Bible study groups abound in Brunswick County. They give witness to an innate human need and desire to know more about the word of God.
Each major religion has its scriptures, written descriptions of God's way. No matter how we name God, whether our approach is literal or not, it is apparent human beings are interested in discovering more about divinity, more about the Creator in whose image and likeness we are created.

These are typical visits for Buster, father of 43-year-old Chuck, but it's far from a typical Father's Day scene.
After a long day out on the water, weekend or weekday, Buster, a charter boat captain, doesn't go home to rest. He cleans up, packs a dinner and pays a visit to Chuck in his room at Autumn Care, his home since 1990.

Francisco Silva: A Real Clown for President
If we're gonna have a clown, we deserve a real one.
April 21, 2011 - 12:00 am
Perhaps ironically, President Obama paved the way for Grumpy's presidency by tearing down all former constitutional barriers to enlightened governance. Under his leadership, the former Constitution has also been preempted by numerous United Nations resolutions, federal agency regulations, court decisions, and media articles and has finally been replaced with a politically correct, screaming, sneering, and crying "Living Constitution."
Accordingly, trivial and no longer relevant concerns simply don't matter in our new multicultural age of politically correct globalism. That is necessary and proper (and therefore acceptable even under the old, worn out Constitution), because we now have new and truly important concerns. Just think, for example, about our deteriorating relations with Brazil and other South and even Central American countries (Brazil's economy outweighs that of all other South American countries). A slow motion Chinese economic earthquake has struck Brazil and major aftershocks continue. China is already Brazil's biggest investor and trade partner. China's exports to Brazil increased from $1.2 billion in 2000 to $25.5 billion in 2010 while Brazilian exports to China climbed more than thirty-fold from $1 billion to $30.7 billion — giving Brazil an estimated $5.2 billion annual trade surplus with China. The election of President Grumpy could not make our relations with either country any worse.
There are also signs that formerly staunch United States ally Colombia — already snuggling in bed with China due to China's massive investments there and getting great trade concessions in the bargain — may be going down the spiral drain as an ally; Colombia is also begging Venezuela for subsidized gasoline, and on April 10 Colombian President Santos and Venezuelan President Chávez signed "16 agreements of cooperation and integration and agreed to seek ways to help Honduras to return to the Organization of American States (OAS)." Ecuador expelled the United States ambassador on April 5 and the United States expelled the Ecuadorian ambassador two days later. With few exceptions, the United States is persona non grata throughout the region.
Problems comparable to these were often avoided in Europe years ago by interbreeding members of the royal families of many different and often hostile nations. Rather than simply meddle immaculately and therefore ineffectively in the internal affairs of such places as Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Londonstan, Paristan, and others, we must now do the functional equivalent of what the old monarchies did by inviting wise foreign statist leaders statespersons to commingle with our own in our domestic political affairs – to play equal and suitably acknowledged roles in the internal political intercourse of the United States. Gaddafi, Karzai, Ahmadinejad, Chávez, Castro and many other great world statespersons or their designees should be welcomed as honored members of the United States Congress or even as far more important and prestigious administration czars.
To ensure reciprocity, we must encourage our leaders to play comparable roles in the affairs of foreign countries. This will elevate world opinion about the United States no less than did President Obama's worldwide apology tours. Beyond advancing these goals, electing Grumpy will also go far toward making many segments of our growing population of undocumented voters and their lightly documented cousins happy that we have finally agreed to assimilate. Grumpy's Hispanic surname, Silva, will help.
Appreciate clowns or hate them, Grumpy is probably the only viable presidential candidate. Bishop Homer Tomlinson (October 25, 1892 – December 5, 1968) is no longer available to assume the presidency. Although neither self-depreciating nor intentionally funny, he would nevertheless have been qualified. He was the bishop of the Homer Tomlinson Branch of the Church of God and a perennial candidate of the Theocratic Party for the presidency of the United States:
His campaign promises included: substituting tithing for taxes, creating cabinet posts for "Secretary of Righteousness" and "Secretary of the Holy Bible," unifying church and state, and establishing Bible reading and prayer in all schools.
Tomlinson never won an election, though he did receive 24 votes in 1964. But that didn't matter, because in 1965 he declared himself "King of the World." He ruled the world from a hotel room in Jerusalem, wearing a gold-painted crown and sitting on a folding chair.

ABC still intends to finish Defying Gravity's run ... eventually
I don't know what those episodes have in store, or if they provide better closure than what we have now, but ABC felt it was important enough to curb the rumors by putting out a statement that they fully intend to air those last Defying Gravity episodes. They just aren't sure when.
DG was too sci-fi for the audience they were hoping for with the "Grey's Anatomy in space" tag. There wasn't enough sci-fi for the hardcore science fiction base. At least those of us who toughed it out might get some closure.
Defying Gravity, we hardly knew ye
It seems like not even two months ago, I was interviewing Ron Livingston about his exciting new ABC drama, Defying Gravity (probably because it was about 6 weeks ago), and now it's gone. After airing only 8 episodes, ABC has just announced that last night's episode of Gravity would be its last.
Although ABC hasn't given any official word about its cancellation, it wasn't as though it came as much of a surprise, given the show's troubles from the very beginning. According to Ace Showbiz, "It premiered to only 3.83 million viewers on August 2 and the number has constantly deteriorated since then. Last week, ABC has excluded listing Gravity on the schedule after the September 13 episode but did not give explanation to that."
The fact that everyone from the show's producers to its actors kept on describing Defying Gravity as "Grey's Anatomy in space," probably didn't help matters much either. I've seen most of the episodes, and while it could have done with a lot less Grey's-like twinkly music to signify emotions, it was a perfectly passable summer show. Luckily, for all of you fans out there, SlashControl has all of the episodes available to view online.
What do you think? Are you sad to see it go, or are you amazed it lasted this long?
Ron Livingston says that "Grey's Anatomy in Space" pretty much sums up Defying Gravity
Ron Livingston, who is probably best-known for his role as the lovable slacker, Peter Gibbons, in the cult classic, Office Space, is no stranger to television. He played the rakish captain Lewis Nixon on HBO's seminal miniseries, Band of Brothers, and will go down in Pop Culture history as Berger, the douche who broke up with Carrie via Post-It note on Sex and the City.
This summer, Livingston is starring in the new ABC drama, Defying Gravity, with a special two-hour premiere on Sunday, August 2, at 9:00. Described, to the dismay of many, as "Grey's Anatomy in Space," Gravity follows a group of astronauts on a planetary mission 40 years from now. While everybody's sleeping with their coworkers, they aren't quite as angst-ridden about it as their Grey's counterparts. These astronauts cut through all the BS and get down to the business of doing it in zero gravity, as any rational person would.
Recently, I was able to chat with Ron Livingston about Defying Gravity. We talk about some of the more mysterious elements of the show, how he prepared for the role, and why they're wearing t-shirts in the future, instead of Mylar jumpsuits.
(There aren't any major spoilers, but we do discuss the pilot, so keep that in mind).
How big will the next Sex and the City movie be?
Debra wasn't thrilled with more Sex features, but I have faith in Michael Patrick King. However, there is another issue; while all the ladies are inked for the Sex and the City sequel, Chris Noth is not, which may -- or may not -- be a "big" deal.
Uh oh: Standoff won't return until the summer
Fans of Standoff, the FOX hostage negotiator drama starring Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt, were worried when it was announced that the show was moving to Fridays. Now here's more to be concerned about: the show isn't returning at all until the summer.
It was supposed to return in April, but FOX has decided the show won't be back until after the network announces its fall schedule in May. I wonder how this will affect their decision, since the show has been on hiatus for a while and they're not going to know what the summer numbers are until, well, the show airs in the summer. They insist the show isn't canceled, but this can't be seen as a "good" sign, that's for sure. It got pretty good numbers when it was on.
For the record, I thought the show was so-so.
Relative Strangers makes network debut on Comedy Central
I loves myself some Ron Livingston. It's mostly due to his laid back lead role in Office Space, but I'm always impressed by that "everyman" thing he does so well. Alas, I've never seen Relative Strangers, the 2006 comedy starring Livingston, but I and everyone else will have a chance to catch it on Comedy Central on March 17 at 10:00 p.m.
Livingston plays a psychiatrist named Richard Clayton who sets out to find his birth parents, only to find out they're trailer trash with the surname "Manure" (played by Danny DeVito and Kathy Bates). I'm liking this movie already based on the talent alone, and as The Waterboy demonstrated, Bates knows how to play a hick.
UPDATE: An early draft of this post mistakenly identified the movie as a new Comedy Central series. That was my mistake, a result of misreading the press release. Thanks to those who pointed that out. I promise to report with greater care in the future.
The Five: Why I'm not reviewing Standoff anymore
You might have noticed that I didn't review last night's episode of Standoff. It's not because of election coverage. I'm just super bored with the show. Here's why.
1. It's like Mad Libs. Seriously, all you have to do is fill in the blanks with each episode's set up, confrontaion, and resolution. The two hostage negotiators are called in, Matt gets on the phone, Emily figures out what's going on in the hostage-taker's life that would make him do this, Frank wants to shoot them instead of talk to them, Matt and Emily banter about their relationship, their boss stands around and looks concerned, and then Matt or Emily talks the person out of doing anything else. Noun-adjective-adverb. Yawn.
Standoff: Life Support
Weird news of the day: TV Guide Channel to air Standoff marathon
Yup, you're reading that right. The TV Guide Channel, which is mostly made up of interviews and behind the scenes visits to TV show sets and gossip, is going to have a marathon of the FOX drama Standoff this Sunday, from 3pm to 7pm. In case you're wondering, TV Guide is in the same company as FOX.
This is probably a good move, because the show has been interrupted for the past month or so because of baseball playoff and World Series coverage on FOX. So maybe this will get fans and potential fans into the show. Though I wonder if people will even find it on the TV Guide Channel.
[via TV Tattle]
A fast Q&A with Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt of Standoff
Standoff: Shanghai'd
(S01E03) There were two great things about this third episode of Standoff. One was a joke at the start of the show, when Matt says to Emily that he "feels like Lindsay Lohan," and Emily replies "oh come on, you're not that drunk." Matt was actually talking about everyone looking at him.
The second great thing about the episode was the commercial for a new Victoria's Secret bra. Something called the "Infinity Edge" bra. Awesome commercial. The rest of this episode? Meh.
Standoff: Pilot (series premiere)
(S01E01) I'm one of those people that truly believes that any TV show or movie premise could be great. Because it's not the premise of a show that's most important. Really, what does the premise of a show have to do with anything? A "great" premise could have horrible writing, acting, direction, while a show that seems to have a "typical" or "boring" premise can be great if it has good writing, acting, and direction. Seinfeld was a show about "nothing" but it was the writing and the cast that made that show great. Heck, what was the movie My Dinner With Andre but two guys eating dinner and talking for two hours?
So it's not the premise of Standoff (hostage negotiators are also lovers!) that is disappointing, it's that there's nothing really special about it. Not yet anyway. But it's a show that has promise, and here's why.
Press Kits Unwrapped: FOX's Standoff
Coming to FOX this fall: Ron Livingston, Victor Garber
FOX is also picking up American Crime, starring Alias veteran Victor Garber as part of an ensemble cast. The show is about high-profile defense attorneys. Good. Someone needs to counter all the adoration for prosecuting attorneys happening over at NBC on four different Law & Order franchises.

I interviewed President Obama in the White House yesterday. Here's a partial transcript where Obama talks about George Bush, Mitt Romney and Iran:
Fareed Zakaria: So when we talked when you were campaigning for the presidency, I asked you what Administration's foreign policy you admired, and you had said that you looked at Bush Sr.'s diplomacy, and I took that to mean the pragmatism, the sense of limits, good diplomacy, as you looked upon it favorably. Now that you are President, how has your thinking evolved? Do you still look at that as a hallmark of good diplomacy?
Barack Obama: It is true that I've been complimentary of George H. W. Bush's foreign policy and I continue to believe that he managed a very difficult period very effectively. Now that I've been in office for three years, I think that I'm always cautious about comparing what we've done to what others have done, just because each period is unique. Each set of challenges is unique. But what I can say is that I made a commitment to change the trajectory of American foreign policy in a way that would end the war in Iraq, refocus on defeating our primary enemy, al-Qaeda, strengthen our alliances and our leadership in multilateral fora and restore American leadership in the world. And I think we have accomplished those principal goals.
Our alliances with NATO, Japan, South Korea, our close military cooperation with countries like Israel have never been stronger. Our participation in multilateral organizations has been extremely effective. In the United Nations, not only do we have a voice, but we have been able to shape an agenda. And in the fastest growing regions of the world in emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region, just to take one prominent example, countries are once again looking to the United States for leadership.
That's not the exact same moment as existed post-World War II. It's an American leadership that recognizes the rise of countries like China and India and Brazil. It's a U.S. leadership that recognizes our limits in terms of resources, capacity. And yet what I think we've been able to establish is a clear belief among other nations that the United States continues to be the one indispensable nation in tackling major international problems.
(MORE: Read TIME's Cover Story on Obama, Now Available to Subscribers)
And I think that there is a strong belief that we continue to be a superpower, unique perhaps in the annals of history, that is not only self-interested, but is also thinking about how to create a set of international rules and norms that everyone can follow and that everyone can benefit from. So you combine all those changes, the United States is in a much stronger position now to assert leadership over the next century than it was only three years ago.
We still have huge challenges ahead. And one thing I've learned over the last three years is that as much as you'd like to guide events, stuff happens and you have to respond. And those responses, no matter how effective your diplomacy or your foreign policy, are sometimes going to produce less than optimal results. But our overall trajectory, our overall strategy, I think has been very successful.
Mitt Romney says that you are "timid, indecisive, and nuanced."
Ah, yes.
I particularly like the third one. What do you say?
I think Mr. Romney and the rest of the Republican field are going to be playing to their base until the primary season is over. Once it is, we'll have a serious debate about foreign policy. I will feel very confident about being able to put my record before the American people and saying that America is safer, stronger and better positioned to win the future than it was when I came into office.
And there are going to be some issues where people may have some legitimate differences and there are going to be some serious debates just because they're hard issues. But overall, I think it's going to be pretty hard to argue that we have not executed a strategy over the last three years that has put America in a stronger position than it was when we, than when I came into office.
He says that if you get re-elected, Iran will get a nuclear weapon, and if he is elected, it won't. Will you make a categorical statement like that: If you get re-elected, Iran will not get a nuclear weapon?
I have made myself clear since I began running for the presidency that we will take every step available to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. What I've also said is that our efforts are going to be… Excuse me. When I came into office, what we had was a situation in which the world was divided, Iran was unified, it was on the move in the region. And because of effective diplomacy, unprecedented pressure with respect to sanctions, our ability to get countries like Russia and China that had previously balked at any serious pressure on Iran to work with us, Iran now faces a unified world community, Iran is isolated, its standing in the region is diminished. It is feeling enormous economic pressure.

And we are in a position where, even as we apply that pressure, we're also saying to them there is an avenue to resolve this, which is a diplomatic path where they forego nuclear weapons, abide by international rules and can have peaceful nuclear power as other countries do, subject to the restrictions of the NPT, the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
But the way the Iranians might see it is that they have made proposals–the Brazilian-Turkish proposal–and that they never go anywhere. They aren't the basis of negotiations.
Yes, I think if you take a look at the track record, the Iranians have simply not engaged in serious negotiations on these issues.
We actually put forward a very serious proposal that would have allowed them to display good faith. They need medical isotopes; there was a way to take out some of their low-enriched uranium, their LEUs, so that they could not — so that there was clarity that they were not stockpiling that to try to upgrade to weapons-grade uranium. In exchange, the international community would provide the medical isotopes that they needed for their research facility. And they delayed and they delayed and they hemmed and they hawed, and then when finally the Brazilian-Indian proposal was put forward, it was at a point where they were now declaring that they were about to move forward on 20-percent enriched uranium, which would defeat the whole purpose of showing good faith that they weren't stockpiling uranium that could be transformed into weapons-grade.
(PHOTOS: Political Pictures of the Week)
So, not to get too bogged down in the details, the point is, is that the Iranians have a very clear path where they say, we're not going to produce weapons, we won't stockpile material that can be used for weapons. The international community then says, we will work with you to develop your peaceful nuclear energy capacity, subject to the kinds of inspections that other countries have agreed to in the past. This is not difficult to do. What makes it difficult is Iran's insistence that it is not subject to the same rules that everybody else is subject to.
Suppose with all this pressure that you have been able to put on Iran and the economic pressure, suppose the consequence is that the price of oil keeps rising but Iran does not make any significant concession, won't it be fair to say that the policy will have failed?
It is fair to say that this isn't an easy problem and anybody who claims otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. Obviously, Iran sits in a volatile region during a volatile period of time, and their own internal conflicts makes it that much more difficult I think for them to make big strategic decisions. Having said that, our goal consistently has been to combine pressure with an opportunity for them to make good decisions, and to mobilize the international community to maximize that pressure.
Can we guarantee that Iran takes the smarter path? No. Which is why I have repeatedly said we don't take any options off the table in preventing them from getting a nuclear weapon. But what I can confidently say, based on discussions that I've had across this government and with governments around the world, is that of all the various difficult options available to us we've taken the one that is most likely to accomplish our goal and one that is most consistent with America's security interest.
Read more the rest of my interview with President Obama here.
Since he's a known Obama suck-up, was Fareed wearing his knee pads during the interview?
Just because you wear some while listening to Rush Limbaugh doesn't mean everyone has a pair.
The Obama attack bots are doing their usual bang up job of belittling Fareed and parroting the current popular sound bites they've been given to attack our president. Good luck getting any of these trolls to intelligently discuss any issue.
Zakaria the only reason why anybody would read or listen or put a value on your comments, is because they are
also ignorant and not qualified to know anything better. What are your qualifications for all these comments you
distribute throughout the media. From where do you get your expertise??? If you are a reporter then simply report
Mitt Romney says that you are "timid, indecisive, and nuanced."
^ Flip Flop Willard's right. Obama needs to learn from Mitt how to be on *all sides* of any given issue at any time. :)
What about defeating Al-Qaeda? It doesn't make sense. The CIA created Al-Qaeda. They are a group trained by Americans - foreigners sent back to their own countries after training, to cause disruption and bring about the CIA/Obama/Rothschild nwo agenda. What happened? Did they go rogue? C'mon, Al-Qaeda works for Obama/Rothschild elite. And there are sooo many of them now, causing havoc all over the world. Defeat them? But they're doing your will! It doesn't make sense. If they're running amok, I'm sure Obama could just hit the kill switch. Naw, he doesn't want to defeat them. They are doing his bidding, and are willing to lay down their lives and take the blame, just like Osama. Fareed, please. You're amazing. You can suss-out the truth. Tell me. Who are Al-Qaeda exactly.
If Obama & Democrats in Congress & Senate Vote on reversing Universal Healthcare , over turn Roe V/s Wade, throw every illegal Immigrant, Continues the War in Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Privatize Health Care, Education, Shut down EPA, Dept of Energy, goes along with No Taxes for Billionaires because they are Job Creators, if the unemployment was 2% and go along with EVERY Agenda proposed by GOP, Republicans will still find a reason for hating Barack Obama and 51% Democrats who are fellow Americans..... You Know Why ? .. Because the Republicans love hating and they are good at it.
The president did say why he doesn't support simpson-bowl because CEO's, republican presidential candidates and most of GOP would not let capital gain tax gain tax go up to 39%. They want to do simpson-bowl without closing that loophole. Specially many CEO's would not allow it because they use this as a technique to avoid pay tax over 15%. Many people who are slow to comprehend things still don't understand why he doesn't support simpson-bowl.
Hey there, You've done a fantastic job. I will definitely digg it and for my part recommend to my friends. I'm confident they'll be benefited from this web site.

Secret toilet camera filmed teenage girls at drinking parties
Posted: October 21, 2011|
A tree surgeon set up a secret camera to capture 275 recordings of girls using his bathroom after inviting them into his home for underage drinking parties.
Anthony Shotton, 38, was found with recordings of the girls when police were called to his home to break up noisy teenage parties which got out of hand.
Officers also found a 16-year-old girl in his bed on one visit and a 15-year-old hiding in a cupboard on a second, Exeter Crown Court heard yesterday.
Shotton, of Underhill Road, Torquay, denied 18 counts of voyeurism but was found guilty. He had already admitted possessing an indecent image of a child.
Judge Graham Cottle ordered him to take part in a sex offenders' programme as part of a three-year community order and pay £500 costs.
The judge said he was concerned about sending Shotton on the course because he was still in denial and warned him he would be jailed if he did not cooperate.
He said:"You quite deliberately rigged up in your lavatory a camera so you could view images of teenaged girls using it. There is no other explanation for it.
"It doesn't quite stop at that. The evidence reveals you have an unhealthy interest in teenaged girls and at times there were well over a dozen in your flat.
"They were lured there by you as you were prepared to buy them alcohol and allow them to drink although there are no complaints of sexual offences being committed by you or allegations of improper behaviour. If there was, the situation would be very different." He said Shotton's explanation that he was trying to identify boys who vandalised his toilet, was 'laughable'.
David Gittins, prosecuting, said Shotton came to the attention of the police because of the large number of young people going to his flat.
He was eventually served with an order prohibiting him from having those under 16 on the premises but police called on two further occasions and found girls aged 15 and 16, fully clothed, one hiding in his bed and another in a cupboard.
He said officers also recovered the DVDs taken with a spy camera fitted in his bathroom which included 279 recordings of which all but four showed girls.
Paul Dentith, defending, said Shotton had started off by inviting two young people to his flat but they had then drawn in their friends and the situation mushroomed to the point where he himself had to call the police to get rid of them. He said Shotton was a fragile character who had been seen by the youngsters as a 'pushover' .

Loyal readers may recall that I've been working on my MBA (master of business administration) degree through the University of Phoenix Online. Other MBA students from more traditional graduate schools are often surprised when I describe the amount of work required for the degree. I have a little less than a year left if I continue without a break, but will the hard work be worth it?
There are still some people who believe that a degree from an online program isn't as valuable as a degree from a traditional brick-and-mortar school. The very few people who have expressed that opinion to me have had one thing in common — they have no experience with interviewing or hiring people and base that belief on their own biases. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but when the time comes, the only thing that matters is the attitude of the person who is making the hiring decision.
A Wall Street Journal subsidiary, the CollegeJournal, published an article about the top employers for MBA students. A survey was conducted to determine the students' ideal employers. Here are the survey results (top 100). I notice that my company isn't listed but a couple of our majors competitors are.
The article in CollegeJournal also notes that more MBA graduates are expected to be hired this year than last year and men expect to earn $89,933 (plus a signing bonus of $18,028) while women expect $81,962 (with $15,415 bonus) at their first post-MBA job. The expected salaries about double after five years.
Here are more articles and data on MBA salaries:
* MBA Salaries on the Rise, January 2005, and related survey
* CareerJournal B-school surveys, 2004
* MBA Applicants are MIA, BusinesWeek, April 2005

Robert Barnes reports for The Washington Post on the oral arguments for King v. Burwell and observes that the Court seemed to split along ideological lines in questioning during the case.
Linda Greenhouse argues in The New York Times that the very nature of the Supreme Court will change if it chooses to overturn the Affordable Care Act.
At NPR, Mara Liasson explains why both Republicans and Democrats should be concerned about the outcome of King v. Burwell.
Mark Joseph Stern writes at Slate on the recent Justice Department report that finds Ferguson police have a history of bias towards African Americans and disregard for constitutional rights.
At Democracy Now, Juan González and Amy Goodman discuss how Ferguson illustrates the importance of undoing the criminal justice system of "racial control" with Michelle Alexander, author The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.

All Eyes on NY-26
Republicans are bracing themselves to lose a House seat carried by John McCain.
Republicans are bracing themselves to lose a House seat carried by John McCain in 2008 in upstate New York.
Two weekend polls show Democrat Kathy Hochul leading Republican Jane Corwin by between four and six points in tomorrow's special election in the state's 26th District, which includes the Buffalo suburbs. If the GOP does lose the seat, expect Democrats to crow it was because they were able to tie Ms. Corwin to the Paul Ryan budget plan passed by the Republican House. Democratic committees have run ads for weeks claiming the plan "essentially ends Medicare." One liberal group even put out an ad portraying Mr. Ryan throwing a struggling grandmother off of a cliff. A Siena Research poll shows that a full 21% of likely voters in the race name Medicare as their most important issue. Of those, a full three-fourths back Ms. Hochul.
Republicans will legitimately claim that their prospects in the district were damaged when Jack Davis, a former Democratic congressional candidate for the seat, decided to form his own tea party ballot line and spent more than $2 million touting his plan to restore jobs to the area. He is currently drawing support from about 12% of voters, two-thirds of whom would normally back the Republican, Jane Corwin. But such explanations will only go so far in explaining any GOP defeat.
"Kathy Hochul's possible upset victory Tuesday is partially a reflection of an unusual three way race," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "But it's also indicative of the new Republican majority becoming very unpopular very fast. Barack Obama is more popular in this district than John Boehner."
Indeed, the PPP poll shows that Democrats are more enthusiastic than Republicans about turning out on Tuesday. One reason is that only half of the Republicans surveyed think that their party's doing a good job of running the House. Overall, 34% of voters think the new GOP majority is doing a better job than the Democrats did, and 38% think they're doing a worse job.
Politics is more volatile than ever in a fast-moving media environment, and Republicans have been slow to realize that either their message or their work product is not resonating with large chunks of independent voters who will determine if they maintain control of the House next year.

Comments about 3rd Power Amps Switchback Series SB212 Guitar Speaker Cabinet with Celestion Alnico Gold and Vintage 30 Speakers:
The 3rd Power SB212 is the best sounding and most versatile cabinet i have ever used. In my work, i need to be able to achieve a wide range of guitar tones in a wide range of musical styles, and this cabinet can adapt for whatever you throw at it. Options like open back, closed back, one open one closed, two differently voiced speakers, and horizontal or vertical orientation allow you to configure the cabinet for any situation and sound. The internal cab design creates a big, even response that blows my 4x12s out of the water. This cab is well thought out, well built, and definitely an ear-pleaser.

I originally signed up for this last year but broke my wrist a couple weeks beforehand, so the promoter transferred my registration to this year. I'm doing the Breck Epic this year though, which finishes two weeks prior to the SM100, so I just won't have the time or energy for another big race so soon. So I'm selling my spot for this year's SM100 for $170 including the transfer fee, which is $20 less than the current registration fee.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers not courting Kyle Lohse
Phoenix -- One big fish remains out there in the free-agent pitching market but Brewers general manager Doug Melvin just told me that he doesn't have a line in the water on Kyle Lohse .
"I haven't had any conversations with (agent Scott) Boras," said Melvin. "We aren't talking to him."
I asked Melvin if Boras has been actively trying to peddle Lohse to the Brewers, who often have been mentioned as a "fit" because they are committing to so many inexperienced starting pitchers this spring.
"I think he has had some conversations with (team owner) Mark (Attanasio)," said Melvin. "There's nothing going on."
Attanasio said at the Brewers' "On Deck" fan festival a few weeks back that he would forfeit a first-round draft pickl to sign Lohse if the money were right but obviously that is the biggest issue. Boras is trying to get a multi-year deal for Lohse and likely wants an average salary above the $13.3 million qualifying offer for one year he turned down to leave St. Louis.
Even though there are still unsigned players, Melvin said he isn't doing any more shopping for players.
"We're not looking at anybody else," said Melvin.

Nanotechnology Law Report
Guide to Responsible Nano-Business
ObservatoryNANO recently published a "Guide to Responsible Nano-Business", a brief report written for an audience of "Medium sized companies involved in the development, processing, production, or trade of nanotechnology-enabled materials, components, or applications".
ObservatoryNANO was created and funded by the then extant European Community (EC), the predecessor of today'sEuropean Union (EU), "to create a European Observatory on Nanotechnologies to present reliable, complete and responsible science-based and economic expert analysis, across different technology sectors, establish dialogue with decision makers and others regarding the benefits and opportunities, balanced against barriers and risks, and allow them to take action to ensure that scientific and technological developments are realized as socio-economic benefits."
The Guide sets out and briefly discusses four "tools to identify and manage nanotechnology-related priorities":
Tool 1: Set priorities, focusing on the process of framing responsibility measures
Tool 2: Check and complement established internal guidelines and code of conduct
Tool 3: Focus actions, described in the guide as the "strategies and programmes [needed] to be put in place to assure that a guideline is of any practicle use".
Tool 4: Inform transparently, focusing on what to communicate (content), how to communicate to employees of the company, customers and/or the general public, and the choice of communication media, ranging from company websites to product labels.
The Guide has links to "Good Practice Examples", such as BASF's Code of Conduct and to sites where more information can be found.
While the Guide to Responsible Nano-Business is not on the same level as "Guide for the Perplexed" by Moses Maimonides, it is a good short and clearly written work that the owners and managers of nano-businesses would find useful in formulating policies for the workplace and for communicating with the general public.

Amore Pacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
Take my $60 bucks Amore Pacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ because I will own you soon!
Cushion BB Creams are the latest hot trend to launch in Asia so it's nice seeing something similiar offered in the US. Although not a BB Cream the new Amore Pacific Color Control Cushion Compact appears to have a similiar theory in mind with this new formula.
Take a look!
Amore Pacific's new Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum is available in four shades and features a multitasking formula which promises to provide full coverage, sun protection, and hydration.
A superior antioxidant enriched formula provides instant hydration while the base fills in micro lines and ensures color builds into fine, even layers with green tea that brightens skin and prevents irritation.
It sounds heavenly!
Pretty sure I need to check this one out.
It's available now at Sephora.com
Anyone try?
Do share!
3/11/13 13:35 Cj:
Oh great a CCCC cream… You know what I'm done. I am no longer buying anything that's called a bb cream or cc cream or dd cream. *flips hair* over it.
3/11/13 14:08 Cj:
So I might of spoken too soon… Can you explain to me what a bb cushion is? I mean is it actually a sponge or what? So confused
3/11/13 14:27 blueraccoon:
I'd normally be all over something like this–I really love compact foundations–but the lightest this comes is shade 104 which I'm afraid will be too dark for me. Compared to their tinted moisturizer where I'd be a shade 102, I don't trust that 104 will work
3/11/13 14:52 Michelle:
Muse, can you do a review on this if you pick this up?
This Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum sounds interesting to say the least (Whew! … try saying "Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum" three times fast).
3/11/13 14:58 amy:
Almay had a similar product back in '05 (or thereabout), but it was quickly DC'd. I was simply a foundation, and it was wonderfully light, but it wasn't the most hygienic product. I don't like any sort of foundation product that I have to stick my fingers in directly, but the idea of this product sounds heavenly. At $60 a pop, I'd hate to toss a half-full product after a few months.
3/12/13 1:34 Simone:
Whoah! I remember that! It was one of my very first foundations, actually!
Crazy! I remember, even as a kid, I was a bit freaked out about rubbing my fingers on it over and over.
3/11/13 15:44 The Beauty Alchemist:
I just read abt this somewhere recently. Amore Pacific in general is so lovely and this looks very neat. Definitely interested in what's it like.
I think, too, I remember the Almay Amy mentions. But vaguely
3/11/13 16:02 Alanna:
oh weird! so it's like those spongy stamp pads??
3/11/13 16:26 blue:
hey muse, will you be picking up the bb cushion's currently in korea to compare with this cc cushion? amore pacific released bb cushions last year under their hera (uv cushion mist) and iope (air cushion sunblock) brands.

Yes, pleeeeeeease review cushion BB creams! I need moar things to throw my money at!
3/12/13 3:40 Danii:
This is… Very strange looking. Interesting nonetheless! Obviously, I won't be picking it up haha.
3/12/13 10:23 Freda:
am using this ^^ pretty decent coverage & gives my skin a natural looking glow~
3/12/13 11:46 ellie:
Ever since I fell in love with IOPE Cushion last summer, I am buying another CUSION type for this summer. I just can't decide between HERA and Amore Pacific one. For now, I am leaning toward to Amore Pacific just because of color selections. IOPE Cushion(#23) was a little light for my summer skin.
Does Amore Pacific come with a refill in the box like IOPE does?
Please do review and share when you get yours. I can't wait.
3/12/13 13:24 blue:
hey ellie, what type of undertone does the IOPE cushion have? pink, neutral or yellow? how dark would u say the #23 is in terms of mac shades?
3/12/13 17:43 ellie:
IOPE air cushion #23 is called ice beige and it's a good description. It's not quite as yellow and as beige but I should say it is close to NC25 – NC30, leaning toward to neutral tone. Hope this helps.
3/12/13 12:57 Julia:
I will anxiously wait for your review, Muse!! It seems like a cool concept. The colors shown online seem a little dark though – hopefully the colors don't come across as so IRL!
3/12/13 13:38 beth:
Oooh, this sounds cute! Looks very similar to the Laneige BB soothing cushion one, which I love, so I may have to get this one too >.<
3/15/13 19:58 Jojo:
I just returned this. I was overjoyed when I tested this on the back of my hand at sephora. It feels so moist and comfortable, the finish is dewy and soft but not oily. I took this straight to the counter. I was so excited to try it the next morning. All day long I constantly smelled the perfume in this product, which gave me heachache. I couldn't wait to take it off. I could see myself sacrificing smells for something that makes my skin look better and younger…that wasn't what I hoped for either, all day long I couldn't wait to go home and wash it off. it made me look dirty as the coverage didn't last and the color turned dark on my face. I had the lightest shade which was 104 I think and it looked perfect when freshly applied. it almost looked like the moisture evaporated and I'm left with darker pigments in my face. Luckily sephora has a great return policy. I have bb creams or other foundations that cost under $20 and give me way better looking skin!
4/3/13 17:28 Pramudita:
This looks a lot like Laneige Snow BB Cushion!
I've always wanted to buy Laneige's BB cushion but I have tan skin color so I'm pretty sure it will look pasty on me! This has 4 color choices so hopefully one will fit me! I read so many good reviews on sephora.com
But I will wait for your review first before I decide to buy, Muse!
4/25/13 2:04 linda:
I am trying Amore in 104 along with the Iope Cushion XP C21. I wore them both to work today for a side by side comparison. The Amore Pacific one is a wee bit dark for me. I'm normally a NC 20-25. My friends says it looks the Amore color looks healthy and firm. The Iope one is only slightly more matte and the color was a bit lighter and my skin looked brighter. The weight and feel of both were natural and nice. I kept looking in the mirror to make sure it didn't fade because it felt like I didn't have anything on! It lasted all day without oxidizing or fading. I must say both passed with flying colors. I only have one gripe and that is the scent on the Amore. It is strong and very perfumey. But, I am willing to overlook that.
4/30/13 10:01 Tina:
I just ordered this… I am hoping it's not toooo dark… If it is, I will make sure and wear it only after spray tans.. I think it's only available ONLINE where I live at Sephora so taking it back wouldn't be possible and mailing it back to exchange would be a nightmare… :/ Color range is limited… :/
9/21/13 19:43 Jennie:
Hi Muse,
First off, I want to tell you, I enjoyed many of your products review. Some I bought but did not work for me (ex. cc cream fr tony molly — didn't like it). Again, we are all different so what works for you, might not work for me. :). Curiousity: how many products do you actually own? Where do get all the $ to buy these products?
Anyway, I first learned about the cushion foundation thr Iope product at a local Korean market. Via further search, I found out about Amore Pacific. I went to Nordstrom and bought Tan Gold #204. At first, I got #106 as recommendation per AP consultant. But it was so pinky. If you go to AP website, they tell you what color to pick for yellow vs. pink skin tone. I only use it for 2 days so my review is not entirely acurate. It does have strong/perfumey scent but I acutally don't mind so much. (The Misha BB has a smell too – at first it bored me but I kindda get use to it). Most if not all AP products have perfumey scent. But I think the scent is beautiful. I do not wear perfume so I thought it'd be too much but I am okay with it. It gives a natural, dewy look. Per recommendation of the AP consultant, I used the serum, then the moisturizer gel BEFORE using this CC cushion. I feel that it's heavy because my skin feel sticky when I touch it. I did set it with powder but it still feels sticky. I do not like sticky feeling on my skin. I was reading that skip the moisturizer (just use the serum). I will have to try it. It's medium coverage but you can build up. My skin is good that I only need to even out the tone. However, I was looking for a "quick" application. More coverage than powder but quick application like powder for on the run person like me. I found that while this is easy to apply, it's NOT quick because you have to "sponge" in the product to even it out. It takes the same amount of time as BB application for me. Like everybody else, I am fearful that it won't last long. It is very pricey. I end up with this over Iope because it's made for "american" and it's only $20 more (feel more guarantee for some reason). I am sampling AP other products too but again they are scented.
Side note: like Misha BB cream over pink skin 79 (a bit sheer). Gave away the Etude Precious Mineral BB cream b/c I bought the color too light and it seems to dry out my nose (even though I have oily T-zone). Keep up the good work Muse.
4/4/14 23:23 Jenny C:
I really want to try the AP cushion or the IOPE air cushion, but im scared their shades wont work for me. I use the Missha perfect cover in No. 27 and it matches me pretty well. Would I use tan for the AP?? If you could recommend something I would really appreciate it.
Your reviews are really helpful

There was a report in the AP that former Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron reportedly spent $6.4 million in federal money on a voter education ad campaign during the 2004 and 2006 election cycles. Ads that did little but give the outgoing secretary lots of air time.And this report is not from some disgruntled opponent but from current secretary of state, Mary Herrera – a fellow Democrat.The money spent on these ads total about a third of all federal Help America Vote Act money New Mexico received to help plan and run those elections.Vigil-Giron was criticized at the time for the excessive number of television and radio ads. Republicans complained that Vigil-Giron's appearance in the public service announcements was designed to increase her name recognition among voters.The ads prompted Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., to ask the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to review how Vigil-Giron spent federal money on them.The commission cleared her in February 2005.However, said last year it was taking another look to determine whether Vigil-Giron's administration followed federal laws and regulations in spending $19.3 million in federal election money from April 2003 through 2006.

I've read the entry in the MM for the Half-Celestial template. It applies to a non-evil creature and the creature becomes "always good". What does this phrase mean? What happens with a half-celestial character that tends to neutrality or commits evil deeds?
"Always" isn't precisely the right term
A creature that is "always" a certain alignment is only that alignment about 95% of the time, with the other 5% being composed of various exceptions such as those created by spells, an inclination to a different alignment, corruption, redemption, or just plain cussedness.
Alignment is contradictory
Though many sources (the Player's Handbook, Book of Exalted Deeds, Book of Vile Darkness, Heroes of Horror, Champions of Valor and Champions of Ruin especially) talk about alignment, they don't particularly get along with each other. Alignment is a contradictory mess full of double-standards, exceptions, confusing 'hard rules', and just plain lack of moral thought. This makes it hard to talk about in 'always' cases, especially ones like Half-Celestial that were published early on.
However, free will is a common trend
Think of Half-Celestials as having an innate instinct for goodness - they understand about mercy, empathy, compassion, love, and forgiveness the way normal people understand about breathing. As free-willed beings, they don't have to listen to these instincts - but they do have to live with them. Evil is not comfortable for such beings. Perhaps some turn to it out of a perverse thrill, the way masochists get attached to pain, but outside of those exceptional few evil is difficult and uncomfortable for beings whose essence is at least partially composed of elemental goodness the way a fire elemental is made of fire. No, there's nothing stopping a fire elemental from taking up, say, water skiing but it's certainly not the best hobby in the world for it.
There are examples of 'always' beings outside of those alignments
Fallen celestials, lawful slaadi, chaotic modrons and risen fiends exist in the 3.5 universe, often as published NPCs. The alignment rules state that if a being acts in accordance with a new alignment, they take up that alignment. From a mechanical perspective, if a half-celestial does consistent evil, then it is evil-aligned.
According to the Monster Manual v3.5, p.305, "always good" means the creature is only found without that alignment in rare cases:
Sean K Reynolds' 2003 sourcebook Anger of Angels presents some interesting templates for celestials who are not good-aligned. This usually occurs when an angel is cast out for accidentally or intentionally committing evil acts or violating the deity's rules. A deity may also create evil angels to commit evil acts for the greater good.
According to the Anger of Angels falling from grace rules:

Whatever happened to the Ann Arbor Railroad?
Hi, My name is Byron "Bud" McClellan and I want to dedicate this web site to the President of Michigan Railway Company and the 400 honest railroad workers that did their job and was never paid who lost their job in a contract dispute with the State of Michigan, namely the Michigan Department of Transportation or the Michigan Transportation Commission.
The sad part was, Michigan Interstate Railroad Company was literally drove into bankruptcy with the misuse of public money state and federal. I never did collect my wages from last worked in 1982. The Ann Arbor Railroad System was purchased by the State of Michigan for the Economic Development of North West Michigan in 1976 and later turned into high speed bicycle trails because the rails were so bad from Claire, Michigan to Frankfort, Michigan, trains could only travel 10 mph. There was nothing wrong with Michigan Interstate Railroad Company, it was the irresponsible people in the Michigan Department of Transportation.
I was very happy to serve as a license officer on one of the cross lake ferries that ran into the State of Wisconsin. I started working on the Ann Arbor Railroad when I was 17 years old, and I never have seen a caper like this in all my years of life. I'm a creditor and a stock holder of the late Michigan Railway Company.
This site, which is currently under construction, will have posted the many documents that I have collected during my 30-year battle to recover unpaid wages owed to myself and 400 other railroad workers. In the mean time, you can check out the following article from the Traverse City Record Eagle that explains my story by clicking here. If you would like to learn more, you can contact me at email@example.com, or call me at 616-805-0987.
Please check back often as this site will continually be updated with documents and information regarding this issue.

When it comes to online marketing, it is important to grab the attention of people and search engines. In order for businesses to do that right, it takes a concerted focus on both search engine optimization (SEO) and content marketing, and it is important for businesses to understand the difference.
While both go hand in hand, simply creating content will not take care of all SEO tasks. There is much more to attaining a visible online presence than just that. SEO helps businesses cast a wider net. Content marketing helps in converting traffic into sales.
Content Marketing to Get the Word Out
SEO incorporates everything on your website. While content marketing should involve an SEO-driven keyword strategy, it is also the aspect of your marketing that should work to engage your audience. It needs to be engaging and educational all at once.
Here is an example of a few content marketing-related platforms and strategies:
• Blogging
• Video
• Social media
• White papers
• eBooks
• Web page content
• Content curation
• Infographics (cool read about how inforagphics are accelerating online marketing efforts.)
It is important to think long and hard about the strategy that you want to use for your business in creating content. Chances are, it is how... Read more

Things have gone quiet (publicly at least) on YouTube's negotiations with independent labels for its upcoming subscription music service. However, news emerged at the weekend about its possible branding. It seems Google has been registering domain names around the world with the term MusicKey, including YouTubeMusicKey.com and YouTubeMusicKey.co. "The only domain names containing both YouTube and music that the company has acquired since 2006," as GigaOm reports, with YouTube declining to comment on its plans for these domain names. Speculation over the last year has pointed towards Music Pass being the name for YouTube's subscription music service, but with recent reports suggesting the company's plans remain fluid, a rebrand to MusicKey isn't impossible. Or, of course, it could relate to another music-related initiative or service that YouTube is part of within Google…

After a little Googling (ooo the irony!), I found out that this campaign is in fact supporting Yahoo!'s new search format which now features a new left column that allows users to filter results, but also to include notes in their Search Pad (does anyone know what a search pad is? I didn't…)
Will people understand the meaning of this campaign? Unlikely.
