Once upon a time…
GAGAN RISM discovers that there's more to Greece than Athens.
That archaeological sites could employ someone specially to let children connect with their ancient heritage was something I had not imagined. My recent trip to Thessaloniki in Greece changed my perception.
Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece after its capital Athens. Like Athens, Thessaloniki or Salonika too is replete with ancient ruins. Roman Agora or the ancient market place on Filipou Street is one largest of such sites. Stepan, whom I thought was a guide, showed me around the place. Later I learnt that his job was to educate school-children about their heritage through these sites. With a doctorate in Archaeology, Stepan's job includes devising games in cyberspace as well.
Social hub era
The Roman Agora or market square, which flourished under Roman rule in 3** century BC, was a kind of modern day plaza which people used to visit for shopping, dining, debating on political matters, enjoying a steam spa in a public bath, watching musical performances, poetry recitals… all in one area. It was thus a hub of political, social as well as economic life.
The entire site is painstakingly excavated and preserved. A walk behind rows of shops leads to a closed passage-way meant for warehouses. Later, citizens started using it as reservoir for storing water, which had become almost a scarcity during Turkish invasion in the 15th century. From small ducts on the upper side of the wall water used to be poured inside. To the right of the passage outside is a large ground with an open air auditorium in one corner where plays and poetry recitals were performed. The auditorium is still functioning and used for the same purpose. The performers use the same Green Room that their counterparts used in 3** century BC. The only change is the introduction of lights and mikes.
Rotunda, to the west of Melenikou Street, is yet another 4** century BC structure built by Roman emperor Galerius who intended it to be tomb but later converted into a church and then a mosque under Turkish invasion. The dome is unique for the golden mosaic work from inside.
Of the Byzantine churches scattered around the city, the St. Dmitrios and the Metropolis Church stand out for their beautiful mosaics. At St. Dmitrios' Church at Ag. Dmitriou one can find candles 3-4 meters long priced at €7, €10 or €15 per candle depending on the length and width. The Metropolis Church on Mitropoleos Street is a feast for the eyes. Huge paintings depicting stories from the Bible cover its walls, pillars and ceiling.
White Tower or Lefkos Pyrgos on Nikiforis Street was actually a prison built by the Turkish invaders in the15** century. Located at waterfront, to its right is the sea and on the left the sprawling city. The walkway connecting White Tower is accessible from any square or by lane.
The experience of being a tourist was great. People are friendly and supportive. The only thing was the language; not many people speak English.
But most shops had *Made in China' labels on everything from jewellery to electronics! Looking for something Greek in Greece was the biggest pain! The biggest surprise was Nargis: the only Indian restaurant in the town. Nargis was Google's gift to me. Snuggled quietly at the back of A. Svolou Street, it feels like home! The ambience is Indian; from curtains to decoration, brass utensils, icon of Hanuman, Amar Chitra Katha books and, surprisingly, pictures of Nargis. The owner is a Greek who seems to be great fan of Nargis whose pictures are in every nook and corner. A Bangladeshi cook and Indonesian waitress serve spicy Indian food in a restaurant owned by a Greek! The food was good and affordable!

1. Estimate how long you'd roughly like your chain to be. You don't have to be very precise with the lengths of your chains as it looks better with some variation.
2. Cut your chains using the cutting edges of your plier.
3. Open your jump rings by pushing one end forward. Never open your jump rings sideways as this will ruin the shape of it.
4. Attach one end of your chain to the jump ring. Do so for the rest of your chains.
5. Attach your ring to the jump ring as well. Close your jump ring by pushing the ends back together.
6. Now, you are done with one side! Do the same for the other ring with the opposite end of the chains.
7. Done! Now you have your own stylish double rings. Play with the different styles by mixing different chains together or using rings with several hooks. Have fun with it!

Make mold mitigation top priority in flood cleanup
Your basement was flooded during the recent storm – and now what? You can haul away the soggy cardboard boxes, the waterlogged family room furniture and the ruined furnace and water heater and begin the hard work of cleaning up. But there is an often hidden and far more insidious interloper following a storm or flood – mold.

Sure they do, but kill the "everybody is out to get Memphis" mentality. People don't respect this junk conference that we play in. When we get this 8 or 9 seed watch how many of you scream that we were robbed and say that "they have something against Memphis".

Sorry to hear about your losses, but consdiering the amount Triac can raise T3 levels I feared that would happen (hence the recommendation of increasing carbs). You should actually bounce back fairly quickly and the pump should return (and fullness) within a week to 10 days. Its been my epxerience that no matter what you take, increased levels of T3 will flatten you out and you need to compensate wioth additional carbs (as T3 inhibits glycogen storage).
As far as running the second bottle its up to you. I say go for it and see what happens but its an expensive experiment so I could see your hesitation.

Seek the welfare of the city...and pray to G-d for it, for in its peace, you shall have peace -- Jeremiah, 29:7
The role of government is to balance communal and individual good. This is only possible when society is governed by the principles of morality and justice, law and order, under one G-d -- The Rebbe
Over the centuries, the human race has experimented with many forms of government. Imperialist monarchies and despotism once ruled the world, giving way to such political and economic extremes as fascism and democracy, Marxism and capitalism. The twentieth century has been a particularly turbulent one. After two World Wars and the rise - and unexpected fall - of communism, we now have the luxury of hindsight to assess and learn from these various systems.
In each case, mankind continues to be plagued by the same basic conflict: individual rights versus the greater good of the community. The role of government is to strike a balance between the two, and yet no political system has been able to perfect this balance.
Human beings are naturally diverse in their beliefs and ambitions. Such differences often produce conflict between individuals and throughout society. Suppressing this diversity would infringe on individual liberties, and is therefore unacceptable; and yet allowing every person unbridled freedom is also unacceptable, for each person would then be free to do as he chose, including harming another person or society.
Most governments have reacted to this paradox by opting for one extreme or the other. Totalitarianism argues for the good of the whole at the expense of the individual; it believes that the individual is inherently selfish, and that his needs will ultimately fragment a nation and undermine the common good. Ironically, it is under such regimes that individuals -- that is, dictators -- assume unprecedented powers. We need no reminder of the untold misery that this form of government, in most cases, has caused the human race.
Democracy, on the other hand, nurtures the very individualism that totalitarianism squelches; it declares that all men were created equal and possess the right to pursue their beliefs without hindrance. Democracy contends that it is better to have motivated free people and risk excessive self-interest than to destroy their drive by suppressing individualism for the common good.
Democracy would appear to be a far superior form of government than totalitarianism. But democracy contains an inherent flaw, in that its essential motivating factor is self-interest. Over time, the core values of a community can begin to crumble under the accumulated weight of millions of individual desires and needs. Ultimately, these conflicting interests can erode a societys unified drive for meaningful achievement. Several democracies have struggled mightily with this dilemma, perhaps none more than the United States, the largest democracy in the history of the world. Consider the current battle in dozens of American cities where individuals freedom of expression have come in conflict with community standards of morality.
Since people are bound to have vastly different beliefs, who should define the standards of morality and justice that must rule all the people? At what point does a government intervene to keep an individual from harming himself or others? How do we avoid the abuse of power by government leaders?
The only government that can successfully balance individual and societal needs is a righteous government built on faith in G-d. The underlying flaw of all governments, whether fascistic or democratic, is that they are based on human rules. Any government built on human judgment is bound to revolve around the prejudice, subjectivity, and arbitrariness of individual humans or groups. But G-d, who created all people equal, also gave them a system of absolute morality and justice.
A society that yearns to be righteous must be built on such ethical values.The very foundation of civilization rests upon the basic principles known as the Seven Noahide laws given at Sinai[1]:
1. Belief in G-d. 2. Respect for and praise of G-d. 3. Respect for human life. 4. Respect for the family. 5. Respect for others rights and property. 6. Creation of a judicial system. 7. Respect for all creatures.
Without these laws as a bedrock of government, a society will either have despotism, where individuals lives are compromised and possibly abused, or anarchy, where every person pursues his or her own needs without regard for the law.
So how is it possible to balance individual freedom with the good of society? By looking beyond self-interest and recognizing that we are all part of the same family and community; by recognizing that we are all bound by the same divine laws and entrusted with the same mission in life - to civilize the world in a meaningful and G-dly way.
What steps should government take to ensure the welfare of its citizens?
The key to balancing individual and communal needs is education. For a government to be truly dedicated to the welfare of its citizens their physical, emotional, and, above all, spiritual welfare it must make education its primary objective without which all the other points are moot. A government and its leaders not only must teach citizens how to pursue rational solutions to complex problems but must teach them how to live. It must educate them that human conduct must follow the divine laws given to us all by G-d. This is the only guarantee that individual rights will be preserved without compromising the common good.
The United States epitomizes these principles. This is a country, after all, whose founders declared it one nation under G-d. Sessions of Congress are opened with a religious invocation; the Bible is used to swear in elected officials, and chaplains are appointed in the armed forces. Even this nations currency - the very icon of materialism - declares In G-d We Trust.
The majority of this countrys early settlers were religious refugees who firmly believed in G-d and the Bible, and were determined to protect their right to do so. This was not an abstract belief in a supreme being who dwelt somewhere in heaven; it was a belief that permeated every aspect of their lives, particularly the education of their children. They appreciated and understood this newfound religious freedom.
These core beliefs are the secret of the nations endurance. Having built itself on a firm and permanent foundation, the United States has become the most powerful of nations, in a unique position to positively influence every inhabitant on the face of the earth.
And yet we are currently witnessing a sad phenomenon. The spirit of the Constitution has been misinterpreted, with some parties taking religious freedom to mean freedom from religion. Even a non-denominational moment of silence in schools has been opposed.
When the founding fathers included freedom of religion in the Bill of Rights, they were ensuring the freedom of every man to worship G-d according to his own conscience; there can be no doubt that the Constitution was meant to preserve religious freedom, not to wean the nation away from G-d.
The principle of separation of church and state should not be misconstrued as a denial of G-d and religion. This separation is necessary so that government cannot impose any one religion on all its citizens; but such vigilance must not be carried out at the expense of the belief in G-d, which is shared by all denominations.
The United States is now faced with countless social disorders, many of which stem from the lack of belief in G-d and a corresponding lapse in respect for the divine laws of morality. Shouldnt the Constitution be interpreted in a way that addresses this national crisis instead of avoiding it?
The only way to ensure that people adhere to a moral order is to instill in them a permanent sense of values. Punishing a person after he has committed a crime, for instance, is not attacking the cause of the problem, but its symptom. Clearly, a child who is brought up without the fear and respect for G-d in his heart will have no fear or respect for any authority - his parents, his teachers, the police. He must learn to accept the concept of a divine moral code that we all must obey. He must realize that the laws of man are rooted in something far more eternal: the Ten Commandments.
We must use every opportunity to cultivate this awareness.The moment of silence at the beginning of each school day is a good example. By no means is this a violation of the separation of church and state, for the child can use the moment however he or she wishes. But by encouraging this moment, we are telling the child that believing in a higher being is fundamental to all education, that knowledge per se is worthless without knowing how to use it for the good of society at large.
After all, there is another motto on U.S. currency besides In G-d We Trust; it is E Pluribus Unum, or Out of many, one. We must never allow our government to forget that every community is inherently made up of many individuals, and each individual should be encouraged to participate and contribute his individual strengths toward the greater good of the united community.

One of the great American monetary economists, Anna Schwartz, died Thursday, June 21, 2012, in New York City. She was 96 years old....
Anna was best known as co-author with Milton Friedman of A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960 (1963). She also was the staff director of the United States Gold Commission, 1981-1982. Critics sometimes misinterpret the Commission's final report. They say that the report should have taken a forthright stand in favor of the return of the gold standard....Read it at Zero Hedge
Anna noted that President Ronald Reagan was presumably in favor of the return of gold and that he appointed several members of the commission, including members of the executive branch. As she put it, the Republican appointees were waiting for a signal from the White House that never came.

Burma's President Thein Sein has signed a law that will allow citizens of Burma, also known as Myanmar, to request permission to stage peaceful protests for the first time, BBC News reported. All protests were previously banned in Burma. This is the latest reform measure taken by Burma's first civilian-elected government since the military junta handed over power earlier this year. According to the law, anyone planning a protest must request approval five days before the protest from the police, who can deny permission but must offer a reason for doing so, the Associated Press reported.
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton toured Burma earlier in the week. "It is a powerful endorsement for the government of Myanmar," said Jim Della-Giacoma, the International Crisis Group's Southeast Asia Project Director said to GlobalPost about Clinton's visit. "It provides them with an opportunity to forge a new strategic relationship with the US," he said. "But to really make this work, they'll need to give up something in return."

I walked across the border into Burma a few years ago and found it fascinating. It was not westernized at all, very few cars and absolutely no advertising signs. The reason I mention this is that the heroine of the country Aung San Suu Kyi, is one of the most fascinating people in the world, and few know of her. She won the Nobel Peace prize in 1991, and having been under house arrest for 15 of the last 21 years she was unable to attend the award ceremony. President Obama called her from Air Force One recently, and the first thing she asked him was how was Bo. The highlight of Hillary's trip to Burma this week was having dinner with her. She has a degree from Oxford and a Ph.D from the University of London. And at the age of 66 she is beautiful. Anyone interested in the life of a woman who has given her life for the freedom of her country should spend a few minutes on "the Google" under her name.
December 3, 2011 at 6:32 pm
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! That tweet is freaking funny and spot on.
December 3, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I can't leave the Newt "poor kids scrubbing toilets" thing alone. It speaks to the entire way of seperating the have's from the have not's. I remember Bush speaking at some toney dinner–"It's great to be here among the haves and the have mores. You are my people". My daughter has a mental disorder and lives on disability, food stamps etc. So, in Newt's world my grandson should be cleaning up after the more well to do kids!!!!! I can honestly say I hate the man. My hair is on fire! I make sure my grandson and daughter have the things they need, but without my help their lives would be pretty narrow. The whole "welfare queen" of the Reagen administration is such a joke. Now Newt is saying food stamps can be used to get you to Hawaii. I would like to see him and his plastic wife live on food stamps for a month.
December 3, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Besides all of that, it's clear Mitt knows nothing about business or institutional cleaning. My cleaning days are well behind me, but I remember we had to use stuff that was simply too powerful, powerwise or chemicalwise, to use in a private home. They had to be that way to clean up after god knows who many with diseases no one knew they had. Why would Newt want to expose children to such danger.
December 3, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Food stamps get you to Hawaii? I have been on food stamps several times, both the book and card. and I've never known anyone who got -or had ever gotten enough to get you out of town, let alone Hawaii!
December 3, 2011 at 7:24 pm
This is why I love that President Obama will be speaking about the "haves and have nots" this coming Tuesday, and reminding the Republican Party what they used to believe, and what the values of this country should be. The GOP has dragged this country into the gutter, and they now revere ignorance, hatred, racism and greed. They're about to get a lesson from President Obama.
December 3, 2011 at 7:38 pm
I know. What has my hair on fire also is Newt's statement about poor kids not seeing anybody working except those engaged in illegal activities. I'm sure this was a dog whistle to the racists, but there ARE poor white kids who live in cities and RURAL areas. The fact is on any day during the week go to a bus stop or subway station at 6:00am and see all the "poor" people who live in the "poor" communities going to work. They are known as the "working poor". I detest this man. In fact, I detest Republicans.
December 4, 2011 at 9:18 am
auni. Sorry to butt in but I totally agree with you in your condemnation of that pond life Newt! Having a husband with a mental disability and learning disability among other health issues I can understand your position totally. Your daughter and grand children sound like wonderful people and they are blessed to have such a kind and selfless person like you in their lives.I know what a struggle it is for us to manage on disability pay and I want to say thank you to you for all you do for them, you are a hero.

Brazil gets tough on foreign companies
BMW, creator of German luxury cars, said this year that it would consider opening its first South American factory in their country. The announcement was yet another sign of confidence in Brazil, an up-and-coming emerging market that has seen rapid growth. Brazil has become a top investment destination as businesses seek burgeoning markets amid the crises in the US and European nations. In turn, Brazil has worked to lure investors with the promise of a business-friendly environment and the opportunity for robust growth.
So BMW wanted to set up shop in South America's largest country, with its booming business centre and potential for big sales. And then Brazil hit back. The Brazilian government raised its tax on industrialized products by 30 percentage points for companies that produce less than 65 percent of their goods in the region. It was a bold move by a developing nation. Traditionally, nations hungry for investment have been willing to offer huge concessions to lure foreign companies. But Brazil, an influential member of the powerful BRIC nations, has turned that model on its head.
President Dilma Rousseff, who rarely plays by the rules, said publicly that she raised the tax to keep foreign companies in check. "All the companies that are complaining don't produce anything here in Brazil," Rousseff said in a recent television interview. "What we want is for foreign companies to come to Brazil. So in order not to pay higher taxes, they have to produce here, they have to create jobs for Brazilians."

Maureen Dowd completely neuters Newt.
A sample:
NEWT GINGRICH'S mind is in love with itself.
It has persuaded itself that it is brilliant when it is merely promiscuous. This is not a serious mind. Gingrich is not, to put it mildly, a systematic thinker.
His mind is a jumble, an amateurish mess lacking impulse control. He plays air guitar with ideas, producing air ideas. He ejaculates concepts, notions and theories that are as inconsistent as his behavior.
December 3, 2011 at 6:52 pm
My favorite description of Newt to date (by Paul Krugman): "he's what dumb people think smart people sound like" (or something to that effect).
December 3, 2011 at 7:18 pm
I don't like this woman, but she tears Gingrich to shreds here. You can almost see Morning Joke quoting her on Monday. The establishment don't want him, so with talking points in hand look for the crew to knock the Grinch around.
Let the infighting begin.
December 3, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Concur with your comment Africa. I despise and loathe Maureen Dowd. She was an original PUMA and has never been content with the idea of Barack Obama as President. The personal nature of her attacks against PBO in what she calls "journalistic articles" are despicable. I'm glad she realizes what a cretin Newt is; but she is no better herself.
December 3, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Agreed Ut. She is just as despicable. I was thinking exactly the same thing when I was reading it.
December 3, 2011 at 7:45 pm
THIS! not even the prospect of her tearing the Newtster a new one is enough to make me read her crap.
December 3, 2011 at 7:59 pm
You and me both, lisalovesobama. No clicks for Dowd. Dislike her intensely. Anyone remember how she behaved during the trip to Ireland? I do.
December 4, 2011 at 5:39 am
Yes, she was terrible. We had to decide whether to believe her or our lying eyes. To travel all the way to Ireland to bad mouth PBO's visit while the country was celebrating it was stupid on its face, completely tone-deaf.
December 3, 2011 at 11:05 pm
I'm right there with you Lisa…
My enemy's enemy is still not my friend…
There is nothing Maureen Dowd could do or say to get even an inkling of support or agreement from me…
I find her to be no less despicable than Newt Gingrich and every other low-life that swims right alongside both of them in the hate-filled, malicious, narcissistic, bitter, empty, sad swamp where they permanently dwell…
December 3, 2011 at 8:27 pm
I'm with you on that, ut. Of course, Maureen took down W quite nicely, which was why I used to check her column. But I haven't paid any attention to her whatsoever, since she started going after our President.
December 3, 2011 at 8:59 pm
I'd be surprised if Dowd were a PUMA, though I may have missed something. I stopped reading her in the 90′s because all she could do was spew bile about the Clintons, especially Hillary. Bitter, angry people aren't getting any of my energy, period. Of course, these days, that leaves out a lot of people! It's why this site is so great. Even on the very occasional hair on fire days, most of the gang are optimistic and positive.
December 3, 2011 at 10:43 pm
MIght have been more of a "for the sisterhood" thing than any actual love of HRC. She is the one who started the Obambi crap about the President and acts like he's that guy who didn't call back.

Problem with Mourning Joke is that the only way Huntsman gets a second look is if Newt stays ahead of Romney. They take out Newt and Romney wins Iowa and NH and the rest of the primary is his coronation.
December 3, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Huntsman will have problems with Tea party primary folks. They hate PBO and will view Huntsman as a traitor. I don't see him getting anywhere, despite Joke and other MSM.

Sarkozy sells out to Merkel on euro rescue
PARIS, France — In recent days, the French press has accused President Nicolas Sarkozy of selling out to the Germans. Liberation, for example, said he had morphed into "candidate Angela Sarkozy," writing, "if you closed your ears, you could hear Merkel speak." The taunts are unlikely to cease as Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel work on their grand plan to save the euro zone, forcing Teutonic fiscal discipline down EU throats.
In a speech on Thursday, Sarkozy parroted Merkel's ideas, arguing that the developed world was entering a "new economic cycle" dominated by debt reduction, with tough times ahead. Those who hoped he would announce a forceful intervention by the European Central Bank — with the creation of euro-bonds or a massive purchase of bonds — were disappointed.
Worried about losing its AAA credit rating, France had until recently been pressing Germany to lift its effective veto power on the European Central Bank and buy up sovereign debt to reassure markets and bring down interest rates. Germany instead has appeared more intent on punishing profligate EU members into balancing their books. And in the tete-a-tete between Berlin and Paris, Sarkozy blinked first. The president now says he is pushing for more fiscal discipline across Europe — Germany's central demand.

Vermont's Push to End Corporate Personhood
Friday 2 December 2011Over the last decade more than a hundred cities and towns across the country have passed ordinances putting citizens' rights ahead of corporate interests. They have banned businesses from dumping toxic sludge, building factory farms, mining, and extracting water for bottling. Some have also refused to recognize corporations as people.
On Jan. 21, 2010, however, the US Supreme Court firmly rejected that idea in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case, ruling that corporations are "persons" with First Amendment rights and cannot be prevented from spending unlimited funds on political campaigns.
David Cobb is determined to change that, and returned to Vermont this week to promote the next steps in a campaign to amend the US constitution. Last January, Cobb, a former Green Party candidate for president who leads the Move to Amend campaign, spoke about the issue in Burlington, Waitsfield and Montpelier during a tour of the state organized by the Women's International league for Peace and Freedom. He also met with 11 state senators who agreed to support a Vermont resolution calling on Congress to initiate the process.

I hope Priebus gets called out for this lie.
Despite A 0.0002 Percent Rate Of Voter Fraud, Reince Priebus Claims Wisconsin Is 'Riddled With Voter Fraud'
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus made a curious claim on MSNBC today, alleging that Wisconsin is a state "that was absolutely riddled with voter fraud."
The problem? A recent study by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice found just seven cases of voter fraud out of three million votes cast in Wisconsin during the 2004 election, a fraud rate of 0.0002 percent. All seven of these cases involved persons with felony convictions who weren't eligible to vote after being released from prison.
December 3, 2011 at 8:21 pm
This Priebus fool is a person with zero integrity. He lies as easily as he breathes. I hope he doesn't have children.
December 3, 2011 at 8:30 pm
First time I listened to him was on that very same MSNBC show. He is one nasty dude. He reeks it.

Question for all you brilliant folks: now that Cain has "suspended" his campaign, when does his secret service protection end? I don't want to see the guy hurt, but, how long do the taxpayers pay for his protection? When is he officially out? When Mitt or Newt win the nominatin?
December 3, 2011 at 8:32 pm
That's a very good point. Not sure if the "suspending" part changes things or not; otherwise, he shouldn't warrant Secret Service protection if he's not a candidate. Also don't want him to get hurt, but let's not make a further mockery of our prudent systems via this loser's hands.

GOP aide goes on trial in Maryland for suppressing black voters
A former Republican governor's aide accused of election fraud in Maryland defended himself in court on Friday against claims an automated phone message he authorized was intended to suppress black Democrat voters. Paul Schurick, 55, campaign manager for former Maryland governor Robert Ehrlich, testified that the phone calls made to more than 100,000 Democratic, mostly-black voters on election night last year were intended to inspire them to vote.
The message assured listeners that Ehrlich's Democratic opponent — incumbent Martin O'Malley who had defeated Ehrlich's reelection bid in 2006 — and President Barack Obama, who was not up for election, were already "successful." "Our goals have been met," said the message delivered in a woman's voice starting at about 6 p.m. on November 2. "The polls are correct and we took it back. We're OK. Relax. Everything's fine. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight."

You have a lot of patience. I unfollowed him after just a couple of weeks. He got huffy with me when I asked him very politely to explain something he said. I think he's bitten off more than he could chew and I can see why PBO let him go when he offered to resign. He has a good heart but lately not clearly in command of the political landscape in any kind of mature way. Just my opinion.
December 3, 2011 at 9:34 pm
I have had an uneasy feeling about Van Jones. I guess the correct word is "uneasy". I don't know. There's something about him that I don't like. I had this feeling before OWS. I don't assess people based on my "feelings", but I just don't know about Van.
December 3, 2011 at 9:37 pm
He was okay until he tied his fortunes to Huffington and then it all went down hill from there. He lost all of his independent thoughts and its really sad since he was such an forceful voice.

He's an opportunist unfortunately and tried to get in on the financial/influence-wielding hustle which just totally blew up in his face…
What a shame too…
He could have been a voice for good for what it was really worth, but now he is persona non grata with the PL crowd who never really trusted him try as he did to earn their trust by turning on the President…
Worse still, he lost what would have been his true and natural support base – Obamacrats like us who appreciated his support of the President but now loathe him for his cheap, greedy & dishonorable flip…

100% agree. When I watched it in the theaters, I thought I was going to choke on my snacks. It's just too damned funny. The other movie that came close to being as funny for me was Chris Rock's Death At A Funeral.

December 3, 2011 at 9:22 pm
OHHHHHH HERE HE GOES!!!! Bringing up PBO!
Cyndi is not falling for it – She is DEFENDING PBO and saying that she thinks PBO is trying really hard given the enormous debt he inherited from the 8-yr GOP reign, and the Republicans are blaming the black guy after all the damage GWB did. Cyndi is going off on the Repubs.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You got PUNKED Piers!
December 3, 2011 at 9:33 pm
The only time I've seen Piers' show is when Beyonce was on it. From the sounds of it, Mr. Morgan has been bitten by the Obama bug — he eats, drinks and sleeps PBO. Maybe he's here, undercover. Ha!

My post has gotten eating. Every time I try to post something from TPM it get eaten.
December 4, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Desraye, I've seen all of your posts and the links. Perhaps it's just you who can't see them. For instance, I just read the one about Gingrich leading in a TPM piece. (And to comment on this latest one, I think the Republican field is so downright awful it doesn't much who is "leading.)"
About not being able to see your posts — have you updated your program lately? I hate stopping and updating and was having problems and my husband sat down here and updated everything. Instantly all my problems disappeared.

Shit. There's a Republican forum on Faux Noise? Whaaaaat??? Haven't we been tortured enough?
December 3, 2011 at 9:36 pm
You know, I think Piers Morgan needs to have some sort of "Obama" segment kinda like Tweety has "let me finish," Ed has "PsychoTalk" and L'OD has "Last Word" segments on their respective shows.
He's now asking Shaquille O'Neal the same question. I will tweet Piers and suggest that he reserve a segment just to ask people their feelings about Obama. I will suggest a variety of names for segment including but not limited to: "Dreams of Obama" "Musings about Obama" "Feelings for Obama" "Obsessions with Obama" "Ogling Obama" "Stalking Obama" "Haunting Obama" SHEESH.
December 3, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Shaq supported PBO and his accomplishments 100%. Said he's solidly for PBO in 2012.
December 3, 2011 at 9:59 pm
Not only did he unequivocally support him, but he expressed full confidence that PBO would win in 2012. Now Piers is talking to Magic Johnson. He will ask him the magic question about PBO soon.
December 3, 2011 at 10:24 pm
Hmm…good for Shaq, I know Magic was a Hillary supporter, not sure if he is on the Obama train
December 3, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Well, lookie here – Ron Paul will not subject himself to the humiliation of participating in the Donald Trump debate farce. Paul says it is beneath the office of the presidency. And Jon Huntsman plans to curl up with a bowl of popcorn to watch Mitt and Newt suck up to Donald Trump. Ouch! Trump and Paul are tearing each other apart. A real cat fight has ensured. Popcorn please…..

you will not believe i am having a twitter battle with Roseanne Barr. she has serious psychological issues. She says Obama is a Manchurian candidate, who parent are secret Cia agent. This is not snark the is real. Something is definitely wrong with her.
December 3, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Tulips, she is not dealing with a full deck. She's been picking fights all week with all kinds of people. She truly believes she can win 2012 election to become POTUS. In other words, she's totally NUTS.
December 3, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Yes, she got into it many days ago with some folks on Twitter with her paranoid rantings about PBO being a murderer and Wall St. Puppet, etc. Marion blogged about her bizzare Twitter exchanges.
December 3, 2011 at 9:57 pm
I saw her tweets the other day when people were first talking about her – geez louise.
December 3, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Interesting….I remember seeing her on one of Oprah's last shows before it ended and she was singing PBO praises. She told Oprah that she was mad at her at first for not supporting Hillary, but that Oprah had made a good choice and agreed with her. Sometimes I wonder if some of these 2nd rate stars just evoke the Obama name just for publicity. The media will rush to any celebrity that speaks negatively of him, but of course she could be delusional and medicated as well. But I expect lots of people wanting fame to kick up the negativity during this election season.
December 3, 2011 at 10:20 pm
Her lastest ramblings are seriously delusional and paranoid. It's not really a matter of publicity-seeking. She's ranting and saying things that are just nuts.
December 3, 2011 at 9:54 pm
I sent her a tweet the other day suggesting she might need some help. She's delusional in a medically concerning way I'm afraid. She's claiming she is running on the Green Tea Party ticket although with one little problem – she's registered in 0 of the 50 states. I tried to watch this and only got thru the first few minutes of her announcing her campaign outside the White House grounds.
December 3, 2011 at 10:28 pm
She well could be the 'hail mary' candidate for the GOP
Time for some fun …

Hey #RoseanneBarr, don't go 'green' go 'GOP'! After tonight's farce you could be their 'hail mary candidate' with Palin as awesome VP choice#PRESSON
December 3, 2011 at 10:39 pm
lol. I saw a tweet from her where she said both parties are the same: GOP owned by Koch brothers and Dem party by George Soros. I think she is seriously in love with her clever name "Green Tea Party". She was a pretty damn funny comedian years ago.
December 4, 2011 at 6:51 am
More Roseanne lunacy….I too was enlightened by her crazy tweets to me. LOL! Her response in part…'facts are your friend' #operationpaperclip! The nut tweeted that both Obamas parents were scientists employed by the CIA thus the Manchurian Candidate conclusion! Upon my fact-finding mission I learn that Operation Paperclip was an OSS program to recruit Nazi scientists to the US after WW2. So you see how easy it is to conclude that Obama's parents must have been in on Operation Paper Clip! NUTS NUTS NUTS

Following in the footsteps of George Wallace
by Dennis G.George Corley Wallace is remembered as a symbol of American racism. Folks remember the image of him standing in the school house door to block integration and his words "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever". Folks remember his two runs for the White House on a "Law and Order" platform that seemed to be entirely built out of racist code talking and dog whistles. Wallace worked hard to earn his status as an icon of racism.
And yet, I don't think George Wallace was a racist. Rather, I think he was an ambitious man who decided that pandering to racists was his best path to power. In his early political life, Wallace was liberal—a progressive. He was an alternate Democratic delegate to the 1948 Convention and did not join most of the Alabama delegation as they walked out to protest the Civil Rights plank Harry Truman had added to the platform. He returned to Alabama and served on the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute. He was elected a Circuit Court Judge and was remembered as being pretty damn fair regardless of race. In 1958 he ran for Governor and sought the endorsement of the NAACP while speaking out against the KKK and refusing their support. His opponent pursued the opposite strategy. Wallace lost badly and told a friend "you know why I lost that governor's race?… I was outniggered by John Patterson. And I'll tell you here and now, I will never be outniggered again." In response, he tossed his values and beliefs overboard and perfect the pander to assholes as a winning political strategy.
And this brings me to Willard "Mitt" Romney. He is just as ambitious as George Wallace and like the former Alabama Governor willing to say and do anything in the pursuit of that ambition. Like Wallace, Romney has decide that pandering to racists and stoking their fears is a winning political strategy.
Now, you could argue that this is true of most of the GOP Presidential Candidates and there would be some truth to that. But many of the other candidates have built their entire political careers by shameless pandering to racists for their votes—they never had a moment where they could have been identified as a moderate let alone a progressive. For example, you could never identify a moment of his political career when Gingrich wasn't pandering to assholes. It is all he has ever done. Newt is more like Strom Thurmond or Jessie Helms. Romney is different. He is more like Wallace.
December 3, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Funny – Newt's being compared to southerners like Thurmond and Helms. Newt was actually born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (oh, I'm sure they're so proud). Remember when his mother was interviewed once and was asked what Newt had said about Hillary Clinton? Here's the short reply his mother gave. Not much different than how Herb Cain seems to feel about women.
December 4, 2011 at 3:52 am
Gingrich, a former speaker of the House of Representatives, has support from 25 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers, up from just 7 percent in late October, the poll conducted for The Des Moines Register newspaper found.
Texas Representative Ron Paul and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney finished second and third, with support at 18 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
December 4, 2011 at 6:32 am
Look who was shilling Nasty Newt for his righteous 'moral imperative' to lead on the moral crisis in this country in 1995. None other than Arianna Huffington……..Make no mistake HuffinPuff is still a Republican! In light of his recent remarks about school children as indentured servants, the following promotion from Arianna is stomach turning.
Via Twitter > @michaelscherer RT @thegarance: RT @crampell blast from the past: Arianna Huffington in 1995, on "Why Newt Must Run" for president > http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Protected/Articles/000/000/007/009pomwg.asp
The first moral imperative was expressed by Gingrich in his first speech as speaker: "How can any American read about an l 1-year-old buried with his teddy bear because he killed a 14-year-old, and then another 14-year-old killed him, and not have some sense of "My God, where has this country gone?" How can we not decide that this is a moral crisis equal to segregation, equal to slavery, and how can we not insist that every day we take steps to do something?"…………
…..Precisely because Gingrich is right about the moral crisis the country is facing — millions of lives and entire communities destroyed by drugs, alcohol, gangs, and violence — there is a moral imperative for him to fill the leadership vacuum and address the growing devastation.
…..But just as the Gingrich of November 1995 is different from the one who assumed the speakership, so too the Gingrich of November 1996 could be a far different, far more inspiring public figure. Gingrich may be a lightning rod, but he also embodies the revolution like no one else. He is its most articulate, self-confident, and unapologetic voice, and he burns with conviction that America can and will be a better place because of it……..
December 4, 2011 at 8:05 am
The idea of Arianna being the judge of anything moral is a joke in itself. There is nothing that woman won't sell for the right price. Those who actually think she has any principles whatsoever are sadly, sadly mistaken.
December 4, 2011 at 8:14 am
Good morning, TODville.
Here's a quote from Juanita Jean that I think sums up Repubs and Herman Cain:
I wish to thank Herman Cain for reinforcing every damn stereotype the Republican Party has about black males: he jives, he's unprepared, he's entitled, and wants to hoochy your wife. He was the perfect idea of what white Republicans think a black man is.
December 4, 2011 at 8:30 am
I think I may have blinked. Can someone point me to what happened with Van Jones and the PL? Or give me the Reader's Digest version? I didn't realize he was no longer in their good graces.
December 4, 2011 at 9:04 am
I think Van Jones has some good ideas, his problem is that he hasn't figured out the right platform to deliver them. As far as the PL goes, they have been reduced to propping up the #OWS movement while simultaneously praising Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman.

Viva Big Bend is an annual music festival held in far West Texas. In 2013, the festival will host events at nearly a dozen venues in the towns of Alpine, Fort Davis, Marathon and Marfa. More than 50 bands (representing a wide variety of genres) will entertain. There are many other events happening during VBB, including an art show, kids' activities and functions geared toward musicians/music-industry reps. 2012 was the first year of the music festival, and it was a big success – we recommend booking tickets (and hotel rooms) early this year.
We hope to see you in far West Texas this summer for VBB #2!
You'll probably want to view this online, rather than printing it. You can zoom in and out on the guide online, but if you print it to a single sheet of paper the text will be too small. When we print it, it will be a large fold-out map!

Kevin Costner & Modern West live!
ilentertainer | Jul 16, 2012 | Comments 2
Everyone has a "B" side. From the pitcher whose's curve doesn't anymore, to the rapper who felt he could act. It could be a side gig or finding a long lost passion. Maybe it's life's Act 2? Kevin Costner, yeah the actor's "B" side is the frontman for the country band Modern West.
He rolled into the way-western burb of St. Charles Saturday night the 14th for a sold-out crowd at the stately Arcada Theater. The standard tardy start began with a montage of some of his many movie roles, because on the surface, most were there to see what this was all about.
This isn't just a bunch of guys propping up an actor looking for a summer journey. Costner played all his own stuff, not a cover tune all night. He's taking this seriously. Seemingly comfortable in cowboy boots, he's a storyteller. "It's a four-minute song or a two-hour movie," he said. This is his journey about the movies and places he's been. They ripped through 15 songs and most all had that introduction of a story behind the story.
Things peaked when Costner brought out his daughter Lily for "Let Me Be The One." She may be on a summer adventure with the old man, but she more than held her own on acoustic guitar, and her vocals on "I Know These Hills" should have convinced everyone that she can do this if she wasn't a Costner.
Granted, he doesn't have all the stage moves down yet, and at times seemed a little awkward. He went to the "hands-out — hey, look at me" move similar to the one he used in Bull Durham while running to first after smacking a home run. Will Modern West be headlining the United Center soon? Probably not. Can he hit the high and extended notes? No, but he's got a sing-talking style that fits his music.
The "B" side of that old 45 wasn't always meant for regular airplay. But, they were always worth a listen; Costner and Modern West are worth a listen.

Kevin Costner and Modern West put on an excellent show and did not disappoint his many fans. Kevin is a story teller that shows in the songs that this band have written. One could see the pride on Kevin's face when his daughter Lily was singing. Thank you KCMW for a great night of music.
Now seeing K. Costner at Pitchfork would be something. Perhaps Bruce Willis could open for him?

Looks like Oracle is feeling the pressure from the free DBs like Postgres and MySQL.
From the Oracle webpage: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) is an entry-level, small-footprint database based on the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 code base that's free to develop, deploy, and distribute.
Looks like the maximum DB size is 4GB and it uses only one processor and at most one GB RAM.
Having a free Oracle DB is good for the projects where one is forced to use an Oracle DB.
SELECT a, b, INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.text' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' FROM test_table;
JR> Yes, those are the "certified" Linux releases, but Oracle versions prior to JR> 10g could be installed on other distros. The screenshots seem to indicate JR> that the Installer now checks which Linux you're running, which leads me JR> back to the original question. I haven't tried it myself, but Wim Coekaerts once mentioned an "-ignoreSysPrereqs" installer option that would get you past that Linux distribution check.
Or suggested by DJ: edit the oraparam.ini file and edit the supported versions section.
Or: run
runInstaller --help
and actually read it :-)

The Marvel universe was off the chain at Comic-Con yesterday.
At a panel ostensibly devoted to Iron Man 3, Marvel provided movie news galore with two new films as well as its forthcoming Thor and Captain America sequel names:
- Thor: The Dark World
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
