Populism: Rising force in Democratic Party
The schism between Tea Party "true believers" and "establishment" Republicans is well-known. Certainly here in Delaware, it has driven so-called Chateau Country Republicans to the ranks of the independents, or even into the arms of the Dems.
But the Democratic Party - which undoubtedly has benefited from that Republican schism - itself is seeing a rising divide, between populist "progressives" and "establishment" Democrats aligned with Wall Street. Hillary Rodham Clinton is clearly the latter, and given the nature of the Democratic electorate in early caucuses and primaries, this could capsize her anticipated 2016 Presidential bid.
But, that's well into the future. I think this analysis in The NEW REPUBLIC captures the current situation, and also attempts to define the term, "populist"...

Speaking of "true believers" in the Tea Party... A Rasmussen poll has Ted Cruz listed as #3 most influential world leader (#1 is the Pope and #2 is the President of U.S.)
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 9:53am
It is predictable actually. With the demise of the Republican Party, there is no one to carry the banner of the Chamber-of-Commerce types, and those supporting huge money on Wall Street... They find the Democrat most to their liking.. With Roth gone, Carper takes his place. With Castle gone, Carney takes his place. In fact, one could even make the argument that Coons is now taking the place of the junior Carper. Somewhat progressive, somewhat middle-of-the-road.
That shift will naturally take place in Delaware, and has been the argument offered by some as the prime reason for ridding Delaware of all Republicans... The public's interests remain the same, i.e., constituents don't really change their views, but at least, now the opposing interests can still talk to each other, compromise, and at least get something done.
That scenario, compared to the one we see on the national scale, where the Republicans even say NO to their own Republican policies, that is, if they are first offered by a Democrat....
At least with one party in Delaware, instead of inaction, we have action.
Delaware could serve as a valuable lesson for the nation as a whole. IF you want good government, first you have to get rid of Republicans... So true. So True.
So yes, it is inevitable that like chromosomes in a cell, mitosis will occur and each group will coagulate at opposite poles....
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 9:57am
If Cruz did actually nail the coffin shut on the Tea Party as is the consensus right now, he deserves the number 3 spot....
Someone had to kill the Tea Party... Hats off to Cruz.
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 10:35am
Delaware is definitely to be watched as the "establishment" Democrats take on the "true believer Progressives"... we (who follow history) see how Progressives and One-Party-rule worked out for Detroit.
The Tea Party/Republicans (if truly going away, as predicted by kavips) will be gone by 2016
;however, if the Tea Party/Republicans win in 2014 (as I predict), it will be a very interesting 2016.
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 11:59am
Well that is pretty simplistic... Sort of like saying ... If I drive and make it to Ohio, I will get to Ohio, but if I don't, I won't get there...

There will always be the extremes in both parties. The Liberty League of the 1930's and 40's became the John Birchers of 50's and 60;s, who became followers of Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan in the 80's and 90's, now are today's TEA party folks. Same with the DEMS and the Progressive side of their party.
It seems from time to time that the extremes get loud and get their way, think the DEMS in 1968 had the extreme anti-war/Hippie/ counterculture movement hijack their party. Neither party is immune.
The DEMS are starting to see element of their more extreme folks speaking out more, as those folks don't want a moderate DEM party, but a Socialistic/Progressive DEM party, just the opposite of the TEA folks. Both sides have their extremes.
That's why I advocate haveing 4 parties: Progressive, DEM, G.O.P., TEA. Then the voter can clearly vote for the ideas they want. Free market politics. The ideas that work in the public's eye will be what survives.
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 2:13pm
Actually, Mike, you can simplify that down to three. Progressives, DEM*G.O.P.s, and the TEA's... Both extremes would be marginalized, but for the DEM*G.O.P.s to get anything done, they would have to reach out to either one of the other parties, which means that action, as opposed to inaction, would become the trademark of the Federal Government....
A three-party system would work well. The Tea's are in the best shape to jump, and carry their infrastructure with them.
Mike from Delaware
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 3:13pm
Kavips: I still think the 4 parties would be better. DEMS and Republicans do have differences in approaches[the DEMS are more for the working class/little guy/ unions, the G.O.P. is more geared towards business/Wall Street, non-unions, etc].
Mon, Dec 16, 2013 10:00pm
Still TEA party. Still proud of it.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 3:19am
It wouldn't surprise me if sometime over the next 11 months the Democrats figure out a way to fool the public yet another time.
Thank God Republicans are for business because without them there would be no jobs. You can be for the working man all you want, but if you screw his employer, you double-screw him.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 3:22am
I should also add that populism was what empowered dictators like Hitler, Castro, Chavez, Stalin, Obama - the list is endless.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 7:16am
The list is endless. Populism also empowered Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton,and Obama...
So what's your point?
Mike from Delaware
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 8:22am
Mrpizza: I believe Kavips' point is who wins in a given election was the popular choice, fitting the mood of the people for that particular time. I was a Democrat back when Reagan ran for Prez. It seemed like the Twlight Zone to hear the college campuses were going for Reagan, but like the TV sitcome "Family Ties", where Alex P. Keaton [Michael J. Fox] rejected his 60's hippie parents' values and loved Reagan as did a majority of his generation [no New Deal DEMS in that group - they didn't know who Roosevelt was, some guy in "ancient history"].
Yet 20 years earlier, the young were Democrats, today it has switched again, the young seem to be going back to the DEMS. So populism is a shifting thing. In other words, Cool marches on, each generation defines it in their own way.
Now whether or not the young shift again back to the GOP in 2014 isn't known, yet, but could happen as many of those millenials are rather ticked off with Obama for forcing them to buy health insurance to pay for old people's health problems. I've read numerous comments on other blogs, etc, where that demo doesn't care that they are takers. They come right out and say they don't want to pay for health insurance and don't care IF you and I have to pick up the tab when they finally do go to the ER. Kind of a selfish lot, wouldn't you say? They seem to lack the vision of we all help each other, kind of a DEM value - New Deal, FDR, even a Christian value - love your neighbor as yourself.
That is the positive side of the DEM vision and also seems to not be where the youngest voters are, so it is very possible that we'll see another shift away from the DEMS and towards the GOP/TEA.
Now before Billsmith goes nuts and spends 10 paragraphs bashing Christians for not loving their neighbor, I'll say it myself. Yes, all too often we in the church have not done what Jesus would do, but on the other hand, most of the charities, hospitals, food / cloths closets, even the United Way were all started by Christian churches be they Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Assembly of God, Presbytarian, Salvation Army, etc. Could the church do more? Sure, but if it weren't for the Christian Church, and us "pointy-headed Christians" who voluntarily give our money to support those various charities [so no tax dollars from you other folks] there would be far less help for the lesser than thee; and then the government WOULD be taxing you and me to help those folks. So even the non-believer benefits by the Christian Church being around. Just another view of the wedge of Swiss Cheese we discussed a week or two ago.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 10:22am
MikeFromDelaware: You forget all the taxes we all have to pay because churches don't, because other non-profits don't, and because all you "good Christians" get tax deductions for giving money to the aforementioned. Funny, churches and other non-profits seem to think you all wouldn't give them money without tax-deductions because they scream bloody murder anytime somebody suggests a flat-rate income tax with no deductions. Churches are parasites. They don't pay taxes, but expect government services just the same. Check out charity watchdog websites. See how little of the money they take in actually goes for the stated purpose. It goes for fund-raising, high salaries, fancy buildings and - of course - lobbying. The soup kitchens and clothing drives don't make up for the taxes they don't pay. Neither do they do much good to solve social problems.
Time to get rid of primaries. No primaries and the tea baggers have no teeth. And the tea baggers are dupes of the super-rich who don't want to pay taxes either.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 12:34pm
...Too funny.
Only the Tea Partiers are beholden to the super-rich?
Our current leader is deeper in the pockets of Wall Street and Silicon Valley than Bush ever was...0bama also has uber-rich Progressive George Soros backing him. Other than the "evil" Koch Brothers, how many wealthy are backing the Tea Party?
Most reports I have read state the rich are NOT backing the Tea Party, but are instead backing the centrist Democrats and Republicans. They know this group of politicians will do whatever keeps them in office.
Mike from Delaware
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 1:26pm
Billsmith: As a former United Methodist lay speaker, I've had the opportunity to preach on that exact topic. What is your motivation to give? One point I made to challenge the congregation was, IF tomorrow the Federal Government took away the tax deduction from charible donations, would that make a difference in what you put in the collection plate? If it would, then you're giving for the wrong reason, etc., etc. We, as followers of Jesus Christ, aren't supposed to be charible because we get a tax break; we're to do it, because of the changes Christ has made in us, etc., etc., where our heart, because of Christ's grace, love, and mercy, has caused us to want to share, etc., so we give with a grateful heart, etc., etc. You get the idea.
I can't speak for all denominations and churches, but I know of many churches where the pastor's salary is far from a princely sum and their buildings are not lavish places, and they struggle to pay the electric bill, fix the old roof, etc. Yes, there are the others too, but as usual, you paint with a broad brush, condemning the entire church, but don't want others to do that when attacking your ideas, values, etc. We get it; you hate anything to do with the church and wish it were gone. Some objectivity from you would be a refreshing change.
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 3:30pm
Speaking for young people, they will go to whomever successfully holds the top 1% accountable....
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 3:43pm
MikeFromDelaware: "Objectivity" cuts two ways. You are too willing to overlook the kinds of excesses I describe. Yes, I know I am not speaking about 100 per cent of non-profits and I know I can count on you to point it out. And whatever you told people in person, when the issue of doing away with tax deductions comes up, the UMC, ELCA, LSMS, and other church bodies are fighting the measure and saying no deductions would greatly hurt their revenues.
Mike from Delaware
Tue, Dec 17, 2013 4:29pm
Billsmith: I didn't say the denominations didn't freak out any time the topic of doing away with tax deductions comes up, just as the secular charities also freak out. THE CHURCH realizes it's filled with sinners, none perfect, all flawed, and yes, many give for the wrong reasons, so it wouldn't surprise me if they freaked-out anytime that topic comes up. They themselves are sinners too, and maybe they aren't exercising enough faith themselves. You'll never hear me say The Church is perfect, far from it. But in spite of that, God still loves the church, and those outside the church. I don't overlook it; I try to work around it; and when given the opportunity, as I've had a few times, like that sermon or when teaching a Sunday School class for adults, challenge my brothers and sisters in Christ, just as many of them challenge me in my walk. It works both ways.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 5:29am
MikeFromDelaware: The great Christian cop-out. "Everybody's a sinner. We all are saved. So our sins don't matter." This is why Christianity does not make those who claim to follow it (few actually do) better people. It just allows them to be nasty human beings and claim divine justification for their nastiness. Funny that Jesus is quoted in the gospels as denouncing self-righteous, religious hypocrisy more than anything else. He never said much about the "sins" the religious right gets their shorts in a knot about. Just the sins the religious right practices. You can't follow Jesus' teaching and be a tea-bagger.
Mike from Delaware
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 8:24am
Billsmith said: "The great Christian cop-out. Everybody's a sinner. We all are saved. So our sins don't matter."
What's irritating is you apparently, by your own admission on this blog, went to a Lutheran School at some point in your life, was raised Lutheran. When you want to [as you have many times here], you can quote chapter and verse of the Bible, Luthers writings, and from the Book of Concord, but then you get these moments of amnesia. You know what you wrote above is not what Jesus taught, or Luther for that matter.
Everyone is a sinner, you, me, Mrpizza, Pope Francis, everyone. Those who come to Christ get their sins forgiven by Christ's blood shed on the cross. So does that mean we can sin and not sweat it? I don't think so. God looks at the heart [attitude]. God knows if we're sincerely trying to walk with him or playing games thinking we're fooling God, being hypocrites [Jesus definitely didn't seem to like hypocrites]. So to say our sins don't matter is not true, and is a total misstatment that you know better than to make.
That's why in the Lutheran Mass, both ELCA and LCMS versions, we have that moment in the beginning to silently confess our sins to the Lord and make that public statement of being a sinner needing God's forgiveness, so we can then get absolution [forgiveness for our sins], so we can receive the Eucharist in a worthy manner with our sins forgiven. So our sins DO matter and should never be taken lightly or blown off, because they do matter to God.
Anyone who thinks they can sin because they are "saved" as a Christian is wrong; sin is still sin to God. All sin is bad to God, so gossip is just as sinful in God's eyes as any sexual sin, be it hetero or homo. You know this. The real issue, which has got your shorts in a knot, is the focus of many believers on homosexual sins. Frankly I agree. Those sins are just as bad to God as heterosexual sins or gossip as I mentioned above.
However, what's really got your shorts in a knot, is the fact that many in The Church won't go along with political correctness and say the LGBT lifestyle is a fine alternative way to live and is NOT a sin. THAT's the real issue for you.
Prior to the past 15 or so years, the church never discussed homosexuality, but, because the LGBT folks have come "out of the closet" and are saying, we want you to say this is a "normal" lifestyle, naturally The Church is speaking up and for the most part NOT saying what you'd want it to say. So you attack that part of The Church as being intolerant.
What you do in your bedroom is none of anyone's business, that's between you and God period. But if you're going to flaunt it and say the church needs to accept it - that it's not a sin anymore - then you're going to get push back from The Church. Just as if heterosexuals who cheat on their spouses started coming out and saying this isn't a sin anymore - accept our lifestyle - they too would get pushback. THAT's the real issue here for you. As you have claimed here to be AC/DC, you hate the fact that the church says the homosexual side of you is sinful if practiced. Just as the guy who wants to bed as many women he can is sinning, or the guy who cheats on his taxes is sinning, etc, etc, all are sinning. The others keep their sins to themselves, the LGBT folks want us to say it's OK and normal. So you bash the church & its believers any chance you get. Still the bottom line, for any sin, all sinners need to repent and get right with the Lord, even Christians. The difference is I know I'm a sinner who needs to go and repent to God [through his Son Jesus Christ]; the unbelievers don't even think they've sinned, or if they do know it, they don't care.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 9:33am
Speaking for young people, they will go to whomever successfully holds the top 1% accountable....Period.
If true...then the Moderate Republicans and Democrats should be scared. The Tea Party is NOT for the 1%ers, that would instead be the Moderate Republicans (like Romney, Christie, Boehner, etc) and Moderate Democrats. The Moderates can be pushed around by the wealthy donors/lobbyists because they will say/do anything to keep their jobs and remain in power...the "crazy" Tea Party-types are listening to and doing the bidding of their CONSTITUENTS.
The Tea Party is also taking on Big Government (another thing the voting-age youth of today do not trust). Rand Paul and most other Tea Party-types are against Big Government intrusion into our lives...like N.S.A. or even Nanny State policies like anti-Big Gulp Bloomberg(D)/(R)/(?)
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 9:40am
What's this? The guy who is anti-abortion, anti-sodomy, anti-marijuana doesn't like the "nanny state?"
So why is it one percenters - more specifically, the one percent of the one percenters - are funding and organizing the tea party? They've got you so worked up with anti-government hatred, you don't notice how the one per centers are the ones screwing you.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 11:34am
bill: Name these 1%ers other than the Koch Bros. supporting the Tea Party.
Yes, I am pro-life (anti-murder of innocents), and pro-marriage of man/woman (what one does in the bedroom is one's own choice), and whoever said I was anti-pot?...I didn't; just said honest research should go into the health/legal repercussions that might arise with itslegalization.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 1:39pm
Earl, what's health got to do with it? There's plenty of research on health and sugar, and health and obesity, but you object to no Big Gulp rules and complain about the "nanny state." Apparently it's only the nanny state when it limits "bad habits" in which you don't indulge - not those in which you do indulge.
Dick Armey, Grover Norquist, Sheldon Adelson, Phillip Morris USA and other tobacco companies, major oil companies (including the Koch Brothers), Rupert Murdoch, Dick Cheney... And let's not forget who started these "astro-turf" movements some 80 years ago with massive spending. The Liberty League organized to kill the New Deal and funded by our very own DuPont family (better things for better living through chicanery).
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 2:19pm
Look deeper, bud, Norquist and Dick Cheney are not fans of the Tea Party...Cheney is a Neo-Con and Norquist has voiced disdain for Tea. Adelson supported Romney, but I have not heard he supports the Tea Party... no idea about Phil Morris but would wager they also spend quite a bit lobbying Democrats, Progressives, and "establishment" Republicans as well.
Even if you were right, and you added your group above all together... they are but drops in the bucket compared to Big Unions, Bill Gates, Bloomberg, Wall Street, "Hollyweird", and George Soros, who put Big money solidly behind the Democrats.
As to pot/health...If people were actually held responsible for their own decisions, then we could legalize almost anything (Libertarian Paradise)... however, in America no one wants to admit they are responsible for any of their own decisions.
Drink your Big Gulp, co-habitat with whomever you choose, and smoke whatever you want, but don't force others to pay for your decisions or modify others religious beliefs for your decisions.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 3:42pm
Earl: Not fans? But providers of "Big Bucks" through their SuperPACs, and backers of their approved candidates.
And now you resort to the eight-year-old's favorite excuse: Johnny does it! His parents let him do it.
And of course, your figures to support your claim that those people you mention give more than the right-wing .1-per centers. Bill Gates gives money to education and health care, mostly in underdeveloped countries, but I suppose you consider that liberal and lobbying. And everybody in Hollywood is liberal? Really, Mr. Reagan is the greatest president in our lifetimes? Big unions? Where have you been in the last 30 years?
The Koch's and their ilk are not the only ones who give money, but it doesn't change the fact that the tea party is an "astro-turfed" movement, and people like you are manipulated to support their interests, and to work against your own self-interest. But this is why there is such a big overlap between the tea-baggers and the religious right. You can find a lot of gullible people in one place on Sunday morning.
Wed, Dec 18, 2013 7:27pm
Bill Gates is one of the biggest pushers of Common Core so yes, he is beyond Liberal and actually a Progressive.
Hollywood is a lot different than it was during the time of Reagan...it was liberal, but nothing close to today's Hollywoodland.
Big unions (SEIU, UAW and the rest of the alphabet soup of unions) force their members to pay dues and then the leaders pay off/support Democrats.
And, do you really think the Kochs can compete against the list I posted above PLUS Google and Facebook? How powerful are those guys compared to the social media?
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 12:59am
Earl: It's not just the Kochs competing all by themselves. Besides, the big difference between right-wing, authoritarian elitists and progressives, is elitists are selfish, arrogant and driven by greed. Rich progressives want to use their money for good, to help people.
PS: Jesus won't let people like you into heaven. Only progressives in heaven.
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 11:45am
Salvation is for all who come to Christ; Jesus isn't a Democrat nor a Republican, not a Conservative nor a Liberal/Progressive, nor a TEA person. Jesus wasn't political; no party defines Christ.
None can earn their salvation; it's a gift, grace from God. When I really look at myself I can see the flawed, selfish, sinner who's so-called righteousness is like a filthy rag, and deserving of Hell, but thankfully God in his loving mercy gives me and anyone who wants it, his grace, love, and forgiveness so in spite of what I and they truly deserve, I and they instead get salvation. THAT's the Gospel message [the Good News], Law and Gospel [to use a Lutheran term].
My guess is there will be many surprises in Heaven, as those who do get past St. Peter at the Pearly Gates may be surprised who they see on the inside. God is the judge and ONLY he decides who gets in. We all see through smoked-colored glass and won't see clearly until we're with Christ in Heaven.
That sobering words of Jesus that should keep any and all followers of Christ humble and seeking God's will is: Matt 7:21 [ESV English Standard Version]: "Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Our walk is supposed to match our talk. Not a works mentality, but my works are because of my faith. So you don't do the works to earn salvation, but yet because of your salvation you seek God's will and desire so he can use you to do his good works.
Bottom line is none deserve to go to Heaven; it's a gift from our Creator God due to the blood shed by his Son Jesus. We as humans want to dictate the terms to God, it doesn't work that way. God is the judge, it will be done his way no matter what any of us here think, believe, or post.
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 12:27pm
MikeFromDelaware: Yes, Christianity is about being good and doing good in order to get into heaven. Judaism is about being good and doing good because it's the right thing to do and makes the world better for everybody.
Progressive political principals are consistent with Jesus' teachings and admonitions. Right-wing politics is not, and is based in anger, hate, bitterness and deference to authority.
Christians (and conservatives) generally don't care about the world, other people, or quality of life. Just their get-out-of-hell free card. Why worry about the world? Jesus will come back and we get out of here and the rest of the world goes to hell. It's amazing how much pleasure Christians take in the thought of other people being tormented in hell for all eternity.
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 1:28pm
bill: You could not be more wrong about true Christianity...
True Christianity is not a "get-out-of-hell card"; it's way more than that.
I heard a recent sermon that gave a good example of how Christians should see/interact with the world. Imagine our world as the Titanic... your view is that Christians would be the first to jump overboard in the "lifesavers"...leaving everyone else to die. True Christians (in this scenario) would rush down to the bottom of the ship and do everything possible to repair the damage done to the ship, and seal-up as many damaged portions as possible to save their "neighbors".
There are (sadly) many examples of "bad Christians" but that doesn't mean that Christianity is wrong, simply means the followers of Christ are flawed humans. Jesus is the perfect example; Christians are supposed to do their best to do as He would do and share His Word/gospel to all...we aren't responsible for your decision to accept/reject... just responsible to share His good news.
Sorry you are so bitter towards Christ/Christians... I really don't care what you think of me, only what my Creator thinks of me.
Putting your faith/trust in politicians will always let you down.
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 2:03pm
Earl: What makes you think I trust politicians - except in the Errol Flynn sense of trust (You can count on Errol Flynn; he will always let you down)?
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 3:25pm
Well said, EarlGrey. The Church does all the various good works around the globe not to earn heaven, but because true Christians do care about their community & the world as Christ did (the Titanic illustration of Earl's is a good one).
Bill, I can agree, though, all too often Christians don't live as Christ would. We are to live in this world, but not be of this world. Most of us are poor representatives of Jesus; definitely I fall far short. Being a follower of Jesus isn't some magic spell where you ask Jesus to come into your life and poof, you're a clone of Jesus. No, each day we make all sorts of decisions of what we say & do that hopefully are in God's will & how Jesus would handle the situation if he were walking the Earth. Sadly, I can only speak for me; I'm sure My Lord gets disappointed by my actions far more often than I'd want to admit. Thankfully his grace is sufficient even for such a sinner as me.
You are hoping for reincarnation... Christians believe in eternal life either in Paradise with Jesus (think the sinner on the cross next to Jesus) or eternity in Hell where it was implied the other sinner on the third cross was going.
So yes, Bill, part of Christianity is about eternity. If you don't think there is an eternity, & you simply believe you end up as food for the worms then you might not be too interested in God'd plan for eternity. Funny, though, as folks get older & they start to see their frailties, their interest in eternity seems to grow. Christ wants no one to perish. It's sad that for whatever reason, there's a mountain blocking you (that you won't go around) from coming back to Christ. Each of us has to choose.
Final point, there's no joy for me & any real follower of Christ in seeing someone reject Christ & choose damnation. That's a part of the believers' heart you'll never understand. Your high intellect can't give you that answer. There's no logically reason for it; it's part of what The Holy Spirit changes in each true believer's heart.
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 3:30pm
Thanks Mike.
Thu, Dec 19, 2013 3:41pm
The idea of reincarnation for most belief systems that hold to it is ultimately one will achieve a state of perfection and eternal bliss. But you have to work you way up to it. Christianity gives you one pitch. One strike and eternal damnation. In reincarnation, life is more of a learning experience. A bad person comes back to a purgatory-like life.
I don't think a being smart enough to create the universe would set up such a dumb game to achieve the afterlife as you all imagine.
Remember, I don't do hope and I don't do belief.
And the more I think about it, I picture Christians grabbing all the seats on the lifeboats and as they are waiting to be lowered, telling the other passengers to repent. There'd also be conversation in the lifeboat about the iceberg as god's will and how no one can understand the ways of the lord.

I just checked our access, and searched for a case. It seems to be working fine. Could you give me the name of the case you were searching?

Macon – Gordon Lee had a 19-point lead going into the fourth quarter and held off a Randolph-Clay rally for a 61-56 victory in the Class A-Public girls final at the Macon Centreplex on Thursday to win the first basketball state championship in school history.
Senior Kassidy Blevins led the way for the Trojans (25-7), scoring 21 points to go along with eight rebounds, four steals, three assists and a blocked shot. Fellow senior Katie Barger had a big first half, scoring all 14 of her points as No. 6 seed Gordon Lee built a 36-19 halftime lead.
Barger made two 3-pointers and was 6-for-8 from the field in the first half. Gordon Lee shot 55.2 percent (16-for-29) from the field in the first two quarter while holding Randolph-Clay to 30.4 percent (7-for-23).
"We shot it well in the first half, but we've shot it better," Gordon Lee coach Lester Galyon said. "That's what our advantage was going into this game. I felt like we had a chance if we could shoot it well, and we did."
Top-seeded Randolph-Clay (29-3) trailed 50-31 going into the fourth quarter and outscored Gordon Lee 12-2 over the next four minutes to get back into the game, but the Red Devils never got closer than the five-point final margin.
Randolph-Clay's Kaneika Washington led all scorers with 26 points, including 11 during the Red Devils' 25-point fourth quarter.
Randolph-Clay did not bring its required dark uniforms and played the game wearing uniforms borrowed from Jones County.
Randolph-Clay (56): Whenika Washington 2, Kaneika Washington 26, Adriana Blackmon 13, Kobi Thornton 13, Crystal Ricks 2, Brianna Thornton , Alicia Matis, Kadera Parham, Shaaliyah Lews.
Gordon Lee (61): Kassidy Blevins 21, Katie Barger 14, Kalei Kimbrell 2, Taylor Hartline 4, Katelyn Lee 8, Katherine Chambers 2, Abbey Bohannon 4, Tiffany Holland 6, Anna Pettigrew, Sara Holcomb, Tori McElhaney, Bree Salle, Sara Clayton, Avrie Weldon, Madelyn Lee.

That's why whenever I take a team to a neutral site I always take both sets of uniforms. I have even taken them when we are the visitors. Especially if the other team has the same colors that we have. You can never be too careful.

So… maybe the GL girls can finally start getting a little love from the AJC?? They are now 3-time defending state champs in softball (including the only undefeated season in GHSA history, in 2010, BEFORE the public/private split) and now state champs in basketball the first year of public/private split. I think that deserves consideration when you start the discussion about the stronger programs in the state. Just sayin…

Gordon Lee is a unique little school. It has the atmosphere and look of a private school but it is a public school. Beautifully situated in the beautiful town of Chickamauga. They have a great thing going.

According to Goethe himself, he was born "on the stroke of twelve" on 28 August 1749. Today the Goethe House and Goethe Museum stand on the site of the house in Grosser Hirschgraben where he was born, which has been faithfully restored.
Also open to the public, the writer's study on the second floor is furnished as it was in his time. This is where Goethe wrote 'Götz von Berlichingen', 'Faust' and 'The Sorrows of Young Werther'. The furniture and fittings in the kitchen, living quarters and reception rooms reflect those typical of a middle-class household in the late baroque period.

You can forget the whistling past the graveyard, Democrats know how toxic Obamacare is to them and they need to do something, anything to divert attention from it between now and 2016.As Politico reports, that means anything.Democrats have already tried to change the subject, income inequality, gay marriage, and others. It appears that even at this early date they've been frustrated into a smear campaign. According to Politico, the plan includes claiming that Republicans would let insurance companies deny coverage to female victims of domestic violence, allow the costs of prescription drugs to rise for seniors or deny coverage for contraception.
Deny coverage to domestic violence victims? Republicans need to be prepared. And the Democratic strategy of "fix not scrap" and claiming what Republicans will do on the issue WILL stick if Republicans don't get around and strongly promote a plan. A very good one was unveiled last month to a nearly universal yawn.
It's February. "Lawless" and "Obamacare sucks" won't get them to November. Democrats will fight back. Republicans need to go on the offensive.

Mr & Mrs Globetrot8
I am so excited to introduce (for those not already smitten with them) Julia & Yuriy. He and I have been traveling the U.S. Despite having just lived the first part of our own road-trip journey.. we are supremely jealous of these two! Newlyweds that bucked tradition, took off, no major plan, no car (no airstream), one..ONE.. suitcase each and minds & bodies ready for adventure, except instead of our little corner of the world they went worldwide. Like I said, be prepared to be green with envy, we sure are!
They are professional photographers and if I lived in Seattle (their home base, another I'm so jealous moment…) I would be the first to sign up if they were willing to teach photography because their photographs are nothing short of amazing. Good news if you've been searching for some new artwork, they have an online shop, Handle with Care, where you can purchase various photos from their travels in a variety of sizes. Their photographs honest to goodness transport & inspire me in ways that no other travel photos have ever even come close to. I wish I could have grabbed a bag and tagged along….except I really don't like to fly all that much so some serious hypnosis would have been in order (;
They've been to Hong Kong (their blog posts & photographs of this very lively city are so energized and capture the culture so well), Italy, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Indonesia, to name a few.. along with the place that is on the tip top of my list to see.. Montenegro. And this doesn't even cover all the places they've been. Lucky for all of us you can virtually tag along to all of the spots they've visited on their website Mr & Mrs Globetrot, plus learn a little about each place along the way. Below you will see some of their photography mixed in with a big session of question and answer. Thanks so much Julia & Yuriy for taking time out of your busy schedules to "chat" with us all!! Oh! and if you want to hire them to photograph your wedding, that's their specialty… click here for more info.
1. What do you love most about traveling?
The chance to step out of your daily routine and comfortable settings at home. It frees up your mind and time to learn, explore, and grow.
2. What were the challenges of traveling with just a suitcase versus traveling with a car or travel trailer, etc.? Benefits?
When traveling with just a suitcase and no car/trailer, you have to find a place to sleep and figure out the sometimes-crazy public transportation system in a new city. This is usually a benefit since you don't have to worry about driving or finding/paying for street parking. Using the public transportation system in a city helps you get a better feel for the city and experience a local's lifestyle. The subway is the best place to people watch– you'll see people commuting to work in professional dress, school kids in uniform chatting or fighting, mothers feeding kids lunch on the go, etc.
3. With regards to the people you met, what did you find to be the most culturally different (from Americans) in the various places you visited?
We found in many countries that people aren't too concerned about their appearance or belongings. In Turkey, a poor family invited us into their home for dinner. Their home was very simple, wasn't cleaned, and they were eager to serve us dinner on the floor of their kitchen. They didn't care if we judged them—they were friendly and welcoming without a second thought. In America, you don't get invited to a stranger's home, and if you do, it's because they cleaned and prepared to impress. It was refreshing to put materialistic concerns aside and focus on the way you treat people instead.
4. If you could take one aspect of the attitudes you found and infuse it into Americans, what would it be?
Work less, live more. We're so focused on accomplishments, getting promoted, buying bigger/better homes, cars, & stuff. Most cultures around the world work to provide for daily living and spend more time with family, friends, and enjoying the world. At home in America, people couldn't understand how we took off to travel for 6 months, because they're so used to getting just one week every year for vacation. We rarely saw American travelers abroad, but ran into so many Europeans & Australians traveling for months or even years at a time!
5. What things about home (besides friends & family) did you miss the most?
A kitchen—we got tired of eating out and not being able to cook. A few times we stayed in apartments with kitchens and that was such a luxury.
A closet— a suitcase wardrobe gets old pretty quick. Clothes were constantly wrinkled and smelled a little funny.
Our bikes—we missed being active. Our only exercise while traveling was walking, and that was usually through cities.
6. Our readers love travel, and although we are traveling across the U.S., many want to do just what you did.. what would your number one tip be for anyone wanting to follow in your footsteps?
Save some money, quit your job if you have to, and go travel for an extended time at least once in your lifetime! You will regret purchases you make at home, but nobody regrets spending money on a trip. It's experiences and memories you will treasure for the rest of you life. And please don't put it off for retirement! We didn't see any old people doing anything very adventurous. They were usually on a cruise ship, staying at overpriced hotels, and stuck in the tourist traps because they don't like to walk far. It's an entirely different experience to travel when you're young. Not only will you be more adventurous and have more fun, but you'll have this learning experience to live with for a long time.
7. Do you ever want to travel the U.S. in a similar manner? or will you stick to more traditional vacations when traveling here?
We'd love to see more of the US. Our traveling style stays pretty constant whether we're far away or close to home. We don't plan much in advance. We recently took some short trips to Denver, Boston, and New York City, and we got some last minute apartment deals online, and took public buses and trains between and around the cities. We walked a lot and explored funky neighborhoods.
8. Was it hard to adjust to spending money (amazing how fast it adds up!) while your money-making was on hold?
That is an adjustment for anyone traveling and taking a work hiatus and a huge point of interest for people wanting to take off and do the same.
The first month was blissful since we weren't working and had a fatty stack of money in our savings. Oh yeah, and we were newlyweds. The last few months were more difficult since our savings dwindled down and we wanted to stay away from home longer. We started with a mindset that if we ran out of money, we'd come home from our 6 month trip early. This pushed us to be wiser with our money, avoid shopping sprees, and bargain with anyone we could.
9. Now you're home. Is it hard to adjust to a routine again? Do you feel more settled now that you have seen a good bit of the world and what's out there…or does it make you less settled, wanting to be back in travel mode?
We were really looking forward to a routine when we made it back to the States—planning to wake up at 7am each morning, have a healthy breakfast, hit the gym, and get to work. Yeah right. It took us quite a while to break our habit of sleeping in, staying up way too late, and being way too spontaneous with our time. We still haven't returned to the gym. Our trip was just a little taste of what the world has to offer. I wish we were satisfied, but we're not. Our list of dream destinations has grown like crazy. But we're still young… we have time to see more.
10. Home base is Seattle for you two, what makes you love it there? Do you think you would live anywhere else? Have to ask.. do you mind all the rain we hear you get?
We adore Seattle. It's got all the benefits of living in a big city and in the wild. We love that we're close to the ocean and close to the mountains. We love to hike, kayak, mountain bike, camp, and ski/snowboard together in our area. Other times we like to dress up and go see a play, concert, or eat at a shnazzy sushi bar downtown. Best of both worlds. The rain only helps you appreciate the sun more, and those are the days everyone in Seattle is outside playing and in high spirits. We'd really like to experience living somewhere else, but trying to find a reason to move.
11. What did you (individually) learn about yourselves on this journey?
[Yuriy] I learned that the world is big. I wanted to see and do everything in each city, but didn't have enough time and energy to devote to each. And I realized that I married a tough and patient travel partner.
[Julia] Traveling makes you feel small. Like a tree in a forest. The things I valued and spent so much time on back home (things like work & school) suddenly seemed so unimportant. I realized that there are so many people doing things differently around the world, and it is working for them. So often we think that our way is the best way, and if anyone is different, they aren't doing it right. I realized that we can learn and grow so much by observing other people, appreciating their culture, and not being afraid of change.
12. Absolute favorite places you traveled to?
Everyone loves to ask this question and it's impossible to answer! We loved driving down the Adriatic Coast in Croatia and Montenegro. It was dotted with ancient towns and castle walls. The scenery was gorgeous. We stopped to explore old cities, eat a slow lunch on the water, and pick wild pomegranates on the side of the road. Turkey had so much to offer—a mystical and vibrant culture, amazing food, ancient Biblical towns, and some of the nicest people. It was really hard to leave Koh Phangan, a small Thai island, at the end of our trip. It was the most relaxed atmosphere and a hippie's dream. Sunshine, hammock, bare feet, and fresh watermelon smoothies almost everyday.
13. Words of wisdom for fellow (or wannabe) travelers.
Let your guard down. Talk to locals and ask lots of questions. You'll learn more from them than from a guide book and you'll feel closer to the people and culture of the country you're in. It's easy to ignore people around you (especially since you speak different languages) and be self-centered, but every time we took the time to chat with a stranger, we were so glad we did. Traveling feels more meaningful when you can relate to people instead of just visiting the tourist sights.

Press Release
June 1, 2010
John See
Statement by Randi Weingarten,
President, American Federation of Teachers,
On 'Race to the Top'
Today is the deadline for states to file applications for phase two of Race to the Top, a $4 billion federal grant competition that rewards states for, among other things, working closely with unions.
WASHINGTON—Race to the Top isn't the express lane to perfect education reform, but it does give us a pretty good window into which states are serious about collaborating with teachers to help improve public schools and which are not.
During the Race to the Top application process, some states, such as Illinois and Pennsylvania, collaborated in a meaningful way with educators, parents and community leaders to help design strong grant applications that, if funded, could make a tremendous difference in children's lives. Florida's governor called together a diverse group of stakeholders to collaborate on a strong and competitive phase-two application that has earned widespread support. And New York put together a forward-looking, thoughtful teacher evaluation plan with multiple measures of teacher performance.
These states are sincere about improving schools to better prepare students for success in college and careers. Not surprisingly, many teachers unions support these states' Race to the Top applications.
However, in other states, like Virginia, officials took a "my way or the highway" approach based on politics rather than what's best for kids. Similarly, state officials in Minnesota and Indiana failed to include teachers in the application process—and then scapegoated teachers to deflect attention from the decision not to file applications.
What is especially troubling about the states that failed to work with teachers unions is that, as teachers well know, the common denominator for all good schools is an environment where the adults work together on behalf of the students. That is why our affiliates sought to be included in the application process, even in states where officials tried to shut them out. We are proud of their efforts, and we stand by the sometimes difficult decisions our affiliates made about whether to support the Race to the Top application in their states.

The AFT represents more than 1.4 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

AH Nation Poll: Is Hef's rumored new romance too soon? VOTE HERE!
Despite the report of more Playmate romance for Hef, he maintained his single status on Twitter on Monday afternoon.

Q:Will this chair fit underneath the Ellis Desk 56x22 size?
It seems like it would but I'd like t obe sure.
ThanksAsked on 8/22/2013 by designhoncho from east hampton
1 answer
A:The arm height on the Lira chair is 24". The under desk clearance on our Ellis desk collection is also 24". Since both pieces are handmade, there may be up to a 1/4" variance on either of these dimensions. If the chair did fit, it would be so close that sliding the chair in and out may cause damage to either piece over time.Answered on 8/23/2013 by Design Associate from Room & Board

Rustics Premium Rodeo Russet Laminate Flooring
When you think "laminate," think durability - and affordability. Armstrong Laminate offers both - great news if you're on a budget. Distinctive wood-look grains and authentic stone-like textures add realistic beauty to Armstrong laminate floors. Armstrong laminate floors are also easy to clean. Simply sweep or vacuum your floor regularly and clean occasionally with a laminate cleaning product like Armstrong Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner.
Looking for a floor you can install yourself? Choose laminate! Many Armstrong laminate floors feature their patented Lock & Fold technology. With Lock & Fold, you insert the laminate planks in place and then fold them down, creating a tight, "locked" flooring system. Make sure to look for the "Lock & Fold" description - not all laminate floors use this technology. Some laminate floors require a glue-down installation.

Yelp stock soars after lockup expires
Many social media companies are having a rough time on the market, but the reviews site is proving to be an exception.
This week, early investors in the online reviews site Yelp (YELP) finally got a chance to sell their shares after a six-month "lockup" period that followed Yelp's IPO.
Shareholders braced themselves for a wave of sell-offs: After all, early investors in Facebook (FB), the biggest social media company in the world, dumped their shares en masse after its lockup ended, causing Facebook's stock to plummet. However, Yelp's early investors held on to their shares and the stock soared by 22.5%, bucking a slump for social media companies on the stock market.
Here are three takeaways from Yelp's stellar stock performance:
1. Investors believe in Yelp
"When given the opportunity to take their money and run, early investors and executives" gave Yelp a "collective vote of confidence," says Jennifer Van Grove at VentureBeat. Analysts say the already-popular site, which allows users to post reviews of neighborhood businesses and restaurants, could soon become a household name, as it launches a "partnership with Apple to integrate local content into software for the iPhone and iPad,"says Danielle Kucera at Bloomberg.
2. But there may be trouble on the horizon
"Yelp faces the same challenges of other young internet companies," says Evelyn M. Rusli at The New York Times. Yelp relies on businesses for revenue (customers can access the site for free), with vendors given "the option to spend money on advertisements or other services." However, while revenue is rising, "only a fraction of businesses with profiles on Yelp -- about 4% -- pay the company anything." Like Facebook and Groupon, Yelp still has to show investors that it has a sustainable model for revenue.
3. The stock benefited from short selling
Lots of investors anticipated that Yelp's stock would plummet once the lockup expired, leading them to take short positions on the stock, meaning they bet that the share price would fall. However, when it became clear that the price was actually climbing, the short-sellers needed to hedge their earlier bets. So they quickly began buying Yelp stock in an attempt to balance their pessimistic gambles and prevent huge losses. Dubbed a "short squeeze," the dynamic likely boosted Yelp's stock significantly.

#Personhood would ban all abortions-NO EXCEPTIONS & would ban emergency contraception! #COPolitics
Fofi Mendez, Campaign Director
Despite Coloradans history of overwhelmingly rejecting "Personhood" measures, it will be back on the ballot in November. On August 7, The Denver Post's Idea Log (Opinion Blog) named its return "Day's Worst: Return of Colorado's Personhood Amendment." The piece talks about the history of the Amendment, and its chances of electoral success.
This year, the "Personhood" Amendment is a political firestorm, but, as an issue committee, the NO Personhood Campaign has to stay focused on what it means for all Coloradans. The amendment is more than a political horserace: It will determine who has the right to make personal decisions in our families.
Everyone is talking about the wide margin of victory in past elections. They are correct. Coloradans overwhelmingly reject this government intrusion into their personal lives.
Here is what we cannot lose sight of:
- The amendment is dangerous to all Coloradans because it puts politicians and the government between your family and your doctors.
- The amendment would ban all abortions, including for victims of rape an incest.
- The amendment would lead to goverment interference into your personal life. It could investigate miscarriages. It could determine what kinds of birth control you can use. It could determine what fertility treatments are available to your family.
We cannot let the proponents find any victory, gain any point, make any momentum in our state. As Abigail Pesta says in The Daily Beast, the "'Personhood' approach has been meeting with success: last year, states enacted a record 135 abortion restrictions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that focuses on reproductive rights. Mason has said his group has more than 80,000 volunteers across the country and that he 'won't go down without a fight." Their movement started in Colorado. Any momentum here just feeds their march across the country, and even into Europe.
Sign the resolution to oppose the Personhood Amendment. Come to our events. Get involved on Facebook. Tweet about it. Don't let "Personhood" gain any ground here.
This week, proponents of the so-called "Personhood" Amendment turned 112,121 signatures in to the Secretary of State's office to get this dangerous Amendment on the 2012 ballot in Colorado, despite the fact that Colorado voters have overwhelmingly rejected similar amendments in 2008 and 2010. PLEASE REBLOG THIS PIC TO REMIND YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN COLORADO TO VOTE NO ON PERSONHOOD!

Over a year ago, I believe I submitted a friends car for him to try and get it into one of the magazines, and somehow they ignored the many times I Stated this was a friends car and wanted to get it into the magazine for him.Somehow it ended up in the magazine a year later, under my name..It's the blue 240SX ( s14 ) that is in readers rides under Di Bari....If someone from turbo could please contact me or help me correc this situation. Not only do I feel horrible I tried to help a friend and it back-fired in my face, I'm sure he is not happy with me... I know I would not be happy if I saw my car in a magazine under a friends name...I have my own car, that I am proud of, and would never wanted to take that away from someone elses hard work and effor they put into their car.

Air Royale's inception in 1994, our core mission remains the same: to
put your air charter safety first. That's why we're proud to sit on the
Wyvern Customer Advisory Board, which is responsible for setting the
highest standards in the industry—The Wyvern Standard. Wyvern's
standards far exceed those of minimum government oversight of
certificated, commercial air charter operators' private aircraft and
Private air charter falls under the nomenclature of
general aviation, but also known as private jet, jet charter or
corporate aviation. In order for passengers to fly for hire on board
charter operators' aircraft, first the Federal Aviation Administration
under FAR Part 135 must certificate them.
Wyvern Consulting Ltd.,
established in 1991, was the first private aviation safety evaluations
firm that began performing worldwide, stringent, on-site audits of air
charter operators' aircraft and aircrew.
* But talk is
cheap; the real story can be observed in the following statistical
summaries: Of all the 2,034 FAR Part 135 fatalities from January 1991 to
August 2010, zero (0.00%) percent involved a Wyvern-recommended
aircraft or aircrew. Of all the 1,719 Part 135 accidents from the same
period, only two of those non-fatal accidents were attributable to
Wyvern recommended operator aircraft. Looking at just Part 135 turbine
accidents from August 2005 to August 2010, jets flying air charter
flights incurred five fatal accidents and 22 fatalities, but not one of
these jet fatalities occurred on a Wyvern-compliant flight.That's a safety record that only Wyvern can claim.* Source: Wyvern (September 2010)

Imagine only being able to breathe through one side of your nose as you try to fall asleep or take a daily run. Colette Blasko knows the feeling. She suffered from chronic sinusitis. She tried everything to clear her sinuses, but when nothing worked, she turned to an ear, nose and throat specialist at Virtua to find a solution.
Solving sinus problems
The nasal cavity and sinuses act as the body's air filter. They are lined with tiny hairs and mucus that trap irritants and germs. When the sinuses and nasal tissue become irritated, they swell and block the movement of mucus.
"Blockages can be caused by things like allergies, colds, nasal polyps or a structural problem, such as a deviated septum," says Samir Shah, MD, FACS, Virtua otolaryngologist.
Blasko's sinus problems were caused by a blockage that completely closed off one of her sinuses.
"Antibiotics can clear up the infection. But if the fluid has nowhere to go, the blocked sinus will just get infected over and over again. In Colette's case, surgery was the best option to get relief," says Dr. Shah.
Sinus surgery is a short, outpatient procedure in which the surgeon uses an endoscope - a tube-like instrument equipped with a tiny camera - to view the inside of the nose and sinuses. "Using the endoscope, I can see the blockage, remove the swollen tissue and drain the sinus," says Dr. Shah.
He adds: "The major advantage is that there is no incision, no bruising and no visible scar."
Easy breathing
A week later, Blasko was back at work. She says the recovery was easier than she expected. She feels great and hasn't had a sinus infection since the surgery. An avid runner, Blasko was anxious to lace up her sneakers again.
"When I went for my first run, it was wonderful," says Blasko. "I couldn't believe how much better I was able to breathe. I'm running better, and I am glad I got the procedure done."

Improved Visit Planning: Can It Lead To A Higher Level Of Quality Care?

A more formal evaluation of the information technology and clinical outcomes has not yet been summarized. However, the initial findings show a positive impact on practice and more opportunity for teaching within the office. An increase in "teachable moments," when a patient demonstrates a vested interest in his or her care, has been an unexpected and welcome finding. Patients are more engaged in their care and have a greater understanding of their needs.
In summary, we found that using this software decision support and tracking package met the expectations of sustaining improvements in high quality podiatric care for patients with diabetes.
Dr. Aung currently serves as a member of the PPOD (podiatry, pharmacy, optometry, dental) Workgroup Member for the CDC-NIH National Diabetes Education Program. She is also the principal investigator for the Amputation Risk Project. Dr. Aung is in private practice in Tuscon, Ariz. and is Co-Director of the Wound Center at Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital.

SafeGuard Easy uses the operating systems view for installation. As Windows does not display the Linux partitions, they will not be available for selection for setting up TwinBoot.

Hi. I'm Josh. I'm a web designer living and working in Cleveland, Ohio. I design clean, modern, effective websites using HTML, CSS and jQuery. I also like to wear kilts.
Yes, kilts. In 2003 I played a great Scottish warrior known as "the Douglas", in the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival's production of Henry IV. We thought it would be appropriate for me to wear a kilt for the role, so I bought a velcro-closure, polyester "Sport Kilt"… and I loved it! I started wearing it around the house, and eventually out in public, but lack of pockets made it impractical. Then I found the Utilikilt — a kilt with cargo pockets! I wear mine all the time. I even got married in an authentic Scottish kilt, in my wife's family tartan. It cost more than her dress.
The short version? Hire me, and not only will you be getting a talented designer, you'll be getting a fashionable one.

Former Sox Nick Swisher's solo homer capped a four-run ninth inning, as the Tribe rallied to take the nightcap, 9-8. The series at US Cellular Field continues this afternoon.
