The Detroit Lions are still without two defensive starters in their second week of organized team activities.
Cornerback Chris Houston has missed most of the team's off-season workouts with a toe injury that required surgery earlier this month, and defensive tackle Nick Fairley remains out while he recovers from a non-football procedure.
Houston is not expected back this spring; Fairley should be available for minicamp next month. ...

Top Ten Things I Would Like To See in Baseball
MLB Sports Fans
1 Put the designated hitter in the National League or remove the DH in the American League. Let's create some uniformity. It is crazy when the world series is played. The home team uses the DH when the games are played in an American League Park. But there is no DH when the games are played in the National League Park.
2 Re: Ground Rules or Grounds Rules or Grounds Rule – Not Grounds Round or ground beef. I never know what they call the play. If, in the opinion of the umpire. I know I know, some of you do not like opinions, especially by umpires. But the umpire thinks that Derek Jeter should score on a well hit ball by Alex Rodriguez that a fan touches. Derek Jeter may have been running on the pitch. The umpire thinks that Derek should score even though the ball went into the stands or a fan touched the ball. Derek Jeter is then sent back to third base if the fan touched the ball. Let the man score already. Do not send him back to third base. See how confusing it is.
3 Food and drink at the ball park costing less than a mortgage payment. I suggest having a special night where people can eat at ½ the regular price for a hot dog. Half price night.
4 Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Derek Jeter, Tony Lazzeri, Graig Nettles and Bill Dickey play as a team. Today. So what if I am a little wacky.
5 The plastic bag liner that is used in the Metrodome is torn down and replaced with Saran Wrap. For no good reason, except to see how it would look.
6 All stadiums with retractable roofs. In case I am at a game and it starts to rain or the weather gets too cold. Hey close the roof.
7 Mel Allen is announcing games again. I loved it when he started up the broadcast with his famous "Hello There Everybody."
8 People that at one time loved baseball. Now because of a strike, or steroids, or corked bats or exorbitant salaries, or whatever issue they had with the game turned away from baseball. They rekindle their love for the game and have some baseball fun.
9 My daughter (she plays softball) bats over .600 this year.
10 Your team wins. Unless they are playing against my team.

Top Ten Things I Would Like To See in BaseballI echo StevenKeys when he says he cringes at the though of the DH in the NL. The DH was a experiment to see if haveing old sluggers hitting home runs would spark attendance. He turned in to a semi-retirement program for the defensively challenged with big contracts. The Players Assoc. isn't giving that up.
What I want is some playoff and World Series games in the daylight. Not during prime time and when alphabet city (FOX, ESPN, ABC, MLBN) the true owners of baseball make the most money. |

Top Ten Things I Would Like To See in BaseballBaseball used to be great, not only because of the game itself, but the relationship the team had with the community. New York and Boston are the last two teams with a real relationship with their home teams. The games are a part of the day in summer just like dinner, i would like the players the league the stadiums get to to know the pwoplw again. At Comerica park in july on a thursday afternoon the crowd is small have a set amount of low cost games ten bucks, bring school kids in build the relationship.
The second this that I would like to see that is during interleague play have the games played by the visiting teams league rules so if a National League team visits an America League team the pitcher bats. Let us see something different. |

The MLB should finally take a page from the NFL and figure out that the way to expand the fan base is to get more fans interested. You do that by making all teams relevant. The thinking that what's good for the Yankees and Red Sox is good for baseball is a philosophy that died along time ago. Time to make the game actually better!

Top Ten Things I Would Like To See in BaseballI would love to see a rule saying that a pitcher MUST pitch x amount of innings in a set amount of time or they must be released or put on the DL. The only exemptiion is if the starting pitchers average more than 7 innings per game in that given time period. I like to see pitchers play their aholes out. Toughen up a little MLB. Lets start seeing starting pitchers pitch into the game.

Top Ten Things I Would Like To See in BaseballWhile I cringe at talk of instituting the DH in the NL, over the years I've come to accept it in the AL. It's become part of its make-up, it's fabric, so-to-speak. I also like the separate Leagues having distinguishing characteristics. Besides, players are OK with it 'as is' and the NL suffers no power-outage when it matters most, the fall classic
Number 3 (pricing at parks) is a must. Eventually it's gonna' hurt the game. Only the privileged few will be able to attend and enjoy themselves. |

The recent PA comments reminded me of this post. In unhealthy relationships, what we are fighting about is never really what we're fighting about. That argument over which way the toilet paper hangs is probably more about a "meta" issue: power, balance, control and unresolved issues with others in our lives (usually our early caretakers). We argue about the house being kept a certain way. How did your parents or your partner's parents keep the house? What was going on there? How are you working that out in your relationship. What about money, sex, child-rearing? What about gift giving, going out, spending money on "non essentials"? What about criticism and power struggles? What were your fights about? Can you trace them to something in your past? His past? In order to break the " let's fight about everything and nothing " mode in future relationships, it's important to choose your battles. Learn to do this in non-romantic relationships: friendships, work, acquaintances: ask how important is this? is this what I'm really fighting about? and to figure out what this particular battle reminds you of (some un-won battle in childhood/adolescence?). Start to step back and see what you're fighting about and when and then decide: Is this really worth it? Do I really care about this? Sometimes when we step back the other person "ups the ante." After all, they have a stake in the ridiculous fight as well and haven't made a commitment to changing anything. You may well be drawn back into it because the other person has figured out how to "hook" you back in. It's easier to see and sense this dynamic in work relationships and friendships when you can step back and see it for what it is…the emotional involvement is not as intense and your reaction can be more measured. Learn to step back and see what is going on. It takes practice but watch for the hooks and remain committed to not fighting about stupid things. Journal about your feelings when you're not fighting…what is coming up for you? Probably a lot of discomfort. Let that be okay. Write about it and you may discover what all this "nothing" is really all about. |

oil fine, lid terrible
I can't fault the actual but the lid to the bottle is terrible. I find it really tricky to open and feel I often narrowly miss being showered with oil as the lid comes off...

Good all purpose olive oil
I thought this was good for cooking and general use when you don't really need the flavour of extra virgin.

Great everyday olive oil.
No need for extra virgin most of the time so this is a great value olive oil for everyday cooking.

Change the lid!
As others say good for cooking although it does have virgin olive oil in it too which I found a bit misleading. But my main criticism is that the lid is really hard to get off once it gets a bit greasy from continued use. You need sharp nails and strong fingers. Will probably try to find an alternative based on this.

Excellent value
As others say, great for cooking, it's a waste pouring your expensive extra virgin oil in to a frying pan. I use it in our bread machine instead of butter when making bread too. Very good.
This delicious dhal can be served as either a thick curried stew dish with rice or as starter with naan bread. Or transform it into a soup by adding an extra half pint of coconut milk.

Chickpea Tagine with Harissa
Strictly speaking, a tagine should be cooked in a traditional North African earthenware pot of the same name. One of the beauties of this recipe is that you don't actually need one to make it. Another is that it is extremely Moorish, if you'll pardon the pun. Harissa is a spicy paste made from chilli, garlic and various other seasonings.

Carrot and Hummus Crunch on Sourdough
This easy sandwich recipe has a tasty kick to it thanks to the addition of red chilli and caraway seeds.

Pasta and Fava Bean Soup
This Italian mixture of pasta and fava beans makes a nourishing meal, served with warm Italian bread. If you don't have time to soak the beans, use tinned ones instead - they are just as good, but remember to halve the cooking time.

Tuff Seal
Tuff Seal Interlocking Tile for Garages, Aviation, Commercial, Institutional, Industrial and Retail Applications
Tuff Seal (Previously called TrueLock Premier) interlocking tiles are not the least expensive tiles for garages and aviation, commercial, industrial and retail applications, but they present a clear set of benefits that separate them from other products on the market. Tuff Seal is tough enough for the most demanding industrial applications while quiet and attractive enough for use in residential garages. This is the most durable, environmentally friendly, and attractive PVC tile on the market. It is ideal for locations where you require a hidden, waterproof locking system that is impervious to fluids, chemicals, dirt and debris. If you are looking for a less expensive PVC garage tile, we have PVC garage floor tiles starting at under $3.50 / sq. ft.
Unlike polypropylene tiles, this PVC tile is not hollow. At about four pounds apiece, this is a heavyweight product that creates an ultra-quiet system. The locks are completely hidden. The lower part of the tile has a T-Lock system while the upper portion has a zipper lock – just like the bags you use in the kitchen. The T Locks keep the tile locked even under extreme pressure horizontally while the zipper lock stops fluids and debris from penetrating.
Tuff Seal interlocking tiles require no adhesive*, leave no mess and demand little if any floor preparation. They are available in 12 stunning colors and three attractive patterns.
We have added a photo gallery of Tuff Seal PVC tiles in airplane hangars, industrial warehouses, commercial applications, bathrooms, retail applications and garage applications below the pricing table.
While Tuff Seal is a top-of-the-line PVC garage tile, we understand that not every application requires this product. We offer a wide selection of garage floor tiles, other garage flooring products, and our less expensive True Lock PVC Garage Tile. We Highly recommend Hilway Direct Plus Floor Finish & Cleaner with EVERY Tuff Seal purchase.
Tuff Seal PVC TileTuff Seal is the top of the line interlocking PVC tile. With its hidden locking system you get the advantages of PVC without the puzzle look. You also get a watertight locking system which has been proven time and time again. Please note that many Tuff Seal orders are made to order and can have longer lead times. While colors like gray or black often ship right away, colors like Meadow Green can be 3-6 Weeks |

P-MOS FET Application for Silicon Condenser Microphones
An Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM) is widely as general the microphone devices. Yearly, the miniaturized and the lowering the voltage of the cellular phone for the power consumption decrease are accelerated. Though, the current ECM has progressed in small size and thin shape, the FET has been not designed as low voltage operation in spite of small packages. This paper pays attention to the P-MOS FET of the low current consumption for miniaturization and the improvement in performance by using CMOS process. The authors designed and tested prototype microphone units, and performed comparisons on a basic performance with the conventional ECM.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Trailer Officially Released
A month of discussing the first 31 issues of Dreadstar by Jim Starlin begins here. Or, more properly, below the cut.
Dreadstar #1 by Jim Starlin begins with ten pages of Oedi recapping what came before this series. Thankfully, I already laid all of that out for you last night. For the first issue of a creator-owned book that's also listed as "vol. 1," that's a lot of information to just drop on the reader and not the most engaging way to kick things off. There's no pretense of working the recap into the story. It's just Oedi sitting around, telling us how he got to this point in his life. When Greg Burgas discussed Starlin's run on the title, he was frustrated with how Starlin recaps everything in every issue, adhering strongly to the idea that every issue should be accessible to new readers. I don't mind the approach as you can see what Starlin wants to emphasize and how he interprets scenes visually at this point. This recap also has him rewriting what came before in some small ways. The biggest change here is that Oedi is the sole survivor of the Instrumentality's attack on his people. He even shows up in a rewritten version of the aftermath of the attack as shown in the Dreadstar graphic novel. The tone of Vanth's reaction is different: in the graphic novel, he was much angrier and colder, here he shows moments of self-pity and simpler rage. I prefer the graphic novel version, but this one communicates the necessities.
From there, we see this band of rebels dedicated to stopping the war: Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Oedi, and Willow. Willow is a blind cyber-telepath (a telepath that can also influence machines) who has a pet monk (monkey-like creature) named Rainbow as her eyes. The second issue gets into her backstory, so I'll wait until then to talk about her too much. For this issue, the group decides to rob a church, funding their mission with the Instrumentality's own money. It's a lot of action as they, first, break into the space station's vault and, then, escape by having to get past an Instrumentality Destroyer-class ship. It's an odd contrast between the first ten pages and the final 22.
I find that contrast oddly effective, though. Starlin hits you with a lot of information, telling you all about Vanth Dreadstar and how he came to be in this situation of fighting against the Instrumentality while secretly controlling the Monarchy, and, then, shows you and his group in action. Starlin's art drives the book as he packs the pages with panels and interesting shots. He uses juxtaposition well, often using two or three panels to show a change in the scenery or the movements of characters. One of my favourites is two panels: the first showing a close-up of Willow's eyes and, the next, showing Rainbow with the silhouettes of her eyes (with eyebrows and eyelashes) overlaid in all white to show how she sees through him and is linked telepathically to him. Or, there's a four-panel sequence where three panels show the door to the vault slowly rising with the fourth showing Vanth, Syzygy, and Willow shocked before cutting to a large panel showing piles of gold and silver bars.
The action scenes show off a staple of Starlin's work: the large group of bad guys attacking the small band of good guys. Again and again, Starlin returns to the strong visual of the hero seemingly overwhelmed by a mass of enemies only to cut through them like butter. It's very chaotic and high-energy, Dreadstar and Willow always on the move, giving the latter half of the book a sense of urgency. Dreadstar disabling the Destroyer by going into space and firing an energy blast from his sword at its hull is pretty cool, too.
The issue ends with two pages of the Lord High Papal as he comunes with his gods to obtain the power needed to fight against Dreadstar and Syzygy. The little coda is necessary to establish him as the villain of the series. His strong, imposing figure makes him reminiscent of Thanos to a degree, but he's a different sort of character. More in love with power for the sake of it than Thanos. Thanos, at least, had a cause: his love of Death. The Papal just wants to be the most powerful for the purpose of being the most powerful.
There's a lot to take in initially for new readers, but Starlin balances that out with a lot of action. He also sets the pace of the series, showing that each issue will show a concrete 'chunk' of story. Here, Dreadstar and Company rob a church. A simple plot that Starlin sticks with. That's the way the series operates. Every issue is part of the larger whole, but also tells its own piece of the story completely with few exceptions.
Tomorrow: we learn all about Willow.
I loved Dreadstar. I have all the issues well into its run at First Comics with Angel Medina on the art. It was still good at that point. But, the thing that drives me nuts about about the comic (especially on re-reading) is that Starlin (at Editorial's request?) spent the first 3 or 4 pages of every book (in the Epic years at least) recapping what had happened in the plot up to that point. I guess it was deemed to be necessary with the 45-60 days between issues, but it doesn't make the book flow all that well. At some point I think they finally switched to a text recap on the inside front cover. Much preferable.
Starlin's use of recaps is one of the things I'll be focusing on — how he constructs them as the series progresses and when/if they work. Because, like I said, they bothered Greg but not me. Why? Hopefully, we'll see.

Charter schools must measure up
The Texas Education Agency is expanding the number of charter schools as the Legislature instructed — and working to close schools that don't meet academic or financial criteria.
Last year's Senate Bill 2 raised the limit on charters from 215 this year to 305 by mid-2020. Supporters said more than 178,000 Texas students were attending charter schools, but another 101,000 remained on waiting lists.
Part of what persuaded some legislators to get on board was the provision for mandatory charter revocations at schools that failed to achieve academic or financial standards for three years running.
The relatively small number of schools that consistently fail to meet accountability criteria damage the charter movement.
In December, TEA told six schools that their charters would be revoked under the provisions of SB2. They are American Youthworks (Austin), Azleway Charter School (Tyler), Honors Academy (Farmers Branch), Jamie's House Charter School (Houston), Koinonia Community Learning Academy (Houston) and Richard Milburn Academy's suburban Houston campus.
Each of those schools received a formal review, but TEA has upheld its decisions to revoke.
If an administrative law judge upholds the revocations, they will take effect June 30, TEA said in a news release Monday.
This is an extensive process. Charter holders are being given every chance to show they should be allowed to continue operating.
In the end, charters that can't meet state criteria must fall by the wayside.

Amendments to the CIL Social Housing Relief
By Saskia Molekamp
The draft Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2014 are due to come into force in early 2014. You may have seen our plan-it-law blog in December, which highlighted some of the amendments.
One significant amendment is the extension of the social-housing relief. This relief currently applies to social rent housing, intermediate rent and shared ownership but will be amended to include the affordable rent tenure (where properties are let for a maximum of 80 per cent of market rent) as well as communal areas used by affordable dwellings (such as stairs, corridors and car parks). Where communal areas are also used by 'non-social-housing' elements of a development, the relief will apply on a proportional basis. The proposed amendments also introduce a discretionary relief for discount market housing (housing sold for no more than 80 per cent of market value). The discretionary relief can only be claimed if the local charging authority has issued a document in accordance with the regulations, expressly making the relief available.
These additional reliefs and a number of the other new amendments aim to increase viability of schemes and encourage development. In particular, charging authorities will now be required to strike (rather than 'aim to strike') an appropriate balance between funding infrastructure and the viability of development. Achieving this balance may require greater involvement of developers in CIL examinations: Planning magazine has recently reported on worryingly low numbers of developers engaging in the process of setting CIL rates, citing developers' concerns as to the difficulty of commissioning original viability research in order to challenge draft charging schedules…

Loading... The Language of Bloodby Jane Jeong Trenka
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Using a variety of styles and narratives, Korean adoptee Trenka tells of the experience of a violent stalker in Minnesota, racism, going to Korea to find her mother who soon died with cancer, an older sister, and ultimately, love. A search for what is Korean and her Korean American identity. The prose is as luminous and carefully beautiful as the reviews say,. I came away with a sense of the writer's youth, and how her search has perhaps only now really begun. This is a book written by an adult Korean adoptee. It is worth the read. The author tells her story and how she adjusted to life in general. Its is an encouraging as it is discouraging. I think we can learn much from the adopted children of Korea. This book gives great examples of how NOT to treat your adopted children. I highly recommend adoptive parents read it. no reviews | add a review

We're a young couple, open minded, not quite married, waiting to explore the world and meet new people. We love nature, expecially mountains, and enjoy our current village where you can see the alps on clear days.
...looking forward to meeting you!
Nadja & Marco has completed online and offline ID verification.
Nadja and Marco is the sweetest couple! I loved having them as guests. They were very friendly, easy to talk and cooperate with and left the apartment perfectly nice and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Nadja and Marco as guests!
Meeting Nadja and Marco has been the highlight of our New Year. It was wonderful having them stay with us for several days. We shared a trip to the summit of Mauna Kea, dinner and many great morning conversations. If you get to host these two special human beings, you are very fortunate!
Nadia & Marco stayed in our guest studio for 2 nights during their visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. Our family was away from the property however they were so kind to reply when I text them to make sure they found everything in order upon their arrival. They were even so kind as to check in the next day and let me know how their day had gone. I did get to meet them the morning of their departure and they were just as charming in person as they were via text. The room was left perfect and we'd be happy to have them back again anytime.
Awesome couple!!! Very clean and respectful guests! Definitely welcome back!!!!

Shaz: Awww that's sweet. Cheating really does fuck your head up doesn't it, Hawk? Oh, and by the way- how's life as Blackout Champion? You've got a loooooooong way to go till you're in the big leagues with moi.
Printable View
I did not get a chance to reply to your earlier post about the praise you were getting and i do not want to golooking for it, so i will reply here. Mike hawk is honestly at the top of my favorite characters with only a few others being above him. What i find so great about him, is your ease in portraying him differently in each efed. Hopefully one day we can have that RIley Omega vs mike hawk feud
Hawk: When you own the skies like I do, your always on top. I never got a rematch if you remember correctly. Smith cost me as the guest ref and you ran to the hill to avoid me. So why don't you put your money where your mouth is and face me again and I will make you suffer the same way you did in that ladder match.
Ace, I remember that match well, but until I have a singles victory over you I am not satisfied with that. So challenge me if you want, but remember that this is the blackout title, so one shot and when you lose, your career fades into the black.
Juno, you have potential and Israel just holds you back. Why else aren't you a champion now, I can unlock that potential in exchange for your managerial services and your career will soar like the Hawk.
OOC: Dark Mike Hawk is my favorite Hawk, by far.
Shaz: Rematch? A rematch is something that you shouldn't get, because like always- you'll lose your opportunity. I never ran from you actually, it's not my fault Smith decided to stick his nose where it didn't belong. You could've easily came back for me, but you never did- so what does that mean? Oh yes, it means that YOU ran away from ME.
Money where my mouth is? Okay, I'll do that.
Shaz puts money in his mouth, he begins to chew- before taking it out of his mouth and tearing it in half.
Shaz: You'll suffer the exact same fate as those notes did, 'cause I'll tear you apart.
Ano Doom: I told Jackson Smith the worst was on the way, and I was right. He hasn't seen me in days and Revolution still has time before the beginning, but I still manage to ruin his mind and he allows it to be done. He's in such a frantic state that he is even attempting to remove young little Alex away from the whole property. Maybe she would stop costing you, if you stopped being so distracted. The games won't work if you don't play into them. I'm being 155 percent honest here, I won't lie to you about this: If you do not let them bother you, the things I do to you will not have any effect on you. I destroy your clear and happy calm mindset because you allow me to do so. We are far from done, you know this as well, next time you lose to me...It won't be so painless.
I love Hawk amazing character and I'm glad that it was on the finals of Grand Prix 2(which he won btw) who had one of his best promos.
He also revealed his real name!!!
Shaz: And what is it with everyone trying to train Juno Mercury? Juno, if your thick brain wasn't aware- the only reason why they are offering you there services, is because they think you're shit. But to be fair, I don't blame them, because you are indeed shit.

About Fundación Paraguaya
Fundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Faith should guide in all aspects of life, including politics
The morning of the walk dawned crisp and spectacular, and our team collected in a church parking lot near the start.
More than 20 members of our congregation gathered with about 3,500 others for AIDSWalk 2011, the annual event that raises funds for the AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City. Through our own donations and the pledges of others -- mostly gathered by our AIDS Ministry from other church members -- our team turned in nearly $4,000 to the cause.

Dates: March 27-28, 2015
Wei He and Jensen Lam, co-artistic directors
Made possible by a generous grant from The Cha Foundation of Hong Kong, Inaugural Sponsor.
The origins of the San Francisco-Shanghai International Chamber Music Festival date back to 1981, when the San Francisco Conservatory of Music admitted its first five students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music as part of a diplomatic rapproachement between the two countries. Today, more students enter SFCM from the Shanghai Conservatory than from any other single institution. Recognizing their special affinity, the two conservatories decided to strengthen ties by producing an annual music festival as part of a formal "sister school" relationship. First held in 2011, the San Francisco-Shanghai International Chamber Music Festival has become a model of artistic collaboration, innovation and excellence. Each year's festival, hosted alternately in San Francisco and Shanghai, features joint performances of chamber masterworks as well as commissions written by students and faculty composers from each school premiered by ensembles from their sister institution. Working side-by-side in master classes, coachings and performances, festival participants have forged even deeper artistic, professional and personal relationships. As the U.S. and China continue to pursue a fruitful partnership based on mutual understanding, the San Francisco and Shanghai conservatories stand as a shining example of what talented individuals from both countries can achieve by working together.

Let's see, the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Ya know those Faux Snooze people.
The company is controlled by Rupert Murdoch and his family members.But more like chanc1 attacking the 80% here. Constantly with every post.unlike progressive crazies who attack republicans personally
Contemptible partisanship, I like that. That explains much of what is going on in DC.
BEWARE! Harassing the Indian may result in sudden and severe hair loss.
It is the same tone deaf ignorance that has cost the republican party the vast majority of their support. It is why the party as a whole stands at 26% approval.
It is also why intelligent conservatives like Joe Scarborough and Colin Powell no longer stand with the party of failure.
I guess our JUBbernauts are juggernauts of republican failure because you guys are unshakably partisan.
I watched this morning and most mornings. He states OVER and OVER and OVER that he would find it hard to be a part of the republican party. The difference between the two of you in your criticism is he is usually on point with a topic and doesn't merely attribute losing an argument to the obamallegiance. He actually grasp the heart of an issue and points out regularly how inadequate republican views on the subject are in the public while in private they admit easily the things we are all saying. Yet, just like your posting, the party is held hostage by wackos and tin foil hat conspiracy theories like Benghazi. I guess the republicans can learn of their ignorance because there is not a Algeria-gate (yet) but give them time and republicans will tie Obama to some Kenyan based Muslim hate of america that is at the heart of Obama and therefore had those hostages killed.
no he doesn't
he says that the current direction of the party is messed up - and most reasonable people agree
he believes in the principles and many of the current participants - in conservatism
so again your narrative is either wrong or willfully misleading
as for the diff between joe and me - that's irrelevant
as for your commentary about my posting i could give a shit as you've proven yourself to be a liar
and your rareboy like hatred refrain is pretty sad shit
First of all -- Obama's popularity rating is at 50% -- the lowest ranking of any second term President in the January after the Presidential election in recent history. Please don't try to rewrite history.
The article that Chance quoted gives direct quotes from President Obama in the days before his second Inauguration -- she points out that past Presidents have used this time to focus to well being, good feeling, and fellowship. Obama has done otherwise he used the time to be very aggressive to those people who don't agree with him.
I've read several articles about Obama plans to destroy the republican party, dividing it in half by the 2014 election. Why not lead instead.
Another huge lie mentioned often on CEP -- Sen. McConnell's quote about wanting Obama to be a one-term President was made on October 23, 2010 right before the off-year election and 2 years after Obama was elected President.
If you're a fair person -- compare the remarks made by Obama quoted in the Noonan article with the interview McConnell gave the National Journal in October, 2010.
McConnell also said in the article --Obama was still misquoting McConnell in 2012.I don't want the president to fail; I want him to change
I think Peggy paints a very good image of the President in her article and his distain for people he doesn't like."When I first came into office, the head of the Senate Republicans said, 'my number one priority is making sure president Obama's a one-term president.' Now, after the election, either he will have succeeded in that goal or he will have failed at that goal."
— President Obama, interview on CBS' "60 Minutes," recorded on Sept. 12, 2012, and aired on Sept. 23
50% of a sitting President > 100% of someone who couldn't win an election.
Peggy Noonan? You mean the yapping head who whored her (LOOK AWAY CHANCE) CUNT out to the Bush admin? WMD Noonan? Noonan of the many ridiculous opinions (I'd say prevarications but that would make someone's head explode) Peggy of the war on reality, peggy of the don't-look-at-my-record-of-ridiculous-mistaken-positions-taken-because-I-was-riding Cheney's cock at the time Noonan?
Why the fuck do we care what she has to say about anything?
The plan to defeat Obama started around the time of his first inauguration:On inauguration night four years ago, pollster Frank Luntz organized a strategy session for leading Republicans at the Caucus Room, a steakhouse in downtown D.C. The widely reported dinner has become the creation myth of the Obama opposition, in which Luntz, former speaker Newt Gingrich, Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Paul Ryan (Wis.) and other leading Republican lawmakers from both chambers plotted how to confront the president. The Republicans giddily came away from the four-hour dinner with a plan to weaken Obama through blanket opposition. Also on their to-do list: wresting control of the House and Senate from Democrats and defeating Obama in 2012.
I've included 2 links that basically say the same thing, but the quote I posted is from the Washington Post article. The Republicans have been complete jerks towards him since day one, and I hope he treats them like the dirt they are for the rest of his term. What comes around goes around. They sure can dish it out but cry like babies when it's their turn to suck it up.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!!!
I think the point is that Obama is a bad, bad, bad man and President.
But I return to what I said before.
50% of a sitting President > 100% of someone who couldn't get elected.
The sentiment was there when he was elected. Go ahead and find where Republican Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina made his Waterloo comment. Get back to me when you find it, keeping in mind President Obama didn't start office until January 20, 2009.
Can you link to any of these articles? Are they merely opinion pieces or do they have actual quotes from the President? I think instead, the Republican Party is dividing itself in two and the President is just sitting back and watching it happen.
The other points have been well addressed by others.
And EVEN if he does, he is still your president and will be so for the next 4 years. Bummer...

I like vulgar words - pull your panties out of your asscrack, you're chafing. I believe the OP is ALL Peggy Noonan. You might be less confused about that if you would, you know:
Why do I care what you think about me? LOL Poor Jack, so unappreciated.
I'll be nicer to her the moment she resurrects all the people who died in the war she shilled for.
I'd say a backhoe was needed to dig your panties out of your ass crack.
No reason to respond with name calling and using vulgar words. It's not the focus of the thread and makes you look small.
I hope you enjoyed your time away - perhaps a second voice will convince the lovelorn to open their minds and at least read the piece before the standard responses - you know we found this week evidence of responses w/o reading - imagine
you presented peggy's case very well - she simply outlines his words and actions in recent times - it's pretty basic stuff
he's being a hard ass and painting the repubs as enemies to the american people - not the time or the tone that's befitting of the office or the man
thanks jack
I see the right wingers are busy patting each other on the back.
are you jealous Bob ? how was your day ? did u yell on your porch at any walmart shoppers today?
as for jack - he's good peeps - as u know deep down
and i thought his overview of the argument was swell
i'm guessing u didn't care for it
peggy is concerned that at this critical time, a president more interested in uniting vs. dividing would serve the country better
i'm sure u agree
Yes, because you are such shining examples of open minds, and it was just that only one of you was posting, but now that there's - gasp - TWO of you, minds will change with momentous results!
Are you done giving each other the Dutch Rudder btw? It's a little embarrassing to watch.

Jack Springer and Chance1: a veritable lovefest.
Evidently Chance has swallowed ....something.
Peggy is interested in resurrecting herself from irrelevance.
FOUR MORE YEARS of President Obama and you can sleep well tonight knowing unhealthy loudmouth Chris Christie will never be President. The Koch brothers will spend a couple hundred million trying to install him in office but they'll be throwing their money down the drain like they did when they tried to buy the Presidency / VP for Loser Romney and his lap dog Lyin' brown noser Ryan.
my swallowing not withstanding
peggy is doing pretty damn well - check it - columnist for wsj - syndicated columnist - guest on cable news sun programs
please at least do a little homework before throwing rocks at her under false pretense
think jack nicholson - tom cruise - flight logs
back to topic:
obama is a meanie
Why not talk about the article instead of all the nasty hate stuff.
Why continually bring up stuff that people don't believe -- no one here thinks that Obama is a Muslim. I'm sorry you can't accept that his father came from a foreign country. I think Obama embraces his Kenyan heritage -- I embrace my heritage.
Focus on the subject of the thread -- or keep your big mouth shut.
You are most welcome to put me on hide -- but that would only further prove that you only listen to things you agree with.
Dilemma, huh
Jack really.. you shouldn't be pointing fingers at people with claims like "you only listen to people you agree with."
No one here can even remember a time you adopted any stance, position, outrage or anything else that Fox or a right wing blog didn't tell you to.
At least Chance gets creative with inventing outrage over nothings that not even Fox News thought up.
Dilemma? I like to laugh at your silliness.
...refrain from Jack...
"you only listen to things you agree with (pout)." Juvenile attempt to avoid the fact that Peggy is a right wing shill.
...refrain from Jack...
OF COURSE I listen to Peggy, just like I listen to you! Then I have a good laugh and dismiss. Why would I start agreeing with things I don't agree with? It would be utterly stupid to suggest I do otherwise.
...refrain from Jack...
ARE you that stupid? Inquiring minds want to know!
...refrain from Jack...
There - we've had that conversation, let's move on to what Chance may or may not be swallowing.
This thread is a prime example of why I don't post here regularly anymore. Just reading through it makes my skin itch.
(and cue Chance with something nasty to say in three, two....)

Perhaps it is a good time to ponder FDR's words about the business class and the Republicans right before his second term. It seems to me President Obama is taking his cues from FDR. Not a bad president to emulate.

SEWAGE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT DHEEMAN BHUYAN, DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DISHA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY ORIGIN OF SEWAGE Each time you flush the toilet or you wash something down the sink's drain, you create sewage. "Why not simply dump this wastewater onto the ground outside the house, or into a nearby stream?" WHY IS TREATMENT NECESSARY? There are three main things about wastewater that make it something you don't want to release into the environment: 1.It is putrescent. 2.It contains harmful bacteria. 3.It contains suspended solids and chemicals that affect the environment. SEWAGE TRANSPORT Sewage is transported by sewers to either water treatment plants or directly into water bodies. Sewer systems may be classified as 1. Effluent sewer 2. Sanitary sewer 3. Storm drain 4. Combined sewer TREATMENT PROCESS Treatment of sewage can be either private or public. 1.Private treatment Where it is too expensive to install large scale treatment plants, sewage treatment may be done using septic tanks. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF A SEPTIC TANK 2. Treatment in water treatment plants In urban and suburban areas where people are packed closer together and where there is a lot more wastewater to treat, the community will construct a sewer system that collects wastewater and takes it to a wastewater treatment facility. Process Flow Diagram for a typical large-scale treatment plant Pre-treatment • Pre treatment involves the removal of waste matter that can easily be removed. Primary Screw pumps screen Primary treatment • This involves primary sedimentation in the primary clarifiers. • The tanks are large enough for the sludge to settle and floating material such as grease and oils to rise to the surface so that they may be skimmed off. Purpose of primary treatment • The main purpose of the primary sedimentation stage is to produce both a generally homogeneous liquid capable of being treated biologically and a sludge that can be separately treated or processed. • Primary treatment removes half of the solids, organic materials and bacteria from the water. Secondary treatment • Secondary treatment is designed to substantially degrade the biological content of the sewage derived from human waste, food waste, soaps and detergents. Secondary clarifier • The majority of municipal plants treat the settled sewage liquor using aerobic biological processes. • Secondary treatment, removes organic materials and nutrients. Aeration Tank This is done with the help of bacteria Tertiary Treatment The third stage, known as tertiary treatment, varies depending on the community and the composition of the wastewater. Typically, the third stage will use chemicals to remove phosphorous and nitrogen from the water, but may also include filter beds and other types of treatment. Chlorine added to the water kills any Final Clarifier remaining bacteria, and the water is discharged. Disinfection The purpose of disinfection in the treatment of wastewater is to substantially reduce the number of microorganisms in the water to be discharged back into the environment. The effectiveness of disinfection depends on the quality of the water being treated (e.g., cloudiness, pH, etc.), the type of disinfection being used, the disinfectant dosage (concentration and time), and other environmental variables. Odour Removal • Early stages of processing tend to produce gasses like hydrogen sulfide. Large process plants in urban areas will often contain a foul air removal tower, composed of air circulators, a contact media with bio-slimes, and circulating fluids to biologically capture and metabolize the obnoxious gasses previously contained by reactor enclosures. Treatment of Sludge SEWAGE AND WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT IN CHHATTISGARH • The iron and steel industry • Industrial as well as at Bhilai, cement industries domestic wastewaters are at Durg and Raipur, textile being discharged into the industry of Rajnandagaon, River Hasdeo directly as aluminium and thermal well as through river Ahiran power plants at Korba are and Dengur Nala. The major the major polluting industries source of pollution in the in the Mahanadi river basin. river is due to Thermal Power Plants, Bharat Aluminium Company, Captive power plant of BALCO, IBP (explosive unit) and coal mining operations Water Quality Status of River Mahanadi • pH range: 6.11-8.65 • Conductivity: 646 μmohs/cm in Sheorinarayan • DO: 4.5-10 mg/l • BOD: 0.2-16.0 mg/l • Nitrite (NO2-) concentration :0.01-0.30 mg/l • Nitrate (NO3-):0.04-14.6 mg/l WHAT CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO? The government can make it compulsory by legislation for waste water to be treated before discharge. It can also make sure that the legislation is put to effect. latest technological developments can be incorporated by the government in treatment plants. WHAT CAN WE DO??? There is a lot that we can do in order to save our water resources. It is not just the government's responsibility to treat waste water, it is our duty to reduce the amount of waste water generated. It is also our duty to see to it that sewage is not directly released into our rivers. Rivers are the life line of the people. Lets not cut them. This will be the condition of our water bodies if we do not act now. Questions

Hi, I have been a member for a while and posted a few times but never introduced myself properly so here goes: My name is Rich (Richard) I live in the UK. I am nearly 59 years old and retired. I am a mechanical engineer and worked as an operator in a Nuclear Power station. I love science and history but my passion in life is photography. I have pictures of me at approximately 4 years old with a camera in my hand; I can never remember a time without one. All through the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's I had mostly Canon and a Bronica SQA. I had a darkroom and small studio and took occasional weddings for work mates. With the digital age I have had a few compacts and then a Nikon D70 which I can honestly say changed my life.... how I wish I had had Nikon before. I now have a D300 and variety of lenses.
I took a course in Photoshop which lasted 6 years and teach it part time now.
Sorry this is so long... Rich.
PS I really enjoy this site and forum, it is way ahead of any others and the people here are great especially the humour.

Hello from La-La Land!
Don't know why I never joined this forum before. Been a Nikon guy ever since my very first FM. Then, just last year, I rushed out and bought a D90 to make movies (I'm a cameraman). But, since it sucks at that, I started taking pictures again. Now, I've turned into a total gear whore, and am planning to shoot a whole new portfolio, filled with images of awesomely hot chicks. Next lens on my list: AF DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2.0D.
Here's my lifetime camera anthology:
Kodak Instamatic
Canon FTb
Nikon FM/FE
Mamiya RB67
Nikon FM2/FE2
Nikon 6006/6006 (twin bodies)
A bunch of shitty first- and second-generation digitals (Sony Mavica through Minolta Dimage 7hi)
Nikon D70: my first D-SLR.
Nikon D90: my second, and current D-SLR.Although I already own a pile of Nikkor MF and AF lenses, I'm actually rebuilding my lens inventory and have redesigned my "carry-around" lens bag to include only the following lenses, all of which, I acquired over just the last couple of weeks:
1. AF Nikkor 18mm f/2.8D (used)
2. AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G (new)
3. AF DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2.0D (pending)
4. AF VR Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED (refurb)Posted 4 years ago # -
Hello all,
My name is Vince from the U.S. My location changes from time to time, but I guess you can say I'm from GA. New to DSLRs' and I picked up my first camera a few weeks ago (Nikon D5000). So far I love it, and can't wait to get a little experience under my belt.

Hi all,
Richard here. Avid Nikon user and have been in many a fight with my mates who ALL use Canons. I'm completely surrounded by them!
Anyways, got me an F80 back in 2000 after a Coolpix sometime before that. Now using a D80 with plans for a D700 (S? X? or something...) in September... or whenever my new wife allows that kinda spend!
Just launched a new photography business in Perth at
or you can see a broader range of my shots here at Red Bubble:
Damn it's good to be among fellow Nikon users... for a change :)

Welcome, Richard, Vince, and studio460. Is it me or do we have a higher percentage of Australians on the forum than could be expected for a country of 22m? It's a good thing—don't get me wrong—but is it because Nikon is popular there or what?
Posted 4 years ago # -
My name is Nina and I'm a Los Angeles based photographer and freelance designer. I am an avid Nikon shooter and cheerleader in a sea of Canon shooters (99% of my friends & colleagues). My first Nikon and dSLR was the D60 and I still shoot with it frequently. I've since upgraded to the D3s.
My website is http://loveandlemonade.com. I also have a site where I post only my Blackberry camera pics: http://worldinmypocket.tumblr.com
I'm happy to be here and I've been reading the blog for some time now...I don't know why it took me so long to join the forum...
Anyway, hello and I look forward to getting to know everybody. :)

But seriously, your question is an interesting one. I'm not sure how popular Nikon cameras are here compared to . . . to . . . those other ones (I can't think of any of their names at the moment). Maybe someone has some sort of stats on that sort of stuff.
I'd better go before the off-topic alarm goes off.

Might as well introduce myself, belatedly. Have shot on and off since I was a little kid, and am currently shooting with a Kodak PoS -- sorry, P&S -- while I wait for/save for the D90 replacement. I have a website -- blog, no photos -- at http://www.aslightdelay.com, which I haven't updated much because when I'm not job hunting, I'm taking pictures. :)

I'm Geoff from SoCal, and have been involved with DSLRs since the beginning of the year. Bought a D40 to get started in this field, and enjoy it. Several lenses and memory cards later and I'm getting ready to upgrade to another Nikon, keeping the D40 for my daughter who wants to join me in this insanity.

Good luck, Geoff. My dad got me started and we've had lots of fun with it. He's not quite as crazy about gear as I am, though. ;-)

Hello all,
I've been on this forum for a bit, but never saw this tread before. My name is Robert, and I have always had an interest in photography since a little kid. It wasn't untill a few years ago that I got to talking to one of the hired pro photographers at the Denver Grand Prix and decided to take his recommendation and get a entry level D70S. I now have increased my arsenal and shoot with a F5 and D700.
Great forum, and some great people reside here. I have learned alot from some of you, and been inspired by all.Posted 4 years ago # -

Hey guys. My name is Rich and I'm from NJ (hold your applause) I've been reading all of your posts and replies daily for the last 4 months and will finally be getting my first DSLR which will be a D7000 body.
I'm a bass player who has always been into photography since I was a little kid as my grandfather was a wedding photographer for decades. I also found out that had he not gotten ripped off when selling all of his gear before he died, I would have most likely inherited it all. It was all high end gear from some little company called Hasselblad ;-) Oh well. All digital for me.
I plan to make photography a big part of my life along with my music. Thank you again for all the daily help. I have passed the NR word on.

I used this site a lot when shopping for my first DSLR back in July because of the community and timely information.
I had a Nikon Coolpix 5700 until it died. After going without a camera for a while I wanted to step up to something new and learn as much as I could about photography. I bought a D300s and started a learning/photo blog at http://www.bugnoir.com, and I'm slowly building up a proper portfolio.
I mostly shoot around Toronto, Canada; mostly macro, landscape and pet portraiture, avoiding people portraiture until I know more. I took a three week photo-centric trip to the maritimes this summer between contracts and had a blast.
I usually contribute to the photo-a-day thread but my new contract is at a start-up and I've been finding it difficult to find time to shoot. I'm building a mini-studio for the winter months and hope to get out shooting again in the spring/summer.
Looking forward to learning more from the community here, you people are awesome.

Clyde Coastguard received the 999 call from her at 3.35pm and sent the rescue helicopter from HMS Gannet, coastguard teams from the Ross of Mull and Craignure, and the Oban RNLI lifeboat to assist. Due to the remote location of the incident, the helicopter was going to take 55 minutes to reach the family, and the lifeboat one hour.
At 4.13 pm, a kayaker contacted Clyde Coastguard to report that he had just assisted in the recovery of the three people back to the shore, and that the family were now continuing along the coastal path and did not require any further assistance. However, with the coastguard rescue team and helicopter just minutes away Clyde Coastguard did not stand down the rescue resources, fearing that the four would continue on their original journey and eventually get cut off by the tide.
Upon reaching the group, R177 lowered the winchman down onto the beach, where the family informed him that they intended to walk on to Carsaig Arches – a mile and a half from their location. The winchman strongly advised the four that they ought to head back to Carsaig to avoid being cut off by the tide for a second time and the coastguard rescue team met up with them and accompanied them back to their vehicle.
Clyde Coastguard would advise that anyone intending to walk along coastal routes ensure they are suitably dressed with appropriate footwear, have adequate means of raising an alarm in an emergency and also check tide times before heading out.

Such a coincidence, I was just talking about ultra-running yesterday! Ultra runners seem like gods to me--how do they do it?!
I have recently gotten into running again after a long time and my goal is a 10k in October, but I'm hoping to keep progressing to be able to do a half and then full marathon in the coming year. Thanks for this post--very inspiring--and thanks Luke for sharing! - Anonymous8/15/14, 10:45 PM
Great article! The advice on neutral shoes may not be ideal for everyone. When I first started running, I bought the first pair of running shoes that I saw (neutral) since I didn't know any better.
After several months of injuries, I went to my doctor and then a physical therapist to find out why. Based on the way I naturally run, I was told to wear a shoe that offers more support. Following that advice, I rarely have had injuries since!
If you're just getting into running, make sure to do a little research on shoes and get advice from someone who knows their stuff like a doctor, coach, or PT.
