5 Things You Need to Know Before Getting Botox
Botox injections have been used as a cosmetic procedure for more than a decade, with millions of people trying to reduce the number of wrinkles on their faces.

Cats and dogs, while extremely lovable, are not the only choices out there when it comes to selecting a household pet. There are quite a few unusual animals in existence that actually make good, even great companions for their human owners. We're not talking man-eating tigers or wild boars here—there are some limits to just how exotic you should go.
For a country as obsessed with weight and food production as ours is, there tends to be a lot of conflicting information, health-food fads and dietary gimmicks circulating about what and how we should eat.
Some people don't mind handing over their hard-earned cash for some very expensive jewelry. While we have nothing against treating yourself to pricey ornaments on occasion, there are more economical ways to go about procuring a vast inventory of fashionable accessories.
You've heard the expression "There's just not enough time in the day." But what if there was?
Trimming the guest list for a wedding is never easy, so you can only imagine the problem one couple with 25,000 people in attendance faced.
The Indianapolis 500 is the world's largest single-day sporting event. Approximately 400,000 fans will crowd the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend to watch "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" at the 2.5-mile oval track. While drivers average speeds well in excess of 150 miles per hour, sometimes the race comes down to the final lap. Here are the 10 best Indy 500 finishes of all-time:
Water adds so much to a garden. And while ponds and pools are nice, the trickle and splash of an active fountain breathes fresh air and even a bit of a mystical quality into your garden oasis. When it comes to choosing or building a fountain for your garden, there are many options available to you. Some of these options can be quite complex (if you so desire), but they don't have to be.
Sure, college isn't for everyone, but you know what is? A good salary.
The country continues to pray for and help the people devastated by the massive tornado that touched down in Oklahoma on Monday, killing dozens.
A massive tornado touched down just south of Oklahoma City on Monday, killing dozens.
At least seven of those killed were students at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore. The twister, which measured 2 miles at one point, has been given a preliminary classification of an EF-4 tornado (winds of 166 to 200 mph), according to weather officials.
A huge tornado touched down just outside of Oklahoma City earlier today, causing widespread destruction and leaving behind a yet-untold number of casualties.

Notes & Queeries: Change Comes to "The L Word"
Tina, in Season 6, seems to know this. "I don't want to
deprive you of something that's so fundamental to who you are," she tells Bette
in Episode 6.02.
She believes that Bette is defined by certain unmutable
characteristics, just as most of us believe that our personalities are defined
by traits that have solidified by the time we reach adulthood.
That's why we
tell each other, "People don't change," or "Don't try to change her — she won't
But as much as we might want to believe it's true, we don't
remain solid and unchanging all our lives. We've known this since we were
children, but as adults, many of us try to forget it.
Because if you can't
depend on yourself to act in certain ways, who can you depend on?
It's only years later, when you're getting ready for bed at
9 p.m. because you have to go to work at 6 a.m., that you realize you're no
longer that overeager teenager sneaking out at midnight. You've changed, and
it's crept up on you, unnoticed.
Do you remember your senior year in high school? At the end
of the year, when the yearbooks were distributed, we passed them around in a
ritual of remembrance; they would anchor us back in those locker-lined hallways
every time we opened them. In my yearbook, several people wrote "Don't change!"
or "Stay the same!"
Those words were defensive barriers against all the change
that was about to come flooding through our lives.
I think we all knew
somewhere inside ourselves that we could not help but be changed by what was to
come. But those words allowed us to cling to the idea that we could weather the
storm intact, that we would remain the same people we always were.
It's a romantic idea: the solid, unchanging rock in the
storm, secure and stable. But wind and water will still wear away that stone
grain by grain, and a new landscape will eventually emerge.
When I graduated from high school, I could hardly wait for
the change to come. I hated high school and thought that anything would be
better — especially college in far-off
where nobody would have any preconceptions about me.
But when I first arrived, alone with my two suitcases, the
change was so extreme that I found myself longing unexpectedly for the sameness
of high school. It didn't help that my two suitcases got lost on the way from
the airport to the college, and for the first two weeks, I had none of my
clothes with me. By the time my suitcases turned up (misdelivered to the dorm
next door), I had spent two weeks fumbling my way into a new life with only
what I'd brought in my carry-on.
For someone who was already insecure about who she was, having
so few physical reminders of home was very hard.
I remember calling my parents
while sitting in my dorm's living room, looking out the long, tall windows at
the rainy night — yes, it was actually raining — and crying. I had never been
away from home for so long, and because I had wanted so desperately to leave, I
had a hard time recognizing what I was feeling as ordinary homesickness.
But college was expensive, and of course I stayed, and of
course things got better — and my life kept changing. I came out, for one
thing, and though that experience was not exactly fun, ultimately it made all
the difference.
The truth is, so much good can come of change. In reality,
the exhortation to "stay the same" is a ridiculous one.
Why would we wish for
someone to never develop, never move on from a time in their life that was
meant to launch them into something new?
I've been thinking, too, that the end of this season of The L Word — its last —
marks quite a big change. However you feel about the show, it will always have
its place in the lesbian community, and this change on its own might seem
daunting to many fans of the show.
I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel that it's a little bit
comforting to see Bette and Tina and Shane and Alice doing the same things
they've always done. Whatever has happened in our lives over the past six
years, these characters are still there. They have become, for many, a constant
to rely on.
The good thing is, even after The L Word ends, it will still be there for us. It's like that yearbook.
Every time you watch an episode, it brings you back to where you were the first
time you saw it — in your living room, maybe, or surrounded by friends.
Simultaneously, The L
Word has created a major change for us.
We'll never be able to go back to a
time when lesbian characters have never been the leads on a prime-time show. Even
though it is still a struggle to get lesbian characters and story lines on TV,
I can only see The L Word as positive
progress for our visibility.
And when there are no more new L Word episodes, there will be even more room for other visions of
who we are and what we look like.
It is a wide-open landscape out there, full
of possibility.
As we watch Bette continue her struggle over the last few
episodes, I am hoping that she pulls through this time. I hope that, like many
humans who have fought for years against their own bad habits, she finally
turns down the path less taken and embraces the change in herself.

Viva Peace
One sets the article about the Catholic Worker Viva House ("At Your Service," Mobtown Beat, Oct. 8) that serves the poor beside the story of Noel Liverpool Sr. ("All Around Player," Mobtown Beat, Oct. 8)--part of the city's underground economy allegedly involved in crimes that ultimately rip off the poor--and wonders.
My conclusion is that a Catholic or religious upbringing can be a help rather than a hindrance. Some of the most vocal opponents of the peace movement in the '60s were Catholics, but the same Catholicism produced some of the greatest protesters--and right here in Baltimore.
Some in religion take Jesus' message, à la the Sermon on the Mount, to heart--"Blessed are the peacemakers." Others prefer to remain in the Old Testament and argue that we should take an eye for an eye and that that is justice. (Of course one of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt not kill"--I often wonder how fundamentalist warmongers reconcile that?)
Others receive no-nada-zippo education in anything remotely connected to peace and justice.
One wonders how we could proceed to give everyone the same education that teaches justice leading to nonviolence and peace? But I also have secular friends who, without benefit of religion, are committed to changing the world for the better--one worker at a time. One wonders if progress is occurring. But... "take heart." At least some are educated and do have "heart."
Dave Eberhardt
I am reminded ("Shell Game," Feature, Oct. 1) of Mr. Wilkins Micawber from Dickens' David Copperfield and his rueful statement: "Annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 19 pounds 19 shillings and six pence, result happiness. Annual income 20 pounds, annual expenditure 20 pounds and six pence, result misery."
Mr. Micawber spoke from his cell in Marshalsea debtors' prison. Any chance some of the investors featured in your excellent article could join him there for a while?
Mike Willis
I read "Ownership 2008" (Political Animal, Oct. 1), another provocative article by Brian Morton that was a show of organized rhetorical thoughts to explain an impacting current event--John McCain and the failures of Republicanism.
In Mr. Morton's article there was a sentence that appeared mysterious to me: "This viewer was disappointed in one thing--the absence of history."
In my opinion, the presidential debate on Sept. 26 was a historical event that will go down in history. As Aristotle once wrote long ago: "all men think justice to be a sort of equality... Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects... Oligarchy is based on the notion that those who are unequal in one respect are in all respects unequal."
As I saw it, the most serious show of history in the recent first presidential debate was done in a condescending way when John McCain refused to make eye and face-to-face contact with Barack Obama. I saw several disdainful facial expressions from John McCain that irritated my soul. McCain is in a dark place.
I have seen such condescending stares placed on me and other blacks when white folks (bigots) have perceived us America's problem--we blacks seem to be the plank of inferiority in the eyes of certain white folks with a sense of superiority of white-skin prevarication of racism in America. In other words, white conservatives want the races in America to remain "separate and unequal with a togetherness of church and state rights."
In my opinion, John McCain tried his best to bring out the "angry nigger" in Sen. Obama. It did not work. Sen. Obama did not give John McCain, the white Southerner in the audience from Mississippi, and the millions of other people who watched the debate on television a show of an "Amos 'n' Andy nigger" or the "nobody knows the trouble I've seen" down and out hopeless nigger.
I believe we black Americans represent "no" history in America because we are still people who do not count. We are not trusted. We are not sophisticated enough to understand economics or the politics of voting in America. We blacks are nonprivileged citizens in the country, and our pain from racism and poverty kept us in the web of discrimination and disparities.
As I see it, Republicanism is a form of bigotry. The Civil War cannons can still be heard in the South, and white Southerners who are racists want to keep the memory of the old South alive.
Ronald Reagan said he did not need the black votes to win an election. John McCain is saying the same, but using Sarah Palin to utter his secret meanspirited thoughts of bigotry--that's Republican ownership in 2008.

I enjoy reading City Paper, but I'm not always able to get my hands on a copy. The Sept. 24 edition was the first copy I've read in a while.
I was a bit disgusted by the letters to the editor responding to negative reader criticism on ads running in the paper ("Ad Nauseam," The Mail). The "just ignore it if you don't like it" rallying cry is always uttered by people who prefer not to think or to have their deeply held paradigms challenged. Why didn't they just take their own advice and ignore the letters that bothered them?
Oh, wait, that's right. Letters don't make money. Ads do. So in a free-market society that worships dollars, criticizing advertisements will... what? Ruin the economy? That's already happened.
Shame on City Paper for allowing these hypocrites to vent. Next time, tell them to take their own advice and ignore the stuff that bothers them.
Karen Mitchell Carothers
City Paper's Best of Baltimore issue (Sept. 17) included the expected quota of sickening sycophancy toward Baltimore City's government, with genuflections ranging from thanking the city for inflicting a smoking ban on the Mount Royal Tavern that nobody at the tavern wanted, to salaaming Sheila Dixon for allegedly having lowered the murder rate. (Since how she magically achieved this was left unspecified, I'm sticking with my original theory that the reduced carnage represents a lucky break for the mayor that she's trying to take advantage of, as any politician would in a similar situation.)
I note that the listing for the Book Escape as Best Used Bookstore failed to mention that, in another brilliant move, city bureaucrats insisted on store managers removing their "Pay What You Can" book rack from outside the store because it was a safety hazard, or lowering the tone of Federal Hill, or some such nonsense. The city's pretty good at dealing with important issues like outdoor book racks and the terrifying menace of dogs in bars and cafés--you know, really crucial stuff. Housing for the homeless, and schools that teach, and buses that run on time (no Mussolini-style efficiency here) always seem to get short shrift.
As a city employee, I hope City Paper keeps supporting us no matter how badly we screw up. Above all, don't try to mount a systemic attack on government failures the way those hippie-dippy underground papers used to in the '60s and '70s--that might interfere with your mission to keep readers happy and spending, as opposed to angry and thinking.

Canon PowerShot G1 X compact camera
Canon's ever-popular Powershot G-series has a new and exciting addition that promises to expand the line-up rather than just upgrade it. While the new Powershot G1 X keeps some of the looks and features of its predecessor – the G12 – it also departs from previous models in significant ways. Canon PowerShot G1 X compact camera …
"Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
An intentionally provocative statement*, I'd imagine and hope! Is it really the case that the big two are yet to commit to a largish-sensor CSC because their current formats are fundamentally better for being shackled by 35mm silver halide considerations, or because they are frankly sh*t scared about anything that might undercut and undermine their established ecosystems and the status quo? It's really no surprise that it's the companies with no substantial history in 35mm (or, in the case of Olympus, frankly nothing to lose) who are daring to be different, and truly innovative at present. There will always be a place for full-frame dSLRs for those for whom money is no object, but the consumer-level cropped frame EOSes and so on (mostly used more for cachet than technical merit, in fairness) are increasingly looking like bulky anachronisms.
* as this one might be interpreted, also, though spoken from the heart...
Re: "Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
"Once the novelty has worn off" seems like a slightly baffling statement. Maybe people change back to compact cameras after the novelty of a big, heavy, expensive dSLR has worn off? Maybe people start buying EVIL cameras because the novelty of having a lightweight, pocketable compact has worn off and versatility appeals? Maybe the novelty will wear off digital for some people, and they'll go back to a nice 4x5.
The phrase has no useful meaning, and in this specific case I can't see many compelling reasons to move to a G1X from a micro 4/3 device... hell, I never saw many reasons to choose a G-series camera since the S-series was resurrected. The G1X is a device filling a very small niche, and I hope that it is just a placeholder whilst Canon sort their strategy out.
Re: "Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
I think that either you missed the poin that the author was trying to make, or I missed your point :)
I have a 5D, and three Sigma EXDG lenses for various uses, as my main camera and I am really very happy with it.
But... I go on special trips with it, or I set it up for photo shoots at home. It is not something that I can carry arround with me constantly.
Compact cameras on the other hand can be carried around with me, but the quality of the sensors is terrible. Good for web use or snaps but when you get up to poster sized prints you start to see too many artifacts (for me anyway - these things are subjective). And of course you have no control over the shot - it's point and click, exactly what it was designed for - and what my other half likes about their camera.
The new range of CSC provide a nice inbetween step. Small enough to be caried, versatile enough to make some nice shots. Well some of them at least (the Sony NEX range with their larger sensors look interesting, as does the Panasonic range. The Nikon on the other hand produces the same artifacts as the standard compact camera from the shots I have seen as it also uses an extremely small sensor).
But... Do you need the hassle of interchangable lenses on the CSC ranges in order to get the control or quality? If I can get a handbag sized camera with a good lens, sensor and manual controls do I care that I only have the one that it came with? 120mm seems a little short for some of the shots I like to take, but I wonder if I couldlive with it...
Re: "Once the novelty of an interchangeable lens compact has worn off"
Based on anecdotal evidence (ie friends who have bought them), I think the G-series is largely sold to people who like taking pictures and want to do it "more seriously" but are scared off buying a DSLR by the perceived "complexity" (or to some extent the cost). This is in contrast to EVIL which tends to be bought by people who would have bought a DSLR before EVIL existed but prefer the form-factor. That is a market which Canon does not serve at present.
I do agree about the S-series though. Awesome cameras - true compacts but with full exposure control and the ability to shoot RAW. The sensor size means quality will never be as good as a DSLR but then a DSLR will never be as good as medium format for the same reason - photography is always about compromises.
As a recent CSC purchaser...
...I say No to the final question in the article. One big reason is that compacts with the quality of CSCs seem to be more expensive than the CSCs for some reason. Also, even as a beginner, being able to select a brighter pancake lens instead of the zoom means I can take photos I wouldn't otherwise be able to.
As ever, it's horses for courses and I suspect that the (no longer very) new formats will at the very least force manufacturers to think more creatively about what they offer customers.
battery life
250 exposures not enough? That's a lot of rolls of film! I've never used more than half a dozen rolls in a day myself. But perhaps the 250 is nominal and what is really meant is the battery does not last long enough if switched on all day. I still don't really see the problem, spare batteries are no more bulky than spare rolls of film.
As for merits and demerits of compact systems etc. Modern DSLRs are all too bulky to carry around unless you are setting out that day with the intention to do photography. Carrying a variety of lenses poses the same problem. So it seems to me there is little difference between having one lens that is never changed and having a lens that is fixed to the camera.
SLR's will persist until electronic viewfinders are 'good enough'. The optical viewfinder on this Canon appears to be more in the nature of a gunsight than a viewfinder: Better than nothing but I'll keep my FujiX100.
20cm Macro?
I was sold until the 20cm macro focus....hardly macro. I've got a G7right now, which can get to 1cm.
They're getting there...
Replace this lens with a fixed f1.4 one and I'm in...
It might be easier to judge cameras in these reviews if the test shots were not so bland. I've had one 3 weeks, wth a bit of thought in composition and exposure it's already paid for itself with shots of subjects who found my DLSRs rather intimidating. Image quality is superb. Yes it's a bit slow, but why does it need to be any faster? Press the shutter button at the right moment rather than blindly fillng up your memory card and you'll get better results plus a longer lasting battery. Low light AF is BAD but when it manually focuses so easily, it's a minor point that within an hour or so you no longer notice. Lighting is brilliant too - it's very capable with off-camera flashes and has a useful-if-not-as-high-as-I'd-like high speed sync.
It doesn't suit the "look mum, my cameras functions let me be a photographer!" brigade - but the image quality makes it bloody good for Photography.
I think I'm the opposite. I thought this was the camera for me. The carry around when you don't want the SLR option. But the speed is the killer. Not the fps, but the focussing speed. Reminds me of other cameras I have that just don't make the grade - G9 being an example, although this would stomp all over it for ISO capability. Perhaps they'll update in a year or two to sort this issue. Until then I'm guessing it's a CSC or nothing.
Wait a minute! There's maybe another option:
Anyone interested in this camera should at least look at the Sony RX100. So new that it hasn't had any full reviews yet - just encouraging 'hands-on' previews - it is a jacket-pocket camera with a 1" sensor. It is a different compromise between size and and image quality that some might find preferable. It is in the same "I could get a DSLR for that!" price range as the G1X, too.
Horses, courses.
As ever I read a review touting 1080p but not a single mention of sound options. I had a G9 which worked well with loud volumes but mono, G12 I now have is stereo but loud volumes are hopeless. I have approaching 3 million live concert hits on YouTube but have never seen a compact camera review cover high volume handling so simply buy blind..... err deaf.
Lens scratches?
Does the lens cover still scratch the lens? [As it has done on several previous iterations of the G-series]
And do Canon still deny there's a problem [in spite of numerous internet articles about it] and refuse to repair affected cameras?

Film Fatale Presents
Singing in the Rain
On Saturday the 9th of February, Film Fatale, Dublin's most glamorous film event, will celebrate its second birthday in style with a screening of the world's most beloved musical Singin' in the Rain. This night of cinema nostalgia and old–style Hollywood glamour will transport the audience back to the 1920s for a night of film, vintage music, cocktails, dancing and good old-fashioned fun.
A screening of Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's glorious Technicolor musical will be followed by a roaring 1920s themed party mirroring the style of the film with Jaime Nanci and the Blue Boys and Film Fatale's resident DJs, The Andrews Sisters' Brothers, playing music from the era. The audience is invited to help set the scene by dressing up as 1920s dames and dudes, in their vintage finest, paying homage to the glitzy musical style or emulating the characters from the film.
Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds star in a funny, affectionate, romantic nod to old Hollywood, specifically the troubled transition between silent and sound cinema. Jean Hagen steals the show as a screechy-voiced diva, but the real stars here are some of the finest song and dance numbers ever put on film, including O'Connor's acrobatic 'Make 'em Laugh,' the extraordinary 'Broadway Melody/Broadway Rhythm' ballet between Kelly and Cyd Charisse, and, of course, Kelly's signature showstopper, 'Singin' in the Rain.'
In keeping with the classic cinema theme, the Film Fatale usherettes will be on hand serving popcorn and sweets and there will be a classic signature drink prepared especially for the night. Sit back in the sumptuous surroundings of the Sugar Club and enjoy a cocktail with Gene Kelly's musical extravaganza before dancing the night away to 'Singin' in the Rain'.
Roaring 20s after-party from 11.00pm with tickets at the door (€5.00)

Ray made a name for herself with her "30 Minute Meals" show and cookbook series, and she's grown her brand to include cookware, a magazine, a talk show and numerous other ventures. "My Year in Meals" focuses more on what she cooks at home with her husband (who shares his cocktail recipes) than what she does on the TV set.

Globalization Initiative Expands Learning Opportunities for Students
Knowledge is power. Expanding your knowledge to meet global demand is crucial. Seizing the opportunity to capitalize on the knowledge of faculty, staff, students and the community, a new Globalization Initiative has begun at Ferris State University, the Big Rapids Pioneer reports. "When people think about globalization, they think about outsourcing and the pressure on the middle class, but that's just one dimension," Ferris Chemistry professor Piram Prakasam said. "It's also about opening up more opportunities for people." The initiative includes several facets, including Global Reflections – a monthly series of discussions September through March designed to open dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of globalization. The next discussion in the series, "Globalization and Us," is set for 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 at a location to be announced. Other components of the initiative include a bi-annual speaker series, Critical Encounters with Globalization, creation of a Directory of Resources for Globalization and compilation of a White Paper. The speaker series is designed to bring experts from academia and business together to help instructors who want to incorporate globalization into coursework and presentations. The fall session is set for 11 a.m. Nov. 12 in the IRC Auditorium.
Tres Vidas Brings Latin American Culture to Life
The stories of three legendary Latin American women will be brought to life through musical theater at Ferris State University. "Tres Vidas" is a live musical theater work that celebrates the lives of renowned painter Frida Kahlo of Mexico, peasant activist Rufina Amaya of El Salvador and poet Alfonsina Storni of Argentina, reports the Big Rapids Pioneer. The program will be performed at 7 p.m. Sept. 30 in G. Mennen Williams Auditorium. This is in conjunction with the university's celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, running Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. "It is the first time an event of this nature and historic significance has been brought to campus," said Natalia Carvalho-Pinto, event organizer. The program will give students a better understanding of Latin America, bringing to light some of its history, music and theater. Ferris' Hispanic Student Organization advisor Luzia Tartari noted a common thread between each of the women in "Tres Vidas" was the ability to speak out at a time when women were not given rights. "All of their lives were so different, but they all spoke out for what they believed was right," Tartari said. "I think each of them had a great impact on their culture and time."
Honors still pouring in for Ferris State's Jake Visser
Their distinguished college careers have run out of eligibility. But for Jake Visser and Katy Tafler, the awards keep coming, the Grand Rapids Press reports. The former two-time All-American defensive tackle at Ferris State University and three-time soccer All-American at Grand Valley State University have been honored as the NCAA Division II Conference Commissioner's Association 2008-09 Midwest Region male and female Scholar-Athletes of the Year. Visser had a 3.89 grade point average while majoring in history education. The Coopersville native was a four-year member of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's All-Academic football team and a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American first-team pick. Visser and Tafler also were two-time recipients of the GLIAC Commissioners Award and two of 174 student-athletes awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. "This is probably one of the greatest academic awards I've ever received," Visser said. "Especially when it follows (former FSU linebacker) Mike Klobucher getting the same award two years ago, because I had so much respect for Mike. It's pretty special. It's nice when you get recognized for your hard work, whether it's academically or athletically."

Brains for Zombies
It looks like Amazon.com is branching out into a lucrative new market: brains for zombies. They're offering celebrity brains and tasty brains in addition to the more generic brains. In reality, the site is a spin-off of goats.com, the 'tasty yet morally ambiguous' webcomic. (Thanks to Charles Martin for the link).

The Short List
WEDNESDAY: Perfectly poised between pretty and pretty ugly, New Yorks Gang Gang Dance gropes at some kind of synthpop played by morlocks, with keyboards made of stalactites and those hexagonal Phil Collins 80s drums fed through eight leagues of ghostly reverb. Add Lizzie Darques preverbal coos and caws and sour trills to the mix and youve got some serious alien tribal mood music. GGD sets up its pre-Halloween séance at the Ottobar with local glitch farmers Wzt Hearts.
THURSDAY: One-time head of the dance-punk class, the Rapture has traded in its blacks and grays for neon blues and yellows on the new Pieces of the People We Love, speeding up the 80s revival until we hit all the smiley faces and polka-dot shirts from the end of the decade. The band shows off its new sensation at Washingtons 9:30 Club with Presets.
FRIDAY: Led by the titular trumpeter, local jazz trio the Todd Butler Group kicks off a two-night stint at the New Haven Lounge by kicking some hard-bop knowledge for the faithful. The groups not afraid to slow things down and caress a ballad or two as well.
SATURDAY: The real deal or faking the funk? The presence of Baltimore club music legend Rod Lee on the same bill at the Ottobar as kinda/sorta local rap/club act Spank Rock goes a little ways towards answering the question. Rounding the night out are Pasey Pase and MC Squared. MC Squared? Cmon, that sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch from 1984. Mysterious local improv group Trokeneis assembles for the Red Emmas Halloween party at St. Johns Church with C. Spencer Yeh of Burning Star Core. Fresh off a new collaboration with Misdemeanor Elliot, Englands Lady Sovereign races neck and neck with Lily Allen to see who is going to score the first feisty young chick Brit-rap novelty hit in the U.S. Points in Sovs favor? Shes got the better flow--who knew it was possible for a 20-year-old British girl to sound like Abe Vigoda sometimes--and better beats and is at the 9:30 Club with Young Love.
SUNDAY: Your friend and ours, whirling dervish Dan Deacon, recently shouted out on Pitchfork by mash-up goof Girl Talk, headlines an Are We Not Men? Halloween party at the Depot with dance-rockers Chinese Stars, featuring ex-members of puréed punk band Arab on Radar, and the always-a-party Pony Pants. Meanwhile, at the Hamilton Arts Collective, a bunch of bands from both around here and outta town play video-game music, including Powerglove, Entertainment System, Pieness, Temp Sound Solutions, and Year 200X, and a bunch more bands play music that sometimes might as well be video-game music, including Human Host, Mr. Moccasin, and Eightball Hemmorage, plus giveaways, costumes, and whatnot.
MONDAY: At the Ottobar, spazz-rockers Thunderbirds Are Now! pilot their nervy synthesizers and twisted guitars like the supermarionation airplanes of the classic kid show their name kinda/sorta resembles with Plastic Constellations and Rescue. The bands last album was produced by John Schermsal of Enon/Brainiac if you need some coordinates.
TUESDAY: So its Halloween, and while its not exactly the monster mash, Kanye West protégé John Legend brings his turtlenecks and piano to Rams Head Live. The show is sponsored by Baileys, probably because like John Legend its smooth and sweet and if you drink too much of it you end up feeling a little queasy. And at Floristree Space, fuzzy, muzzy local duo Beach House sings and plays like they just cant be bothered to get out of bed with Arbouretum, Over the Atlantic, and Violet Hour.
WEDNESDAY: If twee dance-pop with lyrics about rolling in a 64 gets you excited, then Londons Hot Chip is semi-ironically busting a move at Sonar. Only the 00s could have given us a band that sounds like a wussier New Order with lyrical and musical shout-outs to Prince and Stevie Wonder. And about a million, billion miles from either Prince or Dr. Dre, the mysterious Wooden Wand spins six-string folk through a dissonant psychedelic scrim with Santa Dads, the Tall Grass, and Mother Natures Sons and Daughters at Golden West Café. Everyone needs to invest in a corncob pipe.
IN THE WINGS: While the Short List totally understands the need self-abasing teenagers of a certain stripe have for embracing the restrictive codes of straight edge from personal experience--except for the no sex part, cmon--even in high school the animal liberation front antics of Earth Crisis were a little much for us. If you still have your vegan edge, however, the bands only East Coast reunion show is at Sonar Jan. 27 for the second annual Maryland Metal and Hardcore Fest. Angry straight-edge letters to the usual address. (For more info call [410] 327-8333 or visit www.sonar.us.)

We're proud to admit, we're a LITTLE different.
While other operators rely on market demand to fill car parks, we make it happen by following a unique and flexible system that draws out the maximum opportunity from every site. The entire car park is an opportunity; not just the dedicated parking bays.
We call our holistic view the Secure System.
It's the result of a 'hands on' management approach from a company committed to creative innovation.
Since 1979 we have researched, adapted and fine-tuned this formula. We believe that parking is a 'product' that can be dynamically marketed to end-users through the car parks that we operate. We've invested the time to look at our car parks and our array of products, in a different way. How can we add further value to a building, shopping centre or hotel? What are the services that end-users really want?
How can we help?
In the real world, only a few sites have everything going for them. For instance, you may have good access in a bad location or bad access in a good location.
Because location and accessibility drive our industry, Secure Parking packages products in a way that best reflects the needs of the individual property. This philosophy allows us to manage yields effectively to achieve the best possible outcome for both site owners and ourselves, as car park operators.
It is this flexible approach that separates us from the conformists who dictate policies and mindlessly enforce them. You don't have to conform rigidly to a set of rules cast in stone. It's individual tailoring that maximises return on investment.
Of course with higher sustainable parking revenue, comes a higher net worth for your property. So not only do we work harder to give our partners higher incomes, often the bonus is a higher capitalised value for your building too.
Our system not only allows for flexibility, but has been designed to embrace it. And it works. That's why we regularly deliver revenue increases in excess of 30 percent when we take over a car park.
If your organisation could benefit from turning your parking area into a profitable service centre, look no further than the car parking industry leader ... Secure Parking.

'Sushi cats:' The (weird) new trend in Japan
Updated On: May 20 2013 10:27:36 AM CDT
A bizarre new ad campaign brings new meaning to the word "catfish" and is causing a buzz in Japan.
The Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts company has created a range of prints featuring cats resting on sushi rolls, calling them "Sushi cats," or Neko-Sushi in Japanese.
While some of the cats look somewhat cute posing on sticky rice, others appear terrified and some are just downright strange.
But that hasn't stopped them from gaining a cult-like following in Japan and elsewhere around the world.
The cats already have their own Facebook page, along with postcards and photos (only available in Japan) and a mobile game app you can download, according to The Daily Mail.
The company even put together a tongue-in-cheek video titled "The History Of Sushi Cats Explained," suggesting the cats have been around for centuries and can even be found in early cave paintings.
Cute meme? Or just plain weird?

After 5pm, the Space and its galleries will only be accessible to those visitors who are wearing a wristband as a concertgoer. As a bonus, those guests will be able to enjoy the exhibit through 11pm those nights.
So if you don't plan to watch the concert, come early! That way you'll avoid all of the crowds. See you at the Space!

The son of a career army officer, Bennett led a nomadic life, attending ten different schools before graduating in 1980 from the University of North Alabama with degrees in Art and History. After brief stints as a staff artist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Fayetteville (NC) Times, he went on to serve as the editorial cartoonist for the St. Petersburg Times (1981-1994) and The Christian Science Monitor (1997-2007), before joining the staff of the ...
Pretty funny, Clay, making the point without mentioning the names.
Now it's time for the screaming and feces throwing to start.
Another recycling? Bennett needs to try a bit harder.
3rd district GOP, instead of the lesser of two evils, has a problem of the greatest of three goods. Fleischmann, Wamp, and Mayfield are pretty good. Bhalla would be an improvement on most Democrats, but I don't think his gimmick would work--we pay our reps to know the details, and I think special interests or tiny numbers would take over his polls. Bill Taylor sounded less bad to the TFP than most Democrats.
MTJohn, sorry, but I was unable to get back with you.
Concerning your statement "However, the suggestion that God is at war with unrepentant sinners is contradicted by Luke 15."
I gave you a Scripture verse, God's word - "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. Romans 1:18."
Now, it seems to me that you would have to agree that homosexuality, like other sins is ungodliness and unrughteousness. Agree or disagree?
So much for Obama helping poor women with their birth control cost. Women should be outraged.
Today is a big day for birth control. Under President Obama's health care reforms private insurance companies have to start providing contraception for free on August 1. That means no more co-pays for birth control. But while the law goes into effect, only a tiny fraction of the 97 million American women between the ages of 18 and 64 will be able to snag any co-pay free contraception today. First, only women with private insurance plans will be affected. About 65 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 64 – those that are old enough to be adults but too young enough to qualify for Medicare--have private health insurance which they get from a their employer or pay for out of pocket, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That means the 19 million women between the ages of 18 and 64 who are uninsured will still have to pay for contraception out of pocket. The 17 million women on Medicaid also may not feel the effects. Each state gets to decide whether their Medicaid plans will provide at no cost the contraception and seven other women's health services that are covered under the no-cost-sharing law taking effect today.
alprova, you are the first I have ever run into to claim that the Bible is not the word of God. Now it is quite obvious that if one believes he does not have the word of God then that person can believe and act anyway he pleases with no accountability to God.
This is what the practicing atheist believes. I have noticed that the practicing atheist will not proclaim that there is no God but will create some sort of a philosophical god in his mind wherein he determines what is right and wrong in his eyes and thus behaves according to his selfish desires, believing he will escape judgment.
Also, how do you justify in your mind referring to Scripture from the Bible when you say there is no Bible?
How is it that when Hussein Obama said he would not support same sex marriage you liberals gave him a pass. But when the CEO of Chick-fil-A voices his opinion about gay marriage you liberals automatically fill with hate towards him. The CEO and Hussein Obama had the same opinion about gay marriage up until about two months ago before Hussein Obama decided to tell the gays what they wanted to hear. Another fine example of liberal hypocrisy.
How to get wealthy in America
Open business, voice your opinion, get wealthy. I want to thank all the liberals who denounced Chick-Fil-A for all the wealth they generated for the CEO of Chick-Fil-A to donate to elect Mitt Romney for president. Sometimes your hatred serves us well.
"So much for Obama helping poor women with their birth control cost. Women should be outraged."
Why should they be outraged? Because they get co-pay free birth control if they have insurance? The alternative is that EVERY WOMAN would have to pay a co-pay or out of pocket whether they have insurance or not.
Are you really that stupid? And it appears you failed to read this part:
"Each state gets to decide whether their Medicaid plans will provide at no cost the contraception and seven other women's health services that are covered under the no-cost-sharing law taking effect today"
The states get the choice to provide women's services and contraception. Women should be thankful. Your attempt to conjure up some type of controversy in this situation is laughable and a total fabrication.
"The CEO and Hussein Obama had the same opinion about gay marriage up until about two months ago before Hussein Obama decided to tell the gays what they wanted to hear."
No, Obama DID NOT have the same opinion about gay marriage as the President. Get that through your neanderthal skull. Cathy said that accepting homosexuality would "bring God's wrath on America" and other Christian hate rhetoric.
Obama never said anything like this and never voiced any hatred or bigotry against homosexuals whatsoever.
Again, you're fabricating a story. Why are you so ignorant?
"Sometimes your hatred serves us well."
You mean the hatred of ignorance, bigotry and homophobia, correct? The money made yesterday isn't going to Mitt. It's going to gay and lesbian hate groups. But please, keep thinking the CEO getting wealthy benefits you or anyone else. Not only does it not benefit you, but money that you or anyone else spends there goes to groups, lobbyists, and programs that actively discriminate, alienate, and withhold rights to other Americans. Your penchant for hate and ignorance is duly noted.
If they get insurance they will benefit. That's the whole idea. Get insurance. Get the benefits.
"If you attack me I attack you back in a way that will be devastating to you."
Nothing you could ever say could EVERY be construed as 'devastating' to me.
"You are nothing but a pathetic pedophile POS. You should be arrested."
Once again, your ignorance has been noted many times.
"I saw the post you deleted that confirmed your sickness."
LMAO! Fabricating a lie about me, eh? Remember that thing I said about you being ignorant? I was wrong, it's far worse than ignorance. You seriously might have severe psychological issues.
I see you amended your post. I'll repost it so everyone can see. :-)
Hey everyone, look what crazy Joneses said:
"If you attack me I attack you back in a way that will be devastating to you. You are nothing but a pathetic pedophile POS. You should be arrested. I saw the post you deleted that confirmed your sickness."
You are the most intolerant and hateful person here. Go back and read your post. Your first remark this morning was calling me stupid. You fired the first shot ass hole. And if you attack me personally with your hate I will attack you back with more than you will be able to stomach. The choice is yours you pathetic POS. You are afraid of the facts of the article I posted. You have a serious moral problem. You think killing innocent babies is a good thing. You think a man sticking his scrotum in your butt means he loves you. You are that sick. You attack me I attack you back. The choice is yours. LOL!
"You are the most intolerant and hateful person here."
"Your first remark this morning was calling me stupid."
You are stupid. Just calling it how I see it.
"And if you attack me personally with your hate I will attack you back with more than you will be able to stomach."
You keep saying this but nothing you say as substantiated your claim. Every one of your retorts is very weak.
"You are afraid of the facts of the article I posted."
I pointed out to you that you have spun the article into a negative against Obama. Obama is at no fault here. Obamacare is giving the majority of women access to women's services and contraception that they previously had to pay a co-pay or out of pocket. The states have the option to cover these things on Medicaid. You have no clue of what you're talking about. You just make up controversy. The excerpt you provided shows how much Obamacare is helping women get the proper care they need. Anything you say to the contrary is fabricated controversy and completely false.
"You think killing innocent babies is a good thing."
"You think a man sticking his scrotum in your butt means he loves you."
LMAO! Remember that thing I said about you psychological problems? This proves it.
"You attack me I attack you back. The choice is yours."
I know you are oblivious and ignorant but every time you attempt to "attack me back", you make yourself look psychotic. Completely and utterly psychotic. :-)
What are you talking about? Are you admitting you are a pedophile? I did not delete anything.
I have to get to work now as I have to put the finishing touches on a plant closure in Ohio after the employees decided to vote the Union in.
So easypos you just stay here all day and spread all your hatred and intolerance for those that have a different opinion and continue to attack them personally. It is a sickness that this forum has become the bane of your existence.
Me being sick? You are here all day spreading your filth fat ass. This is all you have in life. Take a look at yourself fat ass and and correct your psychological problems. You now have made up something you accused me of posting. You are that sick. Get some help for Gods sake. You are mentally ill. I would say LOL but your mental problems are not funny. They are sad and it is especially sad that you refuse to get help.
Easy123 is STILL king of the insults on this forum. STILL childish and naive. STILL hate filled and lame. STILL in night school at the jr. college.
"What are you talking about? Are you admitting you are a pedophile? I did not delete anything."
That quote was copied and pasted from your post August 2, 2012 at 8:45 a.m. You edited it soon after. Caught you! LOL!
I'll post it again for everyone to see:

It looks like Obama is not going to be able to fool us into believing that the economy is doing peachy even with his manipulated numbers. Now they are coming up with some kind of happiness index that will no doubt score socialism highly. I suppose they think they can fool us into believing that we are happy by redefining what happy is. Oh brother!
They economy is doing better though. I'm not sure how you could think otherwise.
And please show how any numbers were manipulated. Back up your claim.
Good Analysis of the choices in the Third Congressional District. Not sure about the "heir apparent Weston Wamp" but of the three he might be the lesser of three evils. Maybe if elected his father will find somewhere for him to stay in D.C. other than in the "C" street building among the "chosen ones."
I caught what you wrote. I question your sincerity though.
I could state how one becomes a Christian in a few words, but it would be so general that it could be misinterpreted - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9
A Christian knows what that verse means and what is required because of the teaching of other Scripture. For example the word "believe" does not mean just a mental agreement but a trust and commitment to the person and work of Jesus Christ. It is a personal relationship to Jesus Christ.
It would take me a long time and a lot of typing for me to properly present the Gospel.
There are many excellent websites where the plan of Salvation is presented. I like the teaching of John MacArthur at gty.org.
This website page is great - http://www.achristianhome.org/Bible_Studies/ChristianBelief/Salvation%20Assurance.htm
I am running away from a psychotic, sick, person who admitted they are a gay, baby killing, pedophile. Psychotic people like you do scare me and you should actually be locked up.
I will make a deal with you. Do you have the ability to reason? I will not respond to any more of your lies and never address you again if you agree to not respond to me or address any more of my post. Will you agree to this?
96 Days to Go:
Bernanke is Bluffing: Fed Powerless to Avert Recession
The Federal Reserve has indicated it will take further steps as necessary to promote a stronger economic recovery. Sadly, the Fed's bullets are spent, and the U.S. economy is skidding as a result of Administration missteps.
The economy is growing at less than 2%. Unemployment holds steady at 8.2% only because so many folks have quit looking for work and are no longer counted in the official tally of joblessness.
Consumer spending has slowed substantially, because Americans are pessimistic that President Obama's economic policies will fix the economy and are hunkering down for a long siege.
Central bank policy can help dampen inflation when the economy overheats and lift borrowing and home sales a bit when it falters, but it can't instigate faster growth when the President and Congress fail to address structural problems.
Demand for U.S. products is burdened by huge trade deficits on oil and consumer goods with China. Both result from government inaction.
President Obama has significantly curtailed production of oil offshore and in Alaska, and refused calls from economists across the ideological spectrum to force China to stop manipulating its currency. Together, reversing those actions would create at least five million jobs.
Now conditions in Europe threaten to pull down an economic recovery, made needlessly fragile by policy missteps beyond the purview of the Federal Reserve.
Lacking better policies from the Oval Office, there is little the Federal Reserve can do.
joneses: Don't enter any agreement with the child. He's incapable of withholding his adolescent thoughts. But he IS enlightened.
"I am running away from a psychotic, sick, person who admitted they are a gay, baby killing, pedophile. Psychotic people like you do scare me and you should actually be locked up."
This only adds to my claim of your psychosis.
"I will not respond to any more of your lies and never address you again if you agree to not respond to me or address any more of my post. Will you agree to this?"
I will respond to whoever I wish to on this board. You will not get a free pass from me or anyone else for that matter. When you spread your lies and misinformation, you will get called out for it. Not to mention, it's HILARIOUS to read your responses.
Thanks for your answer. The reason I asked is when people who disagree with you on matters say they are a Christian, you immediately tell them they are not a true christian. I need to know how you can tell a true christian, since you seem to be able to distinguish. I know a lot of very good people who are christian, but from what you post here they would not meet your definition.
"He's incapable of withholding his adolescent thoughts"
My adolescent thoughts? I guess you ignore statements like this from Joneses:
"I am running away from a psychotic, sick, person who admitted they are a gay, baby killing, pedophile. Psychotic people like you do scare me and you should actually be locked up."
I think YOU are joneses, JackTroll.
Yelling "christian" has no value. One must walk the walk.
You are correct the child easy has not the ability to reason and wants to continue subjecting the fine people on this forum to his and my filth. He is that mentally challenged. I will rise above him and not respond to any more of his childish, psychotic rants and he will be the minuscule person he chooses to be. Easy has proved my point that he is incapable of basic reasoning and understanding.
To all on this forum I apologize for letting a weak minded child like easy bring out the worst in me. I will not acknowledge his existence anymore and let him be the psychotic fool he chooses to be.
Thanks for proving my point.
Rightwing nuts are always questioning whether President Obama is a "true Christian" and not secretly a Muslim. Along comes Mitt Romney who is supposedly a "devout Mormon" and none of these same wingnuts question some of the Mormon practices and beliefs.
How do you reconcile the Mormon belief that people can be Baptized AFTER DEATH? Or that there are three heavens(a heavenly version of segregation?) or the belief God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three separate beings when according to the "Christian" belief they are ONE in three beings.
Those are just a few of the contradictions between Christianity and Mormonism but no one talks about those instead right wingnuts spend their time trying to prove President Obama is a Muslim which in reality is a much more MAINSTREAM religion than Mormonism.
"How do you reconcile the Mormon belief that people can be Baptized AFTER DEATH?"
The Romney family has actually participated in the practice of baptizing the dead. Weird stuff.
I do not care if Hussein Obama is a Muslim, Baptist, Catholic or whatever. Nor do I care if Presidential Candidate Romney is a Mormon. I do care about the failed policies of Hussein Obama and I am even concerned that Presidential Candidate Romney will be good for America. Hussein Obama has proven to me that he does not have America's best interest in mind.
Back to the topic:
The Free Press endorsed Chuck Fleischmann. Who is in second though? Wamp or Mayfield. I think it's Fleischmann's race to lose but who is going to give him the better challenge?
Personally, I've met a lot of folks that want to vote for Little Wamp and very few that like Mayfield.
ibshame: Let's see....we have radical Islam on one hand and radical (?) Mormonism on the other. Which seems like the bigger threat? Hmmm?
That isn't the comparison. Obama isn't a "radical" Muslim. He isn't even Muslim. The real comparison is Christian v. Mormon. And you Right-wing Christians choose the Mormon. Even though he is a heretic according to your Bible and Thomas Aquinas.
lilbabyEasy: It IS the comparison. Last time I checked, radical Mormonism was not waging war on us.
TinyEasy, You're the one dissing Romney's Mormonism. I don't know WHAT The Anointed One is and don't care. My guess is, he's more of your atheist ilk, with a fondness for big gubment and runaway entitlements.
"You're the one dissing Romney's Mormonism."
No sh*t, Sherlock.
You are indifferent about Obama's religion even though he is, in fact, a Christian, Yet you are so quick to defend Romney's religion. Right-wing logic at it's finest!
My guess is that Romney is a Branch Davidian with a fondness for taking several underage wives and stockpiling guns in his home/church/compound. That's why he has so many children, he's trying to start an army!
Easy: You're silly as ever. You said "you are so quick to defend Romney's religion".....Did I misquote you? I say again, I don't give a rat's azz about Romney's religion. As for The Dear Leader's religion, I doubt seriously he's a Christian. As for the possibility that he's Muslim, yes that would be troubling.
Take off the blinders, Bunky. And grown up.
As for The Dear Leader's religion, I doubt seriously he's a Christian
Based on what evidence? And what definition of a Christian? conservative's?
As for the possibility that he's Muslim, yes that would be troubling.
Why? Curious that you care nothing about Romney's religion, but yet concern yourself about the legitimacy of Obama's.
Keith, I answere that earlier. Mormons are not a threat. Radical Islam is. Not Korean math here, Keith.
Ike, put your atheism aside and please tell me what you believe a Christian is or from what your friends have said it is.
Jack, Mormon's ARE a threat-it is the church's intentions to remove the constitution and establish a theocracy. Radical Islam is also a threat, and yet there is no evidence to suggest that Obama was or is a muslim. He does, however, know a lot about Islam; we all should try to learn about the other religions of the world.
conservative, I believe that anyone that accepts the existence of God, believes that Jesus died for their sins, and tries to live a life that includes acceptance of and service to others is a Christian. The first two define their religious beliefs, the last make them truly christian. However, that is my PERSONAL take on it.
It is not enough to believe. Now, of course, I know people who do the third one only, or do the third on out of a different belief system (Allah and Mohammed, Yahweh, etc.)
Some Christians I know take it further-they learn beyond just the basics, study the bible, read the great Christian writers of today and of the past. That's wonderful, but to me not essential.
I am a non-believer. Always have been skeptical of all magic, miracles, spirits, gods, supernatural, demons, etc. That's just me. It isn't that I do not see value in religion-I certainly do, and while I try not to fake anything to please others, I enjoy the setting when I am in it. (I worked for the church indirectly for 30 years) Humans in a group that share the same values is a wonderful thing to experience. But I won't lie and say that I believe any of the supernatural premise behind it. I do share the values that spring from such beliefs: the goodness of human beings, the importance of valuing every person regardless of their shortcomings or gifts, and hope that all of us who can give a little more than we have to so that those that can't have what they need. But as a non-believer I don't do good because I hope to be rewarded, but because I like how I feel when I have done so. I don't avoid doing wrong because I fear punishment-I want to be trusted and depended upon by others. Finally, I want to make the best of this life because I believe that it is the only one I have.
Hope that helps. No, I don't eat kittens or torture puppies. I love babies, too.
Seeing the many posts dulls my interest except for the one about wrath. All wrath has been implemented and it was against God's son and not us. This fact makes us free indeed.
You never said you didn't care about Romney's religion. And you jump quick to defend it. Then, in the next breath, you accuse Obama of not being a Christian even though you said ". I don't know WHAT The Anointed One is and don't care". Which one is it flip-flopper?
Take your head out of you ass and, at least, try to form a logical paragraph and/or argument.
"Mormons are not a threat. Radical Islam is."
Show everyone where anyone said Mormonism was a threat. Your creating a straw man argument, Trollie.
Easy, lkeithlu said mormons are a threat. You need to check other post before you come back with such a statement. There is no proof that mormons are what he says they are. Its the same as the dirty politics Reid is using. Of course Obama is famous for that kind of politics, He managed to get sealed docs unsealed to destroy a person running against him.
Easy: You are so full of hate, you can't comprehend the language. No, I don't see Mormons as a threat. Yes, I see Islam as a threat. No, I don't know if The Messiah is a Muslim or not, tho he seems to lean that way. You, little man, are blinded by the radical left ether. Get some fresh air, lad.
"You are so full of hate, you can't comprehend the language."
I'm comprehending just fine. It's your argument that is incoherent and illogical.
"No, I don't see Mormons as a threat."
Before Ikeithlu mentioned it, no one else said that either. You brought up "radical Mormonism" out of no where.
"I don't know if The Messiah is a Muslim or not, tho he seems to lean that way."
Prove it.
"You, little man, are blinded by the radical left ether."
In what way? You make outlandish claims with no proof.
You and Joneses are on about the same 1st grade logic, comprehension and reasoning level. Not to mention you can't even conjure up a moderately factual insult. But I wouldn't expect an old fellow like yourself to think clearly in your old age anyway.
Easy, apparently you have a short memory, among other things. Leftists of your ilk on this forum have been busting Mormonism for months. Put down the pipe, son.
In what way am I blinded then? By knowing exponentially more about Mormonism or any religion than you do?
It would seem as if you are the blind one. Blind to facts, information, etc. Mormonism is a cult. It is Christian heresy AT BEST. But I guess you really do go along with Joseph Smith when he said he found a new Bible in upstate New York, right?
You're ignorant, Jack. Ignorant and oblivious. It's a terrible combination.
The economy is on the verge of a second, deeper recession and all The Wart can find for topic matter is but one more shallow swipe at anything republican. All we need is for Obama to get reelected and a collapse will be upon us.
Remember that in November.
Since you guys seem determined to pound on Easy for my comment, let me elaborate:
The LDS are easily the most successful and fastest growing church in the US, perhaps in the world. All Mormons I have ever met, without exception, were the kindest and cleanest-living people I ever knew. The LDS live their teachings better than no other group; they have strong families, strong communities, strong congregations, excellent universities, they excel in everything they do. They put the rest of us to shame in this way. However, before we hold them on too high a pedestal, remember what any church member faces if he or she refuses to cooperate with church expectations. This is not like leaving your local Baptist church. You lose everything; family, business contacts, social connections. The price for resisting is HUGE, and fathers best keep their wives and children in line.
Their faith is based on some peculiar and easily disproven points. Their church has a board of scientists and historians whose job it is to research and verify with evidence the writings of the church, particularly those things that involve pre-historic and historic north America. The dirty little secret is that there is no evidence. All physical evidence points to the mainstream account of prehistoric humans arriving by the land bridge during ice ages, and Caucasians first contact being the Norse followed by the Spanish.
Finally, members are required to keep 6 months of food, water and supplies, including ammunition. This is because when the country fails, before they can take the reins and usher in the government of God that they envision, they are protected from famine, intruders, and the rabble that will starve in the aftermath. Only Mormons will survive, and they will establish their paradise on earth.
Thank you for another great post. I think there would be quite a few non-mormon preppers making it through. Do they have plans for them?
In my psychiatric practice, we refer to disordered personalities such as Jack Dennis, joneses, etc. as 'deranged demagogues' or 'self-opinionated'. The more you resist or try to counter-act their delusions, the more combative they become.
Needs ones for Wamp and Bhalla.
I suggest:
Wamp's as "No Fool like A Young Fool" and for Bhalla have "I vote, as you fools decide"
wallyworld: you are the sham. psychiatry my arse.
Again, no one has even mentioned the subject in about 50 posts. In Any event, this Bennett cartoon shows just how pathetic and bitter the liberals and democrats have become in the 3rd District.
The candidates you idiots are running couldn't win a race in November with a one-legged dog.
So you make these snide, bitter, immature remarks due to your frustration that people in our county/district just don't swallow the liberal Kool-aid you people try to feed us.
timbo, yes, you're quite right that divergence from the actual topic is quite common here. What do you want done about it?
But no, we're concerned that you swallow the conservative opiate that you'll never admit is clouding your thoughts and ignore who is really making snide, bitter and immature remarks out of an inability to engage in anything resembling productive discussion.
Or do you want to discuss thing honestly? Ok, then what would you feel about proportional representation rather than the winner-take-all artificial districts we have? Couldn't we even have instant-run-off or require an actual majority to win?
I heart your posts, lkeithlu. Balls or not.
The newspaper is running stories that show Fleischman as winning, but vote totals that show Wamp beat him by 100 votes. Who won? Which report in this newspaper is incorrect?
I checked those vote counts over at the election commission's website. They, too, are showing Weston Wamp winning with 14,305 votes over Fleischmann's 14,204.
Since it's after 2300, I take it our local version of a "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline has already run off the press. Since the editorial staff has been on a vacation from professionalism all election night, I take it that there will be no corrections made before tomorrow morning. Perhaps we should snap up some historic newspaper blunders first thing.
Front page. Does it show the correct winner of the primary or not? I'm betting it won't.
Somebody might want to tell candidate Weston Wamp that it looks like he just won his primary. Every "news organization" in town seems to be getting the count wrong. Get it right.
Wamp: 14, 305. Fleischmann: 14,204. That's a Wamp win by 101 votes.
I believe the election commission only covers the Hamilton County numbers, not the entire 3rd District.
Chuck Fleischmann 29,943 Scottie Mayfield 23,772 Weston Wamp 21,992
These figures are from the Chattanoogan. FWIW, both the Knoxville and Nashville papers have stories on Fleischmann's win and I think they are using AP's statewide figures.
