I have just bought two different guns for my sons wii and when you clip in the controller and go to use it on several different games the sights of the guns dont align with the controllers aim. i have tried altering the sensor bar settings in the menu. is there anything i'm doing wrong. many thanks.
i have the zapper also. yes if you move the sensor bar it helps but what i noticed is you could only align it so much... once you start pointing too far to the right or too far to the left it seems a bit off.
it really shouldnt be much of a problem once you get used to it. unless something is seriously wrong with yours.
if you have an hdtv set the wii to widescreen.. also you can put the sensor bar at the top or bottom of the tv if you set it that way in the menu.

Lawyers' licenses suspended by state Supreme Court
The Wisconsin law license of a Madison attorney accused nearly seven years ago of raping a woman in Green Lake County was suspended for 60 days and his alleged accomplice, who practices law in Chicago, will lose his license for 30 days, the state Supreme Court ordered Wednesday.
The actions against Stephan Addison and Benjamin Butler come six years after the men were convicted of lesser felonies stemming from the 2005 assault on the Berlin woman.

Like it!
I used to use the sigma tapered blending brush, but after a few washes that started to shed on me and was getting a little prickly. Tried this one for a month or so, haven't washed it yet but I like the blend better and the bristles feel softer.

Not a very nice brush
I have read lot of good reviews on this brush so had a high expectation on it. Was very disappointed with the brush. The bristles are too hard and it is very scratchy when used it on eyelid. I can't really blend eyeshadow at my crease with this brush because it is quite painful with the hard bristles. Not recommend to buy this sigma brush

slightly big for my tiny monolids
depending on your eyeshape and intended usage of the brush, this might be too big for us asians with small monolids. i'd like to use this for outer 1/3 of the eyes, which it's definitely usable for. and fluffy enough that it wouldnt deposit too much color in one go. but it's just abit too big for me to do more precise work.

Good blending brush
This brush actually lives up to its name. It really does give a diffused, feathered look when I use it to blend the eyeshadow on my crease. Aside from blending my eyeshadow beautifully, I also use it to apply powder contour on the sides of my nose. I wouldn't label this as a must-have (thus, the 4 stars), but If you're into collecting great quality brushes, I'd say give this one a go :)

Soft and helps with diffusing color
I have way too many brushes, but this does have a place in my heart. I mainly use it to apply a wash of transition color between the brow bone and my crease. It help to give a soft and diffuse look for a well-blended gradient eye look. It does not help with really blending out colors but I like it to give a more blown out look to my crease. A good brush but wouldn't call it holy grail.

Isabella pfahlert
This brush has changed my life! I love it so much. The bristles are so soft on the skin, nothing scratchy AT ALL! It's perfect for putting a shadow through the crease or just all over blending. I makes for a flawless eyeshadow look and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Good crease brush
Good quality brush as can be expected from Sigma. This a good crease brush specially if you want to concentrate a shade on the crease without it blending too high towards the eyebrow. As named, it really helps to achieve a diffused effect when blending eyeshadows.

This brush is the best blending brush I've had. I have hooded eyes and small eyelids and this blends out the crease perfectly. Highly recommend to everyone with small eyelids or hooded eyes. This has changed my makeup looks and make them look so much better.

E38 Diffused Crease
I don't know why this brush does not get enough love from beauty bloggers. This is a great crease brush for Asian eyes. The bristles are soft enough to blend but firm enough to pack colors. I love this one a lot!!! My favorite sigma eye brush so far

I liked them so much at the track that I've kept them on for full time use and even under normal driving conditions, they stop you quick, don't make any noise and leave very little brake dust. They may not seem to be that much more amazing than normal brakes when they are cold but get them hot and they'll blow you away! Plus, the yellow looks great

All three players were a huge part of the championship title that the Giants brought back to San Francisco last season, and they will need to contribute again this year if they have any chance of repeating.
The future of the Giants depends not only on players like Posey and Lincecum, but on players just like them, who are now prospects, but may be household names in the near future.

Terrific Wines Coming from Walla Walla's Saviah Cellars
For a number of smaller Washington wineries it's not uncommon for the owners and winemakers to still maintain their day jobs. I've met attorneys, pharmaceutical sales reps, real estate agents and farmers, to name a few, who are serious about their winemaking but just haven't been able to make the jump to working at it on a full-time basis.
When an individual can cut the cord, so to speak, it's usually a sign of a winery's growing success. Such is the case with Rich Funk, co-owner and winemaker of Saviah Cellars in Walla Walla.
Funk is a former Environmental Health Specialist who left his job earlier this year to devote 100 percent of his time to Saviah, and his current releases reflect a more focused effort to produce some of the better wines coming out of Southeast Washington.
The Jack, Lot 25 (about $18): This tasty blend of Merlot and Cabernet displays plenty of dark cherry and plum flavors and is highlighted by a slightly spicy finish. It's a terrific value for a red wine of this caliber.
2004 Une Vallee (about $30): A beautiful, Bordeaux-style red that begins with an incredible aroma of blueberry and vanilla. Dense, complex and loaded with black cherry and currant flavors, be sure to give this wine ample time to open up. Better yet, cellar it for another two to three years; I think it will continue to get even better.
Other current releases include the 2005 Star Meadows White (about $25), a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon and the 2004 Red Mountain Syrah (about $30).
Saviah Cellars wines are available in Anacortes at Compass Wines and the Food Pavilion and in Bellingham at selected Haggen stores. The wine list at Bellingham's Nimbus restaurant also features The Jack, which is available for purchase by the bottle. More information: www.saviahcellars.com.
Bergevin Lane Indicative of Strong Women's Presence in NW Wine Industry
Are women having a hand in shaping the Pacific Northwest wine industry? Absolutely!
Husband and wife teams share ownership, winemaking and management duties at dozens of wineries such as Hightower Cellars, Tildio Winery, and James Leigh Cellars. Olympic Cellars, located near Port Angeles, is currently owned and operated by three women. And a number of wineries boast women who are head winemakers including Marie-Eve Gilla at Forgeron Cellars and Three Rivers Winery's Holly Turner.
in Walla Walla is another winery that has achieved critical acclaim due in no small part to the efforts of its co-founder/managers, partners Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane. The winery opened in 2003 and features one of the most pristine production facilities I've ever encountered. Their grapes come from some of Washington's premiere vineyards and handcrafted attention to detail is fast becoming the winery's hallmark.
Current releases include the 2004 Calico Red (about $18), a tasty Bordeaux-style blend of five red varietals at an affordable price. The 2005 Viognier (about $25) is a bold, complex white wine with flavors of peach and pear and touches of citrus and toasty oak on the finish. The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (about $25) is a heady, blockbuster red loaded with dark berry, currant and mocha flavors.
My personal favorite is the 2003 Alder Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel. This incredible wine is borderline port-like, with a 16.1 percent alcohol content, dark, ultra-ripe plum flavors and a mile-long finish. This wine may only be available with club membership, a service that is open to the public by signing up through the winery web site at www.bergevinlane.com.
Bergevin Lane wines are available at selected Haggen stores and can also be special ordered through several local grocers or any wine specialty shop in the Bellingham area.

Pinot Grigio
Robert Mondavi 2005 (about $11): From California's Central Coast, here's a tasty little Pinot Grigio with plenty of nice pear and citrus flavors at a very affordable price.
I served this wine with an oyster ravioli and cream sauce. Talk about a perfect pairing! The wine's crisp acidity cut through the sauce, allowing one to taste all of the wonderful flavors of both the food and the wine. Great for summer…or any other time of the year for that matter.
Clay Station Wines Are a Super Buy
One of the most popular questions I'm asked by those who drink wine on an infrequent or semi-regular basis is, "what's a good wine I can get for $10 or less?"
I'm not sure why $10 seems to be the magic number for some people when purchasing a wine. Perhaps it's that psychological price point where double digits take over and a bit of uneasiness begins to creep in that one might be spending too much on a bottle of wine.
Whatever the reason, most every wine drinker seems to like a good bargain and I've got a suggestion or two that might help fit the bill.
Clay Station wines, located in Lodi, California, is doing a nice job of producing both red and white wines for $9.99 a bottle that are not only adequate, they're quite good for wines in this price range. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that they're comparable to wines that might cost you upwards of double the price.
Here a couple of Clay Station wines I recently tried and found to be particularly good:
2004 Viognier: This tasty white wine is filled with luscious flavors of stone fruits such as peach and apricot. The finish is faintly sweet and suggests fresh honeydew melon.
2004 Old Vine Zinfandel: A tremendous value for a California zin. It's loaded with dark, ultra-ripe plum flavors that melt into a lengthy, velvety finish that's highlighted by touches of spice.
You may be able to find Clay Station wines at selected Fred Meyer and Haggen Food Stores, although a better bet would be to try the Zephyr Bistro, located at 11 Bellwether Way in Bellingham, which currently has the wines in stock or available for order.

Welcome to our luxury townhouse on Corcega beach in the Stella Community, one of the most welcoming and friendly family neighborhoods in Rincon. The beach is steps from our front door. Ours is the largest and most private of the 8 townhouses at Wave Coast. It is fully equipped with top-of-the-line EVERYTHING, and furnished in a style that is both comfortable and modern. Everything is immaculate, bright, fresh, and top quality. The interior is a spacious 2-stories (2100 sq.ft.), and air conditioned throughout. We have 2 large bedrooms, brand-new leather sofas in the living room, and 3.5 bathrooms. Bicycles, board games, I-pod doc,and espresso machine are provided for your convenience. We have a 'pac-n-play', 'sippy cups', and beach toys in case you are bringing a little one. On the romantic roof-top terrace, enjoy a soothing jacuzzi - for your use only; not shared with neighbors. The terrace has a gas grill, small refrigerator for cold beverages, table and chairs, and lounge chairs for sun bathing, as well as a view of the sunset. You can also cool off in our private dipping pool in the backyard, with private patio. Everything you need is within a couple of miles: delicious restaurants, pharmacy, playground, a sports complex, 2 grocery stores, and Rincon village.
Andy and Robyn fell in love with Rincon, Puerto Rico while taking a vacation with our daughters in 2004. On a second trip to Rincon, in 2007, we stumbled upon our townhouse - still under construction at the time - and we were hooked. When we are not in Rincon, Robyn is a special educator and Andy is an engineer. We love good food, fresh air, reading, gardening, and running.
Robyn Schenck purchased this townhome in 2008
Suite 8 in Rincon was the perfect spot for us. It is steps away from the calmer part of the surf in Rincon, and we love that we can snorkel right off the beach. It is close enough to the surfer beaches, so we can play at those beaches, too. But we love that we can leave the wilder, crazier scene to go home to Suite 8 in the evenings. Suite 8 was built just 4 years ago, and we were able to furnish it with new appliances and furniture that we love. We made sure to stock it with everything we would hope to find, if we were the renters. We love the privacy of sun-bathing on the roof-top terrace, or slipping into the private jacuzzi in the evenings to look at the stars. Also, the neighborhood was perfect for us. It's safe and friendly. Robyn goes running alone most mornings, and enjoys the beauty of the vistas overlooking the bright blue sea. We find ripe mangos falling from the trees all around our property. We also love that, although our neighborhood is very typically Puerto Rican - with roosters crowing, and the smell of delicious Caribbean home cooking all around - most people speak English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation with folks we meet. We hope to retire at Suite 8 in about 10 years.
We have met so many community-minded people, we are now part of a group that uses snorkel masks and fins to clean up the reefs along the shore. There is an easily accessible 'sub-community' of health conscious and athletic people. Rincon hosts many sporting events for bikers, triathletes, tennis players, and surfers. There is a wonderful sports facility less than a mile from Suite 8, where you will see folks of all ages walking the track or taking an outdoors aerobics class, every morning.
Suite 8 was fantastic. Very comfortable, CLEAN and SAFE for us and my 83 yr old mother in law. Pool and hot tub were very clean and private. Great for day and night. The location was 15 min. at the most to everything. Restaurants and bars were as Robyn described in Guest Book at Suite 8. Food was fantastic. I read about the barking dogs and roosters. The first day we said, "what is that all about". Now that were home we miss them. They were a friendly reminder that we were away. We will be back.
Everything was perfect. The pool, the hot tub, the furniture, the first aid supply, the location, and the flexibility of the owners. We almost hit a little puppy, and ended up adopting her, and Robyn was kind enough to let us keep her in the backyard even though they officially did not allow pets. The only thing that wasn't perfect is we couldn't have our local friends over. The property is still a 5 star stay :)
From the pictures and reviews we expected Suite 8 to be nice, but it truly exceeded our expectations. The premises were really comfortable and the local managing agents were very helpful when we needed them. For only two of us so the multilevel property was amazingly spacious and luxurious; the amenities and furnishings were all top-notch, and everything was clean and tidy. We chose the back bedroom with the two queen beds, and with our white-noise iPad app plus the A/C we didn't hear any rooster/dog noise at all. We enjoyed cooling off in the backyard dipping pool and admiring the starry skies from the roof deck, as well as watching the amazing sunsets on the beautiful beach just steps away. Rincon is a really cool, funky, laid-back Caribbean town and we are deeply grateful to Robyn and Andy for sharing their fabulous place with us. For our first trip to Puerto Rico we couldn't have done any better!
What a location! Pitching wedge distance to an incredible beach with the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen! Lots of toys are yours to use to play with in the ocean. Ocean temp is in the 80's and feels like your in the bath. Great pubs and restaurants are walking distance away. Rincon is an awesome laid back beach town with things to do to satisfy everyone's wants and needs. It goes without saying we will be back!
Thank you Robyn and Andy for sharing a piece of your paradise. We recently traveled to Puerto Rico to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. To celebrate his birthday, we travelled with some friends. We stayed in Suite 8 and our friends stayed in suite 5 and 7. Suite 8 is by far the best. It is clean and spacious especially outside by the pool with extra green space. There are three bathrooms and a closet fully stocked with anything you may have possibly forgotten to pack. The jacuzzi, on the top floor, is the perfect spot to relax at the end of a day. The property is centrally located and walking distance to fabulous restaurants, grocery and liquor stores, and best of all the beach. The beach is clean and the sunsets are breathtaking. However, with a car there are many adventures to be had. Some of our favorites are Sandy Beach as well as Steps beach for the snorkeling. At the end of the day, Calypso open air bar and restaurant is the place to catch the stunning Puerto Rican sunset and listen to an Island band. Rincon, Puerto Rico and our accommodations surpassed all our expectations of an island getaway. My husband and I sincerely recommend Suite 8 for your home away from home in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
This rental was absolutely amazing. Very true to its description and photographs. Great for a romantic getaway (or not), had all the essentials you would need for staying in *and them some!*, but close enough to restaurants to go out last minute. Unit was very clean and tidy. Very welcoming and inviting. Incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Nice and private. Had all the essentials of home, and a lot of additional utilities that we never got around to using such as the mini fridge on the top terrace. Staying at this unit felt like royalty, we definitely weren't hurting for much. The close proximity to the beach and how private it was, and the amazing wading pool in the back were my two favorite parts of the rental. Never even got around to going in the hot tub!
We chose not to rent a vehicle, so everything we did we did by foot. Very doable. Only downside was that none of the bikes worked. But again, doing everything by foot was absolutely manageable and a welcome way to burn off some of the calories we were packing on. We were able to walk to all the restaurants we ate at... some that I would definitely recommend are Tropical Gourmet, Sophias, La Cambija, and Villa Confresi. We were also able to walk into town for the local farmers market and again for the local art walk. One of our favorite ways to walk places was along the beach which was how we got to Tiano Divers, not a far walk at all... We decided to take the snorkeling trip through Tiano Divers to Desecheo Island which was fun but unfortunately for us the day was pretty overcast and the water was pretty choppy. Aside from that, the water color was gorgeous and we did see a good amount of fish! We were also lucky enough to meet a guy who works for Tiano Divers named Eduardo who also does Eco Tours on the side. We linked up with him the next day where for a VERY reasonable fee he came and picked us up at a very close landmark to the rental (since we didn't have a car) and drove us and hour and a half into the mountains to go cliff jumping, and cave exploring. He was by far one of the most educated and knowledgeable people I have ever met, he knew so much about the bats we saw and the vegetation and the culture. He took us to BEAUTIFUL spots, then brought us to his home where his wife cooked us a delicious authentic Puerto Rican meal. He then drove us all the way back to Rincon. This experience was by far our favorite!
All in all we had an amazing vacation, I would highly recommend this rental!
Suite 8 at Wave Coast is located in a safe, friendly residential neighborhood. Ours is the most spacious and private unit, offering a small side yard and bright windows on 3 sides of the building. Although our townhouse is in a quiet neighborhood with a very private beach, you will be within walking distance of lively beach-side restaurants and bars, grocery stores, a pharmacy, playground, Rincon village, a sports complex, and most importantly, great beaches. It's the perfect spot for a romantic get-away or a family vacation. Fruit trees surround us, as does the sound of the ocean (and an occasional rooster!) Above all, our favorite thing about Rincon is the people. Our neighbors are friendly and welcoming.

Brya ebenus
Brya ebenus, also known as espino de sabana, granadillo,[1] cocus wood, cocuswood, and coccuswood, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the Caribbean islands of Cuba and Jamaica.[2] Horticulturally it is known as the Jamaica(n) Rain Tree.
Key Features
The Jamaican Rain Tree is a small drought-resistant tree that can grow around 20–30 feet tall and produces long, drooping branches. It has small, waxy 2-3 parted compound leaves that often appear to be simple. The leaves are densely borne in alternate formation on short spurs that are produced on the main stems [[3]]. The bright yellow flowers develop on a short indeterminate (racemose) inflorescence. They are typically (for the Faboideae subfamily) pea-like and hermaphroditic, with bilateral symmetry and (not so typically) heterostyly. , The fruits are legumes which are common for the Fabaceae family. They appear to be wind dispersed. The fruit does not grow on the Jamaican Rain Tree.
B. ebenus grows in scrublands needing full sunlight and flowers sporadically throughout the year. Grows in a Tropical Terrestrial Biome. As its common name suggests, the Jamaican rain tree is well known to come into bloom almost immediately after a rain event. This is may be an adaptation to produce seeds quickly when unpredictable rains occur. The flowers attract insect visitors such as bees. As in many Faboideae, the Jamaican Rain Tree has bacterial nodules in its roots, which fix atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form, allowing growth in poor soils.
There are four rare Caribbean species of Fabaceae (Faboideae) that were described by Lewis (1988). They are Behaimia cubensis, Belairia mucronata, Herpyza grandiflora & Brya ebenus. Of these four species, Brya ebenus is the only species that is not endemic to Cuba.
Cultivation and uses
B. ebenus is cultivated as an ornamental, for bonsai trees, and for its valuable wood. Cocus wood is a very dense tropical hardwood with excellent musical tone quality, and was used for making flutes in England and France especially during the 19th century.[4] It is still occasionally used for reeded wooden musical instruments such as bagpipes, clarinets and oboes.

Skip to comments.The New First Family of Real Estate
Posted on 07/10/2012 9:54:58 AM PDT by Lorianne
An $85 million L.A. mansion with a 500-worker renovation team. A $70 million London home. Two heiresses are swiftly amassing a global property portfolioand they're part of a new generation of young, ultra-wealthy buyers.
In a real estate shopping spree of epic proportions, the daughters of Formula 1 Racing boss Bernie Ecclestone have snapped up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of high-profile properties in the past 18 months. Tamara Ecclestone, 27, bought a 16,000-square-foot historic brick home across the road from Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Duchess Catherine will soon take up residence, for about $70 million early last year. Her 23-year-old sister, Petra Stunt, paid $85 million for a 57,000-square-foot Los Angeles mansion a few months later. Known as "the Manor," the 14-bedroom, 27-bathroom home was built by Candy Spelling and her late TV producer husband Aaron Spelling.
The sisters are among a small number of ultra-wealthy, young people who are making waves at the very top of the real estate market.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Could not post the photos of the properties.
Must be nice to have a rich daddy.
Good for them and more power to them.
Well...I hope these two rich, good-looking young ladies know that they can never buy blueunicorn6, but they could rent me for awhile.
Seems to me they're wealthier and have more common sense than the Kardashians.... at least they're putting their wealth into something tangible! If we've never heard of them before, that's probably a good thing. They're busy with something other than themselves.
This is quite different from money generated within California or New York, allowing these states to continue to be harsh business climates. Outside money allows for all sorts of odd behavior. It's like an inheritance for the state. This allows liberal behavior since the financial reality is shielded for all by the super wealthy.
Most other states have no such advantage. They have to earn their wealth internally.

After exit conference controversy, State Examiner hopes for legislation to âprotect the integrity'
INDIANAPOLIS — A prosecutor may have found an Evansville city councilwoman's decision to secretly record and then release tape of a meeting with auditors wasn't illegal. But the chief examiner with the Indiana State Board of Accounts maintained his position Monday that law says the information is confidential.
State Examiner Paul Joyce said he hopes to see a push for legislation to "protect the integrity" of Indiana's auditing process.
In the meantime, he's waiting for legal guidance from the Indiana Attorney General's office. He's also limiting meetings in which the contents of an audit are discussed with local government officials to only city clerks or clerk-treasurers.
The meetings, called an exit conference, are traditionally a setting where State Board of Accounts' staff and city officials discuss the findings of an audit behind closed doors before it's publicly released.
Joyce said by email Monday that he hopes local government officials will seek legislation "that will not allow politicians or any public servants to jeopardize the integrity (of) the examination of local units of government." However, he said he remains unsure of how the Indiana General Assembly will react.
Joyce has maintained state law requires the confidentiality of an audit until it's filed and the report becomes official. He said exit conferences are a part of the audit process but not the end of the process. Joyce cited to the Courier & Press last week an Indiana law that states "information derived from or as the result of professional services is confidential and privileged," and that accountant-client privilege is similar to attorney-client privilege.
"It is unfortunate and unfair to those charged with governance are not fully participating in the examination process," Joyce said. "However, until I get some legal guidance from the attorney general, I feel I must temporarily change a long-standing tradition of 'inviting' those charged with governance to exit conferences."
Joyce said if a finding in an audit is directed toward a specific person, then his staff will hold a separate "exit conference" to discuss the issue directly with that person.
Joyce said instead of the special prosecutor assigned to the case, a judge and the state's court system should have decided the legality of releasing the confidential information.
Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, who was critical of Councilwoman Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley's decision to secretly record and release an audio tape of the meeting, said he's not given thought to whether he'd lobby for legislation.
"I certainly believe there is a lot of wisdom in the information being confidential," Winnecke said.
A spokesman for state Attorney General Greg Zoeller said the office will continue to work with the State Board of Accounts regarding "these matters as policies and procedures evolve."
The report by Gibson County Prosecutor Robert Krieg cited the state's lead examiner for the city's audit as saying Brinkerhoff-Riley's actions did not interfere with the audit process.
Krieg wrote: "While serving as special prosecutor, it is improper for me to comment whether I have concluded that Ms. Brinkerhoff-Riley's actions were wrong. I am only to decide whether Ms. Brinkerhoff-Riley violated the law."
On Friday, Brinkerhoff-Riley announced she will seek re-election for her 3rd Ward City Council seat and that she has no regrets regarding the recording.
Staff writers Mark Wilson and John Martin contributed to this report.

"News and views from around the world"
Purchia pointed to two paragraphs on the air enforcement page of the EPA's website. One paragraph said:
It is a violation of the [Clean Air Act] to manufacture, sell, or install a part for a motor vehicle that bypasses, defeats, or renders inoperative any emission control device. For example, computer software that alters diesel fuel injection timing is a defeat device. Defeat devices, which are often sold to enhance engine performance, work by disabling a vehicle's emission controls, causing air pollution. As a result of EPA enforcement, some of the largest manufacturers of defeat devices have agreed to pay penalties and stop the sale of defeat devices.
The other paragraph said:
The CAA prohibits anyone from tampering with an emission control device on a motor vehicle by removing it or making it inoperable prior to or after the sale or delivery to the buyer. A vehicle's emission control system is designed to limit emissions of harmful pollutants from vehicles or engines. EPA works with manufacturers to ensure that they design their components with tamper-proofing, addresses trade groups to educate mechanics about the importance of maintaining the emission control systems, and prosecutes cases where significant or imminent harm is occurring.

Yes, this happened last week…
1. Ted Cruz: We need 100 more like Jesse Helms in the Senate.
Ted Cruz gave a huge shout-out to North Carolina's late unrepentant racist senator, Jesse Helms. Granted, it was at the Heritage Foundation's annual Helms lecture, so he wasn't the only person in the room who worshipped Helms. But he did give a somewhat strange reason for being so fond of the bigot, and wishing there were "100 more" like him in the U.S. Senate.
Apparently the actor John Wayne had praised Helms for being willing to say "Crazy things," Cruz told the audience. "The willingness to say all those crazy things is a rare, rare characteristic in this town, and you know what? It's every bit as true now as it was then."
For those who don't remember, here are some of the fun-filled, wacky things Helms said and did:
One hundred more.
2. Glenn Beck: War is a progressive idea so I am now against it.
Does the radio host and one of the far-right's most hilarious nut-jobs have any core principles? Does he attach real meaning to actual words? Or does he just make it all up as he goes along? Rhetorical questions, yes, but he may have outdone himself this week when he injected some real seriousness into the deadly serious Syria debate. He just up and changed the meaning of the terms. Singlehandedly. He can do that, you know. He's Glenn Beck.
So war is now a progressive idea, Beck says, because, of course, a Democratic president has proposed it. Apparently, the rest of the progressive community was not informed, since most of them, and most Americans oppose military intervention in Syria, but never mind. In other news, up is down and black is white. And good conservatives, like Beck are anti-war. It's a sad day for Beck because he used to thoroughly enjoy how the U.S. would topple dictators and "spread democracy" by doing so, but that was before he realized that this is actually a form of the dreaded progressive thinking.
Sometimes, such mental gymnastics can lead to close encounters with shades of truth, as when the former Fox News personality explained he was against a Syrian invasion because it would be about oil, and that Obama is similar to Dick Cheney in this way.
3. Alex Jones: Globalist cyborgs are coming.
If there is anyone who can outweigh Beck on the looniness scale, that distinction would have to go to conspiracy theorist, fringe conservative radio host Alex Jones. His theory? The effort to avoid a U.S. attack on Syria with diplomacy was actually a United Nations plot for the extinction of the human race, which would be replaced by "globalists" like President Barack Obama who would become cyborgs by using "life-extension technologies."
Hard to argue with that logic, seeing as it is neither logical, nor based in any sort of shared reality. It may be worth noting that Beck seems much more worried about a zombie invasion than one led by cyborgs.
Jones went on to explain that the proposal to bring Syria's chemical weapons under the control of the international community was a way for the U.N. to "come into any country they want, that has any type of weapons systems—and call them WMDs, and then dismantle that country's infrastructure."
That's because the U.N. is at the very head of the globalist conspiracy, he explains. The globalists are "the biggest, most organized, eugenics-based, scientific dictatorship, trans-humanists at the top that plan the extinction of almost everybody and a new species to rise up or humans merged with machines."
"That's their religion, and no one's discussing that," Jones added. "Everyone is going to be deindustrialized, everyone is going to be put back into the Stone Age and controlled. And Obama and the globalists and the robber barons, they're going to fly around in their jetcopters and their Air Forces Ones and their red carpets, like gods above us. And they're going to get the life-extension technologies."
Any questions?
4. Stuart Varney and Monica Crowley: EPA is trying to suffocate children.
Fox News' Monica Crowley and Stuart Varney were appalled, appalled I tell you, when they revealed the shocking news this week that the EPA, the evil government's evil Environmental Protection Agency, is providing free lesson plans for "teachers looking to educate their students on climate change."
"The EPA — the EPA," said Varney. And they're aiming this "propaganda" directly at innocent middle-school children. Of course, these plans have been openly available online for months, but Crowley suspects there is a hidden agenda to this oh-so-sneaky plan. "Are they going to tell these kids to not exhale? Because every time you exhale, that's carbon dioxide."
And, carbon dioxide causes global warming, right? So learn to hold your breath, kids.
Well, no, not exactly. The good news is that very soon, kids will know a good deal more than Fox News does about climate change, although that is not saying much. The EPA materials do explain what carbon is and how it plays an important role in sustaining life on the planet. And how the burning of fossil fuels has led to a surplus of life-supporting gases like carbon dioxide, which has made the planet hotter. And other science-type things that no one at Fox News will ever be caught dead, reading or learning, in their indefatigable drive toward making America, hands-down, the dumbest hot country on the planet.
5. Minnesota archbishop: Satan is behind gay marriage.
Satan has been a very busy guy lately. No, that wasn't him sawing heads off Syrian rebels in the public square or visiting plagues upon the beleaguered New Jersey shore. He had nothing to do with that creep who brands women's vaginas to show he owns them. Mostly, he's been concerning himself with spreading love, same-sex love. Love so strong it wants to get married. Apparently, Satan has not fully read his job description.
Lately, Lucifer has been spending time in Minnesota, where the archbishop of Minneapolis and St. Paul has announced that the devil is responsible for the legalization of marriage equality.
"Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just some of the forces threatening the stability of our civilisation," Rev. John Nienstedt said in a recent speech to the Napa Institute Conference, and posted to the conference's website Tuesday. "The source of these machinations is none other than the Father of Lies. Satan knows all too well the value that the family contributes to the fabric of a good solid society, as well as the future of God's work on earth."
Despite Nienstedt's efforts, and because of Satan's, Minnesota has been issuing same-sex marriage licenses since August.
Mwah hah ha ha ha. Isn't that how the devil laughs?
6. Texas GOP gov. candidate tweets that Wendy Davis is "too stupid to be governor."
From the totally ridiculous to the merely very offensive, the top political advisor to Texas Attorney General/would-be successor to Rick Perry, Greg Abbott has attacked Democratic opponent Wendy Davis' intelligence in a tweet. This follows on the heels of Abbott's tweeting thanks to a supporter for a sexist attack on Davis, which referred to her as "Retard Barbie" so, clearly a very nuanced, high-minded Republican campaign is evolving in the Lone Star state.
Dave Carney is the enlightened strategist in question, and he took the opportunity not just to call Davis stupid, but also to cheer the results of Tuesday's Colorado recall elections. His tweet linked to an article in a conservative Texas blog slamming Davis' gun views, calling her "Abortion Barbie," and dismissing her as "even dumber than her fake blonde hair would imply," Think Progress reported.
7. Internet advice from a nobody who wants to ruin perfect strangers' lives: Dads, don't educate your daughters!
A Louisiana-based certified public accountant cares deeply about the purity of America's young women, and he has figured out a solution to it. Keep them ignorant. In his spare time, the guy generously makes Internet videos filled with unwanted, unasked for and basically awful advice on how to raise your daughters.
First step in saving the family: Don't send your daughters to college. Why? Because she is very likely to have sex there. "This is no small matter we're dealing with here," he implores fathers. "Is a degree worth the loss of your daughter's purity, dignity, and soul?"
If they really want to learn, girls can go to the library or use the Internet, since neither of those can lead to genital contact, he allows.
But why bother getting educated, anyway? Jobs for women are not important, this wise sage continues: "My personal impression is that the day-to-day grind of a job is below the dignity of women. In a way, it is like being a hired hand, as a result of the fall and the penalty for original sin."
This originally appeared on Robert Reich's blog.
Now the party's targeting Obama's choices for three D.C. Circuit Court nominees — and there's no end in sight
Before January 2009, the filibuster was used only for measures and nominations on which the minority party in the Senate had their strongest objections. Since then, Senate Republicans have filibustered almost everything, betting that voters will blame Democrats for the dysfunction in Congress as much as they blame the GOP.
So far the bet is paying off because the press has failed to call out the GOP – which is now preventing votes on the President's choices for three D.C. Circuit Court nominees, the Labor Department and the EPA, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, and the National Labor Relations Board. (The GOP has blocked all labor board nominees, some to whom the President gave recess appointments, but he's now asking approval for all.)
The GOP has already violated hundreds of years of Senate precedent by filibustering the nomination of a Cabinet secretary, Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense, and using the filibuster to delay John Brennan's nomination as CIA Director.
Harry Reid may now be able to summon 51 votes to abolish the filibuster, at least for cabinet officials and other high-level policy makers. But that shouldn't be considered a victory. It's a sad commentary on where we've come to.
When I was in the cabinet I worked closely with several great Republican senators, such as Mark Hatfield of Oregon and Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas, who were willing to compromise, and who cared more about preserving the institutions of government than getting their way. Even Orren Hatch and John McCain in those days were more concerned about the institutional integrity of the U.S. government than about any particular policy difference they may have had with the other side.
But the new breed – Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Sam Brownback, Jeff Sessions, David Vitter, to name a few – don't give a rat's ass about how or whether our government functions. In fact, they give every indication that they'd rather it didn't.
I can't help wondering why is it that Republicans who do want our governing institutions and processes to remain strong don't stand up to the fanatics? What happened to Hatch and McCain, or to Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, and Lindsay Graham? Are they so frightened of losing to a fanatic in the next primary that they've been silenced into submission? Why don't former Republican senators who lost to the fanatics, such as Indiana's Richard Lugar, speak up?
As has been noted many times in history, it is not so much the viciousness or carelessness of the bad people but the silence of the good people that brings societies to the brink, or beyond.
First they want to have poor kids clean bathrooms and mop the halls of the schools they attend, forgetting about the stigma and havoc on one's self-esteem. They want to get rid of child protective laws so that the aforementioned and other draconian proposals can be implemented.
Now this…
As ThinkProgress has been reporting for some time, the corporate front group American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has been colluding with the billionaire Koch brothers to privatize government and eliminate environmental regulations that interfere with profits.
GOP legislators in many states have given ALEC free reign to write anti-health care reform and anti-environment legislation. Now, ALEC is fighting to kill Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules limiting the sale of rat poisons that pose a serious health threat to children and the ecosystem.
A top representative for the ultra-conservative group said kids eating rat poison is an "acceptable risk" that does not justify government intervention:
"There are certain levels of acceptable risk in society," says Todd M. Wynn, director of the ALEC Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force, in an interview about the EPA rules with the Heartland Institute's Heartlander website. "And parents play an important role by weighing the potential risks and benefits of using a product."
"Unfortunately, EPA expands its reach into the American economy more and more each and every year," Wynn said. "This year it will be d-Con, but next year another useful product will be burdened by additional regulations or banned outright from the market." […]
Aaron Colangelo, an attorney for the NRDC…told the Center for Media and Democracy that "there is not an undue economic burden associated with reformulating these products," pointing out that the rest of the industry had complied with the new rules without adverse economic impact. Additionally, he said, "the health care costs for treating these kids certainly outweigh the economic costs of reformulation."
The proposal by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, now officially a GOP presidential candidate, for President Obama to "put a moratorium on all regulations" seems like pure, unadulterated insanity.
That would mean no food inspections; no clean air; Wall Street repeating the same horrible things that nearly brought us to the brink of an economic disaster which was averted by a bail out. Perry wants to try no regulations at all…for a while!
This kind of talk is insanity!
Today, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) issued the first policy position of his presidential campaign by asking the White House to issue a "moratorium on regulations across this country":
We're calling today on the president of the United States to put a moratorium on regulations across this country, because his regulations, his EPA regulations are killing jobs all across America.
Watch it:
"We're sending out a request today asking President Obama to put a moratorium on all regulations," Perry said on WHO radio in Iowa, recorded live by ThinkProgress.
Under such a moratorium, the Food and Drug Administration would stop approving new drugsand preventing human experimentation; the USDA would stop checking for food safety; the EPA would stop monitoring for poisons in drinking water; the Library of Congress would stoploaning materials to blind people; the NTSB would stop investigating airplane accidents; HHS would end Medicare payments; no more patents, copyrights, or trademarks would be issued; DHS would stop protecting chemical facilities from terrorist attacks; the Treasury would stopprinting currency; financial sanctions on hostile nations like North Korea and Iran would end; and the Federal Reserve System would shut down.
Perry's "moratorium on regulations" would mean a literal end to the rules of law in the United States. At least it would also mean that all of President George W. Bush's midnight regulationsfavoring polluters and industry abuses would also be lifted.

Congress settled on $38.5 billion in spending reductions late Friday, mere hours before the government would have shut down. Endangered wolves are on the chopping block. What else?
High-speed rail
President Obama agreed to a $1.5 billion cut on a policy close to his heart, says Sam Stein at The Huffington Post: The planned national high-speed rail system. This represents a "major hit to one of the president's favorite transportation priorities," and only strengthens critics' suspicion that high speed rail is a "pie-in-the-sky policy."
Endangered wolves
Wolves in Idaho and Montana will be removed from the endangered species list as part of the budget deal on the environment. While that's "bad news for the northern Rockies," says Glenn Hurowitz at The Huffington Post, the Democrats fared slightly better on environmental funding as a whole. The EPA's funding was cut by $1.49 billion, not the $3 billion originally proposed by Republicans, and the agency will continue to regulate carbon emissions.
The United Nations
The bill cuts $377 million from the U.S. contribution to the United Nations. That may not seem like a significant number in the big picture, says Howard LaFranchi at The Christian Science Monitor, but it will have a marked effect on the U.N. The U.S. contributes nearly a quarter of the U.N.'s total budget, and Obama is requesting $3.5 billion for the U.N. in his 2012 budget. A "wall of Republican resistance" is likely to spur further cuts to U.N. spending.
Abortions in Washington, D.C.
Planned Parenthood may have been spared, but the GOP did manage to end taxpayer-funded abortions in the District of Columbia. The Mayor of Washington D.C., Vincent Gray, was arrested Monday on the streets of the capitol during a protest against the provision.
Summer school Pell Grants
On education, the president's "Race to the Top" initiative was left unscathed, but the Pell Grant program will be trimmed. Scrapping summer school grants and preventing students from using two Pell grant awards simultaneously will save $493 million this year, and more than $35 billion over the next decade.
The Children's Health Insurance Program
The government will save $3.5 billion by scrapping bonus payments to states that successfully enroll large numbers of previously-ininsured children in Medicaid. Republicans were unsuccessful in pushing for an end to all funding for President Obama's signature health care reform law.
The Joint Strike Fighter jet
The Pentagon is one of the few government departments that did not see an overall funding reduction — in fact, it will receive a $5 billion increase — but the bill does slash $4.2 billion in military earmarks, including funds for the Joint Strike Fighter jet engine that would have been built in John Boehner's Ohio district.
Charles and David Koch, the owners of the country's second-largest private corporation, are libertarians of long standing, who contend that government regulations, taxes and subsidies stifle individual initiative and hamper American competitiveness. In recent years, the Kochs have played an increasingly public role as financial angels for conservative causes, politicians and foundations.
What's not so well-known is the activity of Koch Industries in the trenches in Washington, where a Center for Public Integrity examination of lobbying disclosure files and federal regulatory records reveals a lobbying steamroller for the company's interests, at times in conflict with its public pose.
The money that Koch (pronounced "coke") has spent on lobbying in Washington has soared in recent years, from $857,000 in 2004 to $20 million in 2008. The Kochs then spent another $20.5 million over the next two years to influence federal policy, as the company's lobbyists and officials sought to mold, gut or kill more than 100 prospective bills or regulations.

New York Times:
ANOTHER weekend, another grass-roots demonstration starring Real Americans who are mad as hell and want to take back their country from you-know-who. Last Sunday the site was Lower Manhattan, where they jeered the "ground zero mosque." This weekend, the scene shifted to Washington, where the avatars of oppressed white Tea Party America, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, were slated to "reclaim the civil rights movement" (Beck's words) on the same spot where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream exactly 47 years earlier.
Vive la révolution!
There's just one element missing from these snapshots of America's ostensibly spontaneous and leaderless populist uprising: the sugar daddies who are bankrolling it, and have been doing so since well before the "death panel" warm-up acts of last summer. Three heavy hitters rule. You've heard of one of them, Rupert Murdoch. The other two, the brothers David and Charles Koch, are even richer, with a combined wealth exceeded only by that of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett among Americans. But even those carrying the Kochs' banner may not know who these brothers are.

Ground Zero group carries on non-violent legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
BANGOR Carrying banners with the words of Martin Luther King Jr., members of Ground Zero followed the slain non-violent civil rights leaders actions Monday afternoon.
The group of about 30 converged on Naval Submarine Base Bangor with colorful banners to protest the Trident nuclear weapons housed at the base. The Trident nuclear submarines has been the focus of anti-nuclear protesters since it opened 25 years ago. For the third consecutive year, Martin Luther Kings birthday also became a demonstration day.
Another annual event has become the peaceful arrest of several group members by Kitsap County Sheriffs deputies after they blocked the base entrance.
Protesters were told they had two minutes to clear the area. Those who did not were arrested without incident.
During a gateside vigil beforehand, the group stood in a circle and read in unison Martin Luther King Jr.s words.
Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. It is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the one who wields it. It is a sword that heals, the group recited.
Brian Watson, one of Ground Zeros leaders, also read a few Trident statistics into a microphone which broadcast his message to the soldiers nearby.
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 150,000 people, he said. And the total cost of the Trident program through 2032 is an estimated $170 billion.
The group was then asked to sign a peace pledge that was affixed to the bases chain link fence. They asked Navy personnel to take that pledge and show it to the commanding officers.
Eleven-year-old Audrey Smith of Seattle made her pledge for peace at the subdued rally. She attended the protest with her mother because she believes in what the group stands for.
I feel Ive done something good for the community, she said as she watched the others block the main gate. Although their certain arrest seemed pretty scary, to her, she joined them in singing We Shall Overcome.
Although they were arrested, the protesters know they are likely to be released. The Kitsap County Prosecutors Office has not been pursuing previous cases because of the cost to the county and the predictability of the verdict.
Ground Zero was founded in 1977. Mondays protest was part of a day-long workshop on non-violence held at the organizations headquarters.

Southend United sign Piotr Malarczyk on loan
Southend United has announced the signing of Polish defender Piotr Malarczyk from Championship side Ipswich Town on an emergency loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old defender joined Ipswich Town in August of 2015, making his debut the next against Brighton & Hove Albion, where his side lost at home 2-3. Malarczyk has made only six appearances for the side this season. The Polish defender is favoured at the centre back, where he supports current first team defenders, Adam Barrett and Adam Thompson.
Southend United's manager Phil Brown was ecstatic about the new signing.
If you want a defender with the right mentality, the right attitude you won't go far wrong from Piotr. He brings that steely mentality to the side. He's a strong character who's vocal and has got a presence.
Southend currently sits in ninth in Sky Bet League One. The side is only three points away from a playoff spot. With the season coming down to the final matches, Southend will hope their new signing Malarczyk will give them that push they need to seek promotion.
