The history of the American whaling industry from its 17th-century origins in drift and shore whaling off the coast of New England and Cape Cod, through the golden age of deep ocean whaling, and on to its demise in the decades following the American Civil War.
Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World examines the history of the American whaling industry from its 17th-century origins in drift and shore whaling off the coast of New England and Cape Cod, through the golden age of deep ocean whaling, and on to its demise in the decades following the American Civil War. Taking place over three centuries, the film binds the story of American capitalism on the rise with a case study in maritime culture. The fate of the whaleship Essex -- which set sail from Nantucket in the summer of 1819 -- is interwoven with the story of a young Herman Melville, whose own imaginative voyage into the deep would give rise to one of the greatest works of American literature, Moby Dick.
At the dawn of the 17th century, the first pilgrims watched from the Mayflower as throngs of whales breached the waters off Cape Cod. Native Americans would soon pass whaling techniques on to the new American settlers, who would come to dominate the industry for the next two centuries. By the mid-1800s, over two-thirds of the world's 900 whaling ships hailed from American ports, and American whalemen traveled the globe in pursuit of the largest creatures on earth.
For hundreds of years, the whaling industry was intricately bound up with American commerce and culture with the process and products of whaling, including shipbuilding, sailmaking, coopering, backsmithing, rope making, underwriting, and the manufacture of lamp oil, industrial lubricants, candles, corsets, and perfumes. At the industry's peak from the mid-18th to the mid-19th centuries, American whale oil helped light the world, illuminating, powering and lubricating the first phases of the industrial revolution.
As deep-ocean whaling evolved into its "golden age" in the 19th century, whaling came to grip the collective imagination of the American people. Great factory ships sailed on voyages for three to four years at a time. Chasing their prey on 25-foot row boats, six to eight-man crews would attempt to conquer whales weighing up to 80 tons. Once the great mammals were stabbed to death, a laborious process began. The massive bodies were towed back to the mother ship, dismantled and stripped of baleen, blubber, spermaceti oil, and teeth. On board, the blubber was rendered in vast try-pots, whose fires sent acrid plumes of black smoke into the sky, lighting up the sails at night with a lurid glow visible from 30 miles away.
The fascination surrounding whales can be attributed to the extraordinary greed and fury with which men chased whale species to the ends of the earth and to the point of near extinction. With little thought for the consequences, men attacked these colossal mammals for their precious cargo of oil, bone and spermaceti. "The poor whale is doomed to utter extermination," one whaleman wrote in the mid 19th century, "or at least so near to it that too few will remain to tempt the cupidity of man."
Due to the depletion of whale stocks worldwide and with the discovery of petroleum in Pennsylvania in 1859, the American whale fishery all but disappeared in the five decades after the American Civil War, becoming a parable of the ironies and follies of human appetite, ambition and short-sightedness.
Narrated by Willem Dafoe and Directed by Ric Burns (New York: A Documentary Film, The Way West, The Donner Party), Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World explores Americans' near 400-year enthrallment with whales, and resonates profoundly with our hopes, fears, dreams and imaginations.

Application.EnableCancelKey Property (Excel)
Controls how Microsoft Excel handles CTRL+BREAK (or ESC or COMMAND+PERIOD) user interruptions to the running procedure. Read/write XlEnableCancelKey.
XlEnableCancelKey can be one of these XlEnableCancelKey constants.
xlDisabled. Cancel key trapping is completely disabled.
xlErrorHandler. The interrupt is sent to the running procedure as an error, trappable by an error handler set up with an On Error GoTo statement. The trappable error code is 18.
xlInterrupt. The current procedure is interrupted, and the user can debug or end the procedure.
Use this property very carefully. If you use xlDisabled, there's no way to interrupt a runaway loop or other non – self-terminating code. Likewise, if you use xlErrorHandler but your error handler always returns using the Resume statement, there's no way to stop runaway code.
The EnableCancelKey property is always reset to xlInterrupt whenever Microsoft Excel returns to the idle state and there's no code running. To trap or disable cancellation in your procedure, you must explicitly change the EnableCancelKey property every time the procedure is called.
This example shows how you can use the EnableCancelKey property to set up a custom cancellation handler.

Even before left-handed reliever Kevin Siegrist was placed on the disabled list, though after Tyler Lyons' injury, the St. Louis Cardinals were evaluating free agent reliever Pedro Feliciano at their Jupiter, Florida facility. The 37-year-old has now come to terms with the organization on a minor league contract and will report to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, reported Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch on Sunday.
With the New York Mets for almost a decade, Feliciano led the majors in relief appearances from 2008-2010, but later paid the price. Due to rotator cuff surgery on his left, throwing shoulder, the Puerto Rican native did not pitch in the majors from October 2010 until August 2013, two years of which he was being paid by the New York Yankees. After returning to the Mets' organization last season, Feliciano also had a heart issue amid concerns about his velocity.
In addition his own performance at Memphis, Feliciano's chance of returning to the bigs again may depend on fellow left-hander Sam Freeman's results with the Cardinals.
From a roster perspective, the Redbirds have been down one pitcher since Freeman was recalled to St. Louis to replace Siegrist on Saturday, so no other moves to accommodate Feliciano will be required.
Ramsey Succumbs to Shoulder
Injured in a collision with the outfield wall on May 16, Springfield outfield James Ramsey initially remained in that game. However, the 24-year-old has not played since and on Sunday was finally placed on the seven-day disabled list with a sore shoulder.
Leading the Texas League with 11 home runs, Ramsey seemed primed to return to Triple-A Memphis where he finished last season. However, his momentum has obviously been slowed by this setback. In 151 at-bats over 40 games, the left-handed hitter's line is a strong .305/.393/.583.
As of yet, Ramsey has not been replaced on the Double-A Cardinals roster.

In the world of track and field, where margins of victory are often measured in half-steps and fractions of an inch, thoughts come quickly. Runner Josh Spiker, for example, didn't start to think he maybe had a shot to win the 1999 California state title in the 3,200 meters until his foot cast a shadow across the finish line.
Even as he entered the last 10 meters, Spiker had no clue how it would turn out. Things were going according to plan, however. Unlike in his two previous races, where he held leads up until the final lap, Spiker stayed in the middle of the pack, speeding up and slowing down at random, conserving his leg strength and never allowing the other runners to base their rhythm off him. And by the time he approached the home stretch, the strategy devised by his Ventura High School coach Bill Tokar was clearly working: He was ahead of the majority of the field, and the runners in front of him had been goaded into a two-man battle. Normally, this is where the pain would set in: the Jell-O quads; the calves of fire; the sensation, in Spiker's words, "that a bear has jumped on your back." But Spiker felt none of it. Not having overextended himself trying to lead for the first 3,190 meters, he had stored up enough energy for one explosive surge at the end. He started hammering on the outside lane, the two leaders drawing closer.
Hey, he finally thought as he passed them, I might win this thing. Then, .02 seconds later, he did.
Life is slower for Spiker these days, figuratively and literally. At age 26, he is beginning to feel the wear and tear of two decades spent pounding pavement, running through injuries and pushing his body past greater and greater thresholds of pain. He complains of new lingering aches; his joints pop whenever he moves. As a result, he has cut down the mileage on his legs, from over 90 miles per week in college to about 50. And the single-minded focus that consumed him through high school and college — getting faster, better conditioned, breaking personal records, qualifying for state then national then international competitions — has largely left him. His main concern now involves all the stress of professional athletics and none of the glory: operating Inside Track, the local runners' institution he bought in 2007.
It is a quadrennial August, and for the owner of a sporting goods store this is, of course, an exciting month. The Olympics is that brief moment when the world finds itself enthralled by sports it never knew it cared about, elevating swimming and gymnastics to the level of football, basketball and baseball in the national consciousness — for a few weeks, at least — and, possibly, increasing sales of track shoes and unitards across the country. But for Spiker, the Olympics mean more than the potential for better business. It is, for him, a reminder of missed opportunity: In 2004, Spiker qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, but a hernia kept him from racing. He insists he wouldn't have made the team anyway. It is difficult to say whether Spiker is just keenly aware of his own limitations, or if he tells himself this to cope with the disappointment of having his chance to compete on the grandest stage ripped away from him. Either way, he admits that watching the games does not come without a twinge of frustration.
"Emotionally, it's hard for me. I want to be there," Spiker says. "I'm not far enough removed to let go and enjoy it."
If one of the key factors separating world-class athletes from average ones is genetics, then running is coded into Spiker's DNA: His mother used to run marathons — barefoot. But he says he discovered track mostly on his own. He remembers being 6 years old and seeing a group of kids his age jogging through Arroyo Verde Park. "It just seemed simple and fun, to get into a rhythm and run a mile," he says. That group was part of the Ventura Tigres Youth Track Club. He joined and began covering 35 miles per week. In fifth grade, he ran his first major race outside California at the Junior Olympics in Florida. Nerves and humidity combined to make Spiker's first taste of legitimate competition a bitter one. "I fell apart," he says. "I was soaking wet and crying. I almost finished in last place." But, he adds, "the vacation was fun." The next year, in San Jose, he placed third in his heat.
Until eighth grade, Spiker split his time between running and soccer. But with high school looming, participating in two sports became too much strain for him. He had to choose, and it wasn't a hard decision. As a competitor, he appreciated the fact that success or failure lay exclusively on his own shoulders. "I liked how a referee could not influence the competition. You can only rely on yourself to compete," he says. "Once the race starts, it's you versus the world. If you have a bad race, there's only one person to blame." And, he says, the solitary nature of long-distance running fit his personality. "I'm a bit of a loner."
Entering Ventura High School, running became an all-consuming passion. He sacrificed all traces of a social life — hardly ever going out with friends, getting nine hours of sleep every night — gearing everything toward the next race. His level of dedication impressed and initially concerned his coach. "He had trouble distinguishing between training and straining," Tokar says. "If it wasn't hurting, he wasn't training hard enough." After spending much of his first year hurt between meets, Tokar eventually had to tell Spiker to tone down his workouts. "It's not often that I have someone I have to do that with. With Josh, I'd have to say, 'Come on, work less intensely.' In most cases, it's the opposite."
In terms of pure talent, however, Tokar places Spiker "right up there at the top, if not the top" of the runners he has coached in his 22-year career. But it is his desire to win, Tokar says, that truly puts him a step above.
"When it comes to crunch time in a race, having the will to push yourself faster is often the factor that distinguishes an elite athlete from a good athlete. He had the willpower to push himself to the top level," Tokar says.
Spiker's first test of his own willpower came his sophomore year, at the Southern Section Masters Meet in Cerritos, Calif. He had run the 3,200 meters before, but never against the caliber of opponents he faced that day. "I knew I was outclassed," he says, "but when I took the lead, there was something really refreshing and encouraging in that. I felt I was competing against the big boys." Alas, he didn't hold the lead long. With 400 meters to go, the more experienced runners, having conserved their leg strength, sprinted past him. He ended up finishing eighth overall. But that wasn't what mattered. He had shaved 10 seconds off his previous best time. Most importantly, he proved he could hang with another class of runners. "The fact that I went for it, and that I had a strong finish, that was the tipping point."
From there, the accomplishments began to stack up — three All-American honors, the third-fastest mile in America in 2000 and, of course, his victory at the state championships.
Winning state as a junior opened the door to several colleges, and in November of his senior year Spiker signed to the University of Wisconsin. When he arrived in Madison the following fall, Spiker stepped into a situation that, from a running perspective, was worlds apart from what he had known growing up in Ventura. For one, he was mixing with a deeper pool of talent than before, on a team filled with guys who, like him, were the best runners in their respective schools, cities, counties. Also, his coach, Jerry Schumacher, took a less restrictive approach to training than Tokar, allowing his athletes to more or less set their own regimens. And, perhaps most dramatically, Spiker realized that having a life away from the track was not only encouraged by the college environment but demanded. "When you run 90 to 100 miles a week, you have to unwind, or it eats at you," he says.
Despite the changes, Spiker continued to perform well. As a freshman, he traveled to Belgium to represent the United States as a member of the Junior National Cross Country Team, finishing 24th against a field that included the vaunted Kenyans. He finished ninth in the 2001 NCAA Cross Country Championships, third in the 1,500 meters at the 2002 Outdoor Track and Field Championships (which he ran with a stress fracture in his pelvis) and led his relay team to second and third place finishes at the Indoor Track and Field Championships in 2002 and 2003. And in 2004, he ran 3:40 in the 1,500, putting him in position to compete in the Olympic Trials.
In between that qualifying run and the trials, Spiker had an MRI scheduled for a bump in his abdomen that had been steadily growing over the course of the season. He had an idea what it was, and his suspicions proved correct: a hernia.
Spiker faced three scenarios: race in the trials, not qualify and put his health in jeopardy, compromising his ability to help the cross country team, which he felt had a good shot at winning the national title the following year; have surgery and miss the trials; or put off the operation, possibly run the strongest 1,500 meters of his life, and advance to the most celebrated platform of athletic achievement.
Ultimately, he went with the surgery. He rationalized that he just wasn't up to par to make Olympic time, and didn't want to risk his contribution to the cross country team. Not that it was a choice made with ease.
"It was frustrating," he confesses, "knowing that all I had to do was show up."
Today, Spiker doesn't appear haunted by doubt, but being forced to skip the Olympic trials does seem to have had a lingering effect on his running career. He underperformed at the national Cross Country Championships in 2005, and his team took second place. After graduation, Spiker signed an endorsement deal with New Balance and relocated to Colorado. But even as a self-proclaimed loner, Spiker found himself missing the camaraderie of the team training sessions back in Madison. And for the first time since he began running, his motivation started to dwindle.
At a crossroads, in 2006 he decided to return to Ventura and make good on a promise he made before he went to Wisconsin: buying Inside Track, where he worked as a cashier for a few summers as a teenager.
"He said one time, when he was leaving off to college, 'I'll be back. Don't sell the store to anyone else,' " says Gary Tuttle, a former Ventura City Councilman and professional runner, who opened the store in 1977. "I wasn't ready to sell it then anyway. When he was ready to buy, I was ready to sell."
When he officially took over on New Year's Day 2007, Spiker funneled the energy he once devoted to running into the store. Tuttle had kept Inside Track mostly untouched for 30 years; Spiker immediately put in new floors, new fixtures, brought in new clothing. And when the lease came up earlier this year, he moved to a newer, bigger location — 38 W. Main St. — and, with the added floor space, expanded the inventory to cover other endurance sports such as cycling.
Spiker says he likes what he is doing now. Watching him help customers at Inside Track, it's clear he is not lying. But reclaiming his shot at the Olympics remains in his mind. He still competes — he is currently preparing for the Carpinteria Triathlon next month — but he knows getting back to where he was requires a whole other stratum of commitment. Right now, other things take precedence, a fact that was probably unimaginable four years ago. But, he says, he has a good 10 years left to do it. And for someone accustomed to thinking in milliseconds, that is all the time in the world.
"If my life is at a point where I can go for it," he says, "I will."
Visit Josh Spiker at Inside Track (38 W. Main St., Ventura, 643-1104), Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun. noon-5 p.m. For more info, go to www.insidetrackventura.com.

When James Brown died, Augusta lost its Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk. The embassy was closed and the mission to bring music that was dangerous and infectious, soulful and perhaps a little dirty, abandoned. Augusta, if we're being completely honest, was a Soul City in name only. We weren't living up to the hype.
But somewhere between those first big blasts of woodwind and brass and the too-fitting James Brown finalé, Jones found the key to the Ministry and, taking up the Godfather's mantle, announced that Augusta was a Soul City once again.
Playing with a sense of purpose and abandon that seemed impossible to sustain and impossibly pure, she proved, without question, that she drinks from the same spring as the soul and funk legend she clearly admires.
There's a lot of James Brown, sure, but there's also a healthy helping of Aretha and Miavis Staples, of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. Her performances with the Dap-Kings are clearly tributes to soul's pioneers, but the band remains original and innovative enough to avoid becoming a tribute act. It's an incredible feat that requires being both carefully rehearsed and constantly ready to go off the book.
What makes Jones' walking our streets as well as playing our stages so spectacular is that she's not the only artist looking to tap into the heritage, history and musical magic of Augusta. Recently, jazz great Wycliffe Gordon returned to town with his wife, the supremely talented Niki Haris, bringing their own version of the New New to town.
It wasn't that long ago that the world looked to Augusta for two things -- gold and the Godfather. Sadly, the Godfather is gone and his absence is still sharply felt. It always will be. He is irreplaceable, a potent force that can't be duplicated, only appreciated.
But with Sharon Jones and Wycliffe Gordon and Niki Haris in town, carrying on that mission of making Augusta a true Soul City, the legacy he left us can continue to be built on.
And that feels good.

There's a group here in Georgia that has been placing fliers on cars at various events around the state hoping to raise attention to politicians' records. Some of the fliers make good points, though they overlook the damage they've done to their own cause. Others are, well, willfully misleading.
Take, for instance, a flier this group placed on cars last night at an event hosted by Peach Pundit, a Georgia political blog to which I occasionally contribute. They claimed that Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) is "trying to have it both ways" on the Internet sales tax, known in Congress as the "Marketplace Fairness Act."
They accused Price of "sending letters in support of the Internet Tax Mandate to constituents who support it...and letters expressing concern over the Internet Tax Mandate to his constituents that oppose it!"
For the record, I don't know if this particular accusation is true. I don't live in his district and haven't contacted him about the Internet sales tax.
But during a public event earlier this summer Price said he opposed the measure "in its current form," though he said that he could support it if it were part of a comprehensive tax reform proposal that implemented a consumption tax, like the FairTax, which the Georgia Congressman supports.
"I could consider the potential for taxation [on the Internet] if I thought that it was part of an overall, comprehensive tax reform that was neutral from a tax stand point, and that moved us in the direction of a consumption tax," Price told the crowd.
"But right now, in its current form, there's no way I could support it," he added.
In any event, the Internet sales tax, which has passed the Senate, probably won't come to the House floor, according to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), because too many members, though they oppose the proposal in private, are scared to cast a ballot against the Internet sales tax for fear that they will lose influential donors who support the measure.

The Fujifilm FinePix F10 scored decent to high marks on every performance test and can be tweaked to do even better. For example, at 0.7 second, shutter lag was pretty good under contrasty illumination, and at 1.2 seconds, average under more challenging low-contrast lighting, even when using the brilliant green focus-assist lamp. But switching to the optional High Speed Shooting mode set an all-purpose focus distance, and with the autofocus system out of the equation, shutter lag dropped to a speedy 0.1 second.
We were especially impressed with the camera's NP-120 lithium-ion battery, which plugged away for 1,480 shots on a single charge, half of them using the camera's muscular flash unit. The 2-ounce, 1,950mAh battery is disproportionately large for a camera this compact--in fact, it's the highest-capacity lithium-ion battery we've seen so far in a snapshot camera. We subjected it to a heavy dose of zooming and card formatting during its workout, and it managed to keep that 2.5-inch LCD lit up the whole time for framing and picture review.
Wake-up time from a deep slumber was only 2.3 seconds, and we were able to snap off shots every 1.4 seconds thereafter (3 seconds with flash). Continuous shooting produced 40 shots, both at full-resolution (in about 60 seconds) and at 640x480 VGA settings (in about 48 seconds), for a maximum continuous speed of 1.2fps.

Overall, image quality was pretty good, with only a couple of problems. Most shooters should be pleased with the photos the Fujifilm FinePix F10 produces at sizes up to 8x10 and occasionally larger. The SuperCCD sensor delivers relatively sharp photos, with lots of detail in highlight and shadow areas and without the tendency to blow out the lightest areas. Colors were not overly saturated, but the generally good white balance was fairly warm under incandescent lights.
Of course, those higher ISO ratings provide much of this camera's allure. There was very little noise at all at ISO 80, and while noise was noticeable at ISO 800 and ISO 1,600, it was no worse than that produced by most other point-and-shoots at ISO 400. The upper ISO ranges were good enough that we felt comfortable switching off the flash indoors and going for a more natural look.
The downside of the image quality is excessive fringing, predominantly on the sides, as is typical for snapshot cameras. But we also frequently saw it in the middle of the shot, where we didn't expect it, on boundaries between saturated hues.

On top of four wins in four starts, Norris has fashioned a 0.35 ERA. The next-closest ERA belongs to Zach Greinke, who checks in at nearly a run higher (1.33).
Norris will put his status -- not to mention the first four-game winning streak of his career -- to the test Saturday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost to Houston 3-1 Friday but still have baseball's best record overall (30-15) and at home (19-5). Thanks to his May run, his career record has crept above .500 (26-25) -- no small feat, given the Astros' struggles in recent years.
Astros bench coach Joe Pettini, for one, assumed Norris always had this sort of dominance in him.
It's pretty much the same Norris that Pettini saw from the opposing dugout as a St. Louis Cardinals bench coach.
"I see him pitching here the same way he pitched against us the years I was in St. Louis," said Pettini, who watched Norris go 7-2 with a 2.17 ERA and a .213 batting average allowed as St. Louis Cardinals bench coach to Tony La Russa. "A lot of times, the St. Louis guys -- Albert (Pujols) and Matt (Holliday) -- couldn't figure out how he was doing it. But he kept doing it against us.
"He was going after hitters, getting them out. It was simple, but he made it work."
The Astros are 8-1 in the games he starts, and his performance has a lot to do with the staff leading the National League in ERA in May (2.67, 60 earned runs in 202 innings). In his most recent outing this past Tuesday, he shut out the Chicago Cubs for seven innings of an 8-4 victory. The only earned run of the month was a fourth-inning solo homer by Milwaukee's Corey Hart the start before that in an 8-3 Astros victory.
"I feel good," said Norris, who has struck out 58 batters in 57 1/3 innings. "I've been throwing the ball well, kind of staying within the routine. We're all taking it one step at a time, just trying to keep it going."
Astros catcher Jason Castro said Norris has been on the attack more than ever, getting ahead in the count and then finishing off hitters from there. Norris has thrown strikes 65.7 percent of the time (270 for 411) in his past four starts, compared to his 62.0 percent norm entering this season.
"It's a confidence thing," Castro said. "He's really got a feel for what he's trying to do out there. You can tell, no matter what pitch I call and what we go with, he's fully confident in what he's trying to do. That's a huge part of pitching -- to be confident of your stuff. No matter what the count is or what the pitch you're throwing, you can get the guy out on that pitch."
Astros Notes & Quotes
Harrell worked a career-high 7 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits with three walks. He got 16 of his 22 outs on ground balls and escaped two-on, one-out jams three times without allowing a run.
"It's a big win for this team," said Harrell, who lowered his ERA from 4.09 to 3.72. "We battled and we played good. We have a little streak here going. I just kind of followed suit."
"It still doesn't feel very good," Schafer said. "It's still extremely sore. It's feeling a lot better than it did. It's not continuously throbbing, but it's still hard to get my foot in the shoe."

Skip to comments.Carville predicts a punchout (GOP Takes House, Senate. Obama out in 2012)
Posted on 11/01/2010 10:27:09 AM PDT by earlJam
Mr. Carville, the celebrity strategist behind Bill Clintons presidential campaigns, was warning a hurricane would descend on Washington on Nov. 1. The only question: Whether it was a minor or a major one.
In Calgary on Friday, for the Teatro Speakers Series, Mr. Carville was more definitive. It would be disastrous.
It was said of Mike Tyson, he hits you so hard, he changes the way you taste, Mr. Carville says. For Democrats, foods going to taste very different Wednesday morning. .........
Mr. Carville concedes that he is more pessimistic than most Democrats about Tuesdays mid-term Congressional elections.
He thinks the Senate may go Republican, not just the House, since theyve always, historically, flipped together. Oh, and hes not sure Mr. Obama will run in 2012; he doesnt seem to like the job.
I hope Im wrong, he says of his outlook. Yet he doesnt seem especially troubled. After all, he believes, its not his partys fault, but larger forces conspiring against them.
(Excerpt) Read more at fullcomment.nationalpost.com ...
Nice touch with the waste basket.
Like a lot of Democrats, James didn't foresee the absolute "damn the torpedoes" attitude of the Zerobama-Pelosi Axis to implement a far left-wing agenda regardless of the resistance of the electorate.
The thousand year Third Reich didn't work out too well, either.
Expect this to be the meme on Nov 3.
"Mr. Carville says. For Democrats, foods going to taste very different Wednesday morning.
That's right, no more 5 star meals on the taxpayers' dime.
Wonder if the party will change it's name?.
I used to wonder if Obama was deliberately creating chaos and havoc for his party, or if he was really that incompetent. How does a guy go from Messiah to moron in two years?
Ive come think that this is probably all part of a brilliant, albeit Machiavellian political strategy on Obamas part. Obama knew he was going to lose control of the Congress in the mid-terms, anyway. So he went for broke while he had the majority, setting the stage for all kinds of confrontations to come.
Despite having bullet-proof majorities, Obama complained whenever his own party bolted and stalled some piece of legislation that the Republicans were obstructionist and the Party of NO!
Obama is a lousy president, but he is an absolute genius in the application of class warfare. When the GOP sweeps into power, hell have them exactly where he wants them.
They are the ones who will have to make the tough decisions about what social programs to cut.
Two years from now, Obama have most of the country blaming the Republicans for the mess he deliberately caused over the last two years. Newt Gingrich led the GOP to victory in 1994 with his Contract with America that ultimately led to a balanced budget five years later.
But TIME Magazines cover that Christmas featured a picture of Newt Gingrich under the caption, The Grinch That Stole Christmas. In 1994, everybody wrote of Bill Clinton as a one-term president.
The collapse began in the waning hours of the Bush administration, but everything Obama has done since taking office has been aimed at making the situation worse.
That puts the Republicans in the drivers seat at just the right moment for Obamas Fed to pull the hyperinflation trigger so that the blame falls on the GOP, oh, sometime around the beginning of 2012.
No matter what happens tomorrow, I wouldnt count Obama out in 2012 just yet.
He believes it's not his party's fault? Well then, whose fault is it? His party controls 98% of the media. His party knew Obama was illegitimate, ignorant, had zero experience, held decidedly un-American beliefs — yet they chose him as their candidade.
Note to Snakehead: It IS your party's fault!
The going-galt force is a real bitch.
obama isn't poop by himself. He may be a great campaigner, but he's all politics and no policy, and even to be a campaigner he needs to be surrounded by competent political people. Many of them have already left. On Wednesday, many more will be plotting their hasty exit, stage left.
I don't think the dems have to push him out. They are just going to abandon ship.
They are already doing that........
The stink was so bad I must have forgot to let go... :(
LMAO, and I am from DE.
Don't you just love the smell of sulfur and brimstone? Always room for one more. ;-)
sniff sniff - that picture makes me so sentimental....
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
I'm actually looking forward to April 15th so that I can tell Washington how much I still hate them.
I remember Pat Buchanan laughing when he heard the canard that Obama doesn't like being president.
Pat said the limos, Marine One, Airforce One, people catering to you left and right becomes irresistable.
I agree and scoff that Obama doesn't like being king.
Not that they'd (Dole) do anything (McCain) like that!!!
The trash can is at least an improvement...
Carville is a loyal Clintonista. These comments just cement for me the notion that Hillary is planning a coup for 2012.
And hopefully gets spit out much the same way.
I think they've both rubbed off on each other (now that I've typed that came out weirder than intended...but anyway...) in that they're both sorta libertarianish.
Yes. This is the Clinton Crime Syndicate versus Obama's Chicago Mob. HERE COMES HILLARY1
Wasn't Rahm Emanuel a Clintonista? a senior advisor to Bill? Ya think Rahm can help a little?
He didn't "go" anywhere. People who looked at the facts dispassionately knew exactly what he was and what would happen if he were elected and thus it came to pass. It's like the teenage girl or young adult woman who "suddenly" realizes that her family and friends were right and that her boyfriend is a creep.
I suspect it may be the size of his member that outweighs the physical attraction.
Much more plausible when his erstwhile worshippers are back-biting snakeheads.
bingo re the "boyfriend is a creep" comment.
If I had a nickel for every person I tried to warn about this guy going back to Spring of 08...
Obama will not go quietly. Hes too arrogant and believes hes doing a great job. If nothing else, hes the unwanted guest who just hangs around after everyone has left. The Democrats are going to have to push him out-and it wont be easy"
Sure would be nice if Tuesday's results would spill over into the Chicago Mayoral race.
IOW, it's all Bush's fault.
Ofcourse, he than reverts back to his Democrat mindset by saying that the TeaParty will not be able to handle being in power and turn on each other (wixhful thinking on his part)
I believe he is correct about Obama not wanting to run again.

Let me start off by saying that overall, this was a great cruise. We booked this cruise last minute with some friends so were forced into the late dining as the ship was full (8:30). The ship is very pretty. We have done numerous Carnival cruises and RCCL so we were expecting a center atrium -there was none. There is the main location when you enter the ship with a beautiful lit up staircase but it's only a couple of levels. You are welcomed onboard with complimentary champagne and the staff was very pleasant. We immediately tried to get our dinner reservations changed as we had booked a Concierge Class Balcony (which offers PRIORITY DINING< DISEMBARKATION etc). We could not change our dining time. I will say the late seating is not completed until after 10pm if you get coffee and dessert. So keep that in mind.
Room - We were midship Balcony - The room was beautiful and clean. Plenty of space and storage and I liked how the bed was closest to the entrance with sitting area closest to balcony. It felt like there was more room with the set up this way vs. the bed being against the balcony door and seating area where you first come in like on Carnival. Concierge gives you Champagne in your room upon entry. We did not find out until the last night that we could get champagne EVERY day. (Our steward never informed us of that) You also get assorted canapés delivered each day, providing you fill out the form and leave it a noticeable place. I filled it out the first day and left on the desk. Our room steward did not actually take it until our 3rd day. What came were 6 green olives, 20 raisins, 1tbls of hummus and 4 pieces of wispy pastry bread. Not what I would call a canapé tray.
Our room steward was pleasant but not forthcoming with anything. We had to ask for fresh beach towels everyday even though they were left in a heap on the floor each day. Our desk area and table was not cleaned each day nor was our floor vacuumed every day. I hand washed our glasses each day and by the 3rd day was wiping down my own desk and table area. We got fresh bath towels and our bed made every day. That was all. We asked for a bucket of ice each day and would still need to call once we were back in the room to have it. The refrigerators are not working fridges! We were told "they serve as cooler if you wish to put ice inside of them" What? Really? so none of our water was ever cold. They come stocked with beer and assorted cocktails and soda but who wants a warm soda? Especially when you don't even get ice in a bucket. It was somewhat disappointing. Lastly about room - I never use the robes provided but this trip one day waiting on room service I had to reach for one. I had spilled a small amount of coffee as I was moving the tray so I put the robe on the floor with the towels to be laundered. Returning to the room later that evening, the robe was hanging on the hanger and tied neatly as I had originally found it. However, the robe had not been washed-the coffee spots were still very pronounced on the robe. Eww - that makes me wonder.....are they really laundered? If I had not had something on it-I would have just thought it was now clean again after my using it. Freaked me out a little.
Dining Room - It was beautiful! The food was wonderful, and the service was amazing! Our table waiter was Anthony. He was exceptional. Very funny and charming made it a point to learn our names right away and gave us pointers about different things to do. We were so pleased - it was just so difficult to wait til 8:30 for dinner. Then you start eating more than usual because you are snacking at the buffet just to tie you over until dinner. We dined 3 out of 5 nights in the dining room. All 3 nights - the food was incredible - no complaints. The Matre De made his way around to the tables and our friends that were traveling had spoken to him about "flour-less chocolate cake" The next night, the chef had made it for our table only. (only it was not flour-less chocolate cake-it was yellow cake made without flour and had chocolate drizzled on the top. It was beautiful on the plate but we were so disappointed with the taste. was not good at all-but we loved the gesture) Overall very impressed with the dining room food and service
The Buffet - overall good food. Just disappointing that there was not much of a variety. It was the exact same food every day. I get having a pasta, pizza salad station the same each day but there was not much difference with same desserts on the buffet each day, and the same fish prepared the same way and the same vegetables. At least on Carnival and Royal there is degree of variance in how they serve the vegetables and pastas and even chicken.
Pool decks- this is where we get disappointing. I found most of the wait staff in bar areas and on deck to be rude and distant. Numerous employees walking around but never asking if they could help you. I found it annoying that we had to get our own drinks/cocktails but you were still charged 18% gratuity for getting your own flipping drink! One sea day - I had flagged down a gentlemen with a tray in his hand and asked for a drink, he stated "you need to get it yourself, I am not able to" Really? The lounge chairs are maximized by having no space between them. This makes it a little difficult to get on and off them and when you have rude people sitting next to you. If you don't get out on deck early on a day at sea, you are not getting a chair.
Fitness Center - very clean and a great assortment of equipment and free weights. It is up at the front of the ship so when you are doing your workout, you have the huge expanse of ocean in front of you. It was very peaceful.
Guest services staff - at the counter, we were always met with a smile and "hope your are enjoying your cruise" - they were always efficient in addressing my needs.
This was overall a great tour. Lorenzo was our guide - he was very fun and playful. It is was nice being able to see the whole island. You must know this is NOT a pick up at the port! They meet you there but there is brisk walk to get to the location where the jeeps are. probably 1/2 mile. So be prepared to walk. The jeeps are adequate. Our vinyl roof was torn so while we sat in the back seat, our heads were whipped with the torn piece. We held it most of the way. They need to omit the Mayan Replica - it is a joke. You stop along the main road to get out and see a tiny replica of a Mayan temple and learn its history.
We booked a Catamaran/Snorkel Excursion before we left. Fury water sports. These people were incredible. If you book on your own, you will almost $20/person vs. through the cruise line. They were professional, fun, playful and safe. The seas were rough so we had to go to a different location and not the larger reef. It was still great. The water was a little rough so there was not alot of fish but the area was beautiful with tons of fire coral and urchins. Back on the boat, you get beer or wine if you would like. We really enjoyed this and recommend to this everyone.

They work. There are easier cheaper ways to do the same thing.
If you are looking to extend brass life by minimizing sizing you can experiment with your sizer die and chamber. Start short and size down untill your round will just chamber with ever so slight resistance closing your bolt. You are there. No charge. Make sure your bullet is not seated to far out causeing resistance being seated further upon chambering. After you get the sizing part right you can play with OAL to get you bullet just touching the lands if your clip will allow that long a length. Of course these rounds may not chamber in a different firearm, but they will extend brass life in yours and probably be more accurate to boot. :)

Agree with Walk-a-long - no need for it.
Would have to buy one for every caliber...cha ching.
Stoney Point gauges would work as well - very reasonably priced.

Thanks guys! I think I'll save my money for now.

I have one for .30/06, work nice. Nothing wrong with it. Its great for adjusting your sizing die to make sure your not over-working the brass.
December 30, 2006, 09:35 PM
Great tool. I have one for all my rifle cartridges. Makes setting up you sizing dies a snap.
December 31, 2006, 02:04 AM
I have them in .223, .243, .308, .30-06 and 8x57. They are very handy, especially when you have several rifles in the same caliber. Not all rifles have the same headspace. The Precision Mic will allow you to measure the headspace of each rifle and set up a sizing die accordingly.
As an example, I own about a dozen 30-06 rifles. Some, like the M1 Garands, have headspace at the SAAMI maximum, so I set up a sizing die just for those rifles. Others are about midway between SAAMI minimum and maximum, so I set up a separate sizing die for those rifles. I also have several rifles that are at the SAAMI minimum headspace, so I've got a separate die set up for those rifles.
If I shoot the ammunition that's loaded for the short headspaced rifles in any of the Garands, the brass will separate almost every time. Conversely, I can't chamber the ammunition that's loaded for the Garands in the short headspaced rifles, since it's .008" too long for those chambers.
The Precision Mic eliminates a lot of guesswork and solved some problems. I like them.
Hope this helps.

The Obama-Media War
When Obama looks at the media, he doesn't see Walter Cronkite, he sees a bunch of radios, televisions and newspapers; which these days are little more than footnotes for the internet. There is nothing special about that to him or his cronies. Just mediums that distort his message because he doesn't control them. And so Obama chooses to control every medium he uses.
The Obama media war is good clean fun, but it's also a brief skirmish. Neither side can afford to extend the battle for very long. For the media the scandals will vanish as soon as they hear magic words like "Gun Control" or "Illegal Alien Amnesty". And for Obama, the war will end when one side or the other blinks.

Man accused of taking, forging checksMarch 27,2013BENNINGTON A South Street man was arraigned Monday after police said they believed he took checks from his landlady in Dorset and wrote checks for more than $1,200 in November.
Daniel K. Torres, 26, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court Monday to two felony counts of forgery, three misdemeanor counts of possession of stolen property and a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens. Torres was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Trooper Travis Hess, of the Vermont State Police, said he was assigned a case of possible fraud Nov. 26.
Hess said he spoke with a woman who said three of her checks had gone missing. She told him one had been cashed in Bennington for $450 and another for $800 was taken to the bank but the teller wouldnt cash it.
The woman said she learned from the person who had been given the $800 check that it had come from Torres to whom she rented an apartment in Dorset.
Hess said he spoke with the woman who cashed the $450 check. She said she had done it as a favor for Torres and gave him all the money. According to the woman, Torres told her the money was a refund from his security deposit and he said he didnt want to cash it himself because he owed money to the bank.
During the investigation, Hess said he learned Torres was in a drug and alcohol treatment program. On Feb. 27, the citation was given to Torres attorney, David Silver.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

One cool way to add some visual interest to your content here in Captivate is to include animations. Animations could be existing animated files, like Flash files, or animated Gifs, or you can actually create animations out of text here in Captivate. We're going to look at that now using our Volunteer Orientation project. If you've been following along, we're on Slide number 9, which is yet to be named; we'll name it momentarily. If you're getting caught up with us, go to your Chapter3 folder of the Exercise Files, and open up Volunteer Orientation SAMOCA12.
So here with Slide 9, which is where we imported a Photoshop file, we need to give this a name. So let's go to the Name Field over here under Properties, and type in Vision. When you press Enter or Return on your keyboard, it's now named, and we see that over here in the Filmstrip. Next, we want to add an animation, so one option would be to go to the Insert menu, and from the Insert menu, you can go right down to Animation. Notice there is Text Animation below it. But Animation, when you select this, will allow you to go searching for existing Shockwave, or Flash files, if you have them, or animated GIF files.
If you don't have any, just click Cancel. It's a simple matter of selecting it, inserting it, and adjusting its size, and location, and then its timing as well. But we can also do that with text. In fact, we're creating our own animated Gif out of text, right from within Captivate. So let's do that. Here we have our Photoshop file, and if we go down to the bottom, and click Timeline, I want you to see something. Because we brought layers in, each of these looks like a separate object, so you see can the Text, Vision, 3 seconds. Everything is 3 seconds her; all of the different images, dots, background, etcetera.
Meanwhile, the Slide is 5 seconds, so if we were to preview this, we'd see all of this for 3 seconds, and then 2.0 seconds of blank space before moving on to the next slide. So we're going to keep that in mind when we animate the text, which means first getting rid of the existing text. We can't animate something that's already there, which is really just one of the layers of the Photoshop file. So we'll select it, and we'll hit Delete. If you added, for example, caption text, you can't go back and animate it either.
This is another example of our word vision here, where we have to delete it, and insert animated text instead. In this case, we go to our Object toolbar, but not Caption Text; We go all the way down towards the bottom, where we find Insert Text Animation, and when we click there, we get a different type of dialog box. We are going to see Sample Text, and we're also going to see over here on the right-hand side an example of the selected Effect, and that depends on what you used last. If you have better done this before, you're probably seeing an aquarium here, and some fishies kind of floating around your Sample Text.
First thing we need to do is change it from Sample Text to real text, so click and drag over that, and we'll type in all caps, vision. Let's leave it at Arial, but choose a version of Arial, Arial Black, which is a much thicker option. And as you can see, the Size, I used 72 points last time; you might see 20, or something else. Click and drag over the existing number, and type 72, or use your up and down arrows to get to 72. 72 is actually the largest.
Now, we're not going to bold or italicize this, so we don't need those. Let's leave the Delay of 1 second in there, but change the color from black here by clicking the swatch to the lightest color we have, white, in the very bottom right corner. When we click OK, these are the properties of our new animated text, and you'll see, again, another example of what's going to happen with the selected Effect. But before we get there, let's change the name of this from Text_Animation_2, or 1, or whatever number you see, to Vision_Animation, so we know what it is when we look at the Timeline.
You can press Enter or Return on your keyboard; again, you'll see a preview of the Effect, which we're going to browse through right now. Let's go down to the Effect dropdown, and you'll see there's quite a long list. There is Aquarium at the top, and as we scroll down, you'll see the one that's currently selected with the checkmark. So let's try something like Raindrops, for example. We'll see a preview over here. Not too bad; there might be something better. We can scroll through the list, we're going to try Meltaway; interesting, but distracting, and I don't like that looping effect.
So let's scroll down, and try something different. I am looking for some kind of a starburst maybe. There it is, Starburst. Click that; that's a very subtle one. You may not have seen it, but you can reselect it if you want to check it out. I think we'll keep it at that, and we'll preview this in a moment. Right now, let's get our text into position, somewhere right in that area; that looks good there. Again, when we move it, we see a quick preview of what our Starburst is going to look like.
Again, if you need to go back to the Properties, there is a Properties button. These are the Properties we set up initially, so if there is something you don't like about what you selected earlier, go ahead and change it here, but I like what we've got so far, so I am going to click Cancel. Look at the timing here in the Timeline tab. Notice that by default, it's not even 3 seconds, like the rest of the items that appear on this page. So let's go over here to the right-hand side, and increase the timing. In fact, I'd like it to go all the way to the end of the slide.
Now, there's no actual click button, or click box on this particular slide, so it's automatically going to go through the 5 seconds, then move on to the next slide. So we can adjust all of these items if we wanted to, and I think we should. So we'll click the first one, hold down Shift, and click the last one. Everything is selected now, and let's drag it all the way over to 5 seconds, right to the end of the slide, so it matches up. Let's preview that; see what that looks like. Go to our Preview button. We don't need to see the entire project; just everything from this slide on.
So we'll click From this slide. It takes a moment to generate your slides before the preview appears. There's that nice Starburst Effect. Very subtle, but a nice little effect, and then it's on to the next slide. You can press Escape, or click the End button up here to go back to your project. We'll just click in the background to deselect everything, and that's an idea of what you can do with animation, here in Captivate 6.
The course shows how to make a presentation from scratch or with built-in themes, import Photoshop images and PowerPoint slides, and add interest with animation, widgets, and video. It also demonstrates how to prepare for and record a software simulation, synchronize video, add audio, and build quizzes into your project.

Montgomery County has agreed to pay $1.65 million to a Radnor Township contractor who accused District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman of bringing unfounded theft charges against him at the behest of a church that counts prominent county officials among its members.
As part of the agreement, finalized this week, Ferman admitted no improper influence but was required to issue an apology to Walter Logan, whose alleged crimes she once described as "particularly despicable" and "really very low."
Those words, delivered to a TV news crew, came hours after her office had charged Logan in 2009 with bilking hundreds of thousands of dollars from Salem Baptist Church of Jenkintown during a contract dispute.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Deiondra Sanders, oldest daughter to Deion Sanders from a previous marriage, is not taking too kindly to comments Pilar made to the media that she indeed did not know that the divorce was happening. According to Deiondra, Pilar knew the entire time and is now trying to slander her dad's name. So how does she get the word out? Easy, Twitter.
Deiondra started her rant by issuing a warning, "LIES! LIES! ALL PILAR DO IS LIE!! FIRST&FOR MOST I WOULD LIKE 2 APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT IS BOUT TO HAPPEN MY DAD IS GOING 2 BE VERY UPSET AT ME 4 HE ALWAYS TAKES THE HIGHER ROUTE. with that being said SORRY DADDY"
Then it got real as Deiondra spilled the tea:
"NOW my dad HAS BEEN been nothing but GREAT to PILAR. HER, NOR HER MOM HAS WORKED IN OVER 11 YEARS!!"
"NORMALLY I JUST SIT BACK & WATCH ALL HER LIES & MESS BUT ITS TO WHERE SHE'S GETTING PERSONAL. SHE IS TRYING 2 SLANDER MY DADDY NAME. #StopIt"
"all u had to do was be a supportive wife. ONLY THING U EVER CARED ABOUT DOING WITH MY DAD IS REALITY SHOWS, ALL STAR AND SUPPER BOWL...."
And then she questioned Pilar's comments about family being her top priority:
#HowYoTopPriorityBeen yo marriage & yo kids when YOU FLYING IN AND OUT FROM MIAMI, NEW YORK, ATLANTA 2 "HOST" LIKE U A 20YR OLD VIDEO MODEL
#HowYoTopPriorityBeen yo marriage on yo kids when THEY COME HOME FROM PRACTICE AT 9PM DINNER NOT EVEN COOKED CAUSE U BEEN OUT ALL DAY
#HowYoTopPriorityBeen yo marriage and yo kids when YOUR OWN STEP CHILDREN NOT ALLOWED AT WHEN MY DADDY NOT THERE
#HowYoTopPriorityBeen YO MARRIAGE AND YO KIDS when u flying out of town to see other niggas...... Yeah We Know #HowYouDidntKnow but according THE BLOGS this yo SECOND ATTORNEY cause u tryna fight a prenup #GoldDigginH*e
"She just need to stop playing the victim, when she really the problem," says Deiondra, "She stay tryna slander my Daddy's name. The same name that made her famous"
Oh this is getting CRAZY!!!! Deiondra seems like a girl who is really hurt by the divorce, but is even more so protective of her father. She also goes on to accuse Pilar of keeping her away from her step siblings, saying that they would get "whoopings" for communicating with each other. She also says that Pilar was not supportive of her father and only liked the life her father gave her. Guess things weren't all peachy after all?

ummmmm wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
This is foul. Primetime needs to check his daughter...I am a daddy's girl to the end and I wrongly defended my father in his last divorce. It was his faulthe messed up but I was too young and dumb to see at first. while she may be older she is a child and needs to stay out of her fathers business and not air the family dirty laundry. This will have an effect on her younger siblings...a damn shame you would think people could keep it classy for the kids sake.
I was wondering how Pilar didnt know when rumors started 2 months ago. However, I'm going to need Deiondra to repeat the 6th grade and pick up some of those personal pronouns.
This is why I dont f**k with men who have daughters. Those b***hes think they know and run everything.
That's a shame her father has all that money and she still can't form a sentence correctly.
How old is she? I agree she should stay in a childs place. Anyway, if Pilar is a gold digging hoe then someone should tell her that her dad picked her.
Say that ish again STR8HAIRTONTO say it again!
@Tone I don't think anyone is judging her. I know I'm not, cuz in a situation like that there is no telling what I'd say. But I think the consensus is she should have stayed out of her parents business or at the very least kept it off of Twitter.

The Congress of the People are mostly made out of people that used be part of the ANC. They were in the ANC for 14 years but did not find a problem, now all of a sudden when they lost their titles now they give a crap about what goes on.
I guess you can fool people more than once.
