a very good compilation for both beginners who wants to listen and feel the trance and disco and for enthusiastic trance lovers who wants to add a good cd of trance in his/her library.
The best tracks to be mentioned is The Fusion, Suddenly Summer and Concrete Angel. The 2012 remix compilation is a whole lot better being remixed by Armin himself featured in ASOT 593. A great way to end the year.
Anybody going for this CD must have definitely listened to AVB before. Yet another great compilation by AVB. Comes in Two CD's. IN THE CLUB and ON THE BEACH. The ON THE BEACH playlist has remixes put together. Well listening to both the CD's is not a pleasant task. I personally liked AVB's Mirage and ASOT 2011 better.

Best shopping, entertainment and fun is by far on 17th Avenue SW. They call it Uptown and it is!!

If you have children (0 - 17)and are visiting Calgary, take in the following attractions in the summer Calgary Zoo, Prince's Island Park, any one of the outdoor public swimming pools, Calgary Tower (on a sunny day), hike on Nose Hill or Fish Creek park, canoe or mini golf at Bowness Park in the NW, visit the Glenbow Museum, attend the June Kensington Salsa Event, Heritage Park, The Telus Science Center and/or COP. In winter (if you can avoid heading west for mountain skiing), COP, Science Centre, Calgary Zoo, Glenbow Museum and the Calgary Tower. These are all reasonably priced or free and accessible by C-Train from most areas of the city.

I've been visiting Calgary for 20 years. Whatever culture there may be now is certainly dwarfed by the biggest event on a Saturday night: the Calgary Flames hockey team. If you go there and take in an opera, you'd be missing the real Calgary.

A jewel in Calgary's summer arts scene is the Calgary Folk Music Festival, which is a celebration of much much more than folk music (recent artists include Elvis Costello, Feist and David Byrne) in a beautiful urban setting. These four days of music, food and friends have become a permanent part of many Calgarians' summer plans. www.calgaryfolkfest.com

The hugs take me to another world. The looks of admiration and awe at my strength and ability to reach high things are precious too. But I knew all of that even before my son was born. What surprised me is that being a dad holds hidden perks that no one told me about.
Here thy are:
More from The Stir: 10 Things Dads Say About Their Newborns & What They REALLY Mean
What were some perks of being a mom that surprised you?
Image via Angela Johnson Meadows
My mom once told me "no man will ever look at you the way your son looks at you", I'm my little boy's one and only! From stinky morning breathe to messy hair his eyes say it all, he loves me all of me. Thanks to my mom for that insight I recognize it every time I look in his eyes.
I love the "I'm not frightening" one. That's amazing.
When walking my oldest to school, pushing my middle child in a stroller and babywearing my youngest (before it was cool), I was a chick magnet, beard and all. They were all in committed relationships, and the fact that I had the kids with me made me "safe."

Farmer's Market, Outdoor Movies, and More on Market Square in Downtown Knoxville.
Part of the East Tennessee experience is not only the Smoky Mountains but the host of arts and cultural activities. While visiting the Smokies for fall colors and Christmas lights make a trip over to Knoxville's Market Square. From a Farmer's Market to outdoor movies, there are activities going on almost daily. Rich in history, the square is home to an eclectic mix of restaurants and shops.
Stay at the historic 28-room Hotel St. Oliver (pictured below) to wake up and walk out your front door for breakfast outside on the square. Then walk to a host of activities like visiting the beautiful East Tennessee History Center, modern Knoxville Museum of Art, latest exhibition at The Emporium, or a live show at WDVX. Shop-till-you-drop and relax before heading out to dinner at any number of restaurants like Tomato Head, La Costa, Downtown Grill & Brewery. Cap off the night with a Jazz Orchestra concert at the historic Tennessee Theatre, a play at the Bijou Theatre, movie at the Regal Riviera 8, or any number of live music acts.
Farmer's Markets are every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The square will be a hot spot for New Year's Eve. Check with the Market Square District Association and the Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation for a calendar of events.

Agree with you about Julia, but...First off, you can't be a husband stealer/homewrecker if you're not married. So throw Laura Dern out the window. Secondly, if you believe everything you hear (drunk dialing?) then you should know that Jen and Brad were seperated 3 mos. before Jolie came into the picture. IT WAS ALREADY OVER! All three have stated that, yes, even Jen.... LOL, i hardly doubt taking up with Brad when they were already over eats her up. Thats reaching. As for Aniston holding her own...bahahaha! If you call desperation and getting dumped by numerous suitors holding her own, then so be it. She's manless, childless and getting/looking old. Brad would never go from Jolie back to Aniston, he's not stupid. Angie kicks ass! She flies planes, drives motorcycles, most powerful, most influential, most beautiful, richest... need i go on? Angelina is getting the last laugh and i love it! Jen has her dogs, tan and her ciggy's and pot. I think Jolie is the winner in the game of life. Hers is quite fascinating, Jens? Boring.
twisted-ties 5 years
P.S. Angelina didn't just steal Brad that's what the uncool statement was about, but she stole Billy Bob, I still like his old nasty ass, from Laura Durn. He moved all of Laura Durn shit out of his home and married and moved Angelina shit in. That was dasterardly. But don't let the smooth taste fool you, she isn't rail thin for nothing her conscious is eating her ass up literally and so is Brad's thats what all the booze is for. They keep having more kids hoping to start over to do it right this time but nothing but admitting your their dasterardly acts and apologizing for them will change that. That's why I love Jennifer Anniston, holding her own, you go girl, no only that recently it was revealed that Brad drunk dials her. She is getting more satisfaction that he truly wants her back but she won't give him the time of day. Take that Angew*ore
twisted-ties 5 years
I am right here, and Julia a big wh*re!!! She didn't get away with it I talk about what a hooker she is every chance I get and I use to love those lips, saw every movie with them. Yes she did steal someone's husband and the wife kept on sleeping with him until she found another man of her own. She had those damn twins, I can't stand her now. She had all the money in the world and stole that woman's husband. He was really torn because she was a big actress and he really loved his wife although there were some issues (not insurmountable though). I hope he *ucks some hottie and drives her red head ass crazy! She still looks the same I just see all the ugly inside her now and I don't care how many cute kids she has she is still a man stealing WH*RE!!!
5 years
What ever happened to Julia Roberts? Didn't she steal someones's husband, than wore a shirt teasing the wife about it? That must be him? Ewww! She seemed to get a free pass with that and she was not nice. Meanwhile Angelina who isn't even a husband stealer in the true sense of the word gets beaten up about it. Where are all the woman up in arms over Julias affairs? Can you say double standards. I know Jolie is stunning which would make woman hate her but c'mon, atleast she is making a difference with her humanitarian efforts.... Roberts used to be so hot, now she and her hubby look old and haggard. What a shame. Karma baby.

Oh my god, I have so much to tell you.
I´ve just arrived at Hotel El Establo in Monte Verde, where we have ¨security bracelets¨and they hand you your TV remote as you check in. But first, the internet-less volcano lodge. After ¨Freddy¨picked us up in San Jose, piling the luggage of 9 overpackers on the roof of the van and stuffing us inside, we headed 3 hours up into the hills of Costa Rica, which looks just like Central America is supposed to. We passed colorful, slummy barrios, the inhabitants of which would emerge at tollbooths attempting to sell us sliced fruit, baseball hats, lottery tickets and ballpoint pens. Half of the roads are unpaved, and the last half of our journey into the rainforrest and up a volcano was basically off-road. I was waiting to see my bag fly off the roof, past my window and into a pile of mud.
Suddenly, we arrived at what can best be described as a big, VERY CASUAL, fanny-pack people lodge. Oh, and the ¨kids¨rooms, while perfectly lovely, were half a mile straight down, meaning any trip to the restaurant, bar or pool meant a hardcore hike straight uphill in rainforrest humidy and constant surprise rainshowers. Our front desk greeter was basically a crack head. I think he must grow his own meth, this guy was such a spaz. I hate him.
Oh, you know who else I hate? Vanessa Getty. Read W. She´s my new nemesis. But that´s a story for another day. I´ll deal with that freakshow when I´m back at a computer that doesn´t suck. But lemme just say, we´re on Team Traina, folks.
Back to fanny-pack land, the food is disgusting. I mean it. American cheese, individually wrapped and melted on shitty fries. Dry rice. Ice Cream that tasted like anchovies. Jello No Bake cheesecake. Half of our dinner party ordered the Ceasar Salad, a ¨restaurant speciality.¨It was presented with bottles of Hidden Valley dressing.
At either end of the table.
Everyone was shocked into silence.
Formal candles and wine and menu descriptions and then, paper napkins and salad dressing bottles dramatically presented on the table. Everywhere we go, in fact, food sucks. It´s shitty, crappy, bad American food. Nothing local. And we´ve been trying. We´re in the middle of nowhere. LITERALLY. And they have Hawaiian pizza.
Alex asked Kate over another crappy lunch buffet, ¨What do Costa Ricans eat anyway?¨
¨Rice, beans and poverty.¨
So image my relief when at this lodge, on a volcano, in the middle of Central America, with a bunch of fanny packers and local staff, I had the greatest New Year´s Eve of my life. Discovering dinner and dancing would be offered, we dressed up and sat down to another crappy meal. But after dinner, all of us (about 50 people total) headed onto the deck for stunning fireworks. As this happened, a floor was cleared and karaoke set up.
Hell yes.
Kate and my rendidtion of Abba´s ¨Take a chance on me¨tore the house down. We drank, we danced, we formed a circle as Kate stood in the middle and twirled. Alex even found some chick to woo. It was glorious, drunken, random debauchery and I loved it.
Greg broke 3 glasses. It was that awesome.
Kate and Alex, deciding to finally follow us to bed at 1am, walked into the wrong room, turned on the lights and laughed. That is, until one of the sleeping inhabitants screamed ¨Wrong room!¨and they abruptly left.
We awoke this morning, so painfully hungover that getting in anoher van for 3 hours of unpaved roading was unacceptable. We pushed the plan back 5 hours and slept in. Another hour in the van, another hour on a tiny boat across a misty lake, and 2 hours on dicey, terrifying unpaved roads. It took an eternity. I´ve always said, I´m one for the destination, not so much the journey.
(Oh my god, HUGE fight in the hotel´s computer room!!!!!!!! HUGE!!!!!! What an asshole. Awesome!)
Anyway, we´re finally here. In Monte Verde. Which is officially the middle of nowhere. And I am sitting next to a horrible, bitchy American man who is making our entire nation look like dreadful, shitty people. So, I´m going to go.
But my New Year´s was wonderful, unexpected and perfect.
I hope yours was too...

|PPTP VPNs in Jaguar
|If only i could choose default routes
|2002-10-17 11:35:15
Response to: If only i could choose default routes
This fix does not work. That only comes into play when the machine has no network connection at all - it decides which one to try first based on the order in that dialog. There are some apps out there that allow you to start a PPTP connection (PiePants and DigiTunnel, among others) but none of them appears to work with Jaguar (10.2)... so I am stuck. There is a built-in pptp client in Jaguar, which connects fine but doesn't have an option to disable default route. I have tried the following (in a terminal window)

If only i could choose default routes
2003-03-31 23:26:45 anonymous2 [View]
After setting up the VPN connection, try running the following script. You will of course need to change the IP addresses to fit your needs. In the example below, 192.168.100.0/24 is the local network, and 192.168.1.0/24 is the remote network we are vpn'd to. This is self-healing; when the vpn is disconnected the routes will fix themselves.
# delete the broken default route
sudo route delete default
# add the route to the vpn network
# via the pptp interface
sudo route add -net 192.168.1.0 \
-netmask 255.255.255.0 -interface ppp0
# set the new default route
sudo route add default 192.168.100.254

Removing stains and neon signs.
Your clothes say a lot about you, but if they could literally speak, they'd tell you a secret: Dry cleaning and French cleaning are the same thing. The latter just costs more because it shows that the proprietor knows his history (thus, earning that history degree left him with student loans to pay off).
As the story goes, a Frenchman named Monsieur Jolly-Bollin noticed that camphene from a spilled lantern removed stains from a tablecloth. Sadly, his discovery was named "dry cleaning" and not "jolly cleaning," which would've been more relevant (your clothes need cleaning after you've been jolly in them) and less misleading since the process is very wet. When clothes are dry cleaned they're washed in a solvent called perchloroethylene or "perc" for short. The perk of perc is that it's good at removing oil-based stains. Unfortunately, it's also toxic and a source of ground-water pollution. And that smell? It's actually caused by dirty perc, so if you don't like the odor, find a place that consistently uses fresh perc.
The question of "organic" dry cleaning is a lint trap I'll avoid right now, but I'll share with you that when I pushed my dry cleaner to tell me what makes his process organic, he told me that he will wash my clothes in water (no perc) if I request that service. All-righty then.
What got me on the topic of dry cleaning are neon signs. Dry cleaners have some of the best ones around. In contrast to how neon is used for Vegas and beer signs, the medium is simplified and a bit architectural when it's used to distill a white button-down shirt into a crisp illustration made with tubes. It's simple and straightforward – a world where being wild means putting on a tie.
Neon is a noble gas, and that's not a reference to Prince Charles and baked beans. Rather, the term refers to an odorless, colorless, monatomic gas that has a low chemical reactivity. When a high-voltage current is run through a glass tube filled with neon (or argon or phosphor), the gas glows. The tubes are often made of borosilicate glass, which is highly heat resistant. (We sell glass coffee mugs made out of this stuff.)
There's an art to how the glass tubes are bent into words and images, and some of the most outrageous examples of neon signs appeared in the 1940s and '50s in Las Vegas. Unlike the furniture that defines mid-century modern, the signs from this era are aces in decorative excess.
The Stardust Hotel in 1958 (top), and the updated façade and roadside sign in 1964 (bottom).
Doing justice to neon was the Stardust Hotel, with its façade covered in an exploding solar system and sparkling neon starbursts. Using 7,100 feet of neon tubing and more than 11,000 light bulbs, the sign was visible from 60 miles away. In 1991, the typeface was updated to a less groovy-age font but that wasn't enough to save the hotel, which closed in 2006.
The Stardust building was demolished, however its signage went to the "bone yard" of retired signs at the Young Electric Sign Company (YESCO). In the mid 1990s, the Allied Arts Council realized that YESCO had hundreds of these cultural relics on their property, which led to the creation of the Las Vegas Neon Museum. The Museum's holdings of decommissioned signs are currently stored in two open-air lots, but in 2011 it will open a park filled with neon artifacts from 70 years of Vegas landmarks. The Museum's visitors' center will be in the former lobby of the La Concha Motel, designed in 1961 by Paul Revere Williams.
Like a neon sign that was saved when its hotel was demolished, the La Concha lobby was rescued by local preservationists when the hotel's owner wanted to make room for a larger casino. To move the lobby, with its 28-foot-high swooping concrete roof, the structure was cut into eight pieces and reassembled on the Museum's property.I look forward to checking out the Neon Museum when it opens, and I'm especially interested in seeing the museum's own signage – will it be outrageous neon or simple and straightforward, like a dry cleaners' shirt?

A new question for the jury: Did my brain implant make me do it? « The Jury Room
We've written as lot about "brain malfunction" [aka "did my brain make me do it?"] defenses here but this is a new twist on the neurolaw question. Deep brain stimulation ("DBS") is a well-accepted treatment for a number of serious and treatment resistant neurological conditions from Parkinson's Disease to depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As effective as DBS can be, there are also concerns about how, in some patients, it changes one's personality to cause "undesirable or even deviant behavior". The behavioral/personality changes depend on the location of the deep brain stimulation (and the functions carried out by that portion of the brain).
So. You have a condition for which everyday treatment is ineffective or causes side-effects worse than the condition itself. Your doctor suggests a brain implant to offer deep brain stimulation (DBS). You are unfortunately, one of those for whom DBS creates behavioral reactions and you do something illegal. Are you responsible? Or is it your brain implant? […]
The article is very complex and the ideas in it are provocative. We cannot do justice to the questions raised by these writers in a brief blog post. It's a very serious question.
"When you agree to a cutting-edge treatment and you are informed that for some people, behavioral changes may occur, do you thereby accept responsibility for any actions you take under the influence of that treatment?
"Or, since the behavior is completely different than anything you have previously displayed and is thus believed due to the treatment (which can be shut off) is it fair to deny responsibility?
"And if you encounter aberrant behavioral effects but decide to not shut off the DBS because you appreciate the ways in which it helps you function, are you then more responsible for any illegal act you committed since you are choosing to continue down the same path?"
Yes. This is a new question. Not, "did my brain make me do it?" but "did my brain implant make me do it?". Ultimately, however, the larger question remains the same. Where does our personal responsibility end?
A slightly newer twist but I agree that it is the same problem of individual responsibility which is deconstructed into it's functional components.

Open air collapses. Right on time.
All planned misfortune. She rides
the waves. Finds a way to let go, resists
the urge to let this feel like dying. She
is nothing short of intensely alive. She
is hungry. To not hear her own voice.
She wants not to be alone in this choice.
She has faith that she is not alone here.
This ground, if she closes her eyes and
flattens her palms, as a herd of buffalo runs,
close enough to turn her bones to earth.
This is a very good place to see from.
She must learn to look, to observe in
tranquility, even as sand blows into her
Love keeps this alive.
Do not provide a host for inferior influences.
Living like this is such a crazy rush. Like falling, so fast. Like a wave of water to the chest,
an ocean wave sweeping me under. I smile as I wonder if I will take another breath.
Nervous. Excited. Happy.
Faith. I lose my edges and burst into glitter. Grateful. Humble.
Yes. Here I am she cries, tears, salt, life,
It pours down her cheeks. Here I am. Here is
Where I am. She gasps, bursting. She beholds
What she has found. Here I am with where I am.
Facts. The depth of time. The way. Perspective.
Love. Love. Faith. Calm. Gratitude. Awareness.
Existence. Beauty. Love. Warmth. Kindness. Balance.
Gentleness. Appreciation. Non-judgment.

I am obedient, I am faithful, I am kind, I am gentle,
I am patient, I am present, I am calm, I am in bliss,
I am certain. I am certain of my perspective.

I believe in listening to vibrations.
I believe in finding yourself. I still fall down.
I still get back up. I forgive myself. To darkness
I am blind, to no one am I deaf.
I am not afraid. I am not afraid.
{stop thinking about it and love it. Now. Right now. Enough excuses/explanations/theories/speculationsàpositive faith, acceptance}
Life is so enjoyable when you're living.
You are more real to me than anything else in my reality, because you are the same, in every dimension, in all my perceptions, you remain the same.
Whatever will be, will be.
Im awake, just now, here. Ive just awoken.
To start fresh. Over and over. TO FORGIVE ß
I see you in mindfulness, how can I appreciate
You fully, this is my focus.
Forgiveness. Compassion. Deep listening.
She dreamt so hard she changed the color of her eyes. She wishes, urged so deep, she shaped her body, braced to run.
Facts and acceptance
Not to want, not to expect
What we want we should bring ourselves,
What we are given, these are gifts.
peace, love, harmony, creation.

It's very well drawn, but not very realistic. An orbital installation wouldn't be shaped like a church; especially the windows/holes are very odd.
You are right.
Really, who cares if it's realistic? It's awesome! The bolts are indeed a nice touch, and I like the slightly blotchy stencil lettering. Very fitting.
The engineers on this project were clearly told that the bosses needed something that would let them "go medieval" on the enemy, and they just took it overly literally.
Pretty cool if you ask me. War hammer 40k has cruisers shaped like cathedrals and it works so I have no problems with this design. Perfect for a militaristic theological society!
Wow, this is really good Troedel, I agree with Mearrin and Seraphine, in a fantasy setting you have more creative liberty with your architectural choices. So I wouldn't worry too much that the blending of historical architectural design would seem odd in or own world; it might be right at home in another.

A 28-year-old woman who was slightly injured when her Honda Accord hit a Cadillac Escalade driven by Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps in Baltimore's Mid-Town Belvedere neighborhood is to be charged with running a red light, a city police spokesman said Friday.
The woman is identified in a police report as Amanda Elizabeth Virkus of Sandy Spring in Montgomery County. If found guilty of the citation, she faces a $180 fine and three points against her driving record. Virkus suffered neck and shoulder injuries, according to the city Fire Department, and was treated at Maryland Shock Trauma Center and released.
Phelps and his three passengers - a man from Ann Arbor, Mich., a woman from Staten Island, N.Y., and a woman from Baltimore - were not injured in the accident at 9 p.m. Thursday at North Calvert and East Biddle streets that left the 2009 Escalade with a crumpled front end and its driver's side air bag deployed.
But the Baltimore Police Department's chief spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, said Phelps gave officers an invalid Michigan driver's license. The spokesman said Phelps will be summoned to court for the driver's license problem and was issued a $40 citation because he hasn't established a legal residency in Maryland.
Phelps, who grew up in Rodgers Forge and now lives in a waterfront condo in Fells Point, has trained for several years with his coach, Bob Bowman, at the University of Michigan as well as in Baltimore. Neither Phelps nor Bowman could be reached for comment; his agent did not return several calls on Friday.
The police report says Phelps told officers that he had one beer an hour and a half before the accident. Police said they put Phelps in a squad car, where he did "not show any signs of fatigue or alcohol use. Mr. Phelps was able to converse lucidly and was able to walk steadily without assistance. In addition there was no odor of alcohol about his person." The report concludes there was no legal probable cause to administer a Breathalyzer test.
Phelps - who holds the Olympic record with 14 gold medals, including eight at the games in China - pleaded guilty in 2004 to driving while impaired by alcohol in Wicomico County on the Eastern Shore. More recently, he was photographed holding a bong commonly used to smoke marijuana, which got him suspended from his sport for three months.
Police said Phelps was eastbound on Biddle Street and had a green light at Calvert Street. They said Virkus was driving north on Calvert. A woman walking on the east side of Calvert told police that she saw the crosswalk sign on the east side of Calvert "change from a blinking upraised hand to a solid upraised hand [and] observed a silver Honda Accord travel [northbound] on Calvert Street [and] run the red light."
The woman told police, according to the report, that the Escalade entered the intersection simultaneously, and the collision sent both cars sliding northeast across the intersection, where the Honda slammed into the back of a parked car and the Escalade hit and overturned a mail box.
In an interview with police at the scene, an officer asked Phelps, "What color was the light?" and he answered, "Green, 100%," according to the report. Phelps told the officer he had been coming from Penn Station. The officer then asked him, "Had you been drinking tonight?" and Phelps answered, "One beer at 7:30 p.m., and I left the house at 8:10 p.m."

Many Teens Display Risky Behavior on MySpace
Reuters: More than half of teenagers mention risky behaviors such as sex and drugs on their MySpace accounts, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
They said many young people who use social networking sites such as News Corp's MySpace do not realize how public they are and may be opening themselves to risks, but the sites may also offer a new way to identify and help troubled teens.
"We found the majority of teenagers who have a MySpace account are displaying risky behaviors in a public way that is accessible to a general audience," said Dr. Dimitri Christakis of Seattle Children's Research Institute, whose studies appear in the journal Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine.
In one of two studies, Christakis and Dr. Megan Moreno of the University of Wisconsin analyzed 500 randomly chosen MySpace profiles of 18-year-olds in 2007.
Overall, 54 percent of the publicly available accounts they checked contained information about high-risk behaviors: 41 percent mentioned substance abuse, 24 percent sexual behavior and 14 percent violence.
Christakis said many teens are unaware of how public and permanent Internet information can be, while parents often do not know what their kids are up to.

En route to rock bottom number two, and despite the efforts of Senior IRS agent Martin Almond, TR proceeds to rewrite the show, sad-eat a pile of marshmallows, crawl into a bag, and fall in love a bunch of times while threatening suicide. From within the madness, TR begins to suspect that his "tormentor" Martin Almond might be the only thing propping him up.

Franklin - A Milwaukee County snowplow driver suffered minor injuries after he lost control of his plow and crashed into the side of a Walgreens on South 27th Street on New Year's Eve, according to a Franklin police report.
Also from the report:
According to a witness, the plow was traveling east on Ryan Road at 27th Street when it struck a guard rail, went across a grassy median and over a curb and hit the east side of Walgreens, 9527 S. 27th St., shortly after 6 a.m. Dec. 31. The plow severely damaged a Redbox rental machine but caused only minor damage to the building.
After the plow came to rest, the driver opened his door and stated, "I must have blacked out," according to the witness. The witness told officers that it didn't look like any brakes were applied after the driver lost control of the snowplow.
The plow driver, a 36-year-old West Allis man, had a head laceration and was treated at the scene. No citations have been issued, and the accident is still under investigation.

yes, but what are the readers saying about the hostages that are being held by murderous terrorists in algeria? likely they're saying much the same as they did about the benghazi murders….oh wait. they didn't say much, did they? that's because neither did you. you were focused on idiotic things, just as you are now. you have diminishing credibility wsj. possibly barack and michelle obama are two of the most decadent, deceitful people on the planet. that's what this reader thinks.
What 516 thinks matters as much as what you think.
Okie dokie?
If radical islam groups are responsible, don't expect to hear much about it….they are supposed to be "on the run" you know.
In the first 4 years, he divided the nation to a place that it hasn't been since the civil war.
He took control of the heatlh care system, which is 1/6 of the economy.
He took control of the auto industry.
He took control of the banking industry.
He spent us into a state of weakness, and has done little for the economy.
Let's see, what did I predict earlier….here on this very blog.
I have before said, that in the next 4 years, he will go after wall street, big oil, and guns.
will again tell us to tighten our belts and not go to Vegas, while they take record vacations.
Can't help remembering how they said we should spend our hard earned vacation dollars….on the suffering gulf, after the oil spill.
How many nights did they stay there? ONE….before they jetted off to Martha's Vineyard, and then she fed Spain's economy with a big hunk o cash.
and gloves don't clash with her dress this time.
Coming from a Communist mentored community organizer and a poor patient dumping hospital executive?
the fact that these two guttersnipe scoundrels are in the white house is unthinkable. the two of them together can't muster an ounce oh honesty, integrity or competence. people get the government they deserve. whatch the country implode.
Yeah !!! 4 more years of whiny right wing losers.
Stop the war on drugs and cut the unnecessary military spending. that is about 99% of it.
My hopes: deal intelegently with environental stewardship of our sacred America to maintain the general health/well being of all, such as, establish energy independence, cut unneeded military spending and transfer $ to infrastructure and public transportation, tax polluting industries to pay for the full, future cost incurred.
If you are thinking, I use the term loosely, there will be positive change during this second term, then you may be delusional. The actions to date, the results of those deeds by this administration, clearly demonstrate the negative impact that is affecting this country. What will the next four years bring? Either the complete destruction of this country as we know it or the rebirth of a way of life which is is unequaled in the history of the world. To get to either end there will be a horrific struggle. This is what we truly face.
Howz about stopping welfare for people on drugs and cut the unnecessary record pork spending?
popularity, as the policies that he pushed through the first term, come to frutiion…and the sheeple who believed the media that all he did was good…will feel the burn.
What is a whiny?
are headed down the slippery slope.
What did you think about all of that pork in the fiscal cliff bill?
Millions to rum producers, electric motorcycle makers…and 222 million to Hollywood, who supports Obama.
Stop whining about paying for military, when the guy YOU elected hands our tax dollars over to the 1 percent who support him, Hollywood…..and of all stoopid things, in a fiscal cliff bill.
to save money? Cut military to save money?
While Obama has blown more money on pork and waste than any president in our history?
Nice plan.
The "three" letter word that Biden told us, was Obama's top priority in his last term.
Radical islamists are NOT on the run….they are killing innocent people in Algeria, Afghanistan, Libya….etc, etc.
Why is it that this administration just seems to turn their heads?
Lies and omissions, daily, from this administration and it's liberal media.
We are a more divided people than we were 4 years ago, that is a fact.
I mourn 4 more years of partisan agenda, more implementation of socialism and government control, hypocrisy and more foolish spending that is likely to bring us to our knees. Nevermind, we were brought to our knees last term…..I am thinking flat on our faces.
it's rough under the bus, i hope his chickens come home to roost.
I hope for bigger and more expensive vacations.
I hope to eventually rule the world….not just America.
I hope that the people eventually find out who was responsible for Benghazi.
We have no hope, thanks to radical Islam, that is alive, well and flourishing in the middle east…and neither do Americans who were denied security at the American Embassy in Libya.
I hope to run in 2016…I am FINALLY getting to do some stuff and get my name in the news.
who re-elected this man…..understand that what they voted for, is not what the media told them they were voting for.
They are about to find out.
He is getting what he and whoever is behind him wanted now, a second term….safe in the arms of his liberal media whose mission is to sugar coat his warts, and turn his negatives into positives.
He achieves his goal….unlike the dead in Benghazi, buried in a tangled web of lies by this administration, and the dead children in Newtown, the first mass murders after his re-election, who he is suddenly now using to pass the agenda, had he tried to pass in his last term, may have cost him that re-election.
I hope that he is as happy as a clam.
paid back for running the nastiest campaign in history. Mitt Romney is an upstanding guy….he is faithful in helping others, following his Biblical beliefs. Huge amounts of his money to charity.
For the Obama campaign to be a part of the story that he killed a woman with cancer….and the media to happily put it on the front page….for all of the low information voters to believe…was disgusting.
What goes around, comes around. I wouldn't be messing with a man who gives that much to charity….the one who watches over us has to find favor with that.
What goes around…comes around.
Can't wait to see what his payback with be for doing that to Romney…kind of like his Benghazi lies backfired and he lost his first choice to replace Hillary.
Just like that lie was not without a consequence…sometime, when he is least expecting it, karma will come a knocking for the vile lie he told about Romney.
I think that Romney is better off for not winning…Obama will now have to face the music of his own agenda in the last 4 years.
No one to blame but himself.
can't wait to see what his payback WILL be….
coming in the next 4 years, looking at the pile of people under his bus.
of msdnc, etc, ignoring what he does wrong.
The lies, playing down facts…like it took him 12 days to visit the gulf oil spill, and the fact that they excoriated Bush for Katrina, and 24 hours a day, reported what was wrong….yet didn't do a whole lot of reporting on Sandy in comparison.
Obama made a quick stop by the rich part of the jersey shore, before getting right back to campaigning…did the liberal msm just totally miss that one? (sarcasm)
evil for the endless Iraq war, and we got an indepth daily death toll…unlike the media ignoring obama's endless Afghanistan war, and speaking little of the fact that there have been many more deaths there under Obama, than Bush.
Where did the war protesters go???? Hmmm….perhaps they were just protesting Bush, huh? Where are they about Afghanistan? Where are they about the illegal war Obama declared on Libya?
I predict they won't show up in the next 4 years, either.
blamed for high gas prices, and the media NOW tells us that it isn't the president that controls that.
That is, after Obama and 15 top democrats whined and whined and whined, about Bush causing gas prices to rise.
I predict that Bush will not get an apology note from those grumpy democrats, and that Obama will not be blamed for our continued high gas prices.
I predict that the tea party will have a revival, and again, rock the mid terms.
I predict that obama the senator who said that raising the debt ceiling was very, very bad for all of us, and refused to vote for it…will continue to try and raise it to new high heights.
will finish us off in the next 4 years…Europe, here we come.
Then, probably worse after that.
two guttersnipes in the whitehouse, actually believing they are deservant of the honor. the worst of it is, when obozo's done, valarie will likely come out from behind the curtain and run for president herself, despite having technically served two terms already. after that we can look forward to michelle, arguably the most contemptible female on the planet. it's over ladies and gentlemen. start planning the exodus now while we can still get out.
with Russia will be revealed…no doubt in regards to nuclear weapons. Did msdnc and her sisters headline that one? Why not ???
Our president making secret plans with Putin, sending him secret messages……plans that will need to be put of until after his re-election…when he has more "flexibility".
No doubt in regards to nuclear weapons. China and Russia, salivating, at the thoughts of us disarming ourselves. When our power is gone, there is no one to interrupt the Hitlers. If China and Russia band together, they can literally rule the world. Who will stop them, after all of our nukes are gone?
The UN? LOL
will further weaken foreign policy….if his first term indicates his future actions.
He came in knowing nothing about it, a jr senator, community organizer, and his inexperience is apparent.
Throw that in with his far left philosophy, and we will have a situation in 4 years, that will even make his own moderates shudder.
This man has spent more of our money than any other president, after degrading Bush for his spending…and he spent it on wasteful porkulous paybacks, partisan agenda, expanding welfare in record numbers….yet he has consistently cut one thing….the military.
Has the lamestream media told the Americans ?
2010, he cut 487 billion from defense budget.
2011, he signed a bill cutting 492 billion more over the next 10 years.
Soooo……we have a stimulus full of porkulous waste, welfare, and payback for a trillion….yet we barebone our defense, taking a trillion from it?
What could go wrong there?
Panetta has labeled the cuts as "devastating".
Have any of you libbies heard about
"START"….Obama's treaty with Russia that gave them a lopsided advantage?
We reduce our weapons, they are given room to expand. Remember, he started this with
the withdrawal of Bush's plan to place a missile defense system in Europe.
Sooo……he lied when he campaigned…and we leave Europe open for atttack, while decreasing our arms, while Russia builds an arsenal.
The last time I looked, Russia is becoming a global destabilizing force. Think they love us because of Obama?
Why did they cut off allowing adoptions by americans? Obama is castrating us, and they are laughing in our faces because of his foolishness.
The president campaigned on Iran not obtaining nuclear weapons….using diplomacy and sanctions.
Instead of slowing, they have sped up, and are now about there. Obama talks down using military action, which Iranian leaders see as weakness.
A nuclear armed Iran will be a dangerous twist. Israel will be threatened, there will be an arms race in the middle east, and as their capabilities improve, they will be a threat to Europe and America.
Leading from behind….the new normal.
in his second term.
200 million of them worldwide.
Obama put the muslim brotherhood in power in egypt…how is that working out?
How are things in Libya with the radicals?
He failed miserably in both of those countries….while we ignored mass Syrian genocide.
Islamists will take over there….a further threat to the world and Israel close up and personal.
Obama has no plan there.
He will seek to continue to push Israel to compromise…and the conditions of the recent truce and ceasefire compromise their security, their borders.
An emerging world power that is a threat to our global interests.
Their navy is expanding rapidly, while Obama is cutting ours back….and like Romney pointed out in a debate, the navy has asked for a certain number of ships to operate, and obama has limited them to a number well below that.
China protects the festering danger, North Korea….which Obama made a food deal with in his first term, that they promptly violated, conducting illegal tests. Kim Jong is firing at South Korea…he is a threat. North Korea makes money off of weapons of mass destruction, and acts violently towards Japan and South Korea.
Obama is silent.
China has attempted some military intimidation of japan, phillipines, vietnam….and their navy will soon surpass ours, that obama has put on a crash diet.
moves away from the middle east to the asia pacific area….putting troops and ships there.
Yet if China is bigger and better….while we continue to downsize….what's the purpose?
4 moreyears of America weakening significantly.
Kowtowing to Russia and China.
Ignoring while enabling Iran and North Korea.
Lying by denying the growing like cancer Islamic threat.
Lying about the growing chaos in Afghanistan..and no doubt leaving, at which time the Taliban will retake Kabul, and Pakistan will grow more radical. Islamabad with radicals and 100 nukes will threaten all around it, including India.
Our debt by 2016 will be 20 trillion,
Our nuclear weapons will be reduced to 300. Obama has already taken us from 5,000 to around 1,500…..300 is a number small enough for an enemy to easily target.
Did I mention that China can still, in the meantime, produce whatever number it wants? Estimates say that they may already have 1,800.
estimated that china has the number of weapons above. He said that the western community has underestimated it's power and ability, considering it's resources.
Obama has talked nukes with the Russians…but if China has the new stockpile…do you think that they will protect the world, as America has in the past?
of a world where economy, military and nuclear power are widely shared….is indeed, ideological.
I think he sorely misses the fact that America has protected the world…yet has not taken control of the countries that it protected. THAT….is what has set us apart from the rest of the world.
Reduce us to a much lesser power, and the ones who will conquer and control….will rule all of us.
will be an easy takeover….for the guy with the most nukes.
Obama's college transcripts released; explains why he exacerbated America's problems.
Obama's campaign exposed for masking significant foreign contributions as national.
Valarie Jarrett exposed as Iranian spy; deported.
Hillary Clinton tied directly to Benghazi, other diplomatic failures; exits political stage for good.
Bill Clinton exits too; though new reality show, Dirty Old Commander-in-Chief, highlighting his current and old dalliances, wins Golden Globe.
Joe Biden finally donates to charity; laugh track used at every public talk, jeers played when he lies.
Senate passes a budget; Harry Reid quits in disgust.
Updated immigration law; increased enforcement, fluency in English for ALL applying, zero SS benefits for life for those who lied, cheated, stole identities, no more anchor babies.
California sold to Mexico, settling $16.5 trillion of our debt; we retain oil, gas rights.
Earned Income Credit ends for non-U.S. citizens.
Obamaphone users/minutes cut; remaining phones orange in color, weighing ten pounds.
Obama refocuses class warfare on generations of individuals and families who've abused America's generosity; demands personal responsibility, cuts benefits to them (of course, Obama wouldn't for the fear of losing votes)
I.D. required to vote; low info, ineligible voters drop out.
GOD shows up, tells radical Islam, other despots to knock off their s–t.
Congress passes law that if you vote for it, you own it; hence, all those voting for more spending become co-signers, responsible for significant shares of those debts over those who vote no.
GOP adds control of Senate in 2014; ObamaCare out, U.S. jobs significantly up soon after.
Obama for America arm caught in voter fraud; swings electoral count; Romney takes over.
Fanciful, of course, but hopes and dreams like those are exactly how to survive the next four with this inept, divisive, community-organizer.
That….should be published….brilliance with a dash of humor.
You write like the Anonymous who is very conservative….maybe you are her?
Good stuff.
radicals, as he continues to pat himself on the back for single handedly taking out obl. Over and over last fall at the DNC….joe even got in on the act. Hopefully it has helped serve it's purpose of getting him re-elected and he can now stop bragging like a high school boy with a conquest.
Terrorists are smart enough to keep up the with news that liberals don't get here…and truth is, Obama knew where obl was, for almost a year, before he chose to act.
They see him as weak, watching him deal with Iran, and especially after the Benghazi cover up….it is his agenda and whatever suits his own purposes…. over what is right.
will be lost in 2013 because of obamacare….30 million added to the roles of care.
Nothing could go wrong there.
I hope that the people who voted for this man, will be happy waiting in line for their health care in the new Europe.
Maybe he can fund some more radical's ascension into power in the middle east with our tax dollars.
Democracy, what the people really wanted, is working sooooo well, in egypt, being administered by radical muslims.

The Hailun Company began as a successful manufacturer of piano parts to the world's piano market. They have been used by a variety of makers, including several of Europe's most prestigious manufacturers and they developed a reputation for consistency and quality. In 1986, Hailun became an independent company and, using the newest and most advanced technologies, began to produce pianos.
Up until 2005, Hailun was making their own instruments, but were also providing manufacturing and partial manufacturing to many other companies, including Brodmann and Palatino. It was at this time that Mr. Chen Hailun decided that rather than putting so much energy into serving other manufacturers, he would concentrate solely on developing a worldwide reputation for his own product, the Hailun piano.
To that end, Mr. Hailun Chen hired some the finest names in piano design and production and is taking advantage of their expertise:
The Chief Designer for Hailun is American George F. Emerson. With 32 years of piano design experience with well-known companies such as Baldwin Piano and Organ as well as Mason & Hamlin, Mr. Emerson's unique expertise has lead to innovative contributions to Hailun's production work.
Tuning, voicing and sound quality are the purview of European Zlatkovic Sibin. Mr. Sibin counts 20 years in the industry and was affiliated with the famous European piano builder Bosendorfer.
Senior Technical Advisor, Austrian Peter Veletzky, has spent his life in the piano building business. He became, at the age of 22, the youngest person in Austria at that time to become a licensed piano producer.
Ema Shigeru of Japan serves as Head of Production for Grand Pianos. With over 30 years of experience with Kawai, Mr. Shigeru also worked at Asahi. Personally examining every grand piano produced at Hailun, Mr. Shigeru's dedication and commitment to excellence are evidenced by the consistent quality of Hailun Grands.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) governs both production and assembly line processes as a part of Hailun's objective to ensure that the quality of product meets world standards. "Five Axis Machining" is used throughout the production process. This technology ensures that all components are machined to exacting specifications and guarantees a precision outcome every time with each component manufactured.

Rosemont, IL (Sports Network) - Cleveland Melvin notched a game-high 26 points, eight rebounds and four steals, as the DePaul Blue Demons earned a 98-67 win over the Austin Peay Governors in the second round of the Cancun Challenge from Allstate Arena.
Brandon Young added 17 points and Moses Morgan scored 15 off the bench for the Blue Demons (2-1), who will resume tournament play on Tuesday against Wichita State at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun.
The Governors (1-2) will take on Western Carolina Tuesday afternoon in Cancun. Anthony Campbell led the way with 17 points in a losing effort, while Will Triggs scored 12 and Travis Betran finished with 10.
DePaul opened the game with eight straight points before Austin Peay settled down to cut the deficit to 14-11. However, the Blue Demons answered with an 18-2 run to grab a 32-13 lead and never looked back. They went on to shoot 54.3 percent from the floor in the first half, including a 6-of-14 effort from beyond the arc, to take a 58-30 lead into the break.
The Blue Demons cooled off a bit in the second stanza, but Austin Peay made only 3-of-10 3-pointers after halftime and was unable to close the gap.
The Governors committed a staggering 27 turnovers for the game with only 11 assists. Five different DePaul players notched multiple steals.

text: THE AIR IS OXYGEN GENIUS After Wendy and Dave had finished collecting all of their specimens for the day, they decided to compete in an all out tug of war. The stakes were quite high, as the winner was to receive the looser's hermetically sealed helmet. Wendy's solid core propelled her to an easy victory, and Dave reluctantly detached his hermetically sealed helmet. Moments later he was face down in the mud, apparently dead. Wendy waited a few seconds and kicked him in the head. He screamed "DAMN WENDY! Why'd you kick my head? Am I in hell?". Wendy replied, "The air is oxygen genius. You only passed out because you were holding your breath like damn fool. Pull yourself together man." Dave pretended to pull himself together, but deep inside he knew that he was in hell. salton sea california astronaut space ocean landscape tanner vicki oxygen prose creative writing
