ROB WOUTAT | What makes a good president? Well ...
Having prevailed in Kitsap's GOP caucuses last week, and in the state generally, and after Super Tuesday this week, Mitt Romney is still in the lead to be his party's candidate for the presidential election this fall.
He certainly has imposing credentials: He graduated cum laude from his law school and was in the top 5 percent of his business school class. He's been successful in business at Bain Capital Management and ran for the U.S. Senate in 1994.
In 1999 he became the CEO of the organizing committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics, an event that made a profit of $100 million. He served as Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 before running for President in 2008.
Despite his successes in varied endeavors, it's not his experience as governor or his success with the 2002 Olympics that he's emphasizing in this campaign but his success in business.
So we should ask, Do businessmen make good presidents?
Our 44 presidents have come to the office via varied routes. Thirty-nine have had political experience at the national level as senators and/or representatives, or as state governors. Some have been cabinet members. More than half have been lawyers. Fifteen have been soldiers, three of them generals (Washington, Grant, and Eisenhower). A few have been academics, newspaper editors, and businessmen.
When historians rank American presidents from best to worst, certain names consistently appear in the top 10 (and in the bottom 10).
Washington, Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt, with their wisdom, consistency of vision, and exemplary moral courage in holding the country together in its most trying times, consistently make the grade.
Theodore Roosevelt and Truman rank high, too, although it took time for us to recognize Truman's strength and achievements. Both were incorruptible leaders who were wise enough to know what was right for the country and courageous enough to take political risks to do it.
Jefferson usually ranks high, and so do Wilson (an academic and former governor), Eisenhower (a general and a university president), and Reagan (a movie actor, corporate spokesman, president of the Screen Actors Guild, and a former governor).
Unfortunately our interminable political campaigns don't tell us which candidates will make good presidents, only which are good campaigners, and campaigning calls for special requirements: More than anything else, lots and lots of money, either money of their own or the ability to raise it. Physical appearance. Glibness. The ability to unleash volumes of information rapidly in instant response to a question — whether the information is accurate or not. Physical stamina. An attractive spouse and family. The willingness to tolerate the sometimes-puerile questions in televised debates and to call your opponents names.
However well-supplied a candidate is with these qualities, they bear no correlation to the likeliness of his success in leading the country, which calls for very different attributes, ones that may not become evident until he's in office. Who would have expected so much of Lincoln at the start of his first term? Or of Truman when the presidency suddenly dropped on his head? Those least-prepared, least-pretentious, self-educated, plain-talking men with meager credentials had the self-confidence and moral strength to become great in response to crises.
Will a businessman be a good president? There is no reason to think so. We've had only three businessmen who later occupied the White House: Jimmy Carter, a businessman/farmer before he went into politics; George H.W. Bush, an oil man before going into government; and George W. Bush, an oil man and baseball team owner before becoming a politician. Of our 44 presidents, historians rank Carter and Bush I in the middle of the pack; Bush II, near the bottom.
Conservative columnist David Brooks argues that " great leaders tend to have an instrumental mentality. They do not feel the office is about them." Instead they see themselves as instruments of a cause larger them themselves, a cause that gives them a longer perspective and causes their administrations to move in one direction.
"In reality," Brooks says, "Romney's (business) success is largely irrelevant to the question of whether he could be a good president. The real question is whether he has picked up traits like emotional security, political judgment and an instrumental mindset from his upbringing and the deeper experiences of life."

By Bryan Rudolph
My wife wanted her; I had my reservations, but relented.
Her first morning at our home, she whined; when we went to see, we found innocence looking up, with a lost stare and drooping ears.
Her heart became mine then and there, with no reservations recalled.
The adventure began with a run around the park, her not able to catch up.
But soon, she could compete with the wind, and seemed to win.
We went on long walks through nature trails, in wide open and wooded fields.
She chased balls and sticks with alacrity and chewed on bark and branch, with focused energy.
She learned quickly, what little we taught.
Her morning jog unfolded the day, the days then folded into years fast forwarded.
Along her way, she lost her sight, and later found illness, and lost her life.
When she was among us, her presence helped define who we were and what we did.
The instant without her, life's meanings and minutiae shifted and we sifted into hollowed hostages of hardened helplessness.
We remember her stoic spirit in gentle gait, and regret any of our neglect toward her, knowing what prompts us to appreciate her beauty is also what pricks us to acknowledge our guilt.
Too often our thoughts were of work and worries, matters and meanderings, squeezing her out.
Now our memories of her, embraced within, find her free to forever be.
Only in there, inside our minds, we see the delightful darling we knew, chasing ball and stick, swimming in lake and climbing up cliff; jumping in snow, leaf, and sprinkler, each while looking up seeking permission, or lying comforted in arms and lap, unaware of the depth in sweetness and in sorrow she meant, and continues to mean, to us.
Her name was Kelly, our beloved salt and pepper miniature schnauzer, and she passed from our lives Monday, November 15, 2010.

Mobile Food Pantry
Northern Illinois Food Bank's Mobile Pantry Program provides food distribution to under-served areas, where there is little access to food assistance. The partnership between Catholic Charities and the Northern Illinois Food Bank will help hungry families in the Diocese of Joliet, including rural areas, where people in need of food assistance may have to travel many miles to access a food pantry. The Food Bank has two Mobile Pantry trucks that have nine bays, six of which are refrigerated, and can hold up to 9,000 pounds of food. Every distribution includes frozen meat, a valuable source of protein, fresh produce, bread, and nutritious non-perishable items, as well as cleaning items when available. At each visit, about twenty volunteers unload food from the bays and organize them on tables around the truck. Clients from the community sign in and walk around the truck to select food that best meets their family's nutritional needs. Each Mobile Pantry distribution visit lasts two hours and can provide nutritious food to as many as 300 families.
Sponsors of each Mobile Food Pantry stop pay a fee that is approximately half the cost of the visit and the remainder is subsidized by the Food Bank from donations from corporations and foundations.
The Mobile Pantry program provides a dependable, efficient way to increase protein and other nutritious foods in the diets of low-income people needing food assistance.
For more information, call 815-723-3405 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Information for Mobile Food Pantry participants:
- Mobile Food Pantries take place regardless of the weather. We'll see you snow, rain, or shine!
- Please bring a bag, basket, or box to transport your food.
- Catholic Charities will be present to provide information about programs and services that they provide in addition to the Mobile Food Pantry
- You do NOT have to be Catholic to participate. Catholic Charities helps people of all faiths and beliefs.

Like Andrew, I don't think you could build a good user experience with that solution. I agree that showing notifications in-page is a good solution for pages that tries to bring up notifications before the user has given permission to open out-of-page. However I think we need a way for a page to explicitly ask for permission to open out-of-page notifications before it needs to actually notify the user. > We could solve the spoofing icon problem by making this permission be > scoped to the specific icon being displayed -- whenever the icon changes, > either because its URL changed or because the image at that URL changed, > then you implicitly cancel the permissions grant.

Matthew Eichhorst
The rise of the U.S. dollar in concert with the fall of the Canadian dollar was cited as a factor in late 2015 and early 2016 for lowered cruise business from the Canadian market.
A year later, the U.S. dollar remains strong -- its ratio to the Canadian dollar hasn't changed substantially since the end of Wave Season 2016 -- but Canadian cruise bookings, like those in the U.S., are strong year to date.
Because about 2/3 of Vancouver-based Expedia CruiseShipCenter's stores are in Canada, Cruise Week asked President Matthew Eichhorst for perspective.
"Canadians look for stability in the dollar," he said. "They don't mind that the [Canadian] dollar isn't on par with the U.S dollar, but they don't like it moving, especially if it is falling."
Back in January 2016, he recalls that Canadians had to deal with a 70-cent dollar: "It stabilized at the end of March 2016 in the mid-70s and we've been at 75 cents for about a year." That stability, he said, is really good for cruise business: "Now the Canadians know what they're going to get for their dollar."
That's in contrast to bookings back when the Canadian dollar was falling. "All of a sudden you could find yourself buying a cruise that cost more than before, especially with companies who didn't sell in Canadian dollars," said Eichhorst. "So that was difficult. But with the stability, people don't cancel."
After the U.S. elections, there had been talk about the U.S. dollar becoming less strong, and while the Euro is now at a five-month high against the dollar following this week's French presidential election, the CAD/USD ratio hasn't changed substantially.
This week it dropped off due to a trade dispute, but still finished at 74 cents at day's end Tuesday. "I think we'll bounce around in the 70s for the next year," predicted Eichhorst.
He also said the strong U.S. dollar combined with a stable economy is making it a good time for ship orders for U.S. brands, pointing to the recent example of Viking Ocean ordering yet two more ships.
Eichhorst's comments come as business signs continue reasonably well, on the heels of a solid first quarter/Wave Season. "March was off the charts," he noted. "But it was a bit of a fake success. Last year we had Easter in March."
This year Easter fell in April. "I would say a portion of our success in March is because those comps included Easter. We're going to take it on the chin a little bit in the first couple of weeks of April with Easter. We're still at nice growth, but it's nothing like March."
Europe sales year over year, he says, continue strong: "It has been fantastic since last July," despite recent geopolitical incidents in Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Paris.
However, overall business trends continue strong. "After 2016 the whole industry deserves a good year," he remarked. "Short of somebody making poor decisions geopolitically, I think we'll have nice steady economic growth in 2017."

In this article we will tell you, how to find the competitors to promote your Instagram account in the most efficient way.
If you prefer to promote your account by competitors, our service will find all Instagram users (your competitors), specified by you. Then it will put likes or follow such users.
To organize Instagram account promotion in the most efficient way, first of all, you need to find all competitors' accounts, which offer similar services or products, or which are followed by your target audience.
We recommend to specify at least 10 competitors with at least 10 000 followers. It is very important to use public (open) accounts, not private ones. It is also important to make sure your account is not in their black list.
You can find the competitor via Instagram search using its web version or mobile app. As a rule, every business owner knows his or her direct rivals. So, it won't be a problem to find them on Instagram. Go to Instagram web site or application, sign up with your account, and enter your competitor's name. For example:
Then copy the account name and add it to our service on the settings tab. Optionally, you can copy the link to the account and paste it to the corresponding field on the settings tab.
Copy the link:
Paste the copied link on the settings tab:
But what to do, if you do not know your competitors, or cannot find their sufficient number.
You can do one of the following:
Imagine, you have a beauty salon in San Diego. Therefore, you should search for competing beauty salons to allow the service to process their followers.
Do the following:
1. Enter #sandiegonails hashtags into the search box
Check for the results
More than 21 thousand posts are found.
2. Click on any found publication:
In the appeared window click on the account name.
You will be redirected to the corresponding account's page.
3. Copy the name or link:
...and paste it on the settings tab.
It is as simple as ABC. In our example, we have found the competitor with 288.000 followers. This method allows to find dozens of competitors in a matter of minutes.

Actress Margot Robbie reportedly married her filmmaker boyfriend Tom Ackerley over the weekend!
The pair wed in a secret ceremony in Australia, on the Gold Coast, near her hometown in Dalby.
An insider told Woman's Day, "The Gold Coast was somewhere she always wanted to get married, given it's where she was raised as a kid, on her grandparents' farm."
"Tom initially wanted to get married in the UK, but he knows how much it means to Margot to tie the knot on home soil and how special it is for her, so he didn't put up much of a fight," the source continued. "They decided to marry around Christmas so they could spend time with both their families afterwards, which they've never done before."
The nuptials took place just a few months after the couple got in engaged in summer. The pair, who were dating for three years, have not made a public announcement about their wedding.
Though Margot and Tom don't have children yet, she has plans to raise their future family Down Under. She shared on "The Project" earlier this year, "They'll be here. The kids will be in Australia."

Carbis Bay Flying site – Important!
I have received an email today relating to Carbis Bay, informing us that the fields have now been seeded and the land is let to a farmer for Hay, grazing and grass, and that we are no longer allowed to take off and land on any of the fields.
We will as soon as possible arrange a meeting to try and negotiate future use but until then please do not fly Carbis Bay by using any of the fields for taking off or landing.
If you wish to take off on the dunes and land on the beach that is fine.
Cooperation in this matter is important if we are to have any chance of future use.
Thank you.

A soft spot for Southwold and why Great Yarmouth has it all, by SeaChange Arts' boss Joe Mackintosh
PUBLISHED: 13:59 14 September 2018 | UPDATED: 14:02 14 September 2018
Joe Mackintosh of SeaChange Arts shares his East Anglian heaven and hell
Joe Mackintosh has been Chief Executive of Great Yarmouth's SeaChange Arts for 20 years. Under his leadership the organisation has become one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations and a major player on the UK and international circus and street arts scene. Whilst operating on an international level SeaChange are proud of their base in Great Yarmouth where they now have their own venue The Drill House. Their annual Out There International Festival of Circus and Street Arts began eleven years ago and is one of the largest outdoor arts festivals in the country. It runs from 14-16 September 2018 all over the streets and parks of the town centre. Gina Long talks to Joe Mackintosh, Director of SeaChange Arts.
What is your connection to East Anglia?
I grew up in Norfolk, studied in Edinburgh, and then worked away for some time. I returned to the east of England specifically to work here and to develop the arts in Great Yarmouth. A task I'm still happily embracing twenty years on.
What is your East Anglian Heaven?
I love the coast and all it offers. I have a soft spot for Southwold, and love traipsing across the beaches of North Norfolk. And, of course, Great Yarmouth! The town is genuinely crazy and wonderful. It's said of lots of places but it really does have something for everyone, with a fascinating history and some quite stunning architecture. Of course there is also the Golden Mile of glorious beaches and all the elements you need for a proper traditional seaside holiday. There's also lots of hidden histories and secret things and places – the Portuguese quarter around King Street for example. The town is home to one of the most multicultural populations in the county, giving it a unique and thrilling character all of its own.
What is your East Anglian Hell?
Tough one. We've had a wonderful summer this year, and it's not unique to East Anglia, but like anyone involved in the outdoor arts, I find the vagaries of the English weather unsettling!
What is your favourite East Anglian restaurant?
Quayside Plaza on the river in Great Yarmouth, run by the amazing Angelo and Magda, a husband and wife team. It's a family restaurant specialising in Portuguese & Mediterranean food that attracts a really mixed cosmopolitan clientele and SOOO good. But book, it's busy.
How best to spend a summer evening in East Anglia?
A relaxed summer cycle ride to a country pub. I've been a keen cyclist since my teens and used to be a member of a couple of cycling clubs. Nowadays the emphasis is very much on the 'relaxed' with the incentive of a good pint of local ale at the end.
Favourite East Anglia landmark?
The Nelson Monument in Great Yarmouth. Yes, we have our own Nelson's Column! And I'm much more fond of it than the Trafalgar Square version.
The best thing that happens in East Anglia every year?
We're lucky to have so many varied festivals in the region but I have to say The Out There International Festival of Circus & Street Arts! This year is the 11th and it has become the region's largest free arts festival through some very hard work from our team and a not insignificant amount of European funding. It's always marvellous to see the streets come alive with so much colour and spectacle and it attracts a great range of people – more than half from outside the area.
What's your Mastermind subject?
European funding programmes and application forms of the last 20 years!
Always in my fridge...
The fridge always seems to contain an infinite number of empty fruit juice cartons left by my four sons.
My simple philosophy of life...
Change is the only certain thing. Change is something that many people fear but it truly is a certainty and if we embrace it rather than try to avoid it we would all have a better life.
Favourite film?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, one of the greatest westerns ever made but it goes beyond that. It's a great buddy film showing the nature of true friendship and trust, it looks really good and has some very funny moments. What more could you ask for?
First job?
Carrot factory worker near Swaffham when I was 17. Eye opening.
Most treasured possession
I guess my grandfather's Bechstein piano that I have restored. It is well played by me and all my children. It is amazing that something made over 100 years ago still sounds so good and gives so much pleasure.
Who do you admire most?
All those who give back. Bill Gates is a pretty good example of someone who puts his wealth to good use. He has pledged to give most of his wealth to charity during his lifetime via the Gates Foundation which donates money to improve healthcare and ease poverty across the world.
Biggest indulgence?
I seem to have amassed a lot of old tubas. What started as a small creative upcycling project at work, has turned into something of an obsession. Now I have tuba lights, tuba plant pots… you name it!
What I like most about myself
I guess my tenacity – anyone who knows me is well aware that I don't give up easily, also nurturing talent in others. I find this really pays off.
Worst character trait
Where to begin? Let's say swearing, especially when I'm needing to employ that tenacity!
Holiday destination
Tropical islands are hard to beat although it's been a while since work commitments allowed me to visit one. Indonesia has some of the best.
Best day this year
So far, our Festa Fiesta event in June. We produced it as part of Great Yarmouth Arts Festival, with a stunning circus carnival. It was all part of celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of circus this year. It involved lots of local people and was the very first outing for the incredible life size elephant puppets that we produced in partnership with Norwich City Council.
Favourite breakfast
A simple cup of tea is my usual start to the day.
Favourite tipple
A good G&T especially if it features one of the newer artisan gins from Norfolk.
Hidden Talent
I play a bit of funky fender Rhodes electric piano sometimes...
Most embarrassing moment?
At the launch speeches for Out There, one time I totally forgot to introduce the Area Director of the Arts Council who was there to speak. He took it with good humour as he's a good guy.
Earliest memory?
Playing with a hosepipe in California in 1973. My parents did a year's teacher exchange there. As a child I was always encouraged to immerse myself in 'messy' play. It's something I've continued with my children. We're always den-building, messing about in the water and making rope slides. One of the joys of living in the Norfolk countryside – you're never far from an adventure!
Funeral Song
Hey Joe by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, don't think I need to explain why.
Something people don't know about you?
Many years ago I had a job helping victims of miscarriages of justice to be released from prison.
Worst thing anyone said to you?
"You're hired" (see carrot factory answer above!)
Why live here and nowhere else

Added Versus Natural Sugars: What to Know
The Battle of Added and Natural Sugars: What You Need to Know
Sugar has a pretty bad rap, and it's not all unwarranted — studies show it may be as addictive as alcohol or cigarettes. Beyond increased rates of obesity all over the country, overzealous consumption — the average American consumes a whopping 59 kilos of sugar per year — leads to higher risks of type 2 diabetes, liver damage, heart disease, and even cancer. With these staggering statistics, you might be steering clear completely. But it's important to realise that not all sugar is bad.
Generally speaking, naturally occurring sugars, like those from fruit, are less detrimental to your health than added, refined sugars, like those in a powdery doughnut. Added sugars come in the form of granules, powders, and syrups that are cooked into foods or added at the table.
According to the American Heart Association, most women should be consuming no more than 100 calories from these added sugars per day, or about 24 grams (six teaspoons of sugar). Keep reading to learn about the sugary foods you can enjoy freely and those to avoid.
Looking at the nutritional values of a small doughnut and piece of fruit, you might see similar sugar counts, gram for gram. But according to Heidi Skolnik, nutritionist to the Women's Sports Medicine Centre in New York, comparing these two foods on their sheer sugar count is ridiculous. "[Food containing] naturally occurring sugar is the vehicle through which we get our nutrients." Beyond the sugar content, it's essential to recognise that a piece of fresh fruit also offers nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre. But eliminating refined sugar goes beyond cutting back on dessert and blended coffee beverages.
It pops up in surprising places, and many women don't realise they're hitting those six teaspoons a day — without having touched a cookie! Clean-eating guru Cynthia Sass MPH, RD, explains: "There's a little bit of added sugar in your flavoured yoghurt. There's a little bit of added sugar in your crackers. It adds up." If you're concerned that you fall into this category, then look to the source of your food. Are you eating a fresh piece of fruit from the market, or did this come from a can where it's been saturated in sugary corn syrup? Is it a snack from the petrol station or a healthy dessert you cooked at home?
According to the Heart Foundation Australia, the top five sources of sugar in the Australian diet are:
- Soft drinks, flavoured mineral waters, and electrolyte drinks
- Added (table) sugar, honey and syrups
- Cakes, buns, muffins etc.
- Frozen milk products, eg. ice-creams
- Chocolate and chocolate-based confectionary
While this isn't a free ticket to eat as much naturally occurring sugar as you want, this should clear up qualms about avoiding sugar altogether. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Centre, puts it best: "We actually need sugar; it's our body's preferred fuel . . . but we eat too damn much of it." If you're ready to cut back, try a sugar alternative, and take these tips to curb your habit to heart.

If you are a regular reader of this blog site, you are most likely aware that there have been significant changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act. On September 25, 2008, President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), which went into effect on January 1, 2009, and is not retroactive. Although the effective date was over two years ago, revised implementing rules were not finalized until March 24, 2011, when the EEOC published its ADAAA final rule (72 Federal Register 16978). The regulations apply to all private, state and local government employers with 15 or more employees, employment agencies, labor organizations (unions), and joint-labor-management committees.
Definition of "Disability" Does Not Change
It is important to note that the ADAAA and regulations retain the basic definition of "disability" as described in the original ADA, but make clear that the interpretation of the term has changed.
1) The determination of whether an impairment substantially limits a major life activity must be made without regard to the use of mitigating measures such as medication, medical equipment, prosthetics, hearing aids, mobility devices, oxygen equipment, etc. Simply put, if an employee's condition would qualify as a disability without such aids, the employee should be considered to have a protected disability. (Note: an exception is made for ordinary eyeglasses and contact lenses.) Further, an impairment that is "episodic or in remission" is a disability even when inactive "if it would substantially limit a major life activity when active." Examples may include cancer, epilepsy, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
2) It expands the definition of "regarded as" by providing that an individual is
"regarded as" having a disability if the employee establishes that he or she has been discriminated against because of an actual or perceived physical or mental impairment, whether the impairment limits or is perceived to limit a major life activity. it should be noted, however, that the "regarded as" requirement does not apply to transitory and minor impairments with the actual or expected duration of less than six months.
3) The ADAAA expands the definition of disability by introducing a new, non-exhaustive list of major life activities that include: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. Also, for the first time, the ADAAA has stated that major life activities will include the operation of major bodily functions, including but not limited to functions of the immune system; normal cell growth; and digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine and reproductive functions.
4) Given the new lists, some conditions will almost always be deemed to substantially limit a major life activity. The ones mentioned in the Final Regulations are: Deafness, blindness, intellectual disability (formerly known as mental retardation), partially or completely missing limbs, mobility impairments requiring use of a wheelchair, autism, cancer, cerebral palsy, diabetes, epilepsy, HIV infection, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia.
5) The regulations include a new provision making it clear that a person cannot sue under the ADA pursuant to a reverse discrimination-type theory. No claims can be made that an individual without a disability was discriminated against because of a lack of a disability.
What Your HR Department Should Do
In light of these changes, here are a few practical steps and actions that employers and HR Departments can take to assure compliance with the new regulations:
- Review your job descriptions to ensure that elements of the job listed as "essential functions" are truly job-related and consistent with business necessity;
- Take a look at your employment policies and employee handbook and review your employment policies on disabilities and reasonable accommodations. If your policy currently has a detailed description of what constitutes a "disability", you may want to check with outside counsel to determine if any changes are necessary;
- Educate supervisors and managers about the ADAAA changes and emphasize the importance of engaging in interactive discussions with employees potentially covered by the new regulations. Encourage supervisors to consult with the HR Department or outside counsel whenever an employee requests an accommodation, particularly if there is any question as to the validity of the request. They should be reminded to never immediately refuse a request or retaliate in any way against an employee for requesting an accommodation.
- Ensure that your company has a formalized process for addressing requests for reasonable accommodations.
- Reconsider previously declined requests for accommodations that may have been declined because they did not meet the ADA's definition of a disability.
- Make sure that all decisions declining a request for accommodation are done in writing and clearly delineate the non-discriminatory reason for the action and the steps that were taken to arrive at the decision.

There is a lot riding on the Droid. Motorola needs a hit more than just about any handset company on the market right now (think Palm circa late 2008) and Verizon is still looking for its super phone. This may seem like less than ideal circumstances to come out with a great device, but the timing is actually quite good. Not only does the Droid ship as the first phone with version 2.0 of the rapidly maturing Android operating system but it arrives at a time when consumers know that the iPhone is not a perfect device. And it's even more clear these days that AT&T is not the perfect carrier.
If you've seen any of the "iDon't" commercials then you'd think that the Droid was designed to be the anti-iPhone. More realistically it was designed for the iPhone buyer, specifically addressing the iPhone's shortcomings. Looking for a hardware keyboard? The Droid has it. Removable battery? It has it. MicroUSB charging? Check. Five megapixel camera with a flash? That too. Haptic feedback? Of course. And if that stuff wasn't enough, it's the thinnest slider QWERTY made today, it has a ridiculously nice 854×480 display, and it runs the newest version of Android, complete with Google Maps Navigation.
Before we get going, don't miss our initial impressions of the Droid or the photo gallery. These should get you up to speed.
With the basics out of the way, let's jump into the hardware. The Droid is nicely build, there is no questioning this. It's a solid, metallic hunk with a a good sliding action and sharp, clean angles. The design is in keeping with the device's killer robot demeanor, something you might love or hate but at least they follow through on it. The 3.7-inch LCD is the focus of the phone (as it should be) but it's detracted from by the four touch-sensitive buttons and the phone's odd chin. While the buttons are useful and form another distinction between the Android devices and the iPhone, the chin doesn't seem like much more than a highly visible spot to put a Verizon logo. It actually holds the microphone and the antenna setup plus it makes sliding the screen easier, but it's not as clean a design as it could be.
The Droid's hardware, in addition to the cool factor of the large display and metal body, has a number of thoughtful decisions. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack and charging is handled by microUSB. There is a display/power button on the top and a volume control on the side… all where they are expected. As a perk there is a dual-stage camera button for using the 5MP digital camera which will combine with the dual-LED flash to produce some really nice shots. The battery is removable and the storage is expandable via microSD. It's almost as if the phone was designed by handset geeks.
The hardware is very good, but it's not perfect. The single biggest flaw is the hardware keyboard. It's totally flat and rather smooth so distinguishing one key from another can be difficult. The end result is not just looking down at the keyboard as you type but focusing too much of your attention on it. Given how important of a factor this was supposed to be over something like the HTC Hero or myTouch 3G (Android devices without keyboards) it seems like Motorola focused too much on the slim design and not enough on the quality of the keyboard. Some people might like it more than others, but I'd have liked to see less prominence given to the 5-way directional pad and more to the keyboard, as well as more distinct keys with better tactile feedback. People that really like landscape keyboards might like this one, but if you don't already prefer this style you won't be won over (I wasn't). The directional pad is useful for accurate cursor placement, but given the amount of time actually spent using it, it seems like the space could have been better utilized on the keyboard.
The phone's speaker gets nice and loud, which is a must for a good smartphone. It faces the rear of the phone and has a bronze-colored grill which is the only color on the handset aside from the camera button. Combined with a tool like Google's Listen app or a few YouTube videos and the phone can be a really strong media device.
You can't talk about the Droid without getting into the 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen. It's a big glass screen and it operates at an incredible 854×480, so you have some serious real estate. This makes the Droid really great on the web as you can view many websites at their native width. The touch works very well and there was very little lag, aside from the slightest bit when the phone is coming out of standby where I often did my unlock swipe before the phone was ready. One point that is important to note here is that Android 2.0 supports multi-touch but the Droid does not. Out of the box the Droid does not have any multi-touch features, including–disappointingly-the keyboard.
As for the camera–it's disappointing. It's great to shoot at 5MP and have autofocus and a flash, but the photo quality and shooting is OK at best. It's process that could use some work and ended up not at all being in keeping with how strong the device looks on paper. It you take the time you can get a nice enough shot, but it's more painful than it should be. The Droid shoots video at an incredible 720×480 so while you shouldn't expect camcorder-quality stuff, you have the capability to take some very watchable video.
Two hardware components not included with the Droid are the docks. There is a GPS dock for your car that automatically triggers the Car Home screen (the Droid's GPS mode which utilizes Google Maps Navigation) and a Home dock. The Home dock puts the phone in a standby mode where it displays a clock and the weather, which is perfect for a nightstand or desk. While the GPS mode can be accessed through an app, the Home mode seems to require the $30 accessory dock. The docks are detected with magnets, so enterprising geeks will be able to hack together their own dock if they'd like.
The software side of the Droid is all about Android 2.0. This is the first device to ship with the new version of the OS and it brings along some significant upgrades from 1.6, though the OS itself doesn't change that much. The Droid would not be possible without Android 2.0–the new OS version is what allows for the high resolution display and Google Maps for Navigation only works with it. Interestingly Motorola's other Android phone, the Cliq, shipped with MOTOBLUR, the companies social media and UI overlay. MOTOBLUR included a few Motorola services that the Droid does not have, probably because this device is designed to highlight the partnership between Google, Motorola, and Verizon, as well as Android 2.0. This means that Motolora didn't specifically add very much software, but they did throw in the docking features as well as corporate (Exchange) calendar support. That said, the Cliq has been relegated to a second-class device and Motorola's flagship does not run MOTOBLUR.
Android 2.0 comes with a number other perks, most of which are aimed at more demanding users. There is now a universal inbox, support for multiple Gmail accounts, and an HTML5 browser with double-tap-to-zoom. There is Google Maps Navigation, which is huge. The free turn-by-turn navigation system is going to be an important feature on the phone as well as most high-end smartphones in the future, though the Droid is by no means the first device to have it (just the first to have Google's version). Other great features include voice navigation, voice search, and very nice Facebook integration. The Facebook app allows for the syncing of all contacts as well as syncing of only the friends that you already have setup in your phone. This restricting of data is crucial to the integration of third-party services and while the Droid doesn't do much of it, what it does do it gets right.
One of the best features of Android is the notification bar at the top of the display. Whenever you get a text, receive an email, or a download finishes (etc.) you get an icon there. The bar can be expanded with a sliding motion and in a click you can be at that text or email. It allows for a lot to be happening on the phone–and you to be keeping track of all of it–without constant interruptions.
The browser was changed with 2.0 and it's quite good. Maybe not as slick as the iPhone's, but the higher resolution makes for an exceptional experience. You can now double-tap to zoom, which is great and it marks a nice change from the previous Android versions. The browser is quick and sites seem to render quite well including when shifting from portrait to landscape mode. Overall it's a top-notch browser that is competitive with the best on the market. Plus it has an edge thanks to the high-resolution screen.
Combined with the Droid's powerful processor Android 2.0 is fast and smooth. The OS moves along very nicely and there is almost no time spent waiting for it. Shifting from portrait to landscape is snappy and actions like flicks and program loads are all quick. It's a really nice experience and while there is still some of the UI clunkiness of Android, you move through it with great speed.
As with all smartphones, typing is important. This is something that is going to be heavily dependent on personal preference but from what I've seen the Droid's hardware keyboard is not good. Some reviewers like it and can deal with the key design, but I found myself avoiding the hardware keyboard whenever possible. Android's stock software keyboards are not great either, and the lack of multi-touch on them remains a problem. The portrait keyboard is not terrible, but it could use some work. The landscape software keyboard was my pick on the device for emailing, but it still ended up being slow going. An improved keyboard would be a must for me if I was going to seriously consider this device. Again though this is just my opinion–it's something people will have to try for themselves.
Despite all the software, the Droid is still a phone so calling is important. Here, and with 3G connectivity, Verizon's network really shined. Being an iPhone user on AT&T based in Manhattan it's a real change of pace to use the Droid because calls were dependable and reception was consistent. 3G speeds seemed excellent and the phone did its job as far as reception was concerned. Call quality is great and the Droid is a fine device to talk on, though it seems like you have to be careful with your ear placement as a bit to the side or too low and you miss out on most of the sound. Your aim will improve as you get used to the phone, though.
Users should keep in mind that despite all that's great about Android 2.0, everything is not perfect. This is still an OS that is best for people that like to tinker and know what they are doing. It does not have the user-friendliess of the iPhone nor does it have the excellently integrated media features. Android isn't short on tools (or even apps) but it's not for everyone. A quick look at the music player will make it pretty clear that the phone has some usability issues. Additionally there are messages and actions that consumers are going to find really hard to understand. For example, when you plug the phone into a USB slot nothing happens aside from it saying "Droid" in its robot voice, which it does all the time. To do something as simple as put a few songs on the microSD card you need to go to the notification bar, identify the USB symbol, and tell the phone to allow the computer to mount it. Then you find the Music folder (or create it–it's not there), and copy your music. Not exactly intuitive.
The Droid packs a 1400mAh battery, which is very good for such a thin device. We're still testing battery life, but it looks like the Droid is an all-day device, even for relatively intensive phone users. This is going to vary based on your email load, your apps, and your usage of tools like the GPS, but it's not a phone that's going to die on you mid-day. The battery is removable though, so while this probably won't be necessary it is an option.
After using the Droid for about 10 days now I can say that I'm really impressed. It is, in my opinion, the best phone on Verizon at the moment, and an excellent all-round device for the right user. This user caveat is important though because even as Android improves it still has some rough edges and usability issues, but it's getting better. It is, despite any problems, incredibly powerful and versatile and improving with each version. As expected Verizon's network was great, and it remains one of the phone's strongest assets, especially when compared to the iPhone.
Ultimately the Droid isn't a phone for everyone but it's an excellent device. Anyone looking for a phone that they can get a lot out of should consider it, so long as they are willing to put up with some annoyances, quirks, and a hefty handset. It doesn't have the app market or polish of the iPhone but it does excel in a number of areas and for the power user it could be an excellent choice.
The Droid sells for $199 with a 2-year agreement and is available from Verizon Wireless today.

31st Foot
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Armies >> British Army >> 31st Foot
Origin and History
In 1702, at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-13), it was decided to raise six regiments of Marines. On March 14, a Royal Warrant was issued, authorising Colonel George Villiers to raise a regiment of marines consisting of 40 officers and 793 other ranks. The regiment was known as the "George Villiers's Regiment of Marines" and consisted of 40 officers and 793 other ranks.
Throughout the war, detachments of the regiment were used in several actions. In 1702, five companies too part in the unsuccessful expedition against Cádiz and in the victorious Battle of Vigo Bay where they served on board the fleet. In 1703, four companies were on board the fleet who operated on the coast of Spain. In 1704, a detachment took part in the unsuccessful expedition against Barcelona and in the capture and defence of the Fortress of Gibraltar. In 1705, part of the regiment was at the siege and capture of Barcelona. In 1706, detachments took part in the capture of Carthagena, Alicante, Ibiza and Majorca; in 1707, in the unsuccessful siege of Toulon; in 1708, in the capture of the islands of Sardinia and Minorca. In 1709, a detachment participated in the expedition against the French settlement of Port Royal in Acadie; while another detachment took part in the unsuccessful defence of Alicante. In 1710, part of the regiment took part in the expedition in Languedoc.
After the war, in 1714, most marine regiments were disbanded. However, this regiment was retained and converted into a line infantry regiment designated as the "Sir Henry Goring's Regiment of Foot", ranking 31st. Till 1751, the regiment would be known by the names of its successive colonels.
During the Jacobite Uprising, in 1715, the regiment was sent to Scotland but was not directly involved in any engagement.
From 1716 to 1739, the regiment assumed garrison duty in Ireland.
In 1739, the regiment returned to England.
In 1740, at the outbreak of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48), the regiment was encamped at Windsor and on Lexden Heath, near Colchester. On May 17, 1742, it embarked at Deptford for Flanders. On June 27, 1743, it took part in the Battle of Dettingen where it received its nickname of "Young Buffs". In 1744, it campaigned in France in the region of Lille. On May 11, 1745, the regiment fought in the battle of Fontenoy where it suffered heavy losses. On July 9, it was also involved in an action near Ghent in a vain attempt to relieve the city. In October, the regiment was recalled to Great Britain after the victory of the Pretender at Prestonpans. However the regiment did not proceed to Scotland but remained in the vicinity of London. In 1746, once the uprising quenched, many British regiments returned to Flanders, but the present regiment remained in Great Britain.
In 1749, the regiment embarked for Minorca where it remained for the three following years.
On July 1 1751, when a Royal warrant reorganised the British infantry, the regiment was designated as the "31st Regiment of Foot".
In 1752, the regiment returned to Great Britain where it was initially stationed in England.
In 1755, the regiment proceeded to Scotland, in which country it remained for seven years, mostly in Glasgow.
As per a resolution dated September 20 1756, a second battalion was exceptionally added to the regiment. In 1758, this second battalion became the 70th Regiment of Foot.
During the Seven Years' War, the regiment was under the command of:
- from May 8, 1749: Colonel Henry Holmes (died as lieutenant-general in 1762)
- from August 20, 1762: Colonel James Adolphus Oughton
In 1765, the regiment was sent to North America where it assumed garrison duty in Pensacola in Florida.
Service during the War
As of May 30 1759, the regiment was stationed in Scotland and counted 1 battalion for a total of 900 men. The same year, it returned to England.
The regiment did not take part in any campaign during the war.
In June 1762, the regiment proceeded from Scotland to England, where it was stationed during the two following years.
|brick red lined buff and laced white (white braid with a green central stripe) with 3 pewter buttons and 3 white buttonholes (same lace as above) under the lapel; a red swallow nest laced white (same lace as above) on each shoulder
|brick red edged white (same lace as above)
|brick red
|white with black buttons
brown, grey or black during campaigns (black after 1759)
|Leather Equipment
Troopers were armed with a "Brown Bess" muskets, a bayonet and a sword.
Officers of the regiment wore the same coat as the private soldiers but with the following differences:
- silver gorget around the neck
- a silver aiguilette on the right shoulder
- silver lace instead of the normal lace
- a crimson sash
Officers wore the same headgear as the private soldiers under their command; however, officers of the grenadier company wore a more decorated mitre cap.
Officers generally carried a spontoon; however, in battle some carried a musket instead.
The drummers of the regiment were clothed in buff, lined, faced, and lapelled on the breast with red, and laced in such manner as the colonel shall think fit for distinction sake, the lace, however, was of the colours of that on the soldiers' coats.
The front or fore part of the drums was painted buff, with the king's cypher and crown, and the number "XXXI" under it. The rims were red.
King's Colour: Union with its centre decorated with a rose and thistle wreath around the regiment number "XXXI" in gold Roman numerals.
Regimental Colour: buff field with the Union in the upper left corner. In the centre of the colour was painted, or embroidered, in gold Roman characters, the number "XXXI" within a wreath of roses and thistles on the same stalk.
N.B.: since this regiment exceptionally counted 2 battalions, the colours of the 2nd Battalion were distinguished by a flaming ray superposed to the upper left branch of the saltire.

Back in December I did a post on the Whole Glam Lot set by Soap & Glory and I mentioned that I wanted to share mu favourite products by the brand. I haven't tried many of their makeup products so this is purely body products. I've been using Soap & Glory for years and they are definitely my go-to when it comes to my body care. They're inexpensive considering how much product you get but I do always pick them up when they have a 3 for 2 offer on at Boots.

"We have found our custody to community resettlement partnership with HMP Forest Bank to be extremely successful. For over eight years now we have maintained over 90% external engagement rates with inmates when released and a sub 10% reoffending rate as we have reintegrated ex-offenders back into local communities via our regional centres throughout Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Offering progressive pathways to inmates is crucial in order to see a reduction in re-offending which is why I am particularly excited about our developing work with industries through which we can offer clear work skills training and employment opportunities."

Thieves, Cyborgs & Hitmen: The Humble Square Enix Bundle
$15 is a very fair price for Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut, Just Cause 2, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and Kane & Lynch 2, if you don't already own them. It's still not bad even if you do have some. That you'd also get at least a dozen other games, ranging in quality from old Thief (at the high end) to Daikatana (on the low), is just gravy.
Square Enix are flogging 16 or so games cheap in the latest Humble Bundle, coming in three tiers depending on how much you fancy spending. It's well worth a look.
The cheapest tier, pay-what-you-want above $1, gives Thief, Hitman, Hitman 2, Anachronox, Daikatana, and Mini Ninjas. Some of those are jolly good, and well worth whatever you deem them worth. Paying above the average (currently $7.99) also gets you Hitman: Absolution, Deus Ex: Invisible War, the PC port of Deus Ex: The Fall, access to the free-to-play Nosgoth's beta, Battlestations: Midway, and a yet-to-be-revealed game (or games). Then $15 gets you the whole lot and those other fancy games.
You've probably picked up a fair few of these before, but it's a good load of gaming. It's also pretty much everything of note Square Enix has released on PC. New games like new Tomb Raider, new Thief, and, er, Murdered: Soul Suspect are understandably absent, of course.
I know how buying bundles goes: you plonk all the games in your Steam account then only ever play two or three. Assuming that you've already played most of the big names in this bundle, I will recommend that you try Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. That game gets a bum rap. It wears out its welcome towards the end, but I had a ball earlier on, playing a balding middle-aged dude who's stuck with terrible guns, pissing away ammo until he's forced to scramble closer to enemies to pick up more or swap weapons. It had a very enjoyable feeling of purposeful ineptness. Then ruins it all by handing out snazzy assault rifles. And its dirty, wet, neon-glazed Shanghai is still one of my favourite video game cities.
The Humble Square Enix Bundle will run for the next fortnight.

I have had both detox and massage sessions at Covellite and loved them both. I have to admit that some of my massage appointments have been at the last minute and Terri has always done her best to get me in the day I call. My husband and I have also had several couples massages. We've never been disappointed and always left feeling fabulous. Whether you go to resolve a problem or just to be relaxed, this is the place to be!
Cheryl N.
First time with Terri and she was amazing! So grateful for a pain relieving massage, my entire body thanks you!
Crystal S.
Terri is very knowledgeable. You can tell how passionate she is in doing massage therapy. Honestly the best massage I've ever had! I highly recommend this place!
Kathy H.
Exceptional therapeutic massage - Terri has an outstanding knowledge of her craft and makes excellent recommendations to help you. Very peaceful atmosphere as well.
Emilee P.
Great massages, friendly staff, inviting atmosphere. After 2 massage sessions with Terri, my stiff neck and upper back pains are gone! I highly recommend this place.
Jennifer K.
My husband and I just had a couples massage. We have been to different places such as Bellagio in Windham. This was so much better than any place we have gone to! Personalized attention before, during, and after. Kim and Terri really listened to our needs and preferences. They were spot on and by far the best massages! We will be back for sure!
Lisa C.
Highly recommend this place. Very educated massage therapists. Better than doctors! I cannot wait to return.
Jane W.
Very impressive. Professional. Great massage! Educational.
Caryn M.
Great place, friendly atmosphere and therapists are top notch!
Michelle R.
So lucky to have found Terri at Covellite! She is friendly, knowledgable and gives a fabulous massage. Very willing to give "at home" tips on how to relieve muscle aches too. She uses some different techniques that were new to me but they sure helped relieve the kinks. I highly recommend Covellite Holistics and hope to make massage part of my monthly routine.

Victor Serge's Retour à l'Ouest (1936-1940)
Have you been putting any of this in the libcom library?
no, this would mean more work

- George Fontenis on a life of militancy and the future of the libertarian alternative (2005)

I got these two from this post of yours, #3 on this thread.
Some time ago the »Archiv Karl Roche« (Hamburg, Germany) has published a complete PDF-version of the "Schwarz-Rot-Buch. Dokumente über den Hitler-Imperialismus"" [Black-Red-Book. Documents on Hitler-Imperialism], edited by the "Gruppe Deutscher Anarcho-Syndikalisten" (DAS - Group of German Anarcho-Syndicalists) in Barcelona in 1937 (sorry, only German language).
A Spanish edition is also available, »El nazismo al desnudo«, which was published by the Comité Nacional de CNT in March 1938 (one PDF-file).
The book contains a vast amount of original documents by German Nazi-Organisations active - esp. underground and undercover - in Spain prior to the general's putsch. These documents fell into the hands of the German comrades in July 1936 in Barcelona, and were completed from finds in other cities where the putsch had failed and Hitler's agents had to leave quickly. It is one of the most important - and most sought-for (at least it was ) - sources on Nazi-machinations in Spain before July 1936.
The book (German version) is split up into smaller PDF-portions to make the download easier (scroll down the page to "Inhaltsübersicht " - the PDF-parts are highlighted).
The link to the Spanish version is just above "Vorwort".

Have had this for a little while now and it definitely doesn't disappoint.
I was rather reluctant to try once received, but with plenty of lube and persuasion it's amazing. :-).
My poor hubby was feeling a little, how can I say, put out to begin with, but soon came round to the idea.

- Size and how real it feels.

- No negatives.
- Bottom line
- 10/10.

This toy does not disappoint. Great shimmering purple colour with vein detail.
If you're used to the size get stuck in. If not I would advise warming up with lots of lube and a smaller toy first.
The SO loves this toy. Firm, filling and satisfying - always causes a squirt!

Wow, it's big
Reviewed: 29 June 2019 by bladerider
Recently I've wanted to see the wife stretched and take a bigger cock, and although she was a little reluctant at first, after buying some larger toys and having some great play and fun she now enjoys the experience.
I ordered this without her knowing as a surprise gift. The day it arrived we had arranged to go out for lunch and to the cinema as I was finishing work early. When I got home she told me that a parcel had arrived for me. I told her it was a gift for her and opened it in front of her.
In the 20 years we have been together I swear I have never seen her so "gobsmacked". She said I hope your not hungry and let's go try it now. She has never done anything like this before. So within 5 mins of it being opened, it was washed, lubed and finding its way into her wet pussy.
It's big, to be honest, unless experienced in these things perhaps a little too big for those just venturing out in large toys. It's easy to hold when using it on her, and you can grip it well. It was a little large for her on our first attempt, and although we managed to get it in, she said it was a little uncomfortable. This did not deter using it later, though, when she took it fully. It's a great toy. Not something we will use all the time, but a great addition to our collection. Thoroughly recommend to those that like "BIG".
We did manage to get to the cinema, just.
- Pros
- Size, feel and how easy it is to hold and use.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Excellent addition to your large toy collection.

What the f**k
Reviewed: 16 April 2019 by Bench, a Straight Married Female
So I purchased this for my fiancée as I wanted to see her take a big cock. She chose this one over a few others due to colour. She didn't realise how big it was.
It's a big heavy stretcher and it takes some time to get deep but a little bit of lube and this slides deep inside her juicy pussy.
After I little while with this, I gave her the real thing. Holy cow, she was so loose it felt amazing.
She won't let me use it to much because otherwise, she will want it every time because she likes it more than she's letting on.
This big cock stretches her pussy beyond words, what do I stretch her with next!
- Pros
- Size.
- Cons
- Packaging bit tacky.
- Bottom line
- Pussy-stretching monster.

Awesome Orgasms
Reviewed: 22 March 2019 by Maggie & Dave 1954
My wife has wanted to go large for some time. She is such a naughty lady. 5'5" foot five tall and a picture of innocence, but she does love a nice big cock and has had a number of well-endowed gentlemen inside her pussy as she likes to play and I like to watch. So we initially got the black version of this amazing toy and are just now about to purchase this lovely purple big guy.
We are new to Lovehoney and they have to be the best there is.
Anyway, what can I say other than my wife's pussy welcomed her first big boy inside with no problems when lubed up.
It is initially intimidating in size and weight but as soon as you get a nice thrusting motion going it slides in and out of her very easily with room to spare and she cums big every time and squirts like crazy. A couple of towels are a must. This was the first sex toy we ever bought as she's not into vibrators, but this she loves with a passion.
She now has her eye on the Bunker Buster with a 10" inch girth. She's a small lady with a big pussy.
- Pros
- Size and girth.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Delicious. Love to watch. She it buries it in deep.

First Loyalties
In relation to Ground Zero, I am an American first, a Muslim second, just as I would be at Concord, Gettysburg, Normandy Beach, Pearl Harbor or any other battlefield where my fellow countrymen lost their lives.
I like this sentence very much, which is from M. Zuhdi Jasser's WSJ opinion piece attacking Imam Rauf's Park51 project. I like it, but I'm not sure I agree with it.
I can tell you that, for myself, in relation to Ground Zero I am a New Yorker first. This was an attack on my home, not just my country; for weeks I could see the billowing smoke from my dining room window. And for years, my predominant emotion related to Ground Zero was fury that we couldn't get anything new built there, that there was this gaping hole in the heart of Manhattan and we were all just standing around yelling about it instead of rebuilding my city. I wrote about this last year and even as construction has finally started to show visible progress I still feel pretty much the same way.
I'm also ambivalent about the identification of Ground Zero as a "battlefield." America was struck in three places (four if you count each tower separately) on 9-11, and of the three sites, lower Manhattan is the least-well described as a "battlefield." United flight #93 was certainly a battlefield – the field of battle between terrorists and the last line of defense a country has, its citizenry. But lower Manhattan was the site of a massacre, not a battle. The terrorists may have thought of themselves as warriors going into battle, but I don't see why I need to flatter them by agreeing.
And I wonder about that business about being an American first and a Muslim second. It seems to me that Jasser is, inevitably, reacting as a Muslim when he says that his fellow Muslims should not be so assertive so close to Ground Zero, but should be deferential to the feelings of those who might be offended. It's not the same reaction that Imam Rauf had, obviously – but this strikes me as very much an argument between Muslims about how a Muslim should comport himself politically in America. It's not really an "American" argument at all.
But I still think there's something very important in the sentence. And I think I can capture it by turning it around:
In relation to the Iraq War, I am an American first, a Muslim second.
Right? On 9-11, Muslim terrorists attacked the United States of America. Inevitably, Muslims with no particular sympathy or affection for al Qaeda will feel uncomfortable with the fact that this atrocity was perpetrated by their fellow Muslims. Some may respond by denying the facts – al Qaeda wasn't responsible at all. Or by resorting to the "no true Scotsman" defense – the fact that they committed such an atrocity proves they weren't "true" Muslims. Some may respond by trying to "explain" the action in a manner that may sound too much like justification – chickens coming home to roost, that sort of thing. Some may respond with a zealous American patriotism – joining the military, for example – trying to prove that this Muslim, anyway, is a loyal American. Some – most, in my limited experience – are just quietly appalled at what happened, and would prefer another topic of conversation. The point is, it seems to me that whatever a Muslim American might feel about 9-11, it's going to be a distinctly Muslim reaction – inevitably so. Because the emotions one feels as an American are relatively simple – all the emotional conflict is on the Muslim side of the ledger, as it were.
But in relation to America's involvement in the Middle East, that's not the case. There, the emotional conflict is quite significant on the American side of the ledger. America is, after all, at war with Muslims in two countries. If you feel an identification with the victims of America's actions, the temptation – again, inevitably – will be to disown those actions, to treat America's actions as alienated from yourself rather than being actions taken by your own country, to avoid treating them as actions that you own in some sense.
I'm not in any way suggesting that endorsement of American policy is somehow incumbent on anyone – far from it. I'm not suggesting the opposite either. Emotional ownership of American behavior might lead to endorsement or opposition or something more complicated. But it would foreclose the option of alienation and retreating into an alternative identity that is explicitly or implicitly non-American.
And that's what we're worried about, if we're worried about anything, isn't it?

Re: establishing creditMilleisen Aug 6, 2008 9:55 PM (in response to tionce32)Banks typically won't give your business credit without a personal guaranty. Most small businesses are only as dependable as the person behind them, and banks know this. That's why personal guarantees are usually required. Your personal credit score will always be much more important than your business credit, so focus on making your personal credit report as pristine as possible.
Re: establishing creditAuto_Importer Aug 7, 2008 3:06 AM (in response to tionce32)
I handled this by taking out a deposit loan from a finance company. I borrowed $100k just to hold it on deposit. By agreeing to just hold the funds on deposit, the lender agreed to lend the funds to my new corp with no personal guarantee. The credit was reported to Experian Business Credit, and the money on deposit in my company name didn't look bad on my balance sheet. You can give back the money any time you want to pay off the loan.
The company I borrowed from even offers to place the cash collateral with another bank so that the bank can issue you an secured line of credit to refinance the first loan. I am still in the middle of this part of the transaction, but everything has been as expected so far. Jonathan Warren at Trade Capital Company in Las Vegas put this together for me. They can be hard to reach by phone, but easy by email, and they get it done.
