More about the crisis and how you can help:state.gov/haitiquake
Today, USAID Administrator Raj Shah and State Department Counselor Cheryl Mills provided an update on the situation in Haiti. Ms. Mills said:
"We've been working very closely with the Haitian Government. We have continued daily meetings not only with the prime minister but also meetings that have been happening with President Preval to sort through their priorities, listen to them as they are thinking through their forward planning as they look ahead to the next steps. We spent time at a conference in Montreal, actually, last week, where Prime Minister Bellerive spoke a lot about the vision for Haiti and in particular about the need to do decentralization in Haiti and to see Haiti grow outward from Port-au-Prince as opposed to remaining concentrated there, and what that might mean in terms of their thinking for how they see the recovery and building of Haiti in the future.
"At that conference there were many countries from around the world, all of whom were pledging to be committed to Haiti, not just today but tomorrow and the next day and the days ahead. Many of them have been long-term partners of Haiti on the ground, and so it was nice to be in a place where so many people who had a great familiarity of not only the Haitian country and culture and government, but also what have been the challenges and the opportunities that are in Haiti. And that's what I think everybody is anticipating focusing on as we look ahead down the road.
"We are anticipating that conference, which will be a donors conference to pledge what resources each country would be willing to put forward to support the building of Haiti, to occur in March. And we are also anticipating that at that time there will have been an assessment that's been done by the UN that will allow us to make the kinds of judgments and the kinds of commitments that will build a better Haiti, or, as the Haitians have said and Prime Minister Bellerive, a new Haiti for the government and the citizens of that country.
"We are very cognizant of the fact that Haiti alone, and certainly not the -- with the United States or anyone else alone can actually accomplish the breadth and scope of the task that's necessary for what needs to be done in Haiti. And so we are really looking forward to critical partnerships around the globe in support of the Government of Haiti and the people of Haiti as they go about defining what their future should look like."
Administrator Shah underscored the fact that rebuilding Haiti, first and foremost, is a partnership with the Haitian Government and described relief and recovery efforts. Administrator Shah said:
"[W]e're ramping up the relief effort and we're trying, in a very focused way, to do things that are sustainable, that are appropriate, and that can contribute to a strong Haitian recovery in terms of the economic recovery and in terms of the recovery of the capacity of public services to sustain services provided to the Haitian population. So when we were talking earlier, our priority and our focus was around saving lives through search-and-rescue, and it has obviously evolved."
The Administrator continued, "[E]very day we are very focused on doing better than we did the day before. And that continual metric we track in quantitative terms, sector by sector. And...I'll just remind folks -- and I enjoy sharing this because it's an important point -- that it is the resilience of the Haitian people that is the primary vehicle through which most relief is provided, and I was reminded of that when I visited and walked through a settlement near the presidential palace. And you walk through that environment, and we would -- we pulled up a blanket and saw a 12-volt battery connected to an inverter connected to a power strip charging probably 20 mobile phones. And people are, in fact, using those types of systems to stay connected to get information and to make effective decisions about where to go for food and supplies and for shelter and other forms of support."
Administrator Shah described how the Haitian Government, the United States and others are addressing various sectors of relief and recovery. He focused on food, shelter, health and water. The Administrator said:
"In the food sector, we've now provided food and two-week rations to more than 800,000 Haitians. The rate of daily service has more than tripled from an initial rate of around 45,000 served a day to now more than 120,000 today. The reason for that significant improvement has been putting in place a fixed distribution system at 16 sites throughout Port-au-Prince. And the U.S. military, together with the World Food Program, the Government of Haiti, and a number of NGO partners, has come together to make that system an effective one.
"In shelter, our target remains between 240- and 300,000 households and providing them with services and the capacity to provide shelter for themselves, and shelter that would be protective in an event of rains. We believe, through the combined efforts of a number of NGO partners, UN partners, and the Government of Haiti, that we've reached approximately 70,000 of those households, especially with plastic sheeting and shelter kits and some training to help support their efforts to build and to maintain a shelter for themselves.
"The rate in terms of the rate of the number of the people we're reaching in that sector has increased significantly in the last 10 days, and we continue to track that, and believe we now have enough materials, plastic sheeting, shelter kits, and NGO capacity to serve up to 260,000 households."
Regarding health, Administrator Shah said:
"We have worked with the Pan American Health Organization, CDC, and the Government of Haiti through its 43 hospitals to help put in place a disease surveillance system that has now 51 surveillance sites. We will soon be starting vaccination campaigns for DPT, for measles, mumps and rubella, and tetanus toxoid. They'll be targeted, of course, to different subgroups of the population.
"In addition to that, we continue with the trauma service and medical service that's been provided by the Disaster Medical Assistance Teams and by the USNS Comfort that has been in the theater. We estimate U.S. medical professionals have now seen more -- or nearly 25,000 patients; that's a tremendous achievement. Of course, the needs with such a tragic situation are far in excess of that, but it is an important point. And we are now working collectively with our NGO partners and, in particular, partners of our PEPFAR program and with the CDC to really help transition some of these medical assets that were brought down by the Disaster Medical Teams to NGO partners who can help sustain their ability to serve Haitians, and also make sure those assets get integrated into a sustained and more effective healthcare system for Haiti.
"The other focus in the health sector for us will continue to be on post-trauma and post-operative care. And we're increasing capacity in Haiti primarily by identifying and expanding the capacities at 31 sites that we believe have the capacity to provide post-operative and orthopedic services."
The Administrator continued, "[W]e have had approximately 2 million liters delivered daily to nearly 160 sites. That has continued to increase steadily week by week, and we have not seen shortages of water in pockets or with settlements."

I am glad to read that the food distribution issue is being addressed. I also hope that all Haitians will soon be able to get food. I hope other nations other than the us are helping in providing security for this cause to keep the releif effort at the multinational level.
OysterCracker in California writes:
If cottage industries like solar panel fabrication, clothing manufacturers could be set up in temporary accomodation outside the city along with medical clinics and schools, it would act as a big draw to get people to depopulate the city center. It would need to be done on a grand scale. Also if temporary but excellent schools were set up and there was free tuition, this would act as a further draw to get people to move from the capitol. The State dept. should push to get these camps in place quickly. Permanent building and structures can be built gradually over time. This is a big opportunity to do it right if people don't waste time.
Paula D. in Indiana writes:
What are you doing to help the hundreds of thousands of orphans or children without a status? You make this report sound as though everything is going so smoothly. Are you living in a fantasy world? Have you read all the independent blogs that tell what is really going on; how children are being raped in tent cities and essentially held captive by UNICEF? Do you see the orphanages sitting empty because UNICEF will not allow children to return to their orphanages? Children are dying because YOU, UNICEF, and the HAITIAN government are on a quest for control. Who suffers? The common people of Haiti suffer. Who is not allowed to help? The millions of families ready to make sure a child does not die and is provided with love and care until they are reunited with family and/or able to be adopted. How do you seriously convince yourself that what you are doing is in the best interest of the Haitian people?
I could go on and on about how sad it is that YOU, UNICEF, and the HAITI Government have power to prevent people from helping and prevent people from getting help. What is the point? You have an agenda and nothing the common citizens of either country say will change this.
May you see how your decisions are hurting the people in Haiti and around the world.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
At what junction in history are we going to take these events seriously enough to place a business like structure and open door political policy for providing aid properly and effectively?
I find it disconcerting that we will use private contracting for our Intelligence, Security, and even Space programs; but, will not relinquish bidding to business to provide a much more cohesive program for deploying aid in such cases, even here in the US.
The fact they have what is considered a 'premature' democratic form of government is still inexcusable for the lack of provisional aid they provided their citizens prior to this terrible event. The building of vacation retreats, golf courses all took precedence over the people's needs and the development of land their citizens could not afford only indentured them to the outside world, not freed them nor did it feed them equally.
The shame is the still replecation of resources and lack of centralized information because it is NOT being handled properly. The recent Child Services Case is a prime example. Too many cooks in the kitchen all trying to help but going in different directions with the same purpose in mind.
Reynold G. in Florida writes:
I hope the administration open doors for haitians living outside the country a chance to help write a constructive and positive page in the contry history. Because for years previous administration have supported only corrupted leaders that bring the country down. I understand we are limited in some structure, but there is no excuse for not having a first response emergency plan for an eventual catastrophy. As a Haitian Citizen, i really appreciate all the efforts of the US Administration to help alieviate the suffering of the haitian; but it worries good haitian citizens with no voice. If the Administration is trully genuine about helping Haiti its time to look for true haitian citizen not the goverment in place nor the so cold NGO's that we have on the field.
Guerdie C. in Florida writes:
I am in the Miami Area does anyone know any companies or organizations that will help with transportation of cargo and people for free or at a reduce rate to Haiti for smaller organizations and churches; because the local cargo services has triple their prices? The big organizations that are in Haiti are not helping enough they have so much bureaucracy to go through they are still working on logistics. After 23 days you would think they figured a way to do it by now. But they have orders to keep everything they collected at the airport on the tarmac, mountains of stuff just sitting there, while the poor people in need are starving and dying for lack of medication. I am only hoping these orders are not from the Haitian government because the only thing they know how to do is to oppress their own people. Someone need to expose what is going on in Haiti the rich people that were not affected have access to everything they go to the airport with their trucks pick up food and medicine some of them are selling it for a hefty price. The real people in need are not receiving the help; people that are in a 5 to 10 miles radius from the airport are not getting food and medicine. Every time I received a report of this sort and see the outpouring of support the American people has displayed by donating money to the big organizations it makes me wonder who is keeping track and really managing the distribution in Haiti. I am begging anyone with information of companies or organizations that will assist in the carrying of cargo and people to Haiti for free or even at a reduce rate please pass on the information it would make a world of a difference.
Diana M. in New York writes:
I was on the main part of this blog and couldn't find any reference to the American missionaries who have been arrested in Haiti, so my comment is going here.
So you're "ramping up" the relief efforts, are you? If that was the case, then answer me this:
Why on earth are those missionaries still in jail and why isn't our government doing anything to get them out? No crime has been committed. Perhaps some paperwork got screwed up when they were trying to rescue those children, but no crime has been committed. Mistakes can and do happen.
And while we're on the subject of hostages, what about those American hikers who are being held by Iran? Is anything being done to help them get out? Are you throwing them under the bus too?
The lack of action on the part of the U.S. government with regard to the arrested missionaries will not encourage people to continue to contribute to the relief efforts.
Isn't your lack of action counterproductive? Shame on you!
C. M. in Maryland writes:
It is wonderful the see the work that is being done in Haiti. I am an Haitian American and have spent a lot of times in Haiti. I curretly have schools that am affiliated with in Carrefour and Mountain lavoute Jackmel. I will be in haiti late Feb to see how I can better help the children I have worked with for so long.
Keep up the good work and hope to join you soon in Haiti.

Hi Sawney -nice thread idea!
I am a M40 runner. My 2011 goal is a sub 36 10k
What about you?
Sawney and 41 Hound - Impressive times already from you 2. Especially Sawney 35:28in your 2nd 10k I take it you were pretty fit before you took up running seriously.
My targets for next year:
Sub 3:15 at Gloucester Mara in Jan current PB 3:16:21
Current 10K best is 39:36 so hoping to get 38:xx next year
Bring HM PB to 1:26:xx
Hi Sawney - it's surprising how good the over 40 Vets actually are. You only have to look down race results and check out the age categories to see a lot of 40+ Vets up there and even winning races. I think it is harder to keep a level of fitness and speed up and longer to recover from races and harder sessions when you get older. We have a few late 50's early 60 runners at our Club still knocking out sub 7 minute miles in races. I think it has helped that some of these guys were doing 1.18 half marathon when they were younger - so it is in their genes I guess.
When I turned 40 last year I had my best year running ever setting PB's at 5 miles: 30.36, 7 miles: 45.45 and half marathon 1.25.26. Didn't have as good a year this year, but fingers crossed for next year as I am chasing a sub 3.15 marathon goal.
My goal for 2011 is to run thriough without injury and to break the 1500 mile barrier a target which has escaped me due to injuries the last couple of years. The only race planned next year is the VLM as I have other things to prioritise first but am aiming to go sub 3 in 2012.
As someone has already siad pick your races carefully as the rune/life ballance just seems to get harder with age.
I finished higher up my age gropup when under 40.
Now I'm an M40 vet I regularly get hammered!
Lots and lots of seriously quick over 40 year olds out there!
When I first joined our club I was invited to train with the vets track and field squad. I did 2 seasons of 800m training and went from 2.27 to 2.12 - I also did 2 seasons at 1500m improving to 4:31. I have to admit that I really had had enough of it by then as my lack of genuine, easy speed was finding me out and I was getting sick of being out - kicked in races! But I enjoyed the vets league. I found the regional / national vets competitions a drag - poor turnout for midland T & F champs, with only 3 or 4 in each age group and a huge gulf in class to national standard ( my 1500m pb wouldbe be good enough for last by 5 seconds ). Too much hanging around and people posturing for my liking too . But it IS great for making a better runner out of people. The speed enduance and aerobic combination gets us very fit, if done well and progresively.
I have now turned back to my first love of cross country and 10k. I love it and I am starting to race well and improve my times. But I wouldn't be where I am without the experience of training and racing middle distance.
I think anyone who can run a 2.12 800m as a first effort will run a lot quicker with training and should be capable of good things as an M40. Certainly running with national champoionship medal chances. Sawney - your starting effort was my final score! I think you should give it a crack alongside the 1500m. Unless your 400m PB is very good,in which case a 400 / 800 combo is best.
One thing I found was that the more I raced the quicker I got in a 8 week period. I would then hit a peak and plateau. So lots of racing at distances 400 to 3000 in the weeks leading up to your key events should help you peak. Nothing prepares you for racing like preparation races.
sawney bean wrote (see)
kicked i think when you reach forty you work harder at what you want to achieve, when your 20 something you take it for granted
So true Sawney.
My key target for this year is to beat my 10k PB set at age 26 when I didn't much enjoy running and training consisted mainly of commuting and touring by bike. Gradual improvement since I got back into running 6 years ago age 38 has seen me peak at 36:51 last season... getting close.
I also had a good buildup and race for VLM (2:54:54) so this year's marathon target is just to stay healthy, enjoy Boston and do a good sub-3 hour time. More important is to beat my rather weaker 5k and half marathon PBs.
I actually enjoy racing as much as possible when feeling good (though in the north here the schedule is a little thin so no danger of overdoing it!) and just taking whatever the day gives you (PB on that flat course in good conditions, strong showing in a hilly race, enjoy the scenery).
Inverness, the occasionally very isolated north in the winter.
And there was me thinking you'd be running from a cave in Ayrshire .

[Halifax Citadel National Historic Site]
[The Restoration of the Citadel – An Armed Camp]
When somebody walks in here they can tell the difference between this place and a theme park.
The fourth fort to be built here, one of the last great bastion forts to be built anywhere in the world.
[Black and white aerial view of the fort]
So when this fort was built it was the cutting edge of technology.
[Wall made of stone]
Halifax was so well defended that the enemy knew that he has no chance to take it.
It's real wood, it's real stone, it's real brick, it's even made the same way it was back when it was built the first time in the 1800s.
[View of the fort. Stone being split apart. View of the fort]
So it was quite exciting to kind of bring it back to life.
[Image of a building. People walking on the grounds of the fort. Guard walking. View of the fort]
Every year thousands of visitors arrive at Halifax's Citadel to experience a national historic site that stands sentry to Canada's past. A fort that is always ready to protect and defend, that looms steadfast seemingly ageless except looks can be deceivi
[Black and white photos of the fort in need of repair]
Not long ago, the great fortress was all but forgotten, its thick walls collapsing, its battlements crumbling.
The army gave this place up in 1951 and it sort of went into a caretaker mode. Masonry walls over time began to disintegrate and so it was in need of significant work.
Foundation sunk in unstable soil rather than firm bedrock, walls that heaved and buckled from Halifax's freeze and thaw cycle, mistakes by the original designers and builders had been worsened by time and neglect.
[Black and white photos of the wall sinking in soil]
It was used for a number of museums and the Citadel really isn't a museum it's a monument, it just needed that attention.
[Black and white photo of the fort]
That necessary attention came from a sweeping 1950s government report on the state of the arts and sciences in Canada.
[Black and white photo of the fort. Fort wall being held up by wooden planks ]
There is a recommendation that the government of Canada should restore the Halifax Citadel and should reconstruct the fortress of Louisbourg.
[Write-up about the government's recommendation]
Historians were sent to archives all over the world to find the original documentation associated with the Halifax Citadel.
[Black and white photos of archived documentation]
You have an enormous number of very dedicated, highly skilled, highly trained engineers, draftsmen, historians.
We were called as found recorders, we were told to record the entire Halifax Citadel and when inside the casemates, recorded the casemates, locations of fireplaces, windows, doors, profiles of the arches. Recording was done accurately so that we could pu
[Black and white photos of the fort. Photos of numbered stones]
As they pieced together the puzzle, structural engineers took the first tentative steps in rebuilding the fortress. Most of the time it was just hard, painstaking work done with an artisan's pride and an artist's touch.
[Numbered stones]
The masons that we had here were master masons, they basically had the same skill sets and the knowledge and understanding as the people that built the fort in the 19th century.
[Masons working on a wall]
I know the stone mason in particular, a man named Charlie Mosher he cut many of the stones that needed to be cut.
He feathered a stone just so beautifully, I watched him put the feathers in, they're metal clips like the top of a fleur-de-lys and you drive a spike through the center and as you drive it down, tap-tap-tap. Suddenly the stones splits along the line of t
[Mason splitting a stone]
And when you look at some details of the arches, see each stone was carved exactly for the place. This is granite. This stone is here for 150 years and it looks almost new.
[Arches made of stone]
Authenticity demanded unwavering attention to the smallest detail. The Douglas fir used for the fortress signal mast had to come all the way from British Columbia. The hand lettering over doors had to be the right size and style. Long ago formulas were
[View of the walls from inside the fort. Signal mast. Hand lettering over doors. Images of various doors. People walking on the grounds of the fort]
Perfection, alas, isn't always possible. Sometimes the engineers and architects couldn't deliver exactly what the historians and archaeologists demanded.
[An engineer wearing a hard hat. Men working on a wall]
We tended to lead in the direction of authenticity and we wanted to make sure that we were doing things as authentic as possible but of course things like public safety, costs, engineering concerns also enter into the equation.
When we started the restoration process, the regional director came to me and he told me in my ear David, your biggest enemy is water.
[Men working on a wall. Black and white photo of a wall]
Groundwater as it comes into a fortified work it will get in-between the masonry, turn to ice and expand so it leads to fissures and cracks.
[Black and white photo of a wall with numbered stones]
We decided that we would build it, reinforce concrete foundation so it will last a hundred years. This way you have much less maintenance and you don't, it doesn't fall apart.
[Concrete foundation]
Sometimes only a vivid imagination can find solutions. When the weight of the walls threatened to collapse the leaking casement roofs, Styrofoam was inserted to lighten the load.
[Reconstruction of the fort. Roof and Styrofoam blocks]
In the construction of the ramparts which were earth at the time, one of the challenges that we faced was that that put tremendous strain on the walls.
[Ramparts. Men working on a wall]
We have concrete then we have Styrofoam, then we have three feet or four feet of earth and it was very stable.
[Image of Styrofoam blocks]
This was viewed as a reasonable compromise by those historians and engineers. Authenticity after all is at the cull of the rebuilding process. Throughout the Citadel's restoration this underlying commitment never wavered. That Parks Canada learned from
[Various shots of the reconstruction. Cannons. Grass growing on the ramparts]
We let the grass grow rather than mow it, it's better for the established protection of the bastions and we like the look rather than the manicured look.
We have a door and window program and Alan Durdle our carpenter he takes care of implementing that. He has a shop completely set up to do doors and windows. Alan can build a far better quality door than what we can buy.
[Walls, doors and windows. Alan Durdle working in his shop]
There are over 750 doors and windows on site and I don't even believe I got to see them all put; I know I worked on a large number of them. Parks Canada has researched all the doors and window types on site and have compiled them together here in a set of drawings.
The window I'm working on right now is a type A window; it's one of the last old windows that are around. As you see the condition the shape that it's in, it's ready for replacement. It makes me very proud to be able to work on reconstruction of the Citadel here, being able to work on period doors and windows, you can't ask for anything better.

[Alan Durdle working in his shop. Various views of doors. Drawings of doors. Alan Durdle showing wood chips from an old window or door. New window]
The craftsmen that come to work on the fort they take pride in their work and it shows.
Artisans using time honoured skills continue to shore up the massive walls as they've done for more than 250 years.
[Worker splitting a stone]
As you can see the boys are restoring the fort walls so the process would be to number and record the stones, take them down, get things prepared and ready for them to be rebuilt and then each stone would go back exactly where it was before as it was originally.
The techniques of lifting the stones that we would use Lewis pins and dull pins which is what originally would have been used. The very proud of the work I've done here at the Citadel especially because it's British heritage as well.
Restoration is an ongoing effort so with Parks Canada's leadership the process continues. It's not rocket science, it's putting mortar and stone together to form a wall except somehow it becomes much more.
The reconstruction of these forts maintain the direct link of our history to our every day lives so our heritage isn't something that's merely bricks and mortar and guns and things like that, it's the story that those things encapsulate and tell us.
[Various views of the fort. Cannons]
And if these good old stones could talk, they could tell a lot of stories about how this country was built. This is a living breathing monument that has an association with Canadians of all generations.
I believe firmly that authenticity does matter and that it is part of what draws people to places like this. They know that they're gonna be able to touch history in a real way.
[Wall made of stone. People walking on the grounds of the fort]
There's two people anywhere in the world that could compare with the work and the dedication that goes into the restoration of this fort and others around the country.
[View of a fort wall]
A famous writer once said the past is never dead. It's not even passed. By ensuring the Citadel's legacy Parks Canada isn't just preserving our past, it is enriching our future.

I had such good luck with gluttenboy's long fermentation I decided to start on one using local yeast. If I am using that 9% preferment what is a good percentage of the flour and water I should mix that with before making the final dough? Or should I mix the dough as normal except add the preferment to the rest of the flour and water when mixing the dough?
Does anyone have any experiences making natural yeast dough with a fridge/counter fermentation that worked well for them. Possibly an old thread that you could post or current thoughts?

100% combed and ring-spun cotton is finer, smoother, stronger and knit consistently.
Ring-spun vs. Regular Cotton
The interesting thing about this is that if you took a certain amount of cotton fiber and created the regular cotton material, and then took that same amount of cotton fiber and created it under the Ring-Spun process, because of the twisting and thinning the Ring-spun cotton would be a lighter weight than the regular cotton. Therefore, even though a 100% (basic) cotton t-shirt may be heavier than a 100% Ring-Spun cotton tee-shirt, the lighter weight Ring-Spun tee-shirt will be far more durable and softer than that basic cotton t-shirt.

Martinez Companon y Bujanda, Trujillo de Peru (Madrid: Ediciones Cultura Hispanica, 1978-1994;facsimile reproduction of manuscripts in the Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid), vol. 2, plate E141
Drawing identified as "Danza de Negras" shows two black men playing a drum (one end of which is being held by a boy) and guitar, a third is observing and smoking a long-stemmed pipe; another boy and girl are in the scene. All are fully clothed, the men and boys wearing conical caps. This and hundreds of other drawings were done by unidentifed Indians during the 1780s and were commissioned by the Spanish Bishop Baltazar Jaime Martinez Companon during his pastoral visit to the region of Trujillo in northern Peru. The drawings, spread over nine volumes, are of Spaniards, Indians, plants and animals, as well plans and maps of the region. Only Vol. 2 contains a few pictures of blacks, the index to the volume giving very sparse information on each drawing. (See other images Trujillo on this website.)

Skip to comments.Weiner Sext Pal He Was A Needy Little Bitch,
Posted on 07/30/2013 5:18:42 PM PDT by Impala64ssa
Wannabe Mayor Weiner is too sex obsessed to be mayor, according to his latest virtual gal pal.
In a raunchy tell-all interview with Howard Stern, Anthony Weiners former virtual gal pal Sydney Leathers says the peter-tweeting poll used to call her up to five times a day and almost every day to have phone sex. And that still wasnt enough!
He could have 12 girls talking to him, beating off 15 times a day and that wouldnt be enough, Leathers said. You would think his dk would hurt by the end of it.
Leathers questioned if Weiners obsession with sex would give him time to govern if he became mayor.
How are you going to be mayor of New York City if youre cing five times a day? she asked.
Leathers recalled Weiner as the wham-bam-thank-you-maam type, saying he would make small talk but then abruptly told her to take off her clothes off.
Weiner really got off when Leathers stroked his ego.
He was just this needy little bitch. He needs his ego stroked, thats the problem, she said.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns.
She is really ripping him a new one.
Already posted under original NY Post title as required by the forum rules.
Narcissistic, elitist, weirdo. Yup. Weiner is a typical liberal.
It's her problem as well. Wish the tramp would just go away as her 15 min. have long since expired.
This gal is a real lady.
If her vagina is as filthy as her mouth no telling what diseases it has.
Yeah, I was thinking that the kettle was calling the pot black.
Yeah, I was thinking that the kettle was calling the pot black.
Truly, 'tis Christmas in July!!!
I think I need a shower after reading that..
Guessing these horndog government figures getting caught in scandal are the tip of the iceberg. Lust for power and other lusts are tied together.
Weiner having his "ego" (that's its name now?) stroked by a woman named "Leathers"?
Can't wait for the movie to cum out.
If "needy little bitch" is anything like "crazed sex poodle", I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

If you have cyber-sex with her, do you have to run Norton Anti-virus afterward?
Jewish kids from NYC.
Any relation?
Is he her Daddy?
Pics of this girl remind me of my new pet peeve.
I'm 40. I played college sports, but not division 1. I'm not my skinniest, but I have been in the same 12 pound range since college.
I went to a trendy young person bar in Atlanta with my wife and another couple recently.
I was shocked and disgusted by the percentage of young women who were overweight and flaunting it. I don't mean a little drinking pudge. I mean, let's drink ourselves silly, then get 10 gordita supremes 5 times a week.
I wonder if it is because so much "dating" is virtual and limited to text and FaceTime.
The guys at the bar were the way I remember in terms of distribution among muscular, thin, fat, pudgy.
But the young girls were scary. Now that I have noticed it, I see it everywhere. In fact, I took my daughter to a swim meet, and there were nearly obese teenage swimmer girls. Swimmers!
This Leathers girl is clearly in the new demographic. Young, big and proud.
Perhaps she and the Weiner will sing a duet of Monty Python's "Medical Love Song" when this is over...
Take a lot of hormones to stave of pregnancy and get heavy?
Weiner is unstable, it shows on his face.
I suspect it's because they've drunk the kool-aid that women are almost the same as men with the exception of a few unimportant body parts.
Therefore they eat man-sized meals in woman-sized frames.
Wouldn't want to feel inferior by doing anything less than a man, even something biological laws say you shouldn't do such as eating as much. Liberalism triumphs biology.
Just a thought I've had in the past.
Horshack: "Welcome Back Cotter", without his talent.
Does anyone know if Weiner and Michael Savage are related? Michael's real name is Weiner, both are from NY, and both are Jewish.
Just wondering............
I have no doubt he would try to "textingly" convince her he was.
I grew up at a swimming meca prep school. Swimmers tend to be muscular. There is a difference.
All the long distance ones I have seen were pudges with powerful muscles.
the thing that amazes me is that weiner is a carbon copy of portnoy from the book portnoys complaint.
"Flaunting" is the operative word. When I was in college, the fat chicks knew how to make themselves look attractive with the way they dressed and groomed themselves. Now they go out in public with their multi-mega-muffin tops oozing out between their tight fitting stretch pants and tops. (Don't these women own mirrors?!)
You kidding? Give her 15 hours. I want to hear all about Weiner, Huma and their closest friends.
Naah, high school Weiner looks like a young Janis Ian.
This brought to mind a quote:
"If anyone says that sex, in itself, is bad, Christianity contradicts him at once. But, of course, when people say, Sex is nothing to be ashamed of, they may mean the state into which the sexual instinct has now got is nothing to be ashamed of. If they mean that, I think they are wrong. I think it is everything to be ashamed of. There is nothing to be ashamed of in enjoying your food: there would be everything to be ashamed of if half the world made food the main interest of their lives and spent their time looking at pictures of food and dribbling and smacking their lips." -C.S. Lewis
Thanks Impala64ssa.
If she starts doing porn she won't have to make up a porn star name.
Yes, he is very unstable. He's done. No use to the Clinton's/Huma anymore. He'll drop out of the race soon, and not long after Huma and the turkey baster child will go into hiding...then resume with Hillary.
Poor Weiner Dog. He'll really be "at it" with all the pressure. We'll hear more about his hijinks. Or...maybe just off to re-hab...then on to his new show at MSNBC.
Train wreck ahead!
Hey, you are right about Portnoy.
Wonder if Weiner also has a freckle on his schmeckel? (sp?)
I'm sure that Savage lives up to the root of his name then - wein - wine.
The thing that amazes me is that he is married to a lesbian and it's never mentioned.
She talks like a lesbian.

The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography welcomes submissions of original research or interpretation concerning the social, cultural, political, economic, and ethnic history of Pennsylvania, or work situating Pennsylvania history within comparative regional or international contexts. We are always interested in essays that use art, architecture, material culture, oral history, and other nondocumentary sources. We are also particularly interested in essays developed from research in our own collections. Authors are encouraged to discuss their essays with the editor before submitting them.
We expect that no essay submitted to us has simultaneously been submitted elsewhere. All submissions should be based on original research or new interpretations, and should reflect the highest standards of scholarship.
Authors should submit manuscripts electronically. Please send submissions in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect for Windows to the editor as an attachment to email.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced, with footnotes inserted as reference in the same file. Please use the Chicago Manual of Style, but we also recommend referring to a recent issue of PMHB because we depart from Chicago style in some particulars. For example, we do not use the names of publishers in notes nor do we use p. or pp. for page numbers.
Manuscripts should be no longer than thirty-five pages, including notes (which should also be double spaced). Tables should be in vertical page format. Although we can print tables and images longwise, we would prefer that the reader not have to turn the magazine on its side. A limited number of halftones may be used if the images are essential to the text and of publishable quality. Images from respositories other that HSP must be obtained by the author. Digital TIFF files must be at least 300 dpi at print size. Securing permission to publish from the repository and the copyright holder is the responsibility of the author.
The editor provides the first screening of all manuscripts. Promising manuscripts are sent out for peer review by at least two readers. This process takes anywhere from six weeks to three months, occasionally longer. Reviewers' reports will be shared with authors and revisions requested where appropriate.

August 26, 2013 marked the first day of school for Chicago Public Schools, and Garrett Popcorn helped celebrate the fun and calm those first day jitters by surprising one lucky school with a special treat! Our Garrett crew spent the day at Altgeld Elementary, handing out complimentary bags of our Chicago Mix to children after lunch.
Altgeld Elementary is located in the Englewood community of Chicago and has approximately 700 students that range from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. The school recently doubled in size this year and added several new programs when it merged with Wentworth Elementary, and Garrett teamed up with Principal Dina Everage and her staff to welcome new and returning students in a fun-filled way. Said Principal Everage:
It is important for us to keep a positive culture for the students here at Altgeld. When the students have fun surprises and events to get them excited, it helps increase their desire to learn, and that's what we're all about. We are really looking forward to a great school year!"
The afternoon was a great success, brimming with smiles and laughter as the children received their Chicago Mix. Check out a few more photos below, and good luck to all those participating in the new 2013/2014 school year everywhere!

Via the Urban Dictionary:
Capturing something powerful and elusive and then being able to hold it and show it to the world.
Performing a rare feat.
A moment of creative brilliance.
Wouldn't you love to capture Lightning in a Bottle? I sure would.
Speaking of lightning… We don't often have thunderstorms. Our area of Northern California is, unfortunately, spared the fireworks. I say unfortunately because I'm from Iowa where we have huge-ass (Tim) thunderstorms. I can't tell you how many nights I watched out my bedroom window, enthralled by the lightning, awed by the thunder.
The other night I was awakened at 3 a.m. by a bright flash of lightning. A few seconds later hubby was awakened by a crash of thunder. It was brilliant. Unfortunately that was all we got. Pity.
However, that same night, my cousin in Nebraska called to tell me that in the midst of a raging blizzard they had lightning and thunder. Life imitates art.
In the Flesh, the second book in my Soul Series, is all about the magic contained in lightning in a blizzard.
Lightning in a bottle. I wish!

Latest BS Report, listened to the first half on my walk home. Abso-freaking-lutely outstanding. Klosterman is, as always just a great person to listen to as he can rattle on in the intellectual yet somewhat esoteric way of his about anything.
Highlights from the first half include:
Klosterman's new book which I already planned on reading (it hits on the 90s for you loser gen xers and fake gen xers like JB)
Shaq and Kobe
The Beattles as followup to this very good piece by Klosterman: http://www.avclub.com/articles/chuck-kl ... les,32560/
Shaq and Nash
The Cavs
Jordan's induction speech
How Simmons feels about C-town not getting much mention in the 30 for 30 doc
The history channel and 3 shots heard round the world
Fantastic 45 minutes, really jacked up to listen to part 2 tomorrow. Turn off that steaming pile of sound coming from KNR for an hour and a half and give it a listen.

Topic: Writing Ruby Methods - How are they like PHP functions?
As I get more into rails I realize the need to learn more about Ruby. I've been going through the ruby docs and I've got a handle on a lot of the various class methods available.
However, when it comes to writing my own methods in my Rails models I'm a bit confused.
The first thing that I'm confused with is the following syntax.
def my_function=(arg)
puts arg
What's the significance of the =() part. Why do I need the = sign?
In PHP if I wanted to create a function that could handle multiple arguments I would do something like:
function my_function($arg1, $arg2, $arg3){
echo "$arg1, $arg2, $arg3";
Does the same work in ruby?
def my_function=(arg1, arg2, arg3)
puts arg1
puts arg2
puts arg3
Finally, in PHP if I want to have an optional argument, or an argument in a functiont that if not specified when the function is called will use a default value I would use:
function my_function($default="blue"){
echo $default; // blue

WoW PvP: A Story Of Three Classes
Although I've yet to hit level 80 with any of my characters in World of Warcraft (one day soon, I promise) and thus things may change when I do and encounter the Übermensch that awaits, I've been enjoying the sanitised PvP of Battlegrounds tremendously. In fact, aside from power-leveling my brother, the Esquire of Noob Town, it's where I can be found spending most of my hours these days.
I've been leveling up three characters almost completely through Battlegrounds and here are my thoughts.
I'm regretting spending everything I had on dual speccing my Warrior at level 40 for the sole purpose of PvP. I've been leveling him up as Protection and, after blowing 1k to get an Arms spec for player vs player combat, I discovered that I much prefer Prot for Battlegrounds too. Doh. Oh well, at least I have a spare tree for trying that out new Unrelenting Assault tanking spec I've heard so much about.
I think the reason I enjoy Warrior Prot PvP so much is because it fits right in with my preferred style of play: charge into the thick of things and try to inflict as much damage as I can before I eventually get taken down (something about the glory of being a martyr really appeals to me… boy, I hope my psychiatrist isn't reading this). Protection not only gives me that necessary survivability but it also gives a lot more control abilities like silence on my Shield Bash and stuns on Concussion Blow and Shockwave plus I don't need to worry too much about stance dancing, a tactic which is far too subtle for the likes of me. Overall, the Warrior is my perfect match.
My Priest is an old character I've had since the start of last year and used to PvP constantly with when he was leveling up. Now well on his way to level 60, I've dusted him off for some further Battleground romping and it's proving to be jolly good fun again. I have two equally potent PvP specs, one Shadow and one Discipline, each offering a very different playstyle. I find Discipline is better for when I'm in the lower level range of a BG as I can just follow the pack around, bubbling and healing everyone constantly and occasionally throwing out the odd DoT to rake in a massive amount of honour.
For a class that appeals so little to me in PvE, I find the Priest surprisingly fun in PvP, a good counter-balance to the melee intensive Warrior and one that has plenty of style and originality. Perhaps I was an exorcist in a previous life because I can't help but get a thrill out of roleplaying a bible-bashing nut-job, out to cleanse the face of Alterac Valley.
Oh God, I detest Mage PvP, I really do. Maybe things will improve once I get into the higher levels but right now, at level 50, it's utterly appalling and I can completely appreciate why Mages have a reputation for being the worst class at PvP in the game. My entire experience with the class has been hit and miss as I love the AoE insanity of dungeons (and flaunting DPS meter results in my friend's faces) yet hate the snooze-fest that is Frostbolt-Frostbolt-Frostbolt solo PvE.
I was expecting good things in PvP from the Mage but unfortunately it has not delivered as I die tremendously quickly and have trouble putting out any decent damage. Of course, the class doesn't lend itself to my "rush into the centre of the mayhem" playstyle so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I'll give PvP another shot again once I've gained a few levels but, until then, I'll be sticking to dungeon groups and cracking other Mage's skulls with my Warrior.
Finding The Balance
If this triple-PvP experience has really taught me anything it's how much better suited to PvP some of the class are than other and also, in most regards, how much Blizzard strive to try and perform the delicate act of keeping them all in balance for both PvE and PvP, a task which seems contradictory to me and almost impossible. I do wonder if they would be better off doing what SOE did in EQ2 and implement completely separate functionality for spells and abilities depending on the situation they are used it. It would make the devs job a whole lot easier and allow every class to gain a more even footing in both situations.

Topic: Problem using TextMate
I have a project in ruby. When i run the project on windows (Netbeans) it runs fine, but when i try to run the same application on Mac using TextMate, it throws me an error "MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- app/controllers/application". I verified that the file is very much there.
I then created a new project from scratch but again the same problem. One thing, i'm currently using trial version of TextMate.
Can anyone help me regarding this?

Wolf Aviation Fund wants your great general aviation ideasWednesday, November 14th, 2012
Each year the Wolf Aviation Fund provides grants for a number of individuals and organizations doing great work in general aviation. The fund has made more than 330 awards,which have allowed worthy recipients the funding and recognition for their ideas.
The deadline to apply for grants in 2013 is Dec. 15. The fund seeks applications in seven major program areas: Developing Public Policy and Airports; Networking and Mutual Support; Development and Alternative Resources; Communications, Media, and Community Relations; General Aviation Technology, Safety, and Noise; Improving Public Understanding and Perception; and Aviation and Space Education.
Past winners include:
- Doug Stewart of the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE), Inc., who received a grant to form a new Aviation Educator Hall of Fame to recognize those having made significant contributions to aviation education;
- The Atlantic Aviators Chapter of Women in Aviation International, which is building a custom-designed, aviation-themed playground at New Bedford Regional Airport in Massachusetts.
- Penny Rafferty Hamilton, Ph.D., who will research, write, and publish a Flight Instructor Communication Manual presenting proven and effective communication techniques for providing instruction to women wishing to be involved in General Aviation;
- Teachers' Day at AirVenture 2012, an event organized by Build a Plane's Lyn Freeman designed to educate teachers how to use aviation in the classroom to motivate students to learn STEM subjects;
- John Zapp of the Flying Musicians Association, who received a grant to organize career fairs and related events supporting the Association's objectives; and
- Flying High Coffee received a grant to support bringing its high quality product to the marketplace, with a portion of the proceeds being set aside to fund worthy non-profit aviation organizations.
Most proposals receive partial financial support because the Wolf Aviation Fund believes recipients can use the honor and recognition that comes from a grant to approach others and seek additional funding. The fund also seeks donations in order to award more grants.

September 9, 2013 the North Korean National Day.This day every year the Korean people were allowed to boat trip the Yalu River,here is the border between China and North Korea,They looked prosperous China with the complex mood.
Recently , I have to wait and look forward to this moment,I finally reached this goal after the half of five years.5000 images online.
I believe I will persevere here,because DT brings me more joys in life,because there are a lot of my friends here,I had learned more from them,this is my greatest harvest on DT.
Thanks a lot for DT!
Thanks a lot for buyers!
Thanks a lot for my friends here!
Autumn is the best season in Beijing,I went to the outskirts to enjoy the autumnal scenery a few days ago.
I have done a shooting plan,I am looking forward to have a harvest in October.
I had been to North Korea last year, I was lucky to come this mysterious country once more this year. I discovered that North Korea is also changing, even if is the very small change. For example, North korean girls pay more attention to dress, Pyongyang girls dress style and color is diverse. Because of North Korean rejection any commercial advertizing, there is not any commercial advertizing on Pyongyang's street,but it is really convenient for shooting:)
I had gone to some places in North Korea,I shot a lot of images, I left a deep impression there,I had added some images to my collection,although not all the images I had taken in North Korea,but it has involved North...
Western Valentine's Day in China, although not a traditional Chinese festival, but have been accepted by more and more Chinese young people.
Although we are still enjoying the Lunar New Year holidays in China,but young people have been talking about Valentine's Day.However, I thought that happiest definitely is the product sellers, Chinese lunar new year's sales busy season might continue to the valentine day:) February 14, we'll look forward to this romantic day.
Although there is no Christmas holidays in China,but the Chinese New Year will soon come.
We will have 7 days holiday,Feb. 2 will be Chinese zodiac of rabbit year. It'll be the most important festival in China,I wish you'll have more more sales in Chinese rabbit year.
Happy Chinese Year of the Rabbit!
Time flies,I just found I had to DT for three years.I learned a lot here, there are a lot of harvest and happiness.
I have 4,553 online, there are 4,748 sales.but I know compared with some friends, this is not a very good achievement, I will continue making great efforts.
Time flies, Beijing has entered the fall. Here ushered the most beautiful season of the year.In October, we'll have a week's vacation here,I have prepared a lot of shooting plan.
At this moment, I am looking forward to the early arrival of holiday ...
I like the car models, especially BMW car models,I have collected some BMW car models,they are the best carrier of car culture.
BMW cars in the development process, created their own culture, and automotive appearance design, technical features, historical background, etc.
Perhaps one day, I really have a BMW, this is one of my goals.
Although July is my worst month in this year,I am not very ideal in revenue and sale.But it has not hindered me to achieve a new milestone in August.I hope that August will bring me good luck.
Thanks a lot for DT team and all the buyers.
