Good morning ladies, its Tuesday, how are you today?

Hey there. I stayed off my feet as much as possible today. My foot is a lot better, the sprain is a lot better but the side of my foot is still very painful. I can walk better and stay on it longer before it starts hurting again. I managed to vacuum the family room and cleaned up some clutter. I did the dishes as well today. I got the kids up at a good time and all had time to get ready, eat breakfast. It was a good morning. Tim had a late start but it was all fine. He took my car again today. After he got home I ran an errand to the grocery store to get something he needed for dinner and Matthew a poster board. He has a project he's been working on and he needs to finish it up tomorrow to turn in on Thursday. Girls spent the evening drawing and creating things to hang in thier room. Katie had homework to finish up.
Tim made a really good dinner with cabbage and smoked sausage. It was really good.

Hi everyone. It felt like a busy Tuesday at work, but the day went well! After work, I ran a bunch of errands. Now I'm ordering some things with my kohls 20% coupon and then we are going to have taco's for dinner
Kayleigh overslept this morning, her alarm didn't go off so Dh had to drive her to school. Now she is staying late for play rehearsal. Ian had a regular school day and is going to Boy Scouts tonight
I plan to spend the evening having a fire, a glass of wine and writing Christmas cards.
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 1:18pm
Nothing back on the job either. And it most certainly is NOT helping the situation. SIGH. The guy that interviewed me said he had no idea when I'd hear back. Maybe a week, maybe longer. But I would hear back. I gave them a working email address, and my cell number is the only number I've ever put on a resume.
I have a test to take for a dispatch job with the city next week. I was going back and forth about going there or not, unless I hear back with a yes for this other job, I'm going to take the dispatch test.
At least dh and I have come to a decision that all we are doing Friday is putting her down. No tests, bloodwork etc. The last time it was almost $400! That was kind of stressing me out too, but I think we can go and just say put her down. I kind of feel bad about that one- but I don't think there's anything we could do to help her. I guess if we'd put her on thyroid medicine it would have been better- but I'd heard stories where that did nothing for the animal- or just made them mad (and I don't think this cat would have been happy having to take a pill every single day for the rest of her life).
I just wish Kristen wouldn't stress so much. I think she's happy there. Wants to go back next semester. I do think this school is the best "fit" for her (even though it is kind of expensive).

Good news- we found the cat.
Bad news- we are probably going to be putting her down on Friday :( She's not doing well at all. That is- if she makes it to Friday. I don't know. All she wants to do is hide, so I've set up a warm comfy place in the garage. She was hiding in the wet bathtub.
I'd do it now- it's just that Kristen's not home. And I had to lie to her yesterday and tell her that the cat's fine. Why? Because she'd worry and she's got 3 more days of finals to deal with. And as I said this morning to the ladies at food closet- she puts a heck of a lot of undue pressure on herself. Especially since all I told her we expected from her was a high enough GPA to keep her scholarships. 2.7. She's pushed herself to a 3.5 and says she wants Dean's list.
No activiites tonight.

This is his first year with them so he wasn't sure what to expect. At the company wide meeting they handed identical giftboxes to all and said they all contained a $400 card to Amazon. DH placed a new cell phone case in my cart and told me to use the rest for whatever. I used some of it for gifts today and the rest use for curriculum or gifts as the need arises.
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 10:50am
Sorry about the bonus Heather! I guess the only consolation is that you can buy just about anything on Amazon! DH's grandmother gets us a $50 gift card to amazon every christmas. I usually end up spending it on the girls in the end, especially with birthdays in March and April.

A consultant leading a study to update the operating manual for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin plans to give an update on his work at a public forum tonight.
The Development Authority of Dawson County announced Friday that the monthly unemployment rate dropped in Dawson County for the first time since August of last year.
Amicalola Falls State Park appears to have dodged the state's first round of restructuring, but Department of Natural Resources officials say the lodge may not be so fortunate.
Some of Dawson County's young professionals gathered for the third time May 22 in efforts to bring a local chapter of the United States Junior Chamber, also known as Jaycees, to Dawson County.
The creator of an award-winning children's educational video collection announced earlier this month he plans to give the DVDs to Dawson County children free of charge.
Developers have a year to begin new construction if they want to take advantage of the county's new impact fee structure.
The growing number of residents who lack health insurance and the money to pay for medical care have a new option that's nearly as good as a house call.
Recent talk that a high performance police car automaker was considering a site in Dawsonville may have been wishful thinking on the part of a local real estate agent.
The Development Authority of Dawson County announced April 23 that the county's unemployment rate slowed during the month of March, even though the rate was higher than the previous month.
Teams are still forming for Dawson County Rotary Club's annual charity golf tournament to be held at Chestatee Golf Club next Tuesday.
Dawsonville is in the running for an assembly plant that would build a specialized, high performance police car.

By noon, the women of Sugar Valley Country Club had already stocked up on the early morning, after-Thanksgiving bargains at North Georgia Premium Outlets and were hoping some leftover turkey and veggies would give them the blast of energy needed to continue their Black Friday shopping tradition.
Commissioners last week approved a rezoning that will make way for a new grocery store and retail center at the intersection of Ga. 400 and Dawson Forest Road.
An estimated 140 million shoppers will take advantage of holiday sales, some opting to forego the traditional Thanksgiving dinner and hitting the stores early in hopes of getting one of those advertised pre-Black Friday super deals.
The unemployment rate for Dawson and neighboring counties in the region continues to fall.
The job search has changed dramatically over the years. Advances in technology and the decline in the economy have changed the way people get hired.

Soak Up the Sun Fabric

As the weather heats up, it's time to think about fabric craft ideas to take advantage of the sun. This Soak Up the Sun Fabric tutorial from Lynda Heines is a great way to get reacquainted with the sun and with fabric crafts. These instructions are excellent for anybody interested in projects with fabric and anybody looking for a good time. Once you follow this accessible tutorial, you'll have a beautiful printed piece of fabric that you can decide how to use.
- Setacolor Transparents
- jars
- water
- sponge brushes
- fabric (can be almost any piece of clothing or fabric)
Pour some of the Setacolor into each jar, adding as much water as you'd like. The more water, the lighter the color.
Before mixing you paint, soak your fabric in water. It doesn't have to be cold or hot water – just get the fabric wet.
Cover your work table with plastic, then wring out your fabric and spread the wet cloth on the plastic. It's a good idea to use a clear or white plastic cover on the table.
Then just paint to your heart's content! These are fern leaves placed on top of the fabric after it was painted and while it was still wet.
Paint over the ferns (or whatever you're using) to adhere them to the fabric.
This piece uses needlepoint canvas for masks.
- Then put them out in the sun and wait for them to dry. Once dry remove the masks. Heat set by ironing the dry fabric and you are done!

WOOT WOOT - Perfect for an artichoke dip. Yum!
Perfect. But I made the mayo from scratch. Fresh squeezed lime juice fit the bill perfectly. pre-minced garlic? (Yeah, right) I have to hand it to you...the proportions were dead on. The red onion: perfect.

Picked mine up tonight at the Kings Plaza Sears in Brooklyn, NY. I asked the kid who rolled it out of the back if they have sold many of them in the last 24 hours. He looked at me like I had two heads and said "since Christmas we haven't sold much of anything. it's dead." I guess that is Sears for you.
Thanks again for posting.
I ordered online from Costco last Friday. Can anyone comment on how long it took them to get their TV standard shipping w/ white glove? They changed the status to shipped on Monday but the Home Direct USA tracking page doesn't even show it as picked up yet. Just impatiently waiting and wishing it would've come surprisingly fast.
EDIT: I should add I'm in Seattle and it's shipping from Mira Loma, CA.

Well, I tried making another thread, but it disappeared. The Panasonic P55UT50 is now $699 at the Costco B&M at Castleton, Indianapolis. They doubled the rebate until 2/24 from $50 to $100. If you picked up this recently from Costco, it might be worth your while to check your store for a price adjustment!
Got my $53 back today.
I didn't have a Costco membership and decided against getting one since I never shop there so this cost almost exactly $900 all-in-all w/ tax, surcharge, and white glove. I'm wondering if there's any justification at this point to cancel and wait for something else, but I'm otherwise okay with it. I just wonder if there's any other deal I could snatch up real soon, but it seems everything's drying up and I just want a TV ASAP.

I watched bits and pieces, the main portion of my viewing entertainment being when Manning was on the field. Other than that I saw DT catch a pass and Champ make a tackle.
So what's the incentive of this game again? The players receive a free trip to Hawaii, they get paid cash bonuses for winning and losing, oh, and the MVP gets a free car on top of all of that. Out of control.
I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseam, but there needs to be some sort of incentive for the team to win besides cash. At least in MLB the winning team grants that division home field in the World Series.

Chicago Two-Arm Table Lamp
Industrial Two-Arm Articulated Desk Lamp | Was $695
Item #A5965
Customize This Product
Had you witnessed the advent of electric lights, you might have seen the original of this desk lamp. It was offered in an 1883 catalogue from S. Bergmann & Co. of New York, just as gas lamps were giving way to their electrified siblings. Sigmund Bergmann, in fact, was one of the fathers of electric lighting; he was Thomas Edison's partner. While Edison worked on his light bulb, Bergmann worked on the means to use it. A lamp with two adjustable arms would have done the trick, amplifying and directing the light of those dim early bulbs.
The shade clips allow the shade to float slightly, which creates a halo of illumination around the socket. The Polished Brass interior of the shade creates a flattering, golden quality of light.

Color: A Natural History of the Palette
Random House Publishing Group, Dec 18, 2007 - History - 464 pages
In this vivid and captivating journey through the colors of an artist's palette, Victoria Finlay takes us on an enthralling adventure around the world and through the ages, illuminating how the colors we choose to value have determined the history of culture itself.
How did the most precious color blue travel all the way from remote lapis mines in Afghanistan to Michelangelo's brush? What is the connection between brown paint and ancient Egyptian mummies? Why did Robin Hood wear Lincoln green? In Color, Finlay explores the physical materials that color our world, such as precious minerals and insect blood, as well as the social and political meanings that color has carried through time.
Roman emperors used to wear togas dyed with a purple color that was made from an odorous Lebanese shellfish–which probably meant their scent preceded them. In the eighteenth century, black dye was called logwood and grew along the Spanish Main. Some of the first indigo plantations were started in America, amazingly enough, by a seventeen-year-old girl named Eliza. And the popular van Gogh painting White Roses at Washington's National Gallery had to be renamed after a researcher discovered that the flowers were originally done in a pink paint that had faded nearly a century ago. Color is full of extraordinary people, events, and anecdotes–painted all the more dazzling by Finlay's engaging style.
Embark upon a thrilling adventure with this intrepid journalist as she travels on a donkey along ancient silk trade routes; with the Phoenicians sailing the Mediterranean in search of a special purple shell that garners wealth, sustenance, and prestige; with modern Chilean farmers breeding and bleeding insects for their viscous red blood. The colors that craft our world have never looked so bright.

Link: British Election Results Projected On Big Ben Tomorrow - British general election big ben - Gizmodo
Edit: My wife was watching the 8:00 60 second news bulletin on BBC1 this evening when the reported [I think it was Riz Lateef] said in a report:
"...David Cameron has gone all night..." and quick as a flash my wife said: "...without wetting the bed!"
It made me laugh and was better than my contribution which was:
"Lucky Mrs. Cameron!" [Or perhaps not?]

I made it to the Roof of Africa!
We all made the summit and Thomson Safaris boasts 98% success. We were a group of six and had never met each other before. We all got on really well together.
We were treated royally!
We had the incredible experience of climbing to the rooftop of Africa with Thomson Safaris and summited at daytime, when we could fully take in the grandeur of the views and glaciers, in picture perfect weather conditions
I am so thrilled I joined this wonderful trip.
I was very nervous about traveling alone for this trip. I researched many companies and every time, Thomson Safaris came out as the best.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Sell Madison Square Garden If the Rangers Lose?
By Rocco Pendola - 04/26/12 - 8:14 AM EDT
Tickers in this article: MSGNEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Another Game Seven goes off Thursday night in the National Hockey League playoffs. The New York Rangers host the Ottawa Senators at Madison Square Garden. I am working feverishly to ensure that I am firmly planted on the couch by 4:30 p.m. PT with Molson Canadian in hand. There might not be a better time of the year than the NHL's second season. I happen to be a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. This, however, does not mean that I dislike all other Canadian franchises. In fact, when the Leafs are out of the race (every year), I root for Canadian teams. I was born in Western New York, but have always identified in many ways with Canadian culture. Right now, the Sens are the last Canadian team standing. Up until yesterday, I was preparing to root for them to win this evening. Then, I read an article by Mike Ozanian in Forbes, titled: Senators Set to Extract $300 Million from Madison Square Garden Shareholders. Mike wrote a nice article, but he did leave several things out. He estimates that every time the Rangers host a playoff game, Madison Square Garden
The Company's, MSG Media segment's and MSG Sports segment's results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 were impacted by the NBA work stoppage. The delay in reaching an agreement . . . delayed the start of the 2011-12 NBA regular season by approximately two months until December 25, 2011. In addition to the delayed start, the resolution of the NBA work stoppage resulted in the 2011-12 regular season being shortened by 16 games, or approximately 19.5%, to a 66-game season. A higher percentage of games will be played in the second half of our 2012 fiscal year as compared to the comparable period of the prior year. In the second quarter of our 2012 fiscal year, the Knicks played a combined 6 preseason and regular season games, of which 2 were home games and 4 were away games, as compared to a combined 40 preseason and regular season games in the comparable period of the prior year, of which 18 were home games and 22 were away games.If the Rangers lose tonight, they could actually miss out on up 21 games over three potential playoff rounds (Eastern Conference, Semifinals, Eastern Conference Final and the Stanley Cup Final). If each series went seven games, I am pretty sure MSG would miss out on 11 or 12 Rangers home games. The home games represent the bigger hit, but Ozanian also left out the fact that MSG would lose advertising and other dollars on the missed away games. But, is this a reason to sell or not buy the stock? Stock Performance MSG has been on a roll lately. It closed at a 52-week high of $35.43 on Wednesday, trading as high as $35.55 intraday. I am not certain we can attribute the stock's run since late last year to the Rangers' games, though they didn't hurt. Neither did Jeremy Lin-Sanity or the Knicks' forthcoming playoff appearance. In the short-term, the bear case is that the Rangers lose tonight and the Knicks get swept in the first round. The bull case would have both teams going to their respective league finals, creating a potential scheduling nightmare at MSG. But, that's all short-term stuff that might impact a day or swing trade, but likely as little to do with the long-term narrative here. As a long-term investor, I will continue to buy MSG no matter which near-term scenario plays out. I do not own the stock on the basis of a sports team's fluctuation between winner and loser. I own MSG because of the massive cross-platform opportunities it can leverage as sports team owner, venue owner, content owner and regional advertising juggernaut. As I noted in an article on TheStreet earlier this month, MSG's unique situation also makes it a prime buyout candidate for a larger player in media and/or telecom.

KVH Industries Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2010 Results
Speaking about the company's financial results, Patrick Spratt, KVH's chief financial officer, said, "Our fourth quarter performance on both the top and bottom lines was within the range that we expected, but overall not quite as strong as we would have liked. Sales of our fiber gyro products exceeded our expectations. Gross margin for the quarter was lower than expected, due in part to product revenue mix, and also because we experienced a greater seasonality effect on our airtime activation and usage than we'd anticipated. Quarterly operating expenses were up year over year primarily as a result of ongoing investments for mini-VSAT Broadband sales and support, and also because of the addition of Virtek Communication in September. Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance was roughly flat compared to September 30, 2010, at just over $37 million."
Looking ahead to 2011 and beyond, Mr. Spratt said, "We are on a solid path of executing our strategic plans to expand our VSAT, marine satellite TV, and FOG businesses. These efforts form the basis for building toward progressively stronger financial results with four- to five-year targets of annual revenue greater than $300 million, more than half of which would be generated by our VSAT business, along with operating margins of 15%."
In 2011, we plan to pursue our strategic initiatives aggressively, including the rollout of a number of exciting new products, the first of which will be introduced in four days at the Miami International Boat Show. We expect that 2011 will be a year of strong top line growth of 15% to 20% and an approximately 75% improvement in operating profit compared to the reported level in 2010. However, we do anticipate challenges in the first quarter. Among these are the continued slow pace of FOG sales for remote weapon stations during the CROWS II to CROWS III transition period, a delay in resumption of LiveTV shipments until the second half of 2011, and the full cost impact of the mini-VSAT Broadband network buildout, including Brazil and some additional capacity for the continental U.S. As a result, we expect first quarter revenue to decline 5% to 10% on a year-over-year basis as well as experience a loss of $0.05 to $0.10 per share before returning to profitability in the second quarter. We are determined not to allow these near-term business challenges to cause us to compromise on making strategic investments to achieve our long-term targets."

This week's episode of the GeekScholars Movie News podcast kicks off by covering the big headlines, particularly Colin Treverrow directing Jurassic Park 4, and the Veronica Mars movie being completely fan-funded thanks to Kickstarter, but each topic dives into some deeper issues and discussion.
Does the Jurassic Park franchise have any place left to go? Is it a good idea to hand over such a big franchise to a relatively untested director? And in terms of Veronica Mars— is budget outsourcing from fans the new paradigm? What are the pros and cons of that?

A few questions on client's modules and limits
Please kindly answer two questions regarding ISPConfig 3 setup.
1. Is it possible to safely change the modules shown to clients? For example, I don't want to let some clients change (or even see, for that matter) the DNS settings. I know there's a System --> CP Users section where I can theoretically do this, but there's a warning about a possible data loss, and also the manual (which I downloaded by becoming a subscriber) says that this section is for admin users only.
2. I made an error of judgement when setting up the server - sadly I created all the clients' web sites etc while logged in as admin (obviously I should have done so by logging in as the clients themselves), and now I have a mess with limits and quotas, because the client's limits and quotas (that is, limits and quotas that were set by me when creating the clients) do not work for the entries created by admin. (I found this out too late - well, I was thinking that it was enough to just assign a web site etc to the client to make the limits work...)
So the question is - is it possible somehow to change the ownership of all these records from admin to the corresponding client? (Deleting and recreating the records is, sadly, not an option, because it's a production server, and there's 150+ sites there already).
The warning is about changing username/password/groups
Please, someone tell me if I'm wrong
Simply change site quotas as admin, that's all.
Client's quotas/limits is about the client capacity of creating/changing things. If you don't want your client to modify his site, you must create it as admin.
Of course, this is a problem if your client is a reseller. In this case, you must create reseller with *CUSTOM* template, and make all other changes login in ispconfig3 as reseller.
Thank you for your reply,
as for 1) - hopefully it's all right, but I'll also highly appreciate an answer from one of the developers of ISPConfig, because it's a production server I'm talking about, and I am a little bit nervous about making experiments.
as for 2) - in some cases I have a situation when, say, three sites belong to a client. I have allocated, say, 1 gb for all these sites totally. I want the client to be able to split this 1 gig of hdd space among his 3 sites. In the current setup (as explained in my first post) it's not possible because the client can't change each site's limits imposed by admin. So best of all for me is to allocate some total hdd space for CLIENT - and let him manage the rest.
That's why I'm wondering if it's possible to change ownership without recreating everything from scratch.
If I think of it, one never knows when a client will buy another site, and then your idea of changing permissions is really usefull (and necessary)
Does someone know if is it possible to change a site's ownership?
Is this enogh to apply client's limits on site, or if you created it as admin client's limits won't apply?
I think this is what dimas is trying to ask
Also, is it safe to change a client modules from system->cp users->edit users?
Thank you for your replies.
Till, I understand what you wrote about clients and limits, my question is about a slightly different matter.
My problem is that I created all the sites and records on my server while logged in as admin (and that's a lot of sites and records). Yes, I did assign each site and record to the client it belonged to - but the problem is that if I log in as a client now, I see all the sites and records that I should see as a client, but I can't change anything.
It's OK when it comes to some global values - like total disk space assigned to a client - that indeed should be set by admin and there's no need to let the client change it (of course!).
But, as I said earlier, there are situations (like when a client has several sites) when a client needs to change each site's hdd quota WITHIN the total hdd quota limit imposed by admin. Like, if it's two sites and one gig totally, from 500 mb / 500 mb to 700 mb / 300 mb, if the client realises that his first site needs more space, and that his second site turns out to be a small one.
It would have been easy if I had created the sites while logged in as a client. But as I said - unfortunately I did this as admin, and so basically now I'm trying to find a way to make all the sites actually created by admin behave as if they had been created while logged in as a client.
Is it possible?
Client's traffic quota is not more than a virtual limit, is the maximun quota a client can assign to all his websites. But the only real traffic quota is site's traffic quota
Am I wrong?
Yes, thats correct. This is the way all quotas are applied.

In the Book of Luke in the King James Bible – – somewhere in the 8th chapter . . . I believe it is verse number 15, there is some talk about how Jesus is comparing good soil to good-hearted and honest people . . the kind of people who hear The Word of God, who cling tenaciously to it and then who go out and spread that Word to others.
Now if there ever was a verse about Christian generosity that one is it in my opinion.
Please notice that those people who receive some of the richest gifts imaginable are prone to be led by The Holy Spirit to share them with others rather than being tempted to store them up selfishly to themselves.
Obviously this verse is not speaking about Conservatives . . . especially the kind of conservatives that litter the political landscape in America today.
If the contemporary conservative gets hold of something that is especially good and if it is something the like a lot they have this tendency to hang onto whatever it is – – to try and figure out how they can get hold of more of it – – and then they start thinking about ways they can get all of whatever it is. To share the good things they have amassed for themselves with others? Rare! Very Rare among that kind!
In fact aren't they the very ones who work their asses off trying to figure out ways to keep others less fortunate than themselves from getting any of the good things of this life?
Isn't that what motivates them to vote down funding for government programs that provide any measure of relief to the needy so they can horde the funds that might have been thus used up so they can give themselves and their rich counterparts newer and ever-bigger tax breaks and incentives to horde more up for themselves and then to ship their profit offshore to keep from having to pay taxes on it?
Prove to me there is any Christianity in that kind of mentality and I will eat a handful of dirt.
I won't really eat the dirt – – but it is kind of fun to say it.
Selfishness, no matter how somebody might try to explain it away or no matter how hard they might try to justify it is in no way, shape, fashion or form anywhere near a Christian virtue and the so-called "Christian Conservatives" who act like this are lying about their religion or they are practicing a form of Christianity that Jesus would never recognize.
But they are master revisionists so just maybe that is what they have done: Maybe they have rewritten the scriptures in their own minds to make them say whatever makes them comfortable . . . or more wealthy than ever.
Maybe Jesus' mission on earth was to make right wing assholes rich!
Yeah, that's it!
I think some of them actually believe this to be true.
They sure as Hell act like it sometimes don't they?
The sad truth is that when a lot of radical right wing pretend-to-be conservatives who are also pretend-to-be christians talk about The Bible or about Jesus they are blowing off about things they have no clue about.
I think it is kind of like The Devil.
The Devil knows scripture in and out and round about – – He knows scripture verbatim – – He can quote the Bible like an Angel – – but in all truth, the Devil has no idea about what the Scriptures He can spout so easily means – – none at all. To Him the Bible is just a crazy book of words and phrases because God has blinded His eyes to truth and He couldn't recognize it if it bit Him in the ass.
That is the cumulative effect of long periods of unrepented sin – – to that kind of individual the Bible is a book of meaningless stories and if the sinner ever does understand any of it it becomes a horror story filled with all kinds of threatening stuff – – stuff like going to Hell and all that kind of stuff.
But the redeemed in Christ do not have to worry about the horror stories any more because their futures will be such that they will not have to fret about going to Hell or any of that other stuff that some of the right wingers are always wanting to pound people over the head with.
I am afraid that a lot of righties are following a false religion these days – – a religion that looks Christian in every respect but which has absolutely none of the soul or essence of the real thing.
The Bible says, "By their fruits ye shall know them."
The fruits of righteousness are definitely not allied with some of the evil things a lot of the right wingers try to do to other people.
For example: No one is ever going to convince me that a real Christian would cast a vote against government funding to expand the unemployment compensation program for millions of jobless Americans who struggle every day just to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads.
And that is just one example among many.
Think about it.
Think about it.

Democracy in Europe (Paperback)
|Paperback 272 pages
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 3-5 days
Delivered FREE
in the UK
Taking inspiration from the heated discussions that preceded the birth of federal government in the United States, Larry Siedentop investigates what we can reasonably expect and what we have to fear from a united Europe. Despite the profound hostility between skeptics and proponents of a united Europe, the outlines of serious public debate have barely been sketched. While skeptics talk of national sovereignty and invoke the spirit of wartime resistance, Europhiles embrace the idealism of eurozones and sound economic management. Larry Siedentop examines whether representative government is feasible across the vast physical scale and human diversity of Europe. He explores the threat to local autonomy and individual freedom, and he anatomizes the widely different political cultures of Britain, France, and Germany. He balances throughout an understanding of the great theorists of supranational government, especially Montesquieu and De Tocqueville, with a deep, though critical, appreciation of contemporary Europe. Siedentop argues that it is only on a publicly discussed and commonly agreed upon constitution that one can hope to build a democratic Europe equal to the pressures it will have to withstand.

Writers' Strike Continues, But Both Sides Talkingby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Finally, in the third month of a bitter strike by TV and screen writers, there's something in the air. At least a little something.
"I think that there's a cautious optimism out there right now," one writer told CBS News. "The general mood is pretty hopeful," said another.
The Writers Guild and the studios have started talking again, the ice broken after the Directors Guild reached a deal first.
The big issue remains how much directors, actors, and writers earn in royalties when their work is downloaded from the Internet.
The writers' strike has meant only 11 episodes of Grey's Anatomy in its fourth season - one that was supposed to mark the show's return to glory.
So the pressure to settle is huge, the writer's strike already costing Hollywood more than a billion dollars.
Continue reading this strike update ...
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy
I read this on TV Guides web site from Michael Ausiello:
Justin Chambers weighs in on a possible Alex-Izzie reunion on Grey's Anatomy, while his costar Sara Ramirez hints that there still may be hope for Callie and George.
hey guys i found this from ausiello on a greys website.. bad news for you merder fans…. AUSIELLO: Grey's finally gives Cristina a storyline. Grey's Anatomy may have run out of original episodes last Thursday but luckily the spoilers don't end there. No siree. According to my Grey's mole, the next episode, which was in the process of being written when the strike began, will thrust Cristina into 2 major storylines. One of them I already told you about a romance between her and Joshua Jackson's doctor character. The other I didn't and that's because I just found out myself. I'm hearing that Dr. Yang will be the one to help Meredith get over her split with Derek. A breakup that, my mole insists, will stick for awhile, at least until the conclusion of the Derek/Rose arc.
I think the picture is extremely appropriate. Meredith and Derek remind me of the writers and the producers. We really want them to get together and be happy and solve all their problems, but the producers (Meredith) either can't or simply won't give the writers (Derek) what they want and need. However, us viewers are rooting strongly for both sides to come together and give us many happy hours of excellently scripted television.
Constance G.
Sorry if anyone has said this before, I havent read the comments of any of the other articles on this issue.
i really really really hope that too, and it's obvious that they are now the closest to an agreement. i'm afraid if they don't agree now, in the following days or weeks maximum, the season is definatelly lost (it hurts to even say it!)
I am SOOOOO keeping my fingers crossed that they will come to an agreement SOON! I read somewhere yesterday that they were close to an agreement! I hope so and that means that we will get some more NEW episodes of GA if it does end soon! Lets hope so!
