"Social TV" Is Redundant
May 1, 2013
Television has always been a social medium — and even in the era of Facebook and Twitter, TV is still the best at bringing communities together. While online is where people go to find, TV is where people experience.

Sled dog race season set to begin in region
The new year has dawned and now that the Upper Peninsula is fully into winter, it's time to start thinking about sled dog races.
Even though mushers and their dogs train year-round, spectators have only a few chances to attend races, and are getting anxious for the events to occur.
They won't have to wait long, either, with the area's first sled dog event set for Saturday in Luce County.
The annual Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race begins at 9:30 a.m., and this year it was moved to Muskallonge Lake State Park. It was headquartered at the Rainbow Lodge at the mouth of the Two-Hearted River for the past 13 years, but the lodge and many of the trails used during the race were destroyed in last spring's Duck Lake wildfire.
The switch to the park, which is located on Luce County Road 407 about 28 miles north of Newberry, should be a smooth transition with lots of activities for the entire family.
There will be pro and sport classes of races – ranging from the 12-dog, 60-mile and 40-mile races for professionals to a pair of six-dog sport class teams running races from 4 miles to 30 miles.
In addition, there will be snowmobile safety demonstrations from 11 a.m. to noon and snowshoeing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The day of racing can serve as a warm-up for the big U.P. 200 Sled Dog Championships in mid-February. The main 12-dog, 240-mile race, which is a qualifier for the famed Iditarod race in Alaska, gets under way the evening of Feb. 15 in downtown Marquette, a start that draws thousands of spectators.
Mushers will then head to Grand Marais, where dogs and mushers are welcomed for a long layover in a festive atmosphere. Racers will return to Marquette, expecting to begin arriving the morning of Feb. 17.
There are also shorter races, including the 60-mile Midnight Run from Marquette to Munising, with a checkpoint in Chatham, and the 30-mile Jack Pine 30, which begins and ends in Gwinn.
Following on the heels of the U.P. 200 races is the Copper Dog 150 that is set for March 1-3, beginning in downtown Calumet and running up the Keweenaw Peninsula to Copper Harbor and back.
These races are wonderful ways to help the U.P. winter go by in an enjoyable way for mushers and their dogs, spectators and the communities that host them.

I just ordered 3 #10 cans of 6 in 1 and 3 Bella rosa cans. The shipping was $1.50.
My mistake. I did not know much about canning size.
But the 'buy more and pay less shipping' is the most common scam on the net. It creates the illusion of saving but you are really just buying more stuff.
Would you reccomend Bonta pizza sauce
Escalon ships a carton of 6 28oz. cans of 6 in 1's for $16.50.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Colonies of Elkhorn coral are fast growing - branches increase in length by 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) per year, with colonies reaching their maximum size in approximately 10-12 years. Over the last 10,000 years, elkhorn coral has been one of the three most important Caribbean corals contributing to reef growth and development, as well as providing essential fish and marine invertebrate habitat.
While once the most abundant stony coral on shallow reef crests and fore-reefs of the Caribbean and Florida reef tract, by the early 1990s elkhorn coral had experienced widespread losses through its range. Multiple factors are thought to have contributed to coral declines, including impacts from hurricanes, coral disease, mass coral bleaching, climate change, coastal pollution, overfishing, and damage from boaters and divers. In 2006, elkhorn coral and a close relative, staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) were listed as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act.

i also made pie with an egg, did you saw it ? i post it in new york style forum
On DDD (Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives), they showed an egg pizza. The lady making it made a crater in the cheese and sauce for each (of the 4) eggs, and made note to pull the shells to the center to contain the mess. Theirs looked very good. She also used more cheese on top to "shield" the yolk.
One of my ex-girlfriends sent me this link. Maybe worth a try. Would use my own dough of course. Been wanting to try a breakfast pie, and it would be a great way to start the day. http://12tomatoes.com/2014/08/recipe-breakfast-pizza.html
The oven is a work of art!!
I don't know if this really could be called pizza, but it has an egg in the dough and a raw egg on the baked Ajarian khachapuri. The dough is shaped into an open gondola shape. Milk is used in the dough instead of water. http://georgiaabout.com/2012/07/18/about-food-acharuli-ajarian-khachapuri/ andhttp://georgiaabout.com/2012/07/13/about-food-khachapuri-georgian-cheese-bread/ A video. http://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/lifestyle/food/khachapuri-constructed--plate-lab/2014/08/29/5300e038-2ef2-11e4-be9e-60cc44c01e7f_video.html?tid=sm_fb Norma

Skip to comments.Its official: New York gun confiscation is on [Gun permit suspended over medication]
Posted on 04/09/2013 7:55:17 PM PDT by marktwain
And so this is how it begins: a man with no criminal record and no mental health issues is told by the state that he must turn in his legally-purchased arms to the state because they somehow accessed his medical records. Reader LC Scotty dropped this admission of tyranny into the comments of todays earlier post:
The NYS SAFE Act is billed as a necessary law to protect the public and keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
But Hamburg attorney Jim Tresmond says his client was notified by letter that his gun permit was suspended upon the recommendation of State Police, who learned the man is on anti-anxiety medication.
Claiming that he had taken some psychotropic medications, and that he no longer could be eligible for the pistol permit, Tresmond said.
The permit holder lives in Amherst and Tresmond accompanied the man as he turned in his seven handguns used for target-shooting to Amherst Police.
A law-abiding, honest, hard working professional, who never had one wit of scandal associated with him, criminal or otherwise. And they took his guns away, Tresmond said.
Tresmond is one of the attorneys already suing the state over passage of the SAFE ACT, which at the time was the toughest gun control law in the country.
Tresmond says his client once took a prescribed medication for his anxiety but he is not mentally ill. The Amherst man ended his prescription use within the last year.
He is a law-abiding citizen, no record. He is a stellar member of the community, I would say. Not an ex-felon. He is one of the nicest young men I have met in a long time, Tresmond said.
Officials confirmed state law permits the suspension of a gun permit before the permit holder even gets a chance to state their case.
Id suggest it is time for New Yorkers to take some time to pray this evening, and decide how much more tyranny they are willing to take.
How does that musty old document Cuomo and Bloomberg hate so much go again?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
This process has been ongoing in New York for over a century. That is why there are so few gun owners in New York City now, because we let the Sullivan act fester there, unchecked, for a century.
It is a national scandal that such a major infringement as the Sullivan act, put into law to protect organized crime, was allowed to infringe on New Yorkers Constitutional rights for all this time.
The alternative was the police killing him and his wife. Maybe his kid(s) too. It's all about saving the children.
"And they took his guns away
No, he gave them up. "
I agree.
Great! So they started with the street gangs, taking their guns first?
Here is the interview Tresmond did with morning talk show host on WBEN Tom Bauerle.
Wait & see what happens when ObamaCare allows the Federales to dig through every (Republican's) medical record. And that is exactly what they are planning.
I may be paranoid, but I am damn sure not stupid.
That's my analysis as well. It's happened/is happening in MA in precisely the same way.
Nowadays you're half a kook if you keep a hunting rifle, never mind carry.
Tyrant Kim Un Hussein must be very pleased that his efforts to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are progressing so easily.
These are the test cases... IMO...
... LEO agencies and bureaucrats experimenting and proving their tactics for passive surrender of legally owned firearms...
Hasn't this fancy-pants New York lawyer heard of an emergency injunction,
....or temporary restraining order in lieu of a hearing/ adjudication.
Never surrender your stuff without due process....
...if they mount-up a raid team in the name of this bogus reason for confiscation--
There you have a stupid-endous tremendous example of overreach with clear violation of constitutional rights, particularly 2nd, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment rights.
Just say'n...
Great! So they started with the street gangs, taking their guns first?
No. Gangsters help get out the vote for representatives of the Democratic [sic] party, plus all the cops and politicians they pay off are affiliated with the same organization.
There is more going on here than just gun confiscation.
Back in the days of the USSR, the Communists used mental hospitals to jail people fpr political reasons.
We are seeing a broad based effort on the part of the US Government to use vague and totally subjective mental health criteria as a pretext to control people.
The Obama Administration is pulling this directly out of the Stalin/Lenin playbook.
A perfect example is using "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" as a pretext to confiscate firearms from military veterans and to prevent vets from having guns in their possession.
I'll leave to peoples imaginations as to why the Obama Administration is so focused on preventing trained US military combat vets from having success to firearms.
"because they somehow accessed his medical records"
So, what did you think the Obamacare databases were really going to be used for?
Same thing in 1994 Staten Island after the Feinstein Federal gun ban, NYC used licenses to round up those guns.
This is why you can have my lawyer after you pry my cold dead hands from around his throat. (Though they would make decent compost)
[[progressing so easily.]]
We shoudl not only be upset with our anti american dear leader, but with the right for their spineless cowardice- they are just as guilty of anti-americanism as dear leader and the left are
[[There you have a stupid-endous tremendous example of overreach with clear violation of constitutional rights, particularly 2nd, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment rights.]]
And hwere is his lawyer in all this? Where is the NRA Damnit?
No, Big Tim Sullivan was the New York Tamminy Hall organized crime boss that got the law passed. He was concerned that new immigrants were not so willing to pay protection money, and his boys were getting shot.
So he engineered the law that bears his name, where the corrupt New York City machine could decide who could legally have pistols, and who could not.
It escalated from there.
[[But Hamburg attorney Jim Tresmond says his client was notified by letter that his gun permit was suspended upon the recommendation of State Police, who learned the man is on anti-anxiety medication. ]]
Wherei n the consitution does it say soemoen on anti-anxiety medications is unfit to own a gun? Who determiend that he was unfit? What was their diagnosis? Was he under hteir care long enough for them to make that determination? What signs did he exhibit that warrented such a drastic action against him?
IF he miraculously wins this case- I hope to hell he sues the CRAP out of those who confiscated his guns-
Criminals will have taken note that the man is now unarmed.
I wonder how long it will take before they come knocking.
Some day aspirin and Tylenol will be considered anti-anxiety medication.
Are you kidding? That can get them shot! They'd much rather go after this guy sitting peacefully in his house.
And what if he hadn't given them up and made a stand? Would you have shown up to help? Or would you have sat back and watched it on TV?
Don't take my post personally. I'm just illustrating a point.
No, he gave them up.
Under bad legal advice from a lawyer with bigger fish to fry (his case against the State of NY). It's going to be a lot harder to get the guns back now that the police have their hands on them.
It's not a binary thing, there are more choices than either 1) hand over the guns or 2) be shot by a SWAT team. His attorney could have taken custody of the firearms and arranged for safe storage while the case settles, but for some reason the lawyer thinks it's OK to let the Police hold them. I'm not sure I'd have gone the route they did. Maybe he couldn't take custody, even though he's an officer of the court.
Feinstein has already set up virtually every veteran for this same treatment.
The beast approaches.
They do not want to be called racists, so this will never happen. The gang bangers will be allowed to keep their weapons. And people wonder why I plan on becoming an expat. The psychopaths are running the asylum.
Registration even through so called background checks (that are supposed to be erased after 3 days but are forever in the computer) = confiscation. How many boys are forced to take Ritalin by the central controlled education system? Guess what they can't own a gun. See where this goes?
I'm not sure what the legal procedures are for the transfer of seven handguns in New York.
I'm pretty sure it isn't as simple as it is in North Dakota...
Welcome to the New World Order, soon they will start rounding up those who oppose them and send them to re-education camps, how did that work out for the Jews in NAZI Germany?
Good point. Though, how did it work out for the Nazi's?
So that's it... because some bureaucrat went snooping into this guy's mental health record and found he's on an anti-anxiety drug, his 2nd Amendment rights are forfeit.
And the libs try to give these false assurances gun registration doesn't lead to confiscation. NYers, does he have any options, or are his weapons forever gone?
"Confiscation will not be done, en mass, with armored police raids. It will be done this way, over a generation or two, as registration requirements are tightened and reasons to own guns restricted. Little by little, a bit at a time, until gun owners are few and politically weak."
The local sheriff here is giving speeches before women's groups, urging them to buy weapons and learn how to use them.
Basic physics: For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
It actually only went bad for the NAZI's when we entered the war, now that we have become a fascist government there is no we to save us from them but us.
Socialist fascism is a pure born evil. Islam is it's true origin of birth. We will overcome, once again. The greatest social experiment in human history, will not die, by moral vagrancy. We will overcome, once again.
I very severely doubt it. Ain't nobody got time for that. Besides, American Idol is on.
See, we keep going over how the Constitution has been violated. It's happened and is happening on both sides of the aisle. The Constitution, for all intents and purposes, is nothing more than a piece of paper and a history listen. It has no place in modern times, but for some reason we keep talking about how it's so important. It CANNOT be ignored, and oh how we rail against the criminals.
In the end, we do nothing. We shake our heads when another attack happens. We shake our fists in the air and b*tch to no one in particular when pols piss all over the Constitution. Yet we do NOTHING.
Let's face it: the Great Experiment has been concluded, and we ultimately failed. Because we continue to do nothing.
Cuomo admitted, right from the beginning, that confiscation would be a possibility, but yet the majority of NYers still love him.

As much as I'm excited about these, I wouldn't say that 16:9 is "more advanced" than a 4:3 aspect ratio. 16:9 is too thin in portrait mode. Wide aspect ratios may be commonplace for movies, but movies are just one medium that is viewed on these devices--and even then, hardly the majority of the time for most folks.
Microsoft Corp. on Monday introduced its first media tablets that will be sold under its own brand later this year. The company executives showed two Windows tablets and accessories that feature significant advances in industrial design and attention to detail. Surface is designed to seamlessly transition between consumption and creation. The Surface tablets will primarily compete against Apple's iPad slates.
Microsoft Surface is designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft employees and features extensive investment in industrial design and real user experience. The casing of Surface is created using a unique approach called VaporMg, a combination of material selection and process to mold metal and deposit particles that creates a finish akin to a luxury watch. Starting with magnesium, parts can be molded as thin as 0.65mm, thinner than the typical credit card, to create a product that is thin, light and rigid/strong.
The VaporMg approach also enables a built-in kickstand that lets one transition Surface from active use to passive consumption – watching a movie or even using the HD front- or rear-facing video cameras. The kickstand is there when needed, and disappears when not in use, with no extra weight or thickness.
Microsoft Surface also features Touch Cover keyboard that senses keystrokes as gestures, enabling to touch type significantly faster than with an on-screen keyboard. Touch Cover clicks into Surface via a built-in magnetic connector. Surface sports a full-sized USB port and a 16:9 aspect ratio of the screen, which is more advanced than 4:3 aspect ratio of Apple iPad.
Two models of Surface will be available: one running an ARM processor featuring Windows RT, and one with an Intel Core "Ivy Bridge" processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. Surface for Windows RT will release with the general availability of Windows 8, and the Windows 8 Pro model will be available about 90 days later. Both will be sold in the Microsoft Store locations in the U.S. and available through select online Microsoft Stores.
Suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC. OEMs will have cost and feature parity on Windows 8 and Windows RT.

Jaime Hernandez: The 2004-D Jefferson Nickel received a new reverse design this year. From 1938 - 2003 the Jefferson Nickel carried the same basic Thomas Jefferson obverse along with the Monticello Building reverse.
In 2004 the obverse remained the same and the reverse was changed to a Peace Medal design. The 2004-D Peace Medal design is a one year type as the reverse was changed again during the year, but this time to a Keel Boat design. Both the Pace Medal and Keel Boat reverse designs were only used in 2004.
The 2004-D keel Boat nickel is common in circulated grades up to M66 condition. In MS67 condition they become very tough to locate from circulation and most example probably in this grade or higher probably came from original wrapped rolls. In MS68, it is very scarce with none existing in higher condition.

Cuff Links is the best routine Harry Anderson ever developed. It has everything. Lots of Magic. Brilliant use of audience participation. Hilarious situation comedy. And a big finish. Not to mention handcuffs and flaming money!
Cuff Links is actually two of Harry's routines woven into one great piece of entertainment. In the first routine, Buffalo Bill, Harry invites a lady on stage and hands her the Big Finish envelope. Then, he borrows two Five Dollar hills from two different gentlemen. He places the bills together and tears them in half. Each spectator gets to keep one half of their bill as a receipt. Taking a lighter, Harry accidentally sets the remaining two bill-halves on fire. They go up in a brilliant flash! Now, Harry brings out his wallet which bursts into flames! He quickly puts it away. The lady is now instructed to tear open the sealed envelope. There, inside, are two halves of two Five Dollar bills. Of course, the two halves exactly match the ones held by the two spectators!
All of which brings us to Cuff Links. Harry borrows the four Five Dollar bill-halves back from the gentlemen. For some reason they give the money to him! The lady is instructed to tear the four pieces in half. She does. Harry takes the eight pieces and changes them into a real Ten Dollar bill! He then tears the ten in half and tries to give each spectator one half. They laugh and say "NO!" OK. So, he puts the two fives in a wallet and hands it to the lady to hold. She is not to let go of the wallet no matter what! Now, Harry snaps a set of genuine Smith and Wesson Handcuffs onto his own wrists. Suddenly, his arms and the lady's arms are linked together!
The fun begins. They try and unlink. She puts her head through his arms. He slides all the way to the floor. He puts ones foot between his arms. Suddenly, his hands are cuffed between his legs. He steps through with his other foot. Finally, they are unlinked! The lady is asked to open the wallet. Inside, she finds two Five Dollar Bills! Wow!! Harry brings one of his hands around to the front. There is one manacled hand dangling from his other wrist! He returns the bills to the spectators. He thanks the lady and sends her back to her seat. And, he bows to tremendous applause!
Cuff Links is an unbelievable routine. Truly a reputation maker. It comes with the special Handcuffs; The Locking Himber Wallet; The Fake Hand and The Full Routine. Supply your own Flash Bills and Hot Wallet.

Case Study: USAFact
USAFact Drives Higher Revenues with Sugar Professional™ and Empowers Sales On-The-Go With Sugar Mobile™
Business Issue:
USAFact is an Internet based pre-employment screening company that has been in business for over thirty-three years. It represents an array of clients from Fortune 500 companies to non-profit organizations and processes thousands of reports daily.
In early 2010, USAFact experienced executive management changes with the addition of a new CEO and COO. Once on board, the executives quickly realized USAFact's SugarCRM solution was not being managed properly to support its sales and operations groups. As a result, there was low user adoption, its sales team did not have a quote structure in place, managers were unable to track accountability, activities or profit, and opportunities were falling through the cracks.
- Ability to build a performance-based sales platform that could support many high-level customizations.
- A cost-effective, flexible solution with ease of integration to successfully streamline the company's operations.
Because of its background with Sugar Professional and Sugar's solution partner, Epicom, USAFact management decided to stick with SugarCRM. It worked with Epicom to expand its Sugar solution and strengthen the company. As a result, USAFact has increased revenue, and it has improved its quotes modules, its web-to-lead processes and reporting capabilities.
- Achieved its highest sales performance quarter of 2010 with a 20 percent increase in revenue
- Reduced sales cycles from 3-6 months to within the same week of an inbound call
- Streamlined quote generation process from a three person task that took 30 minutes to a one person task that takes less than five minutes.
- Increased contract values 15 percent with a customized quote module that supports customer upgrade purchase opportunities
- Gained real-time, mobile access for agents using Sugar's mobile platform on the iPhone

Skip to comments.GOP Senators More Troubled About Benghazi After Talking With Amb. Rice
Posted on 11/27/2012 10:17:26 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
After meeting with U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice this morning, three key Republican senators emerged to say they're more troubled not less by what they say were intelligence failures and misleading information concerning the September attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans dead.
One, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said it's too soon to even be speculating about promoting Rice to be secretary of state.
Congress needs to see "FBI interviews of survivors ... and what was said the night of the attack" about who might be responsible, Graham said, before considering the promotion of anyone who was involved in handling the intelligence before or after the Benghazi attack.
Graham was joined by senators John McCain of Arizona and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. She said she's "more troubled, not less," after talking with Rice and top U.S. intelligence officials about the attacks.
Though President Obama has not yet nominated anyone to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (who plans to soon leave), McCain, Graham and some other Republicans have already been saying they have doubts about whether Rice should get that job. They say she misled the nation by saying that the attacks may have begun as protests over a anti-Muslim video produced in California...
(Excerpt) Read more at wbur.org ...
They may well cave, but this was kind of smart. Bring her in, give her a chance and then criticize her. Very Obama like. Lol
Forget Rice. She's just one more layer of protective coloration around the oval office, which is where the lies started.
These yahoos are nothing but hot air. They will conspire and join the enemy.
Who are they? Why haven't we heard anything from them? Were they muzzled by the Administration? Were they threatened? etc. etc.
It is a disgrace that nobody is being held to account.
McCain and Graham have been joined at the hip for years. Why is Kelly Ayotte now the third member of the McCain caucus? Any time you see McCain and Graham, she is always right behind. Don't mean to be rude, but her voice sounds perpetually and terminally nervous in interviews.
I couldn't really care less whether Susan Rice or some other leftist Obama minion gets appointed SoS, but I do hope that our fearless Senators find out who gave the stand down orders that resulted in the unnecessary deaths of our Ambassador and three brave American heroes.
1 - Who invented the lie about protests of the video?
2 - Who (by name) received notice of the calls for help?
3 - The "video motive" was NEVER "the best intel we had at the time", as NO intel, EVER pointed that direction. So, who told you to run with that story, with regard to the attacks on Benghazi?
4 - Before running off to 5 Sunday a.m. news shows, did you ever ask for proof or dig for details, or are you just a sock-puppet?
That's what they are paid to do & it's a guarantee that it will happen. (The corrupt "Two-Party Cartel")
Truth29~:" A good question buried in the article. Where are the 30 plus survivors?
Who are they? Why haven't we heard anything from them? Were they muzzled by the Administration? Were they threatened? etc. etc."
Therein is the key as to what happened in Benghazi !
While we morn the loss of 4 dedicated foreign service officers , we should NOT overlook that there could have been another 30 more casualties from a lack of action by the administration !
Who issued the call to : " Stand Down" !
The State Dept. knew and observed in 'real-time' what was happening , .. and did nothing (?) . Unfreakenbeleiveable !
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
She is a Senate newbie looking for a career.
The Club rules are that newbies must be taken under the wing of one or more older members and shown the ropes. It can cross party lines.
The senior Club members get to appear with the newbie and it freshens up their look. The junior member gets someone "looking out for them" and "guiding" them.
IMHO, one of Rubio's mentors is Menendez, and Rubio sounds like he's falling right in line, just like Ayotte is.
If House members are glasses of red wine, Senate members are snifters of cognac.
G Larry~:" 4 - Before running off to 5 Sunday a.m. news shows, did you ever ask for proof or dig for details, or are you just a sock-puppet?"
Rice had 11 days to the the right information before she did her appearances on the 5 Sunday morning talk shows.
She stated that this was based on "Prelininary intelligence".
Why was there no followup on her behalf before running with the lie ?
FReepers had more intell a day and a half later than the State Dept . ? We already had the anomolies listed and knew that it was a planned attack with heavy munitions.
All the more reason to question her veracity !
All the more reason to keep the internet free from UN or Federal Government control .
She'll be easily confirmed.
She lied. They know she lied. She doesn't even have the ability to come up with a plausible excuse/reason.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
"Cross Border Authority"
Still no mention by media or politician. The cover up continues.
Days of bluster and posturing...
...Followed by a 68-32 vote to confirm. Watch for it.
It was up to Obama to give the order. He should be the target of attention, not his flunkies like Susan Rice.
Yep, nothing more than Kabuki Theater.
But they can't oppose her... to do so would be WAYYYYSISSSSS.
1 - Who invented the lie about protests of the video?
2 - Who (by name) received notice of the calls for help?
3 - The video motive was NEVER the best intel we had at the time, as NO intel, EVER pointed that direction. So, who told you to run with that story, with regard to the attacks on Benghazi?
The "real" president...Valerie Jarrett. With Axelrod nodding like a marine mammal in the backgound.
They will definitely not hold up her confirmation
As long as GOP senators remain "troubled" about the Benghazi affair, the nation will have nothing to worry about.
The Obama administration must be shaking in their boots.
"If the clintons want her as sos, she will be sos. Period."
Hey, how about Bill Clinton for Secretary of State?
(Ref. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/opinion/nocera-obamas-new-cabinet.html?ref=opinion&_r=0)
By JOE NOCERA
Lets move next to the State Department, where an exhausted Hillary Clinton is ready to step down. She has been, without question, Obamas finest appointment. She was also his riskiest. The current favorite for the job, Susan Rice, the United Nations ambassador, is a safe choice, but she doesnt have the breadth that the job requires. Who does? How about Bill Clinton? Seriously
Department of Defense? David Petraeus. After disclosing an affair with Paula Broadwell and resigning as C.I.A. chief, Petraeus is currently doing his stint in purgatory. The Defense Department in Obamas second term is going to need someone who can cut its budget without hurting its mission and who can reform the most entrenched bureaucracy in Washington. The military brass will run bureaucratic circles around any defense secretary who doesnt know their tricks. Petraeus can stand up to them.
They are so unprincipled that they don't even realize they are not racist nor sexist. No matter, they'd cave anyway, same as they did for Bubba.
They're worse than the Democrat senators who at least have the excuse of being in a party taken over by pro abortion communists.
Nailed it, Digger.
That is my point and I intend to harp on that single question until we get the provable answer.... or the Sun burns out and Hell freezes over.
F&F has apparently been burred and those corrupt bastards in D.C. have every intent to bury the truth about Benghazi.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
Here is a disturbing view of what happened in Benghazi from Canada Free Press at http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/51346?utm_source=CFP+Mailout&utm_campaign=5153951421-Call_to_Champions&utm_medium=email
I sent this to Senators McCain, Graham and Ayotte.
If the Republicans can gain access to the affidavits of survivors, the regime is screwed. But they'll never see them, just as they're STILL waiting for F&F docs from the man held in Contempt of Congress who STILL has his job; Eric WithHolder.
"1 - Who invented the lie about protests of the video?"
Exactly!! The whole meme about "oh, they're protesting the video" is so far out in Whackville that you can't even see it from here. NO protesters were running around yelling about the video. So where on earth did that idea even come from? It must have come from our side. FIND the originator of that bogus idea, that the Benghazi attackers were protesting that stupid vid, and you'll unravel a whole lot of this story right there.
Certainly it was Obama. But before you take him on you must have removed every oher possibility so he will have no one to hide behind. They must methodically turn over every rock and expose it to sunlight first - then go for the big O!
I'm thinking there must have been some confusion between Cairo and Benghazi. As far as I know, the idea that there were protests against the video ginned up by Egyptian media and clerics hasn't been refuted.
The first link is from the day of 9/11, before anything in Benghazi had even gotten started from what I can tell.
I don't know, but there was definitely something they are willing to throw everybody under the bus to keep from the public. And since the public really doesn't care about anything that Bambi does, and has now already forgotten about Benghazi, it must be pretty extreme for them to be worried about it.
I'm not sure just the fact that there were detainees there (even though Obama swore the US wasn't doing that anymore now that the eeevil Bush was gone) would be enough to provoke such a reaction from the WH. They were obviously afraid, even going into the election, that more was going to come out about this and I think they seriously expected not to win if the truth came out. So it's got to be something really bad, but I honestly can't imagine what (unless it's that Bin Laden is alive and well after all or some such thing).
The GOP should drop the elephant and use a picture of a "cave" as its emblem. Maybe Carlsbad or Cave of the Winds in CO Springs.
Yea, the American people are so shallow that they could not understand what really happened in Libya even if shown the evidence.
Or a K-Mart chaise-lounge folded up.
Good question. Why don't we know who they are? Why aren't the media searching out these people for their stories???
They have been forgotten. It's as if there were only 4 people there that night according to everyone looking and talking about this Benghazzi attack. What's going on here???
Exactly! Never mind Susan Rice. It is just distraction. What matters is -
WHY let our people die without any assistance?
Why the cover-up?

Bob, "capable of producing" in the sense you stated it is a flat out insult. I see some mighty fine looking pizzas there, with a range of styles. They are "capable" of producing exactly what they aim for.
"WFO" does not mean "Neapolitan". It means cooked in a wood fired oven.
Bob, when you get a WFO, then we will talk.
Tom, won`t be necessary because when I have a commercial WFO deal I won`t be selling flatbread pizzas out of it.
Don't spend all your money on the oven. Save a few bucks for me to come consult.
Craig, are you willing to be paid in Icehouse?
No. Romanée-Conti or La Tâche maybe...

In The Shadow Of The CrossPosted Tuesday, April 19, 2011, at 9:53 PM
Born in a manger in the shadow of a cross
Innocence purity to a world that was lost
Leaving the glory of His Father behind
Into this dark world the Light came to shine
He lived among us without spot or blemish
The Lamb of GOD from birth to finish
His words were simple a child heart could understand
Lives were changed by the touch of His hand
His life an example of how we should live
Love not a possession but something we give
But darkness resisted as it always does
Desiring the past and the way it was
Falsely accused yet not speaking a word
Love silently spoke and His Father heard
Beaten and bruised wearing a crown of thorns
Dignity was taken as the Lamb was shorn
As disciples were silent the crowd made their choice
Sealing His fate the darkness rejoiced
Beyond the Cross trapped hopelessly in sin
By walls and bars that would let no one in
In a prison of self that I called "free"
Aimlessly I wandered unable to see
Always seeking but never able to find
That missing piece of heart soul and mind
Upon the canvas my life was portrayed
Lost love, shattered dreams, mistakes I had made
Colorful stories recalling the fun I had
Somehow forgetting all the suffering and bad
I held up the picture for all to see
The portrait was empty or was it me
As He stumbled on His way to Calvary
One from the crowd was given the cruel tree
In His final hour the burden was too great
An unworthy person carried the weight
While Simon struggled with the weight of the cross
Jesus was faced with the sins of the lost
In love He spread His arms as hatred drove the nails
Love held back the rescue of His Father's many angels
His body hung in dishonor along with two thieves
At the ridicule of the religious The Holy Spirit grieved
He drank fully that day from the cup of sin
And darkness hungrily came crashing in
His blood flowed to the ground below
The light was quickly losing it's glow
And then it was finished the Son of GOD died
The sacrifice completed the Father cried
Darkness rejoiced at it's victory over GOD and the Light
Over righteousness and godliness and all that was right
But then the Light rekindled and shone brightly in the night
The bonds of sin were broken and the blind received their sight
The prison doors were opened and the lost found their way
Those who walked in darkness now live in the day
Born in a manger in the shadow of a cross
Innocence purity to a world that was lost

I have the heart of a poet, the eye of an artist, and dress like a bum. I am no one important. No title, no position, no authority. Just a normal person. But I know Jesus. And Jesus knows me. And this relationship has changed my life and continues to change my life. I have no desire to be known but great desire for others to know Jesus. I would like to blog about Jesus, christian living, church, hurting, hope. I do not want to lead this blog but follow it wherever it leads.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $6.00 (32% off)
Love it!!!
Posted by eyecandy09 on Jul 05, 2013
I was certainly not expecting such great results from this product 'cause there are so many mixed reviews about it. But this just looks really good on my skin -- whether I apply it alone or on top of my favorite moisturizer... I'm so happy, I will definitely repurchase!!! =)
For mineral makeup. This is great for everyday wash and wear look.
Posted by Reviewer2929277 on Oct 13, 2013
Great colour match for me. NC 30. Sensitive skin took awhile to acclimatise to this though. For the first week, my face itched a bit after application, which is weird because this product doesn't have bismuth oxychloride, which is the common itch causer in mineral makeup. But after awhile, I didn't itch anymore. I can sleep in this without clogging my pores. And I have personally seen redness on my face lessen after using this foundation. That being said, it isn't an excellent foundation as foundations go, as it tends to be patchy (mineral makeup) and it photographs badly (as a natural sunblock, it can't photograph well). It's better for everyday, sun protection, wash and wear, walking the dog kind of complexion. If I know I'm going to be photographed, I usually go for something super preservative-laden, yet lasts like forever and photographs like great skin e.g. Make Up For Ever Face & Body.

Iherb, how could you, how dare you discontinue such a marvelous brand and marvelous product like this? It is so sad... The color is just beneath perfection for me and my face. I am 32 years old and this single powder is more than enough for my face to cover it with amazing smoothness and shiny healthiness effect. Please, I am begging you, come back it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nearly two years ago, in "Who Will Protect Kosovo's Christians?" I wrote:
Dozens of churches, monasteries and shrines have been destroyed or damaged since 1999 in Kosovo, the cradle of Orthodox Christianity in Serbia. The Serbian Orthodox Church lists nearly 150 attacks on holy places, which often involve desecration of altars, vandalism of icons and the ripping of crosses from Church rooftops. A March 2004 rampage by Albanian mobs targeted Serbs and 19 people, including eight Kosovo Serbs, were killed and more than 900 injured, according Agence France Press. The UN mission in Kosovo, AFP said, reported that 800 houses and 29 Serb Orthodox churches and monasteries – some of them dating to the 14th century — were torched during the fighting. NATO had to rush 2,000 extra troops to the province to stop the destruction.
All this happened despite the presence of UN peacekeeping forces. According to news reports posted by the American Council for Kosovo, Albanian separatists are opposing the expansion of military protection of Christian holy sites by UN forces. A main concern of Christians is the fate of the Visoki Decani Monastery – Kosovo's only UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Now that Albanian separatists have declared the Serbian province of Kosovo to be an independent nation — and won backing from President Bush — a chain of events has been put in place that EU lawmakers are already describing as a Pandora's Box.
Why? Because the secessionist move in Serbia is likely to kindle others in places like Georgia, Moldova and Russia (which now much entertain similar aspirations from places like Abkhazia, South Ossetia, or Transdniester). This explains Russia's opposition to the Kosovo breakaway, but it's not alone. Spain, which has contended with Basque, Catalan and Galician separatist movements for decades, refused to recognize an independent Kosovo, saying the move was illegal. Then there's Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus. Some Asian countries also view the Kosovo split as a dangerous precedent. Sri Lanka said the move was a violation of the UN Charter. Canada has officially remained mum on the question so far.
For a good balanced look ahead for Kosovo, see "After Kosovo's Secession," by Lee Hudson Teslik on the Council of Foreign Relations Web site, and the online debate between Marshall F. Harris, Senior Policy Advisor, Alston + Bird, and Alan J. Kuperman, Assistant Professor, University of Texas, LBJ School of Public Affairs.
But I am a skeptic, in case you were wondering. (more…)

Simpson and Vail puts out some good tea.
Yappychappy, thanks for the kudos on S&V… I have never ordered from them before and was keeping my fingers crossed :-)
Jackie T, I am originally from New Haven. I now live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I am soooo homesick for New England ;-(
I just moved to Vermont from New London and frequented New Haven for work!! Originally I'm from Coventry, which is on the border of Tolland and Hartford Counties. I'm still in New England but am homesick for Connecticut nonetheless :( We even have a Connecticut sign hanging on our wall because I miss home.
I get homesick for New England. I lived in Massachusetts and NH and frequently visited my parents when they lived in RI, but I've lived in WA for the last 8 years. Couldn't find a job.
Big Fat Homesick sigh to and with my fellow Connecticut/New England teasters who are homesick!! Let's go brew a cup so we can feel better ;-0

Streptococcus pneumoniae
|Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive, alpha-hemolytic, aerotolerant anaerobic member of the genus Streptococcus.[1] A significant human pathogenic bacterium, S. pneumoniae was recognized as a major cause of pneumonia in the late 19th century, and is the subject of many humoral immunity studies.
Despite the name, the organism causes many types of pneumococcal infections other than pneumonia. These invasive pneumococcal diseases include acute sinusitis, otitis media,acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, meningitis, bacteremia, sepsis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, peritonitis, pericarditis, cellulitis, and brain abscess.[2]
S. pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in adults and young adults, along with Neisseria meningitidis, and is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in adults in the USA. It is also one of the top two isolates found in ear infection, otitis media.[3] Pneumococcal pneumonia is more common in the very young and the very old.
S. pneumoniae can be differentiated from Streptococcus viridans, some of which are also alpha-hemolytic, using an optochin test, as S. pneumoniae is optochin-sensitive. S. pneumoniae can also be distinguished based on its sensitivity to lysis by bile (the so-called "bile solubility test.") The encapsulated, Gram-positive coccoid bacteria have a distinctive morphology on Gram stain, the so-called, "lancet-shaped" diplococci. They have a polysaccharide capsule that acts as a virulence factor for the organism; more than 90 different serotypes are known, and these types differ in virulence, prevalence, and extent of drug resistance.
In 1881, the organism, known as the pneumococcus for its role as an etiologic agent of pneumonia, was first isolated simultaneously and independently by the U.S Army physician George Sternberg[4] and the French chemist Louis Pasteur.[5]
The organism was termed Diplococcus pneumoniae from 1920[6] because of its characteristic appearance in Gram-stained sputum. It was renamed Streptococcus pneumoniae in 1974 because of its growth in chains in liquid media.
S. pneumoniae played a central role in demonstrating genetic material consists of DNA. In 1928, Frederick Griffith demonstrated transformation of life, turning harmless pneumococcus into a lethal form by co-inoculating the live pneumococci into a mouse along with heat-killed, virulent pneumococci. In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty demonstrated the transforming factor in Griffith's experiment was DNA, not protein, as was widely believed at the time.[7] Avery's work marked the birth of the molecular era of genetics.[8]
The genome of S. pneumoniae is a closed, circular DNA structure that contains between 2.0 and 2.1 million basepairs, depending on the strain. It has a core set of 1553 genes, plus 154 genes in its virulome, which contribute to virulence, and 176 genes that maintain a noninvasive phenotype. Genetic information can vary up to 10% between strains.[9]
S. pneumoniae is part of the normal upper respiratory tract flora, but, as with many natural flora, it can become pathogenic under the right conditions (e.g., if the immune system of the host is suppressed). Invasins, such as pneumolysin, an antiphagocytic capsule, various adhesins and immunogenic cell wall components are all major virulence factors.
Interaction with Haemophilus influenzae
Both H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae can be found in the human upper respiratory system. A study of competition in vitro revealed S. pneumoniae overpowered H. influenzae by attacking it with hydrogen peroxide.[10]
When both bacteria are placed together into the nasal cavity of a mouse, within 2 weeks, only H. influenzae survives. When both are placed separately into a nasal cavity, each one survives. Upon examining the upper respiratory tissue from mice exposed to both bacteria, an extraordinarily large number of neutrophil immune cells were found. In mice exposed to only one bacterium, the cells were not present.
Lab tests show neutrophils that were exposed to already-dead H. influenzae were more aggressive in attacking S. pneumoniae than unexposed neutrophils. Exposure to killed H. influenzae had no effect on live H. influenzae.
Two scenarios may be responsible for this response:
- When H. influenzae is attacked by S. pneumoniae, it signals the immune system to attack the S. pneumoniae
- The combination of the two species sets off an immune system alarm that is not set off by either species individually.
It is unclear why H. influenzae is not affected by the immune system response.[11]
Diagnosis is generally made based on clinical suspicion along with a positive culture from a sample from virtually any place in the body.[2] S. pneumoniae is, in general, optochin sensitive, although optochin resistance has been observed.[12]
Atromentin and leucomelone possess antibacterial activity, inhibiting the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (essential for the biosynthesis of fatty acids) in S. pneumoniae.[13]

Commentary on
Implications for practice and research
Nurses are provided with empirical evidence on how they can improve satisfaction with end-of-life experiences and implementing expressed preference for care.
Further research should be undertaken to investigate nurses' current involvement in advanced care planning (ACP) to benefit future activities in acute hospital settings.
Further investigation of the roles nurses play in pursuing high levels of engagement in ACP in non-hospital settings is necessary to provide practical guidance to nurses who would like to increase levels of engagement in ACP in various settings.
Since the emergence of advanced care planning (ACP), numerous studies have focused on the difficulties associated with implementing this in various healthcare settings. …

Topic: Coda: Sweetest Programming Environment ever??
I downloaded the demo and was thoroughly impressed with how well they integrated all the aspects of development...you get FTP, shell, html, css, webkit previews, autocomplete and even documenation all in one app. There are only 2 downfalls
1. Only available for Mac (sorry PC lovers!)
2. Very PHP-centric
While #1 is probably a no-go, i think if enough of us bug them to support Rails, they just might do it!
Download the demo and if you like it as much as I do, give the folks at Panic a ring: email@example.com

Patron Book Review: Reading My Father, by Alexandra Styron
This tell-all book gave me everything I wanted to know about one of my favorite authors Bill Styron. Who would have thought that at times he had such a mean streak that made his own children afraid of him? The family lived a bohemian, glamorous life, surrounded by famous people, which has shades of the life of Scott Fitzgeral. He had an unconventional marriage, since Rose, his wife would just take off for days or weeks to do her volunteer jobs in NY and leave the four children in the care of a succesion of servants and/or to a husband who would nap during the day not worrying about what the small children were doing. It is a wonder that they turned out so well. He was a brilliant writer, almost a genius but oh, those bouts with depression! they were not easy on him or his family. Great read, except I would have like it not to jump back and forth from the present to the past and vice versa.

I have a lot of links for you today, with just a little background, and a little diatribe.
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were drawn up for many cities and towns in the late 1800's and early to mid-1900's. They are wonderful sources of insight and detail on how and where your ancestors lived and worked.
The maps list almost all buildings, streets, places of work, parks, schools, many residences, and town/city layouts. Maps from different years show changing street names, boundaries, and land use. You even get to find out if a factory had sprinkler systems, elevators, and was made of brick, wood, or stone...the maps are that detailed.
A fair number of Sanborn maps have been digitized, and are available in free online collections. That's the good. The collections are sometimes infuriatingly difficult to browse, with very large maps being made available a small window at a time, with limited panning and zoom tools; that's the bad. The maps are never ugly, however...quite the opposite (I just wanted to throw ugly in the title). So without further ado, here are some links to online, free collections of Sanborn insurance maps (and maps from a few other sources, as well).

- California (Santa Cruz County)
- Colorado
- Florida
- Georgia

- Assorted maps from the Library of Congress
(including the OK Corral in Tombstone, AZ)
There are many more such maps in hardcopy and microfilm collections; check with your community library or town/county historical society for local resources.
Don't forget to also check for your family history at Ancestry.com and NewspaperArchive. These are subscription databases, but they are among the most powerful research tools available for looking into family roots.

My first WFO.. cant wait to get started. Pete
I'm no expert, but I'm curing my oven as I type. I have two halogen work lights sitting inside on cookie sheets. After 24 hours, my oven dome temp is 350 degrees and the core temp is 265!!! Reminds me of my sister's Easy Bake Oven...I think the directions to my oven say to cure either with progressively larger fires over three days, or use a heat lamp/blower for a week.
Envy is really not a very noble emotion...but I can't help myself. Enjoy!
Trust me, its a small oven. Took me 4 months to decide.

Full-circle back to the best decision
To the editor:
Thanks for reprinting John Pepin's recent article from The Mining Journal (regarding the decision not to grant a permit for Marquette County Road 595).
Please allow me to clarify a couple of points therein.
The killing of the project has been blamed variously on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and now Rio Tinto.
Blame none of the above, except indirectly. To be acceptable, the "mitigation properties" offered by Kennecott must be accompanied by all of the mineral rights to protect them from mining for all time.
Not all of the documents have been found, therefore there is no guarantee, therefore the properties are not acceptable. That's it.
The MDEQ states that there isn't enough time so they cannot approve a permit. Then the EPA cannot approve, either.
But the very best news came from Kennecott Eagle Minerals spokesperson Dan Blondeau who, after bemoaning the demise of CR 595, added this: "Our focus now turns to existing trucking routes as we originally outlined in our mine permit application."
That makes sense. We have come full-circle to the original and most appropriate way to get that high grade, direct-shipping ore to market. It is the shortest, cheapest, least disruptive route and it rids us of major problems with traffic, long-term maintenance, environmental and tailings management – forever.
Let us give thanks to whomever is in charge.
Thank you.
