The list below contains all of the Obama Administration mistakes, blunders, broken promises, flip flops, gaffes, lies, etc. That's too long of a name, so we called it "the Official Obama Administration Scandals List." This list covers Barack Obama and his pals from day one through September 4th, 2011. At that point, the list was discontinued. However, you can see information on more recent scandals on our NEW Obama Scandals List by clicking here! We present this list to you as an accurate and complete historic detail of the Legacy of Lies President Obama leaves behind for the time period starting with his youth and going until September 4th, 2011.

8/19/11 The White House is in full panic mode along with the Obama 2012 team! Realizing they are losing votes faster than they can count them, they announced yesterday Team Obama will now personally review more than 300,000 deportation orders before anyone is allowed to be deported!! That way his reelection campaign can count on at least some of those illegals still being here to cast illegal votes for his own butt's reelection! This man is a disgrace to the Office of the Presidency. He's grasping at straws and is making a fool of himself (see next item).
8/19/11 President Barack Obama could not get his way in congress. He wanted to pass his "Dream" Act to make certain illegals would be here to vote (illegally) for him in 2012. Congress said no way. Initially, he said that he would just have to accept that conclusion. From CNN less than one month ago: "America's immigration system is broken, but only a bipartisan political movement can fix it, President Barack Obama said Monday. "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions," Obama told the National Council of La Raza." – ConservativeAmerican.org points out that was then though, and this is now. Like others have said, this Obama comment also had an expiration date! Yesterday he had his cronies go ahead and enact a major part of his DREAM act even without congressional approval!! Certainly it is fair for us to agree with Obama and point out "But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions!!" The truth is he doesn't give a rat's rear end about how our democracy functions. He just wants to get his way.
8/21/11 National Review Online: "Obama's Entitlement Promises – With a little over a year left in his first term, how are they holding up? – [Obama in 2008:] "We're going to have to take on entitlements, and I think we've got to do it quickly. We're going to have a lot of work to do, so I can't guarantee that we're going to do it in the next two years, but I'd like to do it in my first term as president." Apparently, Obama still isn't willing to make the needed changes, at least judging from his remarks on August 8 to address the S&P downgrade. "I intend to present my own recommendations over the coming weeks on how we should proceed," the president assured us. It will include two major items: 1) tax increases, and 2) "modest adjustments to health-care programs like Medicare." S&P downgraded the U.S. because all Washington made were "minor changes" during the debt-ceiling debate; apparently, Obama thinks "moderate adjustments" will get us back on track…"
8/21/11 Check the video from the Patriotic Network…
8/21/11 From Sad Hill News: "Why just 2 years ago Obama addressed the nation …to 'assure' us there was absolutely, positively nothing to worry about when purchasing a GM or Chrysler vehicle — specifically service and warranties. [BUT NOW:] 'GM Decides To Blow Off Vehicle Warranties – (Reuters) General Motors Co is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit over a suspension problem on more than 400,000 Chevrolet Impalas from the 2007 and 2008 model years, saying it should not be responsible for repairs because the flaw predated its bankruptcy…' – [OBAMA:] "Let me say this as plainly as I can," Obama said in a speech today. "If you buy a car from Chrysler or General Motors, you will be able to get your car serviced and repaired just like always. Your warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it has ever been. Because starting today, the United States will stand behind your warranty."
8/28/11 Warner Todd Huston is one of my favorite writers on the web. He's always coming up with interesting stuff. Here's another example: "[Obama in 2008]'I have sworn that we're taking out the bowling alley in the White House and we're putting in a basketball court.' [Huston:] Three years later, he hasn't… the basement bowling alley President Truman installed in 1947 is still there -– and apparently being put to good use. At least 230 visitors to the White House during May came for the express purpose of bowling, according to visitor logs.."
8/28/11 Chip Wood writes at Personal Liberty Digest: "The result would be the lowest level of annual domestic spending since Dwight Eisenhower was President," our obfuscator in chief declared. Seems he left out the word "discretionary" from his boast. This makes a huge difference. According to the Congressional Budget Office, nondefense discretionary spending was only 19 percent of total Federal spending in 2010. Figures don't lie…"
8/28/11 Jacksonville.com reminds us that one of the Obamanator's biggest lies is the one he tells most often: "Over and over he says it! "He inherited the worst economic condition since the Great Depression." If he has said it once, he has said it a hundred times. Given the fact that he makes a speech nearly once each day wearing out God knows how many Teleprompters, he must have said it nearly 600 times in two and one-half years. Frankly, I number this among the biggest of the many lies this president has told the American people; so many that you could not list them all on one sheet of paper [ConservativeAmerican.org notes, he's right there! It has taken us 24 pages so far! Back to Jacksonville.com:] The fact is that he did not inherit the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression; Ronald Reagan did! According to writer Stephen Moore, "What Reagan inherited was arguably a more severe financial crisis than what was dropped in Mr. Obama's lap. You don't believe it? From 1967 to 1982 stocks lost two-thirds of their value relative to inflation, according to a new report from Laffer Associates. That mass liquidation of wealth was a first-rate financial calamity. And tell me that 20% mortgage interest rates, as we saw in the 1970s, aren't indicative of a monetary-policy meltdown…"
8/29/11 Wash Times Pic – Unlce Onyango "Omar" Obama – Why is it that the President of the United States of America has illegal alien relatives living in our country?!! Norman Miller at the MetroWest Daily News reports one of them is in trouble: "A Framingham man illegally in the country from Kenya was drunk when he nearly ran his sport utility vehicle into a police car Wednesday night on Waverly Street, police said. Onyango Obama, 67, told Officer Val Krishtal that Krishtal should have yielded to his Mitsubishi SUV… Krishtal said he and another driver had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting the SUV, which rolled through a stop sign… Obama failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested… Obama has a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant for his arrest. ICE has previously ordered him to be deported back to Kenya. Obama pleaded not guilty at his arraignment yesterday. Judge Douglas Stoddart did not set any bail on the driving charges but ordered him held on the ICE warrant." — ConservativeAmerican.org notes Miller forgot to tell you that Onyango is President Obama's illegal alien uncle! The Washington Times Kerry Picket reports: "I spoke to Framingham Public Information Officer Lieutenant Delaney who told me that when Onyango Obama was asked at booking if he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail, the Kenyan immigrant replied: "I think I will call the White House."
8/29/11 So while the libs remained silent, Barack Hussein Obama started a third war, an illegal war trading blood for oil. Worse yet, the oil is not even for us! It's oil for Europe. So rather than lead, the takes a back seat to NATO but still funds the war with our tax dollars. As the rebels near success in Libya and are now in control of the Lockerbie Bomber, President Obama has FAILED to secure his transfer to the USA for trial!! OMG! You mean there was no conversation ahead of time that if we back up you rebels, you'll give us this Lockerbie Looney? Obama is a failure.
8/30/11 Secret White House memo's reveal the Obama administration is very concerned about "how to frame" the 10-year anniversary of the Muslim extremist's terror attacks in New York city. FOXy blondes news is reporting the Obama 2012 campaign wants to "FRAME" the remembrance as less about the specifics of 9-11 and more about all peoples everywhere around the globe who have been harmed by terrorists! Gag! Reports in years passed revealed Team Obama was concerned 9-11 was a "republican holiday!" That's why his reelection campaign has worked hard to make it a day of community service, not a day to renew our resolve to find and kill Muslim extremist terrorists wherever they are.
8/30/11 FOXy Blondes News is reporting President Obama is out with a list of "talking points" for the 9-11 remembrance including a request that any talk of Al Qaeda be kept to a minimum! WHAT?! "One set of guidelines urged U.S. officials to"minimize references to Al-Qaeda." The documents cited the killing of Usama bin Laden as evidence that the terror network that plotted and executed the Sept. 11 attacks is becoming "increasingly irrelevant."
8/30/11 The Obama Administration is doing all it can to delay any sense of justice for the families of 9-11 victims. Still no trial even scheduled for terrorist leaders held at Guantanamo Bay. Team Bush never got the trials going either. FOXy Blondes Newsreports: "Ten years after the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, there is still no public timetable for the trial of the suspects at Guantanamo Bay, according to a Defense Department letter obtained by Fox News. Sent to the families of Sept. 11 victims by the Office of Military Commissions, the Aug. 26 letter reads in part: "Although we are not able to give you a more precise answer on when to expect a decision by the Convening Authority (the body that oversees the military trials), we will continue to provide updates." Lee and Eunice Hanson, who lost their son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter at Ground Zero, say the letter confirms what they told Fox News in February — there may not be a trial in their lifetimes. "I don't know how many years I've got left," Eunice Hanson said with her husband by her side. "I would like to see some justice before I pass on and it's just not happening, it's not happening." [Lee Handson added:] "We look pretty weak in that we can't bring these people to trial…"
8/30/11 Radio giant Rush Hudson Limbaugh pointed out on today's show that almost exactly one year ago, President Obama pointed out he would finally announce a plan to deal with job creation and fixing the economy after he returned from his August 2010 vacation. Hmmmm. So, here we are one year later and he has again announced he will finally announce a plan to deal with job creation and fixing the economy now that he is back from his August 2011 vacation! The truth is he's more loyal to his socialist redistribution methods than he is to the American people looking for jobs! The things he would need to do to help create jobs (get rid of the ObamaCare Nightmare, lower taxes for businesses and individuals, etc.) simply go too far for him. He's just not comfortable helping people find work if it means giving up his socialist agenda!!
8/30/11 From World Net Daily: "A scandal-prone Obama White House operative with close ties to ACORN has been chosen to lead a get-out-the-vote effort for Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. The Obama aide is Buffy Wicks, former deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement… "This is yet more evidence that Saul Alinsky disciple Barack Obama doesn't care about ethics and the integrity of the electoral system," said award-winning investigative journalist Matthew Vadum…" ConservativeAmerican.org notes this isn't the first time Miss Buffy has made the Obama Scandals list. From back on 9/21/9: Breitbart's Big Hollywoodidentifies Buffy Wicks the "functionary from the White House Office of Public Engagement" that George Will wrote about as having pushed ObamaCare during a conference call to grant recipients of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) as being Buffy Wicks. Rush Limbaugh today refers to Wicks as "Buffy the Wal-Mart Slayer" because of her involvement in protests against Wal-Mart. As we pointed out July 2nd, Obama has done a huge flip-flop on Wal-Mart: "President Obama has gone from saying he wanted to "force" Wal-Mart to "re-examine its corporate values," to being a fan of the company he has personally profited from. That's because Wal-Mart now is backing at least part of Obama's socialist healthcare plan!" Wicks was part of Team Obama California and was in charge of Obama's Inauguration. Ron Galloway writes at the Huffington Post that, "I met Buffy two years ago when she was instrumental in the anti-Wal-Mart effort. She was polite to me, which she didn't have to be, and frighteningly smart. And frightening to me in general." ConservativeAmerican.org wonders what the young Buffy, (who works for Valerie Jarrett–see scandal dated 12/18/2008), thinks of Obama suddenly liking Wal-Mart now! Wicks crossed ethical, and perhaps even legal, lines in pushing federal arts grant recipients to help promote the ObamaCare Nightmare. She also asked them to produce pro-Obama artwork! UPDATE 11/4/9: The Washington Examiner wants to know why Wicks remains on the White House payroll after the NEA scandals.
8/30/11 Couric-BS News reports: "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Acting Director Kenneth Melson is being moved out of the top job at the bureau, ATF special agents in charge announced during an internal conference call today. He will transfer to the Justice Department and assume the position of senior advisor on forensic science, Office of Legal Programs…"
9/1 /11 James R. Hagerty and Kris Maher report at the Wall Street Journal today that even though Gibson Guitar Corporation has backed groups like Greenpeace for years, the Obama administration has raided the company twice over "allegedly illegal imports of wood." Important to note here: No charges have been filed. From WSJ: "Gibson factories have been raided… by federal agents who say ebony exported from India to Gibson was "fraudulently" labeled to conceal a contravention of Indian export law… Henry Juszkiewicz, chief executive officer of the closely held company, said in an interview that a broker probably made a mistake in labeling the goods but that the sale was legal and approved by Indian authorities. Gibson's predicament… illustrates the pitfalls of complying with U.S. law while dealing with middlemen in faraway countries whose legal systems can be murky… Gene Nix, a wood product engineer at Gibson, was questioned by agents after the first raid and told he could face five years in jail. "Can you imagine a federal agent saying, 'You're going to jail for five years' and what you do is sort wood in the factory?" said Mr. Juszkiewicz, recounting the incident. "I think that's way over the top." Gibson employees, he said, are being "treated like drug criminals." Mr. Nix hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing…"
9/1 /11 Jobs are important and all, but so is Golf for Pete's sake! Obama was not willing to postpone his vacation with the corporate jet flying, rich, evil, fat-cat CEO's out East to deal with jobs. Nope, that will have to wait until he gets his much deserved vacation. Rush Hudson Limbaugh notes this is the same thing President Obama said… one YEAR AGO! "RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I am holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers (shuffling paper) a story from the Cybercast News Service, Monday, August 29th of 2011. I take that back! I'm sorry! (stammering) I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. August 29th, 2011? What am I saying! One year ago yesterday: "President Barack Obama, in an Aug. 29, 2010 interview with NBC's Brian Williams, said he would propose a plan for jobs and economic growth when he returned from his summer vacation," one year ago. I am not making this up. Don't you think the way I just did that was pretty clever? I sucked you all in, did I not? Folks, we are getting instant replay here one year later…"
9/1/11 As Chris Stirewalt puts it at FOXy Blondes News: "Imagine the thought process at the White House: Have to give the speech next week – waiting any longer to release the jobs plan would be a disaster. Can't go Monday, it's Labor Day. Tuesday is out — Congress isn't in session yet. Thursday's a no-go because it's the NFL kickoff. You can't get roadblocked prime-time coverage if the Packers and the Saints are playing. Friday? Nobody would watch. It's got to be Wednesday. He's the president, they're just wannabes. We'll make them move it. Brilliant." – ConservativeAmerican.org calls it childish and foolish.
9/1/11 As Chris Stirewalt again puts it at FOXy Blondes News: "The problem with the plan, though, is that the president can only address Congress at the invitation of the speaker of the House. If the White House did what protocol demands and consulted with the speaker, it would have given Boehner the chance to upend their plan in private: "Gee, I'm not really a Packers fan, but I kinda wanted to see my party's presidential debate, maybe Thursday?" So the whiz kids at the White House figured they could embarrass Boehner into accepting the date: a quick call to notify the speaker of the request and then, blamo, a public announcement. But Boehner was blunt, not clever, and just did in public what he would have done in private: "Gee…" Once the president had played politics with his request, it gave Boehner all the cover he needed to politicize his response." And rightly so, says ConservativeAmerican.org.
9/1/11 Maybe part of Obama's new jobs plan could be to say Yes when someone offers him 5,000 jobs! David Callaway at the Wall Street Journal's Market Watch reports: "Did AT&T Corp. really think that its 11th-hour offer to bring 5,000 wireless call-center jobs back to the U.S. if its $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA was approved would work? Probably not, but it was worth a shot. A government so hobbled by the lack of jobs created since the financial crisis might consider anything if it could boost payrolls, even allowing a massive mobile telecom deal envisioned by AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom AG." ConservativeAmerican.org says the Obama Justice for Blacks-Only Department has sued to block AT&T's takeover. As Callaway explains: "…saying the combination of the second- and fourth-largest U.S. cellphone companies would hurt competition, raise prices. Alas, the Department of Justice wouldn't be swayed in this case from its concern that the deal would reduce competition and raise consumer prices. But it will have other chances. The Obama Administration needs to create millions of new jobs in the next 14 months to ensure re-election. Judging from the leaks so far about the president's new plan to create jobs — set to be announced next week — it's not going to be enough."
9/1/11 From the East Valley Tribune comes this story: "Migrant laborers in this country will be able to get information on workers compensation, wage-and-hour laws and other U.S. labor protections "no matter how you got here," under an agreement signed Monday. The deal signed at the Labor Department adds Costa Rica, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic to the U.S. and three other Latin American countries that have agreed to look out for the rights of migrant workers…"No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights," U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said,/b> at Monday's signing ceremony. "You have a right to a safe and healthy workplace and the right to a legal wage."Solis said the Labor Department will not share with other agencies the details of workers who seek information. "What we're trying to avoid is that these vulnerable communities be abused, and that there be an increase in more underground economic activity that goes untaxed," she said." — ConservativeAmerican.org saysuh-huh, suuuuuuure you are. Hilda doesn't care about taxes! Remember when her hubby was in trouble over tax issues? We do! Hilda is doing this as part of the Obama 2012 campaign to ensure more illegals are here to illegally cast illegal votes for Obama! Solis makes a big mistake saying regardless of if you break the law or not, "You have certain rights." Wrong. If you are a citizen, you lose certain rights when you break the law. If you are not a citizen, you are NOT entitled to the rights of citizenship! It should go without saying, but in an upside down Obama world, these things have to be pointed out!
9/1/11 In an outrageous policy decision, the Obama administration has decided its fine for one federal agency (under Obama) to keep secrets from another federal agency (also under Obama) in order to "protect" illegal aliens! This is nonsense!Obama already refuses to enforce federal law (what about that vow he took with his hand on the Bible?!) and now he condones the Labor Department keeping secrets from Immigration! Hilda Solis confirmed it yesterday announcing, the Labor Department will not share with other agencies the details of workers who seek information about so-called "rights" they are not entitled to as law-breakers here illegally! (see scandal above) OMG! This country needs the Tea Party! We need to return to the greatness of our Founders and our founding documents. We need a President who means it when he says he will uphold and defend the laws of this great nation!
9/1/11 From FOXy Blondes News: "A California solar-panel manufacturer once touted by President Obama as a beneficiary of his administration's economic policies — as well as a half-billion-dollar federal loan — is laying off 1,100 workers and filing for bankruptcy. Solyndra LLC of Fremont, Calif., had become the poster child for government investment in green technology. The president visited the company in May 2010 and noted that Solyndra expected to hire 1,000 workers to manufacture solar panels…" ConservativeAmerican.org does the math: That's $454,000 Obama spent per job lost!! Barack Hussein Obama, mmmm mmmm mmm, spends more than $450,000 each job to lose 1,100 jobs! Green is fine, if it can survive on its own without government assistance. We're broke! What business does the fed have in wasting half a BILLION dollars on a green jobs hoax where all the jobs vanished (even with all of that federal help!!!)
9/4/11 Even big democrat-party labor unions, which worked hard to elect the Obamanator, are questioning what the heck the Commander in Chief is doing! They want to know where the promised land is that he… well, promised. From MicroSoft's NBC: "…union leaders are grousing that the president they worked so hard to electhas not focused enough on job creation and other bold plans to get their members back to work. "Obama campaigned big, but he's governing small," said Larry Hanley, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union… unions have begun shifting money and resources out of Democratic congressional campaigns and back to the states in a furious effort to reverse or limit GOP measures that could wipe out union rolls." –ConservativeAmerican.org: So even the Amalgamated Transit Union thinks Obama is a loser! Here it is labor day weekend and the Bamster is getting hammered by union leaders!!!
On 9/4/11, ConservativeAmerican.org discontinued the list. It was simply too much work to keep up with all of the Team Obama lies and broken promises. And, the majority of voters were not even willing to listen to the truth about Obama. As history taught us, President Obama was easily reelected in 2012. People still believed the "If you like you plan, you can keep it" lie. Only after the President broke that promise, one that impacted tens of millions of Americans, did citizens start to wake up and realize who the REAL Barack Obama is. This list is presented to all of those now willing to look into Obama's past.

Unlike many of the homes on Lake Lure this property does not have any steps to go down to reach the lake or steps to climb back up to reach the house. There is a gradual concrete pathway that is only 120' away from the boat house. You are provided with an electric Club Car golf cart for your use in taking your guests to the boat house and water front. You can also carry your food and drinks as the carts rear seat folds down to make a carry rack. Here you will find chairs and tables for your relaxing day in the sunshine and water. Floats and noodles are included. Also included are two lake kayaks for your enjoyment of the wonderful lake areas to explore. The house is located at the dam which ensures the warmest water in the lake.
The boat house has a great location for swimming and enjoying the water. Afternoon shade is a pleasant occurrence after a hot day in the sun. As evening draws to a close, be sure to take advantage of the lovely lights from the dam as they dance across the water and look up to enjoy our Carolina starry night sky.
This home ALSO COMES WITH A 24' PONTOON BOAT (50 HP Honda Four Stroke motor) that seats 12 guests. Lake Lure has 21 miles of shore line with 750 acres of water surface, so you can enjoy hours of fun on the boat as you explore the lake, shoreline, magnificent mountain views and swimming in wonderful secluded coves. ** Pontoon Boat available ONLY April 15th- November 30th (weather permitting)

This property is located close to numerous attractions and wonderful places to visit. Nothing can compare to the time you will spend in and on the waters of Lake Lure.
Our family of 12 had a great time at StoneRidge in Lake Lure. Our first time to the area and it was beautiful! The house was great, but not kid proof. We were constantly moving things out of the reach of the 2 and 3 year olds and the spiral staircase was a surprise. Only one issue with no hot water, which was resolved quickly by the management. The old pontoon boat was reliable and we spent hours on the lake. The mountains were breathtaking! We did several things in the area such as ziplining, white water rafting and horseback riding. Would definitely recommend this home to large families!
The home was beautiful and all amenities were provided, too bad is does not overlook the large part of Lake Lure. Enjoyed our stay though, the boat and kayaks were awesome and the golf cart absolutely necessary to get my Mother up and down the hill to the boat so that was a very nice benefit. Just needed more time to enjoy the boat and house and a late check out was not granted even though house was not rented the day we departed so don't even bother asking.

This House is georgeuos, property managment unprofessional and condescending.
Your Comments The home was beautiful, spaceous and very well appointed. It was fully loaded with every thing you need. Loads of room with several seating areas to read, play games or watch TV. The dock & boat house were a nice feature, however the promised pontoon boat could not be used because they said that they lost the keys. This was extremely disappointing, as we chose this home because of the available pontoon boat. The property management agent gave us the runaround when we repeatedly asked for the key status. She was not helpful, and at times she bordered on being deceitful as well as condescending. It appeared that she simply did not care. The TV in the living room was not working, a service man tried to fix the problem but was unsuccessful. Lastly: We have rented many VRBO vacation homes, but never have we seen the outlandish additional fees tagged on this rental agreement, These fees were:
House keeping fee $325;
Boat Master Fee $75 (no boat was used!!);
Accidental waiver fee $45;
cc processing fee $62.02;
Reservation fee $75.
FOR A TOTATL of $582.02 in extra fees. Not to mention $208 Taxes. Bottom line: house rental for 5 days was $1448. With all extra fees & taxes it ends up costing $2238.39!
Our family stayed at this lovely home for 5 days recently while attending the Hickory Nut Gorge destination wedding of our daughter.
The decks were favorite gathering places for everyone. I'll never forget sitting on the lower deck in the early morning watching reflections of pink clouds and rising mist on the lake. The huge open concept of the floor plan was just terrific for staying connected with the coming and going of our extended family. The kitchen was well stocked and nicely arranged for food preparation and serving. The downstairs had everything anyone could possibly need. We all fell in love with the ambiance of the 'sunroom/reading room' on the main level.
We loved having the availability of the golf cart, boat, kayak and dock.
The owners were most gracious and helpful in every way. We very much appreciated their kindness and hospitality. They made reservations for us at their favorite restaurant when we inquired about a good place to eat upon our arrival and they even made short term parking available when our future in-laws stopped by.
Our family from KY, CA and Austria that stayed with us thought they could not have been treated more royally or have stayed at a more gracious home. We agree with them.
The week long stay we had at this house was fantastic. The house is exactly as described and displayed in the pictures. My husband is in a power wheelchair and the owners went out of their way to make sure all was ok. they built a ramp onto the deck to get into the house. John even figured out a way to get my husband easily and safely on the pontoon boat. Granted the master bath is not technically handicapped accessible but someone in a chair can maneuver around it quite easily given the floor space.
The floor plan is wide open. there is plenty of room for a large family or several couples looking to get away. Property was very clean and well maintained. The paved path from the house to the lake was steep but easily navigable even for a wheelchair (with good brakes!). There also is an electric cart for use up and down the hill which makes it very easy even for someone not sure on their feet to get down to the water.
The owners are very friendly and always available if a need arose. we had a very nice cruise with them on the lake.
As for things to do, there are many. the lake itself is gorgeous and well worth hanging around. Chimney rock is nearby and Asheville is under an hour away.
We would stay in this house again and would recommend it. We have stayed in many rental houses in the past and this was definitely one of the nicest with among the most helpful owners. Go!!!!!!!!! You will not regret it.
Wow! What a super vacation rental! We rented Stone Ridge for two weeks. First week was all adult, second week children were included. Both groups had an outstanding experience. The house was perfect. There were plenty bedrooms and baths for the first group and the kids enjoyed the loft during week two. The house is beautiful and was extremely well equipped with all the utensils you could possibly need. The two sets of washer/dryers were very handy. The pontoon boat was a great addition and the golf cart was very convenient for moving seniors and supplies to and from the boat house. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks. many floats and swimming and fishing from the dock (most of the fish were caught inside the boat house). The are so many things to do in the area. Chimney Rock is a must and the Biltmore makes a great day trip. Zip lining and white water rafting were very much enjoyed by the younger set. The Lake is beautiful and it was fun to just cruise around in the boat and check out all the beautiful homes. It was also very nice to take the boat to the local restaurants in the evening. John and Kathy, the owners, live nearby and were always willing to cheerfully answer any questions and provide any assistance that might be needed.
This turned out to be a super getaway for our families and we all hope that we can do it again sometime. This is a gem of a rental that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in a comfortable, gorgeous vacation home in a great area for a week or longer.
This house is everything the description says. We had the time of our lives. Our party consisted of 9 adults and a 3yr old and 9 month old . We had everything we needed for the baby as well as room for all the adults . We rented the pontoon boat and used it daily. The owners were very gracious and available if we needed anything . Will definitely come back with our large family. The house was perfect for our mom, no steps and a golf cart to ride down to the lake. This house has everything and more to offer.Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Our surrounding area offers many, many miles of wonderful hiking trails and exploring adventures. There are a number of publications available to provide you information about these activities.

Using Movement Awareness to Support Your Recovery
Many people go throughout their lives unaware of what their bodies are doing or feeling. Walking, moving, sitting, and breathing are so automatic, something we perfected as toddlers and never think about again. People who regularly abuse drugs or drink alcohol excessively can become used to numbing or suppressing what their bodies are really feeling and needing.
Yet, our bodies are also something we always have with us, and awareness of our physical selves can be an important way to bring out attention to the present moment. When our minds feel too filled with anxiety, depression, or troubling thoughts and addictive cravings, thinking about the feeling of your body and the way it moves through space can be an important way to feel calmer and awake in the present moment.
Here are some ways you can better understand the importance of this practice of "mindful movement," and use it to help you in your recovery.
Try Slow:
Many people recognize the benefits of intense cardiovascular exercise as a way to maintain your health and well-being. However, recent research has suggested that only doing energetic exercise can be akin to eating an unbalanced diet. Moving slowly and deliberately, aware of your every move can be an important way to connect your mind and body in ways that can be enormously beneficial to your health.
Developing a solid "body sense" links different parts of your brain and body together, which can strengthen your body's parasympathetic and immune systems, leapfrogging your efforts to benefit your health, and increasing a sense of stability and happiness in your day-to-day life.
While going for a run, walk, or swim has great benefits in and of itself, there is a possibility you could end up injuring yourself through doing too much or using an incorrect technique, or putting too much stress on certain muscle groups. Paying careful attention to what your body is really going through can help you practice and exercise in the best way possible, so you truly support your needs.
Managing Pain:
Some of the most effective use of movement awareness has been in helping people cope with pain and discomfort. Several small-scale peer-reviewed studies, including one published in 2003 in The Journal of Rheumatology, and another from 2009's journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, have shown that patients with chronic pain experienced dramatic results in their healing from regularly practicing yoga or tai chi.
Often, when people feel physical pain, their first impulse is to try to escape from it, or take a painkiller to get rid of it. Yet, in fact, the best way to deal with pain is to shine a direct spotline upon it. Your body is wonderfully adept at sending you signals that let you know what parts of yourself are most in need of healing or relaxation. Pain can often best be understood as a strong "signal" that you have a physical need that should be cared for.
Although it's perfectly natural to want pain to go away, taking a moment to "listen" to the pain can help you find a real solution to what is wrong. For example, sometimes a headache is a sign you need more water, or a chance to stop and rest. Reducing stress, slowing down, and paying attention can help you harness the body's innate healing abilities.
Getting Started:
There are a wide variety of opportunities to practice gentle exercises that can build your ability to recognize your own body's internal cues and recognize its needs. Yoga, tai chi, qigong, and aikido are all common ways to practice gentle and intentional movement.
Dance, modern dance especially, can also be a great way to practice being aware of your body's positions and movements. However you choose to exercise in this important way, you can find that building your body sense can help you live in a more healthy and less stressful way.

This thread my give you some ideas how to do what you are looking for.
But you will probably want to do something like http:/

To tag onto George1421 if you simply use \\computersharingprinteripaddressorname\printer this quickly connect it for them those this would be a temporary connection.
Sep 20, 2011 at 10:36 UTC
If you are trying to link to a webpage on the printer that would work fine however browser restrictions will like prevent you creating a link that will open up a folder (or a file:// resource).

Can I do this IIS thing on an XP Pro machine? I unfortunately don't have a real print server :(
Sep 20, 2011 at 10:56 UTC
Yes windows printing is the same if it is XP or Windows server. But as Nick-C has pointed out IE may block attempting to connect to printers this way because of browser restrictions. I know with IE6 I use to be able to have people map printers by keying in the \\<printserver>\<printername> in the address line of the browser. But that quit working when we upgraded to IE7. That is why we went with the shortcut route in the start menu. But in your case it might work OK.

Marea carbon fibre chaise
Product Description
Merea is just four millimetres thick at the edge yet is immensely strong due to its all carbon construction. No conventional material has the strength to allow such a structure to take the stresses of use.
Built up of two totally separate carbon sections, anchored together at a critical strain point by the central titanium hub, its rakish profile is almost invisible when viewed from the side and takes the form of the chaise longue to a cantilevered extreme.
Despite its strength, enough flexure has been designed into the laminate to allow the piece to change shape slightly under load.
Due to this dynamic flexure CHL- 002 fits the reclined body perfectly, removing any need for padding, much like the lightweight seats of racing cars.
You can however personalise your chaise with the optional trim offered, not only to complement the aesthetic of the piece but also to protect the highly finished composite surface from possible wear in regular use. Trim materials are fabricated from high quality products such as Alcantara and Connolly leather in any colour (link) you choose, we can also match your colour sample.
Customisation doesn't stop at the colour of trimming but extends to every aspect of your chaise. The colour and finish of the carbon surfaces (link) are yours to choose as is the colour and finish of the titanium hub, which is individually engraved with the build number of your chaise, again, in your colour).
Just fifty examples will be meticulously built up by hand from twenty two layers of three different weaves of carbon fibre prepreg cloth each over the course of several weeks.
No two will be the same.
There are no reviews yet.

Q: Does eating Turkey really help increase serotonin and make my xmass dreams more funky.
Firstly Turkey does help increase serotonin intake BUT this does not make xmass or thanksgiving dreams more funky.
If your like me, on xmass or thanksgiving day you eat some Turkey, some bread, fruits, salads, a few roast vegetables, maybe some dip and a whole lot of pudding. While you do this you often also drink a substantial amount of Alcohol. Which as you can guess is actuly our "weirdness" culprit. Alcohol is the big doosey here for every article on how serotonin alone (not just Turkey) affects sleep, depression, etc., there are at least 5 more on Alcohol and its effect on sleep and the body. Your weird xmass dreams are also effected because, you guessed it, you expect to have them. You have had them in the past, everyone talks about them and its a fun way to spend the rest of the day when you wake up and don't feel like moving as you have a pretty full belly.
Turkey and its effect on sleep is partly myth, partly reality. Preprocessed Turkey (like deli-meat) will be different to non-preprocessed (fresh cooked at home) as well, due what they do to processed meat (more salt, more fat, more accessible protein). If you really want a deit that will give you better "happy dreams" I am afraid that 1 meal Turkey is more likely to just give you a case of gas. Serotonin intake is also affected by everything else you consume on xmass day. And the thing is messing around with Serotonin isn't something we should just do because we like weird dreams.
Serotonin doesn't just give us the "happy" feeling, it also does other stuff, and having lots of it will actuly make you nuts. Were talking barking-foam-mad-dog mental asylum nuts here. You want to increase and decrease serotonin slowly and not without the help of real doctor or psychiatrist.
Eating heaps of Turkey for a while may make your feelings, dreams and behavior change ever so slightly, but the serotonin is converted by your body, your body will stop converting it when you reach whatever level is normal for you and the rest will just end up in the toilet.
If you want to change your diet to get better dreams your better off doing, you guessed it, what every health expert pretty much tells you about diet. Mostly fruit and vegetables, medium grain and pulse, some meat and cheese; not to much and plenty of fresh water; Skip out on Caffeine and Alcohol drinks. Although yes alcohol helped you with the "weird" dream, the "weird" dream effect is diminishing. The longer and more alcohol you drink, the more likely you are to do damage and cause issues.

Are you a patient of Michael J. Gordon, MD?
5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Removal
Staying "Abreast" of New Opportunities. Denver, CO
During Consult: Dr. Gordon was very thorough and I did not feel rushed into making a decision whatsoever. He seems to be a very precise type of person and a very skilled plastic surgeon practicing for 25+ years (teaches at University of Colorado Anshutz Medical Hospital), so I hope that his high quality skills will transfer to the actual surgery result! Update After Surgery: The surgery went great and I could not have asked for a better result honestly! Dr. Gordon far exceeded my expectations in being able to remove the one implant and then match up my breasts so well for them being so different (Natural G cup vs. implanted DDD cup). The surgery was 6.5 hours and he did a PHENOMENAL job! He is extraordinarily precise and very "exact" in his manner, and what a perfect type of person to be a plastic surgeon! I will be forever grateful and I LOVE my new lighter chest! I can't wait to start exercising for real again and I'm so thankful to have a new lease on life! Thank you Dr. Gordon! I will definitely recommend him to everyone!
58yrs, 40J, 5'7", 220 Lbs - Dr. Gordon - Denver, CO
Have only met for info so far, but I think he is great! Found some online information about him, i.e. doctors, hospital info type websites. When doctors where surveyed about who they would want to perform surgery on them if needed, they chose Dr. Gordon. THAT does wonders for any questions. Will update as I go along. Or, after surgery.

MARGATE — Allen Pergament, better known as Boo, takes a map of the old Steel Pier with him everywhere he goes. Because the map is in his mind.
Pergament can lead a tour of the place as it was when he was going as a kid, starting almost 70 years ago.
"On the way out," he says, seeing the route from the Boardwalk back over the ocean as he speaks, visitors would pass glass enclosures known as the Promenade, which housed "exotic birds and animals. Monkeys, macaws ... And at the end of that was the stall where they kept the Diving Horses."
He keeps going in his memory, farther back still. "You get to the end, and there's the Diving Bell," Pergament says, describing a signature attraction that drew lines of customers eager to pay for a trip from The Pier straight down — to the ocean floor and back. "And you know what you saw down there? Mud."
But Pergament, who grew up in Atlantic City's South Inlet, visiting Steel Pier every chance he got, doesn't have to just rely on his memory for what was where when on the famed pier.
Because this hometown historian also has "thousands and thousands" of Steel Pier pictures, starting about the time it was built in 1898 and showing its changes and developments over the decades until it was destroyed by fire in 1978. He has actual architectural drawings of the structure at points in its history, and a collection of program books and newspaper ads trumpeting the stars who would draw the crowds that week — live and on The Pier's movie screens.
He has a book of original pictures assembled by the longtime owner, Frank T. Gravatt. He has original Steel Pier signs, and original water skis used by the stars of The Pier's popular Water Circus. And he has much more than that on an oceanfront institution whose history has been revived in local memories lately, since The Press started publishing excerpts from "Steel Pier, Atlantic City: Showplace of the Nation."
The book, by Steve Liebowitz, a former pier visitor obsessed with the place for decades, tells the story of The Pier in 258 coffee-table-sized pages packed with pictures. Roughly half his book's pictures come from Pergament's collection, the author estimates.
"Boo was irreplaceable," says Liebowitz, of Owings Mills, Md., who figures he made at least six visits to Pergament's personally collected museum of Atlantic City history — which is nicknamed the "Booseum" and stuffed into a spare bedroom of the Margate home the historian shares with his wife, Marlene.
"He has so much stuff in there that when it came time for me to do research — on the Diving Horse, or on dates — he could go back into very specific things," the author adds. "Who knows what all he has in there? Who knows who's buried alive in that room?"
But Pergament, who is 79 and retired from South Jersey Gas Co., appears to know where everything is in his museum — even if the logic of his cataloguing is an utter mystery to an outsider. To make his historic points about The Pier, he goes through his pictures era by era, showing what came when and what replaced it.
The pictures are all protected by plastic sleeves and lined up in plastic crates that their owner can reach into on command. To actually display every picture he has, in more standard museum style, Pergament would likely need not just his whole house, but every wall in all his neighbors' houses — and then a few more blocks worth of houses beyond that.
Pergament has led close to 150 talks on Atlantic City history in recent years, since he went public with his passion for the subject. He's not surprised at the interest Liebowitz's book has generated, because he likes to start his presentations by asking his audience about their memories.
"Ninety-nine times out of 100, they bring up the Steel Pier or the Diving Horse," Pergament says. "The number-one Atlantic City icon, in my humble opinion, is the Diving Horse. ... It overcomes all the others — Mr. Peanut, the (Absecon) Lighthouse, the rolling chairs. There's nothing that can match it."
So naturally, Pergament has researched the history of the Diving Horse, which, despite its decidedly East Coast location, traces its roots to an Old West frontiersman named Doc Carver.
Carver, a contemporary and friend of such legends as Wild Bill Hickock and Buffalo Bill Cody, may have ridden the first diving horse himself in 1881 — when a bridge broke over the Platte River in Nebraska as he crossed it on his horse, Pergament says.
The Booseum has an extensive collection of Carver pictures and references, but nothing in Atlantic City — because Carver died between the time he signed a contract with Steel Pier and when horses actually started diving off the platform in 1929.
But Carver's son, Al, was with the act when it got to The Pier. And Pergament became friendly with the son's wife, Sonora Carver, one of the first Diving Horse riders — and the beloved subject of the 1991 Disney movie, "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken," about how she kept plunging down with the horses for 11 years after she went blind on a 1931 dive.
Pergament has more Steel Pier stuff than could ever fit into one newspaper story — or even one book. And he has a burning concern for making sure his facts are straight. When he starts into his horse history, he warns a notebook-carrying visitor, "You better put it this way: 'Steel Pier's World Famous High Diving Horse.'"
Liebowitz, the author, came away impressed with the historian's insistence on accuracy.
"He doesn't want speculation. Anybody can speculate, but the document is what tells the whole story," Liebowitz says. "He hears all the stories, but he'll tell you, you can't really believe all the stories. ... As a historian, sometimes it's hard to find what's real and what isn't."
The writer emailed Pergament often, sometimes asking intricate details from an 80-year story that changed regularly. Liebowitz says the historian would try exhaustively to find the answer — and made it clear when he couldn't.
"He'd say, 'I don't really know the fact 100 percent, but this is the best I could find.' He's very up on that," Liebowitz says. "He just really wants to make sure everything is historically correct, and sometimes that's hard to find — especially when you're going through something like Steel Pier. It's a giant, tremendous project, because there were so many things going on, so many facets to it."
But it definitely helps a historian to keep a map of the place in his head — plus a room packed with pictures, programs, documents and more. Much, much more.

Recorded executions worldwide surged by more than 50 % last year to the highest level in a quarter-century, a human rights group said Wednesday.
Amnesty International cited the 3 executions that Japan carried out in 2015 as contributing to a total of 1,634 worldwide. The tally does not include China, where the figure is considered a state secret.
"The rise in executions last year is profoundly disturbing," Amnesty Secretary-General Salil Shetty said. "In 2015 governments continued relentlessly to deprive people of their lives on the false premise that the death penalty would make us safer."
In its report, Amnesty leveled additional criticism at Japan for executing or holding on death row prisoners with mental or intellectual disabilities.
One of the inmates killed last year was 89-year-old Masaru Okunishi. He spent 46 years on death row, fighting to clear his name in the murders of five women. He said his confessions were forced and sought a retrial on nine occasions.
"Until the end he was fighting to clear his name. He is a good example of why the authorities in Japan should review their criminal justice system," Amnesty spokeswoman Chiara Sangiorgio told Kyodo News on Wednesday.
Sangiorgio urged Japan to follow the lead of the United States and initiate a debate on the death penalty. Some activists say replacing the punishment with life imprisonment without parole would have little political cost for the government.
Japanese activists echoed the criticism. Taku Fukada of lobby group Forum 90 said the high rate of executions under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - his current administration has put 16 prisoners to death - and rising numbers of inmates on death row goes against the global trend toward abolition.
Fukada said the introduction of the lay judge system in 2009 has resulted in individuals being unable to appeal to the nation's highest court, due to speedier convictions.
"Many people who were sentenced to death cannot defend themselves by expressing their remorse for what they did or by providing new evidence" in seeking an appeal, Fukada said.
"Whether they appeal or not, we must send all cases of capital punishment to the Supreme Court before finalizing the sentence - a fundamental step taken in other countries such as the United States. Otherwise, the number of people on death row will continue to rise."
The latest 2 were hanged on March 25, a solemn day in the Christian calendar known as Good Friday. Some activists considered the timing insensitive.
On the day, Amnesty slammed the 2 executions as "reprehensible," alleging a failure of leadership by Abe. "It is long overdue for Japan to abolish this cruel and inhumane punishment," Hiroka Shoji, an Amnesty researcher said in a statement responding to the deaths.
The 2 victims had spent 5 and 10 years on death row. Former nurse Junko Yoshida, 56, was convicted for conspiring with other women to kill 2 of their husbands for insurance payouts. Yasutoshi Kamata, 75, was convicted of the murders of 4 women and a 9-year-old girl.
Advocates of penal reform point to problems with Japan's handling of death-row inmates. They are typically kept in solitary confinement, prevented from speaking to fellow prisoners and deprived of most contact from outside - ostensibly to maintain their peace of mind.
Solitary confinement is widely seen as fueling mental health problems. Iwao Hakamada, who walked free in 2014 after more than 4 decades on death row, developed dementia during his 45 years of isolation and is mostly unable to communicate.
"Death-row prisoners are given only limited opportunities to talk with their families, attorneys and friends. . . . People can easily lose their minds if kept in such a situation for years," said Fukada of Forum 90. "Japan continues to hang people who have completely lost their ability (to apply for a retrial). I don't think that's right."
There are currently 124 inmates on death row in Japan, of whom 89 are seeking retrials and 22 have appealed for amnesties, according to the Justice Ministry.

In 2015, India imposed death penalty on 75 people and executed 1
In 2015, India executed 1 person and imposed death penalty on 75 others. While most of them were convicted of murder, 4 were sentenced for rape.
That takes the number of people in India on death row to 320, according to the London-based Amnesty International.
On July 30, 2015, India carried out its lone execution of the year - also the 1st since 2013 - when Yakub Abdul Razak Memon was hanged at the Nagpur Central jail in Maharashtra. Memon was convicted under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act, 1987, for his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts that killed 257. Since 1999, only 4 persons have been executed in India.
In all, at least 1,634 people were executed in 25 countries in 2015 - up from 1,061 in 2014 - according to the Amnesty report. The report excludes data on China, where data on death penalty is a state secret.
"This is the highest number of executions Amnesty International has recorded in more than 25 years, excluding those in China," the report said. "On the other hand, 4 countries abolished the death penalty for all crimes. This is the highest number of countries to fully abolish the death penalty in 1 year for almost a decade."
Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan accounted for 89% of all executions in 2015. "The number of executions recorded in Iran and Saudi Arabia increased by 31% and 76% respectively, and executions in Pakistan were the highest that Amnesty International has ever recorded in that country,' the report said.

They Wanna Shoot the Ewings in Dallas County Buildings, But First Need Commissioners' OK
Larry Hagman and director Michael Robin on the set of Dallas
TNT/Warner Horizon
Twice in November the Dallas County Commissioners Court approved requests from reality-TV crews to film inside the county jail -- first from Brits bearing 3D cams, then from the National Geographic Channel. But tomorrow, Dallas comes to Dallas County: Per the commissioners court agenda Warner Horizon Television, which is behind that next-gen Dallas reboot set to bow on TNT this summer, is asking the county commissioners for their OK to shoot on county property. In return, Horizon will fork over a $25,000 security deposit and $1,000 for every day camera roll and cast John Wiley Price as J.R.'s long-lost son. Or, perhaps, not.
As you may recall, the city council OK'd spending $235,000 last summer to finish out Jack Matthews's South Lamar warehouse; council was told Horizon would go elsewhere without a proper facility. Principal photography began in October, with the expectation that they'd be here till "the end of January." Per the contract, Horizon wants to shoot on county property early this month. And where? "Locations could potentially include unoccupied jails, court space, and general office buildings." Too bad they weren't here June 27.

|Shosuro Taberu
|Dojo of Lies Master Sensei
Shosuro Taberu was the aging Master Sensei of the Dojo of Lies. Few had seen the horrors that he had seen, and he became a worthy sensei because of it. Bayushi Shoju had a uncle, who was abandoned by his Shosuro wife with his toddler child, Taberu. Taberu had several sons. His favorite was a play writer who had little talent (according to Toturi Naseru). [1]
Demeanor Edit
Taberu was a middle child, neither outspoken or shy. He was not an exemplary swordsman, although he did have some skill with the katana. All in all, he seemed distinctly mundane. Taberu made himself an insignificant being, making an art of it. [2]
Appearance Edit
Taberu was a slender, effeminate man. His movements were graceful, which had caused some to refer to him as "The Poison Crane." [3]
Early years Edit
His father was uncle of the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju, but he bore the Shosuro name because his mother left his father when he was still a youth. Everything that had ever been given to him had appeared as good fortune, from his father's untimely death to the inheritance of certain lands that once belonged to the Boar Clan. [4]
Ancestral Sword of the Scorpion Edit
Taberu was supposed to be the legitimate guardian of Itsuwari, the ancestral sword of the Scorpion Clan. Instead, his cousin Bayushi Shoju chose to break tradition, and carried Itsuwari himself. Taberu was bitter that this honor was stolen from him, and threw himself into his work to console himself. Taberu earned the nickname the 'Poison Crane'. [3]
Imperial Court Edit
When Bayushi Kachiko, Shoju's wife, became the Emperor's aid, Taberu was placed as her highest retainer. His duty would always overcome his pride, making him worthy. [3]
Court Ally Edit
Taberu's friendship with Ide Tadaji, the Unicorn ambassador to the Imperial Court, who he met with waiting for an audience with a Lion Clan ambassador, was long and storied. The two were legendary for their long games of Go. [5] [6] When Taberu was not at the Scorpion Guest Home in the Forbidden City he was playing go in the Imperial Water Gardens. [7]
Blood and War Edit
Scorpion Coup Edit
Taberu was still young when the Scorpion Clan crumbled into dust following the Scorpion Coup. He had been appointed as commander of the occupied Toyotomi district of Otosan Uchi [8] and during the fight he ordered to burn alive a group of Matsu prisoners. [9]
Scorpion Exile Edit
After the Clan War the Scorpion were banished to the Burning Sands, and Taberu was sure that he would perish. [10] He swore revenge against the Imperial Court, who had permitted the Scorpion exile, and the slaughter of the Court ordered by the returned Toturi I looked it to him. [11]
Hatamoto Edit
Taberu was the Hatamoto of the Shosuro Daimyo, Shosuro Hametsu. [10]
Finding Shosuro Daimyo's Heir Edit
After the Scorpion returned from their exile and were restored as a Great Clan, Taberu returned sought out the Shosuro Daimyo's secret heir. Taberu met Shosuro Yudoka and during their dinner he informed the ninja about his true lineage. Yudoka refused to believe it, but Taberu told him it was certain because he had added a deadly dose of Warui Paseri poison to the meal, and Hametsu's son had been carefully made immune to this poison when he was young. [10]
Chased by the Lying Darkness Edit
Taberu found himself hunted by the Lying Darkness in Otosan Uchi, and the constant life of blood and war forged a cold and ruthless man. He would do anything if it furthered the interests of his clan, even murdering with his own hands or sending hapless young talented Scorpion off to their deaths. Even the masters of the Shosuro Assassin academy found him unsettling. [12]
Sensei Edit
A generation of courtiers were bred under his supervision and the fruition of this work came to bear when the influence of the Crane in the courts began to wane. [12]
Poet Edit
If there was anything left of his humanity it shone through in his poetry. Taberu was considered one of the premier poets of the Empire by many, and it became a great honor to be invited to one of his recitals. Even so, his duty still takes presedence, and during the recitals he will dispatch his minions among the crowd relying on his talents to lower the guard of the visiting lords. Many secrets have been discerned this way. [12]

Transcript of The Life of a Star
The Life of a Star Protostar Nebula All stars start out as a nebula, a large cloud of gas and dust spread out in a immense volume A contracting cloud of gas and dust with enough mass to form a star is a protostar. There are 2 types of protostars; low/medium mass and high mass Star A star is born when nuclear fusion starts in its core. A star's life reflects on it's mass. The less mass, the longer it lives. There are 2 types of stars; low/medium mass and high mass Giants Giants are stars that are starting to spread out. They retain out the same mass as the orginal star, but are much bigger. There are 2 types of giants; red giants and supergiants After the giants, there 2 possiblities, a planetary nebula or a supernova Planetary Nebula and Super Nova Planetary nebulas come from low/medium mass stars. When the low/medium mass star turns into a red giant, pieces of the star start to drift off into space, creating a planetary nebula. Supernovas are the results of a high mass star exploding after it runs out of fuel. Supernovas release alot of energy. White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes White dwarfs are the core of a low/medium mass star. When a planetary nebula spreads out enough, it reveals the star's core. Neutron stars are, as the name suggests, made out of neutrons. They are exetremely hot and are formed after a supernova. The other result of a supernova is the black hole, a super heavy "vacuum" that sucks up everything in its range. ENDFull transcript


text: Just wanted to see some opinions on why RM can't be used for blogs. Few assumptions on the RM: options to disable download functions based on category a tab manager, enable/disable review.. Comment system a forum selection option for each categories. (btw these options are available in Bobster's showcase.. not sure bout the last though). If we can assign a node to each category.. say use "Blog" node for Blogs and use Jake's node as tab.. Bingo. As far as the layout of RM resource page is concerned it is very "blog". Just to clarify, i need a article/blog layout for each post and a comment system like the one in RM with author's response. I am not sure if there are more functions i might need in blogs... I am looking for the very basics. And I am gonna need the RM anyway for other purposes like downloads .. so was thinking what's wrong with using RM for blogs as well by setting up a category for blogs. Please prove me why this is not the way.. to avoid mistakes

Tiny Treats
"There was coffee. Life would go on."
These lines are from William Gibson's brilliant short story "The Winter Market," and pretty much sum up my and Gary's take on mornings. (We use the quotation all the time; it's one of our tag lines.) So imagine our distress this morning when our industrial-strength coffee maker died. We have an emergency-backup French press, so we survived, although we consider the coffee quality inferior. Tonight we went shopping for a new coffee maker, though.
We got a Krups at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It was pretty pricy, but this is an essential home item, so it's worth the investment. Then we went next door to World Market, because Gary was thinking about getting more Adirondack chairs for our deck.
"Honey," I said, "we have enough chairs." In fact, we have chairs stacked in the garage we don't even use regularly. We used them for Dad's memorial service last July; we'll use them again for our Worldcon dinner party this coming August. We need them when we need them, but we just don't entertain that much.
So we didn't get any more chairs. Gary got a $29 side table, though, because he couldn't stand the idea of going into Memorial Day Weekend without any deck furniture to assemble.
Meanwhile, I browsed around the store. I love World Market because it has some of everything, and also brings back happy memories. In 2001, I spent Christmas with my father in Mississippi. He'd had quadruple bypass about a month beforehand, and he really needed me there. It was very much a turning point for the better in our relationship. Before I went down, I asked if he wanted anything from Reno for Christmas, and he said, "A baby elephant." So I went to World Market and got a bunch of elephant stuff: elephant ornaments, an elephant mug, an elephant wall hook, an elephant picture frame, and so forth. That shopping expedition was really fun -- one of my best Christmas memories -- and since then, the elephant items at World Market have always cheered me up.
I needed cheering up today. I'm fed up with the book (although I'm doggedly plowing through it), completely stuck on -- and panicking about -- the homily I have to write for Sunday, being pecked to death by small pieces of paperwork from a blizzard of sources, and basically out of sorts. I worked out on the elliptical for forty minutes before dinner, which helped quite a bit, but I was still cranky.
So I wandered through World Market, smiling at elephant soap dishes and paperweights and wall hangings and mosaics. I didn't buy any elephant things, though. There's just too much stuff in the house (including the elephant gifts I gave Dad that Christmas, and inherited after he died), and anyway, we'd just gotten the expensive coffee maker. I decided I could get a few very small items if they'd get used up, rather than sitting and gathering dust. So I bought two dark chocolate caramels with sea salt (a decadent little treat Gary and I shared in the car on the way home), a small box of fruit-shaped marzipan (because I love marzipan and my mother always gave me some for Christmas), a small tube of jasmine-scented hand lotion for my purse, and a slightly larger bottle of orange-scented body lotion to use after I shower.
Now my hands smell good, and I've eaten a little chocolate, and I have the marzipan stored away as a future treat. So I'm feeling better.
And there will be coffee tomorrow morning. Life will go on.
