Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Homemade Baked Beans
What cookout or casual gathering would be complete without baked beans? Homemade ones are not difficult to make and taste ever so much better than canned. Like most things you make yourself, they are less expensive than canned or deli varieties. I make them a day ahead, starting them in the evening and cooking all night.
This recipe was adapted from The Fanny Farmer Cookbook, which called for parboiling and baking, but I make them in a Crockpot. (1977 was the year of the Crockpot--we received 3 of them as wedding presents! I still have the same Crockpot and husband, for that matter.)
"The Tax Man Cometh" and Some People Cheer
I thought this article fitting for the days just before our nations July 4th birthday. I find it so ironic that our colonists had to fight a revolutionary war to fight against the tyranny of high taxes and for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness only to have a huge number of Americans either totally apathetic or embracing "Change." That Change of course being a leader promoting the greatest tax hike in American history.
Offshore Drilling Doesn't Always = Oil Spills
When I think of oil spills, my mind goes immediately to the Exxon Valdez. Remember that one? In my mind's eye I can still see volunteers trying to wash off animals and rocks with toothbrushes and Dawn detergent.
1989 Exxon Valdez ran aground on a reef off of Alaska, it was a case of drunk driving!
God, Gumption, and Guns Served Our Country Well
Ever think about where our country would be without God, Gumption, and Guns?
Imagine our Minute Men without guns. Our Supreme Court almost outlawed our right to bear arms
Girl Scouts Continue Left Leanings
I was a Girl Scout from grade school Brownies to Girl Scout, to Cadet, to Mariner in High School. On my honor I will try to do my duty for God and my country and to obey the Girl Scout Laws. We had a lot of fun and learned things too. We dabbled in making pottery, English horseback riding lessons, did a service project or two, and just had good plain fun.
That oath no longer exists. God was taken out of the oath in 19 and now Girl Scouting is becoming something aout an inner Journey.
Town's Aldi's Approved, UNANIMOUSLY!
How about that turn around? I noticed on Community Watch the Town of Brookfield approved Aldi's! Unanimously!
The Town Board listened to both the public and Aldi's officials and gave the project a chance. (The lawsuit filed on June 4th by Timothy Timmerman, director of operations for mall owner Janacek Investments, probably got the board's attention too!)
If You Are Cutting Through, At Least Drive 25!
Council OKs new traffic-calming policy Lisa Mellone brought this up at our district meeting. She said it works. Hey, I am all in favor of something that works.
Every work day the traffic parade begins like clockwork at about 5pm. Car after car heads east on my usually quiet street. They are not doing the speed limit.
Animal Emergency Center: Open 24 Hours, 7 Days a Week
Seems kids and pets always get sick in the evening, on the weekend, or worse yet, on a holiday. We've been blessed never to have needed the emergency room for our son, but our little pooch, Zipper, is another story.
We're Slipping Fast, Now We're Nearly All Disabled
Congress just passed a bill that counts nearly every malady as disabled worker status. Why? Because this bill was potentially less damaging than one under a Obama Presidency and Dem ruled house and senate. Francifiying the US look for McKenna link
Happy Birthday America, May You Ever Be Great and Good
Alexis de Tocqueville, a French nobleman and political scientist, came
to America in 1831, seeking to find just what made America so great.
This is what he said:
"I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution."
Alexis did not find the cause for America's greatness in any of those
assets. It was not until he visited America's churches and heard the
preaching of righteousness therein did he, "understand the secret of
her genius and power".
He concluded: "America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
Alexis' summation of our country was Scripturally sound. Proverbs 14:34 says, "Doing what is right makes a nation great, but sin will bring disgrace to any people."
Where do you get your news?
Of equal concern is why the media ignored this good news coming from Iraq. It seems to be of a piece with how they've treated other recent positive developments in Iraq (see editorial below).
1st Amendment took a hit on July 4th
Back to the real world from 1969
I just spent a delightful 4 days with 7 of my high school girlfriends over the 4th of July holiday. You could call it a mini-class reunion. I highly recommended it!
It has been 39 years since we graduated from Shorewood High School. I have kept in touch with 6 of the old gang, be it just an annual Christmas letter for some, emails, phone calls, and the occasional lunch out for others.
91% of voters don't think Congress deserves good/excellent ratings
Oh, this is a new low (H/T Drudge): Congressional Approval Falls to Single Digits for First Time Ever today:
This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job.
The subject of Bush's "Lie" just got shipped to Canada
Over the July 4th holiday weekend, the AP broke the news that 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium--" the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment"-- was shipped from Iraq to Canada. Considering how many times we heard, Bush lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, you would think that would be BIG news.
I always thought it was possible and probable that Sadaam had, or would like to have had, nuclear or chemical weapons. After all, he showed no restraint after the Gulf War on his own people. Seems I wasn't mistaken. Monday's Investor's Business Daily editorial states,
G8 cut of CO2 by 2050 not enough?
The world cannot afford to wait until 2009 to cut American emissions.
The world will be cooked and the G8 leaders will be long forgotten. Hmmm, seems the oceans were going to be destroyed by now too.
Russia threatens U.S. because of antimissile system
The Times: Russia threatens military response to US missile defence deal
If evolution is a natural phenomena, why worry about global warming?
Somehow I just cannot square the pervasive belief in evolution with the fear of global warming, and yet, I would bet most evolutionists believe in global warming.
If we are not created in God's image and are just a product of evolving ooze, what difference does it make that the world is heating up?
T Boone, energy independence, and stopping the $ hemorrhage
Let me share a few facts: Each year we import more and more oil. In 1973, the year of the infamous oil embargo, the United States imported about 24% of our oil. In 1990, at the start of the first Gulf War, this had climbed to 42%. Today, we import almost 70% of our oil.
WIS. corn growers still selling ethanol idea
I just heard another ethanol radio ad. It stated, there is "only 8 cents of corn in a box of cornflakes." Then it tried to sell me on the idea that only 20% of the corn crop goes to ethanol production and that biofuel corn is not sweet corn--I would break my teeth on it. In other words, it is not human food corn, so don't worry about it causing food prices to rise. You can't eat it.
No, I cannot eat field corn, but chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, etc. DO eat it!
Global food prices rise 75%, far more than US says
Did you see Report Blames Biofuels for Food Crisis, A Report Leaked To The Guardian Newspaper Blames Biofuels For Food Shortage?
The report came out over last weekend, and it "contradicts U.S. government estimates that plant-derived fuels have contributed less than 3 percent to food-price increases," and "It wil add pressure on governments in Washington and Europe, which have turned to biofuels to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil."
Thou hast said it, Obama, you are all about "Change" ala flip-flop!
Now that Obama is the Democrat's candidate, there has been a lot of sashaying to the right. Be it gun rights, I was for Iraq before I was against it, wear the flag pin, dump your pastor, or you fill in the blank, the shift to center is on. He is even reaching out to Evangelicals. One shift was to the faith based initiatives, "a split with Democratic orthodoxy."
Obama won't comment on Iran Israeli relations
What can you expect from someone who looks to Winnie the Pooh for foreign policy http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2139573/Barack-Obama-aide-Why-Winnie-the-Pooh-should-shape-US-foreign-policy.html
Jimmy Carter was ahead 33% by this time in 1976
Yesterday I heard someone say that Jimmy Carter was ahead in the polls by 33% by mid-July. I checked it out and sure enough, it was true. His lead narrowed to just 2% by election day though.
Seeing as Obama isn't ahead of McCain by leaps and bounds, yet the media acts like he was already elected, I wondered how this election compared to other elections. (Although nothing about this election is typical!)
Here I thought I could tell Elmbrook: Practice what you teach
Yesterday, Brookfieldnow informed us there was a Hearing set on high school additions. That got my attention.
Could it be the board was still allowing public input on the referendum? If so, I would have requested that since Elmbrook has classes that teach global warming*, they should put into practice what they are teaching. If the district would scrap their plans to air condition both high schools, they could reduce our carbon footprint and reduce energy use. I am not a global warming-ist, but I do favor reducing costs: Air conditioning installation and operation costs money!
Iran fired missiles yesterday & today. Want to talk about it?
It is becoming more difficult to ignore the threat of Iran and its long-range (see UPDATE at bottom) missile program. Yesterday they fired 9 missiles and I heard 4* more overnight. I found the reaction of the candidates to this eyeopening.
Launch Brings Different Reactions:
Dreaded 3 words uttered and seen: Back to School
Before the 4th of July, I went in search of my son's favorite blue jean shorts. Where were they? I asked. That is when the store clerk uttered those most feared words in the English language....We're clearing those out because we are getting ready for "back to school" sales.
Of course, those same 3 words sometimes bring delight to a mother's heart--especially if the kids are being whiny and demanding.
Kids, how about a little Medieval Mahem next week? It's free!
If you are a child, 4 years old through 6th grade, you are invited to Brookside Baptist Church's Vacation Bible School next week.
The theme this summer is Medieval Mayhem. (I think it is based on an Armor of God theme--same topic as our recent Sunday sermons.)
Science lesson: "Our Mr. Sun," CO2, and the Germans
One of the benefits of being a homeschool mom is that essentially I had a refresher course on grades 1-12. (English skills are still rough!) It's been 39 years since I graduated from high school, but even without homeschooling, one thing I never forgot were the basics of photosynthesis. Seems like some of the Global Warmingists could use a refresher course too.
I still remember the 16mm educational film entitled, "Our Mr. Sun." It was quite entertaining and featured a very young Eddie Albert and a scientist. Coincidentally, I was able to show that same movie to my son for our science class. One of the things they discussed was photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is still a mystery today, but we do know the basic ingredients needed for plants to create food from sunlight: H20 + CO2.
President to lift executive ban on offshore drilling at 12:30
I just heard this announcement on the news: Bush to Lift Executive Ban on Offshore Oil Drilling. (This would be the moratorium his father enacted.) He will be talking about this decision from the Rose Garden at 12:30pm today.
This move will not make offshore drilling possible in itself, but it will put the pressure on the Congress to act,
Cost of "Hot Air Tour," Tailgate, and Brewer Game July 26th
UPDATE: The Hot Air Tour rally location has been moved to AFP headquarters at 1126 S. 70th St, West Allis, 1:30pm.
Americans for Prosperity offers you 3 options to learn more "about the serious threat global warming alarmism poses to our prosperity, including legislation being considered by Congress that would more than double gasoline prices."
Michelle suggests buying earrings, I'm paying property taxes
Last week Michelle Obama did it again. She said something that revealed who she is and how out of touch she is with the average American's economic circumstances.
The Washington Times reported that each campaign needed to rein in their surrogates:
Going "halvesies" should mean we each pay half--up front
I remember being surprised the first time I heard BC(2) was behind in their payments for the artificial turf project at Central High School. Behind? I would have thought they were required to pay their half up front? After all, what do you do if they can't or won't pay up?
Best case scenario, even if they only needed to pay their half in installments, that would still mean the school district (us) needed to finance their share until all payments were made.
Kohl, nobody's senator at all
Kohl letter on drilling. WHat, this is his version of I voted for it before I was against it?

We shouldn't have nuclear weapons, we shouldn't have weapons shields in outer space, yet Iran isn't a threat
First Amendment rights threatened by court ruling
McDonald's, I'm not lovin this either
If you remember, The American Family Association objected to McDonald's joining the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, making a $20,000 donation to that group, and placing a McDonald's executive on the their board back in April. McDonald's did not take the AFA's objections very seriously.
This month, the AFA is dialing up their objections a notch; they recently announced a McDonald's boycott because of McDonald's refusal "to stay neutral in the cultural war over
homosexuality." From The Washington Post:
skunk cabbage
electricity from manure
Electricty generated from manure!
Back in the 1970s, we were in an energy crisis. Because oil supply was limited and prices high, many alternative fuels and energy generating operations were talked about and tried. Capturing methane gas from rotting garbage was a popular idea at the time--I think it was even featured in Mother Earth News. (My husband and I were subscribers.) I don't remember if many people actually tried it though. Today, oil prices are up again and people are looking for alternatives.
I recently saw an interesting electricity generating operation on Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs show. Host Mike Rowe paid a visit to Fair Oaks Farm in Indiana where Mike helped with all sorts of dirty, grimy, icky, jobs in that "Dairy Cow Midwife*" episode. Mike literally rolled up his sleeves and even got in up past his elbow to help a cow deliver her calf. (Haven't seen that since watching All Creatures Great and Small!)
Making the most from methane
Paper or Plastic? Los Angeles says paper, Shorewood does too
Shorewood cotton bags are too small, the word on the street is...
"Inconvenient Fact(s)" Re:100% zero-carbon electricity in 10 years
Most of us heard about Al Gore's JFK-like 10 year challenge last week for "America to run 'on 100% zero-carbon electricity in 10 years." Bret Stephens wrote about it and Al Gore in his Wall Street Journal piece, Al Gore's Doomsday Clock. He wrote, "though that's just the first step on his road to 'ending our reliance on carbon-based fuels.' Serious people understand this is absurd. Maybe other people will start drawing the same conclusion about the man proposing it."
Do read the complete article. Bret Stephens presents many interesting statistics on where we have been and where we are going on our carbon-free electrical journey.
In Mr. Gore's prophecy, a transition to carbon-free electricity generation in a decade is "achievable, affordable and transformative." He believes that the goal can be achieved almost entirely through the use of "renewables" alone, meaning solar, geothermal, wind power and biofuels.Um, Mr. Gore, last time I looked, biofuel was not zero-carbon. Plants themselves contain carbon in the form of simple sugars (that is what makes them a fuel), emit CO2 at night, and require carbon fueled tractors for cultivating the crop and later transporting crops to biofuel making factories and finally to gas stations.
Pawlenty for V.P. predicted back in Nov. 2006
The Common Council's "Dog Days of Summer" - Correction
Traditionally, the days between July and September are called the Dog Days of Summer, not because of the heat and humidity causing you to pant like a dog, but because of the appearance of Sirius, the bright star in the constellation Canis Major.
But this summer, Brookfield's Common Council's Legislative & Licensing Committee* is having their own Dog Days. The Aldermen members are discussing whether or not Brookfield should adopt a dog and cat limit.

Brewer's boot "Hot Air Tour" from ballpark Saturday, July 26, but it's still a go!
Americans for Prosperity, a nationwide grassroots group, was to have held a rally/press conference as part of their Brewer game Taxpayer Tailgate outing tomorrow. The rally was to raise awareness "about the serious threat global warming alarmism poses to our prosperity, including legislation being considered by Congress that would more than double gasoline prices."
But the Brewer's ballpark decided they did not want anything political going on in their parking lot and so they said NO to the hot air balloon rides and Hot Air Tour, the name of the rally. They will not put any of that in writing, but the hot air balloon permit was canceled just the same.
Al Gore is no Ralph Nader
I don't agree with Ralph Nader on most things, but at least he practices what he preaches. Can't say the same for Al Gore.
This video clip was emailed to me from American's for Prosperity: "Watch our video exposing Al Gore's hypocrisy, and tell your lawmaker to allow more American energy production. CLICK HERE."
Boy Scout Troop 55 gives park shelters a face lift
Saturday, July 26th, Boy Scout Troop 55 will be giving several Brookfield park shelters an interior face lift.
Testing the waters: VK, McCain, and Elmbrook Swim Club
Unsure about how an idea will go over? Test the waters!
I saw it happen at the June 9th Plan Commission meeting with AJS' Percheron Square (VK). Their first plan came in with higher density and so AJS requested a PDD. It passed easily. (Sad part was, the more realistic plan--without the underground office parking--was not that much larger than the density already designated for.) Then, shortly after that approval, Community Watch (June 16) reported,
French president sounded more American than Obama!
I heard some of France's president's speech from when he was here. He sounded more like an American than our US presidential candidate, Barack Obama!
High gas prices hurt lower income people most
CORE addressed the Congress about this. Jerry Bott spoke about it on Mark Belling Monday, 28th.
Record gas prices in 1973, a starting teacher made about $8,000/year. Today, a starting teacher in Elmbrook makes $38,800/year.

weeks of camping, we graduated to visiting various National Parks out west. It has been great.
Guard your daughter against Guardisil vaccine
Last month I wrote an article about the HPV vaccine Gardasil, at which time the VAERS database contained 6,760 adverse events, including 16 deaths.
Infant vaccinations, they wouldn't treat a dog like that!
No need to drill, says Obama, just properly inflate your tires!
Wow! We don't need to drill in the US for more oil. All we have to do is properly inflate our tires*. At least that is what Obama said yesterday, Obama energy policy: 'Inflate your tires' Candidate claims oil savings would equal new production plans:
"There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy," Obama said. "Making sure your tires are properly inflated – simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling – if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You'd actually save just as much!"
Barack O-Boo-Boos
First it was that Barack visited all 57 states. (No, Heinz has 57 varieties, the U.S. has 50 states.)

About Justin Bieber
Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) Is a Canadian pop/R&B singer. He began his professional career on YouTube, where he was discovered by his future manager, Scooter Braun. Braun flew Bieber to Atlanta, Georgia, to consult with Usher and soon signed a record deal with Island. The first part of his two-part debut album My World was released on November 17, 2009. Four successful pre-album singles have been released: "One Time", "One Less Lonely Girl", "Love Me", and "Favorite Girl", which were Top 15 hits on the Canadian Hot 100 and Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. This accomplishment made Bieber the only solo artist in Billboard history to have four singles from a debut album chart in the Top 40 of the Hot 100 before the album's release. The album received positive reviews from critics, and debuted at #6 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 137,000 copies in its first week, which was the second best opening release for a new artist in 2009. It also debuted at #1 on the Canad ... Read More

Professors Goloubeva and Williams
Mathematics is an analytic tool used in all of the science and engineering courses. At the same time, by its very nature, mathematics is an abstract science. Mathematics at Webb is presented from the applied viewpoint, drawing upon the physical world for its motivation, developing the abstract concepts to refine the physical ideas, and finally applying those abstractions to a better understanding of the phenomena of nature. Many Webb students go on to graduate work involving higher mathematics, and it is a strong objective of the mathematics program to prepare them well for this work.
Freshman Year
This is an introductory course whose main purpose is to fill in the background of students who have already had an exposure to calculus in high school. The topics covered include limits, continuity, a review of trigonometry, derivatives of functions of one variable, the Riemann Integral and applications of derivatives and integrals to simple physical problems involving related rates, optimization, volume and center of mass. The mean value theorem is covered and extended to series approximations and applied to limits via L'Hopital's rule. The course also covers the elementary transcendental functions of exponentials, logarithms, inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions and their inverses and concludes with a quick review of the basic techniques of integration such as integration by parts and partial fraction decomposition. The pace is brisk.
The class meets four hours per week in the first semester.
This course contains most of the calculus of functions of several variables and includes partial derivatives, multiple integrals and gradients. Vectors are discussed along with the geometry of three-space. There is considerable emphasis of visualization and graphic representation of figures by the computer. The dot product is introduced in such a way as to facilitate its extension to higher dimensional space and ultimately this becomes the inner product in the function space of continuous functions over an interval. This function space approach is used to develop the generalized Fourier series. The trigonometric Fourier series is studied as a special case of the generalized Fourier series. The course also includes an introduction to linear algebra, which covers the rudiments of matrix algebra. Determinants are also introduced here. The course concludes with a unified discussion of real infinite series. The class meets four hours per week in the second semester.
Sophomore Year
This class is a basic course in differential equations. It covers the fundamental theorems that guarantee when differential equations and initial value problems, which involve first order linear and non-linear differential equations, have solutions. Linear first order ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients are first studied and general principles are developed which are applicable to all linear ordinary differential equations. This includes integrating factors, variation of parameter techniques and applications to RLC electrical circuits. This study of the linear ordinary differential equations also includes Taylor's series and series solution techniques and problems with singularities. Laplace transform techniques are studied for initial value problems. The course concludes with a review of Fourier series, which are then applied to the basic three forms of initial value problems involving partial differential equations. The class meets three hours per week in the first semester.
There are essentially three separate components to the course. The first component involves vector calculus and lasts for about 7 weeks. This material can best be described as the mathematics that is needed to study fluids. The course covers vector functions, gradients and vector and scalar field. Multiple integrals are covered more extensively than in Mathematics II and emphasis is placed on transformation of space/coordinates and the role of the Jacobian. The curl and divergence are introduced from a very physical point of view and their meaning in fluids is covered. Finally the three major theorems of vector calculus, Green's theorem, Stoke's theorem and the Divergence (Gauss') theorem are covered. A strong emphasis is placed on physical interpretation. This material is highly visual and extensive use is made of Maple to illustrate the concepts.
The second component of this class involves complex variables and lasts for about 7 weeks. This component covers the basic arithmetic and geometry of the complex number system. Then the calculus of functions of complex numbers is studied including the Cauchy-Riemann equations and the implications for harmonic functions. Complex exponential, trigonometric and logarithmic functions are defined and studied and there is a brief treatment of conformal mapping. In addition the standard Cauchy integral theorems are treated and these are related to Taylor's and Laurent series.
The third component of this course lasts about 10 class sessions and covers the remaining essential parts of linear algebra to which the students have not previously been exposed. The main focus is on finding and understanding eigenvalues and eigenvectors and what these mean for reduction of matrices into simpler equivalent forms. The class covers the Cayley-Hamilton theorem on the use of the characteristic polynomial to find inverses of matrices. We also cover the reduction of matrices to Jordan canonical forms. Part of the class is devoted to the calculus of matrices, which involves finding functions of matrices and using these functions to solve large systems of differential equations.
The course meets four hours per week in the second semester.
Junior Year
This course begins with an introduction to probability theory, including set theoretic and combinatorial concepts. This is followed by treatments of discrete random variables and distributions and continuous random variables. Generating functions are discussed at some length. Particular emphasis is placed on the Rayleigh and Weibull distributions, which are applied subsequently in the Ship Dynamics course as models of wave spectra and are also encountered as models of the manufacturing process. The latter third of this course addresses the application of statistical methods to engineering experimentation, beginning with an introduction to estimation and hypothesis testing and culminating with an overview of experiment design. The course meets four hours per week in the first semester.

We are so lucky.
Here at L'Auberge we get some of the classiest brides. Brides who really know their stuff and have incredible vision for their big day. Randi was definitely one of those brides.
Randi and her fiancee David came to the resort earlier this year with a plan to create a fabulous seaside wedding in a short four months. With the help of the incredibly talented Karen Tran and Jennifer Dailard, they definitely succeeded. From the ceremony carpeted in rose petals to the handmade menus and intricate centerpieces, this June wedding day was crafted with perfect detail.
Check out some of the stunning photos from this stylish couple's wedding day below (and many thanks to Darin Fong for providing these).
Congratulations, Randi and David. May your years to come be filled with thoughtful details and sweet surprises!

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was formed in 1919 from the merger of James Anthony Bailey and P. T. Barnum's Barnum & Baily Circus with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
6400 Sugarloaf Pkwy.
Duluth, GA 30097

Our entire family loves elephants, that is why we don't go to circuses anymore. After learning about what life is really like for circus elephants we realized there's no family fun to be had at an event that involves abusing and beating these majestic elephants to make them entertain us for a few minutes. The evidence that Ringling Bros starts beating their elephants when they are babies is overwhelming and we cannot ignore it. We would never condone or allow someone to treat our family animals inhumanely, just to make them perform tricks.
Now we support the two elephant sanctuaries in the US. We can watch via a webcam elephants living in a more natural setting The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee and PAWS in California. Your family can learn about the 25 elephants many who are former circus elephants that have lived there since being rescued.
When Ringling Bros Circus was in Atlanta Georgia, Lima one of their zebra's escaped the corral set up in a downtown parking lot and was running down the highway, he never recovered from his injuries. This is another reason why Wild Zebras & Elephants shouldn't be in traveling Circuses, living in boxcars, and herded down city streets to the arena. Ringling statement about the escape, "This rarely happens," folks this is the 4th time in 3 years that Ringling's zebras have gotten away. 4/10/08 Ringling cited by USDA, Inspector noted that on 3/20/2008, two zebras on the Red Unit exited from a partially open roll-up door. 3/20/08 three of the zebras who had previously escaped in 2007 from Ringling broke free from their enclosure. The animals wandered into traffic lanes before being corralled. (Baltimore Sun). 6/15/07 In Colorado 7 zebras & horses from Ringling escape from their handlers, the animals run onto a road next to the Interstate for 30 minutes. (AP) Feld Entertainment says we put on the, "Greatest Show on Earth" so there is no reason why they can't entertain the public with People Performers instead of Wild animals that they must abuse and beat to train them to perform. This solution would remedy the inhumane treatment of these Wild animals and the Circus could go on with People Performances. http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/bound-babies.asp
I caught them at HP Pavilion in San Jose and just had a wonderful time. My girls were awestruck with their attention constantly held by the acts, lights and fireworks, and dancing. Asked of their favorite part, the list just went on... the elephants, the dogs, the flowers, the horses, no tigers, the gymnasts...
Only criticisms are the outrageous prices for food and other concessions and the animal rights protesters outside who, though I completely understand where they are coming from, should have a little more sense than to protest so overtly where so many toddlers and children are present.
Also, be careful with the inexpensive tickets. You can get to the circus for around $15 but the view is likely obstructed; we completely missed the trapeze artists and spent 15 minutes entertaining the kids.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The upshot of all this is that, for the Christian, creator and created are not the same thing. And, more importantly, what is created is fully dependent upon its creator. The cosmos is not ontologically independent.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
Theological ideas about divine freedom and human reason were important reasons for adopting an intellectually modest, empirical approach to nature during the Scientific Revolution. The common picture of ongoing, inevitable conflict between science and religion is not only false, but perverse, for it prevents us from seeing the kinds of deep connections [between the two].
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.

If you are thinking about fixing your vacuum cleaner yourself, this Hoover section is the first place that you should visit. People often run to a repairman and waste money when they could easily fix their own vacuums for far less money; it really is easier than you think. Maybe the motor is no longer running because it needs a replacement belt that can be secured in place with basic tools that you already own. Maybe the vacuum is not picking up dirt and debris effectively because there is a small hole in the hose that is reducing air pressure. You can get a new hose and hook it on in just a few minutes, making the machine as good as new again. You could also get high-quality bearings, control cables, blower fans and much more. With these great Hoover parts, you can do the repair job on your own.

Although uncommon, errors can occur in your credit report. Ensuring everything is being reported accurately is key to unlocking the benefits of a positive credit history. A strong, accurate credit report will help you get the credit you want at the best rates available. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requires credit reporting agencies to notify lenders when you believe something is being reported incorrectly so that the information can be updated in the lender's records as well as in your credit report.
In order to find errors, you should check your credit report regularly. Websites like freecreditscore.com can help. By enrolling in freecreditscore.com, subscribers receive unlimited access to their credit report and score, and the chance to get credit score alerts, identity protection alerts and fraud resolution support. A mobile app allows users to monitor their credit on the go, and monthly reports and statements can help consumers stay on top of their credit and be aware of changes quickly.
When you review your credit report, check for these five issues:
1. Identification that doesn't belong to you – Your credit report lists information that is reported by lenders as belonging to you. Look for variations in name spelling, names you've never used, different street numbers or Social Security numbers. They may just reflect typos in a lender's records. But, they also could be a sign of identity theft. In either case, once found, the credit reporting company can help you correct the information or assist with fraud recovery.
2. Accounts that don't belong to you – Like variations in identity information, an unrecognized account may be a sign of fraud that requires immediate action. Know that accounts may be reported under a name you don't recognize. For example, a retail account may be reported under the name of the lender that actually manages the account for the store. If so, it would be no cause for concern, but it's best to monitor your report for extra peace of mind.
3. Incorrect payment status – Late payments hurt credit scores more than anything else. If an account is reported as late but you made the payment on time, you can contact the credit reporting agency to help get the information updated.
4. Public records that don't belong to you – Your credit report can include civil judgments, tax liens and bankruptcy public records. If your credit shows a lien against you for a home you don't own, or you have never declared bankruptcy but your report shows a court record or account as included in bankruptcy, your credit can be affected.
5. Inquiries you didn't make – Your credit report contains a list of creditors who have asked for it. Each entry on the list is called an inquiry. If you see inquiries you don't recognize, it could be a sign of fraud.
Your credit report likely won't have any errors, but if it does, one thing is certain: they can adversely affect your credit score, thereby hindering your ability to secure credit at favorable terms. The best way to spot credit report errors is to stay on top of your credit and to review your report regularly.

Interesting Facts about Micheal Wright
Meaning of Last Name
Meaning: "Worker or maker"
Origins: England
Wright is an occupational surname originating in England. The term Wright comes from the circa 700 AD Old English word "wryhta" or "wyrhta", meaning worker or shaper of wood. Later it became any occupational worker (for example, a shipwright is a person who builds ships), and is used as a British family name. Wright is also an anglicized version of the Scots Gaelic clan name "MacIntyre" or "Mac an t-Saoir", meaning "Son of the Wright", or Son of the Carpenter". The word Carpentier, now Carpenter was introduced into England in 1066 and slowly replaced the traditional name and meaning of wright. Wright is the thirteenth most common surname in the United Kingdom. Its use as a occupational title continued until the mid 1800s. Its occupational use was often combined with other words such as wheelwright or playwright.

As a major, religious studies examines the nature of religious beliefs, traditions, and ideas. It seeks to discover how religion evolves, affects culture and society, and influences human behavior. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, students in this major will study religion through academic subjects like history, anthropology, sociology, and psychology.
Religious studies differ from similar majors like pastoral studies, youth ministries, or biblical studies, in that instead of focusing on one religion, students gain a solid understanding of various world religions like Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. Students are exposed to the philosophy of religion as they explore arguments regarding the existence of God, life after death, and religious pluralism.
Curriculum in a religious studies program addresses topics like new religious movement, religion and moral issues, religion and politics, religious cults, religion and society, religious traditions of the world, and interpretations of religion. Course work involves a considerable amount of research, reading, writing, and discussion as students read theological and religious literature, such as the Old and New Testament, Quran, sacred texts, and more. Some courses may examine controversial topics in religion like Darwinism, reproductive technologies, and gender roles, just to name a few.
Religious studies majors develop strong critical and constructive thinking abilities, are able to interpret and evaluate complicated readings, and learn how to logically present ideas both orally and in writing. These skills along with a broad knowledge of all religions, prepares students for careers in areas such as law, business, public and political service, and education, as well as advanced study at graduate school or seminary.

I'm Roger Helmer, UKIP Member of the European Parliament for the East Midlands. Here you can find links to my recent speeches & articles and news about my work in the European Parliament. As the UKIP Spokesman on Industry and Energy, I often blog about our common-sense policies on energy and climate change, and the folly of the Brussels-driven climate change agenda.
I was first elected to the European Parliament in 1999 following my selection as the #1 candidate for the Conservative Party in the East Midlands, and was subsequently re-elected in 2004 and 2009. Before entering Parliament, I had an extensive business career starting in 1965 with Procter & Gamble, going on to hold senior marketing and general management appointments in a range of companies including well-known multinationals. My career led me to live and work across Asia, notably in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Korea, and I have found my decades of business experience invaluable in the European Parliament, especially since taking on my new rôle as Spokesman on Industry and Energy.
After 12 years as a Conservative MEP, and a great deal of thought and soul-searching, I recently made the decision to join the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). This was not a decision I made lightly, and I have explained it in full here. I decided to join UKIP because I believe the values I have always stood for – the values on which I was elected three times – are now better represented by UKIP than by the Conservative Party, which has repeatedly denied the British people the referendum they were promised on Continue reading

Survey: Lebo deer population increased dramatically
For the past year, Mt. Lebanon commissioners have heard an increasing amount of reports from residents that involved incidents with deer.
But at the commission's June 24 discussion session, commissioners got to see on paper just how much the deer population has increased in Mt. Lebanon.
Mt. Lebanon Public Works Director Tom Kelley presented the results of a deer survey that occurred earlier this year, and Mt. Lebanon Police Chief Coleman McDonough reported his findings of a two-year long study that recorded incidents that involved deer where Mt. Lebanon Police were called to the scene.
Kelley said the survey occurred from 6-9 p.m. on Feb. 25 during a single infrared flyover from the Boise, Idaho-based company Vision Air Research. The survey cost $5,640.
The group counted 342 deer, or 57 deer per square mile, during the flyover. In comparison, a deer survey was done in 2006 that reported a total of 90 deer, or 15 deer per square mile, in Mt. Lebanon.
"When done during the winter, air surveys are very accurate," Kelley said.
McDonough's findings were from a study that occurred from May 2011 to May 2013. The study tracked how many incidents and police calls involved residents and deer. McDonough said an incident involving a deer ranges from car accidents, dead or injured deer being reported on the road or even deer invading a resident's yard.
According to the report, in October 2011, there were 15 deer incidents reported, while in October 2012, there were 35 incidents reported. In May 2012, there were seven incidents reported and in May of this year, there were 36 incidents reported. McDonough said it costs $76 per incident when the municipality's animal control unit is called to the scene of an incident involving a deer.
"I think we have a lot of deer in Mt. Lebanon," McDonough said. "The question is, do we reduce the number or stabilize it?"
While commissioners were alarmed at the numbers from the reports, they expressed concerns for other reasons.
"We're not only putting our residents at risk, we're putting our public safety officers at risk, too," commissioner Kristen Linfante said. "They're driving down the roads at high speeds. It's only a matter of time before a major disaster occurs."

Made with solid cedar, the 8'x12'x20" garden provides approximately 65 square feet of planting space, and is perfect for a family of five or six. Past models were made with redwood, but due to supply issues, these are now made with cedar.
If you want to grow your own organic vegetables, but you're busy and don't have the patience to deal with pests eating your plants or don't have the time to water it every day, this complete system may be perfect for you. The innovative design removes many of the irritating problems gardening can have.
Features & Benefits:
- Rabbit-proof – fence sections are 34 inches high and backed with black mesh. The Gate is black mesh over wire grid for strength. Comes pre-assembled. If you have problems with woodchucks, we have had one report where the woodchuck jumped 4-feet up and into the garden, so check with your neighbors first.
- Tall beds – 20" tall beds mean you don't have to bend down as far, and the soil will retain more moisture than shorter beds. Plus, you can grow larger plants with deeper roots. No liner needed.
- High quality 5/4"-thick cedar — Thick red cedar lumber that is naturally rot resistant and ideal for damp environments.
- Built-in Trellis – peas, beans and flowers can climb the sturdy 5'8" tall trellis at the end of the bed.
- High-quality Fasteners – Included are rust-proof ceramic coated screws.
- Automatic watering system – and timer waters your garden for you. Comes with soaker hose and sprayer.
Built-in Trellis:
These beds come with a 5'8" high trellis at the end of the bed. As well, the mesh that is affixed to the side fencing panels is also good for trellising. You'll increase your growing space by allowing plants to grow vertically. Peas, green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes grow beautifully with the aid of the trellis.
Optional Automatic Watering System:
Located at the back corner of the garden, an automatic soaker hose watering system takes even the simplest of duties out of your hands. A garden hose can be connected to the unit, or the hose adaptor can be removed so the watering unit can be tied into your existing watering system with piping. We use a digital battery operated controller, manufactured by DIG Corporation, that is very easy to use. You'll never need to worry about watering your garden - it takes care of itself. Included is
- Soaker hose - lay this around your plantings, and cover with a layer of mulch to water efficiently.
- Coiled garden hose - stores neatly on a hook, and can reach any part of the garden.
- Garden sprayer - attach to end of the hose to water your plants gently. You can manually spray your plants if you choose to or use the hose to wash your hands.
You can set them up yourself, or have a local handy person follow the instructions and set it up for you. Assembly can take 3-4 hours, and adding the dirt (3.8 cubic yards) can take an additional few hours. Note that no digging is required ' the entire structure sits on your lawn.
All of our fencing sections are approximately 34" high and are backed with black plastic mesh. We use an air compressor staple gun and hundreds of tiny staples to securely fasten the mesh to the lumber. When the fencing is delivered, the mesh is already affixed. So, it takes only minutes to attach the fencing sections to the garden beds. The mesh will keep out dogs and rabbits. Up close, it looks attractive, but from a distance you can't even see it.
Please note that this garden kit is unstained.

Questions about the Cedar Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit - 8' x 12' x 20"
2 Item(s)
- From Robin Orth at 11/15/12 10:02 AM
- What would I need to do to prepare the ground where this is to set. Also, we have alot of rabbits. Will this system keep them out.
Thank you,
- The Cedar Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit can be set on the ground without having to prepare the ground beneath the beds, since the 20" soil depth of the raised beds is sufficient for growing just about any vegetable crop. However, there are benefits to digging the ground before you assemble the kit, since some of the roots of your vegetables will access the deeper soil for available nutrients. Also, pre-digging the subsoil gives you a chance to remove any large rocks or debris which may impede root growth or drainage.
In our raised bed garden, we dig down about 12 - 16" to break up the soil, clear it of rocks, and add some amendments such as lime and rock phosphate before constructing any new beds. The bulk of the amendments, such as compost, peat and fertilizer are top-dressed, i.e., added once the bed is nearly full. We wait until almost planting time before adding these valuable amandments.
This raised bed kit is designed with rabbit-proof fencing, so the rabbits should not be a problem.

- What would I need to do to prepare the ground where this is to set. Also, we have alot of rabbits. Will this system keep them out.
- From Maureen at 1/2/11 3:30 PM
- We are interested in purchasing a Redwood Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit, however we have deer and a lot of wind. Do you have any suggestion on how to deal with these problems. We are not allowed to put up a deer fence around our property, but we might be able to but screening around/attached to the garden bed. And is there screening that would block or reduce the wind, and allow the sunlight to come in?
- Deer fencing is commonly sold in farm-supply stores, and hardware stores. It comes on a roll, and can be either 4' or 8' wide, and as long as you like. It's a very thin black mesh, with each square measuring about one inch by one inch. It's also very inexpensive - a 60' long section might only cost you $30.
The great thing about this deer fencing is it lets the sun through just fine and it doesn't obscure your view. In fact, because it's thin and black, it's almost invisible when its up. The wind will blow right through it without a problem.
You may have to run a thin white line/cord through the top of the mesh fence to show the deer that the fence is there. If it's really dark at night in your area, the deer might not see the fence. I've used this in my garden and it's kept the deer out.
We can customize your bed with taller corner posts so that all you need to do is wrap the mesh around. We can also install extra fencing panels on the bed in case you'd rather not bother with the mesh.
Just give us a call today and we can explain the options in more detail!

Worth it
By 3/6/12on All my reviews (2)
My neighbor and friend purchased the cedar complete kit on this site last year, and after seeing hers I figured I'd spend the extra money and get the American-made version listed here. It looks like something right out of the pages of Martha Stewart's designer homes! I went with the staining and am glad I did. One less thing to worry about. It truly looks amazing in my backyard. Gets me excited just looking at it!

Thought I'd let you all know how happy I am with my kit. It was easy to put together, and it looks beautiful on my yard. It was a little pricey I thought, but now that it's there I'm happy I spent the $. It'll be there for a few decades, I expect. The wood's really nice, and it's in a spot with good drainage so I think it'll last just fine. It didn't take long at all to assemble, and all the parts were there. One of those few purchases where I'm actually truly satisfied! Thanks guys!

Prices, but a great product
By 4/25/11on
Ordering process, including having questions answered was very easy. Great staff at EarthEasy went above and beyond. Everything will arrive on a LARGE pallet, so be prepared for that. Assembly is easy and can be completed by two people in two to four hours depending upon your skill level and tools used. Quality of the wood itself is EXCELLENT! Parts assemble easily and pre drilled holes save time. Power drill / driver with clutch recommended. If your driver does not have a clutch you may wish to hand tighten the final few turns. Preferred stainless steel hardware due to our climate and bought that myself, but the coated hardware provided will work fine for most users. I actually supplemented some of the pre assembled areas with stainless steel screws in addition to the coated screws they used, but that again was due to our harsh climate. The irrigation system was a bit of a pain to assemble. Consider whether you need it or can create a simpler system yourself. The quality of the irrigation system is very good. The numerous fittings are just a pain to work with and if you do not have everything right it will not fit the pre drilled openings. The addition and use of a 25 psi pressure regulator available for less than $15 will help to minimize leaks. Filling this beast with soil will take about another three to five hours for one or two people depending upon how ambitious you are. Four yards of soil is a LOT of soil to hand fill, so allow plenty of time for that. While it can be done in one day you might want to consider doing it in two.
Bottom line.....This is a very good quality product, which you would expect at this price level. Be sure to pre plan well. Will you need a gravel base beneath the garden for drainage? Will you need to build a four or six inch tall perimeter around the gravel to keep it in place? Allow adequate time for assembly and especially to fill with soil. Then sit back and enjoy as your neighbors will envy the quality and appearance of this raised bed garden.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes
Keeps the rodents out!
By 1/19/11on
I got this kit because we have a serious gopher problem where I am. Since there's wire mesh covering the floor of the beds, gophers are unable to get in. The garden is also rabbit proof, which is an added bonus. No more stolen veggies!
