text: Review Content Add a special touch Its a great whiskey glass that makes one feel a bit spoiled and special. Dont we all deserve that? It was a fun & very useful gift. It is so unique & very useful. Bourbon Drinking Husband Loved It My husband is a regular bourbon drinker and loves this gift. Wants a second one. best rocks glass EVER! what an amazing difference a glass makes!! I will Have Another, Please! My wife really enjoyed it as well. We can now relax and have that glass of Germany congac that we both enjoy. It is great to have a cool drink without the water down with regular ice. A! Making!!! My husband used it the day he opened it Christmas eve. Chills sipping liquor super fast and no water down from the ice. Kept cold pour after pour and he finished up what all he wanted to drink long before it ever watered down his whisky or melted down enough that hed have to replace another ice sphere. Well always keep a lot of ice spheres ready to go in the freezer for a ready whisky drink in his favorite drinking glass now as well as for other drinks for every one to enjoy a cold drink with no watered down beverage. The Only bad thing is that it was such an awesome drinking glass with the bonus effects of that ice sphere, that every single person in my family wants me to get them one now! Especially all the whiskey drinking boys in this hoorah of a family! Love this..! Love this, should have ordered more, will be doing that soon. Wish it was sold as a set, or have the option to add more at a discount. On the Rocks is now On the Sphere As your drink chills quicker, it is easier to drink before being diluted by ice water. The ice-sphere easily slides around, even if only partially filled with beverage and the ice is not floating. Just be careful not to overfill the ice-sphere mold so you get a good sphere. Hope I dont wear out the mold too soon, will see how long it lasts. Best whiskey glass This glass blooms the flavor of whiskey without ice or water. It allows drinkers to fully experience the taste of the drink. Highly recommended! product is great f0r coolingdrinks when Im having a relaxing drink Works better than the $300.00+ alternative The rock glass works very well. We use it with drinks we dont want watered down as the ice melts. I received a much more expensive product as a gift, which does the same thing. Rock glass works better! Great for Whiskey Drinks My boyfriend makes his own whiskey drinks and enjoyed this product as a way to prevent the drinks from being watered down. I found the product to be durable and lightweight. Excellent concept, excellent product Product came quickly; 2-3 days maybe? Gave it as a gift to both bf and brother for their birthdays since they both enjoy a glass of scotch once in a while. Bf immediately put the ice ball together and put it in freezer. Couldnt use it same night (started too late) but he used it next day. Swirling was easy and he loves it. Havent heard from brother yet but he certainly loved the idea. Drinks All Around These glasses have a great design. As avid scotch/whiskey drinkers, we love the practicality of the concept of rolling the ice ball on an uneven glass bottom. It makes perfect sense. purchased for gifts for Xmas ~ so have no feedback to give These are Xmas gifts so cannot give a rreview. AWESOME!!!! At first, I thought the product a bit pricey. The look on their faces were priceless. It was well worth the price. For the discerning drinker This glass, along with the concept of slow-melting ice is perfect for one who is enjoying expensive beverages Doesnt work that well Doesnt make a smooth ice ball Awesome scotch glass It was a gift for a scotch drunker. It comes with an ice ball maker except I bought 2 and one was missing the acrylic ice ball maker. Gift was a hit He loves it! I got for a birthday present and he uses it all the time now. Glass feels good in my hand. The round ice ball is great! Glass feels good. Fun way to chill whiskey Bought a couple of these as a gift. He loved the glasses and we tried them out the next night. Id recommend these for someone who likes to chill their whiskey. Rocks glass My friend loves the convenience of this product and the fact that it prevents his drink from being watered down.Great purchase. A conversation piece My husband is an inveterate Tennessee whiskey drinker but doesnt like ice to melt too fast. This single ice ball is perfect for him to roll around in the glass. Nothing not to like. Perfect Gift This was a great gift for my boss. He loved it! Meh Not well made. For one and the glass had a bubble in it, so I sent it back and then fot another and the glass had multiple bubbles in the side of the glass. Not going to exchange it again because its such a hassle and it took forever to get back. Nice concept This is a great product and love the concept. Make sure not to fill the mold completely. Just be careful, as the cup is fragile. My cup had a crack so I called Sharper Image and received great customer service. I will buy a second one for when we have guest. With Scotch Great Gave it as a gift, comes in a nice package and elegant looking Completely happy---perfect size---very attractive. The ball shaped ice last longer in your drink and looks great. Great product Great gift idea. Good quality glass and ice mold Simply awesome Got it as a gift for my daughters kindergarden teacher. He absolutely loves it. Says his whiskey now stays cool while hes running, biking, in the subway, in the bus, and even driving to work. Would absolutely recommend it.

Other than that I am VERY bloated and constipated, get very nauseous at night (most likely bc I take vitamin before bed which I may have to stop doing and switch the timing), and I get really hungry all the sudden/like low blood sugar weak.
Anyone know about this throat thing?? It's really uncomfortable!

Good luck MElissa. It seems like the new job is working out even if it is busy. Good for you!
Cleaning is on my agenda too. Last night I did the living room and kitchen blinds and windows. I did some dusting too. I need to do some major cleaning tonight and tomorrow but at least some of it is done. I also have to pull down the suitcases.
Tomorrow my brother is adopting a dog! He needs a companion and we look long and hard. His name is Benny and he is a feist or a fiest. Not sure the spelling. He is super cute. I will go with him for the pick up tomorrow. Exciting! The kids are so excited too.
Other than that just cleaning this weekend.

Two weeks ago, Missouri Valley College President Bonnie Humphrey along with several MVC officials, presented a proposed student center to members of the Board of Public Works.
That morning, board members considered how they could assist the college in its $6.5 million project and Tuesday, Feb. 28, came to a decision.
"We are so fortunate that we have this institution out here on our home grounds," said board member Jim Heinzler. "Nearly 100 years they've been providing education for this community. They have been providing money for the utilities that we've served them with over the years. We have some outstanding people that have come out of that institution, and right now we have an outstanding president ... "
Heinzler moved MMU donate the materials and labor costs necessary to establish utility connections.
Because the water department would not be able to sustain the donation, Administrative Services Director Ken Gieringer suggested the electric department fund the water department's portion through its economic development funding.
"We always find money for these other things (projects)," Heinzler said, adding he'd support the interdepartmental funding.
According to MMU General Manager Kyle Gibbs, the donation reflected as a dollar amount could also allow the college to generate matching funds for the construction of the building.
Board members approved the donation Tuesday morning.
Since 2010, MVC has added a dormitory for rodeo student athletes, updated Gregg-Mitchell Field as well as constructed Viking Villages -- four on-campus apartments buildings for eligible undergraduate students.
In other news, the name of the firm that's used by Bank Midwest to make MMU's investments has changed to LPL Financial LLC, and board members approved a resolution to reflect that change in ownership. They also approved the electric production department's request to replace five exterior doors using in-house labor.
This project is budgeted at $10,000, according to a report from Electric Production Director Jim Johnson. In 2004, the board had approved this project at an estimated cost of $8,000 for six doors, and one has since been replaced. The department plans to replace the remaining five, including doorframes and hardware.
After their regular meeting, board members went into closed session to discuss personnel matters. The next regular meeting is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 13.

Project Description
This is a web design project that includes graphic design and logo design. The website will be for a marketing consulting business.
For the website, the actual coding can probably be done in HTML and CSS.
For graphics, there will be a horizontal bar near the top of the page that contains buttons ("Home", "About", "Contact", etc). Above that bar, there will be the logo on a graphically colored background, and the logo will contain both an icon and text.
All the HTML/CSS pages will be the same at the time of production, with the same graphic design and logo on top.
I have attached a sample layout. It is a small site, and I am seeking a cost around $200-300.
I am seeking original designs only, _Not_ templates.
The design is for a small site, but it should still be high-quality.
I also want full ownership of the design upon completion, and all source files are to be transferred to me upon completion.
Let me know if you are interested.

How To Be Pro-Life Without Being Violent: Holistic Reproductive Justice
I recently wrote a piece about "Pro-Life Pacifism" as a form of violence.

Contributing to someone having to give birth against their will is a form of horrific violence.Though I stand by that piece, I do want to be clear that I believe there are ways to be pro-life without also supporting violence against pregnant people.

Dumped prime minister Sir Michael Somare ordered army mutiny
- From: AAP
- January 26, 2012
PAPUA New Guinea's deputy prime minister has given mutinous soldiers who seized the Murray Barracks in Port Moresby less than three hours to clear out or face the full force of the law.
Belden Namah, deputy to Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, has declared Sir Michael Somare is insane after it was revealed the former prime minister had ordered former army colonel Yaura Sasa to oust Brigadier-General Francis Agwi and take control of the armed forces.
Colonel Sasa told reporters in Commander Agwi's office today he was giving Governor-General Sir Michael Ogio seven days to reinstate Sir Michael under a court order, saying the leadership stand-off should only then be sorted out on the floor of parliament.
But Mr Namah, who ousted Somare with Mr O'Neill and 70 of the 109 MPs in PNG's single house of parliament, is standing firm.
"Somare has now lost the total respect of the country he fought for independence (for)," he said.
"He was the chief minister, the first prime minister. He is the grand chief.
"I want to say this to Somare: You have lost your mind. You have lost total control of yourself. You have lost your mind. You have lost sanity."
Mr Namah said 15 of the 30 men loyal to Sasa and Somare had been arrested, but those numbers cannot be verified.
He said the army officers had until "4.06pm" - the traditional knock-off time for PNG's civil service - to give himself over to authorities or face the full force of the law.
Mr O'Neill has not been heard from on Thursday, although AAP understands he has been in contact with the Australian High Commission.
Asked where the prime minister was, Mr Namah said he was "still working" and gestured in the direction of parliament.
The events, which began in the early hours of this morning, are the culmination of more than a month of political stalemate in PNG.
Four months after he was dumped by a parliamentary vote of 70 to 24, the Supreme Court of PNG reinstated the Somare government in mid-December.
However, the majority of parliamentarians loyal to Mr O'Neill refused to serve with the 75-year-old Sir Michael and voted to end his 43-year political career as the member for east Sepik.
The army, civil service and police fell in behind Mr O'Neill, leaving Sir Michael and his roughly 20 supporters to operate out of the Ela Beach Hotel in Port Moresby.

It is time for corruption to come to end in PNG. The people suffer enough without people they have elected feathering there own nest. All assetts these people have acumalated because of there position should be confiscated, sold and put back into the country to fund basic services for villages long forgotton.
Aussie in PNG of PNG Posted at 3:19 PM January 26, 2012
Mr Somare you are a dictator who cannot accept that the people of PNG no longer want you as PM. You are no better than Robert Mugabe. You are embarrassing yourself and should back down gracefully. You were once a greatly respected champion of the people, now the people are growing to despise you.
John Jones of Toowoomba Posted at 3:01 PM January 26, 2012
Will Somare be remembered as the Grand Chief, Father of Independence or as the man who couldnt recognise that his time was past and spiralled his country into chaos????? I hope it is the former but it certainly looks like he wants to hold onto power no matter what, a dangerous road indeed.

Fate Uncertain for Miami Herald Building's Iconic Letters
The southern end of the Herald building has already been demolished.
Photo by Trevor Bach
For a half-century the imposing Miami Herald building stood like a sentinel on Biscayne Bay. Massive, bulky, and featuring the tan and canary-yellow color scheme of your grandmother's first apartment, the building wasn't exactly an architectural gem. OK, let's just say it: It was ugly. Like Soviet-military-barracks ugly.
But through the decades, the big block on the bay nevertheless won a place in the hearts of Miamians. Pulitzer Prizes were won there. Absence of Malice was filmed inside. Hurricane Andrew delivered a direct hit and still couldn't knock the old lady down. How could you not love a building like that?
See also: Demolition Begins on Miami Herald Building (Photos)
Now, of course, the Herald and its 650 employees have moved to Doral, after the Biscayne property was bought in 2011 by billion-dollar Malaysian casino company Genting. Demolition started suddenly late last month, and the old building lies in ruins. Its southern flank looks like it was ripped open by a car bomb, and a massive pile of steel and rubble has formed at its base. A few lonely construction cranes lurk like architectural vultures.

But so far, the famous sign, at least -- those beautiful light blue neon letters -- has remained intact. Mostly. Before demolition began, the Herald claimed two of the massive block letters, the M and H, from the building's western-facing side and moved them to storage for a possible reincarnation at the daily's new building.
But the newspaper has no plans of reclaiming the rest -- most, especially from the bay-facing side, were badly corroded after years of exposure to saltwater, said Lourdes Alvarez, the Herald's marketing director. "Even the M and the H need a little work," she said.
So now it's up to Genting, Alvarez said, and a spokesman for the company told Riptide he wasn't aware of any plans to relocate them -- meaning those famous letters, it seems, have been reduced to syllabary orphans. Unclaimed and now invisible, hidden under massive tarps, they have an uncertain future.
It's probably not bright. Once the Herald building is completely gone, the old brown-and-yellow pulverized into dust, will the rubble pile also have a touch of that signature neon blue?

Washington, 7 August (Argus) — Total US electricity generation in 2012 will fall 0.4pc from 2011 and natural gas will narrow coal's lead as the dominant fuel.
Generation fueled by natural gas will increase 23.2pc this year while coal generation is projected to fall 12.1pc, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook released today. Coal will account for 37.3pc of generation in 2012, compared with 42.2pc in 2011. Natural gas will rise to 30.6pc from 24.8pc in 2011.
However, higher natural gas prices relative to coal prices in 2013 will cause a slight reversal. The agency projects coal generation in 2013 will be 37.7pc, compared with a natural gas share of 29.2pc.
Many parts of the country experienced record temperatures this summer and cooling degree-days during July 2012 were about 25pc higher than the 30-year average but about the same as July 2011.
The EIA estimates retail sales of electricity to the residential sector during the first half of 2012 were about 6.4pc lower than the same period in 2011, as a result of mild winter temperatures. Residential sales for the entire year are projected to average about 3pc lower than 2011 sales.

Norwich — Democratic Alderwoman Deberey Hinchey hopes to make history next fall by being elected the first female mayor in the city.
She might have broken ground already Tuesday with her official announcement as a mayoral candidate, as longtime local political activists and local historians could not recall any female mayoral candidate in city history.
"It was pretty much a male preserve," city Historian Dale Plummer said of early 20th century mayoral races.
During the years when Norwich did not have a mayor, however, Bonnie Hong won the top elected spot as City Council president.
Hinchey, 60, a clinical social worker for VNA-East in Mansfield, said Tuesday she would leave her full-time job if she wins the mayoral seat next November, saying the city needs a mayor who is available during the day.
Current Republican Mayor Peter Nystrom has not yet announced whether he will run for a second term, but he has said he is leaning toward seeking re-election. Nystrom works for United Parcel Service.
Hinchey said she would work to better coordinate city agencies to work for economic development. Hinchey said currently, 53 percent of the city's tax base is from property taxes. During the recent unsuccessful campaign to build a $33 million police station, Hinchey said many residents she talked to supported the project, as she did, but decided they just couldn't afford another tax burden.
She said it shouldn't be a difficult job to market the city of Norwich to businesses, given assets such as Norwich Free Academy, Mohegan Park, the waterfront, the Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium and the financially struggling Norwich Municipal Ice Rink that she worked to save last spring.
"I have great faith that we in Norwich are on the cusp of great change," Hinchey said.
Hinchey made her announcement in a crowded conference room at her husband Lloyd Hinchey's law office at 120 Broadway with about 15 family members, friends, supporters and party leaders.
Democratic Town Committee Chairman Frank Manfredi and fellow Alderman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers, council president pro tempore, attended, along with other town committee members.
Manfredi said no other Democrats have contacted the town committee to express interest.
"I wanted to get behind Deb early and let people know she is the best candidate for the city," Manfredi said.
The party nominating convention will be held in May.
Several supporters said they worked with Hinchey in recent years on political campaigns and other issues. Hinchey referred to herself and Desaulniers as "a duo" who worked together to try to rescue the ice rink and on other projects.
"The charter says the mayor is the official representative of the city, and that's what I intend to be," Hinchey said.

Skip to comments.Rewriting the Rules, Sarah Palin-Style: How To run For The White House
Posted on 11/26/2010 4:04:02 PM PST by dselig
US political pundits baffled as former Alaska governor gambles on nationwide book tour and reality TV show
"Sarah Palin has done everything wrong according to the traditional way of campaigning," said Scott Rasmussen, a leading pollster and co-author of a book on the Tea Party. "She gave up her position of power as governor of Alaska, she wrote a book for a lot of money, she has her daughter on Dancing with the Stars, she is on her own reality TV show, she's been incredibly partisan in her politics this is everything that a presidential candidate is supposed not to do."
And yet in its own baffling way her anarchic strategy appears to be working.
Even her daughter's performance in a talent competition (she came third in the finals on Tuesday night) has a political significance in Palinland. The same could be said of Sarah Palin's Alaska. Its audience fell over the first two episodes from a record-breaking 5 million to 3 million viewers, but that's still a lot of eyes watching a thinly disguised extended political advertisement in which Palin is presented as a straight-talking "real" American. Not to mention the $250,000 reported fee per episode that can go straight into her political fighting fund.
For Mark McKinnon, who has worked directly with Palin having prepped her for her vice-presidential debate in 2008 against Joe Biden, it adds up to a political marvel. "Sarah Palin is completely rewriting the political rulebook," he said. "She's proving anything is possible, including running for president and winning the GOP [Republican] nomination in 2012."
McKinnon doubts that she could go on and win against Obama in the presidential election proper because she is such a polarising figure, but even then "she's got a habit of turning conventional wisdom upside down".
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Hee hee hee
I can't believe she's going to be on Jersey Shore next year but it's apparently true.
Let's not forget that Mark McKinnon was the jerk who tried his very best to sabotage Sarah Palin while he was working for McCain. He did succeed in helping McCain to lose.
Looks like he's a bit nervous, now, although he's still badmouthing her as best he can.
$250,000 per episode!!!??? I thought it was a million dollars per episode.
Damn Corrupt Bass Turds. Get your speculations straight.
That's called taking it straight to The People, and you betcha it's befuddling the usual suspects.
McKinnon was the wimp who resigned from the McCAin camp because he didn't want to campaign against Obama...
As it turned out neither did McCain.
Once Rasmussen has her up in a general election poll over Obama then she'll get my vote in the primary...otherwise I'll be looking for someone just as conservative who can win...unfortunately that person doesn't exist...yet...if we're headed towards a Reid-Angle redux, that is not good....
"She gave up her position of power as governor of Alaska, she wrote a book for a lot of money, she has her daughter on Dancing with the Stars, she is on her own reality TV show, she's been incredibly partisan in her politics this is everything that a presidential candidate is supposed not to do."
"...because she is such a polarising figure,"
And oblunder's not?
My mistake. I remembered the name but forgot which jerk he was. The whole McCain staff was stuffed with jerks of one kind or another.
This is the current 'concern'. It's amazing how concerned the establishment is... They are running scared and that is the best that they got because everything other critism is knocked down immediately. Please run Sarah.
Who is going to be on Jersey Shore?
You would have made a solid George H.W. Bush supporter in 1980 against Ronald Reagan. They will never show a real conservative as anything other than an ignorant, "polarizing,' dangerous choice for the GOP.
At some point if we, as conservatives, really want a candidate that represents our values, we will need to come together early behind a single conservative.
Our votes are always split between several conservative candidates, leaving the establishment RINO a clear path to winning with a plurality. It happens every election cycle.
Nixon, Ford, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and now Romney.
It's early, but I am already starting to think a vote for anyone other than Sarah will be a defacto vote for Romney.
She needs to have her own TV show. Like Reagan did. Maybe appear in a movie?
"Sarah Palin has done everything wrong according to the traditional way of campaigning," said Scott Rasmussen, a leading pollster and co-author of a book on the Tea Party. "She gave up her position of power as governor of Alaska, she wrote a book for a lot of money, she has her daughter on Dancing with the Stars, she is on her own reality TV show, she's been incredibly partisan in her politics this is everything that a presidential candidate is supposed not to do."
DURING the 2008 campaign, wasn't it? Yeah, what dumb@ss.
McCain practically campaigned for 0bama instead of justifiably ripping him and his known Commie associations. If that single endorsement from McCain didn't convince anyone that this POS sold out, nothing did.
"Ill be looking for someone just as conservative who can win...unfortunately that person doesnt exist.."
Maybe Haley Barbour will hire a personal trainer and lose a hundred pounds.
We need someone very conservative with executive experience who won't turn colors once in the White House.
That's Sarah Palin. There is no one else except Haley Barbour or Mark Sanford ... maybe if his ex-wife agrees to be his campaign manager? Can ex-Rat Rick Perry really be trusted?
You got me t-dude. I'm a RINO troll. Karl Rove sent me here to say that.
Not my point.
I was just pointing out how the establishment manipulates the narrative.
If you are waiting for them to admit a conservative could win, you are going to have a long wait.
Sorry you took it so personally, my intent was not to insult you.
I am sick of the RINO parade we've had as nominees. I've tried to study what happened in 2008, as that one broke my heart and gave us the Obamanation.
I've come to the conclusion they keep us in line by flooding the field with conservatives to divide and conquer.
They are terrified of Palin, that's obvious. I have to support and defend her because their attacks on her are attacks on me.
"Their attacks on her are attacks on me"
I agree completely and feel the same way. When the press tries to humiliate Palin I see it as them humiliating me and my beliefs.
If we want conservative legislation though we need a conservative in office. I believe if Jim Demint chose to run we'd have a better chance of that happening.
Mitt the plastic man must be pissed having spent 50 million of his own money, and having hand held plastic Democrat Meg Whitman through burning 150 million of her money, and now this...this...commoner from...from Wasilla of all places is getting max traction on peanuts!
Have you become the head honcho of the "George Soros Apologist Conservatives for Sarah Palin Fan Club" now?
You probably thought that post adding Mark Sanford in there was funny, didn't you?
Yes, we elected that saxophone playing philanderer who was disloyal to his family, dragging us through his sordid affairs on TV. THAT was really presidential.
No Sh^^t! A black cryto muslim full out Marxist.
Anyone that says polarizing is an idiot.
Not sure how much of the country agrees though. Even conservative pollsters has Palin trailing Obama.
From what independents tell me, the biggest problem Palin has is that she suddenly quit. She resigned her position as governor before her first term was up.
That decision is going to haunt her. Leaders don't quit.
[if were headed towards a Reid-Angle redux, that is not good]
Angle and Palin have little in common, I ought to know, I ;iterally wrote the book on Reid and was inside to a lot of the Angle mistakes. Angle had foot in mouth disease, Palin does not. Angle hid from reporters, Palin does not. Angle was beholden to the East coast blue bloods for funding, andthat distorted her campaign, Palin doesn't have that problem. Reid was able to buy the election using his casino cronies, Palin won't be up against the same crookedness (and yes I know how bad Obama is).
Trust me, the Angle/Palin comparison doesn't float.
I will give this Brit some credit. At least, he recognizes that a politician of Palin's caliber doe snot play by the rules written in bygone eras. She makes her own rules and wins with them.
It is difficult to take him seriously when he writes something like this, which shows he is just plain lazy, living in the leftist echo chamber, and parroting what he read in Politico or heard on Bill Maher:
"She will also need to find a way of overcoming the damage caused by her frequent verbal gaffes, most recently her warm words towards that good ally, North Korea."
He must have written that before her "57 state" facebook post. It makes this journalist look like a fool. He probably wishes he had held his fire.
We need to keep democrats from voting in our primaries.
That gave us McCain, along with the fact that the whole field was pretty sorry.
If conservatives had followed that logic in 1980, Ronald Reagan would never have been nominated. He was down 34 points to Jimmy Carter in January, 1980 right after the Iowa caucuses. He was down 25 points to Carter in March of 1980 when it was beginning to become apparent that he was going to be nominated.
I think I'll choose someone other than you to be in my foxhole in a political fight to the death for our country. No offense, of course...LOL.
"Polarizing" is current "flavor" of the memes.
"That decision is going to haunt her. Leaders dont quit."
Nothing will ever haunt Sarah Palin. She's a happy warrior who isn't obsessed with becoming President.
Your independent friends may be haunted by their vote(s) for Obama. I sleep well at night knowing I spend my own funds campaigning against him in 2008. It was a lost cause, but it needed to be done.
McKinnon glosses over the fact that Obama is an incredibly polarizing person ~ with or without his teleprompter.
Yes, and of course Palin is the ONLY one who can save this country. I think she's probably the only true conservative politician left in America. She is our messiah, just as Obama was the left's messiah...and if you think she's not a messiah, maybe just a good conservative politician who may not be your first choice, well you are just a RINO, Karl Rove loving troll.
Well, that explains everything. What a wimp.
LMAO...you need some fresh air. You're obviously having hallucinations of cultists everywhere. Seek help.
I was serious. She is the ONE. Sound familiar?
Don't forget that "B" movie Hollywood personality who was supporting actor to a chimpanzee in "Bedtime For Bonzo".
He later narrated a half-hour, short lived, cheezey black & white TV western, "Death Valley Days", and was featured in every episode alongside a team of twenty mules pulling a wagon load of the soap making ingredient, borax, across a barren, tumbleweed strewn desert. Yessirree Bob, a real presidential character making real presidential appearances with real gravitas.
BTW, that "Death Valley Days" guy was replaced by an unnamed narrator known simply as "The Old Timer", a grey-bearded, dusty behatted, toothless guy who, by comparison would have made Gabby Hayes look like Clark Gable. Yep! real, real presidential that Ronald Reagan.
"Yes, and of course Palin is the ONLY one who can save this country."
Ok, then who do you suggest?
Mitt Rommey is the father of Obamacare and gay marriage.
Jim DeMint is a good man, but has no executive experience.
Jim Inhofe was Mayor of Tulsa, but he'll turn 78 in 2012.
John Thune is a doubtful conservative with no executive experience.
Haley Barbour looks much older than Bob Dole in 1996.
Mark Sanford left his wife for that Argentine lady.
George Allen went Macaca on us.
Mitch Daniels wants to make peace with the Rats before the campaign even starts.
Rick Perry was a Rat for most of his life, and may be under an ethical cloud.
Mike Huckabee pardoned far too many violent criminals.
Chris Christie is a moderate who appointed a Rat as his attorney general and a pro-choice woman as his running mate; but at least he's got guts.
Is Tim Pawlenty a real conservative?
Should we draft John Hoeven? He's a banker!
We all want to beat Obama, and are open to suggestions.
So what's your suggestion?
[I was serious. She is the ONE. Sound familiar?]
And perhaps you will name your favorite.
Thank God enough of us didn't swallow the "electability" canard in 1980. The idea that the same people who served up Ford, Bush, Dole and McCain (not to mention Landon and Dewey)should lecture us on electability is a stunning example of hubris.
We ain't swallowing it in 2012 either.
Not to mention the last "bolt-out-of-the-blue" GOP candidate -- the unforgettable Wendell Wilkie in 1940. LOL.
Governor Palin is a genius, IMHO.
Leaders bow to other Kings & Presidents. Leaders organize communities & beer summits. Leaders use teleprompters even in front of school children. Leaders like that get elected every day.

The growth of social media has been meteoric. The B2B sector may have initially been slower to understand and implement social media strategies,
but today it is beginning to utilise social media platforms to not only reinforce brands, but also make tangible commercial gains too.
What is even more astonishing is the speed at which social networks have grown and expanded. Twitter is now processing approximately 200 million tweets per day, and Facebook is rapidly moving towards one billion active users. Users of these networks increased their use by over 82 per cent according to the last survey from the Harvard Business Review.
For all enterprises in the B2B sector, effectively monitoring and analysing their use of social media is a commercial imperative. The latest social media report from Nielsen states that nearly four in five internet users visit social networks.
In their report, 'State of Inbound Marketing Lead Generation', Hubspot revealed B2B companies with an active blog generate 67 per cent more sales leads each month than those that don't blog. These 'new conversations' via the plethora of social networks that have rapidly developed over the last few years, offer B2B companies a chance to not only protect their existing marketshare but push into new potentially lucrative sectors as well.
The Harvard Business Review succinctly states, "Never before have companies had the opportunity to talk to millions of customers, send out messages, get fast feedback and experiment with offers at relatively low costs. And never before have millions of customers had the ability to talk to each other, criticising or recommending products – without the knowledge or input from a company."
Paul Gillin, author of 'The New Influencers' says, "Conventional marketing wisdom long held that a dissatisfied customer tells 10 people. But... in the
new age of social media, he or she has the tools to tell 10 million."
Enterprises that have begun to focus on social networks and the commerce they encompass have realised two things:
1. They must do more to engage with their current and potential customers.
2. They need reliable methods to measure and analyse their activity across the social networks they have a presence within.
Indeed, the Harvard report makes for stark reading, as it states that over three-quarters of businesses surveyed did not know who their most valuable customers are, with less than a third using any form of social media analytical tool. And under 10 per cent of companies are currently able to integrate social media into their marketing activities.
Tom Davenport, an analytics expert says, "Without monitoring conversations on the web, you won't know who's talking about your brand and your products or services, and what the positive and negative sentiments are about them. You won't know how influential a particular praising or criticising customer is. You won't be able to compare different brand messages, commercial videos, etc and see what the quick reaction is to them. In short, you're missing a lot of marketing opportunities."
Clearly the major issue for businesses that want to engage with their customers via social media is tracking these exchanges and interrogating the vast amount of data that can be generated. This is critical, as the commercial influence that customers now have is vast. Indeed a recent report from Performics stated 33 per cent of Twitter users share their views of companies – good and bad – at least once a week with their social networks. This kind of exposure can't be ignored by any business. Only five per cent of companies state they track any kind of sentiment
about their organisations.
Analysing the social media marketing that an enterprise is engaged in is more important today than it has ever been. Businesses have a wealth of
data right across their organisations. When chosen carefully, the analytical platform in use can offer an insight into customer activity and behaviour
that marketers have waited decades to access.

NEW YORK — Wilhelm Schmid, chief executive officer of the quiet, venerable watch company A. Lange & Söhne, visited the U.S. last week — a rare event for the 167-year-old brand. And there could be a lot more visits in the future.
This story first appeared in the June 25, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"This is one of the most important markets, and I've neglected it for too long," Schmid told WWD of his reasons for visiting the U.S. during an interview at the Peninsula Hotel here while on a whirlwind weeklong trip to Miami Beach, New York and Boston. He was in town to exhibit the six new styles the brand unveiled at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, or SIHH, in January at an event last Tuesday at the Museum for German and Austrian Art Neue Galerie.
The trip reflected Schmid's commitment to the American region — one he contends is of the utmost importance to the Compagnie Financière Richemont-owned company.
Despite not having a freestanding door in the U.S. — the brand is carried in just 20 doors in North America — he said the demand for A. Lange & Söhne timepieces is still outrunning the brand's manufacturing capacity. As a result, the company is about to increase capacity significantly, nearly doubling its current space in the Saxony, Dresden area of Germany (the manufacturing facility is in Glashutte, a village in the mountains near Dresden).
"We've outgrown our existing facility and increased capacity at our watchmaking school and we need space," Schmid said of the staff headquarters, where about 200 of the 400 people on the production staff are trained watchmakers. "But I am carefully optimistic — I'm not naïve. There are so many bad signs on the wall, and eventually it might have an impact, but not yet. Our customer is more resilient against an economic crisis. So are we affected in the short term? No. In the long term? Maybe."
WWD reported earlier this month that the market for European luxury goods will steadily grow between 7 and 9 percent a year, and according to a study conducted by the European Cultural and Creative Industries Alliance, or ECCIA, it's estimated that luxury goods can contribute up to 983 billion euros, or $1.1 trillion, to the region's economy.
But Schmid's careful optimism morphed into the slightly vague when asked which region is the most significant businesswise for the company, emerging or otherwise. He rattled off six markets — Germany, Asia, the U.S., the Middle East, Singapore and Russia — stressing that this list is in no particular order.
Four of the brand's five freestanding doors are located in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo, indicating the importance of the Far East. The first store opened in Dresden in 2008, and shops in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will open in September.
He dispelled the stereotype that the Asian consumer doesn't like a "big watch."
"That's history. The playing ground is more leveled now," he said, noting that the one difference he has observed is that the Asian consumer does not like a chronograph. "The U.S. loves them, and so does Europe, but they just don't do well in Asia."
Is there a freestanding door on the horizon for the U.S.? Perhaps one day, according to Schmid, who said he's "always screening the market." For him, it's a balancing act not to jeopardize sales at the brand's retail partners here, such as Wempe and Cellini.
It's not a "numbers" game to Schmid, and opening new points of sale in the region isn't a strategic decision. It's more about going for the best doors and finding ideal locations, although he wouldn't mind bolstering retail partnerships here.
"I don't want to open too many [stores], and I don't want to make mistakes," Schmid said, seated beside the selection of newly introduced timepieces.
He finds it nearly impossible to choose the most innovative one, though.
"It's not like a car, where a stronger engine means it's a better or faster car. It's more complicated than that," he said of the about 70 styles (divided into five families) offered by the brand that range in retail price from just under $20,000 to $500,000.
Complicated indeed. Take the new Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, whose movement is comprised of 624 movement parts — with functions that range from a tourbillon movement with patented stop-seconds mechanism to a calendar with outsize date, day of the week, month and leap year notifications.
Then there is the Lange 31, a $127,200 to $168,300 timepiece with a monthlong power reserve that the company released in 2008 — or even the $95,800 to $117,500 digital Lange Zeitwerk Striking Time that has discs that tell time mechanically. The latter has a power reserve of only 36 hours but the movement is very complicated.

Paul Pogba scored with a late header to finally break Nigeria's stubborn resistance and Joseph Yobo scored an own-goal as France won 2-0 to reach the World Cup quarterfinals on Monday.
Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama had just made a superb save to tip over Karim Benzema's header, but he flapped at the ball from the ensuing corner and Pogba pounced in the 79th minute to nod in his first goal of the tournament.
Yobo turned the ball into his own net in stoppage time under pressure from France substitute Antoine Griezmann.
France started slowly and finished strongly in the second round match.
African champion Nigeria had a goal ruled out for offside in the 19th minute after Emmanuel Emenike poked home Ahmed Musa's cross.

Sexless Beast
P. Diddy, O.J., Lenny Kravitz, Iggy Pop, Ben Affleck, Michael Jackson: You never can be sure what celeb-hunk-or-junk sighting you're in for in South Florida. But if you're a famous single male wintering here, you're almost sure to get laid. Not so for one Sunshine State winter guest, an indisputable specimen of sterling credentials and unquestionable pedigree. A papi chulo who can't get it on because his handlers believe it just might do him in. We're speaking of Funny Cide, the 3-year-old gelding and winner of this year's Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. The thoroughbred, vacationing from New York, is here until about mid-April. After a week and a half kickin' it at Gulfstream Park (901 S. Federal Hwy., Hallandale), the horse moved earlier this week to the Palm Meadows Thoroughbred Training Center in Boynton Beach, where he's hangin' with more than 300 other high-end hoofers. But absolutely no sex. None. Past competitors allowed to mate have seen their performance flag. "They never come back the way they left," says Gulfstream spokesman Joe Tanenbaum. Funny Cide, after all, will have to focus. He's targeted to make a February 7 bid for the $500,000 Donn Handicap in Hallandale and may also run in two other races: the April 2 Gulfstream Park Handicap and the January 3 Hal's Hope Handicap. -- By Victor Cruz
