In Burundi, 86.9 percent of people can read, but they lack access to books. World Vision has brought books to a community through a special center, and one mother and daughter are enjoying the benefits.
Nathalie Buzeba rarely spends a day without reading. The 48-year-old rural mother's craving for the written word destroys the common assumption that Burundi has no reading culture.
Traditionally, Burundians have inherited an oral tradition, passing stories down by word of mouth instead of reading. Still, Burundi has an 86.9 percent literacy rate.
"It is not a lack of a reading culture, but a lack of reading materials," says Nathalie, who smiles as she holds a 10-page book she uses to teach her daughter, Diella, how to read and write.
World Vision's Reading to Learn Project is helping debunk the myth by providing children and adults easy access to books. As a result, Diella borrows books from a nearby World Vision reading camp, and even Nathalie enjoys exploring the tales Diella brings home.
"I always take pleasure in reading these books because there are many interesting stories," Nathalie says. The stories are all new to the woman who only finished sixth grade 40 years ago.
The books help Nathalie teach Diella how to better read.
"Before this project, there were no reading books," Nathalie explains. "Those who were lucky were those who could have access to the small Bible."
In addition to the books, she also uses unconventional materials to help Diella learn.
"I sometimes use banana leaves or use that door," Nathalie says, pointing to the house door. She writes on the leaves or the door and encourages Diella to imitate her writing. Diella also practices reading aloud what she writes.
Now, Diella knows how to read and write and is doing extremely well in first grade. One trimester she even finished first in her class.
Fidele Nindagiye, an education specialist for World Vision in Burundi, wants more children like Diella to become enthralled with books. His dream is to see this next generation of Burundians change from nonreaders to readers, with this World Vision project serving as a catalyst in that process. The seeds of reading have been sown in this community, and the harvest is starting to come in.

Arming field agents with Spackle paste is one way that Jimmy John Liautaud can "keep it simple" at his rapidly growing Jimmy's John's sandwich chain, he said. Liautaud's Champaign, Ill.-based chain of about 1,500 restaurants has grown its store base by nearly 55 percent in less than three years. It had estimated U.S. systemwide sales of more than $1 billion in 2011, aided, in part, by 10.97-percent growth in estimated sales per unit, to about $825,000, ...

Graduate Student(765) 494-3722
Hey! My name is Nina Serratore and I'm originally from Grand Rapids, Minnesota. I completed my B.A. in chemistry and dance from Gustavus Adolphus College. During my summers at Gustavus I worked for Dr. Scott Bur in an organic chemistry lab on pyrrolizidine alkaloid synthesis and the reaction kinetics of the Diels-Alder mechanism. After Gustavus I took a year off and performed in Walt Disney World. I entered the Purdue Biochemistry Ph.D. program in the fall of 2011. The small labs, great facilities, welcoming department and Cancer Research Center are just some of the reasons I chose Purdue. My growing interest in how post-translational modifications, specifically histone lysine methylation, affect gene expression led me to choose the Briggs lab in spring 2012. Outside of lab I love to dance, cook, read and run. Did I mention sleep? I love that too.

Refresh for the imminent new season with my five key men's trends and the way to frame them this spring.
American Retro
Old school Americana was rebooted for 2014. At Saint Laurent it was of the edgy L.A kind. Sequins, patent leather, leopard and zebra and lame brought out the showman. Gold mirrored matte aviators were the eyewear flash of genius. Etro went out West and intricate tooling became appliqué curls over suits and guitar cases. The dusty desert palette was splashed with bright colour pops. Topman Design made its mark on the cowboy shirt updating it with metallic accompaniment. Bottega Veneta's was the most contemporary with bold black outlines and chalk marks. The key is a great shirt. Look for Western detail; piping, florals and looped or peaked lapel collars. But sunglasses are as ever what will bring the cool factor.
A squared off wayfarer is a great and versatile choice. Make wayfarers and aviators matte and mirrored, or both for the essential contemporary twist. The Burberry Heritage 4154Q is perfect for the look. There are hand stitched leather temples to match your jacket too. For mirrors look to the keyhole bridged Dirty Dog Monza. The Ray-Ban Chris in its new velvet incarnation comes with fiery flash mirrors too. It's the perfect rock star twist.
Florals are big for men this spring/summer. Gucci, Prada and Burberry all did them beautifully. But it's not for everyone. Camo is the perfect way to get the same effect. Indeed some of those florals came off like camo. Valentino, Belstaff, Christopher Raeburn and Lee Roach all offered fresh takes on camouflage. Just in time for the season Ray-Ban goes urban with the Original 2140 Wayfarer. Those classic winged arms come covered in camo fabric. The face is matte. That natural fabric is a real classy finish to the handmade frame. It has what it takes to accompany smart looks as well as casual urban cool.
The elegance of pale grey is often taken for granted. The designers gave it the attention it deserves on the spring/summer runways. Paul Smith, Emporio Armani, Z Zegna and Jil Sander all produced great new grey looks. It's felt really fresh in eyewear too for some time. The Oliver Peoples Sheldrake in its streaked grey remains a firm favourite with me. It's all going on here. But as great menswear should be, it's classic and newness is subtle. The payoff at the temples after the streaking is huge. Turn the head and flash ultra contemporary crystal clear arms. Through the temples to boot is an Oliver Peoples branded core wire. Blue lenses brighten up the grey and make for a great signature to set you apart.
Even Paul Smith's runway was pink this season. At Tom Ford there was more pink tailoring, tone on tone with stand out texture. At Giorgio Armani it was in a pale soft tailored jacket and teamed with grey. Playful, fresh and confident pink is a great colour to bring into your palette and this is the season to do it. Bobby Gillespie was ahead of the game donning head to toe fuchsia at Glastonbury last year. It has got a touch of the rock star about it when you go all the way with a deeper pink. Not too many men venture into it; it comes off confident, showy and original. Ray-Ban's latest take on its Justin is perfect. The pink is kept matte with the superbrand's new gummy finish and along with the bold square update on the original wayfarer it's a masculine take on pink. Rich flash mirror lenses are another must when updating your shades for 2014.
Stripes return for another season. At Marc Jacobs they were in chevrons over mono knits. At Dolce and Gabbana there were varied grades in earthy tones. At E Tautz there were blocks and verticals. Burberry Prorsum teamed them with spots in another collection that owed much to national treasure painter David Hockney. Coordination in your look colour and print wise provides an instant catwalk look. Bring your sunglasses in with the new Polo 4064. The slim temples off this masculine wayfarer come with two so very well placed stripes. The tortoise face and green lenses will be the perfect classic grounding to your 2014 brights.

Steve Jobs' Thoughts on Music

"A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection"
"[C]omputer design is being dictated not by electronic design rules, physical layout requirements, and thermal issues, but by the wishes of the content industry." By deliberately breaking audio and video functionality, opening up new avenues for debilitating malware, and reversing performance gains in desktop PCs and third-party components, Peter Gutmann argues "the Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history."
New Zealand plans DMCA-like legislation
New Zealand may soon implement legislation very similar to the DMCA, if the latest draft of the Copyright Amendment Bill is passed. It would appear that the New Zealand government is about to make the same mistake made by the USA several years ago. Most specifically, they propose:
[To] introduce an offence (carrying a sentence of a fine not exceeding $150,000 or a term of imprisonment of up to 5 years, or both) for commercial dealing in devices, services, or information designed to circumvent technological protection measuresHer contact details are available online. We have a small window of opportunity to point out the problems and unintended consequences with similar legislation in other countries, and hopefully circumvent the same problems in New Zealand.
Fear is the dealkiller...
MSNBC soft pedalled the story while others have offered their regurgitated take on the press release. But I can't find anyone asking the tough questions about the new deal between Microsoft and Vivendi/Universal wherein MS will pay Universal a flat price for every Zune player sold.
With big names like David Geffen saying, "Each of these devices is used to store unpaid-for material. This way, on top of the material people do pay for, the record companies are getting paid on the devices storing the copied music." are we really getting to the point where everything we think we know about property and theft is going to be re-defined in terms of someone's perceived loss?

New kids on the block

P2P is a sin
FairPlay is turned about.
FairPlay is turned about. "DVD" Jon Lech Johansen, of DeCSS fame, has reverse engineered Apple's FairPlay DRM technology, which has thus far prevented 3rd-party digital music players from playing music purchased from the iTunes Store. RealNetworks did something similar in 2004, but Johansen is licensing it to whomever wants it.
Down wid da DRM! PSA via Eris!

Small screen vs. big screen
It's still about the means of production, you see — but in the overdeveloped world, at least, it's not about the production of goods and services anymore. Today's virtual revolutionary is happy to leave all that to capitalists. The virtual revolutionary wants to control the production of meaning — representations of herself and her world as she wants them to seem. Or be. Or whatever. That's all she asks. Or, rather, takes. Thomas de Zengotita welcomes the big world of the small screen. Peter Bogdanovich, instead, still mourns that last picture show.
Starforce calls agent Ness!
Not only is Starforce an evil driver-based copy-protection system that will spontaneously reboot your machine without warning if it thinks its being circumvented, not only is it on surprisingly many PC software products including a few you just might own, not only does it not remove itself when the game that installed it is uninstalled, but now they're claiming that the complaints about their software ultimately come from the Russian Mafia, and are asking authorities in the U.S. and Russia about looking into them.... (Previous Starforce idiocy on MeFi.)
Get the word out about Sony
Sony BMG won't be held accountable for its dangerous DRM if music fans don't have an easy way to learn about the flawed software, the settlement, and how to submit claims. By posting a banner on your website or blog, you can help music fans protect themselves and get what they deserve. [via A Copyfighter's Musings]
Beatpick: not evil at all at all?
We know Magnatune aren't evil, but as web record labels go, are Beatpick less evil still? In his response to a post at the Creative Commons blog, Beatpick's David D'Atri sets out their philosophy, and highlights some differences.
It Survives 24 hours
Oh, the irony. This season of Survivor (premiering tonight!), CBS will offer $1.99 video downloads of each episode on its own site, bypassing middlemen such as iTunes and Google Video. The catch? Your download "survives" only 24 hours after you buy it. Remember how well DIVX did?
Similar to the US Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Council of Norway, or Forbrukerrådet (PDF) strives "to achieve a balance of power between the consumer and the provider of products or services." This week, the council filed a formal complaint, citing several violations of Norwegian law in the fluid terms of service attached to iTunes music file downloads.
Make Your Own DRM CD
Make your own DRM CD! Nothing says "Merry Christmas" (or Happy Chanukah, et al) like a homemade CD with the same crippling DRM technology that Sony and BMG use. Let a friend or relative you know that you care enough to prevent them from stealing music you've already stolen, even at the expense of enjoying the CD at all. It's what the holidays are really about.
Weedshare & Magnatune announce distribution partnership
Below is a press release announcing a partnership between Weedshare and Magnatune. I tried to hit the DRM issue head-on in the release, as that's likely the most contentious issue with our existing Magnatune fans.
Bottom line: this is an alternative way for people to buy Magnatune music, in a scheme where they can themselves make money by sharing their bought files with other people, in what is typically referred to as an "affiliate network." We absolutely will continue to sell DRM-free music through the magnatune web site, but for those who wish to make money by sharing their files, that option is now there.

Sony pwns your computer part II
Sony steps in it again. In the midst of the uproar about the Sony rootkit previously mentioned here, J. Alex Haldeman found a second sneaky piece of work in Sony CD's. It's pretty clear now that the only safe way to listen to music from Sony is to steal it. [via]
Sony pwns your computer
Do you play Sony DRM-protected CD's on your computer? If so, you might be wide open in terms of security. It seems that Sony is installing an almost-impossible to find rootkit on the computers of purchasers of their music. Their EULA doesn't mention the fact that their "small, proprietary" program goes much too far, managing to bypass security software, firewalls, etc. You might want to do this, anyway.
Please don't give us free advertising
Ubisoft's demo of the new King Kong PC game comes with a lovely surprise: StarForce copy protection software. Starforce installs a device driver with no warning, and many users have complained that it causes system instability. It also appears totally contrary to the idea of allowing users to copy the demo between one another (effectively robbing Ubisoft of free advertising). As with any form of copy protection it appears StarForce is simply an annoyance to the casual user, while the dedicated pirates are well on their way to cracking it.
"Stand Up" for your DRM
Can you hear the future? Sunncomm can, and it's called copy protection. Sunncomm's Mediamax DRM, which blocks the purchaser from copying any files from the CD, is included on the latest Dave Matthews Band CD, Stand Up (as well as CDs from some other artists). The good news? It includes pre-ripped versions of the songs. The bad news? They're .WMA files. Apparently, Dave Matthews Band decided to help out all those iPod lovers who were getting hosed (perhaps in response to this) by posting instructions on how to bypass Sunncomm's copy protection. Of course, the last time somebody did that, he nearly got sued into oblivion. DMB's probably OK, however, because it seems that business is booming. Of course, that may not last long. [via] and [via]
All your content are belong to us
Think you're in full control of your computer? Think again. Intel has just quietly added one of the necessary components of Microsoft's (and the TCG/TCPA's) DRM technology, Palladium, to the PC platform. Some say this is a move against rampant Chinese software piracy, others think it's a power grab by the content producers. Left unchecked, content and software producers will have the final say in how you use your computer, fair use be damned.

Johannson on Trial for appeal
It's the equivalent of "You can play the CD on three designated CD players that support the DRM. Like, it will play ONLY on xyz brand cd player and only three of those that you pick. Yes, you have to stick to that brand of cd player (the iTunes player, the supported OS of iTunes, no unix support in sight) and too bad if you have a fourth one in the bedroom. It's not gonna play in your second car's player either. Nor in the kitchen. Nor on your neighbor's player. Nor can you trade it on the used market when you're tired of listening to it. "

DRM bad, beer good.
Jon Johansen of DeCSS fame has made a program that strips iTunes ACC files of DRM. Here is what he has to say about it. Maybe I will give iTunes a try after all.
The FCC won't let me be
You thought web standards were bad, how about PC, DVD and Recorder standards too? Well, the FCC has officially mandated that vendors making devices such as dvd players, recorders, pc's, must include (by July 1, 2005) copy-protection mechanisms which will prevent sharing of most digitally broadcast content. Broadcasters will have the option of adding a 'flag' to data streams which will prevent users from sharing digital content ala mp3's. Yes, there will be ways around this;yes, old systems will still work (maybe), but in the end, the FCC has just established a new technological standard which will end up in all of our new computers, dvd players, tivos, post 2005. Want to do something about it? Sorry. Too late.
The Super-Secret Shift Key
Student sued after revealing CD copying secret. Apparently SunnComm Technologies is under the impression that mentioning that using the "shift" key on your computer will override its program's installation is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. And also, the company's lost $10 million in market value since the story aired. Which may also have something to do with it.
The people:1, The Man:0
If you've bought one of BMG's new copy-protected CDs, remember to hold down the shift key while loading it into your PC. That one keystorke will let you be free to rip, mix, and burn it.
Digital Rights Management -- A Battle That Can't Be Won?
What is the Darknet? Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Darknet is. Okay, actually, it's a term that some Microsoft computer scientists came up with to refer to all the different ways that internet users can swap copyrighted materials. In a paper they authored [DOC] for a workshop on Digital Rights Management (DRM), these engineers predict that the Darknet will grow ever stronger and more efficient while DRM technologies will make legal right holders less able to compete with Darknet and are ultimately "doomed to failure."

WHAT IS THE CBDTPA? The law would force all new personal computers and digital home entertainment devices sold in the United States to have government-approved "policeware" built-in. This policeware would restrict your use of copyrighted material on these devices -- including music files and CD's, video clips, DVD's, e-books, and more.
Homer Simpson: Hack your DVD player.
Homer Simpson: Hack your DVD player. It seems in countries in which the DVD Copy Control Authority doesn't own the government, even the giants of corpmedia don't like the "protection" features the platform foists on consumers. On Fox's Simpsons UK DVD release FAQ page, Homer himself says "I have no idea whatsoever what regional coding means. But it is essential that you buy a multi-regional player. Do it now." Is the DVD region-coding system really only relevant in the United States?
Harry Potter released unprotected.
Harry Potter released unprotected. In a move that makes me say both "Wha?" and "Kickass!", Warner Bros chose to release the Harry Potter DVD and VHS home versions sans the Macrovision copy protection. It could stand to be quite an experiment, or quite a blunder on their part.
You too can be a felon!
You too can be a felon! Last year, the SDMI Foundation made a public challenge to see if anyone could crack 6 proposed protection mechanisms for digitally-encoded music. All six turned out to be feeble and all six fell. Since then, the SDMI Foundation has been relying on lawyers to cover up for the incompetence of their engineers. They're trying to suppress this article, so everyone reading this has a duty to make and store a copy of it. (Everyone should also own at least one copy of DeCSS. I have the 442-character C version printed on the back of my personal card.)
Microsoft to cripple MP3 capabilities
Microsoft to cripple MP3 capabilities I don't think anyone has posted this yet; Microsoft's new Windows XP operating system is set up so as to cripple MP3 copying, in order to nudge users into using Windows Media Player format for all their music files. Of course, the latter is a proprietary format with copy protection built in. Not only does the built-in software not copy MP3 files at a higher sampling rate than 56kps, but third-party MP3 software apparently does not work properly. --As usual, this will not stop knowledgeable users from finding workarounds, but the goal is to make unprotected copying too difficult for the average Joe.
The Dubya Administration backs the lawsuit against distributing or linking to the DeCSS utility. What's next?

Time Warner "improves" its DVD region coding
Time Warner "improves" its DVD region coding to crack down on region-disabled players. Sony plans to use the new encoding as well, and the rest of the industry is likely to follow along. A leaked memo explains the new plan, which Warner had been trying to keep as quiet as possible.
If you choose to accept this music file, Mr. Phelps, it will self-destruct after one listen. If you attempt to tamper with or share this file, it will also self-destruct. Thank you for your attention. End of Line.

Sony to introduce new CD format.
Sony to introduce new CD format. No, it's not DVD-Music. It's a new double-capacity CD format that Sony says "will be able to prevent illegal copying." I'm assuming the new format will require all-new hardware to read and to write. So my question is, what's the point? Won't another music format just increase consumer confusion and make them more reluctant to buy? Why come out with a 1.3GB format just as recordable DVDs, with much larger capacities, are becoming practical? Do they really expect people to buy all new hardware to support what is obviously a dead-end format?

New Rules
By Carl Fischer
With the passage of time and little sign of improvement in the housing and lending markets, we find ourselves seeking new solutions to old problems. Many folks who really need a house, do not qualify for a loan based on the new lender guidelines. And many who have applied, seem to constantly need "one more thing…" in order to go forward with their loan approval…. but they never get there.
Recently, I have had success connecting responsible potential buyers with frustrated, stock- market weary investors in an arrangement that works well for both.
One such scenario in process now connects a responsible wage-earner ("Joe" the buyer/tenant) who has demonstrated financial responsibility in the management of his resources, but whose income profile "doesn't work" for most lenders, with a conservative businessman ("Sam" the investor) who has a fair amount of cash now earning him .075 percent interest in bank CDs. (NOTE: According to the www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current- inflation-rate/ table, the current inflation rate is 3.9 percent. Our investor is LOSING MONEY by placing his reserves in CDs.)
Under this agreement, Joe signs a multi-year lease, and puts up a non-refundable cash deposit which protects Sam's interests. Sam then buys a home of Joe's choosing and leases it back to him at the market rate for a rental property. Sam collects interest only on his investment capital, while the remainder of Joe's payments cover the HOA, taxes and insurance.
Though Sam holds title to the property, Joe is responsible for all maintenance, repairs and improvements to the property during the term of the lease, and he has the right at any time prior to the end of the lease to buy the home at the price agreed to at the time of the original purchase of the property.
Everybody wins!
While this plan does not represent original thinking on my part, it does produce great results for all parties when a modicum of care and planning guides the process.
Parallel procedures have worked well in my commercial real estate business as well.
In order to sell commercial properties, which historically would go to end users, what I find myself doing today is leasing those properties instead to that "end-user", but structuring the lease so that the tenant ultimately gets to buy that property, thereby assuring himself the un- interrupted pursuit of his business.
Often, that's the only way the end user can achieve his goal, since most, if not all, of his start- up capital is used just getting the doors open while his new business builds to generate measurable revenue. Two or three years later, securing permanent financing from either the present owner, the SBA, or a local bank gets a whole lot easier because by then, the business man has a track record affirming his ability to meet his obligations in a timely and responsible manner.
What's important to keep in mind is the fact that life here in Western Loudoun goes on in any market.

The quarry is not "open to the public" except at the times listed below.
OPEN SWIM DATES & TIMES 2016 (Weather Permitting):
Last open swim of the season:
Saturday September 17th from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM
(In light of a strong turn out this past weekend, we reserve the right to stop admitting additional guests once we feel we are reaching maximal capacity.)
The quarry is a private swim area that is rarely open to individuals, except at select times, as listed above, where you may come as an individual, pay a $12 per person admission, and enjoy the quarry. Cash or check are accepted for payment, but not credit or debit cards. Children ages 11 and under are required to wear a life jacket at all times while swimming in the quarry. Life jackets are provided or you may bring your own. Persons ages 12 and above (including adults) will be eligible to take the "swim test". The swim test assesses endurance, treading, and quality of stroke, among other attributes. All grades on the swim test are final and re-testing is not permitted on the same day. When taking the swim test, please demonstrate your best swimming. A grade of PASS on the swim test means that person may elect to swim without a life jacket in the quarry. Those persons who do not want to take the swim test, or who do not pass the swim test, will have to wear a life jacket at all times while swimming in the quarry. The swim test includes, but is not limited to, jumping into the quarry, swimming, and treading water. Regardless of performance on the swim test, all swimming remains at your own risk. All swimming is at your own risk. The water is 25 feet deep. You will not be able to touch the bottom.
During "open swim" times, smoking, alcoholic beverages, cooking on site, fishing, and bringing your own dog (canine) are prohibited, however you may bring a picnic lunch and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy while at the quarry. Open Swim is an alcohol-free event. Please do not bring alcoholic beverages.
Open swim guests should enter at the Carrigan Farms West Entrance to get to the quarry. The address for GPS purposes is 1213 Oak Ridge Farm Hwy, Mooresville NC 28115. Please check this page often, as more dates may be added regularly throughout the summer.
Imagine yourself swimming in cool blue water, basking in the sun, serving one up on the sugar sand beach volleyball court, or playing stick till your arm gets tired with Murphy, the official party animal and director of fun. Swim parties are by advance reservation only and can be scheduled Monday through Thursday for groups sized 25 or more. You must have an advance reservation. Monday through Thursday available time slots are 9:30 am until 3:00 pm or 4:30 pm until 9:00 pm.

If you wish to reserve the Quarry for a swim party without catering or without any food or beverage, the cost is $12 per person plus the cost of lifeguards at $15 per hour, per lifeguard (see below for more info on lifeguards) . There is a 25 person minimum. Please call and we can help you reserve a private time exclusively for you and your guests.

All swimmers are mandated to use a life jacket while swimming in the quarry or pass the swim test. Guest must be at least 12 years old to take the swim test. We have adequate number of life jackets for everyone at your event.

If you have a favorite life jacket, that fits you well, be sure to bring that to your swim party. There are life jackets available for your usage at the quarry.

Humans have long held a deep fascination with the morbid. Before televisions and the Internet came along, this could be problematic: It's not as if people could just sate their thirst for freakology with a Twilight Zone marathon or a wee hours Creepypasta binge. What the people of the past did have, though, was an abundant supply of corpses and tons of spare time. Here's some of the horrible, horrible stuff they did with both of those things.
(Disclaimer: This article contains images that may disturb some younger readers and will absolutely kick your soul in the dick, regardless of age.)
6 Victorian Postmortem Photography
People of the Victorian era were into all sorts of kink that ranged from the ball-shrivelingly strange to the downright lethal. And once you were actually dead, things didn't get any less freaky: On the weird end of the Victorian fashion spectrum lurked memento mori pictures. When a family member passed away, the Victorians had photos taken of the dearly departed. These eerie shots served as grim keepsakes, reminders of the inevitability of death -- and fashionable home furnishings.
Luckily, the living looked just as creepy as the dead.
Originally, "memento mori" meant almost anything -- locks of corpse hair woven into jewelry, death masks, paintings of the deceased -- just so long as you were probably haunted for carrying it around, it counted as an MM. The advent of photography changed all this. Suddenly, the middle class could afford to have the pallid, waxy corpses of their loved ones immortalized on a budget. And, since early cameras had exposure times of up to 10 minutes -- meaning the subject would have to sit really still (corpses are generally pretty still, and if they're not, you've got bigger problems than a blurry picture) -- the photographers were generally down to take some soft-core photos of the dead.
The relaxed posture sometimes added a cheery, casual air.
For a truly fashionable corpse display, the bodies needed to appear as lifelike as possible. This was achieved with a number of cheats, not unlike the ones food photographers use to trick you into thinking a Big Mac is edible. A common technique was to prop the stiff's eyes open or paint pupils onto the developed picture (because that's what corpses need help with -- augmenting their unblinking vacant stares). Children were sometimes surrounded with their favorite toys and, for a side of extra creep, occasionally done up like zombified cherubs. For adults, a complicated pose-a-corpse apparatus enabled more complex stances.

Turn the crank to see him perform a jig.
Because that's how little Johnny should remember his loving dad -- staring balefully across the barriers of death while propped up like a meat Muppet.
5 Naga Trophy Skulls
In the Naga Hills of the Naga district of northeastern India, there lived a tribe called, surprise, the Naga. The Naga treated the skulls of fallen foes like video game currency: Collecting enough top-quality heads bought a warrior many privileges, such as access to special tattoos and ornaments that marked him as a great hero.
Tribal Art Asia
In case your victims' decorative skulls didn't already mark you as a badass warrior.
A post-headhunt Naga camp was a sight straight out of a horror movie: Heads would be left on open pedestals for months while the meaty parts rotted away. The bare skulls would be displayed in the communal warriors' hut, where aspiring young hunters were housed. Of course, extra points were scored for how formidable the opponent had been. Warriors had a tendency to decorate their trophies with stuff like animal horns and tusks, for the same reason kids slap lime green spoilers on their Honda Civics today.
Michael Auliso
Like Civics, skulls don't have to worry about drag. Because they're magic.
Among other things, these horned skulls were totally acceptable marriage dowries. If a headhunter wanted to strike up a romance with a lady, he'd give her the pimped out head of a vanquished enemy. Hey, it's a surprisingly sensible gift -- chocolate lasts a day, and flowers last a week, but that defiled skull will haunt you for a lifetime.
There's also the Indonesian Dayak tribe, who shared a lot with the Naga: They, too, were very aggressive headhunters who also displayed their trophy heads in communal long houses. The only difference was that their skull trophies were, if anything, way more fitting for your black metal band's debut album cover:
Tribal Art Asia
They did a DNA test. This was human. Superhuman.

Two of Arizona's three undecided congressional races were resolved Monday as Democrats Kyrsten Sinema and Ann Kirkpatrick claimed victory in District 9 and District 1, respectively.
Sinema, a former state lawmaker, will represent the Valley in a new district that Arizona gained this year to reflect population gains. Kirkpatrick will head back to Washington to represent the sprawling northeast Arizona district she represented from 2008 to 2010.
Both will be in Washington this week for freshman orientation.
Meanwhile, the race in Tucson-based Congressional District 2 between Rep. Ron Barber, a Democrat, and Republican Martha McSally remains too close to call. On Monday afternoon, Barber was ahead by about 700 votes. The lead has seesawed back and forth between the two since Election Day.
The decisions in Districts 1 and 9 put to bed two of the few remaining undecided races in the country. As of Monday, fewer than 10 tight races were still undecided.
Sinema, 36, had been clinging to a nail-biter of a lead with Republican Vernon Parker, 52, since Election Day.
But on Monday, she took a 5,789-vote lead at midday, with about 209,000 votes counted.
Parker, a former Paradise Valley mayor, called to congratulate Sinema on winning the district, which includes parts of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler. Arizona gained the seat this year due to population growth.
"I want to thank the voters and the people of Arizona," Parker said in a written statement sent to news organizations. "While I had wished for a different outcome, I will continue my public service so that everybody can follow the American dream just like I did."
The race was considered close for days due to the hundreds of thousands of early and provisional ballots uncounted in Maricopa County, a portion of which were in Congressional District 9. Elections workers are continuing to tabulate votes.
Sinema survived a brutal Democratic primary only to enter a general election where Parker used her own words against her when as a younger political firebrand she made controversial comments about stay-at-home moms, Luke Air Force Base and the Green Party.
But Sinema spokesman Rodd McLeod said she won the campaign by connecting with voters struggling in the tough economy.
"Kyrsten got into the race with a very clear idea about what people were going through and the kind of economic stresses that are on families," McLeod said. The election was about "who had the best ideas and the most concern for the middle class," he said.

Nancy Pelosi fades as power player
By: Jonathan Allen April 14, 2011 04:35 AM EDT
During the past election season, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) could have starred in a remake of the Hollywood cult classic Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. In an endless string of campaign ads, Republicans caricatured her even put her image on billboards as a political monster.
But now, the former House speaker more closely resembles The Incredible Shrinking Woman.
Her diminished stature has affected the way she is perceived in Washingtons power game and the way she handles her duties as head of the House Democratic minority. It all adds up to this: At times, the once-omnipresent Pelosi seems practically invisible in the Capitol.
When President Barack Obama, Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hammered out a deal last week to avert a shutdown and fund the government for the rest of the year, Pelosi was delivering a speech at Tufts University near Boston.
But her hands would have been idle if she had stayed in Washington: The White House didnt want her involved in the talks.
In fact, Democratic and Republican sources tell POLITICO, none of the power brokers wanted her in the room. They feared that her presence and her defense of liberal values would have made it impossible for Obama to cut a deal with Boehner. The sources say Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky also was excluded so the White House could justify keeping Pelosi out.

And this Nation is better because of it...
Good fo0r her. Now she will have more time to take care of her Depends.
"I'm mellltingggggg . . . . !
Can't someone just throw a bucket of water on her, watch her melt and be done with it?
I'm sure if you get just one more face-lift all will be well again.
Good idea! LOL!
Fades ? sags would be a better word.
No matter how much botox you use it doesn't take the ugliness away.
Pelosi took all the blame for November and now is humiliated.
Every time Pelosi calls her political opposition 'extreme' I dry heave. Twenty five years ago not a soul in DC took that leftist bizzy seriously.
Makes sense. Just thinking of her gives me shrinkage...
If only elections didn't mean so much Nasty would still be Queen B*tch.
One more face lift and her ears will be positioned on her butt cheeks...
You can't remove ugliness that comes from the inside.
One more face lift and she'll have a beard.
She is increasingly being recognized by all as a mentally unbalanced twit.
Good. The faster she fades, the less damage she can do to this country.
Unless she shaves...ewwww, gross...forget I said that.
She's like a friggin' virus. Never really gone, just hanging out, waiting to replicate and debilitate.
Her favorite poodle, Debbie Wassermoron Schmuck, is now the head of the DNC.
Nasty P's fingerprints are all over DC, even if she isn't making the cameos.
If that would work, it would definitely prove the theory that duct tape can hold ANYTHING together.
Sounds like the "Mythbusters" need to do an update to their "duct tape" episode.
Scratch another keyboard.
Thanks be that she's out of the picture for now. But if the Dems every get the House back, she will return with vengeance in that black heart of hers.
IMHO, excluding McConnell from just about anything is an excellent idea. RINO.
Pelosi fades... How splendid!

Quality soap-making consists in great part in choosing the right proportions of the right oils with their different fatty acids. Most commercial soaps skimp on quality because of cost, and use lots of tallow from beef fat with a little bit of coconut or palm kernel oil. Our unsurpassed soaps use olive, hemp, and palm oils instead of tallow, and use three to four times more coconut oil than commercial soaps. Saponified coconut oil generates high-lather cleansing even in hard water because it has shorter-chain saturated fatty acids. Hemp, olive, and palm based soaps make a mild, smooth, creamy lather, because these oils contain longer chain unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Pure Castile Soap has our most controversial label, as it includes Dr. Bronner's ecstatic love poetry. When the Almond Castile label is rhythmically recited while bathing and breathing in the almond-scented steam-misted waters of the inner bath-tub sanctum, people enter deep, dreamy, mystical trance states of super-sensuous luxuriousness and consciousness, and emerge from their bath as if from the Fountain of Life reborn, renewed, refreshed and ready to help unite the human race! All-One! All One!
The peppermint essential oil tingles the body and clears the mind. Because therapeutically peppermint oil is a mild stimulant it increases vitality and clarity. All oils and essential oils are certified organic to the National Organic Standards Program. Packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Enjoy 1 soap for 18 different uses! Guaranteed no synthetic peppermint oils & 100% vegetarian: super mild castile has outstanding water softening & cleansing powers. Preferable to harsh soap & defattening synthetics. It does not cut dirt, but dissolves it. It is the mildest, most pleasant soap you ever used. Enjoy body rub to stimulate body, mind, soul, spirit and teach the essene moral ABC uniting all free in the shepherd - astronomer Israel's greatest All-One-God-Faith!

Some friends get together and chat away with a cup of coffee in their hands or a plate of food in front of them. Gary King (Simon Pegg) would rather solidify the bonds of brotherhood through a massive pub crawl. Edgar Wright and company have finally dished out a couple more images for The World's End, and we're super happy to see them.
This Cornetto Trilogy, also known as the Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy, has been going on for years. The previous two entries in this trilogy include Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Since we're still a few months away from the third installment, The World's End, to be released, we're finding out even more on the latest picture through a new series of photos. For those of you who may not know, The World's End centers on an epic pub crawl conducted by a forty year old with the mind of an adolescent. When he convinces his childhood friends to try and go through the pub crawl again after twenty years, they not only have to deal with their own problems but that of the sudden apocalypse. That'll put a damper on any event.
Edgar Wright sat down and talked a little bit more about the upcoming movie. When asked about concluding the Blood & Ice Cream trilogy with The World's End, Mr. Wright had a few things to say.
Hopefully they might work like Michael Apted's 7 Up series. And if you factor Spaced into it as well, you'll see us getting older. But they have different concerns. I think this one is our way of wrapping up, with some formality, the man-child aspect of the series. There's an element within all of the movies that's about growing up. Shaun has to grow up to be a hero. In Hot Fuzz Nick Angel has to dumb down to Andy's level to save the day. And with this one I wanted to do something where… there's a lot of American comedies in the last 10 years that have been about man children or dealing with responsibility. But I feel that they never get too deep under the surface. They bring up some aspects but don't delve into them very deeply. And I think here we tried to skewer those movies in a sense.
While Edgar Wright didn't reveal all that's going on with the end of the world aspect of the film, surely we'll see some footage on it in due time. Check out the new series of images below.
Will you see The World's End when it comes out in theaters?

1-38 of 3,512 in Philippines
Philippines Vacation Rentals
Made up of more than 7,000 small islands, the Philippines is a friendly and ethnically diverse country with some of the most spectacular shoreline in Asia. Located in the South China Sea, the Philippines is less visited by foreign tourists than other countries in Southeast Asia, yet shares the gorgeous beaches and azure ocean that have made Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam famous. For most visitors, a trip to the Philippines is synonymous with a relaxing and inexpensive beach vacation. Along the miles and miles of coastline that surround the islands, visitors enjoy some of the world's best scuba diving, snorkeling, and water sports. With so many different islands comprising a single country, the Philippines is home to a variety of ethnic groups, languages, and traditions. Fortunately for travelers, English is spoken throughout the islands. Most trips to the Philippines begin in Manila, a large and bustling city with interesting culture and great food. When there, be sure to visit the walled city of Intramuros, as well as the Ayala Museum, which features Filipino art, craft, and history. From Manila, quick flights or ferries will link you to the many islands around the country.

Former homosexual shares story of Gods grace with Pinson churchcomment (0)
May 1, 2003
By Sondra Washington
More than 75 area worship leaders and choir members recently gathered at Clearview Baptist Church, Pinson, for a worship weekend that many of them may not soon forget.
Nationally known composer, worship leader and clinician Dennis Jernigan led the "We Will Worship" weekend at the church.
During the conference, Jernigan joined the church's "Sounds of Praise" choir and band in performing his worship musical.
He shared with the audience how he learned to lead worship and encouraged them to use their God-inspired creativity and spiritual gifts.
Jernigan, who was involved in a homosexual lifestyle as a young adult, also shared his personal testimony, which he uses to inspire others who have come to Christ but are still struggling to live with their past experiences.
Through his testimony listed on his Web site, Jernigan offers hope to the hurting.
"Your circumstances, your sins, your wounds may all be different than mine, but the answer is still the same — Jesus," he wrote.
"Do not receive the false guilt that Satan would try to put on you because of circumstances that were beyond your control. I urge you to deal with your own heart and the things you were and are responsible for like attitudes, actions, thoughts and feelings."
Throughout his life, Jernigan has seen the hand of God ministering to him. While working as a school bus driver, he remembers God inspiring him to write songs between his routes.
"I simply put my Bible on the piano during those in-between hours, opened to the Psalms, and did what David did," he said. "I simply got honest with God. This is also where I learned to be a song receiver — learned to wait on God and sing what I felt or sensed toward Him in praise."
It was during those times that he began crying out to God through singing, praying and journaling.
"I came to realize that God's love for me was not based upon how well I performed in this life but upon my recognition of His abiding presence in my life no matter how deeply into sin I had fallen and no matter how inconsistent I was in my love for Him," he noted. "My heart was broken when I realized there was nothing I could do to earn His love, because He loved me no matter what."
A few years later, after marrying and having children, Jernigan realized that God wanted him to share his testimony with others.
"God wanted to take the greatest failures and weaknesses of my life and make them my greatest strengths, and Satan wanted me to keep them hidden so he could use them against me," he said.
Jernigan continued, "But like the prostitute, Mary Magdalene, I realized that to hide those things kept me from fellowship and freely loving the One I loved the most, Jesus. Not only this, but if I confessed my past freely, Satan would have no ammunition against me. I want to lay down my life and reputation for others just as my Lord Jesus did for me."
Throughout this time, Jernigan's wife continued to support him wholeheartedly.
"Dennis is not the only one who has a story to tell," she said. "All of us who have been saved from ourselves, our sin, have a testimony of God's grace that when shared can give hope to the hopeless."
After delivering his testimony, Jernigan heard about God working in the lives of others who were hurting just as he had been. They included people who were dealing with homosexuality, abuse, rape and abortion.
"As they confessed their sins and hurts, Jesus was able to begin healing their past," he noted. "Since the day I first shared my past publicly, God has called me to tell others what He has done for me (and) to lead and call others into intimacy with Jesus through the avenue of music and worship."

Click here to see a picture of triceratops
by Dylen and Brandon
Triceratops means "three horned face." Triceratops looks strong and tough. It had three horns that were really sharp. He is 25-30 feet long and 9 1/2 feet tall. He lived in western North America and maybe in South America. They ate grass and bushes, leaves and berries and maybe plants that were underwater. Skeletons of triceratops have been found in Western Canada and the United States.

Difference equation tutorial- Part I: general concepts about sequences and first order difference equations
By: Carlo Sabatini
1. Definitions
In mathematics there are various definitions of sequence so that we adopt, among them, the most suitable with the purposes of this tutorial work. We define sequence a set of numbers each of them associated to a natural number n, supposing that the set of natural numbers includes the 0. Each term of a sequence a is written as . In general we will consider the term sequence and discrete function as synonyms. Each term an can be real or complex, so that there are real or complex sequences. If nothing is specified a sequence has to be considered as a real sequence.
Like a conventional function of real variable, a discrete function can be defined in explicit or implicit form. Defining a sequence in explicit form means to have a computational formula that permits for each n to compute the corresponding . A simple example of sequence defined in explicit form is
Defining a sequence in implicit form means to have an expression of the type
... combined with the initial conditions
An expression like the (1.2) combined with the initial conditions like the (1.3) is called recursive relation, or alternatively difference equation. The index k in (1.2) is the order of the difference equation. Solving a difference equation means to find, given the (1.2) and (1.3), an expression of the like (1.1). As we will see later, that is not always feasible or comfortable. The reason of the dual name will be explained indetail in a successive section.
2. Some basic sequences
Now we define some fundamental sequences that are commonly used practically in all branches of Mathematics. The first of them is the unit sample sequence, defined as
The unit sample sequence plays the same role of the impulsive function in the continuous functions set but, and that is remarkable, it doesnt suffer of any complication in the definition for n=0.
The second fundamental sequence [or, more exactly, fundamental set of sequences ] is the exponential sequence on base the general term of which is usually written as and defined by the recursive relation
It is important to precise that can be any real number, even negative and even 0,so that any ambiguity in the definition of doesnt exist indiscrete mathematics. In particular the sequence is different from the all zero sequence and is . A significant difference between continuous and discrete mathematics in in the fact that in the first the exponential function has as base the number e, defined as
That is in continuous mathematics. In discrete mathematics any real number can be the base of an exponential sequence and dont exist any particular privilege.
The last fundamental sequence we go to define is the factorial sequence, the general term of which is written as and defined by the recursive relation
Also for factorials the definition (2.3) eliminates any complication regarding , sothat we can say that that is an important common property of the three fundamental sequences examined in this section.
3. Transforming a recursive relation into adifference equation and vice-versa
The reason of the duality of the name is now explained starting from definition of first difference, second differenceand difference of order k. Given a sequence we define as first difference the quantity
and second difference the quantity
In general the difference of order k of a sequence is the quantity
An useful property of the recursive relation written in the form (1.2) is the fact that it can be rewritten in term of differences as
This possibility, as we will see in a successive section, may be very useful and an illustrative example is appropriate. The following second order recursive relation
is well known and, with the initial conditions and , it generates the Fibonaccis sequence. Now with simple steps the (3.5) is transformed in the form (3.4) as
In the successive sections we will use both the expression (1.2) and (3.4), simply taking into account which is more comfortable and in both cases will use the term difference equation

Chocolate Whoopie Pie with Cookie Dough/Marshmallow Fluff Filling
I love a good Whoopie Pie. My sister-in-law's husband's sister (got that?) gave me a Whoopie Pie pan a few Christmases ago and it's been a pretty amazing tool. It ensures that all my cookies turn out the same size and I don't have to fiddle with tablespoon measures trying to figure it out.
The recipe for these Whoopie Pies came from (of course) "The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook". This may be the first cookbook that I bake my way through. I think I've done about half the recipes at this point. I would like to point out that the author states that the recipe will make 20-24 whoopie pies, but she obviously was not using the pan I used, as I was only about to get nine-and-a-half out of the recipe. No worries, I had enough ingredients on hand to double the recipe and ended up with 20.
If these whoopie pies look tasty to you, you can try the Neapolitan Whoopie Pies I will be baking next Wednesday, June 12th for the Largehearted Lit event at Word Bookstore in Greenpoint. This event will feature the debut novels of two authors: Alina Simone, whose first novel "Note to Self" was released on Tuesday, and Julie Karkissian, whose novel "Dear Lucy" was published in April.
I'm excited to give these Neapolitan Whoopie Pies a try, as I'll be going off book. I recently attempted a Black and White Cookie version and it was okay, but I'm eager to apply the same principles (and a fresh strawberry filling!) to this new recipe! I hope to post the recipe next week!

Hilary Duff Plastic Surgery Before and After Photos
Something good will not always run as planed, that's what we can say about Hilary Duff 's activities as a celebrity. As many people know, a celebrity's lifestyle is not far from plastic surgery procedures. Some of them might be proud of their successful procedures and some of them might feel regret for their decisions. Hilary Duff , an America singer and actress has felt those two feeling – happiness and regret. What plastic procedures did she have?
Hilary Duff had several kinds of plastic surgeries including a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty several years ago, and lip augmentation recently. She brought herself to the world of excitement after she had a successful rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. In the past, her nose was a bit reshaped and made narrower, but not too much. Her breasts had a significant change. She had already resized the breasts to be a lot bigger and rounder than the boobs she had in the past.
Both plastic surgeries might boost her confidence, for she looked more beautiful and can impress many people. Unfortunately, she then decided to do another plastic surgery, but it didn't run as she planned. She got a lip augmentation, where the lips were injected with too much fillers. The naturally sweet lips she had in the past had changed into fish lips. They looked too plump and weird.
She might have disappointed her friends, they imagine how could the beautiful princess named "Hilary Duff " turn into an ugly creature. Besides those 3 plastic surgeries, she is also rumored to have had a bad dental veneer. Hilary should learn from this experience that plastic surgery might be a good friend but sometimes it can be a cruel foe.

I love a good sensible idea. When you think about it, a little more preventative reminding could actually save lives:
Eager to combat drunken driving during the holidays, police are distributing pint glasses embossed with the logo of the Bennington Police Department to bars and restaurants. About 160 of the glasses, manufactured by Catamount Glass and donated to the department, are being given away in hopes that those using them will think twice about getting behind the wheel if they've had too many. "It should give awareness to people and make them pay attention a little more," said T.J. Carmody, owner of Carmody's restaurant, which got three cases of the glasses last week. "We're not telling people they can't have a good time, just to be more responsible."No shaming of the loving of beer, no waiting for the tragic result of a stupid decision. In the good old days of Halifax undergrad, police stood in the beer store on Friday nights and walked the sidewalks of the main bar areas - even walking through joints. And no one minded. And you knew their names. And when they told you to take care you did. That is all these glasses do. Great idea.
Here is the story on the Bennington Police Department's own website where I...errr...borrowed the image above showing (l. to r.) program participants Lt. Paul Doucette, T.J. Carmondy, Adam Volpi. We've been in Bennington Vt a few times this year driving from Albany to Maine. A great town.

Skip to comments.Pelosi: Mitt Romney is not going to be President of the United States
Posted on 09/16/2012 10:23:18 AM PDT by Perdogg
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi refused to even entertain the idea of working with Mitt Romney to solve the nations problems on Sunday.
Why? Because Mitt Romneys not going to be President of the United States, she told CNNs Candy Crowley, bursting out into laugher. I think everybody knows that, right?
(Excerpt) Read more at redalertpolitics.com ...
Spoken like a true, arrogant Nazi. I'll bet lardass believed her.
That's funny, I thought you had to have an election first to find out who wins.
Pelosi is such a fool......she still doesn't realize that Obowa had his time as prez and FAILED MISERABLY. Leave office, Pelosi. You have never spoken the truth.
...and you will never be sane Nancy.
She's gonna slpode on November 6th.
On one hand, I believe Romney will win! On the other, he'll be dancing with Pelosi in January as he "crosses that aisle". And he will cross that aisle.
That's ok Nan, Republicans will regain the Senate and we'll just walk all over you!
So, you won't have to worry about "working" with anybody!
Like the rest of the MarxoFascists in power - she knows that the fix, fixes and machinations - are in to make sure Obama has 100% of the vote (or at least enough to make it look legit).
Obama is going nowhere in January.
Not because of an election gone Cook County nationally.
Doesn't anyone here understand the history of Marxists in power, or not?
There is only one way Obama and his hordes leave power, and it is not going to be due to an election.
Not when history and the nature of Marxists in power is any clue.
In a sane country this mouthy old bag would be confined to a rocking chair on the back porch, yakking at the squirrels.
She will blame it on the people having a 'temper tantrum' ala Peter Jennngs or more likely overt racism.
Conservatives not so secret weapon.Oh how we do despise that woman.
good news as during the same interview she also said the rats would win back the House: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2931951/posts
keep leading them off the cliff windbag...
Not kidding.
Nancy will never find reality again.
..."Thats funny, I thought you had to have an election first to find out who wins"...
Oh, no, you do not have to have elections in her eyes..Remember, she said, "You have to pass the bill to find out what is in it." This woman will prove over time to have been one of the most serious blights of all time on our national history..I would say in about 50 years when the country has had time to learn about her term in office, her name will likely be mud.
Romney's a sleazy push over. He started to say something about the sick policy that led to the Islamist take over of the Middle East and he was shouted down.
If you let thugs intimdate you, you're weak and they stomp you.
Seen or heard anything from little Mittens? Daddy George's favorite little boy?
Nope. The Angry Negroes of the Democratic Party successfully Mau-Maued him.
The clown is toast. This was the Carter Moment and he blew it. Reagan would have been all over it.
IF a republican said this about Obama, every major network would be nonstop attacks about how arrogant they were, how racist, and how it was "this attitude" that kept us from fixing things.
I bet a few shots of Botox that Pelosi is indeed an Idiot! Anyone?! =.=
And also this oldie from 2 years ago.
One thing I know for sure is that Democrats will retain their majority in the House of Representatives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during an interview with The Hill, May 19 2010
didn't happen.
and you will be wrong again...we Americans are feed up with you and Hussein...watch us ROAR...
So Witch,.....you're going resign/retire on Nov 7th, EH?
Thanks Perdogg.
Behold Baghdad Bob's vile, ugly twin. May they spend eternity together in Hades.
Pelosi predicted the Dems would hold the House in 2012.
Only one flaw in your theory; Marxist controlled countries, and Cook County have disarmed it's citizens, the majority of the rest of Our Nation is armed to the gills.
Hmmmmm.Shades of Romania.
Nanacy Pelosi, caught in the avalanche of history.
How she got so far as she did, is a mystery.
She had her turn as the Speaker,
And left America so much weaker,
Now she reads minds and practices palmistry.
As a prognostigator, her record is not so great. Even now, she may not have much of an idea what is in the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act", probably the most inappropriately named piece of legislation EVER to be signed into law, but a lot of others DO know, and they don't like it, not one bit.
But as she so famously said, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it!"
Which was kind of putting the cart before the horse.
Oh, yeah, she was going to see the end of "the culture of corruption" in Washington, too.
CALL THE NETWORKS NOW AND TELL THEM THAT FOCUSING ON FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE DEBATES IS DISGUSTING. Of course, that's the reason 0bama ALLOWED the Libyan Embassy to be attacked, right? To change the focus of the debates. Foreign policy isn't the strong suit for Romney and Ryan, either. Get ready for little to no discussion of the economy in the upcoming debates.
Mitt Romney is not going to be President of the United States!
- SF Commie Bitch
OK, what might that old bat know this time around? When asked about a possible Newt presidency a few months ago, didn't she say something like, "That's not going to happen because I know something?"
Well the left wing has become pretty polarizing. So I don't know what there will be to compromise with these goons. Even John McCain and Gerald Ford are not enough these days for them. Trust on this. They will attack Romneycare these days.
Incredible isn't it? I mean what does this Kenyan Marxist have to do to lose? It's just not the same country anymore. The demographics have completely changed, and the libs did it right in front of our noses. They radicalized the kids in school, got the radicals to swarm into the country, brainwashed blacks into subservient zombies, and now they couldn't F up an election even if they tried. And they tried haven't they? Denouncing God on national TV. Even THAT hasn't hurt them! Like Ann Coulter said in an article she wrote last month: Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California. Today that would be impossible.
i would have busted out into laughter as well
who in the right mind would vote 0failure back in?
oh, sorry... 'right mind' and progressives are mutually exclusive
Remember when she confidently declared that Democrats would hold control of the House in 2010?
She always confidently declares things in her favor.
And oddly, I haven't heard Mittens make an issue out of that.
But Hussein did. He seized power from the Congress and ignored the laws by not just refusing to enforce them but bureaucratically nullifying them.
Romney said nothing. Wouldn't want to upset anyone, would we?
Cowards lose.
"It (unemployment checks) creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Nancy Pelosi - 2010
For those of you still holding out on voting for Romney, isn't it worth it now to vote Romney and make Piglosi eat her words?
Ha ha hahahahhaaaa. ROFL... :D
Yep, that pretty well settles the issue. Obama is doomed fer shur
Wow the Freetards found this thread fast...hmm...
Hate to say it but the old skank is probably right. Their strategy for illegal voting and adopting free loaders, union thugs etc can put them over the top. While Romney plays the wimp and fails to go after the messiah
Like you, I too think Pelosi may have it correct UNLESS Romney gets off his butt and starts kicking butt himslef.
The Demodummies have numerous ways to rig the upcoming election and don't think for a nanosecond they are not working on all those options already.
And why do you think this regime has demonized gun owners, Conservatives, vets, Constitutionalists and the TEA Party as domestic terrorists?
Before you legally imprison and then exterminate a segment of a population - you demonize them first so criminalizing them is accepted by the masses.
That part is done.
Add use of drones on American soil - and some Obama drone who played video games all his life is going to play DOOM on you and your household without any possibility of remorse whatsoever.
Americans have absolutely no clue what time it is in this country.
But I fear we are about to find out.

ENON, Ohio — Authorities in western Ohio are investigating a fatal accident involving a train.
Deputies in Clark County say the train struck a 17-year-old walking on the tracks Friday afternoon near the town of Enon, about 55 miles west of Columbus.
Investigators said they don't know whether the teen heard the train or why he was on the tracks.
Detectives plan to review footage from a camera on the train.
The train engineer and conductor told detectives that the teen was walking in the middle of the tracks with his back to them. They said the train's horn was sounded.
