"Traveling through France, I sampled all I could in French cuisine. There were many delightful meals, but my favorite was Coq Au Vin. When I returned to the states, I began my quest to recreate that wonderful taste. It takes some extra time to prepare but the result is well worth the wait. Serve with Baby Carrots or Steamed Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes on the side."

Original recipe yields 6 servings
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, crushed garlic, and Italian seasoning. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides, then add the tomatoes and portobello mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Strain off about half of the liquid from the skillet, and pour in the Burgundy wine. Cover, and simmer for another 30 minutes. Remove the chicken, tomatoes and mushrooms to a 8 or 9 inch square baking dish. Cover with sliced onion, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring the liquid remaining in the skillet to the boiling point over medium-low heat. Gently whisk in the heavy cream and Gruyere cheese. Remove from the heat, and stir until smooth. If the sauce is not thick enough, whisk in the cornstarch, and simmer over very low heat until it thickens. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until onions are tender. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

When I decided to try this recipe I already knew that it wasn't " coq au vin" - cream and cheese and tomatoes do not belong in that dish. But it looked interesting enough, so I gave it a go. Sadly, it just doesn't stand up to the classic. I missed the celery, the tomatoes did not add much, and I did not enjoy the combination of the cheese with the chicken. I think I will stick with a more traditional recipe.

I sort of knew all along that this receipe was going to be really good. I got a bit confused which the receipe called for chopped onion and stated to place the sliced onion on the top. Nonetheless, I jump right over that insignificant hurdle and made it to the finish line. I added the reserve liquid that the receipe wanted to split away in the very begining because I don't believe in wasting something so good tasting. I am serving mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. This receipe is a WINNER!
Very, very good! A lot of steps, but well worth it. My house smelled like an expensive French restaurant, and the meal tasted like it. Thank you!

What do you think, young people?
Is Mr. Baker right about you?
If you don't mind, I've got your back on this one. I don't think you're lazy at all.
Distracted, yes. Very.
Video games, reality TV, Facebook. Not bad things, but they're constantly pulling you away from the best things.
But lazy? No, not at all. This year I've had the pleasure of watching some of the hardest-working athletes I've seen in some time. I'm not buying lazy.
Now that I've stuck my neck out to defend you, don't make a liar out of me.
It's early February, and that means the basketball regular season is winding down. To that end, your team is in one of two camps:
•Positioning itself for a deep playoff run.
•Out of playoff contention and close to packing the uniforms away for another year.
If you are among the fortunate ones with postseason dreams, it's pretty easy for you to get motivated to play. Every game counts these days. Heck, every POSSESSION counts. There's a good chance you're focused, alert and prepared to tangle with your opponent.
But let's say you're on a team that's 7-12 right now. It's pretty tough to get out of a warm bus, traipse through the snow and cold, then compete in a game that really doesn't mean anything.
Unless, of course, you take a different view of athletic competition. Instead of seeing each game as a big picture, which can be overwhelming at times, break it down into much more manageable puzzle pieces.
In other words, forget your teammates. It's all about YOU.
Yep, I said it. Your next victory or loss is on YOU. So be as greedy as you need to be on the court.
I know all about the locker room signs — "There is no I in team" and "T.E.A.M., Together Everyone Achieves More."
I won't argue. But I will make the point that every team is made up of INDIVIDUALS, who must do their singular jobs or the entire unit collapses.
I call this the "50-50 rule." In any given game, there are dozens of "50-50" opportunities for you to win. Your job, as an INDIVIDUAL, is to take them.
Here are some examples ...
•When a rebound comes off the board, you and the opponent you are boxing out have a 50-50 chance to get the ball. Get the rebound.
•When a loose ball is on the floor, you and your opponent have a 50-50 chance to dive on the court and grab it. Secure the loose ball.
•If your opponent isolates you in a clear-out, you have a 50-50 chance to stop him from getting to the basket. Don't let him score.
•If your opponent is pressing you and denying the inbounds pass, you have a 50-50 shot to get open. Get the pass.
Stop focusing on the scoreboard — that's "big picture." You, individually, are not competing against the other team anyway.
Instead, start focusing on the player right in front of you. But here's the twist: You are not really battling him either.
You are always competing against YOURSELF. Someone else just happens to be in the way of you getting the rebound ... securing the loose ball ... making the stop ... catching the inbounds pass.
In reality, you are competing against your lack of stamina, against a lack of determination, against a lack of courage and toughness.
You are competing against laziness, as Mr. Baker might say — and distraction.
So what does all of this mean as you hit the floor for your next game?
Well, as always, your team has a 50-50 shot to emerge victorious.
The odds, as you might have guessed, increase dramatically every time you win an individual battle.
And I'd be willing to bet that all of you within reading distance will find a way to overcome perceived laziness and distraction to do your job well.
Your coach believes that — and so do I.
You better not make liars out of us.

FILES - Picture taken 25 January 2006 shows a police officer of Germany's State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) viewing files on a computer in connection with child pornography investigations in the northern German city of Hanover. The Police in Berlin informed 25 December 2007 they were continuing their investigations in the largest case of child pornography to date with more than 12,000 suspects. AFP PHOTO DDP/JOCHEN LUEBKE GERMANY OUT (Photo credit should read JOCHEN LUEBKE/AFP/Getty Images)
It's not quite waterboarding, but one Michigan inmate claims he's been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment: No porn.
Kyle Richards, 21, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court claiming that he is suffering from both "sexual and sensory deprivation," and that he's been given a "poor standard of living" in prison, according to court documents cited by The Detroit News. He's in jail for assaulting a state worker, and was also convicted of assaulting a prison employee.
"Such living conditions have been used as a method of 'psychological warfare' against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of inmates and break the spirit of individuals," Richards wrote in a court filing. He claims that withholding porn violates his Constitutional rights.
State prisons in Michigan actually do allow magazines like Playboy and Penthouse, but Richards is being held at Macomb County Prison, which has sticter rules.
Not even the ACLU is rallying to Richards' defense.
"Prisons have a lot of leeway to regulate the material that comes in and out," Kary Moss, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Michigan, told the Detroit News.

The Times-Tribune
Scandals like those roiling Washington often look more or less nefarious as time and facts unfold. After all, what at first looked like a third-rate burglary turned into Watergate.
I doubt the scandals around Benghazi, the IRS and subpoenas of Associated Press phone records reach Watergate status — but we must await more information and time to know.
But regardless of the eventual political impact, the controversies expose policies we ought to re-think or evaluate for effectiveness and risk.
Take Benghazi: it's always sticky to insert ourselves into cultures so different from our own. I'm not saying we shouldn't. I'm saying we should be cautious about doing it and careful when we do. As the world's only superpower we can't ignore the world's problems but we ought to exercise enough realism and humility to know we can't solve every one of them by ourselves.
Secondly, if those criticizing the administration's handling of security in Libya and its response to the attacks are genuinely concerned, they'll vote to spend more on embassy security. It also turns out some Congressional critics of the changes to "talking points" actually changed quotes in the emails they'd been provided by the administration and then leaked the altered quotes to reporters.
As a reporter, the AP subpoenas worry me. I understand our values sometimes conflict and those in charge of the nation's security must balance the value of the freedom of the press and the public's right to know with protecting lives. I have a professional bias, but I've been uncomfortable for years — preceding but including the current administration — with domestic surveillance after 9/11.
Recall Benjamin Franklin's observation of more than 200 years ago: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
On this issue there is also hypocrisy on both sides. Many who supported the election of Barack Obama did so because they reviled what they saw as the excesses of the Bush-Cheney administration. Now some of them defend the AP subpoenas. Many of the Republicans so outraged now are the very people who a year ago demanded an investigation into the leaks the subpoenas were trying to track down.
I tend to think the Obama supporters were right in 2008 and the Republicans now. But both have altered their positions.
Of the three scandals now consuming Washington, the one most likely to produce public anger and fear is the alleged targeting of applications from 501 (c) (4) tax-exempt organizations by IRS staff in Cincinnati. The public is right to fear IRS prying and power. Republican critics are right to demand answers — and I hope facts.
But when the investigations are complete, when the two parties have offered their partisan judgments, we ought to review the whole question of these euphemistically labeled "social welfare" organizations.
If you're interested in social welfare, donate to your church, to the Salvation Army or to United Way. If instead you're donating to American Crossroads or Emerge America (a Democratic leaning organization which was the only one of these groups whose application was denied), I suspect you're really more interested in politics but especially more interested in hiding the donations.
Whether it's Karl Rove or George Soros, the idea either is spending money to promote the social welfare rather than a political agenda is baloney and we all know it. On top of that, taxpayers are subsidizing those partisan efforts.
We shouldn't. As Republicans used to argue, we probably can't effectively limit political contributions but we ought to demand such groups fully disclose their source.

Teslas full-court-press to kill a North Carolina bill that would ban the California company from selling its pricey electric cars here put Gov. Pat McCrory behind the wheel of the $100,000 super auto at lunchtime Monday.
Tesla lobbyists in recent weeks have met with more than a dozen lawmakers in a bid to block the legislation. They usually bring a Tesla Model S for special effect and a complementary test drive.
But putting McCrory in the cockpit of a Model S on Monday was an unplanned coup.
The lobbyists, from Raleighs Brooks Pierce law firm, took their all-electric road show to John Skvarla, secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Skvarla was so excited about the high-performance machine that he decided to drive it to the Governors Mansion to show McCrory.
John came up knocking on the door, explained McCrory spokesman Rick Martinez.
McCrory hopped in for a ride, with a state trooper behind the wheel. Before long, McCrory and the trooper switched, giving the Governor a chance to guide the sleek vehicle around Raleigh.
Its not clear if the experience swayed McCrorys opinion of the legislation. He has not expressed a position, Martinez said.
The bill would prohibit online car sales by sales people who are not licensed as car dealers. If enacted into law, it would be the most restrictive policy in the nation as regards auto sales. Under Teslas business model, customers buy the car online or by phone, then Tesla Rangers deliver the vehicle to customer.
The bill sailed through the state Senate last month, with the backing of the influential N.C. Automobile Dealers Association. But it came to a skidding halt in the state House, where key Republicans have expressed reservations about the Tesla bill and admiration for the Tesla car.
Tesla CEO and co-founder Elon Musk, who previously founded PayPal, intends to travel to Raleigh to testify before the House Transportation Committee.
Professional race car driver Leilani Munter, a Cornelius resident named by Sports Illustrated as one of the worlds top 10 female racers, has also vowed to testify.
Teslas Model S luxury sports sedan is Motor Trend car of the year for 2013 and recently scored 99 out of 100 points in Consumer Reports. The basic model starts at a list price of $69,900 and boasts a driving range of more than 200 miles between charges.
Jones under fire
The third district GOP House primary has not yet begun, but it is already heating up.
U.S. Rep. Walter Jones of Farmville has come under fire for missing some votes from a man who is considering challenging him, Scott Dacey, the chairman of the Craven County board of commissioners.
Dacey knocked Jones for missing a series of votes during the markup of the National Defense Authorization Act. He also said Jones was the only member of the House Armed Services Committee not present for the final vote on the annual defense funding bill.
Beard Caucus ensues
House Speaker Thom Tillis announced Sunday that he had stopped shaving and didnt intend to start again until the session was over.
The Beard Caucus apparently met on Sunday (surely just a break from the hard task of finalizing the state budget) and came up with the ground rules: Neck trims, face trims, etc. are allowed but a beard is required to be compliant. Goatees, mustaches and big sideburns will not be considered compliant.
The Speaker did not indicate if the beard caucus was bipartisan or how the women of the House felt about the fun and games.

Our annual "Cost of Family Failure Index" continues to receive widespread attention. Most notably it was used by the Department for Education in their evaluation of the cost effectiveness of relationship support services including those provided by Relat...
Relationships Foundation welcomes the social justice strategy presented today by Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and chair of the social justice cabinet committee.
In today's speech on the nature of an Open Society, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg included a widely-trailed swipe at marriage tax allowances, using cheap debating points not worthy of a sixth former.
Relationships Foundation asks: Where is the 'Macavity Committee' on Childhood and Families The Childhood and Families Taskforce was announced by Nick Clegg in June 2010, and was due to report around the end of 2010. It was in part a response to organisations looking for detail on the government pledge to make the UK "the most family friendly country in Europe". It is now nearly Spring and the taskforce has made no public statements. In the only written parliamentary question answered by the Prime Minister during the Parliamentary Recess, he reveals that he will say neither when it has met, which Ministers have attended, whether any specialists have attended, nor when he expects it to report. Michael Trend, the Executive Director of the Relationships Foundation said: "When we and others asked the coalition government shortly after the election to put family at the heart of policy – they told us this taskforce would do that. They have now delayed for months the question of how Britain will become the most family friendly country in Europe. Family stability has a huge impact on children, parents and on wider social issues. Until the Coalition realises that getting family life right delivers the biggest reform in almost every area of public life, it cannot hope to achieve its goals. This should be a national debate, not a discussion behind closed doors. A cross-government approach is needed, but only two departments are involved. Leadership is needed, but no-one knows who is in charge of family policy. This is a Macavity committee. When will the Government put flesh on the bones of their promises for family and children?" Gavin Shuker MP, who tabled the question, said: "The Government are in danger of giving false hope to family and children's organisations up and down the country. This taskforce was announced with great fanfare. But coming up for three months after it was supposed to report, we still hear nothing. Stable families are in all our interests." Click here to read the full press release that was picked up here by the Daily Express. How to make your voice heard At the moment the Coalition government is consulting on many issues that interest us and our supporters. See below for how you can participate in the consultations and give your opinions: We were pleased to see that the Office for National Statistics will collect data specifically about marriage in the wellbeing consultation, as we called for in an earlier press release. However, we were discouraged when one day later it was announced that the marital status of women who become pregnant will no longer be recorded. We are in the process of developing a detailed response. Please click here to give your own response to the consultation. This process will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and will close on 15 April 2011. The Department for Work and Pensions has a public consultation entitled 'Strengthening families, promoting parental responsibility: the future of child maintenance'. They would like to hear from all who are interested in child maintenance issues, particularly welcoming contributions from: parents who live apart, representative organisations for parents who live apart or their children, representatives of the legal profession, organisations that represent families and children, and members of the general public with an interest in child maintenance issues. The end date is 7 April 2011. Reg Bailey, Chief Executive of the Mothers' Union, is carrying out an independent review entitled 'Commercialisation and Sexualisation of Childhood' to address parents' concerns about the pressures on children to grow up too quickly. Reg is very keen to hear from parents on this issue and the questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to complete. The views submitted through this questionnaire (by 18 March) will help develop his recommendations which will be published in May. Click here for details. The Department for Education also wants to hear opinions and evidence about the National Curriculum and start a debate about "what is taught in our schools". By answering the questions in the call for evidence you can give your input to the discussion at this early stage. Click here for the details. The call closes on Thursday 14 April 2011. The Law Commission is asking the public's views on a range of potential options for reforming the law of pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements – contracts made by couples before or during their marriage or civil partnership that are intended to govern their financial arrangements if the relationship ends. Click here to give your opinion. The consultation closes on 11 April 2011.
'Parents Under Pressure' The Relationships Foundation contributed research findings to Sophie Raworth's documentary, 'Parents Under Pressure', shown on BBC2 on the 7th of March. The presenter travelled "across Britain to find out why parents seem to be bringing up a generation of kids who are unhappier, unhealthier and more unruly than they've ever been."

Not quite an Italian meal. Actually Italian American adaption. Sometimes we just had to get creative with those leftovers. But, I have to tell you growing up in an Italian background, there were two no no's with our Dad, mayonnaise on potatoes, and bottled sauce for pasta, they were really non existent. This chili, although spiced up with Italian seasonings as well as some Mexican, is chock full of Italian flavors. The garlic, and tomatoes and peppers are perfect over pasta with any leftovers. We loved it. Of course mom would always make sure dad knew this was all Italian, but its our secret.
You can use a variety of ground meats in your chili, hamburger, turkey or even sausage.
You can use any pasta, we like the shells because the beans fit into the shells. Top with generous amounts of cheese.
Nothing like a great big pot of Italian Style Chili~
1 lb of baby seashell
1 recipe of Italian Style Chili
1lb of shredded mozzarella cheese
grating cheese
red pepper flakes (optional)
Boil pasta till al dente, drain. Scoop plain pasta onto plate, top with Italian Style Chili sprinkle with cheeses and red pepper. Serve with crusty garlic bread, corn bread or bread sticks.

This article says it all:
"A quiet milestone in the movement to privatize government services and activities was marked this week when America's oldest and most well-known national laboratory, Los Alamos, the birthplace of the atomic bomb, was turned over to a new contractor."
The article further adds, "while it's far too early to tell whether management at the lab will improve under the new arrangement, the fact that one of the nation's most important national security facilities can be handed off to a private contractor (albeit, one that takes its marching orders from the Department of Energy) is a significance step forward in the privatization movement. If we can successfully contract out the job of building nuclear weapons and managing the nuclear stockpile, we can certainly contract out many far less critical government functions."

this helps very little with the constant need to urinate. I still get up two to three times a night. It is so much cheaper than Detrol.

even though the Dr said it wouldn't do this: Started with constipation for a few days then had massive lower GI pain with uncontrollable diarreah (in a public place, happened twice in 10 day period.) Dizziness and nausea also a problem. Makes bladder incontinence seems like a preferable situation. man, this was more like taking poison. Middle ages kind of thing.

COOPERSTOWN — Fifteen months after it was launched, a new composting program backed by Otsego County is ready to begin making 80-pound sacks of the decayed organic material to county residents.
The $30,000 pilot program, created by the Otsego County Soil & Water Conservation District, has been compiling food scraps from county facilities and mixing it with yard waste and wood chips, at a pad made with crushed stone and measuring 100 feet by 100 feet alongside the county jail.
The food waste comes from the jail, the 174-bed Otsego Manor and the county's central kitchen.
Jordan Clements, a technician with the Soil and Water Conservation District, said the program is seeking to find additional sources of organic waste that could increase the volume of compost that will be available to the public.
There are plans to approach businesses, schools and towns to see if they wish to contribute materials to the composting effort, he said
Each 80-pound bag, he said, costs $10. Workers will be available to help county residents purchasing the product load it into their vehicles.
Workers seek to contain odors from the waste by keeping it covered with wood chips, Clements said. So far,, there have been no complaints, he added.
"This is a pilot project right now, but we would like to continue it and hope to see it grow," Clements said. He pointed out there are plans to acquire additional scraps and yard waste that could be added to the waste stream, with the goal being to have the proceeds from the sale of the compost pay for all of the overhead to run the program.
"If it can sustain itself, then I think this will be very worthwhile," Clements said.
Earlier this month, he said, four county jail inmates who have been awarded trustee status for good behavior helped fill more than 700 bags with screened compost. The nylon bags were donated by Brewery Ommegang and Butternuts Beer and Ale, Clements said.

Newt Gingrich's Ideas Aren't as Creative or Effective as He Thinks
Newt Gingrich thinks inside-of-the-box on the most important questions.
Years ago, I remember an interview in which former Speaker Newt Gingrich said he read at least one book a week. The trick to doing so for such a busy man?
Always carry what you're reading, he recommended, even when you're not traveling; read in doctors' waiting rooms, in checkout lines—any place where you'd otherwise just be wasting time.
Some time after that—he was out of office by this point—I saw Gingrich in the Tysons Corner (Virginia) mall. He was in the corridor, slowly pacing in a circle ... his nose buried in a book.
[See a slide show of Newt Gingrich's career]
Impressive, I thought; he reads even while (presumably) his wife shops.
The downside to this kind of bibliophilia, for certain personalities, is that it can lead to faddishness. I'm sure you have a friend who fits the bill: Whatever he's reading at a given moment is all he can talk about. And then he moves on.
I've always had the impression that Newt is a lot like that—and this Washington Post report on Gingrich the "ideas factory" gives me no reason to doubt it.
Brimming with ideas is perhaps a superior condition when compared to, say, the calcified simplicity of George F. Will ("Romney's economic platform has 59 planks—56 more than necessary if you have low taxes, free trade and fewer regulatory burdens.") The latter is a time-honored trope for too many conservative pundits: Get government out of the way of the market, ponder no further, and then pat yourself on the back for appreciating "society's complexities."
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
But an overheated motor of idea generation in high office is a recipe for disaster, or at least folly. As Charles Krauthammer observes, Gingrich as president would be "in constant search of the out-of-box experience."
Then again, Gingrich seems to me to be full of lots of ideas that are not as imaginative as he thinks or, alternatively, just plain dumb. Gingrich wants to be able to fire federal judges, partially privatize Social Security and Medicare, and create a flat-tax alternative to the current code. This is comfortably in line with the positions of his GOP rivals.
Then there's Gingrich's now-infamous "child janitor" idea. Kids in the inner-city lack productive role-models, he says; they don't see what it's like for an adult to get up in the morning and go to work. This is itself a debatable proposition, but what bothers me most about it is that it's a solution in search of the wrong problem.
[Read Robert Schlesinger: Conservatives Attack Newt Gingrich With a Vengeance]
When I think of Gingrich's hypothetical poor inner-city kid, I see a bunch of problems, short- and long-term. He's going to a lousy school—and even if he does well there, he faces long odds of a) finishing college and b) doing better than nonpoor kids who didn't finish college. Set aside the schooling question, there's the fact of stratospherically high unemployment rates in the inner city, and the broader, abysmal lack of opportunity for low-skilled men.
All of this is to say that cleaning bathrooms as a teenager is probably not going to change outcomes for this kid.
"Paycheck President" Gingrich really has nothing interesting to say about declining social mobility in America, about how to mitigate the ways in which the global economy and low-skilled immigrants are squeezing working- and middle-class Americans from the top and bottom.
All that time reading in malls and doctors' offices, and he's still well inside-the-box on the most important questions.

The Daily Star
---- — COOPERSTOWN — More than a year after he took a pledge to refuse to support any tax increases, newly re-elected Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, confirmed Tuesday he is on a new path — one that does not include embracing conservative Grover Norquist's push for holding the line on taxes regardless of the consequences.
Gibson, fresh from an Election Day victory over Democrat Julian Schreibman during an election cycle that was overall bad news for Republicans, becomes the latest Republican to abandon the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" touted by Norquist. Gibson had signed the pledge last year.
Asked if his decision shows he has evolved to the point he will no longer assume the position of an inflexible naysayer against higher taxes, Gibson told The Daily Star, "I don't envision signing any pledges now because going forward I have a record that I'm proud to run on that's pro-growth."
Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, is the architect of an anti-tax pledge that gained the support of all but three Republicans elected to Congress two years ago, when the Tea Party was more fashionable than it is now.
The sharp-tongued Norquist, a champion of supply-side economics, once stated: "I'm not in favor of abolishing the government. I just want to shrink it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."
Gibson, speaking to The Daily Star from Washington, said he is proponent of a bipartisan budget proposal that he said promotes "pro-growth policies" and is the "best approach" for upstate New York. He said that plan, proposed by Reps. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., and Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, would cut the deficit while achieving tax reductions for individuals, small businesses and corporations.
In the aftermath of President Barack Obama's re-election, several prominent Republicans in Washington have abandoned the no-tax pledge pushed by Norquist, a guru of the conservative movement.
On Tuesday, Rep. Peter King, R-Long Island, one of the most conservative members of the New York congressional delegation who also abandoned the no-tax pledge, lashed out at Norquist as a "low life," after Norquist accused him of weaseling out of a commitment whose sanctity he equated with the congressman's marital vows.
Among the first to steer clear of the Norquist pledge was Rep. Richard Hanna, R-Barneveld, who until the end of this year will represent the northern portion of Otsego County, territory that as of Jan. 1 will become part of the new 19th Congressional District that Gibson will have.
Hanna said he will not sign onto any pledges. "You swear an oath to the Constitution," he said. "That's enough."
Hanna said the public ought to respect the deliberations of those congressional members now reconsidering their former allegiance to the Norquist pledge.
"I know a lot of people are walking away from it," said Hanna. "They did what they did in the moment. I'm not sure anybody thought about the full ramifications of signing the pledge. They have the right to reflect on the decision and change their mind. They should have every right to say: 'I did it then and it was OK then but it's not OK now."
Michael Long, the chairman of the New York State Conservative Party, said congressmen such as Gibson who abandon their commitment to the pledge against raising taxes risk alienating the supporters who elected them to public office in the first place.
"It's not about Grover Norquist," Long said in a telephone interview. "This is a pledge to the taxpayers of the country. You are not going to solve the problems until you cut and cap the spending in this country, and cap the entitlements. We need to grow ourselves out of the deficit that we're in. You don't do that by taking away more money from people" through higher taxes.
Long said he was not threatening to yank his party's support of congressional representatives who are abandoning their support for the Norquist pledge when they have not yet voted to increase taxes.
"Let's see where we go," he said.

Simone on the songs:
The Frank and Richy songs on this album all seem to have the same things in common, they're also part of this theme of longing. Especially Olivia 101 (about a school crush) and Your Stop (missing your ex, haunting their subway stop). Candy Bar Killer is about sordid goings-on at a teen party. Bunny In A Bunny Suit is also childlike but the lyrics seem to be about the awkwardness of self in adolescence (and adulthood).
Victoria Anne — written for my friend Victoria Williams after hanging out on tour hearing tales of her childhood, specifically how she and her friends used to ride their bikes in the big fluffy cloud behind 'the fog man', a truck that drove through town spraying Malathion to kill the mosquitoes.
Baby Lie Down WIth Me — this went through many changes but the seed came while I was reading Carson McCullers, The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter. Something about the aching feeling of adolescence was the start, but at first it was a sad song. Then one day I was reading another Carson McCullers book, one where she talked about writing, and she was saying something about being like God when you write about characters and choosing the lives that they will lead. Suddenly I thought, 'I want them to be happy', so it became more jaunty and fun, and the people in it are together instead of apart.
Yakiimo in Japanese means stone roasted mountain sweet potato. I went to Japan a year ago with my man. In the little seaside town of Shimoda one night we heard an eerie sound, a strange song, like a call to prayer. It was a mystery. Later, in Kamakura after a show we were walking along with our Japanese hosts when we heard it again. I became very excited and insisted on finding it. Our hosts were amused as it was just the Yakiimo man, a common little truck that sells hot sweet potatoes in the winter. They're everywhere and they all sing the same haunting song, though with subtle variations, some are recorded, some sing it live. I sang it all the way to the train station making everyone laugh. I said I was going to write a song about it. A year later I finally I did. I think it encapsulates the theme of the album in its simplicity and emotion.
A Girl You Never Met — written about an elderly friend of mine who is tired of life and would like to die.
Without A Sound — this is about a breakup. Sort of a literal blow by blow of the final moments.
Train Song was inspired by a children's counting book.
Let The Cold Wind Blow — this is my country song.
St. Louis Blues — my grandma used to sing this on stage. She sang it to me when I was little, in a deep throaty voice. (I don't know if that's also how she sang it on stage or if she was just having fun with me.)

This column is about Armanti Edwards.
Some of you just stopped reading.
Edwards was a folk hero when he played quarterback for Appalachian State. Twice he led the Mountaineers to the FCS national championship and twice he received the Walter Payton Award as the FCSs best player.
Edwards was a competitor and an athlete, and the Carolina Panthers traded their 2011 second-round pick to New England so they could draft Edwards in the third round of 2010.
The pick they traded turned out to be the first of the second round. Many of you blame Edwards for this.
The Patriots invested the pick on Ras-I Dowling, a cornerback out of Virginia. He spent most of his two seasons injured, and when healthy he made little impact.
Edwards, 25, made no impact his first two seasons. Converted to receiver, he didn't catch a pass. Last season he caught five for 121 yards.
If it was tough to get in a game last season, it ought to be tougher in 2013. The Panthers, who lost Louis Murphy, added returner/receiver Ted Ginn Jr. in March and receiver Domenik Hixon in April.
Just bringing in more talent, Edwards says Thursday about Ginn and Hixson. Weve signed receivers every year since Ive been here so this is nothing new. You just have to come in and work hard to improve on the year before. Nothings given to you.
A team typically keeps six receivers. Seven were on the opening day roster last season. Spots are assured for Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, Ginn and Hixon. Competing for the remaining two or three are Edwards, David Gettis, Kealoha Pilares and Joe Adams.
Edwards, 25, again could be odd man in.
Hes just improved so much, says Carolina receivers coach Ricky Proehl.
The former Carolina receiver likes Edwards enough that he stops in a heavy rain, without an umbrella, to talk about him.
He knows how to run routes and get out of his cut, says Proehl. But more importantly he knows how to read a defense and where the holes are, what were trying to accomplish offensively, whats the concept of the route. Hes always been able to catch the ball and hes a great athlete. And now hes figuring out how to play the position, and you see it. Hes had a great camp.
The rain beating down on his black cap, Proehl adds: I think the biggest difference is hes getting opportunities. Hes learned from his mistakes because hes getting the opportunity to make them.
Most receivers toss the ball back to the huddle after a catch. On Thursday Edwards fires the ball long and low.
I guess that just comes naturally from playing that position my whole life, he says. Its just my throwing motion.
How do you stop being a quarterback? Do you send your friends deep?
The only time I throw the ball is after a catch, like you saw, Edwards says.
Do you ever dream about playing quarterback?
I did my first year, I admit it, he says. But I had to try to find out how to be a returner and a receiver.
What was the toughest thing about learning to be a receiver?
Its more than one thing for me, says Edwards. In particular, though, Id say getting off the jam, and learning how to work my hands on defenders.
He says he's become as comfortable playing receiver for the Panthers as he was playing quarterback for the Mountaineers.
This is my third year in the system and fourth year playing receiver so everything is starting to come natural for me, Edwards says.
Until he regularly contributes to the offense, criticism also will be natural. How does he react?
I dont read the papers or look at any of that, he says.
So you dont hear it?
Im on Twitter but I dont follow any of that, Edwards says.
He's heard some criticism from teammates, albeit with humor.
In the final game of the 2012 season Edwards returned a punt 69 yards against New Orleans. It was beautiful until punter Thomas Morstead prevented a touchdown by running Edwards out of bounds.
After the play I wrote on Twitter that Morstead was the fastest punter in NFL history and had run a 4.33 40. To Tweet is to be sarcastic.
A reader angrily responded that Morstead runs a 4.84. One sign you need a new hobby: Your hobby is memorizing the 40 times of punters.
The play was more than five months ago. I ask Edwards, who ran a 4.43 after college and believes hes faster now, if he thinks about it.
I still think about it to this day, he says.
Do teammates talk about it?
More than once, he says.
Late in practice Thursday, Edwards offers something to talk about. He lines up with the first team and first-team receivers Smith and LeFell. (Hixon is on an exercise bike on the side of the field.)
Edwards runs a go route down the left sideline. Cam Newton sees Edwards one-on-one with cornerback Josh Norman and lofts a deep pass. Edwards leaps high over Norman, plucks the ball from the air and hangs on when he hits the ground.
Some restaurants offer a catch of the day.
On Thursday, Edwards offers one.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
2010+ Buick Lacrosse Interior
It always is in park before shutting. You might need an adjuster memory module.
I have commented on my memory seat problems before, which are relatively minor compared to some. These are apart form the 'bass ackward' programming which recalls the memory position upon 'door open' vs 'door close' or 'ignition start'. My dealer says this programming cannot be altered. At this point, I can get in before it moves much .
Again, my config is for easy exit, memory recall and passive entry. When I use the FOB unlock, 100% of the time, the seat goes to back to or very close to my last setting. Sometimes, I check after I'm in and push seat button 1 and it may move a fraction of an inch. This is not too bothersome.
What does bother me is on passive entry, the seat moves to a strange low and far back position. This was on my list when I got the 'clang' issue taken care of last week. I mentioned the PI0187 issue noted here and on another forum . Apparently, this is a fault. They reported on my invoice "document 2542475, ordered seat module". I'll report back when it comes in and is installed.
We seem to be using the seat memory in the same fashion. When using passive entry I sometimes get the position you mention. Other times it actually goes to correct point. At the very least this points to a bug in the computer.
Since getting back, I discovered it is possible to shutdown engine without being in park and not sure why you'd want to unless towing vehicle.
Also, I forget the exact actions at this moment, but I've had it retract more than one time without going forward. (Not sure I may have halted forward motion) This gets the seat back much farther and seems to make exit and entry easier. I have to wonder how it determines the correct stops and if it is possible to program it to retract more normally.
There is some rather "stupid" funtioning and allowance of functioning. If it is impossible to have the computer wait for a weight on seat or ignition switch change of state, I'd think they could at least insert pause into movement forward. Or even change the state of door for going forward. Wait for door closed signal, or even door locked, such as hitting lock control on dash console.
This BS is unaccemptable.
I've seen ads for the new Lincoln and its mention of Nav system with Sync. I noticed that there is a four way switch on steering wheel, maybe even 5 way by pressing after scrolling to the wanted point. And it seems I heard Sync has thousands of voice commands. Certainly GM could have done far better than this.
As to not altering program, I sniff some BS. They also told me that about the headrests and it took me about an hour to figure it out. I suspect they do nothing unless GM tells them to, so as to avoid any liability.
Elsewhere, someone mentioned using a 'delay' action in opening when using passive entry, i.e., pull open part way and then complete the action. This supposedly allows the memory recall to work better. I tried this and it improved it on a few tries. But, it didn't work 100%. This 'delay' issue also was noticed before. It came about sometimes when spouse tries to get in passenger side when I know the car is unlocked and I had passive set for all doors to open. I then changed it to 'driver' only for more secure entry as I had to go into the city a few times. Now, I reconfig'd for all doors so will see if this approach improves passenger side unlock.
I did test drive a Lincoln MKZ standard 6 but didn't like the ride-too harsh on streets with imperfections- compared to LaCrosse. While I tried the Nav, I didn't play around with voice commands. Not too sure if 'thousands of commands' makes it easier-I have trouble remembering the few for the Buick and need to check the manual or the 'help' once in a while. What is needed and within the capabilities of PCs now is true 'voice recognition'.
BTW, what did you do on the seat had rests, reverse them? I finally found a position that works for me with the stock location of the rests, slightly more reclined than on previous cars.
Upon returning to Savannah, we got that horrible smell of paper mill entering vehicle again. Passengers commented about it thinking it was of the type you insinuated only to realize quite quickly it was too chemically smelley. The system is definitely not doing its job of removing odors. Also the quirky part of maintaining temp constant showed up. My son-in-law noticed the sudden blast of cold air when it wondered in that direction. Having to change the setting by as much as 10 degrees to maintain comfort after the vehicle is thoroughly warmed is just wrong.
cooterbfd Posts: 2,770".....Passengers commented about it thinking it was of the type you insinuated only to realize quite quickly it was too chemically smelley."
This, coupled with the engine idling, and the poor FE keep leading me back to the Cat. A malfunctioning cat will give you poor FE, rough running and a bad odor (rotten eggs).
Good thinking but at least partially wrong in this case. We have paper mills in the area and a good reason for having CAF, carbon impregnated. Fortunately, where I live has predominant winds that only once in 30 years have I smelled it.
But on one occasion I think I smelled bad exhaust after cranking up in the parking lot. I drove to the exit with window open and stopping at street I thought I was getting another faint smell of it. The wind was coming from behind me. If it was my exhaust, I've never smelled anything like it before or since.
Tomorrow I will pull glove box to make sure filter is installed and look to see if it appears to be carbon impregnated although ACDelco claims all their filters are to remove odors.
That filter is rather pricey and the NAPA version is close to $50. I found another that is only about $18 including shipping, but details are skimpy. I wrote the company asking if it is carbon impregnated and what its capabilities are. I will post back if it looks like it is a good replacement.
I need all the allergy relief I can find.
Update on found CAF. I talked to company rep today about the capabilities of their replacement filter. They make two types, the better being carbon impregnated and was told the C at the end of the part number indicated it was carbon.
TYC Part # 800149C {#13271191}
Think Rock Auto or some other supplier. $9.09 + shipping and that is far less than half the NAPA branded box, but may be same thing?
How do you get at that filter?
I've read the manual and something about the instructions is not very clear, starting with step 1.
"Remove the end cover located on the side of the instrument panel in the top right corner."
Is the end cover the darker piece that would abutt the door? How do you remove it without damaging?
BTW, another guy on the final line I'd fire. To darned wasted/lazy to put the middle screw in the panel below glovebox.
I got the end cover off. That is the cover in step one. Slide something thin under the cover(between dash end and the cover) There are several clips that hold it in place and you only have to pry it off. I felt for the areas where the clips are, least penetration by pry device. Hope this helps someone not damage theirs.
But now I'm stymied by the instruction to remove the screw affixed to the side of the glove box. The only one I can see is only visible if govebox is opened which is not done until the next step. If that is the one they meant, it will be a bit difficult to get at and requires a torx driver.
The numbers & names on the filter are:
Duns 332766591 06:07:10
Part 13 271 191 16:36
52420930 Rev 06
Hope this helps someone.
BTW, the filter is out of shape, particularly the side panels made of thick paper. The sides and back have self-adhering black foam weather-strip, approximately 1/4" x 1/4".
At some locations the foam is very compressed and others it shows no sign of compression. Additionally there is no foam along the front edge.
Also the dirt pattern on the filter is irregular and seems to match my thoughts of where air was getting past seal. I will have to check again one in cabinet to see if foam on front is needed.
Also it appears that all air goes through the filter, no by-pass. I can see the outside air entry and where the recirculate air would come from. both above filter. Below the filter is the fan. And it appears to be carbon impregnated and of material ~ 1/16" thick and dense, making up most of the weight of the filter for sure.
OK, here is the rest of it. Change wording of "remove the screw affixed to the side of the glove box."
Remove screws (2) affixed at the sides of the glove box, below it.
There is one on each end of the assembly. Then remove the screws (3) inside at the top.
There are also clips holding it so you will need to pop them loose by pulling.
I had also removed the panel under dash, 2 screws and some clips. It may not be necessary to pull this, but I learned the engineers and CAD people made a mistake. They forgot to account for the thickness of glove box assembly at the right hand screw and you will see a wider gap at that end.
It is relatively easy once you understand the intent of the instruction.
I hope someone has better luck crossing those numbers. Most of them showed up in foreign countries and for vehicles such as Opel. Mann showed it had filters for 2011 Lacrosse, but then none of them showed part numbers. Also some of the numbers crossed through their system, showing only they were GM.
Personally, I think I will try another brand when it comes time to be my pocket. After laying a carpenter square to the sides of this one, it showed a lot of deformation and likely is leaking past the crooked sides. I will get dealer to replace and then go from there. That is I'm going to again complain about outside odors. Darned if I did not forget to check the functioning of recirculate door while I had it apart.
Doing quite a bit of research on CAF's, you definitely want a carbon impregnated. And by manufacturer claims, some not only remove small particles and odors, they remove some chemicals from the air such as NO2.
Afterthought on that foam weather-stripping used to seal filter in place.
I noticed that light easily came through that foam when held to the light. It since awoke the opinion that it is not closed cell.
So in addition to any air bypassing it because of the deformation, it is likely that air is passing through the foam itself and the less compressed, the more will bypass.
There have been a couple of complaints about trunk space. I will say that they did not make the best use of space and the hinge system eats lots of space. Pop the cover on the right side and you'll see what I mean. There is an electric panel in there too. On a trip, my wife and daughter shopped, knowing the vehicle was full. I had to get creative on the return trip. Using the space around the spare and space in that left side I added a lot, including a full case of wine, 12 bottles and clothing. Each bottle wore heavy socks for insulation. And you still have to leave room for that hinge arm to retract when closing.
The opposite side probably has as much wasted space.
Another ding on my car. Since day one I've had issues with setting the lumbar support. It has made me wish the system was like in the Olds Aurora where there were two air controlled supports. It seems there is something wrong as I find it almost impossible to achieve a comfort point. Enough that I put it on my hit list for the next time in. Maybe I could get someone to explain the workings of it or even show me a picture of it so that I understand the mechanics of it, or so I thought.
Yesterday I was on the road for five hours and tried adjusting it several times only to find that a few minutes later it was uncomfortable again. It turns out the mechanism does not stay in the set position but slowly retracts back into the seat. I'd already had the feeling that it was moving in both directions, sometimes, when pushing a single side of the 4 way switch.
So, one more thing wrong on what is a long list. I'm beginning to think that to keep the number of complaining customers down, as they catch defective parts they save them and put them all on one vehicle.
After having vehicle at shop 10 days, much of it was written off as they could not duplicate. Well the stink entering vehicle is obviously related to bad CAF design although it does not make sense if I run in recirculate all the time. Guess what, the loaner does it too. They wrote the falling shock boots off as no concern, the loaner has same problem, only 3800 miles.
As to seat memory and lumbar support they said no duplication, but it went to wrong position just after I turned in keys on loaner. And the lumbar support needed airing 5 times in the less than 10 miles home. I called GM Cussing service and they acted like they were concerned. He went into explaining how it was supposed to work, the memory, and had it all wrong as to what the memory buttons do compared to the auto memory of last position. I had to correct him several times shouting into the phone to get his attention and stop him. He excused himself and came back in a minute and congratulated me on knowing how well it was supposed to work. Most customers don't he said. He kicked it to the next level and they listened to some of my concern and said they'd monitor the situation while my vehicle was at dealer.
Thanks to those who posted new part number and info at GM tech link. When they said my car was ready in about 3 hours after dropping it off yesterday, I took a copy of that info with me.
When I got there, they rotated the tires, that was supposed to be done last visit with the balance. They reprogrammed the seat memory. I was suspicious and shoved that info to them. They acknowledged having found that but said there was an update to that which counter-manded the part about not reprogramming and to change. They said that mine according to RPO codes, has side blindzone alert, needed an update. I suspect that will be the case for all in the near future. The only differences would be that it remembers mirror positioning I'd think which might have to do with the aiming of the alert system. So the only difference in the program should be that it does not verify the correctness of that system.
Result, so far good. It introduced a 3 second delay and I only had about 1/2 second before.
The lumbar support, they could not duplicate. That is very disappointing that it is not fixed because if on a long drive and it won't stay, I'd compare that to being on the way to a wedding that you are part of and a tire blows. You are also in a dead zone for phone service and no other traffic. It sucks!
BTW, the GM rep that promised to call me between 1100 and 1300. I have no idea what time zone he was in because I'm still waiting.
Update. They finally called after a few days and then waited to hear from dealer. I wrote elsewhere about the miserable ride, about 250 miles round trip where I adjusted that lumbar at least a hundred times trying to keep it inflated. My back is still tender and started spasming yesterday.
I made trip to southside of city yesterday. Lumbar did not act up at all, but regardless I planned on stopping at dealer for an update. After about a half hour in Home Depot I started back and the AC system was nuts. Set at 75 degrees it was fine when I shut down. Now it was blowing hot air. Hotter than outside air. Fan was only running at a low speed. Bumping down to 73, the fan sped to a middle speed. Dropping to 69 it ran fast, but still only hot air. By the time I got to dealer I was soaking wet with sweat. I got service writer and showed without shutting off in case it effected.
Note I had previously complained to them about wild temp swings that needed as much as a 10 degree adjustment after the vehicle was well stabilized. And it was always no duplication of complaint.
Dropping in without an appointment, they had no loaners left, so I sat with it. The diagnosis is a problem with the expansion valve, for which he quoted symptoms and said it suddenly fixed itself, but are ordering new one and appointment for Tuesday. I had already set my mind that it was something in the automatic control system and after leaving and giving more thought I believe they misdiagnosed. That is he was just getting into it with pressure checking when the problem went away. The pressures he read could be indicative of an expansion valve, but I think he forgot about my input.
There are the fan speeds I mentioned above. If the system was trying to work on the interior, it should have went to high fan speed without lowering the temp setting to lo which is around 60 degrees. It was 90 degrees outside. And even at that lo setting the air coming from register was only mildly cool feeling, like maybe outside air with nothing blended. Any AC input?
But it does not stop there.
Previous complaint about the difficulty to latch the steering column showed itself to the lady who was writing yesterday. She could not get it to latch. The manager walked up about that time and he could not either. New column on order.
It was written they had replaced the battery again, this time for leaking. A few days later I checked oil and that yellowish fluffy stuff that shows up at battery corrosion was all over under hood. When I drove to Charleston, I noted on the far end that some of it came out and coated the top of car. A taste showed it to be mildly acid.
And on that trip there, something with bluetooth started showing up. Did reprogramming of seat on last visit cause? Or maybe something with pushing the OnStar button on May 31 and telling them I want a new car?
Anyway, in the past the incoming call would be auto answered. If I don't push the on screen answer, the phone itself picks up and then I have to fumble for the phone. And in the past if I left vehicle all I had to do was open phone and the call transferred from car to phone. Now it will hang up.
I will check to see if I got a pushed update to phone and try repairing with vehicle. If that don't fix, add another complaint.
One other possibility, although not intuitively directly connected, I have been using iPod lately on USB port. iPod is loaded with HQ music and I've learned how to convert HQ and lossless music to Apple lossless. It displays nicely on screen, but is weak in fast-forwarding. Unlike the iPod, it does not fast-forward by moving finger along the play bar on screen. It has to be done by switches and will not jump forward or backward. You just have to wait for it to scroll to the desired point. Also I added a carpeted trunk mat and definitely effects sound. I'll try plugging those speaker holes into trunk next.
Rattle in exhaust is getting louder when it happens. I could hear it when I remotely started from across the parking lot.
And with that lumbar issue, I hope to convince them to do something when the car goes in. Change the seat if necessary, that is the whole dang thing.
All for now because I need to put new wheels, picked up yesterday, on my pressure washer and blast some of grime away.
bwia Boston Posts: 1,163I don't mean to be rude or insensitive but with so many complaints I must assume GM sold you a lemon or you are an impossible customer to please. If the car is indeed a lemon why didn't you return it under the 60-days no questions asked money back guarantee and buy something more to your liking?
With every purchase we have to make comprises especially with mass produced goods. In other words, we have to take the good with the bad so long as the product is not defective or fraudulently marketed as being something other than what it is. If the CXS is not right for you then you should cut your losses by dumping it and buy something else rather than be miserable with complaints ad nauseam.
A) That 60 day thing had ended by the time it was delivered.
Things are showing up over time.
C) Dealer can't always duplicate.
D) If this was a computer or a refrigerator I had bought, it would have been returned and money back demanded.
If you've read my posts of the last couple of days, things are still showing up or showing up in such a way they are verifiable by the dealer.
GM really needs to step up quality and fixes or this will be the last GM anything I ever own.
Two bad batteries in a seven month old car.
Defective oil filter from factory.
Cabin air filters will not work as advertised because of the manufacturing process.
Three trips alone for the seat memory issue.
Three so far for the AC acting up and taking it in for the parts they ordered will be the fourth trip. And I'm quite sure they misdiagnosed the reason so that will be at least five trips.
Three so far for the lumbar issue. Dang thing won't act up for them.
Three so far for the exhaust rattle upon start. Again it has not done it for them. But the last few times for me it was getting louder.
Twice so far on the boots falling down on rear shocks. Waiting on GM response.
I'm going to push this darned head rest issue again. It may be as I wrote months ago to others that are complaining about them, "It is because of NHTSA." I see the same issue in nearly all new cars. I watched as a lady drove off in her new BMW. She had that seat inclined so far that the airbag and seat belt would be nearly useless in a really bad crash. In that position the G forces would not slam her heart against the chest but instead pull it toward her abdomen, almost certainly ripping arteries loose. So if you like that position of being reclined, think it over. And it is not like NHTSA would not have data. There are lots of cases where the front passenger was riding/resting in that position and their outcome was far worse than driver.
I have absolutely no idea when GM will get the cabin air filters fixed. I have no idea when they will fix XM reception issues.
The list is way too long for any vehicle. And I'm going to add some more over in exterior.

Q:Specimen Ceanothus or another large bushy shrub....
Good afternoon, When I was first looking for a Ceanothus to replace the one we have in our front garden, I looked on your website, but you only had small ones. Our once lovely Ceanothus has been pruned out of all recognition again this year, as I planted it a bit too near our boundary when it was a baby. I know it may come back, but it is getting ridiculous as every time it grows back it has to be cut back again severely and then ooks a mess for most of the year. Have you got a nice, tall, bushy Ceanothus to replace it? I love my Ceanothus but perhaps if you don't have a big one, do you have another large, flowering shrub as an alternative? Hope you can help Regards MargaretAsked on 12/5/2009 by D DRAKETT
1 answer
A:Hello Margaret, it is rare to find larger sized Ceanothus as they are usually quite short-lived and don't normally live longer than 6 - 8 years. We do have a selection of larger shrubs on our site like Hamamelis, Hydrangeas, Magnolias, Acer, Cornus, Cotinus, Philadelphus, Syringa and Viburnum, so you may find something of interest. They will be listed in this section. http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/ I hope this helps. Helen Plant DoctorAnswered on 12/8/2009 by Crocus Helpdesk

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — ACME — Jeff Brooks drowned himself in alcohol after he returned home from a tour in Iraq.
Now, he's drowning himself in work. And he's confronting his demons head on.
Brooks, 38, is developing a microbrewery on U.S. 131 North in Acme Township, an effort to show other veterans they can overcome war-related post traumatic stress disorder.
"I've been in the deepest, darkest places anywhere," said Brooks, a Gaylord native and Benzie Central High School graduate. "And I want the guys coming back to have someone to look to and say, 'Man, I can do this'."
Brooks said he disabled about 300 improvised explosive devices during his time in Iraq in 2003-04, plus thousands more pounds of ordnance. "We just quit counting at some point," Brooks said.
That experience led to a not-so-happy homecoming. He enjoyed being with family and friends, but he somehow he missed the edge, the inherent danger of disarming bombs nearly every day. Everyday life seemed a bit dull.
In some ways, it was like the latter parts of the film "The Hurt Locker," which also features a bomb technician who struggles to adapt to home life.
"With all of the stuff that I did in Iraq and all the stuff I saw, when I came home, it was really tough," Brooks said. "I had PTSD as bad as anybody could. It was dismal. I was beat down really hard. It's like going from 300 miles an hour to three when you get back here.
"For the next year and a half, I was drunk. Out of 30 days, I was drunk for 30 of them."
It took some honest, tough talk from a friends at local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2780 for Brooks to take a look in the mirror.
"We adopted his unit when he first went over," said Jack Pickard, a former VFW state commander. "We sent them things two or three times a month. So when they came back, we hooked up a good friendship. He had some issues. Finally, one time we were very, very blunt. 'Hey, you have to get some help. You have problems you can't handle on your own.'"
Pickard should know. He served in Vietnam and struggled with some of the same experiences when he came home. And he knew how tough it is to confront those problems.
"It was just a push from someone who knows that you can deny it all you want," said Pickard, 63, a disabled veteran. "He was one of the normal, stubborn ones. He didn't want to admit something could be wrong. He was too proud."
Pickard convinced Brooks to seek help from the Veterans Administration, where he was diagnosed with PTSD. He emerged from counseling free of alcohol dependence.
"I'll still have a beer," Brooks said. "But it's not for the same reason as before."
Four days, three explosions
In one four-day stretch in Iraq three bombs detonated beneath him, Brooks said.
"The first time we got blown up was probably the most scary, because we were completely unprotected," Brooks said. "We weren't wearing bomb suits. We didn't have any special gear on."
A group of tankers waved them down and in the process set off an IED that knocked the soldiers off the tank and tossed Brooks into the air. The blast left Brooks his partner temporarily deaf and with concussions.
Both were patched up and sent back out the next day, Brooks said.
"We got a call the next morning, and they had to write it down — the coordinates, where it was, everything," he said. "Because we still couldn't hear."
They sent a remote-controlled robot in to disarm the next IED target. Brooks was seated behind a monitor that's powered by a car battery, viewing the robot's movement when it went off.
"Because we couldn't hear, I watched the screen go from white to black," Brooks said. "I got as small as I could behind (the monitor) and all the blast frag went blowing by and the monitor slammed into me."
He was left bleeding and with another concussion. His group detonated three more IEDs later that day.
The next day was uneventful. The fourth was another matter. He was told there was an IED in a crater and approached wearing an 88-pound Kevlar bomb suit.
"I remember about 15 seconds later coming to. And here come my guys, hooking up a winch to the back of my suit to pull me out of there. I'm like, 'I'm still alive.' They thought for sure I was dead."
Brewing up help
Brooks dreamed up microbrewery Bravo Zulu to offer area military veterans, police officers and fire fighters a place to hang out, have a cold beer and relieve stress without going to the extremes he reached after his tour. He also plans to donate part of his profits to area veterans groups.
"He's going to do fantastic," said real estate agent Holly Hack, who helped him find the location. "I loved why he wants to do this. Giving back and showing vets you can come back and start a business. From Day One, I was amazed at the amount of work he did to get this business started. I know he'll do well. It's a really cool idea that he's doing. His heart is there. It's not just a love of beer; it's a love of people, which is awesome."
He hopes to have the brewery open by late April, and targeted the weekend of the 19th and 20th for his ambitious construction plan that exclusively uses local contractors.
"Over the period of seven years, working with the VA counselors and some private psychiatrists, they got me back on the right path, where I'm seeing straight and able to live with these demons that anybody with PTSD has. With this brewery, I want guys who are coming back who are in the same boat I was in to go, 'Hey, that idiot did it. I don't need to be another statistic where I'm working at Wal-Mart collecting carts ... or a suicide statistic.
"I don't care if you ever buy a beer if you walk in there and you need help."
The location — which used to be house a Family Video and a Dollar General — is 4,500-square feet and will feature a seven-barrel brewing system visible over a low wall behind the main bar.
"I think our first responders in the area don't get enough credit for what they do," Brooks said. "They're the only ones who show up to help us out in some of our worst situations ever, whether it be a fire or a car accident. I want this to be a place where they can come and relax — anyone can come a relax — but I want this to be dedicated to the first responders, military folks and veterans. All those people who show up when we're having a bad day."
"It can't fail," he said. "Because if it does, those families won't get help. I won't let that happen."
