All part of what we can expect to be "the new normal", unfortunately.
At least they still have jobs. For now.
A lot of the military elected this fraud. They can also tell him "thank you" for their predicament.
I would like to see furloughs in Washington DC!
Woe to all the more important public sector workers who will get all the layoffs in Obama´s effort to resist any cuts to Gubmint spending. The useless paper pushers who would not be missed are safe, EPA and Dept of Education are safe. All the parts of the government that should be open will be closed and all the parts that should be shut down are safe! This is all a political game. The pubbies need to expose this and not allow Obama to play this game.

Welcome back how your credit score had he -- recently.
How do you feel about if you pay your -- on time your one he -- rent on time every month our.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Included in your credit for.
Forming my opinion that a lot of these things -- follow Oscar it's gonna help -- out right now the CEO.
With better qualified and we're gonna we're gonna rate our own credit scores basically right now how how a company.
The three big credit rating agencies Trans Union Equifax etc.
how do they rate our credit scores who will.
The Big Three credit bureaus are actually just repositories for the data they collect the payment -- -- us.
They give that information to the Fair Isaac Corp.
that's -- come up the acronym fight -- scores.
So the bureaus don't actually generator scores.
They maintain -- -- Cycle comes up -- -- The 45 biggest things that go into it -- payment history of course -- utilization ratio that's the ratio between.
Your credit card balances to your credit limits.
Can we talk about that sure let's say you have 101000 dollar -- as a -- on your credit card and you charge 8000 dollars every month.
And you pay -- Scores going down flat at that they like to see utilization ratio below 30%.
And there's actually a designation of -- high achiever that's for someone who keeps their balances below 10%.
Of the overall credit limits and it is total so -- three or four cards with a total of 101000.
You never want those balances to be over 30%.
I know lots of people probably thought it was 50% that's what we hear all the time.
I get it I don't agree with it.
I don't understand it.
When someone says your credit good -- you pay your bill managing all your expenses we're -- up your limit we're spending you can spend this much money.
We know we're gonna pay off or we hope that you -- an ideal yet why despite a pair.
Because they don't wanna hope they wanna know they or less -- to them over the past five years that I've been paying their credit card that I.
Hands with so many people they have a positive payment history up until certain point -- and then life happens.
And unfortunately they start to this -- -- amnesia start paying cash brother running for democratic no actually.
No no.
They can't treat everything and less using debit cards has no bearing on your credit screen -- Democrat using it evercore I like -- -- else.
If it.
And then opening lots of new credit courts will also drivers were down.
So you have credit history.
Is an important factor that's why -- should not close.
Any credit cards and -- their advice to do so unless they know what they're doing.
So when you keep that and Keller.
Card open hardly used it but it's open and not used -- -- that debt.
Still -- need to keep them he played an active.
At and hurt anyone's listening I'm not telling you to go out and use all your credit cards.
All of our -- -- it is you know while the Apple Store credit -- can we get a discount -- all the -- the female clients was often say im gonna go back into my husband that.
From the CEOs that are qualified just told me that I should use my.
Handler carted stuff right so I think what the consumer can't point hair mom -- -- not ways to -- new credit is that -- for your credit for.
No inquiries wheel drive your scores down for sure I need to be careful about allowing people to pull your credit reports.
Now opening up lots of new credit in a short period of time and actually short period of talking about twelve months.
One inquiry every twelve months is up now.
Them they're going average rate -- -- -- job or future players.
Check your credit history to step -- and -- it doesn't that's not considered a hard inquiries only when you're applying for a line of credit costs does that inquiry count towards you.
And it but it can lower your school -- three to five points per report.
How many times should you monitor your own credit score.
We get this question all the time and unfortunately.
With identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the country hear about it all the time on fox you know you typically almost every day.
So unfortunately I now believe that people need to monitor their credit every thirty days.
Now last -- -- because early detection is the key.
If you don't find out that your victim of identity theft.
Most people don't find out for years when they -- they think go to buy -- new car and they realize that they have collections and stuff that are American.
I -- -- my husband live on a rental place and we put through our credit reports and all this stuff of identity theft came up on his -- and we had -- get the apartment undermining.
But that was problematic and make money -- -- I needed him.
So there's there's the perfect example yeah fortunately.
Again at its.
You don't you yourself have not been a victim you know someone -- yeah so.
People need to take steps to protect themselves can you describe what -- perfect credit.
Looks like how how what -- his -- -- let what is his spending look like.
Two to three.
Open and active revolving trade lines and one -- two installment.
Lines of credit and -- lines of credit or like mortgages auto financing student loans things that you have to pay a fixed.
Payment every month so cycle likes to see a good blended mixture they don't like did you see all installment contracts or all revolving lines of credit cards.
So essentially we should tell -- high school.
When they're not college when they're starting to make money efforts job not to open all -- credit -- because once.
It is at once they're open and they should be active and -- -- opening you should -- that yeah well.
It's in high school you know there are no classes on credit right now we see this all the time there's no classes in college -- there's macro economics micro economics but there's no credit.
-- hours and we don't shopping together and I'm buying something -- -- open -- credit -- and I already have that credit cards fifty new credit card form each I'll give.
Money looking at like 20% it's -- So that's the worst case scenario.
Department stores -- offer those credit cards at the point of sale for 20% discount.
The reason why they do that.
The studies show two things.
-- you're gonna spend that much more money -- and -- you're gonna carry a balance.
So whatever discount was given to you at that point of sale is quickly enough.
And it can again be in its gonna be problematic for your overall credit.
Now those -- excellent tips.
And a half without -- -- them up something so the other thing we're discussing is the fact that there's been a lot of talk lately about getting the gas the electrical the utility bill and even the rents.
As part of your credit history -- explain this.
Well experience already included rental payments.
It has to be set up with a -- -- prior to.
But they have Experian rent bureau credit reporting and that can be a very good thing to help people's credit.
They're paying your rent some time for years just like a mortgage shows they should be getting credit to do that.
The problem with utility bills is.
Usually that's the last thing people pay when times are tough they'll pay their mortgage -- pay their cargo pay their rent.
But the utilities they can push offer a month or two or three.
And sometimes even wait until they get the shut off notice so.
Right now it's in it's in the news and there's some buzz about this.
And some people are trying to put a spin on it that it's actually going to be good for the consumer man who is.
Their credit lives but.
That's not why it's being done it's being done because.
The utility companies want the leverage to report this data to the credit -- yeah.
-- I think weigh in on a chat teen thing that your utility bills should be part of your credit -- should be used as part of it it -- people think.
Is cable it's it's going to be part of it -- sure it's going to be -- cable right now that no it's not.
You don't know utility bills.
Know cable -- paying utility -- with the corporate.
-- you get a crack sorry I don't.
I'm not -- -- kind of meeting time the so let me cable bill yet and so democratic.
Suitors sooner than later it is going to be adding yet they're putting the steps in place right now -- -- dominant software driven technology they have it.
So it's gonna be it's going to happen so people that are out there listening and watching.
Make sure that you start this positive payment -- towards utility bills.
You just tell me form my opinion I think come for -- us.
-- -- -- They learned a lot and have a payment every month you have a day I imagine go right as -- as -- -- -- -- ample time in place before they implement right.
And there's talk about only starting with positive.
Bill payment histories -- first which is a great way to.
Implement the utility bill -- -- I understand how this is going to be hard for those.
Struggling to make ends meet for lower income areas.
But in it's fair to say that that group typically doesn't -- credit as -- It is and that's why the proponents of of the bill are saying it's going to help them establish.
Their first credit histories but with a negative.
Then it's gonna be negative credit histories that's that's the problem you know nothing good for everybody -- -- that's true.
But listen on the first person to say that I don't agree with the credit reporting system it's not always indicative of the person's credit worthiness -- but let's face it.
We have few tools to measure 300 million people.
Right you -- -- let's say we're not -- perfect storm.
Score credit get the credits -- rather what are some steps preferably three that help you repair -- bad credit score.
Well the first thing would be knowing what your credit scores are -- unfortunately most people make the mistake and they walk around assuming.
There either good or bad right so you have to know you have to pull your credit report go to annual credit report dot com.
That's the government's website gives us all one free look every twelve months about a great place to start the second is payment history.
One times thirty day delinquency.
That occurs if you don't make your payment before the next due date.
Can drop -- for a 200 points.
So most people should I pay most of my bills on time yeah -- make some -- that they don't realize how devastating it gave -- In point you know we on this credit payment -- -- -- forget get to get that company on the phone and say hey can you just.
Give me credit like you know for -- this this one time take off the -- me.
The late fee and yes still there is -- -- right now with discovered the discovery card.
-- -- marketing sizzle right now on these waving the late payment fees if you got a credit court in good standing for awhile and you miss a payment.
Not a thirty day delinquency but you're just late morning call the credit card company most of the time they're going to waive the late -- but under no circumstance.
To divesting your ability don't let that -- go past the next due -- because again thirty -- late payment try to drop this work 200 points.
And it hasn't been on television.
What's your amazing -- thank you so much better filed -- CEO great pets.

The winner of the Bedruthan Quiver Surfboard Competition is Kelvin White. Congratulations Kelvin! The Quiver team are now busy putting the winning design on Kelvin's board. We will be updating the website, so keep logging on to see the board's progress as it takes shape and colour.
In second place is Claire Bugler's design. We loved this Claire, it gave us all a good chuckle and sharing laughter is one of our favourite things here at Bedruthan.
In third place is Elle Hiller's design. We loved your use of colour Elle, and all the imagination that went into it. Luke was especially fond of the rabbit.
And one of our absolute favourites was this design by Rose, aged 5. We loved your brilliant bold use of colour and materials. You are a great artist, Rose.
Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to create a design and enter. We really appreciate the trouble and care you went to.
Bedruthan owner Emma Stratton and Quiver designer Luke Hart found it really had to choose the winner, as there were so many great designs. They really were all exceptional! We will be mounting all your designs on a surfboard to go on display at Bedruthan this summer to showcase them all.
"Picking a winner was really hard," said Luke. "I know all of them would look great on a surfboard
, but we thought the winner was original, colourful and told a story, which I thought was cool.
"The 6 legged rabbit was deffo my favourite picture though!"
We like local companies

Well, in the case of the Scarlet and Bedruthan Steps hotels' Sustainable Travel press trip, the journey was as important as the destination.
We wanted to show journalists and bloggers from up country just how accessible Cornwall can be and encourage them to promote sustainable forms of travel.
And as champions of simple pleasures, we wanted to make the journey itself a part of the holiday experience, rather than something to be endured until reaching the hotels.
So what did we do?
We invited various members of her majesty's press to embark on a good old fashioned adventure. They boarded their train at Paddington at 5am - early, I grant you, but the immediate administration of hot coffee and croissants helped to ease their pain, and besides, there's something exciting about being up and about at that time.
After watching out the window as the home counties galloped by and the seeing the sea reached right up to the train tracks at Exeter, the group arrived at Bodmin Station at noon.
Waiting on the platform to meet them was Timo, of Cornwall cycling specialists Mobius Bikes, with mountain bikes for each of them.
Timo guided the bloggers and journalists along country lanes and back roads to the start of the Camel Trail at Bodmin, then along the trail itself past Camel Valley Wines.
A fudge stop helped everyone to enjoy their journey that little bit more, followed by a fish and chip lunch in Padstow. The cycling element of their sustainable journey was rewarded at 7pm with a well deserved hot tub on the cliffs outside the Scarlet.
Then a Biotravel green taxi whisked them back to Bodmin for their train back to London.
Bodmin station has rarely - if ever - seen so many bicycling bloggers and
sustainable travel journalists.
With the free, fresh wind in your, life comes without care when your biking.
Stopping for a breather.
A well deserved glass of wine wouldn't go a miss, but there is such a crime as being drunk in charge of a bicycle.

Shockwaves are circulating throughout the entertainment and Jewish communities in the aftermath of producer/talent manager Joan Hyler's life-threatening accident.
Hyler, who blended her Hollywood prominence with her passion for Judaism, was struck by a car on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu Friday night on her way to a friend's house. She is still listed in critical condition at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where friends and family are reporting through UCLA's carepages that she was responsive to doctors' requests yesterday.
Hyler, whose former clients include Madonna, Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan, was scheduled to celebrate client Portia de Rossi's marriage to Ellen Degeneres, which took place on Saturday night. She is a former president of Women in Film and co-created the Jewish Image Awards.
The latest update on her condition reads:
Sunday, August 17th
The reports are more encouraging, but Joan is not out of the woods yet. There are plenty of positive signs, but still a lot of unknowns, so it's a wait and see scenario. Medically, it is way too complicated to describe, but from a non-professional, here are the positive signs:
—Joan does not need any more blood. She did go through 40 units, however, and the medical staff here was quick to suggest that people who want to participate in her recovery, emotionally, should give blood to replenish the blood bank supply. It won't go directly to Joan, but it will make sure that there is more available for other patients in the coming weeks.
—We're going in and talking to Joan. She seems to be responding. I spent some time davening schachris (praying the morning prayers), and she stirred a lot, which I took as a sign that she understood something of what was going on. While I was there, the critical care support team came in to do an assessment, and did "move your right hand, left hand, toes" etc. And the appropriate parts of the body moved, to the small extent possible!
Until more medical progress is made, the only thing friends can do is provide emotional support. Joan is a very spiritual person. I firmly believe that we can directly support her with prayers. My tallit is on her feet, and my tefillin are in her room, so there is a physical presence of the "ruach hakodesh" (spirit of holiness), and I explained to Joan what I was doing. You can pray for her, and keep her in mind when you are donating blood.
UPDATE: Joan Hyler is alive and well. Read the full story of her miraculous recovery .
At dusk on Friday night, Aug. 15, 2008, Joan Hyler was crossing Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu when she was struck by a car traveling 60 miles per hour. Her 5-foot frame was thrown 25 feet through the air before she landed on the hard pavement. It was after midnight on the East Coast when her sister, Nancy Berlin, a nonprofit consultant, got a call saying Hyler, a prominent Hollywood manager, was in critical condition.

Lindsay Lohan knows how to raise eyebrows. First, as a preternaturally talented young actress. Then, as a talented young actress who partied too hard and checked into rehab. And now, as an edgy Hollywood starlet who publicly canoodles with lady friend, DJ Samantha Ronson. And it's apparently Ronson who's behind the latest Lohan fad—converting to Judaism.
Since the two women have been spending time together, especially in the company of Ronson's Jewish family, Lohan, who was raised Catholic, is toying with the idea of being Jewish. Although speculators insist, Lohan is "doing it for Ronson," the gals refuse to confirm whether their relationship is sexual or not.
Although, the idea of it does spark an interesting challenge for an L.A. rabbi: a Catholic-Jewish conversion and then a same-sex marriage. Any takers?

In lieu of the praise one might expect in a room full of women and the ceiling-smashing Nancy Pelosi, insults were hurled towards the stage.
"Traitor!" screamed one woman. "Liar!" shouted another. One man's high-volume, breakneck rampage got him physically removed from the room. His diatribe, though nearly indecipherable, left Pelosi stone-faced but shaken.
Confronted by a surprising outburst of California's politically liberal constituency, Pelosi, on a break from her post as the first woman Speaker of the House – the third highest office in the nation – landed at American Jewish University on Aug. 11 to promote her new book, "Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters." Faced with an acrimonious audience, one of Congress's most outspoken critics of the Bush administration was lambasted for opposing impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush.
During a 90-minute Q&A with AJU's president, Robert Wexler, nearly 400 people listened as Pelosi discussed her childhood, her unexpected rise to power and the need for more women in government. When Wexler pressed her on a question about Congress's dismally low 9% approval rating, Pelosi defended herself and her colleagues. This prompted an irate audience member to accuse Pelosi of shirking her constitutional responsibility by not impeaching Bush for the deceptive reasoning that started the Iraq war.
Pelosi dismissed the outburst. "I have complete comfort with the frustration. I'm from the streets," she said.
But when several other people rose from their seats in paroxysms of protest, Pelosi was forced onto the defensive.
"I take an oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United States. Don't tell me I don't do that," she snapped. "Why don't you go picket the Republicans in Congress that will not allow us to have a vote on the war?"
It was the puzzling part of the whole evening: why L.A. liberals have allowed themselves to be charmed by people like Karl Rove (who appeared a few months back) but were hostile to Nancy Pelosi, who purports to represent their interests.
By the time the crowd quieted down, Pelosi looked deflated.
"What else do you have for me?" she asked a bereft Wexler, who refused to confront her with the issue on everybody's mind.
Despite her book's message of empowerment to America's women, Pelosi was pelted as if she were a harlot.

The new Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco is a hip amalgam of modern art. Daniel Liebeskind's peculiar architectural dazzle looks like a giant Rubik's Cube in metallic steel, standing on its tip beneath the city's downtown skyscrapers. Beside it is the Jessie Street Power Substation, a brick and terra cotta structure in the classical revival style, a landmark building first erected in 1881 that Liebeskind adapted to the project.
The juxtaposition of the historic with the cutting-edge is an odd sight, but it does represent a spectrum of Jewish experience as a kind of past-future metaphor. The architecture—and the art—are a way of linking tradition with what is current. But once you enter the museum's whitewashed asymmetrical orbit, the image of Judaism projected feels—well, not very Jewish.
Not that the current exhibitions aren't provocative, interactive or innovative. Inside the new building is "John Zorn Presents the Alef-Bet Sound Project," where various musicians and composers have written music based on the kabbalistic meaning of Hebrew letters. The result plays to great atmospheric effect inside the angular room with 36 diamond-shaped skylights that positively glow.
"In the Beginning: Artists Respond to Genesis" is the most comprehensive exhibit, featuring a combination of historical art (Chagall, Rodin, etc.) and newly commissioned installations, where artists meditated on the modern relevance of the Genesis story. These creations are edgy, experiential and even abstruse.
Alan Berliner's experimental film plays across separate horizontal screens that randomly flash words from Genesis in English. At the touch of a button, the word roll stops and somehow always forms a perfect (and poetic) sentence. If "God" comes up, thunder strikes and a montage of dramatic images from Jewish history play in montage (think: Holocaust).
While the offerings are stimulating and sometimes strange (check out Trenton Doyle Hancock's "In the Beginning There Was the End, in the End There Was the Beginning," about half-human, half-plant creatures attacked by jealous half-siblings who are then swallowed by the earth and become "Vegans") the Jewish content is sparse.
Where is Jewish history? No destruction of the Temple? No Babylonian exile? Not even Ellis Island? No, there's only William Steig, The New Yorker cartoonist who created "Shrek." And don't expect a Zionist ode to Israel. In this museum's version of Judaism, Israel might as well not exist. And as far as any instructive on Jewish religious observance—that's pretty much limited to some audible Torah chanting as you roam around and a couple of Torah books sitting on a table for your reading pleasure (that is, if you're fluent in Hebrew).
Here, the closest you'll get to Shabbat is a pair of candlesticks in the museum gift shop.
All this, and Libeskind still insists Judaism was at the heart of his creation. He offered some insights into his process during a Q&A with Heeb magazine:
How did you choose chai as the one word that ended up embedded in the design of the museum?
I think it's probably the most famous word in Jewish tradition and it's also a number with a lot of meaning:18. It's about bringing life, and I think emblems of life are part of the story they communicate. In this case, the Hud and Yud are organizing volumes for a new life, a new building outside an existing power station. And then I've also used proportions of 18 throughout the building.
In Hebrew letters are not just signs – the letters themselves are part of the story they create and they have a deep history. Jews are the only people who can read a text that's 2000 years old without any sort of translation. You can't do that in Latin or Greek because the language has changed, but in Hebrew the meaning of letters is unchanged and very specific.
Do you consider yourself religious?
Religion is so distorted today – fundamentalist occurrences have distorted it – but I think everyone is a believer, you believe before you even think about it. And Jewish tradition is something I'm very much a part of. But "Jewish" is complex, there's not just one way to be Jewish. My own family, for example, includes a Hasidic strand, a Zionist strand, reformists, anarchists – they're all part of the family, and all of those strands are part of the Jewish tradition.
What aspects of Jewish culture did you most want to highlight with your design?
I wanted to emphasize that Jewish culture is deeply rooted in the past but has always had an incredible horizon of freedom into the future. I wanted to create spaces that simultaneously connect you to history and reinvent history. That, to me, is part of Jewish tradition and I wanted to introduce that concept through not only the design but the use of the building, which is why there are spaces programmed for a multi-purpose room, education spaces, and event areas, not just galleries.
And I wanted it to be obvious that there is a Jewish sensibility to creating such a building. All of it – from the small to the big, both in the design and the way the building operates – is symbolically and truly Jewish. That's why the area for kids and families is at the center, the front desk welcomes you with both a literal and mystical understanding [lights create the word pardes on the lobby wall behind the front desk] and the museum is located in an urban context. I think all of those things make you think about and consider Jewish culture in America. It's not merely an appliqué of Jewish truth, it's an extension of many Jewish themes through architecture.

Thanks to the provocative Israeli film, "The Secrets," featured in the 23rd Israel Film Festival, Orthodox Jewish seminaries are a hot topic this summer.
Our Calendar intern, Jina Davidovich, is choosing to spend a year studying torah at an all-girls theological college in Israel, like Naomi, the main character in the film.
However, the similarities end there. Jina, in contrast to Naomi, is not postponing an unwanted shiduch, but rather her college education. Bright and bubbly, the recent YULA graduate is also a far cry from the brooding, angst-ridden young woman in the film. At the moment, her most pressing dilemma doesn't involve the proper place of a woman in religious life or her relationship to other female students, but rather the resorting of her closet. Here is Jina's honest and endearing confession:
As I stood amongst a heap of discarded clothing, the frustration got the better of me, and I screamed. My parents raced down the stairs and cried, "What happened?" Reminiscent of my younger temper-tantrum days, I flung myself onto the pile of bright colored t-shirts and dresses and wailed, "I have nothing to wear in seminary! I'm not going!"
While this scene sounds like something out of a religious version of The Real World, I assure you, it's a situation that many seminary-bound girls will find themselves in in a few short weeks as they pack their bags for Israel.
It has become an encouraged tradition for girls and boys from Orthodox American high schools to push off their collegiate plans for a year and attend the best seminaries and yeshivas in Israel. After countless arguments, I was sending a deposit to Michlelet Mevaseret Yerushalayim (MMY) where I would spend the year with my head buried in various religious texts. Now, with less than a hundred days to go, I'm starting to panic.
While I am accustomed to the rules and rigorous standards that accompany life at an Orthodox, all-girls institution (I recently graduated from Yeshiva of Los Angeles), this was a whole new ballgame – I was playing with the big boys, well, girls. When I received my acceptance packet from MMY, I quickly flipped to the section detailing all the standards they require of their talmidot (students). While I knew the dress code would force me to cross every religious t and dot every modest i, seeing it in writing made me break a sweat. Shirts that covered my collarbone and my elbows, skirts that cover the knee while sitting or standing, and no open-toed shoes…I rushed to my closet to find that I was in dire need of a new wardrobe.
Now, every time my friends and I enter a store, we must tear our eyes away from the just-too-short summer dresses and those oh-so-cute jeans and head towards the ankle-length skirts and crew-neck shirts. As I stand in my closet and finger all the clothing with which I much part in a mere 69 days, I remind myself that in Israel, I won't be working on my outside, but rather, my inside.
In the meantime, I'm trying to keep my tantrums to a minimum and my skirt lengths to a maximum.

The secret is out. There is a steamy sexual scene between two gorgeous Israeli women in the film, "The Secrets."
But the Israeli film, directed by Avi Nesher and spotlighted in this year's Israel Film Festival, is not only about a lesbian love affair.
The film is much deeper than that.
To be sure, the title "The Secrets" is referring to the intimate bond two young religious girls form while studying at a seminary in Safed. The girls, both under societal and familial pressure to marry and fulfill their role as dutiful mothers and wives, must keep their romantic feelings hidden from the world and much of the film's drama revolves around the clandestine coupling.
But there are other, more intense secrets in the film.
Like the cause of the main character, Naomi's mother's death. The family alludes to an illness and Naomi accuses her father of ignoring her mother's depression, but the entire subject is seemingly swept under the ultra religious household's rug.
Then there is the mysterious French woman in Safed who seeks the help of the two young seminary students to obtain redemption for a murder she committed. The terminally ill social outcast reveals a few of her dark secrets during the course of the film, while others remain hidden.
In attempting to purge the woman's sins, Naomi delves into the forbidden secrets of Kabbalah, whose roots are strongly entrenched in the holy city of Safed. Almost like playing with the dark side of magic, Naomi unearths passages and rituals in the seminary's ancient books and concocts a series of "tikkunim" - literally "fixes" - to cleanse the sinner's soul.
"The Secrets" is a riveting labyrinth of hidden thoughts, mysterious deeds and concealed emotions that prompts you to consider numerous interesting questions, including whether sexual relations between women are forbidden in Judaism. The answer is not what you would expect.
You'll have to see the movie to find out. Or ask your rabbi, although I think spending $11 is much easier.

Jewish Journal super-intern, Jina Davidovich, writes about her extracurricular activities for The Calendar Girls:
As a senior at Yeshiva University of Los Angeles Girls' School, my obligations extend beyond surviving anxiety attacks that come with opening college decision letters, keeping up my grades and attempting to have a social life. Every week, YULA students are required to do one hour of community service (chesed) which is then recorded on yellow cards with blue stamps. Those blue stamps are highly coveted for the simple reason that not having enough of them means not graduating.
I pulled out my chesed card a couple of weeks ago and turned it over to find that five of the boxes were sans stamps. I started to panic. Luckily, our school psychologist had a suggestion—the Aleinu Family Services Hike-a-Thon, worthy of one blue stamp. While I am not the most enthusiastic nature lover, I knew Aleinu is a great organization so mustering up the desire to help wasn't difficult.The Hike-a-Thon took place June 1st at Kenneth Hahn Park, where hundreds gathered to raise money for Aleinu's Safety Kid project. In learning more about the extremely successful program, my interest was suddenly piqued. Safety Kid trains educators around the country to go into pre-school, elementary and middle schools to teach adolescents the importance of safety and ways to implement it in their day-to-day lives. In addition to demonstrations, the Child Safety Institute, which runs Safety Kid, has presentations for parents and educators to ensure that their steps toward safety come from a joined front of kids, adults, and teachers.
At the event, families gathered around water stations to rehydrate after the hike. Children were running around, parents were grinning, the weather was gorgeous and suddenly, the blue stamp didn't matter. My job was to distribute prizes to the excited kids. Water guns were a predictable favorite, which resulted in my t-shirt being damp by the end of the day. My required hour was over, but I didn't want to leave yet. I was having a great time.
Coincidentally, the YULA community service coordinator approached me with her four kids. "Looks like someone is in desperate need of hours," she joked. "Nope," I responded, "someone is just dedicated to the community and wants to lend a helping hand." We both laughed at my slightly sarcastic comment, but I realized it was really true. Having heard so many stories of child abuse and abduction, it felt good to be helping to create a way to prevent children from being harmed.
I handed out my last water gun and headed home.
One stamp down, 4 to go.

Where on Ventura Boulevard can you get a glatt kosher prime rib eye steak infused with a garlic herb rub, broiled in an open fire while singing along to popular Israeli love songs performed by the legendary Pini Cohen?
Only at Bocca steakhouse, the much anticipated and talked about phoenix that rose out of the ashes of what was once Tempo. Filling the shoes of such an iconic Israeli hangout of the San Fernando Valley is not going to be an easy task, but Bocca seems to be settling right in.
I visited the steakhouse, only several months old, last Thursday night and the place was hopping. Every seat in the house was being warmed by a well-dressed lady or gentleman. Handsome waiters dashed about, carrying martini glasses, gorgeous-looking appetizers and thick, juicy steaks. Pini Cohen, a legendary Israeli entertainer, milled about saying hello to loyal fans and chatting with old friends. Cohen drew enormous crowds every Thursday night for his Israeli sing-alongs at Tempo, and the owners of Bocca wisely kept that tradition going, all the while changing everything else around it.
Patrons at the old Tempo may not have necessarily come for the food, though I've heard the Mediterranean fare was appetizing enough, whereas Bocca is making a serious attempt to attract diners to their high end cuisine and not just their "go to be seen scene."
Bocca's menu makes you wish you could dine out every week. Appetizers include Asian chicken satay over spiced crispy rice and apricot-glazed Moroccan chicken wings served with couscous. There is a delicious selection of soups, salads and pastas, but I had no interest in those options that night. I skipped straight to the entrees: the Bocca steak with bearnaise sauce, center cut medallions, pepper crusted London broil, prime rib black angus…it was a big decision.
I settled on the garlic rubbed prime rib eye steak with rice pilaf and roasted potatoes. I was not disappointed. The food was delectable. Lucky for me, by the time the food arrived, the enchanting Pini Cohen was on stage, which forced me to look up from my plate every few seconds and breathe between bites. In Hebrew, you would say that Cohen "ose sameach," which literally translates to "Cohen makes happy." But the saying really means that Cohen gets the party started.
And that he did. As soon as he started singing, the steaks were forgotten, wine glasses abandoned and chairs pushed aside as people got up to dance and sing along.
The entire restaurant, decked out in elegant furnishings, designer light fixtures and romantic candles turned into a rocking party scene. It was quite a transformation.
If Bocca can continue to impress with its delicious (and kosher!) cuisine as well as delight with its vibrant live entertainment, the corner of Ventura and Hayvenhurst is going to be, once again, one of the hottest spots in the Valley.

Posted: Oct 11, 2012 5:20 PM by Melissa Anderson - MTN News
HELENA - Identity theft doesn't just affect adults - thieves are now targeting children.
In fact, some reports indicate that children are victimized 51 times more than adults.
The Better Business Bureau says it's not only a good idea to check your own credit report regularly, but also your children's, even if they don't have a credit rating yet.
BBB Montana spokeswoman Colleen Smith explained, "Check your children's Social Security numbers because that's the big thing now, is scammers are stealing children's identities because nobody is looking at it until they are 18, and they go to apply for a student loan and then they find out that their credit has been trashed. So make sure you check your children's credit reports as well."
To check your child's identity, you can go through an identity protection company called ALL CLEAR ID for a free child ID screen.
Some tips include not giving out information about your child if you don't have to, watch for mail received in your child's name, and teach your kids about online safety.

The roly-poly, free-spirited stars (and excellent sledders) of Snowmen at Night are back, this time to celebrate Christmas, snowman style. Tree trimming, carols and ice cream are all part of the festive agenda—as is a visit from "the snowman Kris Kringle." Jazzy rhyming verse keeps a buoyant party beat as Mark Buehner's holiday lights and street lamps twinkle and glow like the real thing. Readers will smile watching these nimble and nattily accessorized snowmen dancing, decorating cookies and playing the fiddle before they settle back into place for Christmas, human style. Seek-and-find images on each page add to the excitement; a boxed set of both books doubles the fun. ($32.99 ISBN 0-8037-3108-6). Ages 4-up. (Sept.)

outlaw 18 wheelers...hmmm..guess most of you don't know someone makes a living out of doing so? Guess the dirt/gravel/building materials will have to be delivered by buggy and thus cost more to build because it will take a lot of buggies to haul what one 18 wheeler can? The fault is not of the 18 wheeler but driver error. Can we outlaw all cars...since its mostly cars you see flipping over, rear ending others, hitting a pedestrian, etc....more like it's driver errors and speed. Everyone is always in a hurry and if you drive down 37 early morning you will see all sorts of cars/trucks speeding just to get to the refineries on time. And then darn cell phones..seems no one can put the phone down for what 10 mins...they are driving talking and texting and going a whole lot slower than the normal traffic or swerve all over the road and over correct. Whether you are driving a car, truck, bus, 18 wheeler...the driver behind each wheel is responsible to be responsible while they are driving.
Put the blame where it really is...driver error..and in this caee the black truck..
he lost control...was he speeding on a slick road, talking on a cell, texting, probably one of these is what cause him to hit the concrete barrier and bounce off and rear ended the 18 wheeler and cause him to jackknife.
those commenting must be the most perfect drivers, who never talk, text or speed....B-....
I guess you missed the fact that I was being sarcastic, it's okay bro.

Favorite flyer. PS - Been meaning to replay this game forever.This is SUCH A GOOD GAME. I replayed it a couple of years ago and I want to play it again but I need to finish Skyward Sword first, ha. I made the huge mistake of stopping in the middle of a dungeon and haven't had the hours necessary to get out of there.
Anyway I'm so happy I never got rid of my GBC!
I can't find my GBC games and I'm so annoyed because I KNOW I wouldn't have gotten rid of them.

Mail call for soldiers, airmen and sailors stationed abroad can often be a very difficult, lonely time. Deanna and Bill Cook work to make mail call a little less hard for those men and women that have no one in the United States to send them packages.
Since 2008, the Cooks have worked with First Baptist Church Navarre, where they are members, to put together and send care packages to troops stationed abroad.
"We started in 2008 and over the last four years, we have sent over 300 care packages," said Deanna.
Deanna and Bill got involved because there is a large military contingency in Navarre and among the church members she said.

Gary Johnson visits ASU and addresses liberty issues to Ron Paul / Libertarian / Libertarian-Republicans and students.
Friday, September 28th, 2012Gary Johnson recently visited ASU and addressed several Liberty-related issues including drugs, immigration, war and liberty issues to Ron Paul/Libertarian/Libertarian-Republican and independent voters.
For those of you who don't know who Gary Johnson is, he is the Libertarian candidate running for President. You see, he used to be a Republican when he was the Governor of New Mexico. The Republican Party snubbed Gary and now they "will get what they wished for and will pay tenfold….." That said, I see Gary Johnson being a power house in very much the same way Ross Perot was in 1992. Remember Ross Perot from 20 years ago and who was concerned about free trade, federal budget deficits, and the U.S. national debt? I see the same parallel and we can learn from history. Gary Johnson will influence the direction as he does his best to frame political discourse. Like Ross Perot….Gary will indeed have an important effect on the 2012 election, and I am told he will be on the ballot in 47 states so far in our Union, and his campaign is working tirelessly to get him on the other 3.
The new House Congressional Poll ratings will hurt the Republican Party since in essence they became the "Party of Hell No" instead of being the party of solutions. More than ever we need to go back to working on solutions….shedding the partisanship. We need to go back to the Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill days. We are hungry for that. We can no longer support the Tea Party and those who chant Hell No to everything. Americans want politicians to do what they are paid to do and work with each other across the political aisle for what is in the best interest of the United States. More Tea Party supporters have proven to be divisive with their "Hell No" to everything approach and it is destroying the unity message we yearn for because a house divided will not stand.
Gary no longer has to worry about pissing off the Republican Party. He is now truly a free spirit and a free agent and he can speak what he is convicted to speak on. Nobody can shut up Gary now, and that makes him politically dangerous. I like that, and I applaud his bold move in leaving the GOP for good and switching to the Libertarian Party. Here is a short clip taken by Nick Thomas on that day where Gary Johnson speaks to the media followed by Libertarian candidate Michael Kielsky (running against Maricopa County Counselor Bill Montgomery). We also heard Barry Goldwater Jr. speak before Gary Johnson gave his keynote speech.
I was very surprised to hear Gary Johnson say that President Obama received more "Liberty Torches" than Mitt Romney. Now obviously, Gary Johnson received the most Liberty torches out of all the candidates, nonetheless….I was shocked. According to Gary Johsnon, the ACLU came out with a report card last December 2011 where 24 Liberty torches was the perfect score.
Gary stated in this youtube video (fast forward to 5:45 minute mark) the following:
Mitt Romney received 0/24 Liberty torches. (Zero)
Newt Gingrich had 4/24 Liberty torches
President Obama received 16/24 Liberty torches
Ron Paul received 18/24 Liberty torches
Gary Johnson had 21/24 Liberty torches
In looking at the above, you can see how President Obama is viewed as a moderate … and he is going to need to be viewed that way in order to garner independent voters like me or 80% of the moderate American population. For those of you who could not attend the Gary Johnson event at Arizona State University, you can see his speech below:
Gary Johnson @ ASU Rally 9/26/12 Part 1
Gary Johnson @ ASU Rally 9/26/12 Part 2
We received so much support and love from the educated and open-minded voters at the Gary Johnson rally. We love educated and open-minded people.
You see, when (Libertarian candidate) Andrea Glasscock Garcia ran against the extremist Arizona Senator Russell Pearce in 2010, I endorsed her when I used to be the President of Somos Republicans. Like Gary Johnson, I left the Republican Party for good and I decided to be an independent registered voter here in Arizona. I'm not the only one — (Independent) Mike Stauffer for Maricopa County Sheriff also left the Republican Party and is running against the corrupt Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
As an independent conservative, Mike Stauffer is Joe Arpaio's most formidable opponent and it is time for Arpaio to go because the demographics are like this in Maricopa County:
36% registered R's
35% registered I's
29% registered D's
1% registered L's
So you can see why we are backing Mike Stauffer for Sheriff, because he attracts the fiscal conservatives, Libertarians, moderate Republicans and some Democratic voters, too. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has wasted millions and millions of tax payer dollars. He is no fiscal conservative, and has abused his authority. We want to thank Andrea Garcia for helping us secure a booth at this Gary Johnson event. It was successful, fruitful and we were well received by the exact target market we need in order to beat Arpaio. Below are photos of the National Tequila Party Movement micro-targeting Libertarians / Libertarian-Republicans / Independents / Ron Paul revolutionists / Gary Johnson supporters and so on.

Another good video. I've watched them all and learned a lot.
Hey..... I'm listed as a newbie in the credits!!!!! My 1.5 seconds of fame!!! WOO HOO.
Ok. I watched the video. Then I watched it again. Then I watched it and stopped it as I followed along.
I filled both the 3.5 and the 6 with mininal mishaps and only a modicum of mess.
I am in vaping heaven with these tanks!!!!! OMG the hit... the vapor.... the flavor..... its orgasmic!
Go Gators!
Just something I noticed about the video... Snowdragon has really nice fingernails. So clean... like a doctor... and buffed like you get when you use your ridge smoother buffer file.
Second... after the video ends all these little boxes come up with links. One is for a guy filling a 510 tank of some sort. He wears these black things on all his fingers... they look like the finger condoms for wounds only I have never seen black ones, only natural color ones. That is so weird looking ... what is up with that????? Maybe he doesn't have nice nails like Snowdragon. Another one is in arabic and is very very strange. I guess I really need to get out more....
Go Gators!
It's so nice to have you around Gator, would'nt be the same without you.
LOL @ finger condoms, scary... This video would have helped me greatly a couple weeks ago, I think I emptied half of my bottle of E-Juice on the floor >:O

We visited the cafe here, while on a two day visit to Rothenburg. We ordered a couple of pastries, both of which turned out to be dry and stale. We ordered a pot of hot chocolate, which holds about 3 and a half cups, and the server, one of the owners, brought us two cups of hot chocolate. My wife... More

Nice colour. I gave this to my son to take to school and he came home with it stillffull. He was tipping it up to drink, but there is a straw inside so he couldn't drink anything. The straw detached easily though so i took it off now he can tip it up to drink. You need to make sure the cap is pushed right back to drink too otherwise hardlyany drink will come out. As long as you keep the tiny plastic cap over the air hole it doesn't leak though. Not a bad bottle once you have worked out how to use it properly!
23/07/2013 17:55:38
It was reduced if you bought something else and whilst it was worth buying, I would not have paid full price for it as the flip spout is fairly useless and doesn't allow much water out and the water also had a not so delicious metallic tinge to it despite my efforts to wash it to prevent this. If however you have a particular proclivity to metallic water, this is the product for you.
27/07/2013 16:38:19
The bottle was purchased for our 4 year old son. It is to be used on a camping holiday, but also for when he returns to school. It is extremely lightweight, 'easy-flip' lid, able to turn it upside-down without any spillage, and only allows for sipping (better than guzzling). A really good purchase!
06/08/2013 10:05:09
Horrible metallic tase, wouldn't pay 5p for it, certainly not the £7 full value. I'm annoyed at paying £349 at half price for it. This is, at best, a cheap giveaway item. Nothing new for the rubbish MW peddles though.
05/08/2013 20:57:23
Stores drink with no leaking but after sucking from the straw just once the straw then becomes blocked so you then have to unscrew the lid and blow through the straw to release the blockage - can be annoying
12/08/2013 10:42:45
This is such as useful little bottle. It fits perfectly into the place for bottles on my backpack. The flip spout flips up easily and there is a straw inside for easy drinking without having to open anything.
25/07/2013 09:18:02
Unlike a lot of other bottles this one, brought for my son, has endured the endless task of being thrown around, dropped and generally chewed. The bottle is light and the flip spout ensures it doesn't leak.
24/07/2013 14:06:28
There a little rubber thing inside, which when removed allows air in so that water can come out, but it will then leak in your bag. Am I expected to take it apart and replace it between usage and storage?
09/08/2013 11:12:38
I was looking for something to use at work as well as when out walking & this is an ideal size, although its original price is too expensive & I wouldn't have bought it if it hadn't been half price.
23/07/2013 23:39:16
Great design - fits into rucksac side pockets with side tab on the top enabling you to lift it out of the pocket while wearing the rucksac- Brilliant! Will be getting another.
28/07/2013 17:37:45
All of the bottles In the store were of a similar size and we are used to bigger size containers from America! But does fit in the side pockets of bags!
13/07/2013 17:33:36
bought three and will use frequently on our weekly walks. one is for my 5 year old grandson to take to school with his packed lunch
24/07/2013 16:26:32
Bought this for my teenage daughter for school, she loves this bottle prefers it over all the other ones, doesn't leak!
29/08/2013 21:09:19
Ideal for walking. Attach to your bag with a carabine and there is an easily accessible source of water all walk round.
09/06/2013 23:22:24
It takes the temperature of the inside water, so it is not big pleasure to handle it with very cold drink.
13/07/2013 15:16:05
Drinking hose hides which always helps to avoid leaking and product seems fairly sturdy for its purpose
13/07/2013 14:51:38
Nice slim bottle. Light. Good colour. Good price. Fits nicely into rucksack or bike bottle holder.
21/07/2013 15:23:21
Great size for personal use and can be clipped to a belt with a carabiner. Bonus is no plastic taste.
04/08/2013 16:51:03
it is very suitable for work because it will keep my drink cooler than a normal plastic bottle.
22/08/2013 18:22:35
Bought this as a 'point of sale' purchase. Seems a bit tinny so not sure how robust it will be.

Back in the day, when audio solutions weren't integrated into motherboards, people had to go out and buy their own sound cards. They were large, sophisticated pieces of hardware. Creative is one of the oldest companies known to manufacture sound solutions for all kinds of users, those into music, movies as well as gaming. Integrated solutions improved for a while, but it's not uncommon to see two or three-year old audio chips being used in most PCs. Gamers and audiophiles are the two groups of users who need a lot more than just the basic audio performance that we've all come to expect from audio solution onboard motherboards. Features The Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion is the absolute top-of-the-line sound cards from Creative. There are two other similar cards, priced for users with different budgets. The one we're reviewing, of course, is Fatal1ty branded to attract gamers. Fatal1ty, a well known professional gamer has his branding on a number of other gaming accessories and components, spanning across several brands. The external packaging and the contents are also designed to keep the gamers happy. The usual 3.5mm audio connects, including two optical ports The Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion comes with, of course, the card, a PC dock, called the Sound Blaster I/O drive that sits in one of the 5.25-inch slots, where your DVD drives usually go and there's also a bundled microphone. The sound card is at the heart of the entire set-up. It fits into a PCIe x1 slot and it'll fit fine on even a PCIe x4 or x16 slot, if you don't have an x1 slot free. The rear of the card has the usual set of analog 3.5mm audio ports - three for the surround sound speaker set-up, one for headphones, a line-in port that doubles up as a microphone-in jack. The interesting bit is the two optical ports, one for output, which is standard on most audio cards on discrete solutions as well as motherboards. The second is an audio input for those who might want to connect other devices to the PC. There are more connects found on the forward dock for those who want easy access. These include two RCA stereo jacks, a headphone jack and a microphone in jack. A thorough front panel The sound card itself has a 24-bit DAC that supports audio sample rates upto 96kHz. There's also 16 and 24-bit recording capability for sample rates ranging from 8 to 96kHz. The Recon3D is then a very versatile and scalable sound card that isn't just made for gaming. Creative also boasts of an inbuilt 600 Ohm headphone amplifier, which should interest those with high-end headphones. Such users usually have to depend on external headphone amplifiers. Drivers and software features The driver and user interface deserves a clear mention. It's designed to be colourful, self-explanatory and be feature-rich at the same time. Creative has tied up with THX to offer additional effects, not something an audiophile would like. These are generally enhancements designed to boost certain aspects of the sound. These effects may make the sound more interesting, but it takes its natural tone away. There are surround sound effects, bass boosting effects, auto volume settings as well as a voice volume enhancing feature, called Dialog Plus. The effects come alive and are fun to play with every now and then. However, while testing movies and music, we decided to turn off all these effects. Power and unified audio connects for the dock The effects that you can choose and configure can be saved as profiles. There are some profile presets that are bundled with the software. They are all gaming related, specifically for different genres of games. Some of these are for racing, FPS, strategy and adventure games. There's also an equalizer - nothing new, as it's found on almost all popular audio solution configuration tools. There's also volume control for surround speakers. |

Glenn Greewald has a good article out today on Obama's "bad negotiating". Glenn get's it right, mostly. Of course we all know his blind side, like many liberal purists, that the Clinton's are even worse than most in the GOP. But we'll let that slide. Mostly. Read the whole thing, but I'll pull out a few gems. He starts with a summary of extending the Bush tax cuts, continuing and extending wars, etc., etc., and then the recent willingness to accept GOP legislation to put the hardship on the backs of the poor:
All of that has led to a spate of negotiation advice from the liberal punditocracy advising the President how he can better defend progressive policy aims — as though the Obama White House deeply wishes for different results but just can't figure out how to achieve them. Jon Chait, Josh Marshall, and Matt Yglesias all insist that the President is "losing" on these battles because of bad negotiating strategy, and will continue to lose unless it improves. Ezra Klein says "it makes absolutely no sense" that Democrats didn't just raise the debt ceiling in December, when they had the majority and could have done it with no budget cuts. Once it became clear that the White House was not following their recommended action of demanding a "clean" vote on raising the debt ceiling — thus ensuring there will be another, probably larger round of budget cuts — Yglesias lamented that the White House had "flunked bargaining 101." Their assumption is that Obama loathes these outcomes but is the victim of his own weak negotiating strategy.
I don't understand that assumption at all. Does anyone believe that Obama and his army of veteran Washington advisers are incapable of discovering these tactics on their own or devising better strategies for trying to avoid these outcomes if that's what they really wanted to do? What evidence is there that Obama has some inner, intense desire for more progressive outcomes? These are the results they're getting because these are the results they want — for reasons that make perfectly rational political sense.
Exactly. Obama is doing all of this on purpose. He and his WH are not bad negotiators. Why so many Obama supporters are disappointed and are still scratching their heads over his "ineffectiveness" is still wondrous to behold. And why:
Why would Democrats overwhelmingly support domestic budget cuts that burden the poor? Because, as Yglesias correctly observed, "just about anything Barack Obama does will be met with approval by most Democrats." In other words, once Obama lends his support to a policy — no matter how much of a departure it is from ostensible Democratic beliefs — then most self-identified Democrats will support it because Obama supports it, because it then becomes the "Democratic policy," by definition. Adopting "centrist" or even right-wing policies will always produce the same combination — approval of independents, dilution of GOP anger, media raves, and continued Democratic voter loyalty — that is ideal for the President's re-election prospects.
Exactly. Why would he do any different. It's been the plan all along. He has make it clear to those of us that bothered to listen to him, that this is what he does. But then a bit later Glenn brings out the usual crutch for why 2008 didn't matter:
Before Obama's inauguration, I wrote that the most baffling thing to me about the enthusiasm of his hardest-core supporters was the belief that he was pioneering a "new form of politics" when, it seemed obvious, it was just a re-branded re-tread of Clintonian triangulation and the same "centrist", scorn-the-base playbook Democratic politicians had used for decades.
Right Glenn, because the 90′s where so horrible under the Clinton's when the gap between the rich and poor continued to widen just like under Reagan/Bush… oh wait, no it didn't, it actually reversed. And there was a surplus. And more jobs. Yea, that was really horrible for the working class. We wouldn't want any more of that. See, this is where even Glenn continues to fall short. He can't come to grips with the fact that something really horrible happened in 2008, and that horrible thing was fully funded and backed by the sample people that brought us Reagan/Bush I/ Bush II, and the wars and many other things. If you can't see a better, viable alternative right in front of your face, you will never get there. It's the usual liberal purist thinking I guess. Glenn continues:
What amazes me most is the brazen claims of presidential impotence necessary to excuse all of this. Atrios has written for weeks about the "can't do" spirit that has overtaken the country generally, but that mindset pervades how the President's supporters depict both him and the powers of his office: no bad outcomes are ever his fault because he's just powerless in the face of circumstance. That claim is being made now by pointing to a GOP Congress, but the same claim was made when there was a Democratic Congress as well: recall the disagreements I had with his most loyal supporters in 2009 and 2010 over their claims that he was basically powerless even to influence his own party's policy-making in Congress.
Nicely said. Glenn does a nice bit of shredding of some of our least favorite bloggers and their silliness. He seems to think Digby is in the right side though. Another blindside for him I think. All in all a good read.
So there you have it. Glenn mostly gets it. And in fairness mostly has along the way. But how does that help? I know we've all been down in the dumps because it seems pretty hopeless out there with a Reagan/Bush president destroying what little is left of the Dem brand, and mindless creative class types cheering all the way. Maybe someone with some guts will challenge him in '12. I'm not holding my breath though.
This is an open thread.

Since breaking into filmmaking in 1995 with the screenplay for Kids, writer-director Harmony Korine has amassed a devoted cult following with distinctly unusual works such as Gummo and Mister Lonely.
At the same time, Korine has attracted a less passionate but equally vocal band of detractors who question whether his typical low-fi style carries any substance — all while flying well below the radar of mainstream cinema.
With Spring Breakers, Korine raises his profile — enlisting James Franco, former Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, and Pretty Little Liars lead Ashley Benson in a film opening in theaters nationwide.
The result might provide as much entertainment to those watching the audience as to those watching the screen.
True to Korine's divisive oeuvre to date, the film is bound to draw laughs, cheers, offended huffs and more than a little head scratching.
Loud, violent, repetitive, oversexed and oversaturated in neon hues, it's a bizarre and occasionally hilarious reflection of American pop culture distilled through the most normal of college activities: a trip to Florida for spring break.
The film opens with a bacchanalian display of beach, bare flesh, beer bongs and middle fingers before settling in with bad girls Candy (Hudgens), Brit (Benson) and Cotty (Rachel Korine, the filmmaker's wife).
Desperate for a respite from campus life but low on cash, they knock over a chicken shack with fake guns and head south with their chaste Christian friend, Faith (Gomez), in tow.
After being busted by the police during a party, they're bailed out by Alien (Franco), a cornrowed gangster who invites them to partake in his thug lifestyle. The girls react with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and mayhem ensues.
Although depth is, unquestionably, not the film's strong suit, it does give Franco a showcase on a par with his Oscar-nominated performance in 127 Hours.
The actor takes to the role like a shark to water.
Spring Breakers certainly won't end the debate over Korine's artistic value.
But it wins him more points for originality, and it firmly places Franco's Alien in the pantheon of eminently quotable cinematic icons, such as Al Pacino's Tony Montana and Jeff Bridges' Dude.

With the holidays, specifically Christmas, just a few days away, most people indulge in a yearly tradition with their family – that of watching Disney on Ice. For years now, Disney has always been associated with childhood and innocence. That being the case, it is not surprising that most of the people who go and see Disney on Ice or parents with their kids.
Although Disney on Ice might seem like a recent production, the first actual show was held way back in 1981. Back then, the production was known as Walt Disney's World on Ice and was produced by Feld Entertainment in partnership with The Walt Disney Company. It was in 1998 that the production's name was changed to "Disney on Ice". Regardless of the change in name, the production has generally remained the same. Mascots of Disney characters skate around based on a specific routine. Together with them are dancers and skaters who have, so far, remained anonymous. To date, the show has been performed in more than a hundred of cities including those in the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. In most cases, new productions do two tour legs first in North America before heading to Japan for its third year, and then Australia.
Each of the production typically follows a certain theme. For example, for 2012, the production is entitled, "Rockin' Ever After," and features such stories and characters as those from Brave, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid. On the other hand, the 2011 production was entitled, "Treasure Trove", and featured characters and stories from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, and the Lion King among others. The 2011 production was formerly named "Disney on Ice Presents: Disneyland Adventure". In the same year, the production entitled "Dare to Dream" also took the stage. The said production featured stories such as The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Cinderella.
The Disney on Ice may not be the perfect Christmas tradition for adults; but for children who are aspiring to become "princesses" someday, this would definitely make their day.
The Disney on Ice, for this year, has already featured the Rockin' Ever After production at the PNC Arena as well as at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville. The said production featured a talent show that Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other classic Disney characters as the judges, with shows starting as early as first week of September. On the other hand, the Treasure Trove production has just recently started at the Covelli Center. The latter production featured such characters as The Incredibles, Mickey and Minnie, and Alice in Wonderland.
Some of the most memorable productions of Disney on Ice include Worlds of Fantasy which was held in 2008, the Princess Wishes: Princesses and Heroes which was held in 2006, and 100 Years of Magic which took the stage on 1999.

A repost of a post from Sina Entertainment, which stated that Wallace is funny in CSKJB. He makes fun of Dylan Kuo and flatters Jing Tian. CSKJB will be aired on Jan 24th as a Lunar New Year comedy. Wallace will play Er Dan who is known as a wretched Otaku, not only he tries to flatter and kiss Jing Tian, but also tries to molest Dylan Kuo.
Jan 15th, 23:36
Announced the entrance tickets for CSKJB preview in Xian. They will give away 15 free tickets if some conditions are met.
Jan 15th, 23:46
Announced the upcoming promo events of Wallace. Jan 17th: Beijing, Jan 18th: Xian, Jan 24th: Tianjin, Jan 25th: Baoding, Jan 26th: Wuxi, Jan 27th: Suzhou, Jan 28th: Shenzhen, Jan 29th: Zhanjiang. Details will be announced later on.
Jan 28th, Shenzhen! Hope I can go to this one!
Hana, I've already posted these 2 posters in XMSY's thread.
i want to watch "100% senorita" woth english subtitles but i can't find it.
Thanks for the translation Tobeme, have you seen Wallace in person? I do wish you can see him on the Shenzhen promotional leg on behalf of international fans. For us the chance to be able to see Wallace in person is very slim
Nope, I haven't seen him in person YET. I hope the promo event will be held in an open space. If it requires an entrance ticket the chance of seeing him is slim. Shall find out more after the first event is held (in Xian). I'll definitely go to the promo event in shenzhen. I have this crazy thought of going to one more city to see him if it's an open space gathering!

Huajie Studio has announced the 15 winners who will each get a entrance ticket today. Ummm, I hope these entrance tickets are for the movie, not the promo event. If for the latter I won't be able to see him in Shenzhen!
This is a pic of Wallace at the kick off banquet for Xing Ming Shi Ye. See the scar on his hand? His hand was scratched by Hu Yu Wei's watch while shooting for Emerald on the Roof (see post #1978).
Does that mean the 7th or 8th post on HuoJie's weibo account was posted by Wallace himself?
This pic posted on HuoJie's weibo showing that Wallace was looking at his company's account
I dont know how to make the picture bigger. Can someone please translate these two posts. Thanks

Wallace said: don't bad mouth him as he can read about them, LOL.
Hana, the 7th post is about announcing the 15 winners who will each receive an entrance ticket to the promo event in Xian.
