Update 2015: I'm not at all sure who made this guitar. It has elements of the Chicago "big three" builds (Kay, Harmony, Regal) but is built a lot thinner and lighter than any of them and has "off" features. It's peculiar, that's for sure.
This is a very odd tenor guitar and the only one I've seen like it. It's obviously Chicago-made, bears the PMICo ("Progressive Musical Instrument Company") decal at the headstock, and is essentially a ladder-braced, featherweight version of a Martin 0-17T from around the same time this was built (probably c.1935-40).
This is a very odd tenor guitar and the only one I've seen like it. It's obviously Chicago-made, bears the PMICo ("Progressive Musical Instrument Company") decal at the headstock, and is essentially a ladder-braced, featherweight version of a Martin 0-17T from around the same time this was built (probably c.1935-40).
I'm pretty sure this was made by Kay for PMICo, just like this little soprano uke, for a number of reasons: the pickguard, scale length (a long 23 1/4" -- Kay favored scales longer than anyone else was using), the exact binding type and shape as used on most other 30s Kay-made guitars, and the very "Kay" end-pin type, which one can see on tons of the old Kay-made Hawaiian-themed guitars, but really not any other Chicago types from a similar time. The mahogany is also extremely similar to the general, plain-Jane stuff Kay was using on their own-brand builds at the same time and the finish is that dull, satin-y stuff (minus grain filler) they were using as well.
At any rate, my work included a bridge shave/new fret saddle, fret level/dress, new geared tuners, lots of cleaning (this had spray-paint white dots here and there and everywhere that needed scrubbing-off), and setup.
This guitar's build is incredibly light. I think this would actually make an incredible "long scale" baritone ukulele, strung with nylon/nylgut, since the top is so thin you can push it in and flex it wherever you want with a push of the finger. Amazingly, there are zero cracks!
That said, I have it strung with very light gauges for typical "Chicago" DGBE tuning -- 30w, 22w, 14, 10 -- and I wouldn't go any heavier. This is featherweight and feather-braced.
The bonus, though? The sound is huge, lush, warm, sweet, and very big. It sounds like a million bucks!
"Nobility" PMICo label. Check out the fun "shield" headstock. Original ebony nut. I've replaced the (previous) friction tuners with Kluson repro tuners. Originally, however, this had geared banjo pegs (Planetary pegs) like on higher-end banjos and Martin tenor guitars from the same time.
Dyed rosewood fretboard. Dots are celluloid. Frets are in good shape with plenty of height after dressing.
Bound top and soundhole. The pickguard is a cool, celluloid-tortoise, Martin-shaped type.
Pearl dots in original pins. New fret saddle. The original bone saddle didn't survive removal since it was glued in and fragile to begin with.
The action is 3/32" at the 12th bass & treble, which isn't 100% perfect (I like to get 1/16" on tenor guitars), but is still totally quick and fast, especially since it has extra-light strings "stock." There's a tiny, tiny bit of relief in the neck (about 1/64"), which is why it's not 1/16" on the dot on the treble.
The lower bout is 13 3/4" wide, making this guitar a little bigger than a Martin 0-17T or similar.
Nice mahogany back with thin center-strip of dyed-black wood.
New repro Kluson tuners making tuning a breeze.
Heel is good and sturdy.
Pearl-dot endpin, too.

MEN'S NEWS ...Indiana is in trouble. The Hoosiers, who have never had a losing season in their previous 36 seasons as a varsity sport, have fallen to .500 and out of the Soccer America Men's Top 25. Three consecutive losses -- all shutouts -- have left Indiana at 7-7-1 and in danger of missing out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1986.
After last Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Louisville, Indiana coach Mike Freitag said his team didn't show up. Not for the first time, he blasted his players' lackluster play. The Hoosiers played better at Northwestern on Sunday, outshooting the Wildcats, 8-2, in the first half, but they came out flat after halftime and lost the key Big Ten match, 2-0. "This is a very difficult loss," said Freitag. "It is indicative of the season at this point and time. For whatever reason, we have not come together as a team and we have very little time left to do that."
IU has only three regular-season games left, all at home, beginning with a match against long-time rival Evansville in Bloomington. The Aces (10-5-1) have lost the last seven games in the series with IU that was resumed two years ago, but they are having a strong season. After that, IU closes out Big Ten play with matches against Ohio State and No. 25 Penn State, both tough teams. Then comes the Big Ten, which will be held in Bloomington Nov. 12-15.
To be considered for the NCAA Tournament, Indiana will need a record of .500 for better. If it finishes around .500, it should get in. It's played one of the strongest schedules in the country. Six of its losses have been to teams ranked in this week's top 13 -- No. 1 Akron, No. 2 Wake Forest, No. 7 UC Santa Barbara, No. 9 Louisville, No. 10 Northwestern and No. 13 Butler.
* CROWD COUNT.UC Santa Barbara is on course to break the modern-day men's soccer attendance record. The Gauchos are averaging 4,836 fans a game and should top the NCAA record of 3,629 fans a game set by New Mexico in 2005. The unofficial record is held by Connecticut, which averaged 4,297 fans a game in 1982. UCSB has led the nation in average attendance the last two years.

If Phil follows through with the city folks, this will be a fun place to visit & listen to the music play
according to Rolling Stone
I watched Pearl Jam : Live at the Garden, '03 last night, after the final song the band was a little freaked ' cause the crowd was going so wild that the stage was moving around. Eddie came out for the encores and said what they felt and a stage manager told him that that had only happened 3 times before: For the Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden, and Bruce Springsteen.
I saw that too shaggy. Along with the many "Lebowski" qutoes I hear from Neil, I think we are indeed - EVERYWHERE! Hahahaha!
Any Sportscenter/Chicago Bulls fans out there? Last night on Sportscenter, one of the anchors quoted several lines of "Ramble On Rose" while showing a bunch of Derrick Rose highlights.
Wait, he did not quote, he sang several lines of "Ramble On Rose"- "Did you say your name was...?" on through the end of that short little stanza.
A beautiful ESPN moment.
thanks for the link!

Description of Research Expertise
Dr. Christie's career is focused on translational research studies of the risks, pathogenesis, treatment, and outcomes of acute lung injury in the transplant and non-transplant human populations. His research integrates new knowledge generated from bench studies with epidemiology approaches in well-phenotyped, large human populations to generate new definitions of human syndromes, improved diagnostics and prognostics, and targeted therapy approaches in advanced lung diseases and critical illness.
Dr. Christie is the founder of the lung transplant outcomes group (LTOG), which is a multicentered cohort study the etiology and pathogenesis of acute lung injury following lung transplantation (termed primary graft dysfunction). Active LTOG research themes focus on the mechanisms of clinical factors that elevate PGD risk, including donor smoke exposure, recipient obesity and body composition, pulmonary hypertension, alterations in lung microbiome, and autoimmunity to lung collagens. His multidisciplinary lung transplant research focuses on genetics, innate immunity, regulatory T-cells, innate lymphoid cell (ILC) populations in the lung, ischemia reperfusion injury, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

Tag team wrestling has a long and storied history in the WWE, dating back to when Luke Graham and Tarzan Tyler were crowned the first-ever World Tag Team Champions on June 3, 1971.
The titles would remain active for nearly 40 years, until the World Tag Team Championship was quietly retired in August 2010 and merged with the WWE Tag Team Championship, originally introduced in October 2002 as Smackdown's exclusive doubles title during the brand extension.
Tag team wrestling has always evolved with the times; in the 1980's the likes of the Hart Foundation and The British Bulldogs gave us technical masterclasses in teamwork, the 1990's saw a more entertaining form of tag team wrestling ushered in by teams like The New Age Outlaws and The Rock and Sock Connection, and the 2000's gave us the groundbreaking stunt matches featuring Edge and Christian, The Hardys and The Dudleys.
In recent years, the division was neglected to the point of obscurity before a surprising renaissance led by the hugely-entertaining Team Hell No.
Thinking of all the great champions to hold tag team gold in the WWE inevitably got me thinking about some of the terrible duos that captured the belts, and that serves as the basis of this article.
My recent article on the WWE's worst-ever world champions generated a lot of debate (and more than a little criticism!) in the comments section and I feel that this subject is just as interesting. So read on to find out who, in my opinion, are the worst tag team champions in WWE history!

Response to What It's Like Being Jewish During Christmas:
Thank you! As a Christian I have never had a reason to find anything negative toward Jews or any people who honor other religions. My entire Polish Catholic family in Poland was killed in Auschwitz, except for my great uncle who had the unpleasant experience of Dr Mengele performing vivisection on my uncle's arms WITHOUT ANESTHESIA or any sort of pain control! He survived the death camp but always had extreme spasms in his arms from that bastard's experiment.
Response to What It's Like Being Jewish During Christmas:
I really don't care what non-Christians (AND Christians) think about Christmas. Celebrate it or don't.
Do YOUR thing, if you even want to make it some sort of a Holiday.
All I care about is that everyone enjoys their lives and finds a time during the year to celebrate being alive and if they have a religion that they find time to celebrate that, then that's cool, too!
Happy whatever holiday you want to celebrate, Everyone!!!!

It's OK to say the word now.
And, oh, how we've waited for this one.
The only other time the Phillies won a World Series, in 1980, fans threw boxloads of computer punch cards and shredded paper from office windows onto Broad Street.
Today, you're more likely to see water-soluble, eco-friendly confetti flying around.
Police expect more than a million people to converge on Center City to watch the Phillies take their noontime victory ride on flatbed trucks from 20th and Market Streets, around City Hall, and down Broad Street to Citizens Bank Park.
An hour-long rally at the ballpark, expected to begin at 1:45 p.m., will be telecast live to fans across the street at Lincoln Financial Field. Gates at both stadiums will open at 10 a.m., but only fans with tickets will be allowed in. The free tickets were snapped up within an hour of becoming available on the Phillies' Web site yesterday.

Yesterday I began my response to James Fallows's Atlantic cover story, "The Tragedy of the American Military." His thesis is rather simple: The military — riding its astounding popularity — escapes "serious external scrutiny," and consequently the military not only suffers ...
Constant Exposure to Violence Understandably and Necessarily Breeds Aggression
While I fully understand there are bad cops — and there are good cops who make bad mistakes — the Left's recent wave of anti-cop sentiment is not only disgusting, it's dehumanizing. Essentially, the Left places an inhuman burden of ...
No, The 1967 Borders Won't Be Enough for the Palestinians
One of the more ridiculous aspects of the decades-long Middle East "peace process" is the belief that the so-called 1967 borders between Israel and Arab-held territory represent the foundation for a lasting piece. It's never been true, it's not ...
Three Points About the 'Torture Report' and Morality
When I speak about enhanced interrogation — or indeed virtually all of our controversial tactics in the war on terror, including the drone program — I tend to begin with three moral propositions. First, it is immoral to establish legal doctrines that ...
Academic Freedom Under Fire at Kansas: Will the AAUP Be Consistent?
When it comes to threatening core liberty interests, activists can be nothing if not industrious — sometimes using even well-intentioned laws as sledgehammers against disfavored views and disfavored speakers. Witness the emerging use of state open-records laws to harass dissenting professors. ...
So, How Much Fact-Checking Did Rolling Stone Do?
Building on Rich's post below, the Washington Post story outlining the fraternity's rebuttal and the Rolling Stone story's collapse is stunning. First, it turns out there was no fraternity party on the date in question: Officials close ...

No, Neither Obamacare Nor President Obama's Immigration Actions Are Inevitably Permanent
Over the past six years, I've encountered quite a bit of conservative despair over the notion that President Obama's signature domestic initiatives — Obamacare and, now, his apparently mass-scale immigration action — are inevitably permanent. In other words — to use ...
Taking on Anti-Israel Discrimination, Again
Next week the University of California student-workers union, UAW 2865 (yes, it's affiliated with United Auto Workers), will vote on its Joint Council's motion to boycott, divest, and sanction Israeli institutions. This motion is absurd on its face, but ...
Immigration, Executive Imperialism, and the Myth Of Gridlock
If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times — divided government means "gridlock." With Congress in the hands of one party and the presidency in the hands of the other, nothing gets done. In fact, there'...
Dear Democrats, Don't Even Think about Running from Jonathan Gruber
Ian Tuttle has a nice piece up over on the homepage about the Democrats' many efforts to distance themselves from Jonathan "stupidity of the American voter" Gruber. He used to be known as the "architect" of Obamacare and now, according ...
A Brief Veterans Day Reflection
Though my own military service is winding down (I transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve earlier this year), I'm still a veteran. That's a part of my identity now, and it will be for the rest of my ...
When Thugs and Liars Lose
When faced with corruption and deception, it's easy to lose hope. I confess that after seeing the lengths that some Democrats and leftists will go to to secure their hold on power, I've sometimes had a tendency to ...
The Polls Were Really, Really Off
Check out these two tables, both courtesy FiveThirtyEight's fascinating live blog. First, check out the Democratic bias in the senate polling: Next, here are the gubernatorial numbers: That's a striking contrast between predictions and reality. As they say ...
Jihadists Psychologically Dominate the Battlefield
Everyone who's spent five minutes in the Middle East knew — or should have known – this was going to happen: The Obama administration's Syria strategy suffered a major setback Sunday after fighters linked to al-Qaeda routed U.S.-backed ...
The IRS Is Hiding Its Communications with a Democratic Senator
Yesterday, my colleagues and I at the ACLJ filed a new lawsuit against the IRS in federal court in New Hampshire. The facts of the case are simple: On June 18, 2014, Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire submitted a FOIA request ...
Is the Abortion Industry about to Lose its Southern Stronghold?
As I've written about before, the supreme court of Tennessee has imposed on this pro-life state (I live in Columbia, Tenn.) an abortion-on-demand regime that exceeds the requirements of federal law and has turned the state into a virtual ...

The Absurd Reason Why an Idaho City Claims Pastors Must Perform Same-Sex Marriage Ceremonies
What is this absurd reason? They're running a business. If pastors are operating a "for-profit" wedding chapel, then they must officiate at gay weddings regardless of their religious objections. Thus, to the city attorney of Coeur d'Alene, these ...
Bigoted American Studies Assocation Reverses Course on Israel Boycott
Last week I reported that my colleagues and I at the American Center for Law and Justice wrote to the Westin Bonaventure hotel, warning it that enforcing the American Studies Association's boycott of Israeli scholars would violate California's ...
The Vindication of Christian Sexual Ethics
Over at The Weekly Standard, Heather Mac Donald has penned an outstanding cover story chronicling the ongoing collapse of sexual-revolution values on college campuses. It turns out that sexual "liberation" has not led to sexual fulfillment, but instead to a ...
A Good Week for Jihadists
It's only Tuesday, and it's already been a very good week for the Middle East's jihadists. First, despite America's periodic air attacks, the Islamic State has not only taken half of Kobani, the Kurdish town on ...
Is President Obama Serious About the Air War Against ISIS?
It's becoming increasingly clear that President Obama has no intention to actually "destroy" the Islamic State. Even his much-vaunted air war represents a mere shadow of American military capabilities. Here's Max Boot in a must-read post over at ...
Every ISIS Victory Will Be Perceived as an American Defeat
I truly hope that Rich Lowry's military source is correct and the situation is stabilizing at Kobani (we'll know soon enough), but let's clear up one misconception right away — contrary to "senior administration officials," the fall of ...
Still Too Big to Fail?
Wait, There's a Problem with Christian Medical Missionaries?
Let me begin by confessing my biases right away. Kent Brantly — the American missionary who contracted Ebola while treating patients in Liberia — isn't just one of my heroes, he's also (distantly) family. He's my uncle's nephew. ...
U.N. Security Council to Consider Resolution to Remove Jews from Key Parts of the Holy Land?
From Fox News: The Palestinians are pushing a United Nations resolution that makes stiff demands against Israel and could put the Obama administration in a difficult position should it come to a vote. The draft resolution, which was given to ...
The New York Times Publishes an Ignorant, Condescending Anti-Christian Op-ed
Academic leftists are so used to talking to themselves (and their under-educated students), that they long ago passed the point of even realizing their own ignorance. They delight in their own arguments and their ability to make students "shift uncomfortably ...
China's Great Lie
Communists aren't social emancipators.
Football, the Destruction of the Body, and the Building of the Spirit

Ninth Circuit Guts Student Free Speech, Upholds 'Heckler's Veto' of the American Flag

Libertarian Hawks

Libertarians against ISIS
Time to drop the label "isolationist."
President Obama's Real Promise—It's Not to Destroy ISIS
At least President Obama didn't mention "managing" the Islamic State. At least he said, "We will degrade, and ultimately destroy" the Islamic State. But let's be clear. That's not his real promise. His real promise was not ...
Truett Cathy, Rest in Peace
One of America's great entrepreneurs and philanthropists died today. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A passed away, "peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones." He was 93 years old. I love reading the stories of the founding of great companies, with ...
Painting the Town Blue
How Should Christians Expect Our Nation to Respond to ISIS? With Wrath and Vengeance
Even in the face of jihadist horror, it's surprising how many Christians are deeply confused about issues of war and peace, with the root of the confusion embedded in the distinction between personal and governmental responsibilities. Admonitions to turn ...
Did the U.N. Commit War Crimes in Gaza?
Yesterday I urged conservatives to challenge jihadists and their enablers in international tribunals, including the U.N. Our ACLJ international affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice, sent a letter to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights ...
No, I'm Not Sorry for Supporting the Invasion of Iraq
As Syria burns, as casualty rates soar to levels not seen in the Middle East since the Iran–Iraq War, and as a Ba'athist dictator clings to power in part by the use of chemical weapons, it simply boggles ...
'When People Have the Freedom to Choose, They Choose Wrong:' Watching The Giver
Thanks to my wife's work with Walden Media, I've had a chance to get a sneak peek at Walden's new movie, the The Giver (opening Friday), based on Lois Lowry's book of the same name. The ...
Why Do Liberals Have Trouble Understanding the Pure Evil of Jihad?
When I came home from Iraq in 2008, friends frequently asked me what I learned "most" from the experience. That's a tough question to answer, and it depends greatly on context. I learned many things about my faith, my family, ...
The Evil Sentimentality of the Pro-Hamas Left
Rarely has civilian death been so propagandized by so many of our fellow Americans. Oh, now, I know they'll protest this characterization. They hate — just hate — the horrific loss of life in Gaza. They hate it so much that ...
Dear Liberal Nerds: There's a Difference Between Intelligence and Wisdom
I thoroughly enjoyed Charles C.W. Cooke's piece today about liberal nerd-worship. This part is spot-on: The pose is, of course, little more than a ruse — our professional "nerds" being, like Mrs. Doubtfire, stereotypical facsimiles of the real thing. ...
No, This Is the Worst Anti-Gun Column Ever
I'm sorry, Mr. Cooke, but you must not read Salon enough. Here is the always-entertaining Heather Digby Parton going for a twofer, taking on "gun nuts" and conservatives at the same time. She's quite upset at open-carry activists ...
Pressuring Putin
Hamas Bears the Moral and Legal Responsibility for Every Dead Palestinian Child
There are few things more horrible than seeing innocents die a violent death. Yet that's exactly what a hotel full of foreign journalists witnessed on July 16, when Israeli shells apparently killed four Palestinian kids playing on a Gaza beach. ...
A Conservative Professor's Long Quest for Justice Ends in Victory
In March I reported on Professor Mike Adams's victory for academic freedom in his jury trial against the University of North Carolina–Wilmington. UNCW officials had rejected Dr. Adams's promotion application in a process rife with irregularity and ...
Responding to The Atlantic: Does Our Military Escape Scrutiny?
Over at The Atlantic, James Fallows has written a long, thoughtful cover story called "The Tragedy of the American Military," taking our nation, our political leaders, and our military to task for creating a bloated, ultimately ineffective fighting force that ...
How Brave Are We, Really?
I've found the entire Interview cancelation fiasco deeply disturbing. It's one story if Sony faced a vague threat and canceled the movie in a panic, a cancellation that would also have the collateral effect of perhaps appeasing the ...
How to Teach 'Distraught' Leftist Law Students
There really is nothing new under the sun. The Ferguson traffic-jam protests are the romper-room version of the 1992 Rodney King riots. The Rolling Stone rape story was the junior-varsity version of the 1991 Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill confrontation — at least when ...
The Democrats' 'Torture Report' Is a Dangerous, Partisan Mess
To read the some of the more liberal quarters of the Internet today — from the New York Times, to Andrew Sullivan's blog, to The Nation, and beyond — you would think that the United States is now a virtual criminal ...
Academic Boycotters of Israel Can't Hide from Their Unlawful Discrimination
Yesterday, the University of California's student-worker union (UAW Local 2865) voted on whether to join to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. While we don't yet know the results of the vote, we do know that ...
Campus Sexual Assault and the High Cost of Deceptive Story-Telling
At this point, it's safe to say that the veracity of the horrifying rape story that begins Rolling Stone's report on the University of Virginia is in dispute. The reporter indisputably failed to follow best practices by not ...
The Wheels Are Coming Off the Sexual Revolution
And the breakdown is most evident on college campuses. The only thing that's truly clear about the raging sexual-assault controversy on campus is that it's a royal mess. Given new life (as if it needed new life) by ...
Don't Let FiveThirtyEight's Misleading Statistics Fan Ferguson Outrage
Last night Ben Casselman, FiveThirtyEight's chief economics writer, published a post showing how "incredibly rare" it is for grand juries to refuse to indict. The post was soon dominating the left side of my Twitter feed, presented as evidence ...
Chuck Hagel Failed His Impossible Job
I would say that I pity Chuck Hagel. After all, here was his mandate: Maintain America's strategic position while shrinking American military power and amplifying the Obama administration's desires for global disengagement. It turns out that the SecDef ...
Modern Feminism: Appalling Stupidity Backed by Hysterical Rage
Modern feminism is getting embarrassing. There's a reason why so few women identify as feminists: It's less a true "women's movement" than the public face of hysterical leftist intolerance — combined, of course, with utterly bizarre (and bizarrely ...
How Bad Is Obamacare? Remember the Context For Gruber's Deceptions
As now the third video emerges of "Obamacare architect" Jonathan Gruber "insulting voters," it's important that we remember the context for Obamacare's lies, spins, evasions, and deliberate obfuscation. Obamacare was so expansive, so unpopular, and so outside the ...
Incompetence Is Their Only Defense: Understanding the Latest Obamacare SCOTUS Case
It's safe to say that the Supreme Court shocked much of official Washington on Friday when it agreed to hear King v. Burwell. In King, the plaintiffs challenged the IRS's decision to provide tax-credit subsidies to individuals who ...

The Embarassing, Sophomoric Malice of Obama-Administration Foreign Policy
So, a "senior Obama administration official" called the prime minister of Israel — our closest ally in the Middle East and one of the few nations in the region that is not (a) imploding or (b) actively funding or supporting terrorists — "...
What the Vile Treatment of Bristol Palin Teaches Us (Once Again)
Let me begin by plainly stating my biases. I like and admire the Palins. My wife has worked with Bristol for years (she edits the Patheos Faith and Family Channel, where Bristol blogs), she collaborated with Sarah on her most ...
Top U.S. Aid Recipient Is Set to Hang a Christian Woman for Blasphemy
Pakistan is a perennial recipient of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. It's an occasional ally/frequent enemy, sometimes actively conspiring against U.S. interests, sometimes actually firing on U.S. troops (incidents so notorious they now have their ...
City of Houston Attacks Pastors, then Doubles Down
The story sounds like something you'd read on a crazed e-mail forward — the city of Houston demands to see the contents of pastors' sermons on the topic of homosexuality, gender identity, and . . . restroom access. In fact, when I first ...
Moola for Mexican Meddling
The feds give out over $1 million to help Mexico enforce anti-discrimination laws.
Left-Wing Anti-Semitism Has Consequences
It is, at this point, beyond obvious that quarters of the hard-left academic world are overrun with anti-Semitism disguised as anger at alleged Israeli mistreatment of the terrorist-governed citizens of Gaza. Israeli citizens and soldiers stubbornly refuse to be killed ...
President Obama's 'Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, War"
Sometimes, Jon Stewart nails it. If the president declares the Islamic State a threat that must be destroyed, then allows his own administration officials to say that a city falling to the Islamic State on the border of a NATO ...
Campuses Keep Coming Up with More Reasons to Censor Christians
The brazen intellectual bankruptcy of campus censorship never fails to impress. Yesterday, the Chronicle of Higher Education was the latest prestige publication to cover the California State University system's mass-scale de-recognition of so-called "exclusionary" Christian groups. And how, pray ...
The Hole in Our Hearts and the Fury in Our Politics
Several days ago David Brooks delivered an interesting and provocative speech to "The Gathering" (which is, roughly speaking, a community of Christian philanthropists). In the course of addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the Christian witness in an increasingly secular ...
When Lefty Comedians Mock What They Don't Understand
Let me begin with a confession. I watch (and laugh at) way too much liberal political humor. I can't help it. I think Jon Stewart is funny, and as funny as he is, I think John Oliver is funnier. ...
Apologize to Israel, Mr. President
This summer, as Hamas was raining rockets on Israeli civilians, storing munitions in civilian buildings, and firing rockets from mosques, schools, and clinics, the Obama administration had the audacity to say that it was "appalled" by Israeli attacks that unintentionally ...
Idealism Kills
Bush, Obama, and the Middle East.
Enough Idealism
As the president who pledged to end two wars restarts our fight in Iraq (and perhaps expands it into Syria), it's worth reflecting on one of the cardinal lessons of our 13 years of post-9/11 conflict against jihad: Idealism kills. ...
A Glimmer of Hope
Common sense may prevail in Shaneen Allen's case.
Meriam Ibrahim: Courage that Should Inspire Us All
I just now had a chance to watch Meriam Ibrahim's interview with Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night. What an astonishing statement of faith and courage — with not just her life, but her kids' lives on the line, she refused ...
Run Bobby Run!
Did We Learn Anything from Libya? To Take Obama's Syria Strategy, No
We can't delegate our warfighting to jihadists. The New York Times piece that Rich Lowry links to below makes for singularly depressing reading, and it illustrates that the Obama administration has learned nothing. We're barely removed from a ...
Libertarian Hawks
Last week the Wall Street Journal released a poll showing that three-fourths of Rand Paul's supporters said it was in the "national interest" to attack the Islamic State, a number that tracked the level of support from tea partiers ...

ISIS: What You Need to Know

Big Abortion Tries to Buy an Election in Pro-Life Tennessee
There are few states more pro-life than Tennessee. When you poll my friends and neighbors (I live in Columbia, Tenn., perhaps best-known as the "Mule Capital of the World"), you'll find that 70 percent of Tennesseans would like to ban ...
Jihadists Aren't Ivy League Faculty Members
Thanks to the good folks at Hot Air, I was reminded of this quote from Andrew Sullivan, which just might win the gold medal in the "misunderstanding our enemy" Olympics: Consider this hypothetical. It's November 2008. A young Pakistani Muslim ...
Why Can't President Obama Tell the Truth about ISIS's Faith?
President Obama has been in office for more than five years, has seen countless classified reports of terrorist activities and intentions, and has watched as the Islamic State, Hamas, al-Qaeda, and the full range of jihadist groups have committed one ...
Conservatives Need to Fight for Israel in International Courts
In remarks last month to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights indicated there was a "strong possibility" that Israel had violated International Humanitarian Law (a cousin to the law of war) and ...
The ISIS Threat to the United States, in Six Sentences
Let's make this simple, shall we? 1. Al-Qaeda carried out the deadliest attack on American soil in American history and the most devastating foreign attack against an American city since the British occupied and burned Washington during the War of 1812. 2. ...
The IRS Surrenders to Angry Atheists: Was the Fix In?
In John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky's excellent new book, Obama's Enforcer: Eric Holder's Justice Department (I reviewed it here), they outline a disturbing DOJ/EPA racket called "sue and settle." The racket is simple, unethical, and ...
Editing the State Department's 'Disgraceful' Press Release About a Lawful Israeli Air Strike
Yesterday, acting in response to an Israeli air strike outside a UNWRA school, the State Department lapsed into anti-Israel hysteria, calling a precise and successful attack that killed multiple Hamas militants, who were — as usual — seeking refuge by civilians, "disgraceful" ...
Courting Iran
Another limp Obama response.
How the Obama Administration's Lawlessness Will Challenge the Next Conservative President
As we're entering the twilight years of the Obama administration, it's time to begin thinking about the long-term effects of his "pen and phone" presidency, effects that will linger well after the next conservative president is sworn in. ...
The Obama Administration Holds Israel to Stricter Standards than It Holds the U.S.
Let's juxtapose two stories. First, after declaring that Israel's attacks in Gaza were a "hell of a pinpoint operation," Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in the Middle East to press for an immediate cease-fire, a cease-fire that ...
Secretary Kerry's Hot-Mic Israel Critique: He Has No Excuse
When Secretary of State Kerry criticized Israel's military operations in Gaza by calling them a "hell of a pinpoint operation," he not only validated Hamas's human-shield strategy, he handed Hamas a key propaganda victory. And he had no ...

In these church announcements, Bernice Jenkins catches up with some people who died that she hasn't talk to in a while.

Walter Brasch: While 11,000 athletes from 205 countries continue to excel at the Olympics in London, 75 pretend hunters and faux sportsmen are at the Wing Pointe club near Hamburg, Pennsylvania, this weekend where they are shooting more than 10 times the number of pigeons killed at the 1900 Olympics.
Obama Should Veto Empire Over Republic
The political, military industrial, corporate class in Washington DC continues to re-make our constitutional republic into a powerful, unaccountable military empire. Yesterday the U.S. Senate voted 93 to 7 to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 which allows the military to operate domestically within the borders of the United States and to […]

PG&E Execs On Lavish Junket as San Bruno Exploded
Randy Shaw: As the nation asks hard questions about PG&E's funding priorities in the wake of the San Bruno pipeline explosion, the controversial corporation has a new question to answer. Specifically, why did it spend the money to fly execs down for a golfing junket in San Luis Obispo when there was no shortage of Bay Area locations for off-site meetings?
Chamber Of Commerce Speaks Up on Immigration
Andrea Nill: Labor and business appear to agree on one thing: on its own, the $600 million border bill won't solve any of these issues and will do little to fix the nation's broken immigration system.

By Sherwood Ross — Chairman Rupert Murdoch of Fox News once said of his former sportscaster Keith Olbermann, "I fired him. He's crazy."

Valperga is a historical novel, influenced greatly by Godwin's ideas about the relationship between history and imaginative fiction. It is set in fourteenth-century Italy, a period of Italian history dramatized by foreign-rule and internal city-state conflicts. In particular, the novel focuses on the conflicts between the Republican Guelph party and the Ghibeline party associated with the Holy Roman Empire and the various foreign rulers who took or claimed the name of Emperor. As the novel begins the Guelph party, with its base in Florence, is in the ascendancy, and the novel details the early life of the future Ghibeline leader, Castrucchio, Prince of Lucca. Mary's research into Castrucchio included reading, as she put it, �…

Friday Feedback: "The Role of the Middle-Class Revisited"

Seven Rules for Meeting a Bear Camping in the Woods
Although it's unlikely you'll meet a bear camping in the woods, you might actually meet a bear while YOU are camping in the woods. Should that happen, follow these seven simple rules: Rule Number One: There are 5,100 bears in Georgia's woods. There's probably only one of you. Tick them off and they win. Rule Number Two: No matter how many Spiderman, Dirty Harry or Terminator movies you have watched, bears are more likely to eat you than you are to eat them. You might not believe that, but the bears do. Trust me on this one, OK? Rule Number Three: Just as there are two levels of lion tamers — Skilled and Dead — there are only two likely outcomes if you try to feed a bear by hand. If you don't want to be known as "Lefty," don't feed the bears. Rule Number Four: Try not to slather yourself in BBQ sauce and sleep with your leftover food in your tent. Bears will think you're a sandwich with condiments. Rule Number Five: Don't leave any food, drinks, coolers or garbage in the open. Scents from such things as toothpaste, deodorant and soap can attract bears. And not in a good way. Rule Number Six: When camping in the backcountry, place these items inside a knapsack and hoist it out of reach of bears and other wildlife at least 10 feet off the ground and six feet from the tree trunk. No, you don't have to sleep in a tree. Consider using rope or vines, Tarzan. Rule Number Seven: If you are confronted by a giant angry bear, it's better to flee for your life than to entertain him or her with your best Yogi or Boo-Boo impersonation. Remember, you do not have to outrun the bear — only your slowest companion.

With Christmas quickly looming, one's mind turns to sorting out what tokens and gifts we will give to family and friends.
Most readers of these columns are gardeners or budding gardeners so we tend to look for suitable gifts that would bring us pleasure and hopefully the same for the recipient.
For a long time I have firmly believed that it is the thought and effort that goes into a gift that makes it memorable. For instance if you pop down to your local garden centre and pick out a nice container, a feature plant such as a bush rose, a couple of punnets of cascading lobelia or similar and a bag of compost, then you have the makings of a gift that you have thought about and made a nice effort to achieve.
When you get your goodies home you simply place some of the compost into the container to the right height for planting the specimen plant, ensuring that there will be a gap of about 2 centimetres between the top of the mix and the rim of the container. (This allows ease of watering.) You can add about a handful of clean top soil to the mix at the base of the container which brings to the mix the soil bacteria.
After removing the specimen plant from its pot or bag check to see if the roots have spiralled around the bottom of the old container. The more roots there are, the longer it has been growing in the old pot.
If there is a mass of roots then with a pair of secateurs cut a 2cm slash into the bottom roots in the four cardinal points. This allows for quicker root establishment.
If the plant has been for a long time in the old pot it will have a massive root system and be what we call pot bound. If this is the case then you take a cross-cut saw and cut off the bottom one quarter of the roots, to remove all those spiral roots. You can place a few sheep manure pellets on top of the compost and soil mix before placing the plant in the container.
Sit the plant on the bottom mix and fill the space between the plant's mix and the side of the container with more compost. It is in this area of backfill that you will plant your lobelia seedlings.
The reason that I have not suggested using potting mix or shrub and tub mix is because they are inferior to using a good friable compost and a bit of soil mix. Potting mixes are great for indoor plants where the extra expense is justified, they are also good for seed raising and cutting propagation.
For container plants outdoors you want a growing medium that has some guts and a friable compost has animal manure and green waste combined with bark fines or similar. Potting mix is only bark fines or peat moss with some slow release fertiliser added; it dries out too quickly, can be difficult to re-water and lacks goodness that outdoor healthy plants need.
Once you have your gift all potted up, place it in a sheltered spot where it only has early morning sun or late afternoon sun. Water to keep moist but do not over water. If you wish to give the plant a real boost so it is looking its best before you give it at Christmas, then once a week water some Matrix Reloaded into the mix. This is a super powerful plant food that is often used for hydroponic growing and as a plant food for pots or gardens. It makes a noticeable difference. Use at 10ml per litre of water, which you stand for 30 minutes, and apply every seven to 14 days when plants are actively growing.
A gardener once told me she purchased a small tree for her young grandson as a gift a few years ago. He was told that it was his tree and he helped in the planting of it in her garden.
Every time he visits he runs down to see how his tree is and tells all that it is his tree.
What a great idea for a young person, and this could be extended by giving and planting a fruit tree so not only does the child get to watch the progress of their tree but they will, in years to come, enjoy the fruits as well.
Gardening gift vouchers are an acceptable gift for novice and seasoned gardeners. They give the receiver two lots of pleasure; The initial receiving of the voucher and then the pleasure of shopping for a garden product or specimen.
Problems? Phone me on 0800 466 464 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
