It has been such a joy getting to know Lauren these past few years. We met so long ago when she was working at Solutions Bridal in Gainesville and fell instantly in love with her sweet southern spirit and infectious smile. We kept in touch through social media and followed her as she moved from Florida to Kentucky and met Jason, a true southern gentleman, that matched her spirit and her heart. Their wedding at Quail West Country Club in Lauren's home town of Naples, FL was a perfect reflection of this sweet, sophisticated couple's sense of classic style and charm. Lauren infused the entire day with their love for God, family, friends and monograms! We are so lucky to get to work with some amazing people doing what we love most and this wedding was a true reflection of that. Lauren and Jason, you two are peas in a pod. We love how you always encourage one another, always share a heart felt smile and simply adore one another. It was our honor to be part of something so special with you two. We love you dearly and know this is just the beginning of an incredible life together as Mr. and Mrs. We hope you enjoy this little sample of what is to come.
Lots of love!
Mel & Brad

The ready availability of inexpensive and standard communications hardware in the late 1980's, coupled with sufficient standardization of intermediate-layer protocols to make reliable machine-to-machine communications thorough any combination of standard devices a reality, has laid the ground work for integrated automation on a grand scale. The contribution of the Manufacturing Automation Protocols (MAP) effort, thus far, has been to speed delivery of this powerful communications capability to the industrial community. We must realize, however that the delivery of the capability has now outstripped our ability to use it. On the factory floor, we have no devices which are prepared to control automation on a grand scale, and even worse, we have few controllers which are capable of contributing their local automation to any kind of integrated whole. The stumbling block is the lack of common languages or even a common experience base in which to communicate about automation tasks. We are now in the midst of a flurry of intellectual activity, on both sides on the Atlantic, developing languages, architectures, control techniques, data systems, communications systems and ultimately controllers to meet this challenge. In such a burst of activity, it is to be expected that experts in individual areas will hasten to solve the problems with which they are most conversant, and that certain interdisciplinary problems will fail to get timely attention to several such issues now, in the hope that they may get due consideration as the process advances. The issues discussed here are: separation of data flow from control flow, the impact of perfect communication on real-time control, consistency of data with physical reality, the significance of standard data models, the identification of shared and private data.

Ariana Grande Assures Fans: Rihanna Wasn't Laughing at Me!
It's a tough climb to artistic credibility, and Ariana Grande wants everyone to know that her performance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards didn't induce laughing on the part of pop superstar Rihanna.
While chatting with Australian radio program "The Bump Show," Grande explained that the "Umbrella" babe actually enjoyed her live version of "Problem."
The radio host began, "[Rihanna] wasn't laughing at you, she was laughing at something your best friend said. I know you guys caught up afterwards, did she clarify that?"
Ariana replied, "I didn't see her laughing at me, but when I watched it afterwards it looked like she was just shocked because I was doing something different. Afterwards she was so kind to me, she was like, 'Lil' mama keep doing what you're doing because it's working.'"
"I thought it was funny that people tried to make such a commotion out of it when she was just being playful and supportive… People are always trying to make a big deal out of nothing because they're bored."

Jonathan Burnett, "Flash Floods in Texas"
ISBN: 1585445908 | 2008 | PDF | 352 pages | 109 MB
How many times have you heard the television or radio alert, "We are now under a flash flood watch"? While the destructive force of flash flooding is a regular occurrence in the state and has caused a tremendous amount of damage and heartache over the years, no one until now has recorded in a single book the history of flash floods in Texas.
After combing libraries and archives, grilling county historians, trekking to flood sites, and collecting scores of graphic photographs, Jonathan Burnett chose twenty-eight floods from around the state to create this narrative of a century of disastrous events. Beginning with the famous Austin dam break of 1900 and ending with the historic 2002 flooding in the Hill Country, Burnett chronicles the causes and courses of these catastrophic floods as well as their costs in material damage and human lives.
Dramatic photographs of each event enhance the harrowing accounts of danger spawned by nature on a rampage. Together, the stories and the pictures give readers a vivid and lasting image of the power and unpredictability of flash floods in Texas.
"Burnett's work does add appreciably to our knowledge of high-water events and their impact on the people of Texas. Virtually all of the information about such movements is buried in summary reports written by bureaucrats for specific purposes, or in local newspapers whose readership is greatly restricted. Burnett neatly compiles so much of this information in a form that is readily accessible and digestible. Moreover, his documentation is superlative."-George W. Bomar, State Meteorologist

Think Rory McIlroy can win the British Open?
His dad does.
Way back when Rory was 15, Gerry McIlroy and three friends each kicked in £100 and wagered £400 at 500-1 odds that Rory would be drinking from the Claret Jug before he was 25.
Now Rory is the 7-1 favorite to win the Open next month at Royal St. George's and, even if he doesn't win this year, he's only 22. There's plenty of time for Gerry and the guys to pocket £200,000 ($350,000 U.S.) on one of the smartest bets anyone has made.
And, just think, there could have been a bigger payday.
"That was all the bookies would let us put on, £100 apiece. But that bet is looking better and better."
Disclaimer: This post in no way is meant to encourage parents to wager on their children's future accomplishments. Chances are your kid is no Rory McIlroy.

|Size was perfect for us. We found The Radiance of the Seas to be very\, very clean in every part of the ship that we visited. For being in rainy weather every single day\, I though tthe crew responded in a positive way.
|Food and Dining
|We ate at the main seating for dinner and some times we ate breakfast and lunch in the Windjammer. Both places served fantastic food with a very good variety to chose from. We did not go to any of the specialty restaurants.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|We were in a deck 3 cabin with just a large port window. Tried a balcony once\, paid the premium and then we never used it\, and that was in the Carribbean! In Alaska\, I just don't see the reason to move up.

|We have cruised many times on RCCL\, but i can honestly say that every encounter we had on the Radiance of the Seas was very positive.
|I have always said that the entertainment on an RCCL ship is worth the price of the cruise and this one was no different. We never missed a show\, they were all top-drawer!

How bad is it? And where do you find those drain plugs anyway?
OK. Major Noob mistake. Had my JKU for not even a week now. Yesterday ran the son to the store real quick afterschool with the front two panels of the freedom top off. Get home and run inside to get the phone and forget to put the top back on.
Well late last night we had a MAJOR downpour and the JK got soaked. So far I have vacuumed out about a gallon and a half in my wet dry vac. I have dried everything off surface wise on the dash, seats, etc. with towels and used the wet vac for any other crevices, etc.
My MP3 player sitting on in the net holder under the dash is toast.
The radio worked for FM when I turned it on but the Sat. gave me an antenna error originally but is now receiving OK.
I have been able to find three drain plugs each side by sliding my hands under the carpet. 1 under the driver/passenger front seat, one in the foot well in the back seat and 1 under the bench seat in the back (all on each side). Are there more? I assume there is one in each front foot well but I cant seem to find a way to it or how to remove the front carpet.
Right now I have not removed the carpet. I took the wet vac to everything and sucked out a ton of water and now I am going over all the carpets with a hair dryer to try and get them all dry.
The top is back on but I have all the windows down and doors open to help air it out. May rain more this morning so I did not want to leave it bare. Supposed to be sunny this afternoon so I may take it off again. We will see.
Any thoughts, concerns, etc.?
The carpet should just pull out. It's not fastened down, but some might run under the trim so be careful. It would be a good idea to pull it when the sun comes back out and let the sun hit it for a few hours to prevent mildew.
Such a noob mistake i did the same thing but as soon as i heard rain i ran outside and put the tops on, so nothing got wet for more then 2 mins and was fine...wish i could h elp out more with the plugs but i havent had to go there yet.....good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
There are two in each front footwell. If I had mine right now Id take a picture to show you.
Under the dash there are a couple nuts that help hold it down, remove those and it should peel back and be easily put back when you are done
If I could best describe them, one is about 3-4in in front of the seat mount and about 4-5in from the doorsill trim, the other one is about 4inches further into the footwell and 4 inches closer to the transmission tunnel hump.
There are no natural fibers in the interior of the JKs so mildew wont be an issue but you should still pull it let some sun and wind hit it.
Here is a pic of the plastic nuts
Found a pic with the plugs
Not mine, pics are of other peoples Jeeps and being used for educational purposes only. :D
One more, my original description was a bit off I guess. The upper right and left ar the front footwells
And one under the jack.
Thanks all for the help. Finally pulled the carpet and let it sit in the sun. Even after extensive wet/dry vacuuming there still was about a pint of water soaked up in each front foot well carpet and almost twice that in the rear carpet. After letting site a few hours in the sun they are mostly dry (the fronts are slightly damp to the touch on the edges) and reinstalled.
Had some issues with a bad antennae message on the satellite radio and the steering wheel buttons not working for a while today but all came back and as far as I can tell everything is working fine now.
Neighbor is also a Jeep owner and gave me some dryer sheets to put under the floor mats and said it will help if not fully dry with any odor issues. Thought that was a tip I would share.
This forum is great!
Is there a good source for those plastic carpet retaining nuts? Some stripped fairly easily when removing the carpet and are now useless. Actually a more sturdy (metal?) option may be a better choice. Any thoughts?
Hardware store?
Don't forget to check the storage compartment in the back along with the spare jack compartment. There are also plugs in EACH of them. I removed the one in the big compartment but didn't realize there was another one in the jack space.
I caught some heavy rain with the back panels removed (but top still up) and never checked. A few days later I opened it up and there was 4 inches of water completely filling the jack compartment. Hellooooo rust
:whistling: all the best info, but-don't forget to put the drain plugs back in !!
:dance::rofl: JIMBO

text: IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When most American women aged 25 and up look in the mirror these days, most can find one or two things they would like to improve about their appearance. In fact, according to a new survey of over 1,000 American women commissioned by Syneron Medical, the pioneer and market leader in body shaping technologies, fewer than one in ten women (8 percent) are very satisfied with their current appearance 1. So what improvements on the face or body ranked the highest on women's wish list today? Seven in ten (70 percent) women admit they are most worried about developing a tummy bulge now and in the future (66 percent), as opposed to long reigning champion - wrinkles and/or fine lines, now (50 percent), and in the future (57 percent) 2. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111107/NY99332LOGO ) "It has been a long-held belief that a flawless complexion represents youth and beauty. With the rise of pop culture and the focus on shapely bodies, this perception has shifted beyond a perfect face to include the perfect body as well," said Tina Alster, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C. "Fortunately, most American women today are conditioned to believe that living a healthy lifestyle yields many rewards in appearance, both for the face and the body. But for many women, despite avoidance of carbs and regular exercise, there remain certain body areas that still trouble them. Losing that last inch or two – from the muffin tops or saddle bags – can really boost a woman's confidence—that's where treatments like VelaShape® can help." American women's perception of their bodies is a year round concern, in or out of clothes. In fact, 73 percent of ladies admit that if they were to come into some money, they would be more likely to invest in a better body shape before a designer wardrobe 3. "Having designed luxury apparel for women of all shapes and sizes for over thirty years, my designs accentuate a woman's best assets while minimizing flaws," says Rickie Freeman, founder and CEO of Teri Jon®, known for her collection of timeless curve-hugging special occasion dresses. "Even the most beautiful gown won't make a difference if you're not confident in your own body." Together VelaShape® and Rickie Freeman have partnered to introduce the Little Vela Dress (LVD) Campaign to empower women to feel confident in the most fashion forward wardrobe staple for the holidays: the little black dress. "The Little Black Dress is so versatile, it can take you from a power breakfast through the day and into a night on the town with style," says Rickie. "The Little Black Dress is a timeless style that appeals across many generations. Today the LBD is often cut shorter and fits tighter. VelaShape® can help women love their bodies even more." During the LVD campaign, VelaShape® will host a "Little Vela Dress Facebook Makeover Contest." Participants will be asked to take a picture of themselves in their own Little Black Dress and tell VelaShape® what areas of their body they love—and which ones they'd like to improve - to transform their LBD into the perfect LVD.

Strategies To Get You Home On Time! #Teacherproblems
Improve Your Teaching Habits
About a year ago, I started to really think about all the time as educators that we spend in our classrooms. Well as you know the amount of hours we spend unpaid in the classroom exceeds any other job. I decided that the following school year I would make a change. I wanted to regain my own life back.
This is more than just wanting to have extra time to get dinner with a friend or catch a television show. I wanted to be able to pursue other ideas and work on things that benefit my life. This includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reading informational books and working on my blog.
I am going to dedicate quite a few of my next blog posts to giving ideas/ suggestions that are working for me. These posts will not only inspire you to start leaving work on time but also show you that you can still be an amazing teacher while doing it!
Alarms Are Your Best Friend
Let's flashback to my first year of teaching. It was a scary time in my life. I was staying until the custodians were literally kicking me out to alarm the building. I was leaving physically and emotionally drained. I still felt unprepared and my lack of sleep added no help.
I was a mess!
As years passed, I was no longer staying until the custodians kicked me out but I was still staying way past my contracted hours. I would come home too tired to exercise and way too tired to cook.
Keeping that in mind, here is my first strategy to getting you home on time. It may seem easy but you really have to stick to it.
Set an alarm!
You will be surprised every time it goes off, reminding you it is time to go home. Start by just having it go off a half hour earlier than you usually go home. See if it helps. Then you can set the alarm earlier as you progress.
Remember you can't do everything.
I know that is what you are thinking when I told you to set an alarm. What about the science investigation, new seats and organizing my files?
I promise you will get to it!
We will talk more about how to accomplish everything you are leaving behind and how to work the most efficient in the next few blogs. 🙂
A Good Anchor Chart To Demonstrate Including The Question In The Answer… From Teaching With A Mountain View (Blog)
Math Tools For Reference!
Utilize parent help
Many of us always have parents asking, "What can I do to help?"
Give them a weekly job that you can always count on. It will be a routine for them so after the first time, they won't need your help and it helps gets a task done for you.
At our school we have Wednesday folders that upcoming events and flyers for the students. I keep it all in a basket by my door so that a mom can pick it up Wednesday and stuff the folders. This saves me an extra half hour out of my day.
I also label all my copies Thursday and Friday morning A mom comes and picks them up. She makes my copies for the following week so I am prepped and ready. This saves about another hour.
You can also use them to organize books, file papers and cut your laminate.
You just have to not be afraid to ask!

|My only clear complaint is after signing up my children online pre-boarding AND in the orientation meeting after boarding got us NO privledge on the first morning of programs. When we went to drop the children off at 10am on our first day at sea there was a ridiculous line where parents and children were anxious and stressed. Children who wouldn't normally get upset at drop off (mine) were crying because other kids were crying and clinging to their parents. I had to wait in this disgusting line twice to drop off both kids because they were not in the same age group. Once the kids were in and registered they had a blast! If I were to do it again I would pre-register online, make an appearance at Camp Carnival on the first night (late dining doesn't allow for this easily) and then drop the kids off on the first day an hour or more after they open to let all the mess of lines and crying and carrying on subside.

Re: Another strange bug in Mathematica 4.0's Integrate
It's funny what the CA-fans argue and don't admit that a bug is a bug.
If I put in
this is a well defined expression in terms of a real integral. The
square root is positive because the principle value is realised

Keeping up with your mindfulness practice is not an easy task when you are overwhelmed with a busy work schedule.
I work for a remote digital company, Inspiral Studio, and I spend most of my time swamped with deadlines. So, trust me when I say I understand how it feels to be busy. However, our company recognizes the importance of work-life balance, and practicing mindfulness on a daily basis is pivotal to keeping the balance afloat.
From one meeting to another, it's difficult to keep up if you are constantly on the go. But the fact is, spending a short time—at least five minutes a day—sitting in stillness helps us to destress and stay focused with our tasks.
With the rise of meditation apps, you can easily find different types of guided meditation to help you with your practice. You can do it at your work desk, in a car, a praying room—wherever you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Below are five of my favorite meditation apps to help me keep up with my practice in the midst of a hectic schedule.
Who's it for?
Meditation beginners.
Headspace is a great app to help you start with your practice, especifally if you've new to meditation. Once you sign up, it will guide you through your first 10 days of meditation for free. Each practice is 10 minutes long. After the 10-day trial period you can choose to subscribe if you're interested in continuing your practice.
Complete with quirky animations, Headspace has hundreds of hours of original subscription-based meditation content from health and performance to relationships to cater to your diverse needs. You can also track your progress to make sure you don't miss a day.
How much?
The app and the first 10 days are free, followed by $12.95 for a monthly subscription or $419.95 for lifetime access.
Available for iOS and Android
Those who want a detailed lesson about meditation.
1 Giant Mind offers meditation course for beginners. It aims to combat the negative impacts of stress and improve your health and wellbeing. You'll start with a "12-step" practice to learn the A to Z, and you can continue on from there with 30 day challenges.
Side note: The meditation is not guided, but the explanation presented before the session is usually very detailed to help beginners expand their knowledge on the topic.
How much?
Free app and free content.
Available for iOS and Android
For nature enthusiasts.
If soothing nature sounds and visuals is something you enjoy, Calm is the right fit for you. You'll feel yourself transported as if you're meditating in a rainforest, on a mountain peak, or by the beach with Calm's soothing background noise. The sounds are very realistic—and calming (hence the name!)—so be careful not to snooze off while you're meditating.
In addition, Calm also provides various scenes and meditation programs that you can commit to depending on your preference.
How much?
Free app or monthly subscription for premium content priced at $9.99/month.
Available for iOS and Android
Those who want to include spiritual teachings with meditation.
What I love about Insight Timer is their endless (and free!) spiritual content from well-known meditation teachers that you can easily browse and stream from their library. From "Chakra Cleansing" to "Reuniting with your Twin Flame," Insight Timer has it all.
You can also choose your favorite guided meditation based on the duration. For a short meditation that you can do on your lunch break, head to the 6–10 minutes category.
How much?
Free app download and free content.
Available for iOS and Android
For those who have a tendency to curse like sailors.
After the success of "F*ck That: An Honest Meditation" video, Jason Headley came back with a new app that helps us to amplify our zen through a series of swear words. Don't expect to find a single "namaste" in the script. At first I was laughing throughout, but after five minutes or so, I felt surprisingly more relaxed.
It feels great to finally breathe in strength and breathe out "bullsh*t."
How much?
$1.99 one-time fee.
Available for iOS and Android

City of Munich, Germany
Munich is the capital city of Bavaria, Germany. It is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Franz Josef Strauss International Airport is Germany's second largest airport. The airport began operations in 1992, replacing the former main airport, the Munich-Riem airport.
The Peterskirche is the oldest church of the inner city, which was first built during the Romanesque period. Heiliggeistkirche (The Church of the Holy Spirit) was converted to baroque style from 1724 onwards and looks down upon the Viktualienmarkt, the most popular market of Munich. The Frauenkirche is the most famous building in the city centre and serves as cathedral for the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.
The Deutsches Museum, located on an island in the River Isar, is one of the oldest and largest science museums in the world. The city has several important art galleries, most of which can be found in the Kunstareal, including the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, and the Pinakothek der Moderne. The Kunstareal will be further augmented by the completion of the Egyptian Museum. An important collection of Greek and Roman art is held in the Glyptothek and the Staatliche Antikensammlung (State Antiquities Collection).
Munich is a major European cultural centre and has played host to many prominent composers. The National theatre is the home of the Bavarian State Opera and the Bavarian State Orchestra.
Munich is a green city with numerous parks. The Englischer Garten, close to the city centre is larger than Central Park in New York and the city's oldest park is the Hofgarten, dating back to the 16th century. Best known for the largest beer garden in the town is the former royal Hirschgarten. Munich is famous for its breweries and the Weissbier (wheat beer) is a speciality from Bavaria. There are around 20 major beer gardens, with four of the most famous and popular being located in the Englischer Garten.

Consumer credit decreased at an annual rate of 10-1/2 percent in July 2009. Revolving credit decreased at an annual rate of 8 percent, and nonrevolving credit decreased at an annual rate of 11-3/4 percent.This report describes the full non real estate consumer lending space – securitized, loans from finance companies, government lending, as well as commercial bank, credit union, and saving institutions lending - it's much bigger than the Fed's commercial bank weekly lending series. This month, the broad drop in credit was a shock to the downside, but not unexpected given that the unemployment rate is more than double that which the CBO deems to be the long-run level (see the NAIRU level of unemployment, 4.8%).
On a seasonally adjusted basis, total consumer credit tumbled at a 7.1% 3-month annualized pace (a little more smoothed than the monthly series).
The chart illustrates the 3-month annualized growth rate of consumer credit (total = revolving + non-revolving) and the unemployment rate. The negative correlation is very strong during periods when the unemployment rate is rising quickly - this time around is no exception.
Why is consumer credit falling? Is it due to tight lending standards? Or rather is it precipitously falling consumers demand for credit? That information is not available in the data, however, the Federal Reserve's Senior Loan Officer Survey an increasing share of banks reported falling demand for consumer credit in the second quarter of 2009. Standards are still tightening, but a falling share of banks report having done so.
My bet's that the demand-side is driving the credit at this point in the cycle. But I have also argued that the revolving credit lines (i.e., credit cards) took a hit in response to recent credit card regulation. As an anecdote, I saw two of my cards canceled for inactivity, and others have seen their credit limits slashed. Would I have used those cards had they not been canceled? Point: in some cases, consumers are being forced to reduce revolving credit.
It's all about the labor market and renewed confidence. As the domestic stimulus further underpins the economy, and as the US reaps the benefits of big, big global stimulus, confidence will, more likely than not, re-emerge.

Vienna, Europe's cultural capital and a metropolis with a unique charm and flair, will provide the backdrop for my first Food Photography and Styling Workshop in 2015. We start in style this year!
Together with my colleague Jeanne Horak-Druiff, who will co-instruct with me and the lovely Monika Kogler who will be our host, I am very excited to have a fantastic and very competent team for this workshop.

For the first day we will house ourselves in a fantastic studio and kitchen where we will not only work on the theory of food photography, hands-on exercises and assignments, but Monika will also be spoiling us with typical homemade Viennese dishes. The studio with it's many large windows and plenty of natural light provides the ideal venue for our lessons and the state of the art equipped kitchen allows us to enjoy convivial meals together.
Day two will be an active one as we take you to the famous Naschmarkt and the vintage market for your photography assignments, where you will have the opportunity to take impressive market shots and also buy some amazing vintage props ;) To round off the day, a coffee house visit in a more modern locality at the Naschmarkt will offer another photo opportunity for our restaurant photo shoot.
It is important for us that the participants who visit the workshops have an all round experience and while we plan to work intensively on honing your skills in the food photography area we have also tailored the 2 days in such a way so that there will be plenty of entertainment too. We hope to provide you with challenging exercises covering the basic and advanced food styling and photography techniques as well as hands-on intensive assignments, individual guidance and critique from the instructors. There will be sessions on natural lighting, detailed presentations on styling, creating moods, props, post-processing and saving your images and we will focus on low-light photography, giving you tips and ideas of how to master your camera in low-light situations.

Sounds awesome but its a little short notice for me. Will you be having more of these courses throughout the summer? I hope so :-)
edit: Man, I just read your website. Where were you 2 weeks ago when I was looking for a good place to take my conceal carry class? I paid $50 for a course that didn't teach me a thing about Virginia's CHP laws--it barely taught me anything new...and I'm a relatively new shooter. I'd definitely be interested in taking Basic Pistol course though(at a later date).

The University of Arizona College Republicans remember the live lost 12 years. A group of young conservatives gathered to construct a memorial near the University student union. The memorial, which read "9/11 Never Forget" spurred thought and reflection from many students as they remembered the thousands of American's who lost their lives. "It's great to see something like this." Said one student. "People often forget what happened and this is an incredible way to remind them."

Congratulations to Ben Buehler-Garcia and Mike Polak!
Congratulations and all good wishes to Ben Buehler-Garcia and Mike Polak, both GOP candidates for the Tucson City Council, 2013.
Mike is facing Richard Fimbres in Ward 3. Ben's opponent is Karin Uhlich, both in Ward 5. Mike and Ben want to encourage businesses to come to Tucson because small businesses provide jobs and prosperity in Pima County.
A reminder: ALL registered voters in the city of Tucson can vote for these two Republican candidates. Voting is city-wide and not restricted to the various wards.
On to victory in November!

Remember a few weeks ago .......
Remember a few weeks ago when Obama wanted to downsize the Marine Corps and Army to save money? Well, now the US is scrambling to find Marines for possible operations in Libya because the USMC is already stretched thin by Afghan operations. Mr. President, do you think downsizing is such a good idea?
Friday, February 25, 2011
I bet if Gaddafi threatened "The Unions" Obama would be all over this.
American lives are threatened in Libya and Obama is more worried about "The Assault on Unions." Italian and British C 130's (American made military aircraft) are evacuating their people. Greek and Turkish ships are evacuating 1,000s of their citizens. The US, meanwhile, hires a ferry that can't set sail because the seas are too rough.
If Ronald Reagan or George Bush were president, there would be a carrier task force off Libya's coast evacuating our citizens. I guess those 168 American citizens were not union members so The President of the United States can't be bothered?

Border security is not about illegal immigrants looking for jobs
Border security is about protecting Americans from the civil war taking place in Mexico. A couple of days ago two Americans - federal agents were gunned down in Mexico City by drug lords. Yesterday Fox News reported on the Mexican military conducting car searches on U.S. soil. Meanwhile, Sheriff Babeu is fielding fully armed SWAT team officers to stop drug cartel members. Yet, what has Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano done? NOTHING! I suggest she do her job first before running for senator.

The Middle East totters on the edge as radical Muslims threaten to take control of Egypt...
And, what is Obama doing - cancelling the Marines' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (a modern combination of tank and amphibious vehicle) and cutting back on the number of modern tanks in our inventory. Meanwhile, Egypt has one of the biggest tank forces in the Middle East and their main battle tank is the M1 Abrams – the same one the US Army uses. We may not be able stop the unrest in Egypt, but we must be prepared to defend our interests and the security of Israel if the worse occurs.
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
I wasted part of last night watching Obama's hypocritical State of the Union Speech.
How do we "out build the world" with onerous EPA regulations? He attacks banks and oil companies, but says he is pro jobs. He says "we are behind on education" but he doesn't want to hold teachers accountable. He wants energy independence but makes it harder to drill for oil. He wants to cut spending, but he talks about spending more on "investments." If he is serious about cuts, start by disbanding the EPA. We need actions, not words!

Starting barrier
A starting barrier ensures a fair start to races such as horse races or dog races.
Horse racing
Throughout the history of horse racing, there have been proposals as to how better to start a race. A commonly used starting system for horse races was devised in the mid nineteenth century by Admiral Rous, a steward of the Jockey Club and public handicapper. A starter, standing alongside the jockeys and horses, dropped his flag to signal the start. An assistant some 100 yards down the course raised a second flag to indicate false starts.[1]
An official starter might be well paid, but his duties were very demanding. Early in the twentieth century, he was supported by perhaps a single assistant who primed the spring-barrier, as well as the clerk of the course. In the present day there are many attendants to steady runners from super-structured barrier stalls.[1]
Modern barrier
Modern Starting gates used in Australia now include Auto start. This innovation allows the starter to concentrate on the actual horses positioning during the "score up".
The modern Starting gates use only a driver for steering the vehicle and a starter in the rear to observe the race and call a false start if required. The start speed, acceleration, score up distance, and gate closing are controlled via a computer system, which takes control of the vehicle and provides a printout at the end of the score up.
The most widely used starting gate in Australia today is the AVA Integrity Mobile barrier http://www.avaintegrity.com
Strand barrier
The horse racing starting barrier was pioneered in Australia and was first used at an official race meeting in 1894.[2] Alexander Gray's single-strand barrier was among those first used. Versions of barriers designed by Alexander and Reuben Gray, were installed at race tracks in Australia and overseas between 1894 and about 1932. Barriers assured fair starts to races. Fair race starts encouraged owners to enter horses in races and punters to bet, and they contributed to changing horse racing from a social sporting event into a billion dollar industry.
Alexander Gray had concluded that the flapping of a starter's flag distracted the horses. An impetus for his invention was a £5 fine received by his son, Reuben, a jockey, for allowing his mount to step over the white chalk line that marked the start. His machine was first tried out at Canterbury Park Racecourse in New South Wales in February 1894. The prototype consisted of a single strand of wire at about the height of the horse's head that was attached to a spring at either end. When the device was activated the barrier sprang up and away from the horses. By the 1920s the single strand barrier had evolved into a spring-powered five-strand device designed by Johnstone and Gleeson, but based on Gray's prototype, that resembled a strongman's chest expander.[1]
Barrier stalls
The transportable starting machine was imported from the United States to Australia in 1946.
It wasn't until 1965 that starting stalls were introduced by the Jockey Club to horseracing in the United Kingdom.[3]
Harness racing
One of the reasons that harness racing is less popular than horse racing has been the reservations in gamblers' minds about the various means of starting trotting races, particularly when bets have been lost before contests were properly under way.[1]
Most harness races start from behind a motorized starting gate. The horses line up behind a hinged gate mounted on a motor vehicle which then takes them to the starting line. At the starting line the wings of the gate are folded up and the vehicle accelerates away from the horses. The other kind of start to race is a standing start, where there are tapes across the track and the horses stand stationary behind the tapes before the start. This enables handicaps to be placed on horses according to class. Some European, Australian and New Zealand races start using tapes.

Many women schedule abortion procedures as soon as they find out they are pregnant. Statistics say that up to 30% of early pregnancies may end in miscarriage1, which means that an abortion may not be necessary if the pregnancy is not viable or living. Viability can be determined through an ultrasound or sonogram.
Sonograms can be done at seven weeks past the last menstrual period. Prior to that time, it is not always clear whether the pregnancy is living or not. Women who take the time to wait and have a sonogram done, may find that the abortion is not necessary.
Free, pre-abortion ultrasounds may be scheduled by calling any of our clinics. Finding out this information can be helpful in your decision to have an abortion.

General manager Dean Lombardi also remembers the bad old days after Gretzky left and before the Kings became competitive again, a period in which they missed the playoffs for six consecutive years between 2003 and 2010.
"I'd scout games here when I was working for Philadelphia, and there was unbelievable rabid passion in that upper bowl," said Lombardi. "I thought, 'these people are crazy, because the team wasn't very good, and yet the people there were still going nuts.' "So there was clearly a niche of hard-core fans here – and when I first came here and did the town halls and such, it was clear they knew what they were talking about and they'd had enough and so you weren't going to fool them talking about this, that and the other thing.
"But I think what you see now, you go down to Manhattan Beach and the bridge is already decorated in Kings' colours. Even my neighbours, who didn't know who I was, they now know our players' names. The guy at the gas station comes up and says, 'man that (Tyler) Toffoli's a good player.' That's different from when we won it.
"But it still comes down to what we always say, 'you have to give them a good product.' Even the Gretzky era, it never had any staying power. After that one year (1993), it went down in a heartbeat."
The trick will be to sustain their current level of excellence, which has seen them win 38 playoff games over the past three years, most in the NHL over that span. But the nucleus of the team – Kopitar, Quick, centre Jeff Carter and defenceman Drew Doughty are all still in or approaching their primes and signed to long-term contracts.
The only downside to their increasing popularity is that the Kings' players can no longer move around town with the same sort of anonymity as before, which was one of the perks of playing in a non-traditional market.
"That's changed drastically – and I don't know if I like it better or not," said Doughty, who paused to think and then added: "I for sure don't like it better, actually. We'll go out for dinner – the beards we all have don't help – but back in the day we could just pretty much roll in anywhere, and there's no way anyone would know who you were, no possible way.
"And now it seems like everywhere we do go, we are getting recognized. It's kind of more like Canada, when you're back in home in Canada. It's great because we're bringing more fans to the game; we're making hockey a presence in California. That was kind of the bonus of playing here too – you could do what you wanted and not get in trouble for it."
Still, given the alternatives, this is better than before.
"I'd rather have the problem and be a winner," concluded Doughty, "than not have the problem and lose."Report Typo/Error

Pound Soars versus the USD and EUR
The British Pound climbed 1.8% versus the Dollar on Thursday, as the cross jumped to $1.6398 from $1.5975 late Wednesday. The Pound also jumped versus the EUR, sending the shared currency down 1.8% by yesterday's close.
The Pound experienced its first weekly gain in a month versus the USD on optimism that the Bank of England (BOE) will suspend the asset purchases program, after Paul Fisher, an official with the Bank of England, signaled satisfaction with the impact of the central bank's money creating quantitative easing program. Since this program is essentially flooding the market with Pound Sterling by printing currency, the program has weighed on the GBP. The anticipated ceasing of the program in the coming months is likely to boost demand for the Pound.
The EUR dipped against the Dollar on Thursday, despite speculations that the European Central Bank (ECB) officials will signal today that the bank may begin withdrawing unconventional policy measures, which will boost demand for higher-yielding assets. With Trade Balance data being the only release expected from the Euro-Zone today at 09:00 GMT, the EUR's movements will likely be affected by the data releases coming from the U.S.

Anthony, Miller lead Nuggets to third straight winNov 15, 2006 - 3:22 AM MIAMI (Ticker) -- Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets are enjoying their East Coast swing.
Anthony scored 33 points and Andre Miller added a season-high 29, 10 assists and eight rebounds as the Nuggets won their third straight game with a 112-105 victory over the shorthanded Miami Heat, who wasted a huge performance by Dwyane Wade.
After dropping the first three games of the season, Denver has won three straight to begin its four-game road trip. Anthony is averaging 33 points per game during this streak.
"A week ago the media had us buried, now we're good," Denver coach George Karl said. "I'm not going to say that when we lost that third game that I thought we were going to come in here and win, but I didn't think we were that far away from winning."
"We're keeping it rolling now," Anthony said. "If we can keep our momentum going for the rest of this road trip, if we can get all four of these games, then we've done our job."
Miller drained a jumper and fed Anthony for a two-handed alley-oop jam to cap an impressive 13-2 surge with 6:20 remaining as the Nuggets built a 95-85 advantage.
"He (Miller) had a huge night. He's really picked up his game over the last year and a half, but (Tuesday) he was huge," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "He was driving, he was making plays and making jumpers."
Wade finished with a season-best 37 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. It was the third time he has eclipse the 30-point plateau this season.
"There are no excuses," Wade said. "Whoever is on the floor has to go out there and win ballgames."
Marcus Camby had 15 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks for the Nuggets, who shot 45 percent (40-of-89) from the field and won their last three meetings against the Heat. Antoine Walker scored 22 points before fouling out late in the fourth period for Miami, which shot 44 percent (34-of-77) and was outscored, 54-36, in the paint.
The Heat were without center Shaquille O'Neal, who sat out with a bruised left knee suffered in Sunday's loss vs. Houston. He has missed three games this season and is listed as day-to-day.
In the first quarter, J.R. Smith's alley-oop to Anthony gave Denver a commanding 19-4 lead with just over five minutes left. The 6-8 Anthony scored eight points in the run.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Self-defense has become its own industry in the United States. New seminars, martial-arts studios, books and videos pop up every day offering the latest and greatest techniques and strategies for people to defend themselves. While many of these options do provide a very legitimate service, depending on what your needs are, they can also be very expensive and time-consuming. Here are several easy self-defense weapons you can cheaply make yourself in minutes. These weapons can cause extreme harm and are very dangerous when used improperly, so caution and discretion are advised.
Things You'll Need
- 2 tbsp. hot red pepper powder
- 2 drinking glasses
- Rubbing alcohol
- Spoon
- Baby oil
- Paper coffee filter
- Squirt bottle
- Sock
- Roll of quarters
- Cigarette lighter
- Hairspray
- Pen
Place two tbsp. of hot red pepper into a drinking glass and add enough rubbing alcohol to completely cover the pepper by about 1 cm. Mix thoroughly with a spoon and grind it together for seven to ten minutes. (A blender also works but is not necessary.)
Squirt enough baby oil into the mixture to raise the level of the glass by another half cm. Mix again for another five minutes by either vigorously stirring it or by covering the top of the glass and shaking it.
Cover the second glass with the coffee filter and slowly pour the solution into it so that it filters through the coffee filter and into the second glass.
Pour the filtered solution into a small spray bottle (a lens-cleaner bottle works really well) and tightly seal it. You can carry it easily in a purse or pocket and use it as an effective deterrent against attackers. Shake the bottle occasionally to keep the solution properly mixed.
Place a roll of quarters into a sock and then roll the sock up so that it will unroll when you pull on the end of it. Hide the sock in a purse or a pocket, so you can use it against an attacker by swinging it at his head or ribs. The longer the sock, the more effective it is, because it allows you to strike from a greater distance. A padlock attached to a dog leash is an effective alternative to this option.
Use a lighter to create a flame and then spray it with hairspray in the direction of your assailant to create a short-distance flame thrower. It is easily concealable in a purse and can blind or disable a potential attacker. Be careful the can itself is not too close to the flame to avoid combustion.
Use pens as stabbing weapons during an attack. Target soft tissue in the abdomen or even the eye if the situation is life-threatening. A rat tail comb is an effective alternative as well and can be used in exactly the same manner for self-defense.
Related Searches
Tips & Warnings
- Use these weapons only as a last resort. Escape the situation without using them if you are safely able to do so.
- Each of these weapons could cause severe injury or even death. Use at your own risk and never practice using them on anybody. These devices are for self-defense purposes only.

Born in the Top end of australia – Darwin, in the Northern territory then living in a town called "Batchelor" .. 60 miles south of Darwin for the first 7 years of my life .
I was lucky enough to have the "bush" as my playground as a child growing up .. bush lifestyle gave me a definite respect for the land ,it's creatures /inhabitants and also gave me a real sense of curiousity for all things pertaining to nature and creation in general.
watching some indigenous artists painting on our lounge room wall as a youngster was really awe inspiring and I beleive this gave me my first insights into the magic of art! ..so thankyou to those aboriginal men..and my father for asking them to do art on our walls!
I have lived in Dandenong Victoria Australia ..for the past 38 years and I paint on canvas, wood, ceramics , furniture.. anything that I can find.. anything that would hold some paint,
I've been in a small number of group exhibitions both in melbourne and sydney and have won some minor encouragement and honourable mention awards when I was in my 20's
I rarely enter any competitions or exhibitions these days…it's been difficult for me to paint at all these past 16 years due to some personal family traumas and stresses.
I have a very supportive family though where my art is concerned…they keep me in paints and canvas when times get tough.
I've had just one solo exhibition ,in a place called "The old cheese factory" in the 1990's it was a public art gallery here in victoria which was a gorgeous old world looking building made of wood and stone.. all very enjoyable…maybe it didn't give me the monetary gain that I needed and wanted but emotionally it was very exciting..and I was proud of my great efforts to get the exhibition together..The exhibition was a success in lots of ways .
I paint the visions/ideas in my head..they can come to me at any time .. I usually paint entirely from my imagination, and rarely paint in any other way , though occasionally, , I might go outside and try to paint what I see in the garden or try to paint a scene that has impressed me from a camping trip or a bush walk …nature is so inspiring..so wonderful and the only place where I find true peace in this strange world. .
I have many different styles of painting and use many different paints and techniques from pencil and ink to charcoal, oils and acrylics ..house paint even..yes ,house paint is great !
my favourite paint is matisse or Atelier Acrylic ( when I can afford to buy them)because of their brilliant colours and quick drying time..enabling my thoughts or visions to be trapped on the canvas at lightening speed .I've been told that I have great originality and a diverse variation in style…cool ..and thankyou !
my work is my own…I don't copy from other peoples works. I am 58 years old..and have been painting on and off for over 40 years ..My latest "batch" of paintings..and my newest "sessions" have revealed some interesting ideas around angelic beings , and some paintings of the earth and her natural beauty.
I have many Interests.. like reading, especially a certain book called "A course in miracles" which has helped and inspired me for more than 15 years now .. I also like to read and study about manifesting our desires at a quicker rate…sometimes it works..sometimes it doesn't….ha ha!!!
I also love fossiking for shells and old bits of junk that people would think of as "mainly rubbish".. I also like to " treasure hunt".. and loved to gold pan at "Eldorado" victoria in the beechworth area ..a great spot and beautiful environment to be at one with nature.I am extremely interested in the UFO phenomenon.. for as long as I can remember and after seeing a strange light in the sky in 1993.. where 7 of us were watching the sky that night. we witnessed the strangest craft we ever saw.. this set the stage for an all consuming hobby…I watch the skies a lot these days.
I painted some UFO's and alien type creatures after witnessing this strange light .
though in reality I have never seen any Aliens.. ( well maybe just one) I feel sure that I've met a few humans who could be straight from another planet..LOL !
I hope to make a living from what I do best..and that is painting ..but you know I think that an artists path is rather a hard road to travel..and sometimes the artist is not recognized as offering a valuable commodity to society.. and we are often thought of as either bad, mad or both !
I think this attitude is quite wrong ..and that Artists are pretty straight talking people ..they are well grounded for the most part and the most valuable contributers to "Life" In the world..we can be an Underrated lot and are looked upon as slightly strange in that we are usually quite sensitive about many things that others would not be sensitive about.. and we are all rather " intuitive" I think.. artists are mysterious, loving, curious and and sometimes rather eccentric compared to the rest of society..but artists are such a beautiful bunch of people ..well the ones I've met, and that's quite a lot… are just fabulous!
I think we should pat ourselves on the back from time to time because we add so much interest and beauty to this world even if it often goes unrecognized.
thanks for listening to me ramble..but painting is the only thing that I do well in this world..so I feel that I have a right to crow about that one achievement.
if you need to contact me via email about any of my paintings or pottery then my address is firstname.lastname@example.com

Paul Winter's Annual Winter Solstice Celebration
Saxophonist Paul Winter returns with his Winter Solstice Celebration, a festive performance marking the year's longest night and the return of the sun. Since 1980, the concert has drawn thousands of visitors annually to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Upper Manhattan.
As always, Winter is backed by the Paul Winter Consort, the group he formed in 1967 after a U.S. State Department-sponsored tour of Latin America sparked a lifelong fascination with world music. Winter's soprano sax echoes throughout the world's largest Gothic cathedral, leading a spectacle of music, dance and theater.
International guest artists are a regular part of the Winter Solstice Celebration, and this year is no exception. Winter welcomes special guests Ivan Lins and Renato Braz, both of whom are renowned Brazilian singers and composers. They're joined by gospel singer Theresa Thomason, along with a Brazilian chorus made up of Alice Passos, Leala Cyr and Sara Serpa.
This year's program also features a tribute to the late Pete Seeger, who performed in the eighth annual Winter Solstice Celebration and worked closely with Winter for many years.
Airs Wednesday, December 21 from 10pm - 12am on 93.9FM

Target: Percy Schmeiser
Goal: To thank farmer for countersuing and winning lawsuit against Monsanto, the largest producer of genetically modified organisms.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are harmful, manmade organisms that are destroying the environment and likely jeopardizing human health. Monsanto, the world's leader in genetic modification of seeds, sues farmers repeatedly for patent infringement to put them out of business. Thank farmer Percy Schmeiser for standing up to Monsanto and countersuing, winning a major victory for natural food, the environment, and public health.
Percy Schmeiser of Saskatchewan, Canada has been growing canola on his farm for over 40 years and uses seeds from his previous harvest to replant new crops. One year, he was sued for $400,000 by agricultural biotech company Monsanto for patent infringement because his land was contaminated with the patented GMO crop, Roundup Ready Canola. Even though he never had planted these GMO seeds, the seeds are easily carried to non-GMO farms by winds or transported by normal pollen migration. Monsanto has sued countless numbers of other North American farmers whose farmlands had been accidentally contaminated with its GMO seeds. Many family-owned and organic farms have gone bankrupt from legal fees and court costs, or from lost sales because of all the time invested in court.
Percy Schmeiser decided to fight Monsanto head-on. Amidst threats and constant visits by Monsanto "investigators" on his farm, Mr. Schmeiser countersued Monsanto for libel, trespassing, improperly obtaining samples of his seed from a local seed plant and contamination of his crops with genetically engineered plants. After 10 years of a court battle before the Federal Court of Canada, Monsanto settled out of court and paid for all cleanup costs. Unlike previous court cases where Monsanto had been able to effectively implement a gag order, Mr. Schmeiser would be able to talk freely about the case and would be able to sue Monsanto again if recontamination occurred.
Spending his life savings and draining his trust account to fight this multibillion dollar behemoth, Mr. Percy Schmeiser proved that Davids can still win against Goliaths. Please sign the petition below thanking this courageous farmer for standing up to this corrupt corporation and for getting a victory for people everywhere.
Dear Mr. Percy Schmeiser,
Thank you so much for standing up to Monsanto's evil bullying tactics of filing frivolous lawsuits against farmers to bankrupt them and shut down their businesses. Destroying the environment and risking public health with its GMOs, Monsanto is a corrupt corporation that must be stopped. Your courage and bravery in the midst of threats and financial loss is admirable.
A hero in the food movement, you fought back against this biotechnology firm that is trying to control our food supply. Standing up for your rights was a stand for farmers' rights everywhere. Your decision to fight Monsanto in a countersuit no matter what the cost is commendable. Thank you for fighting for farmer's rights, food rights, environmental rights and public health rights.

Like Leeds United, only playing better football, the Greens have fallen from their high estate in the 90s, when under the great Bobby Hope they finished second in the Conference. Since then they've been reduced to the Southern League Midland Division, playing against much smaller teams. Bring back Alan Craddock and Chris Hooper say I. Much internal politicking and bad feeling means they don't currently seem to have a website, but there is a Supporters site and an unofficial forum.
They've just beaten Willenhall Town 2-1 after extra time in the playoff final, and are promoted to the SL Premier division, from which promotion back to the Conference is possible.
Congratulations to the lads, to manager Rod Brown, and to Sam Allsop for the equaliser and Jermaine Clarke for the winner.
