A few years ago my sister and her husband introduced me to a yummy snack—crackers with cream cheese and red pepper jelly. Yesterday afternoon I decided that it was high time I tried to make homemade red pepper jelly. My recipe filled 4 one cup jars but I left lots of headroom. Along the way I learned a few lessons.
Measurements have to be precise.
You really do have to sterilize your jars first and keep them warm as things move along quickly once you start heating the ingredients.
Don't play with the jars once you've put the lids on or you can break the gel. One of the four jars of jelly is more of a thick syrup. Sometimes you can leave it and it will set eventually but I will probably use the one that didn't gel as a glaze for roast chicken—so all is not lost. If you ever have a jelly that doesn't gel don't throw it out. You can salvage it by following the instructions from the National Center for Food Preservation website.
This jelly has the sweet flavors of red pepper combined with the heat of Tabasco Sauce. It is sweet and not overly spicy.
Wash the jars lids and seals. Make sure that you only use new seals. Preheat the oven to 225ºF. Set the jars in the oven to sterilize them and leave them there until ready to use. Make sure any tongs, ladles or spoons that you use have been sterilized as well.
Remove the stems, seeds and membrane from the red peppers. Coarsely chop the peppers and then pulse in a food processor or blended until finely minced. Place the peppers in a fine mesh strainer and place over a bowl to drain. Stir the peppers and press them against the sides of the strainer to release the juices.
When you have a cup of juice, place it in a pot. Turn the burner on high and add the sugar, Tabasco sauce and apple cider vinegar. Heat to boiling and stir occasionally. Once the mixture is boiling remove it from the heat and add the liquid pectin. Return the mixture to the heat and bring it back to the boil. When it reaches a full boil let it continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam as it will cloud the jelly—be careful as the mixture will be very hot.
Ladle the jelly into the jars from the oven leaving 1/4 inch headroom in each jar. Use a damp cloth to wipe the outer edges of the jars clean. Screw on the lids and rings. The heat from the jelly will help the jars seal.
Sit the jars on the counter for 24 hours and do not move or disturb them. The lids should not have any give. If they do then the seal didn't take but you can still use it as it will keep in the fridge for one month.
Jelly is best stored in the fridge but can be kept in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Once the seal is broken, store the jelly in the fridge for one month.
Oooh, I love pepper jelly. I did not manage to make any last year from my beautiful peppers, but I hope to this year, as I miss it! I have been reading the Harvest Forum on Gardenweb.com and the folks there write about Habanero Gold pepper jelly made with dried apricots I am looking forward to making with a bit milder pepper.
Thanks for visiting Henbogle, I'll be back often to visit here and at your other sites. I was reading about your foil pouched seafood that you can only buy in the states and laughed — I'm looking forward to getting to New Brunswick so that I can buy some of my favorite King Cole Tea!
I am in Ontario and can buy King Cole Tea here too. It's my favorite.
It's interesting how we take some products that are readily available to us for granted. It made things quite challenging when writing a cookbook to suit both the Canadian and American marketplaces.
Anyway, I'm off to explore more of your blog.
I recently tried red pepper jelly from whole foods. I never knew what it was until I had it with some Carr's crackers and cheese. Oh, it was so delectable!

Q: JQuery fadeOut when the mouse is not moved I have this jQuery code that fadeIn and fadeOut a child div on it's parent div hover. I want the child div to fadeOut after five seconds if the mouse is still hovering on the parent div but the mouse is not moving. And if it starts moving again the child div shows up again. You can see an example of what I mean in this short 20sec video: Here is the my code so far:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#parent_div").hover(function(){
        $("#child_div").fadeIn(500);
    },
    function(){
        $("#child_div").fadeOut(500);
    });
});

A: A likely better approach is to use the "mousemove" event on the parent instead of the the "hover" event. See the code below:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var childDiv = $("#child_div").hide() // start with the child hidden
      , throttle
      , fadingIn

    $("#parent_div").mousemove(function(event){
        clearTimeout(throttle) // clear the previous 5 second clock

        if (!fadingIn) { // don't runfadeIn() while the element is fading in
         fadingIn = true
         childDiv.stop(true).fadeIn(500, function () {
                fadingIn = false
            });
        }

        throttle = setTimeout(function () { // create a timer to fade out child
            childDiv.fadeOut(500);
        }, 5000) // wait 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds) until it fades out the child
    });
});
#parent_div {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background: #aaa;
    padding: 50px
}

#child_div {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background: #999;
}

A: You need to use mousemove event to do this work. When mouse is moving on element, use fadeIn() and set a timer using setTimeout(). In timer and after multipe seconds use fadeOut().

var timer;
$("#parent").mousemove(function(){
    clearInterval(timer);
    $("#child").fadeIn(500);
    timer = setTimeout(function(){
        $("#child").fadeOut(500);
    }, 2000);
}).mouseleave(function(){
    $("#child").fadeOut(500);
});
#parent {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    border: 1px solid black;
}

#child {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: green;
    display: none;
}

Don't know about y'all but I for one am sick of the election cycle..!
Every year without fail we go through the same ol' same ol' BS... It makes absolutely no difference whether it is local,state or federal elections...we see the same things repeated without fail! Politicians point the proverbial finger at their opposition blaming them for governments failure to to improve the lives of the electorate! It make no difference whatsoever if the politician is : Democrat,Republican,Independent,Libertarian ,Vegetarian or whatever else they may label themselves.
The end result is always the same...during their 2,4,6 year term in office they spend the entire time scratching each others proverbial backs...amassing fortunes for kickbacks,insider trading deals,and God only knows what else...they forget about those who put them into office sorta/kinda amnesia sets in...I see,hear know nothing... akin to Sgt Schultz from the old TV series Hogans Heros!
The last few months of their term in office is spent asking/begging for donations from their electorate... just donate $5,10,15,20...hundreds or thousand more so we can campaign against our opposition who are to blame for y'alls lowered standard of living,lack of security,crime,perversion etc etc!
Well s*** howdy the only ones who seem to benefit from all the donations are the politicians and the media...print,internet,radio and tv who receive most the money for campaign ads...and for the most part are negative ads against the opposition who are in fact their best buds in office until the election cycle starts once again! I do believe it is past due time to limit the amount of money politicians can receive/spend for campaign ads...Let's say $5000 for local $50,000 for state and $100,000 for federal...the media should be required to host debates ( given a tax deduction for the debate~ on print or air time) and limited to what the politician voted for in the past,what they plan on voting for while in office,their education,experience, social and fiscal views on life...and then be held accountable for their actions while in office based on what they promised to deliver!
Politicians should also be required to pass a full field background investigation before being placed on any ballot and must pass with flying colors or be eliminated from running for office! #Period EOS
And for the record the intent of the US Constitution for federal,state or local elected officials was not for a career position...it was intended to have a rotation of 'We the People' in order to avoid corruption and a monarchy from taking over the process...also to be able to introduce fresh and new ideas into the process of government! We need term limits on Congress as well as the SCOTUS and appointments to the Federal Appeals Courts as is the case for POTUS...!
Washington school shooter Jaylen Fryberg's personal struggles revealed on social media
Tweet: 'I hate that I can't live without you'
By Jason Sickles, Yahoo
Social media posts penned by the shooter in Friday's rampage at a Washington State high school portray a head-over-heels teenager who grew more and more tormented when the relationship fell apart.
Alleged Washington school shooter Jaylen Fryberg (Instagram)
Authorities have identified the gunman as Jaylen Fryberg. Fryberg's Facebook page shows him living in Tulalip Bay, nine miles from Marysville-Pilchuck High School where police say two students were killed and at least four others injured in the Friday morning shooting.
"I can't believe I just witnessed a shooting," Austin Joyner, a student at the school, said on Twitter. "Kid came into the cafeteria and walked over to a table and pulled out the gun and shot 4-6 shots at students sitting down."
The Seattle Times reported that several students told them that Fryberg, a freshman, was responsible. Kobe Baumann, 14, told the paper that he was with Fryberg in English class right before the shooting, and that he appeared kind of nervous.
"He sits right up in the front," Baumann said. "He got called on but he just kept his head down and didn't really say anything."
Fryberg's social media accounts tell of his interests in sports, music, hunting, Native American activities and family affairs. He posted many pictures of him and the same girl, often commenting about his crust.
"I love you baby girl," Fryberg wrote when he posted their picture on his Instagram account. "I promise to love you for the rest of my life."
Girl You My Angel. Your My Darling Angel😍🙌
— Jaylen Fryberg (@frybergj) June 20, 2014
He was clearly still smitten at the beginning of the summer, but somewhere along the way his messages took a sour turn.
I hate that I can't live without you😤😡😫😔😫😡😡😡😣😒😒😒😒😨😪😧😦😟😶😶😶😶😶
— Jaylen Fryberg (@frybergj) August 21, 2014
Jarron Webb, 15, confirmed to the Seattle Times that the shooter was angry at a girl who would not date him.
Some of Fryberg's tweets over the last few months — such as "Your not gonna like what happens next‼" — appear to be threatening, but it is unknown who he might have been targeting.
He sent his final tweet on Thursday.
Liberals vs Muslims
By Julie Love
I am starting to see a situation in which liberals, who staunchly defend the rights of Islamic terrorists as "freedom fighters" with "legitimate grievances," are going to have some really big problems with the Muslim religion. It might happen pretty soon. This religion, which they bend over backwards to accommodate, doesn't line up very well with liberal philosophies.
Liberals consider themselves champions of all women. Muslims beat, stone, and mutilate women. How can liberals keep defending this?
Liberals have placed animals above all life, including human, for decades. Muslims (I just found out yesterday by reading one of our articles) don't like dogs. How will elite liberals feel when they can't carry Schoompsie-poo in their Gucci bag to democratic fundraisers?
Liberals have been shoving the LGBT agenda down our throats for years now. Muslims punish homosexuality by death.
Liberals aren't really crazy about religion. They have pushed to remove all references to God and the Bible from public places for decades, even though our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic. In Islam, not being a believer is punishable by death. They do give that choice convert OR die, which is so nice. But, still.
The only thing keeping Muslims from killing women, homosexuals and beloved pets right now is the armed Christian standing between them.
Shouldn't all Americans, on both sides of the aisle, be against violence toward women? Shouldn't we all protect our domesticated American pets? Shouldn't we all be ready to physically defend our gay friends and neighbors? Shouldn't we all be protecting the religious liberties granted under the first amendment?
Don't you?
Horrible! Muslim Terrorists Execute More than 700 Men and Boys
By Onan Coca
Now we know how ISIS has maintained control of such a large area since announcing their "caliphate."
A new report from the Washington Post uncovers an ISIS massacre that took place in August, when ISIS thugs murdered more than 700 men and boys in response to an uprising. The Shaitat tribe was forced to sign a truce with ISIS after ISIS armed themselves with US weapons from Iraq and invaded their community.
One Shaitat fighter said, "we realized we had no hope. We were surrounded. We wanted to save our people."
The Shaitat lived under the boot of ISIS for less than a month before things fell apart.
A tribesman was publicly beheaded, the violent act created an uproar in the town, and the locals banded together to push the ISIS terrorists out of their town. Their victory was short-lived. Soon the evicted terrorists returned with reinforcements and what happened next is one of the most disgusting chapters in the ISIS history books.
The cost of turning against the Islamic State was made brutally apparent in the streets of a dusty backwater town in eastern Syria in early August. Over a three-day period, vengeful fighters shelled, beheaded, crucified and shot hundreds of members of the Shaitat tribe after they dared to rise up against the extremists.
By the time the killing stopped, 700 people were dead, activists and survivors say, making this the bloodiest single atrocity committed by the Islamic State in Syria since it declared its existence 18 months ago.
A photo essay on an Islamic State blog boasted of the different ways tribesmen were killed, including beheadings, mass shootings and a crucifixion. A video shows how the militants lined up scores of captives on a road, their hands bound, then set about clumsily decapitating them, one by one. The executioners, speaking in Tunisian, Egyptian and Saudi accents, taunted those not yet dead by swinging severed heads in front of their faces and telling them, "It's your turn next."
This is what the Islamic caliphate has wrought in Syria and Iraq. This is what happens when Islamic terrorists establish a theocracy … among their own people. What do you think would happen if they established one among us Westerners? The time to fight back against the Islamic scourge is now.
Is the NAACP Planning to Deliberately Deceive Voters in North Carolina So They Can Overturn the Voter ID Law?
Rev. Dr. William Barber of the NC NAACP
By Jennifer Burke
This isn't just voter fraud. This is an allegation of planned manipulation of black voters in North Carolina by the NAACP in support of activist Attorney General Eric Holder's lawsuit against the voter ID requirement in North Carolina. The plan seems targeted, well-developed, and quite sinister in nature. If true, then it shows that the NAACP wants to create chaos in order to cry racism and use that as leverage to throw out voter ID requirements in the state of North Carolina.
Judicial Watch obtained a copy of the letter which references a speech given by Dr. Rev. William Barber, who heads the NAACP in North Carolina, at the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP. In his speech, the letter alleges that Barber encouraged those in attendance to mislead voters on Election Day. He wants NAACP members to lead blacks to believe that they do not need to register to vote prior to the election and that there is no such thing as an assigned polling station, that they can vote anywhere.
Grandpa Goes Second Amendment on Three Home Invaders Trying to Rape His Granddaughter
Three Suspects: Brandon C. Stephens, Jamar Hawkins, Jamie Lee Faison
By TPNN Staff
A homeowner and grandfather, Kenneth Byrd, 67, exercising his Second Amendment rights, shot at three men who had invaded his home and were attempting to rape his 19-year-old granddaughter, according to sheriff department reports obtained by WBTW.
The home of Mr. Byrd, located in Lumberton, North Carolina, was invaded by three masked thugs when they stormed through the front door, as WBTW reports:
Two of three men – all wearing black clothes, ski masks and gloves — stormed into the house and demanded money, officials said.The grandfather and his wife ended up in the back of the house and were directed at gunpoint to open a safe. The three men were all armed and tried to rape the teen girl, officials said.The 67-year-old grandfather managed to grab a gun and shot all three of the suspects. The suspects fired back and the grandfather was hit several times, deputies said.
One of the suspects has died, while the other two are hospitialized and will be charged upon their release.
The grandfather, Mr. Byrd, was shot several times, and is in critical condition in ICU, according to a Facebook post from a relative.
The Sheriff's Office identified the suspects as Brandon Carver Stephens, 28, Jamar Hawkins, 17, and Jamie Lee Faison, 20, who died after the incident.
Sheriff Kenneth Sealey told the Fay Observer that the trio are believed to be involved in other home invasions.

Report: Obama Plans To Bring Ebola-infected Africans To The U.S. For Treatment
by Howard Portnoy
I have the utmost respect for Judicial Watch. Without that group's tireless efforts to expose the seamy underbelly of the Obama administration through FOIA lawsuits, the nation would be in far worse shape than it is today.
Nevertheless, I have to call shenanigans on its latest claim, which simply doesn't seem possible, even for a guy with as tenuous a grasp on reality as Barack Obama. Here is the report in its entirety:
Judicial Watch has learned that the Obama administration is actively formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S. citizens into the United States for treatment. Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis.
It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients. The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola.
One source tells us that the Obama administration is keeping this plan secret from Congress. The source is concerned that the proposal is illegal; endangers the public health and welfare; and should require the approval of Congress.
Yes, the administration has already exposed the nation to unnecessary risk by refusing to restrict travel from the hot zone, this despite overwhelming support on the part of the public for such a move. And, yes, Obama is treating the Ebola outbreak more as a political crisis for his administration than as a health crisis for America. But it's hard to imagine that he is unable to envision the backlash that would be directed at him personally if he were to unleash the plague on the American populace.
Is "Ebola Preparedness" Obama's Sick Halloween "Trick" On America?
by Erik Rush
This week, I heard a report in the local press pertaining to the precautions and "readiness protocols" that were going be used in my locality to ensure that the current threat presented by the Ebola virus would be handled prudently. Presumably, this refers to the efforts of authorities and health care workers to prevent cases from occurring locally, and to contain and effectively treat any that do arise.
I found this interesting, since (as I indicated in a column for WorldNetDaily last weekend) there are no precautions or readiness protocols in existence that can prevent cases from occurring locally, or to contain and effectively treat any that do arise, because the authorities in the U.S. have never addressed an Ebola outbreak within our borders before.
This will be exacerbated – as I stated last weekend – by the fact that the protocols for handling Ebola, a Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) infectious agent, are not being disseminated nor the proper procedures followed.

The New Testament and Civil Disobedience
by:Gary DeMar
The New Testament has similar accounts of resistance or civil disobedience to tyranny that are found in the Old Testament. When Peter and John were ordered by the rulers and elders of the people to stop preaching in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:18), the two apostles refused to follow their command: "Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop speaking what we have seen and heard" (4:19‑20). Peter and John could not stop speaking what they had seen and heard because they had been commanded by Jesus to preach in His name (cf. Matt. 28:18‑20; Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 9:16).
On another occasion, some of the apostles were arrested for preaching and healing in the name of Jesus. Again, they were put in a "public jail" (Acts 5:18). During the night "an angel of the Lord . . . opened the gates of the prison" and commanded them to disobey the rulers of Israel: "Go your way, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of life" (5:20). When the apostles again were confronted with the command not to preach and teach, their response was quick and sure: "We must obey God rather than men" (5:29).
The apostles' obedience to God conflicted with the desires of the State. This resulted in the first apostolic death at the hands of a civil authority: "Now about that time Herod the king [Agrippa I] laid hands on some who belonged to the church, in order to mistreat them. And he had James the brother of John put to death" (12:1‑2).
Peter was later arrested for similar "crimes" against the State (12:3). Obeying God rather than men is legitimate. God certainly set the example when He sent one of His angels to release Peter from prison (12:6‑8).
Either God or man is ultimately sovereign. When these sovereignties clash and conflict, the Christian, first a citizen of heaven (Phil. 3:20), must obey God rather than men. "William Tyndale (1490) taught that the truths of Scripture had authority over both the state and the church. Partly for this 'heresy,' government authorities in England tried to capture him, but Tyndale evaded them for years. He was finally caught, tried as a heretic, and executed in 1536."[1]
There are restrictions on Caesar's sovereignty, and by extension the sovereignty of all rulers, because we are told to "render to God the things that are God's," and Caesar is under God. The things that are God's did not belong to Caesar, and what legitimate authority Caesar did possess had been given to him by God (Rom. 13:1). Did Jesus give Caesar, and by analogy all civil governments, unlimited authority to rule without regard to God's commandments? Whatever else Matthew 22:21 can tell us, and it can tell us a lot, we know that Scripture limits the sovereignty of Caesar.
When Christians protest against unjust judicial decisions and overreaching congressional laws, they are often enjoined by their critics to remember that Caesar should be followed no matter what. The assumption seems to be that once "Caesar" speaks, there can be no objection or political action to challenge "Caesar." But we do not live under Caesar! The Caesars have been dead for nearly two millennia. We live under a constitutional system with checks and balances, built-in limitations of power, and a mechanism whereby political changes can be made. Americans can change the balance of power in government my using the right and freedom to vote.
Our "Caesar" is the United States Constitution, each state constitution, and the will of the people to make changes to their government. The First Amendment states that we can "petition the government for a redress of grievances." If this fails, Christians are still left with a final resolve – to resist – to obey God rather than men.
Contrary to Obama Constitution Does Not 'Guarantee' Same-Sex Marriage
In an interview with the New Yorker, President Obama said he thinks "the Equal Protection Clause [of the U.S. Constitution] does guarantee same-sex marriage in all 50 states." He better think again.
It seems that every new law that's being imposed on us is built on the foundation of the Fourteenth Amendment, the most litigated part of the Constitution. It's a legal wax nose easily shaped to fit every liberal cause.
Any group, real, imagined, or manufactured can appeal to the Fourteenth Amendment for the creation of a new set of rights.
These renegade judges are making laws out of thin air. There is no moral basis for their decision regarding sexual behavior which is fundamentally different from a person's skin color.
How is it rationally possible to think that same-sex couples, when compared to heterosexual couples that were designed to procreate and live together as a couple made one (Gen 2:24), are in the same definitional category? The Constitution does not say a thing about same-sex marriage. In fact, it doesn't say anything about marriage. It doesn't say anything about murder, rape, stealing, etc. the Constitution rests on something more morally foundational.
There is no discrimination taking place when a statute says that people of the same sex cannot marry since the law applies to everyone equally. There is no special class called homosexuals. The entire LGBTQIAA alphabet soup is a social construct. People may want to identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual as well as be an Ally of the movement, but making up designations does not change the fundamentals that make marriage what marriage is by Someone's design.
But how do we arrive at a definition of marriage? Lawyers who have tried to defend "traditional" marriage have done a poor job since neither they nor the courts have a moral pou sto, a moral place to stand. What basis for morality are judges using today as the foundation for their rulings? There was a time when there was a prevailing worldview where it was agreed that God was the "Supreme Judge of the world," as the Declaration of Independence states.
Lawyers trying to defend against same-sex marriage go before judges are ill-equipped since they, like the judges they face, have made a back room deal that there is no higher law than man. Humanistic law has been the foundation for jurisprudence since Darwin's On the Origin of Species was published in 1859.
The first book-length critique of Darwinism was written by Charles Hodge (1797–1878), professor of systematic theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. Hodge's What Is Darwinism? ((Charles Hodge, What is Darwinism? And Other Writings on Science and Religion, eds. Mark A. Knoll and David N. Livingstone (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1994).)) was published in 1874 and expanded his earlier assessment of the theory that appeared in his multi-volume Systematic Theology[1] that was ublished in 1873. His critique of Darwinism was "based on his central objection that Darwin's theories excluded intelligent design from any part of natural selection or evolution. Therefore, to Hodge, Darwinism was in effect atheism and by its very nature incompatible with Christianity."[2]
Hodge wrote that Darwinism "excludes God; it excludes intelligence from everything."
With God out of the frame, everything is permissible and flexible. If an inert chemical bath that spontaneously appeared billions of years ago can evolve into you and me, then people with incompatible sex organs can get married.
It's here that today's judges stand, and it's here that defenders of so-called traditional marriage also stand. They have no defense.
Rosaria Champagne Butterfield "was a tenured English professor at Syracuse University, a skeptic of all things Christianity, and in a committed lesbian relationship. Her academic specialty was Queer Theory, a postmodern form of gay and lesbian studies. Today Butterfield is a mother of four, a homemaker, and wife of a Presbyterian pastor named Kent. They live in Durham, North Carolina."
What made the difference? It came by way of a letter in response to an article she had written in a local newspaper. The letter was written by Ken Smith, then-pastor of the Syracuse Reformed Presbyterian Church:
"It was a kind and inquiring letter. Ken Smith encouraged me to explore the kind of questions I admire: How did you arrive at your interpretations? How do you know you are right? Do you believe in God? Ken didn't argue with my article; rather, he asked me to defend the presuppositions that undergirded it. I didn't know how to respond to it, so I threw it away.
"Later that night, I fished it out of the recycling bin and put it back on my desk, where it stared at me for a week, confronting me with the worldview divide that demanded a response. As a postmodern intellectual, I operated from a historical materialist worldview, but Christianity is a supernatural worldview. Ken's letter punctured the integrity of my research project without him knowing it."[3]
We need to puncture the integrity of the courts' basis for determining what is morally right or wrong. Judges need to face a Higher Court of appeal, but this will never happen if we try to make our arguments with the same materialist worldview they are using.
Given the materialist foundation for law in our society, there is no moral basis for anything in the Fourteenth Amendment, including the abolition of slavery found in the Thirteenth Amendment.
Busted: Ferguson Police Arrest Anti-Gun Dem. Senator with a Loaded 9mm
by: Melissa Melton
Guess who got arrested Monday night after she refused to get up off the ground out in the middle of the road in front of the Ferguson Police Department?
And not only arrested, but arrested while her breath reportedly reeked of alcohol and she just so happened to be carrying a fully loaded 9mm with extra ammo?
Why none other than Anti-gun Missouri Senator Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis), who has herself sponsored multiple gun control bills.
Via BizPac Review:
"Sen. Nasheed, along with another male, entered the street, were told numerous times by not only by the St. Louis County commander, but other officers on scene, that they needed to leave the street or they were subject to arrest," St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman said. "They failed to comply, and they were taken into custody."
Here she is below chanting in the street in protest of the Michael Brown shooting — which the autopsy has now revealed happened after Brown went for Police Officer Darren Wilson's gun — prior to her arrest. Police gave the Senator and her companion numerous warnings to get out of the street and back on the sidewalk before they arrested her but she refused to budge.
According to police accounts, Sen. Nasheed reeked of intoxicants, and upon booking and being formally charged with Failure to Obey Lawful Order of Police and Manner of Walking in the Roadway, she refused a breathalyzer. She has since commented that she was not drunk and that the whole thing was a "symbolic arrest":
"It was a symbolic arrest – sending a message to the protesters that we can protest peacefully and that we must protest peacefully and that we want justice for Michael Brown, but we don't want it in vain," Nasheed said outside the jail Tuesday morning.
So the Senator's message to Ferguson protesters on how to protest "peacefully" involves what police describe as "intoxicants," carrying a loaded gun, and kneeling in front of traffic in the middle of a busy street and refusing to move?
The Senator told KMOV4 that she has a concealed carry permit, yet police seized her gun and the rounds upon her arrest. When KMOV4 asked Ferguson Police Officer Tim Zoll why the gun was taken if Nasheed had a permit, Zoll replied, "If she had a concealed carry permit, I'm sure she would have shown it to the officers."
Sen. Nasheed had handgun on her at time of arrest, refused breathalyzer, police say
Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed had a gun in her possession at the time she was arrested Monday night outside the Ferguson Police Department, according to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson. view full article
Cop calls radio show says Nasheed was drunk They wanted to charge her but prosecutor said no http://t.co/C73OFPcqKY #Ferguson
— FroggieLeggs (@FroggieLeggs_) October 22, 2014
The officer told 97.1 FM News Talk that, "It was readily apparent that [Nasheed] was intoxicated," and "It was decided that she was going to be charged with DUW… It was a decision on behalf of the prosecutor's office to not pursue that."
How nice of the prosecutor not to pursue that. Well, the senator did say it was a "symbolic arrest."
Looking into her anti-Second Amendment dealings, Sen. Nasheed has co-sponsored several bills, including a de facto gun owner registry she added as an amendment to Senate Bill 613 that was later removed.
She sponsored similar bills in SB 556 and SB 565, both of which would require firearm owners to report the loss of a firearm to a local law enforcement agency within 24 hours at the risk of being fined $1,000. Boom: de facto registry. If the gun owner happens to possess a concealed carry permit and fail to immediately pay the $1000 fine, the permit would be suspended for a whole year. Oh, and any subsequent failures in this regard would risk the gun owner being charged with a Class A misdemeanor.
This woman also pushed for a bill that would require parents or guardians who own firearms to notify their child's school in writing that they own said firearms within 30 calendar days of enrollment.
The issue here isn't even whether or not Senator Nasheed made an ass out of herself in the street on purpose for political reasons or if she was (or wasn't) visibly intoxicated while carrying a loaded gun.
The issue here is that this woman has used her political office to sponsor multiple gun control bills which would negatively impact the lives of every lawful gun owner in the state of Missouri, while she herself is a gun owner and thus must realize her actions are in direct conflict with the Second Amendment.
Clearly the senator isn't serving the will of the people — including herself as a gun owner — but the will of her party.
President Obama,
Vice President Biden, and Attorney General Holder would be so proud.
Barack Obama Marriage Divorce Rumors: Tabloid Says That President and Michelle Obama are Breaking Up
oped: rofl bout' time the media woke up...hello~ Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Davis Obama or whatever his real name is is a fake and fraud from day one forward...his whole agenda has been centered on the gay agenda via LGBTA ,Islam and CPUSA...he is one messed up dude...Bi-sexual ~strange~ a fake and fraud a danger to the security of the USA!
I also believe the two daughters are not a union between Barry and Michelle...either adopted or a union between Michelle and a unknown!
It's a known fact Barry prefers male sexual encounters and uses women for a cover to validate being normal and for political gain...Hollywood women should do the research before falling over themselves for this fake and fraud! and Michelle you are no better your background is shady as well...the two of you should fade into history showing the world what not to fall for!
This is what happens when MSM fails to vet political candidates...as well as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid certifying Barry Barack Obama as being eligible for office when in fact it has never been proven either way about exactly who and where Barry was born and who the actual parents were...no Original LFBC has ever been released! nor has any of his college transcripts,Social Security,draft or passport records!

By Zachary Stieber, Epoch Times
President Barack Obama is going after a married Hollywood beauty, causing his own marriage to fall apart, according to a new tabloid report.
Obama and his wife Michelle Obama have been married for 22 years.
Globe magazine says in its upcoming November 3 issue that the Obama's "sham marriage" is "over."
The magazine claims that the "strartling end" comes as Barack is accused of seeking after "yet another" married Hollywood beauty.
It also claims that Michelle has a secret lover in the Secret Service.
There have been numerous reports that the Obama marriage is fake, in danger of falling apart, or has already fallen apart.
The National Enquirer tabloid, for instance, ran a series of articles late last year that alleged the marriage "explodes" over Obama flirting with Denmark's prime minister during the service for South Africa president Nelson Mandela.
Sources told the tabloid that Michelle was preparing to kick her husband out of their home and that she was pondering divorce.
"The smart money says the marriage is doomed. Barack and Michelle have had a rocky go for years and mainly stayed together for their daughters and his political career," a source said.
"But now Michelle is mad AS hell. She feels violated in front of the whole world, and screamed at him, 'I've had enough!' She's met with divorce lawyers and told Barack that she wants a life apart from him."
There were also previous claims that the marriage nearly fell apart in the early 2000s. Veteran Washington reporter Richard Wolffe, for instance, said that the couple nearly split because of Obama's political drive and their poor finances.
"There was little conversation and even less romance. She was angry at his selfishness and careerism; he thought she was cold and ungrateful," wrote Wolffe in a book titled Renegade, though he noted that they seemed to have resolved the issues prior to Obama being elected president.
Political writer Edward Klein followed that up by saying in 2012 that Barack considered suicide around that time because of the failing marriage.
More spin and twist nonsense from the Rachel Maddow Blog!
oped: Here we go again from the looney far left MSNBC ... Liberalism/Progressives who indeed suffer from a mental disease...imo they cannot pass a background check in order to purchase or obtain a CCW weapon permit so they say if I can't have one no one can...thus they attack the Second Amendment and those who support it via twist and shout taking all comments out of context!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Rachel Maddow Show / The MaddowBlog
In the 2010 midterms, Republican Senate hopeful Sharron Angle used a chilling phrase as part of her political vision: "Second Amendment remedies." In context, Angle argued that if U.S. policymakers pursued an agenda the far-right disapproved of, Americans may have to turn to armed violence against their own country.
The Republican candidate lost her Senate bid, and most of this talk receded to the fringes of right-wing politics.
It did not, however, disappear entirely from the Republicans' rhetorical quiver. Sam Levine had this report overnight.
Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, said during an NRA event in 2012 that she would use a gun to defend herself from the government.
"I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere," Ernst said at the NRA and Iowa Firearms Coalition Second Amendment Rally in Searsboro, Iowa. "But I do believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family – whether it's from an intruder, or whether it's from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important."
In the United States, if we believe our rights are being violated by the state, we turn to the courts. In Joni Ernst's world, if we believe our rights are being violated by the state, we turn to guns.
This comes on the heels of a report showing Ernst expressing support for arresting federal officials who try to implement federal laws the far-right doesn't like. Noting the two radical positions, Jamison Foser joked, "First Joni Ernst wants to arrest government employees, now she wants to shoot them?"
I realize that polls show Ernst actually leading her race, and odds are, Iowans seem prepared to put her in the Senate for the next six years. It remains a very close contest, but it's fair to say at this point that Ernst is the favorite to prevail.
With each passing day, however, we're offered new evidence that she will represent the bonkers wing of the Republican Party in the institution once described as the world's most deliberative body.
As we've discussed before, Ernst has endorsed banning abortions and many forms of birth control; nullifying federal laws she doesn't like, privatizing Social Security; and impeaching President Obama. She's argued that Saddam Hussein really did have weapons of mass destruction and people on Medicaid "have no personal responsibility for their health." She's dismissed the very existence of a federal minimum wage as "ridiculous" and credits the Koch brothers for the strength of her candidacy. She's endorsed enough conspiracy theories to qualify her as the head of a Glenn Beck fan club.
If Ernst is elected, she will immediately become one of the most radical members of the U.S. Senate in recent history.
Making matters slightly worse, the right-wing Iowan doesn't seem to know very much about public policy or current events.
I continue to believe that much of the political world is impressed with Ernst's personality, to the point that her over-the-top ideology, ridiculous conspiracy theories, policy ignorance, and twisted worldview aren't supposed to matter too much. But by any mature standard, the emerging picture of Ernst reveals the most extreme Senate candidate of 2014.
Democrats sad faces:

Bears going out on the town in N/Nevada
By: Carter Evans
RENO, Nevada - Police are after a prowler in this Reno neighborhood and Carl Lackey knows just how to track him down.
"He's right there," said Lackey. "He looked like a three or four-hundred pounder."
Lackey is a bear biologist for the Nevada Department of Wildlife. So far this year, he's documented and tagged 108 black bears -- nearly a record. Most were captured in unfamiliar territory.
The extreme drought has not only dried up rivers, it's also depleted the bears' natural food sources, forcing them farther into urban communities to feed.
He was asked if a pile of fish looked like something a bear would do.
"Yeah this is pretty typical," said Lackey. "Bear sushi."
Bears are bulking up for hibernation right now and they need to eat up to 30,000 calories a day -- the equivalent of 103 cheeseburgers.
"There is better habitat down in these neighborhoods than what a bear can find up there in the forest," said Lackey. "Everybody's got fruit trees, lots of urban ponds. It's a food buffet for a bear."
Liz Kern says at least three bears have climbed into her backyard this month. This one was caught after eating most of the fish in her pond.
She was asked if she was concerned that because the bears have come here and found food that they might return.
"Absolutely." said Kern. "They're starving right now, they're looking for food. And I don't know if we're going to be the next casualties."
Nearby, in Lake Tahoe, hungry bears have been even more invasive -- breaking and entering to raid the kitchen.
Bryce Betterly shows scratches on sliding glass. A bear pried open Betterly's door and smashed his car window.
"It's definitely nerve wracking," said Betterly. "There's a sense of security everyone has and I kind of lost that."
Animal rights activist Ann Bryant says black bears rarely attack people. They are just following their keen sense of smell,
"They're always on a search for food," said Bryant. "And if we provide an easy way for them to get that food, they're going to do it.
If these animals are just acting on instinct, people may ultimately bear the responsibility.
Limbaugh Suggests Voter Fraud May Be Only Reason Dems Stay in Power
by Josh Feldman
Rush Limbaugh believes that Democrats aren't as popular as they might seem, so why they keep holding power struck him as confusing. But in reaction to a report about possible voter fraud in Cook County, Limbaugh suspected that––voter fraud––must be a big reason for them continuing to win.
Limbaugh cited polls, as well as less-than-impressive book sales for Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo's recent books, to say Democrats aren't as popular as the media might build them up to be. Of the left in general, Limbaugh said, "They don't have any audience on their cable news shows. They're not these rock star, popular, admirable figures that people run around emulating and wish they were like."
And to him, for some Democrats to be doing well in their elections so far "doesn't make any sense." And while he didn't directly blame voter fraud in every case for Democrats holding power, Limbaugh did say 1) "that kind of stuff is happening all over the country, I'm convinced of it," and 2) "I'm really starting to be curious about the degree, the amount of voter fraud taking place out there."

Mark Levin: Obama Will Get His 'Full Mussolini On' After the Midterms
oped: Not really more like getting on his full IMAM persona...he be a radical 7th Century Islamist not a Augustus Caesar ...however he does exhibit a little Nero and Caligula perverted traits!
By Matthew Burke
Radio talk show great, constitutional scholar, and best-selling author Mark Levin, appearing with "Hannity" on FOX News Tuesday evening, predicted that after the election, Obama would become even more dictatorial with his unconstitutional executive orders, comparing him to Italy's former fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini.
When asked by Hannity what Obama would do after the upcoming midterm elections, Levin predicted that he Obama would "get his full Mussolini on," and will do everything that he can in his final two years to "screw up the country."
"I think with Obama, it's going to get worse. You're going to see his full Mussolini coming out with his pen and his phone, these executive fiats that are utterly unconstitutional. He's going to do everything that he can in the last two years of his presidency to further screw up the country, whether it's the border and amnesty, whether it's the economy, whether it's God knows what. He's been a very divisive, very damaging, very counterproductive president and so has his Party. And that's why we need to throw Harry Reid out of the United States Senate."
Levin blasted both parties, saying that Democrats "need a good swift kick in the ass this election," and that the country has "gone to hell" under Obama and the Democrats and that "everybody knows it."
"None of these Democrats that are running are moderates: they're all radicals," he told Sean Hannity. "They all believe in massive centralized government," he assessed.
Levin told Hannity that the "Republicans are running a very quiet campaign; they're not standing up for any principles, very little substance. This is an enormous opportunity to expand the Republican Party, to build it, to create momentum for 2016, and they're not doing it."
Hannity agreed, saying that the Republicans have "been timid and afraid of their own shadows. They haven't inspired people to go out and vote for them. It's more, 'things are so bad,' that's why they're getting the votes."

Sarah Palin Fights for Louisiana Conservative
Fellow Conservatives:
I just got back from Louisiana and let me tell you – there is real momentum there for Col. Rob Maness (R-LA), the conservative candidate running to replace liberal Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in the U.S. Senate.
Rob is a bold new leader with a record of success, courage, loyalty, and strength. He's a conservative, a U.S. military vet, and, as testified by his many supporters that I met in one heck of a campaign rally, he's one of us!
Have you seen Rob's first TV ad? He had me at gator wrestling! He's obviously tough enough to take on the career politicians and the alligators in the swamp.
Rob's momentum has really got the permanent political class scared back in D.C. The Democrats dread Rob's momentum building as the November election draws near, but now the GOP establishment is starting to go nuts!
The professional politicians are snapping at the Colonel like a hungry gator; they're trying to get him out of the race so they can have Congressman Bill Cassidy – their hand-picked, establishment candidate.
Stand up to the DC career politicians and send a true conservative fighter to Washington who will shake up the status quo!
With all due respect, after the good ol' boys in the GOP machine have served America for 32 years wearing our nation's uniform, been in combat, sacrificed as much as Rob and his family have in the name of true public service for our country, and after they've literally FOUGHT for our freedom like Rob has, THEN they can kick their feet up on their comfy desks in their swank offices and talk to us about who gets to run for office and who doesn't.
Until then, conservatives in Louisiana and across this great country are going to support Col. Rob Maness for U.S. Senate.
Please help us send a true fighter to Washington this year by making a one-time contribution to Col. Rob Maness's campaign.
Rob will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with conservatives like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee in defending the Constitution and our conservative values.
But he needs your help.
Rob is running a campaign like I did in my first race -- in his truck, visiting every corner of the state, talking with voters, and communicating a positive message of conservative solutions. And, like I was, he's being massively outspent by the career politicians.
You can make a big difference in this race and help bring real change to Washington by supporting this selfless leader.
The contrasts in this U.S. Senate race couldn't be clearer. This really is a race between "two of them versus one of us" – two Washington politicians versus an American hero, Col. Rob Maness.
He's got the momentum; please keep it up. We need him!

White Family Beaten After Black Bus Driver Arranges Attack
We've heard so much about the shooting of black teens by white cops in Ferguson, Dayton and St. Louis, but have you heard anything about the black city bus driver who helped organize a black mob attack of white family? Didn't think you had.
Karen Murphy is black and was a bus driver in Baltimore. A white family of three got on her bus and she told them to move to the back of the bus. They told her that the back was already full. That's when, according to the mother of the family:
"[The bus driver] got out of her seat belt, stood up screaming [in] both of our faces, 'Don't tell me how to do my job. If you have a problem, come across this line and I'll knock you the F out.'"
When the two white adults along with their 9 year old got off the bus, a group of the students also got off the bus. Colin Flaherty, author of White Girl Bleed A Lot': The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It, explained what happened next:
"They beat and pepper-sprayed all three members of the family, choking and banging their heads on the ground – all while the bus driver waited and watched."
"After the teens were finished with the beating, they got back on the bus, and the bus drove away, offering the victims no assistance."
Flaherty also said that many of the black passengers still on the bus watched the vicious attack and 'hooted and hollered in encouragement.'

White House Covers Up Obama's Unpaid Bills
The White House is doubling down on its lame effort to hide the president's mildly embarrassing confession that he left unpaid bills in his Chicago home when he took up residence in the White House.
The White House censored the Monday night transcript of Obama's speech at a Chicago fundraiser to hide his confession of unpaid bills.
The pool reporter at the event, however, included a mention of the statement in her initial Monday night report, and then highlighted the censored passage in a late-night email to reporters. But the White House pushed back Tuesday morning by issuing an edited transcript that claimed the embarrassing statement was inaudible.

Congress Begs DOJ to Investigate Themselves and Report Findings
[uuuh Congress start with Impeachment of the three above...Biden,Obama,Holder...then take out Pelosi and Reid who certified the fraud POTUS eligibility!]
by Mark Horne
If you think the Department of Justice is going to investigate themselves, you are sadly mistaken.
This headline really irritates me. It is from the Daily Signal: "Republican Lawmakers Demand Answers From Justice Department on Operation Choke Point."
Thirty members of Congress demanded today that the Department of Justice launch an "immediate investigation" into
the agency's own Operation Choke Point and those involved in creating and implementing the initiative against enterprises that are out of favor with the Obama administration.
Led by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-Mo., the 30 lawmakers sent a letter to Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's inspector general, and Robin Ashton, head of its Office of Professional Responsibility, calling Choke Point a "blatant abuse of legal authority."
"This situation merits your full and immediate attention, and we request that you launch a comprehensive investigation on Operation Choke Point and the individuals charged with creating and carrying out this unprecedented initiative," Luetkemeyer and the 29 other lawmakers write.
The letter from House members follows one sent to the Justice Department earlier this month by six Republican senators, demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder release information about Operation Choke Point.
In this context, the word "demanded" should be translated as "begged." Thirty members of Congress are whining for the Department of Justice to begin an investigation. It is embarrassing to read their letter.
[See also, "Justice Department Harasses, Punishes, and Tries to Destroy Legal Businesses Through Banks."]
As my friend Bob Allen wrote,
Yes, sir… lawmakers are "demanding answers"… and "calling" for the Justice Department to investigate its own criminality.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Hell to freeze over on this one.
That is exactly right. Congress needs to launch its own hearings, not pretend that a hostile executive agency is going to investigate itself at the behest of Congress.
[See also, "Executive Branch Bypasses Congress to Impose Financial Sanctions on… Legal Gun Dealers."]
Asking Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to investigate themselves borders on delusional.
The Progressive Pajama Boy Era is Over
by:Daniel Greenfield
Obama's approval ratings and MSNBC's viewer ratings are in a close race to the bottom of Death Valley. It's only a question of which set of obnoxious hipsters with a head full of bad policy ideas and no real life experience will be fired first; the Maddow crew or the White House staff.
The progressive pajama boy era is over. The asexual messenger bag toting wonk has met an ISIS Jihadist and run home to its non-traditional family. Liberalism isn't over, but its contenders are trying to butch up their act.
The second coming of Hillary is accompanied by bellicose rhetoric about Putin and Syria. Leon Panetta, her gnomish errand boy, is sneering at Obama as an egghead too busy dithering about what not to do to be able to actually do anything about ISIS.
Democrats are adjusting to a new reality of less nuance and more centrist politics. So is MSNBC.
If Obama loses the Senate, then his leftist backers also lose their death grip on the Democratic Party. And that's why they're panicking so badly. Progressives proved that money and media bias could let them get away with anything. But then they lost in 2010, barely hung on in 2012, and are heading for a beating in 2014. If they can't buy the Senate now, the Democratic Party will have to correct its course.
A sober analysis of the Big Billionaire Left shows that they were good at getting Obama elected, but not much else. Like the USSR, they could pour a lot of energy and capital into inefficiently getting one big thing done, but they aren't much good at doing a lot of little things. Their hijacking of democracy ran into trouble the moment they tried to push past the White House. It was only the White House's hijacking of democracy by trying to function as a unilateral dictatorship of pen and phone that extended their influence beyond their initial defeat in 2010. And that came with its own price in popularity.
Obama's arrogance isolated him politically. He insisted on running everything and is stuck with the bill. In countless speeches he demanded more power and authority; his sinking approval ratings reflect the growing willingness of even his own supporters to hold him responsible for his unilateral policymaking.
As the election approaches, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. Not only did Obama's aggressive efforts to stoke racial unrest on the border and in Ferguson to turn out the minority voters who generally sit out midterm elections backfire, but the resulting messes deepened the popular impression that he was in over his head. Now instead of pivoting from Global Warming to a minimum wage to some offensive thing that some local Republican somewhere said, the media is stuck in an Ebola-ISIS cycle that reminds Americans on a daily basis that everything really is out of control.
The critiques from even friendly media outlets keep throwing around words and terms like "detached," "in over his head," "flailing," and "too smart for his own good." That word salad adds up to the same message as the one being peddled by Leon Panetta; America needs strong experienced leadership.
And Obama isn't it.
Obama is already receding into the imagination of liberals as the youthful folly of a political Age of Aquarius when millennials tried to levitate the Pentagon by electing a brash, inexperienced community organizer to fix the world. They are writing him off as an act of political naiveté by a war-traumatized generation still unaware of the practical limits of the real world.
And that infuriates and terrifies the left worse than anything else. The left can thrive on hostility, but it hates being dismissed by its fellow travelers as naive idealists who don't understand the real world.
But that's the historical revisionism that had been prepped and waiting in the wings all along for Obama. What the right does wrong is always attributed to malice, while the left's worst atrocities from the Gulags to the killing fields are put down to idealism gone wrong. Obama takes his place somewhere between Mao and Eugene McCarthy as the Democratic Party rushes to reinvent itself as the adult party of serious experienced political leaders like Hillary Clinton. Its message is that it's time for the Obama pajama boys to grow up and compromise on their progressive politics by voting for Hillary in 2016.
The left has few options left. Money can only buy so many votes. If Obama's base stays home, then the magical turnout operation starts looking like a lot of political consultants taking credit for the Oprah tilt of black women coming out to vote for Obama. And there is no obvious replacement for Obama.
In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio was supposed to inaugurate a new era of progressive politics by pushing so far to the left as to make Obama look like Bob Dole. Instead Bill de Blasio has been tagged by the same progressive incompetent moniker as Obama. The analogy is being drawn explicitly by liberals even in left-of-center publications like the New York Times and the Daily News.
Bill de Blasio didn't extend the progressive lifespan. He was elected just in time for everyone to be primed to expect the Obama progressive cycle of self-righteous cover-ups, thin-skinned media wars and grandiose policy announcements that go nowhere. The political future of the progressive mayor has been Obamanized off the scene. And that leaves few great hopes for the progressive cause.
Elizabeth Warren still fakes left, but she seems to know her limitations. 2018's midterm election without a president on the ballot and a different demographic makeup for the electorate could easily topple her. If she tried for the big chair, she would be run over by harder Democrat candidates faking centrist. And without Warren, all that's left are clown acts like Bernie Sanders and Seattle Socialist Kshama Sawant.
The progressive resurgence was powered by leftist billionaires and non-profits chasing power. They have the money and the organization, but they don't have the candidates. Six years of Obama produced compelling conservative figures like Ted Cruz, Trey Gowdy, and Mike Lee. There's no equivalent to them on the left. It's why liberal billionaire election spending is characterized more by the candidates that they are against rather than the ones that they are for. They have spent so much time and money battling the Tea Party that they have failed to build a post-Obama political future for their movement.
The left isn't going anywhere, but its current incarnation as the party of diversely wimpy progressives who compensate for their lack of experience with their enthusiasm and their political connections is. Obama has done a great deal for the political agendas of the left while doing a great deal of damage to the political ambitions of the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party won't forget that. Obama was thinking about transforming America, but the Democratic Party is thinking about the next four years.
The liberal verdict on the age of Obama has been written. It may change with history, but for now the Hope and Change period will be praised for its idealism and its innovative political organizing, but dismissed for its policy incompetence and its inability to listen to voices outside its bubble. It was an elitist phenomenon whose diversity was faked with media imagery and the party will now work to try and recapture its lost position among the rest of the country, particularly among white Democrats.
The progressive will continue to haunt American politics, but his current hipster incarnation is headed for extinction.

Axis Fleet Management has announced the launch of a new division, Axis Reassurance, which will bring its end of contract assets to market.
Based in Norwich, Axis Reassurance will supply tractors, rigids and trailers, all under five years old, which were previously leased and maintained by its fleet management business. Customers will have the option of purchasing or financing an asset with a three-month mechanical warranty along with a current MOT.
The vehicles will all be professionally valeted and prepared so they are ready to drive away. Many will be equipped with Axis telematics.
The new division is being spearheaded by Neville Loome who has been newly recruited to the business. Loome has spent his career working with trucks, bringing the first Volvo F86 to East Anglia in 1969. With extensive experience in retail, trade and export sales, he spent the past 17 years in the used vehicle division at MAN.
He will be supported by Steve Finn, Axis business development manager for East Anglia. Finn has worked in commercial vehicle sales for 25 years with MAN, Mercedes Benz and Iveco.
Axis managing director Leigh Goodland (pictured) said: "The launch of Axis Reassurance enables us to fully manage the life cycle of our assets and provide a quality offering to the UK used vehicles market.
"Through the high standards of maintenance and care we provide through our fleet management operations, we can deliver quality used trucks and trailers with highest levels of safety, compliance and driver wellbeing for Axis Reassurance customers.
Founded by its executive chairman, Robert Montague, Axis Fleet Management specialises in long-term contract hire and fleet management services, operating more than 3,000 assets including trucks, trailers, and rigids.
Axis Fleet Management has appointed Des Evans as a non-executive director.
Axis Fleet Management has announced the appointment of Andy Turner as its new operations director.
Lymer steps into the role after the previous incumbent, Leigh Goodland, was promoted to the role of managing director at the end of last year.


Higher incidence of oral cancer and precancer in Indian population necessitates in depth probing of various etiological and contributory factors for its early diagnosis and prognosis. In the present study serum iron, copper, zinc levels and Cu/zn ratio were estimated in control and study groups [oral leukoplakia (OL), oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)]. Estimation of these trace elements was done by colorimetric method using semi automated analyzer. Serum iron level and Cu/Zn ratio were significantly reduced while serum copper was increased significantly in OL, OSMF, and OSCC. The comparison of these trace elements between study groups was also found to be significant. Thus, assessment of Cu, Zn, Fe and Cu/Zn ratio can be used as auxiliary test to clinicopathological diagnosis and prognosis of oral precancer and cancer.
Objective: To study the blood pressure range in 1200 dental patients, at the PMNM Dental College and Hospital, Bagalkot. Material and Methods: A total of 1200 screened, 248 patients were studied for hypertension (HTN) status. Data collected using specially prepared proforma, with provision for recording of blood pressure. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of HTN by a physician or presentation of patient with systolic blood pressure reading greater than 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg. Results: Out of 1200 patients 248 patients met the inclusion criteria, 102 were previously diagnosed (57 males and 45 females) with HTN and 146 were undiagnosed previously (99 males and 47 females) but exhibited elevated blood pressure level Out of these 146 undiagnosed patients only 87 reported back after getting investigated and diagnosed as hypertensive by physician The prevalence of diagnosed HTN in the study population was 15.75%. When the 59 subject who exhibited elevated blood pressure were included, the prevalence of HTN was 20.6%. At the initial screening 8.5% of diagnosed patients and 12.2% of undiagnosed patients exhibited a high blood pressure level. Conclusion: As significant numbers of patients with HTN are visiting dental institutions, routine blood pressure measurement for all dental patients is required. Presence of high blood pressure justifies medical examination in dental patients, to prevent complications during dental treatment. Many subjects examined were unaware of their high blood pressure levels: caution is required prior to performing dental procedures.
The main aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ossification of the midpalatal suture using cross-sectional maxillary occlusal radiograph and computerized tomographic scan of the hard palate in the axial direction. The percentage of the ossification thus obtained was correlated with the skeletal maturation indicators like (CVMI categories and MP3 stages) in Group I subjects (8.0-16.0 years) and with chronological age in group II subjects (16.1-25.0 years). The radiograph of the middle phalanx of the third finger and lateral cephalogram in occlusion were taken for the Group I subjects. The total sample size of the study comprised of 21 subjects with transverse maxillary deficiency. The percentage of the ossification of the midpalatal suture was calculated using suture obliteration index described by Persson and Thilander. The results of the study revealed that the total amount of ossification of the MPS in Group I subjects with computerized tomographic scan (22.56 ΁ 3-62%) was significantly less compared to cross-sectional maxillary occlusal radiograph (5822 ΁ 3.79) at the end of skeletal maturation (p < 0-001). There was sudden spurt in the ossification of the MPS after CVMI category 4/MP3 H stage. In Group II subjects CT scan again showed significantly less amount of the ossification (40.78 ΁ 19,73) compared to maxillary occlusal radiograph (60.32 ΁ 14,41) in the total length of the MPS (p < 0.05). Thus CT scan of the hard palate showed less than 50% of the midpalatal suture ossification at the age of 25 years approximately. This was due to advantages of the computed tomographic technology. i.e. no superimposition of the overlying and adjacent structure, exact localization and accurate assessment of the MPS ossification over the conventional radiography.
Background and Objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), A chronic disease characterized by fibrosis of oral mucosa is a premalignant condition carrying a high-risk of malignant transformation. So far none of the treatment modalities have proved curative. Turmeric and its active ingredient "curcumin" are being studied upon as chemopreventive agents in various diseases. This study was carried-out to evaluate the efficacy of turmeric dispensed in two forms, namely curcumin capsules and turmeric oil in patients with OSMF both clinically and histopathologically and to compare them with conventional chemopreventive treatment Materials and Methods: Forty eight patients who were clinically and histopathologically confirmed as having OSMF were selected for the study and were randomly divided into three groups. Group I patients were given curcumin capsules. Group II turmeric oil and Group III: the control group were provided with muttinal tablets. The patients were called upon every 15 days for 3 months of treatment and then followed up every month for 6 months. The results were analyzed with Anova Technique and Students" test. Results: After treatment and follow-up statistically significant improvement was observed in the clinical signs and symptoms of patients treated with curcumin and turmeric oil when compared to those with multinal. Positive changes were also observed in the histopathological examination after treatment with curcumin and turmeric oil. Conclusion The therapy with curcumin and turmeric oil is beneficial, affordable and noninvasive form of treatment in patients with OSMF.
Ectodermal dysplasia represents a rare syndrome affecting two or more ectodermally derived structures. The condition is thought to occur in approximately 1 in every 100,000 live births. It affects men more frequently and severely, while women being the carriers and heterozygote usually show minor defects. There are more than 150 different variants of ectodermal dysplasia (ED) reported in the literature. Most commonly encountered among them is hypohidrotic ED which frequently exhibits the most severe dental anomalies like hypodontia or anodontia along with hypohidrosis and hypotrichosis. Here we make an attempt to collectively report and discuss eleven South Indian patients who reported to our department during the year 1998 to 2004. An added emphasis is laid on family history of consanguineous marriage among the parents of these patients.
The genial tubercles are a group of bony extensions that surround the lingual foramen bilaterally in the midway between the superior and inferior borders of the lingual surface of the mandible. Enlargement of genial tubercle occurs very rarely due to hypertrophy. This article focuses on a rare case showing hypertrophy of the genial tubercles.
Many lesions that occur in the jaw have a similar radiographical appearance and it is often difficult to differentiate among them. Despite development of various cross-sectional imaging modalities the radiograph still remains the first and the most important investigation. Radiographical evaluation of jaw lesion characteristics, which include location, margin, density, relation to tooth, along with knowledge of the clinical data, generally helps in narrowing the diagnosis. With advancing technology today the mutti-row scanners are used for an increasing number of indications for routine examinations. Most major research facilities use 64-slice scanners on a routine clinical basis. Computed tomography (CT) scans are not ideal for imaging soft tissues such as muscles, joints or brain, but are perfect for detecting air or calcium. CT provides very good spatial resolution, that is the ability to distinguish between two separate structures that are very close together. But precision in identifying these calcified structures could be upregulated by the use of this normal routine specialized technique along with a software, which uses in its principle methods to quantity and qualitate the density.
Nonsyndromic familial hyperdontia/supernumerary teeth is a rare disorder of odontogenesis characterized by an excess number of teeth with familial background. They can be supplemental (resembling natural teeth), conical, tuberculate or molariform Early clinical and radiographic examination of the supernumerary teeth allow for optimal yet minimal treatment. This article reports two rare cases of nonsyndromic hereditary hyperdontia both in the maxillary anterior region. First case report with bilateral mesiodentes palatal to the central incisors in sister and brother and second case report with presence of fused mesiodentes in father and conical mesiodens in son. Though the exact etiology of this dental anomaly remains unclear, genetics as key factor in development of supernumerary teeth is highlighted.
Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare disorder transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. It is characterized by photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, premature skin aging, and malignant tumor development. The frequency of this disorder is approximately 1 case per 250.000 population. Two important causes of mortality are metastatic malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Here xeroderma pigmentosum in three siblings presenting with variable expressions is reported. The seventy of the condition was more in one of the more sun exposed sibling and had more signs of malignant lesions. Intraoral pigmentation was also present in all the three siblings.
Neurofibroma is a benign tumor of neural tissue origin. It most frequently involves the skin and rarely the oral mucosa. The nature of the disease has been recognized as hereditary with an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance. It has been reported to occur 1 in every 3000 births. The oral lesions occur as discrete, nonulcerated nodules, which tend to be of the same color as the normal mucosa- Usually occurs on the buccal mucosa, palate, alveolar mucosa, vestibule and the tongue. An interesting case of asymptomatic swelling of the lower lip since 20 years is presented. The swelling was gradual in onset and slowly increased in size in the first year of its appearance, there after there was no increase in size of the swelling and it remained stable until the patient reported at our clinic. It was a solitary diffuse, lobulated swelling of lower lip extending distally from left commissure, menially crossing the midline, anteriorly from vermillion border of lower lip, posteriorly extending into labial vestibule. Excisional biopsy was performed and histological examination revealed interlacing fascicles of elongated cells with very dark staining nuclei and focal areas resembling Antoni A pattern, which confirmed the lesion to be neurofibroma of lip.
Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws, most frequently associated with impacted mandibular third molar teeth. Bilateral dentigerous cysts are rare and occur typically in association with a developmental syndrome. The reported occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts in the absence of a syndrome is rare and, to date, only 17 cases have been described. The following is a report of a case of unusual bilateral nonsyndromic dentigerous cysts associated with developing mandibular second premolars and a review of literature.


in 2013 there will no longer be the need to burn up a tank of gas to drive to Roermond, Lelystad or Roosendaal to get a good deal on designer clothing: An outlet center is coming to Amsterdam.
At the site of the old sugar factory "sugar city", which lies between Amsterdam and Haarlem, comes the 25,000 square meter outlet center. That's about as big as the outlet centers Batavia City Centre and Designer Outlet Roermond.
According to reports also luxury brands like Gucci, Prada and Lacoste will have a branch in the outlet mall.


Former Microsoft Executive Steven Lipner, who helped to create the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) is the new Executive Director of the Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode).
SAFECode is getting new leadership with the appointment of Steven Lipner as Executive Director. Lipner officially took the top job at SAFEcode on December 1, succeeding former U.S federal government cybersecurity co-ordinator Howard Schmidt. In his new role, Lipner will bring his expertise as one of the founders of the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) methodology at Microsoft, to SAFECode.
The Software Assurance Forum for Excellence in Code (SAFECode) is a non-profit effort, supported by multiple organizations, in an effort to help identify and advance best practices for secure software development.
"The members are under a mutual non-disclosure agreement which enables them to share some internal techniques and documents from time to time," Lipner told eWEEK. "Basically members work together to collaborate on secure development."
SAFEcode members include Adobe Systems Incorporated, CA Technologies, Dell EMC, Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corp., SAP AG, Siemens AG and Symantec Corp.
Additionally, Lipner said that SAFEcode also works to share best practices externally as well, with free secure development training material as well as documents about security best practices.
Lipner had previously worked at Microsoft from 1999 until his retirement in April 2015. From 2011 until he retired from Microsoft, he also served as a board member at SAFEcode. Lipner is known for his security work at Microsoft where he helped to create and lead the company's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team. The SDL effort was first implemented by Microsoft in 2004, with the basic idea being to have integrated security by default in both the design and deployment of software. It's an approach that also led Microsoft to develop a regular patching system as part of a new lifecycle for keeping its customers and its software secure.
As to why Lipner is joining SAFEcode, he said that he sees it as a way to continue his commitment to secure development and make an impact across the industry.
"Secure development is as important today, if not more-so, than it was 10 or 15 years ago," Lipner said.
There are a number of things that Lipner sees missing in IT security today. Among the big challenges, according to Lipner, is that new developers often are unaware of the importance of secure development. The other item that is an ongoing concern is the level of education among organizations about how to build a secure development program.
While software development frameworks that directly integrate security are helpful, Lipner emphasized that developers still have to be responsible for their own code.
"The more that tools can do for developers, with built-in security mechanisms that help developers from making mistakes, the better off code will be," Lipner said. "That said, there is always still the need for developers to be paying attention, to make sure that what he or she is developing is secure code."
Building secure code isn't about simply lifting the Microsoft SDL model that Lipner helped to pioneer and bringing it to other organizations. He noted that every organization has its own development style and preferences for which tools are used.
"SDL is not a one size fits all approach," Lipner said. "Though there are common elements across secure development processes and SAFEcode has released the fundamental practices for security development document and updated it over the years, tracking the things that are common."
"Organizations can start with the fundamentals, but they still have to adapt to the needs of their own developers," he said.
