Overexposed, QuasiTrolls, Dems, Etc. (Yes, Another Cindy Diary)
by georgia10

Noticed what has happened lately?
We've been lucky to have Cindy Sheehan post updates here. And we've also had an influx of trolls flinging Linbaugh talking points. But let's take a step back.
I support Cindy Sheehan 100%. I think she has more courage in her little finger than the entire Democratic Party at this point. I stand in awe of her perseverence and ability to speak plainly, truthfully, and with integrity.
Having said that, I am a bit troubled by the way Kossacks (and Democrats as a whole) have responded to her cause.
georgia10's diary :: ::
Cindy is an amazing person with an uncanny ability to inspire those across the county--but she is a person. As such, she is subject to the same mistakes and pressures felt by anyone in the spotlight.
She is a mother, but not Mother Teresa. Now, I myself along with others have pointed to Cindy as evidence of the resurgent anti-war movement. But I fear what has plagued the anti-war movement over the last few years may also come to cripple Cindy's cause as well.
We saw it two and half years ago, when MILLIONS across the globe gathered to protest the war. The media covered it. Intensely. But then moved on.
And so it will be with Cindy. As quite a few have pointed out here, Cindy is getting A LOT of exposure. Some have wondered whether she is overexposed.. Others have questioned her "strategy" and the coordination with progressive groups.
I think it is CRITICAL in all of this that remember what Camp Casey is really about. It is about a mother's personal journey, her individual campaign to seek answers from the President. It is about Cindy.
We are so starved for leadership, that I think many of us (myself included) look to Cindy like she will Get Us Out Of This. For the first time in a long time, the media is using words like "protest" and "anti-war" and "seek the truth." It excites us and feeds that flickering flame of hope we've held inside us over the last four years. With everyone from radio to TV to cable news buzzing about Cindy's quest, there is a twinge of This May Be It. Her quest might be the turning point. It may be the one event that will cause four years of deceit and lies to snowball down in an avalanche of truth.
But I've had that feeling before. Many, many times. You get your hopes up, only to have them dashed away as time slowly passes and you realize that nothing ever turns out the way you imagine it.
So no, Cindy will not resurrect the anti-war movement to the point that we'll actually get the troops out of Iraq, or to the point that any Bush official will admit mistake. And no, Cindy will not single-handedly sink Bush's numbers under 30. We cannot, and should not, expect Cindy to carry the burden of the entire progressive movement. We cannot, and should not, treat her as a politician and expect her to say the right things or 'stay on message' lest she screw up 'the cause' or feed the right wing noise machine.
We should not do these because she is a person. She is an average mom, doing the extraordinary. Let her follow her heart. Whether it takes her home after Crawford or straight to D.C., she will travel on her own path. Whether her statements are "inconsistent" or whether she's "overexposed" should be of no consequence to us. I'm sure she doesn't care. From what I gather, she cares only about one thing. Meeting with the President, face to face, to talk about her son and to get some answers so that her unsettled heart may finally get some rest.
For all the energy that is devoted to Cindy, to parsing every interview to the diaries seeking to clarify her position on issue X or issue Y, let us take just 5% of that energy and direct it at the proper place. Our elected leaders.
Cindy's quest is a personal one. May she be successful and may she find the answers she seeks.
Our quest, our duty, is to take what we learn from her personal struggle and apply it nationally.
Where are the diaries strategizing on TRULY advancing the truth within the Democratic Party? Cindy will camp out, and her legacy is already written; however, as we know, the media will move on. And where will we be? What would we have learned from her? Will we call on our party leaders to show the same courage and conviction as she has? We should. While Cindy's voice rings clear with reason and direction, our party's voice on the issue is meek, and muffled.
While Cindy may arguably be "overexposed", the party's position on the war hasn't even been conceived, let alone covered in the media.
Is the Democratic Party anti-war? Anti Iraq War? Is ours a party that is willing, like Cindy, to speak factually, concisely, and plainly to the American people? It doesn't seem like it.
So long after Cindy's quest has ended, after the port-a-potties and banners are put away, where will we be? Who will inspire us? Who will we rally around? Who will honor the troops by promising to bring them home?
The blue Warhawks? The buzznames of the 2008 Presidential campaign? Our party leaders? For all the energy Cindy has injected into the grassroots anti-war (pro-truth?) movement, I regretfully expect it all to dissipate as soon as she leaves the national scene. And then, my friends, it's back to business as usual.
It'll be back to Hillary's call for an expanded military and "strong military presence." It'll be back to Joe "Talk Circuit Whore" Biden who seems to want to talk about everything under the sun--expect of course about the Democratic response to this illegal war. It'll be back to wishing for the old John Kerry. It'll be back to wishing, hoping, WAITING for someone, anyone, to lead us and this nation toward a better course. And that wait, that agonizing wait that's been aching in our heart ever since this heinous war began, will seem endless. And it may well be endless. Because no one, save a greiving mother, seems to care.
So, as for Cindy, let us support her and lend her our hearts as she bravely continues on her personal mission for peace. But at the same time, let us realize that this battle--this battle for the safety of our troops and our nation--cannot be fought in one dimension alone.
Cindy's fight will not change the world. It will change her world, and those around her, and it will help light a flame of courage that I, for one, thought was extinguished long ago.
But then it falls to US to feed that flame. it falls on US, not just on Cindy, to hold this president accountable. It falls on US to follow Cindy's example and question not only the President, but OUR OWN LEADERS and demand to know WHY. Why they continue to shrink from the truth. Why they continue to be ambigious, ambivalent, and unresponsive. Why they haven't talked about an exit strategy. And, most critically, why do they expect our support when a single mother's actions have put them all to shame.

Wow!!! ON THE MONEY!!! This should article deserves more attention. Unfortunately, I have a feeling there is too much being posted on this site for people to read every article.
The media has just ignored everything else up to this point.
I mean how can 350+ simultaneous demostrations across the nation not be newsworthy.
We do need to do more, but we need MUST SEE TV protest...
I really admire what Cindy Sheehan is doing. I am also very concerned that the media will focus on her to the exclusion of DSM, the Rove, Liddy outing of Plame-Wilson. Granted Sheehan will sway the opinions of a few people, but will her cause impeach Bush? I don't think so - exposing the sordid truth behind the lies that led to the war that took Casey Sheehan's life, putting our national security at risk for a petty schoolyard I'm-gonna-get-you reasons. These are the things that will bring down the house of Bush. But now that Cindy has come on the scene, the media's focus (including After Downing Street dot Org's) has "moved on" and DSM and Rove have become last weeks news. All this incident in Crawford will prove is what we already know: that Bush is an asshole, that won't impeach him. Proving that Iraq was a premeditated abuse of power will.
I intend to do whatever I can to feed that flame. I will sign any progressive petition I can find. I will continue to urge my Congressional representatives to sponsor or co-sponsor progressive legislation, resolutions of inquiry, etc. (I have already let them know I will probably be looking hard at the PDA or a 3rd party in upcoming elections). I will continue to write Letters to the Editor of "The Newspaper Iowa Depends Upon" regarding the DSM, Rovegate, and anything else related to the lying and manipulation that got us into this war.
- It is my fervent hope that Reps. Conyers, Lee, Waters, Waxman, and others in the House, along with Senator Dorgan?/Durbin? (whichever one was at that hearing of ex-members of the Intelligence community on the seriousness of outing a CIA agent's identity) will keep this flame alive on the floors of Congress.

"After we had conducted thousands of experiments on a certain project without solving the problem, one of my associates, after we had conducted the crowning experiment and it had proved a failure, expressed discouragement and disgust over our having failed to find out anything. I cheerily assured him that we had learned something. For we had learned for a certainty that the thing couldn't be done that way, and that we would have to try some other way." -- Thomas Edison, the January 1921 issue of American Magazine
It's worth taking up initiatives that might not work, especially if the end result is something that would be worth reaching.
"Let's take a crack at this... it might not work, but let's see what happens..."
If you're trying to break new ground that hasn't been done before, you have to do so knowing that any given way you try to move forward is unlikely to work. You make a rough hypothesis and plan, you give it a shot, and you see if it pays the desired result at a reasonable cost.
It likely won't, but you usually learn something.
This applies, too, when you're chasing down more normal goals. Empirically, most people fail with their first attempts at a fitness regime, at improving sleep quality, at improving efficiency, at reading more, at socializing more, at earning more, at all sorts of things. The second, third, and fourth attempts also often fail as well.
But if you're dead-sure it's worth getting, you keep trying it different ways. You might take the same fundamental approach with a different mindset or slightly different implementation, or you might try something radically different. But you keep trying.
Most people need a sense of certainty that their plans will work, or they won't start. So they'll engage in complete certain but not-so-valuable activities. It lets them feel good, and feel smart, sort of. But embracing the other way -- "hey, this might not work (and likely won't) but I'll definitely learn something" -- is not only more fun, but it seems to lead to a much more enriching life.
Certainty isn't required to try things, and isn't possible for any given way to breaking new ground.
Take a crack at something meaningful. You're only going to succeed, even if it doesn't work.
I call this approach "joyful negativity." I assume most of my efforts will fail and accept that outcome. In truth, most efforts are at least moderately successful, which expands my joy to something higher. The times when I really do something cool or find some other reward are sheer bliss. Set your expectations low, keep your effort on high, and you cannot help but be pleased with the results. That's just my personal philosophy. Sisyphus did it another way . . . .
Personally, I'd add a caveat: Take a crack at something meaningful so long as you don't die ... In other words, if the maximum possible downside is tolerable, and the maximum possible upside is tremendous (this asymmetry qualifies an activity as "meaningful"), then take the leap.
That begs the question: How do you know what the maximum possible downside is? and that's a topic for an entire book ... ('Antifragile' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
One excellent summary of the book here http://newbooksinbrief.com/2012/12/17/26-a-summary-of-antifragile-things-that-gain-from-disorder-by-nassim-nicholas-taleb/
That site has a lot of great discussions (along with podcasts) on the most recent books.
What's cyclothymia? It's a mild form of the docs used to call "manic-depression," but which they re-name periodically. Cyclothymics can actually function decently well, and as such often don't know they've got it. If you cycle through highs and lows, are particularly artistic, or that describes someone you love, then read this post in full and please comment with your own experience. I'm still learning, myself.
Knowing the term "Cyclothymia" would have been very helpful to me a few years ago. This essay is plain English and, if I've done a good job, might help people who associate with a cyclothymic relate better to them, and might help a cyclothymic manage themselves better and produce better.
I'm against the "medical-ization" of life. We need medical terms, but we need to be able to explain things in plain English without labeling. Labeling, by definition, drastically simplifies.
Cyclothymia is simple at its roots, simple enough for a plain discussion without medicalization. Here's how it works for me -
Almost everyone I know is busy as hell. Running companies, contracting, doing creative work, and keeping a huge mix of projects going on.
Keeping busy is good, but sometimes it turns into a tragedy where you've got your head down doing work and duties, but you never get some of that real juice out of your life that you're wanting.
And many of the busy people I know -- myself included -- periodically have a day where they snap back to reality and really feel it for the first time in a while. "Oh god, I'm out of shape, my energy is low, I feel like crap, I'm not doing some of the key projects I love, I'm passing up a lot of really big opportunities stuck in the grind, I'm neglecting my hobbies and what I want to train... and for what?"
This applies just as much to entrepreneurs as people on salary, maybe even moreso. It's very easy as an entrepreneur or executive to get caught up in running around, getting stuck in the "errands" of business, dealing with what's on fire, and really neglecting the really expansionary projects that aren't urgent, your health, and maybe worst of all -- forgetting to have fun.
Is there an answer? Read on...

Doro Pesch @ The Garage
Highbury & Islington, London
November 22nd, 2015
Words: Ann Sulaiman

A week after Europe and the UK were shaken by previous news of terror in France at the Bataclan concert hall, venues in London chose to carry on with hosting live music shows. It was thus fitting that one of these would be Heavy Metal Queen Doro Pesch at The Garage in Highbury & Islington, for the London leg of her European tour. Having styled herself as a champion for freedom and love through the genre, it can be said that Doro was a symbol of hope for this reporter, while also being a symbol of the 80's for her better known Warlock days.

Originally posted on isportsweb.com | Last updated 12/20/12
2012 is about to draw to a close. For the Seattle Mariners, this meant addressing their biggest flaw from the last couple of seasons, lack of offense, to stay competitive in the A.L West. The Mariners were linked to every available bat it seems at the Winter Meetings but left with only one signing: Jason Bay. Striking out in the free agent market, Seattle once again looked to bolster their roster with a trade. Last night, a deal was struck: starting pitcher Jason Vargas was sent to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for Kendrys Morales. Morales adds much need pop to the middle of the order. In 2009, Morales hit 34 HR and 108 RBI for the Angels while hitting .306. Injury cut short his 2010 and made him miss 2011, but he bounced back in 2012. Morales proved he still had power bashing 22 HR and 73 RBI while hitting .273. If he been on Seattle in 2012, those numbers would've lead the Mariners in HR and AVG, and he was only 13 back of Kyle Seager for the team RBI lead. Kendrys can play both 1B and DH giving the Mariners a couple of options. Jesus Montero, now with the departure of Miguel Olivo, will probably get more time at C than DH opening up the DH spot for Morales. This team wasn't going to be any better without adding pop to the middle of the order, and Morales fills that hole. Seattle Mariners fans hope this will be a common sight in 2013: Kendrys Morales celebrating a home run. But, once again, Seattle had to take from their strength: starting pitching. In the last two seasons, the Mariners have traded Erik Bedard, Doug Fister, Michael Pineda, and now Vargas. Vargas developed in the No. 2 pitcher in the rotation behind King Felix. He led the Mariners in victories going 14-11 with a 3.85 ERA. Seattle's rotation is now King Felix and some question marks. I assume Hisashi Iwakuma will take over the No. 2 spot after an impressive second half of the season in the rotation. Blake Beavan (11-11, 4.43), another starter who had a nice second half, would be the No. 3 going into Spring Training. After that, it looks like the Mariners are going to tap into their young talent to fill out the rotation, possibly the highly touted arms of Danny Hultzen and Taijuan Walker. The Mariners need Morales; that can't be argued. But, in the process, they strengthened a division rival who is already ahead of them. The Angels finished ahead of Seattle in the standings and added the top free agent of the off season, Josh Hamilton. Starting pitching took a hit for Anaheim: they had lost Ervin Santana, Zach Greinke, and Dan Haren. Sometimes trades benefit both teams, but the Mariners paid a high price to get a much needed bat. In Vargas, the Angels get a starting pitcher who has topped 190 IP in the last three seasons. While not on the level of a Greinke or a Haren, Vargas is a proven starter who has proved himself in the A.L. West. Meanwhile, Seattle has to replace the 200 IP that Vargas filled. The Mariners' youth has been highly rated; they will need to come through in the rotation if the Mariners are going to continue to move forward in 2013.

Date of Stay: October, 2010
If you plan on sleeping this is NOT the park for you--overhead train tracks with trains averaging about one an hour all night, in the flight path of planes all day and night, garbage pick-up at 3:30 a.m. We were lucky enough to get a site within 20' of the front door of a restaurant that is well-lit. For $55 a night there are no amenities other than a laundry where half of the dryers are out of order, and bathrooms. Rules are very strict and if you have a dog forget about an area within the park for them to do their jobs--go out the back gate and walk along the road in a slight ditch. No trees or shade to be found with drive thru sites. THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE park we have ever been in and we have been in 41 states in the last three years. Now for the only plus we found are the sites--very wide and long for the biggest rigs. The on site restaurant is open to the public so there isn't any security any time of the day or night. According to Traiter Life this park is highly rated and we can only go by that and the description the park provides to make our decision to stay. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Date of Stay: October, 2010
It is a very nice small park. The staff is extremely friendly as are seasonal campers. It is close to town and relatively quiet. The park is clean. We would go to again. There is a nice playground area for children plus an outdoor pool. They also have antiques for sale.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
Love this park!! Especially nice if you like to gamble; they pick you by shuttle at your site and leave you at the front door of the casino. Park is very clean and has a large pet area. The staff from the the check-in to maintenance and security are great! Plenty of garbage containers throughout the park. Each site has a patio, picnic table and fire pit/barbecue. For everything that is included in the camping fee this is a great value. Has a nice play area for kids: volleyball, basketball, pool, inside game room to play cards or other table games. You also have access to all three hotels (Grand Casino hotels) to use the pools if the weather outside is not good for the campground pool. Hope to spend more time there in the future.

By Ross Newhan
I have returned from a Costa Rica vacation--yes, I did the zipline through the cloud forest and even the Tarzan Swing with my eyes open--to learn from knowledgeable sources who are not authorized to speak publicly that that the auction sale of the Dodgers may be closer to $2 billion than the previously anticipated $1.5 billion, possibly doubling the record $885 million that Tom Ricketts and family paid for the Chicago Cubs.
It is incomprehensible that Frank McCourt--given the commissioner's and the community's distaste for the man and the desire to terminate his ownership--will emerge with a check that should easily erase his $700 or so million in debt, sustain the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed and possibly still leave him as owner of the Dodger Stadium parking lot---a potential goldmine for development.
It is true this was once a flagship franchise, but how high the flag and how promising are the riches from the inetivable TV contract, an obvious reason that both Fox and Time-Warner are willing to join forces with a prospective bidder as a minority partner, each unwilling to let the other out of sight and/or with a foot in the door.
In the final two-plus weeks of February, the 11 groups that made it through the first round of bidding are in the process of submitting second bids, nailing down financing and, in some cases, possibly adding investors or merging with other groups--a process that Blackstone Advisory Partners, handling the sale for McCourt, has encouraged as a means of building a solid financial foundation for each of the respective and surviving bidders.
McCourt will reduce the 11 to five in March and turn those groups over to baseball's ownership and executive committees for vetting, including investigations into the financial and operational structure of the five survivors--both on paper and in personal meetings--before the survivors of that process go back to McCourt, who must select a winner by April 1 and complete the sale by April 30.
The winner?
It is hard to ignore the check writing ability of Steve Cohen--linked to Steve Greenberg, the former deputy commissioner, and L.A. attorney and player agent Arn Tellem--or the check writing ability of Mark Walter, who is linked to Magic Johnson and Stan Kasten.
On the other hand, there are others with the resources of Cohen and Walter and there is said to be considerable maneuvering behind the scenes. Rick Caruso and Joe Torre, for instance, may have picked up important financial support recently via union with a member of the Thomson family, the richest in Canada, according to the sources with knowledge of the situation.
Those sources also revealed that none of the investors are particularly happy with the Dodgers' eight year, $160 million, back loaded signing of Matt Kemp, and the two year, $19 million contract to Clayton Kershaw.
"Who with the Dodgers is giving out those kinds of contracts at this point?" said one of the sources. "I mean, two years to Kershaw when you are not buying out free agency or arbitration? That's almost as much as (two time Cy Young Award winner) Tim Lincicum got from the Giants."

Geographic rivals Baltimore and Washington meet for game two of their three games set at Camden Yards tonight as the Orioles look to take the series after last night's 2-1 victory. This evening's contest is scheduled to get underway at 7:15pm ET. MLB Point Spreads are favoring Baltimore at -115 moneyline odds; the Nationals are getting -200 odds (+1.5) on the run line and +105 odds to win outright. Tonight's game total is set at 8.5 runs.
Baltimore snapped a three game skid last night with a 2-1 win over the Nationals. Orioles starter Jason Hammel was outstanding in the tightly contested contest, allowing five hits and no earned runs in eight innings of work. Hammel, who fanned a career high 10 batters, improved to 8-2 with the win. Baltimore brought its record to 40-30 and closed to within a 1.5 games of regaining the AL East lead over the Yankees.
Washington, now 40-28 overall, saw its NL East lead slip to 2.5 games over the Mets, who have won four straight games. The Nationals will look to bounce back from last night's loss and keep a little breathing room between themselves and New York by sending the well traveled Edwin Jackson to the hill.
Jackson is 3-4 with a 3.02 ERA this season; however, despite those quality numbers, Washington has won just four times in his 13 starts and two of those wins came earlier this month. The nine year veteran took the loss his last time out after giving up seven hits and two earned runs over six innings in a 4-1 setback opposite the Yankees.
Countering Jackson for the Orioles will be rookie left hander Wei-Yin Chen. Chen owns a 7-2 record and 3.36 ERA in 13 starts and he is coming of his best outing of the season. The Taiwan native worked seven innings in a 2-0 win over the Braves, allowing just six hits and zero earned runs. Chen is 4-0 in six starts at Camden Yards where his ERA is an impressive 2.72.
MLB Point Spreads Betting Trend: The Nationals are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a road dog with a total between 8.5 and 9 runs.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's Crazy New Film Gets Trailer
All hail the return of Alejandro Jodorowsky! After 23 years, the legendary Chilean-French director of El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989) is set to release his first directorial effort since 1990's The Rainbow Thief. The film is called The Dance of Reality and it looks... well, incredibly "far-out". But then, we shouldn't really be surprised should we?
Forget that the trailer isn't in English – it doesn't matter. Those colours! That wig! That dog in the hat! This is easily the greatest news we've heard since hearing Paul Thomas Anderson's new film has gone into production, mainly because Jodorowsky is the cult filmmaker par excellence. And, as evidenced by this trailer, there really is no one as visually audacious as the 84-year-old.
Oh, and the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, about the director's failed attempt to adapt Frank Herbert's 'Dune', is also premiering at Cannes this month. While interesting-looking, we doubt it will offer the same kind of mind-warping pleasures that The Dance of Reality looks set to offer.
Stay tuned for more info.

Mummy has gone mad. She was asking Ah Ma a stupid Qian Bian question
"Xiao ming drinks milk while growing up. What does Da Ming drink?".
Ah Ma being the more intelligent being in the house, ignore Mummy and continued with her TV show.
Mummy seeing that Ah Ma had no intention to answer that stupid question, blurted out the answer "Alcohol" because there is a Chinese Idiom "Jiu Yang Da Ming".
Then Mummy got silly and ask ME a question "Xiao Hei, Xiao Lan, Xiao Huang, Xiao Bai... who cannot stand rollercoasters?"
So I guessed Xiao Hei cause I'm a pepper coloured Schnaunzer and black is quite a close colour.
She said wrongggggggggg and then pointed at Ying.
So I guessed Xiao Bai cause Ying is white.
And Mummy said correcttttttttt because Xiao Bai Tu (vomits)!
exercise me while I go bang my head,
I'm still around hopping like a rabbit when Mummy calls me, but I've been lazy climbing up to the study table to play with Toshi.
Mummy told me that she'll be off to HK next week for work. One whole week of no Mummy! :(
I wonder if she will buy me egg tarts from HK, I heard they are good.
We moved we moved!! Yippy! I'm happy because I can now see Ah ma and ah gong more often. Previously they had to shuttle between the two homes.
Everyone's happier. Ying and me are happy too. :)
Mummy is such a geek. She told me her happiest moment in the house thus far was hooking up the wireless router so everyone can go online at the same time.
Mad one.

Christina Aguilera's Semi-Nude Private Pics Stolen
Posted Wednesday December 8, 2010 5:21 PM GMT
Not planning on letting the perpetrator get away with his/her actions, Christina Aguilera is quite upset over semi-nude photos which were stolen from her computer by a hacker.
The "Candy Man" singer's rep released a statement saying, "The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera's home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist."
"The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina's personal stylist's account."
"We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively," the statement continues. "Their conduct is reprehensible."

Census tracks 20 years of sweeping change
What changes two decades have wrought.
The USA is bigger, older, more Hispanic and Asian and less wedded to marriage and traditional families than it was in 1990. It also is less enamored of kids, more embracing of several generations living under one roof, more inclusive of same-sex couples, more cognizant of multiracial identities, more suburban, less rural and leaning more to the South and West.
Results of the 2010 Census have been pouring out all year, an avalanche of statistics detailing the population characteristics of states, counties and cities. But the Census represents more than just a current snapshot.
The end of the first decade of the 21st century marks a turning point in the nation's social, cultural, geographic, racial and ethnic fabric. It's a shift so profound that it reveals an America that seemed unlikely a mere 20 years ago — one that will influence the nation for years to come in everything from who is elected to run the country, states and cities to what type of houses will be built and where.
INTERACTIVE: Census numbers from your state, town
The metamorphosis over just two decades stuns even demographers and social observers.
"It was always predicted that we would be diverse, but it's happened faster than anyone predicted," says Cheryl Russell, former editor in chief of American Demographics magazine, now editorial director of New Strategist Publications, publisher of reference tools. "Diversity and the rapid growth in diversity is one of the reasons we have a black president today. That's one thing that would never have been predicted."
2010 photo by Todd Plitt for USA TODAY
Marketers can customize sales pitches for more age niches now as groups such as "tweens," "starting adults" and "oldest old" have found their way onto the life-stages continuum.
The black-white racial dynamics that have dominated much of the nation's history have been scrambled by the explosive growth of Hispanics. In most southern states where the black-white legacy has deep roots, Hispanics have accounted for most of the population gains during the past decade.
"An entire Venezuela's worth of Hispanics was added in just those two decades," says Robert Lang, an urban sociologist at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. That's about 30 million, or half of the nation's growth since 1990.
"Everything about America now has to do with diversity that we could hardly recognize in 1990," says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution. The change will be felt for years to come as whites and blacks age and young Hispanics dominate in more places.
"By 2050, Americans will look back at the controversies around immigration, controversies about diversity and wonder what the big deal was," Lang says.
The starkest evidence of the cultural revolution the nation has undergone in two decades lies in the first government reporting of same-sex households.
"That is huge," Russell says. "Usually, attitudinal change occurs as one generation replaces another'' but this happened faster.
"In 1990, people were still thinking of family as what you saw on TV sitcoms," Frey says — mainly mom and dad and two kids. "It still stuck in people's minds as the norm."
The facts behind the new norm:
Who's home
The traditional nuclear family — one or two adults and their young children — continues to ebb. In its place, a grab bag of alternatives has appeared or begun growing after decades of decline:
•Among families. Various forms of three generations under one roof; adult children returning to their parents' home, sometimes with a spouse and their own children or both; blended families that include stepparents or stepchildren; and extended families that include a parent, a child, cousins and others, related or not.
•Among unrelated people. A wide variety of living arrangements have flourished among all ages: unmarried partner couples, both same-sex or opposite sex, sometimes with their own or related children or adult roommates.
•Living solo. The share of one-person households continues to grow, up from 25% in 1990 to 27%. The recession has slowed the trend by forcing some young adults to live with parents or roommates. But as Baby Boomers flood into their empty-nesting years and beyond, the trend could accelerate. In many Western European countries, more than one-third of households consist of just one person.
•Multigenerational households. At the other end of the spectrum, a growing share of homes includes more than one generation of a family. The average household size has stopped shrinking and begun to grow for the first time in a half-century, partly buoyed by the influx of immigrant famlies.
Immigrants are more likely to have young children and live with siblings, parents or other relatives. By one broad definition, 16% of U.S. households are multigenerational (two or more), up from 14% in 1990, according to the Pew Research Center. The Census defines multigenerational as three or more generations of the same family. In 2010, they made up 4% of households.
•Fewer kids. Only one-third of households now have children, and the share of households that have kids under age 18 dropped in 95% of counties, changing the flavor of neighborhoods in cities and suburbs.
The opposite is happening in areas populated predominantly by immigrants. The 1.9 million-person gain in the under-18 population since 2000 was fueled completely by racial and ethnic minorities. Hispanic fertility is at 2.9 births per woman, much higher than the national average of 2.1.
At 24%, the proportion of residents who are 18 and under is at an all-time low, according to the Population Reference Bureau. It was 25.6% in 1990. Twenty-three states and Washington, D.C., lost 10% or more of their child populations just in the last decade.
Having children increasingly has become detached from marriage. The share of births by unmarried women has risen from 26% to 41% since 1990 and could be headed higher. Among Hispanics, it's 53%; among blacks, it's 73%. In several European countries, half to two-thirds of all children are born to unmarried women.
One of the most significant demographic trends of the past 20 years is the explosive growth of Hispanics. Now at 50 million — almost one in six Americans — Hispanics have more than doubled their numbers in 1990.
The Hispanic boom has spread far beyond traditional immigrant gateways such as California and Florida, altering the American landscape in states such as Kansas and North Carolina.
Just more than 1% of North Carolina 6.6 million residents were Hispanic in 1990. In 2010: Almost 7% of 9.5 million people were.
Asians grew at a similarly rapid rate but they still account for a small share of the population (4.7%). Since 2000, more Asians were added (4.3 million) to the population than blacks (3.7 million).
Hispanics surpassed blacks in 2003. African Americans' presence in some traditional strongholds is shrinking. They are leaving cities and heading for the suburbs or returning to the South.
Fifty-seven percent of the USA's blacks live in the South, the highest since 1960. Some are retirees settling in Florida and North Carolina; others are professionals lured by thriving metropolitan areas in Texas and Georgia.
Most of Chicago's population declines since 2000 were due to a loss of more than 181,000 black residents. There were declines in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Dallas and Atlanta. The black population in Washington, D.C., is slipping below 50%.
The USA's racial and ethnic balance has been further upset by the growing number of Americans who claim more than one race.
The change happened in 2000, when the government first allowed people to pick two or more races on Census forms. The 9 million who did make up almost 2% of the population, up from 1.6% in 2000.
One in seven new marriages include spouses of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, according to the Population Reference Bureau. In 2010, 5.6% of children under age 18 reported two or more races compared with 2.1% of adults.
The Census projects that less than half of the U.S. population will be white and not Hispanic by 2042 — a moving target that will be influenced by future immigration and fertility patterns.
Gender evolution
Gender roles have been redefined.
One of the biggest changes is the delay and eclipse of marriage. Half of women who marry wait until 26 to do so, up from 24 in 1990. For men, half don't marry until they are older than 28, up from 26.
Part of the delay may stem from higher education levels. Women have made such giant leaps that they now dominate men at every level of higher education in earning degrees. The most recent Department of Education statistics show that 51% of doctoral degrees went to women in 2007-08, up from 42% in just 10 years.
"For a lot of women, marriage is a disadvantage," Russell says. "Women would end up supporting the men."
The educational gender gap is widening, but men's life expectancy, still lagging women's, is rising at a faster rate.
Since 1990, life expectancy for men who make it to retirement has grown at almost three times the rate that it has for women, according to preliminary 2009 data from the National Center on Health Statistics.
A 65-year-old man today is expected to live another 17.3 years, women 20 years — up 15% for men and just 6% for women.
In 1990, a 65-year-old man was expected to live an extra 15.1 years and women 18.9.
The same is happening for those who reach the age of 75: Men's life expectancy has gained 14%, women's 4%.
Much of the gain for men is the result of lower lung cancer rates (men smoked more before the anti-smoking crusade began a generation ago) and better heart disease treatment and prevention.
Men have shown steady annual gains of 0.2 years in life expectancy in recent years while the rate for women gained less or stayed flat.
Where we live
•The pull of suburbia did not let up despite an urban renaissance fueled by empty nesters and the young and childless. More than half of Americans — about 158 million — are suburbanites. In 1990, just over 48% were. In just 20 years, almost 40 million more people lived in suburbs.
•Rural areas continued their decline, their population remaining stagnant over 20 years at 50 million. Rural residents now make up only 16% of total population, down from 20% in 1990.
"Remote rural counties grew the least and the outer suburbs of large metro areas grew the most during the 20-year period," says Kenneth Johnson, demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute. "In rural areas, farm counties grew the least and retirement counties grew the most."
•The nation is tipping south and west. The allure of Sun Belt states such as California and Florida was in full bloom 20 years ago, but no one saw the population explosion that hit states throughout the region, from North Carolina to Nevada.
"We knew people were moving to the Sun Belt but we didn't know people were moving to the interior part of the Sun Belt," Frey says. "This time, California didn't even gain a seat in Congress but Nevada, Arizona and Utah all gained seats. These are the new pioneering areas of the U.S."
At the same time, growth slowed in the Northeast and Midwest, where less than 40% of the U.S. population lives now compared with more than 44% in 1990. More than 37% now live in the South and 23% in the West. For the first time, more people live in the West than the Midwest. Twenty years ago, the West first surpassed the Northeast.
"It's not something we would have foreseen, this emptying out of the industrial Midwest," Frey says. "This decade has made that much more permanent, much more dramatic."
•Because of suburbanization, cities that were mere specks on the map 20 years ago are major urban centers today. Frisco, Texas, for example, a northern suburb of Dallas, was a hamlet of 6,141 in 1990. In 2010: 116,989.
"It's the newest city in America with more than 100,000 people," says Lang, who coined the term "boomburbs."
Life stages for Americans
Tweens? twentysomethings? Young professionals? Oldest old?
Partly because of longevity, largely because of economic and cultural influences, life stages are stretching far beyond the five traditional categories — kids, teens, young adults, middle-aged and old. That gives marketers more sales pitches to customize for age niches.
Children go from being children to the in-between stage of tweenhood that precedes teenage years. Young adults, staying in college longer and many moving back home after they graduate, are in a new stage of delayed adulthood.
"It's partly the extension of childhood to about age 30 at this point," Russell says. "Because of education, the time it takes to establish a career and marry, people are about 30. That's when, interestingly, voting rates rise."
In 2010, 24 million adult children lived at home, she says, many of them because they can't find jobs or can't afford housing.
"That's one of the surprises," Russell says. "Who knew in 1990, when boomers were young adults, that they would be so family-oriented? … First, they were family-oriented by choice and now it's by necessity."
People are living longer and older people are working longer, creating new degrees of aging.
The 85-plus population climbed from about 3 million in 1990 (1.2% of the population), to 5.5 million — 1.8% —in 2010.
"We didn't appreciate how old the white population would get in 20 years," Frey says, and how diverse the younger population would get. "The future is people of all races and ethnicities."

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says rising food costs, budget concerns will result in inmates paying for meals
"Everybody else has to pay for food, why should they [inmates] get freebies," said Arpaio.
Arpaio confirmed to ABC15 that beginning in March, he is planning to charge each inmate $1 per day for the cost of their meals.
Arpaio explained there are a couple different ways to collect the money, starting with the moment someone is booked into the facility.
"They're coming to jail and they have money in their pocket, that's going to be the first priority," said Arpaio.
According to Arpaio, the other way to collect will be from jail accounts. As money is placed in an inmate's account by family and friends that money would be subjected to the $1 a day fee.
"We're going to make sure we use that money before they [inmates] go to the canteen to buy some chocolate bars," Arpaio explained.

A couple of years ago, the plant manager decreed that all motors over 10HP would have vibration monitoring. Because problems can be nipped in the bud and nipped during scheduled downtime rather than during an unexpected failure, this has dramatically improved equipment availability and plant output. In nearly every case, the motor pedestal was weak or the motor wasn't mounted properly. In one case, the foundation had cracked and was replaced with one made of reinforced concrete. But ...

Call Ford and they'll tell you it is Sirius' fault and they are not sending the signal. Tell them that it is amazingly coincidental that after every reset/reboot the signal is suddenly there. Ask them how Sirius knows you just did a reset/reboot and suddenly knew to send out a signal. You will get nothing but silence on the other end of the phone (trust me, I've done it).
I've tested every single thing I could think of to fix this/get it working better. Everything I have tried leads me one conclusion - this is entirely a problem with MFT and has nothing to do with Sirius.
Worked flawlessly when I had 2.11.
Wasn't 3.22 supposed to specifically fix this? On 3.0.2 I've lost my traffic whenever I've had a serious need for it.

Try Creminelli Artisan Cured Meats at Foodland
The term "Artisan" has been sort of loosely thrown about lately, but what does it really mean? Well, the definition of "artisan" is a person or company that makes a high-quality, distinctive product in small quantities, usually by hand and using traditional methods...
So when I think of truly "Artisan" foods, Cristiano Creminelli and his line of handcrafted cured meats made from old time family recipes comes to mind.

Tyres / Wheels on JCG
I have ordered a new J.C.G overland and getting a 4wd package installed, in that package I noticed that the wheels get changed to the Limited 18", which is better for tires. What I need to know, I have been told these are the sizes, as I want to swap these tires out from brand new to Cooper ATR3.
I am in Australia to :thumbsup:
Main Tires:
Michelin latitude tour tires P265/60R18
Spare Tire:
Michelin latitude tour tires P246/65R18 109T
1.will a 265/60R18 tire fit on the spare?
2. What is the spare rim size, same as on car?
3.Does anybody actually have a MY14 Overland to supply me the tire plaque details, as my dealer cant get me one?
Any detailed photos of tires / wheels and spare would be great to as the dealer cant supply anything as they don't have a ooverland
Any further details in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

About Montreal
Montreal is a very European city in North America. It is the second largest city in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec. The primary language spoken in Montreal is French, though a sizable population speaks English.
Montreal is often considered the culture capital of Canada. It is home to many universities and has a thriving nightlife. Old Montreal, southeast of downtown, features cobbled streets, European architecture, and many historical sites including Montreal City Hall, Pointe-à-Callière Museum, the Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica, the Bonsecours Market and the Montreal Science Centre.
The Old Port, adjacent to Old Montreal, used to be the main port in the city. That has now moved, and the Old Port is home to a recreation park. Montreal is also home to many cultural and entertainment groups and institutions, including world class music, dance, and theater venues. It was host to the 1976 Olympic Games and the NHL Montreal Canadieans are now one of its foremost sport teams.
