I've been cloth diapering for 7 months and my daughter is now 16 months old. I use Kawaii pocket diapers. I have been starting to have leaks and have to change her every hour it seems like. I've tried stripping the diapers and doubling up but it seems like that doesn't help much. So now I cloth diaper part time. I feel really guilty about putting her in disposables, but right now it's SO much easier than dealing with the constant leaks. Also, I use Rocking green soap detergent only. Anyone else have Kawaii's and have this problem? Should I try a different brand of cloth diaper? Advice please!

If the inserts are soaked, then you need more absorbency. If all your inserts are microfiber, try adding cotton, bamboo, or hemp inserts with a microfiber insert and see if that doesn't help quite a bit. Microfiber absorbs quickly, but releases wetness under compression very easily and is more likely to cause leaks without a natural fiber under it to absorb and hold the excess.
How do the legs fit? If there are any gaps with the extra insert in the pocket, that will cause leaks, too.

I have a couple Kawiaa pockets and find that they do leak for easily than my other diapers. I don't know if it's just a fit issue or the insert I use. I also have BG and Fuzzibunz. I don't particularly like the way FBs fit. I find the BGs to be the best pocket and have been using them for years. I have been stuffing my Kawaii's with prefolds but have found that it's starting to not be enough. (LO is 8 months old). I use hemp inserts with my ODD in the BGs and really like them. They are trimmer than other inserts and absorb just as much. I will probably try the hemp in the Kawaii to see how it works out. HTHs.

Yesterday's LA Times says a new light rail line is being planned that would go directly into LAX, via Crenshaw Boulevard and Florence Avenue.
The new line would replace long-stalled plans to extend the Green Line from Interstate 105 south of the airport into LAX. It would be more likely to win FAA approval than the Green Line extension, according to the article, because it would not pass through any runway clear zones; the Green Line extension was planned to pass just east of the threshholds to 25L and 25R. In addition to taking passengers to LAX, it would also replace busses that carry local passengers along Crenshaw Avenue.
It would cost $1 billion and "could" be finished by 2015. The new line is competing for funds with a proposed subway under Wilshire Boulevard to Santa Monica.

Dead links[edit]
"supported the need to defend the secularism of the State, being then criticized by members of UDC and of his own party." That comment should have a working link or source, or it should be removed. This seems controversial and should be cited. Bergmanucsd (talk) 22:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Bergmanucsd
Underrepresented time as Speaker of the Chamber[edit]
Fini was Speaker of the Chamber from 2008 to 2013, but his actions after 2009 are underrepresented. ~~Bergmanucsd — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bergmanucsd (talk • contribs) 22:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Actually I think that Mr Fini is still Deputy PM in addition of being Foreign Minister. This is what Italian newspapers said on the occasion of the appointment of Mr Follini as another Deputy PM. alessio 11:02, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I have reverted the edits of Ellipsis4677 becouse he/she has mostly tried to remove some controversial aspects of the Fini's biography like:
- Fini focusing on a campaign against illegal immigration
- the fact that he in 1992 and 1994 praised Italy's wartime dictator Benito Mussolini "the greatest statesman of the twentieth century" and declared "Fascism has a tradition of honesty, correctness and good government".
- the fact that he was in Genoa during the 27th G-8 Summit and maintained close contact with the police and security forces. For at least some of this time, he was actually ensconced at police headquarters.
and so on.
ALoopingIcon 20:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Please cite sources for the above if you revert edits because of controversial points you claim are in factual evidence. Gashlicker 19:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Fini's page is starting to become a farce. It's unacceptable for users to add unsubstantiated or biased information which only aim to put the politician in a bad light. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information, not of political propaganda.
His presence at the G-8 summit in Genoa is an excellent example of an urban legend purported by elements of the Italian far left, which was never proven and has been used to show that Fini, "the fascist", cooperated with the police, which are seen as an instrument of power by the state. This only one example and if anyone wants to revert to versions that have been saved in the meantime, I suggest that they make the effort to start looking for links which back up what they are stating.
Sex with the wife of a friend ?[edit]
I read that Fini had in an earlier part of his Life sex with the wife of a friend: http://www.taz.de/pt/2007/03/05/a0140.1/text Should this part of the article ?
- I don't see why a rumor should be part of an encyclopedic entry? Your source is very leftwing anyway.Ellipsis4677 13:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons.

New version[edit]
The article has been renewed with a translation from it:Gianfranco Fini--Dans (talk) 22:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Ian Spackman, can you give me a hint on how to cleanup the article? Thanks. Bests,--Dans (talk) 15:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- I am sorry but all I can say is try to enlist a native speaker of English to give it the once over. Things like 'Personal evenements' are not comprehensible English. I would happily have done it myself (rather than adding the tag) except that I find Fini a fairly distasteful character and would not have trusted myself to do it in an 'NPOV' manner. All the best, though, Ian Spackman (talk) 15:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry for my English, but I did my best. I'll try to improve it again. By the other side, I'd like if you help me just correcting grammar & lexicon.
- Please stop contributing in English. Your competence in English isn't adequate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- I wanted to upload a new version of the article exactly to show to non-Italian speaker the political evolution of Fini, in order to let people not be surprised if he is elected premier or President of the Republic next time (a joke going around in this months says that Fini is the best fit for the contended place of secretary of the Democratic party..)--Dans (talk) 17:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll tell you, the lighted Christmas snowflakes of Market Street used to stop just past Fifth Street, because, you know, who cares about Mid Market?
Well, these days, the lighted Christmas snowflakes of Market Street make it all the way to 7th Street, AFAICS.

Here's how things looked last night on Market Street, with all the streetlights and giant snowflakes turned off for some reason.

Could it have something to do with the jury-rigged, frat-house-style wiring our City Family uses?

Well here it is:
"The British Consul General, Ms Priya Guha, requests the pleasure of your company at a reception prior to a screening of "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" November 16, 6:00-7:15pm"
O.K. then. And that's not at all a typical kind of thing for San Francisco's consular community, really, but our British Consulate–General is out there in the Bay Area promoting the heck out of Britain. (Cool Britannia they used to call it.) And actually that's not a hard job when you have Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding this year (and her recent California visit, dropping by just to say "hi") and the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics and whathaveyou.
Add to that list the start of a movie series that could rival James Bond and Harry Potter, who knows. It's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (that's a nice trailer, huh?) featuring Mr. Gary Oldman (H.P.'s godfather!) and, already, it has an obscenely-high 97% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Check it:
"Based on the classic novel of the same name, the international thriller is set at the height of the Cold War years of the mid-20th Century. George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a disgraced British spy, is rehired in secret by his government – which fears that the British Secret Intelligence Service, a.k.a. MI-6, has been compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets."
So last night, San Francisco's first female British Consul General, Ms. Priya Guha, introduced this film at the Century 9 in Westfield's San Francisco Centre. She pointed out that Britain is quite big in the movie biz, having over 100 film studios and 2500 post-production companies.
And then it was on with the show.
And then, who popped up as the curtain dropped but Gary Oldman and Director Tomas Alfredson. (Or so I'm told.) This very same crew was up in San Rafael two days ago and who knows where they'll be tonight:
"OH MY GOD, Gary Oldman is coming to the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy screening tonight?!!"
Anway, I don't have a shot for you, so:
But I do have shots from last night of people who may or may not have wanted their photos taken, so I'll leave them caption-free. (I'll note that CBS Channel 5 was def. in the house with famous Liam Mayclem and Beth Spotswood (she's earned a page on Wiki now? Wow) on hand.)

Artisanal manufacturing – that's a new one on me.
All the deets, below.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18 — Charles Chocolates announced today that it has signed a 10 year lease with Westfield San Francisco Centre to begin building its flagship retail store and open kitchen. This agreement is the first step in creating the new home for Charles Chocolates' iconic open kitchen in the heart of San Francisco. Construction is scheduled to begin soon with a projected opening in January 2011; the retail portion of the store opens this November. Until then, the Charles Chocolates retail store can be found on the third floor of Westfield San Francisco Centre, Under the Dome.
"We are seeing a resurgence and resilience of manufacturing businesses in the City, particularly artisanal manufacturing," said Mayor Newsom. "Charles Chocolates not only represents the best in the art of chocolate making, but is part of a wave that is bringing manufacturing to the center of innovation and creativity that is San Francisco."
Charles Chocolates created the country's only completely open artisan chocolate kitchen 4 years ago in Emeryville, CA. Now they've taken what they've learned and are building an even more exciting confection production kitchen in a stunning new location on the fourth floor of Westfield San Francisco Centre, under the historic dome of the former Emporium department store. This concept is a collaboration between Chuck Siegel of Charles Chocolates, EDG Design and Lou Felthouse Architect. The real estate deal was brokered by Carol Gilbert of CGI Real Estate in San Francisco.
"We are excited to begin working on our new flagship retail store and open kitchen," commented Chuck Siegel, founder of Charles Chocolates. "The opportunity to bring the artisan confection making process front and center, allowing everyone who visits the chance to see what goes into creating the chocolates that they are enjoying, is a thrill for all of us."
The final project will be a combination of a confection shop and an open kitchen. The shop will include the complete selection of Charles Chocolates artisan products, handmade ice cream, house-made pastries and an espresso bar. Behind the shop will be a completely glassed in 5,000 square foot commercial confection kitchen which will allow anyone to watch how these confections are made. Upon opening the new space, Charles Chocolates' famous factory tours will once again take you through how their confections are created.
"Locating a chocolate factory in the heart of San Francisco's downtown shopping districtwill be a unique, imaginative and delicious attraction Under the Dome of Westfield San Francisco Centre," said Heather Almond, Westfield. "Charles' factory tours, cafe and award winning chocolates are the perfect combination of retail, dining and entertainment offerings popular with our guests. We're delighted to be part of a new concept in a city that thrives on fresh ideas."
All about Chuck, after the jump
Brace yourselves – it's Truffle Month at Godiva. That means that tomorrow, November 19th, 2009, they're giving away truffles starting at 5:00 PM at malls everywhere.

Now, they might try to slip you a truffle with sea salt on it, but all you have to say is, "Sea salt belongs in the ocean, not on my truffle. Give me a different one." There you go.

Here's something you haven't done but you should do: Visit the Sky Terrace atop the Westfield Mall on Market Street. It's a Privately Owned Public Open Space, so the Man has to let you up there whether he likes it or not.
Hey, why not visit all the POPOS in San Francisco by using this well-researched guide from the people at SPUR and this handy map from the San Francisco Chronicle's John King and Marcus Chan?
Here it is, featuring the Emporium Dome. Click to expand:
You're up fairly high and you get an unusual view of the City:
If you look the right direction, you can forget the past 80 or so years of development. Here you can see UC Hastings College of Law and the highest dome in the Western Hemisphere, San Francisco City Hall:
But is this rooftop retreat hard to find? Not really. If you're out on the street, just go into 835 Market (right next to the Bong Building), tell the security guard you want to go up to the Sky Terrace, and then you're up there in no time. If you get hassled, keep yelling, "I knows my rights!" Repeatedly. That ought to do the trick.
Will you want to go back? Maybe, maybe not. A lot of these POPOS places aren't what you call "destinations" – they're just places to hang out if you're around.
Anyway, check it out.
"The new Sky Terrace is the perfect setting for an exclusive and urban rooftop experience. It has a private entrance and overlooks the gorgeous dome and cityscape.
It's perfect for a VIP lounge, wedding ceremony, film location, reception or intimate dinner. Combining the Sky Terrace with Under the Dome creates an event that flows in surprising directions.
Up to 300 guests for a cocktail reception, 175 for a sit-down dinner. 3,000+ square feet. Up to 2,500+ guests when spaces are combined."
See you there!

Comedian Tig Notaro, Kinks' Dave Davies playing Turner Hall Ballroom shows
Turner Hall Ballroom Tuesday announced two upcoming shows: one with a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, the other featuring a stand-up who has made waves in the comedy world.

On Tap Today: Broods at the Rave
Well, the band Flight of the Conchords at the center of the cult HBO comedy series didn't exactly put New Zealand music on the map (songs with titles like "The Most Beautiful Girl (in the Room)" are kind of destined for failure, aren't they?) But Lorde definitely did, and that opens up doors for other associated acts from her homeland to break out--groups like Broods.
Consisting of the Nott siblings Caleb and Georgia, the electronic pop duo is reminiscent of Lorde's style, and that makes sense--the two acts share a producer in Joel Little. »Read Full Blog Post

A theoretical framework and competency-based approach to improving handoffs

- Accepted 7 October 2007
Background: Once characterised by remarkable continuity of care by a familiar doctor, patient care today is delivered by multiple physicians with varying degrees of knowledge of the patient. Yet, few trainees learn the potential risks of these transitions and the strategies to improve patient care during handoffs. Little is known regarding the mechanisms by which handoffs affect patient care.
Results: Building on theoretical constructs from the social sciences and illustrated with a case study of the implementation of a night float service for the inpatient general medicine services at the University of Chicago, a conceptual framework is proposed to describe how handoffs affect both patients and physicians.
Conclusion: Using this conceptual framework, recommendations are made for formal education based on the core competencies of communication and professionalism. Opportunities to educate trainees in acquiring these skills are described in the context of handoffs of patient care.
Competing interests: None declared.

Just one of many endless ways you can determine who is good or bad. I wouldn't sweat it so much.
I didnt see this posted anywhere so forgive me if this is old news but how in the hell can Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond be among the worst of the announcers. What I do not get is the author of this article bashes announcers for being homers well the announcers are working for that TEAM so I would expect them to be biased. Am I a homer for thinking are announcers definitly are not as bad as Jack Edwards.
I didn't look at the listing, but if the composer of this deal wrote it on them being kinda even-keeled or bland about a game, I'd agree. And I don't think being on an even-keel most times is necessarily a bad thing. I'm not one that typically likes to show much emotion, or be melodramatic or rant over and over again or carry on and on and on about something excitedly.
I'll naturally react if a goal is scored by a yeah or some clapping or whatever in the heat of the moment, but move on then. I don't like carrying on unnecessarily (i.e. picture Buffalo's annoucer who goes on and on and on after goals, I forgot what his name is).
I like both Ken and Mickey. They get naturally excited or show frustration in the heat of the moment but leave it at that. They are un-biased. They don't carry on all that much with emotion or pointless stories, etc.

They're both biased. Daniels more so, he'll have an indignant tone to his voice whenever a supposed bad call or injustice happens. He likes to slip in things about the other team getting away with something all the time but generally doesn't call out the Wings. Mickey is a lot more level-headed and will criticize Wings players and weak calls against both teams.
Mickey tends to go off on tangents. His time with the Canadiens, wood vs. composite, etc.

Bowen used to games on TSN back when TSN did regional games for the Leafs, but that hasn't happened for 6-7 years. All Leafs games on TSN are national, which means it's either Gord Miller or Chris Cuthbert calling it.
Bowen has done games on both CBC and TSN.
Obviously it's quite a rare thing, but an FYI for ya. Maybe I should have just used stations they do normally? Dean Brown, for example as someone who I listed, almost never does CBC nor Versus, but I included those because I've seen him doing both.
Maybe Bowen did CBC broadcasts way back when, but he hasn't been on CBC in recent memory.

The moment I saw Doc Emrick ranked so low I disregarded the list. However...
Ken and (especially) Mickey are very, very biased announcers. I am a Red Wings fan and a Blues fan so I have a little bit more objectivity than most of you here. I prefer listening to games called by them seeing as how I cheer for the Wings and share their sentiments but if you don't acknowledge their blatant bias and homerism then you are either stupid or deaf.

Mickey is great, but getting too old for the job. It's my opinion that if you can't regularly travel with the team, maybe you shouldn't be a main announcer. I'm not saying fire him, but maybe he should be between periods doing review commentary.
Murphy is pretty horrid. He doesn't flow with Ken; always seems to be interrupting. His between period coverage is even worse. He sides with the ref's calls regardless if they are blatantly wrong or right (for either team). He doesn't fit the part of an announcer, and the constant jokes about him drinking and dollar hot dogs only support my opinion.
John Keating and Mickey York aren't the greatest, but they aren't hockey guys either. They're sports guys covering multiple teams. They could improve, but they aren't on enough to really bother me.

All color guys are somewhat biased, thats the point of a color guy. I don't think Mick is as crazy biased as some people claim though. I mean...he routinely calls out BS calls, like every game, when its the Wings going to the PP. You don't see too many other announcers doing that, they only complain about bad calls going against them.

This. All of this.
What I like about Ken, and Mickey is that there's no doubting their allegiance - however they're certainly not the foaming at the mouth homers that you'll find in a good number of play-by-play broadcast booths (take Boston, or Chicago for example).
On top of that they'll sing the praises, and scorn the opponent, and Red Wings alike; to me that shows their hockey acumen, and humility.

Consider applying for the Bellarmine University Accounting Early Entry Summer Scholarship Program. This is a selective program that was established in 1969 and is designed for students planning to select a major in the Rubel School of Business at Bellarmine University.

The tuition and fees for the courses ($5,100 in Summer 2016) will be covered by your scholarship!
ACCT 101 - Principles of Financial Accounting (3 credits) is designed for all business majors to present the essential core concepts of financial accounting and a complete overview of financial statement reporting.

And given the high competition level that these younglings bring, they could very well earn a spot on the starting lineup.

Please pray for my husband, Ryan and his family. Back in 2010 he returned home from Afghanistan, and has been somewhat struggling with different things. However, in April 2014, he lost his grandmother due to illness, then in April of 2015 his uncle suddenly passed away from a heart attack, and we suffered from a miscarriage in October 2015. My husband then lost two very close military buddies in November 2015 and January 2016. He has suffered from depression since January and as he was beginning to turn his life around, his mother suddenly passed away last Sunday to cardiac arrest. Please pray that his heart will be healed and that God will give comfort to him and his whole family. Thank you and God bless.

I am broken. My son who is 17 has moved out and is living with his grandmother, mostly because he and my husband (his step dad) don't get along. His dad is on drugs. He thought he would move and be closer to his dad and his little sisters. Then, once he left, his dad broke his heart. Too many details to go through. I feel like just giving up. He is an hour away. Responds to my calls and texts when he wants. He did not do well with school with this transition. He doesn't like any authority. I hate that he is distant. I hate that he is broken. He has no direction or path. We need prayer. My husband is very abrasive, loud (he doesn't know it or believe it), very hard to listen to because he is always right. We are broke, can't stay on top of the bills. I feel like just saying whatever, but I can't. I've been backsliding. I feel miserable. I want to be this great mom, great wife, but I feel lost in a depression, anxiety. I need prayer, we need prayer. I want us to get back on track.

The doctors say that she has a 2% chance of survival and that she will live about 6-9 more months. They cannot perform surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation because the tumor is all over her brain, and it will put her into a vegetative state or could kill her.

Who do you support for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2010?
Posted in the Ludowici Forum
#16628 Jun 27, 2013
Does this phrase sound familiar?
Al Gore: "Obama Climate Change Speech Best 'by Any President Ever."
Sounds like liberals here on topix patting each other on the back with their nonsense.
United States
#16629 Jun 27, 2013
Now that qualifies as the loser post of the day.
Liberals everywhere are expressing outrage about the illegal acts of both Bush and Obama;
When did you Right Wingers:
- demand Bush and Obama stop assassinating people;
- demand we close Gitmo;
- demand Bush and Obama be criminally prosecuted;
- demand we send the CIA agents indicted for crimes to be prosecuted; and
- donate to the ACLU which has sued repeatedly to defend the Constitution.
Oh ... Wait ... Never ... That's right.
But let gays get married and that Right Wing Wacko fixation on sex explodes to the surface - suddenly there's a crisis.
RWWs should just return to furtively taking care of their "urges", and leave addressing real problems to the grown ups.
After all, nothing says respect for the sanctity of marriage more than:
- Gingrich's banging his mistress while his wife deals with her cancer;
- Vitter banging his prostitutes hang taxpayers' money to pay the hookers;
- Craig on his knees in an airport bathroom providing service to his constituents;
- Schwartzenegger banging his housekeeper and hiding their secret "love child";
- Foley hitting on teenage pages assigned to work for him in Washington;
- Sanford banging his mistress in South America while pretending he was hiking the Appalachian Trail;
- Giuliani banging hookers using government equipment and people to help his get his hookers "online";
- Ensign banging his mistress, the wife of his "best friend", then using Hundreds of Thousands in contributions to pay off the cuckolded husband.
Please- while you RWWs support these guys for public office - explain to the rest of us all again how Right Wingers are the only people who care about marriage.
Hey... If Bob wants to marry Jim, and join the rest of us poor schmucks, God bless him.
It sure can't damage the institution if marriage more than these Right Wing Wacko buffoons.

They'd cut the War Department's budget in half; They'd legalize marijuana;
They'd increase taxes on us all to pay for these idiotic wars;
They'd re-instate limits on corporations bribing politicians;
They'd do away with all "Voter I.D." laws; They'd shut down Gitmo;
They'd repeal the UnPatriot Act; They'd terminate the secret FISA Courts;

Maybe Gonzales Won't Recall His Painful Day on the Hill
By Dana Milbank
Friday, April 20, 2007
...Gonzales had weeks to prepare for yesterday's hearing. But the man who sat at the witness table sounded like the sort of person who forgets where he parked his car.
Explaining his role in the botched firing of federal prosecutors, Gonzales uttered the phrase "I don't recall" and its variants ("I have no recollection," "I have no memory") 64 times. Along the way, his answer became so routine that a Marine in the crowd put down his poster protesting the Iraq war and replaced it with a running "I don't recall" tally.
Take Gonzales's tally along with that of his former chief of staff, who uttered the phrase "I don't remember" 122 times before the same committee three weeks ago, and the Justice Department might want to consider handing out Ginkgo biloba in the employee cafeteria.

You seem to know more about Episcopal churches than I. A couple that I am friends with have a gay son and they won't consider attending any other church, but Episcopal because of it. I attended a funeral with them and that particular church is VERY liberal. So perhaps it's a church by church thing, too.
I didn't think it was legal in GA, but it could be next. Atlanta has a HUGE gay community.

Typical Right Wing Wacko logic :
In his dissent in the DOMA case - Scalia whines that activists courts shouldn't overturn the laws enacted by the people's representatives.
Why, that would be substituting the Supremes own views for the people's will as expressed by their elected representatives.
Of course Scalia himself has voted dozens of times to overturn congressional and state laws, including the very same day he claimed to object to overturning the laws.
Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito - against judicial activism - except when they are for it.
Can anyone take RWW logic seriously ?

Who coulda imagined....
Here's how Darrell Issa manufactured the IRS 'scandal'
by Jed Lewison
On Monday, we learned that the IRS didn't single out tea party groups after all. Instead, they were looking for political groups, including not just tea party groups, but progressive groups as well. They may have used a flawed method for flagging the groups, but the IRS's intent was clear: to identify political groups that were not legally entitled to receive the tax-exempt benefit they sought to receive.
That pretty much brought the IRS "scandal" to a screeching halt. In the hours following the revelation, Darrell Issa's Twitter feed suddenly started spamming tweets about Benghazi. "Change the subject, quickly!" he seemed to be saying.
But there's still a question to be answered. If the IRS was targeting political groups from across the ideological spectrum, where did the original narrative about tea party targeting come from? The answer makes Darrell Issa and his fellow House Republicans look even worse than they did on Monday:
The Treasury inspector general (IG) whose report helped drive the IRS targeting controversy says it limited its examination to conservative groups because of a request from House Republicans.
A spokesman for Russell George, Treasurys inspector general for tax administration, said they were asked by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations.
Obviously, if Issa wanted a comprehensive investigation, he should have asked for a review of all politically oriented scrutiny. Instead, he asked for exclusive focus on tea party and conservative groups. Under the most charitable interpretation of this, it never occurred to Darrell Issa that anyone other than the tea party groups could have been targeted. If that's true, it suggests he just doesn't care about whether the IRS "targets" anyone other than his political allies.
But I think the most likely explanation here is that Issa was simply trying to cook up a scandal, even though it did nothing to address the genuine problems with the way campaign finance and tax laws are written. He probably figured that in the best case scenario, he'd be able to get away with his fraud. And in the worst case scenario, he'd get a slap on the wrist from a few reporters, but endless approval from his political supporters....

New Insight into the (Epi)Genetic Roots of Homosexuality
Sexual preference may not be written in our genes, but rather in how our genes are expressed
By Laura Blue Dec. 13, 2012
...Its not genetics. Its not DNA. Its not pieces of DNA. Its epigenetics, says Sergey Gavrilets, a NIMBioS researcher and an author on the paper that outlines the new theory of homosexuality, published in The Quarterly Review of Biology.The hypothesis we put forward is based on epigenetic marks, he says.
To be specific, the new theory suggests that homosexuality is caused by epigenetic marks, or epi-marks, related to sensitivity to hormones in the womb. These are compounds that sit on DNA and regulate how active, or inactive certain genes are, and also control when during development these genes are most prolific. Gavrilets and his colleagues believe that gene expression may regulate how a fetus responds to testosterone, the all-important male sex hormone. They further argue that epi-marks may help to buffer a female fetus from high levels of testosterone by suppressing receptors that respond to testosterone, for example,(thus ensuring normal fetal development even in the presence of a lot of testosterone) or to buffer a male fetus from low levels of testosterone by upregulating receptors that bind to the hormone (ensuring normal fetal development even in the absence of high levels of testosterone). Normally, these epi-marks are erased after they are activated, but if those marks are passed down to the next generation, the same epi-marks that protected a man in utero may cause oversensitivity to testosterone among his daughters, and the epi-marks that protected a woman in utero may lead to undersensitivity to testosterone among her sons.
...The new theory is important because it synthesizes well-tested and well-developed evolutionary principles with cutting-edge research in molecular biology and biological computation. Epigenetics is not a new concept exactly, but the field has exploded within the past decade. Where once it seemed that genes and environment were distinct, or that nature and nurture were distinct, now it seems clear that environment itself may change the ways in which our genes function even though the genes themselves are essentially fixed over time, barring occasional mutations, and conserved across generations.
For now, the work is still controversial. Gavrilets says he and his colleagues have been criticized both by conservatives, who werent happy with people searching for a biological basis to homosexuality, as well as by some in the gay and lesbian community, who feel they shouldnt require a scientific investigation to justify who they are.
Its been a controversial topic, Gavrilets says.There is a lot of misconception in the world about the topic of homosexuality. Still, he says,One of the roles of science is to clear up misconceptions, to explain different phenomena or different patterns.

The Episcopal Church derived from the Church of England.
In its modern form, the church dates from the English Reformation of the 16th century, when royal supremacy was established and the authority of the papacy was repudiated.
Thomas Cromwell was one of the strongest advocates of the English Reformation. He helped to engineer an annulment of the king's marriage to the Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon, in order to allow Henry to marry his mistress Anne Boleyn. After failure to obtain approval from the Pope, in 1534 parliament endorsed the king's claim to be head of a breakaway Church of England, and Cromwell supervised the new church from the unique posts of vicegerent in spirituals and vicar general.
During his rise, Cromwell made many enemies, especially among the conservative faction at court. He fell from power after arranging the king's marriage to a German princess, Anne of Cleves. Cromwell hoped that the marriage would breathe fresh life into the Reformation in England, but it turned into a disaster for Cromwell and ended in annulment just six months later. Cromwell was arraigned under a bill of attainder and executed for treason and heresy on Tower Hill on 28 July 1540. The king later expressed regret at the loss of his chief minister.
And like in the time of King Henry VIII,(all to satisfy his sexual urge for another woman), today the Episcopal Church,(all to satisfy the homosexual urges), declare support for Homosexual marriages.
Always dependent on government money to exist, it fell into hard times after The "American Revolution left the Anglican parishes shattered, stripped of most of their financial support, weakened by the flight of many clergy and thousands of members, with a number of buildings destroyed and property lost," wrote Powell Mills Dawley in Our Christian Heritage (Morehouse-Gorham, 1959).
After the American Revolution, support for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel was cut off, and public support of churches was withdrawn because of newly accepted principle of separation of church and state.
But in 2011, the Episcopal Church,(specifically the National Cathedral), is now back in high cotton, receiving federal tax dollars to continue in their excess of supporting sexual deviants.

Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have called on the public and members of the U.S. Senate to oppose the Gang of Eight immigration bill on the eve of its expected vote in the Senate.
The Schumer-Rubio-Corker-Hoeven proposal will make Americans less safe and it will ensure more illegal immigrationespecially visa overstaysin the future.

Looks like the report Obama wanted on gun violence has backfired on him a little. Looks like law abiding citizens with legal guns actually do save lives.
All joking aside, if you look at the facts as given in this report you will see how the hysteria over gun control truly is a product of media misinformation. I was stunned to see how disingenuously gun violence is reported. When gun control advocates throw out the numbers of gun deaths, they never tell you that those numbers include suicides, criminals killed by police or criminals killed by potential victims - they present the numbers as though all the people they talk about are innocent victims killed by criminals.
When Bloomberg went around on his little gun control tour where they read a list of "victims" of gun violence killed since Newtown, they included those same criminals - including the Boston Marathon bomber.
We can debate gun violence and gun control all you want, but at least be honest about it - oh, silly me - expecting the left to be honest and the mainstream media to be unbiased in their reporting.

07/20/2009 -
I came out to Seattle for my daggers wedding and stayed at the Days Inn next door to the restaurant on my last night. My parents from Nebraska dropped me off at my hotel after the wedding. It was a beautiful church wedding, a long and fun day and we thought we would have one "night cap" before saying goodbye. We went to the restaurant next door as referred by the hotel front desk.
When we got there the sign said open til 10:00 pm, and it was only shortly after 9:00 pm.
We were greeted in a very cold manner, told we could sit where we wanted and we explained we were just there to have a cocktail and were told she would get there when she could, but she was the only one there. We were reminded of this on several occasions.
I noticed one table of four in the dining area and one table of 3 people in the bar.
She finally came and took our drink order, we were very friendly, even though she was clearly not happy about having to take another table.
My parents each ordered a beer, and I had a mixed drink.
Shortly after, at a level which everyone was meant to hear, she announced she was way behind on her clean up work, hadn't mopped yet, and hadn't done whatever her closing chores were yet. How the owners had cut everyone's hours back, yet she was so busy. This was at 9:30 pm. She NEVER came back and checked on our table, went and mopped, BS'd with someone in the lobby for a long time, etc. When she finally came back, 20 or so minutes later to give last call, we were tired of waiting for another cocktail and were getting ready to leave. I told her that had she come back to check on us, I certainly would have ordered, but too much time had gone by. Then, as another guest arrived, she announced once again about how she was there alone and she could handle it just fine, but "sometimes, she gets rude people that get impatient" or something to that extent. I then remarked in her same level of voice that we were never rude, but she never came back and even asked how we were doing. She also told me my drink was full the last tie she came by our table (which about 5 minutes after we were served).
She walked us to the door, trying to not be snotty, saying too bad we felt that way, but .. excuse, excuse , excuse. I told her I was no stranger to waiting tables and her job was to serve her customers. The place had potential, but staffing is something the owner should be aware of. It was a very unpleasant experience. I was shocked in the way we were treated.

- 2Quechua and Shuar are also official intercultural languages.
Spanish is Ecuador's official language of business and government, although there are dialectal differences between Sierra and Costa Spanish; Sierra Spanish has been influenced by Quichua. Quichua and Shuar (both of which are official intercultural languages) as well as other ancestral languages are spoken by the country's indigenous people. More than 10 Indian languages exist in Ecuador, and several of these will likely persist as mother tongues. Most Indian males are bilingual, and women are increasingly becoming bilingual as well. The concepts of bilingualism and bilingual or bicultural education are becoming increasingly important.
Ecuador is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. The Roman Catholic Church plays a significant role in education and social services and influences the selection of significant places for festivals and pilgrimage sites, such as Quinche in the north and Biblián in the south. Protestantism continues to grow rapidly, particularly among the disadvantaged; the largest groups are the non-Pentecostal Evangelicals and the Pentecostals. There is also a sizable Mormon congregation. Quito, Ambato, and Guayaquil have been urban centres of Protestant activity, and many of the Indians of the Sierra and Oriente have also converted. Many highlanders are practicing Catholics, and religion plays an important part in daily life. In Carchi, Azuay, and Loja provinces in the Sierra and in Manabí province in the Costa, there has been more reluctance to accept Protestant conversion. A small Jewish population is concentrated in Quito, and there are also some Bahāʿī adherents.
Settlement patterns
In prehistoric times, settlement was widely dispersed throughout the coastal river valleys, highland basins, and Amazon riversides. Diseases brought by Europeans in the 16th century decimated indigenous populations on the coast. By late colonial and early modern times, most people lived in the rural Sierra. By the late 20th century the growth pattern had again changed, and the majority of the population shifted to the lowland regions, especially the Costa, with a tendency to concentrate in the cities.
Parts of the coast were colonized by mid-20th-century mestizo pioneers, especially the area to the west and northwest of Quito around Santo Domingo de los Colorados; isolated Indian populations have gradually been reduced to minority status. A similar process has been occurring in the northern part of the Oriente, with oil fields and new highways allowing highland mestizos and highland Indians to move into areas settled by Amazonian Indian groups.
In the highlands, traditional Indian and mestizo villages, hamlets, and scattered farmsteads are associated with a checkerboard pattern of small agricultural plots of corn (maize), potatoes, barley, wheat, broad beans, kidney beans, and domesticated lupine, alternating with fields temporarily lying fallow and used for grazing. Sheep are grazed on fallow land and higher-elevation pastures. Prior to the 1960s, small-scale farmers lived in a dependent relationship with large-scale haciendas, which controlled the best flat land and high pastures. Since the 1960s, land reform and economic changes have resulted in the subdivision of haciendas into more profitable medium-sized commercial farms producing dairy products, new potato varieties, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Highland villages and towns were usually built on the Spanish colonial grid plan, which was centred on one or more squares distinguished by church and government buildings.
By the beginning of the 21st century, more than three-fifths of the Ecuadoran population had become urban dwellers, with most living in the two major cities, Guayaquil and Quito. Guayaquil is the largest city, the major port and commercial centre, and also the cultural centre of the Costa. Quito, apart from its governmental activities, has become an important regional headquarters for international organizations working in the Andes and has attracted a substantial tourist trade. Other cities are much smaller, but Esmeraldas, Manta, Portoviejo, and Machala are important coastal agricultural and trade centres, and Ambato and Cuenca are the largest and most dynamic highland trade centres outside of Quito.
Demographic trends
Ecuador, like other Andean countries, has experienced a population increase, the result of a decreasing death rate and a continued high birth rate. Though the birth rate has fallen since the end of the 1990s, it is still slightly higher than the world average. This growth has resulted in a relatively young population. Ecuador has also attracted immigrants from neighbouring countries, mostly from Colombia and Peru, since the beginning of the 21st century. The largest group of immigrants consists of displaced Colombians, victims of escalated violence and crop-destroying sprays in their country. Thousands of Peruvians, the next largest immigrant group, arrived seeking better wages after Ecuador adopted the U.S. dollar as its national currency in 2000. A small number of Chinese and East Asians have immigrated to Ecuador as well. Significant numbers of Ecuadorans have emigrated to the United States, especially to the borough of Queens in New York City.
Remittances from migrants provide important support for family members left behind. Rural northern highlanders tend to migrate to Quito, seeking opportunities for income not available in the countryside. The rural coastal people, on the other hand, have generally migrated to Guayaquil, and southern highlanders have migrated to the southeastern and northeastern Oriente and to the north-central Costa, as well as to Cuenca, Quito, and Guayaquil. In areas where people can generate a more substantial cash income, migration has been slower.
Ecuador is a country of enormous economic potential. Development has focused on agricultural, marine, and mineral resources, with industry playing a more limited role. The subsequent production of primary goods has been subject to cycles of boom and bust, however, and Ecuador has sought to diversify its resource exports and to seek new markets. The country has improved standards of living, but it is still characterized by marked inequalities of wealth and well-being.

Balancing economic freedom against social policy principles: EC competition law and national health systems
EU Health policy exemplifies the philosophical tension between EC economic freedoms and social policy. EC competition law, like other internal market rules, could restrict national health policy options despite the subsidiarity principle. In particular, European health system reforms that incorporate elements of market competition may trigger the application of competition rules if non-economic gains in consumer welfare are not adequately accounted for. This article defines the policy and legal parameters of the debate between competition law and health policy. Using a sample of cases it analyses how the ECJ, national courts, and National Competition Authorities have applied competition laws to the health services sector in different circumstances and in different ways. It concludes by considering the implications of the convergence of recent trends in competition law enforcement and health system market reforms.

Its current owner states that the 51,000-mile car has never been repainted and confirms that its interior is ... Read more
Chrysler's wood-trimmed Town & Country models remain popular among collectors, and their relative rarity means that prices for finished cars remain high. This 1950 Chrysler Newport Town & Country for sale on Hemmings.com remains a work in progress from a restoration initiated in 2006, ... Read more
All photos courtesy Chad Hiltz. When we last left Chad Hiltz and his Green Goblin cab-forward custom 1962 Chrysler Newport, it wore a coat of primer, but Chad had yet to iron out a number of details – like exactly how the door would hinge up, the paint, and whether he would make it to the Bos ...

All photos courtesy Chad Hiltz. Chad Hiltz describes himself as "just some mojo" who lives up in Canning, Nova Scotia, a town of a few thousand people that seems to be no closer geographically or culturally than East Erewhon to the hot rod and custom Mecca of Southern California. But Ch ... Read more
For all the flaws of this 1964 Chrysler Newport for sale on Hemmings.com that the owner points out, it remains in rather decent shape for a 50-year-old car from the Northeast. After all, it's running and driving, the rust appears to have been contained, and the odometer appears not to have fl ... Read more
We're not going to go out on a limb and say that mid-1960s four-door American sedans are going to become the next hot thing, but we have noticed many of them not only coming up for sale, but also getting back out on the highway and spreading smiles lately. This 1966 Chrysler Newport four-door ... Read more
Photos by Darin Schnabel, courtesy RM Auctions. Third time's the charm? It's one of the most noteworthy cars to make multiple trips across the auction block in recent years, but the question still remains: What is the restored 1941 Chrysler Newport dual-cowl phaeton that paced the India ...

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 29, 2012.
This project documents the work of Corrado Parducci whose work graced almost every building during the 1920's building boom.
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 29, 2012.
I've been researching and lecturing on Parducci's work since 2009, and I am always asked where people can go to learn more. Unfortunately, I reluctantly answer that there aren't any resources available, which is one of the reasons I am producing this film. The second reason is that I feel that Parducci's work deserves to be recognized.
With close to 600 commissions in his job book, Parducci's work is still almost unknown. He came to Detroit in 1924 at the urging of Albert Kahn - one of Detroit's most prolific architects – with the intent to only stay for two months. Fortunately for Detroit, he ended up staying for the rest of his life and left his fingerprints on countless commercial buildings, private homes, churches and schools.
Your contribution to this project is so very important to not only create a resource in current times, but also to pass the information along to the next generation. Film maker Jack P. Johnson has created a very short introduction which I use for my lectures and can be found here:
The contributed funds will be used for travel and expenses relating to research and obtaining artifacts used for the documentary. (The cost of having copies from original photos or purchasing scans adds up quite quickly.) Thank you for your interest in this project! We could not produce this documentary without your support.
Sincerely, Jennifer Baross and Jack P. Johnson
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

When we lived in Gallup, N.M., the Animal Control Unit there investigated ways to reduce or eliminate the euthanasia practice at their facility.
After some research, they found that Denver actually had a shortage of dogs and cats for adoption.
The city then established a fundraiser to buy trailers to transport their animals to Denver.
As a result, Gallup wound up with a "no-kill" facility, and everybody was happy.
Maybe Amarillo should investigate something like this. It surely would be better than the horrid program they now run.
