But you see, you can throw a monkey wrench into the works of a machine, but that does not change the machine's intended function. Only its current ability to function as intended.
Still, he makes a fair point about making monkey-wrench (or theist wrench) proof machines.
I will support your point by adding that what your opponent is arguing is might makes right, or at best an ad populum with authoritarian spin fallacy. It's really a no brainer.
I can be a d**k neanderthal idiot and teach my kids that 2+2 = God, or i could be wise and irrelevant to religion and teach them the truth about 2+2 ='ing 4.
Morality and ethics come as a result of appreciation for the truth of things, and as easy as it is to shut one's ears and eyes to the truth it does not make it any less evident.
are you saying I'm making those claims?
If so, prepare to defend your words, as I would never argue for ad populum with authoritarian spin, that would ******** me over so exceptionally much
No sir, i'm stating that your proxy justification for the abuse of the system is one of ad populum authoritarian spin, as using the power of one's position beyond the extent of the system's purposes (I.E. Using that system to cram religious belief into people) is very much an argument of ad populus and authority.
This is because what you're essentially saying is "If I or others use this secular government for underhanded religious purposes and succeed, it is no longer a secular government despite it's secular laws."
While this may or may not be YOUR opinion, i felt it necessary to point out as an authoritarian statement appealing to an argument of populus.
That being said, the system is certainly not perfect. If there are abusable laws that can be used to relegate special cases for theocratic indoctrination or otherwise, they should be changed to be more effective in blocking out that method of coersion, but it's people who abuse their power, not the government's laws themselves, that usually cause this to happen.
oh, what I'm trying to argue is that the FFs were okay with that concept, if not in theory, but in the way they set it up. I believe that it is clear that religion was supposed to play a role (see detockville (sp?) and his morality comments), but don't necisarially agree with how far it has gone.
Not "you're being sneaky, good job" but "you're abusing a well-known and intended loophole, smart move"
That said, I never once wrote my personal view of the matter, so nobody here knows it (hehe)...
Then the next question to be raised is "What proof do you have that this loophole is intentional?"
Let's keep in mind that a secular government at it's core would do what it can to block out these attempts at "taking the people's truck for a ride" and you'd have to ignore a lot of laws retroactively, including the bill of rights to do so.
Now let's put it quite simply. If the Bill of Rights (or any founding document within this country) was written as a means to end religious oppression within this country, then would any religious law that comes after be anything short of an immoral and unrighteous power-play for the sake of lying about the efficiency of one's own beliefs by hijacking the work of those who are driven by belief in reason instead of divinity?
The answer seems very clearly that any abuse of such a system would not warrant ownership for the work and power of the system when it is fully functional.
Like if I shot you in the head and argued that you were always meant to have a new sphincter.


text: 18 February 2004 archive Tweet See all show photos A RICH rainbow of forest green, navy, plum, red (which is looking big for winter), pale mint, sky blue, fuchsia, dusty rose and grass green - with a touch of silver - provided the perfect setting for a typically luxury, feminine collection from Nicole Farhi yesterday. The big-haired British designer has an extensive and loyal fanbase and she gave them good reason for a wardrobe clear out yesterday, providing clothes that will take them from the office to the post-work cocktail to the weekend with stylish aplomb. Sexy fitted trousers suits came in tweed or wool while berets and cheeky kick pleats in the back of pencil skirts or over the bottom on a curvy cropped jacket gave a chi chi French element. Wrap dresses, which are looking to replace the sweater dress as a wardrobe staple for next winter, appeared in wool or pretty silk floral prints and high-waisted belted dresses, worn with Mary Jane shoes and cardigans, gave a nod to fashion's current Forties theme. The appeal of Farhi's designs are in the small, ultra-feminine detailing that tempts her customers back again and again, and next season they'll be after corsages nestled at the base of their spine on sexy backless silk robes and Twenties-style drop-waisted dresses accessorised with glittering lace shrugs. Throw over a sumptuous belted trench in suede, leather or pony skin, add plenty of hair gloss and you're there. (February 18 2004, AM) Continue reading Back to top

Registration is closed for children for Fall 2014. College Students may still register by contacting email@example.com. Registration for children will open again on January 1 for Spring 2015.
College students and parents who have already enrolled in the program, sign in to your account on our Partners in Reading website to receive information, update your account, and to view information about your partner.
Every fall and spring semester, we pair college students with grade school students to read together and enjoy the library. The pairs meet once a week for 45 minutes, throughout the semester.
Children in 1st through 6th grades are welcome to participate in fall and spring sessions. In the spring, kindergartners are welcome to join in, too!
Meeting times are flexible! Participants may select any 45 minutes on Mondays through Thursdays from 3:30 through 8:00 pm.
In the program last semester? Want to join this year? Get more information about the program here!
The goal is to foster a lifelong love of reading and of the library. Partners in Reading is not a tutoring program.
We try really hard to match every child that signs up for the program. We hope you'll understand that the number of kids matched depends on the number of college students that register – and vice versa!
College Students
We do require that volunteers participate in an orientation session before you start the program. There's a lot to learn!
We also require that volunteers undergo a criminal background screen before you can be matched.
The library reserves the right to choose the volunteers that are able to participate in the program.

Three Charlotte-area legislators and Ellen McIntyre, dean of UNC Charlottes College of Education, have been named to a task force to advise N.C. lawmakers on teacher pay.
The 2013-14 budget, which included controversial changes in teacher compensation, created an 18-member task force to study incentives to recruit and keep effective educators, including a possible performance-pay system. The group will report back to the General Assembly no later than April 15.
House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, appointed his nine members this week. Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger will appoint another nine.
State Rep. Rob Bryan, a Mecklenburg Republican and attorney, will co-chair the task force, along with a leader appointed by Berger. Bryan is a first-term legislator who serves on the House education committee.
Tricia Cotham, a Democrat, was a teacher and administrator with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, most recently at East Mecklenburg High, before becoming a state representative in 2007.
State Rep. Craig Horn, a Weddington Republican, represents Union County and serves on the education committee.
Tillis also appointed Rep. George Graham, a Democrat from Kinston, and five other people with education expertise: McIntyre from UNCC; Rebecca Garland, chief academic officer for the N.C. Department of Public Instruction; Timothy Barnsback, president of the Professional Educators of North Carolina; teacher Richard Nixon and principal Michael Putney, both recommended by the N.C. Association of Educators.

Are ALL Sellers LYING MORONIC DOUCHBAGS??

Re: Are ALL Sellers LYING MORONIC DOUCHBAGS??
I have owned more boats than cars. Some bought privately and some via a broker.
When dealing with an unknown broker, I tell them straight up how much I will spend and warn them that if I find any undisclosed defect or if the boat stinks, I will walk away and not deal with them ever again. I do my own preliminary survey, which is based on experience and a general 'feel' for how clean and tidy the boat is.
As a result of this, I bought four (including my current boat) and sold my last three boats through the one broker. Sadly she passed away a few years ago, but she was honest and never wasted my time on any junk. Further, if in her opinion a boat was unsafe, she would not market it and if it was daggy she would give the seller a reality check on likely market value. So not all brokers are scumbags.
When looking around for good boats, it pays to concentrate on areas where real sailors sail; where the weather is not always kind but they go out anyway. e.g. Tasmania in Australia has more really fine boats per capita than anywhere else locally and I suspect that the same could be said in the USA for areas like Maine. The boats will often be properly-equipped, more seaworthy and better maintained than the marina queens found in warmer climes.

The world has turned upside down. The leader of Russia recommends peace, good sense and Godly behavior while US leaders preach an obsession with war, amateurishly fumble diplomacy, and embarrass their nation in front of the world.
This is one of the greatest WTF moments of my life! And I thought 2013 would be a crazy year!

It is an amazing development - on top of the other amazing development in the Syria situation this week - the possibility of Russia negotiating the Syrian relinquishment of chemical weapons - thus averting a war. If that is a fumble or an embarrassment - let's have more of them!

The Watchtower has been a very useful tool to discover a more coherent view of Bible prophecy.
This doesn't mean they have it right! But, they seem to be uncannily wrong on everything they try to interpret. To get it right just make sure you look in a different direction from the Watchtower.
Putin's behavior fits the role of the King of Fierce Countenance at Daniel 8:23
I like the NIV reading of Daniel 8:23-25
23 "In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking
First of all the Watchtower fails to understand that when the Bible refers to "a king" it is not referring to a particular nation but an actual person. So they jump to the conclusion that the stern faced King is the United States/Great Brittain.
Well there are three identifiers of this king in vs 23:
1. fierce-looking (some translations say "stern faced"
2. master of intrigue (some translations say "master of deception"
3. becomes powerful but not by his own power
Putin is known to be stern faced. Check out 50 pictures of Putin looking like a bad ass http://www.funnyordie.com/slideshows/7df05c1f10/pictures-of-vladimir-putin-looking-like-a-complete-badass
Master of deception? How about being the head of the FSB (successor to KGB) Master Spy.
The third is kind of a riddle. He became powerful in spite of not having risen through elected channels. He was appointed by Yeltsin only later to have been elected.
Read the Book:
The Man Without a Face
What remains to be seen is the remaining verses of that prophecy. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself

Putin, of course, does not believe in peace any more than he believes in the UN.
He blocks every resolution in the UN that would condemn Syria for killing civilians. Syria is an ally of Russia; it's that simple.
He is lobbying for his ally, and paints it as advocating for peace.
Putin says that the US should not strike Syria for killing civilians; his words are of course worthliess in view of the Russian treatment of Georgia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93Georgia_war
So it is hard to take Putin, the macho shirtless ex-spy, seriously.
Putin is a KGB thug; research how many journalists have been killed in Russia during his presidencies and his time as prime minister.

Not to start a conspiracy theory - but maybe Putin engineered the Sarin attack to test the will of Obama. It has been suggested that Berezovfsky hatched the plan to blow up poor residential apartment buildings in Moscow to make it look like the Chechens did it. Those bombings were the pretext for Putin's attack on Chechnya which elevated him in the eyes of the public solidifying his chance of winning the elections that took place that spring.

Russia is an autocracy and along with China is seeking to increase it's influence among other autocracies. Assad could not be seen to cower to pressure from a liberal democracy but Putin has offered him a way to save face. Putin is hypocritically assuming a moral high ground.
There are reports that there have been numerous low level chemical attacks by Assad during the war so far. It is not impossible that the recent major attack was simply a cock-up.
Obama should not apologise for standing up to Assad.

The US has no friends in Syria; the rebels will sooner or later be taken over by radicals. Assad is the brutal dictator who kept the peace, like so many others before him.

Queens is full of different cultures, ethnicities and social groups, and the art produced in the borough reflects that.
African-American theater, film and music venues have become major contributors to the borough and help tell the stories of nearby artists and artists from around the world.
Many of these spaces were founded in the 1970s when cultural expression within the black community was beginning to take a different turn that embraced their ancestors' roots as well as American contemporary theater and film.
Most famously, there is the Apollo Theater in Harlem but smaller venues that focus on attracting locals have become more and more popular as they expose people to art they might otherwise never get to experience.
The largest of these venues in Queens is the Black Spectrum Theatre, founded in 1970 by writer, producer and filmmaker Carl Clay.
It is the only professional theater company reaching out to people of African descent in Queens and serves the large African-American, Caribbean-American and Latino populations in the area including Jamaica, Hollis, St. Albans and Laurelton.
Originally created to be a theatre troupe, Black Spectrum Theatre traveled throughout the borough and the country to put on shows for viewers.
The group now has a 325-seat state-of-the-art theater at 177th Street and Baisley Boulevard in Jamaica, where it serves 20,000 audience members annually through various plays, musicals and a social issue video series.
Though Black Spectrum is certainly the largest, it isn't the only Queens venue founded by and catering to African Americans.
The Afrikan Poetry Theatre, located at 176-03 Jamaica Ave. in Jamaica, opened its center in 1978 with a mission to bring jazz, funk and African rhythms to members' poetry.
"As the years have gone on, we've taken on new goals," Saiku Branch, the program coordinator for the theater said. "We work on a lot of social programming with adverse youth and while we still have poetry, open mics and piano classes, we try to keep everything affordable for families."
Branch said the need for people to understand culture will always be present and that the best way to meet it is to reach out to youth.
"We believe that if people understand the beauty of their culture, they'll aspire to do more," he said. "We've been opening up to work with groups from Central America, India, Pakistan to help young people in a low-income environment have a place to belong."

About Buffalo Grove crime rates
Buffalo Grove is safer than the majority of cities, towns, and villages in America (81%) and also has a lower crime rate than 79% of the communities in Illinois, according to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI crime data. How risky is that? Your chance of becoming a victim in Buffalo Grove is one in 111 based on the total crime rate (violent and property crimes, combined). In America overall, your chance of becoming a victim of crime is 1 in 31. It is for these reasons that Buffalo Grove is ranked as one of the top 100 safest cities in the U.S.A.
Additionally, NeighborhoodScout analyzed all cities and towns in America with a similar population size to Buffalo Grove, and we found that the crime rate in Buffalo Grove is one of the lowest in the nation for its size. This means Buffalo Grove is one of the safest places in America in which to live for its size, a very important finding.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Buffalo Grove does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Buffalo Grove.
For Buffalo Grove, NeighborhoodScout found that the violent crime rate is well below the national average for all communities of all population sizes. Violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery happen less often in Buffalo Grove than in most of America. One's chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime here is one in 8337, which is a violent crime rate of 0 per one thousand inhabitants.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis of property crime reveals that the property crime rate in Buffalo Grove is below average to all cities and towns in the nation. This means that you are less likely to become a victim of arson, motor vehicle theft, larceny, or burglary in Buffalo Grove than in most communities in America. Your chance of becoming a victim of property crime if you live here? Just one in 112.

Supreme Court Won't Hear Appeal From Illegal Gun Dealer
June 1, 2009 - 10:03 AM<br />
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Gerard Cavera, an Army veteran in his 70s who got six months more than federal sentencing guidelines recommended for being an illegal gun dealer.
Judge Sonia Sotomayor, who last week was nominated to the high court, took issue with her colleagues on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who upheld the sentence. Sotomayor said in a lengthy dissent that only in rare instances should trial judges set prison terms that are outside the federal guidelines.

Fire Brian Schottenheimer
This is a petition directed to the New York Jets organization. Jet fans are tired of seeing wildcats on 3rd and 2, halback dives and screens on 3rd and long, and seeing Mark Sanchez have to throw ball more than 10 yards. The Jets NEED change, and this is NOT a rebuilding year. The Jets have spent too much money to consider it that, and firing Schotty is a step in the right direction.

Mixed Herbs
Edit Page Last Edit: 3 years 2 months ago
Mixed Herbs is what you get when you mix any of the three Herbs together. Of course, the three Herbs are the Green Herb, Red Herb, and Yellow Herb. You cannot use any of the Mixed Herbs unless there's a Green Herb mixed with it, but you can sell any mixture. You can end up with:
- Mixed Herbs (G+G)
- Mixed Herbs (G+G+G)
- Mixed Herbs (G+R)
- Mixed Herbs (G+Y)
- Mixed Herbs (R+Y)
- Mixed Herbs (G+R+Y)
The effects will vary depending on which herbs you mixed.
- A Green Herb and Red Herb will restore your health 100% like a First Aid Spray.
- Two Green Herbs will restore your five cells on your Health Meter
- Three Green Herbs will restore your health 100% like a First Aid Spray
- A Yellow Herb will always increase your health meter, but the restoration effect depends if there's only a Green Herb or a Green and Red Herb. All Mixed Herbs take up two cells in the Attache Case.

figured i'd post this up in case it would help anyone.
I Along with everyone else during the summer is going to have some issues controlling fermentation temps properly. So in my searching for something better then the swamp cooler and ice, and really not wanting to build the son of a fermentation chamber. I ran across a few people using wine chillers. so on went the craigslist hunt! after a day or two, i came across a 30 bottle haier wine chiller and contacted them. after work i rushed over and had it in my car... was a little bit larger then i was thinking, but the bigger the better!
Best part of this is... it holds my 6.5 gallon buckets with room for the airlock and a few inches above that without a hitch. Also, you can specify the temperature from 45-65 degrees which is perfect for me! i figure the temps inside the bucket are going to be a few degrees warmer, so if it does really heat up in there i can just knock it down a few degrees and cold crash it later on. and it was only $90! now i have it plugged in and running, and holding at 45 degrees (from 81 in about 6-7 minutes) to test it out a bit. i haven't tested fermentation in it just yet (that is tonight/tomorrow) i'll let you guys know how it turns out anyone who uses these have any tips??
Here it is about 2 minutes after i plugged it in, so it is showing 74, but got too giddy to not take a picture
Better beer, here i come!
Do you have the inside dimensions? Wondering if my conical would fit in there.
I've been wanting to acquire one of these for some time. I need to start watching craigslist for one.
I'd also be curious about the inside dimensions.
- Hatred Brewing -
Good find. For all diy'ers. For around $175 making a chamber that holds about 4 carboys. Search for thread by bucks04. Plus gets me more counter space.
here is a photo they had sent me when i described what i was doing with it. they did not ferment in it so they couldn't give me any idea how well it was going to work (not sure why ha) but hope this helps! i'll get the dimensions when i get back to my place tonight. but it does have the compressor hump in the back
my bucket comes up to right where the neck starts, HTH!
Sorry, forgot to grab the dimensions! i'll try and do that when i get home tonight. However i have a wheat ipa sitting on yeast, set it to 65* and it's sitting at 65* for the past 2 days now perfectly! this thing is rather amazing.and i dont have to open the door to check the temps either
I have the exact same one and love it, actually found mine on craigslist too. I've used it many times and it holds my temps perfect.
Before I buy one of these, looking to see how the unit is holding up for either molson or rivenin? also, would this unit fit a 6.5 g carboy with a airlock?
That is definitely going to be my next equipment purchase. I honestly don't know why I haven't thought of that before. Any clue where you could get one new?

IMF Organizes Workshop on Medium Term Budget Frameworks for East African Officials
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Press Release No. 14/56
February 12, 2014
The International Monetary Fund's Fiscal Affairs Department and Africa Regional Technical Assistance Center East (AFRITAC East) held a workshop on "Medium Term Budget Frameworks (MTBFs) for Sub-Saharan Africa" (SSA) in Nairobi during the period January 27 - 31, 2014.
Twenty-nine officials from finance and planning ministries representing AFRITAC East member countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, including Zanzibar and Uganda) attended the seminar. Mr. Neil Cole, Executive Secretary of the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative (CABRI) also participated.
The workshop facilitators explored with participants how binding MTBFs can enhance fiscal discipline and improve funding predictability for line Ministries in order to facilitate the achievement of strategic objectives. The prerequisites, however, are to have credible annual budgets; strong institutional frameworks including a supporting legal environment; reliable macro-economic and fiscal projections; and a fully integrated planning and budgeting process. Topics of discussion included: an assessment of MTBFs in Sub-Saharan Africa; constructing multi-year expenditure ceilings; medium term fiscal framework; fiscal objectives and fiscal rules; reconciling planning with budgeting; budget documentation and budget framework papers; budget institutions and processes; constructing a sector/ministry-level budget projection. Participants shared the challenges they faced in developing MTBFs and the seminar provided an opportunity for peer learning.
The workshop was opened by Mr. Samuel Kiiru, from the National Treasury of Kenya. He spoke about the challenges Kenya faces in implementing reforms and underscored the necessity of commitment both at political and technical levels. Mrs. Phyllis Makau, Director of the Kenya Parliamentary Budget Office, discussed the opportunities presented by the new legal framework and the challenges of overlapping mandates among the budgetary institutions.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Justus Nyamunga, Director of the Economic Affairs Department of the National Treasury of Kenya underlined the necessity of binding forward estimates linked to program-based budget (PBB) to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of public expenditures.
Ms. Florence Kuteesa, and Tawfik Ramtoolah, both technical assistance advisors in the IMF's Fiscal Affairs Department and AFRITAC East, indicated that they would continue to engage with the participants in the design of the suggested complementary courses, notably in the following areas: construction of baseline for the MTBF, macro-fiscal framework, program based budgeting including monitoring and evaluation.

- Rep. Michele Bachmann may suffer from migraines, according to a conservative website which is possibly trying to smear the politician. The Republican presidential contender "suffers from stress-induced medical episodes that she has characterized as severe headaches," according to The Daily Caller, which quoted "three people who have worked closely with Bachmann." The Caller claims these "episodes" occur roughly once a week and "incapacitate" Bachmann for days at a time, occasionally landing her in the hospital. Asked one aide who spoke anonymously, "As president, when she's in crisis management mode, is she going to have the physical ability to withstand the most difficult challenges facing America?" Some in the blogosphere are wondering if this leak is trying to insinuate that Bachmann cannot handle the stresses of leadership, possibly because she is a woman. Another theory is that "migraines" is a code word for "menopause," which may also make Bachmann unpalatable as a candidate. Others say there is nothing sexist at all about reporting Bachmann may suffer from migraines (or whatever). What do you think? [Daily Caller, NYmag.com Daily Intel, XX Factor, Care2]

"You Don't Need A Hazmat Suit": Want To Help Combat Ebola? Get A Flu Shot
On Friday morning, the Obama administration announced that it was appointing Ron Klain, the former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, to become the Ebola "Czar" to oversee all efforts to combat the disease. This isn't much of a surprise. After all, the president told reporters Thursday night that he would consider making such a move. But there is another, much more subtle message, hidden in this move: Get a flu shot.
When he spoke to reporters Thursday, Obama expressed complete satisfaction with his current team overseeing the Ebola response: Thomas Frieden, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the secretary of the Health and Human Services, Homeland Security Advisor Lisa Monaco, and National Security Advisor Susan Rice. But each of those four have other duties as well. Monaco and Rice are both heavily involved in coordinating the airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.
For Frieden and Burwell, their attention will soon be partially diverted to flu season. "We're going into flu season, which means, by the way, that people should be looking to get their flu shots," Obama said. "We know that every year tens of thousands of people potentially die of the flu, and a hundred-thousand or more may be actually going to the emergency room and hospitalized because of the flu. So that's something that Tom [Frieden] also is responsible for."
As I noted Friday morning, there is no reason to fear Ebola. You don't need to wear a hazmat suit when you travel. But if you are feeling helpless and want to do something to help combat the disease, get a flu shot. The symptoms for the flu—fever, nausea, vomiting—are very similar to those of Ebola. That means the more people who get the flu this year, the more people are going to panic about potential cases of Ebola, cases that the vast, vast majority of the time will prove false. Reducing the number of people who get the flu will help quell that panic.
And, by the way, the flu killed 50,643 Americans in 2012. That's another very good reason to get a flu shot.

"New Depths Of Shamelessness": Chicken Little Media Keeps Reaching New Lows
One time, my wife and I went walking near a pasture where nine mares grazed. I knew them all by name. Suddenly and for no obvious reason the herd stampeded, galloping by as if their lives depended upon it. It was a thrilling sight, like being right down on the rail at the race track.
But what were they running from? There are no predators around here capable of harming a horse. As the leaders thundered by, I noticed two fillies at the back getting skeptical. They kept looking behind and catching each other's eye as if to say "What's this about? I don't see anything, do you?"
As the fillies pulled up, the leaders thundered headlong into a run-in shed about 100 yards ahead and stopped. The proximate cause of the stampede had been a fat black horse fly on the boss mare's rump. As soon as she went under the roof, the insect flew off.
It was quite comical, actually.
We Americans didn't used to be like that. We prided ourselves on being a pragmatic, self-confident people — more like the skeptical fillies than the thundering herd. But if you believe a lot of what you read in the news media and see on TV, much of the public currently lives on the edge of panic.
The role of cable TV news channels in stoking hysteria has reached new depths of shamelessness. They do it purely for the ratings, you know.
And if you don't, the barbaric propagandists of ISIS certainly do.
Typical headlines: "ISIS Threat: Fear of Terror Attack Soars to 9/11 High, NBC News/WSJ Poll Finds." By the ghastly tactic of beheading American and British citizens on TV, Islamic extremists fighting to establish a Sunni fundamentalist "caliphate" have stampeded the nation.
Millions of Americans who wanted out of Middle Eastern sectarian wars now think the U.S needs to get back in.
If ISIS's goals are insane, so are their tactics. Politically speaking, no U.S. president could have failed to react to the organization's mad provocations. Exactly how President Obama's bombing campaign will end, nobody can say — although that hasn't stopped a thousand propagandists from trying.
Invading Iraq at all was the big mistake, and it says here that getting sucked back in to yet another Middle Eastern ground war would be to repeat it. A big part of the problem is the unreasoning fear, far out of proportion to any actual threat the nation faces.
Although my saying so infuriated certain readers, I once wrote that Osama bin Laden's "deluded followers posed no military threat to the integrity of the United States or any Western nation. At worst they were capable of theatrical acts of mass murder like the 9/11 attacks. And that was sufficient evil indeed."
But fear made us reckless. I'd say the same about ISIS. For all its ruthlessness, ISIS has no Air Force, no Navy, and a ragtag Army incapable of projecting power anywhere but the desert wastes of Iraq and Syria. Helping the Kurds defend themselves against a genocidal massacre is one thing; trying to impose a pax Americana on the entire region quite another.
Quivering in our beds for fear of a terrorist strike should be beneath the American people. It's impossible to respect shameless politicians like Arkansas Senate candidate Tom Cotton, who actually warned viewers on a TV town hall that ISIS terrorists might collaborate with Mexican drug cartels to "infiltrate our defenseless border and attack us right here in places like Arkansas."
Armies of Mexican Islamic terrorists descending upon El Dorado and Texarkana! For somebody who comes advertised as brainy, Cotton appears incapable of concealing how dumb he thinks voters are.
Then there's Ebola, which cable TV also shamelessly hypes for ratings. "I've followed cable news for many, many years now," writes The Daily Banter's Bob Cesca "and not since the lead-up to the Iraq War has the American news media behaved with such recklessness."
Among a hundred possible examples, Cesca was aghast at CNN's interviewing novelist Robin Cook, who once wrote a thriller about a conspiracy to spread Ebola foiled by a hero-doctor.
"The real issue here is how quickly it can mutate, and how that's gonna affect the transmission…" Cook said. "Perhaps this virus cannot live very long in the air. I don't know. But I don't think anybody knows."
Actually, people do know. Every professional health agency in the world agrees that Ebola cannot be transmitted through the air. As for mutating, Scientific American reports that there's "almost no historical precedent for any virus to change its basic mode of transmission so radically."
The real thing is bad enough without spreading lurid disinformation.

"One-Dimensional Foreign Policy Thinking": Leon Panetta Is What's Wrong With D.C.
When Harry Truman apocryphally said, "if you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog" he might have had someone like Leon Panetta in mind. Not content with letting Republicans pummel his old boss, President Obama's former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense released a new memoir this week that attacks Obama for "losing his way" on foreign policy, for sending "mixed messages" to allies and enemies alike and for failing to use military force more promiscuously in protecting US interests in the Middle East.
There is more here, however, than just DC-style situational loyalty. In Panetta's obsessive focus on the politics of national security, his fetishization of military force and his utter lack of strategic vision, what is also evident is the one-dimensional foreign policy thinking that so dominates Washington—and which Panetta has long embodied.
None of this should come as a surprise. When Panetta became CIA director in 2009, he was demonstrably unqualified for the job. He had no background in foreign policy, intelligence or national security. His most apparent and highly-touted skill was that he understood his way around bureaucratic Washington.
At both Langley and the Pentagon he became a forceful advocate for—or, some might say, bureaucratic captive of—the agencies he ran. As CIA Director he pushed back on efforts to expose the agency's illegal activities during the Bush Administration —in particular, the use of torture (which he had once decried).
At DoD he ran around with his hair practically on fire denouncing cuts to the defense budget in out-sized, apocalyptic terms. The "catastrophic," "draconian" cuts would initiate a "doomsday mechanism" and "invite aggression," he claimed and always without specific examples. Ironically, when Panetta was chairman of the House Budget Committee in the early 1990s, he took the exact opposite position and pushed for huge cuts to the defense budget.
For Panetta, principles appear to be determined by wherever he happens to be sitting at any given moment.
However, his irresponsible threat-mongering and his constant stream of gaffes and misstatements (like the claim that the US was in Iraq because of 9/11 and that the war was worth it) masked a stunningly narrow and parochial foreign policy vision. It wasn't just that Panetta was saying crazy things. As his new memoir shows, he apparently believed them.
Take, for example, Panetta's now oft-repeated position on troop withdrawals from Iraq in 2011, a move that as Secretary of Defense he praised but now three years later labels a failure. While Panetta acknowledges that the adamant refusal of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to maintain a troop presence in Iraq was a key impediment, he has a brilliant after-the-fact solution: the US should have just turned up the heat on Maliki.
According to Panetta, the US could have simply said that we would withdraw both reconstruction and military aid to Iraq until Maliki bent to America's will. That Panetta thinks that threatening and demeaning the Iraqi leader was a worthy step to make in order to maintain a US force that the Iraqis clearly didn't want is remarkably short-sighted. Panetta seems utterly uninterested in the question of what happens if Maliki called the US bluff or, if he said yes, how would that affect the long-term relationship between the US and Iraq. For Panetta, the only thing that mattered in 2011 was maintaining a residual US military force in the country, which he says—without much in the way of evidence—would have helped prevent the rise of ISIS.
Panetta is fond of such retrospective certainty. He asserts that if the US had backed Syrian rebels militarily it would have built up a moderate counter-weight to ISIS. He also labels the president's failure to use force against Syria when it crossed Obama's "redline" and used chemical weapons against his own people a damaging "blow to American credibility." According to Panetta, "the power of the United States rests on its word, and clear signals are important both to deter adventurism and to reassure allies that we can be counted on." The implication is that if the US had merely bombed Assad, those clear signals would have been sent and received by enemies and allies alike.
Of less concern to Panetta are not only the potential negative consequences from using force but also the actual diplomatic agreement negotiated by the US to completely destroy all of Syria's chemical weapons. While he gives a perfunctory nod to this "important accomplishment" in his memoir, he complains that "hesitation and half-steps have consequences."
As for what those specific consequences are, other than vague platitudes about credibility and signals: your guess is as good as mine. For Panetta, the act of using force is seemingly more important than the actual tangible result achieved by using force.
Nowhere is this mindset of war as a presentational tool more evident than Panetta's discussion of the 2009 surge in Afghanistan. While Panetta says the focus on the Taliban, rather than al Qaeda, was misplaced and he complains that the military actively tried to box in Obama on troop levels … he says that there was no reason for the decision on the surge to have taken so long.
"For him to defy his military advisers on a matter so central to the success of his foreign policy and so early in his presidency would have represented an almost impossible risk," says Panetta. Translation: the surge was a bad idea, but the politics of national security demanded that Obama send American troops to fight a war that Panetta in his memoir calls "not a ringing success."
Ironically, in his public appearances Panetta has been forcefully stating that a commander-in-chief must keep all options on the table—an implicit criticism of Obama's refusal to put troops on the ground to fight ISIS. But in Afghanistan, the one option that Panetta appears to believe we should not have had on the table was defying the military and not surging, which is nothing if not an interesting twist on the principle of civilian control of the military. For Panetta, "all options" means only one thing—use of force.
Here, Panetta could not be more explicit. He says President Obama was a "strong leader on security issues" in his first term and cites as evidence Obama's support for CIA military operations and the fact that he was "tough on terrorism."
Now, however, Panetta believes that the president has "lost his way" because since then because he's shown greater "ambivalence" about using military force. If Obama is willing to "roll up his sleeves" on ISIS he can restore that strong legacy. For Panetta, might always equals right.
Panetta likes to present himself an "honest," "straight-talking," aw-shucks kind of guy—the son of Italian immigrants who has lived the American Dream. But in reality he is the quintessential example of how Washington corrupts. Principles are conditional and where you sit is where you stand; politics trumps policy, even bad policy that puts American lives at risk; military force is a magic elixir not only in solving international problems but in burnishing one's public image (though it appears for Panetta that this mainly applies to Democrats); it's also the most important criteria in how you judge a president's national security decision-making and his or her requisite strength.
During a recent interview on CNN, Panetta took a break from bashing the president who appointed him to two Cabinet offices to offer one of those platitudes that long-time DC denizens love to state without a moment of introspection. "Logic doesn't work in Washington," he said.
You can say that again.

"Et Tu, Leon?": Continuing The Tradition Of Those Who Feel Ungrateful Besmirching Of A Presidency Is A Mere Patriotic Duty
So let's say you're a former congressman, CIA director and Secretary of Defense. You (and probably a ghost or two) have been noodling with a memoir for a long time. You're finally out of office and want to make some dough and remind people you're still a big deal. You know that in the heat of a midterm election that's supposed to be a "referendum" on your former boss, and with much of the world focused on U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East, you can get a lot of attention and sell a lot of books by biting the hand that fed you and criticizing the president. Do you hold back for a while until said president is out of office, as Vice President Joe Biden suggested everyone should do? Or do you cash right in?
Well, we know Leon Panetta decided to cash right in. He didn't go far out of his way to advertise his book as a devastating expose of a weak and America-endangering president, but he's doing interviews that lend themselves to the impression that he thinks Obama erred grieveously by failing to leave combat troops in Iraq and fight for higher defense spending. And thus, as WaPo's Dana Milbank points out in a column that excoriates Panetta for "stunning disloyalty" to Obama, his book was seized upon immediately by Republicans–notably Bobby Jindal, who was doing a big Let's Give the Pentagon A Lot More Money speech the day before the book came out–as evidence of their national security case against the 44th president.
Now as Milbank admits, Panetta (like Robert Gates and Hillary Clinton before him) probably thinks of his service to the current administration as just the capstone of a career that was in full flower when Barack Obama was still in middle school. As it happens, Panetta is treated like a living deity out here on the Central Coast, which he used to represent in Congress. But his current work revolves around the Leon Panetta Institute for Public Policy, which mainly hosts lectures and seminars featuring big-name has-been Beltway Movers and Shakers who engage in Bipartisan Discussions of the Issues of the Day. I suppose a little extra street cred from Republicans owing to book tour interviews that sadly dismiss Barack Obama as out of his league doesn't hurt this post-political legacy-building.
I doubt I'll actually read Panetta's book, but those who do can perhaps check my impression that Leon went deeply native at the Pentagon and continued the deplorable tradition of Secretaries of Defense who just can't stop rattling the cup for more money for the ravening beast. If so, I suppose his current carping is in the bipartisan tradition of those who feel ungrateful besmirching of a presidency is a mere patriotic duty to ensure no occupant of that office forgets his extraconstitutional duty to the Empire.

"Go Out In A Blaze Of Glory": GOP Rep Urges US Generals 'Behind The Scenes' To Resign
Congressional Republican condemnations of President Obama's foreign policy are as common as the sunrise. Congressional Republicans urging active-duty U.S. generals to resign, during a war, to protest President Obama's foreign policy is something else entirely.
As U.S.-led airstrikes continue Friday near the Syrian border with Iraq, it's hard to imagine what would make the situation worse than the military suddenly losing all its generals.
But that is exactly what Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) told a group of voters he wants to see happen, the Colorado Independent reported.
"A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, 'Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let's have a resignation,'" Lamborn said Tuesday, adding that if generals resigned en masse in protest of President Barack Obama's Middle East policy, they would "go out in a blaze of glory."
Look, I don't expect much from Lamborn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. After eight years in Congress, arguably his most notable legislative accomplishment is championing a House-approved measure to cut off funding for NPR.
For that matter, maybe the far-right Coloradan was just flapping his gums a bit, telling tall tales in the hopes of making himself look like a big shot in front of a group of local voters, but never actually doing what he claims to have done.
But if Lamborn was serious, and a member of the House Armed Services Committee actually met "behind the scenes" with U.S. military generals, suggesting they should resign in order to undermine U.S. foreign policy during a war, that's … a little crazy.
It's not exactly clear from local reports what it is about Obama's foreign policy that Lamborn doesn't like, but under the circumstances, it doesn't much matter. If a member of Congress has concerns about a president's approach to international affairs, he or she has a variety of options, including introducing legislation limiting the scope of the administration's policy.
The options do not include – or more to the point, the options aren't supposed to include – meeting privately with generals, during a war, to urge them to "go out in a blaze of glory."
As it turns out, Lamborn is running for re-election against retired Air Force Gen. Irv Halter (D), who told the Colorado Independent, "Our elected officials should not be encouraging our military leaders to resign when they have a disagreement over policy. Congressman Lamborn's statement shows his immaturity and lack of understanding of the American armed forces. Someone who serves on the House Armed Services Committee should know better."
That's putting it mildly.
This is one of those rare instances in which it would be good news if a congressman was lying while boasting to voters.
Update: My colleague Kate Osborn talked to Corey Hutchins, Rocky Mountain correspondent for CJR's United States Project, who originally recorded Lamborn's remarks. Here's the transcript of the exchange:
VOTER: Please work with your other congressmen on both sides of the aisles and support the generals and the troops in this country despite the fact that there is no leadership from the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House. [applause] It was not necessarily a question but [unintelligible].
LAMBORN: You know what, I can't really add anything to that, but do let me reassure you on this. A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, 'Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let's have a resignation. You know, let's have a public resignation, and state your protest, and go out in a blaze of glory." And I haven't seen that very much, in fact I haven't seen that at all in years.

Time sure flies when you're having fun! Here's an update on how we're doing!
At the Car Wash
This past Sunday—August 24—marked one full month since we moved to Germany! The honeymoon phase hasn't worn off yet, but there have been moments—like the time when we borrowed a car for three weeks while the owners were out of town on vacation. At the end of the three weeks, we went to get it washed before returning it and encountered a few surprises.
"We're Here" Video and Pictures
Can you believe we have been living here in Germany for more than three weeks!
The past few days sure have been full and there's so much we'd like to say. So much, in fact we're not sure where to start!
Don't Drink the Water (in Public)
You Can Drink the Water—Just Don't Do It in Public!
The tap water (Leitungswasser, Trinkwasser) in Germany ranks among the healthiest in the world. However, most Americans who somehow learned the German phrase for "Tap water, please." ("Leitungswasser bitte.") rarely use the phrase a second time. The puzzled look of disgust on the server's face is usually enough to discourage all but the most emboldened diner from making any second attempt. It is a look that says: "Ordinary water is fine for bathing, but only a barbarian would drink it!"
Why don't Germans drink perfectly safe water?
We Are Here!
Less than a week ago (Thursday, 24 July, 2014) we arrived at the Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg airport dazed and jetlagged after more than 20 hours of travel. Every day since we've had to pinch ourselves to see if this is real.
Rapid Fire Updates!
One month ago (May 23rd) we announced that we had a date to move to Germany: July 23. At that time we announced that in order to move we'd have to raise $1,800 a month, or 72 bites of $25 each. Since then, the Lord has done some remarkable things! Now, with twelve days to go before we are scheduled to fly, we are fully funded for the first year of ministry!
Every Friday we've been documenting this whole process through weekly update video emails. Here they are so far! Please keep praying as the rest of the bites are taken!

UConn women to conduct clinic in Waterbury
|Connecticut's Stefanie Dolson (31) is fouled by Marquette's Sarina Simmons, left, during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, in Milwaukee. (AP Photo/Jeffrey Phelps)
Stefanie Dolson, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, and Brianna Stewart are among the UConn basketball players who will conduct a one-day clinic at Waterbury's North End Rec center, 268 North Main St., Aug. 16 from 9 a.m. to noon. The clinic features drills, games, and an autograph session. Cost is $40, and is open to girls and boys ages 8 to 16.
Margarent Heyward, a North End recreational leader and a member of the Friends of North End Rec, said that she heard that a group called All Pro Sports, LLC had held a clinic utilizing UConn players in greater Hartford and was looking to do something similar in the Waterbury area. She reached out to All Pro through a mutual friend to get the clinic here
"It's not being run by the city, but through Friends of North End Rec we were able to get the use of the gym," Heyward said. "It was just a great opportunity to bring the UConn players here to teach and inspire the inner city kids at a clinic. Anybody can come to it, not just North End Rec kids. I have a team of 16 players 13 and under and they are excited for it."

Do you have a lot of staff? Maybe EES would work out cheaper? - You can buy just the office licences on EES if you want, you dont need the full os and cal bundle.
My dilemma is whether or not to keep holding out against the pressure to buy M$ Office. Last year we quadrupled (from a very low base) the number computers available to pupils. A lot of economies were made to achieve this, one of which was to install Open Office instead of buying 60 new M$ Office licences. We're an infant school, so chose netbooks, which work well as the small size is helpful and requirement for processing power is limited. The saving in licences therefore bought an extra 12 computers.
The children have no problem using OOo, but it's very unpopular with staff. This is essentially the inconvenience factor: not only unfamiliarity, but the fact that templates they've prepared in M$ Office don't work due to formatting inconsistencies and the fact that every time a new user uses a client for the first time, it forces you to go through the registration process.
Staff have to have M$ Office licences as it's part of our contract with the LA to use their centrally hosted services (RDP to a Win 2008 server). OOo isn't available on Central Hosting, so school admin docs will always be produced in M$ and so we won't get away from formatting problems.
The above doesn't make a very convincing argument for OOo, but: Buying licences would use up half of the entire ICT budget for the year; We should teach children capability to adapt and not force them / their parents to add to the profits of an American conglomerate; Teachers have to use Office 2007 (upgrading their licences would take the remainder of the ICT budget), so we'd either still have an inconsistency or I'd be installing a version 2 generations out of date and be perpetuating the requirement to keep adding to M$ coffers.
I'm not supposed to control the ICT curriculum, but I do have a responsibility to ensure best value. Has anyone else won this battle, or should I just give in to the inevitable?
Do you have a lot of staff? Maybe EES would work out cheaper? - You can buy just the office licences on EES if you want, you dont need the full os and cal bundle.
Typical teachers really and not the sort of example they should be setting. Still it does not surprise me in the least and it really shows just how bad and lacking ICT development and skills 'teachers' actually have. As you have stated if the kids don't have a problem with it then the teachers and staff should not have a problem with it. I would explain that because of the cost involved it's a no brainer. I would also quote David toff Cameron - ' We Are All In This Together....'
Your issue with regards to the registration process can be easily fixed.
Secondly it depends on the head of the school, if they support using openoffice then keep using it, staff will adapt over time. If the Head wants change then accept that change is inevitable, cost up upgrading the licenses versus schools agreements etc and make the best choice.
EES might work out more cost effective for you, we went over to EES as we are anticipating a massive increase in the number of devices.
Perhaps staff don't see the costs involved - show them how much it would cost to "upgrade" to Office 2010 and ask them if they think its worth it, compared to what you want to spend the money on.
It sounds to me like you could do with EES licensing or something. We're a primary school and I always roll out Windows 7 using Office 2010 nowadays. I tried OOo a few years back before promptly switching back to MS Office.
Don't get me wrong, I love free and opensource stuff and am grateful for it, but OOo is very clunky and slow from what I've found (even compared to Office...) and realistically, Office is the gold standard in like 90% of jobs that involve computers nowadays, give the kids what they're going to end up using.
The pupils know OOo now, making them change will set them back.
Plus, you'll have compatability issues the other way. [Stuff made in OOo won't work with M$ office.]
This is purely personal experience, but I've never had issues with OOo reading M$ Office files. The formtting isn't broken either.
If you DO have to switch, make sure your OOo files are saved as the equivelent Office filetype instead of .oxx [xx because there's a few filetypes. ott, oth, odt]
You could argue when you budget for new machines, software licenses should also be taken into consideration from the beginning. Seeing as you're using Office 2007, I'd wait until early 2013 when Microsoft will launch Office 2013. You may as well skip a version saving you more money. I wouldn't recommend upgrading to every new release Microsoft creates.
Using different versions of MS Office or Open Office does create problems, but I appreciate budgets will only stretch so far. Being able to offer users 'log on anywhere and get the same applications' does reduce problems.
Ultimately it won't be your decision whether or not to make the spend. It will be your HT who will make their own mind up based on what they think is best for teaching and Learning (i.e. the staff and the pupils)... and who may have to go the Governing Body if the spend is high.
It shouldn't be coming out of the general IT budget if the spend will be such a high proportion of it. At my school, I make a stand at times like these and it is budgeted for separately. But that can't be done without a clear idea of the costs, both software and your time... fag packets won't do!
You need to do your homework now. How much would it cost for Office under the various schemes available?
With many devices and few staff, EES may well be the best way forward. (Just remember that anyone who works for 200 hours or more per year and uses the computers will count as full time - that's roughly 6 hours per week term time only)
Don't worry about the kids learning new software... working with infants, I'm sure you're aware they pick new things up VERY quickly... definitiely more quickly than the staff !
Thanks everyone. I am putting together a response to take to SMT next week and will have to include accurate figures, but for it to work, I will need to achieve something in terms of "heart and minds" as well. To add a bit more information:
Last time I looked, EES would have been about the same cost year 1, but would tie us in to a similar spend level every year.
@Achandler: The Head is currently on my side - but rest of the SMT is not.
M$ Office is the gold (well most widely used) standard, but 2013 looks pretty different to the Office 97 I started work with 13 years ago - which is the length of time it will be before our kids hit the workplace.
@Michael: We did include licence costs when we bought new computers - and made a positive decision not to buy M$ Office. I'm just being asked to revise that now.
I would buy 2013 licences, but that would only cover half of the clients in the school, as the teacher's laptops only have 2007 licences. Also from what M$ have released over the last few days, Office 2013 looks like mostly a subscription model anyway, so will always incur ongoing costs.
We have lots of part time staff, which drives up the cost of EES.
Any thoughts on exclusively using the free M$ Office web apps or google docs?
We upgraded all teaching staff to MS Office 2010 over the holiday. Not a big leap from MS Office 2007 but you should have heard the whingeing on the first day back......
I know people who have used Google Docs exclusively and get on just fine with it, the only problem is it doesn't have half the features Office has... saying that I doubt your young pupils would be using said features.
Would Office 365 Web apps not be sufficient for them? Might be a way forward.

I looked on line to buy another but the place I brought it from is not selling it anymore. I do not trust many nurseries that sell this plant because I have heard so many say that when their plant started to grow it was all green.

6. Go Green
Keeping an emergency jar of pesto in the refrigerator for last-minute panini and pasta salads prevents me from grabbing that stack of take-out menus. The only problem is that pesto whether it's made from basil or arugula leaves will oxidize and turn brown after only a few days in the refrigerator. To reinvigorate my favorite wannabe green puree, I spoon it back into the food processor along with several handfuls of fresh baby spinach. The finished pesto is greener and healthier than before.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- A 29-year-old mother of five has died two days after being shot in Kansas City, Kan., by her boyfriend, who took his own life.
The Kansas City Star reports Adoria Verser was taken off life support Wednesday.
Police said 27-year-old Shefrin Smith shot Verser multiple times around 7:30 a.m. Monday in the parking lot of a Kansas City, Kan., church. He then shot himself and died at the scene.
Smith was the father of Verser's four youngest children. The shooting was witnessed by several people, including two of Verser's children.
Friends said Verser worked in customer service at a bank and didn't seem to have problems in her domestic life.
