Nearly 300 spectators cheered wildly as disco music blared. A spotlight picked out two fighters approaching the ring to kick off a puroresu (prowrestling) event held recently in a Tokyo town hall.
Then a female MC announced, in a startlingly high-pitched voice: "In the blue corner, E.T.! In the red corner, Arm Bomb Fujiwara!"
Both wrestlers were physically handicapped and had to be helped or lifted into the ring. But when the starting bell rang, the men — both of them sitting and rolling around on the canvas — began punching each other with all the power and accuracy they could muster.
Blows landed thick and fast, and the crowd roared. Then Arm Bomb Fujiwara got his arm round E.T.'s neck and began to throttle him. As E.T.'s face reddened to puce and he started shaking, the referee called a halt to the bout and declared a win for Arm Bomb — who raised his fist high as the crowd laughed and shrieked.
That night, many of the dozen disabled wrestlers from the Doglegs group that staged the show in western Tokyo's Shimokitazawa district looked truly fired up and fearless. In melodramatic contrast, the few able-bodied participants were wimps, including one going by the name of "Mushikera Goro (Worthless Goro)" who, according to the program, was a hikikomori (long-term stay-at-home recluse) with a big-time Oedipus complex. He lost out to 41-year-old "Anchi-teze" (Antithesis) Kitajima, the broad-shouldered nondisabled man who is also Doglegs' leader.
But why stage contests in which one or both participants are so clearly disadvantaged? What is it all about? That question only grew more troubling as one bout succeeded another.
Finally, in the climax to the evening's entertainment, a short man in a wheelchair who went by the name of "L'Amant" (French for "lover" or "sweetheart") appeared, wearing his favorite costume of a girl's sailor outfit. Facing him after he was lifted out of his chair and put in the ring was his own nondisabled, 8-year-old son, named "Petit L'Amant."
The announcer declared: "L'Amant wants no sympathy, he would rather hope to show his gachinko [ferocious] spirit!"
The son, his hands and feet bound with ropes, rolled around, kicking his father in the stomach. The father also kicked his son's head as much as he could. The wife and mother at the ringside cheered and hollered — for her son — shouting, "Watch out! Run! Oh, don't cry!" The latter in particular made the audience erupt in laughter.
But as the bout dragged on, the spectators became more subdued as, it seemed, their excitement wore off and silences descended.
The boy's exasperated panting only got louder until, after three rounds of three minutes each, the final bell rang and the referee declared the father the winner. L'Amant, asked to comment, feebly said "thank you" to Petit L'Amant who, through his sobbing, could only manage a nod.
So, that was that — but still those troubling questions remained unanswered.
In addition, what prompts hundreds of people to pay 3,500 yen each to watch a roped schoolboy trying to beat up his disabled, cross-dressing father — in front of strangers? And why would disabled wrestlers engage in acts that could possibly add to their physical woes, even though the event's rules ban attacks to contestants' disabled areas.
"That's our intention — to make people think," said Doglegs' leader and cofounder Kitajima — real name, Yukinori Kitajima — who makes a living not from running Doglegs but from writing fiction and computer-game scenarios.
Speaking after the two-hour event had ended, the father of two young girls said that over the past 15 years the group has performed around 70 times all over Japan, and once in South Korea. Then he explained: "We don't want to show something for people to simply laugh at and walk away. You might get a laugh out of our matches at times, but we also want people to wonder what this all means. We want to give people a nasty aftertaste."
He added that none of the "pro" wrestlers are paid, and all the ticket revenue is plowed back into staging the events.
Rather than leaving with a nasty aftertaste, though, one American member of the audience — who asked to be identified only as Tom — said he found the wrestlers "inspiring."
"I just find it very inspiring for people to be able to go beyond their limits and take up the challenge," said the 45-year-old man, who was attending his third event. "Sometimes it's almost shocking, sometimes tragic, but then when you see the fighters victorious, it's very moving."
First-time spectator Kotoko Kodama, a consultant at a life insurance company, also appeared to have missed out on any nasty aftertaste, instead saying that Doglegs offered a chance to see disabled people from a fresh angle.
"I've seen documentaries of handicapped people striving to eke out a living as best they can, but I realize there are diverse ways of expressing yourself," Kodama said. "We tend to brand handicapped people with certain stereotypes. I now realize how arrogant that is."
To hear what the fighters themselves had to say, I visited the group recently at a Setagaya Ward community hall in a posh residential neighborhood, where members meet once a week to practice, or just chat with each other over cans of beer.
Shintaro Yano, a k a "Sambo Shintaro," who is Kitajima's longtime friend and cofounder of Doglegs, greeted me with a big smile. The friendly man who was afflicted with cerebral palsy when he was 10 months old and has speech problems, said while fiddling with rubber bands, that the idea of wrestling came when he got into a fight with another disabled man over who got to date a young female volunteer.
"I want to show off myself to people," he said, "and I've liked watching puroresu ever since I was in elementary school." Then he hunched over and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I have a goal — I want to fight Kitajima-san someday, but it's not easy to fight him because I can only be pitted against someone who matches my strength."
When I asked him about the rubber bands, he looked embarrassed and acknowledged that it was his nervous habit, but quickly added that he had many other hobbies too. "I'm a big train freak," he said — at which Kitajima cut in and said that Shintaro buys the latest version of the JR train schedule every two months. "I like traveling," he said. "I've been to Ehime [in Shikoku], where I'm from, three times in the last two years."
L'Amant, whose real name is Koji Oga, was also there, sipping cheap sake through a straw while his wife, Mizuho, and their Petit L'Amant stayed close. "Wrestling to me is a form of self-expression," he said, his face red from drinking. "Let's leave it at that."
OK, so no one is forcing them to wrestle — but that doesn't mean that Doglegs are without their critics.
Yoshihiko Kumashino, who is himself wheelchair bound, said after watching the event that Doglegs appeared to be a "haphazard mix" of entertainment and serious wrestling.
"How am I supposed to feel after seeing a father fighting his kid — in a sailor's outfit?" Kumashino asked. "I couldn't laugh, and I couldn't sympathize either."
But for Doglegs' cofounder Kitajima — himself a former hikikomori who spent a year locked in his room as a teen — laughter or sympathy seemed far from what he sought through the events.
He started Doglegs after smelling hypocrisy in what he calls the "volunteer industry." After quizzing many other able-bodied volunteers who joined support groups for the disabled about their motives, he said many were there out of their own need to fill a void.
"Those groups are closed and protective, and it was comfortable for people like me who felt weak back then," Kitajima said. "I think volunteering itself is good, and I'm not criticizing someone who tries to help someone else. But I don't want people to forget that they are dealing with human beings, not educational materials.
"Many volunteers I saw 15 years ago were doing it because they had no other places to go, and they were less interested in interacting with disabled people than they were among themselves. . . . We started Doglegs because we wanted to send a message beyond our closed world."
Part of that message, Kitajima explained, was also to show disabled fellow citizens as they really are — sometimes with their idiosyncrasies and character flaws — instead of glorifying them as he said that the media often do.
"For a child to grow up with a disabled, alcoholic, cross-dressing father . . . it's not a beautiful story," said Kitajima, who recounts his own troubled childhood in his 1997 book "Muteki no Handicap (Unbeatable Handicap)." There, he describes how he became a recluse due to being disillusioned with his mother, who relieved the stress of caring for his terminally ill father by splurging on host clubs. "Life's complexities ooze out in the wrestling matches. It's not just the sadness of losing that the boy [Petit L'Amant] cried for."
But Kitajima is clearly aware that Doglegs is not exactly everyone's cup of tea. He does, however, welcome criticism, saying that it is precisely the stifling of criticism that he is fighting.
"I want the reality surrounding disabled people to be known," he said.
"While the wrestlers all have different feelings, they are here because they have something they are dying to express."

How Are The Master Agility Rankings Calculated?
The Top 20 GSDs and their handlers are invited to participate in the annual competition at the GSDCA National Specialty. The total MACH points for Standard and Jumpers with Weaves runs are calculated in the Regular Classes and as a bonus each team receives 10 extra points for each QQ (double qualifying run) during the time frame.
Each Top 20 participant receives a rosette for competing and the top 4 Placements will also receive corresponding 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place recognition ribbons (tabs). During the event, each participant will run 2 courses designed and judged by the AKC judge of record assigned to the trial. The courses will be a modified standard run with no table and a Jumpers with Weaves run. Standard course time will be determined and the AKC International Sweepstakes Class (ISC) rules will apply.
The 2016 Top 20 Event will also include a Top 10 Preferred competition that will be scored separately from the Top 20 Regular Class and using the same scoring and award criteria.

Agility is a sport that appeals to all dog lovers - from young people to senior citizens. Fun for participants and spectators alike, the sport has been receiving increasing exposure in the media, adding to its popularity. Agility is designed to demonstrate a dog's willingness to work with its handler in a variety of situations.
Agility is an athletic event that requires conditioning, concentration, training and teamwork. Dog and handlers negotiate an obstacle course racing against the clock. It is a rapidly growing canine sport where dogs must correctly and rapidly perform a series of obstacles under the guidance of their handlers.
A dog needs to be healthy and reasonably fit to participate safely, but it's a game that purebred or mixed breed dogs of all sizes and shapes can play.

Smile on A Stick - Jack O'Lantern
These are creepy. My Dad would like this to answer the door with. It's an easy way to dress up without going all out. Great to have on hand for those guests who "forgot" a costume, or for yourself who's kinda lazy, too. 2 come in a set!
There are 4 different packs with 4 faces each. This would be so much easier than carving pumpkins (you can put more than one face on it and turn it around...). The pumpkin wouldn't rot early like they do when you carve them, too.Added 6 Years Ago from Tradingphrases

Python Background:
This is where I throw up a photo of a jungle, with lots of trees, bushes and thick grasses, because that surely is where you will find a Python.
Those trees hide many of the small creatures that a python eats, thus forming a great environment for a Python.
But the python we are talking about here is not the big, fat snake that creates terror in those with a fear of snakes.
Would you believe that the name Python, given to the Computer Programming Language, is from the comedy team that those of who were lucky enough to watch their TV shows and movies were in stitches as we laughed through their antics. So perhaps the background of trees is not so far off being appropriate, since they could form the background for the Lumberjack song, one of the most memorable of Monty Python sketches.
But enough of that, let's get down to business.
What is needed to program in Python?
Python is an interpreted language, which means that the programs that you write (the code), has to be checked for correctness (syntax) before the compiler translates the code into the basic actions that the computer's processing unit can handle.
To help create the code and Integrated DeveLopment Environment is used. Most similar languages call this an IDE, but perhaps as recognition of one of the Monty Python team, Eric Idle, Python calls this an IDLE!
There are several sites that can help you walk through the installation of IDLE, so if the basic instructions here do not help, a Google (or other search engine) search will help find a more detailed set of instructions.

Five Reasons We Wish We Still Wore Size 6X
Most of the time, I love being an adult. I can decide when to go to bed (or not), eat an entire package of Sour Patch Kids at the movie theater before dinner, and wear skirts of questionable length. But, every now and then, I wish I were a kid again. Not for the lack of responsibilities or months-long summer vacations, but for the clothes. Today, Stella McCartney announced she's launching a collection for GapKids and babyGap later this year. If only I could shrink down a bit, I could sport Stella's designs for less than a gazillion dollars! Here's what else rocks about shopping in the kids department.
- Compared with what we pay for clothes, kids' stuff is cheap.
- Because kids are constantly growing, they basically get new clothes monthly.
- Kids can go overboard with sparkles and glitter and pink without looking like Paris Hilton.
- When you're little, you don't have to worry about what messages your clothes send to the world, which means you can wear your favorite shirt every single day. That is, if Mom allows it.
- Us adults only get to wear fancy dresses for special events, but kids can put on princess clothes every day after school.
- Someone else is in charge of getting out grass stains.

4 Tiered Wedding Cake With 2 Mini-Wedding Cakes
This was a fun wedding! The groom really wanted individual cakes for each guest. However, it was just too costly. He also really wanted a "sparkly" cake so I sprinkled as much edible glitter on top as possible, and the two mini-cakes were a surprise to him from the bride. All of the cakes were finished with IMBC and edged with navy blue fondant ribbon. The mini-cakes have buttercream flowers, and the main cake has fresh. Feel free to critique--I am CSM. TFL!!!

Don't be so cynical!! Do you really think things like stolen phones, unauthorized videos on YouTube, mysterious employee leaks, misplaced phones miraculously found in the Gold's Gym Juice Bar by internet bloggers are all related to hyping new products! Corporations would never stoop to such things!

Molar money: Tooth fairy payouts highest in Atlantic Canada
According to a new survey, the tooth fairy pays more for teeth in Atlantic Canada than the rest of the country. (CTV News)
Alexandra Bosanac, The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, August 21, 2014 7:31AM EDT
TORONTO -- If you're a kid in Atlantic Canada, here's a reason to smile. According to a new survey, the tooth fairy is paying a premium for baby teeth in the Maritimes and Newfoundland.
At $3.46 a tooth, it's 19 per cent higher than the national average of $2.80.
Even better, 35 per cent of respondents in Atlantic Canada said their children found $5 or more per tooth under their pillows in 2014.
Quebec children were the least likely to get a visit from the tooth fairy -- 13 per cent received no money for their lost teeth. For those who did, $2.06 was the average rate.
The findings are from a telephone survey of approximately 1,000 households with children under age 13 conducted for Visa Canada.
The company is promoting the launch of an online financial calculator that allows children and parents to compare their earnings with other children from similar households in Canada.
Ontario reported the second-highest going rate for baby teeth at $3.21 apiece.
"Generally, kids are doing really well," said Visa spokesperson Michelle Michalak.
If kids in Atlantic Canada and Ontario save the funds, by the time they lose all 20 baby teeth they will have stashed away $69 and $64 respectively.
"Every little bit adds up, so really it is an opportunity to talk to kids about managing their money," said Michalak.
The average in the Prairies was $2.43 per tooth, but 55 per cent could expect to receive up to $5. In British Columbia, children got an average of $2.47 per tooth.
The poll was conducted for Visa by GfK Canadian Omnibus Service and had a claimed margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

LEADING goalscorer Lewis Grabban has welcomed increased competition for places and knows boss Eddie Howe will take no prisoners with his selection.
Grabban has netted 12 times this season and been one of Cherries' star performers as Howe's men have started to establish themselves in the Championship.
His impressive form saw him go close to leaving the club last month after rivals Brighton had triggered a £1.1million release clause in his previous contract.
However, after having talks with the Seagulls, Grabban was persuaded to stay by Cherries and was rewarded with an improved three-and-a-half year deal.
Despite his exploits, Grabban is fully aware a drop in standards could cost him his place, with the arrival of Yann Kermorgant bolstering Howe's options.
Grabban told the Daily Echo: "Competition is always good and I would have been one of the first people to say I thought we definitely needed another striker.
"Yann brings something different to the table. He is a physical lad but also has the ability to slot in to the way we play.
"It is always better to have better players in the squad because it improves the team and his signing is a positive for the club.
"Nobody is assured of a place and I don't think it would ever be good to have that sort of guarantee.
"Players like to know they are playing but, if I don't do well for the team, there is no reason why someone else shouldn't come in.
"That goes for every player. Everybody knows they have to be on top of their game and I think the manager does well in that respect."
Grabban is one of a number of players in the current squad to have played previously in the Championship, having made 10 appearances for former club Crystal Palace.
He scored his first and only goal in the second flight for the Eagles in a 3-2 win at West Brom in March 2007 after being named Academy scholar of the year at Selhurst Park in 2006.
Asked how he had adapted second time round, Grabban, who joined Cherries in a £300,000 move from Rotherham, said: "I think I have done okay. You can always do better and I think I should have had a few more goals.
"But, as long as I am still progressing, I am quite happy. There is always room for improvement and, hopefully, I can keep chugging away.
"You have to be more clinical in this division, especially against the better teams because the defenders are good and you might not get as many chances. You have to take them when they come along.
"The ability is better and more football is played than in League One."
- Cherries have rearranged their Championship fixture at Charlton Athletic for Tuesday, March 18.

If, like many deafies, you've ever struggled to deal with your bank because they expect you to phone them to deal with a problem, or have faced unhelpful assistance in one of their branches, you'll welcome today's double-page story in today's Times by Laura Whateley, which claims that UK banks could face huge compensation payouts for failing their deaf customers. (there is now a full transcript on the Action on Hearing Loss website)
According to the paper's investigation, banks are "routinely discriminating against customers with hearing loss by failing to proivide equal access to services." The banks, Whateley says, have an attitude of "indifference to their [customers'] hearing loss" and too often still insist that "security measures are carried out by phone."
As well as these problems, the article says that deaf readers of The Times have reported "broken hearing aid loop systems, poorly trained and rude staff, a lack of understanding about how text phones work and an over-reliance on spoken answers to security questions."
Online messages deaf customers send are often not replied to, and deaf customers have been stranded abroad when their banks blocked their card, because they could not call the bank (as a hearing person would) to resolve the problem.
In one incident, Jill Hipson, a deaf customer of Barclays, was humilated when she tried to pay for a new car. Despite warning her bank that she was going to make a large transaction, the bank refused to process the payment unless she authorised it over the phone, and would not allow her husband (who was with her) to authorise it on her behalf. In the end the garage owner was forced to drive her to her nearest branch so that she could authorise it in person.
In a comment piece titled 'Hi-tech fix will work for both parties', solicitor Chris Fry points out that failing to implement reasonable adjustments "can result in payments of compensation of between £1500 and £30,000" under the equality act for "injury to feelings" and that Jill Hipson's case must have been "horrifically embarrassing." As a solution, he advocates using "joined up technology" to deal with these problems, such as "an "app" designed to facilitate secure transactions for people with hearing impairments."
Meanwhile, research from Action on Hearing Loss accompanying the story shows that half of deaf people are unhappy with the service they recieve from banks.

Law Enforcement Officials Tell Residents 'Don't Celebrate With Guns'
COLUMBUS, Ohio
Columbus police are warning residents not to fire guns into the air to welcome in the New Year.
Authorities said the practice is against the law and potentially deadly.
In 2008, Columbus police were called to three separate incidents where revelers fired guns into the air at the start of the New Year.
In 2009, a 6-year-old boy was killed in Florida when he was struck by a stray bullet just after midnight.
Police said if you are spotted firing weapons into the air, you will be charged and taken into custody.

Poormom, MCPayne, and Lisa -
Wow,you guys are so helpful! Now I just need to pick one between Boston Duck Tour and Old Town Trolley. Personally, I like the Trolley's flexibility of going off and on. It can also provide the transportation from Union Oyster House to USS Constitution. (Lisa - Thanks for pointing it out re: not easy to go between these two places.)
The fair for Old Town Trolley is $38 (or $34.20 if booked online) and it also includes admissions to Old State House and 45 minute harbor sightseeing cruise.
Question - So will you choose Old Town Trolley over Boston Duck Tour? By the way, the ship will be in Boston 10AM - 7PM.
If Old Town Trolley was selected, my plan would be as follow. (To see their rout, click
Boston Map
on this link
* Get off at Stop #1 & take 45-min harbor sightseeing cruise. I'm guessing the boat is near New England Aquarium. Not sure....
* Walk to Faneuil Hall and stay for 1 hour
* Walk to Union Oyster House (reserved for 12:30pm)
* Walk to Paul Revere House and Old North Church
* Hop on at Stop #2
* Hop off at Stop #3 to visit USS Constitution & Bunker Hill Monument
* Get off at Stop #5 to visit Old State House, Old Corner Book Store, Old South Meeting House.
* After Stop #6, we'll just see what the group wants to see.
Sorry to bore you guys with so much info. As you can guess, I am seeking validation and would welcome any 'criticism'.
Thanks a bunch!

Electoral College
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Report: Election 2000
- Dec. 15, 2000: Shields and Gigot look at the Bush transition.
- Dec. 15, 2000: A discussion on post-election America.
- Dec. 15, 2000: Claims of voting rights infringement.
- Dec. 14, 2000: Day One of the Bush transition.
- Dec. 14, 2000: House Speaker Hastert discusses prospects for bipartisanship.
- Dec. 14, 2000: Former Vice President Mondale reflects on the end of the election debate.
- Dec. 13, 2000: Shields and Gigot discuss a Bush presidency.
JIM LEHRER: Finally tonight, the Electoral College, and to Gwen Ifill.
GOV. JEB BUSH: As a Presidential elector, you have taken an oath that you will vote for the candidate of the party. The secretary of state's office will now distribute the ballots for voting for President and Vice President of the United States.
GWEN IFILL: Shortly after noon today, electors for the state of Florida cast their official votes for President. Confirming the result of more than a month of court battles, Texas Governor George W. Bush got all 25, enough to become the 43rd President of the United States. The President-elect's brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, presided over the vote.
GOV. JEB BUSH: Mr. McKay, will you please announce the votes?
MR. McKAY: There are 25 votes for George W. Bush for President of the United States, and 25 votes for Dick Cheney as Vice President of the United States. Mr. Governor.
GOV. JEB BUSH: Thank you very much. ( Applause )
GWEN IFILL: The party loyalists who make up the Electoral College gathered in Tallahassee, 49 other state capitals, and the District of Columbia today. Each elector cast one vote. When Americans cast votes for President on November 7, they were actually choosing electors. Some ballots mentioned the candidates by name; others stated, a vote for the candidate will actually be a vote for their electors. Election scholar Curtis Gans explains.
CURTIS GANS: You are voting for the candidate, but you are also voting for a number of electors who are pledged to the candidate, who were selected before the election by each party and approved by each candidate. These are the people who actually elect the President.
GWEN IFILL: The Constitution provides for electors to be apportioned across based on a state's congressional representation. 100 of them represent two from each state, as with U.S. Senators, then there's one elector for every member a state sends to the House of Representatives– 435 in all. Washington, D.C.– which is not a state– chooses three electors. To gain the White House, a candidate must win the popular vote in enough states to collect a majority, or 270 electoral votes.
SPOKESPERSON: The Honorable George W. Bush. ( Applause )
GWEN IFILL: When Bush finally declared victory on December 13, he was able to claim 271 electoral votes– just one more than the minimum needed. On January 6, a joint session of the new Congress will meet, and the President of the Senate– in this case, Vice President Al Gore– will oversee the final count.
GWEN IFILL: So, what is the future of the Electoral College? Democratic congressman Bill Delahunt of Massachusetts thinks it should be abolished, and republican Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado thinks it still works. Congressman Delahunt, why should it be abolished?
REP. BILL DELAHUNT: Well, Gwen, I believe it's an anachronism, and clearly it does not embrace that very fundamental American value of one person, one vote. The reality is in America today that in a Presidential election, the… each citizen's vote does not count. The vote of an elector does count. And I think it's time that we changed that system.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Allard, that sounds like a very powerful argument, the notion that every vote should count. Why should the Electoral College stay as it is?
SEN. WAYNE ALLARD: Well, the Electoral College is a reflection of great compromise of our forefathers when they created the Senate and they created the House of Representatives. And this has served us very well for close to two centuries. And I think we ought to continue.
It certainly helps out those states that have a lower population. If we had a popular vote driving the election, our candidates would just be campaigning in large urban areas and would ignore most of the country.
GWEN IFILL: Well, you mention that the forefathers were the ones that came up with this idea in the Constitution. Is it outdated?
SEN. WAYNE ALLARD: No, I don't believe it's outdated at all. I think the Constitution was there and has served us well in times of crisis and times of conflict. It served us well during this election, and we should respect the Constitution.
GWEN IFILL: Congressman Delahunt, in order to change the Electoral College now, or to abolish it as you would like to see happen, you basically would have to amend the Constitution. Once you start tinkering with the Constitution, isn't there a danger you'd do more harm than good?
REP. BILL DELAHUNT: Well, that danger always exists, Gwen, but I think it's important to note that we've amended the Constitution to encourage and expand the suffrage, the right to vote. We did it with the 15th Amendment to the Constitution where finally slaves– now black Americans– have a right to vote. And with the 19th Amendment, we conferred the franchise on women.
And with the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, we eliminated the so-called poll tax, which, in fact, disenfranchised poor Americans. So this is nothing… what I would submit is that to amend the Constitution in this particular case, to abolish the Electoral Council, would, in effect, be the final step in the process of making the government of the United States more democratic.
GWEN IFILL: Congressman, let's continue on that point and talk about political reality for a moment. Congress tried to do this in 1969. It passed the House but died in the Senate. They tried to do it again in 1979. This time it didn't get the votes it needed in the Senate. Why has that changed? Why is this the time?
REP. BILL DELAHUNT: Well, I would suggest it's the time because we have an example in this particular election where, on January 20, Governor Bush, President-elect Bush will be sworn in as the next President of the United States and yet we will have the then-former Vice President of the United States who was a candidate having won the popular vote by more than 300,000.
And I think that sets up an example of why we…why we should at least prospectively consider the tension that exists in terms of the mandate given a President when he fails… when he or she fails to secure a plurality or a majority of… or a plurality, rather, of the popular vote.
GWEN IFILL: Senator, do you see that point, that perhaps people are now questioning the veracity of this election because the popular vote was so different from the Electoral College vote? Does that raise a problem or a red flag in any way for you?
SEN. WAYNE ALLARD: Well, this is not anything new in history. We knew what the rules were going into the election. I think what's the important thing is we stuck with those rules throughout the election.
The example that was just pointed out about the attempt to amend the Constitution passed the House but a majority of it failed in the Senate is — just reinforces my point that the House was made up to represent the more populated areas. The Senate represents the more rural and less populated states. And as a practical point, I don't see the Senators from the smaller states as far as population is concerned voting to decrease their influence.
And when it goes to the state legislatures, which requires three-quarters of the state legislatures to amend the Constitution, I don't see that number of states that are small states wanting to vote to decrease their influence in a national election. This is a… this is a system that has served us well. We should continue with it. Every individual will continue to have his right to vote. What we do is we localize the election so it's ran in each state specifically.
I would hate to think of a national election board, or I'd hate to think where we have this ran through a national bureaucracy. It's a manageable situation. It was managed in the state of Florida. And we go to a nationwide recount, for example, I don't see us coming to any real ready conclusion. If we can localize it to each state, then each state has its rules and it's a more manageable problem when you run into situations like we had in this election.
GWEN IFILL: Congressman Delahunt, Senator Allard makes an interesting point, which if it were a national popular vote as close as this one and we were conducting 50 recounts, the same thing we just went through in Florida, wouldn't that be even more chaotic?
REP. BILL DELAHUNT: Well, Gwen, I'm not suggesting in any way to change the rules. I'm not saying that there should be a national bureaucracy. Nobody is proposing that particular concept. Obviously, recounts would be called in those states where the parties felt that there was a particular issue. And the argument that only… in these… in those cases where you have… where you have electors that are faithless– and that obviously has not occurred that frequently in our history– you might very well have an outcome that is unacceptable to the people.
GWEN IFILL: What about the smaller states as Senator Allard was saying? Is the system as it now stands biased towards them, where if you abolish the Electoral College, would that be a bias against them?
REP. BILL DELAHUNT: I don't think it would be a biased against them. I honestly believe that, you know, today in the modern era, campaigns are focused on demographics, on constituencies. Issues are national in nature. We don't have the kind of tensions between the states that we had in the beginnings of the republic. I mean, today we talk about issues that impact the elderly, for example, whether they live in Massachusetts or whether they live in Colorado.
We have terms like "soccer moms." Now, soccer moms, I'm sure reside in Denver as well as in Boston, Massachusetts. So that today we have the advantage of instant communication. We live in a different world, and it's time that this particular anachronism in terms of our electoral system be eliminated and abolished.
GWEN IFILL: Senator, the idea of a direct vote sounds so appealing to so many people. If they're voting direct for dog catchers and for mayors and for governors, why not for the President of the United States?
SEN. WAYNE ALLARD: Well, the comment that I would make again is that you're dealing with a smaller electorate when you run for dog catcher or when you're running for the state legislature or even governor in the state. Certainly our modern technology has given us plenty of opportunities as far as giving everybody an opportunity to vote. But it's not infallible. And we saw that in this election. And I would just continue to make the point again that we'd be much better served to leave the state legislatures in control to make the rules.
I predict that the Congress will be more than willing to provide money for upgrading the election systems in this election, which was a big part of the problem. I think state legislators will be willing to vote for that type of expenditure.
I think that when county clerks and recorders go to their county commissioners and ask them for more money to upgrade their departments, I predict that they're very likely to have an affirmative answer in light of what happened in this election.
GWEN IFILL: Senator Allard and Congressman Delahunt, thank you both very much.

Are You There God? It's Me, Carrie by Lisa Melinn and Dyan Bailey
A coming of age story like no other, this hilarious parody mashes-up the Judy Blume classic with the wayward, telekinetic Carrie White. And it's a musical. With '70s pop hits sprinkled throughout. High school will never be the same again!
November 14-December 8, 2014
Stupid Fucking Bird by Aaron Posner
In this irreverent, contemporary, and wickedly funny "sort of adaptation" of Chekhov's The Seagull, award-winning playwright Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all.
An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother's generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be.
Stupid Fucking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.

The SantaLand Diaries & Season's Greetings by David Sedaris, adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello
The delightful anti-holiday treat makes its annual return to the Ringwald stage for another round of twisted holiday fun!
January 9-February 2, 2015
The Boys in the Band by Mart Crowley
For real, this time. Announced last season, but a victim of rescheduling, Mart Crowley's seminal, groundbreaking play will make its Ringwald debut in January.
In his upper eastside Manhattan apartment, Michael is throwing a birthday party for Harold, a self-avowed "32 year-old, pock-marked, Jew fairy", complete with surprise gift: Cowboy, a street hustler. As the evening wears on, fueled by drugs and alcohol, bitter, unresolved resentments among the guests come to light when a game of "Truth" goes terribly wrong.
February 20-March 16, 2015
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
Winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, David Mamet's scalding comedy is about small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers in a never-ending scramble for their fair share of the American dream. Here is Mamet at his very best, writing with brutal power about the tough life of tough characters who cajole, connive, wheedle, and wheel and deal for a piece of the action -- where closing a sale can mean a brand new Cadillac but losing one can mean losing it all.
April 10-May 4, 2015
Tender Napalm by Philip Ridley
From the author of Mercury Fur, comes Tender Napalm, a high-impact, high-concept exploration of the relationship between two people and the violent world that surrounds them...and the place where these things meet. Explosive, poetic and brutal, the play weaves a compelling tapestry to re-examine and re-define the language of love...and how that love struggles to survive in the face of catastrophe. Seldom has sexual love been explored on stage with such ferocious honesty, brutality and melting tenderness. Language is both a consolation and a weapon used to penetrate and castrate.
May 15-June 8, 2015
10 Naked Men by Ronnie Larsen
The team that brought you Making Porn is back with another Ronnie Larsen jam. Robert, a slightly overweight actor, moves to Hollywood seeking his fame and fortune. When he arrives he encounters all sorts of Hollywood types: hustlers, agents, directors, and a rough ex-con! Larsen's play is hilarious and sweet-and fulfills the promise of its title! Warning: contains nudity. Duh.

Aussie market falls for third consecutive day1:25
After a slightly stronger start, the Australian share market wasn't able to hold onto the gains.
THE Australian market has finished lower in line with overseas leads, as investors locked in profits on the busiest trading day of the year.
At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was 27.1 points, or 0.57 per cent lower at 4690.2, while the broader All Ordinaries index was down 25.8 points, or 0.54 per cent, at 4712.3.
On the ASX 24, the March share price index futures contract was 29 points lower at 4663, with 24,336 contracts traded.
CommSec market analyst Steve Daghlian said the Australian market defied negative overseas leads in early morning trade before gains were reversed in the afternoon.
"It could have gone either way, but as the day progressed the market went from being slightly higher to around half a per cent lower and there didn't appear to be one particular driver,'' Mr Daghlian said.
"At the end of the day we're doing a bit of profit taking.''
The local market is still sitting at its highest levels in about 18 months after overall gains of more than 1 per cent since the beginning of the year.
However, Mr Daghlian said the US debt ceiling and coming spending cuts would continue to weigh on global markets.
In the US, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 50.92 points, or 0.38 per cent, to 13,384.29.
In Europe, London's FTSE 100 index of leading companies lost 0.41 per cent to 6,064.58 points, Frankfurt's DAX 30 dropped 0.56 per cent to 7732.66 points, and in Paris the CAC 40 fell 0.68 per cent to 3704.64 points.
Locally the mining giants were all weaker.
BHP Billiton fell 3c to $37.50 and Rio Tinto plummeted 80c to $66.60 and Fortescue fell 15c to $4.74.
Three of the four main banks were weaker.
ANZ fell 24c to $25.17, Westpac finished flat at $26.28, National Australia Bank dropped 21c to $25.09 and Commonwealth Bank dived $1.23 to $61.37.
The Australian Industry Group and the Housing Industry Association also released a report showing activity in Australia's construction industry had slowed for the 31st consecutive month, with the home and apartment sector remaining especially weak.
The spot price of gold in Sydney was $US1649.30 a fine ounce, down $US12.35 from Monday's local close of $US1661.65 an ounce.
National turnover was 1.3 billion shares worth $3.9 billion, with 386 stocks up, 527 down and 359 unchanged.

Brian Locke likes to portray himself as a semi-retired farmer. It is a description that is equal parts truth and false modesty.
Locke was born in Canowindra in NSW and does indeed live on a 20-hectare farm in Lucknow. But the 64-year-old is also a shrewd and well-funded businessman with an eye for an opportunity. Nobody knows this better than the people at Macquarie.
A decade ago, Locke took on Australia's biggest investment bank, alleging its senior executives stole an irrigation infrastructure idea for wheat farming he had asked Macquarie to develop. Locke was none too shy about pushing his breach of confidence action. He attended a Macquarie annual meeting and described the bank as "a shark pool".
Not long after that he bobbed up on Channel 9's Sunday program to explain internal meetings with Macquarie executives in excruciating detail. Macquarie settled the case in 2003. The terms are confidential but many close to Locke believe he walked away with millions.
Now Locke is at it again. This time his target is Australia's biggest gold miner, Newcrest, which boasts a market capitalisation of $22 billion. His latest case hinges on a handful of critical mining leases around the company's massive $2 billion Cadia East gold and copper project near Orange, which is due to be completed in December.
The Weekend AFR revealed on Monday that a small mining company Locke co-founded, Gold and Copper Resources, has launched four separate sets of legal proceedings against Newcrest over the past two years. These actions differ in substance but they have one purpose: they threaten the development of Cadia East.
Questions for Newcrest
For its part, Newcrest has dismissed the claims as holding no merit. The company, which has repeatedly told the Weekend AFR is it bemused by the attention the GCR action is getting, announced to the Australian Securities Exchange that it would vigorously defend each of the court actions.
The action raises questions for both sides. Why did Newcrest not disclose the legal claims before they appeared in the media? Why did Newcrest rush out to get two new mining leases when it became aware of the latest GCR claim. And even if Newcrest did not have the correct approvals in place for Cadia, is its transgression meaningful?
For his part, Locke is adamant Newcrest has made a serious mistake. "It has always been my understanding, that since Hargraves found gold in 1851, you cannot conduct mining activities on land in NSW without a mining lease," he says. "Newcrest tells the ASX that this case is without merit. GCR looks forward to its day in court."
While he likes to be described as a farmer, Locke admits to "hanging around" the mining industry for much of his life. He claims to hold "a million acres" of leasehold land and says he has explored at least a third of that on horseback.
"We used to go to bed with the bushranger stories saying they raided the gold up here. So it's in my blood," he says. "I never went to university but we learnt on the job. I wheat farmed both on the farm and in the bush for 15 years so you get to know your way around."
David and Goliath battle
Locke, whose son Charlie is a director of GCR, has some history in the sector. Along with his brother he floated an exploration company called Eastern Gold in 1984 which Locke says was acquired as part of consolidation in the central west region of NSW. Now as he nears retirement age, he has vowed to stick up for the small end of the industry.
Locke describes the Newcrest case as "a David and Goliath battle". But it should also be pointed out he has powerful friends with deep pockets. GCR was founded five years ago with fellow resources entrepreneur Jeremy Barlow. It has become one of the largest private explorers in NSW having accumulated explorations rights over 2200 square kilometres of ground. Barlow's involvement means it now boasts some of the most high profile shareholders of any company in Australia including Qantas chairman
It is also understood billionaire and former Xstrata and Glencore chairman
Some rival explorers contacted by the Weekend AFR dismiss GCR as a glorified rural landlord with a penchant for litigation that is yet to discover any minerals. Indeed, NSW explorer Golden Cross Resources, which shares another border with Newcrest, was so unhappy with any association due to the shared "GCR" inititals that it is issued a "clarification" to the ASX on Wednesday.
Locke insists the company just wants to be left to its own devices to mine. To do this, he says GCR needs to stand up for its rights.
"The market is not informed out here," says Locke, who is also a Newcrest shareholder. "Mums and dads are buying this Newcrest stock and they have no idea that they are mining up there in areas where they are not allowed to be."
GCR's latest claim against Newcrest was brought to the Land and Environment Court late last month. It argues that construction of the Cadia East mine including the extension of a massive dam occurred on 20 acres of land over which Newcrest doesn't have a mining lease. GCR alleges the extension of the Rodds Creek dam resulted in the removal of trees and vegetation covering about 30 acres.
Old Photo
Other actions brought by GCR in the last two years include a breach of confidentiality claim in the NSW Supreme Court over discussions involving an "induced polarisation" technology championed by Canadian mining guru Robert Friedland and a dispute over key exploration licences next to Cadia.
If Newcrest breached the Mining Act or Protection of the Environment Operations Act – as GCR alleges – it may also violate associated exploration licences near Cadia's existing operations. This appears to be the ultimate goal for GCR, which believes it is next in line if some of those licences are forfeited.
GCR says Newcrest continues to use an old 2008 photo of its mine leases at Cadia, most recently during presentations to investors last week. It has taken more recent aerial photos of the dam and its borders, which it argues show the miner has over-stepped the mark. (Newcrest has declined to answer specific question about the validity of the GCR photo this week).
Barlow says GCR became interested last year when a tenement lawyer pointed out that Newcrest's two exploration licences were not in order last year, which led GCR to submit its own exploration licence applications.
"In applying for our own ELA, we observed there appeared to be a tailings dam protruding onto it. We thought there should be a mining lease in place or at least a mining lease application in place but it turns out there wasn't."
GCR's wrote to Newcrest, on September 14, threatening to take the company to court in seven days unless its concerns were addressed. Newcrest declined but on September 21 – the same day the court papers were due to be filed – the goldminer itself lodged new mining leases to the NSW government covering the disputed areas. Newcrest will not answer questions about why it applied for new leases, referring the Weekend AFR back to its original ASX statement: "We take our permitting very seriously and we are very confident of our permitting at the eastern wall of the Cadia operation including the Rodds Creek Dam."
But analysts who attended a tour of the Cadia Valley operations on Wednesday said management shed further light on Newcrest's side of the story on the lease boundaries.
"Newcrest stated that in one instance it had removed some trees from a softwood plantation outside the mining lease yet still on Newcrest-owned land that will be impacted when a recently constructed dam is at capacity," Goldman Sachs said in a report. "This has since been approved by the Environmental Protection Authority and Newcrest had paid an offsetting fee associated with the removal of these trees." This assessment would support the view held by some observers that – even if Newcrest has not handled the approvals process perfectly – it will not be a substantive issue for its shareholders.
Newcrest also confirmed to analysts it was seeking an extension to the mining lease where it previously estimated block cave subsidence would protrude beyond lease boundaries. "The company sees this issue as one which will be played out in court, albeit with comfort that it has done nothing wrong," Goldman noted.
Locke seems more than ready for his day in court. GCR has spent more than $20 million on exploration in the last two years and thinks it could find the next Cadia. He claims this is not a matter of legal opportunism. Indeed, he argues GCR simply wants the case settled so it can move on with finding the sort of mineral deposits which gave it the confidence to peg such vast tracts of land in the first place.

Ever hear the line, "The more I fix it, the broker it gets"?
Of course not, I just made that up. But it holds true for some protection programs out today.
Software companies want to keep us safe on the Internet and e-mail so programs are continually being updated/improved and many of these improvements have caused issues with the consumers and their computers. Here is the straight scoop, as I see it on anti-virus programs.
Longtime readers of this column are aware, that I have been an AVG user for many years but recently I had to change. The improvements to AVG 8.0 have rendered this program nearly useless or at least so hard to configure it is not worth the trouble. Users of the free version are constantly bombarded by pop-ups telling the consumer to update and virus scans last almost indefinitely. AVG has been removed from my computer, never to grace it again until they correct these issues.
Cox has its Security Suite of McAfee products that supposedly protect you for free. McAfee ranks second from the bottom on the list of protection programs I endorse. They do not protect you very well and they slow your computer down in the process. We will not even discuss Norton for the same reasons I dislike McAfee.
If you have either of these programs on your computer and you are satisfied with them, great!
There are other programs on the market today that will protect you with a minimum of cost and slight reduction in performance. One of those programs is AVIRA (www.avira.com). I have been testing AVIRA for a couple weeks and have seen only a few issues. The program is free to download at www.download.com when you click the AntiVirus, Firewall & Spyware link on the left-hand side of the page. Save the download to your desktop as opposed to clicking Run and when it is complete, double click on the icon on your desktop and install the program. Installation is pretty straightforward and setup questions are pretty easy.
One thing I really did not like about the free program is the daily pop-ups asking you to upgrade to the paid version. This can be bypassed so those who are interested simply need to e-mail me for the cure. The program runs constantly in the background but manual scans are recommended. It even found a couple things AVG missed. The program does not scan e-mail without a $20 upgrade but the daily virus scan should detect any bad e-mails and remove them.
Another alternative to AVG, Norton, McAfee and the aforementioned Cox Security Suite is Avast! Antivirus. It is also a free download at www.download.com by clicking on the AntiVirus, Firewall & Spyware link. Avast! has been around for some time and is highly regarded by many computer users. Avast! does scan your incoming and outgoing e-mails for viruses as well as automatic updates and daily virus scans. This program requires a free registration within 60 days of installation.
The only issue I have found so far is the inability to program the scans according to my schedule and the configuration is a bit difficult. The program itself runs well and so far seems to protect the computer. Stay tuned for updates and hopefully they will not make your computer "broker."

I've had a great week and hope you have too.
It began with me getting stuck into my new exploit, bikram yoga, and I've finally started to feel my body returning to its former pre-baby self.
I had to work on Saturday and, while away, my toddler had a small accident, falling over as he excitedly ran to see the postman.
Michael rang and told me and I felt so helpless. It wasn't anything serious and daddy was there for cuddles, but it made me think of the struggle lots of parents have when striking that home/work balance.
So far there has always been one parent with our children which comes with its own set of obstacles… and critics, but it works for the four of us.
At the end of the day it's up to parents to decide how they want to raise their children.
Also this week, my baby daughter has learned the art of blowing raspberries very effectively.
I've been sprayed with all sorts of food ranging from pureed apple, baby rice and chicken casserole making anything I'm wearing fashionably spotty and preventing me from seeing clearly through my glasses.
She finds it hilarious and looks so cute I can't help but laugh with her. Even my son has started coming up to clean her face with a wipe just to get involved with proceedings.
He's been obsessed with his new Lego Duplo sets daddy ordered for him, so everywhere I go in the house I'm carefully avoiding stepping on rogue pieces.
He's so creative and talks me through his creations like an architect describing his masterpiece. It's so cute.
As well as that, Michael has a new job which will be keeping him busy over the coming weeks, so I'll look forward to a tidy house.

While a surge in the iron ore price overnight to bring it over the psychologically important $US100-a-tonne mark has provided a temporary reprieve for producers like
The industry is in a holding pattern at the moment with the doomsayers at one end predicting the end of the world as we know it while producers of course are standing behind analyst forecasts for prices to average around US$130 per tonne in calendar 2013.
There is no doubt miners are adjusting to a new reality, some better than others.
One company which keeps an amazingly low profile despite its high-profile shareholders, Mineral Resources, believes the recent fall in price is a hiccup that will correct itself over time. It is confident of meeting its targets at current prices and is now winding back plans to expand its Carina project in Western Australia at a rate of 4 million tonnes.
The latest iron ore price rally came after the Chinese government flagged a 1 trillion yuan ($150 billion) infrastructure spending programme that boosted demand for steel. There is still a huge question mark over how serious China is about embarking on another wave of stimulus.
Despite the price increase, the uncertainty continues to put enormous pressure on Fortescue to raise equity.
Fortescue shares opened higher this morning following recent heavy selling
CommSec analysts argue Fortescue will need a $US2 billion equity raising if the iron ore price remains below $US110-$US120 per tonne for an extended period. That remains a real possibility if this week's rally turns out to be short-lived although chairman
BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) announced this week it would be closing its Gregory open-cut mine and Xstrata Coal is flagging 800 job cuts across Queensland.
One theory doing the rounds is that BHP is closing Gregory early to shock the metallurgical coal market back to life although UBS analysts note it is more likely to be a political statement against the state government's unwelcome decision yesterday to hike the coal royalty rate.

Spotlight Recipe: Curried Winter Squashby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, October 12, 2009
Now is prime season for winter squash. These hearty veggies are big on flavor and hunger-fighting fiber but still low on the calorie scale. One cup cooked has about 100 calories and covers more than 35% of your daily fiber. This Food Network Magazine dish calls for acorn squash and your favorite curry powder, but more for a bit more sweetness, trade in butternut squash and some smoked paprika.

Unique looking BlackBerry 9670 clamshell is going to be named the "Style"
We knew that it was only going to be inevitable before RIM finally decided on finding an appropriate name for their upcoming unique looking BlackBerry 9670 clamshell. Some thought that it could somehow fit into one of their existing line of BlackBerry smartphones – such as the Curve or Pearl. However, the strangely different smartphone is going to be graced with the name BlackBerry Style. Yeah, it can somewhat be considered as a stylish handset with its uncanny design that doesn't necessarily exude similarities to other prior handsets – especially when it looks like wider than the Pearl Flip. Love it or hate it, the name is pretty much going to stand still – so we'll have to just live with the knowledge of knowing that it'll be the "Style." In a way, it undoubtedly differentiates itself from previous handsets and could be looked as being stylish in some way.

This will be the last SUM post, as AUT will succeed with the start of school tomorrow. Actually, the next two days will be Orientation for noobies to the Department of Architecture here at UW. School officially starts on the 30th. Updates on how Orientation goes later this week.
I just came back from a 4-week trip around Western Europe! I saw amazing things, met fantastic people, and acquired extraordinary experiences. I'll update my Flickr once I get to organizing them. Some personal highlights were SANAA's Serpentine Pavilion; Vitra Design Museum; Le Corbusier: Art and Architecture Exhibition; Greek statues; getting lost in Berlin 3 in the morning; Tadao Ando; Netherland Architecture Institute; Barcelona beaches; OMA; Belgian chocolate; and no drinking age! (yes, I am 20, unfortunately for living in the States).
Aside from the jet lag and enjoying the last day of summer at a Pacific Northwest Beach, I feel an urge of "cold feet". Yes, I believe that is how to say it. Basically, my recent resignation from fulltime employment as a barista and entrance to the architecture department means that I will be a 100% architecture student for the first time! This is extremely exciting for me on a personal level that has taken me some work to achieve. I feel the start of a new episode in my life, per say, and within all the psychological complexity, I am questioning why things happened this way and if it is the right way. Do I really want to go into what sounds like an education and profession of underpaid, overworked, and competitive nature? Do I have enough passion for it and/or creative juice? Will I still be able to backpack the world, something I consider a necessity for my wellbeing?
Nevertheless, I'm downright psyched for tomorrow.
Good luck..!!

United Policyholders is a national non-profit consumer advocate group for insurance policyholders. United Policyholders assisted Larimer County residents with insurance issues following the High Park Fire. A homeowners policy covers falling and rain-driven water, so if the storm created any breaks in the house exterior—holes in the roof, broken windows, penetrated seals through which rain fell or through which wind drove rain inside—there is coverage through a homeowners policy. All flooding from rising water or river flooding is excluded unless a Flood Insurance Rider has been added to the policy by the homeowner. No exceptions.
For people who have no flood insurance but want to know if anything is covered in their home policy: Home policies should cover people's temporary living expenses due to being out of their homes under a mandatory evacuation order by a government entity. But that may require an argument to be made. Company adjusters may initially say no and state the damage relates to flooding so it's excluded. Homeowners can respond to this information and stress that the evacuation order is the triggering cause of their loss of use. This homeowners insurance coverage only lasts as long as the home is uninhabitable due to the evacuation order, and it will not include repair costs.
For those who have flood insurance and want a basic understanding of what's covered visit the United Policyholders flood claim page for Colorado residents. A video is included. There are several presentations on the video including one by a representative from the National Flood Insurance Program plus a flood insurance agent based in Denver. Flood policies have limited coverage (for example: basements are excluded), and there are lots of rules and conditions.

Who better to explain the terms of Cultural Marxism than a leftist adjunct professor at a White Privilege Conference?
Kankakee Community College adjunct professor Stephanie Baran is heard promoting the idea that capitalism is the cause of racism in the modern world while speaking at the White Privilege Conference held in Madison, Wisc., this March. The answer, apparently, is full-blown Marxism.
When conservatives talk about Marxism in general, the left is always there to tell us we don't know what Marxism is all about. Our definitions are wrong, our verbiage is incorrect, and our lack of knowledge of the subject is woefully short. The problem with Marxism is that – in general – it's a difficult term to nail down, but most of us realize that Marxism involves several things and the entire definition is a mouthful.
Here is the Merriam-Webster online definition of Marxism. "the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marx; especially : a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society."
Marxism compares the haves with the have nots. It emphasizes a dialectical view of social transformation. Dialectical – in this sense – is referring to Hegelian Dialectics and means "the Hegelian process of change in which a concept or its realization passes over into and is preserved and fulfilled by its opposite; also : the critical investigation of this process." Hegelian Dialectic is used often by those on the left. Explanations can often be labored and intense because Hegel himself – as a philosopher – was difficult to understand. To keep things simple, I've included a chart I've created to help explain the process as simply as possible.
As can be seen in the image, Hegelian Dialectic starts with an agenda. In this case, the Oligarchy wants to have centralized power throughout the world, but how to make that happen? Either create terror events that have real casualties or wait for a real one to come along that also has real casualties. That's the thesis, or proposition that is being used to bring the agenda to fruition. Notice the thesis has nothing directly to do (seemingly) with the agenda and this agenda of course, would be kept under wraps only known by people who actually need to know.
The Anti-thesis (or reaction) to the thesis is an increasing police presence (state) in order to appear to try to make society more secure from terrorist events. Of course, since the terrorist event in question was either created by those associated with the Oligarchy or allowed by them, then making society more "secure" is not the real intent. Control is the intent.
Finally, the Synthesis is when the Thesis and Anti-thesis come together to create something new. In our example, a terror event is created (or allowed), resulting in the populace demanding the government do what it can to keep society safe. The government complies by removing rights/freedoms in what is really a transfer of power. This happens because the average person wrongly believes that the government exists to keep us safe and has no knowledge that the terrorist event was created to centralize power – give more power to the government.
Getting back to the White Privilege Conference, it is very clear that Hegelian tactics, as part of Marxism, are being pushed. Lies are often part of the package. Just like an artificially created terrorist event (complete with real injuries and even deaths) is ultimately a lie to bring about the type of change needed/desired, other lies are often employed by Marxists to bring certain things to pass.
A few of the lies propagated at the recent conference (held this past March) include the following:
- The White Race was created in 1681
- Rape is not "intrinsically" bad
- Christianity must be reigned in because of its inherent "racism"
The goal is to recreate society. The only way to do that is by overpowering and replacing traditional values with new ones. "The goal of the conference, according to another article at Progressives Today, was to promote ways educators could indoctrinate young children as part of the effort to remake America into a collectivist economy ruled by a tyrannical, oppressive government. Naturally, Christianity was a favorite target of speakers at the conference."
Christianity is a major target because of the biblical principles within it. Conference attendees even heard speakers talk about the fact that the 1st Amendment needs to be limited. In other words, the answer would be "for government to decide what's okay for us to say out loud, and what we have to keep to ourselves."
What I find fascinating is that this is even remotely tolerable, even by leftists. But if leftists gained full control of society (through Cultural Marxism) that put them in the driver's seat, you can bet that they would still be able to say anything they wanted to say. They would be able to denigrate Christianity as being racist and bigoted while fully ignoring the way Islam tramples on the civil rights of people. Islam is a useful tool for the left to use as a hegemony because, while there are many examples of bigotry and anti-women values at its core, Islam is perfect to use as a tool by leftists to reign in Christianity.
It is staggering that society has come to this point. I am reminded of Romans 1 again. Watching society turn itself inside out is something I really never thought I would see, even though I have understood what the Bible says about the end times.
But think of the fact that a conference was held that was actually called "White Privilege Conference." Only in today's society could this be done – this is how far we have come off our traditional, biblical moorings. The communists (Cultural Marxists) are out of the closet. Something must be telling them they have turned a corner and are not in fear of losing their jobs or being ostracized by society. Frankly, I'm not sure we can put the worms back in the can, but in spite of that, we still need to educate as many people as possible about the dangers of Cultural Marxism.
