text: RUSH: But ground was broken last night on ESPN. It was Monday Night Football, game two started at 10:15 eastern. It was the Chargers and the Denver Broncos, and for the first time they had a female play-by-play announcer named Beth Mowins, and they teamed her with Rex Ryan, who has the toe fetish, the former coach of the "New Jersey" Jets. And this is history. So I just... I was watching it. (interruption) You know me and my hearing. I had the captioning on and I heard the announcers and I'd forgotten that they were going to use a female play-by-play last night, and I kept saying the captioning said "Rex." I said, "Who's Rex?" I finally figured out it was Rex Ryan. Anyway, here's how it sounded. This is just the setup for what's coming... MOWINS: We welcome you to Monday Night Football! We're here in Denver. It's 47 straight years of sellouts, and another packed house expected tonight at the Mile High City for the Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers, as they start out the new season on the road. And we welcome you to Denver. I'm Beth Mowins along with Rex Ryan. RUSH: All right, that's pretty cool. Female announcer, play-by-play, ESPN, NFL, groundbreaking. I'm all for it. Fine and dandy. She's pretty good by reputation. I never heard her do a game, but they say she's pretty good. But! But! They brought over a sideline reporter last night. (chuckles) I'm not laughing. His name is Sergio Dipp, and they imported him from ESPN Deportes, which is the Spanish language version, and they put him on as the sideline reporter. DIPP: It's a pleasure to be with you guys here on the field from up close just watching Coach Vance Joseph from here. You watch him now on the screen. This diversity in his background is helping him a lot tonight. Quarterback at Colorado, defensive back in the NFL, and here he is having the time of his life this night making his head coaching debut. RUSH: Because he has a lot of diversity in his background. Okay, and then after the game the guy was... They panned it. People were making fun of the guy, "Who is this guy? This is embarrassing. This guy does not know how to do his job." So after the game, the guy was in tears talking about diversity and immigration. DIPP: It's been (sigh) a couple of hours now trying to digest -- RUSH: Wait a sec. Don't play it. We don't have time, folks. I've gotta take a break. I misread the clock here by one minute. But I promise to get to this. Don't go away. Hang on. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I just have one question both about Beth Mowins in the ESPN booth. If they wanted real diversity, they'd put me in there. But it'll never happen. How can any self-respecting caring woman stand by as these players risk concussion and brain injury for our enjoyment? Just beyond the pale anymore. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: That I want to do is go back and play these two sound bites back-to-back and explain to you what people... I mean, this has become the talk, as much of what ESPN has been doing lately in their effort to somehow reach a majority of Americans by going "diverse" has. Whatever they think it is that unites the country, it isn't. They're losing subscribers, they're losing audience, and they're losing money, and it's dragging down Disney, and it's all because they have an erroneous assumption of what it is that makes this country, what it is that constitutes the country and how our greatness is defined. And diversity is not skin color. That's surface! But that's how they look at it. It's quotas. "What's our number of African-Americans? What's our number of Hispanic females? What's our number...?" And if the numbers match and it fits some population chart, then fine and dandy. But when you start getting into diversity of thought, there isn't any at ESPN, and there isn't any in the Drive-By Media, and that's why they're floundering. So they talk diversity and they preach it, but there isn't any. In service of their definition of diversity, they are not finding the best. They're not finding the most talented, they're not finding the most professional -- and, as such, it's a disservice to the people they are charging a lot of money for to watch their network. They owe it to people to put the best they've got on, and their definition of "the best" does not include an assessment of talent. It includes their definition of diversity. They say diversity is what made America great. It is not. Diversity had nothing to do with America's greatness. America's greatness had everything to do with morality and values and people's commitment to excellence and their desire to overcome tyranny, particularly religious tyranny. It had nothing to do with the way they looked or what their hair was or any of that! But that's how people look at it. "What makes America great is our diversity," and it's silly, and it's insulting to people, to say that the only thing that matters about them is their skin color! The only thing that matters about them is their heritage? Those are identifiable characteristics but they have nothing to do with the kind of person someone is. Unless people are talked into letting those things speak for them rather than who they are, and that's one of the inherent dangers of all of this. So in service to this definition of diversity, they went out and they've gotten people who they think will impress the audience. "Look at ESPN! Look at the diversity! Look at how ESPN cares! Look! ESPN's really got their finger on the pulse." What they're not doing is finding the best, and that's what this is really all about. I mean, this poor guy Sergio Dipp? I mean, they're laughing at this guy today, but he had no business being put on the sideline last night. It wasn't his fault for taking the gig. It's what he wants to do. But he wasn't ready for it, and that's what people are commenting on. He ended up in tears after the program because people in social media were making so much fun of him. Whereas I guarantee you, he went in thinking he was gonna be a hero on social media because of the very "diversity" and things that they use on the left to define greatness. So here is his first report when they first went to him to introduce him to the audience, and he's doing his first sideline report. They brought him in from ESPN Deportes. DIPP: It's a pleasure to be with you guys here on the field from up close just watching Coach Vance Joseph from here. You watch him now on the screen. This diversity in his background is helping him a lot tonight. Quarterback at Colorado, defensive back in the NFL, and here he is having the time of his life this night making his head coaching debut. RUSH: Right. But the diversity poor Sergio Dipp is talking about here is irrelevant to the guy getting a head coaching job. He got a head coaching job because somebody thinks that he can win football games and inspire players to win football games, not his "diversity" and stuff. But this is the way this guy's been trained. This is how it manifests itself. So the minute this happened, social media erupted and they start laughing and making fun of this guy. I didn't know this had happened 'cause, of course, I watch with the sound down and I can't hear it. So I read about it first this morning in the New York Post. I said, "Okay, what's this?" So I looked and I got the audio sound bite. After the game, poor Sergio Dipp was in tears continuing to talk about "diversity" and immigration when his job was football. DIPP: It's been (sigh) a couple of hours now trying to digest what just happened to a 29-year-old Mexican guy like me. (haltingly) Born in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. But growing up in the American environment as a minority -- a minority like head coaches Vance Joseph and Anthony Lynn. So all I wanted to do was to show some respect. Making my debut as a minority on American national TV, the biggest stage out there, on the most heartfelt day in this great country made up by immigrants -- and on some people's perspective, it all went wrong. RUSH: Well, now, what could have gone wrong? What does the guy think his job was? You can't blame this poor guy. Folks, this is how he's been educated. This is what's happening to your kids in school. This is what they grow up thinking is important. It's what they're being taught. This guy thought he was hitting a home run last night, I guarantee you, with his... I'm sure he rehearsed it. I'm sure he looked in the mirror and watched himself talking about the diversity of Vance Joseph, who happens to be African-American. "Bingo! Minority! Diversity! All I gotta do is relate to this guy." Then he's taken to the woodshed for his performance, and how about this postgame? (impression) "Well, it's been a couple hours now try and digest what happened to a 29-year-old Mexico guy like me, born in Mexicali, Baja, growing up in the American environment a minority, a minority..." He used the "minority" word throughout this thing. Sergio, it's not why people are tuned in to watch the football game last night. I guarantee you a lot of people wanted to see if Rex Ryan was gonna put his foot in his mouth, is why a lot of people were watching. But, anyway, this is a manifestation of how all of this irrelevancy is being taught as important and defining. Vance Joseph is not even a person to this guy. He's a symbol. He's an example. And just because of that, not because of his work, he's inspirational to this guy. I feel for these kids that have been educated this way. They're missing out on so much, and they're going through life totally confused. I guarantee you, poor Sergio hasn't the slightest idea what happened to him. I guarantee you he thought it was a home run. I'm sure he thought he was gonna be a social media hero -- "How many likes? How many thumbs up? How many people following?" however these people on social media define it -- and his world turned upside down last night after what he thought I'm sure was the greatest sideline report by an immigrant from Mexico ever.

If the scientific community had been paying attention back then, perhaps we'd have laid the groundwork for a strong and immediate response to the nonsense the climate denialists started bringing up. Instead, it seems climate scientists were caught unawares and just ignored it till it moved into the political arena.

Travelling to Tobago.
Crown Point Travel Blog› entry 24 of 27 › view all entries
June 25th, 2008 – by: gopackjo
As much as I like to keep on the move during a trip, there is nothing like settling into a nice hotel room. You can actually put your things into the dresser, load up the fridge, do some laundry, and get to know the area. The Coral Caribe was a very nice place to stay, but I was certainly ready to move on. I took my time packing up my things, checked out, and walked down the street to the taxi stand.
Of course the first price offered to me wasn't what I was looking for, so I told them I would check the company down the street and started to walk away. The boss yelled their new price to me and got me to agree. The taxi was a nice little Toyota with air conditioning, and the driver had some good music on the stereo. We chatted a bit about the island, and Venezuelan politics along the way.
My spanish has certainly improved on this trip, but I really don't have a clue compared to everybody else. It really is amazing running into so many people on a trip that have such great command of multiple languages. I am certainly envious. In Ciudad Bolivar, I had exchanged email addys with a 21 year old girl who is learning English, and she messaged me when she saw my Yahoo name online on Instant Messenger. She modestly says that her English isn't very good, and wants to practice online. While chatting I would have no idea that this person is not a native speaker. I'm sure that I could not come up with an entirely correct Spanish sentence if somebody put a gun to my head. Oh well, I am determined to learn more.
The airport was about a 35 minute drive, and the international terminal was the smaller of the two.
The flight was short and pleasant, and the customs and immigration in Port Of Spain was pretty easy once I got the proper form (The airline had run out). On the runway there sat a huge 747-400 with Air China logos. Very strange. I collected my luggage and went to the counter to check in for my domestic flight to Tobago. There are only two airports in Trinidad & Tobago, and I was going to fly between them.
They called for boarding for the flight, and we took a very long walk on the tarmac to get to the plane. Once on-board I took my seat, and looked around. There seemed to be alot more people on the plane, then there were seats. A woman then asked the guy next to me where his seat was. I looked at his boarding pass, and it had my seat number on it. I was on the wrong flight, as were about 10 other people.
We all made our way back to the waiting area in the passenger seat of a Caribbean Airlines pick-up truck. This was my first experience in a right hand drive vehicle in a while. Strange. The airline rep said that there was alot of confusion because the Chinese Prime Minister was on a visit to the country. Well that explains that. I found out later that the visitor was He Guoqiang, not the PM but a Communist party higher-up that had also visited Cuba on this trip. Thirty minutes later we made our way to the plane in a downpour and took off for our short, rough, fifteen minute flight.
Upon landing, there was a taxi waiting for me. He took me to my pre-arranged hotel, and I kicked in the A/C and got comfy. I did take a short walk for some food, and found a good variety very close by. I settled on an Arab place that had a delicious Gyro that was made in a tortilla. I read up on Tobago on the interent before going to sleep.
Later, Phil

The FCT Administration (FCTA) has denied that the sum of N5billion was proposed for rehabilitation of prostitutes and destitute in Abuja saying only N150 million has been budgeted for same in the 2013 budget.
In a statement by the Special Assistant (Media) to the FCT Minister, Nosike Ogbuenyi, the the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) pointed out that rehabilitation of destitute and commercial sex workers (prostitutes) is part of the schedule of its Social Development Secretariat. According to the statement, "the empirical truth is that the entire budget of the Social Development Secretariat for the 2013 fiscal year is N4.7billion only".
The sum of N150million only out of this amount is for evacuation and rehabilitation of destitute, prostitutes (commercial sex workers) and other vulnerable persons, the statement added.

Install MediaInfo and use it to open a file that won't play. Post the results here so we can take a look.
VLC can handle AVI fine, so this could mean one of the following.
1) Your file is corrupted.
2) Your file was deliberately made in a way so that it won't play back. Hollywood has been known to seed torrent sites with files that can't play correctly.
3) The person who made the AVI file is incompetent and they did something when making it that is causing it to not play.
Seems like 'xtor' video codec is not supported by libav, which is the reason why VLC can't handle the file.
From what I gathered googling around it seems like DXtory comes with DirectShow Decoder filters, so playback with DirectShow based decoders should be possible.
whats this libay mean what do you download or do with it
hi there, thank you for my registration!
I need help with these 2 files that don't even show much info in "MediaInfo" ...
When I open them with VLC or any other program, nothing happens!
Any ideas? Here is the info it did spew out:

Writing the names of Jesus is such a simple thing yet it has the opportunity to dramatically impact your faith!
Perhaps one of the greatest disciplines that have really transformed my faith over recent years is the simple discipline of writing the Word.
It started simply as a way to help my exhausted new Mama brain focus on reading the Bible. My soul was willing but my flesh was weak. Sitting down to read the Bible was an invitation for my tired body to succumb to sleep. To be fair, in those early days of motherhood, it didn't matter what book I was reading, my heavy eyes always won.
Out of desperation and the knowledge that my weary soul desperately needed to be in the Word, I started to write out a few short passages.
Reading is passive, writing is action.
Writing out the Scriptures began as a practice to help me stay away long enough so I could be in the Word daily but it soon transformed into allowing God's Word to become alive to me in a way it has never been before.
Something happens in the process of allowing His Words to flow from me as I read the words and write them out. I can't really even explain it, except to say that writing out the Word has made God's Word become even more important to me than every before.

Search first?
I did. All I saw was a bunch of crap about the iphone. The temps search function sucks ass. for instance if you search for "PSFreedom Dingoo" it should place results with both terms at the top of the list, instead of just churing out the most recent crap about PSfreedom only.

Words of Praise From Our Patients
I can't say how much I LOVE Dr. Smart and the wonderful ladies at Frisco Plastic Surgery & MedSpa! I know multiple people who have had procedures performed over the last few years with Dr. Smart and everyone has been more than satisfied. So when I decided I wanted a change I knew I would consult with Dr. Smart first!
I recently had a surgical procedure performed and have enjoyed working with them every step of the way. The staff is unbelievably sweet and knowledgeable. Dr. Smart is brilliant and extremely professional. I have felt comfortable working with them from the very beginning.
I trusted his multiple board certifications, facility accreditations, and years of experience. Without hesitation I would recommend Frisco Plastic Surgery and MedSpa to any one of my friends. Thank you so much Dr. Smart, Stephanie, Misty, Jenny, and all the rest of the beautiful ladies of Frisco Plastic Surgery & MedSpa!
"Dr. Smart is my hero! After having three children Dr. Smart was able to turn back the clock and transform my figure to look even better than it did before I had children. Dr. Smart is a great listener and such a kind and patient man. My experience overall was excellent and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
"I am so happy about my decision to have breast augmentation. Dr. Smart was very informative about the procedure, and what to expect afterward. I didn't feel like there were any surprises. Dr. Smart made me feel very comfortable with questions that I thought might be silly. I really trust Dr. Smart. I can tell that he is using the latest greatest technology out there."
"I lost my right breast due to breast cancer. When I decided to learn about my breast reconstruction options, I interviewed several surgeons including Dr. Smart. From the beginning he was kind, caring, knowledgeable, confident (but not arrogant), reassuring and intelligent. Just as importantly, he answered my husband's questions and reassured him with his professional courtesy and thoughtfulness. The surgical procedure I selected is a major surgery and I literally placed my trust and my body in Dr. Smart's hands. I'm glad I did. Despite the complexities of the surgery, Dr. Smart did an outstanding job. I just wanted him to know that I am grateful for his skill, his patience, his kindness and his understanding of my fears. I know from experience surgeons like him are hard to find…I'm just so happy I did find Dr. Smart."
"After the birth of my 3rd (and final) child I was very unhappy with the shape that my body was left in. I chose to have a full tummy tuck and a breast augmentation. It is the best decision I have ever made! I am 6 weeks past my surgery and I am amazed at the difference in my shape. Although my weight has stayed virtually the same my waist is now 4 inches smaller than before the surgery. My breasts are now better than they were when I was 20! I can't begin to thank Dr. Smart for my new shape. He is truly an artist. My results are better than I could ever have hoped and I'd recommend Dr. Smart to everyone I know!"
- S.D. / Dr. Smart's biggest fan
"I did a lot of research before I decided to proceed with surgery to enhance my appearance. My husband and myself sought after the highest standard of medical care and we truly found it with Dr Smart and his staff. At 31 years of age - and post 5 children, including a set of twins, I was left with a lot of stretched out skin and sagging breasts. I opted for the breast augmentation with lift along with and tummy tuck and now I look better than I did in high school! I have no scars on my breasts with the lift, and the scarring from the tummy tuck is minimal and is fading more and more every day. Wow, what a massive improvement in the quality of my life. I'm a walking billboard for Dr. Smart's work, great job."
"I had a very positive experience with Dr. Smart and Frisco Plastic Surgery. My LipoSelection® expectations were met and I love the feeling of being a "smaller" me! Dr. Smart and his staff have been thorough, friendly and informative throughout each step of the process (consultation, surgery and follow up) and I would highly recommend him."

Several public high school football coaches in Westmoreland, Tenn. are in trouble for bowing their heads during a student-led prayer before a recent game.
According to local NBC affiliate WSMV, the coaches didn't say anything aloud themselves, but bowed their heads in observance alongside the students.
Word got back to the principal and the school district, which found the coaches' participation to be an uncomfortable mix of religion and public school.
"We've been telling our principals to kind of be looking for those things, because that is kind of a shift in how things have been done," district spokesman Jeremy Johnson told WSMV. "It can in no way appear like it's endorsed by Sumner County Schools personnel."
When asked whether bowing one's head was considered "endorsing," Johnson said it "depends what it looks like."
"That's where you kind of get into the gray area that we're having to deal with," he said.
The coaches weren't disciplined, but were made to sign letters indicating they understood the school's policy, which prohibits staff from appearing to participate in a student prayer in any way, even if it takes place after hours.
According to WSMV, the incident comes months after the American Civil Liberties Union sued the district for violating the separation of church and state, saying teachers led students in Bible studies, invited a pastor to come speak to students during lunch and at least one instructor displayed a 10-inch cross in their classroom.
But resident Tony Bentle, who has been refereeing football games in the town for years, said crackdown "blew [his] mind."
"We're just respectful, God-fearing people up here," he said. "Nobody in this town is offended if you pray. Nobody."
Further violations of the policy could lead to disciplinary action for the coaches.
"That's a violation of their rights. We should be able to bow our heads in reverence to God, wherever we are," Bentle said. "It's time we draw a line in the sand and say, you know, this is ridiculous."

Astros put pistol back on Colt .45s throwbacks
Can we get a 21-gun salute for the victory of common sense?
After initially being told by MLB they had to holster the pistols, the Houston Astros announced on Friday that their Colt .45s throwbacks will include an image of the namesake firearm. New Astros owner Jim Crane credits fans for loudly voicing their opposition to the senseless showing of political correctness. Indeed, it was that outcry that forced the league to let the team make its own decision.
Since we earlier ran a post that revealed Crane's support of the fans, there was really never any doubt that the Astros would reverse baseball's original ruling. The team will wear the jerseys on April 10 and 20 as part of the franchise's 50th anniversary.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen - Consumer Review

Best Car I've Bought So Far
By h8gas on
Vehicle2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6AM)
ReviewI absolutely love my new Sportwagen TDI! I have had mine for a month and it's wonderful. I chose a Tempest Blue DSG with the premium pkg which comes with navigation. Everything is very easy to use and I love the fact that I can control my ipod feature on my Iphone through the touchscreen radio. My son loves looking up through the panoramic sunroof. The DSG shifts silky smooth and effortlessly, and I am getting 38mpg driving mostly in the city. The 2.0TDI engine has surprising power and has great passing capabilities on the highway. I don't think that writer #1(nonickel) has a 2011 because the bluetooth system is awesome, I can control my entire phone through my steering wheel or radio!
Best FeaturesPanoramic sunroof, bluetooth(which includes bluetooth audio), navigation, ipod adaptor with radio controls, and the awesome fuel mileage! Also very fun to drive, and it is an excellent road trip vehicle, very comfortable.
Worst FeaturesWould like to be able to get xenon headlights, and fog lights.

For me, it's Tacos!
Friends and family can't get enough of my legendary (their words) tacos.
Have no idea what makes my tacos a stand out vs. others.
Fry up my corn tortillas so they are crispy and I use the MorningStar 'Crumbles' that resemble ground beef and I gussy that up with fresh garlic and jalapenos..
Stuff them with extra sharp cheese..red onions, lettuce, sliced avocado, scoop of sour cream and hot taqueria sauce.
I also grill up some chicken breast and fry up flour tortillas and do the same as above.
Loved to hear the dishes you cook up that make you shine with friends and family.


text: Is there any advice or input as to why my reception on my Droid Inc has gone from bad, but tolerable around the house to HORRIBLE in the last week or so? Basically I can't even talk on it, because the sound quality sounds so robotic and distorted...Not sure what I can do beside battery pull and *228 all of which doesn't work....The phone otherwise has the same amount of signal strength it always did around the house. The phone speed and all apps work perfect...Just horrible call quality around the house. I love this phone so much, I am way past the return date which I wouldn't consider anyway...I am just wondering if I may need a replacement now for some strange reason. Phone has never been dropped either...Thanks again everyone!

Important differences
According to you, what are the most important differences between your country and the island of Madeira?
Here is a selection of the answers we received on that question….
Anabela (from unknown):
Thank you for the question. The difference between my country and Madeira is simply like the old adage "the grass is greener on the other sideâ€, that is, I find that Madeira has both of the est worlds to offer in terms of living conditions,social infrastructures, the environments is still much protected as is is most world patrimonies;thought, Madeira's beauty does not compare to any other countries I have visit. Madeira is, definitely, much different with the Atlantic all around the island as well as the exotic trees and fruits. The sceneries from the top of the mountains overlooking the Atlantic as well the unspoken and majestic beauty of its cliffs.
The people are still very friendly and especially country folk. Lots of street coffees and snack bars for coffee and beer lovers.
People in Madeira still prefer to eat natural foods based on fresh fish, veggies, fruits,and whole grains.
So, in a nut shell, this is what I have observed with the things that i find different in Madeira.
Willisha (from The Netherlands):
For me the biggest difference between the Netherlands and Madeira is the weather! You can compare the weather on Madeira in winter time with spring in the Netherlands!
The tolerance in traffic is much higher on Madeira (they are used to stupid tourists who are not used to drive on the curvy, small and steep streets).
But a negative difference is the fact that they don't know drop, the famous licorice…
If you want you still can send us you views and answer to the Madeira 1-question Interview. Please do not forget to mention your country also.

A MAN took a knife off a woman because he thought she might harm herself with it.
Kevin Vickers was then said to be unable to throw the knife away before meeting a police officer and he confessed he had the weapon in his waistband.
Vickers, 26, of Shaftesbury Avenue, North Shore, admitted possessing a blade in St Mary Close.
He was bailed to February 19 for pre-sentence reports with all options including custody to be considered by Blackpool magistrates.
Stephen Duffy, defending, said Vickers went to visit a former partner on January 13.
There was a row and she got a kitchen knife.
Vickers thought she might harm herself so he took the knife off her.
He left, intending to throw the knife away into nearby fields, but did not because of the thought of children playing there. A policeman then approached him and he told the officer about the knife.

For the last couple weeks, Savannah has been locked in head-to-head battles with other southern "towns" in an online contest at Garden & Gun magazine.
On the afternoon of April 1, it looked as if Savannah might lose in a matchup against Asheville, N.C., and then a flurry of activity propelled us to the next round.
Amidst that last-minute push, I posted a link to the contest on my Savannah Unplugged Facebook page. That post was shared 29 times, appeared in more than 6,000 news feeds and resulted in more than 600 clicks. I don't know how many of those interactions actually led to votes for Savannah, but it's still a pretty impressive number.
And those views and clicks paled beside the contest's exposure through other local websites and social media outlets. A March 31 post about the contest on Visit Savannah's Facebook page was shared almost 1,200 times and attracted almost 13,000 "likes."
Was Garden & Gun's Greatest Southern Towns Bracket worth so much time and energy?
First, let's acknowledge that there's a certain silliness to contests such as these.
The rules are hazy at best. Garden & Gun's competition was limited to 32 "towns" with fewer than 150,000 people, but many of those municipalities are part of much larger metropolitan statistical areas.
The Savannah metro area, for example, has about 370,000 people.
In the final round of Garden & Gun's contest, Savannah was pitted against the "town" of Franklin, Tenn., of which I knew literally nothing.
Franklin, which seems like a quaint, well-promoted city, has a population of about 65,000 people, but it's also part of the larger Nashville metro area, with about 1.7 million people.
So, if we're talking about "towns," Savannah vs. Franklin hardly looks like a fair or even relevant matchup.
On the other hand, despite all the silliness, contests such as this have some real impacts.
Consider the enthusiasm that was generated among residents who are proud of where they live. Silly or not, there's something inspiring about seeing such a wide variety of folks willing to tout Savannah's virtues to the world.
Consider, too, that Garden & Gun has a particularly affluent readership.
Even if we find such contests reductive, the simple truth is that Savannah is competing every day against other southern cities for the time, money and attention of individual tourists, convention planners, journalists and others whose choices have profound economic impacts.
In earlier rounds, Savannah defeated two small cities with which we frequently compete in a variety of respects, including in the public imagination.
I'm talking about Asheville and Charleston. Both are lovely places, and both are at the center of more populous areas than ours.
The Charleston metro area, which has at least 300,000 more people than the Savannah metro area, is even home to Garden & Gun.
But somehow Savannah managed to beat both Asheville and Charleston in the online voting.
It's hard to ignore those numbers.
Considering the Broughton streetscape
Tuesday's City Talk column reviewed the new Funky Brunch Café at the northeast corner of Broughton and Lincoln streets.
The Funky Brunch is right next to Blick Art Materials.
Just east of Blick is the historic Berrien House, which sat blighted for many years before Andrew Berrien Jones purchased the property in 2012 and began the ongoing restoration.
Despite all this investment and activity, much of the public enhancement of Broughton Street ends mysteriously at Lincoln Street.
So the north side of Broughton west of Lincoln has amenities such as street trees and lamp posts, but the block east of Lincoln does not.
I guess one could argue we don't need to invest in such enhancements if the block between Lincoln and Habersham has become a centerpiece of private investment without special public attention.
But the counter-arguments are equally obvious. Those who have invested in that block deserve the same type of public support as the property and business owners to the west, and additional amenities on the street are likely to fuel even more private investment and lure more foot traffic.
Making Lincoln Street the boundary for Broughton streetscape enhancements might have made sense at one time, but the decision now just seems short-sighted.
Savannah is known the world over for the friendliness and beauty of its public spaces, but that's no reason to rest on our laurels.

Vocational Education and Training Workforce
This Productivity Commission research report was released on 5 May 2011. This report, the first of a suite of three on the education and training workforce, focusses on the Vocational Education and Training workforce. Other reports will follow on the Early Childhood Development and Schools workforces, respectively. Education and training are essential to generate the skills and knowledge required for a productive economy. They also facilitate social inclusion and civic participation. COAG's reform agenda seeks to raise the educational attainment of the population in general, and of Indigenous Australians in particular. The performance of the education and training workforce has a fundamental role to play in this. A diverse range of public and private VET providers meets many of the expectations of students and significant segments of industry. However, some industry sectors, such as aged care, disability care and early childhood development, have expressed concerns about the skills of VET workers assessed as competent by some Registered Training Organisations. The Commission identified a number of areas where the VET sector and its workforce could operate more effectively. These include being more responsive to the needs of Indigenous Australians, improving managerial and leadership skills and making greater use of informationand communications technologies. The report notes that existing industrial relations arrangements in TAFE make it difficult for individual institutions to respond flexibly to emerging demand pressures, such as in the resources sector and in human services. The Commission recommends that individual TAFEs be allowed to recruit, pay and manage their staff in ways that meet their particular business goals.

The worlds of theory and practice—of thinkers and doers, of the ideal and the practical—seem to exist in parallel universes. Indeed, the self-selected inhabitants of these universes exhibit distinct characteristics and approaches within their chosen professions, including their orientation to solving problems and making decisions. However, because real world problems do not arise within specific academic departments, finding robust solutions requires multi-disciplinary, pragmatic approaches. Moreover, acceptable, long-term solutions to significant problems must be conceptually rigorous as well as practically relevant. Yet, even as humanity's problems increasingly call for interdisciplinary approaches and academic-practitioner collaborations, an uneasy separation persists. Clearly, we should seek to find common ground rather than accentuate the differences between the ideals of ivory tower and the ground realities of practice. Such a bridging perspective would go a long way in surfacing imaginative and innovative approaches to address chronic, global problems.

Weather conditions and political party vote share in Dutch national parliament elections, 1971–2010
Inclement weather on election day is widely seen to benefit certain political parties at the expense of others. Empirical evidence for this weather-vote share hypothesis is sparse however. We examine the effects of rainfall and temperature on share of the votes of eight political parties that participated in 13 national parliament elections, held in the Netherlands from 1971 to 2010. This paper merges the election results for all Dutch municipalities with election-day weather observations drawn from all official weather stations well distributed over the country. We find that the weather parameters affect the election results in a statistically and politically significant way. Whereas the Christian Democratic party benefits from substantial rain (10 mm) on voting day by gaining one extra seat in the 150-seat Dutch national parliament, the left-wing Social Democratic (Labor) and the Socialist parties are found to suffer from cold and wet conditions. Cold (5°C) and rainy (10 mm) election day weather causes the latter parties to lose one or two parliamentary seats.
KeywordsWeather conditions Party vote shares
There are two conventional wisdoms about weather and electoral participation (see Knack 1994; Gomez et al. 2007; and references therein). One is that inclement weather on election day reduces voter turnout, whereas pleasant weather encourages people to vote in greater numbers. The common belief is that poor weather drives down turnout as voters would be less willing to venture out of doors to the polling places if they have to deal with rain, low temperatures and other inclement weather. Hence weather makes going to the polls more or less costly depending on the outside conditions. Some U.S. studies (Merrifield 1993; Shachar and Nalebuff 1999; Gatrell and Bierly 2002; Gomez et al. 2007) as well as our recent Dutch research (Eisinga et al. 2011) support the notion that rainfall diminishes turnout. The weather effects we found are modest in size, however, with a maximum downturn of approximately 1.5% in Dutch parliamentary turnout.
The other long-held belief is that depressed voter turnout attributable to poor weather benefits some political parties at the expense of others. In the two-party U.S. system, where Republicans and Democrats dominate presidential voting, rainy weather is taken to lower the Democratic party's relative vote share rather than Republican voting (Knack 1994; Gomez et al. 2007). The argument goes that more Democrats live in urban areas and therefore rely more strongly on transportation that is susceptible to weather, such as walking and public transit, to get to the polls. A rainy election day may discourage many Democrat voters from waiting for busses and from standing in long lines at busy urban polling places. Also, the popular wisdom is that Republicans are favored by lower turnout due to precipitation since supposedly some key Democratic voting blocks, such as the elderly, are more weather sensitive than the rest of the voting population.
In the same vein, one of the enduring myths of multi-party Dutch politics is that inclement weather on election day hurts the left-wing Social Democratic (Labor) and Socialist parties more than other political parties, such as the Christian Democratic party. Unpleasant weather, so the logic goes, prevents traditional Labor and Socialist supporters such as the poor, unemployed and elderly citizens from casting their ballot. Fine weather, on the other hand, sees Labor and Socialist supporters turning out to vote in greater numbers, stopping off at the polling station on their way to or from work.
Little empirical work has been done, however, either to justify or to refute statements about weather's contribution to voting with comprehensive and reliable data. Gomez et al. (2007) examined the effect of weather conditions in 14 U.S. presidential elections and in their study rainfall is shown to benefit the Republican party's vote share. But apart from this exhaustive work the academic literature provides little evidence on the role weather plays in electoral politics.
This study examines the effects of rainfall and temperature on share of the votes of eight political parties and party groupings that participated in 13 national parliament elections, held in the Netherlands from 1971 to 2010. It matches for each election the voting results of over 400 Dutch municipalities with election-day weather observations drawn from the weather station closest to the polls.
Data and method
The local election-day rainfall amount in millimeters and daily mean temperature in degrees Celsius were obtained from all available weather stations of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. During the time period in question the Netherlands had 17 to 35 meteorological stations and 222 to 235 precipitation stations, with the number of stations increasing over time. The weather station closest to the local municipality was selected using the Haversine equation, giving the shortest distance between station and municipality from their longitudes and latitudes. The temperature readings were obtained from the nearest meteorological station. The mean distance between municipality and meteorological station was 17.7 km (SD 9.8). The daily mean outside temperature ranged from 1.7 to 19.9°C, with a mean of 12°C (SD 4.4). The amount of rainfall was obtained from the closest precipitation station, the mean distance between municipality and precipitation station being 4.4 km (SD 2.3). Local rainfall on election day ranged from 0 to 43.9 mm (mean 2.6, SD 4.0).

Other parties
The political parties include three major and four minor Dutch parties in terms of vote shares. The major parties are the CDA: a right-of-the-center Christian Democratic party with a mean share of the vote aggregated over elections of 27.9% (SD 4.5); the PvdA: a left-wing Social Democratic (Labor) party (mean 26.4%, SD 4.4); and the VVD: a right-wing Liberal party (mean 17.7%, SD 3.8). The minor parties include GL: a left-wing (green) environmentalist party (mean 5.8%, SD 2.3); the SP: a left-wing Socialist party (mean 4.3%, SD 2.0); D66: a center-Liberal party (mean 6.7%, SD 2.5); and CU and SGP: two right-wing orthodox religious parties collapsed into a single category (mean 4.3%, SD 2.0). The mean share of the vote for 'Other parties' is 7.2% (SD 2.6). The 5,507 observation counts (i.e., number of municipalities times number of elections) for each party's vote share represent 113 million valid votes and 28 million abstentions (including half million invalid and blank votes).
The model we used examines the effect of rainfall and temperature on share of the votes for each contesting party separately. In addition to their main effects we also investigated the potential joint effect of the two weather variables, as the interplay of a cold and rainy day may be the major weather issue that keeps voters from going to the polls. In order to mitigate confounding influences, the weather effects were controlled for the weather-related variable electoral turnout and other variables.
Party vote shares at the municipality level are strongly related across elections as a result of party loyalty. To account for this temporal continuity the model incorporates the share of the vote for the party in question in the two preceding elections by including their moving average. The vote shares for the elections prior to 1971 were additionally coded to obtain complete observations for the first two elections. Because contemporary issues and changing domestic and international affairs all contribute to the uniqueness of a particular national election, election dummy variables were entered in the model that allow the election intercepts to vary.
Some party strongholds are to a lesser or greater extent geographically concentrated in particular Dutch regions. The southern part of the Netherlands is a traditional Christian Democratic stronghold, for example, and there is a strip of land called the Dutch Bible Belt which is inhabited mainly by conservative Protestants overwhelmingly voting for CU or SGP. To account for this regional concentration, the municipality's longitude and latitude (in degrees, decimal degrees) were included in the model. Finally, the municipality voting-age population density was used as demographic control. The variable included in the analysis is the natural logarithm of the number of eligible voters per municipality square kilometer.
The data were analyzed party-by-party using two different three-level hierarchical models—linear and logistic—with voters for a particular party at level one, nested within municipality-by-election at level two and municipality at level three. As the parameter estimates of the linear and logistic models obtained identical effect signs and near equivalent p-values, we opted for the presentation of the results of the linear models as they are easier to communicate.

Rainfall was seen to have a significant negative effect on the vote shares of the Socialist party SP, the Social Democratic party PvdA, and the Other parties, and a positive effect on the vote shares of the Christian Democratic party CDA, the center-liberal party D66, the left-wing environmentalist party GL, and the orthodox religious parties CU/SGP. The outside temperature was found to have a significant positive effect on the shares of the vote for D66 and CU/SGP, and a negative effect on the SP's vote share and those of the Other parties. Equally or even more important, temperature is observed to modify the effect of rainfall, most notably in the case of the Social Democratic party PvdA and the Socialist party SP. Basically, the detrimental effect of rain on the Social Democratic and the Socialist party vote shares diminishes as the outside temperature increases.
With respect to the non-weather variables we note that a large turnout benefits the left-wing environmentalist party GL and the Christian Democratic party CDA and not, as frequently claimed, the Social Democratic party PvdA. The estimates for municipality latitude confirm that much of the Christian Democratic electorate is concentrated in the southern part of the country.

The Dutch national parliament has 150 seats that, once the election results are known, are allocated to the contesting parties. The number of votes cast is divided by the 150 seats available, to render a threshold for each seat. Each party's number of votes is divided by this threshold to give an initial number of seats. Any party that received fewer votes than the threshold fails to gain representation in parliament. After the initial seats are allocated, the remainder seats are allotted. If we disregard both the method of allocating remainder seats and electoral alliances of parties to gain remainder seats, we may equate a single seat to represent (100/150≈) 0.667% of the votes.
With this in mind, Table 3 reveals that the weather parameters have a politically significant effect on the seat gains and losses for some political parties. Most notable are the consequences for the Social Democratic party PvdA and the Socialist party SP on the one hand and the Christian Democratic party CDA on the other. The two left-wing parties seem to profit from cold (5°C) and dry (0 mm rainfall) conditions. However, if the weather is both cold and wet (10 mm), the Social Democratic party PvdA is seen to lose 1 (10°C) to 2 seats (5°C) in parliament. About the same results go for the Socialist party SP. The Christian Democratic party, on the contrary, is predicted to benefit from an extremely rainy (10 mm) election day, irrespective of temperature, and to gain one extra seat in parliament under such conditions. Cold (5°C) and dry (0 mm) election day weather cause this party to lose a seat in parliament however. The electoral gains and losses experienced by these three parties either impose costs on or create benefits for the Other parties. The remaining political parties are shown neither to win nor to lose in an electorally significant manner as a result of inclement weather.
This paper validates the long-held belief in Dutch politics that inclement weather on election day—measured by local rainfall and low temperatures—diminishes the share of the vote received by the left-wing Social Democratic (Labor) party and the Socialist party. However, the impact is not as strong as many people, politicians and journalist alike, believe it to be. Cold and rainy election day weather causes these parties to lose one or two seats in the 150-seat Dutch national parliament. Their major opponent, the Christian Democratic party, is shown to profit electorally from an extremely rainy election day as it offers the party one additional seat in parliament.
The possible causes of the left-wing parties' losses have been discussed above. One explanation for the weather-related seat gain of the Christian Democratic party is that the party is exclusively supported by religious people. It may be that the religious part of the electorate has a somewhat higher level of civic duty which prevents them from letting the rain stop their voice from being heard. An additional explanation may be that the Christian Democratic party is traditionally sought to represent the interests of farmers and fishermen, who are used to work in all kinds of weather, and their families.
However this may be, our results indicate that the left-wing Social Democratic and Socialist parties should cross their fingers for dry and cold temperatures on Dutch election day, whereas Christian Democrat supporters should pray for large amounts of rain.

Change Of Pace (Nick Spartan & Samuel)
Pornstars: Nick Spartan,Samuel O'Toole
Samuel O'Toole and Nick Spartan are bored out of their skulls one afternoon, just trying to figure something- anything- to do with themselves. Nick suggests going down to the corner and throwing change at the elderly. Samuel has a much better idea. So Nick follows him down to the basement and in no time Nick realizes this is a far more constructive past time. Before too long the two of them are rubbing, stroking, sucking and fucking the afternoon away.Read more »

EducationB.A. in English (Writing) with a minor in Theatre at Mississippi College (grad: Spring 2014)
ExperienceTutoring is not about making that particular assignment better; it's about better equipping the person to do that and future assignments. I focus on giving the person as much to take away from a session as humanly possible. Tools for now, and tools for later.
I was a consultant of the Writing Center at Mississippi College for 5 consecutive semesters. I tutored students one-on-one, occasionally smaller groups, various ESL students, and led classroom exercises to Freshman classes.
I've taken an extensive research composition class as well as assisted others who had taken the class. The class focused on finding and developing relevant data--in the form of classroom participation for my project.
I've also had quite a bit of psychology and communication background. Both, when paired with writing (or any subject really), help make it more effective.
HobbiesI enjoy almost every variation of art. I try to be actively involved in theatre (off-stage particularly) and film. I am an aspiring writer. I also enjoy video games and Japanese culture. Few things make me happier than puppies do.
Preferred Subjects
English, Communication, Journalism, Theatre, Psychology, History
