Second-time buyers face worst "bottleneck" conditions for 25 years
Home affordability is worse than for first-time buyers claims new report
Homeowners planning to take their second step on the property ladder are facing the worst market conditions for a quarter of a century, according to the latest figures from Lloyds TSB.
Their research shows that:
* Home affordability for second steppers is worse than for first-time buyers
* Second steppers' equity position accounts for just 5 per cent of the price of a typical second stepper home compared with 44% in 2005
* Homemovers account for the smallest share of homebuyers since 2001
* The average homemover deposit in 2012 was £61,536, a rise of 70 per cent from the average of £36,280 in 2002
Housing affordability for 'second steppers' is almost five times gross annual average earnings, the second highest ratio since records began 25 years ago. This affordability measure has risen over the past decade from 3.2 in 2002.
Home affordability for second steppers is also less favourable than for first-time buyers, 4.7 times gross annual average earnings compared with 4.1.
Suren Thiru, housing economist at Lloyds TSB, said: "It is very concerning that the challenges facing those attempting to take their second step on the housing ladder are the toughest for more than a generation. This follows the significant decline in house prices over recent years and the subsequent erosion of equity among those who bought for the first time at close to the peak of the market.
"The current problems facing second steppers have serious implications for the wider housing market, creating a bottleneck that significantly limits the number of homes available to first-time buyers as well as stopping many homeowners who need to move, possibly for family reasons, from doing so."

Since the Edward Snowden surveillance document dump began in June, every few weeks seems to bring some horrifying new detail about the scope of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
Privacy and constitutional scholars -- not to mention most Americans -- have been appalled by the breadth of the NSA data collections and surveillance. I've been particularly stunned, based on the potential diplomatic consequences, by the NSA's efforts to snoop on foreign leaders. (Here and here and here and here.) Which brings us to today's news.
No, not this "Google Cloud Exploitation" doodle (complete with a smiley face). I'm talking about the report from Panorama magazine, referenced here by the Los Angeles Times:
Without citing sources, Panorama magazine said the NSA intercepted calls in and out of the Rome residence where cardinals stayed before the papal conclave. Among them was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who was on the verge of being elected pope.
"There is the suspicion that the conversations of the future pope could have been monitored," the magazine said.
Responding to the report, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said, "We are not aware of anything on this issue and in any case we have no concerns about it."
It's significant that this story does not come from the leaked Snowden documents. There is no corroboration. And, of course, an NSA spokeswoman vigorously denied the claim.
But NSA officials -- starting at the top -- have shown a really propensity for being loose with the truth. Even under oath before Congress. More importantly, does it really matter at this point what the NSA did and didn't do? Many if not most people seem ready to believe the worst -- and I don't think anyone is giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Except maybe Pope Francis the Liberal.

From the She-Must-Have-Seen-This-Coming Department
When a Tennessee state judge said in August that a little boy named Messiah had to change his name because Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," she must have thought her colleagues wouldn't look kindly on the decision.
After all, a very basic precept of First Amendment jurisprudence is that the government can't endorse religion (whether any specific religion or the general idea of religion), and the rationale for Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew's decision seemed to do just that. Worse, it was using the religious belief, possibly that of the judge's, to determine whether a behavior was appropriate.
Seemed like a slam-dunk no-no, and last month a judge ruled that Messiah DeShawn McCullough could keep his name; Ballew's decision had been unconstitutional.
Now bad is getting worse for Ballew. A panel reviewing her decision cited her for inappropriate religious bias in violation of the Tennessee judicial code of conduct. Reuters reports that the state's disciplinary counsel has been directed to pursue sanctions against Ballew, who has 30 days to respond to the charges.

Mark Driscoll, the pastor of Mars Hill Church, has long been a polarizing figure among Christians. In fact, when you type [Mark Driscoll] into Google, the first autofill suggestion is [Mark Driscoll controversy]. That's because he's stirred up so many. Needlessly.
Which is why Jonathan Merritt found the message of Driscoll's latest book so surprising. A press release claims that in A Call to Resurgence: Will Christianity Have a Funeral or a Future Driscoll "issues a prophetic warning to the church that 'dark days are ahead' if we don't stop the in-fighting and refocus our efforts on preaching the gospel immediately.
Merritt then proceeds to recount some of Driscoll more memorable moments of Christian in-fighting.
Just this month Driscoll showed up at a conference run by John McArthur to stir up trouble, then lied about how security treated him. Last January, upon President Obama's second inauguration, Driscoll tweeted:
Praying for our president, who today will place his hand on a Bible he does not believe to take an oath to a God he likely does not know.
Before that there was Driscoll's query to his Facebook followers:
So, what story do you have about the most effeminate anatomically male worship leader you've ever personally witnessed?
And then here's a litany of insensitive and offensive comments about Catholics, Jews and Muslims.
All of which leads Merritt to this point:
I hope that Driscoll is having a change of heart, that he is reconsidering his past behavior and changing course. But the book's jabs and the way he's chosen to promote it seems to align more with the pattern of behavior he's displayed for years.
So I agree with Driscoll's book on its core message—Christians should learn to pick their battles better—but with such a long pattern of divisive rhetoric, name-calling, searing sarcasm, and downright offensive insults, I'm not convinced he's the right messenger to carry it forward. If Mark Driscoll wants Christians to stop infighting, maybe he should start with himself.
(That seems particularly the case when just this week--that's right, after Driscoll began promoting his new intra-church peacemaking book--Driscoll attacked Christian pacifists with this message: "Jesus is not a pansy or a pacifist; he's patient. He has a long wick, but the anger of his wrath is burning. Once the wick is burned up, he is saddling up on a white horse and coming to slaughter his enemies and usher in his kingdom. Blood will flow.")
Well worth reading Merritt's whole piece here.

Everyone following the House vote to end the government shutdown Wednesday heard about the, um, slight distraction--aka, "House stenographer loses it during shutdown vote."
"He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. Don't touch me. He will not be mocked," the stenographer shouted as she was taken away by U.S. Capitol Police. "The greatest deception here is not 'one nation under God.' It never was. Had it been, it would not have been."
She continued, "The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God."
She went on, "You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ."
Well, now we have an explanation about what motivated Dianne Reidy: God told her to do it.
Here's what Reidy said in an email to Fox News' Chad Pergram:
For the past 2 and 1/2 weeks, the Holy Spirit has been waking me up in the middle of the night and preparing me (through my reluctance and doubt) to deliver a message in the House Chamber. That is what I did...
More from the Daily Beast on Reidy's trouble sleeping during the shutdown, on the family's Christian beliefs and on her husband's surprise at her outburst.
Reidy's voice is inaudible in the above video; so I'm going on reports of what she said. What I find so odd about the whole situation is the message. It's totally incoherent.
But beyond her saying that you can't serve God and something else, and that God must be praised, what meaning are we to ascribe to her message? And what might it have communicated to Congress?

As the government shutdown enters its second week, Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black has been speaking truth in his opening prayers. Two recent requests, directed at the 100 men and women who fill the Senate chambers, via the New York Times:
"We acknowledge our transgressions, our shortcomings, our smugness, our selfishness and our pride," he went on, his baritone voice filling the room. "Deliver us from the hypocrisy of attempting to sound reasonable while being unreasonable."
"Remove from them that stubborn pride which imagines itself to be above and beyond criticism," he said. "Forgive them the blunders they have committed."

Maybe it's because my twitter feed is filled with religion writers, law geeks and policy wonks, but it's seems like everyone this morning is talking about Justice Antonin Scalia's interview with Jennifer Senior of New York magazine. Responses have been varied and have focused on different aspects of the long and wideranging interview (from TV shows he enjoys to his judicial legacy).
Senior's intro labels Scalia "either a demigod on stilts or a menace to democracy, depending on which side of the aisle they sit." That seems like serious hyperbole, but Scalia definitely is iconic and polarizing. Indeed, even sitting down for this Q&A was quite unusual for a sitting Supreme Court justice.
His dissenting opinions have become increasingly critical of the majority in recent terms and, as Senior notes, he was probably the first justice to ever use the phrase "argle-bargle" in dissent. To be sure, though, Scalia's opinions never lack for penetrating prose. He may even be mainstreaming argle-bargle, which had never appeared in a published opinion from a federal judge (let alone justice) but has appeared in two since Scalia's used the phrase. (U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Com'n v. Reisinger (N.D. Ill. July 18, 2013); Foshan Nanhai Jiujiang Quan Li Spring Hardware Factory v. United States (U.S. Ct. Int'l Trade July 1, 2013)).
Here's an exemplary part of their conversation:
What about sex discrimination? Do you think the Fourteenth Amendment covers it?
Of course it covers it! No, you can't treat women differently, give them higher criminal sentences. Of course not.A couple of years ago, I think you told California Lawyer something different.
What I was referring to is: The issue is not whether it prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. Of course it does. The issue is, "What is discrimination?"If there's a reasonable basis for not letting women do something—like going into combat or whatnot ...
Let's put it this way: Do you think the same level of scrutiny that applies to race should apply to sex?
I am not a fan of different levels of scrutiny. Strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, blah blah blah blah. That's just a thumb on the scales.But there are some intelligent reasons to treat women differently. I don't think anybody would deny that. And there really is no, virtually no, intelligent reason to treat people differently on the basis of their skin.
There is a lot of great stuff in that back and forth alone. But what I want to focus on is a theme that runs across Senior's conversation with Scalia. It's something I spent two years writing about when I contributed to GetReligion: The media has a very poor understanding of religion.
An example for the Scalia interview:
You believe in heaven and hell?
Oh, of course I do. Don't you believe in heaven and hell?No.
Oh, my.Does that mean I'm not going?
[Laughing.] Unfortunately not!Wait, to heaven or hell?
It doesn't mean you're not going to hell, just because you don't believe in it. That's Catholic doctrine! Everyone is going one place or the other.But you don't have to be a Catholic to get into heaven? Or believe in it?
Of course not!Oh. So you don't know where I'm going. Thank God.
I don't know where you're going. I don't even know whether Judas Iscariot is in hell. I mean, that's what the pope meant when he said, "Who am I to judge?" He may have recanted and had severe penance just before he died. Who knows?Can we talk about your drafting process—
[Leans in, stage-whispers.] I even believe in the Devil.You do?
Of course! Yeah, he's a real person. Hey, c'mon, that's standard Catholic doctrine! Every Catholic believes that.
Now, no reporter can be an expert on every religion. I wouldn't even expect an ace writer on the religion beat (to the extent it still exists, which is sort of myth) to know the name of every religion. But if you're going to interview one of the better-known American Catholics, and especially if you plan on asking questions about how his religious beliefs inform his jurisprudence, you should bone up on the basics.
And that's all this is. The basics. There is no tricky question of dogma in Scalia's statements on heaven and hell and the devil. We could break the misconceptions here down line by line, but I don't want to insult you, good reader.
Even Scalia's statements on Pope Francis ("He's the Vicar of Christ. I don't run down the pope.") and the pontiff's statements that the Catholic Church should focus less on homosexuality and abortion and more on evangelism is solid Catholic doctrine. What made it surprising, and what evinced the liberal leanings of this pope, was that Pope Francis said it at all. The only real unusual thing about the pope's statement was that he questioned "Who am I to judge?"--the same thing Scalia said to Senior about who's getting into heaven and hell.
Don't get me wrong. This is a fascinating interview with tons of valuable nuggets on Scalia's entertainment interests, on his judicial philosophy, on his relationship with his clerks, on his style on the bench, on his suspicion that he has some gay friends. But the nexus between religion and jurisprudence comes up terribly thing--breezy, even--because the conversation gets bogged down on the basics of Catholicism.

Never have I felt iller and angrier than reading the grand jury indictment against Kermit Gosnell. (Seriously, some of the most haunting images you can imagine.) Frighteningly, Gosnell isn't showing any sign of remorse after being convicted of three counts of murder and one of involuntary manslaughter for killing women and babies born alive at his late-term abortion house of horrors.
Here he is giving his first jailhouse interview, with Philadelphia magazine's Steve Volk, since his May conviction. He told the magazine that he has been reading his Bible and that he's "spiritually innocent." The charges? Nothing but a cooked up investigation by Catholics at the DA's office.
Gosnell said he considers his conviction to have been motivated by religion and politics. "I have come to believe that the presumption of guilt was compounded by religious convictions," Gosnell said. " … Were you aware that Seth [Williams, Philadelphia's district attorney] was an altar boy? Did you know of the strong Catholic presence in the homicide division?"
And then there is the abortion-themed poetry he's writing, which highlights the injustice of sentencing to life a prison a deranged doctor who had patients deliver viable fetuses into the toilet--sometimes crying babies--and then would "abort" the child by severing the spine with scissors.
If that is spiritual innocence, what could possibly be condemned?
So the Philadelphia DA has a strong Catholic presence. I suspect that, with Catholics being the dominant denomination of the dominant U.S. religion that's true of a lot of district attorney office. More importantly, I can't think of a religion that permits what Gosnell did.

First the Navy Yard rampage that left 12 dead. Then yesterday Islamist terrorists indiscriminately murdered at least 59 at an upscale mall in Nairobi (with about 30 hostages still inside). Now this in Peshawar, Pakistan:
A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a 130-year-old church in Pakistan after Sunday Mass, killing at least 56 people in the deadliest attack on Christians in the predominantly Muslim South Asian country. . . .
The attackers struck the historic white-stone All Saints Church in the north-western city of Peshawar just as hundreds of parishioners streamed out of the building.
"I heard two explosions. People started to run. Human remains were strewn all over the church," said one parishioner, who only gave her first name, Margrette. . . .
The Taliban-linked militant group TTP Jundullah claimed responsibility for the attack.
"They are the enemies of Islam, therefore we target them," said the group's spokesman, Ahmed Marwat. "We will continue our attacks on non-Muslims on Pakistani land."
In Pakistan, these "enemies of Islam" make up only 4 percent of the population. But this continues a trend of Christian minorities being persecuted and pushed out of Muslim countries, many (though not Pakistan) being part of Christianity's birth region.

Daily Horoscope for December 21
Although you've probably already mentally started the Christmas holidays, the coming four weeks will be a fantastic time to push ahead with your career and long-term plans. So start thinking carefully about what you want to achieve in 2014 and, if possible, work out a schedule. You should also begin to write down your New Year resolutions and promise yourself that you'll stick to them. This is also a good time to woo the public, as your efforts will be seen in a positive light. A flirtation with someone older or in a position of authority is not out of the question now, as Venus turns retrograde. it may seem as if you are taking two steps forward and one step back, but by the time Venus turns direct on January 30th, you should be sitting comfortably!
If you're a typical Taurean you value both your emotional and physical security, and often tend to restrict your actions accordingly. But during the coming month you'll want to spread your wings more widely than usual, whether through mental or physical pursuits. It will do you good to be more adventurous for a change, and to embrace life in all its aspects. Differences of opinion and cultural clashes may arise as Venus turns retrograde, but you'll smooth over any tense moments. If you've been having trouble with in-laws and other relatives at a distance, you should be able to call a truce. You feel much less like expressing your opinions, but by the time Venus turns direct on January 30th, you'll be ready to come out confidently speaking your heart and mind.
Close relationships sometimes cause problems for you because the level of intimacy involved makes you feel uncomfortable. Yet this is precisely what you should concentrate on during the next four weeks, so do your best to let down your guard with partners and to reveal your true self, warts and all. Allow them to do the same in return. Honesty is imperative for true intimacy, so be authentic in your affections as Venus turns retrograde. Some of you may receive inheritances or other form of financial windfall, but there are likely to be strings attached. Everything seems to come at a price now. Venus turns direct on January 30th, so you will have had the chance to decide what you are willing to compromise on and what values you cannot part with.
The next four weeks are going to be really interesting and enjoyable, because the accent will be on your relationships. You might have a wonderful encounter with someone special, and there's even a chance that you could embark on a new partnership. This is certainly a time for teamwork rather than going it alone, even if it's only a temporary measure. Treating each other with tenderness and patience goes a long way in improving relationships, as Venus turns retrograde in your seventh house. By the time Venus turns direct on January 30th, you will have had a chance to decide which relationships are worth keeping and which are no longer viable.
Although the emphasis on laughter and leisure will continue during the rest of the month, from today you'll also have to pay attention to your working life. You might have to put in some extra hours in order to meet a deadline or you could soon be given new responsibilities. If you're fed up with your current job, start considering your options. Venus turns retro today, so if you are romantically involved with a coworker, don't take the relationship lightly. Issues should resolve by Jan 30.
Love, laughter and entertainment are high on your agenda during the next four weeks, so try to get as much of them as possible. This will also be a fantastic chance to be your true self, without worrying that other people won't like you as a consequence. One major element of this will be to express some of your creative talents, so don't be modest about them. Venus turns retrograde today. It's impossible to know joy without having experienced sorrow, as they are opposite sides of the same coin. A romantic interest from the past may reappear. Issues with children and romantic entanglements should be resolved by Jan 30.
You've been quite a gadabout in recent weeks, but you start to yearn for the comforts of home from today. You might even be tempted to cancel some forthcoming social events so you can flop on your sofa instead and catch your breath. Sentimental thoughts could also steal over you in the next few weeks, making you think about some of the people you used to know and love. Venus turns retro in Capricorn too, so you will be diving deeper into your family relationships, which may be painful at times but can also bring a profound sense of peace and healing. Consider your relationships to your parents, the family you came from, and the family you've created.
From today you'll enjoy being involved in local events and neighborhood activities. These will help you to keep in touch with what's going on around you and also offer you the chance to meet some new faces. This is an especially good idea if you've recently moved to a new area and you don't yet know many people. Well, carry on like this and you soon will! With Venus turning retro you will be examining your relationships to your community as well as how you process information. Consider your relationships to your siblings and neighbors, and also to better understand how and why you form the opinions that you do.
Enjoyment is your number one priority today, especially if that means getting together with some of your favourite people. You'll have a glorious time! Maybe you could meet up with someone special for a pre-Christmas celebration, or perhaps you're getting ready for a big party and already have high hopes about how it will turn out. As Venus turns, you will be evaluating not only what you have, but seriously considering what it is that you value. Consider how you earn a living and whether or not your efforts are in line with what you love and believe in.
Your self-confidence rises by several notches from today, making you feel much more positive and resilient than you've been recently. This happy state of affairs will continue for the next four weeks, and it will be a marvellous opportunity for you to get new projects off the ground and take the initiative whenever possible. You should also start to write down your New Year resolutions. As Venus turns tail in your sign, you may be questioning who you are and who you want to be. You may also be experiencing a power play or growing pains in your most significant relationships that will require much soul searching on your part. Consider how you present yourself and what role you play in your closest relationships.
Although you're still feeling highly sociable and outgoing, from today you'll start to crave a little time to yourself every now and then. You'll want to temper your busy social life with some precious moments of solitude, and if this can't happen you'll feel you're missing out on something important and life-enhancing. It will certainly allow you to recharge your batteries. As Venus turns, it is time to finish up old business before you can move on to a new cycle. Reflect on both your accomplishments and failures of the past, and what you would like to change in the coming weeks.
Friendships are in the spotlight from today and they'll continue to light up your life for the next four weeks. This will be a marvellous opportunity to get together with chums that you haven't seen lately, so how about arranging a big party if you haven't got anything planned? This will also be your cue to focus on your hopes and wishes for the future. Venus turns retrograde too, giving you months to consider which friends are good for your soul's evolution and which ones are likely to lead you right back down to the bottom of the ocean.

Customer Reviews for Yellow / Cream New Additions Window Shades
"Best Triple Cell Blinds EVER"
By Barbie from Rowlett
First, I would like to commend BlindsGalore for making such a beautiful and well-insulating product. Triple Cell blinds are not common, and yours are so beautiful, easy to install, and keep my room cozy in the winter. Second, your staff is phenomenal. The rep. helped me each step along the way, from making the selection to measuring, to handling the order for me. Third, this is the BEST company to deal with. Period. They could not have made the experience more care-free and simple. Thank you so very much!
View this product"Great product"
By Lake girl from Indian lake pa
We bought these blinds for the sliding glass door in our living room. We live in west pa where the winters can be quite cold. The blinds provide a very elegant look to the living area while providing insulation from the cold and protects our flooring and furniture from the afternoon sun. I have two other rooms with sliding glass doors and will be replacing the vertical blinds that came with the house with these elegant looking blinds.

I have this odd vision for the future of the NBA, and in it everyone looks like Kirk Hinrich.

Zumiez: "Does your approach to riding change when you're shooting videos or photos?"
John Jackson: "You ride the same man. You ride it. You ride it. Whenever you ride, you ride hard, like if I'm by myself... usually I ride the best when I'm by myself. Nobody watching. Just me. You're always putting your all into riding. I guess that's what that shows.."
Zumiez: "What is your favorite place to ride?"
John Jackson: "Man. I'd probably say my favorite place to ride is Alaska. Alaska, on a sunny day. Good pow. Everythings a little different up there. You'll be looking like "yeah I think I can get in there" and then get up there and go "Holy shit! This is gnarly.""
Zumiez: "Who has the best vision of what snowboarding is about?"
John Jackson: "You'd probably think I'd say something typical like, the best snowboarder out there like Trav (Travis Rice) or something. I think the people who know exactly what snowboarding is about are the people who are trying to do a front 3 and fall on their face, or something you know? like the beginners. Just going out there and having a good time. Doing all kinds of different sports that you suck at, its a lot of fun. Like, the learning curve is really fun. Thats what its about. Pushing that sport, pushing your limits. Its not, when you're the best at something its cool but, its fun when you're trying to get there."
Zumiez: "Who goes bigger and gnarlier than you?"
John Jackson: "People ask you "whats the biggest you've gone"" and they look up to you but you can go "man, you've gone bigger than I have. Like you trying to hit that bottom jump and do that front 3, for where you're at, that was gnarly." What I may do may look super gnarly to you but to me I've done it a lot before and I've worked up to that level. To be able to do it. But its the same gnarliness factor if you're like pushing your limits in the same way at a trick that may look a lot easier but in your heart... its gnarly."

The stalemate in Washington is not because President Barack Obama has held himself above meeting with Republicans, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday.
In an exclusive interview on CNN's "State of the Union," the chamber's top Democrat said Obama respects congressional Republicans and called "just really not reality" the idea that Obama could have prevented gridlock by meeting with the GOP sooner.
"It is not why we haven't had progress before. We haven't had progress before because the Republicans were committed to blocking the initiatives of President Barack Obama," she said.
Pelosi spoke shortly after Obama took a dozen Senate Republicans out for dinner, sat down with the 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate and has plans to meet with senators and representatives from both parties on Capitol Hill next week. Washington has just over two weeks to pass a measure averting a government shutdown, which neither party wants.
House Republicans passed such a continuing resolution on Wednesday and the bill was also supported by more than 50 Democrats. It gives the Obama administration leeway on implementing the forced federal spending cuts to the defense budget, though many Democrats would also like to see leeway on the cuts to domestic spending programs.
"When we weigh the equities of the value of the bill the Senate has, it's almost impossible for it not to be a better bill than what is written by the House Republicans," Pelosi said. "But they will have to send a bipartisan bill in order to get the 60 votes. And I'm sure it will be stronger."
There is some talk off of Capitol Hill that the two branches will be able to reach a grand bargain or large government spending and deficit reduction compromise. Pelosi said she hopes Obama's meetings will open the door for such agreement as well as compromise on legislative items.
"I certainly hope it will," she said. I hope that it will create confidence so we can go forward with immigration reform, issues that relate to ending gun violence to name two that are imminent."
And if such a deal could include entitlement reform based on the principle that Democrats "don't want to hurt beneficiaries."
"We certainly want to strengthen Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. We want to make them more fiscally sound," she said.
But, she said, not through one avenue Republicans propose: an increase in the eligibility age for those programs.
"If the point of it is to take trophies, let's raise the age," Pelosi said. "That doesn't save money. It's a trophy. It's a scalp. But it's not a solution."

Tiptronic, which is available with six speeds, features Dynamic Shift Program (DSP), key lock, and shift lock. All gear changes take place without any interruption in engine power. Tiptronic also allows the driver to override automatic mode by moving the lever into a second shift gate, which permits, for example, downshifting on winding mountain roads to increase the braking effect of the engine, or a particularly sporty driving style. Six-speed Tiptronic has wider transmission spacing, thus reducing fuel consumption and noise level as it increases ride comfort. On all models, an additional Sport program delays upshifts for a sportier driving style. Shift quality has been further improved thanks to electronics integrated directly into the transmission.

So, I thought it was appropriate to follow my introduction of iKnowHow with a post that had a bit less about cats and more about what a 'wiki' actually is.
Most of us will know about wikis from the huge site Wikipedia; the free, collaborative, multilingual internet encyclopaedia. Wikipedia is without a doubt the most successful wiki ever - with over 100,000 regular contributors and a total of 20 million articles written by volunteers around the world. According to Alexa, it's the 6th most popular website in existence.
But it's not just Wikipedia. There are thousands of different types of wikis across the internet, from the enormously popular Muppets Wiki to the infamous WikiLeaks. In short, wikis are commonplace, we already use them and they're here to stay. more >

TOPIC: Animal Habitats
Scouts, join us for custom-designed overnights just for you! All the fun and adventure of other Bunk with the Beasts overnight adventures, plus activities, tours and crafts that meet badge or achievement requirements. These overnights are held on zoo grounds, with sleeping accommodations inside, at the Gates Education Center.
Each Bunk with the Beasts overnight adventure is specifically designed with activities that complement the theme of the Bunk you have chosen. Your group will explore exhibits, learn fun facts and anecdotes, and participate in learning games, crafts or stories that focus in on your Bunk topic. The Denver Zoo encompasses 80 acres, and is home to more than 4000 animals, representing over 750 different species. You will not see everything or learn all there is to learn in just one visit, but you will delve deeper into the topic at hand. And, registered participants are free to explore the zoo on your own after the Bunk ends, if you would like to see some of the exhibits and animals not related to your chosen topic.
Bunk with the Beasts overnight adventures offer a more intimate, personalized exploration of the zoo. Each Bunk with the Beast overnight adventure includes different activities specific to the theme, but you can count on an active, fun-filled experience that includes:
- A guided zoo tour focusing on animals relating to the Bunk theme
- Animal encounters (you will not touch a tiger, but you will get up close and personal with some of our "lower profile" residents that play an equally important role in their habitats!)
- A variety of educational games and activities, including use of night vision scopes.
- An opportunity to see the zoo at night, without the large crowds!
Scout Bunks are tailored around Girl Scout or Cub Scout badges, try-its, journeys or achievements. They are slightly higher in price than group bunks, because they do include dinner and Bunk with the Beasts patches for scouts. Scout groups are welcome to register for a Group Bunk date, but we ask that you note the differences and select the best option for your troop or pack. Please contact us if you are unsure of the type of bunk for which you registered.

As the debate between Elizabeth Colbert Busch and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford got under way Monday, there was an elephant in the room: Would Colbert Busch mention Sanford's infamous extramarital affair?
About halfway into the showdown, the Democratic candidate vying to represent the state's 1st Congressional District took a swipe at the Republican and his secret 2009 trip to see his mistress in Argentina.
"When we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about protecting the taxpayers, it doesn't mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose," she said sternly, looking directly at her opponent on stage.
Her supporters in the crowd burst into applause and cheers. When one of the moderators motioned for Sanford to respond, an awkward exchanged ensued.
"I couldn't hear what she said," Sanford said, as Colbert Busch and some in the crowd began to laugh. "Repeat it. I didn't hear. I'm sorry."
"Answer the question," she replied.
"What was the question?" Sanford said, smiling. He went on to talk about the forced spending cuts known in Washington as the sequester.
The debate came eight days before the May 7 special election, held to fill the seat vacated by Republican Tim Scott when he was appointed to a Senate seat held by then-Sen. Jim DeMint, who resigned December 31.
Sanford is attempting to make a political comeback after the 2009 affair tarnished his reputation. His staff told reporters he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, but it was later discovered he had traveled to South America to see the woman to whom he's now engaged.
He and his then-wife, Jenny, were divorced in 2010, and Sanford finished his second term in 2011. Before running for governor in 2002, Sanford held the same congressional seat he's now trying to reclaim for three terms.
Although the district has long been a Republican stronghold and Sanford was considered the favorite in the May election, the race seemed to shift three weeks ago when court documents showed that his ex-wife had filed complaints against Sanford for trespassing on her property. He's scheduled for a court appearance two days after the election.
Colbert Busch, the sister of satirist and talk show host Stephen Colbert, also pounced on a local issue in the debate--her first political debate ever. She highlighted Sanford's congressional vote in 1997 against $2 million in federal funds aimed to boost traffic in Charleston Harbor. He was the only member of South Carolina's House delegation to vote against the project.
Sanford shot back, saying his vote must not have "bothered her that much" at the time, given that she later contributed to his candidacy for governor.
"I don't think you would have written me a $500 check after I left the U.S. Congress," he said. "I get it that it bothers her now."
Sanford explained he was against the method of getting the money for South Carolina, not the project itself. "I was in essence against earmarks before being against earmarks was cool," he said.
Sanford repeatedly brought up money that national Democratic groups have poured into the South Carolina race recently. As he's done in the last week on the campaign trail, Sanford said a vote for Colbert Busch would also be a vote for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. (To make that point, Sanford debated a cardboard cutout of Pelosi last week.)
"What it says is, whose voice do you carry when you go to Washington, D.C.?" he said Monday, pointing to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that national Democratic groups have spent on the race.
Whenever Sanford mentioned Pelosi during the debate, he faced giggles and jeers from Colbert Busch supporters in the audience. One yelled, "She's not here."
But Colbert Busch sought to distance herself from Washington.
"I want to be very clear, Mark, nobody tells me what to do, except the people in South Carolina's first district," she said. "I am a fiscally conservative, independent tough businesswoman."
Trying to make her case, she criticized the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's health care reform that was passed by Congressional Democrats in 2010 and upheld by the Supreme Court last year. Colbert Busch argued there are points in the bill that are "extremely problematic," saying it's expensive, slashes Medicare benefits and costs jobs. But then she went on to highlight multiple provisions in the law that she favors.
In her closing remarks, she announced she would take a 10% cut from her congressional salary if elected.
The 75-minute debate was largely based on substantive disagreements, with the two debating gun control, entitlement reform, local issues, same-sex marriage and unions. Sanford's affair came up somewhat on another occasion. He was asked by a moderator if he would vote for President Bill Clinton's impeachment again, like he did when he was in Congress.
"I would say this: Do you think that President Clinton should be condemned for the rest of his life based on a mistake that he made in his life?" Sanford said, prompting strong cheers and applause from his supporters in the audience.
Sanford has been open about his affair on the campaign trail, making it the subject of his first campaign ad and repeatedly seeking redemption for what he describes as a mistake. He argued that the episode will make him a better congressman if elected.
"You don't go through the experience I had back in 2009 without a greater level of humility," he said, adding that such humility will allow him to sit down with Republicans and Democrats alike to find common ground. "I think it's incredibly important to forging conclusions in Washington, D.C."

Three-car crash injures woman
WOODFORD A three-vehicle crash in Woodford on Route 9 on Sunday left a West Dover woman with a possible neck injury, according to a press release from the Vermont State Police.
Jordan Mantello, 17, of Troy, N.Y., was driving a 2003 Cadillac Deville west on Route 9 when he fell asleep at the wheel, police said.
The Cadillac crossed the center line and collided with a 2000 Subaru Legacy driven by Jollene Mahon, 35, of West Dover. The Legacy spun around several times causing another collision with a 2008 Nissan pickup driven by Richard Setzer, 28, of Bennington, police said.
Mahon was taken to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington with a possible neck injury. Mantello and two of his passengers were also taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Police said it was snowing and the roads were icy at the time of the crash.
All vehicles involved sustained significant damage from the crash and were towed from the scene.
