Thanksgiving? Really?
For some reason I am on Salon.com's email list. Whilst it is an interesting glimpse into the attitude of the obnoxious, bossy Left, I usually just delete the emails right away because, well, I just can't be bothered.
But I have to admit that today's email both annoyed me and made me sad. Here's what the top story was:
How to win Thanksgiving: Your guide to arguing with relatives
JIM NEWELL It's going to be especially hard to avoid politics at Thanksgiving this year. Here's how you can defeat Uncle Dingo
Now, this is always the style with them, these pretentious "Here's How" articles to help the Enlightened Left exert their proper moral authority over us Cromagnonian rubes and out wit us with their Superior Logic™ (which is, of course, obviously a wasted effort as we can't understand logic in the first place, being schtupid and all).
But what makes me especially sad is this concept that every conversation, every event, every Holiday is a political contest that needs to be "won" in some way or another, that the very people who so loudly and incessantly decry the lack of "diversity" and "respect for others" are so insistent that their point of view not only is correct but in fact must be assiduously imposed upon every occasion, upon every conversation until complete adherence to the acceptable orthodoxy is obtained.
It's not actually "especially hard to avoid politics at Thanksgiving this year." It's quite simple.
You avoid it.
You shut up.
If someone says some overtly political statement, you say "yes, a pity. Would you like more cranberry sauce?"
When everything becomes a contest, a contested event, we all lose.

U.S. ends war in Iraq
Online Staff Report
Speaking at a ceremony from a fortified concrete courtyard at the airport in Baghdad Dec. 15, U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta declared an end to the U.S. war in Iraq.
"Let me be clear: Iraq will be tested in the days ahead — by terrorism, and by those who would seek to divide, by economic and social issues, by the demands of democracy itself," Panetta said. "Challenges remain, but the U.S. will be there to stand by the Iraqi people as they navigate those challenges to build a stronger and more prosperous nation."
The war in Iraq began March 20, 2003, after the U.S. and United Kingdom claimed Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found.
U.S. casualties in the war have totaled 4,487, with 32,226 wounded.
Brown University's Costs of War project estimated the total for wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is at least $3.2-$4 trillion.
The Brown University report said the Department of Defense's direct spending on Iraq totaled at least $757.8 billion. It also included complementary costs at home, such as interest paid on the funds borrowed to finance the wars and a potential nearly $1 trillion in extra spending to care for veterans returning from combat through 2050.
Although the Dec. 15 ceremony at the Baghdad airport signaled a ceremonial end to the war, the U.S. military still has two bases, about 4,000 troops and a number of independent contractors in Iraq. At the height of the war in 2007, the U.S. had 505 bases and more than 170,000 troops in Iraq.
Former President George W. Bush was president when a deal to withdraw troops from Iraq by the end of 2011 was signed by Iraq and the United States. President Barack Obama declared the end of combat operations earlier this year, and recommitted the United States to the Dec. 31 deadline Oct. 21.
Prior to Obama's Oct. 21 declaration of the end of the war, the U.S. had been discussing with Iraqi leaders the possibility of several thousand U.S. troops remaining in Iraq. However, Iraqi leaders refused to give U.S. troops immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts, and the U.S. refused to stay without that agreement.
According to reports, remaining U.S. troops are still attacked on a daily basis. After the last two bases are closed and remaining troops are sent home, a few hundred military personnel and Pentagon civilians will remain in Iraq. A number of private contractors will also remain in the country.
According to the New York Times, "negotiations could resume next year on whether additional American military personnel can return to further assist their Iraqi counterparts.
"Senior American military officers have made no secret that they see crucial gaps in Iraq's ability to defend its sovereign soil and even to secure its oil platforms offshore in the Persian Gulf."
Most notably, the war effort led to the Dec. 13, 2003, capture of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Hussein was charged by the Iraqi Special Tribunal with crimes committed against residents of Dujail in 1982, following a failed assassination attempt against him. Specific charges included the murder of 148 people, torture of women and children, and the illegal arrest of 399 others.
Hussein was found guilty Nov. 5, 2006, and hanged Dec. 30, 2006.

It's Not You, It's Your Uncontrollable Telekinesis.
It's a cliché, but I mean it. You're a lovely person and we had a good run. I just no longer feel comfortable in a relationship with a person whose smallest emotional fluctuations wreak massive havoc on the surrounding physical world.
Honey, please, calm down. No, you're not. How can I tell? The silverware floating 4 inches above the table was a clue. I know the set was a gift from your mother. I know she is a lovely, caring woman. However, if she gave you a little space, maybe we could have solved this.
I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. Please put the dog down. No, I don't love him more than you. Well, at least one of you is happy to see me when I get home each day. I do care! Now, however, thanks to all the flying glass, I seem to be bleeding profusely from my brachial artery. Not to mention we just had those windows weatherproofed. There's another month's pay down the drain.
That certainly was not an insinuation. I'm sure plenty of women can't see the word SALE without feeling compelled to buy half of Dillard's—then rend the store, brick from mortar, once their credit is rejected. You never even wore that blue blouse.
I'm passive-aggressive? I'm not the one who smiles sweetly while silently triggering psychokinetic devastation on the majority of her boyfriend's biological processes. Or is that just your cooking?
Great. Your rage-fueled psionic storm has now torn through the very fabric of existence, opening a portal to a demon dimension of unspeakable horror. I always said your temper would get you in serious trouble one day. Don't come running to me when whatever Joe Truckstop you shack up with next isn't as understanding when hell goblins from beyond the curtain of human perception pick at his eyeballs. Marla always says I am way too accommodating.
That's not fair. Marla is a very respectable woman. All I'm saying is it's nice to have an intelligent conversation once in a while. I guess it doesn't matter, now that the Apocalypse is nigh, but, yes, we're sleeping together. There, I said it. I'm leaving you for Marla, existence as we know it is coming to an end, and I lied when I said I enjoyed Tuesdays With Morrie. I found it cloying and maudlin.
I hope you're happy now.

Q: Where is the State of Missouri at on getting some of these HORRIBLE PUPPY MILLS shutdown
February 16, 2009 | By kerrie v. | 5 answers | Expired: 2092 days ago
Missouri has 33% of the US puppy mills. Where is the state on shutting these down?

Wisconsin has the same problem, although it is the Democratically controlled govt. that did not sign a law into the books two years ago.
The Wisconsin Humane Society in Milwaukee bought out one puppy mill (lots of $$$) and it still looking for homes for the rescued. The biggest one, however, is still in operation! with the help of the Amish and Mennonites.

the situation is just out of control and so many puppy mill momma's are left helpless when they can no longer produce. I am ashamed of my state and plan to contact my representatives to urge them to get rolling on this.

Feb 16, 2009
Current laws don't do much to protect animals in Missouri. The General Assembly has been hesitant to pass laws that would regulate this "industry". Most prefer to let the free market take care of it. So until there is legislative intervention the best we can do is educate the public.
Thumbs Up: 0 | Thumbs up!
Feb 16, 2009
Not far enough, in my opinion. I bought both of my dogs as puppies. One breeder was on the up and up and the other seemed less so. I made myself a promise that I will only get more pets from breed rescue and shelters from now on. If we can't trust our government to protect animals, then we have to step up.
Thumbs Up: 0 | Thumbs up!
Feb 16, 2009
The Humane Society is continually trying to pass legislation to shut these disreptubable ones down. The problem is the Republicans control the State House and Senate and block these laws. We need to change our representatives if we want to have an impact.

CA hospital report cards likely to go away
Gant Daily / Kaiser Health, December 5, 2011
On the Cal Hospital Compare website, conscientious consumers in California can look up scorecards for their local hospitals. How well does the hospital control infections? How often do patients die from complications that can be treated? How satisfied are most patients with their experience? Most major hospitals in California give the data voluntarily to independent researchers who analyze and publish consumer-friendly reports. The project was considered a pioneering effort when it started in 2004, but Jan Emerson-Shea, a spokesperson for the California Hospital Association, says the report cards have outlived their usefulness.

By Barbara Liston ORLANDO Fla. (Reuters) - Chainsaw-wielding ghouls draw screaming crowds so large to Universal Orlando's "Halloween Horror Nights" that traffic snarls around the Florida theme park on fall evenings, just another nightmare in the industry's soaring thrill season. "It is just like everybody goes," said Steffanie Weisman, a horror buff who celebrated her 37th birthday this month at Universal's Halloween, the only time she and her husband visit the Orlando park, less than an hour from their home. Today, theme parks drawing mostly regional crowds look to Halloween for as much as 20 percent of their annual attendance, said Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services, a global consultant based in Cincinnati.

I have been working at Cayman Chemical Company full-time (less than an year)Pros
Cayman welcomes new ideas and creativity. Not all of your ideas will be accepted (nor should they be) but you will be heard and your ideas will be judged on their merit--which means you should be ready to defend them with reason and fact. Cayman values a straightforward attitude and an independent approach to work. No one wants to babysit you; you're a professional, after all.
Your job can be what you make it. This is a great place to be if you're driven and passionate about what you do.Cons
One negative point: there's a bit too much decision by committee--but that does show that people are invested and want a say in how business is conducted.
Not everyone is ready to stand up for their ideas, and when I say that Cayman values independence, it's more of a necessity than a perk.RecommendsPositive Outlook

Super typhoon creates need for service from all
Super typhoon Haiyan hit the central Philippines at 4:30 a.m. local time Nov. 8. according to The Freeman, a Filipino newspaper.
The super typhoon, known as Yolanda in the Philippines and Haiyan internationally, is one of the biggest storms in recent history, according to various news sources.
According to the Council, 138 have been reported dead with 14 injured and four missing, and the death toll is expected to rise.
The Red Cross Philippines estimated as many 10,000 dead in the city according to the New York Times.
According to the Official Gazette of the Philippines, 944,597 families were affected by the typhoon.
According Philippines Coast Guard website 3,410 people were stranded at sea.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints reported that 14,000 individuals were being sheltered in 200 church buildings, according to Mormon Newsroom.
Lettie Rosdahl, a freshman studying family consumer science, said her sister Delia Rosdahl is currently serving in the Philippines Bacolod Mission.
She said that the missionaries in her sister's mission found refuge in the stake centers and collected rain water in buckets.
Rosdahl also said that the mission president, Marlo Lopez, kept families informed of the status of the missionaries in general and provided reassurance via Facebook that the missionaries were all safe.
She said that her family was very worried at first after hearing about the typhoon in the Philippines.
"My whole family [was] terrified, but we didn't know what to do, and so the thing that we did [was] we prayed as a family [Thursday] night, and that was really powerful," Lettie Rosdahl said.
In the Tacloban mission, which includes the areas hardest hit by the Typhoon, all but 24 missionaries were accounted for, according to Mormon Newsroom.
According to Mormon Newsroom, Elder W. Craig Zwick, an executive director in the Church's Missionary Department, said that, "Approximately two-thirds of the missionaries in the Tacloban mission have been contacted and are well. We know that all missionaries were provided a 72-hour kit, were moved to safe locations before the storm and are in areas that were less impacted than the city of Tacloban."
Christian Abbott, a sophomore studying recreation management whose fiancee is currently living on the edge of where the storm hit in the Philippines, said that the power outages left him unable to contact his fiancee.
He said that he was still able to get a phone call through to her when the storm hit, but with a lack of power his fiancee couldn't charge her phone.
Abbott said that during the storm his fiancé took shelter in the local LDS church building but she initially didn't want to, because typhoons are such a regular occurrence.
"She didn't realize [the typhoon]would be that big a deal because she's used to it," Abbott said.
Abbott said his fiancee was ultimately better off being at the church because she had others to talk to.
Angie Mendoza Gloria, a junior studying humanities and former president of the BYU-Idaho Filipino Association, said her brother was visiting the Philippines with some friends for a surfing trip when the storm hit.
Mendoza-Gloria said her brother was in the city of Tacloban when the typhoon hit, and they lost contact with him. She said he was in the red zone of the typhoon — the most heavily affected area.
Mendoza-Gloria said she found out on her way to a dinner date that her brother was alive and being taken to the neighboring city, Cebu, by plane.

R&B singer Lloyd has taken a "less-is-more" approach to his image by cutting off his signature braids he's maintained for over ten years.
Photos of the "new" singer hit the Internet late Thursday (September 2) night.
Lloyd's been rocking shoulder-plus length locks since way before he was crooning on 2004's "Southside" with Ashanti. But today the new Interscope signee (under Polow Da Don's Zone 4 imprint) hit up an Atlanta barbershop to switch up his 'do for a good cause – – he's donating to Locks for Love. (VIBE)
Lloyd also opened up about why he chose to get rid of his braids.
Mahogany Wright, Lloyd's long time hair braider gave the artist one final braid, then did the honors of cutting off the 12 inch lock of hair. Moments before, Lloyd had this to say, "I'm doing this for me. I feel like it's time for a change and now is the perfect time." Lloyd's childhood barber, known simply as "Parker The Barber", who was the last person to cut his hair when he was just 14, finished the job, giving the artist a fresh new look. After his cut, Lloyd simply stated, "I feel liberated." (Ozone Mag)
The new look is one of many ventures Lloyd is taking on which also includes an upcoming album called King of Hearts.
"It's a growth process, it's been a few years since the last time I released my own music, so for me, it's pretty relieving," Lloyd said in an interview. "Just to know that all the hard work has paid off. For me, I think it's the perfect start for King of Hearts, which is my next album to be released, produced by Polow Da Don, recorded in Los Angeles and I just think people have never heard me sing like this before…I think it's clever, the fact that we're gonna release it in February, right around Valentine's Day, it just kinda worked out. Aside from Polow, there isn't much more on the album [production-wise]. I wanted to keep it consistent and I wanted to have continuity in the sound and I think when you bounce around and work with a lot of people, you kinda lose the complete thought and you end up with a bunch of sentence fragments. So with me working with just Polow, we all was focused, in the same direction, we all dedicated 110 percent of ourselves toward this project. And I think only then can you get the best quality sound." (Rap-Up)
Recently, Lloyd said his post-Murder Inc. release would be packed with surprises.
"I'm the King of Hearts, you know," Lloyd said in an interview. "And at the album release, we gonna be drinking Ace of Spades…Me and Polow Da Don have been working hard. I got a lot of surprises. I think that a lot of people haven't heard me sound like this, haven't heard me sing like this. It's gonna be a new look, it's gonna be like I'm back for the first time. It should be anticipated. The album is gonna be my best work to date, King of Hearts." (MTV)

Well If I had received the model ordered with the tortoise sweat bar and curved temples, (ear pieces) as pictured, I'd be a happy beach goer.. However the glasses were purchased for the fashion detail of the sweat bar and the curved temples to keep them from falling off while chasing my nieces on the beach. Not worth the price to return, so if you want a large pair of flimsy aviators these are for you.

Dow expands availability of solar roof shingles
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Dow Chemical Co. on Tuesday said it plans to expand the availability of its "Dow Powerhouse" solar power roof shingles, first introduced in Colorado in October 2011, to seven more states.
The shingles protect the roof as a regular shingle as well as producing power via embedded solar cells.
The shingles are made in the United States and carry a 20-year warranty.
Dow introduced them in Colorado in partnership with Fort Worth, Texas-based D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE: DHI), one of the largest homebuilding companies in the Denver area. D.R. Horton installed them at homes the company built in its Spring Mesa subdivision near Quaker Street and West 82nd Avenue in Arvada.
In January, Dow made the solar shingles available to the wider Denver area via the first three roofing companies in the company's authorized dealer network: Academy Roofing Inc. of Aurora, Fort Collins-based B&M Roofing of Colorado Inc., and D&D Roofing of Commerce City.
Earlier this year the company also expanded its market tests to Northern California and central Texas.
Tuesday, Dow announced that homeowners in seven other states could buy the solar shingles for their homes. The new states joining the lineup are Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Louisiana, and Washington, D.C.

This item should have been discussed before the EIR was approved. Hopefully the three council members who are opposed to doing a survey of residents before spending $80,000 on an EIR, will explain why.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Norwich - City police heard stories of daily disruptions to the Cliff Street neighborhood that residents say can be directly attributed to the presence of the St. Vincent de Paul Place soup kitchen over the past 20 months.
A resident found human feces in her front lawn - "with a sock," Cliff Street resident Sarah Scepanski said. "There's no toilet paper, so he used a sock."
One man walking up the street with a shopping cart to collect discarded items carried a computer monitor to the center of the street and smashed it with a claw hammer to get the valued copper inside. Resident Brian Kobylarz submitted photos to the City Council Public Safety Committee.
Another "inebriated" man took his clothes off in the street and was dancing.
These residents and others told of daily trespassing, vandalism to fences, theft and vandalism to holiday decorations - to the point where the neighborhood stopped decorating its Christmas tree - and loud, abusive conversations by people walking down the middle of the street. They'd find bottles, drug-related debris and paper in their yards.
Kobylarz said one day, several soup kitchen patrons were eating their meals sitting around his outdoor fire pit.
About 15 residents and business owners told police during a community forum Wednesday how the soup kitchen has disrupted their daily lives, quality of life and their ability to use and enjoy their own properties.
"It never was like that prior to a certain date," said resident Mark Gagne, owner of the Cummings-Gagne Funeral Home at 82 Cliff St.
Hobart Avenue resident Dave Mitchell installed two home security cameras at a cost of $200 each and invited police to view the recordings at any time.
Police Sgt. Peter Camp, supervisor of the department's growing community policing unit, and three beat patrol officers listened to residents' comments during an hour-long forum Wednesday at Otis Library. St. Vincent Executive Director Jillian Corbin attended and took notes, but did not address the residents and declined to comment after the meeting.
Camp urged residents to keep calling or emailing him and the beat officers when they witness problems, experience damage to their properties or find themselves in uncomfortable potential confrontations. While many incidents would not warrant 911 calls, all information is welcomed to build cases against individuals or to solve other crimes.
Scepanski said she and other residents sometimes are hesitant to call, because "I could call you every day."
Camp said he could not address the political and legal battles surrounding the move of the soup kitchen from the former train station behind Main Street to the former St. Joseph School in July 2012. But he pledged that officers in the community policing patrols would respond to calls and would work to prevent incidents and to protect both residents and soup kitchen patrons.
The Diocese of Norwich at first received a temporary permit to move to the former school, but in November that year applied for permanent permits.
The Commission on the City Plan and Zoning Board of Appeals denied permits, and the diocese has sued in federal court. The parties now are engaged in potential settlement talks with Judge Joan G. Margolis in U.S. District Court in New Haven.

The 10 Most Influential Menswear Moments from Milan and Paris Fall 2013
Before New York City's biannual stampede, we take a look back at the European show moments that we'll still be talking about post-NYFW
Don't Hate the Layer
If you're a sweater and pants kind of guy, you might want to sit this season out: Fall 2013 is all about layering, the kind that starts with a turtleneck, adds a button-down, throws a knit over that, and, give or take a blazer, tops things off with one of those cocooning overcoats. This isn't a Tribbiani revenge-style pile-on, though; designers are using new lightweight fibers and trim fits to keep things from getting bulky.

The Entrepreneur
This bronze work depicts the selfmade man in his struggle to chisel himself from common stone. Blindfolded, The Entrepreneur must trust his instincts. His hand is battered from misplaced strokes of the hammer, constant reminders of his own mistakes. Not knowing if the next strike of the chisel will cut himself off at the knee or allow him to move further toward his goal, he continues unimpeded by his mistakes.

Is $1 million enough to retire?
June 17, 2013 by Mark Miller
The New York Times carried a story earlier this month with the provocative headline For Retirees, a Million-Dollar Illusion. The story points out the difficult math facing retirees due to ultra-low interest rates, which make it tough to keep up with inflation with fixed-income investments. But the story leads us to an unfortunate — I […]

Let's Talk About Glasgow!
Advantages: location, well maintained, free, lovely gardens, ideal for school trips
Disadvantages: not as much to do as in other museums in the area
...We enjoy going on day trips and as my fiance was off work at the weekend, we decided to head into Glasgow and visit a museum. We had originally decided to go to Kelvingrove but decided on People's Palace and Winter Gardens as neither my son or fiance had been here before. So, we visited on a fairly warm and dry Saturday afternoon.

Extreme airport sports make delayed flights exciting
Sick baggage claim carousel, bro.
Adams -- once called "the chosen one" for his pure natural ability -- was turning his life around after a long, troubled period of drugs and prison.
Nothing to see here. Just a group of people zip lining down a 700-foot building.
Mighty Kacy, indeed.
Slip 'N Slide + San Francisco = A wild party.
Whitewater rafting is pretty intense on its own. Add a 60-foot drop and you've got an act that is both death-defying and just a tad bit crazy. Kayaker Dane Jackson spiced up the already dangerous activity with a plunge down a waterfall in Veracruz, Mexico. And his GoPro captured the entire wild ride down. See also: 15 Terrifying GoPro Videos to Make Your Heart Skip The most amazing thing about the ordeal is that he actually lands the kayak at the mouth of the waterfall.
The most nervous of worrywarts can experience extreme sports through the lens of a GoPro. The couch offers a perfectly suitable place to virtually experience a base jump off of the Freedom Tower or fly through a skinny canyon littered with jagged rocks with a wing-suit. But before you kick back and reach for some snacks, brace yourselves -- these videos are anything but relaxing.
Explore the world from above without leaving the couch. Professional paragliding pilot, designer and test pilot Jean-Baptiste Chandelier takes you on an adventure in the skies with a video showcasing his amazing skill. See also: 14 Ice Skating GIFs to Warm Up for the Olympics In the video, you experience a sweat-triggering point-of-view as Chandelier performs tricks at dangerous heights and speeds.
Monster trucks race down a ski mountain, hitting massive jumps and speeds of up to 100 mph. It is as awesome as it sounds.
Andrew Fern had no idea what he was in for when he decided to build a new kind of all-terrain vehicle. The idea was simple: Create a new type of skateboard that works on land, make it fast, and give it treads to conquer any terrain. The execution -- first shown in this YouTube video, shown below -- was, in a word, awesome. The vehicle even had a name befitting its extreme nature: the Scarpar.
Wingsuit flight videos have a way of making viewers' palms sweat. Add the danger of zipping through a narrow cave and your hands will feel like a Florida swamp.

Hey guys! Before we head to church this morning, I wanted to wish you all a very happy Easter! I hope you get to spend your day surrounded by family and friends and eat lots of delicious Easter meals and candy!
I tried my hand at making deviled eggs today and they turned out great, so I wanted to share them with you all. They are not low-fat by any means, but hey, you've got to splurge sometimes right?
I bring to you….
Blue Cheese Bacon Deviled Eggs
from: Mixing Food & Family
- 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled, halved, and yolks removed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 pieces of bacon, crumbled or in pieces
1. In a small bowl, mash egg yolks and all ingredients besides bacon.
2. Spoon back into egg whites and top with blue cheese and bacon.
Eat them before they all disappear!
