2013 amps up the themes of finance, sexuality, debt and change as Saturn prepares to overhaul this house of your horoscope until 2015. The good news is that you shall no longer feel all of the stress and strain (or dry spell) around relationships as you have since late 2009. The door is wide open to meet someone new or totally transform an existing relationship. The key words are depth, passion and intensity. Are you ready to get more intimate with your self and others than ever? If you've ever considered some kind of depth process like psychoanalysis, this is the year to plummet your own unfathomable depths, Aries. You have probably only scratched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unleashing your true powers, resourcefulness and regenerative powers. Have you secretly wondered what you are truly made of at your core of cores? Get ready to find out. This is also an excellent time to pay off any debt: both emotionally and financially.
Uranus continues to energize your stars and promote the rebellious side of your nature. You refuse to dance to anyone's beat but your very own. Last year's challenging cardinal climax brought considerable tension to your life -- especially around career, and some of the fall-out from any of that wreckage is still being integrated and renovated into the new and improved version of home and career possibility. The brave and risky moves you took in 2012 can take deeper root this year as you pour your passion and perseverance into making your dreams a powerhouse of a reality. By mid-year, you'll have the power of Jupiter working to expand your life from the ground up. You may be looking for a bigger home or just ready to take your life to a new level. No more playing small and safe. Get ready to experience your true potential for fame and fortune, Aries. There is a reason the Sun shines most brightly in your stars.
The eclipse patterns for 2013 will greatly impact the financial houses of your horoscope. You are learning powerful lessons in the money department as you develop greater resourcefulness and business savvy. You will never again question your true value nor will you accept anything less than what you know you are worth. This is a time to up the ante and rake in the level of compensation you deserve. You are also more willing and able to get grounded in the reality of your bank balance and strategically devise better ways to remove debt and improve your sense of security for long-term stability.
You'll be thrilled to know that any dry spell in the love arena is officially over, Aries. Saturn has officially left the building and won't be back to put you through trial and tribulation in your relationship zone for another three decades! All of the painful and difficult lessons you've learned about love since 2009 can now be put to good use as you prepare for deeper levels of intimacy than you have ever imagined. You've learned about the importance of boundaries and saying no to codependent patterns, and now you are about to learn the power of deep commitment, self-reliance and sexual monogamy.
Now that Saturn has come to teach you powerful lessons about your sexuality and regenerative powers as a woman and a partner, get ready to relinquish everything you think you knew about yourself. Secrets about your own inner workings will be uncovered whether you are actually in psychoanalysis (recommended) or not. 2013 could be one of the most intense years for confronting your fears around deep intimacy and loss, especially in love. Any part of you that is secretly jealous, terrified of losing emotional control or clings to security for dear life is about to be challenged and reformed for the stronger. This is the essence of self-empowerment.
Sexuality becomes a powerful theme in 2013 as you work to uncover and release any residual shame that holds you back from experiencing the depth and passion of your life force. Saturn in Scorpio in your house of sexuality and transformation proves to be a most healing force in bringing any darkness to the light so that you can fully embrace your true powers as a fiery and sexual being without any hangups, unconscious promiscuity or other self-destructive behaviors that actually deplete your vital energy and self-esteem.
Pluto continues to bring power and passion to your career zone -- but with the added support of Saturn this year. Saturn and Pluto are in what is called 'mutual reception' (i.e. they swapped signs) which means they reinforce the power of the other. Not only will you bring the integrity and diehard commitment of Pluto in Capricorn to all professional ambition, but now you have the added bonus of Saturn bringing the discipline and ability to push through every obstacle. When the going gets tough, the Ram gets going. Never have you been so determined to make an everlasting and profound mark in the world.
You will have the force of this year's eclipse points working your money zones to speed up change and release any stagnation and debt. With the combined power of both Saturn and the North Node in your sector of debt and resourcefulness, you are ready to work smarter instead of harder. Let your money work for you for a change instead of the other way around. You'll have Jupiter blessing your sector of wheeling and dealing making it easy to establish connection with just the right people to further your career goals.
The right people will show up at the right time to open doors you never thought possible. Don't be afraid to reach out to your contacts and let everyone know what you have to offer. And be confident in asking for any support you might need to further your cause. Although you are the epitome of independence, we all get by with a little help from our friends -- even you, darling Ram.

GTA IV is gaming's Best Picture Oscar, says Riccitiello
Speaking at EA's Redwood Shores HQ, company CEO John Riccitiello has said that GTA will be the most successful game of this year and possibly the current generation of consoles.
The EA boss gave the prediction after claiming the title will prove his assertion that the best and brightest games will soon be seen on a level with the biggest movies in terms of the entertainment business.
"Our industry is passing through a phase where I believe the greatest games will be viewed by almost everybody as being as important as Best Picture at the Academy Awards," he said.
Riccitiello went on in a Financial Times interview, speaking of how he plans to bring Rockstar within the EA "city-state" studio structure and how his epic plan to change the way EA works from the ground up was borne from managing indie developers.
"I spent three years outside EA managing independent developers, while EA ran a global monolithic studio organisation," he said. "I thought central command and control homogenisation had run its course."
Riccitiello's plan for EA isn't just about studio structure, though. Other ways of making money are getting a look in too.
"Above all, I'm trying to bring great quality and innovation back . . . I'm also trying to drive us towards a variety of new business models, whether it be subscription or micro-transactions, or advertising-based."

Stock Futures Rise on Improving Global Outlook
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were rising Friday ahead of reports that are expected to point to improvement in the economy.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were gaining 12 points, or 24.3 points above fair value, at 12,986. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 2.1 points, or 3.4 points above fair value, at 1365. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 2.5 points, or 8.6 points above fair value, at 2603.
Stocks closed up Thursday as data showed surprising resilience in German business confidence and further stabilization in U.S. jobless claims.
The final University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters index of consumer sentiment for February will be released at 9:55 a.m. EST. It's expected to show a reading of 72.8, up from 72.5 previously.
At 10 a.m., the Census Bureau's report on new-home sales for January is expected to show sales climbing to a nine-month high at a 315,000 annual rate after falling to a 307,000 annual clip in December.
"We see no reason to argue too vehemently with that consensus," said Dennis Gartman, the notable investor and publisher of The Gartman Letter. "It seems quite reasonable to us, but if we must argue we'll argue that the consensus is a bit low and that 330 thousand would be our 'guess.'"
Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, is looking for a big upside surprise from new home sales, estimating the number at 350,000. He cited the strong performance of the homebuilder stocks over the past few months, saying it "suggests something is stirring in the new home market," as well as the weather.
Germany's DAX was rising 0.48% while London's FTSE was down 0.03% as the Office for National Statistics confirmed that the United Kingdom's economy shrank 0.2% the fourth quarter due to a fall in business investment. Full-year expansion was also downwardly revised to 0.8%. Japan's Nikkei Average settled up 0.54% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 0.12%.

Penney (JCP) , the department store giant, said that it lost $87 million, or $0.41 a share, in fourth quarter profits, compared to a gain of $271 million a year earlier. Adjusted income fell to $45 million, or $0.21 a share. Analysts on average were looking for earnings of 68 cents a share on revenue of $5.5 billion. The retailer has jumped by $1.4 billion in value after new CEO Ron Johnson outlined a turnaround plan that kicked off on Feb. 1. Shares were down 0.3% to $41.80 before the opening bell.

I didn't know if I am doing this "right" however I really wanted to get some words down and write about my memories and things I like/love/know about wooden boats..houseboats..and all that.
All this has been triggered off by reading the blog here "Following the Pied Piper"....taking in Graeme's words..looking at his photos has rekindled my love of the sea and older boats..
I live across the road from the whalf here in Thames NZ..I can see the masts of the boats up on the hard..I go over there in my wheelchair and I breathe in the sea /fuel/paint smells and I am back as a small child with my father in the heat of the sun,our boat in a cradle up the creek behind the Meadowbank railway...I loved the look of the keel all rubbed down,the smell od the salt sea in the sun amongst the mangroves..it was my safe place..the only safe place.
On sunday I googled "Vagrant" boat from Auckland NZ..and up came the repair shop and many photos of her...
I can't express how it feels..however I suspect many of you will know anyhow..
now I need to save this and see if I can work out how to get my photos of the Vagrant on here..

Microsoft Xbox Price Cuts: Are They For Real?
10:07 AM EST Tue. Aug. 25, 2009More advertisements heralding the price cut of Microsoft's Xbox gaming console were reportedly leaked in advance today. The latest -- from retailer Target -- highlights a markdown for the Xbox 360 Elite by $100 and $50 for the Xbox 360 Pro models. That would mean shoppers could get the midlevel 60-GB Xbox 360 Pro for $250 and the high-end 120-GB Elite for $300. The photo of the ad is available on Engadget.
The price cut -- supposedly scheduled for the end of the month -- is not yet confirmed, and the photos of Target's advertisement are low-resolution. There are also some copy-editing errors in the flyer (inconsistent use of dollar signs indicating sale prices, for example), suggesting potential photo manipulation, so potential shoppers should be cautious.
However, rumors of the cuts have been circulating for weeks. Earlier in August, gaming site Kotaku, published a photo of a page in Midwestern store chain Mejir's catalog showing the Xbox 360 Elite offered at $299 as of the end of this month.
The price cut is highly anticipated as a competitive move against Sony, which in August lowered the price tags of its current PS3s by $100 and introduced the PS 3 Slim. Like the Xbox 360 Elite, the PS 3 Slim has 120 GB of storage and retails for $299.99. However, the Sony console also offers the ability to play Blu-ray discs.

Effect of Elective C-SectionHow does pregnancy affect pelvic floor dysfunction? Is there a sound scientific basis for the claim that having an elective c-section protects the pelvic floor? Does elective c-section have any long-term protective effects against incontinence? What factors do contribute to urinary incontinence later in life? Do women who have c-sections ever have urinary or bowel problems after delivery? Will elective c-section prevent sexual dissatisfaction during intercourse or uterine prolapse? If I had an anal muscle tear at my last birth, should I plan a cesarean section to prevent a repeat injury? Are there any circumstances when I might wish to consider elective c-section? In recent years, the claim has been made that planned cesarean section will prevent pelvic floor problems. These include concerns such as urinary stress incontinence (leaking urine with increased abdominal pressure such as when coughing, laughing, sneezing, or lifting a heavy object), bowel incontinence (leaking gas or � more rarely � feces, or a sense of urgency about elimination), sexual dissatisfaction, and uterine prolapse (sagging of the uterus). However, as you will see below, a closer examination of the issue reveals many problems with this claim. It is also important to consider the considerable offsetting risks of having cesarean surgery, which you can find in detail in Options: C-Section. How does pregnancy affect pelvic floor dysfunction?Pregnancy is a major factor in developing urinary stress incontinence. Many women who leak urine when they cough, laugh, sneeze, or lift heavy objects begin having the problem late in pregnancy. This is probably the result of the extra weight of the uterus and baby on the pelvic floor.Most women who experience urinary incontinence in pregnancy continue to have it after birth as well. Almost all women, though, will recover in the months after birth. Very few women still have serious problems 6 months to a year later. You can reduce the likelihood of having urinary incontinence by undertaking a program of pelvic floor exercises (kegel exercises) in pregnancy or after your birth. These can help prevent, relieve, or reduce urinary incontinence. Is there a sound scientific basis for the claim that having an elective c-section protects the pelvic floor?Not at this time. The medical studies cited in support of claims that elective cesarean will prevent urinary and bowel incontinence have many flaws. These include:
Does elective c-section have any long-term protective effects against incontinence?A very few women, perhaps 3 in 100, who had vaginal births will still be experiencing bothersome symptoms 6 months or more after birth. However, studies have failed to find any differences between vaginal birth and cesarean delivery after about age 50. This holds true even though virtually all women who had their babies before the mid-1970s had large episiotomies. Many also had routine forceps deliveries. In fact, a study of elderly nuns found that even women who have never been pregnant or given birth have high rates of urinary incontinence late in life.What factors do contribute to urinary incontinence later in life?Factors that do appear to affect urinary incontinence in later life include excess weight, use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), having a hysterectomy (surgery for removing uterus), smoking, repeated urinary tract infections, diseases such as diabetes, and diseases that affect mobility or mental ability such as arthritis or Alzheimers. Fortunately, many of these factors are within your control.Do women who have c-sections ever have urinary or bowel problems after delivery?Some women who have cesarean sections report urinary and bowel problems in the days and weeks after delivery. Listening to Mothers, a national Childbirth Connection survey, found that women who had had cesareans were more likely to complain of all types of urinary or bowel problems than women who had had vaginal births.Will elective c-section prevent sexual dissatisfaction during intercourse or uterine prolapse?Some arguing in favor of elective c-section also claim this will keep the uterus and other inner organs from sagging into the vagina (prolapse) and avoid the possibility an unsatisfactory sex life caused by loose muscles around the vagina. However, no study of cesarean versus vaginal birth appears to have looked at these issues. Moreover, if such a study were done, it would have to avoid the weaknesses listed above before it could be considered valid.As for sexual dissatisfaction, the greater likelihood of ill health and longer recovery that follows surgical delivery (vs. vaginal birth), the tender abdominal wound, and the possibility of developing internal scar tissue (adhesions) and ongoing pelvic pain all have the potential to interfere with sexual relations. If I had an anal muscle tear at my last birth, should I plan a cesarean section to prevent a repeat injury?As tears into the anal muscle are painful and can lead to bowel incontinence, it is important to avoid them. If you don't have an episiotomy this time around, your chances of having a repeat anal muscle tear with a vaginal birth are 1 in 50 or less. You will also want to weigh the risks of cesarean section against the risks of a repeat anal muscle tear. This website's Pregnancy Topic on cesarean section includes a detailed comparison of the risks of cesarean and vaginal birth in Best Evidence: C-Section .Are there any circumstances when I might wish to consider elective c-section?A difficult vacuum extraction or forceps delivery would increase your risk for pelvic floor injury. If faced with a difficult assisted delivery toward the end of labor, you may prefer to assume the risks of cesarean section.If you had a c-section in the past, this website has a Pregnancy Topic to help you understand your options, make your birth plan, and reach your goals called VBAC or Repeat C-Section. If you have not had a c-section and are considering planning one now, the VBAC or Repeat C-Section topic can help you understand issues you would face in future pregnancies with a previous cesarean.

It was evening and Seiji had already run out of things to do. He had just returned from his second ever mission to the human world in the afternoon. While Seiji was against hard work, he needed a bit of extra money and could only do so by killing hollows and hollows all form in the human world meaning they're more easy to kill over there making them easier money. Seiji's zanpakuto powers were designed to fight hollow and so it made sense that he targeted them. Against shinigami, Seiji's zanpakuto was not so effective.
"I wish a grand future for you and that fate shall treat you kindly" Seiji mumbled as he gave a final bob of his body with his incense. I planted the incense into the ground and left. Black butterflies surrounded him and showed Seiji a door, then through the door Seiji returned to the Soul Society. "Another job well done" he thought, patting himself in the back.

A 12-year-old girl got a series of text messages this summer from her mother's boyfriend, Woodstock police Sgt. Charles "Chip" Amati, according to copies of the messages obtained by the Tribune. One message, punctuated with a text emoticon shaped like a heart, read, "Send me some sexy pictures!" The girl's mother said she alerted authorities, and Illinois State Police investigators discovered something else - that Amati had used a taxpayer-funded law enforcement database to research his girlfriend's criminal record, a police report shows.
Nelson Mandela Gets His Divorce
By From Tribune News Services
March 20, 1996
Nelson and Winnie Mandela had no ordinary marriage, and no ordinary breakup. By the time the 38-year marriage formally ended in a messy divorce Tuesday, the public had witnessed the spectacle of the esteemed president of South Africa being forced to say he had been cuckolded by a spendthrift spouse. "This is no ordinary case," countered Winnie Mandela, arguing for a postponement after firing her lawyer in court Tuesday. Judge Frikkie Eloff was unswayed. Citing her refusal to testify or call witnesses, he granted an immediate divorce, cutting the union that once symbolized the struggle against white minority rule.
Ex-official: Cia Helped Jail Mandela
By Joseph Albright and Marcia Kunstel, Cox News Service
June 10, 1990
For nearly 28 years the U.S. government has harbored an increasingly embarrassing secret: A CIA tip to South African intelligence agents led to the arrest that put black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela in prison for most of his adult life. But now, with Mandela en route to the U.S. to a hero's welcome, a former U.S. official has revealed that he has known of the CIA role since Mandela was seized by agents of the South African police special branch on Aug. 5, 1962. The former official, now retired, said that within hours after Mandela's arrest Paul Eckel, then a senior CIA operative, walked into his office and said approximately these words: "We have turned Mandela over to the South African security branch.

When the suspects in the high-profile slaying of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton stepped up to the bench Thursday for what was supposed to be a routine arraignment, the judge announced an eye-popping figure that seemed anything but typical. Michael Ward, who is accused of being the gunman, faced 141 counts of first-degree murder - in a case with one fatality. The number raised eyebrows in the courtroom and prompted Ward's attorney to blast Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez for what he said was grandstanding in a case that has brought international attention - and the focus of the White House - to Chicago's scourge of gun violence.

Therapists see no developmental benefits from seats

Like other gadgets that confine babies, including walkers, exercise saucers and bouncy seats, the Bumbo Baby Seat is not popular among physical therapists. Bumbo's website says its product - which props up an infant in a sitting position before he may be physically ready to do it on his own - has developmental benefits and enhances posture. But the position actually teaches babies incorrect postural alignment, with a rounded back and the head leaning forward, said Mary Weck, clinical coordinator of physical therapy atChildren's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

Cramer recently joined the ranks of unemployed lawyers when her contract job ended in October. "I love the law, but being unemployed is very tough on the psyche," said Cramer, 28.

OK for a language but I disagree on using this to determine if it's an instrumental because I call this a hack. What would we do with scat songs ? For instrumental we need a new type ( But the "instrumental" is orthogonal to all other types, isn't it? Every current work type can either be instrumental or not, so it is wrong to add it as new type. If the language hack really isn't sufficient (I personally haven't thought about songs with vocals but no language), it should be an attribute of the work (like language), but not a new type. What do you think? It'd be great if multiple languages could be specified. I can think of a few examples where more than one language is used on the same track. I support the idea of implemeting Setting due date based on when this task was moved to 12mo bucket. As per http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=1301 : I'm not aware of any objections to storing the lyrics language of a work. This ticket has a number of votes and comments, so I'll take that to mean there is a consensus that we should implement it in some form. My proposal is: We should be able to specify a language for a work which will represent the primary lyrics language. The available languages should be taken from the existing language table. As with release languages, the ISO 639-2/T code (language.iso_code_3t) should be used when displaying the full name of the language isn't desirable (e.g. in the WS or where space is limited). The language should be settable from the add work (/work/create) or edit work (/work/MBID/edit) page. I don't know what supporting documentation, if any, would be needed. Notes: 1. I don't think we should implement multiple languages right now since it's more complex and opens up more issues. That doesn't mean we can't do it later on (once we have some actual experience dealing with such cases). The upgrade path for such a change in the future (once we know how we want it to work) should be fairly straightforward. This is also consistent with how we currently handle release languages. 2. Whether or not zxx should be used for instrumentals is an issue for the style list. 3. Support for multiple languages, Picard support and any improvements to the display should be given separate tickets if this is accepted as it is. 4. This would be best implemented alongside I completely agree with this ticket. I agree that a way to set a language for a Work is important, but I also agree with T Dilation that one language will sometimes not be enough. Also, Robert's idea of implementing it as dynamic attributes is elegant, but Nikki is right that it should be used only if dynamic attributes values can be limited to the values from a reference table. This ticket is under consideration for the May 15h schema change release. However, it is under specified at this point in time. In order to keep this ticket in consideration for the release, please do the following:
I think this would be a useful addition, I've been doing this with tags vocal-lang-* up until now, see e.g. this song in Mandarin and Cantonese: These are also recordings that I've tagged as being in multiple languages, e.g. http://musicbrainz.org/recording/0abc13b3-06aa-44ec-82fd-d16cb98a040c For at least Chinese, ISO 639-3 is a must, since the distinction to be made is between Mandarin, Cantonese and Taiwanese, not between the writing systems (simplified or traditional Chinese). Chinese is exactly what I was thinking of when I said this would be best implemented alongside Note that as an interim solution for multiple languages, the ISO 639-2/-3 code "mul" for multiple languages can be used, just as it is for track listings. I don't think this necessarily needs to wait for the dynamic attributes. Migrating it later should be easy enough. If nikki is suggesting the following: ALTER TABLE work ADD COLUMN language INTEGER; ALTER TABLE work ADD CONSTRAINT work_fk_language FOREIGN KEY (language) REFERENCES language (id); Then this seems fine. This ticket is in danger of being rejected from the upcoming schema change release. Please provide UI mock-ups today. As nikki already said earlier: "User interface changes: Copy the display of "Type" in all the places I already specified." Those places are: The language should be settable from the add work (/work/create) or edit work (/work/MBID/edit) page. (so, dropdown like the Type one) I feel this ticket is well defined (in terms of the DB and the UI) to be included as is. How will this be shown in the web service? Will we use a <language> element, which has previously been for the language of written text rather than content, or do we introduce a new element? Searching for work by language is failing with stack trace , http://test.musicbrainz.org/search?query=lang%3Ajpn&type=work&limit=25&method=advanced gives Attribute (language) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'Language' with value "jpn" at constructor MusicBrainz::Server::Entity::Work::new (defined at lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Entity/Work.pm line 84) line 87 (underlying search works correctly http://test.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/work/?query=lang:jpn) |

Hell of the North No.4
All photos Jonathan Hines
The fourth edition of Rapha's homage to Paris-Roubaix, the UK's very own Hell of the North, yet again proved a gloriously bumpy, muddy and leg shattering day out. This year's parcours included two never-before-seen sectors of dirt and gravé and a new finishing venue where a lot of very tired but satisfied riders enjoyed beer, chips and the sight of Fabulous Cancellara stealing victory at L'Enfer du Nord for a third time. Below are a few comments from some happy roulers:
The best yet. The espresso at the feed stop was pure class. Thanks Jack for keeping hold of my race cape, I'm glad I ditched it when I did, although I could have done with sweating out a few extra lbs (read stone)
@rapharacing great course for the Hell of the North, thanks again for the best feed station ever.#performanceprocycling
@rapharacing crew ride hell of the north iv. perfect day out in the bike.#hotn #womens100 clairelg12…instagram.com/p/X0XBJ0TXTo/
Thank you @rapharacing for an AMAZING #HellOfTheNorth day. Great ride, pave, coffees, + great#PR race! #superlatives My legs R sore now!
@rapharacing Thanks for putting on today's ride. A top day out in some beautiful sunshine.
Fantastic day, great course, good organisation, many thanks.
Second that. HOTN gets better each time I do it. Big thanks to Jack and co.
Thanks Jack and everyone at Rapha - a really nice day out on the bike
Another great day out from Rapha. Many thanks to Jack and the team - best signs yet. Although special thanks goes to Rapha's breakdown service courtesy of Laura.
Great day out. Good route. And the new pub at the end was a good choice. Thanks to Jack, Laura and good to ride with Mark, Erwan, Mike, Jordan, Rob and Josh albeit briefly.
With thanks to Muc-Off for providing bike wash cleaning products.

He starts out saying that he has the right to not own a gun and still feel safe, then he starts talking about not having a gun and being safe. Feeling safe and being safe are two different things. He has every right to feel safe. However, it is not my responsibility to make him feel safe. It is NOT the government´s responsibility to make him feel safe. As to BEING safe, it is still not anybody´s responsibility but his own to arrange for him to be safe. You do not have a right to "be safe". Whether or not you are safe is more a matter of the decisions that you make. For example, I would recommend that he not go to Chicago because he is unlikely to be safe there (despite having very restrictive laws regarding gun ownership). On the other hand, if he were to go to Kennesaw, Georgia, he would probably be very safe BECAUSE they require the head of every household to own a gun.
In fact, you have a moral obligation to be able to protect yourself and your family.
Is Chuck a wimp, a doormat or a bully? In any case, he certainly is off in LaLaLand.
I´m sure that Charles Blow feels very safe, his gun-carrying bodyguard sees to that...
Charles you are an idiot. You feel how you feel. You have no ´right´ to force someone else to make you feel a certain way.
Charlie my boy, you do have a right to not own a gun and in fact you have (somewhat) of a right to feel safe, but I can assure that you are NOT AS SAFE as those who do own a gun. Now if that works for you it certainly works for me. I think all those opposed to guns should have signs in fron of their homes saying that that home is a gun free zone!Remember the police are only minutes away when only seconds count.
Stabbings are way up in merry ol England where they banned guns. The criminals also sue their victims if the victims try to defend themselves and the state backs up the criminal.Since we know the democrat party is a criminal organization they want what England has.
Sigh. Nobody has a right to any kind of guaranteed outcome in life. Heck, the Left won´t even let us guarantee every person conceived the right to be safe from being killed in the womb by their own mother, and Blow wants the right to ´feel safe´ without owning any kind of self defense? Awww, isn´t that cute...
Charles: Try being informed instead of just opinionated.Feel Safe - I´d suggest Charles needs to move to a Gun Free area of Chicago. He is free to FEEL anything he wants, but he isn´t free to tell me how I feel.Read John Lott´s - More Guns, Less CrimeYou cannot argue or negotiate with people who are intellectually dishonest
There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution giving anyone the right to "feel safe".
refresh my memory. which enumerated right is that?
It´s a nice thought but it´s just not reality.
The Declaration of Independence says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Keeping the first two requires a knowledge of firearms...the third is up to you; you have a right to the pursuit, not the happiness/safety itself. That´s my judicial ruling for the day.
Blow: "I have a right to not own a gun and still feel safe in this society."If feeling safe could in any possible way actually make you safe, why would you choose to feel any other way?
This is the most succinct and revealing example of the way liberals think that I have ever seen. It deserves to be memorialized in bronze. It would make a good epitaph.
Sorry for the 2nd post but I am sitting in a middle school that is currently getting new security measures and equipment. I would like our staff to have more protection than a stapler if someone happens to get into our building with a gun. Just imagine if a few people were armed in that school instead of just sitting there waiting to be picked off like turkeys at a shoot.
Blow does "blow hard"
I wouldn´t feel safe if the government was the only ones allowed to own guns.
I´d like to see Charles Blow argue with some urban gang bangers about his "right" to feel safe without a gun. In fact, I´d like for him to be dropped off in South Chicago about midnight Friday and then he can pontificate about his rights and see how that works out.
I don´t know about Charles, but for myself, I DO feel safer knowing that those around me are armed. If I can´t take out the next nut-job, one of my neighbors will.
Sorry Charles, my right to self defense and to own a gun is given to me by a higher authority at birth and guaranteed by The Constitution. I just looked it up, your feelings are not mentioned anywhere in that document.
What was your address Chuck?
Just rely on the police.When seconds count, they´re only minutes away.
No, you only have a right to own or not own a gun. Whether you feel safe or not is a different issue.
You do not have a RIGHT to feel safe. What the hell kind of rationale is that?You have a right to freedom. Freedom is not a perilous-free commodity.
If you want to feel safe, Charles, just make sure you get off the streets before dark. I should say "relatively" safe because that´s no guarantee either.
"Blow" and "Hoover"? Talk about having opposing viewpoints.
Charles Blow your desire to not own a gun has nothing to do with anything other than you don´t own a gun therefore I can´t? Where the hell are the white coats?
Sure Mr. Blow, you should feel safe. But, with or without a gun, is crime going to stop? If legislation could end crime, murder would have ended millennia ago. Gun-banning legislation will not stop assaults and murders using firearms. So some people would like the protection of a handgun in addition to the police. If you prefer to not have a gun, I suggest awareness of surroundings and caution.
Charles, every right you enjoy, including freedom and the pursuit of happiness derives from the Constitution of the United States, which was established after hard fought and won wars by good people with guns. Those rights remain after many subsequent wars fought and won by good people with guns. Police are mostly good people with guns, but they are not always around when you need them. There are MANY other good people with guns, and you are safer as a result thereof. You take the guns away from the good people and you will certainly not be safer, no matter how you feel.
Charles, I´m going to type this real slowly and use small words so you can understand. Nobody and I do mean nobody is insisting that you have a gun. Your fellow travelers are however insisting that nobody should have them just because they don´t want anybody to have one. Do you see the difference here? And as other posters have stated, the Constitution does not guarantee your right to "feel" or not "feel" anything or anyway. It does most certainly guarantee the right of citizens to bear arms.
Remember a leftist is that way until they are robbed at gunpoint, then somehow they magically become conservative and get a gun.Some people are just morons and don´t know anything...we have here a couple of examples of the latter.
Yes, you have that right but your safety is ensured by good people carrying guns.I know that Mr. Blow is a liberal with little mental capacity and no understanding of how the world works but stupidity is not an excuse.Mr. Blow you are under the mistaken assumption that anyone outside your little bubble thinks you have any credibility or integrity but your hypocray is too much to pass up. No one cares what you oppinion is if you are unhappy with the country do us a favor leave (and take that idiot Piers Morgan with you) go to the EU you will enjoy the lack of rights and socialist justice you find there.Do the real world a favor go get another Kool-aid and sit quietly in corner and try and count your toes (I know its hards to count that high)
MY RIGHTS are mine at birth and derive from Nature and Nature´s God, not the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees my rights WILL NOT BE INFRINGED BY A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. It is an important distinction.
I´d like to feel safe from ever seeing "Blow" and "Anderson Cooper" in the same sentence or paragraph or any close proximity.
New human rights emerge constantly. About one a week.Is how you feel a human right Blow thinks so.As #3 said "You have no ´right" to force someone else to make you feel a certain way."
You want to feel safe, Charlie? Stay out of "certain areas of" Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and DC after dark.
Charlie doesn´t want to own a gun.And doesn´t really want other citizens to own guns.But watch him squawk if it became illegal for people like him, or employers like his, to have access to armed security.

Brent crude oil hit an eleven week high after lawmakers -- -- the fiscal cliff so.
What prices why why -- prices at the -- going down when oil prices are going up joining us now.
Richard -- -- he is and US consulting co president Richard good to see you -- -- he's got okay answer the question it's.
It's -- -- -- but we see your -- continue to go up today significantly and gas prices coming down.
-- gasoline stockpiles have been going up -- month we've were as low as about 210 million now we're about 223 so in the last three or four weeks stockpiles have grown very quickly why is that well I think we're getting more throughput through the refiners right now there was a sort of -- we switch over for winter gasoline things is such so.
I think that back up is sort of cleared its way through so stockpiles are growing.
Now as a result of that.
He was seeing prices come down a bit but more importantly usage is coming down we've seen last month November my -- last month is now two months ago but the last statistics we saw.
Gasoline usage was the lowest it's been since the year 2000.
Only eight point five million barrels per day were consumed so we're seeing stock now starting to grow.
And we're seeing consumption driving so you think the price may be pressured down to below three dollars a gallon yes he I think you know.
I see things slightly differently than some your previous guess we think the price of oil's gonna slide in the first half year.
-- yes we dodged the bullet on -- the fiscal cliff but we don't have an oncoming train which is the debt ceiling so.
With that -- we've got increased taxes we've got some real headwinds in the economy new taxes coming in payroll tax now gonna come back the expiration the holiday.
Put that altogether -- you think the economy's gonna have some significant headwinds.
That's gonna slow things down.
A lot of unresolved issue -- and in Europe so supply is plentiful demand is slack with that we think will -- despite the only two things that are supporting price today.
By the Fed which hasn't really aggressive easing policy.
And geopolitical tensions we still have some real issues and in Italy -- freighter now folks.
Just so that you don't think he's just as speaking his mind based on nothing does this guy.
Is paid a lot of money by companies all over the world to consult with them to give them an idea -- how much they're gonna be paid for how much they're gonna pay for gasoline.
In the future I'm wondering if companies like airlines and and FedEx all the transport companies are going to benefit tremendously their stock might benefit from this in 2013 -- certainly look that the people who are really heavy fuel users the airlines -- you said you know transportation companies delivery companies they're certainly gonna benefit they've certainly hedged a portion of their consumption going forward out.
So they -- benefit completely from this but they will take some benefit from it.
Really our clients are very focused on the natural gas markets.
Don't purchase all of your needs going out for the next six months take advantage of some of this decline we want to be.
Partially -- but not completely -- so we can sort of get some of this pullback in the market as occurred we have heard a lot of optimism here about natural gas for good reason because we're finding that we have so much of it here in the US.
And the Chinese have a lot of it over -- consider when did they.
The price pressures from the glut of natural gas begin to impede.
On the oil producers when -- they begin to permanently.
Bring down the price of oil and thus gasoline.
Well -- you know I think right now what you're seeing is a switch over from coal to natural gas with a lot of electricity some -- generators they've been moving over because it's been much more cost effective to -- to gas what does that gets put pressure on gasoline.
I don't I don't not sure it will until we had an it domestic energy policy.
That sort of supports.
This transition -- that the PT -- PO plans -- -- the Pickens Plan.
Talks about the transition.
You know heavy trucks and you know eighteen wheelers over to natural gas or liquefied natural gas.
It's a great idea because those trucks one possibly they're they're really high usage their big you know wrote -- no road kill hogs.
But no one's gonna do that in a large way until the infrastructure to support that.
Why would you convert your trucking fleet if you can't steal it up but there are some questions about there's so much money being reported a natural gas right now when research if they found a way of making liquefied natural gas.
Much easier to make much cheaper to make and therefore gave the natural gas company's US -- excuse or reason to export it.
Overseas wouldn't that put pressure on offshore oil and gas we've -- start issuing some licenses to export natural gas have that in the real question will be.
It will take time to build that infrastructure right now we've been geared.
To really takes in energy not really push it out.
So as a result of that it will take us a year to to build the the terminals the the Soviet the ability to export into the into the global market bottom line know that the cheapest gas will be at the pump in 2013 look I think we'll breached three in the first half of the year in May not be long lived.
But then most talked -- ninety's to 89 outlook hopefully and that remains I'd like to since Richard salt -- -- -- US consulting culprits are great to see again banks -- -- -- much less --

What a ridiculous dhimmi apologist. Get someone with a more sceptical view on. Try Robert Spencer or Douglas Murray.
