To the chagrin of many in his own party, President Obama has almost always been willing to negotiate — on taxes, on spending, even on the social safety net.
But in the current fights over a potential government shutdown and the debt limit, the Democratic president has decided where he will draw the line.
On Thursday, Obama categorically rejected the Republican demand that he roll back the Affordable Care Act in order to keep the government open and also refused to entertain negotiations on raising the debt ceiling.
Both positions, a centerpiece of his strategy this fall, are striking for a president who has made his willingness to meet the opposition "more than halfway" a defining characteristic of his political persona. Obama gave in on a key feature of his health-care plan in 2010 — a public insurance option — and engaged in a lengthy negotiation over the debt ceiling in 2011.
But in his remarks Thursday, Obama said Republicans were trying "to blackmail" him over the health-care law and pledged that he would have none of it.
"Some have threatened a government shutdown if they can't shut down this law," Obama said at an event at Prince George's Community College in Largo. "Others have actually threatened an economic shutdown by refusing to pay America's bills if they can't delay the law. That's not going to happen as long as I'm president."
He added: "I will not negotiate on anything when it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States of America."
But the approach exposes the president to significant risks. On the debt ceiling, Obama could be blamed for refusing to negotiate if the nation defaults and the economy falls into a tailspin. Republicans argue that they would be seen as the ones extending a hand to the other side and would blame the president for declining a deal.
And in refusing to negotiate over the Affordable Care Act — colloquially known as Obamacare — he is standing his ground over an unpopular law that is constantly facing new challenges, both technical and political.
On Thursday, the administration announced that it would delay a part of the law affecting small businesses. Meanwhile, Sen. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.) became the first Democrat to endorse a delay in the individual mandate, the provision that requires most Americans to obtain health insurance and that Republicans are seeking to postpone.
"I think the American people are on our side in saying that the president should come to the table and negotiate," Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.) said Thursday on MSNBC. "I think we can have meaningful negotiations as has been done in the past over the debt ceiling. We are on firmer ground and also I think there is a lot more progress that can be made."
But Democrats have embraced Obama's approach to the fiscal fight this fall after many recoiled at the compromises he supported in his first term.
In particular, many Democrats see Obama's decision in 2011 to negotiate with Republicans over the debt limit as a profound mistake. Obama agreed to the deep spending cuts known as sequestration in order to get Republicans to increase the debt limit — cuts that are now chipping away at all his economic priorities.
"I think we got burned, and I think the president learned from that. There was not the clarity from the White House that we would not negotiate from the debt ceiling," said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.). "He made the agreement on the sequester that haunts us to this day, and frankly a lot of us thought that was a grave mistake."
Welch said, however, that Obama's new stance is a welcome change. "He's been clear, direct and insistent," he said. "It's been reassuring to Democrats."
Republicans argue that Obama is being disingenuous by refusing to negotiate. They note that lawmakers have often demanded concessions from the White House in order to raise the borrowing limit, which allows the government to pay for spending already approved by Congress.
But White House officials say Obama has no choice but to reject any discussion on the debt limit, saying it's the first time that the minority party has tried to force massive changes to public policy by threatening a default of the federal debt.
White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer likened House Republicans to "people with a bomb strapped to their chest" in remarks to CNN. And White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that "it would be irresponsible" to allow the debt limit to become "part of a political extortion game."
White House officials insist they're open to negotiating over the nation's balance of taxes and spending but just won't make concessions in exchange for demands over the debt ceiling. Congressional Democrats argue that it's Republicans who have been uninterested in compromise.
"We have tried for months to sit down at the table with Republicans and negotiate on the budget," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "They have absolutely refused."
But Republicans say Obama's actions have led to greater brinkmanship, pointing out that the president called House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) last Friday simply to inform him that there would be no negotiations over the debt limit.
"We ask the president to call again, but this time, don't call to say he won't talk," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) "Do exactly what the American people ask: Sit down and work together so that we can get this country moving one more time."

'Nashville Star' singer Charley Jenkins: I shouldn't have been ousted
By Christopher Rocchio, 06/11/2008
Charley Jenkins doesn't think he deserved to be the
first finalist eliminated
Nashville Star
sixth season.
"I feel that I should be in contention now. I don't feel that I definitely didn't win the night, nor do I feel like maybe I was even in the Top 5. But out of
the 12 acts
, I felt like that -- honestly -- I didn't believe that I would be in the bottom two," Jenkins told Reality TV World during a Tuesday conference call.
Making the elimination even harder to swallow for the 29-year-old Murray, UT resident is that he was ousted from the competition by
Nashville Star
sixth-season judging panel -- country singer, songwriter and producer John Rich; fifth-season host Jewel; and songwriter and producer Jeffrey Steele -- and not home viewer votes.
"I feel like I could've been around for a little while," Jenkins told Reality TV World when asked how he would have faired if fans had instead decided his fait.
"Eleven of those get America to decide on and one of them doesn't. And in reality you kind of feel like you just got cut from the final. And so it's kind of sad when you just don't get that opportunity -- what I feel like to get that opportunity for America to decide because I think it's a little easier when America decides versus three people's opinions or a network's opinion, I guess."
Jenkins performed Tim McGraw's "I Like It, I Love It" during Monday night's sixth-season debut.
"You have a minute and 15 seconds to show the world or to show those judges what you can do and so you have to make the best with the song -- the best that you possibly can. And so it's absolutely critical that the song matches you and that you can maybe even have a song that you could do something with. The song that I particularly had is pretty much mainstream country with a little staccato," Jenkins told reporters during the conference call.
"It could get a little more chopped up. But I don't think I brought anything really fresh and new to the song. I didn't know exactly what I could do with the song to make it more appealing than what I did."
However it wasn't Jenkins' vocal ability that was criticized by the judging panel -- as he was instead bashed for his performance, which included the crooner interacting with the audience.
"There's so much that you can control and there's so much you can't control -- meaning song selection and also often your staging and where you can and can't go on stage, and where you should go, and kind of your role within the competition as an overall look of the competition. In my situation I was criticized for the way that I went down into the audience and that was a big criticism that they gave to me," Jenkins told reporters. "That was beyond my control. That was part of something that I was suggested and kind of asked to do."
While Jenkins claims mingling with the studio audience was something that was suggested to him, he said it wasn't totally foreign to him as a performer.
"I do it quite a bit actually in a live show, but I usually do it later in the show. I don't usually come out and go right into the audience and do something like that," he explained.
Once Jenkins said he left the stage, he was performing sans monitors and had a hard time hearing what the band was playing via the speakers since they were now farther away.
"I wasn't in the pocket as well as I would like to be and I think I over sang the song a little bit," he added. "So that was one technical challenge that I had singing the song and I think I over sang it a little bit. So I was a little uncomfortable because of that. But other than that, I'm pretty comfortable being down in front of the audience."
Rich compared Jenkins' performance to a "Garth Brooks impersonator in Las Vegas" on Monday night, and the ousted Top 12 finalist called the judge "very opinionated."
"One of the things about this competition that's hard is that John is responsible for taking the winner in and producing their album, and also writing the song that they're going to sing," explained Jenkins. "And so if that one particular judge does not feel that you are the artist that he wants to work with, he could really sway the competition and take it away from somebody that he doesn't believe in - him personally."
Jenkins recalled one of the sixth-season tryouts when Rich criticized some contestants for being "more pop and kind of less mainstream country." Jenkins said he found the comment ironic when you look at the type of music Rich has produced.
"Now -- granted -- he's written some great country songs and I'm not going to take that away from him," said Jenkins. "But it's hard for me -- somebody who is a George Strait fan and straight up pretty much loves that type of country music -- to get lectured when somebody has got a rapper and more of a gimmick, even a midget in their band."
Jenkins quickly backtracked and said didn't want to sound "bigoting of anybody," but also stuck to his guns in criticizing Rich.
"I'm just saying, it's just a completely different style of country music than I'm used to," he said. "To be honest, I don't know exactly what he's looking for but it definitely sways -- and did last night -- swayed my involvement with the show because if he doesn't believe in me, if that one judge again does not believe in me, then I have no shot."
Jenkins added
Nashville Star
judging panel has a "different dynamic" than that of
"I don't know if it's good or bad," he said. "Time will tell."
He explained that since both Jewel and Rich are current country artists who are trying to sell and promote their own albums,
Nashville Star
eventual sixth-season winner will be competing with them.
"Because of that, the dynamics of judging changes and I don't know if it's good or bad. I haven't really had a chance to think about it. I'm starting to form an opinion in my mind whether that's good or not," he said. "But I think having another current artist judging you is even more critical. I think the judges in
Nashville Star
were more critical of us than I think you would get in
American Idol
Despite all that, Jenkins said he tried not to take the judges comments personally.
"I think that they were a little critical, maybe especially for the first show. I think they could've worked into it a little bit more. But they've also got very strong opinions, all of them, and at least they're willing to share them," said Jenkins. "I would never be arrogant enough to say that I would've won the competition. And to be honest, that wasn't my overall objective. I just wanted the opportunity for America to see me sing."
Jenkins said he's "extremely grateful" for that opportunity.
"Just because it was a platform to millions of people that I wouldn't have gotten at this quickly," he said. "Doing something like this does expose you to things that you can do better. And watching myself on TV and having that type of look and a real analytical look, there's certain holes in my game that I realize I could become better at. It drives me to say, 'I'm going to work on those.'"
Still, Jenkins was unable to say if his participation in
Nashville Star
would ultimately be a good thing.
"I just want to weather the storm and see what kind of reaction comes from this and then I'll probably be able to answer that question later on, when I see the result and also see how audiences in the future react to me, whether it was a positive or good thing," he explained.
While being cast as a sixth-season Top 12 finalist caused Jenkins to cancel some summer shows with his band -- his calendar is currently clear, and he's hoping to recoup what could have been lost.
"As I was eliminated we got on the phone and started to recover as many shows as we possibly could. I'm just back in the saddle again with what was going on prior to being on the show," he explained. "We have a pretty full summer of great shows lined out, mostly within the Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming region. I'll be going into the studio doing a new album which will be my fourth album."

Light up your home this holiday season with festive Laser Pegs decorations.
The day after Thanksgiving is widely regarded as the unofficial day to start decorating for the holidays. Once the turkey leftovers have been secured in the fridge, the sweet potatoes have all been eaten, and your family has come out of its post-dinner food coma, the realization that the holidays are only a few weeks away starts to set in and our mind's automatically switch into decorating mode.
However, rather than run out on Black Friday to find the hottest deals on holiday decorations, why not use the fun, festive lights that you already own to create some bright holiday decorations in your home? Creating unique holiday figurations out of Laser Pegs not only helps your whole family get into the holiday spirit through decorating, but also is a completely unique way to dress up your home for the holidays in a fun, creative fashion.
Plus, with all of the different colors and building possibilities that Laser Pegs have, it makes them the perfect decoration for an holiday, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or any combination of other holidays and festive festivals!
To help you get started with the holiday spirit a little early this year, here are a few ideas for some festive light up decorations that you can create with your Laser Pegs:
1. Christmas Tree: One of the most well known images of the holiday season is the Christmas tree. Collect all of your different green Laser Pegs to come up with your ideal Christmas tree, and then choose a few of your favorite colors to add as bulbs, decorations or tinsel. You can even create your own Laser Pegs star to add as a delightful tree topper. One thing is for sure, this Christmas tree will outshine all of the others!
2. Snowflake: The great thing about snowflakes is that no two are alike in every single way. Therefore, create a snowflake that is completely unique to you by combining different colors and shapes with you Laser Pegs. You could even hang your finished snowflake in your window to light up the winter sky outside until the real snow starts to fall.
3. Candy Cane: One of the most delicious symbols of the holiday season is the candy cane. To create a light up version at home, simply grab a nice mix of your favorite color Laser Pegs. You could stick to the classic red striped candy cane as you often see in classic holiday tales, or even create a rainbow candy cane to really add some color to your decor. However, just make sure you don't eat this tasty light up treat, no matter how good it looks!
4. Light Up Menorah: Instead of choosing some classic candles to light up your menorah this year, create your own unique menorah with lights from Laser Pegs! You can use the classic blue that fits with the holiday decor, or add a combination of different colors that are completely unique to your creation!
If you create any specialty holiday decorations with your Laser Pegs, make sure to share a picture with us on our Laser Pegs Facebook or Twitter page! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Should I be concerned or not? (Weights)
* Im still shopping for a new 5th wheel. Im looking at the 2013 27 Arctic Fox. So I weighed my 2009 CC 4x4 Std bed Duramax today Placed four bags of wood pellets to simulate my hitch 160lb, placed four bags of wood pellets in the passenger seat to simulate passenger. Wife wasnt thrilled about being compared to bags of pellets. Filled up with fuel 45gal Transfer tank replacement tank.
Truck weighed 7600lbs GVWR is set at 9200 lbs
Front 4360 lbs Listed capacity 4860 lbs
Rear 3240 lbs Listed capacity 6084 lbs
GVWR of Truck is 9200lbs so that leaves 1600lbs for pin weight before I start going over.
The Arctic Foxs are heavier.
The posted dry weight of the trailer is 10120 lbs
The GVWR of the trailer is 13955 lbs (I will never approach this weight)
The listed dry pin weight is 2110 lbs
My tires are LT 265 /70R17E listed capacity to carry the 6084lbs
Bear in mind Im trying to figure out whats reasonable. If I were to purchase I would be over on the GVWR by 500lbs dry.
I figured the pin weight and it works out to be approximately 21% so If I added 1000 lbs that would be another 200lbs in pin weight exceeding the GVWR by 700lbs more or less. Nothing else would be over rating: not axles, tires, maximum towing etc only GVWR of the truck itself.
I would add air bags to level the truck if necessary. I understand that this does not effect the weights .I have 21,000 miles on the truck and am not planning on upgrading.
The dealer will allow the trailer to be hooked up and weighed prior to purchase to make sure weights are accurate and trailer pulls ok
We are not full timers and do not travel with water or waste in tanks, just short trips to local state parks etc. I currently pull a 2005 28 Holiday Rambler that is lighter and does not exceed any of the weight number ratings ..Im just looking to upgrade prior to retiring ..
I recognize there are a lot of perspectives on this ranging from the letter of the law to do whatever you want. I think I fall in the middle. So aside from allowing for braking distance, watching gauges and driving my normal 50-60 mph while towing what do I need to be concerned with or do I really need to be concerned.
I would appreciate all thoughts

Well, first off you are already screwed. You are using 40 lb bags of wood pellets to simulate weight. Now here's where you messed up: No matter how much your wife weighs, you put three (3) bags of pellets in the front passenger seat. Doesn't matter if her ass is the size of Idaho, you put three bags there and patiently explain to her what they represent. You can always toss the fourth bag in the rear floorboard to represent "luggage".
I don't do any 5th wheel towing but I do have the spec sheet from the GMC brochure that came with my truck ('07.5 NBS). It lists the max trailer weight for a 4x4 CC short bed Duramax 2500 at 13,600 lbs. Max payload in the truck is 3458 lbs.
My guess would be that you are going to be close enough for it to work safely unless you load way up on fluids and gear or if you divorce your wife and marry my sister-in-law.

Going over GVWR concerns me little - AXLE, wheel, and tire ratings should be concerning. If, as you suggest, you can load the trailer on and pin weight is the only thing that will push your GVWR over while all your OTHER weights are within legal ratings, than IMHO, you'll be fine.
Look at it this way - there are plenty of pickups out there being used grossly beyond their GVWR - and as long as your truck is licenced/plated for it, it's ENTIRELY LEGAL unless you exceed axle/tire/wheel ratings - this is where things get unsafe. Of course, you must also be able to demonstrate that the truck can safely maneuver and stop/start with those weights, but ~1000lb over GVWR isn't going to be a concern there.
So, you're fine in that regard.
I think what you need to be more concerned about is this:
You'll probably find that the trailer weighs in the range of 12000# when it leaves the factory. Remember, most RV manufacturers "dry weight" is the base model with NO options, and you'd be surprised (amazed, actually) at how many things in many RV's are considered "options" - right down to furniture in some units.
So, those two propane tanks, roof AC unit, batteries, groceries, cookware, camping gear, wheel blocks, beer...EVERYTHING adds to that weight. Very few RV's going down the road today are actually below their GVWR - many are probably over.
There's one thing I always tell people in this scenario - ALWAYS assume you're trailer will be at or slightly over it's GVWR when you're pulling it down the road - if you can't get all your safety related weights within limits based on this assumption, then you're truck is inadequate.

Best to work on WORSE case scenario and know your right than try to cut everything to the knife edge and be JUST ok.
You either need to look at a smaller trailer OR a bigger truck.

Everything sounds fine to me. Short trips/rarely towing no real need to add airbags. Just make sure you carry enough fuel to get where your going. Pulling those big campers can suck the tanks dry quick.

Very good answers posted that should give you a clue that you may want to keep shopping.
IMO...that dry pin weight of 2100 will easily creep up to 2500lbs or more after camper options, tanks, battery and all your gear inside the unit.
With that thought, could you be ok traveling 20-50 miles to your favorite state park, yep, but you will eventually want to stray further out, especially once you retire.
Now, I wouldn't want to drag this weight miles over the highway causing stress on the truck...something to consider.
Good Luck!

With a fiver, rear GAWR vs. actual loaded axle weight is the only real concern. You can generally license the truck for whatever GVWR you wish. My '03 has a very similar rear axle weight due to the custom RKI utility bed. And it is used almost exclusively for towing the fiver. My dry king pin weight is slightly less than the AF at 1900 lbs. The only limitation on rear GAWR is the tire capacity of 6084 lbs, so a tire upgrade is certainly an option if you want more margin.
I can offer several points that only you can answer. 1) loaded pin weight will likely be a higher percentage than the dry pin weight percentage. This is due to most of the storage being located so far forward. Rear kitchen floor plans are less affected than other floor plans. 2) very few owners of mid to high end fivers ever load the unit to full GVWR. We live and travel for months at a time with extra tools and sewing items and don't reach the fiver's GVWR. 3) many uninformed 3/4 ton owners are towing fivers with dry pin weights over 2100 lbs and they may be near or over the tire ratings. Doesn't make it right, but it happens. It is hard to find a fiver with a bedroom slide out that has a pin weight less than 2000 lbs. and the truck you have is just about the most popular tow vehicle for fiver owners.

I actually wouldn't do it. My old 5'er had an advertised pin weight of 1300 and it was darned near it. I got a new 5'er carefully selected to be about 1725 pin weight. I knew I could be maybe 200 lbs over 9200. Guess again the new 5'er pin weight was closer to 2300 lbs and I go to the scale and I'm at 9900 lbs. I didn't mind being a couple hundred over but 700 over really pissed me off to no end. I was under on the axles but use 245 tires . So first time I tow I decide to check how hot the tires are--- very, very hot. Long story short to get some over head you have to swap wheels and be at least at 265 tires. I also bet your going to be over me. Your choice but I don't like to bet against the house because I'm the kind of guy when I stretch things I usually loose.
Long story short it is always best to buy a 3500!!!!!!!

Just so you know, pin weight can be adjusted by the way you load the trailer. That's why most trailers have the water tank in the rear. If you add 1000lb to the trailer, the actual effect on the pin weight will depend on where you add the weight in relationship to the trailer axles.

Polls suggest the American people are fed up after two full-bore wars and the killing of an ambassador in Benghazi following our escapade in Libya. Yet, the Obama administration seems poised to launch another war in Syria.
"We can't do a third war in 12 years!"
This exasperated response was not from a lefty peace activist ready to do civil disobedience; it was from Colonel David Hunt on the Bill O'Reilly Show. Like many Americans, Hunt is not sure who let loose chemical weapons in a section of Damascus. He knows that canisters of chemical weapons can be delivered to a place in any number of ways from any number of sources. He says we need to ask, "Who benefits" from such an attack?
This is, of course, a very good question, since the Assad regime is currently winning the civil war in Syria and, thus, would not seem to have much of an incentive to use chemical weapons so blatantly. And, of course, a chemical attack is a perfect bloody shirt to provide anyone inclined to wave it to promote an attack, since President Obama made chemical weapons a "red line."
US bombing options
(Image by unknown) Permission Details DMCA
Hunt was joined on the O'Reilly Show by the usually bloodthirsty right-wing militarist Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters. He agreed with Hunt that an attack on Syria was a terrible idea. "In Syria now our enemies are killing each other," he said. "We should let them continue." Peters was referring to the Assad regime and the most powerful rebel elements linked with al Qaeda. Forces loyal to the United States and Israel are by far the weakest element in the rebel matrix.
What this means is the logic for a US military attack would be to bolster that losing, non al Qaeda element, and, we must presume, hope for the best as far as who might be able to take over once we prevail -- or, more likely, leave with egg all over our faces and with US power and respect diminished even more.
Over on MSNBC, war correspondent Richard Engel gave a report heavily burdened with caution and doubt. He suggested the US wants to "send a message" but not get involved in the civil war. But, he said, "Once you drop bombs on Syria you are involved in the war."
Joe Biden was sent out to work up a war fever with an impassioned speech citing the chemical weapon victims and assuring everyone that the monster Assad had to be "held accountable." It was a fantastic, bellicose bloody-shirt speech.
In the end, Bill O'Reilly -- a man who likes to tell his audience, "I'm a simple man" -- cut to the chase and told the two ironically un-warlike retired colonels, "There's got to be some moral authority in the world." He cited "American Exceptionism" as that moral authority. We're told an attack on Syria is planned for Thursday. This is Tuesday night. In two days, the US will likely engaged in another hot war in the Middle East.
I feel I've lived this movie too many times. I want to open my window and scream obscenities like Howard Beal in the film Network. I see the White House team of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Chuck Hagel, Susan Rice and Samantha Power, at best, as liberal fools tripping over their good intentions and, at worst, in cahoots with nefarious demands of the state of Israel.
As a nation -- or empire -- we're beyond declaring war in any legal sense. That's just too naïve to even consider. As in the past, US Law and International Law will be finessed. The only law that will apply to a military attack on Syria, whether or not the Obama White House wants to recognize it, is The Law of Unintended Consequences. That one we can count on.
I recall back in the days of Ronald Reagan when the US felt a need to retaliate against a state-sponsor-of-terrorism in the Middle East for a specific terrorist crime, it was often uncertain whether the source was Libya or Syria. So did the US do? It attacked Libya -- since it was clear an attack on Syria was a very serious, risky matter. An attack on Muammar Gaddafi was a much less risky, but still satisfying, act of vengeance. Since it really didn't matter if the right culprit was bombed -- just so someone was bombed.
Now we're planning to bomb Syria while the Middle East is in an unprecedented state of upheaval. We passed up the option of attacking the Egyptian military for willfully killing 1500 citizens, many of them teenagers. Instead, we insisted on keeping $1.5 billion in military aid in the pipeline -- so we would not lose our influence with the Egyptian military.
Everything we do seems to be ratcheting up a larger war in the Middle East. Going into Syria with cruise missiles, jet bombers and god-knows what else blazing can only incite further killing and violence. That Law of Unintended Consequences could go very badly for the US. Especially since we don't seem to have a clue what our intended consequences really are.

Spreading beef bans hit Indian farmers, traders - and lions
By Meenakshi Sharma and Rajendra Jadhav
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian farmer Nitin Tarode wants to sell his old bull to help pay for his sister's wedding after his income was hit by patchy rainfall.
But he has struggled to find a buyer who will pay a decent price because of a ban on slaughtering cows, bulls and bullocks in Maharashtra, the western state run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist party.
"Now I will have to take a loan for my sister's wedding," says Tarode, the oldest of five siblings and the only earning member of his family in Akola, nearly 600 km (370 miles) inland from Mumbai.
A renewed thrust by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to protect cows, worshipped by majority Hindus, has closed abattoirs in Maharashtra, making it hard for farmers to sell their animals, and restrictions are spreading to other states.
Even lions, tigers and leopards in Mumbai's national park are being fed chicken and mutton rather than their usual beef because the city's main abattoir has been shut for the past two weeks, said S.D. Saste, the park's assistant conservator.
Maharashtra, India's second most populous state, extended a ban on the slaughter of cows to bulls and bullocks this month and other BJP-led states such as Jharkhand and Haryana have also tightened restrictions on trading beef.
Critics say tougher anti-beef laws discriminate against Muslims, Christians and lower-caste Hindus who rely on the cheap meat for protein, and fear they could pave the way to a nationwide ban that would threaten thousands of jobs.

Balcony seating at the opera is by ticket only, and all the tickets are sold and all the ticketholders are in line to enter. But it turns out that the first person through the door is rather inebriated by the time the hall is open for seating and, instead of taking the properly assigned seat, chooses a chair at random (presumably the one with the lowest-seeming relative velocity to his or her person). The next people come in one at a time—and if their seat is available, they take it. But if someone is already sitting there, rather than disrupt things, they just pick some other random seat. Which raises the question, "what is the probability that the last opera lover ends up in his or her assigned seat?"

|not personally visited
In 1600 after the Battle of Sekigahara, Hosokawa Tadaoki was rewarded the lands of Buzen and Bungo. The ruling castle of the area was really at Nakatsu Castle, but Hosokawa found Kokura to be a much more convenient place from which to rule. It is also located at the vital point in transportation between Kyushu and Honshu. He started building Kokura Castle in 1602 and completed it in 1608.
Hosokawa's Son, Tadatoshi, was moved to Kumamoto in 1632. Ogasawara Tadazane replaced him and 9 generations of his descendents ruled for the next 230 years. The main keep burned down in a fire in 1837 and was not rebuilt. The castle itself was intentionally burned down and abandoned in 1866 when the Ogasawara fled Kokura during the second Battle of Shochuseito.
The reconstructed castle you see today is borogata style with decorative gables called kara hafu and irimoya hafu, but the original main keep was a very simple sotogata and had no such gables.

Visited 27 March 2015 (https://withinstrikingdistance.wordpress.com/2016/04/18/field-report-kokura-castle-kitakyushu-japan-27-march-2015/). I arrived after closing time so had to content myself with views from the outside, which - inaccurate reconstruction aside - weren't all that bad. Pencilling this in for another visit (hopefully with the museum and garden open next time), at which point I may reassess my initial 2-star rating.

I gave the castle 1 1/2 stars not because it disappointed me from the collection viewpoint or the state it was in; my bitter disappointment came from seeing its sad situation: a beautiful reminder if the past is now completely surrounded by tall, futuristic (sometimes ridiculous) buildings, the view from the top floor is sad and the state if the Japanese garden next to it made me want to cry. This is the ONLY castle where I didn't take scenery pictures at the top floor. That half star I allowed myself to offer was for the diorama on the 2nd floor (they say it's the largest if its kind in Japan and it has a 4 min. viewing) and the lovely tea serving at the garden, where they prepare the tea in front of you, but it's not as formal and nerve wrecking as an official tea ceremony.

My wife and I met and courted on the grounds of the Kokura Castle when we were both assigned to the US Army unit stationed on the former site of a Japanese military base neighboring on the castle grounds. She was a civilian from Hawaii and I was an enlisted man assigned to the base. We were married in the Army chapel in 1952, before the reconstruction of the castle. We enjoyed the warm evenings when we were off duty, and we lived off the base after our marriage.

Nothing to add to the comment of RaymondW, apart that i liked to stroll around in the streets of Kokura. There are alot of informationpanels on the streets with a map indicating where you are and the interesting spots surrounding the spot where you are. I arrived too early this morning and the infodesk at the station was still closed, but with the afore mentionned pannels you don't need any other map.

A little slow with writing a comment for Kokura Castle, but I went to this castle as part of my trip down to Kyushu in March earlier this year. Kokura Castle is around 10 minutes on foot from JR Kokura Station. The castle keep is a concrete reconstruction built in 1959. The original castle keep burnt down in a fire in 1837 and was never rebuilt. There is a lot of ishigaki left as well as the ruins of eight gates. Some of stone walls have been restored. There is a building that looks like a reconstructed sumi yagura (corner turret), but it is part of a temple complex now. Any remaining castle buildings were destroyed by the Ogasawara Clan after they lost the Second Battle of Choshuseito in 1866, setting the castle on fire before fleeing to Tagawa. Entry to the castle keep cost 350yen. This is a castle geared towards families as there are lots of hands-on stuff and videos for young kids to try out. There is also a nice diorama of the keep and surrounding castle town as well as a replica room from the Edo Period showing Ogasawara Tadazane meeting his high-ranking officers. For me, this is a solid 2.5 star site and worth a visit for any castle fan in Kitakyushu.

HSBC reserves the right to randomly review the supplier's policies, procedures or any other document related to adherence to this Code. In some cases, HSBC may require an online or on-site audit of a supplier's adherence to this Code.
HSBC is working with Sedex to ensure that the principles set out within this Code are applied and require all suppliers, when requested, to register with Sedex and complete the supplier appraisal questionnaire. If suppliers are assessed as medium or high risks, HSBC may audit the supplier using third party auditors and the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) methodology.
HSBC requires suppliers to sign this code, thereby acknowledging the requirements contained within. HSBC requires suppliers to agree to adhere to these requirements and to be able to demonstrate to HSBC how these requirements are being met.
HSBC operates a policy of transparency with suppliers and will work collectively with suppliers to ensure adherence to the Code and develop improvement programmes if required.

A friend and I were recently discussing how governments should come up with water policies that primarily affect agriculture, and it made me realize that the Manitoba government is simultaneously involved in formulating one probably good policy, is perpetrating one disastrously bad policy, and has the potential to develop one great policy right now that would solve crises, protect land and water, and be a great legacy for any government to leave.

1) The present proposed drainage regulations, which will stop most new wetland drainage and completely stop the net loss of wetlands and which will make routine drainage maintenance and management far easier for farmers.
2) The present moratorium on hog barn construction across Manitoba that has begun strangling the provincial hog industry to the point that the Brandon Maple Leaf slaughter plant is short 20,000 pigs per week, the company has cut its work force by 400 people and is running its second shift at half-speed, and which is hollowing-out Manitoba's most successful value-added agriculture sector.
3) Wetlands restoration as flood control. We obviously have a series of massive floods hitting southern Manitoba, ravaging farmland, wrecking rural communities and disrupting the lives of thousands of Manitobans – as well as creating great water quality problems in bodies like Lake Winnipeg. A wetlands restoration policy and program could return large acreages to what it should have always been doing: holding onto some of the water that comes down onto the Prairies in rain and snow and stopping that water rushing into ditches, streams and rivers and causing the problems that are at least partly due to excessive farmland drainage.
Before I say anything more detailed about those three areas, let me lay out my summary of how I think policy should be formulated:
1) Government develops broad policy goals that it clearly states;
2) The government turns to people actually living and operate in the sectors most likely to be affected and asks them how to best achieve those goals;
3) Government then formulates legislation and regulations based on an informed understanding of the real-world implications of what it wants to achieve;
4) Government enforces regulations rigorously but fairly, so those who comply don't feel they're being fools when others get away with ignoring them;
5) Government avoids playing destructive, divide-and-conquer politics with policies that will affect crucial sectors of society and the economy.
All of this is pretty obvious stuff, and what most citizens probably think government does when it is formulating policy. Unfortunately, sometimes this doesn't seem to be the case. Often government politicians hatch policy ideas that seem like good ideas to them at the time, for whatever mix of reasons, then they push a handful of bureaucrats to come up with legislation and then ram it through the legislation process.
In a pleasant recent development, the Manitoba government proposed changes to provincial drainage policies that so far seem to have done everything right. The government came up with notions that most people agree with, such as stopping the net loss of wetlands through drainage, and has proposed an approach that hopefully won't cause unnecessary grief to farmers and others. This approach looks likely to produce good regulations because it involved the active participation of groups like Keystone Agricultural Producers, which represents Manitoba's farmers. KAP was involved in the development of the new approach and managed to get the government to commit to making routine drainage maintenance and management easier than it presently is, while supporting the government's goal of preventing the continual loss of wetlands. Even with wetland preservation, the regulations will probably have necessary wiggle room, allowing farmers and others who need to clear some wetlands to do so, but only if they replace the wetlands they are eliminating with more new wetlands somewhere else.
So here's some policy that will probably get developed in a cooperative manner and actually come into force with minimal negative and destructive politics. Most farmers I know support environmental protection of many sorts, but become outraged when policies prevent them from doing the practical, reasonable actions required to function as a farmer in the real world. This policy seems designed to work.
The provincial hog barn moratorium is the polar opposite, having disastrous results now and for years to come. Hog and pork production is Manitoba's most important value-added agricultural sector and Manitoba's most important manufacturing sector. Yet the Manitoba government has cooked up in the last decade ugly, destructive and unnecessary legislation and regulations that claim to be designed to protect the province's water quality, including that of Lake Winnipeg, by stopping farmers building new hog barns. This even applies to areas in which local soils are phosphorus deficient and presently import synthetic fertilizer that could be replaced by hog manure. And it applies even though the province has sensibly imposed phosphorus-based manure regulations that prevent farmers from applying more phosphorus in manure than crops can remove. With phosphorus and manure applications in place to stop the over-application of manure to farmland, what is the possible justification for the moratorium?
I obviously don't know why the provincial government came up with these pieces of moratorium legislation. I assume it's a combination of factors, some based on ignorance of the real economic impact of its legislation, some driven by a dislike of large-scale industrial agriculture, and some based on politically partisan calculations in which the hog industry is seen as an easy target to please some of the New Democratic Party's base. That's not a basis for good legislation.
With Maple Leaf in Brandon now having shed 400 jobs and running its second shift at half-speed, one would like to believe the government would wake up to the realities of bad policy, relax from the worst elements of its approach and end the effective moratorium. But the government might have trouble backing away from policies it has championed unless the public begins realizing the damage being done to Manitoba's economy. That hasn't really begun happening.
So we've got one good-seeming proposed policy, one disastrously bad one, and now the potential for a tremendously good one.
The potential is with flood prevention and wetlands restoration, which are huge concerns right now. Everyone agrees that the province needs to do what it can to avoid future floods, after living through two Assiniboine River floods and one Red River flood in the last four years. And there is consensus that excess drainage of farmland and the disappearance of wetlands is a significant contributor to the peak flow levels that cause floods.
And many water experts think the best approach to slowing the flow of water into ditches, streams, rivers and lakes is to reverse the trend of wetland drainage and get into wetland restoration. Many water retention ideas are being promoted today, by very bright, reasonable people, including rebuilding wetlands and encouraging farmers to store water in dugouts, and tile drainage has great potential to both get water off the farmland surface while stopping it pouring into waterways. Wetland restoration is something that should bring everyone together and is something the government could do on a large scale in a way that won't set farmers against downstream interests.
That would require lots of money to buy farmland that should be returned to being wetlands. If farmers are paid for marginal, flood-prone and saturation-prone land, that land can be acquired and converted. Where would the money come from? That's where I think the provincial government should be willing to reconsider some of its present obsessions and adapt to present conditions. Right now the government is pushing hard to build two multi-billion dollar northern dams to provide hydro power. The economic justification for these dams looked good before the advent of cheap natural gas in the United States from fracking, but now the justification is dodgy at best, as independent reviews have found, such as the recent one by the Public Utilities Board.
So why not cancel the second, more-than $10 billion dam project and put a chunk of that into wetland restoration? Even a small chunk of that seems a better use of taxpayer dollars than an unnecessary mega-dam. A couple of billion dollars would buy a lot of new wetlands and would have the potential to substantially reduce the likelihood and severity of floods. It would provide much-needed habitat for migratory birds, would clean water and protect farmers, small towns, cities and cottagers downstream. It would prevent much of the economic destruction and subsequent compensation we're stuck with now.
There's a chance for the Manitoba government to formulate good policy, avoid bad policy, and move away from an old commitment that perhaps doesn't make sense any longer. Will it embrace the opportunity?

Jesus Christ rose once from the dead, Newt Gingrich has proved that Jesus is no match for a man who can rise at least three times from the dead. Jesus Christ preached concern for poor people, Newt preaches concern for Newt Gingrich and if supporting higher taxes on the wealthy will assure him of a nomination, then Newt is a devout believer in such ideas. He is a man for all seasons and his mind will accept any idea or philosophy that winds up getting him elected.
A week ago, Newt was ten points behind the Mitt man, but once ballots were counted in South Carolina he won by 40% to 27% over his nearest rival. The boys of January are now off to the sunny clime of Florida and who knows what will happen.
There is scant doubt Mitt Romney will continue the quest for office, he has been pursuing this dream for over ten years and we can expect his candidacy in 2016. Mitt never realized to waffle is to be burnt to a crisp by those who vote. He never took a risk and never provided evidence that he believed in SOMETHING.

Acts 13:1-3 Devotional
Bobby Bruno
3/22/2014 / Devotionals
"In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off."
Acts 13:13 NIV
When our devotional talked about the present church making decisions based on the whims and desires of just one man, here is what I have to say. I currently go to a new church because the old one decided that they wanted to reach the youth of our area. This meant that a few changes had to be made. One was that I was kicked off the drum set simply because the church wanted a more youthful worship band, which left my gifting and talent nowhere to play. This new youthful worship band now plays so loud that you can't really understand anything they are doing musically or anything they are saying vocally. The head Pastor of this church wants it this way and will not change it even after receiving many, many complaints about the "noise" the band now produces. In the new church I now go to, and will be playing drums at soon, they actually measure the decibel level in the room so the music doesn't get too loud to understand or to hurt people's ears.
The church I went to before the one above was a church where God gave the church, through the selling of jewelry, cars, and vacation homes, etc, by the congregation, 4.5 million dollars to build a new sanctuary. The leaders decided that this was not enough money so they went and took out a loan for another 5 million dollars so they could get the best sound system, the best chairs, and the best stage lighting because they wanted to put on Christian shows at their church. Three major giving projects later many people left that church because they had already given enough. Unfortunately, because of the debt overload, this church of over 2,000 members went under.
Where was the Holy Spirit in all of this? Obviously, nowhere to be found in any of these decisions made in these two churches because men decided what God had done for them was not enough. In both of these churches worship was the most important which is okay, but it shouldn't be that way for a church to be balanced. I say all of this to ask what would have happened if the disciples that day the Spirit spoke decided that they needed to have a building program or that they needed to make sure Saul and Barnabas were so worshipped up that they would have glowed as did Moses' face on Mount Sinai? What if Saul had decided that he had to have had enough money to feed himself and Barnabas for at least the first month which would have delayed his entrance into the work of the Spirit? What if the disciples hadn't laid hands on the two until they had confessed every known sin they had committed since their last confession? Would the church of Christ grown as quickly as it did in the first century if man had decided to make all of the decisions for the church instead of letting the Holy Spirit lead? The decisions of man are destroying the church one decision at a time. As I stated above, the second church had a membership of over 2,000 families. Their exclusion of the Spirit's leading led to the death of that church. It's time to let the Spirit back into the church again before He decides that, since we feel we don't need Him, why should He stay with us.

Carmel's Forest Theater shuttered for structural, wiring issues
No timeline for when landmark venue will reopen but the show must go on
CARMEL, Calif. - The century-old Forrest Theatre in Carmel won't be hosting any thespians this month, and possibly not even this summer.
City officials shuttered the landmark theater Wednesday because of decades-old wiring and structural issues, leaving several theater companies scrambling to find new venues to perform.
Stephen Moorer, director of Pacific Repertory Theatre School, said the timing of the closure couldn't be worse with the summer season approaching.
The theater school is now working around the clock to find a new home for its dramatic arts classes and summer camps. Their current production of "Shrek" has had to be moved to the Golden Bough Theater, which has far fewer seats than the Forest.
"it's going to be sad - I mean this is the first time since I was a kid I won't spend my summer at the Forest Theatre," said Moorer.
The theater company has been working out of the Forest Theater for more than 30 years, he said. Still, he's glad the wiring and structural problems were detected before someone got hurt.
There's currently no timeline for when the building will be reopened.
The Pacific Repertory Theater Company's production of "Shrek the Musical" will still go on as scheduled, however, for a seven-week period starting in August. Instead of the Forest, it will be performed at the Golden Bough. More information available here.

Ian Tyson
After Ian & Sylvia's breakup, Tyson recorded Ol' Eon. He temporarily retired from recording in 1979 to work his ranch, but returned with Old Corrals and Sagebrush in 1983. In 1984, he toured with Ricky Skaggs and also released an eponymous album. Tyson released a third album, Cowboyography, two years later, and in 1991 he released another popular Canadian album, And Stood There Amazed, which contained the hits "Springtime in Alberta" and "Black Nights." Subsequent releases include 1994's Eighteen Inches of Rain, 1996's All the Good 'Uns, and 1999's Lost Herd. Tyson released Live at Longview in 2002, followed by Songs from the Gravel Road in 2005. Straining to sing over an excessively loud and bass-heavy soundboard mix at an Ontario country music festival in 2006 and exposure to a virus in 2007 resulted in irreversible scarring to Tyson's vocal cords, giving his performing voice a self-described gravelly quality and similarity to Mark Knopfler's, as fully displayed on Tyson's From Yellowhead to Yellowstone and Other Love Stories album, released by Stony Plain in 2008. ~ Sandra Brennan & Michael McCall

Swizz Beatz Appointed Head of Lotus Creative Design
In a surprising turn, Swizz Beatz has been announced as the new head of Lotus' Creative Design department.
Swizz, who is also currently Creative Director of Reebok, has received the official title of Vice President of Creative Design and Global Marketing for British automobile company Lotus.
"The best thing to do is for things to happen organically, for things to happen naturally, for people to have a natural connection," Swizz explained in a video, set to the tune of 'It's Me Snitches,' on Lotus's website. "I feel like the key is to infiltrate the market in a cool way."
While we're not sure exactly what predicated Swizz's reputation for design (his aspiring art career?), apparently he's a pretty serious car collector, owning a Ferrari Enzo and Spyker C8, amongst other cars in his stable, and was tapped to design a new model for Aston Martin in 2010.
Lotus has issued a press release explaining their rationale for Swizz' appointment via three bullet points:
"1. Like Group Lotus , he means business: He's a risk taker with considerable credentials including music producer, rapper, designer AND painter.
2. Like our cars, he's multi-award winning: This year he shared a Grammy Award with Jay-Z.
3. Like Group Lotus he keeps good company: This man regularly works with the likes of Bono, Kanye West, Beyonce and Alicia Keys."

I have a college degree. I earned mine when you had to state what degree you hoped to earn and your adviser told you what courses to take. As much as possible you had to take courses to obtain your degree. My aim was to earn a degree in the sciences. That meant no playing around taking courses of no value in the real world.
I earned a bachelor of science in biology with minors in military science and chemistry and near-minors in physics and English. During my working years I made a living by using skills I learned in those no-nonsense areas.
I feel our education system should go back to the basics and eliminate fluff nonsense. Everyone doesn't have what it takes to make it through real schools of knowledge where much effort is required to earn a degree.
