Conservative Bloggers Blasé About Mehlman's Coming Out?
Via Glenn, I chance upon Charlie Spiering's great round-up of conservative reaction to Ken Mehlman's coming out:
Ken Mehlman is gay? Most right-leaning political junkies probably responded by asking, 'Who is Ken Mehlman?' or 'Yeah, but who cares?'
Conservative bloggers either ignored the topic or pointed out that conservatives aren't necessarily surprised or outraged by the news.
"I had absolutely no idea Ken Mehlman was gay, or existed," wrote the Daily Caller's Jim Treacher in response to the New York Times piece that marveled at the "muted reaction" of Republicans to the announcement.
The story has all but disappeared from Memeorandum. I think I e-mailed someone telling her that I didn't think this story would stay in the headlines past the Sunday (i.e., today's) TV talk shows. Seems I may have been onto something.
Guess this just confirms the notion that many of the leading opinion makers on the right are indifferent to an individual's sexuality.

BenD says
Possibly. Of course the muted reaction could also be that the story makes the right uncomfortable and they'd just rather not talk about it. I honestly don't know how one can be sure of the reason.
Frankly I don't care. The existence of hypocrisy near the centers of power is a rather old story.
JS says
Omission does not mean "indifference," unless of course Dan has been be able to read people's minds.
Wishful thinking.
Oh, the awful tragedy of it all.
The right fails to explode in a furious homo-bigotry over the wretched Mahlman's corrupt and deceitful gayness.
But, we all know that a legion of homophobes has been made so uncomfortable that a great laryngitis has been visited upon them by the god of moral relevancy.
Ken Mehlman has to be the worst thing that ever happened to the gay left. They see him as a traitor, a panderer and a dirty birdie.
Meanwhile, the common man is stoking himself up on the hate messages delivered at Restore Honor and planning to apply the dreadful litmus test of "trust" and "honor" and "charity" and obeying the Constitution on both Democrats and Republicans.
What is a fundamentalist on the left to do? Start connecting rights with responsibility? Oh, the awful tragedy of it all.
That rumbling sound you hear is "hope and change" going down the crapper.
Andrew Ian Dodge says
As, ably seen at last years CPAC the right really doesn't give a toss about sexuality. Yes, some attention seeking old school authoritarian groups don't like them but they are ignored by most people. The right, for the most part, has realized that what matters is what is in the brain and the rest of it is irrelevant.
To be perfectly blunt: I don't want Mehlman as part of my community. He should be shunned unless he makes a major breakthrough in Republican Party thinking (which is definitely not happening, since the Tea Party will continue to eat the remaining moderates and replace them with the batshit crazies).
Serenity says
What? Just because he helped mastermind a strategy to get more Republicans elected by tying their campaigns into same-sex marriage/civil union bans across the nation? Why would gay people ever be bitter about that?
It's a pattern we've seen before where someone will do all the damage they can to gay rights, then when they can finally do no more, they do a heel-face turn, come out of the closet, oppose their former views, and ask for forgiveness.
He could've taken the principled route. He could've supported limited government and individual rights while not actively leveraging anti-gay fearmongering as a tool for winning elections (which, I believe, is the whole damn point of this blog), but he didn't. Instead he chose to advance his career and become an important Republican figure in those crucial years despite knowing what he was doing was fundamentally immoral.
That's why forgiveness does not come easily. It's so easy to support a position once it becomes popular enough to be mainstream, but it takes actual courage and conviction to support the same position while it's still unpopular and stigmatized.
As the saying goes, Ken made his bed, now he's got to sleep in it.
#4: "To be perfectly blunt: I don't want Mehlman as part of my community."
I'm sure he'll be crushed when he finds out. Who wouldn't want to be a member of steve's community, where every day is a shrill, histrionic protest, every night is a teary-eyed candlelight vigil, every party is of the pity variety, and every election is another opportunity to get fu*ked over by the Democratic Party.
It sounds like more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Just because he helped mastermind a strategy to get more Republicans elected by tying their campaigns into same-sex marriage/civil union bans across the nation?

I suspect folks may be busy trying to figure out how Chairman Obama can go from saying Iraq has made us less safe to now proclaiming that our troops have made us safer. The spinmeisters are hard at work.
I know I have the memo in my filthy tricks file somewhere.
I love masterminds. Mindless as I am, I need a master to tell me what to do and think. Mehlman must have real mystic powers, because he has succeeded in warping Serenity's mind and steering me by remote control. Gay power, don't leave home without it.
Auntie Dogma says
Of course they're not concerned. Mehlman was defanged and declawed when he terminated his generalship in the battle against gay and lesbian rights.
Good question, given that gay-sex liberals like you, Serenity, fully endorsed and supported state constitutional amendments and the Federal Marriage Amendment without a whisper of dissent and in the name of the Obama Party. Indeed, you screamed about how the candidates pushing these were "pro-gay" and "gay-supportive".
So frankly put, you're a liar and a hypocrite. You demonstrate why you are a second-class citizen and worthless.
Do you understand, Serenity? Or are you going to keep whining and crying that you should be judged on the basis of your minority status rather than on the content of your character?
Mehlman's leadership positions in the GOP came at a time when the party was stepping up its anti-gay activities — such as the distribution in West Virginia in 2006 of literature linking homosexuality to atheism, or the less-than-subtle, coded language in the party's platform ("Attempts to redefine marriage in a single state or city could have serious consequences throughout the country…"). Mehlman said at the time that he could not, as an individual Republican, go against the party consensus. He was aware that Karl Rove, President Bush's chief strategic adviser, had been working with Republicans to make sure that anti-gay initiatives and referenda would appear on November ballots in 2004 and 2006 to help Republicans.
Mehlman acknowledges that if he had publicly declared his sexuality sooner, he might have played a role in keeping the party from pushing an anti-gay agenda.

He did say he privately attempted to talk senior Republicans out of such tactics, and voiced support for civil unions in strictly off-the-record conversations. However such talk clearly had little if any effect, and it seems he considered career advancement more important than making a positive difference.
such as the distribution in West Virginia in 2006 of literature linking homosexuality to atheism
But homosexuality and atheism are linked. Just look at the gay community's statements about religion, as made by the organization Truth Wins Out.
Actually, Bob, most "reasonable" people, if we're using the word with a respect for its root word, "reason," agree that there is no evidence for God's existence, and thus no rational REASON to believe that any god or gods have determined ANYTHING, much less morality.
Comment by Evan Hurst — May 27, 2010 @ 7:13 pm
Hahahahaha, um. Dude. Seriously? No one in the history of the universe has ever been able to prove that the idea of "gods," which have always been used to control populations, ever existed. It's a ridiculous idea, created by uneducated nomads from thousands of years ago.
GROW UP>
Comment by Evan Hurst — May 29, 2010 @ 4:13 am
They all rank "10″ because they're all retarded and none of them can be proven by any human who's ever lived.
God, your questions are really stupid.
Bob. That means your god is a weak minded little bitch who changes his mind and is definitely NOT eternal or omnipotent. He's merely a reflection of humanity's most disgusting instincts.
Grow the hell up.
Of COURSE, their idea of god is as a serial rapist. Fundamentalist religious people ARE essentially battered wives. They just act it out on a grander scale without such visible bruises. The really screwed up thing is that their abuser is an imaginary friend.
But it's a rapist just the same.
Ben, everything you said was spot on. Bob's idea of "god" is a moral reprobate, and a child at that. I wouldn't worship a sniveling ass like that if you paid me.
Look, if you're not gonna back your claim, Serenity, don't obfuscate with copy & paste jobs.
Translation: I found a gay atheist! See! They're totally linked! Sample sizes of one kick ass!
LOL? When you said [Citation Needed], what exactly were you expecting me to do? Citing a source is best done by directly copying relevant statements from a source that backs up your claim (editing or paraphrasing would risk introducing bias) and providing a link to the source (to make sure the statements can be seen in context), both of which I provided.
If you wanted something beyond a citation for my claim you should've asked for it.
Funny how it is the left that makes a big deal, then when the reaction on the right is *yawn* it's because the right 'is embarressed'.
Maybe it's that we don't care.
Serenity and the clown car Serenity pilots have used this logic:
1) Ken Mehlman is gay.
2) Ken Mehlman was a Republican strategist.
3) Therefore, Ken Mehlman was a gay Republican.
OK. But how is a "gay" Republican different from a not-gay Republican?
Well, according to the Serenity clown car, a "gay" Republican carries the responsibility of promoting the "gay agenda." A "gay" Republican who does not promote all gays and all things gay is a "self-loathing" gay.
Slight switch:
1) Obama is black.
2) Obama is a Democrat who is President.
3) Therefore, Democrat Obama is the black President.
OK. But how is a "black" President different from a not-black President?
Well, according to the MSM and many blacks in the "equality" clown car, a "black" President carries the responsibility of promoting the "black agenda." A "black" President who does not promote all blacks and all things black is a "self-loathing" black. (Think President Clarence Thomas and you will feel the rage.)
You see, when it comes to logic, liberals are always in charge of the words which have multiple meanings which ultimately express the personal political posture of the one using the multipurpose word. Gay does not mean homosexual and black does not mean skin color. So, unless you agree with the liberal's undistributed terminology, you are self-loathing, deceitful, a dirty birdie and your mother wears open-toed army boots and you should go eat worms.
Serenity is good.
Want to play the game of what "good" means and my intended context?
When the extremist define the party no one wins and the points of agreement are lost. We have allowed the extremist of each party to control the dialogue. My overriding sense is good republicans interest in social issues is low. Black, white, gay, straight who cares as long as you understand how much more can be achieved with solid fiscally conservative pro business policies.

Trying to find a shining light through the dark clouds has been hard these past few months. But friendship and positivity is what will see me through.
I reminded myself of a post I wrote back at the end of 2014, talking of the wise words a great friend gave me, why am I struggling to regain control, why can I not achieve what I promised myself I would ?
I am admitting defeat, life needs to change and it is time I really do take control.
I have seen my doctor, my health issues have become very bad and he agreed so many referrals are in place, I have spoken to my rock (Ashley) time after time and he knows I am in a dark place and I know with his help and some close friends I will come out of it.
I wasn't sure of that months ago, but now I am, having Ashley and some truly amazing, genuine friends in my life for the first time I think ever I will get there.
Today I am starting again, I am going to start my lists, lists are my way of getting control and I am going to tick things off. I am going to create happy memories.
I am going to see the light, I am going to be realistic and stop hoping for miracles. Small steps.
And receiving messages like this today means I know I have people to help me get there. Love you my dear friends.

PURPOSE:To provide a new photopolymerizable composition which can give an acrylic viscoelastic product maintaining high-level application properties and adhesive properties. CONSTITUTION:A photopolymerizable composition comprising 60-98wt.% at least one acrylate monomer (a) selected from the group consisting of an alkyl acrylate with a 1-12 C alkyl group and an alkyl methacrylate with a 1-12 C alkyl group, 2-40wt.% vinyl compound monomer (b) having a double bond copolymerizable with component (a), 0.005-5 pts.wt., per 100 pts.wt. total of components (a) and (b), polyfunctional unsaturated compound (c) having one (meth)acrylic group and at least one unsaturated group less reactive than an acryl group in the molecule and 0.001-5 pts.wt. photopolymerization initiator (d).
【産業上の利用分野】本発明は、アクリレート系の光重合性組成物に関し、さらに詳しくは、高速反応条件においても塗工特性および粘着性能を共に高水準に保持できる光重合組成物の配合、ならびにそれより得られた粘弾性製品に関する。 The present invention relates to relates to a photopolymerizable composition acrylate, more particularly, the formulation of the photopolymerizable composition which can both high holding the coating properties and adhesive performance in high speed reaction conditions, as well as on the viscoelastic products obtained from it.
【従来の技術】アクリル系ポリマーからなる粘弾性製品として、例えば、アクリル系粘着剤、アクリル系粘着テープ、アクリル系粘着シート、両面粘着テープ、発泡体類の粘着加工製品などがよく知られている。 As the viscoelastic product comprising the Related Art Acrylic polymers, e.g., acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the double-sided adhesive tape, such as pressure-sensitive processed products of the foams are well known .
【0003】アクリル系粘着剤は、アクリル系ポリマーを主成分としているため、耐光性、耐候性、耐油性などに優れており、また、プラスチックフィルムや紙などを表面基材としたアクリル系粘着テープは、粘着力、凝集力などの粘着性能、および耐熱性、耐候性などの耐老化性能に優れているため、広く使用されている。  Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, since the main component an acrylic polymer, light resistance, weather resistance, has excellent like oil resistance, also, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, such as a plastic film or paper to the surface substrate the adhesive strength, adhesive properties such as cohesive strength, and heat resistance and excellent aging properties, such as weather resistance, is widely used.
【0004】これらの粘弾性製品として代表的なアクリル系粘着テープを例にとると、該粘着テープは、一般に、アクリル酸アルキルエステルおよび/またはメタクリル酸エステルなどのアクリレート系モノマーを主成分とするビニル系モノマーを、有機溶剤で溶液重合して得られる粘着剤溶液、または、水系で乳化重合して得られるエマルジョンを、基材に塗布または含浸し、これを加熱乾燥して製造されている。  Taking as an example a typical acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tape as these viscoelastic products, the adhesive tape is generally vinyl mainly containing acrylate monomers such as acrylic acid alkyl ester and / or methacrylic acid ester the system monomer, pressure-sensitive adhesive solution obtained by solution polymerization in an organic solvent, or an emulsion obtained by emulsion polymerization in an aqueous system, applied or impregnated into the substrate, are produced by heating and drying it.
【0005】上記の製造方法のうち、粘着剤溶液を用いる場合は、基材に塗布または含浸した粘着剤溶液を高温で乾燥するのに多大なエネルギーが消費され、また、溶剤による大気汚染を防止するために、大規模な回収装置が必要である。  Among the above manufacturing method, the case of using an adhesive solution, large amount of energy is consumed to dry the pressure-sensitive adhesive solution was coated or impregnated into the substrate at high temperature, also prevent air pollution by the solvent in order to, there is a need for a large-scale recovery system. しかも、溶剤は引火しやすいため、安全保持のために充分な安全装置を必要とする。 Moreover, the solvent for easy ignition, and requires a sufficient safety equipment for safety retention.
【0006】一方、エマルジョンを用いる場合は、水を蒸発させるには、溶剤を用いる場合よりもさらに大きなエネルギーを必要とし、また、性能面でも重合時に混入する乳化剤により耐水性が低下する。 On the other hand, when using the emulsion, in order to evaporate water requires further a greater energy than the case of using the solvent, also the water resistance is lowered by the emulsifier to be mixed at the time of polymerization in terms of performance. しかも、水溶性モノマーが使用できないため、モノマー種が限定され、粘着テープに要求される多種多様なニーズへの対応性が乏しいという欠点があった。 Moreover, since the water-soluble monomer can not be used, the monomer species are limited, there is a disadvantage that the corresponding property is poor for a wide variety of needs required for the adhesive tape.
【0007】このようなテープ製造方法の問題を解決するための方法として、アクリルモノマーを光によって現場重合する製造方法が提案されている。 As a method for solving such a problem of the tape manufacturing process, a manufacturing method for in situ polymerization by light of acrylic monomers it has been proposed. この方法を実用化するためには、塗工特性および粘着性能に関する問題を解決しなければならない。 For practical applications of this method, it is necessary to solve the problem with the coating properties and adhesive properties. すなわち、モノマーを主体とする組成物を基材に均一に塗工するためには、該組成物の粘度が100〜20000cps 程度であることが必要であり、塗工前に該組成物を何らかの方法で増粘する必要がある。 That is, in order to uniformly applying a composition based on monomers to the substrate, the viscosity of the composition is required to be about 100~20000Cps, somehow the composition before coating it is necessary to thicken in.
【0008】特開平2−60981号公報には、このような増粘方法の一つとして、組成物成分としてアクリルゴムやエピクロルヒドリンゴムを添加して増粘する方法が記載されている。  in JP-A-2-60981, as one of such thickening method, a method of thickening by adding acrylic rubber and epichlorohydrin rubber is described as a composition component. この方法においては、アクリルモノマーとの相溶性の点から、イソプレンゴムやブチルゴムも用いることができる。 In this method, from the viewpoint of compatibility with the acrylic monomers can also be used isoprene rubber and butyl rubber. しかしながら、このゴムによる増粘方法では、光重合組成物に多官能架橋剤を配合し架橋反応を行なっても、添加されたゴムが非架橋物として粘着テープ中に残存するため、粘着力および凝集力を低下させるという問題がある。 However, in the thickening method according to the rubber, the photopolymerizable composition be subjected to multi-functional crosslinking agent blended crosslinking reaction, because the added rubber remains in the pressure-sensitive tape as a non-cross-linked product, adhesion and aggregation there is a problem of reducing the force.
【0009】また、特開昭56−30410号公報には、他の増粘方法として、保存容器に入れられた光重合組成物に、光照射して塗工可能粘度になるまで部分的に重合する方法(以下、部分光重合増粘法という)が提案されている。 Further, in JP-A-56-30410, as another thickening process, the photopolymerizable composition was placed in a storage container, partially polymerized to irradiation with light becomes coatable viscosity how to (hereinafter, referred to as partial photopolymerization increase Nebaho) it has been proposed.
【発明が解決しようとする課題】しかしながら、この方法では、均一に塗工可能な組成物粘度を得るために部分重合転化率を10%以上に高くすると、その転化ポリマーが最終的に粘着性能に悪影響を及ぼすという問題がある。 [SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in this method, uniform when the coating moiety polymerization conversion rate in order to obtain a composition viscosity as high as 10% or more, its conversion polymer finally adhesive properties there is a problem that adversely affected.
【0011】また、部分光重合増粘法において、架橋剤として多官能ビニル化合物を光重合組成物に添加する方法も考えられるが、転化ポリマー同士が相互に架橋してしまうので、ポリマー転化していない配合組成物に均一に溶解できずに塗工性が著しく悪くなるという問題がある。 Further, in the portion photopolymerization increase Nebaho is considered a method of adding a polyfunctional vinyl compound in the photopolymerizable composition as a crosslinking agent, since the conversion between polymers will crosslink to each other, are polymer conversion coatability not be uniformly dissolved in free blend composition has a problem that significantly deteriorates.
重合反応完結時には転化ポリマーが架橋するために最終的な粘着性能を低下させることなく、さらに、部分光重合時に転化ポリマーの架橋による塗工性の低下が起こらない光重合性組成物、すなわち、塗工特性および粘着性能とを共に高水準に保持したアクリル系粘弾性製品を製造することができる新規な光重合性組成物を提供することにある。 During completion of the polymerization reaction without lowering the final adhesive properties for conversion polymer is cross-linked, further, it does not occur reduction in coating properties due to crosslinking of the converted polymer during partial photopolymerization photopolymerizable composition, i.e., the coating it is to provide a novel photopolymerizable composition capable of producing an acrylic viscoelastic products together high level hold the Engineering characteristics and adhesive properties.
【0013】また、本発明の目的は、該光重合性組成物を用いたアクリル系粘弾性製品の製造方法およびアクリル系粘弾性製品を提供することにある。  Another object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method and an acrylic viscoelastic product acrylic viscoelastic product using the photopolymerizable composition.
【課題を解決するための手段】本発明は上記目的を達成すべく工夫されたもので、モノマー成分として、アクリレート系モノマー(a) とビニル化合物系モノマー(b) にさらに架橋剤として1分子中に1つの(メタ)アクリル基、および反応性がアクリル基より低い不飽和基を1つ以上有する多機能不飽和化合物を第三の不可欠成分として含有せしめることにより、塗工特性および粘着性能とを共に高水準に保持したアクリル系粘弾性製品を得ることができるという知見を得て完成されたものである。 The present invention SUMMARY OF] has been devised in order to achieve the above object, as a monomer component, acrylate-based monomer (a) and vinyl compound monomer (b) further in a molecule as a crosslinking agent by incorporating one (meth) acryl group, and a multifunctional unsaturated compound reactive with one or more low unsaturated groups than acrylic group as a third essential component, the coating properties and adhesive properties It has been completed to obtain a finding that it is possible to obtain an acrylic viscoelastic products together high level hold.

Jacqui Smith is set to become a closer friend to drivers today, as she moves to tighten regulations against dodgy wheel clampers.
The practices of rogue clamping firms have become such a problem that the Home Office will now launch a formal consultation at the end of April to consider how best to regulate the industry.
If suggested plans were adopted only licensed wheel clamp companies would be able to operate, according to a strict, enforced code of conduct.
Previously the onus was on the registration of individual clampers.
Drivers have long complained of excessive penalties for releasing their vehicles, hidden or missing signs warning of clamping, unreasonable towing of cars, and no right of appeal for owners.
Nigel Humphries, spokesperson for the Association of British Drivers (ABD), told politics.co.uk he thought the proposals were "absolutely wonderful".
"There have been cases where these cowboy firms have clamped the cars of pregnant women without the money to pay to get their car released," he said.
The home secretary said she aimed to address what she called the minority of clamping companies who indulged in unacceptable behaviour including unclear signage and excessive fees.
"We intend to look carefully at how we can introduce a scheme for compulsory licensing of clamping companies and will publish proposals shortly," she said.
However Mr Humphries believed the plans should go further.
"I don't think these companies should be allowed to take away people's cars at all. Immobilising them is one thing, and landowners need recourse to prevent drivers parking on private property, but there needs to be balance," he said.
He accused the government's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of selling on drivers' information to unscrupulous clamping firms, helping them to continue operating.
But David Whitbread, spokesperson for the DVLA, told politics.co.uk that such claims were overblown.
"The DVLA makes no profit in the small fee it charges when passing information to businesses who prove they have reasonable cause in asking for it," Mr Whitbread said.
He added that usually the DVLA doesn't need to pass details to clamping agencies.
"If they've clamped your car, they already have it, they don't need your details," he said.
All wheel clampers are currently required to register with the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
The SIA was asked to undertake a feasibility study of the various options for the regulation of wheel clamping companies in the private sector, including a company registration scheme.
Bernard Herdan, SIA chief executive, admitted some wheel clampers cause problems, but highlighted the sector will always be a target for drivers angry at being clamped.
"Vehicle immobilisation is a sector that faces criticism due to the nature of the work it does and the behaviour of some operatives in the industry," he argued.
"In response to concerns over practices in the sector we have set out how wheel clampers could be more tightly regulated through a new company licensing scheme.
"Industry and stakeholder participation in the forthcoming formal consultation will be essential. We expect all legitimate firms will welcome this new approach and will be ready to work with us to make this a success."
The Home Office will launch the consultation on private clamping companies at the end of the month.

Re: NFL 2014
Miami lit up London with a fantastic display against Oakland. Great to see the Giants returning to the form I remember from a few years ago to thump the skins and I was very impressed by the 49ers comeback against the Eagles. The Bengals and the Cardinals are now the only teams with 100% records so far this season.

There seems to have been a shift in the balance of power from east to west and south to north in both conferences!
Not long ago, the AFC West was the laughing stock with an 8-8 Denver team backing into the playoffs. The NFC West didn't cause too much fuss with the QB carousel over in San Francisco and Seattle and Arizona never recovering from their Super Bowl appearances.
Meanwhile, it was all about the Pats vs. Giants in the east, with the Saints, Falcons, Colts, and Texans all proving to be contenders.
Now the balance of power has shifted. Denver, San Diego, and Kansas City are all likely to make the playoffs, while Seattle, San Francisco, and Arizona seem to be in a league of their own (though SF has some work to do). Meanwhile, the East has been a hot mess with New England struggling and Philly being ever so shaky. The Texans are a far cry from what they were, while the Bengals, Ravens, Bears, and Packers from the north looking good, while the Saints, Colts, and Falcons all face consistency problems.
Still, the beauty of the league is even if it looks like the Steelers over the Bucs is a safe bet, the Bucs can recover from a shellacking at the hands of the Falcons and beat Big Ben!
Wow, how about them Cowboys?
They've always had an offense that can compete with the best of them, but their defense has always been a question mark. They went into Seattle with no fear and took it to the defending champs and beat them in hostile territory. Their match-up with Philadelphia will be all the more interesting now.
Hmmm could have done without that, escpecially with us being demolished by the Eagles. It was all going so well to with 'Mr Perfect' Russell Wilson running the game early on but where did that great defence go to?!. Miami did well to take Green Bay to the last play and then screw it up - depressing week!
Yeah, the Legion of Boom seems to have lost a lot of their explosiveness. They seem vulnerable to QBs with the big arm (Rivers, Romo) and can throw over their secondary with big and strong receivers (Gates/Allen/Floyd; Bryant/Williams/Witten)
Peyton Manning has now taken over Brett Favre as the NFL's touchdown king, as he spanked the vaunted San Francisco 49ers last night. All he needed was 3 quarters to put them away, while Von Miller and Demarcus Ware showed that this is a revamped Broncos defense by giving Colin Kaepernick nightmares on the pass rush all game long.
It was only matter of time for Peyton.
Gutted for the Giants - another defeat taking them to 3-4 and it is season over now. It was incredible looking at the rushing game between them and the Cowboys. They were just running through the Giants defence, whereas we were just hitting brick walls.

The big question mark with them is if they can consistently do this or have enough in them to make a deep run in the playoffs. They are the best team in the NFC right now, and arguably top 4 in the league with Denver, Indianapolis, and Green Bay. They have made a habit of shooting themselves in the foot. The worst of their schedule seems to be over. They can go 10-1 (only tricky matches with Arizona at away at the Giants) before what can be seen as their last big month hurdle, facing the Eagles, Bears, Eagles, and Colts, before closing out against Washington.
Not inconceivable for them to finish 13-3 this year, but I think they'll go 11-5. I think they'll lose to the Cardinals, to the Giants, the away match against Philly, and the Colts.
Miami follow up a great win against Buffalo to completely balls up a commanding lead against the Broncos . I was really impressed with their rushing game and fooled myself into believing they might actually win!. The Giants screw up against Dallas............again. Its clearly a 2 horse race between the Eagles and the Cowboys and the Broncos have a challenge on their hands with the Chargers and the Cheifs. The NFC South looks insane - one of those teams is going to go into the playoffs!.
The highlight of the season so far surely
Odell showing that he is as handy catching the ball from the halfway line as his namesake is scoring from it.

'I'm A Celebrity' Confirms Holly Willoughby Will Replace Ant McPartlin To Host Alongside Declan Donnelly
By Nicola Agius

OK guys, it's official. On Wednesday morning, I'm A Celebrity bosses confirmed Holly Willoughby will replace Ant McPartlin when the series returns to ITV later this year. She will present the jungle-based reality show alongside regular host Declan Donnelly live from Australia.
Commenting on the news, Willoughby admitted she was over the moon to have been given the opportunity. She said: "I couldn't be more excited to have been asked to stand alongside Dec for the next jungle adventure.
"Honestly, I'm a huge fan of I'm a Celebrity and actually feel like I've won a competition to go and hang out on my favourite show. When is it a good time to tell Dec I'm scared of everything that moves?"
Willoughby has been asked to step in for McPartlin as he has decided to take a break from work until at least the start of next year. The star explained in a statement that he is taking a step back from work commitments as he is focusing on his continued recovery from prescription drug and alcohol problems.
"My recovery is going very well and for that to continue, having spoken to Dec and ITV, I have made the decision to take the rest of the year off," he said in a statement. "I'd like to thank both Dec and ITV for their continued support and I look forward to getting back to work in the new year."

Following her decision to take on the job of replacing McPartlin on I'm A Celebrity, Willoughby admitted she has a big act to follow. However, she stressed that she has no intention of wanting to fill in for her pal permanently because she can't wait to see him back on the telly when he's feeling better. She added: "I love Ant and want to send him my best wishes and support for a continued recovery. These are big shoes, not to fill, but just to keep warm for a little bit."
Meanwhile, despite being gutted about his best friend not being able to join him in Australia this year, Donnelly has given McPartlin's replacement his seal of approval. Commenting on the news, he said: "I am hugely grateful to Holly for agreeing to accompany me to Australia this year. She was at the top of my list and I'm thrilled she said yes. It will be a different kind of series but we will try our best to ensure it is no less fun and eventful for our loyal viewers. I am also pleased to hear Holly is scared of everything. I am almost stupidly excited at the thought of watching her during the eating trials."
Unfortunately though, Twitter hasn't been quite as supportive as the lovely Donnelly. Following ITV's announcement that Willoughby had been given the job, people were quick to react the news, and to be honest, the comments were brutal AF. Check out what was said on Twitter:
Seriously, people? Ouch!
However, while the overwhelming majority of comments online seemed to disapprove of ITV's choice (despite the fact that Willoughby is surely one of the channel's safest pairs of hands), some were slightly more positive. And when I say slightly, I really do mean slightly. Here are some of the nicer reactions:
Personally, I think the nation should give Willoughby a chance. She's good friends with Donnelly, she has a brilliant sense of humour, and let's face it, it's going to be hilarious watching her reactions during those dreaded bushtucker trials.
Willoughby, I've got your back. Ignore the haters and do us proud, girl.
I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV this Autumn.

Confronting Hate Crimes and White Supremacist Violence - Cory 2020
Confronting Hate Crimes and White Supremacist Violence
White supremacy has always been a problem in our American story -- if not always at the surface, then lurking not so far beneath it.
We have seen it from slavemasters who stole and pillaged Black bodies for profit to demagogues throughout generations who stoked racist and anti-immigrant hatred, often for votes, and then enshrined this bigotry into our laws.
And, yes, racist violence has always been a part of the American story -- never more so than in times of transition and times of rapid social change.
We have seen it from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement; from the Red Summer of 100 years ago to Charlottesville; From the lynching of people of Mexican descent in Porvenir, Texas 101 years ago to the massacre targeting Latinx people in El Paso, Texas this past Saturday.
To say this, is to speak the truth plainly -- because without the truth there can be no reconciliation.
--Cory Booker, Remarks at Emanuel AME Church, August 9, 2019
Dr. King once said that "It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me [...] It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless." We have the power to act. Cory's gun violence prevention plan, which has been called "among the most far-reaching of any presidential campaign ever," would make it much harder for those intent on committing hate crimes to access guns. But we also need to focus on violence motivated by hate and white supremacy. That's why, as president, Cory would confront rising hate crimes and white supremacist violence by improving the federal and local response, addressing online hate, and supporting communities and victims of hate crimes.
Improve federal and local policies and response
Hate crimes are vastly underreported in America. We won't succeed in reducing hate crimes and violence motivated by white supremacy without improving the response of federal and local authorities and fostering better communication and collaboration with impacted communities. As president, Cory will:
Create a White House Office on Hate Crimes and White Supremacist Violence to bring together federal agencies and community organizations to improve upon and coordinate the federal response and ensure that dedicated resources are addressing hate crimes and to helping victims and impacted communities.
Improve reporting of hate crimes by helping local law enforcement agencies establish policies and training for officers on how to identify, investigate, and report crimes, as required in the Khalid Jabara-Heather Heyer NO HATE Act.
Improve how the federal government collects and records data on domestic terrorism and how the federal government addresses it by increasing the coordination, transparency, and accountability of these processes, including requiring the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit annual reports.
Require that the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conduct assessments of the threats posed by white supremacists and report out annually to Congress and the public.
Direct the FBI and DOJ to provide updated guidance on the nature and severity of the white supremacist threat to state and local law enforcement and to create joint state and federal task forces to share information about, monitor and investigate activity, and prosecute white supremacist crime.
Direct the FBI to reinstate the specific white supremacist designation and end the misleading "racially motivated violent extremism" category, which will help ensure that the FBI's classification system accurately captures the threat of white supremacist violence.
Mandate and improve the reporting of hate crimes to the DOJ by state and local law enforcement agencies.
Pass and sign into law Cory's Justice for Victims of Lynching Act, which would make lynching a federal crime for the first time.
Require the DOJ and FBI to prioritize resources to address acts of violence and mass violence motivated by white supremacy, in the same way they prioritize international terrorism.
Increase resources and staffing at the DOJ Civil Rights Division to strengthen investigations, training and coordination to address hate crimes.
Empower and support communities and victims of hate crimes
Hate crimes create fear and distrust, which isolate victims and entire communities. We must address these barriers to make it safer and easier for victims to report crimes and for communities to access and direct resources where and how they will be most effective. As president, Cory will:
Create an external advisory group of community stakeholders impacted by hate crimes to share information with and advise the White House, as well as DOJ, FBI and DHS officials working to investigate and address hate crimes.
Invest in grant programs at federal agencies including the DOJ, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Labor that help heal and empower victims that have experienced hate crimes and acts of violence in their communities, schools, and workplaces.
Ensure that immigrants can access law enforcement and emergency health care without fear by directing the Department of Justice to expand the list of "sensitive locations" so that all immigrants and their families can carry out basic activities and access crucial services without fear of arrest, detainment, or deportation.
Address hate online
Social media and other online platforms are being used as forums for the spread of hate, fear, and violence. More must be done to limit the use of these forums to spread violence, while ensuring the protection of First Amendment rights. As president, Cory will:
Improve existing infrastructure and tools within DOJ to ensure that efforts focused on violence by white supremacists include online threats and recruitment.
Reduce the spread of hate and online radicalization by working with social media and online platforms on strategies like civil rights audits that improve transparency and accountability to keep communities safe from white supremacist threats, consistent with the First Amendment.
Create grants for higher education institutions to study and research hate crimes and models for prevention, including white supremacist recruitment online.
Work with international partners and internet platforms to address violent extremism on the internet around the world.

Causality: causality is the relation between two (separate) entities, whereby a state change of the one entity causes the state of the other entity to change. Nowadays it is assumed that an energy transfer is crucial for talking about a causal link.
D. Hume was the first to consistently deny the observability of cause and effect. (David Hume Eine Untersuchung über den menschlichen Verstand, Hamburg, 1993, p. 95).
Causality/attachment theory/Shaver/Mikulincer: In the earliest studies of infant attachment, Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters and Wall (1978) identified several maternal behaviours during home observations of mother-child interactions that were associated with an infant's attachment security in the Strange Situation. These behaviours included, for example, being responsive to the infant's crying, timing of feeding, sensitivity to the infant's signals and needs, psychological accessibility when the infant was distressed or signalled a need or desire for support and comfort. In subsequent decades, dozens of studies followed up Ainsworth et al.'s (1978)(1) findings and further linked infant attachment security with sensitive maternal behaviour and the quality of paternal care-giving (see Atkinson, Niccols, Paglia et al. 2000(2); De Wolff and van IJzendoorn 1997(3), for reviews and meta-analyses). Based on this solid evidence, van IJzendoorn and Bakermans-Kranenburg (2004(4), p. 248) concluded that 'the causal role of maternal sensitivity in the formation of the infant-mother attachment relationship is a strongly corroborated finding.


There's a champion connected to every significant achievement.
The trouble with corporate teams is they feel too little. Great ideas apart from passionate champions never soar. What ignites fire in your heart? Do that.
Pick up the ball and run. You might nudge them, but they always end up taking ownership. You don't have to pressure someone to do what they love.
See a need and fill it because they want to, not because they have to.
Complain that others don't get it. Complaints reveal commitments. Don't soothe the complaints of champions. Explore their commitments.
Imagine themselves as contributors. Imagination ignites energy. You imagine success before you achieve it.
Work when others aren't watching. Recognition is helpful, but not necessary for champions.
Make champions of others. The energy of champions pulls fringe people into the battle. Commitment invites commitment. Going through the motions never ignites passion in others. People follow dedicated banner-wavers.
Offend the uncommitted. Complaints about champions reveal lack of commitment by others.
Press through, rather than make excuses.
Say no! Perhaps the most important aspect of being a champion is saying no to good ideas so you can pour yourself into a single great idea.
Give energy rather than drain it.
Protect their passion. Don't let them get involved in everything.
Fuel their fire by noticing their progress.
Confront naysayers. Never let those who aren't doing much be the reason you hobble a passionate champion.
Lift champions out of the weeds so they can see their contribution.
Help champions see where they're banging their head against the wall. Passion blinds champions.
Remind them to take simple-next-steps when they're impatient.
Great ideas never outperform a single-minded champion with an average idea.
How might leaders identify and maximize champions?
How might leaders protect champions?

Trump Wanted Massive Raids on Immigrants Across 10 Cities, Including Children and Parents — Report
BY Chris Walker	May 14, 2019
Weeks before former Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen was fired from her position, she and another member of her department, Ronald Vitiello, who was also fired, fought against a secret White House policy that would have resulted in raids against thousands of migrant families within the U.S.
Photo by John Moore/Getty Images
The plan, as the Washington Post reported on earlier this week, was meant to be a show of force by the administration, to act as a deterrence against families coming to the U.S. and to send a message that the Trump White House was going to get tougher on immigrants. The targeted arrests would allegedly include parents and their children.
It included plans to fast-track thousands of migrants through the immigration court system, and to expand the authority of the government to deport individuals who were no-shows to those hearings. The subsequent arrests of "no-shows" would require raids against parents and children in their homes and neighborhoods.
A secret White House plan to arrest 1000s of parents & children in blitz operation against migrants in 10 major U.S. cities.
The subsequent arrests would have required coordinated raids against parents & children in their homes & neighborhoods#IMMIGRATIONhttps://t.co/pFR7OGhNxF
— Anna Núñez (@nunez_anna) May 14, 2019
Seven anonymous sources detailed the plan to the Post, stating that it included conducting raids in 10 major American cities.
Vitiello and Nielsen objected to the plans, worrying that there wasn't enough preparedness among U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents if the raids occurred. The duo also was concerned that public sentiment wouldn't back the plans, much like how most were against the family separation policy once it was exposed. The sources viewed their objections as more logistical rather than ethical.
The initial list of people being targeted in the plan included 2,500 names, but could have been expanded to up to 10,000 individuals. The plan is reportedly still under consideration, although at the time of it initially being debated one of the sources said it was "nowhere near ready for prime time."
Pushback by Nielsen and Vitiello was allegedly part of the reason why the two were fired from the Trump administration. Trump has reportedly been upset about increases in immigration from families since the end of the family separation policy last year.
Previous reporting from HillReporter.com detailed how the president had privately expressed a desire to reinstate the policy to separate migrant parents from their children if they're detained in the U.S., viewing it as a proper way to deter immigrants from crossing the border. Nielsen allegedly stood up against the president's demands on the topic, arguing that it'd be difficult to reinstate the policy since the courts wouldn't be on the administration's side on the issue.
After allegations that Trump wanted the policy reinstated surfaced, he spoke out and denied the claims. "We're not looking to do that, no. We're not looking to do that," Trump said, per reporting from CNN last month.
Yet the president seemed to view the policy as a way to deter migration. "[W]hen you don't do it, it brings a lot more people to the border," Trump added.

Policy debate at center of Biden-Manchin standoff
Congress expanded the scope of the child tax credit through the end of the year as part of a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief law that Congress, including Mr. Manchin, approved with just Democratic votes. Democrats hope to expand it and eventually make it permanent.
The credit, first established in the late 1990s, was extended to cover more families and this year allowed direct monthly payments of up to $250 per child, or $300 for a child under the age of 6. was reorganized to allow It also became fully refundable, meaning families required to provide proof of income or pay federal income tax to receive payments.
Of the country's 74 million children, nearly nine in 10 qualify, and expanded eligibility for families at the lower end of the income scale has significantly reduced child poverty.
In an October Census Bureau report that tracked how nearly 300,000 recipients spent their first three payments this summer, researchers found that nearly half of households spent some portion of the money on food. Other families said they used the money to help pay their rent, mortgage, utilities, child care and school expenses.
Under the version of the Domestic Policy Bill passed by the House, the program will be extended for another year. Without the expansion of the expanded program, the loan size would be significantly reduced, especially for low-income households. And it will revert to paying a lump sum once a year associated with filing the tax return instead of half of the monthly distributions.

Peppa Pig World awarded Best Family Theme Park in the Tommy Awards
Posted on March 1st 2015
Peppa Pig World, part of Paultons Family Theme Park, has been awarded Best Family Theme Park in the Tommy's Awards, beating stiff competition from five of the UK's top theme parks, including Cbeebies Land at Alton Towers and Thomas Land at Drayton Manor.
The Tommy's Awards is the flagship event of baby charity Tommy's. The charity funds research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage, and provides information for parents-to-be. This was the first time that Peppa Pig World, situated in Hampshire, had received the accolade, and it was credited for having gone above and beyond in being baby and parent friendly.
Commercial director of Paultons Park, Stephen Lorton, said: "It's such a compliment to have received the coveted Tommy's Award. The charity is dedicated to the welfare of parents and parents to be: a cause close to our hearts and to so many of our visitors.
"Staff at Peppa Pig World always go that extra mile to ensure that parents and children enjoy their experience at the park and it's great that this has been recognised by such a prestigious award."
The ceremony was a glitzy affair held at the Landmark London hotel. It was hosted by TV and radio presenter and mum of two Katy Hill and 20,000 parents voted for their favourite family-friendly companies.
As well as being home to Peppa Pig World, Paultons Park offers an exciting range of features and attractions including the all-new Critter Creek - a new mini-land of weird and wonderful discoveries from the park's resident nutty professor: Professor Blast.
Peppa Pig World and Paultons Park will be open during Easter. For further information, and to book tickets online in advance, visit www.peppapigworld.co.uk or paultonspark.co.uk.

When Oscar Farinetti came across the Montalcino stand, he immediately recognised his label, the celebratory tile he had designed for Benvenuto Brunello 2014, and wanted to immortalise it in a photo together with Montalcino's Deputy Mayor, Angelo Braconi and sommelier and truffle sensory analysis judge, Luigi Pinarello. This happened last weekend at FICO, Eataly's giant food-themed park in Bologna, where for two days the National Association of Truffle Cities celebrated the truffle and presented a summary of the process that led to "Truffle hunting and extraction in Italy" becoming a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage candidate.
The opening ceremony on 6 October was followed by a screening of the short film "Memories of truffles. A hidden story", which accompanies the candidacy dossier. Attending the event were the President of the Truffle Cities, Michele Boscagli, the Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies' Industry, Trade and Tourism Committee, and the host, Eataly founder, Oscar Farinetti. The latter subsequently visited the Montalcino stand, which featured Brunello di Montalcino (offered by the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino) and the prized Sand Giovanni d'Asso White Truffle, as well as other truffle products. The following day, Luigi Pinarello led a tasting entitled "The Truffle marries Brunello", where he explained the difference between "real" and surrogate truffles, the history of Brunello and how these two examples of gastronomic excellence from the Montalcino area can complement each other. How did it go? 40 people, a full house, in the same way the products on the wine and food stand sold out.
