William Kristol is a key public figure in U.S. neoconservatism, appearing frequently as a political pundit on news networks, working as editor of the Weekly Standard—the flagship neoconservative print publication—and advising a host of pressure groups aimed at promoting a hawkish, "pro-Israel" U.S. foreign policy. He is the son of the late Irving Kristol, considered to be one of the earliest neoconservatives, and Gertrude Himmelfarb, a conservative scholar known for her work on Victorian-era social mores.
From his various media and pressure group perches, Kristol has helped shape the public conversation on a host of foreign and domestic issues, promoting hawkish political candidates, launching advertising blitzes, and prodding the Republican Party to embrace a militaristic foreign policy agenda. "For a generation, stretching back to the 1980s," reported Politico in mid-2012, "Kristol has used his influence to goad Republicans to be bolder and more ambitious—and riskier, for themselves, the Republican Party, and the nation—in their decisions. This extends beyond political calculation to policy. In 2003, Kristol was at the forefront of the lobbying effort for the Iraq war, which—however history judges it—cost far more in blood and treasure than he and his fellow neoconservatives had anticipated."[1]
Michael Goldfarb, a longtime Kristol acolyte, told Politico: "Bill is different than a George Will, who writes about what it means to be conservative, or a Charles Krauthammer, who lays out the coherent conservative criticism of the Obama administration. Bill writes about what ought to be done and then he follows it up with meetings and phone calls. … He really tries to make things happen."[2]
Key targets in Kristol's recent campaigns and writings have included Iran and Syria—where he promotes U.S.-led regime change—and the Obama administration, which he criticizes for its apparent reluctance to start new wars in the Middle East. Pointing to what he called"al Qaeda's resurgence in Iraq, our withdrawal from Afghanistan, our fecklessness with respect to Syria, Libya, and elsewhere," Kristol concluded in August 2013 that "Al Qaeda's not on the run. We are."[3]
Reprising a role he played in the run-up to the Iraq War, Kristol helped convene in mid-2013 a number of prominent neoconservatives—including Elliott Abrams, Max Boot, Eliot Cohen, Thomas Donnelly, Reuel Marc Gerecht, Robert Kagan, Joe Lieberman, and Dan Senor, among others—and a handful of liberal hawks to sign an open letter calling for the Obama administration to intervene in Syria's civil war. "At a minimum," the letter read, "the United States, along with willing allies and partners, should use standoff weapons and airpower to target the Syrian dictatorship's military units that were involved in the recent large-scale use of chemical weapons. It should also provide vetted moderate elements of Syria's armed opposition with the military support required to identify and strike regime units armed with chemical weapons."[4]
In his own writings, Kristol has claimed that the goal of any intervention should be not simply to punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons, but to topple him. "Whatever the president and the secretary of state may now say about the mission in Syria being 'limited' and 'narrow,'" Kristol wrote, "one trusts they know the mission will only be a success if Assad goes. Regime change is not only Assad's just reward. It's also the best hope for a modicum of stability in and near Syria. And it's the only message other WMD-loving dictators will understand."[5]
Kristol has also maintained a steady drumbeat in favor of war with Iran, despite a favorable diplomatic climate following the election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who campaigned on reaching a diplomatic accord with the West. Invoking the favored neoconservative comparison between Iran and Nazi Germany, Kristol wrote in September 2013 that "the accommodation of the Islamic Republic of Iran's quest for nuclear weapons lies ahead as surely as the accommodation of Nazi Germany's expansionist dreams. Moreover, Rouhani knows what he is doing. He was Iran's top nuclear negotiator for two critical years a decade ago and proved then his skill at duplicity in the furtherance of his regime's nuclear ambitions."[6]
Kristol concluded that in the absence of action by the Obama administration, it fell to Israel to launch a war with Iran—and christened the hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the "leader of the West" for his confrontational stance toward the Islamic Republic. "Ariel Sharon once famously said that Israel would not play the role of Czechoslovakia in the 1930s," wrote Kristol, continuing the World War II analogy. "Nor will it play the role of Poland. Despite imprecations from the Obama administration, Israel will act. One prays it will not be too late. It is a strange course of events, heavy with historical irony, that has made the prime minister of Israel for now the leader of the West. But irony is better than tragedy."[7]
Kristol has also remained a vocal commentator on a variety of Republican concerns. He has spoken out against comprehensive immigration reform,[8] called Obamacare worse than Watergate,[9] dismissed rising reports of sexual assault in the U.S. military as a "pseudo-crisis,"[10] and defended the broadly unpopular GOP shutdown of the federal government in the fall of 2013 by dismissively suggesting that "no one no one is going to starve" and that it's "not the end of the world."[11]
Pressure Groups
A key tool used by Kristol in advancing his agenda are the numerous advocacy groups he has created and supported during the last two decades, most of which have been dedicated to promoting militarist, "pro-Israel" U.S. foreign policies. Among the groups are the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which Kristol cofounded with another neocon scion, Robert Kagan; the Liz Cheney-led Keep America Safe; the Foreign Policy Initiative; the Institute for the Study of War; and the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq.
Kristol has most recently been associated with the founding of the Emergency Committee for Israel, a Washington-based advocacy group established in mid-2010 that claims "to provide citizens with the facts they need to be sure that their public officials are supporting a strong U.S.-Israel relationship." Alongside Kristol, ECI board members include Rachel Abrams, the wife of Iran-Contra veteran Elliott Abrams, and Gary Bauer, a well-known Christian Zionist who leads the lobby groups American Values and Keep Israel Safe and serves on the executive board of John Hagee's Christians United for Israel. Noah Pollack, a contributor to Commentary and former assistant editor at the Jerusalem-based Shalem Center, served as the group's executive director.[12]
Perhaps Kristol's signature endeavor was the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), established in the late 1990s by a passel of prominent neoconservatives and hardline nationalists promoting a "Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity." During the lead-up to the Iraq War, PNAC was one of several so-called letterhead groups led by neoconservatives—others included the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, for which Kristol served on the advisory board, and Americans for Victory over Terrorism—that helped promote public and official acceptance of an aggressive "war on terror" aimed at reshaping the Middle East.
In early 2009, he and Robert Kagan cofounded the Foreign Policy Initiative, which many observers regarded as a more anodyne-sounding successor to PNAC. Like PNAC, the group is devoted to maintaining a U.S. military engagement abroad. And also like PNAC, hardliners are well represented in the group. Staff members have included Ellen Bork, a former PNAC director who was tapped to serve as FPI's director of the democracy and human rights program, and Dan Senor, who is an FPI cofounder.
In late 2009, Kristol teamed up with Liz Cheney, the daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, to create Keep America Safe, which operates like a standard neoconservative pressure group — working to build public support for militarist foreign policies and attacking "liberals" through TV adds and issue campaigns. Initial board members and staff included Cheney, Kristol, Michael Goldfarb, and Debra Burlingame, the widow of one of the pilots who died on 9/11.
Kristol has also served on the board of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advocates long-term U.S. military intervention abroad, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Liz Cheney has also served on the board, as well as Jack Keane, a retired four-star general who coauthored "Choosing Victory"—a 2007 study that served as a blueprint for the so-called surge in Iraq—and Dennis Showalter, a highly regarded military historian. ISW's founding president is Kimberly Kagan, a military historian who is married to Frederick Kagan.[13]
2012 Election and Aftermath
Kristol enthusiastically encouraged Mitt Romney to tap Paul Ryan as his 2012 vice presidential running mate—reprising a role he played in 2008, when Kristol's advocacy helped put the previously little-known Sarah Palin on John McCain's 2008 ticket. "While Kristol's support may not have directly influenced Romney's decision," reported Politico, "his support for Ryan intensified the buzz surrounding the 42-year-old congressman and brought excitement over the possibility a Romney-Ryan ticket to a fever-pitch."[14]
Kristol's efforts to influence the course of Republican Party politics, however, came under scrutiny in the wake of Romney's loss in the 2012 election. Wrote Jacob Heilbrunn at the National Interest, "A good case could be made that the author, in many ways, of the GOP's problems is William Kristol. Kristol saddled John McCain with Sarah Palin. He's the biggest backer of Paul Ryan, a Washington creature, who is being talked up as a potential presidential candidate in 2016—when was the last time a Congressman won the presidency? And Kristol, of course, has dominated foreign policy debate in the GOP by ceaselessly purveying neocon malarkey about American militarism abroad, but Romney's bluster about a new American century went nowhere. Had Romney shunned the neocon bluster and campaigned as a Massachusetts moderate, he would have posed a much greater threat to Obama than he did."[15]
For his part, Kristol appeared to search for common ground with Democrats in the wake of the election, going so far as to ridicule a key Republican talking point on taxes. A few days after the election, he said on Fox News: "It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires." As one commentator noted, however: "The truth is that neocons have never been economic conservatives. Instead, they have favored lavishing money on military programs and financing warfare to implement their imperial strategy of imposing political change by force. The budget has never been a high priority."[16]
According to a January 2013 analysis in Politico, Kristol's overture on taxes was one component of a larger strategy aimed at resetting the direction of the party in the wake of Romney's defeat in the 2012 election. Amid a low-level House GOP revolt against Speaker John Boehner and a high-profile meltdown in the Tea Party group FreedomWorks, Politico noted that "Kristol was among the first conservatives to break with GOP orthodoxy on raising taxes, and he and his allies advanced their hawkish neoconservative foreign policy by pushing the controversy that sank Susan Rice's potential nomination for secretary of state."[17]
Shortly after the Susan Rice fight, Kristol helped lead neoconservative opposition to the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE)—a foreign policy realist whom Kristol has characterized as "very weak on Iran" and "a bitter opponent of Israel"—to replace Leon Panetta at the helm of the Pentagon. As buzz about Hagel grew, Kristol's advocacy outfit the Emergency Committee for Israel launched a "substantial" ad blitz against his candidacy, accusing the Vietnam veteran of holding anti-Semitic views and being inadequately committed to regime change in Iran.[18] Noting Kristol's role in the effort, Slate political blogger Dave Weigel described the entire "anti-Hagelverse" as "a relatively small group of D.C. conservatives and hawks … connected to Bill Kristol."[19]
Politico suggested that the Hagel fight portended a more ambitious effort by Kristol and his allies to influence the post-Romney Republican Party, including launching a potential foray into domestic issues. "Kristol and his allies," wrote Kenneth Vogel, "have been talking about starting a 'reformist' organization to recraft Republican fiscal policies and champion a rising generation of Republicans, such as Kristol favorites Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. The hypothetical group, modeled on the defunct Democratic Leadership Council, would join an expanding network of media platforms and nimble nonprofits for Kristol and mark an ambitious expansion into domestic policy."[20]
At the New York Times
Kristol worked briefly as an op-ed writer for the New York Times. Added to the Times's roster of columnists in December 2007,[21] Kristol penned his final column in late January 2009, concluding a turbulent tenure. His final column began, "All good things must come to an end. Jan. 20, 2009, marked the end of a conservative era." It concluded, "[T]here will be trying times during [Barack] Obama's presidency, and liberty will need staunch defenders. Can Obama reshape liberalism to be, as it was under F.D.R., a fighting faith, unapologetically patriotic and strong in the defense of liberty? That would be a service to our country." A note at the end of the column unceremoniously stated, "This is William Kristol's last column."[22]
The decision by theTimes to hire Kristol sparked a wave of consternation from liberal readers of the newspaper. As media reporter Charles Kaiser wrote: "Many Times readers consider Kristol a third-rate neocon apparatchik, a stark symbol of the steep decline of the Washington culture—and arguably the most consistently mean-spirited and wrong-headed pundit of our time…. Hence the outrage of that diminishing number of people who still think of the Times as the indispensable engine of American journalism." Kaiser also highlighted the relationship between Kristol and Andrew Rosenthal, the Times editorial page editor: "Kristols and Rosenthals go back a long way together. Bill's father, Irving, and Andy's father, Abe—both charter neocons—were good friends, and Irving Kristol was a proud member of the 'Rosenthal for President' lunch club. ... And when Andy Rosenthal covered the Bush I White House with Maureen Dowd, Bill Kristol—then vice president Dan Quayle's chief of staff—was a source for both Times reporters."[23]
During Kristol's stint with the Times, his columns were heavily scrutinized by media observers and bloggers, who often found fault with his work. Kristol's sometimes sloppy writing didn't help his cause. His very first column, for example, misattributed a comment made by conservative talk show host Michael Medved to ultra-conservative blogger Michelle Malkin.[24]
Political Trajectory
Kristol began his political activities early. At the age of 12, he served as an aide on the City Council election campaign of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the future Democratic U.S. senator from New York whose writings on social issues were frequently published by William's father Irving, but whose relationship to neoconservatism soured by the late 1980s. (In his 1993 book Pandaemonium: Ethnicity in International Politics, Moynihan wrote of the neocons: "They wished for a military posture approaching mobilization; they would create or invent whatever crises were required to bring this about.")[25]
In 1968, while he was in high school, Kristol volunteered to work on the campaign of Hubert Humphrey. Four years later, in 1972, Kristol helped organize the Harvard-Radcliffe Students for Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson, the hawkish Democrat from Washington and fierce supporter of Israel around whom many neoconservatives organized in the early 1970s in a last-ditch effort to turn the Democratic Party away from the more dovish politics of the McGovernites. When Jackson's presidential ambitions were spurned by Democrats, the neoconservative shift to the Republican Party began in earnest.[26]
During Ronald Reagan's presidency, Kristol worked on the staff of then-Secretary of Education William Bennett, a firebrand social conservative who went on to found a number of rightist letterhead groups, including Empower America and Americans for Victory over Terrorism. Kristol also ran the unsuccessful 1988 Maryland Senate campaign of Alan Keyes, a conservative Republican and former graduate school roommate of Kristol who was part of a team of rightists hired by Paul Wolfowitz to serve in the first Reagan administration's State Department policy planning staff. During the administration of George H.W. Bush, Kristol was chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, earning the moniker "Quayle's Brain."
By the 1990s, Kristol had become a staple in the Washington political scene. With support from Rupert Murdoch, he cofounded with John Podhoretz the Weekly Standard, which quickly became the core publication of so-called second-generation neoconservatives, displacing the role of the Norman Podhoretz-run Commentary. Kristol has explained his magazine thusly: "Some not insignificant number of people always assume that the Weekly Standard isn't really published in English, but in code—that its contents are designed to advance a surreptitious political agenda. The Weekly Standard is a conservative magazine, of course. We make no bones about it. And ours tends toward a particular kind of conservatism; our pages are its home, we like to think."[27]
Prior to co-founding PNAC in 1997, Kristol was involved in forming the Project for the Republican Future, an organization that was credited with helping shape the strategy produced the 1994 Republican congressional election victory. Such was his stature by 2000 that the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz described Kristol as having "become part of Washington's circulatory system, this half-pol, half-pundit, full-throated advocate with the nice-guy image" who was "wired to nearly all the Republican presidential candidates."[28]
Kristol's many affiliations illustrate just how tightly woven he is in the fabric of neoconservatism. Alongside the numerous groups he has founded, he is a member of the board of advisors for Clifford May's Foundation for Defense of Democracies, sits on the Policy Advisory Board of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and serves as a trustee for the Manhattan Institute, among other projects. Kristol is also a frequent conservative pundit on Fox News and wrote regularly for Time magazine until he began his stint with the New York Times.
Kristol is coauthor, with the New Republic 's Lawrence Kaplan, of the 2003 book The War over Iraq: Saddam's Tyranny and America's Mission, in which the authors state that the "wisdom of regime change, the merits of promoting democracy, the desirability of American power and influence—these issues extend well beyond Iraq. So we dare to hope that this work will prove useful even after Baghdad is finally free."[29] He also co-edited, with American Enterprise Institute president Christopher DeMuth in 2000, a volume of neocon love letters to his father, The Neoconservative Imagination: Essays in Honor of Irving Kristol.
In 1997, Kristol coauthored, with Robert Kagan, a notable Foreign Affairs article titled "Toward a Neo-Reaganite Foreign Policy," which served as a precursor to the formation of PNAC and laid out the ideas for a new neoconservative agenda for the post-Cold War period. What should the U.S. role be, they asked rhetorically? Their answer: A "Benevolent global hegemony. Having defeated the 'evil empire,' the United States enjoys strategic and ideological predominance. The first objective of U.S. foreign policy should be to preserve and enhance that predominance by strengthening America's security, supporting its friends, advancing its interests, and standing up for its principles around the world." As for potential enemies, the article suggested that the United States would need to devise an "overall strategy for containing, influencing, and ultimately seeking to change the regime in Beijing."[30]
In the meantime, however, they argued that the main enemy was internal. Invoking past efforts to rally the U.S. populace to accept a leading U.S. role in international affairs, the authors argued that "it is time once again to challenge an indifferent America and a confused American conservatism." They added: "In a world in which peace and American security depend on American power and the will to use it, the main threat the United States faces now and in the future is its own weakness. American hegemony is the only reliable defense against a breakdown of peace and international order. The appropriate goal of American foreign policy, therefore, is to preserve that hegemony as far into the future as possible."[31]

Quick Facts
There are no 2013 Kia Sportage reviews. However, the following might be helpful:
Short Take
The Sportage is a small SUV that's similar to its corporate cousin, the Hyundai Tucson. It is far more stylish inside and out, but that comes at the expense of visibility. Cabin appointments are basic but nicely fitted. It is powered by a 176-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that is civilized yet returns reasonably good fuel economy.

Nice looker but tired and thirsty
by Stu Clark NJ on 01/25/2013.
Trim: 2013 Kia Sportage LX FWD, Owned 1 year.
We liked the styling and the 100k powertrain warranty. The advertised mileage ratings were ok.
The car handles well and fit and finish is good.
The fuel mileage is poor. I am not a hard driver and am getting 18.5 around town and 23 highway. KIA has admitted overstating the mileage and created a program to compensate owners but it does not come near paying for the extra fuel I use.
The power is not good, My 94 Voyager minivan could run circles around this car and it got better mileage.
The cars computer always overstates the mileage by 1 or 2 mpg compared with mileage calculated at the gas pump.
Overall review:
It is the right size car for my wife and I. It looks good and seems well made. I feel it is under powered and does not get near the rated fuel mileage.

Restoring a single shard from backup with other unaffected shards requires a number of special considerations and practices. This document outlines the additional tasks you must perform when restoring a single shard.
Consider the following resources on backups in general as well as backup and restoration of sharded clusters specifically:
Always restore sharded clusters as a whole. When you restore a single shard, keep in mind that the balancer process might have moved chunks to or from this shard since the last backup. If that's the case, you must manually move those chunks, as described in this procedure.

1) What is JMS?
Java Message Service is the new standard for interclient communication. It allows J2EE application components to create, send, receive, and read messages. It enables distributed communication that is loosely coupled, reliable, and asynchronous.
2) What type messaging is provided by JMS
Both synchronous and asynchronous
3) How may messaging models do JMS provide for and what are they?
JMS provides for two messaging models, publish-and-subscribe and point-to-point queuing.
4) What are the types of messaging?
There are two kinds of Messaging:
- Synchronous messaging involves a client that waits for the server to respond to a message.
- Asynchronous messaging involves a client that does not wait for a message from the server. An event is used to trigger a message from a server.
5) What is publish/subscribe messaging?
With publish/subscribe message passing the sending application/client establishes a named topic in the JMS broker/server and publishes messages to this queue. The receiving clients register (specifically, subscribe) via the broker to messages by topic; every subscriber to a topic receives each message published to that topic. There is a one-to-many relationship between the publishing client and the subscribing clients.
6) Why doesn't the JMS API provide end-to-end synchronous message delivery and notification of delivery?
Some messaging systems provide synchronous delivery to destinations as a mechanism for implementing reliable applications. Some systems provide clients with various forms of delivery notification so that the clients can detect dropped or ignored messages. This is not the model defined by the JMS API. JMS API messaging provides guaranteed delivery via the once-and-only-once delivery semantics of PERSISTENT messages. In addition, message consumers can insure reliable processing of messages by using either CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE mode or transacted sessions. This achieves reliable delivery with minimum synchronization and is the enterprise messaging model most vendors and developers prefer. The JMS API does not define a schema of systems messages (such as delivery notifications). If an application requires acknowledgment of message receipt, it can define an application-level acknowledgment message.
7) What are the core JMS-related objects required for each JMS-enabled application?
Each JMS-enabled client must establish the following:
- A connection object provided by the JMS server (the message broker)
- Within a connection, one or more sessions, which provide a context for message sending and receiving
- Within a session, either a queue or topic object representing the destination (the message staging area) within the message broker
- Within a session, the appropriate sender or publisher or receiver or subscriber object (depending on whether the client is a message producer or consumer and uses a point-to-point or publish/subscribe strategy, respectively). Within a session, a message object (to send or to receive)
8) What is the Role of the JMS Provider?
The JMS provider handles security of the messages, data conversion and the client triggering. The JMS provider specifies the level of encryption and the security level of the message, the best data type for the non-JMS client.
9) How does a typical client perform the communication?
- Use JNDI to locate administrative objects.
- Locate a single ConnectionFactory object.
- Locate one or more Destination objects.
- Use the ConnectionFactory to create a JMS Connection.
- Use the Connection to create one or more Session(s).
- Use a Session and the Destinations to create the MessageProducers and MessageConsumers needed.
- Perform your communication.
10) Give an example of using the point-to-point model.
The point-to-point model is used when the information is specific to a single client. For example, a client can send a message for a print out, and the server can send information back to this client after completion of the print job.

Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing BlogGreat read everyone....
Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing BlogIt's hard to believe it's Saturday all ready! The week has been a blur of beer, good people, West Ham, a great hotel, dancing at clubs until the wee hours in the morning, more beer, taxi's, and some tours of the local sites. There will be some interesting and incriminating photos floating around soon enough when we all return on Monday. There were some great shots taken at the Wall today too, and quite a few people from our group brought up some various West Ham flags as well.
Bobby, sorry I did not get a chance to say good-bye last night but after a match day of lagers (including one had at a very James Bond style place at the stadium--out front it said Stadium Coffee, when you went in they sold sausages and some drinks, but when you went near the toilets and pushed a button on a faux brick paneled wall, it slid open to reveal a bar with taps, bottles, tables, and the whole mix!) and all of that free booze at the club last night I was a few minutes away from falling asleep on one of those couches. Give my best to your friend as well, nice fella! Thanks again to Romford for organizing, UG for being a mistress of fun and photography for us all, Fionn and BSB1 for all the laughs and pints, BBB for his handy translation skills, and to everyone else I've been lucky enough to hang out with and meet here. Since our football has been a bit, umm, uninspiring, it's been the people and the places that have made this a great trip!
Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing Blog
Didn't know we were playing them
Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing BlogHats off to all of you who made the trip. Fair do and all that.
No way my missus would let me swan off over there on a week's jolly up!! Lucky kuntz.
Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing BlogI'm getting old
Must say a big thank you to Mr Gale and Mr Cottee plus all the backroom staff who made Friday night special...and of course Greg and Laura for sorting it. It was a lovely evening. Did the Great Wall yesterday...lovely although the highlight was the tobogan down the mountain. Mad ! Today is Forbidden City and Summer Palace...and poxy packing. Right now its 07.05 here and the place is funnily quiet for once. Sorry i didn't see more of Bobby and partner and hope you got home safe...and Also Andy and Julie who go home today. I've got up early doors to see you off but you mut have left at silly o clock. Off to breakfast now
Re: Asia trophy ..Beijing Blog
Bobby and partner ( cheeky b*stard ) have just arrived safe & sound in lovely samui... once again Romford ,lovely trip mate, thanks for all your effort ....hopefully see you next year and guess who was on our flight checking in the same time ,only harry and he's Spurs...no comment

Mad Men star Ben Feldman married his girlfriend Michelle Mulitz on Saturday, People reports.
Even the most die-hard Mindy Kaling fans had to acknowledge that The Mindy Project's first season had some flaws. And unfortunately, right when the show seemed to be finding its groove, the season was over. Now, The Mindy Project is back for Season 2 and poised to be the great comedy we always wanted it to be.
The first season of the The Mindy Project suffered from a severe lack of focus. Torn between being a workplace comedy and a meta rom-com, The Mindy Project was a little all over the place. Certain episodes featured so many disjointed story lines that it felt stitched together like a comedy Frankenstein. But even amid the confusion, the show always had enough great jokes — delivered by some of Hollywood's hottest actors — to keep me watching.

Topic Review (Newest First) |
Ltleo |
there is much to learn with dogs especially pups, its not just training a dog, it is more to do with training the person who is on the other end of the leash IMO. The main goal is to be consistent. I would suggest to have the trainer work with you and have the person you leave your dog with join you. Also dogs have the ability to pick up on the slightest stress of whom ever they are paired with and will act as so. Take when you train a dog to work protection or Shulz, what do you do? You tie the dog to a pole or a handler to hold back. This auto makes the dog more agressive to go after what is in front out of their reach. So when ever introducing someone to a dog on a leash you should always have the dog in a sit, with a command to let the dog know you are in command then let the person come in or introduce. The fist commands IMO that all should start with is Sit/down and come/here unconditional. Then move on, with out this foundation you are building on sand and not a sound foundation IMO. I would not stress to much about this, or blame yourself. With out being there you will never know what set the dog off, and missed a chance to see the look or stance of your dog when he is stressed. It does not matter what so ome looks like or how tall, if you have your dog, they must listen to your commands as their leader. This is what you should speak about with your trainer. Start off on the small commands, with food, then play drive. Repeat, repeat, and repeat. Don't stress, stay calm in all situations, that is the hardes part. Train small and in short sports, no longer then 15 mins at a time. Stay consistency, have all who will be with the dog work the dog, to build a mutual respect. Never miss a chance to reinforce, every time doorbell rings, feeding, and all. Have fun. Hope I did not go on and on or over board. Just trying to help. |
onyx'girl |
I would be very cautious where you leave her. She is not protecting, but in fear...as you know. I hope the trainer you have knows how to work her through this, set her up for success and build her confidence(corrections should be very minimal) "He's very protective" | Paws Abilities |
VTGirlT |
I wasn't there so i cant say for sure. But what i know of her and the situation it was a fear bite. She is young, i dont know a whole lot about her previous home or what her parents were like. More than likely bad breeding (byb) The lady that i got her from did disclose after i got her that her mom was was skittish but the dad was out going. So this could be genetics. I got her when she was about 4.5 months old. She was very skittish of me at first and barked and barked at me, just very fearful but not aggressive to me, although with her behavior i had the previous owner pick her up and put her in the car, because i did not trust her at that time. I am not sure if she was both trying to protect the family and herself and being fearful? |
Sunflowers |
Was this a gatoring, or a fear bite? She is quite young to be attacking people |
VTGirlT |
Thank you for your support Alley, I am glad that your dog has a happy story and is awesome! Quote:
My uncle is very tall, large, and has a beard.. which maybe is the most threatening person she has ever seen, so like you said it could be that particular circumstance. |
selzer |
She is not quite nine months old. I am sorry this happened, but I do not think it is time to panic yet. See what the trainer says, and ask what the plan will be for her. She is a puppy yet, and an adolescent to boot. It may have been a series of events/circumstances that caused the bite. If she is not used to be managed by others, is not used to your uncle, maybe the combination of chanes caused her to me more fearful thatn usual. |
Alley |
(((((VTGirl)))) I'm so sorry. I had a shepherd mix bite my child -- lightly --when he was four and it absolutely freaked me out. When I questioned my son further I realized that he'd been jumping over my poor dog -- length wise -- upsetting her. She never bit him again. It was a one time thing. But much earlier -- years earlier -- the same shepherd mix lightly bit my sister (who is a serious royal pain). I cannot tell you how on target my dog was to realize that my sister is not right in the head. Those were the only two times with my girl and she was an AWESOME dog. Absolutely awesome. I guess that's my way of saying that maybe to the dog it made a ton of sense. I'm really sorry though -- it's so hard to go through. Alley |
selzer | You worked a two hour shift, and you had them watch your dog? Is that a typo? | ||
VTGirlT |
She bit someone- Very sad :( I had my sister and mother watch Zelda for me while i worked a 2 hours shift at an animal hospital. When i got home, they didn't say much, i asked how she was and they said not so good. The story they gave me was this: My mom was holding zelda's leash when my uncle came in through the door (very tall, big man) what my mom said was that she bit his arm (even drew a little blood), and then he grabbed the skin on the side of her face and said "no" and she released a musky odor (probably anal glands? fearful?), and my mom pulled her away. My mom says that it was primarily her fault for not keeping her away from my uncle. I believe it is my fault for asking someone else other than me to watch her, management with her is key when it comes to her problem with strangers. The trainer is coming Tuesday.. I just feel so sad and upset. And i feel bad that Zelda wen't that far as to bite someone, i never wanted her to have to go that far. I just don't know what else to say. |

This world-class destination in Dearborn, Henry Ford's hometown, includes the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour. Henry Ford had the means and desire to collect iconic American objects and buildings, and in the 1920s, he opened the museum and village to share his treasures with the public.
The museum showcases remarkable artifacts, such as the chair in which Lincoln was sitting when he was assassinated and the bus from Montgomery, Alabama, in which Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat for a white man. Greenfield Village offers seven living history districts, including Thomas Edison's New Jersey laboratory. At the Ford Rouge Factory, visitors can learn about the Ford assembly line and watch trucks be put together at the clip of one every 60 seconds. (313) 982-6001; thehenryford.org

Following a week of blistering attacks from Democrats over Mitt Romney's personal, offshore investments, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee responded Monday and denied any wrong-doing in his finances.
Saying his foreign investments have been held by a blind trust and managed by a trustee, Romney emphasized he has no knowledge of where his money is being placed.
"I don't manage them. I don't even know where they are," Romney said in an interview on Radio Iowa.
Obama's campaign recently seized on a report in the magazine "Vanity Fair," which called Romney a "remarkable financial acrobat," with accounts and investments in several places considered tax havens for Americans - Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.
Romney countered his rival's re-election campaign, which has also been hammering the candidate to release more than the two years' worth of tax documents that Romney has already made public.
While Team Obama hasn't directly charged Romney with tax evasion, they suggest the millionaire may be hiding important details about his finances by not disclosing multiple years of returns.
Romney, however, reiterated that there is no violation of tax law.
"That trustee follows all U.S. laws. All the taxes are paid, as appropriate. All of them have been reported to the government. There's nothing hidden there," the candidate said.
Federal campaign law does not require candidates to release tax returns, but it does require candidates to file annual financial disclosure paperwork, which Romney has done in addition to the taxes he has released.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee argued Monday that his opponent was simply trying to cause a distraction.
"I understand the president's going to try to do anything he can to divert attention from the fact that his jobs record is weak and he has no plan to make things better," he said.

Saturday, 20/10/2012
Kick off 19:50 BST at Charlety Stadium, Paris
A Women's International
France - Delie 59',82'
England - Houghton 34' Jill Scott 39'
England ended 2012 with an entertaining 2-2 draw against France in Paris. The Three Lions had to weather an early onslaught from their rapidly improving opponents, and goalkeeper Karen Bardsley was kept particularly busy. But two goals in five minutes, a Steph Houghton free-kick and a Jill Scott header, saw England take a 2-0 lead into the break. France continued to press after the restart, though, and Marie Delie pounced on a weak Toni Duggan back pass to halve the deficit just before the hour. Delie also netted the equaliser eight minutes from time, lobbing the ball over substitute goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain. Both nations were using this match as their first piece of preparation for next summer's European Championship Finals and both coaches can take positives into the New Year. It was the French who started better and they took control early on. With two days worth of rain laying on the pitch, they were keen to test Bardsley's handling in the slippery conditions. Their playmaker Louisa Necib and forwards Delie and Eugénie Le Sommer all tried their luck from distance but England's goalkeeper gathered each one rather comfortably. And only for a poor touch by Delie when clear through the middle, the hosts could have taken the lead in just the 12th minute. Gaëtane Thiney then forced Bardsley to turn a decent effort around the post, again from range, as Bruno Bini's charges continued to seek an early advantage. However, France's best chance to break the deadlock came just before the half-hour mark. Delie burst down the right wing, into the area and pulled the ball back to Le Sommer, who should have produced a simple finish from just inside the six-yard box instead of attempting an impudent flick which got caught under her feet. Alex Scott cleared Le Sommer's next effort off the line and Delie should have converted the loose ball but somehow managed to poke the ball wide from even closer in. And England soon made France pay for their wastefulness. The French 'keeper, Sarah Bouhaddi, was penalised for handling the ball outside the box and when the free-kick was rolled to her, Houghton smashed the ball into the roof of the net to put the Three Lions ahead. Things got even better for Hope Powell's side just five minutes later, as Jill Scott met Rachel Yankey's delicious left-wing cross and planted a header into the back of the net for a quick-fire second that stunned the French. Anita Asante and Duggan, on for Yankey, had half-chances to extend England's lead shortly after the restart but it took more smart defending from the Three Lions' right-back to keep the clean sheet intact. Birthday girl Sophie Bradley mistimed her jump inside the box and could only watch as the ball bounced over her head. Delie outmuscled Houghton but Alex Scott was quick on the cover to block the shot behind for a corner. France eventually did get their goal and it came from the lively Delie in the 59th minute. Duggan tried to play a pass back to Bardsley, but the French forward intercepted and knocked the ball underneath the 'keeper and into the empty net. 'Les Bleus' would have grabbed an equaliser soon after, had Le Sommer's fierce shot not been straight at Bardsley as England failed to clear their lines. Duggan, who looked bright going forward, appeared keen to make amends for her earlier mistake and she provided her side with some respite with a couple of decent long range efforts, but they were both just off target. Bardsley had been impressive all game and her last action before being replaced by Chamberlain was to deny the French yet again, as she turned Necib's low drive round her left-hand upright. A French equaliser had looked likely as the game wore on and it duly arrived in the 82nd minute. There was a moment of hesitation between Casey Stoney and substitute Laura Bassett, on for Bradley, and Delie nipped in to lift the ball over Chamberlain to salvage a deserved draw. England and France now await the Euro 2013 draw which takes place in Sweden on Friday 9 November.

Last week's binders are this week's horses and bayonets.
President Barack Obama's sarcastic knock of Governor Mitt Romney's views on the military budget — saying the military has fewer "horses and bayonets" and Navy ships than it previously did because of changing needs — was the most tweeted-about topic of last night's third and final presidential debate.
The debate overall generated 6.5 million tweets, according to official Twitter statistics — the lowest number of all three debates. The "horses and bayonets" comment alone sparked more than 105,000 tweets and also immediately spawned a parody account, @horsesbayonette.
Here's a breakdown of the 20 best celebrity tweets on the debate:

While the United States has perhaps the most advanced health care system in the world, it also has the second-highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation, and many have begun to question conventional wisdom regarding the way obstetricians deal with childbirth. While midwives preside over the majority of births in Europe and Japan, fewer than ten percent of American mothers employ them, despite their proven record of care and success. How do American doctors make their choices regarding the way their patients give birth, and who is intended to benefit? Director Abby Epstein ("Until the Violence Stops") and Daytime Emmy Award-nominee Ricki Lake (TV's "The Ricki Lake Show," "Hairspray") offer a probing look at childbirth in America in the documentary The Business of Being Born, which explores the history of obstetrics, the history and function of midwives, and how many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good.

Flying a plane might sound difficult for those who don't fly, let alone piloting one at high speed upside down, but for Lt. Col. John Klatt it seems to be, well, easy.
Flipping his blue, two-seater stunt plane over on its top, at 1,500 feet above the ground Thursday in Fort Wayne, he waves to the chase plane beside him. A white plume of smoke billows out behind him. Flipping back over he proceeds to execute a series of barrel rolls. Pulling out of it he waves. His passenger, a young National Guard recruiter, has lost his broad grin and now has a strained smile on his face.
Klatt, who will perform in this weekend's Fort Wayne Air Show at the 122nd Air National Guard Base, started flying when he was 18 and has made it his profession.
A pilot with the Minnesota Air National Guard, the Air National Guard sponsors him, but he runs his air shows as a private citizen.
Traveling across the United States, he and his team of eight do around 18 shows a year. Klatt is also a pilot for United Airlines, but currently is on leave from his job to pursue his precision power aerobatics.
With 25 years of experience, Klatt has flown aircraft ranging from a C-130 Hercules transport to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, he radiates an air of quiet confidence as he talks about flying his Extra 300L aerobatic aircraft. Hours of planning go into the choreography of his 12-minute flight shows. Flying below 1,500 feet, which is the FAA regulation level, Klatt will be maneuvering his monoplane through a series of aerobatics at speeds ranging from 220 mph on the dives to 180 mph on the level.
"I really like doing these shows to encourage young people to learn to fly and because it's good, inexpensive family fun, and these days that's hard to find," Klatt said.
When the team isn't on the road performing they live in the Twin Cities area.

Spent 4000 pounds in their belfast store, bought alot of stuff, they were very helpful and the prices were good. A small internal crack developed in the screen of my 46 inch tv after 5 months. They sent it to panasonic who said it wasnt a manufacturing fault. A Richer sounds engineer looked at photos of the crack rang me and said I must have hit it with something. I told hold him the crack was internal and that it was obviously not from something hitting it. There are several cases of this sort of screen cracking online. I offered to go 50/50 on getting an independant engineer to evaulaute they refused and Ignored all my calls and letters thereafter. I was forced to pay for an independant assessment myself, I then was forced to go to small claims court to which they didnt turn up. A judgement was made against them by the judge for the full amount and now after the period for reasonable payment expires tomorrow I am forced to go and get the judgement enforced and the courts will recover the money on my behalf from them. So moral of the story they are good sales people but if anything goes wrong its a different story. Shame I have to go to this extreme after spending alot of money in their store.

Law & Order: DWB
One of the most infamous hate crimes of the 1990s was the source for this episode. Even jaded New York detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) are shocked by the brutal murder of a black man who was dragged behind a car to his death. Prosecuting the crime proves to be a difficult task, thanks to the reluctance of the only known eyewitness and the evasive behavior of certain NYPD cops. The outcome of the case is as startling as the crime was senselessly vicious. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: Bitter Fruit
The sixth-season opener of Law & Order finds detective Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) teamed with a new partner, Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt). For their first assignment together, Briscoe and Curtis try to piece together the last hours in the life of a murdered girl, using an ATM machine film to determine what happened to the victim between her classroom and her music lesson. The results of the investigation lead to a revenge killing -- which many observers regard as "justice." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order: White Rabbit
This episode was clearly inspired by the 1993 arrest of Vietnam-era activist Katherine Anne Power. While pursuing a routine robbery investigation, detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Logan (Chris Noth) follow the trail of clues to 1960s war protester Susan Forrest (Mary-Joan Negro), who has been in hiding ever since participating in a 1971 burglary in which a policeman was killed. As the dead man's widow (Marilyn Chris) presses for full retribution, Forrest enlists the services of none other than "Chicago Seven" defense lawyer William M. Kunstler -- played by Kunstler himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The People Next Door
Parents worry about their daughter when she freaks out on drugs and is hospitalized. Arthur (Eli Wallach) and Gerri (Julie Harris) face the reality when Maxie (Deborah Winters) must remain at the facility or return home. Della (Rue McClanahan) is Arthur's straight shooting secretary and mistress who offers an objective opinion of the situation. Dr. Salazar (Nehemiah Persoff) is the concerned physician treating Maxie. David (Hal Holbrook) and Tina (Cloris Leachman) are the neighbors whose son Sandy (Don Scardino) turns out to be a juvenile drug dealer. The story was taken from an award winning 1968 television special but fails to live up to the promise of the initial production. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Love with the Proper Stranger
Taken for granted by her Italian family, New Yorker Natalie Wood seeks solace in the arms of irresponsible jazz musician Steve McQueen. She becomes pregnant, but doesn't expect McQueen to marry her; all she wants is enough money to pay for an illegal abortion (this is ten years before Roe v. Wade). Not surprisingly, McQueen is refused a loan by his girl friend Edie Adams; meanwhile, Wood is being pressured by her family to marry gormless Tom Bosley. As the abortion appointment approaches, McQueen begins to feel guilty, but still won't propose. Bosley finds out that Wood is pregnant, and is willing to make an honest woman of her. Wood finally makes up her mind what she's going to do and whom she's going to choose when she walks into the seedy abortion clinic. Though very dated, Love With the Proper Stranger is still dramatically viable, thanks to the on-screen rapport between Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen, and to the large and talented New York-based supporting cast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Character actor Steve Buscemi made his debut as a writer and director with this seriocomic tale of a guy who is going through something but doesn't know just what it is. Tommy is a 31-year-old auto mechanic who lost his last job after "borrowing" 1,500 dollars from the cash register and heading to Atlantic City, where he wasted no time losing it all at the tables. The fact that he can't get his own car to run isn't impressing any prospective employers, so Tommy spends much of his time at the Trees Lounge, a local watering hole conveniently located downstairs from his apartment. Eventually Tommy lands some work driving an ice cream truck and becomes acquainted with his ex-girlfriend's 17-year-old niece, Debbie (Chloë Sevigny). When they half-heartedly fall into a romance, it's just one more thing for Tommy to be confused about. Buscemi draws upon a rich cast of supporting actors, including Elizabeth Bracco, Anthony LaPaglia, Carol Kane, Debi Mazar, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mimi Rogers. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler) is a lonely nurse who takes care of her invalid mother in Mobile, Alabama. Starved for affection, she places an ad in a lonely hearts column and soon receives a letter from Ray Fernandez (Tony LoBianco). He meets her and runs off with her dowry to New York City. Martha puts her mother in a nursing home and follows the handsome con artist. She agrees to pose as his sister as the two fleece lonely, unsuspecting women out of their money. Martha's jealousies of Ray's victims leads to murder. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, an elderly matron is killed and her child is drowned in a washing machine. Martha considers confessing to the police when she finally realizes Ray will never be true to her or any other woman. The story was taken from actual events, and the real-life couple were eventually executed in Sing Sing prison in 1951. The black-and-white photography adds an aura of authenticity to the documentary-style production. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

A doctor learns there's more to his profession than making money in this comedy-drama. Charlie Keegan (Robert Capelli Jr.) is a physician who has built up a lucrative practice by caring more about profits and working the loopholes of medical insurance claims than looking after the needs of his patients. While Keegan's scams allow him to live high for a while, eventually his misdeeds catch up with him, and when he's found guilty of insurance fraud, as part of his sentence he's ordered to spend six months doing volunteer work at Shady Pines, an nursing home for the elderly that has seen better days. With the help of Jill (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a pretty and compassionate nurse who works at the home, Keegan makes friends with his often eccentric patients and learns to deal with the other members of the staff and their many problems. In time, Keegan finds himself looking at the Shady Pines residents as people rather than clients, and gains a new perspective on himself and his career; he also finds himself falling in love with the idealistic Jill. Also starring Pat Hingle, Betsy Palmer, Paige Turco, and Artie Lange, Waltzing Anna was the first directorial effort from the team of Doug Bollinger and Bx Giongrete. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Rhinoceros to top of Queue
Rhinoceros is another American Film Theatre movie recording a notable stage production. The incomparable duo of Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, whose earlier work in The Producers is now a comedy classic, join forces here to make the surreal comedy of Eugene Ionesco's play come to life. Ionesco was a leading exponent of "theater of the absurd," and realism was the last thing on his mind. For that reason, many people find this comedy rough going. Stanley (Gene Wilder) seems to be the only one who notices that everyone in the world is turning into Rhinoceroses--
. First, they are overcome by a certain indifference to human values, and then POOF! they are on all fours, knocking over buildings and eating vegetation. He confides his concerns to his friend John (Zero Mostel), but even he swiftly begins to develop certain "thickish" tendencies. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

John and Mary attracted a great deal of press coverage in 1969 for being the one of the first American films in which the male and female leads (Dustin Hoffman and Mia Farrow) start out the film by spending the night together, rather than holding off until the end. The morning after, the boy and girl wander about New York, wondering if they'll truly commit themselves to one another. Both characters are haunted by unsuccessful earlier affairs, and both have enough hang-ups to fill volumes of psychological textbooks. Come nightfall, John and Mary end up back in bed...and learn each other's names for the first time. John and Mary was considered "beautiful," "progressive" and "significant" in the permissive 1960s; nowadays it's about as controversial as
