"America's first African American president who grew up in several parts of the world should be able to produce a foreign policy much closer to his heart and beliefs without having to worry about another election."But before we get too much into that, first he has some fibs to tell about his fellow Palestinians:
"On the Palestinian side, the newly reelected U.S. president can count on a Palestinian leader who, similarly, is not shackled by the need to run for office again. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is determined not to run for office again, which leaves him free to say his mind...."He got one thing right: Abbas isn't "shackled," but that's because he doesn't run for office. He simply seizes power where he can and loses power where he can't, just like Hamas. Abbas' term ran out in 2009, and ever since then he has been rapidly losing the support of his people. Remember how the Palestine Papers nearly had him lynched in the streets? But okay, Mr. Kuttab, tell us exactly what Abbas has been saying.
"...as he did last week when he said on Israel TV's second channel what most Palestinians think. Abbas declared that Palestine is the territories occupied in 1967 and that most Palestinians (including himself) do not insist on returning to live in their homes in Israel."First of all, notice the wording here. If "Palestine" is the territories occupied in 1967, then the Palestinians have no homes in Israel to return to! But let's not nitpick because he remains in the wrong: Most Palestinians continue to endorse Arafat's "phased plan." Two states now, one state later. And every poll ever indicates that they have no intention of compromising on the fictional "right of return." So what is happening here? Is Abbas lying, or is Kuttab not telling us the whole story?
As you are probably not surprised to hear, Kuttab is not telling us the whole story. The New York Times explained what happened after Abbas' fateful interview:
"The remark set off angry protests across the Gaza Strip, in which demonstrators set Mr. Abbas's picture aflame. Palestinian rivals and commentators denounced him as a traitor, or worse....Ismail Haniya, called Mr. Abbas's remarks "extremely dangerous," and hundreds of Hamas's supporters took to the streets in Gaza on Saturday evening, carrying banners reading "Abbas does not represent me," and "Pioneer of concessions, it's time to quit." Some burned posters showing Mr. Abbas with Israel's current and former prime ministers. In Jordan, the Islamic Action Front, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, called Mr. Abbas's statements "grave and unprecedented." From London, Abdel Bari Atwan, the editor of Al Quds Al Arabi, wrote a column under the headline "Please Do Not Speak on Our Behalf."Way to go! So how did Abbas react to this?
"President Abbas himself beat a hasty retreat. In an interview with an Arabic newspaper published Sunday, he said he was talking only of his personal aspirations, not about giving up anyone's rights, and called the refugees "a sacred matter" that could be resolved only as part of a larger agreement through negotiations."Great. So as usual, a Palestinian leader say something moderate in English, and his entire society turns against him for it, so he backs off. The Huffington Post only covers the statements themselves and not the fallout. How extremely typical. Let's get back to Kuttab:
"Even the head of the Islamic movement Hamas is not planning to run for reelection as the head of the political bureau. Khaled Mishaal, who left Syria and has publicly supported popular rather than military struggle as the way to liberate Palestine, also supports the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders."So a guy you claim is moderate is not running for relection, and you say that's a good thing? Okay, it's not like anyone believes Mishaal is moderate anyway. And notice his source for the "borders" thing: Richard freaking Silverstein.
Anyway, most of the article is your usual hope for peace that manages even to be free of the usual policy of blaming Israel. I guess whitewashing the Palestinians was the most misleading he could be in one day. However there is one last issue he would like to talk about:
"For Jerusalem, also, there are many solutions suggested that can be focused on. The Clinton parameters called for Palestinian neighbourhoods as part of the Palestinian state and Jewish-populated areas that could be part of the state of Israel."Yes, and we all know how the Palestinians reacted to the Clinton parameters didn't we? And what about that unshackled and moderate guy Mahmoud Abbas? What does he say about Jerusalem?
"I renew my commitment to continuing the road he [Arafat] began and for which he made a lot of sacrifices, until the Palestinian flag flies from the walls, minarets and churches of Jerusalem." (2005)And?
"We have frankly said, and always will say: If there is an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, we won't agree to the presence of one Israeli in it." (25 December 2010)Yeah, that's a real voice of peace there. No that I think Israel ever willingly give up any part of Jerusalem either, of course. But Israel isn't the one "suffering" under "the occupation" are they?

Raggedy Ann and Andy writer Max Wilk dead at 90
Author, playwright and screenwriter Max Wilk, co-writer of the screenplay for the 1977 Fox-distributed animated feature film Raggedy Ann And Andy, died Saturday at his Saugatuck Shores home in Westport, Connecticut. He was 90.
During several years living in London in the 1960s, he became involved with the Beatles' Yellow Submarine project and was commissioned to write the novelization of the film.
Wilk was a long time dramaturg for the National Playwrights Conference. His work with the National Playwrights Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center spanned nearly three decades.
While at the O'Neill, Wilk helped both emerging and established playwrights refine their plays, working with some of modern theater's top luminaries, including Pulitzer Prize winners August Wilson and John Patrick Shanley, Lee Blessing, OyamO, James Yoshimura, Jeffrey Hatcher, Wendy McLeod, Doug Wright, Willy Holtzman, Judy GeBauer, Charles Shulman, Sam Hunter, Ursula Rani Sarma and Lucy Caldwell.

Nada Surf - I Like What You Say
'I Like What You Say' does pick up well from where 'The Weight Is A Gift' left off: it is unashamedly radio-friendly but wholly sincere.Read more on Nada Surf Listen to Nada Surf on Spotify
2005's 'The Weight Is A Gift' album finally high water-marked an artistically gratifying album for Nada Surf, and by all reports their latest album 'Lucky' follows suit. Taken from this album, 'I Like What You Say' does pick up well from where 'The Weight Is A Gift' left off: it is unashamedly radio-friendly but wholly sincere.
Matthew Caws' first lines could be Jeff Tweedy's: "emergency above/put on your hard hats and invisible gloves". The Tweedyish vulnerability and visual imagery is reserved only for the verses, the Shania Twain-esque chorus comparatively sweet: "I only wanna make you happy". The bedwetter's bridge, "they say I have to have somebody" (which is wet in sentiment, even if this song is about rehab not heartbreak) is the third and final lyrical perspective.
Caws' shifting use of 'You/I/They' is cleverly catchy and holds the different parts together well, but negates the emotional impact of each. The verses' spell of sober reflection, for example, is broken by the joyful chorus which doesn't work well within a consistently earnest subtext. The sound is very angsty 'Death Cab For Cutie', as you might expect from Blonde Redhead producer and sometime Death Cab mixer John Goodmanson: crisp and airy with swooning harmonies. The 'Baby' choruses could do with more pick-up perhaps by varying the drum pattern, but nitpicking aside, 'I Like What You Say' remains a fairly average single.

Warning: Our national sovereignty and our freedom are in grave danger.
Stealthily advancing, the globalists and socialists at the United Nations, and in the United States itself, are trying to dilute our national sovereignty, undermine our democratic values, and mandate massive transfers of our wealth and technology to third world countries. They want to create a "global governance" where binding and critical decisions are made by the UN and international commissions, instead of by our elected officials.
They want to make us citizens of the world, and it means the end of annoying democratic institutions. Economic prosperity will be punished. All countries will be equal, rich and poor, large and tiny, free and enslaved. The Lilliputians will rule the giants.
The globalists dismiss democracy as obsolete and surrender us to rule by civil service experts: bureaucrats who are elected by nobody and accountable to no one. They want Congress to ratify a series of treaties and global initiatives that will give them control of the Internet, the seas, our carbon emission policies, our welfare system, and even outer space. They will hobble our ability to go to war and send our wealth to third world dictatorships.
They'll attack anyone who tries to stop them.
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in May 2012, Hillary Clinton mocked those fighting for American sovereignty as "the black helicopter crowd," belittling those who value freedom and US sovereignty. Ironically, Clinton's sarcastic putdown comes strikingly close to the truth.
They call it "global governance." We call it the end of freedom. The homogenization of America. The day when the virtual black helicopters land.
So, watch out, the black helicopters are metaphorically on the way.

"Exactly as pictured. Easy to personalize. It is LARGE! We didn't look at the size and were surprised by how big it is, but that's ok. It's beautiful!"
"This was my first order through this company and I was VERY impressed! I ordered the card with the blue flowers and used different fonts. This card looks exactly like the picture, and the paper is of high quality. My shipment even came a few days early! I was so impressed I reordered. I would highly recommend this product."
"With last minute changes for my son's graduation reception, we rushed to configure an invitation. These were goof-proof even for a rookie and already there have been tons of compliments on their appearance. They are great framework for showing off the grads personality through multiple pictures. Tiny Prints is the new secret weapon for Senior parents!"
"We put a sports action shot on the top and his senior pic on the bottom. We chose the glossy finish. It was not too shiny but more attractive in my opinion than the matte ones we have received. It looked very "put together" and classy but not too stuffy! It reflected my son's and our families personality perfectly. Service was spectacular and the whole process was simple to follow and user friendly!! Will always order here in the future."
"I requested a color change on my son's high school graduation invitation. When I could not be reached to verify the shade of orange I was interested in, the customer care sales person left me a message she would look at the website for the high school identified on the graduation invitation and match to that shade of orange. And she did a wonderful job - thank you for taking the extra effort - great customer service. And as always, great quality of card weight, color and print!!!!!"

Mobile devices outnumber desktop and laptop computers three to one worldwide, yet little information is available for designing and developing mobile applications. Mobile Design and Development fills that void with practical guidelines, standards, techniques, and best practices for building mobile products from start to finish. With this book, you'll learn basic design and development principles for all mobile devices and platforms. You'll also explore the more advanced capabilities of the mobile web, including markup, advanced styling techniques, and mobile Ajax.
If you're a web designer, web developer, information architect, product manager, usability professional, content publisher, or an entrepreneur new to the mobile web, Mobile Design and Development provides you with the knowledge you need to work with this rapidly developing technology. Mobile Design and Development will help you:
Brian Fling owns and runs mobiledesign.org, the largest mobile design and development discussion list on the web. He's been in both the web and mobile industries for close to a decade as an entrepreneur, consultant and employee. Brian has helped big brands navigate the mobile space and he's worked with a lot of well funded mobile companies that have failed miserably. Over the years he's learned that his insight into mobile is quite unique, avoiding hype describing tried and true principles and techniques to building cost effective mobile experiences. Brian wrote the dotMobi Mobile Web Developers Guide, the first complete guide to mobile authoring. It was a free guide and while he doesn't have exact numbers, dotMobi informed him it was downloaded "over 15,000 times in the first few weeks." Brian's intentions in the mobile space is to advocate and build awareness, not to make money. He believes that the mobile web is primed to change everything we think we know about how people search and gather information. His goal is to foster invention and innovation of the next generation of websites in a medium that is device and context aware.

The animal on the cover of Mobile Design and Development is a twelve-wired bird of paradise (Seleucidis melanoleucus). It is found largely throughout New Guinea and the adjacent Salawati Island in Indonesia. The bird's name comes from the 12 thread-like strands that extend from the back of its plumage and bend to cover its behind. The male is black with a yellow belly and yellow feathers along its flanks. The female looks quite different from the male, with its brown plumage on its backside and its black belly. Vegetables, fruit, and anthropods, such as insects, arachnids, and crustaceans, comprise its diet

Out of date, opinions, inconsistencies
By Educator
from Denver, CO
About Me Developer, Educator
Comments about oreilly Mobile Design and Development:
I use this product to teach a survey class on application programming. I thought it would be really great because it is an O'Reilly book and it may have been when it came out but I was disappointed. I like it because it covers what it says but it is so old, 2009, it needs to be updated.Even though it is needs to be updated I was taken aback by the writing of so much opinion in a technical book. Beginner students want facts, they don't care that you don't want to work with graphical designers because of one bad experience.The book doesn't site some of it's sources either like on page 15. I'm trying to teach them to use authoritative sources and it would be nice if the book could set a good example.The inconsistencies make me wonder how good an editing job was done. There are numerous inconsistencies and it confuses the students. The latest one I found is saying SMS length is 140 character when it is 140 octets on page 6 and on page 70-71 it states 160 characters. It doesn't mention the 7 bit character set.If you update this book please do a better job of editing and use opinions judiciously.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good Overview of Mobile Development
By Michael
from Olathe, KS
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Maker
"Mobile Design and Development" describes the state of mobile software development today. The author discusses a wide range of topics in great detail and gives a lot of good information and statistics about the current marketplace. The book discusses the pros and cons of different mobile app design structures in great detail and gives a lot of history of how we got to where we are today. The book is not highly technical as it focuses more on high level concepts than on low level system design, but there are definitely parts of the book that require advanced web development knowledge.Overall, the book is fairly good. It has lots of good information and gives clear descriptions of a wide range of topics. The book is very wordy and has very few specific examples, and it seems to spend too much time on the history of mobile instead of focusing more on the future. That said, the book will definitely give you a ton of information about how mobile applications can be developed today. Since I have several years of experience working in the mobile phone industry, there was not much in the book that I was not already aware of, but for someone wanting to jump into the rapidly growing mobile space, this would be an excellent resource.

Good mobile industry intro
By Marvin
from Malaysia
About Me Developer
If you are not working in the mobile or telecommunications industry, the first few chapters would be beneficial even for mobile developers who are just starting out, to learn a bit about mobile history and to learn from it.The author, Brian Fling, an established leader in the mobile development community, with over a decade of experience, shares his opinion and recommends techniques on how to develop a better mobile application or a mobile web application for your users.There are now many variables in developing a mobile application, with factors such as the variations in mobile devices, manufacturers, browsers, screen size, as compared to just building a website or web application.This book does not go deep technically, but it goes wide into introducing technologies and tools that you can use for your mobile project.The most beneficial thing that you can gain from this book is the tips and pitfalls of mobile development. Gathering questions you should ask yourself before starting out with your next mobile project, you would most likely get a higher success rate than just diving right in with your idea.

Design books need great images
By Benrobin
from NYC
I enjoyed the author's perspective, but I thought the examples/screen shots should be in color and larger... Mobile is small enough screen size wise, but the images/examples featured in the book are very small. I know color adds $$ but perhaps you could include color pages in the middle?

Excellent introduction to mobile dev ...
By humedini
from West Sussex, UK
'Mobile Design and Development' is a book that describes itself as being full of "practical techniques for creating mobile sites and web apps". This is indeed the case as this excellent book covers all the basics that you will need to know in order to produce excellent websites and apps for mobile devices. It is important to mention that this book is not solely focused on the iPhone (unlike many other books of this ilk), but instead covers all of the main smartphone technologies available today.The book covers topics from understanding the mobile eco-system, the differences between mobile and traditional design, putting mobile work into context, pros and cons of native application development versus mobile web apps, usability, testing and justifying the choice to work for mobile. All in all this book provides an excellent introduction to designing for mobile - something which is becoming increasingly more important in the current climate. With the convergence of various technologies it seems as though many of us are now carrying around small multimedia computers in our pockets, not just phones. These permanently connected devices provide so many opportunities for the budding mobile designer and content provider, and understand what makes these platforms different in vital to the success of any project.The book is divided in half, with the first section serving as an introduction to mobile technologies and giving details on two basic principles; the need to know the different facets of the mobile medium, and the need to know how to leverage mobile technologies to address context. The second half of the book is all about how to leverage the right mobile technology for your particular need. This is key as although there are many, many ways to achieve a particular goal (when working in mobile), the most important factor for many projects will be choosing the right approach. In order to do this it is important to understand all the pros and cons prior to beginning development - as changing tact midway through a project can be costly in terms of development time and budgets!Those looking for a technical manual telling them exactly how to master a particular mobile approach should stay away, this book is so much more than that. Mastering the technologies is merely a simple google search away, this book is about learning the underlying principles and making solid decisions throughout the development of a project. The book can be read and understood by Project Managers and Developers alike, and I fully intend to recommend clients read certain chapters of this book as well. Refreshingly honest and cleverly written, the book is not afraid to point out weaknesses within the technology and provides sound advice for those looking to make their first steps into the world of mobile design and development.Although not an instructional technical manual as such, there are excellent examples of best practice code within the pages, and these are surrounded by explanatory text detailing the reasons for the approach, as well as any situations where it would not be used. Illustrations and diagrams are used throughout, helping to explain points in more detail, and these are of a high quality as well.In summary, Mobile Design and Development is an excellent read for those looking to develop their knowledge of the mobile space. I thoroughly recommend it for Project / Account Managers looking to understand the approaches required for developing for mobile, and for developers looking to check any mobile specific knowledge required for making decisions regarding the correct techniques for a specific project.

Watch: First Part of 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Super Bowl Spot Arrives
by Ethan Anderton
January 30, 2014
Source: Sony Pictures
"You wanted to be the hero. Now you gotta pay the price." If the New Year's Eve tease wasn't enough to keep the excitement going for this summer's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, well the big game on Sunday should amp things up a bit. There will be a full Super Bowl spot for the comic book sequel from director Marc Webb this weekend, but in order to tickle your tastebuds, the first half (around 30 seconds) has been released online. It ends on a cliffhanger, and it might be a hint at the future fate of Spidey's girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), which shouldn't be unfamiliar to the comic fans. Or it could be misdirection. Watch!
Here's the first part of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Super Bowl spot from Sony Pictures:
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb and written by Jeff Pinker, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) finds, life is busy between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away, but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past. Sony will release Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters this summer on May 2nd. Excited yet?

Democrats Push Change to Filibuster Rule to Fix Senate

Democrats Push Change to Filibuster Rule to Fix Senate
By Laura Litvan and Brian Faler - Jan 5, 2011 3:23 PM MT
Senator Jeff Merkley, seen here, said, "You shouldn't filibuster casually" by being able, as currently allowed, to invoke the tactic "and go to dinner or go on vacation." Photographer: Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images
Senate Democrats pushed as one of their first acts in the new Congress a bid to undercut one of the chamber's most ingrained rules: the filibuster.
The effort that began today is fueled by Republicans' growing use of the filibuster -- the refusal to end debate -- to block legislation since Democrats took control of the Senate in 2007.
"The U.S. Senate is broken," said Senator Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat who is proposing that lawmakers be on the floor debating throughout the time they are relying on filibusters to derail measures.
In remarks on the floor, he said Senate debate has shifted from "mutual respect to mutual destruction" under a filibuster system that allows lawmakers to simply indicate they object to a measure and then "go to dinner."
The proposal by Merkley and Senator Tom Udall, a New Mexico Democrat, would require what they call "talking filibusters." They also would limit the use of a filibuster to blocking a final vote on a measure. Currently, senators can threaten the tactic to stop any debate on a bill, as well as a final vote.
They also want to abolish the system of secretive "holds" senators can use to delay presidential nominations without identifying themselves and their reasoning.
Role Reversal
The Democratic push represents a role reversal for the party. Democrats in 2005 threatened to shut down the Senate when Republicans, who then controlled the chamber, proposed curbing the use of filibusters to thwart judicial nominations.
Republican leaders now are cautioning Democrats that their bid to curtail filibusters could come back to haunt them if they lose the Senate majority in the 2012 elections or in later votes. As the 112th Congress starts, Democrats control the Senate with 53 votes in their caucus, down from the 59 they had in the previous session.
"A change in the rules aimed at benefiting Democrats today could just as easily be used to benefit Republicans tomorrow," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said in a floor speech today. "Do our friends across the aisle really want to create a situation where, two or four or six years from now, they suddenly find themselves powerless to prevent Republicans from overturning legislation they themselves have worked so hard to enact?"
'Deliberate' Place
McConnell also said the "larger point" is that the framers of the U.S. Constitution "crafted the Senate to be different. They crafted if to be a deliberate, thoughtful place. And changing the rules in the way that's been proposed would unalterably change the Senate itself."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said in a floor speech that Senate rules have been "abused, and abused gratuitously."
"The filibuster in particular has been abused in truly unprecedented fashion," Reid said.
Normally, the rule change sought by Merkley and Udall would require 67 votes in the 100-seat chamber, meaning the 47-member Republican caucus could easily block it. Advocates, though, argue that the Senate has temporary power to revise its rules with just 51 votes at the onset of a two-year session.
The use of the filibuster was the centerpiece of the 1939 movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," in which a freshman senator played by Jimmy Stewart takes the floor to oppose a bill and presses his case until he collapses from exhaustion. In real life, Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina filibustered for more than 24 hours in 1957 in a bid to stop a civil rights bill.
Cloture Votes
In recent decades, few lawmakers have resorted to occupying the floor to engage in a filibuster. Instead, leaders of the Senate's minority party signal that they intend to filibuster, causing the majority to schedule a procedural vote, known as cloture, on overcoming the tactic. If that vote fails, leaders of the majority party typically move on to other bills.
A rule change adopted in 1975 changed the number of votes needed to end a filibuster from two-thirds, or 67 of 100 senators, to three-fifths, or 60.
Senator Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, is pushing a plan that would alter that number again. Under his plan, the number of votes needed to end a filibuster would drop the longer a measure is under debate. If several efforts to end a filibuster fail, eventually the delaying tactics could be brought to an end by a simple majority of 51 votes.
Arms Race
Harkin today likened the use of filibusters to an escalating arms race between the warring political parties.
"Because of the indiscriminate use of the filibuster, the ability of our government to legislate and address problems is severely jeopardized," Harkin said.
Republicans took to the floor after he spoke to criticize Democrats for using their control of the chamber to block amendments to legislation and to skip committee consideration of some major proposals -- including last year's landmark overhaul of U.S. health-care system.
"I think our country suffers from that," said Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican. He also said it is inconsistent for the Democrats to complain of obstruction, even as they lauded themselves for a productive congressional session in 2009 and 2010.
Demonstrating the increasing use of the filibuster tactic by whichever party is the minority, the number of cloture votes in each Senate session has roughly tripled since the 1980s. In the 2007-2008 session, the Senate took 112 votes to end filibusters. It took 91 such votes in the two-year session that ended last month.
House Rules
Rules for the House of Representatives don't allow filibusters. The majority party in the 435-member chamber can bring a bill up for final consideration with a simple majority vote.
In the 2009-2010 congressional session, Senate Republicans utilized the filibuster tactic in unsuccessful attempts to thwart an array of legislation, including the health-care overhaul and the revision of rules for Wall Street. The threat of filibusters also was used to block some of President Barack Obama's executive-branch and judicial nominations, and to stall bills that had bipartisan support and eventually passed, including a food safety measure that the president signed into law yesterday.
Dodd's Caution
Democrats have been divided over clamping down on filibusters. In his farewell address to the chamber Nov. 30, Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, who didn't seek a sixth term in 2010, urged his colleagues --especially those "who have never served a day in the minority" -- not to tinker with the rules.
"There should be one institution that would always provide a space where dissent was valued and respected," he said.
Robert Dove, a former Senate parliamentarian, described as "extraordinary" the Democratic effort to change the Senate's rules with just 51 votes.
Skirmishing about filibuster rules will continue in private for a few weeks. Merkley and Harkin say they can reserve their right to change the rules with 51 votes by recessing the Senate until later this month and then declaring the next floor session the same "legislative day."
Martin Gold, who provided advice on parliamentary procedure to Tennessee Republican Bill Frist when Frist was Senate majority leader, cautioned against skirting the 67-vote requirement for rule changes.
'Irretrievably Changed'
"Once they proceed down this path, the Senate will be irretrievably changed -- and not for the better," because "what is being established is a precedent that minorities will therefore always be subject to having rules rammed down their throats," he said.
The most recent sustained dispute over a rules change came in 2005. After Democrats blocked 10 of President George W. Bush's appellate court nominees that year, Republicans threatened to push through a rules change with 51 votes that would prohibit the use of filibusters on judicial confirmations. Democrats eventually agreed to let three appointees be confirmed, and Republicans dropped the rules-change threat.
Before his floor speech today, Harkin said he isn't optimistic that the changes he has sought since 1995 will be adopted.
"The dirty little secret in the Senate is that a senator's power comes not from what a senator can do, but from what a senator can stop," he said. "Every senator knows that, and no senator wants to give that up."

Very nice ppl running it. Clean for the most part. Exactly what we needed. Near the airport.review from KAYAK
The place was clean and care for. Hotel is right off busy highway and the traffic is right behind your head while you sleep. The wall isn't complete, so it is quite noisy. We were told there was a shuttle to the airport, but there was not and we had to pay for the taxi.review from KAYAK

How much weight do people gain during the holidays? The US National Institute of Health reports one pound or .5 kilos. While that may not seem like a lot, you're likely to keep that weight forever. Experts chime in on tips for keeping off the bulk as you toast the season.
"Attitude and commitment are so important to eating healthy any time of year," said US dietician and health expert Brittany Glassett in a news release on November 23. "There is no need to deny yourself all treats this time of year, but if you are mindful of what you are eating and practicing moderation, then you can be successful in your weight management goals."
Dietician Ellen Michal of Duke University in the US recommends shaving off sugary, fatty drinks from your holiday routine - a large seasonal coffee drink adds as many as 400 calories to your diet. Also watch your alcohol intake at parties, which adds calories and increases your appetite.
More healthy holiday-eating tips:
1. Eat small, frequent meals and healthy snacks during the day to help avoid overeating at holiday parties.
2. If you overindulge at one meal, don't stress about it - just get back on track with your next meal.
3. Don't drink your calories. Try alternating water with alcoholic beverages.
4. Substitute - yogurt for cream, sour cream, and mayonnaise, and substitute herbs and spices for salt and fats. You can also add strained applesauce instead of butter or cooking oil when baking.
5. Eat smaller portions or use a smaller plate.
6. Eat your food slowly.
7. Skip the appetizers - or bring your own healthy appetizer to a gathering. Nibble on raw vegetables, low-fat dips, and salsa.
8. Don't loiter in the same room as the food. Focus your attention on the company, rather than the buffet or the bar.
9. Skip the starches.
10. Exercise. Get the family together for a walk after dinner or go to the gym in the mornings before the holiday activities begin.

Some penpal letters lend themselves to cute packaging, right? The other day when I was putting together a letter to send to a penfriend in the UK, I decided to have a bit of a play and make a sheet of confetti wrapping paper to enclose the letter and goodies in before sending.
It was easy to create and turned out really lovely - I ended up making a few more for future packages. So, I thought you guys might even like to make some too! I think these would be lovely for Christmas time too with big red spots hidden inside the paper.
Here's what you'll need for the project:
- Greaseproof paper or paper that is partially see through.
- Confetti - super cheap to buy at most newsagencies
- Sewing machine
Step 1: Work out what size you want your wrapping paper to be & tear off two pieces of greaseproof paper about this size. Or you can tear off a big piece of paper and just fold it in half, like I did.
Step 2: Sew around three sides of the paper, leaving one side open for confetti stuffing! Ideally I should have used a nice dark thread in my machine, so you could see the stitching a little bit better in the above photos. Oops.
Step 3: Also sew a centre line down your piece of paper as this will help hold the confetti in each section a little better - so it doesn't all clump together in one big area!
Step 4: Fill the two big sections with confetti. Fun!
Step 5: Use your sewing machine to stitch a few smaller sections across the width of the wrapping paper - just to help hold the confetti in place.
My confetti wrapping paper ended up with 8 sections/pockets to hold the confetti, but just do whatever takes your fancy.
Wrap up a gift, letter or card and admire the pretty package.
It was a bit hard to photograph properly, but in real life it looks ever so pretty with all those colourful spots of colour showing through the paper.
Happy confetti-ing!

Burglary suspect uses baby as shield
Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies were able to resolve a dangerous situation in Estacada Saturday afternoon.
They were trying to find a suspect in the burglary of a house in the 400 block of Clackamas Way in Estacada.
The suspect, Raleigh Reynolds, ran, jumped the back fence and hid inside of another house.
A woman, who was Reynolds sister, ran from the house.
Reynolds tried several times to run, but the house was surrounded by deputies.
Reynolds came out of the house holding a seven-month-old baby and he was using it as a shield between himself and deputies. They thought he might be armed.
Deputies eventually negotiated with Reynolds to put down the baby and give himself up. He was taken into custody without ancient. He wasn't armed and the baby was not hurt.
The child was Reynods' son.
Reynolds was booked into the Clackamas County Jail on the burglary charge and additionally; obstructing governmental administration, endangering welfare of a minor and resisting arrest.

Lady Gaga Arrives in San Juan, Voices Sentiments On Sandy
Arriving to her next international performance destination, Lady Gaga landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Tuesday (October 30).
The Mother Monster looked fashion forward in high-waisted mustard yellow pants and a blush color top as she casually gave a wave to the awaiting shutterbugs.
Gaga's arrival comes as she tweeted about the destruction caused to her childhood neighborhood by Hurricane Sandy.
The 26 year old posted, "im not sure where to put these feelings. im so sad. i feel like my entire childhood is underwater. the boardwalk in atlantic city, my old Apts in Brooklyn and LES. all the bars and friends. im just so sad. i know it will be ok. im not sure why i feel this way. maybe homesickness, or maybe its easier to be a gypsy if you know your soul grows from somewhere great. and that great place protected me my whole life, now parts are destroyed. just very sad and pensive today. thinking of everyone today."

Review - The Amazing Spider-Man
Showing in a cinema in
Peter Nelis
27 June, 2012
Our dodgy camera sense is tingling...
Release Date:
XBox 360, PS3, WII, DS, PC, 3DS
Age Rating:
Despite the fact that he's the ideal focus for a video game, Spider-Man has yet to receive a title to genuinely catapult him into the gaming stratosphere. Shattered Dimensions (2010) and Edge of Time (2011) were most definitely steps in the right direction, but they were based on the comic book universe created around the character, as opposed to Mark Webb's brand new big-screen universe, created for stars Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans and Emma Stone. Unfortunately, the big-name character likenesses don't make an appearance here for some reason (most likely a licensing issue), but Activision has been able to call upon many of the plot elements of the movie.
Those of you worried that the game will spoil the movie may be interested to know that it's not actually a direct adaptation; instead it takes place after the film's events. However that in itself brings with it some potential spoilers, so if you're determined not to have your viewing pleasure tainted, we would suggest you hold off on getting your digital web-slinging kicks until The Amazing Spider-Man hits cinemas. If you don't think you can wait that long, then you won't have too much spoiled, just a few things here and there given the game's timeline. But before you run out and give Activision your hard earned money, perhaps you might want to hear what we thought of the game first?
With Batman's Arkham series proving to be a smash hit, it was always going to be likely that another developer would try its hand at the third person semi-sandbox style arrangement for a character like Spider-Man, and given Spidey's considerable talents, it's definitely a fine fit on paper. With players able to swing their way through the city with the touch of a button, you'd have thought that things would work quite well here, unfortunately that's not quite the case. Before we look at the areas in which The Amazing Spider-Man falls down, we would like to point out that it's not a bad game, and we'll take a look at why shortly, it's just that there are some pretty serious issues here that need to be addressed off the bat.
The biggest issue, and potentially the most unforgivable for some people, is the incredibly inconsistent camera work. While we certainly appreciate that it's got to be tough nailing down a solid camera angle for a game where the protagonist can swing through the cityscape, walk on walls and dash to far corners at the touch of a button, when things get up front and personal with your enemies it really proves to be a pain in the backside. Even aiming your attacks can be a real chore should you decide to attack from above, so be warned; it's going to take a very forgiving soul to look past this!
Other problems include the lack of focus when it comes to the game's open world structure. This certainly isn't anything new with the genre, as ably demonstrated by the ADD afflicted GTA series, but here it's as bad as we've ever seen it. Some may enjoy the ability to completely forget what they were doing many times over in order to chase side missions or search for comic book pages, but we found the way these missions are implemented a little unimpressive. After attaching devices to police radio towers, Spidey can tune in to all the latest news from the boys in blue, opening up a number of additional quests, but none of them really fit with the action, and they feel exceptionally tagged on, adding little to progress the story.
It's a real shame, because the main narrative here is quite engaging. Spider-Man fans will love the way the story snakes around the character's universe, featuring both old and new characters into the bargain, and the missions are enjoyable when they don't fall into the "go here, do this, go back" trap that seems endemic in sandbox titles. The combat is solid although far from spectacular thanks to occasionally unresponsive controls and that damn camera angle, even if racking up huge combos can feel mightily satisfying if executed with style.
At its core, The Amazing Spider-Man is a decent game. The web-slinging mechanics work as well as we've ever seen in a Spider-Man title, and there's enough variety to the enemies to keep things feeling fresh, however the storyline does flag somewhat in places and the game's technical issues are often too big to look past. If you've been crying out for an above-average Spidey title than this is certainly going to interest you, but if you're hoping for something that can go toe to toe with Arkham City then you're going to be sorely disappointed.

A Pikachu Cafe is currently open in Tokyo, and the restaurant recently hosted an event that featured a Pikachu maid. Celebrity Rika Adachi dressed as pocket monster maid for the event (maid cafes are apparently a thing in that part of Tokyo), and her appearance makes sense since she'll be appearing in the latest Pokémon movie as Marilyn Flame. I'm not sure why she didn't dress as her character, but I guess it is a Pikachu themed restaurant.
See more pics of the maid costume after the break.

To attract 3,000 new salaried employees this year—800 more than the company anticipated—Ford Motor Co. launched a recruiting campaign that relies heavily on social media.
The campaign, titled, "The Distance Between You and an Amazing Career Has Never Been Shorter," starts the application process on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter instead of through more traditional means, such as mail or telephone.
"The type of talent we want at Ford are often searching for and evaluating potential employers on social media sites, so expanding our recruiting efforts on these channels ensures we have a strong presence throughout their selection process," says Felicia Fields, Ford's HR president. Plus, she notes, the focus on social media helps the company portray the "fresh and innovative image that reflects Ford and what we stand for."
In addition to the social media campaign, Ford also is increasing its recruiting presence on college campuses. The car maker also has announced a goal to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the U.S. by 2015.
Contact: Jay Cooney of Ford, (313) 319-5477.

Inside the Bridgestone Arena this morning, the atmosphere's like that of a sold-out concert, and the crowd's just as big. The floor of the arena's open -- that's where people actually will audition -- but the seats are packed to the rafters. At 8 a.m., there are an easy 16,000 people inside, and folks are still streaming in.
Former American Idol contestants Melinda Doolittle and Felicia Barton have come to talk to the crowd and maybe calm their nerves a little. But Melinda, who auditioned in Memphis but now lives in Nashville, has nerves of her own. Just seeing this crowd and remembering the audition process makes her stomach hurt.
In the production area, everybody's getting ready. Musical director Michael Orland is here -- he'll be one of today's screeners -- and Michael Becker is taking photos. In all, Idol has brought a crew of about 50 people with them.
Soon, more than a dozen tables will be set up on the arena floor -- a surface that was covered with water two and a half months ago -- and each table will have a representative from Idol, as well as someone from 19 Entertainment. People will start auditioning, in full view of everyone. After all, if you're going to have to sing in front of 20 million people, you'd better be ready to sing in front of 16,000 -- even if every one of those people wants the same job you do.
Anybody that gets past the screeners' tables will follow a series of paper signs taped to the floor that say, "WINNERS CIRCLE" to fill out their paperwork for the next round. The less fortunate, and there will be many, many more of them, will follow a different, unlabeled path that leads directly back to the street.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

Watch any conservative TV show or read the conservative press and their constant complaints is that President Obama has deserted our military forces and refuses to listen to advice from those who lead the armed forces. A new conservative coalition promised to fight repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on grounds as Elaine Donnelly put it: "our men and women in uniform should not have to pay the bill for political promises the president has made to the left." The Alliance Defense Fund is particularly concerned that members of the clergy would have to violate their faith by interacting with homosexuals and, heaven's sake, they might even have to teach others that homosexuals are decent people!
Conservatives are right about one thing, it is time the American people learned who are these left wing Socialist Commies! Here are some of those names:
Colin Powell
Admiral Mike Mullen, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Robert Gates who served in the administration of the left wing's primary agent, George Bush.
I am bewildered on one point. Why are these God fearing Americans more concerned about the feelings of chaplains who don't serve on the firing lines than gays and lesbians who every day risk their lives in the service of the nation?

"An upscale Pet Boutique. A great selection of food, treats, and even raw. A great place to take your dogs!"
Love this store
This is the best pet store ever! We live in TX, but we always visit TAG to see Carl and Tim and to shop, of course. They also have a great on-line shop.
nice, but...
a wonderful small neighborhood store however, it is a little pricey. the proprietor is very friendly and knowledgeable.
We love Tag!
Our mom moved to Denver before she adopted us, so we have never been to Tag, but our mom says that it is THE BEST place to feel papmered! Also, she says that Tim and Carl really know their stuff when it comes to healthy food and treats! And you can not beat their food prices! All of our favorite toys come from Tag. Tim and Carl are wonderful humans, too, so you can feel great about shopping there!

More than 80% of a wireless operator's energy operational expenses are directly related to electricity consumption, so containing operational expenditures (OPEX) is a top concern for many mobile executives. Wireless operators need innovative green solutions, which can deliver bottom-line savings, without the impact of a major infrastructure overhaul.
Nexius, a company delivering end-to-end wireless services and software solutions to industries worldwide, Tuesday announced the launch of a new green energy service designed to reduce wireless operators' utility bills up to 20%. The service applies Nexius' strategic wireless industry consulting knowledge with eCurv's asynchronous regulation system to deliver real-time visibility and control of wireless operators' energy consumption.
Edison Almeida, eCurv's CEO, said, "With eCurv asynchronous regulation, power is used at the right place and the right time without affecting equipment performance. Our solution drives energy cost reductions by bringing peak demand under control, saving the wireless industry millions of dollars annually. Nexius' expertise in engineering services and software solutions will have an immediate impact on scaling and further developing our solution."
In addition to the cost savings that the Nexius green energy service provides, it also uses eCurv's asynchronous regulation system to offer visibility into a wireless operator's energy consumption down to the individual cell site. This enables wireless operators to determine their return on investment on a per-site level. The joint solution also includes a full assessment from Nexius of the wireless operator's current utilities spend and provides a detailed strategy for cost reduction on a network-wide basis.
"The Nexius green energy service enhances Nexius' asset management solution by providing a tool for obtaining deeper insights into a network's energy usage. The eCurv technology innovations delivered through this service give Nexius consultants a real-time view into our customers' actual energy consumption on a per-asset level," said Chris Haidet, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nexius. "Monitoring energy consumption and implementing simple and effective ways to use energy more efficiently are the first steps to transforming traditional networks. We look forward to partnering with our wireless operator customers as they leverage Nexius' green energy solutions to compete not only on network coverage and service quality but also on the amount of energy they consume."

So far, The Pirate Bay's promos have been very successful for the featured artists.
Not by any reasonable definition of the word 'successful' so far.
George Barnett, who was one of the first featured artists on The Promo Bay, said the boost from The Pirate Bay helped him add 4,000 new Facebook fans and 85,000 new views on his video. Filmmaker Tomas Vergara got a healthy boost from The Promo Bay, with his short film "The Chase" earning more than 250,000 views in three days.
"When I had a reply saying that they liked it and I'd have a worldwide display on The Pirate Bay homepage, I pulled off my hair," Vergara said. "I think its been a while since I've opened my eyes that wide. Now 'The Chase' is having massive exposure. I'm so damn happy. This is the kind of things you were not expecting in life, I guess."
Another thing you are not expecting in life is to break even. I hope your utility companies accept payment in positive reviews because your "fans" will be taking your films for free whether you like it or not.
Bank: "We cannot accept 'exposure' as a mortgage payment."
Naive Filmmaker: "But... it's massive exposure!"
Winston said that his initial plan for The Promo Bay has changed, he said it's all about looking for quality content, as well as diversity. He hopes The Pirate Bay can help transform a few artists' lives for the better.

The International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo rolled the dice and won when industry professionals came together Nov. 12-14 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
"We were genuinely impressed with the number of beautiful exhibits, engaging displays and the wide variety of unique products being presented at the Expo in 2013," said Tracy Garcia, Hanley Wood Exhibitions show director. "It was clear the exhibitors had spent a lot of time and energy ensuring an incredible show floor experience for the attendees."
The event attracted 539 exhibiting companies to a show floor that spanned 140,850 net square feet. Verified attendance grew 16 percent this year compared with the 2012 Expo in New Orleans, according to organizers.
The first night kicked off with the Welcome Party at LIGHT Nightclub, sponsored by the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals. "It was a huge success, with more than 800 people attending," Garcia said.
First-time exhibitor BioSafe Systems, based in East Hartford, Conn., was pleased with attendee turnout and traffic in the exhibit hall. "It was very good," said Colin Garry, pool and spa account manager. "The first two days, especially."
His company has already signed up for next year's Expo, scheduled for Nov. 5-7, 2014, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
In addition to the trade show, IPSPE offered 40 brand-new classes as part of its educational program.
Attendee Chad Sarver, owner of Platinum Pool Service in Omaha, Neb., brought several members of his staff to the Expo to take advantage of the seminars.
"We always enjoy the educational aspect of the show," he said. "There are very few events that offer the opportunity for learning that you get at the national show."
Members of his administrative staff took advantage of the business seminars, while his technicians brushed up on water testing skills. "It was a good chance for our staff to learn," Sarver added. "I thought the show was beneficial for all of us."
New this year was the Hayward School of Business, which had six sessions designed to help increase the effectiveness, productivity and profitability of the attendees' companies. Many of the sessions were standing room only.
In addition to walking the show floor, Sarver said he also found time to network with other business owners and glean ideas from them. It's an opportunity he enjoys.
The International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo is a property of Hanley Wood, LLC, which also owns this publication.

Cathedral City man suspected of causing drunk driving crash in Rancho Mirage
Police say 55 year old man crashed into two SUV's that had collided
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. - A Cathedral City man was arrested on suspicion of DUI after he crashed into two SUV's that had collided in an intersection in Rancho Mirage, authorities said today.
The crash resulting in the arrest occurred at Bob Hope and Dinah Shore Drives at 2:04 p.m. Tuesday, a police statement said.
Deputies responding to a report that a 2000 Ford Explorer and a 2004 Toyota Highlander had collided at a red light found a third vehicle in the intersection, the statement said.
Joseph Garcia, 55, of Cathedral City, was treated for injuries at a hospital, then booked into the county jail in Indio on suspicion of DUI, according to the statement.

Rattlesnake Trading Company shuttered about a week and a half ago, leaving its fans to grapple with the loss. "Now there's no place for a good espresso at this time in the morning," says James Quigley of the Kingfisher Fly Shop, which sits a couple doors down from RTC. "It's pretty sad."
Over the years, the convenience store has earned a reputation among locals as being the place to go for a quick and quality breakfast or to-go sandwiches for later on the river. RTC's "breakfast thingy" in particular, a toasted English muffin loaded with egg, bacon or sausage, and other assorted toppings, garnered a devoted following. In 2007, the Indy honored it with a staff pick in its Best of Missoula issue for "Best Reason to Get Out of Bed in the Morning."
Attempts to contact RTC owner Robert Blomgren were unsuccessful. Missoula real estate agent Mike Marbut, who's listed the property for sale, says Blomgren put the property on the market nearly a month ago for $175,000.
Marbut says RTC leases its land from Montana Rail Link for $200 a month. In light of the fact that the sale price includes store contents, such as the espresso machine, Marbut thinks it's a pretty good deal. "The non-perishable inventory is still there," he says. "It could be whatever a person wants."
While it remains to be seen if a buyer will come forward and, as many hope, revive the breakfast thingy, it is clear that locals will continue to mourn.
"Almost every day I was over there," says the Green Hanger's Gloria Clark. "They were like an old friend."

The United States is not quite like this. The slums and the craziness are difficult to ignore, especially in a place like Manhattan. And yet, to many Americans, outside the few truly cosmopolitan centres, it must often feel as though the outside world doesn't exist. Local newspapers and television stations pay little attention to foreign affairs. Life is good in the richest and freest nation on earth. There is the odd mad bomber to hit the evening news, and you might possibly get mugged if you stray into the wrong street, but, by and large, the US seemed like a well-guarded refuge from the world's bad neighbourhoods.
No wonder, then, that the politics of isolationism and retreat have always had a strong appeal for Americans. The much-vaunted missile shield is a bit like those high fences around Manila's "villages". Most people arrived in America to escape from the mad and the bad, and many would love nothing more than to wash their hands of the lot of them. Involuntary migrants, such as African slaves, would have doubtless taken a different view, but even their descendants, as more and more move into middle-class American comfort, are often grateful to be insulated from the outside world's ills.
This feeling of contented insulation breeds a peculiar complacency. I have noticed, for example, a certain exasperation among comfortable, secular, assimilated American Jews with the problems of fellow Jews, who were foolish enough to choose Israel as their preferred place to live. Why the hell didn't they come to the United States, where they would be safe from all the crazies who would do them harm? If they want to live in the Middle East, amidst the meshuggenehs, well then, they almost deserve what's coming to them.
Complacency takes different forms, to be sure, often depending on political inclinations. But both right and left varieties of American isolationism feed off a deep distrust of government. Rightists fetishise the citizen's right to bear arms, and see the state as an archenemy of their God-given liberties. Leftists tend to see government conspiracies everywhere, out to control American citizens by conjuring up imaginary threats. The curled lip with which some commentators on the left spoke about "the war against terrorism" suggested that terrorism was a mere fiction of the American empire. The cold war, too, has been described by people of this persuasion as a kind of hoax, concocted simply to beef up the "industrial-military complex". As with all forms of paranoia, this one contained a kernel of truth. But retreat from the world's problems was never a sensible option, morally or indeed practically.
If Americans have felt the tug of splendid isolation, however, they have been pulled in the opposite direction too. US foreign policy has been equally marked by a crusading zeal to spread the blessings of American freedom among others less favoured. This has often been a noble enterprise. Many Europeans owe their lives to American generosity. But it has got the US into an awful lot of trouble too. If it was always hard to strike the proper balance between crusading and retreat, the attack on New York and Washington will make it harder still.
One temptation will be to hide behind higher, more formidable fences. Another will be to lash out wildly in the cause of freedom. Pre-Black Tuesday it was still possible to do both, by dropping bombs from great heights, killing bad foreigners without risking American lives. But to track down terrorists in hostile terrain will be a different proposition. Americans will almost certainly die. This is one lesson of war to get used to. The other is that the US can no longer afford the luxury of retreat, for the mad, bad world has scaled the walls and come home. Active engagement in the Middle East, North Korea and other lethal spots is not a matter of crusading any more, but of simple self-defence.

I've now read both of the Oz books that appear on the 100 Best Chapter Books list. Ozma of Oz is the third Oz tale and it's one of the two books that was borrowed from to make the 1985 film Return to Oz with Fairuza Balk. (The other was The Marvelous Land of Oz, book two of the series.)
The full title of this book, at least on the title page of my old Reilly & Lee Co. version, is Ozma of Oz: A Record of Her Adventures with Dorothy Gale of Kansas, the Yellow Hen, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Tiktok, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger; Besides Other Good People too Numerous to Mention Faithfully Recorded Herein. This is the first time that I've ever thought that Catherynne M. Valente's titles are reasonable lengths. 😉 And it's interesting that it assigns Ozma the leading role in the story when it's actually Dorothy's tale for the most part — but Ozma is a queen so I assume that's why she gets top billing!
There's a lot to like in this book. There are a few new characters to enjoy, like Billina the hen (actually Bill but Dorothy didn't approve of that), but none so wonderful as Tiktok the Mechanical Man. I first read these books when I was very young and I thought he was the most fantastic thing ever. He was the first "robot" in literature but I didn't know that, of course. He was just a kind but slightly helpless fellow who was loyal and brave and at the mercy of a little girl who needed to remember to wind him up regularly. And this time, as I read this book with Z, he felt exactly the same way about Tiktok. In fact, this book was a wonderful one to read together. I seem to have a very good chicken voice in my repertoire. Z was creeped out by Princess Languidere, she of the interchangeable heads (and personalities), and furious with the Nome King and brokenhearted at the apparent loss of the Tin Woodman. He actually clapped with joy when the Woodman was found again. It's amazing for a book that is 105 years old to still get this kind of reaction from a young reader. I couldn't be happier at how well this story has held up over the years.
Verdict: Buy
I'm definitely going to keep reading the Oz series in order now that I've started, at least through the books that I own. If you're looking to start the series and would like a version of The Wizard of Oz with a completely different look, check out the newly released version from Harper Design with art by Michael Sieben. It's colorful and has fun fonts and lots of smiles.
The next chapter book is one I'm really, really looking forward to — Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I might have only read it once or twice as a kid but I watched the movie dozens of times and loved it so I'm going to pair this read with a watch. (The film is streaming on Netflix right now and I'm even willing to do a TweetChat viewing if there's interest.)

text: String of Senate Victories Shows Rejection of Extremist Tea Party Agenda Despite Avalanche of Corporate Cash Poured into Election WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- LIUNA – the half-million member Laborers' International Union of North America – today congratulated President Obama and Vice President Biden on their re-election and urged Congress to work with the Administration to enact his robust economic growth agenda. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91600LOGO) "We also congratulate our union's leaders and members, whose effort was unparalleled in the history of our organization. We have never been prouder of their aggressive and unprecedented efforts to make sure the President has the opportunity to complete the job he started – reviving our economy and focusing attention on the basics of America, including our decaying critical infrastructure," LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan said. "We also salute incumbent Democrats who were re-elected and those newly elected in the Senate and House, whose hard-won victories make us even more optimistic that the President's agenda will succeed," O'Sullivan said. "Despite the avalanche of corporate cash poured into this election, the Presidential and Congressional results show that the extremist Tea Party agenda was rejected." At the national level, LIUNA mailed more than 700,000 pieces of mail, made more than 350,000 phone calls and dedicated more than 400 full-time staff to President Obama's re-election. Twenty-five Local Union telephone town halls and three national telephone town halls were held, including one on Election Eve which drew more than 30,000 members, 3,000 of whom were in Ohio. At the state and local level, millions of communications contacts were delivered via phone, email, text messaging, social media and by member-to-member contact. Prior to Election Day, the union increased voter registration among members by 16 percent, with 100 Local Unions reaching 80 percent of members registered. On Election Day, an estimated 7,000 LIUNA members worked in precincts. "LIUNA members held nothing back in this election because the stakes were so high," O'Sullivan said. "The men and women who build our country believe in the President's plans to restore our transportation systems, to enact an "all-of-the-above" energy policy and grow an economy that creates good jobs and rewards work, not just Wall Street. It is imperative that Congress now shift course away from obstruction and toward cooperation and compromise for the sake of our country and the middle class."

TheiPhoneMom's iPhone is currently sitting in a bag of rice. That's right, my iPhone took an unfortunate, accidental swim.
It all started when I took my four young children to a local child-orientated amusement park. The park has many water rides. Our first stop was the lazy river. I chose not to lock my iPhone 4S in my locker, but to carry it with me, in case someone needed me throughout the day. Before we got on line for the lazy river, I buried my phone deep inside our diaper bag as a (admittedly not too advanced) security measure. I figured no one would dig that far down into my bag to look for something to take!
The line was long, and the river took me out of site of our stroller and diaper bag. And that whole time I was on the tube, with a little one on my lap while holding onto my other kids' tubes, I was worrying about the fate of my iPhone. Would it still be there when I returned?
I noticed all around me that people had waterproof cases around their necks and decided that rather than worry, I would buy one after the ride. As soon as we finished, I went to the closest kiosk, which of course, was right next to the ride, and purchased a case that would fit my iPhone. It had three ziplock type enclosures and then rolled down and velcroed to create a seal. I happily slipped my iPhone inside and spent the rest of the day worry free.
Our last wet ride of the day was a raft down a long twisty slide. When I went to get into the raft the waterproof case took a dip in the water. I was vaguely worried but decided the iPhone would be ok. When it was time to go home, I took my iPhone out of the case along with a $20 bill and that's when I noticed just how wet that $20 was. I nervously turned on my iPhone.
The moment of truth…I was elated to see that the iPhone worked! However, it quickly became apparent that there was some water damage. The home button refused to work and the sound insisted there were headphones attached when there clearly was not. Over the next few hours the sound corrected but the home button remained glitchy. The screen also showed some water signs.
I told my husband it was time to upgrade to an iPhone 5 when it gets announced/released in the next few weeks (or at least is rumored to be all across the media)! But since we do not have an upgrade available in the near future, that is not really a possibility. Our amusement park trip was looking like it would become a $1,000 trip! I was very annoyed with the amusement park for selling a faulty waterproof case and at myself for not leaving the iPhone in my locker! On a positive note, the $20 dried out nicely.
And that's how my iPhone ended up in a bag of rice. I do not have high hopes of this method working. It looks like I will need to send my phone into a company to fix it. This looks like a good option: http://fixmyiphone.com/iphone_4s
There are many iPhone repair companies out there, here are a few I easily found online:
Have you had water damage to an iPhone? How did you dry it out and get it back up and running? Any experience with a repair company? Let me know below!
Update! My phone has been graciously fixed by Mobile Genius: https://www.theiphonemom.com/welcome-home-iphone

Mine took a dive in coffee. With cream and sugar. For a few minutes before we realized it. Yeah. Not pretty considering my iPhone 4s was only 6 months old. *cries* I did the bag of rice trick – it took 3-4 days, but it did dry out. It's worked "okay" since. The screen is dark due to the stains. I do have a problem with it occasionally overheating giving a SIM card error (ironically, I can't get the SIM slot open – hmmm because of the sugar?!?), but usually it self corrects quickly. I'm not due for an upgrade for 15 months or so, but I may go into the store and ask what they can do for me with the release of iPhone 5. They might allow me to upgrade with a new contract. They may not. It's worth a shot. I don't think the phone will last 15 months, though (the dive in coffee was 2 months ago), so I'll either have to suck it up and get a new one or send it off for repair. I'll be interested to see what other readers have to say about repairing. Oh, and of course, I didn't get the insurance. *sigh*
Good luck!
iphone 4 cases
There are many iphone 4 cases available in the market which are having water proof and saves the phone when it falls into the water. And if it does not help then the sack of rice helps to soak the water from the iphone.
Hi TheiPhoneMom,
Well, amazing what a few days will bring – Suddenly, the SIM card error is happening All. The. Time. I finally got the SIM card holder open today – card looked okay – I've cleaned it and the phone is still throwing an error. I read on some of the forums that this isn't uncommon with iPhone 4s – that updating the OS will fix it in 99% of cases (it didn't in mine). The other suggestion was replacing the SIM card – so I will probably head to the phone store and request a replacement. Of course, that means fessing up to the great Coffee Debacle. 🙂
I am currently backing up my phone as we "speak" and I plan to hard boot, and I might just completely restore it and see what that does. I'm not a fan of "restoring" but hey, it might be worth a try.
Did you send your phone away?
Thanks for the recommendation! I look forward to your review!

Mine took a swim in the sink while washing dishes. I quickly dried the exterior of my wet iPhone then put it in a plastic bag with rice. After two day, i opened the bag and it's been working fine since..there are some small issues, not worth me spending 300.00 for a new phone.
