Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Larry Sparks
Sparks grew up in Lebanon, OH, in the southwestern part of the state that has produced several other top bluegrass artists. His parents came from Appalachian Kentucky, and one of his grandfathers was a fiddle contest champion. Sparks heard Cincinnati country star Wayne Raney on the radio when he was young and learned to play the guitar. His skills put him in demand not only for bluegrass but also for country and rock bands while he was in high school, but after sitting in as lead guitarist with the Stanley Brothers as they toured Ohio in 1964, bluegrass took first place among his musical interests. Sparks played increasingly often with the Stanley Brothers and made his recording debut in 1965 on a small Dayton, OH label. He spent three years as lead vocalist with Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys after Carter Stanley's death at age 41 in December 1966.
Around 1970, Sparks formed his own band, the Lonesome Ramblers, and it's a rare bluegrass festival or concert series that hasn't played host to Sparks multiple times in the years since. Numerous younger bluegrass players have passed through the Lonesome Ramblers or appeared on Sparks' many recordings, Ricky Skaggs and fiddler Stuart Duncan being only two of the best-known examples. Sparks recorded for various labels in the '70s and early '80s, moving to Rebel in 1982 for the Dark Hollow LP. It was the first in a long string of recordings that sold steadily and won critical acclaim; most of Sparks' Rebel catalog remained in print in the early 2000s.
Along the way, Sparks made several songs into bluegrass standards. He unearthed an obscure folk-rock composition by Lawrence Hammond entitled "John Deere Tractor" and turned it into a perennial anthem of discontented rural folk adrift in the big city; the cover of the song by the Judds on their Love Can Build a Bridge album of 1990 was likely traceable to Sparks' own numerous performances. The Stanley Brothers' "Goin' Up Home (To Live in Green Pastures)" was one of several gospel pieces that every parking-lot pickup band wanted to learn after hearing Sparks sing it, and Sparks tended to focus on gospel in his own numerous compositions as well.
Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers barely slowed down in the 1990s, releasing several albums over the course of the decade, and 2003's The Coldest Part of Winter showed him in undiminished form. Sparks released Last Suit You Wear in 2007. Recorded primarily with his road band, the Lonesome Ramblers, Almost Home appeared in 2011. ~ James Manheim

Newsweek finally goes where none have gone before
posted at 4:31 pm on May 13, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
Are you kidding me? I get that Andrew Sullivan is a man with an agenda and I completely support his right to make his opinions heard. I also understand that Newsweek – like any other publication – is in business to make a profit and that frequently involves pushing the envelope in terms of catching the public's attention. But at what point is too much simply too much? When is the shark definitively jumped and the daily bread burned past any reasonable definition of being toast? Ladies and gentlemen, this would be that point.
Politico "explains."
"'Let the games begin," Tina Brown said last week after Time Magazine released its controversial breastfeeding cover.
Brown, whose tenure as editor at Newsweek has seen an array of controversial covers, will respond with the above, pegged to Andrew Sullivan's piece on Obama's support for same-sex marriage: "The First Gay President."
The poster that comes from this is going to sell millions. Take that to the bank.
I'm not such a political neophyte as to suggest that this is unique in politics, but the bold faced, brazen machinations and ham handed plotting which have characterized this "evolution" in the President's position on the subject at hand are rather breathtaking. And I'm not saying that people don't actually "evolve" in their positions, beliefs or ideology. I know that my own attitudes and beliefs in my twenties were a far cry – in some instances at least – from where I stand in my fifties. Very few of us spring out of the halls of high school fully formed with all of the opinions we'll hold until the grave.
But these evolutions generally take place over a long period of time, as exposure to new people and different ideas are examined and experimented with. Some are kept, others are rejected. Barack Obama, on the other hand, has gone in the course of less than a decade from full throated support of gay marriage to full opposition on religious grounds, back to full support. Are we really supposed to be buying this?
Apparently Mr. Sullivan thinks so. And Newsweek is more than happy to jump on board with a cover which will probably go down as one of the most ridiculed and satirized efforts in the history of magazine publication. (But I wouldn't mind a piece of the sales from the poster, though.) Yeesh.

• Offering even more interior choices for A350 XWB operators
• Jamco America becomes a new Airbus Contracted Supplier
Aircraft Interiors Expo 2012, Hamburg – Airbus is enriching its Premium Seating, Business Class offering available in the A350 Catalogue*, working in partnership with Jamco America and EADS Sogerma. This will result in even more choice for future operators of the all-new A350 XWB family of airliners. These seats are planned to be displayed in the upcoming revision of the Catalogue offering by the end of the year.
Following an agreement to be signed at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2012, Jamco America will become an A350 XWB Airbus Contracted Supplier (ACS) for premium seating products and will offer its all new premium business-class seat 'Journey' through Airbus A350 XWB Catalogue. This seat is aimed at the long-haul business segment and offers a six or seven abreast forward facing seat. A full-flat bed position offers excellent passenger comfort and an original kinematic system provides smooth transitions between seat and bed positions.
Meanwhile, EADS-Sogerma, an existing Airbus Contracted Supplier, will enrich the A350 XWB Catalogue with its 'Equinox' model. Available in six abreast configuration, it is being optimised for the A350 XWB's wide fuselage. Equinox uses the vertical space to create a full-flat bed in a pitch range equivalent to current lie flat products. Privacy options enhance the passenger experience.
In addition to the above, Airbus will shortly enter into an agreement with Sicma to become an A350 XWB Airbus Contracted Supplier. Sicma is already undertaking a technical study on its 'Cirrus' and 'Arcus' seats for inclusion in the Catalogue. Cirrus offers a wide seat in a four-abreast, herringbone configuration, while the all-new Arcus seat is aimed at the 'regional business' segment and offers a seven-abreast forward-facing seat. Both seats transform into a full-flat bed.

10 Things You Might Not Know About the Statue of Liberty
July 4th is a big day for the U.S.—not only is it Independence Day, but the Statue of Liberty reopens for essentially the first time since 2011. After her 125th birthday party in 2011, the statue was closed for an interior facelift, including new elevators, staircases and restrooms. She was literally open for a single day—October 28, 2012—before closing again due to Hurricane Sandy. Though the statue survived the storm unscathed, the island itself suffered a lot of damage, and so Lady Liberty has remained closed. To celebrate the reopening—and Independence Day, of course—let's revisit a few little-known Liberty facts.
1. The Statue's dedication inspired another uniquely New York institution: the ticker-tape parade. New York office workers got the idea to unfurl financial ribbons from windows on October 29, 1886, the day President Grover Cleveland presided over the dedication ceremony. The dedication is pictured above—though it was indeed a foggy day, the haze you see is the smoke from the military salute.
2. Up until Hurricane Sandy hit last year, David Luchsinger and his wife were residents of a very, very exclusive neighborhood: Liberty Island. As the superintendent of the Statue of Liberty, Luchsinger is one of a select few who have ever called the island home. The National Park Ranger selected to be the seer of the statue is provided with free housing—a small brick house, located on the other side of the island. The Luchsingers' famous neighbor is hidden by trees, believe it or not. Unfortunately, the cozy little house sustained a lot of damage during Sandy. There's been some speculation that Luchsinger may be the last non-colossus Liberty Island resident ever.
3. The star-shaped Fort Wood, which now serves as part of the statue's pedestal, was home to military families from 1818 until the mid-1930s. These military families often included young children like Pete Bluhm (who was 83 when this article ran in the New York Times last year), who remembered a Fourth of July where G.I.s bounced bottle rockets off of Lady Liberty's posterior. Another man, James Hill, recalled that he and his younger sister would drop baseballs from Liberty's crown to see how high they would bounce. Other Liberty Island kids said they climbed to the torch tower and made it rock back and forth.
4. Once upon a time, it wasn't just island kids who could climb to the tip of the torch. Tourists were able to climb up to the precarious perch until 1916, when those privileges were revoked in response to the Black Tom incident. Around 2 a.m. on July 30, Black Tom, once an island in the New York Harbor, was rocked by the explosion of two million tons of war materials such as TNT, black powder, shrapnel and dynamite. The blast was the equivalent of a 5.5-on-the-Richter Scale earthquake; shrapnel flew across the night sky and embedded itself in the Statue of Liberty. Windows shattered as far as 25 miles away.
It was later determined that German agents intent on stopping the munitions from getting to their English enemies had ignited the supply. The Statue of Liberty's torch was closed, partially due to infrastructure damage from the blast and partially just out of concern for terrorism. It's been closed ever since—but you can still appreciate the view from the top with this TorchCam, installed in 2011.
6. The Statue of Liberty was supposed to have a sister statue and lighthouse in Egypt. Sculptor Frederic Bartholdi offered to make Egypt a large piece for the entrance to the Suez Canal called "Egypt Carrying Light to Asia," which would have featured a veiled Egyptian peasant woman holding a lantern. The Egyptian khedive declined.
7. When the statue first arrived from France, she was the color of a shiny new penny. It took roughly 20 years for Liberty to patina to the greenish-blue hue she is today.
9. According to The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia, these are common nicknames for "Everybody's Gal": America's Freedom, America's Great Lady, Aunt Liberty, Bartholdi's Daughter, Giant Goddess, Grande Dame, Green Goddess, The Lady Higher Up, Lady of the Harbor, Lady on a Pedestal, Lady with a Torch, Mother of Exiles, Mother of Freedom, Saint Liberty, and the Spirit of American Independence.
10. "The Statue of Liberty," is, in fact, a nickname. Bartholdi's name for his gift was "Liberty Enlightening the World."

Small Game Management in Georgia
Ruffed Grouse
The ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus), often called the "king of the upland game birds," gets its name from the ruff of dark feathers on its neck which are commonly displayed by the male. The grouse is a beautiful bird with subtle, mottled coloration and is between the size of a quail and a pheasant.
The range of the ruffed grouse extends from Canada to northern Georgia. The grouse is a bird of the forest. In Georgia, huntable numbers are usually found in mountainous areas above 1,000 feet in elevation. These birds prefer brushy, second growth timber, shrubs and forest edges.
Grouse are usually found in extreme north Georgia. However, they have been found as far south as Clarke County and as far west as Floyd County. Grouse populations in Georgia are low, particularly when compared to populations in the northern states, such as Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Life History
Reproduction - The male ruffed grouse is polygamous (mating with more than one female). He attracts females by beating his wings together, known as "drumming," usually while standing on a fallen log in a dense thicket of mountain laurel or flame azalea. He also uses this sound to defend his territory against other males.
After mating, hens select a nest site at the base of a tree or other obstacle that provides them better protection from the rear while allowing good visibility in front. Nests are often located near a distinct forest edge. Hens usually lay 9-13 eggs with an average clutch size of 9-10 in the southeast. Nesting begins in early April and continues through mid-June.
Incubation of the eggs takes about 24-26 days. If the first nest is destroyed, grouse usually do not re-nest in the Appalachians. Hatching peaks in late May. Young grouse chicks are reared entirely by the hen. Studies in Georgia found that grouse preferred dense upland hardwood sapling areas and a variety of herbaceous foods for brood habitat.
Information regarding reproduction and population trends in the southern Appalachians is limited. Recent surveys indicate that a lower percentage of hens nest, clutch sizes are smaller and almost no renesting occurs if nests are destroyed resulting in lower productivity in the Appalachians as compared to the Great Lake States (Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin).
Ruffed grouse nest failure is high with only about 25 percent of nest attempts successful. Because the nest is built on the ground it is more vulnerable to predators. Common nest predators include raccoons, opossums, bobcats, dogs, cats and snakes.
Mortality - Mortality is high during the first weeks of life with only one out of four juvenile grouse surviving. Recent Appalachian studies indicate that chick survival is very low in the southeast, particularly during the first few weeks after hatching. Predators cause half of this mortality. Once the birds reach adult size, they rarely die from disease, exposure or malnutrition. Predation eliminates 50-60 percent of the adult population each year.
In the northern part of their range, grouse populations cycle up and down during a ten-year period. Most researchers agree that the cycle involves changes in the rates of movement, reproduction or mortality. There is little evidence that the cycle occurs in the southern part of their range.
Over large areas, hunting does not seem to impact grouse populations. Currently studies are underway in the southeast to evaluate the effects of late season hunting on breeding populations of grouse. The early results from these studies have shown that hunting is only a small part of the total mortality. However, late season hunting may be additive to natural mortality.
Food Habits - Ruffed grouse eat both plants and animals, but feed primarily on plants. In the Southern Appalachians, they eat more green leaves than fruits or buds. Fall and winter food studies in Georgia found leaves from a variety of plants in 97 percent of the grouse collected. Leafy material made up 93 percent of the ingested food volume. Georgia grouse eat a wide variety of plants but mountain laurel, Christmas fern and greenbriar are the most important. Mountain laurel makes up one-third of the grouse's diet during the fall and winter. Other important foods include cinquefoil, goldenrod, foam flower, trailing arbutus and clover.
Previous studies have indicated that some of the important winter foods in the Southern Appalachians, such as mountain laurel, are low in nutrition when compared to aspen buds, which are important winter foods in the Great Lake states. Foods found in the Southeast are typically lower in protein, which may result in smaller clutch sizes, poorer hatching rates, and lower survival rates.
Behavior and Movement Patterns - The adult male ruffed grouse does not typically associate with other grouse outside the breeding season. Radio telemetry studies show that the male's home range is about 50 acres. The home range of males is considerably smaller than females. Males spend a lot of time near their drumming logs particularly during the spring and fall.
The home range for a hen is small during the incubation period. After hatching, hens with broods become very mobile as they search for good food and cover for their young chicks. Home ranges are larger for hens with broods than those without broods. Winter home ranges for hens may be as large as 100 acres.
Young grouse become more independent as they mature. By fall, broods break up and disperse into new habitats. During the winter, younger birds typically move more than adults as they search for food or territory.
Habitat Requirements - Grouse require cover for escape, nesting, brooding and protection from the weather in winter. Recent studies in the Appalachians found that grouse preferred habitat with high densities of saplings associated with 10 year-old hardwood clearcuts. They frequent more densely forested areas during the winter and the spring nesting seasons for cover and protection for broods. Open, brushy habitats are used during summer and fall because of greater food availability and higher insect populations. In north Georgia, evergreen shrub thickets and forest regeneration areas provide quality habitat for adult birds in the summer.
Drumming logs are very important to a male bird because much of an adult male's life is spent in the vicinity of chosen logs. Most males use more than one drumming log but usually have one primary log. Drumming logs typically are located in dense thickets on sloping hillsides, permitting a maximum field of view. Critical drumming site habitat includes a well dispersed shrub thicket understory.
Georgia grouse populations are usually 3-4 times lower than densities reported in many northern states. Poor habitat and less nutritious foods may contribute to lower southern populations. Lack of quality habitat makes grouse more susceptible to predation.
Ruffed grouse are a species that prefers second-growth forests with a brushy midstory. Recent habitat management studies concluded that clearcutting (even-aged silviculture) has a positive effect on grouse populations in oak-hickory forests. These studies found that grouse use of clearcuts for summer adult/brood habitat, fall and winter cover and drumming habitat is greatest 6-15 years following timber harvests.
Horizontal structure, like logging slash, blow-down trees or other forest debris, provides good cover in open areas. However, too much horizontal cover can be detrimental to grouse because it conceals predators, reduces the grouse's ability to see and impedes grouse movements on the forest floor.
Small clearcuts in mountain hardwoods are an effective forest management practice for improving grouse habitat. This technique requires removal of all trees except oak seedlings or saplings and small clumps of food-producing trees beneficial to grouse. Cuts of 5-20 acres are most desirable, but cuts up to 40 acres are acceptable if arranged in irregularly shaped strips or blocks. Highest grouse populations occur on areas where hardwood regeneration (6-15 years old) make up more than 14 percent of the total area.
Therefore, habitat management should include regeneration areas that maintain a good balance between partial canopy closure and high basal areas to enhance grouse habitat. Oak stands are most productive for grouse in the sapling stage when they provide dense understory and overhead cover. Many researchers agree that winter cover, not brood habitat, ultimately determines grouse population densities in many areas.
Seeded roads or linear forest openings are preferred over fields because they reduce grouse' susceptibility to predation. Cleanly mowed openings are less desirable than strip-mowed fields that leave some weed and brush cover remaining. Wildlife openings with a brushy edge can be created by leaving the outer few feet of openings un-mowed for one or two years. Brushy edges can be created to improve grouse habitat by "day lighting," or cutting down mature trees in 50-foot strips around fields or along roads.
Ruffed grouse are truly a challenge for upland game hunters in Georgia because they are found only in mountainous areas with rough terrain and thick brushy cover. The management of our north Georgia forests, particularly oaks, is critical in providing the cover and food necessary to support future ruffed grouse populations.

Author Info: Sarah Mayberry
Gender: female
Hometown: Melbourne
About: Sarah Mayberry was born in Melbourne, Australia, and is the middle of three children. From the time that she first "stole" paper from kindergarten and stapled it together to make "books," Sarah has always wanted to be a writer. In line with this ambition, on graduation from high school she completed a bachelor of arts degree majoring in professional writing, then sat down to write a book. When inspiration didn't strike, she began to wonder if, perhaps, she needed to live some life first before writing about it.
This still left the burning question of how to pay the rent. She found her way into trade journalism, working off the principle that it was better to write anything for a living than nothing at all. Her time there lead to the opportunity to launch a new decorator magazine for one of Australia's major retailers, an invaluable and grueling experience that she found very rewarding.
But the opportunity to write fiction for a living soon lured Sarah away. She took up a post as storyliner on Australia's longest running soap, Neighbours. Over two years she helped plot more than 240 hours of television, as well as writing freelance scripts. She remembers her time with the show very fondly — especially the dirty jokes and laughter around the story table — and still writes scripts on a freelance basis.
In 2003 she relocated to New Zealand for her partner's work. There Sarah served as storyliner and story editor on the country's top-rating drama, Shortland Street, before quitting to pursue writing full time.
Sarah picked up a love of romance novels from both her grandmothers, and has submitted manuscripts to Harlequin many times over the years. She credits the invaluable story structuring experience she learned on Neighbours as the key to her eventual success — along with the patience of her fantastic editor, Wanda.
Sarah is revoltingly happy with her partner of twelve years, Chris, who is a talented scriptwriter. Not only does he offer fantastic advice and solutions to writing problems, but he's also handsome, funny and sexy. When she's not gushing over him, she loves to read romance and fantasy novels, go to the movies, sew and cook for her friends. She has also become a recent convert to Pilates, which she knows she should do more often.

A jukebox-like playlist for YouTube videos. No need to listen to your own MP3s when YouTube already has everything online.
having it so you can view other people's playlists would be awesome.
This is the same as the official search on Youtube, except you get less results. You still need to add the videos one by one. You can't even search other people's playlists. Why bother using jukeboxtube when you can do the same on youtube?

Town Square
Mitt Romney and the Republican Party of Dumb
Original post made by Oliver Towne, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Nov 13, 2012
Politics by its very nature is contentious, of course, and its 'truths' aren't as clear-cut as are those of science. People of different political persuasions can be expected to lie at times, to omit some key truths, and to exaggerate the importance of some truths at the expense of others. In an open democracy, however, as opposed to closed authoritarian systems, the truth can be expected to prevail, despite the various kinds of machinations that can come out of actors' mouths. The truth prevails because, when democracy is open, various positions can be questioned and challenged in ways that, at the end of the day, begin to illuminate the lie, the liar, as well as other forms of deception and those who resort to their use.
For although politics is fraught with lies and deception, we do not advocate that it should be so. Indeed, we rightly blame Obama when he falls short of his promises; we blame Romney for his many lies and untruths. And by so doing, we hope that Obama will take additional precautions before uttering new promises; that Romney will think twice before opting for yet another intentional untruth.
We do hold political actors to a standard no less high than those standards we apply to ourselves and those close to us. We want them to tell us the truth, as they know it. And if we think they are resorting to untruths or inflated promises, we want to be able to point that out to them. This is where the right wing echo machine has failed its players and its audiences. In a nutshell, for years now its has systematically sealed itself off from question, challenge, and debate.
Fox News is the exemplar of this tendency. When is the last time you saw Hannity or O'Reilly or Beck or Palin or Limbaugh actually go toe to toe with a respected member from the other side? O'Reilly has occasionally 'debated' the comedian John Stewart, but that has been for entertainment sake. In short, the Fox News commentators and analysts say pretty much whatever they want to without fear of being questioned or challenged. Which means their truth claims don't extend beyond the initial claim itself. Not having to clarify, elaborate, defend, or, most important, amend, they conclude their programs quite self-satisfied that their truth claims are legitimate and beyond dispute.
The Romney-Obama contrast is instructive in this regard. Obama has gone on Fox News to be interviewed. He didn't have to; but his openness to dialogue has influenced his decision to enter into the lion's den of ideational opposition. Can you imagine Bush going onto MSNBC? Can you imagine Romney doing so? If I'm not mistaken, Romney didn't give any interviews at all over the last six weeks of his campaign. One can only assume his wariness of the media outweighed his respect for dialogue and the kinds of 'higher truths' that can emerge from it. No Face the Nation; no Meet the Press. Nothing. Why? Again, we can only assume he was being overly cautious (cowardly?) in the face of the prospect of being questioned or challenged by members in the media.
When Obama flopped during his first debate, he was told so by his immediate advisors as well as many of his supporters (recall Bill Maher's comment about his $1 million contribution going to pot). Romney flubbed badly in both second and third debates, but nary a word of acknowledgement was offered by his supporters. Indeed, they all denied that he fell flat - which appears to have been an easy claim to make since the right wing has so effectively insulated itself from question and challenge. And so it wasn't Romney's fault, it was the moderator's; it wasn't Romney's fault, it was the fault of the 'angry black man' he debated. Romney didn't need to change a thing, because his numerous shortcomings weren't his fault but the fault of a fault-finding liberal mainstream/lamestream media.
Well, this hiving of themselves off from the rest of the population cost the Republicans dearly. Their 'truths' weren't able to carry the day because, as the majority of the populace recognized, their 'truths' were at best half-truths, half-baked, underdeveloped, and hence unsatisfying to most/all communicative beings in an open democracy who come to expect more than that. The Republican Party's cognitive dissonance - expecting a victory in the face of brute, undeniable fact - was akin to some cultish group's journey into the desert in expectation that god will appear to them in a flying saucer.
When the truths one is pushing are one-sided as those that have been pushed by the Republican Party - 'Obama is the laziest president in US history', Colin Powell endorsed Obama because they are both black men, women care about jobs, not their rights as women (and both Romneys, Mitt and Ann refused to debate the issue beyond issuing such a blanket, vapid, invalid claim) - the expectation should very well be that such 'truths' will not gain traction with a thinking public.
And that was the Republican Party's greatest failing. It underestimated how in an open, liberal democracy where free speech is valued, the populace can be expected to get smarter as a consequence of ongoing exchanges of ideas. In brute contrast, the Republican Party has gotten increasingly dumber over recent years. How else to explain this year's line-up of Republican presidential contenders? The Republican Party, from Karl Rove to George Will to Sarah Palin to Mitt Romney has become the party of dumb. Its ideas are stale, hackneyed and, most importantly, unexamined, because it has turned its back on open, contested dialogue and the progressively improved knowledge that comes with it.

Glad you've got it all figured out there, ollie. We need to get smarter like uncle joe, jesse jackson jr., nancy pelosi, mary hayashi, pete stark, etc.

Wow! A new poster child for the liberals! All mouth and no words. Do you look as dumb as you sound with your shallow, full package ignorance? Biting the nose to spite the face has never been a good idea (how you voted).
Simply two questions: What do you like about Obama (any vision in there)? Who's going to pull the wagon now that entitlement has been bought via votes?

Oliver, I agree with you. We don't do democracy as well as we should in this country. More democracy = a better informed citizenry. The shenanigans of Fox and the Republicans tend to foster ignorance and blind belief. This time the Republicans got the candidate and the result they deserve. And judging from the above comments, they've got a long way to go before they dig themselves out of the deep hole they're now in.

The shenanigans of Msnbc, huffpo, cnn, abc, cbs, nbc, comedy central and the dems foster ignorance and blind belief. This time stupid, gullible women, minorities and leaches voted for four more years of Obama depression and govt dependence. Good luck to all you lemmings.....

ollie did make a very good point.Fox,Limbaugh and the gang rarely if ever interview the the other side.Sara Palin will not be interviewed by someone who does not share her beliefs.At least someone like Chris Matthews has repubs on his show almost daily,including tea party leaders.I seldom watch the other shows on MSNBC but I know Maddow always invites repubs on to debate the issues.
If all you do is preach your point of view and do not want your viewers to hear opposing views it says a lot.It is actually very weak.It is very similar to the repubs in the congress who refuse to understand that we need to compromise.

Liberals are just good liars and great and hiding important information that might have had an impact on the election. Had the pattreaus or truth about Benghazi come out, he might not have been re-elected at all.
Liberals took the lie, lie, lie, deflect, deflect, deflect and race, woman hating, they are all bigots approach.
Got him elected, but the truth WILL come out.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 16, 2012 at 11:41 pm
The correct spelling is Petraeus.
The facts of Benghazi were not revealed by the FBI to the Justice Department because of rules that were put into effect many years ago after Watergate and President Nixon's ultimate resignation. This is because Nixon tried desperately to manipulate the Watergate investigation in order to protect himself. After that situation, rules were imposed on the FBI and the Justice Department in order to allow investigations to proceed without the knowlwedge of the President so that no president could manipulate any investigation.
It was a wise decision.
There will be republican presidents under investigation some day too.
The rules apply to Democrat and Republican Presidents alike and are reasonable and wise.

Porridge !
The UK is going through a snowey spell , it is in this very sort of weather that my darling reaches for the old and battered double saucepan and makes porridge .
He gets the oats and milking I the top pan in the evening , puts the water ready in he base pan and first thing in the morning he simply switches on the heat under he pan . Such an easy effortless way of make the porridge. It just needs a stir before its served .
Then this is where things start to vary ... I like soft brown sugar on the porridge
http://www.jamieoliver.com/bloggers/vie … p?id=79554
He likes dark brown muscavado sugar on his .
When the children were small some used to have golden syrup on their porridge . Others white or brown sugar .
I thought it might be good to see what others put on their porridge so.......

Re: Porridge !
I approve of this thread so very much
I'll always do my porridge like my grandma does - a good pinch of salt, cooked slowly with sultanas so they get all fat and juicy, a little cinnamon and topped with dark brown sugar. No milk as I'm not very fond of it, and a little more water than usual too - none of that weighty stodge!

Re: Porridge !
Merlin, feel free to come to stay when the weather gets cooler here . You'll be on porridge duty.
PS That's how my Nan made it, too. More "soupy" rather than "stand your spoon up on it" style.

Re: Porridge !
For me it is:
Milk all the way! Not soupy, but not stand your spoon up either. Risotto more like.
For toppings:
Cane sugar for a crunch.
Or black treacle.
Slightly fried banana slices (caramelized in a non stick pan)

Re: Porridge !
Porridge in this sort of weather is probably the thing I miss most about not eating grains any more - but when I did make it, I'd put 1 part oats to 3 parts water, a good pinch of salt, and leave to soak overnight. Then slowly heat until the porridge is cooked in the morning, adding more water if necessary. Served with milk and salt

Re: Porridge !
I can't say that i'm a big fan of the stuff, but it is very lovely on a cold winter morning. I like mine with a little dark brown sugar and extra cinnamon. I also would have to agree with the risotto comment. My grandma would make this for me and my grandfather when i was young, but hers was ALWAYS so thick you could barely take the spoon out.

Re: Porridge !
I'm with the risotto consistency too. But I like to make mine with all milk, and no salt:puke: Then I like it with some more milk, a little sugar and some cinamon. But I normally make mine in the microwave, as I have to go out so early, it needs to be a bit quicker.
The funny thing is if Tina (my lovely little Jack Russell) hears the microwave in the morning, then she knows it's porridge, and gets really excited, because she knows she'll get some too!

GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Ben Harper and GRAMMY-nominated blues artist Charlie Musselwhite recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., to participate in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview. The pair opened up about meeting through the late GRAMMY-winning blues artist John Lee Hooker, what inspires their music and collaborating on their 2013 album, Get Up!
"We've been talking about recording for years and … and finally … we were both free at the same time to go in to the studio," said Musselwhite. "We just went in and the music was like it had just been in a corral waiting to get out. It just came pouring out, song after song, and it was one of those times where everything seemed like magic."
"More than anything, [Get Up!] is a celebration of blues music," added Harper.
Combining elements of soul and acoustic folk/rock, Claremont, Calif., native Harper released his debut album, Welcome To The Cruel World, in 1994. Subsequent albums The Will To Live (1997) and Burn To Shine (1999) both cracked the Billboard 200, while Diamonds On The Inside (2003) peaked at No. 19. His 2004 collaboration with the Blind Boys Of Alabama, There Will Be A Light, earned two GRAMMYs for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance for "11th Commandment." Harper's most recent solo album, 2011's Give Till It's Gone, landed at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. Aside from his collaboration with Musselwhite, Harper recently collaborated with GRAMMY winner Natalie Maines on her 2013 debut solo album, Mother.
Mississippi-born Musselwhite came to prominence as a harmonica player on the Chicago blues scene in the '60s. After landing gigs with blues legends such as Shakey Horton, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson, Musselwhite released his debut album, Stand Back! Here Comes Charley Musselwhite's Southside Band, in 1967. Musselwhite garnered his first GRAMMY nomination in 1991 for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Signature, and picked up three additional nominations in the same category for 1999's Continental Drifter, 2002's One Night In America and 2004's Sanctuary, all of which cracked the Top 15 on Billboard's Top Blues Albums chart. Musselwhite's most recent solo album, 2010's The Well, peaked at No. 4 on the Top Blues Albums chart and garnered a nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards.
Released in January, Get Up! peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard 200. Co-produced by Harper and GRAMMY winner Chris Goldsmith, the album features 10 tracks written or co-written by Harper, including "You Found Another Lover (I Lost Another Friend)" and "All That Matters Now."
Upcoming GRAMMY Museum events include Reel To Reel: Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin' (Oct. 30), Johnny Cash: The Life — A Book Discussion With Author Robert Hilburn (Nov. 5), The Drop: Divided & United — Music Of The Civil War (Nov. 7), and An Evening With Swamp Dogg (Nov. 14).

For those who remember Handley's post game interviews, I hope you had a good therapist because they did cause brain damage.
For those who remember Handley's post game interviews, I hope you had a good therapist because they did cause brain damage.
they also were the ones who decided to make that incredibly incompetant guy known only here by his initials RH, our coach. It did lead to a dead period in our history.
Sadly, I do remember those post game interviews which should explain me to the rest of you.
Parcells said inside the building before SB XXV he was "out of here". A lot of his staff -- including Belichick and Coughlin -- bolted for greener pastures. Ray Handley was one of the fools who hung around, and was promoted to Offensive Coordinator. Parcells kept threatening to quit, but was still there through the draft, and even for ROOKIE MINI CAMP which was somewhere in late May. Far too late to interview new head coaches and for them to bring in a new staff. THEN Bill Parcells quit, leaving the Maras holding the bag. Too late to bring in a new staff. That's when Ray Handley got the job.
What exactly were they supposed to do? They trusted Parcells, and got burned.
Parcells also tried to get out of his contract after 1986 SB to go to Falcons but Pete Rozelle blocked the move
Top things to change for me 2000 SB
Also Plaxico shooting
Derailed our season a;long with injuries to DL
The one thing I would change is Strahan retiring in the 2008 season. I think if he stays, we go on to repeat that year.
This leadership would have helped the team recover from the Plax shooting. His play would have prevented Tuck and Kiwi from breaking down at the end of the year.
I wouldnt change a thing because everything has happened because of the chain of events that occured. You change one thing and its all different.
You just cant change one thing without it effecting everything else. For better or worse.
I am 46 so although having Lombardi or Landry take over in 1960 would be cool but ling before my time.
Joe p mess is one of my early memories but led
to better days. Flipper anderson...sb disaster..dodge ...all bad...
Reggie white with LT... would have been glorious
Still think I would change going with handley. I know young bated belicheck but should have happened
Would be nice if that west side stadium was built so the Giants didnt have a messy roomate.


text: I just got to Phoenix on vacation for a week today. As usual, we rented with budget. My mom had reserved a small/intermediate or whatever SUV. When we arrived, they upgraded us at no cost and for no reason other than to be friendly to a brand new 2012 gmc terrain. We are the first people to rent it and it had 3 miles on it when we picked it up. Its mot a base model either - leather, sunroof, all the good stuff. So, I give yet another 5 star review to budget for service and vehicle quality


text: I'm not from Michigan but I have enjoyed the visits I've made to the states. I have some coworkers from Michigan. I'm one of the few Southerners I think that really appreciate hockey and so it's always nice to talk to them about hockey. Plus my Mom is from Indiana so it's nice having someone to talk Big Ten basketball with (around here they just talk SEC and about all the SEC has consistently is Kentucky who I do not like)

This is a modern and cozy studio, full of character, set on the ground floor of an ancient typical Lisbon building near ( 5 minutes walking distance ) the trendy and vibrant Bairro Alto and the best Lisbon neighborhood, Lapa.
The Apartment is a studio and has a maximum capacity for 3 persons: Sleeps two in double bed and another one in the sofa bed. Nice bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, ready to cook homemade meals. Towels and linens at your disposal are included in the price.
You will found also a little patio, with furniture and stone floor. Here is the perfect place to relax, have a nice meal or enjoy a tastefully glass of wine with you family and friends.
The apartment are in a typical Portuguese street, between lively Bairro Alto and Lapa/Estrela in the neighborhood of São Bento. Also enjoy the "Estrela Basilica" or the botanical gardens just at front. There is a supermarket, plus several restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk.
If you walk 5 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops. Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon hippest and coolest place.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 5 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Two minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Luís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has. But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.

Nice appartment, very friendly and helpful reception.
Locationwise also perfect.
Less appealing were the low amount of natural light, the ants and noise when raining.
This is a very beautiful and very clean Appartment in the middle of the nightlife in Lisboa!
Also the house keeper and all comunication is very fast and friendly!
Next time we get to Lisboa we like to get back here!
Everything worked out great. The apartment was clean and nice and it is located in a quiet side street. Unfortunately, the terrace is surrounded by a high wall and therefore not very inviting but all in all, agrees the value for money.
We got to Lisbon after staying in Porto for a few days.
We had a great time despite the terrible weather but we won't be back soon.
Filipe met us at the apartment and showed us around. He told us where we could find a super market and a few grocery stores, then he recommended a nice bar to hang out in the evening, which we enjoyed alot and won't give away it's name online. It's an amazing bar and until now free of drooling drunk tourists unlike so many other places.. lol
He didn't want to go through "the map" and give tons of recommendations and instead offered to be "available" around the clock for us to write/call him if we were interested in a place and wouldn't know if and how we should go there.
We were fine with that and he answered on our first request pretty quickly, not so much when we contacted him on the second day (for a restaurant-recommendation) and didn't receive any answer for the rest of our stay in Lisbon.. In that case, we'd prefer a map with some marks of recommendations instead of empty words.
The apartment's location is absolutely perfect, few minutes of walking to Bairro Alto (bars and restaurants, nightlife-hotspot) and still pretty calm at night. The apartment looks great at first glance, lots of space and great ambiance.
We only gave 4 stars, because it was dirty!
We had to clean some of the kitchen before we found it save to use any of it and also had to do the dishes before using them - however, we didn't clean out the cupboards which would've taken forever and definitely needs to be done asap.
The floor was sticky so that we couldn't bare walking around in socks (only bringing in more dirt I guess) and the bedsheets had some ugly stains on them.
The bathroom was okay, but the toilet paper sits on the floor and the toilet brush is standing in a deep puddle of god-knows-how-old toilet water (I didn't dare to clean that one!).
The shower head is leaky and spills water all around and it's holder sits loosely on the wall..
this might not be much reason to criticize for many as I know lots of people who live in such "conditions" and seem perfectly fine with that.
For me it's just unacceptable to not get a place cleaned up before offering it to someone.
We really enjoyed our time in Lisbon. The studio was great and in a central location. Everything looked exactly like the pictures; you will not be disappointed.
We were nicely welcomed by Tiago who gave us tips and a map of the city which was a great help.
The tram is literally 10s away from the front door and it takes you to the best places in Lisbon.
I would recommend this place to anyone and would happily book it again.
It's a bit small for 3 people but just perfect for 2 people.
It's a bit noisy in the morning but you should not waste your time sleeping in Lisbon there is so much to discover!
This flat is a really nice flat near to the tram 28 station and near to a mini super market. The people who where responsible fir the flat where really friendly and helped in every matter. The only thing which annoyed us were the noise around the flat. The flights from outside, the dog from above and always the door to the street. It doesn't matters if you have a tight sleep but if not you should bring somethibg for your ears with you. Nevertheless the stay was great and we would come again!!!
We had a lovely stay in this appartment, is has a top location, very pleasant neigborhood where ordinary people live their lives, quiet, and yet in the middle of vibrant Lisbon, with tramway 28 at 1 min, nice restaurants all around. Don't forget to have a bite at the restaurant of the Belgium lady, when you walk up the street, it is opposit the big white public building. Very comfy bed, cool and charming, the communication with our host was easy and pleasant, thanks Margarida for our lovely stay in Lisbon? We would certainly recommend your appartment!
Trudy and Martin
Great apartment in a very interesting area, the nicest and the most helpful hosts. Thanks for having me!
Clean and tidy apartment, a small minus would be that it is because of poorly insulated door is heard very much from the stairwell, but on the other hand, there are not many others who live in the building. If you don't mind walking around, the location is perfect, in the older part of Lisbon. The host was very nice and helpful, we would definitely recommend this apartment.
Hello Margaride
The apartement was brilliant - rustic and cosy.. and situated in a nice area. We loved the coolness on the very hot days. The beds were good as well.
We could have wished a little more equipment in the kitchen - but we managed fine nevertheless.
Fine apartment for 3 persons.

Areas of Interest
For the past decade my research interest has focused on the Catholic experience in the United States since World War II. Catholics and American Culture sought to provide a non-"master narrative" approach to understanding how Catholics left their secure ghetto after 1945 to enter the verdant pastures of middle class affluence, with somewhat mixed results. And precisely because of those mixed results, I utilized Reinhold Niebuhr's rich category of "theological irony" to tell my tale. Anti-Catholicism in America mined David Tracy's protean distinction between "analogical" and "dialectical" pre-conceptual languages to explain how – and – why – Catholics and other Americans actually do see the world differently, a difference that has contributed significantly to "prejudice" against Catholics in the U.S. And I use that term in neutral sense (and not in its more usual pejorative) sense: prejudice comes from two Latin words that mean "prejudgment." I thus attempted an ideologically neutral approach to anti-Catholic "prejudice." My latest book, The American Catholic Revolution (Oxford 2010) examines what happened after Vatican II when historical consciousness (i.e., the awareness that everything in history changes) was let loose in the American Catholic community. The book starts with Vatican II, and examines the reception of Humanae Vitae, the "Catonsville Nine" anti-Vietnam War protest, the reform of women's religious orders, and Avery Dulles' classic work, Models of the Church.
Fr. Mark S. Massa, S.J. was born and raised in Ohio (a public school kid for 12 years), and educated at the University of Detroit, the University of Chicago, and Harvard. He received his M.Div. from the Weston School of Theology in 1980. After ordination he lived for a year in North Cambridge (St. John the Evangelist). At Fordham, Fr. Massa was the Karl Rahner, S.J. Professor of Theology, and directed the American Studies Program for 12 years. In 2001 he founded and directed the Curran Center for American Catholic Studies. Fr. Massa will be on sabbatical during the 2016-2017 academic year, before returning to serve as the new director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life.

I picked up Brown as a flex after the carolina game, but promoted him to #2 after trading ray rice at the deadline for RG3. He didn't have great point expectations, but he was constantly beating them by 50% or more as of late... even in the Cincy game.
I would flex a WR, but so many of my wideouts are injured or just plain not performing, as well as my tight ends.
-My #1 starter Percy Harvin has been injured
-I got burned hard when I had to downgrade from AJ Green to Fitzgerald (who is now pretty much useless with Arizona's QB situation, plus he's on the cant cut list) in a twofer trade in order to pick up Jermichael Finley (who bombed on me this week for obvious reasons).
-Heath Miller has been forced to stay in and block ever since Big Ben went down (and even before that his production was declining).
-Welker has been doing fine in my #1 for the time being, but his production is inversely related to Gronk's health.
-I picked up Sidney Rice last week, who proceeded to give me absolutely nothing.
My current roster:
-QB RG3 (starter)
-QB Philip Rivers (bench)
-WR Wes Welker (#1)
-WR Sidney Rice (backup starting #2 due to injury)
-WR Percy Harvin (injured)
-WR Mohamed Sanu (bench, might start him over Sidney though if Percy can't play, they're playing the Chargers and Sanu gets a lot of goal line targets)
-WR Larry Fitzgerald (bench, on can't cut list)
-RB Stevan Ridley (#1)
-RB Jacquizz Rodgers
-RB Knowshon Moreno
-RB David Wilson
(all of these except Ridley I have just picked up today... before this week it was just Ridley/Brown, I don't have a #2 named yet)
-TE Heath Miller (starter)
-TE Jermichael Finley (bench)
-K Lawrence Tynes
-DEF Buffalo (just picked them up since they play JAX next week, I've been a revolving door at defense all season and I don't think I've started a defense more than twice this season)
I don't even have a flex named for next week, that's how deep a hole I've dug myself into...

Hi to anyone checking in. I have just been asked by Mr Barry Birkey if I would take over as moderator of the "Making Cell Calls" for the Bulletin Board.
I have never done anything like this before, however, I would like to have a go at it as I have been told many beekeepers have questions now concerning cell size and how honeybees react to its changing.
Consequently, any person having questions on any topic related to cell size, or any questions related to the cell size map, or Saga, or articles relative thereto posted at this site under POV LUSBY I now guess I will try to answer answer/explain for you if I can.
Any dialogue back will be more than welcomed for continuing discussion or opening up more threads.

Mitt Romney's powerhouse first-quarter fundraising numbers — he reports to have taken in more than $20 million — got him all kinds of press attention, including a key slot on the Today show on Tuesday. There, as in other appearances, Romney was asked whether much of his fundraising was done through Mormon connections.
He should have been asked how much of his fundraising was done through connections with the world of scandal, dirty tricks, sketchy ethics, and illegality. Romney's finance committees, steering committees, host committees, and fundraising staff are full of such people.
For instance, Romney's fundraisers include several of the big funders of the notorious Swift Boat Veterans for Truth — the group that claimed, without evidence, that John Kerry lied to obtain an undeserved Purple Heart. The Swift Boat Veterans' top funder, home developer Bob Perry of Texas, is on one of Romney's fundraising committees. So is another big funder of the group, Carl Lindner of Cincinnati. Lindner, by-the-by, was chairman of Chiquita Brands when it was secretly paying off South American terrorist organizations, for which the company recently agreed to pay a $25 million fine. And the Swift Boat Veterans' legal counsel, Benjamin Ginsberg, is on Romney's staff. Ginsberg was also chief counsel for Bush-Cheney 2000, for which he played a central role in stopping the Florida recount in that controversial election.
Several other Romney fundraisers helped in the 2000 Florida effort, including J. Caleb Boggs III, who led the Florida recount team for Bush; David Norcross, who served as a recount "observer" in Palm Beach; and Timothy Flanigan.
Flanigan's name can be found woven through several juicy scandals. He was counsel for Tyco International, whose former CEO has just been convicted; he oversaw a suspicious contract with former lobbyist — and now convicted felon — Jack Abramoff. And Flanigan helped draft the notorious memos in defense of torture for then–White House counsel Alberto Gonzales.
Another staffer from that office, Bradford Berenson, made a name for himself by publicly defending those memos. He is also a Romney fundraiser. So is David Leitch, whose e-mail exchanges with the White House Counsel office — discussing plans to fire all the US Attorneys — have become part of the scandal that threatens to end Gonzales's current job as attorney general.
From the office of the previous attorney general, John Ashcroft, Romney's team includes Barbara Comstock. Comstock later provided legal defense for both Tom DeLay, in his corruption indictments, and Scooter Libby, in his perjury conviction.
Another name that has become a part of Romney's fundraising family is Joe Dilg, managing partner of Vinson & Elkins in Houston. There, Dilg was lead attorney on the law firm's biggest account: Enron Corporation. A bankruptcy examiner found that Dilg's firm was either negligent, or else actively aided and abetted Enron officers in their breaches of fiduciary duties. The company was also lead outside counsel for another company you might have heard of: Halliburton.
Finally, by odd coincidence, Dilg gave Alberto Gonzales his first job out of law school. It's a small world, no?
Hillary's fundraising spinFor some months, Hillary Clinton's campaign has been scaring the world with talk of her expected mammoth fundraising numbers. And when the first quarter ended last weekend, her campaign was the first out bragging about the take, claiming a triumphant $36 million figure.

Rare sightings of dancing, blue-footed birds are being recorded along the Point Reyes Peninsula and other areas of the county's coast.
The arrival of the blue-footed booby along Marin's coast is part of an invasion of the species into the state as the birds stray far from their normal roaming grounds from the Galapagos Islands to the Sea of Cortez.
Birder and Marin Audubon member Len Blumin of Mill Valley saw one of the birds Thursday afternoon at Chimney Rock.
"It is a striking bird," Blumin said. "We were lucky to have seen it."
There was a report of one off of Rodeo Beach recently and of two at the Point Reyes Lighthouse Thursday morning. Point Blue Conservation Science researchers on the Farallon Islands also reported a sighting of the species Thursday morning.
The blue-footed booby is known for its long, pointed beak, clumsy waddle and unique seafoam-blue webbed feet — a combination that makes the bird look like it walked off a Pixar movie set.
And don't forget its one-foot-up, one-foot-down mating dance performed by the male of the species.
The booby seen Thursday was perched on a rock for about an hour, and Blumin was able to see the last 10 minutes of the display.
"There must have been about 10 of us there and we all got to see it before it flew off," he said. It was the first time Blumin has seen the species in Marin in two decades of birding. "This was a juvenile, which normally don't have the bright coloring, but this one did around its face."
The sightings in Marin and in other parts of the state have caused a stir in the birding world.
"Huge excitement for birders," said Brian Sullivan, a locally based director of eBird.org, a project of the New York-based Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where one of the Point Reyes sightings is officially noted. "Right now there's lots of birders out there to see and document this invasion."
The last time this number of the species was seen in the state was 1971. Experts believe the boobies are being pushed up the California coast because of a collapse of their food supply in Mexico. The combination of food scarcity following robust breeding seasons may explain why this event, as in 1971, features mostly juvenile birds.
"The blue-footed booby are really set up to take advantage of good years," said Bernie Tershy, a UC Santa Cruz professor who wrote his dissertation on the boobies.
He noted that while other kind of boobies will hatch one chick, the blue-footed variety can hatch up to four.
"Their population can increase dramatically during good years," he said.
