Fleet-Based armies are those that operate across the Milky Way Galaxy without a fixed base or homeworld, and which normally operate on a highly-mobile basis from a fleet of starships. Such armies include the forces of the Tyranids, almost the entire surviving, uncorrupted Eldar race who now operate from their great Craftworlds and many of the Chapters of the Space Marines. Many Fleet-based Chapters of Space Marines not only maintain large Chapter Fleets but also massive flagships that serve as a mobile fortress-monastery and are known as Chapter Barques. Such massive vessels include the Eternal Crusader of the Black Templars or the Omnis Arcanum of the Blood Ravens. Some Chapters even have access to larger mobile fortresses that serve as their primary base of operations, like The Rock of the Dark Angels, the Phalanx of the Imperial Fists or the Raptorus Rex of the Fire Hawks. Several Chapters who turned Renegade at some point but were judged to have been misled into treachery and granted forgiveness by the High Lords of Terra following a penitent crusade, like the Mantis Warriors and the Lamenters, are now Fleet-Based Crusade Chapters following the forfeiture of their Chapter homeworld as the price for their transgression.
Notable Fleet-based Space Marine ChaptersEdit
- Black Dragons
- Black Templars
- Imperial Fists
- Blood Ravens
- Charnel Guard
- Crimson Castellans
- Eagle Warriors
- Executioners

FNC's Catherine Herridge traveled to Bermuda to meet the four Chinese Muslim Uighurs just released from Guantanamo Bay and she elicited from them that living in China is worse than life at Guantanamo. Talking to them through an interpreter at their new home, a pink bungalow with a swimming pool, Herridge reported how she "asked which was worse: Life at Gitmo versus China?" The interpreter relayed, over the voices of all of the men talking: "Of course it's China. There's no guarantee for human rights there."
So, there's a new angle for the media: Guantanamo as a bastion of human rights protections. Not really much of a surprise in contrast to China, but it took a FNC reporter to frame the comparison between a U.S. military-run detention center and a communist nation.
From Herridge's piece on the Monday, June 15 Special Report with Bret Baier:
CATHERINE HERRIDGE: They say the worst moment at Gitmo came when the U.S. allowed Chinese interrogators to question them.
INTERPRETER: They were really harsh. They were threatening them.
HERRIDGE: Camp Iguana, the camp with the least restrictions, was the men's most recent home. Asked which was worse: Life at Gitmo versus China?
INTERPRETER: Of course it's China. There's no guarantee for human rights there.

Shah of Iran's Daughter Found Dead in Luxury London Hotel
Princess Leila Pahlavi, the youngest child of the late Shah of Iran, died in a London hotel after apparently taking an overdose, reported the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday.
The princess, who lived in the United States, was found dead by staff at the Leonard Hotel on Sunday evening. She was 31.
Her brother, Reza Pahlavi, the elder son of the Shah and heir to the Peacock Throne, refused to confirm the cause of death when contacted by the paper.
In a statement released from his office in Falls Church, Virginia, he said, "It brings me enormous pain and deep sorrow to announce the tragic passing away of my beloved sister Princess Leila Pahlavi after a lengthy illness.''
The paper added that police were investigating the possibility that she took an overdose of sleeping pills, but were awaiting the results of toxicology tests and a post-mortem examination.
Princess Leila, who was unmarried, was the youngest of the Shah's five children, and the fourth child of his third wife, Queen Farah.
Born in Tehran in 1970, she appeared destined for a life of opulence and privilege. But nine years later, she was forced to flee Iran with her family when her father was deposed in the Islamic revolution.
Princess Leila spent a good deal of the year staying at the Leonard Hotel, a haven for wealthy travelers in central London. She paid $935 a night for her favorite suite, said the Telegraph.
Her father, who ruled Iran from 1941 to 1979, died of cancer in Egypt in 1980 – Albawaba.com

NOW that the Lendal Bridge trial is coming to an end, there are a couple of things residents can be fairly certain will happen.
Firstly, the trial will not actually end after six months. You can bet that council officials and the Labour cabinet will "need time to assess the results" – a euphemism for: "Let's buy more time to find reasons for keeping it shut".
Secondly, we will see a systematic campaign of obfuscation, with manipulation of traffic figures being used to justify permanent closure – a decision I believe has already been made some time ago in private by council officials and the Labour hierarchy.
To keep Lendal Bridge closed, the burden of proof lies squarely with the council to show there has been a significantly beneficial effect on York's traffic. Actual traffic data proves unequivocally that traffic has got worse, not better, including increased bus journey times.
Botched signage, alienated visitors, disillusioned residents – Kersten England and James Alexander can prove that they are now finally "listening" by making the only logical decision possible and re-opening Lendal Bridge without delay after February 28.
Nick Love, Deangate, York.
• SO City of York Council has taken £1.3 million in five months on Lendal fines – as a York person I feel ashamed (The Press, February 12). 42,800 cars have taken the wrong turning in the wrong place at the wrong time and poor them. Probably there were at least two people in the car so at least 85,600 have not seen and been able to read and interpret the bad signage to avoid Lendal Bridge – so what does that tell the council? It's made the city impossible to negotiate and a joke.
I don't believe the closure is an innocent experiment. If this were the case why did they go to the trouble of installing all the money-grabbing paraphanalia? It's just legalised theft.
This £1.3 million may be small fry when it comes to the long-term PR damage that it is doing to the city. How many more letters does it take from visitors who claim they will never return to York after their experience?
It's funny but the last time people were robbed en-route to York by a certain Dick Turpin, it was classed as highway robbery and he was hanged. Makes you think…

All the well known accountantants support businesses suggest accountants should meet their clients on a regular basis. They do not talk about the practicalities.
For me this is a difficult one since it would impact on my time in a big way. Further, I am not sure which my clients would want to see me and which ones would rather not. On writing this post, I am thinking this is one area to make clear to clients at the time of engagement.
Like most, I am sure, my preferred way of communicating with clients is through emails. At the same time I need to meet clients needs before they start walking away.
I would be grateful if you could share your experience/ ideas / pearls of wisdom on:
- How oftern do you meet your clients?
- Which clients do you meet? Is it the high fee paying ones?
- What is on the agenda?
- How much of your time is taken up on meeting clients?
- Where do you meet clients? Your place or theirs? Travel time to their place would be an issue for me.
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Don't set it down, don't charge for it, don't try to formalise i
You should be aware of which clients at any particular time have problems, or, are expanding. Those who are simply plodding along probably dont need to see you, although they might appreciate a chat occasionally. Set a day a week aside to be "out and about", call in to see clients for an informal chat about how they are coping with their problem, or, how is work going on the new extension or whatever. Don't overstay your welcome, 15 minutes is usually long enough with a client to discuss their latest project.
Out of these "chats" you will sometimes pick up one-off jobs, often you will get introduced to potential new clients (Fred in the industrial unit next door is looking for a new accountant), and your clients will appreciate that you actually take enough interest i their business to go to the trouble of calling in when passing just to see that everything is ok.
Some things you can't systemize
Hi FT - I know you have had this response before but it seems you are looking for a system again but relationships don't (or shouldn't) work like that. Think of friends & relations, if you are like me, I like to see some on a regular basis, some I'm not that fussed one way or the other and others are so close that even if we only see each other once every 5 years, it's as though it was only 5 months.
You have to go with what's right for you and what you perceive (or are told) is right for them. I have clients in Spain, the States and even North London, where I won't see them in years but that's OK, others need handholding and, because of the complexity of their affairs, it's far more effecient for us to fix quarterly get togethers.
The list is endless, but that's life.
Time is limited as a sole-practitioner ....
but I try to ensure that it is as often as the client wants. Some are very happy with correspondence others like more regular contact. So, most I will see once a year either to review the accounts or collect records. If someone requests a meeting then I will always fit them in. It is always at their premises. The agenda will be whatever seems appropriate be it the state of the economy, football or their tax bill! My meetings usually last about 1.5 hours. I set asside one complete day for meetings each week and because there is stetch of sea between me and them, this rarely changes. Even if I lived back on the mainland I would say this is a terrific discipline as it gives me 4 solid work days rather than bits and pieces. On my mainland day I will often see 4 or 5 clients, travel 150 miles and have a 12 or 13 hour day door to door.
Don't forget
Some clients won't appreciate you just dropping by uninvited for a chat! Not everyone is sociable, some people like their peace and quiet and want to get on. Having their accountant turning up on their doorstep will be a pain in the proverbial and could lose you the client when they go to an accountant who will meet their own personal needs. Personally I detest anyone turning up without an invite, even my closest mates - and I doubt I'm really that unique (special yes, unique sadly not!) Everybody is different as others have said....
I see some of my clients through necessity (picking up books) and always at theirs as I like my space to be mine. I do include travel time in my fees (though try to do several trips in one go to keep the time down) because that benefits the ones who are happy to correspond by email (or post if needed). All new clients are taken on with the proviso upfront that they don't get visits or phone calls. I know that will put a lot off but that's fine, there are plenty more accountants out there happy to take them on. This way though I get the quality of life that I want AND my clients get a service that they are happy with too as they know what they're getting before they sign up. Win, win.
ps Yes I am a serious introvert, and happy with it!
For what it's worth,
I, as a consumer, always judge my relationships with service providers by how LITTLE time I need to spend with them. If the system that they are running works OK and there are no routine problems to resolve that suits me fine and I don't care if I NEVER see them.
I realise that those of you in practice will need to see the more complicated clients to discuss tax, structural tactics, etc. but this is only with regard to year end. For the rest of the time, as long as you can be contacted as queries arise I would be quite happy.
@ Flash
You should consider moving to an island too ... unless your client / friend / relative owns a fast boat the chances of dropping by are quite restricted!!
No man is an island
So might be worth a sex[***] change?
Steve, does the Isle of Purbeck count, hopefully that's where I'll be this time next year.
Just stop for an hour once a quarter.....................look at your client list make a list of those you have not spoken to for a while and ring them.
Even a message left on answering machine such as ''just a courtesy call checking on your progress let me know if you need my help'' leaves a good impression.
When you look at your client list I would guess that 50% you speak to on a regular basis dealing with VAT, Paye, Mangement accounts etc.
the "Isle" of Purpeck is a peninsula, not a island! But since it's a very very lovely place to be, we'll forgive you.
BTW it's not me but my MIL who lives there, so i know a good barbers!
No reason to see clients mid year uninvited unless they specifically request it from the onset, at an agreed price, at an agreed travel arrangement basis.
Horses for courses but most clients don't want to see their accountant more than they have to - but do want the reassurance that he/she is always there for them should the need arise. In those instances they will initiate the contact.
Use the annual review to ask clients what they want. Don't just discuss the accounts, ask them for feedback on the service and if there is anything that you are not doing that they would like you to do. If ad-hoc visits are what they want then incoporate that into the next years fee. An annual review will give you loads of scope to not only check that the client is satisfied, and gettting what s/he wants, but also to sell additional service to them if required.
It would prove pointless to systemise this - treat each one individually. Also, one of my pet hates is service providers ringing me up with the 'Im just checking everything is ok with our service' cribsheet, and if I feel like that then i'm sure that some of your clients would too.
I disagree Jason
Jason, you say "most clients don't want to see their accountant more than they have to". If that is how clients feel about their accountant, then that simply shows that the accountant is not doing his job properly and isnt fully engaging with the clients business.
Clients should view you as a trusted friend, someone who takes an interest in their business, someone who will give a bit of advice about anything thats worrying them - and not always charge for it. Ensuring that your clients stay in business and prosper is in your long term interest too.
If you have a client who is extending his premises, do you
just let him get on with it? Or,do you put him in touch with a suitable builder, electrician, plumber, etc who all happen to also be clients, thus helping several clients?
if the answer is (1) then you really arent giving your clients the service they deserve.
I'm with you T C
Spot on Top cat
Spot off TC
Jason's summary matches my experience.
Regularly on this site you see comments and even articles that view clients as one great amorphous group who behave as one and, in this case, want to see us as often as possible. Bit like a headline on here a few months back saying that if we were not making all our clients ecstatically happy, we were not doing our job properly.
Clients are individuals and, speaking for me and a good chunk of my clients being a "trusted friend" is rose tinted and unrealistic, unless of course you refuse to act for people who don't want you as a trusted friend.
I engage with clients and take an interest in their affairs and am friendly but, as Jason says, I match this approach to what the clients want one at a time.
I see perhaps 15% of my clients on a regular (3 monthly basis) and perhaps another 25% on an annual basis and there's probably 30% I might not see for 5 year stretches. I've acted for many of this latter group for over 20 years. There is no hard & fast rule here, we are humans not computers.
Agree with Jason
Jason, you say "most clients don't want to see their accountant more than they have to". If that is how clients feel about their accountant, then that simply shows that the accountant is not doing his job properly and isnt fully engaging with the clients business.
TopCat you say that the accountant isn't doing their job properly if the client doesn't want to see them every 2 seconds - why? You're assuming that every client is the same and wants or needs their hand holding and someone constantly checking up on them. Not everyone is like that. You might be and that's fine. I'd detest having someone do that me if I was their client. For example, I have an alarm system. I have an annual maintenance visit & know that once a year the nice bloke will get in touch to arrange the visit. The rest of the year he leaves me in peace and knows that if I have a problem or a query I'll contact him. And I do if necessary. And I'll recommend him to others because his service is excellent for me and my needs. If he rang me frequently or worse still turned up out of the blue I'd be thinking one or more of the following:
a, he's a stalker
b, he's desperate for business
c, (and this one would always apply) what a pain in the proverbial he is invading my space uninvited, I'll have to cancel my contract because I'm not comfortable with this.
Not everyone wants you to engage with them. Some just want you to do the bare minimum that they're obliged to submit to HMRC and then let them get on with it. For them they're not buying a service they're buying a product whether its a tax return or a set of accounts. And some clients will want everything - the full blown all-singing, all-dancing line of chorus girls gold-plated service. But my point is that every client is different and if you try to be one thing (be it hands all-over as TC suggests or hands in pockets as I'd prefer (is it just me that has certain thoughts at that point, must have been the chorus girls!)) to everyone you'll lose clients. Better to decide to be one and focus on getting clients to meet that or be prepared to be very flexible and give everyone something different.
(My preference is the former - that way I know I'm happy with my life and that clients will be getting a consistent approach that they've agreed to in the first place. But that's my comfort zone and obviously many people will be happy putting their hands in and out of their pockets regularly (ho hum)
Spot on Paul
We take our own clients as individuals. I get annoyed when suppliers constantly ring me up (Sage is a good example of this!), and get even more annoyed when non-clients drop in unannounced. OK, we may have a slightly different relationship with our 'customers' than most suppliers, but the theory is the same. If it annoys me I make the assumption (right or wrong) that it would annoy my clients, too.
We give our clients every available opportunity to contact us, and remind them every year when we renew our engagement. If they want extra meetings (and some do), or want to discuss something, they just ask us.
I was thinking a remote Scottish island myself - lots of snow, rain & only the odd sheep for company. Bliss!
Could this be the answer -
How did my suggestion of keeping in touch with clients suddenly get interpreted as some "hard sell" tactic pushing services down clients throats?
What i said was that relationships with clients should be developed, that keeping in touch and offering ad hoc advice should be the norm. I rarely if ever contact a client to "sell" a service, indeed I rarely discuss business, unless the client initiates the subject, when making courtesy calls. I will chat to clients in the 'pub, or wherever.
It's all about how you are perceived by your clients. Many (probably most) accountants are seen by their clients as a miserable stick-in-the-mud who tells them what they can't do and uses the tax man as a bogey man to frighten them into compliance. I prefer to be seen as being on the client's side, someone who will try to find a way for them to do what they want to do without falling foul of the law or tax man. You're giving the same advice, it's all about how you present it.
Think about the logistics, the personal time lost, and the costs that will be incurred. Our practice is small, compared to many, but when I calculate how many visits I would have to do, just to visit each client once a year, that would be enough to squash the idea for me.
If you are out and about a lot (instead of being stuck in front of a PC all day like me) then maybe it wouldn't be too big an overhead to call in unannounced, if you are certain the client would appreciate it.
What if you build your practice up to thousands of clients (you seem to be pretty ambitious)? If you start this 'personal visit' expectation are you starting something that you will be unable to maintain?
You have commented before that you wish to 'distance' yourself from the clients as you grow, and hand over more of the contact to your staff. This idea would have the opposite result.
T C on the mark again
Just seems common sense to me!
Common sense -
- something totally lacking in our modern world.
I disagree TC
Not doing the job properly? I would argue that meeting clients when they havent asked for it and incorporating meeting times into the fee isn't doing the job properly. I would rather keep the the clients costs down personally as I feel that is doing your job 'properly' for want of a better word.
Sure if clients want to see me regulary I would gladly see them (and bill them). As First Tab suggests in opening post, this is the sort of issue to discuss at the outset.
I would always let clients know that they should contact me for any one off or unusual transactions so in the scenario that you mention, if a client was to extend premises they would come to me first for advice.
I also disagree that clients want a trusted friend in their accountant, they generally want a reliable, down to earth, price tranpsarent and pro active adviser, who keeps them compliant, keeps their tax down, and gives good advice on all business aspects. If they want to make another friend then I doubt that they would look in the direction of an accountant! (though appreciate this does sometimes happen over time - not always a good thing)
We all know that some clients want advice on everything and everything whilst others only want to see you once a year, so as in my previous post I stand by the 'horses for courses' comment and give the client what he/she wants, not what you want to systemise.
I think that is more of a 'common sense' approach but respect your view.

Lack of time and motivation are often used as reasons not to exercise.
In truth, it's not as much about the number of minutes spent exercising as how hard you are working in the minutes you do have. A properly designed fitness program involves getting maximum results in minimum time, which helps keep you motivated, rather than spending countless hours where exertion levels are low.
My tips to help you keep your New Year's resolutions, eliminate excuses and get more fitness and calorie burning benefits for your buck:
Out with the old: If you are doing the same activity at the same pace for the same number of minutes, you can't expect a different result.
In with the new: If you enjoy the type of activity but not the results, interval training takes your current cardio workout to the next level by breaking it into predetermined increments of time, during which you move at different speeds.
For example, instead of a 3 mph 30-minute walk, choose a set number of minutes per interval and continually rotate between a warm-up pace, moderately winded pace and your fastest pace.
If you use a treadmill, you can also increase the level of incline at each interval; for a stationary bike, elliptical machine or stair-stepper, you can increase tension. Healthy adults who are accustomed to exercise might start with about 60 to 65 percent of their maximum heart rate for the first interval (an easier warm-up pace), increase to 70 to 80 percent of MHR (brisk walking pace) and finally to as much as 85 to 90 percent of MHR (huffing and puffing pace).
The idea is to alternate between levels of intensity throughout the entire workout, reserving the last few minutes as a 'cool down' interval. To be safe, if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are just beginning an exercise program, check with your doctor before altering your current training method. Once cleared, don't overdo it. Gradually increase your endurance and stamina over time.
Although not as accurate as some other more complicated formulas, the age-predicted formula is the most commonly used method of figuring maximum heart rate. Subtract your age from 220 (for males) and 226 (for females) and decide what percentage of that number is your goal.
For example, for a 50-year-old male, MHR would be 170 (220 minus age); working at 70 percent of this number would be 119 beats per minute.
Out with the old, in with the new: You're tired of your cardio workout and you're ready for a change. Cross training is a great way to increase calorie burning and spice up your workouts.
With this method, you choose between various activities performed within the same workout or alternating workout to workout. Cross training is an ideal way to alleviate boredom and avoid plateaus in your training because it provides a challenge both mentally and physically.
An example of a cross-training workout would be to start with 10 minutes of walking, followed by 10 minutes of light jogging, followed by 10 minutes of stair climbing or biking. Whatever activities you enjoy can be implemented.
Other options include alternating between strength-training exercise and aerobic exercise within the same workout. Doing a different type of activity each day of the week is an excellent way to increase intensity and prevent boredom.
For example, you might walk on Monday, do upper body weight training on Tuesday, jog on Wednesday, do lower body weight training on Thursday and take a yoga or Pilates class on Friday. Cross training lets you work all of your major muscle groups, and provides you with a well-rounded fitness plan.
More out with the old, in with the new: The weightlifting routine that once gave you such great results is no longer working. Although you are following the program faithfully, you've hit a plateau, realizing your strength hasn't improved in weeks.
Using the same exercise machines, doing the same reps, sets and weight loads is boring and predictable, and bound to cause burnout. Why not work on your endurance, stamina and strength at the same time?
On your next weightlifting day, try circuit training. Circuit training involves choosing eight to 10 strength-training exercises and performing one set of each back-to-back, alternating with a short period of cardio. Add variety by changing the amount of weight lifted and reps from week to week or workout to workout.
By choosing exercises that work more than one muscle group, such as squats, lunges, pushups and pullups, you'll make the most of your time and increase calorie burning significantly.

TEACHING assistant Beth Tyers has officially been awarded star status following a recommendation from her pupils.
Children in class 5J at Elm Academy in Bourne-mouth drew inspiration from TA Beth to win prizes in Unison's 'My Teaching Assistant is a Star' awards.
Ten year-old pupil Daisy Strutt designed a poster depicting Beth as the 5J Superhero and included descriptions from her classmates of why they all think they have the best teaching assistant.
From a 'welcoming smile' to being 'toeriffic' – the children praised Beth from head to toe.
For her efforts Daisy won art equipment for herself and the £200 worth of new books for the school.
And Beth now has an official 'My teaching assistant is a star' certificate and trophy.
Daisy said she nominated Beth because "she's simply awesome" and from the descriptions on Daisy's award winning poster it is clear the rest of her classmates agree.
The head of Elm Academy, Helen Janda, said: "We're so thrilled that Beth has been recognised in this way and there's no better praise than from the children themselves.
"Our teaching assistants all do a terrific job and provide a wonderful support system for the whole school.
"Often their role can get overlooked but they play a massively important part in the running of the school and supporting the education and welfare of all our children."
Beth has been at the Elm Academy for two years and helps with the education of 26 children in her class.
She said: "I love my job and it's wonderful to feel so appreciated by all the fantastic children in the class."

>> INSIDER WIRE —Despite word last week that Halston is poised to poach Olivier Theyskens, those rumors that he might be taking the helm at Schiaparelli are still persisting. We won't know anything until official word comes, but Diane Pernet cites "a very good source" saying that Olivier will be relaunching the house for owner Diego Della Valle; Theyskens's aesthetic certainly seemed more aligned with Schiaparelli than Halston.

Madonna Posts Photo Of Son Rocco With Racist Hashtag, Calls Critics "Haters," Then Asks For Forgiveness
Last night, Madonna posted the above photo to Instagram of 13-year-old son Rocco doing a little boxing. Her caption included the hashtag "#disnigga." Nope, not cool, Madge. About 45 minutes later, she deleted the photo and reposted it, this time with the hashtag "#get off of my dick haters!" Yes, the many people who responded to Madonna's original post and reminded her that it is NOT OKAY to use the n-word if you're white, even if you dated Dennis Rodman, are just "haters." Ugh, lady, you're embarrassing yourself. In a statement to the Associated Press today, Madonna offered a contrite "Forgive me," and, according to AP, said she's not a racist, and that she did not mean to use the word as a slur but knows there is no way to defend its use. She said she used the word as a "term of endearment," and that she's sorry if it gave the wrong impression. [Defamer]

Humans have a cognitive ability that no other animal seems to have. We can mentally time-travel. At will, we can think back to the past, reimagining our first day at college or eating a meal last week. Then, just as rapidly, we can switch to picturing the future, imagining our next holiday or drinking a cup of tea in an hour's time.
If the trailers are anything to go by, we already know where to find fantastic beasts: Eddie Redmayne has a suitcase full of them in 1926 New York. But where did they come from, the dragons, unicorns and hippogriffs of the Harry Potter universe? Monsters and mythical beasts perform a role in JK Rowling's work which transcends that of world-building: they add symbolic and psychological depth, as well as reminding us that we are visiting a magical place. Rowling is both an inventor and archivist of fantastical animals, populating her universe with a mixture of what one might term 'classic monsters' (trolls, centaurs, mer-people) and folklore staples (bowtruckles, erklings), alongside her own inventions (dementors).
Angela Merkel has finally confirmed that she will run for reappointment as German chancellor in the country's 2017 parliamentary elections. Many have hoped for this moment, despite the setbacks of the past few years. There is a strong sense that the world needs Merkel now more than ever. She has made some unpopular decisions in her 11 years as chancellor but she is, to many, the antithesis of Donald Trump.

text: Coming to us from Pennsylvania, Cubehead is something different from my usual postings full of electro beats and remixes; never the less different can also be good. Loaded with massive drums, guitars, and the occasional synths, Cubehead is a band that is loaded with testosterone, which should be the pick me up for every one's Monday. Cubehead really embodies what independent really means, the rawness in all their songs reminds me of those elements great bands like CSS and others used to have but as they grew more mainstream, they lost it leaving a great void which fans usually miss. In their song "No Kuller" cubehead give us an adrenaline shot with a old school punk riot; then Cubehead gives us the ballad "the Ice Block Song" a song which embodies what a real garage band sound really should sound.

We're very excited to announce that we'll be rolling out a new toolbar interface on the Radium3 platform next week. We know you are going to love this upgrade. The new toolbar makes a big improvement to the system. It's also a very noticeable visual change so we wanted to give you a heads up about what's coming. Please take a look through the exciting details below.
The new toolbar is designed to be sleek, compact and accessible. It takes up a lot less vertical space than our current toolbar -- 66% less to be exact. That means it gives you a better view of your website while you're in admin mode. Plus, the new toolbar remains fixed to the top of your browser so no matter how far you scroll down, you'll always have instant access to its controls.
Click the image above to see a larger view.
We've reorganized the toolbar options as well. A simple toggle control on the left edge allows you to switch between website options and store options without refreshing the page. This saves you time when moving between managing your store and managing your website. Your account controls have also been moved under the new user session menu (more on that menu below).
The previous toolbar had a third tier of controls that were related to page-level editing. Those controls have now been separated out to the all-new Page Bar. The Page Bar hovers over the top right of any page you're editing, but only when your mouse is over the page. The page bar displays the name of the current page's template and contains the fast template switcher, the "add a page" tool, the "preview page" button, and the "page settings" tool.
Left: the Page Bar overlaid in admin mode. Right: fast template switcher appears when its icon is clicked.
On the right edge of the toolbar, you'll see the new User Session Menu. It shows the name and image of the currently logged-in user. If the user has a gravatar, it will automatically use that image. Users can also upload their own images on their user profiles as well. The User Session Menu shows custom options based on the user who is logged in. All users will see a link to edit their profile in the User Session Menu. This means that non-admin users now have the ability to update their own profile information, a brand new capability with this update.
The User Session Menu with all options active (account-owner view).
Account owners will also find the link to the account section and billing section under the User Session Menu. All billing-related screens have been moved under the "Billing" menu item.
We're gearing up to launch these new features next Thursday, February 16th at approximately 9:30am CST (GMT-6). We're super excited about this incredible update, but it's actually just a first step toward even bigger things coming soon. There's so much good stuff on the way. As always, we appreciate all of your support and look forward to continuing serve as your partner.

The Atlantic, a media company with 150-year-old magazine at its center, is dipping a toe in the ebook business.
It released its third ebook today, The Best Writing From the Atlantic's Technology Channel, an aptly named compendium of technology reporting by senior editor Alexis Madrigal and other regular contributors. Madrigal also managed the project and helped edit the book, which is available on TheAtlantic.com for free from today until the end of the year, at which point it will go on sale at major ebook retailers for $1.99. The Atlantic used Pressbooks to produce the ebook.
The company had previously published two other ebooks, The Obama Presidency, Explained by James Fallows (an article that Fallows developed into an ebook) and The Civil War, a commemorative edition of the magazine that included both old and new material. The Obama book came out in Aug. and is for sale at major ebook retailers for $1.99 and the Civil War book came out earlier in Dec. and is $5.99.
These three titles are just the beginning for The Atlantic.
"We're planning a lot more on this score, including original long-form content," said Madrigal.
The Atlantic joins a growing chorus of non-book-publishing media companies to produce ebooks. Most recently, USA Today published USA Tomorrow, a collection of expert predictions about the future of America. Harlequin and Cosmopolitan magazine inked a deal to publish several ebooks a month together. Newsweek/Daily Beast entered into a partnership with Vook to publish ebooks. Playboy launched a series of shorts for the Kindle, the Washington Post announced an e-book program, and the Chronicle of Higher Education, a trade publication focused on the higher education field, launched an e-book business. Other notable companies to jump into the space are magazine publishers Conde Nast and Hearst and NBC News, a division of NBC Universal. And the Wall Street Journal has recently rejuvenated its e-book program.

NHTSA Investigates Audi Sedans
Reuters is reporting that The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday it had opened an investigation of 210,626 Audi sedans after two reports of pedals breaking, including one accident linked to two fatalities.
NHTSA said the complaints alleged a bracket connecting the pedals to the instrument panel failed on 1998 to 2001 A4 and A6 sedans. The agency said Audi parent Volkswagen AG had issued no technical bulletins on such a problem and that the agency had received no similar complaints on other vehicles.
A preliminary investigation is the first step taken by the agency into consumer complaints. If it determines the problem needs further study, the investigation can be upgraded to an engineering analysis. A Volkswagen spokesman said he had no further information about the complaints.

No matter if you just started your search or have narrowed your selection, you likely have questions about senior care or retirement homes. From our experience in helping many families, we have answers to many of those questions. Below are answers to the most FAQs we hear from families:
Though at times used interchangeably, there is a real difference. A "nursing home" casually describes a 24-hour skilled nursing facility for seniors who need constant supervision and medical support. It is typically more hospital-like than a retirement community since the staff administers healthcare assistance. A "retirement community" offers one or more life stage services such as independent living, personal care, memory care or rehabilitation. Residents vary in their assistance levels but do not require full medical attention. Some retirement communities do offer skilled care as part of their services on the same campus but even then, that area of the building or campus is dedicated to 24-hour medical assistance.
Depends on the state. In Maryland only Assisted Living is available (as offered at our Frederick, MD community). In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, each has its own licensure requirements: Assisted Living Residences are licensed by the Office of Long-Term Living while Personal Care Homes by the Department of Public Welfare. Essentially they differ in three ways: concept, construction and level of care. An assisted living community can care for a resident longer as he or she ages in place ("concept") before skilled nursing care is necessary. But in order to do so, the community must build out its construction accordingly and have additional staff assistance to provide that higher level of care.
In reality, many larger personal care homes (like Country Meadows) meet most of the assisted living residence requirements but haven't made the switch. Before applying we are awaiting additional state guidelines for we are concerned about the increased costs associated with such services as well as the inevitable increase in service charges required to support them.
We offer different levels of care, each at different rates to accommodate many needs. We welcome the chance to review what you're looking for to then quote the appropriate level of care. Contact one of our communities any day of the week to review your needs.
Costs for living in a retirement community are not covered by Medicare as they are "private pay" (the resident is responsible for payment). For eligible residents* living in a skilled nursing facility, a portion of a care is covered by Medicare A:
*Based on eligibility. Coverage is not guaranteed.
No—we offer all-rental month-to-month apartments with no buy-in fee.
We offer a range of apartment styles in many configurations. We work with families to find the best fit. Contact one of our communities any day of the week to review your preferences and the respective floor plan options.
Yes—we offer special shared living options, allowing spouses with different care needs to stay together whether it's living independently with your spouse in Assisted Living or Personal Care, supporting a spouse's early-stage memory loss in Assisted Living or Personal Care or staying together in a secure Memory Care neighborhood. Schedule a personalized visit to see the different options yourself.
Certainly. For your added convenience, we offer transportation to shopping, doctors' appointments, churches/synagogues and other destinations.
Not only do we accept them, we welcome them! In fact we have on-campus Pet Care Coordinators to help with your pet caregiving while away on vacation or at any time you need an extra hand. Click here for details on our Pet Care Program.
When evaluating your options, there should be a balance of practical considerations with quality measures. To help, check out these useful tips.
While these are FAQs, you may have other questions more specific to your circumstances. Feel free to contact our team any day of the week—we're here to help you however we can.

We've been together for a year and he has only said he "really likes me". He's a shy guy and typically doesn't express his emotions well, however, I know he has told at least one ex that he loved her, so I feel inadequate when all I'm hearing from him is "I like you." So last time he said that, I jokingly said "no you don't" and he said "maybe it's more than that..." then the subject of our conversation changed (ugh!). Recently he told me he cares about me more than he has ever cared about a girl and he's worried about me leaving him because he thinks I can do better. I reassured him that he is all I want and I'm not going anywhere. So now he seems to be gradually opening up about how he feels. This weekend he cuddled up with me and started telling me all of these things he's never said before, telling me his life revolves around me, he thinks about me constantly and I'm in most of his dreams... "you're the most beautiful person I know", "I don't know what I'd do if you ever left me," "I've spent most of my life in these long bouts of depression... and now that I have you I can't be unhappy, just thinking about you and knowing that you're somewhere thinking about me." He told me how important it is to him that I am comfortable and happy in every way. He even told me if I stay the way I am, he'll never have to look for a girlfriend ever again.
I think he might be in love with me, but I don't know if I'm reading this all wrong. Do you think he is? And if he is, why can't he say it?
Most Helpful Girl
He could just be scared. My boyfriend, who I have been with for a little over a year..still hasn't said "I love you"..but, I am not going to push it. He has loved one girl in his whole life..But, she cheated on him and hurt him really bad. So, my guess with my boyfriend and your boyfriend, is that they are afraid of loving another person..and want to make sure that you will not hurt him like he was hurt before...for example, just breaking up with him..or cheating...and etc. I think he does love you...but, he may be scared to say it yet. He may also get his moments where he withdraws himself...I know my boyfriend does. I think its his way of protecting himself. He feels these feelings that he loves, and gets scared..so he backs off. I am not sure if your boyfriend does this..but if he does..it might be the same situation as mine. My boyfriend dated his last girlfriend for 2 years! And still didn't tell her that he loved her! I guess some people just need time...Good luck.
P.S- I wouldn't push it though, for him to say it. And, it might help, if you casually say it to him.00|00|0
I think you might be right
If I am..he will come around. It may take some time...but he will :-)
sry to interfere with that question, but I couldn't help it when I read your comment, I am in the same situation exactly with my b.f, he had an ex g.f , she was the only girl he loved..and she cheated on him..
my question here is how do you treat your b.f? I mean you say you dnt push him to say he loves u.. so how do you deal with him to ensure he's moving on..n not just taking you for granted..and how do you find the patience in doing so?

Montreal: Sports federations, including soccer's world governing body FIFA, are concerned by the length of suspensions proposed in a new anti-doping code and the possibility of being left liable for legal action, said World Anti-Doping Agency president Dick Pound. The first draft of the World Anti-Doping Code proposed worldwide harmonisation of testing and punishments. It is designed to be operating in time for the 2004 Olympics.
London: Dwight Yorke and Damien Duff goals gave Blackburn a 2-0 Premier League win over West Brom on Monday night which was tempered when Yorke limped off injured.
Washington: Michael Jordan, who has announced he will play on in the NBA this year, has said he isn't yet ready to give up his Washington starting position.

Miami, Florida: A Florida Marlins employee was allegedly asked by a Montreal staffer to place a padlocked bag containing 2.2kg of marijuana aboard the team's charter flight from Montreal. Carlos Luis Perez, a former Marlins bullpen catcher now with the Expos, asked Florida video coordinator Cullen McRae before last Thursday's game in Montreal to bring the bag back to Pro Player Stadium in Miami. Perez was arrested on Friday, charged with possession with intent to export, pleaded not guilty and was conditionally released on a $US5000 ($A9219) bond.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Pavlovski, Branko Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-01202012-123829 Title William Blayney - Clarinetist and Teacher, Contributions and Influences on Clarinet Playing in the Twenty-First Century Degree Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) Department Music Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title DiLutis, Robert Committee Chair Bartolome, Sarah Committee Member Campbell, Griffin Committee Member Riazuelo, Carlos Committee Member Richardson, Malcolm Dean's Representative Keywords
- William Blayney
- clarinet pedagogy
- French clarinet school
- historical recordings
- contribution and influence
Date of Defense 2011-09-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study was undertaken to document the life and teaching of the American clarinetist William Blayney who was noted for the beauty of his tone and expressive playing. He is representative of the French clarinet school, and through his teaching he carries on this tradition of fine clarinet playing to another generation in the United States. Blayney's wide range of experience extends from playing with the Atlanta and Seattle symphonies, to opera and ballet companies in New York, Atlanta, Baltimore and Seattle, to playing on Broadway and on movie soundtracks such as Die Hard III and Disney Studio re-scorings of classical cartoons. Blayney has taught at the Peabody Conservatory Preparatory Department, Baltimore School for Performing Arts, and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC.)
The purpose of this study was to present Blayney's teaching approach to clarinet and his contribution to the dissemination of the French school's pedagogical ideas, as well as his influence on today's clarinetist throughout United States. This study can be useful to the clarinetist who wants to develop a good tone as a foundation, on which he can build other aspects of his playing such as legato, articulation, phrasing, and technical facility.
The monograph consists of six chapters. Chapter one presents a short history of the French school of clarinet playing and its influence in the United States. Chapter two provides biographical information about William Blayney concentrating on his education, performing and teaching career. Chapter three examines the significant influences of his teachers, Donald Blayney, Ignatius Genussa and David Weber. Chapter four researches his interest in historical recordings and the recorded legacy of the greatest clarinetists of the Twentieth-century. Chapter five summarizes the essentials of Blayney's teaching. The document concludes with a bibliography and appendices.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/12/2011 (2058 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO — How can workers in the taxi industry protect themselves from sexual assault allegations as well as keep their passengers from being victimized? Industry insiders provide a range of answers.
The Free Press has published a series on the issue this week, looking at how sexual assault allegations affect drivers, passengers and the industry.
About 12 women have sought medical help in Winnipeg during the last two years after alleging they were attacked by cabbies, but officials and people within the industry say such incidents are not prevalent.
Dave Barnes, an entrepreneur in Saint John, N.B., plans to launch a business this year involving cabs driven by women. The idea made headlines in the Maritimes this week, and Barnes said a fleet could be on the road before March.
"It's definitely going to be a small niche market but hopefully we can grow it," he said.
Barnes said women have been positive about the concept and he has chatted with his 21-year-old daughter about the idea.
"She got into a couple of cabs there with some guys and immediately had 'Oh no' moments," he said.
The concept is not specifically in response to sexual assault, he said.
"I know that there are some women who feel uncomfortable getting in a cab with a man," he said.
Others have alternative ideas. Gerry Manley, a taxi safety expert and former Toronto police officer, has considered cameras and global positioning systems in vehicles.
Manley, who's also owned a cab for more than 35 years, said it is rare for drivers to sexually assault passengers. He said, however, he thinks cab drivers should live in Canada for at least three years before they're allowed to apply to be taxi drivers.
He said in Toronto "probably" about 90 per cent of drivers are new Canadians. "They do not know our social customs. They do not want to accept our social customs. Part of the problem (is) women in their cultures back home don't have rights."
The Taxicab Board of Manitoba knows first-hand the difficulties when discussing drivers' cultural differences and how they should adapt to Canadian society.
In 2010, the issue led to Jerry Kozubal, the board's secretary, being transferred after he discussed an alleged sexual assault case with the media. He was removed from this post for saying to reporters: "Basically, we have people coming from other cultures that may have different views on what's appropriate and what isn't."
The confined space in a taxi is another issue drivers face, Manley said. That's where cameras play an important role.
"Would this happen in an open space that has 2,000 square feet? Highly unlikely, because there's going to be more than just the two people," he said. "So it's limited people that are involved here, there's only the accused and the accuser.
"There isn't anyone else that can vouch for it, that it happened one way or the other."
In Manitoba, new drivers must complete 45 hours of training, including education on customer relations.
Steve Ashton, minister of infrastructure and transportation, said drivers accused of sexually assaulting passengers are dealt with through the criminal justice system and by the taxi board, which suspends cabbies immediately after a complaint to police.
He said the "vast majority of taxi drivers, the vast majority of trips involve no incident whatsoever."
"We take a zero-tolerance approach," he said.

Roms said Obama was a nice guy just a few days ago. Roms is not going to campaign agaisnt Obama.
The RNC head Rence Priebus said there wouldbe no personal mention anything regarding Obama.
So that is game set match Listen toMSNBC. They talk glowingly of romney. You can't believe your ears.
But once the Nom is in and the convention is over , you won't and romney won't even know who he is, it will be so savage. A fin man like Justice Alito was raked over the coals to the extent that his wfe cried at the whole scene.
But Obama a nice guy, right ? and the RNC will do nothing in the campaign to win. right?

If you posters on this thread really love this country, you'll vote for Spongebob or Mickey Mouse for president if he is the republican nominee. I'm not kidding. "Keep your eyes on the prize" – we have to defeat Obama and the liberal-socialist-redistributionist machine. Everything else is meaningless.
You will have no other choice if you want the Republicans to win. You'll have to vote for Ron Paul… the only conservative candidate who wants to follow the Constitution… and the only one who can beat the illegal alien POTUS. Military people want Ron Paul, so please, respect your troops.

I'm with you. I like a candidate who won't change his position due to a change in the direction of the wind.
Newt has proven time and again that when the going gets tough, he goes off into a dark wet corner and cries. You don't lose 50% of your support because a TV commercial contains big meany negative massages. You LOSE because there is enough substantial truth to commericals to effectively change voter minds.

And quite frankly, I'm not inclined to vote for an anti-Semite.

Ladue Pundit commented:
"I wonder who Romney has in store for his running mate".
Apparently it is Republican governor Terry Branstad who advised voters to ignore a Paul victory in Iowa:
Other establishment GOP figures quickly piled on, and suddenly, the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses matter not, according to GOP talking points, if Ron Paul wins. Iowa Republican governor Terry Branstad advised voters to ignore a Paul victory in Iowa: "'People are going to look at who comes in second and who comes in third,' said Branstad, adding, 'If [Mitt] Romney comes in a strong second, it definitely helps him going into New Hampshire and the other states.'" (Coincidentally, Branstad is rumored to be one of Romney's expedient targets for vice president.)

Obamas regulation destroy jobs
Anyone but America destroyer Obama and his job killers Lisa Jackson..
The majority of the GOP gave Obama the permission to detain and hold indefinitely American citizens.
I owe them no allegiance.
I will not vote for Romneycare.
Lady Mondegreen
Gingrich is not an option. He has made too many personal enemies in both parties and there are too many Republicans who would like nothing more than to kick him in the teeth. I think Romney is a stuffed shirt, but he's right about one thing: Gingrich is a champion whiner.
Although my name is Craig I am a little girl.
Craig, the Crazy Canuck, wants us to support Ron Paul. He says Ron Paul will get things done. Perhaps Craig, the Crazy Canuck, would like to share with us all the names of the bills that Ron Paul has written, and gotten passed, in his every too long 23 years in the Congress?
Come on, Craig, any devotee of Paul's should know those bills. Or did Alex Jones never tell you what they were?
I watched this interviewed and it was hard to sit through! Romney is oil slick and something is wrong with his whole scene. And… after Newt was interviewed, he said one thing that stuck… "Mitt will say anything in campaign mode but the truth is, he's a moderate Repub. who leans left". Folks, we're in trouble here with Romney. No on Romney!

Sickofobama commented:
The majority of the GOP gave Obama the permission to detain and hold indefinitely American citizens."
They did not do that. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 contains a background section (Section 1031) describing the underlying legislation (Public Law 107–40)
This section explicitly does not change PL 107-40:
"(d) CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section is in- tended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force."
or other existing law:
"(e) AUTHORITIES.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities, relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States."
Section 1032 specifically provides that the NDAA 2012 does not apply to US citizens or legal residents:
"(b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The require- ment to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—The require- ment to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States."
Lindsey Graham was right. This legislation does not apply to US citizens. It never did. Its purpose was to deal with the GITMO detainees, and it contains explicit language saying that it does not apply to US citizens.
Following the legislation can be difficult, but it wasn't in this case. People who think they can rip out one clause of a piece of legislation without reading the rest of it are simply wrong. Rand Paul made a fool of himself. So did Judge Napolitano, among others. There's also some inept website that bought into this, one that purports to alert citizens to problems with legislation. It's obviously run by people who don't bother to verify the basics. Shame on them.

Lady Mondegreen commented:
You'd like Newt Gingrich a whole lot better if you visited his website or watched some of his actual speeches on U-Tube.
Then, just for fun, you could compare what Newt said with what a bunch of paid liars like Rachel Maddow have said he said.
I did that, and I sent the links I found about Newt Gingrich and education, that is his speeches, and how egregiously Rachel Maddow mischaracterized them, and I sent them to a Rachel Maddow fan.
Mitt Romney is right – Newt has whined all year long.
But then, con artists of Newt's caliber seldom know how to suck it up and take blame for their own failings.
Those who come in the category of "There is nothing wrong with what I DID – but you are awful for telling on me!" – such as Newt, were never meant for Public Office.
Anyone will like Newt better if they listen to his speeches and ignore his RECORD of ACTIVITIES.
Too bad I saw him LIVE laughing at Sean Hannity for 45 MINUTES at the stupidity of Southern Border Security as he PROMOTED the "PRAGMATIC" SOLUTION of the McCain Kennedy SHAMNESTY bill. Only reason he didn't laugh the SOLID HOUR is because Sean covered one other story in the last segment.
His pretty speeches don't mean a cotton-picking thing to me – any more than they should to Wife #4.
He'll sell anything for any client.
Mitt is a Liberal. He might win the Primaries, but he is still LEFT of the Bushes and in the category on the WRONG SIDE of the Gerald Ford/Robert Dole/ John McCain line.
We've long passed the Line where "The Lesser of Two Evils" has any benefit to this nation.
Ron Paul is a lunatic and no more of a Constitution supporter than Newt Gingrich is – his stances on Iran, WW2 Hitler, Israel, mind-altering highly addictive drugs and their Middle Eastern Muslim suppliers, and his Pacifist Ways makes him someone who would definitely destroy the Constitution. Ron Paul is a Rasputin of his day – as in "Debauched Charlatan".
"Pacifists are among the most immoral of men. They make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have!" – Patrick Henry
I agree with you. People don't bother to read it, they just grab the tag line or the sound byte. That's why we have to be careful who we listen to.
Disagree. The lib media may twist it around on Newt, but Newt is his own worst enemy. He can't deny that global warming sofa scene with Pelosi. Nobody's twisting that. He took it upon himself to refer to Paul Ryan's plan as right-wing social engineering. Yeah, he walked it back after the media frenzy, but that is just because it had already accomplished the goal (namely, getting his name back in the papers).
Newt as much as declared himself the nominee a month ago.
He said Romney would buy the election if he could. When pressed on the question of whether he thought Romney was trying to buy the election, he said "I didn't say that. I said he would if he could." What kind of mealy-mouthed double-talk is that. He wants the big gotcha lines that get him into the news, but then he doesn't want the blowback.
Seems like he'd have made the connection by now, seeing as how he is the "smartest guy in the room".
Me say something dumb – people get mad – me try to re-word what me said – people not forget the first dumb thing me said
BTW, Romney would buy the election if he could (I agree) but what was Newt trying to buy with $100K purchases at Tiffany's? What does $100K make up for that $10K doesn't? If he and Calista ever split, I bet some good stories will come out.
I liked it better when you were in jail and this forum was only inhabited by thinking people.
Or were you stuck on a melting glacier with a polar bear?
Or were you stuck in a vat of maple syrup?
Or were you off helping Iran develop their nukes to apologize to the Middle East for Canada's involvement in the war on terror. Never mind. I know that can't be right.

"you gotta have broad shoulders"
Right up until we do not vote for your lying crud. Right. Drop dead GOP.
I already have no appetite for voting for Romney's liberal ass. Then he saturates Iowa with anti-Newt ads, and when Newt finally announces he's preparing to return fire, Romney accuses Gingrich of whining. What a jackass.
I am old enough to remember when Newt was in the House. He was whining then, and he's whining still. He is completely disorganized and undisciplined (unless Calista is calling the shots) and I would never want to think he was making decisions of world importance.
I have written a scene for the movie about Mitt's run to the White House. It is the day before Iowa. A campaign worker comes into his room at the back of the bus with a smile on his face. Mitt looks up and sees the smile. The campaign manager just stands there with the grin but doesn't say anything. Mitt pipes up:
"Newt is calling you a liar."
"No," Mitt says incredulous. "Did he use the word himself?"
"Pretty much." says the campaign worker. "All the head lines are saying he is calling you a liar."
Mitt chuckles. "I guess he has finally lost it. Newt was pretty much off the radar anyway. Now we can completely cross him off as a serious candidate."
"Exactly," says the campaign manager, "We can tell the super pac to kill the Newt ads in South Carolina."
"Now, Now," says Mitt with a smile. They both look at each other and laugh at the inside joke. The campaign workers says, "I suspect they will know what to do with the ad budget on their own."
The scene ends as the campaign worker reminds Mitt of his next scheduled event as he walks out of the room.
J Descartes
Exactly what problem or adversity has Romney ever had to deal with?
During his military service?
Struggling with poverty?
Having to make sacrifices to attend school or make ends meet?
Or was it having to choose between vacation in Maui or Graz?

AUSTRALIAN international Aaron Mooy is enjoying life back in his native Sydney after a move to the A-League earlier this year.
The attacking midfielder swapped his home town for Wanderers in 2006 as a 16-year-old but is now plying his trade with a different Wanderers – the Sydney version – after leaving Scottish outfit St Mirren in the close season.
And the former Whites youngster says the move has provided more regular football Down Under as well as a chance with the senior national side.
The 22-year-old said: "It really has turned out to be a great move.
"I never thought I'd come back home and end up in the Socceroos.
"Things have been going really well for me at the moment. When I was in Scotland, I was a bit frustrated because I wasn't playing much.
"But I've been given a really great opportunity to get regular game time at the Wanderers.
"So now I'm just enjoying my football more than ever and I'm really happy to be back around my family."
