Democratic National Convention 2012: 5 landmines
The Republican National Convention in Tampa brought fresh reminders that even carefully choreographed political events dont always go according to plan.
Hurricane Isaac threatened to cancel the whole affair, Ron Paul supporters stirred up trouble on the convention floor and Clint Eastwood stole headlines from Mitt Romney by conducting a rambling interview with an imaginary President Barack Obama. Here are POLITICOs five potential landmines facing Obama and Democrats as they gather in Charlotte. Hurricane Bill Bill Clinton is starring in a new Obama campaign TV ad, but hes made it clear in the past he doesnt take his talking points from the Obama campaign hes even said so explicitly. Clintons got a prime-time speaking slot on Wednesday night, but Charlotte will be full of chances for him to freelance on camera or speak just a bit too candidly about Obama. Republicans will be ready to pounce on Clinton if he credits himself instead of Obama for positives, or expresses doubts about an Obama proposal. And then theres the possibility Clinton could suggest support for a Republican plan, like he seemed to in June regarding the competing proposals over extending the Bush tax cuts. Already, Romneys campaign has sought to stoke the old divide between the Obama and Clinton camps by pouncing on every Clinton statement remotely praising Romney. Theyve used a graphic featuring a red-faced Hillary Clinton with the words Shame on you, Barack Obama from her infamous 2008 press conference, and last week it launched a website commemorating Clintons comment, noting Romneys sterling business career. Obamas team, at least publicly, is expressing confidence that Clinton wont let them down. Obviously, President Clinton has extraordinary credibility on these issues of how [to] build a strong economy, a senior Obama campaign adviser said. He faced some of the same forces when he was president that President Obama is facing now, the same opposition to dealing with a fiscal challenge by asking the wealthy to pay a little more. We believe hes an important messenger and, obviously, hes going to play a significant role in our convention and beyond our convention. Rebuilding You didnt build that Republicans built a whole night in Tampa around rebutting Obamas You didnt build that line. Democrats are putting in prime time the woman from whom Obama cribbed the line. Thats not the only potential trouble from Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic candidate for Ted Kennedys old Senate seat and the woman who headed the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Harvard Law professor is a political novice who will be making her debut on the national stage. And even though shell be in Charlotte to pump up the president, her main focus will be her own election prospects, and what plays in Massachusetts and to the Daily Kos crowd isnt always what moves moderates around the rest of the country. As candidates like Todd Akin and George Allen know, it takes only one on-camera slip-up to cause a fatal distraction. But Warren poses a special risk for Obama: Will she handle the flood of interviews without hijacking Obamas message to middle-class voters or alienating what remaining Wall Street donors the campaign still counts as friends? Thats not even getting into how Warren would respond to questions about her shaky campaign rollout, which for weeks was distracted by her claims of Native American heritage.

(via Wood Paneling: The 60s Favorite Is Back | Apartment Therapy)
Besides being a testament to the fact that everything old is new again if you just wait long enough, I'm happy to see this article because I've always been a huge proponent of wood paneled walls.
When properly contextualized, wood paneling is like any other wooden neutral. It can be ugly or sublime, but that is heavily dependent on what it's surrounded by. This particular example of wood paneling is extremely successful because it's apried with clean lined, industrial looking furniture (how sexy is that classic tanker desk in red, right?), instantly toughening up what would otherwise be a little too log cabin-y.
Of all the examples used in the full article, I find it's one of the very few which manages to not look particularly theme-y or vintage and where the wall is still secondary to the furniture in it, which is key. After all, wood paneled or not, it's still just a wall, and it should serve as an accent, not as the focus of the entire room.
Wood paneling gets a bad rap because it's associated with ancient rec rooms, complete with shag rugs, plaid furniture, and other "groovy" leftovers, but properly contextualized, nothing feels cozier. When paired properly with clean lined furniture and accessories, the only thing dated about wood paneling is our fear of it.

When you have a motorcycle, there are things you'll need to do in order to keep it looking and running great. Here are some tips for taking care of the various basic parts of a motorcycle.
Cleaning is the most basic care a motorcycle needs. Since it has more exposed parts than a car, taking it to a high-pressure car wash isn't the best idea. That much pressure can damage the parts of a motorcycle. Instead, wash your bike by hand. Use toothbrushes and other small implements to get into the tiny nooks and crannies. Be careful when spraying water in order to avoid shorting out the engine's ignition system.
Lubricate the chain. Do this every time you wash your bike because the old lubricant can get washed off. Also, lubricate the chain every time it appears to need it.
Check the tires. Just like with cars, motorcycle tires need to be kept at the right pressure. The pressure in tires changes with the weather due to the fact that air expands and contracts with temperature changes, so a seasonal check should be standard. Inspect for damage and foreign objects as well – sometimes, a nail in a tire won't start to leak until riding causes the hole to expand. Spotting things like nails in advance will save you from flats later on.
Before storing your bike, fill up the gas tank and add fuel stabilizer if you're going to keep it in a place without climate control. The top-up will keep air from getting in and causing corrosion. Fuel stabilizer keeps gasoline from becoming acidic or causing lacquering of the engine parts and carb.
If the bike will be stored indoors, for instance in your garage or a self-storage unit, empty the gas tank to lower the risk of fire. Doing this will also keep fumes down, which is important if the garage is attached to the house.
Change the oil at the start of storage or when first taking the bike back out for the season. Make sure the engine is warm when you change it so you get all of the old oil out.
Check the spark plugs at the start of the season and gap them if necessary.
Expect to need to charge the battery after long-term storage. Some use a trickle charger during the off-season to keep the battery at full strength, while others let it drain and then charge it a day or two before they plan to ride. Either way will work as long as it has juice when it needs to.
Check your oil regularly. This will protect the engine and allow you to spot leaks before major problems can develop.
These are just a few tips for maintaining your motorcycle. Other parts generally can be maintained on an as-needed basis. In general, common sense upkeep will keep things running as long as possible. Happy riding!

It was the second home run of the night and Bart Griffiths decided he'd run after another ball after all, he says, it's good exercise. He found the ball and then something else caught his attention.
Griffiths said, "My first thought process was somebody dumped some garbage. So I went to look closer."
When got to the canal, his heart stopped.
"I thought I had a corpse," explained Griffiths.
An older man in a wheelchair had fallen face first into the stream.
"His legs were right here," said Griffiths. "He was face first in the water right here."
Griffiths jumped into the canal and pulled the man out of the water. He had his cell phone and immediately called 911. The man, Griffiths says, was so weak when he found him he could barely lift his head out of the water.
"The paramedics speculated that he had maybe 10 to 15 minutes tops is all he had left to live," Griffiths explained.
The man did survive, but had it not been for that second home run Griffiths says he's afraid to think of what could have happened.
"To be honest with you, we didn't have any games Thursday, this happened Wednesday, no games Thursday, no games Friday, Saturday and I don't think there's much traffic here unless somebody walking along the railroad tracks would have seen something, he could still be here today," said Griffiths.

Raking through the muck
Unfortunately, much of this muckraking story remains mired in muck. Even after the apology, I'm still a tad confuzzled regarding the exact object of the magazine's contrition.
There's been a great brouhaha over the fact that the almightly Newsweek published a story on the basis of a single source. Get real folks. The U.S. administration started an entire war without even a single source and never suffered from pangs of conscience. (An excon with an axe to grind, Chalabi, can't really be called a "source" by any measure.) So the paucity of sources clearly can't be the problem.
Did the source lie? This is possible. In this case, the magazine should clearly be penitent. It exercised somewhat poor judgment. Of course, other similar news stories, along with numerous nitwit natter heard among servicemen decrying the Muslim heathen, would give us every reason to believe that such things happen. People shoving baseball bats up teenagers' butts or piling prisoners into naked piles may (just perhaps maybe) lack a certain sensitivity to religious diversity. But rumors, and rumors of rumors, do not a good story make.
Do the Newsweek people still believe their story? This is perhaps the most damning alternative. In this case, they are simply knuckling under because some sensational news--designed to stimulate their sales--may in fact hurt their sales. If this is true, the reporters and editor deserve condemnation from both the left and the right.
Was the Newsweek article the chief cause of rioting and deaths in the Muslim world? Those who believe this need to lay off the Afghan poppies. The Muslim world's distrusts and hatred of the West has long been a-simmering. Those seeking to focus this resentment, transforming thoughts into deeds, grab onto any incident that comes their way as the latest cause cé·lè·bre. Decades of local corruption and Western collusion have created a vast stretch of political oil slicks just waiting for some sparks to ignite them. The Newsweek article is simply the latest spark. There will be more to come.
Other blogments:
Vox Popoli: Isikoff's decision to risk inspiring this level of violence over something that may never have happened is irresponsibility of a shocking degree.
Ace of Spades: If Newsweek can shoot from the lip and run a thinly, anonymously sourced story just because it "feels right" to them-- then why the f*** can't I?
Paul Marshall: Even if Newsweek publishes a full retraction, the damage is done. Much of the Muslim world will regard it merely as a cover-up and feel reconfirmed in the view that America is at war with Islam. It will undercut the U.S., including in Afghanistan and Iraq, far more than Abu Ghraib did.
Scared Monkeys: I think that Isikoff and Barry should sent over to the areas that are rebelling and see the results of their work. Maybe personal interviews with the families that lost loved ones because they rushed a story.
Emigre with Digital Cluebat: "Newsweek Lied--People Died" is not just a catchy slogan, it's a truism.They did not hold to the basic journalistic standards, and as a result, at least 15 people have DIED, hundreds more have been injured, and international relations have been set back at least a year.
Gateway Pundit: This sloppy news service has spat on the beautiful land that Timothy John Clifford, my Great Grandfather escaped to back in the late nineteenth century from Ireland, so that he wouldn't starve.
The Poor Man: There is little reason to doubt the substance of Newsweek's story (the US is fine with torturing suspects to death - why wouldn't they mess with a book?), and Newsweek hasn't admitted any significant error.
Larry J.: Bush may not be Jewish but the man and his minions have taken Chutzpah to new heights.
The sanest response I came across was that of Cul over on Ratboy's Anvil:
I say to the Muslims who would kill people over such a thing...f*** you, you morons...you're as bad as the xtian monsters who kill abortionists thinking they are doing God a favor. Its a f**king book! Grow up!
And last but not least, there's an article on The Raw Story (via Cut to the Chase) that begins:
Contrary to White House assertions, the allegations of religious desecration at Guantanamo published by Newsweek May 6 are common among ex-prisoners and have been widely reported outside the United States, Raw Story has learned.
Several former detainees at the Guantanamo and Bagram airbase prisons have reported instances of their handlers sitting or standing on the Quran, throwing or kicking it in toilets, and urinating on it.
Where the Newsweek report likely erred was in saying that the U.S. was slated to acknowledge desecrating the Quran in internal investigations, and in relying on a single anonymous source to make grave allegations. But reports of desecration are manifold.
The article ends with numerous links to overseas articles reporting desecration of the Koran.

And what was BushCo's response?..."Newsweek tarnished the image of America"....
Now let's take a look at the credibility of this administration's information gathering and stories, and the resulting deaths....
America's image has already been tarnished....His hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me....

Is it possible to dirty dirt? Does rust rust? Can one tarnish the tarnished? Where's Dylan when we need him? There's a song here somewhere.

Which came first...the deed, the reporting of the deed, or the Administration's indignation?
I have read so many versions of this story that I have to surmise it has been the product of evolution rather than mere creation.
Once again, I am mentally prodded to wonder what else has been close to discovery to prompt the Administration to raise such a fuss about something that had been widely reported previously.
The Newsweek team was banking on the officials they vetted the story through...unfortunately, the Pentagon and the White House were once again in different ball parks.
Will we never learn? - 5/17/2005
- Glen Dean said...
Newsweek and the American left wanted this story to be true. The media always sides with the terrorists in a he said/ she said type of issue. What is so telling about this whole affair is how Newsweek had no idea that this kind of thing could happen. They totally do not understand these religious fantatics in the Muslim world.

So Newsweek is a Marxist magazine. Who would have known? They disguise themselves so well.

We stayed on the middle level, which doesn't have it's own spa or plunge pool, but balcony still features an outdoor kitchen and dining table, and the communal pool area was sufficient for our needs.

I was thrilled to FINALLY film with my amiguita (friend) Marysol, and by the way, we spoke about many more important things than Karent as well.
I was also excited to participate with Lea, Adriana, and Joanna at Lea's Committee Meeting. Unfortunately, Karent's name was brought up again.
Until next time, I'll leave you with this thought:
"An ounce of practice is worth tons of preaching"
God Bless!
Besos (kisses),
Follow me on Twitter @AlexiaE_says
Watched you guys and You are a mean girl. You have never given Karent a chance you. You love destroying her. You should be ashamed of yourself . You made sure to tell everyone what you were planning on embarrassing her you had to watch her face in front of all the witches ops women that her man was cheating. Karma karma I hope someone does the same to you . See how you would like it. Bet you never do that again. What kind of example are you to your kids Bullying another person. If you really were doing this for her own good you would have done it in private. Bullies never win.. Get a life and stop trying to ruin someone else's .
I've watched, listened, observed and tried to drink it all in. I mean really, to me it was so obvious that Adriann, Marisol, Anna as well as yourself, are very immature women, so sad. You are all educated women, what is up with you lades? It embarrssed me as a woman to see you four women act this way. Including the talking behind peoples backs, not cool. You should be portraying strong, powerful Latina women, your are on national tv seen by millions of people. I know you ladies feel Karent is this and that, but really it doesn't appear this way on the programs I have watched. Behavior was immature on both parties, but you ladies were the extreme and seemed to be the ones wanting to push poor Karent. Also, why would you try to attack her at your home after giving her a warm invite. If that was not conivving and "Mean Girl" I don't know what is. My God help you.
Oh...you weren't even there and we all know you obsessively hate Karent. Stop being entitled..there is more to respect about Karent who has a successful career and makes her own money than alot of you. How about you try and get to know her on an individual basis instead of relying on the backhanded talking of Ana and Adrianna. Now that would make you the bigger person....let's see if you can get there this season.
Karent showed her true colors tonight ! even Joe Francis showed class when he said he "dated" both sisters, here comes Karen who met Joe a minute ago Joanna weeks ago and feel its her duty to confront her in front of her fiance? with Joe Francis her new bff in hand ! prior to that sh felt it was her duty to make Marisol feel bad for wearing fur? poor misunerstood Karent she wants to be relevant in every scene ! who asks a man you jut met who he sleeps wth ? innocent karent does !
Karent didn't just ask him about sleeping with Joanna. It was said in front of her and she asked him to confirm it. She then said it in front of Joanna to make her friend aware of it; something none of the other women did. As women, I would have expected at least one to tell that little boy (he definitely isnt a man) to stop airing out a woman's private life. Instead every one of them enjoyed every moment of that classless act. I cannot believe that what is suppose to be a circle of classy women would entertain the comments of a clown who constantly demoralizes women.
Alexis, hope your son is doing better!! You are great!! You are a 100% on, re: Karent..she is such a trouble maker...she starts everything then steps back and watches it unfold...Thank you for telling her you. See what's gong on! Joanna isn't the brightest bulb and doesn't get what's happening...Karent is working on Marta... Lisa is to busy trying to get Lea in her. Corner, she is desperate to be Lea, but she can be a mean girl... Can't figure Ana, she is very friendly with Joanna..???? Jury out with Ana... You, Adrianna, Marysol stick together...
Alexia, I don't understand your comments regarding Karent and the new ladies. What exactly does it mean that they don't know their place. Unfortunately you have come across as being arrogant and just to let you know, people who have to put other people down are just showing their insecurities and jealousies. Why do you feel you are better than Karent? Do you feel you are in a higher social level? What place should she take if she doesn't know her place?
Love you Alexia you are the most loyal and most genuine person on this show. Keep up the great work! Might i add i loved seeing you rip Karent a new on because she clearly deserved it. I don't care who says what about class and this and that. we are all human and when enough is enough we explode.. and you handled yourself very well besos!
Karent sure likes to stir the pot. In her interview she also says don't kill the messenger? What? No one sent her to insult Marysol she went on her own. She likes to hid behind her fake smile and her friends even though she's throwing them under the bus. She's a trouble maker and not good for the show. You are right about her. I also think it was classless of her to bring up your son at the other party. That was a low blow. I'm sure you weren't happy about that. She just doesn't know when to shut up.
I agree with all you ladies. I see it. Karen is a uncomforable. She doesn't know how to act in social gatherings.
Honestly, I don't think motherhood would be a good fit for me but the way I see you love and care for your children, I am so inspired!
Also, watching you "go Cuban" on Karent was probably some of the best two minutes I have ever seen on reality T.V. SERIOUSLY!!! I felt bad for her because she was totally scared but at the same time was totally impressed at how you managed to articulate what so many viewers fed up with her insidious behavior were feeling! Be proud, no one can ever call you two-faced ;)
Lifewise, I can't really identify with you but I totally respect the woman that you are, strong and confident and wise ;) It's super disheartening to find so many Karent-lovers commenting on your page but I'm sure half of them have been hired by her publicist to do so because otherwise, what functioning human being who does NOT suffer from megalomaniacal delusion would ever think ANY of that behavior is okay!?!
you are such a spoiled brat....leave karent alone!!!!!!!!!!!! just don't like you!
i can stand the mixed up he/ she thats lisa's friend throwing people in pool,why are we watching transvestites and not the housewives and andreana alexa and marisol lets get rid of those classless women and get real housewives PLEASE
Alexia.. stop attacking Lisa.. You snark and snipe with Adriana but Lisa cannot make her remarks? You are a major bully.
Ok. Enough already with the Karent drama. You guys eat, drink and sleep Karent. Your blog would be pretty short and boring I guess without her name in your mouth. What do you want her to do to "earn" her place in "your" world. You all make mistakes We all do. Don't just point out all of Karents.
You (and your son) are in my prayers.
Again, what did Karent do to you again?????
Alexia I glad you asked Karent to leave your event. Lisa should've done the same, as soon a Karent gor there she started the trouble by approaching Marysol about her jacket she told her it was because of Joanna whatever. Then with Joe fransci she asked him if you slep with them and he said yes and that wasn't enough she brought Joanna and Romain to make the shit even bigger. Watch out for Karent she nothing but troiuble. Then she stands back with her fake smile and acts like she's not in the fight, no but she started the whole thing. Watch out for her. She is so wrong for this show. Tell bravo to kick her off.
I don't understand all this 'you have to earn your place' nonsense. If you don't like someone, don't hang out with them. It seems like Karent has plenty of friends and has an established business as a celebrity dentist in Miami. I don't see people running away from her when she wants a photo. Just because someone is smiling and excitable doesn't mean they are fake. If Karent is being invited to fancy charity parties (I doubt she is crashing them), she must have 'earned' esteem in someone's eyes.
I just don't get it...what did karent do that you guys hate her so much? It's sad to watch 40 year old women act this way. You guys are the definition of mean girls.
I personally do not believe there was any problem with Karent standing up for her friend, JoAnna. J. Francis had made the comment under his breath as he was turning his head to the side about "sleeping with both of them" and Karent was simply repeating, "so you slept with them"? If someone was spreading lies about my friend, I too would let them know. As for Karent addressing MarySol, I would have probably just left that alone and just let JoAnna deal with it on her own because Karent really had no business approaching MarySol about it.
Alexia, You were not at the event, don't need your secondary comments.
I would love to know what Karent did to you. You jumped in a conversation that was none of your business. You were wrong and need to focus on your personal life.
Dreid123 I agree Dreid 123, 100%. Might I also add here that at no point in time did I think that Karent was saying anything hurtful when she said that she held you and your son in her prayers. Alexia, you were out of order!
Chelzz Dreid123 I agree with both of you 100%!!! That was definitely wrong of Alexia to shut Karent down and ask her to leave when Karent had said she prayed for her son!!! Alexia should let your lawyer friend fight her own battles, she has you to hyped up about her situation. You also stuck up for Adriana, wrong move, she is a trouble-maker!! You should stop listening to everyone else complain about Karent and get to know her for yourself!!! Adriana acts like she owns Karent because SHE brought her to the show, please!!!! Bullies!!!!
Sounds to me like you need to work on your sangria and self. So grab a glass and have a think in the corner, on your patio, on your own.
Rockerman Well said...well said.. Haha!
You're not part of the cast anymore but you sure are everywhere when the cameras role....
Militarywife808 What are you talking about? She is part of the cast.
Skygirl Militarywife808 she's not officially part of the cast, she doesn't even have an intro like the other girls..the picture of this season's RHOM doesn't have alexis in it....it's funny how she wants karent to earn her place when alexis herself doesn't have a place in the official pic of RHOM
Can you speaks without using your hands so much.? The way you put them in Karents face when you told her off (for saying she sent you support for your son) was rude.
Good luck to you
blah b;ah blah
Alexia I feel that you are spot on about Karent! We are not supposed to judge and I am fully aware that these shows only give maybe one fourth of what is actually going on in every scene\situation! This is my 1st time watching RHOM & I love it & all, well most of the ladies! There are a select few who I find to be extremely successful, driven, and beautiful women mostly, but their catty, gossipy personalities just do not do it for me! Their immaturity & lack of ability to see both sides is simply annoying, so I totally get where you are coming from Alexia. Trust me, there are people out there that see what you & the other awesome women see!!! My thoughts and prayers continue for your son, you, & your family!
CSquaredMom What show are you watching? Alexia is part of the mean girl brigade.....trying to stay relevent amongst the new girls. She was boring last season and is still boring this season, which is why she was demoted to part time cast member.
I really don't think you should comment on others after the way you acted last week! We watched the show don't need your spin on it. You define the word "mean girl".
Broken record.
You are just a women that keeps it 100%, love and respect that you are honest, and you dont take s*** from no one, blessing to you and your family..Bendiciones.xoxo
Alexia, I saw exactly what you saw in this episode. As a viewer I am well aware that there are other things "<lost footage> that we dont see. Honestly, the comments I have seen defending Karent is hogwash. No one would want to deal with her.
To begin with, the party was NOT hosted by Joanna. When Marysol walked in with her outfit for the party Karent had no business provoking Joana to get upset over someone else's outfit. Had Joana hosted the breast cancer benefit, then by all means, yes it would have been inapproriate to wear her sash.
Joe bragging about sleeping with both sisters? Well, He is a douchebag for not keeping that information to himself BUT we would have never known that he did if Karent wouldnt have asked him. I am almost positive by then everyone was liquored up and once the alcohol kicks in it becomes a truth serum along with stubborness. Joe only mentioned on his own he dated both of the ladies. Had Karent not ask him his further involvement, I dont think the arguements we saw would have ever happened,
For those who are sticking up for Karent and trust me I have nothing against her, I think she is a nice girl but her trying too hard to be overly nice is causing problems among everyone,
Wow, you really are completely clueless.
All Karent did was make a remark about fur and stick up for her friend and you say all this against her? You are just looking for things to criticize Karent about! It looks like the only way for you to stop bashing Karent is if she stops smiling and says nothing. What is wrong with you, seriously?
I gotta watch out for people like you in the real world!
You take a few comments and focus on those as "inspiring" but turning away to the fact that others think you are nothing but a mean girl. Yes, Karent has her faults - all the housewives do - but you seem to try to justify your mean ways. Why don't you own up to yours? Another hypocrite!
I'm confused, are you a RHW this season? Because you have not been labeled as one by Bravo. I'm not being snarky, I'm just confused.
So who would you blame? Was it necessary for her to run over to Marysol to tell her that joanna doesn't like her wrap...huh? Who is joanna that marysol should care how she feels about her wrap? Was it necessary for Karent to ask joe francis if he slept with her friend? No, but why not be totally invasive and start trouble? And then to bring joe over to joanna to confront her in front of her fiance is completely wrong, classless and embarrasing to her so called "friend". Everything Alexia said is absolutely right about this woman.
Mrs.Saunders11It's so clear that Karent is WAY above Adriana and Alexia in looks, brains, and charm. I like Ana and feel she and Karent could be friends if Ana would stop talking about Karent's boyfriend and trying to be in w/ Adriana and Alexia.
You seemed obsessed with trying to make everyone dislike Karent, but the opposite is happening, we are disliking you and your mean girl friends....
I love you Alexia , and you do speak the truth, she did ask Joe did you sleep with both of them ?
You sure sound like a mean person. And I thought we did not have a class system in the United States. I think Karent's place is anywhere she wants it to be.
Karent is a piece of work. It is pretty apparent she is a social piranha. You were spot on about how she handled the conversation with Joe Fancis . Do not waste another blog on this girl - we have her number and it is a waste of your good energy. Fight the good fight .
Would that be a social pariah you were aiming for? As in social outcast.
Piranhas are a type of fish. They bite. If Adriana were a fish, she'd be a piranha.
Rockerman Bonz25
ADRIANA=PIRANHA Love it!! GREAT ANALOGY!!!
Rockerman - Karent leads with her teeth and is socially aggressive hence the analogy - social Piranha.

The Wolfsonian-FIU is reliable for putting up surprising exhibits, and the museum has done it again its current pair. They're surprising not because they veer far from what we've come to expect from this unique museum — that is, artworks, decorative pieces, graphic designs and textiles from the late 19th century and the first part of the 20th. But Postcards of the Wiener Werkstätte and Describing Labor both tell the stories of entire movements and eras in a novel way, with real character to their presentations.
On the top floor, more than 300 postcards from fin de siècle Vienna have been picked out from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection by New York's Neue Galerie, and complemented by printed materials, textiles and ceramics from the Wolfsonian. They come from an avant-garde group of artists, graphic and fashion designers, marketers, architects and furniture makers who flourished in the heady days of 1900 to 1919 in Austria during the Weiner Werkstätte — or Vienna Workshop. Many of them concentrated on making the small cards both as works of art and for advertising purposes.
This was an electric era in which coffeehouses and cabarets first popped up as leisure centers and catalysts for cultural exploration. The Deco designs, the caricatures, the fashionable hats, the particular fonts printed and painted on the cards should look familiar, as that time forged a distinct look.
Familiar too will be some of the artists associated with the group, such as Oskar Kokoschka, Josef Hoffman and Egon Schiele (Schiele's mentor Gustav Klimt, however, was not a member, though his influence is everywhere). What they produced are really postcards from an era, letting us in on the vibrant intellectual and musical trends that were swirling around, often with a lot of wit but also with a hint of foreboding. Perhaps they knew the frivolity would not last forever.
So here is an Expressionistic ad for the hugely popular cabaret Die Fledermaus, with music by Johann Strauss. The caricature of a writer at the Weiner Café is classic: disheveled with long hair, sitting on a floral print couch with his striped socks and yellow shoes untied, he is of a specific time and place, and yet completely universal. Some of the depictions of the fat bourgeois men would become standard in the German Expressionist paintings made later, between the wars.
Interspersed throughout are wonderful examples of the textile craft of the period, which aimed to erase the lines between high and low art and to create gesamtkunstwerk, or a "total work of art" from production to finished object or fabric. Another major German movement, the Bauhaus, would base its aesthetics and mission around similar principles.
Another blurred distinction in this exhibit is the one between genders — here are ample examples of works, designs and paintings from women, revealing their relative prominence. In that world, women didn't just wear fashion and use jewelry boxes — they made them, too.
Although all the pieces are small-scale and unobtrusive, they expose the huge changes that were bubbling up in this critical period in Vienna (and Paris) that would reshape the world. Notions of class and equality were challenged, as were the boundaries of acceptability in all cultural realms. And of course, modern art was busy being born.

B A+F Off-Campus Dining: The off campus dining at BC is great, the city of Boston is at your fingertips. We have some good local restaurants closer to newton (a walk or bus ride away) but you can get anywhere in the city via the T, and Newbury Street is just a half hour T ride away.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: There is a strip of restaurants close to BC that I like to go to. Fin's, the sushi place, is to die for. There's also a chipotle nearby and a lot of places deliver.
B A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are some really amazing options around, including El Pelon, a Mexican place that is run by this guy with a crazy beard (what the restaurant is named after).. There are a couple of locations but the BC one is always full of students and serves some amazing burritos and platos. They also do a lot of events with the on-campus clubs to help them raise money, and it's cool. If you go often enough, the people start to remember your name... There's also a great ice cream place that makes their ice cream in house called White Mountain, a Dunkin, a City Convenience, a Crazy Dough's pizza, and a Flatbreads place. If you take the campus shuttle or get a car on campus, then you can easily get to Chipotle, Fin's Sushi, Eagle's Deli, Starbucks also. There's a 24 hour convenience store in Cleveland Circle also which is great for the drunk munchies after getting out of Mary Ann's or Cityside (bars).
A- A+F Off-Campus Dining: Depends on how far you want to travel off-campus from Boston College. Boston is a city with a HUGE and GREAT variety of foods, but if you only want to go a little bit off campus, you only have a couple of options. You've got ice cream, pizza, sushi, Chipotle, Starbucks, some great American food at Eagle's Deli and a couple other nearby eats that are good quality, but get a little tired if you eat out a lot. However if you're wiling to venture a little farther away, you have a seemingly infinite number of places you could eat that all seem to be of top quality.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: Locate along the B, C and D lines, any type of food imaginable is not too far out of the way. Cleveland Circle has multiple options for eating, and a lot of businesses deliver to BC. Eagle's Deli is a local favorite that offers great burgers and sandwiches. It was also featured on Man vs. Food.

You'll find more than your fair share of scrumptious eateries in Boston. Plant eaters take note: Vegan and vegetarian restaurants aren't as available here as in California or New York. However, a new sushi restaurant recently opened in Cleveland Circle, providing a fresh alternative to burgers and pizza. Fresh seafood, surprisingly flavorful Mexican, and incredible Italian food can be found within walking distance from campus. Commonwealth Avenue runs adjacent to campus, and you can find a couple of above-average eateries there. Flatbreads serves amazing sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The wrap-maker there is a wizard at making sandwiches efficiently and effectively. On the other side of the T depot is Mr. G's College Sub Shop, which certainly isn't Subway, but isn't a bad alternative to eating in the dining hall either. Espresso Royale Caffe has great pastries and an enjoyable atmosphere.
Travel a few minutes on the T down to Cleveland Circle, and you'll find several delicious off-campus dining establishments. Roggie's has an incredible atmosphere. CitySide Bar & Grille is the real gem of Cleveland Circle, with incredible salads, huge entrees, and a fantastic upstairs deck swarming with people, especially during the warmer months. Cleveland Circle is also home to Thai food, wraps, three competing pizza joints, and Eagle's Deli, which is a favorite of Boston College students, many of whom stumble in on the weekends blurry-eyed, hung over, and in desperate need of complex carbohydrates. Eagle's Deli never disappoints, and the Godzilla burger is exactly as it sounds: a monster. Check out the photos on the wall of all those who have attempted finishing the Godzilla. It's Guinness Book material!

About the Book
The four Gospels are filled with demands from Jesus. These demands are Jesus' way of showing us who he is and what he expects of us. They are not harsh demands originating from a selfish desire to control, but rather loving directions for our good and ultimate satisfaction. In fact, what Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as: "Trust and treasure me above all." This is good news!
In What Jesus Demands from the World, John Piper looks at the demands of Jesus as found in the four Gospels. He begins with an introduction that puts the demands in a redemptive-historical context, then engages in a concise examination of each. The result is an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as a refreshing reminder for more mature believers of God's plan for his Son's glory and our good. Now available in paperback.

"This is now my favorite book by John Piper. In the best tradition of Adolf Schlatter's Do We Know Jesus? and his 'hermeneutic of perception,' What Jesus Demands from the World has changed my life and will certainly change yours because it is based on the pure words of Jesus as revealed in the four Gospels. A must-read for every true follower of Christ." —Andreas J. Kostenberger, Senior Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology; Director of Ph.D. Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"This book is a special gift from the pen of John Piper. How long has it been since you carefully reflected upon the authoritative commands of Christ? Through these pages you will encounter the Savior and experience the transforming effects of the gospel. Few endeavors are more worthy of your time." —C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries
"Scholars, popularists, and now even novelists are falling over each other today in a blind passion to discover an alternative Jesus to the One so magnificently portrayed in the biblical Gospels. In stark and refreshing contrast John Piper clear-sightedly grasps the obvious—the biblical Jesus is worth living for and dying for." — Sinclair B. Ferguson, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina
"This is a peculiar book. It assumes that the four Gospels are true and unified. It assumes that Jesus not only does things for us but also makes demands of us. And it assumes that Jesus has authority over everyone regardless of their religion, gender, race, income, sexuality, nationality, or culture. You will likely not agree with every point. But you will hear from a Jesus who is more than a soft-spoken, effeminate, marginalized, Galilean hippie-peasant in a dress and has the peculiar notion that he alone is Lord." —Mark Driscoll, Founding Pastor, Mars Hill Church, Seattle; President, the Resurgence
"The Christian gospel is more than just a wonderful offer of saving grace; it is a demand for supreme loyalty, for surrender to the lordship of Jesus. We forget this too easily in our contemporary church, besieged as we are by a philosophy of pluralism that rejects ultimate authority and a culture of rights that scorns submissiveness. But John Piper reminds us of the real truth: obedience to Christ's commands is our absolute duty; yet, paradoxically, in his service is perfect freedom and joy!" —William J. U. Philip, Minister, St. George's-Tron Church, Glasgow, Scotland
"John Piper reveals in his 'Word to Biblical Scholars' his familiarity with the literature and subject matter of the life and teachings of Jesus, and in his comments on the individual demands of Jesus he applies them to everyday living." —Robert H. Stein, Senior Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Bohemia upset over Codemasters calling Op Flash: Dragon Rising a sequel
Bohemia Interactive is upset over Codemaster's calling Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising a sequel.
Bohemia developed the original war sim, but Codemasters retained the rights to the name when the two companies split well into Op Flash 2′s development.
Be that as it may, Bohemia's Marek Spanel is still a tad irate over the Codemasters game – being created in direct competition to Bohemia's ArmA II – being called a "true sequel".
"In the license agreement, Bohemia Interactive expressly reserved the exclusive right to develop sequels to the original OFP game," says Bohemia's attorney, Leora Herrmann.
"Codemasters also acknowledged that Bohemia owns all the intellectual property in the game – except the words 'Operation Flashpoint'."
Spanel added: "We can't stop Codemasters from releasing a game using the words Operation Flashpoint," he said.
"But it is not right to promote this game as the 'official sequel to the multi-award winning Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis' or the 'return' of Bohemia Interactive's 'genre-defining military conflict simulator.'
"The awards were given for the game created by Bohemia Interactive – not to a name."
Codemasters has actually dropped the "2″ from its game's title.
Full drama detailed in the press release below.

Weber Wins the Luxist Awards' Readers' Choice Award for Best Grill
Never underestimate what a man will do for steak. In the case of George Stephen, Sr., what started out as an attempt to protect precious meat eventually turned into the company now known as Weber, the winner of the Luxist Readers' Choice Award in the best grills category.
Stephen's inspiration came in 1952. Frustrated by the windblown flames emanating from his open backyard grill-and the resulting impact on his steaks-he decided to take matters into his own hands. He headed over to Weber Brothers Metal Works, his place of employment, and created the prototype of the dome-shaped grill that would become Weber's trademark product.
Though nearly 100 million American households now have outdoor grills, the market hadn't yet exploded when Stephen invented his strangely-shaped contraption, which was pricey ($50) compared to the standard open grill ($7). His friends made fun of him-until Stephen's invention started selling. By the late 1950s the product was so successful that Stephen was able to buy his employer's factory and devote it to producing cooking surfaces.

When the mooche and moochettes give autographs at the funeral.. They can use that poor child´s casket for a desk.. Disgusting mourners half time spectacle,
Moocie and the press will make sure it is about her. Watch for the photo´s and fashion write ups. Will she still be wearing the wig?
Standing on the bodies of the dead young; that´s what liberals do best. If it isn´t aborted babies, it´s murdered kindergardeners or murdered high school honor students.When will the scales fall from the eyes of the American people?
Had to forfeit her law license, now the first bowling pin is a "political ambulance chaser!"
Will Mooch be wearing something that looks like upholstery or a disco outfit?
And where was the first lady for all the other funerals of murder victims in Chicago this year, or last year, or the year before that?
In other words, the Obama Regime will be barging in on this girl´s funeral and family´s grief.Let me give you another example. A couple years ago, a local state rep who had served for years and had many friends -- locally, in the state, and among them, President G W Bush (who had by then left office), passed away.President Bush personally called the widow with his condolences and was invited to the funeral. He declined, saying that the security and other impositions that his appearance would require, would not allow their family to have the rememberance they would desire.But when it comes to the Obamas and the Clintons, move away. We´re coming and we´re in charge!
The family of the young teen should have politely requested that Michelle and all other politicians not attend the funeral. They didn´t know the young girl nor her family - this is just another disgusting photo-op.
The First Ghoulstress
Put the Federal officials and their security retinue as far back as possible. They don´t belong at that funeral and the crew will upset the proceedings. Its about the deceased girl and her family and friends, not about THEM.
Mom Cleopatra hauled Mooch to the open casket viewing and collapsed into Mooch´s arms, wailing.I may be sick.
Hopefully someone will call her husband out on enforcing gun laws... instead of 93% of Chicago gun criminals walking free.
The one thing the Obamas do best is exploit children.
Make ready the three chair combo by the casket...
Will Beyonce be performing?
Recall that then Governor Bush did not go to the funeral of that poor black man who was dragged to death by some thugs in Texas. Mr. Bush was criticized & hated by the blacks because he was ´not showing respect´ by turning the funeral into a political carnival. Emotional theatrics & fake weeping is too often the expected norm for funerals in some black communities.

Four years ago, Nine Inch Nails played a farewell tour—but the band isn't saying goodbye yet. The band, including new guitarist Adrian Belew and bassist Eric Avery, is planning to tour this year and next. "The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014," frontman Trent Reznor said, per Rolling Stone. "The band is reinventing itself from scratch," he notes in a statement at Pitchfork.

It's like Mom's. The only difference is that Mom put grated cheese. I added 3 or 4 oz. and it tasted like I remembered. Thanks a bunch.

I found this recipe in a "Bonus Book" that came with my TOH magazine in June, 2006. I am not a potato salad fan, but my husband is. I have changed my tune, though. This recipe is AWESOME. I have made this over and over and will never make any other recipe. My friends request this potato salad for any function we attend. Thank you, Nancy, for a SUPER potato salad recipe!!

In the Rive Gauche (left bank) of the river is the old town, which extends around the lively Bourg-de-Four square, the oldest of Geneva. Nearby there is the Hotel de Ville (City Hall), a building of XV century and next to it, the old arsenal and the Maison Tavel, XII century, the oldest house in Geneva, nowadays a museum. The Cathédrale St-Pierre, in the Gothic style, was built during the XII and XIII centuries, but in XVIII century a neoclassical facade was added. It is possible to go up to the top of the tower and enjoy a very good view of the city. Geneva also has a large number of museums.
To the south of the old town, near the lake, there is the Jardin Anglais, famous for its floral clock and the Jet d'Eau an impressive fountain (in the lake) whose jet reaches 140 meters.
On the Rive Droite (right bank) there is the international district, centered on the Place des Nations, which are close to most international locations. Worth the Musée International de la Croix-Rouge. There also is in this area the Palais des Nations (UN headquarters) and a large botanical garden.

I wasn't referring to the bus accident, I was referring to the single car accident. With a bus full of kids I would understand the need for 20 officers but 20 officers for a one car accident seems a bit excessive. I am not one to criticize police officers and ems, but 20 police officers for a one car accident is a bit much. Go back and look at my comments, I am not like some on here who constantly bash the police.
What's wrong with LE going to check on one of their own? Stand in the shoes first.

When it comes to politics, everybody is an asshole. Even when you think you are on the "correct" side. Even if you think the other side is evil or stupid or what is wrong with the country. It makes you look like an asshole who should shut the fuck up. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Just remember that when you speak or type. Hell, I might get flack from this for not caring about "THIS BUSINESS COUNTRY" or piss someone off. I don't need to wave my political beliefs in front of you because that shit is personal. And I can tolerate* you waving your political beliefs down my throat.
*Please note that tolerate is not the same as liking.

I'd like to wish all my readers a blessed Easter!
Today I will be spending Easter at church service in the morning and a small family meal in the early afternoon. We also celebrated Easter yesterday with all the kids because some of them will be gone today with their other parents. Because the kids are older, I didn't bust out with the Easter baskets. I just bought two gifts a piece for them and we all spent the day at the campground. Jason grilled bourbon marinated chops for lunch and supper was a feast of fish from the blue gill we had caught. All the kids fared well while fishing, with Juliann catching the most at twenty.
Happy Easter! He Is Risen!

In order for RWU students to declare Education as a major, they must present evidence of having met the basic skills requirement as determined by the Rhode Island Department of Education (R.I.D.E.). The basic skills requirement can be met in the following ways:
Test Name | Passing Score |
Praxis I PPST or C-PPST |
Math 179 Reading 179 Writing 177 Composite score of 535 with no test score more than 3 points below the cut |
1150 Composite 530 Verbal 530 Math |
24 Reading 20 Math |
1100 Composite with no less than 465 Verbal and 584 Quantitative |
On-going Performance Assessment Requirements
The School of Education uses a Performance Assessment System to monitor and evaluate student progress. As part of that system, students develop and maintain an assessment portfolio that is reviewed at each level of the curriculum:
Level I: Exploring the Profession – freshman year
Level II: Preparing to Teach - sophomore and junior years
Level III: Performing in the Classroom- senior year
The performance assessment is one of many measures the School of Education uses to evaluate students' progress toward meeting the Rhode Island Professional Teaching Standards (RIPTS). Matriculation in the program is contingent upon successful performance assessment reviews.
Throughout their programs students plan, develop and experiment with instructional materials and strategies in both the University classroom and public school settings. As students proceed through coursework, they build their performance assessment portfolios, self-assess their pedagogical knowledge and skills and set goals aligned with the RIPTS. Performance assessment evaluations are used to determine whether students are progressing toward meeting the standards and are used to move students from one curriculum level to another. In addition, education students must achieve a GPA of 2.75 or higher to enter Curriculum Level III: Performing in the Classroom.
Field experiences are required in all courses. The Elementary and Secondary programs include a minimum of 100 hours of Practicum and one full semester (14 weeks) of Student Teaching. During Student Teaching, students also enroll in a Student Teaching Seminar.
The State of Rhode Island requires all applicants for certification in Elementary and Secondary Education to pass the state licensure examination(s). Students typically take the licensure examination(s) before they matriculate to Curriculum Level III.
If students show evidence of meeting the basic skills requirement within one semester of sophomore year, they may declare Elementary Education (certification track) or change their major.
If students show evidence of meeting the basic skills requirement within one semester of sophomore year, they may declare Secondary Education (certification track).
*The Educational Studies Major degree does not lead to teacher certification.

Treble Cone's Closing Day
Oct 5th 2009The cold temperatures coupled with over 20 cm of fresh snow created mid-season conditions for Treble Cone's Closing Day.
- Views: 5553
- Comments: 0
Wanaka, New Zealand - JULY 14th, 2009 – Avalanche Danger remains high around Wanaka and Queenstown due to high winds and heavy snow fall. Treble Cone has been very vigilant with their avalanche control in all of their in-bounds terrain and has kept the backcountry closed due to the high danger. On Tuesday morning TC Patrol began Helicopter Bombing throughout the Saddle Basin taking extra precaution due to the heavy snow; 20 - 40 cm of fresh last night.
Over the past two weeks storm cycles have brought about 85 cm of fresh snow to Treble Cone. During this time period patrol has been monitoring the conditions attentively and making judgment calls on the day's procedures before 6:00 AM. "We are fortunate to have such an experienced crew of patrollers fluent in a variety of avalanche control techniques including ski-cutting, hand charges and Heli-Bombing" said Rosco Davies, Field Operations. Avalanche danger remains high in the backcountry and Treble Cone Patrol has kept the gates closed focusing their efforts on safety inbounds first.
With the Patrol Team's perseverance, everyone has been able to safely enjoy nearly two weeks of powder in Treble Cone's infamous in-bounds terrain. "These are some of the best conditions I have seen in my time skiing at Treble Cone. Our goal is to ensure safety but to also get everyone out skiing and riding as much powder as possible" said Tim Hudson. With the storm systems still lined up and the snow continuously falling everyone knows theirs nothing like a powder day up at Treble Cone.
With the South Island's largest vertical descent, the most terrain and longest groomed trails, Treble Cone is New Zealand's premier alpine resort. 360 degree views of the snow capped Southern Alps, the brilliant blue Lake Wanaka and the rugged Central Otago landscape make this one of the most memorable views of any global resort. Situated on the edge of Lake Wanaka, Treble Cone has established itself as a mecca for all snow enthusiasts both locally and abroad. To find out more please visit treblecone.com.
The cold temperatures coupled with over 20 cm of fresh snow created mid-season conditions for Treble Cone's Closing Day.
The Treble Cone Triple Comp wrapped up this afternoon completing one of the most unique snow sports events in the area. It incorporated all aspects of skiing and snowboarding in a distinctive format that had all participants competing against each other.
