostering social entrepreneurship, civic innovation, and development.
- The Investing in Women, Peace, and Prosperity event will highlight the importance of African women's leadership and meaningful participation in government, the economy, and civil society — as a means to accelerate economic development, improve health and educational indicators, advance democratic development, and improve the safety and security of all citizens.
- The Investing in Health: Investing in Africa's Future event will bring together senior U.S. government officials, African leaders, Ministers of Health, and senior health policy makers who will envision the future of U.S.-African global health partnerships in achieving global health security, promoting science and health, reaching an AIDS-free generation, and ending preventable child and maternal deaths.
- The Resilience and Food Security in a Changing Climate event will highlight three critical and interrelated areas in the U.S-Africa relationship: food security, climate change, and resilience. These issues are of particular concern for African nations, where the majority of rural populations rely on rain-fed agriculture, and where climate change is already having a major affect. More productive agricultural systems will help transform lives, communities, and nations by generating income and by freeing resources for rural populations to participate elsewhere in the economy.
- The Combating Wildlife Trafficking event will be an opportunity for African leaders to join together and share their ideas on how to best counter the threat of poaching and inspire African youth to safeguard their natural heritage for future generations.
- AGOA Forum: To further demonstrate our commitment to sustainable economic growth and development in Africa, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman will host the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Ministerial at the World Bank. African and U.S. trade officials will discuss the future of the AGOA program and U.S. plans to pursue renewal of AGOA legislation.
- Capitol Hill Reception: The Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committees will host a welcome reception for African leaders on Capitol Hill in the afternoon.
- U.S.-Africa Business Forum: The U.S. Department of Commerce and Bloomberg Philanthropies will co-host the first U.S.-Africa Business Forum, a day focused on strengthening trade and financial ties between the United States and Africa to accelerate job growth, and encourage investment. See the U.S.-Africa Business Forum Official Website for more information, and a list of African companies, U.S. companies, and government representatives slated to attend.
- White House Dinner on the occasion of the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit: On the evening of August 5, President Obama and the First Lady will host a dinner at the White House for African heads of state, and government and select guests.
- Summit Leader Meetings: African leaders and President Obama will engage in dialogue in three action-oriented sessions that will address issues of shared interest and mutual concern.
- Leader Session I - Investing in Africa's Future: The opening session will discuss inclusive, sustainable development, economic growth, and trade and investment.
- Leader Session II - Peace and Regional Stability: A working lunch will be centered around shared concerns regarding peace and security, including a discussion of long-term solutions to regional conflicts, peacekeeping challenges, and combating transnational threats.
- Leader Session III - Governing for the Next Generation: This session will allow for a candid conversation about the greatest challenges and opportunities for Africa's continued political and economic progress and a specific focus on governance. This session will focus on how to enhance governance in order to deliver services to citizens, attract and prepare for increased domestic and foreign direct investment, manage transnational threats, and stem the flow of illicit finance.
- Spousal Program: On August 6, First Lady Michelle Obama, in partnership with former First Lady Laura Bush and the Bush Institute, will host a day-long spouses symposium at the Kennedy Center focused on the impact of investments in education, health, and public-private partnerships.
- A Dialogue with African CEOs: On August 6, Congressman Gregory W. Meeks and the Congressional Black Caucus Africa Task Force will host "A Dialogue with African CEOs," entailing panel discussions and networking with African business and political leaders, U.S. private sector representatives, and members of Congress.

If you met them out and about, you would quickly say that Gee and Juan are just two ordinary guys.
Both handsome, very unassuming and down-to-earth, the couple are quickly becoming two of the most noted gay males in all of Atlanta and they have absolutely no air about them. They will embrace you like a brother or sister and show love to support anyone who's down to support a cause. The word is in Atlanta that most people who reach a certain status level look down on others. But not for Juan and Gee. They work hard to lift people up. For them, acceptance is everything.
This past Saturday Juan Sessions and Gee Smalls continued to spread their message of love, unity and inclusion, by hosting the second annual Gentlemen's Ball at the Mason Murer Museum, a black-tie fundraiser benefiting AID Atlanta's Evolution project. The ball brought out Atlanta's gay males in droves for an evening of class and elegance. White, black, tall, short, old and young men from all walks of life joined in the celebration and were dressed to the nines. Hostess Eva Marcille of America's Next Top Model captivated the audience and Broadway songstress Frenchie Davis capped the evening with an incredible vocal performance. Blue Flame Resources as well as the Food Network and Celebrity chef Alex Hernandez provided the night's delectable cuisine.
The couple wore tuxedos with coral blue matching details, Juan with a coral blue bow tie and Gee with a coral blue scarf. Music wafted throughout the event as a sea of gentlemen mixed and mingled, took pictures, embraced each other with a great sense of brotherhood and appreciation to represent themselves at an event that was judge-free and fabulous.
"The Gentlemen's Ball is about uplifting our community and letting the world know just how proud we are to be exactly the Gentlemen we were created to be," said Juan and Gee, "It's time to change society's perception of us and that can't be done until we stand tall in our own truth. Let's all stand together!"
And it's a sentiment that is now shared by the President of the United States who became the first President to use 'Gay' in an inauguration speech by stating "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law…for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
Juan and Gee who have been married for 3 years and together for five, expects to continue to host this event every year and expand it. Their goal is for all gay me to feel empowered so there are less occurrences of suicide and hopefully more males coming out as openly gay instead of staying on the "down low" and hiding their identity.
The Evolution Project is committed to the prevention of and education about sexually transmitted diseases and the lives that they affect daily. They provide access to HIV testing and STD screening at on and off-site locations.

Here I am, enjoying my last week in Richmond. I've been busy making plans so I can see all my dear friends before I leave, and crossing off my bucket-list of things to experience in Richmond. I'm also looking forward to being reunited with my mother (hasn't been that long since I last saw her, but still…), my best friend, and the beach. I'm just imagining myself basking in the sun, eating papaya from the backyard, while ohhh yes figuring out the beginning of this new part of my life–after college.
I finally opened up my box of Amy's Roasted Vegetable, no-cheese pizza. After hearing so many great things about it, I bought it so I could have it when I didn't have time to cook. Well, since I cooked a lot in batches this past school year that time never came around. So I just had it when one day I was in the mood for pizza. So what'd I think? It was surprisingly and fortunately yummy!
If you don't remember I don't blame you. That venture stopped almost a year ago since I didn't have a car anymore. Good cheese can be expensive, but luckily Trader Joe's made it affordable. So no car meant no more trips to Trader Joe's. No Trader Joe's meant less thoughts about trying new cheeses. Since my step-dad has been in town though, on the weekends we've been going there and I picked up a block of Idiazabal cheese. It's made from sheep's milk, and has that savory nutty flavor that I taste in most Spanish cheeses. I baked it over Amy's cheese-less pizza… making it no longer cheese-less, but even tastier.
I thought I'd sneak in a picture of something random I ate.
I had brussels sprouts and mushrooms on hand so when I stumbled upon this recipe for 'Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Wild Mushrooms' I made it right away! This is great for a side dish.
The exterior and interior of this place are really something to marvel at.
Let's rewind to while my mom was visiting. I had bought some turnips when I was out grocery shopping for her stay. I don't think I've actually cooked turnips before so I looked up some recipes I thought may taste good.
Turnips taste like a slightly bitter potato, so I also made a turnip mash.
Did you know that turnip lanterns are an old tradition? "Since inaugural Halloween festivals in Ireland and Scotland, turnips (rutabaga) have been carved out and used as candle lanterns. At Samhain, candle lanterns carved from turnips — samhnag — were part of the traditional Celtic festival. Large turnips were hollowed out, carved with faces and placed in windows, used to ward off harmful spirits. At Halloween in Scotland in 1895, masqueraders in disguise carried lanterns made out of scooped out turnips."
I pretty much followed this recipe for Raw Vegan Waldorf Salad with Apple Chia Dressing, except I didn't have dried cranberries on hand so I used raisins instead. This satisfied my need for something cooling in such a delicious way.
Well, I got to making pancakes with chocolate chips this time to go with local fresh strawberries, although this time I didn't make the batter into one big omelet.
These were a hit, and were served with a yummy blueberry pomegranate ice cream from a local creamery.
I had leftover coconut cream so I thought these cookies would be a great way to use up the cream. I don't bake oftehn since I'm a small crowd, but when there's a larger crowd I pull out the recipes I've been wanting to try. Baking is something that brings a lot of happiness to my heart because of how easy it is to share. And when you're sharing something yummy then the love you give gets sent right back to you!
Would you consider yourself more of a baker or a cook? And what do you love about them?

Powerful Tool
Within the new breed of rock bands, there's a category (more or less) that doesn't very well lend itself to traditional rock-crit ranting. Food metaphors and over-the-top hyperbole fairly demand to be jettisoned in favor of some more down-to-earth description. In the case of Los Angeles band Tool, the words "righteously pissed off" come to mind.
It's a territory Tool shares with Rage Against the Machine and especially the Rollins Band. Metal-tinged rock meets a charismatic frontman with something -- often something unpleasant -- to say about the state of the union, self or art. Henry Rollins is the present paragon, but Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan walks a similar path with a secret weapon in tow: the man can sing.
Tool's Undertow is a year old this month, but it's the kind of record that builds slow and keeps on building. A second-stage slot on last summer's Lollapalooza turned into a main-stage attraction halfway through
the tour, and a high-tech video for "Sober" and the more recent buzz over Tool's latest single, "Prison Sex," have kept the band in the spotlight.

Tool's music is solid, inventive metal, but the real attraction is Keenan's arrowhead mohawk and neurotically cramped stage presence. There's a charisma at work comparable to that of Rollins and Brutal Juice's Craig Welsh, and if you can let Keenan draw you into the articulately twisted space inside his head, you'll leave feeling like you've been someplace new. No mean trick in modern alt-rock.
Up-and-comers Failure and the perpetually underrated Flaming Lips -- still my vote for the best rock band on the planet -- open the show, so be there early.

Skip to comments.Exit Poll - Newt has early lead in Florida
Posted on 01/31/2012 9:24:11 AM PST by Triple
Early exit polling shows that Newt has a slim lead over Romney.
Faux GOP-E Romney News should be calling it for Romney within the next hour.
Well, they have been calling it for Romney for weeks, but they will do it again very soon.
GO NEWT GO......this is not just about picking a president, its about the very survival of our country!!
Newt wins Florida
Judge Malihi boots 0bambi from the ballot in GA court tomorrow
and the icing on the cake.......
Maliki also sanctions 0bambi's lawyer for dissing the court.
my wife and I just voted on Lewis speedway mate.
We met two in front of us who were voting for Newt as well.
ok then - I guess I'm off your Christmas card list.
Have a nice day!
you're not in the game are you?
In Ma they still vote down ere using absentee, they get a vacation address, register on vacation and then get their absentee.
Yea I know that is why bozo the clown won my state by cheating
LOL Just said the same, by 7 to night FOX will call it for their establishment messiah even though polls are still open because of the time zone
to Hell with the polls!""""
I read a poll yesterday that said Mitt held a 15 point lead over Newt:
They 'surveyed' 737 people in the state of Florida.
That didn't seem like a very deep poll, based upon the population of all of Florida, so I dismissed it.
One thing we all have to remember: The people who ARE polled, their party affiliation & exactly how the questions are phrased can be very misleading.
IF I poll only 70% Democrats & 20% 'Republicans' & 10 % "Independents'....I can certainly get poll answers which may parallel the results from my poll which are what the person PAYING for this poll wishes to hear & tout all day long on the BIASED media. Some networks sing to the same old songs, each & every election.
I live rural. We almost all have some sort of large animal out here.
IF I were to poll downtown Pacoima & ask them how many large animals they have & then poll with the same questions a rural area like where I live, I would get entirely different answers.
Polls can be so craftily twisted that I really no longer pay alot of attention to them.
That would make for a very elderly zotee, Triple goes back a long ways!
It's not going to last. Newt will lose Florida. I am just hoping it is not an embarrassing blow-out. He looks to pick up delegates on Super Teusday.
There will be no zot.
I'm not sure how this is going to come out. I'm thinking that it's going to be close. Looking at RCP, I doubt that Romney is going to get as high as 41%, Santorum will get as high as 13%, and Paul (remember this is a closed primary) as high as 10+%. Will the differences be enough to put Newt over the top, though? I dunno.
I gotta say, though, that...
1) after all of the money Romney has spent,
2) after all of the nasty ads by Romney,
3) after a mediocre performance by Newt in the debates (he merely did OK, hitting singles instead of Grand Slams),
4) With all of the media pulling for Romney
5) And after every single poll projects a blowout for Romney
....Anything beyond a huge (15+%) win for Romney is an effective loss. He shot his bolt to get FL, but there's still 46 (53? lol! ) states left.
Could well be a squeaker for Newt given the large body of undecideds. I don't see any other candidate, blemishes or no, that has shown close to as much gumption in endeavoring to root out the Obama rot. Mitt seems to be the ever-cautious one. I hope the undecideds agree. Looks like we are on the brink of Contract With America II, but this time without having to triangulate around Rats. We could do far, far worse.
Any news of Newt up in the polls and all of a sudden, we'll see a gaggle of black suburbans hurtling down I-95 with a bunch of boxes FULL of newfound early votes!
....all for Mitt, of course.
Do NOT count Newt out! The wife and my **minions** are yet to vote and its Newt all the way. But seriously, a lot of friends and family know I'm "into" politics so they want my opinion. I'm happy to oblidge, but they don't know I'm just your average FReeper. Well, some do.
You've got *minions?*
How can I get some minions?
It takes years of study and careful planning to have minions. That and frequent pool parties that begin with a power point presentation on conservobabes vs liberal harpies. And daquiris....lots of daquiris.
Hmmm, I'll try the daquiris first ...and then go from there.
Hmmm, I'll try the daquiris first ...and then go from there.
Maybe if I didn't repeat myself so much, I'd get some minions.
Not familiar with the demographics of the Florida electorate. Is Brevard county conservative?
Are you sure Romney isn't actually Al Gore?
Ever notice how, when Romney's "up" and excited and getting people all worked up about ManBearPig, he looks, moves, acts, and sounds just like the Gorebot?
Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen Mittens and the Gorebot in the same room at the same time?
It's the Space Coast. part unemployed space industry workers, part NE retirees, and a smattering of natives.
The Emperor is merciful today.
Nice, that means that my husband and myself have minions.
We do the same, but have our own special pool drink.
Well that explains your unscientific poll.
Are those those little oniony things you drop in your extremely dry, 15 o F Stoly martini?
I thought I did once.
But it was an antique store with two cigar store wooden Indians.
That explains everything!
I was the only voter at my precinct in Brevard an hour ago. In over 30 years here, I've never seen such a light turnout.
You are absolutely right. Thank you for such an insightful
post. ManBearPig fits your brilliant analogy to a tee.
He is "more forgiving" than I am!(deep bass voice, heavy breathing)
He is "more forgiving" than I am!(deep bass voice, heavy breathing)
"The RCP average is Romney +13, so that's the "pros" consensus."
Does that mean 13% above the others combined total?
"How can I get some minions?"
Aisle 9, top shelf, next to the spices......
Ha, ha! Love it!

Why Gardening Is Good For The Soul
As you travel, you may see homes with beautiful gardens, especially in older neighborhoods that stand out because of the thought-out landscape. You may wonder to yourself how did the gardener visualize the result? This article will give you some excellent advice on how to plant a garden that you will enjoy for years to come.
Grow seasonings and kitchen herbs in your garden. Herbs are generally very simple to grow, and can even be made to thrive in a window box or indoor pot. However, these easy plants are very expensive to buy at the store. Growing them yourself can save you significant amounts of money so something that you might really want to think about looking at is wildflower turf to get you back through this.
When planting next season's vegetable garden, it is important to rotate some of the crops. For example, potatoes and tomatoes should be planted in a different spot because they are both prone to the same diseases. Keep your vegetable garden healthy and thriving by learning which crops need rotating and why.
When the vegetable season is over, grow a shoulder season crop if possible. Fruits like strawberries or raspberries bear fruit very early or very late in the season before or after the summer vegetable crops take over and can be planted. Raspberries can be planted to bear fruit in the fall and strawberries can be planted to bear fruit in the spring.
Make sure you are realistic about your gardening abilities. It is easy to get excited about the possibilities that your garden holds. However, it does not make sense to purchase seeds that will not thrive in your climate. Research what type of plants you can successfully grow and stick to your list when shopping.
Look at your planting area before you purchase any rose bushes. Some varieties of roses can be finicky in the type of soil or planting environment that they need. On the other hand, there are other varieties that are hearty enough to tolerate a variety of conditions. So, when you know what type of growing environment your roses will live in, you can choose the most suitable variety.
Let's face it. You know that there is always going to be a difficult spot or an area that needs improving in your yard or garden. That is what gardening is all about. You may think that you have done everything you can for your garden and return the very next day and visualize new plans. So don't fret, and just get out there and garden to your heart's content!

Castle Towers is the centerpiece of the Castle Hill trading precinct. The Centre was constructed in 1982 and has been significantly upgraded and extended to be one of Australia's largest and most productive shopping centres. The Centre is the first choice retail destination for Hills district locals who enjoy the relaxed one stop retail, leisure and entertainment environment.
Castle Towers opened in 1979 with majors Kmart, Coles and Norman Ross. The Centre was expanded to include David Jones and Franklins in 1991. In 1993, the Event Cinemas site (formerly Greater Union), was launched and Target replaced Norman Ross. In 1999, the second Event Cinemas site opened, as well as 44 specialty retailers including The Piazza restaurant precinct. In 2000, Target and David Jones launched their extensions with the addition of BiLo and a further 76 stores. In 2001 a two level Grace Bros (now Myer) opened together with our upmarket fashion precinct including 34 retailers. In 2009 some great additions have joined the Centre mix, including a whole new level of Myer on Lower Level with homewares, furniture and electrical, Max Brenner Chocolate Bar, Bed Bath N' Table, MIMCO, Rebel Sport with more to come!
Check out the latest additions to the Castle Towers retail mix over the last six months including: Premonition, Eclectic Edition, Seed Heritage and Rodeo Show. Find out where these stores are located in Centre here.

OK, so the shorty might have overtaken it in the fashion stakes recently but the thong is still making news. Our favourite current lingerie-related story concerns a dog named Arnie, who hit the headlines when he ate a thong belonging to his owner, Miriam Walters, and had to be rushed to the vet. "Mrs Walters admitted to feeling 'incredibly embarrassed' when surgery revealed the contents of his stomach," revealed the BBC.
If you share Arnie's fondness for thongs, you can see some of our latest styles here.

Since it was built in 1968, the Kirner-Johnson building (KJ) has been a favorite of students on both sides of the Hill. The open design and irregular shape offer a variety of interesting classroom, study, office and gathering spaces. Unfortunately, it is no longer the kind of space needed by the students and teachers who use them.
Built originally for 650 Kirkland College students, KJ now serves almost three times that many people. It is home to the departments of government and economics, which account for the largest enrollments and about a third of the majors in the Class of 2005. The building also contains the centers for writing and oral communication and the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center. And it holds the much-visited offices of the Dean of Students and the Registrar.
KJ is the equivalent of an overworked multi-tasker on the verge of a nervous breakdown. To relieve the stress on the building and the people in it, the College plans to expand and renovate KJ so it can more effectively serve its vital purposes.
In recent years, Hamilton has intensified its traditional focus on writing -- and even more so under its new curriculum. Teaching students to write well is part of every faculty member's job.
All our undergraduates, during their first two years on the Hill, are encouraged to take four small classes -- called Proseminars -- that offer intense interaction among students and instructors in which writing, speaking and discussion are emphasized. Students must also pass three courses within the standard curriculum that call for extensive writing and rewriting; in this way, they are not learning to write in a vacuum, but to practice the skill on subjects they care about.
To supplement the efforts of the faculty and provide extra guidance to students who need or want it, Hamilton founded the Nesbitt-Johnston Writing Center in 1987. Its staff conducts about 2,500 hour-long conferences each year, most of them by 26 peer tutors, the College's best student writers, who are also among its top overall achievers. In the past five years, 93 percent of the tutors have graduated with College honors.
Tutors confer with their peers on a variety of assignments and on all aspects of writing, helping them to organize their ideas, improve their grammar and develop a style. About 85 percent of all Hamilton students take advantage of this service, and more than half of them have at least three conferences during their college careers. Some students, even very capable ones, come back regularly for help (the record for one student, a history major, is 87). About half the conferences are initiated by the student; the rest are required or suggested by faculty members.
A five-year study being conducted by the College, known as the Mellon Assessment Project, shows that Hamilton students -- many of them clients of the Writing Center -- really do improve their writing over at least the first two years. (The Mellon Project, which is expanding its focus to the junior and senior years, compares a student's writing from different classes and grade levels. It has attracted attention from other colleges who are also interested in measuring student outcomes.)
Given the number of people who use its services and the importance of its mission to the College, the Writing Center is severely short of space. The narrow room it occupies is of limited use for tutor conferences, many of which are held in nearby classrooms. A well-established program like this one needs dedicated tutorial spaces, a staff meeting room and a computer lab, which the expansion of KJ will make possible.
Hamilton alumni over a certain age tend to recall the four-year public speaking requirement with the pride and nostalgia of military veterans who have somehow managed to survive the conflict.
Although Hamilton students since 1969 have been relieved of this duty, they are no less compelled to speak with cogency and precision. To help them along, the College founded the Oral Communication Center in 1999 and reaffirmed in its strategic plan the high value it places on oral expression.
Learning to speak well at Hamilton is everywhere a practical necessity. In the Proseminars mentioned above, 40 percent of the student's grade depends on participation in class discussion. In the new Sophomore Seminars that emphasize interdisciplinary learning, students are required to present their conclusions publicly. Oral communication skills are also essential for the many juniors who spend a semester or year abroad, just as they are for seniors when they deliver their final papers or projects.
The Oral Communication Center functions much like its counterpart for writing, offering help to students who apply for it on their own or at the suggestion or dictate of a faculty member. Students learn speaking techniques that cover a variety of situations: formal occasions in front of large groups; informal ones, in seminars or conference rooms; and even one-on-one conversation. They see and hear themselves on videotape, a powerful tool for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of oral presentation.
Instructors take neither a one-size-fits-all nor a content-neutral approach; they understand that each academic discipline has its own needs and expectations for oral presentation. Science majors, for example, might be taught the most convincing ways to secure funding for research projects, while history students may learn how to present controversial findings that shine a new light on past events. Art majors might post their work and field questions about it, as if at a gallery opening. And although speaking style is important, instructors spend about 60 percent of their time on what is said rather than how, on the theory that the best delivery in the world is worthless if you don't have something substantial to say.
The center also offers small, open enrollment courses that teachers may recommend for students who want or need more help than most. They require a commitment of 15-17 hours over a seven-eight week period and offer practice in listening as well as speaking skills.
The Oral Communication Center, which serves a yearly average of about 450 students, faces one key difficulty; it cannot be found by anyone who looks for it, because it has no space of its own and lives a nomadic existence. Instructors and students borrow KJ classrooms temporarily not in use and are forced to vacate them when the rightful tenants arrive. They do more scrambling than most quarterbacks, carrying video cameras instead of footballs.
With the expansion of KJ, the center will have a 20-seat classroom in which students can practice their skills, supported by 21st-century communications technology: digital cameras on tripods, data projectors, wireless keyboards and mouses, a flat-screen projector, white boards (what's written on them can be printed and handed out at the end of a presentation) and teleconferencing capabilities that enable our students to team with groups on other campuses. Video cameras, activated by motion, will be built into the walls and ceilings so that instructors don't have to critique presentations from the back of the room while trying to deal with cameras and tripods.
The new center will also have staff offices, student space that houses computers and other learning and support materials, practice rooms with a digital video playback system, conference rooms where students and instructors can discuss and critique presentations, and a library where teachers can learn about new ways to incorporate oral communication into their courses.
The Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center occupies a small space in KJ, from which a variety of programs are administered. These include student outreach to the Clinton and Utica-area communities; faculty-student research on local community issues; fieldwork and conferences; a forum for students and faculty members to discuss current local and national issues; and the Levitt Scholars program.
The proximity of the Levitt Center to social science faculty and students is not accidental. The center helps them develop partnerships with local governmental and not-for-profit agencies and provides oversight or support for independent student research projects that may benefit the community. Each spring, a seminar is taught at the center in which up to 12 students learn a range of methods for evaluating local social programs and then go out to conduct research and compile reports. Recent topics include: domestic violence services in Oneida County, refugee resettlement at the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees, and a local instructional program alternative to school suspension. The neighboring city and towns thus become a kind of laboratory for the social sciences, in which our students' fieldwork not only contributes to the well-being of the community, but prepares them to tackle the same issues on a national scale later on.
Levitt Scholars also reach out to communities, but in a different way. About 30 juniors and seniors each year, chosen by the faculty, travel to various high schools (frequently in their own hometowns) to talk about their academic experiences. Invited to speak to classes or student assemblies, they may discuss a research project or an important paper, an experience of studying abroad or a specific skill they've learned. To prepare for their presentations, the Levitt Scholars take a quarter-unit public speaking course, which is taught by the director of the Oral Communication Center -- another example of the synergy that takes place between different but related activities in KJ.
Rare is the college admissions brochure that doesn't somewhere picture a ring of young people discussing Socrates or Shakespeare while seated under the sheltering branches of an old oak tree.
This scene, though often less than scrupulously typical, is not a rank fiction (even at Hamilton) when set on a bright, warm late April afternoon.
But the oak seems to hold little charm these days for Hamilton's social science faculty, except perhaps as flooring material for a new kind of classroom. Innovative teaching methods coupled with the advance of technology have caused educators around the country to rethink the way classrooms are designed, and Hamilton plans to apply these ideas in the expanded KJ.
In the KJ of today, most of the classrooms are of traditional size and shape. Their configuration compels students to look at their teachers -- not at each other -- suggesting, as one professor puts it, "that the important stuff is up front." In the most heavily enrolled government and economics classes, 40 students may be squeezed into classrooms whose size, shape and fixed furniture limit the ways in which courses can be taught.
The lack of flexibility in the traditional classroom also hampers the effective use of computer technology, now a valuable teaching aid in all the sciences, social as well as physical. The economics professor who demonstrates how markets actually function, the anthropologist who shows how societies are created, the government teacher who compares election results among different demographic groups -- all this can be done, in real time, with the active contribution of students at their computer terminals. In KJ's already overcrowded classrooms, however, these wonders are hard to come by. The computer hardware that makes them possible must be shoehorned into rooms built many years before such tools existed, making it even harder for students to interact with teachers and with each other, no matter how useful the technology.
What should the classrooms of the future look like? Other liberal arts colleges have already put new pedagogical approaches into practice in what they call case method classrooms. In ideal form, these are large, flexible spaces with portable furniture arranged in the shape of a horseshoe. Everyone in the room can easily see the faces and hear the voices of everyone else. Even in a large class, a teacher in the middle of the horseshoe can be within six feet of every student.
Case method classrooms are equipped with computers, too, but thanks to the way they're configured, they don't separate students from each other. The ceilings are high and the rooms wide enough to enable the unobstructed projection of clear images on a large screen -- and under normal classroom lighting conditions.
These rooms and the learning they make possible offer an agreeable paradox. They are spacious, yet intimate; they depend on technology, yet favor human interaction; they are innovative, yet serve the oldest and most fundamental requisite of a Hamilton education -- that each student be treated as an individual.
In addition to new classrooms, the expanded KJ will bring all the social sciences together under one roof.
Both large and small classrooms will serve the needs of the various departments. As in the new Science Center, faculty offices will be proximate to classrooms, so that teachers and students can carry over class discussion to the faculty member's office or to the commons space the building will also contain. There will also be plenty of spaces for students to gather informally to work together or individually. The whole building will function as an extension of the classroom.
The new KJ will also exploit the natural synergy among its occupants. The social sciences, with their large enrollments and voluminous need to document and present their findings, provide a continuous stream of clients for the Writing and Oral Communication centers. As noted earlier, the Levitt Center is closely tied to the Oral Communication Center and is also a natural companion to the departments that make up the social sciences. The three centers share other affinities, and in the expanded KJ they will also share a multi-storied glassed-in commons area overlooking Martin's Way. Writing and speaking, the centerpieces of the new curriculum, will finally have the spaces they deserve.
The College will need $23 million to expand and renovate the Kirner-Johnson buildings, of which $7.5 million will be raised by the Excelsior Campaign. The rest will be generated through bonds already issued by the College so that work on this essential project can begin as soon as possible.
Sometimes students just stare at you. They're required to come, but they don't want to be there. Or they've volunteered, but don't know what to do. So I start by asking them what I should look for. What's one thing they'd like to change about their writing? And we spend the hour on that. The next time, we concentrate on something else, and slowly, we make progress. I can see improvement in the writing. It makes me happy to see people overcome their problems.
I came to Hamilton because of its emphasis on writing and on interdisciplinary study, which compels you to look at things in various ways. Good writers do that; they take different perspectives and go beyond themselves through use of simile and metaphor. They connect things. It's so rewarding for me to read a paper that applies literary theory to anthropology, or a philosophical style with psychological subject matter. That's high-end writing and thinking, and it's indicative of the intellectual atmosphere at Hamilton. It represents the best of the liberal arts.
– Chris Takacs, a senior fellow and double major in philosophy and sociology, is a peer tutor at the Writing Center
We teach some large classes in the social sciences, and we need classrooms that bring students and teachers closer together, that encourage interactive -- not passive -- learning. This is not about the most efficient way to squeeze 40 students into a room; it's about having enough space and flexibility so we can take advantage of our strengths. The KJ renovation will enable us to incorporate technology into the classroom without losing the feeling of intimacy. People actually do function differently when the environment is improved; the business world recognizes this, the professional schools recognize it, and so do some of our peer schools. We have a great social sciences program and tremendous student interest in it. We're not building a field of dreams; they've already come, and we need to make it better for them.
– Paul Hagstrom, Associate Professor of Economics and Co-Coordinator of the on-campus planning committee for the social sciences

The Eagles are in great need of playmakers, but they should be careful not to overreach for players just to fill holes on their roster. A good GM drafts both for need and the best player available, and taking a player too high could have drastic, long-term consequences for the franchise.
All of the following players on this list are excellent prospects, but due to the circumstances of the Eagles and the picks they have, they would be reaches and wasted opportunities for the Eagles to address other needs with better talent.
