Clarendon school budget up 2.1 percentBy SANDI SWITZER
Correspondent | February 28,2013CLARENDON This years town meeting ballot will have two questions for voters on the school spending plan.
Clarendon Elementary Schools proposed $3,176,272 budget has triggered a two-vote provision under state statutes.
According to school officials, the two votes are necessary because the school districts spending per pupil last year was more than the statewide average and this years budget proposal is more than last years when adjusted for inflation.
Principal Fred Valastro attributed the increased per-pupil spending to a large loss in revenue, including decreased tuition fees and a loss of $36,000 in federal education jobs bill funds.
Voters will be asked to approve $3,131,851 for fiscal year 2013-14 as well as $44,421. The two ballot items total $3,176,272 the amount school directors determined was needed to operate the school next year.
The proposed budget is up just 2.1 percent over last year, according to Valastro.
Clarendon Elementary School has done a very good job restraining the expenses which we are able to control, he said.
Over the past several years, school officials have reduced the number of paraprofessionals from 20 to 10 and eliminated three full-time faculty positions.
Were keeping our expenses as low as possible. Any more cuts would affect programs, he added.
The principal said the proposed $3,176,272 budget was less than the schools 2011 spending plan of $3,257,905.
Stan Pawlaczyk, business manager for the Rutland South Supervisory Union, said the $3,176,272 amount included a $15,000 building fund request.
Last year, the building fund was a separate article, he said. The actual budget to run the school is $3,161,272 and then when you add the $15,000 building fund, it brings it up to $3,176,272.
Subtract the building fund, he said, and the proposed budget is up $65,778 or 2.1 percent.
Expenditures are up slightly due to salary increases, along with a 14 percent hike in health insurance rates, according to Pawlaczyk.
Elisabeth Kulas Klopchin, a taxpayer, parent and unopposed candidate for the School Board, urged voters to approve both articles.
I have attended the School Board meetings as the proposed Clarendon Elementary budget was drafted. I believe this budget is fair to the taxpayers and will provide our children with the best education possible for the next school year, she said. The impact on any individual homeowner will be minimal and will result in a huge positive impact on our students.
Pawlaczyk said the state statute requiring a split vote on school budgets would not be an issue in the future.
This is the last year of the two-vote requirement, he said.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Ringside Seat: The Angry Whites Liquidation Sale
Let it not be said that the GOP doesn't know it has a problem. As Senator Lindsay Graham said last year, "We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term." And in the November election, that became vividly clear. Mitt Romney lost Latino voters by 44 points, Asian-American voters by 47 points, and voters under 30 by 23 points. So in the months since, the Republicans have been racking their brains to come up with ways to appeal to voters who do not happen to be older white men.
So how's it going? Well, this week, not so great. First you had Ben Carson, the Baltimore neurosurgeon who, as a black conservative, has become a hero to the right, getting a bit too frank about marriage in an appearance on Fox News. Heterosexual marriage, he said, is "a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality—it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition." When people became somewhat displeased with this rhetoric, Carson said, "I think people have completely taken the wrong meaning out of what I was saying." Yeah.
Cut to Alaska congressman Don Young growing wistful about the old days: "My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes." Like Carson, he apologized if anyone got offended.
And there's the Republicans' problem: It's one thing for party leaders to say, however sincerely, that they want to reach out to minorities. But if people in your party keep popping off with statements like those, you aren't going to get anywhere.
So They Say
"The president has launched a war on Americans' Second Amendment rights. He has launched a war on religious freedom. He has launched a war on fossil fuels. He is working to nationalize one-sixth of the economy with job-killing ObamaCare. He wants to collect a greater portion of every American paycheck, not for the purpose of paying down the national debt but to expand his governing machine. He doesn't believe in creating a bigger pie with more opportunity for all. He believes in greater redistribution of a much smaller pie. If you're unsure of what this America would look like, Google 'Cyprus' or 'Greece.' "
—Liz Cheney, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed
Daily Meme: Free Falling
- Have you heard? North Dakota is the freest state in the nation!
- According to a new report from the Koch brothers-friendly Mercatus Center, North Dakota, where women are few and abortion clinics are fewer, is just full to bursting with liberty.
- Alex Pareene explains: "this is how the Mercatus Center defines freedom: the right of people with money to keep it all, and for everyone else to fuck off. Almost any Liberty issue that wouldn't concern a straight, white, male capitalist is wholly ignored."
- Oh, okay! With that context in mind, it's now safe to dig into some of the more amusing and disheartening details in the results.
- National Review notes that North Dakota could have been even more free if it cut spending and sang the praises of the free market a tad more.
- The Blaze is absolutely horrified to learn that the free-market paradise known as Texas has dropped nine places on the freedom index.
- Why is Texas's liberty so tarnished? "It's dinged for the fact that its local governments have relatively high levels of debt. What on earth does that have to do with freedom?"
- The New Hampshire Union-Leader, which endorsed Newt Gingrich in the 2012 primaries, is also sad that its state has fallen in the rankings.
- But freedom-lovers in New Hampshire can take comfort in the fact that they are No. 1 in fighting the tyranny of seat belts and happy hour restrictions.
- If the only freedom you care about is the freedom to host a kickass bachelor party, Massachusetts is your state.
- Paul Waldman's analysis: "Elite conservatives often wax poetic about the 'real America,' small towns and places in 'the heartland,' where people supposedly have superior values and life is good. Yet for some reason, they don't choose to live there."
What We're Writing
- The stunning reversal in public opinion on same-sex marriage has elated gay-rights supporters and electrified the movement. But what about their mulish opponents? Gabriel Arana takes a look at the shrinking minority being left behind.
- We don't deny teenagers the right to speak (in most households), so why deny them the right to vote? Jonathan Bernstein writes that a Washington suburb's plan to lower the voting age to 16 is an idea whose time has come.
What We're Reading
- Bloomberg profiles Organizing for America, which is having some growing pains trying to figure out campaigning in a post-election world.
- Chicago Reader's Steve Bogira thinks important thoughts about the role of journalists in identifying social ills, and whether presenting solutions is a job requirement.
- "It's Sequester Eve so I'm putting out milk and cookies for Jack Lew," and other collected hits from the Steve Stockman Twitter archives.
- Why is the military so much better at recruiting at rural schools than elite universities?
- Commenting on the White House's latest gun-control push, Adam Gopnik writes, "To believe that gun control can't work here is to believe that the psyches of Americans are different from those of everyone else on earth."
- Mitch McConnell won't have to deal with Ashley Judd in his re-election bid next year. But will he be challenged from the Tea Party right?
- What if U.S. drug policy started focusing on the dangerous stuff—alcohol?
Poll of the Day
The vast majority of Americans believe climate change is real and that coastal-dwellers should prepare for its effects; they just don't want the government to pay for that preparation, according to a poll from Stanford's Wood Institute for the Environment. The favored solution is having business and people solve their own problems, not exactly an auspicious sign for the future of climate reform.

Just a question: if the Republicans seem to poll so poorly, why did they almost win the last Presidential election. Obama squeaked by with 51 percent which, in my book, is no landslide, not matter what the triumphalists among us seem to believe.
I find it difficult to believe that it's just "angry white guys" who lined up to give Mitt Romney an ironic 47 percent of the vote.
While it is great sport to watch the Republicans chase their own tails, trying to determine why they've lost two Presidential elections in a row, I think it would behoove the Democratic Party to ask itself why it doesn't do better than a bare majority of the popular vote.
Maybe it's the much vaunted "voter suppression," maybe it's apathy, maybe it's something else, such as realizing that Barack Obama is no liberal, he's a rightward leaning centrist who may be personally charismatic but a largely inept leader co-opted by the Tim Geithners and Larry Summers of the world.
Sadly, 2016 is just around the electoral corner and the Democrats are just one October Surprise away from being back in the hinterlands again.
Seriously, guys, look in a mirror sometime.
Sun, 2013-03-31 00:50
As much as I hate to say it,Mitt was correct ion one thing .47% of the people would NEVER vote for a Republican.Just as there is about 47% who would NEVER vote for a Democrat.We have become so polarized. It wouldn't matter if the President had the solution to Global Warming(Climate Change...whatever)Personally paid off the national debt,cured cancer and found out who killed Cock Robin and the 47% that vote Republican would still vote Republican. So the truth is the American Political system is controlled by the 6% of the people that refuse to be part of the herd.
Our system has become more of political purity than the betterment of the country. Even if it is good for the country the political purists are talking about primary challenges. Idiots equating the President to Adolf Hitler is ludicrous. Healthcare is not the Holocaust.But more and more the extreme right is coming up with the same nonsense.Am I wrong ? Do I see that the divide between Americans is the biggest threat to our liberty and our country since the Civil War?I hear the right reading the Constitution and saying The Pledge of Allegiance and wonder how are they getting it so wrong. We are strongest when we are "One Nation Indivisible" Instead we are two parties willing to destroy our country to continue their hold on power.
Mon, 2013-04-01 12:03
It seems like the GOP is getting more flack over social issues than economic ones (albeit Romney's biggest weakness was being a blatantly out-of-touch rich man). So perhaps their salvation would be in shifting to the libertarian realm: It only makes sense to couple a commitment to free markets with a commitment to free immigration, for example. (And a commitment to lowering the deficit with a commitment to spending less on defense, etc.)
The only problem there is that the social conservatives are their base. Depending on his/her home state, a Republican is almost as likely to get in trouble for calling gays decent humans beings as for calling them monsters. And look at how the Obama people played with birtherism, eg, releasing the certificate so as to prompt the Tea Partiers to squawk predictably about its fakeness and the Manichurian Muslim-sympathizing candidate we have -- just before the announcement of the killing of bin Laden.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by saragoat74 great dress for my "tough girl in a dress" wardrob I had been longing for this dress for a while and finally took the plunge and bought it. I got the charcoal one in a small. I'm about 5'4" and 120lbs. I always love how little dresses of this length look on the girls on FP website but sometimes they can make a girl of my size look "squat". Not that case with this dress! Because it's more fitted on top then swingy on bottom it is perfect. I love dresses but, being a tattooed tough mama, I must be able to rock a dress with knee socks and my Sven clog boots or vintage Fryes AND over jeans. This dress was DARLING! Loved it both ways. I'm a buyer&mgr of a boutique and got compliments on it from my sales girls and customers. Some reviews said it was sheer and mentioned the slip creepin up. I had neither of these issues. I really appreciated the slip bc i love slips under almost every dress. The slip stays put while the outer dress is flowy&swingy. In my opinion this is a year round dress. Fall/Winter with an infinity scarf, oversized sweater and sock&boots. Spring/Summer with a big necklace and sandals/dock shoes/low top chucks. now i may have to get another color;) 2.9.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by skylarquinn i wasn't overwhelmed with this dres i got it in the white color and was kinda disappointed. i'm 5'11" and the dress just didn't fit my figure flatteringly. it was too short and just looked to small on my tall frame. i even got a larger size. i don't even think it looks that good on the model personally. 10.10.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dallasdiva More of a cover-up I didn't care for this at all. I didn't realize just how thin the dress would be. This is more of a cover-up than a dress in that regard. In person the sparkle did look very cheap... more Urban Outfitter than FP, I suppose this is supposed to be a "budget" offering. The problem is that it is way overpriced for what it is. If you get this, size down 1 full size. 6.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rufus cute! Easy to wear, polished look with capri leggings -- I just bought this dress in another color because I like it so much! perfect fit. 5.24.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by canadaytd Cute but wrong color First my size: 36b in chest, 12 in US pants, 5'8 height and about 170 weight. This dress is pretty cute. I only have the complaint that the Cream color in the picture and the cream color i got are not the same. The one that came in the mail is more of a sand color than anything. It is way too close to my skin color so i think it will be returned because it isn't flattering color wise. Style wise it is really cute and i love the sheen to it. I have the pink headed my way so fingers crossed that color is correct. Kinda short but a good easy night out kind of dress or paired with leggings good with any weather. Wish it was more white than sand. I ordered a size medium. 5.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kiki27 absolutely love it! I ordered the charcoal dress in size XS, as it was the only size left, and the reviews stated that it runs a bit large. Made a good choice! I'm 5'4 and 110 lbs, and it fits very nicely! I could have gone for S too, as this one is a tiny bit tight around the chest but it still looks great. I'm loving the light fabric and the shape of the dress! The colour is not quite as blue as in the pictures but I'm sure it will look great in the summer eve:) 5.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cmg1227 wish they would restock I really love this dress! I tried it on in the store and fell in love but decided to wait to buy online because i needed a small instead of a medium. to my disappointment there are only larges left :( hopefully fp will restock soon! 4.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hmmurfitt Love Love Love!! definitely one of my favorite dresses! perfect fit! absolutely love it :) 4.8.2013

Do you translate or trans-create? It's an important decision if you want to capitalize on the rapidly growing Hispanic market.
The dilemma decision-makers often have when they are ready to engage with this target audience is that they rely on straight translations of their Anglo campaigns into Spanish. Some of them also feel that because they are trying to reach a U.S. Hispanic bilingual/bicultural audience through English media, there is no need to create a Hispanic campaign. This lack of understanding is what makes companies lose millions of dollars and countless opportunities.
The most effective way to reach the rapidly growing Hispanic market is through culturally relevant communication campaigns. I call it trans-creations.
In some cases, there are creative concepts that when translated into Spanish, the message will get across. However, is it going to be impactful enough and make the consumers buy your products or services? Not necessarily. The key is to know how you can emotionally and culturally connect your brand with Hispanics. How can you tell a story that will make them feel engaged enough to place your brand in that specific moment of their lives. Hispanics are very passionate about their language, their culture, and where they come from. So, it is extremely important to understand who your target audience is, their habits and consumption patterns, language of preference, and level of acculturation.
This is where a lot of marketing professionals fall short. You can have a strong, creative campaign for the general market but you cannot assume that by simply translating it into Spanish that it will engage or activate this audience. Why? Because the campaign was conceived for a total different audience, with different culture, values, language, and brand perception.

Spring Quilt Market was in Portland this year…so just a short drive down from Seattle for me.
By now the set up is pretty simple….I hauled my big blue dresser down (it's so heavy!), hung some quilts, and we were done!
My booth was in the Windham Fabrics section across from Heather Ross. I had such a great time getting to know her and she's just as sweet as she looks…even after I told her I was big dorky fan.
We were also there with Carrie of Such Designs…and her beautiful quilts. She is so.much.fun.
I didn't get to walk around much this time, but there were some great colorful booths here and there when I did.
I spotted a Scout quilt in the Robert Kaufman booth.
Loved these cute fabrics by Monaluna.
Heather Bailey had this amazing embroidered (?) bird on the wall of her booth.
Jeni did such a great job on this cute modern booth!
Moda cut thousands of leaves out of fabric to hang…it was really beautiful.
I flew through a book signing…and only managed to spell a couple of people's names wrong and write a "Brenda" instead of "Brandy". By now my brain was mush.
It was a whirlwind weekend and I am happy to be home, unpacked, and back in my stretchy pants. ;)

Most financial institutions issue debit cards for their customers to use at ATMs. Elevations Credit Union ATMs are non-surcharging to members and are located around campus. Consult with your bank for their locations around town. If you're making a purchase or paying a bill on campus, checks are usually accepted with two forms of identification (one must be a current Buff OneCard). Regarding Boulder banks, to cash a check you must have an account at that bank. Make sure to ask your bank about overdraft protection as well.

Techniques of High Magic: A Guide to Self-Empowerment, by Francis King and Stephen Skinner
Destiny Books, 0892813504, 228pp., 1976
This book brings together Francis King and Stephen Skinner to create what they believe is a beginner's guide to High Magic. Their definition of magick was short and sweet; "the art and science of using little known natural forces in order to achieve changes in consciousness and the physical environment". Though despite being a beginner's book, they don't discuss what magick can be used for, what reasons there are for magick, but after a bit of theorizing about magick jump right into it.
They discuss the first steps of magic on their path, which is Continue reading

Cars 2: The Video Game hands-on
Disney Pixar will be unleashing Cars 2: The Video Game in the summer to tie in the with the film sequel's release at the cinema and we were invited along to Disney HQ for a sneak preview.
Movie spin-off games have a tendency to be a bit disappointing, but making a driving game from the Cars series is a no-brainer and works extremely well.
The game will be available on Xbox 360, Wii and DS and what's more - there'll be a 3D version that's exclusive to the PS3. The game has a multiplayer option so it's ideal for families to pit their driving skills against each other (let's face it, otherwise the kids would never actually get a turn with dads having the tendency to hog the controller). Up to four players can join in at the same time.
Set after the events of the film, the Cars 2 game features an international training centre where the cars are schooled to become world-class spies. Known as CHROME (Command Headquarters for the Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage), the training facility has a variety of different clearance levels that you need to pass through to become a master spy. You can choose to play as old favourties like Lightning McQueen and Mater or as one of the brand new characters from the upcoming film like Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell.
There's plenty of variety - you can either just use the traditional campaign mode for straightforward racing, or choose various other modes including 'battle race', which incorporates spy gadgets like missiles and machine guns that you can use on the other characters while you're racing. As you move through different levels, you earn spy points which can be used to unlock new levels as well as new tracks and cars.
There are also two spy mission modes that take place on the tracks - the first is 'attack mode' which involves chasing and attacking enemy cars until the time runs out. This is a great way of getting used to all the different gadgets and what they do. Second, there's the 'survival mode' that teaches you how to navigate the tracks. The aim is to follow the route of the pace car, while picking up the batteries that it drops. These boost your forcefield so that you can survive for longer.
There are also three modes that are set in arenas, rather than on tracks - 'arena' which is a head-to-head battle mode, 'disruptor', which is a 'capture the flag' style game and 'hunter' where you try to take out as many enemy cars as possible. There's also an option to create your own race, customising options such as the track, the number of laps and the type of spy gadgets available.
We were given a run-through of the game by its senior producer, Jon Warner, who told us that: "We worked really closely with Pixar on the animation and the script so that it would live up to the experience of the films, and add an extra dimension when it comes to gameplay and flexibility."
The first thing we noticed when we stepped up to try our hand at the Xbox version was how cool the graphics were. You can choose from a number of cartoonish racetracks that are set in cities around the world. We opted for the London track, which saw Lightning McQueen zooming along the banks of the Thames (and into it, by mistake). The visuals look great, so fans of the film are unlikely to be disappointed.
As you'd expect, the right-hand trigger button is used for acceleration while the left-hand stick is used for steering. Other controls include Jump (A), Turbo (X), Shoot gadget (Y), Drift (B). What's more, the right-hand stick offers some nifty extras - for example, you can use it to bash other cars out of the way or to do somersaults when you're in the air. It's all pretty easy to pick up so that it's easy enough for the nippers to learn, while also giving the adults a decent game to play as well.
If you're used to racing games and you want more challenges, as well as something that's kid-friendly, then Cars 2 has plenty to offer.
Cars 2: The Video game will launch in June 2011 in the US and July in Europe, at the same time that the film is released in cinemas.

Long Mile at Lillyhall ran out of ultimate diesel yesterday, and Fairfield Garage in Cockermouth ran out of diesel yesterday morning and expected to run out of unleaded by yesterday evening. Cockermouth's Oakhurst service station declined to comment.
They were all expecting deliveries last night or this morning.
Eric Best, manager of Middlemoor on Stainburn Road, said: "Our sales of fuel have increased by half.
"We are a designated site used a lot by the emergency services and I believe they will get the fuel to us one way or another. We just hope it doesn't become a free-for-all."
Steve Trembath, site manager of Hills Long Mile, said: "We've had people coming in for fuel who don't normally come in.

Some drivers said they waited nearly 30 minutes.
Bill White-Smythe, 46, of Ewanrigg Road, Maryport, who was filling up at Morrisons, said: "I've waited for ages. Everyone seems a bit panicked that they're going to run out."
At Oakhurst in Cockermouth, Simon Waide, 23, of Slatefell Drive, said: "It's worrying what they're saying and that's why I'm filling up today."
Cumbria County Council, which takes a lead role in planning for emergencies, said it was working with police, fire service, district councils and other organisations to make sure contingency plans were in place so essential services could continue to operate in the event of a fuel shortage.
But a spokesman urged people not to panic.
On Monday, Unite announced that members working for five main fuel distribution firms had voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over safety and terms and conditions.
The Government has been discussing its contingency plans to cope with any strike action.
A spokesman said it was training about 200 army personnel to stand in for tanker drivers if a strike was called to ensure that the emergency services had fuel.

Have your say
Well done everyone for joining that long queue for petrol at Morrisons. Did anyone ever consider their stupdity of blocking the road, particulary the mini roundabout to get in and out of the area? THe same problem arises at Christmas too. The entry and exit system on this area needs re routed to avoid this probem.
Are we all stupid it certainley seems like it as in last weeks budget the Government increased the duty on fuel by another 3p a litre then immediately announced there could be strikes, which in turn nobody no is bothered about the fule hike, I saw this used in my younger days the company sent a rumopur around that there were 60 people to be paid off mass panic endured and in the end they paid 12 people off and everything went quite this is government propoganda at its best

The METALARC PRO-TECH metal halide lamps were created to fill the need for a safe light source for applications where a protective lens on the metal halide fixture was either impractical or detrimental to fixture design.
The METALARC PRO-TECH lamp design enhances safety in open or enclosed fixtures and includes a shroud around the arc tube and, in some cases, a thicker walled outer jacket. In addition, METALARC PRO-TECH lamps have a reduction in UV output compared to standard metal halide lamps.
With the benefit of open fixtures, these high output METALARC PRO-TECH lamps are ideal for higher ceiling applications where enclosed fixtures might previously have been necessary. The use of open fixtures means more light output over life and lower maintenance costs because there are no lenses to gather dirt and dust, thus extending lamp replacement procedures.

SLU President Receives John D. Levy Human Relations Award
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) of St. Louis has selected Saint Louis University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J., to receive its annual John D. Levy Human Relations Award.
The award is named for the late civic leader John D. Levy, past president of the St. Louis regional office and national vice-president of the AJC.
The award honors those, who like Levy, have applied their leadership, creativity and commitment to service to make St. Louis a better place.
Since 1968, the St. Louis Regional Office of American Jewish Committee (AJC) has bestowed its human relations award on a select group of individuals with outstanding leadership, creativity and commitment to the metropolitan region.
Robert Newmark, Regional Board President of the AJC-St. Louis, said Biondi's contributions are far reaching.
"Father Lawrence Biondi's impact on our region has been remarkable and will continue to benefit generations to come," Newmark said. "
"We are thrilled to see Father Biondi accept this award from the AJC, an organization with its own strong commitment to building bridges of mutual respect and understanding among diverse ethnic and religious communities in our area, across America and around the world."
Former SLU president Paul Reinert, S.J., was the 1983 honoree.The award was presented Monday, June 13, at the AJC-St. Louis annual dinner.

The idea of worshiping a golden idol is from biblical times, but the practice of it is still alive and well. What could better define the worship of false idols than addiction? In the bible, the term "golden idol" is used to mean anything we put above God in our lives. The Egyptians, Neo-Babylonians and other nations would erect golden statues to represent their gods, and it was often a crime not to bow before them. Worship of these false gods instead of the one true God would lead to personal demise, according to the bible.
In the present time, false idol worship is an old adage, and quite correctly represents everything that addiction is. It does not refer to a mere fondness for something unworthy of praise, it refers to a reverential worship of something unworthy of worship. Addiction drives a person to crave something so strongly that they are willing to serve it with their whole person in order to have access to it. For example, in cases of severe alcoholism, alcoholics will frequently organize their time, energy and money around alcohol. They are always sure to have funds for alcohol. They plan their days around drinking and will frequently avoid events that will inhibit their plans to drink. If anything unpredictable or stressful happens, they feel an overwhelming need to comfort themselves with alcohol. If drinking begins to harm their relationships, they will concoct elaborate schemes to hide their drinking from view of the people in their lives. Imagine, this incredible amount of thought and energy expended on serving a substance instead of the Creator of the Universe. This is the very epitome of worshiping a golden idol.
Though this phrase is commonly used with a severe connotation, conjuring up images of fire and brimstone as punishment for worship of a false idol, it is interpreted differently in modern times. The merciful and selfless life of Christ shows us that God does not desire punishment for us, but rather health, hope, joy and prosperity. God created us to worship him and to find fulfillment in him, so when we turn from him and place our adoration on something else, we are essentially doing something that is unnatural and toxic to ourselves. God does not want to condemn us, he wants to redeem us. He warns us to rebuke false idols – money, fame, glory, sex, drugs, alcohol – so that we will not become lost and fall into despair, but instead become rich in the spirit and pure of heart so that we may receive everlasting life in paradise with Him.

Okay cool, did not realize basically any IP camera can do this. Do not see the need to record the video I am thinking, perhaps but right now does not seem to be a necessity, but I like the idea of the 2 way audio, definitely. Will look into cameras that do that.
Any IP camera can do what your asking. Just find one that gets good reviews and falls into your budget. Depending on how much you want to spend you can even do 2 way audio through them so you could talk to the dog. Pan and Zoom, etc. etc. Maybe you can get buy with one if you can do pan and zoom.
Are you looking to store this video - then look to http://www.ispyconnect.com/
Or if your looking to have multiple IP cameras all available from 1 interface, etc. They don't even need to be IP cameras if your can connect them to PC I believe. So like any usb camera could be used - they have a listing of supported hardware on the website, etc.

Thanks, in my research I found this one.
FOSCAM F18910W on Amazon.
A bit more expensive, but the latest model from this Foscam company. They get solid reviews across the board, and also does 2 Way Audio According to their website.
Think I am going to go with it.

Hmmm, you know, I have liked the DropCam one since seeing it, and I do admit, I am trying to save some money going with this one.
When you get frustrated with that one and decide to return it come back and look at DropCam... it might be $149, but it works great, has alerts and if you want it to record, sure it has a monthly fee, but at least then you don't have to worry about setting up software/storage.

Can you elaborate on the possible reasons I would get frustrated with this other one?
I have no issue spending the extra money if it pays off in the long run.

The dropcam looks slick and all, but I don't see any tilt or pan on it. So it is clearly going to to have a more limited viewing area. And the cost is $$60 more than the foscam he found, which has like 1000 reviews 4.5 stars.
