The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert explores political trends in a purple state and beyond.
By the numbers: A look at Paul Ryan and the 'veepstakes'
When Paul Ryan drew some mention four years ago as a vice presidential prospect, he chalked it up to "the checklist."
"I check a series of boxes," he said at the time. "Young guy. Economics guy. From a swing state. Catholic."
Today the talk is more serious. Ryan checks the same political boxes for the GOP ticket. But now he's a much bigger national figure, almost single-handedly defining his party's domestic agenda with the controversial budgets he persuaded House Republicans to pass in 2011 and 2012.
That makes the House budget chair from Janesville both enticing and risky as a "veep" pick for presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who campaigned for five days in Wisconsin this spring with Ryan at his side. Thanks to those budgets, Ryan is now a national hero to the right and villain to the left, a towering role for a member of the House who isn't a party leader.
There's no way to quantify Ryan's chances of being tapped as Romney's running mate.
But here are some numbers to think about when it comes to Ryan and the "veepstakes:"
2: Number of sitting House members who have been selected for the vice presidential spot since 1948 by either party. It doesn't happen much. Democrat Geraldine Ferraro was chosen by Walter Mondale in 1984 and Republican Bill Miller was chosen by Barry Goldwater in 1964. Both came from the state of New York. Both tickets lost and neither VP pick ever held elected office again.
14: Number of sitting Senators nominated for vice president since 1948. The Senate has been a far more common place to go for a running mate than the House or any other office including governor. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rob Portman of Ohio are generally seen as the leading Senate prospects for VP. For some reason, senators have been tapped for running mate far more often by Democrats than Republicans in recent decades. Only two of the past eight GOP vice presidential candidates came straight from the Senate, compared to seven of the past eight Democratic picks.
42: Ryan's age. He would be the third-youngest vice presidential selection since World War Two, after Richard Nixon (39) in 1952 and Dan Quayle (41) in 1988. Republicans may figure Ryan can help cut into President's Obama's edge with younger voters, but may also wonder whether he looks "too young" for the part.
10: Number of electoral votes the GOP would capture if the party carried Ryan's home state. Since Wisconsin has voted Democratic for president six times in a row, this would be a huge pick-up for Republicans in a close election. But it's far from clear how much of a boost Ryan's presence on the ticket would provide in Wisconsin. Political science research suggests most vice-presidential candidates do little or nothing to boost the performance of their ticket in their home states. "To the extent there's a home-state effect, it's pretty small," says UW-Milwaukee prof. Tom Holbrook. In fact, scholars debate whether running mates have any effect at all on presidential elections. In a 2001 paper called "Requiem for a Lightweight," David Romero of the University of Texas argued they have none. "Running mates haven't decided an election in more than a half-century," GOP strategist Karl Rove wrote in the Wall Street Journal Thursday. It's pretty clear that recent presidential nominees haven't placed much importance on home-state effects. Since 1984, vice presidential candidates have hailed from Delaware, Alaska, North Carolina, Wyoming, Connecticut, Tennessee, New York, Indiana and Texas. Only Tennessee was a competitive presidential state in the year the choice of running mate was made.
55: Estimated number of TV appearances Ryan has made on cable, network television and Wisconsin broadcast affiliates in the first four months of 2012. One selling point for Ryan in the veepstakes is his ability to communicate on TV and his comfort and experience with the national media. No one else being talked about for running mate has spent as much time in recent years debating the issues on television. According to a tally by Roll Call, Ryan's seven appearances on Sunday news shows this year rank him second in Congress behind only Ron Paul, who has been running for president. Ryan has appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC and other channels.
17: Appearances by Ryan on Fox News Channel alone since Jan. 1, including three times with Greta Van Susteren and twice with Sean Hannity. Ryan is such a frequent and popular guest on the network that Fox News Sunday presented him with a birthday cake on the air during a Jan. 29 interview ("I don't eat sweets," Ryan said). Ryan's popularity with Fox goes hand in hand with his influence in the conservative movement. It is another asset he could bring to the GOP ticket, especially if the Romney campaign feels the need to ramp up enthusiasm on the right, where Romney's support was soft in the primaries.
8: Appearances by Ryan this year on CNBC, underscoring his influence on fiscal issues and popularity with economic conservatives, But while he's mainly an "economics guy," Ryan also maintains ties to social conservatives. He has appeared this year on the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Catholic network EWTN to make moral arguments for his budget and defend it from Catholic critics who say it would hurt the poor and vulnerable. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops urged lawmakers this month to "resist for moral and human reasons" cuts to hunger and nutrition programs in the Ryan budget. More than 80 professors and administrators at Georgetown University signed a letter to Ryan before his appearance at the Catholic school Thursday, accusing him of wrongly citing Catholic teaching to argue for his budget. Ryan defended himself from those critics in his Georgetown speech, saying that "as a Catholic in public life … I do not believe that the preferential option for the poor means a preferential option for big government."
76: Number of people arrested at the Cannon House Office Building Tuesday protesting the Ryan budget cuts to Medicaid, including five people from Wisconsin. The protests were organized by ADAPT, a group that advocates for the disabled and led protests of last year's Ryan budget as well. Its call for deep cuts in Medicaid and a total overhaul of Medicare for people currently under the age of 55 put the Ryan budget at the center of a searing debate between the parties over the size and role of government and the social safety net. It also makes Ryan a huge lightning rod. Having endorsed the Ryan budget, Romney can choose to tap its author and chief advocate as his running mate. But he would also embracing all its political risks.
$5.1 million: Cash on hand in Ryan's campaign fund, more than any other member of the House of Representatives, including the Speaker. The chart below from the Center for Responsive Politics shows Ryan's fundraising by election cycle (the green bars) compared to the average House member (the red line), with Ryan's contributions spiking dramatically in the past two cycles:
Ryan's war chest is a testament to his local, state and national support base. His campaign says 60% of contributors are from Wisconsin and 40% are from outside the state. Ryan has more than 31,000 different donors since he entered the House, his campaign says.
"My volume of supporters is just growing tremendously," Ryan said in an interview last year, suggesting that growth has coincided with his becoming a political target for Democrats. "People like to see leadership. Then when they see you getting shot at, they like you even more. Each quarter it grows."
5%: Ryan's probability of being selected for the GOP ticket as of Thursday, as set by the online trading exchange, Intrade, a prediction market that allows people to place bets on the outcome of non-sporting events. Five others ranked ahead of him: Senators Rubio and Portman and governors Chris Christie of New Jersey, Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Bob McDonnell of Virginia.

Why does the BBC have to report American news about Paul Ryan?:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17859114Hide replies
Uhhhh, could it because 90% of the American media is pathetic and the vast majority of those are in the tank for Obummer?
"Little Geoff," I presume you mean the other 10% is "Fox opinion News."
Geoff, there isn't a sliver of daylight between Ryan and O'bummer. They're both tools of the 1%. Both supported the "free" trade agreements with Korea, Panama, and South Korea. Both protect the real welfare queens, Wall Street.
You've hit the nail on the head.
There is an awful lot to be disappointed about in regard to Obama. In so many ways, he has simply been carrying on the utterly corrupt policies of G. Dubya.
Still, if anyone believes that Romney or anyone in the GOP would put things right, they're dreaming. In fact, we'd undoubtedly see a return to the horror of the policies of Bush II.
It is a tragic flaw of the American system of politics. We're stuck in a 2 party system and we are forced to choose between the lesser of the 2 evils both of whom have the same basic flawed political philosophy. In a situation like that, we're stuck with Obama for now, because he is the lesser evil of the 2.
Ryan's assessment of himself"
"My volume of supporters is just growing tremendously," Ryan said in an interview last year, suggesting that growth has coincided with his becoming a political target for Democrats. "People like to see leadership. Then when they see you getting shot at, they like you even more. Each quarter it grows."
Ryan's ego trip is even larger than his idol, Ayn Rand's. His bid is more about him than the American middle class' predicament and concerns regarding entitlements, the economy, health care, etc.Hide replies
Are you serious? No, the egomaniacs are those who sit idly by as our nation sinks into a cesspool of debt, and then pat themselves on the back for spouting meaningless phrases meant to incite class warfare. It takes courage to lead, knowing that there are plenty who will tear you down while not coming up with any substantive proposals of their own.
The debt is because Eisenhower was the last fiscal conservative. We've been lowering MARGINAL tax rates on the 1% since the 60's. NOTHING has "trickled down."
Top Marginal Tax rates 1916 - 2011
Billionaire Nick Hanauer: "Raise Taxes on Rich to Reward True Job Creators: "
"......When businesspeople take credit for creating jobs, it is like squirrels taking credit for creating evolution. In fact, it's the other way around.
It is unquestionably true that without entrepreneurs and investors, you can't have a dynamic and growing capitalist economy. But it's equally true that without consumers, you can't have entrepreneurs and investors. And the more we have happy customers with lots of disposable income, the better our businesses will do.
That's why our current policies are so upside down. When the American middle class defends a tax system in which the lion's share of benefits accrues to the richest, all in the name of job creation, all that happens is that the rich get richer.
And that's what has been happening in the U.S. for the last 30 years. ...."
I agree lizziee the Repubs have been doing this for over a decade, it's good to see you have noticed.
Essentially, the Catholic priests and economists said Ryan's economic ideas come from Christian hating "philosopher" Ayn Rand.
I don't think Ryan hates Christians, but he has been duped by an economic cult that like Soviet communism, long proved wrong...
I think he is great choice. Then maybe we can get a congressman that actually cares about Wisconsin and bring some federal dollars back home. He is so in love with his national career, he record for this state is lousey. He raises more money for himself and the national party, he is always too busy to help out his own state. Another Republican missionary, votes for war and deficit spending when Bush is in office but then goes in the other direction when he other party has a President in office. What a phoney !!!
Lets see, under Ryans budget plan a working person under 55 would lose medicare. He would lose the tax exemption on his mortgage. He would lose SS until he's 73. He would lose his child tax credit. He would lose the tax credits given to charity, or the church. Now all this would be lost to pay down the defecit, uh no, to give bigger tax cuts to the rich, you know the ones that are really hurting lol. Only the people of WI would be stupid enough to spawn a person as flat out ugly of a human being as Paul Ryan, the man has a boyish face, with horns coming out of his forehead. He is the face of evil. Don't forget suckers, you need to give up everything you worked for you whole life because the rich just aren't rich enough. Ryan is the face of greed that has killed this country.Hide replies
Paul Ryan on Christian hating radical anti-government philosopher who ended up on the government dole, Ayn Rand, who the Catholic priests say Ryan takes his ideas from:
Ryan: "I think Ayn Rand would be commenting on that we need more than ever." "It's that kind of thinking, that kind of writing that is sorely needed right now."
Ryan: "I give out Atlas Shrugged [Rand's book containing, among other things, rape fantasies] as Christmas presents, and I make all my interns read it."
Look it up. You can't make this stuff up....
Not all that young. Doesn't understand economics. In deep doo doo with the Catholic church. From swing state. One out of four ain't too bad, Mr. Ryan.Hide replies
Ron Paul supporters can't wait to vote for a guy who parties with lobbyists and FRENCH wine at $350 bottle.
Yeah, wasn't he partying with those GSA idiots too? Yeah people like Ryan are what's wrong with the government. I'm guessing Limousine Liberals like Princess Pel-lousy blow $350 on appetizers every week. Care to list real money wasters in Gov't today? You can start with Obummer and his family using Air Force One to separately jet to Hawaii, costing us serfs $100K.
Geoff, Ryan is a fiscal conservative in the same way that Hugh Hefner is a virgin.
We've been lowering taxes on the 1% since the Eisenhower administrations. NOTHING has "trickled down."
I'll give him credit for taking a stance on something with his budget proposal. Proposing cuts is never the easy path to travel.
It's common knowledge that SS and Medicare are NOT sustainable long term. If you stop assuming it is then maybe you can listen to possible solutions.Hide replies
The debt is because Eisenhower was the last fiscal conservative. I bought all of Reagan's "trickle-down." Sykes and Ryan refuse to discuss the facts because they get paid by the 1%

1% took all their wealth and bought both parties and the media.
Also, the debt we owe ourselves is very manageable, espeically in a deflationary spiral. The DEBT that matters is our TRADE deficit. We have to STOP importing from countries who use child and slave labor. That's pretty much everyone except Europe and Japan.
Yeah, Paul Ryan, the economics whiz kid from Wisconsin. Voted for two unfunded wars. Voted for the unfunded Medicare Part D. Still believes that supply-side economics works, despite the preponderance of evidence otherwise. And, actually believes you can build an economy without a middle class. Fraud.Hide replies
So what would you propose? We go farther down the Socialist spiral? Or should we retool our economy to embrace Communism? What country is as successful as the USA that has tried those failed economic plans? Whiners like you can always relocate to some other nation that already has those worthless economies and see how "fair" it is. The rest of us who believe capitalism is the best possible (although not perfect) economic plan will stay here and prosper once Obummer is gone.
Yeah, those are the two choices -- Paul Ryan or Communism. What planet are you from?
After a decade of domestic neglect is it really necessary to be a card carrying socialist or a communist to suggest rebuilding our roads and bridges at home, and fix the rest of the mess right-wingers left our country in while off hunting imaginary WMDs? 'Bout time to get serious here, Geoff.
Geoff, all the welfare queens/commies are on Wall Street. They "socialize" risk and loss onto the taxpayers. See the repeal of Glass-Steagall (Banking Act of 1933) in 1999. That enabled Wall Street to gamble with taxpayer insured deposits, which they were more than happy to do. Heads, they won and kept the profits with low tax rates. Tales they lost and then they just shifted all the losses onto the taxpayers.
Paul Ryan--a legend in his own mind
Yes, a Ryan, Nit-wit Romney ticket. The final blow to the middle class. The sad part is half of the working people in WI will vote for them, and in turn cause their own demise, and when their working for 12 bucks a hour with no benefits, and no chance to ever retire, they will somehow blame Bill Clinton. WI you can't fix stupid.Hide replies
yep, on page one of the Donkey playbook....blame someone else!!
Here comes the attacks from the Democrats...

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a disorder passed down through families in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped.
See also:
Elliptocytosis - hereditary
Elliptocytosis affects about 1 in every 2,500 people of northern European heritage. It is more common in people of African and Mediterranean descent. You are more likely to develop this condition if someone in your family has had it.
An examination by your health care provider may occasionally show an enlarged spleen
The following tests may help diagnose the condition:
There is no treatment needed for the disorder unless severe anemia or anemia symptoms occur. Surgery to remove the spleen may decrease the rate of red blood cell damage.
Most persons with hereditary elliptocytosis have no problems, and are unaware of their condition.
Elliptocytosis is frequently harmless. In mild cases, fewer than 15% of red blood cells are elliptical-shaped. However, some people may have crises in which the red blood cells rupture, especially if they have a viral infection. Persons with this disease can develop anemia
, jaundice, and gallstones
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have jaundice that doesn't go away or symptoms of anemia or gallstones.
Genetic counseling may be appropriate for persons with a family history of this disease who wish to become parents.

The Daily Star
---- — Grace Hubbard Reed
ONEONTA — Grace Hubbard Reed, 95, died peacefully following a brief illness on June 3, 2013.
She was born Jan. 3, 1918, in Brooklyn, the daughter of James Swift Hubbard and Katharine Aikman Hubbard.
She attended Erasmus High and Pratt Institute and on Aug. 9, 1942, married Cameron "Bill" Reed at the Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church.
Grace worked as a secretary for Standard Oil of New Jersey at Rockefeller Center and later in life for the Nassau Council Boy Scouts of America. Mostly, she worked at being a great Mom and homemaker. After her children, her proudest accomplishment was her membership in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as a descendent of Hezekiah Hubbard (Lexington and Concord). Originally, she was a member of the Col. Aaron Ogden chapter, Garden City, later transferring to the Oneonta chapter DAR.
Grace, a 50-plus year member of the Garden City Community Church (UCC) was very active in church and community activities. She was definitely a "city " girl with a great love of the ocean but after moving to St. James Manor in 2001, fell in love with Otsego County's rolling hills and lakes especially enjoying her Saturday trips for a whiskey sour and lobster roll at the Blue Mingo or the Neptune Diner. Her "guilty" pleasure was an ice cream soda from the Golden Guernsey.
Survivors include her daughter, Priscilla Reed Welch of Goodyear Lake; her sister-in-law, Mary M. Hubbard of Sun City Center, Fla.; a niece, Susan Hubbard Corbett of Florida; and a nephew, Richard (Rose) Hubbard of Illinois.
She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Bill (1991) and her son, Walter (2000) as well as her sons-in-law, Michael C. Welch (1983) and Michael J. Breen (2007).
A memorial service will be held in the Milford Center Cemetery at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 1, with the Rev. Enid Carter of St. James Manor, presiding.
In lieu of flowers, if desired, memorial donations may be made to Oneonta Chapter, NSDAR, P.O. Box 103, West Oneonta, NY 13861 or Catskill Area Hospice & Palliative Care, 1 Birchwood Dr., Oneonta, NY 13820.
Condolences to the family may be made online by visiting www.grummonsfuneralhome.com.

After more than 104 million doses of H1N1 vaccine have been given, safety data show no "signals" linking serious adverse events, such as Guilliain-Barré Syndrome, to the vaccine. The report also concludes that the number and type of reports of post-vaccine events are similar to those from seasonal influenza vaccine, and no serious side effects were identified in pregnant women after vaccination. This is according to a report released by the H1N1 Vaccine Safety Risk Assessment Working Group, which was established by the National Vaccine Advisory Committee to conduct independent, rapid reviews of available safety monitoring data for the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines.
The report confirms the H1N1 vaccine is safe, even for infants and pregnant women. The subcommittee will continue to monitor safety data on a monthly basis. This is the ninth report released by the group, and none of which have identified any major safety problems.
Read the Report, including all the conclusions from all data collection systems.

Aggregate mortality attributed to all extreme weather events globally has declined by more than 90% since the 1920s, in spite of a four-fold rise in population and much more complete reporting of such events. The aggregate mortality rate declined by 98%, largely due to decreased mortality in three main areas:
- Deaths and death rates from droughts, which were responsible for approximately 60% of cumulative deaths due to extreme weather events from 1900–2010, are more than 99.9% lower than in the 1920s.
- Deaths and death rates for floods, responsible for over 30% of cumulative extreme weather deaths, have declined by over 98% since the 1930s.
- Deaths and death rates for storms (i.e. hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, typhoons), responsible for around 7% of extreme weather deaths from 1900–2008, declined by more than 55% since the 1970s.

Anybody know any real good paint shops near pensacola fl???

Best Picks of 2014 Have Nothing to Do with Football as M&M'S® Asks Fans to Choose Peanut, Peanut Butter or Pretzel as their Favorite Flavor
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The M&M'S® brand announced today that it is drafting off the hype of football news by giving its fans their own draft and asking them to select their favorite M&M'S® flavor. From May 7 – May 19, fans can visit the M&M'S® Racing Facebook page and share which M&M'S® flavor they would draft – M&M'S® Peanut, M&M'S® Peanut Butter, or M&M'S® Pretzel. The flavor with the top picks by May 19 will serve as the featured paint scheme on the No. 18 M&M'S® Toyota during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™ race in Pocono, Pa, on June 8.
Since no draft is complete without guidance from a great coach, M&M'S® has enlisted the help of legendary football coach and championship stock car team owner Joe Gibbs to rally fans around the three flavors. Gibbs is founder of Joe Gibbs Racing which fields the No. 18 M&M'S® Toyota piloted by M&M'S® Racing driver Kyle Busch. While Gibbs is an expert in players and picks, this draft posed some tasty challenges.
"I've participated in many memorable drafts during my coaching career, but this ranks as one of the toughest picks I've ever had to make," said Gibbs. "I love M&M'S® Peanut, M&M'S® Peanut Butter, and M&M'S® Pretzel and the coach in me can't wait to see who the fans select as number one."
M&M'S® Racing driver Kyle Busch is also getting in on the fun, but for Busch, drafting his favorite flavor is as tough as making the call between two or four tires.
"From the irresistible combination of salty and sweet flavors of M&M'S® Pretzel, to America's Favorite Nut and M&M'S® Peanut, or the real peanut butter goodness of M&M'S® Peanut Butter, this is a tough decision for me," explained Busch. "While I can't wait to see which flavor is picked, the fact that M&M'S® is giving fans the chance to select the paint scheme we run in Pocono makes them the real winners in this draft."
While the M&M'S® brand is continuing the nuttiness of the 2014 "Year of Peanut" campaign with this fan engagement, the M&M'S® Racing NASCAR® Draft gives race fans coast-to-coast a voice in the team by letting their passion for M&M'S® Peanut, Peanut Butter and Pretzel decide which flavor adorns the No. 18 M&M'S® Toyota at Pocono.
"NASCAR® has some of the most passionate fans in sports and they love feeling like they are part of the M&M'S® Racing team," said Seth Klugherz, Senior Director, M&M'S® Chocolate Candies. "M&M'S® Peanut, Peanut Butter and Pretzel are all fan favorites, but the M&M'S® Racing NASCAR Draft will let one flavor take the bragging rights of being NASCAR royalty."
To draft your favorite M&M'S® flavor, visit the M&M'S ® Racing Facebook page from May 7 – May 19 and cast your vote.

MERCED — The three deans at UC Merced are highly paid, but their role is vital for the growth of their respective schools and the overall advancement of the university, an administrator said.
The three combined make $701,000 a year, not including benefits.
Tom Peterson, provost and executive vice chancellor at UC Merced, said the university tries to offer competitive salaries to staff, faculty and administrators -- including deans -- to get the best talent.
"This is the only rational way to attract and retain the brightest people to the University of California, Merced," he said, who was traveling in the United Kingdom at the time of the interview.
He said their positions are important, especially in a time when the young campus is growing.
UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland will be talking about that subject with the UC Board of Regents today. She will discuss space limitations on campus and the options that are available so that UC Merced can reach its goal of 10,000 students by 2020.
Peterson said a dean's primary responsibility is the academic curriculum within his disciplinary area.
But nowadays, a dean's duties go far beyond curriculum, he said. To support the faculty in fulfilling their obligation to educate students, deans often are involved in other activities, such as lobbying for resources and prompting their faculty's research.
The highest-paid dean is Dan Hirleman, who earns $256,000 a year for overseeing the School of Engineering.
Juan Meza, dean of the School of Natural Sciences, makes $245,000 a year, and Mark Aldenderfer, dean of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, brings home $200,000 annually.
Point people
They are the primary contact people in the area and throughout the broader community, as well as alumni and those interested in supporting the educational mission of their programs, Peterson said.
They spend time trying to identify sources of support for their schools, he said.
Meza, the newest dean on campus, said he helps define the mission of his school and how best to achieve it. "We work with faculty to try to decide where we are going in the future," he said.
He's an advocate for the programs within his school and is the point person when dealing with other divisions at the university, Meza said.
"There's lots of examples," he said. "We are under some budget constraints in the state of California and resources are limited.
"The dean's role is to put that best case forward to why we should have more resources."
In his school alone, he wants to hire seven to nine new faculty members by July 1.
Deans are required to do a lot of traveling to help promote the faculty and their research, with the ultimate goal of bringing in more funding, Meza said.
There are several challenges that deans face at UC Merced. One of them is the lack of space, Meza said. "We are running up against our limitations right now," he said.
Another challenge is getting the word out about the university.
"It takes a while for a professional network to know that there's a new university," he said.
Despite the challenges, Meza remains optimistic the campus will continue to flourish.
"We are a very young and very vibrant school," he said. "We have a lot of energy that I think it's going to translate into a lot of success in the future."

Sara from PI, SC– Verified Buyer
I really do love this bag. I like the fact that it is "laminated", so you get the cute look of fabric but the ease of wiping down to rid of germs, spills, etc. Very durable bag and a good size: big enough to hold essentials, but not too bulky. I felt like the overall colors and design is even cuter in person than comes across on the web. Very good buy; I highly recommend.
I LOVE this bag!!!

Margaret River is a charming township located roughly 270 km south of Perth, directly in the heart of one of West Australia's leading wine production regions. Margaret River is also a mere 9 km from the coastline, and as such, provides international visitors with the opportunity to relax and unwind in close proximity to world class beaches. It is consequently not surprising that the area attracts over 500,000 tourists every year, and as such offers activities and accommodation to suit all budgets.
Holiday makers visiting the Margaret River area will find themselves overwhelmed by the magnitude of activities on offer. Travellers can choose to visit wineries, breweries, chocolate factories, ice-cream factories, lighthouses, art galleries, oil and soap factories, orchards, natural caves and wildlife parks; or they can simply head to one of the great beaches for some tanning, swimming, surfing or whale watching.
Visiting the wineries in and around Margaret River is a 'must' even for travellers who may not be that interested in wine, as the region produces some of the most amazing wines that Australia has to offer. There is consequently a wine to suit almost all tastes, as Margaret River plays host to over 200 vineyards and 90 wineries, which produce multi-award winning Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Shiraz. Numerous vineyards and wineries also offer boutique self-contained accommodation, which allows holiday makers to really experience the Australian wilderness and wines at their leisure, and furthermore quashes the pesky question of who will be driving home.
Travellers, who would rather hit the water during their Western Australia getaway than spend their time exploring wineries, have a plethora of options in and around Margaret River, as there are numerous great surf breaks in the region. The most prominent of these breaks is Surfers Point, which plays host to world class surfing events such as The Margaret River Pro and The Margaret River Classic. The added advantage to hitting the waves at Surfers Point is that it is located roughly 10 km from most holiday accommodation in the Margaret River township.
Holiday makers who are not interested in surfing need not despair, as Margaret River is also in close proximity to beaches such as Hamelin Bay and Meelup Beach. Hamelin Bay is well known, as the area gives travellers the opportunity to get up close and personal with the large stingrays that call the bay home. Snorkelers may also be lucky enough to spot evidence of three historical shipwrecks, which occurred in the bay in during the early 20th century. Meelup beach in comparison is great for swimming and picnicking.
Whale watching is another extremely popular winter holiday activity in the Margaret River area, with the whale season generally spanning from June to September. Numerous whale watching tours are available, although the majority of these leave from either Augusta or Busselton, which are located 50 km south and 50 km north of Margaret River respectively. Holiday makers can also head to Cape Leewin Lighthouse, which is located roughly 55 km south of Margaret River, and attempt to spot a Humpback or Southern Right Whale from the coast. Travellers who fall in love with the whales can easily book accommodation in either Augusta or Busselton, in order to spend more time watching these magnificent creatures in their natural environment.
Margaret River provides travellers with next to perfect weather most of the year, although the winter months can tend to be quite damp. International holiday makers therefore generally frequent the region during the summer months, which span from December to February. Visitors can however, have the holiday of a lifetime in Margaret River regardless of when they choose to visit, as the region offers great all weather activities, amazing sights and fantastic boutique accommodation year round.
Numerous airlines such as Qantas, British Airways and Emirates offer flights to Perth departing from both London City and Heathrow airports. Travellers can then either rent a car, or utilize public transport in order to cover the remaining 270km between themselves and their luxury Margaret River holiday accommodation. Tourists visiting the Margaret River region will however, soon find that leaving this beautiful holiday destination at the end of their trip is nowhere near as easy as arriving.

Hey guys,
Now that I've graduated form college and have a fulltime job, I finally have the income to purchase a quality sound system. I listen to about 40% music and 60 % movies and video games. Currently, I have a Yamaha 5890 powering two RTi6s, Two FXi5s, a CSi5, and a SVS NSD PB-10. I know many people think the marriage of the Yammie and the RTis is a bright couple, but after some careful tuning, I have the sound that I have dreamed of with feautres that I need.
Now, down to business. I'm trying to decide between the RTi10 or the RTi8. I know this must be a question asked on this site every other day, but the wisdom and experience in this forum would be very appreciated.
After I get one of the two tower speakers mentioned above, I plan to move my RTi6s back to side surrounds and the FXi6s to back surround. My Yammie has 140Watts per channel, but I'm not sure it can handle the all the speakers I have in addition to two RTi8s. I want to get the best sound I can outta the RTi8s. If a dedicated amplifier will considerably improve the sound, then I'll go for it, but then this raises yet another question. If I decide to go with a dedicated amplifier, why don't I just upgrade to the RTi10s which could really take advantage of a nice power amp.
I really enjoy two channel and surround listening when it come to music. It seems to me that the RTi10s would be better for movies and games because of the extra boom from the added bass, but wouldn't that also help during two channel listening w/o a sub?
I've heard both speakers in stores. They both sound amazing, yet different from each other. I think would enjoy the RTi8s better for surround music, but the RTi10s for stereo. What it comes down to, if I need to get a separate amp, should I get the 10s?

Perioperative fluid therapy in people is known to have a direct bearing on outcome measures, including length of hospitalization,
morbidity, and mortality.1-4 Errors in fluid management (usually fluid excess, or overload) in human surgical candidates have been identified as the
most common cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality.1-4 Studies conducted in people concluded that a gain of 5% to 10% body weight from fluid therapy is associated with worsening
organ function in critically ill ICU patients and worse postoperative outcomes after routine surgery, with no evidence of
beneficial effects on renal function.4 These conclusions have important implications for current fluid replacement procedures and are likely to be equally important
in animals.
Traditional approach
This traditional "recipe-based" approach to perioperative fluid therapy is outdated. Although arguably founded on a concern
for maintaining physiologic functions and replacing insensible fluid losses, it does not consider hemoglobin concentration,
the duration of surgery, fluid loss from fasting or into traumatized tissues or surgical wounds, and, most important, anesthetic-imposed
problems associated with monitoring and treating intravascular volume deficits.

Originally, it looked as though Franklin High was going to walk off the Mansfield football field with a win and the inside track to the Hockomock League title.
However, football is a game of two halves and the Hornets gave their fans something to cheer for in the second half of the contest and escaped with a 28-21 win and the league championship Saturday night. Mansfield will play Duxbury in the playoffs.
"This was a good one. I told them two years ago that the Super Bowl would come back," said Hornet head caoch oach Mike Redding. "This was great, one of the best second half performances I've ever seen in 23 years of coaching and we lost our starting center, our starting tackle and were missing (Robert) Rapoza for the whole game and found a way to win in the second half."
Following a scoreless first half Mansfield jumped on the board first with a Kevin Makie 6-yard touchdown run. Mansfield was denied on the two-point conversion and held a 6-0 lead.
The lead that would not last all that long.Franklin running back Kyle Finamore got things going for the Panthers toting the ball on the next four plays moving the ball into Mansfield territory.
After a holding penalty that pushed the Panthers further away from the end zone, quarterback Nick Zucco connected with Brandon Eccher for a 40-yard touchdown pass and a one-point Franklin lead.
The two teams traded possessions each going three and out. Mansfield would pick up a first down the next time they had the ball, but that's all they could muster.
In fact, outside the Makie score they couldn't do much of anything, while their counterpart was moving the ball all over the field.
Prior to the first half concluding, Zucco (9-16, 106 yards and two touchdowns) would hit Robert Dellorco for a 24-yard score. The original PAT was blocked, but a Mansfield penalty gave the Panthers another opportunity that they did not squander it and went into the locker rooms up 14-6.
As if things were bad enough for the Hornets in the first half it could have been worse if not for the fast thinking of Hornet punter William Palanza.
Mansfield snapped the ball over Palanza's head rolling inside the 10-yard line and would have given the Panthers another chance for a quick score. The senior punter picked the ball up and avoided a tackle and was able to avoid disaster, getting the punt away.
"That was an unbelievable play by a senior captain who's poised enough to get it off," Redding said. "It was a 35-yad difference in terms of field position."
While Franklin controlled the first half, the second half belonged to the Hornets. Mansfield scored on its first possession of the half grabbing the momentum and never letting go.
The Hornets went 75 yards in 10 plays with a good mixture of pass and run plays; the final play was a 13-yard touchdown scamper from Chris Buchanan. Kyle Wisnieski hit Brendan Hill for the two-point conversion knotting the contest at 14.
Franklin couldn't do a thing and quickly turned the ball back over to the home team, who in turn would once again march down the field, this time 72 yards with Makie sweeping right on a fourth and goal from the one for his second touchdown.
Franklin was able to move the ball with ease on its next possession to what looked like a game tying drive; however Mansfield's Mike Barressi picked Zucco off on the 16-yard line and thwarted a potential tie.
The Hornets put together yet another long, substantial drive once again culminating in a Makie touchdown. The senior back notched his third rushing touchdown on the afternoon, this time from three-yards out allowing the hometown fans to breathe a sigh of relief.
Makie rushed the ball for 113 yards in the win, 76 coming in the decisive second half.
"Kevin really stepped it up with Rapoza out and he was only at 90-percent playing with a high ankle sprain," the Mansfield coach said.
Franklin accounted for the final score with a late game drive as Finamore broke a tackle and rumble into the end-zone from 15-yards out.
Mansfield was able to grab the Hock title with an all around team performance in the second half. In the first half, the Panthers were able to pounce on the Hornets for 195 yards of total offense, the Hornets held them to 77 yards in the second half.
"We set up some base plays in the second half to get our run game going, which got our play-action going, but the biggest thing was avoiding penalties in the second half, no turnovers and very few offensive penalties," said Redding. "We found a way to hang around all year and I'm not sure that we should be winning the title, but it's ours and we'll do the best that we can to represent the league in the playoffs."

Snowman Couple with Snowballs on a Sled Austrian Egg Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
This friendly snowman duo is getting ready for a snowball fight with their friends by loading up their sled full of snowballs so that they don't have to make any during the onslaught of snow flying. Their happy faces and colorful attire such as a yellow sweater, green pom pom hat, red coat, yellow scarf and blue earflap hat really make this ornament stand out on your Christmas tree. An actual chicken egg, this ornament is hand-painted in Austria by an artist who spares no detail with the glittery snow embellishments and wintery snow-covered pine tree motif carried around the back. A remarkably decorative keepsake!
Dimensions: 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Material: Blown Eggshell

Thread: He's Back: Rev. Jeremiah Wright slams Fox News, Hannity, O'Reilly, and calls Elizabeth Hasselbeck of "The View," a 'Dizzy Broad'
He's Back: Rev. Jeremiah Wright slams Fox News, Hannity, O'Reilly, and calls Elizabeth Hasselbeck of "The View," a 'Dizzy Broad'
Rev. Jeremiah Wright returned to the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ on Sunday, reports Manya Brachear of the Chicago Tribune. Will the networks notice that Wright suggested ABC and CNN were "the gates of Hell"? They might enjoy Wright suggesting Sean Hannity and Bill OReilly were Satan, but he also listed the Chicago newspapers and Time magazine. He also mocked Elizabeth Hasselbeck as factually challenged even as he insisted that December 7 was the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima instead of Pearl Harbor Day.
"Jesus said upon this rock I will build--listen to the promise--my church," he said. "And the gates of Hell--listen to the promise--the gates of Hell--neither ABC nor CNN--the gates of Hell--neither Hannity nor O'Reilly--the gates of Hell--neither Time, Time magazine, Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune ... the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Nothing will be impossible with God."The U.S. bombed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, so Wright was wrong about the day, and of course, wrong about the number of years as well. But Wright was on a roll:
At the 11 a.m. service, Wright belittled "baby milk believers," who, he said, suffer a delusion that politics don't belong in the pulpit. He pointed out that "Luke the evangelist, not Wright the radical" lambasted the oppressive policies of the Roman government in the Gospel story that recounts Jesus' life.
"Any preacher who dares to point out the simple ugly facts found in every field imaginable is demonized as volatile, controversial, incendiary, inflammatory, anti-American and radical," Wright said, taking time out to note the thousands of Japanese civilians who died 67 years to the day when American warplane dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. (Actually, Dec. 7 marks the day when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.)
He implied that his previous use of derogatory language to describe Italians in a past sermon referred to the Roman oppression Luke condemned.But if modern-day Italians can be mocked for what the Roman Empire did, does he think it's okay to say derogatory things about African-Americans over what the Africans did 2,000 years ago? That's a very odd line of argument to justify ethnic attacks on Italians and their "garlic noses." Factually speaking, Augustus Caesar ruled Rome when Jesus was born, but not when he died. Tiberius was the emperor at that time.
"Emperor Augustus in Rome--that's in Italy, dizzy blond on the View," Wright said, presumably referring to conservative television personality Elisabeth Hasselback, who has railed about Wright on the ABC daytime talk show.
Wright also thanked an employee at Fox News -- "a saint in Caesar's household" -- who advised him to cancel his October speaking engagements because the network had an advance copy of his schedule.
I would expect the media elite will try to ignore Wright as non-news since Barack Obama left the church. But where is the media in asking which church Obama will pick in Washington?
We knew it was coming. As soon as Obama got elected all his nutjob/criminal friends were free to come back into the sunlight."If everyone is thinking alike, then someone isn't thinking." -Gen. George S. Patton
Ah, so much for the 'historical significance' of electing the first African American president. So much for a near Democratic 'sweep' of the government...
That's not enough, America. Now you have to go back in time and change history as well.
The anti-american radicals never get enough. Even absolute political power wouldn't be enough.
Let this teach us a lesson. The concept of loyalty to one's country, duty, and honor is hateful to them.
They will only be satisfied with the destruction of this country, so that everyone in it is as miserable, hateful, and angry as they are.
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly. - Lovelace

I'm surprised it took the racist preacher this long to come back.

Editor's Note: This is a new feature where we get to know bloggers around Tampa Bay. You don't have to be a Patch blogger to be featured. E-mail blogger suggestions to email@example.com if you would like to be featured.
In this edition, we find out about a Palm Harbor resident who came here from across the pond.
Blog: Valerie Crowe on Palm Harbor Patch
Town: Palm Harbor
Started: More years ago than I care to remember
Why did you start your blog?
I answered a 'Patch' question about 'My favorite place for breakfast' in Palm Harbor.
Where are you originally from and what made you want to move to Palm Harbor?
I am a 'Brit' from London, but my family is in the US and the weather in the UK is rubbish!
What is your favorite topic to write about?
Life events. People are way too serious about themselves and what they do. There is an amusing side to most situations, and life is too short to be perpetually dismal. A glass should be half full, not half empty.
What do you do when you're not blogging?
I am retired, but still have little free time. Sit on a couple of boards, sing in a choir, be an active grandmother, spend a lot of time at the local YMCA, and think of ways to rennovate my home.
When do you find time to write?
Late evenings, almost always.
What have you learned from your own blog?
That I am not as amusing as I think I am...else more people would read it.

"Easy, tasty, customizable, you can do ahead of time...I could go on... If you want to mix it up, substitute a little sweet potato for some of the carrots. It is very tasty! Instead of 1/2 cup butter, you can use 2 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons vegetable or seed oil. Instead of 2 cups milk, you can use 1 cup milk and 1 cup chicken stock."

Original recipe yields 8 servings
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole.
- Place carrots into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Melt 1/3 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Whisk flour into onion mixture until smooth; cook, stirring constantly, until flour mixture is a paste-like consistency and light brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium; gradually stream milk into flour mixture until thick and bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk Cheddar cheese, about 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring until cheese melts each time before adding more, forming a smooth sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in mustard powder, white pepper, celery seed, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over carrots and toss to coat; transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
- Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter and bread crumbs together in a bowl until well coated; sprinkle over carrot mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and topping is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

I loved this. I didn't follow the recipe exactly, and used carrots and a sweet potato, but the method is great! Definitely a keeper...
This was soooo good and also tasted great as a leftover. It is the perfect fall dish and we might even make this to share for Thanksgiving this year.
First I'll say what I did differently..... I used Velveeta (8 oz) as the cheese. I was out of celery seed. Also, I have never liked recipes that say 2 potatoes or 4 carrots. I prefer defined measurements like a half cup or 6 oz or whatever. That being said, this recipe was very good. I went to the farmer's market and bought about 7 large carrots (just over 2 pounds - they were LARGE carrots) and I think it could have used more. So my only recommendation for this recipe - don't skimp on the carrots, the recipe makes a lot of sauce.Next time I will try at least 3 or maybe 4 pounds of carrots.

CORBIN — Neighbors, Aug. 14, 2010
Three local young women are on their way to experience the Big Apple.
Amid all the sightseeing, the main objective will be to bring home the crown. Bailee O'Kuma (Pre-Teen Ky. All American), Madison O'Kuma (Jr. Miss Kentucky All-American) and Courtney Norvell (Miss Ky. All American) are among several contestants that will be representing Kentucky at the 2010 All American Girl and Boy Pageant which will be held August 14-15.
Celebrating its 25th year, the All American Pageant will host representatives from across America all vying for over $60,000 in gifts, prizes, crowns and savings bonds. While there, they will compete in modeling (both runway and live television commercial), talent, interview and evening wear.
Some previous contestants in this pageant have gone on to secure national television commercials, starred in Broadway shows as well as in television shows and in major motion films.
As an added attraction this year, ABC will be filming a live documentary. The national director, Tricia Hoffman, has been a casting agent for over 30 years. She is also a noted author and has helped launch numerous careers in the entertainment industry.
Madison and Bailee are the twin daughters of Jonathan and Janie O'Kuma of Gray. Courtney is the daughter of Patrick & Leah Norvell of Corbin.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar Restaurant Review: A San Diego institution since the 1980s, Croce's combines contemporary American fare with live blues and jazz. Opened as a tribute to Ingrid Croce's late husband, singer-songwriter Jim Croce, the restaurant has walls covered in photographs and memorabilia from his career. Set amidst the downtown madness that is the Gaslamp Quarter, a dinner at Croce's combines food and fun. We like to start by traveling the globe with the fried firecracker shrimp, light and not at all greasy; the decadent baked Brie with honey-roasted garlic and Grand Marnier-berry compote; and sesame-seared ahi sashimi with teriyaki beurre blanc. Although the warm spinach salad with poached apples, figs and grapes is a bit sweet for our taste, we do enjoy the classic Caesar with Grana Padano. The filet mignon has an interesting passion fruit demi-glace and rich Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, while the New Zealand pan-seared bluenose sea bass is served with oven-roasted potatoes, pancetta, butter-braised Brussels sprouts and mushroom vinaigrette. Desserts that excel are the fondant au chocolate (warm chocolate cake with fresh raspberries) and vanilla lavender honey crème brûlée with almond lavender-laced cookie.

If you will endulge me.
All the fuss and feathers about how the media made a swamp-dwelling xenophobe into the Most Dangerous Man in the World for a few days fired a circuit chip in my brain.
The following is an editorial I wrote for The Salt Lake Tribune of August 6, 2004. It was kind of controversial around town for a few hours. Even some folks in the newsroom thought I'd stepped over the line. But it remains one of my favorite pieces.
I think it speaks for itself. With a couple of links dropped in for background.
Go Away
Police have determined that a young woman reported missing a couple of weeks ago was murdered. They say her husband did it. Even the suspect's family says he has confessed. He is in jail. Hundreds of volunteers who were scouring the foothills and putting up posters have been thanked and sent home. Police are left to dig through the local landfill.
Incessant national media attention no longer serves any purpose.
Unlike the Elizabeth Smart case, there is no reason to hope that Lori Hacking will be spotted at a truck stop in North Platte, or a trailer park in Yakima, no point in spreading the all-points bulletin to everyone with a television set and a cell phone.
So, with all due respect and thanks, we have a simple message to the national media paratroops who have parachuted into Salt Lake City for another juicy story on a missing white woman:
Go away.
This is a local story, involving the pain of local people, investigated and prosecuted by local officials and thoroughly covered by the local media. Further reporting of this story for any other audience, beyond short updates, is a waste of videotape, ink and, most of all, time.
When this story is all over it might, in the hands of a perceptive writer, make a good magazine article. But it really appears no different than the sad tales of hundreds of other women who, each year, are killed by those they trusted the most.
For Fox News, MSNBC and, most disappointing of all, CNN -- the Network of Record -- to be spending so much time hashing, rehashing and, most of all, speculating on the gory details of this single case is an excellent example of what's wrong with the mass media today.
Every minute spent by Larry King or Fox News on Lori Hacking or Laci Peterson is a minute they don't spend on health care, education, environmental quality, national security, the economy or other real issues that should be the center of public attention, especially in an election year.
A nation full of people who know more about Scott Peterson's defense strategy than they do about Donald Rumsfeld's is not a nation that shows much ability to govern itself.
Local folks have a right and a duty to look over the shoulder of their criminal justice system as it does its job. Reporters from other media outlets can and should be available to backstop the locals whenever there is reason to believe that those closest to the story were seduced into joining either a lynch mob or a whitewash.
But for so much of the talent, time and resources of our worldwide media to be spent on a story of strictly local importance displays no courage and little imagination. Instead, it is a symptom of a perverse laziness on the part of both the media and its audience.
So it's time for the circus to pack up and leave town. Don't worry. If anything happens, we'll let you know.

Imagine an app for your Smartphone that would not allow you to text while driving. Would you use it? Would you insist your kids use it?
According to one survey, 97 percent of teens say texting while driving is dangerous — but 43 percent admit to doing so. A Virginia research group says those who send text messages while driving are 23 times more likely to be in a crash.
Seventy-five percent of teens say texting and driving is "common" among their friends.
The National Safety Council estimates at least 28 percent of all traffic crashes - or at least 1.6 million crashes each year - are caused by drivers using cell phones and texting.
Friday, AT&T began offering its new Discover Smartphone with DriveMode, an app that "when enabled and the vehicle is moving 25 mph, automatically sends a customizable auto-reply message to incoming texts, letting your friends know you're behind the wheel and will reply when it's safe."
Says AT&T: "Our simple message is vital: when it comes to texting and driving, it can wait."
According to the AT&T site,
- Once downloaded and set-up, the app will turn on automatically once your vehicle starts moving 25 miles per hour. Then, anyone who tries to text or email will receive an auto-reply message telling them you're currently driving and will get back to them soon.
- When the app is turned on, all calls will automatically be sent to voicemail; however, the user can identify five numbers that can always get through, and 911 calls are always allowed.
- When setting up the app, the user has the option to select one navigation and one music app that can be accessed while DriveMode is turned on.
- While enabled, depending on your device, the app also stops incoming sounds for texts, emails and voice calls – so you're less tempted to grab your phone.
- The app automatically turns off once the vehicle is going less than 25 miles per hour for five minutes and then the user can view the calls, messages and e-mails as they normally would.
Question is, will people use it? Will people turn on the app, and drive more safely? Or is the addiction to texting while in the car so strong - especially for teens - that smartphone users will never enable the application?

It was a monthly stop.
Without hesitation I would ask my mom to take me in to Wingate's Meat Market in Orange every single time we passed by there. And about once a month, she would relent.
It was not because at six years old, I loved their cuts of meat so much but because the owner Nick Wingate had an amazing taxidermy collection featuring mainly giant fish he had caught in the Gulf of Mexico.
There was a hammerhead shark, tiger shark, grouper and a huge alligator fish along with a big buck that had been killed in Orange County. All of this blew my mind and allowed me to visualize things I wanted to do in the future.
There was also a furniture store located in West Orange that had a mountain lion in a full body mount.
This cat was mounted on a pole in the center and was featured in a jumping position. I had never seen a full body cougar mount and for a kid who was already into these great cats it became more fuel for my imagination.
Living in Orange we would go to Port Arthur or Beaumont about once every two weeks.
I remember visiting the K-Mart in off Twin City in Port Arthur and while driving by seeing a full body standing brown bear and polar bear in a car dealership across the street.
Being a persistent kiddo, I begged my mom to take me in and was stunned at how big those bears were. I remember the gentlemen inside getting a kick out of a kid who wanted to come in just to see the bears.
Over the years I have been in numerous Bass Pro Shops and other stores where taxidermy is featured and see kids with the same sort of look I had checking out the animals.
