I am traveling to Western Washington (Seattle, possibly Olympic National Park, Columbia River Gorge area) and am wondering if anyone knows of a bike shop that rents mountain bikes that is within riding distance to a decent trail. I'd love to get in a singletrack ride, but can't bring my own bike and don't want to deal with figuring out a car rack either. Intermediate-Advanced trails preferred, but anything singletrack would be great. Thanks!

Look to see if you can buy the ravioli already breaded and bake them in your oven. Wonderful, Sorry Paula, I love all your recipes but........ ...
I put the pecans in the food processor and that made life a whole lot easier. It crushed them down to bread crumbs!
I also had a 29 ounce bag of frozen cheese ravioli. I didn't think I would be making the whole bag, but there was so much of the dry ingredients left, that I just finished it off.
My husband loved it! The didn't re-heat very well. It was far better the first time around.
It was very easy to make and I would make it again! ...
Thank you! your flag was submitted.

Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it's sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing it's fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive–
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever-more.
~A.L Frink

Hello, Radical Feminist. I hear you whining about the Republican War on Women™. You want a war on women? Oh, Honey, let me show you real war on women, and it sure as hell ain't coming from the GOP.
Abou Jjihad: "350 dollars for the Yazidi girl in Mosul if you want LOL"
Abu Selefie: "I heard there were slaves in Raqqa is it true?"
Abde-Rahman: "I saw it was around 180 dollars per slave LOL"
Abou Muhammad: "You have revived a tradition"
Abou Jihad: "Yes I heard brothers say there are some in Raqq
a as well" […] "180 dollars must be [the price] for the ugly ones"
Abde-Rahman: "LOL I am laughing so hard"
Shinobi: "LOL And how much is it in spare parts? Check and see if you can get kidneys or livers there is demand."
LOL! Nothing's funnier than talking about harvesting organs from live slaves, amiright?
Dawla: "What are the slaves for? Is it like your wife but without a marriage contract?"
Amine: "If they become Muslim are they freed?"
Abou Jihad: "It's not really like your wife, they can be used for intercourse [the writer uses a vulgar French expression for sex], you make her work in the house, and you send her to work at your parents', stuff like that."
Cara: "If she becomes Muslims it seems to me that you don't have to free her. It's obligatory if you have a child with her…"
Dawla: "You can have children with her?"
Cara: " Yes but [then] she would then be free."
Abou Jihad: "It's the child that is free, not the woman (if she is not Muslim)"
Mehdi: "Personally does not sound appetizing"
"I prefer my future wife rather than a dirty slave."
Dawla:" So you can be intimate with her without a marriage contract? And you can have more than one?"
Abou Jihad: "Yes […] they are idolaters, so it's normal that they are slaves, in Mosul they are closed in a room and cry, and one of them committed suicide LOL and Yes I have 350 dollars LOL"
Abou Selma: "And what if the slave refuses the intercourse? And what if your wife refuses to let you have intercourse with the slave?
Mehdi: " Wow those are good questions…"
Dawla: "Women are so jealous, they will never agree"
Abou Jihad: " A woman that stays at your house and that doesn't want you, after a while she will crack, she will have to have sex with you. And also the slaves are scared of the mujahidin so they feel that they have to LOL"
Abou Selma: "Second question: what if your wife refuses?"
Abou Jihad: "She can't refuse
"It's a tradition"
Mouhamad: "I have 3500 dollars to spare, I am going to buy 10, who wants one?"
Oh, wait…did I say nothing was funnier than talking about harvesting organs from live slaves? I was wrong! Because suicide, LOL!
Head over to MEMRI for screen caps. Then decide where you want to expend your feminist outrage.

A few days ago, President George W. Bush appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. During the course of his appearance, President Bush presented his host with a portrait of Leno that he had painted himself.
At the time, I theorized that if Obama were to present Leno with a portrait that he'd painted, it would be of…Obama, not Leno.
And today, after seeing this photo of President Obama, taken in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of JFK's death, I think I have a clear answer.
All Obama, all the time.

The full text of Reid's 2005 floor speech:
Mr. President, yesterday morning I spoke here about a statement the Majority Leader issued calling the filibuster a "procedural gimmick."
The Websters dictionary defines "gimmick" as – – "an ingenious new scheme or angle." No Mr. President, the filibuster is not a scheme. And it is not new. The filibuster is far from a "procedural gimmick." It is part of the fabric of this institution. It was well known in colonial legislatures, and it is an integral part of our country's 217 years of history.
The first filibuster in the U.S. Congress happened in 1790. It was used by lawmakers from Virginia and South Carolina who were trying to prevent Philadelphia from hosting the first Congress.
Since 1790, the filibuster has been employed hundreds and hundreds of times. Senators have used it to stand up to popular presidents. To block legislation. And yes – even to stall executive nominees.
The roots of the filibuster can be found in the Constitution and in the Senate rules.
In establishing each House of Congress, Article I Section 5 of the Constitution states that "Each House may determine the rules."
In crafting the rules of the Senate, Senators established the right to extended debate – and they formalized it with Rule XXII almost 100 years ago. This rule codified the practice that Senators could debate extensively.
Under Rule XXII, debate may be cut off under limited circumstances.
- 67 votes to end a filibuster of a motion to amend a Senate rule
- 60 votes to end a filibuster against any other legislative business.
A conversation between Thomas Jefferson and George Washington describes the United States Senate and our Founders Fathers vision of it.
Jefferson asked Washington what is the purpose of the Senate?
Washington responded with a question of his own, "Why did you pour that coffee into your saucer?" "To cool it," Jefferson replied. To which Washington said; "Even so, we pour legislation into the senatorial saucer to cool it."
And this is exactly what the filibuster does. It encourages moderation and consensus. It gives voice to the minority, so that cooler heads may prevail.
It also separates us from the House of Representatives – where the majority rules. And it is very much in keeping with the spirit of the government established by the Framers of our Constitution: Limited Government…Separation of Powers…Checks and Balances.
Mr. President, the filibuster is a critical tool in keeping the majority in check. This central fact has been acknowledged and even praised by Senators from both parties.
In fact, my colleague from Georgia – Senator Isakson – recently shared a conversation he had with an official from the Iraqi government. The Senator had asked this official if he was worried that the majority in Iraq would overrun the minority. But the official replied… "no….we have the secret weapon called the 'filibuster.'"
In recalling that conversation, Senator Isakson remarked: "If there were ever a reason for optimism… it is one of [the Iraqi] minority leaders, proudly stating one of the pillars and principles of our government, as the way they would ensure that the majority never overran the minority."
And he was right. I spoke yesterday about Senator Holt and his 1939 filibuster to protect workers' wages and hours. There are also recent examples of the filibuster achieving good.
In 1985, Senators from rural states used the filibuster to force Congress to address a major crisis in which thousands of farmers were on the brink of bankruptcy. In 1995, the filibuster was used by Senators to protect the rights of workers to a fair wage and a safe workplace.
Now Mr. President, I will not stand here and say the filibuster has always been used for positive purposes. Just as it has been used to bring about social change, it was also used to stall progress that this country needed to make. It is often shown that the filibuster was used against Civil Right legislation. But Civil Rights legislation passed – – Civil Rights advocates met the burden.
And it is noteworthy that today the Congressional Black Caucus is opposed to the Nuclear Option. For further analysis, let's look at Robert Caro, a noted historian and Pulitzer Prize winner.
At a meeting I attended with other Senators, he spoke about the history of the filibuster. He made a point about its legacy that was important. He noted that when legislation is supported by the majority of Americans, it eventually overcomes a filibuster's delay – as public protest far outweighs any Senator's appetite to filibuster.
But when legislation only has the support of the minority, the filibuster slows the legislation …prevents a Senator from ramming it through…and gives the American people enough time join the opposition.
Mr. President, the right to extended debate is never more important than when one party controls Congress and the White House. In these cases, the filibuster serves as a check on power and preserves our limited government.
Right now, the only check on President Bush is the Democrats ability to voice their concern in the Senate. If Republicans rollback our rights in this Chamber, there will be no check on their power. The radical, right wing will be free to pursue any agenda they want. And not just on judges. Their power will be unchecked on Supreme Court nominees…the President's nominees in general…and legislation like Social Security privatization.
Of course the President would like the power to name anyone he wants to lifetime seats on the Supreme Court and other federal courts. And that is why the White House has been aggressively lobbying Senate Republicans to change Senate rules in a way that would hand dangerous new powers to the President over two separate branches – the Congress and the Judiciary.
Unfortunately, this is part of a disturbing pattern of behavior by this White House and Republicans in Washington. From Dick Cheney's fight to slam the doors of the White House on the American people…
To the President's refusal to cooperate with the 9-11 Commission… To Senate Republicans attempt to destroy the last check in Washington on Republican power…To the House Majority's quest to silence the minority in the House…
Republicans have sought to destroy the balance of power in our government by grabbing power for the presidency, silencing the minority and weakening our democracy.
America does not work the way the radical right-wing dictates to President Bush and the Republican Senate Leaders. And Mr. President, that is not how the United States Senate works either.
For 200 years, we've had the right to extended debate. It's not some "procedural gimmick." It's within the vision of the Founding Fathers of our country. They established a government so that no one person – and no single party – could have total control.
Some in this Chamber want to throw out 217 years of Senate history in the quest for absolute power.
They want to do away with Mr. Smith coming to Washington. They want to do away with the filibuster. They think they are wiser than our Founding Fathers.
I doubt that's true.
Truth pouring from the mouth of Harry Reid; you don't see that every day. And yesterday he threw it all away for a lie…the lie that Senate Republicans are blocking President Obama's judicial appointments at an unprecedented rate. Here's the truth:
According to a May report from the Congressional Research Service, President Obama had 71.4% of his circuit court nominees approved during his first term, which is slightly better than George W. Bush's 67.3% level of success during his first term.
President Obama also didn't fare the worst when it comes to district court nominees. During his first term, 82.7% of Obama's district court nominees were approved, George H.W. Bush had 76.9% of his nominees approved.
And, for the record, Obama's nominees are being confirmed in fewer days than Bush's appointees.
But in recent years, it's the amount of time it takes to get a nominee approved where the most radical change has taken place.
For example, during Reagan's first term, it only took 45.5 days for one of his nominees to get approved. That number escalated only marginally over the next 20 years. But by the time George W. Bush was in office, the number skyrocketed to 277 days. Obama has fared slightly better than Bush, with his nominees taking 225.5 days to get approved. But historically speaking, it's still a severe departure from most presidencies.
So, at the end of the day, Obama's experience may not be quite as unique as he wants the public to believe. (Full article.)

Today Fox News revealed a bizarre, newly restyled newsroom and Twitter reacted. As Jenny Erickson said, "Fox News, and let's face it — you're mocked enough as it is. You hardly need to bring it upon yourself."
My favorite description of the new technology came from The Verge:
Smith later demonstrates a gigantic 38-foot-long video wall with a device "never been used in broadcast television before." It's a remote control that allows Smith to shuffle through an image carousel with no apparent journalistic purpose. "For instance, I can take this lady who's been evacuating from a hurricane zone and move it over here," Smith says.
All I could think, when I saw those newsroom staffers in the background sitting at those ridiculously large touch screens was, "Where's Edith Ann?"

I don't care how you feel about firearms, it should concern you that the people charged with educating children are too stupid to be able to differentiate between a weapon and a keychain.
Yet another student has landed in trouble for having something that represents a gun, but isn't actually anything like a real gun.
This time the student is 12-year-old Joseph Lyssikatos, a student in advanced math who had perfect attendance last year. The seventh-grader made the mistake of bringing a ridiculously small, silver keychain shaped like a gun to Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School in Coventry, R.I, reports local NBC affiliate WJAR.
The two-inch keychain fell out of Lyssikatos's backpack while he was at school.
After another kid picked it up and displayed it to other students, a teacher intervened and impounded the keychain.
And it's even worse than that.
The Feinstein Middle School handbook entitled "Serious Disciplinary Infractions" declares: "Possession/carrying/use of/threat of use of a firearm or replica shall result in a recommendation for expulsion for a period of time up to one full calendar year."
I wonder. Do the school officials who handed down the suspension believe that the keychain is an actual firearm or a replica of a firearm? It's hard to tell which it is from the photo.
Just kidding.
Not only are these school officials too stupid to differentiate between a real threat and, shall we say, no cause for concern whatsoever, they can't even correctly interpret the language used in their own policies. In my dictionary, and I'm guessing in every other dictionary in America, "replica" is defined as "any close or exact copy or reproduction."
I admit to not keeping current with all the latest trends in firearms, but I'm fairly certain no one is making any that are barely larger than a quarter. I wonder what kind of ammo that would use, anyway. Seed beads?
Do I believe middle school students should be allowed to bring weapons to school? Of course not. Do I believe they should be allowed to bring toys that no rational person with an IQ over 17 would mistake for a firearm? Why, yes. Yes, I do. So shoot me with a keychain.

The art of drawing maps or charts, was carried on, in medieval times, in the monasteries; it has been greatly influenced by the work of Catholics.
- Domnus Nicolaus Germanus, a Benedictine monk (1466) was the first scholar to modernize Ptolemy and make him generally accessible.
- Cardinal Fillastre (1348-1428) had Ptolemy's maps drawn from a Greek original.
- John Ruysch (1460-1533), a Benedictine, published a famous map of the world representing the new Spanish and Portuguese discoveries in America.
- Canon Martin Waldseemüller (1475-1522) was responsible for the naming of America, being the first to use this name on a wall map and a globe.
- Martin Behaim (1459-1507), a German Catholic, constructed the oldest globe, now at Nuremberg.
- The most celebrated monument of medieval cartography, a map of the world, in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice, was the work of a Camaldolese monk, Fra Mauro (1459).
- Abraham Ortelius (1527-98), a Catholic of Antwerp, made the first modern atlas which combined the maps of the world and contained a catalog of maps with the names of 99 cartographers who lived before 1570.
- The Jesuit missionaries made maps of the territory they explored and a famous map of the Chinese Empire (1717) was due to their efforts.New Catholic Dictionary

Journalist: 'I Should Never Have Gone Near The Assads'
By editor
Originally published on Fri April 20, 2012 6:06 pm
A video appeal to the wife of Syrian President Bashar Assad asks her to persuade her husband to stop the killing. The campaign for Asma Assad to "stand up for peace" was started by the wives of British and German ambassadors to the United Nations. Melissa Block talks with Joan Juliet Buck, the last American journalist to spend time with the Assad family before the latest civil strife began in Syria.

XenoPort Reports Fourth Quarter And Year-End 2013 Financial Results
XenoPort, Inc. (Nasdaq:XNPT) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $2.9 million, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2012. Net loss for the fourth quarter was $19.1 million compared to net income of $3.0 million that resulted from a non-cash gain from XenoPort's litigation settlement with Glaxo Group Limited (GSK) in the fourth quarter of 2012. At December 31, 2013, XenoPort had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $58.7 million.
XenoPort Business Updates
Since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2013:
- XenoPort completed a successful follow-on public offering of XenoPort common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $67.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.
- XenoPort reported that it received feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Division of Neurology Products regarding potential development plans for XP23829 as a potential treatment for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Based on the feedback, XenoPort believes that it could initiate Phase 3 clinical development using XP23829 doses that produce monomethyl fumarate (MMF) exposure similar to that produced by the approved dose of TECFIDERA (dimethyl fumarate). XenoPort also believes that the FDA will require additional information on XP23829 before determining the applicability of the Section 505(b)(2) pathway for a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission.
- XenoPort indicated that it plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA Division of Dermatology and Dental Products for XP23829 as a potential treatment for moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis and plans to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of XP23829 for this indication by mid-2014.
- Net sales of HORIZANT ® (gabapentin enacarbil) Extended-Release Tablets in the United States in the fourth quarter grew 34% compared to the third quarter of 2013, which was the first full quarter of XenoPort's commercialization of HORIZANT. The total number and the trajectory of growth of HORIZANT prescribed tablets achieved all-time highs. HORIZANT prescribed pill counts increased 27% nationwide for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2013. In territories where XenoPort is actively promoting HORIZANT, total prescribed pills for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2013 increased by 39% compared to the third quarter of 2013. This compares to no growth in non-promoted territories.
- XenoPort reported positive top-line results of a Phase 4 clinical trial that evaluated lower doses of gabapentin enacarbil for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) in adults. The study was conducted by XenoPort's former commercial partner, GSK, as part of the post-marketing commitments imposed by the FDA in connection with its approval of HORIZANT for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe primary RLS. The most common adverse reactions in adult patients with moderate-to-severe primary RLS taking HORIZANT are somnolence/sedation, dizziness, headache, nausea and fatigue.
Ronald W. Barrett, Ph.D., chief executive officer of XenoPort, stated, "We are currently focused on preparing to initiate Phase 2 development of our novel fumarate product candidate, XP23829, later this year. Our Phase 1 clinical trial results indicated that XP23829 can deliver relevant plasma concentrations of MMF with a desired pharmacokinetic profile. While Phase 1 data in a small number of subjects must be viewed cautiously, we are intrigued by the pharmacodynamic effects of XP23829 on immune cells in peripheral blood of healthy subjects, particularly when XP23829 was dosed once a day. We hope to establish optimal dosing of XP23829 in our planned Phase 2 psoriasis study and use this information for dose selection for potential Phase 3 trials in psoriasis and/or relapsing forms of MS."

Normally Deacon Greg is the one blubbering over these sorts of videos.
As you know, I am tough.
Elizabeth Scalia
WOW Don't know if she'll win the contest, but WOW.
Hope she decides in favor of marriage for herself and her baby and God.
Well, Deacon Greg and I are going to have to fight over the tissue box! What a witness to life.
I don't blubber… I silently trickle
I certainly do not care for this kind of singing. The judges are a bunch of emotionally blithering nitwits. The girl YELLED instead of "singing a song." You silly, stupid, incoherent, considerably illiterate nitwits wouldn't know a good song if it bit you on the butt. The more noise and yelling, the better you like it. In the last 10 years or more, I have been to so few musical venues that were enjoyable to listen to. Some I have had to leave. Other, I have had to get as close to the exit as I can so that I don't lose my hearing. E.G., most of the dim witted jerks that sing out our beautiful National Anthem mess it up so horribly that I am ashamed! I'd like to throw the pathetic creatures in jail for a few days. Like so many things, America is losing it's soul: the loss of virtue, decency, so many women that dress like street walkers and think nothing of it ….. and it shows up in so many songs and the way that they are sung. By the way, "sung" is the "past participle" of "sing." Do you even know what a past participle is? "It's like". "You know what I mean". "You know what I'm sayin'" Put "at" at the end of sentence without an "object" preceding in the sentence. What am I thinking: most of you don't even know what "an object of the preposition" is.
[Yeah....the point wasn't really about her singing, which I found meh. The point was about her story, and that whether or not she's a great singer, she did something great in her life. -admin]
I've known several women put in that exact spot, doctors telling them to choose between keeping their babies or treating their cancer. God bless this lady for talking so frankly about her story on TV. She may have inspired someone else in that situation to choose life. Thanks for posting this Ms. Scalia.
To Joel DuBois, this story is not about the singing so much as the courage to 1) have a dream, 2) get up on a stage 3) do your best 4) accept the results. Over and above risking her life to save the life of her baby, she did all of the above. Her real triumph was her courage to make the world aware that there is an alternative to aborting the life of a gift from God. Personally, I don't like singing in general, with pop-type singing at the bottom of the list. I would not even know how to grade her singing ability. She does show the instinct of motherhood that makes all the lullabies ever sung by terrible singer/mothers sound so beautiful and comforting to their babies. Peace and God bless.
Joel DuBois…really? Do you think this story is posted so we can critique her actual vocal talent? And grammatical lesson along with your long winded and hate filled comments? You missed the big picture. Maybe if your spirit were less punishing you might enjoy the story and bear with the not so perfect singing style.
Wow….@Joel DuBois…you need to come out of your shell and tell us what you're REALLY thinking. I agree with The Anchoress; her singing was mediocre at best, but she is inspirational.

Throw a blind tasting of wine--we chose Syrah-- from around the world, then serve an easy dinner made to match.

Party conversation thrives when you compare a few different bottles of the same wine. It's a fun way to learn more, no matter how much you already know about wine. Add the challenge of a blind tasting, plus a dinner matched to the wines, and you have a Saturday night party that people will talk about afterward too. We've planned an easy menu, so you can concentrate on rating the best Syrahs.
Choose a wine you'd like to know more about that is made in different parts of the world (or different regions in one part of the world), and decide on a price range. We picked Syrah -- which is showing up more and more on wine lists -- from three places: France's Rhone Valley (its original home), Australia (where it's called Shiraz), and right here in the West.

We boarded the Kenya Airways flight at around 02:00 and took off half an hour later. I slept two hours on the three-hour flight, all the sleep I would get for that night. We deplaned in Nairobi in the predawn darkness around 5:30 am. In spite of the fatigue, the night smelled wild and fresh, something I always enjoy experiencing on the plains of East Africa.
I had a reasonable cup of caf� au lait in the one airport restaurant, and a small bottle of water and then sat and read for four hours or so. Short of stretching out on the dirty floor, which some passengers do, it's very difficult to sleep in the Nairobi Airport; the seating, with permanently fixed hard armrests are not amenable to it.
We boarded the Rwandair flight to Kigali at 09:00, and took off fairly quickly, the plane, a new 737-800 was quite empty.
After flying over Lake Victoria, we landed in Kigali to find a military honor guard with band on the tarmac waiting to welcome or send off someone important. The immigration man noticed right away that I had put pastor down as my occupation: "welcome!" he said expansively, "praise His name." I thought, "yes, may our lives do so."
I moved quickly through customs and took a taxi to Chez Lando, a hotel I've used on and off since around 1998 when it reopened after the genocide attempt in 1994. I quickly showered and changed and called Mr. Mundeli to let him know I had arrived. He said he would send a trusted taxi for me right away. I took the time to print some handouts for my presentation and make photocopies in a small shopping area across the main street.
By the time I got back to the hotel Samuel, who I knew from many former visits, was waiting with a different vehicle than last time. This one is fairly new and actually has the steering wheel on the left side, which is to say the right side for driving on the right side as they do here.
We shared a lunch of leek soup, followed by chicken and rice with French fries, and a vegetable medley with a red sauce, and a soft drink each. Meat is a rare treat for many people here, so we took our time and allowed everyone to savor every bite.
We started the seminars again at 2:00. I spent about 90 minutes going over a section of the new manual of guidelines for church activity organization. There were many questions and it was a useful session.
Back at Chez Lando, Jim and I caught up on the news, and then had dinner in the outdoor barbecue pit which is famous in Kigali for its goat brochettes (I usually order beef brochettes, they're less tough and now no more expensive than goat).
Mr. Franks will have more work to do today - the office work never stops not even in Africa, and I will have an early night!
Nous sommes heureux de savoir que tout va bien pour vous, nous vous souhaitons une bonne suite de votre voyage et un très bon Dernier Jour des Pains sans Levains demain soir et vendredi.
Hi Joel,
It's great to see photos of Mr. Franks at the leadership class and to read names that are becoming familiar. Your blogs let us get acquainted with our brethren. The leadership seminars must be so encouraging for the members. It looks like everyone enjoys the fellowship. We hope you catch up on some rest after the long delays in transit.
Joel, it seems as if the Africa way has not changed much for you on this trip. Praying you get more rest. It is wonderful to be able to put the names and faces together as you and Doc Swartz share your travels with us. Thank you so much for the walk through your visits as you do God's work. Our prayers are with you and our brethren.

The Second Inauguration of Barack Obama
Washington, DC...This morning, at 11:55 AM Eastern Time, President Obama delivered his Second Inaugural Address. The speech was 2,137 words long and took 15 minutes to deliver. "America's possibilities are limitless," he said, "for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together." The full transcript is enclosed...
Inaugural Address by President Barack Obama
United States Capitol
THE PRESIDENT: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice,
members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:
Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional -- what makes us American -- is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Today we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they've never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. (Applause.) The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.
And for more than two hundred years, we have.
Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.
Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers.
Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.
Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune.
Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.
But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people. (Applause.)
This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. (Applause.) An economic recovery has begun. (Applause.) America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. (Applause.)
For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. (Applause.) We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own. (Applause.)
We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. So we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed.
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. (Applause.) For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn.
We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at any time may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us. (Applause.) They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great. (Applause.)
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. (Applause.) Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more powerful storms.
The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition, we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its promise. That's how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure -- our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.
We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. (Applause.) Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. (Applause.) Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war; who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends -- and we must carry those lessons into this time as well.
We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully –- not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. (Applause.)
America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe. And we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa, from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice –- not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity, human dignity and justice.
We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths –- that all of us are created equal –- is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth. (Applause.)
It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. (Applause.) Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law –- (applause) -- for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. (Applause.) Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. (Applause.) Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity -- (applause) -- until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. (Applause.) Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia, to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm.
That is our generation's task -- to make these words, these rights, these values of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life. It does not mean we all define liberty in exactly the same way or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time. (Applause.)
For now decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. (Applause.) We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today's victories will be only partial and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years and 40 years and 400 years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall.
My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction. And we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty or an immigrant realizes her dream. My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.
They are the words of citizens and they represent our greatest hope. You and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country's course. You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time -- not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals. (Applause.)
Let us, each of us, now embrace with solemn duty and awesome joy what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.
Thank you. God bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of America. (Applause.)

Levi Jones admits Porter kicked his butt, 1 on 1
bunglefans creamed over the release of the damning "video" of the las vegas incident..
they cried for an "odell/henry like" suspension for the former steeler.
they even begged for criminal charges to be brought forth, and made joey porter, k-o'ing the poor defenseless bungle, out to be a worse than o.j. 'assaulting" his ex-wife.
the bunglefans and their wacky, backwoods media, would have the world believe their poor little bungle was jumped and robbed in front of thousands of people and hundereds of cameras, yet levi jones tells a different story:
JONES VS. PORTER: Left tackle Levi Jones, who got jumped
by Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter and a gang
of his friends in a Las Vegas casino back in March, isn't saying much about Sunday's date in Miami. He said he's focused on one of the best pass rushers in history, Jason Taylor, but does expect Porter to be among five or so Dolphins he'll face in a multiple scheme.
Porter got cited for the incident and was fined three game checks by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell,
but Jones has always been a bit bemused how the media portrayed the incident.
"It was, 'David vs. Goliath,' ''Jones said. "Not 'David and his army vs. Goliath.' ''
i cant believe this crap these people [continue to] write. no wonder bunglefans are so delusional.

Northwestern coach Chris Collins admitted he wasn't known for his defense when he played at Duke.
"So for [Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski] to be at one of my games where my team holds a team to 35 points, that means a lot to me," Collins said.
Krzyzewski watched from the stands as the Wildcats limited Western Michigan to 24.4 percent shooting in a 51-35 victory Saturday at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
"It was great to see him and hear what he had to say. It was an honor to have him in the building," said guard/forward Drew Crawford, who had 15 points and nine rebounds to help Northwestern (5-5) snap a three-game losing streak.

8-year-old Yemeni child dies at hands of 40-year-old husband on wedding night
An eight year-old child bride died in Yemen on her wedding night after suffering internal injuries due to sexual trauma. Human rights organizations are calling for the arrest of her husband, who was five times her age.
Al Nahar, Lebanon, reported that the death occurred in the tribal area of Hardh in northwestern Yemen, which borders Saudi Arabia. This brings even more attention to the already existing issue of forced child marriages in the Middle East.
"According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), between 2011 and 2020, more than 140 million girls will become child brides. Furthermore, of the 140 million girls who will marry before the age of 18, 50 million will be under the age of 15."
It is reported that over a quarter of Yemen's young girls are married before the age of 15. Not only do they lose access to health and education, these child brides are commonly subjected to physical, emotional and sexual violence in their forced marriages.
One of the main issues is that there is currently no consistent established definition of a "child" that has been agreed upon worldwide. This leaves various interpretations within countries and little protection for those who are affected.
Establishing this age limit is among the top priorities of groups like HRC which was responsible for publishing the 54-page report "How Come You Allow Little Girls to Get Married?", documenting the lifelong damage to girls who are forced to marry at young ages. Most pro age-limit organizations agree that 18 should be the legal age for marriage.
In February 2009, a law was created in Yemen that set the minimum age for marriage at 17. Unfortunately, it was repealed after more conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.

Children are a heritage from God and anyone who makes them stumble, its better a milestone be hung on their neck and be thrown in a river!!!!!! No sympathy on people who mistreat children to this level!!!!! Am also aware that this little girl had parents, are they just insane!!! They need to be punished, Well God who loves the little children will surely bring judement to people who mistreat childre!!! Its everyones responsibility to help children be protected and loved
There will be no peace for anyone who caused this little girls death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Um, does this scenario remind you of someone? A 52 year old man that married a 6 yr old girl and slept with her when she turned 9? Absolutely no difference. People say, well that was a custom in those days. And I say, they also used to bury their baby girls alive in those days. It still doesn't make it morally right. And someone with morals does not marry a baby. A child's body is still a CHILD, just like this poor little girl, and the many countless other baby girls that have died or have been mutilated in this fashion that no one knows about. So when someone wants to quote chapter and verse, start thinking about whom you serve and emulate. For a man to have intercourse he must be excited by the female. What is it about a 9 year old girl that turns on a 52 year old man so that he can have sex with her? It was wrong back 1300 years ago, and it's wrong now.
There is really something wrong with the men in that country. How could they do such thing? These men are even worst than animal and shouldn't live in this world.
That is just the most horrific thing I have ever read. These so called 'MEN' are just SICK, SICK, SICK in the head and nothing but dirty pedifiles. May they ROT in hell, over & over again!
fvck the government and the fvckin pervs! put a spider on his butthole! this is so alarming putting a child in a situation she doesnt even know yet?hilarious! and the parents they have no brains! a child should be at the school or better yet playing,& enjoying the world. have mercy oh Lord.
If I Was Lucifer, I'm Gonna Have A Very Good Time Torturing That F****** 40 Years Old Son Of A S****-Eating W**** In Hell.
damn. poor 8 year old child. When I was 8 years old I was playing jackstone! can't even imagine that these horrible things do exist. -.-
Most children (ages 3-11) do not know much about sexual relations (and if they do, they were probably molested/raped) or even how to be a spouse to an old man and even pre-teen/teenagers (12-19) are usually misinformed about sexual matters and are not mentally capable of being a mature spouse. From reading the previous comments, especially this culture, girls and women are kept ignorant. This is so sad, disgusting and inhumane.
So these pedophiles use the excuse of "religion"...
Un-islamic??? Maybe time to change what the f**** "Islamic " is then!!!
Who in their right mind would think something like this is ok????
Please be aware that this attitude toward women is not just Islamic, it's here in the US too!
what's wrong with the world?! can't they just get themselves older ladies? this is too much injustice!
Considering the size of an Arab penis as large as a horse, surely the child suffered a sexual trauma even to the extent of a sex organ damage. Now, tell me if that culture is based on Q'uran and I tell them go to hell with their Q'uran; I'ts plain and simple barbaric and has no place in a civilized world.
Absolute disgrace - the world we should do something about this it should not be happening in this century or any century.
Instead of venting our anger we must all rally together and get sonething done
Poor little girl!
What can we do together to stop this the devils work?
Carl from Sweden, since you are so focussed on proper English, I'd like to inform you that your piece is challenging to read given that you don't write in paragraphs Writing in paragraphs breaks up the text, each paragraph has a point and makes it easier to read, therefore your message comes through clearly.
Frankly, I lost track and stopped reading.
Thank you Carl... you took the words right out of my mouth. Thank God for common sense! It appears there is a serious lack of education across the board judging by some of the comments left on here. A proper education is a powerful thing and NO ONE should ever be denied the opportunity to learn and achieve. The Yemeni government is in dire need of re-education if they believe it is acceptable for children to be sexually abused by middle-aged perverts!
You will all burn in Hell-you f***** idiot-
"How Come" though? Really? If the HRC wants to write a report to this government in the hope of making them listen, they really need to use proper English. "Reasons You Should Not Allow Children to Marry" would be a much better sentence than "How Come You Allow Little Girls to get Married". Also making a statement instead of a question won't put the giv. so much on the defensive. They don't want them to defend their non-law. It sounds like a very uneducated person wrote that title. I know it sounds like i'm just talking sh*t, but really, if people what other countries to take them seriously, they really need to know how to speak their own language in the first place. It would be good if this report had international medical doctors talking about the physical damage sex at such a young age does to a female's body, and be very straightforward about it, because I really don't think that surrounding countries just giving them a piece of their minds will do much good (since the law was repealed before anyway), but if people from the international medical community could talk about the medical reasons it's so bad, and maybe psychologists could talk about how children aren't mentally able to be in a marriage, and how waiting until they are adults will create the ability for a healthy family and household, and also maybe economists could talk about how much better their economy would be if the women had some education, then they would start to listen. Because sadly, otherwise, It seems the government really doesn't care. But if you show them how they are destroying their own country by allowing this, they will listen, even if they still pretend not to.
You do understand that they do not care whether children are old enough to understand marriage or sex. You can word it all nice and sound educated all you want but, it won't make any difference. They DO NOT CARE about the damage and pain and even death that sex can cause. They don't care. If they did, they would not force their children to marry or want to marry children. They are just objects to the men in that society. They know that sex will hurt the child not just physically but mentally as well. They are not stupid. They know that. They just don't care.
Well said. It's easy to stir up us and pour disgust on it but it takes an effort to research such a piece and consult pofessionals to presents the cold hard facts as to why this is seriously f***ed up and perhps provide a wake up call to these countries. They are never going to listen to outsiders at this rate unfortunately. They would say we are disrespectful of their beliefs. If they can be convinced that these beliefs are not what their god would want for them because it is unhealthy and shows unwise judgement, perhaps progress can be made.
Muslims are p********s in nature!
What a DISGRACE your Country is, we are in the 21st Century niot the DARK AGES :-( END THIS NOW.
loool this is happening in EVERY you racist ppl out there ..have you for got that in the "land of opportunity and freedom" fathers are raping their own freaking daughters...so lets not point fingers ....child abuse is everywhere...and for ppl that dont have brains and use islam as the reason are absolutely the dumbest stupidest ppl ever you dontknow islam then and islam is far from this filth...sick and tired of hearing about ppl using my beautiful way of life as the reason...blame it on your dumb brain and devil in your body...
For f**k sake. How can some men find an 8-year-old child sexually attractive?!?! That is just SICKENING and absolutely HORRIFIC!! THese men should be CASTRATED at least!!! And put away from society for ever!!!!!!!!
How much did that pervert pay for that child? If the country is in such ruins to where parents are having to give birth in order to sell them before they are even preteen then perhaps it is time for a relocation effort instead of who is going to toss down the next bomb..it's not like we don't already have them all accounted for in the World records, so split them up and relocate each family or at least the ones who have young daughters into safer parts of the world...honestly there is room somewhere and if they want better lives than what they have now, I seriously do not think they would beg to stay where they are now..As for the ones who do stay, chances are they are perverts anyway so let them love each other and let the children just be children..Although we are made of a bunch of different countries, we are still just only "1" world..And 1 world can relocate those 50 million innocent babies and any women left call it the spay and neuter program and fix them all...either they leave or get fixed..sounds fair to me and if religion disagrees then why not ask if God agrees allowing his children to be hurt like that..well? does God agree??
Sick pedophiliac bastards. That includes the heartless parents who pimped her out. Disgusting.
