Skip to comments."Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild" (by Michelle Malkin, this coming Monday Oct. 24th)
Posted on 10/20/2005 12:58:07 PM PDT by ajolympian2004
This coming Monday October 24th is the official release date for Michelle Malkin's new book, "Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild".
At Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0895260301/
From the Inside Flap
adj : affected with madness or insanity; [syn: brainsick, crazy, demented, distracted, disturbed, mad, sick, unbalanced]
- The American Heritage Dictionary
*** Warning: Unhinged liberals are hazardous to the nations health.
Theyre slashing your tires. Burning your lawns. Heaving pies at Republican pundits. Hurling racist epithets at minority conservatives. Nursing nutty conspiracy theories. And pining publicly for the murder of President Bush.
And they call us crazy?
In Unhinged: Liberals Gone Wild, Michelle Malkin plays conservative Margaret Mead to the alien political creatures of the American Left. With uproarious detail and rollicking reportage, Malkin chronicles the bizarre world of leftists gone mad in their natural habitats: the mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, and Washington.
Unhinged unmasks liberals whove completely abandoned rationality and reality. Theyre taking chainsaws and bayonets to campaign signs. Running down political opponents with their cars. Setting fire to political opponents in effigy. Defacing war memorials. Swiping yellow ribbons off cars. And supporting the fragging of American troops.
In Unhinged, youll meet:
- The Top 10 Unhinged Leftists, Celebrities, Media Liberals, and Politicians. - The Pennsylvania Democrat who repeatedly screamed "faggot" at his Republican opponents on the Senate floor. - The Florida Democrat who tried to run down former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris with his Cadillac. - The Democrat congressman who claimed the capture of Saddam Hussein was staged by GOP operatives to help the Bush re-election campaign. - The veteran newsman who claimed that Bush advisor Karl Rove and Osama bin Laden are working hand-in-hand to help the Republican Party. - And hundreds more unhinged liberals gone wild!
With wit, wisdom, and a bullet-proof vest, Michelle Malkin ruthlessly and raucously skewers the myths of liberal tolerance, peace, and civility. Unhinged shows how conservatives are driving their opponents mad. The good news for liberals? Self-help starts here.
About the Author Michelle Malkin is a New York Times best-selling author, nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, and FOX News Channel contributor.Malkin lives with her husband and children in Maryland.
She has never cried over an election, marched naked in Berkeley, thrown a pie, or tackled a liberal heckler. Yet.
This sounds good.
Definately a must read. Can't wait! Michele Malkin for President!
"She has never cried over an election, marched naked in Berkeley, thrown a pie, or tackled a liberal heckler. Yet."
Does Berkeley have stop light cameras?
Excellent! Looks like a must-read. Glad to see that Michelle is having fun.
Great post, about sums it up.
That cover is hilarious.
An old saying goes...
A young may who is not a Liberal has no heart
An old may who is not a Conservative has no brain
Mark Twain?
Bump for unhinged wacko blame America leftist democRATs of Moveon.org...
Winston Churchill actually...
Benjamin Franklin!
LOL! Love that saying? I don't know who it comes from ... Twain had a lot of cynical things to say...
Sounds like Churchill.
Thanks for the heads up, ajolympian2004.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Thanks for the ping!
Wonderful post, takes the old standby 'if you are not liberal when you are young, you are missing a heart; and if you are not conservative when fully grown, you are missing a mind' and details it, beautifully.
Pictures here from Michelle's visit to Berkeley last year:
Did a conservative just goose that jackass. Looks like it by the look on his face. LOL
Thanks for the heads up.
Just put it on my must buy list.
Yes, I'm sure it was Churchill. "If you were not a liberal when you were young, I would think you had no heart. If you did not grow conservative as you grew older, I would think you had no brain." I think that's how it went.
He also said this:
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Oh, please. What a foolish post..
Although often attributed to Churchill it was not something he said. http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=112
Don't know who said it though.
Nope, see post 34.
Re-read my post, and go to the link. Churchill's actual quote does differ from what's usually attributed to him, but the quote I posted he did make.
That quote is from winston Churchill and he paraphrased it a number of ways. Here is one of the originals:
"When you're 20, you're a liberal with a heart, but when you're forty you're a conservative with a brain."
More Churchill quotes can be found on this thread:
I wonder how many future David Horowitz's, Jay Severin's and Hitchens' are in that crowd.
I wonder how many future David Horowitz's, Jay Severin's and Hitchens' are in that crowd.
But should she ever do so, I think we'd be obliged to salute.
I'm sure quite a few. After college students graduate and start paying their own way after becoming employed the first thing that starts the transition away from their learned liberal idealism are the 'Federal, 'State' and 'FICA' columns on their pay check stubs.
Then when they have their first child social issues start to matter like realizing that abortion actually does cause the murder of an unborn baby.

text: It's pronounced boo-semi, not boo-shemi. OK, got that out of the way as the first order of business when sitting down last week with Steve Buscemi, one of the busiest character actors of the past two decades. He was the short-tempered criminal whose fate was sealed in a wood chipper in "Fargo," the drunk best man in "The Wedding Singer," the guy who didn't believe in tipping in "Reservoir Dogs," the hapless Donny in "The Big Lebowski." Buscemi has also directed feature films ("Trees Lounge," "Interview") and TV shows ("30 Rock," "Nurse Jackie," "The Sopranos" – on which he also played Tony Blendetto), and he recently began filming his fourth season as Nucky Thompson on "Boardwalk Empire." We spoke about his role in the new comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Buscemi plays Steve Carell's long-suffering magician partner Anton Marvelton.Have you done any magic before this film?Just as a kid, and I like doing card tricks for my nephews. I'm pretty good. Well, good enough for an 8-year-old.There's an amazing illusion in the film called the Hangman that was done with no edits. How challenging was that?I didn't know we were gonna do that in one shot. It was the director's idea to have at least one illusion in the film that is continuous without a camera cut. That took a lot of takes. It was a little daunting, but fun.You and Carell wear long wigs and glitzy costumes. Does that help or hinder a performance?I don't see how it can hinder it in any way (laughs). It can only enhance your performance. It absolutely makes it easier to be that guy, because you have to live up to the wardrobe and the hair. So it sort of forces you to be more extroverted or hammy.You have a singular look, not one of a typical Hollywood actor. Has it gotten you parts, lost you parts?No one's ever said to me you didn't get this part because of the way you looked, or I'm casting you because you look like this. And most actors that you see in films, in the supporting cast, are meant to look like people that are not the leads (laughs).Was there a point where you started to relax, where you felt comfortable that you had made it as an actor?No, not comfortable, but just feeling that more doors were opened or more opportunities were presented, where I could show what I could do. I think "Reservoir Dogs" really helped. Maybe even just the credit sequence that Quentin did, where you could put a name to a face, was really important.You played Mr. Pink. Did you know that Quentin he wrote that part for himself?Yeah, I knew that.Any idea how you got it?Back when I was auditioning for everything, even if it wasn't something I thought I'd be right for, I did an audition tape for a Neil Simon film. It was a fun audition [he didn't get the part], and I forgot about it. A year later I auditioned for "Reservoir Dogs," and Quentin told me later on that he had seen that tape, and that he thought I looked like a criminal. So seeing that tape was one of the reasons why he cast me.How did Nucky Thompson come into your life?Because of working with [creator-producer-writer] Terence Winter on "The Sopranos." And I was lucky that I had worked with Martin Scorsese on "New York Stories." I don't know why they thought of me for Nucky, but I'm so grateful that they did. It's one of the best jobs I've ever gotten.You're so busy with films, did you have to think twice about committing to another TV show?I think, boy, would I have to be stupid not to take that part (laughs)!Ed Symkus covers movies for GateHouse Media. He has been writing about actors and filmmakers since 1987. His favorite interview was with Elliott Gould. His worst interview was with Tommy Lee Jones.

For individuals and most businesses, buying offsets is a voluntary choice made for do-good and feel-right reasons.In Oregon, for instance, the Earth Advantage Institute, a nonprofit promoting green building methods, wants developers to spend $7,500 per house on a package of energy upgrades, such as putting in a better, more expensive grade of insulated window. The plan, says executive director Sean Penrith, is to reduce annual emissions by about a third, roughly two tons per house. Developers wouldn't normally be interested, since the investment might not translate directly into a higher sales price. But Penrith's plan is to sell a 15-year package of reductions into the offset market at perhaps $1,000 per house. By combining offset income with Oregon's existing incentives for high-performance houses, the developer could come out $6,500 ahead on the deal. "I can take Joe Blow Builder. He can't even spell 'green,'" says Penrith. "But if I can present a value proposition on why he should move to an upgraded HVAC system, he's going to get it."
There are, of course, grounds to quibble about whether any offset adds up to a genuine reduction in emissions.And how do you avoid double-counting?) The unregulated nature of the offset market in this country has also produced opportunities for misrepresentation and even fraud over the past few years. In one case, farmers were selling offsets based on no-till practices they had undertaken years before. So the offsets didn't do anything new; they just rewarded existing good behavior. In another offset deal, it turned out that the methane-destruction project was required by law.
The other requirement for making offsets honest hasn't gotten as much attention so far, because it involves a change in the behavior of buyers.Otherwise, the critics are right, and buying offsets is like buying indulgences, so we can continue to sin in peace. Or even sin a little more. Having a cap means knowing your carbon footprint for a baseline year — 2008 will do — and having a plan to shrink it by a set amount each year. (Web sites like carbonfootprint.com can help with the calculations.) If you accept the premise that the U.S. must reduce its carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050, that means eliminating about 2 percent of your baseline footprint annually, hardly a radical goal. You could achieve the entire reduction in a single year by stunt eco-living (like the family whose list of banned products included toilet paper), or alternatively, by dropping dead. But a more practical approach is to hit or exceed your targets each year, then use offsets for the balance of emissions that you cannot immediately avoid.

Hi Everyone,
I've been on these forums for about a couple of weeks now, and have found them absolutely fantastic. I received some especially good advice from TingJunkie, so thanks for that!
I've been drinking tea for quite a few years now. I started off with green tea, mostly Lung Ching, which remains a favourite. I've also been drinking different Oolongs over the last couple of years, and some Japanese Sencha. More recently I've started drinking Puers, which are very very nice. I mostly like chinese tea, which has seen me buy my first yixing teapot (I have 2 Yixings which I bought a year ago that appear to be fakes, i'll post pictures for verification).
I'm hoping to have some good chats about tea and teaware and further my knowledge on chinese tea and teaware!
Hope to see you all around.

The 7.9 magnitude earthquake centered in southwestern China killed and injured thousands, and left hundreds of thousands homeless throughout the region. Among those stranded in the temblor's wake were hundreds of Americans living in and visiting the area. The American Embassy in Beijing and the American Consulate General in Chengdu (50 miles from the epicenter) sprang into action immediately to protect and aid American citizens caught in the earthquake's destruction, and reassure worried family members in the U.S. that their loved ones were safe.
As news of the temblor spread back to the United States, the Department, the Embassy and Consulate General Chengdu fielded phone calls from friends and family of travelers known to be in China. Posts, with help from the Department, reviewed the records of Americans who had registered their trips to the region. With this valuable information about who they were looking for, our officers in China set out to bring our citizens to safety.
Our rescue teams traveled far into affected areas, but dangerous travel conditions kept them from reaching the epicenter. Despite the dangers, and loss of power and communications throughout the area, the teams located all known Americans in the region, all safe and sound except for one who reported a minor injury. In the effort to find one of the last missing Americans, who was stranded in mountains near the epicenter, consular staff worked tirelessly with Chinese authorities. They were unable even to contact him until the American called consulate authorities on a satellite phone that the Chinese government included in relief supplies that they airlifted to the isolated region. By phone, the American assured our consular team that he was all right and could safely remain until helicopters could evacuate him.
Along the way the consular teams helped Chinese refugees whom they encountered, sowing goodwill through humanitarian assistance at a grassroots level. During a rest break near Mianyang, the team came across Chinese refugees whose farming village had been destroyed. To tide them over until relief supplies reached them, team members left the villagers cases of water and gave them money from their pockets.

Eric in New Mexico writes:
In my blogging experience, I've often been witness to outrageous statement posted simply to illicit a desired response, or foster argument instead of expressing the empathy required of fellow forum members in matters as grave as the topic at hand on this thread.
If anything can singled out as a primary cause of the dysfunctionality in both relations among nations as well among peoples, it is sustained as manifest by the lack of empathy among individuals.
At the leadership level of nations, we can see the results of a lack of empathy of the individuals who rule Burma. China is fortunate to have a hefty response capability along with leadership who understands the moral necessity to act in the people's interest without delay.
Even so, they've gladly accepted the international help from those of good will. This actually marks a milestone along China's path to intergration with the family of nations as "responsible stakeholder" in humanity's global well being. Being that some human issues rise above the mere political.
I noted Dr. Harding's testimony in context with the overall aproach of the concept, and I think he makes a valid point that were China to be given the opportunity to help folks make the rules, they'd be less inclined to break them.
As for humanitarian aid and crisis management, it's what super powers do best. Keep up the good work folks.
Bob in Virginia writes:
Sure things may be difficult in the U.S. but they still are not as bad as what we've seen in China recently. I don't think this is a story about the U.S. vs China anyway. It's a story about people helping people.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
It would be nice to give good face in effort, but:
1. China is not a competitor of the U.S. or anyone to begin with. A competitor plays by the same rules and guidelines, China does not.
2. They have openly spied on the U.S. and Great Briton.
3. The only asked for Japans help AFTER Japan announced on May 21, 2008 that their Parliament passed a bill to use Space as a military platform.
4. They have a closed fiscal system which has put more Americans without work, increased Japans suicide rate, helped create a rift with South Korea due to work lost that America gave to China...
5. They never wanted anyone's help and have a one party system which is geared only toward productivity of State with nominal recognition of individual freedoms and using the same ploy as Russia with free enterprise for the few.
6. They are Godless in any form of Faith. Lest we forget. Is this the world domination we all want?
7. Due to the progress of the one party system, their people, including the youth are 100% behind their government as a whole. Recent reviews of their blogging shows the relevancy of this fact and as in Russia. The people have been lead throughout their history.
8...They can take care of themselves. Why does the Golden Rule not apply to China? We are not going to change anything by going there, only show our weakness, not strength. Their culture will view it as us bowing to their needs, not as charity.
Forget about it..Unless unless we can plant some intelligence seeds. The poor foget from meal to meal who feeds them, but they never forget who rules them.
Katie in Canada writes:
@ Joe in Tennesse -- Joe:
Honestly, we have only ourselves to blame for the fact that Americans are living in their cars and for the mortgage crisis. Americans are lousy at saving--we blow our money on big tvs, big cars, and big homes.
Our fiscal irresponsibility has nothing to do with Chinese quake victims, though. When people--human beings experiencing grief and loss--are in desperate need, then we must throw out the us vs them mentality. We are all part of the human race and must treat our brothers and sisters with kindness.
Sitting at home in TN, it's easy for you to be callous. But, would you really turn your back on such suffering if you passed the quake victims on the road?
Hooray U.S. diplomats serving in China for showing such great compassion!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Katie in Canada -- Hooray for Canada! What she said.
U.S.-n-Them be laid to rest, lest we all be , eh?
But Katie, I have to tell you that from a sociological perspective, all those "toys" you mentioned we blow our money on are just part of our ritual materialistic courtship and mating rituals. C'mon now, give us a break!
And I'm sure status symbols of one's hard work exist in all culture's economic reality.
Now you may not be familiar with my neck of the woods, (neither did the Canadian border patrol who wanted to see my green card when I visited once...LOL!)
But it's slap inbetween John McCain's Arizona, and George Bush's Texas.
Our brand of "compassionate conservatism" is best defined in a philosophy of free speech manifest when one is bound and determined to hang themselves with their own words, we New Mexican's generally feel obliged to hand them the rope.
I'm scatching my head right now trying to recall anyone in history who has -- in 20 words or less -- managed to ever publicly personly deliver grave insult to over a billion individuals simultaneously.
Joe from Tennessee wrote:
"6. They are Godless in any form of Faith. Lest we forget. Is this the world domination we all want?"
As an American Buddhist, one intolerant of intolerance, and bigotry in all its forms, I strongly object to Joe from Tennessee. Not sure if that's moonshine talking, or whether Joe's speaking as a member of the David Duke fan club. What a piece of work.
So to those it concerns and to our friends from China blogging here, I say Americans have not forgotten that Chinese labour helped build our nation, and so it may only be fitting that we help China recover and rebuild.
Spy vs. Spy till we all die? I don't think so....
Ronald in New York writes:
U.S.A. and China...
Natural disasters cut through political and ideologic barriers ...sure we should help China ...and Myanmar ...and Darfur ...and on and on ...after all we are all on the same planet and in the same human condition ...if we can't respond as humans ...fuggetaboutit!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Ron, I think humanity is still trying to define itself as human, and how this is to best become manifest, since we tend to create our own reality on this planet.
I'm afraid that what may be considered a "human response" is often expressed in terms of "forgetaboutit" like it doesn't concern us. Like it's someone else's problem perhaps. That is the false comfort of deniability.
"Today there is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence. I feel that we've got to look at this total thing anew and recognize that we must live together. That the whole world now it is one--not only geographically but it has to become one in terms of brotherly concern. Whether we live in America or Asia or Africa we are all tied in a single garment of destiny and whatever effects one directly, effects one in-directly."

The Footytube Modcast: Episode 1 (Bundesliga)
(Footytube Mod)
3 years ago
Here is our first modcast for the top 3 teams of the bundesliga this season:

the other mid-table teams will be released later but we cover Bayern Munich (Pep Guardiola, Transfers, and performance of the season), Borussia Dortmund (Nuri Sahin, Season so far, Champions league chances) and Bayer Leverkusen (Sami Hyppia and Sacha Lewandowski effect along with the season so far). We also give our takes on the underrated and overrated players at these teams and the worst and best players as well.
Note to Bundesliga followers this was done before this weeks games so if you confused about the table points and what not.

I thought the podcast was pretty good. Felt that you guys went through the topics nicely. Spent enough time to make your point but not enough to bore me with anything. Enjoyed the topics which you covered. I liked the mix of facts when making your points. The Robben one made me giggle a little. I won't ruin it for the rest of you though. I also like the tactical parts. I haven't really watched Bayer Leverkusen but the talk of the tactics and how well Carvajal works well with Schurrle is something which I probably would look out for if I were to watch Bayer.
I think one part which you failed to mention is about Bayerns midfield. You gave the other two teams a mention but didn't talk about the midfield. Would think that they would be worth a mention as they have been equally as good as the attack and defensive units from Bayern.
The biggest improvement though.... Has to be Cloudst and his cat like volume, although Magneto has told me that equipment upgrades are already on the way so you're excused this time

Damnit I knew we missed something T_T thanks for the feedback barcashow

I guess with the amount of domination the attack and defence were upto, we couldn't really catch up with players like Ribery, Schewinsteiger, Neuer and Kroos. I guess it was a bit of an oversight to skip them completely. Lol. Cheers for the feedback bud

First, I just want to say you all did a great job. I liked how the case for each player was presented, it was concise. You went through all three clubs and gave reasons for why the player you chose was a standout or a disappoint and there was enough information provided to make your point, while not making it long-winded.
I was also thinking " they are not playing with the stats. " Anyway, I love to hear things like that and I'm sure others do too, so it was appreciated that you put in the research because it gives us a better understanding of the overall impact a player has on a team.
In the future, if one person is leading the discussion it would be better if you don't ask them for their opinion with each topic. Just say their names and let them proceed, it flows better that way and I think it might be better for you guys, so you can disagree with each other and we can have fun listening to it.
Or you don't even need to be so formal. Open the topic and you guys talk for a few minutes and then move on. If I'm talking to a friend and he says something like Gotze is Dortmund's best player at the moment and I disagree with him we are going to go back and forth with points to prove the case. Although I know this is your first time and you guys will ease into it more later on, that would be the only thing I would change

Thanks for the feedback Ltm
I'm glad you liked the format and stats. We spent quite some time on it, so as to try and ensure we don't end up talking too little or talking too much about something.
So you want the guys around the mic disagreeing with each other to satiate the little devil sitting atop your shoulder with a rusty crowbar, eh? Lol. Jokes aside.... I also do agree that there needs to be a bit of tweaking with regards to the flow of conversation, and we will be looking into slight changes to that. This was our first recording, so hopefully, we're going to be able to show we're improving over time

Good job guys, fun to listen to if you're a Bundesliga fan. One thing you need to sort out though, is the volume differences, but you know that I guess
There are a few things I don't agree with you though. You considered Santana and Grosskreutz as Dortmund's most underrated players, while I think Santana has been making a few too many errors when he was playing, and Kevin isn't really underrated, though perhaps he is in England where people generally only know the stars. He also features less this season because Reus is simply better. I believe Cloudst also said Weidenfeller hasn't been good enough this season and cost us too many points, which I also disagree with. He's been fantastic in Europe for us, and has been solid in almost every game in Germany this season. In fact, I think he's been better than in the two previous seasons.
My most underrated player of the season would be Lukasz Piszczek or Kuba. I doubted both of them were good enough for us two years ago, last season Piszcek took away all my doubts and this season Kuba did. It's amazing how great Kuba has become considering his age. He wasn't a very clinical player, nor a great crosses or passer of the ball, but this season he's been just phenomenal. Piszcek is quite simply a world class RB and his style is exactly what I like to see in a full-back. He's fast, works hard, and the two things I thought he didn't have; good positioning/decision making and the skill to go forward with success, are features he has amply. So that's why I think both of our Polish wingmen are two key figures who are still underrated. But after we win the Champions League, we won't have any underrated players any more

I don't think Piszcek is underrated neither is Kuba (both are starters and get massive recognition from the people i've talked to) but its down opinion in the end and thank you for your feedback
On weindenfeller, imho he hasn't been as great as he was in previous seasons, yes he has looked stellar in the champions league but in Germany? Quite debatable that one J, don't you think if Dortmund would have had Rene Adler or even Bernd Leno the goals like in the Nurnberg game early in the season could have been prevented? Just a thought from my personal perspective that i've seen this year, I think Langarek has potential as well but he needs to organize the defence better imo
3 years ago
Well in previous years there were at least 5 or 6 games a season where I thought Dortmund lost points because of his mistakes or inability to deal with high balls. This season though, I think Weidenfeller was only bad in two games, which I distinctly remember. They were the games against HSV and Frankfurt of late September. So those 2 games in those 4 days were bad games for him, but in pretty much every other game his level varied between good and fantastic I think. Which is better than what I'm used to from him.
And the reason I think Piszczek and Kuba are underrated is not because the people who know them (well) do not rate them, because it's clear they are great when you see them. But it is because guys like Götze and Lewandowski are the talk of the town (town being the world here) all the time, while those two are players almost no one that does not follow the Bundesliga knows. Just watch this to see what I mean:

Its good to have different opinions. If you were to mention to me that Kuba is underrated, I'd be a little surprised, because I'd say he's extremely well known for what he brings to the team. He even takes penalties quite often, and is a calm and collected player. It is also a reason that the board were confident to let Perisic leave. The same with Piszczek, as he's been a stable RB for the club, and is in no threat about being displaced from his role. But then, the same argument can be made of me mentioning Dante as underrated. Its just a way where we all have different players we feel needs to get more credit, just like how we all have different favourite players. Always good to disagree, as it brings in a different perspective
Weindenfeller, I brought the same points up as Cloudst about him being a little overrated, and mainly underperforming. Staying in behind Dortmund's back 4 is something of a luxury most keepers would love to have, but he's been poor in a few corners in my opinion as well. He's got 68% distribution, which for a team that revels in keeping possession and attacking from the back like Dortmund, isn't all that great. He really does need to step it up, if Dortmund are to push for an even better run in the champions league in the knockout stages. Its not to say he's a bad keeper in the slightest, but it is a little difficult to pick players who're poor in a squad like Dortmund. So every little mistake comes to the fore, and we've got to be extra critical.
Cheers for the discussion though
The more, the better!

Bugger watching Bundesliga highlights, if you want to see the ability of Piszczek and Kuba, check out the damage they did for Poland in the Euros, they were devastating on the right wing
(Borussia Dortmund)

Hi, very interesting to listen to. However, as a die hard dortmund fan some feedback from my part:
Weidenfeller has never been better than now, his deflections have been amazing and this constantly throughout the season my eyes get sparky when I think of his performances in the Etihad or the Allianz Arena last year, the one thing that has been missing was the solid defending and the unfortunate decision making by some of the refs *cough* wolfsburg *cough*.
And I think your biggest error was comparing Dortmund to THIS Bayern München who are as of now almost unbeatable. Ok, at this point last season we had a slightly better record, but Bayern had also 10 points less than now. Good last season up to this point 45:15 and now 46:24 which is oddly enough the difference Großkreutz made on the pitch (I posted a record with him and without him this season, where his defending work speak numbers, and oh boy, what a difference). Having now Reus offers a lot more attacking options but it leaves space to take over on Schmelles position.
Don't get me wrong, Reus is outstandingly good, I can't see enough of him, but the way Großkreutz helps in the back is not to be overlooked and he is IMO the most underrated player we have, alongside Weidenfeller (who definately has earned the chance to wear the german jersey)
And I have to disagree on lewa, he is not as good as last season even though he is scoring and assisting, last season he ran like crazy and had many defensive actions now I miss from him, but he is still outstanding.
Best player this season for me: Hummels.
(Borussia Dortmund)

Lol thanks for the shoutout, as you see, I was making the comment without having finished listening
hahaha Cheers guys

Lol. We always had that stat in mind, Steveex
But there are so many good Dortmund players that don't get their due, we were drawn to various players (Santana in my case.... Although he's been a little error prone recently, he still plays brilliantly in my opinion for someone who isn't really a regular starter). Grosskreutz is still an amazing player, and I was tempted to mention him as well for sure.
Lewandowski, last season, was having the time of his life. People weren't too sure of his game, and he had the skill, and also a bit of the "what's he going to do" factor. This season, people do realize what he brings to the table, and defenders have adapted to counter him a lot better, in my opinion. This in turn, has left a lot of space for Reus, Kuba and Goetze to exploit. But as you say, its not been the same season, yet an exceptional player
Weindenfeller is an interesting call here. It looks like both you and Jeroen are in agreement with his abilities, while I certainly feel he can improve on his game and actually do a bit better. Maybe he already is stepping his game up from previous years, but there are still a few more chinks in his armour. I doubt either of us will complain though, if he does end up playing even better
Cheers for the response bud! Looking forward to more debates in the future

About Weidenfeller: he's one of those keepers who can ruin a game for a team or save it. In that way, he's very similar to Victor Valdés. And this season, I dare say he's as good as a good Victor Valdés usually is. He is not the 'perfectly complete' keeper a guy like Neuer can be, because his distinct inability to catch crosses and set pieces used to be a major flaw, but this season he saved us numerous times. In the past two seasons Hummels and Subotic were so dominant, not in the least in the air, that his faults were of little impact.
This season, like Steve also mentioned, we aren't as rock-solid in defence (Subo started poorly and was injured a few times, the midfield wasn't as much in-tune with our defence as before with Bender out for so long) and Weidenfeller was truly tested and passed with flying colours when it mattered. Instead of hesitating and relying on the super two defenders in front of him, he now defends his goal on high balls by punching the ball far away out of danger, a method that's proven to be very efficient with a much decreased chance of errors. And his reflexes are great as always, which means shots that would normally always go in are often stopped by him anyway. He made strings of greats saved in Europe as you all saw. So the two most important tasks a goalkeeper has; dealing with dangerous high balls and parrying shots, are coped with extremely well now, despite our weakened defence. Take it from a guy who saw Weidenfeller (and Valdés at Barça) as a weak link before: he is doing very well this season.
Another thing that kind of taints our performances in comparison to previous years is Bayern's unbelievable consistency. I don't think I have ever seen a team getting so few goals against for over half a season. And it looks like they're gonna' keep that great spell of form (can't even call it a spell of form any more, it's utter dominance) up for the remainder of the season. Last season they lost their talismanic (vice-)captain Schweini in the middle of the season and their clean sheets melted like snow in front of the Sun. Now they are quite lucky to not have any key players who can't be replaced out injured, and their new signings in Dante, Mandzukic and Javi Martínez are proving to be very useful signings. The lethality of their squad means no teams will really take them on as they did in previous seasons, or they'll most likely lose 6-1. Right now, teams prefer to lose 3-0 instead -. -
Credit to Bayern where it is due though: if they manage to keep that up for the rest of the season, the Bundesliga will never have had a more worthy champion. But they better stay the f**k away from Dortmund's players in the summer, haha

Oh and I also forgot to mention my favorite surprise player of the season: Gündogan!
He already showed by the end of last season some major sparks (being the goal in the DFB against Fürth the biggest one, I think here his where "nod exploded")
As of now I rate him higher (taking into accoutn overall qualities) than Sahin during his champions season. The technique, the ability to singlehandly change the pace of the game at his will is way more than I expected when we first got him.
Cudos on our Management for seeing that potential when probably no one else thought he could step up to the task. He had a hard start but now it's impossible to take him out of our starting XI.
Oh what the hell, at this moment, everyone deserves credit

The Bible declares that God is faithful, meaning that he is firm, reliable, steadfast, sure, dependable, and trustworthy. The Hebrew word for faithful is "aman," from which we derive our English word "Amen."
As our college students head home for summer vacation, they face an overwhelming burden of debt due to Gov. Nikki Haley's budget cuts.
Her budget cuts have forced South Carolina's colleges to have the highest tuition in the Southeast. Haley talks about building our economy, but refuses to allow money in the budget to build a foundation for an affordable higher education system.
In this month's column, I will discuss the budget process used by Lancaster County.
At the June 23 County Council meeting, the 2014-15 county budget was on the County Council agenda for final approval. However, the budget process began more than six months earlier in December 2013.
Next month, I'll be attending the Lexington County Peach Festival in Gilbert.
The Peach Festival is one of my home county's proud traditions. For nearly 60 years, tens of thousands have flocked to this small town on Independence Day weekend to pay tribute to one of our state's favorite summertime fruits.
I am writing this in response to John Lage's article, "The tea party believes in the Constitution," published in the May 21 edition of The Lancaster News.
Mr. Lage, I have spent most of my adult life as an educator, first as a high school teacher of U.S. History for nine years and 25 years as a college professor of theater and speech.
I spent many years in classrooms in preparation for my work. I have multiple degrees, including a high school diploma. Therefore, I am well acquainted with the classroom.
Residential developers need good local schools and good county services for their houses to sell and to make new residents happy. The county and the school district are both suffering from the long term emphasis on homebuilding in Indian Land that has led to a property tax base that does not expand its revenue as fast as it expands its need for services.
It seems Susan "the unreliable" Rice has been sent out to spread fabrications to make the Obama administration look good once again.
You'd think that after the Benghazi debacle of lies, someone would have learned a lesson about lying to the American people. But after her first round of lies, she was promoted to national security advisor so she could not be forced to testify about Benghazi.
The email arrived about a month ahead of the 18th South Carolina Book Festival, held May 17-19 in Columbia, asking if I would moderate a session or two.
Since my next book, "Southern Justice: The Execution of George Stinney Jr.," won't be published until early next year, I had offered to moderate a session at this year's festival.
The Lancaster County general fund budget for fiscal year 2015 is coming in at $40.3 million, up from $38 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 and $35 million at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. The maximum tax increase of 2.3 mills for 2015 raises the property tax rate to a total of 78 mills.
For 2015, there is also a special above-the-cap property tax increase of 0.75 mills to provide extra help for the solicitor, public defender and magistrate's court to reduce the time defendants spend awaiting trial.
One of the favorite sayings of my grandaddy, the late Ross Williams, involved our penchant for being too judgmental of others.
I heard him say more than once, "Son, be careful about pointin' a finger at others."
"Now, look down at your hand," Grandaddy Ross would say, "There are three fingers pointin' right back at you."
Even now, 30 years after his death, that comes to mind.

Cheap-n-cheerful HTML page template system. You create a template containing:
variable names between percent signs (
blocks of repeating stuff:
START:key ... stuff END:key
You feed the code a hash. For simple variables, the values are resolved
directly from the hash. For blocks, the hash entry corresponding to
key will be an array of hashes. The block will be generated
once for each entry. Blocks can be nested arbitrarily deeply.
The template may also contain
IF:key ... stuff ENDIF:key
stuff will only be included in the output if the corresponding key is set in the value hash.
Usage: Given a set of templates
T1, T2, etc
values = { "name" => "Dave", state => "TX" } t = TemplatePage.new(T1, T2, T3) File.open(name, "w") {|f| t.write_html_on(f, values)} or res = '' t.write_html_on(res, values)

Idaho Rush's One World Soccer Camp was a roaring success again this summer. With the support of local businesses, the Boise Parks and Recreation Department, the Agency for New Americans and dozens of individual volunteers and coaches we were able to serve more than 80 players ages 5 to 18. Over the course of the four-day camp:
- All players received a complete set of soccer equipment, including cleats, shin guards, socks, water bottle and ball.
- Players had transportation to and from the camp.
- Players had a snack and lunch every day.
- More than two dozen volunteers and coaches donated their time each day, helping make the camp run smoothly.
To see more of the camp, including words from camp founder and former Idaho Rush player Atticus Hoffman, watch the video below:
The One World Soccer program is our extended effort to help young players in Boise's surprisingly large refugee community get comfortable in their new home and mainstream into American society by using the common denominator of soccer.
We are already starting the collection process for next year's camp. It you have lightly used soccer equipment -- especially cleats, shin guards and balls -- bring it to the Idaho Rush office and we will get it in the hands of someone who really wants it.

A three-axis CNC-controlled Dremel tool
You must contact the owner about getting an account on the linux box that runs the machine.
- Generate G code
- Load G code into AXIS (or one of the other front-ends).
- Secure workpiece
- Cut
- Profit!
Maintenance Info
There is no routine maintenance required. When you're done with it, be sure to power down the controller box AND the linux box (it doesn't automatically power down on shutdown).
Due to an oversight while building it (forgot to put a flat on the bar that the set screw screws into), the y-axis pulley may become loose over time. If this happens, you'll need to remove the access panel on the y-axis uprights and tighten the set screw.
- Can I mill printed circuit boards on this thing? Hasn't been done yet, but should be possible.
- Can I drill printed circuit boards on this thing? Yes! Basically, you just need to translate your drill file to the lingua franca of the mill, G code.
- How do I secure my work piece when milling? The base now has a removable piece of MDF with several 1/4-20 blind nut inserts embedded in it. Using 1/4-20 bolts and fender washers, you can secure your work piece fairly well.
- How fast is the spindle on the Dremel tool? It's variable from 5,000 to 35,000 RPM.

Topic: SQLite & Locally Installing Gems
I am a rubby noob (came from PHP) and I have been reading the new edition of agile programming with rails. I use the shared host bluehost which supports ruby on rails. Bluehost installs only the required gems (eg. ActionPack, ActionMailer, Rake, etc). So I know I am going to sound dumb but how do I locally install gems (eg. put in vendor directory). How would I go about doing that.
Also I want to learn how to use sqlite. I do not care whether it is sqlite2 or 3 I just would like to use sqlite. I have tried using sqlite (in the depot app from the book) but I get an error during scafolding. Is there any changes I need to make in order to use sqlite?
If it is too difficult please tell me as I don't have a problem using mysql. I just want to be able to more easily distribute my rails applications. Just an upload and maybe edit a few files process. But it would be ideal not to have people need to use SSH.
I will surely be asking more questions. I have heard how awesome rails is. I tried out cakePHP and Symfony but than I just figured why don't I just go with the real thing. So now I just started using rails this weekend and even though I have had a few wierd errors it has simply been a dream. The sheer speed, the scafolding, the way RoR guides you through app making while still giving you control. I am shocked to be able to make an application so fast. So anyways I am in love with rails. Right before I even began to learn rails (although I messed around wit it a few months ago) I got a project to design a dynamic website for a second life magizine (the video game).

"Where are you from?"
It's a simple enough question for most people, a
getting-to-know-you sort of conversation starter. But Mary Beth LeCroy,
M.Div. junior, says, "I never know quite how to answer that question, and
it always leaves me feeling sort of homeless." Having moved from place to
place as a child, following an Army dad, and heading to boarding school at
age 15, she's never really found a place to call home.
But throughout her transient childhood, she says, one thing
remained constant: "If I can point to one thing and say, 'This is where
my home is,' it's music."

Rob Long may be the only PTS student whose application to seminary included a reference letter from New Jersey's new governor, James E.
McGreevey, albeit written in 1999 when McGreevey was the mayor of Woodbridge.
McGreevey described Long, who worked on his 1997 gubernatorial campaign (which McGreevey lost) and more recently on his successful 2001 campaign, as a person who "has dedicated his life toward helping others through work with nonprofit associations and political activism," and whose life has followed Jesus' directive that "just as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me."

In a reaction against sexism, our society practices what you might call reverse sexism. Women are given prominence over men, and men are beaten down as irresponsible dullards who can't get anything right. Many men invite and deserve this treatment, caring only for pleasure and entertainment. Many women are glad to give it, thrilled at the chance to turn the tables on male chauvinism. And on it goes, as fallen humans live out the curse of Genesis 3.
But it should not be so with Christian men and women. We are to be peaceful and orderly, reflecting the character of God. That's why, in 1 Timothy 2 and 3, Paul sets both genders straight, teaching them God's design for men and women in the church. He addresses men first, reminding them of their responsibility to lead. And the first role in which they lead is the vital area of prayer.
In 1 Timothy 2:8 Paul begins his instruction with this command: "Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension." That text sets the backdrop for the call to pray. "Therefore" refers to the first seven verses of 1 Timothy 2, which discuss the importance of praying for all people—especially non-Christian authorities. The responsibility of offering public prayer is the special duty of men.
The Greek word translated "men" in verse 8 refers to men not in the generic sense, but to men in contrast to women. Men are to be the leaders when the church meets for corporate worship. In the Jewish synagogue, only men were permitted to pray, and that practice was continued in the church. The Greek phrase translated "in every place" refers to an official assembly of the church (1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:8). Paul was saying that no matter where the church officially gathers, select men are to lead in public prayer.
Some claim that contradicts 1 Corinthians 11:5, where Paul permits women to pray and proclaim the Word. That passage, however, must be interpreted in light of 1 Corinthians 14:34, which forbids women to speak in the assembly. Women are permitted to pray and proclaim the Word, but not when the church meets for its official worship service. That in no way marks women as spiritually inferior (cf. Galatians 3:28) — not all men proclaim the Word in the assembly either, only those called and gifted to do so.
The second half of 1 Timothy 2:8—"Lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension"—specifies how men are to pray. The emphasis there is not on lifting literal hands but on offering worship in holiness. It's a specific qualification for the men selected to lead prayer in public worship: They must live holy lives. And their inner attitude is "without wrath and dissension." Church leaders are not characterized by anger and strife; they are to have loving, peacemaking hearts.
Leading the congregation to God in prayer is a simple way to begin leading in the church. But at the same time, it's a tremendous responsibility. By stepping up to take on that role, men can both serve the church and challenge our culture's low view of men.
Next time, we'll further examine God's design for leadership in the church. What sort of men can lead—what are the qualifications? Stay tuned.

What a stark difference in many churches today. I fully support the post, because it is Biblical. The feminist movement is so strong, the church succumbed to it years and ago and the momentum today is staggering. Once again, the charismatic church does play a role in much of this, as the early 1900's saw many "holy ghost" filled women emerge as evangelists and later pastors. One prominent pentecostal denominational bishop endorses the emergence of women as pastors and bishops. It is true, when persons go outside of scripture, constructing their own interpretations, anything is possible.

I thoroughly enjoyed this post. I'm sure that many would not agree but, then again, how do you disagree with God's word? I guess by interpretation but, as I said, I did like this blog post!
I've often turned heads when I open up our church book club gathering by asking a man to open and to close our gathering in prayer. I've never been comfortable with leading in prayer and can only recall praying openly before I give a testimony. Sad that this topic is such a hot-button topic. I, for one, would like to see all evangelical churches correctly practice this. I do wonder though, would you say this is more because men have not stepped up on this issue, or that women simply wish to dominate?
Again, thank you for a great post and look forward to the next one on this subject.

My family and I currently attend the Pentecostal denomination that I believe you are referring to and I must confess that the encouragement of female leadership is one of the biggest issues that has really bothered me about our local church.
That being said, our church is technically "under" that particular denomination but is more "classic Pentecostal" than anything I've seen come out of the head office and is definitely NOT charismatic. The teachings from the denomination's head office (we regularly check their website and read their newsletters) that we disagreed with have not appeared in our church. We keep our eyes and ears open.
I thank the Lord for programs like GTY and other trustworthy Christian sources that keep us on our toes, open our eyes to what is around us and remind us to pray and seek the Lord in all things. Thank you for everything you do - we have grown much thanks to your teachings and sharing of the Gospel.
I briefly revisited the charismatic/Pentecostal kind of church that I used to attend exclusively. This whole women can be teachers of men and leaders thing is totally prominent there. They insist that scripture is misinterpreted and give as proof texts things like " In Christ there is no male or female" to back up their claims.
I have personally observed (and this is no doubt a politically incorrect thing to say) that many of the churches that have gone awol from scripture have women who are very mannish in appearance and overall demeanor; severely short hair, pants wearing in both the literal and figurative sense of that, quite dominating. I wonder why they don't notice the unflattering effect that it has ? I realize that a woman can wear slacks that are feminine and not tight and revealing of course so I am not saying that women MUST wear dresses at all times. But these ladies seem to go to pains to look "modern" and fit in with the culture. No one seems to notice just how unappealing the overall effect is. I was watching a very well known woman bible teacher on a Christian television show teaching both women and men, and I found her mannerisms very unfeminine and unappealing to watch. I don't know if she thought her finger stabbing gestures to emphasize points or her frenetic energy as she moved all over the stage somehow added strength to her presentation but it turned me right off. Sadly, it reminded me of an aggressively hyper and yappy dog! Her materials are used by many and thought to be just great but my response was that I wouldn't want to learn that brand of "Christian womanhood" at all.
Many of these changes in outward appearance came about as a result of the woman's liberation movement, aka feminism. Prior to that women looked like women and wore dresses and even the wearing of hats was common practice in overall society in and out of church right up until the shucking of all symbols of authority and gender began to occur in conjunction with the feminist movement. Not to put too fine a point on it but its my thought that these changes in society and culture did not come about as a result of greater revelation of God and godly freedom but because society was rejecting God, and embracing psychology, feminism and humanism. This resulted in the desire to erase all evidences of God and by extension those things that point to him such as maleness and femaleness and submission to authority, esp. male authority, respect and honor, which of course is symbolised in many cultures by the wearing of some form of hat or head cloth. I for one would be really excited to find a church that wanted to return to biblical standards and while perhaps they don't force the issue of hats and dresses at least allowed and supported women who wished to honor God that way. Thanks for the time to share my ruminations on this important subject.

The Walnut Creek Aquanuts' strong run on NBC's "America's Got Talent" may have come to an end Wednesday, but not before they impressed millions while showing off the sport of synchronized swimming.
The Aquanuts fell just short of advancing to the semifinals on Wednesday's voting results show at Radio City Music Hall as dance group Innovative Force, comedian Angela Hoover, country singer Marty Brown and singing group Forte moved on.
"We kind of became friends with a lot of the other acts backstage, so they're happy for Angela and Marty and the other people that make it through, so they're OK," Aquanuts coach Kim Probst, a 2008 Olympian, said. "All the acts were so different that you don't feel super competitive with each other just because you respect what they do as well. There was pretty good camaraderie backstage, and everybody's cheering for each other, so that part of it was really fun I think that was the girls' favorite part."
The Aquanuts got the judges' and reviewers' attention on Tuesday's performance show after their 90-second routine to Rihanna's "Diamonds" in a rooftop pool. Judge Howard Stern called the act "amazing" and "spectacular," and Heidi Klum agreed, saying, "It's hard-core what you girls do, and I really enjoyed it."
Avery Thompson, a reviewer for Hollywoodlife.com, wrote: "This synchronized swimming group definitely has our attention. They performed an impeccable routine to Rihanna's "Diamonds," complete with dazzling high heels. The ladies had to go the extra mile due to an injury that sidelined one of their teammates. Despite the added pressure, the ladies had a captivating routine that is so different from anything we've seen on the show."
Andrea Reiher of Zap2It added: "Innovative Force and Aquanuts really stood out. They were professional, polished and put on very difficult acts without a stumble. We think those two should be shoo-ins."
Probst said she was impressed with how the team handled the pressure of competing before millions on national TV.
"I definitely saw them, especially these past 10 days in New York, just step it up, realizing that it is high-stakes and it is serious," she said. "We tried to let them know that you're not just doing this for yourself, you're doing it for your club and your sport. And I think they really took that responsibility seriously, which was nice to see. I've never seen us swim like that after only having the routine for a short amount of time, when you usually have it for a whole year. So I think they definitely realized that if you put your mind to it, you can make it good really fast."
The Aquanuts, based in Walnut Creek, Calif., are considered one of the most prestigious synchronized swimming clubs in the world, having produced numerous Olympians while winning more than 200 national and world titles since its creation in 1968. Just this year, the Aquanuts won the senior team title at the SwimOutlet.com U.S. National Synchronized Swimming Championships in April.
The Aquanuts who competed on the show were: Morgan Boneberg, Sofia Bouzos, McKinzie Chelberg, Alyson Haylor, Sarah House, Jamie Kuchan, Suying Rothrock and Alexa Tchekmarev. Boneberg, Chelberg, Kuchan and Tchekmarev also competed as part of a U.S. National Team that won the silver medal at the U.S. Open in Irving, Texas, earlier this month.
"I think besides traveling and meeting the other acts, probably the best part for the girls was having such support from the synchro family," Probst said. "We had people texting us, 'My whole family voted 21 times, and everybody at my work did too.' I think that was so encouraging and made them work even harder this week. So we were feeling that support. We even had people who live in Manhattan now that were synchronized swimmers in their past coming to the live shows to support them. I think that was one of the best parts for the girls and for the sport."
