Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins (June 20, 1924 – June 30, 2001), known as "Mr. Guitar" and "The Country Gentleman", was an American musician, occasional vocalist, songwriter, and record producer, who along with Owen Bradley and Bob Ferguson, among others, created the country music style that came to be known as the Nashville sound, which expanded country music's appeal to adult pop music fans. He was primarily known as a guitarist. He also played the mandolin, fiddle, banjo, and ukulele.
Atkins' signature picking style was inspired by Merle Travis. Other major guitar influences were Django Reinhardt, George Barnes, Les Paul, and, later, Jerry Reed. His distinctive picking style and musicianship brought him admirers inside and outside the country scene, both in the United States and abroad. Atkins spent most of his career at RCA Victor and produced records for the Browns, Hank Snow, Porter Wagoner, Norma Jean, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, Perry Como, Floyd Cramer, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Eddy Arnold, Don Gibson, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed, Skeeter Davis, Waylon Jennings, and many others.
Rolling Stone credited Atkins with inventing the "popwise "Nashville sound" that rescued country music from a commercial slump", and ranked him number 21 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time." Among many other honors, Atkins received 14 Grammy Awards and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He also received nine Country Music Association awards for Instrumentalist of the Year. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.

Capitol Hill plaza project moving forward
By: Kathryn McNutt The Journal Record December 2, 2022 0
The public can view plans for the Capitol Hill Main Street District plaza at okc.gov/sni and provide feedback through Dec. 11. (Rendering by Planning Design Group)
OKLAHOMA CITY – Renderings for a $2 million plaza in the heart of the historic Capitol Hill Business Improvement District show a gathering space that can accommodate everything from a worker's lunch break to a big event.
Gloria Torres, executive director of Calle Dos Cinco in the historic district, said the long-desired plaza could be a reality by early 2024. The project likely will go out for bid in the next 90 days.
"My favorite features are the gazebo and all of the trees," Torres said. "The gateway entrance will give a real identity to the place."
The design for the plaza was revealed Thursday during a meeting of the Capitol Hill Civic Group. The public can view the renderings at okc.gov/sni and provide feedback through Dec. 11. The renderings also are posted in the windows of the Community Action Agency at 319 SW 25th.
The plaza will be constructed along Harvey Avenue between SW 24th and SW 25th. Last spring, the City Council acted to permanently close the street to vehicles to accommodate the project.
Torres noted it is rare for the city to close a street, but said officials are on board with this project after many years of conversations. "It's the right place at the right time," she said.
The $2 million plaza will be paid for with federal funds allocated to the city Planning Department's Strong Neighborhoods Initiative. Capitol Hill – just south of downtown and the Oklahoma River – is one of three neighborhoods currently in the SNI program.
The space will be filled with the raised stage gazebo, colorful art, trees, seating and other amenities that reflect a vibrant Hispanic culture. Underground infrastructure will provide electricity for lighting, food trucks and performers.
"Most all Latin towns will have what basically is a town square where people gather and meet their neighbors," Torres said. "You go to any Spanish-speaking town, and you'll find a plaza."
The venue will be free and open all the time to encourage residents to come have their morning cup of coffee or their evening stroll, she said.
The top priority is to bringing neighbors together and make the neighborhood a place where they want to stay, Torres said. A secondary goal is to draw in visitors both from other areas of the city and from out of state.
"This will open up the door for them to experience the culture of this side of downtown," she said.
Maintenance and special events like festivals and weddings will be managed by the Capitol Hill Business Improvement District.
The Strong Neighborhoods Initiative is a targeted neighborhood revitalization program that works alongside residents to develop and implement strategies to improve their neighborhoods over a five-year period.
Examples of projects include home repairs, sidewalks, tree plantings and improved public spaces. SNI projects are intended to be a catalyst for private investment in places that have seen disinvestment, said Kristy Yager, city public information director.
Over the past four years, the city has invested $1.9 million in Capitol Hill and more than $5.7 million in private dollars has been invested, Yager said.

Saturday, Oct 1: Rob Williams - Americana, Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, 7:00-9:00pm
from Richmond, VA
Rob Williams' unique sound and style combine 90's rock with alt-country and Americana influences. As front-man of the now defunct indie rock band, Joe Buck, Jr., Williams made a name for himself as a songwriter and performer in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia. This fall, the veteran songwriter will release his second solo album, Southern FM. Produced by Salim Nourallah (whose credits include Rhett Miller, Old 97's, and The Damnwells), Southern FM finds Williams becoming more comfortable as a solo artist and building on the success of his 2013 debut, A Place in the Sun. "I wanted this record to be different," Williams says, "so I made the decision to record it far away from home and with people I've never worked with before." That decision landed him at Nourallah's Pleasantry Lane Studio in Dallas. The result is an album that blends Williams' penchant for hard-hitting acoustic roots rock, Nourallah's innate knack for pop, and a touch of North Texas-style rock and roll. Williams will support the new release with a series of short regional tours.

Sunday, October 2nd: The Young Novelists, Folk Rock, 7:00-9:00pm
Simon & Garfunkel meet The Civil Wars -- Toronto-based Americana husband and wife duo The Young Novelists have been keeping busy. Fronted by Graydon James and Laura Spink, they are known for their beautiful harmonies and songs culled from their small-town roots. After the release of their second full-length album "made us strangers", they have been touring Canada and the US relentlessly and earning accolades wherever they go. They were recognized as New/Emerging Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, won the Grassy Hill Songwriting Competition at the Connecticut Folk Festival, and Graydon received the Ontario Art Council's Colleen Peterson Songwriting award for his song "Couldn't Be Any Worse".
It's your turn to see the duo the Asheville Times called "folk-rock at its best" (2015). Go here to find out more and listen to their music!
Monday, October 3rd: Zach Larmer Electric Band
with Joe MacPhail
Johnny's Pre- Shakori Hills Festival Kick Off
Joe MacPhail opens this incredible evening at 6pm with his stellar musicianship and songwriting skills. You know him from his steady work as a sideman in successful, homegrown NC bands like The Grand Shell Game, Rebekah Todd & The Odyssey, Matt Phillips & The Philharmonic and The Oblations; now, see him in a rare solo performance. Quick! Get here before he heads off on another tour!
Zach Larmer is a guitarist, composer, and educator living in Miami. A jazz musician with roots in funk, soul, and bluegrass, Zach is the recipient of multiple DownBeat awards. He has appeared on numerous albums and television programs, written for the Steve Miller Band, and shared the stage with artists such as Albert and Jimmy Heath, Mark O'Connor, and Brian Lynch. Currently, Zach's efforts are centered around his quartet, the Zach Larmer Electric Band, and work with the Miami-based Live! Modern School of Music.
A rising star of the jazz guitar world, Zach Larmer's name is one you should certainly remember. Leading his electric band comprised of Tal Cohen (Australia) on Keyboards, Dion Kerr (New York) on bass, and Rodolfo Zuniga (Costa Rica) on drums, the group is receiving international recognition for their unique blend of progressive funk rhythms with deep jazz harmonies.
The music is groundbreaking in its ability to bridge the gap that is often caused by the label of "jazz". The band can make an audience move and groove while also seamlessly satisfying the keen ear of the educated listener through an amalgamation of hard-hitting jazz, funk, and soul.
Here's some of what the press has to say about this phenomenally talented musician:
All About Jazz:
"The compositions are excellent and Larmer's playing has that riveting quality that makes people pay close attention...Inner Circle is a studio recording, it's true, but one that encompasses the unbridled vigor, gift of chemistry and profound impulsiveness of a live recording."
Miami Arts Review:
"The album doesn't fall victim to the emotional stiffness one grows accustomed to in other examples of self-proclaimed 'math-music.' The performances are interactive and organic, and the tunes always maintain a foot-tapping groove throughout."
Miami Arts and Entertainment District:
"Larmer injects an encyclopedia-like knowledge into his sonic creations — a calculative technique that smacks you square in the face and wakes you up out of whatever trance you had fallen into."
Jazz Views:
"Zach Larmer is a bright new star on the jazz scene with an absolutely smoking debut album."
Check out this awesome video of Zach Larmer's Electric Band performing On the Dock, the first song off their debut album, Inner Circle. Order the album here!

October 5th & October 6th: WRAP Pop-up Studio
with Marguerite Gignoux
Join us for this incredibly special pop-up studio event.
Wrap Your Head Around It is an interdisciplinary arts project that links text with textile through community action. Wrap's fundamental goal: the making of 200 hand dyed and printed scarves with and for the cancer community. In this community arts project, I developed partnerships with cancer patients and survivors; hospitals; community artists and individuals; universities and colleges; textile businesses; galleries; and cancer patient support organizations. The first edition of 200 scarves was funded by a Kickstarter campaign, Autumn 2014. The project began with 10 weeks of creative writing sessions at the Cancer Center, Duke Hospital, Durham, NC. Subsequent surface design activities included silk dyeing, printing, and stitching in pop-up studios in Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, NC.
"Fabric when properly activated has remarkable social and spiritual range. Its very structure contains the inherent power to combine and connect."

Oceanic Bar - Kalamaki - Zante: Its winter blog time!
Well i've been home just over 2 weeks and god is this country cold. If i don't have my central heating on i have to share my bedroom with a polar bear and a penguin.
As a few of you know during the christmas period i'm one of santas little helpers, and just because i'm short that doesn't make me an elf, i'm refering to working at Toys R Us nightshift. I have to be honset with you i'm not that thrilled at the toys i have to play with, i mean work with this year. There are no toys that i can train as each night goes on to roll over, sit or wag its tail, also there are no toys this year that you can teach words (sorry to which ever child had the talking Elmo with swear words, i couldn't help myself). So for me this christmas its just work, work, work.
So far since i arrived back home i've visited 5 dog shelters to look for a poor dog that needs a loving home but as of yet not found the right one as none can hoover, wash dishes or cook a good stir fry so my search continues, i've watched crufts a few times and seen the utility dogs but i don't think they're trained that well as i've never seen one of them ever pay a utility bill.
So what do i do to apart from work and look for a dog during the cold winter months, well this winter i have a wii fit to keep me going, god i didn't know my body was that stiff but its getting better, on my first go it works out the age of your fitness and mine was 40 which isn't bad considering i'm 40 haha well done for working that out. You can choose which fitness instructor you would like, male or female i chose a female instructor not for me to perv over but there's something not right about 2 men alone in a room exercising and one of the guys saying "now bend over".
So now my winter blog is off and running you won't have to wait long for the next update to keep you going till the next season and chapter in the life of Oceanic.

Want Faster Data and a Cleaner Planet? Start Mining Asteroids
Mining asteroids might seem like the stuff of science fiction, but there are companies and a few governments already working hard to make it real.

Mining asteroids might seem like the stuff of science fiction, but there are companies and a few governments already working hard to make it real. This should not be surprising: compared with the breathtaking bridges that engineers build on Earth, asteroid-mining is a simple, small-scale operation requiring only modest technological advances. If anything is lacking, it is the imagination to see how plausible it has become. I am afraid only that it might not arrive soon enough to address the urgent resource challenges that the world is facing right now.
As an academic researcher, I work with severalasteroid–miningcompanies to address that urgency. I depend on their funding, so there are trade secrets I cannot share. However, I can reveal the core reasons why I am optimistic about the business case for asteroid-mining, and what it will mean for our future.
Many people are skeptical of asteroid-mining because they imagine that the goal is to bring platinum back for sale in Earth's metals market. Reporters repeatedly cite an irresistible statistic that the platinum in an asteroid can be worth trillions of US dollars, but anyone with an understanding of economics realises that bringing home a huge stash of precious metal would crash the market, reducing the valuation of the asteroid.
On the other hand, if the plan is to dole out platinum in small quantities to keep the valuation high (as it is done in the diamond industry), then how could asteroid companies compete with terrestrial mining companies that benefit from a mature, low-cost terrestrial supply chain and transportation network?
This is exactly why platinum is not the objective of asteroid-mining. Instead, the first product from asteroids will be something much less obviously precious: water.
To rocket scientists, water is the raw material for propellant. Launching water from Earth into space consumes a lot of propellant, which makes the whole concept self-defeating. Fortunately, water is abundant in space, where it is much easier to move around. Water can be readily extracted from clay minerals in a common class of small bodies known as carbonaceous asteroids. Once separated from the minerals, the water can then be split by electricity (a process called electrolysis) into hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket propellant – the key ingredients of rocket fuel.
Using rocket propellant produced in space will reduce the cost of doing everything else in space, initiating a virtuous cycle for the off-Earth supply chain and transportation network. Before that can happen, though, we must find the customers who can get the whole process started.
Who will buy rocket fuel made from asteroid water? One concept is to sell it to telecommunications companies for boosting satellites into orbit. A decade ago, most satellites were launched with a small upper-stage rocket attached. The rocket initially lofts the satellite into geostationary transfer orbit, a highly elliptical orbit having perigee (the low point) just a few hundred kilometres above the Earth's surface, and apogee (the high point) about 36,000 kilometres higher. The spacecraft coasts to apogee, where the rocket fires and circularises the orbit so that the satellite can begin selling data to customers. The cost of the disposable upper-stage rocket is very high, however.

Today, most satellite owners place a lightweight electric thruster on the spacecraft instead. Such thrusters are cheaper and more efficient, but very weak. It takes six to 12 months for satellites to reach final orbit. Time is money, so this delay still costs the satellite-owners hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenues.
Asteroid-mining will provide a third option. A mining company will sell water to an in-space transportation company, which will use it to refuel a space tug parked in Earth orbit. The tug will dock with the newly launched satellite in geostationary transfer orbit, and boost it to the final orbit quickly, within a day.
According to our calculations, the total cost for this service, including capital recovery, finance charges, insurance and profit for all parties, will be less than the lost revenues of the current method, so that means there is a business case. The only concern is whether there are enough early customers to get the service established.
Here is where the national space agencies like NASA can help. If they develop an in-space refuelling depot to lower their costs for exploring the Moon or Mars, and if they give out commercial contracts for some of this space water, they will lower the capital investment and risk for the new mining companies. In this way, government agencies can ensure the earlier success of private space industry. This is a legitimate role for government because taxpayers will greatly benefit.
An asteroid-mining infrastructure could help to solve a major impending resource problem. Within a decade or two, the current system of satellites and fiber optics will not be able to keep up with the demand for wireless and internet data. I know of no solution apart from building antennas in space that are too large to launch on rockets, because nothing else scales up quickly enough to meet the data needs that will grow exponentially through to the end of the century. Metal from asteroids will not be sold on Earth, where it would be too expensive. It will remain in space, transmitting precious data down into the digital market.
Similar arguments can be made that generating solar energy in space will, by sometime this century, be cheaper than generating energy on Earth through any known method. The energy might then be beamed to the ground via microwaves. Moving most of the energy sector into space will unburden the planet of the environmental impacts of energy generation, along with the entire supply chain that supports it. Even wind and solar disrupt large areas of land.
Off-planet energy generation could eliminate one-quarter of the human industrial footprint by 2100, by some estimates. This does not even take into account the exponentially growing energy footprint of computer manufacturing and operation, which is terrifying from an environmental perspective.
Note that none of these ideas involves bringing asteroid materials back for sale on Earth. The real value of space-based mining will be to create a space-based industry that benefits all of us. The primary import from space will be massless photons carrying data and energy.
The important point our government leaders should understand is that investing in space-mining is a safe bet on our future, one of the safest they can make. NASA and the other space agencies will get more science and exploration, plus greater geopolitical presence, for less cost than their current way of doing business. Saving the Earth and improving our quality of life might simply be side effects we get for free.

Derby days: Heavy rains and heavy fish
26-lb king salmon leads at midday Saturday

Returns were slow at midday Saturday at the Mike Pusich Douglas Harbor weigh station for the 75th annual Golden North Salmon Derby, but volunteers there were pleased to announce a 26-pound king salmon turned in earlier was currently leading the competition.
Friday had been slow, said Jessie Jensen, who's volunteered with the derby since 2004, but started to pick up more after 4 p.m. Juneau saw heavy rains Friday, and there weren't many people out, she said.
"We had three-fourths of a tote (container)," Jensen said, "which isn't great."
[Salmon derby celebrates 75 years with new ways to win]
By the end of the day Friday the Douglas weigh station had 55 scholarship fish, 5 coho salmon and 12 king salmon. Speaking to Empire at noon Saturday, Jensen said the largest fish so far was the 26-pounder, turned in by David Hillary, and second and third place were held by Jesse Walker with an 18.3-pound king and Monica Walker with a 15.2-pound king salmon.
The derby is allowing participants to compete as teams for the first time this year, and Jensen said two teams, "Itchy Bob" and "Matt Damon," had dropped off fish.
Despite the slow pace of the derby, the atmosphere at the Douglas harbor was upbeat, and local restaurants dropped off free food for volunteers.
Jensen did say that someone had tried to turn in a fish weighing only 1.9 pounds in an attempt to claim the $100 prize for the first fish caught.
"He was mean, he gave us a bunch of lip," Jensen said.
Weigh stations in the Amalga, Auke Bay and Douglas harbors close at 6 p.m. every day and Sunday is the last day of the derby.

We got back from traveling in China late last night and I plan on posting a reflection on my second summer of teaching and travel there soon (short version: it was fascinating and confounding, more so than last year). But that's not the point of this post. Tomorrow is the primary election day here in Tacoma, so I am sitting down (fighting uber jet lag) to bang out my this post and my (vote by mail) ballot.
I believe and teach my students that local elections matter. In my opinion, they matter far more than national elections, but they get nowhere near the attention they deserve. Later this fall I will be hosting a Tacoma School Board Candidate Forum (9/15 at King's Books) and a Bring Your Ballot Party (date TBD). The cure to what ails us as society (ed issues, transpo funding, police oversight, regressive taxation, cronyism, etc.) is a more activism and vigilance in local governance issues.

Discover the style of a documentary photographer with these endearing examples from wedding photographers in the South West of England
Hart Photo, www.hartphoto.eu
"We always love capturing those special moments between loving couples, family and friends whether staged or not. Those moments when people are relaxed and not having to 'smile for the camera' or 'say cheese' are the moments we aim to capture with my documentary style of photography. Gone are the group shots of people hiding from the camera's gaze, to be replaced by vibrant, natural images you will cherish forever." Colin and Diane
GRW Photography, www.grwphotography.co.uk
"Visually telling the story of a couple's special day is at the core of my wedding photography. I specialise in a documentary style, capturing the day in a relaxed reportage way with natural couple portraits in-keeping with his unobtrusive and friendly manner. I am passionate about pictures and creating timeless memories. A recognised finalist in the Reportage Wedding Photographer of the Year category at the South West Wedding Awards for the past four years, I have travelled all over the UK telling people's story and creating something genuinely different which they will cherish for a lifetime." Gareth Williams
Nick Pearce Photography, www.nickpearcephoto.co.uk
"My style depicts a fun, fresh and natural approach with my veritable way of capturing your life event by telling a story through natural images. Very much in love with wedding photography, the countryside and natural beauty around us, I will become your friend from day one with unlimited patience and an amiable mood that can bring out the best in people's emotions... even the most camera shy."
Little Phat Dog Photographic, www.littlephatdogphotographic.co.uk
"Heather and Chris were married in Combpyne at Heather's family farm in August 2017. This shot was taken in one of the fields above the farm and it is one of my favourites of the year. It's super relaxed and unposed and I think it really shows the beauty and wildness of the bride and groom as well as the countryside behind them. My photography style is very informal and relaxed and I enjoy weddings that are different from the norm." Emily Hardingham
Snooks Photography, www.snooksphotography.com
"As a wedding photographer, I love to capture natural and tender moments. The image here is of a beautiful moment between a father and his two daughters, just before his youngest gets married. After months of planning it comes down to the last few minutes before the ceremony where they can stop, just for a second, to take a breath and concentrate on the finest of details by tweaking his tie to make sure that everything is just right... as he prepares to walk his daughter down the aisle, and to the next chapter in her life." Stephanie Snooks
Mimosa Photography, www.mimosaphotography.uk
"Summer loving... had me a blast, at this exquisite country themed wedding for a young Devon farming couple. The day included a shiny tractor used by the groom to transport himself to the church, through to hay bales for the guests to rest and chat on in between ceilidh dancing. This shot was snapped just before meeting up with the couple's sheep dogs for a few posed shots. My style of wedding photography is natural, chic and romantic and sees me using natural light wherever possible. I especially love to work with nature's surroundings to create beautiful framing to an image." Meg

Arrests made as crowds protest COVID 19 vaccination passports Daniel Andrews and horseracing
November 2, 2021 admin_ond5qy8l
Nine people have been arrested as several demonstrations take place across Melbourne, protesting against COVID-19 vaccination passports, Premier Daniel Andrews and the Melbourne Cup.
Around 200 protesters have marched from Footscray Park to the gates of Flemington Racecourse to take a stand against the government's actions around COVID-19.
The group have been seen carrying signs and bans that read, "Sack Dan" and "No vaccine passport" and chanting lines including, "Save our future, save our children" and "kill the bill".

Police are watching over the crowd from the sidelines.
Meanwhile, police have made nine arrests as animal rights protesters have gathered directly opposite the gates to Flemington to say "Nup to the Cup".
According to police, two people pulled up outside the racecourse about 10.10am with a load of manure.
Eight protesters then tried to chain themselves to the truck, a police spokesperson has said.
All were arrested, as was the driver of the truck.
A woman was seen chanting, "Nup to the Cup" as she lay on a road while police handcuffed her.
Other animal rights protesters have gathered to picnic opposite the racecourse in Kensington's Newmarket Reserve to peacefully take a stand against the iconic horseracing event.
In the event's invitation, organisers explained, "Our presence is important to demonstrate to race goers and other passers-by that you can still have a good time without engaging in animal abuse".

Yes, it's August of 2015 and the movie came out a whole ago but it's a new website and I need some content. Let me just say this, Whiplash is freaking terrific. It's no wonder it received its accolades and rightfully so, won an Oscar for J.K Simmons. I've found myself watching this movie more than just once and each time I happen to appreciate it more and more.
Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) is an ambitious young jazz drummer, in pursuit of rising to the top of his elite music conservatory. Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), an instructor known for his terrifying teaching methods, discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into the top jazz ensemble, forever changing the young man's life. But Andrew's passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher pushes him to the brink of his ability and his sanity.
Why I Like It:
It's got seriously tremendously great acting, a very subtle but useful score (that isn't all Jazz), at times, darkly comical dialogue, and intense cinematography. But the reason I really like it is that an individual pushed so hard gets more and more determined to prove the instructor who is the menacing one that he is what he's always wanted, an amazing drummer that is capable of doing one of the most intense and tremendous drum solos ever. I wish I could just put up the drum solo at the finale here but that'd truly be wasting it. Sit your butt down and watch this movie if you haven't.

Delusional & Deceptive: Artificially Created "Issues" Causing Real Problems
Submitted by GreyHawk on May 17, 2012 - 11:35
Originally posted as a note on my Facebook page.
The long & short of the ongoing "fiscal crisis" is that it is, at this point, an artificially manufactured crisis that is causing serious real-world issues. The delusion & deceptive "national conversation" that the traditional media insists on promoting isn't helping.
Case in point: a piece from the Washington Post1 makes the following statement:
Ideally, the budget environment for weather and climate research wouldn't be an either/or situation. State of the art computing resources should be available to both areas.But during a time when our nation faces a fiscal crisis and the government is having to make tough choices about what the highest priorities are - leadership within NOAA and Congress should take a close look at the balance of resources...
There are a couple of things wrong with that. The first one that leaps out and grabs my face like one of the creatures from Alien is "during a time when our nation faces a fiscal crisis" - really? Simply letting the Bush-era tax cuts for the rich expire would substantially resolve that, but the fiscally feral Republican, Tea Party & Libertarian extremists keep pushing for more tax breaks for the wealthy...hoping, apparently, that the rest of the nation is either too pre-occupied or distracted to notice just how much damage that those tax cuts have done, or who has benefited.

Yes, it's their strategy. It's part of their practiced meme, and nobody's called them on it. They rinse, repeat and repackage the same tired old b.s. time and again, increasingly ginning up greater crises and fomenting unrest while claiming that government is the problem, and they're the 'solution.'
And too many people keep falling for it.
Well, now maybe more people will begin to wake up and start remembering -- and keep telling each other to stay awake, stay alert and make it through the next election cycle with one goal intact: oust the GOP and their Teapublican buddies, once and for all, from all levels of government if you want to have at least an even chance of beginning to fix the mess that this merry-go-round has been generating.

It's a practiced meme.
Submitted by GreyHawk on January 30, 2011 - 04:46
It's a practiced meme, one which those familiar with the GOP of today saw coming as early as 2004. During the Bush/Cheney fiasco, the GOP engaged in double-book accounting, hoping the inevitable economic disaster would hit AFTER their majority and WH left office -- but they were too greedy.
The habit of spending the country into a tailspin while using various budgeting and economic tricks to falsely stimulated a facade of 'growth' (one that would be the ultimate cause of the resulting collapse back within itself), then blame the other party that comes in to clean up the mess not only for making the mess in the first place but using the mess to further their agenda, restricting spending and cutting social service programs.
It's got to stop, folks.
They had their demands for "investigations" and "impeachment" sounding BEFORE Obama even took the Oath of Office -- what idiot would see and hear that, and still believe that the Republicans were intent on doing ANYTHING akin to actually working FOR the nation instead of actively against it?
They had fought any investigation of the lies that were unraveling which brought us to war in Iraq during their tenure, and steadfastly stood by the then-President Bush when he boldly announced that he had no exit strategy, and that would be something "for the next President" to clean up decide. Who didn't suspect that they intended to ensure that the high costs of war - TWO wars - would help seriously constrain the ability of that "next" President to curtail the spending and stem the bleeding from the GOP's reckless abandonment of duty, Constitutionality and humanity?
They've actively obstructed EVERY measure that the current Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress had tried to pass, and then lied some more in order to influence the weak-minded and the devastated into voting their incompetent, lying asses BACK into office, where they now have the capacity to do even more damage and to FURTHER obstruct any efforts to actually fix the nation's infrastrure, economy and health.
They've been lying repeatedly; the big lies of their candidates and pundits echo cavernously through the rapidly hollowing skulls of their followers and sychophants...and they are never, ever held accountable for the real, lasting and inhuman swath of destruction which their ongoing reign of (T)error wreaks across the planet.

Media Matters: Fox News Email Shows Editorial Reslant to Frank Luntz Health Care Reform Language
Submitted by luaptifer on December 9, 2010 - 13:31
"You know what," Hannity replied, "it's a great point, and from now on, I'm going to call it the government option."
Time to 'Assanginate' Rupert Murdoch.
Remember the "Fair and Balanced" and "We Report, You Decide" messages that remind television viewers of the public stance of the GOP's 24/7 cable news echo-maker, Fox News Channel?
Remember, Dr. Frank Luntz , the talking points-pollster who crafts the Republican agenda into everything from the "Contract with America" through Enron's California power crisis-mandate to change national energy policy ('New Economy technology uses more electrons') to fighting the popularity of health care reform under President Obama?
Media Matters reported, today, that Fox News personalities were directed, by senior management, to make sure that on-air 'reporting' remained in-line with official Fox News verbiage for spinning references to "public option."

Wikileaks Doc Dump On Afghanistan - And the Media Spins on The Previous Media Fail
Submitted by Connecticut Man1 on July 26, 2010 - 12:48
Given the last week's Shirley Sherrod news cycle of pre fact checking trashing to a post fact checked resurrection, I find a little bit of humor in asking some in the traditional media to take an advance look at the most recent Wikileaks documents to help verify the fact that they were real. Ya know.... A little bit of fact checking before anybody runs with it.
Anyways, with the resources they have they can and did serve a purpose here as the Times, the Guardian and others confirmed the likelihood that the docs are the real McCoy, and even using the advance notice to take a moment to dig a story or two out of the Wikileaks documents and spin what they can:

The Need For And Role of Journalistic Integrity: Thwarting Breitbart Bias And Propaganda
Submitted by GreyHawk on July 22, 2010 - 07:42
More manipulation, propaganda and incitement stir the airwaves and reverberate through the internet as the Shirley Sherrod controversy unfolds before us. This marks yet another time that a heavily edited, doctored and flagrantly erroneous video was successfully used to smear and tear down a target of the right-wing. And yet again, the source was found to be lacking integrity; the story told by the video a complete fabrication. But the public and officials still choose to react to such trash without question, even after repeatedly finding that the source has intentionally deceived and mislead in order to affect negative change.
How can we stop this mad dash toward insanity and push for a greater degree of accountabilty, if not from the sources of such misdirection then at least in some form or capacity that prevents a knee-jerk reactionary response to such trash without a pre-requisite pause to question and verify?
Perhaps we can't. Then again, perhaps by driving home the growing facts regarding the importance of personal due-diligence, it may be possible to at least provide some underlying guidelines to protect against further future misdirections. In the spirit of optimism that such efforts would prove useful, here's a list of documented distortions made by Breitbart, taken from Big Falsehoods: An updated guide to Andrew Breitbart's lies, smears, and distortions over on Media Matters. Each link goes to the appropriate entry on that site, where there's more information about each event:
Following the dissolution of Andrew Breitbart's smear of former Obama administration official Shirley Sherrod, Media Matters provides an updated look at how his sensationalist stories have been based on speculation, gross distortions, and outright falsehoods.

Over the jump, I'm concluding this piece by quoting selected excerpts from Holding America To Her Principles from the USPatriotsUnited blog, with permission. The excerpts focus on the importance of a free and independent media, and provide some hints to the role that such a media should play in our society today. I selected them in particular because they provide some insight about the "how" and "why" the rise of the blogosphere and citizen journalism in prominence is a result of the failure of the traditional media to faithfully discharge its role.
If you find this post useful, please talk it up and send links to it far and wide. We must, as a nation of concerned citizens seeking a better & brighter future, start encouraging others like us to do our part to quell the fires of incitement.

Via McClatchy:
Shiite Iraqi militants have trained in Iran in preparation for attacks against U.S. military bases as American combat forces prepare to withdraw by September, the top U.S. commander in Iraq said on Tuesday.
In an unusually candid assessment, Gen. Ray Odierno said that Kataib Hezbollah - an Iraqi Shiite militant group backed by Iran - may be seeking to take some credit for the long-planned departure of U.S. troops.
"For years these groups have been (saying) that they are forcing the U.S. to leave," Odierno told reporters in Baghdad. A significant strike "could be a huge propaganda tool for them in the future."
I guess al Qaeda no longer scares people enough to want them to keep America in Iraq (or Afghanistan) since, now, we have the al Iran Hezbollah Qaeda super army being rolled out in one big bogeyman to try to get you to cower in support of forever war. As Laurence Lewis at dKos notes:

Media Matters Demonstrates Political Propaganda Ops Behind Fox "News"

Hat-tip to David Waldman of DailyKos.
To excerpt from David's piece over on dKos, here's the nub of the gist:
In the evening hour opinion shows (which, poisonous though they are, Fox is perfectly entitled to broadcast), you have your Hannity types spouting their wingnut applause lines unchecked, because gosh, it's just "opinion journalism." So it's all fair game when they come right out and claim Obama's a socialist, or communist, or fascist, or whatever the flavor of the day is.
But lo and behold, come next morning, the "news" side anchors pull out the infamous "Fox Question Mark" construction, dutifully delivering their line to the audience: "Is Obama a socialist? That's what some in Washington are saying..." Nevermind that both the "some" who are saying it and the talking heads "reporting" it take their morning memos and their paychecks from the same source.
In a nutshell, if you're using Fox for your political insights or news and information, you're being intentionally misinformed and manipulated. By nuts.

"Spontaneous popular uprisings"??
Submitted by Hello Dolly Llama on August 9, 2009 - 23:47
Promoted, with thanks and a special welcome to Hello Dolly Llama. -- GH
Yet another myth the Republicans are peddling, is the myth of the spontaneous popular uprising. As Robert Heinlein observed decades ago, the notion of a handful of revolutionaries gathering in an attic or a coffeehouse around a candle, plotting to change the world, virtually never leads to anything. Anything that is really worth accomplishing takes time, money, organization, a good sense of timing, communication, logistics, intelligence, usually some security, and a fair amount of luck.
Arguably the first uprising against a government occurred in Rome, when Tarquinius Superbus, the king whose son raped a nobleman's daughter, was removed from power by the Senate, not the people. This established the Roman Republic which was in turn overthrown by the killing of Caesar, which was a murder conspiracy by Senators, not a popular uprising.
Most of the violent upheavals in the Middle Ages came in the form of full-scale civil wars between armies led by noblemen; the only role of the common people was to be slaughtered. Even Magna Carta: people believe it was a popular uprising to secure the rights of the common man, but it was in fact a conspiracy of noblemen to secure rights for…noblemen.

The Heirs of Joseph Goebbels
Submitted by non-embedded jo... on June 15, 2009 - 14:48
Promoted by GH. Originally posted 2009-06-15 14:04:50 -0400.
Joseph Goebbels was Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister from 1933 to 1945. In that position, he perfected an understanding of the "Big Lie" technique of propaganda, which is based on the principle that a lie, if audacious enough and repeated enough times, will be believed by the masses.
Goebbels used modern propaganda techniques to psychologically prepare the German people for aggressive war and the annihilation of civilian populations. Among other propaganda devices, he accused many of Germany's ethnic and national minorities (such as the Poles, the Jews, the French) of trying to destroy Germany.
Is there really any significant difference between the propaganda of Joseph Goebbels in the 30s and 40s, and the propaganda of people like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh?

The Crusade for a Christian Military
Submitted by jimstaro on April 17, 2009 - 10:12
Much has been stated, angrily, since a Homeland Security Department Intelligence Assessment {pdf} report was released the other day on Rightwing Extremism. The report gives a window into the "Possibilities" in one segment the Military Veterans, especially, who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, "May Be" Recruited by extremist groups, known to already exist and growing.
This report Does Not Label Military Veterans as Radical Rightwing Fanatics, as a security report it just points out the possibilities this country may be facing, and not only by the recruiting of a few of the tens os thousands who have served Honorably under orders of the CiC in these two occupations, Right or Wrong in policy they may be.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath
*)indexPath {

 static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  if (cell == nil)
  {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
nameLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(45, 8, 100, 25)];
