Less than 24 hours after Ann Romney took center stage at the Republican National Convention to urge Americans to get to know her husband Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president, a group of supporters held a party aboard the yacht "Cracker Bay."
In her speech, Mrs. Romney painted a picture of Mitt Romney that few Americans hold as a mental image when thinking of the freshly crowned Republican nominee in this year's contest for president.
She told the conventioneers and television viewers that Mitt was not much different from the average hard-working American. She made no apologies for the wealth his business savvy had brought home for the family.
What is ironic about the party aboard the yacht Cracker Bay is that no average, hard-working American could dream of being invited to partake of the fine wine and food prepared for Romney's guests earlier today.
According to ABC News The Blotter, the Cracker Bay is owned by Gary Morse, a Florida developer. ABC News also reports that the Cracker Bay is registered in the Cayman Islands.
The party was thrown for donors who had either given a million dollars to the Romney campaign or had a list of donors to contribute a million dollars.
These unidentified donors gained unlimited access to the Romney campaign and would be the likely beneficiaries of a Romney presidency, not the average moms Ann Romney targeted in her remarks last night.
By registering his yacht in the Caymans, Morse does not have to pay any taxes on this luxury vessel. It reportly seats 30 for dinner and has an extensive art collection.
These donors are Romney's real friends. They like him are very successful businessmen who take advantage of every legal tax loophole to avoid paying taxes.
Romney's tax policies will impact the bottom line of these wealthy donors more so than they will the average mom who has to juggle too many expenses each month to go along with too small of a paycheck. A paycheck that could be much less under a Romney tax shceme that President Obama argues would require middle class Americans to pay at a higher tax rate.
Just like the situation with his tax returns, Romney has refused to release the names of his top bundlers, a term used to denote a group of donors who combine their resources to raise one large sum for the campaign.
This morning's event was attended by 50 people, according to ABC News. Among that number were several members of Romney's family, including his brother Scott Romney.
The American public knows less about the financial dealings of Romney than of any presidential candidate in recent history. What is known is that Romney is a very wealthy man. It is also known that he got wealthy by working hard at buying and selling securities.
Romney has failed thus far to establish why a man so enormously wealthy would want to be president of anything other than a corporation. Perhaps in his acceptance speech on Thursday night, Romney will tell the American people why they should elect someone who earned his money through the very instrumentality that caused the economy to take a nosedive under the last Republican President.

Posted on 04/26/2012 5:47:33 AM PDT by Perdogg
The easiest way to say it is just to say it: There are grown men out there who devote themselves to the rainbow-unicorn-sparkly-pastel fantasy world of the childrens TV show My Little Pony. And, more appallingly, its not done ironically they are proud of it.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
What's the problem? I mean, it's not called "My anatomically correct little pony". ;')
Point Taken.
I find Japanese animation generally interesting. They seem to like to trade lower frame rates for higher detail in the frames. And the big eyes are very attractive.
I've never seen an episode of MLP. There was an anime series I was following for a while called _Gunslinger Girls_ about a group of pre-pubescent girls being trained and used as assassins by the government. I liked it rather a lot, especially the music. Perhaps that would be more to your taste.
No thanks.
I left childish things behind decades ago.
So you're into My Little Pony and think gays should be executed. Sorry, dude, you're a freaking weirdo.
I dunno, I go for the occasional Speed Racer rerun on the spanish language channel.
Thank you so very much. You have no idea what a wonderful feeling of uplift it is to log onto Free Republic, the premier conservative site on the Internet (where I have been a member for exactly thirteen years as of the end of next month) and read a fellow conservative who doesn't even know me calling me a "freaking weirdo" because I happen to enjoy a particular cartoon show on television and because of my religious beliefs. You're too kind, really. And so mature. I'm ashamed of myself. I should just cancel my membership of this forum, slink out of the conservative movement altogether, and become a brain-dead Barack-head because someone who chooses to enjoy that show (rather than any number of fine, upstanding shows which I'm sure you enjoy on a daily basis) and because G-d A-mighty, thousands of years before I was born, decreed male homosexuality a capital offense.
Is there anything else I can possibly do to please you while we're at it? (And by "please you," please don't get any funny ideas.)
I apologize to all good "true conservatives" on this forum. Obviously "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" was created by the Illuminati to program its useless, better-off-aborted lefty slacker scum to rise up and destroy all red-blooded, G-d-fearing True Americans on a signal from Pinkie Pie (alias the Antichrist).
And while we're at it, let's also get rid of all the other vile polluters of True Conservatism, like the Jew-lovers and the Bible-thumpers and the people who don't want to euthanase the retards and the Down's syndrome people, and the biddies who want to outlaw drinking, whoring, and gambling.
You have any sparkling Kentucky bourbon on you? The Jewish Commies and their pony minions are fluoridating my drinking water. Oh, and you wouldn't happen to have any vitamin B-17 on you, would you? I hear the Commies don't like that either.
Japan is a little different than America is with regards to animation; they see it more as another medium to present a story or a vision than America does, where anything animated is predominantly thought of as 'kiddy', i.e. 'cartoon = for kids'. The particular term would be the Animation Age Ghetto, and it's a shame that its influence is still so strong.
You may say that shows like My Little Pony are childish. Fair enough; the studio intended the audience to be the 5-11 girl demographic (albeit with plenty of Parental Bonuses like the old Looney Tunes to make it enjoyable to watch for older people, since that was one of the intended goals of the show's creator). You may say that shows like Family Guy and its ilk are childish. Fair enough; those kind of shows are filled to the brim with vulgar and immature humor that does not strike one as 'adult', in the sense of thematic complexity. But going about animation in that way is VERY limiting; if live-action shows had to follow the standard that you seem to place on animation, then everything would either be G and PG ("It must be for kids!") or NC-17 ("Trashy junk filled to the brim with shock humor!").
I don't think you'd describe Princess Mononoke as childish. Or Watership Down. Or Neon Genesis Evangelion. Or Grave of the Fireflies. Or Paranoia Agent. Or Cowboy Bebop. And so on and so forth.
Animation != Childish
When my 10 YO daughter was much younger, she had a My Little Pony Christmas DVD. It was one of the worst kids video I had ever seen. I wanted to puke after seeing it. Aside from the sickening cuteness and femininity of everything, most of the ponies, especially the star of the show acted like they were mentally ill. Suffering from personality disorders.
Never heard of any of the stuff you are describing and not interested.
You can describe liver and onions in any fashion you desire and I am not going to eat it. Same as the little girl cartoons and dressing up like a pony.
Simply not going to change my mind about it being weird and certainly not mainstream or normal.
In fact, if money were no object, I might own one ... just for giggles.
Pinging the Mod again?
Are they into cartoons aimed at little girls or are you being a tattletale again?
I'm thinking a tattletale. Have they banned any "non-bonies" for you?
I guess you have no choice as your meandering whiny little rants are just making you look more foolish.
One real question. You keeping posting that homosexuality is a "death penalty" offense. Just how many homos have you bonies killed in the last few years?
Is it pronounced El Speedo Racero?
Hey, I happen to like liver & onions. Not everyone's favorite but not weird or abnormal or non mainstream either. Hated it as a kid I will admit. But isn't this thread really about putting aside childish things and becoming an adult?
I also like onions & anchovies on my pizza. Too much information?
Anyway, this has been one fun thread about a topic I would care zilch about except watching Zeronuts Conniptionator turn into one heavy drama queen.
I agree completely.

Cute AND Fun!
Checked this out cuz hubby LOVES piggies. Now I'm having trouble putting it down. My reflexes ain't what they used to be, but the controls are simple & not hard to adjust to. While this game is suitable for all ages, don't be fooled ... parts of it can be pretty darned challenging! The only reason I gave this cool little game 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of directions in the beginning. They do give 'em to ya as you play ( Make sure you read the little signs BEFORE you get to them!), but in some instances it's too little too late ... AFTER you've taken a hit or lost an apple.
All in all, I'm thoroughly enjoying the game & think it's absolutely worth trying.
Enough of this! I need to get back to playing! I can quit anytime! Really I can!!! :)
Great option for a free game
Although this is only the beggining of the full game it was quite entertaining. It was nice not to have to collect enou points and wait enough time to be able to continue with the game. It actually made me buy the first paid game in over a year on the app store. Highly recomend the free and full version.
Its easy enough to be entertaining but if you choose can be difficult enough to keep you occupied for hours.
Very cute, addictive game. Recommended!
Super cute graphics, iPad controls very easy to use, addictive gameplay. My 5 year old son really enjoys the game - the characters are very cute without being too cutesy and he enjoys seeing what is going to happen next. I enjoy playing the levels with him and then replaying them multiple times trying to better my score once he has gone to bed.

Scouts on the Outs
A Troop Leader Accuses the Girl Scout Bureaucracy of Hogging Cookie Profits
Is nothing sacred? Thin Mints controversial? If they are feeding the bureaucracy at the Girl Scouts' Connecticut Trails Council at the expense of troop needs, yes, argues Denton. "Everything we do as a troop—camping, training for leaders, you name it—we get charged for," says Denton. "Basically, the council says to the girls, 'Raise the money and then give it back to us.
The council moved swiftly, removing Denton," who is married and the mother of two Girl Scouts, as troop leader. But three other troops have joined Troop 370 in the boycott. Officials said her boycott was sour grapes at not being given a salaried staff job, a charge Denton denies. Carol Smullen, the council's communications director, disputes Denton's accusations, saying the troops get more than their fair share when prizes for top earners are factored in, and dismisses suggestions of widespread dissension in the ranks. "Our membership has never been higher," she says.
That may be so, but the state attorney general's office is investigating Denton's complaint. Smullen says the council is planning to hold a hearing to determine whether Denton should be reinstated. For Denton, the cookie quarrel has left a bitter aftertaste. "It becomes very depressing when you feel that the organization you work for doesn't give a damn about the kids," she says. "But I keep plugging along, keeping up my spirits for the girls."

Gurung people

Gurung (Tamu) girls in traditional attire
|Gurung, Nepali and Himachali
|Buddhism and Hinduism [1]
The Gurung people, also called Tamu, are an ethnic group from different parts of Nepal.[2]
They are Buddhists and large minority of Hindus. Centuries of cultural influence from Tibet and its northern neighbours – which adopted the Tibetan culture to a heavy extent, resulting in many Gurungs gradually embracing Tibetan Buddhism–particularly among Gurungs in the Manang region – over the centuries, particularly the Nyingma school.[3]
[4] Priestly practitioners of Gurung Dharma include lamas, ghyabri (klehpri), and pachyu (paju).[5] Shamanistic elements among the Gurungs remain strong and most Gurungs often embrace Buddhist and Bön rituals in all communal activities.[6]
Gurung music is one of the traditional form of music from the indigenous Gurung community of Nepal. Gurung society is very rich in its cultural heritage, and music plays an important role in their everyday life. Whether it is a child's birth, a marriage ceremony or a funeral, music plays a vital role in the process.
Some of the Gurung people are renowned for their use of mad honey, which they collect from the Himalayan honey bee, both for its medicinal and hallucinogen properties.[7]

- Amrit Gurung, Singer/musician
- Anil Gurung, Top Striker of Nepal National Football Team

Letter "L" Needlepoint Stitch
By: Janet Perry from Nuts About Needlepoint
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Needlepoint stitches are fun, especially when the charts are easy to follow! Enjoy making the Letter "L" Needlepoint Stitch with directions from Nuts About Needlepoint.
This large curvy L is from Tink's Gallery 24 alphabet in L Alphabets Fun and Fabulous (available in the needlepoint bookstore).
The background is done in Needlepoint Stem Stitch. This stitch is a variation of Alternating Diagonal Gobelin, with every other row accented with a line of Backstitches down the middle. This stitch is not a place for subtlety in choosing the accent color. It must be a different value, color, or thread. Otherwise the line of Backstitches disappears. It should also be a thinner thread. In this case I use Silk & Ivory as the main thread and two strands of a dark hot pink in Burmilana for the accents. While the accent is a row of Backstitches, they do not have to be over one thread. In this case most of them are over two threads and some are over three.

Make a soap recipe with this ingredient
using our
Lye Calculator
Argan Oil: This oil is expeller pressed and rich in vitamin E. It's a lightweight oil making it a great addition to most all cosmetic products. Argan is a particularly nourishing addition to any hair care product. The essential fatty acid can help moisturize and define dry damaged hair. Not to mention, it also works great in lotions, creams, salves, or leave in treatments. Whether you're looking to simply boost the moisturizing power of your lotion or go all out with an argan oil hair mask, pamper yourself with the addition of our argan oil.
Ingredients:Botanical Name: Argania Spinosa (Argan) OilCommon Name: Argan Oil

I used this oil to create a beard oil formulation. It was nice and light and performs well with all my ingredients. Thanks for the inspiration, on Soap Queen TV with Anne-Marie !
I bought this in the smaller bottle once before and I didnt have the exact amount and once BB found out they solved the problem for me. I went ahead and ordered a pound of this stuff, and was not disapointed this time. I got the exact amount I needed. BB knocks it out of the park with costumer service every time! This oil is not nutty scented which means that even though it was expeller pressed it didnt reach high temps. When argan oil has a nutty scent it means the nuts were heated before the extraction phase or during the extraction phase. It is a light oil and very moisturizing and even though it can be pricey it is so much and i mean SO MUCH cheaper to buy a full 16oz here than buying a 6 oz bottle from josie maran for the exact same thing. I put this stuff in everything I make from body oils, to balms. And even though argan oil tends to fluctuate in price BB almost always has it for the best price. TREAT YOURSELF!
Although I have not tried Argan oil in my recipes yet, I was researching its properties and reading reviews on the subject. I saw where one reviewer had an issue with the Argan oil sold here and it caused some concern for me and I imagine others as well when they read it. SOOOO... I immediately consulted the GOOGLE and did some extensive research on Argan oil properties and what to expect. The following has been copied and pasted from a Wiki article: Workers gently roast kernels they will use to make culinary argan oil. After the argan kernels cool, workers grind and press them. The brown-coloured mash expels pure, unfiltered argan oil. Finally, they decant unfiltered argan oil into vessels. The remaining press cake is protein-rich and frequently used as cattle feed.[1] Cosmetic argan oil is produced almost identically, though the argan kernels are not roasted to avoid an excessively nutty scent. The decanted argan oil is left to rest about two weeks so that solids suspended in the argan oil settle to the bottom, creating a natural sediment. The clearer argan oil is further filtered, depending on the required clarity and purity. Pure argan oil may contain some sediment. This is a natural part of the production process and does not affect quality. (end quote) As you can see...there is a difference in the oils. I believe what is being sold here is cosmetic grade and that is what I was looking for. Thanks
This Argan oil is high quality and this is a great price comparatively speaking. Will definitely buy more!
I use this in my hair conditioner and a salve I make. I like that it is refined because it doesn't have a strong smell. It adds a nice quality to my conditioner that really makes my curly hair smooth with just the right amount of shine. It is also great in my salve and absorbs pretty well into my skin. Next I would like to try to make some kind of hair mask using argan oil but I don't know how or even where to start really. I guess I'll have to do more research. Anyway I would definitely recommend this!
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Cool Stuff: The Films of Joe Dante and Roger Corman Get an Art Show And Screening
Posted on Thursday, May 22nd, 2014 by Germain Lussier
Joe Dante and Roger Corman are two filmmakers with incredibly influential legacies. Corman's eclectic, fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants style of filmmaking helped educate and launch the careers of everyone from James Cameron and Jack Nicholson to Ron Howard and Peter Fonda. Then there's Dante, whose twisted sense of humor mixed with childlike wonder helped mold children of the Eighties in ways very similar to Steven Spielberg. Along the way, each gave us a ton of memorable films.
Now, the Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles is paying tribute to the films of both filmmakers with a art exhibit and film screening. The exhibit is called Kings Of Cult: An Art Tribute to Roger Corman and Joe Dante and opens May 24 at the Gallery in Los Angeles. Before that, Dante and Corman will be in attendance at a double feature of Dante's 1993 film Matinee and Corman's 1964 film The Masque of the Red Death on may 23 at the New Beverly Cinema. Read more about the event, and see some of the art, below. Read More »

University of Montana Western students and staff recently helped move rocks for the Dillon, Mont. hillside letter restoration effort. The hillside "M" above Dillon dates back to an initiative by the Montana State Normal School class of 1919, who funded the effort. The "M" was completed by the class of 1920. The project to restore the "M" goes back to last fall when Chancellor Beth Weatherby made the restoration a top priority, UMW Foundation Director Roxanne Engellant explained. "After nearly a decade as a "W," the hillside letter will be restored to the original "M," keeping in line with a tradition that dates back almost 100 years" Engellant said. "The "M" also signifies our state pride and place within the Montana University System." The process to bring back the "M" is a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders including Montana Western leadership, faculty, students and alumni, the Beaverhead Trails Coalition, U.S. Forest Service and community members. The project will also require the expertise of Bureau of Land Management rangeland management specialists and USDA botanists. The UMW biology and environmental sciences departments plan to create opportunities for their classes to assist with this project on an ongoing basis to help with the replanting efforts of the vegetation and provide hands-on experiences for their classes in the fall. The restoration project will be ongoing through summer 2016 and into 2017. — MONTANA WESTERN —

Planned Parenthood redefines "Be Prepared" for the Girl Scouts
Who was that yo-yo who said we need to stop focusing on social issues? Yeah thanks Mitch Daniels, I appreciate the advice. Too bad it's wrong.
Today is Girl Scout Sunday. Churches across America are celebrating the accomplishments of our fine young women and their scout leaders. I had the honor of presenting the Mother of God Medal to Sophie during Mass. Eight Brownies in her troop worked very hard with Monsignor Desmond to earn this award. I know, because I was right there with them, having volunteered to lead the program. Their scouting values of duty to God, reverence, and faithfulness were evident to all.
Meanwhile at the national level, Girl Scouting has taken a decidedly different path. Duty, Honor, and Country are so old-fashioned.: : The new paradigm is Healthy, Happy, and Hot.
The World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides hosted a no-adults-welcome panel at the United Nations [in March 2010] where Planned Parenthood was allowed to distribute a brochure entitled "Healthy, Happy and Hot." . . . The brochure claims, "Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse. But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself." . . .
I'm thinking the "right way" for a girl to have sex is with her husband, after they are married.
In the same vein, pretty much anything advocated by Planned Parenthood is the wrong way. Probably would help drum up business for them though.
The Girl Scouts, along with the YWCA have been co-moderating a young women's caucus that included an "Intergenerational Conversation" side event on "universal access" and "reproductive health." One recent Girl Scout project "aims at securing the right of women, men and adolescents aged between ten and twenty-five, to better reproductive and sexual health."
I'm certain Monsignor Desmond doesn't have a medal for that.
Well, now that I'm hooked up with providing for Sophie's troop's religious education, I think our next project will be a Launch Party for The Catholic View for Women. It's exactly the kind of program the national Girl Scout Council really needs. And sadly, it's one which they will never endorse.

Unlike many examples of creative interpretation, this proposal would formally amend the amendment. Liberals learned in the 1970s, with the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, how hard it is to amend the Constitution; here is our chance to teach the same lesson to conservatives.
The New Know-Nothings
Berry Craig: Of course, the Republicans – and even the Tea Baggers – would have us belief that their beef is with "illegal" immigrants. But they're not fooling anybody. Most of these neo-Know Nothings are white people who have a problem with Latinos north of the border, period.
"Why Is the Media So Anti-Union?"
Berry Craig: Generally, the smaller a paper or TV or radio station is, the greater its bias against unions. Their anti-unionism is sometimes as plain as their front doors, which are often plastered with decals or stickers proudly proclaiming chamber membership. The fact that the chamber is openly pro-business and anti-union apparently doesn't trouble local media owners about conflicts of interest.
Boycott Arizona Urges Arizona Congressman
After Arizona passed what has been described as the most draconian immigration bill in the history of the United States, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D) Arizona, urged organizations to refrain from using Arizona as a convention site and urged them to refrain from spending their dollars in the state of Arizona until Arizona turns the clock forward and joins the rest of the union.
Voices of America: Enhancing Diversity on the Bench
Cynthia Loo: It is not only a historic time, it is a hopeful time. Change comes slowly, but with the inspiration of the recent appointments of Judge Jacqueline Nguyen, a recognition of the value that different voices bring to the judiciary and affirmative steps led by someone with vision – that what Jacqueline Nguyen's parents know will become a reality – that anything is possible in America.
A Progressive Answer to the Oscars
Ed Rampell: The 2009 Progie Award winners include: Michael Moore's anti-corporate documentary Capitalism, A Love Story; the Palestinian immigrant drama Amreeka; the German urban guerrilla feature The Baader-Meinhoff Complex; the psychic military unit satire The Men Who Stare At Goats and British director Ken Loach, all completely overlooked by this year's Oscars.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a crowd-pleasing culture-clash romantic comedy. There's a non-graphic sexual situation, but it's clear that Toula and Ian wait until they're really committed before sleeping together. Characters drink beer and wine, and while at a party, Ian's parents are introduced to ouzo and overindulge. Occasional profanity includes "ass," "jagoff," and "bite me," and Toula's brother teaches Ian Greek phrases such as "I have three testicles" and "nice boobs," which he tells him mean something innocuous. Positive messages include the importance of family and finding a balance between independence and remaining connected to your roots.

What's the story?
In MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, Nia Vardalos plays Toula, the shy, plain daughter of a loving but overpowering Greek family. Her family believes that Greek girls are meant to marry Greek boys, have Greek babies, and cook a lot of Greek food. In the unlikely event that they don't get married, they're expected to work in the family business -- in this case, a Greek restaurant. But Toula dreams of more, and with the help of her mother and aunt, she manages to get her dad thinking it's his idea to have her go back to school and get a different job in her aunt's travel agency. Toula starts not only to bloom but to glow, attracting the attention of Ian, a handsome teacher (Sex and the City's John Corbett).
Is it any good?
Viewers will fall in love with Nia Vardalos and her family, too; they're an irresistible force, and she's just plain irresistible. And the story behind My Big Fat Greek Wedding is as remarkable as the film itself. Actress/writer Vardalos created a one-woman show about her Greek family and their response when she married a man who wasn't Greek. Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson (who's Greek), saw the show and decided to make it into a movie with Vardalos playing herself.
Vardalos and director Joel Zwick balance the specifics of the Greek-American culture with the transcendent universalities of family dynamics, and Vardalos and Corbett have a believable sweetness with each other. The movie is riotously funny but heart-catchingly touching, and it will make you want to go back and hug everyone you're related to. This is a terrific choice for families with older tweens: The romance is age-appropriate, and the characters are great role models for how to fall in love and treat each other right. This is one movie where no surprises lurk. Just grab the popcorn, put the phones away, and enjoy.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about cultural differences. Do you know families where the couples come from different backgrounds? How have those differences created problems or opportunities for new, blended traditions?
What are some of the elements that make My Big Fat Greek Wedding a romantic comedy? How is it similar to and different from other romantic comedies?
How does the movie portray Greek-American culture? Where might it have been exaggerated for the sake of comedy? Where did it seem like an accurate reflection?
Once Toula receives a makeover, she's able to find a husband. Can you think of other movies in which an "ugly duckling" gets a new look and suddenly enjoys a better life? What message does that send about body image?
