Phelps and a few more are gone, but most of the same will be back. Sometimes it's nice to be the Yankees/Man U. I know that swimming is a niche sport and I'm fully aware of its place in the sports world, but it's a big deal in our family and community where we live.
Phelps will be back. Give him two years to cock around and stay away from the grind, and then he'll get the itch.

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

5 Big CES Products That Tanked
Unless you're working at a tech company or cover technology and are in Vegas sampling the wares and meeting people within the industry, CES is just a barrage of announcements touting the next big thing. For a couple of days in the desert, any one product or gadget can become the next big technological advance humankind can't life without. A few weeks later, it can turn into a tech afterthought taking up shelf space retailers wish they could use for more popular products.
Does anyone remember what the big product launches from last CES were? Something to do with a television, perhaps? A 3-D printer? It doesn't matter. Regardless of what companies would have you believe, consumer behavior is shaped less by the big blockbuster item than by the smaller ones at the fringes. A new game console is worth only as much as the game titles and online support that come with it. A smartphone's design will get it only as far as its base of mobile apps can take it.
Basically, unless you're unveiling a game-changing technology such as high-definition television (which debuted at CES in 1998), Blu-ray discs (2003) or, arguably, 3-D television (2009), there's only so much impact a manufacturer can get out of one device. At some point, all the hype just hurts when a product can't live up to expectations.
We took a look back at the past decade of CES and found five products that didn't quite make their way out of the desert:
5. Intel(INTC) Wireless Display
Sometimes it's not the idea that's bad, but the way it's implemented.
Intel's idea to wirelessly transmit 720p high-definition signals from a laptop to a television screen was not only good when it was introduced at CES in 2010, but should sound awfully familiar to anyone who owns an Apple (AAPL) TV box today. Unfortunately, it made it into only a select few laptops and required a $99 set-top box to use.
It also never found its way into smart TVs, Roku and Boxee boxes, Blu-ray players or any of the myriad other devices that ended up giving the laptop a pass and bringing online content directly onto living room televisions. Like Apple TV, it's still a pretty efficient way of putting the contents of your laptop's screen onto a television. Unfortunately, as more consumers shift to mobile devices, there's less demand for what's on fading laptops.
4. Nokia(NOK) Lumia 900
C-Net considered this the best cellphone the 2012 CES had to offer. It loved seeing Nokia returning to the U.S. market after a brief hiatus and teaming up with Microsoft(MSFT) on a Windows 7 with a swanky design, touchscreen display, strong camera and 4G support.

Cozumel Butterfly Sanctuary Tour & PalMar SMALL Snorkel Beach Club
In an effort to help conserve and showcase the indigenous butterfly population of Cozumel, Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary began operations in November 2006.
The mission of the
Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary
is to increase awareness and foster an appreciation of butterflies and other invertebrates while educating the public about the need for conservation and preservation of threatened habitats on the island of Cozumel.
Scientific research done years ago documented over 70 different species of butterflies flying throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. However, up until now, no documentation existed as to which species were specific to Cozumel Island. Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary is actively engaged in the accumulation and documention of Cozumel's butterfly population and lifecycles in order to aid conservation efforts.
The Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary is a federally licensed program which is managed to comply with and operate under strict guidelines for wildlife flora and fauna preservation throughout Mexico. Located inside PalMar Beach Club, Patas Y Alas (Wings & Feet) is one of only two licensed sanctuaries in the State of Quintana Roo and the only butterfly sanctuary on the island.
A visit to the sanctuary's natural tropical foliage garden will provide guests with the chance to view many different species of butterflies in free flight, resting and feeding in a very natural habitat environment. Guests can take a leisurely stroll through the garden to smell the fragrant jungle flowers and watch butterflies of all colors, shapes and sizes flying all around and learn about butterfly habits and the miracle of metamorphosis.
Enjoy the butterflies and afterward stay and enjoy the other ammenities of Palmar SMALL Snorkel Beach Club - excellent shore snorkeling, freshwater pool and spa, lockers, snack bar, snorkel gear rental, lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas.

Dear Sherri -
I just wanted to tell you how much my friend and I enjoyed spending the day at Palmar when we were on a cruise last week. Juan and Enrique are 2 of the most gracious, polite, and accommodating gentlemen I have ever met. This was my second visit to Palmar and the first for my friend. She was overwhelmed by the hospitality, and we both enjoyed Enrique's tour and explanation of the butterflies. Thank you again for a wonderful day at Palmar. Sincerely, JG

We just returned from our 7th visit to Cozumel and we visited the butterfly sancturary with our six year old and we absolutely loved it! We know the island very well and this was our first vist to the beach club and now we have a new favorite to add to our island list. We don't do alot of touristy things when we are on the island, but this place is worth it. Beautiful, educational and relaxing! What more could you ask for! We will return to Cozumel in November and we will definitely head for the butterfly sanctuary and PalMar beach club!

Design on a Dime: VDI
If you think desktop virtualization is still a niche technology, tune into any talk radio station for an hour or so. You're bound to hear an advertisement touting the benefits of desktop computing in the cloud. For our money, when vendors start pitching directly to consumers, you know a tech must be relatively easy to use.
Desktop virtualization can also be cost-effective. Forty-five percent of 483 respondents to our InformationWeek 2012 Alternative Application Delivery Survey use technologies such as VDI or application streaming to field mission-critical applications to internal clients. Of those who've done TCO studies, 39% say VDI is somewhat or much less expensive than their current desktop strategies.
Sure, we know the conventional IT wisdom that VDI is a costly, complex proposition that demands armies of staff and a huge budget. But conventional wisdom no longer applies. Let's face it, if some cloud company can rent a virtual desktop and make a profit, you can probably save money and pocket that profit for yourself by deploying in-house.
Our Design on a Dime series is all about new and creative ways for small businesses and branch offices to deploy big business technology in a low-risk, intelligent, measured and budget-friendly way. In this edition, we'll explore what deploying VDI costs today and discuss why you might be able to save a ton of cash by ditching your clunker fat-client PCs in exchange for something less costly to maintain, like an inexpensive netbook or zero-client computing device.

Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect all the following details (Section 20(4)):
Over 80 years of excellence and innovation have propelled South African Airways (SAA) to become Africa's leading carrier. The following timeline features select highlights of our reputable history.
The history of South African Airways dates back to 1 February 1934, when the South African government took over the assets and liabilities of Union Airways. The airline was renamed South African Airways (SAA), and fell under the control of the South African Railways and Harbour administration.
On 1 November 1934, SAA introduced Junkers Ju 52/3m, the first multi-engine aircraft, which was used on domestic flights. During the 30s, the airline steadily acquired more planes, including the first 10-seater Junkers Ju 86s, DC-3s, Constellation L-749As, Lockheed Lodestar, DC-7Bs Vickers Viscounts and the Boeing 707.
The outbreak of World War II resulted in SAA being divided into two wings: a defence wing controlled by the Department of Defence and a commercial wing controlled by the Administration. The entire fleet and 22% of its personnel were taken over by the Department of Defence.
On 24 May 1940, South African Airways became a military wing, and all commercial services were suspended until December 1944. The International Air Transport Association was founded in Havana in April 1945, and SAA became one of 44 active founding members.
SAA modernised in-flight service and entertainment by introducing air hostesses on domestic flights and a cinema on the direct service between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The official opening of Jan Smuts International Airport was held in Kempton Park on 17 April 1952. The following year, SAA operated its first Comet Springbok service from London to Johannesburg using a BOAC Comet, and in the process became the first airline outside the UK to operate jet aircraft.
The SAA fleet continued to grow when the Minister of Transport announced his decision to order three Boeing Intercontinental jet aircraft for delivery in 1960.
The 1960s brought a number of firsts. South African Airways extended its orange tail insignia across the entire fleet. In March 1967, we introduced our first weekly jet service between South Africa and Australia. The following year, we made an inaugural flight from Jan Smuts Airport to Rio de Janeiro using a Boeing 707.
On 24 April 1976, South African Airways operated the world's first commercial flight using a Boeing 747SP. The aircraft flew on the Johannesburg-Lisbon-Rome-Athens service.
The 70s welcomed new arrivals: our first Boeing 747B, ZS-SAN 'Lebombo' and Airbus 'Blesbok'. At the same time, we sought to improve our traffic growth on domestic and regional routes by purchasing 12 Boeing 737s, three Boeing 747SPs and four Airbus A300s.
On 6 January 1977, the Boeing 747SP made its first scheduled flight between Johannesburg and Sydney. The flight offered in-flight audio entertainment and movies.
In April 1981, South African Airways introduced a three-class service for an Australian flight: Blue Diamond First class, Gold class for Business passengers and Silver class for Economy class travellers.
Due to economic sanctions, flights to New York were suspended in November 1986. The USA withdrew from its landing rights in South Africa. The following year, the Australian government took the same action against South Africa.
The 90s evoked a decade of positive change and renewed relationships. For the first time in 28 years, SAA flights operated via Sudan and Egypt. Economic sanctions against South Africa were lifted, and flights to New York and Australia resumed.
On 25 March 1994, South African Express Airways was granted a license to operate domestically, and South African Airways became a shareholder.
On board domestic flights, SAA introduced multi-lingual greetings in English, Zulu, Sotho and Afrikaans. On international flights, passengers were greeted in the relevant language of their destination.
SAA's Cadet Pilot Training programme was launched to provide previously disadvantaged individuals an opportunity to become pilots. On 22 March 1997, SAA unveiled a new corporate identity with its aircraft tail designed to reflect the colours of South Africa's new national flag: red, blue, gold, black and green.
South Africa signed a R1.4 billion deal, giving SAirGroup, the holding company of Swissair, a 20% stake in South African Airways.
South African Airways embarked on an extensive fleet renewal programme and appointed Airbus as its supplier. The airline placed a staggering order for 41 new aircraft with a price tag of US$3.5 billion - Africa's biggest jetliner acquisition.
For a simpler, smarter and faster way to check in, SAA launched an online check-in system and a self check-in kiosk.
SAA signed a US$200 million deal with Rolls Royce to supply the airline's nine A340-600s with Rolls Royce Trent 500 engines.
After an absence of more than 40 years, South Africa was reinstated as a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Thereafter, we became a member of the global Star Alliance in April 2006, and with it came seamless worldwide air travel. In addition, we unveiled two Star Alliance branded aircraft – a 737-800 and Airbus A340-600 – as part of the global network's requirements.
On 29 November 2007, we became the proud official carrier of the South African rugby team, the Springboks, as part of a sponsorship agreement between the airline and South African Rugby.

Ouch... it feels like your head is about to explode. The sinus pressure and pain are unbearable. Your doctor prescribed pills that make you nauseous, and they don't help. You're exhausted, depressed and helpless… But don't despair...
Read this site in detail and discover how to
heal your SINUSES - THE NATURAL WAY!
Sinusitis is caused by an inflammation or infection of your sinus cavities. These cavities are located around the nose and behind the eyes. Inflammation is your body's way of reacting to irritants; this reaction produces redness, swelling, mucus, and pain.
There are two types of sinusitis:
If you went to a doctor with your sinus problem, there's a 90% chance you got a prescription for antibiotics. But in many cases sinus infections are not caused by a bacteria but by a virus, fungi (mold) or other allergen. Antibiotics kill only bacteria and have no effect on viral or fungal infections, but doctors keep prescribing one course of antibiotics after another…
The good news: you can get better naturally without harmful antibiotics or chemical drugs that only mask symptoms.
Introducing Sinuvil™
Sinuvil™ is a safe, natural, holistic product that goes to work on the source of the problem and not just the symptoms. Sinuvil is for people who seek natural alternatives to antibiotic or chemical drug treatments.
Sinuvil is recommended for patients with acute sinus infection as well as for patients with recurring chronic sinus infections.
While other natural products are based on traditional use of herbs and folklore, Sinuvil is formulated based on modern scientific research. Sinuvil helps your body fight acute and chronic sinusitis, thanks to its soothing herbs that relieve sinus pains naturally. It thins out mucus to help your sinus cavities drain faster, effectively relieving pressure and headache.
The key ingredient - the amazing pelargonium plant – was proven to prevent viruses and bacteria from attaching to the cells.

Lhasa Apso History
- Recent DNA studies indicate that the Lhasa Apso is among the 14 most ancient breeds recognized by the AKC.
- The Lhasa apso is an ancient breed from Tibet, where it was revered in the villages and monasteries.
- The dogs acted as monastery lookouts, sounding the alarm at the arrival of visitors. This gave rise to their native name of Abso Seng Kye, which means bark lion sentinel dog. The name Lhasa apso may be derived from this.
- The souls of llamas were believed to enter the dogs' bodies after the llamas died, which added to the reverence given these dogs.
- When the breed first came to England in the early 1900s, it was called the Lhassa terrier.
- The breed came to America around 1930. It was recognized by the AKC in 1935. At that time it was assigned to the terrier group, but it was reassigned to the Non-sporting group in 1959.
- The Lhasa's popularity has risen slowly but steadily in the last two decades
Lhasa Apso Behavior Concerns
- Makes a loyal and entertaining companion.
- Playful and good with children.
- A one family dog, tending to be aloof toward strangers. Early socialization so that it willingly accepts new people is important.
- Generally friendly toward other dogs and pets.
- Tends to be bold, stubborn and independent, which makes training using force methods extremely unproductive.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food or games.
- Some tend to bark a lot.
- Housetraining can be more challenging than with many other breeds.
Lhasa Apso Suggested Exercises
- Makes an active and alert housedog.
- Although many of its physical exercise needs can be met with indoor games, it still needs the mental stimulation of walking and sniffing outdoors.
- A walk around the block once or twice daily will meet its outdoor needs, not counting bathroom breaks.
- Many Lhasas have been trained to use indoor potty systems.
- Does well at dog parks as well as it is separated from large dogs.
- Does not tend to enjoy hot weather.
- Swimming is not recommended unless constantly supervised.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
Lhasa Apso Grooming
- Coat is long, hard and straight.
- Brushing and combing every other day is necessary to prevent mats.
- Many pet owners elect to have their dogs professionally groomed, or clipped into a trim that is more easily cared for.
- Hair must be kept out of eyes to avoid irritation.
- The hair around the anus must be checked daily for hygiene issues.
- Shedding is below average.
Suggested Lhasa Apso Nutritional Needs
- Lhasa apsos tend to stay in good weight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

The Digital Skeptic: Moms Have an Ugly Toy Story for Ken and Barbie
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Heather O'Neil, Pat Graves and Tracy Vaninger are three moms with one scary bedtime story to tell big toy companies.
"The DIY trend kind of helped us," O'Neil told my assistant Alex a few months back. O'Neil is the owner of Happy Doodles , a Needham, Mass.-based on-demand stuffed toy company. "It got people thinking in terms of custom things not having to cost millions of dollars."
This mother and entrepreneur, who has absolutely zero engineering or manufacturing background, has reinvented herself as a high-tech toy innovator. By cleverly kludging together off-the-shelf digital design and fabrication systems, O'Neil is becoming a next-gen child's toymaker.
With toys starting at $25, she does something giants including Mattel (MAT) , Hasbro (HAS) and LeapFrog (LF) tend not to: make a reasonable dollar turning your child's doodles into a ridiculously cute, fully stuffed, plush toy.
And she is just one of many successful high-tech toy elves. Though the three did not disclose sales, all said business was steadily growing.
"It's definitely an Internet thing," says Graves, who runs Omaha, Neb.-based My Own Cuddly , one of many just such on-demand, small-fab toymakers Alex and I found. "It's all just done out of a room in my house."
It might be easy to dismiss "moms with CAD" as no threat to star kids' brands such as Barbie, Hot Wheels or Star Wars. But in these digital times, that would be like dismissing blogging as no threat to newspapers. It turns out that these innovators sit on a leading edge of a shift in the toy, kids and youth media market -- away from established companies.
"I'm a businesswoman, so whenever I see something my mind always goes to, 'How can we develop a business around that?'" said Vaninger, yet another owner/mom who presides at on-demand plush doll fab shop Sunny Little Studio in St. Louis.
Which means, friends, just as toy giants report optimistic performance and gather for their yearly Toy Fair confab, the toy business is beginning to slog through the same value-crushing digital disruption suffered by publishing, music and financial services.
An ugly toy story
For starters, research is confirming what any parent will tell you: Kids are living in a strange new digital content age where established brands are less important.
"American families see tablets as playmate, teacher and baby sitter," said a 2012 report from New York-based Nielsen. And this portable kids portal is essentially defined by the gobs of cheap content cash-strapped Internet companies are pouring into it.
In late 2012, Amazon (AMZN) rolled out the Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, an all-you-can-eat kids tablet content buffet of mainline brands such as Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Nickelodeon and dozens more. All starting at just $3 a month -- a fraction of what cable or satellite TV charges for the same stuff.

Have you ever caught your dog dragging her butt across your carpet? This behavior, known as "scooting," may seem funny at first, but it can actually be a sign of a serious pet health issue that may require medical treatment. Scooting may indicate that your pet is experiencing anal gland problems in dogs.
Anal glands, often referred to as anal sacs, are two small pouches on the either side of your dog's anus. They're lined with sebaceous, or sweat glands, which contain an odor that likely does not smell good to your human nose. For dogs, however, these glands secrete an odor that acts as a "calling card," reports VCA Animal hospitals. The oil from the glands is squeezed out when a dog defecates, which may help explain why your dog enjoys sniffing droppings of other canines while out on walks.
Understanding anal sac disease
Anal sac disease is a common illness among dogs, VCA reports. It occurs when the ducts in the anal glands become inflamed, causing them to become impacted. This can lead to pain in dogs when the animal has to pass feces. Scooting is the first clinical sign of anal sac disease, and if you witness unexplained dog aggression when you touch your pet's tail or rear end, then there's a chance she is suffering from this problem. Additionally, you should call your vet if you see any blood or pus exuding from your animal's rectum.
Treating the illness
According to VCA, anal sac disease can happen to dogs of any size or breed. Fortunately it can be treated by expressing (or squeezing out) the sacs. If the glands have become severely infected or impacted, they may have to be "flushed out." Your vet might prescribe your dog with a sedative or anesthetic to keep her calm and reduce her pain during this experience.
In extreme cases, removal of the sacs may be necessary. Though this is a serious and specialized surgery, it should not adversely affect the health of a domesticated canine. Your pet may have loose stool following this surgery, though this will only last for one to three weeks. Some dogs, particularly those who are obese, are likely to experience anal sac disease more than once.

Strategy: Achieving Compliance in the Smart Grid
North American Electric Reliability Corp. Critical Infrastructure Protection compliance is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive and rigorous sets of industry standards to meet. That's a good thing, because there's a lot on the line if the smart grid isn't guarded with every conceivable degree of protection. While CIP is much too onerous a mandate for private business to comply with (generally speaking), we can pick and choose from many of its security practices in an effort to help protect environments outside of the energy space.
In this report, we examine what CIP standards mandate and take a look at the regulatory bodies that have oversight responsibility for auditing and enforcing CIP. We will also discuss how some of the unique security requirements of the energy sector can be leveraged more widely to secure enterprise environments.

Last week, the Midwest was clobbered by a massive blizzard, and it's more than likely that other parts of the U.S. will be hit by snow before the season's over. This can cause a big headache for pet owners who find that their dog doesn't like the white stuff. If your canine companion is adverse to snow, here are some tips that can make winter easier on both of you.
What's got your dog's tail in a twist?
Before you jump to the conclusion that your dog simply hates snow, you should try to figure out if there's something else that's upsetting him. Perhaps it's not the precipitation but the cold temperature that he finds unpleasant. If this is the case, you should make sure any dog grooming you do keeps his coat full and healthy, as this is the dog's number one insulation against the cold. Canines with thick coats won't need jackets, but short-haired or hairless dogs might need a few extra layers to keep the cold at bay.
Other dogs may be perturbed not by the snow itself, but by treatments people put out to reduce ice and other wintery buildup. You can encourage neighbors to use pet-friendly salt, which won't cause pain in dogs, or consider investing in a pair of booties or a wax solution that will keep your canine companion's paws safe.
You should also bring your pet to one of your local vet clinics to make sure his dislike of the cold isn't due to a more serious problem with his health. For example, pain from arthritis in dogs can sometimes be exacerbated by plunging temperatures.
If you're raising puppies, then the issue may be that your canine companions are simply unfamiliar with snow. You can help them get over this by introducing them to it slowly with short walks or by bringing some snow inside and letting them investigate it in a safe space.
If he truly hates snow
If you find that your dog still doesn't want to go out much, even with paw protection and an extra coat, then it may be an indication that your pet truly dislikes snow. This is nothing to worry about - part of what makes dogs such fantastic companions is that each has his own quirks and personality traits. However, it will mean you need to take a few extra measures to make sure he stays healthy until the snow melts away.
Because your dog won't want to go out as often, you will likely see a decline in the number or duration of your daily strolls. This is OK, provided that your dog is still able to relieve himself and you take extra measures to make sure he remains fit. Purchasing a few toys that can be thrown around the house will help your dog stay in shape.

Posted on 12/13/2012 6:45:08 AM PST by TonyInOhio
click here to read article
"Data about Americans "reasonably believed to constitute terrorism information" may be permanently retained."
Reasonably is subjective.
Today, Dec 13, 2012, the Taliban is the friend
of the US gov't, and the US people who support
the US Constitution are its new enemy.
But don't let our military operatives criticize the Taliban...
Question is; Now what?
It can't happen here! Why we...........never mind.
People drawn to careers in government are all about control; it's their meat and drink, their whole raison d'etre.
They believe they are in a better position to know what's good for you than you are, yourself, and their aim is to force their beliefs on all others.
It's a form of mental illness, but it's extremely prevalent these days, unfortunately.
99% of the posters on FR could reasonably be considered a threat to the current systemic abuse of citizen's rights perpetuated by the Federal government.
That pretty much covers them I would think.
Yes; I get it. Up is Down, Black is White, Tea Party is Bad, OCCUPY ANYWHERE is Good, Union Thugs can beat you black and blue if you're a Conservative, and IT IS YOUR FAULT, Etc. - Mr. Teleprompter says one thing today, another tomorrow; and take your pick which thing you WANT to believe.
Scary? Possibly. Question is, if things start to look like a coup d'etat, who is going to step forward and put the proverbial bell on the cat?
So much for the First and Fourth Amendments; but, then, everyone knows the constitution is dead, anyway, and of little save historical interest.
One wonders if the Founding Fathers ever envisioned an American government which would simply ignore the constitution at its whim...?
They believe they are in a better position to know whats good for you than you are, yourself, and their aim is to force their beliefs on all others.
Man, you are right on. A perfect description of Nancy Pelosi and others. Mental defects all!
Yes they did. That's why they said the constitution/government would only work with moral, Godly men at the helm. So now we have a country filled with progressive/humanist, mentally defective and morally flawed people and a good portion make up our government.
This is what the future holds.
For the entire planet.
For centuries to come.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. - Winston Churchill
We are there.
seems to me the Revolution should commence before 0bama takes delivery of all the 2,500 Assault Vehicles, and gets his morons trained to operate them.
Yes they did.
Public Buses Across Country Quietly Adding Microphones to Record Passenger Conversations
Maybe when they take away private transportation I'll care? Just another brick in the wall.
If you have ever posted here, and don't think you are already on list somewhere, you are kidding yourself. F'em.
The Siege.
The Siege.
I am sure they are working hard on eliminating private transportation with the gas prices, police harassment and traffic tickets. And traffic tickets with points is a way to get you license pulled and take the option away.

Recommendation: Continue to compile vast amounts of useless data before deciding if he needs to be detained by the military.
I guess Hillary was wrong. Dissent is no longer patriotic.
Sounds like nobody has listened to this warning by Benjamin Franklin...
who is the greater terrorist? the one to be most feared?
one who blows his opposition up? or one that gathers info and turns the state's citizens on each other?
who is the more successful one? that remains to be seen... folk should have a pretty good idea where this is headed.
societal genocide , no, societal suicide awaits us all.
when radicalism and statism merge their databases, what do you get? The DNC or AQ mailing list perhaps?
we live in a brash neutered world.. courtesy of an electorate that can't spell much less read account balances but they can tweet and text. go figure.

We are already in the world of "1984" with ' double-talk ' and ' double speak ' , and headed towards the world of "Matrix " .
Great! What the government will discover about my e-mails, Facebook postings and Conservative website comments:
1) I don't like the democrat party.
2) When I go to the shooting range I get pissed because my wife is a better shot with our GLock than I am.
3) Obama-care will be a cross between the ruthlessness of the IRS and the customer efficiency of the DMV
4) The Georgetown Hoyas still suck.
5) Bone-daddies is better than Hooters.
6) Lloyd Dogget is a crook.
7) I like and support the Fair Tax group.
8) FA Hayek, Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell are my favorite writers
9) I read a website called stuff black people do not like and rather enjoy it.
10) I get in furious debates with my gay,left wing cousin regarding Dos Equis vs Shiner.
Bush's fault. Big time.
OK, so show me that "well regulated" part. I see virtually nothing in the way of citizen logistical preparation on an organized and practiced basis, particularly since the National Guard is nearly completely Federalized. The people can buy all the guns and ammo they want, but if they don't have a way to organize and supply said 'militia of the people,' they've got a losing battle, particularly against an enemy as ruthless as communo-fascists.
It's that Shemitta thingy nobody pays attention to.
Yes, but to what end? Methinks it was a bit more complicated than you perhaps realize.
They wrote an enduring document that gives us the tools.
Albeit with some serious flaws that threaten us with catastrophic import today.
They cannot make us use the tools.
Sounds eerily like Israel and the Torah, doesn't it?
KGB is alive and well. f' em.
To the end permitted by our actions and the state of technology.
"They cannot make us use the tools."
Sounds eerily like Israel and the Torah, doesn't it?
While I wanted to believe 'this time would be different', it appears mankind is doomed to repeat the same mistakes, cyclically, in perpetuity.
Forward......into George Orwell's world.

Every year the militias in the US run a live-fire training exercise where around 10 million snipers assemble in the woods with guns, ammo, comms, camo, and full logistic trains. Most folks call it "Deer season". Did you expect CW2 to be fought marching shoulder to shoulder across open fields against the Redcoats?
Equine feces. They wouldn't last a year.
Most folks call it Deer season. Did you expect CW2 to be fought marching shoulder to shoulder across open fields against the Redcoats?
No. They won't have communications. They won't have transportation. They won't have a command structure. Their logistical depth will suck, especially as regards food. While hunting incorporates valuable skills, the entire landscape is being converted before your eyes to be incapable of sustaining a resistance. Witness what wolves have done to the elk herd in Idaho and Montana. It's coming to your neighborhood sooner than you think and hunters have been stupid enough to help.
Did you expect a liberal idiot? I've written a whole book on this topic. I suggest you get a bit more serious.
With our most potent organizing technology being simultaneously ankle chains. Stalin was right about that rope.
While I wanted to believe 'this time would be different', it appears mankind is doomed to repeat the same mistakes, cyclically, in perpetuity.
LOL, if you read Genesis 1-2-4 very carefully, that is exactly what it implies. The key word is the Hebrew for "finishing" everything He had made. Check it out in a lexicon. It means to wipe out, as in "finishing" a glass of wine. The flood. The Sea of Suf. Two exiles. Revelation. Although what He had made was very good, not so with everything He created.
Sounds like nobody has listened to this warning by Benjamin Franklin...
That's pretty good, but IMHO, no match for...
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." and "it would end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall have become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other."
F'em indeed - in lead.
I am no longer a patriot to you. You have chosen to usurp the Constitution and become The Enemy. If a significant uprising develops, for instance, led by at least one branch of the military, I will join and try to overthrow you to reclaim America for Liberty, Until then I will continue to watch the decline and be defiant in any way that is legal. Got that ? Signed , Me

San Francisco 49ers Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The San Francisco 49ers has traditionally been one of the best franchises in NFL history. The franchise was established in 1946 and officially joined the NFL in 1950 when the league merged with the All-America Football Conference. A tradition of winning has described the 49ers for as long as they've been wearing pads. San Francisco is known for having one of the legendary dynasties in NFL history for its stretch of five Super Bowl wins in a span of 14 years between 1981 and 1994.
The emergence of the 49ers as a team to be reckoned with happened with the arrival of legendary head coach Bill Walsh and Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. With Walsh and Montana the 49ers were primed to consistently make deep playoff runs, and they did just that. During the 1981 season, the 49ers stormed through the regular season to the tune of a 13-3 record – which was the team's best record ever to that point – and made the playoffs as a top contender. It was during the NFC Championship game against their rival Dallas Cowboys that Montana and the 49ers provided fans with one of the most memorable plays in league history. With his team down 27-21, Montana got the ball with less than five minutes to go in the game and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Montana led an 89-yard drive that stalled on the Cowboys' six-yard line, but on a third down play Montana scrambled out of the pocket and found tight end Dwight Clark in the end zone for an epic reception that has gone down in NFL lore as simply "The Catch." After taking down the Cowboys, the 49ers faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI where they held on to win 26-21, giving the franchise its first title.
The franchise returned to glory during the 1984 season, when it experienced a tremendous 15-1 record and earned the top seed in the playoffs. The 49ers rolled through the playoffs en route to a Super Bowl XIX appearance against the Miami Dolphins. The team shut down MVP Dan Marino and demolished the Dolphins 38-16, giving the franchise its second Super Bowl title ever. After the season, the best team in the league got even better when the 49ers drafted future Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. With Rice, Montana and Walsh at the helm of the team, the 49ers made an epic run at back-to-back Super Bowl titles from 1989-1989. In 1988, San Francisco again defeated the Bengals on the biggest stage of all, Super Bowl XXIII. After successfully winning three Super Bowls, Bill Walsh retired as head coach, but handpicked his successor to lead the team to the promise land again. Walsh pegged his former defensive coordinator George Seifert as the next 49ers coach. Seifert picked up where Walsh left off and led the team to a lopsided 55-10 Super Bowl XXIV win over the Denver Broncos.
In 1994, the San Francisco 49ers became the first team in NFL history to win five Super Bowl's with a dominant 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. This victory, though, was led by Steve Young, who patiently waited for his turn to emerge as a star quarterback behind Hall of Famer Joe Montana.
The San Francisco 49ers served as the NFL's first dominant franchise, becoming the first team to win five Super Bowl titles. It's easy to see why the 49ers have built a national fan base and their memorabilia is collected worldwide. The 49ers have been on top of the NFL world like few other teams have ever been able to duplicate. With a future Hall of Famer in Frank Gore and impact players like Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers provide collectors with a number of options as to where to turn to add depth and uniqueness to a memorabilia collection.
- Joe Montana Autographed Footballs: Joe Montana was the football's ultimate winner. He won a National Title in college and led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories during his illustrious professional career. Montana has one of the best track records when it came to big games like the Super Bowl. In his four championship appearances, Montana threw 11 touchdowns with zero interceptions. Since his retirement in the mid-90s, fans and collectors have scrambled to find ways to preserve his NFL memory. The addition of an autographed Joe Montana football will do wonders for any memorabilia collection seeking to add some historical context. In addition to Montana's signature, many Joe Montana signed footballs also feature inscriptions denoting his statistics and highlights of the Hall of Famer's career.
- Jerry Rice Signed Helmets: Jerry Rice is the greatest wide receiver to ever play the game, there's no argument that can say otherwise. He is the all-time leader in almost every significant statistical category for wide receivers – Rice leads in career receptions, touchdown receptions and yards. No NFL memorabilia collection is complete without paying homage to the best receiver the NFL has ever seen. Fans and collectors can take advantage of our wide selection of signed Jerry Rice helmets by adding a truly unique piece of sports history to their collection. From throwback 49ers designed to current San Francisco helmets, each items is hand-signed by the Hall of Famer and guaranteed to provide your collection with a boost of historical context.
- Steve Young Autographed Photos: Steve Young was one of the most efficient and effective quarterbacks in NFL history. Young gained fame by stepping out of the shadow of legend Joe Montana and leading the 49ers to the same success Montana did earlier in his career. When Young retired from football in 1999, he has the highest passer rating in NFL – a feat that etched his name as one of the greatest passers of his generation. Fans and collectors everywhere strive to this day to find ways to preserve the legacy Young left behind, and while shopping through our collectibles you will find the perfect way to do so with a signed Steve Young photo. With a photo that shows a continually victorious Young while wearing his red 49ers jersey captures some of the greatest moments in league history. Considering that the former Niners quarterback holds such an iconic place in NFL history, photos with a Steve Young autograph make a great investment as they are sure to rise in value over the years.
- Colin Kaepernick Signed Mini Helmets: Colin Kaepernick is the latest All-Pro quarterback to wear the San Francisco 49ers uniform. He took over the 49ers in the middle of the 2012 season and hit the ground running, leading the team to a second-consecutive playoff appearance. Kaepernick led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1994, but the team ultimately fell to the Baltimore Ravens 28-24. Kaepernick has established himself as a dynamic quarterback that can beat opponents with his arm and legs – he set a postseason quarterback record by rushing for 181 yards in his first playoff game. With an autographed Colin Kaepernick mini helmet, fans and collectors can invest in the future of the dynamic Niners talent as he works to bring San Francisco their sixth Super Bowl championship.
- Frank Gore Autographed Jerseys: The San Francisco 49ers drafted Frank Gore out of the University of Miami in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft. Gore paid the team back by becoming one of the elite rushers in the game today. He's made five Pro Bowl appearances and is the all-time leader in most 49er rushing categories. Gore has been a staple in the fierce 49ers offense, and along with Colin Kaepernick they make one of the most feared rushing attacks in the entire league. Fans and collectors can commemorate the outstanding career Gore has had by adding asigned Frank Gore jersey to their NFL memorabilia collection. A red or white 49ers jersey is a timeless piece and are made by the NFL sponsored, Nike. A signed Frank Gore jersey can serve as an ideal display and is a safe investment now because Gore's statistics will surely land him in the Hall of Fame one day.

Hi! Internship has been keeping me busy. So has getting together my presentation for this year's VBAC summit. I had an hour and fifteen minutes to talk. I went over, and I still didn't cover half of what I wanted to say.
The First Cut is the Deepest. (I can't figure out how to embed the viewer.)

Kentucky is a great place to warm up in the cold of winter...! They call it Bourbons of the Bluegrass...this is a fun, interesting "thing to do" even if you are not a fan of the drink!
http://www.visitlex.com/The bluegrass area of Kentucky is known for its bourbon distilleries. Actually, 95 percent of the world's supply of bourbon comes from Kentucky, but why? The four seasons of the state make it perfect for the process of making bourbon. The cold winter air forces the barrels to constrict pushing the bourbon that seeped into the wood over the summer back into the belly of the barrel. As it is pushed out of the wood, it brings with it wonderful flavors and that amber color bourbon is known for.According to the native Kentuckians...they don't claim that the Bourbon was invented in the bluegrass region, however they do claim the first registered distillery was in central Kentucky. That would be the Ashland Distillery that was later known as "Old Tarr". It was built in the mid 1800's and today is the home to Buster's, a popular venue for live music concerts.Initiatives are underway to develop a distillery district in which the historic buildings would be used for shopping, restaurants, housing and entertainment venues. Located in the heart of the proposed Distillery District, visitors will find Barrel House Distilling Company. Here crafters are making small batch Bourbon, that won't be ready for consumption until 2014.In Kentucky they call it "America's Official native Spirit" and traveling the Kentucky Bourbon Trail includes not only the spirit of the drink, but the spirit of the area, bluegrass, beautiful scenery, friendly people and, of course horses.Within 25 miles of Lexington there are four other distilleries. A great way to learn about the process that goes into every bottle of the bourbon is on a tour of one of the five working distilleries, like that of Buffalo Trace. The tour takes you through the process of making the warming spirits, gives you a taste of the amber bourbon and even a taste of their famed bourbon ball candy.These distilleries have been crafting the finest bourbons for over 200 years, with secret recipes and generations of methods.The Bourbon Trail was formed in 1999 to give visitors a first hand look at the science and the art of crafting the Bourbon. Also, with a purpose, to educate about the rich history and proud traditions of the spirit. Millions of visitors from all 50 states and 25 countries have traveled the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.As they say in Kentucky...it is where the spirit leads you.

Exactly. You can't sit around all your life waiting for a no miss elite QB prospect to come out of the draft when you have to build a football team. There are at most only a handful of elite QBs in the league at any one time, it's inherent with the label. However there are still elite QBs that don't win a ring every year.
At some point you need to build the football team, and even if you don't have an elite QB it is still the most important position on the field, so you need to upgrade it if/when it's possible. Then you roll your TEAM out there and take your chances. Like the chicken and the egg, which came first the ring or the elite label.
I think there are 2 schools of thought coming into the 2012 Draft:
1. Pass on Weeden, go with Colt, keep sucking until you're in position to finally draft an elite QB.
2. Upgrade the position with Weeden even if he's not elite.
(There's probably also a third school of thought that says that Colt was good enough to be a starter, but that school of thought is Kindergarten at best, so I will ignore it.)
I think with any other position on the team, the guy you take at #22 doesn't have to be "elite" as long as he's an upgrade at a position of need (and QB was a need). A lot of people would've been fine drafting Kendall Wright knowing full well that he would likely never be an "elite" WR, just a good player.
But since there is the perception/reality that you need an "elite" QB to win a championship, then some people feel you're better off tanking until you can get one. And I don't know that they're wrong. (Although, how much would it suck to tank this season just to get your pick between Matt Barkley and Geno Smith? Yuck.)
Now, if you want your team to improve even though there's no "elite" QB available then there's no reason to oppose the Weeden pick since it was a clear upgrade at a position of need (and a very important position to boot). The danger with this approach, though, is reflected in the Houstons and Baltimores of the league.
I think what has some people frustrated is the damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't nature of this draft after Holmgren missed on trading up for RG3.

Court rejects genetically modified sugar beets
SAN FRANCISCO -- The government illegally approved a genetically modified, herbicide-resistant strain of sugar beets without adequately considering the chance they will contaminate other beet crops, a federal judge in San Francisco has ruled.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White rejected the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision in 2005 to allow Monsanto Co. to sell the sugar beets, known as "Roundup-Ready" because they are engineered to coexist with Monsanto's Roundup herbicide.
Sugar beets produce 30 percent of the world's sugar and, according to consumer groups, half the granulated sugar in the United States. This year's planting, centered in Oregon's Willamette Valley, is the first to include a full crop of the Monsanto product.
White said the USDA, in concluding that the new crop would have no significant environmental effects, discounted the likelihood that wind-borne pollen would spread to fields where conventional sugar beets, table beets and the beet variety known as Swiss chard are grown.
Planting genetically modified sugar beets has a "significant effect" on the environment, White said in his ruling Monday, because of "the potential elimination of a farmer's choice to grow non-genetically engineered crops, or a consumer's choice to eat non-genetically engineered food."
He said the department must prepare an environmental impact statement, which would include public input.
White did not immediately prohibit distribution of the genetically modified sugar beets, but a lawyer for plaintiffs in the case said they would ask the judge for an injunction against sales until the review was completed.
The ruling "sends a very clear message to the USDA to protect American farmers and consumers and not the interests of Monsanto," said Kevin Golden, a San Francisco attorney for the nonprofit Center for Food Safety, which opposes genetically modified foods and supports organic farming.
Golden said the ruling could also affect herbicide use, because the Environmental Protection Agency has allowed more herbicide spraying in areas where the resistant crops are grown.
Representatives of the Agriculture Department and Monsanto were unavailable for comment. Luther Markwart, spokesman for the 10,000-member American Sugar Beet Growers Association, said the group is "looking forward to aggressively advocating" for farmers who want to use the altered beets.
The ruling followed a similar decision in 2007 by another federal judge in San Francisco, Charles Breyer, to halt the nationwide planting of Monsanto's genetically engineered strain of alfalfa until the USDA conducted an environmental study. A federal appeals court upheld Breyer's decision last year.
The department's 2005 decision on sugar beets acknowledged that pollen from the genetically modified crop could spread to other beet crops. But the USDA said farmers would not be harmed because they would still be able to buy non-genetically modified seeds.

The term "gerrymandering," if you don't know, refers to the drawing of boundaries in a legislative district to favor one party or group over others. For example, the boundaries of a congressional district can be drawn in some cases to ensure that there are more Republicans than Democrats (or vice versa) living there.
The practice is� known as� gerrymandering because Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry signed a bill in 1812 that included a remapped district that looked like a salamander (as in the political cartoon above).
When gerrymandering is done on a grand scale � statewide, for instance � it can ...

Marlin Stutzman on Technology
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill will cripple National Public Radio, public radio stations, and programming that is vital to over 27 million Americans. We are now voting to deny the public access to one of our Nation's most credible sources of news coverage. This bill does not save a penny. This legislation does not serve any fiscal purpose, but it does serve an ugly ideological one. This legislation is not about reforming NPR. It is about punishing NPR. It is vindictive, it is mean-spirited, it is going to hit the smallest stations in rural areas particularly hard. Public radio is indispensable for access to news that's hard to get, especially where broadband service is limited.
Congressional Summary:Prohibits the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from proposing, promulgating, or issuing any regulations with regard to the Internet or IP-enabled services. Makes such prohibition non-applicable to regulations that are determined necessary to:
Congressional Findings:
OnTheIssues Explanation: This bill opposes "net neutrality," the principle that all users should have equal access to the Internet. By disallowing FCC regulation, commercial carriers could create "tiered service" (which is the opposite of "net neutrality"). Tiered Internet service would allow, for example, faster access for companies who paid more (such as for ads).
