Just stopped in for a cup of coffee and to say hello and wish you guys a injury free game next Sunday. We are an improved team this year but I don't think we are ready to handle one of the leagues elite just yet. Anyway the season is under way and I am ready for some football.
Don't walk into this game looking down the road...just a bit of advice.

[The cameras fade in to a pyro extravaganza raining blue and green fireworks over a darkened ring in the center of the arena]
Jim Ross: Hello, folks and welcome to an action-packed night in the LGPWF. We are coming live to you from a sold out Verizon Center in your nation's capital.
Jerry Lawler: JR, this crowd is electric (boogie woogie woogie)
Jim Ross: Jesus, Jerry. Did you just stoop to that?
Jerry Lawler: At least Im not slinging BBQ sauce..that would be pathetic
[Awkward silence]
Jim Ross: Well, anyway, the first match of the night will be between the…
[The lights go out and Michael Jackson's Thriller begins to play. The crowd is ambivalent.]
Jim Ross: Here we go, King. The man known as Some Handsome Ass Dude makes his way to the ring and I cant say that hes been shy about the awkwardness of his shtick, King.
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, JR. This guy thinks hes the king of pop…Im the only king around here!
[The music stops and the lights go dark. Patton's Colors plays and the crowd, representing the capital of the USA, gives a patriotic cheer. Ronaldus Magnus runs from behind the LGPWFtron, gives a hearty salute, and marches his way to the ring]
Jim Ross: Here we go, folks!!
The Patriot, Magnus signals to the crowd and then charges towards SHAD who is still busy trying to take off his red leather jacket. SHAD is fleet of foot and dodges the attack, sending Magnus into the turnbuckle. The crowd boos furiously and SHAD grabs his crotch and laughs. Shad grabs the back of Magnus' head and throws him backwards to the mat. SHAD moonwalks to the side of the ring, charges to a full sprint into the other rope, and before he drops a vicious elbow, removes the singular glove. A true ode to the people's elbow—the crowd gives a cheer. Magnus pops up from the mat and both men are standing once more. The Two men engage in a classic test of strength to which SHAD, clearly in the losing end of the contest, drops to a knee, grabs Magnus' crotch and screams towards the crowd, "WOOO HOOO" a la Michael Jackson. Magnus is not phased and drops a double axehandle to the spine of SHAD. Magnus grabs the legs of SHAD, flips him over, and twists his legs around into a Dean Malenko-esque texas clover leaf. SHAD is writhing in pain as he reaches for the ropes. The ref watches intently as SHAD is mere inches away from freedom. He continues to reach, desperately, but to no avail. SHAD finally succumbs to the torment and taps on the mat.
Jim Ross: What an entertaining match to kick off the show, King. It had it all—crazy dance moves, ball grabbing, two men pretzeling into a grotesque display.
Jerry Lawler: You know, JR, you are really starting to creep me out.
Jim Ross: Thanks, king. That's my new goal.
Jerry Lawler: Um… okay? Well, before I get thrown into a hostel-type situation, lets get to our next match.
[Led Zeppelin's Kashmir plays as a thunder/lightning display shoots across the LGPWFtron. Zane A. Sylum's devious gait fastens as he struts to the ring in his trademarked hoodie]
[The Arena goes dark. Before the entrance music could be played, the crowd roars in a frenzy "BRIDGE, BRIDGE, BRIDGE"]
[Springsteen's The River plays and the crowd sings along. The Bridge comes out and the place is at a fever pitch. The Bridge is donning the World Title Belt and it shines like none other as a single spotlight follows him to the ring. He climbs in, takes off the title belt, and hands it to the referee. The Bridge goes to shake Zane's hand and Zane smacks it away]
Zane smacks The Bridge in the mouth and the crowd is enraged. The Bridge stares at Sylum with the eyes of a killer. Zane backpeddles and scurries underneath the bottom rope and begins to walk towards the ramp. You can read his lips saying "Im out of here. No way." The Bridge follows Sylum out of the ring and right as The Bridge goes to grab the man, Zane turns around and gives The Bridge a vicious clothesline to the floor surrounding the ring. Zane is insensed. He seems to barely be hanging on to his emotions and his overall mental stability. He begins to furiously stomp on The Bridge. The Bridge catches Zane's fifth attempt and twists the attack into a takedown. The men begin to throw punches and The Bridge ends up throwing Zane back into the squared circle. The Bridge locks up with Zane, lifts him above his in a dramatized Goldberg-ian delayed vertical suplex powerslam.
The Crowd is chanting once more. The Bridge goes for the pin! 1… 2…
[The arena lights go out. A now too familiar orange glow begins to pulse on the LGPWFtron and it is the only light in the entire place. The pulse quickens and brightens as well. 25 seconds pass and the orange light quickly disappears. A voice mutters the single phrase, "See you soon" The Arena lights return]
Jerry Lawler: OH MY GOD, JR! THE BRIDGE IS KNOCKED OUT ON THE MAT AND ZANE IS ON TOP OF HIM
The referee stands confused and after looking at the ring official, slides to the mat and begins to count a pinfall for Zane A. Sylum. 1… 2… 3!!!!!!
[The Bridge recovers as the crowd cheers for him. He grabs the mic.
The Bridge: You know what, Bully…or or should I say *****, next week, the hiding in the shadows ends. You will meet me in this ring next Monday Night.
[The Crowd chants "BRIDGE, BRIDGE, BRIDGE"]
Jim Ross: WHAT A SCREWJOB, KING! THE MATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED A DQ. OUR CHAMPION HAS BEEN DEFEATED. THAT BULLY FELLER BETTER SHOW UP NEXT WEEK!
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, but it was a non-title bout, JR.
[Stargazer, by Rainbow plays and the crowd goes wild. They begin to chant "EL GEE PEE. EL GEE PEE. EL GEE PEE." The neurotic Stargazer awkwardly walks to the ring, with ill intentions on his mind, as OB GYN Kenobi is there waiting for him, kendo stick in hand.]
Kenobi pulls the kendo stick from his waist as if it were a lightsaber and chokes up. He swings mightily at Stargazer's head and connects. Stargazer's brow is burst right open as the crimson begins to flow. Stargazer is unphased, wiping the blood from his brow and tasting it. He smiles eerily. Kenobi drops the kendo stick and jumps out of the ring—he begins to dig under the ring for goodies stashed by the commissioner's henchmen and Stargazer slowly walks to the corner turnbuckle and waits for him to return. Kenobi comes out from the ring drapery with a satchel of goodies and hucks it into the ring. The contents spew out as they slam to the mat. It's a veritable Hunger Games-like cornucopia of riches. Brass knuckles, tacks, a staple gun, and a small box labeled "do not use; vicious" Stargazer patiently wrings his hands like a man ready to devour a meal.
Kenobi picks up the brass knuckles and the staple gun. He charges at the bloodied Stargazer who very suavely dodges the attack. Stargazer grabs the arm of Kenobi that has the staple gun and turns it on himself. Stargazer begins to staple his own head! Kenobi is horrified at the amount of juice flowing from the head of his opponent. Stargazer grabs the other arm of Kenobi and begins to bash his mouth the knuckles of brass. Stargazer spits a cocktail of blood and a tooth in the frightened Kenobi's face. Stargazer rushes to the satchel and procures the bag of tacks and sprinkles them on the mat near Kenobi. The knuckles are turned to Kenobi and he begins to wobble as punch after punch lands on the man, opening a hearty wound on the man's right cheek. The crowd begins to chant the number of times the brass smacks skin. "7… 8… 9…" And Stargazer stops. Kenobi is wobbling and looks punch drunk. The crowd is beginning a "wwwhooooaaaa" chant anticipating the wrestler to fall into the pile of pain. And unfortunately for Kenobi, he does. Stargazer goes back to the satchel as the crow chants "EL GEE PEE" once more. He grabs the mystery box, pries it open and finds a strap. A strap much like he used in the Wrestle Revolution rumble, but this one is improved. Stargazer's eyes light up as he removes the strap from the box, revealing a mangled strain of leather wrapped in thorns—A macabre amalgamation of horror. Stargazer runs over to the tack-riddled Kenobi and wraps the strap around his chest. The screams Kenobi emit are horrific. After 20 seconds of sheer terror, the referee calls the match.
[The medical staff hurries to what looks like an opening scene of "The First 48". Stargazer goes back to the corner turnbuckle and slyly leans as if it were no big deal, blood streaming down his face. The referee throws a mangled, rusted belt in the general direction of Stargazer and runs off. Stargazer looks at the belt, looks at the crowd, and then leans over and through the ropes. Stargazer walks away]
Jerry Lawler: What a bloody mess that was. Reminds me of this girl I was with in 9th gra…
Jim Ross: Alright, King. No one wants to hear that.
Jerry Lawler: You sure about that, JR?
Jim Ross: Im pretty sure of that one, bub.
Jerry Lawler: Is it main event time yet?
Jim Ross: Most definitely.
[Fugazi's Break plays and Johnny Zontal, who is all business, runs to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. This is followed by Creed's My Own Prison. Munson fixes his tie on the runway and sloppily tries to tuck in his button down shirt. He awkwardly climbs the ring stairs and waits outside the ring, eyeing up Johnny Zontal. Both men turn their attention to the LGPWFtron as Billy Gunn's entrance music plays for the man known as Too Sexy.]
The three men walk to the center of the ring as the referee tells them how he will be running the match. The Firm ignores the ref's words and levels Johny Zontal. [DING, DING, DING] Too Sexy acts quickly as well and begins to stomp on the now laid out Zontal. Munson doesn't appreciate the man getting in on his agenda and whips Too Sexy into the corner turnbuckle. The Firm climbs the rope in the corner and begins to pound on Styles' face. The crowd counts along with the punches. "4…5…6…" As the crowd reaches 8, Zontal is on the prowl and scoops in to grap Munson off of the second rope and lifts him into a vicious tiger bomb. Munson and Styles both lay on the mat as Zontal signals to the crowd in celebration. He regains focus and runs over to Munson, wrapping the disheveled tie around his neck, cutting off his oxygen supply. Munson is furiously kicking, writhing in agony. He desperately reaches for Zontal's eyes and rakes them. Zontal grabs at his own face in pain and the move is nullified. Too Sexy takes advantage of their feud and regains his footing, bounces off the far ropes and baseball slides into Munson's face, making a horrific thud.
The egotistical Styles pops back to his feet and runs quickly to the near corner, top rope. He gyrates his hips and leaps. A vicious frogsplash lands directly on Zontal who was still grabbing at his face. All three men lay on the mat grabbing their wounded parts and the crowd is electric "EL GEE PEE, EL GEE PEE, EL GEE PEE" Styles is the first to his feet and grabs at the helm of The Firm. He lifts him to his feet, cocks back, and is defended trying to deliver the right handed punch. Munson brings Styles in for a hug and executes a strong belly to belly suplex—quite the agile move for Munson. Zontal takes advantage of the situation and drops his body on both men. Zontal rolls over and covers Styles …1…2…3!
Zontal celebrates his win as the #1 contender.
[Pantera's Walk plays and the commissioner comes out from behind the LGPWFtron, mic in hand. The crowd's cheers turn to boos]
Canaan: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast, Johnny boy. I don't know what you're celebrating for. The road to the LGPWF title isn't paved in taking advantage of other people's efforts. You've got another wrestler in that ring just as worthy as you are. Just because you beat Styles doesn't mean The Firm is eliminated. Get back at it.
[Canaan throws the mic down the runway and stares at the ring]
[Zontal is furious. He turns to Munson just in time for Munson to clothesline him to the mat.]
Munson grabs the head of Zontal and pulls him to the corner where he forces a boot against his face. Zontal screams in pain as The Firm's smile increases. Zontal lunges his leg out and kicks Munson in the thigh. The kick does enough to loosen the boot off of Zontal and he rolls out of the ring. The referee begins a count out. Zontal regains himself outside of the ring, but begins to scream at the announcer's table. The only words that are audible are "This should be over. This is bull****" Munson comes outside of the ring and the two men engage by the announcer's table. Zontal wins a lock up and slams the big man into the announcer's table smashing it to bits. Zontal sneaks back in the ring at a 7 count and the referee continues the count out count. Munson is unable to make it back to the ring in time and referee calls for the bell!
[Zontal celebrates again. This is it! His chance to prove to the LGPWF what he's really made of!]
[Pantera's Walk plays and the familiar nemesis comes out of the curtain once more]
Canaan: Joooo-o-o-ohny, tsk tsk tsk. A countout? Really? You think that some outdated, bs way of ending a match is gonna be enough to win a shot at our world championship title?
[Zontal is baffled at the arrogance of the commissioner. His hands up in disgust]
Canaan: (looking at the ref) Do you want me to come down there and do your job for you? This isn't that other Wrestling promotion with bull**** endings—lets do it legit.
Munson sneaks up on Zontal, grabs his leg from behind and rolls him up for a pin attempt. 1… 2… KICK OUT! In the nick of time, Zontal avoids the cheap pinfall.
Jim Ross: (sarcasm) I wonder if the good ole' commish would've let that one stand.
Munson attacks again for a pinfall, but Zontal fights him off with a flurry of punches.
[Canaan is now ringside watching the match]
Zontal and Munson get to brawling. The two men take their back and forth blows outside of the ring, within arm's length of the commissioner. Zontal gets the better of brawling and whips Munson into the corner post. A loud thud rings and Munson is out cold. Zontal picks up his limp body and rolls him back into the ring. Zontal signals to the crowd, who is now insanely behind the anti-commissioner wrestler. That signal means only one thing—The Horizontal. Johnny picks up Munson, holds him up in a dominator position, underhooks his opponent's arms, and then swings him around into a double armed DDT—a vicious maneuver. The cover… 1..23!
Zontal celebrates a 3rd time, but Canaan grabs the mic once more
Canaan: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? THAT WAS THE QUICKEST PIN COUNT I'VE EVER SEEN?!? This match is under review. (five second pause) The review finds that the pin count was too quick and this match, while it may stand for now, will be a rematch between the two of you next week.
Zontal: I won fair and square… 3 times.
Canaan: The way I see it is you either take the re-match or you forfeit and Munson takes your place as the #1 contender…what say you?
[The crowd chants "You're an ***hole" and Zontal smirks as he gives the Verizon Center patrons a confirming nod]
Canaan: I don't have all day…what's your answer?
Zontal: I guess I don't have a choice.
Canaan: Good. So it's settled. And just to make sure that the match is called on the level, Ill be volunteering myself to oversee the proceedings
[The ***hole chants are deafening. Canaan starts to laugh. He drops the mic and walks off. The screen fades to black as Zontal stands on the middle rope corner yelling at Canaan as he walks to the back and the ref is checking on The Firm's knocked out body]
SHAD v. Too Sexy (Hardcore title match spot at the PPV)

Remembering Knebworth
Yes, I was there and I can remember it pretty well. I was 22 years old and traveled with a friend of mine by train from our hometown Moosburg near Munich to London. We bought an interrail ticket. We stayed the two nights before at a campground in the suburbs of London. It was so windy there, that the tent broke and we must buy a new one. We travelled to Knebworth from Victoria by train.
It was the most amazing concert I´ve ever seen. At that times I visited nearly every rock concert in Munich, but the atmosphere of Knebworth was unbeatable.
After the concert we returned back to Victoria.Station. It was abou 3.30am. We had no more money left, so we asked cab drivers to take us for free and we really found one.
Greetings to all old and young LedZep fans

Level and Type of External Accountability
In designing charter school legislation, policymakers have focused a great deal of attention on the specifics of the authorizer-charter school bargain (i.e., that charter schools are given certain freedoms as long as they produce results). If charter school leaders cannot improve student performance, operate a financially viable organization, and satisfy parents who have a choice about whether to send their children to this school, then the school will be closed. On the other hand, if a school meets and exceeds the terms of its charter, it can continue to operate and even expand.
Fig. 15: Policy-related Factors That Affect the Quality of Charter Authorizing
As with any bargain, there are two sides to this relationship. The research literature19 and the focus of charter school legislation itself indicate that policymakers have given far less attention to the authorizer side of the bargain. What happens if the authorizer does not set up a rigorous screening process? Monitor schools consistently? Hold schools accountable for results? Experience suggests that student performance suffers if these responsibilities are not carried out.
So, how should policymakers hold authorizers accountable for their performance? What types of entities should oversee the authorizer? What should they monitor? How should they measure results? How much oversight is desirable, and how much would be burdensome? What role, if any, should the public play in this process?
Charter school legislation regarding authorizer oversight varies greatly from state to state, both in terms of what agencies provide the oversight and what their roles are. To move toward a more coherent policy, one that manages the balance between responsible oversight and freedom to act, policymakers need to know more about what works best. The experiences of the authorizers featured in this guide offer some insights into what types of entities generally hold authorizers accountable and how they exercise their oversight responsibilities, but there is more work to be done to determine how authorizers themselves should be held accountable for overseeing a system of high-performing schools. By directing more resources to examine these emerging questions, policymakers, foundations, advocacy groups, and government offices could improve our understanding of what level and type of oversight is most desirable.20
On the surface, there are multiple levels of oversight for the authorizing staff in the Ferris State University Charter Schools Office. Staff members report to the university's vice president for academic affairs and the dean of extended learning, and, ultimately, to the university Board of Trustees, which has the final say on all decisions about charter approval, renewal, and closure. But in actuality, these offices rarely intervene in the operations of the authorizing office. Neither the university administrators nor the board sets policy or guides the office's mission. Instead, they focus on the big picture: ensuring that no charter school poses a serious risk to its students, its community, or the university. This hands-off role leaves the daily work and decision-making to the authorizing staff, which has the expertise and tools to work most effectively with its schools.
Authorizers in Massachusetts, New York, and California make recommendations to state-level bodies that ultimately grant charters and approve closures. In California, this takes the form of an appointed Advisory Commission on Charter Schools that makes recommendations to the State Board of Education, which then makes all final decisions. Through advocacy, presentations, and annual reports, the California charter office answers to both of these groups for the integrity of its relationship with its schools and for the quality of their academic performance. The situation in Massachusetts, where the statewide authorizer is the only authorizer, is similar. The Massachusetts office answers directly to the state commissioner of education, who makes recommendations to the Massachusetts Board of Education. The state board ultimately makes all decisions. The NYC Office of Charter Schools also makes recommendations to the NYC public schools chancellor who then proposes them to a legislatively empowered board—the New York State Board of Regents—for final decisions regarding charter approval, renewal, and closure.
In the cases of Massachusetts and California, the state board almost always follows the charter office's recommendation. This is not the case with NYC, where the New York State Board of Regents has been known to reject the recommendations made by the charter office. This situation is attributable in large part to differing levels of risk tolerance. In general, the NYC Office of Charter Schools is more open to innovative school models than the Board of Regents. When the Board of Regents disagrees with the proposed leadership, education focus, or location of a new charter school, its word is final.
Because of the way the charter school law is structured in Minnesota, the state commissioner of education ultimately approves and renews the charter, but the authorizing staff acts as a "sponsor" in the sense that it is responsible for ongoing oversight responsibilities. The state education commissioner in Minnesota does occasionally deny an application, particularly if the commissioner does not believe the authorizer will implement strong oversight practices.
As part of the Volunteers of America of Minnesota (VOA of MN), the Charter School Sponsorship Program also answers to the board of directors of this larger nonprofit for key aspects of its operations, such as its mission and budget. Yet it has a lot of freedom to design its own processes and to make decisions. The CEO of its parent organization—VOA of MN—is actively involved to the extent that he participates in the application process and is familiar with the processes and the schools, but the charter office director and school liaison have built the actual day-to-day operations themselves. They have created the materials and processes, and they field all school inquiries.
In every state with a charter school law, the state itself is ultimately responsible for the quality of education offered by charter schools. State policymakers can meet this responsibility by holding the authorizing organizations that directly monitor charter school quality accountable for results. In order to do so, the individuals who sit on these oversight bodies—the state board of education, the board of the larger nonprofit (as is the case with VOA of MN), and the university board of trustees (as is the case with FSU and SUNY)—must themselves be familiar with strong authorizing practices.

Guy on third, no outs, 3 and 4 hitters up..
No runs.
Sent from my HTC Rezound using Tapatalk
I feel this team on the verge of another collapse after just climbing out of the drain. Marshall,Marshall.................Marshall.
Our # 3 and 4 hole hitters who combine to about $320 million Have been positively HORRIBLE this year unacceptable
Rolen just short as well.
Abad throwing BP tonight.
Outstanding CF play by Jordan Shaffer...goodness
Rolen has made 3 outs and should have no less than 2 doubles.
Still a lousy effort tonight --
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
keep depending on leake rolen etc guarantee for third or fourth place, why not depend on Mike Schmidt
Rolen was excellent tonight.....3 line drives in 4 AB.....about all you can do.
Defense sucked and approaches sucked with 2 runs in and runners on
They said Cairo is coming back off the DL on Monday. Who goes down?
I feel pretty confident the Reds will get back to .500 with Cueto and Latos coming up. Then it is our bottom three against a very good Pittsburgh staff. Of course, the Pirates can't hit at all. 4 out of 5 would be sweet.

Foreign broadcasters shut down for Cambodian elections
How far has democracy advanced in Cambodia?
Not very far.
Activists from three different political parties died during the 15-day campaign period leading up to the elections, in which the ruling Cambodian People's Party won a large majority of seats, according to a report issued by the Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (Comfrel). The Phnom Penh Post ran articles on "allegations of intimidation, ghost voting, and electoral-roll sabotage" in the election, and the U.S. government-funded Voice of America (VOA) published a story headlined "Observers: Cambodian Vote Improved but Problems Remain."

This is my first post. I live in Miami Fl and I have been keeping bees for about six years (still learning) I have had my current hive for about two years, but have come across a few problems. About a few weeks ago, after a beetle problem, my bees absconded, but they left behind brood and honey, which is not normal. I re-captured my bees and put them in another hive. After three weeks they seemed to be doing fine (although there numbers greatly decreased to about 12,000), laying eggs and collecting honey. Then, this afternoon, I discovered that they have left again to the same tree, this time only about 4,000 bees were there, and they once again left there brood. I was able to recapture them again, but I'm not sure if they are going to make it.
My question is, why are the leaving behind brood. I don't know why they left the second time, they had syrup and no beetles or other problems as far as I can tell. They have been in the same location for about 2 years.

The 7 Top Wines for Thanksgiving Dinner
<p>Master Sommelier Chris Tanghe whets our palates with these seven wines to try alongside our turkey dinner. </p>
Not sure how to pick a fantastic wine to pair with your grandma's turkey recipe? Have no fear. Playboy.com brings you Seattle-based Sommelier Chris Tanghe's top picks. Tanghe suggests a fine crop of vinos to complement your holiday, your budget and your taste.
Why not give them all a whirl?
Syrah has such a delicious savory quality that is perfect with the foods of Thanksgiving. Washington State in particular has the amazing ability to provide lush and ample black fruits to complement the savory backbone: black plum skin, blackberries and boysenberry with bacon fat, black pepper, sweet tobacco and juniper. The Reynvaan family are relatively new to the Washington wine scene as their first vintage was 2007, but they have quickly risen to producing some of the top wines of the state.
Old-school Syrah from the northern Rhone filled with violets, venison jerky, cardamom, roasted beets, roasted tart black fruits and rosemary. This wine is perfect with turkey and stuffing with bacon, herbs and gravy. It has richness and complexity heightened by bright acidity that has the wine leaping out of the glass. Levet is a traditionalist that has inspired many makers of Syrah.
One of the greatest premier cru vineyards made by a rising star. Mr. Piuze's first vintage was 2008 and he has been killing it since. Vinified from 70-plus-year-old vines that see just a touch of oak, this wine is defined by a crystalline minerality of oyster shells rounded out with Golden Delicious apple, baked pear, lemon confit and soft cheese rind. Buy as much as you can find as it's going to age magnificently. A top choice for the cheese course.
Riesling might very well be the most versatile food wine out there, and this is a superb dry example from one of Germany's top winemakers. Grown in the Felsenberg vineyard from the small but powerful 2010 vintage, it explodes with Rainier cherries, slate, stargazer lilies, pink grapefruit and snappy acidity. Sweet potato anything will have you pouring a second glass of this.
Blood orange, high-toned dried red flowers, raspberry and currants wash across the palate with silky tannins. Grown in one of California's cooler AVAs, this progressive style is at the forefront of a stylistic shift happening right now that is a fresh perspective on what Pinot Noir can be in the new world. Pass the cranberry sauce please!
Barolo is my desert island wine without a doubt. It seduces you with its amazing power combined with a finesse that you wouldn't expect from a wine with monstrous tannins and acid. This vineyard is one of the best (and most underrated) sites in the zone. It possesses a dense core of tart but sweet red fruits with layers of anise, mushroom, sweet tobacco, truffle, ash and perfume. You could eat anything with this and be a happy human.
Old vine Albarino from green Spain that has incredible density and verve that reminds you of the most perfectly ripe stone fruit you've ever tasted. Nectarines, honeydew melon, tarragon, crushed stone and apple blossom fills the mouth and is the perfect aperitif wine before a big meal.
Chris Tanghe resides in Seattle and is the Wine & Service Director for the contemporary Spanish restaurant Aragona. He is a native of the East Coast and has lived all over the continental U.S.

We've Merged!October 02, 2014
Tomorrow, 9/15, at 9am EST our big brand merging sale will begin! Here are a few things to note about the event:
1. All sales are final.
2. The first 25 orders will receive a FREE gift with purchase!
3. Prices will be marked with the sale prices. No discount code will be needed, but if you have one then go on and use it :)
4. Quantities are very limited on some items and once they are gone, they're gone for good. (A little more on that: we do not plan on carrying over any of the pillows, totes, tea towels or older garments so you'll want to get them while you can.)
5. The sale will run through October 1st.
I think that's it! I hope that you'll get a chance to grab something for yourself or as a gift for someone else while these great deals are available!
Well....what are you still reading this for? Get to shoppin'!

Hello! I know it has been pretty quiet around this space, and a bit neglected if I am being honest. We have some changes on the horizon in regards to our brands and the way things are structured, which will make everything a bit more streamlined and easier to manage.
Here's what's up. October 1st, we are launching a brand new site for The Paper Cub Co. and with it we will be merging sass&peril into this new store, but as one singular brand. Managing two separate businesses has proven a bit tough and has me spread too thin, which causes me to have to put one brand before the other. This past year we have been devoting a lot of time and energy in TPC Co. and I am very excited with the direction it has taken. We are not closing sass&peril down for good in the sense of designs. Our Modern Animals collection will very much be alive and well when we merge and we will still be adding new products, just under TPC Co. Moving forward I feel it will be good to house everything under one cohesive brand. One change, however, will be the omission of textile goods, at least for the time being. We are planning on bringing over just the paper goods so the pillows, onesies, tea towels, and totes will no longer be offered. That is why we decided to hold a big store merging sale offering deep discounts on these products (the entire store, actually) so that we may "pack lightly" as we move into our new site. The big sale will start Sept. 15th over in our sass&peril Etsy shop. (Shopping capability has been paused for this current site, so that is now the only place to shop the s&p collection.) There will be no discount code, the prices will simply be marked down, but if you have a code from us you can still use it on top of the savings! I will post more details toward the end of the week, but I wanted to go ahead and share what changes were on the horizon and give you a chance to mark your calendars for the sale. Thank you all for your support with sass&peril over the years. I very much look forward to what's to come!0 COMMENTS
Big news in sass&peril land! Four, yes FOUR, of our designs are available at The Land of Nod as framed prints for their Fall collection! Apart from being framed, these pieces have backgrounds, even faux-wood textures for a few of them. I've done commissions for the LON before, but having my own designs associated with them is a huge accomplishment for my little business. I've always regarded the LON and the artists they work with as top notch so it is an honor to be part of the "club". (It's also proof that if you keep on chugging, and take risks to put yourself out there, it can really pay off!)
Hop on over to The Land of Nod's site and check out all the new goodies, there are some really great collections with designs for every personality and style.
We're over at Zulily for the next few days with a big sale on our geometric and modern animals screenprints! You can save big by purchasing during this three day sale, but remember that our screenprints are limited so you've got to act quick! Shop the sale here.2 COMMENTS
Just a reminder that our 40% Blowout Sale is still going strong, but there are only 4 more days left to get this deal! Any purchase of $20 or more qualifies you to take 40% off your entire purchase using the code: 40OFF20. Come Saturday Feb. 1st, the deal will expire so go on and get some stuff at a really great discount!
// Shop ETSY or right here in our WEBSHOP//
I also wanted to share the new 2014 screenprinted Valentine's Day cards over in our sister shop, The Paper Cub Co. Our "Be Mine" screenprinted card has been a top seller along with our ever popular metallic "Gold Hearts" card. We've got a love-themed card for just about any occasion so check out the rest of the collection here, and if you spend $50 you can get free shipping WORLDWIDE using code: SHIP50.0 COMMENTS
We're having a pretty amazing sale right now on the entire shop (or over on Etsy) where if you spend at least $20, you get to take 40% OFF of your order! We're shaking things up for 2014 and need to clear some space in the studio and in our online shops. Take advantage and stock up, as it may be the last time you'll be able to purchase some of these products! All you have to do us use the code: "40OFF20" at checkout and it is good for the entire month of January.
Happy shopping!0 COMMENTS
UPDATE 12/21- The deadline for Christmas Day arrival has officially passed.
The Holidays are fast approaching, so make sure you take note of our important Holiday ship dates below! Today, December 9th, is the deadline for First Class International deliveries. Please contact us for any questions regarding shipping or if you need to expedite your shipping.
>>> Shop our clearance sale here! <<<
If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. you'd have seen our Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale post, but I wanted to pop in and share the special here since it runs not only Friday, but today through Monday. Please let me say that I cringe at bombarding you guys with this stuff, so I haven't posted it here on the blog yet. Honestly, I took yesterday off to spend some quality time with my family and stay off the internet and it felt great :) Today we are doing some shopping at small businesses in my hometown and hoping to find some vintage treasures as well! I hope that more people will do the same today and shop the locally-owned businesses that create the patchwork of our communities. I love knowing that the money I spend at these shops stays within the respective neighborhoods and supports the dreams of the shop proprietors.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend checkout the deals of our small business below :)
We're also doing free shipping over at The Paper Cub Co. on orders of $25 or more.
New to the shop are these super adorable Modern Animal Temporary Tattoos! They come four 2" tattoos to one sheet so you can simply cut them into four squares to apply each one individually. These are sure to put a smile on your little one's face, or hey, sport them yourself! Our temporary tattoos are non-toxic and 100% safe, being FDA certified for direct dermal contact. They'd make excellent party favors or stocking stuffers this holiday season, and you can buy some for yourself right here.3 COMMENTS
Have you heard the news? A greeting card from our Paper Cub Co. collection is now available at Urban Outfitters! This is our 3 color split-fountain screenprinted Thank You card, completely hand-drawn then printed by hand as well. I was so excited when they contacted us in regards to this design as it was a bit of an experiment when it comes to printing. Each card is totally unique and will have slight variations in color and blend so you're getting a special one-of-a kind card. (On a side note, that picture above just doesn't do the color fade justice, you really have to see this one in person!)
Also worth mentioning today, we are working up some deals for Black Friday weekend and will be releasing the discount codes via newsletter and on Facebook- s&p / tpc. If you're not signed up or a fan of ours make sure you get on the list so you can receive the deals!3 COMMENTS
In the madness of our move I neglected to mention a fun opportunity we have going with Oopsy Daisy, fine art for kids. We've teamed up with them to bring you an assortment of our designs on stretched canvas! You'll notice small little changes we've made to our current designs, such as adding a faux wood texture or slight patterns in the background for this special project. Each canvas print is stretched by hand over a 1.5" wood frame. They are super durable and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. There are a handful of sizes to choose from for these canvas prints, 10" x 14" or a whopping 18" x 24" as well as square sizes. Need a frame as well? They've got that. Right now they are having a site-wide 20% off sale, but it ends today so you've got to act quick!

Excerpt: "In their Week 7 matchup at MetLife Stadium, the Redskins were dominant on the ground. Led by rookie running back Alfred Morris and fellow rookie sensation Robert Griffin III, Washington confused the Giants with a unique option attack and slashed through the defense to the tune of 248 rushing yards. Morris registered 22 carries for 120 yards. Griffin needed just nine rushes for 89 yards. Still, the Giants won 27-23.
They meet again on Monday night and Antrel Rolle believes the solution for stopping the run is simple: the Giants need to be more physical.
"Well, I think we have to be more dominant," Rolle said today in a radio interview on WFAN. "We have to understand how to try to attack them and how they're going to try to come downhill and make sure we're the most physical group on the field. That's pretty much it: Winning your battle, do your job and make sure you're the most physical football team and everything else will take care of itself."
Morris, a sixth-round pick out of Florida Atlantic, has rushed for 982 yards and six touchdowns through 11 games. Griffin has 642 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
Griffin, of course, isn't limited to just making plays with his feet. RGIII torched the Cowboys and Eagles defenses each of the last two weeks through the air, tossing four touchdown passes in each win. He now has 16 touchdowns to just four interceptions and has thrown for 2,504 yards. His completion percentage is at 67.5, an astounding number for a rookie signal caller.
"I wouldn't say he's been the toughest [matchup]. I think he's definitely been the most agile we've faced," Rolle said from Miami where he will be for the next couple days getting treatment on his knee before returning for practice Thursday. "But all those guys, they present their own threats. All those guys are great quarterbacks in their own ways. You're going to have some that are going to be more accurate than others, some that are going to have stronger arms, some that are going to extend the play longer than others. And he's definitely a guy that can extend the play. He can make each and every play. All guys are great quarterbacks. Each guy just presents different threats and challenges." Read more...

PlayBook: The No More Fun Club
Sixteen teams are out, which means sixteen more are in on only eight spots. PlayBook breaks down the winners and losers for Week 17.
It's Week 17 now, the end of line for any team without at least eight wins of which there are plenty. The Bears and a whole flurry of birds for instance have rustled up no more than seven and any team - save the Patriots - even vaguely associated with some bygone historical figure are all but buried on the bottom on pile. Even the Chargers, whose season started with so much promise are outsiders now and we won't waste any words talking about what was once upon a time a highly-touted Eagles team.
Yes, many new members made their presence felt last week in the backrooms of America's No More Fun Club, a dark and dire place where sports teams go to die come season's end and some even before that when they've realized halfway through a winless campaign exactly where they were when the fun stopped. Week 17 is no place for the faint of heart and it is a notoriously sad time for anybody on the outside looking in but it's even sadder for the Joe Blow hobby gambler trying to scoop up and salvage whatever remains of their season long losses and, in some cases their dignity.
Foreclosures will be common on January first for the many hapless homeowners who doubled-down on the Eagles in the second half. A similar scenario will likely play out for anyone who thought the Bills would finish better than 7-9 or had Philip Rivers to win the MVP. These are the kind of things that are wagered on regularly by the innocent bystanders at the bar, the sheep who are constantly gouged and gorged by the sharks and they will inevitably lose, either by design or because they were born to do so.
They're what we in the business call rubes and they will be fleeced at an alarming rate many times over the course of a season and usually for no good reason at all other than to feed our own twisted sadism and of course, for the huge sums of money involved. On some days we'll feel bad about it but for the most part we just laugh and point them on down the road towards what we know to be the last bastion and only hope for people like that, the dark and dank backrooms of the No More Fun Club.
This Week's Lines:
San Diego (+3) over Oakland
Philip Rivers handed in a 2011 resume in which he posted a QB rating and TD to INT ratio inferior to Matt Moore's. He's going to the Pro Bowl. Are you? Norv Turner's time is likely done in SD but a Week 17 trouncing of Oakland might be just enough for Chargers' brass to let him keep his job.
Dallas (+3) over New York
These two teams have somehow managed to stumble to the finish line in spectacular fashion, keeping with a time honored NFL tradition of having at least one division produce such hit or miss crap on any given week that one of two hopelessly flawed teams will inevitably find their way (and probably win a game) in the postseason. Everyone, meet your 2011 Seattle Seahawks: The Dallas Cowboys.
New Orleans (-8.5) over Carolina
I don't know. There is no telling how many points Drew Brees can put on the board anymore. Carolina isn't cohesive enough to keep pace and the Saints will be playing for either a bye or three-seed and another shot at a Falcons team they hung 45 on last week. Its win-win but one is obviously better than the other.
Pittsburgh (-7) over Cleveland
The Steelers shut out the Rams 27-0 last week to keep pace in the AFC North. The Ravens, Steelers and Patriots are all vying for a first round bye, and it's a coin toss as to whether coach Mike Tomlin wants to take his chances going for a win this week and pray for a Ravens loss, or sit Big Ben and his battered ankle and take his chances in the Wild Card round. The safe play is to wait, but we'll say he goes for the bye with Baltimore playing the tougher matchup in Cincy.
Indianapolis (+4) over Jacksonville
This is the only way the worst Indy season in a decade can get any worse. Another win combined with a Rams loss leaves them on the outside looking in on Andrew Luck. The Rams have what we assume they consider to be a franchise quarterback in Sam Bradford but how expendable (and sellable) is he with a guy as highly touted as Luck on the table?
Cincinnati (+2.5) over Baltimore
Who likes the 'Nati to simultaneously earn a postseason berth, cost the Ravens a bye and a division and shatter the hopes of Tennessee and at least one AFC West fan base with a single win. Honest to God folks, the gambler in me is saying Baltimore but the storyline for a sports fan is way too good. Heart over the head here, heart over head.
San Francisco (-10.5) over St. Louis
Can we name a player on the Rams not named Steven Jackson? The Niners want the bye, the only question is whether they lay off once they've locked it up and let the Rams somehow weasel their way onto the scoreboa…oh wait, the St Louis Rams? No. Ten and a half should be fine.
Miami (-2) over New York/Houston (+3) over Tennessee
Bottom line: the sky has to fall in just the right way for the Jets or the Titans to make playoffs. It would take up too much of our time to explain it all here but put simply both teams have to win and they won't. If they somehow do, a series of strange and improbable events must follow for it mean anything; too many pieces are at play for that to happen.
Detroit (-3.5) over Green Bay
The Lions aren't well equipped for a Wild Card battle against either the Niners or the Saints. That said, they can probably manhandle whatever mess stumbles on to the field in New York or Dallas. They need this win against Green Bay's second string to secure the fifth seed.
New England (-11) over Buffalo
Brady locks up a bye and home field through the postseason with a win. You think he wants it? You think he was happy about Buffalo's little show in Week Three?
Quick Slants: Atlanta (-12) over Tampa Bay, Washington (+9) over Philadelphia, Minnesota (PK) over Chicago, Seattle (+3) over Arizona, Denver (-3.5) over Kansas City
Last Week: 11-4
Overall: 70-44-3

We spent 3 nights in this apartment and it was spectacular. A good location were ready with all comforts and the man who greeted us on arrival explained to us from how to work the washing machine where we could move. A love of man.

Metro a few minutes walk and very quiet.
Strongly recommended.
A couple of blankets would be nice.
Metro a pocos minutos andando y zona muy tranquila.
Totalmente recomendable.
Un par de mantas no estaría mal.
The apartment had many chances but unfortunately it was very dirty and unkempt. They did not let even a little dishwashing detergent nor a broom to sweep. The beds were comfortable. Otherwise all right. No repeat.
El apartamento tenía muchas posibilidades pero por desgracia estaba muy sucio y descuidado. No nos dejaron ni un poco de detergente para lavar los platos ni tampoco una escoba para barrer. Las camas eran cómodas. Por lo demás todo bien. No repetiría.
The apartment is fine for four. The mattresses on the beds sofas should change them, deformed and dirty ... The person who greeted us very friendly but should give better image, dirty clothes, smelly ... and cleaning the apartment is terrible, ceilings also are cleaned, the telaarañas ... not repeat on this site.
El apartamento esta bien para cuatro personas. Los colchones de los sofas camas deberian de cambiarlos, deformados y sucios... La persona que nos atendio muy amable pero deberia de dar mejor imagen, ropa sucia, olia mal... Y la limpieza del apartamento es pesima, los techos tambien se limpian, las telaarañas... No repetire en este sitio.
The apartment is located centrally in a quiet environment. Unfortunately, only 7 instead of 8 booked Sleeps existed. Otherwise everything i.O.
Das Apartment liegt relativ zentral in einer ruhigen umgebung. Leider waren nur 7 statt 8 gebuchten Schlafmöglichkeiten vorhanden. Ansonsten alles i.O.
Actually I loved staying here, very cozy and bright, I repeat sincerely.
La verdad me ha encantado la estancia allí,muy acogedor y luminoso, yo repetiría sinceramente.

A name server is a server that hosts a network service for providing responses to queries against a directory service. It maps a human-recognizable identifier to a system-internal, identification or addressing component, the program BIND is the most famous name server available on Linux, it can be used to do everything you need from a name server, but sometimes you need less.
Maybe you have a VPS and you want just to manage your DNS name, for this use you could check NSD a great alternative to BIND, it does not do DNS forwarding, it only serves its own domains. but this could be enough for your project.
NSD uses BIND-style zone-files; zone-files used under BIND (named) can usually be supplied unmodified in NSD once declared in the nsd.conf configuration. NSD manages zone information compiled via 'zonec' into a binary database file (nsd.db) which allows lightning fast start up of the NSD name-service daemon, syntax structural verification and flagging of errors at database compile-time. All this before being made available to NSD service itself.
Let's see how to install and configure it.

The Destination
More than 20 million people per year can't be wrong. Spewing more than four million cubic feet of water over its ledge every minute, Niagara Falls, in all its majestic fury, has rightly earned its title as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, drawing four times as many annual tourists as the Grand Canyon. And in Niagara Falls, Ontario, visitors find themselves perfectly situated to catch the show at its best.
The Digs
Perched near the 175-foot Horseshoe Falls, the Wyndham Garden Niagara Falls Fallsview opened in the spring of 2012 and stands nine stories high overlooking the cascade. Kids will love the on-site arcade, stocked with all the latest games, as well as the indoor heated pool and hot tub. And for those who stay fit even on vacation, there's a state-of-the-art fitness center on property. The brand-new accommodations—which feature a view of the city—are appointed with one king or two queen beds, a 37-inch flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, True Blue Spa bath products, and plush BeWell bedding.
The Diversions
A short walk from the hotel is Niagara's main attraction, but the falls are only the beginning of your stay. You'll also head north to Niagara Wine Country for two included tastings at each of three wineries: Trius Winery at Hillebrand, Peller Estates Winery, and Wayne Gretzky Estates. No romantic trip would be complete without chocolate, so indulge your sweet tooth on an included tour of Chocolate FX.
Begin your day with $15 to spend at the on-site Perkins Restaurant, serving up scrumptious American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since 1958. Come lunchtime, make your way to Dave & Buster's, where you'll get a $20 play card and two rounds of mini golf with the purchase of one $20 play card. And in the evening, you'll want to make use of your $20 voucher at Outback Steakhouse. At night's end, shoot over to MJ's Lobby Lounge & Bar for a nightcap of two included drinks.

From what I understand, Almonds are enormous areas with little else but almonds on them for bees to feed on. We don't have as many enormous, continuous crops out here. A lot of the farms are on hundreds of acres - not 10's of thousands. So the bee diets are not as restricted to the intended subject of pollination. There aren't a ton of farms that are big enough to cover a bee's forage range. By "small", I mean that they are not the Oxford Foods, 20,000 acre types. They are the 300-1000 acre type operation. And they all pay pretty much the same.
However, as I mentioned, the border is going to open to out-of-province pollination. That will likely challenge current pollination service fees. Almost all of that out-of-province need for pollination is coming from one company - Oxford. And Oxford already serves most of their own needs with their 15,000 colonies. They just need more. My own feeling is that they have found the bee business to be too expensive and is splitting up their resources too much to maintain, so I feel like they may be looking to drop that part of the business and to replace it completely by hiring out the pollination - but they know the local beekeepers can't cover their needs. So they've pressed the government to open the border, so they have legal access to more pollination from the bigger operations in New Brunswick and Quebec - maybe Ontario as well. I expect soon to hear that someone has made a huge deal with them and taken over their bees. Pure speculation on my part on all that though.
I doubt the smaller operations will be affected as much, because their contracts are too small for bigger pollination operations to travel far to satisfy.
That's my outlook at the moment. It is of course, the outlook of an outsider at this point, listening to others in the business. So I'm sure it's full of flaws that can only be corrected by experience.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation

We had a decent jobs report today, which suggests the economy might be recovering a bit. So does that mean we need to start worrying about inflation? David Leonhardt says no:
The average hourly wage across the economy — including salaried employees — did not grow at all in March. It was $22.87, just as it had been in February. And from January to February, it rose only a single cent.
Over the last year, hourly wages have grown 1.7 percent. That matches the smallest annual increase since the recession began, in late 2007. In the middle of 2009 — when the economy was still shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs a month — the annual increase was significantly larger: about 2.5 percent.
It's all but impossible to have an inflationary spiral if wages are not rising rapidly.

It's all but impossible to have an inflationary spiral if wages are not rising rapidly.
Businesses are starting to hire at moderately promising rates, but unemployment is still high, and it's going to stay high unless job growth picks up a lot. And with unemployment high, it's hard to see how any kind of broad-based inflation can stick. Unemployment is still our big problem, not inflation.

Faced with a choice between cutting farm subsidies and cutting funding for food stamps, House Republicans have overwhelmingly chosen to cut funding for food stamps. Unrelatedly, House Republicans have received a ton of farm subsidies:
I'd love to see a similar breakdown on how much Republican members of the 112th Congress have benefited from food stamps, since 1995.

The House Committee on Science and Technology spent three hours on Thursday debating climate science in the first hearing on the subject since Texas Republican Ralph Hall, a climate skeptic, took the helm of that panel. His first statement about the mission of the panel under his control talked about how they have to deal with "the global warming or global freezing," which gave a good sense of where things were heading this year.
It's worth noting that the majority of the witnesses they called on yesterday weren't actually climate scientists. The Republicans' witness list included a lawyer, an economist, and marketing professor. There was one actual climate scientist called by the Republicans, John Christy of the University of Alabama, though his beliefs on climate change are notably outside of the mainstream of climate science in that he contests the idea that greenhouse gases are the primary driver of warming. The panel also included Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Richard Muller, a physicist who is currently leading the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study, an attempt to reexamine global temperature records (more on that in a minute). MIT's Kerry Emanuel was the witness called by Democrats on the committee and charged with defending the mainstream climate science views.
For more on the meat of the hearing, see the great live-blog that Science ran that featured scientists and reporter Eli Kintisch, or the real-time commentary that the Project on Climate Science organized, also with actual climate scientists. There was a lot of repetition of the same old denier talking points from representatives in the hearing, backed up by the panelists that were largely selected to reinforce those views. At one point, J. Scott Armstrong, the University of Pennsylvania marketing professor, actually responded to a question on the science, "I actually try not to learn a lot about climate change."
The most interesting thing to me, though, is that when asked directly, not one of the actual scientists disputed the fact that the planet is warming and that greenhouse gases are a notable factor. Even Christy said in the hearing that yes, greenhouse gas emissions "do exert a warming influence on the planet." And then there was Muller, who has raised questions about climate data and whose project at Berkeley has drawn criticism for, among other things, its funding from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation. The evaluation of global temperature records that his group is undertaking is still forthcoming, but in his testimony he made it clear that, despite what the critics of climate science have argued, their own evaluation has so far affirmed those from NASA, the Climatic Research Unit in the UK, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups," he stated in his written testimony. Over at Dot Earth, Andy Revkin has more on how his testimony must have been a let-down for those hoping to debunk the premise that the planet is warming. Here's the graphic Muller showed, which indicates that BEST's study, in black, is basically the same as the ones that skeptics have been attacking for years:
While he was vastly outnumbered in the hearing, Emanuel did a solid job of communicating the central tenents of climate science, why it's a cause for concern, and why the disinformers are wrong. Here's a segment from his testimony that was particularly adept:
In soliciting advice, we should be highly skeptical of any expert who claims to be certain of the outcome. I include especially those scientists who express great confidence that the outcome will be benign; the evidence before us simply does not warrant such confidence. Likewise, beware those who deride predictive science in its entirety, for they are also making a prediction: that we have nothing to worry about.
Chris Mooney has more on his testimony over at Discover, where he also reminds us that Emanuel is a Republican—which you would think might make the House majority pay at least a little bit of attention.

One of the reasons to vote for someone for president — perhaps the key reason, in fact — is good judgment. Hillary Clinton may have taken a lot of flack for her "3 am phone call" ad during the Democratic primaries in 2008, but she was basically right: ideologically, there wasn't that much distance between Obama and Clinton, which meant that a big part of any liberal's decision that year was figuring which candidate had the better judgment. We knew how both of them felt about healthcare reform and climate change and education policy, but what would they do when something came up that no one could predict? How would they handle a Katrina or a 9/11?
I was one of many who ended up voting for Obama on the grounds that his judgment seemed a bit sounder. Maybe not as toughminded as Hillary, but just as smart and, in foreign affairs, seemingly a little more willing to look at the world with fresh eyes and resist the siren call of intervention at every turn.
So how's that working out for me?
It's being pretty sorely tested, that's for sure. Obama has been a disappointment on civil liberties and national security issues, but since I frankly don't think any modern president can buck the national security establishment in any significant way, I haven't held that too deeply against him. The escalation in Afghanistan has been unfortunate too, but he did warn us about that. The scope of both his conventional escalation and his soaring use of drone attacks in the AfPak region have been disheartening, but it's hard to complain when he made it so clear during the campaign that he intended to do exactly that.
But now we have Libya. As usual, Obama's reasons for intervening seem sober, grounded, and judicious. It's a limited operation. It was in response to an imminent massacre in Benghazi. It had the support of the Arab League and the UN Security Council. European allies took the lead in pressing for action, even if the U.S. has subsequently provided most of the actual firepower. It's not Vietnam 2.0. It's not Iraq 2.0. And it doesn't represent the unveiling of a new Obama Doctrine — unless it's a doctrine to publicly claim that you have no doctrine and that military interventions all have to be judged on a pragmatic, case-by-case basis.
Still, this is the first time Obama has been seriously tested on intervention. There was never a chance that any president, liberal or otherwise, was going to intervene in Iran or in Egypt. Nor were interventions in places like the Congo or the Ivory Coast ever genuinely a possibility. Libya has been Obama's first real opportunity to make a decision on a new overseas military operation, and within days of making his choice it's already started to spiral. First he resisted intervention. Then he agreed to a no-fly zone. The no-fly zone turned into a Kosovo-style air campaign in support of the rebels. On Wednesday we learned that the CIA has advisors on the ground. And the administration has made it clear that providing arms to the rebels is under serious consideration too. Given that Muammar Qaddafi appears quite capable of holding out, or even outright winning, against even this, how likely is it that Obama will accept a stalemate or a loss and not escalate even further? Not very, I'd say.
So what should I think about this? If it had been my call, I wouldn't have gone into Libya. But the reason I voted for Obama in 2008 is because I trust his judgment. And not in any merely abstract way, either: I mean that if he and I were in a room and disagreed about some issue on which I had any doubt at all, I'd literally trust his judgment over my own. I think he's smarter than me, better informed, better able to understand the consequences of his actions, and more farsighted. I voted for him because I trust his judgment, and I still do.
For now, anyway. But I wouldn't have intervened in Libya and he did. I sure hope his judgment really does turn out to have been better than mine.
UPDATE: More here. Short version: "any doubt at all" was written in haste. It should have been something like "enough doubt to make me unsure of myself."

I live in northern Califonia on 15 acres. A commercial beekeeper has 120 hives and the thing is asked me to keep 60 of them on my property. He is coming down to talk to me on Friday so I have some questions if y'all don't mind answering.
1. What would be a fair amount of honey for keeping the bees? Honey is all I want.
2. I have a pool probably 2 acres away from where they will be... will they want to go to it or can I supply water closer to them and how much for that many?
3. If my home is 2 acres away, will they likely stay out of the home area for the most part? There are 500 acres behind me with cattle and irrigated fields.
Thanks very much and pardon the ignorance...
