The industry's most powerful couple, singer Beyonce and music mogul / rapper Jay Z are having issues in their marriage. A new report suggests that things have gotten so bad between them that they've decided to take a "trial separation" to see where their relationship is heading.
The two megastars have been fiercely private about their relationship, from the moment it started to the day they got married and even plans on starting a family, which is rather uncommon with today's stars.
It is precisely these plans for a baby that are now making the marriage collapse, a report in MediaTakeOut suggests.
Admittedly, sources very close to the couple can vouch that Jay and Bey can't reach an agreement on whether they want to have children or not, so they've decided to take a breather from each other for a while.
"MediaTakeOut just received some blockbuster news... from a person close to Jay Z. Jay Z and Beyonce are taking what our snitch calls a 'trial separation'. According to our snitch the couple has been at odds for the last year," MTO writes.
The problem is that, while Jay wants babies and is pressing Beyonce to have one, she continues to put her career first and can't see things his way.
"The biggest thing [they argue about] is about kids, [Jay Z] wants them and Beyonce doesn't. It's all about her career, and she doesn't want to slow down," the snitch says.
"Jigga is so animate about having kids, that MediaTakeOut learned he just entered a lease to a Los Angeles mansion – without his wife!!!" MTO further writes.
In other words, they're on to the next step, that of living separately.
"For now [Jay Z's] going to be staying in LA. Beyonce will be in NY... The hope is that with the time apart, the couple will decide to either have kids, or go their separate ways," says the same spy.
MTO has a second source to confirm that things are off between the two: at the RocNation lunch over the weekend, Jay and Beyonce "didn't even look each other in the eye."

Review the troubleshooting suggestions listed in this article if:
- You can't connect the Remote app with iTunes or Apple TV
- You can't connect through Home Sharing
- You're having difficulty connecting to an iTunes library or Apple TV to which you've previously connected
Before you proceed with troubleshooting any connectivity issues with Remote, make sure you have the latest version of Remote installed on your iOS device.
Remote updates can be downloaded from the App Store on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Check on other system requirements
Find information about system requirements.
Confirm proper iTunes settings

To setup or troubleshoot Home Sharing with iTunes:
Check your Network connections
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch needs to be on the same home or local network as the Apple TV or iTunes library you are trying to control.
Note: Some Wi-Fi networks configurations offers a Guest Network that can block certain Internet services from working or seeing other devices on your home network.
In addition, make sure that all your devices are connected to the same router, if you have multiple routers. Using multiple routers may prevent discovery between these devices.
Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the method recommended by its documentation. This may include disconnecting the power cord for 10 seconds or more. Note that any Internet services including a VOiP-based phone will not work until the router restarts.
Update your AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsules

- For Mac OS X v10.5 and later, you don't need to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall is not set to "Allow only essential services" as described in About the Application Firewall.
- For Mac OS X v10.4.11 and earlier, please follow these instructions.
- For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 Firewall, follow these instructions.
- For Windows XP Firewall, please follow these instructions.
- If you use other firewall software or hardware, check the software documentation on how to open these ports.

Love ya and hope the surgery goes well so you can enjoy your meat more often.View Thread
So.....I want to say thank you for everything. For listening. For giving advice. For the commiserating. For the laughs. For the silly parties that get deleted or edited until the entire thread makes no sense. Basically, thank you for everything. All of you. Old or new. It has meant so much to know that I am NOT alone in dealing with the anxiety, the mania, the depression and BP stuff. Or the host of other family things, medicine things and other medical stuff we come across in our lives.
If I can figure out how to stay, I will, but I don't know. Things are excelerating fast and I don't know how much time I have. Don't think I've deserted you all because I think about you all every single day. I'll miss you all like crazy and worry about you as much as I do now. I hope you all can understand this. I used to think I would never wish being bipolar on my worst enemy, but honestly, going blind after seeing things for 40 years is not only a hard pill to swallow but is so much worse than dealing with the roller coaster of BP....at least for me....the overthinker and creative personality.
I will stay as long as I can and try to say goodbye when it is time. Love you guys!View Thread

UPDATE: Last Thurs I had to really fight. The referral for the neuro opt hadn't been done because the original opt says all I need is glasses. That's not what it says on his own report. Armed up to see Lighthouse for the Blind thinking they may know some advocacy programs to help me fight through the insurance. Get there, lady gets background info from me. I give her the notes from the opt. She looks at me and says I qualify for everything because I am "legally blind." (Just to be clear because I've since looked it up, legally blind means your vision is 2/200. Mine is 1/400 in the right eye.) She sends me up the street to the State Agency for Blind Services because they pay for the programs otherwise I have to cough up at least $400. I fill out the applications, the woman reviews it, takes it to the back, and returns. I am NOT eligible because I am not blind in both eyes....or so the report says. Then it was off to the ins co and just so happens their corporate office is here in Tampa. The concierge rep gets the exact same runaround I've been getting three times. Finally he asks for a supv who tells him to call the opt and tell them that if they don't complete the referral, they will, and they will remove capitalization. He calls opt again. No help. End up faxing over notes to ins co from dr's. Next morning the opt calls with the referral.
The spinal tap sucked. No migraine. But tons of bad residual pain. They hit several nerves impacting my legs, hips and lower back. Haven't been able to rest it because ds1 was here the weekend.
In the meantime, ds1 has decided he wants to remain living with his dad because he's gotten an office in his art honor society. Mind you, unless he completes online classes this summer, he isn't going to advance to his jr yr and he is not going to be eligible for his NAHS due to his GPA. So I slapped on the "everything is just fine" mask all weekend.
The fact is: I cannot handle anymore. I'm crying over every little thing - even dripping oil on the stove while transferring food from the pan to the plate. It's that bad. I'm trying to hang in there until the 28th, 29th and 30th. pc dr on the 28th. No big deal. Neuro opt on the 29th where I know he'll do another eye exam and my left eye is going to be really bad in comparison to the last exam at the beg. of apr. And the 30th I see the infectious disease dr for follow up to the spinal tap.View Thread

President Barack Obama showcased Master Lock Company LLC as an American manufacturer that is 'insourcing" jobs back into the United States.
Obama toured Master Lock's Milwaukee plant and spoke to an enthusiastic crowd that included Master Lock employees, who are members of the United Auto Workers (UAW).
"Over the last 23 months, businesses have added nearly 3.7 million new jobs. Manufacturing is coming back. Companies are starting to bring jobs back. The economy is getting stronger. The recovery is speeding up. We're moving in the right direction," Obama said.
"So when (Master Lock CEO) John Heppner was at the White House in January, he told me how it makes more business sense for Master Lock to bring jobs back home here to Milwaukee," Obama said. "And today, for the first time in 15 years, this plant is running at full capacity. And that's an example of what happens when unions and employers work together to create good jobs. Today, you're selling products directly to customers in China stamped with those words: Made In America. And the good news is this is starting to happen around the country. For the first time since 1990, American manufacturers are creating new jobs. That's good for the companies, but it's also good up and down the supply chain, because if you're making this stuff here, that means that there are producers and suppliers in and around the area who have a better chance of selling stuff here. It means the restaurant close by suddenly has more customers. Everybody benefits when manufacturing is going strong."
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker greeted Obama at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport but canceled on his plan to accompany the president at Master Lock, where the company's union workplace was celebrated.
Walker said he had the stomach flu.

JOBY Press Release
JOBY Launches GorillaTorch 100 and GorillaTorch Flare 125 for Camping and Outdoor Adventures, and Everyday Needs
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 11, 2012 – JOBY is pleased to announce two higher-output updates for its outdoor and task-friendly flashlight designs: GorillaTorch 100 and GorillaTorch Flare 125. These popular, hands-free tools are re-engineered to illuminate any target with brighter light than ever—featuring a 100-lumen CREE LED in the GorillaTorch 100 and a 125-lumen CREE LED in the GorillaTorch Flare 125.
First launched in 2009, JOBY's GorillaTorch flashlight line quickly became a favorite tool among campers, gadget-lovers and DIYers who use the flexible, bendable legs to cast light on virtually any space for a number of tasks.
"We've been inspired by the creative, inventive and practical ways in which our customers have used their hands-free GorillaTorches—from lighting a dark space in the attic to working under the hood of a car," said Laura Kawakami, JOBY brand and product marketing director."Our brighter updates are timed to inspire more ways to illuminate this summer's activities, such as shining a light on a camp kitchen, or retrieving an item from a tent without disturbing others."
Both the GorillaTorch 100 and GorillaTorch Flare 125 feature JOBY's award-winning, bendable and flexible leg design, allowing users to illuminate numerous spaces. Rubber grip rings and powerful neodymium magnetic feet secure the lights to virtually any surface. Both products come with three AA batteries that provide up to 80 hours of run time—and the uniform battery orientation provides for a quick replacement—even in the dark. Lightweight and portable, impact- and water-resistant, GorillaTorches make ideal companions for outdoor and travel adventures.
The updated GorillaTorch 100 now delivers 100 lumens of brilliant light and features a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness. Its intense spot beam illuminates up to 190 meters up a trail or on the beach. Also re-tooled for brighter and more intense light, the GorillaTorch Flare 125 provides 125-lumen white light (at three brightness levels), plus red light for night vision. Its six light modes include a handy red-and-white emergency strobe and a memory feature of the last mode used.
The new GorillaTorch 100 ($29.95 US MSRP) is available in charcoal, lime green and dark blue. The new GorillaTorch Flare 125 ($34.95 US MSRP) comes in classic black and red. Both may be purchased through Joby.com.
Shine a light on your own summer fun by entering for a chance to win one of these super-bright, hands-free flashlights on JOBY's Facebook page.
Based in San Francisco, California, the JOBY brand was founded in 2005 with the introduction of the industry-defining and best-selling GorillaPod flexible tripod. JOBY creates creative, award-winning photo, mobile and lighting products that inspire the active lifestyle. We believe great design starts with a user-centric approach, is functional yet playful, and enhances people's lives. For more information, please visit JOBY.com.
With offices in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, France and Poland as well as distribution in more than 100 other countries, DAYMEN is a thriving global company headquartered in Sonoma County, California. Through its 3 consumer brands—Lowepro, JOBY and Acme Made—one of its products is sold every 3 seconds around the world.

Nokia C3, one of the best selling Cseries handsets is now receiving a firmware update which will improve the phone's usability and performance. The new v07.20 firmware update for Nokia C3 can be installed over-the-air (OTA) from the phone's menu or by connecting the handset to a PC and using the Nokia Software Updater (NSU).
Before updating the Nokia C3 it is recommended that users backup all their data to make sure that no important files are lost during the installation.
As a side note, depending on the user's location, the firmware update may or may not be available, as it is possible to take a longer time until it becomes available.
The changelog of the v07.20 firmware update includes the following details:
- Improved Facebook functionality;
- Updated country and region maps;
- In-device user guide;
- Performance Improvement.
The C3 strongly resembles one of the Eseries' smartphones and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a 2.4-inches TFT display with 262k colors support and 320 x 240 pixels resolution.
It also sports a 2.0-megapixel camera (1600x1200 pixels) with video recording capabilities (QCIF@15fps), 3.5 mm audio jack and Stereo FM radio with RDS.
One of the main strong points of the device is the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g connectivity, which cuts down data transfer costs.
The phone runs on S40 6th Edition interface with Flash Lite 3.0 and measures 115.5 x 58.1 x 13.6 mm.
Another useful feature is the microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 8 GB, 2 GB included), as well as the Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support.
The manufacturer rates the 1320 mAh Li-ion battery for up to 800 hours standby time or up to 7 hours talk time.
Thanks to its QWERTY keyboard, users will enjoy the social network integration (SNS Manager), that lets them keep connected with their friends and families even on the go.

31 October 2013
We were faced with a big decision this month when it came to choosing which of the month's fabulous books deserves the coveted hot spot of Editor's Choice. It has been a good month for books and with so much to love it is hard to pick just one.
However, we did what we always do in such situations. We had a couple of glasses of wine and waited for inspiration to strike. That is when we realised there was only one book to pick: one which had us roaring with laughter this month. That book is Helen Fielding's long awaited follow-up, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
What do you do when a girlfriend's 60th birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend's 30th?
Is it wrong to lie about your age when online dating?
Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice?
Does the Dalai Lama actually tweet or is it his assistant?
Is technology now the fifth element? Or is that wood?
Is sleeping with someone after 2 dates and 6 weeks of texting the same as getting married after 2 meetings and 6 months of letter writing in Jane Austen's day?
Pondering these, and other modern dilemmas, Bridget Jones stumbles through the challenges of single-motherhood, tweeting, texting and redisovering her sexuality in what some people rudely and outdatedly call 'middle age'.
The long-awaited return of a much-loved character, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious.
In our review we said that this book was one that no one could afford to miss: we laughed, we cried and we never wanted to put it down. Simply put, it is the book that we were reading well into the early hours of the morning. Pick it up as soon as you can.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is available on Amazon and the iBookstore

Why Mario Draghi Has the Hardest Job In the World
November 10, 2011
Running a major central bank is never a particularly easy job. An enormous amount of pressure—the weight of an entire economy—is riding on you. Among your major responsibilities is the job of stomping on an economy when it begins to run too hot, generating economic weakness to defang inflation. You're rarely given credit for your successes and often blamed for problems of others' making. Yet most central bankers have it easy compared to Mario Draghi, who last week assumed the job of President of the European Central Bank. Draghi's situation could scarcely be more difficult.

By DENNIS WYATT
As of Thursday, New Haven Elementary School has raised nearly $3,000 for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. The last chance for donors to help the students and faculty reach their goal of $4,000 is today during school hours.
Delta Charter High School senior Natasha Young received a surprise Monday afternoon in the school's office, as she was awarded a $44,000 scholarship at Notre Dame de Namur University, the largest offered to a Delta student in the school's history.
Starting today, Weston Ranch High School Principal Joe Fregoso will be working as the top administrator at the Stockton campus until the end of the school year in June following his resignation on Tuesday.

Dale Fritchen – a former two-term Manteca Unified trustee – believes that the school board has violated the Brown Act in at least three instances.
TRACY – Bob Elliott, San Joaquin County Supervisor, District 5, will deliver the keynote address at this year's Delta Charter High School Commencement Exercises.
Parents of Special Education students in Manteca Unified and their supporters are holding a rally on Friday in front of the school district office to demand that district officials meet with them and reinstate teacher Leo Bennett-Cauchon to his job by Monday, March 2.
Leo Bennett-Cauchon, Manteca Unified's special ed teacher who continues to be on leave of absence with pay, is taking his cause to Lathrop High School.

If you had asked us back then what the outcome would be against the Avalanche – slotted in at 14th in the West – we would have laughed heartily, then looked you dead in the eye and said "it's a win. Book it." Then we would have slapped you in the face for asking such stupid questions and afterwards taken your sister out for a steak dinner.

Update: Fixed. Question: Does it matter? Sigh... If we were hanging out together right now and talking about the Oilers Game this afternoon against the Sharks, we would probably sit back and agree that the game reminds us both of the All Ireland semi final boxing match back in 2009. "The one where Munster fought Leinster?" you would ask, "yes, the very same, the 75 kg class if we recall correctly" " we would reply. Then we would laugh and laugh, for we would have also ingested a good amount of peyote prior to having the conversation. But that's just how we roll when we get together isn't it?

Chronic Pain - Is it All in Their Head? - Daniel J. Clauw M.D. The video below is a presentation by Andrew Gross MD head of Rheumatology clinic at the University of California. Massage Therapy gets very little mention in his presentation and exemplifies that MT is still struggling to get proper recognition for the help we can offer the fibromyalgia sufferer. The video does offer good insight into the possible causes and changes in the central nervous system which is well worth understanding.

Stephen, a year or so ago i read a book co-authored by Devin Starlanyl and John Sharkey titled "Healing Through Trigger Point Therapy...A Guide to Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction". Their premise seems to be that FMS is due to ignored trigger points that soon breed more trigger points that breed more trigger points, etc. Pretty soon, it hurts to even think a bout moving. The pain overload eventually results in systemic sensitization. In extreme FMS cases, even the touch of clothing on the skin hurts.
Now, this could be ludicrous. But it pretty much describes the decade-long development of my sedentary sister in law's FMS.
Gary I used to really struggle to understand the scientific position on massage, articles etc untill I purchased Critical thinking skills via the great courses. $59 in the sale.
Take a look it really helped me http://www.thegreatcourses.com/tgc/courses/course_detail.aspx?cid=9344
Hi Gary although this article has created lots of interest for the moment I would not make any changes to how you treat FM clients based on this paper.
Those with suitable critical thinking skills are not impressed see below.
Diane Jacobs The hype around this is a bit much.
The study had very few subjects to make such a high-flying claim, and it seems to me, they were chosen quite carefully.. Pain Med, as a journal, I find tends to push for labelled-line straight-through pain explanations. Or, at least, it seems to let papers like that through without any objection at all.
Someone asked me about it on another page. I replied,
"I think it's very hyped. In order to say "pain from fibromyalgia comes from blood vessels in the hands" definitively, they would need a lot bigger sample, and a lot of "normal" people without fibromyalgia to compare them to. Then they would have to rule out the possibility that a bunch of so-called "normal" (without fibromyalgia) people ALSO had a lot of blood vessels in the skin of their hands.
So, Stephen, having just read the article, a question for you. If the premise is true, would putting FM client's hands in gloves during the session aid or hinder the treatment? Your opinion, please? and after the session, based on the premise, what advice should be given the client for "homework"?
Stephen, I posted this link with credit to you for finding it, to a LinkedIn forum. It's certainly food for thoughtful discussion.

At the end of her sophomore year, Karen Roa had a decision to make - tennis or track & field. She was talented in each, but the time it took for both was taking away from her progressing enough in either to gain a college scholarship.
"I knew I had to pick between the two," she said.
Remaining in the Terriers' dominant tennis program, a team that has not lost in eight years, compiling 126 straight wins and seven consecutive Mayor's Cup trophies? Or focus all her energy on track, where, it seemed, she had more ability, having qualified for the New York State championships in cross-country as well as indoor and outdoor track as a sophomore long distance runner?
That success ultimately made the decision an easy one, or at least as easy as it could've been given the circumstances. Roa put down her racquet and picked up her running shoes for good this fall. "The day I quit the team I knew I would miss it," she said. "It was a hard decision, but I don't regret it."
It looks like a prudent choice now. The junior long-distance runner, who holds the Catholic High School national record in the 2,000-meter steeplechase, qualified for the States again in cross-country, placing seventh. Furthermore, she set a personal and course mark in the 3,000 meters Saturday afternoon in the Mayor's Cup at the New Balance Track & Field Center in Washington Heights at 10:40.97, shattering the 11:01.70 set by Poly Prep's Avery Klein-Cloud in 2005.
"I had a good start out there and pushed the pace," she said.
Her coach, Jim May, was surprised at the time considering her two main competitors, Devotia Moore of Townsend Harris and Kerri Gallagher of Bishop Kearney, didn't take part in the competition that combined the best in private, public and Catholic school athletes from Long Island and New York City. The performance, however, spoke of the strides Roa has made just halfway through her first "real" season, as May categorized it.
In this race, she didn't jump out quick, trailing after the first lap but took the lead for good the second time around the track, never breaking stride the rest of the way. "She never looked back," May said, "which showed she was very confident."
When she played both sports, Roa would often miss two track practices a week, or at least cut them short to get to tennis practice. The increased focus on just one sport has enabled her to improve, shaving off nearly 20 seconds from her average mile, from 5:37 to 5:16.
"I definitely see a difference," the Jamaica native said. "Its just confidence."
Because of her breakout junior season, along with her exploits as a sophomore, Roa, an exceptional student with a 90 average, has already received recruiting letters from Ivy League schools Cornell and Princeton as well as Colgate.
Obviously, the decision to stick with track instead of tennis is beginning to pay dividends.

CLU men have a bad time of it
If timing is everything, Cal Lutheran's couldn't have been much worse.
"We picked a bad night to have a bad night," said CLU coach Rich Rider after his Kingsmen were upset by Pomona-Pitzer, 54-44, in the first round of the inaugural Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's basketball tournament.
Based on the numbers, it's hard to disagree.
CLU, which shot 46 percent for the season, shot just 32 percent (17 of 53), including an icy 20.8 percent (5 of 24) in the second half, and finishes its season at 21-5.
That alone probably would have doomed the Kingsmen, but Pomona-Pitzer did its part, too, by outrebounding CLU 43-21 and shooting 46 percent to score its first win against the Kingsmen after losses 17 and 19 points in the regular season, the latter game just three nights earlier.
"You need to give credit to Pomona," said Rider. "We knew they'd zone us (the Sagehens played a zone from the opening tip) and we did not have a good shooting night. And they outrebounded us pretty bad."
Pomona-Pitzer (14-12), third in the conference in the regular season, will not only play for the SCIAC's automatic playoff berth but will host the tournament finale after fourth-place Claremont-Mudd-Scripps upended Occidental 66-62 in Friday's other semifinal.
"I think we were fortunate in a lot of ways," said Pomona coach Charlie Katsiaficas. "We knew we were going to struggle guarding them, particularly their bigs one on one. Their big guys really handled us over here on Tuesday, and at our place.
"We thought we had to pick our poison, so we sat in that zone all night, and I think we were fortunate they didn't have a hot night. We started in man on Tuesday and got down 12, and then went zone, and couldn't dent the lead."
Friday, the Sagehens again found themselves down by 12 in the first half, this time at 26-12 with four and a half minutes remaining after a stretch that saw them turn over the ball on 11 of their first 22 possessions.
But Pomona then put together a 13-2 run of its own, and while the Sagehens went to the half trailing 31-25, that was certainly close enough to strike in the second half.
"We were probably fortunate to be where we were, with 14 turnovers in the half," said Katsiaficas. "The last thing we wanted to do was get in a hole like we did over here Tuesday. And we didn't get in a big one, but we got in a little one. So I credit the guys with at least stabilizing and getting through the half."
Even though they led, in retrospect the Kingsmen knew the first half was a missed opportunity because they failed to take full advantage of their 14-3 edge in turnovers, having shot just 41 percent — although those shooting woes were nothing compared to what was to follow.
"I so frustrated going into halftime," said guard Deshion Inniss.
"We knew we had a chance to pretty much end it in the first half, just take it to them, but we didn't go up as much as we wanted to. We didn't get the stuff to fall, and we got outrebounded. We should have been up a lot more."
Andy Meier, who led CLU with 13 points but suffered a broken nose in the process, agreed.
"So many shots were in and out too many shots. And we had so many steals. It was tough."
Pomona finally caught the Kingsmen on a layup by David Brown with 11:26 to go, taking a 38-37 lead. CLU tied the game twice after that, the last time at 40, but Pomona ran off the last seven points, and that proved to be enough.
Adam Chaimowitz led Pomona with 15 points and Justin Sexton scored 13 and grabbed seven rebounds. Colin Reinstadt helped the Sagehens to the rebounding edge with a game-high nine boards. No CLU player had more than four rebounds.
"They hit big shots," said Inniss, "and we didn't step up and hit ours. It's as simple as that. We have good nights and bad nights, and this was one of our bad ones."
And, as a result, it also turned out to be the last night, at least for this team.
"They had such a wonderful season," Katsiaficas said of the Kingsmen. "Co-champions; they and Oxy were a cut above in the double-round robin.
"But the pressure was on them. We had no pressure on us."

Paula Deen's sons, Jamie and Bobby Dean, are defending their mother in the wake of her racial slur scandal.
The men, who are TV chefs themselves, say their celebrity mama is the victim of "character assassination."
"Neither one of our parents ever taught us to be bigoted toward any other person for any reason," Bobby Deen, host of the Cooking Channel's "Not My Mama's Meals" told CNN. "Our mother is one of the most compassionate, good-hearted, empathetic people that you'd ever meet... These accusations are very hurtful to her, and it's very sad."
The queen of Southern cuisine has been dropped by the Food Network and sponsor Smithfield Foods, and QVC and Walmart are reportedly reassessing their relationship with Deen after she admitted to using the N-word in the past in a May deposition.
Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, are defendants in a lawsuit filed by former restaurant manager Lisa T. Jackson, who alleged that both Paula and her brother made derogatory comments about African-Americans, among other claims.
Jamie Deen told CNN that it's "ridiculous, completely absurd to think there is an environment of racism in our business, and it's really disrespectful to the people that we work with."
As for his mother's admitted past use of the N-word, Bobby Deen told CNN: "That word, that horrifying, terrible word that exists and I abhor it coming from any person... we weren't raised in a home where that word was used."

F.E.A.R. Project
What is the F.E.A.R. Project?
Focusing on Ever Active Resistance to oppression is an inclusive weekly dialogue and interactive experience, working to understand our intersecting identities and experiences. We focus on eradicating resistance to confronting oppression, identity bias, -isms, and exclusion. We are here to support each other in this process. Some of our basic principles and structure are based on the Intergroup Dialogue model.
F.E.A.R. Project Mission
To create a space for cross-cultural dialogue on all aspects of diversity. All are encouraged to challenge their pre-conceived ideas, biases, and –isms around race, class, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, body types, and ability. Our goal is to enhance participants' consciousness about the experiences of others as well as promoting a campus climate that values diversity, difference, inclusion, and social justice issues. We hope to challenge you to continue to think about how we all can combat oppression and use our own privileges to promote change.
When does the F.E.A.R. Project meet?
We meet every Tuesday in the MacCracken Meeting Room from 6-8 p.m.
Why call it the F.E.A.R. Project?
Good question! We wanted to be honest about what we are doing. Many people express fear when it comes to talking about or having those "difficult conversations" about diversity, specifically around race, class, sexual orientation, religion, etc. Fear, therefore, inhibits people from engaging in these important conversations, thus preventing people from sharing their own story and learning from others. Our goal for this project is not to inspire fear, but to Focus on Ever Active Resistance to: fighting oppression, having an open and honest dialogue, and acknowledging that we still have a lot of social and personal changes to make on diversity issues.

|'Dads Ace Edwards Dealt To Cubs
|Written by Staff Reports
|Tuesday, 23 July 2013 08:06
Hickory Crawdads RHP C.J. Edwards was traded by the Texas Rangers to the Chicago Cubs Monday as part of a three-player package that brought Cubs RHP Matt Garza to Texas. 2011 'Dad Justin Grimm was also a
part of the deal along with INF Mike Olt and a player to be named later.
Edwards, 21, had been the Ace of the Hickory rotation this year and one of the best pitchers in the South Atlantic League. The 2011 48th round pick was 8-2 with a 1.82 ERA this season, while also ranking among the SAL leaders in ERA (1st), strikeouts (1st, 122), wins (2nd) and batting average against (3rd, .186).
The deal marks the first time the Crawdads have lost a player to a mid-season trade since 2009, when RHP Matt Nevarez was sent to the Houston Astros as part of a package for Ivan Rodriguez.

I'm a full-time fine artist and dedicated recycler. I subscribe to several art magazines that contain lovely reproductions of paintings and other art forms. I can't bear to see all those beautiful pages go to the recycling center, so I often bundle them up and share them with creative friends.
In the past two years, I've become interested in collage techniques. One day, a light bulb went off under my graying pate. Why not use those brilliant magazine pages to create more artwork? I got even more inspired when I thought of how costly my canvases and art boards were. I dug through my recycle pile with glee and found the perfect support for my small collage projects: empty cereal boxes!
I cut the face and backs from each box, primed them with gesso or paint, and then snipped, glued and painted away. I estimate I have created over 50 mixed-media artworks with these materials. Their retail sales have more than covered the cost of all the magazine subscriptions and the cereal.

Flatts Golf With Tim Tebow
A few months ago, Rascal Flatts met NFL Quarterback Tim Tebow. At the time, Tim was with the Denver Broncos, and the band was performing a concert in the Mile High City. Two weeks ago, the group reunited with the newest member of the New York Jets at his annual Tim Tebow Charity Golf Tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Jacksonville Florida. Among the other participants was new Masters Champion Bubba Watson. They talked about it with Lon Helton on Country Countdown USA: "He's a heck of a nice guy. He didn't wear his green jacket, I was surprised. He came in with a plaid shirt and sleeves rolled up. I'd have worn that championship jacket everywhere. He played in the group right behind us. I'd just watch him play. It was unbelievable. He committed to doing the event before he won the Masters and kept the commitment."
Who else was there? "Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit, Prime Time was there, a bunch of football players. Christian Ponder from the Minnesota Vikings. He's a Florida State alum, so he got a lot of kidding that night, because there was a bunch of Gators in the house. Tim said, 'One of our best players, Christian Ponder, thanks for throwing the interceptions, we couldn't have done it without you!"
So what are your thoughts about Tim Tebow? "He's just 24 , and he has hospitals all over for kids. To be such a great spirit. He's a man of God that doesn't waver. He's used his platform for the greatest things. He spends so much time with kids, his time is to serve, that's what he feels he needs to do. His whole speech that night was making moments. Not in our lives, but make a moment in someone else's life."

Good causes the winner as Argyle owner braves ice challenge
Posted: September 02, 2014|
ARGYLE owner James Brent received a frosty reception at Home Park on Saturday – he was drenched with cold water as part of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
The game chairman donated cash to the Motor Neurone Disease Association -the UK version of American charity ALS, from where the challenge originated – and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
In return for his nomination, he has challenged a 60-year-old fan to lead out the team's cheerleaders, Argyle Angels, at the next home game on Tuesday, September 16.
The chilly chairman said: "It was freezing, but it was a bit of fun for a very serious cause.
"I did it after I was challenged for a charity which raises money for an awful disease.
"I donated to the MND Association, as this is where the campaign has come from, and to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust because one of our fans has a child born with the condition.
"I said I would give some more money to the charity if one of our fans joins Argyle Angels at the next home game. "He's a rather stocky 60-year-old, so it should be pretty entertaining."

- Description
Purchase the K4MS and receive for limited time the Kreg Mini & a MaxTool Multi Knife with Pouch Free.
No Rebate Required.
The Kreg Jig is the perfect choice for DIY'ers and anyone new to Pocket-Screw Joinery. Whether you're building your first set of garage storage shelves or making simple repairs around the house, the Kreg Jig can help you finish the job in less time, and with far less effort than you ever thought possible. Its simple design gives you the confidence to start the project, and with joints as easy as "Drill. Drive. Done!" - you'll actually want to finish it.
3-Hole Removable Drill Guide
Our patented 3-Hole removable Drill Guide lets you make perfectly placed Pocket-Holes in a wide variety of material widths and thicknesses, without ever having to release the clamp and reposition the workpiece. The Drill Guide can be removed completely from the benchtop base and used for making repairs just about anywhere.
Hardened Steel Core
Drill Guides are subject to direct contact with the drill bit every time a Pocket-Hole is created. The core of every Kreg Jig features hardened steel which carries an exclusive 100% Lifetime Guarantee. The Kreg Jig's core shrouds the bit and supports the workpiece through 100% of the drill-stroke. The end result is minimal bit deflection, reduced tear-out, and a clean, pluggable Pocket-Hole fit for finish work.
Large Clamping Recess
The Large Clamping Recess makes it easy to secure your jig to your workbench using our multi-purpose Face Clamps or any common bar clamp or c-clamp.
Sturdy Toggle-Clamp
The Kreg Jig's rear-mounted clamp design has been around since the first Kreg Jig. It's a proven design offering incredible rigidity and uncompromising workpiece hold-strength. Adjustments are as easy as releasing the lock-nut, and rotating to the correct setting.
Glass-Reinforced Nylon Body
The blue body of the Kreg Jig is actually made from a heavy-duty glass-reinforced nylon. This unique composite material offers the resiliency and flexibility you need without sacrificing the strength and durability Kreg customers have come to expect.
Superior Angle
Unlike competing jigs with a shallower angle of approach, the Kreg Jig features an optimized drilling angle specifically designed to increase driving efficiency and minimize the overall size of the Pocket-Hole. The result is a compact Pocket-Hole, less than 1-1/2" in size.
Wood-Chip Relief
Sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to overlook. The Kreg Jig includes 1 wood-chip relief hole for every Drill Guide hole, designed to keep the drill bit clear of excess wood chips, minimizing drill torque, increasing the longevity of your drill bits, and allowing you to complete a perfect Pocket-Hole in one plunge instead of three!

The lights are on
(NOTE: This is currently incomplete. Introduction and two abilities are complete. More will be added either today, or tomorrow. Feel free to contribute.)
Abilities are your most important tools in Revelation's multiplayer. They allow you to hinder your opponents, expose them, escape them, and even out right kill them. So it's very important to experiment and find the perfect loadout for you. There are two default sets of abilities and they will be your starting weapons. Make the most of them, because these will help you learn the ropes while providing you the chance to stick your hidden blade in your opponents.
(Ordered according to level requirement.)
Number in () is the level required to unlock said ability. Number in (()) is the amount of Abstergo credits required to buy said ability.
Disguise (5) ((35)): This is a simple ability suited to blending with the crowd, while evading pursuers. Activating the ability will cause your character to transform into another character model. However, you will still show up on your pursuers compass and line of sight indicator. It's best not to use this ability while your pursuer is in your line of sights as it will often tip them off to your presence. It can also be used to get closer to your target safely if for some reason your character model has been revealed to them, though it will not protect your from becoming Notorious, meaning your target will be able to see you clearly as you are marked with a red arrow. It is often used in team Manhunt mode when your team is being pursued. There are challenges associated with stunning your pursuer while Disguised, and killing your target while Disguised.
Decoy (5)((35)): Useful little ability that is handy when a pursuer is near. Activate it and an NPC will transform into your Character model and start running around, often times causing your pursuer to kill the Decoy, which earns you a +100 point bonus called "Lure". Often used in various team based modes to lure a pursuer into striking then Stunning your exposed pursuer. This is often not safe because teams tend to move in packs, meaning you will expose yourself to other pursuers.
Tripwire Bomb (9)((40)): This ability can easily seem useless at first, but it actually just requires a little thinking. This ability is best suited to putting it down, and immediately sitting on a bench, hiding in a hay stack, or blending with a stationary crowd. The reason is, when ever you activate this ability, it takes a few a seconds to arm, meaning it's almost useless in a chase. But, it's real use is for taking out surprised targets, and stunning bewildered pursuers. The bomb acts like a motion sensitive smoke bomb, making any pursuer or target that steps into it's area of effect instantly n easy target as they choke on the smoke. That means you can get an easy kill, or perhaps the satisfaction of stunning a pursuer. Very useful in Team Manhunt, as not only can it save your butt, it can save other teammates by alerting them to an opponents presence.
Closure (9)((40)): One of the more useless abilities. It automatically sets off all chase breakers within a small range of you. It's a very situational ability, best suited for trapping an unaware target. Besides that, I've never seen this used much or used it much. When it comes to trapping unaware targets, there are better abilities for that. However, those abilities are unlocked at a higher level. If you're desperate for something, you can give this a try, but in reality, it's a waste of forty Abstergo Credits.
Templar Vision (11)((45-50)): This is pretty much Eagle Vision/Sense put it to multiplayer form. Pursuers are highlighted in red, targets in blue, and other Templars in white. The catch is you light up in sparkling white while the ability is being used, exposing yourself. Some have suggested using this is cover like crowds and around corners. It's very useful for finding targets in large crowds. One use that I've found to be effective is to stand on a rooftop, activate Templar vision, lock on to your target, and shoot them with a Hidden Gun. It's not worth a lot of points, but it's useful in tight crowds.

Is Facebook having a mid-life crisis?
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Ian is a Senior Developer for Piehead
Have you resisted posting something to Facebook in fear that your Dad might complain? Do you frantically un-tag yourself in photos your old college friends post to make sure Grandma doesn't see you in a toga? As the average age of Facebook users starts to rise, these activities are becoming more common among many members of Facebook's core user base. The initial crowd that fled MySpace to poke their college friends on The Facebook is starting to change their habits.
Now that Facebook lost the 'The' and added your Mom, it seems that photos of college parties and three AM status updates are being replaced by "funny" images once reserved for the ceiling posters at the dentist's office. Sometimes if feels like an elderly relative or acquaintance is just waiting to popup on chat yelling, "Damn you kids! Get off of my wall!"
This shift may not hurt Facebook much now, but it does open the door for a variety of new social media sites looking to recapture the attention of Generation Y. Google attacked the awkward sharing issue directly by creating Google Plus and focusing on creating circles of friends with which you could share. Unfortunately for Google, this led to a large volume of private posts making the site look like a ghost town to new users. The result has been a massive drop in user growth since the initial burst of early adopters.
The few sites that have had success in picking up the Facebook refugees have taken a much different approach than Google. While Google tried to create a system where you could be friends with everybody, but divide people into groups, many new social sites are focusing on specific niches and sub-cultures. One example is Pinterest. Rather than creating a robust social networking app, they've provided a simple system for tagging and commenting on items that users, predominantly Gen Y women, find interesting. Quora, a site started for asking and answering questions related to technology, is another example of a social media site that is focusing on a specific function for a certain type of user.
With apps like Google Plus floundering and smaller competitors like Pinterest and Quora seeing success, it may be time to stop asking what the next big thing will be in social media. As the variety (and age) of Facebook's users increases, the real answer might not be the next big thing, but rather the next group of small things. Rather than looking for next Facebook or MySpace, it may be time to shift the focus back to niches.
Will the next big thing in social media actually be a single app or will it be the system that best connects a variety of apps targeted at specific groups of people?

Basic Mobile Telephone Manners (film)
Posted By admin On October 28, 2013 @ 9:24 am In Social, Style, Travel | 5 Comments
By Dana Gornitzki
Hello, dear reader, will you please turn your ringer off? And please stop sending text messages while we're at it - we're trying to have a conversation.That's better, thank you.
The film below covers a few basic tips on how to be more polite when using your mobile telephone. It's not rocket science, it's simple and courteous conduct.
We know and love the mobile phone, and relish the flexibility and convenience it offers. We just want to rid the world of deplorable mobile phone etiquette: people shouting into their phones, answering in our company, or using it in potentially dangerous situations (ie; driving or cycling). Yes, be gone now and forever.
And we know we're not alone on this one. [1] These gentlewomen and gentlemen have set up their very own site on the interweb discussing handy tips and faux pas.
Of course, we're not amused by rude mobile phone behaviour…but [2] going to prison? Well, this seems a pinch extreme, but it's a tactic currently being considered in India, where a reported 277 million phone users natter away - many too piercing, it seems.
Ah yes, we dream of an end to crass and vulgar use of the mobile telephone..but softly, softly.
If you're polite (and we hope you are), then we're sure you know someone you can share this with - you know, that chum or colleague who is a touch too loud or addicted to their mobile phone.
And yes, yes, that's fine, you can turn your phone back on now. Vibrate mode, please.
Are rude mobile phone users a pet peeve of yours? Or is it you, dear reader, who is a pinch boorish with your mobile phone? (Shame on you, by the way). Please share your thoughts by commenting below.

Butterfly Tables
REVIVED from our Colonial past, the butterfly table is once more becoming as useful and as universal a piece of furniture as it was in New England in the eighteenth century.
Empire Furniture
IT is the strange fortune of the style of furniture known as Empire to be more widely loved in its modifications than in its purest form.
Italian And Spanish Peasant Furniture
PEASANT furniture from Italy, Spain and Portugal is being used increasingly in sun rooms and living rooms. Simply made and gayly painted, these chairs, settees, tables and stools supply in their naive decorations a light note of color often lacking in our own furniture.
Spanish Chairs
THE wider and more intelligent interest in interior decoration has caused furniture designers to delve into the past and bring forth forms of furniture and examples of the use of brilliant colors with which heretofore only the connoisseur was familiar.
Spanish Tables
THERE is always a picturesque quality about a Spanish table, whether it is a big walnut piece with two carved pedestals, a lighter type with supports cut in fantastic silhouettes suggesting a lyre, a Spanish version of the gateleg and butterfly tables, or one of many styles with slender legs of many ornamental turnings and graceful iron stretchers of Mudejar art.
Maple Furniture
THE vogue for colonial furniture in disclosing the general use of maple furniture in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, has had, no doubt, considerable to do with making apparent the possibilities of this pleasant wood for modern use.
Lacquered Furniture
THE demand for color in interiors has brought into popularity again after more than two hundred years the Chinese lacquered cabinets, tables and desks once found in American, English and French homes.
Inlay And Marquetry
AMERICAN craftsmen bid fair to rival their European colleagues in the art of inlay and marquetry. This decoration of furniture with designs made up of bits of wood of various hues was, 150 years ago, considered the final touch to be given to important furniture by English and French cabinetmakers.
Painted Furniture
A RECENT development in the decorating of modern furniture has been the introduction of touches of color here and there on the carvings and turned legs and spindles of modern made furniture.
Ormolu Mounts
FRENCH furniture, decorated with the gilt bronze ornaments known as ormolu mounts, has come into greater favor as the better types of French cabinet work of the eighteenth century have been more widely used.
Carved Furniture
CARVED furniture, which came into vogue along with other Spanish things has increased its popularity. Besides the pieces carved in Renaissance manner, familiar in Spanish and Italian examples, there is also available in reproductions furniture carved in the Gothic tradition of Northern Europe.
Love Seats
SO useful today is the small sofa known as the "love seat," that one might almost believe it to have been originally designed for modern interiors. In a not too large living room love seats, one on either side of the hearth, invite without projecting too far into the room.
Printed Linens
IT is astonishing how much art and beauty are embodied in cretonnes and hand-block printed linens.
Glazed Chintz
IN spite of the fact that modern ingenuity is producing new fabrics and weaves every season, one of the most useful materials in home decoration is still the old-fashioned glazed chintz.
Upholstrey Brocade
THE movement in modern decoration toward new and more brilliant combinations of color in decorative fabrics has now made its impress on upholstery brocade.
Silk Damasks
MORE noteworthy even than their beauty and technical excellence is the fact that silk damasks those aristocrats of decorative fabrics are now woven on American looms.
Traditionally a pile or velvet fabric, mohair may now be obtained also in smooth cloths for window and bed drapery, wall hangings and upholstery of furniture; even a net weave has been made for glass curtains for windows.
Candlewick Spreads
The candlewick bedspread received its name from the early practice of using for working the design the coarse white yarn then employed for the wicks of home-made candles.
Crewel Work
THE increasing use of varied design and brilliant colors in decorative textiles has brought back Jacobean crewel work as a covering for twentieth century chairs and couches.
Petit Point And Gros Point
ALMOST disused for over a century, petit point and gros point needlecraft is again in vogue. These two stitches, known under the generic name of needlepoint embroidery, provide, as in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, both an interesting occupation for feminine fingers and charming upholstery for the family furniture.
Old Spanish Copes, Etc.
MORE than connoisseurs, owners of homes with wide spaces of rough plaster are responsible for the great demand for velvet embroidered copes and chasubles and the secular Spanish "reposteros" or embroidered family coat-of-arms.
Balcony Tapestry As Hangings
TAPESTRIES are an adaptable form of decoration, fitting into almost any ensemble. A large one may cover the wall of a small room and not dwarf the apartment, and yet a small square on the wall will completely furnish the space and impart an interesting effect as was long ago discovered.
Windsor Chairs
THE popularity of the simple forms of furniture of other days has brought into prominence the Windsor chair.
Spanish Rugs
SPANISH rugs-up to a few years ago known only to connoisseurs are now being sought by householders, whose vargueno and Spanish table need a floor covering to harmonize.
Alpujarra Rugs
APPRECIATION Of the arts of rural folk not only of our country but also of Europe has brought to America a type of rug still little known abroad.
Aubusson Rugs
Amoung the refinements of house furnishings which decorators are more widely employing are the Aubusson rugs or carpets.
Hooked Rugs
THE making of hooked rugs is one of the few Colonial home crafts that have come down to us. A short time ago hooked rugs had to be sought in villages and farmhouses by those who desired these old-fashioned floor coverings.
THE desire for more individual floor effects and the demand that floor decorations fit accurately into period interiors have developed a new form of floor covering. This is the embossed tile linoleum floor that simulates in appearance actual tile work even to the mortar divisions.
FOR some time painted walls have tended to crowd out the use of wallpaper; but the revival of early American furniture developed a need for appropriate background.
Bell Pulls
THE old-fashioned bell pull in times past used to summon a servant from "below stairs" has been revived as a useful adjunct to certain period rooms.
SAMPLERS, quaint mementos of the past, are coming into their own as wall decorations.

City Council members gave the go-ahead Monday night to spend half a million dollars for the final design of the long-awaited renovation of the Watertown Municipal Arena.
The Watertown City Council unanimously authorized a $510,403 contract with Stantec Consulting Services, a Rochester engineering firm, to draw up the final plans for the project, which is expected to cost $6.2 million to nearly $7 million.
Before his vote, Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. wanted to get assurances that council members still had a chance to decide where the hockey team benches would end up. He noted some arena users prefer they remain on the same side as the bleachers.
City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk told him that discussions on the team benches would come while Stantec works on the design.
This is the beginning, not the end, he said. There will probably be a zillion changes before now and then.
Plans currently place the team benches on the same side as the bleachers or on the opposite side, as has been discussed in recent months. They also call for a second floor to accommodate collapsible bleachers with an entrance from above, rather than at rink level.
By having the public enter from above, the design would create separate entrances for hockey teams and fans.
In February, the council informally agreed to move forward with the planned renovations at the 40-year-old arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds. To pass on Monday night, it needed four votes from the five-member council.
The next big vote will come after bids are returned next fall, which will show the projects final cost.
As it stands, the project would include a new entrance and lobby on the buildings west side, a main locker room and a hospitality room, more office space, a new concession area and a combined training-break locker room. The ice rinks roof would be replaced and a new concrete floor would be installed.
Bids would go out later this year for a spring 2015 construction start.
The ice rink is the home of the Watertown Privateers semiprofessional hockey team and youth hockey games. Discussion of the renovations comes at a time when the Privateers might be sold to a local group of investors. Concerts, festivals and other events also are held at the arena.

The Famous Grouse Finest
The Black Grouse
The Grouse Gold Reserve
Mathew Gloag & Son History
The Grocer and wine merchant Mathew Gloag & Son was founded in Perth in 1800 Quickly adding whiskies to his range. Buying directly from various highland distilleries they built up a reputation in both wines and whisky.
In 1842 Mathew Gloag & Son supplies the wine for a banquet held in honour of Queen Victoria on her first visit to Perth.
During1860 the business passed to Mathew's son, William B Gloag, and then onto his nephew, Mathew in 1896.
At some point under William's control the firm started blending whiskies
When Mathew takes over he creates a blended whisky called the Grouse brand.
Mathew's daughter Phillippa draws the Red grouse that is to become the world famous label and trademark.
By 1905 the whisky has become so popular and is referred to as the famous grouse that Mathew decides to add the word "Famous" to the name so "The Famous Grouse" brand is born
During 1907 The Famous Grouse whisky has become so successful, the company has to relocate to bigger purpose built premises at Bordeaux House in Perth..
In 1910 Mathew retires and his son Mathew William Gloag, commonly known as "willie" takes over the business. He works hard to promote The Famous Grouse brand both in the UK and overseas. By 1935 a bonded warehouse and bottling plant had been added to the firms facilities.
On Willie's death his son Mathew Fredrick Gloag takes over in 1947.and continues work in both the home and export markets. His son Mathew I Gloag joins the firm in 1967.
Mathew Gloag & son are acquired by Highland Distillers in 1970 that see The Famous Grouse as a major brand to promote; At the time of the acquisition sales were about 90,000 by 1979 they had risen to over one million.
By 1980 The Famous Grouse becomes Scotland's Favourite whisky.
The Famous Grouse is awarded a Royal Warrant in 1984.

Electronic Retailer QVC Stays Recession-proof
By: Leslie Benson
Posted: August 5, 2008, from the August 2008 issue of GCI Magazine.
Allen Burke
page 2 of 2Raising the bar for electronic retail mediums is exactly what Burke does. Before working with QVC, his 13-year career as divisional cosmetics merchandise manager for Marshall Field's department stores introduced him to the power of building a brand's position in the market. "It also gave me the opportunity to meet cosmetics business leaders who have a great understanding of quality and fashion in the beauty industry," he adds.
The experience trained Burke to lead QVC's beauty division into a sought-after launch destination for start-up brands and prestige products. "I love my job; I don't have to gear up for it," he says. "When you're a merchant, you enjoy finding and growing new business."

By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
We may be witnessing a very important shift in the character of the Republican Party. For decades now, it has tended to nominate very established names for president. The party nominated Richard Nixon to its presidential ticket five times in 30 years. Over the last 20 years, there has been a Bush or a Dole on the ticket for all but this last presidential election. The Republican presidential nominee is almost always the front-runner, the established candidate, the guy who's waited his turn: McCain, Dole, Bush Sr., Nixon.
The Democratic Party, by contrast, tends to nominate the outsider: Obama, Clinton, Carter and Kennedy. If history is the guide, this means the Republican Party will nominate Mitt Romney for president. He is the establishment candidate; he has run before; he is the most mainstream figure in the party. But I get the sense that the Republican Party is changing.
Power has shifted to the South and West. The energy of the Republican Party has moved away from the coasts and the big cities. Power has also shifted away from the proverbial smoke-filled rooms to the grassroots. The forces that represented the establishment in the Republican Party - the big corporations and the banks - are much weaker. The forces that are strong today are Christian conservatives, libertarian activists and other more diverse, populist groups. These groups have always existed but before now they were directed by the coastal elites. Not anymore. The tea party represents the dramatic acceleration of these forces. That's why all the Republican presidential candidates are trying to take up the mantle of the tea party.
These forces are elevating Rick Perry such that we may end up with a situation where all the energy, enthusiasm and numbers are behind him. It would not matter that the Republican establishment was behind Romney because that establishment no longer controls much. What matters is the entrepreneurial game of getting people and money. Perry seems to be doing pretty well at that.
If Rick Perry does emerge as the front-runner, it is not just the story of one guy doing well; it is the story of a very different Republican Party than the one we have been familiar with for the last 30 or 40 years.
It would result in a Republican Party with greater energy, enthusiasm and street cred, but also one that is more extreme, uncompromising and much less concerned with being dismissed by the mainstream media or characterized as irresponsible by people like me. It will make for a more difficult political system because these are the forces that have been very reluctant to compromise. We may find that the debt showdown was just the beginning.
Fareed, the world has seen before how a nobody from Austria dominated Germany by guiding resentment and ignorance, and what took to remove and the aftermath onwards. Let this not happen in America, the beacon for liberty!
Why not vote for Ron Paul?
What a perfect shot! That's one scary looking dude and from what I've heard him present as to what are his politial views and stance the fear is just compounded.! And by what attributes do you think he qualifies for the seat of president?
You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation however I find this topic to be actually one thing which I feel I'd by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very huge for me. I'm having a look forward to your next post, I'll attempt to get the hold of it!
