King Edward's School, Witley is an independent co-educational boarding and day school, founded in 1553 by King Edward VI and Nicholas Ridley. The School is located in the village of Wormley (near Witley), Surrey, England, having moved to its present location in 1867.[1] The School became fully co-educational in 1952.[1] As of September 2010, the school has joined the small number of independent schools in the UK which offer the IB Diploma Programme in place of A-Levels in the Sixth form. The School is re-introducing A-Levels as part of the curriculum from September 2015.
The School was originally founded as Bridewell Royal Hospital, after Nicholas Ridley preached to Edward VI to give some of his empty palaces over to the City of London (governed by the City of London Corporation) to house homeless women and children.
The school was commandeered by the Royal Navy during the Second World War to test and develop the use of radar. The school still remembers this with a plaque in the central area, a junction of corridors known as 'Piccadilly'. The President of Bridewell Royal Hospital (the title was kept after the move of location) is now The Duchess of Gloucester, appointed from 1 January 2006. The Queen Mother held the title from 1953 to 2002. The school's creation was sanctioned by the same charter as that of Christ's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital. The school maintains strong links with the City of London, and is still supported by it, with some students on bursaries funded by the City. As of the academic year 2013/14 Senior School day fees are £19,470 per year, with Senior School boarding fees £27,825 per year, though a number of bursaries and scholarships are available.[2]
Boarding houses[edit]
There are eight functioning houses in total, four male and four female. The boarding houses at the school are paired, and, in the case of the senior pupils, conjoined in the centre of the buildings. This central area (known as the 'Accy Area', from activity area) allows the boys and girls from the paired houses to meet in the evenings and during spare time; to chat, watch television or a DVD, or play pool or table football. The right-hand half of the iconic front building of the school is used as Copeland House, the junior girls boarding house, while Queen Mary House was formerly a care home for the mentally ill and then the school sanatorium, until later becoming the junior boys boarding house.
The senior houses were built in the 1970s, and the plans can be seen in the School Museum, housed in the History Department. Boarders moved into these new buildings in Autumn 1976 and the inauguration was commemorated by a visit from HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
The houses, in their pairs, are:
- Queen Mary House - Queen Mary was President of the school from 1940 until 1953. The junior boys' house, known as QMH.
- Copeland – The junior girls' house, named after Lt. Col. Alfred J. Copeland, Treasurer from 1885 to 1896, and again 1900 to 1920. This forms part of the façade of the school.
- Wakefield – After Charles Wakefield, 1st Viscount Wakefield, President and benefactor from 1916 to 1940.
- Elizabeth – After Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, President of Bridewell Royal Hospital from 1953 to 2002. She visited the school four times; 1958, 1965, 1976 and 1991.
- Edward – After King Edward VI, the founder.
- Tudor – After The House of Tudor, the current royal family at the time of the school's founding.
- Grafton – After Richard Grafton, MP, printer and historian. The first Treasurer of Bridewell Royal Hospital.
- Queens' - After the two queens who have been Presidents (Mary and Elizabeth).
- Ridley – Named after Bishop Nicholas Ridley, who preached to King Edward to request Bridewell Palace to be given to the City of London for charitable purposes. This house was unused for a number of years, but re-opened September 2013 having undergone extensive refurbishment.
- St Bridget's – Saint Brigid of Kildare was a 5th-century Irish saint who is associated with a well which gave its name to the church of St. Bride and then to the palace, Bridewell Palace, built by Henry VIII. Currently not in use pending renovation or reconstruction.
The school has a very competitive atmosphere between all of the houses. They compete in different competitions and challenges such as House Drama, House Music, Sports Day and other various sporting and academic events. These all allow the winning houses to accumulate points for the Cock House Cup, which is awarded to the house with the most points at the end of the School Year.
The current holders of the Cock House Cup are Wakefield House and Tudor House.
School publications[edit]
The school has its own magazine, The Edwardian, which it publishes yearly. There is a short school newsletter, KEStrel, published bi-annually, that incorporates recent school events and news.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").
Blu-Ray Review: 'Burn After Reading' Hilarious Movie, Horrible Blu-Ray
CHICAGO – It's impossible for a critic to thoroughly defend something he finds funny but fully realizes that a large majority of the audience may not. Sometimes a film just hits your funny bone in right way. "Burn After Reading" does so for me, but may not for audiences without a little bit of a mean streak.
Fitting snugly into the Coen Brothers' resume of slightly-demented comedies, "Burn After Reading" disappointed audiences expecting "No Country For Old Men 2", but like "Raising Arizona", "The Hudsucker Proxy", and "The Big Lebowski", should have an extensive life on the home market.
Every time the Coens have made a "serious" movie, they've followed it with a lark of a comedy. "Arizona" came after "Blood Simple", "Hudsucker" followed "Barton Fink", and "Lebowski" was an odd choice after "Fargo". They've all thrown audiences for a loop. It happened again with "Burn After Reading", a dark, vicious comedy about people who think they understand espionage because they've seen a lot of spy movies. The Coens have often been accused of making fun of their characters and I've usually defended them as laughing with their lead. Not this time. They're laughing at these morons.
The morons in question include an all-star cast headed by Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Richard Jenkins, J.K. Simmons, and John Malkovich. The entire ensemble is clearly having a blast and it's infectious. Some critics were upset at not being able to find the deeper meaning in a story about a disc of government secrets that makes its way into the hands of some stupid fitness experts. Guess what? There is no deeper meaning. That's the point. Just have fun with "Burn After Reading".
Perhaps Universal knows they have an eventual cult hit and held back the special features for an inevitable special edition but that kind of double-dipping is getting really old. Universal has been consistently releasing the most comprehensive and well organized Blu-Rays of the season, so we'll forgive "Burn After Reading" as the exception. Special features? Three lonely featurettes - "Finding the Burn", "DC Insiders Run Amuck", and "Welcome Back, George" - don't really qualify as "special", especially considering they run less than twenty minutes COMBINED.
"Burn After Reading" does include Universal's BD-Live functionality that allows viewers to cut their favorite scenes and send them but this common addition doesn't really qualify as a special feature. It's really just bookmarking with an internet connection.
Technically, "Burn After Reading" looks and sounds great with a 1080p HD Widescreen transfer in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio and an audio track an English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Both the video and audio won't be used to show off new home theaters, but are also never distracting.
Universal clearly intended the Blu-Ray release of "Burn After Reading" to be a rental. If they wanted more purchases, they would have put more effort into the special features. Luckily, the movie itself is funny enough to make the dearth of bonuses easier to overlook.

Amy P - Dec 3, 2014
I went to visit Paul for the first time yesterday. I have been to several other acupuncturists, however I was referred to Paul specifically for a back injury. His approach to acupuncture is very different to any other practitioner that I have worked with. He is an expert with musculoskeletal physiology. I would definitely recommend him to any one with an athletic injury who is looking for an alternative pain solution. He is professional and knowledgable and I felt great after my treatment!

Nick's Pizza: Made in Oakland, Opening on Tuesday (5/8)

A friend in the nabe just tweeted that Nick's Pizza will be opening on Tuesday, May 8. It's announced on the FB page too.
Background on owner/chef, Nick Yapor-Cox, here,
He'll offer delivery, take-out and eat-in slices and whole pies made with seasonal ingredients.
Opening day menu
Nick's Pizza: Made in Oakland
6211 Shattuck Ave Oakland, Ca (510)658-3903
Tues-Saturday 11am-9pm (Delivery after 5pm)
Online ordering will be available through GrubHub.com
With the recent opening of Hot Italian in Emeryville ( http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/846998 ), Gioia's expansion to San Francisco ( http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_det... ), Rosso Pizzeria and Mozzarella Bar in Petaluma set to open in Petaluma in a week ( http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7329... ), Mozzeria ( http://mozzeria.com/ ), and Del Populo's massive truck roaming the streets ( http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/... ), the Bay Area's pizza craze continues. Did I miss any?
re: Pius Avocado III
Arizmendi pizza uses a sourdough crust, and they are pretty popular. when did 'theTown' become vernacular for oaktown, is that new ?

I suspect "oaklandstylepizza.com" was just a URL that hadn't been bought up already, like nickspizzaoakland.com.

re: Pius Avocado III
Yeah, I find that extremely annoying.. an pretentious and trying to market to some kind of hipster demographic.
re: Robert Lauriston
Not likely, but I can BART and drive. The point is, I would rather BART/bus to North Beach for a simple Margherita than walk across the street for a California-style pizza.
tried slices of the roasted mushroom and spring fling? toppings anemic and not so flavorful. crusty kind of doughy, crust tasted good.
chocolate cookie wonderbar! sweet, crunchy, chewy.0 -
re: shanghaikid
I thought the Spring Fling was pretty blah ... the cheese and crust were ok, but 'anemic' is a decent description of the overall product. Best to just stick with CHEESEBOARD for veg.
I liked the pepperoni more than I expected upon getting my slice. It is definitely a bit different in style ... news to me this is "oakland style" or whatever. The tomato chenck worked well with the pep ... and of course cheeseboard doesnt have meat, so no comparison there ... BTW, I am comparing to CHEESEBOARD only because this is a small, presumably higher quality tpye slice than the large Blondies/FatSlice type option. I may be in the miniroty among not liking Gioia pep slice because it is crazy salty. This was not. It could have used say 10% more pepperoni.
I'll prbably make it an occasional alternative to Cheeseboard ... it is close enough to my lab and easy to park.
re: Melanie Wong
Melanie -- have you ever tried East End? All their pizzas are veggie, with the option of adding meat. As I posted below, today's special is fire roasted asparagus!
re: Ruth Lafler
That's funny, I never noticed the vegetarian slant at East End. I guess I just read the chalkboard the other way around, with the lower prices leaving off the meat rather than the higher prices adding it.
re: Robert Lauriston
The difference to me is that a veggie pizza is designed to be "complete" without meat, which is not the same as leaving the meat off a pizza designed with meat. I actually like the Diablita better without meat.
re: Ruth Lafler
In what way is any pizza not "complete" with what it has on it? Minimally, I guess you need cheese and some sort of sauce? on dough.
Actually, I'm a lot more excited about Gioia opening in the city with pasta! In my old stomping grounds and near my friend Dr. Kayo's bookstore. We might go Saturday for rigatoni! In my half dozen trips to NYC I never went to John's and only had pizza at a place on Columbus, Gioia's pizza pie is what I dream NY pizza should be like. Love the current Julien: prosciutto, red onion, aged provolone. And the funghi is way complete without meat and a close 2nd best for me.
re: chocolatetartguy
I can't wait for dinner. Going for lunch Saturday. They have a DeNic's style roast pork, broccoli rabe, provolone sandwich and a muffaletta with mortadella and salami. Will Gioia is no one trick pony!
0 -
re: chocolatetartguy
As I said "designed" to be complete, as in balanced and harmonious, without the sense of something being missing.
re: Ruth Lafler
I dunno, seems like marketing to me. All the pizzas are available in two versions, with and without meat. Some of them read to me like they were conceived with meat and the veg version is missing something, some the other way around. None of the meat pizzas I've had seemed like it had any extraneous ingredients.
0 -
re: Ruth Lafler
That's just marketing hype. Their Margherita is mozzerella and basil (and sauce) just like anywhere else. I haven't tried it yet, so won't judge the result, but their menu looks to be a little too "California" for my taste.
There's also East End Pizza just across the Park Street bridge in Alameda. This is a relatively new, little known but astoundingly good wood burning, thin crust pizza everyone needs to try! I get a slice at least two to three times a week.
re: mgarrison123
Welcome to the board. East End not so little known here.
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8306590 -
re: GH1618
I think you should. It really is one of the best pizzas around. they have a rotating menu based on what produce is in season in the marketplace. You can watch the entire pizza making process too, it's a lot of fun.
re: mgarrison123
It turns out that East End Pizza is in the Marketplace. That's not quite what I would call "just across the Park Street bridge."I
re: drewskiSF
It's four blocks from the bridge. For someone (such as myself) with a walking impairment, that's significant. And for someone driving, it is significant when the name "East End" cannot be seen and there are other pizza places nearby as well. "Marketplace at Park and Buena Vista" is the way I would describe the location.
I should have looked it up first, I know.
re: GH1618
Also, the speed limit in Alameda is 4mph and those 4 blocks are heavily patrolled by the cops, so it takes a while to get there.

Overcome depression nowOur Latest book |
where do emotions come from (the source of your emotions) By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
Where do emotions come from (the source of your emotions)Where do emotions come from? If you want to live a better live and become a happier person then you need to learn more about emotions and their sources so that you become able to control them. In this article i won't only tell you where do emotions come from but in addition i will tell you how to control them, experience better ones and get rid of the ones that bother you. where do emotions come from in the brainEmotions come from the subconscious mind. In order to understand the concept of the subconscious mind just consider it the part of your brain that manages all the things that you are not conscious of. While reading this article your heart is beating and you are breathing but you are not consciously doing these things because your subconscious mind is taking care of the process. That's why you might suddenly experience an emotion that you weren't expecting. You only become conscious of an emotion after the subconscious mind induces it. (see How the subconscious mind work) Your subconscious mind gathers the data, sorts facts, determines the suitable emotion that should be triggered and then it sends it to you. That's why you sometimes think that the emotion come out of no where. Its just that you weren't conscious when it was being prepared. Where do emotions come from, the psychology of emotionsIn my previous article How to understand your emotions i explained how the sole purpose of an emotion is to motivate you to reach a certain goal or to avoid a certain thing that can harm your well being. What do you usually do when your mobile phone signals low battery? You certainly charge it. Once you understand that emotions are the method of communication between your conscious and your subconscious mind you will find understanding them becoming an easier task. Emotions don't come out of nowhere as some people believe but they are signals sent with a certain purpose. (see How to be in control of your emotions) The source of your emotions and getting over unwanted onesIn my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression i said that the main source for bad and unwanted emotions is the bad habit people learned of ignoring the signals sent to them by their minds. Back to the mobile phone example, what will happen if you didn't charge the phone? or what will happen if you cleaned it instead of charging it? Certainly the problem won't be solved and the same exactly happens with your emotions when you don't respond to the signal. Instead of asking yourself where do emotions come from you should be asking yourself what's the purpose of these emotions. Once you understand the purpose of an emotion you will find out the message that your subconscious mind is trying to tell you and you will be able to act accordingly. If you are feeling anxious then respond to that emotion by preparing yourself even more The only way to get rid of an unwanted emotion is to understand its source, the purpose the subconscious mind is trying to reach and then respond to it.

Cupertino Planning Commission approves Apple's 'spaceship' campus
The countdown has started and the new Apple "spaceship" campus in Cupertino, Calif., is one step closer to launch. Last night, the Cupertino Planning Commission approved Apple's plans for the campus. Tuesday evening, the company provided a slick video presentation to the commission and the public featuring lead architect Norman Foster and others who have had leading roles in the design of the circular structure.
On October 15, the Cupertino city council will put the new campus to a vote, with a final vote expected on November 19. The project has grown in scope since first being announced by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs in 2011, growing from initially housing 6,000 employees to the current 14,000 employees. The campus is expected to cost close to US$5 billion at completion, much of that going into premium construction materials including six square kilometers of curved glass, stone-infused floors and ceilings made of polished concrete.

Fast TRACK to Harvard
5-time state track champ has 4.42 GPA
Less than 10 years later, Harris, who lives in Ama, is the owner of five state track championships and has his name on numerous school records at Jesuit High School. But as impressive as those athletic achievements are, Harris will soon embark on the most important journey of his career - that of a student-athlete at Harvard.
And hes not worried about balancing both academics and athletics at one of the toughest colleges in the world.
Because while Harris excels on the track, he has a 4.42 GPA, graduated Summa Cum Laude in the accelerated program and is a National Achievement Merit Scholar as well as a member of the National Honor Society.
Im confident that I will be able to do both well because my parents raised me to be about my business and showed me how to prioritize, Harris said. I have God-given abilities to do what Ive been called to do.
Race with P.E. teacher set stage for track career
Though it may be hard to imagine now, a simple race is what first got Harris involved in track. While at Boutte Christian Academy, Harris had an ongoing competition with his physical education teacher, David Raymond.
I would always challenge him to a race and he always said how fast I was, Harris said. Eventually I beat him, even though I think he let me win one of those times, and he always wanted me to run track.
When he was 9, Harris was encouraged by neighbor Norman Singleton Jr. to be a part of the St. Charles Striders, a local track team. From that point on, he was trained to take part in all track events under the tutelage of coaches Nat Henry and Ulysses Frontha. Harris liked the 100 meter, 200 meter and 400 meter dashes, but his favorite was the long jump.
In his first year of competition, he found himself in the Southern AAU Junior Olympics Regional Track Meet. Harris won the gold medal in the long jump by leaping 12 feet, 10 ¾ inches, breaking the previous regional record of 12 feet, 4 inches. He also placed third in the 200 meter dash and fourth in the 100 meter dash.
While Harris found astounding success in those races, the events that would allow him so much success in high school were forbidden to him at that age.
In AAU, young athletes arent able to participate in either hurdles or the triple jump until theyre 13. But four years after winning his first gold medal, Harris qualified in both events and became known as one of the top triple jumpers and hurdlers in the state.
Thats when his love affair with track began.
I just love to run, he said. I also like the fact that its more of a solo sport and you have to rely on yourself to do what you need to do. In track, you have to be good in all areas
you have to be the fastest and jump the farthest.
You cant make up for that in another way.
Championship talent
During his junior year at Jesuit, Harris would accomplish something that would change the direction of his life. He won his first state championship in the 110 meter hurdles.
That was the moment of enlightenment, Harris said. I realized that I was actually good at this.
But though that moment showed Harris that he had what it took to compete at the collegiate level, it was something he expected.
I was really happy with myself, but it wasnt a surprise to me because I had been training up to that point to win, he said. It was a sense of accomplishment because I worked hard for it.
And he set his goals even higher for his senior year.
I said, I won this event, lets see what I can win next, Harris said. I wanted to see how many more I could win and it was a challenge that spurred me on to these other events.
Harris father, Roy, said the state title automatically made his son a top contender his senior year.
When he won that first state championship, thats when people started getting interested in him, he said. He had a name now. He was the one that you had to beat.
Balancing school, athletics
Because of his academic record, Harris was already drawing interest from colleges across the country. He finished his senior year with a 4.42 GPA and was named a National Achievement Merit Scholar, received the Ubaldo Trelles Memorial Award for excellence in Spanish and was named a member of both the National Spanish Honor Society and the National Honor Society.
Those achievements led to schools such as Harvard, Cornell, Baylor, Georgia Tech and Tulane offering scholarships. In fact, Tulane offered Harris the schools Distinguished Scholars Award.
Not many people are able to make excellent grades while succeeding in athletics, but Harris said it came down to two things.
Its all about time management and prayer, he said.
Harris said most days he dealt with school work for four hours. Thats in addition to morning and afternoon track practice.
I would have morning workouts for track, have school then have track practice from 3:30 p.m. until 6 p.m., he said. I got home at around 7 p.m., watched a little bit of TV until around 8 p.m. and would study, write papers and do homework until midnight or 2 a.m. in the morning.
Harris would wake up the next day at 5 a.m. and do it all again.
It is crazy, but I adapted to it because I knew I had to do it to be the best that I can be, he said.
School records are meant to be broken
While keeping up with a busy workload, Harris was excelling on the track. During his senior year, he racked up 16 first place finishes during the regular season. But in his first outdoor state competition, Harris came in second in the 110 meter hurdles - an event he had won as a junior.
That was the one thing I was supposed to win and I came in second and lost by .04 seconds, Harris said. Because I thought I was going to win that one it really threw me off. I had to recollect myself and say, Thats done, move on and do your best in your next events.
Harris responded in the state meet by winning gold in both the triple jump and the 300 meter hurdles. Combined with his earlier indoor titles in the 55 meter hurdles and the indoor triple jump, Harris finished his senior season with four individual state championships.
All of his wins set school records at Jesuit, which has participated in athletics since 1847.
I hope the school records stay for a while, but I always want people to get better in the sport, Harris said.
Heading to Harvard
Harris will begin school at Harvard in August. He plans on running the 110 meter hurdles, the 60 meter hurdles and the triple jump in college. In academics, he hopes to excel in science so that he can become a biomedical engineer.
I wanted to be a doctor at first, but realized that it would be a lot of school, Harris said with a chuckle. Biomedical engineer will combine technology and medicine, two things that I love.
Though it seems like a perfect match because of Harris self-professed infatuation with how the body works, he will decide on his career after taking all of his classes.
Now, Harris is preparing to leave behind his family, including father, Roy, mother, Nelida, sister, Nicole and brother, Justin, as he ventures to school.
I really appreciate all that my parents have done for me because they have supported both my academics and track, Harris said. I also want to thank all my relatives and the Mt. Zion Baptist Church family for cheering me on and helping in my journey.
One thing Harris said hes not prepared for is the cold of Massachusetts.
In August, when you get there the Harvard campus looks majestic, he said. When you hit November, December, its cold. It still looks pretty, but Ill just stay inside.
I like it hot, so I think the weather will literally be the biggest adjustment I will have to make.

They're after Limbaugh and talk radio again, boy don't they hate opposition or somebody talking back to them, the new media is driving them insane. They can't compete in talk radio because the American people don't want to listen to them so they want to destroy all talk radio, vicious rotten bastards, "freedom" they scream then when anyone criticizes MoveON oh boy watch out when their enemy's try a little of that freedom stuff then out come the "CENSORS". Go get em Rush, give them a good slapping around and straighten out that sniveling little skunk Harry Reid. http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/democrats-go-after-limbaugh-2007-10-01.html :bricks:
lets all MOVE on.org Rush is a drug addict. Would you listen to a drug addict for advice and direction?
Harry Boy, you're defending a double standard! Move On was blasted for their General Betray Us ad; and now liberals and Democrats are daring the righties to apply the same standard to Rush. Just shows what hypocrites the righties are.
Which same standards Patte's. Moveon which is funded by Soros a major funding source for the dems posted an ad attempting to smear a man who was approved by a bipartisan vote in the Senate. He has done an outstanding job in his post. For example civilian deaths are down dramatically in Iraq as well as deaths of US troops. The attack on Limbaugh is totally dishonest whether you like Limbaugh or not. Limbaugh was commenting about people who were representing themselves as soldier who has served in combat, who had lied (some have been convicted and put in prison for their fraud). Reid dishonestly is trying to make it look as if he was attacking troops who are serving honorably. Although given the fraud committed by fake soldiers in the Winter soldier hearings, apparently the dems don't like their dishonest attacks on the integrity of our troops exposed, Unlike H Reid, J Kerry and J Martha, Limbaugh has helped raised money for the troops and given a lot of time to visiting the troops for something other than a political prop.
Bottom line is this is AMERICA Rush and moveon can say whatever the fukc they want. The problem is congress wasting time talking about people who talk about policy.
Just heard this one on the tv (didn't want to start a new thread). A manager at the Ford dealership in Georgetown, Texas took out an advertisement in the newspaper. Don't want WET BACKS. Then underneath, had a promotion for air conditioning. He got fired. Surprised he would even consider the ad, as the population in that area is so densely populated with Hispanics, among other obvious reasons.
Nope. But that's not why I don't listen to Limbaugh. I don't listen to him because he's a partisan idiot. That being said, WTF is going on in the Senate? Why are we wasting time on Rush Fricking Limbaugh? Is this what the Dems were promising when they were running in November? Seriously? Even the stupidity of wasting time on MoveOn is upsetting. Our government is so broken.
First of all, it's a waste of tax payer time in both instances. Secondly, I heard the Rush remarks and he was talking about the fony soldier J-something Macbeth. At any rate, the Moveon ad was utterly distasteful, but propogandzing it in the senate is a waste of my money. Talk abou it all you want OUTSIDE of the halls, just don't waste my money talking about it in them. I'm glad to see our money goes to kiddy games about I know you are but what am I. Some platform eh?
OK, who funds Moveon is irrelevent to it being discussed in the halls of congress. IT's A WASTE OF TAX PAYER MONEY AND TIME. That being said, the Rush remarks, as much as I dislike the man, were about ordinary people who lie about being a soldier. People which we've discussed in here. I saw Hardball tonight and was totally disappointed in Matthews dishonesty. The press in this country, on both sides, is disgusting. No one is honest anymore.
Ah, you're just rationalizing a double standard. I heard exactly what Rush said, and now the right is trying to spin it. Very dishonest, but that's nothing new. The right's hypocrisy on the double-standard issue is laughable, and the polls are showing you're fooling fewer and fewer people these days.
That's spin. You obviously didn't listen, or are only hearing what you want to hear to rationalize your double standard.
The fact that the guy who escaped the draft in 1970 by way of a pimple on his ***** calling anyone else a 'phoney soldier' is what we really ought to be talking about.
The guy the Troops should be worrying about is John Murtha not Rush Limbaugh The democrats just put Rush Limbaugh on the front page of every newspaper in the world (They Publicly Condemed Him) http://www.drudgereport.com/flashsr.htm The democrats have just started their "book burning" crusade, they are hell bent on Censoring, Condeming, and Outright Banning all of "Talk Radio" They tried to compete using Al Franken and Jeanne Garafool but the people rejected their smear hate crap and filthy gutter talk so now they want Talk Radio Banned. I am now beginning to understand why many in the Left Wing have these little Love Affairs with "Dictators" The democrats are now in the process of doing to Rush Limbaugh and Talk Radio exactly what Hitler, Chavez and Castro would do. :bricks:
. The Hard Left isn't quite dead, yet. They just changed their names. But they still want what they've always wanted: total control over everything. And when they get it (think: Russia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, etc.), they turn those places into mausoleums for living corpses. They trade "capitalist mega-billionaires" for "the peoples' care-takers of the wealth, the media (Thought Police), and all industry". Ha. What a load of manure. Try getting a dissenting opinion published in Russia these days. Or Iran. Or Cuba, Venezuela, or Zimbabwe. Or anywhere else the "anti-capitalist progressives" hold sway. And when you do, "good luck"; you're going to need it. //
Limbaugh Calls For Reid's Resignation: http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/limbaugh_harry_reid/2007/10/02/37465.html
They're trying the classic redirection strategy, attempting to deflect the disgusting remarks by moveon.org by turning the tables on Limbaugh. I don't mind the strategy itself, it's just too bad they are completely lying through their teeth. Rush has specifically laid out that when he talks about "phony soldiers," he is referring to the anti-war people who have become media sensations who completely lied about their involvement in Iraq. Notable examples of this are Scott Thomas Beauchamp, who got caught completely lying about writing diary entries from Iraq and Jesse MacBeth, who became the darling of the radical left for exposing all the horrible war crimes he personally witnessed in Iraq. Too bad the truth is MacBeth never made it out of boot camp. So what happens is someone who listens to a single soundbite of Limbaugh jumps to all the wrong conlusions over what his littler terms means. Throw in a dash of scumbag left wing lies, and this is what happens. Those are the people Rush calls "phony soldiers". Any attempt to distort that phrase is just gutless, reprehensible lies from the radical left.
Exactly, the Democrats took a beating on the MoveOn crap and now they are using Limbaugh to divert the attention, Limbaugh can be a pain in the a$s at times but that little weasel Reid and his gang of grinners better not underestimate Limbaugh he has millions of listeners and this could turn out even worse than the MoveOn junk. ________________________________________________________ Gen Petraeus For President
Spin, spin, spin, but you're not going to spin out of your double standard. MoveOn said something that you thought was wrong, but now you're defending Limbaugh for calling soldiers who disagree with policy "phonies." He was not referring to Jessie whats-his-name, though he is claiming that as part of the spin campaign. Lots of laughs to the double standard of the right. No wonder the right wing is losing ground: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2558297.ece

Passers-by pull family from burning car after crash
Last updated at 09:00, Monday, 21 April 2014
An off-duty paramedic has revealed how brave, quick-thinking passers-by pulled a family-of-five to safety from a burning car.
Graham Green was driving home after finishing a night shift and was around 300 yards behind one of the vehicles when the head-on crash happened on the A66 outside the White Horse Inn at Scales, near Threlkeld.
The Mercedes estate, in which a couple from Southampton and three children were travelling in, was involved in a collision with a westbound blue Ford pickup.
Still wearing his uniform, 49-year-old Graham ran to the scene to find smoke billowing from under the bonnet of the Mercedes.
Speaking to the News & Star, Graham said: "I could see smoke. At that point I didn't realise the brave people around the car had already got the three children out of the back of the car and they had been taken up to the pub.
"It wasn't until I was helping the mother in the front passenger seat and she was asking about her children that I was told where they were.
"After we managed to get her and the man out from the driver's side, we then went to get the older woman out of the pickup. Fairly shortly after that the whole car was engulfed with flames."
He added: "I'm not a hero; I get paid and am fully trained to deal with situations like this. The real heroes are those brave members of the public who got out of their cars and did what they did without a second thought."
Graham, who lives in Temple Sowerby, near Penrith and who is based at Keswick ambulance station, said: "I was asking people to do things like keep the heads of those from the cars still and comfort them.
"Because of what they were doing to help, I was able to assess and request the two helicopters and ambulances. It was only when I discovered about the children that a senior officer arrived and we decided that a third helicopter was called too."
He added: "There was no problem in getting any of them out of the cars because people had just done it without a thought of the danger to themselves.
"The public there were fantastic and they really are the ones that deserve a pat on the back."
The family was all dragged to safety before the fire spread to the car and grassy bank.
Yesterday they were all described as being in a stable condition in hospital following the dramatic rescue.
A sixth person – a 61-year-old Sheffield woman driving the Ford Ranger pickup – was also pulled from her vehicle.
Emergency services have been quick to praise those who helped.
Station manager Adrian Holme, of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Undoubtedly without the brave actions of these people who risked their own lives to help extract these six people from the wreckage of both vehicles, the impact of this collision we are dealing with could have been very different."
He also thanked the staff of the White Horse Inn who cared for the three children while efforts were made to free their parents and the second motorist.
Keen mountaineer Anthony Richardson, 30, from Woodstone Village in County Durham, was among those who helped.
About four cars behind the pickup, Mr Richardson was heading to Keswick for a day out with his mother and 10-year-old daughter.
The telecommunications consultant said: "There were a few people already there so I was running along the line of cars that had stopped shouting at them to see if anyone had fire extinguishers.
"We got some and took them back and helped bring it down a bit as we helped get the man out of the car. He was in a lot of pain and crying out for help. There was smoke billowing everywhere and the flames just got bigger and bigger.
"When we got the woman from the pickup, my mum was helping to comfort her and keep her conscious. She didn't have a clue what had happened to her."
He added: "The children had been in the back of the car and their screams of 'mum' and 'dad' are all I can hear."
Three air ambulances, three ambulances and three other specialist crews from the North West Ambulance Service, fire crews from Keswick and Penrith and police from Workington, Penrith and Cockermouth scrambled to the scene at about 9.25am on Saturday.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service sent two helicopters and a third was sent by the North West Air Ambulance Service from Blackpool.
The Mercedes driver, a 43-year-old man, was airlifted to the major trauma centre at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, where he arrived in a critical condition. Medics had to anaesthetise him at the scene because of the "significant chest injuries and multiple broken limbs" he sustained.
His 43-year-old wife, who was in the front passenger seat, was flown to the same hospital by the Pride of Cumbria helicopter. She sustained serious leg and abdominal injuries.
Two of their three children – a 14-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl – were taken to the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle with minor injuries.
The third child, a 10-year-old boy, was airlifted to the RVI.
The pickup driver was taken to the Cumberland Infirmary by road ambulance, suffering from minor injuries.
The road was closed for more than four hours.
At the height of the sun-soaked bank holiday weekend, the road closures led to heavy congestion on the routes around the crash site.
A cordon closed the A66 at the Rheged roundabout and streams of cars were diverted along country roads as motorists sought to find another route to the Lake District.
Police are appealing for anyone at the scene or witnesses to contact PC Phill Carruthers, of the Operational Support Unit, at Cumbria police on 101, quoting log 79 of April 19.

News Corp. to shutter The Daily on Dec. 15
The Daily will cease publication on Dec. 15, according to AllThingsD. News Corp.'s attempt at an iPad-based daily newspaper existed as an app, and lasted less than two years following a high-profile debut event in New York City that Apple participated in. News Corp. said that "Technology and other assists from The Daily, including some staff, will be folded into" the New York Post — about 120 employees work for The Daily. News Corp Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said in a press release, "From its launch, The Daily was a bold experiment in digital publishing and an amazing vehicle for innovation. Unfortunately, our experience was that we could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term." iLounge's review of The Daily noted major problems with both the user interface and content, mentioning that "[p]recious little in The Daily is written to appeal to college-educated people, and in the first two editions, a surprising amount of it had been written or edited into a mush of junk."

This March 3 photo shows Hog 'N Hominy Salsa Verde stew in Concord. Putting all the ingredients for the stew in the slow cooker and letting it simmer all day can warm up a house in winter and is an easy way to make the dish. (AP photo)
It all started at my friend Anthony's house not long ago during the beginning the so-called polar vortex. He is a gifted home cook and a food television producer, so he knows his way around a pot. He also is from Texas and we share a love of tequila, barbecue and anything Tex-Mex!That icy night, Anthony made an amazing pork stew with loads of chilies, cilantro and garlic. The flavors and textures were at once warm, comforting, fresh and exciting. The minute I tasted his stew tucked into a warm flour tortilla, I couldn't wait to make it again and share it with friends and family.As a cook, we all take recipes and add our own twist, and I instinctively knew that hominy would add another layer to this already delicious stew.I love hominy and it is a perfect pairing with pork. Hominy is hard white or yellow corn, specifically maize, which is the type of corn used in making corn meal and other grain products, as opposed to the softer sweet corn, which is the familiar vegetable we steam or grill and eat all summer long.Kernels of this corn are soaked in a solution of either lime or lye. But don't let this scare you; lye is the same substance that crisps certain pickles, cures olives and gives pretzels a distinctive crust. The strong solution makes the hull and germ of the corn come off, and the grain puffs up to about twice its normal size. Once soaked, hominy is mostly dried and ground to form hominy grits.Processed hominy also can be cooked until soft, then used in stews and soups. Posole is a traditional Mexican soup made with hominy. Hominy is readily available dried or canned. Because the dried hominy has to be soaked overnight, much like dried beans, I used canned hominy for the ease of it, but the dried hominy works well if you plan in advance.The poblanos and red peppers can be roasted on the grill or in the oven, but everything else can be thrown in the pot and left to cook for hours until the pork is so tender that it falls apart and the broth becomes rich.I made this stew in a Dutch oven, but I imagine it also would be perfect in a slow cooker. Putting all the ingredients in the slow cooker and letting it simmer all day is a cozy way to warm up a house in winter and an easy way to make this dish.The key to this recipe is a fresh "salsa verde" puree of raw tomatillos, lime juice, garlic, cilantro and the roasted poblano peppers that you braise the pork in. The tart salsa verde balances the beer and the chicken stock to make this dish come alive.------HOG `N HOMINY SALSA VERDE STEWStart to finish: 3 hours (30 minutes active)Servings: 104 large poblano peppers2 red bell peppers2 tablespoons olive oil2 cups of chopped red onions3 to 4 pounds boneless country ribs or pork buttKosher salt and ground black pepper1 tablespoon ground cumin8 large raw tomatillos (about 12 ounces)6 to 8 large cloves garlic1 heaping cup fresh cilantro, stems and leaves1/2 cup lime juice (about 4 limes)1 quart low-sodium chicken stock12-ounce bottle beer (any variety)1/2 cup jarred sliced jalapenos, or more to tasteTwo 15-ounce cans hominy, drainedFlour tortillas, tortilla chips or rice, to serveHeat the oven to 400 F.Place the poblano and bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven until they blister, about 15 to 20 minutes, using tongs to turn them halfway through. Transfer the roasted peppers to a heat-safe bowl, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for 7 to 10 minutes, then remove them and slip off the skins. Cut out the stems, then remove and discard the seeds.Finely chop the roasted red peppers. Set the poblanos aside.Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy duty pasta pot over medium. Add the olive oil and the onions. Saute for about 10 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.Season the pork with salt, pepper and the cumin. Add pork to the pot with the onions and brown on all sides.Meanwhile, peel the tomatillos and cut into quarters. In a blender, combine the tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, poblanos and 1 teaspoon of salt. Puree for a few minutes or until liquefied. This may take a few tries and you may need to stir the contents of the blender a few times to make the tomatillos and cilantro blend together. Set aside.Once the pork is browned, add the chicken stock, the beer and the pureed tomatillo mixture. Stir well, then add the jalapenos and reserved red peppers. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 hours, or until the pork breaks into pieces easily and the liquid has reduced by about a fifth. About 30 minutes before the stew is done, stir in the hominy.Nutrition information per serving (without tortillas): 400 calories; 130 calories from fat; 14 g fat (4 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 120 mg cholesterol; 26 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 9 g sugar; 38 g protein; 550 mg sodium.------EDITOR'S NOTE: Elizabeth Karmel is a grilling and Southern foods expert and executive chef at Hill Country Barbecue Market restaurants in New York and Washington, as well as Hill Country Chicken in New York.

The FujiFilm FinePix HS10 is a fixed-lens point and shoot camera released in early 2010. Of FujiFilm's Spring 2010 lineup, the HS10 is by far the best. For starters, it utilizes a powerful 30x optical zoom lens. It's further bolstered by triple image stabilization (mechanical CMOS shift, digital stabilization, and ISO adjustment), a back-lit CMOS sensor optimized for low-light shooting, and support for RAW+JPEG still capture. Signature to the HS10 is its full support for 1080p high-definition video capture, not to mention an included HDMI v1.3 interface. Additional features include a 10fps burst mode, a movie mode that films up to 1000 frames per second, and a one-touch panorama mode.
The HS10 is lacking, however, with its weaker 10.3MP CCD sensor (when compared to its peers) and its reliance on conventional AA batteries. It is otherwise the best model in the Spring 2010 release.
