Can't afford TWO blasters... but maybe I can make up a temporary pot for other media from two 20 lb gas cylinders.
looks like a DIY project
What you get for $130
I just want to show everyone what you get when you send Eastwood $130 for the upgrade kit. The price seems a bit excessive. I hope someone else will start supplying them at a reasonable price.
I guess this will be my introductory post as well as a little something to add to this topic. I'm a DIY kinda guy and like to learn new things, trades, and skills. I've got a hobby polishing metals including automotive parts and whatnot. I'm not a hotrodder, i'm into the Volkswagen scene so forgive me for my shortcomings. I like to purchase old used parts that no one has any love for anymore, and I like to bring life into them and sell them for some profit for the time, energy, and material used.
This weekend I decided I would purchase a sand/soda blaster from harbor freight for 129.99, after seeing what I thought eastwood was selling the exact same one except in the color blue for 299.99. I also purchased a 50 pound bag of soda, and it worked pretty well. I blasted down a greasy used valve cover and it seemed to have done the job pretty well. Afterward, I went back on the Eastwood website and saw that the two soda blasters were not exactly identical, but Eastwood thought they could charge $300 for the near identical made in china blaster because of their own patented or soon to be patented retro kit that was applied on their version. Now I don't know how much better the retro kit would perform from the performance coming from my HF blaster right now with soda media, so now I am at a point of interest whether or not I should get the retro kit? More so, after looking a little further at the retro kit, I saw what looked to be something that I could personally make, so I googled 'make your own soda blasting retro kit' and it led me straight to this thread.
So my question now is, has this retro kit finally been patented, and will someone who has purchased this tell me if they think it is worth purchasing or am I better off trying to make my own replica based off the photos I can find on the web?
I apologize for bumping such an old thread as well.
You need to read the second page of the thread. That will answer your questions.
sorry I did read the whole post before I posted, what I meant to say was before I asked my final question was if the patent has been finalized yet or is it still open?
You could ask the fellow from Eastwood directly.
If the patent has been granted, you can obtain a copy and see just what they have done. Like I said before, patents only protect Eastwood against commercial exploitation. You or anyone can use the patent filing to duplicate the device for your own use, can tell others how to make it, but cannot make it for others. Patent law exists this way to foster innovation while protecting the commercial nature of the use of patents. You may, after duplicating the device, find a better way to do the same thing or it could inspire you to create something entirely new.
From what the fellow said, the device creates a vortex that keeps the media from caking. It's probably $20 worth of hardware and $20,000 of development. Paying $129 seems reasonable for the time and effort required to duplicate it from the patent drawings.
To better answer you original question, a buddy purchased it and it works as advertised, which is to say "like magic". I plan on purchasing one so I don't have to drive so far to use his.
But if you do track down the patent, post a link to it here.
Gosh this has been an interesting read.
Somebody asked for facts, so lets get some in the thread.
FACT{ Soda is an entirely different impact method than hard media ranging from ground glass to silica sand. Think of the old PacMan gobbling, and you have a basic idea of how soda hits. That method makes soda ideal for soft deposits, and not worth a damn for hard deposits unless you want to spend a lot of time.
FACT{ Soda operates at far lower pressures than hard medias, and far ower volumes of media per square area than conventional media.
FACT{ Soda blasting will cause yo to have a lot of problems if you get into a warranty claim with most paint manufacturers.
FACT{ Soda residue is NOT a protective film, and thinking it is or even leaving residue in place is a bad practice.
FACT{ there are a minimum of 4 grades of soda used in blasting, each has different properties and delivers differing results.
FACT{ Soda is different enough from hard media that considerable operator learning time is necessary. Generally a good media blasting operator won't transition to soda worth squat.
FACT{ Soda used in blasting is NOT the same as home baking soda in any manner beyond being chemicly the same. The granuels are far different.
FACT{ I'll refrain from commenting on Eastwood's product beyond saying I wouldn't pay 10¢ for it. If it took Eastwoods more than 2 hours to figure out the eductor they need to restudy the subject.
FACT{ Soda requires absolutely DRY air, no if and or but about it. The necessity is far beyond what is delivered by anything short of a refridgerated dryer followed by a descicant dryer.
FACT{ most commercial soda machines employ vibrators to keep the soda moving from the hopper to the mixer.
FACT{ anybody with some knowledge of dry media handling eductors can build a soda blaster similar to a company I'll not mention a second time from a dry powder extinguisher in a home shop.
FACT{ there are multiple manufactures of good soda equipment that is worth the investment if you have work for the machine. Oddly they find no need to keep their mechanisms secret, and are fully aware patents are only worth how much you have to spend on lawyers defending the patent. They sell through rock solid vendors who know the media blasting business.
Some of those vendors have web sites.
www.armex.com is the company that makes most soda product, and knows sodablasting better than anyone
FACT{ I don't like twobit hustlers selling crap product!
Thanks,Franz©, for adding to the discussion. I feel the need to make two points, however.
The first is that a "fact" deals with a special kind of truth or reality and can be distinguished from opinion or conclusions. You provide all three types, but identify them all as "fact". For example:
NOTE: If you will provide it, a reference to technical information about the design of dry media handling eductors would be an especially useful addition to this thread since it would allow us to build our own soda blaster from a dry powder extinguisher (I have several that are too old to be acceptable to the Fire Marshall).
Second, I believe that your are not making an allowance for the important distinction between hobbyist and commercial equipment. Commercial equipment needs to be very ruggedly built, trouble-free and produce consistent, repeatable results at or above industry standards in a production environment. Such a piece of equipment is the Ace Soda Blaster, Model #101826-A, retailing at $2,300. The Eastwood Soda Blaster, while made of good materials at $300, is intended as hobby equipment.
No professional should consider the purchase and use of the Eastwood blaster to earn their living, just as most hobby users would not consider the purchase of the Ace equipment. We would elect to spend that extra $2000 one something else, if we even had it in the first place.
Your criticisms of the Eastwood blaster imply that you expect absolute parity between the commercial and hobbyist blasters. The more useful question is not whether the Eastwood blaster is a $2000 cheaper drop-in replacement of the Acer blaster (it is not), but whether or not the Eastwood blaster can do an adequate job for the hobby user.
That is a conclusion (and not a fact) that can be determined only buy using it for the purpose it was intended and examining the results. From what I have seen, for $300 it's "good enough" if used properly (and you clearly point out some of the problems any soda blaster must overcome).
Since it is unlikely that many of us will be purchasing and using commercial-grade equipment and you are knowledgeable in soda blasting tools and techniques, what practical advice can you offer that will allow us to get the most out of the Eastwood blaster?
Here is some info about soda blasters.
A guy named "mattythies" has DIY plans for a soda blaster. It's mentioned in this thread: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2715
The thread is from July 2004, but I'll join the forum and ask him for the plans and for permission to post the plans here if they are still available.
AllSource sells a Soda Blaster Attachment Kit for $150 and you can get one at Northern Tool: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...6065_200366065
Ace makes a 10lb. portable soda blaster for $249: http://www.ace-sandblasting.com/soda-blasting.html
as well as their more expensive soda blasters previously mentioned.
Here's United States Patent 7134945, Soda blasting apparatus:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2 FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=12&f=G&l=50&co1=OR&d=PTXT&s1="soda+bla sting"&s2="soda+blasting"&OS="soda+blasting"+OR+"s oda+blasting"&RS="soda+blasting"+OR+"soda+blasting "
or the shorter http://www.socuteurl.com/funnybabyboo
That page also cites other related patents with links to them. No patent was found for Eastwood, so it must not yet be granted. If somebody has a commercial soda blaster, it would be illuminating to know what patents they claim for their device.
Here's a page that discusses a 1941 patent (2261565) for soda blasting and compares it to Buster Blasters' product which uses U.S. Patent 7134945 mentined above: http://sodaworks.com/pages/Research.php
You need a TIFF viewer plug-in for your browser to view the USPTO images.
The patent drawing can also be seen here:
A few questions for discussion?
1. How effective is the AllSource kit and how does it compare to the one offered by Eastwood? I would think that with Eastwood claiming its own patent, the devices should be different.
2. How do the $249 Ace portable soda blaster and the Eastwood $300 soda blaster compare?

Thanks again. And thanks for the link to FoxValve.com.
As a technical writer, I'll agree that a lot of "information" is supplied by copywriters whose grasp of the technology behind the product is somewhere south of nothing and their promotion of the product is just greed dressed up in a cheap suit. Still, it's difficult for those among us who are not as knowledgeable as you to separate the from fiction since a lie often looks like (or better than) the truth. It always helps to hear what an experienced professional has to say so we can make a better decision
If I understand you correctly, the inherent problems with soda as a blasting medium can only be overcome with the proper design for the equipment. Anything based on "fire extinguisher" technology will be inferior. And I believe you. Based on the patents I referenced above, it would be interesting to see what designs are used by the top equipment companies.
The question then becomes if I want a device for light duty, small parts, very occasional use and don't want to invest a lot of money, is the Eastwood type equipment adequate? Not the best. Not the most efficient. Just adequate. And what can be done to get the best performance from it while spending the least amount of money? From what I've read, the driest air possible and the correct media are very important. How do we accomplish those goals on a budget?
BTW, I've contacted the fellow with the soda blaster plans, so we'll see what he has to offer.

I did come across the patent you mentioned and a couple others for mixing media (e.g., soda + plastic).
At any rate, soda blasting at home seems like a huge waste of time and money unless you can get your air really dry or just accept that you get a day or two before you have to throw away the media and clean out the hopper and rinse it and flush it with acetone or some other water-flushing solvent. It may work in AZ but it probably won't work in Seattle.
OK, lets begin with the subject of dry air.
It is important in any situation, from air tools not kept in a heated environment to paint and media blasting.
Dry air isn't impossible to acheive, and can be accomplished fairly cheap even if you can't weld. By can't weld I mean you aren't competent to weld on a pressure vessel, and I have no intention of getting into welding discussions on this site or welding certification either.
Long ago I developed a contraption that you can find on over 100 sites called the "Franzinator". Feel free to google it. 90% of the people who say it can't work have never tried building it. Rest assured, if built to specification it does work. 90% of the people who say it doesn't work did NOT build correctly or did NOT place it in the correct location in the air system.
I have developed the device over 40 years and maximized its possibility in my use situation. Slight improvements can be acheived for people needing more seperation because of where they are located. Feel free to ask questions on Toolbox, because I see no point in posting what I have to say on multiple sites.
There have been a boatload of immitators, they didn't adhere to the dimensions and got crap results. For nonweldors there is a plan on Toolbox for the No Welding Required version.
The "Franzinator" is not a 100% air/water seperator.
Subscequently I had a second idea for what is called the Jonsiematic Air polisher. It's fairly well discussed at http://z6.invisionfree.com/ToolBoxTa...opic=1835&st=0.
Again, feel free to ask questions, same rule applies.
To save somebody typing, copper does not give superior or even equal results to iron in the "Franzinator" because copper is nonradiational by comparison to steel in heat situations.
With a polisher behind a "Franzinator" you will have sufficiently dry air for most aplications, unless you dwell in a swamp.
Since my presumption is nobody here is running a 100CFM compressor and pushing a ¼" tip I see no point in addressing that level of machinery.
In any media blasting situation, water in the air is a problem, regardless of the media. Soda is a 10 on the PITA scale when it comes to moiusture being a problem. Ground glass is about a 3. There is nothing short of dumping rock into a truck that rates a 1 or 2.
Coated sodas are lowering their PITA rating, but not by much.
Soda is easily fracturable, and that means in the hose and gun. Blowing dust out of a hose acheives nothing, unless you're a freak of nature who can't get enough of the taste.
Some of the small soda blasters I've seen in the market appear to attempt to employ the same basic design as a powder fire extinguisher. It's a good idea, BUT, the Bozo designing the machine forgot a few things. Extinguishers are pressurized with either DRY AIR or Nitrogen, and are a limited duration fast dump device. Extinguisher powders also contain a considerable amount of lubricant, generally ground talc. Soda doesn't contain lubricant.
Soda blasting requires metering the media into the airstream. Were the media in a nonpressurized hopper this would be very easy to do, BUT the "designers" have become fascinated with pressurized hoppers because they lack common sense. When you factor in that they pressurize the hopper with the same airsource they use for the blast stream, they screw themselves right out of the box. I've proven this on commercial units.
Metering into an eductor isn't hard to accomplish, most commercial machines do it with a pinwheel, as is shown on thepage I previously posted on dry media eductors. It works well until clumping occurrs in the pot. Most commercial machines try to solve clumping by employing a vibrator or thumper. It works some days. The clowns marketing homeowner soda blasters for a few hundred bucks attempt to solve clumping and metering with sized ports and dump valves. I don't know your level of frustration before you kick something out the door, but mine is failry short. I have no desire to stop blasting to clear a clump every couple minutes, and I long ago stopped listening to excuses from manufacturers and vendors.
Bottom line at this point can a small soda blaster for home use be made in somebody's garage? Sure it can. How many hours are you willing to spend making it? I've got a few ideas on what will work, but no inclination to spend 100+ hours making one and I have a fairly complete shop available.
My first experience shooting soda was more than 30 years ago. I told the "engineers" and the people who wrote the spec it was the wrong media for the job. They knew more than I did, and they signed off on my objections. The smart people were the first to run when the cloud lofted into the sky, and they were noplace to be found when the firetrucks arrived. They also paid the bill for all the load of soda, as well as the cost of doing the job correctly.
Blast media has come a long way over the last 30 years, and there are many purpose specific media, including granulated dry ice. For some unknown reason in the last 2 or 3 years a fascination with soda has developed, particularly in respect to cars. I can't see a single benefit to blowing soda toward a car, it's the wrong damn media. If you want to clean caked on grease soda is a good choice, but not for removing paint. Paint manufacturers warn against using soda on a vehicle, and won't warranty product if soda is used.
BTW, don't ever let an insurance carrier talk you into mold remediation by sodablasting. Soda doesn't kill the mold, but it gets the carrier off the hook when the mold consumes your hovel.
Soda blasting aside, I have a chronic problem with moisture since my shop is only a few miles from Cape Henry, where the Atlantic meets the Chesapeake Bay and is bordered by the Great Dismal Swamp to the south just for good measure. I drain buckets of H2O from my compressor in the summertime and the blasting cabinet is almost unusable in August.
I found the Franzinator a compelling idea and collected a number of informational links in my blog at http://www.route60garage.com/ just to keep track of them.
Franz© is also quite the prolific author of some good HOWTO info at http://z6.invisionfree.com/ToolBoxTa...p?showforum=28
I had the chance yesterday to use a friend's Eastwood soda blaster to clean up some vintage auto trim. It did a nice job except for the problems with moisture. I would not want to use it on anything large; yes it would be a PITA.
Thanks for the info, Franz©.
Now with all of that said how do we work around it? Well you can buy one of the high dollar driers that cool the air to below freezing before it enters the compressor or you can buy one that cools the air after it leaves the compressor. These are very expensive but they do a good job. They are actually refrigeration units. I once worked at a shop that had one and it was great. Another way is a trap or filter that uses desiccant. These work good but you have to change the desiccant cartridge from time time and they too are kind of pricey. I have seen some of the high dollars units (thousands of dollars) that contained both desiccant and chilled the air.
I've been at it now for going on forty years and I have fought moisture all along the way. I don't do much blasting any more but I still paint and I use a plasma cutter attached to shop air and the moisture can really create problems in all of these. For years I have used the old standby toilet paper air filter (real cheap) and I usually replace it for every job. I have tried all kinds of traps and made a few of my own and some worked and some didn't. But a few years ago I came up with another idea. I have already posted it in another thread so I just copied and pasted it here:
Now something that you guys may not know is to use an old house steam radiator as a water trap. You can pick them up cheap at building wrecker yards. They can hold a lot of pressure and usually all that is wrong with them is bad fittings and you will change all of that anyway. Plumb it so the air from the compressor goes into the bottom at one end and leaves at the top of the other. Depending on what type you find you may have to drill and tap a hole to accomplish this. You may even have to use a bung and this could be brazed on or silver soldered. Place it so that air can get to both sides and put a water trap down low at the outlet side or end that is farthest away from the compressor, I have an automatic spitter valve on mine. Be sure to slope it about an inch toward the spitter. On hot humid days I put a shop fan on one side of it but I have found that this is not necessary during the winter months. You will be surprised at how much water it collects.
For insurance I still use a fresh roll of toilet paper in the toilet paper filter when ever I paint a car but the steam radiator works great for everything else.
I hope that this helps with the water problem.

Caught in a lie. What do you do?
What should a public figure do when caught in a mistake or telling a lie?
Any experienced political advisor will urge, "Stop lying, tell the truth, and get the whole story out in one fell swoop."
Further lying or delay in telling the whole story makes it worse. Day after day, the news media's reports reemphasize and compound the negatives, destroying the troubled public figure's chances for rehabilitation in the public's mind.
Lance Armstrong and John Edwards compounded their disasters by delaying acknowledgement of errors and continuing to lie to the public.
Duke University history professor William Chafe, author of "Bill and Hillary: The Politics of the Personal," agrees. "The cover-up is worse than the crime and it is going to come back and get you. When you've done something wrong, 'fess up."
For every rule there are exceptions. Professor Chafe describes how Bill Clinton saved his presidency by maintaining and adjusting his untruthful story about his relationship with Monica Lewinski, waiting several months before admitting the truth.
"He buys six months" Chafe told me recently, "and that six months saves his presidency."
During those months the country got used to the idea of having a president who had an affair with an intern and lied about it. Several things helped Clinton. The country's economy under his leadership was doing well. Ken Starr, the special prosecutor, and the Republican impeachment team came across to the public as political and unnecessarily oppressive. Most importantly, Hillary Clinton stuck by her husband, even though he had cheated on and lied to her.
How can Hillary Clinton's extraordinary loyalty to her husband be explained? Chafe's book takes on the task. Chafe "became convinced that the only way anyone could understand either one of them—and the politics of the 80s and 90s—was by examining the chemistry of their relationship. Their intimate life animated and ultimately determined the roles they played politically."
Chafe examines the Clintons' lives from their troubled childhoods through the struggles of a marriage rocked by Bill Clinton's serial womanizing. He describes how each time Bill got in trouble, Hillary rescued him. When the publicity about his affair with Gennifer Flowers blew up during the 1992 primary campaign, Hillary was rehearsed and ready to join him on national television (Sixty Minutes) to persuade Americans that, although there had been trouble in the past, their marriage was strong and durable.
Why would she do this? Chafe explains, "By doing so, she not only rescued Bill's candidacy, but ensured that her own power in both the personal and political relationship would increase."
It was Hilary Clinton's final and most important rescue that made possible the success of Bill Clinton's six months of deception. Chafe explains, "After the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke in 1998, Bill Clinton thought for a brief period he would be forced to resign in disgrace, just as Richard Nixon did in 1974. But for the last time, Hillary came to his rescue, standing by him even after he admitted his guilt and faced impeachment. Only this time, by saving her husband -- and their co-presidency -- she also liberated herself to become her own person in politics."
Saving her husband's presidency, Chafe argues, gave her the freedom to chart her own political course. While the Senate was voting on the impeachment charges brought against her husband, she was meeting with political advisors to plan her campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from New York.
The Clintons' experience was a rare exception. I agree with Bill Chafe about the general rule: when you get in trouble, stop lying, tell all, all at once.

Not conforming to the gender binary; presenting or identifying as something other than a guy or a girl. May be used to describe androgyny. This term is used in the transgender community, though not everyone who refers to themselves as "genderfucked" also identifies as transgender, and vice-verse. The word is very seldom used in a derogatory sense, and genderfucked individuals usually describe themselves as such.

Wild Mushroom Risotto
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 pound Italian pork sausages, casings removed and meat chopped
- 2 cups medium-grain rice, such as Arborio, Vialone Nano or Carnaroli
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup shelled peas (fresh or frozen)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Pour the stock into a saucepan and bring just to a simmer.
- In a large saucepan or risotto pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil. Add the onion and saut until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sausages and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to break up the lumps, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, until the kernels are hot and coated with oil, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and continue to cook, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed.
- Add the stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and making sure the liquid has been absorbed before adding more. When the rice is about half cooked, stir in the peas and season with salt and pepper.
- The risotto is done when the rice grains are creamy on the outside and firm yet tender to the bite, 20 to 25 minutes total. Rice varies, so you may not need all of the stock or you may need more. If more liquid is required, use hot water.
- Remove the risotto from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the cheese. Spoon the risotto into warmed soup bowls and serve immediately.

It was a very nice stay! The room has an cool design, it was all clean and the host is very welcoming and helpful. In case I would stay for few days again in Barcelona I will book my stay at Sophia's place again.
Sofia is a very nice Person and trys always to help you out if you have any question about the City and knows good places for breakfast or where to spend the evening.
The room was very clean and also the shared bathroom.
If you want to stay a few days in Barcelona this is a very good Option for it.
Thanks a Lot for the nice days Sofia
Perfect room for young people located in the heart of Barcelona and only a couple of minutes away from the metrostation.
The room was very clean and decorated really pretty. The host was super nice and awesome and helped us out with a little problem. We enjoyed the stay a lot. We would come back for sure.
Magg is a very kind person. Her appartment is stylish and cosy. The room is nice, the bed is comfortable and the bathroom clean.
I can really recommend to stay at Magg's room.
Nice Room!! It's exactly the same as on the pciture. Only thing is, you can not lock the bathroom door..
location is fine!!
The best place to stay in Barcelona! Apartment situated in the main part of the city, so all "have to see places" are close. But the best thing - it is very, very quiet. After all day long walking in such noisy city you will appreciate it :) Really recommend.
It was the first time we used Wimdu to find a place to stay while traveling, and we were really happy to found such a nice place with a reasonable price in Bacelona. Magali is absolutely a nice and friendly host! I give my best recommendation.

For six short months in 1893, Jackson Park in Chicago was home to one of the largest and most spectacular expositions of the 19th Century. Near the close of the Fair, The Field Columbian Museum (now The Field Museum) was founded. When the Museum opened in 1894, visitors could once again experience many of the exhibits they had seen at the fair. Thousands of objects exhibited at the Fair were donated or sold to the new museum, and they have been cared for by the Anthropology Department since then. Many of those objects have not been viewed by the public since 1893!
Anthropology in 1893 was a very new branch of social science, and leading anthropologists came together to build the anthropology exhibits at the 1893 World's Fair. Some went on trips dedicated to collecting objects to display at the World's Fair; others worked to construct exhibits inside and outside the Anthropology Building.
This web site features some of the thousands of objects brought into the Anthropology Department of the Field Columbian Museum from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Please be our guest in this virtual museum, and explore and examine the many different types of objects in our collections from different cultures around the world.
Gigantic expositions and fairs were very popular in the late 19th century. In 1890 Chicago won Congressional approval to host a world's fair to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in present-day America. Chicago's business and civil leaders successfully had emerged from previous economic and social challenges to a new era in which they promised recovery, growth, and civic pride. According to the 1890 census, Chicago was the second largest U.S. city after New York City with a population of 1,099,850 people. Fair directors wanted to demonstrate Chicago's rising status by producing a magnificent, world-class event. Following the lead of other cities' successful expositions and fairs, Chicago leaders expected the World's Columbian Exposition (WCE) to be a magnetic force drawing old residents and new immigrants more closely around city leadership's plans and visions for the future. The WCE would feature the latest technology, dazzling new buildings and exhibits, celebrity visitors, and, of course, the "exoticism" of the Midway Plaisance, which was home to for-profit concessions, many featuring representations of far-away cottages, streets, or villages.
Chicago's leaders hoped the WCE would provide more than jobs, goods and services to residents. WCE organizers designed the fair to promote their "civilization"—their cultural values and accomplishments in particular, and to suggest that visitors to the WCE compare and contrast these accomplishments with those of the diverse peoples whose lives and products were displayed at the Exposition. The gleaming White City with its dazzling technology and monumental size was to be living proof of the promise and progress of Western nations, and a stark contrast to the colonial villages of the Midway Plaisance.

Exhibition book
For thousands of years, across mainland and island Southeast Asia, the deification of significant ancestors and the veneration of spirits of nature have formed the basis of traditional beliefs. It has also been the impetus for the creation of splendid and extraordinary works of art in fibre, stone, metal, wood and clay—made to protect and give pleasure to the living, to honour the ancestors and to secure safe passage for the human soul between this world and the afterlife.
Life death and magic: 2000 years of Southeast Asian ancestral art provides an evocative overview of the region's ancestral arts and culture, from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. Beautifully designed, it is prolifically illustrated with works of art from countries and regions including Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, East Timor, Brunei, Thailand, Cambodia and southern China which are drawn from museums around the world and the National Gallery of Australia's exceptional collection of Southeast Asian art.

The sex police are at it again seeking to control reading habits of members of the military. Ten years after Congress banned sale of sexually explicit materials on military installations, dozens of religious and anti-porn groups are demanding removal of 'Penthouse" and other such magazines which display the body of nude females. They are upset the Pentagon's Review Board did not ban "Penthouse" and "Playboy." Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., claims the military is skirting the intent of the law and added. "if soldiers want to read that stuff, they can walk down the street and buy it."
I believe Congressman Bartlett has a wonderful idea. If American soldiers fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan want to purchase Penthouse or Playboy, they should simply walk down the street to the nearest al-Qaeda camp and purchase these items. At a time when basic liberties are being abridged this idiot congressman is worried about what men and women fighting for their nation read at night! Honestly, Mr. Bartlett, walking down the street in Baghdad, for any reason, can result in your death. In case you doubt this statement is accurate, why don't you hop a plane to Baghdad and check out reading materials?

The Superbowl when the Giants lost to the Ravens. I wanted to be near where Peyton was calling the plays and scream out instructions.
This is probably random, but I would go back to the wild card game against the Falcons.
I don't think anybody including myself knew how dominant we were going to be in that game, and in the playoffs leading to the Super Bowl.
Met Life was just rockin' and we played so well and set the tone for the rest of the playoffs. Loved that game. Probably my favorite playoff game minus the Super Bowls of course.
Mood: WOOF!
1932 world series game 3, really would like to know if Ruth really pointed and called that home run.
The thrilla in manilla
1) Ali vs. Frazier 1(the 1st fight in MSG)
2) Miracle on Ice: 1980 US Olympic Hockey team upseting the Russians
3) Don Larsen's Perfect Game in the World Series
4) 1958 NFL Championship Game
5) Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game
In that order.....A distant 6th moment would have been see the game were Josh Gibson almost-by a matter of inches-hit the ball out of the Old Yankee Stadium

Game 6 1986 World Series
That is easy. December 23, 192 AD Maximus vs Commodus Roman Colosseum
I would travel back to the 1963 NFL Championship game at Wrigley Field in Chicago
I would make sure a message got to either Phil King or Joe Morrison to be sure they block Larry Morris all day
if Larry Morris doesn't injure Tittles knee late in the 1st quarter the NY Football Giants are the 1963 NFL Champions
that game still sticks in my craw
the Giants were without a doubt the better team that afternoon

just wanted to see what the adverage was of beekeepers in here use in there hives, if you use more than one type foundation , just pick the one you have the most of in your hives.
I'm useing Pierco and I like them so for , this is my first year so not to much experiance to compair them with. I do have wooded frames with crimped wire foundation for supers and the bee's tend to propolize the wood alot more. just my 2 cents
I guess no foundation falls under 'Other'.
For now duragilt and some waxed rite-cell, but in the future I think I will be moving to foundationless with starter strips. Bees like to build it themselves! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Bee Happy!

Do most folks run the same type of foundation in the brood chambers as they run up in the honey supers?
Rite-Cell amd Pierco and the last I got is black and what a differance it makes looking for eggs
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
We are converting to all coated plasticell from duraguilt. We have a Dadant warehouse nearby so plasticell is easy to get, easy to clean and reusuable. Since we have around 8,00 frames it makes sense for us.
None would have been a nice choice. [img]smile.gif[/img] But I actually do a mix of several things. Including PermaComb, starter strips, small cell and none.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
tecumesh is old school so I exclusively use starndard foundation. me think it would have been good to have segregated plain and ripplewire foundation as two categories.
I'm like Michael, no single option in the poll fits my current situation- I use small cell wax in some hives, large cell wax in others, generally large cell in honey supers; some wax starter strips or half sheets, and (by accident) foundationless frames in a few cases [img]smile.gif[/img] \
Dulcius ex asperis
thought there would have been more useing permacomb on this site, I should have put another selection : how many are useing 3 or more of the above.
Plasticell. Yesterday I cut some of it down to one inch strips, removed the "wedge" in my wedged frames, and stapled them to the side of the empty wedge. I then waxed them. It was too easy. My queen source for splits fell through so I may have to wait till next year to try them out. Or perhaps I'll feed one hive just to see what they do with it.
Michael E Wilson
I am a wood and wax man. I make my own foundation and know it is pesticide free. also a good point is I can make it as thick as I like so no wireing.
Don I think plastic not natural
Mostly I use none but I do use some starter strips. A nice choice might have been more than one of the above.

None... Unless pouring hot wax into the top slot is considered a starter strip.

Clone Wars launched this weekend
November 18, 2011 by Grace Franklin · Leave a Comment
A new charity supporting people with a rare bone marrow disease, has secured agreement from Star Wars creators Lucas Film to use their Stormtroooper logo to highlight their 'Clone Wars.'
To be launched formally on Saturday 19 November 2011, at Newton Mearns Baptist Church by Patron Humza Yousaf, MSP, the charity is called PNH. This stands for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH). People with this potentially life-threatening disease can suffer organ failure. Said Humza: 'Those with a rare disease, such as PNH, not only suffer from that but also have to deal with feelings of isolation. They will very rarely come across others with the same condition.'
In PNH patients the bone marrow causes blood cells to be produced incorrectly. The percentage of abnormal PNH cells in the blood is called the "clone size" hence 'Clone Wars.'
Founder and Chairperson of PNH Scotland, Lesley Loeliger also commented: 'My aim in setting up the PNH Scotland charity is to raise awareness of this ultra-rare and debilitating bone marrow disease. As a PNH sufferer myself, I know how important it is to have a point of contact and up-to-date information and that is exactly what PNH Scotland intends to provide.'
Added Humza: ' I am honoured to be made Patron. Not only will the group raise awareness of the condition but it will give much needed support to those suffering, many of whom have no-one to turn to for help and advice.' Lesley is a former neighbour of Humza's. He said: ' I saw her when she was first diagnosed and have seen her right the way through her journey from then.'

There Is No Planet B: Update on Rights of Nature at the United Nations
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights, End Dirty Energy, Guest Posts, People Power, Not Corporate Power on 28th August, 2013 | 1 Comment
The goal of the UN's new "high-level political forum" (HLPF) is to keep "sustainable development" high on national agendas. But is "sustainable development" our end goal — and by whose definition? We cannot separate what we do to the Earth from what we do to ourselves. Yet, every element of our current, neoliberal economic system is intertwined with the idea that the natural world is property. We trivialize the fullness of life and diversity of natural world by labeling its elements "resources," We must change this in our communities and through institutions like the United Nations.

Im torn between a Cruz or JPP new Nike jersey..
yeah. it's obvious it's a rip off, but whatever. they're still what i buy. i'm not doling out 300 on a stitched jersey. i wish some of these chinese sweat shop places would just make iron on jerseys for like 15 or 20. they are so much more comfortable to wear on game day.
Also the limited jerseys are stitched. Everything is stitched too unlike Reebok's... from the NY in the front to the Nike signs on the sleeves. I actually prefer these because they're not as stiff as the elites and they don't got that awkward square on the bottom front. I still need at least one elite though.
Thanks burner

Hello Everyone,
This year I purchased a "Russian" breeder queen. These bees are quite different in many respects from the assorted races of bees available in the US. They are a small, dark bee with many of the characteristics traditionally ascribed to the Caucasians in the previous posts.
They can produce large numbers of excellent queen cells and were amoung my best honey producers. They carry 1/50th the varroa mite load of my Italians and Carniolians and are unusually gentle and quiet on the combs.
I was concerned with their smaller cluster size going into winter but my recent inspection indicates that the bees are long lived and have survived the worst winter in the last 5 years(central Wyoming)in great shape.
This stock could be an excellent choice to try if you are looking for a dark bee in the US.
Best Wishes
Dennis Murrell

Source: bought it new
Light pack that is one with your back and allows for great organization.
- Great fit and support
- Lightweight
- Nice organization
- Great side compartments
- Top pocket non detachable
- Hipbelt too big
Fit and Ride:
This pack has a really great fit. It stays close to your back and rides with you like no other pack I know. This is why I have had these in several volumes for different purposes. The shoulder harness length is adjustable to fine tune your fit and it really adds to the comfort level in the end.
The only thing that is only just OK for me is the hip belt size. If I tighten it to the max, it is only just tight enough (I am 184cm tall and 72Kg). So for me in the summer it just works.
The pack has the standard straps to compress the volume down. Just like with other packs are wish there were some on the bottom as well. Then, if you really want to go low volume, you can make sure there is not a huge bump in the bottom that swallows a lot of your gear. The good thing is the Kestrel 48 has a bottom (sleeping bag) compartment, and if you wish you can leave that empty.
This pack is great to live out of, and especially great for example in the winter, where you might want quick access to different gear. Apart from the main compartment there is a top lid with two zippered access points from the outside. There is a bottom access zipper that you can make into a separate compartment or consolidate with the main compartment (there is an piece of fabric on the inside that you can use to make the area separate). And there are two zippered side compartments.
What I like about these side compartments is they don't really bulge outward. Rather if you load them up the volume pushes inward into the main compartment. As such it is not so much about adding volume, as about adding organisation and accessibility. This keeps the packs overall shape slim, while allowing for quicker access and better organisation, with less unpacking and repacking gear. Especially when you need to take off your main gloves it is great if you can minimise time spend retrieving and repacking gear. I will definitely look for this feature in other packs.
As an example of organization on last winter's season — I put my hard shell in one side pocket, different layers of gloves (thin liners, 2 pairs of thick fleece gloves, waterproof shell mitts) in the other side compartment. I had a fleece and emergency bothy in the bottom compartment, and maps and compass in the top lid. The main compartment had become a bit smaller because of the gear in the side pockets, but very easily swallowed the rest of my gear (fak, ditty bag, down hoody, food, water bottles in cozy, and my (rather large) crampons). I had strapped wakan (Japanese snow shoes) to the front of my pack with some cordage.
The size is good, it allows you to pack bulky gear in there loosely, or go on multi day treks with lighter gear. Any more volume and I don't know if I wouldn't want a more solid hip belt. Right now the support is perfectly fine as it is. Again for me the hip belt length can only just go short enough - I think it would be good to be able to cinch down more. If you do a lot of endurance sports or climbing (have low body fat) you might find yourself at the edge as well.
I wish you could detach the top lid for when you don't need the volume. A simple top cinch strap would be ok a lot of the times. The mesh front pocket is a bit on the small side. Though it does swallow up most that I want to put in there (wet shirts, wet hats, trash), it doesn't really get the chance to dry out.
Overall I think this is a really great pack, that is perfect where it counts most for me - fit/comfort and ride. It really stays glued to your pack, with minimal swaying of the load when it is fully packed. Best thing I can say is I hardly notice it during long hard treks. Highly recommended.
I have the Osprey Talon 44 and I've also found the hipbelt to be way too large. I'm also about your stature at 6' 150. However, I couldn't really go with the s/m because of my long torso.

And yes exactly, the smaller torso size wouldn't work, but the belt size would come in handy. For me it is just on the side of not being a problem though.

Price Paid: $169
Great pack for lightweight overnight backpacking and airline travel.
- Lightweight
- Full of features
- Small enough for all airplane overheads
This pack is fantastic. I purchased it for airline travel because the frame height is just within the maximum overhead bin length limits. I was hoping that someday my backpacking gear would be light/small enough to use this for overnight backpacking. I have been traveling on planes for over a year with this pack and it fits in even commuter jets overhead bins. It is Osprey, so the build quality is top notch. Love this pack for travel.
My gear has gotten light and small for backpacking. I now take this pack for overnight backpacking trips. My other main pack is an Osprey Aether 60. This pack has a much thinner (less padding) strap setup. I expected some "hot spots" or soreness due to thin straps. I was wrong.
This pack wildly exceeded my expectations in the comfort department. Mind you- my pack weight was 30 lbs. in and 26 lbs. out. This pack is not designed to carry over 30 lbs. My only complaints are the amount of pack sway and the need for constant re-tightening of my hip belt straps. The pack sway is mostly due to my insistence of keeping the pack off of my shoulders and on my hips. Kudos to the hip belt for being able to comfortably handle the weight! This made the hip belt constantly need tightening. It may have been a hassle, but I was comfortable for ten miles in and ten miles out.
This pack has so many features. Hip belt pockets, shove it pocket, trekking pole stash loops, side water bottle pockets, camelback pocket, straps to hold anything anywhere on the outside. You name it, it's got it. No other pack that I looked at in this size range had all the features and could comfortably carry 30 lbs.
I would buy this pack again in a heartbeat. I look forward to many wonderful overnight backpacking trips and many trips in airplanes all over the world.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $150
The Osprey line of backpacks is one of the most highly praised in the oversaturated industry of outdoor recreation equipment, and with good reason. The Kestrel series is no exception. Intended for both amateur and serious hikers, the Kestrel delivers on multiple levels.
- Extremely high quality construction
- Multiple ways to cinch and tighten the pack
- "Air Scape" backpanel keeps you dry and comfortable
- One of the most comfortable packs around
- Hydration port is not very accommodating
- Top lid is fixed and not removable
- Color choices could be better
The Kestrel 48 is a versatile and lightweight pack that can be used for a day hike or a multiple overnighter. When I strapped this thing on for the first time, I was amazed how comfortable it was. Despite weighing three pounds alone without any gear, it felt as light as a feather. Even with the pack full of 30+ pounds of gear, it still felt light and airy and the straps were comfortable.
The pack can surprisingly hold a lot of gear, which can also make it deceptively easy to overpack. I've had a tendency to put way too much into the pack for short overnight trips, because I have the space and feel like I can keep going. The ability to really compress it down keeps it very well-balanced and weight-distributed, too.
The Kestrel has many amenity features, including lots of convenient pockets and extra little things to hold gear. The trekking pole bungees are extremely useful, and I've actually used them while on the trail. I have also used the built-in rain cover, which was an absolute lifesaver when hiking in a steady rain for over three hours. The hip belt pockets are great for a digital camera, and I found myself using them a lot for quick and easy access when it was time to take a shot.
There are about a million and one ways to adjust the pack and dial it in to your liking. I found tightening the sternum strap, making the hip belt as tight as possible, and using the load lifters really helps get the pack the way I want. Still, all these straps come with a price--if you're one of those people who don't like a lot of dangling straps, you might not like this pack. Taking care of that is just a matter of cutting them, though.
I have taken this pack backpacking in the Charles Deam Wilderness in Indiana, the Big South Fork in Tennessee, and even the Rockies. It has served me well everywhere I've taken it, and isn't even so much as shedding a thread. It almost looks as good as the day I bought it.
All in all, the Kestrel 48 is a pack that really can't be beat. The quality construction will last for years, and it will quickly become your "favorite pack" for all its cool features and custom adjustability. A world-class product.

Source: bought it new
Finally I think I have found 'my' pack. The Kestrel comes in two torso sizes and is lightweight for a multiday pack. It has several pockets and a place to lash on your poles. One nice feature is the zipper on bottom allowing you to access gear at the bottom of the pack easily.
- Well constructed
- Fairly lightweight for a multiday pack
- Access from the bottom of the pack
- Rain fly in its own storage pocket
- Nice waist belt
- Large pockets on each side of waist belt
As mentioned above, this pack comes in two torso sizes with several straps for adjusting to your own personal fit. The waist belt has 2 large zippered pockets for extra snacks or small gear you want quick access to.
There are 2 zippered pockets on the top; a mesh zippered pocket on underside of top of pack; 2 mesh pockets on the side and a large exterior pocket. There are several places to lash gear to the pack including a designated place to lash on your hiking poles. A rain fly is included in its own special pocket. Several straps help to compress your gear.
There is an exterior pocket for your hydration system.
I found the pack to be easily adjustable and extremely comfortable in both summer and winter hiking. I expect to get many years of hiking from this pack. Good job, Osprey!

Max. Load Carried: 35lbs
Height of Owner: 5'8"
The backpack is perfect for weekend trips, workout sessions, or minimalist week trips. I carry it every day when I do my 7 mile walk in the evenings with 30lbs of weight in it. I have carried it on weekend trips and I have carried it on week long trips of the AT.
I pack very light weight so it does a phenomenal job. I don't go anywhere without it and would suggest it to anyone. It carries the weight evenly and has plenty of pockets and storage. I liked the fact that I did not have to buy a rain cover because it comes with it.

This pack is great for shorter weekend trips if you're backpacking, but I also use it now as my main luggage for traveling as well. Great organization with different compartments, good size, and comfortable.
- Organization
- Comfortable
- Size is limiting for longer trips
The pack fits me very well, and the only issue I had was when I wore a sleeveless shirt—I got a rug burn-like chafe on my shoulders where the straps are.
It fits a reasonable amount of gear if you're doing a weekend trip, but I was pretty maxed out for a three-day trip. I would have liked a little more room.
The compartments make organization super easy, though the only complaint is that the side-zip pockets are hard to access with the compression straps all activated.
Overall comfortable pack that performs well, but doesn't have enough volume for a longer trip.

Great pack. Perfect three season, 3-4 day hiking trips. I'm 6'6" tall and was worried about the adjustability of this pack, but it makes carrying up to 40 pounds much more bearable than my old pack.
- Lightweight
- Storage pouches
- Suspension
- Built in rain cover
- Great range of adjustment built into straps
- Rain cover is built in, but it's red
- Main compartment is top opening only
Great pack. Very lightweight, durable and large range of adjustments in the straps. I struggled back and forth between this pack and the Volt, but for a three-season pack this is plenty big enough.
Very comfortable on up to 40 pounds, but haven't packed more than that yet either.

This is a pack that you can use day in and day out and not worry about it tearing up. Great support and can be used as a day pack comfortably.
- Back support
- Lifetime warranty
This pack is the most comfortable pack I own. The back support that contours to your back is fantastic. It has plenty of room, and can even be used as a day pack comfortably. The lifetime warranty that Osprey offers should be considered when purchasing a pack.

I am a backpacking guide in Grand Canyon and have used this pack for all day hikes since I bought it 2+ years ago. It is a fantastic day / overnight backpack! I have been so happy with this backpack I am looking into buying a Zenith 88 for the multi-day trips I lead.

Large in features and space, small in footprint.
- Very adjustable
- Lots of features
- Relatively lightweight
- Cumbersome hydration bladder pocket
As a larger guy, this pack does very well in the "fit" category. Much more flexibility than its sibling "Talon 22" (another Osprey I own). I'm also not the thinnest and the waist strap has plenty of room for girth adjustments.
Once on and adjusted properly, the pack is very comfortable. Users should be familiar with all the modern adjustment straps as this pack has them all.
The pack has a wide array of pockets and straps for storing gear, top, bottom, and sides. This allows for items of frequent use while on the go are available, and of course there is plenty of room for the rest of your gear in the main compartment.
The pack rides very well and feels very stable. Because of the packs ability to be compressed down to adjust for smaller loads, everything stays in its place as you make your way.
The trekking pole system works very well and is a great "on the go" feature. And take a close look at the sternum strap, you just might find a built in whistle
As with all the Osprey products, the construction is top notch. I've been using the pack for about three months now and have not noticed any unusual wear points.

Perfect winter pack.
- Comfort

- I'm not fond of the Trekking Pole strap location.
This is my mountaineering and winter pack. My snowshoes can be strapped to the back and all my winter gear fits inside. The waist belt has easy adjust straps. It is super comfortable and roomy and the durability is a plus. It has fantastic pocket space and just the right amount of loops for gear.
Osprey products are fantastic and I would buy from them again.

Max. Load Carried: 25
Height of Owner: 5' 9"

Having had several external frame packs I wanted to try a medium size internal frame backpack,and selected the Osprey Kestrel 48. It appears to be very well made and fits well.
I am 5' 9" and about 170 pounds. The literature said it has an internal divider between the lower zippered sleeping bag access and the main bag. As it turns out, it was a misprint according to Osprey. No big deal as I prefer a light weight stuff bag anyhow.
I started backpacking in 1965 in California, then to Wyoming, and currently am in Arizona. I am updating my gear this year in anticipation of retirement and putting in some trail miles.
Update: Summer 2012 have taken it on overnighters mainly, and basically love how it fits me. Easy to distribute gear and "becomes part of you" when hiking. So far, so good!

Height of Owner: 6'0 240
Price Paid: $150
I just used it for the first time on a long but short trip and climb, two days 28 miles. I couldn't ask for more in terms of a 1-3 night pack. I had room to spare and the comfort and fit for a 30-35 lbs load was incredible. The sto-and go for you hiking pole was the envy of the group. They work well.

A Very Social Week For AOL
Feb 21, 2014
As Social Media Week nears the finish line, what better way to give a little #FlashbackFriday than to take a look back at AOL's events over the past week?
From the panel we hosted on Tuesday, additional events throughout the week at our offices and our Twitter co-hosted cocktail reception on Thursday, AOL put itself on the social media map in New York for a long time to come.
Kicking off the week, The Huffington Post's Tim McDonald moderated a sold-out panel, "Is Social Killing Storytelling", on Tuesday afternoon. The panel featured an amazing lineup of panelists –including Mashable's CMO, Stacy Martinet and the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, James Bennet. Despite the inclement weather, we had a nearly-packed house and an additional 845 viewers who streamed the panel online.
Additionally, 250 social media influencers, AOL clients, journalists and digital media professionals attended the AOL and Twitter event, "You've Got Social" last night. To encourage the influential guests to share content from the event with their followers, we transformed every aspect of the event into a social media activation. Hundreds of people Tweeted together to unlock better drink options at the bar, request the next song played by the DJ, and strike a pose in our GIF booth.
We think it was a very social week for AOL, but don't just take our word for it: the infographic below provides a breakdown of AOL's Social Media Week by the numbers:
Wish you could have experienced AOL's Social Media Week for yourself? While we can't recreate the tweet powered bar or DJ, we can show you the thought-provoking panel, Is Social Killing Storytelling, here.
Social Media Week at @AOL by the numbers: 1422 posts, 13.6M social impressions, 845 panel live-stream viewers http://t.co/FV9a0dQVlU #SMWAOL

Hillary Clinton's criticism of President Obama's foreign policy raises serious questions – about her
Or was it just political posturing?
Vast reservoirs of ink have been shed over the potshots Hillary Clinton took at Barack Obama last week in an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic.
While the incident is surely overblown, I think it does introduce a dynamic that will play out over and over as long she is a candidate.
1. Loyalty. Mrs. Clinton chose to kick President Obama when he was down, not a classy thing to do. Not a loyal thing to do. Obama's approval ratings are at their lowest marks ever, dragged down mostly by troubles in distant lands.
Would she have taken a swing at the president if he were at the top of his game? What do you think? Still, this behavior is standard operating procedure in politics. Vice presidents and cabinet members do need to separate from the presidents they served, so there's nothing unique about HRC on that score.
But this is worrisome: Clinton also undermined the president she served at an extraordinarily complicated moment. Israel and Hamas were in an unconventional war. The last husk of the Iraqi government was withering as Islamic State militants were capturing strategic territory and threatening thousands of civilian lives. Russia and Ukraine remained in an unpredictable standoff. An outbreak of Ebola was threatening Africa.
Tossing a little political napalm on those fires was borderline irresponsible.
2. History, short-term. Mrs. Clinton criticized Obama for not having an overarching foreign policy strategy. Well, she was the man's Secretary of State for four years, wasn't that precisely her job? What was her grand vision? To visit as many countries as possible?
She said the administration's policy on Syria was a "failure." That's her administration, too. Wasn't she supposed to be in charge of making policy on Syria?
3. History, longer-term. Mrs. Clinton was one of 29 Democratic senators who voted to authorize the Iraq War. That is a hard vote to defend, especially for a Democrat.
Non-hawks wonder what she learned from the disaster in Iraq. She still is inclined to intervene in situations where the odds of success are negligible.
4. History, the husband. Just how is Obama's pragmatic, non-ideological foreign policy any different than her husband's?
Bill Clinton was reluctant to use force. He did in Bosnia, but got out of Somalia as soon as there were casualties. He refused to intervene in a desperate Rwanda. He engaged with China and tried to boost new democracies. He tried and failed to broker progress between Israel and the Palestinians.
He didn't have a Kissingerian geopolitical logo for his foreign policy either. He also didn't have to deal with exploding Islamist terrorism, an Arab Spring that turned into a human rights winter or aggressive Russian nationalism.
5. Fellow Democrats. These criticisms have mostly come from Democrats. Republicans have been cheering her on.
So these are the five ingredients that will compose the anti-Hillary dynamic, fair or unfair: her character, her record in the Cabinet, her record in the Senate, her husband and her enemies in the party that rejected her eight years ago.
Lucky her for there is one giant missing factor: a Democratic opponent.

SilverTree Media has been knocking it out of the park with their roster of games. The robotic platformer Cordy was awesome, the vertical jumping spin-off Cordy Sky was solid, and the creative arcade title Sleepy Jack was just sublime. Now, they've gone back to their roots and brought us Cordy 2, and this little robot received one heck of an upgrade. With smooth platforming and creative levels, Cordy 2 is pretty much everything a platform game fan would want.
This time around, Cordy and Volt have crash landed on a new planet, where the mechanical inhabitants are enslaved by the tyrant Boogaloo. Yes, that's really his name, with all the enemies having the word "Boogie" somewhere in their names. It's up to Cordy to stop him with new abilities, new friends, and a host of new adventures across three beautifully rendered worlds.
Cordy 2 Android App Review – AndroidApps.com
Today: My favorite new platformer on Android. A review of Cordy 2 by http://www.AndroidApps.com/ App: Cordy 2 Price: Free ($4.99 for full) The price depicted is at the time of this review, and could easily be changed.
Despite the kid-friendly approach to aesthetics, this game is really quite hardcore. Just beating every level will not be enough to progress. Each level has up to three stars to earn; one for reaching the end, one for finding all the volts, and one for beating the level within a time limit. Later levels are blocked off unless you have enough stars, so you'll have to go back and replay old levels if you don't have enough. That's not really an issue though, as levels are simply a joy. They're non-linear, pleasing to the eye, with plenty of nooks and crannies hiding secret areas.
Cordy's base abilities include a double jump, plus a grappling hook that he can use to swing from certain nodes or access teleportation circuits. Now, through plenty of helpful friendly robots that he wears like backpacks, he can do a lot more. Magnetbot lets him stick to surfaces and use free speed boosts, Smashbot lets him break block obstacles, his old pal Volt turns into a jetpack, and Copterbot is used in levels that are just like the Flash game Helicopter, or more recently, Jetpack Joyride. Fully exploring every level with these different abilities is more than satisfying.
With top notch visuals and sound, a fleshed out robotic world, bonus challenge levels that you can purchase with gears, which are more like puzzles than full levels, and even customization options for Cordy, there is no shortage of things to love about Cordy 2. Now, the first four levels are free to try, and the full game will cost you five dollars. I know that's pricier than other games, but the content more than backs up the price tag. It is definitely worth checking out for anyone who has ever enjoyed a platformer.
