It's a UPS thing.......
While I was on the phone, I caught a ESPN promo piece today that showed Kasey riding on the Bud wagons, pulled by the Clydesdales, of course. Looks like Budweiser is going after the beer drinking ladies dollars.
Has there been any sort of official announcement about Kane driving the #8 car yet?
KK will stay where he is. Bud is moving on to join him as his sponsor. We may see Coors' light on the 8 car,
I had the volume at a reduced level, consequently I missed hearing most of the interview but that wasn't the impression I got. Thanks for the correction.
Are your ears painted on?
Number 88?
Is he going to have "Mountain Dew on the car, not in the car"?
Mountain Dew Car is GREEN hood and roof with white from the numbers back. National Guard car is BLUE Hood and Roof with white from the numbers back.
88 numbers will be RED on both cars and will be the same style as the 88 on the JRM Busch Series car.
JUST ANNOUNCED the REAR of all Jr's cars will be BLACK in honor of Dale Sr.
Finally showing a decent picture. Don't know if anyone caught it though.
As soon as Jayski has the images up I will post them.
Can't dispute a word you've said except maybe add in COTS cars.
Does this mean you think we are in for a bull market?
Bulls are over rated! Try Frog legs instead...
Frogs are overrated too.
Jr uploaded some pics on his page
The black portion on the rear of the car is to look like the corvettes they races in the Rolex races.

If the PUJI money doesn't come soon DREAM is done

Ever since news of DREAM stiffing a number of fighters of their contracted fight purses including Gary Goodridge, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza and featherweight champ Bibiano Fernandes, rumors have been running rampant about how dire of financial difficulty the Japanese promotion is in.
Nightmare of Battle does a great job in summing up exactly what the issues have been for FEG that have led to the company being barely able to keep its head above water.
According to the website, the need for outside investment by PUJI Capital was necessitated by a number of factors related to K-1 and DREAM including:
Back taxes the company has been paying since former K-1 head, Ishii, was jailed for tax evasion.
The PRIDE Yakuza/Fuji TV scandal and the Akiyama greasing event lost them sponsors.
An increase in fight purse amounts.
A decrease in money earned from its television deals in 2009 which is said to be 30-50% less than FEG earned in 2008.
The story goes on to quote Japanese MMA magazine Kamipro's editor-in-chief Saito who says the non-payment issues have been going on since DREAM's inaugural event in 2008 and that
the problem hasn't only affected non-Japanese fighters.
According to Saito, FEG stayed afloat in recent years thanks to the money it received from its TV broadcasts of Dynamite!! events, which could explain why DREAM decided to pull the plug on a March show in Korea after a TV deal fell through at the last minute.
Apparently the
PUJI Capital investment deal they were touting as being their secret weapon to defeat the UFC in a global MMA war has taken longer than expected to finalize
and if the money that was promised to them by the financial backer doesn't come soon, the organization will be forced to cancel its planned K-1 MAX Koshien and DREAM 16 events.
Saito says if the PUJI deal falls through, the ramifications will be much worse than cancelled shows,
it could mean "the end" of FEG.
couple things that stick out there for me. essentially the woes of FEG are because of thier own illegal pratices. it is really hard to dig yourself out of a hole that you dug yourself into. that yakuza and of course that former head ducking taxes can only make any business partner hesitant to make an investment.
somehow i dont think its affected anyone but the non japanese fighters. if it affected other fighters than whats the use hiding it when your title holder is openly complaining about it and not taking title fights because FEG owes him money.
this whole situation stinks. they should focus on becoming a stable entity in japan before they talk about expanding to the global stage. an influx of money wont help if they continue to run business the way they have. they have good young fighters. they can build themselves back up but they need to stop worrying about the UFC and start worrying about paying the fighters that make them relevant.

Environmentally friendly homes on display in Duke City
By Ryan Floersheim
The political talk on CNN this week focused on the "great divide" in America, the dead heat in the presidential polls and the balance of presumed blue and red states on the electoral map. There is a similar divide that gets less attention in the mainstream media, but reflects our nation's attitude toward energy consumption and conservation. In New Mexico, perhaps the best symbol of this division is in Taos, where the state's first solar energy utility is being built in eye-shot of Valle Vidal, a pristine wilderness area that might soon be transformed by some 200 natural gas wells and a spider web of roads.
Thin Line

TJ Trout gets issue-oriented. In case you haven't noticed, the 94 Rock morning showman launched a new billboard where his mouth and nipples are covered with tape, with the mock-headline, "FCC-friendly radio." He designed the ad himself and, although it made me laugh like a howler monkey, he says it's not all tongue-in-cheek.
Why Heather Wilson is the Kind of Politician I Hate Most
By Gwyneth Doland
Heather Wilson's practiced hypocrisy is exceeded only by her arrogance. In a form letter recently mailed from her office, she responded to signatories of a MoveOn.org petition by saying, "I don't participate in these games, no matter which side of the partisan divide they originate on." The MoveOn petition, which has been signed by over one million people, urged her and other members of Congress to censure President Bush for misleading the American people on the reasons for invading Iraq. Apparently Wilson wants us to believe that when constituents who don't agree with her engage in the political process they're just playing "games."

The Best of Bad Choices
Given the Iraq War's mounting costs and impossible goals, America should transfer sovereignty and come home.
By Christopher Layne
The administration's Iraq policy is in shambles. Iraq has become a geopolitical humpty-dumpty that America cannot put back together, and the time has come for the United States to withdraw.
[RE: "2004 Spring Crawl Wrap," April 28-May 5]: At first, I looked upon Michael Henningsen's criticism of our band's whining about getting a better time slot at the Spring Crawl as being inconsequential, as only three or so people really ever read what he has to say during any given week. But when not one, but two people mentioned to me that he was ragging on our band for two weeks straight, I had to investigate. It seems that we give Michael no end of trouble! I am not surprised. There is a history here.
Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Canada—A routine test of airport security turned into a Marx Brothers routine after security officers mistakenly sent a passenger home with a suitcase full of TNT. The TNT was supposed to be planted in the bags of a Montreal security agent. Instead, it somehow ended up stuffed into the luggage of an unsuspecting overseas passenger who arrived at Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport last Friday. The unnamed passenger went to a friend's house where he found the explosives concealed in a jam jar and placed inside his suitcase. The man immediately called Quebec provincial police. The TNT, which officials say had no detonator attached, was meant as part of a weekly test for bomb-sniffing dogs at the airport. Ironically, the dogs failed to detect the explosives. The passenger and his baggage were able to pass though airport security unchecked. "Our investigation is going to reveal exactly what happened," airport security spokesman Pierre Goupil told TV network TVA.

Effect of Cold Weather on Hybrid Cars
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: As I sit here in Chicago, which has not seen the temperatures rise above freezing in the last week or so, and more of the same is in the future, I wonder just what effect below-freezing temperatures have on hybrid electric cars and the new electric Volt and Leaf. My understanding of batteries is that they lose their charge and do not perform as well in cold weather as in warm. Are there any studies or opinions regarding that in the car industry?
—Matthew Duff, Westchester, Ill.
A: I just finished test-driving the Chevy Volt in temperatures that stayed below freezing for nearly the whole time I had the car. As a result the battery's range fell more than 30%. In ideal conditions the Volt is supposed to go 40 miles on battery power alone, but I was traveling between 22 and 25 miles before its range-extending gasoline generator kicked in.
I'm not knocking the Volt, which is a technical gem. This is just the way batteries behave in cold weather. Other electrics I have driven suffered similarly in the cold.
I have also worked with rechargeable batteries for years in power tools, personal electronics and radio-controlled models and they always run out of power after what seems like too little time. Count on losing at least 35% of battery range in winter driving.
Q: I'm considering installing an aftermarket computer chip in the 5.7L Hemi engine in my Chrysler 300C to improve its gas mileage. The companies selling these chips claim they will increase gas mileage, increase horsepower and lower emissions. Naturally, I'm skeptical and worried that installing an aftermarket chip might damage the engine over time or cause other problems. What do you think?
—Chris Hart, Austin, Texas
A: I'm also skeptical when it comes to aftermarket chips. Years ago they seemed to make more sense because many cars' engines had a lot of untapped potential for power and fuel economy. But today, with drivers clamoring for vehicles that perform well while using less fuel, I feel as if car makers have come pretty close to maximizing horsepower and fuel economy without putting undue stress on engines, transmissions and other delicate, expensive parts.
Still, car companies are generally conservative so there is probably some room for a few more horses under the hood without doing damage. If you get better fuel economy, that's great, but I wouldn't count on it. Usually you wind up trading miles per gallon for horsepower.
Q: I know it is like shoveling sand against the tide but is there anyway to tell how expensive electricity is to recharge a battery like the one in a Prius, Volt or Leaf? All municipalities charge different rates but there must be an average.
—Wes Rasmussen, Las Vegas
A: The cost to charge varies widely with utility rates and battery sizes, but one rule of thumb is that charging an electric car is like paying about 75 cents per gallon for gasoline. Some reports have put the gasoline equivalent closer to $1.50 while others say it can be less when utilities offer lower off-peak rates. Either way it is less expensive than gasoline. However, if you are looking at electric vehicles purely as money savers you'll probably be disappointed. Almost without exception it will take many years for the savings on fuel to make up for the price premium that is typical of electrics and hybrids.
Q: Since I retired I went from driving 30,000 miles a year to fewer than 5,000. I have a 2007 Buick Lucerne: change oil every 5,000 miles—or once a year. Most driving is local, but I try to go at least 25 to 30 miles one day in the week. What can you suggest to protect the car?
—L.J. Carber, Mt. Laurel, N.J.
A: It is true that regular exercise tends to help cars last longer. Your annual mileage and the weekly frequency with which you drive are enough to keep the mechanical systems in good shape. In addition to regular oil changes you should also think about draining and refilling the cooling system, and perhaps using a trickle charger on the battery to keep it at full capacity in case the car sits for a few weeks without use.

Twenty-three teams from 10 countries recently competed at the International Field Robot event held during the DLG Field Days. This international competition brings international student teams and their autonomous field robots to Bernburg-Strenzfeld, Germany, to compete in five assigned tasks.
Started in 2003 by the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands, the goal of the competition is to test new technologies in robotics and precision farming under real-world conditions.
The DLG (German Agricultural Society) Field Days 2014, held recently at the DLG Crop Protection Center at Bernberg-Strenzfeld, Germany, showcased many new innovations in crop production for German, and European, producers in attendance.
At the Agritechnica farm show last week in Hanover, Germany, editors Willie Vogt and Mark Moore found a lot of different tractor models. Here we quiz your tractor brand IQ in our Guess That Tractor game! We posted the gallery of 19 tractors in black and white with their brand names blocked out on Facebook earlier this week. In this gallery, we give you the answers.
Syngenta announced today the USDA has fully deregulated the Agrisure Duracade corn rootworm trait. Producers can expect corn hybrids containing the trait to be available for the 2014 season.
Very close to the downtown area of Frankfurt, Germany, lies a sprawling 11/2 -sq.-mile industrial park that straddles both sides of the Main River. It's an impressive sight, with all the trappings you'd expect. It is here where Bayer CropScience houses its global research and development programs of the company's herbicides.

Horsham hold nerve to lift Cup
Horsham were crowned Cockspur Cup champions for 2005 after a thrilling last-ball victory over Barnt Green at Lord's.
The Sussex side posted 220 for nine in a match reduced to 40 overs by the weather, and then restricted their midlands opponents to 217 for eight after they failed to get the nine runs needed off the final over, and four off the last ball.
The game was delayed due to a deluge of overnight rain, but still provided a magnificent specatacle for the recreational club game in general.
Barnt Green were only able to manage a single off the final delivery from Horsham skipper Luke Marshall, who secured the National Knockout for his club for the first time.
Horsham's innings was built around 64 from Howard Kasey and 50 from fellow opener Craig Gallagher, who put on 93 for the first wicket, with Sussex's Chris Nash making 58 at number three.
But with former England spinner Richard Illingworth (3-27) and his son Miles taking four wickets between them, Horsham were denied the huge total that looked likely when they sat at 199 for three, a lower-order collapse threatening to derail their early good work.
Matthew Dallaway powered Barnt Green towards their target with 64, putting on 69 for the first wicket with Hall (36).
But although James Samworth came in at number six and fired a rapid 60, he was denied the necessary support to keep the midlanders up with the run-rate.
When seven remained to be got from four balls, left-hander Simon Frogatt venured to clear the short boundary with a big heave, missed and was lbw to 24-year-old Marshall.
Off the next ball Gareth Williams was run out attempting a risky single. Samworth got two from the penultimate ball, but a four off the last delivery eluded him.
Marshall, understandably overcome by events, paid tribute to his young side, averaging only 24: "Chris Nash has been the star of the comepetition for us because he has scored a load of runs, and Mark Nash has performed well with the ball - but is in the field where we have really shone."
Marshall has led his side from the front all season and his brave bowling at the death as well as masterminding their tactical assault on this year's Cockspur Cup has earned him another accolade.
He has been named as this month's Wisden Cricketer Club Cricketer of the Month, sponsored by Cockspur Rum.
Leading them in their march to Lord's started in May when Horsham beat Dulwich in the group stages. Victories against East Molesey and Beckenham saw them top the group to set up a regional final agaianst Walton-on-Thames.
After cruising to victory by eight wickets they went on to beat highly-fancied Tedddington in the sixth round and Sunbury in the quarter-finals, then defeating Havant in the semis to book their passage to the final.
Horsham became the second Sussex side to lift the trophy after Eastbourne's triumph in 1997.
As well as picking up the £6,000 winners cheque Marshall will lead his side out on an all-expenses paid trip to Barbados for the 28th annual Rumsey Pro am this November with a host of ex-Test cricketers including Nick Knight, Robert Croft, Phil De Frietas, Steven Rhodes, Darren Gough and Mark Ramprakash.
Marshall wins a cerificate, a bottle of Cockspur Rum and a Woodworm bat as his prize for being this month's Cockspur Club Cricketer of the Month. He will also be a guest of honour at this year's Club Cricket Confernce Annual Luncheon held at the Cafe Royal on Monday November 28 where the Cockspur Club Cricketer of the Year wil be announced.
Cockspur Cup Final:
Horsham 220-9 (40 overs): HJ Kasey 64, CI Gallagher 50, CD Nash 58, R Illingworth 3-27, RJ Hall 2-28
Barnt Green 217-8 (40 overs): MJ Dallaway 64, RJ Hall 36, JP Samworth 60, C Nash 2-38, CJP Baker 2-35
Horsham won by 3 runs

Mercyhurst men's soccer team seeks Final Four berth
The Mercyhurst men's soccer team will battle for its first NCAA Division II Final Four appearance since 2002 when it takes on Southern New Hampshire on the Penmen's home field today at 1 p.m.
The game is the first meeting between the schools since Southern New Hampshire (19-3) ended Mercyhurst's 2002 postseason run with a 2-1 victory.
The Lakers (16-5-1), winners of eight straight, come into the Elite Eight matchup fresh off a 2-1 victory over PSAC rival Gannon Friday. The Penmen, boasting a seven-game win streak, punched their ticket to the Elite Eight with a 2-0 win against Massachusetts Lowell. Southern New Hampshire hasn't been beaten in regulation since a 1-0 loss to Franklin Pierce Sept. 15.
The Lakers have proved themselves to be road warriors, posting an 8-1-1 record away from Mercyhurst Soccer Field. Southern New Hampshire is 12-1-0 at home this season.
Alex Manea, who scored a goal in the Lakers' victory over Gannon, leads Mercyhurst with 15 goals and 36 points. Chris Tsonis' 15 goals and 34 points lead the Penmen's attack.

Cool Finds, Deals and Steals
Business Profile: The Wildflower
Hailey's Newest Boutique
102 N. Main St. • 208-788-2425
Open 11-6pm Monday - Sunday
Hailey's newest shop is settling in nicely on Main Street. Lisa Patterson, owner of The Wildflower, saw a need for a clothing and gift store in Hailey and jumped on the opportunity. Lisa was selling her wares at The Yellow Brick Road in Hailey, and when it shut it's doors last summer she had a load of inventory she didn't know what to do with. Without hesitating, Lisa opened The Wildflower last fall and has been received with open arms from the community in Hailey. "I was thrilled with the reception since our opening," smiled Lisa. "We get new inventory all the time, so there is always something new here to check out." said Lisa.
Lisa moved here from Bend in 1999, lured here for skiing, and met her husband at one of Ketchum's dating services—Grumpy's. She and her husband left for a period of time, but circled their way back about three years ago—a story often heard in the Valley.
Jewelry and accessories are Lisa's favorite part of her store. Being an incredible jeweler (to which she will deny), Lisa has an eye for add-ons.
The Wildflower fills the clothing store void in Hailey (since North and Company closed it's doors last year), where you'll find chic jeans and t-shirts, sweaters, skirts, candles, wallets, scarves, shoes, boots, jewelry, home accesories, purses, intimates, and bath accessories (so basically everything you could possibly want or need).
Everywhere you turn in Wildflower, there is something different. There is even a growing men's section of clothing and accessories. If you haven't had a chance to check out Wildflower, poke your head in and see what you've been missing!
Don't miss out on Wildflower's "Girls Night Out" on February 16 in cooperation with A Company of Fools production "Distracted". Tickets to the performance are $20 (regularly $30) with a chance to win a goodie bag, $4 wine and a special trunk show of antique jewelry from Tibet and 20% off your purchase at The Wildflower. Refreshments (Proseco!) will be available during the trunk show and hours are extended until 7:30 p.m (trunk show starting at 4:30) and men are encouraged to attend! See you there!

Why go mobile?
Home veterinary care is convenient for pet owners and less stressful for pets.
Do you have multiple pets? No more multiple vet trips! No more waiting rooms!
Dr. Alfredo J. Geigel-Ortiz and staff are a rare gem. When our little family grew from 2 cats to 9 and with limited free time to actually take our kitties to a vet clinic, we knew we made the right choice with Vida Veterinary Mobile Services. I love Dr. Geigel's philosophy that it's "far more important to be preemptive" and have health long living animal than to wait for an something to get worse and than address it. It's important in such profession to have the honest and straight forwardness. It matters to me and I'm sure it will matter to you. We are quite satisfied with the details and quality that he provides with each of our pets. Dr. Alfredo J. Geigel-Ortiz and staff are a rare gem that I highly recommend.Evelyn N.
Dr. Alfredo Geigel...came highly recommended by a couple other Vets... I immediately called Dr. Geigel's office and found that he was a mobile vet and would treat Maya with acupuncture....Today, Maya is seen by Dr. Geigel for acupuncture every 2-3 weeks. She has a younger brother who is a 3 yr old Welsh Corgi (40 lbs) whom Maya now chases down so that she can nip at his rear end to keep him in line - it's truly amazing and I never imagined her being able to run again! I truly believe that a 5 minute conversation with Dr. A. Geigel is your first step to opening up a whole new lease on your pet's quality of life. Please give him a call - there's a whole other paradigm of treatment that is available for your pets ... you won't regret it.Avanthi S.

This variety will grow well in most regions of the United States.
Thyme is thought to have been used by the ancient Egyptians for embalming and by the ancienct Greeks as an incense. The Romans helped to spread thyme around Europe and it was used as a ritual gift in the Middle Ages.
This variety works for
Thyme is used in ethnic dishes from around the globe - as far afield as South American cuisine, European cuisine, and Caribbean cuisine. It can be used to seaon soups and stocks or used to flavor marinages with rosemary and lemon zest.
Try using thyme in seafood or poultry dishes or with red meat. The flavor of the herb is released as it is cooked slowly, making it a great herb for crock-pot or slow cooker meals.
If you're feeling adventurous, try adding thyme in fruit dishes with fresh raspberries, honey, and goat cheese.
You can sow seeds indoors or directly into the soil in mild areas starting around mid-spring.
Space your plants or seeds 6-8 inches apart in well fertilized soil. Plant your seeds 1/4-3/4 in. deep.
This is a "cut-and-come-again" plant so you can harvest leaves as they mature. Keep the leaves well watered and cool.
Mulching the soil around this crop can help protect the plant and keep roots cool and moist. In frost-free zones, this crop can be grow throughout the fall and winter.
Thyme should be sown indoors in soil trays or pots 6-8 weeks before the last frost in the spring. You can sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and they will germinate in about 10-20 days. You can transplant your seedlings outdoors after there is no longer a chance of frost. Plant them in full sun and place them 6-12 inches apart.

For a film that cost only $15,000 to make Paranormal Activity is piling up reviews that are generally as enthusiastic as box-office proceeds have been flourishing. Moving into a few hundred theaters today, the film is being called "ingenious" by the likes of Roger Ebert. "So well made, it's truly scary," he remarks. Without a chain-saw-wielding villain or expensive special effects, the movie "worms its way under our skin like a creepy parasite," writes Claudia Puig in USA Today. Peter Hartlaub in the San Francisco Chronicle figures that the $15,000 budget benefited the production. "In the end," he writes, "the budget seems about perfect. It turns out that a really cheap film and a filmgoer with a good imagination is more than enough for a scary and entertaining night at the movies." On the other hand, A.O. Scott in the New York Times dismisses it as "a crudely made, half-clever little frightener that has become something of a pop-culture sensation and most certainly the movie marketing story of the year."

Skip to comments.Super Tuesday Polling: Mittmentum?
Posted on 02/04/2008 5:49:24 AM PST by jdm
Rasmussen and Real Clear Politics have done their best to keep up with the Super Tuesday primaries across over 20 states, and the polling seems to show a slight shift in momentum for Mitt Romney, at least in California. Mitt has pulled into a tie with John McCain, whose support among moderates made this a more likely win for the Arizona Senator:
In California, Republican Primary Voters are evenly divided between John McCain and Mitt Romney. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds McCain attracting 38% of the vote and Romney earning an identical 38%. Mike Huckabee is a distant third at 10%, Ron Paul picks up 6%, and 6% say theyll vote for some other candidate.
Earlier in the week, McCain had a small advantage over Romney. Since then, Giuliani dropped out of the race and endorsed McCain. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also endorsed the GOP frontrunner. While those events may have helped McCain, a conservative backlash for anybody-but-McCain appears to have helped Romney.
Romney leads 42% to 37% among conservative voters while McCain leads by eleven points among political moderates. McCain has a slight lead among men while Romney leads among women.
Zogby has Romney on top by eight in the Golden State. If that holds, Romney could pull off an impressive win and secure more delegates than he'd dreamed in California. Zogby, however, is normally an unreliable predictive indicator, and Rasmussen's polling has proven more reliable than most.
Rasmussen also has Romney behind by four nationally in its daily tracking poll. That is a step backwards for Romney, who had tied McCain in its tracking poll last week. The tracking polls are not as reliable as the standard Rasmussen polling either, but the fluctuations probably capture the volatility in the race accurately enough.
Real Clear Politics' polling aggregates don't show much Mittmentum elsewhere. Romney only has a commanding lead in Massachusetts, while McCain leads by significant margins in at least a half-dozen major states, including the winner-take-all New York, New Jersey, and Arizona primaries. If Romney plans to battle McCain to a draw tomorrow, he'll have to overcome a 200-delegate head start.
That dang Mickey Mouse! Well, I guess it's somewhat of a home state for him....
101 New York
58 Missouri
53 Arizona
52 New Jersey
30 Connecticut
294 delegates just from winner-take-all
Romney winner-take-all wins
36 Utah
Unknown advantage winner-take-all
25 Montana
18 Delaware
Sick of McClaim. Did everything against conservative values, and now claims he is a conservative.
A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for John McCain.
Montana is definitely Romney territory.
I hope there is "Mittmentum".
He's the only one to campaign there. We'll see. There are a very small number of people who vote. I'd imagine Romney got a lot of Mormons into precinct positions.
This may be true on the whole, but in Florida, Rasmussen had Romney up by about 2-3% and Zogby had McManiac up by about 5-6%, and as it turned out, Zogby hit it spot-on in FL.
Rasmussen's polling has been more weighted to Romney than other polls, and has underestimated McCain. I suspect his turnout screening is tighter and higher turnout has pushed things McCain's way.
McCain is going to leave the GOP when he doesn't get the nomination this time.
Maybe you can follow him out : )
John McCain changed after the 2000 election. Now he will try to return to being the pre-2000 McCain. It won't work.
..."Zogby hit it spot-on in FL."
Exactly. And I sure hope and pray Zogby's spot-on in California too.
After McCain's terrible performance in the debate last week, maybe Republicans in California are beginning to wise up to the fact that McCain would make a very poor nominee.
Believe me, I've thought of leaving the GOP. Too many scumbag liberals like Mitt as officeholders.
But it is working and will likely continue to work. The American People as a whole do not follow politics as do Freepers and they will believe whatever the MSM tells them.
How else can you explain McCain winning anywhere among Republicans.... how soon they forget Keating, alliances for bad legislation with Feingold, and Kennedy, and Lieberman.
And perhaps one of his worst moves, leading the gang of 14!
I'm supporting John McCain. I didn't used to, but now I do.
McCain is mentally unstable, and would put this country in grave danger.
But let prophesy be fulfilled...
"Moderate" is the key here, and it's unacceptable.
You would have this piece of garbage "McCain" run the party?
We need a song based on "Next Time ... He'll Think Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood , " about McCain.
This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," January 31, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. [ 5 minutes 32 seconds ]
SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: And Senator John McCain is gaining momentum, but not all conservatives are jumping for joy.
Senator McCain is a polarizing candidate for many. And critics point to his stance on immigration, his work with Russ Feingold.
But with a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy on the Democratic side of the aisle, will true conservatives eventually fall in line and support the Arizona senator?
Joining us now, author of the "New York Times" best seller, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd be Republicans," our friend Ann Coulter.
How are you?
ANN COULTER, AUTHOR, "IF DEMOCRATS HAD ANY BRAINS": Fine, thank you.
HANNITY: Your thoughts about -
Look I'm standing on substance here.
COULTER: Yes.
HANNITY: It's immigration.
It's limits on free speech.
It's not supporting tax cuts.
COULTER: It's Anwar. It's torture at Guantanamo.
HANNITY: Class warfare rhetoric. It's interrogations. It's Guantanamo. It's Anwar.
These are not small issues to conservatives.
COULTER: No, and if you're looking at substance rather than whether it's an R or D after his name, manifestly,
if he's our candidate, then Hillary's going to be our girl, Sean,
because she's more conservative than he is. I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism.
I absolutely believe that.
HANNITY: That's the one area I disagree with you.
COULTER: No, yes, we're going to sign up together. Let me explain that point on terrorism.
HANNITY: You'd vote for Hillary
COULTER: Yes. I will campaign for her if it's McCain.
HANNITY: If Hillary is watching tonight, you just got an endorsement
COLMES: I just heard the word no.
COULTER: I was touched when she cried.
That part isn't true.
But the rest of it is true.
He has led the fight against
well, as you say, interrogations. I say torture at Guantanamo.
She hasn't done that. She hasn't taken a position in front.
HANNITY: Without interrupting you, let me give you one distinction
that's what liberals do to you. Let me give you one distinction, he did support the war
COULTER: So did Hillary.
HANNITY: But he stayed with it. He supported the surge.
I didn't like his criticisms of Rumsfeld, but he was right
COULTER: OK, let's get to him supporting the surge.
He keeps going on and on about how he was the only Republican who supported the surge and other Republicans attacked him.
It was so awful how he was attacked. It was worse than being held in a tiger cage.
Okay, well I looked up the record.
Republicans all supported the surge. He's not only not the only one who supported the surge,
I promise you no Republican attacked him for this. And you know why he's saying that, Sean,
because he keeps saying it at every debate, I'm the only one. I was attacked by Republicans.
He's confusing Republicans with his liberal friends.
They're the ones who attacked him for it, his real friends.
HANNITY: Hillary Clinton, if she gets her way, will nationalize health care.
She's going to pull the troops out of Iraq.
COULTER: I don't think she will.
HANNITY: That's what she's saying she's going to do.
COULTER: Compared to John McCain, she will do better.
HANNITY: She says in a hundred days she's immediately going to begin to pull out.
COULTER: Look, she's running in a Democratic primary. He's running in the Republican primary, and their positions are about that far apart.
When George Bush said at the State of the Union Address that the surge is working in Iraq,
Obama sat on his hands,
Kennedy sat on his hands,
Hillary leapt up and applauded that we are winning in the surge and that the surge is working in Iraq.
She gave much better answers in those debates when Democrats like Obama and Biden were saying what do we do? What do we do if three cities are attacked. She said, I will find who did it and I will go after them.
HANNITY: You want to sit back.
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: Can I just say something Ann -
Coulter: I would trust any republican - any republican - but John McCain - more than Hillary Clinton
.HANNITY:)Hey, you want to sit back -
COULTER: - Because with John McCain - Hillary is absolutely more conservative.
Moreover -
COLMES: My work is done. My work is done.
COULTER: Moreover, she lies less than John McCain.
I'm a Hillary girl now.
She lies less than John McCain.
She's smarter than John McCain,
so that when she's caught shamelessly lying, at least the Clintons know they've been caught lying.
McCain is so stupid, he doesn't even know he's been caught.
COLMES: Go.
In fact, could you fill in for me next week?
COULTER: If it's McCain, I will.
COLMES: Let me get this straight, would you vote for Hillary Clinton?
COULTER: Yes.
COLMES: You would actually go in a voting booth
COULTER: If it's close and the candidate is John McCain, because John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism,
which he definitely is. He is bad for for the country
He is very very bad for the country.
COLMES: Can I tell you the last thing that Hillary Clinton wants? Ann Coulter's endorsement.
COULTER: He will not give up on amnesty.
He will not give up on amnesty. Now -
Even now he's running as a Republican, he won't give up on amnesty. I'm at that debate the other night, he's coming in attacking profits, capitalism -
COULTER: I'm serious.
COLMES: I know, but let me get serious for a second, because so far I haven't been.
Look, are you telling me
look at all the people endorsing McCain.
I'm not talking about Johnny come lately Republicans.
Nancy Reagan is wrong?
Rick Perry is wrong?
Arnold is wrong?
Charlie Crist is wrong?
COULTER: Okay, other than Nancy Reagan
COULTER: No. I will explain. It's not that they're wrong other than Nancy Reagan. And by the way
we loved Nancy Reagan for loving Ron Reagan. We didn't love her for her political positions.
Who wants embryonic stem-cell research? And I'm moving Nancy reagan to the -
COLMES: Hello. Hello. Are all of these people are off the beat.
COULTER: I'm trying to answer the question. Stop talking.
I'm moving Nancy Reagan to the side, and I'm saying all the rest of these political endorsements mean one thing;
they think he's the front runner. They want a job in his administration.
Nothing means less than an endorsement from someone who wants a position.
COLMES: They're all hoes just looking for a job?
COULTER: No,
but they all do want jobs.
COLMES: I'm giving her the opportunity
COULTER: They do all want jobs. What they want -
It's good to be friends with the king.
Some people - like me -
HANNITY: Will you be careful.
COULTER: Some people don't care about being the king.
Read Mark Levin
I don't think most conservatives are interested in McCains class ranking at Annapolis or how many planes he was nearly killed in. There have been a few posts here mentioning it.
And I appreciate all the references to Reagan's efforts to advance his agenda, which did involve making compromises with a Democrat House and, throughout most of his presidency, a Democrat Congress.
And if John McCain showed this kind of temperament and vision in his political career, I don't think most who object to his candidacy during the primaries would be objecting to it today. I think we would be enthusiastically supporting him.
Painting Reagan as a tax-and-spend Republican, who basically went along with Washington and appointed a bunch of moderates to the Supreme Court, in an apparent attempt to build up McCain's conservative and leadership credentials and mollify his critics, has the opposite effect mostly because it is inaccurate. It reminds me of Bill Clinton's supporters using Thomas Jefferson's alleged adultery to explain the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Reagan challenged his party from the Right. He sought the Republican nomination in 1968 against Richard Nixon and lost. He sought the nomination against Gerald Ford in 1976 and lost. He fought the Republican establishment in 1980 as well, including Bob Dole, Howard Baker, and George H. W. Bush, and won.
McCain has challenged his party from the Left. I don't know how many more times I and others have to lay out his record to prove the point.
To put a fine point on it, when he had to, Reagan sought compromise from a different set of beliefs and principles than McCain. It does a great disservice to historical accuracy and the current debate to continue to urge otherwise.
Let me be more specific, rather than spar in generalities. Reagan would never have used the phrase "manage for profit" as a zinger to put down a Republican opponent. Reagan believed in managing for profit because he believed in free enterprise. That doesn't mean he didn't agree to certain tax increases (after fighting for and winning the most massive tax cuts in modern American history), which were incidentally to be accompanied by even greater spending cuts.
McCain believes the oil companies are evil, and said it during one of the debates.
Among his first acts as president, Reagan decontrolled the prices of natural gas and crude oil with the stroke of his pen because, as he understood, profit funds research and exploration. Reagan had a respect for and comprehension of private property rights and markets that McCain does not. There never would have been a Reagan-Lieberman bill, in which the federal government's power over the private sector would have trumped the New Deal.
Reagan opposed limits on political speech.
The Reagan administration ended the Fairness Doctrine and the media ownership rules, which helped create the alternative media that McCain despises. Reagan's reverence for the Constitution would never have allowed him to support, let alone add his name to, something like McCain-Feingold.
As for Reagan's Supreme Court appointments, it is wholly misleading to simply list those who turned out to be disappointing as evidence of Reagan's willingness to compromise on judicial appointments or appoint moderates, or whatever the point was.
In Sandra Day O'Connor's case, he was assured by Barry Goldwater and Ken Starr that she was an originalist. While on the Court, she started out on fairly sound footing, and then lurched toward the Left, something Reagan could not foresee or control.
Yes, Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy to the Court, but only after:
Reagan sought to abolish all kinds of federal programs and agencies from the Department of Education to the Action Agency/VISTA and the list goes on and on.
I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult for someone with the time and inclination, such as a think-tank scholar, to go back and examine the early budgets that Reagan sent to Congress. Am I the only one who remembers all the horror stories in the media portraying Reagan's budgets
The one area Reagan drastically increased spending was defense.
And while McCain is said to be among the most capable of hawks, he used little of his political capital and media savvy to oppose the Clinton cuts or to warn the nation about the rising threat from al-Qaeda, for that matter. He did not call for the resignation of his good friend Bill Cohen, who was a terrible defense secretary. McCain was not alone, of course. But a more fulsome examination of McCain's senatorial record relating to defense, intelligence, and law enforcement is met mostly with silence or admonitions to avert our eyes.
Reagan would not have led efforts to grant the enemy constitutional and international rights, as McCain has. I believe he would have sided with President Bush. After all, as president, Reagan rejected efforts to expand the Geneva Conventions to cover terrorists.
This is a key area of departure for McCain not only from Bush but most national security advocates. But, alas, we must avert our eyes, again.
As for the 1986 Reagan amnesty for illegal aliens, we've been down this road time and again.
The bill was carefully reviewed within the Reagan administration, including at the Justice Department (at the time, the INS reported to the attorney general). Reagan agreed that amnesty would be conferred on 2-3 million illegal aliens as a one-time event in exchange for adequate funding for border security. The bill passed in 1987. The border security part of the deal was never enforced.
To say that Reagan supported amnesty and no more is to rewrite history. There would have been no Reagan-Kennedy bill, written largely by LULAC and LaRaza.
But we must rewrite history
if we are to make the case that McCain is no different from Reagan,
Reagan is no different from his predecessors,
and Reagan's speeches weren't all that revolutionary.
And if we object to such characterizations, then the argument shifts to Reagan wasn't perfect,
the Reagan era is dead,
these are different times, etc. Then, if we criticize McCain's record we are told
Look, I do not believe that McCain is a principled conservative.
I believe he is a populist hawk in the tradition of a Scoop Jackson. This isn't a perfect comparison, of course, but nothing is ever perfect, is it?
In my view, this is why the hawks will support McCain regardless of his record in virtually every other respect. Moreover, they see McCain as the only Republican who has the will or ability or whatever to fight terrorism. I don't.
But please, can we at least agree, on National Review's website of all places, to stop dumbing down or dismissing the Reagan record. If you are going to use it, at least be accurate about it. It isn't perfect, but it is far superior to the backhand it received earlier.
Mark Levin isn't called the GREAT ONE for no reason.
I hope you are happy with Amnesty. McCain (and Hillary, Obama) guarantee amensty for illegals. Romney at least would veto it and give hope to this country. People like you allow amnesty by rooting for McCain.
McCain went much, much farther than Romney in pushing liberal policies. But we all know you don't care about McCain's liberal positions because you are for amnesty. And Romney would never allow an amnesty, so that's why you are against him.
Unlike you, I support conservatives, not lying scumbag liberals.
I would love to have a conservative to vote for at this point.
But now, we have to grow up and face reality. We have what we have.
But why are you attacking conservatives who continue to oppose him and cheer his demise? You admit he's not a conservative, at least.
Try to have some civility, if we truly are on the same side.
I'll be voting Hunter or Thompson in my primary, most likely. But I could vote for McCain in a general election, where Romney is just such a blatant liar and opportunist that I cannot and will not vote for scum like that. I would much rather have a relatively honest pol with some liberal positions than a slimeball. But Romney is a slimeball who still has liberal positions, which puts him way beyond the pale.
The way I see Romney is that he really doesn't have a set liberal agenda. He bounces back and forth without having a set of principles that are obvious, so we have no idea what he really thinks.
McCain, on the other hand, has been steadfast in the last 20 years in backing liberal policies and agreeing with Dems over Republicans. I see his agenda as following liberal principles (except when it comes to the military). So we can tell what he will do easily - amnesty, higher taxes, reductions of liberties.
He also likes to be the 'maverick' and turn against those he is with. He'll lash out at the Republicans in Congress, just as he's done his entire career. He's dangerous to the country and the party, much more than a liberal Democrat.

Great tour! Miss Ginnie is adorable and very knowledgeable. The van was very comfortable and cool. She told us about the history of New Orleans and we saw many beautiful buildings. It was a small group so we got to know each other. They were very fun and pleasant.Major bonus was that they pick you up at your hotel! Thank you Isabelle tours and Miss Ginnie!

The guide, an 81 year old native of New Orleans, was superb. The depth of his knowledge of the city, it's history, architecture, and people was wonderful. Any tour led by this guy will be good, I'm convinced. My only complaint is the van was a very uncomfortable ride. We were seated in the back row, and the washboard streets of New Orleans made for violent bouncing up and down. It may be better in rows further toward the front, so be sure to get in one of those seats if at all possible.

Great tour, perfect amount of time, nice stop in the mid point to restroom and get a drink and really got to see everything to get a feel for New Orleans! Highly recommend ! Loved our guide Gene.
April 2016
Ellen, our tour guide was amazing and we learned a lot about areas and places outside of the French Quarter.
March 2016
I would call this more of a city tour as we seemed to touch on every part of New Orleans. Our guide was wonderful, full of stories and knowledge. We took this tour on our first day in the city and that is what we recommend because it gives you such a good overview. Then you can go back and take a second look at the areas that really grab your interest. Worth every cent we paid and more!
March 2016
Wonderful tour, I really enjoyed it.
December 2015
Billy !!! You're the best guide ever ! Thanks for a great tour and lots of laughs along the way.
November 2015
Bill was personable and knowledgeable and fielded all our questions expertly. Having the tour via van was a huge plus and allowed us the time to make a couple of unscheduled stops. I and my husband highly recommend the tour.
September 2015
The tour consisted of only a few people and our guide was absolutely wonderful - she certainly knew 'her New Orleans' and was so very informative. Isabelle Tours would be used by us again should we ever be in New Orleans again!
July 2015
Great tour! because there were only 2 couples on this particular day, we had personalized service! our guide gave us a few extras, helping us avoid the crowds, and take in the sights. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get an overview of the area and see NOLA up close.

GenOSept is a STREP which uses a multidisciplinary fundamental genomics approach (gene expression, structural genomics and population genetics) to examine genetic predisposition to sepsis.
Sepsis (a life-threatening infection) is a major public health problem throughout Europe. In the USA, in 1995, it cost $17 billion to treat 751 000 patients with severe sepsis, of whom 28.6% died. The Centre for Disease Control suggests that sepsis-attributable mortality rates are rising. We hypothesise that susceptibility to expensive new treatments and fatal outcomes from severe sepsis are, in part, genetically determined.
The GenOSept project will test this hypothesis. The partners aimed to standardise protocols for genotyping, facilitate application of new knowledge in functional and structural genomics, harmonise high-throughput genotyping and quality control between major European centres, and contribute to reducing sepsis-related mortality in European healthcare.[+] Read More
Genetic predisposition for the incidence and outcome of sepsis has been recognised and suggested as a possible powerful tool for future risk stratification and even as inclusion criteria for therapeutic trials. GenOSept also contains a module which links patterns of gene expression with patterns of genomic variation in corresponding genes.
Genomic variants may influence the individual phenotype including gene expression levels and patterns, as well as protein levels and protein structure. A possible result is that future intensive care physicians may have access to readily available genetic risk patterns including pharmacogenetics of their patients which not only allows for better risk stratification, but may also help tailor individual patient care and drug therapy.
The major milestones of GenOSept were:
The expected results of GenOSept are that, among others, it will:
The novel genes identified by expression studies will add to a set of candidate genes used in a subsequent epidemiologic study which will:
The GenOSept findings will contribute to reducing sepsis-mortality and morbidity in European ICUs. The project will link fundamental genomics to sepsis, a major European public health issue. The application of gene expression studies and structural genome analysis detecting genomic variation will generate novel data on relevant genes as well as novel genomic variations involved in the genetic predisposition of incidence and outcome from sepsis. The evaluation and use of novel techniques, including the gene chip technology and the establishment of a European network of clinical and laboratory groups working in the field of critical care medicine, will strengthen European biotech industry.

In this clinic, James Murphy, Berklee assistant professor and drum set player for the Blue Man Group Boston, will discuss and demonstrate his glue method of soloing, which he developed to connect set ideas at fast note rates without hesitation. When practicing, the development of this method is very structured and mechanical. However, it transforms into freedom behind the kit as you add more set ideas and glue stickings to your bag. A selection of vocabulary, combined with muscle memory, creates the freedom to mix, match, and connect these ideas spontaneously into a seamless flow of thoughts while soloing. With this method, come and go freely in and out of the groove, or leave the groove and create a solo based on an endless stream of set ideas and glue stickings. Murphy graduated from Berklee with a bachelor of music degree in performance in 2003. Upon graduation, he quickly immersed himself in the Boston music scene as an active player, educator, and clinician. In addition to his busy performing schedule, Murphy is a sought-after drum set instructor. In addition to teaching at Berklee, he has maintained a full rooster of private students at his drum school, Stix Drum Instruction, located in Essex, Massachusetts. He also started PeaceAndDrums.Com to accommodate his demand as an instructor: the site offers pre-recorded video lessons for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players with lesson topics including technique, fills, and grooves. Murphy's unique teaching methods are shared with readers around the globe, too, as an educational contributor to Modern Drummer Magazine.
