Skip to comments.The Lott Problem & A Solution

The Lott Gaffe
The Solution
Double Standards
The Democrat Party and the Ku Klux Klan
Shut up and let the President handle it.
While you are at it, how about closing down the forum for a week and demand that Rush and Hannity pan nonstop to the Bush press conferences? I think Rush and Hannity generally help conservatism, and this plan is very similar to what they are saying.
What sucks is that none of your articles and comments want to do Lott in because he might have implied segregation was a great idea, but use it as an excuse to get rid of someone you didn't like in the first place.
That's more racist to me than what Lott said, that no one here cares about whether he is a latent racist, only whether he's not aggressively conservative enough.
It's sickening.
In all other respects we probably agree.
Agree that Trent Lott in his Southern hospitality mode of exaggerated praise at a hundred year old birthday party said some thoughtless things falsely implying support for segregation when he probably had national defense in mind.
But as long as we're into bashing people for thoughtless remarks, let's go for some humdingers.
Can anyone remember Jesse Jackson saying "hymietown" or Hillary Clinton saying "Jew b*****d" or Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (D-CA) saying "n****r labor organization?"
And none of them said it at a hundred year old birthday party.
No, the bloody dilemma is that conservatives who don't like Lott for other reasons are giving this story legs by calling for his removal and implying they believe he is racist, while actually simply believing he is not aggressively conservative enough for them.
The media is eating you guys up.
I believe that to be a conservative you have to be in favor of stoning gays and shooting Mexican men and women at the borderThat is a very strange belief. That isn't what conservatism is about, nor is it what this website is about. Thanks, AM
"Yes, when Senator Thurman was a Democrat in 1948, he was, like the Democrat party at that time in our nation's history, a strong segregationist. Senator Thurman came to a point in his life when he began to disagree with his Democrat segregationists beliefs, and that was the period in his life when he became a Republican.
Senator Lott, while understandibly trying to honor Senator Thurman on his 100th birthday, made some unfortunate remarks that rehashed a painful time in our history. Senator Lott has never shown himself to be a racist, and I think that it does the country no good in our journey toward racial harmony for the Democrats, who not only have one Senator who was a high-ranking member of a hateful racist organization and who is now in a powerful leadership position in the Democrat party, but who also have not a few members of their party, including an ex-president, who have made racist comments and have honored racists during their tenure in public service, to try to destroy Senator Lott because of a comment he made that does not come close to what some leaders in the Democrat party have said about various groups of people in this country."
As long as the Republicans sit back and let the historically racist Democrats continue to hammer them on this stupid comment of Lott's, while saying nothing about the Democrat's own documented racism, the Republican party will be unfairly tarred with the racist label and the rats will use this to get illegitimately what they could not win at the ballot box.
Republicans, especially President Bush, must go on the offensive about this and put this issue to bed or they might very well find themselves in the minority again. They must say publically that they accept Senator Lott's apology, and in the interests of harmony, will now be concentrating on the business of the nation.
It's time to be ruthless and it's time to go on offense. The rats will not let go of this until they are illegitimately in the majority again. Is that what we want? Is that what the President wants?
What specific core platform issue is it that a REPUBLICAN, (not a CONSERVATIVE) must believe or they are a Republican in Name Only?????
What is the difference between a Republican and a Conservative? I know they are not the same. I know you are a conservative (or a Democrat mole) and not a Republican because you don't like President Bush. True Republicans like President Bush.
I'm am not a RINO, and you are not a Republican at all.
I am a Republican and a Christian, and that often gives me common cause with conservatives, but I don't pretend to be a purist conservative because they have defined themselves in ways that I cannot.
Can anyone remember Jesse Jackson saying "hymietown" or Hillary Clinton saying "Jew b*****d" or Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (D-CA) saying "n****r labor organization?"
And none of them said it at a hundred year old birthday party.
....or THIS one while we're at it:
Byrd said in part, "I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, `Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white ni**ers. I've seen a lot of white ni**ers in my time. I'm going to use that word."
I spent many years working for national conservative candidates and conservative causes, the latter including a stint helping the Nicaraguan Contras.
I consistently vote GOP, but now consider myself a small "L" libertarian. Why?
As a Deist, I find revealed religions such as Christianity to serve no rational purpose except to dupe the masses in a quest for power. Your precious Bible was created from a collection of fables by the Council of Nicea pursuant to the order of Emperor Constantine. Its sole purpose was to consolidate his power by combining Christian sects with paganism, and making the emperor the representative of the mythical Christ on earth. King James took a page or two from Constantine's playbook, and created his own version for political purposes. The church continued to combine pagan fables as a means to convert natives in the Carribean and Latin America. The result includes Christian beliefs that combine Santeria, Umbanda, and Candomble. Sacrificed any chickens or prayed to an orixa lately with your Christian brothers to the south?
By comparison, Machiavelli was an amateur. The funny thing is that dupes like you continue to believe in the emperor's dream 1700 years after he died. What is not funny is the attempt by Christian leaders to assume power via the GOP using the same stupid collection of fables.
So you don't believe in tax cuts? Or you are angry that you didn't get the whole pie the first time out and are blaming me?
Did you also support his increases in Education spending through the unconstitutional Department of Education? His Education Bill was written by Teddy Kennedy and we all know his conservative credentials.
So you don't believe in forcing liberal teachers to start teaching facts instead of liberalism? You want to just let them continue to control brainwashing our children? We didn't have control of the Senate when compromises were made to get the bill through that begins to challenge liberal control of education.
Did you support his signing of the unconstitutional campaign finance reform bill?
I sent a contribution to the NRA to fight it and the Supreme Court will be hearing the case this next session.
Did you support his federalizing airline workers?
Neither the President nor I supported this idea but our representatives voted for it.
Do you agree with him making a deal not to prosecute the Clintons? He basically let them skate off. I remember he did a snap shot with Hillary while she holds press conferences saying he knew about 9/11.
The President made a deal to not prosecute the Clintons? Funny, I thought Ken Starr was the one who did that.
Why bother mentioning the Farm Bill?
The Farm Bill was the price we paid to gain control of the Senate, so we could get judges confirmed.
Now, let's face it, "Republican", you ain't no Republican. You hate the Republican President who is the most popular President in Republican history. You spent all your firepower on a Republican instead of Democrats. You are a conservative purist, not a Republican. Your hero is probably PJB or some other disloyal Republican.
As surprising as it may be to you, the fairy tale is true.
Lets get off Lotts back for a silly remark in which he never once mentioned racism or segregation. Let the Repub. senators decide by vote if he stays as Majority leader.
I have believed in abolishing the income tax (taxing production) for decades. In fact, the Bush administration has been working on simplifying the tax code as a prelude to a national debate on whether to abolish the income tax altogether and what other system of taxation should be put in its place.
Bushs Education Bill was written by Ted Kennedy for crying out loud
Ted didn't write the parts that mandate testing and accountability with disaggregated reporting of results nor the parts that train teachers in real teaching methods.
Then why didnt the President even fight the democrats on it? Did he lose his veto pen? [federalizing airline inspections]
He did fight it and did speak out against it. But knitting back the nation's wounds from 9/11 took precedent over making you deliriously happy.
Bill OReilly on his radio program uncovered that Bush made a deal with Congressional democrats not to go after Clinton and I think that was a tragedy, but of course you are in the dark on that.
Yep, I'm in the dark on that, even though I watch O'Reilly almost every day.
Robert Ray gave Clinton that slap on the wrist and Bush didnt even remark about it.
Bush's strategy has gained Republicans control of the Senate, whatever you think about his decision on signing CFR and letting the Supremes sort it out or his decision not to stir up the recriminations pot and trade accusations and acrimony with the Dems over Clinton's past sins. Without this strategy, Republicans would not now have control of the Senate, which you are fighting so hard to throw away right now.
Could we pretty please just get the judges through before you demand Lott's head?
The Farm Bill symbolizes three key things: Socialism, Big Government, and wasting tax dollars. The farm bill will cost households at least $1,805 in higher taxes. The farm bill will cost households $2,572 in inflated food prices. The farm bill will provide subsidies to an already steady and thriving industry. The farm bill promotes further consolidation of farms. The farm bill censors information regarding the recipients of subsidies. There are a ton of other problems. You simply excuse this blatant waste of tax dollars by saying it is the reason we took back the Senate?
Yep, it worked.
My hero is Ann Coulter nonetheless.
I adore her.
You are right, Im much more ideologically in agreement with say the Constitution Party.
You're right, I'm Right.
The Republican Party has become too infected by the likes of you,
You don't remember the Republican party of Eisenhower and Rockefeller, do you? You would call Ike a RINO and Rockefeller a liberal infiltrator, when he was probably closer to Teddy Roosevelt than any Republican you know.
prescription drug coverage, rather than opposing that socialist proposal .people like you embrace it. The only difference between you and a democrat is that they want it to be larger.
No, prescription drug coverage is a lousy idea but like the farm bill, it was the price we paid to win Florida in 2000. And yes, the Faustian pact allows us to cut the scale of what the Dems would have passed if Gore had won.
What you are doing is trying to accuse anyone demanding leadership and representation of being a purist and you want to purge the party to a point where itll really be no different than the DNC.
We have leadership. It's not what you want, but then you have admitted you are not a Republican at heart. It's what a majority of Americans want. Government of the people, not of the extremists.
As for the Democrats, they hate me more than you do. I believe in a strong national defense and saying the pledge of allegiance in schools. I am an NRA member and believe the Second Amendment is more important than any other part of the Constitution. I am pro-life. I believe X42 is a sociopath and committed rape and treason and perjury, among other more petty crimes, and would never have taken office in the first place in 1992 if people had not voted for pie in the sky and an chance to check under the hood and see the crazy aunt in the attic. And in 1996, I found out that when Lincoln said "you can fool some of the people all the time" he had no idea how very many people that was.
I close with some words of that RINO who infected the Republican Party, President Ronald Reagan.
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."
Ronald Reagan, from his autobiography, An American Life
Well said.
To not see where Lott has been feckless as Majority Leader is to be blind. He follows in a long line of "play nice with the RATS" leaders like Bob Michel, Howard Baker and Bob Dole, who always volunteered themselves and the party to look for the soap in the shower with the RATS. Take your pick: he's awful even without what he did to the House Managers, or even if he were 100% rock solid otherwise, he's awful for what he did to the House Managers. Either way, he should never lead a Girl Scout troop let alone the Senate Republicans.
Contrast what's going on right now in these parts and elsewhere in the conservative/Republican world with the reaction to the firestorm around Dick Armey saying, "Barney Fag" instead of "Barney Frank" (and on the House floor no less!). Not a peep about Armey stepping down from his post on this side of the aisle. Why? Because he was true to the principles and ideals of what we believe.
Let's face it, Lott didn't hold an early election for Majority Leader because he had a conflict with a hair appointment. He did it to head off any movement to dump him. That's not the action of someone firmly in control of his caucus.
So, much to the chagrin and frustration of his detractors, he engineered the early election and won, setting up the prospect of a hard fought battle to regain control of both houses being negated. Recall that the 1994 Contract with America hit a wall in the Senate when the RINOs and the deficit hawks s**t themselves over tax cuts, spending cuts and dynamic scoring. I'll never forget Domenici doing his best Brutus routine before Teddy and the boys could even find a microphone by saying balancing the budget comes before tax cuts. In other words, tax cuts were DOA in the Senate, a Republican Senate. Lott's re-election to Majority Leader promised more of the same.
Then this debacle comes along, and his position as Majority Leader is vulnerable. It's like having term limits passed nationwide with a retroactive option: you suddenly see a way to get rid of unremovable Congress members like Byrd, Kennedy, Gephardt, and Markey.
Lott did something stupid and now there's an opening that did not exist before to remove him as leader. He can stay in the Senate, and in fact has to because of Mississippi's RAT governor, but he has to go as Majority Leader. That sentiment was around long before last Thursday.

The winter of apocalypse has passed and love is in the air. A woman inexperienced in the ways of romance loses her fiancé and must set out to find another boyfriend. As her biological clock ticks down she hurries to find a tribe of endangered humans and their scarce promise of a suitor. Along the way she discovers at least one other woman has the same agenda. She must camouflage herself to even approach a human male. Hopefully the man of her dreams will not be too… (more)
Interesting and weird.
There's a strange lack of context. Where/when are they? Settling that would make the main point of the story (what are they?) somewhat less bewildering.

Regina Jonas was the first woman rabbi. Ordained by the head of the German Liberal Rabbis' Association in 1935 she continued to meet considerable resistance from many more conservative Jews; nevertheless she continued to work as a rabbi whereever she could find an audience even after being deported to the concentration camp of Theresienstadt; she remained there, giving comfort as she could, until she was murdered at Auschwitz in 1944. Her work was, for many years, forgotten until her papers were discovered in East Germany.

A Home Movie Featuring Adolf Hitler (SLYT)
A family traveled to France and Germany in 1938 and shot this footage which features two appearances by Adolf Hitler. It's creepy seeing this Nazi spectacle shot by an amateur. It's a perspective I don't know if I've ever seen. The video opens in France and the Nazi footage starts around 1:45.
The collector writes: "The Basement Collection presents: An 8mm film bought at an estate sale back in the 90's. This reel is part of a series of a family vacation movies to Europe in 1938. On this reel the family visits France and then Germany. The footage of Hitler is from a celebration in the Berlin Stadium on what I think is a May Day celebration (May 2, 1938) then another celebration at Berlin's Lustgarten. (on May 1st). (I think the reel was edited together out of order)."

Wolves, neo-Nazis and Germanys population crash
Due to population decline, Detroit plans on bulldozing roughly a quarter of the 139-square-mile city into semi-rural farmland. It is a worst case scenario in America, but pales to the problem of Eastern Germany, where demographic collapse in some towns is so severe, urban-wolves and neo-Nazis are the new order of the day.

She did not bear the shame
Freya von Moltke died on New Year's Day at age 98. She and her husband led the Kreisau Circle, an intellectual salon which became an important part of the German resistance in WWII. They planned a coup, one of over forty-two separate plots to kill Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. Freya von Molte was not portrayed in Valkyrie, the 2008 film that depicted the assassination attempt, but she, along with the other members of the resistance (Deutscher Widerstand), "did not bear the shame."
1942 maps of the invasion of the United States
Metafilter's own JF Ptak has an interesting post on the Life magazine issue of March 2nd, 1942, readers of which were confronted by some startling maps detailing possible Axis invasion strategies for North America. There was invasion down the St. Lawrence valley, there was invasion via Trinidad, via Bermuda, full frontal west coast, and down the west coast as well - note the mapping of the large "fifth columns". As Ptak notes, maps such as these with huge arrows pointed menancingly at the American homeland were very much not the norm of the day. [more inside]

World's Longest Invisible Fence
Twenty years ago this month, the nearly 700 mile border between East and West Germany started to disappear. "The fence is long gone, and the no-man's land where it stood now is part of Europe's biggest nature preserve. The once-deadly border area is alive with songbirds nesting in crumbling watchtowers, foxes hiding in weedy fortifications and animals not seen here for years, such as elk and lynx. But one species is boycotting the reunified animal kingdom: red deer."

Early Animated Films, Lost and Found
While some might believe that Walt Disney had the first feature-length animated film with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in 1937, the Disney film is the fourth animated feature-length film, and was two decades late for first place. The first two animated feature-length films were directed by an Italian in Argentia in 1917 and 1918, though all prints of those films are presumed lost or destroyed. The third animated full-length feature, Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed (The Adventures of Prince Achmed), came out the same year that the first two were lost to fire. This third animated film was a silhouette animation made by a German artist named Lotte Reiniger. The original negatives are considered lost, but a supposedly first-generation positive (from the camera negative) remains and the film has been restored from this stock (full film with limited subtitles, 5 minute preview with English subtitles and the full film viewable with Veoh plug-in).

Ce soir sera une bonne soirée!
On September 10th, to celebrate their initiation week, 172 communications students at the University of Quebec at Montreal decided to put on a show. After weeks of preparation, the costumed and prop-wielding crowd enacted an exuberant, complex, and flawlessly-choreographed performance of the Black Eyed Peas song "I Gotta Feeling" that sprawled through the campus's multi-story Judith Jasmin Pavilion... and they did it all in one continuous take (on their second try). The feat is just the most recent example of "lipdubbing" -- a video phenomenon where a single camera moves through a crowd of highly coordinated lip-syncers in a single seamless take, with the original recording dubbed over the finished product.

A parade in Brest, 1939.
September 22, 1939: In the Polish city of Brest-Litovsk (now Brest, in Belarus), "a monumental military parade took place.... What is unusual is that the parade was held not by the Polish army, but by the soviet Red Army and the Nazi German Wehrmacht – together." The excellent blog Poemas del río Wang (which usually features gorgeous illustrations from books) provides historical context, many photos, posters, and cartoons, even a five-minute official German newsreel (the parade takes up the first half). The event itself is a historical footnote, but in Russia, with the "cult of the victory of Soviet people and of the Soviet state in WWII," the very idea of it was anathema and it was denied until last year.

One of 93-year-old Jimmie Ree Wardlaw's fondest memories as a child is that of riding to school on the handlebars of her older brother's bicycle.
''We didn't have paved roads back then, so it could be a pretty bumpy ride on those handlebars,'' Wardlaw said.
Wardlaw has dozens of other school-time memories that are just as close to her heart -- most of which revolve around her days as a student at Madison County's old Sawdust School.
Built in the late 1800s, the two-room Sawdust School, located on Sawdust Road just outside of the town of Ila and 12 miles from Athens, was one of 50 one- and two-room schools in Madison County in the early 1900s.
While most of those buildings are long gone, the old Sawdust School building remains standing -- but barely. That's why members of Gordon Chapel Church's Over 50 Club are making sure the school will be remembered.
Wardlaw and other former Sawdust School students joined Gordon Chapel's Over 50 Club Wednesday to dedicate a granite memorial marker on the site of the old school.
Over 50 Club member Alice Huff said the marker will remind the community of ''how hard people had to work to get an education back then.''
''The old Sawdust School building is about to fall down -- we're afraid it will be forgotten about and that younger people moving in won't even know it ever existed,'' Huff said. ''It means a lot to the old timers in the area to mark where the school stands. ... It was once a major part of this community.''
While the seven-grade-level school was believed to be built in the late 1800s, the first written records from the school date back to 1896. In a day when student-teacher ratios averaging 40-1 and teacher pay averaged $1 a day, Sawdust School, like other schools during the early 1900s, operated only six months a year with summer session and a winter session -- a schedule which allowed the students to work in the fields during the busiest harvest times.
After serving students for over 30 years, the Sawdust School was replaced with a larger, four-room structure and auditorium in 1929 -- both of which were erected on four acres on Nowhere Road. At that time, Madison County school officials held a contest carrying a $50 prize allowing community members to rename the school.
The winner of that contest changed the name of the school to Sanford School and the community surrounding it to Sanford Community -- both in honor of John F. Sanford, then-chancellor of the University of Georgia.
However, Sanford School graduated only three classes of students, from 1934 to 1936. After 1936, Madison County schools consolidated, so Sanford high school students were sent to Ila or Danielsville high schools and the grammar school students were sent to Neese Grammar School.
Shortly after that time, Sanford School and auditorium were deeded to Gordon Chapel Church which turned the facilities into what is now Sanford Community Center.
Wardlaw began school at Sawdust in 1914.
''We had a big fireplace and that was all the heat we had -- and our parents had to send the wood in for us to burn,'' said Wardlaw, who now lives in Nicholson. ''We didn't have bathrooms. We had an outdoor privy, a two-holer we called it, made out of pine slabs, but that was only for the girls. ... The boys had to go into the woods.''
One of those ''boys'' was Wardlaw's younger brother, A.L. Stone. Stone and his wife, Mary, now live next door to Wardlaw.
''I remember one day I wouldn't go into class because I wanted to stay out at recess and play,'' Stone said. ''We lived so close by that my teacher could go up to the edge of the road and yell for my mother and on that day she did. It didn't take long for my mother to come riding up in our wagon. She got off that wagon and switched my legs so bad that I never missed another class again.''
Huff has several connections to the school. Her husband's brother, Lawrence Huff, attended the school. In addition, Huff's mother, Allene Thurmond Barton, and all of Huff's maternal aunts and uncles were Sawdust students.
''I was 6 years old when I went to Sawdust School ... I'll be 92 in June,'' said Barton, who attended Sawdust for one year. ''I remember going to school there. It was so cold and we had to walk probably two miles to school. I do remember ... the big kids and the little ones were all together.''
Barton, Stone and Wardlaw all profess that if the Sawdust School building does fall down, the granite marker will not be the only dedication to its existence. Their lives will be, too.
''I still remember it well,'' Wardlaw said as she reminisced on the Sawdust School days. ''It was a rough time sometimes, and boy, was it cold weather. We'd wear those old black bloomers and stockings up to our knees. ... But they were good times. They were really good times.''

Free account option. Intuitive interface. Attractive design themes. Full commerce options. Statistics included. Creates custom mobile sites. Auto-saves site edits. Lets you download your site code as standard HTML/CSS. iPad site-editing app.
No undo. Less photo editing capability than competitors. No newsletter feature.
Bottom Line
With an excellent interface, free accounts, site stats, and downloadable source code, Weebly is definitely worth a look for any would-be website builder.
An app store of third-party goodies you can add to your DIY website tops the list of what's new in Weebly (starting at $8 per month), which has undergone a major update dubbed Carbon since our last look at this website builder. The update also adds good-looking redesigned responsive themes, some new site elements, a more powerful traffic dashboard, and new mobile site-building apps. Its ease of use, free site option, included Web hosting, and site portability make Weebly a good choice for your self-built home on the Web.

Getting Started With Weebly
All you need to start building your Weebly site is a name, an email address, and a password. There are four account and pricing levels: Free, Starter ($8 per month), Pro ($12 per month), and Business ($25 per month). The free account lets you create unlimited pages, but includes Weebly branding and promotions. The Starter plan removes the branding, lets you use your own URL and custom favicon, adds extra site stats, and includes premium support. The Pro account tacks on multimedia features (HD players), site search, and password protection for pages. Business accounts get SSL support and a Web store with unlimited products (including digital downloads) and a custom shopping cart.
After you choose a plan, Weebly asks you what the focus of your website will be—standard site, blog, or store. Next it's time to choose a design theme, which you can change at any point. There are 24 to start with, pared down from over a hundred in the old version before Carbon. The new themes all use responsive design, but you can still access the older nonresponsive themes if you prefer. Squarespace offers a few more themes to start with, and Wix offers hundreds. Weebly's themes are attractive, customizable, and offer a choice of color sets. Some of them feature the appealing scrolling design that leaves your header bar showing while the rest of the page scrolls down.
The next step in getting started is to choose your Web address. Free accounts get a yoursite.weebly.com name. A one-year custom domain registration is included with the Starter and higher account levels, after which it costs $19.95 per year. For comparison, Squarespace includes domain registration with its base $8-per-month account, and Wix sells domains for $14.95 a year. As mentioned, if you already have a domain registered, you need to upgrade to a paid level of Weebly (any level) to attach your Weebly-built site to it.
Building and Customizing the Site
Once you've chosen your theme and decided on a Web address, you're in Weebly's intuitive site-building interface. Clear drag-and-drop page-element buttons populate a sidebar, and along the top is a fixed menu row of site- and service-wide options. You can choose page layouts for home, about, contact, services, menu, and other standard types of site page. Elements are arranged in groups like basic, commerce, and media, for easy access.
Elements include all the usual suspects—text boxes, images, maps, spacers, and media. The latter consists of video, audio, and document files. There are polls, RSVP forms, forums, and surveys. If what you're looking for isn't available, you may find it in the Apps section (see below).
You can no longer just drag an element anywhere, as that might mess up responsive design. In this sense, Weebly has gotten somewhat less intuitive; sometimes I'll be trying to drag an element onto a page, but can't place it where I want to, and there's no indication of where acceptable places to drop are. This and other changes in the Weebly Carbon update have drawn the ire of a lot of its users, as evidenced by comments on its blog. Dragging an element onto the same row as an existing one adds a new column half the width, then a third, and so on, but thankfully you can resize the widths to taste.
Adding site pages is now handled by a sidebar that presents itself when you choose Pages from the top menu bar. I like this because it doesn't take you off your site preview page the way the previous version did. You get a choice of standard page, blog page, store page, and external page. I also like how clicking on navigation elements in the Weebly builder takes you to the target destination; Wix makes you navigate via the sidebar. But Wix let me do some cool things that aren't built into Weebly, such as having title text animate in and using video or carousel gallery backgrounds.
Missing, too, is an Undo feature for site changes like adding elements or changing the theme, let alone a full history feature like Wix's, which lets you roll back your site to a previous state. There are Undo and Redo buttons for simple text entry, however. With Wix, you can hit Ctrl-Z to undo a box resizing, for example, and both it and DudaOne have permanent undo/redo buttons for everything you do in the builder. I do like how Weebly (like Wix) lets you enter text directly on the page rather than in a sidebar, as Squarespace and some others do. But Wix also goes both of them one better by offering right-click context menu options for things like replacing images and editing text. It even offers animation of your site objects!
From the toolbar's Apps button, you can head to the App Center, where you'll find an array of widgets to add to your site, some free, some with fees. I tried the app feature by adding MapJam, a pretty cool mapping widget. I simply had to allow it access to my Weebly account, which was sort of like authorizing a Web app with Facebook, and then its button would be in my toolbar. Other app options include SimpleChat, Shippo (for shipping), tabs, counters, and dozens more. In terms of sheer numbers, Weebly already has as many app widgets as Wix. Both offer plenty of traffic-boosting apps, but a few searches for things like mail, shipping, and maps showed Weebly already having an advantage in the number of options.
Working with Images
Perhaps one of Weebly's biggest drawbacks is that it doesn't provide online storage for your site images so that you could reuse them. Instead, you have to store the images locally and re-upload them every time you want to use them. You don't have to do this for images that appear on multiple pages such as backgrounds, though. Wix and Duda offer an online repository for your images, but Squarespace, like Weebly, doesn't.
Actual image editing is limited, too: You can only zoom, darken, apply blur, and apply four filters if you click on the Edit Image button; a second set of (also limited) image editing tools appears when you click on the photo itself. There you can crop, rotate, and apply a few color and edge effects. By contrast Squarespace and Wix offer the full set of integrated Aviary online image editing tools. You can, however upload multiple images at a time with Weebly's attractive gallery widget. Wix lets you access your photo from other online sources such as Flickr and Facebook, as well as offering stock photography as Squarespace does.
Weebly's blogging interface is as straightforward as the rest of the site builder, letting you drag any page element onto a blog post, and you can control social sharing and commenting, too. Comments are threaded and can be easily deleted.
Weebly lets you add tags to your posts, and you can save them as drafts before publishing. You can set them to be announced on your Facebook and Twitter feeds automatically, too. Wix offers a few more blog-related widgets like tag clouds and feature posts, but Weebly does a good job of presenting the archive and tag list, as well as offering Flickr and LinkedIn badges. Both services automatically produce RSS feeds for your blogs.
Publishing Your Site
An explicit orange Publish button takes your site live. There's no need for a Save button, since edits are saved automatically. This contrasts with Wix, which requires you to explicitly hit save any time you want site edits to stick. You can have multiple editors working on a Weebly site; just send an email and specify whether your co-editor should have full Admin, Author, or Dashboard-only rights.
Making Money With Your Site
Weebly lets you add Store and Product page types with a very rich set of commerce tools. You can even import products from Etsy, Shopify, or a CSV file. You can accept payments using PayPal, Square, Stripe (the only option for Squarespace users), and Authorize.net.
The Store builder has all the elements you'd expect: a cart, sale prices, invoices, coupons, sizes and colors. In fact, there's a whole Store mode accessible from the site builder's top navigation bar. Like Squarespace, Weebly lets you sell digital downloads, but this requires a $25-a-month Business account. Wix can only sell digital goods via third-party apps. Even free Weebly account users can sell up to five (non-digital) products per site.
You can paste AdSense ads on your site pages, for an additional stream of revenue. An easy-to-use integrated setup feature lets you authorize Weebly for your AdSense account (or even create a new one).
One missing commerce feature is a built-in way to create and blast-send newsletters, which Squarespace and Wix both offer. But you can head to the App Center and use AWeber for this, though you'll have to pay extra after its 30-day free trial.
Mobile Site Design
Weebly now uses a similar strategy to Squarespace's by automatically generating a good-looking responsive mobile site based on your site template. Like Duda and Wix, Weebly still offers a button that takes you to mobile site editing, but with Weebly that view only works if you're using an old template. With old templates, you can even choose a mobile theme that differs from the main site, and turn off header images, the search box, and social icons. The new Weebly responsive designs do look great on mobile phones, though, and, unlike last time I reviewed it, they can now fill the whole background with an image.
The Weebly iPad App
Weebly is ahead of most of the pack in delivering a touch-friendly, drag-and-drop supporting iPad app for site building. Jimdo has an app, too, but it's limited in the number of page elements it can add. The Weebly app has been updated to let you edit ecommerce features and blog with it. Theres even an associated Apple Watch app that alerts you about site traffic or commerce transations.
Site Statistics
Even free users get access to some site-activity stats for their Weebly sites—not the case with Wix. Free users can see page views and unique visitors for each day of the month, but upgraded accounts can see search terms used to get to the site, referring sites, and top-visited pages. You can use the deeper analysis provided by Google Analytics, but you'll have to manually add its code to your pages—there's no integrated setup.
Picking Up Your Site and Moving
From the editor's Settings/General page, Weebly lets you download your site as a ZIP archive file with all of your HTML and send it via email, which is more than a lot of site-builders offer. It means you can move the site to a standard Web hosting service. This doesn't include some of the interactive features like your storefront and comments, but it's not possible with Squarespace or Wix. This capability is a serious differentiator and something that should be considered by anyone who's building a website and doesn't want to be locked into one service.
Weebly Isn't Wobbly, But Is It Best for You?
Weebly remains one of the easiest site builders to use. It offers generous free options, and is the only one I've reviewed that lets you export standard site code. The new responsive designs are great looking, but a lot of the service's users are unhappy about changes to the feature set. Editors' Choice website builder Wix is both the most intuitive and fullest-featured of the services I've reviewed.

In reality, it has just been a bit over a week since the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team was in action, but it seems like an eternity. Rest assured, the break is almost over as Kentucky starts conference play on Wednesday night versus the Mississippi State Bulldogs (10-3). The WIldcats left the court on a high point after beating Louisville 73-66 and comments from people like Jay Bilas and even Coach Cal would seem to indicate that the Cats are still trending upwards...

Historical Traveler Reviews Thistle Trafalgar Square, The Royal Trafalgar London
Great location
great location, right in the middle of all the action. The price to be paid is the noise. 2 tube stations nearby (Leicester Sq. & charring cross). Room was what we had expected for a london hotel (smallish but adquate). Great breakfast buffet. Staff is extremely friendly and accomodating. We arrived 3 hours before check in and were provided a room on the spot.
Unbeatable location
This hotel is clean and the room comfortable.We thought the location was terrific because everything was a short stroll away . The tube was right there too. It was easy to get to from Heathrow by Heathrow Express (15 mins) to Paddington then direct by tube( 10 mins) . National Gallery is next door, London eye a 10 minute walk and Buckingham Palace 10 minutes walk also. From the hotel door, if you walk left, Trafalgar Square is right around the corner and if you go right at hotel door you are on Leicester Square which we found had a good selection of restaurants. Theatres and TKTS ticket booth very closeby. Covent Grden 6 min walk. Hotel staff were Pleasant . Would stay there again.
Wonderful Experience!
My wife and I are from California, USA. We stayed at the London Thistle Trafalgar Square Hotel April 30 through May 7, 2004. We give this hotel high marks. First, our daily rate was less than quoted: quote �99, checkout �96. Without asking, we were upgraded to a recently-redecorated, larger room. The personnel at the front desk, restaurant, and bar were absolutely delightful and helpful at all times. Our room included breakfast in the hotel restaurant; the food was fresh, satisfying, plentiful, and varied in selection. This hotel is located dead center of just about everything. The National Gallery, the Portrait Gallery, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields are right next door! We could walk to many of London's/Westminster's other famous attractions. At dusk, we would step out the front door and sit in Trafalgar Sq. and watch all the activity. Don't miss the wonderful sandwich shops across the street from the hotel! They make fresh sandwiches while you wait for about half the price of many of the hundreds of restaurants in the surrounding areas.
Excellent Location
My sister and myself stayed at the Thistle Hotel in Trafalgar Square for 5 nights, the room that we had on the first night was very small even though it was the twin deluxe, the following morning I asked to be moved to a larger room, this was done straight away, the room was much better. Apart from one person all the staff were very helpful and polite. The location of the hotel was excellent, and we will definitely be staying there again in October. Looking forward to it.
I must have stayed at another hotel!!!!!
After reading the reviews posted here I was apprehensive about staying at this hotel. I didn't need to be. The staff were some of the most helpful and polite I've encountered at a hotel and the service was excellent. I've stayed at quite a few London hotel's and this was one of the best experiences. The food was good and the breakfast excellent. The room was spotless and in excellent condition. Why the other people have complained I don't know. Perhaps they are used to staying at the Ritz or the Savoy?! Above all it was the staff's attitude which made it a joy to stay there. With it's location so central to attractions etc. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Good Centrally Located 4* Hotel
Stayed at the Trafalgar Thistle for two nights. Was a bit dubious when I arrived as there was a guest complaining about the standard and wanted to leave. Room was an executive room which was nice and clean. The room furnishings were basic but you had everything you required. The hotel is ideally located and you can walk near enough to all the major attractions. Breakfast was better than most hotels I had been to prior. No problems with cleanliness of tables and staff were attentive. I think the hotel was good but could perhaps do with an upgrade with the furnishings and decor but was pleasant enough. Found no problems really, when we were checking out yet another guest was complaining - I must have got lucky the day we arrived with the room I was given! I would recommend it to others looking for a centrally located hotel - certainly their website is the best way of booking, we paid only £95 per room B&B per night - a bargain for a 4* central London hotel!
Great Location
I stayed here for 6 nights in March. I had an executive double room which included a king size bed, air conditioning, and a nice view over to St.Martin's Church and the London Eye.
The room was large by UK standards, and everything worked. The hotel staff was professional, and room service was quick.
The location cannot be beat for the basic tourist activities in London.
You can walk to Leicester Sq, Trafalgar Sq., Big Ben, The London Eye, Piccadilly, Buckingham Palace, and much more.
The furnishings are basic, and the room is not luxurious by modern standards, but for a few days in town it's fine. The bed was very firm, which was ok for me, but could be a problem for others.
I would stay there again. Be sure to check for internet specials on their website. I paid 99Pounds per night.
Rethink your options!
RETHINK YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE BOOKING AT THIS HOTEL. This hotel is in no way a 4-star hotel. From the minute you enter the scratched glass door,onto the faded and dirty carpet of the reception area, you think "roach motel". We wanted to see the room before we checked in and were told "we'll give you our best room"...what a joke!! The shower/bath was dirty, with rusted fixtures, the room was small, and the breakfast was warmed-over (several times) and stale. If you don't care about where you stay and want a "deal" then stay here, otherwise, good luck and bon apetit! Make sure you pack the alka seltzer, you'll need it.
Ok hotel
stayed here last easter was dissapointed as i phoned beforehand and told them it was our silver wedding anniversary and i paid an extra ?20 on top of ?116 per night for a superior room. the room was nice but no way was worth the ?116 let alone the ?20 extra! staff were pleasant enough but there was no nice feeling to the hotel. i think it was pricy because of the location. breakfast was nice with plenty of variety and not too crowded. spotlessly clean as are all the thistles.i stayed at the thistle bloomsbury the year befre and found that to be a much superior hotel and it had a nice feeling to it.
Good Choice at a Discounted Rate
I just spent two nights in a single at the Thistle and must say that, from what I saw, there is no way this is a four star hotel. Having said that, given the value (I paid 40 GBP a night) and the location, I?d definitely recommend the hotel if you can secure a good rate. The hotel is located directly behind the National Gallery which puts you within steps of both Trafalgar and Leicester Squares and in the heart of all of the action. As it is on a side street, it is surprisingly quiet given all the commotion of the area. Transit links are excellent and there are a number of pubs, restaurants, theaters and a new grocery store all within two blocks. The service was very good and the lobby has been remodeled. My single room had a double bed (nice surprise) and, while small by US standards, was decent sized as far as single rooms in London are concerned. The one drawback was that the room had not been remodeled in at least 20 years and was quite drab. The lighting was poor and the TV remote did not work. Still, at the rate I paid, it was an excellent deal. If I had paid the rack rate, I would have been extremely disappointed.

Bill Gates calls for a digital revolution to help famine
- From: AFP
- February 24, 2012
- "If you care about the poorest, you care about agriculture"
- Criticised UN food agencies as "outdated" and "inefficient"
- Brain food: It's all downhill from 45
MICROSOFT founder Bill Gates has called for a "digital revolution" to alleviate world hunger by increasing agricultural productivity through satellites and genetically-engineered seed varieties.
"We have to think hard about how to start taking advantage of the digital revolution that is driving innovation including in farming," the US billionaire philanthropist said in a speech at the UN rural poverty agency.
"If you care about the poorest, you care about agriculture. We believe that it's possible for small farmers to double and in some cases even triple their yields in the next 20 years while preserving the land," Mr Gates said.
He gave as one example of innovation the genetic sequencing that allows cassava farmers in Africa to predict how individual seedlings will perform, shortening the time it takes to develop a new variety from 10 years to two.
Another key development is the use of satellite technology developed by defence departments to document data about individual fields, as well as information videos of farmers discussing best practices to help others.
"If we don't do this, we'll have a digital divide in agriculture," he said.
Mr Gates also defended the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the developing world and large-scale farm land investments by foreign states in the developing world - both highly controversial issues in the aid community.
"You should go out and talk to people growing rice and say do they mind that it was created in a laboratory when their child has enough to eat?" he told reporters after his speech.
"The change in the way mankind lives over the last several hundred years is based on adoption of innovative practices and we simply haven't done enough for those in the greatest need to bring these things," he said.
Mr Gates also unveiled $US200 million ($A188 million) in new grants from his foundation to finance research on a new type of drought-resistant maize, a vaccine to help livestock and a project for training farmers.
"Investments in agriculture are the best weapons against hunger and poverty," he said, adding that his charitable foundation had committed $2.0 billion for farmers and was working on seven crops and one livestock vaccine.
The technology pioneer also criticised the work of the UN food agencies in Rome: the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the World Food Program (WFP) and the International Fund for Agriculture and Development (IFAD).
He said the current food and farming aid system was "outdated and somewhat inefficient" with a lot of "duplication".
For these organisations to go digital will take "a lot of time", he said.

OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 BOS 2003-118
June 9, 2003
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
Lumber Mill Leads to $49,000 OSHA Fine
CONCORD, N.H. -- The amputation of a worker's arm at a Milan, N.H. lumber mill could have been prevented if the material handling conveyor he was operating had been properly guarded, reports the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Paul Vallee Lumber Co., Inc., located at 358 Milan Rd., faces a $49,000 fine for an alleged willful violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act following an OSHA inspection prompted by the April 7 accident. The inspection found that the employee's arm was severed when his shirt became caught between the unguarded drive chain and sprocket wheels of the operating conveyor and he was pulled into the machinery.
"The purpose of machine guarding is to prevent any part of an employee's body from coming in contact with moving machinery," said David May, OSHA's New Hampshire area director. "This case is a stark example of what can happen when this basic safeguard is ignored."
May explained that the amount of the fine reflects the citation's classification as willful, the most severe category of OSHA citation. OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations
"Management knew of the hazard posed by this unguarded machinery, yet did nothing to correct it until after the accident," said May, who noted that OSHA had cited the company in June and October of last year for unguarded chains and sprockets on other machinery.
The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to either elect to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses, and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
The inspection was conducted by the OSHA area office in Concord, N.H. The telephone number is (603) 225-1629.
The information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: (617) 565-2072. TDD (Telecommunications Device dor the Deaf) Message Referral Phone: 800-347-8029.

One day they work the next day they get slowed.
is it because I only spend 0.05 cents a click?
if I am only getting $3 a lead and the conversionrate is 16% I do not think I should spend more than that.
It seems I am fighting with the google computer all day.
I am frustrated.
Say you earn $3.00 per lead, how much are you willing to pay to get that lead said and done?
If your getting $3.00/lead then upping your prices to cost 50% of your lead but getting a x amount more leads may be better than penny pinching and hoping someone isn't outbidding your leads.

I have great admiration for folks operating on 90% gross margins using PPC sponsorship, but generally and in reality I don't think it is going to bring you much Gross Profit.
I would ease off a tad on the margin for sponsored Ads and find a nice balance where you maximize the gross profit $$$$.

Neighbourhood Effects, Housing Tenure, And Individual Employment Outcomes
This paper investigates whether individuals living in neighborhoods with high concentrations of unemployment are less likely to enter work if they are unemployed and more likely to lose their job if they are employed. The main challenge in the neighborhood effects literature is the identification of causal neighborhood effects. A particular problem is that individuals do not randomly select neighborhoods to live in: the selection process is often linked to the labor market situation and potential of individuals. To get more insight in neighborhood effects the authors run separate models for social renters and owner occupiers.

French actor Romain Duris, who bears more than a passing resemblance to Mick Jagger, can't get no satisfaction much of the time in the psychological thriller, "The Big Picture."
As French attorney Paul Exben, he seems at first glance to have it all with a beautiful wife, two young children and a lucrative job. But as we soon learn, Paul's still haunted over not following his photography muse in exchange for a comfortable but unfulfilling suburban lifestyle. His wife, Sarah (Marina Fois), resents him for selling out, as well as for inattentiveness and her writer's block.
Making matters unbearable, she asks Paul for a divorce just as he discovers she's having an affair with a contemptuous, struggling photographer who, unlike himself, followed his art.
After an unintended accident, Paul chooses to cover his tracks, flee and reinvent himself as the photographer he hoped to be under a different identity. At the same time, gripped by the pain of leaving his children behind, the stress and strain of concealing secrets goes into overdrive after the sudden photographic success he could once only have dreamed about risks blowing his cover.
The film, based on a book by Douglas Kennedy and directed by Eric Lartigau, follows Paul through the streets of Paris, beaches in the Balkans and a life-and-death struggle on the stormy Adriatic Sea. Duris, who was riveting several years ago in "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," casts a striking presence as the epitome of hip, upper-class success who chooses a spartan existence in the shadows.
The moments that hit Paul hardest � saying goodbye to his son and daughter, the stray conversation that lays bare his wife's infidelity � are as emotionally laden as the black-and-white photograph he carries around as the lone reminder of his kids.
The film isn't without its problems � it's necessary to suspend credulity over Paul's crackerjack skill set as a criminal, and the ending feels tacked on and a bit of a cop-out. But "The Big Picture" packs enough suspense and existential angst to grab and hold the viewer's attention, while exploring the perennial question of how much one should risk to recapture what was lost.
"You're free as the wind," Paul says to a client early in the film. How simple, he must have thought, that advice had sounded.
