Thx for the info, but its basically what we already knew. People hardly call any more (on average). The S3 and iPhone are basically the same and are made to perform the same tasks. I personally may hate Samsuck and everything they make, but they offer another choice for people as well as keeping competition strong for Apple.
Thats just in America. DO the survey worldwide and it'll be a different story.
Out of everyone I know they either started on Android or moved from iPhone to Android. I'm the only one still using an iPhone coz I cant afford a S3/S4 yet. As soon as I can I will also be going to Android.
Ios is tailor made for just one phone. The iphone. Whereas each version of android runs on hundreds of type of devices. Thats how. Thats why there are less crashes, less 'force closes' and improved overall stability. The difference between mass produced one and custom fit clothing is the difference between the two OSes..
He talks about better integration. Not functionality.
Ive barely seen anyone owning an iphone because its more affordable than the others..
Infact most of the android device users that i know (not s3 or other top offerings by phone manufacturers) own a droid because they couldnt afford the apple.
Sell your iphone. M sure it'll go for a lot more than the price of a second hand s3. Who knows, u might be able to buy 2 s3's given their resale value as compared to iphone's.

In John Phillips, the Chargers signed a tight end whose versatility and toughness grabbed them.
"The things he can do, run blocking, doing things in the passing game, pass protection, you can do a lot of things with him,'' Mike McCoy told the Dallas Morning News, which is tracking the former Cowboy. "His toughness. You love his toughness."
That's becoming a theme with the new regime -- moves toward versatility and toughness.
Replacing Antoine Cason with Derek Cox made the Chargers more physical at cornerback. Cox likes to press receivers. He loses some duels, but he's aggressive, as I wrote in the coaches film breakdown. He's also comfortable playing off receivers.
King Dunlap isn't a mauler, but he's athletic enough to fill in at both offensive tackle spots. Chad Rinehard is at home at left or right guard, and can dabble at tackle.
Running back Danny Woodhead does many things well. He also has the crazy gene, slamming his 5-foot-7 1/2 body into the maw of defenses.
McCoy showed himself a versatile planner with the Broncos. I'd guess that if he plays chess, the knight is his favorite piece.
As for tough guys, every football coach wants those.

Ford Escape Models and Escape History
Entering the marketplace in 2001, the Ford Escape provided an important product for what would become a growing compact sport utility/crossover vehicle category. While appearing to be a full truck-based sport utility vehicle, the Ford Escape was actually constructed with the acknowledgement that many buyers do not need full off-roading capability. A 127-horsepower 2-liter Zetec four-cylinder engine was the only engine choice at launch of the Ford Escape offered with a two-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain. In 2003, a 3-liter Duratec V-6 powerplant option was extended to the Ford Escape.
Demonstrating high fuel economy, a gasoline/electric hybrid version of the Ford Escape was marketed starting in the 2005 model year. The base engine for the Ford Escape was enlarged to 2.3 liters in 2005. Restyled in 2008, the Ford Escape adopted a front-end appearance similar to the larger Explorer and Expedition sport utility vehicles.
A more powerful V-6 was added to the Ford Escape in 2009 and an improved Escape Hybrid was first released providing city fuel economy up to 34 mpg. Foregoing its sport utility vehicle look for the 2013 model year, a completely new Ford Escape debuted a more crossover physique. Powered by a base four-cylinder or a pair of option turbocharged EcoBoost engines, the 2013 Ford Escape was fitted with a variety of eye-catching features such as eco-friendly seat fabrics and an available hands-free liftgate. The V-6 engine and Hybrid version of the Ford Escape were discontinued for 2013.

Provo • The Cougars are headed to the Big House.
The University of Michigan and BYU announced Tuesday that the Wolverines will host the Cougars in a college football game at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sept. 26, 2015.
Michigan Stadium is known as the "Big House" because it seats 109,901 for football and is one of the most hallowed college football facilities in the country.
Although it does not appear Michigan has agreed to return the trip to Provo, BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said in a school news release that he hopes to develop a long-term relationship with the Big Ten school.
"It's a great opportunity to play an outstanding football team in one of the legendary football stadiums in the country," Holmoe said. "Michigan had an opening in its 2015 schedule and the circumstance was right for BYU."
The Cougars have played Michigan just once in football, in the 1984 Holiday Bowl.
BYU won that game 24-17 and was named college football's national champion by both major polls at the time.

Let's not forget that there is excellent white wine from the Rhone region, so this 2007 Adelaida Viognier from Paso Robles, California, qualifies for this month's focus. The egomaniacal monkeyface label is off-putting, but once past that, pulling the cork yields a strong whiff of newly mown grass. A closer sniff contains hints of clove. On the palate are green bell peppers and smoke. Yes, oak and alcohol (14.7) are present but are part of the whole and not distractions. This was superb as an aperitif and then with quiche and Swiss chard. I don't have a bottle of Condrieu for contrast tasting, but this is the finest New World Viognier I have tasted to date.
I first tasted this wine in a geology class after ingesting a few scrapings from a sample of the calcareous limestone soil the vines grow in. "Minerality" is an oft-misused term in WTNs, but in this case I could taste the connection. The Adelaida tasting bar host was convinced that it was the calcareous soil that made the wine so great, but there are similar soils on the other side of US Highway 101. However, Glenrose and other westside Paso Robles vineyards are measurably cooler than the east side of the district, and that, I think, makes the difference. And then there is the TLC of Terry Culton, winemaker. $25 and worth every penny.

After a day of cleaning, hangin' with the boys...it was just the obvious thing to do. Not easy to cut out sugar and snacking without replacing it with something else...well, that is how I feel so far :) As the days pass, and hopefully things will get a little easier, I will get back to that break.

The entire off-season, LSU coach Les Miles continued to stress one thing: The Tigers were going to air it out this year.
It was a promise that excited LSU fans who had spent the past three seasons watching an offense rank in the bottom 25 in the nation in passing and struggle to reach 200 yards through the air each week.
It was also a pledge the Tigers failed to fulfill through the first eight weeks of the season, as they were on pace for statistically the second-worst passing year in Miles' tenure behind 2010's dreadful passing production.
But Saturday, against what was easily LSU's stiffest challenge in top-ranked Alabama, the offense came to life in a way Tiger Stadium hadn't seen in quite some time. Junior quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who, entering the season was lauded as the savior of the struggling Tiger offense, finally lived up to his "Mett-siah" moniker by completing 24 of his 35 pass attempts and racking up 298 yards through the air against a defense that had surrendered just 145.9 passing yards per game.
He added a 14-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry in the fourth quarter — just the fourth score the Tide defense had allowed through the air this season — to cap off a performance Mettenberger knew they were capable of all season.
"That's stuff that offensively, we've seen since spring," Mettenberger said. "It's just taken awhile for us to get to that level, I guess. When it came down to it, we just came out there and executed the best we have all year. All 11 guys more times than not were doing the right thing every time. That's something that we should have had all year."
Before the Alabama game, Mettenberger had thrown for 200 yards just twice this season and was coming off his lowest output of the year, a 97-yard performance against Texas A&M.
With two weeks to soak in the criticism from all around, Mettenberger came just two yards shy of being LSU's first 300-yard passer since Matt Flynn threw for 353 on Nov. 3, 2007, ironically against the Tide.
"I think fans and media needed that type of game from me to have confidence in me," Mettenberger said. "I'm always going to be confident in my ability. I've always known that I can play this game, and it's just good to have that game under my belt though, for sure. A performance like that is great, but it's not going to mean anything if I go out against Mississippi State and lay an egg. Fans and media are going to be breathing down my neck again."
Mettenberger has been the center of media attention for quite some time now, from his dismissal at Georgia three years ago to his savior status in Baton Rouge three months ago.
But when the lights were the brightest, and all eyes were on him for the right reasons, Mettenberger was quick to pass the credit to others, whether it be the young weapons around him or the big men in front of him.
"It's amazing when everybody does the right job," Mettenberger said. "You really get a rhythm going, and it's contagious. Everybody on the offense starts feeling it. And when things start clicking and rolling, it's tough to stop any offense. I think we got the breaks we needed and got a good rhythm."
All the pieces seemed to come together in the right way for the Tigers on Saturday. The offensive line finally found the right combination, using the same five starters the past three games. And the wide receivers limited the number of dropped passes in the game — a problem that plagued them at the start of the season.
"There were still a few dropped balls, myself included," Landry said. "They were mistakes that weren't overwhelming, and for the most part when we got opportunities, we took advantage of them. It's just us stepping up and making plays when we need to with the opportunities that we have."
LSU's next challenge isn't quite the stiff Alabama squad it faced a week ago, but Mississippi State is certainly no pushover.
The Bulldogs rank No. 8 in the conference, giving up 209.7 pass yards per game, slightly above the 190.6 yards per game LSU produces.
The Tigers are looking to carry Saturday's performance over not only to this weekend, but for the rest of the season and into the future. Three of the five starting offensive linemen are underclassmen, and both of LSU's top two receivers this season are sophomores, building a strong foundation for what Miles hopes is a bright future.
"I think we're youthful, I think we're talented, I think we're coming, and I think we'll get better and better," Miles said. "I like our quarterback's play, I like our receivers' play. Offensively, there's a great long-term view."

Whacked Out, Pot-Smoking, Extreme-Sports Athletes
(Saturday Feb 14, 2010) If you ever get nostalgic for the old days of snowboarding, when it was thought of as a passing fad for neer-do-wells, I suggest you come to the Olympic Games. The stereotypes and preconceptions are alive and well … among the media anyway.
There was a press conference recently where a reporter felt compelled to ask Lago whether snowboarding is a legitimate sport. This is here at our fourth Olympic Winter Games. Seriously, what rocks did these people crawl out from under? Then there's a story here about the Olympic "fringe" sport of snowboarding from Minnesota of all places. Minnesota—you know us! This is the best quote: "White's image goes against what many snowboard nonfollowers tend to think about those who compete in the sport, said Bob Dorfman, of San Francisco advertising agency Baker Street Partners. "He seems to be wholesome and doesn't seem to be a whacked out, pot-smoking, extreme-sports athlete … " Really? That's what the "snowboard nonfollowers" think of us? If they're not talking about snowboarding in general, they are talking about Shaun White specifically. His hair—it's a red mane, it flows, it's shocking. The topic of his nicknames—the animal, The Flying Tomato (so 2006), and Red Zeppelin. Potential trick names for the Double McTwist 12 with Whitesnake, Tomahawk, and double eagle frequently referenced. We figure this is a smoke and mirrors tactic so everyone can continue to report on snowboarding at the Olympics without having a clue as to what is going on—real quote from a New York reporter—"My usual beat is football, but I'm covering snowboarding." Did he really just say that? The rain yesterday was fairly oppressive, most of the riders laid low. The pipe team moved out of the Olympic Village and into a US Snowboard pipe team house closer to Cypress—Shaun has his own place with one of his sponsors, and Hannah is staying with her family. We did a little nightlife research last night hitting up a time capsule party hosted by legendary snowboard photographer Trevor Graves and Nike at The Boardroom, where we ran into the Canadian snowboard scene. The party was just outside of downtown and there was no sign of any Olympic chaos. A short taxi ride later back into downtown, we ran into the entire world, and confirmed that yes, the bars do stay open until 3:00 a.m. in Vancouver, and people are partying their faces off in the streets … even if it is pouring rain.We're headed up to pipe and boardercross practice today, it's sunny! Real talk tonight about the conditions at Cypress. Follow us on twitter.com/twsnow

As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis to stand trial over plot
Listen to As I Lay Dying on iHeartRadio
The lead singer of the heavy-metal band As I Lay Dying will stand trial on charges he tried to have his estranged wife killed.
Timothy Lambesis made a court appearance in the San Diego area today, where a judge decided there is enough evidence to try Lambesis on solicitation to commit murder charges.
The 32-year-old was arrested back in May after he allegedly asked an undercover detective to kill his wife, Meggan.
Prosecutors say Lambesis gave the phony hitman $1,000, photos of his wife, her address and a code for the residence's security gate.

The gum shield is the most important piece of equipment a rugby player should own.
The gum shield not only protects your teeth and gums, it can reduce damage around the jaw and your chances of getting concussed.
As every mouth is different, so every gum shield should be moulded to fit perfectly around the top half of a player's mouth.
The best way of doing this is to go and see your dentist, who will make sure the shield is right for your mouth.
The other type of gum shield is the "boil in the bag" type which is moulded using hot water.
Put the warm shield in your mouth and suck on it for roughly three minutes until it has moulded to the shape of your upper teeth.

Admission Requirements
As an applicant for admission, you are expected to graduate from an accredited high school with a college preparatory curriculum while showing evidence of ability to complete the University's requirements for graduation.
The following pattern of coursework is recommended for admission to Gonzaga:
4 years
3-4 years (including algebra I, geometry, algebra II / trigonometry)
3 years
2-3 years of the same language; world languages preferred, American Sign Language accepted
3-4 years (natural or physical laboratory science)
Course rigor is a key component in determining admissibility and merit awards. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves with a curriculum they can manage, including AP, IB, and honors courses (if offered by high school).
Gonzaga's Office of Admission reviews each application thoroughly. Although we have no set minimum GPA/test score requirements, please consider the following guidelines. An admission interview is highly encouraged if a student has:
- An unweighted GPA at or below 3.2
- A "new SAT" combined score for Evidence Based Reading and Writing and Math at or below 1150
- An "old SAT" combined score for Critical Reading and Math at or below 1070
- An ACT composite score at or below 23
Interviews may be done in person as part of a campus visit, on the phone, or via video chat with an Admission Counselor.
The Office of Admission carefully considers the following items as part of the application to Gonzaga University:
- Curriculum and school
- Grade point average and grade trends
- SAT or ACT scores
- College essay
- Activities and honors
- Character
NURSING & ENGINEERING "Requirements"
Gonzaga's Nursing and Engineering programs that are considered "direct entry" programs, meaning that a student must declare the major on the application to be considered for that program.
NURSING: Gonzaga's Nursing Program accepts first-year applications only. Applicants must choose "Nursing" on their application to be considered. Admission to nursing is competitive and we recommend applying Early Action (Nov 15th deadline). The Admission Committee will review curriculum carefully and likes to see math and science in the senior year of high school. An understanding of the nursing profession is helpful.
Students are not permitted to change their major to nursing after enrolling at the University. The Nursing Program is a four-year program. If a student has received college credit or earned an AA degree through the Running Start program, credits will likely transfer, but the program remains an 8 – 9 semester degree program. Enrolling with college credits may provide students with the opportunity to add a minor or study abroad, but will not allow for early entry into nursing courses.
ENGINEERING: The School of Engineering and Applied Science has competitive, direct admission for engineering programs. This includes civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, engineering management as well as students who are undecided but desire a major in an engineering discipline. Please note that direct admission does not apply to the computer science program. The Admission Committee prefers students who are college calculus ready and have a strong high school science curriculum.
SAT and ACT Policy
Gonzaga University would like students to provide all results from every administration of the SAT and/or ACT taken. Gonzaga will combine students' best individual section scores from separate exams. The University also uses the scores as a way to communicate early about specific programs of interest, scholarship opportunities, and to give admission guidance.
We will accept all sections of the SAT as it is provided, but will not universally use the new Written portion until further studies are done to examine the success of under-represented college-bound groups. However, our office will use the Written score in admission cases where more information specific to writing ability would be helpful in decision making.
We will also not require the Written Section of the ACT until further testing is done.
Learn about how Gonzaga is integrating the New SAT, which was administered in Spring 2016.The incoming freshman class had an average ACT composite score of 27 and an SAT (CR + M) score of 1200 on the old test.
Home-School Policy
Home-schooled students represent a unique and important population in Gonzaga University's applicant pool. Students and families choose home-schooling for a variety of reasons and implement a variety of instructional methods. Therefore, an application from a home-schooled student receives highly individualized attention.
As a home-schooled student we ask that you answer all home-school questions on the Common Application School Report.
The Admission Committee will consider all submitted materials and encourages applicants to arrange an admission interview, if possible. Please contact the Office of Admission with questions.

Get your travel planner out for flight twenty-five over the Bible from 30,000 Feet, as we soar over the book of Esther. The flight will be divided into two highly important sections: the threat to the Jews (chapters 1-4), in which we will see Haman's attempt to completely eradicate the Jewish people from Persia, and the triumph of the Jews (chapters 5-10), where we will see a young girl's godly strength and fight to save her people. This flight will show us a whole new set of villains, heroes, and ultimately the ever abounding faithfulness of God towards those who follow Him. The key chapters to review are Esther 1-10.
DESTINATION: Esther 1-10
The Book of Esther is the last of the Historical Books of the Old Testament. Chronologically, the events of this story fall between Ezra chapters 6 and 7, after the return of Zerubbabel and before the return of Ezra to Jerusalem. In this short book we see clearly God's providence and faithfulness in dealing with His people Israel, though the name of God is not mentioned once.
The return of the Jews from captivity begins under Cyrus
Darius 1 reigns in Persia
Ahasuerus reigns in Persia during the time of Esther
Artaxerxes Longimanus reigns in Persia
Ezra leads a group of returnees back from captivity
The purpose of the Book of Esther is the recording of the institution of the Feast of Purim and the obligation of its perpetual observation. The Book of Esther was read at the Feast of Purim to commemorate the great deliverance of the Jewish nation brought about by God through Esther.
At the center of this story is the ongoing divergence between the Jews and the Amalakites, which was recorded to have begun in the Book of Exodus. Haman's goal is the final effort recorded in the Old Testament period of the complete eradication of the Jews. His plans eventually end up with his own demise, and the elevation of his enemy Mordecai to his own position, as well as the salvation of the Jews.
The book of Esther reads much like a fairy tale. The Maiden is the fairest of them all and becomes the queen of the kingdom of Persia. The Villain Haman launches his attack to destroy the Jews, but his plot is thwarted by the Hero Mordecai and his beautiful and brave cousin-daughter, Esther who risks her life to save her people.
The Book of Esther can be divided into two parts:
The threat to the Jews (Chapter 1- 4)
The Triumph of the Jews (Chapter 5-10)
Citadel of Shushan - The kings of Persia had more than one royal palace and more than one royal city. The events in Esther take place in Shushan (Susa), which is located in present-day southwestern Iran.
Susa (uim) - Ancient capital of Elam, favorite residence of the Persian king Darius I the Great. Alternate name for Shushan.
The King's Gate - The gate of a city was the main area of commerce, and the entrance was available for anyone to sit and dialogue. Other gates led to the entrance of the royal courtyard. The palace area had several outer courts with various levels of access. The King's gate was likely the closest a citizen could get to the king.
127 Provinces of the Kingdom of Persia - A description of the size and complexity of the Persian kingdom including multiple languages and scripts (3:12). Each province acted on its own to control and service the needs of the people.
Ahasuerus - Persian king, identical with Xerxes (486-465 B.C.) and husband of Esther. He signed the decree written by Haman allowing him to destroy all the Jews within the Empire.
Bigthana & Teresh - Two eunuchs who were doorkeepers for the King. They were angry with King Ahasuerus, and Mordecai overheard their plot to overthrow him. Through Esther, the message was brought to the king and both men were executed. Mordecai is later rewarded for his heroic deed.
Esther - The main character in the book named for her. She was a
Jewish orphan adopted by Mordecai, her cousin. Also known as Hadassah, which means "myrtle." Her Persian name, Esther, means "star." She may have been named after the goddess Ishtar, or she could have been named for her glowing beauty.
Haddassah - Esther's Hebrew name.
Haman - He was the son of Hammedatha and was the chief minister of King Ahasuerus. He was known as Haman the Agagite, a descendant of Agag, king of the Amalekites. On account of his attempt to exterminate the Jews in the kingdom of Ahasuerus, he is frequently called "the persecutor of the Jews." His crimes against the Jews and his downfall
are remembered during the Jewish Feast of Purim.
Hathach - One of the king's eunuchs who was assigned to attend to Esther. He was used as a messenger between Esther inside the palace and Mordecai on the outside (chapter 4).
Mordecai - Son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite. When his uncle and aunt died, he raised Esther, his cousin, as his own daughter. They were Jewish exiles who continued to live in Persia. Mordecai was probably some type of lower official in the king's royal palace.
Queen Vashti - First queen of King Ahasuerus. When she refused to appear before the king and his court, she was deposed from her royal office.
Seven Chamberlains - They were ordered to present Queen Vashti with her crown and royal garments to all the people. They were:
|1. Mehuman
|5. Abagtha
|2. Biztha
|6. Zethar
|3. Harbona
|7. Carcas
|4. Bigtha
|1. Carshena
|5. Meres
|2. Shethar
|6. Marsena
|3. Admatha
|7. Memucan
|4. Tarshish

|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| The Food and Drug Administration should simply approve without further delay over-the-counter (OTC) sale of emergency contraception - with no prescriptions required for any age group. This obviates the need for any new rulemaking. The two advisory FDA committees that exhaustively reviewed data in December 2003 found that emergency contraception was safe and effective and consequently recommended OTC approval.
More than 70 professional medical and public health associations including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Adolescent Medicine have endorsed EC access for women of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged its members to "help ensure that all adolescents have knowledge of and access to contraception, including barrier methods and EC supplies.
When the age restriction was suggested at the December Advisory Committee meetings, the FDA staff noted then that it has been the policy of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Drug Products to make no distinction between post-pubescent adolescents and adult women insofar as contraceptive use is concerned. The Advisory Committee members then rejected the age restriction proposal.
The apparent move by the agency to restrict access to young women, 16 years of age and younger, therefore flies in the face of the recommendations of the majority of respected medical professional associations and the government's own stated policy.

There are few things that smell as good as fresh coffee in the morning, and Michael Gavina is one of the few people who get to smell it all day long. Gavina is a fourth-generation coffee maker, a licensed Q grader (professional coffee taster) and the purchasing manager for F. Gavina & Sons Inc. in Vernon.
More than 100 years ago, Francisco Gavina and his family left Spain seeking a better life in Cuba as coffee farmers. Decades later, they fled Castro's regime to resettle in Los Angeles in 1967. Coming from a solid past in coffee production, they set up business doing what they knew best and now have one of the most modern and technologically advanced roasting and packing plants in the world. F. Gavina & Sons Inc. creates Don Francisco's and Gavina Gourmet Coffee and Cafe La Llave, as well as grinds for Costco (Jose's) and McDonald's.
Today Gavina does everything but farm its coffee. Beans are purchased from Colombia, Ethiopia, Sumatra, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Brazil and other places around the globe.
"If they produce it and it tastes good, we've got it," Gavina said.
Gavina's cuppers sample prospective beans twice before a purchase is made. Product is also randomly sampled when it arrives and occasionally rejected. Most of the suppliers have a long-term relationship with the company and know what beans are preferred.
The best way to select good beans is through a "sensory" test, which incorporates sight, smell and taste.
"You can see defects, but that doesn't mean that the coffee is going to taste good, so you have to smell it in dry form, smell it in the wet form and then cup it, which is taste it," Gavina said.
Hundreds of bags of beans are stacked nearly to the ceiling on pallets in the large receiving room of the coffee plant waiting for approval. After receiving the thumbs up, the product is taken to the dumping station where each bag is split open by a worker, who literally spills the beans down through a grated floor to the next station. Here the beans are cleaned and any foreign material, such as stones and twigs, is removed before they are roasted.
Gavina has five roasters, three that handle loads of 250 pounds and two that roast 500 pounds at a time. Whole beans are always packaged immediately after this step of the process, while ground coffee may be packaged or may sit a short time to de-gas. After packaging, the coffee is sent out to Gavina's customers, which include restaurants, grocery stores and consumers.
The company has quality control steps throughout processing.
"It's a big philosophy for us that we put all this effort in and spend a lot of money on premium coffee when we're buying it that why, along our process where we have total control of it, would we ruin the coffee?" Gavina said. "So we have very tight controls on our quality and are very focused on the roast, the grind and the sealing of the packaging. "
To ensure the best cup of coffee, consumers must do their part as well. Gavina has conducted a three-month test on coffee storage and has determined that if whole beans are frozen in an airtight container, they will stay fresh four to six weeks, although three to four weeks is optimal.
"Whole beans will stay fresher longer because of the surface area," Gavina said. "However I recommend that if you don't have a good grinder, you buy it already ground because if you're not grinding it properly, you're going to have poor extraction. "
A grind that results in pieces of uneven sizes will not brew as well as and affect the taste, he said.
Another factor is water. It is important to have the right balance between soft and hard water and to be aware that anything in the water can affect the taste both negatively and positively. For example, some minerals help with the extraction of coffee from the beans during the brewing process. Gavina said that bottled filtered water offers the most consistent flavor.
Gavina is not only steeped in the process of making joe, he drinks two cups of coffee every morning and two espressos each afternoon.
"I like east African coffees, the Ethiopians and the Kenyas, because they're wild, they're different," he said. "The one we sell that I like the most is the (Don Francisco's) Breakfast Blend, it's a really good blend, it's just dark enough to be strong, but well-balanced. "
He explains that Gavina's dark roast differs from the typical Northwest dark.
"I compare coffee to steak in this case. I like medium-well steaks. I like the taste of steaks and you don't want it well-done because you create charcoal. The same thing with coffee, I like to taste the coffee that we're paying for. If I roasted it dark, it would flatten it," Gavina said.
A dark roast could reduce the citrus notes of the beans and highlight the bitter and charcoal tones, creating a muted, muddy flavor. Gavina's roast is lighter, allowing for a milder and more flavorful taste.
Gavina's newest product to hit grocery store shelves is Don Francisco's Family Reserve Single Serve.

But Gonzales' role in stifling the criminal investigation into her conduct has been largely overlooked.
The key decision court watchers point to is Gonzales v. Raich.
Richard Garey, 56, a soccer coach in Gonzales, Louisiana, knows how it feels.
One final question, Mr. Gonzales: Have you ever had a family dog that died?
Her reaction was filmed and Gonzales says it will be included on the DVD.
There's no water there yet; but the most fun of all to-day was the water-diviner the old Gonzales brought.
There was a hurried colloquy between the two Mexicans and a laugh from Gonzales.
"Then take me back to the Gonzales lockup," muttered Stiger.
The other stock was off on the range between the ranch and Gonzales, grazing.
The Queen intrusts Gonzales with a signet ring as the means of liberating him and conducting him to the royal chamber.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Area residents can
learn about the Spanish folk music and dance flamenco Tuesday night
at Lindsey Wilson College.
"Through the Cradle of Flamenco with Diana
Dinicola and Company" will be presented at 7 p.m. CT Tuesday,
Sept. 10, in W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall. The event
-- which is part of the LWC 2013-14 Cultural Affairs Series -- is
free and open to the public.
Flamenco is a Spanish folk music and dance that dates to
the 18th century and is synonymous with Spain's Andalucian region
in the country's southern area. Most Americans encounter flamenco
dance and music in the popular operas Carmen and La
Traviata or in films set in southern Spain.
Tuesday night's program will feature a multi-media talk
and demonstration.
"The evening will be a journey through Spanish history
and geography through the lens of flamenco," said LWC Cultural
Affairs Series Chair Phil Hanna.
Dinicola, who is an instructor and lecturer about
flamenco dance, will be accompanied by her husband, Paul T. Carney,
on guitar and vocalist Shannon Fitzgerald.
Dinicola's talk will include photos from travels in
Andalucia, reflections on experiences with the people and culture
of Spain, and a demonstration of flamenco.
"It's an opportunity to make connections between
landscape, context and artistic expression," Hanna said.
Dinicola has studied flamenco for more than a decade. A
graduate of Northwestern (Ill.) University, she holds a diploma for
the advanced level intensive training program at the Fundacion
Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco in Sevilla, Spain; she has
attended the National Flamenco Institute at the University of New
Mexico several times; and she returns to Spain annually for
continuing professional development.
Dinicola is co-founder of Flamenco Louisville and teaches
flamenco dance in Louisville, Ky., Lexington, Ky., Cincinnati, the
Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts and the Louisville
Also a graduate of Northwestern, Carney has studied Cuban
jazz and has performed with Flamenco Louisville since 2004.
Fitzgerald studied vocal solo work at Bellarmine (Ky.)
University and abroad. She earned a fellowship with Spain's
Ministry of Education as a North American language and culture
assistant and taught English in Andalusia.
"Through the Cradle of Flamenco with Diana Dinicola
and Company" will be presented at 7 p.m. CT Tuesday, Sept. 10, in
W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall, 155 Blue Raider Drive.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information,

Health Law Focus Area
Health law issues cut across traditional legal boundaries -- a health law practitioner must be conversant in such diverse areas of the law as constitutional law, legislative process, corporate transactions and contracting, administrative law, and personal injury law. The Health Law Focus Area is designed to provide students with a broad exposure to the range of legal issues that arise in this area. It includes three foundational courses and a range of more specialized substantive and skills courses.
The foundational courses are Administrative Law, Health Law I, and Medical Liability. Administrative Law is an essential introduction to the area as a number of the substantive courses related to health law are administrative law topics. The Health Law survey course provides students with an overview of the important legal and political issues relating to the delivery and financing of health care in the United States, and the Medical Liability course examines the ways in which the tort system and medical malpractice liability are used to regulate the quality of health care in this country. Students would benefit from taking the Health Law I and Administrative Law courses in their second year; Medical Liability can be taken in either the second or third year.
Every student pursuing the Health Law Focus Area must take at least one skills course. The skills courses include Trusts and Estates Clinic, in which students work in teams of two to represent low-income elderly or disabled persons in estate-planning matters, including preparation of wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, and advice regarding planning for Medicaid eligibility; Administrative Law Clinic, in which students work in teams of two to represent clients who have been denied Medicaid benefits; and a Health Law Externship, in which students work with in-house counsel for a health care institution or in the Health Sciences Division of the Attorney General's Office.
Finally, students wishing to complete the Health Law Focus Area must take at least three elective courses. Electives include Advanced Topics in Health Law, Antitrust, Bioethics and the Law, Elder Law, Forensics, Health Law II, Insurance Law, Law and Mental Health, Medical Fraud, Public Benefits Law, Public Health Law, Taxation of Charitable (Non-profit) Organizations, and Workplace Health and Safety. We have also included a list of additional courses that might be of interest, although they are not required for and do not count toward this focus.
While the Health Law Focus Area foundational courses are designed to provide students with a broad exposure to the range of legal issues that arise in a health law practice, students may wish to group their electives depending upon their particular areas of interest. For example, students interested in the business aspects of health law might choose to take Antitrust, Health Law II, Medical Fraud, and Taxation of Charitable (Non-profit) Organizations as electives, and then supplement the focus area with other business-related courses (e.g. Business Entities and Corporate Acquisitions). Students interested in the law relating to health-care benefits and social justice/access issues might take Elder Law, Public Benefits Law, Public Health Law, and Law and Mental Health, and then supplement the focus with courses such as Poverty Law, Disability Law, and Pensions and Employee Benefits. Students interested in medical malpractice litigation might choose Forensics and Insurance Law as electives, and then supplement the focus area with advocacy courses (e.g., Comprehensive Pretrial Advocacy, Comprehensive Trial Advocacy, and Dispute Resolution).

Is there an option in user settings that can disable the post quote notifications?
I looked, but could not find one. It is pointless to be notified of quotes; secondly, it is a little bit annoying to see the notification count driven up by this forum's pandemic of quotitis!
Could this option be added?
I'm not sure if you can turn it off, but I'm also not sure what other function the notifications button has, other than indicating that someone has mentioned you ... though the two things are distinguished anyway. I occasionally check to see if there have been any mentions, but just ignore the quotes bit. Why not just ignore it if you don't find it useful? Or have you found it has another purpose as well? (I may have just overlooked other uses it has, which I often do!)
No, I'm not aware of any other purpose for it, either. I just get a little bit annoyed when I'm given a notification, which might conceivably be important (otherwise, what would the point be), and it turns out to be irrelevant. Ignoring it is certainly a good suggestion but easier said than done: it's not in my nature, unfortunately.
What does irrelevant mean? It's a notification that you've been quoted—in other words, someone has replied to something you've said. I guess if you don't care about that, then just ignore the notification. It is basically a duplication of the My SitePoint list of subscribed threads with new answers, so kind of redundant from that point of view. But perhaps someone is only interested in replies where they've been quoted.
That's what I meant: it's a duplication of a function that works better.
Besides Quotes and Mentions it also indicates PM (and it would VM too, if they were active).
Most you would find anyway when you visited your UCP if you subscribe to threads you post in. But you would most likely miss the Mentions without the Notification.
mentions.... i live for mentions....
what's a VM?

DALLAS -- LAI Games reports that it now is shipping two versions of Ghost Town, a recently introduced video redemption game. The original Ghost Town was built into a cabinet designed to accommodate standard table-height chairs; the new addition's customer interface parapet, on which the guns are mounted, is high enough for comfortable use by patrons seated on barstools.
According to the manufacturer, the new parapet height is well suited for teens and adults; the original one is a versatile choice for family entertainment centers with a mix of young and adult players.
Ghost Town invites as many as four people to halt an onslaught of "spooky monsters" displayed, in four scenes, on the game's 55" LCD monitor. The weapons supplied to the defenders vibrate for enhanced realism, which is augmented by the dramatic sound effects and on-screen graphics. Success in zapping monsters wins points and tickets, and ultimately to an exciting bonus round.
Both versions offer multiple operator-adjustable settings, and measure 99" W. x 94" D. and stand 93" high.

Mexico's Ambassador to 1200 WOAI News: Hollywood Should Stop Portraying us as Drug Dealers!
Mexico's Ambassador to the United States tells 1200 WOAI's Michael Board that he and his country are tired of Hollywood portraying Mexican characters on sitcoms and movies as 'gardeners, maids, and drug lords."
"We have to go forward and move away from the stereotypes," Ambassador Eduardo Medina-Mora said following a three national economic summit in San Antonio, which brought together officials from Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
One of the most popular, and controversial, new comedies of the TV season, just renewed by Lifetime, is called 'Devious Maids,' and features several Mexican-American women who work for the rich and famous, and generally Anglo, residents of Beverly Hills.
The series was crafted from a Mexican telenovela, and was created, in part, by Eva Longoria. But it was raised concerns about stereotyping, concerns which Medina-Mora shares.
"Mexicans are portrayed as gardeners, sometimes maids, and drug dealers," he said.
He says Mexico is filled with successful scientists, engineers, and business owners, and he is worried that Americans and others around the world who consume the products of Hollywood will be convicted by these stereotypes.
"I have been dealing with this bilateral relationship for twenty years, at least, and this has been one of the most important areas of thinking for me," he said.
From Delores Del Rio to Cantinflas, Mexico's film industry has been moribund since its 'Golden Age' in the middle of the last century. Since then, a parade of Mexican born stars, from Ricardo Moltalban to Anthony Quinn to Guillermo del Toro, have left their native country for Hollywood and the bright lights of the American film industry.
Medina-Mora says he is waiting to see the Hollywood film where Mexico native Salma Hayek portrays a Nobel prize winning chemist. But he's not holding his breath.

Latest Update
Self Regulation
Following a number of recent complaints from Members of this Forum, it has been brought to the attention of the Moderators that a minority of members are continuously posting obscene messages.
Naturally it will never be the position of this Forum to censor or adjudicate on matters of taste or preference, indeed this Forum has been and will remain a place for a full and frank exchange of views and debate that is self regulated by its members.
Nevertheless there are times when it is essential that a modicum of common sense be imposed in order to preserve this Forum for its members and to ensure that MMA as a sport continues to be brought out of the shadows and into the Sports mainstream. With this in mind would all members please be aware of their own obligations to themselves, each other and the sport;
1. This Forum is owned under licence by Warrior Promotions MMA UK Ltd and as such has an obligation by its contract with the ultimate software licence owner to behave responsibly and not permit obscene or illegal images or discussion to take place.
2. The Forum and its sub Forums are places for debate, news and comment, not for personal vendettas to be pursued by a minority of its members and as such, escalating posts that become increasingly obscene and offensive will be deleted.
3. All new posts to the Forum are visible around the website including the front page as a service to all viewers of the site to click on, thus any posts containing obscene, overtly offensive language or seemingly illegal in the subject title with be deleted to ensure that the sport is not brought into disrepute.
We feel sure that all Forum Members do not wish to see this facility censored or worse still, closed down through disregard of its contractual obligations ,so we appeal to all Members to be aware of the impact of their posts and the fragile self regulation we all enjoy

Kingsbury Grade reopened after fire contained
August 29, 2014
Commuters from Carson Valley to Lake Tahoe got an early taste of life after Labor Day when a 1.5-acre fire closed Kingsbury Grade for more than four hours.
A hand crew should wrap up work today on the fire that was first reported 1:29 p.m. Wednesday.
The smoke plume was visible from all around the Valley, as firefighters rushed to the scene to prevent the fire from spreading into heavy timber, where it could have threatened lives and property at the top of the Grade.
Kingsbury was closed for fire apparatus at about 2 p.m.
East Fork Fire Marshal Steve Eisele said that the fire was about a half-mile from a home on the Grade burning, in brush and some scattered timber.
"We were very fortunate that we had very little wind," he said. "The humidity was quite low for that area. We were also fortunate that we had available resources between local and federal governments."
Those resources included two helicopters, including a Skycrane, a single-engine air tanker and a heavy air tanker.
"We had it boxed in fairly quickly," Eisele said. "We used the helos to work on the areas that were actively burning."
He said the fire is on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the U.S. Forest Service. The Forest Service took over responsibility for the fire on Wednesday night.
The cause is under investigation, Eisele said. There were several reports of lightning strikes in the area during a thunderstorm on Monday. The fire is also located near a power pole that could also have ignited the blaze.
While that thunderstorm dumped rain on South Lake Tahoe just a few miles away, it apparently did little to moisten vegetation further north.

Imagine you could travel through time and catch a glimpse of your older, senior self. How would you look? Would you be reveling in retirement bliss or struggling to make ends meet?
The folks at Merrill Edge want to give you a glimpse of that with Face Retirement, a social tool the company launched in December that takes people's photos and ages them, giving an idea of how they will look 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 years from now.
Users select their age and gender and use a webcam to take their picture. As a person's image ages, the tool also shows statistics on how much groceries, gas and cost of living will be when he or she is at a certain age.
"It's a way to show that young people should start saving for retirement," said James Suh, regional sales manager with Merrill Edge in the South Bay region, which encompasses 49 banking centers from Santa Monica to Cerritos.
Studies show that fewer people, especially young people, are saving for retirement. About 52 percent of the mass affluent surveyed by the fall 2012 Merrill Edge Report have saved less than $250,000 for retirement. Also, 56 percent surveyed said they plan to retire later than they had one year ago, a 19 percent jump from November 2011.
Meanwhile, another survey, done by Robert Half Management Resources, shows that nearly 38 percent of CFOs said they are more unsure about when they're going to retire than they were five years ago, while another 13 percent said their plans to retire have changed from five years ago.
Merrill Edge's Face Retirement tool stems from an experiment done at Stanford University.
A fter seeing their "future" selves, wrinkles and all, people said they would put 6.75 percent of their paychecks into a 401(k), compared with 5.2 percent from those who didn't participate, according to Merrill Edge.
"People who saw age-enhanced images of themselves were more likely to save more for retirement, compared to those who weren't exposed to their future selves," Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, said in a statement. "Face Retirement is designed to minimize that gap by giving consumers a preview of their future self, encouraging them to take control of long-term financial planning."
To get started on retirement, Suh suggests creating a plan for the desired lifestyle and examining how much one should save monthly. Ideally, a person should save 10 percent of his or her income. He also suggests looking into investment opportunities and consulting with a financial adviser on a quarterly basis.
"It's never too early to save," Suh said.

Slight vibration in 2012 740Li
Symptom of problem - At 58-63 mph on smooth asphalt, head rest on unoccupied front passenger seat vibrates constantly. You can see it vibrating with about 1/16"-1/8" movement. It can also be felt by placing your hand on the head rest. Nothing unusual is noted in steering wheel. The seat has a very slight vibration, but that is likely normal road feel. The symptom comes and goes at other speeds, and disappears above 80 mph.
The tire/wheels are 245/50R18 100H Michelin MXM4 Primacy non-run flats on factory rims. The tires have been checked by 3 quality tire shops and good balance has been confirmed, including load balancing. With only 1,100 miles on the car it's hard to imagine an alignment problem, as I've never hit a pot hole or other object. While this problem isn't a show stopper, it would be nice have a new car of this price/quality without the problem.
A forum search surfaced a few "vibration" issues, but none quite like this. I would be interested in someone doing speed and head rest vibration check on Li model. Also, does anyone have similar experience and/or solution suggestions? Thanks
I have a 2011 and noticed vibration from run flats but that went away with non run flats. No other issue. Did BMW service check it yet?
2015 640iX GC
I have had this exact issue on my 2011 750 Li. At exactly the same speeds and also no vibration on the steering wheel but the entire car vibrates, you can feel it in the drivers seat and notice just as you said the passenger headrest moving. My wife hates riding in the passenger seat for this reason. I have had this tested extensively by BMW and their engineers and they all stated it is normal. Some cars are worse that others. I have summer and winter tires and wheels and it does it with both sets (but they are all run flats). I also had a 2009 750 Li that did the same thing and also loaners 5 series that i witnessed the same vibration in (though not as bad). I was told by the engineers that a BMW is meant to feel the road and that is what you are experiencing. Even though the road looks smooth supposedly there are imperfections that the car is picking up. I am convinced it is an issue with these and may have to do with the run flats. I actually had my 2009 returned for this issue and now the 2011 has the same issue. Go figure. Good luck.
I had a same issue on my 2012 750Li, I took it to the dealer and they told me that it's from sitting in the lot for too long. They gave me all 4 new tires and vibration went away.
Oh I have 20 inch pirelli non flats by the way.
I got rid of my 2011 BMW 535i xdrive after having small vibraiton felt in both driver and passenger seat and feeling the slight vibes in the headrest around 70-75 mph on the car. IT was minimized with the regular Michelin all season tires but still bothersome for me. IT is not typical BMW road feel. My 335xi coupe does not have this on the highways and on smooth asphalt. My rims were fine and road force balancing was excellent. The tires were chanced twice now and same feeling on smooth asphalt roads around 70-75 mph. I have never felt any car let alone BMW do that. Other 2011 BMW 535i do them too with the base suspension. I am not sure if its not a problem with the 5 series that has the dynamic adaptive suspension like your 7 series since people complain on the 5 series board with vibration on base suspension. I am shock that there are complaints across the board with both 5 and 7 series with small vibration from the road that are not suppose to be on cars of these caliber. Vibration is not normal! Road feel is different from vibration so if you drive on smooth asphalt you should not feel any vibration at any speed. Other brands are not having these issues.

Can some one please help me with the similar issue. i have a CPO 2010 bmw 750i, it vibrates from 61-70 mph. like it gets really uncomfortable. The dealer has replaced 1 tire which had excessive road force and balanced all of them but still the problem is not gone. its my first bmw and i have never experienced these problems with audi or mercedes. i want to love my car but these problems keep me from driving it. Please Help
Gentle (and not so gentle!) BMW users,
This is my first post, so if I digress from Bimmerfest etiquette on introductions first, troubleshooting second, I apologize. My symptomology is similar to that stated above, except I am getting the vibration through the steering wheel, the chassis (seat of the pants), and headrest of the unoccupied passenger seat at a glance. This behavior changes with each dealership attempt to correct-- and mind you, every time but the last, they have admitted that it is a significant problem and that BMW is aware it is a problem across the 5, 6, and 7 spectrum. The first set of POS Goodyear LS run-on-flats was replaced as out of specification for unacceptable road force. The dealer has attempted to rehabilitate the brand new Goodyear LS run flats by road force balancing them now a third time. The BMW technical service engineer, in response to a PUMA case (no one has ever described what this acronym stands for) worked with the senior BMW tech at the dealership and the vibration actually got worse then the previous attempt (should have just left well enough alone). I noticed that one of the rear wheels is now on the front and that tire has been described to me as the one with the most road force. It seems that the Goodyear LS run on flats are just POS and they can't divorce themselves from this supplier. They claim there are no alternatives. However, they let slip that another customer just gave up and bought non-runflats and somehow they warranty-claimed the Goodyear POS LS tires.
Anyway, I suspect the run-on-flats, the electroservo assist power steering, and the suspension just highly sensitively telegraph imperfections-- not in the road surface as the BMW dealer describes as "road feel," but minute out-of-round imperfections in the tire and wheel combinations, which appear to have significant manufacturing variation (read: poor quality control) and which are intolerable in this system.
I'd love for this to be a tire-only problem, but I suspect the problem is much more deeply rooted.
I just bought a 2011 750i with 26k miles and CPO. I have a vibration problem coming from rear end. It has been to dealer 3 times. First they said I had two bent rear rims which I paid for repair. I have had all four wheels balanced and alignment done. Problem can really be felt between 60-70mph. I have owned many BMW's none with this issue. Heading back to dealer Monday for 4th time. Still under warranty.....they need to check other areas. Their foreman test drove the vehicle and confirmed its not right. Getting frustrated because in general, BMW's are awesome driving machines.
They also replaced a fuel valve which helped......so i am thinking it has to be something other than tires....any other fixes?

I've seen this speed related vibration on lots of boards. Occasionally, there is a unique issue, but almost always it is a tire balance issue.
If you are experiencing this, ask the dealer to break down the tire/wheel again. Why? If the tire and wheel aren't mounted on opposite sides no amount of balancing will fix the issue once either piece is enough out of round. Then you need the roadforce balance as some have posted here. If either a wheel or a tire is too far out of balance, all these steps still won't matter, you will still get the vibration.
I had a 98 Lexus GS400 new that I had the dealer look at this so many times I was up for Lemon Law. So they sent in a rep to see what we could do. He had me drive any over GS400 on the lot and told me to find one that did not vibrate. When we did, he swapped the wheels and tires with mine. Issue gone. On the final test drive he told me about this new roadforce balancing they had installed on the production line as this issue had become to common. He said at that time they were finding 1 in 4 tires were so out of spec, they could not be balanced to prevent just these kind of vibrations and were kicked back to the manufacture. So even with the proper install and proper roadforce balance, there is still be possibility that you can have issues in the wheels or tires that will prevent you from resolving the issue with your current equipment.
Hope that helps.

The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 2013. Ten key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown
By Nile Gardiner
World Last updated: June 6th, 2013
Obama's second term is shaping up to be a disaster.
The last few weeks have been among the worst of Barack Obama's time in office, recalling earlier periods of turmoil for the president in 2010 and 2011, when his ratings also plummeted. In 2013, the situation is significantly worse for the White House, with the Obama administration engulfed in a series of major scandals (IRS persecution of conservative groups, the Benghazi debacle, and the Justice Department seizure of journalists' phone records) that are not only eroding trust in government but also in the office of the president itself. This is undoubtedly a period of steep decline for the Obama presidency, whose imperial-style big government approach is being increasingly questioned not only by American voters, but also by formerly subservient sections of the liberal-dominated mainstream media. In contrast to his first term, Barack Obama is finding himself less and less shielded by the press, and far more vulnerable to public criticism.
With good reason, Americans don't feel optimistic about their country's future with President Obama at the helm. According to the RealClear Politics polling average, less than one in three Americans believe the United States is heading in the right direction. A new Economist/YouGov poll has the president's job approval rating at just 46 percent, with 49 percent of Americans disapproving. Strikingly, 35 percent of Americans "strongly disapprove" of the president's job performance, 15 points higher than the number who "strongly approve." A mere 31 percent of Americans surveyed by YouGov believe the United States is "generally headed in the right direction."
In addition to damaging scandals, which have raised major questions over the integrity and judgment of the Obama administration, there remain deep-seated concerns over the US economy and the enormous national debt, widespread opposition to the president's health care reforms, and significant fears over national security. Barack Obama's second term could not have started more badly for the "hope and change" president, who, with three and a half years in office remaining, looks more and more like a lame duck. Here are ten key reasons why the Obama presidency is in trouble, with the outlook exceedingly grim for the White House.
1. The American public is losing trust in Obama
A recent Quinnipiac survey found that less than half of Americans (49 percent) now view their president as "honest and trustworthy." According to Quinnipiac, the series of recent scandals have begun to significantly dent the president's standing with the American people, with his approval rating standing at just 45 percent. The IRS targeting of conservative groups has been particularly damaging, with 76 percent of voters supporting the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the scandal, and a series of Congressional hearings putting the Obama administration on the spot. Another survey, by NBC News/The Wall Street Journal, reveals a great deal of public concern over the "overall honesty and integrity of the Obama administration," with more than half of Americans agreeing that recent scandals have "raised doubts" about the government's trustworthiness. 41 percent of Americans believe that President Obama himself is "totally" or "mainly" responsible for the government's handling of Benghazi – just 19 percent believe he bears no responsibility. On the IRS issue, only 24 percent say the president is not responsible in any way, while a third of Americans think he is largely culpable.
2. The Obama presidency is imperial in style and outlook
Leading conservative talk radio host Mark Levin was absolutely right when he blasted Barack Obama on Fox News back in January as "an imperial president." It would be hard to find a US president in recent times who has behaved in a more arrogant fashion than President Obama, and that includes Richard Nixon. The Obama White House is routinely disdainful of criticism, sneeringly dismissive of Congressional opposition, nasty and brutish towards dissenting voices in the media, and completely lacking in humility. Even veteran reporters such as Bob Woodward, one of two journalists who broke the Watergate scandal, have found themselves on the sharp end of the White House's boot after publishing unflattering stories. Woodward was warned earlier this year by a senior White House official that he would "regret" his remarks about the president's handling of the sequester issue. At the same time the Obama presidency exudes a shameless "let them eat cake" mentality, abundantly on display with the president's lavish vacations and golfing expeditions while millions of American families have struggled to pay their mortgage and stay afloat against the backdrop in recent years of the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression.
3. Most Americans are still worried about the economy
Economic concerns are the top priority for Americans according to Gallup. In a recent poll, 86 percent of Americans agreed that "creating more jobs" and "helping the economy grow" are the top two priorities. "Making government work more efficiently" came third, at 81 percent. Despite a slight uptick in economic growth, and improving housing prices in some markets, the United States still has deep-seated economic problems. Most Americans are still nervous about the economy. According to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey, just 46 percent of Americans approve of the job Barack Obama is doing in handling the economy. 64 percent of Americans are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the state of the US economy today. Only 32 percent believe the economy will get better in the next 12 months. 58 percent of Americans still think the country is in an economic recession.
Strong job creation and robust economic growth are being significantly hampered in the United States by declining economic freedom, including rising tax rates, the growing burden of government regulation, and a rising dependency culture. Unemployment still remains at 7.5 percent, with nearly 12 million Americans out of work. 47 million Americans are living on food stamps (the highest figure in American history), and a staggering 128 million Americans are now dependent upon government programmes. A full economic recovery still remains far away. According to the Federal Reserve, Americans have rebuilt less than half of the wealth lost to the recession. As The Washington Post reported: "The research from the St. Louis Fed shows that households had accumulated net worth totaling $66 trillion at the end of last year. After adjusting for inflation and population growth, the bank found that number amounted to only 45 percent of the wealth that Americans had during the peak of the boom in 2007."
4. America's level of debt is frightening
America's economic problems are compounded by its huge debt problem. Barack Obama continues to lead the United States down the path of European Union-style decline, with incredible levels of public debt, currently standing at $16.85 trillion, a per person debt of $53,000. President Obama has done nothing to confront the vast entitlement programmes that are a yoke around the necks of future generations of American taxpayers, while taking an axe to defense spending, resulting in politically driven cuts that undermine America's national security while doing nothing to reduce the country's debt burden. As he made clear in his Inauguration address in January, President Obama remains committed to a big spending, big government vision, and one that will force the United States down the road to economic ruin unless it is reversed.
5. Obamacare is hugely expensive and increasingly unpopular
A key liability that will further expand America's debt mountain is Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act), the Obama administration's hugely ambitious and expensive health care reform initiative that threatens to dramatically increase the cost of healthcare for ordinary Americans as well as businesses, when it goes into effect next year. Forbes Magazine reports that in California Obamacare is expected to increase individual health insurance premiums by 64 to 146 percent. The latest Congressional Budget Office estimate puts a $1.85 trillion price tag on Obamacare in its first 10 years. A clear majority of Americans oppose Obamacare. The latest CNN/ORC International poll shows 54 percent opposing the law. A Reason/Rupe poll found that a mere 32 percent support it. An April poll by the Kaiser Foundation, and reported by Politico, revealed that "just 35 percent of Americans view Obamacare 'very' or somewhat' favorably, down 8 points since Election Day." Opposition in the business community is also high, especially among small businesses, the bedrock of the US economy. Gallup finds that 48 percent of small business owners say the Affordable Care Act is bad for business – just nine percent say it will be good for business. As Obamacare rolls in, opposition to its implementation will only grow. If the Republicans retake the Senate in 2014, expect Congress to launch a major effort to repeal it.
