The Republican Obsession With Obstructing Obama is Endangering the Country
The Republican Obsession With Obstructing Obama is Endangering the Country By: Rmuse November 30th, 2012 snip// There are signs that some Republicans realize the election was a repudiation of Republicans and their persistent obstructionism and refusal to help all Americans, but the majority are still of the mindset that preventing economic progress will make President Obama a one-term President. The Republican hatred of President Obama transcends economic policy and permeates their entire reason for living. The recent statements by some Senate Republicans that they will not confirm anyone the President nominates to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State has nothing to do with the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans and everything to do obstructing President Obama. Their opposition to any Administration proposal is not founded in sound economic or foreign policies, but their insane obsession with preventing the President from working for the American people. Last years S&P report was correct in its appraisal that Republicans have made governance less stable, less effective, and less predictable, and one may have thought the election signaled that their intransigence on balanced deficit reduction was not acceptable, but they learned nothing whatsoever. In fact, they immediately trotted out Willard Romneys tax plan, made Paul Ryan point-man on fiscal cliff negotiations, and assailed the President for not putting the Affordable Care Act on the table as a means of deficit reduction; anything to prevent raising tax rates on the wealthiest 2% of income earners. Their obsession with protecting the rich is more than just a form of mental illness; it is hazardous to this countrys economic health the American people cannot survive as long as they continue making governance less stable and effective. President Obama gave Republicans a proposal that cuts the deficit, cuts spending, creates jobs through infrastructure improvements, and preserves tax cuts for 98% of the population and 97% of small businesses. Republicans countered with Romneys austerity plan and greater tax cuts for the wealthy, and they show no signs of relenting despite the looming fiscal cliff. Americans cannot tolerate another four years of Republican obstructionism just to benefit 2% of the population, or Draconian cuts to social safety nets that tens-of-millions of Americans depend on for basic survival. It has come to the point that Republicans are not doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, because they are doing the same thing they have for the past four years and expect the same results of making governance impossible, and unfortunately for America, their insane obsession with obstructing the President is a danger to economic recovery and 98% of the population.

1. Nice summation of last weeks events that pertain to the budget/deficit negotiations.
... Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner presented President Obama's proposal for avoiding the fiscal cliff Republicans voted for last year, and Republicans dismissed it with extreme prejudice because it is not austerity with more tax cuts for the rich. The President's proposal adheres to the kind of broad framework of the deal Boehner wants with an upfront deficit-reduction "down payment" that cancels automatic tax increases and spending cuts while still signaling seriousness on the deficit, and a second stage giving Congress the opportunity to work on overhauling the tax code and social programs to secure more deficit reduction next year. Still, it does not include reducing taxes on wealthy and corporations' while drastically cutting social safety nets and spending on infrastructure. Boehner said, "The Democrats have yet to get serious about real spending cuts," and that "no substantive progress has been made in the talks between the White House and the House over the last two weeks. Listen, this is not a game, jobs are on the line, the American economy is on the line. And this is a moment for adult leadership." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "They took a step backward, moving away from consensus and significantly closer to the cliff," which is simple code for not proposing severe austerity to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy that, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), will not reduce the deficit. In the CBO's Budget and Economic Outlook for Fiscal Years 2012 2022, it says if Bush-era tax cuts are allowed to expire at the end of the year, then the projected deficit will shrink from $1.1 trillion to $196 billion; an 82% reduction over the next six years. As a result, an increase in tax revenues combined with spending cuts will nearly halve the deficit in 2013, reducing it to $585 billion. They also claim that because the Bush-era tax cuts were never paid for, they will remain 60% of the deficit through 2019 because the country is still paying on borrowed money to benefit the wealthy. The Republican Obsession With Obstructing Obama is Endangering the Country The proposal presented to the republicans by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as we know it: READ: The White House's fiscal cliff proposal This bears loud repeating - Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "They took a step backward, moving away from consensus and significantly closer to the cliff," which is simple code for not proposing severe austerity to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy that, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), will not reduce the deficit. Rather than propose anything that would immediately be recognized for what it is, (tax giveaways to the rich and imposed austerity to everyone else) McConnell and his spawn simply spew rhetoric and sit back and begin a game of chicken waiting for President Obama to begin negotiating with himself. Not this time mcc0nnell. We are sick of being forced to walk the plank by you bastards. And it's you and your pretend patrician cronies who will appear as intractable obstructionists when the peoples work fails to get done. |

4. "Real Spending Cuts" Have Already Taken Place
The deficit last year was reduced by $200 billion and that was all on the spending side. The comments by both Boehner and McConnell are mostly false. And Sunday talk will attempt to place the blame on Obama. Oh, I just turned on Candy Crowley of CNN and she is blaming Obama -- duh.

16. Two Years
Can we afford two years? Election cycles for Congress, the WHOLE house run in two year cycles. Start working on 2014, pass filibuster reform, get some good candidates, pass things huge majorities of Americans want, and protect SS, medicare, and medicaid, that huge Americans on both sides want left along, and let them languish. Point out frequently, through every democrat that goes on television that bills are sitting there, waiting to be passed over republicans resistance. Then actually run 2014 like a campaign, rather than quietly ignoring it. A full third of our congress gets elected each time.
Like you, most have ignored this, and we need to start paying attention. Obama needs help, and a third of it gets elected each two years in an election ,in which, we all need to be sure to vote for Democrats. |

30. Lets domore than that
First lets get rid of gerrymandering. This is the reason why republicans kept their majority in the House. We lost on this issue in Ohio as so many had their attention on Obama. Now we have started again at the grass roots level. We will collect the signatures to get the issue on the ballot. We will answer valid questions previously raised by republicans, we will organize and conduct an education campaign, and we will get out the vote. In this manner we will elect many more democratic House members from Ohio to help Obama. Others will do the same in their states giving democrats control of both Houses in 2014.
We also intend to organize progressive movements to get Obama to do what he can for the people without Congressional approval. Lets get moving. |

46. Pennsylvanian here.
There have been a lot of good candidates for the "gerrymander of the decade" award this cycle. North Carolina, Illinois and Texas have all dreamed up district lines that have gone well beyond what many pundits believed could be pulled off in those states. Honorable mentions go to Massachusetts and Maryland, whose districts combine to allow for the election of one Republican out of 17 districts.
But the legislators in all those states were making heavily Democratic/Republican delegations in states that were likewise heavily Democratic/Republican. That isnt a tremendous job. Republicans in Pennsylvania, however, took a state that is two or three points more Democratic than the country as a whole, and created 12 districts (out of 18) that are more Republican than the country as a whole. They did so by creating what can only be called a group of Rorschach-inkblot districts in southeastern Pennsylvania. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/12/14/in_pennsylvania_the_gerrymander_of_the_decade_112404.html |

2. While True, This Fails To Address What Drives The Hatred For President Obama
Romney's co-chairman, John Sununu, never missed an opportunity to make blatantly racist comments. Romney played the Nixon southern strategy to the hilt. One problem, the demographics have changed enough that that strategy can no longer produce enough angry white men, even with massive voter suppression measures in hand. Think not, Christian Slater's provisional ballot was tossed because his signature did not match the signature on the registration record for Christina Slater. (I'm not making this stuff up either). Nationwide there were probably over one million provisional ballots cast with most of them tossed and they were probably 70% Democratic. Republicans can't even win in unfair elections where they control the counting. And it was all about their hatred for a black President. That hasn't changed one iota and therein lies the problem.

6. I have
have a slightly different perspective. Most of the white hatred for President Obama does come from the South but there are a lot of wealthy white men that know better, but they use it as race baiting in order to serve their selfish greed. So you do have some middleclass and poor whites voting for Republicans. You also have some in Congress, that is bought and paid for by Wall Street.
These men have used code phrases or words to disquise their Race baiting. They always say cut spending and not paying for what you don't have. They also claim Government is taking your money. Most people see that as good habits, but if you take away the smoke, then you will see they are deceptive. They have always ran away from campaigning on cutting medicare or raising the Social Security age limit, they know they will lose. Think about it, How many of them will tell their constituents in those Red Districts, that they want to cut your Medicare or raise the age limit? Now we have them out in the open and they have to go back to their Districts, and tell poor, middleclass, and older people they meant their entitlements. In other words, we need to make more Profits. That is the Romney way. Yeah, we told you that we will create more jobs, but we really want more profits. So this is America's example of the Taliban. |

3. They
lost eight Republicans in the house, I believe? That is either 201-234 or 201-235. That means you need to find 17 or 18 republicans in the House to break with Boehner. I would target Republicans in Blue States and identify those that win close races in 2010, which will come up in 2014. Go over the cliff and let the tax rates expire. People like Allen West want have a vote. I think if the President keeps everybody energized, We can break this grid lock in his second term and everything will be even better after 2014. Judges are also approved by the Senate which has nothing to do with the House. President Obama should start electing a lot of Judges. The only interest group acting with a Knee jerk reaction is Wall Street. I think they are trying to manipulate the markets in order to make the President get a bad deal favorable to them. Wall street has always wanted to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. See who those representatives ties are to and I think you will find out the Devil in the details. John Boehner is up to his waist in bed with Wall Street and so is Erskine Bowles with that Trojan Horse of his. I'm glad they did throw that garbage out. Bowles is a conservative Democrat from North Carolina. He is also the guy that hired Holden Thorpe for the Chancellor of North Carolina. I wouldn't trust that snake as far as I can throw him. Forget about his ties to Clinton. Rahm Emanuel had ties to Clinton too.

5. The Republicans Are Obsessed by Obstruction. Period
Because change means they lose, whether they actually lose or not.
Because if it wasn't their idea, they won't get any credit when it works; if it doesn't, they can say "We told you so". It isn't always personal. But they love to get two-fers. If they can pick on someone who isn't just like them, they can exercise their prejudices as well as their ignorance and self-interest. Hence the personal edge to their attacks: Susan Rice, Obama, and so forth. They squeal like stuck pigs when the shoes on the other foot. Remember "Borked"? Regardless of the fact that he was evil incarnate... |

21. They would kill us all to get their way
I have personal experience with this. These are haters. They are blinded by their hate. They will harm themselves and their own children and grandchildren and still think they are right.
It's a mental illness. They really hate themselves (which they should considering how they have been treating everyone) and instead project everything that is wrong with them on everyone else. Unfortunately the field of psychology took a hard turn away from examining and healing these emotional dramas in people(not that those people would show up to therapy) and instead started drugging everyone. Instead Psychology today focuses mostly on how to help us become more enthusiastic consumers. I imagine if we were to administer a basic test to the people running the country, the vast majority are sociopaths which really makes one wonder.... Why are we letting these people make decisions for millions of people? They are mentally ill ! They should be institutionalized, not elevated to the highest positions in society. |

This is mental illness.
In my family, my husband and I are their Obama, their Clinton. This is not about us, or the country, this is about a certain group of immature sociopaths that run their lives based on hate and are angry they don't always get their way. God is love, yet these pretend "Christians" base all of their decisions, their entire world view on hate. Bizarre. Maybe all these people needed was to watch Sesame Street when they were young, but they missed out. Perhaps PBS could put out a new Sesame Street type show for adults, to teach them to share, to treat others with kindness-how you would want to be treated, and that we are all different but we all have wonderful gifts to offer....they seemed to have missed some basic lessons on humanity.

Lately, I've been paying special attention to logos and symbols. I don't know why, but the Ubuntu logo caught my eye in a way that I haven't thought of before. Am I reading too much into this, or is there something more behind that friendly logo of ours? 🙂
Comments 9
Two questions:
(1) Why is ubuntu aesthetically so ugly (indeed the ugliest of the three)?
(2) What's the one on the left?
IIRC, the left one is Biohazard.
P.S. Your OpenID login doesn't work.
And so, can You tell us how much Micro$oft paid you to attack the Ubuntu community from the inside? Or they just used Your family as a hostage? 😀
Is this how they try to put pressure on Mark Shuttleworth to sign the evil deal with them?HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just kidding!It is really interestingly similar shapes about the three logos. I hope the third one keeps me passioned about what it represent.
🙂 -
Ubuntu is spreading like a virus thats the meaning!
My response, which of course, digs in to word definitions, and the like.
Oh noes!!1! Ubuntu is a weapon of mass destruction!!!
I think the Kubuntu "gearheads" logo looks better. 😛
I don't like the color scheme in the GNOME breed of Ubuntu.
I just noticed, the ubuntu logo is that of three people holding hands in a cirlce.
It occured to me after i realized each of the dots were a different colour than their respective arc.

AMAZING !!! even my picky eater child (who never eats chicken willingly) chowed down on these !!! We used low fat feta and lean chicken to cut back fat and calories but they were so nummy !!! |
Submitted by: MOM-OF-MANY4 (4/12/10) report inappropriate |
YUM! These taste like meatballs my mom used to make. We will be making these again and again. We used Mediterranean herb fat-free feta, so we should have cut down on the oregano. Still, they were delicious. |

Yummy! I made these today! but instead of chicken I used ground turkey, and i used reduced fat sundried tomato feta!!! Also i added a little olive oil and eggwhites to keep them from getting dry! and No Oregano. I added a little onion powder and tabasco as well. So Yummy!!! Thanks for the great ide |

You can lower the calories etc by using 93% lean turkey or chicken NOT beef. Lower the fat by using fat free feta. Omit the salt. New values approx. 195 cal, 8.1 fat, 535 sodium. Perfect. Thanks for the idea. |

I made my differently and I not use the salt. I would add more chopped bell peppers. |
Submitted by: MINDYH (9/20/07) report inappropriate |
These were very good. I made them with ground turkey, but I'd recommend not using turkey breast. Though it's lower in fat, it's very dry. |

I made this and left the salt out as the cheese provides plenty and used fat free feta and served in a pita with tomatoe and yogurt mixed with chopped mint to make it a little more mediteranian!! Really excellant!! |
Submitted by: ADVNTR1 (7/8/07) report inappropriate |
Very tasty! I also used ground turkey and omitted the salt. I sprayed the forman grill with Pam and served them on whole wheat hamburger rolls with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. My hubby also loved them! |
Submitted by: PARROTHEADS6 (6/14/07) report inappropriate |
WOW!This was the first recipe I tried from this site.I used reduced fat feta.My husband and I loved them. He had his on a bun w/mayo and lettuce. Not watching his weight(of course). I had mine like a steak-on the plate.I was surprised how juicy and tasty they are.This one is a keeper. :) |
Submitted by: ARTERYALERT (6/12/07) report inappropriate |
These were a very tasty change to the grilled burgers and chicken this summer. We did decrease the amount of feta cheese to 4 ounces and didn't add any salt, but the "burgers" sad the wonderful feta taste and great texture. |
Submitted by: STEP-BY-STEP (6/11/07) report inappropriate |
These burgers are great. I did not add the salt or the whole amount of feta. And I used reduced fat feta. Very good. |
Submitted by: TOBIE724 (6/6/07) report inappropriate |
Sounds Great! Cant's wait to try them. I bet you can reduce the fat even more if you extra lean ground turkey instead of chicken. Using reduced fat feta is a good idea MSPENCER79 |
Submitted by: RUSTYKINS (5/31/07) report inappropriate |
I changed it up a bit and used fat free feta cheese - and changed the seasonings to 1/2 T Oregano - 1/2 T dried onions - 1/2 T Chives - (not really fond of Oregano - but wanted some of it in there) these were 5 WW pts instead of 7 WW pts. I tried these again used grnd chicken breast now 3 ww pts |
Submitted by: MSPENCER79 (5/28/07) report inappropriate |
I never believed there could be a substitute for a jucy ground BEEF burger, but this recipe is absolutely delicious and guilt free and best of all, NO BUN NEEDED. Great with fresh tomatos or roasted peppers (try roasting them on the grill w/the berger, mmm). I used low fat feta and no added salt. |
Submitted by: KSCAL1 (5/28/07) report inappropriate |
It sounds tasty, but considering 1 gm of fat equals 9 calories x app. 20 gms of fat equals 180 fat calories. That means more than half this burger is fat and it is high sodium. You don't need added salt with feta cheese. Lean beef is less fatty than ground chicken which usually contains skin, etc. |

Why Extending Copyright Is Bad
I do believe in copyright and I do believe that creators deserve to benefit from their creations. However, very few works of literature remain popular even 20 years after their creation–and the current standard, recently extended by another 20 years, merely prevents legitimate uses, such as this case, where James Joyce's grandson is being pompous little pimple about who is "worthy" to write about his uncle.
The most comprehensive article about Stephen Joyce is The Social Science Research Network's Bloomsday. The most concise story is on the AP. However, as usual, the best read is at The New Yorker (outside link, below).

For over 100 years, the Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America has worked to increase the productivity and profitability of U.S. woodworking machinery and woodworking tools manufacturers and the businesses that support them. Over that time, WMMA® has dedicated itself to the advancement of the U.S. woodworking industry and wood industry, with wood education training, wood industry research, support of woodworking shows, and diverse member programs and services.
The first meeting of the Association was on December 6, 1899.
The minutes from the March 4, 1920 Board meeting of the Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers Association (now WMMA) reveal that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
At the 1920 meeting, the 21 year old association and its members grappled with many of the same issues that WMMA and its members deal with today:
The "Round Robin on Labor Situation" detailed in the minutes reveals that almost 80 years ago, member companies faced many of the same challenges that members deal with today (although the labor rates have changed somewhat!)
WMMA observed its 100th anniversary in 1999 with year-long activities culminating in a centennial celebration in Hawaii.

Mumbai: After launching EMI scheme, Korean electronic giant Samsung is now offering 15 percent cash back on its flagship 'Galaxy' range, as it tries to induce customers to upgrade to high-end phones. Latest News from Business News Desk
"The strong success that we are garnering with zero percent finance-based offers encouraged us to offer the 15 percent cash back offer with Standard Chartered and ICICI Bank," Samsung Vice President (Mobile) Asim Warsi told.
The offer will be valid on Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Tab2 as well as Galaxy Camera, he added.
The company has been promoting its Galaxy smartphone models through finance offers since the beginning of the year, following a similar move by iPhone maker Apple.
Apple saw a strong uptake in the Indian market, following the introduction of EMI scheme. For Samsung, EMI offer helped it more than double its finance-linked sales in January-March period.
Samsung, which has over 43 percent share of the Indian smartphone category, has sold more than one crore Galaxy devices in the country in 2012.
According to CyberMedia Research (CMR), more than 221 million handsets were shipped to India in 2012.
Though smartphones comprised a small chunk of the overall handset market at about 7 percent, the high-end category grew at a robust 35.7 percent to 15.2 million devices in 2012 from 11.2 million units in 2011.
Feature phones sales, on the other hand, grew 19.9 percent to 206.4 million in 2012 from 172.2 million in the previous year.
Samsung was the category leader, followed by Nokia (13.3 percent) and Sony (8.2 percent), CMR said.

BG-J38 Arena Battle
The Legacy Collection Build-A-Droid
Item No.: Asst. 87535 No. n/a
Manufacturer: Hasbro
Number: n/a
Includes: n/a
Action Feature: n/a
Retail: n/a
Availability: Summer 2010
Appearances: Return of the Jedi
Bio: BG-J38 was used to provide entertainment for the Hutt and soon became one of Tatooine's best gamblers. He was unbeaten in almost every game, but never won a match against his master. After Jabba's death at the pit of Carkoon BG-J38 disappered to unknown parts. (Stolen from Wookieepedia.)
Image: Adam Pawlus' desk.
Commentary: I had a hard time remembering the name of BG-J38 until I realized that Lucas' camp would be unlikely to name a background character "BJ," despite the giggles we'd all get out of it. I'm also not at all shy saying that this is one of my absolute favorite sequences to see toys from, as Jabba's palace is freaking packed with awesome robots and creatures and armored dudes and hot chicks. As sequences go, the attempt to one-up the cantina was about as good as set pieces get in the entire saga. It's nice Hasbro gave us so many obscure figures from it, but well, "some" is never enough. We want more, dammit! This one certainly fits the bill of giving us more of what we want, although it's a safe bet most fans won't know what he's supposed to be.
At first glance it's just 8D8 with a new head. At second glance, that's still what it is. Sure, the torso's actually different, but it's all about first impressions. BG-J38 isn't a robot you ever get a good look at and I've only seen images of it from the back. As such, if Hasbro fabricated any of the front of the figure, there's no really obvious way to know this. It's pretty screen-accurate by virtue of the fact we have little reference, and the figure has more articulation than it needs to in order to be a good build-a-droid action figure. Articulated knees and elbows are more than this figure likely deserves and there's something more than a little funny about the notion that 8D8, who actually did stuff and was seen, only had 5 points of articulation. Such is the benefit to waiting for the line to continue, new figures being made today are way, way better than they would have been in 2001. Good things really do come to those who wait, and anyone looking to populate Jabba's dungeon should absolutely run out and pick up this figure by any means necessary. It's not mind-blowing, but it's nice and weird, the perfect filler for any diorama involving a Hutt.
Collector's Notes: This figure shipped with the infamous (and long-delayed) Expanded Universe wave of The Legacy Collection which also was yanked from mass market and given to Toys "R" Us and online stores as a shared exclusive... about six months late. This figure is also notable in that Hasbro often tiptoed around confirming it in their own official Q&As to the point where it was obvious they were dodging the question. But we still love you guys. Thanks for the robot!

From | "Nathaniel Alfred" <Alfred.Nathan...@swx.com> |
Subject | SourceResolver in M3 and symbolic links |
Date | Mon, 07 Jul 2003 20:55:28 GMT |
The latest version of excalibur.source.SourceResolver packaged with Cocoon-2.1m3 normalizes URIs containing "/foo/../bar" to "/bar". At first sight this looks a good idea and is according to RFC 2396. But when dealing with file: URIs foo can be a symbolic link (aka short-cut) such as "foo -> some/where/else". Following filesystem semantics, "/foo/../bar" results in "/some/where/bar". Used with care this can be a powerful feature, which got lost now. (My setup is currently royally screwed due to that.) So is file:/foo/../bar going to stay a URI as per RFC 2396, or shall we have an exception to suppress the "<segment>/.." normalization step for file:. Cheers, Alfred.

I love school carnivals; they're so much fun. You jest, but seriously, I bet you could do some of those random things! Love the outfits as usual. My blogging break didn't last long...I missed my blog and everyone too much. It's a crazy world with so many things going on, but my blog will just have to be a part of it! Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.com
ReplyDeleteMy two lovely birds, gosh I wish I lived near you. Your weekends sound so fun!!! Anyway, I had a really hard time with this one because I have already worn my 3 maxi dresses recently on this blog. You know how we don't like to repeat clothing without enough time in between for people to forget about your outfit? I don't think that I have ever seen the 2 of you in a repeated item. Megan, I love the black blazer over your adorable dress. I know how comfy your outfit is. Thanks for the inspiration, now I need a black blazer. Nora, that Victoria dress is so so pretty on you. What a great color!! Thanks for hosting and who wanted the bisque doll? dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteDay drunk is a favorite of mine as well;) I wish I lived near you and we could all hang out. You both have such fun weekends. I would totally vote for you both;)
Love both of these looks. I don't know why I think I have to take the inspiration pictures so literally each week. I am pulling out my maxi dress and jacket for tomorrow and linking up.
Nora: I am so LOVING your hair!
You both look beautiful, as usual. 1) M, love that dress. Lilies? My favorite! Must borrow. 2) N, you looks so cute. I have been on the hunt for a jean jacket and my long arms are making it super difficult. SO cute on you! 3) Love this post, but it should have been called: Maxi Gyllenhaal, get it? Maxi? Yep. It's time for me to go home and enjoy the sunshine. I'm delirious. xo
ReplyDeleteAwesome dresses! I definitely need to get a maxi on sale or find one at the thrift store. Check out what I did since I didn't have a maxi dress lol.. and two birds productions sounds great!

I don't mind lizards so much, but I'm really not a big fan of snakes. However, as long as the snakes are behind glass, I can at least tolerate them. Over at the San Diego Natural History Museum is an exhibit running through April 3, 2011, called Lizards and Snakes: Alive! Yes, I did go, and yes, the exhibit was well worth it, especially since you pay to get into the Museum, so you also get to see all of their many other exhibits, the permanent displays and the touring exhibits, such as All that Glitters: The Splendor and Science of Gems and Minerals. If you get a little squeamish looking at pictures of lizards and snakes, skip this post and click on All that Glitters to see some beautiful butterflies worth many thousands of dollars. Be forewarned! First up is the hind end of a gecko lizard: The easy way to tell the difference between a milk snake and a coral snake is by the bands. In coral snakes, the yellow band will be the thinnest. In the milk snake, the black band will be the thinnest. Looked at a different way, if the red and yellow bands are separated by a black band, it's a milk snake and you're okay. If the red and yellow bands touch each other, it's a coral snake. Steer clear. Also memorize this little rhyme for coral snakes and the red and yellow bands together: "Red and yellow will kill a fellow." ♪♫♫♫♪ If you're looking for a great real estate agent in San Diego, well, I'm available 24/7, so feel free to contact me by phone or email.

Look at those toes! That little guy was stuck to the glass with those toes, upside down at that. Here is the same litttle guy's head:
This next one is a snake, the cabon viper. Look closely or you'll miss him.
Vipers are venomous snakes and most of them have live young. According to Wikipedia, all vipers have more than 100 young ones at a time. Yoweee! Here is a closer look at the cabon viper's head:
This next one is the red spitting cobra, also a venomous species. It was a very beautiful red, and according to Wikipedia, it actually sprays its venom (I guess that could be called spitting) which, if it gets in your eyes, can cause intense pain and blindness.
Our next one is either a coral snake or a milk snake. Do you know which? I'll tell you after the picture because I didn't know either.
According to Wikipedia, coral snakes have the most potent venom of any North American snake, followed by the Mojave rattlesnake.

Hi Jim,
Love the lizzards, not fond of snakes personally; however, I know many would disagree. Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day at the San Diego History Museum.
Jim, great photos, although not my favorite subject matter. I am not a huge fan of snakes, but I still liked the post. Very well done with good information on the Milk Snake. I was going to make a Geico crack, but it is late, and I can't think of a good one to make!
Thanks for stopping by, everyone.
I'm trying to catch up on my posts to see if anyone had a question or if there are some comments that need a response. If so, I'll respond in a comment below this one.
Also remember that I return comment for comment, so I'll be by your blogs to read and comment soon. I'm exactly 30 days behind right now, but I usually catch up during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so you'll definitely hear from me soon.
And if you need a cat book for Christmas for that special cat person in your life — even yourself if you're your own special cat person in your life! — I can highly recommend "The Cat Lover's Book of Days," by our own ActiveRain Member Peg Silloway. It's a book that you can use year after year, and never get tired of, because there are no years in it, only days. It's great!

Army DNS ROOT Server Down For 18+ Hours 154
An anonymous reader writes "The H-Root server, operated by the US Army Research Lab, spent 18 hours out of the last 48 being a void. Both the RIPE's DNSMON and the h.root-servers.org site show this. How, in this day and age of network engineering, can we even entertain one of the thirteen root servers being unavailable for so long? I mean, the US army doesn't even seem to make the effort to deploy more sites. Look at the other root operators who don't have the backing of the US government money machine. Many of them seem to be able to deploy redundant instances. Even the much-maligned ICANN seems to have managed deploying 11 sites. All these root operators that have only one site need a good swift kick, or maybe they should pass the responsibility to others who are more committed to ensuring the Internet's stability."

Gee that time flew by so quickly, I can hardly believe it... iOS 6 Release Date: Apple Finally Announces Sept. 12th iPhone 5 Event, Expect iOS 6 to Make an Appearance [Photos] | BostInno So next week then? Chas
Anyone remember how iOS 5 was handled? It was announced on a Tuesday or Wednesday but wasn't available for download until when? That Friday?
It was announced and than released that same day if I am not mistaken...but my memory memory may be off. The big day was on a Wednesday and everybody wanted to do their update that day. This forum was extremely busy here. I was not a Moderator yet, but those who were and still are were all very busy. Personally, I tried 3 times to update on the day of release. I finally succeeded, but it was a long process. I assume with this new update it can be done OTA and hoping it will be just as quick as the last 2 updates of 5.01 and 5.1...
I checked it out : Keynote :4/10/11 - Tuesday Release date :12/10/11 - Wednesday Preorder : 7/10/11 - Friday Delivery :14/10/11 - Friday

Bernie Mac brings real life, laughs to television Tuesday, November 13, 2001 By Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV Editor
PASADENA, Calif. -- Bernie Mac likes to talk about Bernie Mac in the third person. That fits "The Bernie Mac Show" just fine.
Mac speaks directly to the camera in his new show's "confessional" scenes. It's just one of the devices that distinguishes this show that's filmed in the more expensive single-camera style (no laugh track, no studio audience).
"I'm not here to talk about cigars," cigar-chomping Mac says in tomorrow night's premiere (8:30 p.m., Fox). "I'm here to tell you: I'm gonna kill them kids ... talk back one more time, snap their neck off."
Sounds harsh, but it's not a literal death threat. Mac, who in the show takes guardianship of his drug-addicted sister's children, is simply frustrated.
"When I say I want to kill those kids, you know what I mean, I don't have to explain," Mac says. "Bernie Mac just says what you wanna say but can't."
Mac is best known for his stand-up comedy, particularly the 2000 concert film "The Kings of Comedy." Other comedians in that film -- Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer -- already have worked in television, but this is Mac's first lead role in a series.
"I wanted to do something different, I wanted to utilize my voice, and I wanted to share my point of view," Mac said at a Fox press conference in July. "That's the whole key to anything: Don't be afraid to fail. And Bernie Mac is not afraid to fail."
Executive producer Larry Wilmore ("The PJs") sought to transform Mac's stage persona into a TV character by removing the most extreme profanity from his stand-up act. Then he spent three days with Mac at his home in Chicago.
"I wanted to get to know who he was, as a guy, more than who the public persona comedian was," Wilmore said. "That's what I wanted the show to be about, who's Bernie Mac, the individual."
The real Mac took in his niece and her daughter in 1994, although in his stand-up act he's melded that story with the tale of a friend who took in a nephew, niece and cousin after the friend's sister got hooked on drugs.
"When I went on stage, I just started talking about it," Mac said. "The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them."
And so the legend of Bernie and his extended family grew until Fox offered him a series based on his partially real-life experiences.
"The Bernie Mac Show" breaks new ground because it comes at a time when comedies with a predominantly African-American cast are usually filmed as three-camera sitcoms. "Bernie Mac" is a high-gloss, single-camera show that relies on comedy rooted in reality instead of the broad humor that gets yuks on "The Parkers" but draws condemnation from some within the black community for perpetuating stereotypes.
"I definitely don't want to look stupid or buffoonish in any kind of way," Mac said. "I want this to be a smart show. I want this to be a fun show. I want people to be able to talk about it when they go to the workplace: 'Did you see 'The Bernie Mac Show' last night? That's what I want to do to my nephew!' "
Mac certainly doesn't see his series as "a black show."
"It's not a black thing," he said. "Everybody can sit there and identify with what we're trying to say."
Mac said his parenting philosophy -- he also has a 23-year-old daughter -- was inspired by his grandfather, who raised him.
"We thought he was so cold," Mac recalled. "I looked at everybody in our family ... and how we all turned out, and it was because of his tough love. He told you like it was. And I think that's something that's missing today. We want to be 'friends' instead of parents.
"We always say, 'I want to give my kid more than I had.' Well, more is not better. I'm going to be a father [figure] to these kids ... and when they're wrong, I'm going to tell them they're wrong. And when they do something right, I'm going to commend them for it."
Wilmore said it was important to him that Bernie be "the mother" on the show. He's certainly the stay-at-home parent as his wife, Wanda (Kellita Smith), goes to work every day as a vice president at AT&T.
"It's important that Bernie emotionally be the mom," Wilmore said. "I had to have a character who was very independent and focused on what she had to do but was not distanced from the kids. It just wasn't her primary responsibility like it was Bernie's because they're his blood."
As for the style of humor, which might rub some viewers the wrong way, Mac says if they're able to get past the language, they'll realize Bernie is not a bad guy.
"Bernie is a chump. Really, his bark is bigger than his bite. You can see he's soft," Mac said. "We're so politically correct, we take things so seriously. It's a joke. I don't want to kill no kids. ... I'm not trying to hurt anybody -- that's the last thing Bernie Mac wants to do. When I go onstage, I want to relieve your mind, your pressures. I talk about things that you only wish you could say. That's what's the success of Bernie Mac, and it's paying off now."

A servant is a person employed to serve the needs and requirements of others, either of the individual person or of a household. A servant is distinct from a slave in that servant's are owed a wage for their services, and is free to leave for another employer, though both may wait on the needs and requirements of others.
The term servant may be used to mean any person employed in the service of others, or as a solely male term, equivalent of maid. A servant in this usage will be as much subject to a master or mistress as a maid.
Within the servant class a whole hierarchy rises, mirroring, and frequently stricter, that of wider society. At the head would be the Butler, Housekeeper and Cook, followed by the ladies maids and valets, attending personally the needs and requirements of a member of the household, then footmen, parlour maids, chamber maids, kitchen maids, down to the newest and youngest members of staff. Woe betide any lower maid or servant attempting to speak directly to the Butler or Housekeeper, or eat with the upper servants. Grooms, chauffeurs, gardeners and gamekeepers had their own separate and partially parallel hierarchy.
Servant discipline
A servant was under the authority of the master or mistress of the house, and lower servants the senior servants. This provided plentiful opportunity for corporal punishment in various forms including spanking, though later years this would generally be seen as an abuse of power. A servant may well submit to such treatment, however, as the alternative would be dismissal without a reference, without which no further employment could not be obtained, resulting often in destitution and poverty.

Artio Partners Provides an Overview of a New IRS Program for Delinquent American ExpatriatesEffective September 1, 2012 American expatriates living abroad who failed to timely file a federal tax return or FBARs (Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) have an opportunity to become compliant with the US tax law.
What are the advantages of this program? ▶ Clear and streamlined process. A low-risk taxpayer has to file only 3 years of expatriate tax returns and 6 years of FBARs to become compliant. ▶ No late filing penalties or fines. Expatriates will not pay any late filing penalties or fines if they are eligible to participate in this streamlined program. ▶ Foreign pension deferral relief. This program provides a retroactive relief for American expatriates with certain foreign pensions who failed to timely elect income deferral per a relevant tax treaty. Who is eligible to participate in this program? This IRS program was specifically introduced to help US expatriates living abroad and dual citizens with a low compliance risk. Each overseas tax return submitted under this program will be reviewed by the IRS to determine a risk level of each taxpayer. IRS will evaluate the risk level based upon the tax return information, presence of any high risk factors and the amount of tax due. Low-risk taxpayers are eligible to participate in this program. Taxpayers without high risk factors and a tax due less than $1,500 in each of the years are considered "low risk" and will be processed in a streamlined way. High-risk taxpayers with more complex tax returns and higher tax due undergo a more detailed review and might be required to file more than three years of tax returns. Which factors are considered to evaluate a risk of taxpayer? Some of the factors that might increase a risk level are the following: ♦ The taxpayer is under investigation by IRS ♦ The taxpayer received the FBAR warning letter ♦ Refund is due after filing a return ♦ The taxpayer has not fully declared all income ♦ Substantial material activity in the USA ♦ Complex tax planning that might suggest tax avoidance Should you hire a CPA to help with this process? IRS will carefully review every expatriate tax return submitted under this program. If you decide to proceed with an expatriate tax professional, make sure to choose a CPA who provides international tax services and specializes in US expat tax planning and preparation for Americans living abroad. International tax experts at Artio Partners will help you participate in this program and become compliant. Our transparent flat fees start from $260. To learn more about our services, please visit http://www.artiopartners.com/ About Artio Partners Artio Partners works with American expatriates living abroad and dual citizens from over 75 countries. We specialize in US expatriate tax preparation, past due expat tax returns and complex international tax issues like FBAR, FATCA, foreign tax credit, foreign real estate, PFIC, foreign adoption and controlled foreign corporations.

The Acura ZDX crossover had only been available in the market for less than four years but it would be dropped from the brand's portfolio after the 2013 model year. Acura had confirmed the discontinuation of the ZDX. It also announced a few minimal modifications to the controversial crossover for the 2013 model year. The ZDX was stripped of its clunky, beak-like grille. Instead, stylists gave it a more slender shape in line with what's used on the new ILX, RDX, and revised TL sedan.
Slight revisions were made to the front and rear bumpers. The interior also gets sports new trim finish and an optional "high-contrast" color scheme. The new ZDX has an amended price/ content structure.
The 2012 model is available in three grades and has a starting price of $47,015 (including destination). Meanwhile, the 2013 ZDX is offered in just one guise and has a base price of $51,815. It is still powered by a 3.7-liter V-6, which is partnered with a six-speed automatic transmission and Acura's signature torque-vectoring SH-AWD all-wheel-drive system.
This may be a price increase but the value has also improved. What are offered as standard equipment are items previously seen on the Technology and Advanced Packages such as perforated Milano leather seating, navigation, a Panasonic ELS surround sound audio system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning systems. The 2012 ZDX increased its sticker price to $57,565, which makes the 2013 ZDX about $6000 more affordable than a 2012 model with similar features.

Lady like inspiration
We've laughed, we've cried, we've ogled gorgeous blouses, vintage jewelry, and knee-length skirts. Lady like week is over, but it will not soon leave my memory. A little dramatic, I know, but this is a trend that I feel will repeat itself time and time again, and one that I will probably keep attempting to achieve long after we have moved onto something else less characteristic of my style such as minimalism. So I am leaving you with some runway images to inspire. Keep it classy ladies!

Casting news
I find this quite interesting/exciting. According to Variety, Jackie Earle Haley has signed on to be Freddy Krueger in the upcoming remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. Personally, I feel this is quite a coup for the movie. If Haley can bring half of the intenstity he brought to the character Rorschach in Watchmen, he could be quite a treat to behold as Freddy Krueger. Of course, it all comes down to direction, but this film has just been given a fantastic chance to appeal to naysayers.

Centretown Hotels Guide
Take in the old brick buildings and multitude of city parks as you walk around Centretown, Ottawa. You'll find modern constructions mixed in with older residences and storefronts, many of which date back to the 1880s. If you're visiting with children – or even on your own – check out the Canadian Museum of Nature and its collections of fossils, crystals, and preserved mammals, reptiles, and insects. For less creepy-crawly pursuits, head to the Dominion Arboretum, and wander through over 1,700 types of plants and trees set amidst quiet waterways.
After a day spent touring the city, head back to your hotel for some well-deserved rest. If you're staying at a quaint bed and breakfast, your host may pass on additional itinerary suggestions over a home-cooked dinner. If you're staying at a larger hotel, order up some room service and sprawl out on your bed for a few hours before heading down to the hot tub to soak your tired muscles.
When you're ready to book your trip, reserve your spot right here on Expedia.ca. We offer all the best deals on rooms and suites in the city. When you stay in Centretown, you have the added perk of being within a stone's throw of the downtown area, but you'll pay less than you would in the middle of the district. No matter where you decide to rest your head at night, Expedia can help you find the best rates on the Ottawa hotel of your choice.
