Did the CIA spy on the Senate?
posted at 8:01 am on March 5, 2014 by Ed Morrissey
More than a decade after it happened, the Senate Intelligence Committee has investigated the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and the secret detention program run out of the Central Intelligence Agency. The report, which McClatchy's sources estimate will run 6,300 pages, is not expected to be complimentary. When that work is complete, the Intelligence Committee may have a brand new topic for a probe, and the Justice Department does now. The Inspector General of the CIA has referred allegations that the CIA spied on the committee and its aides during the investigation to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution:
The CIA Inspector General's Office has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of malfeasance at the spy agency in connection with a yet-to-be released Senate Intelligence Committee report into the CIA's secret detention and interrogation program, McClatchy has learned.
The criminal referral may be related to what several knowledgeable people said was CIA monitoring of computers used by Senate aides to prepare the study. The monitoring may have violated an agreement between the committee and the agency.
The development marks an unprecedented breakdown in relations between the CIA and its congressional overseers amid an extraordinary closed-door battle over the 6,300-page report on the agency's use of waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists held in secret overseas prisons. The report is said to be a searing indictment of the program. The CIA has disputed some of the reports findings. …
The committee determined earlier this year that the CIA monitored computers – in possible violation of an agreement against doing so – that the agency had provided to intelligence committee staff in a secure room at CIA headquarters that the agency insisted they use to review millions of pages of top-secret reports, cables and other documents, according to people with knowledge.
This is among the worst possible accusations that could be levied against an intelligence service in a constitutional republic. For the CIA, it would be doubly worse, since the CIA's charter forbids it to conduct any kind of domestic intelligence; that jurisdiction belongs to the FBI, and it's significantly limited. The legislature oversees CIA, not the other way around, and if the CIA is snooping on their oversight work, that would undermine their authority.
The timing makes it even worse. American intelligence apparently never saw the invasion of Crimea coming; Eli Lake's sources poo-poohed the possibility while the invasion was practically underway. If these allegations turn out to be true, the Senate (and House) Intelligence Committee may well wonder whether the CIA spent too much time trying to peek into its probe rather than do the job it's chartered to do. Add that to the NSA scandal of the last nine months, and it adds up to a very bad time for American intelligence and civilian control.
Of course, these are still allegations, and from the somewhat-ambiguous description, it could be a misunderstanding related to tracking classified material. If there wasn't any substance to the allegations at all or just a misunderstanding, though, the IG wouldn't be referring the matter to Justice. The role of Justice isn't to conduct fact-finding missions, but to open criminal investigations. Ironically, the SSCI report on CIA — which focuses on material misrepresentations made to the Bush administration on interrogation and detention policies, among other things — probably wouldn't have resulted in Justice referrals after all these years.

Frank Church, call yer office.
On August 17, 1975 Senator Frank Church stated on NBC's Meet the Press without mentioning the name of the NSA about this agency:
"In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide.
"If this government ever became a tyrant, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology.
"I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return."

Date of Stay: July, 2014
This is a nice campground. However, the WiFi doesn't work and neither does the cable TV. We did have cell phone service though. Besides the these two advertised items, everything else was great. We will probably go here again just knowing we won't have any WiFi access.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Very nice campground. Managers are very nice people. This is a very family friendly campground with many activities for the kids. Nice pool. We have stayed at this campground several times and will go back to it again. The only drawback for us is that it's a three-hour drive.

Detroit Film Theatre
June 19-20-21 and June 26-27-28, 2009
Detroit Film Theatre
(Norway/2008 – directed by Bent Hamer)
This unpredictable, elegantly deadpan comedy from Norway's Bent Hamer (Kitchen Stories) tells the story of one Odd Horten (played by the amazing Bård Owe) who, after a forty year career and a perfect work record, prepares to retire from his job as a train engineer – a position he has held with pride, dignity, and above all, security. Yet as often happens with the best-laid plans (as today's economy handily demonstrates), Horten's final day on the job is far from predictable, and in the blink of an eye he's set on an unexpected path that leads him in startling new directions undreamed of by him – or by the audience. While reminiscent of some of the great, dark Finnish comedies of director Aki Kaurismäki (Leningrad Cowboys), Hamer's unforgettable portrait of an ordinary man whose regulated life derails in the direction of a poignant and funny chaos has a unique – and uniquely absurd – flavor all its own. A powerful generator of audience "buzz" at the Cannes, Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals, O'Horten is that rarest of movies: a fable at once bizarrely unconventional and deeply reassuring. Norwegian with English subtitles. (90 min.)
"Wonderful… luminous and deliciously funny." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
June 19 and 20 @ 7:00 and 9:30 p.m., June 21 @ 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
June 26 and 27 @ 9:30 p.m., June 28 @ 4:15 p.m.

Well the lights on the gauge cluster currently do not work. I am waiting to get home to check into that problem. Also the kid before me put that 3 slot aftermarket gauge holder up there. It is damn near falling off the thing. So I am going to purchase a new one here soon and reinstall those gauges up there with a little more sturdy one. So what does everyone think about where I should start on modding this thing at? I know I am going to get the interior fixed before I start on anything but as far as mods there is what you see here and aftermarket BOV exhaust all the way back. What should be my next step in building this thing up for some more hosepower and some better looks on it?
post clearer pics and close ups of engine. take a pic of turbo too
Jessie-I see a cool air intake, a NOS fogger system and a T4 turbo dominic, It has direct port nitrous, an AIC controller-

Well if you give me about 2 weeks, I can sell you the OEM cluster from my 03. All of the lights and gauges work just fine. I'm just waiting for my STI cluster to get back from the shop. That would probably be easier than figuring out whatever the kid did. It would take you 5 minutes to swap in a new one.

In a bid to strengthen services and revitalize its image, the United Way of Greater Los Angeles is set to announce about $13 million in funding today to groups around the region, including a range of new programs.
Nearly 140 agencies will receive grants from the area's largest charitable group, down from 188 as the United Way seeks to hone its focus and boost the effectiveness of its grants.
The plan will give dozens of agencies funds for the first time even as the United Way separates from others that have received support for years.
The move targets key areas - fighting homelessness, improving education and providing child care - and comes amid a broader United Way effort to become more involved in public-policy issues.
"We know it's going to be difficult," said Elise Buik, who was brought in more than two years ago to help remake the agency to deal with the pressing issues here. "But we felt we needed to make some changes in who we fund to get more quantifiable results.
"It's always tough to separate from someone you've been working with, but we feel we need to look at the new challenges we are facing in the region."
While the United Way brings in some $58 million in donations each year, two-thirds of that is directed by contributors to specific organizations - leaving $13 million to dole out to other groups.
"I think people, especially in California, like choices," Buik said. "But it shows me we have to give a compelling reason to our donors to give directly to us and look at this as community philanthropy."
United Way officials received funding requests from nearly 500 groups this year, but just 139 will receive funding for what Buik hopes is three years to give them time to show results.
Focused giving
United Way spokeswoman Taulene Ayoub said the number of groups receiving grants was cut from 188 last year to try to provide more money for focused programs.
Several of the groups whose funds were eliminated were receiving grants of $2,000 or less, she said. Transition funds will be provided to some of the groups,.
"What we are doing is funding fewer organizations at deeper levels to allow them to prove themselves," Buik said. "And we hope some of our historical partners, who can continue to receive designated donations, will be able to make changes so we can work with them in the future."
United Way officials would not disclose which groups will be losing funding. But one of the new programs that will get money is Project GRAD in North Hollywood.
The program works with about 18,000 students in the northeast San Fernando Valley providing extensive tutoring, counseling and programs to both students and teachers.
"This is incredibly important for us," Executive Director Ford Roosevelt said of the United Way grant. "What it provides us is an opportunity to make sure we can continue operating."
Project GRAD runs within 13 schools, following kids from elementary school through high school and offering up to $6,000 in scholarships to students if they graduate and go on to college.
"This is a big step for the United Way," Roosevelt said. "Traditionally, they have never gotten involved in education programs."
Buik said the changes reflect United Way's emphasis on policy issues related to children, homelessness, poverty and education.
"We don't see these as conservative or liberal, but on issues that are very neutral," Buik said. "I think we are seen as a place where people can come together, but we also see this as a time to exert leadership positions."
Insurance for children
Buik said Among the issues the United Way is focusing on is health insurance for all children. Buik said the organization has backed measures calling for such a program and has been working with corporate executives to gain their support.
"What we have is access to the business community who are looking to us to tell them about some of the challenges we face," Buik said.
"We realized we needed to move into policy and advocacy. We can't social-service our way out of some of these problems. And they are the same problems across the nation.
"There is a homeless gap, a poverty gap, an education gap. The faces might be different in Atlanta ... (and) Los Angeles, but they are the same issues."
Buik said the changes also are designed to address a local image problem and lingering nationwide concerns after the agency came under fire more than a dozen years ago over its administrative costs.
"When I came here, I heard from a lot of organizations that they felt the United Way was a fortress, a closed society they could never be part of," Buik said.
"I think we need to constantly re-evaluate what we are doing to see if we are doing our job right."

Call of Duty: Black Ops
1 Recommendation
Ecofreak's recommendation
I walked into a Gamesotp about a month ago, and saw this video playing. I wanted the game before I even knew what it was. Knowing what it was made me want it even more. Thanks to e3, I got a chance to look at the new Call of Duty, more in detail, and I have to admit. I still want it. There is a little bit of a wait, but it's going to be worth it. As an elite group used by the CIA for covert missions, you have unparalleled access to classified information and the best weapons and equipment to carry out your missions. The graphics are real nice, and the gameplay is well.... I am just going to let you watch the video for yourself.

Thinking a union should re-do their contract to help mgmt be profitable is as silly as asking somebody to re-fi their house at a higher rate so the bank can be more profitable. "Hey, corporation....you entered into a legally binding contract. Now it sucks to be you....well tough $h!t." Companies will lay people off at the drop of a hat to save a penny on earnings the next qtr and think nothing of it. Then they want labor to "play nice" and help them out and think of the community. Bleep that.

Im selfish? Really??
So I was talking to one of my many crazy cousins. We were talking about splurging. I said once a year I splurge on myself. Something that I dont need but really want. Well apparently that is selfish. In her words "A mom should never spend money on herself outside of the necessities. You should spend that money on your child instead of being so selfish."
Umm, really? All year long my DD is spoiled. I cant let go once a friggin year?
Anyone else have crazy relatives who think along the same lines?
Quoting tharealty2:
thats silly. if you can, go head.
Yes. But you know what? They can suck eggs. There is nothing wrong with pampering yourself. Just because we are moms doesn't mean that we should back burnered and forgotten.

The Fisheye Lomography Camera Case2013-08-18 1 4 Share Tweet
Got my first Lomography case a while back and love it :)
I decided to by a Lomography case for my Fisheye lately, as I'm the kind of person who likes to chuck my camera in my backpack (its a miracle my camera has survived so long without a case). Lomography has a lovely choice of colours to chose from and I went with a vibrant orange, it's also available in lime punch and black.
The case is suitable for either a Fisheye One or Two, with a small pouch for the Fisheye No.2's viewfinder. It is made from a sturdy light weight vegetable-tanned leather with organic finish.
What's is great about this camera is it is obviously made for the Fisheye and works with the camera perfectly. It is very easy to remove the front of the case to give quick access to the camera. and is full off little details to let you know this is a Lomography case.
It also gives your camera a bit of a make over, with the attention grabbing case colour.
I really love this case and am hoping in the future their will be more Lomography cases released. Would especially love a case for my La Sardina Camera and Flash Grand Cru, as I'm always worring about damaging the cork.

Derry City unveil keep-ball plan to cause Sofia shock
Derry City manager Stephen Kenny feels Sunday night's draw with Cork City, was the perfect preparation for tomorrow evening's UEFA Europa League encounter with CSKA Sofia (KO 6pm)
The Dubliner felt even though his side failed to defeat Paul Doolin's men, their dominance in possession should help them in the Bulgarian capital.
"It's funny, but retaining the ball is a priority, particularly when playing away from home in Europe," he said.
"Against Cork we put together 10 to 15 passes, but when we got it wide and delivered a cross into the box, they had defenders back in numbers to clear the danger.
"Obviously in League of Ireland games it's important to get the ball forward faster, but in Europe, ball retention is a priority and I was happy with that aspect of our play against Cork.
"I think we'll have to mix it a bit in Sofia, even be a little direct on occasions, but we must keep possession the way we have been.
"It's going to be a step up for us and whilst the performances against Skonto Riga were very good, I think we are going to have to step it up again against CSKA."
Nevertheless he'll be looking for his team to score another crucial away goal, no matter what the temperature maybe in the Bulgarian capital.
"I think the heat will be a factor, but the fact we've scored goals away from home in Europe is also significant," said Kenny.
"We've scored in Sweden, Scotland and Latvia and we must try to keep doing that when such opportunities present themselves.
"We mustn't be fearful going their and we must go their and believe in ourselves.
"We have to make sure that we prepare well and stay in the tie for the second-leg coming to the Brandywell and I think there is a massive incentive for us."

Challenge: Toilet Leaks through bolts but only when flushed!
Absolutely frustrated here and I'm an engineer too. I replaced the guts of my toilet (second one) with standard Fluidm**ster replacement kit. And I can't get it to stop leaking but only when I flush the toilet. I've replaced the flange gasket several times. It does not leak between the bowl and the reservoir. It only leaks down the bolts that connect the reservoir to the bowl.
I don't get it. I used blue pellets to color the water. When I just took the reservoir off, the flange gasket was completely dry with no indications of not seating properly. I didn't think the rubber gaskets under the brass washer and wing nut was really there as a water sealing surface. Is the flange gasket the only water containing component other than what is inside the reservoir itself?
I have a two bolt configuration for the reservoir.
Thanks for any suggestions and I have rebuilt it several times with all new soft goods to no avail. I thought about a cracked reservoir but wouldn't that leak all the time? It doesn't.
Additional info
I wasn't that clear. When I fill the tank with water, no leaks. When I flush, it only leaks (drips) from the tank to bowl bolts.
Try putting some grease on the tank bolt washers.
Where is the first place that you see water after it is flushed?
Installed exactly as directed
I have built and rebuilt with new washers, flange gaskets, etc. Leak only comes from bolts/wingnut that holds tank to bowl. Drip rate is a drip a second. I have rubber washers against porcelan in tank and under bowl. Metal washers between wingnut and rubber washer.
If the flange gasket is installed correctly (flush with tank) and tank is centered over the bowl, how is water getting to the bolts. There should be no path. Also it doesn't leak when sitting there. Only when flushed.
The flushvalve in the center could have a crack in it, sounds unlikely but could be it, when I install new bolts I put them in this order.
Bolt > Rubber Washer > Through Tank > Rubber Washer > Metal Washer > Nut > Set Tank on Bowl > Metal Washer > Wing Nut.
With this order I know I will have a positive seal on both the inside and bottom of tank.
Never had a problem yet.
Ron (a pro, I'm not) always cringes at this, but it works everytime for me...smear a little clear silicone caulk on the dry washers.
Good luck!
Being an engineer I'm not just looking to fix it. I also want to know why! Anyways, I have a second Fluidmaster kit to fix the third toilet in the house. I'll try that one and see if any different. I've been trying to avoid the caulking and lube on rubber washer. It shouldn't be necessary and it wasn't there on the original.
Any opinions on one piece toilets other than they are expensive? I don't want to pay $300+ to fix a $20 problem.
Yes one piece toilet are expensive, before you buy one, try the way I install new tank to bowl kits in the order I do it, oh and while the tank is off, and you have the bolts installed, take tank outside and test it without it connected to the toilet. Also before you set it back on bowl, tighten up the that large nut on the bottom of the tank flush valve.
This is not condensation from the tank?
Have you replaced this kit twice for the same problem?
What was the initial problem?
Describe each step as how you removed the tank and guts.
Describe each step to re-installing the guts and tank.
Do you have a photo?
Definitely not condensation. I have replaced the kit in upstairs bathroom last year. This is the second toilet that I've worked on. I managed to get it right on the first one but have had no success.
Ron, I'll give it a try installing your way but just don't have much confidence. Your method assumes the leak is coming from the tank. I think it is coming from the connection between the tank and the bowl. You said to basically to seal the tank from both sides with rubber washers but there will be no seal on the bottom of the bowl. Maybe I should just add a rubber washer there also. Can't see how that would hurt.
And by the way guys, I really appreciate your help. Either you get paid for this or really just want us DIY'ers to succeed!
We want you to succeed
If you seal the tank my way, then no gasket is needed on the bowl, the only other place leak could be is from the flush valve seal or there is a hairline crack somewhere on the bowl.
See picture below,
Now see Below tank to bowl, if the toilet leaks only after you flush then it will be between the bowl and tank, the gasket as seen below, is it a thick foam or a thin one, you did install a new tank to bowl gasket right?
I was also thinking that there may be a hair line crack in the tank but it has been said that it "only" leaks when it is being flushed?:confused1:
See what happens if you remove the water line that goes into the overflow and just allow it to put water into the tank?:confused1:
Have you installed the rubber gasket between the tank and the bowl upside down?:confused1: (I am not sure how this would allow the water to get onto the tank bolts)
Is this a power assisted toilet?

3 Things I Should Have Packed for Bonnaroo
1. Less food I packed all kinds of cholestoral-building goodies (spinach tuna salad, macaroni salad, Cheetos, lots else) but I didn't eat a quarter of it. It won't be wasted (it's in the fridge now) but space in our trunk was.
2. Our canopy I don't know how, but we forgot to bring the canopy for the tent to the festival we've been planning since February. So we came up with a creative solution:
A tarp and three dollar-store sunblockers held together with bobby pins and duct tape protected us from crazy weather throughout the weekend.
3. Galoshes The rain on Thursday night created a very muddy environment. The sophisticated Bonnaroo vets I attended with had galoshes to protect themselves, keeping their feet free on the mud that pervaded the campgrounds.
2 Things I Did Right
1. Went with friends Friends expand the music you see (and the bands you discover) in Centeroo, and socializing enhances the scene back at your camp and helps you process the ten bands you saw in five hours at Centeroo.
2. Focused on seeing music Making myself leave my campsite, where there are friends and free beer and food and shade, at noon every day was difficult, but worthwhile and necessary to my enjoyment of the weekend. Even if you came for one specific band, see at least a few others and limit yourself to one break a day.

More Found Footage Headed Our Way With The New Alien Flick UNAWARE
Ok, this looks like the newest trend and everyone is cashing in on the found footage hype. The latest film is Unaware which plot tells us that on July 2010, a vacationing couple discovered something disturbing on a ranch in rural Texas. Armed with a home camcorder, they captured their experience on video. They are also going the route with Eventful just like Paranormal Activity and Hatchet II did. To me this sums it up, "What if Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch has a threesome with an alien, you'd get Unaware! Shaky camera syndrome!

About MeHey folks
Thanks for checking out my profile :) (you can follow me on The twitter machine @jade_armitage)
I joined MM to help me improve on my portfolio and meet and work with new and exciting people...Im afraid it was a case of friends seeing my pics from promo work in the past and saying "you should do modeling!!" Yup...that old chestnut. :)
I would by no means class myself as a professional, but I now have quite a bit of experience under my belt, and am learning and progressing as a model with every shoot that I undertake. (A lot of work you won't see in this port as I have not upgraded to premium account)
I consider any assignments except outright glamour work; I prefer the suggestion of sexuality rather then full on getting my kit off ;)
Personality wise I believe myself to be a bubbly, fun and easy going character with a great sense of humor. Away from modeling I an a singer as well as running princess parties for children , mostly playing Elsa from Frozen and am an avid ice hockey fan! Different huh! ;)
I am happy to travel but would ask for travel expenses to be covered if the distance isn't local to Basingstoke.
If you like my look and work so far and would like to work with me then feel free to drop me a message... I look forward to hearing from you :)
Best wishes

New Spinsheet! Clean Marinas Article Worth a Read
March 2, 2009
The March issue of Spinsheet Magazine, the best damn Chesapeake Bay focused sailing magazine, is on the docks and newsstands up and down the East Coast. This month features and article about clean marina's and what sailors can do to be a bit more green…er blue…um WHATEVER in the process of enjoying their recreation and passion.
Many thanks to my editor, Molly Winans, for not editing out most of the drivel that I wrote. I can get onto quite a soapbox when I talk about these things – especially because I believe that it is really the responsibility of all of us to make small efforts to improve the quality of the environments that we sail in. In encourage you to go to the local marina, West Marine, or newsstand and get a copy – but if you just can't wait you can download a PDF version of my article here:

PLANTATION KEY -- Lisa Taylor, an assistant principal at Coral Shores High School for the past three years, will take over the top job at Plantation Key School next month.
"She knows the communities serviced by Plantation Key School and I believe she will be successful in communicating with students, parents and the community at large," Monroe County School District Mark Porter said of his selection.
He selected Taylor from among 18 applicants for the position, which became vacant in June with the retirement of seven-year PKS principal Vanessa Strickland. Porter made the announcement on July 16.
Taylor was on vacation last week and repeated efforts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful. In a prepared statement, released by the school district, she called her promotion to PKS principal "an honor."
"We will create an innovative learning environment through collaboration and focused purpose and celebrate our success," she said.
Taylor taught third grade at Key Largo School from 1993 until 2008. She then spent two years as a KLS fifth grade teacher before making the shift into administration at Coral Shores in 2010.
A resident of Plantation Key, Taylor holds master's degrees in reading instruction and educational leadership.
Porter said Taylor's training as a reading teacher is one of the main reasons he selected her.
"Teaching reading is a very specific kind of skill," he said. "She has expertise in that area that we think will be very valuable in a K-8 environment."
He added he is impressed with the leadership skills Taylor displayed as an assistant principal and he values her many years of experience teaching in the Keys.
Porter chose Taylor over two other finalists, Scott Flowers, an education consultant and former principal from South Carolina, and longtime PKS teacher Kristy Bedell, who is also a former PKS assistant principal.

I attended McAfee's analyst day at its FOCUS 09 Security Conference last week in Las Vegas. It was interesting to see former army general and Secretary of State General, Colin Powell, addressing an information security audience. He attended the same university as I did — City College of New York — so I especially enjoyed cheering on a fellow alum. His speech was very relevant to the security arena, as he discussed the danger of vulnerabilities within any information system and the critical need to safeguard against them. Of course, it fit very well with McAfee's story, as McAfee CEO, Dave DeWalt did a good job continuing the military theme. However, I still left with feeling of wanting more — perhaps expecting McAfee leaders to say something more concrete about what it all means for them. Do they want to help with cybercrime, cybersecurity, and critical information protection? Will they be working more closely with government in information security initiatives?
(On a positive note, Colin Powell became an unexpected customer reference, as he mentioned recently licensing McAfee antivirus for his personal laptop.)
Along with many executive briefings I had with product managers and marketing folks, there were several highlights for me:
Posted by Robert Whiteley III on October 8, 2009
That was honestly a question at our recent Security Forum. During every keynote, we collect questions for the audience and one of the attendees took the time to write down: "Can you please have someone from the hotel staff come and inform us of the evacuation plan. Specifically, where are all the emergency exits?"
I love putting on these events. I mean, seriously, only at a security and risk management conference do you get people worried about emergency evacuation plans.
But it did get me thinking and I asked myself: What are the best and worst audience questions from the forum? The event was based on the three shifts we see reshaping the security and risk management landscape in 2010. So I culled through the 78 unanswered question cards we rounded up from our eight keynotes. Here's a quick breakdown of what was on our security execs minds:
App security: 2 Data security: 3 General information risk: 3 Social media security: 4 General threats and exploits: 6 Security talent and staffing: 7 Outsourcing: 9 Cloud computing: 14 BYOPC: 30

D-2 Mouse In A Mirror This guy was a little trickier than I thought it would be! But a fun, little block.
Gus, thanks for your thoughtful comments regarding quilting DJ. I'm kind of leaning towards it deserves to be hand quilted. On the other hand, I don't want it to be an unfinished project for years to come. I recently had an applique quilt machine quilted by a long-armer and it is absolutely beautiful!! She did an amazing job. I have a Tennessee Waltz top that I'm going to hand quilt with silk batting and am anxious to see how it looks. Maybe that will be an option for DJ. Silk batting is so much easier on my hands and at the rate I go, I don't have to buy batting that often (important, since silk batt is so expensive.);)

Ever since handsome cop Carlos Ramirez took a bullet for Sylvia after an investigative report went south, she's been fighting their intensifying attraction. Sure, he's gorgeous and great in bed -- "and" nearly died for her -- but Sylvia has sworn never to let a man be in a position to break her heart the way her father did by abandoning her and her mother. Besides, who has time for the whole relationship dance? Sylvia's got a reputation to maintain as Miami's hottest new journalist. But when her latest assignment threatens to smear Adriana's boyfriend, Riley, and too-good-to-be-true Carlos, "and" her mother is hell-bent on reuniting with her father, Sylvia finds that life and love and family aren't things you can control!

Why all the hate?
I looked through all the past threads to make sure nobody asked this, and didn't see any. It is something I have always wondered about, no matter what internet forum I have ever been on.
What's with all the hate people have for Nickleback? Now, I am not a big fan, I don't have any of their cd's, but I do have a few songs on my ipod and I don't think they all sound bad. Can anyone tell me why so many people just outright hate them? I really don't get it. I will also go on record as saying their song "Burn It to the Ground" made the best Raw theme song. There, I said it. Feel free to disagree, but at least give me something better than "they suck".
Re: Why all the hate?
People have different opinions,There's your answer.
Re: Why all the hate?
Re: Why all the hate?
you didnt find any past threads
did you search?
Re: Why all the hate?
Didn't feel like going through every single post of every other thread just in case.
I may not have much of a life, but is something, and its mine. Whatever it may amount to...
Re: Why all the hate?
they suck
Re: Why all the hate?
It's just something that became cool to say. Like the Kofi Kingston hate on this forum. Some probably really hate them, others just say it to be cool. Plus they're Canadian, which just makes it easier to make fun of them here in America.
Re: Why all the hate?
Probably because of How You Remind Me, which started off bad, and got progressively worse the more you heard it, which was about 12 times a day here.
They may have good songs (I distinctly remember hearing a good one before that single blew up, forgot the name years ago though). However, if one that isn't great is the one that gets huge airplay, and they don't follow it up with anything interesting, they'll get hate.
The singer seems like a tool, too.
EDIT - originally mentioned that singer claimed to invent grunge as a child - think that was actually the Puddle Of Mudd guy. another terrible band
Re: Why all the hate?
Re: Why all the hate?
They are just a generic band, nothing truly special about them but at the same time they are massive.
They are far from the worst band ever though

New penalty trial for El Paso man on death row since 1986
HOUSTON - An El Paso man convicted and sent to death row for the slayings of two women almost 30 years ago has won a new punishment trial.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday agreed with a trial judge's findings that Angel Galvan Rivera had poor legal help at his 1986 trial in El Paso.
Rivera's appeals lawyers argued his trial attorneys didn't properly investigate Rivera's background or present evidence that could have convinced jurors to decide on a sentence other than death.
The former cook was convicted of murdering 88-year-old Jewel Haygood and sentenced to death in 1986.
He was also a suspect but never tried in the deaths of 62-year-old Iona Dikes and 82-year-old Julia Fleenor, who were found strangled at their El Paso home in October 1984. The house had been set on fire. Evidence also showed they both had been raped.
Haygood lived just blocks away from the two women. All three were killed in a similar fashion. He was sentenced to death in 1986.
Rivera also is serving 20 years in prison on a separate aggravated rape case.
There are nine people from El Paso County that are currently on death row in Texas.

Members of the cast and crew of CBBC's Horrible Histories have revealed information regarding the next series of the hit show and plans for a film.
Present doing the Masterclass session at the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival yesterday were producer Caroline Norris, actor Simon Farnaby, actress Martha Howe-Douglas and historical consultant Greg Jenner. Hosting the panel was self-confessed uber-fan and comedian, Al Murray.
The Pub Landlord was keen to know if BBC compliance was ever an issue for the award-winning series, to which Norris replied, "We had an argument about Cleopatra's suicide. They said 'You can't show suicide,' and I said, 'Well, I can't change history, that's what happened.'"
Moving onto the future, the team teased what's coming up in the next batch of 13 episodes, currently in the process of being written and researched. In Series 5 we can expect to see: the writer of the fables, Aesop ("thrown off a cliff for arguing with people"), Charles Dickens, Augustus, more Churchill and "Lord Byron in a sort of Twilight spoof".
On the song front, inspiration continues to come with the promise of Joan of Arc as Jessie J ("because of the fringe"), a Rosa Parks "Motown" song and Norris' revelation of "We're doing a Smiths song. Charles Dickens as Morrissey."
CultBox asked the panel about the possibility of a big screen version of Horrible Histories, to which producer Caroline Norris stated positively: "We are trying to make one, yes. It's currently in negotiation, we're trying to sort out the rights which are quite complicated. There's a lot of conversations to be had. The ambition is certainly there to try and make a film. So hopefully, hopefully, hopefully."
Series 5 is due to air on CBBC in 2013.

Are you looking forward to Series 5? Let us know below…

|25 Songs
Album Review
Despite the generous number of tracks on this album and its companion, Jones Laughing Record — 25 songs per CD — there is much duplication of what is already widely available (Rhino and RCA both have fine collections out). Avid seems to have deliberately mixed obscure titles with well-known ones, but they have either ignored or did not know about the existence of other compilations. Consequently, there aren't many rarities here. "MacNamara's Band," "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and "Mother Goose Medley" — none of which are as lame as the titles would indicate — make their CD debut with this disc...The transfers vary in sound quality... ~ Jordan R.

Lucky in Lenormand
This post was written by Barbara Moore
on August 20, 2014 | Comments (0)
Rana George's The Essential Lenormand is quickly gaining a reputation for being a very approachable guide to this fascinating system. Her decades of experience and vivacious personality make the book a delight to read. She makes learning easy. One of the challenges of Lenormand is that the cards don't simply have a set meaning. The cards' meanings are very dependent on surrounding cards and their position within the Grand Tableau.
The complexity of the relational dependence of card meanings can make a teaching challenge. Rana overcomes this by introducing concepts in layers. Take, for example, her introduction to the Clover:
"A green four-leaf clover is usually depicted on this card; sometimes the clover flower is shown with it. Clover symbolizes luck, chance, blessings, and good fortune.
The Clover is a positive card, bringing happiness, good fortune, and success. It adds a positive vibe to any reading and diminishes the negativity of negative cards, especially when it lands on the right side of the negative card or at the end of the line reading. The Clover cards brings inspiration and hope.
When this card appears, it forecasts happy tidings to the reading, as long as these cards not to the right of it: Clouds, Snake, Coffin, and sometimes Scythe and Mice. In the case that the Clover card is followed by negative cards, it announces the return of deception or previous negative predicaments. On the other hand, getting the Clover card after a series of negative cards predicts the end of sorrow or that the trouble will be short-lived. It speaks to the positive turning of the wheel and the return of luck. The Clover is the reward card, the great find or the bargain card. The Clover urges the querent to take a leap of faith."
She starts with the "basic" meaning, then explains how its position affects the meaning, and finally gives some examples of how it interacts with other cards. She gives enough information, in the introduction of each card (which is followed by more in-depth explorations) to convey the concepts so that we, the readers, can easily extrapolate further as needed, but not so much as to overwhelm. She teaches reading techniques rather than memorization.

As Ohio and other states consider signing a landmark settlement with the tobacco industry that is hoped to curb tobacco use among the nation's youth, high school seniors in the Dayton area report that cigarettes are the drug they use most often on a daily basis.
Nearly one-fourth (23.3%) of Dayton-area 12th-graders smoke cigarettes on a daily basis, according to the latest Dayton Area Drug Survey (DADS); 14.7% smoke half a pack or more per day. More than two-thirds (67.8%) smoked cigarettes at least once in their lives. Among those who smoke, 22% reported that they tried to stop but couldn't. "Clearly, the next generation of 'replacement' smokers are out there. Anti-tobacco efforts aimed at youth will have to get a lot better to make a significant dent in these numbers," says Russel Falck, assistant professor of community health at Wright State University School of Medicine, who designed the local survey.
DADS is a collaborative effort of the Substance Abuse Intervention Programs (SAIP) at Wright State University School of Medicine, United Health Services (UHS) and Dayton-area school districts. Data processing was provided by Wright State's Statistical Consulting Center. DADS is supported, in part, by the Theda Clark Smith Family Foundation, Inc. DADS began as an annual survey in 1990 and has been conducted biennially since 1994.
Researchers surveyed 1,933 students who were seniors in February 1998 at 12 high schools in Montgomery and Greene counties. In addition, 2834 ninth graders and 2081 seventh graders participated in the project. The students responded anonymously to a 81-item, self-report questionnaire.
According to Falck, the 1998 survey found that lifetime use of drugs such as alcohol, tobacco and marijuana increased while daily use remained the same or declined slightly. For example, 84.1% of 1998 seniors reported using alcohol at least once in their lives (lifetime use), compared to 81.8% in 1996. In 1998, 28.7% reported having five or more drinks at least once in the two weeks prior to the survey, compared to 32.9% in 1996.
Other results of the 1998 DADS include:
For the first time since the survey has been conducted, more than half (51.4%) of 12th graders reported using marijuana at least once in their lives.
19.7% of 12th graders reported lifetime use of hallucinogens such as LSD.
9.5% reported using cocaine, and 5.5% reported using crack-cocaine, at least once in their lives.
One bright spot in the 1998 survey results, according to Falck, is a general decline in the number of 7th graders who reported using alcohol, tobacco and marijuana at least once in their lives. "This years' DADS data present a very mixed picture of what is happening in this community with youthful drug use. Although some progress has been made, the high levels of use reported once again point out the necessity of coming together as a community to formulate practical strategies to address the problem," says Harvey Siegal, Ph.D., SAIP director at Wright State. 'The data show that the overwhelming majority (98%) of young people who use alcohol or other drugs do so in someone's home, almost always (93% of the time) on weekends. These data provide a clear message for parents who want to reduce the chances of their children's involvement with alcohol and other drugs: know where your children are and who they are with," says John North, UHS executive director.

As I See It: Worth versus need
When I was leaving the military and beginning my job search, I had to make some adjustments. One that caused me much angst was discussing my salary expectations during an interview or negotiating one after a job offer.
The military was easy; the pay and benefits were set by rank and specialty. In the civilian world, you have to negotiate your compensation with the company. Once you did that, you were expected to provide a level of performance that justified your salary.
If you didn't demonstrate an acceptable level of worth to the company, the result was usually termination. At least I had the skills to compete for a job where I could negotiate my pay.
I've been watching the growing drumbeat for raising the federal minimum wage accompanied by some similar efforts in individual states, including Minnesota. Activists have suggested that we ask store owners how much they pay their lowest paid worker and if it's less than the current accepted target of $15 an hour, we should shop elsewhere.
Last Sunday morning, a TV program profiled a single mother in New York City who was having a great deal of difficulty supporting herself and her two children. Even though she had a full-time job, she wasn't making enough money to make ends meet. The implied solution? Just raise her pay significantly.
This is the solution a lot of people are advocating without any thought to the overall impact on the economy as a whole or of the value a person provides through his or her labor.
I realize on the surface that might seem rather cold-hearted. But if we started to pay everyone based on a perceived or actual need — or, even worse, on the government's definition of their need — we would be in really deep trouble.
How have people come to the assumption that if you are working whatever hours might be defined as "full time" you should be receiving what some are calling a "living wage" and other benefits?
Due to many factors, including illegal immigration, the deterioration of the family as a formative and nurturing unit, a welfare system that is rife with fraud and perpetuates the problems it is supposed to solve, and the deteriorating public education system that seems to indoctrinate instead of educate, we have many more people with minimal qualifications in the modern job market. These people are competing with the teenage population that normally filled the jobs requiring minimal skills and that offered minimal pay.
If you don't have the skills to be a typist, receptionist, machinist, sales person, mechanic, electrician, carpenter, delivery driver, plumber, heating and air conditioning repairman, or whatever, you will be relegated to cleaning offices, the restaurant and fast food industry, or many other low-paying jobs.
You will struggle to make enough money to live at a subsistence level, especially if you have a family, and you may be dependent on assistance for the long term.
I know it is inevitable the minimum wage will be raised soon (right before the election next year is my prediction), but if it is raised too high as some advocate and/or too fast, it will have a decidedly negative impact on an already struggling jobs situation.
The consumers — the ones with disposable discretionary income — are usually the ones who drive the economy. They are assisted by the people with multiple credit cards and not too much common sense who buy regardless of their financial health, paralleling our federal government that borrows more than a third of what it spends and prints more money under the euphemism of "quantitative easing."
If these folks reduce their spending based on rising costs of goods and services, things might stagnate even further. And the poor might find themselves paying most of their additional money on higher costs of basic goods.
Someday, in spite of all the Federal Reserve has done to keep inflation in check, it will return, and I don't think it will be in the 1 or 2 percent range when it happens.
The government that is allowed to continually set and enforce a minimum wage, regardless of the value of the labor, will eventually get around to setting and enforcing a maximum wage with the same level of disregard — except where the politicians, actors, athletes, unions and union heads, and some other favored corporations and interest groups are concerned.
The government will find a way to abscond with the surplus in the form of taxes, fees or through other methods and "share" it with those who continue to vote for them. They already do some of this now, but the level and degree will keep increasing.
Something you work hard to get usually has real meaning and value to you. That which you receive for nothing is often valueless.
The ultimate solution is to help all our citizens increase their knowledge and skills so they can compete for and work at the jobs that pay a "living wage."
Is that too hard or just another politically inconvenient truth?
Well, that's the way I see it.

Seeking Community
I do not mean to step over the line, get close to the edge or be thought of as meaningless because you may or may not disagree about double negatives. I would hope the politically correct halitosis and maybe the Hurdy Gurdy man to fill in the coda.
This is a Writing site; a Creative writing site, so most members are writers and everyone knows a writer often lacks common situational sense. There are rhetorical descriptions I'll barely mention, but the writer spends a great deal of time doing activities few realize.
It was once suggested by a pagan, heathen or Christian that personal altar of faith seldom relinquishes time beyond basic needs, family, research the writing itch and sleep. There isn't much time to read and why would we writers here disagree with this premise.
For a more communal focus, I believe we need to start thinking about 'How can we reach an audience and also, how can we be an artistic community in how we support each other. If you do not believe each person important, then how will you believe in yourself?
I've a few suggestions. The first is that I've been a member of several social media and as an old fart I know the most important factor is interaction and conveying a welcome openness in a comment short or longer. Creative writers respect other creative writer commented words. A sign of respect giving a dream belief.
One way to show unwritten professional writer respect is to give the best of your writing in a page or less; or a taste of your excerpts. People will have time to read you and others who do the same will begin the positive in learning from exposure to a page or less of various writing styles.
Do you want success or ego? Fame is never defined alone. Fame seldom ascends the pinnacle, so if not don't be alarmed. Where importance lies is in the gentle arms of community, but when one applies, remember we are all equals until and that is why.
Please comment to as many writers as you can and writers, please realize these writer readers want more or less a summary, so they can think you good or and change the subject. The writer and reader needs patience and reciprocity. May we think how others may feel before our words impede acceptance.
Caught you off guard, eh? I seek a mate of those wanting and yearning for a community of like minded artists. The blending of possible to a welcome opinion shared within the growth of self and else for all is our welcoming. Let us accept, care and do all we can to build a community.

Michigan Coach Tommy Amaker
Opening statement .... "It was a great win for our program given the circumstances that we've found ourselves in the last couple of weeks. I'm very proud of our team and I thought we battled every step of the way. We had an lead early and we surrendered that. They came back right at the end of the first half and we were really deflated at halftime. We talked about it being 0-0 with 20 minutes to go at that point. We're very proud of our guys digging down after being down double digits in the second half. I can't say enough about Daniel Horton, I thought his toughness and his will were unbelievable for us this afternoon."
On Michigan's guards holding Chris Thomas and Chris Quinn to just points ... "I'm sure if you talked to Coach Brey in their locker room and told him that his two guards would shoot that poorly and they would still have a chance to win the game, he would probably feel pretty good about it. Our guards did a tremendous job of limiting them to the looks that they had. They didn't get good looks, it wasn't like they just missed shots. I thought we did a nice job of defending them well when they didn't good looks. They're good at shot-faking and getting to the line, but we didn't bail them out on some bad shots."
On Daniel Horton coming on strong after a tough first half ... "It's unheard of, especially in a crucial game for both teams. We've seen him do this before in the past, he has a way of making big plays and he has a way of putting people on his back and carrying them with his will. I'm not surprised, I'm obviously very happy and pleased that we're on the winning side right now, but I'm not surprised because we've seen him do it before."
On Graham Brown diving for a loose ball late in the game ... "That's what Graham does, he makes big-time hustle plays and savvy plays. He's gives us that energy and blue-collar attitude that we have with out program. He leads the charge in the category.
On Chris Hunter's defensive performance against Torin Francis in the second half ... "I think with Chris' length, that gives us an added advantage. He's very long for a post player and he makes it difficult for guys to get shots over him. The only deficiency we have in the regard is that we can't let him get too deep in that post position. Chris was able to force him out and that was very helpful."
Junior Daniel Horton
On breaking a three-game losing streak with a big victory ... "It was a big win for this team, especially after coming off three tough losses. We still didn't play the way we wanted to play, but I think our defense was the difference in this game."
On limiting Chris Thomas to just two points ... "Dion did a great job on him. Our job coming into this game first and foremost was to get in Chris Thomas and Chris Quinn's face and make them take tough shots or not let them take shots period. We did that today."
On his great play late in the game ... "Since I've been here, I've tried to do whatever it takes to win. I got a couple great looks and some good screens and I was more aggressive than I've been lately. It really paid off. This all wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for out defense today."
Freshman Ron Coleman
On having his best game against a nationally ranked team ... "I just came out with the mindset to take open shots and let the game come to me. I didn't rush it and I took my time and played defense. I think we all did that today."
On the Crisler Arena crowd ... "They gave us a lot of energy. Whether we scored a bucket or drew a charge on defense, they were loud out there today. We like when that happens because it makes us play harder."
Sophomore John Andrews
On his first career start at Crisler Arena ... "It was a great, I had a lot of fun out there. The crowd gave us a lot of energy. There were actually some of the Maize Rage waiting outside the arena when we first arrived. It was nice to see some friendly faces."
On his two baskets during a 9-0 run in the first half ... "On that offensive rebound, I was just trying to crash the boards and finish. That's what I'm trying to do, just give give us a lift, more so on the defensive end and just play my role."
On how it feels to make contributions this season ... "It feels good. Playing basketball is what I love to do and it feels great to be out there, especially with these guys. They're great teammates and everyone plays their role and we have fun together out there."
Notre Dame Coach Mike Brey
Opening statement ... "I think we learned a lot about our team. It is disappointing because you have a chance to win the game and I though we could have handled the last two minutes a little better. We could have gotten out of here with a win. They are a very good basketball team and they play with a lot of emotion at home. It's the fourth game of the season and I thought we pulled a lot away from it. We learned a lot about our team on the road today."
On the game ... "I thought as bad as we were for the first 16 minutes, we really closed fast and did a heck of a job to tie, because we were ugly. Then we were in a nice rhythm and used our momentum to make some big plays and bug defensive stops. But just the offensive execution at the end of the game hurts a little bit."
Notre Dame Senior Chris Thomas
On Michigan's defense ... "They have big guys. I thought I got to the rack a lot of times and drew contact, but you are not really going to get that call on the road. They have long guys. They were in the passing lanes and forcing the play 25 feet from the basket. They had hands up on all my shots. They just didn't fall."
On the end of the game ... "It was a tough atmosphere, but I thought we did the necessary things to win the game. I was proud of our guys. I could have brought the ball out when Colin got the rebound to burn some more time off. We can't give up the three-point play at the end of the game. We've got to have a hard foul, we've got to protect the ball."
Notre Dame Junior Chris Quinn
On losing the game in the final minutes ... "We weren't as aggressive on the defensive end as we had been. We allowed them to get some good looks. They are a good team and they were able to get right back into the game. It is very frustrating with the guys we have and the experience we have. We were up 10 with 10 minutes to go and that is exactly where we want to be. I think we didn't make the plays down the stretch."
