"It's much harder to be a mom who is an actress than a mom who works a desk job

Nope she doesn't know shit about real life.ReplyCancel
This topic won't end in complete and utter carnage.
*puts in mouth guard*
*hides in foxhole with @Sugar*
Try paying for daycare while working an office job. Not having nannies written into your contracts etc. She is a fool.ReplyCancel
shes trying to get sympathy for the breakup but sh'es so insanely far removed from real life that people will side with Chris because God Bless he's escaped lol
and ya shes a idiotReplyCancel
Is there room for me?!ReplyCancel
Working actresses maybe.ReplyCancel
"It's much harder to be a mom with a stick up her ass than one who enjoys life". You're welcome, Goopy, fixed it for you.ReplyCancel
I think she needs to get an impartial adviser to read and edit all her comments before these are published to prevent looking like a complete twat [UK term of endearment)ReplyCancel
Long time lurker, very infrequent commenter. Just have to say,
Can someone please explain to me the appeal of Goop? I find her to be a fairly talented actress and marginal singer who is neither beautiful nor striking in any way. While she has a lovely smile, I see someone with stringy over bleached hair, a somewhat horsey face and a voice that may get a short solo in the church choir but that is it. She has a nice athletic figure, but is not at all sexy or voluptuous. And the only thing fruitier than her kid's name is anyone thinking she has anything relevant to say about life or lifestyle. What am I missing?ReplyCancel
She also was making fun of women who can not afford high-end designer purses. I believe she basically called them trashy and stupid.ReplyCancel
Mistymoo — you know how the radio plays a song over and over again until you sing along with it, even though you hate it? Goop the twunt is like that. She just keeps on showing up in the press with her elevated notions of self-importance and people eventually get used to her and she stays "popular".ReplyCancel
NO COMMENT. I WONT.ReplyCancel
LOL!!! Yes!ReplyCancel
No one suffers as Gwyneth suffers !!ReplyCancel
Hohoho 🙂 Ive seen already this type of Mom who faints after spending one hour alone with her kids. fuck herReplyCancel
i think her brain consciously uncoupled a few years ago.
-saith the mom who lurksReplyCancel
Dearest Poopy:
Bitch, PLEASE. STFU and STFD.
The World
Not justifying the comment, but maybe she means it's because our children are not in the spotlight, but the children of famous people are? She has a habit of not thinking before speaking, but my theory sounds logical to me. In that sense, she is right because we aren't under a microscope. People like Gwyneth put themselves under the microscope, have kids and then complain about their choicesReplyCancel
I love Shallow Hal.ReplyCancel
Really?? Why don't we swap. You be a single mum working a desk job, paying £130 a week childcare fees and worrying about paying the mortgage and other bills on your meagre wage while still making sure your kid is well turned out and looked after and I'll be a pompous up my own ass know it all cow with millions of quid and nannies galore.ReplyCancel
I reserve this comment for Goop only. All real hard working women forgive me.
Delusional waspish cunt. What a self involved clueless sow.ReplyCancel
There are some celebs that I fantasize about torturing. Goop is one of them. She's as worthless as Courtney Stodden. Please just die, just go away and die.ReplyCancel
I wish someone could possibly take a video of her taking a shit. I would love to watch Perfect Gwen strain to get a big, hard macro-biotic shit out.ReplyCancel
On another note… I adore this community. The good and the not. So full of life. Not GOOP shite.ReplyCancel
I would love for Enty to reveal what her co-stars really think of Goop.
I bet that would be a good read.ReplyCancel
This kind of zero-basis, pointed condescension deserves no attention. An ill-informed, inappropriately self-superior twat is still just a twat after all.
This twat gets no more of my energy than would a McDonald's drive through twat.
Fortunately, no energy is required for me to type "whose bed did your husband prefer, Gwynnie? Oh, ANYone's you say? Let's examine that".
See? Completely effortless.
Chris is gonna win this just by being quiet.ReplyCancel
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, how the hell would she know? She just needs to permanently shut her mouth.ReplyCancel
Goop needs to GFHReplyCancel
Must. Control. Fist. Of. Death.ReplyCancel
Fuck you, you ugly-inside-and-out piece of shit. Who is raising your kids? I raised all three of mine with help from my husband. No nannies, no maids, no insane diets. I let my kids eat CANDY! AND MEAT! AND DRINK SODA! Ain't none of them gonna write a tell-all book about me.
But I will buy your kids' book about you.
And fuck you, Graydon Carter for letting this stupid bitch tell you how to run a magazine.ReplyCancel
She can bite my shiny metal ass.
She should try getting a desk job, making a hair above minimum wage and living on it, and care for her own children to boot (daycare instead of nannies). Only THEN can she fucking talk.ReplyCancel
Thank you! She touched a nerve lolReplyCancel
Film actress it's probably true. It's why so many actresses try TV while their children are small. So they can get home every night to be with their kids. I read a long interview with Judi Dench who said she started doing nothing but stage work while her daughter was growing up so she would be home at consistent times & be there every day. She only returned to film after her daughter left home.ReplyCancel
It's probably hard in a different way? *ducks*ReplyCancel
Not that the full quote is much better, but she said this in context of talking about having to leave your kids to go shoot on location for extended periods of time or filming 14 hrs/day so you don't get to see them much anyway. Someone working a 9 to 5 wouldn't have to deal with the separation and distance, they would have their routine and "quality time" or whatever.
Of course, 9 to 5 people do that year-round versus in lumps with nothing but free time in between. Plus, they're only earning a fraction of Paltrow's salary.
So, from the "seeing your kids" angle, I understand what she is trying to say. But she obviously has no clue what a someone in the daily grind deals with and juggles.ReplyCancel
Shouldn't have read this while taking a sip of tea. Choked a wee bit while laughing.ReplyCancel
Yay! It's the Goop Death Wish party. I swear this betch be trying to get herself killed with the dumb shit running out of her mouth lately. @Gayeld is bringing the popcorn and I'll bring the bud. We can all hotbox her Malibu palace and litter it with junk food. This got me really excited.ReplyCancel
Oh, puhhhh-lease give me your millions and let me see how I struggle through your daily life…….What's that saying? "God will never give you more than you can handle."
Yep. Lemme have a crack at your life, Gwyneth. I'll letchaReplyCancel
That is the second time I have heard the word twunt today.
It just might be my new favorite word.ReplyCancel
That makes perfect sense. I mean an actress mom works maybe a couple of months a year while a mom at a desk job is working every day. Someone like our Gwyneth has nannies and bodyguards and drivers cooks and personal assistants. A working mom has daycare if she's lucky. After all it is SO much harder when you have to sneak around and cheat on your husband and make an a$$ out of yourself every day than working for a living and trying to scrape by. Poor Gwyneth. We all need to be a little more understanding.ReplyCancel
I lReplyCancel
Stupid phone
I love this, Meg!!!!! Sending a cyber high five!!!ReplyCancel
I'm not agreeing with her. I'd just like to add that *most* actors and actresses do not earn enough (without an outside job like, say a part-time desk job or wait staff position) to live on.
What she meant was that it's harder to be a well-paid, well-known actress/mother than a nobody desk-job-having/mother. *long pause* And that's just malarkey.ReplyCancel
@bored soccer mom….Twunt is my favourite word lately and exactly the discriptive insult I was going to use against that wankstain of a woman.
Goop needs to eat a fucking brownie with calories and a decent fat content and then find the directions that can lead her out of her own perfectly bleached arsehole…..ReplyCancel
Somebody should remind Gwyneth of how her godfather, Steven Spielberg, was raised by a mother who worked a desk job. All while never complaining how hard it was and last I checked, they all turned out just fine.ReplyCancel
So how do you really feel about Goopy, Megley?! You have my vote for winning the interwebz todayReplyCancel
Dumb b*tch! I would like to slap her for all working women. I am fortunate enough that my husband lets me be a stay at home, but I see all my working friends and it is tough as hell to juggle all the roles they have and not have the money to have the chef, the nanny, personal secretary, publicist, stylist, trainer, hired fuck-assistant to take their(women's) place with their husbands, because they are so tired from the daily routine and challenges they(women) don't even want to think about sex.
Dumb b*tch!
Whoever above mentioned wanting to see a film of GOopie taking a sh*t, go over to YouTube and watch her painful Glee performance. I'd rather see someone doing something natural, even uncomfortable than that cringe-inducing vomitus attempt at sexy. That chick cluck jabarwacky moving around is from the Katie Holmes school of dance, and the cat screech vocals aren't far from the same mortifying mess of self-indulgence, narcissism and over-inflated ego dissociation from reality.ReplyCancel
If it's so easy,can you pay my daycare fees bitch? They're $79 per day,per child. (I live in Australia).
Let's swap? You spent your days doing the school runs,working,leaving work and pissing off your bosses because you have a 5 year old with non verbal autism that has to go to 3 different therapy programs every week and then spend the rest of the time fighting to get her into a decent school which is the whole reason you're even back at work in the first place,so you can afford all the stuff she needs while you miss out on seeing your baby sons toddler years.
Seriously Fishsticks,go drown in flax seed oil.ReplyCancel
That'd be brown rice, Murielle, GOOP wouldn't be caught dead with white rice…. It just runs to sugar in your body. She said that on Oprah.ReplyCancel
* turns to sugarReplyCancel
"@Mistymoo I think she owes a lot of her career success to blowing Harvey Weinstein.
Some other Harvey Girls: Mira Sorvino, Gretchen Mol, Jessica Alba, Sienna Miller, Uma Thurman"
Really?! Goop and Mira are Hollywood royalty because of their parents, are they not?
Speaking of which, I wonder what Blythe thinks when she hears the stuff that Goop says. Does she support her? Roll her eyes? Barely notice?
(Also? If she's eating as many veggies as she claims to, she ain't havin' any problems shitting. Trust me.)
I just can't hate her for some reason; I read GOOP, actually. I think she meant that it's hard because of travel and long hours and publicity, and I'm not certain that she meant it to be as douchey as it sounds.
*ducks and starts playing Go Fish with TTM*ReplyCancel
If this quote is taken out of context ( which likely is the case ) then Goop gets a pass from me. I still sort of like her. She's the perfect Pepper Potts .. And that fucking movie Sliding Doors was my savior when I was going through my divorce – I think Gwenny will always hold a place in my heart because of it.. Although that's more my personal experience rather than her acting prowess ..
If she did actually say this in comparison to working moms – she's making it difficult for me to keep holding her in esteem.
AKM..I met Paul Sorvino and he is an upstanding guy. Mira doesn't say shit like this nor does she tout this wonderful life. Not bitching at you just adding context.
The first thing I thought when I read this was "Fuck YOU!"
For the mom above (and others who haven't said anything) with a child with special needs my heart goes out to you. I have friends with a child who has autism and what they go through to get him adequate education is bloody nothing short of amazing.
And for all you moms here I applaud you. I don't have chirrens and never wanted them. It's a very difficult job. I saw my mother raise us 3 without any $ support in the 70's. We never saw her because she worked 3 jobs just to put food on the table.
This delusional beyotch has no idea. I would love to see her in a "Trading Places" situation. Wouldn't that be precious?ReplyCancel
And here we go! I am going to blame her extreme hunger and complete ignorance of anything that is considered normal living for her saying this. So is she willing to give up her opulent lifestyle and try out a few months as a desk job single mom? I bet she'd pass on that.ReplyCancel
The day she works a regular desk job, unappreciated and unrecognized will be the day she can make this comment. Even understanding her context, makes it 0.0001% better. Her kids are still well cared for while she's away and she's compensated in the millions for her anguish.
This page especially has made me truly enjoy watching her character's misfortune onscreen:
*no Iron Man, don't save her*
Seven and Contagion have a different kind of impact, too, it seems.ReplyCancel
Goopster's life is so hard, she apparently just announced that she's taking a break from acting now. Is she fucking Chris Evans already?ReplyCancel
She should share her opinions more often because people really enjoy them.ReplyCancel
she's in the Bahamas right now..
chew on that you twunt haters..
"shuffle up ttm"
Wow,thank you so much.Thats lovely.I was in a bad mood when I wrote this (my husbands in the military and they denied him leave for one our daughters important appointments) but I stand by what I said haha.She's a silly woman to think she has it so tough.My husband misses out on his kids because he's serving the country,he's not off making a movie and being catered to every minute.
Bitch needs some perspective.ReplyCancel
Mmmmkay ..! Is it because "Actress Mom" isn't quite sure which expressive face to display when real life occurs?
Go over there and STFU…JUST SAYIN' !
I think she is giving voice to what a lot of wealthy people think but won't say outside their circle of friends. She's just dumb enough to say it out loud.ReplyCancel
@Sherry – I love Mira and Paul Sorvino. I wasn't talking smack about Mira; I was saying "how can she be a "Harvey girl" (i.e. blowing Harvey Weinstein) when she's got that pedigree?" She wouldn't have to do that with Paul as her dad.
(I was quoting what mooshki said originally. Reread mooshki's comment and then mine.)ReplyCancel
To recap:
mooshki said, "@Mistymoo I think she owes a lot of her career success to blowing Harvey Weinstein. Some other Harvey Girls: Mira Sorvino, Gretchen Mol, Jessica Alba, Sienna Miller, Uma Thurman"
And *I* said, "Really?! Goop and Mira are Hollywood royalty because of their parents, are they not?" Meaning "why would they have to blow anybody?!"ReplyCancel
wow, gwyneth, not only are you super relatable, you also managed to win over my sympathy.
so can you shut up now?ReplyCancel

Why I Chose a Westminster M.Div.
BY DANIEL SCHROCK (M.Div. 2011)
Rev. Daniel Schrock is now Pastor of Third Reformed Presbyterian Church.
I will never forget the sense of joy and solemn responsibility that swept over me as I walked into the graduation commencement after completing my M.Div. I lined up with my brothers and sisters who had run and finished the race of seminary, and we were now ready to face a lifetime of ministry. We marched into an auditorium singing "How Firm a Foundation." I was struck by how appropriate the words of the hymn were for the occasion. "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent word?" Westminster is an institution committed to Scripture in every classroom as the norm for faith and life. Above every other consideration, it was this steadfast commitment of the seminary that drew me to it as a prospective student. And it was this commitment that never disappointed me throughout my studies there. Westminster is a place dedicated to producing servants of Christ's church who are firmly rooted in Scripture and equipped to handle it in the original Greek and Hebrew.
But four other distinctives of Westminster tipped the scales in my consideration of seminaries: its scholarship, its approach to practical theology and counseling, its apologetics, and its redemptive historical approach to preaching and biblical interpretation.
I became interested in Reformed theology in my college years. As I read more and more books, I began to realize that the vast majority of the scholars whose work I loved to read taught at Westminster. I looked at the collection of faculty that was at Westminster and knew that these were the men I wanted to study under. The scholarship produced by the seminary has consistently led the way in the confessionally Reformed Church for nearly a century. Furthermore, I knew that the school was renown for the academic demands it made upon its students. I decided that if I were to take up a call to be a shepherd over the sheep for whom Christ laid down his life, I needed to be rigorously trained to do so.
However, despite caricatures I had heard of the seminary, I knew that Westminster could not be what some had told me it was, a place that produced scholars and not pastors. I knew that this characterization did not fit because of Westminster's association with CCEF. The campus ministry I was a part of in college lived and breathed the practical theology that came out of CCEF. I love the ways in which CCEF approaches Christian living. It carefully navigates two dangerous pitfalls. First, it stands against an approach to counseling that grabs whatever is blowing in the popular winds of secular psychology, baptizes it with Christian lingo, and then forces it into ministry. CCEF, rather, seeks to do counseling in a way that takes its most fundamental assumptions about who humans are and what they need from Scripture, first and foremost. This commitment is what causes them to avoid a second pitfall. Much of Christian counseling in the end amounts to bald moralism. CCEF, however, is committed to rooting exhortation in the Gospel. It seeks to point broken sinners not to a method, but to a person, Christ, who redeems us out of the mire of our sin. What greater practical skill is there for pastors to develop?
Having completed my M.Div., I now appreciate the fact that the seminary has refused to set up the false dichotomy between scholarship and pastoral development. It sees these as two vital and complimentary components of what it exists to do as a seminary. It exists to produce men and women rigorously equipped to handle God's word in the service of his kingdom.
The third thing which drew me to Westminster was its approach to apologetics. During my second year as an undergrad, my campus minister began reading through Van Til with me. It turned my Christian thinking upside down, or I should say right side up. As a philosophy student, I was led by Van Til to see the vanity of any philosophy that was not truly a philosophy according to Christ and the vanity of any apologetic approach that functionally ceded to man his rational autonomy. I knew I wanted to study under the leading Van Til scholars in the world and that the majority of them were at Westminster.
Lastly, I wanted to learn how to interpret and preach Scripture in a Christ-centered way. I knew that since its founding Westminster has been one of the fountainheads of the Christ-centered hermeneutical skills and instincts I wanted to develop. The redemptive-historical model of preaching and interpretation taught in every classroom at Westminster has equipped me to do the most essential thing any minister of the Gospel must do: preach Christ. Westminster has trained me to preach Christ from all of Scripture and to preach Christ in the light of all of Scripture. I have learned to do this not in a way that is contrived but rather in a way consistent with what is actually present in a particular text. This seminary has taught me not to preach a truncated Gospel, but the multifaceted jewel of the whole counsel of God.
These are the reasons I chose Westminster, and I have not been disappointed. Since being here, I have been impressed by just how deeply the scholarship of Westminster is driven by a desire to serve the Church. What's more, I have come to understand that at the deepest level Biblical Counseling, Van Tillian apologetics, and redemptive-historical preaching and hermeneutics are driven by the same motive. They are driven by Peter's response to Christ, "To whom should we go? You alone have the words of eternal life."

All 500 employees made it out safely, according to Organic Valley's executive marketing director.
As of 9 Tuesday night, the fire was still going.
The La Farge fire chief says strong winds, solar panels on the roof and thick windows are making it difficult to put out. He is unsure of a cause and says Wednesday is the earliest to expect one.
Employees will not return to work Wednesday.

That's all the native community needs..... anothor woman beater
Is Chris Brown Native American? Grammy-Winning Singer Tweets Heritage, Names Tribe
ICTMN Staff
Hugely successful (and yes, controversial) singer Chris Brown sent out a Tweet an hour ago revealing that he has Native ancestry. Brown is a multi-platinum selling artist whose 2011 album F.A.M.E. won the 2012 Grammy Award for best R&B album.
Brown was born in Tappahannock, Virginia, which is not inconsistent with the tribal affiliation he has, apparently, just learned of. And the winning tribe is...

Look, can we re-word this? Howsabout "sent out a Tweet an hour ago ALLEGING that he has Native ancestry." And while we're at it, let's add, in addition to Brown being a multi-platinum selling artist whose claiming to be/tweeting Native American, he's also demonstrated himself to be capable of assault crimes upon women and then continue to whine about how rough he's had it. Fine, forgive him, whatever. So, should this be true about Pamunkey, this makes him then part Indian and part asshole. I can guess which part. C. Hermanex Directions, Int. Phoenix, AZ / San Deigo, CA
Right chumash1959? Do I know you? And he's paid his dues, made his amends whatever, I guess I don't want my personal failures to live forever when people refer to me or think of me, but still... I guess it comes back to the old ndn saying: "No one is useless: They can always be used as a bad example." Cx
There are a lot of us considered African-Americans (because of the way we look) that have Native American ancestory. My grandfather on my mother's side is of the Lenape. My father is not African-American at all, he is Native American and Frecnh decent. I am not sure of which tribe, I am still researching that. Because of my maternal grandmother and the luck of genetics, I have the features of African-Americans. It was a vision that made me look at my ancestory. Before that I fell into the way I looked, neglecting a major part of who I am. Now I support and celebrate all that I am.
Glad to know that Chris has found his Heritage... NOW, the bad news... according to the Federal Government... WE DON'T EXIST...! Two stories in one week from ICT regarding the Virginia Indians... This one and the one concerning the Lovings... How about a series revealing the DIMINISHMENT regarding the Virginia Nations and the fact that the Indian Community, as a whole, has allowed this travesty on non-recognition to continue...?
Hey Chris what tribe in Africa are you from? you act and look more African than Indian.Personally I feel that if you are not born and raised by your tribe and know their/your customs you shouldn't be able to claim to be an Indian
... and what you said is more like a Klansman than an NDN. So what country in Europe are your ancestors from?
In my humble opinion he is an Indian. For reasons of history that are specific to the way Indians were treated in Virginia his recent confirmation should not be held against him. Those historical reasons come down to the Virginian tendency to label anyone with any African heritage as just black. Then to enforce that with laws, even going so far as to change records that have the race "indian" to "colored". His not knowing before was not his fault. Inspite of my name and some ancestry from VA tribes I cannot speak for them only about them. I am mostly Potawatomi and a midwesterner. Here the "One drop rule" was only ever a custom not a law.
I wonder if the Pamunkey's claim him ? What proof does Chris Brown have that he has lineage from these people ? If you are Indian you know it from birth. It's not something you "just found out".
Hontas or Katrina Rose whatever name you so desire to use.A person can not become an Indian by researching them on the inter net. Making up a culture to be a part of is only lying about who you are or is it revealing who you really are.Is it iconic that even if a person is highly educated a true bigot ultimately resorts to name calling.
I just joined this site and I want to make a comment about this chris brown, its time for Our people to understand, Our fore Fathers our Ancestors settled this land 1000s of years ago. They lived and died to win Their freedom. I'm tired of blacks like brown and knowles and others claiming to be one of us. Where were the blacks when We had all of Our rights taken away?,where were the blacks when We were being locked on reservations? compaired to Us how many blacks did the white man kill? how many blacks had their children chopped into pieces and left for the animals to eat? how many pregnant black women had their babies cut from their womb and held in front of the white mans dogs? and don't forget there was a black calvery. IF WE DON'T WAKE UP WE WILL SOON BECOME LIKE THE WHITE MAN,THEY ALREADY RAPE OUR WOMAN LIKE THE WHITE MAN DID IN THE YEARS OF OUR FORE FATHERS.

A fan for all seasons
Well, Mr. Lung, it looks as though we have found another area in which we agree. However, I want to expand a little on your post and apply your thoughts on the Cub menace to a wider baseball underclass.
See, in the two plus years I've lived in New York, I have had the opportunity to see exactly one Yankees game. Now, this is not because I hate the Yankees (although I do) and it's not because I don't want to go (because I do). Basically, there's a problem of supply and demand when it comes to the Evil Empire and that makes it impossible for a fan of the game to see that game played in the house that Ruth built. Instead, before the season even begins, the whole raft of tickets is bought out by corporate douchebags and trust fund teat ******* socialites.
I'm sure you see this all the time in Chicago. If you're actually able to score a ticket on the North Side, the stadium is inevitably filled with suit-wearing, cell phone chatting i-bankers and this:
It's the same in the Bronx and I dare say this same phenomenon is probably even showing up in places like your beloved St. Louis. The bandwagoneer has taken over and driven out the people who actually care.
Now, I should make an important point here. Even though I detest the Yankees, I do not detest all of their fans. People who appreciate the game but just happen to have the geographical misfortune of being born in the New York Metropolitan area or the North Side of Chicago should not have that held against them. However, when this true fan bring along his pink hat wearing girlfriend and she gets sloppy drunk by the third inning and starts hitting on the suit wearing cell phone talker, then we have a problem. Feel free to compare the functionality of your Blackberries. Just go over to the Cubbie Bear and do it where I don't have to listen.
P.S. A little something to warm your heart:

Fantastic Entry!!'
What do you think about the new warm up jackets compared to last year.
The Ultimate Baseball Collector
Very well said. I can countenance a gal in a pink hat, if she's in jeans and a T shirt, but Lady Cashmere must be stopped out front, right at the gate – and her husband's season tickets revoked.
I dont crash her dam* tea parties in my stained (but surprisingly versatile) athletic shorts.
The OBAMASOX! Now that's the TICKET!
Hillary's a Cubs fan anyway, now we know how the stars align.
If I had to make a list of things that I hate in baseball, 2-10 would be Roger Clemens. Number one would be pink hats.
I know of the evil of pink hats. Remember, I'm a Red Sox fan. Sometime around 2003, people started to think it was ok to wear pink sports merchandise in the great city of Boston. It's not ok. Is it ok to paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa? Is it ok to graffiti-tag the Brooklyn Bridge? No. You're defiling something beautiful. Sit down and shut up.
The only good thing to come out of pink hats is the term "Pinkhat." It's come to mean anybody who speaks on something without the sufficient knowledge to do so. All these people who became Red Sox fans because 2004 "WAS SO MAGICAL!" Pop quiz, Johnny Come Lately: who was Spike Owen? Oh, wait, you don't know? Get out of my sight before I do something truly biologically frightening to your hat.
If I had my way, all these pink hat, bandwagon, CEO, espresso drinking, leaving in the seventh inning, frontrunning dingleberries should be loaded into a cattle car, which would then be set on fire and pushed off the Grand Canyon. Justice.
Ugggggh…. don't even get me started on bandwagon-ers.
I dealy with them all through september and October in Denver, and all my friends who in years past had said "Rockies ****! Why do you where their hat?!"
I wanted to say "Screw you!" but just shrugged and moved on, but now they all claim to be "Rockies fans"- at least until their next couple losing months.
They are actually the reason i changed my 2nd favorite team, the Red Sox, to my 1st, so i wouldn't have to deal with this **** again. In the days leading up to the World Series, i just couldn't get my self to cheer for the Rockies, and HAD to go with my previos favorite team in the days before I went to 15+ games a year for the Rockies.
I still have to deal with **** like that when I wear a Sox shirt, people saying "WHy the Red Sox?! Come on?!"
I say back "Can't i cheer for both of them? The won't even play eachother for at least 7 months!" It's not like i have a Yanks cap and a Sox shirt on or something.
Bandwagon fans really ruin the experience for real fans. Grrr..

- Electrochemical determination of dopamine in the presence of high concentrations of ascorbic acid at a poly(indole-3-acetic acid) coated electrode
- Author(s)
- Yu, Ai-Min; Sun, Deng-Ming; Chen, Hong-Yuan
- Abstract
- A poly(indole-3-acetic acid) chemically modified electrode offers substantial improvements in voltammetric sensitivity and selectivity towards dopamine (DA). This polymer coating greatly attenuates the voltammetric response of ascorbic acid (AA) while the oxidation peak current of DA is enhanced by over an order of magnitude compared with that at the bare electrode. The high sensitivity and selectivity for DA appears to be mainly due to the charge discrimination and the analyte accumulation. The current response is dependent on both the solution pH and accumulation time. The detection limit is ca. 6.0 x 10^-3 mol/L. In 1.0 x 10^-6 M dopamine solution, AA shows no interference although its concentration is larger by 3 orders. The modified electrode is rather stable; a reproducible response of DA is obtained even after a month.

What is in this article?:
- Two Certainties for Corn and Soybean Farmers: Taxes and Tax Questions
- 5 rules for farm-related tax deductions
More About:
Farmers recently received some welcome tax relief for machinery and equipment purchases, says Roger McEowen, director, Iowa State University Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation.
"From a farm tax standpoint, one of the biggest changes for 2010 and 2011 is the expansion of the Section 179 tax deduction to $500,000, and the introduction of 100% bonus depreciation for new assets bought after Sept. 8, 2010, and before Jan. 1, 2012," he says. "With those two new rules, almost all farmers who purchase new and used equipment during these time periods will be able to completely deduct their purchases."
Previously, the limit to Section 179 tax deductions had been $250,000 and the limit to bonus depreciation had been 50%, he says.
Although maximizing deductions for all farm equipment purchases may sound like a sensible financial strategy, there are instances when taking those deductions could be financially detrimental, cautions McEowen. One especially important consideration before claiming a large deduction on either new or used equipment is how long you intend to own that equipment before reselling it, he says.
If you take a deduction on an asset you purchase, and then sell that asset after owning it for only a few years, you might have to pay a hefty tax on the tax savings from taking that deduction, says McEowen. "So, you may want to sit down with a tax counselor to make sure you're not stuck with what's called 'depreciation recapture' further down the road."
The following example may be helpful to illustrate other considerations when making tax deduction decisions for farm-asset purchases: "Let's say a farmer is purchasing a tractor this year," says McEowen. "First, the farmer must decide whether or not to take a Section 179 deduction and/or bonus depreciation. The Section 179 deduction can be as high as $500,000, and it applies to both used and new equipment, whereas the bonus depreciation only applies to new assets. However, there are two limitations to the Section 179 deduction:
- The farmer must have taxable income from farm operations and other businesses at least equal to his planned Section 179 deduction (including most wages that he earns).
- He must not have purchased more than $2 million in equipment for 2010. Purchases above this amount start to reduce the Section 179 deduction dollar for dollar.
"In the case of this farmer, as long as the farm is profitable and net income from farming and after other depreciation is more than the cost of the tractor, then the farmer will be able to completely deduct the cost of the tractor in 2011," adds McEowen. "Any amount not deducted under Section 179 will be depreciated over seven years."

Jane Eyre
Adapted from Charlotte Bronte's novel by Polly Teale
Spring 2006
Jane Eyre is undeniably one of the most popular English novels. It has alternately been read as a horror story, a love story, a story of societal oppression, or a story of one woman's quest to free herself from Victorian era expectations. Published in 1847 under a male pseudonym, Charlotte Bronte's novel prompted both praise and condemnation from its critics. Some praised its cleverness and power. Others, in particular after Bronte's true gender was revealed, condemned it for being "unfeminine" and undermining conventional sexual, political, and ethical values. The enduring legacy of the novel is its openness to interpretation.
This adaptation focuses its attention on the psychological drama of Bronte's story. Adaptor Polly Teale attempts to portray the "physical manifestation of the inner journey" of Jane onstage. As a result those who have read the book may be frustrated at times. This is no longer Bronte's story; instead, it is Teale's reworking of the story and characters. Most notably, Teale re-envisions the character of Bertha, Mr. Rochester's mad wife in the novel. In the play Bertha functions as Jane's repressed alter ego, allowing Teale to explore issues of repression and freedom. Bertha exists in a strange state in the play—halfway between imagination and reality. She embodies the passion that Jane longs to set free in herself.
Teale's vision of the story teases out interesting implications. How do we come to know ourselves? How do we balance our intellectual sides and our passionate sides? De we alter who we are in order to find love? In Teale's adaptation, Jane spends a lot of time talking to God. Repeatedly she asks for forgiveness and cries out, "Oh Lord, what does it mean?" Jane's cries of the heart echo our cries. Her struggle to remain true to herself and her Maker echo our struggles. Ultimately, in the play Jane makes a leap of faith and reconciles the two sides of her nature.

Big Brother an elephant in the room
If you simply shrug your shoulders over electronic surveillance programs run by our government, please turn to the person beside you and ask them to throw cold water in your face.
Good. Now pay attention.
Thanks to Edward Snowden, 29, a "geek" who worked for a defense contractor, we now know that the National Security Agency, with the secret permission of a secret court and with the secret cooperation of private companies, has been secretly keeping track of our phone calls, computer communications and who knows what else since as far back as 2007.
The Obama administration and some members of Congress assert that the surveillance programs, part of the war on terror, are allowed under the 2001 Patriot Act and its 2011 extension.
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and other members of Congress, disagree. Sensenbrenner says, "I authored the Patriot Act, and this is an abuse of that law."
He adds, "Congress intended to allow the intelligence communities to access targeted information for specific investigations. How can every call that every American makes or receives be relevant to a specific investigation? This is well beyond what the Patriot Act allows."
Snowden makes much the same point. "The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to."
His disclosures, considered the most explosive leaks ever, touch on various issues. Here are just a few:
1. Security versus privacy.
President George W. Bush and nearly all lawmakers thought they were doing the right thing back in 2001 when they came up with the Patriot Act. The objective was to prevent another terrorist attack. Conventional wisdom held that only "bad guys" had anything to fear. We know better today, thanks to Snowden. And in a supreme irony, the NSA may even be spying on the act's progenitors – members of Congress.
Two weeks ago, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill, asked Attorney General Eric Holder for assurances that the NSA was not monitoring lawmakers' phones in the Capitol. Holder balked. "With all due respect, Senator, I don't think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss that issue."
It's clear that some officials have set the price we citizens must pay for "security," but do they have that right? An informed national debate on this is long overdue.
2. HUMINT versus SIGINT.
Our intelligence agencies use three traditional forms of information gathering – human intelligence (HUMINT), signal intelligence (SIGINT) and imagery intelligence (IMINT).
HUMINT has been declining since the 1970s, and it took a serious hit during the Clinton years. Money was tight and, besides, liberals don't like working with spies. They (spies) can be unsavory.
Human intelligence gathering is still languishing, and we're relying more and more on technology, cyber surveillance and other advanced technology.
Knowing what we know today, however, it's time for our politicians to rethink that strategy and ask, "Which is more objectionable, dealing with unsavory characters or compromising citizen privacy?"
3. Truth versus trust.
President Obama says some news coverage of the surveillance programs is "hype" and the programs are "modest encroachments" on freedom. He also says they're OK because they're overseen by the judiciary and by Congress.
What he doesn't say is that judicial oversight takes place in secret, with no one to challenge the government, and he neglects to explain that effective congressional oversight depends upon truth from the overseen.
On that last point, in March, during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., asked James Clapper, director of national intelligence, "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"
Clapper: "No, sir."
Wyden: "It does not?"
Clapper: "Not wittingly."
When quizzed last week, Clapper called his denial "the least untruthful" answer.
How uncomforting.
Many in our scandal-ridden government ask us to look past the lies and just trust them. But shouldn't they earn our trust by telling us the truth?
Maybe that's something else for the politicians to ponder.

DS is now 10 months, and I'm looking forward to getting to the one year mark. We are doing pretty well with our routine of nursing before offering solids. I know kellymom says that after a year it's okay to feed the solids and then nurse.
Is it okay if I just keep doing what I'm doing - that is, nurse on demand, and nurse before his 3 solid meals each day? I don't want him to wean anytime soon, and I'm afraid that if I start offering the solids first, he won't want to nurse afterward. He eats a lot of solids and I'm pretty sure his BM intake would drop dramatically if I tried to nurse after each solid meal.
Is there some point at which you're supposed to switch to nursing after the solid meal rather than before?

NEW ENGLAND Circus college is planned in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine A nonprofit group announced Thursday that it plans to open a circus- performance college in Portland.
The newly formed Circus Conservatory of America would offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in circus studies and would be the first school of its type in the U.S., conservatory President Peter Nielsen said at a news conference.
The school plans to offer courses that focus on theatrical, acrobatic and artistic elements, rather than old-fashioned clown acts and animal tricks.
Contemporary circus combines traditional circus disciplines with modern dance, dramatic theater and multi-media, Nielsen said. Todays circus performers must learn to master much more than a set of physical skills and they deserve the opportunity to pursue an education that prepares them to make their highest contribution as artists and global citizens.
The college would be located in a converted 33,000-square-foot brick building on the former Thompsons Point industrial site that developers want to turn into a multi-use development with an events center, a hotel, a sports medicine lab, residences and office space.
The school has launched a capital campaign to raise funds for construction with a goal of the school opening by the fall of 2015, Nielsen said. The school is also seeking accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
Nielsen said Portland was chosen as the schools home because of its strong creative economy, its transportation network and its proximity to Quebec and Vermont, which he said are hotbeds for circus performing arts.
Cirque du Soleil performing arts company is based in Montreal. Circus Smirkus is based in Greensboro, Vt.MORE IN News

U.S. Ambassador Speaks Pidgin English; Nigerians Love It
It's not often that a broadcast interview by a diplomat wows listeners, but a recent conversation involving the American ambassador to Nigeria, James F. Entwistle, is causing a buzz – and winning applause.
The praise is not so much for the content of the interview or the pressing issues the ambassador discusses. It's more for the language in which he chose to express himself: pidgin English.
Pidgin, or broken English, is the popular lingua franca spoken throughout West Africa. The patois cuts across Nigeria, the continent's most populous nation, which is home to hundreds of local languages, making it easier for millions of Nigerians from different parts of the country to communicate.
Entwistle was recently interviewed by Nigeria's Wazobia FM, the first radio station in Nigeria to broadcast in pidgin English. He was asked about Nigeria's controversial new anti-gay legislation and whether the U.S. might impose sanctions.
"The U.S. government no say sanction go dey for Nigeria, because of same-sex palava-o," Entwistle said.
In other words, the U.S. is not going to impose sanctions on Nigeria for passing a law criminalizing same-sex marriages.
A Surprise Call From The Embassy
It's not often that Westerners learn to speak, and master, pidgin.
So Onimisi "OJ" Adaba, the coordinating manager of Wazobia FM, says he was surprised when he received a call from the American Embassy suggesting the live studio interview in pidgin with the new ambassador.
"I'm like, 'Wait a minute, Wazobia? I mean, we're talking about the U.S. ambassador! Does he speak pidgin in the first place?'" Adaba said.
Adaba was told the ambassador was practicing, trying to pick up things from here and there. "And I'm like, 'OK, it's worth giving a shot,'" he said.
Omotunde "Lolo" David, the host, was delighted to converse in pidgin with the American diplomat live on the air. She's a self-confessed aficionado of pidgin and says, though it may not be the language of diplomacy, it reaches people at the grassroots level.
"When we're talking about reaching everyone, pidgin English is a language just like our culture; a language like the beautiful clothing that we wear, very colorful, very expressive. It's a very beautiful language," David said.
David says pidgin is inventive, humorous, clever and curious — a rich language that eschews class and creed and is spoken by everyone in Nigeria, with regional variations.
"It's an evolving language," she said, "a language that has a life of its own."
And it's the language that Entwistle chose to speak, he says, because "if you want people to understand the United States and where we're coming from, you have to go where they live linguistically speaking. You have to be able to communicate."
Handling A Range Of Questions
Sometimes as a diplomat, Entwistle says, "you get stuck in this government-dealing-with-government rut."
"You have to remember that your job is also to get out and understand the country and the people," he says.
And so, David and Wazobia FM callers asked the American ambassador a range of questions – including one about next year's much-anticipated elections in Nigeria. Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan's party is expected to be pushed hard by the opposition, and they wanted to know the U.S. position on the vote.
His answer?
"Make I tell you say U.S. no get any candidate for mind. The only ting wey go sweet us be say make the election dey transparent, credible and concluded," Entwistle said in Pidgin. "Make Nigerians pick candidates wey go sweet their belle, wey go do well well for them."
Did you get that? Here's a translation:
"Washington does not have a preferred presidential candidate. Just let Nigeria's elections be transparent and credible, and Nigerians should choose a candidate who will do them proud."
Sounds rather bland in translation, doesn't it? There's no mention of something literally making your stomach sweet (i.e., that you like it) or repetition of the word "well" for emphasis.
Wazobia's David and Adaba both praised the ambassador for being a good sport and for making the effort.
"He sold himself into the hearts of many Nigerians," David says. "That's quite a plus for the American Embassy."
Now staying in Africa, diplomats who are posted there, as elsewhere, are expected to be multi-lingual, but this?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: U.S. government no say sanction go dey for Nigeria because of same-sex palava-o.
LYDEN: America's ambassador to Nigeria recently gave an interview in Pidgin English, which is a second language for tens of millions of Nigerians. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, as NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton reports from Lagos.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Wazobia FM.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: All right, 95.1 Wazobia FM...
OFEIBEA QUIST-ARCTON, BYLINE: Wazobia FM is the first radio station in Nigeria to broadcast in the popular lingua franca called Pidgin or broken English. The patois cuts across Africa's most populous nation, home to hundreds of languages, making it easier for Nigerians from different parts of the country to communicate. But it's not often that Westerners master Pidgin English, so imagine the surprise of Wazobia FM's coordinating manager, Onimisi "OJ" Adaba, when he got this request from the American Embassy about the new ambassador, James Entwistle.
ONIMISI OJ ADABA: I'm telling you when she notices, he's not just a regular one. He wants to be on Wazobia. I'm like wait a minute. Wazobia? I mean, we're talking about the U.S. ambassador. Does he speak Pidgin in the first place? Said no, no, no, no, but he's learning one or two things here. He's trying to pick up from here and there. And I'm like OK. It's worth giving a shot.
QUIST-ARCTON: Wazobia host Lolo David and callers asked the American ambassador about next year's much anticipated elections in Nigeria when incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan's party is expected to be pushed hard by the opposition, plus, of course, the U.S. position on the vote.
AMBASSADOR JAMES ENTWISTLE: First, make I tell you say U.S. no get any candidate for mind.
ENTWISTLE: The only thing, the only thing wey go sweet us be say make the election dey transparent and credible. Make Nigerians pick candidates wey go sweet their belle, wey go do well for them.
QUIST-ARCTON: Did you get that? Washington does not have a preferred presidential candidate. Just let Nigeria's elections be transparent and credible. And Nigerians should choose a candidate who will do them proud. Lolo David says she was delighted with the conversation.
LOLO DAVID: It's an amazing experience and the interview's generating a lot of buzz as we are speaking 'cause nobody would believe an ambassador would bring himself to speak Pidgin. Ha. What we talking about reaching everyone, Pidgin English, it's just a language that is like our culture, a language like the beautiful clothing that we wear, very colorful, very expressive. So it's very beautiful language.
QUIST-ARCTON: Another question wondered about the U.S. reaction to Nigeria's recent controversial anti-gay rights bill. Here's the ambassador's response.
ENTWISTLE: U.S. government no say sanction go dey for Nigeria because of same-sex palava-o.
QUIST-ARCTON: In other words, the U.S. is not going to impose sanctions on Nigeria for passing a law criminalizing same-sex marriages. James Entwistle told NPR why he chose to speak Pidgin English on Wazobia FM.
ENTWISTLE: If you want people to understand the United States and where we're coming from, you have to, you know, you have to go where they live, linguistically speaking. You have to be able to communicate. So this was great.
QUIST-ARCTON: Wazobia's Lolo David says the ambassador's interview immediately began trending on Twitter and Facebook.
DAVID: Everybody didn't believe it at first, you know, like, are you see-ree-os? That was him.
QUIST-ARCTON: She says, what listeners really appreciate is Entwistle's enterprise and willingness to give it a go.
DAVID: But, you know, he put it across so people were like, wow, sir, we salute you, doing an amazing job at Wazobia. You know, de guy de try, honestly, he dey wow us. A-a Oga, we know even believe say he go fit. You know that kind thing. Twale. Respect. All it's in there. In fact, he sold himself to the hearts of many Nigerians, and that's quite a plus for the American embassy.
QUIST-ARCTON: Apparently, a successful attempt at soft-power diplomacy. Right. Here's my shot at signing off in Pidgin. Ok-o, na Ofeibea-dis, de tak long tolly for NPR News, na Lagos - no be so? Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Found: a new species of parasitic plant in Michoacán, Mexico
Wilfrid Laurier Herbarium (Biology)
Feb 28/07
Dodders (Cuscuta spp.) are fascinating parasitic plants. Unlike many other plants, dodders are known by people everywhere in the world. Even in a lost village in South America one can ask politely (in Spanish, of course): Have you seen something that looks like yellow spaghetti spread on other plants? and peoples faces will light up: Yes, yes, that thing that sucks the life out of corn, avocado. . . (or any other plant for the matter). This is because dodders are unlike any other plants. The yellow-orange stems are leafless and thin; they twine around the stems of the plants that they parasitize; they form specialized structures called haustoria that puncture the hosts tissues and then proceed to extract water, carbohydrates, and other solutes. The connection between host-parasite is so tight that in medieval Europe it was believed that the parasite was part of the plant host, and that together they formed a monstrosity, a metamorphosis of the normal species. Common names of Cuscuta worldwide illustrate the mixed reverence and fear with which people have regarded these plants: devilguts, devil's hair, devils ringlet, goldthread, hailplant, hairweed, hell bind, love vine, pull down, stranglevine, strangleweed, tangle gut, witches' shoelaces, and so on.
In collaboration with Sasa Stefanovic from UFT, Mississauga, we have been studying the evolution and taxonomy this group of plants for the last three years. More than 10,000 herbarium specimens from all continents have been sent to us for study. One of these specimens from the University of California Herbarium at Riverside, collected from Michoacán, Mexico, drew my attention through its peculiar morphology of flowers and fruits. The specimen had the potential to be a new species, but more plant material was needed. I contacted the collector of this herbarium specimen, Ignacio García Ruiz from CIIDIR Michoacán (Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigacion para el Desarrollo Integral Regional Michoacán del Instituto Politécnico Nacional), and asked for his help. He kindly accepted to guide us through the mountains of Michoacan where he had collected the specimen.
During mid February 2007, with senior biology student Mark Welsh, I left behind a Canada white with snow. Soon we were contemplating the vastness of Mexicos sunny landscapes from the little window of our American Airlines flight. It didnt matter that our luggage failed to arrive in Guadalajara along with us. We rented a car and drove south towards Lake Chapala, which we circled, gazing at the slopes with blue plantations of Agave tequilana. We arrived in Jiquilpan at night, a little awed by everyone on the streets, laughing, eating, drinking, although it was only a Thursday. Next day we met our guide and host, Ignacio, and Eleazar Caranza, the local specialist in Convolvulaceae who came from Patzcuaro to meet us.
Michoacán de Ocampo (from michamacuan, Nahuatl for "the place of the fishermen") is a vast inaccessible wilderness with thousands of nameless volcanoes, sierras and barrancas. Roads are scarce; villages remote and isolated; people are poor, but very warm. Some regions remain unexplored even by the local botanists, not only because of the unforgiving topography of land, but also because of the bandidos who have taken advantage of this geography to hide and cultivate Cannabis and opium poppy. Despite a heavy military presence, Michoacán has remained one of the deadliest Mexican state, with more than 500 people killed in 2006 of a population of only 4 million.
Yet the plant diversity is astonishing. Ignacio joked that aqui tenemos una desbandada floral total (we have here an absolute floral chaos). Indeed, epiphytic orchids, bromeliass and various vines hang from the trees; countless flowering plants grow in a huge variety of habitats. This is the heaven for any botanist!
For a week we explored the hauntingly beautiful Michoacan, asking local inhabitants if they had seen dodders. We found the new species in Sierra de Cotija, and we collected sufficient material to send duplicates to other herbaria. We have fixed floral buttons for chromosome studies and fragments of plants in silica gel for DNA extraction. Soon we will submit this work for publication together with our Mexican colleague. And perhaps even more important, we have found great friends and discovered a new vibrant world.

Skip to comments.In your face, Spite House! Blue Ridge inn blockaded by Park Police reopens today [legal docs #80]
Posted on 10/09/2013 9:28:20 AM PDT by abb
The Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina created a publicity crap storm for the Spite House when operators were forced to close during the government shutdown. The inn sits on federal land and despite the owners attempt to defy orders from the Park Police, he was forced to close his doors and throw away spoiled food during the height of fall foliage season.
Today, the inn will reopen at 5 p.m. and all October reservations will be honored.
Didn't they have to dispose of a lot of perishable inventory yesterday?
I think it deserves breaking news status. The bastards blinked.
It should ban federal employees from staying there.
Good for these people! I hope folks make an extra attempt to dine there and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in order to make up for the lost revenue.
We're winning. The Community Organizer doesn't understand street theater? He doesn't understand the people?
This is the worst politics I've ever seen. Who is running this guy?
Free Republic had the story almost an hour before Twichy
I like the way you think!!
In a truly free country they would have the right to refuse service to Federal Nazis.
If it ain't on FRee Republic, it ain't news!
"This is the worst politics Ive ever seen. Who is running this guy?"
The Lizard Queen Jarrett.
His petulant desire for vengeance causes him to make stupid mistakes.
Sounds like teh kind of place that has a woodshed where Bammy could be (new) skooled.
Yes quite a bit of food supposedly. Poor owner better look out IRS colonoscopy coming soon, courtesy of the boy king.
Never let a good disaster go to waste. With the shutdown we know exactly where to cut government fat out of the system. Let's get trimming in 2014.
Keep the names of the thugs who enforced this for a national database of Shameful Americans. The citizens need to come to know that being a government thug is a Shameful thing.
These episodes of park police doing this blockading and closing of even private properties have revealed something: the arrow of their loyalties points away from the people and toward the government.
If things go badly for the country, you might want to keep that in mind.
His optics are melting down. We are winning! Steady as she goes.
Afraid you are correct.
Since his popularity ratings dropped to 37% even in an MSM poll, I'd say he had no idea what this would stir up.
Arrogant little ... well, fill in the blanks.
The Lizard Queen Jarrett.
But who is Jarrett's controller? Soros is just the front man for whoever is doing this. I can't imagine that any foreign country like China or Russia benefits from the utter destruction of the US because of he worldwide economic consequences. I'm not a sophisticated person and I can't figure the whole game out with the limited information the public and Freepers have access to.
About the National Parks: I'm inspired to visit the new one in my area when it reopens. Don't know if they have much going on, it's a battlefield.
The $hutdown may have not have the impact anticipated by $pitehouse because due the the continuing recession there aren't that many people able to travel anyway. The Vets were available and the Evil Ones knew they would be visiting on a schedule.
Just ban half-white presidents.
Robert Heinlein - "Time Enough for Love" / "Notebooks of Lazarus Long"
- "In a mature society, civil servant is semantically equal to civil master!"
He wrote this in 1972 (published in 1973!)
"It should ban federal employees from staying there."
The only problem with that is they lease the building from the Fed. Gov as a concessionaire which is renewed on a frequent basis.
>>>This is the worst politics Ive ever seen. Who is running this guy?>>>
Think horns and pitchfork
Just a thought, but I wonder if Zero's approval rate sinking to 37% had anything to do with backing down?
Personally, I think this was sort of a trial run.
However, that said, I think a lot of parkies (and I know some) are very devoted to the US and its people and honestly weren't expecting anything like this and didn't know how to react. I would also suspect that a lot of them didn't think they were really going to be expected to enforce it and it was just for show.
Rangers always complain about being regarded as an enforcement arm, something that was not always true (although they had certain police powers) and actually developed more in recent years as there was more crime in parks. However, there is a separate United States Parks Police, which is armed and does most of the hard stuff and which is the one that appears in most of the recent photos of park closings, etc.
I notice that in some places Obama had to hire what was clearly contract labor to shut down the parks, so there may have been more resistance than we know about.
Also, this has rallied the States like nothing else, which is also something you don't hear discussed.
When Obama did this, he wanted to punish average Americans, mostly Anglo whites but with a fair number of Hispanics and even some black Americans (judging by what I saw of the attendance this summer on a tour through various National Parks). He knew that anybody interested in this country and its history and even landscape would be no friend of his.
The MSM keeps referring to and comparing against the popularity of Congress. Ignore that because what you see there is a pure popularity contest and most members will be re-elected, so that score is meaningless. Obama, on the other hand needs an appearance of popularity to keep his Democrat allies in line and elect enough to take the House in 2014. At this rate, it looks like his battle plan is failing!
I weep bitter crocodile tears! (really, I do!)
You'll probably find Jarrett's controller somewhere in Chicago -- in the Chicago cell of domestic communists (William Ayers is a member in good standing).
Operations funded by radical Islamist sheikhs, which became necessary as the Soviet Union's funding started to wither and disappear thru the eighties.
As a consequence, the Chicago cell runs domestic policy while the Muslim Brotherhood calls the shots on foreign policy.
Just my best guess...
Two that I know of, Trumpka and Soros. Trumpka is in the whitehouse all the time.
Glenn Beck interviewed him last night. What a terrific guy. He stated 50 employees had no place to go and he has been feeding them and helping them out. Way to go Glenn for getting this story out. This restaurant owner said he was not affected so much and could weather the shutdown... but his employees could not. Small Business hero of the day.
Thank you for that information.
At least in Saddam's regime, they had the decency of covering their faces when they they tormented their neighbors and friends.
I had the pleasure of stopping there a few years back while on the Blue Ridge. Gorgeous views, perfect location. Love that area!
"The Spite House" is part of the language no longer in use by the old (sometimes called mainstream) media. Lots of us look for those gems for the chuckles they bring.
Yes, and I'm sure as soon as they restock with fresh food the Spite House (Good one!) will close it again.
*Who is running this guy?*
It would seem a robot from another galaxy that has batteries that are running down and no way to charge them!
You got that right. The old "we don't make the laws, we just enforce them" will be the trump card of the day.
They can stay there,. but they have to eat the spoiled food.
The Lizard Queen Jarrett.*
I thought maybe it was robots from another planet, but this theory is better.
It seems that a Slestak is controlling him!

Do Wasps Have Free Will?
We found a new wasp species in the North Campus. The Great Golden Digger Wasp, Sphex ichneumoneous, is an impressively large (approximately one inch long), and active solitary wasp. Although many see a wasp this large and brightly colored—the orange and black combo usually tells us to "stay away"—this wasp is not aggressive and is very rarely observed stinging. Solitary Hymenopterous insects (those in the order Hymenoptera, aka bees and wasps) are not prone to stinging the same way social species are. This is because they don't have a hive to protect.

The Great Golden Digger Wasp is actually a beneficial insect in our gardens. Here's how:...

August Cyclists of the Month: Memphis Pedicab Company
Hi everyone.
It's been several months since I posted a Cyclist of the Month interview – that one with Jason Potter was pretty awesome – and I've been meaning to sit down with (read: email) the guys at Memphis Pedicab Company for some questions. Well, after months of procrastination on my part, plus a ridiculously busy schedule, here we are. Read on to learn about the history of Memphis's only people-powered transportation team, how to recover from a night of hauling around passengers, and what it's like to pedal a cab.
Co-owner Chris Copeland taking some people for a spin.
1. Tell me about the history of Memphis Pedicab. How did this new business get started?
Jeremy Reese and I started the company after finding ourselves unemployed in early 2011. It was a sudden and unexpected change after dedicating so much time, energy and emotion to someone else's idea. Not long after spending all day every day looking for a job and realizing, first-hand, how difficult the current job market is to navigate, we decided that we needed something to do with our time and abilities. We did some research and found that Pedicabs were becoming more and more popular across the US. We were intrigued at the possibility and set about finding a used Pedicab to purchase to fuel the fire and proove the concept to ourselves.
Once we found one and drove it back to Memphis, in the back of a rented pick-up, we were convinced. We then put together a business plan, a proforma and secured a business license. Next came our biggest and most rewarding hurdle to clear…We had to submit a proposal to the City and appear before a panel to present our idea and business plan. On the panel were representatives from the Memphis City Gov't including the Permit Office, the City Attorney's office, the MATA, the Taxi industry, the Visitors Bureau and Convention Center and the MPD. We really could not have succeeded without the support of the following people: Aubrey Howard at the Permit Office, Kyle Wagenshutz, the Mayor's Bike and Pedestrian Coordinator, Mayor AC Wharton himself, Leslie Gower and Paul Morris of the Downtown Commission and Maria Fuhrmann from Kemp Conrad's office.
2. Since you've been open, what's happened to your level of business? Do you plan to add more employees any time soon?
Since starting at the end of last Summer business has most certainly picked up. We don't have to solicit rides as much as we did initially. People are definitely starting to catch on as they realize how convenient and fun the pedicabs are. We are always looking for a few good men AND women to pedal. It's a great way to stay in shape while earning a little cash.
3. You must have some really interesting stories from transporting people around downtown in a pedicab. What's been your most interesting/bizarre clients?
Have you ever seen Taxi Cab confessions on HBO…??? People really will tell you almost anything while you drive them around.
4. What's it like driving a pedicab? Those things must be geared in a way to let you handle some serious cargo (i.e. people). And I imagine they have some serious brakes on them too. What's the weight limit for a pedicab?
Driving a pedicab is tons of fun! Most of the time you are transporting people who are already out to have a good time and you get to be part of it…you get to actually be part of the environment. You're always meeting someone new and you get to contribute to their experience. The cabs are geared just like a 21speed mountain bike and even though they have a pretty big granny gear a five or six hour shift definitely takes it out of you. Downtown is not as flat as you think it is, especially when carting a few hundred pounds around. The max load is about 800 lbs and they are equipped with hydraulic rear brakes. Usually as the nights progress we inch closer and closer to that max 800 pound limit as people pile on in fours and fives!
5. You must be pretty exhausted after a full day/night of pedaling people around Memphis. What's your favorite energy booster?
Sugar, sugar and more sugar followed by carbs and more sugar.
6. What other neighborhoods do you think would be well-suited for a pedicab? I could see one making the rounds on Madison Avenue, between Cooper and McLean, especially once Overton Square is renovated.
We ask ourselves that question all the time. We keep coming back to the Cooper-Young/Overton Square area. We really like the feeling and activity in that part of town. Hopefully the Square will make a comeback…it has such great potential. Pedicabs would be perfect for the trip from Cooper Young to Overton Square. That part of town would also be ideal for a dispatch-type of pedicab servivce.
7. What's been the response to your business among downtown locals and businesses? Do the horse-drawn carriages ever try to race you?
Sometimes it can be a slow process trying to start something new or break into an industry that has established players. You certainly can't escape the "new-kid-on-the-block" feeling. Before we had all the required paperwork and been properly vetted the response was not what we had hoped but certainly expected. We are finding our place in the higherarchy, we are starting to be accepted as part of the downtown scene and we couldn't be happier. And yes, the carriages regularly ask us if we want to race.
8. When the Harahan Bridge project is completed, we'll have bike lanes crossing the Mississippi River. Any plans to transport people across the river to West Memphis and back?
That is certainly in the cards.
9. What other types of biking do you do around town?
I also race as a Cat 3 cyclist.
10. Any other stories you'd like to share?
We are perfect for parties, weddings, corporate events, brand ambassadors or even as a valet service.
And there you have it, folks. I've been meaning to head downtown and take a ride on a pedicab myself. Have you done so? Leave me some love in the comments section, and say hello to Chris, Jeremy, and the rest of the Memphis Pedicab people the next time you're downtown.

Howye fokes! How is things?
Browsen through me Tedasaurus the other day, I came across a little piece about me Fourbear, Pra da Panda, what was once the Nations top designer and what invented the stone-washed jean back in the last few weeksa the Stone Age.
The peasant fokes was delighted alltagather with their new trews, until the flaxen-haired daughtera the local Locks Clan [no furst name recorded] started sayen that everyone was looken fierce scruffy alltagather in the new gear. [At this pint we can only speculate that this spite was outta pure jealously cos her prehistoric arse was too big ta fit in ta them]. Well, me Fourbears was taken nonea these insults fer sure, and after discoveren the resta the world fer ta subsequently invent the WWW, they looked up the Iron Age on the net, got it delivered, and then left it ta Ted the Inventer ta invent the very furst steam iron.
Ted the Onterpineer took things over from here and was in the middlea plannen the very furst laundrette when his plannen permission was blocked by a mysterious objecter, on the grounds that it might hamper the allready scanty bleach and peroxide supplies. And next thing ya know hadnt the local Locks Clan opened up the furst wash-house in the area. Well, in the heela the reel, the Ted population wasnt too disappinted with their loss cos it soon transpired that this was firece sweaty work alltagather and they had loads a time ta develop the arta gamblen, boozen and general carrousen while the flaxen-haired daughtera the local Locks clan had ta spend all her days slaven away over a hot iron.
Then one day while she was nosen through the jeans pocketsa one a the Marks Brothers [whether Ted or Carl is not recorded] didnt she come across the haff finished tedifesto on slave labour and decided ta there and then down tools and refuse ta work any more until somea the Teds agreed ta help her. Unlookily fer her, didnt she ferget ta turn off the iron and the jint burnt down ta a cinder, leaven the Locks Clan destitute fer yonks ta come.
Which just goes ta show ye fokes, ya should never strike while the iron is hot.
Be seein ya

I think it was Carl Marks, GT, not Ted. After all, he had nothing to lose but his jeans.
Glad to see you back in such fine form. Keep up the shabby bear, er shaggy bear, stories.
I've been hoping you would come to this side of the pond for a visit, but I notice there's no zipper in those jeans; that means you won't be able to get on a plane without a lot of trouble. Being on the No-Fly List and all._________________________

Jist plaign graijte !
To Ted The Gallant,
One of our trips to Ireland got us into an Irish hospital for six weeks with broken bones because a van from a Bacon Company
overtook a flock of sheep in a sharp curve of one of them scenic country roads. The front window gone, our back seat passenger's spectacles ended up way over the offensive van and the Company's slices of bacon ended up way over all around the place. The sheep didn't care for bacon and pursued their pastoral trail.
The hospital was great! I was a only a little scared to death by a teeny weeny gostlike little waif that whispered :'Holy water? Holy water? into my feverish ear. I thought the end had come right then and there due to a shot of morphine on which I reacted negative. All docters and nurses
thought it a big waste of money, that shot.
The matron hopped in every day in my single room to ask how we were feeling today. The head surgeon governed the place like a King.
(Louis XVI) Complete with peacocks on the lawn and he did his rounds with a staff of assistants acting as courtiers.
Before dawn the hospital smelled of the home- bread baking and as it was Xmas there was turkey, turnips and iced heavy black Christmas cake.I was daily wheeled over to my husband's room who was lying in traction with a broken hip . It was the most hospitable hospital I ever knew. Bantry, best place in the world to brake a leg. I love Ireland,the music,the accent though I never got it right.
On many a trip I saw donkeys , not ever I saw you, Gallant Ted . I guess you must have been a toddler at the time and was off to the woods to the annual Teddy Bear's Picnic.
Love your column!
