i personally would not recommend staying in baker's dorms. they lack greatly in cleanliness, are overcrowded, and way too expensive for what you are getting.…

the housing options at baker are nice and clean. it is a smoke-free campus, and the cost is less than at many other colleges or universities.…
Food is excellent, seeing that I help prepare some of the food.
Read Morei am a Vegan, not a veggie head; I eat fruits, nuts, grains, homemade breads, and noting dairy, processed, or that has to be killed. The food is semi-accommodating for someone like me, but I am able to eat if I needed to; yet I live next to school, I can just go home. There is lots of dining space here though, as the there are two dining halls in the building. I am sure you will be fine though, and if your like to go to the grocery store, there is a supermarket called, The Plum just around the corner, and there is a CVS and Walgreen also on the end of the street.
Read MoreBaker College of Muskegon is known for the Culinary Institute, they have professionals and students cooking for you.
Read MoreAmazing!
Read MoreI'm really bummed there isn't a food program at Baker, but it's because many of the students are commuters and the others live in the dorms with full kitchens. However, there are places to purchase food within the college and it's always really yummy and fairly reasonably priced.
Read MoreThe areas that I have been to are great. The staff is courteous and the areas are clean. Food is made to order and is affordable.
Read MoreAll of the food is deep fried and very unhealthy
Read MoreThere is the grill which I don't eat there...they do not have meal plans here.
Read MoreThere is a wonderful place called the Quarterline Grille that serves a variety of different types of food at a cheap cost.

You can feel free to talk and as questions of you fellow peers and they will assist, guide and encourage you. Yes the fellow students are also willing to help you be a successful student.

Read MoreNon-applicable.

Caligrase Sewers
this wiki
- Main article: Dungeons
Region: Illfalo Port
Recommended Level: 1 Party Size Limit: 4
An unused portion of the underground sewer system. Beginner adventurers can use this area to test their skills as only weak monsters appear in Caligrase.
Of course, that leads certain thieves looking to profit from beginners, to this area.
The Adventurer's guild, with the help of the Ministry of Arcanum, set traps for the thieves to lock them in the dungeon.
However, there are rumors that the thieves have finally escaped.
How to Unlock Edit
- Minimum Soul Rank Required: 1
- Required completion of Dungeon: Tutorial Trial
(how to unlock guide goes here, which is typically what the player does in Town to unlock it)

Creature List Edit
Adventurer's Entrance Edit
Dark Angel Statues Edit
Adventurer's Entrance Edit
Dark Angel Statue 1 Edit
- Location:
- Switch locations are Grids: E3, H5, G4, and E6
- To enter the first Dark Angel statue you need to activate four switches located around the main hall. The first one is to the right after descending the first flight of stairs. The second one can be located by following the left hand wall until you enter a small alcove, the switch is in the alcove. The third can be found be again following the left hand wall until you go up some stairs, across a walkway, and into a hallway with some zombies in it. The fourth can be found by returning back the way you came, and then going up the stairs directly across from the stairs you just came down. After all four are turned on, you can access the first dark angel statue.
- Enemies: 4x Lagrisse Legion, 1x Lagree Dominion
- The fight inside the first Dark Angel statue consists of several zombies, which should not present much of a challenge for any class.
Dark Angel Statue 2 Edit
- Location:
- To enter the second Dark Angel Statue, you need two items in order to unlock it. Those two can be found at the slates along the hallway to the second Dark Angel statue. Read those slates and you get the items.
- Enemies: 20x Cage Beetle
- The beetles are pretty weak and can be handled by any Class. Be sure to have plenty of mana for those who play Mage. Completing this fight gives you access to Kaoka Parrej Ruins
Dark Angel Statue 3 Edit
- Location:
- The third Dark Angel Statue is the last final battle or Boss Stage in this dungeon. To enter, you will need to get the three items as told by the Statue. Those items can be found in the rubbles in the sewers (Rubbles are pile of junk that has shining icon above and will give you items once you've received quests to search in it.) There are exactly 3 Rubbles in sewers and each of them contains the items you need. The first rubble is in the place where you first sighted Garbage Zombie (The path below the Bridge just right after the second Dark Angel statue). Interact with it and proceed to the sewers. As you move forward, you will see two path, the path ahead of you and the path left to you. You already know that left path is towards the Last Dark Angel statue, so you must proceed forward. As you move forward there are two paths again, one on the left and one to the right. Move to the left path first and continue moving until you found the second Rubble. Interact with it and go back to the intersection. This time move to the right path and continue moving until you find the third rubble. (Avoid fighting the monster with purple aura (Lone Wolf Silver Fang), because its a high level monster and can 1 hit players.) As you have found the third rubble, interact with it and go back to the third Dark Angel statue and enter.
- Enemies: 1x Crazy Lilac, 1x Dandelion, 1x Hungry Pansy, 1x Mad Jasmine, 1x Black Rose
- Clearing this battle completes your Story Quest. Soloing this battle might give hard time since these mobs hits hard but with good combat skills soloing this battle with any Class is possible. Party up with other players to make battle easy.
Maps Edit
Related Guides Edit
Tips Edit
There are many things that help you at the beginning.
- Zombies go back to their place when you take some steps back, which makes it easier to kill them.They often drop health potions, be sure to have some with you.
- Accept missions from the NPC in the great hall beside the first Dark Angel statue to earn EXP and gold.
- Save the shining rocks. You can make keys out of them which lets you open specific treasures in dungeons.
- Creating a party with one or more other players can be hugely beneficial. Group play will make this and all subsequent dungeon much more manageable.
- For 1 Hand Sword Fighters, this is the best place to learn how to block enemy's attack using shield. Press "Shift" to block. This is useful when a player loves to solo monsters. You may hold the shift key while attacking so it will be more efficient to you when you want to block.
- Level up by drinking at the fountain in the dungeon or at the Town inn. This is very important since leveling up enables you to access more of your skills and increase your HP bar and MP bar.

Overall Rating
Travis always takes the time to explain the service and he has always been honest about what is recommended. I trust him.
Excellent service. Appreciate the fact they don't push unnecessary repairs like the dealerships love to do.
Great, prompt service.
Friendly and good service.
Very good service & keeping an eye on possible future problems. Fair pricing
I'm totally sold on you guys. You've got me for life.
Reliable and friendly.
Great service, explained everything with detail and clarity. Very thorough service of my car.
Very excellent!
Very good experience last time, but it was only my first time there. I'd be more likely to recommend after multiple visits.
Dealer charge too much.
The car was booked in for regular service, no "surprises" found. The car was ready for pick up when promised.
Service was fine.
Good job. Friendly people.
Great customer service. Fair price for work done.
Great service and nice people!
Disappointed in the fact I was hoping they would tell me the car was toast, and it would be an astronomical amount of money to fix it. I could then buy a new car. But No! They did a thorough diagnosis for a very reasonable amount of money. They convinced me the car was fine and did not need $3000 worth of repairs. I'll live with the car.
Everyone is always polite and accommodating.
Just great and very professional.
Service was done on time and good communication regarding necessary repairs.
Everyone is always helpful and the service is quick.
Excellent experience!
Great experience
Great customer service. They don't try to push more repairs on you. Reasonable pricing.
Always satisfied.
It was quit helpful and reasonable price.
Courteous, regarding service, helpful advice regarding recommended future work.
Did a great job on my brake system overhaul.
Above and beyond the call of duty! They managed to contact me even though I moved after I requested service.
My first time, but I went with high expectations. They were certainly met. Much more convenient than my local Toyota dealership, and first-rate workmanship.
Terrific experience. No surprises.
Missed headlights no apologies.
Matt and his team are extremely attentive to scheduling needs, expert repair, and reasonable pricing.
Great service and nice people!
Staff thoroughly explained the type of repair and provided options not often discussed on other service visits to car dealerships.
I totally trust them with all my cars, they never push to get everything done but listen to my budget and work with me to make it happen.
Great experience. Serviced on time with good feedback on car maintenance issues to keep an eye on.
The work was done in a timely manner for a fair price.
I think repairs are overpriced.

'Ugly Betty': If Only Tony Could See Angela Now!
You know, Judith Light?
Either it's the stylists who are on strike or we're just hung-over, but was everyone on Betty wearing the exact outfit as last week? They were! Okay, it was a continued episode. But even soap operas have outfit changes in their hospital scenes. Anyway, we left off with Bradford Meade going down right before the "I do." Très suspenseful, writers! Will he die? Will he marry Willy before he kicks it? Will she inherit everything? Will Marc stop wearing that awful shiny suit before we hurl? Oh … too late. So let's just get this over with: the crimes against fashion.
Two Bettys are not better than one.
How cruel, ABC. Forcing one Betty on us is bad enough. But two? The ghost of bad outfits past shows our protagonist just how much she's changed (yawn) because, you know, fashion does that to you. Like any of us need our souls anymore.
Judith Light's makeover … actually works?
We don't go for Hilda's particular brand of hoochiness. We get that the girl has tatas and likes to flaunt the girls every chance she gets. But: She made Judith Light look downright hot. We're talking big, brown hair, tight pink top, and boobs. Don't even get us started on the makeup and chunky accessories. If only Tony could see Angela now!
Knocking down nerds will never go out of fashion.
In an attempt to thwart Betty and Henry from getting to Bradford's will, Marc tosses Betty's glasses on the ground. As she's on all fours, he pushes Henry on top of her. Nerd pile! Oh, how we laughed. It was just like high school! Seriously, Marc, if you didn't dress like an extra from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, we'd totally hang with you.
While we wait, with bated breath, for ABC to bring us La Lohan, we'll have to just content ourselves with the little snippets of dialogue that are actually funny. This week, after catching Betty and Henry kissing, Wilhelmina utters, "If I ate lunch, now would be the time to lose it." —Amina Akhtar

[fr] Encore une idée pour un plugin WordPress, qui permettrait d'afficher sur chaque page de "catégorie" une liste des tags courants utilisés pour étiqueter les billets de cette catégorie. Il y a des volontaires?
I've been doing some cleaning up around here — mainly the sidebar, which now tries to provide links which make sense depending on which page we are looking at. I've also added navigation between monthly archive pages, and I'm working on my archive index a little.
I thought Weighted Categories looked like a nice plugin, particularly as I have (too) many categories. You can now see it in action for Climb to the Stars.
These last weeks, I've been getting into quite a few conversations about tags and categories (and keywords). "Will tags replace categories?" seems to be the big question. I don't think they will. They do not serve the same purpose. I'm less sure about keywords: since I've been tagging all my posts, I've stopped choosing keywords for them too. But I'm clearly aware that I do not choose my tags in the same way as I chose my keywords — so it would probably make sense to keep them both (if keywords are actually useful, and I keep getting contradictory information about that).
So, to my plugin idea: for each category page, I'd love to be able to display a list of "tags used for posts in this category". This list could be weighted, or not. It would be pretty simple to retrieve from the database. Off the top of my head and probably with syntax errors, something like: select * from post_meta where key='tags' and post_id in (select post_id from table_categories where cat_id = 'our current category'). Whee, that must be the ugliest wannabe-SQL ever written — but you get the idea, don't you? Then, the list of tags would be parsed and weighted as are categories in this plugin.
Anybody want to take up the challenge? Actually, this might be best as an extra feature for Bunny's Technorati Tags, as it wouldn't be much use without tags. Let me know if you'd like to do it (credit, of course, will be given) — otherwise I'll probably end up doing it myself at some point.
Thanks for listening to me think out loud, and my apologies to my non-techie readers — I know my weblog hasn't been very interesting for you to read lately!

Except for cruise ships, buffets are the worst for our weight. The cruises that I've taken have been essentially round-the-clocks feasts.
The all-you-can-eat buffets don't seem as bad as going on a cruise. After all, each buffet is just one meal. But the urge to gorge seems to come naturally when we know that we only have one chance to fill er up with the multitude of delicacies in the serving line.
Whether it's a cruise ship or a buffet restaurant, we are sure to gain weight. I know.
I won't even consider cruising any more. But after each monthly meeting, my diabetes men's support group has a little ritual of going to the nearby Nepalese restaurant. Like most all Indian and Nepalese restaurants, it has a wonderful lunch buffet. Unfortunately, I love Nepalese food and always gain at least two pounds every time I eat there.
So, when I interviewed a prominent obesity expert who mentioned that he offers behavioral modifications for people who have to handle difficult situations, "like a big buffet," my personal antenna went up. I was talking with Victor J. Stevens, Ph.D., a senior investigator at Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Stevens is the co-author of one of the largest weight loss maintenance trials every conducted. My most recent article here reviewed it, especially the strategy to keep a food diary.
My problem with the buffet is a tough one for almost everyone, he told me. We have two good ways of dealing with these difficult situations.
"The easiest way is to just avoid it," Dr. Stevens starts. "So my first piece of advice is to stay away from buffets."
Our second best choice is to try to change the situation in some way. If it's just a question of the bread or chips while you wait for the entree, at least you can tell the waiter not to bring the bread or chips to the table in the first place.
"Another strategy would be to cut a deal with somebody else in the group," Dr. Stevens says. "Tell him or her that that you only want to go through the line once, and that you want him or her to hold you to it. Then make sure you sit next to that person."
Yes! I exclaimed. "I will try that tomorrow when we go back to the Nepalese restaurant."
Before we left for the restaurant, I told my best friend in the group that I just wanted to go through the line once, instead of the three times that I usually do.
But he persuaded me to limit myself to two trips. The first one would be little samples of most everything, and these second trip would be normal portions of those dishes that tasted best to me.
That compromise sounded reasonable. However, it totally failed. On my scale the next day my weight was up two pounds.
I haven't been to the Nepalese restaurant or any other buffet since then. But you can be sure that when I do, I will follow Dr. Stevens's advice to the letter. It's a reasonable recommendation for anyone, particularly those of us who have diabetes.

Free crown tipping can be useful when teeth do not erupt in their physiologic sequence and a real intraosseous migration and eruption of a single tooth into a distant ectopic position can be observed. This article presents a case of an ectopic mandibular lateral incisor treated early, with the light-force technique and uncontrolled forces, and finished with the bidimensional edgewise appliance. A Caucasian female patient, 10 years 10 months of age, had a mandibular left lateral incisor displacement, with the lateral incisor crown positioned mesial to left second primary molar. An early treatment was planned to correct the mandibular left lateral incisor displacement and to allow proper eruption of the mandibular left canine and first premolar. A second phase of treatment, in permanent dentition, was planned for the dental Class II subdivision on the right and deep bite correction. Phase 1 treatment was completed after 10 months; phase 2 treatment was initiated in the permanent dentition and lasted 18 months. Treatment achieved the following outcomes: (1) mandibular lateral incisor in corrected position; (2) full canine and molar Class I relationship; (3) overjet and overbite within the normal limits; (4) symmetric arches; and (5) a balanced profile. The radiograph evaluation revealed good root parallelism and mandibular left lateral incisor light root resorption. The light-force technique is not only a possible alternative but the ideal appliance for treatment in the mixed dentition, when the permanent teeth should be controlled.

I was a bit vague, but well, I implied that I doubt any other version will come out afterwards. It is definitely set in stone that it will be all ages, but with all the points shown above, I doubt a second version, ero, will be release due to the points I've mentioned above (while LB! was a bit obvious for EX).
As for EX sold copies, I think I should check some sites a bit more, but I'm fairly certain EX never got the first place, whereas LB! did before. As for retconning the script, I really don't know: depends how they are dealing with the "rights" regarding the scenario etc (even if Key would be the owner of the franchise as a whole, I don't think they do whatever they want without Ryukishi in that case but well). I guess we really need more information, but it seems Key isn't keen in doing so *sigh*

EX wasn't a completely new game it just had added scenarios. I think that is quite good to be 3rd to just have added bits.
Yeah I could imagine the rage of fans if they changed the voices XD that would be ultimate chaos. If they did do an ero version it would probably be a spin off >.> Some side character will likely be so popular. They seem to like those cash cows... |

Agreed. I got mine through shipping via JAA. Whilst I had 'Kud Wafter' on pre-order, I added other things to my order and had them temporarily store them at their warehouse until everything had arrived.
True, it does cost a bit more, but hey, it's not _too_ bad. |

I think he's asking if the VA for Haruka and Kanata from LB did the voice for Shizuru in Rewrite. Now that he mentioned it, I think they do sound kind of similar... I'd say it's a possibility but we gotta wait for official announcement xD

Well i am no expert in math but if
Sizuru = Haruka / Futaki with [Little busters!] then follows Futaka x Sizuru = Haruka which sounds like delicious yuri to me, although im not sure if yuri is part of [Little busters!]. I will work on this theorem later. |

Trinidad and Tobago will once again have a local as its Roman Catholic Archbishop when Vicar General, Father Joe Harris assumes the position in December, succeeding the current Archbishop, Edward Gilbert who will retire on December 26 at the age of 75. Today, Harris will move one step closer to this rank when he is ordained as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Port-of-Spain at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. A little over two months ago, the Vatican announced the appointment of the local priest by Pope Benedict XVI to Coadjutor Archbishop. During the time leading up to the ordination service today, Harris was promoted from Judicial Vicar to the Vicar General of the Archdiocese.

Admit it - many of you are just as guilty as Obama...
Don't pretend otherwise. I see it daily. I keep hearing it throughout the liberal blogs and message boards - go over the cliff! You want to go over the cliff. Many of you have been advocating and cheering for the U.S. to go over the cliff for months now. That's fine - but don't pretend to have empathy for millions of Americans when you're actively advocating for something that could dramatically hurt millions of Americans in the coming year.
You act as if Obama is throwing many of you under the bus. Whatever. You're pushing a plan that will literally throw millions of Americans under the bus - millions of Americans who are still struggling to make ends meet since the last major recession. That's justifiable? You find that perfectly justifiable but Obama negotiating on something that isn't even law yet - and probably will never become law - is somehow more damaging than telling a good portion of the country, especially middle and working class Americans, "oh well"? And it's not even about the taxes. It goes beyond just the taxes - we go over the fiscal cliff and the impact could trickle down to every aspect of our economy. Are you willing to get behind the idea of double-digit unemployment again? Will you have Obama's back if we go over the cliff and unemployment shoots up to above 10% - or are you all going to do what so many of you did in 2010 and '11 when unemployment was high ... use it to attack the President? If the economy plunges back into a recession, are you going to have any sympathy for those men and women who lose their jobs because of it? I don't think you will ... and don't pretend that you will. Let's face it - you're no better than Obama when it comes to making tough decisions. You're willing to sacrifice the economy for a no-deal ... something that could erase all the gains we've made the last three years ... and yet get your shorts in a bunch over the thought of Obama potentially compromising? Give me a fucking break. Stop the games. There is no desirable outcome here. A compromise will hurt - and so will going over the cliff. So, stop acting as if Obama is somehow betraying working class Americans, the elderly and others when you're doing the exact same thing by pushing for the U.S. to 'jump'.

... and you can lower the retirement age (great for job seekers) and increase the benefit.

56. You are right Scuba. We do not have to cut Social Security.
It is already inadequate. Social Security is insurance that we have paid for not the dole. It is not taken from the general funds it is separate and would be solvent for the foreseeable future if all income (including capital gains which should be treated the same as earned income) was subject to the tax, which would be fair.
Proposing to cut benefits for seniors, even by a small amount is criminal. If Obama follows through on his proposal and democrats in the senate don't block it becoming law Obama will become the "Death Panel" he has been accused of by the right. It will be his legacy. |

5. Give it a rest
you apologists are as pathological as the repukes. The cuts coming to the only social programs left in the US are going to be far worse, and for far longer, than the default deal, which would impact the hyper-rich far more than it would the workers and retirees. We have once again been lied to and sold out by this weakest president in history. He's also guaranteed that the party will be slaughtered in the med-terms. I was so stupid I actually thought the extension of the Bush tax cuts in 2010 were an anomaly - that he would eventually come to his senses and act like a Dem at some point (in governance, not campaigning). No such luck. Our only hope now is that a few real Dems like Sanders and Grayson can stop the worst from happening.

63. This isn't just to make a point
Look, I make 20K/yr. Any tax increase would hurt. The fact of the matter is though, it won't stay that way. It gets us out from under the stupid fucking republicons blatent obstructionism to favor the wealthy. It allows the negotiations to go forward with far less leverage for the right to hold hostage *for the benefit of the American people* aka the wealthy. A deal will be made to restore the tax structure for those under 250K nearly immediately. Both the house and the senate democrats already have bills waiting. The republicons can't afford the political backlash they will get if they don't concede.
I don't like the prospect of paying higher taxes any more than anyone else does, but a tax deal will be made to at least bring the taxes back to where they are now for the majority of us... maybe even lower. The sequester cuts in defense are very much affordable by the defense budget and need not be touched. The cuts in Medicare and Medicaid are to providers, not benefit reductions to those using the programs. Let them happen. We need to bring down the COST of benefits, not the benefits themselves. |

8. So, the big Medicare cuts in the fiscal cliff--those are going to hurt the super rich?
Tax increases on the working poor--including expiration of the EITC expansion--that's going to stick it to the rich?
Sending the economy into recession--the rich are going to be the ones losing their jobs? The expiration of long-term unemployment benefits is going to stick it to the rich? No, the problem with purists such as yourself--as always--is that you refuse to even look outside of the windows in the lovely towers you've built for yourselves in Fantasyland, your eternal home. |

10. I admit to saying go off the cliff...
Because I feel it changes the debate. I don't believe we'd be without a deal for long, and I think it would free some Republicans up to vote for extending some tax cuts without feeling like they were breaking Grover Norquist's pledge.
I am not saying raise taxes on everyone, and frankly everything I've heard is that things would not crash immediately. People advocating this think letting the deadline pass gives us a chance to reset the debate. They're not saying let the economy crash, I don't give a f**k. And I haven't heard them advocating policies that knowingly harm the most vulnerable among us. |

This is a no-win situation. Someone is going to get kicked in the balls here. Do you think everything will magically improve if we go over the cliff? Are you that naive to think everything will just be hunky dory if we do nothing? Why is it you're so upset about these proposed cuts that probably will never happen and yet so willing to embrace the fiscal cliff - that'll fuck over just as many, if not more, Americans?

24. From what I've read
If we did go off the cliff, yes the automatic cuts would go into affect. But, a budget could still be passed to reverse the cuts. Also we have some wiggle room for the debt ceiling possibly a few weeks into Jan.
I can't speak for everyone here who is saying "go off the cliff", but I think the general sentiment is the Republicans won't negotiate in good faith (I mean can we really trust them?) and they are either going to push everything to the very last moment or walk away thinking they control the situation. Obama has given in on some things (as we can tell from the loud chorus of boo's on DU) and is telling the Republicans to take it or leave it. We won the election (with the exception of the House) and they should concede (unfortunately they are too conceited). Obama is trying to get the best deal he can for the 98%. If you think otherwise, maybe you've lost faith in him already. |

41. As long as the Republicans really believe in the fiscal cliff (it doesn't exist except in Republican
fantasy-land), people will be hurt. The unemployed of today will be the employed tomorrow.
But if the chained CPI is enacted, it will be the beginning of the end for Social Security. This is not a matter of choosing whether to sacrifice or not. This is a matter of whether to give in once again to the Republican bullies and their scary fantasies. I oppose further feeding the Republicans' hunger for power and their ruthless use of lies to harm poor people. The best thing we can do is go off the fiscal cliff and show their lies for what they are -- lies. The fiscal cliff was just a Republican campaign ploy. It is a fiction. A jobless economy. That is the real problem. And the Republicans have no plan, no clue as to how to create jobs. The Republicans have put themselves and the entire country into a bad position. Our best bet is to call their bluff and just go off the fiscal cliff. There will not be as much suffering as the Republicans and some DUers think, and the suffering that occurs can be dealt with. But if you mess with Social Security or Medicare, you can forget about programs like unemployment benefits extensions or Medicaid. Because once you weaken Social Security, you have destroyed the confidence of Americans in the honesty of their government. That is what the Republicans want. Their goal, their purpose is to destroy our government, weaken it until it is useless. So, I disagree with the OP. I strongly disagree with the OP. It is falling into precisely the hysteria that the Republicans have tried to create in the country. |

If they can't do that they are useless. Polls show the public will hold the Republican politicians accountable if no deal is reached. There is no reason for Obama to give them anything. The House is responsible for sending the President something he can sign, unless they can get 2/3 to override a veto. Obama has all the leverage and all the power here, and he is still trying to cut social security and veterans benefits. He is a traitor to American working families.

40. The fiscal cliff was a Republican campaign ploy. They were trying to scare Americans into voting
for them. Now they are stuck with that fiscal cliff. If they do nothing about it, the economy will improve on its own, demand for government social program funding will decrease in proportion to the increased tax revenues that come with fuller employment, and the Republicans will be made to look like fools.
If we go off the cliff, and it looks like we will, then there will be sizable military cuts that the Republicans do not want. It is very, very unfortunate that Obama offered the chained CPI for Social Security. To save face, the Republicans may accept that, and then Obama is in trouble with his own voters and maybe even with some of his supporters in Congress. Social Security is the last bastion of fiscal fairness in the country. It is owed to those of us who are receiving it now just as the money that we place in our bank accounts is owed to us. I really don't care what the overpaid and very conservative Supreme Court thinks about it, the general consensus in America is, as shown in poll after poll, that Social Security is perhaps the most popular and important program in America. The vast majority of Americans agree with me that Social Security is a guaranteed program that benefits us all, and that its benefits scheme should not be redesigned in any way. We have precious few social welfare programs. A college education, a graduate degree, they cost small fortunes. Doctors, for example, either have rich parents or pay off their student for years and years. Teachers pay far more for their educations than their modest pay would justify. We pay more per person for our health care than any other developed country. That's because it is privatized and for profit. We have food stamps. Big deal. The extremely poor don't starve thanks to the program. We have school lunches -- if you qualify. We have "welfare" -- that requires people to move into jobs very quickly and for which qualified recipients must be absolutely indigent. We have a very limited system of unemployment benefits. Medicaid is basically mercy aid just to prevent a disgraceful number of deaths among the poor. That's not much if you think about the programs in other Western countries. Public education, K-12, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI. They are absolutely the minimum. They are the adhesive that hold us together. If they did not exist, I don't think that people would support much else in this country. What would be the sense? It would really become each for himself, and I don't think that the greedy, cheapskate rich would like that much in the end. They are as defenseless, maybe more. |

57. Going over the cliff isn't as permanent as you seem to fear.
(1) Increased taxes don't hit all at once, but over the year. This means that legislation can be passed to fix problems faced by the middle class and poor that are not linked with wealth tax cuts.
(2) Cuts to programs also do no happen instantly, and they can be fixed. (3) Programs like food stamps and unemployment are among the ones that will be hit on day one, but Republicans don't seem itching to fix these. (4) Cuts to Social Security and Medicare negotiated away to pay for tax cuts for some of the wealthy are a real disaster that takes money from the most vulnerable and gives it as welfare to people make more than $250,000.00 a year. Giving wealthy to the effluent of the affluent is a monstrous failure in civics. If Republicans won't deal without hurting the poor, veterans, unemployed, and middle class so their wealthy donor base doesn't have to give up a few tins caviar that is a monstrous failure of civics. The problems with taxes and programs can be fixed within the first hundred days. If they won't act responsibly now, lets see what the next Congress will do?

61. I'll give you one more: Unemployment Benefits expire in 9 days
If we go over the cliff yes tax cuts for the rich will expire but the GOP will then be on a mission to go after Obama even harder than before for their benefactors.
That means forget any of the following ever being allowed on the floor or passed: -Middle Class Tax Cuts -Unemployment Benefit Extensions -Debt Ceiling Raises Of all of those the UE Benefits are the ones that will cripple the economy the hardest. Those people often have no other income and will be facing serious hardships... losing their cars, losing their homes, inability to pay their electric/heat bills, difficulties putting food on their tables. A lot of people responded to my post about compromise with a NAIVE "they'll negotiate UE separately" remark or the typical cold, "Oh well"... It's like some of the people here who are quite comfortable in their situations look down on the poor the same way Mitt Romney does. BTW for all that, 'UE won't be affected because they'll negotiate it separately' bullshit, we should look at the recent proposals by Obama and you can see these two issues are tied together. The worst part is it's the holiday season and there's a serious lack of empathy amongst some of the so-called liberals/progressives/Democrats on this board.

75. I maintain the prediction I made on my show a few weeks back...
The plan all along was to stall until Jan 2nd. When the Fiscal Cliff takes effect, Republicans can then vote to give the middle class a tax cut back to the rates they were before the cut. They will in effect not be voting for any tax increases, but the net effect will be the wealthy get their taxes raised, the middle class gets to keep things as is, and Republicans can claim they did not violate their pledge not to raise taxes. |

The smartphone in question is the LG Viper, which will officially become Sprint's first 4G LTE device. Sprint announced on Tuesday that pre-orders for the handset will officially begin Thursday, April 12, with the phone becoming available on an unspecified date later this month.
LG's Viper 4G LTE LS840 features a 4.0-inch capacitive multitouch display with 480 x 800 resolution and ~233 ppi pixel density, a 1.2GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and runs the Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. The device also sports a Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip for mobile payments and device-to-device data transfers, a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and geotagging (unsure whether it supports 720p or 1080p video capture), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n for continuous connectivity and a 4G LTE talk time of 7 hours with a single charge (Lithium-Ion 1700mAh battery).

The smartphone will be priced at $99.99 after rebate and with a new 2-year agreement and should be able to take advantage of Sprint's Everything data plan. The unlimited plan includes unlimited web, texting, and calling over the company's fourth-gen LTE network starting at $79.99 per month.

LG Viper LTE is Sprint's first 4G LTE smartphone
Launching later this April
While every other mobile hardware journalist around the world is ranting on and on about HTC's new EVO 4G LTE smartphone that will operate on Sprint's new Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network, we decided to pay homage instead to the first device that will actually see the light of day on said network, with consumer availability beginning sometime later this April. After all, the EVO 4G LTE won't be available until sometime towards the end of Q2 2012.

IMDb lists a number of release dates. Of course, Holland is the very last country on the list :-(

Hi Harald, I did not know you were in Bosnia before. I really like your writing about the ME. I am working on the subject Srebrenica from a juridical point of view and I always had the feeling that journalisme failed there. If you 'd like to read, there is a link below. http://www.vandiepen.com/nl/srebrenicasummon.html
- Harald Doornbos said...
@ Simon,
fully agree. But it was extremely difficult for journalists to properly operate before and during the fall of Srebrenica.
1. Srebrenica was an enclave in RS (Republika Srpska) territory.
2. In order to visit Srebrenica you basically had to, illegally, sneak into the RS and try to pass a frontline in order to be able to get into the enclave. Basically suicide.
3. RS authorities were extremely hostile towards visiting journalists - esp. from NATO countries. Took ages to get a visa.
4. At every RS checkpoint on your way from Zvornik to Pale (you could only enter RS via Serbia) they would write down your departure. If you didn't make it to the next checkpoint 'on time' you would get arrested. Thus, making it very, very difficult to just roam around in the Eastern part of RS. On the Bosnian side you could just do that - roam around freely.
5. The only thing journalits could do during the fall of Srebrenica was writing down the stories from the refugees who arrived in Tuzla. I remember only one western journalist was in RS druing fall srebrenica.
6. A couple of mounths before the fall of Srebrenica I applied to the Dutch army in Zagreb for an 'embed' with Dutch troops in Srebrenica. This was denied by the army because "The Serbs might make problems about a visiting journalist". Luckily commander Karremans told me over the phone from Srebrenica: "Well, there are some problems here, but - as you certainly know - the bigger the problems for the Dutch army, the bigger the challenge."
7. You dont wanna know where I was during the fall of Srebrenica???!!! Well, on a holiday in Sydney, Australia. I still think that I should be granted the Journalism award for "Worst holiday timing ever"
I'll check your site now. - 7:34 PM
#7 is hilarious, # 6 would be too, if the retrospective were not so tragical. As you might have read in the 'dagvaarding' via the link, even now journalism in the Netherlands is still failing. Only repeating what Voorhoeve says i.e. those soldiers did what they could under difficult circumstances, Netherlands is not to blame.

Rain and falling leaves
Day 49. Vermont The first stop today was Fort Adams - not that was saw a great deal of the fort. It was bucketing down, windy and so cold, the walk to the visitors centre was enough to send us back to the warmth of our car. A drive around the foreshore and the mansions, or should I say mini castles - about 50 of them - Newport is money, money, money. We then headed through Rhode Island, Connetticut, and Massachusetts to South Deerfield - a very small town north of ...

... of beauty for the past 87 summers. Our week here is going by very quickly, and we'll be back oh the road soon heading to our next stop. We had some beautiful weather, sunny and warm, cool at night. However, we had a couple of ear piercing thunderstorms over the weekend. I'm sooooo glad we aren't tent camping! We enjoyed that when our kids we little and we were a whole lot younger! I'll stick to my Bounder and take life as it comes.
Bye ye for now and stay well.
Oh the humidity!!!
... is very cheap as he is determined not to have the air conditioner on in the car as he said it cost 10% more in fuel. Oh my god I think I am going to strangle him, hahaha.
Made it to Charlemont without any deaths so I guess we will continue onto Copperstown. I thought the humidity would get better going into the mountains but oh no it is just making us drenched.
Again sorry no pictures.

Today's treble is a massive 23/1 so get on board and keep those fingers crossed!
2pm - England vs Wales
England need to deliver a result today to put our minds at rest and reassure us that we are in fact going to win the Euro's. In our way lies a certain Gareth Bale. Unfortunately we have enough doubt to believe this one could end in a draw and at 41/13, that's our first pick.
Get 16-1 on Wales beating England with PADDY POWER
5pm - Ukraine vs N.Ireland
Up second we've got the Northern Irish to cheer on as they face Ukraine in Group C. Both sides lost-to-nil in their opening games and we're hoping this goal drought continues. Our second pick? Under 2.5 goals at 5/8.
8pm - Germany vs Poland
The evening kick off sees the remaining teams in Group C go head to head. Despite winning, Germany and Poland didn't fulfil their potential in matchday one. Fingers crossed Germany edge a close game as our last pick for the day is Germany to win by one.
£10 on today's Daily Treble returns a massive £247.20.

Fly Swap #1 - Doc Duprey
This is my version of Jack Gartside's famous "Gartside Gurgler". It's my "go to" fly when the fish are feeding close to the surface. It makes a bit less commotion than a popper, and works well when the fish force bait (sand eels, bunker, silversides) to the top. Tie it in any color you want...Jack does!
Hook: Tiemco 800S 1/0 (or similar) ThreadL White Uni Big Fly 3/0 Tail: bucktail, tied sparse, with a few strands of flashabou (tied with the long end hanging over the hook eye) Underbody: Orvis (or similar) foam (make sure it floats!) tied along shank of hook, and pulled around shank with thread, left long over bend of hook. I cut the foam to be about 1 hook gape wide, and this seems to work well. Hackle:strung hackle, folded, tied in by tip and palmer wrapped to eye using as much of the soft, fuzzy part as possible. Shellback: long end of foam (left from tying underbody) pulled up to eye and left long. Stripe: flashabou (left from tying in tail), pulled over shellback and tied in Lip: trim excess foam to about 1/2 to 3/4 of hook gape and leave down over eye. Fish with gentle stripsor a continuous retrieve and HOLD ON! Best regards, -Doc
