KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A few thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs' 41-38 loss to the San Diego Chargers:
What it means: The Chiefs lost their second straight game to fall to 9-2. They could still end the day tied for first place in the AFC West if the Denver Broncos lose to the Patriots Sunday night in New England.
Stock watch: Quarterback Alex Smith for much of the day was having his best game of the season. But he sailed a pass in the middle of the third quarter well over the head of wide receiver Donnie Avery, and the interception by safety Marcus Gilchrist gave the Chargers the ball at the Kansas City 16. From there, the Chargers scored the touchdown that put them ahead. Smith later rallied the Chiefs, but the Chargers eventually had too much for the Kansas City defense, which allowed almost 500 yards. Rookie cornerback Marcus Cooper had his second straight subpar game. He had particular trouble covering wide receivers Keenan Allen and Eddie Royal on shallow crossing routes.
Rushless: The Chiefs played much of the game without their two top pass-rushers, outside linebackers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. Each left the game in the first half with an injury, Hali to his ankle and Houston to his elbow. The Chiefs, ahead 7-3 when Hali left the lineup and 14-3 when Houston left the game, clearly weren't the same team after their departures. The Chargers went on two long touchdown drives immediately after the Chiefs began playing without either one. Their replacements were veteran Frank Zombo, signed as a free agent from the Green Bay Packers during the offseason, and Dezman Moses, who was claimed off waivers from the Packers to start the regular season.
What's next: Control of the AFC West race could rest with the outcome of next Sunday's game against the Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. The Broncos won 27-17 in their first meeting last week in Denver.

I've talked before about writers being part of a wonderful, tight knit community. There is certainly something therapeutic for many writers about the fine art of writing, but for most, it's not nearly enough and they want to find an audience for their work.
Nick Morgan from forbes.com talks about the similarities between Harvard Business Publishing and Harlequin, two houses that have vastly different lists. But in many ways, according to Morgan, their business model is similar. Build a community and find readers by marketing directly to that community.
It's not novel, and he doesn't talk much about Harvard, but he does shed some light about the things that Harlequin is doing (and much of it they've always done) to build real relationships with its readers. A Harlequin rep even talks about creating a place where "friendship can grow". And seeking out the places where their readers go. I love the example of how decades ago, they put books in groceries stores because that's where women were.
It's so important to remember that while writing and reading are often solitary endeavors, it's what happens next that connects us all. So, keep writing, keep reading, and keep connecting with other members of those communities and building the strong bonds that allow us to share the collective experience of reading.

Apple's UX/UI has been getting worse for a while now. There were changes to iOS 7 that I really didn't like, but I figured I'd get used to them. I didn't. iOS 8 had a handful of annoyances I assumed would be resolved in an update. They weren't. Now we have iOS 9, and it's basically another downgrade to me. It all adds up to me being frustrated and annoyed with Apple in a way I never have before. And the OS X "upgrade" to iTunes and from iPhoto to Photos as made it significantly more difficult to perform tasks I do on a daily basis.
If I weren't so locked in to Apple, I'd switch to Android. If they continue on this trajectory, I may switch anyway.
iOS 9
Not everybody is having these problems, but a quick search shows that I am far from alone.
- My devices are sluggish. It frequently takes 3 or 4 tries to get the screen to respond to a text or a swipe. TouchID is so slow I don't bother to use it to unlock my phone.
- Switching between landscape and portrait is frequently very slow. It doesn't get stuck like it did in iOS 8, but I do still have to restart the app from time to time.
- I can no longer sync new apps or update apps on my iPhone or iPad.
- App switching is so much less useful. How useful are these large thumbnails? You tell me. Unless I'm switching to the app I used most recently, I use search instead.
- Search has gone downhill too. You used to be able to search using the second word of an app. Not any more. You have to remember the exact name of the app.
- Apple has installed another unwanted app — News — that can't be deleted.
- I have only sporadically received notifications of text messages since iOS 7. Not fixed in iOS 8 or iOS 9.
- The difficulty switching between iMessage and SMS in a single thread that appeared in iOS8 has not been resolved.
iOS 8
- Switching between iMessage and sms in a single message thread is completely unintuitive. I never figured out how to do it. This continued in iOS 9. At some point I found a kludgy solution, but it no longer works for me.
- After I upgraded, I got only sporadic notifications of new text messages. This was also not resolved in iOS 9.
- The device regularly gets stuck in landscape or portrait mode. I have to restart the app, and sometimes restart the phone to fix it.
iOS 7
Flat design 1. I get it. Skeuomorphism seems dated. The flat icons may be pretty, but they all look too similar now. Too many have the same color scheme, so nothing jumps out at first glance. Photos looks like Chrome looks like Contacts.
- Flat design 2. I can't use the alarm any more. The giant SNOOZE button went away, replaced by difficult-to-read-at-6am blue text. Additionally, the alarm and timer have opposite UIs. On the alarm, the blue text in the middle is Tap to Snooze. On the timer, the blue text is Tap to Stop. Guess how many times I've inadvertently turned off my alarm and overslept?
Holy crap. Photos.
- It's a bitch to find anything. It would have been fine if I had put all my photos in albums with iPhoto, but I didn't. Did anyone? Now to find an older photo, I have to look in iPhoto moments, or remember the date it was taken. Again, fuck that.
- The option to "Open with…" is gone. I can no longer open a photo in any 3rd party app. I have to export the photo before I can use it elsewhere, and I end up doing this several times per day. Fuck that.
iTunes 12 bring us to yet another decline in usability, especially if you have a large music library.
- The sidebar has disappeared. Along with it the artist or album list view has disappeared. Instead you get a screen with giant album artwork, making it cumbersome to quickly browse your collection.
- You can restore these views, but you have to do it EACH TIME YOU LAUNCH iTUNES! And there are several steps to do the restore, and I keep forgetting what they are. So I no longer browse, I only search.

The presidency of George W. Bush began on January 20, 2001, when he was inaugurated as the 43rd President of the United States. The oldest son of former president George H.W Bush, George W. Bush was elected president in the 2000 general election, and became the second US president whose father had held the same office (John Quincy Adams was the first). After two recounts, Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore filed a lawsuit for a third. The Supreme Court highly controverisal decision in Bush v. Gore resolved the dispute. The Florida Secretary of State certified Bush as the winner of Florida. Florida's 25 electoral votes gave Bush, the Republican candidate candidate, 271 votes, enough to defeat Al Gore. Bush lost the 2004 presidential election to his former Secretary of State Colin Powell His second term ended on January 20, 2005. As president, Bush pushed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut program, and also pushed for Socially Conservative efforts such as the faith based welfare Nearly 8 million immigrants came to the United States from 2000 to 2005 – more than in any other five-year period in the nation's history. Almost half entered illegally.[2] After the terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001, Bush declared a global War on Terrorism and, in October 2001, ordered an invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, destroy Al-Qaeda, and to capture Osama Bin Laden. In March 2003, Bush received a mandate from the US Congress to lead an Invasion of Iraq, despite it was a violation of the United Nations Security Council.
During the 2004 Presidential Election, Colin Powell accused the President of voter fraud in the previous. He then ordered the results of the 2000 Election, and it was soon revealed that Bush had created numerous names for delegates in Florida, Iowa, and New Hampshire, proving that the original election was rigged. Colin Powell quickly rose in the poles and won the election.

The Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists (5 ed.) Quick reference
Over 2,500 entries
Covering Western art from the ancient Greeks to the present day, this best-selling and authoritative dictionary is more wide-ranging than any comparable reference work. It contains clear and concise entries on styles and movements, materials and techniques, and museums and galleries. It also includes biographical entries for artists, critics, collectors, dealers, and patrons, with places and full dates of birth and death (in many instances correcting misinformation that has found its way into other sources).

Benezit Dictionary of Asian Artists Reference library
Over 4,700 entries
The Benezit Dictionary of Asian Artists consists of more than 4,700 entries on Asian artists representing all regions of the continent, including the Middle East, and every era from antiquity to the present. The content is drawn from the most recent edition of the Benezit Dictionary of Artists (Editions Gründ, 2006), supplemented by fifty new entries on contemporary artists commissioned for this publication and over one hundred updated biographies.
Although most of the articles are on East Asian artists, primarily from China and Japan, the overall geographic and chronological scope is considerable, representing artists throughout the continent, and from ancient periods into the 21st century. This dictionary provides a compact, accessible collection of entries on Asian artists from ukiyo-e printmaker Hiroshige to Indian cubist painter Maqbool Fida Husain to Jin Dynasty painter Gu Kaizhi to Israeli artist Yaacov Agam. The artists specialize in a wide range of media, from calligraphy to performance art.
Entries provide concise narratives of artists' careers, and many include bibliographies, exhibition histories, collection holdings, or auction records; additional entries are illustrated with images of artists' signatures.
Benezit Dictionary of British Graphic Artists and Illustrators Reference library
Over 3,200 entries
The Benezit Dictionary of British Graphic Artists and Illustrators features over three thousand entries on British artists, ranging from contemporary cartoonists to medieval manuscript illuminators. The majority of the content was chosen from the most recent edition of the Benezit Dictionary of Artists (Editions Gründ, 2006), with more than ninety revised entries and sixty new ones, primarily on 19th- and 20th-century artists.
This work provides a compact, accessible collection of entries on printmakers, poster artists, illustrators, cartoonists, calligraphers, and illuminators either native to or active in the United Kingdom from the Middle Ages to the present. The Dictionary is therefore an essential reference for the rich history of British printmaking—both fine art prints as well as works for mass print media—and artistic activities related to the production of manuscripts and printed books. Because of Benezit's focus on European artists, particularly those active in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, this collection provides excellent coverage of these media during their most significant periods of development.
Entries provide concise narratives of artists' careers, and many include bibliographies, exhibition histories, collection holdings, or auction records; over 200 entries feature images of artists' signatures and monograms.
The Berkshire Dictionary of Chinese Biography Reference library
Over 130 entries
This publication, the first of its kind since 1898, represents the work of more than one hundred internationally recognized experts from nearly a dozen countries. It has been designed to satisfy the growing thirst of students, researchers, professionals, and general readers for knowledge about China. It makes the entire span of Chinese history manageable by introducing the reader to emperors, politicians, poets, writers, artists, scientists, explorers, and philosophers who have shaped and transformed China over the course of five thousand years. In 135 entries, ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 words and written by some of the world's leading China scholars, the Dictionary takes the reader from the important (even if possibly mythological) figures of ancient China to Communist leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. The in-depth essays provide rich historical context, and create a compelling narrative that weaves abstract concepts and disparate events into a coherent story. Cross-references between the articles show the connections between times, places, movements, events, and individuals.
The work features a range of appendices, including a timeline of key events, a pronunciation guide, a bibliography, lists of rulers and other prominent people, and other supplemental materials for students of Chinese history and culture.

New Republic via a GCR Update as of Oct. 4 2016
Compiled the early morning of 4 Oct. 2016 by Judy Byington, MSW, LCSW, ret, Author, "Twenty Two Faces," www.22faces.com, CEO, Child Abuse Recovery www.ChildAbuseRecovery.com
A. Oct. 3 2016 TNT Call RayRen98: Ray TNT Dinar
1. The Banks were optimistic that they would see the RV by Sat. That expectation has now shifted to Wed or Thurs of this week.
2. IMF announced Chinese Yuan was a reserve currency.
3. The Kurds have received their first payment from the HCL Agreement.
4. The GCR/RV was considered a done deal.
B. On Oct. 3 2016 Western States Open Mic Network AdminBill reported:
1. (morning) This week looks promising. Many are pointing to a conclusion. Banks are ready and need asset-backed currency to stimulate the bottom line.
2. (Later in the day): I was just informed by an international source that the final peg required to fund the RV has been accomlished. There is no looking back. This week is looking even better than an hour ago. Wed-Thurs
C. On Oct. 3 the Benjamin Fulford Update: Document Dump, Outright Fraud" - Fulford Report - 10.3.16 Documents leaked by US government personnel reveal in detail how the owners of Federal Reserve Board created the 2008 Lehman crisis as a way to steal vast sums from the people of the planet:
1. The documents show how an Indonesian by the name of Yohannes Riyadi used 700 tons of gold that originally belonged for former Indonesian President Soekarno to back a US$500 billion bond issue. This money was used to bribe senior Indonesian government officials, according to CIA officials based in Asia.
2. The 700 tons gold was then magically transformed by Khazarian mafia employed forgerer and fraudster Wilfredo Sarabia Saurin (DOB 2 Nov. 1954 according to Philippines passport) wil1 into 750,000 tons of gold backed certificates, the sources say.
3. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank then sent rights to the certificates to the Royal Bank of Scotland via payments to HSBC holdings. The certificates ended up at the Federal Reserve Board, who then transformed it into dollars in a sort of reverse alchemy.
4. The 23 trillion dollars thus magically created were used by the owners of the Federal Reserve Board to buy on the cheap assets around the world whose value had crashed because of the engineered Lehman shock crash. One CIA officer described the scam as the largest criminal theft of global assests in history using digital money and increasing the Khazarian mafia's ownership of the world's corporations and assets.
5. Various documents related to this fraud, including copies of the SWIFT transaction documents, can be seen in the above article.
6. Action against the Khazarian mafia and their Federal Reserve Board based fraudulent financial system was escalating. Last week document shredding trucks were seen parked in front of the Fed's New York headquarters: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-29/just-spotted-front-new-york-fed-again

1. The start of the international business week when all markets worldwide were open for trading at the same time was at 6pm EST on Monday (10am in New Zealand on Tuesday).

Thus we are all waiting for the start of international business week to begin in earnest shortly on Monday evening. We are told even China is waiting patiently, although their markets and banks are all closed this week.
3. ATM machines in Mexico and Canada were taken down today, in order to remove fiat USD and replace with gold backed USN.
4. Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange was scheduled to make a career damning Hillary Clinton data dump during a morning announcement press conference in Berlin early in Tues. morning in the US (3 to 4am EDT).

Getty/Theo Wargo(LOS ANGELES) -- The Tribeca Film Festival opened in New York City Wednesday night with the premiere of Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives, a documentary about the legendary music industry executive influential in the careers of everyone from Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston to Alicia Keys and Barry Manilow.
An all-star concert featuring Franklin, Manilow, Jennifer Hudson, Carly Simon and Dionne Warwick was set to follow the screening, and Tribeca co-founder Robert DeNiro said that explains why the movie was chosen to kick off the festival."We felt that ..his film would be the best for opening the festival tonight and he has so much respect in the music world and you can see by who's gonna perform after," he said before the screening at Radio City Music Hall.
While often you hear musicians complaining about record industry executives, singer Judy Collins, a long-time friend of the 85-year-old Davis, said he's a different kind of record company guy.
"He's sort of our mentor and the person that we look to, not only musically, but Clive also, I think, has a very big heart when it comes to social activities and social principles and he always supports the best – not only in his artists, but also in the culture," she said.
Still, it's Davis' career in music that made him the subject of a documentary important enough to kick off a major film festival. Why? Saxophonist Kenny G explains, "He's the guy that brings the quality into the music industry. He just does. He finds it, he hears it, he puts the dots together, he figures out who's the right producer, who's the right artist, who's the right songwriter, how are you gonna promote it, where's it gonna go. And he just figures it all this stuff out and it just happens."
The Tribeca Film Festival runs through Sunday.

U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Rep. Jim Moran, (D-VA-8) announced today that the Air Force has decided not to relocate the Office of Scientific Research from its current site in Arlington to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. In January, Sens. Warner and Kaine and Rep. Moran wrote a letter urging the Air Force to reconsider the proposed move. The Office of Scientific Research employs 170 in the heart of Northern Virginia's technology corridor in Arlington.
Sen. Kaine asked Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James in today's Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about the status of the relocation plans. In response, Secretary James said, "the evaluation is completed, and it's staying put."
"I am very pleased that following our concerns, the Air Force has decided not to relocate the Office of Scientific Research from Arlington," Sen. Warner said. "This decision reflects the fact that Northern Virginia is recognized as an unparalleled hub for technology, defense and education."
"Today's announcement that the Air Force Office of Scientific Research will remain in Arlington is great news for Northern Virginia, and a true testament to the region's impressive and highly skilled workforce," said Sen. Kaine. "The scientists and researchers there love where they work, and love where they live -- that's Northern Virginia."
"The Air Force made the right decision to keep the Office of Scientific Research in Arlington," said Rep. Moran. "Besides being one of the best places to live, work, and raise a family, it's a nationally recognized hub of research and innovation that can't be replicated anywhere else."

Kaitei Takara Sagashi is a 1980 arcade game that was developed by K'K Tokki as a prototype and later sold to Namco, where it was completely rewritten.
A boat lowers the player towards the bottom of the screen. Try to avoid the fish or push left or right to fire a harpoon at them. When at the bottom, if you walk over one of treasure caches, you will be lowered into it. Then you will be raised back to the ship (again, avoid the fish).

The Tenma Clan had been established for hundreds of years. They had always kept their numbers small but do have their own little village within the Land of Fire. They don't have any affiliations with Konohagakure as they try to not be noticed by many people.
When they first set up they ultimately had a plan. The founder of the clan had gather a good number of people and had a special scroll that allowed a group of people to be transported to hell, to meet the King of Hell. It could only be used twice, once to get in and once to get out. He had gathered his fellow believers and used to scroll to be transported right to the King of Hell.
They had made it and as the scroll said the King would grant one wish and one wish only. The leader had already knew what he wanted, him and his group of followers to become a clan with the Rinnegan. The King was unable to do this since it was the few things out of his power. But, the King had an idea, he would grant to group of people to become a clan and to give their own personal Hell. The King had told them that their Affinities would be directly connected to this hell and would give them a special type of Kekkei Genkai.
The new clan had instantly accepted, and were ultimately teleported to their own hell, Jigoku. Right when they got there they were greeted with a sight of demons and ghouls. Then they were greeted by their King of Hell, King Tenma. He had helped the clan to develop their new found Kekkei Genkai and to help with techniques as King Tenma had mastered the Kekkei Genkai right from his creation.
Soon the clan had learned their Kekkei Genkai and teleported back to the over-world. From there they had built up a village and kept to themselves practicing with their Kekkei Genkai and talking with King Tenma. They not only train with their Kekkei Genkai but also train with Taijutsu as their Kekkei Genkai does boost it. Though by their Affinities being bound with their own hell they are given much more chakra reserves by unknown means.
Ever since the clan's Affinities had been bound to their personal hell their chakra reserves had immensely increase. Their chakra reserves can easily match up to Sages and Jinchuriki. Members of the clan that are of a young age do have more reserves then those that compare to their age. They have been feared for their huge chakra reserves.
The clan has their own Ninjutsu that seems like they can easily perfect them. All the Ninjutsu that they learn and create then it's shared throughout the clan so everyone can become masters. They do have a disability however. Even if you have a slight amount of heritage that is part of this clan then they cannot learn natures. Their Affinities are bound to their personal hell and are given the clans Kekkei Genkai instead of Natures. No matter how much the person tries it's impossible to to gain a Nature.
Since their Kekkei Genkai gives them a huge boost in Taijutsu then they thought it would be better to train themselves in Taijutsu. Without their Kekkei Genkai they are extremely well with Taijutsu and can take on most opponents. They have also been known to wield extensive strength. With their Kekkei Genkai, however, their Taijutsu and strength are immensely increased and can take on most opponents and will normally have the upper hand. Theiur strength is also increased so that just advances them that much farther.
The clan seems to have a disability with normal Fūinjutsu that aren't created within their clan. By using their Kekkei Genkai they can use certain Fūinjutsu's that can be both positive or negative. They seem to have ability to Fūinjutsu that the clan has created, anything that wasn't they can't learn even with the hardest training.

Saigoku-Utsushi-Reijyo in Tokushima Prefecture

Saigoku-Junrei (pilgrimage to the western countries of Japan) is the most famous pilgrimage in Japan. The Saigoku-junrei is composed of 33 Fudasho (temples), pilgrims walk on from the 1st fudasho (Seigantoji Temple) to the 33rd fudasho (Kegonji Temple). It distance is 1,100km, so the pilgrims have to endure severe travels. Saigoku-junrei was hard to achieve for common peoples, so that they made a mimic Saigoku-reijyo near their residence. It is called "Utsushi-Reijyo". There is a lot of Utsushi-reijyo in Japan. But it is difficult to think about the Utsushi-reijyo, because it includes much variance. It is necessary to divide the Utsushi-reijyos into various types. By whom it was set and where it was located on, with this two factors, Utsushi-reijyos can be divided four types. First is "Satoyama type", it was located on a small mountain by villagers, near their residence. Second is "Mura-utsushi type", it was located around village by. them. Third is "Shugou type", it was set in a temple collectively by a bonze. Forth is "Kuni-utsushi type", it was set on wide area by a group of bonzes. There are 73 Utsushi-reijos in Tokushima prefecture. 34 of 73 are the Satoyama type, 31 are the Shugou-type, 4 are the Mura-utsushi type, 2 are the Kuni-utsushi type. In Tokushima prefecture, the Satoyama type and the Shugou type are major, and the Kuni-utsushi type and the Mura-utushi type are scarcely. About the establishment year of Utsushi-reijyos, half of them did not be clear when they were set. Out of another half, 11 were made during Edo period (pre-modern times) and 21 were made after Meiji period (modern times). It is usually to assume Utsusi-reijyo to be made in the pre-modern times. Actually, Utsushi-reijyos in Tokushima, the number of Utsushi-reijyos in the modern times is more than its in pre-modern times. It will be necessary to reconsider about the establishment time of Utsushi-reijyo.

That's a great article!!! Brutus was certainly right. Thanks for posting!
The framers of the Constitution did not foresee the possibility of an anti-American president who would need to be removed immediately by an impeachment originating from among a majority of the populace, not the House of representatives. Now we see the flaw.
Robert Yates a Yankee I can agree with!
One of the most insightful of the Antifederalists was Robert Yates, a New York judge who, as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, withdrew because the convention was exceeding its instructions. Yates wrote as Brutus in the debates over the Constitution. Given his experience as a judge, his claim that the Supreme Court would become a source of almost unlimited federal over-reaching was particularly insightful.
History furnishes no example of a free republic, anything like the extent of the United States. The Grecian republics were of small extent; so also was that of the Romans. Both of these, it is true, in process of time, extended their conquests over large territories of country; and the consequence was, that their governments were changed from that of free governments to those of the most tyrannical that ever existed in the world.
-- Robert Yates
We have to post the entire Anti-Federalist papers on Free Republic!
Good read thank you for posting.
Anti-Federalist Bump!
Patrick Henry - "The rights of conscience, trial by jury, liberty of the press, all your immunities and franchises, all pretensions to human rights and privileges, are rendered insecure, if not lost, by this change, so loudly talked of by some, and inconsiderately by others."
Also, the necessity of a virtuous electorate to the continuance of our republic was widely discussed at the time. An immoral people will elect dirtbags. We've got the government we deserve, not the one designed by our Framers.
Also, why do we look to the failed systems of the past to point to the way it should be? And I don't see any suggestion of a better way proposed. 50 independent states without an elected central system is called Europe. Ours has been the most successful system yet, and all it needs is a few patriots with balls to set it right again! It is not irreparable; it is in need of some serious house-cleaning and return to the Founders' guiding intentions.
FReeper Book Club: The Debate over the Constitution, Federalist #21
A Publius/Billthedrill Essay | 20 May 2010 | Publius & Billthedrill
We will post two threads per week, every Monday and Thursday, starting February 1, for 55 weeks. Again, we will use the keyword freeperbookclub to mark these threads.
What is old has become new again. Its time to explore federalism and the philosophy of the Framers. The lessons of 1787 are just as valid today.
The thing that gets me is how the power hungry mobsters can use the Antifederalist criticisms as a plan. The intent was well documented as well as what not to do. We have to contend with the fact that what's been done wrong was done knowing it to be wrong.
-- Thomas Jefferson
With all honesty, the Anti-Federalists were correct. When studying the Anti-Federalist while attending Georgetown, their main problem was - "organization". They were not as organized as Hamilton, Madison ,and Jay -
"The Federalists".
Rarely are the Anti-Federalist discussed in Constitutional Law classes. Anti- Federalist books should be read time and time again by Conservatives.
In 1988, I was privileged to be asked to write the Introduction to the reprint of Robert Yates' Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Convention to Form the US Constitution. Judge Yates was the leading Anti-Federalist, and sought to defeat the Constitution in Philadelphia, and later in the New York Ratification Convention.
That lengthy Introduction pointed out that the ratification nearly failed in both Virginia and New York. Most importantly, it pointed out that the claims of the Anti-Federalists were coming true not in their time, but in ours.
Though it was written almost a quarter century ago, I stand by every word of that. And, BTW, it was not just the Anti-Federalists who feared an over-reaching federal judiciary. Thomas Jefferson called it "the most dangerous branch," and gave his reasons.

The problem of our having an electorate which allows tyranny because it is capable of electing "liberal" Democrats in general and Barak Obama in particular is, IMHO, the problem of transcending the emotional appeals of Sophists. It should be recalled that the answer to an opponent who claims superior wisdom is not to get into a "he said, she said" contest with them but to adopt the stance of the philosopher. The philosopher does not claim superior wisdom, but claims only to love wisdom. That constitutes a challenge to the sophist to stick to facts and logic.
It is common, even on FR, for people to accept the premise that Fox News Channel is conservative and that other journalism is "objective." A recent example, and my response, follows:
Democrats are cowards for refusing to go on Fox. They would be glad to, if they had facts and logic rather than showmanship behind their snake oil, but they don't - so they stay away from the exposure. The trouble with going on Fox is that you will be asked the second question. If you have the facts and logic to back up your case, that's no problem. Conservatives do have facts and logic behind their cases; it is their defining characteristic.and then turn around and call republicans stupid for going on any of the other networks.
Journalism as we know it did not exist until the era of the Civil War. Prior to that, newspapers were fractiously independent of each other, and didn't accept claims that competing newspapers' reporters were objective. In fact, the newspapers of the pre-Civil War era were more like National Review than like The New York Times. Most were weeklies, and some had no deadline at all and just went to press when the printer decided he was ready. More than modern "hard news," they were about the opinions of their printers. Presses of that ilk naturally were ordinarily associated with political parties. The whole paper was what we'd now think of as an editorial page - and the printers couldn't and didn't try to make that a secret. That was the milieu when the First Amendment was written and ratified.Its hypocritical and pathetic.What changed that?
The telegraph. The telegraph, and the Associated Press. Suddenly the printer had available to him a font of news stories to which his readership could not be privy before he printed them. A wonderful thing for the printer of a paper! But, at a price. It was expensive in money, and the printer needed to get value out of his AP newswire. How to do that, when the printer didn't employ, didn't even know, the reporters who produced the cornucopia of newswire stories? How to vouch for the veracity of the stories? Simple - you simply launch a propaganda campaign to the effect that all reporters are objective!
Here's a news flash for you: journalists actually aren't objective! How do I know? Well, you can do a lot of ponderous research, such as (A Measure of Media Bias (research shows Drudge/Fox centrist, NYT far liberal) ), to prove it - but you need not expect that journalists will do anything but stonewall the results, no matter how thorough the research might be. Far simpler to just be direct - journalists are not objective because they say that they are objective. Simple - the only way anyone can even attempt to be objective is to start your analysis with an up-front declaration of your own interest in the question you are analyzing. If you are arguing that more roads should be built, you declare up front if your father-in-law would be the one to build them, and you would even declare your ownership of a car which would be more useful if there were more roads. Declaring your own objectivity is the precise opposite of that, so you should take it for granted that journalists who never declare anything but their own "objecitivity" are not merely not objective, they are heavily biased.
What is the inherent bias of journalism? Simple again - journalists are biased in favor of the notion that journalists are heroes. In Mark Steyn's expression, they are cardboard heroes - great at attacking "dastardly villains" such as bankers who actually pose no threat, but impotent and cowardly in the presence of actual villains such as ruthless terrorists who'll behead you for crossing them. Cowards who boast that "you never argue with someone who buys ink by the carload" - and then pick on some poor defenseless schlub precisely because he can't effectively argue back, and wouldn't hurt a fly anyway.
How does that bias of journalism play into politics? Simple again - "liberal" politicians are those who cooperate with journalists and essentially exist in symbiosis with them. You can tell that by the way journalists give them positive labels. Americans favored liberalism - which was a word for the advocacy of liberty - so journalists began to call politicians in symbiosis with them "liberals." The meaning of the word "liberal" was inverted in the 1920s, according to Saffire's New Political Dictionary. Journalists also, alternatively, call politicians in symbiosis with them "progressives." What American doesn't favor progress? And as to the label applied to "liberals'" opponents, well, I'll believe that "conservative" is intended as a positive label as soon as you convince me that marketers don't want to label their products New!
Ann Coulter has pointed out that if she goes on a book tour and is put on TV, journalists always "balance" her with one (usually more than one) "liberal" commentator to argue with her. in addition to the "objective journalist" him/herself, who will always attack as well (the usual result is that Ann has to really fight to get a word in edgewise - and as quick-tongued as she is, that's saying something). If a "liberal" goes on a book tour, when have you ever seen him/her "balanced" by a conservative? When have you ever seen him/her attacked by the "objective" journalist?
In reality "objective" journalists are sophists - and, in the original sense of the term, conservative politicians and analysts are philosophers.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2518098/postsNot only is there no hypocrisy involved in advocating that conservative politicians go on Fox but keep the "objective" journalist at arm's length, it is IMHO actually pathetic to think that they are obligated to do otherwise.
A constitutional revival, IMHO, must begin with the recognition - first by the courts, and then by the public - that the government is not a safe repository for the judgement of what is, and what is not, "objectivity." With all that that implies for the authority of "Campaign Finance Reform" and the "Federal Communication Commission."

With the nomination of Rand Paul, the neo-confederates are feeling their oats.
Great article.
The antifederalists were certainly right—the central government behemoth we now have is undeniably authoritarian and is supra-constitutional. It has been a slow but inexorable march to tyranny, with occasion periods of sharp racheting up of central government power (e.g., King Lincoln, FDR, LBJ, Ohaha).
May the Lord's grace preserve our nation and return us to the limited government our forefathers thought they were bequeating us.
In the north, the deadbeats of Shay's rebellion were demanding the state inflate the currency and allow debtors to pay off debts in whatever they had on hand (corn, pigs, whatever).
A corrupt southern aristocracy which had refused to sell off British property in lots even the middle class (what existed of a middle class in the south) could afford were getting out of their debts by running to judges. Everything the colonies had fought for in the Revolution was about to turn into mob rule and a fractious economic race to the bottom as each state positioned itself fight other states.
The Federalists stopped all that from happening...for a while. Delegated powers were not enough to stop centralization but it did postpone it for generations.
The real error, the original sin of the Constitution, was allowing for purposes of representation, slaves to be counted as 3/5ths of a person. That allowed the corrupt aristocracy Jefferson represented which had allied itself with an ignorant underclass and a venal press to wipe out what the federalists had created. Fisher Ames, a Federalist who was critical to the ratification of the constitution and who drafted the first amendment wrote in 1805:
Federalism was therefore manifestly founded upon a mistake, on the supposed existence of sufficient political virtue, and on the permanency and authority of the public morals. The party now in power committed no such mistake. They acted upon what men actually are, not what they ought to be . . .They inflamed the ignorant; they flattered the vain; they offered novelty to the restless; and promised plunder to the base. The envious were assured that the great should fall; and the ambitious that they should become great . . . we are descending from a supposed orderly and stable republican government into a licentious democracy . . .The Federalists weren't the problem. The Jeffersonians were. Look at what Ames wrote. He's describing the Democratic party of today.

Ok so I feel tall. I'm taller than my boyfriend, luckily not by much, and I'm not as tall as all of my friends, but sometimes I feel really tall. I'm 12 and five two. (Is that really tall?) anyways I just wish I was shorter. Not like little couple short but even if I was just a little smaller I'd like it better. Seriously though why do small people hate being small so much?
So I just want to know if being tall is a major turn off, or is it just normal, I guess.
Most Helpful Guy
5'2 is not tall all, matter of fact that short, but it maybe average for someone your age. In the eyes of a 12 year old girl 5'2 may seem tall, because all the boys your age haven't hit their growth spurt yet unlike most girls your age who have ( boys don't really start showing growth until around 14-15 years old). So you may be taller then the average guy your age, but in about 2-3 more years all those boys are going swell up to 5-6 inches taller then they are now. You may get lucky and peak at 5'5 or 5'6, but you will still be much shorter then even the average guy.
So enjoy your ''tallness'' as much as you can right now because it won't last.00|00|0

Q: Why do airplanes leave trails in the sky some days and not others?
A: For the answer this week we asked Post Review weatherman Jeremy Grams, who is a professional meteorologist. (He is also an alumnus of North Branch High School, by the way)
He said the sight of this phenomena in our sky is related to specific weather conditions. Vapor trails or contrails form from water vapor being exhausted by an aircraft engine as a byproduct of combustion. They need very cold temperatures (below -40°F), which is typically found at the cruising altitude of jet flights above 25000 feet.
If the air at that level is dry (i.e, the relative humidity is low), a contrail may not form or may dissipate in seconds.
If the air at that level is moist, the contrail can persist for minutes and potentially hours if turbulence is weak.
In the picture, above, the contrails are mixed with the naturally-forming cirrus clouds. This is typically a very good meteorological situation for contrails to form and remain persistently thick.
There was relatively high moisture in the upper-levels (above 25000 feet) Monday morning in advance of the next approaching upper-level low pressure system centered along the British Columbia coast.
Turbulence was light owing to the presence of upper-level high pressure overhead. Thus, noticing contrails with increasing cirrus clouds can often spell a change in the weather pattern.
The forecast calls for very warm temperatures Tuesday and then a cold front passage and much cooler temps with a chance for rain on Wednesday.
If you have a question you would like answered, send your question to [email protected] and watch for your answer in the Post Review.

MREBoy replied to PurgeThunder's topic in RequestsThis happens pretty much every single time WoWs gets patched - some mods work fine, others break completely. The broken ones get yanked until such time as they are updated to work again, then added back in. Folks just have to be patient.
Ok this took longer to figure out than it should - I kept fiddling with .DDS files in Photoshop before remembering alpha channels are a thing to consider (I'm not a PS pro by a long shot) Anyway - is anyone still interested in this ? The contrail is completely gone and this is probably compatible with most current tracer mods - it's a single file replacement. Screenshots are of No Contrails + Colored Tracers #1 (by atmaxx) On a side note I also think I figured out how to colorize the tracer smoke, I'll work on that too.
Since I started this thread, here we go: Find "World_of_Warships\res_mods\0.5.1.2\content\gameplay\usa\gun\main\textures\AGM031_6in53_Mk16_Twin_a.dds" and duplicate it in the same folder, you will probably get "AGM031_6in53_Mk16_Twin_a - Copy.dds". Rename "AGM031_6in53_Mk16_Twin_a - Copy.dds" to "AGM157_6in53_Mk16_Twin_a.dds" The folder "World_of_Warships\res_mods\0.5.1.2\content\gameplay\usa\gun\main\textures\" should then be as shown below: I will msg Xandier59 about this. Thanks for your time Aslain!
Ok, I figured out what's going on, this is wierd. Same clean install as before: If Omaha Hull = "A" hull OR "B" hull, turret texture appears If Omaha Hull = "C" hull, turret texture disappears I FRAPS'd this, just so I know I'm not losing my mind - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QziadLFalM
I tried deleting the DLC folder contents then clean installing just this mod (see attached logs) and got my previous result again (missing texture). The file "AGM157_6in53_Mk16_Twin_a.dds" isn't present in the DLC file "wows_skins_RWBY_collection_with_bonus_502.7z". _Aslain_logs.zip

Another round of military base closings could be in the offing.
The Defense Department plans to ask for permission for two more rounds of base closings, according to Politico. If it happens, it would be yet another challenge to the Rock Island Arsenal, which lost a net 1,000 jobs from the last round in 2005 and is preparing to deal with automatic budget cuts that went into effect Friday.
The potential for another BRAC, as the base closing rounds are known, isn't terribly surprising. The Pentagon asked for two new rounds last year but was quickly rebuffed by lawmakers who were going into an election year.
Congress also is skeptical of a new round of BRAC, given audits that predict the savings will be much smaller than originally anticipated.
This year's request, however, would come as military leaders are complaining they're being asked to downsize their budgets without being given the ability to make choices where to cut. Sequestration would slice military budgets by more than $500 billion over 10 years. Calls for discretion within the budget might strengthen the military's hand with Congress in a new BRAC request.
U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said Friday there's "very little" discussion about the possibility of a new BRAC round. He opposed the Pentagon's proposal last year.
"I don't know why I'd change my mind," he said Friday.
Christina Mulka, a spokeswoman for Sen. Dick Durbin, who chairs a key subcommittee overseeing Pentagon spending, said the office had no comment on the potential for a BRAC request. But she noted Durbin opposed the 2005 round and "will be working to maintain the important leadership role that Illinois has long played in our nation's defense."
Durbin, along with other lawmakers representing the area, met with a delegation led by the Quad-Cities Chamber of Commerce this week on its annual lobbying trip to Washington, D.C., where the Arsenal is always a key topic.
Politico, citing unidentified sources, said the Defense Department is going to ask for new base closing rounds in the 2015 fiscal year, which begins a year from this October, and again in fiscal 2017.
In answer to questions before his nomination hearings, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also said he would consider base closings, and he sought to distinguish the 2005 round from earlier efforts in the 1990s, which he said resulted in real savings.
The Arsenal already is in the midst of transition because of the end of the war in Iraq and the wind-down in Afghanistan. Much of the war-related work at the Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center has ended, and the JMTC is seeking new work.
Jim Morgan, a former civilian executive on the island who was a leader in the area's BRAC defense in 2005, said there have been legislative changes that better position the JMTC for a new BRAC.
"I think the Department of the Army has seen the benefit of the organic industrial base," he said.
At the same time, once a base has been on a BRAC list, there's always a threat, he said. During the 2005 round, the Arsenal had been on a list for closure, but it was removed shortly before the Pentagon made its recommendations.

Stutz purchased this apartment in 1978
a heritage
a special house in a particular place
In an unspoilt part of Italy, with lots of interesting places to visit nearby, we loved staying here. It is not really child friendly, however our 4 and 1 years olds enjoyed it as we kept a close eye on them. The top room is hot in the summer, so could do with insulation, however our stay was delightful. We shall certainly go there again when the children are older.
We stayed with a group of four friends in the apartment. The facilities and furniture were nice but very basic, also was the equipment of the kitchen. Tip: some more glasses, plates and cutlery.. An extra chair and table in the sitting room and some kind of airco or fan in the bedroom under the roof would make it a lot more comfortable.
We loved the beautifull old house, natural swimming pool and the location of the house. Close to Firenze but in a very quiet spot. In the neigbourhood are a few good restaurants.
The owner Babette was very kind and helpfull. I would defenitly reccomend this place to friends or family..
We had a very good time and loved the views over the valley. The only point of improvement could be airco in the upper bedroom areau just under the roof.
We had a very lovely host and enjoyed our stay.
I chose Il Poggio as a venue to teach a one week course. I had never been there before but it was recommended to me by colleagues who had good experiences teaching courses there.
Babette and her husband were very welcoming and made sure that all practical needs surrounding the course were in perfect order. This left me time to focus on what I was there for; to teach. The 3 meals a day that were provided were excellent. The spacious rooms, good sanitary facilities, the natural pool and the garden grounds provided for myself and the course participants the perfect place to study as well as relax. I am very grateful to have found such a good course venue and I hope to be back next year. I would also recommend Il Poggio to anyone looking for a comfortable, authentic spacious and quiet holiday spot located conveniently near the towns of Florence and Sienna.
As a family of four we spent our holiday in this superb region. The quietness, the views of the hills make this a very tranquil place where you like to come back to have a rest and enjoy time passing slowly by. Il Poggio is an ideal place if we want to discover Firenze and the neighbouring villages. After a long day you will enjoy a swim in the pool which is beautifully integrated in the garden. We can recommend it to everyone who wants to have a break!
After spying this place on this website I took a gamble and it paid off. The property is located in a house full of antique character on top of a hill, surrounded by the most beautiful views.
Due to the location, it is essential that you hire a car as it is not easily accessible by public transport, it is a 50 minute journey from Pisa Airport and easy to get to.
The most relaxing feature of this property is the natural swimming pool which is kept clean by the plants that surround it and oxygen pumped around and garden that surrounds it. My friends and I have spent many relaxing days reading and jumping in the pool when we've gotten too hot.
The property is brilliantly located for day trips to both Florence and Sienna as well as the local villages and very friendly vineyards! The wine from the local winery at San Michele a Tori is to be sampled and enjoyed during your stay.
The accommodation is well looked after and clean and tidy. My friends and I have always done our own cooking when we have visited and the well organised kitchen has allowed us to do this. If you find you visit in August, remember that most of Italy are also on holiday so many local resturants are closed, so self-catering may be your best option. Well stocked shops can be found in nearby areas.
If you need a relaxing, uncomplicated getaway, this is the place for you. Take your own entertainment, eat great food, drink lovely wine and forget about the world for a week!
A large garden with old trees. 2 km away from the village of s.Vincenzo a Torri, it is situated between Cerbaia and Ginestra F.ina. in the Val di Pesa. Very good position to reach Pisa or Siena. S.Gimignano or Volterra. It takes 40 Min. with a car to drive to the center of Florence.
Golf: The next Golf court is in Montelupo F.ino. at the distance of 8 km.
