I'm trying to squeeze a text into a shape so that after removing the shape the text gives the impression of the shape. In the above example MYTEXT should go into the elipse.
How can i do this with inkscape ?
TIP - if you don't want the text to go right into the tips of the corners, add a '+' to the beginning and the end of the text and then when you're done, paint these characters white or transparent. This is because when you convert text to a path, it will ignore any leading or terminating spaces because they're not part of the 'path'
EDIT - additional example

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.

A recent Piper Jaffray analysis of global unlocked smartphone prices solidifies the firms expectation that Apple will be launching a low-cost iPhone later this year. The new handsets purpose will be to compete in the untapped market that is currently estimated to be worth $135 billion in 2013. Gene Munster recently reiterated his stance that Apple is likely to release a more affordable iPhone targeting developing regions like China and India.
According to Gene Munster:
a lower priced iPhone will be a positive for AAPL shares for two reasons. First despite its lower margin, it should accelerate gross profit growth given the size of the low-end market (we estimate $135B in 2013); second, investors have historically bought into AAPL ahead of major new product releases.
He expects Apple to debut an affordable $199 iPhone in the September quarter and believes the company could sell around 37 million units over the remainder of 2013. This number would jump to around 96 million units for 2014 and 170 million units in 2015.

NEW YORK -- We're less than two months into the season, but the New York Knicks already are facing what feels like a pivotal stretch of the schedule: a few weeks without Tim Hardaway Jr.
Hardaway is out for the next two weeks (at least) due to a stress ailment in his left shin. He will be evaluated on Dec. 19, but there's a chance that he could be sidelined well beyond that initial evaluation. If Hardaway has a stress fracture, he'd be out for a least a month. If there's no fracture, he could return shortly after that two-week evaluation.
At the very least, the Knicks will have to figure out how to thrive without their No. 2 scorer for the next six games.
If Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies was any indication, it might not be that difficult.
Nearly every lineup change associated with Hardaway's absence worked out well for New York against Memphis.
Courtney Lee, filling in at shooting guard, had a team-high 24 points. Lance Thomas, in the starting lineup at small forward in Hardaway's absence, helped the Knicks limit Memphis to 41 percent shooting.
Michael Beasley, back in a reserve role with Kristaps Porzingis (18 points) in the lineup, had 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting (along with just one turnover).
The Knicks used a combination of ball movement and solid team defense -- something they'd used during a surprisingly strong start to the season -- to overwhelm Memphis after a slow start. It's a formula that they'll probably have to rely on during Hardaway's absence.
"We know we can't outscore teams at this point. We need to play really good defense and get our points," coach Jeff Hornacek said.
It might sound a bit hyperbolic, but it's not a stretch to say that how the Knicks respond during Hardaway's absence could define their season. If New York (12-12) sputters with Hardaway out, team president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry might choose to unload veterans at the trade deadline with an eye toward the draft. (On that front, opposing teams continue to show interest in Lee, per league sources.)
But if the Knicks can tread water during Hardaway's absence -- and remain in playoff contention into late January -- maybe Mills and Perry look to bolster the roster at the Feb. 8 trade deadline and make a push for the postseason.
All of this, of course, underscores just how important Hardaway has been for New York. After a slow start, he established himself as one of the team's most productive players. The 25-year-old averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game before his injury, making most forget about the slack-jawed reaction to his $71 million contract over the summer.
"There's a reason when Steve Mills talked about getting Tim [over the summer]," Hornacek said recently.
Now Hornacek and the coaching staff will have to figure out how to make up for Hardaway's scoring and playmaking for the foreseeable future.
With Hardaway out, New York likely will rely heavily on Porzingis, Lee, Beasley, Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott to pick things up on offense.
If (very) recent history is any indication, Lee seems to be up for the challenge.
In his past five games, he is averaging 16.4 points per game on 58 percent shooting, including 54 percent from beyond the arc. Last week, Lee had a simple explanation for his recent offensive surge.
"We're not running the triangle," Lee said. "We're running a different offense that's more fast-paced, and it's more suitable for my style of play."
No matter what offense the Knicks run, Lee figures to continue to get plenty of opportunities to score with Hardaway out. Hornacek said he wanted Lee to shoot 15 or 16 shots per night with Hardaway sidelined, a 50 percent increase from Lee's average at the moment.
"I better warm my arm up," Lee joked after Wednesday's win.
Of course, the Knicks also will rely more heavily on Porzingis. The third-year big man was putting up All-NBA numbers early in the season, but had come back to earth more recently. Hardaway's injury gives Porzingis a chance to carry the Knicks during a pivotal stretch (and, as a byproduct, bolster his resume for a potential All-Star invite).
Porzingis, though, doesn't necessarily see it that way.
"I'm always trying to be aggressive, but I think I don't need to overdo things and do too much," he said. "I'm just going to play my game."
No matter how the Knicks approach things on offense with Hardaway out -- more shots for Porzingis, Lee or someone else -- it's clear that they're in the midst of a challenging stretch of the season. It's one that could determine whether they're playing for a playoff spot in April -- or for pingpong balls.

Jeff Dimock, vice president of Microsoft solutions at the IT consultancy Dimension Data Americas, expects IT organizations will like Windows Vista's tighter security. That's true even though it requires a change in both user behavior (to acknowledge the User Account Control, or UAC warnings when installing potentially harmful applications), and an update in applications (to run in user mode rather than administrator mode). "It's a lot more robust security model, but it does come at a price," he says.
The good news is that IT can control the new security model to some extent, so they can choose how much of a price is paid for that extra security.
Working with -- or around -- UAC
With Vista now installed on all 80 PCs, Collegiate Housing Services, a college facilities management firm, has seen a marked decrease in spyware and adware infections, says IT Director Sumeeth Evans. "Before Vista, we got one every other month. In the year since we deployed Vista, we've had none," he says. "We no longer need to use Spybot or Ad-Aware." He credits Vista's User Account Control feature, which makes users approve every potential installation of software, whether from applications or Web pages. "UAC tells the user what's going to happen before they do it," he observes.
Although some people have complained that UAC is overzealous and desensitizes users to threats by its constant "are you sure?" messages, Evans says Collegiate Housing countered that behavior through "social education," conveying that clicking OK by default was not the right response.
Still, he knows that not everyone responds in that desired way. "I'm sure some users do turn it off -- I do that, since sometimes it can be an annoyance. Microsoft did go a bit overboard," Evans says. That's why he is looking for a tool that would automatically approve known applications, so users only get challenged on unusual activity. A few such tools already exist, such as BeyondTrust's Privilege Manager 3.5.
At capacitor manufacturer Kemet, Global Infrastructure Manager Jeff Padgett has disabled the User Account Control security system. UAC is too invasive, he notes, making users confirm any suspicious activity before allowing it, which annoyed users and caused many to click OK without reading the warnings. Rather than use UAC, Padgett will continue to use Trend Micro's anti-malware software to protect the PCs. "While UAC would protect against rogue administrator-privileged apps, we couldn't afford to handle the user support [requests it would cause]," he says.
Padgett says UAC makes sense in a tightly controlled network environment, where most risks are filtered out before they get to the user, but that's not a realistic state for his network, as it connects to supplier and customer networks beyond Kemet's control.

Snowmobile Trailer Slides and Mats
Slide Guides Inc., which manufactures and distributes E-Z Off trailer slides and traction mats, is one of the leaders in the market because of our excellent customer relations and assistance, low cost, and undeniable product quality. Slide Guides wants your trailer to be set up properly just as much as you do. Some people may say; "E-Z Off slides, what are they for, how do they work?" Those are the exact questions this website is out to answer!
First off, E-Z Off slides are designed to eliminate the friction caused between carbide runners on the skis and the trailer deck. Between the weight of the snowmobile and the sharp carbides, loading and unloading a snowmobile can be a big chore. E-Z Off slides make loading and unloading almost effortless. Not only will E-Z Off slides make ending a long day of snowmobiling less tedious, but also will save your trailer deck from imminent destruction by the carbides.
E-Z Off slides are made out of an extruded Polycarbonite (plastic) material called polyethylene (recycled milk bottles). Polyethylene has a low coefficient of friction which makes it the perfect material for our application. We also add black coloring dye and a UV protectant to prevent the sides from becoming brittle and discolored. Summed up, E-Z Off slides are made of a plastic material that allow your snowmobile to slide on and off your trailer easily while remaining virtually maintenance free.
Because Slide Guides Inc. is in for the long haul, all of our slides are a solid one-piece construction. This means there are no seams for the carbide runner to catch, and this also results in better dimensional stability. Along with all of our slides we provide heavy duty stainless steel screws. The screws are counter sunk into the slides so that the carbide and stainless steel screws will never come in contact with each other. All of our slides are also pre-drilled for the screws that we provide and come with our clear and simple installation instructions. They can be easily and quickly installed.
Along with our slides, Slide Guides Inc. also offers traction (stud) mats to help protect your trailer deck and provide added traction. Our Traction Mats are made of recycled tires and have applications for snowmobiles with or without studs. Traction Mats are the perfect addition to a trailer with E-Z Off slides on it.
Slide Guides is out to please all of our customers. We will continue to provide great products and outstanding service throughout the future. We also appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have. We hope you enjoy our Web site and our products.

I know what I am
And I know who you are,
You are the enemy.
The law is laid down,
My rule is laid down
And the boundaries are set -
You're either friend or foe.
Our unity within the "scene"
Is a contradiction.
I don't unite
With what I despise.
Don't go along,
I won't get along
In this united scene dream.
I won't pretend to care
And waste my time,
Waste my time on you.
Our past was spent being a victim
Of rudicule and now the victim is you.
The game is gonna stop
With a confrontation
And we won't be take lightly.
Forget the past, it's time for a new school,
The HARDLINE - so now you're going
To see why you're our enemy.

Chapter 5-3 Part 3
Resident Evil 5 HD Walkthrough S-Rank Chapter 5-3: No Damage
|BSAA Emblem #26 - ...you'll want to destroy the second of three BSAA emblems found on this chapter. To do so, you won't want to yet step onto the elevator. Instead, stand just to the left of the elevator, so that you're still on the catwalk. Then, look around you. You're looking for a location above you on the gigantic walls surrounding the area that's markedly different than other areas. What you're looking for almost looks as if it's a control station of some sort. When you find this balcony-like area, use your sniper rifle to zoom in underneath it. The grated floor contains the emblem you seek, and though it's actually on the top of the catwalk, your rifle can still shoot through and strike it.
After you've struck the abovementioned emblem, head on the circular elevator. Use the control panel with both partners to begin sending the elevator careening upwards. Keep in mind that the elevator rotates as it heads on up, so you're going to get disoriented on your journey, no doubt. Immediately toggle to your sniper rifle, because it's the only weapon that will be even remotely effective as the elevator travels. Majini will show up in a couple of waves as you head on up to fire on you. For the most part, the gun-toting foes aren't really of issue. They're using machineguns, which have poor accuracy at such a long range. But what should (and will) concern you are the Majini in each wave that clutch a lever to slow the elevator down to a crawl. While you don't have to (and shouldn't) shoot at any other Majini, these thugs must be shot at in order for you to proceed. Unfortunately, the elevator will still be rotating, making these shots especially difficult, considering the range.
When the elevator finally reaches its apex, you'll be assailed by another group of Majini. These foes aren't exactly aggressive, but they will occupy the catwalk you need to use to get off of the elevator and into a nearby corridor. Stay on the elevator and use what cover you can to guard yourself from their incessant gun-shooting. Return fire when it's safe to thin their ranks, and then rush the remainders' positions for some easy kills. After grabbing all of the items they dropped, traverse the linear catwalk until you're finally out of this gigantic room. A nearby door will allow you to breach the next section of this chapter.
As you head down the narrow corridor, it will eventually open up into a much larger area, a place that seems to be focused on excavation of some sort. Be sure you pay close attention to your surroundings at the end of the tunnel leading into this room, because if you look at the top of the tunnel right before it ends, you'll see a Ruby (Brilliant) hanging out up there, which you can shoot down and subsequently acquire. Then, move into this room. For the time being, the room is completely devoid of enemies. You'll see an elevator on your left, but ignore it for now. Instead, run around grabbing what goods you can, and then approach the chasm straight ahead. A bridge normally gaps the chasm, but not until it's activated. To begin the process of activating said bridge, switch on the generator to the right of it. Then, head to the aforementioned elevator.
|BSAA Emblem #27 - Before messing with the elevator in order to proceed to the catwalks surrounding this room, you can destroy the third and final BSAA Emblem located on this chapter. Doing so is rather simplistic, so long as you know precisely where to look. Naturally, that's where we come in. Don't hail the elevator yet. Instead, work your way around to the back side of the elevator shaft, and then look in the shaft itself. If you're on the back side of the elevator, you'll see this emblem hanging in front of and slightly below your position. Shoot it!

Always look on the bright side of life - it may even help your cholesterol.
U.S. researchers writing in The American Journal of Cardiology have found better levels of "good cholesterol" and other markers of heart health in the blood of middle-aged study subjects with a sunny outlook on life.
At least some of the connection between optimism and blood lipids in the new study appeared to result from the optimists' tendency to have a healthy body weight and a "prudent" diet, according to researchers.
"It is one additional piece of evidence suggesting that our psychological health and physical health are intertwined, and that viewing the world optimistically may have some tangible benefits for our health," said lead author Julia Boehm, a research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Previous research by Boehm and her colleagues had shown a link between optimism and lowered heart attack risk, so they decided to look at whether there was an independent connection between optimistic or pessimistic outlooks and cholesterol, which is known to play a role in heart attack risk.
The group analyzed data from the Midlife in the United States study, which included phone interviews and lab tests for 990 people aged 40 to 70.
Based on the interviews, participants' levels of optimism were rated on a scale from 6 to 30 depending on their agreement or disagreement with statements like "in uncertain times I usually expect the best."
People with higher optimism scores also had more high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the desirable form of cholesterol that is believed to protect against heart disease. They also had lower levels of triglycerides, the fatty molecules involved in hardening of the arteries.
There was no connection between optimism and total cholesterol levels, or to low-density lipoproteins (LDL), the "bad" cholesterol.
Fore every increase of 5 points on the optimism scale, however, HDL in the blood increased by 1 milligram per deciliter.
That same HDL increase would translated to a three percent reduction in the risk for heart disease, experts said. For comparison, regular exercise can decrease heart disease risk by six percent.
"Honestly, I'm not surprised, this is what I expect," said Franz Messerli, a cardiologist at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in New York, who was not involved in the study.
It's still impossible to say whether optimism causes a change in cholesterol, or cholesterol influences outlook, or both are subject to some third variable, Messerli said.
Boehm's group did try to account for other influences, and when they factored in lifestyles, including diet and alcohol consumption, and body weight - the link between optimism and blood fats became weaker.
That suggests that optimists' tendency to have healthier lifestyles and weight may explain "in part" the differences in their blood lipids, researchers said.
Conversely, the risk of heart attack and stroke goes up in depressed people, Messerli said. "But nobody has shown the opposite, that all of a sudden if you go from a pessimist to an optimist your risk goes down," he added.

One of our core values: "THEY REFILLED MY RITALIN AND BY THE WAY I WANNA EAT YOUR BEAR HEAD."
I've considered it, yeah, but I'm worried the edges will snag and distort the squares if I don't. It will depend on how much heavy-duty use it will see, I think.Thanks.
If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.
I like the Luna one. She is a good one.
"Stop talking to yourself. You don't like you any better than anyone else who knows you."
Also, a border, even just a couple rows of black, will be a good place to bury the ends where the squares are stitched together. Looks great.
thats pretty cool. a friend of mine tried to show me how to do that a couple times, the objective was to sell stupid looking hats to hipsters at the local art walk. unfortunately i lack patience. i think we just got really drunk instead.
Very nice! I think a border is best, it will even up the edges.
I crochet. And weave, spin, quilt, etc. Whatever catches my attention. And given that my Holy NameTM includes "Geyser" and "Rainbow", I figured this was appropriate to share. :P Still needs a border but there you go. Rainbow yarn vomit all over the couch. *Edited to fix link snafu.
Quote from: Khara on March 22, 2011, 01:26:43 pmVery nice! I think a border is best, it will even up the edges.THIS! And love the colors!
are you going to make the border subtle? (like the few rows of black that was mentioned?)also, my wife said it looks awesome, too, and wondered how many skeins of yarn it is...

Rock Climbing 201
Now that you've completed Rock Climbing 101, you're ready to really put those skills to use on the cliff. We'll build off your basic climbing knowledge and focus on application: when is it best to use one technique rather than another? Which gear is most appropriate for which situation? Is it best to steer toward the cracks, or stick with the footholds on the face? All these issues can be addressed while getting in some great climbing, and we can add pitches of different character or difficulty as we go, depending upon your needs.
Notes: 1) Weather and conditions may inhibit us from covering all topics outlined in this course. Please be open to a flexible schedule. 2) Groups classes require a minimum enrollment of two people. If you are booking alone for a class your reservation is subject to change up until the last day if the minimum enrollment is not reached.

Fox has reduced the order of its midseason comedy The Goodwin Games from 13 episodes to seven, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
A lack of room on Fox's Tuesday comedy block is the reason for the change, according to a network rep. Fox recently ordered 24 episodes of Raising Hope, New Girl and The Mindy Project, along with 19 episodes of Ben and Kate. The seven Goodwin Games episodes will air sometime in the spring.
The single-camera comedy, from How I Met Your Mother executive producers Carter Bays, Craig Thomas and Chris Harris, stars Becki Newton, Scott Foley and TJ Miller as estranged siblings who reconnect when they stand to inherit a fortune after their father's death.
Exclusive: Becki Newton's real-life husband joins The Goodwin Games
Newton tweeted a picture of herself with Foley and Miller Friday, captioned "Last day of shooting on #TheGoodwinGames. A great adventure with great people."
Check out a behind-the-scenes look at the show below.

Maiden Lane: A Wine Bar that Shows the Virtue of Canned Seafood
Maiden Lane
162 Avenue B, New York, NY 10009 (at 10th; map); 646-755-8911; themaidenlane.com
Setting: Clean and stark, like Ikea's sexy cousin
Service: Quiet but friendly, very knowledgeable
Compare To: Ardesia, Anfora, Terroir
Must-Haves: Big Board, canned cod liver, salads
Cost: salads and sandwiches $6 to $12, smoked and preserved fish $7 each, canned seafood $7 to $15
Recommendation: Recommended with reservations. Well-sourced and -presented cured meats, fish, and cheese with a small but ample wine and beer selection. Don't go if you're expecting much by way of hot food.
Let's open a restaurant and bar in the East Village that doesn't serve liquor, has no kitchen, and prepares most of its food by opening a can and slapping it on a cutting board is the kind of business plan that wouldn't get much traction if it weren't coming from the two former general managers of Torrisi and Parm. But that's exactly what Nialls Fallon and Gareth Maccubbin have done with the old Life Cafe space on the northwest corner of Tompkins Square Park.
The space is not particularly East Village either. You can slide into a wide park bench-style wooden banquette, or sidle up to the concrete bar on a black stool. It all feels very minimalist Scandinavian, functional but very comfortable, like a showroom in Ikea's higher class, sexier sister store.
The kitchen space is as minimalist as the restaurant, currently consisting of nothing but a low-boy refrigerator, a sandwich station, and a single induction burner, which is currently used only for testing the few hot menu items that will eventually make an appearance.
For now, your options are limited to cured meats, fish, and cheese, as well as a number of salads and sandwiches, but thankfully there's a large array to choose from within those categories, all of it reasonably priced and quite good.
Some dishes rely on nothing but a few small composed cold elements. The best of the small bites is a spoonful of crème fraîche topped with cured salmon roe and a pinch of chives ($3 per spoon). The mildly salty eggs are plenty fresh and burst nicely on your tongue when you press them against the roof of your mouth. Pickled white anchovies with their pale flesh and glistening silver skin are also available by the piece ($1).
Tea sandwiches come in three flavors (Virginia ham, cucumber, and trout salad) at $5 each, slathered in softened butter, served cut into rectangles with the crusts removed. I didn't have tea to wash them down with, but my Ballast Point Sculpin IPA ($6) did the trick. It's one of a dozen or so bottles available, including $5 tall boys of Naragansett (are you even allowed to open a downtown bar without tall boys on the menu these days?).
There are no full cocktails on the menu, but a number of wine and beer-based drinks like the Black Vulture ($8), a kalimotxo variant made with red wine, Mexican coke, and a homemade sarsaparilla syrup which gives it a nice vanilla-scented root beer twang. But if you're looking for a predinner aperitif, it's hard to do better than bittersweet Vergano Chinato Americano from Piedmont, which is offered for $11 a glass.
Taking a glance at the rest of the drinks list reveals Maiden Lane's true identity: It's a wine bar that just happens to serve some good small plates and sandwiches. There are a dozen glass pours on the menu, along with over 50 bottles that lean toward coastal Old World wines with an affinity for seafood. There are a few small-producer grower-made Champagnes on the menu, and the extensive sherry list is worth exploring.
Tuna or salmon packed in water has given canned seafood a bad rap in this country, but that's not the case everywhere. Canned seafood has a place in the Spanish culinary repertoire as respected as, say, jarred foie gras in France or dried pasta in the Italian. That is, just because it ain't fresh, doesn't mean it can't be delicious. Maiden Lane embraces this concept more completely than any restaurant I've seen—fully half of its menu is made up of high quality canned Spanish seafood, served directly from the can with a side of parsley salad, bread, and softened butter.
Is this idea going to turn some people off? Probably, at first. But it's easy to forget once you've gotten a plump, tender mussel in escabeche on the end of your toothpick or a smear of butter-smooth confit cod liver spread on your toast. It helps that it's all reasonably priced as well. According to a quick calculation based on prices I found online, most of the cans are marked up around 60 to 80% from mail-order retail price. Compare that with the average 300 to 400% markup on basic food costs at most restaurants, or the 500 to 600% markups people pay on beer simply to sip it in a nice atmosphere from a good glass, and it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
The seafood doesn't only come in cans. There are also curated pickled and preserved fish plates on the front half of the menu (they come with onions, cucumber, and bread) ranging from whitefish salad from Russ & Daughters to a dill-cured salmon. Our favorite was a smoky trout salad laced with tarragon. You can order them individual for $7, a sampler of four for $20, or go all out with the big board ($50), a selection of 4 cured meats (on this visit we had Spanish morcilla, saucisson sec from Portland, smoked duck breast, and country ham), a few cheeses (from Germany, Ireland, and Italy), all of the preserved fish, and more accompaniments than I cared to take notes on.
It's a lot of food—easily enough to make a meal out of for two people or snacks for four to five, which may be the best way to experience it. This is the kind of place I'd visit with my roommate or my sister on a week night, or perhaps with some work colleagues for an early evening glass of wine.
The tomato salad we tried had some great tomatoes served as they should be—with just a drizzle of good olive oil, some salt, and a few leafy herbs (in this case shiso), along with a scattering of a creamy but mild German blue cheese.
We weren't quite as fond of the gazpacho, which hit all the right flavors—olive oil, good tomato, and sherry vinegar—but had a bit too much un-emulsified bread in it. As Max put it, "I don't want to have to chew my soup."
A better pick for a solo diner might be the chorizo sandwich ($10), which comes open-faced and topped with pickled green tomatoes, shallots, a spicy Old Bay mayo, and a big herb salad what was just a bit too herbal for our tastes.
I could easily see myself ordering a trout salad and a glass of wine for dinner, or a chorizo sandwich with a homemade sarsaparilla soda for lunch. The whole place has a comfy neighborhood vibe that is hip without being pretentious, fancy enough to make you feel elegant but not ripped off, and that's something that you can't pull out of a can.

Mass., Conn., RI senators want Obama to craft stronger strategy for Syrian humanitarian crisis
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) � U.S. senators from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers calling on President Barack Obama to develop a stronger strategy for addressing the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
The call is part of the "Syrian Humanitarian Resolution of 2014" that the group of 19 senators introduced on Friday. It condemns the unlawful use of violence against civilians in Syria and urges all parties to allow for immediate access to humanitarian aid.
If adopted, the resolution calls for Obama to submit the new humanitarian strategy to relevant Senate committees within 90 days.
Senators who introduced the resolution include Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Edward Markey of Massachusetts, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Heads up! We're working hard to be accurate – but these are unusual times, so please always check before heading out.
50 things to do in New York City on a Saturday 2012
Make the most of your Saturday with these urban adventures.
RECOMMENDED: The most up-to-date 150 weekend activities in NYC
Stroll through Central Park's Conservatory Garden
The skinfest in the Sheep Meadow isn't the only thing worth eyeballing in Central Park come spring. The Conservatory Garden is a flowering paradise, with some varietals like the Lenten rose blooming as early as mid-March. For an extensive tour, download the Central Park Conservancy's Bloom Guide from its website and rent a bike from Bike & Roll.
Shop and eat outside at the Hester Street Fair
This pretty, tree-lined Lower East Side market packs in shoppers every weekend with a killer combination of stylish vintage wares—retro jewelry, antique decor and old-fashioned hats—and one of the best collections of food vendors in Manhattan. Delicious new stalls include Williamsburg darling Pies 'n' Thighs, artisanal ice cream parlor Ample Hills Creamery and boozy cupcakery Prohibition Bakery. Look out for surprising booths, like Compass Yoga, which will assess your posture and align in you a suitable pose for $1.
Soak up suds and sun at the Frying Pan
This "lightship"—a floating lighthouse once used by the Coast Guard—sank and spent three years underwater before she was salvaged and converted into a floating bar. Now docked near Chelsea Piers, this nautical beer garden attracts formidable weeknight and weekend throngs of would-be revelers. After May 1, you can drink on deck—that is, if you can find room on the beer-soaked boat, jetty or the prime real estate: the jetty roof. If you're fortunate enough to nab a seat, order a burger.
Try capoeira at The Ailey
Step into the roda (circle) at a beginner's capoeira class with Brazilian professor Tiba. With the percussionists and singers accompanying the class, you might actually think you're in Brazil. 4:30-6pm.
Take drawing classes in the park
Sketch the Hudson and its gardens with artist Larry Dobens in these casual walk-up lessons; colored pencils and paper are provided.
Go to Wave Hill House for free
This city-owned garden in the north Bronx retains the same horticultural traditions from when it was a private estate. You'll find some of the area's most meticulously groomed gardens, plus stunning, sweeping views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey Palisades. Wake up early to take advantage of free admission between 9am and noon every Saturday.
Eat and shop at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market
The Hell's Kitchen Flea Market welcomes a mini fleet of mobile eateries back for the Gourmet Food Truck Bazaar. The lineup has yet to be confirmed, but city staples like Calexico, the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck and the Treats Truck have all parked there in the past. We advise arriving early to make a first pass at the secondhand wares and avoid missing out on the limited quantities of grub.
Tour the Plaza Hotel
Take a one-hour guided peek into the luxurious Plaza on this tour led by art and architecture critic-cum-author Francis Morrone. (Call ahead; reservations are required.)
Fill up on free samples at the Union Square Greenmarket
At this outdoor produce mart, you'll find yourself shopping elbow to elbow with top chefs, perusing regionally grown culinary pleasures from more than 140 different producers each week. You'll want to keep coming back until you've sampled them all.
Go bird-watching in Brooklyn
The National Audubon Society classifies Prospect Park as an Important Birding Area for the many species that migrate through. Learn how to spot them by taking a free Intro to Bird-Watching tour from noon-1:30pm. Binoculars are provided.
Snack on taro-and-turnip cakes at Golden Unicorn Restaurant
Crispy on the outside and smooth as butter inside, the taro-and-turnip cakes at this dim sum palace are sweet with thick oyster sauce, and only on the weekends from noon to 3pm.
Dance to Polish music at the Polish National Home
This no-frills ballroom is the locus of Greenpoint's indie-rock scene, but on occasional Saturday nights, the 1914 hall reverts back to its original (and still daytime) identity as the Polish National Home, hosting Polish dance parties with plenty of canned Frankie Yankovic. No matter who's in attendance, $3.50 Jack and Cokes and $5 noshes (pierogi, kielbasa and cheese blintzes) are available.
Roller-skate in Central Park
In the heart of the park under a grove of blossoming cherry trees, you'll find the Central Park Dance Skater Association's skate circle. Bring your own quads and bust a move with people of all ages to disco classics, contemporary hits and throwback R&B, house and dance music spun by a rotating roster of local DJs. If you're not a skater, there's space to dance without colliding with those on wheels or just watch the old hands do their thing. Make sure to scan the crowd as well—you may spot singer-songwriter M. Ward, who told TONY that watching the skaters is one of his favorite things to do in NYC.
Join a social sports team
You've thought about it, now do it: Put down that PS3 controller and join an outdoor league. ZogSports co-ed sports leagues, one of NYC's biggest rec groups, hosts coed softball, soccer and touch-football leagues in the spring. Don't sweat it if you haven't swung a bat since T-ball days: When signing up, participants must assess their own skill level—from "extremely casual" newbies to jocks who've played high-school or college sports—and are then matched to a compatible division. As a bonus, teams are encouraged to retreat to a nearby bar for postgame drinks, and a portion of the bar tab is donated to charity. Visit zogsports.com for more information.
Get out of the city
Dia:Beacon doesn't have a monopoly on arty day trips. In the Hudson River Valley, Storm King Art Center boasts more than 100 post-1945 sculptures—many of them monumental in stature—on 500 acres of land. Stroll at your leisure or rent a bike ($10 per hour, minimum two hours; full day $40). On May 12, the exhibit "Light and Landscape" opens; it features 20 pieces that play with the idea of natural light, ranging from videos and installations in the institution's museum to site-specific works by Peter Coffin, Katie Holten and William Lamson. Coach USA Short Line runs one service a day between Port Authority Bus Terminal (625 Eighth Ave between 40th and 42nd Sts; 212-564-8484, coachusa.com/shortline; departs NYC 10am, departs Storm King 5:02pm; $44) and Storm King on the Mountainville Line.
Take a mock country retreat to Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum
It may take a while to get to, but the Bartow-Pell's beautiful and serene formal garden and lawn, featuring a picturesque fountain and wrought-iron benches, is the perfect place to find solace away from the city. Once you've finished reclining in verdant surroundings, tour the mansion (Wed, Sat, Sun noon–4pm; $5), home to a 19th-century merchant family.
See tons of graffiti at 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center
Just down the street from contemporary-art hub MoMA PS1, outdoor graffiti museum 5Pointz proves that the beauty and grit of New York City isn't always found in conventional places. Nearly every inch of this five-story, 200,000-square-foot factory's exterior has been covered and re-covered in murals by a rotating cast of artists. You can call ahead to arrange a guided tour, or just show up and pull out your camera.
Power through the water on the Hudson
Every weekend starting in May, the New York Outrigger Club offers up to three free training sessions for the six-man Polynesian canoe. The lesson begins on land, where you'll familiarize yourself with the boat and its history, learning stroke work, safety protocols, and calls and commands; then you'll get 30 to 45 minutes of practice on the water with three expert shipmates who'll steer you in the right direction. Sessions are limited to six people each, so e-mail ahead to book your space. The club provides everything you need—boats, paddles and life vests—but it's up to you to bring drinking water, sunscreen and a lock for the provided locker. Grass skirts optional.
Take meditation classes at The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art
In 1947, Jacques Marchais did the city a good turn by opening her Tibetan art collection to the public. Since then, the museum has been housed in two Himalayan-temple-style stone buildings, surrounded by serene gardens. On Saturday mornings, the Venerable Thupten Phuntsok hosts hour-long guided meditation classes.
See a Broadway matinee for cheap
This classic weekend-afternoon activity allows plenty of time to explore the Theater District. Even better: Rush tickets to Broadway and Off Broadway shows are available for as little as $20 apiece. Go to the theater's box office on the day of the performance to check. Discount tickets are available at the TKTS Booth in Duffy Square (47th Street and Broadway). Or try the TKTS South Street Seaport Booth (at the corner of Front and John Streets) or TKTS Downtown Brooklyn (One MetroTech Center, at the corner of Jay Street and Myrtle Aves). More centrally, TDF has added a "Play Only" window at the Times Square booth under the red steps. All booths accept credit cards. For hours and details, visit tdf.org. An excellent Broadway-discount clearing house is nytix.com. There you can find tickets up to 45 percent off, as well as super buy-one-get-one-discounted deals.
Snag free admission to The Jewish Museum
The Jewish Museum, housed in the 1908 Warburg Mansion, contains a fascinating collection of more than 28,000 works of art, artifacts and media installations. The two-floor permanent exhibition, "Culture and Continuity: The Jewish Journey," examines how Judaism has survived and explores various Jewish identities throughout history. There is also a permanent exhibit specifically for children: The Café Weissman serves contemporary kosher fare.
Tour the Brooklyn Brewery
Williamsburg's craft-beer facility offers free, reservation-only general tours on Saturday and Sunday (see website for details). Post tour, join the crowds purchasing tokens for beer (one beer for $5 or six for $20) to taste the standard and seasonal styles on tap.
Try seafood on City Island
The decor at Johnny's, a 45-year-old City Island institution is reminiscent of a school cafeteria—including the long lines. The attraction here is inexpensive seafood and shameless deep-fat-frying: filet of sole, red snapper, whiting, smelts, mini–lobster tails, shrimp, scallops, soft-shell crabs, clams, oysters and squid. Any of it comes freshly breaded and mercilessly fried for about $10. The Clam Bar, meanwhile, offers shucked-before-your-eyes littlenecks and cherrystones for $10 a dozen. On a nice day, grab your grub and drink, head out to the picnic tables and enjoy the view of Long Island Sound.
See free music at BAMcafe Live
Need a cheap date idea? Look no further than free Friday- and Saturday-night concerts at the ultra-bohemian BAMcaf. Performers span a range of genres—jazz, R&B, world beat, pop—and the acoustics are excellent. The one drawback? It's popular, so show up early to snag a seat or you'll have to snuggle by the bar. Find out who's performing at bam.org.
Eat like a New Englander at Red Hook Lobster Pound
Don some tartan and tweed and hop the Ikea ferry to Red Hook for the freshest lobster in Brooklyn and a whiff of the salty sea. From 5 to 9pm on Saturdays, you can tie on a bib, plunk down $25, and a 1.5-pound lobster, farm-fresh corn, and coleslaw or potato salad are yours to inhale.
Visit Lefferts Historic House
One of a small number of farmhouses surviving from Brooklyn's Dutch settlement period, Lefferts Historic House now serves as a museum, documenting Brooklyn family life during the 1820s. Period rooms are furnished to reflect the era, while craft activities and demonstration gardens and fields help visitors understand the changes in the borough's landscape since the 19th century.
Check out Dekalb Market
Calling all foodies and fashionistas: Grab your wallet and skedaddle over to this much-anticipated marketplace, which is a triumvirate of food, retail and eco-minded sustainability projects. The bazaar's 22 vendors are showcasing their goods in brightly painted, repurposed shipping containers that serve as retail outlets and restaurants. Support local businesses and art foundations, like the Pratt Design Incubator, which is shilling Holstee recycled wallets ($25) and Alder printed silk scarves ($144). Chomp on Mazie's Bites crispy fried-fish tacos (two for $10) or Cuzin's Duzin three-piece mini doughnut samplers ($1), then slip into Honeysuckle and Hearts vintage gems, including a 1970s lace maxidress ($98) and a pink long-sleeved romper ($45). Dekalb Market's extensive one-acre property is also home to Dekalb Farm, and while the locally grown fruits and veggies from the Brooklyn Grange and Newton Farm Cooperative are sadly not for sale, you can learn how to cultivate your own produce at 3rd Ward's free monthly workshop on urban agriculture.
Piggybacking on the runaway success of the Brooklyn Flea (still held in Fort Greene on Saturdays and in Williamsburg on Sundays), founders Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler unveiled this food-only Saturday market—a glutton's paradise packed with more than 100 vendors. Along with Greenmarket stalls and flea stalwarts like Porchetta, the gastro-bazaar features a flurry of side projects from restaurant-world vets. King's Crumb, brought to you by a trio with ties to Momofuku Noodle Bar and Prime Meats, doles out lard-and-buttermilk biscuits cloaked in homemade clotted cream and seasonal jams, plus sweet tea dashed with Angostura bitters. And Pies 'n' Thighs baker Cecile Dyer channels the county fair with Nana's frozen bananas, which are coated in a thick chocolate armor and sprinkled with sea salt and other fancy toppings. But don't overlook the vendors without boldfaced-name connections: Upstarts like Mimi and Coco NY—serving Japanese teriyaki balls—and City 'Lasses—with its fortifying Switzels (old-timey West Indian drinks made with blackstrap molasses, ginger, lemon and honey)—more than hold their own.
Take a trapeze workshop
Bored of the treadmill? Get a full-body workout and adrenaline rush at Brooklyn's first indoor trapeze school, where students learn how to perform high-flying maneuvers. Several classes are offered, including the open-level adult fly class.
Pay what you wish at the Guggenheim
From 5:45-7:45pm, the Gug's regular admission price is reduced from $18 to whatever the hell you want. The museum is as famous for its landmark building—designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and restored for its 50th birthday in 2009—as for its impressive collection and daring temporary shows. In addition to works by Manet, Picasso, Chagall and Bourgeois, it holds the largest collection of Kandinskys in the U.S.
Wake up early for fresh crossiants at Almondine Bakery
Before becoming a weeklong gold mine, Jacques Torres attracted a cult of pastry lovers who woke up at the crack of dawn for his goodies, once sold only on Saturday mornings at his Water Street chocolate shop. These days, the sweet stuff is easier to snag at his full bakery across the street, but there's still an allure to the first batch of the day. In addition to Gallic goodies like croissants, brioches and tarts, Almondine serves American-inspired sweets like cheesecake, strawberry shortcake and chocolate blackout cake with peanut butter.
Have a great breakfast taco at Whirlybird
An indie musician and an Ecuadoran chef are the unlikely masterminds behind this Austin-inspired Williamsburg café, which sells only coffee and two varieties of breakfast tacos. We preferred the #1: a mound of fluffy scrambled eggs laced with Oaxacan cheese and (for a buck more) piquant nibs of chorizo. They come wrapped in a crisp and tender griddled corn tortilla, then topped with a tangy, slow-simmered tomato-and-bell-pepper salsa. A topping of crumbled jalapeño-flavored potato chips provide texture and a gentle burn. For more great egg breakfasts, click here.
Learn pétanque in Bryant Park
You may think it's a haughty version of bocce, but you'd be wrong. Get the inside track on the game with a free lesson from a member of the La Boule New Yorkaise club (labouleny.com) at the Bryant Park courts. Just stroll up and find the instructor in the club's T-shirt, and he or she will school you on the basic rules in around 15 minutes. You're free to stay and play with the clubs's equipment as long as you like (although it does get busy during lunch) and receive further insights on strategy and tactics.
Commune with nature in Battery Park
Avoid the crowds in Central and Prospect Parks by taking a stroll through Manhattan's verdant southernmost tip. The green space is home to two gardens: The seven-year-old Bosque, which covers three acres and features 140 London plane trees; and the Gardens of Remembrance, where you can see more than 100 different types of perennials. Stop for a bite at one of the food kiosks dotted throughout the park: An outpost of Zak Pelaccio's Asian-inflected BBQ joint Fatty 'Cue opened there in 2011, along with Fatty Snack, which offers treats like shaved ice ($3), cookies ($3) and milkshakes ($5).
Take a ride at Coney Island
Last year, the Scream Zone annex expanded Luna Park with two modern roller coasters, the Soaring Eagle and the Steeplechase, as well as the Sling Shot, which hurls two people 150 feet high into the air, and a spinning disc called the Zenobio. But for our money, the rickety Cyclone remains the scariest, especially because it celebrates its 85th birthday this summer.
Relax on The High Line
Opened in 2009, this highly anticipated outdoor park sits on the elevated infrastructure built on Manhattan's West Side in the 1930s. Today, sumptuous gardens and outdoor sculpture adorn this magnificent walkway, which is also an excellent place to enjoy a view of the Hudson River. Check out our complete guide to events on the elevated park, plus things to do nearby.

Egyptian protesters defied an overnight curfew in restive towns along the Suez Canal, attacking police stations after Islamist President Mohamed Mursi imposed emergency rule to end days of clashes that have left at least 52 people dead.
At least two men died in overnight fighting in the canal city of Port Said, the latest unrest in a wave of violence unleashed last week on the eve of the anniversary of the 2011 revolt that brought down autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Political opponents spurned a call by Mursi for talks on Monday to try to end the violence. Instead, huge crowds of protesters took to the streets in Cairo and Alexandria, and in the three Suez Canal cities - Port Said, Ismailia and Suez - where Mursi imposed emergency rule and a curfew on Sunday.
"Down, down with Mohamed Mursi! Down, down with the state of emergency!" crowds shouted in Ismailia. In Cairo, flames lit up the night sky as protesters set vehicles ablaze.
The demonstrators accuse Mubarak's successor Mursi of betraying the two-year-old revolution. Mursi and his supporters accuse the protesters of seeking to overthrow Egypt's first ever democratically elected leader by undemocratic means.
Debris from days of unrest was strewn on the streets around Cairo's Tahrir Square, cauldron of the anti-Mubarak uprising.
Youths clambered over a burned-out police van. But unlike on previous mornings in the past few days, there was no early sign of renewed clashes with police.
In Port Said, men attacked police stations after dark. A security source said some police and troops were injured. A medical source said two men were killed and 12 injured in the clashes, including 10 with gunshot wounds.
"The people want to bring down the regime," crowds chanted in Alexandria. "Leave means go, and don't say no!"
Since Mubarak was toppled, Islamists have won two referendums, two parliamentary elections and a presidential vote.
But that legitimacy has been challenged by an opposition that accuses Mursi of imposing a new form of authoritarianism, and punctuated by repeated waves of unrest that have prevented a return to stability in the most populous Arab state.
The army has already been deployed in Port Said and Suez and the government agreed a measure to let soldiers arrest civilians as part of the state of emergency.
The instability has provoked unease in Western capitals, where officials worry about the direction of a powerful regional player that has a peace deal with Israel. The United States condemned the bloodshed and called on Egyptian leaders to make clear violence is not acceptable..
In Cairo on Monday, police fired volleys of teargas at stone-throwing protesters near Tahrir. Demonstrators burned two police vehicles and stormed into the downtown Semiramis Intercontinental hotel.
The political unrest in the Suez Canal cities has been exacerbated by street violence linked to death penalties imposed on soccer supporters convicted of involvement in stadium rioting in Port Said a year ago.
Mursi's invitation to opponents to hold a national dialogue with the Islamists on Monday was spurned by the main opposition National Salvation Front coalition, which rejected it as "cosmetic".
The only liberal politician who attended, Ayman Nour, told Egypt's al-Hayat channel after the meeting ended late on Monday that attendees agreed to meet again in a week.
He said Mursi had promised to look at changes to the constitution requested by the opposition but did not consider the opposition's request for a government of national unity.
The president announced the emergency measures on television on Sunday. "The protection of the nation is the responsibility of everyone. We will confront any threat to its security with force and firmness within the remit of the law," Mursi said.
His demeanour infuriated his opponents, not least when he wagged a finger at the camera.
Some activists said Mursi's measures to try to impose control on the turbulent streets could backfire.
"Martial law, state of emergency and army arrests of civilians are not a solution to the crisis," said Ahmed Maher of the April 6 movement that helped galvanise the 2011 uprising. "All this will do is further provoke the youth. The solution has to be a political one that addresses the roots of the problem."

Liquiphant FailSafe Technology
Point level switch for the maximum degree of safety
The point level switches for liquids of the Liquiphant family have convinced customers for three decades by now. The new Liquiphant FailSafe of Endress+Hauser sets standards in terms of safety and high availability. The point level switch is used in pump dry-run protection and overfill prevention, predominantly in the chemical, oil & gas as well as energy industry.
Endress+Hauser is able to cover all requirements of modern process industry with the new Liquiphant FailSafe and introduces an instrument for the highest degree of product and plant safety. Foam and turbulence do not influence the measurement.
As a matter of course, the general advantages of the vibration measuring principle are also applicable: E.g. measurements unaffected by the physical properties of the medium like conductivity, dielectric constant or also density changes.
Foam and turbulence do not influence the measurement. A calibration for the respective medium is also superfluous
For high degree of safety: Safety Integrity Level up to SIL3 according to IEC 61508/IEC 61511 with only one instrument (internal redundancy)
Safe function due to permanent
self-monitoring SFF (Safe Failure Fraction) > 99%
Proof test interval may be extended to up to 12 years, independent of sensor covered (pump protection) or uncovered (overfill prevention)
Significantly simplified proof test according to WHG guidelines (Water Resource Law) or IEC 61508/IEC 61511 functional safety requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products safe?
Yes. All our hemp crops are grown free of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, so our quality starts with our hemp plants. From the time our hemp oil is harvested to the manufacturing and shipping of our products, we test our hemp oil multiple times to ensure accuracy in potency information and to check for contaminants like pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and mold, as well as cannabinoid content. We also use a subcritical CO2 method when we extract our hemp oil, instead of harsh solvents. CO2 is a much healthier choice than other potential solvents and is "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS) by the FDA.
What is Hemp-Derived CBD?
Cannabliss products are made from industrial hemp plants grown on Kentucky farms. Cannabidiol (CBD), a constituent that naturally occurs in industrial Hemp, is just one of over 85 cannabinoids that is identified in the cannabis plant. Our oil is CO2 extracted resulting in a solvent free, pure extract.
Is this legal?
Under the 2014 Farm Bill, CBD derived from Hemp Seed Oil that has less than 0.3% THC by dry weight is federally legal. Our products comply within these guidelines. Click here for a copy of the 2014 Farm Bill.
What kind of testing/analysis is performed on your items?
All of our products are manufactured in an FDA registered, FDA food registered, FDA approved, CGMP certified, and cruelty free facility. We undergo extensive stability testing and can provide a Certificate of Analysis and Chromatography Test.
What's the difference between CBD oil and the hemp products I buy at the grocery store?
Hemp products sold in stores are most often made with hemp seed oil, which can contain only trace amounts of CBD. While it has been noted that hemp seed oil can be a great source of nutrition, its marginal quantity of CBD per weight makes it unfeasible as a CBD supplement. Our Full Spectrum Hemp Oil, however, is extracted from the stalk of specifically selected hemp cultivars, offering higher percentages of CBD by weight and additional nutritional benefits from the contents of our oil.

If the "debate" staged by the corporate media over the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" demonstrates anything, it is once again how gullible and easily influenced the American people are, at least according to polls.
On August 19, Time Magazine released a poll showing 61% of respondents oppose the construction of the mosque, compared with 26% who support it. "More than 70% concur with the premise that proceeding with the plan would be an insult to the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center," writes Time.
An insult to the victims, even though there is no definitive evidence Muslims are responsible for that catastrophic event.
Time Magazine, of course, is a mantlepiece of the CIA's Mockingbird corporate media, so any poll it generates should be highly suspect. In fact, we have absolutely no gauge as to what the American people think about the mosque. Considering the non-stop anti-Muslim propaganda propagated by the corporate media, it is entirely possible most Americans believe the mosque is an insult to the victims.
As expected, establishment politicos have lined up in opposition to the mosque. Naturally, the neocon Newt Gingrich compared it to Nazis trying to put up a sign near Washington's holocaust museum and Sarah Palin, the darling of the establishment refashioned Tea Party movement, said it is an unnecessary provocation that "stabs hearts."
Palin tells us she supports the Constitution, but obviously she has a dim understanding of the founding document. As Rick Lynch notes, in a political context, virtually nothing was as important to the Framers as property rights. For the founders, the rights of property were inviolable and they considered the Constitution itself as the embodiment of property rights. Concerns of freedom cannot be separated from concerns for property.

Palin should know that property rights were so important to the Framers that all but 4 of the 55 men at the Constitutional Convention placed the protection of property behind only liberty itself. As Lynch notes, of the four who disagreed on this point, three differed not because they valued property rights less than their fellows but because they actually "put [their] protection ahead of liberty as the main object of society," as Forrest McDonald explains.
But nowadays, even the Supreme Court has a vague understanding of property rights and the Constitution. In 2005, during the "conservative" (actually neocon) Bush era, the Supreme Court ruled under the Kelo decision that local governments may force property owners to sell out and make way for private economic development. The founders would have been appalled by the very concept of "eminent domain," the idea that government can deny the right of the individual to hold property.
Sharif El-Gamal, a real estate developer, owns the buildings that will be transformed into a 15-story mosque on Manhattan. In order that the feelings of the 9/11 victims families will not be hurt — and also buttress the cornerstone premise of the manufactured global war on terror — El-Gamal's property rights may be violated.

It is not merely Newt and Sarah who are behind this selective application of property rights. New York governor David Paterson and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid oppose the mosque, as does Howard Dean, who has labeled it "a real affront to people who lost their lives."
The real affront is to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If government can tell Muslims they have no right to property, they can tell all of us.
Is it possible nearly two-thirds of Americans are opposed to the very idea of property rights? If we are to believe the corporate media, they are.
From the Patriot Act to naked body scanners in airports around the nation, we have already lost far too many of our precious freedoms. It stands to reason we will lose our property as well.
